Commission Members not present included Ted Billy, Kevin Knight and Jack Johnson. Staff present included Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation; Stephen Sullivan, Landscape Architect/Parks Planner; Dorothy Peterson, Superintendent of Recreation; John VonDeLinde, Parks Superintendent; Rich Brasch, Water Quality Coordinator,Tom Schuster, City Forester; Paula Nowariak, Recreation Supervisor; Dan Schultz, Intern and Cherryl Mesko,Secretary. AGENDA Director Vraa noted that there were three miscellaneous items to be included under Other Business and Reports. Erin Ipsen-Borgersen moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the agenda as amended. MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 7, 1993 Dan Mooradian moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the minutes of January 7, 1993- as presented. CONSENT AGENDA After review of the park and trail dedication issues by Park Planner Stephen Sullivan and review of the water quality issues by Water Resources Coordinator Rich Brasch, Lee Markell moved,Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded the motion to make the following park/trail dedication recommendationsto the City Council regarding Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition. All members voted in favor. 1. Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition. It was noted that the parks dedication requirement has been fulfilled in accordance with the Winkler Jackson Planned Development. The Planned Development Agreement is specific to the developers responsibility to install a bituminoustrail along the east side of Slater Road from Cliff Road to Slater Acres Park. Therefore, the parcel's location west of Slater Road is not responsible for trail construction or a cash trails dedication. The developer is responsible for submitting a tree protection plan for City review and approval prior to final plat. Erin Ipsen-Borgersen moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following water quality dedication recommendations to the City Council regarding Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition. 1. Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition. The proposed development be required to provide a pond on site to treat stormwater runoff from the southern portion of the site. The treatment pond design should be subject to staff approval and have a wet pond volume of at least. 7 acre-feet and a minimum average depth of 3 feet. A sump should be excavated just off the flared end of the storm sewer entering Pond AP-10 from the North. Finally, filling or draining of Pond AP-10 or the adjacent wetland is prohibited. Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of February 4,1993 meeting Page 2 PONDVIEW TOWNHOMES - GOOD VALUE HOMES Parks Planner Sullivan introduced this item noting that the parcel is within Parks Service Area #21 which is currently not served with a public park. With the platting of Deerwood Middle School the Commission reviewed the parkland need within this PSA and recommended that the need be determined once the land use was designated for the 80 acre parcel of land located at Diffley and 35E. The Commission further commented that the updating of the Comprehensive Parks System Plan may also provide the needed evaluation for PSA #21. Steve noted that the vegetative cover of the site is primarily small, secondary growth covering a majority of the parcel. The larger boxelders and elms that line the western pond edge are proposed to be preserved with development. The plans propose the removal of a 48" cottonwood tree on the northwest corner of the site and Steve suggested that some thought be given to preserving this tree. The final issue Mr. Sullivan reviewed was relative to the City Code provision for Recreation Open Space within all multiple family developments. Based on the City Code requirements, the 32 proposed units would equate to 6800 square feet of recreation open space required for this plat. Steve added that there is adequate green space adjacent to the unit central to the site to accommodate the open space required. Water Resources Coordinator Brasch reviewed the water quality requirements as well as the wetland protection issues relative to this proposal. Rich noted that the proposed development is located in drainage basin J with the runoff from the development being discharged to pond JP-3, a 10 acre wetland classified as a sediment basin directly connected with Fish Lake. Relative to wetland impact, Mr. Brasch noted that adjacent to the DNR protected wetland is a fringe wetland which was delineated throughout the development site by a consultant hired by the developer. The developer proposed to fill approximately 230 square feet of this fringe wetland to allow placement of two townhouse units in the northern portion of the site between the noise reduction berm along Highway 35E on the west and the wetland on the east side. The developer has indicated that failure to fill this area would result in the loss of four building units and a loss of approximately $400,000 in revenue. Rich continued that the mitigation area proposed would be excavated to the elevation of the existing wetland fringe to create a substrate and gradient that would allow sedges in the fringe to expand. It was also noted that the replacement would be supervised by a qualified contractor. A representative of Good Value Homes addressed the Commission noting that they agree with Steve and Rich's review of the issues as well as their recommendations. He did note, however, that it may be difficult to preserve the cottonwood tree as requested but the developer would make every effort to try to accommodate that request as well. After further discussion, Dan Mooradian moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following parks/trails dedication recommendations to the City Council: 1. The proposal be subject to a cash parks dedication. 2. The proposal be subject to a cash trails dedication. 3. The developer revise the grades adjacent to the central unit providing a minimum of 6800 square feet of flat recreation open space. 4. The developer provide staff with a tree protection plan prior to final plat which locates fencing to protect significant trees during the construction time frame. Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of February 4,1993 Meeting Page 3 5. The site plan preserve the trees adjacent to the single family home providing the area a buffer between the adjacent differing land uses. 6. The site plan preserve the trees adjacent to the pond. 7. The developer attempt to preserve the 48' cottonwood once the site plan is changed. Jonathan Widem moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following water quality/wetland dedication recommendations to the City Council: 1. The proposed development be required to provide a cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding to meet water quality treatment requirements. 2. Excavated sumps of at least 80 cubic yards should be created at the end of each storm water pipe entering the wetland from the development. 3. The cash dedication will be reduced commensurately to provide a credit for the area and volume of these sumps. 4. Because of the small area of fill proposed and the steps that the developer has taken to minimize filling, the proposed wetland replacement plan should be approved as proposed. DEERHAWK ADDITION - DAKOTA COUNTY STATE BANK Parks Planner Sullivan introduced this item as an application requesting the preliminary plat of six single family lots on 2.42 acres locate south of Deerwood Drive and east of Blackhawk Drive. Steve continued that the Commission has reviewed this proposal previously and recommended a cash parks and trails dedication, however there are some water quality issues that remain to be reviewed by the Commission. Water Resources Coordinator Brasch explained that the Commission previously reviewed this development in September, 1992 when the developer was proposing to subdivide the parcel into five lots instead of six, as is now proposed. The Commission previously recommended a cash dedication to satisfy water quality which should be adjusted upward slightly to account for the increased impervious area associated with the addition of an extra lot. Relative to the wetland issues, Rich continued that the Commission authorized filling of up to 1500 feet of a wetland on the site,provided the filled wetland area was replaced on the site at a ratio of at least 1:1 to meet the requirements of the state Wetlands conservation Act. This was recommended to avoid destruction of a number of mature oak trees toward the rear of Lot 3, which would have occurred if the house pad had been moved to completely avoid wetlands impacts. The recommendation was also predicated on the existence of adequate space in the northwest corner of the site to expand the existing wetland to the west to meet replacement requirements. Rich continued that field reconnaissance of the site by City staff indicated that the wetland on the site maybe significantly larger than the one designated on the original site plan. With this change, Rich indicated there is some question whether there will be adequate space on the site to replace the filled wetland area without impacting the current site plan. Gary Fuchs, representing Dakota County State Bank noted that they are in agreement with staff's recommendations and understand the need to identify the exact size of the wetland so that they can proceed with this project. Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of February 4,1993 Meeting Page 4 Lee Markell asked if the wetland could be made to look more natural rather than trying to "jam" it into the corner of the site. Mr. Fuchs asked that the Commission consider giving Rich Brasch the discretionary option to determine the shape of the wetland in working with the owner of this site. Mr. Fuchs also asked the Commission to consider increasing the wetland fill area from 1500 to 2800 square feet. As a point of clarification, Mr. Brasch noted that a site is exempt from the Wetlands Conservation Act if the wetland is a result of a public improvement project as was the case with Blackhawk and Deerwood Roads After further discussion Erin Ipsen-Borgersen moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following parks/trails recommendations to the City Council: 1. The proposal be subject to a cash parks dedication. 2. The proposal be subject to a cash trails dedication. Erin Ipsen-Borgersen moved, Dan Mooradian seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following water quality/wetland recommendations to the City Council: 1. Authorize the proponent to fill up to 2800 square feet of the wetland contingent on submission and approval of the delineation findings and a replacement plan after preliminary plat but prior to approval of the final plat. The actual configuration of the wetland is to be worked out between the proponent and Mr. Brasch. LEXINGTON SQUARE "RELEAF" GRANT PROJECT Director Vraa introduced this item as an update on the status of the Minnesota Releaf Grant recently awarded to the City by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The $4,000 grant is intended to fund an innovative project of tree planting for energy conservation on a neighborhood level basis. Parks Superintendent VonDeLinde reiterated that the Lexington Square subdivision had been selected for this project and under the provisions of the grant each homeowner in Lexington Square will be asked to plant two tree seedlings, along with Tubex tree shelters in strategic locations in their yard to promote energy conservation. The seedlings and tree shelters will be provided free to the homeowners. It is expected that a preliminary mailing to the Lexington Square neighborhood will occur on February 1st describing the benefits of tree planting and energy conservation along with an overview of the Minnesota Releaf Program. A follow up mailing is expected to reach homeowners by March 15th spelling out the steps for individual participation in this project. Residents will be asked to fill out the sketch sheet showing the proposed planting site and species in relation to the placement of the house on the lot and return that sketch to the Forestry Division by April 1st. The third letter will then be sent, once planting stock is available, providing residents with planting and tree care instruction and informing them when and where their trees and Tubex shelters can be picked up. Following the planting process, City Forester Schuster noted that the growth of these trees will be monitored to determine the effectiveness of this reforestation project. It is expected that after 3-4 years there will be sufficient data to report back to the Department of Natural Resources. Lee Markell complimented staff on the excellent job they've done in empowering citizens in a project of this magnitude. Lee asked if other cities were participating in a program such as this. Tom Schuster responded that this was one of the first of it's kind and fits very well into the guidelines of the Minnesota Releaf Program which is geared primarily toward energy conservation. Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of February 4, 1993 Meeting Page 5 John VonDeLinde concluded that there are 370 households in the Lexington Square addition and there are enough trees to provide two per household. Staff is hoping for a high percentage of participation. PARK NAMING Director Vraa asked that this item be deferred to the March Commission meeting. GOLF DRIVING RANGE UPDATE Director Vraa explained that the City Council has reviewed this request and has asked staff to continue with the process of working out an agreement with Mr. Kuchera and Mr. Helgeson regarding the use of Lexington/Diffley for a golf driving range. Ken continued that one of the issues that remain is access to the site which will need to be worked out. Director Vraa noted that electrical service can be brought in from the U.S. West building but the water line for irrigation needs to be resolved. Ken concluded that the Council appreciated the Commission's input. STRUCTURING THE ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Director Vraa introduced this item noting that the City Council had postponed appointing new Commission members pending the discussion by the Commission as to the feasibility of restructuring this body. Ken explained that there were a large number of applicants who has expressed an interest in serving on the Advisory Commission and the Council was attempting to determine how best to use the resources of the individuals who had applied. Ken outlined some options the Commission may want to consider including 1) leaving the Commission as it currently exists; 2) expanding the Commission to a greater number; 3) restructuring the Commission duties and provide for two separate and distinct commissions-Parks and Recreation and Natural Resources; 4) restructuring the Advisory Commission to include a sub-committee of non-Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission members with the sole purpose of reviewing environmental issues. DirectorVraa reviewed with the Commission the background resulting in the Commission's name being changed from Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission to Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission. He also included the Mission Statement drafted by George Kubik in 1990 relative to the issues that would be discussed by the Advisory Commission concerning the preservation and enhancement of the natural resources of the City of Eagan. The Mission Statement was approved by the Advisory Commission and later referenced when the City Council was asked to consider renaming the Commission which they did. Ken continued that the City Council is now asking for input from the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission as to how they would like to see the Commission proceed. Lee Markel) thanked Ken for the thorough job in defining the background and options for the Commission to consider. Dan Mooradian added that the memorandums and Mission Statement clearly outline the important issues at hand. Dan continued that his personal sense was that by splitting the commission into two separate entities the level of discussion on a single issue would multiply drastically. He added that another commission would add yet another layer for developers to get through before proceeding to the City Council. Mr. Mooradian expressed his support for increasing the number of Commission members feeling that this option would allow for more community involvement while maintaining the continuity of the overlapping issues that are addressed by the current Commission. Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of February 4,1993 Meeting Page 6 Jonathan Widem concurred with Mr. Mooradian's comments adding that the issues addressed by the Commission are so closely inter-related that it would be difficult to separate parks and recreation issues from natural resources issues. Jonathan continued that since there is such a good working relationship with developersthat adding another layerof commission review seemed unnecessary. Mr. Widem did acknowledge, however, the importance of utilizing the expertise of those residents who have expressed an interest in the APRNRC. Mr.Widem suggested expanding the Commission to 10 members. Erin lpsen-Borgersen indicated she first thought the addition of a sub-committee of non-Advisory Commission members would be the best option to include more people in the discussion process, however she indicated she is leaning more toward increasing the number of participants on the Commission to ten. Deborah Johnson expressed her concern for adding too many people either through expansion of the size of the Commission or additional sub-committee members because of the potential for "over discussing" issues. She cautioned that by adding too many people, the Commission could find itself in a situation where issues got "bogged down' with discussion making it difficult to make decisions in a timely fashion. Dan Mooradian reiterated his suggestion to add Commission members in an attempt to ensure that there would be enough participating members at all times to conduct business. Erin Ipsen-Borgersen added the importance of having a quorum at all meetings in order to effectively resolve the issues this Commission has been given charge of. Lee Markell suggested that consideration be given to both adding Commission Members and empowering citizens by inviting them to participate on subcommittees. Dan thought this may be a workable compromise to which Erin agreed. Lee continued that a 'grass roots" approach to including those citizens who had expressed an interest in participating would be beneficial in the long run. After further discussion, Jonathan Widem moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded with all members voting in favor to recommend to the City Council that the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission be increased to eight (8) members and one (1) alternate and that a Citizen's Sub-committee of up to 5 members be appointed to aid the Commission on issues it deems appropriate. Director Vraa reiterated that this was the largest number of people to apply for the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and the Council wanted to see if there was a way in which to include all the areas of expertise represented by these individuals. Dan Mooradian suggested that input could be solicited from those interested individuals to determine what their interests are and to see how the Commission can use their expertise. SCOPE OF SERVICES - PARK SYSTEM PLAN UPDATE Director Vraa introduced this item as the Scope of Services that will be sent to consultants regarding the update of the Park System Plan. The procedure that is anticipated includes the Scope of Services being sent, a follow-up proposer's meeting for interested bidders, written responses reviewed, interviews, recommendation to the City Council and the hiring of a consultant. Ken continued that he wanted the Commission to be aware of how extensive this project will be. He also added that there is no budget at this time but it is anticipated that the project may be bid in the $40,000-55,000 range. Lee Markell asked if the Council is obligated to take the low bid. Mr. Vraa responded that the Council has the option of selecting the consultant they feel is most appropriate for this project. Mr. MarkelI asked if staff is looking for volunteers for the interview committee and Mr. Vraa responded that this will be addressed at the March Commission meeting once the new members are in attendance. Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of February 4,1993 Meeting Page 7 LANDSCAPE, TREE PRESERVATION AND TURF ESTABLISHMENT POLICIES Superintendent of Parks VonDeLinde introduced this item indicating that a series of changes to the City's "post-development" landscape and tree maintenance ordinances were recommended by the Commission in 1990 and adopted by the City Council. These included an updating of the City's shade tree disease ordinances, the adoption of a new ordinance governing turf establishment and erosion control on newly developed lots and a new program for allowing the planting of trees within public road right-of-way areas under a permit system administered by the Forestry Division. John continued that as a result of the Landscape Committee's work, three draft environmental policies have been developed. One is new landscaping regulations under Chapter 11 (Land Use Regulations) of the City Code, another is new regulations governing lawn establishment and maintenance underChapter 10 (Public Protection) of the City Code and the third is a new tree preservation and replacement policy which is a free standing policy but not an ordinance. After reviewing some items addressed within the new landscape ordinance John explained that the ordinance, which was adopted by the Advisory Commission, has also been ratified by the City Council. Mr. VonDeLinde then reviewed the proposed Turfgrass Establishment and Maintenance Ordinance noting that it would be appropriate for the Commission to approve, modify or deny the proposed final draft before forwarding it on to the City Council. Tree preservation and replacement policy was the next item reviewed by Mr. VonDeLinde. John explained that the City does not currently have a specific ordinance, policy or guideline which addresses standards for the preservation and/or replacement of trees within new developments or building sites. John added that to date, most tree preservation initiatives have been worked out between developers, builders and staff through a negotiation process. At this point staff is requesting input from the Commission before proceeding with the tree preservation and replacement policy. Erin lpsen-Borgersen asked that Item C -1c be clarified. Dan Mooradian asked if the intention of the tree replacement policy was to provide an incentive for developers to preserve trees. John responded that that was the catalyst for this policy. Deborah Johnson asked how often developers do not comply with tree preservation. Steve Sullivan responded that developers have become more aware of the City's desire for tree preservation and been more pro-active in this regard. In some instances, Steve continued, developers have done lot by lot grading which preserves more trees than mass grading. It is hope that this policy will help to preserve even more trees as well as find an equitable way in which to provide for tree replacement should mass grading be necessary on a site. After further discussion, Erin lpsen-Borgersen moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to recommend to the City Council that the proposed final draft of the Turfgrass Establishment and Maintenance Ordinance be ratified. Lee Markell asked if further comments from the Commission could be forwarded to John VonDeLinde regarding the tree preservation and replacement policy. John indicated the Commission's input would be appreciated and staff would bring this issue back to them in March or April. SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS - GOAT HILL PARK Director Vraa introduced Recreation Supervisor Paula Nowariak who would be presenting a concept plan to allow for sand volleyball courts within Goat Hill Park hockey rinks. Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of February 4,1993 Meeting Page 8 Recreation Supervisor Nowariak explained that due to the popularity of sand volleyball in the community, staff has looked at the expansion possibilities for this sport. Currently there is not room to expand at Rahn Athletic because of softball usage, parking limitations and the heave usage by public groups. Staff looked into adding sand volleyball courts at Northview Athletic but didn't propose this site because the space that is available would be better used for other amenities for the park. A site at Eagan High was viewed and determined to betoo small and neighborhood parks in which space might be available lacked sufficient parking for sand volleyball activity. After some research it was determined that a viable option would be to place sand volleyball within an existing hockey rink. It was felt that Goat Hill Park would accommodate groups, picnics, leagues and casual use for sand volleyball. Paula then reviewed several options that had been designed with cost estimates for installation. The proposed plan would be to bring in approximately 10-12' of sand which would be removed in winter to accommodate flooding of the rinks. The removal and use of the sand pre-winter for use by maintenance for road sanding is being researched as well. After discussion of the options available, Lee Markell moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded with all members voting in favor to recommend Option D with double courts and no edging in one hockey rink located in Goat Hill Park WATER QUALITY UPDATE Director Vraa indicated that Water Resources Coordinator Brasch would like to have a Watershed Management member named from the Commission which would meet every other month. Ken suggested that once the new Commission members are appointed then this appointment could be made. ADA UPDATE Superintendent of Recreation Peterson reviewed the status of the City's implementation of ADA requirements. Dorothy noted that city facilities, including park shelter buildings, parking lots and other ancillary park elements were evaluated for accessibility in 1992 and a limited numberof barriers were identified at that time. Part two of the ADA accessibility assessment has also been completed and at issue is barriers to participation in city programs. As an update of recreation programs Dorothy indicated that a brainstorming format worked well. Dorothy noted that because of the diverse variety of recreation programs offered through Parks and Recreation the Office of Revenue Sharing rules require that not all of the City's programs be accessible, but when viewed in their entirety are accessible and usable by persons with disabilities. This would constitute affording equal opportunity to persons with disabilities. MINNESOTA VALLEY TRAIL UPDATE Superintendent of Recreation Peterson introduced this item as a joint effort of DNR, Minneapolis Park Board, Mendota Heights and Eagan to discuss trail connections with the repair/replacement of the Mendota Bridge. Dorothy indicated that meetings had occurred, and will continue to occur, to see how the agencies involved can tie together with a trail system. There may a possibility that ISTEA grant dollars may become available for a program such as this which would tie community to community. DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS Dorothy Peterson shared a video of recreation programs that have occurred during the winter session to give the Commission an overview of programs and use levels within the parks. The video included programs such as bandy at the Lexington/Diffley site, mite hockey tournament at Rahn and tubing at Trapp Farm Park. Ken Vraa noted that the attendance at the skating rinks and tubing hill has been excellent this year. Adult programs highlighted included the snow softball tournament and boot hockey tournament. Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of February 4,1993 Meeting Page 9 John VonDelinde acknowledged the anonymous contribution of producing the 1993 Arbor Day poster for distribution in the elementary schools, in installation of winter lake aeration systems at Fish and Schwanz Lakes and the fact that Berkley Risk Services is using Trapp Farm Park as a model of an ideal tubing facility when discussing this facility with other communities wanting to provide this program. ROUND TABLE Director Vraa brought the Commission's attention to two letters received by the Department. The first was a letter requesting the use of a fenced field at Goat Hill Park for the purposes of running/exercising a dog. Staff responded to Ms. Fredrickson's request indicating that they would not be able to accommodate her request. The second letter was from Mr. Wayne Huot, Eagan Traveling Soccer, asking that the City consider initiating a per team fee for field maintenance in 1994 rather than 1993 to allow them time to budget for it. Ken also commented that a neighborhood meeting regarding the Lexington/Diffley site would be held on February 18 and invited Commission Members to attend. Finally, Mr. Vraa addressed the letter of resignation from Steve Sullivan. Ken expressed the Department's regret in losing Steve but the position he has accepted with Dakota County Parks is a good opportunity for him. Ken added that Steve will be deeply missed. Steve addressed the Commission and thanked them for having given him the opportunity to participate is such a positive nurturing environment. Steve reviewed some of the highlights of his nine years with the City noting that in that time frame 30 parks had been developed, 6 parks had been acquired,and he has worked on public contracts totaling over $5,000,000. Steve continued praising the Department's cooperative team spirit and Ken's leadership that facilitated that type of working environment. Steve thanked the Commission for their commitment to the Eagan Parks System and their understanding of the value for having a landscape architect on staff. Although it is difficult to leave, Steve concluded that working for the City of Eagan has been a wonderful learning/working experience and he felt confident that he was leaving the Parks and Recreation Department in good hands. Deborah Johnson commented on the team approach displayed by staff noting that this in a very unique situation which very few organizations have the luxury of functioning in. She congratulated Ken Vraa for providing such a positive environment for the department to function in. Erin Ipsen-Borgersen asked that some further consideration be given to the option of a dog run in Eagan for those residents who do not have a fenced yard, i.e. townhome/condom in ium residents. Director Vraa stated staff would research this issue and bring it back before the Commission at a later date with their findings. With no further business to conduct, Deborah Johnson moved, Dan Mooradian seconded with all members voting in favor to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 10:20 p.m. 5' 43 Secretary Date
