Community use of the athletic fields during non-school hours will begin later this spring. Baseball and Lacrosse are tentatively scheduled for the site. • The Civic Arena hosted the 2006 Junior Gold State A hockey tournament for Minnesota Hockey. • A cooperative program with EAA-Travel Baseball was recently completed. "Baseball Practice" was for boys ages 8-15 and was held on the turf at the Eagan Civic Arena. Volunteer Coaches from Travel Baseball were the instructors. The program filled with 65 participants. The 8-11 year old class filled with 30 registrants within 3 hours. The 12-15 year old class was full within 24 hours. • A free tennis block party is scheduled for Saturday, Apri129 at the Northview Athletic Complex from 9:00 am to noon. Last year's success with this program prompted the United States Tennis Association to contact Eagan Parks and Recreation to offer this program again this year. During the morning there will be tennis demonstrations, skills and drills, and fun activities for the whole family. • SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • Saturday, April 1sT was a busy day at the Community Center, including the bi-annual Mothers of Multiples Sale (in which over 1,200 participants attended), two boutiques, nine birthday parties, a wedding, and a Girl Scout overnight party. , • The Civic Arena provided the 7th annual Home and Leisure show on March 17-19th -staff estimated about 1,500 in attendance for the three day event. • The Civic Arena was host to a job fair on March 23ra • FOSTER HUMAN DEVELOPMENT • The South of the River Recreators (SORB) has again created a terrific new collaborative program. The GPS Amazing Family Race is planned for Saturday, Apri129. Family teams will get a list of coordinates to find using their Global Positioning Systems. At each coordinate they will be asked to complete a particular task or fmd something specific. At the end of the morning a lunch party will celebrate the winners of the event. The SORB group also received a grant for this program, with which they intend to use to purchase additional GPS for future programs. • The Oasis: 22, primarily high school age youth, hung out and sang Karoake on March 31. '105 middle school age youth attended Club O on April 7th • Average daily attendance for the Oasis in March is 10. • PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCES • With.spring rains and warmth generally comes a flush of dandelion growth. Because dandelions are not classified as a "noxious weed" (obnoxious perhaps) there are no specific requirements for their control on public or private property. The City limits its control efforts to those areas where dandelions may hinder an activity (athletic field) or public buildings. Rather than spraying chemicals the City prefers to foster the growth of thick grass that crowds out dandelions. Dandelions are an annual and will disappear in a couple of weeks, returning in the fall (best time to treat). • The Forestry Division will continue with the popular resident Buckthorn removal program. Residents and civic groups can volunteer to remove this highly invasive plant from public or private property and the City will pick up the subsequent brush pile. To participate residents must follow a few simple steps; 1. Contact the City Tree Inspector to arrange a site visit to verify the presence of Buckthorn. (651-675-5300) 2. Schedule a day, alert the City of Eagan Staff 3. City staff will remove the brush pile from a predetermined location, generally the front yazd boulevazd. (Mondays only) • Staff will be conducting controlled burns of several native prairies located within parks including Thomas Lake and Wescott Station. Burning is a tool to control the growth of non-native species. • As part of its comprehensive commitment to surface water quality, the City regulates the sale and display of lawn fertilizer. City Code §6.51 requires all that market lawn fertilizer with. any amount of phosphorus to have: a) phosphorus-free fertilizer also available; b) separate displays of each type; and c) greater amount or prominence of phosphorus-free fertilizer displayed. After visits last month to retail businesses that mazket lawn fertilizer in Eagan, Water Resources staff has certified all to be in compliance with City regulations. At its April 18 meeting, the City Council will formally recognize these "Business Watershed Stewards" for supporting lake water quality. • INCREASE CULTURAL AWARENESS (Including history & nature programs) • Three camps will be held this summer in cooperation with Dakota County Parks. Day Camp, Exploring the Outdoors and Junior Survivor Camp will be held for youth at Camp Sacajawea in Lebanon Hills Regional Park. • PROMOTE HEALTH & WELLNESS • Park staff has completed the sweeping of over 100 miles of park and boulevard trails. Any sand is swept onto the grass boulevard where it is picked up by either the County or City road crews • The process of preparing fields for spring and summer use has begun. Neazly 45 soccer fields of varying dimensions and 60 to 70 infields will be needed to meet demands. • Water turn on's have begun I park areas. The process takes 3 to 4 weeks. Restrooms will not be open until Memorial day except for scheduled events. • Softball schedules are almost complete. The season is set to begin the week of Apri124 with the Two Game Tune-Up being held on Saturday, Apri122.

Preliminary Gradin PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION 1r ITEM OVERVIEW: Review the parks dedication, trails dedication, tree preservation, water quality and wetlands issues that pertain to the Oak Hills Church development. .: BACKGROUND/HISTORY: Oak Hills Church is The applicant is requesting approval of a Rezoning of 0.94 acres from PF, Public Facilities to R-1, Single-family Residential, and a Preliminary Subdivision to create two lots upon 0.94 acres located at the southwest corner of the property at 1570 Yankee Doodle Road (east of Coachman Road), in the NW '/4 of Section 16. In 2005, Oak Hills Church proposed an amendment to the Comprehensive Guide Land Use Plan to create a LD, Low Density residential land use designation upon 0.94 acres in the southwest corner of the Oak Hills Church property to allow construction of two single-family homes. Implementation of the land use amendment has been withheld pending the subdivision and rezoning applications, which have now been submitted. The applicant also petitioned the City to vacate the drainage and utility easements in the southwest corner of the property to allow for this application and development of two residential lots to occur. A public hearing on the vacation was held on July 5, 2005, and action was taken to continue consideration of the vacation request to be concurrent with the final subdivision application for the property. Each lot is approximately 85 feet wide by 240 feet deep. The eastern portion of each residential lot extends into the existing pond. The gross areas of the proposed lots are 20,537 sq. ft. (Lot 1) and 20,445 sq. $. (Lot 2). PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION: This proposal would be subject to a cash park dedication and a cash trails dedication. TREE PRESERVATION: The application would require individual lot tree preservation plans to be submitted when Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 request a building permit. ~~~ WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS: This proposed 0.94-acre subdivision is located adjacent to City Pond CP-1, which is in the state public waters inventory (#19-0138V~. There are no proposed impacts to this wetland. Due to the size and nature of this residential subdivision, water quality ponding is not feasible. To meet the City's water quality requirements, therefore, a dedication of cash in lieu of ponding is appropriate for this development. ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: 1. This development shall be responsible for a cash park dedication. 2. This development shall be responsible for a cash trail dedication. 3. Individual Lot Tree Preservation Plan shall be submitted at the time of building permit application for Lots 1 and 2, Block 1. 4. A cash dedication in lieu of on-site water quality ponding should be required for this development. .

Tree Preservation Plan AGENDA ITEM: VI-C; WATERS ANNEX-CSM EQUITIES, LLC TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION ITEM OVERVIEW: Review the parks dedication, trails dedication, tree preservation, water quality and wetlands issues that pertain to the Waters Annex development. „ ... .r s3~;~a-r ~.~.~;r BACKGROUND/HISTORY: CSM is requesting approval of a Preliminary Planned Development for one office building and three office/warehouse buildings, and a Preliminary Subdivision to create four lots upon approximately 42.5 acres legally described as Lots 1 & 2, Block 1, Silicon Graphics 1St Addition, located east of Lone Oak Drive and Lone Oak Parkway in the SW'/4 of Section 1. CSM is proposing to subdivide the 42.5-acre site into four lots and construct three one-story office/warehouse buildings on the western portion of the site, and athree-story office building on the east central portion of the site. The office/warehouse buildings total 161,600 sq. ft. and the 3- storyoffice building is proposed to be 68,500 sq. ft. The property was platted in its current configuration as Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Silicon Graphics 1St Addition in 2001. Prior to that, the western portion of the property was platted as outlots in the Lone Oak Addition dating back to 1985, and the eastern portion was platted as outlots in Cray Addition in 1988, and Cray 2nd Addition in 1989. The property is currently zoned PD, Planned Development. In 2001, Silicon Graphics received Final Planned Development approval for afour-story 110,000 sq. ft. office building and a two- story 60,000 sq. ft. office building to be constructed ors existing Lot 2. To date the development has not occurred and the site remains vacant. In 2002, the City adopted a Special Area Plan within the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan that sets forth policies and specific land uses for development in this area. The subject site is designated for Office/Service uses and the policies specify office, office/showroom and research and development uses for the property. PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION: This proposal would be subject to a cash park dedication and cash trails dedication. /3 TREE PRESERVATION: A tree inventory submitted with this application indicates that there are five-hundred fifty-three (553) significant trees in the inventory. Individual tree size and species break down is as follows: Species Avg Diameter Dia. Range Count Percent of Total Oak 13" 6"-32" 290 52% Black cherry 8" 6"-12" 102 18% Cottonwood 14" 12"-27" 66 12% East. Red Cedar 25' ~ 15-45' 35 6% The balance of the tree inventory is comprised of a variety of deciduous trees, including species such as aspen, box elder, elm, willow, and ash trees averaging 12" in diameter. The development as proposed will result in the removal of eighty-nine (89) significant trees (16.1 of the total). According to the City of Eagan Tree Preservation Ordinance allowable tree removal for this type of development proposal (single-phase, multiple-lot, commercial) is set at 47.5% of the total significant trees. With a proposed removal less than the allowable amount, there is no required tree mitigation for this proposal. WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS: Water Quality This proposed 45.5-acre commercial development is in a relatively undeveloped portion of northeast Eagan. The developer is demonstrating efforts 1) to handle stormwater through a combination of traditional techniques and best management practices and 2) to avoid impacts to the three wetlands on the parcel. For stormwater, minimum requirements for volume and area of water quality treatment ponds are based on the impervious proportion of proposed developments (i.e., land covered by buildings, parking lots, driveways, etc.). The developer is not only proposing three traditional ponds to pre- treat runoff prior to the wetlands, but also reducing the runoff amount through disconnected rooftops, infiltration areas, filtration swales, and proof of parking areas. Wetlands For wetlands, a delineation report acceptable to the City in 2000-as part of a previous proposal that was cancelled-identifies three wetlands on this parcel. This developer must submit an updated delineation report to the City for its formal acceptance, Two wetlands, one in the lower central portion of the site and one along the east edge of the site, are Type 4 wetlands, under the standard classification system of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Type 4 wetlands are inland deep fresh marshes with soils that are usually covered with six inches to three feet or more of water during the growing season. Vegetation includes cattails, reeds, and bulrushes. In open areas, pondweeds, coontail, and water lilies may occur. The other wetland in the central portion of the site is a Type 2 wetland. Type 2 wetlands are inland fresh meadows vegetated primarily by reed canary grass, with some lake sedge and river bulrush. The developer is proposing no impacts to the wetlands by draining, filling, or excavating. /~. The wetland subcommittee of the Water Quality Task Force is developing wetland management standards as part of Eagan's comprehensive water quality management plan update process. These standards would be applied according to wetland classifications that are based on ecological assessments, proximity to the Eagan Core Greenway, and importance for flood storage or water quality protection. The wetland subcommittee has akeady preliminarily classified about 100 wetlands. According to these classifications, the following buffer standards would apply to the wetlands associated with this development. Water Resources staffbelieves it is entirely appropriate to apply these as specific conditions to the proposed planned development: Buffer width** Min Ave. Buffer protection Standards Structural Setback . Width** 30' or to upslope Stormwater treatment practices edge of 100 year 40 allowed within buffer; maintain at 25' from upslope high water level, least 15' of buffer between the edge of buffer whichever is eater practice .and the wetland. **Add 20% to buffer width requirements in areas where slopes are 6% or greater. ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: I. This development shall be responsible for a cash park dedication. 2. This development shall be responsible for a cash trail dedication. 3. The applicant shall be required to contact the City Forestry Division and set up a pre- construction site inspection at least five days prior to the issuance of the grading permit to - - - -ensure compliance with the approved Tree Preservation Plan and placement of the Tree - Protection Fencing, 4.' Approve updated wetland delineation report, pending its acceptability to water resources - -_ coordinator. 5. Approve handling of stormwater by constructing three treatment ponds and by reducing runoff through disconnected rooftops, infiltration areas, filtration swales, and proof of parking areas. 6. Apply wetland buffer protections according to preliminary standards of the Water Quality Task Force. /5. Y L .i ..~ V ~~ x O b~ r N l ~f Ni2y ~~ 1 A, \'... li r~ l n ',7`, ~-- ) K I~a Cbr.

Policy AGENDA ITEM: IX-REQUEST TO PLACE ART IN PUBLIC SPACE TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION ITEM OVERVIEW: Review the proposal received by the Eagan Art House to place art in public spaces and open up the public comment period. BACKGROUND/HISTORY: The Advisory Commission recently spent a great deal of time both in subcommittee and with the full commission developing a policy in which public art could be accepted and placed in public spaces. The policy was subsequently reviewed and approved by the City Council for implementation. A full copy of the policy is included within the packet for your review -and assistance, however portions of the policy are below: Statement ofPurnose The purpose of this policy is to encourage the display of public art in the City of Eagan and to provide a mechanism for the inclusion of public art and memorial structures throughout the city s parks and open spaces. Public art can play a vital role in transforming the community into a destination, a distinct place within the metropolitan area. Public art can also acknowledge and celebrate the City s history through commemorative art, memorials, and interpretive projects. While public art and memorials may enrich a park experience for park users, public open space is also a very precious commodity. New structures should be carefully reviewed to balance these two public benefits. Process for Selection Artwork and memorial structures may be acquired through donation, open competition, invitational competition or direct selection. The process for evaluating proposals is as follows: 1. Proposals for placement of artwork or memorial structures must be made in writing to the Director of Parks & Recreation. 2. Public comment period announced at APrC meeting. 3. Evaluation by the APrC with a recommendation based upon the public benefit of the action made to the City Council. 4. Action by the City Council ~~ A ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: • Open up the public comment period and invite review and comments on the proposal by the Eagan Art House to place art in public spaces. The comment period shall be for a period of days (minimum of 30). ~~ Item: ~ ~ ~~' c.~tn I ~.bl i c. -~ Pa ~ ~ ~ ~~~~'~ Attachment:, pro pd3n l h ~1 ,k EAC~AI~I AKT I~iOUSE Apri15, 2006 3981 Lexington Avenue South .Eagan, MN 55123 651-686-9134 www.eaganarthouse.org Juli Johnson Director of Parks & Recreation City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 Dear Juli, Enclosed is our proposal for public sculpture. As you are aware, this project is already is progress. The workshops are schedule for April and May. We are beginning to collect materials and supplies for both the outdoor sign and the sculpture. ~We will work primarily on the sign until we hear from you about the sculpture. I ve also attached a flyer inviting people to attend the workshops. I will be out of town from Apri16 to April 14. If you have any questions, please a-mail me at iagandersen(c~hotmail.com. I will be checking a-mail occasionally. If there is anything urgent, you can call Bette iJndis at 651-452-5094. Thank you for your consideration of this proposal. Sincerely, ie Andersen Public Art Proposal Eagan Art House Apri16, 2006 The Eagan Art House is pleased to present a proposal for public sculpture to the City of Eagan. In October of 2005, the Eagan Art House received a grant from Dakota County Community POWER to build an outdoor sign and sculpture. The purpose of the Community POWER grant is to educate • our community on the value of waste reduction and wise use of our resources. We will be incorporating this message into the sculpture project by using recycled, found and re-used materials. The project (currently in progress) includes a series of four hands-on workshops to build the sculpture and sign at the Eagan Art House. All workshops are taught by Eagan Art House staff and are free to all participants. The Eagan Art House believes that this sculpture will reflect the history of the community while communicating the creative nature of our mission. The project is designed to be part attraction, part history and part environmental. Workshop participants will gather items to be included in the project. Instructor, Mel Benkert will guide participants to build the sculpture. She will provide tools needed for the project. The workshop dates are scheduled to take place on April 22, May 6, May 13, and May 20 at the Eagan Art House. We anticipate the project to be complete by June 1, 2006. The Eagan Art House is a 501(c)3 organization committed to offering affordable visual art instruction for children and adults in Eagan and the surrounding communities. We provide instruction by working artists in a small group and supportive environment, welcoming students of all ages and skill levels regardless of age, special needs, income, and ethnic background. We also enjoy and greatly appreciate the valuable relationship we have with the city of Eagan. We are housed in a building owned and cooperatively maintained by the city. We pay a small rent and also enjoy benefits of inclusion in the Discover Parks and Recreation catalog. Our registrations are also processed through the Parks and Recreation Department. We are thrilled to add to this relationship by providing a sculpture that will enhance Patrick Eagan Park while inviting the community to enjoy this public art. Required Proposal Information: 1. Drawing is attached. 2. Appraised value. Since the structure is constructed of re-used materials, we estimate the value to be $2,500. 3. Description of materials. PRIMARY recycled/used steel recycled/used iron recycledlused aluminum SECONDARY recylcled/used miscellaneous objects recycled farm/shop implements & tools, used rope used cable used vehicle parts Materials needed to secure sculpture in park: cement,. steel 4. Dimensions of structure. Approximate length: 8-10 feet Approximate width: 8-10 feet Approximate height: 30 feet Base: 10 feet2 5. Description. Part attraction, part art, part history, and part environmental, the thirty (30) foot tall windmill sculpture will be a noticeable contribution to the grounds of the Eagan Art House off of Lexington Avenue South in Eagan, Minnesota. With the help of the community of artists and art supporters, the primarily metal sculpture will be fabricated from found recycled parts and re- used objects and then erected on the eastern grounds of the property. The sculpture is part attraction to invite the community to the Eagan Art House. The sculpture is part art to provoke thought and question among the public that passes by the large-scale art piece. The sculpture is part history to represent the people that once used this land to farm. The sculpture is part environmental to bring awareness to the urgent need for sustainable living through renewable energy and natural resources. There is also a plan to plant native plants and grasses as the base of the sculpture to remind the viewers of wheat and other crops that might have been cultivated at this site. The plants will be perennial, requiring minimum on-going maintenance. The sculpture is yet un-named. This will be part of the process of the community members involved in building the project. We will include interpretive signage on the sculpture to include information about Dakota County Community POWER, the process of the project and the goal of educating the community about environmental awareness. Information about the sculpture project will be available to Eagan Art House students and supporters. We also plan to provide a pictorial history of the project and an invitation to view the sculpture at Eagan Art House events including the Eagan Art Festival in June. 6. The sculpture is designed to reflect the history of the land where the Eagan Art House now resides. There is a rich history of farming in our community and we hope that the windmill design will reflect that. Patrick Eagan Palk also reflects the city's commitment to maintaining natural environments in Eagan. By using found and recycled objects to build the sculpture, we hope to echo the city's commitment to environmental well-being. The process of the project also reflects the city's strength in community involvement by inviting the community to take part in the hands-on construction of the structure. 7. The. sculpture will be constructed primarily of steel and metal. There will be a natural rusting that will take place, but will serve to enhance the aesthetics of the structure. There will be need to occasionally clean and check the structure's integrity. This should take place annually. Eagan Art House staff and volunteers will assist in this process as well as the maintenance of the plants and grasses at the base. 8. This sculpture will be absolutely unique as it will be created from found objects. Although there is a general design, the specific outcome of the structure will depend on the materials and creativity provided by the community participants. The artist/designer is Mel Benkert, an Eagan Art House instructor and professional sculpture artist, working primarily on large scale pieces. The project will reflect some of the artist's sculptural work on the demise of the family farm. The Eagan Art House looks forward to providing one of Eagan's first public sculptures.

Po ~; ~ Public Art and Memorial Installations in City of Eagan Parks Statement of Purpose The purpose of this policy is to encourage the display of public art in the City of Eagan and to provide a mechanism for the inclusion of public art and memorial structures throughout the city's parks and open spaces. Public art can play a vital role in transforming the community into a destination, a distinct place within the metropolitan area. Public art can also acknowledge and celebrate the City's history through commemorative art, memorials, and interpretive projects. While public art and memorials may enrich a park experience for park users, public open space is also a very precious commodity. New structures should be carefully reviewed to balance these two public benefits. Process for Selection Artwork and memorial structures may be acquired through donation, open competition, invitational competition or direct selection. The process for evaluating proposals is as follows: 1. Proposals for placement of artwork or memorial structures must be made in writing to the Director of Parks & Recreation. 2. Public comment period announced at APrC meeting. 3. Evaluation by the APrC with a recommendation based upon the public benefit of the action made to the City Council. 4. Action by the City Council. Conflicts of Interest Any member of the APrC with a connection or interest in one of the artists or pieces of art must disclose this conflict of interest. Public Review and Comment Period Each proposal will be announced to the public at an APrC regular meeting and then made available for public review and comment at Eagan City Hall for a minimum of 30 days before action is taken by the APrC. Required Proposal Information The written proposal must include: 1. A photo or drawing of the structure. 2. Appraised value of the structure. 3. Description of materials used to create structure including materials needed to display/secure the structure in the park. 4. Dimensions of structure including appropriate base materials needed at the park site. 5. Description, including materials, dimensions, wording and location, of interpretive signage for the structure. 6. Statement regarding relationship to proposed site including aesthetic, cultural, or historic ties. 7. Statement of probable lifespan of structure and annual maintenance needed to maintain structure integrity. 8. Statement as to whether the work is unique or duplicates other work by the same artist. 9. Statement regarding the significance of the person or event to be memorialized in relationship to the community and to the proposed site. (Memorial proposals only) Public Art and Memorial Guidelines All art and memorial structures must comply with applicable statues such as the Uniform Municipal Contracting Law, environmental laws, and disability/accessibility laws. In addition, all art and memorial structures must meet the following guidelines before being considered for placement in a City- owned park or open space: 1. Absolute ownership and control of the art or memorial structure must pass to the City, including all drawings, proposals, sketches, and other conceptualizations of the art or memorial. All intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights and moral rights, must be assigned to the City. The applicant artist or donor shall waive all intellectual property rights, including moral rights, to the art or memorial structure. 2. Donations will not be accepted where a condition of donations requires permanent exhibition. 3. In ..the judgment of the majority of the APrC and the City Council, the structure must be appropriate for display to the general public. 4.. Cost of on-going maintenance and repair anticipated throughout the lifespan of the structure must fall within normal park maintenance budget allocations. 5. Donations that require the City to pay installation, framing, restoration, or repair are not encouraged. 6. Artist or provider may request a specific site. However, each placement will be evaluated based upon suitability of the structure for the site. The APrC will make a recommendation to the Council concerning an appropriate site for each structure. 7. If proposal accepted by the City is a concept or design then the final product must match the approved concept or design. 8. The person to be memorialized shall have been deceased for a minimum of five years. (Memorials only.) Criteria for Review The APrC will make a recommendation based upon the following criteria: 1. The proposed structure should be compared with the artists' best work and the best works in the City collection. The acquisition should strengthen, rather than dilute the City's collection. 2. If the structure is to be erected outdoors, the physical condition of the structure should be considered in terms of durability in an outdoor setting. Any requirements for immediate or future conservation should be noted. 3. The structure must add interest and meaning to the environment in which it is placed. It must be compatible in scale, material, form and content with its surrounding and form an overall relationship with the site. Structure must conform to any existing Master Plan for the site. 4. The structure must have social, cultural, historical and physical context to the site, both existing and planned. 5. The City's overall collection shall strive for diversity in style, scale, media, and artists. There shall be encouragement of exploratory types of work as well as established art forms. 6. In addition to the criteria for a piece of art, memorials will be judged on the significance of the person or event being memorialized in relation to local social, cultural or historical context and must represent broad community values. 7. Structures whose messages are exclusively religious in nature will not be accepted. 8. Structures whose messages are exclusively political in nature will only be considered if the political. message is of a historical context Removal of Public Art and Memorials The City shall .remove and dispose of works of art and memorials in its collection when it finds such action to be in the public interest based upon the following: 1. As a means of improving the quality of the City's collection a. The structure has no relevance to the collection or serves no exhibition function. b. The structure has a duplicate in the collection. ~c. The structure no longer meets the current standards for public art and memorials. 2. Due to concerns for public safety when a structure becomes a hazard or a public liability. 3. The structure is in a seriously deteriorated condition. 4. Removal should not be based on current fashion or taste. Attention should be paid to maintaining a collection which forms a continuum of the City's visual art history. Recommendations for removal shall be made to the APrC who will then make a recommendation based upon the public benefit of the action to the City Council for final approval. Each request for removal will be announced to the public at an APrC regular meeting and then made available for public review and comment at Eagan City Hall for a minimum of 30 days before action is taken by the APrC. Once approval for removal is granted, the structure shall be disposed of in accordance with Minnesota Statues Chapter 471. Advisory Parks Commission March 20, 2006 Subject to approval ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION EAGAN, MINNESOTA MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 20, 2006 A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks Commission was called to order at 7:30 p.m. on February 16, 2006 with the following Commission Members present: Joseph Bari, Phil Belfiori, Margo Danner, Terry Davis, N. Mark Filipi, Duane Hansen, Muhammed Lodhi, Dorothy Peterson and Ryan Zipf. Member Richard Pletcher was not present. Staff included Superintendent of Operations, Cherryl Mesko; Forestry Supervisory Gregg Hove and Recording Secretary Lori Kimball. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Superintendent Mesko recommended that the request to pursue an RFP for a Master Plan for Patrick Eagan Park be added to New Business. Member Peterson moved, Member Filipi seconded, with all present members voting in favor to approve the agenda as amended. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 16,.2006 Member Filipi moved and Member Danner seconded, with all present members voting in favor to approve the minutes of February 16, 2006. VISITORS TO BE HEARD Tom Garrison, Director of Communications, provided a demonstration of the new webcasting capabilities that are now available to view all commission and council meetings. Garrison stated that Eagan is the first city in Minnesota to be connected to this service and explained that people may view meetings live or they may choose to view tapes from previous months. Garrison demonstrated how a viewer may "jump to" a specific point of a meeting without having to watch the entire meeting. He opined that the ease of webcasting might help citizens become more connected to City government, since approximately 40% of the population currently does not watch government meetings. Garrison responded to questions by Chair Davis and Member Danner regarding their experience with dial-up Internet access. Garrison asked for feedback from viewers regarding their experience with the webcasting. DIRECTOR'S DEPARTMENT UPDATE In Director Johnson's absence, Superintendent Mesko provided a brief overview of department activities for the past month. CONSENT AGENDA Oldre Addition-Hafstad Realty Member Filipi moved and Member Bari seconded, with all present members voting in favor to recommend to the City Council the following: 1. This development shall be responsible for a cash park dedication 2. This development shall be responsible for a cash trail dedication. Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of Regular Meeting of March 20, 2006 Page 2 3. This development shall be responsible for a cash dedication in lieu of on-site water quality ponding. 4. Individual Lot Tree Preservation Plan shall be submitted at the time of building permit application for Lot 1. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS Natures Point -Epic Development Superintendent Mesko provided a brief background on this item stating that Epic Development requests the approval of the following pertaining to property located west of I-35E on Taconite Trail. • Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to change the land use designation upon 4.34 acres from QP to LD residential; • Rezoning of .58 acrew from Agricultural to Public Facilities, 4.34 acres from Agricultural to Residential Double and 7.62 acres from Residential Single to Residential Double. • Preliminary subdivision of 12.8 acres to create 301ots for construction of 28 twin homes and • Conditional use permit to allow a cell tower in the Public Facilities zoning district and a Variance of 290 feet to the required 300 foot setback for a tower from a residential zoning district. It was noted that in August 2004 the applicant submitted an incomplete application for a similar development on this site. A petition was submitted with 57 signatures in opposition of the project based in part on removal of significant trees. In March 2005 the applicant submitted an application for a Planned Development consisting of 341ots. The application was withdrawn after the public hearing at the Advisory Planning Commission. Forestry Supervisor Hove discussed tree preservation and showed an aerial picture, stating that no tree mitigation is required since tree removal is less than the allowable amount. A tree inventory shows 315 significant trees in the inventory of which 147 will be removed. The applicant intends to preserve trees through transplanting 22 trees. Supervisor Hove recommended that if these trees are successfully planted, a one year maintenance agreement should be provided by the applicant or tree spade contractor. Hove stated that there is the possibility to preserve additional trees, especially larger oak trees, without major development revisions. It was recommended that a walk through of the site occur with the applicant, an engineer and a certified arborist, to explore the possibility of preserving 10 more trees. The developer proposed to meet water quality requirements primarily by constructing two stormwater ponds that will pre-treat most of the runoff from the site before it enters existing wetlands and then the City's stormwater drainage system. To address runoff from the development directly to wetlands from a small portion of the site, a water quality cash dedication should be required in lieu of treatment ponding. It was noted that according to the wetland delineation report that there are two jurisdictional wetlands associated with this site. Water Resources staff confirms the delineations as reported.
