Approximately 2001acrosse enthusiasts attended. • Under a recently approved cooperative agreement with the school and with financial assistance from EAA, staff recently completed the renovation of the fields at Faithful Shepard School. The fields aze available for community use and scheduling evenings and weekends during the school yeaz, days and evenings during the summer. • SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • The "Do the Pazks" campaign will be launching a Passport program for this summer. The passport will feature one park and one program from each city in Dakota County with a page to write their memory of the visit to the park or program. Quote from the "Do the Pazks" campaign. "Escape the madness. Disconnect from computers, phones, hectic schedules and reconnect with nature in the nearly 400 parks available in Dakota County!" • The Civic Arena was host to the Midwest Regional Karate Tournament on Apri121 and 22. There were over 2500 people in attendance over that two-day period. • The Blast field trip calendar is filling up! There are two groups that have scheduled multiple days bringing sizable groups each time. • Cascade Bay is moving closer to the addition of a miniature golf course in time for summer use. The nine-hole golf course is expected to be ready for some challenging play by the July 4 holiday and will continue to stay open into the fall after the water park closes. FOSTER HUMAN DEVELOPMENT • The first SORR GPS Amazing Family Race was held in late April. Thirty-seven teams, totaling more than 140 participants traveled to 8 checkpoints in Eagan, Apple Valley, Rosemount and Lakeville.

The Tree Inspector position was created to address issues of disease, primarily Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm. Questions pertaining to home landscapes will continue to be referred to the Forestry section of the City web-site from which there are many links. • Mowing of pazks and boulevazds is well underway with staff working sunrise to sunset in an effort to keep up.

Yard work, painting and house cleaning were completed by approximately 40 volunteers. 3 • Beginning May 15, the area used for soccer fields at Lexington Diffley Fields will be "rested" for the summer. The fields normally located there will be shifted to Thresher Fields, while the smaller fields normally at Thresher will be moved to one of two Blue Cross sites. During the "rest period" the field will be aerated, top dressed and reseeded. Resting is critical to retaining good turf and will continue to be done on a rotating basis. • PROMOTE HEALTH & WELLNESS • May will be a very healthy month in Eagan.

Location Map 2. Preliminary Plat 3. Prelim Tree Preservation Plan 4. Prelim Site, Grading, Drainage 8t Erosion Control Plan AGENDA ITEM: VIII-A; THE HERITAGE OF HIGHVIEW -GLORIA FRITZ 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 Heritage of Highview development. BACKGROUND/HISTORY: , Gloria Fritz is requesting approval of a Preliminary Subdivision of 1.7 acres to create four single- family lots at 1420 Highview Avenue located on the south side of Highview Avenue just west of Pilot Knob Road in the SE'/a of Section 4. The property consists of two platted parcels. An existing home is present on one parcel and the second parcel is vacant save for a detached garage that straddles the common property line. The total site is 1.7 acres in size and contains an existing single-family home constructed in 1964 on the western parcel. The site has a variation in topography that will allow the southern two lots to accommodate a walkout and a lookout design. The proposed subdivision creates four lots to allow for the construction of four new single-family homes; the existing structures will be removed. The subdivision will create four lots that exceed the 12,000 SF minimum R-1 lot size and 85' lot width requirements; the proposed lots range in size from 14,052 SF to 15,154 SF and a density of 2./3 units per acre. PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION: This development would be subject to a cash pazks dedication for the newly created lots. Trails The proposed development is located on the north side of Highview Park. The park services an area bounded by Lone Oak Road to the south, Pilot Knob Road to the east, 494 to the north, and Hwy 13 to the west. Currently, the only dedicated access to the park is from the south off of Highview Drive. Generally, when properties adjoining pazks are developed, the opportunity to provide additional access is reviewed. ~~ As properties to the north develop and/or redevelop, it would be advantageous to have an access on the north side of Highview Pazk. This would negate the need for pazk users to circle the pazk to gain access. A recommendation should be considered that would require the developer to provide a 20' wide easement between lots 2 and 3 and construct an 8' wide bituminous trail, in accordance with City specifications, within the easement. Due to the existing topography, the trail will have an average down slope into the park of approximately 12% (1.2'over 10'). While the slope on this specific trail section will exceed the ADA requirements, the existing primary access to the pazk from the south is compliant, thereby fulfilling the ADA accessibility requirement for park access. When recommending that a developer provide a trail section for a park purpose, it is common that credit be given for the cost of construction. For 2006 projects, the City Engineering Division calculated credit of $15 per lineal foot of 8'wide bituminous trail would be applied. Because the estimated value of the credit may exceed the calculated trail dedication a small credit could be applied toward the pazk dedication. The following amounts aze estimates only and would be calculated at the time of fmal plat approval through the development contract. Estimated Trail Dedication = Estimated Park Dedication = Estimated Total dedication = Trail Construction Credit = Balance Dedication Due = $ 714 9834 10,548 1 350 (90'x $15 = $1,350) $ 9,198 TREE PRESERVATION: A tree inventory submitted with this application indicates that there are forty-four (44) significant trees in the inventory. Individual tree size and species break down is as follows: Species Avg Diameter Dia. Range Count Percent of Total Conifers 15' (hgt) 10'-20' (hgt) 33 76% (Pine, Spruce, Cedar) Green Ash 14" 10"-16" 6 15% Birch 10" 8"-12"" 2 5% Boxelder 16" 13"-20' 2 5% Maple 10" 10" 1 2% The development as proposed will result in the removal of sixteen (16) significant trees (36.4 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, residential) is set at 40% 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: This 1.7-acre proposed subdivision is located in the "H" Watershed that drains west to the Minnesota River. 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. There aze no wetlands directly associated with this pazcel. l' ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: 1. This development shall be responsible for a cash pazks dedication. 2. This development shall provide a twenty foot (20') wide easement for trail purposes between lots 2 and 3. Within the easement the developer shall construct an eight (8') foot wide pedestrian trail in accordance with city specifications. Said trail is to be constructed prior to the issuance of a building permit for lots 2 or 3. 3. The developer shall receive a credit of fifteen dollazs($15) per lineal foot of the trail. Said credit is to be applied first to the trail dedication amount due for the development. Any credit remaining shall be applied to the park dedication due. 4. A revised Tree Preservation Plan shall be required to be submitted that shows the placement of required Tree Protective measures (i.e. orange colored silt fence or 4 foot polyethylene laminate safety netting) installed at the Drip Line or at the perimeter of the Critical Root Zone, whichever is greater, of significant trees/woodlands to be preserved on-site. 5. The applicant shall contact the City Forestry Division and set up apre-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. 6. This development shall be responsible for a cash dedication in lieu of on-site water quality ponding.
