ITEM-XIIL• Adjournment 2 JULY 2006 DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY • The 4th of July festival was. held on the ECC festival grounds July 3-4, including the carnival and fireworks display. • Eagan Seniors hosted a bingo tent at the July 4 Fun Fest and attracted more than 1700 players throughout the afternoon. Special thanks also goes to the Eagan Foundation for their support as a fiscal agent for this event. • The puppet wagon appeared in the parade again this year. Almost 500 people have been out to see puppet shows so far this summer. • Signif cant vandalism has occurred at Kettle Park. Eight large trees were girdled and will probably die, the backstop mesh was cut from the frame and a flammable liquid burned on the basketball court. Only a week prior, the existing playground (which is being replaced) was cut down with a pipe cutter. Installation of the new structure has subsequently been postponed pending the installation of additional security lighting. The Police have been conducting a very aggressive investigation and the neighborhood has also been alerted to the situation. • What do mowing crews do when there is so much less grass to mow ?They start trimming boulevard signs and poles and removing rink boards scheduled for replacement. • The grand opening to Captains Coarse was held on July 6. Cascade Bay and Captain's Course was open free to the community from 5-10 p.m. and over 1,000 excited guests enjoyed the evening in the park. - •__-_FOSTER-HUMAN DEVELOPMENT _------ _____-- .__ -- _- - ___ - _----_-_.-__ -. -____ • The ECC was host to this year's Miss Eagan Pageant with an increased number of participants from last year. • Summer preschool is well underway, with 422 children registered. Camps will begin July 31 and some space still remains. Music Camp, Kindergarten Warm up Camp, Safety Camp, and Little Sporties Camp will all be held at the Community Center. • Summer in the Park, T-Ball, and Eaganettes programs are averaging about 562 participants each week. • Summer camps will begin the week of July 24 and run through the week of August 14. A wide variety of offerings include camps that focus on sports, crafts, reading, safety, the outdoors, and cooking. • SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • In July, there will be 12 weddings at the ECC. The weekend of July 14-16, there will be four separate weddings. • A large national tool company will be holding a two day sale in the ECC gym July 25-26. • Attendance at Cascade Bay has been excellent since June 29, reaching capacity many days. • Eagan will be hosting the Men's D Region IV Recreational and Women's Open at Northview Athletic Fields on August 4-6, 2006. • PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCES • The effects of the drought conditions are now becoming very noticeable. Small trees throughout the park system are showing signs of wilt. Some will not actually be dead but instead will turn color, drop their leaves and go dormant until next year. Staff is trying to keep up with watering of the newest stock. Some turf areas may have to be reseeded. • The pickup of Buckthorn from private property is on summer hiatus. The popular program will begin again in September when residents can more readily get into the woods. • The odd/even watering restrictions are in place on year round basis, exceptions being for new sod or seed. Because of the size of the systems and use of the turf, most park irrigation runs overnight, beginning one day and ending on another. Several sites have multiple addresses. This gives the impression of constant watering. The reality is the same turf is not watered on consecutive days except in the case of reseeding or renovation. • City crews are focusing on the removal of diseased trees from park areas. • PROMOTE HEALTH & WELLNESS • Work has begun on the installation of the new play structure at Meadowlands Park • The Northview tennis courts will be closed until July 24`~ to allow for resurfacing. • With summer softball winding down the next 3 weeks, fall softball registration has begun with new team registration ending on July 14. There are also 22 teams registered for post- season play. • Summer tennis programs are half completed for the 2006 summer season. Thus far there have been approximately 400 participants in the Eagan tennis program. The program typically averages 650 - 700 participants throughout the summer. KUDOS TO STAFF: • To all the staff from Cascade Bay, Forestry and Parks who contributed. time and effort to the installation of the Captains Course...it looks great ! • Best wishes to Sandy Breuer, manager of the ECC who has accepted the position of Parks and Recreation Director"for the City of New Brighton -- _-- _ _-- • To all Department staff who have toiled outside despite the heat to maintain the quality of leagues, programs and parks. 4 City ~~ ~~~~Il MEMO AGENDA ITEM: VI-A; WALGREEN'S-ANXON, INC. TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION Date: July 14, 2006 Agenda Item: VI.-A; Walgreens-Anxon, Inc. Action X Information Attachments X 1. Location Map 2. Existing Conditions 3. Preliminary Plat 4. Site Plan 5. Grading Plan 6. Erosion Control Plan 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 Walgreen's/Treasure's Island development. h ~ . .~ BACKGROUND/HISTORY: Anion, Inc., on behalf of Walgreen's, is requesting approval of a Preliminary Subdivision of 4.8 acres to create two lots upon property located at 1274 Town Centre Drive and 3420 Denmark Avenue. - ~ - --- - Walgreen sproposes to redevelop the fo~rlrrer Treasure's Island site-at~~wn Centre~Drlv~an ----- - Denmark Avenue by constructing a new 14,409 sq. ft. building, including drive-through service. The subdivision is necessary to adjust the lot lines between the two parcels to accommodate the drive-through lanes for the pharmacy. The property was platted in 1988 as Town Centre 100 6th Addition. The Treasure's Island building and the adjacent retail center were constructed that same year. The property is zoned PD, Planned Development. Cash parks and trails dedications were paid with the initial building permits. Because the initial development predated the City's Water Quality Management Plan (1990), water quality has not been met for this site. The subject site is currently two platted parcels and each parcel .contains a retail building. Parking is shared between the two lots, as well as with the retail building east of the former Treasure's Island. The site has mature landscaping that was installed previously. The existing green space on the property is 9.56%; with the redevelopment, green space will be reduced to 9.5% of the site. PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION: Both parks and trails dedication have previously been met for this development TREE PRESERVATION: There are no tree preservation issues pertaining to this development. ~~ WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS: Water quality requirements were nonexistent when the original plat, Town Centre 100 6th Addition, was established in 1988. This proposed replatting, however, is subject to current city water quality requirements. Typically, such requirements include either construction of onsite stormwater pond(s) to treat runoffand/or payment of cash in lieu of ponding. It appears unreasonable to require stormwater pond(s) to be constructed for this redevelopment of an existing commercial site. However, there is good reason to consider seriously how the existing imperviousness (i.e., stormwater runoff impact) of this site can be reduced. The site is central to the Town Centre commercial district, and thus there is an opportunity to underscore "low impact" development in a significantly visible location in the City. The benefits to the area would be increased green space and reduced stormwater runoff impacts. Subject to review by City Planning to verify parking needs of this commercial area of the City and by City Engineering to analyze stormwater storage and runoff issues, the developer should be required to implement low-impact development techniques on the large parking area. Such techniques may include pervious pavement, infiltration basins, landscape plantings, etc. These low impact approaches collectively should be equivalent to the amount of stormwater storage and quality of stormwater treatment expected by traditional stormwater (NURP) ponds. Provided low- impact development techniques are not feasible and practical, a cash payment in lieu of the necessary stormwater treatment pond volume should be required. ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: 1. Based on City staff review and recommendations, the developer shall be required to implement _ low impact development techniques on the large~arking area that may include_pervious pavement, infiltration basins, landscape plantings, etc equivalent to the amount of stormwater storage and quality of stormwater treatment expected by traditional stormwater (NURP) ponds. 2. If low impact development techniques are not feasible and practical, a cash payment in lieu of the necessary stormwater treatment pond volume shall be required. ~~ l._ .~, C] ^ L~ I 1 bb~-~ . f A ti~ ti ti Q O ® ep ' ~ P 14141 <h~i /~it~i al I~'~-a / a l Za ^ u i ~/ .. r--..~., 1000 0 1000 2000 Feet Development/Developer: Anxon, Inc.

A 2007-2011 CIP Action X Information Attachments x 1. CIP Summary 2. Location Map AGENDA ITEM: IX-A; 2007 -2011 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMIS5ION PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION ITEM OVERVIEW: Review and consider for approval, the proposed 2007-2011 Parksand Recreation Department Capital Improvement Plan BACKGROUND/HISTORY: One of the primary responsibilities of the APrC is the annual preparation and updating of the Departmental Capital Improvement Plan. The CIP serves as a blueprint and planning guide for .park projects. Projects included in the CIP must be either a park development or improvement project. Projects construed as being maintenance aze not eligible. Funding for the CIP comes from the Pazk Site Fund (PSF), which is primarily money collected from developments at the time of platting in lieu of a dedication of land. ANALYSIS: - - Historically-the~i'rC-has-submitted-to-the-City-C-ouncii-a CII'Jthat consists-ofthe-current-or ---- "active" year ,generally the year at hand, and projections that encompass a total of five years. During the review process, the active/current year of the CIP is finalized and a new "fifth" yeaz is added. To allow sufficient time for implementation, the current year of the CIP is generally considered to be final while all other years are subject to change as part of future reviews. The structure of the CIP has generally been driven by the projected ongoing balance of the PSF. To provide a better view of the future, recent versions of the CIP have opened the "window" further by including all potential projects though; they may not be funded for years to come. There has also been considerable discussion regazding the identification of alternative funding sources for the CIP. DISCUSSION/ EVALUATION: A number of projects in the proposed 2007 CIP represent the continuation of ongoing programs and initiatives specific to replacement and upgrade. Examples include the replacement of aged playgrounds, skating rinks and tennis courts. As defined in the 20/20 Plan, these are considered "fiduciary" responsibilities. Other improvement projects such as those at Patrick Eagan Park and Holz Farm aze tied to the implementation of Master Plans. The CIP also includes two line item allocations that are renewed on an annual basis as needed. These are the land acquisition "opportunity" fund which would be used to help acquire priority open space should it become available and the "small projects" fund which is used to complete smaller, unanticipated, capital projects or to help leverage additional financial assistance from an association or alternative funding source.. 8 New to the CIP process are "Inclusion Criteria". These criteria were developed recently by the Acquisition/Development sub-committee as a means of categorizing projects and funding, and better defining eligibility for consideration. The criteria have been included on the attached CIP summary. Inclusion Criteria; • PA; Replacement of park amenities based on the Parks Renewal/Replacement Schedule • MP; Progressive phases of the implementation of approved master plans • AP; Set aside funds for the potential acquisition of property • SP; Set aside funds for small projects and partnership opportunities • ND; New development to existing facilities • UG; Projects requested by specific user groups on City property 2007 Project Summary • Patrick Eagan Park; Phase 1 of the implementation of the new Master Plan, primary focus most likely to be trail improvement, erosion mitigation and signage. • Playground Replacements (3);Continuation of the ongoing rotational replacement program. Candidate sites include Skyhill, Captain Dodd and Bridle Ridge Parks. • Holz Farm; Continuation of the ongoing implementation of the Master Plan • Thresher Fields; Construction of a restroom/storage building and pavilion adjacent to the athletic fields. • Oak Chase Park; Continuation of the ongoing rotational upgrade of existing tennis courts in neighborhood parks. • Rink Upgrades;. Continuation of the ongoing rotational replacement and at skating sites. rade of rinks signage System Upgrade; First phase of the installation of new entrance signage, beginning with neighborhood parks. Small Projects; Funding for opportunities and need Acquisition; Funding for acquisition opportunities A workshop with the City Council is currently scheduled for August 29th at which the APrC will present the 2007-2011 CIP to the Council for their consideration and possible approval. The focus being on 2007. SUBCOMMITTEE DISCUSSION/RECOMMENDATION: The Acquisition/Development sub-committee reviewed the proposed 2007-2011 CIP in a workshop held on July 6th. The attached CIP outline represents the consensus and recommendation of the sub-committee. ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: 1.

B Dedication Rates Action x Information Attachments x 2007 Summary AGENDA ITEM: IX-B; 2007 PARKS AND TRAIL DEDICATION FEES TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION ITEM OVERVIEW: Recommend to the City Council the park and trail dedication fees for 2007 BACKGROUND/HISTORY: When reviewing development proposals, the'APrC makes a recommendation regarding the method of satisfying park and trail dedication requirements, the two options being a land ----- -dedication -or-cash payment:-Caslrpark-dedications-are the-primary source-of revenue-forfihe Park----- Site Fund. Trail dedication is allocated to the City trail fund. Each year it is the responsibility of the APrC to review dedication rates and make a recommendation to the Council for the upcoming year DISCUSSION/EVALUATION: The City has a well established formula for determining land values which are. the basis for calculating dedication rates. In 2005, staff completed an update of the value base to ensure consistency with the assessed valuations. Nearly 1000 properties were reviewed, the resulting averages leading to a significant rate increase in nearly every zoning classification for 2006 and improved adherence to actual values. For 2007, staff contacted the County Assessors office to determine the value adjustment the County would use for 2006 taxes payable in 2007 and applied it to the new value base (est ave of 5%). This method being intended to avoid lag in rates and to ensure a justifiable basis for the fees consistent with recent legislation specific to park dedication. An APrC subcommittee reviewed the process at a workshop on February 17a' and recommended proceeding. The full APrC reviewed the 2007 proposal at a workshop on June 19 and agreed in concept to the 2007 proposal as presented. A copy of the detail evaluation is attached.

They travel around in a trailer, performing to crowds who dance and shout out responses to their questions as music blares from the speakers. It's just that most rock stars aren't made of felt, cloth and yarn and jam to "Itsy Bitsy Spider." Meet the stars of the Eagan Puppet Wagon. While summer workers like Amber Geske, Andrew Johnson and Emily Thorkildson work behind the scenes, puppets like "Annie" and "Fred" steal the show out front. "It's fun to make the kids' day," said Thorkildson. "It's great to interact with them and see them having such a good time." " --The Puppef Wagon used fo do performances only once a week on Fridays in the summer, but that changed this year. Now the wagon tours around Eagan, visiting 10 parks every two weeks. The stars of the show take the stage that drops down from the side of the trailer at 10 a.m. each weekday, followed by a craft activity for the children in the crowd. "It's fun to see how much people enjoy it," Geske said. "Going around the community like this, it really builds a sense of community and it feels great to be a part of that." The wagon has been on the new schedule for about a month, said Holly Champlin of the Eagan Parks and Recreation Department. "People are getting into it," Champlin said. "For the neighborhoods that we used to visit once a week, we now need to get them used to the new schedule. But even with that, the crowds have been good so far." On this particular Thursday morning June 29, the wagon had aready-made audience in the participants in the city's "Summer in the Parks" program. The children sat in the open field at Holz Farm Park under sunny skies and watched as the story of Dog, who is, of course, a dog who is learning to be a detective by reading books at Wescott Library. Dog helps the librarian discover the culprit eating books at the library, but not without help from the audience. After Dog put out some of his favorite books, including "Hop on Pop," "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" and "The Cat in the Hat," he repeatedly fell asleep just in time for the monster to sneak up and eat a book. ~D ! http://www.mnsun.com/articles/2006/07/12/news/ea06puppetwagon.prt 7/12/2006 Gail Redeker (center) of Inver Grove Heights sits with her son, Christian (left), and Nora McGowan of Eagan as they watch the performance from the puppet wagon. (Scott Theisen/Sun Newspapers) Sun Newspapers - MNSLJN.com -Eagan Puppet Wagon brings lessons, fun to parks Page 2 of 3 , ,, It was only with the help of the audience's shouts that Dog finally nabbed his suspect and taught him the joy of reading books instead of eating them. Thorkildson who is in her first year with the Puppet Wagon, said each puppet is different and it can take some time to learn how to work each one. "Like that Dog puppet," she said. "His mouth doesn't want to work right. So you've got to learn how to use each one." Her fellow wagon workers have more experience with the Puppet Wagon. This is the second summer Johnson has worked with the wagon and Geske has worked with the wagon since 2001. Geske and Thorkildson said working with the wagon gives Johnson, who graduated this spring from St. Thomas Academy and is planning on studying engineering at the University of Minnesota in the fall, a chance to be creative. "It gives him an outlet for his creativity," Thorkildson said with a laugh. "He really enjoys that monster puppet." The monster puppet is a big hit with both audience members and puppeteers alike. Johnson said he loves playing the monster and finds it keeps sneaking into more and more shows at the wagon. "He's a lot of fun," Johnson said. "I based his voice off this funny voice I used to use with my siblings. He always gets a great reaction." The second act told the story of Annie and Fred, who were about to eat lunch at a picnic. Because Fred forgot his lunch, Annie got everybody else to share part of his or her lunch with him. The shows the puppets stage with their human helpers always have themes like that, teaching children the importance of such things as sharing, reading and respect. "One of my favorite's is Play Ball," said Geske. "It's about how everybody is good at something and - not to feel~oo-bad-ifyou are-last-picked. I-think it's a great message-for the kids." - - - - - The Puppet Wagon will continue to travel around Eagan through Friday, Aug. 18. Participants are invited to bring a snack and stay after the show to enjoy art projects, the playground and meet other families. Puppet shows are free of charge and run approximately 15 minutes in length. Bring a lawn chair or blanket.

The Sun-Current was able to obtain this exclusive interview with one of the stars of the Eagan Puppet Wagon, Annie: Q:So tell me about yourself, Annie? A:I'm 3-years-old and I like to come to the parks. One time I went to the zoo with my Grandpa and I got left there. I lived with the snakes and other animals but then they came to take me home. Q:What do you like best about pertorming at the Puppet Wagon? A:I like the kids. I like hearing them laugh and I like telling them jokes. It's lots of fun. I like to have fun. Q:Are there any favorite memories or stories you have from the Puppet Wagon performances? A:I can't pick just one. There are so many. One girl, Natalie, did write me a letter and told me she went to the show and loved it. I loved that. I love getting mail. The kids can put a letter or a drawing in the little mailbox in front of the wagon and then Emily will come out and read it to us. Q:What do you want to be when you grow up? / (, http://www.mnsun.com/articles/2006/07/12/news/ea06puppetwagon.prt 7/12/2006 ,~ Sun Newspapers - MNSLTN.com -Eagan Puppet Wagon brings lessons, fun to parks Page 3 of 3 ~. A:I'm only 3. I haven't thought of that yet! Q:What would you like to say to the boys and girls out there about the Puppet Wagon? A:Come see the puppets. It's lots of fun. You get to play at the park and there are crafts. It's so much fun and I love fun. This site and its contents Copyright ©2006.

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS Novus-Manley Commercial City Planner Pam Dudziak, provided background stating that Manley Commercial Inc. is requesting approval of a Preliminary Subdivision for the proposed development of a 90,000 sq. ft. private school for grades 7-12, associated athletic fields and a three story office building totaling approximately 190,000 sq. ft. with structured parking. A north-south public street is proposed from O'Neil Drive extending to a temporary cul-de-sac at the southern boundary of the site. The property consists of an outlot on O'Neil Drive south of I-494 and west of Argenta Trail . A 2.35-acre portion of the subject site is located in Inver Grove Heights and will require separate action by the Inver Grove Heights city council for development and plat approval. Forestry Supervisor Gregg Hove, showed an aerial photo of the vacant site's rolling topography, - ----scattered-wooded-areas-and-several-wetlands.A-tree-inventory-submitted-with-this-application-indicates-- that there are two-hundred thirty-seven (237) significant trees and thirty-two thousand nine-hundred fourteen (32,914) square feet (.76 acres) of significant woodlands in the inventory. Supervisor Hove reviewed the details of the tree removal proposed for this site and noted that the applicant has submitted a Tree Mitigation Plan that indicates the installation of two-hundred-two (202) Category B trees to fulfill tree mitigation requirements. Water Resources Coordinator, Eric Macbeth, showed a map of the site noting there are five wetland areas on the project site of which "A" and "B" are of high ecological quality because neither of these wetlands is connected to the City's stormwater drainage system. The assessments indicate wetlands "C," "D," and "E" to be of low ecological quality. Preliminary wetland management classifications being developed in Eagan's water quality management plan (WQMP) update process indicate wetlands "A" and "B" would receive the highest level of protection and approaches for this management classification may include: 1) avoidance of any impacts without demonstration of significant public benefit; 2) minimum natural vegetation buffer widths of 50 feet and average buffer widths of 75 feet; 3) 25-foot no-grade zone around wetlands; and 4) 25-foot structure setback from outer buffer edge. The other three wetlands would be protected similarly to what is provided by Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Rules. Macbeth stated the stormwater runoff from the site would drain west toward the Minnesota River. Macbeth said because of the size of the parcel, this project is subject to City water quality requirements. Macbeth said that the developer proposes to meet water quality requirements through innovative stormwater management such as rain gardens, underground storage (wet vaults), and underground infiltration pipes. No stormwater treatment basins were proposed. All stormwater from these practices would first be routed to the replacement wetlands and then to existing high quality wetlands. Macbeth informed the commission that specific information regarding stormwater management for approximately half of the site ("Outlet A" -commercial development portion) had not yet been provided by the developer. ~~ ~ • Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of Regular Meeting of June 19, 2006 Page 3 The developer has requested the City to exempt it from replacement standards, permitting 8,602-ft wetland "E" to be filled entirely. Historical evidence indicates wetland "E" was formed by construction of O'Neil Drive. Macbeth noted this is acceptable by the wetland technical advisory panel (TEP). The developer proposes to fill 20,460 square feet of the wetlands "C" and "D" entirely and to replace that impact with new wetland and by claiming 116,159 ft2 of public value credit for establishment of native grass upland habitat surrounding existing and created wetlands. The proposed amounts of replacement exceed the minimum 2:1 standards of the WCA Rules. Macbeth informed the commission that the TEP did not recommend approval of the wetland replacement plan due to lack of information regarding stonnwater issues and missing detail for Outlet A. Representatives from Novus-Manly Commercial asked that Alternative 9 be approved based on the developer providing the missing information as soon as possible. The developer's engineer responded to questions from member Belfiori noting that there is no outlet for the proposed wetland because the water flows south to the agricultural. fields and would continue to do so. Macbeth stated the TEP believes the road is an avoidable impact since its orientation can be shifted. Novus-Manly responded that requirements of office parking, school and athletic fields create the need for the orientation of the road, so the developer does not consider this an avoidable impact. After a brief discussion by the commission Member Belfiori moved, Member Filipi seconded; with all members present voting in favor to recommend to the City Council the following: 1. This proposal shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication. ---- - -------- --2--~ This proposal--shall-be-responsible--for-a-cash-trails-dedication.- - -- ----- 3. The applicant shall be required to fulfill tree mitigation requirements through the installation of one hundred eighty-one (181) Category B trees. 4. The applicant shall be required to protect the preserved tree's critical root zones through the placement of required Tree Protective measures (i.e.orange colored silt fence or 4 foot polyethylene laminate safety netting), to be 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 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. 6. The wetland delineation report should be formally accepted as submitted. 7. The incidental wetland exemption request should be granted. 8. High quality wetlands "A" and "B" shall be protected according to the following provisions, all of which are proposed by the developer: a. avoidance of any impacts without demonstrafion of significant public benefit; b. minimum natural vegetation buffer width of 50 feet and average buffer width of 75 feet; c. 25-foot no-grade zone around wetlands; d. 25-foot structure setback from outer buffer edge, and e. a conservation easement for the surrounding area. Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of Regular Meeting of June 19, 2006 Page 4 9. Approval of the wetland replacement plan application will occur upon: a. The receipt of additional technical information regarding overall site stormwater issues, ensuring that stonmwater will not exceed the volume and bounce beyond the current existing conditions and receipt of specific replacement wetland construction strategies. b. The developer providing a maintenance agreement to ensure that maintenance will occur for any underground stormwater practices. c. The developer demonstrating that amounts and fluctuations of stormwater to the wetlands do not exceed existing conditions. d. The developer providing apost-project assessment of the replacement wetlands (using the standard IVITTRAM protocols) to the TEP far it to determine if the constructed replacement wetland basins at least meet the functions and values of the impacted wetlands. OLD:BUSINESS Patrick Eagan Park Master Plan Update Director Johnson updated the Commission regarding the Patrick Eagan Park Master Plan. The consultants have met with the staff and done a walk through at Patrick Eagan Park. On June 20 the consultants will meet with the Friends of the Eagan Core Greenway and in the future will be meeting with the Caponi Art Park Board and the Art House Board. The consultants will likely be at the next workshop meeting on July 17. .:. __ --------------- --- --N~~-$IJSIl~TF.~SS---------- -- - 2007 Fees and Charges Director Johnson introduced this item, stating that the APrC annually reviews the fees charged for private use of park facilities and recreation equipment. During the review and discussion of the 2007 fees and charges staff suggested the consideration of a 5% overall increase in all fees. This would offset inflationary increases that have occurred since the last increase in 2004. An increase of 10% from 2003 to 2004 was the last time a fee increase was proposed and approved. The service of providing rental facilities and amenities to the community is a valuable service and the city is also mindful of the need to maintain a level of cost recovery for services. Member Danner opined that the City should re-consider the rental fee for facilities used for fund raising activities. She cited several cities within the metropolitan area that offer a lower fee to local organizations for their fund-raising efforts. After a brief discussion, Chair Peterson suggested that since the Recreation Subcommittee will be meeting to discuss other proposed fees that might be incorporated into the overall fee schedule that they re-visit the rental fee for fund raising and bring further discussion and recommendations back to the APrC for consideration. Member Pletcher moved and Chair Peterson seconded, with all present members voting in favor to recommend to the City Council approval of the 2007 fee schedule as presented which reflects a 5% increase in all fees. f .~ Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of Regular Meeting of June 19, 2006 Page 5 QTHER BiJSINESS AND REPORTS There was no other business and reports to discuss. WATER'RESOURCES UPDATE Member Belfiori asked for input from the commission regarding the timeline for sharing information about the Water Quality Management Plan with the public. He shared a preliminary timeline that would show public meetings occurring in late summer as well as dates in which the APrC sould be brought up to date with the actual plan and its implications to the City of Eagan. It is expected that this project will be completed before 2007. ROUND TABLE Member Pletcher reminded viewers that Saturday and Sunday is the Eagan Art Fair. Member Danner noted that Caponi Art Park is featured is the June Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine. AD3OURNMENT With no further business to conduct, Member Pletcher moved, Member Bari seconded with all members voting in favor to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m. Secretary Date
