AUGUST 2006
DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS
• STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY
• August 24th, 5:00-7:30pm will be Member Appreciation Night at the ECC.
• Chair person Peterson and Superintendent of Parks Olson represented Eagan at a forum
conducted by Dakota County intended to gather input from local units of government for
the new County Parks master plan. Additional meetings as a group and with individual
Cities are planned.
• ECC staff visited each of the local hotels to share City information and assess what
opportunities are available in that area.
• SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
• A non-resident Blast punch card is being developed to roll out this fall.
• Since Cascade Bay opened 62,456 admissions have come through the front gate alone.
• Cascade Bay/Captain Coarse will be host to the ECVB challenge and tour on August 17th.
Mini golf, tour of the facility and lunch will be provided to hotel representatives in Eagan.
• PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCES
• The very popular "Picking up Buckthorn" (PUB) program will resume after Labor Day. At
that time, residents can contact the City Tree Inspector at 651-675-5300 to arrange a site
visit. Upon a confirmation that Buckthorn is present, the City will schedule a pick up of
Buckthorn removed from the site by residents.
• The Forestry staff is injecting trees at a number of large Oak Wilt infection sites located in
park areas. Though, this season, staff has noted a slight overall decrease in the number of
both Dutch Elm and Oak Wilt trees. This cyclical trend appears consistent with other
reports from around the metro area. A peak was noted approximately 2 years ago.
• Many ponds and lakes are much "greener" than normal due primarily to the lack of
"flushing" created by normal rains. Nearly every water body in the City is in some way a
part of the storm water control system.
• PROMOTE HEALTH & WELLNESS
• Iron28Man incentive program is up and running for fitness members. The enthusiastic
participants each receive a t-shirt for completing the hybrid competition.
• After a lengthy delay due to significant vandalism, the installation of the new playground
structure at Kettle Park is complete. An additional security light in the area of the play
structure has also been installed. Park crews will now move back to Meadowlands to
continue with the installation of a new playground structure
• The rink boards and lights at Carnelian Park have been removed in anticipation of a
complete replacement and upgrade using a more efficient system. Staff from Dakota
County Parks and the Eagan Street Department are assisting with the grading and hauling of
new base material.
• The BMX track at Lexington Diffley Park is nearing completion. Staff has been working
with the League of Minnesota Cities to develop appropriate signage.
• The resurfacing of all 11 tennis courts at Northview Park is now complete. Thanks to staff
from the City and School for adjusting schedules to accommodate the work.
3
• The 3 full size soccer fields at Ohmann Park will be "rested" this fall. Staff has worked with
EAA and School to develop a field use plan that accommodates the fall schedules by using
alternate sites. Periodically resting fields is critical to retaining useable turf.
KUDOS TO STAFF:
• Three individuals from Park and Recreation were nominated for Employee Recognition
awards - Marshall Grange (ECC), Carrie Sinclair (Civic Arena) and Don Swanson (ECC)
• The seasonal maintenance and recreation staff members who have helped uphold Eagan's
tradition of providing quality facilities and opportunities couldn't do it without them!
• The entire staff at Cascade Bay that withstood the recent heat wave with a smile and the
assurance that the guests would have a quality and safe experience.

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 Marian Addition development.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Preliminary Subdivision (Marian Addition) of 1.8
acres to create two lots for property located at 4365 Capricorn Place in the NE t/a of Section 27.
The subject 1.8 acre lot was platted in 1972, as Lot 5, Block 2, Wilderness Park 3`d Addition.
There is an existing house that was built in 1967 and the existing detached garage was built in
1996. The proposed subdivision meets the majority of the R-1 requirements except for the 50 foot
lot frontage.
PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION:
This development would be responsible for a cash park dedication and cash trail dedication for the
newly created lot.
TREE PRESERVATION:
There are no tree preservation issues to review for this development.
WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS:
Similar to other residential developments, regardless of size, this subdivision will generate additional
stormwater runoff within the City. Because it is small, however, on-site treatment of stormwater for
water quality purposes is not reasonable or practical. Nevertheless, in accordance with the policies
the City has had in place since 1990, the development is responsible for a cash dedication equal to
the cost of the land and pond volume needed to reduce phosphorus export to undeveloped
conditions.
There are no jurisdictional wetlands associated with this site.
ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. This proposal shall be subject to a cash parks dedication for the newly created lot.
2. This proposal shall be subject to a cash trails dedication for the newly created lot.
3. This proposal shall be subject to a cash dedication in lieu of on-site water quality ponding.

City of Eagan MEMO X Plan Drawing
Parks and Recreation
AGENDA ITEM: IX-A; T-MOBILE O'LEARY LEASE REQUEST
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
ITEM OVERVIEW: T-Mobile is requesting City approval to install ground based equipment cabinets in
O'Leary Park to service an antenna located on a new pole in the County Road ROW. Because the location of
the proposed installation is within a park, the APrC is being asked to review and act upon the request for the
City to negotiate a lease.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
With the growth of the telecommunications industry, providers are partnering with other facility
owners to develop and improve the wireless network. One of the most common requests is for the
use/lease of an existing facility for antennas and transmission equipment. The most visible examples
can be seen on water towers, reservoirs and power poles. Height and geographic location being the
most critical factors in the determining location.
The City of Eagan currently administers over 20 leases for the use of City facilities as the base for
antennas and the associated equipment, most being located on water reservoirs. A number of
additional leases are pending. The Engineering Department has the primary responsibility for
managing and administering the lease program. Each request the City receives is reviewed by a
telecommunications consultant under contract to the City to determine compatibility with the system.
Upon completion of the review, a lease is generally approved by the City Council for a term of ten
years, with three @ five year renewals up to twenty-five years. The current lease rate for similar
ground equipment installations is $5035 per year with estimated annual increases of 6%.
In 2000, the APrC and Council approved a similar installation under a tower in Rahn Park.
ANALYSIS:
The pole being proposed for the antenna arrays will be located in the Lexington Avenue Right of
Way, replacing an existing pole The pole is owned by Exel Energy. T-Mobile will negotiate a separate
lease agreement with Exel for use of the structure.
The request before the Commission is for the use of a ground space area approximately 15' x 15' in
size located near the entrance drive to O'Leary Park, just west of the new pole. The area would be
used for state of the art, ground mounted equipment cabinets which will negate the need for a small
building.. The exact location would be determined in consultation with City staff. As with other
similar locations, the ground area would be secured by a chain link fence and landscaped in a manner
consistent with the character of the park. A minimal amount of vegetation, primarily turf would be
disturbed as a result of the installation. The installer would be held responsible for any restoration
deemed necessary by the City.
DISCUSSION/ EAVALUATION:
The most visible comparison to the proposal is the installation at Rahn Park, located immediately to
the north of the hockey rinks on another Exel tower. Approved in 2000, there have been no conflicts
or concerns related to the project or its subsequent operation.
The 2006 lease rate for this type installation is $5035.80 per year subject to annual increase of
approximately 6% per year. The City currently collects approximately $350,000 annually from similar
leases for installations located throughout the community. In very general terms, the lease revenues, as
approved by the City Council, are allocated as follows for 2006:
• $19,000; ongoing improvements to Historic Holz Farm
• $141,000; estimated subsidy to the Eagan Community Center (Decreasing from prior years)
• Balance; Utility Fund for Water and Sewer
The APrC reviewed the general concept at a July workshop and, by consensus, was in agreement with
the proposal.
ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. Recommend proceeding with negotiations with T-Mobile regarding the lease of ground space for
cabinets in O'Leary Park in conjunction with the installation of a new pole and antennas in the
adjacent Lexington Avenue Right of Way, all to be consistent with the terms and conditions of the
appropriate City telecommunications lease and pending review of the City telecommunications
consultant and City Attorney
2. Recommend proceeding with negotiations of the lease request, subject to alternative conditions.
3. Recommend denial of the lease request

DATE: July 21, 2006
RE: Changes to Park Dedication Law Minn. Stat. §462.358
BACKGROUND
The State Legislature recently enacted a law that amends the manner in which cities
require park dedication from developers applying for subdivisions. On May 31, 2006, the
governor signed HF3451 (the "Bill"), which makes substantial changes to Minnesota
Statute Section 462.358 (the "Statute").
Below are brief descriptions to the revisions to the Bill made to the Statute.
ANALYSIS
The first change the Bill made to the Statute is found in subdivision 2b(a). It requires a
city to pass an ordinance requiring a "reasonable portion" of the buildable land be
dedicated. Prior to the enactment of the Bill, a city was not required to pass an ordinance,
nor was the portion that was to be dedicated defined as a portion of the "buildable land,"
but rather the entire subdivision.
Subdivision 2b(b) of the Statute is where the most significant changes to the Statute
occur. The Bill deleted all of the existing subdivision 2b(b) and inserted an extensive
replacement. The requirements of the new subdivision 2b are:
2b(b) The city must adopt a capital improvement budget and a component for
parks, trails, open space in its comprehensive plan.
2b(c) The city may obtain a cash payment from the applicant in lieu of some or
all park dedication.
2b(d) In determining how much park dedication an applicant must make, the city
must give due consideration to the applicant's proposal and amount of
land it proposes to reserve for the subdivision.
2b(e) The city must "reasonably determine" that it requires that portion of land
as a result of approving the subdivision.
2b(f) Any cash payments made by the developer in lieu of actual land
dedication must be deposited by the city into a "special fund" to be used
only for the purposes for which the money was obtained (as described
below).
2b(g) Any cash payments received by the city must be used only for the
acquisition and development or improvement of parks and other open
space uses. These cash payments may not be used for ongoing operations
or maintenance activities of parks and other open space uses.
2b(h) A city may not deny an applicant's subdivision solely on the basis of an
inadequate supply of parks and other open space within the city.
2b(i) A previously subdivided property with the same number of lots is exempt
from these park dedication requirements if it is re-subdivided and has
same number of lots. However, if by re-subdividing the number of lots is
increased, these park dedication requirements may apply to the additional
lots or the cash payments may be applied to the net increase of lots.
The changes to the Statute become effective August 1, 2006.

Course Update

ICI MEMO AcenAGENDA ITEM: XI-A; CASCADE BAY CAPTAIN'S COURSE UPDATE
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
PREPARED BY: CHERRYL MESKO, SUPERINTENDENT OF OPERATIONS
MARK VAUGHAN, CAMPUS FACILITY MANAGER
ITEM OVERVIEW: Update and overview of the 2006 Cascade Bay Captain's Course operation.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
The City Council first reviewed the conceptual idea and design for a 9-hole miniature golf course within
Cascade Bay on January 17, 2006. Based on the initial construction cost estimate and projected revenue
the Council directed staff to pursue the proposal with the expectation that this amenity could be
incorporated in time for the 2006 Cascade Bay season.
Staff worked to develop more detailed costs, operational procedures, and details of how this amenity could
capture guests already at Cascade Bay. In addition a plan was put in place to allow the operation of the
golf course later in the evening after the waterpark closes and past the Cascade Bay Labor Day season in
order to expand the playability of the course.
Following Council approval in May to begin construction of Captain's Course, the contractor moved
rapidly to mobilize their crew to begin their work on June 5. Amazingly the contractor finished their work
in a little over two weeks amidst the activity of the opening weeks of the waterpark. Once the preliminary
work was completed the Forestry and Parks Maintenance staff moved in to finalize the details of
landscaping and irrigation modifications to put the final touches on the construction. All the work and
coordination in June with the contractor, water and utilities staff, park maintenance staff, forestry staff and
Cascade Bay staff led to the first paid round of golf on June 27.
The official Grand Tee-Off took place on July 6 with the Mayor and Council hosting the community for a
free night at Cascade Bay. The event brought in an estimated 1500+ visitors between 5:00-10:00 p.m. to
enjoy the night swimming and playing golf. Many of the visitors were familiar with Cascade Bay but there
were also many who had never visited before and found this to be a wonderful way to be introduced.
OPERATION TO DATE:
Captain's Course continues to be a very positive addition to Cascade Bay. There has been very little
marketing done this year to promote the course primarily to allow staff to better understand its
operation and identify target markets to pursue in 2007. Staff has also been collecting input from
course users to understand what, if anything, needs to change in the operation. Interestingly one of the
most common comments is that the course should have 18 holes and they wonder when an additional
nine will be added.
Statistically speaking, the overall operation of Captain's Course has exceeded expectations to date.
Some of the statistics since the course opened on June 27 through August 6 (41 days) include:
• Total rounds of golf 5,338
• Total punch cards* sold to CB season pass holders 18
• Total revenue from Captain's Course operation $16,464
• Average rounds of golf 130/day
FUTURE PLANNING
Fall 2006
While Cascade Bay closes on September 4, Captain's Course will remain open through October 22.
The hours of operation for this fall are proposed to be:
• Weekdays (beginning September 5) 5:00 - 9:00 p.m.
• Weekends Noon - 9:00 p.m.
Staff will monitor the use during these hours to see if modifications need to be made to the schedule.
The fall operation again is an experiment to see how the public might use Captain's Course during
these extended hours. The concessions operation will remain open as well with a limited menu to
provide some family friendly food and entertainment options. Again, we will monitor use and solicit
input from the public about how they want to use the course.
2007 Season
The current plan is to open Captain's Course in May 2007 to take advantage of potential nice weather
before the waterpark opens. Some of the promotional ideas that are in the works include:
• Birthday party packages
• Group and private rentals
• Reserved tee times
• Pre-season specials
• Morning golf programs; lessons, leagues, challenge games
• After school programs/activities
• Food/golf packages
• Special event/themed nights
Closing for the 2007 season will depend somewhat on how the 2006 season ends. We will be closely
monitoring attendance and programmatic interest to serve as a guide to how the 2007 season will
evolve.
If you've not had the opportunity to try a round of golf yet, come on down and we'll show you how
much fun you can have!

Re: Ring found by Parks/Maintenance Staff
Dear Mr. Hedges:
I write to thank you and your staff for the incredible help you afforded me.
I'm a librarian at the Wescott Library in Eagan. As I often do, on July 12, I was eating
my lunch at the Diffley Athletic Fields. I had a Subway sandwich and as I balled up the
wrapping after lunch a ring I was wearing inadvertently dropped into them. I ended up
throwing it away into a trash receptacle at the park!
When I realized sometime later in the afternoon what had probably happened (feeling
like a bit of an idiot) I went back up to the park and discovered the trash had already been
emptied (I'd planned to try to go through it to see if I could find it). So I talked to the
maintenance staff at the fields and they explained it had probably already ended up in a
- , - big` 1c umps -They recommen edTc ll-the 1V -Kt-enance epIS artm`ent -T so at about
3:30 or so yesterday afternoon. The staff there were amazingly helpful and said they'd
try to send someone out to look for it.
Imagine my happy shock when this morning Paul Graham came to the library and had the
ring in hand!!! He told me a seasonal worker named Luke Selby had actually found it
and they'd had to go through a lot of trash in the big dumpster to find it.. (He tells me a
lot of people eat Subway sandwiches!)
Anyway, this ring was my mother's, she died last year and left it to me. It was custom
made in Breckenridge, Colorado where she had a home. So it was very unique and it was
hers so I felt very sad when I realized I'd probably never see it again.
I trust you can imagine how absolutely thrilled I was when Mr. Graham came to the
library this morning with the ring. It's so encouraging to know the staff at the City of
Eagan care that much about helping the folks who live, work and relax here!
So I just wanted to pass along my thanks, and in particular to Mr. Graham and Mr. Selby.
Sincerely,
Jane Graham George
