Letter from Developer AGENDA ITEM: VI-B; LONE OAK BUSINESS CAMPUS CONCEPT PLAN TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION ITEM OVERVIEW: Review the proposed concept plan for the Lone Oak Business Campus to solicit feedback regarding potential parks, trails, water quality and forestry considerations. BACKGROUND/HISTORY: Lone Oak Development, LLC is requesting approval of a Preliminary Planned Development to create an office commercial development upon approximately 85 acres located north of Lone Oak Road and west of the Inver Grove Heights border in the SE'/4 of Section 1. The development site contains numerous wetlands, scattered wooded areas, and a shoreland protected lake on the northern end. The proposal incorporates a public street extending north from Lone Oak Road through the site. Private streets and service drives provide access to each of the proposed buildings. Two of the buildings are proposed to be five stories, the other five buildings are proposed as one-story. The two multi-story buildings are situated in the central portion of the site, south of the lake. All parking is proposed to be in surface lots. The site had a zoning of R-1, Single Family with the 1964 subdivision known as Delaware Estates. The property retained the R-1 zoning until Cray Research acquired and rezoned it to Planned Development in the early 1990's. Since the City's first Comprehensive Guide Plan in 1974, the property has been guided for retail, office, office/showroom and research and development. In February 2004, the City received an application for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to change the land use designation on this site from O/S, Office/Service to MD, Medium Density residential (4-12 units/acre). No action was taken by the City on the proposal, and the applicant withdrew the application in May 2004. A land use study subsequently undertaken by the City resulted in a conclusion by the study group that the current O/S, Office/Service land use designation was appropriate for this site. 7 PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION: Parks The North East area of the City has been designated for commercial development and is being planned and developed accordingly. Several other large scale corporate developments such as the "Waters" business park are already in existence. Because of the area designation, and subsequent lack of existing or future residential elements, the current park systems plan does not identify a need for park land in the Northeast area. The closest existing residential developments are located to the south, separated from the development site by State Highway 55, and are contained within the service area of Bur Oaks Park. Bur Oaks Park is one of the larger neighborhood parks in the City system. For these reasons, it may be appropriate to consider that the park dedication requirements for the Development be satisfied through a cash dedication. Currently, the cash dedication for the Development would be calculated by applying the appropriate Commercial rate, as specified in the existing Park Dedication fee schedule, to the area of "build-able land" calculated from the final approved site plan. In very general terms, the definition for "build-able" includes that area of a site outside of wetlands, having slopes less than a predetermined grade, minus those areas of the development that are, or will be, covered by easements. An alternative method, which would utilize a formula based upon the size of the building to determine the amount of dedication for commercial/industrial developments, is currently being evaluated. Should this project area be developed in phases, consistent with the overall plan, the dedication amount would be calculated on a lot by lot basis at the time the building permits are applied for, versus a single phase development for which a single dedication would be collected. The method of calculating the dedication would be determined by the method applicable at the time of application. Trails The Development proposes, in concept, a number of trails and sidewalks, some of which are designated as "future". In general, credit towards a cash trails dedication is considered on a lineal foot basis only for those trails that have "public benefit", are built to City specifications, and/or are requested specifically by the City. Trails and sidewalks considered to be primarily internal to a site with minimal potential for connectivity to the City system or of low recreational value are not considered for credit. The Development will be seeking credit for a number of trails that it considers to be of "tremendous benefit to the business employees and area residents". An internal link to the existing City trail system on Lone Oak Road is proposed. In addition, the site does abut an area of Inver Grove Heights that may be developed as residential and will be connected to Eagan via a new road corridor, though the benefits to Eagan are difficult to evaluate at this time. Because of the connectivity that sections of the internal and external trails could provide, and the apparent public purpose and consistency with the Eagan Transportation plan, it may eventually be appropriate to consider a credit towards the cash trails dedication of the Development. Other "future trails" as currently depicted, lack definition. Any future credit will be determined through discussions with City staff as details emerge. As with Park Dedication, should the development be built in phases, consistent with this concept plan, the amount of credit and subsequent dedication amount would be calculated on a lot by lot basis. 8 TREE PRESERVATION: A tree inventory submitted with this application indicates that there are twenty-one (21) significant trees and 977,393 square feet (22.4 acres) ,of significant woodlands in the inventory. The significant woodlands on this site are comprised mostly of softwood deciduous trees such as elm, boxelder, and cottonwood trees, along with scattered areas of conifer trees and some areas of hardwood deciduous (oak) trees. According to the conceptual Tree Preservation Plan submitted, the development as proposed will result in the removal of eighteen (18) of the twenty-two (21) significant trees (86 % of the total), and in the removal of 501,254 square feet of the significant woodlands, (51% 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 and significant woodlands. Required tree mitigation calculates to one-hundred seventy-eight (178) Category B trees. The applicant has not submitted a Tree Mitigation. WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS: Water Quality This proposed 85+-acre development, located in the northeast corner of the City, includes portions of two recreational class waterbodies (Class N - Wildlife Habitat), according to the City's current water quality management plan (WQMP). Both are also state public waters: Shanahan Lake (DNR# 19-0054P), which is within a City Shoreland Overlay District, and Unnamed Wetland (DNR# 19-0256W). As part of the ongoing process to update Eagan's WQMP in early 2007, ecological assessments of the two public waters were conducted in Fall 2005 using standard (Minnesota Routine Assessment Method) approaches. The assessments indicate both waterbodies have high ecological quality, primarily because they are not connected to the City's stormwater drainage system. Water quality data collected in 2005 by City staff also indicate Shanahan Lake has very good water quality, nearly similar to Heine Pond for phosphorus and nearly similar to Fish Lake for water clarity. Heine Pond has the City's lowest phosphorus levels and Fish Lake is among the best for clarity. The 2005 phosphorus level in Shanahan Lake is lower than that measured in 1983. For over 16 years, the City has required new developments to address increased phosphorus runoff with the goal of maintaining the integrity of downstream recreational waterbodies. Typically, stormwater ponds have been required with an assumed minimum phosphorus retention standard of 70 percent. In addition to providing proper to provide proper ponding, new developments are also required to provide mitigative measures if the development results in an increase in the phosphorus concentration of downstream recreational waterbodies. Such measures shall include but not be limited to: reducing impervious area, constructing additional treatment ponds, treating stormwater discharge through other means, or contributing cash in lieu for mitigation as determined by the City. Preliminary analysis by City staff of modeled runoff from this proposed development when using traditional treatment ponds suggested Shanahan Lake water quality would degrade significantly because of a 2-fold increase in both phosphorus load and runoff volume, as compared to existing, pre-development conditions. 9 In direct response to this issue, the developer proposes to achieve up to 96 percent reduction in the post- development phosphorus loads by modifying the outlet structures of the treatment ponds. These modifications would dramatically increase storage times in the ponds, allowing retention of up to 5-year storms and infiltration through side slopes of the ponds. In the final plans, the developer also proposes to incorporate vegetated buffer strips, rain gardens, infiltration basins, or other low-impact Best Management Practices as needed to reduce phosphorus load and runoff volume further. The proposed treatment ponds are associated with only a portion of the runoff, not the entire site. The amount of land area that drains stormwater offsite without treatment is subject to a water quality cash dedication. Wetland Delineations The wetland delineation report for the project site (McCombs Frank Roos Associates, Inc.; MFRA# 16051) identifies the two abovementioned public waters and 10 other wetlands. The developer's consultant evaluated the boundaries and characteristics of the wetlands using widely accepted methods. Any proposals to impact the bed of the public waters are subject to the Public Waters Work Permit Program, under jurisdiction of the Minnesota DNR. Any proposals to impact the 10 other wetlands by draining, filling, or excavating are subject to Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act Rules (WCA Rules) (Minn. Rules Ch. 8420), under jurisdiction of the City of Eagan. Wetland Ecoloiiical Assessments Preliminary wetland management classifications being developed in the WQMP update process indicate the two public waters wetlands would receive the highest level of protection. 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 10 wetlands would be protected according to WCA Rules. The developer is proposing an average setback of 75 feet to structures and an average buffer of 30 feet to grading limits for Unnamed Wetland. These distances are exceeded around Shanahan Lake. Wetland Replacement Plan The developer proposes 1.14 acres (49,148 square feet) of fill impacts to 7 of the 10 wetlands. The plan proposes to replace these impacts by creating 52,860 square feet of new wetland and by claiming 123,385 square feet of public value credit for construction of stormwater treatment ponds and establishing wetland buffers. The proposed amounts of onsite replacement exceed the minimum 2:1 standards of the WCA rules. Effective September 8, the City determined the developer's wetland replacement application is complete. The City has not called for a review by its Wetland Technical Evaluation Panel. A decision on this application is scheduled for November 9, 2006. ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: 1. The future park dedication for the development(s) shall be satisfied through a cash dedication, the method and timing of the calculation to be determined through consultation with staff 2. The future trails dedication for the development(s) shall be satisfied through a cash dedication. A full credit may be given for portions of a trail within the grade of the primary public roadway, consistent with the City Transportation plan and built to City specifications. Additional credit may be granted, upon staff review, for on-site trails determined to provide connectivity and obvious public value, all found to be consistent with the over-all resource protection measures implemented on the site. 3. Proposals to meet water quality requirements through treatment ponds are acceptable 10 4. Proposed development is subject to water quality cash dedication for the amount of land area that drains stormwater offsite without treatment 5. Submitted wetland delineation report is acceptable to staff, and the City Council needs to formally accept it 6. Proposed wetland replacement plan is acceptable to staff, and the City Council needs to make a formal decision 7. The applicant shall be responsible for submitting a Tree Mitigation Plan that satisfies any tree mitigation required for the development 8. The applicant shall 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. 9. The applicant shall 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. 11 Eagan Boundary N Parcel Area Location Map ~ParkArea ® Building Footprint MENDOTA HEIGHTS Q Ii2 C7 w ® p e - m ~ i Subject o Site C i r4Te.~~ .

We offer the following responses/clarifications: t E t 1. Parking shortage for five-story office buildings: The proposed site plan shows 2 - five-story buildings with 175,000 s.f. in each building and 1,510 parking spaces. The parking ratio required a by ordinance is one (1) space for every 150 s.f. of leaseable office space. The leaseable area I for the building is 350,000 x (.80) = 280,000 s.f. By ordinance we would need 1,867 spaces. We ` feel that based upon past experience and tenant requirements that one (1) space/200 s.f. is adequate which would require 1,400 spaces and we have provided 1,510. It is our understanding that this reduced number of spaces has been allowed on other projects in Eagan, therefore we would not be setting a precedent by asking for this reduction. However, if additional spaces are required by an actual tenant that exceeds the number provided we will provide these spaces in structured parking thereby not effecting the total green space. The balance of the buildings meet your ordinance. i 2. Park trails as a portion of the park dedication fee: We have shown an extensive trail system though-out our development that also provides possible future connections to adjacent properties. An extensive trail system in this area of the City would be of tremendous benefit to the business employees and area residents as well. The proposed trails would connect the , natural features of the site and all proposed buildings. Without these trails, public access to this unique natural feature would not be provided. 3. Wetland setbacks: Staff has requested that we provide an average 75' setback to wetlands from buildings and parking and an average 50' to grading limits. We understand that this may be an ordinance in the future but currently is not. The current ordinance requires an average 40' setback to structures and an average 25' to proposed grading. Our plan provides an average of 75' to structures and an average of 30' to grading limits for the southeast wetland. These setbacks are far exceeded for the large northern wetland / lake area. RECEIVED AUG 3 0 2006 7645 Lyndale Avenue South,. # 100 Minneapolis , Minnesota 55423 612.861 .9636 Fax: 612.861 .9632 W w w t m i a r r h i+ P r t c r n m t G a i i City of Eagan Lone Oak Business Park August 30, 2006 Page 2 of 2 i 4. Tree Preservation: The City ordinance requires that 52.5% of all significant trees be preserved on the site (maximum 47.5% removal). Many of the existing trees were planted as part of the original farmstead and subsequently by the previous landowner as a tree nursery and as such are not native original growth vegetation. In addition, the unusual natural features of this site makes it difficult to maintain the desired tree preservation. The natural lake and adjacent wetland areas consume a large portion of the site, and at the same time do not contain many of the existing significant trees. Preserving these wetland areas was a higher priority than actual tree preservation. In addition to preservation of these wetland / lake areas, we exceeded the City requirement for green space. City ordinance requires this development to have 1,817,171 s.f. of E green space and we have provided 2,252,806 s.f. This requires that the balance of the site be used for development uses. We have analyzed the tree survey and our proposed site plan and have determined that we can save an additional 188,634 s.f. of forested area by moving the central stormwater pond to between the two office buildings and slightly modifying the grades for E the southern and northern stormwater ponds, which can be done at the final development stage submittal. Since we are going to great extremes to preserve and enhance the existing wetland and lake by adding landscape buffers and increasing setbacks, we request that this site be exempt from providing additional mitigation due to tree loss beyond 47.5%. The proposed plan is within 4.5% of the maximum loss allowed by ordinance. This can be summarized as follows: Total Woodland Area 977,393 s.f. Current woodland area proposed to be removed 642,904 s.f. (65.7%) (Proposed Site Plan) Stormwater pond modifications -134.074 s.f. (reduced removal) to increase woodland preservation Modified Total woodland area proposed to be removed 508,830 s.f. (52%) Allowed tree removal by ordinance 464,261 s.f. (47.5%) i If you have any questions regarding this please contact our office.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY: The Recreation"staff met with the APrC programming sub committee to share ideas, discuss programming and receive direction from the board during the fall of 2004. As a result of the meetings, recreation supervisory staff has been invited to share program information on a quarterly basis. This report is a culmination of all of the recreation program areas including preschool, adult sports, family, teens and seniors. Community Events ■ Puppet Wagon - The puppet wagon had a great summer and attendance skyrocketed to 1,289 people in attendance compared to the 645 in 2005. Shows were held Rye mornings a week in ten parks on a two week rotating basis. ■ Eagan Live Jive Fourteen performances were scheduled at the Eagan Rotary Band Shell between June and August. Not only were there no complete rain outs, but attendance figures also reflect an appreciation and increased recognition of the facility. In 2005 there were approximately 700 participants, while this year's totals almost reached 1800 attendees. This increase may be due to a slight increase in the number of performances, a consistent Wednesday schedule, and a collaborative effort and combination with other programs. For example, the seniors and historical society collaborated to offer a Flag Day event which also included the puppet wagon and attracted over 500 people for this first-ever day time performance. ■ Ground Pounders Grand Prix Running Series The South of the River Recreators (S.O.R.R.) cities including Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville, Prior Lake, Rosemount and Savage have completed another successful running season. Over the course of the year there were 2096 runners, only six less than participated in 2005. Runners that participate in four or more races are eligible for season-ending prizes, which are given to the top five point winning males and females in eight age categories for the short and long courses. 12 ■ Who Done It Hike - This annual family mystery hike is also sponsored by S.O.R.R. and is held each year in Lakeville. Participants receive clues to a mystery along the route and at the end are asked to pick who they think "done it." This year's mystery dealt with the disappearance of a plaque for the best butler award and included such infamous butlers as Lurch from the Addams Family and Benson from the Tate Family home. A total of 218 participants attended from nine communities. This is less than half the attendance from 2005, which was a record breaking year with over 500 participants. This year's attendance may also have been minimized by the rain during the early morning hours. ■ Holz Farm fall festival "Lone Oak Days" - Lone Oak Days was held on September 30 and October 1. 1400 participants enjoyed the beautiful fall weather and the many historic 1940's era activities. There was a watermelon seed spitting contest, a spelling bee, a pie eating contest and lots of fun, free entertainment. Pedal tractors, children's activities, virtual cow milking and hayrides were also enjoyed by all. Golf ■ Eagan Parks and Recreation worked with Parkview Golf Club and Mendota Heights Par Three in 2006 to offer a wide variety of golf programs for youth and adults. Lessons, camps and leagues were available to all ages and abilities. A total of 542 people took advantage of these opportunities, ten more participants than in 2005. The majority of the participation continues to be in the youth leagues programs at each site. Tennis ■ Program totals for tennis continue to be very strong in Eagan. A total of eight staff provided introductory through advanced programs for ages three and older throughout the summer. Camps, group lessons, private lessons, team programs and special events were well received by the 724.tennis enthusiasts this past summer. In 2005 there were a total of 699 participants.
