Youth Development o This fall three of four sites will be underway by October, Glacier Elementary, Pilot Knob Elementary and Moon Shine Park. Meetings have begun towards developing collaborative programming at Rahn Elementary as well. o This fall registration at Pilot Knob is slower than previous years. As well as other after school programs. It may be a good time to re-evaluate and possibly survey parents to identify barriers. Transportation has been an issue for some in past years. o Glacier programming includes a wonderful collaboration with the school, teachers, community education and the YMCA the after school programs have expanded greatly. We will be assisting in assuring families in lower income areas are informed and understand the costs. o According to county records, Moonshine Park is located in a lower income neighborhood. This fall we are testing some recreation programs based out of the park facility. Glen Pond apartment complex is assisting with literature drops and collection of registration. In addition, a. direct mail announcement will be delivered to the homes in the area. o Rahn Elementary is a new collaboration for us and we have been meeting with district 191 Community Education and corresponding with the principal. We are hoping for two days a week after school recreation options to be coordinated along side the enrichment and school age care programs that community education facilitates. 5. Teens: o The new name for the teen center will be "officially released" at our anniversary party scheduled for September 24`h o School visits have already begun to promote the teen center and upcoming programs. o Fall programs include, a girls group, Chipolte card club, dodge ball, flag football, Vikings parties and of course our middle school dances and "bring the noise." o The community group behind the film festival has begun meeting to prepare for the 2005 festival. There are new members and more changes to enhance the program even more. o Teen programmers have met to continue the work at developing collaborative programs. These groups include Rosemount, Apple Valley, Farmington, ISD 196 community education, the Garage, the YMCA, Dakota County fair, Dakota County, 4H, and growing. o Eagan Teen Advisory Board members have provided the City with the teen perspective about the WiFi and wireless technology by surveying over 300 teens. They presented the information to the Marketing Director for consideration by the community task force. o The Eagan Teen Advisory Board will meet on September 21" at 5:00 p.m. They will continue to meet twice monthly and also set their annual goal setting retreat. o We are currently accepting Eagan Teen Advisory Board Applications. Three positions are currently open. 6. Fall Preschool is up and running! 329 children are registered between the park shelters and at the Community Center. ¦ "Preschool Fun for Us" a new parent/child class for children ages 1-5 along with their parents at the Community Center is a huge success. Participants have the opportunity to participate in preschool activities (art, story songs, and play time) with the fun of having a parent by their side. This class is ideal for the families not ready for the separation of traditional preschool. ¦ Musical Wednesdays has a full class after struggling in attendance last Spring. Children are learning basic music concepts while sharing their love of music. ¦ Opportunities for a weekend morning of preschool is offered in a class called "Saturday Specials". Registration is currently being accepted for those classes. 7. R.E.A.C.H. ( Recreational and Educational Activities Created for Home-Schoolers.)

Recreation & Community Center staff have been meeting frequently to maximize opportunities with program and event development for maximum utilization of the facility. 12. At the urging of numerous baseball enthusiasts, plans are underway to improve the playability of the Eagan High School varsity Baseball field. PARKS DIVISION • The process of filling two vacant park maintenance worker positions has essentially been completed. Two very qualified individuals with solid educational and vocational backgrounds were selected from 77 applicants. They are expected to be available to begin with the City by the end of September and will hit the ground running as there is considerable work to finish prior to winter. • The City is in the process of closing out the Streetscape Contract that includes Central Parkway and Cedar Grove. There are a number of "punch list" items that remain to be resolved including irrigation adjustments, some plant replacement, and maintenance of some beds. Once the project is closed the City will assume full responsibility. To date, City involvement has been limited primarily to mowing. • The `Capon group" consisting of representatives from the agencies involved in the potential acquisition, met recently to review progress and responsibilities. Work continues on the refinement of the various documents and reports. There have been no Council actions requested. City staff is in the process of developing a resource management plan as required by Dakota County. • A contractor has begun the process of converting the northerly Lexington Diffley Fields driveway into a public street to service the new Lexington Ridge development. The bituminous surface has been milled and a portion of the utilities installed. Under terms of the contract the road must be left in a passable condition to accommodate evening use. Work is to be completed by late fall. The private utilities to service the development were installed through the park requiring the relocation of one small soccer field. The disturbed area has been restored nicely. • With the on-going construction at Eagan High School an increasing number of students are parking in the Northview Park' lots. Being that all fall activities at NV are primarily in the evening or on the weekend there have been no conflicts with park users though there has been an increase in the volume of litter. An issue of contention in prior years has been snow plowing. Because the City does not have winter activities at the site, the City does not plow it. Accommodating the early morning student parking would require that it become a top priority, pulling a plow from another route. The District has agreed to clear the lot for students, using District contractual services. This has worked well though many people assume the City is the responsible party. • RFP's have been sent to 12 (or more) prospective consulting firms interested in the Systems Plan update project. Proposals are due by September 22 after which a "short list" of 3 to 4 firms will be called back for formal presentations and interviews. The process should be shifting into high gear sometime in October. • Work is well underway on most of the 2004 CIP projects; 1. Cedar Pond Playground - The structure has been installed and is ready for use. The walls have also been completed, landscaping and the paving of some of the peripheral areas remains. 2. South Oaks Playground - The original structure has been removed, work has begun in preparation for the new structure. 3. Quarry Park Rinks - Paving is completed, all of the side boards and uprights for the new rinks have been installed. The corners and back stop fences remain. The dirt removed from the rinks was used to create a large sitting berm between the ball field and soccer field. All disturbed areas have been hydro-mulched. 4. Ridgecliff Tennis Courts - Ridgecliff was determined to have to have the most deteriorated surface. Quotes for the installation of a modular tile system over the court have been requested. 5. Central Park Trail Lighting - The new lights will be installed around the fountain pond and also along the trail from the pond to the pavilion. Fixtures to match those found in the area of the CC have been ordered and locations determined. Work on the concrete bases is to begin at any time. 6. Central Park Festival Grounds Electrical Panels - Complete 7. Wescott Shelter - On hold pending Council authorization to proceed 8. Holz Farm Improvements - Installation of the new water service to the house and barn is nearly complete. The replacement of siding and batons on the barn is complete, painting is expected at any time. The sprinkler systems for the house and barn will be installed later in the fall upon conclusion of seasonal activities at the farm. • Water Resources staff began managing the "reflecting pond" at Central Park with herbicides this summer once various aquatic plants were found growing in the site. In early summer, large filamentous algae mats developed. Later in the summer, cattails became the concern when they were found sprouting all over the pond. So far, City staff has treated the algae twice, and a consultant has treated the cattails once. • Last week, the City completed its long-term water quality monitoring program. Samples and data were collected from 16 lakes and ponds this year. • The Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Organization (GCLWMO) has agreed to provide cash support of up to $5,000 in the development of an interpretive program on the shoreland habitat restoration project at Moonshine Park. The Minnesota DNR is providing a standard interpretive sign about lakeshore restoration, but the GCLWMO has expressed an interest in contributing to a unique interpretation that is specific to the site. City staff is completing a final report of the project the Minnesota DNR. COMMUNITY CENTER: • July began our Frequent Fitness Health Promotion with HealthPartners. We enrolled 51 members in July and in August we were up to 68 members. • The summer 90-day memberships are expiring. An enrollment discount is being offered to all 90-day members if they sign up for a regular membership. Thus far we have retained 75 members from this summer special; this equates to about 50% retention at this point. • Complimentary fitness classes are being held the week of September 12-19; this draws in new participants to the center. We were fortunate to get good press on these classes as it was in the local papers as well as the Pioneer Press. • Group fitness classes are now included with a Community Center membership. This became effective on September 1. • The run club started on Monday, September 13. • A new Preschool Open Gym/Blast program began on Tuesday, September 14. Parents of preschoolers now pay a small fee and use the gym and Blast from 9:30-11:30 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Opening day, 20 preschoolers showed up and the reactions from parents were very positive. • On August 21 the Community Center was rented to the MOMs (Mothers of Multiples) for their garage sale. The MOMs hold this event twice a year at the Eagan Community Center. The MOM's Club also holds their Halloween and Holiday Parties here. • The Annual Eagan Employee Recognition and Picnic was held at the Community Center for the very first time on September 9. Over 200 employees were in attendance and all five council members were present; believed to be a first in history as well. • In August eight wedding receptions were held in the Oaks Banquet Room. One of those wedding parties also hosted their ceremonies in the building. For September we have nine wedding receptions scheduled with four of those having their ceremony here, three of them outdoors. • Eagan Athletic Association youth tryouts are taking place in the gymnasium at the Community Center the weekends of September 11-12 and Septemberl6-19. • The Minnesota Work Force Job Fair, which draws a very large crowd, takes place on Thursday, September 16. This group utilizes almost every room in the Community Center for this event. • A menu board for the concession stand was purchased and installed this past week. New picnic tables with benches were added to the patio this summer. An AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) was installed this past month. • Promotion of the Community Center occurred by staff attendance at booths at the Lockheed Martin Health Fair; and Rahn, Oak Ridge & Woodland Elementary School open houses during the months of August and September. • The annual inspection and testing of all fire alarm devices, sprinklers, and fire extinguishers was completed this month.

Buffer Mitigation Plan TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION PREPARED BY: PARKS AND RECREATION STAFF ITEM DESCRIPTION: Review the parks dedication, trails dedication, tree preservation, water quality, and wetlands issues that pertain to the Cedarstone of Wescott addition. BACKGROUND/ HISTORY The applicant is requesting approval of a Rezoning of five acres from Agriculture to Planned Development, a Preliminary Planned Development to create 14 twin homes and a Preliminary Subdivision to create 8 lots on property located at 1055 Wescott Road in the SW 1/4 of Section 14. The subject property is not platted. An application for rezoning to R-2, residential double, was submitted in March. At the May City Council meeting the City Council directed the applicant to reapply with a preliminary subdivision package and go through the process, in order for the Commissions and Council to make a more informed decision. The site is heavily wooded; a single family home and a pole barn are present. Access is via Wescott Road. There is a large pond in the middle of the site. The applicant is proposing to deviate from the R-2 standards and allow reduced side and rear yard setbacks and the lot sizes. R-2 is simply used for comparison purposed with the Proposed Planned Development. Standards of Planned Development The Planned Development zoning district allows the developer to have greater flexibility in the design of the development and the City to require higher standards in exchange for that flexibility. The applicant's narrative indicates that as proposed the development "allows for a greater creativity and sensitivity to environmental features such as the existing wetland area and significant trees species. Residential units can be in closer proximity to one another, thereby creating a greater since of community and pedestrian, not vehicular, orientation. Impact to the projects perimeter is also reduced due to the reduction of internal setbacks from potential property lines and/or right-of-way should the project be platted in accordance with the requirements of the zoning ordinance." C... The rezoning request is to rezone from Agriculture to PD, Planned Development. The intent of the Planned Development zoning district as follows: 1. Providing greater flexibility in environmental design and relaxation of strict application of the zoning ordinance in exchange for greater creativity and environmental sensitivity. 2. Recognizing the economic and cultural advantages that will accrue to the residents of a planned community. 3. Encouraging a more creative and efficient approach to the use of the land. 4. Encouraging the preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics, natural features, and open space. 5. Encouraging a development pattern that is consistent with land use density, transportation facilities and community facilities objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The APC and City Council will review these criteria with this development. PARKS AND TRAILS DECIATION Parks or trails dedication due for the development shall be satisfied through a cash dedication. TREE PRESERVATION A tree inventory submitted with this application indicates that there are two-hundred forty-five (245) significant trees in the inventory (applicant's summary states 242 trees). Individual tree size and species break down is as follows: Species Avg Diameter Dia. Range Count Percent of Total Oak 20" 6"-34" 86 35% Conifer 30 ft hgt 15-45 ft hgt 85 35% (Pine, cedar, spruce) Willow 30" 13"-38" 6 3% The balance of the tree inventory is comprised of a variety of deciduous trees, including species such as box elder, elm, black cherry, cottonwood, ash, aspen, cottonwood, maple, and birch trees averaging 12" in diameter. The development as proposed will result in the removal of one-hundred ten (110) significant trees (44.9 % 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, multiple-unit residential) 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. The applicant proposes to preserve, through transplanting within the site, 32 existing significant trees (tree #'s 23-26, 33, 39, 82-84, 93-99, 114, 115, 125, 126, 129, 130, 142, 145- 148, 159, 160, 172, 181, and 182). These 32 trees are counted on the preliminary tree preservation plan as being preserved. They are to be transplanted to locations within the development site according to the submitted tree preservation plan. '1. In an attempt to maximize tree preservation, the applicant intends to preserve forty (40) trees adjacent to areas to be graded. The preliminary grading plan submitted shows proposed grade lines occurring inside the CRZ of trees that are to be preserved on site (tree #3-5, 8-11, 20, 21, 28, 29, 31, 32, 37, 63, 78, 87, 88, 113, 117, 118, 120-122, 134, 137-141, 168-171, 173-175, 177, 187, and 188) . To ensure survival of these preserved trees, staff is recommending that a long-term tree survival plan be prepared by a certified arborist and implemented on all trees with encroachment into the CRZ. Also staff is recommending that the applicant communicate with city forestry staff in the actual placement of tree protection fence around these trees. No encroachment is to occur inside tree protection areas. WATER QUALITY/ WETLANDS This proposed 5.0-acre residential development is located east of Fish Lake in the City's J- watershed. Some of the stormwater runoff generated by the built area of this development (2.0 acres) will drain to a treatment pond that is proposed to be constructed next to the 0.9-acre wetland in the middle of the parcel. Runoff from the other proportion of the built development (1.6 acres) site will drain offsite. The wetlands and surrounding buffer areas comprise the remaining 1.4 acres of the property. 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, and walks). The total impervious proportion of the proposed built area is 61.8 percent. To meet City water quality requirements, a minimum wet-pond volume of 0.27 acre-feet covering an area of 0.17 acre would be needed. The pond would have a maximum depth of six feet and a 10:1 aquatic bench beginning at the normal water level. The remaining 1.6-acre built area of the development that will drain offsite is subject to a cash dedication in lieu of treatment ponding. WETLANDS There are four wetlands on this parcel, according to the delineation report prepared August 16, 2004. The largest wetland, which is approximately 0.88 acre in surface area, is in the center of the parcel. This is a Type 4 wetland, 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. Along the southwest boundary of the parcel, a 285-square-foot Type 1 wetland exists. Another small Type 1 wetland (183 square feet) is located northeast of this wetland. Type 1 wetlands are seasonally flooded basins or flats. Typically, soil is covered with water or is waterlogged during variable periods but is usually well-drained during much of the growing season. Vegetation varies from bottom-land hardwoods to grasses. The edge of a fourth wetland is located along the eastern boundary of the parcel. This 732- square-foot area 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. None of the wetlands are designated public water wetlands by the Minnesota DNR. Therefore, all are under jurisdiction of the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), which regulates draining and filling of all natural wetlands and excavation of certain types of natural wetlands. This program is administered by the City of Eagan, which acts as local government unit for WCA issues. WCA Rules (Minn. Rules Ch. 8420) do not require wetland replacement for any excavation of Type 1 wetlands or for up to 2,000 square feet of fill in Type 1 wetlands. The developer proposes to fill both Type I wetlands (a total of 468 square feet of fill). The developer is proposing a conservation area under an easement that includes a 30-foot buffer around most of the large wetland and the stormwater treatment pond. ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION 1. The park dedication shall be satisfied through a cash dedication. 2. The trail dedication shall be satisfied through a cash dedication. 3.

REZONING, : y i :LUMINARY SUBDIVISION SUBMITTAL z MITIGATION PLAN r ?l, MEMO city of eagan TO: MIKE RIDLEY, CITY PLANNER CHERRYL MESKO, PARKS AND RECREATION ADMININSTRATIVE COORDINATOR DIANNE MILLER, ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: JON HOHENSTEIN, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2004 SUBJECT: APPOINTMENTS TO THE NORTHEAST EAGAN LAND USE STUDY ADVISORY COMMITTEE The purpose of this memo is to provide brief background to be shared with your Commission members regarding the appointment of members to the Northeast Eagan Land Use Study Advisory Committee. The Study has been authorized by the City Council to review the land use considerations related to the Comprehensive Guide Plan designation of the portion of northeast Eagan bounded by 494, TH 149, Lone Oak Road and the Inver Grove Heights boundary. The study will be overseen by an Advisory Committee, which is expected to be made up of two members of the Advisory Planning Commission, Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission, Economic Development Commission and Airport Relations Commission. I would request that you ask each of the Commissions that you staff to identify two members who would be willing to take on one additional meeting per month to assist staff and the City's consultant with this important study. The study's focus is to determine whether the City's current Comprehensive Plan office service designation for that area continues to be the best designation or whether a different designation, possibly including a mix of residential and retail uses would be appropriate. Because such a change has implications for the planning of our City, its parks and recreation development and maintenance, economic development policies and airport policies, it is important to have perspectives from all of the Commissions that have a stake in the ultimate decision made by the City Council. A copy of the approved study scope of work is attached. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter. Community Development Director JH LF?.

It certainly addresses the concerns commission members expressed last night. Cherryl -----Original Message----- From: Jon Hohenstein Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 10:48 AM To: Tom Hedges; Sheila Cartney; Eric Macbeth Cc: Mike Ridley; Cherryl Mesko Subject: Sycamore Place Council Action One and All, 1 In follow up to last evening's Parks Commission meeting, Councilmember Fields called expressing concern about having the comment period on the wetland plan running past the September 7 Council meeting. While we had proposed to handle the issue with a condition that any comments that were received after September 7 would be addressed at final subdivision, there is always the chance that a last minute comment would be ;bstantial or that the Council may need to make a policy call on the City's response to comments. As a ,.onsequence, I have called Rich Ragatz and, while apologizing for the delay, put him on notice that we need to move the item to September 21 instead. We will need to call out this change at the Planning Commission meeting and in our correspondence with the public. Thanks.

I think that I can fill in some blanks for you and explain how the EAW process works moving forward. An EAW is a multi-step process. When a development is proposed, the developer completes and submits a standard EAW form that asks a series of questions about what environmental contamination may be present on the site and how those issues will be addressed by the proposed development. It makes sense for the developer to perform this work, because they know what they intend to do regarding clean-up, material removal, grading and other actions that will remediate the contamination. An EAW also identifies what impacts the development may have on its own, irrespective of preexisting contamination. When that submittal is received, the City will forward it to one of its own consultants to critique the developer's analysis and to coordinate the public input process that is required for such reviews. The input process makes the document available and invites comments from the public and interested agencies regarding the analysis, including identification of contaminants, potential impacts, remediation plans and so on. The City's consultant compiles and prepares responses to the comments that answer the questions, clarify how the plans outlined in the EAW address it or note that it is an unresolved issue. A final report is then issued by the City's consultant to the City Council, who will determine on the basis of the original submittal, the comments and our consultant's analysis, whether the issues have been addressed sufficiently. If the Council determines that the issues have been addressed sufficiently, they can find the document to be adequate and then consider the development applications themselves. If the Council determines that not all of the issues have been addressed adequately, they can direct that additional work be done by the developer to respond to those issues. If the Council determines that the issues have been adequately addressed in the EAW documentation and ultimately approves a development for the site, it is still necessary for the developer to carry through with the clean up plans identified in the EAW process under the scrutiny of the various agencies that are responsible for the different parts of the plans. The County, MPCA and other agencies have procedures for permitting clean up activities, inspecting sites and concluding that contaminants have or have not been remediated appropriately. The purpose for having the developer prepare the EAW submittal and pay for our consultant's costs to review it is to prevent those costs from being borne by the taxpayers. The developer will pay for our consultant's analysis of their submittal, which will be performed under the City's direction, so the developer has no control over the outcome. In order for them to get the best outcome from their standpoint, it is in their interest to submit an EAW document that is as complete as possible and to have their remediation plans well defined. That is also in the interest of the neighbors, the City, the County and everyone else who is related to the prospective project. As to your conversation with Mr. Kinney, I was not a party to it, but I always believe that there are two sides to a story. From having worked with George in the past, I know him to be thorough and very knowledgeable about the best means of achieving compliance with environmental standards. While the map on the County web site may or may not show all of the sites where different materials may have been dumped over the last twenty to thirty years, at this point, the EAW process is the best way for the issues to be fleshed out, for the public to analyze and comment on the completeness and adequacy of the document and for the Council to make a decision on the environmental review. To date, we have advised the developer of their obligation to prepare and submit the EAW form. When that is received, we will refer it to our consultant to begin the analysis and public input process. We will continue to answer questions and provide information as we are able, but at this point it is most productive to use the EAW 9/15/2004 i% Page 2 of 2 process that was petitioned for and approved by the Council as the best means of surfacing and addressing issues. I hope that this responds to your concerns. If you have questions that are not answered here, please let me know and we will continue to respond to your concerns.

Mark Filipi, Joe Bari, Richard Pletcher, Margo Danner, Muhammad Lodhi, and Duane Hansen. Members Dorothy Peterson and Phil Belfiori were not present. Staff present included Paul Olson, Parks Superintendent, Jeff Asfahl, Recreation Superintendent, Gregg Hove, City Forester, Eric Macbeth, Water Resources Coordinator, and Adam Nelson, Parks and Recreation Intern, and Cherryl Mesko, Administrative Coordinator/ Recording Secretary. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Richard Pletcher moved, Joe Bari seconded, with all present members voting to approve the agenda as presented. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF JULY 19, 2004 Liza Perry moved, Margo Danner seconded, with all present members voting to approve the minutes of July 19, 2004 as presented. VISITORS TO BE HEARD There were no visitors in the audience that wished to address the APrC on matters not on the agenda. RECOGNITION - DISC GOLF COURSE DESIGNERS BILL AND IAN ASHTON Superintendent of Parks Paul Olson provided a background into the 9-hole disc golf course at Northview Park. He mentioned that Bill Ashton and his son Ian Ashton were responsible for the design of the course, and worked with Dakota Hills Middle School on a curriculum. Ashton expressed appreciation for the opportunity given to him by the Parks Commission and staff to bring disc golf to Eagan. He noted it is the 90th course in Minnesota. He discussed the work he did with the school to develop a physical education program around disc golf. He also noted that there is room for an additional 9 holes. Chair Davis thanked him for helping bring this to Eagan. Member Bari thanked him for his work and effort, and asked how much use the course has been getting. Ashton said that there are no numbers available, but the paths are well worn. Member Danner said the course is being heavily marketed in schools, and she would like to see better signage. Ashton mentioned the disc golf course section on the City's web site. Olson said signage is the next evolution to bringing awareness of the course. WHEP ANNUAL REPORT Water Resources Coordinator Eric Macbeth reviewed the background of the WHEP program and introduced Mr. Goodwin who has been working on this project for 7 years. He said training for the project starts in May, and wetland sites are visited during June and July. He reviewed how samples are obtained and reviewed. He said they are looking at diversity of the wetlands, which is a sign of good health. He said invertebrate diversity at Cedar Pond, Central Park, and Moonshine Park were poor, vegetation at Cedar Pond and Moonshine Park was good, but poor at Central Park. He said overall Cedar Pond is in good shape, Aldrin Road is in good shape, Moonshine Park will be under review again next year, Central Park's pond is in poor shape. Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of the Regular Meeting of August 16, 2004 Page 2 Member Lodhi asked what trend WHEP is seeing overall. Goodwin said in reference to Aldrin, the constituted wetland is improving, as is Cedar Pond. Member Danner asked what goal the group was trying to achieve. Goodwin said citizen involvement. Additionally, it provides the City with data that can help them improve the wetlands. SUPERINTENDENT'S UPDATE AND DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS Superintendent of Parks Paul Olson presented recent events in the Parks Division.

Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of the Regular Meeting of August 16, 2004 Page 3 INTERN REPORT - ADAM NELSON Superintendent of Recreation Asfahl introduced Parks and Recreation Intern Nelson, and provided a brief overview of Nelson's study. Nelson described his project as a tool/ guide for park event planning, listing crucial inventory details at athletic and event-prone sites. He said it provides an insight as to the type of events that can be hosted, while keeping the information understandable. He provided an overview of methodology, by field visits to survey the parks and verify information, and working with GIS generated information to label maps accordingly. He detailed the type of information gathered for each site, including: • Parking • Electricity • Restrooms • Other amenities such as • Water playgrounds, ice rinks, and batting • Field amenities such as bleachers, tunnels. backstops, and scoreboards • Picnic areas Nelson showed a sample page from the upcoming final report, and reviewed the goals of the project; to provide electronic access to site information, to provide a basis for future updating, and to make the data readily available to City employees. Member Lodhi asked if this information might be included on the City web site for public access, and whether the report might include other athletic sites. Member Danner said the findings may provide a good resource for the Park System Plan update. Superintendent Asfahl said other data such as base distance would be applied to the study as well. Member Filipi suggested adding data about which fields are lit. Nelson said this information would be incorporated. Chair Davis suggested the information gathered can serve as a basis for use, and that investigation into the maximum potential use and amenities that might be needed in that scenario may be useful. He said the report is a good foundation for staff, and to consider what else might be needed if the report were to be available on the web site for public viewing. CONSENT AGENDA Member Filipi moved, Member Ban seconded, with all present members voting to recommend the alternatives presented regarding the parks dedication, trails dedication, tree preservation, water quality, and wetlands issues associated with the Clubview Addition proposal. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS Sycamore Place - EPIC Development Superintendent of Parks Paul Olson provided background on the Sycamore Place development, a preliminary subdivision of 6 acres to create 9 single family lots on property located north of the dead end street of Sycamore Court in the SE'/4 of Section 36. This property has appeared before the APrC before, with a different proposal. Olson reiterated that the issue before the APrC is water quality, not water quantity. City Forester Gregg Hove reviewed the tree inventory, noting the proposal calls for 68% removal, a total of 142 trees, stating the previous plan called for 145 trees to be removed. He noted that this exceeds the 40% removal allowed by ordinance, and that the required tree mitigation is 66 Category A trees. Hove noted the applicant has proposed the installation of 66 Category A trees in their Tree Replacement Plan. Water Resources Coordinator Eric Macbeth reviewed the wetland issues associated with the site. He stated that the wetland disparity shown on the previous plan has been resolved, there will be less impacts to the wetlands and no off-site banking associated with this plan, and all replacement is proposed to be on-site. He noted the proposed wetland restoration in the northern portion of the site, and said that the plan submitted by the developer Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of the Regular Meeting of August 16, 2004 Page 4 fulfills state wetland replacement requirements. He said the City Council will review the proposal on September 6, and public comment will be welcome until September 10. Macbeth reviewed the recommendation alternatives pertinent to water quality. Member Pletcher asked where fill was going that was dug from the excavation area. Member Bari asked about the wetland to the south, and whether it encroaches on the lots. Macbeth said it is a fill area, not a wetland. Chair Davis asked what the bigger wetland area would look like. Macbeth said the area around the wetland would be naturalized, this will protect functionality. Chair Davis asked whether it wouldn't be better to get the water moving through the wetlands to maintain their integrity. Macbeth said the water won't be able to flow to the north and then go to the wetland because of the grade. Macbeth said the proposal meets the City's minimum requirements. Chair Davis asked where the water was treated after leaving the site. Macbeth said it drains to the west in the existing storm system. Member Danner asked if the new amount of wetland fill is less than that shown in the previous proposal. Macbeth said yes, it is. Rich Ragatz of EPIC Development, LLC, explained how the plan had been reworked. He said the plan previously showed 14 lots to be created, but that this has decreased to 9 lots. He said all wetland replacement would be done on site, that there is no off-site banking. He said the on-site pond is planned to be oversized to reduce impact. He said tree mitigation would also be done on-site. He said there would be about 23,000 cubic yards of fill and approximately 10 days of hauling. He opened that the end product will be good based on input received. Chair Davis said he likes the changes made to the proposal. Member Danner asked what kind of fill would be used. Ragatz said it would be good load-bearing fill, that the wetland excavation fill would not be used for load bearing on the site. Chair Davis asked why water can't be treated through the wetlands to the north and then routed back south before going west. Ragatz said they wanted to minimize the amount of imported fill on the site, that going north then south would require extra grade change. Chair Davis said that a swale would need to be filled in order to move water to the north toward the wetland, and asked if this might be more desirable. Macbeth said there needs to be an emergency drainage overflow on the east. Chair Davis said he was looking at how better to treat the water on-site. Macbeth said that under normal conditions, water will not leave the site. Craig Murray, 4817 Weston Hills Drive, said he appreciates the work done to date, and noted that if the 570' cul-de-sac were shortened, that lot 3 could be eliminated to decrease the potential for flooding. He asked if the skimmer could be screened. Tom King, 4800 Weston Hills Drive, said the new wetland to the north will be part of a private lot, and asked who would be responsible for monitoring it. Macbeth said the developer would be responsible, but the City would review it. King asked what control there is to maintain the wetland in the long term, what safeguards were in place Deane Parks said she has lived at her property for 9 1/2 years, and contends the wetland is operational as it currently exists. She said the new plan would impact trees, wildlife and the drainage of water. Bill Hannon, 4804 Weston Hills Rd expressed concern for the tree removal (noting removal would be almost 70%) and likened it to removing 7 APrC member, and replacing them with 3 ten year olds. He asked if there was something more than can be done. Todd Sogge, 4830 Sycamore Court said a development in Inver Grove Heights is proposed adjacent to this development, with a swale that will move water to the west. He has a concern about drainage into surrounding property. Tom Nelson, 4824 Weston Hills Drive, asked where the mitigation trees go. Chair Davis said up to a certain percentage of trees were slated for removal, and that category A trees are 4" diameter. Hove said the wetland trees are taking over the site, and the size of the oaks is limited on such a wet site. Chair Davis asked if all mitigation would occur on-site. Member Danner asked where the most impact for tree loss occurs. Hove identified locations as requested. Chair Davis asked if the road were shortened, would there be less tree loss. Hove said it would be not be significant. Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of the Regular Meeting of August 16, 2004 Page 5 Member Lodhi asked if development would affect the existing homes on Weston Hills Drive, wetland- wise. Macbeth didn't see any significant impact. Chair Davis asked if the wetland would be part of Lot 3. Ragatz said they might want to put a conservation easement around the wetlands to protect it. Superintendent Olson said it was common for ponds on properties to have easements around the water bodies. Macbeth said the Wetland Conservation Rules require protection of replacement areas through perpetual conservation easements. Superintendent Olson said shortening the cul-de-sac may actually impact more trees rather than reduce the impact. Member Danner noted that lots 3 and 4 divided the wetlands, that those provide protection for existing homes. Ragatz said trees would be removed from both east and west, and homes to the west were constructed on a wetland and filled, leaving this site lower and difficult to develop. He noted one home slopes 10' to the wetland so it shouldn't affect the flow. Craig Murray said if lot 3 weren't included in the plan, conditions may be better, that if impact is not minimal, houses would be subject to flooding. Chair Davis said lot 3 is not the problem regarding directing water through the wetland to the north. Member Danner asked how close the house on lot 3 is to the wetland. Ragatz said 50' is the closest distance. Member Filipi moved to recommend approval of the plan to City Council, with eight conditions. Chair Davis seconded. All present members voted to approve the motion. Member Danner asked staff to clarify alternative number 7, "Any approval of the wetland replacement plan at the September 7 City Council meeting may need to be contingent on public comments received by September 10, 2004." Water Resources Coordinator Eric Macbeth said that the public comment period ends after the City Council is scheduled to make its decision. Chair Davis asked whether since public comment was ongoing, will this proposal go back to the City Council after the comment period. Member Filipi noted that the proposal worked within the City's regulations, and their previous request for wetland banking on-site were heard by the developer and changes were brought back to reflect this concern. OLD BUSINESS There was no new business for the Advisory Parks Commission to discuss under this agenda item. NEW BUSINESS There were no items under New Business for the APrC to review. WATER RESOURCES UPDATE Water Resources Coordinator Eric Macbeth said the Moonshine Park project was moving forward positively. OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES Chair Davis set a Recreation Subcommittee meeting to look at informational reports provided by the Recreation Supervisors on how often they report and the general content of reports. The group will look at timing and content of presentations. Recreation Superintendent Jeff Asfahl said reports are presented to provide the APrC with a general background of recreation division issues. Davis said the visibility is good for the APrC and the supervisors, but need to be less general and more specific. Member Danner suggested including information about how a program is evaluated, and perhaps a 5 year program review. Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of the Regular Meeting of August 16, 2004 Page 6 ROUND TABLE Member Danner asked about progress on Holz Farm. Superintendent Olson said the barn siding had been replaced, and water was being tied into the site. ADJOURNMENT With no further business to conduct, Richard Pletcher moved, Margo Danner seconded with all members voting in favor to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Secretary Date Minutes drafted by: Beth Wielde, Part-time Research and Special Projects.
