Workshop to review packet format/content MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARK COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARK AND RECREATION RE: JANUARY COMMISSION MEETING AGNEDA Enclosed is the January Commission Agenda for your review. This month's agenda is relatively brief, although there is the potential for an additional item being added at the meeting. As always, if you have questions in advance of the meeting or are not able to attend, please let us know. Item A. Call to Order and pledges of Allegiance. Item B. Approval of Agenda Item C. Approval of the Minutes of December 18, 2000. The minutes of the meeting of December 18 are prepared for review, and if correct, a motion to approve is in order. Item D. Visitors to be heard. Staff is not aware of any visitors wishing to appear at this time. Item E. Department Happenings The Director of Parks and Recreation will report on some of the department's actions during the past month. Item F Consent Agenda. Unless there is a motion to pull this item for review, a motion to approve is in order. This item pertains to the department submitting a planning grant application under the Metro Greenways heading. A memo is provided for your review. • Item G Development Proposals There are three items for Commission review and action. Planning reports have been submitted for each of the proposals and are included in the packet. The Commission may recall seeing a preliminary application for Glen Pond 2nd previously. The Council previously approved the preliminary application, however, the applicant has submitted a second application that does not show the ring road as part of this plat since an agreement over the ring road has not been completed between the owner and City. Consequently, the Commission needs to review this new application. The third item is for a variance, which the Commission rarely reviews as they seldom involve park issues. In this case, Planning staff has identified issues that the Commission may wish to make a recommendation. Item J Water Resources Update Water Resources Coordinator Eric Macbeth will bring the Commission up to date on current projects he is working on. Item K Superintendents Reports Recreation and Parks will provide an update on seasonal activities of the department for the past weeks as well as some issues currently being dealt with. Item L Other Business and Reports: The regular Commission meeting date in February conflicts with the Presidents Day holiday, therefore a date change is required. Staff is recommending that the Commission again follow past practice by scheduling the meeting the preceding Thursday; February 15. The Commission will need to take action to set this date. Staff will provide the Commission with an update on the 2001 projects planned for this year. Members may be aware that the Council did not approve the funding for the infrastructure work at North Park originally scheduled for this year. However, given the delay in approvals from the State and County, it has become very unlikely that that work could have begun this year. With a new 5-year CIP program (2002-2006) the Commission will want to address this issue. Staff is recommending that at the February Commission meeting, a sub-committee be formed to begin addressing the new five-year program for adoption in march. Item M Round Table For items not requiring action but of interest to Commission members. Item N Adjournment I am disappointed to report that Daryle Peterson and Barb Johnson did not seek reappointment to the Commission. Department staff wants to thank them for their guidance and hard work on behalf of the community during the time they did served on the Commission. We wish them the best of everything. Respectfully submitted, Ken Vraa Z DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS • A meeting of the Lebanon Hills Stakeholders Task Force was held on Thursday January 0. Superintendent of Parks, Paul Olson, represented the City at the meeting. The Consultant presented a final concept plan that reflected the input gathered at previous meetings of the Task Force. The public is invited to review the plan at an open house to be held at Camp Sacajawea on January 17th at 7:00 P.M. The current schedule calls for the plan to be reviewed by the County Board on February 27th. County staff is developing a process for local community review. • The cold weather, though uncomfortable, has allowed staff to create the best outdoor rink ice the City has had for several years. After working a 4:00A.M. to 12:30P.M. schedule over the holiday period, maintenance staff has shifted to a 6:00A.M. to 2:30 P.M. work shift for the remainder of the rink season. The Class A rink sites (double rinks and Clearwater) will be maintained over the upcoming weekends, weather permitting. The removal of snow from the rinks has been delayed on several occasions because maintenance staff has been needed to assist with the removal of snow from streets and cul-de-sacs. • Dakota County has begun grooming x-c ski trails in several City parks under the terms and conditions of the new grooming contract. Staff has noted that walkers are also using the groomed paths, which in some instances has obliterated the ski track. Staff is exploring options with the County to modify the groomer to create a winter walking path on one side of the trail and ski track on the other. Heavy use at the Trapp Farm tubing hill has already created ruts that have been smoothed out by the County under the same contract. • The process of renewing the residential leases for the City owned houses located within park area is complete. All of the leasee's who occupied the houses during 2000 chose to renew for the year 2001. The houses are located within Moonshine, Patrick Eagan and Holz Farm parks. The lease for the Art House in Patrick Eagan Park is currently being reviewed. • A contract with Dakota County for the provision of Sentence to Service (STS) work crews will be presented to the Council for renewal at their meeting of January 16th. The City has utilized the STS crews for a variety of projects including spring cleanup, rink painting, landscaping and trail installation. This will be the 11th year of the contract. • Prior to the Park Commission meeting of December 18th, several of the Commissioners met to discuss the Dakota County Draft Park System Plan. Staff has summarized the discussion and forwarded the information to the County. • The MPCA is in the process of drafting what will hopefully be the final response to the City's mitigation proposal for the North Park site. Once agreement has been reached, staff will begin the coordination of the mitigation process and the refinement of conceptual designs. • The approved 2001 operating budget includes funding for a variety of building upgrades at numerous sites. They include furnace and carpet replacements, lighting improvements, reroofing, door and frame replacements. Staff has begun the process of securing materials and scheduling the work. • Winter leagues began the fast week of January. For the first time in 4 or 5 years, the outdoor leagues will have excellent ice to start out the season. • Planning for summer softball is in full swing. BASE (Burnsville, Apple Valley, Savage and Eagan) league directors and umpires met to discuss the 2001 season and fees. Information will be available to teams by the beginning of February. • A committee of Recreation Division personnel has been polishing the sponsorship program details. We are expecting to present the program to the City Council this month. • The writing deadline for the Spring / Summer Discover Us brochure is January 19. The brochure is scheduled to be distributed to Eagan residents the week of February 19. • Numerous requests are coming in for field use for this coming summer. It appears that once again, Eagan facilities will play host to various youth and adult tournaments and events. • Staff are working towards the purchase of a portable concessions trailer that we will own and operate. 3 Date: 1/9/01 Agenda Item: Fl; Metro Greenway Planning Grant Application t City of Eagan Action X Parks and Recreation MEMO Information Attachments AGENDA ITEM: F-1; 2001 Metro Greenways Planning Grant TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION PREPARED BY: Gregg Hove, Supervisor of Forestry Paul Olson, Superintendent of Parks j ITEM OVERVIEW: Recommend to city council a resolution authorizing staff to submit a "Metro Greenways Planning Grant" application for the creation of an inventory and management plan of existing natural resources and greenways. - BACKGROUND/HISTORY: Recognizing the importance of "planning for nature" in the face of urban growth, the 1998 Minnesota Legislature established the Metro Greenways Planning Grants Program. This Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' program focuses on identifying, protecting, restoring, connecting, and managing a metro-wide network of regionally and locally significant natural areas and open spaces. Specific program goals involve assistance to local communities to inventory remaining natural resources and plan for connection of fragmented landscapes by ecological corridors. This program also supports the coordination of implementing agencies and other organizations working across jurisdictional boundaries to help develop an interconnected regional greenway network. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is offering grants to communities in the seven- county metro region to help them develop comprehensive natural resource inventories and management plans. Grants are available up to a maximum of $30,000.00. An equal match is required in the form of cash or in-kind services. The average grant size is $14,000.00. DISCUSSION/EVALUATION: With assistance of the Metro Greenways Grant, the city proposes to conduct a resource inventory, develop a method of assessing the condition and health of the remaining natural resources, to create a strategy of management activities for the enhancement and preservation of the remaining natural resources and remnant greenways, and to plan for the implementation of recommended management. The final action of this program may include the creation of natural resource easement program to ensure preservation of natural land areas, the restoration of existing greenway areas, and the creation of natural connections between existing greenways. This program will also be utilized to identify trends in the health of Eagan's natural resource base.. Assessment methodology will be designed to be repeated at regular intervals, allowing for the comparison of results. The comparison analysis can then be used to determine if the health and quality of Eagan's natural resource base is improving or declining. Long-term management decisions will be based upon these trends. 4 ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: To recommend to city council a resolution authorizing staff to submit a "Metro Greenways Planning Grant" application to the Department of Natural Resources for the creation of an inventory and management plan of existing natural resources and greenways.

Grading Plan 5.Utility Plan 6. Tree Preservation Plan AGENDA ITEM : G-1; FINCH PLACE 7. Reforestation Plan 8. Density Calculations TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION PREPARED BY: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION j ITEM OVERVIEW: Review the parks dedication, trails dedication, tree preservation, water quality and wetlands issues that pertain to the Finch Place development. BACKGROUND/HISTORY: Basic Builders, Inc. is requesting approval of a Preliminary Subdivision (Finch Place) to create 23 lots on 12.59 acres located at 4790 South Robert Trail, north of Red Pine Lane and east of Hwy. 3 in the E'/2 of Section 36. The property is currently zoned Agriculture, and Rezoning to an R-1, Single-Family Residential designation is proposed. The site is wooded and contains a pond in the northwest corner. There is an existing single family home and a few outbuildings on the site; all of the existing buildings are proposed to be removed. The proposed development consists of 23 lots for the construction of single-family homes. Street access into the site is proposed via two cul-de-sacs from Red Pine Lane. A private street extension of the longer cul-de-sac is proposed to extend to the north adjacent to the railroad right-of-way. A Variance is included as part of the Preliminary Subdivision proposal for a cul-de-sac in excess of 500 feet in length. The public portion of the cul-de-sac is approximately 560 feet in length, and the private portion another 500 feet. The proposed R-1 zoning designation is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan which assigns a D-I, Single-Family Residential land use designation to this property, and the City's Draft Comprehensive Guide Plan, which assigns a LD, Low Density residential land use designation. Exempting the proposed public right-of-way and including credit for the existing pond area on the site as allowed by the City Code, the net density of the proposed development is 2.56 units per acre. The site consists of three parcels, two of which are privately owned, and one that the City acquired in 1995. At the time the City acquired the parcel, it was the City's intention that that parcel would be combined with adjacent property at such time as it developed in the future. For this reason the developer has entered into a purchase agreement with the City to purchase the City-owned parcel and it is included with the development plans for the adjacent property in this proposal. PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION: This development would be responsible for a cash parks dedication and cash trails dedication. TREE PRESERVATION: A tree inventory submitted with this application indicates that there are four-hundred twenty-seven (427) significant trees on site. Species break down is as follows: Species Avg Diameter Dia. Range Count Percent of Total Boxelder 14" 12"-19" 124 29% Quaking Aspen 12" 12"-15" 120 28% Oak 14" 6"- 24" 66 15% The balance of the inventory is comprised of ash, cottonwood, black cherry, elm, birch, and willow with diameter ranges from 6" to 84" (one willow tree measures 84" diameter). The development as proposed will result in the removal of two-hundred seventy (270) significant trees (63.2% 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, single- family residential) is set at 40.0% of the total significant trees (171 trees). With a proposed removal greater than the allowable amount, there will be required tree mitigation for this proposal. The required tree mitigation calculates to one-hundred thirteen (113) Category A trees or two-hundred twenty-six (226) Category B trees or four-hundred fifty-two (452) Category C trees, or an equivalent combination of the three categories. The applicant has submitted a tree mitigation plan that shows the installation of one-hundred twelve (112) Category A trees. A revised tree mitigation plan will need to be submitted that shows complete mitigation of 113 Category A trees. According to the City of Eagan Tree Preservation Ordinance, exception from strict compliance with allowable removal standards may be permitted by the city "when practical difficulties or practical hardships" exist. The applicant has been requested by staff to provide information pertaining to their request for this exception. At the time of this report preparation, no information had been received. The APrC may desire to discuss this issue (i.e. why a development proposal cannot be submitted that results in tree removal within allowable limits). WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS: Water Quality Issues This..12.6-acre_development,would.belocated in the.City's L-watershed. which.isinthe southeast corner of Eagan and which is most closely associated with Fitz Lake. In fact, the entire parcel is within the shoreland overlay district of Fitz Lake, which is state-protected waterbody and which is classified as Class II-Indirect Contact Recreation by the City's water quality management plan. The proposed development would need to meet the City's water quality requirement to treat_stormwater_runoff from.the_ site:..The development proposes to do so by. directing_stormwater.to.two treatment basins to be constructed on the site. Requirements_for_volume.and_area.of water_.quality. treatment.pondsare.based.on the_impervious proportion of proposed developments i.e. land covered by buildings, parking lots, driveways. and walks). Of the 12.6 acres of the site, 19 e~ rcent is proposed to be impervious. Therefore, a minimum wet-pond volume.of O.67_acre-feet covering, an_ area. of 0,29._acres.wouldbe needed to treat the stormwater generated by this development. 7 Wetland $ The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) classifies the 2.5-acre wetland associated with this development as a protected public water wetland. Any proposed activities occurring below the ordinary high water level of the wetland are subject to review and potential permit by the DNR. The waterbody is also classified as Class IV Wildlife Habitat by the City's water quality management plan.. Under the classification system of the Fish and Wildlife Service, the wetland is a Type 4. Type 4 wetlands are inland deep fresh marshes in which the soils 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. The wetland falls under state jurisdiction_of the Public Waters Permit Program of the DNR and under federal jurisdiction of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act-administered by the U.S. Army_Corps of Engineers,. Any proposals_to drain, fill, or excavate within the boundaries of this wetland needs to meet the provisions of these programs. This development is proposed not to impact the wetland directly by draining, filling, or excavating. However, to meet its water quality requirement to treat stormwater runoff from the site, this development_is proposed to _disturb some.of the .30-foot buffer area of the wetland, near one of the proposed stormwater treatment basins. Grading of backyards for seven of the proposed homes also would disturb some of the 30-foot wetland buffer. From a water quality perspective, City staff has concerns about the encroachment and disturbance of the wetland buffer by grading of backyards, and would be interested in having the developer reestablish disturbed buffer areas into native wetland vegetation and institute wetland buffer protection zones as covenants or deed restrictions with lots adjacent to the wetland. Shoreland Zoning Issues The City of Eagan Shoreland Zoning Ordinance (Sec. 11.21 City Code) applies to development of this parcel because it is located within 1,000 feet of the ordinary high water level of state- protected Fitz Lake. Accordingly, average lot areas shall be no less than 15,000 square feet, lot widths shall be no less than 75 feet, structure heights shall be no greater than 35 feet, and impervious surfaces shall be no greater than 25 percent. Erosion Control In several areas of this development, the topography of the site requires proper installation and effective maintenance of erosion control.practices_to prevent and_minimizesoil loss and.mpacts to down-gradient resources and water quality.

Elevations (Typical) TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION PREPARED BY: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION ITEM OVERVIEW: Review the parks dedication, trails dedication, tree preservation, water quality and wetlands issues that pertain to the Glen Pond Phase 2 development proposal. The proposal is a Planned Unit Development that includes a four building apartment complex. A proposal that utilized a portion of the subject parcel was reviewed and by the Park Commission in March. The Commission recommended approval of the proposal subject to several conditions. Though there is already an approved plan for the site, the Commission is being asked to review the current proposal on its own merits. The final approval of a development plan for the site will be made by the Council. Incorporation of the proposed "Ring Road" corridor may be an issue. BACKGROUND/HISTORY: Larry Wenzel, representing Glen Pond Apartments, is requesting approval of a Preliminary Planned Development of approximately 14.2 acres located east of Pilot Knob Road between Marice Drive and High Site Drive in the SW'/4 of Section 10. In May of 1999, Larry Wenzel submitted a similar proposal. However, because of several deficiencies in the plans, that proposal was ultimately denied by the City Council. Subsequently, Mr. Wenzel submitted revised development plans that addressed the deficiencies of the first plan. That plan received Preliminary Subdivision and Preliminary Planned Development approval from the City in 2000. However, the development was predicated upon an exchange of land between the City and Mr. Wenzel to accommodate future City right-of-way through the site, and the parties have been unable to reach agreement as to the terms of that land exchange. Consequently, Mr. Wenzel is now resubmitting development plans that encompass only that land which he currently owns (Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, Effress Addition). Similar to the May 1999 proposal, this most recent proposal does not accommodate the future right-of-way. Regardless, the Advisory Parks Commission should review and make recommendations relative to the park, recreation and natural resource aspects of this development proposal as it is presented. ii The site consists of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Effress Addition. Lot 2 contains a large wetland (Pond CP-5) and Lot 1 comprises the balance of the site. The site is wooded and appears to primarily consist of softwood deciduous trees. There is little variation in topography and there is a small wetland located just east of Pond CP-5. This smaller wetland is proposed to be excavated to provide stormwater ponding for the new development. Multiple driveway accesses to Marice Drive are shown, as well as a driveway connection to the parking lot serving the adjacent existing apartment and community buildings. Effress Addition was platted in 1970. The existing Glen Pond Apartments were constructed in 1974 and contain 297 units (186 one-bedroom, 108 two-bedroom, and 3 efficiency). The Preliminary Planned Development proposes four apartment buildings consisting of 228 units (36 efficiency, 72 one-bedroom, 100 two-bedroom, and 20 three-bedroom). Underground parking at a ratio of one stall per unit is proposed, with another 228 stalls of surface parking; parking stalls are 9' x 18'. The site plan shows three specified recreation areas, totaling 46,242 square feet. This area is just short of the required amount of 47,600 square feet for the unit mix proposed. PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION: Trails: The development would be responsible for a cash trails dedication Parks/ Open Space: Multi-family residential developments are required by zoning ordinance to provide 300 square feet of open space for each unit. While the zoning regulations dictate the amount of open space required it does not regulate the quality of the open space. The current proposal includes 238 new units which equates to a need for 71,400 square feet of open space. The dedicated "recreation space" on the current plan is divided between three on site locations totaling 46,242 square feet in area. There may be some question regarding the usability of portions of the recreation space due to the existing slopes. The total "green area" of the plan, including ponding areas, is 443,985 square feet or 71% of the site. The Commission may want to consider that portions of the site be regraded so as to be made more usable and that additional open space/recreation area be designated on the plan TREE PRESERVATION: A tree inventory submitted with this application indicates that there 298,049 square feet (6.8 acres) of significant woodlands on site. Species composition of the woodlands includes mostly softwood deciduous trees (cottonwood, boxelder, and willow) in the diameter range of 3" to 12". The existing woodlands are evenly scattered over the entire site. The development as proposed will result in the removal of 205,3.74 square feet (4.7 acres) of significant woodlands (68.9% 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-family residential) is set at 47.5% of the total significant trees (141,573 square feet of significant woodlands). With a proposed removal greater than the allowable amount, there will be required tree mitigation for this proposal. The required tree mitigation calculates to one- hundred twenty-seven (127) Category A trees or two-hundred fifty-five (255) Category B trees or five-hundred ten (510) Category C trees, or an equivalent combination of the three categories. 12 The applicant has submitted a tree mitigation plan that shows the installation of two-hundred fourteen (214) Category B trees on the proposed development site. As required by city ordinance, these mitigation trees are in addition to any required landscape material. The applicant has also indicated that the balance of the required tree mitigation will be fulfilled through the installation of forty-one (41) category B trees on surrounding properties (adjacent properties owned by the applicant). An additional tree mitigation plan shall be submitted showing the size, species, and proposed location of these additional mitigation trees. According to the City of Eagan Tree Preservation Ordinance, exception from strict compliance with allowable removal standards may be permitted by the city "when practical difficulties or practical hardships" exist. The applicant should provide information pertaining to their request for this exception. At the time of this report preparation, no information had been received. The APrC may desire to discuss this issue (i.e. why a development proposal cannot be submitted that results in tree removal within allowable limits). WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS: WATER QUALITY This 14.2-acre development is located in the City's C-watershed and will generate stormwater that, after routing through a series of nutrient traps and sediment basins, will eventually reach Gravel Pit Lake (CP-9), one of the City's waterbodies ranked as Class II-a priority classification for indirect contact recreation. The proposed development will meet the water quality requirements of the City by establishing a treatment pond. The size and volume of water quality treatment ponds are based on the proportion of proposed developments that is impervious (i.e., covered by buildings, parking lots, driveways, and walks). In this case, 28.3 percent of the proposed development is impervious. Therefore, a minimum wet-pond volume of 1.0 acre-feet covering an area of 0.38 acres is required to treat stormwater generated by the entire 14.2-acre development. WETLANDS There are three wetlands associated with this site. One wetland is located in the northeast corner of the development. This is a non-natural, unprotected wetland. The other two wetlands are natural. The larger wetland to the west (City Pond CP-5, a.k.a. wetland "A") is a 3.55-acre, open-water wetland. Under the classification system of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, this is a Type 5 wetland. Type 5 wetlands are open shallow ponds in which the water is usually less than 10 feet deep. A border of vegetation, such as cattails, often fringes them. The smaller wetland to the east (wetland "B") is a 0.3-acre, low-lying fresh meadow. This is a Type 2 wetland, which is an inland fresh meadow in which soil usually is without standing water during most of the growing season but is waterlogged within at least a few inches of the surface. The dominant vegetation often consists of reed canary grass, sedge, and sandbar willow. The two natural wetlands are under the jurisdiction of both the Wetland Conservation Act of Minnesota (WCA)-administered locally by the City-and Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act-administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Any proposals to impact either wetland by draining or filling or to impact wetland "A" by excavating need to meet the provisions of these laws. Excavation of wetland "B," although not specifically regulated by 13 1 i 1 WCA, is subject to a determination of no-loss as well as a review by the Corps of Engineers. This development is proposed not to drain or fill either wetland. The development, however, is proposed to excavate essentially the entire 0.3 acres of wetland "B" to create the required stormwater treatment pond for the site. The developer will need to submit a no-loss determination application with the City and a detailed excavation and grading proposal to the Corps, which will initiate a 30-day public review before the activity is permitted and can proceed. ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: 1. To recommend approval of the preliminary plat and PUD subject to conditions and terms including: 0 Require that a cash parks dedication be met. d Require. that a cash trails dedication be met. 0 Require that the developer provide sufficient usable open space for informal recreational opportunities ? Water quality requirements will met through creation of a treatment pond (using NURP standards) with a minimum wet-pond volume of 1.0 acre-feet covering an area of 0.38. acres. The pond will have a 10:1 slope for the first foot of depth below normal water level, a 3:1 slope for the remainder to a maximum depth of 6 feet, and an outlet skimmer according to City standards; 0 There will be no activities or impacts within the delineated boundary of wetland "A;" ? No excavation or grading associated with creation of the treatment pond will occur before the easements of wetlands "A" and "B," as defined in Exhibit A of the wetland delineation report, are clearly marked in the field and before no-loss determination by the City and before completion of the 30-day public review under Corps of Engineers Section 404 authority. ? Any significant changes to these conditions should warrant an additional review of this development. ? To require that Tree Protective measures (i.e. orange colored silt fence or 4 foot polyethylene laminate safety netting) 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. Where this is not possible, alternative tree preservation measures shall be employed. ? To require that the applicant submit an additional tree mitigation plan indicating complete mitigation fulfillment through the installation of forty-one Category B trees on surrounding properties ? To require that the applicant 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. 2.

USE PERMIT,VARIANCE TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION PREPARED BY: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION j ITEM OVERVIEW: Review the parks dedication, trails dedication, tree preservation, water quality and wetlands issues that pertain to the the request for a Conditional Use Permit and variance by Sure Construction for the development of an office building. BACKGROUND/HISTORY: Sure Construction has submitted plans calling for the construction of a two story, 20,860 square foot office building upon a 1.7 acre site located north of Town Centre Drive and west of Lexington Avenue. To accommodate the proposal, the following approvals are necessary: 1.A Conditional Use Permit to allow an imperv ious surface coverage of greater than 25 percent within a Shoreland Overlay District. 2. A Variance to allow off-street parking stalls less than 10 feet in width (9' widths proposed) The subject site is legally described as Outlots C, Town Centre 100 16th Addition which was platted in 1996. To accommodate the development proposal, the platting of the property into a lot and block will be required. The site is zoned LB, Limited Business which lists "professional offices" as permitted uses. The subject site is currently vacant. The property is relatively flat and holds no significant vegetation or topographical relief. The site lies within the Shoreland Overlay Di: i:t (of O'Leary Lake) and is thus subject to the shoreland related requirements of the City Coa.~o. According to the Code, impervious surface coverage of lots must not exceed 25 percent of a lot except via a conditional use permit. With an impervious coverage of 31 percent, the processing of a conditional use permit is necessary. The Code further states that off-street parking stalls must not be less than 10 feet in width. To accommodate the proposed 9 foot wide stalls, the approval of a variance will be required. This item is scheduled for consideration at the forthcoming January 23th APC Meeting. 15 PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION: The parks and trails dedication requirements appear to have been met at the time of the original platting. Any additional dedication that may be required would be taken as cash. TREE PRESERVATION: There are no tree preservation issues. WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS: The City of Eagan Shoreland Zoning Ordinance (Sec. 11.21 City Code) applies to development of this parcel because the site is located within 1,000 feet of the ordinary high water level of O'Leary Lake, which is state-protected waterbody and which is classified as Class II-Indirect Contact Recreation by the City's water quality management plan. As part of the 1996 development agreement for Town Centre 100 Sixteenth Addition, a stormwater pond was designed and constructed to treat the runoff from Outlots A through C, when those outlots were developed. Therefore, the City's water quality requirements effectively have been satisfied in advance. However, if the development is granted a conditional use permit to exceed the 25 percent imperviousness standard of the City's Shoreland Zoning Ordinance, the City may model increased phosphorus loads to O'Leary Lake, depending upon how much more imperviousness is eventually proposed. If this analysis indicates increased (untreated) phosphorus loads to O'Leary Lake, the development would be subject to a water quality cash dedication to mitigate for that increased phosphorus load. ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: 1. To recommend approval of the request for a conditional use permit and variance: • Any additional park or trail dedication be in the form of cash. • Approval of this development, in terms of City water quality requirements, should be contingent on a phosphorus modeling analysis, which may or may not indicate the need for a water quality cash dedication to mitigate for increased phosphorus loads to O'Leary Lake resulting from imperviousness exceeding 25 percent. 2.

Staff has summarized the year 2001 projects as approved by the Cit Council. BACKGROUND/HISTORY: In the spring of 2000 the Advisory Park Commission developed a 5-year Capital work plan for the years 2001-2005. The year 2005 was added to the existing 2000-2004 Capital Improvement Work Plan as the "new" fifth year. Projects for the year 2000 were considered to be "commitments", based upon previous discussions and subsequent Council approval. At their meeting of December 19th, the City Council reviewed the proposed 2001 C.I.P. projects. All projects were approved other than the installation of infrastructure at North Park which will be reviewed during the design/development process. DISCUSSION/EVALUATION: The following projects, from the 2001 Capital Improvement Project Work Plan developed by the Advisory Park Commission, were approved by the Council for implementation during 2001; *Blackhawk Park; Parking lot security lighting *Northview Park; Parking lot security lighting *Lexington Diffley; Parking lot security lighting *Rahn Park; Hockey rink light system upgrade *Replacement of 2 playground structures (Sites to be determined by staff review and analysis) *North Park; Installation of infrastructure- the approval of this project is pending the development and review of conceptual plans for the site. The planning process will commence upon final approval of the proposed mitigation plan by the MPCA and Dakota County. *Carry Over from 2000; Moonshine Park; planning North Park: site mitigation Staff will soon begin the process of reviewing the 2002-2005 C.I.P. with the Commission. During the review the Commission will have the opportunity to modify the annual work plans 17 based upon the projected level of funding and any needs that may have become evident during the last year. The Commission will also be asked to develop a C.I.P. work plan for the year 2006. ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: This summary is being presented to the Commission for informational purposes. No action is required at this time. Subject to approval ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION EAGAN, MINNESOTA MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 18, 2000 A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks Commission was called to order at 7:00 p.m. on December 18, 2000 with the following Commission Members present: Terry Davis, Cyndee Fields, N. Mark Filipi, Barbara Johnson, Daryle Petersen, Dorothy Peterson and John Rudolph. Members not present included Joseph Bari, Floyd Hiar and George Kubik. Staff present included Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation; Paul Olson, Superintendent of Parks; Jeff Asfahl, Superintendent of Recreation; Gregg Hove, Forestry Supervisor; Eric Macbeth, Water Resources Coordinator; CJ Lilly, Parks Planner; Beth Wielde, Administrative Specialist and Cherryl Mesko, Recording Secretary. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Item L3, Mosquito Control District Update, was moved to follow Item G2, Woodstone Townhomes- Tollefson Development. Terry Davis moved, Barbara Johnson seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the agenda as amended. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20, 2000 Member Rudolph noted the incorrect spelling of his name of page 6. Daryle Petersen moved, Terry Davis seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the minutes of November 20, 2000 as amended. VISITORS TO BE HEARD There were no visitors that wished to address the Commission under this agenda item. DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS Items highlighted by Director Vraa included the opening of the outdoor winter facilities on December 16, the naming of the waterbody near Holz Farm Park as Holz Lake, Holz Farm's old fashioned holiday, coordination of outdoor ice allocation for youth hockey associations, and the recent delivery of two new replacement mowers. CONSENT AGENDA There were no Consent Agenda items for the Commission to review. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS SILICON GRAPHICS Water Resources Coordinator Macbeth introduced this item noting that Silicon Graphics and their representatives had worked very closely with City staff throughout the development proposal process. He noted that the original development designs were significantly modified in order to accommodate existing natural resources. He continued that the subject site presently overlays four outlots over 42.5 acres of land. Coordinator Macbeth then reviewed the water resources issues and recommendations. Forestry Supervisor Hove reviewed the tree preservation issues noting that the largest woodland (316,866 sq. ft.) is comprised of oak, aspen, maple, elm and scattered evergreens. He noted that the developer had done a good job in preservation, which resulted in no mitigation on site. Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of Regular Meeting of December 18, 2000 Page 2 Member Petersen asked if reduction of parking space size was considered with this development proposal. He suggested that the developer consider decreasing the number of parking stalls. Coordinator Macbeth noted that this may be an item that could be flagged for staff to look at. Member Filipi expressed confusion about which lots the buildings were being placed upon. He also asked if there was a drainage easement under proposed building 2. Director Vraa responded that the easement should be vacated and a new description prepared. Following further brief discussion, Barbara Johnson moved, John Rudolph seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following recommendations to the City Council: 1. Tree Protective measures (i.e. orange colored silt fence or 4 foot polyethylene laminate safety netting) shall 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. 2. 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 wit the approved Tree Preservation Plan and placement of the Tree Protection Fencing. 3. To minimize nearby impacts to wetlands "a" and "c", the development would need to be set back at least 30 feet from the delineated boundaries of the wetlands. During and after development, a minimum 30-foot wide buffer of undisturbed, natural vegetation along the wetlands would need to be maintained. 4. All three stormwater treatment ponds shall be constructed according to NURP standards. They should have maximum depths of 10 feet, 10:1 aquatic safety benches from normal water levels, and outlet skimmers according to city design standards. Pond 1 should span 0.4 acres at normal water level and have a wet-pond volume of 1.2 acre-feet above normal water level. Pond 3 should span 0.3 acres at normal water level and have a wet-pond volume of 1.1 acre-feet above normal water level. Pond 4 should span 0.2 acres at normal water level and have a wet-pond volume of 0.7 acre-feet above normal water level. 5. To minimize nearby impacts to wetlands "a" and "c", the development should be set back at least 30 feet from the delineated boundaries of the wetlands. During and after development, a minimum 30-foot wide buffer of undisturbed, natural vegetation along the wetlands shall be maintained. WOODSTONE TOWNHOMES-TOLLEFSON DEVELOPMENT Following a brief introduction by Director Vraa, Planner Dudziak provided a brief background of the proposed development. She noted that the proposal consists of 37 lots for the construction of 36 two-unit townhomes on approximately 10.7 acres located north of Deerwood Drive across from Deerwood Elementary and Blackhawk Middle Schools. She added that the site consists of two parcels, both unplatted, and contains two existing single-family homes and several outbuildings which will be removed with this development. She concluded that a private access easement crosses the central portion of the site from south to north and that this easement is proposed to be terminated with this development. Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of Regular Meeting of December 18, 2000 Page 3 Forestry Supervisor Hove reviewed the tree preservation issues noting that several issues have been resolved with the developer since the report was completed. The applicant submitted a tree mitigation plan that shows the installation of 48 Category B trees on their revised plan. He noted that most areas of concern have been addressed by the developer. After further discussion, Daryle Petersen moved, Terry Davis seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following recommendations to the City Council: 1. This development shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication. 2. This development shall be responsible for a cash trails dedication. 3. Tree Protective measures (i.e. orange colored silt fence or 4 foot polyethylene laminate safety netting) shall 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 both on-site and off-site on private property. 4. If the road stays, the applicant shall be required to submit a revised tree preservation plan and revised grading plan indicating the installation of additional tree protection measures for the northwest corner. 5. If the above is not possible, the installation or shifting of tree protection fencing shall be located to the perimeter of the CRZ as required by ordinance and the submission of a revised Tree Preservation Plan. Where this is not possible, alternative tree preservation measures shall be employed. 6. The applicant shall be required to contact the City Forestry Division and set up a pre-construction site inpsection 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. 7. This development shall meet the City's water quality requirements through a combination of on- site ponding and cash dedication. • The stormwater pond should be constructed to treat 6.3 acres of the site area. It should contain a minimum wet-pond volume of 0.54 acre-feet and should have a minimum area of 0.25 acres. The stormwater treatment pond should be constructed according to NURP standards with a maximum depth of 6 feet, a 10:1 aquatic bench beginning at the normal water level, and an outlet skimmer according to City design standards. • In lieu of ponding to treat stormwater from 3.1 acres of the site, a cash dedication of $4,535 should be required. 8. To minimize nearby impacts to the wetland, the development should be set back at least 30 feet from the delineated wetland boundary. During and after development, a minimum 30-foot wide buffer of undisturbed, natural vegetation along the wetland shall be maintained. 9. The development shall properly install and effectively maintain erosion control practices to prevent and minimize soil loss and to avoid impacts to the wetland. Any inadvertent fill of the wetland greater than 400 square feet (the maximum amount allowed) shall require mitigation, under state wetland conservation authority. 10. Staff shall research and prepare a plan to separate the outlot on the west portion of the site that can be developed in the future OLD BUSINESS SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM Superintendent Asfahl noted that over the past several months work has been ongoing related to the development of an official sponsorship program to be administered by the Parks and Recreation Department. He added that development of a program was discussed at the August 2000 Commission meeting and staff was directed Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of Regular Meeting of December 18, 2000 Page 4 to continue. It was noted that the primary intention for considering this program is the belief that current program offerings lend themselves to community involvement. Asfahl then reviewed the sponsorship program purpose as well as the proposed program guidelines. He noted that the initial targeted program areas for sponsorship included Evening in the Park series, Multicultural Festival and the Eagan Fun Run. In conclusion Superintendent Asfahl asked the Commission to recommend approval of the program and guidelines to the City Council, refer the issue back for further consideration or recommend specific revisions. Member Davis stated he was unclear what the benefit would be to the contributor. He suggested the guidelines be more specific to indicate what benefit the donor would receive for a specific dollar donation. A plaque was suggested for various donations so that the company's customers could see what they had donated. Davis added that contributors like to share what they've given to the community. Member Peterson asked if guidelines would be established to identify how staff will administer this program. Member Davis suggested that both internal and external guidelines be established. He noted that considerable thought needs to be given to how the program will be carried out. Peterson also asked how this information would be distributed to businesses since they do not receive a copy of the City's brochure. Member Rudolph reminded the Commission that the guidelines presented were intended to be a starting point so that continued refinement could bring the sponsorship program closer to fruition. Member Filipi added that staff would need to be prepared to respond to sponsors who question what specific program enhancements would result from their donation. Member Rudolph stated that the person(s) running the sponsorship program would need to have some flexibility in identifying enhancements to a particular program. After further discussion, Dorothy Peterson moved, Terry Davis seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the sponsorship program guidelines as outlined in the packet and let the program grow. Superintendent Asfahl noted that he would include the Commission's suggestions as he continued the refinement of this proposal. NEW BUSINESS SKATEBOARD PARK OVERVIEW Following a brief introduction by Director Vraa, Administrative Specialist Beth Wielde presented and in- depth power point presentation relative to the background and trends in the skateboarding industry. Beth pointed out the trend of increased activity in recent years coupled with requests by Eagan residents to have a more formalized location for this activity. To respond to the interest, the City Council contributed $5,000 towards the collaborative effort to construct a Tier II skate park built near the Burnsville City Hall. Specialist Wielde explained the difference between the various levels of "Tiers" associated with skate parks. In comparing skateboarding injuries to injuries from other popular sports, the National Safety Council and the Consumer Safety Commission in 1996 ranked skateboarding lowest behind volleyball, soccer, ice hockey, football, basketball and baseball. In addressing the option of constructing a skateboard park, Wielde noted that the cost for a moveable structure was approximately $10-25,000. A permanent structure ran approximately $30-100,000. Outdoor hockey rinks were suggested as a potential option. Options for funding discussed by Specialist Wielde included grants, public or private donations, "Adopt a Park" programs, fundraisers and charge fees for "special events" at the skate park. Issues associated with skate parks included vandalism, litter, controversy about charging for the facility, requiring helmet and protective pads in a Tier 1 skate park, negative or detrimental behaviors and noise. Existing Tier I skate parks in Brooklyn Park, Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of Regular Meeting of December 18, 2000 Page 5 Chanhassen, Coon Rapids, Oakdale, and St. Anthony Village were also discussed. The discussion included how the parks were implemented, developed and funded. It was also noted that these parks are not revenue generators but are heavily used. Member Rudolph asked if staff had identified any existing park for a Tier I skate park. Director Vraa responded that staff has not identified a specific location although a Goat Hill Park hockey rink may be a possibility because it already has an asphalt surface. Member Rudolph opined that a Tier I skate park might take the burden off other public property where skateboarding is occurring inappropriately. After further discussion, Dorothy Peterson moved, John Rudolph seconded a motion to recommend that staff investigate whether a Tier I skate park is feasible in the City of Eagan. Emphasis would be placed on not acquiring any new land; funding options and participating youth would need to be identified. Components that might be included and potential locations within Eagan would also need to be determined. WATER RESOURCES UPDATE GCLWMO DIVIDER CURTAIN STUDY Water Resources Coordinator provided an extensive report on the effectiveness of a fabric divider curtain to improve removal of pollutants in two-cell stormwater treatment ponds. Staff has been working with the PCA and DNR in an attempt to determine the effectiveness of this installation. Macbeth noted that two sites in Eagan were identified for this study. One was in an industrial area in the northwest area of the city and the second was near Fitz Lake in the southeast area. The curtain is similar to a sail submerged in the pond approximately 1/3 the distance from the inlet. Sampled results were reviewed both before and after the curtain installation however, the results did not show any improvement. Macbeth continued that a wetland near the Mann Theater has a curtain installed in a different way and this installation will be monitored to see if there are different results. He noted that curtains might be used on a temporary basis for construction sites to intercept run-off before if flows into ponds. Member Rudolph asked if the weed harvester will impact water quality in some of the city's water bodies. Macbeth responded that that was the focus of its use. Member Johnson asked how many ponds the harvester could be used in. Macbeth stated that approximately 6-7 have been identified although there are currently 4 sites where the harvester is regularly used. SUPERINTENDENTS UPDATE Items highlighted by Superintendent Asfahl included winter adult sports, which have approximately 1500 participants, the joint planning efforts of the Arts & Humanities Council and teens for a special event, the opening of the rinks/tubing hill and the planning for spring/summer programs. Items highlighted by Superintendent Olson included the continued planning for Moonshine Park and plans to submit applications for the Metro Greenways Planning Grant and the Outdoor Recreation Grant. He also reminded the public that the parks maintenance staff regularly helps the streets division during winter plowing before they continue their efforts to clear rinks. Advisory Parks Commission Minutes of Regular Meeting of December 18, 2000 Page 6 OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS SENIOR SUMMARY Recreation Supervisor Bolduc updated the Commission on the continued efforts to involve seniors in planning programs. They have been researching a place to meet a few times each week and are discovering how much effort goes into fmding a location that meets their needs. The group is anxious to continue meeting and to provide some expanded opportunities for the seniors in the community. SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES There were no subcommittee updates. MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT UPDATE Jim Stark of the Minnesota Mosquito Control District presented an annual report of the District's services to the City of Eagan during 2000. The report included the larval mosquito control of 652 acres and adult mosquito control of 2,087 acres. Parks receiving adult mosquito treatment included Blackhawk, Bridle Ridge, Carnelian, Downing, Central, Peridot Path, Rahn, Sky Hill, Slater Acres and Wescott Station. Mr. Stark added that adult blackfly populations were monitored weekly from May through September in Dakota County and were low compared to other locations in the District. Two small-mammel trap locations were also monitored in Eagan at three different periods during the field season in search of disease-vector ticks and the Lyme Disease agent. Stark concluded that the MMCD makes a commitment to provide an annual update of the year's activities. He also noted that if there were any questions from the public they could be directed to the district office at 651-645- 9149 or via e-mail to jimstark@visi.com. ROUND TABLE Member Rudolph reminded Commission Members of the reception for Councilmembers Masin and Blomquist in recognition of their participation on the Eagan City Council. Commission Members were also reminded to turn in their applications by December 22 if they wished to be considered for reappointment to the Advisory Parks Commission. Member Davis thanked Commission Member Fields for her participation on the Advisory Commission and wished her well in her new role as Councilmember. ADJOURNMENT With no further business to conduct, Dorothy Peterson moved, Terry Davis seconded with all members voting in favor to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m. Secretary Date
