year, bringing in over 50 youth for a three day camp.
• The sewer and water connections at the site of the new service building/pavilion at Thresher
Fields have been installed, still waiting for the grading in advance of the concrete masonry
work.
• The three primary soccer fields at Ohmann Park and the Big Goat baseball infield have been
closed for the fall to allow for turf renovation. Fall activities normally scheduled at those sites
have been moved elsewhere. The Northview soccer field are open again after being rested since
May... they look great.
• It is not too soon to plan on attend the 12th annual Holz Farm Lone Oak Days Celebration.
Many 1940's era activities are planned for 2 fun filled days at the farm on Saturday and Sunday
September 29th and 30th. New this fall will be a presentation from the Raptor Center on Sunday
at 1:00 pm, and Blacksmith demonstrations for both days.
• SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
• Eagan will be hosting the Women's C (7 teams), Women's D Competitive (24 teams) and
Women's D Recreational (17 teams) State tournaments August 18-19 at Northview Athletic
Fields.
• The Rotary band shell has seen a boost in private rentals for August including a four day
church retreat/concert and a full-day rock concert.
• FOSTER HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
• Fall Preschool registrations are still coming in. Many classes are planned for the fall session,
from parent/child classes for the 1 year old to pre-kindergarten classes. All preschool
information is available at www.ciiyofeagan.com/preschool. Preschool begins with an open
house for registered participants on September 6.
• The new playground at Captain Dodd is nearly complete, work will begin soon on the new
playground at Sky Hill Park.
• One hockey rink at both Bridle Ridge and Sky Hill Parks are in the process of being removed.
New (unpaved) rinks will be constructed in their place
• PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCES
• Several of the largest rain gardens have been installed by the Forestry staff adjacent to the
location of the new Patrick Eagan entrance/parking lot. The installation of the new entrance and
parking lot are still scheduled for this fall.
• THE STORM: The wind storm of Saturday August 11 caused significant tree damage in a
number of parks. On the positive side, there appears to have been very little structural damage
to buildings or amenities. All park activities should be able to proceed as scheduled. The lone
exception may be several trail sections which are blocked by trees or closed due to hanging
limbs. The complete clean-up of all downed trees and debris may take many weeks. Parks and
Forestry crews have also been assisting with the clean-up of downed street and boulevard trees.

AGENDA ITEM: VIII-A, BOULDER LAKES BUSINESS PARK
TRAIL DEDICATION
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
I ITEM OVERVIEW: Review the proposed trail plan for the Boulder Lakes development and determine
which trails may have public value and as such be considered for a trail dedication credit.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
Interstate Partners has previously requested approval of a Preliminary Subdivision to create four
lots and two outlots fora commercial Office park upon approximately 85 acres located north of
Lone Oak Road and immediately west of the Inver Grove Heights border in the SE 1/ of Sec. 1.
The development will include seven buildings totaling approximately 662,000 square feet. The
Developer proposes to mass grade the entire site with the first phase of the development. The
subdivision includes a dedication of right-of-way for a new public street extending from Lone
Oak Road through the site and also for a future east-west street along the northern border of the
property. A portion of the road extending from Lone Oak will be constructed in conjunction with
the first phase of development.
The APrC reviewed the entire development proposal at the regular meeting of April 16, 2007.
The unanimous recommendation was for a cash dedication for both parks and trails to satisfy the
dedication requirements.
ANALYSIS:
In the time since the April meeting of the APrC, the City Council requested that the 2007 Park
Dedication formula used to calculate cash park dedications for all developments be modified. The
APrC reviewed and recommended back to the City Council a revised formula that will soon go
into effect.
The formula used to determine Trail Dedication amounts remained unchanged. However, the
APrC was asked to give consideration to financial credit towards the trail dedication for those
trails installed by the Developer that were determined to have "public value".
5
DISCUSSION/EVALUATION:
The concept of allowing credit towards trail dedication for trails installed during a development is
not unprecedented. Should it be determined that all or a portion of the proposed trails have
"public value" the length of those trail in lineal feet is multiplied by a prevailing cost multiplier as
provided by the City Engineering Department. The resulting value is deducted from the estimated
cash trail dedication as calculated for the development.
The general criteria used for determining whether or not a trail, or segments thereof, has public value
include;
• Connectivity: Would the trail(s) provide a link or fill a void in the current or future City trail
system
• Access to amenities: Would the proposed trail(s) provide access to a unique or popular
amenity such as pond, wetland, wood land or a viewing opportunity.
• Recreational opportunity: Would the trail(s) provide a recreational opportunity in a location
that is not otherwise served by a park or other recreational amenity
ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. Recommend that credit be given towards the Trail Dedication for those trail sections in
the Development determined to have public value.
2. Recommend that the Development be responsible for a full cash Trail Dedication
3. Other

AGENDA ITEM: IX-A 2008 -2012 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP)
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR of PARKS & RECREATION
I ITEM OVERVIEW: Review, and consider for approval, the proposed 2008-2012 Park and Recreation
Department Capital Improvement Plan
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
One of the primary responsibilities of the APrC is the annual preparation and updating of the
Departmental Capital Improvement Plan. The CIP serves as a blueprint and planning guide for
park projects. Projects included in the CIP must be either a park development or improvement
project. Projects construed as being maintenance are not eligible. Funding for the CIP comes
from the Park Site Fund (PSF), which is primarily money collected from developments at the
time of platting in lieu of a dedication of land.
ANALYSIS:
Historically the APrC has submitted to the City Council a CIP that consists of the current or
"active" year, generally the year at hand, and projections that encompass a total of five years.
During the review process, the active/current year of the CIP is finalized and a new "fifth" year
is added. To allow sufficient time for implementation, the current year of the CIP is generally
considered to be final while all other years are subject to change as part of future reviews.
The structure of the CIP has generally been driven by the projected ongoing balance of the PSF.
To provide a better view of the future, recent versions of the CIP have opened the "window"
further by including all potential projects. though; they may not be funded for years to come.
There has also been considerable discussion regarding the identification of alternative funding
sources for the CIP.
DISCUSSION/ EVALUATION:
A number of projects in the proposed 2008 CIP represent the continuation of ongoing programs
and initiatives specific to replacement and upgrade. Examples include the replacement of aged
playgrounds, skating rinks and tennis courts. As defined in the 20/20 Plan, these are considered
"fiduciary" responsibilities. Other improvement projects such as those at Patrick Eagan Park are
tied to the implementation of Master Plans.
The CIP also includes two line item allocations that are renewed on an annual basis as needed.
These are the land acquisition "opportunity" fund which would be used to help acquire priority
open space should it become available and the "small projects" fund which is used to complete
10
smaller, unanticipated, capital projects or to help leverage additional financial assistance from an
association or alternative funding source.
2008 Project Summary
• Patrick Eagan Park; Phase II of the implementation of the new Master Plan, primary
focus most likely to be trail improvement, seasonal structures, restoration and signage.
• Playground Replacements (3);Continuation of the ongoing rotational replacement
program. Candidate sites include Rahn, Ohmann and Carlson Lake Parks
• Central Park; Installation of a trail side exercise course and additional seating in the
patio area
• Carlson Lake; Fishing platform removal and construction
• Dakota Hills Middle School; Field Improvements, pending shared funding
opportunity with ISD 196 and EAA (ISD 196 to provide project coordination when
initiated)
• Rink Upgrades; Continuation of the ongoing rotational replacement and upgrade of
rinks at skating sites. Candidate sites include Lexington, Pilot knob and Woodhaven
Parks
• Signage System Upgrade; Second phase of the installation of new entrance signage,
continuing primarily with neighborhood parks, some athletic site signage possible
• Small Projects; Funding for opportunities and need
• Acquisition; Funding for acquisition opportunities
A workshop with the City Council is currently scheduled for August 28th at which time the
APrC will present the 2008-2012 CIP to the Council for their consideration and possible
approval. The focus being on 2008.
SUBCOMMITTEE DISCUSSION/RECOMMENDATION:
The APrC reviewed the proposed 2008-2012 CIP in a workshop held on June 18th. No additional
comments have been received. The attached CIP outline represents the consensus, and
subsequently, the potential recommendation of the APrC
ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. Recommend, to the City Council, approval of the 2008-2012 CIP as presented
2. Recommend approval pending changes
3. Table the issue for further discussion

Jr MEMO
AGENDA ITEM: QUARTERLY RECREATION DIVISION REPORT
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
PREPARED BY: RECREATION SUPERVISORY STAFF
ITEM OVERVIEW: An update and overview of recreation programs for Spring and Summer 2007.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY: The Recreation staff met with the APrC programming sub committee to
share ideas, discuss programming and receive direction from the board during the fall of 2004. As a result
of the meetings, recreation supervisory staff has been invited to share program information on a quarterly
basis. This report is a culmination of all of the recreation program areas including preschool, adult sports,
family, teens and seniors.
Community Events
¦ Holz Farm was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register
is a listing of districts, sites, buildings structures and objects considered to be worthy of
preservation. The property was listed on May 2, 2007. With this recognition, The City of
Eagan is participating in a national movement which aims to preserve, for the benefit of future
generations our cultural heritage. Thanks for the Friends of the Farm who spearheaded this
effort along with City staff for this important step in preserving our heritage.
¦ Eagan Fun Run attracted more than 300 total participants at the annual race, which is the
kick off to the South of the River Recreators Ground Pounders Grand Prix. The event
averages approximately 300 participants annually.
¦ The 13th Annual Eagan Art Festival was held on June 23 and 24. 6,000 visitors attended
the event that featured 100 artisans, food, entertainment and art activities for all ages. The
children's art activity tent attracted 700 children plus parents. The kids created 340 kites,
150 glass bottle mobiles and 200 t-shirts. The Eagan Art House featured artwork of teachers
and students in their gallery tent. New to the event this year was the Art Experience Tent
that offered hands on workshops and demonstrations for all ages. Over 30 people registered
for the workshops that included clay, watercolor, drawing, jewelry making, portrait painting
and cartooning.
24
¦ Market Fest has been a great success. The artisans, produce vendors and entertainment
compliment each other well. Market Fest has been averaging 4-5 artist booths and 9 food and
produce vendors per market. Approximate attendance; June dates 550 and July dates 800
Seniors
¦ Eagan Parks and Recreation now offers a senior adult tennis league. More than 25 people
attended a meeting to discuss tennis opportunities in Eagan and the resulting league boasts
approximately 10 people each Monday morning for friendly play. A lesson program has also
been designed especially for seniors and started in early July.
Preschool
¦ Spring preschool came to a close with two large events, Track and Field Day and the annual
Preschool Picnic. Over 300 hotdogs were served this year and many families came out to
wish their friends and teacher a happy summer.
¦ T-ball had 201 participants that enjoyed hitting, catching and running bases, compared to 208
last year and 400 3-5 year olds are participating in preschool programming, compared to
481 last summer.
Youth and Family
¦ There were 735 children registered at 13 different Summer in the park Sites compared to
706 children in 2006. Games, crafts and fun are all part of the events.
¦ There were 734 children ages 6-12 registered for summer camps that began during the week
of July 23. In 2006, there were 692 registered in similar programs.
¦ Almost 100 participants were signed up for Eaganettes and Eaganettes camp.
¦ Summer tennis was very strong with more than 700 participants in a variety of lessons,
camps, team programs and more. Of the more than 45 lesson offerings, only three were
cancelled throughout the summer. Also very notable was the revised team tennis program
which attracted 60 participants and sent two teams to the USTA sectional championships
during the last week of July. Overall, participation numbers were approximately 75 less than
in 2006, possibly due to the decreased numbers in the number of tennis lessons offered and
fewer participants in the squirts and stars camps.
¦ Spring registrations for the Eagan Art house were 200, up from 107 in 2006. Summer
registrations are 404, up from 370 in 2006.
¦ The Puppet Wagon has had great numbers this summer. After completing the 9th week of
shows, over 2000 people have already been out to enjoy this fun free entertainment. Last
year's total number of participants reached around 1300.
25
¦ Roving Recreation, a program where you can rent the puppet wagon and staff has had 4
rentals this summer. 3 neighborhood parties and a birthday party were the events that the
puppet wagon was rented for, feedback has been very positive.
¦ There were 25 kids in attendance at a new program called "A Day on the Farm" sponsored
by Parks & Recreation and the Friends of the Farm. Participants learned what it was like on a
farm during the 1940's. The children cleaned the house, weeded the vegetable garden, milked
the "virtual" cow, made rope, grinded corn, and took a hayride. Another day with 21 kids is
planned for August 17.
Teens
¦ Oasis drop-in, programs and special event attendance - June 393 and July 149.
¦ Eagan Music Melee was held on June 7th. Approximately 105 youth participated or attended
the event. Jaywalker & the Misdemeanors took 1st place, Soviet Machines 2nd place and 3'd
place was Off.
Upcoming Events
¦ New and Improved Community Corn Feed and Art Sale - Last year's Corn Feed for the
seniors went over so well, and there were enough calls from the general public, that Parks and
Recreation has decided to offer it to the whole community this year. The Eagan Art House
and the Eagan Seniors will offer a Community Corn Feed, art activities and art sale on a
Sunday afternoon in August.
¦ Program Previews: Preschool, September 5, 9:30-11:30; Youth & Teen, September 19`x',
3:00-8:30. At the Community Center.
¦ Extended hours in the Lone Oak Room - Thanks to the Community Development Block
Grant, the Lone Oak Room of the Eagan Community Center will be open late on Thursday
evenings starting in September for adult and senior adult programs. Activities planned for the
new time slot include a potential culinary club, specialty classes, world issue discussion group
and card games.
¦ Lone Oak Days, September 29 & 30
¦ Harvest of Art Exhibit at Rasmussen College opens October 26 with reception and silent
auction.
¦ Halloween Hodgepodge, October 28, 4:00 - 8:00 at the Community Center.

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
There were no Development Proposals for the Commission to review.
OLD BUSINESS
Commercial and Industrial Parks Dedication
Chair Peterson provided background stating the City Council requested that the APrC review the Commercial
and Industrial Parks Dedication formula and fees to better meet the development goals defined by the Council. In a
workshop session prior to the APrC meeting, the Acquisition and Development subcommittee did review and
discuss options and then further reviewed the options with the full Advisory Commission. Following brief
discussion, Member Halvorson moved, Member Bari seconded with all members present voting to recommend to
the City Council that the Commercial and Industrial Parks Dedication formula be changed to reduce the residence
equivalency factor from .5 to .25.
NEW BUSINESS
There were no New Business items for the Commission to consider.
WATER RESOURCES UPDATE
Water Resources Coordinator, Eric Macbeth, provided a brief review of the new Water Quality
Management Plan that the City Council will be considering for future implementation. Macbeth reminded the APrC
that it has been two years since the City decided to update the WQMP. He noted that the plan now deals with both
water quality and wetland management, listed the operating goals and policies, key elements and future
considerations for the Water Quality Management Plan. Macbeth announced that next week there will be a public
hearing at the Advisory Planning Commission meeting. The hearing will focus on the proposed Wetland Protection
and Management regulations that have been proposed to be amended into City code; thus allowing the City to
implement the portion of this plan that relates to Wetland Management. On July 10 the City Council is scheduled to
make a formal decision regarding the WQMP.
Advisory Parks Commission
June 18, 2007
Page 3
From a list of General Administrative Activities, Macbeth identified four possible ways for the APrC to be
involved with the WQMP in the future.
1. Review the Water Quality wetland policies and evaluate if they are sufficient to support City code to allow
the water quality plan to be properly implement, analyze and review the existing code.
2. Develop low impact development incentive programs, looking at ways to develop the city with less of a
stormwater impact than in the past
3. Establish a water quality wetland management plan implementation committee. Review the Shoreline
Management code which is now 10 years old.
