REVIEW PROPOSED 2005 EAGAN CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU (ECVB) BUDGET ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve the 2005 ECVB Marketing Plan and Budget as presented with or without modification. OR Direct the 2005 ECVB Marketing Plan and Budget to the November 16, 2004 regular City Council meeting for adoption as a consent item. FACTS: • At the last ECVB Board Meeting held on Thursday, October 14, the 2005 marketing plan and budget was adopted by the Board for presentation to the City Council. Present at that meeting was Tom Pepper - City Chief Financial Officer. • By agreement, renewed in October 2002, the Eagan Convention and Visitor's Bureau promotes the City as a tourist, conference, meetings, and visitor destination. Its funding source is primarily the City's local lodging tax, supplemented by a small amount of advertising and partnership income. • 2004 Eagan Convention and Visitors Bureau revenues were running 6.5% ahead of 2003 for the first ten months of the year and are slowly returning to pre-9/11 levels. The ECVB Board expects a 3% increase in revenue in 2005. Among other budget highlights: • The 2005 total proposed budget for ECVB, reviewed and approved by the ECVB board, is $735,000 up from $723,500 the year before. • ECVB staff project $719,000 in lodging tax revenues in 2005. • Occupancy is up 7% at 72.99% compared to 68.27% last year at this time. Average daily rate is up 34 cents. • Additional non-lodging tax revenues of approximately $16,000 are expected in 2005. • 59% of the 2005 budget will be spent on marketing • 40% of the 2004 proposed budget is dedicated to personnel and operating costs, with 1 % for equipment and operating reserve HISTORY The City of Eagan reached a revised agreement with the ECVB in October 2001 which, in part, required the Bureau to: • Provide sales and marketing services to attain the maximum benefit for the City's businesses and maximum usage of its hospitality industries; • Provide support for City events which promote the City as a visitor destination; • Produce and distribute Eagan promotional visitor information; • Participate in the enhancement of community amenities that directly impact tourism. • The agreement further required that the ECVB prepare its work plan and budget under the direction of the City's Director of Communication. Both Director Garrison and Chief Financial Officer Pepper have met with Executive Director Carlon to review budget proposals. 2005 INITIATIVES: The Eagan Convention & Visitors Bureau completed a proposed marketing plan following a retreat with the ECVB Board including Councilmember Carlson and Administrator Hedges. The marketing plan has been reviewed and updated through a series of additional meetings. The major 2005 initiatives, as adopted by the 21-member ECVB board, are to: 1. Promote the Eagan Community Center banquet facility, local meeting spaces and festival grounds to event planners and through advertisements in a variety of magazines including Twin Cities Business Monthly. 2. Increase partnerships with the Metro CVB's and Minneapolis South CVB's to greater leverage marketing dollars and capture more leads. 3. Enhance Web promotions and links 4. Develop an enhanced package for sport teams participating in Eagan hosted events and surrounding area tournaments. 5. Establish identity and location STAFF REVIEW: Review and comparison by Director Garrison and CFO Pepper of the 2005 proposed ECVB budget indicates the following: • Over $55,000 to be spent to promote the Eagan Community Center banquet and other meeting facilities an increase of 25% over last year. • Increased promotion in the meetings and corporate meetings market, sports and student travel, • Plans to revise and update the website and saturate the Des Moines and Madison market with vehicle (truck) billboards. • A greater effort to promote all of Eagan's hospitality businesses through the Eagan Extravaganza showcase. • Developing broadcast promotions in Chicago and the Midwest. • Spending less on advertising through co-op advertising with partnering CVB's to offer increased reach at reduced cost. ATTACHMENTS: • A copy of the initiatives for 2005 for marketing the City of Eagan's hospitality industry, and the 2005 budget, refer to the 2005 ECVB Marketing Plan and Budget enclosed without page number. OIL, Agenda Information Memo November 9, 2004, Eagan City Council IV. 2005 CASCADE BAY BUDGET ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: • To provide direction to staff regarding the proposed 2005 Cascade Bay Budget. City Administrator Hedges and Director of Administrative Services VanOverbeke have met with Administrative Assistant Mesko to review the preliminary 2005 Cascade Bay Budget. The preliminary 2005 budget is balanced at $1,170,700. This is an increase of approximately 2.5% or $28,100 resulting primarily from budgeting for continuing consulting services and some minimal repairs related to the problems with the original construction of the facility. More detail is provided in the expenditure section of this memo. Attendance The proposed 2005 budget is based on an estimated attendance of 146,000. The 2004 budget was based on a similar estimated attendance of 146,730 while the actual attendance for 2004 was 100,492. Enclosed on page q_ is a copy of a graph displaying attendance for the six years of operation of Cascade Bay. Enclosed on page is a copy of the attendance histo for 1999 through projected 2005 in broad general categories. Enclosed on page is a copy of a breakdown of attendance by various types of admissions including percentage breakdowns for the years 2001 through 2004. This same information is shown graphically for 2004 on page /Q_. This information demonstrates a continued trend away from the purchase of season passes and movement toward daily admissions. That movement has a tendency to make actual attendance and revenues more weather dependent and the consistent financial base provided by season passes is obviously reduced. The information also continues to demonstrate the importance of group sales as an attendance/revenue source as the groups do not have as much opportunity to react to the weather at the last minute. This premise was reinforced during the past season with the extremely cool August weather. The previously referenced charts/graphs demonstrate that the attendance percentage for groups increased from 11.83% in 2003 to 18.20% in 2004. In gross attendance numbers the charts/graphs also demonstrate that group sales was the only area that did not suffer significant attendance reductions resulting from the cold weather. Experience has increased staffs ability to more accurately budget the operations and to more efficiently run the business. However, in the short term weather and weather forecasts ultimately are the greatest single factors in determining the number of guests coming to Cascade Bay and are a very large determinant in the ultimate financial success of the facility. The 2004 attendance of 100,492 reflects the colder than normal summer and the customer response to those conditions. The results from operations for the 2004 season also reflect both staffs ability to control costs (lowering expenses) when attendance is decreased and the impact of the existing policy to keep the facility open down to a temperature of 62 degrees (increasing costs for customer service/good will). 3 As a reminder, the facility was built based on estimated average attendance of 135,000. The average attendance over the six year period calculates to 145,123. The average for the first five years of operation was 154,049 again showing the impact of the colder year and resulting reduction in attendance. Given the six year operating history and the 2004 experience with a significantly reduced attendance, the breakeven attendance number appears to be a bit less than 135,000 and perhaps in the range of 125,000 to 130,000 at today's user rates. Revenues Enclosed on page is a copy of the detailed revenue projections for 2005. There are no admission rate changes contemplated in the 2005 revenue estimates. Enclosed on page is `a copy of actual revenues for the years 2000 through 2003, a comparison of budgeted and actual revenues for 2004 and the projected 2005 revenues. Also included is a listing of the various admission rates by year for comparative purposes. The admission rates are shown net of the City's sales tax obligation. The season pass rate is a calculated average resulting from the pricing of season passes and the impact of family size. Enclosed on pages ~ and 14 is a copy of the actual rates charged to the customers as displayed on the web site., Enclosed on pages 6 and f~P are copies of graphical representations of 2003 and 2004 revenues broken down by the various classifications. The categories classes/camps and groups show increases while all other revenue categories show the weather related declines. Enclosed on page is a copy of the deposits by day over the entire 82 day season. The table also notes the days the pool was closed (no deposits) and the high temperature for each day. As a word of caution, daily deposits are a reasonable barometer of daily attendance, although there is not a perfect correlation, for example, group sale revenue WIT Id not necessarily be deposited on the day of attendance. Enclosed on page _ is a copy of the top 10 deposit days for each of the 6 years of operations. This information again shows the influence of weather on the financial results of the operation. Enclosed on page is a copy of historical spending per guest over the six years of operation. This information reflects increased admission rates and more concession spending by those in attendance as well as the shift away from season passes to daily admittance. Staff continues to seek ways to generate more revenue and has seen significant gains in revenues from classes and camps. This effort results in additional revenue from time periods where the facility would otherwise not be open. Expenditures Enclosed on pages ~a through is a copy of the proposed line item budget for 2005. For budgeting purposes the personnel complement, both regular and part-time remain at 2004 levels. The City wide organizational study that is underway will address the vacant manager position and may result in a Cascade Bay budget modification upon completion and approval of that study. 4 The total budgeted regular personnel for Cascade Bay is as follows: Proposed Personnel 2002 2003 2004 2005 Aquatic Facility Manager 1 1 1 1 Facility Supervisor 1 0 0 0 Maintenance Worker (2 Q 0.5) 0 1 1 1 Clerical Technician 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.4 2.4 2.4 2.4 2.4 The following are the significant adjustments to the various line items included in the proposed 2005 budget: 6223 Building/Cleaning Supplies is decreased by $1,500 to reflect less usage. 6236 Pool Repair Supplies is increased by $5,000 to provide for more repairs as the facility ages. This account does not contain any appropriation for the major repairs resulting from the construction problem associated with the lazy river. 6244 Chemicals & Chemical Products is increased by $2,000 due to inflationary cost increases of the products. 6310 Professional Services is increased by $26,000 to provide the necessary consulting services for the investigation of and solution to the construction problem. The 2004 budget had previously been increased to provide for some necessary on-going consulting services for maintaining and enhancing the facility. 6385 Insurance is decreased by $7,500 to reflect the current allocation of the City's overall property and casualty and related insurance coverages. 6405 Electricity is decreased by $2,400 to reflect historical costs.. 6410 Natural Gas Service is increased by $6,500 to make the necessary appropriation for increasing cost resulting from inflation in oil prices. 6535 Other Contractual Services is decreased by $2,500 to show a reallocation to 6569 Maintenance Contracts and increased by $5,000 to provide some resources for investigative consulting regarding the construction problem. 6569 Maintenance Contracts budgeted at $4,000 for an increase in these contracts as the facility ages and maintenance requirements increase. Capital Outlay is decreased in total by $9,800 and is financed through the renewal and replacement account ($17,000) and through current operations ($4,800). Consistent with previous years, this proposed budget provides for debt service payments totaling $160,400 on the $1,200,000 borrowed from the housing fund and the $800,000 loan from the Community Investment Fund. The budget does not allocate any funds toward eventual repayment of the $1,000,000 advanced from the Community Investment Fund. The repayment of that $1,000,000 was set up to be a balloon payment after 20 years, subject to the availability of cash reserves. Amortization of that advance would require approximately $85,000 per year over the 20 year period. To date no provision has been made to raise rates or to dedicate retained earnings for this purpose. The calculated renewal and replacement account is funded at $64,600 for 2005. Enclosed on pages 0 ~p and is a copy of the Cascade Bay Renewal and Replacement Schedule. Repairs of Construction Defects The extensive repairs with an estimated cost ranging from $100,000 to as high as $400,000 that may be required as a result of the construction defects on the lazy river are not considered in this budget and cannot realistically be expected to be financed through one year's operating budget. The City's ultimate liability and cost will probably require use of retained earnings at a minimum as one component of the final financing package. Capital Outlay Included in the preliminary 2005 Budget is an allocation of $21,800 for capital outlay. That allocation includes $12,000 for improvements to replace the sand play equipment, $5,000 to replace the Perfect Fry, and $4,800 to replace three Central Processing Units (CPU's). The sand play equipment and the Perfect Fry are replacement items and are proposed to be funded ($17,000) from the renewal and replacement account balance. The CPU's will be financed through operating revenues. Revenue/Ex enditure Summa Enclosed on page is a copy of a high level summary of revenues, expenditures, and other disbursements from 1999 through the estimated results of the 2005 budget. The projected results from operations for 2004 show expenses and other disbursements exceeding revenues by $39,707. Projected revenues are under budget by $228,147 while expenses and other disbursements are under budget by $188,440. As previously discussed, the unfavorable revenue variance is due to the weather while the favorable expenditure variance results from cost reductions and the partial year vacancy in the manager position. Other Although there are no specific budget allocations to address the issue, staff is continuing to investigate enhancements to the facility in an effort to keep it fresh and exciting for the residents of Eagan. This effort is continuing while using the information gained through the recent FlowRider study and analysis. Also, a high priority continues to be placed on marketing efforts to keep this recreational opportunity in front of potential users.

COMMUNITY TRAIL SYSTEM REVIEW ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To Approve or Revise the draft Community Trail System Policy and direct specific segments (if any) to be deleted from the 5-Year CIP. FACTS: • Part of the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan/Transportation Element relates to the community's Transportation Trail System. These segments of trails are primarily adjacent to the City's Collector/Arterial Street system or provide major non-vehicular transportation links (i.e. the Highline Trail). • Many of these transportation trail segments were/are constructed concurrently with the upgrade of the adjacent roadway. Now that our collector/arterial road system is nearing completion, there are several segments of trails that have not been completed for a variety of reasons. • Last fall, when the Council wanted to revisit the schedule of the trail along Federal Drive, they requested that the staff provide them with a status of all remaining trails so that they could get an idea of possible priorities. • This past spring, staff brought the results of the evaluation of the remaining uncompleted portions of the trail system for the City Council's consideration. The Council directed staff to create a Community Trail System policy. . • The Engineering Division has created a draft policy and "tested" all of the remaining segments and City Engineer Matthys will be ready to review the policy and test results with the Council at the Workshop session on November 9. It would be appropriate for the Council to; o Accept or revise the draft criteria/guidelines to be used to determine when any specific segment should be programmed into a CIP in the future. (i.e. roadway improvement, petition, development, etc) o Determine if there are any segments that should be permanently removed from the Comprehensive Trail System Plan as not being appropriate for further consideration. o Identify what segments should be included in the 5 year ('05-'09) Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) by specific year. o Determine the extent and method of public notification that should be provided for trail construction programming.

COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS FROM: RUSS MATTHYS, CITY ENGINEER DATE: NOVEMBER 5, 2004 SUBJECT: COMMUNITY TRAIL SYSTEM POLICY BACKGROUND The City of Eagan has an extensive trail/sidewalk/path system dedicated to the use of non-vehicular transportation. Users include pedestrians, bicyclists, in-line skaters, skateboarders and others. Components of this system primarily include off-street facilities, but may include on-street striped lanes or paved shoulders in some areas of the city. Three distinct types of trail facilities exist in Eagan. Local/neighborhood facilities provide access within smaller geographical areas, including residential neighborhoods or commercial areas. Park and recreational trails provide circulation within and between park and recreational facilities within the city. Transportation trails are typically located adjacent to major roadways and serve a broad range of functions from promoting non-motorized transportation by providing trail connections throughout the city and safely separating pedestrian/bicycle activity from automobile traffic. These Transportation trails are incorporated in to the City's Transportation Trail System and accordingly become a part of Eagan's Comprehensive Guide Plan. The 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Part 111, incorporates the trails and sidewalks that are a part of the City's Transportation Trail System. While it does not include park and recreational trails internal to the City's parks, it does include the High Line Trail as it provides a major connection between other segments of the trail system. The CIP identifies many of the remaining uncompleted portions of the trail system and programs those "New" constructions for either specific years or in a "future" category. Some of the uncompleted trail segments are along County Highways. The construction of these trail segments is usually included with the upgrade or extension of the County Highways. It is financially beneficial for the City to coordinate these trail improvements at the time of the County Highway projects as these improvements are eligible for 55% funding participation from Dakota County for trails adjacent to their system. Consequently, City staff will typically coordinate the planning of these trail segments annually in the City's CIP in conjunction with the County finalizing their CIP process. In the winter and spring of 2004, in response to a City Council directive, the Engineering Division evaluated the missing pieces of the community's planned trail system. The intent of the effort was to provide the City Council with an updated perspective of the factors yet to be addressed in order to complete the trail system throughout the City in coordination with the 5-Year CIP. At a Council Workshop on May 11, 2004, staff began presenting the results of the evaluation of the remaining uncompleted portions of the trail system for the City Council's consideration. In response, the City Council directed staff to create a policy to determine appropriate trail segments to include within the Community Trail System. CONCLUSION A draft of a Community Trail System Policy has been prepared for discussion at the Council Workshop meeting on November 9, 2004. The draft policy addresses the entire trail system referencing standards that have been applied throughout the development of the city as well as new guidelines to establish priorities for Council consideration. The draft policy was utilized for a test of each of the uncompleted trail segments to verify the appropriateness of their inclusion within the City's Transportation Trail System. In staff's review of the uncompleted trail segments with the use of the draft policy some segments stood out as being less than appropriate for inclusion. These segments have been identified on an attached "revised" Transportation Trail System Map. It is my suggestion that these segments of the existing comprehensive trail system be deleted from the system and accordingly, be removed from the CIP (2005-2009). I will be available to discuss this memo prior to the Council Workshop meeting on November 9. C' Engineer V Enc. Community Trail System Policy, Transportation Trail System Map, Revised Draft Map c: Tom Struve, Superintendent of Streets Equipment Paul Olson, Superintendent of Parks CITY OF EAGAN COMMUNITY TRAIL SYSTEM POLICY Introduction The City of Eagan has an extensive trail/sidewalk/path system dedicated to the use of non-vehicular transportation. Users are primarily pedestrians and bicyclists, but may also be involved in other various multimodal transportation activities. Components of this system primarily include off-street facilities, but may include on-street striped lanes or paved shoulders in some areas of the city. The purpose of a trail system is to provide safe, pleasant places for exercise, relaxation or commuting for users of all ages and abilities. Some of the most popular everyday activities include running, walking, bicycling and in-line skating for exercise and pleasure. Participation in these activities generally occurs near the user's home and on a regular basis. The health of a community may be directly related to the usefulness of its trail system. A national effort is under way by health professionals to encourage the development of successful trail systems to support healthier choices by individuals. Not only are environmentally friendly alternatives to transportation provided by a successful trail system, but so are more reasons to exercise as a part of our normal daily routines. The reasons for providing healthy opportunities are no longer merely aesthetic or about the quality of life, but now also include financial benefits for all of us. As health care continues to loom as an important national issue, a successful community trail system can provide a critical local means to reduce the financial impacts we all want addressed. Three distinct types of trail facilities exist in Eagan. Local/neighborhood facilities provide access within smaller ;eographical areas, including residential neighborhoods or commercial areas. Park and recreational trails provide circulation within and between park and recreational facilities within the city. Transportation trails are typically located adjacent to major roadways and serve a broad range of functions from promoting non-motorized transportation by providing trail connections throughout the city to safely separating pedestrian/bicycle activity from automobile traffic. These Transportation trails are incorporated in to the City's Transportation Trail System and accordingly become a part of Eagan's Comprehensive Guide Plan. For the purpose of this guideline the word trail or trails may define paths, trails and sidewalks. The word user or users may define pedestrians, bicyclists, in-line skaters, skateboarders and others who utilize the trail system. Objective While the Transportation Trail System is nearly completely constructed, there are unconstructed segments that require an analysis of their feasibility or practicality due to the City of Eagan's fiscal responsibility to its taxpayers. In 2004, the Engineering Division was asked by the City Council to evaluate the remaining unconstructed segments of the trail system and provide the Council with guidelines to establish the proper justification to construct any missing trail segments. Completion of subsequently determined segments would occur as part of the City of Eagan's 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Due to the public's expectation of prudent fiscal management, it is necessary to analyze these segments and rank them in order of importance based on the subsequent criteria. Removal of a previously proposed segment of trail from the comprehensive trail plan should be considered if, upon criteria examination, a trail is deemed inappropriate or unreasonable. The following criteria should be evaluated to ensure the utmost safety and practicality for the citizens of Eagan while bearing in mind proper fiscal responsibility. The guidelines should be used as a general method to rank all uture trail segments to be constructed as public improvements. A. Comprehensive Trail System Standards An analysis of the area being considered for a trail installation shall include field observations and data collection to determine the appropriateness of the trail segment. Past practice throughout the development of the City of Eagan has included the following standards for off-street facilities: Street Classification Sidewalk or Trail Residential Street None Minor Collector 6' Sidewalk on One Side Major Collector 8' Trail and 6' Sidewalk B Minor Arterial 8' Trail on Both Sides A Minor Arterial or Greater 10' Trail on Both Sides B. Guidelines for Priority Determination The following criteria shall be considered in programming the previous standards in any such analysis. Each criterion is to be rated as indicated and added to all other relevant criteria to determine the overall rating of each considered trail segment. The total ratings will be used to prioritize the construction of the trail segments. The trail segment receiving the highest rating shall be considered first. 1. Accident Data The City of Eagan's first priority is public safety. Therefore, an accident study should be conducted when reviewing proposed trail segments. Locations experiencing pedestrian/vehicular accidents within the last five years should be carefully analyzed. Danger or hazards to users shall be prevented to the greatest extent possible. This prevention may include the removal of segments that have proven to be an attractive nuisance or deletion of dangerous segments from tht comprehensive plan. Trails and the associated access points should be safe and easily accessible. Number of Pedestrian/ Vehicle Accidents Rating 0 0 1 5 2-3 10 4 or more 15 2. Athletic Facilities, Schools, Bus Routes, Parks Trail segments proposed in an area near schools, parks, athletic facilities or bus routes, should be strongly considered as these facilities are traditionally recognized as significant pedestrian traffic generators. These trails are not only important for the safe separation of the users from vehicles, but also essential to properly accommodate the higher than normal non- motorized traffic. Interconnection of school and park facilities should be supported to encourage the use of both facilities by users and create opportunities for sharing public facilities by multiple agencies. A '/4 mile, or less, separation is typically expected to be attractive to users. Type o Pedestrian Generator Sites Rating Athletic Facility (Only) 5 Bus Stop (Only) 5 Neighborhood Park (Only) 1 Community Park (Only) 3 Regional Park (Only) 5 School (Only) 9 2 Sites within '/4 mile 3 Sites within '/4 mile 4 Sites within'/4 mile * Add the ratings for each site and multiply by two 3. Connectivity The interconnection of trails should be encouraged wherever possible to form routes, loops or networks. Once formed, the connection of trails to these more formal trailways, typically trails within the Park & Recreational or Transportation categories, is important to the successful use of the overall system. As most residential neighborhoods within Eagan do not have trails, the connection of the neighborhoods, assuming the residential streets will function as Local trails, to these routes, loops or networks is essential to creating a thriving trail system. Likewise, the financial success of consumer based commercial areas will be nicely augmented by the connection of such shopping/dining areas to a recognized trail system. Distance to a Designated Route, Loo or Network Rating Distance <'/4 mile 12 '/4 mile < distance < 3/a mile 9 3/4 mile < distance :5 1 mile 6 Distance > 1 mile 3 4. Construction Cost/Constructability Some proposed trail segments may require more than typical construction activities such as, tree removal, clearing and grubbing, grading, cut and fill, retaining wall construction and wetland impacts. The cost of these activities should be carefully considered in comparison to alternative trail locations to ensure the most cost effective trail system. Typical trail costs per linear foot for a 10' wide bituminous trail is about $15. Construction Cost (per 10 Rating Cost < $20 5 $20 < Cost :5 $25 3 $25 < Cost :5 $30 2 Cost > $30 1 * 2004 Rates 5. County Highways It is financially beneficial for the City of Eagan to coordinate proposed trails along county highways as these improvements are eligible for 55% funding participation from Dakota County. County Highway Rating Yes 5 No 0 39 6. Existing Trail The completion of existing trails with missing segments should be investigated using these criteria prior to filling these gaps. The appropriateness of the entire trail should be analyzed versus the possibility of removing the trail from the trail system. Likewise, the current trail system throughout Eagan has several streets with trails on both sides of the road. However, these criteria should be followed before constructing an additional trail adjacent to a street with an existing trail on one side. The existence of a trail in either case may not justify the addition of missing segments or parallel trails. Distances to existing trails shall be measured to trails on the same side of the street or to trail access points at designated street crossings. Distance to an Existing Trail Rating Distance <'/4 mile 3 '/4 mile < distance :S 3/4 mile 2 3/4 mile < distance :5 1 mile 1 Distance > 1 mile 0 7. Mixed Use Areas Areas which host a variety of activities, such as residences, bar/restaurants, stores, entertainment centers, an employment base or public facilities, in close proximity, typically '/4 mile or less, often stimulate an increase in users. A mixture of uses in an area provides multiple destinations for users and enhances the opportunities to access trails at numerous times throughout a typical day. Zoning or Land Uses Rating within '/4 Section 1 Use 0 2 Uses 2 3 Uses 5 4 Uses 9 8. Neighborhood Density The Neighborhood Density may be determined by dividing the number of Dwelling Units or Residential Population by the area (acres). Residential areas with Neighborhood Densities of 3 units/acre or more should be considered for trail connections to the City's trail system. Neighborhood Density Rating 3 < Densi < 5 2 5 < Densi 8 4 8 < Densi < 12 7 Density > 12 10 0 9. New Development/Reconstruction opportunities exist for the cost effective construction of trail segments as part of the construction of new developments, redevelopment of areas and reconstruction or upgrade of existing streets. A new development or redevelopment of an area by a developer requiring city approval provides the opportunity for the developer to finance the construction of the trail segment as a condition of the development. The addition of a trail adjacent to a street scheduled for reconstruction often allows the trail to be constructed with the street at a cost savings due to the economy of scales. Construction Activity Rating New Development 10 Redevelopment 7 Street Reconstruction 5 10. Petition Any petition requesting the construction or incorporation of a trail should be reviewed with these criteria in order to determine the appropriateness of the trail segment. The support of the adjacent property owners for the construction of a trail segment is very desirable and may be necessary for Council support. Petition Rating 100% of Adjacent Owners 5 >50% of Adjacent Owners 3 <50% of Owners or None 0 11. Privacy .'he privacy of residents while they are within their homes or backyards that are adjacent to a trail segment is typically of great importance. In addition to the loss of privacy, residents' concerns also may include noise, litter, vandalism and reduced property values. The construction of trails that provide clear visibility in to the windows and backyards (portion of residential property not easily visible from public right-of-way; typically at rear of house) of private homes should usually be discouraged. Privacy Rating >30' from Window/Backyard 5 <30' from Window/Backyard 0 12. Safety The safety of the trail users is of utmost importance. Placement of trails in locations that would create hazards or provide less than expected levels of protection should be avoided. Topography that would require sharp curves or steep slopes or encourage fast speeds on the trail is not desirable. The frequency or likelihood of vehicles endangering trail users by crossing trails at driveways or street intersections should be minimized. To the extent possible, trails should be separated from roadways/driveways designated for vehicle use. If trails co-exist with roadways/driveways then routes should be selected with lower vehicle speeds & volumes. Sae Issues Rating 1 < Crossings per '/4 mile 5 5 5 < Crossings per '/4 mile < 10 2 10 < Crossings per '/4 mile < 15 0 0 < Grade < 8 5 Grade > 8 0 *Proposed trail routes not separated from roadways/driveways should be rated as 1 crossing for every 25' 13. Snow Plow Criteria Reference to the City of Eagan's Winter Trail Maintenance Policy and current plow routes should be included. The addition of trail segments that would continue existing plowed trail segments and meet the Winter Trail Maintenance Policy criteria should be considered. Winter Trail Maintenance Rating Yes 10 No 0 14. Speed Limits The 85" percentile speed on the adjacent street will indicate the maximum speed that 85% of the vehicle drivers are traveling. Higher speeds place a greater risk on users and require larger separation distances between the edge of the street and the trail. Proper separation may require the acquisition of additional right-of-way or easements. 85` Percentile Speed Rating 30 < S eed < 40 5 40 < S eed < 50 3 S eed > 50 1 15. Street Patterns Neighborhoods with small blocks or numerous neighborhood street intersections provide good alternative on-street routes for users. Trail connections to these neighborhoods typically would experience greater use than to neighborhoods with few neighborhood street intersections or many cul-de-sacs. Neighborhood Pattern Rating 5 < Intersections* < 10 2 10 < Intersections* 15 4 15 < Intersections* < 20 7 Intersections* > 20 10 *Intersections per 1/4 section 16. Traffic Volume/Road Classification Vehicle volumes are higher on some roads than they are on other roads for valid reasons. The busier roads are chosen to be used by more drivers for reasons that they find personally beneficial. Trail users will typically come to conclusions similar to those of the drivers. The analysis of proposed trail segments must include the classification (traffic volume based) of the adjacent street. Roads with higher vehicle volumes should typically provide adjacent trails. The exception is that trails are not permitted along the interstate highway system (Principle Arterial). Road Classification Rating Residential Street 0 Minor Collector 5 Major Collector 6 B Minor Arterial 8 A Minor Arterial 10 Principle Arterial 0 Conclusion Priority of new trail placement shall be determined by the City Engineer utilizing this policy, concerns for public safety, engineering judgement and the CIP schedule. This policy covers trails that are under the jurisdiction of the City of Eagan.

LAND PRESERVATION DISCUSSION ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To discuss and provide direction to staff relative to agricultural preserves and green space preservation. FACTS: ➢ At a recent workshop, the City Council directed staff to review options associated with preserving agricultural zoned land. Staff understands there to be interest in considering additional options as tools for preserving property associated with the Eagan Core Greenway. ➢ At that meeting, a reference was made to an Ag Preserve zoning in the City of Rosemount. Staff has reviewed and attached a copy of that portion of the Rosemount Zoning Ordinance. ➢ Additionally, the City Attorney has provided State Statute information in the same regard. ➢ Based upon the discussion at Tuesday's meeting and further clarification of the Council's expectations, it may be appropriate to research or develop additional information regarding other options for green space preservation, tax base impacts of the options or other factors that would clarify the best strategies to accomplish the Council's purpose in this regard.
