01/04/1990 - Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: DECEMBER 29, 1989 RE: JANUARY, 1990 COMMISSION MEETING GOOD-BYE 80'S - HELLO 90'S The new decade for the Parks and Recreation Commission gets underway on Thursday, January 4th at 7:00 P.M. Because the City Council has moved it's Tuesday meeting to Thursday, the Commission will meet in the lunch room in the lower level. t The City Council will not have made any appointments to the Commission, therefore, as in past years, the Commission's organizational business will take place at the February meeting. Re-appointments and new appointments will begin their term of office beginning then. After the Consent Agenda and development items, the Commission is asked to review the concept plan for the Willmus Park and proposed school #16 (S.D. 196) Eric Linner, architect with the Wold Association, will be present to review the plan with staff which incorporates the school and park into an integrated site. A separate memo has been prepared to review this item. The next two items deal with issues that were addressed last month; sand volleyball courts and winter skating rink both of which had been requested for Kettle Park. Staff has prepared separate memos covering these two items as directed at the Commission meeting. In the case of sand volleyball courts, staff feels that Community Parks should be targeted for such a facility before a neighborhood park is selected. With the winter skating rinks, staff found that there is an "imbalance" in the distribution of rinks in the City which favors the west side of town. If rinks are needed, perhaps the east/central portion should be given consideration first given that there is a limit to the manpower/equipment to maintain skating areas. The Commission had asked Mr. Kubik to develop a Mission Statement regarding natural resources and the Commission's involvement in that issue. You'll recall the Commission met in October of 1989 to discuss this and at the November meeting took action to formalize a position. Mr. Kubik hopes to have a draft for review at the Commission meeting. The Planning Department has not yet completed their section of the Landscape Policy. Jim Sturm, Planner hopes to have something ready for the February meeting. Other items will be presented without the benefit of a packet item. As always, the "Department Happenings" are included in the packet. Jon Oyanagi is preparing a video on winter skating activities which we hope to show the Commission. The new Well Site building and Bridle Ridge Park are just two of the "features" of this video tape. As always, if members are not able to attend, please call to let us know. Respectfully submitted.

Staff present included Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation; Steve Sullivan, Landscape Architect/Parks Planner; Dorothy Peterson, Recreation Supervisor; John VonDeLinde, Parks Superintendent; Mike Ridley, Zoning Administrator/Planner I and Cherry] Mesko, Secretary. Commission Member Michele Swanson was not present. AGENDA Director Vraa asked that a recommendation to the Council regarding Commercial/Industrial Parks Dedication fees for 1990 be added to Trails Dedication Policy under Old Business. Sandy Masin moved, Ted Billy seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the agenda as amended. MINUTES FROM NOVEMBER 2, 1989 Sandy Masin moved, Dick Carroll seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the minutes as presented. CONSENT AGENDA Dick Carroll moved, Jack Johnson seconded with all members voting in favor to recommend to the City Council approval of the following: BOULDER RIDGE 2ND ADDITION - NEW HORIZON HOMES. That this parcel be subject to a cash parkland dedication and that this proposal be responsible for an 8 foot bituminous trail along Thomas Lake and Diffley Road or, dependent upon the policy enacted at the time of final plat, the proposal may be subject to a cash trailway dedication. 4. ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF DECEMBER 7, 1989 MEETING PAGE 2 Ted Billy moved, Jack Johnson seconded with all members voting in favor to recommend to the City Council approval of the following: FRANKS NURSERY & CRAFTS ADD.- FRANKS NURSERY & CRAFT, INC. That this proposal be subject to a cash parkland dedication and that this proposal be responsible for the construction of a 6 foot wide concrete sidewalk along Duckwood Drive or, dependent upon the policy enacted at the time of final plat, the proposal may be subject to a cash trailway dedication. Dick Carroll moved, Ted Billy seconded with all members voting in favor to recommend to the City Council approval of the following: DUCKWOOD SQUARE - METRO CENTER DEVELOPERS. That this proposal be subject to a cash parkland dedication. That this proposal be responsible for the construction of a 6 foot wide concrete sidewalk along Duckwood Drive or, dependent upon the policy enacted at the time of final plat, the proposal may be subject to a trailway dedication. The recommendations are made subject to the satisfactory resolution of compliance to City landscape policy and assurance that storm water run-off will meet the water quality requirements so as to protect Fish Lake. DIFFLEY/CEDAR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT Ken Vraa explained that this item has been pulled from the Planning Commission but because of the magnitude of the project felt it appropriate to bring it to the attention of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission at this time. Mr. Vraa explained that there was not action required from the Commission at this time. He further noted that the Commission had previously reviewed this parcel as the Splashland Planned Development which never received final plat. The property of 44 acres is located north of Diffley Road and west of Cedar Avenue. The proposal requests a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment and rezoning from PD to a mixed multi-family/retail land use. This will include a total of 496 units with a combination of apartment buildings and townhomes in addition to a 100,000 sq. ft. service/retail building. The proposed layout would utilize internal pedestrian links providing connections between adjacent facilities, land uses and the City's trail systems. It was noted that this proposal will come back to the Commission at a later date to evaluate the pedestrian linkages,support recreation facilities and the park dedication requirements. ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF DECEMBER 7, 1989 MEETING PAGE 3 George Kubik asked if there were ponds on the site. Mr. Vraa's response was positive to which Mr. Kubik suggested a possible trail around the green belt area as a consideration. SAND VOLLEYBALL REPORT Director Vraa reminded the Commission of their request to research the issue of sand volleyball courts in community and/or neighborhood parks. The issue was raised when a resident near Kettle Park requested that one be installed in that park. Mr. Vraa explained that some of the issues that were considered included the appropriateness of sand volleyball courts in parks; where the courts could go; cost of installation and maintenance; and what other communities are doing regarding this sport. George Kubik stated that the Commission members should be aware that the number on the bottom of page 37 which gives the cost of a quad volleyball court should read $9,696.00 instead of $3,296.00. Dorothy Peterson explained that staff had surveyed six communities; Burnsville, Apple Valley, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Eden Prairie and Roseville. The information in the packet outlines that all have courts in community parks and Apple Valley has 4 in neighborhood parks. They do not know exactly how much they are being used however they feel they get a lot of casual use. Four of the six communities have sand volleyball leagues that are very active. Roseville takes reservations and charges fees for the use of courts ($6.00/hr. in 1990). Steve Sullivan explained what was involved in the actual construction of the courts and the costs for doing single, double and quad courts. George Kubik commented that it appears as though the current facilities lean toward community parks for their location. He then asked if the City has received requests for a sand volleyball league. Dorothy Peterson responded that each spring sufficient requests are received to offer this as a program but in order to do so there would be a need for two courts to begin. Mr. Kubik stated that neighborhood parks have been very carefully and sometimes tightly planned so they may not be a viable option for a program such as this. Shawn Hunter asked where the original request had come from. It was noted that Mr. Dan Smith, 2024 Vienna Lane had originated the request. Shawn asked Mr. Smith what he was asking to be provided in Kettle Park. Mr. Smith responded that he felt double courts for both recreation and leagues could be accommodated in this park. Steve Sullivan commented that the parking at this site could not support recreation program use, however it could support casual use. I _ 1 ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF DECEMBER 7, 1989 MEETING PAGE 4 George Kubik asked which existing community parks could support this type of programming. Mr. Sullivan responded that Blackhawk could support both parking and use. Mr. Kubik commented that in developing a prototype for this new type of recreational activity Blackhawk Park looks like a good possibility and reiterated his concern for putting too much activity in existing parks. Dick Carroll commented that the department must be careful not to infringe upon other park uses. Ken Vraa stated that Rahn Athletic may be another option to consider. Sandy Masin suggested looking at a double court at one or two alternative sites. Ted Billy commented that single courts may also need to be considered. Mr. Smith suggested that since Kettle Park has one softball, one soccer and one hardcourt area why not also add one volleyball court Mr. Kubik indicated that it was important to look at the impact of adding this facility to an existing park vs. placing it in a park that can support the parking and use, i.e. a community park. He further suggested that staff look at options for the location of this facility keeping the continuity of the parks in mind but also understand users requests. After further discussion George Kubik moved, Dick Carroll seconded with all members voting in favor to recommend that staff develop four or five alternatives for single and double sand volleyball courts making sure these alternatives are consistent with each park's integrity; i.e. parking, traffic flow, etc. Jack Johnson asked if this is something that could be up and running for spring, 1990. Mr. Vraa explained that this could be possible since the Commission is beginning to review alternatives. In discussing the issue of a skating area at Kettle Park George Kubik asked staff to do a feasibility study on providing an ice surface which the residents would maintain. Mr. Smith indicated he would stay in contact with staff and talk to residents to see if they were open to this idea. HIGHVIEW PARK ADDITION Ken Vraa explained that Highview Park Addition is a 3 lot subdivision located north of Highview Park. The Commission's recommendation for a cash parkland dedication and trail easement from Highview Avenue to Highview Park betweens Lots 1 and 2 of Block 1 was inadvertently not included in the Council's approval of this plat. Since the final plat was not received within the allotted time frame this issue came back before the Council for an extension. The proponent, who did not attend the initial Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, was informed of the trail easement at the City Council meeting for the extension. ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF DECEMBER 7, 1989 MEETING PAGE 5 Staff received a letter from the owner of the subject parcel expressing opposition to the recommendation for a trail easement within the property to Highview Park. After re-evaluation of the future road alignment from Highview Terrace to Skyline Road, Engineering determined that this would be a viable option. The Highview Terrace Road improvement would be recommended at the time of subdivision of the adjacent Delosh property. Therefore, the northern portion of the Park Service Area would have both pedestrian and vehicular access to Highview Park thus eliminating the need for a trail easement through Highview Park Addition. Gloria Fritz was present at the meeting representing the owners of the affected lots outlining the objections that were covered in a letter dated November 20, 1989 to Jim Sturm. George Kubik thanked Ms. Fritz for attending and making the position of the lot owners clear. He also noted that it appears that the 20 foot easement is of little use at this time. After further discussion George Kubik moved, Shawn Hunter seconded with all members voting in favor to omit the Commission's previous recommendation for a trail easement for Highview Park Addition. WATER QUALITY/CLEAN WATER PARTNERSHIP GRANT John VonDeLinde explained that the water quality update in the packet covered three areas; Water Quality Planning, Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan and Clean Water Partnership Grant. This is the culmination of many months of work. It is anticipated that the final review of the Comprehensive Water Quality Plan will be completed in early January, 1990 followed by a meeting with the Developers Task Force and then back to the Commission before being scheduled for the City Council's review. One of the pending issues yet to be resolved deals with the formulation of a policy requiring developers to mitigate negative impacts to water quality as a result of land use changes and increased runoff. A second issue was the establishment of market values in connection with various land-use classifications. The Task Force has decided to adopt the land use values currently being used by the Park and Recreation Commission for park dedication fees. The third issue deals with the design of mitigation formulas and the method by which they should be presented to the developers. Lastly, the establishment of a long-range capital improvements program as part of the water quality plan is seen as an important need. The subcommittee on Water Quality will need to reconvene again in late January to discuss this last item more in detail. S• ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF DECEMBER 7, 1989 MEETING PAGE 6 John commented that the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan is being worked on by Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates and a draft revision has been provided to the city for review. John VonDeLinde and Steve Sullivan will be involved in this portion looking at future ponding, high water level issues, park facilities and trees that will need to be considered. Recently the city was informed that it has been programmed to receive a grant under the Clean Water Partnership Grants Program in the amount of $26,000 which will begin in fiscal year 1990. The city will need to contribute $26,000 in matching funds all of which (except for $3,600) will be made up through in-kind contributions from the Dakota Soil and Water District Gun Club Lake WMO, Hennepin Parks Water Quality Planner and through force account labor via the city's water sampling program. In addition, Eagan will be securing approximately $10,000 worth of monitoring equipment which can be used in future diagnostic studies elsewhere in the city. George Kubik congratulated John on a job well done. He asked to have another volunteer for the Water Quality Subcommittee which will meet to review the Storm Water Plan and may become more involved in the whole issue of water quality. Jack Johnson and Shawn Hunter volunteered to serve on the subcommittee until appointments are made at the February organizational meeting. George Kubik offered to serve as an alternate. TRAILS DEDICATION POLICY Ken Vraa explained that the packet contained information pertaining to this issue. As background he noted that at the direction of the City's Assessment Committee City Staff had prepared a draft proposal for the establishment of a separate Trails Dedication Ordinance. This proposal would separate the existing Parks Dedication Ordinance into two separate and different ordinances; one for trails and one for parks. The Advisory Planning Commission, after a public hearing, approved the proposed ordinance after which the Council directed this item be reviewed by the Developer's Task Force. This item is now back to the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission for review and possible resolution of differences between what is proposed and the comments of the Developers Task Force. The Developer Task Force was not necessarily opposed to a trails dedication fee but felt it should be part of the total dedication fee rather than a separate fee which appears as an "impact" fee to them. Another concern the DTF expressed was inequity of having undeveloped property pay for the construction of trails where development had already occurred. It is estimated that between 16.5 and 20 miles of trails are proposed along property already platted or developed. Still another concern was the increase of $100 per unit for apartments. ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF DECEMBER 7, 1989 PAGE 7 Mr. Vraa noted that the Assessment Committee was in favor of a separate trails dedication fee and fund which would provide for trails to be built in a timely and appropriate sequence. Several alternatives for the Commission to consider include recommending the implementation of a separate park and trail dedication; leave the dedication policy as is; modify the existing ordinance requiring a cash dedication for trails. Developers would not longer be required to install trails themselves, unless the trails are along privately constructed street in which case a cash dedication would be required but a reimbursement by the City to the developer would be made for the construction of the trail based on a lineal foot measurement; recommend a combination of these policies or propose a alternative not yet reviewed. Mr. Vraa reminded the Commission that a copy of the draft dedication policy was included in their packet for their review. Shawn Hunter commented that it is clear that this is an impact fee but felt it was appropriate to spread the costs among developers. The DTF may feel an inequity in the $100 increase between single family and apartments but trails are used equally by apartment dwellers and single home dwellers, therefore the costs should be split equally. George Kubik commented that in looking at the overall picture of trails construction it makes sense to collect the trails fees up front in order to set priorities for construction as well as taking advantage of some cost savings in doing a larger section of trail(s) at one time. George asked if this ordinance would be able to be reviewed annually feeling that this would be a very important component to monitor the cost increases inherent with trail construction. Mr. Vraa stated that these fees would be reviewed annually just as the park dedication fees are reviewed with any increase recommended to the Council. After further discussion Shawn Hunter moved, George Kubik seconded with all members voting in favor to recommend the adoption of the Trails Dedication Policy Ordinance which would require a cash donation of $100 per dwelling unit for residential dwelling units and $859 per acre for commercial/industrial/public facility designation. COMMERCIAL /INDUSTRIAL PARK DEDICATION FEES Ken Vraa reminded the Commission that it reviewed the park dedication issue last month and made recommendations for all fees except commercial/industrial. He noted that currently we charge $.05/sq. ft. or $2178/acre. Sandy Masin expressed some concern for the large increases that have been approved for parks dedication fees. One concern was the increase in single family fees plus the trails fee in addition to that. Ken Vraa explained that single family dedication fee with both the parks and trails dedication fees of $784/unit reflects a $17,500/acre land value. jo. ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF DECEMBER 7, 1989 MEETING PAGE 8 After comparing fees charged by other communities in the Twin Cities area Dick Carroll commented that with the addition of $859/acre for trails dedication the per acre cost increased to $3,037/acre. He suggested that if the commercial/industrial rate was increased to $.055/sq. ft an addition cost of $215-220/acre would put the total commercial/industrial rate at approximately $3252-3257/acre. Shawn Hunter stated he felt this was too high a fee and suggested keeping the commercial/industrial rate the same as 1989. George Kubik and Dick Carroll expressed their concern for the large amount of impervious surface inherent with commercial/industrial development and felt the cost increase was appropriate. After further discussion, Dick Carroll moved to recommend the increase in commercial/industrial park dedication fee for 1990 to $.055/square foot. George Kubik seconded the motion and the motion passed on a vote of 5 to 1. 1990 PARK GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Director Vraa explained that pages 62 through 65 in the packet outlined the priorities for 1990. He stated that staff usually bites off more than they can chew but it was important to provide many options and possibilities. The list is prioritized by letter and number. He also noted that the primary task goals are not necessarily in priority order, merely a recap of what is anticipated for the year. Shawn Hunter asked how the priorities change. George Kubik commented that typically this list is used as a guide, a very ambitious one, with priorities changing as the year progresses. George suggested placing a high priority on Blackhawk Park Ken Vraa explained that the acquisition of access to Blackhawk Park with Leo Murphy is close to being resolved. He also stated that a grant extension for Blackhawk would need to be accomplished but should not pose a problem. Shawn Hunter suggested adding sand volleyball courts as item #38 and putting a high priority on item #13, comprehensive boulevard planting master plan. LANDSCAPE POLICY - PART H Ken Vraa explained that John Voss has been recovering from a heart attack and will be meeting with Dale Runkle soon to get back on track with this issue. PARKS DEVELOPMENT Steve Sullivan updated the Commission of pending contracts. Under Contract 89- 23 the trail is cleared at Thomas Lake. Under Contract 89-20 Bridle Ridge hockey rinks are completed with Dakota Electric to hook up service shortly. Parking lot lighting at 1 `1 . ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF DECEMBER 7, 1989 MEETING PAGE 9 Ohmann and Thomas Lake Park are waiting for the completion of wiring. The Well Site building is completed and contracts have been let for the architectural work for Ohmann, Northview, Bridle Ridge and Blackhawk shelter buildings. HAPPENINGS Dorothy Peterson stated that volunteers are still needed for North Pole Calling. Notices were sent to kindergarten and first grade parents so Santa could call their children at home. To date the department has received approximately 360 letters. Dorothy also commented that the Kids Day Out event after Thanksgiving worked out very well giving parents an opportunity to do some shopping while their children participate in some fun activities. Interviews for rink staff have been completed and Jon Oyanagi feels he is in good shape with staff this season. Training will be December 15th with rinks planned to open on December 16. Also broomball teams are registered with 10 teams on the Sunday men's league and 7 teams on the Monday men's league. Co-Rec Friday league is full. MAINTENANCE REPORT John VonDeLinde explained that a detailed report on maintenance and the winter maintenance plan was included in the packet for Commission review. As an overview he stated that base flooding started this week with Well Site to have a good skating surface soon. Once the sites are open, regular maintenance will commence and Saturday morning maintenance will continue. WINTER PROGRAM ACTIVITIES Dorothy Peterson brought the Commission's attention to the winter edition of "Eagan News" outlining the winter recreation offerings. Dorothy stated that judge is needed for the Decorate Eagan Contest offered by the Chronicle and City of Eagan. Shawn Hunter volunteered to help judge. Judges are also needed for the Snow Sculpture Contest which will be held during the Winter Weekend activities. February 4th is when the actual judging will occur. Dorothy also indicated that Winter Recreation Leaders are offered $4.50 per hour plus a bonus of $.50 per hour for people successfully finishing the season. Staff anticipates large numbers at Trapp Farm tubing hill (provided there is sufficient snow) and are encouraging large groups to call prior to showing up so that adequate staff will be available and prepared. Other offerings include school vacation week activities, speed skating meet during the Winter Weekend and boot hockey tournament during Winter ~Z• ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF DECEMBER 7, 1989 MEETING PAGE 10 Weekend, and a new Kindermusik program. Staff is also very pleased to be able to use Dakota Hills Elementary gym for programs this winter. TRAPP FARM PARK UPDATE Ken Vraa explained that the Council has suggested that staff do a land swap using excess property (6 lots) near Daniel Drive and Diffley, 1/4 mile east of Lexington and Diffley for the lots adjacent to Trapp Farm Park. He also noted that a petition had been given to the City Council supporting the purchase of lots to maintain the integrity of Trapp Farm Park. Mr. Vraa stated that no action is necessary at this time. Staff is waiting for information from the developer but the lots in question are being withheld from the market. WESCOTT STATION PARK/WEST PUBLISHING Ken Vraa stated that this issue continues to be reviewed by staff with approximately 95% of the department's concerns having been addressed. Staff indicates that West Publishing has been very cooperative in working out any concerns that have been raised. With no further business to conduct, Sandy Masin moved, Dick Carroll seconded with all members voting in favor to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 P.M. SECRETARY DATE l~~ MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER DATE: DECEMBER 28, 1989 RE: CONSENT AGENDA - JANUARY 4, 1989 1. POPPLER HOMESTEADS NO. 2 - LAWRENCE POPPLER.

RECOMMENDATION: A. That this proposal be subject to a cash parkland dedication. B. That this proposal be subject to a cash trailway dedication subject to the enacted policy at the time of final plat. SS:cm I ~f. MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER DATE: DECEMBER 28, 1989 RE: WEST PUBLISHING 4TH ADDITION REQUEST Applications have been submitted requesting a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment, Planned Development Amendment, rezoning and preliminary plat of six (6) lots and one outlot (See Figure #1). BACKGROUND The parcel is located north and east abutting Wescott Station Park. This plat encompasses approximately 208 acres of the 425-acre Gopher Eagan Planned Development that was initiated in 1976. In 1987, West Publishing purchased all but 20 acres of the Gopher Eagan property southeast of Yankee Doodle Road and Elrene Road. The Gopher Eagan Planned Development provided a 17 acre land dedication (Wescott Station Park) in accordance with the PD Agreement, therefore the current proposal has fulfilled its parkland dedication requirement. Staff has advised the Commission at the past several meetings of on-going evaluations of the storm water from the subject parcel and its impact on the downstream watersheds (JP- 161 17 & 18) located within Wescott Station Park. ITEMS FOR EVALUATION The Commission will need to evaluate and consider recommendations regarding the following items: 1. What are the impacts to Wescott Station Park/Park Service Area #13 with the revised layout and land use proposed for West Publishing 4th Addition? 1-6- 2. What are the impacts of the storm water from this development on Wescott Station Park? 3. What are the trailway obligations? ANALYSIS 1. What are the impacts to Wescott Station Park/Park Service Area #13 with the revised layout and land use proposed for West Publishing 4th Addition? The original Gopher Eagan Planned Development proposed approximately 200± of road frontage along the north property line of Wescott Station Park. This frontage was to provide an opportunity for both vehicular and pedestrian access to the park from the north half of the park service area. It was to provide benefit to the proposed high/medium density residential and industrial land uses but was inefficient for access to the park from the south where a strong majority of the single family residential land use exists. With the platting of Windtree 4th Addition a 0.4 acre outlot was dedicated to the City for park access from Ridgewood Drive. This outlot provides 80.89 feet of public frontage for Wescott Station Park. Several residents within the Windtree Additions have expressed concern in regards to the visual impact an access roadway within the outlot would provide to the adjacent homes. The primary question is what are the access needs for Wescott Station Park? West Publishing has no interest in providing road frontage to the park. Public road frontage does not layout effectively with this vehicular system and provides additional security concerns. The possibility of vehicular access from Elrene Road is extremely costly due to steep terrain and an 800 foot roadway length. Therefore, if desired, both vehicular and pedestrian access directly relate to the outlot within Windtree 4th Addition. Staff impresses to the Commission that the access question will not be resolved with West Publishing 4th Addition but within the design process utilizing Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission and neighborhood meetings this winter. Park Service Area #13 is small encompassing an area from Yankee Doodle to Wescott and Elrene Drive to Highway #149. The Gopher Eagan PD proposed 44 acres of medium and high density residential. The West Publishing proposal requests to eliminate all 44 acres of residential land use and rezone to Light Industrial. Staff estimates that based on this rezoning the population of the Park Service Area at build-out will be 492 instead of 1231 residents. This 60% decrease in Park Service Area population may influence the Commission's recommendation in regard to facility programming in the design of Wescott Station Park. The development of West Publishing 3rd and 4th Addition will result in excess fill material. West Publishing has agreed to utilize this fill material by increasing the existing berm height east of the park and grading another berm to the north of the park. These berms will be landscaped and provide a good buffer to Wescott Station Park. The site l~• plan has also been revised placing parking no closer than 80 feet from the park's property line. Each lot shall be brought before the Commission at the time of development for specific review. 2. What are the impacts of the storm water from this development on Wescott Station Park? West Publishing has conformed to the requirements set forth in the storm water memorandum the Commission reviewed at the December meeting in regards to storm water impact on Ponds JP-16, JP-17 and JP-18 located within Wescott Station Park. Staff has been working closely with both the Engineering Department and West Publishing to assure compatible development. The primary resolution was the establishment of high water level based on elevations of significant trees/woods adjacent to the ponds and the establishment of a pond on the West Publishing property to contain storm water volumes and provide water quality enhancement. The proponent will begin storm sewer construction this winter with trunk line implementation occurring under a public contract this spring. 3. What are the trail obligations? The proposal will be responsible for the construction of an eight foot bituminous path along the east side of Elrene Road and the south side of Yankee Doodle Road or a cash trail dedication dependent upon the policy at the time of final plat. RECOMMENDATION The Commission may consider the following recommendation: The proposal will be responsible for the construction of an eight foot bituminous path along the east side of Elrene Road and the south side of Yankee Doodle Road or a cash trail dedication dependent upon the policy at the time of final plat.

After some 18 months of negotiations and review, land transfers took place containing two parcels of land, one of which was designated as a neighborhood park. This early parks dedication from the Wilmus properties was previously approved by the City Council in 1988. School District 196 is pursuing the acquisition of ten acres immediately adjacent and to the West of the proposed neighborhood park. The School District will be constructing their 16th elementary school on this location and is proposing a joint school/park site. Site Plan Attached to this memorandum are reductions showing the proposed school and park site. The elementary school is patterned after the two school buildings currently under construction which are to be opened in 1990. Elementary school #16 is to open in the fall of 1991. Access to the school is off Johnny Cake Ridge Road. A secondary access is not shown but is to be off of the future extension of Clemson Lane. This revision to the site plan is an Engineering recommendation and is expected to be incorporated by the School District. To meet the more intensive needs of the school, the Park provides for two softball fields and two soccer fields along with soft surface play area for playground equipment and a hard play surface. A trailways will parallel the bike path within the highline corridor. Access to Clemson Lane is also provided to service both the school building and the park. A 66 car parking lot is provided for the school building which is also serviceable for the park. A trailway connection is provided making the park reasonably accessible to this parking lot. Parking can also take place on Clemson Lane once constructed. f~. Advisory Park and Recreation Commission January 2, 1989 Page 2 The site plan for the school and park does not incorporate all of the park area. Additional property to the South encompasses the Highline Corridor and additional open space. It is anticipated that additional site planning by the Parks and Recreation Department incorporate the open space into the overall site plan. This will then provide the passive element to the Park. joint Development The School District has proposed that this site is to be treated much as the Mueller Farm Park/Woodland School project. The basic agreement for that park/school is that the facilities are constructed as part of the construction contract for the school building with all grading, seeding, turf establishment, erection of backstops and hard surface completed by the school district. The city provides for landscape planning, planting of all materials, design and erection of the playground equipment and for long-term maintenance of both the school and the city grounds. It is anticipated that a separate agreement will be prepared for school site 16 and the Park assuming concept approval. Timeline Representatives of the School District will be appearing at the January meeting of the Advisory Planning Commission for preliminary plat approval and to the Council in February. The District hopes to begin construction in March/April of 1990 with the building opening in September of 1991. Discussion The city will incur some additional long term cost for the maintenance of the school grounds but this is seen as being offset by savings as a result of having the District provide the grading and establishment of turf in the park area. The district will not be absorbing the entire development cost for the park as additional development is anticipated further to the south in the open space area. This will be addressed at some future date. The city has sufficient funding set aside to provide for it's share of the capital dollars, assuming this falls within the normal range for providing the landscaping and typical site improvements that the city would be responsible for in developing the school's park. The original plan for the park (see attachment) incorporated parking, internal trail system, hard court, skating area, shelter building and playground equipment all contained within the park itself. Some of those elements have now been moved within the school area and while still available to the residents, provide a "plain appearance" to the park itself. 20. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission January 2, 1989 Page 3 Amenities provided should adequately meet the demands of the neighborhood in that two softball fields and two soccer fields are provided. Some concern for Staff is the skating area. It is somewhat difficult to access, being removed from the parking lot and future Clemson Lane. An alternative may be placement of the skating rink on the softball infield, although this presents some concerns and maintenance issues which need to be evaluated. Staff is also reviewing the possibility of placing the skating rink on the pond located within the Highline trail. Again, this presents some accessibility issues as well as concerns for storm water bounce that this pond may have. Again, this is still being evaluated for potential change. For Commission Discussion and Action The Advisory Commission should review the proposed park plan in conjunction with elementary school 16. If there are concerns by the Commission, they should be raised at this time for modification. After review, recommendation to the City Council for acceptance of the plan (with modifications if necessary) will be made at the time of the preliminary plat application.

Direction was given to Staff to provide the Commission with a review of possible location among several community parks. The recommendation was to include positive and negative impacts on the parks and surrounding neighborhoods, and to consider single or double court configurations. Information regarding location with neighborhood parks was also requested. ISSUES Five umbrella issues were identified as elements to be considered as the base of comparison of the parks for sand volleyball. They were: 1. External considerations: Impact to neighboring residences. 2. Use relationships: Compatibility with other facilities, impact to other park users and spatial considerations (number of courts). 3. Support facilities: Provision for adequate parking, shelter, and future lighting 4. Site considerations: Topography, soils, drainage and climatic conditions. 5. Special conditions: Other design considerations peculiar to an individual park. 14r. In addition, users of sand volleyball courts were classified in three categories: leagues, reserved and casual. A. League Needs 1. Parking: 24 cars/hour with overlap i.e. teams arriving before other teams leave. 2. Minimum of 2 courts 3. Three matches/court/night 4. Potential for Lights B. Reserved Usage Needs 1. Availability for checking out a ball (at the site). 2. And/or system to collect fees (at the site). 3. Parking C. Casual Usage Needs 1. Layout that provides effective usage and observation of behavior. 2. Parking The following are needs which can be accommodated by different park classifications: Community Parks Athletic Sites Neighborhood Parks League needs: 1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 0 Reserved: 1,2 1, 2 0 Casual: 1 1 0 ANALYSIS Eliminated Sites Goat Hill, Ohmann and Thomas Lake Parks were eliminated as possible sand volleyball sites. These parks have spatial limitations which will preclude the development of volleyball courts. Sites Compatible to Sand Volleyball Blackhawk and Trapp Farm are identified as community parks in which sand volleyball is compatible with other uses. League play, however, is not recommended to occur at either park being incompatible with a picnicking or other reserve critical passive uses. Either single or double court configurations appear to lend themselves to the reserved and casual use categories. Staff observation of volleyball use at Trapp Farm Park has indicated a direct correlation between groups and need for support recreation facilities. ATHLETIC SITES Staff has primarily evaluated all existing and future community athletic park in regards to compatibility for development of a sand volleyball facility. The following 4 sites meet basic matrix criteria and through analysis by elimination, could provide opportunity for a sand volleyball facility. All existing park sites have some restraints primarily resulting from post development programming for sand volleyball. The Lexington/Diffley site provides the only opportunity to program and design for sand volleyball because of undeveloped condition. 1. Northview Park alone has the potential for meeting all identified matrix criteria for a sand volleyball facility. A double court configuration might be located northeast of Northview Drive. Approximately 20 trees would need to be relocated. Minimal grading to a gradual slope along the north edge would be necessary to accommodate the north/south length of the facility. Staff's primary concern is the tightness of the available space and the facilities proximity to Northview Drive. 2. Rahn Athletic Park effectly provides adequate space for a double volleyball facility west of field #4 within the warm up area. The remaining area could easily accommodate the softball warm up needs. The topography is well suited for facility development. The overriding concern is the lack of available parking at Rahn Park during softball games. The existing parking lot could not support both league volleyball and softball during peak usage, but would be adequate at times other than when field use is at its peak. 3. Lexington/Diffley Athletic Park can easily accommodate any program need and all matrix criteria for a sand volleyball complex. The developmental timeframe for the park is uncertain so therefore does not accommodate short term construction of a sand volleyball facility. 4. High School Site located in the northwest corner adjacent to Northview Park can accommodate a double sand volleyball facility. Some grading would be necessary filling a drainage swale adjacent to an existing ballfield. The facility could be oriented allowing adequate safety zone to Northview Road. Permission from the school would be necessary. A negative aspect is the facilities remoteness to both parking and pedestrian circulation. Z(o. Neighborhood Parks The Commission also discussed the concept of a neighborhood park being used for a sand volleyball court. And the discussion also included the possibility that one park might be designated as a "test case" for a court. After further staff discussion, it would be a staff recommendation that this be done cautiously for the following reasons: 1. There will be a demand to conduct "league" play at the site. Introduction of community type activity into a neighborhood presents potential problems for parking and compatibility to the adjacent residences. This would represent a reversal of the City's desire to remove high impact community action from neighborhood parks. 2. Priority should be given to a community park which seems the most appropriate location. 3. Volleyball as a neighborhood activity can be conducted in local parks by setting up a net on poles within general open play turf areas. (The Department has this equipment available as part of the picnic kits.) 4. In that this is likely to become an 'optional' park facility, equal distribution should be a park planning criteria. As with community parks, the Commission feels it wishes to pursue siting of a sand court in a neighborhood park; then staff should be directed to prepare a further site analysis, distribution and a feasibility study before a final recommendation is made. CONCLUSION Staff concludes that there is a current and unmet need for sand volleyball courts to fulfill league play. Based on the outlined design criteria, league play is best suited in community athletic parks. Group usage of community picnic park can be enhanced and augmented rough the provision of a sand volleyball facility. League play is not compatible within community picnic parks. In that most neighborhood parks are not suited for sand volleyball courts an inequitable distribution could occur resulting in inefficient use. RECOMMENDATIONS The Commission may consider the following recommendations: 1. To adopt the "conclusions" section outlined within this report as policy guidelines for the future programming and implementation of sand volleyball facilities. 2. Staff preform site specific analysis and design within the priority community athletic parks as outlined within this report in regard to feasibility of construction and compatibility of design for sand volleyball courts. 3. Sand volleyball facilities be assessed with the updtaing of Parks System Plan and/or placement as optional facilities within neighborhood parks. 4. The design of Blackhawk Community Park include sand volleyball courts. /nh Ie.

In that the Parks Master Plan provides established standards for the City in reference to pleasure and hockey rinks, direction was given to Staff to review the status of skating facilities in the city, provide pertinent demographic information and consider short and long term perspectives and maintenance concerns. Issues A review of the information provided in this report identifies the several issues or questions to consider: 1. Is the current standard of 1 hockey rink/3,000 people and 1 pleasure rink/3,000 people (based on the population of the city as a whole) a valid standard or should the standard be revised? Should the isolation of a neighborhood be an added factor in determining 1 rink for 'Y' number of people. 2. Given limited resources, then which park site should have 1 rink next? If the City could only add one more rink, would Kettle Park be identified as the site? If two more rinks were added, would that site be one of the two? 3. What short and long term support facilities might be required to continue established standards of operation? 4. What are the implications for maintenance costs? 3~• Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission December 26, 1989 Page 2 Analysis Existing skating facilities: The attached chart provides demographics by Park Service District, a listing of existing skating surfaces (by class), and the status/standard of skating facilities considering the city as a whole and each park service district individually. The Lexington Park hockey rink is excluded when comparing facilities to standards due to the sub-standard, temporary boards configuration of that rink. Skating facilities for the City as a whole meet or exceed established park system plan standards of 1 rink per 3,000. Only Districts 4, 5 and 6 demonstrate deficiencies at the current stage of development of the parks system. Districts 1, 2 and 3 are "overbuilt". Parks by Neighborhood Service Area: The Parks Master Plan divides the city into neighborhood service areas. This chart is presented to assist the Commission to view the over-all distribution of skating surfaces, the parks in which they are located and representing neighborhood services areas in park service districts. The city map graphically illustrates rink locations and the ensuing one half (1/2) mile radius of each site. (The 1/2 mile is the minimum distance often retained to the service area. Generally 1/2 to 3/4 mile is a guide) Isolated Neighborhoods: This page of information defines isolated neighborhoods, names parks in what could be considered isolated neighborhoods and provides a brief history of currently maintained rinks in what might be considered isolated neighborhoods. Layout Concerns Once determined that a free skating rink is programmed for a neighborhood park several design criteria are applied. In regards to layout the pleasure rink may have a size range of 5,000 sq.ft. (Evergreen Park) to 52,000 sq.ft. (Well Site). The typical size of a free skate rink is approximately 12,000 sq. ft. to 17,000 sq. ft. Examples of rinks of this size are Slater Acres and Pilot Knob Parks respectfully. The free skate rink should have direct vehicular access from a public road to the ice sheet. Effective vehicular circulation provides efficient operational maintenance of the skating facility. The free skate rink should have efficient pedestrian circulation to the ice sheet from primary pedestrian accesses to the park. Support facilities such as warming houses to shelter benches should be oriented to minimize negative climatic influences such as northwest winds and tie directly into clear pedestrian routes to and from the ice sheet. The free skate facility should be laid out providing minimal negative visual impact to other park functions. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission December 26, 1989 Page 3 Lastly and most importantly, a free skate rink of the 12,000 - 17,000 sq. ft. size respects extremely high tolerance grading with a total vertical deviation of only 0.4' across the entire ice sheet. The gradient of an ice sheet is approximately twenty-six hundredths of one percent. Kettle Park could support a small free skate rink west of the existing playground of approximately 3,750 sq. ft. This area of course was intended for picnicking and general open play and therefore was not graded to the high tolerances typical of a free skate facility. The location of the facility would have reasonable vehicular access and good pedestrian access. The visual impacts would be minimal. The construction of a free skate rink would costs approximately $2,000.00 Maintenance Considerations The concept of adding a pleasure skating rink at Kettle Park raises three issues relative to the provision of Parks Maintenance services. These are: 1. Maintenance Feasibility 2. Impact to Current Maintenance Services, and 3. Long Range Maintenance Planning Maintenance Feasibility at Kettle Park In evaluating the placement of a new skating surface within a neighborhood park, consideration must be given to three factors impacting maintenance feasibility: 1. Site Gradients 2. Vehicle/Equipment Access 3. Impact to Turf With respect to Kettle Park, staff have determined that gradients within the park will not provide for the efficient maintenance of a pleasure skating rink. Based on the site grading plan, it is estimated that existing slopes are approximately 1.3% (8 inches over a distance of 50 feet) in the area just west of the playground. This exceeds, by a factor of six, gradients which are considered desirable for efficient rinks maintenance. Thus, without regrading, the establishment of "base ice" in Kettle Park would be more difficult than at the other City skating rinks. In this particular case, maintenance staff would be required to place an eight to ten inch berm along the southeast and west portions of the skating rink to contain the water during the flooding operation. Base flooding would also be hampered by the need to establish a significant depth of ice on the south and east ends Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission December 26, 1989 Page 4 before "full coverage" could be achieved. An evaluation of access appears to meet the needs for maintenance. Though the access to the skating area would be over 300 feet in length, most of the distance would be via an eight foot wide hard surface trail with grades not exceeding the design limitations of five percent. Thus, plowing of the trail into the park could be readily accomplished to permit adequate access for tanker trucks and snow removal equipment. The ability to maintain adequate turf within the park, however, would be negatively impacted by the placement of an ice skating sheet. Plowing of the trail to the skating rink could potentially damage sod on either side of the trail. Moreover, it is virtually impossible to maintain permanent cultivated turf grass within skating surface areas. This inevitably leads to the growth of broadleaf weeds, crabgrass, etc. Since the skating areas would likely be placed within the open play area of the park, it would have a detrimental effect to usage of the facility. While this can be mitigated through the planting of annual rye grass, this would be an additional expense to the department for seed, personnel, and equipment. In consideration of the site factors discussed above, maintenance of a skating rink at Kettle Park at this time is only marginally feasible. It's placement would lead to inefficiencies in the maintenance program, as well as distract for the usefulness and aesthetics of the playfield area. Impact to Current Maintenance Services Staff has conducted a cursory evaluation of the hours and expenses associated with maintaining a pleasure rink at Kettle Park. It is estimated that approximately 25 hours of personnel/equipment would be required for the berming operation and establishment of base ice. This would be followed by a routine maintenance program consuming approximately five to seven hours per week for snow removal, flooding, and plowing. While this estimate may seem high, there are associated time commitments for mobilization and water fill up prior to flooding. In the final analysis, it is estimated that approximately 80 hours per year would need to be committed to maintaining a suitable ice skating surface in the park. At an average hourly rate of $40.00 per hour - including personnel, overhead, and equipment - an additional $3,200 in labor and budgetary expenses would be required to accommodate this change. 91. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission December 26, 1989 Page 5 While this amount may not be "significant," there is a greater concern for the impact of lost hours to other maintenance services connected with winter facilities. At the present time, the department has just enough staff to conduct daily maintenance on both routes, while providing backup services for equipment maintenance. The balance of time, not spent on snow removal or flooding, is focused on other activities such as shaving and edging of the skating surfaces, line striping, cleanup plowing, and so on. The loss of hours associated with an additional rink could have a negative impact to the quality of the existing skating surfaces. While it is difficult to measure and quantify this impact, it is a necessary consideration. It should also be noted that no additional personnel have been budgeted for 1990 in the Park and Recreation Department. Thus, the Department's ability to efficiently expand maintenance services, for the 1990/1991 season, is still in question. Long Range Maintenance Planning The addition of a skating rink to Kettle Park would represent an incremental approach to planning and provision of maintenance services. If Kettle Park met the standards for the addition of this facility, it could be reasoned that other parks may also be justified for winter programming. The hazard of such an approach is that the Maintenance Division is not permitted ample time to respond and plan for the added time commitments, resources, and financial outlays. A far better approach would be to review maintenance services in the contest of a comprehensive planning, as done for other facilities. This process would involve a re- analysis of the distribution and number of skating sites in the community. Once the master plan has established the allocation and planned additions to the system, the provisions of maintenance services could follow in a logical sequence. Based on the forecast of long range needs, annual budgeting could be accomplished to take additional services, equipment, and personnel needs into consideration. When done in such a fashion, the City can be best prepared to maintain the level of service which the public has come to expect. Conclusions The existing skating facilities/current city population satisfy the standards established by the Parks Master Plan for both hockey and pleasure rinks. The specific location of rinks begs the question of whether the public would be better served with a realignment of neighborhood pleasure rinks. 1989-90 census information from existing pleasure rinks will hopefully provide additional insight. 3~• Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission December 26, 1989 Page 6 With the long-term, completed park system in view, a policy guideline for response to short term requests would assist Staff to respond to incremental requests for facilities in neighborhood parks. The consideration of when to close one facility and establish another, maintain a system-wide balance, would provide continuing dynamics to the system and a means by which to be responsive to changing needs in the community. Recommendations Staff's recommendation is that the issues of hockey and pleasure rink standards be incorporated into the Parks Master Plan review process. For this reason, the short term recommendation is that a pleasure rink not be established in Kettle Park at this time. The Master Plan review process may indicate differently, should the issue of isolation of a neighborhood become a factor and the dynamic nature of the community is addressed. For Commission Action It is appropriate that the Commission make a recommendation at this time regarding the short term request for a pleasure rink at Kettle Park and the long term Master Plan review of skating facilities.

Major highways lie between a neighborhood and a facility. Physical barriers such as lakes The history of isolated neighborhoods in which rinks are maintained; PSD Park History 1 Slaters Incorporated into park's design 1987 2 Cedar Pond Pond site, warming house removed, 1984 3 Highview 1972 Park Bond Referendum; hockey rink and pleasure rink; down graded to pleasure rink only in 1987. Country Home 1972 Park Bond Referendum, planned element of the park, pleasure rink only. 4 Lexington 1972 Park Bond Referendum, planned element of the park. Demountable, undersized hockey acceptable to the neighborhood at park planning meetings. Bur Oaks Pond site, street lighting, no warming house 6 Evergreen Planned element of the parkp, approximately 1975 Usage patterns of Neighborhood Pleasure Rinks No hard data from previous years is available regarding the level of use of neighborhood pleasure rinks. Reports from maintenance and "windshield" checks of site such as Cedar Pond would provide insight as to whether a pleasure rink is used. Annual reservations, such as that of Thomas Lake Elementary School's use of the Evergreen rink, provide a third framework for known use patterns. During the 1989-90 skating season, the level of use of pleasure rinks will be monitored as follows: 1. Maintenance will provide information each time a pleasure rink is maintained. If skaters are present, data, time and number will be recorded. The condition of the ice will provide evidence whether or not a rink has been used. 2. Staff who are normally out in the field will incorporate "drive-bys" of the various pleasure rinks, noting date, time and number of skaters. The various sources of data will be compiled at the end of the skating season to provide a use profile for each rink. A matrix can then be made which compares the demographics of a neighborhood, other park service district skating facilities/city standards, the pleasure rink use profile and isolation factor of neighborhoods. .o m m ~q a w ro !

The percentage of return is within the anticipated range. Participant preference for morning time slots has been an on-going dilemma of the program for years. The priority registration system acerbates that to a degree, that is, space was available but not the preferred space and the issue was raised sooner in the registration process now. 2. Staff has begun to brainstorm alternative sites for the Fourth of July celebration in anticipation of the existing site being unavailable in 1990. 3. Recreation Staff is participating in the Torch Run Committee for the Olympic Festival. The South of the River communities will co-ordinate the torch through Savage, Burnsville, Lakeville, Apple Valley, Eagan, Rosemount and Farmington on July 2. In additional, a reception for torch runners and community dignitaries will be held on July 1 at Thomas Lake Park. 4. The Seniors group held its Christmas Party on December 19. A tasty pot luck lunch, games and the singing of Christmas carols made for an enjoyable afternoon. One member who was celebrating his 70th birthday on that date was serenaded by an Easter Onion singing "telegram" at the party! It appeared to Staff at that instant that life begins at 70! 5. The Seniors also went to lunch and to the play The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever at the Landmark Center. All experienced Scout leaders and Sunday School teachers identified with the "trials" of putting on a Christmas pageant. Several new participants attended this outing! 6. The Eagan Stagedoor Performers have deferred plans for their next play until fall. More information is required regarding the status of use of the theater in Eagan High School. And,the group plans to concentrate on increasing membership; active membership. Opportunities to be active are available through the Let's Pretend workshops, an upcoming speaker's bureau "presentation" for School District 196 and other projects that now are in the planning stages. 7. Preparations are being made for a February Facilities steering committee meeting with the Eagan Athletic Association, Rosemount Area Athletic Association and School Districts 196 and 191 Community Education. Field shortages are anticipated for baseball. In addition, the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Soccer Fields may be required to be rotated out of use for the summer months. 4 8. It is highly probable, that construction of the water treatment facility at Well Site Park will displace the Eagan Athletic Association from the small house used for storage of athletic equipment. The EAA board and staff will be discussing alternatives at the January 18 board meeting. 9. Staff had submitted the Eagan park shelter building designs for consideration for an award of merit to the "Park Maintenance Grounds Management" magazine. The department reviewed a response from Mr. Erik Madison, Jr., Editor for the magazine, naming the shelter building as one of the award winners. The official presentation is to take place at the 20th Annual Conference in October. 10. The City will be holding a public informational meeting on Wednesday, January 17th, for the purpose of taking public comments for a possible revision to the current snowmobile ordinance. The meeting begins at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers. 11. A feasibility study for the improvement of Rahn Road from approximately Beau De Rue Drive to Shale Lane is currently being performed by consultants, Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlick and Associates. The road improvement would also include trailways within the boulevards. The Comprehensive Trails System Plan indicates trailways or/sidewalk on each side of Rahn Road. Staff's preliminary evaluation indicates tree loss and possibly some R.O.W. acquisition to accommodate trails/sidewalks. A neighborhood public meeting is scheduled for January 9, at 6:30 to discuss the road improvement. 12. Volleyball leagues are expanding for winter. Twenty-seven teams are signed up to play Co-Ed Recreational Volleyball on Friday evenings at Dakota Hills Middle School and Woodlands, Deerwood and Highland Elementary Schools. 13. Seven teams are signed up for Co-Ed Officiated Volleyball on Friday evenings at Dakota Hills Middle School. 14. Six teams are registered for Women's Officiated Volleyball on Tuesday evenings at Dakota Hills. 15. The City was notified by the Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) that this year's application of the Lexington/Diffley site did not rank high enough to be considered for a State/Federal grant. Only five applications were funded in the metropolitan area, and all of them were for projects strongly directed to natural resources based recreation. As a follow-up, staff has met with representatives of DTED to examine ways of improving subsequent applications. Alternatives will also be explained regarding other sites, due to increased competition under the 1991 grant ruling criteria. l SUBJECT: REZONING, VARIANCE, PRELIMINARY PLAT °f (DOPPLER HOMESTEAD #2) APPLICANT: LAWRENCE G. DOPPLER LOCATION: NW 1/4 OF SECTION 10 EXISTING ZONING:- A _._----r7A 8--OP PUBLIC -•1EARINGi----DECEMBER _61, --1707--_._---------- DATE OF REPORT: DECEMBER 12, 1989 COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a Rezoning of Outlot A (5.19 acres) from A to R-1 (Single Family) and a Preliminary Plat consisting of three lots. BACKGROUND: This proposal was originally scheduled for the June 27, 1989 Advisory Planning Commission meeting as a replat of the original Poppler Homesteads, however the applicant withdrew his application and asked to be continued until a later date due to questions regarding easement requirements on the east side of plat. The proposal submitted for review at this time is a separate plat: Poppler Homesteads #2. EXISTING CONDITIONS: This site is located directly south of Lone Oak Road, west of Lemay Lake Apartments, north of Lemay Lake, and east approximately one-quarter mile from Pilot Knob Road. The applicant is seeking to rezone Outlot A from its current Agricultural zoning to R-1 (Single Family). The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this area as D-II (0-6 units/acre). The proposed project is consistent with that plan. Poppler Homesteads Addition was platted in 1962 for single family residences. The site is primarily open grassland, however there are approximately 11 mature pine trees located within the 60' roadway easement. A house is presently located on proposed Lot 8. A pond is on proposed Lots 8 and 9, and proposed Lot 7 incorporates 72,695 sq. ft. of Lemay Lake and has approximately 220-240' of frontage along the lake. SITE PLAN: The total 5.19 acres includes three lots. As proposed, all lots exceed the 12,000 sq. ft. lot requirement for an R-1 district. The lots range in size from 29,283 sq. ft. to 106,256 sq. ft. Total density for the project is .57 units per acre. The setback from Lemay Lake, according to the Shoreland Ordinance, is 50' from the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). i The applicant is requesting a 10' Variance from the required 50' setback along Lone Oak Road (CSAS. No. 26) and a 10' Variance from the 30' required setback along Poppler Lane for proposed Lot 9. The purpose of the request is to allow the parcel to be developed with a 401 setback from Lone Oak Road and a 20' setback along Poppler Lane. The steep terrain which leads to the pond and the restrictive setbacks substantially restrict the location of a home on this lot. Access to the three lots is gained from the 805' cul-de-sac, Outlot B. A Variance is necessary for the cul-de-sac link in excess of 5001. The major issue with this proposal is whether the 60' wide roadway easement becomes dedicated right-of-way and the street is upgraded to conform with City Code requirements. The applicants want to keep the bituminous street in its current uncurbed, driveway like, condition. ,a 'Tv ' v GRADING/DRAINAGEZEROSION CONTROL: Grading of the property was completed in the late 60's with the initial platting of the proposed development. Staff anticipates no problems with the proposed grading and house elevations that are indicated on the grading plan. Proposed house elevations exceed the minimum free board required between anticipated pond high water levels and the proposed house elevations. - _ st-or-m-- sewer--improvements were - s udecF as - a ---part---of-the- - - application but would be required as part of -the upgrading __of__- Poppler Lane to City standards. Storm water drainage from the area flows into Pond DP-15. Pond DP-15 is a designated ponding area in the City's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. Pond DP-15 does not have an outlet at this time. With the recommended street upgrade it is anticipated that the ponds percolation capacity will reduce, thus creating potential for flooding. Staff recommends that an outlet for Pond DP-15 be constructed as a part of the recommended street improvements. Anticipated storm water runoff from the site drains into Pond DP- 15, a type 4 wetland, which in turn drains into Lemay Lake. No significant water quality impact is anticipated in Lemay Lake because of this development. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main were installed to service this area as a part of City Project #49 in 1970. Sufficient sewer and water services were provided at that time to serve the proposed plat. The development is required to extend sanitary sewer and water service to each platted lot. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: The plat is presently served by a substandard bituminous cul-de-sac street off of Lone Oak Road (County Road 26). The existing street, which is located on an existing 60' roadway easement, extends approximately 780' southerly of Lone Oak Road. The applicant is proposing to leave the existing bituminous roadway in its present condition and not upgrade the roadway to City standards. Staff recommends as part of this platting that the roadway be upgraded to City standards and the appropriate road right-of-way be dedicated with the plat. Grading for the street will result in some filling of Pond DP-15, but the proposed filling will not impact the ponds required storage capacity or anticipated high water level. EASEMENTS/PERMITSZRIGHTS-OF-WAY: As stated above, a dedicated street right-of-way should be included as a part of the platting. In addition to the existing roadway, the plat is affected by a temporary construction easement for the construction of a sanitary sewer which crosses proposed Lots 1 and 2. This temporary easement is no longer needed and can be vacated. The existing sanitary sewer easement is not of sufficient width to adequately protect the existing sanitary sewer. Staff recommends the following revisions and additions to the easements for the platting of this property: A. Revision of the existing ponding easement for Pond DP-15 to include all areas up to the defined high water level in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. To accomplish this, the existing ponding easement which was intended to cover Pond DP-15 is in error and portions of it will need to be vacated as a part of the final platting. B. The development is required to provide a 30' utility easement for the existing sanitary sewer which crosses proposed Lots 1 and 2. C. Addition of a ponding easement over Pond DP-2 (Lemay Lake) to the defined high water level as identified in the City's Comprehensive Storm Plan. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - POPPLER HOMESTEADS NO. 2 `Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the uses proposed for the property, the following charges are proposed. The charges are computed using the City's existing fee schedule and connections proposed to be made to the City's utility system based on the submitted plans. The obligation is computed using the 1990 rates.

This site is currently zoned R- 3 (Townhouse). This proposal is consistent with the most current Land Use Guide Plan (August 1988) which designates this area as D- III (Mixed Residential, 6-12 units/acre). EXISTING CONDITIONS: This site is located on Outlot B of the Blackhawk Acres 2nd Addition The site is surrounded by the Town View 1st Addition on the south and west side, and by Blackhawk Acres 2nd Addition, Phase I, across Robin Lane to the east. SITE PLAN: The proposed site plan indicates a five-unit building on the north side of the property and an eight-unit building on the south. Each building has a separate access from Robin Lane. The access for the five-unit building will line up with the Blackhawk Acres 2nd Addition townhomes to the east. The original plan did not indicate any visitor parking on-site. After reviewing this with staff, new plans were submitted showing four visitor parking stalls for the eight-plex. The project, as proposed, meets all R-3 setback requirements. Overall density for the project is 6.19 units per acre. Code requires a minimum lot area of 6,000 sq. ft. per unit, the proposed project has 7,045 sq. ft. per unit. Each unit will be platted as an individual lot with all common areas (Lot 6, Block 1) being maintained by the developer. The eight-plex building design features a walkout style with double tuck under garage. The five-plex building will be similar to those located in Phase I of the development. A tot-lot will be provided and will be located just west of the five-plex, approximately 17' from the deck of Lot 4. Iyw, + s The applicant has submitted a landscape plan identifying two wooded ' areas in the northwest portion of the lot which will be preserved. All landscaped areas will be irrigated with a central sprinkler system by the townhouse association. Two retaining walls are shown on the site plan. The smallest wall is located in the northeast corner and is a one tier, 4' wall. The second retaining wall surrounds the parking lot of the eight-plex on the west and south sides. The two and three tier wall will be planted with Yellow and Red Twig Dogwood, Cutleaf Staghorn Sumac, and Garden Snowberry. Eleven Blackhills Spruce trees and seven Marshall Seedless Ash are proposed along Robin Lane. GRADING/DRAIMG-EZEROSION CONTROL: The grading plan submitted is • in accordance with the City of Eagan's standards. Primarily, the entire site is proposed to be graded with the exception of the wooded area located in the northwest corner of the plat. Retaining walls are proposed in certain locations so the maximum 3:1 slopes may be obtained. However, due to the steep slopes, staff recommends that the developer restore all disturbed areas as quickly as possible to control the potential erosion. In addition, the developer will be responsible for maintaining the proper erosion control measures and removing whatever sediment does erode onto Robin Lane. The general drainage of this site flows in a northerly direction. It is proposed that catch basins be installed to intercept the storm runoff. The proposed catch basins will be tied into the existing storm lines located in an easement and, also, the Robin Lane right-of-way. These storm sewer lines drain to Pond AP-27 then continuing with a gravity flow to the Minnesota River. Pond AP-27 is listed on the City of Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. A preliminary erosion and sediment control plan was submitted as a part of this application. UTILITIES: Water main service of sufficient capacity and pressure is readily available and located along the north property line and, also in the Robin Lane right-of-way. Individual pressure reducers will be required to be installed because water main pressure is in excess of 96 psi. Sanitary sewer service of sufficient depth and capacity is readily available and is located along the north property line and also in the Robin Lane right-of-way. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Robin Lane is an existing City street which is built to its ultimate design section. This development proposes to connect to Robin Lane with two private driveways. All private drives meet City Code with respect to maintaining a 10% grade or less. RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS: An existing 60' right-of-way exists for street purposes for Robin Lane. Three easements are presently recorded for utility purposes. Along the north property line is a 15' easement for sanitary sewer and water main lines. A 35' storm sewer trunk line easement exists lying westerly and parallel to the west right-of-way line of Robin Lane. Northern Natural Gas Pipeline Company has a 50' utility easement located in the northwest corner of the proposed plat lying in a southwesterly to a northeasterly direction. e Z. PERMITS: It will be required of the developer to obtain a permit from Northern Natural Gas Pipeline Company to encroach and grade ` on their pipeline easement. All regulatory agency permits shall be acquired within the appropriate time frame as required by the affected agency. Financial Obligation - Blackhawk Acres 3rd Based on the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the proposed uses for the property, the following financial obligation is proposed. This obligation is computed using the 1990 adopted rates.

COMMENTS: Section 4.50, Subd. 2 Conditional Use of the City Code states the following: No TV or radio antenna supporting tower shall exceed a height of 1001, or the distance to the nearest property line, whichever is less, measured from the base of the tower to the highest point of the tower, without a variance. The applicant is requesting a tower of 751, well under the 100' maximum allowed height. The nearest property line to the proposed tower location is over 400' away. The purpose for the tower is to connect the West Publishing Eagan facility to the company's St. Paul operation. Since the proposed tower will use microwave transmissions, surrounding television and radio reception will not be affected. If approved, this Conditional Use Permit should be subject to all applicable Ordinances. m x N c ~ z z v COO i c r • ~ N it TOMLS Coto :1 ~t Ile r M J ~%y I `I YL I CT -N / v ter- ;..li W I ~ vl~ i/fir {~Jl/~ _ )AD / a N ~N nT eat go t t ~ I a ' ® ,y+ GROVE is • / 8 eNOtNTA V ~S t CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT, REZONING, AND PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR WEST-PUBLISHING 4TH ADDITION APPLICANT: WEST PUBLISHING COMPANY LOCATION: SECTION 13 EXISTING BONING: PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DECEMBER 21, 1989 DATE OF REPORT: DECEMBER 14, 1989 COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted requesting a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment, a Planned Development Amendment, a Rezoning, and a Preliminary Plat for the West Publishing 4th Addition. This plat encompasses approximately 208 acres of the 425-acre Gopher Eagan Planned Development that was initiated in 1976 for a fifteen-year period with the possibility of two five-year extensions. In 1987, West Publishing purchased all of the Gopher Eagan property southeast of Yankee Doodle Road and Elrene Road except for the twenty-acre concrete recycling area ;(the southwest corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Highway 149) approved by the City in July, 1989 . A new Planned Development Agreement will be entered into as a result of this project entitled, "West Publishing Planned Development." COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The project site is currently designated for D-I (single-family residential, 0 to 3 units per acre), D-II (mixed residential, 6 to 12 units per acre) in the Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The proposed West Publishing company project would be consistent with an IND (industrial) designation. As such, a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from D-I, D-II, D-III to IND is necessary. The IND designation, although compatible with the adjacent industrial uses to the north, east, and southeast, would be incompatible with the adjacent single-family residential uses to the west and south and the park-to the south. Prudent buffering measures will be required of this project in order to ensure appropriate transitions between the proposed IND development and the residential and park uses to the west and south. ~1. r EXISTING CONDITIONS: The following is a break-down of the existing zonings/parcels of land associated with this project. zoning Area Comments Li (light West Publishing 3rd Contains approx. industrial) (approx. 73 acres) 1.3 million square feet of office and manufacturing warehouse facilities Ag (agricultural) Unplatted area; Located between the approx. 11 acres 2nd and 3rd additions; used primarily for parking for both West buildings PD Li (light West Publishing Contains the industrial) 3rd; approx. 15 116,000-square-foot acres computer center currently under construction PD PK (parks) Unplatted; approx. Northern k of 17 acres of City Wescott Station property Park PD RB (roadside Unplatted; approx. Located at the SE business 15 acres intersection of Elrene and Yankee Doodle Roads PD R-2 (double) Unplatted; approx. Located along 15 acres Elrene Road PD R-4 (multiple) Unplatted; approx. Located along 16 acres Elrene Road abutting the Windtree additions on the south PD Li (light Unplatted; approx. The security guard industrial) 112 acres house was relocated on this parcel along Highway 149 with the 3rd addition PF (public Unplatted; approx. Contains a water facilities) 3 acres owned by reservoir along the City of Eagan Yankee Doodle Road This large, undeveloped tract of land varies from low-lying wetlands to open grassland, and-farming areas to dense tree and ' brush cover. The tree cover along the west and southern property lines create a natural buffer to the adjacent residential areas. PROJECT SCOPE: The master plan is intended to serve West Publishing's expansion needs well into the 21st century by increasing the gross development square footage from the existing approximately 1.35 million square feet to approximately 3.8 million square feet. This includes: 960,000 square feet of office use 740,000 square feet of warehouse and storage (indoor) 700,000 square feet of manufacturing 600,000 square feet of enclosed parking The rapidly changing technology and uncertainty of space requirements make it difficult to develop detailed site plans for each lot; however, the master plan provides flexibility on each lot as far as building locations go, and the buildings (especially the future manufacturing warehouse) may be constructed in phases as the current facility was. Programmed and potential future development is as follows: Years Square Footage Parking 1990 1,358,000 sq. ft. 1,300 spaces (existing (existing) development) 1990 - 2000 1,560,000 sq. ft. 3,300 spaces (programmed (programmed development) parking) Beyond 2000 (future 900,000 sq. ft. 1,750 spaces development) (future parking) .5 C ~y . e The detailed lot analysis is as follows: °Lot 1, 2nd Addition, and Lot 11 4th Addition 110.52 acres of existing building area 1,358,000 square feet of existing parking (1,300 spaces) Lot 1, 4th Addition Lot area: 40.14 acres Proposed six-story office: 700,000 square feet Usable floor area: 600,000 square feet Inside storage: 40,000 square feet Below grade parking: 60,000 square feet Parking provided: 2,050 spaces Surface: 1,850 Enclosed: 200 Lot 2, 4th Addition Lot area: 48.44 acres Proposed development: security guard residence and manufacturing warehouse of 800,000 square feet Parking provided: 1,050 spaces Lot 3, 4th Addition Lot area: 3.21 acres Existing use: City of Eagan water tower (with a proposed access from West Drive) Lot 4, 4th Addition Lot area: 7.8 acres Proposed development: office/computer (backup-type) center of 60,000 square feet Parking: 200 spaces Lot 5, 4th Addition Future lot area (gross) 82.9 acres Buildable lot area: 59 acres (area excluding the buffer strip, steep slopes, major wetland areas, and storm water ponding areas) Proposed development: 900,000 square feet (300,000 square feet of office and 600,000 square feet of manufactur- ing/warehouse Parking: 750 spaces Lot 6, 4th Addition Lot area: 4.27 acres Proposed use: security residence for the facility manager Outlot A. 4th Addition Lot area: 17.01 acres; Wescott Station Park PHASE I: 1990-1995 0 Construct a`6-story office building connecting the computer center currently under construction and the main office manufacturing warehouse facility. 0 Reconfigure the existing parking lot areas and entrance form Highway 149. 0 Construct a four-lane private road, West Drive, and new main entry from Highway 149. 0 Construct 1,850 new surface parking areas. 0 Construct the facility manager's residence on Lot 6 along Elrene Road. 0 Construct a 60,000 sq. ft. backup office computer facility along Yankee Doodle Road. 0 Construct a new water tower access from West Drive. PHASE II: 1995-2000 0 Construct 800,000 sq. ft. manufacturing warehouse facility. 0 Complete West Drive from the Phase I terminus north to Yankee Doodle Road. s1'0 Construct 1,050 parking spaces. PHASE III: 2000-2010 0 Develop access to Lot 5 from West Drive. `0 Construct up to 900,000 sq. ft. of building; 300,000 sq. ft. of office space, 600,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing/warehouse. 0 Construct 1,750 surface parking spaces. 0 Augment existing landscape buffer with berming and additional plantings. The third phase area, or Lot 5, is the most undefined at this time and reasonably so. However, only office, manufacturing and warehousing uses should be allowed architecturally consistent with other buildings in the West Planned Development. This will eliminate the potential for other less desirable uses in the Light Industrial zoning classification. West is also proposing a 150 ft. (no build) buffer strip along Elrene Road that will include additional plantings when development occurs. The existing dense woods will not be disturbed. g~. The major access to the site will be provided by West Drive looping from Yankee Doodle Road to Highway 149 at Becker Road. The County Plat Commission has required that West Drive be shifted to the west approximately 2001 to line up with the division of two Outlots on the north side of Yankee Doodle Road. This would place West Drive on City property and from a grading standpoint, it would create the need of a retaining wall at least 25' tall and the possible relocation of the Williams Brothers Pipeline. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Before any further development occurs, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared. This lengthy process has already been initiated by West Publishing. All other necessary environmental permits must be obtained prior to any future development. The overall landscape plan is well done. A mixture of overstory understory and coniferous materials is proposed in a way that will create a campus-like style. An effort to save as many mature trees for screening purposes has also been demonstrated. Gggp1NG/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: This development incorporates a section of land with considerable variations in topography and elevation with the maximum differential of approximately 100'. The proposed grading plan shows grading on Lots 1, 2, 3, 4 and a minimal amount of grading of Lot 5. The maximum cut is 45' along the south edge of the tower site, and the maximum fill is 15' along the east side of the site. The majority of the development will direct its surface water runoff to a proposed storm sewer system and ponding system in the center of the site and in the Wescott Station Park. The ponds in this system include Ponds JP-16, JP-17, JP-18 and a new pond on the West Publishing site located north of Pond JP-16. The developer has submitted a petition to the City to provide for an outlet for these ponds as a part of the West Publishing 3rd Addition development. The outlet for these ponds is proposed to be constructed under City of Eagan Project #585. The outlet for these ponds is proposed to drain to Pond JP-33 which is in the Woodlands Addition. Attached is a copy of a memo from Ismael Martinez of Bonestroo regarding a storm drainage review for West Publishing 3rd Addition and the water quality impacts to Ponds JP-16, JP-17 and JP-18. Also, attached is a memo from Steve Sullivan, City of Eagan Parks Planner regarding pond impact analysis of Ponds JP-16, JP-17 and JP-18 with respect to the City's Wescott Station Park. The northwest section of the site is proposed to drain to a new pond along the east side of Elrene Road. This pond shall be designated as JP-14A. The outlet for Pond JP-14A will need to be constructed and the runoff shall be conveyed to Pond JP-14. The design of Pond JP-14A shall meet the City's requirements for water quality improvements. The northeast corner of the site is proposed to drain through a new storm sewer system to the east to an existing storm sewer along the east side of Highway #149. The existing storm sewer is a 42" line that heads easterly and then northerly through the U.P.S. site to Pond GP-5. The design of the U.P.S. storm sewer system was based on 41 acres of R-4 type zoning contributing to it from the drainage area west of Highway 149. Based on the different type of land use for the West Publishing site, the area draining to the existing 42" line from West Publishing will need to be reduced from what is shown on the Preliminary Utility Plan. The 42" storm sewer was only extended to the east right-of-way line of Highway 149. The West Publishing development will need to extend storm sewer across Highway 149 and the railroad tracks to connect to that system. Pond GP-5 currently does not have an outlet, and, if a substantial area of West Publishing were to drain to it, the wet storage volume of Pond GP-5 would need to be increased for water quality purposes. Staff recommends that the area of West Publishing draining to the U.P.S. storm sewer system be reduced and instead drain to the new West Publishing pond. No erosion and sediment control plan was submitted for staff review and comments. Erosion control measures will be required in accordance with the `City's Erosion Control Manual. The grading plan proposes to construct a 10' to 20' high retaining wall along the north property line of Lot 2. The final plat submittal will need to have detailed plans of the retaining wall. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and elevation is immediately available within Trunk Highway 149 to the east and Elrene Road to the west. The preliminary utility plan proposes to serve Lots 1 and 2 with a sanitary sewer system that will connect to the existing 15" MWCC owned trunk sanitary sewer line in Trunk Highway 149. The existing 15" trunk sanitary sewer appears to have sufficient capacity for the proposed development. Lots 4, 5, and 6 are proposed to be served from the sanitary sewer line on Elrene Road. I Water main of adequate size, pressure and capacity is readily available along Trunk Highway 149, Yankee Doodle Road and Elrene Road. The layout as shown on the preliminary utility plan proposes to connect to the existing private water main system of West Publishing to the south and then looping to the north to the existing 24" water main on Yankee Doodle Road. Also, connections are proposed to be made to the existing 16" water main on Trunk Highway 149 and the existing 16" water main on Elrene Road. The utility plan also shows a loop of the water main system around the future building on Lot 2 to provide adequate fire protection. STREETSIACCESS/CIRCULATION: This development proposes to construct a 4 lane 52' wide private street from Highway 149 at the intersection of Becker Road to the west and to the north to Yankee Doodle Road. The proposed parking lots on Lots 1 and 2 shall feed into the 4 lane private street. The design of the streets and parking lots shall meet the standards set by City Code and ordinance at the time of final plat or building permit issuance. The developer proposes to provide an alternative access to the City's water tower site on Lot 3. The design of the new access shall meet the City's maximum street grade requirement of a 10% slope. The street opening widths and locations of the proposed streets shall meet the guidelines set by Dakota County and MnDot at the connections onto Yankee Doodle Road and Highway 149. EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY,/PERMITS: Standard 10' drainage and utility easements will be required around the outside of the plat. In addition, adequate easements for ponding shall be conveyed to the City for the proposed ponds. A permanent drainage and utility easement shall be conveyed to the City for the proposed pond outlet pipe to be constructed under Project #585. The developer will be responsible for obtaining the necessary right-of-way for constructing the proposed 4 lane street, through the exception north of Lot 2 up to Yankee Doodle Road. Thin development shall be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA, MWCC, Department of Health, Dakota County, MnDot and railroad) are acquired prior to final plat • approval. Financial Obligation - West Publishing 4th Based upon the results of the study performed on the charges collected in the past, the following charges are proposed for consideration. The charges are computed using the 1990 rates and the quantities or areas determined from the information available.

The review analyzed the overall performance of the system during a 100 year storm, it also addressed Water Quality impact to the pond system adjacent to the proposed development. During this review several alternatives related to storm management and water quality impact of ponds JP-16, 17 & 18 were considered. This memo contains the final results and best conditions for the overall system in order to comply with the city's Storm Sewer Comprehensive Plan and the parameters addressed in the City's draft of the Water Quality Plan. The approach for the review was based on the recommendations and concerns expressed in the October 27, 1989 memo presented by Stephen Sullivan of the Parks and Recreation Department at our meeting with City Staff, Parks, West Publishing, and BRW, in October 30, 1989. A copy of that memo is attached. Also enclosed you will find a sketch showing the alignments recommended for the proposed storm sewer pipes. Pond JP-18 The best alternative requires the proposed storm drairage outlet at catch basin 7 to discharge to pond JP-18. Catch basin 7 is part of the storm sewer that serves the proposed professional center area. The final parameters for pond JP-18 are: NWL=864.0 Direct drainage area 110 Acr. IIWL=870.2 Storage Volume 36.3 Ac-r' Q= 1.3 cfs Pond empty times Time Elevation 3 days 869.1 6 days 868.0 10 days 866.0 -1- b rri 0 0 C1 rr w d r-+ > "i 1V b E H O £ rh 1-.

The storm sewer pipe servicing the parking lot in the proposed professional center will have to be designed to allow small intensity flows to discharge into the West Publishing pond in order to improve the water quality of pond JP-16. Manhole 9 is located north of pond JP-17 and is part of the system that drains the parking lot servicing the proposed professional center. At this manhole or at any upstream point the flow should be diverted by means of two pipes. A lower pipe to divert low intensity flows to the West Publishing pond and a higher pipe to allow flows during severe storm events to flow directly into JP--16. This diversion is necessary for water quality and for storm water purposes. The diversion should allow 40 % of the pipe design capacity (five year storm event) to flow through the low pipe to the West Publishing Pond. This capacity should consider surcharging effects in the pipe. Parameters for this pond are as follows: NWL= 875.0 Direct drainage area 29 Acr. Total= 200 Acr. HWL= 879.0 Storage volume 10.0 Ac-F Q= 6.2 cfs The NWL at elevation 875.0 allows 3.6 Ac-F of wet volume. The water quality parameters are as follows: Phosphorus Load (lbs/yr) Inflow= 189.0 Outflow= 140.0 Phosphorus conc.

John Wingard, John VonDeLinde and myself have inspected these ponds since the staking on two occasions. This memorandum reflects our analysis and recommendations for providing compatible ponding within Wescott Station Park. ANALYSIS Pond JP-16: Pond JP-16 is located within the northwest portion of Wescott Station Park. Approximately one-half of the pond is located on property owned by West Publishing. According to the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan the normal water elevation is 874.7 with a high water elevation of 879.1. Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates provided staking at a 876.0 elevation. This deviation from the proposed normal water level has not been substantiated by Bonestroo, Rosene and Anderlik & Associates. The basin is currently dry with an apparent open water area located centrally. Cattails and transitional grassland vegetation edge the basin's perimeter. The normal water level as evaluated by terrestrial to aquatic vegetation is at the 875.0 elevation. The north and east pond perimeter is void of "significant vegetation". The west pond parameter is characterized by scattered woodlands with both significant and secondary plant material. The proposed 879.1 high water level would inundate 6/18-24" Red Oaks located above the 874.7 normal water elevation. A significant Red Oak woods _ begins at the 880.0 elevation. The south perimeter of the pond is characterized by a grove 35' X 100' of quaking aspen. The staked 876.0 elevation was 5' horizontally into the tree mass. The proposed 874.7 normal water elevation would not inundate the aspen woodland. Two (2) 30" Red Oaks at a 878-880 elevation are located within the southeast pond edge. These trees would be influenced by the proposed high water level. WESCOTT STATION PARK PAGE TWO OCTOBER 27, 1989 POND JP-17 Pone; JP-17 is located within the northeast portion of Wescott Station Park. According to the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan the normal water elevation is set at 858.0, with a proposed high water elevation of 871.0. Bonestroo, Rosene & Anderlik b Associates provided staking at an 860.0 elevation to reflect a 2' increase from the proposed 858.0 normal water elevation. The basin is currently dry with an apparent open water area located within the western end of the pond. The basin has a significant number of trees below the proposed 858.0 normal water elevation. The vegetation type is typically Cottonwoods, Elm, Cherry and Willow. The east pond edge is open with scattered shrubs. The north and south pond perimeter is of secondary growth. The west basin edge is a mix of both hardwoods and secondary type trees. One 30" Red Oak is located at a 858.0 elevation, another 24" Red Oak is located at the 860.0 elevation. The hardwood vegetation of primarily Red Oaks began at the 863.0 elevation. POND JP-18 Pond JP-18 is located within the southern portion of Wescott Station Park. A small portion of the basin is located on both the adjacent residential and West Publishing property. According to the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan the normal water elevation is 860.0 with a high water elevation of 871.0. Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates provided staking at the 862.0 elevation. This deviation from the proposed normal water level has not been substantiated by Bonestroo. The basin is currently dry with apparent open water areas located to the south and east. The watershed is characterized by two basins which appear to have a high point located between them. The basin is not influenced by any significant woody plant material. The vegetation is primarily cattails and transitional type grasses. The normal water level as indicated by the aquatic to terrestrial plant material is at the 862.0 elevation. RECOMMENDATIONS: Pond JP-16 o Based on the terrestrial/aquatic vegetation transition the normal water elevation should be set at approximately 875.0. o A normal water elevation of 875.0 elevation would provide minimal wet volume. If wet volume is desired for nutrient trapping and sedimentation the pond could be deepened without significantly influencing the park function or wildlife. 0 The high water level should not exceed the 879.1 proposed elevation. WESCOTT STATION PARK PAGE THREE OCTOBER 27, 1989 Pond JP-17 o Based on the terrestrial/aquatic vegetation transition the normal water elevation should be set at approximately 858.0. o A normal water level of 858.0 would provide minimal wet volume. If wet volume is desired for nutrient trapping and/or sedimentation the pond could be deepened without significantly influencing the park function or wildlife. o The high number of trees and shrubs located below the 858.0 normal water level should be removed with the storm sewer improvement. o The high water elevation should not exceed the 863.0 elevation due to the quality and quantity of significant trees which would be indicated. Pond JP-18 o The.tij gh water elevation could be increased to an 862.0 elevation. This will provide additional water into the basin enhancing the wetland character and wildlife habitat. A-u ..,c::,. 0 o The engineer should evaluate the connection of the two (2) separate ponding areas. o Modifying the basin to increase wet volume for nutrient trapping and sedimentation should not be considered. The deepening of the pond would negatively influence the parkland character. o The high water elevation should not exceed an 867.0 elevation. SS/bls
