ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF JUNE 7, 1990 MEETING

WOODLANDS NORTH
Stephen Sullivan explained that Robert Engstrom Companies is requesting a
Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to change the land use designation of
approximately 10 acres from DIII to DI, approximately 8 acres from DIII to DII and
approximately 10 acres from DI to DIII. They are also requesting a Planned Development
Amendment from R-4 to R-1 within the Gopher Eagan Planned Development, rezoning
from R-4 and Ag to R-1, R-2, and R-4 as well as a preliminary plat of approximately 57.9
acres.
Steve explained that this parcel is located west of Elrene Road and south of Kost
Road. Approximately 10 acres lie within the Gopher Eagan Planned Development and
this PD has previously fulfilled its parks dedication with a land contribution of Wescott
Station Park.
The issues the Commission needed to review included what the impact would be
to Park Service Area #14, what the impact would be to the existing woodlands, whether
or not the development meets the requirement of Comprehensive Water Quality Policy,
what the trailway obligation would be and what the parks dedication obligation would be.
After further discussion of this issue, Ted Billy moved, John Griggs seconded, with
all members voting in favor to recommend the following:
1. The entire development be subject to a cash trails dedication.
2. The entire development with the exception of Lots 1-5, Block 1 and Lots 1,
2 and 7, Block 2 be subject to a cash parks dedication.
OAKS OF BRIDGEWATER
Stephen Sullivan explained that an application had been submitted requesting the
preliminary plat of 59 single family lots and three outlots on 37.4 acres. This proposal is
located south of Wescott Road, west of Elrene, east of Bald Lake, and north of Bridle
Ridge 1st Addition. In 1988 Sienna Corporation made application for Bridle Ridge 2nd
Addition. This proposal included the current Oaks of Bridgewater parcel, 48 lots south
of Bald Lake currently platted as Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition and 90 acres located north
of Bald Lake called Govern Trust. The Trust was not included in the Eagan Hills Farm
PD and would be subject to a parks dedication. Sienna's intentions were to phase the
construction with the 48 lots south of Bald Lake being improved, the Govern Trust
property second and the current Oaks of Bridgewater, third and had requested that a
parkland dedication "equivalent" for the Oaks of Bridgewater parcel be transferred to the
ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF JUNE 7, 1990 MEETING
PAGE 3
Govern Trust property. The Oaks of Bridgewater would then take on the parkland
dedication obligations of the Govern Trust at the time of the third phase. This proposal
was reviewed and approved by the Commission. Sienna Corporation has been unable to
obtain the Govern Trust property, therefore, they are now requesting that the previously
approved parks dedication agreement as outlined by the Eagan Hills Planned Development
and Bridle Ridge 1st Addition be readopted as initially approved.
Steve explained that the items for the Commission to review included what the
parks dedication requirement would be, what the trails dedication requirement would be,
what would be the impact to natural resources and would there be a trailway credit to
provide access from Elrene to a planned sanitary sewer manhole. Steve stated that the
development is to occur in two phases and the developer is planning to dedicate Outlot
C within Bald Lake as parkland. Staff feels this provides no benefit to either party but
was tentatively accepted by the City with the initial review of Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition.
Rick Packer of Sienna Corporation addressed the Commission and stated that the
developer will be willing to revise their grading plan to preserve as much of the woodland
areas as is possible. Mr. Packer stated that one of the reasons the City adopted a trails
dedication policy was to make trail construction more equitable for developers. In the
case of this development, Sienna has been required to construct a trail along Wescott and
they are also being required to provide trail access to a manhole. They feel it would be
most efficient to provide a trail from Elrene to the manhole and to receive trail credit for
construction of same. It appears that the cost of this access trail will be greater than what
the trails dedication will be thus the developer prefers to do the work in lieu of paying
for it.
George Kubik asked if this access area would be used for park purposes. Steve
Sullivan stated that there has been discussion regarding this particular trail link, however,
the type of trail and timeframe have not been determined nor is there an immediate need
for a trail link for park purposes at this time. Ken Vraa stated that the trail is being
installed for utility purposes, not park purposes, and would prefer that utilities were not
in this location. It may not be in the best interest of the trails system to have utility needs
determine where trails should be placed in a development. Mr. Vraa explained that this
location makes sense for a possible trail location however, the Commission needs to review
this issue. Rick Packer pointed out that access to the manhole can come from other
locations.
Ted Billy questioned the cost for a cash trails dedication. Ken Vraa stated it would
be approximately $2600 which would equate to slightly more than the cash dedication
costs. George Kubik asked what the cost would be for a soft surface trail rather than a
ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF JUNE 7, 1990 MEETING
PAGE 4
bituminous trail to which Steve Sullivan responded it would be considerably less. Ted Billy
commented that it appears staff doesn't look at this trail link very favorably. Mr. Vraa
stated that the Commission needs to be cautious at this point because once a precedent
is set for a trails dedication credit there may be some potential problems in the future.
Ted Billy asked if the Commission didn't approve the trails credit would the developer
abandon this route. Mr. Packer responded that they do not like nor do they agree with
a manhole being placed in this location.
George Kubik expressed his preference for a separate, preferably non-bituminous
trail within this park. Dick Carroll asked if children would use this trail as a commuter
route to school in which case it would be appropriate for it to be a bituminous surface.
Ken Vraa stated it would most likely be for recreational use rather than transportation
to/from school. He also stated that the developer's request is a reasonable one however
the Commission needs to review the implications of setting this type of precedent.
Rick Packer asked if the developer would be prohibited from constructing a
bituminous trail in this location if engineering would not approve other options. Ken Vraa
asked if this could be deferred to the 2nd phase. Dick Carroll asked if it was deferred
would there be an option of considering a bituminous trail as an option as well as a soft
surface. George Kubik stated that since there were no positive plans for the type of trail
needed that perhaps the Commission should be open to other options and was hesitant
to proceed without further information to review. Ted Billy asked what the timing would
be for making a recommendation to which Steve Sullivan responded late August/early
September based on the timing for final plat. Ken Vraa suggested the Commission could
bring this issue back to the August meeting.
After further discussion, Ted Billy moved to table the cash dedication issue until
August. George Kubik added that the developer should revise the grading plan to
preserve additional woodland areas subject to staff review. John Griggs seconded the
motion with all members voting in favor.
YOUTH RECREATION SUB-COMMITTEE POSITION ON COMMISSION
Dorothy Peterson reminded the Commission of their request to investigate the
feasibility of youth representation on the Recreation sub-committee. Three issues were
identified for review. One, does the City Code allow subcommittee membership to
individuals who are not members of an advisory commission; second, what level of Council
action would be required to enact student membership to the recreation subcommittee and
third, what level of interest could be found to exist at the high schools? Dorothy
ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF JUNE 7, 1990 MEETING
PAGE 5
explained that Staffs interpretation of the city code is that the City Council can appoint
ex-officio members to a standing committee by resolution. A change in official
membership to the Commission, on the other hand, would require a code change. She
further stated that school officials positively support this idea in concept but there has
been no discussion with students at this point.
George Kubik stated that this opportunity should be opened to the high schools as
an experiment that can be reviewed annually and one that will generate more new ideas
for the Recreation subcommittee.
After further discussion George Kubik moved, Dick Carroll seconded with all
members voting in favor to recommend to the City Council approval of a youth
representative on the Advisory Parks and Recreation subcommittee. The elements of the
resolution should be as follows:
1. Student is to be an Eagan resident.
2. Student is to be a senior in high school.
3. Term of representation is July through June.
4. Student representative is ex-officio.
5. Each of the 3 school districts shall provide a representative.
6. Representation would be limited to committee appointment.
AUTUMN RIDGE UTILITIES/LAKESIDE PARK
Steve Sullivan shared a site plan showing the sanitary sewer and storm sewer
through Lakeside Park. He further stated that there has been a request to move the
utilities so as not to have as large an impact on the park as was originally anticipated.
Steve commented that the developer has been very cooperative with this project by
providing for the storm sewer to go through a smaller section of Lakeside Park.
Dick Carroll asked what the deepest cut for the storm sewer would be and Steve
responded that it would be approximately 10 feet at the deepest point. Ken Vraa
responded that this alignment is much better than what was originally planned. George
Kubik asked if this route would provide for the least amount of damage to Lakeside Park
to which Steve Sullivan responded affirmatively. Steve stated that some restoration work
would need to be completed and George Kubik asked if they was any chance of getting
funds to mitigate damage to the park. Ken stated that restoration was a requirement of
the contract.

Dick Carroll thanked the developer for their cooperation and action in resolving
this issue and further stated his approval of the storm water and sewer alignment being
proposed.
BALD LAKE
Director Vraa asked that the Bald Lake issue be addressed by the Commission at
this time.
John VonDeLinde reminded the Commission that in the fall of 1987 a special Task
Force on Water Quality was established for the purposes of overseeing the preparation
of a Comprehensive Water Quality Plan for the City of Eagan. At the time of this review,
the Water Quality Task Force felt that Bald Lake held the potential for direct contact
recreation uses such as wading, sailboarding or swimming. Given the somewhat undefined
nature of parkland acquisition adjacent to Bald Lake, it was continued to be recognized
as a Level 1 waterbody and was formally adopted as such when the plan was approved
by the City Council. John stated that Level 1 is no longer representative of the planned
recreation as uses which focus on shoreline fishing and other passive related riparian
activities. Reclassification to Class II-Indirect Contact recreation resource would more
accurately reflect the selection criteria outlined in the Water Quality Management Plan.
John further stated that based upon the engineering report for the Oaks of
Bridgewater development, plans for on-site treatment of nutrient runoff through the
construction of a nutrient pond will be adequate to preserve water quality at a le'(el
suitable for intended Class II uses. The action for the Commission to consider is whether
to change the classification from Class I-Direct Contact to Class II-Indirect Contact or
Class III-Scenic Recreation Wetland.
George Kubik commented that Class II seemed to be the most attractive option
at this time. John Griggs asked what the impact of maintaining this lake at a Class I
classification would have on the City. Mr. Vraa explained that it would not be a high
priority.
Rick Packer from Sienna Corporation commented that they were concerned about
the storm sewer water going into Bald Lake when they were working on Bridle Ridge.
He further stated that they had had a study done in the spring, summer and fall of 1988
and all three samples were off and didn't meet any requirements as set forth by the Water
Quality Management Plan. He also stated that the lake is not spring fed, rather it is fed
by percolation and the City will need to spend a great deal of money to get this to a Class
II designation. Based on results of tests Sienna had completed, Mr. Packer felt it would
be difficult to get the lake to a Class I designation.
f~

George Kubik noted that it is easier to downgrade a water body rather than
upgrade it. He felt the Class II designation should be maintained if possible but that a
Class I designation would not be a viable option.
After further discussion, Dick Carroll moved, George Kubik seconded the motion
to change the classification of Bald Lake from Class I to Class II. Five members voted
for and one against the motion. The motion was passed.
WILLMUS ADDITION TRUNK STORM SEWER
Steve Sullivan explained a situation that exists pertaining to the Wilimus Addition
south of Wilimus Park regarding a feasibility report and site inspections done on this
parcel. The report indicates raising the normal water level from 882 to 890. Currently
the Highline Trail is at an elevation of 891 and based on the proposed bounce of 20 feet,
it is evident that the trial will be occasionally inundated. Staff has suggested that B.R.A.A.
maintain the existing normal water elevation at 882 and muck excavate as well to expand
the pond area to accommodate the required wet volume. Further staff suggested that the
shoreline be enhanced with grading and shaping to resemble a typical pond edge.
Tom Angus of Bonestroo was present to show the proposed alignment of the storm
sewer pipe from the lift station to Thomas Lake Road which will result in the removal of
shrubs and will cross the trail at several locations. During construction implementation
the trail will either be left in a safe passable condition or the detouring of pedestrians to
alternate routes will be used. He further stated that the normal water level is 882 and
with a 25 year storm it would raise to 891.4. During a 50 year storm the water level
would reach 898.7 and would take 6 days to get to the 895 level where trees would be
impacted and inundated. A 100 year storm would place the water level at 902.2 taking
9 days to get to the 895 level. Mr. Angus stated these figures are based on full
development surrounding the area. After several conversations with City Staff, the normal
water level will be raised to 893.
George Kubik commented that it was critical that the integrity of the Highline Trail
be maintained and thanked Tom Angus and Steve Sullivan for all their work in resolving
this issue.
LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE
John VonDeLinde updated the Commission Members on the Landscape Ordinance
noting that the development portion of the ordinance was presented to the Planning
Commission on May 24, was approved and went to the Council on June 5. The Council
deferred the development portion until the post-development portion accompanied the
ordinance. This issue will be back to the Council on June 19 for review and action. John
stated it would be appropriate for the Commission to review and make a recommendation
on the landscape ordinance to the City Council.
ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
MINUTES OF JUNE 7, 1990 MEETING
PAGE 8
John Griggs added that the turf grass establishment portion should be looked at
specifically regarding the scenario of private ownership of lots and developer ownership
of lots. John VonDeLinde explained that the Water Quality Plan will address this issue,
especially regarding erosion.
Dick Carroll expressed his concern regarding the term "any owner". Ken Vraa
commented that the Development Agreement needs to be strengthened to work on this
issue. This is an issue that will be reviewed with the Planning Department.
After further discussion, George Kubik moved to recommend to the City Council
that the Landscape Ordinance document as presented be approved. Ted Billy seconded
the motion with all members voting in favor.
WATER QUALITY PLAN
Ken Vraa noted that the City Council approved the Water Quality Plan as
previously recommended by the Commission. Since that time Staff has had numerous
meetings regarding implementation and the recommendations that will go to the Council
on June 17. One scenario discussed was to change the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission's name to Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission.
Another question that arose concerned who should serve on this committee; should it be
existing staff, commission members and outside experts? This committee would meet to
review and address grants, do an annual report and set priorities. Now that the Water
Quality plan has been adopted it is time to implement the plan.
John VonDeLinde stated that the biggest issues are ones of education, information
and development reviews.
George Kubik commented that water quality is such a large issue and he is glad
to see that it is receiving such a high priority.
TRAILS SURVEY RESULTS
Jennifer Peterson, Recreation Intern, addressed the Commission by explaining the
research project she was required to do to complete her requirements for her degree from
Mankato State. The project dealt with trail use on the County Trails along Pilot Knob
Road and Cliff Road. The subjects of the study were 101 users of the Eagan/Dakota
County Trails along Pilot Knob Road and Cliff Road. The subjects were randomly
selected by the researcher as they were using the trails. In addition to those who were
interviewed, all those observed using the trails were included in the total number of users.

After her very thorough presentation George Kubik thanked Jennifer for the
excellent job she had done in her research and presentation.
Jennifer commented that one of the most frequently requested services was to have
the trails plowed in the winter so that they could be used year round. She also stated that
most users felt the existing trails were adequate for their needs.
Ted Billy congratulated Jennifer for a quality report and recommended that she get
an "A". Jack Johnson also thanked Jennifer for all the valuable information she brought
to the Commission that will be a great resource for future projects.
ICE ARENA TASK FORCE
Ken Vraa explained that the Council has established a Task Force for the ice arena
and they are looking for one member from the Commission to serve on this committee.
The time involvement would be approximately 2 meetings a month and they would meet
typically on Wednesdays at 5:00 P.M. Jack Johnson commented that he already felt
involved in this issue and volunteered to serve on the committee.
PARKS DEVELOPMENT
Steve Sullivan stated that bituminous is being placed on the Northview parking lot
with June 15 set as the anticipated completion date. He also noted that the building
contract is underway for the various shelter buildings throughout the city.

HAPPENINGS
George Kubik commented on item #7, budget cuts, and asked what kinds of cuts
are anticipated for Parks and Recreation. Ken Vraa responded that the budget cuts will
be city wide and he will keep the Commission abreast of any changes to be made in the
budget. Commission members also commented on Water Landgrebe beginning his
internship on June 11, their disappointment that the star gazing activity was fogged out
and their enthusiasm for again sponsoring the skateboard contest on July 3rd for avid
skateboarders to show their stuff!

OLYMPIC TORCH RUN
Paula Nowariak, Recreation Supervisor, updated the Commission on the plans for
the Olympic Torch Run which will be run through Eagan on Monday, July 2, 1990. The
torch will be through Eagan from approximately 1:30 to 2:30 P.M. with 53 runners carrying
the torch over 4.8 miles. Eagan will receive the torch at the Apple Valley border on
Johnny Cake Ridge Road and will conclude their route at McDonalds on Silver Bell Road.
McDonalds is a corporate sponsor of this event and have been working diligently
to make sure it runs smoothly. Federal Land has gotten involved by incorporating some
special events that include the children from New Horizon along the parade route.
Recreation's program "Summer in the Park" will have kids and balloons posted along the
torch route as well. Paula also stated that Channel 5 will be present to cover the event.
An open house is also scheduled for Sunday, July 1 between 6-8 PM at Thomas Lake
Pavilion to celebrate the Torch Run event. George Kubik thanked McDonalds and
Channel 5 for their help and support of this activity.
With no further business to conduct, Dick Carroll moved, Jack Johnson seconded
with all members voting in favor to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at

MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER
DATE: JULY 9, 1990
RE: COVENTRY PASS- 3RD ADDITION
BACKGROUND
The Commission previously reviewed this proposal in January of 1989 as Coventry Pass
Addition. The proposal was for the preliminary plat of 227 lots on 122 acres. The
Commission may recall that the parks dedication included parkland, pond credit, slope
credit, cash balance with the platting of the 142nd and all additional lots. The adopted
parkland dedication for Coventry Pass Addition is according to Exhibit E, attached to this
memorandum.
The developer has since final platted 98 lots with Coventry Pass, 1st & 2nd Additions.
PROPOSAL
The current proposal is for the preliminary plat of 50 lots on 19.8 acres.
ITEMS FOR REVIEW
The Commission will need to review the following items.
1. What is the parks dedication requirement?
2. What is the trails dedication requirement?
ITEM #1 - PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENT
The overall preliminary platting of 122 acres with Coventry Pass Addition, resulted in the
negotiated parkland dedication described in Exhibit E. The phased final platting of
Coventry Pass, 1st and 2nd Additions met these parkland dedication requirements. The
Planning Department required a new application for preliminary plat for the 3rd Addition
due to revised roadway alignments and lot configurations. In consideration that these
minor revisions bare no major consequence to the parkland dedication as negotiated, staff
recommends that the pending parkland dedication for Coventry Pass Addition be conveyed
to this pending preliminary plat.
ITEM #2 - TRAILS DEDICATION REQUIREMENT
All preliminary plat applications requested after the adoption of the Trails Dedication
Policy are subject to trailways obligations. Coventry Pass, 1st & 2nd Additions were final
platted from the Coventry Pass Addition Preliminary Plat. Coventry Pass Addition
Preliminary Plat was completed prior to the Trails dedication policy. The current
application for preliminary plat will be subject to a cash trailway obligation.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION
The Commission may consider the following recommendations:
1. The preliminary plat be subject to the parkland dedication obligations as outlined
in Exhibit E of this memorandum.
2. The preliminary plat be subject to a cash trailway dedication.

EXHIBIT E
CONDITIONS TO PARKLAND DEDICATION
1. The developer shall be responsible for paying a cash parks
dedication at the final platting of the 142nd lot and all future lots
within the Coventry Pass subdivision.
2. The developer provide a parkland dedication according to the
parcel configuration depicted on the p rk development plan provided
by the City dated 6/7/89 and reflected by the Coventry Pass 1st
Addition plat.
The 15.726 acre parcel is equivalent to 5.1 acres of parkland
dedication.
3. The developer shall be responsible for the common excavation,
clear grubbing subgrade correction, topsoil placement and fine
grading of the entire park according to the park development plan
provided by the City dated 6/7/89.
4. The City of Eagan will pay the developer $8,720.45 for the
grading of the park according to the park development plan provided
by the City dated 6/7/89.
5. The developer shall receive a cash parkland credit at 50% for
ponding equivalent to 1.53 parkland acres. The developer shall
receive a cash parkland credit at 20% for steep slopes equivalent to
1.10 parkland acres.
6. The developer shall install an 8 foot bituminous trail within
the outlot located between Country View Drive and Prairie Ridge Road.
7. The developer shall be responsible for any correction of the
buried debris providing a quality parkland condition approved and
deemed appropriate by the City.
8. An 8 foot bituminous trail be placed along Dodd Road. (This is
proposed to occur with the upgrading of Dodd Road).
MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER
DATE: JULY 9, 1990
RE: BURRVIEW PONDS ADDITION
Background
The Burrview Ponds Addition parcel is located south of State Highway #55 and north of
Chapel Lane (See Figure #1).
This informational item is being brought before the Commission in order to provide
direction to the developer in regards to park dedication needs and requirements. The
Commission will be reviewing this item again at the August 2 meeting.
Proposal
An application has been submitted requesting the preliminary plat of 13.7 acres for two
apartment buildings.
Items for Commission Review
The developer has requested that the parks dedication be fulfilled through a park land
contribution, including facility development of a vita par course, trail and public parking
area.
Analysis
This proposal by the developer has not been formalized with detailed drawings indicating
parking lot size, number of vita par stations or trail length and type. Therefore, the
review of this concept for parks dedication credit is based on limited and subjective
information.

Burrview Ponds Addition
July 9, 1990
Page 2
The parcel is within Park Service Area #12S which is served by Burr Oaks Park. Burr
Oaks park facility program includes: (2) playgrounds, tennis courts, ballfield, open play
area, parking lot, pond and over 3,000 lineal feet of trailways. The subject parcel, as a
result of its location, does not have direct pedestrian access to Burr Oaks Park.
This parcel is 13.7 acres in which 7.4 acres is proposed undisturbed. This area is
comprised of: 3.5 acres of pond, 2.6 acres of steep slopes and 1.3 acres of moderate/flat
slopes. The site is covered with a scattering of woodlands ranging from secondary type
growth to a few oaks. The topographic character is a basin with steep sideslopes to a
pond within the northern portion of the site.
The parks dedication for this proposal at $540.00 a unit equals $71,280.00. The trails
dedication at $100.00 a unit equals $13,200.00.
Conclusion
As mentioned, Staff's review of the developer's proposal for parkland dedication with
facility improvement is based on limited information. The Commission may want to ask
the following questions with this review:
1. Does the proposal fulfill the needs or goals within the Parks System Plan.
2. Is the proposal the best use of parks dedication resources?
3. How do we serve this apartment complex within Park Service Area #12?
The Parks System Plan does indicate a vita par course as future development within Goat
Hill Park. Goat Hill Park is a community oriented athletic park central to the City. The
vita par use coincides with the intended usership of Goat Hill and the future utilization
of the H. U. D. parcel. The development of a vita par course within the subject parcel
is inconsistent with the intent of the Parks System Plan. The proposal's isolated location,
small scale and lack of relationship to compatible alternative uses does not support good
park system facility planning.
Staff's review of Park Service Area #12 indicates pending high priority facility needs within
Burr Oaks Park. Burr Oaks North and South are both scheduled for playground
improvements in 1990/1991. Burr Oaks South is under contract for $24,000 of trail
improvements under I. C. 90-1. Miscellaneous improvements such as parking lots, tennis
courts and trails have been completed over the past two years.

It is Staff's opinion that the cash park dedication obligation best serves the parks system
by conveying moneys toward facility development within Burr Oaks Park.
The subject parcel does not have direct pedestrian access to Burr Oaks Park. The
adjacent, existing, residential development precludes any trail corridor. Whether a trail
easement could be negotiated has not been unpursued by either the developer or Staff.
The zoning chapter of the City Code requires that all multiple land uses provide minimum
recreational area as follows:
12. Each multiple dwelling complex shall have a minimum recreation area equal
to two hundred (200) square feet for each dwelling unit containing two (2) or less
bedrooms and one hundred (100) additional square feet for each dwelling unit
containing more than two (2) hundred (100) feet from any ponding area.
Source: Ordinance No. 52
Effective Date: 4-25-75
The Commission has interpreted this code requirement in past developments as a
maintained area of flat to moderate slopes which could accommodate open field play
activities. Staff feels that the inclusion of a tot lot within the open play space would
provide recreational opportunities for the young children within the development. The
parks dedication ordinance does provide the opportunity for credit to the developer for
a tot lot facility.
For Commission Action
No formal action by Commission is necessary. Staff seeks direction from the Commission
in regards to the developer's proposal for parkland dedication with facilities development
in lieu of a cash contribution.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER
DATE: JULY 7, 1990
RE: THE OAKS OF BRIDGEWATER
PROPOSAL
An application has been submitted requesting the preliminary plat of 59 single family lots
and three outlots on 37.4 acres.
BACKGROUND
The proposal is located south of Wescott Road, west of Elrene Road, east of Bald Lake,
north of Bridle Ridge 1st Addition (See Figure #1).
The Commission has previously reviewed this parcel as part of Eagan Hills Farms Planned
Development. In accordance with the Bridle Ridge 1st Addition Development Agreement,
this parcel as part of a larger parcel, fulfilled its parks dedication with the land
contribution of Bridle Ridge Park, several green spaces and a cash contribution for
parkland development. (See Figure #2.)
In 1988 Sienna Corporation made application for Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition. This
proposal included the current Oaks of Bridgewater parcel, 48 lots south of Bald Lake
currently platted as Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition and 90 acres located north of Bald Lake
called Govern Trust. The Govern Trust was not included in the Eagan Hills Farm
Planned Development and would be subject to a parks dedication. Sienna intended to
phase the construction with the 48 lots south of Bald Lake being improved first, the
Govern Trust Property second and the current Oaks of Bridgewater Proposal third.
Sienna requested that a parkland dedication "equivalent" for the Oaks of Bridgewater
parcel be transferred to the Govern Trust property. The Oaks of Bridgewater would then
take on the parkland dedication obligations of the Govern Trust at the time of the third
phase. This proposal was reviewed and approved by the Commission.
Sienna Corporation has been unable to obtain the Govern Trust Property. Therefore, they
now request that the previously approved parks dedication agreement as outlined by the
Eagan Hills Planned Development and Bridle Ridge 1st Addition be readopted as initially
approved (See Figure #2).
~n .
The Commission reviewed the pending application at the June meeting and recommended
that staff provide additional information in regards to the trailways obligations. The item
was tabled and was to be reintroduced to the Commission at the July meeting.
Since the Commission's initial review in June, the developer has requested that storm
water be conveyed away from Bald Lake and into a proposed pond on parkland property.
The developer has also requested that the parkland dedication occur with the second
phase of the project and not with the final plat.
ITEMS FOR COMMISSION REVIEW
The Commission will need to review the following items:
1. What is the parks dedication requirement?
2. What is the trails dedication requirement?
3. What is the impact to the parkland with the proposed pond.
ITEM #1 - PARKS DEDICATION REQUIREMENT
Based on the Eagan Hills Farms Planned Development and Bridle Ridge, 1st Addition
Development Agreement, this proposal is subject to a land dedication according to Figure
#2. The proposal includes a parks dedication depicted as Outlot C. This area will
provide public access to Bald Lake. The developer wishes to dedicate this land with the
second phase of construction. This is tentatively scheduled for the summer of 1991. In
the meantime, Outlot C will be owned by the adjacent Hall Homestead. The proposed
land dedication is consistent with the parkland dedication agreement of Eagan Hills Farm
PD.
ITEM #2 - TRAILS DEDICATION REQUIREMENT
The City Attorney has reviewed the Eagan Hills Planned Development Agreement and
found that the specific parkland/trail conditions are binding obligations. These specific
conditions pre-existed the trails dedication policy. Therefore, no trails dedication is
necessary. The Eagan Hills PD, Bridle Ridge, 1st & 2nd Development Agreements are
the pending developmental conditions in regards to both parks and trailway dedication.
The developer is required to place an 8' bituminous trail within Outlot A, Bridle Ridge,
1st Addition to provide maintenance access to a sanitary sewer manhole within Lot 12
(Figure #3). The developer has requested credit for this trail in consideration that it lies
within a trail corridor. Staff's review concludes that the development of the Eagan Hills
Farm lineal green space trail system is a long range development consideration. The trail
type could be either a hard or soft surface. Staff's preliminary opinion is that these trails
should be mowed trails similar to Blackhawk and Patrick Eagan parks. These trails have
low development and maintenance costs. A mowed trail accommodates typical hiking and
aesthetically compliments these preservation corridors. The engineering requirement for
a .
a hard surface maintenance access meets utility design standards. These standards do not
directly correspond to trails dedication credit. As well, the maintenance access does not
meet short term parkland development and funding priorities.
ITEM #3 - IMPACT TO THE PARKLAND WITH THE PROPOSED POND
The Commission at the June meeting recommended the re-classification of Bald Lake to
a Level 2, Indirect contact Water body. The developer at that time proposed to convey
50% of the storm water into Bald Lake and provide a cash contribution to the Water
Quality Fund. The developer has been working with City staff on a proposal to convey
all storm water away from Bald Lake to a pond area south of the development within
adjacent parkland. This parkland is within the lineal green space dedicated with Bridle
Ridge, 2nd Addition (See Figure #4). The conveyance of storm water away from Bald
Lake minimizes negative water quality impact from the proposed development. The
developer has agreed to grade a trail pad around the proposed pond assuring an
alignment above the high water level. This grading is to mitigate the pond placement,
which is where the trail was intended to be located. Typically, staff does not promote
conveyance of storm water onto park land. In this case, Bald Lake water quality is
protected, therefore enhancing future use and parkland facility development.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION
The Commission may consider the following recommendations:
1. The developer dedicates to the City of Eagan a land contribution of Outlot C with
the second phase of development. This dedication shall occur no later than
September 1, 1991.
2. The developer shall install a storm water pond within Outlot E, Bridle Ridge, 2nd
Addition. The developer shall grade a 10' wide trail pad from Outlot A, Bridle
Ridge, 1st Addition, around and along the south side of the proposed pond. The
developer shall restore the disturbed area within the park with the mixed height
mesic prairie mix according to Parks and Recreation Department standard
specifications. The Parks & Recreation Department shall review and approve all
construction plans prior to implementation.
3. No credit shall be given to the developer for the installation of the bituminous
utility access.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JULY 6, 1990
SUBJECT: RESERVATION FEES FOR SHELTERS, PAVILIONS AND
SUN SHELTERS
ISSUE
Should residents who reserve a shelter, pavilion or sun shelter be given a
refund of their reservation fee in the event of inclement weather occurring on the
date of reservation?
BACKGROUND
The issue of inclement weather entitling someone who has reserved a shelter,
pavilion or sun shelter to a refund of that reservation fee was brought to the
attention of the Director of Parks and Recreation, Ken Vraa.
The reservation fee is $35 when reserving between the hours of 10 - 4 and 5 -
10. It is $50 between the hours of 10 -10 p.m. A $100 deposit is required. The
resident must pay within 48 hours of confirmed reservation.
Currently, fl refund is issued for reservation fees of shelters, pavilions and sun
shelters unless there is a two week notice or should the Eagan Parks and
Recreation Department fail to fulfill any part of the agreement. The following
reasons for not issuing a refund due to inclement weather are.
1. The purpose of these structures are to protect the party in the event that
inclement weather arises.
2. The fee covers time and salary for an individual to open a structure, ensure it
is operational and ready for use. In addition the fee covers administrative
costs.
3. Above all, it is a fee for reserving a structure. In the event of an cancellation
after the two week notice deadline, the fee acts as a means to recover for the
loss of what could have been open date for someone else.
4. This fee is also the lowest possible fee charged without sacrificing any of the
quality service offered currently.
35.
CONCERNS REGARDING CHANGES IN POLICY
The question arises - What is inclement weather? Who will determine the
definition of inclement weather? When will inclement weather become a factor
in determining the need for a refund? - in other words, if it rains three hours
before the start of someone's picnic, is this grounds for a refund? If it rains a
half hour after the start time, is this grounds for a refund? There is also the
problem of defining such a refund policy to the public. The nature of weather is
inherently variable, as a result, the many scenarios of weather conditions
derived from these variables would make it virtually impossible to outline a
policy for refunds due to inclement weather, let alone explaining such a policy
to the public. In most cases, cancellation, because of weather, will still result in
the City paying for a scheduled attendant.
If such a policy could be developed, a positive result might be better community
relations. This also, is not readily measurable. In fact, it may very well be that
no difference in service relations be noticed. Since most everyone is
accustomed to inclement weather, it will only affect those who are adamant
about refunds.
If refunds were given to residents, this would increase the cost of servicing
residents, since there would be extra cost for handling the task of refunding.
Moreover, the more refunds issued means valuable time taken from clerical staff
to do other business.
ALTERNATIVES
The Commission may wish to review the current policy and the question at hand
to determine any need to change the policy. Some alternatives for review by
the commission are as follows.
1. Allow the resident to reserve a later date free of charge, if a desirable date is
open. If no such date exists, then the resident must except the no refund policy.
2. Return half of the reservation fee. This will mean not covering all the costs
incurred to the city; however, by refunding only half of the fee, this would at least
show that the City and party involved share equally the problem of inclement
weather.
3. Do nothing and maintain same policy.
4. Allow total refunds for inclement weather.
5. Add to the fee a inclement weather fee. This fee would be incurred if
inclement weather should occur and would cover some administrative costs
and the rest of the fee would be refunded. When there is no problem with
weather, then the weather fee would be returned.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The current policy need not be changed. Other communities neighboring have
been asked - do they refund? - all said no. The low cost reservation fee covers
the cost of administration, preparation and maintenance of shelters, pavilions
and sun shelters. More importantly, these structure's purpose is to protect
participants in the event of inclement weather.
MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER
DATE: JULY 5, 1990
RE: AWARD CONTRACT 90-1
Sealed bids were received and read at 1:30 on July 5, 1990 for Improvement Contract
90-1. Seventeen plan sets were distributed with five bids being submitted.
This project includes the improvement of seven parks within the City of Eagan. These
parks are: Wescott Station Park, Carlson Lake Park, Bur Oaks Park, Trapp Farm Park,
Bridle Ridge Park, Coventry Pass Park and Woodhaven Park. The work consists of
grading, utilities, trails, parking lots, hard court play areas, playgrounds perimeter curbing
and turf establishment.
The Landscape Architect's estimate for these improvements is $280,000.00. Total project
base bids ranged from $262,764.25 to $373,474.00. (See attached bid tab). The bidders
also submitted four alternate bids as follows:
Alternate #1/Subgrade Excavation
Alternate #2/Granular Fill Borrow
Alternate #3/Topsoil Borrow
Alternate #4/Carlson Lake Park/West
Staff's review of the low bidders total project base bid of $262,764.25 is below the
Landscape Architect's estimate by 6% and reflective of typical developmental costs. The
alternate bid results are good values, but do not meet the developmental priorities for the
park system. Bituminous Roadways Incorporated, the low bidder, is a reputable contractor
with qualifications to successfully complete this contract.

DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS
JULY 6, 1990
1. An anonymous donation of $150.00 was received by the department. Staff are
directed to send a needy child to day camp or another activity that will provide
respite for child and parent.
2. A schedule of events board and a bulletin board have been installed at the
Northview Tennis Courts Kiosk. Programmed use of the courts includes lessons,
the South of the River Tennis Camp, Domino's Team Tennis, a B.E.A.T. Co-Rec
Tennis League and a soon to begin Unisys League.
3. Parent feedback on the new youth tennis lesson format (Monday through Friday
of one week) is supportive. Parents are registering their children for a second week
and in some cases even a third. For the first time in the history of the department,
it appears that for the week of July 16, all sections of youth tennis offered will fill!
4. The concession room at Northview successfully passed state inspection and is a
licensed facility.
5. Domino's team tennis, despite the need for additional female players, began play
with a "mixer" at Northview on June 11, the Domino's Pizza "parlor" in Town
Centre donated half of the ten (10) pizza's required for the event. The league is
a merger of the Eagan and Inver Grove Heights Leagues and is 18 teams strong.
Eleven of the teams are Eagan's (four teams participated in 1988 & 89). Five of
the teams were assembled from the draft list of people wanting to play.
6. During the month of July, 31 baseball games will be played at Goat Hill. It is
anticipated that rain make-ups will increase that number.
7. Staff will meet with Eagan High School and Dakota Hills Middle School Athletic
and physical education faculty on July 13 to plan for the upcoming school year, in
order to plan for the timing of maintenance projects, the schools' needs and
Northview's role in meeting needs are to be identified.
It is important also that department fall and spring programs at Northview continue
to receive priority access.
8. The department has issued an invitation to the Minnesota State High School
League to be host to the 1991 Girls State High School Softball Tournament. Eagan
High School would co-host. The State High School League is searching for a site
that could accommodate the "A" and "AA" Tournaments at one site. Northview
offers that capability. Staff has been advised that the decision will be announced
45
in October. Should the department be successful, partnerships with the business
community will need to be fostered.
9. The Torch Run Reception at Thomas Lake Park on Sunday, July 1st, attracted 350
runners, volunteers and dignitaries from Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Lakeville,
Farmington, Rosemount and Savage. Recreation supervisors from the communities
served the picnic supper, Ken Vraa was master of ceremonies for a brief program
during which Mayor Tom Egan welcomed the guests and thanked them for
volunteering for the Torch Run. Randy Opelt from Burnsville, Ms. Senta from
Lakeville and Jim Bell from Farmington also spoke. Coca Cola donated product
for the picnic, McDonalds Corporation and personnel at local McDonalds were
present, provided orange drink, "Mack the Night" and "Gruncie" characters. Ronald
McDonald did perform; his presence was not firm until he arrived!
10. The softball and baseball seasons offered to youth by the Eagan Athletic
Association are beginning to wind down. The youngest age groups finished their
seasons on June 28. Staff will begin counting the number of soccer overlays needed
on ballfield!
11. A NYSCA Coaches Clinic for Rosemount Area Athletic Association soccer coaches
has been set for July 16.
12. The Eagan Stagedoor Performers have scheduled tryouts on July 21 & 22 for their
"performance" for the Dakota, Inc. Fun Fest. A "lip sync" contest is planned.
13. Our first "Moonlight Movie" drew 47 Laurel and Hardy fans. A king-sized sheet
served as the screen on the back of the shelter at Trapp Farm Park. The bug
spray kept the mosquitos at bay long enough to enjoy three films. The next one
will feature Star Trek on July 23.
14. Thirty-six (36) teams participated in our League Tournament on June 16 and 17.
The Co-Rec Tournament happens July 14 and 15.
15. A video will be put together of Camp Creative performers as well as the Torch
Run. All 56 runners were videotaped from a van in the procession escorting the
U.S. Olympic Festival Flame. The edited shows will be cablecast on Public Access,
Channel 33, this summer.
16. The Olympic Festival Torch traveled through Eagan on July 2. Fifty-six (56)
runners carried it 4.8 miles through the streets of Eagan. Summer-in-the Park
children were bused to Rahn Athletic where they lined Nicols Rd. The children
carried balloons, banners, flats and mini torches. The excitement was felt by all
involved.
17. The Eaganettes "Fun With Dance Program" marched in the Eagan, 4th of July
Parade. Over one hundred (100) 5 to 12 year olds participated.
18. Summer programs are now in their 5th week. Last weeks hot weather and 4th of
July Holiday hurt Summer-in-the-Park attendance, but with a good weather forecast
for this week, attendance should pick up again.
19. Forestry Department implemented replacements of dead trees in a number of city
parks including Bridle Ridge, Mueller Farm, Goat Hill, Walnut Hill, Quarry, Cedar
Pond, etc. This year, the focus of the operation's budget will be on replacement
of trees lost during the drought of 1987-1989.
20. Implementation of the tree inventory and management system continued into the
month of June. This included the continued identification and marking of newly
planted trees, completion of the software program and loading of base data on
individual trees.
21. Other miscellaneous forestry tasks undertaken in June included removal and clean
up of stumps in various parks, installation of flower beds at City Hall and Cedar
Pond Park, tree pruning and mulch replacement. The Forestry Division also began
spraying for pine saw flies which have become a problem on newer growth shoots
on Black Hills and Colorado Blue Spruce.
22. The new informational kiosk adjacent to the tennis courts at Northview was
completed in July.
23. The Twin Cities Tree Trust Organization installed a new planter box adjacent to
the shelter building at Rahn Athletic Park. The box will be planted with shrubs
and flowers. It has a lap cedar siding to match the exterior of the building.
24. In late June, the Tree Trust also began work on the construction of two sand
volleyball courts at Rahn Athletic Park. Work will continue on this project into the
month of July; when completed, it will represent the first regulation size volleyball
courts in the park system for regulation and league play.
25. Work is also under way on a new tot lot play structure in Rahn Park next to the
park shelter building. This structure is being added to facilitate usage by the Tiny
Tots and summer recreation program. Completion is expected by mid-July.
26. An adult court-referred volunteer has begun work on repainting the interior of all
city hockey rinks. This individual, who has more than 160 hours of community
service work has already finished seven rinks and will complete the remainder by
the first part of August.
4.1.
27. The foot path between Rahn Athletic and Rahn Park was upgraded with the
application of a wood chip base extending approximately 300 feet through a wooded
area.
28. Mid-season fertilization was performed at Northview, Goat Hill and Rahn Athletic
parks. The abnormal amount of rainfall combined with heavy usage of these
facilities suggested an earlier than normal mid-season application of nitrogen
fertilizer.
29. The "old" (circa 1973) tot lot equipment was removed from Lexington and
Woodhaven Parks in June. These areas have subsequently been regraded and
sodded and restored with sod; sodding was also done in numerous areas including
Sky Hill, Goat Hill, Thomas Lake and Mueller Farm Parks.
30. The spring broad leaf weed spraying program was wrapped up in early June. This
year's spraying was hampered to some extent by the numerous rain days and high
winds. Despite this, the program was completed as expected with the next
application to occur in September.
31. Native prairie signs were installed at Thomas Lake identifying these areas within
the park; an identification sign at the old town hall was also fabricated and
installed during the month of June.
32. The staircase and mezzanine area was completed in the Thomas Lake shelter
building to serve as a storage area for off-season supplies.
33. Repairs and mesh replacement was made to the backstops at Woodhaven, Beryl
and Gold Trail, and at Rahn Park East.
34. Identification names "Aspen", "Birch" and "Pines" were installed on the new
Northview Tennis Courts along with court identification numbers.
35. Other miscellaneous maintenance activities included tennis/hard court inspections,
playground inspections, trash pick up, ball diamond and athletic field striping and
infield maintenance. Mowing of park areas, boulevards, and public buildings
continued to be a major challenge for the Department in June as warm
temperatures coupled with the wettest month on records accelerated turf growth
while hampering Department operations. In spite of these conditions, the
Department was largely able to keep up with mowing of the parks with none of the
sites getting out of hand.
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT & REZONING
APPLICANT: TRINITY LONE OAK LUTHERAN CHURCH
LOCATION: 2950 DODD ROAD (SE 1/4 SECTION 2)
EXISTING ZONING: GB (GENERAL BUSINESS) & R-4 (MULTIPLE
RESIDENTIAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 26, 1990
DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 18, 1990
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted requesting a
Preliminary Plat and a Rezoning of approximately 9.95 acres of land currently zoned GB
and R-4 to PF (Public Facility) of the 9.95 acres gross area, 4.32 acres represent the
cemetery. In addition to these applications, the church is also preparing to expand their
facility.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: Currently the church site contains a cemetery, the church
built in 1904, the old school building built in 1954, and the Trinity Lone Oak Lutheran
School built in 1972. The school serves grades K-2. The site has City water, but not
sewer.
COMMENTS: When the City was made aware of the expansion plans for this site, the
owner was informed of the need for platting and rezoning the property. Because this
expansion will result in the final development phase of this property, platting is necessary.
Because the City Code does not allow the expansion of a non-conforming use, the
Rezoning of the property will clean up the conflicting zoning situation. The PF zoning will
coincide with the Land Use Guide Plan designation of Public Facility for this area.
The expansion will include the removal of the old school building which is currently being
utilized as office space. The expansion will be built off the rear or east side of the
existing church and will include additional church seating space that will double the seating
capacity to approx. 400 persons, meeting rooms, day care area and a basketball court
which will double as a multi-purpose room. The basement of the addition will connect
with the school and accommodate offices, a kitchen area, storage, and a washroom.
~D .
Based on seating capacity, the City Code requires 114 on-site parking spaces. The plans
submitted provide 120 parking spaces. All building and parking setbacks also meet Code
requirements, except for the parking setback along the southern boundary. This
parking/drive area has a setback of approximately 6' from the adjacent Agricultural zoned
land. Because a 20' setback is required where a PF district abuts Agricultural or
Residential land, a Variance of 14' is necessary to allow this parking area along the south
property line.
The facade of the addition will be brick, except for the basketball/multi-purpose building
which will have painted, textured concrete walls, and a pitched roof that will tie in with
the existing church.
Other improvements to the site will include City sewer and paved parking for vehicles.
3I
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: This plat provides for the
regrading of a portion of a site that is partially developed.
Approximately 70% of the 10 acre plat is a combination of cemetery,
ponding area, or land that will not be developed as part of this
plat. The proposed grading will result in minimal disturbance of
vegetation since the area of the grading is over existing gravel
surfaced parking and driving areas.
The grading will not result in any significant change to the
existing drainage patterns and storm sewer will be provided for
surface water drainage from the proposed parking areas and
buildings. Surface water drainage will be directed either east to
Pond FP-7 or southwest to the easterly ditch along TH 149/55. Pond
FP-7 is a designated ponding area in the City's Comprehensive Storm
Water Management Plan.
WATER QUALITY: Storm water drainage from the developed portion of
the site and from the areas that will not be further developed will
ultimately flow into either Pond FP-7 or GP-11. These ponds are
classified as a nutrient trap (FP-7) and a storm water basin
(GP-11) under the Water Quality Management Plan. Based on the land
use and runoff characteristics from the site, a total of 0.6 acre-
feet of wet storage volume should be provided for these drainage
areas. Since Pond FP-7 is a nutrient trap and partially within the
plat, staff recommends that a cash contribution to the water
quality fund be required for this plat.
UTILITIES: Existing sanitary sewer for the plat consists of a
septic tank and drain field. As part of the plat, sanitary sewer
is proposed to be extended from an existing sanitary sewer main
along the north edge of the plat to the area of the existing and
proposed buildings. As proposed, the extension would be through
the middle of the property, be privately owned, and not be extended
to the south property line. Since sanitary sewer for properties
south of this plat must be provided from the same sanitary main
along the north edge of this plat, staff recommends that the
sanitary sewer be extended to the south property line and the sewer
be a public line.
Existing buildings within the plat are served by an 8" water main
along TH 149/55 that is of adequate size and pressure to serve the
proposed addition to the site. Fire hydrants located northwest of
the existing church building and along the north side of the
existing buildings provide the existing fire protection.
Additional hydrants are not included in the preliminary plans, but
staff recommends that water main be extended and an additional
hydrant be added along the edge of the proposed parking lot SE of
the existing school building to provide adequate fire protection..
5a
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Existing street access is provided by
an entrance off of TH 149/55 and is not proposed to be changed.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS/PERMITS: An easement for sanitary sewer
will be required for the sewer extended to the south property line
in addition to the easement required for Pond FP-7.
A drainage permit and a utility permit will be required from MnDOT
for construction of storm sewer at the entrance from TH 55/149.
The development will be responsible for ensuring that all
regulatory agency permits are obtained prior to final plat
approval.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - TRINITY LONE OAK LUTHERAN:
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.

GALAXIE CLIFF PLAZA 2ND ADDITION
APPLICANT: GALA7IIE CLIFF PLAZA PARTNERSHIP
LOCATION: NW 114 OF SECTION 32
EXISTING ZONING: PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 26, 1990
DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 20, 1990
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary
Plat for the Galaxie Cliff Plaza 2nd Addition consisting of approximately 7.6 acres with
one 2.1 acre lot for a medical clinic, with the remaining area for future development and
extension of Plaza Drive. The 25.36 acre Galaxie Cliff Plaza Planned Development was
approved in September 1988, allowing development of the Burnet Realty building (Merrill
Lynch) and seven Outlots for Limited Business uses. The PD has a five-year length and
a condition stating that all Outlots shall be reviewed by the Advisory Planning Commission
and the City Council. Park Nicollet Medical Center will own and be the sole tenant of
the building.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: Currently the proposed building site consists of grass on fill
from the previous development. There are no trees on this area. With this development,
Plaza Drive will be extended to the southwest, looping out to Galaxie Avenue at the
intersection of West Wind Trail. Lot 1, Block 1, is a portion of what previously was
platted as Outlot C in the Galaxie Cliff Plaza Addition.
SITE PLAN: Site circulation will be nearly the same as with the Burnet Realty Building,
with shared entry drives on the property lines and drive aisles that promote a continuous
flow. A covered drop-off area is provided on the front of the building. It should be
noted that this is a "walk in" type of clinic only, not an urgent care facility. There will be
no ambulance service or regular late office hours. For a medical clinic, Code requires one
parking stall for each 150 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The 20,000 sq. ft. clinic requires 133
parking stalls and 103 have been provided. Typically a net leasable square footage, rather
than the gross building area, is used when determining parking requirements in a Limited
Business district. With that scenario, 106 spaces would be required. Cross parking
easements will be provided with the Burnet Realty building and the area to the west when
it develops. All other Limited Business Code requirements and setbacks have been
satisfied.
m
Building elevations have been submitted, however the finish has not been selected as of
yet. Staff recommends brick in order to be consistent with the Burnet building. The
landscape plan is consistent in quantity, but the street/tree effect along Plaza Drive will
not be uniform due to the multiple species of overstory trees. The original design goal
was to have a boulevard effect such as that along Blue Cross Road. The plan should be
modified, placing only ash trees in the right-of-way.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: This development involves the
grading of one lot and the extension of Circulation Drive south to
Galaxie Avenue. Within the proposed lot, there is a differential
in elevation of approximately 30'. The proposed grading of the lot
will significantly change the topography by lowering the high point
15' and approximately matching the low point. Grading for the
street construction will consist primarily of filling with maximum
fills of 16'. Cuts for street construction will be minimal.
The maximum proposed street grade is 6.7% near the intersection
with Galaxie Avenue but the city standard for 2% street grade at
the intersection is proposed.
Storm water drainage from the site is proposed to be directed into
Pond AP-14 in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Storm Water
Management Plan. The outlet for Pond AP-14 is existing. Outlets
for two low areas west of the proposed street will be provided by
the proposed storm sewer. Storm water from low areas between the
street and Galaxie Avenue will outlet overland to Pond AP-14.
WATER OOALITY: Storm water drainage from the lot will flow into
Pond AP-14 which is classified as a Sediment Basin under the City's
Water Quality Management Plan.
The total drainage area to Pond AP-14 consists of 50 acres of which
80 percent is commercial and 20 percent residential. Pond AP-14
requires a total wet storage volume of 9.0 acre-feet in a single
cell pond or 4.9 acre-feet as a two-cell pond.
A total of 0.95 acre-feet of wet pond volume and 0.3 acres of land
is required to serve the proposed development of the one lot.
Since the required wet storage volume can be provided within Pond
AP-14, staff recommends that a cash contribution to the water
quality fund be required for the development of the lot. Wet
storage requirements for the proposed Outlot will be determined
when development occurs.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity, and depth
is available within Galaxie Avenue. The sewer is proposed to be
extended within the proposed street from the intersection with
Galaxie Avenue to serve the adjacent outlots and proposed lot.
The sewer is proposed to be connected to an existing stub within
the west boulevard of Galaxie Avenue.
An 8" water main of sufficient size, pressure and capacity to serve
the development, is proposed to be extended south from the existing
end of Circulation Drive to the intersection with Galaxie Avenue.
At the intersection the main is proposed to be connected to an
existing stub within the west boulevard of Galaxie Avenue.
~O .
STREET/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Street access to the development will
consist of the extension of Circulation Drive south to an
intersection with Galaxie Avenue opposite Narvik Drive. In
addition, a street will be stubbed to the southwest for access to

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT
COVENTRY PASS 3RD ADDITION
APPLICANT: UNITED MORTGAGE CORPORATION
LOCATION: E 1/2 OF SECTION 24
EXISTING ZONING: R-1 (SINGLE FAMILY)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 26, 1990
DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 19, 1990
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary
Plat for the Coventry Pass Third Addition consisting of 50 single family lots on 19.8 of
previously zoned R-1 acres. The site is the eastern half of the originally platted Outlot
at the Coventry Pass Addition that was final platted on October 3, 1989. The proposed
Coventry Pass Third Addition is bordered by the City of Inver Grove Heights to the east,
north of Outlot D, Coventry Pass, Coventry Pass Addition, and Dodd Road is located west
of this site, and south of Wescott Road approximately 388'.
United Mortgage Corporation has been working with the City of Inver Grove Heights and
intends on platting 55 acres in Inver Grove Heights. The project would be served by
Eagan sewer and water.
As proposed, the lots meet the R-1 requirements and vary in size from 12,000 square feet
(Code minimum) to 22,165 square feet. The overall net density for the project is 2.53
lots/acre. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this area as D-II (Mixed Residential,
0-6 units/acre.)
04.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: This plat involves the
replatting of a previously approved plat and grading plan.
Revisions to the previously approved plan are minimal even though
the street circulation has been revised. The preliminary street
grades for the revised layout as shown on the revised grading plan
meet the City's standards.
Storm water drainage from the revised grading plan will flow into
both Ponds JP-56, which is located within Inver Grove Heights, and
JP-54. Both ponds are identified as designated ponding areas in
the City's Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan. The outlet
for Pond JP-56 will be provided for under this project.
WATER QUALITY: As indicated above, runoff from the plat will be
directed into either Pond JP-54 or 56 which are both classified as
nutrient traps. Based on the land use and runoff characteristics
from the site, a total of 2.4 acre-feet of wet storage volume
should be provided for the 19.8 acres of this plat. Ponds JP-54
and 56 are classified as nutrient traps and wet storage volume can
be provided within these ponds. The water quality requirements for
the JP-54 drainage area portion of this development were provided
with the Coventry Pass 2nd Addition.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity, and depth
is available from the previously developed portions of this
addition. Although not included in the preliminary plat, staff
recommends that sanitary sewer be extended north along Dodd Road
to an existing manhole on the east side of Dodd approximately 40'
north of the plat. This would allow for the rerouting of sanitary
sewer from the northeast corner of the Hills of Stonebridge
Addition as previously planned under the Hills of Stonebridge
Addition project.
Water main of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is available
to serve this site from an existing lines within the previously
developed addition and from the existing 8" main in Dodd Road.
Connections to these mains are indicated on the preliminary water
main layout.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Revisions to the previously approved
platting for this land provide for an additional access to Dodd
Road and future access to land within Inver Grove Heights.
Temporary cul-de-sacs will be required on the stub streets that
will provide future access to Inver Grove Heights.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS/PERMITS: All required right-of-way and
easements of sufficient width based on depth of utilities for
streets and utilities will be dedicated as part of the plat.
Temporary easements will be required for the temporary cul-de-sacs.
The development will be responsible for ensuring that all
regulatory agency permits are obtained prior to final plat
approval.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - COVENTRY PASS THIRD
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

LOCATION: NE 1/4 OF SECTION 23 & NW 1/4 OF SECTION 24
EXISTING ZONING: PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) SINGLE FAMILY -
(R-1)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 26, 1990
DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 20, 1990
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been received requesting a Preliminary
Plat consisting of 60 Single Family lots on approximately 37.4 acres. The proposed project
is located on the unplatted property, P.I.D. #10-02300-011-02, and part of Outlot F, Bridle
Ridge 2nd Addition.
The site is located north of Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition, the Trotters Ridge neighborhood
one-quarter mile east of the Lexington Square Addition, south of Wescott Road, and west
of Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition, Outlot F.
BACKGROUND: This site was rezoned during the Bridle Ridge 2nd platting of 251 single
family lots. At that time, 166.9 acres were rezoned from AG (Agricultural) to R-1
Planned Development. The Rezoning and Preliminary Play: for Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition
were approved at the April 19, 1988 City Council meeting;. That proposal included four
phases of development. Phase construction of the project is occurring, however, the
applicant has changed the time. The Oaks of Bridgewater was originally scheduled as
Phase III and a part of Phase IV in the Bridle Ridge 2nd proposal, and is now the second
phase.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: Bald Lake (JP-20) is included in this plat as Outlot C. The
lake is approximately 10 acres and designated in the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance as a
General Development lake. Building setbacks must be a minimum of 50' from the
Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) of 855.6'. All lots meet the 75' width requirement
from the OHWM. The site is heavily-wooded north of Bald Lake to the pond located just
south of Wescott Road.
SITE PLAN: The site is served primarily by two access points from Wescott Road that
line up with Woodland Trail and South Hills Drive. Bridle Ridge Road accesses this
project on the east, connecting Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition and the Mill Run Path cul-de-
sac will provide access to four proposed lots.
The lots vary in size from 12,052 sq. ft. to 37,190 sq. ft. excluding Lot 12, Charles Hall
property of 146,760 sq. ft. The average lot size is 18,037 sq. ft. and the average lot width
at setback for the project is 111 sq. ft. The density for the project is 1.60 lots/gross acre
and 2.08 lots/net acre.
The plan indicates two phases. The first phase is located on the east side and includes
26 lots. Phase II contains 34 lots and both cul-de-sacs. The cul-de-sacs will each have
landscaped islands similar to those in the Trotters Ridge neighborhood with wood chips
and no sod. These islands will be maintained by a homeowners association. Sienna
Corporation has decided to work with one builder on this project and feels the homes
would be a step up in price from the homes under construction in Bridle Ridge 2nd
Addition. Phase II also contains Lot 12, where Mr. Charles Hall has horses kept. As a
Condition of Approval from the Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition, Mr. Hall is allowed to keep
his horses until the final phase of development. Also, as a condition, the existing home
must change its address when the fourth phase of development occurs which is Phase II
of this project, and the Hall homesite shall connect to City sewer and water when the
fourth phase of development occurs.
v 1~
GRADING/DRAINAG /EROSION CONTROL: This development incorporates
a section of land with considerable variations in topography and
elevation with a maximum differential of approximately 50'. The
topography of the land will be changed significantly in certain
areas by the proposed grading of the development. The maximum cuts
will be approximately 30' along Wescott Road and maximum fills will
be 16' within several areas of the development.
The maximum street grades are proposed to be 7% in three areas.
City standards for 2% street grades through intersections will be
met.
To minimize erosion into Ponds JP-19 and JP-20, the grading plan
shall protect and save the trees and vegetation for a 50' wide
strip around the ponds. The existing vegetation will act as a
nutrient trap as runoff drains to the ponds.
The development will be responsible for installing and maintaining
erosion control measures in accordance with the City's
Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards. The developer intends
to save and protect or transplant as many trees as possible. The
spruce trees that exist along the east and west sides of proposed
Street D are proposed to be protected. Street D will follow the
alignment of the existing driveway as it goes from Wescott Road to
the existing house on proposed Lot 12 and the majority of the
spruce trees along this stretch are separated by a width of 50 to
70 feet.
Staff recommends that the developer construct retaining walls to
save trees if the grading plan requires cutting or filling around
the trees. If the street grade of Street D will require cutting
or filling along the spruce trees, then by adding some retaining
walls, more of these trees could be saved. The development will
be required to submit detailed plans and specifications covering
the construction of the proposed retaining walls.
Small portions of the storm water runoff from this site will enter
existing storm sewer systems in Wescott and Bridle Ridge Roads.
The new intersection of the easterly street, Street D, as it
connects into Wescott Road will require the construction of catch
basins on the new street. The new catch basins will drain
approximately 1.4 acres or 2 cfs to an existing 30" storm sewer
within Wescott Road which drains to Pond JP-19. The developer will
be responsible for repairs to Wescott Road as a result of- the
connection to the 30" storm sewer.
The preliminary grading plan dated June 19, 1990 shows only
backyards from this site draining to Bald Lake. The backyard area
draining to Bald Lake is approximately 4.3 acres. The area of Bald
Lake or Pond JP-20 included in this plat is approximately 3.2
acres.
Approximately 25.4 acres from this site is proposed to drain to a
new pond that will be developed at the south end of the plat. The
developer is proposing to provide this pond to divert storm water
runoff away from Bald Lake and the pond will be designed to meet
the City's requirements for water quality. City staff also
analyzed the drainage to Bald Lake before development occurred
around Bald Lake and the drainage that currently drains to Bald
Lake. Even with the diversion of the majority of runoff from this
site from Bald Lake, the current drainage area to Bald Lake is
greater than the drainage area prior to development. Therefore,
the water level of Bald Lake should remain adequate with the normal
rainfall.
The Parks and Recreation Department has also reviewed the
preliminary grading plan and ponding layout. Their concerns are
addressed in the attached memo from Stephen Sullivan to Jim Sturm
dated June 20, 1990.
WATER QUALITY: The storm water system for this development was
designed to minimize the impact that this development would have
on the water quality of Bald Lake or Pond JP-20, which has been
classified as a Class II indirect contact water body under the
Water Quality Management Plan. By diverting 25.4 acres from this
site to a new pond which will be downstream from the outlet for
Bald Lake, then the majority of the nutrients that would run-off
from this site will not impact Bald Lake.
The new pond, which has been labeled as Pond JP-21A on the grading
plan, will be required to provide 1.4 acre feet of pond storage
volume and 2.6 acre feet of wet storage volume. This pond will be
required to have a storm sewer line as the outlet that will
discharge the outlet flow with a maximum rate of 11.5 cfs to Pond
JP-21.
The 3.2 acres of Bald Lake located in this plat plus the 4.3 acres
of backyard area that will drain overland to Bald Lake are not
responsible for a cash contribution to the Water Quality Fund since
these area runoff characteristics will not change. The 4.5 acres
of the site along Wescott Road and Bridle Ridge Road that cannot
be ponded to treat the runoff will be subject to a cash
contribution equivalent to 0.5 acre feet for water quality
purposes.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity, and depth
is available at two locations. The easterly portion of the
development will receive sewer service from a stub in Bridle Ridge
Road. This can serve all of the lots within the first phase of the
development. Sanitary sewer for the remainder of the development
will be extended from the southeast corner of the site where there
is an existing manhole northwest of Canter Glen Circle.
As presently proposed, the extension of sanitary sewer from the
southeast corner of the development will result in sanitary sewer
manholes being outside of street right-of-way. For this reason,
staff recommends that a bituminous trailway that is suitable for
City maintenance vehicles be constructed to the sanitary sewer
manholes.
Staff recommends that a sanitary sewer line be extended to the west
edge of the plat to serve potential development of land between
Pond JP-19 and Bald Lake and the west side of Bald Lake. This area
could receive service from the west but the depth of a sanitary
sewer line would be approximately 10' higher than a sewer line
extended from this development and may not: adequately serve the
area between the ponds.
Water main of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is available
to serve this site from an existing 6" stub off of the 12" main in
Wescott Road and an existing 6" main in Bridle Ridge Road.
Connections to these mains are indicated on the preliminary water
main layout and the layout is providing a looping system through
the development.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Street access to the development is
proposed at two locations off of Wescott Road. The accesses would
be opposite Woodland Trail and South Hills Drive. The entrance
opposite Woodland Trail will be of the same width and design as
Woodland Trail which has a center island. In addition, a street
connection to Bridle Ridge Road on the east side of the development
will be provided to improve access and circulation to the Bridle
Ridge 1st Addition. The preliminary street layout plan shows that
all cul de sacs will have islands with low maintenance vegetation.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS/PERMITS: All required right-of-way and
easements of sufficient width based on depth of utilities for
streets and utilities will be dedicated as part of the plat. An
easement will be dedicated for that portion of Pond JP-19 within
the development and Outlot C, Bald Lake, will be deeded to the
City.
The development will be responsible for ensuring that all
regulatory agency permits (MPCA, Minn. Dept. of Health, MWCC, DNR,
Corps of Engineers, etc.) are obtained prior to final plat
approval.
MEMO TO: JIM STURM, CITY PLANNER
FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER
DATE: JUNE 20, 1990
SUBJECT: THE OAKS OF BRIDGEWATER
The Parks and Recreation Department has reviewed the preliminary
grading and erosion control plan dated June 19, 1990. This review
has resulted in several items of concern:
1. The conveyance and storage of water from a proposed
development onto adjacent parkland for water quality
purposes.
2. The proposed pond location bisects a future trail
corridor.
3. The proposed pond high water elevation and layout results
in trail placements on steeper slopes.
Item 1
The Parks and Recreation Department review concludes that providing
the required wet volume and conveying storm water away from Bald
Lake protects this parkland waterbody. Conveyance and ponding of
storm water from an adjacent development to a park would not be
acceptable with the developer typically being responsible for
meeting water quality requirements within their own developments
boundaries. In this case, the proximity of Bald Lake, the
available alternatives and the Parks Department's interests in
water quality in Bald Lake warrant a conditional approval for
ponding on parkland.
Item 2
The pond location bisects a future trail link from Outlot A, Bridle
Ridge 1st Addition through Outlot E, Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition to
Braddock Trail. Staff recommends that the developer revise the
pond layout having the southern shoreline no closer than 150' from
the existing 18" flared end section. This pond layout would allow
efficient and effective horizontal alignment for the future trail
corridor.
`A`n 1
U`v`
Page Two
Item #3
The proposed pond layout and high water elevation inundate the
flatter areas which were intended to be utilized for the future
trail corridor. The proposed high water elevation places the trail
above the 842 and at slopes 10% and greater. Staff recommends that
the developer grade a 10' wide trail pad from the west end of
Outlot A, Bridle Ridge 1st Addition around the east and south side
of the pond. This grading plan should be reviewed and accepted by
the Parks and Recreation Department.
