12/03/1992 - Advisory Parks & Recreation CommissionMEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: DECEMBER 1, 1992
RE: ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 3, 1992
The last regular meeting of 1992 for the Advisory Commission, scheduled on December 3,
will begin at 7:00 p.m. Staff had hoped to have had the opportunity to have a pre-
commission meeting to discuss park naming. However, we were unable to connect
successfully with Mr. Carroll to establish a date for that so this item will again have to be
continued.
There are two items on the Consent Agenda. A single motion to approve the Consent
Agenda, unless there are questions or concerns by the members of the Advisory
Commission, would be appropriate.
There are no items under Development Proposals. If the Commission would like, staff can
briefly cover the proposals that appear to be coming to the Advisory Commission in the very
near future which have recently been submitted to the City.
New Business
There are three items under New Business. The first item is the Minnesota Valley Trail
Resolution. Staff has prepared a brief memorandum and a support resolution for the
Advisory Commission's review. Staff will also be attending a meeting on December 4
concerning the interlink between the cities of Minneapolis and Eagan via the Mendota
Bridge. Staff will be providing additional comments concerning this item.
The second item under New Business is softball eligibility changes. Members may recall
that last year's policy change was implemented providing for a $25.00 non-resident fee. In
working with the softball committee, changes are being recommended by that committee to
the City. Staff would like to review those changes with you.
The last item under New Business is St. Thomas Beckett Church trails dedication review.
Again, staff has prepared a brief memorandum concerning this particular item in which the
church requests the extension of credit against their trails dedication requirements because
of trails constructed internally to their development.
Under Parks Development, staff will update the Advisory Commission on the progress of
Blackhawk Park, which because of the poor weather, has been quite minimal. Staff will also
update the Advisory Commission on a number of other projects that are pending the
planning the parks.
Water Ouality
There are several items under Water Quality for the Commission's review. Water
Resources Coordinator, Rich Brasch, has prepared memorandums concerning these
particular items and will be available to explain these to the Advisory Commission.
her Business and R
Following Department Happenings, staff would like to apprise the Commission of the
Community Oriented Policing Program that the Department is now involved with. Staff has
prepared a memorandum for you on this particular item and would like the Advisory
Commission to pay particular attention to it because of the potential future involvement of
the Recreation and Parks division in this particular policing effort.
As always, if members are unable to make the regular Commission meeting, it. would be
appreciated if you would contact the Department and notify us of your absence.
Respectfully submitted,
Ken Vraa,
Director of Parks and Recreation

MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF
ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
EAGAN, MINNESOTA
NOVEMBER 5, 1992
A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission was called
to order at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 5, 1992 with the following Commission Members present: Ted
Billy, Jonathan Widem, Kevin Knight, Dan Mooradian, Erin Ipsen, and Jack Johnson. Commission Members
Deborah Johnson and Lee Markel) were not present. Staff present included Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and
Recreation, Stephen Sullivan, Landscape Architect/Park Planner; Dorothy Peterson, Superintendent of
Recreation; John VonDeLinde, Parks Superintendent; Rich Brasch, Water Resources Coordinator and Cherryl
Mesko, Secretary.
AGENDA
Under Other Business and Reports, Director Vraa added (3) Joint Commission/Council Meeting and
(4) Request and Proposal from Dakota, Inc. Dan Mooradian moved, Kevin Knight seconded with all members
voting in favor to accept the agenda as amended.
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 1, 1992
Kevin Knight moved, Erin Ipsen seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the minutes of
October 1, 1992 as presented.
CONSENT AGENDA
After review of the park and trail dedication issues by Park Planner Stephen Sullivan and review of the
water quality issues by Water Resources Coordinator Rich Brasch, Erin Ipsen moved, Jonathan Widem seconded
the motion to make the following recommendations to the City Council. All members voted in favor.
Preliminary Plat - Toby Stevens. This plat was reviewed by the Commission at their October
1,1992 meeting with subsequent recommendations having been made to the City Council.
Town Ctr 70 13th Add. - McDonald's Corporation. This proposal be subject to a cash parks
dedication and a cash trails dedication. This proposal be subject to a cash dedication to meet
water quality standards. The cash dedication will apply only to Lot 1,Block 1. Water quality
requirements for Outlot A will be defined at a future date.
WENZEL ADDITION - WENSMANN REALTY
Director Vraa reminded the Commission that Mr. Wensmann was present at the October commission
meeting and was directed to provide a grading plan to staff reflecting the changes proposed in the plat. Ken
continued that the grading plan has not been received to date, however, the plan has been approved by the
Advisory Planning Commission. It was noted that the City Council is reviewing this item at their meeting this
evening and that the recommendation for approval will be contingent upon the Advisory Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources Commission recommendations after reviewing the issue at their December meeting.
Ted Billy moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to carry this item over
to the December 3, 1992 meeting.

POND JP-69 - DIFFLEY/DANIEL PARCEL
Director Vraa reviewed this agenda item with the Commission noting that there were two separate
issues that would need to be addressed. The first issue dealt with the Commission's approval, rejection or
modification to the development of a storm water retention pond identified as JP-69 located within the 5.6 acre
parcel. The pond consumes only a portion of the subject parcel thus the second issue for the Commission's
consideration is to make a recommendation regarding the intended use of the remaining portion of the
property.
Ken reminded the Commission that they had reviewed the grading plan for the proposed retention pond
at their October meeting. Since the October meeting staff has re-reviewed the grading for the pond area and
has seen no need for substantial changes to the design. The current plan preserves a significant amount of trees
on the east side adjacent to the residential properties, is approximately 1.5 acres with a normal water elevation
of 946. The high water elevation will be at a 952 with the pond bottom at an elevation of 943 which leaves
3 feet of water in the pond. Ken noted that this wet volume promotes water quality and provides for an
aesthetic pond. The pond also meets the storm water volumetric needs and promotes effective water quality
while preserving the greatest number of significant trees on the site. The design also provides for development
of the remaining residual property either as single family lots and/or as park.
After further discussion, Kevin Knight moved, Jonathan Widem seconded the motion with all members
voting in favor to accept the grading plan for pond JP-69 as presented.
Director Vraa identified the second issue for the Commission to consider is the determination of what
to do with the residual portion of this property. It was noted that the preferred use suggested by the residents
is for preservation of the trees on this property and that it be used for a developed park. Ken explained that
staff has reviewed this request and it is clear that the site could accommodate a hard court and play equipment
area without significant disruption to the resource. It could also accommodate a relatively small, five to seven
stall parking lot if necessary.
As background Mr. Vraa explained that the residual land borders Daniel Drive and utilities were
stubbed in when Daniel Drive was upgraded to allow for the eventual sale of these lots. Ken continued that
staff met with the neighboring residents on Monday, November 2 to solicit their input. The residents expressed
their concern for safety in this area as well as their desire to have an accessible play space. Based on that
input, athletic development on the site has been ruled out resulting in staff researching a playground and hard
court area. The total estimate including play equipment, hard court, parking lot, grading and site restoration
could range from $42-48,000. Further discussion with the residents indicated the potential for a trailway off
Diff ley that would, perhaps, loop through the wooded area on the north and then come back to Diffley.
Landscape Architect/Park Planner Sullivan noted that the subject parcel is located within the north
central edge of Park Service Area 26 which include all the residential property west of Dodd Road, south of
County Road 30, north of County Road 32, and east of County Road 43. The PSA limits were expanded with
the rezoning from CSC to Single Family as a result of the Lexington Pointe Additions. The parks serving this
PSA are Walnut Hill Park and Trapp Farm Park with the entire park service population, including the subject
parcel and neighborhood, located within 3/4 mile of these two parks. It is anticipated that the buildout
population would be approximately 4,700 (the Park Systems Plan's standards for service by a neighborhood
park is 2-5,000 residents).

Steve continued that maintenance of the residual property allows for open spa ce for a smal l playground
area that would more accessibly serve the approximately 50 children in the immediate area.. Steve reiterated
that the playground at Walnut Hill is approximately 3/4 mile from this area and Trapp Farm Park is
approximately 1/2 mile away. Northview Elementary School is immediately north of this parcel, however
County Road 30 makes access difficult to this playground. It was noted that in discussions with the Engineering
Department regarding the upgrading of County Road 30, the installation of a semaphore on Braddock and
Co. Rd. 30 to provide a safe access to Northview Elementary School may be considered. This could be further
enhanced by a crosswalk with pedestrian activated lights in the future.
Another alternative outlined for Commission consideration was the sale of the residual land for eight
single family lots. Staff anticipates that the five southerly lots would sell for no less than $30,000 and the three
remaining lots would be less given their location and proximity to the Diffley and Daniel Drive intersection.
Yet another alternative presented for consideration was to have the City keep the property at its current
R-1 zoning and defer a decision based on future information and need. It was noted that the down side of this
option may be the interpretation that the property is zoned for "parks' and not R-1 resulting in confusion if the
property is developed at a later date.
Mr. Vraa reiterated the options available to the Commission; 1) Recommend the sale of residual
property for lot development, 2) Apportion the residual portion for residential lot development reserving the
remainder for parks use, 3) Retain all the residual property for parks use or 4) Retain the property, do not
change zoning classification from R-1 thus reserving the opportunity to review the parcel and parkland needs
at a later date.
Chairman Jack Johnson invited anyone in the audience to share their comments and concerns. Larry
Foster asked if the numbers used in calculating the use in this PSA were current numbers or those anticipated
at build out. Mr. Vraa responded that the numbers were based on future build out.
Pat Connolly, 921 Curry Trail (Lot 1, Block 1) noted that his children were older and perhaps would
not be using a playground nearby but shared his concern for the large number of children that live in this area.
He continued that there is no safe access to the parks that are currently within this PSA where parents could
feel comfortable letting them go to these parks alone. He noted that the concerns of the neighbors should be
a high priority as the Commission reviews this issue. Mr. Connolly then pointed out several areas where small
parks were provided for neighborhoods that did not have as many people in them as this neighborhood.
Lakeside Park and Oak Chase Park were targeted as such parks. Mr. Connolly continued that although there
were parks near this neighborhood, the accessibility was poor; he indicated there was no trail to get to Walnut
Hill Park nor was there easy access to Trapp Farm Park. The safety of the children in this area was of utmost
importance to Mr. Connolly. Pat commented that a bike path along he Highline Trail was to go in three years
ago and still was not completed.
Jack Johnson asked why the original trail planned along Daniel Drive was eliminated. As DirectorVraa
began explaining the background of this issue, Pat Connolly interjected that he would clarify the history for the
Commission. Mr.Connol ly stated that the trail along Daniel Drive was going to move to the south side because
that land was zoned other than residential and it was felt this would be a better location for the trail. When
the property was re-zoned to residential it was felt that it would be unsafe for a trail to cross several driveways,
Mr. Connolly continued. There was a bike path planned to Trapp Farm Park, however, in Mr. Connolly's
opinion, it was not a good location because the trail seemed to just terminate on the hill near Trapp Farm Park.
He also stated that the incline was such that it would be very difficult for pedestrians to use a stroller on this
section of trail.

Steve Sullivan clarified that the intent of having a trail along Daniel Drive was because of it's natural
north/south route making the distance from Curry Trail to Trapp Farm Parka distance of .4 miles. Steve added
that staff's intention is to provide the most efficient transportation for neighborhoods to parks with a strong
concern for safety. It was felt that the trail along Daniel Drive was the safest option at the time.
Homeowner of 913 Curry Trail noted that this will be a very heavily developed area. He continued
that he understands the financial impact to the city in holding these lots but expressed his preference for leaving
the area just as it is. He felt that developing more homes in this location seemed like overkill. He suggested
that the city consider leaving the property as it is and allow the residents to maintain it; something similar to
'adopting' the park. Mr. Vraa responded that this has been done in the past and may be a consideration.
Marsha Schoemaker who lives at the intersection of Braddock and Daniel Drive indicated that she has
three children and provides day care service to other children. She continued that she does not feel
comfortable sending children to either Walnut Hill Park or Trapp Farm Park without going along. She would
prefer a park closer to the neighborhood to allow children to go to the park without their parents.
Jack Johnson asked if there had been any consideration given to providing an overpass to Northview
School during the upgrading of County Road 30. Ken Vraa responded that that had not been a consideration;
rather, thought was being given to the semaphore on Braddock and Diffley. Ms. Schoemaker indicated that
even if there was an easier access to Northview School she didn't think that using the playground during the
school day was allowed and she would still not be comfortable allowing children to cross Diffley at that point.
Pat Connolly reiterated that this is the only area of this size that doesn't have direct access to a park and the
City needs to look at what's best for this neighborhood.. Jack Johnson explained that there will be access to
parks once the trail links are completed in this area.
Ryan Neese, 4224 Daniel Drive indicated that he has been in the neighborhood for only two months.
He continued that one of the factors in purchasing their home was the wooded area directly across from them
and they would like to see that maintained as it is. He also asked if it was feasible to place a trail completely
around the pond. Mr. Vraa responded that a trail of this type could be done, however there would be
substantial tree loss in order to accommodate that request.
Since expenditure of dollars seemed to be an issue, Mr. Connolly asked what the cost was for the
development of Oak Chase Park and Lakeside Park. Mr. Vraa responded that in order to give a more current
cost figure perhaps the park near Manor Lake would be a more accurate comparison at this time. Ken
continued that the Manor Lake park site is approximately five acres in size and consists of open space that has
been graded with 3/4 acre of wetland. The park was graded as part of an agreement with the developer as a
cost savings measure. Ken added that the cost of the land, parking lot, playground, ballfield and hard court
was approximately $130,000. Mr. Connolly again reiterated that their neighborhood area will be larger at build
out than the Manor Lake area and felt that $42-48,000 would not be an outrageous price to pay for park
improvements. Mr. Vraa clarified that the $42-48,000 amount reflected only the costs for improvement to the
land but did not include the cost of the land and the assessments that had to be paid. When asked what that
figure was, Mr. Vraa responded that it was $19,000/acre or approximately $138-140,000 plus the assessments
on the property.
In response to comments from Mr. Connolly, Jack Johnson explained that the Commission's job is to
try to determine what the best use for this residual property will be and make a recommendation to the City
Council. Mr. Johnson added that the existing Park System Plan does not call for a park in this area. An issue
that will need to be weighed is setting a precedent by providing a park in response to a request from a
neighborhood where one was normally not planned. Jack continued that the Commission's task is to provide
for parks throughout the City in a very planned manner to meet the needs of the whole community as well as
the neighborhoods.

Tish Wetstone, 917 Curry Trail, noting that she was new in the area, asked what happened to the
dollars that were collected by the developer that were originally dedicated for trails. Steve Sullivan responded
that any dollars collected for trails dedication fees are placed in the trails dedication fund and are used to
enhance the trail system throughout the City. Ms. Wetstone expressed her concern for the safety of pedestrians
and bikers along Daniel Drive because it is a very busy street. She suggested that consideration be given to
placing a white line on the street. Director Vraa stated he would check with the City Engineer and suggested
that the residents follow up with Tom Colbert, Director of Public Works to see if this option would be feasible.
Mr. Joe Heubner, noting there was significant interest by the neighborhood to have this park, suggested
that they be allowed to help with the maintenance or upkeep if a park is developed.
Dan Mooradian asked what impact not selling these lots would have on the development of already
existing parks and those that are planned to be built in the next several years. Mr. Vraa responded that this
particular parcel of land was purchased from the Park Site Fund which can only be used for park acquisition
or development. Since approximately $150,000 was taken from this fund to purchase these lots, there is that
much less in the fund for development of parks. The question that needs to be addressed, Mr. Vraa continued,
is the importance of this issue in relationship to the C.I.P. and if it is determined that this is a park to be
developed, than direction will need to be given as to the time frame and the dollars that will be expended.
Ted Billy clarified that the City was required to purchase this tract of land , along with other small
tracts,as a condition for purchasing the Lexington/Diffley site. Jonathan Widem asked what the intention was
for this land at the time it was purchased. Mr. Vraa responded that the Council directed the re-sale of this land
and wanted it downzoned from R-4 to R-1, which did occur. Mr. Mooradian asked how often the City has
purchased property that it did not intend to use and Mr. Vraa responded this is the first time he has seen this
occur since he has been with the City of Eagan.
Kevin Knight reiterated that this is a very unique situation since the development of a park in this area
is not currently in the Park System Plan. Kevin continued that since there are a significant number of trees on
these lots he would like to see as many trees kept as possible. There is a fair amount of parkland within this
PSA, however, Mr. Knight agreed that perhaps a modest playground or play area would be appropriate. His
suggestion was that the two closest lots to Curry be used for play area and/or hard court and that the balance
of the lots along Daniel Drive be sold. Mr. Johnson asked if a park could be placed on two lots. Mr. Sullivan
responded that it would be tight but it may be possible. Kevin Knight reiterated that he would prefer to see
the trees on the eastern most lot be kept.
Pat Connolly interjected that three lots would provide a better buffer to the existing neighbors on Curry
Trail. Jack Johnson asked Mr.Sullivan if he would be able to estimate how many trees would need to be
removed to accommodate a playground on two lots. Steve responded that he would need to look at some
options but trees would need to be removed.
Dan Mooradian indicated his biggest concern is the eastern most lot on Daniel Drive that butts up to
Lots 1 and 2 since it appears to be the most valuable lot. It is the lot that will bring the most revenue because
it is wooded but selling it would eliminate any buffer from the immediately adjacent lots along Curry Trail.
Mr. Connolly again interjected that ideally, the neighbors would like to have that lot left as it is.
Erin Ipsen expressed her concern for the precedent this decision can set. She continued that the
Commission's responsibility is to look at the City as a whole and if this request is approved there will be many
more neighborhoods with similar circumstances that will be requesting a park closer to their home. Jack
Johnson added that this long-range issue may be best discussed as the Parks System Plan is being upgraded. Its
possible, Mr. Johnson continued, that one of the things that could be discovered in the process is the need for
mini parks just as is being discussed at this site. Erin suggested that if the Commission was going to pursue a
park at this site that two lots be set aside, that the Parks System Plan be updated and if it is determined that
a park should not go into this location, then the lots can be sold. Dan Mooradian added that if lots were set
aside, he would not be in favor of developing them at this time. Another point brought up by Ms. Ipsen was
which park will wait for development to occur in order to accommodate this new addition to parks.
Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Minutes of November 5,1992 Meeting
Page 6
After further discussion, Jonathan Widem moved that the top five lots, from Diffley to Curry Trail, be
sold for development and that the three lots on Daniel Drive closest to Curry Trail be held for eventual
development of a mini-park.
Ted Billy stated that the lots could be sold as suggested but questioned if the City would be any richer.
He suggested leaving the parcel as it is and if at some point in the future it becomes necessary to sell them,
a decision can be made at that time. Again Ted reiterated wanting to leave the land as it is in its natural
condition.
Kevin Knight stated he agreed with Mr. Widem's motion and agreed that most all objectives can be
met by keeping 2-3 lots. He continued that there should be some flexibility in determining whether 2 or 3 lots
are needed to provide the playground area discussed. Director Vraa suggested that the Commission may want
to look at some possible layouts to see if other lots may be more appropriate for a park. Jonathan Widem
suggested maintaining the eastern most lot for tree preservation and consider open space and play area being
installed on the two lots west. Steve Sullivan reminded the Commission that there are a number of parameters
to look at when designing a park; one being that a small playground/open play area may result in the
neighborhood using the park for a very limited amount of time and then will find the need for more facilities
that are already within their PSA. Steve suggested that the Commission may want to look long term at
providing better access to the parks to the south .
After further discussion, there was no second to Mr. Widem's motion. Kevin Knight then moved and
Jonathan Widem seconded the motion to have staff develop a plan for a park to include playground and hard
court surface to be located within the lots owned by the City of Eagan from Diffley Road to Curry Trail and
that the balance of the lots be sold for development. The number of lots and location of lots has not been
determined as yet and will be dependent upon the park design. Those voting in favor included Erin Ipsen, Jack
Johnson, Jonathan Widem, Dan Mooradian and Kevin Knight. Ted Billy was opposed. The motion was
carried.
Ryan Neese added that he was in favor of leaving the area in a natural state. He would not be
opposed, however to selling the three western most lots for development and leaving the balance for park.
Director Vraa added that the residents had also requested consideration be given to providing a trail
corridor on the north side of the pond, parallel to Diffley Road. Ken indicated that two options had been
discussed; one was a loop.trail that would bring traffic into the wooded area north of the pond and then back
to the trail on Diffley and the other option was a spur trail that would allow walkers to enter the wooded area,
overlook the pond and then walk back to Diffley Road. In response to a question from Kevin Knight regarding
the cost for such a trail, Mr. Vraa responded that a loop trail of 250-300 feet would be approximately $2,500-
3,000.
After further discussion, Jonathan Widem moved, Ted Billy seconded the motion with all members
voting in favor to recommend the construction of a spur trail that will leave Diffley Road north of the pond and
terminate just north of the pond.
PARK SERVICE AREA 36E
Director Vraa introduced this item reminding the Commission they had made a recommendation to
the City Council in February of 1992 that the City seek parkland in the south 1/2 of Park Service Area 36E.
The City Council subsequently approved that recommendation and instructed staff to begin the search fora park
in that area. Ken identified two parcels as potential park sites; one owned by Mr. Jay Carroll and one owned
by Mr. Neary. Mr. Carroll's property is 6 acres in size whereas Mr. Neary's property is 19 acres including his
home. Mr. Vraa continued that there is no immediate need to acquire a park given the relatively undeveloped
characteristics and lack of service population at this time although this would not preclude the Commission
from being proactive in reviewing the need and location of a park for the future.

Minutes of November 5, 1992 Meeting

In reviewing Mr. Carroll's 6 acre parcel Mr.Vraa noted that access is via a private road not a public
street which should be considered when thinking about its development as a public park. Another concern
expressed was the potential for acquiring land that may be landlocked which is the case with the Neary
property.
Mr. Vraa reviewed some of the options for the Commission to consider which included acquiring Mr.
Carroll's land; obtaining the back (south) portion of Mr. Neary's land; wait for development to occur and
acquire land by dedication; look for the most appropriate parcel of land and acquire through condemnation
if necessary; conclude that parkland is not an absolute necessity and not propose park acquisition at this time
or whatever other option the Commission may determine is appropriate.
Jack Johnson asked if the area south of the parcels being considered will be developed. Mr. Vraa
responded that the assumption has been made that development will occur at some point in time but the
timeframe is unknown. Ted Billy remembered there had been some conversation with Inver Grove Heights
regarding the option of developing a shared park in this general area. Mr. Vraa responded that Inver Grove
Heights is not interested in pursuing that option. Mr. Johnson stated that if there is a need for a park in this
area he would favor waiting for development to occur and acquire parkland in the southern portion of the PSA
through dedication .
After further discussion Ted Billy moved, Dan Mooradian seconded with all members voting in favor
to have staff identify suitable parcels of property that would be appropriate for a park so that when development
occurs within PSA 36E necessary steps can be taken to acquire the property necessary to meet this need.
PARK NAMING
Park Naming was deferred to the December, 1992 meeting.
PARKS/TRAILS DEDICATION REVIEW
Director Vraa introduced this item as the Commission's annual reviewof the parks dedication and trails
dedication after which the Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council. Mr. Vraa reviewed the
history of dedication fees from 1989 through 1992 noting that the fees for 1992 remained consistent with 1991.
As a point of clarification, Mr. Vraa noted that individual cash dedication fees are based on 'land value
equivalence', i.e. the land value determined by the Commission each year for each different category of land
use. Also provided for background was a survey completed in 1991 of several metropolitan communities
relative to their perception in regard to area-wide land values and adjustments they may be planning between
1992-93. Ken continued that since there does not appear to be a wide-spread escalation of land values in the
metro area that land values should be determined by an appraiser for next year's review of parks/trails
dedication.
Kevin Knight asked what the cost would be to hire an appraiser and wondered if the work could be
done this year to help with the Commission's recommendation to the Council. Mr. Vraa responded that the
cost will depend upon how much detail is required and felt that there wasn't sufficient time to have appraisals
done before a recommendation is needed by the Council. Jack Johnson and Ted Billy both expressed their
concern for making a land value decision without sufficient background.
Ted Billy moved and Erin Ipsen seconded the motion to freeze rates for 1993 and hire an
appraiser/consultant to review and analyze land values for review of the 1994 parks/trails dedication fees.
Those voting for the motion were Erin Ipsen, Jack Johnson and Ted Billy. Those opposed were Jonathan
Widem, Dan Mooradian and Kevin Knight. The motion did not pass.
Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Minutes of November 5,1992 Meeting

Kevin Knight noted that parks/trails dedication is the department's major source of funds and he was
not comfortable waiting until next year for appraisals and losing potential 1993 revenue. Kevin felt that the
opportunity to capitalize on dedication fees will soon be gone as the City's development slows down. Jonathan
Widem asked if an increase could be imposed in 1994 to make up for a freeze in 1993 rates since the rates
are tied to land values. Mr. Vraa reminded the Commission that any increase would need to be substantiated
as a "reasonable increase". This would eliminate the possibility of increasing 1994 rates to compensate for no
rate increase in 1993. Mr. Widem suggested averaging the numbers over the last four years to calculate an
average increase in land values as a basis for the 1993 rates. Jack Johnson expressed his concern for being able
to justify such a calculated increase. Mr. Widem reiterated his agreement with Mr. Knight in not wanting to
miss out on an opportunity to collect potential revenue.
Jack Johnson indicated his discomfort with coming up with a land value amount that may be difficult
to substantiate. He indicated his desire to maintain information that is as accurate as possible in setting fees.
Ken Vraa added that the Commission can also use current assessed values which should be 95% of their market
value if they indeed wanted to make a recommendation for increase. Mr. VonDeLinde reminded the
Commission that the land value amounts will impact water quality fees also which may result in further scrutiny
from developers.
After further discussion Jonathan Widem moved, Kevin Knight seconded with all members voting in
favor to direct staff to get current assessments of land values on several parcels of land to help with the
determination of 1993 fees and that a appraiser be hired to do an appraisal of land for the determination of
1994 parks/trails dedication fees.
PROPOSED 1993 FEES AND CHARGES
Director Vraa briefly reviewed the memo prepared by him and Superintendent of Recreation Peterson
regarding fees and charges for facility use. Staff felt that the fees charged in 1992 should be carried over into
1993 with no proposed increases, however suggestions were made to consider new fees for youth travel soccer
and youth travel hockey similar to those imposed on youth travel baseball. Another issue for the Commission
to consider was the running of concessions by the City for adult outside tournaments held at Northview Athletic
along with charging a minimum of $100/day for use of the concession room by youth baseball and softball
tournaments held at that site.
After further discussion, Ted Billy moved and Dan Mooradian seconded with all members voting in
favor to recommend the 1993 facility use fees remain the same as in 1992. Further that travel soccer be
assessed a fee of $60.00 per team similar to the fees currently assessed to travel softball and baseball. Travel
hockey will be assessed a fee of $60.00 per team effective with their 1993-94 season. The City will run the
concessions for adult outside tournaments held at Northview Athletic and will also charge youth sports
tournaments run at Northview Athletic a minimum of $100.00/day for use of the concession room.
CIP
Director Vraa introduced this item noting that staff had prepared a draft CIP document for submission
to the Commission and then to the City Council which covers the time frame of 1993-1997. Ken continued
that since this is a draft document, it becomes more of a planning document than a budgetary document. If
funds are not available for the items contained within the CIP, those items will be pushed back further into
future years, get eliminated or a method of increased revenue will need to be found to complete the work.
Mr. Vraa also mentioned that the CIP does not include maintenance, major capital improvements or
building/structure replacement.
Jonathan Widem commented that the City will need to be looking a large dollar expenditures for long
term maintenance and replacement of the parks that are currently developed. Jonathan continued that it is
difficult to thoroughly review the CIP without benefit of an updated Parks System Plan noting that that may
become a very valuable tool in looking at this issue next year.

favor to accept the CIP as presented.
ISTEA GRANT APPLICATION/POLICY ON TRAILWAYS
Superintendent of Parks VonDeLinde explained that this ISTEA grant funding for municipal trails
expansion has been presented to the City Council on September 20; before there was an opportunity to review
it with the Commission since the submittal deadline for the grant application was November 2. John continued
that this is an application for federal grant funding for the expansion of certain trailways within the City of
Eagan. The city will be seeking funds under the Federal Intermodal Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) for
the construction of four new trails in the community. The total cost of the project is estimated at $478,700
of which 80% would be cost shared through the ISTEA grant. John added that since the City Council has
already given their approval for submission of the application and authorized the corresponding changes to the
trail system plan, it would be appropriate for the Commission to retroactively ratify the recommendations
contained along with identifying priorities for the trail links.
After further discussion, Ted Billy moved to approve an application to the Metropolitan Council for
Federal cost sharing of trail expansion under the ISTEA Program and that approval be given to modify the
existing Trail Systems Plan to include the development of trails along State Highway 149 and Town Centre
Drive as identified.
The Commission clarified that of the trails proposed, the first priority was to provide access to the
Minnesota River Valley; the second priority was identified as trails along Hwy. 149 connecting to the proposed
YMCA site; the third priority was access to the Town Centre area and the fourth priority- was the trails
connection between Walnut Hill and Trapp Farm Parks.
PARK SYSTEM PLAN STUDY
Director Vraa, noting that the Commission had recently held a workshop session relative to the Park
Systems Plan, explained that it would be appropriate that they determine if a recommendation should be made
to the City Council to update a new Park Systems Plan which would update necessary components of the
existing plan.
After further discussion, Ted Billy moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor
to recommend to the City Council that a major revision to the existing Park Systems Plan be undertaken and
that the financing for this plan come from the park site development fund. Further, the Commission, in seeking
approval to develop a systems plan, recognized the need for the Commission to develop a scope of services
for the consultant before Requests for Proposals are solicited.
BLACKHAWK PARK UPDATE/BLACKHAWK PARK DESIGN MODIFICATION
Stephen Sullivan noted that the recent snowfall has slowed up the completion of Blackhawk Park. He
did note that the rough grading has been done, some of the topsoil is in, the parking lot has rock on it, the trail
corridors have been graded and the boardwalk is in place. Steve was hopeful that with a thaw the curb could
be installed yet this year.
Mr. Sullivan continued with the proposed construction modifications to enhance the management of
Blackhawk Lake. It was noted that slight grading modifications on either side of the south boardwalk abutment
would provide accesses to both the east and west basins of the lake for weed harvesters and other aquatic
management equipment. These accesses would provide more options to implement in-lake management
measures and would limit the disturbance needed to create these features in one area immediately around the
boardwalk. It is estimated that the cost will not exceed $4,000 and will be covered by ear-marked water
quality improvement funds.

After further discussion, Jack Johnson moved, Dan Mooradian seconded with all members voting in
favor to accept the proposed construction modifications which include slight grading modifications on either
side of the south boardwalk abutment to provide accesses to both the east and west basins of Blackhawk Lake
for weed harvesters and other aquatic management equipment. The estimated cost of the work is not expected
to exceed $4,000 and would be covered by water quality improvement funds.
MINNESOTA RELIEF GRANT PROJECT/LEXINGTON SQUARE
Superintendent of Parks VonDeLinde introduced a grant which would provide for the development of
a Forestry Department pilot program to use excelerated growth technology in a controlled area to enhance tree
conservation. It was determined that the Lexington Square neighborhood (near Lexington and Wescott) which
has 370 households would provide a good study area for this project. Two seedlings would be planted in each
of the 370 yards and would be covered by a white tube which is used to excelerate growth of the trees. The
tube is biodegradable and will disappear as the tree continues to grow and mature. The excelerated growth
process occurs until the seedling reaches the top of the tube after which normal growth continues.
Director Vraa added that several various options were considered for distribution of this planting
program, however it was felt that the Lexington Square development was the most conducive to this type of
project and could be monitored/managed very easily.
Jack Johnson expressed the Commission's approval of the project and looks forward to hearing updates
on how this project is progressing.
DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS
Items highlighted by Superintendent of Recreation Peterson included a program opportunity to create
relationships between Northview Elementary students and Eagan Seniors; the first Eagan Seniors meeting will
be held at the senior housing community room in November; the new cash management system through LOGIS
which will mainstream the department's handling of registration receipts and Dakota Civic Theatre's first
production which will occur on November 20. Also highlighted was the attendance of more than 700 youth
and 300 adults at the Halloween Spook Trail at Thomas Lake Park.
JOINT COMMISSION/COUNCIL MEETING
Director Vraa reminded the Commission that a joint Commission/Council meeting has been scheduled
for November 10 at 6 p.m. at the Municipal Center. The anticipated time frame is 1-1.5 hours with the items
for discussion to include Forestry Department/Oak Wilt and Parks System Plan update. When asked if there
were other issues that may need to be addressed Mr. Johnson responded that erosion control could also be
addressed. Mr. Widem suggested that the Commission should stay focused on the Parks System Plan for this
joint meeting and move onto erosion control at a later meeting with the Council.
REQUEST AND PROPOSAL FROM DAKOTA, INC.
John VonDeLinde explained that a letter had been received from Dakota, Inc. requesting their use of
Quarry Park shelter building from November 23 through December 23, 1992. The request is based on a need
to find temporary space to carry out their programming while remodeling of their Apple Valley site is occurring.
The use would be Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and they would keep the building in
good condition by doing daily light maintenance followed by a deep clean when they are finished using the
building.
After further discussion, Kevin Knight moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in
favor to allow the use of Quarry Park shelter building by Dakota, Inc. from November 23 through December
23, 1992. In return, Dakota, Inc. will maintain the building in good condition and will accomplish a deep
clean upon completion of their use. If the building is to be used for recreation programming before December
23, Dakota, Inc. will be notified immediately.

COMMISSION
FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER
DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 1992
RE: CONSENT AGENDA, DECEMBER 3, 1992
1. BRAUN SUNRISE 2ND ADDITION - HENRY A. BRAUN
A Preliminary Plat of three single family lots on approximately 2.3 acres located along the
south side of Braun Court east of Pilot Knob Road in the SW 1/4 of Section 15.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Lots 2 and 3, Block 1 Braun Sunrise 2nd Addition be subject to a cash
parkland dedication.
2. Lots 2 and 3, Block 1 Braun Sunrise 2nd Addition be subject to a cash
trailways dedication.
2. PARK CENTER 3RD ADDITION - TACO BELL CORPORATION
A Planned Development Amendment to allow a Class H restaurant in the Park Center
Planned Development, a Preliminary Plat consisting of .98 acres, and a Conditional Use
Permit for a pylon sign located along the north side of Cliff Road, west of Cliff Lake Drive
in the SE 1/4 of Section 30.
PARKS DEDICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. The proposal be subject to a cash parks dedication.
TRAILS DEDICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Park Center Planned Development Agreement had the developer responsible for trail
costs and installation. A sidewalk has been installed along Cliff Lake Road east of the
subject parcel and a bituminous trail is proposed along the south property line adjacent
to Cliff Road. This trail is to be installed within a current contract. Maintaining a
consistent approach in regards to trailway obligates the current application for the
associated trail costs along Cliff Road. Therefore, staff recommends the following:
1. The proposal be subject to the costs of the bituminous trail along Cliff Road
based on the lot frontage at the City's current trail rate. The cost shall be
254' frontage feet at $12.05 per foot obligating the applicant to a total trails
cost of $3060.70. This amount shall be paid at the time of building permit
application.

COMMISSION
FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 1992
SUBJECT: WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR BRAUN SUNRISE - 2ND
ADDITION (CONSENT AGENDA ITEM)
PROPOSAL
This preliminary plat application is for a single-family residential development consisting of three
lots on approximately 2.3 acres located along the south side of Braun Court, east of Pilot Knob
Road in the southwest 1/4 of section 15.
FOR COMMISSION REVIEW
The Commission will need to review and make a recommendation regarding whether the
development should be subject to a ponding requirement or a cash dedication requirement to meet
water quality standards as set by the City in its Water Quality Management Plan. There are no
wetlands issues associated with this preliminary plat application.
WATER DUALITY ANALYSIS
This proposed single-family residential development lies just south of the western basin of Fish
Lake in Drainage Basin J (Figure 1). One of the three lots included in the preliminary plat
application already contains an existing house and driveway on approximately 3/4 of an acre. The
other two lots are .5 and .7 acres, respectively and will contain less impervious surface and,
therefore, generate less runoff per unit area than conventional single-family lots. Nevertheless,
much of the runoff from this proposed development will drain directly to Fish Lake. The parcel
is too small to accommodate a properly designed wet detention basin. Therefore, a cash dedication
in lieu of on-site ponding is recommended to meet the water quality treatment requirements of the
entire parcel, less the area of Lot 1 which was developed for single-family residential purposes prior
to the effective date of the water quality ordinance. The cash dedication is estimated at $1,050.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the developer meet its water quality treatment requirements through the
payment of cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding. There are no wetlands subject to jurisdiction
under the Wetlands Conservation Act on the site.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL
RESOURCES COMMISSION
FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 1992
SUBJECT: 3RD ADDITION - TACO BELL CORPORATION (CONSENT
AGENDA ITEM)
PROPOSAL
This preliminary plat application is for a restaurant planned on .98 acres and located along
the north side of Cliff Road, west of Cliff Lake Drive in the southeast one quarter of section
30 (Figure 1). The development is part of the overall Park Center Plan Development.
FOR COMMISSION REVIEW
The Commission will need to review and make a recommendation regarding whether the
development should be subject to a ponding requirement or a cash dedication requirement
to meet water quality standards as set by the City in its Water Quality Management Plan.
WATER DUALITY ANALYSI
This proposed development is located in drainage basin A and will generate run-off that will
discharge to Pond AP-25, a 6-acre foot detention basin classified as a nutrient pond in the
City's Water Quality Management Plan. There are no recreational water bodies directly
downstream of AP-25.
This proposed development is part of the Park Center Plan Development which has a total
net developable area of approximately 19.2 acres. Pond AP-50 lies along the west edge of
the plan development and was graded by the owners of the Park Center Plan Development
to meet treatment requirements for the entire development, of which this parcel is a part.
Analysis using the City's water quality model indicates that a pond having a volume of 2.6
acre feet and treating run-off from at least 19 acres of combined commercial and industrial
and multi-family residential land uses would be needed to meet requirements for the Park
Center Plan Development as a whole. As-built drawings for Pond AP-50 indicate that the
net volume for the pond is approximately 2.6 acre feet and the drainage area is about 22.3
acres. That drainage area includes approximately 6k acres of the Park Center planned
development area, as well as almost 16 acres of Cliff Road and commercial/special use
property to the west and south of the pond. Because Pond AP-50 treats an equivalent area
outside of the Park Center Plan Development but still within the same drainage, it is staff's
judgment that the water quality treatment requirements for the entire plan development are
met with AP-50. Therefore, no additional ponding or cash dedications are recommended
for this development.

WETLANDS ISSUES
This site was graded prior to the effective date of the Wetlands Conservation Act and
consequently contains no wetlands subject to regulation under the Act. Thus, there are no
wetlands issues associated with this parcel.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff finds that the water quality treatment requirements for the entire Park Center Plan
Development have been met with the construction of Pond AP-50. Therefore, neither
additional ponding requirements nor cash dedications are recommended.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: NOVEMBER 23, 1992
RE: PARKS DEDICATION FEES
Background
At the November meeting of the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission, the issue of recommendation for parks dedication fees for the year 1993 was
placed on the Commission's agenda. At that meeting, the Commission determined that it
would like additional information pertaining to land values. Staff has identified several
vacant parcels within the community. Those parcels were then researched as to their market
value as determined by the Dakota County Assessor's Department. Below is the assessor's
market value for each of these parcels.
It should be noted that these parcels are zoned agricultural or as are part of a PUD and
have an underlying zoning of agricultural. Recognizing that market values are likely to be
less than actual sale values the Commission needs to consider that these land parcels are
probably not reflective of actual sales. I doubt that any owners listed would sell the
property for the dollar amount listed, therefore, Commission needs to look at these values
with some caution.
Discussion
At the last Commission meeting, staff expressed some concern that this approach would be
of limited value in deciding a definitive value for vacant land. Because of the many
variables involved with these parcels; including last sale, topography, zoning, etc. It would
appear that this information is inconclusive and may make the Commission's decision
making all the more difficult and not easier.
In the absence of a number of parcels that reflect land values based on recent sales, it may
be appropriate for the Advisory Commission to stay with current values which were based
on sales of property at the time they were established. There is at least some reliable basis
for that number, and the Commission should take some comfort in it's being a reflective
value of land sold. While several years old, it does have some basis for being used.
c .
In as much as there seems to be a lack of a preponderance of evidence to change value of
the property upward; it may be reasonable for the city to stay with its current land values.
Given that the Commission has already made a recommendation to secure professional
services for establishing 1994 rates, it may be advisable that the Commission simply
recommend continuation of the 1992 rates through 1993.
For Commission Action
To make a recommendation regarding land values for parks dedication purposes.

DATE: NOVEMBER 25, 1992
RE: RESOLUTION SUPPORTING EXPANSION OF FUNDING BY THE STATE
AND DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES FOR ARTERIAL
CONNECTION ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE
MINNESOTA VALLEY TRAIL
Bac und:
The Minnesota Valley River Trail has been identified as a major, multi-use trail by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, State government and adjoining municipalities. The Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources has assumed responsibility for ensuring the coordination
of trail development through these various governmental entities.
When completed, the trail will extend from Fort Snelling State Park to St. Peter, following
the general alignment of the Minnesota River. Major sections of the trail are already
complete and heavily utilized by bikers, cross country skiers, hikers and snowmobilers.
The Commission may recall that the Department has submitted a grant application to the
Metropolitan Council, seeking funds under the Federal Internodal Transportation Efficiency
Act (ISTEA) for federal funding for various trail development projects in Eagan. The Fort
Snelling State Park Trail Access from Rahn Road, Beau-d-Rue Drive, and Silver Bell to
Nichols Road is identified as the biggest priority in the city's ISTEA application.
Staff recently attended a workshop with representatives from the Minneapolis Park Board,
the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, MnDOT, Dakota County, MAC, and the
Metropolitan Council. The purpose of the workshop was to identify missing links in the
Minnesota River Valley Trail, and inter-agency connections for which acquisition is not
funded or will require multi-agency coordination. Examples are: Minnehaha Park, the
Bureau of Mines and Historic Fort Snelling, the United States Federal Building, the Polo
Grounds and the City of Eagan via the Nichols Road trail and the 1494 River Crossing Trail.
Also proposed is a trail extension access through the U.S. Air Force Small Arms Range to
connect Fort Snelling Park proper to the Minnesota Valley Trail..
Those in attendance at the workshop were in agreement that the DNR's pursuit of funding
oZq
from the State Legislature and other networking entities by local governments would be
enhanced by resolutions of support from the governing boards of coordinating agencies.
For Commission Action:
In consideration of this effort a draft resolution has been prepared for the Commission's
consideration. If the Commission is in agreement with the resolution in support of funding
for acquisition and construction of the Minnesota Valley Trail network, it is appropriate that
a recommendation of support be forwarded to the City Council.

MEMORANDUM
TO: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
FROM: JON OYANAGI, RECREATION SUPERVISOR
DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 1992
RE: SOFTBALL POLICY
Background
Prior to Eagan Parks and Recreation operating the adult softball league, they were run by
the teams themselves via a committee. When the City assumed direction of the leagues, the
League Leadership Committee was maintained as an advisory group to hear and recommend
changes in rules, league offerings and policies. This committee is comprised of
representatives from teams in the variety of men's, women's and co-recreational leagues.
The City still maintains final authority in matters regarding facilities, league offerings and
policies. Rules for league play are often implemented after committee approval without the
need for review by the Commission or City Council.
After the 1991 season, the League Leadership Committee made recommendations to expand
the number of "outside" players (players that neither live or work full-time within Eagan)
from three per team to five. In addition, a fee of $25.00 would have been imposed for the
fourth and fifth players. The justification for expansion included:
1. Allowing teams to stay together in spite of players moving or changing jobs.
2. Neighboring communities of Burnsville and Apple Valley allow 49% of a
team to consist of "outside" players.
3. Allowing two or more "outside" players would help teams build a more
competitive team and therefore keep interest high and post-season
advancement more attainable.
4. Building a new team in Eagan is difficult because so many people are new,
making connecting more difficult. A more generous "outside" player limit
would allow a base of friends to build a new team even though all were not
local, and add other members from the Parks and Recreation available
players list.
5. The women's program has been in decline and teams break up or drop out
more frequently. Expanded eligibility would aid these teams to remain active
and keep the women's program healthy.
3.
6. An expanded "outside" player policy would keep teams honest rather than
looking for ways to cheat on their roster.
The Advisory Commission, at the November 7, 1991 meeting, recommended that Parks and
Recreation keep the limit at three and that we charge those three $25.00 each. The
rationale was that since the leagues have grown and fields are almost at capacity, that
eligibility should remain restrictive.
After completing one season with the new "outside" player fee in place, an evaluation can
be made. Of course, every team affected complained about the added fee. The majority
feel Eagan is too restrictive. The revenue generated totalled over $6,000.00 translating to
over 240 players. This represents approximately 7% of the 3,400 players rostered.
The men's team total was 140 compared to 139 in 1991. The women's team total dropped
two teams from the 27 1991 teams to 25. Co-recreational grew from 40 teams in 1991 to
53 in 1992. We turned away co-recreational teams, accommodated all of the men's teams
and lost women's teams.
Issue
The League Leadership Committee has made recommendations for the 1993 season that
effect policies regarding eligibility. They are:
1. Due to the decline of the women's program, the recommendation is to drop
the $25.00 per outside player fee for women's teams only. In addition, expand
the boundaries to include Mendota Heights, Apple Valley and Rosemount
(cities without women's leagues).
2. Grandfather former Eagan players (live or work) if they have played in Eagan
as a local player for at least 5 consecutive years with the same team. Teams
with such players would pay a $25.00 fee but would not count them as one of
the three allowed "outside" players. If a player skips a year or changes teams,
they are no longer grandfathered.
Discussion
There were 31 women's teams in 1990, 27 in 1991 and 25 in 1992. There is concern for the
women's program surviving. Apple Valley and Rosemount have failed to field a women's
league during the past two seasons. It is the staffs opinion that women's softball is
important to the residents of this area, offers choices for women athletes and satisfies an
interest different than co-recreational softball. Anything Parks and Recreation can do to
encourage participation rather than deter, should be implemented.
The reasons for decline are not clear in a community where growth is present and young
adults are plentiful. Co-recreational softball is growing rapidly and this contributes to the
decline. Young adults beginning and raising families either need to cut back participation
or eliminate softball temporarily. Co-recreational softball allows both spouses to participate
and uses only one evening instead of two or three.
Forming a consistent team roster every year grows difficult due to moves, job changes,
pregnancies, injuries, etc., and a manager grows weary of fielding a team. The teams that
tend to return are usually work related teams, competitive teams and teams from large
neighborhood groups.
The League Leadership Committee proposal to drop the "outside" player fee for women's
teams and broadening the boundaries should help teams form, stay together and therefore
keep the women's leagues vital.
The second proposal of grandfathering players who have played together for at least five
years seems reasonable and fair. Players receive benefit for living or working here for an
extended period and still pay a fee towards the program for being outside the boundaries.
Only teams together five years or more are eligible. The problem with this proposal is
administrative. Entering 3500 rostered players from each of the last five years and future
years simply is not cost effective. A computerized system is the only practical way to
monitor this policy and the time to enter names would not be equal to the number of
players that can utilize the rule. To do this by paper would not be effective or accurate and
would rely on memory. Transfer of information from current staff to a new league director
would be difficult by paper records.
Work records are much harder to verify. If this proposal is accepted it would be the League
Director's recommendation to limit it to residents only, not those who worked here for five
years or more.
For Commission Action
It would be appropriate for the Advisory Commission to make a recommendation
concerning this issue.

COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: NOVEMBER 23, 1992
RE: ST. THOMAS BECKETT/TRAIL DEDICATION FEES
Back=and
St. Thomas Beckett, the community church being developed adjacent to Highway 3, has
previously been reviewed by the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission in its
preliminary plot review. At the time of that preliminary plat, the Commission recommended
that parks dedication fees associated with the project be deferred until such time as the
church should ever change land use and second, that the plat be subject to a cash trails
dedication.
The church is now requesting (see attached letter) credit be applied to the trails dedication
amount for on site trail development.
Issue
The issue before the APRNR Commission is whether to extend credit against the trails
dedication fee for St. Thomas Beckett Church.
In a letter dated October 30, regarding the reduction in trail dedication fees, it is noted that
an outlot will be created on property east of trunk Highway 3. This outlot, by definition,
will not be subject to a trail dedication at this time. Therefore, the actual area being used
for the church proper is a parcel of land approximately 17 acres in size. The trails
dedication amount for this would be approximately $14,500.00.
Attached is an exhibit showing trails additions on the church property. It is pointed out in
their letter of October 30, those trails are not part of the city's comprehensive trails plan.
The church is requesting, because these trails do provide an amenity to the city and could
eventually connect to the city's trail system, credit be provided to the church to help offset
a portion of the trails dedication fees. The church trail is 1,400 feet long and five feet wide.
As an estimate for trails construction, staff usually projects $12.00 - $13.00 per lineal foot
for 8' wide trails.
157
Discussion
The existing trails dedication policy does not provide for credits if additional amenities are
provided. However, it is within the prerogative of the Advisory Commission to recommend
to the City Council action which it feels is justifiable. If the Commission were to do this,
it would be more appropriate for the Commission to develop a policy which would not only
cover this particular situation but other situations that may also arise.
In the parks dedication policy, it is permissible for the Advisory Commission to recommend
credits against a cash dedication requirement when the developer provides meaningful, on-
site recreational amenities. This policy provides for up to 25% reduction when those
amenities are provided and the Commission feels they are significant and appropriate.
Historically, the Advisory Commission has not waivered from its trails dedication
requirements, although policy has only been in effect for less than three years. The city has
previously held steadfast to trails dedication requirements for churches, (there has been one)
and schools. However, in neither case was a request made for trails dedication reduction
based on trails within the development.
Recently, the YMCA made a direct request to the City Council for reduction in its trails
dedication based on ponding area. The City Council has deferred the item back to staff for
the review; several Council members suggesting that a trails dedication reduction did not
seem appropriate but would be willing to consider alternatives, provided there is some
recreation use those credits could be exchanged for.
For Commission Action
It would be appropriate for the Advisory Commission to make a recommendation to the
City Council; to require a trails dedication in its entirety, or a motion to extend a (specified
amount) credit for internal trails against the trails dedication amount, determined.

RE: St. Thomas Becket
Trail Dedication Fees
Dear Mr. Vraa:
As you may know the Catholic Community of St. Thomas Becket is in the process
of preparing documents for Final Plat approval. A part of that process
involves establishing the required city fees to be paid by the owner. We have
been informed that the Trail Dedication Fees will be at $854/acre or $28,276
based on 33.11 acres of land.
On October 13 we met with Tom Colbert to discuss the fees to be paid by The
St. Thomas Becket Community. At that meeting it was decided that since there
are no plans at present to develop the property east of T.H. No. 3 it would be
called an outlot on the final plat. We also agreed to subtract out the area of
our property to the west of T.H. No. 3 that is covered by water. This reduced
the actual area to be used to assess fees to 16.98 acres. We feel that this is
the acreage that should be used for determining the Trail Dedication Fees.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND
NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
DATE: NOVEMBER 27, 1992
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON STATUS OF ADMINISTRATIVE RULES
FOR THE PERMANENT PHASE OF THE
WETLANDS CONSERVATION ACT (WCA)
The Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources (BWSR) published the proposed
permanent rules for the 1991 Wetlands Conservation Act on October 19, 1992. A public-
comment period on the proposed rules will extend through at least December 22, 1992. The
rules may or may not be revised based on public comment but will become effective no later
than July 1, 1993 when the permanent program begins.
As the Wetlands Task Force members of . the Commission will remember from our
September 23 meeting, the rules are extensive and controversial. In an attempt to identify
and explain the most significant issues that should be of concern to the City of Eagan I
prepared the attached memo. I want to emphasize that while the memo may appear
somewhat negative because of its focus on problem areas, we all strongly support the
underlying tenants of the law and the rules which promote "no net loss" of wetlands and
provide a strong local government role in administration.
I will be happy to answer any questions the Commission has on this issue.
Thanks.

PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
FROM: RICH BRASCH
WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
RE: COORDINATION OF INPUT ON PROPOSED PERMANENT RULES FOR
WETLANDS CONSERVATION ACT.
DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 1992
Background
As you'll recall, we met on November 2 to.discuss the proposed
rules for the permanent program phase of the Wetlands Conservation
Act. At that time, I alluded to several different provisions of
both the Act and the proposed rules which I felt should be of
concern to the City. One of the items we agreed on in that meeting
was that I would do more work to outline the issues of concern on
which we should consider commenting and investigate possibilities
for coordinating our comments with others having similar concerns.
Proposal for Comment Forum
I have just returned from a morning meeting whose objective was to
decide whether to form a public-private sector coalition made up of
concerned cities, counties, watershed districts, water management
organizations, property owners, and developers to participate in
the rulemaking process for the permanent program of the WCA. If we
are to participate in this coalition, we will have to commit
between $750-$1,000 to help fund preparation of a position paper by
the coalition that will presented at the public hearing on the
rules on December 17, 1992. A working group of the coalition is
developing a platform that outlines the general principles that
will form the foundation for the coalition's work. The platform
will be sent out for review sometime next week. I will need to
provide some indication of our willingness to participate by
Wednesday, November 25. If we are amenable to participation, I
could condition our firm commitment of contributing funds on a
review and acceptance of the coalition platform.
While I still recommend submitting comments as a City and as part
of the Gun Club Lake WMO, the general consensus is that a broad-
based coalition such as the one proposed above stands the best
chance of presenting common concerns that will result in changes in
the rule. The same approach could be used to pursue changes in the
statute over the long term, and the City could participate if we
thought it appropriate. For the next month, however, the emphasis
of the coalition would be to focus on convincing BWSR to make
changes to the rule.
0
Major Issues
With this proposal in mind, I would like to review a few of the
major concerns I have with the proposed rules (and in some cases,
the statute). Please keep in mind that the rule itself is 86 pages
and that I am hitting only some of the major problem areas. Many
of these concerns have been expressed by other entities and are
para-phrased here.
1. Under the interim program, we had considerable discretion to
tailor wetland replacement plans to complement our water
quality program goals and meet the 1 acre for 1 acre
replacement requirement under this phase. We did this by
allowing constructed on-site detention basins for water
quality-if constructed to NURP standards-to be used to also
satisfy wetland replacement requirements. The ponds were
generally constructed with a shallow bench to facilitate
growth of emergent vegetation, then dropped off to the deeper
water that performed most of the pollutant removal function.
While it was difficult to mistake them for a natural wetland,
the ponds were undeniably effective in performing water
quality and flood control functions that natural wetlands
perform in an urban environment.
Under the permanent program, detention basins will not qualify
for wetland replacement. The scientific basis for this
position is unclear. I would argue that a properly designed
detention basin is often more efficient at performing the
primary functions of water quality treatment and flood control
than many natural wetlands. The result will be that a
developer or other property owner could be required to provide
both an on-site treatment pond and wetland replacement on the
same site. The result will be a further shrinkage in
developable areas, with no apparent benefit to priority
resources in many cases.
2. Even though the size, type, and location of wetlands affect
their function and value differently, all wetlands are created
equal in the eyes of the WCA. This simply does not make
sense, especially in an urban environment. One key to the
success of the City's water quality program is that the
resources in question were classified and prioritized in the
plan. This system clearly recognized that if not everything
could be protected given growing population pressures, there
were certain resources of high community value that were to be
protected above all others. The Wetland Conservation Act
doesn't allow for this, either on a local or state level. A
150 square foot, isolated, Type 1 wetland with virtually no
functional value-must be replaced at a minimum 2 acres for one
acre ratio. (It is interesting to note that Type 1 and 2
wetlands of any size on agricultural land are largely exempt
from any regulation under the act because of the intense
2
lobbying by the agricultural groups during development of the
legislation.)
The best alternative to this is to allow local governments the
latitude to develop their own wetland management plan that
would contain an inventory and classification of resources and
identify the management standards to be applied to each group.
The plan would be reviewed and approved by a state oversight
agency, provided it met some reasonable standards. The local
government unit would then be free to administer it's own
program according to the approved plan. Local governments who
elect not to develop their own program would be subject by
default to the over-all state program requirements. While it
is unclear whether the problem is with the rule or the
statute, The current framework does not allow for development
and implementation of management plans or other forms of
"customized", comprehensive wetland resource management at the
local level.
3. The wetland banking provisions that are included in the rule
are overly restrictive. Only restored-not created- wetlands
are eligible for deposit in the "bank" to mitigate for wetland
losses. In a rapidly growing city like Eagan, I would expect
that the number of wetlands whose present condition and
location lend themselves to restoration is minimal. (We'll be
able to confirm whether this is the case with the inventory
and classification currently underway.) With this and other
provisions, the rule basically encourages the proliferation of
numerous isolated wetlands that are difficult to properly
manage instead of a few larger, high quality wetlands located
to maximize their important functional values and which lend
themselves to management as a unit.
4. Under the rules for the permanent phase of the program, a
technical evaluation panel (TEP) composed of one BWSR staff
member, one SWCD staff member, and an engineer from the local
government unit must review and make a recommendation on all
replacement plans. During the interim program, the technical
evaluation panel was utilized only at the discretion of the
LGU, such as when a particularly difficult technical issue
arose. I have used the TEP twice during the interim period so
far. I expect that the work load alone during the permanent
program will make it very difficult for the TEP to review
replacement plans in any sort of a timely manner. Since no
wetland can be filled or drained until a replacement plan is
public noticed and approved and the replacement wetland is in-
place, unnecessary delays in public as well as private
projects could be substantial. In addition, the requirement
that the LGU representative be an engineer would prohibit a
staff person like me from participating on the TEP.
5. The minimum replacement ratio for drained or filled urban
3
4
wetlands is 2 acres replacement wetland for every one acre of
impacted wetland. For wetlands located on agricultural land,
the replacement ratio is 1:1. There is no scientific
rationale underlying these different requirements in the
statute.
6. The law will be exceedingly complex and time-consuming to
administer at the local level if anything but complete
wetlands impact avoidance is practiced. There is some
indication that groups who have exerted a major influence in
drafting of the rules thus far have intentionally made wetland
replacement so difficult that it is virtually impossible to
complete within any sort of reasonable time frame. Because of
the number and location of wetlands in Eagan, total avoidance
will be virtually impossible and we will be faced with dealing
with these onerous replacement provisions for public as well
as private projects.
Conclusion
These are a few of the potential problems with the law and rules as
I see them. Few people-including myself- disagree with the general
"no net loss" concept or with local government involvement in
administering this type of law. The problem is with the mechanics
of the law and especially the rules, which are inflexible and
appear to be heavily biased against urban interests.
The Gun Club Lake WMO is currently compiling detailed comments on
the rules and will submit those comments at the December 17
hearing. However, I think the City should seriously consider
participation in the proposed coalition if we desire substantial
changes in the rule to correct some of the deficiencies discussed
above. I will contact you to set up a meeting early the week of
November 23. I think it might be appropriate to include Tom
Hedges, Tom Colbert, and John Hohenstein as well as you, John
VonDeLinde and myself. Thanks.

RE: STATUS OF WETLANDS INVENTORY/CLASSIFICATION EFFORT
DATE: NOVEMBER 27, 1992
As members of the Commissions Wetland Task Force will recall, we
discussed the need to conduct a reconnaissance-level wetlands
inventory of the City. The purpose of the inventory is to help our
efforts in both administering the Wetlands Conservation. Act and in
examining whether to pursue additional wetlands management and
protection initiatives.
The status of the effort is as follows:
1. Sent Request-for-Proposals (RFP) out to seven firms on
October 2, 1992. Proposals were due October 21, 1992.
2. Six firms responded to RFP. After in-house review, we
selected Frank Svoboda and Associates to conduct the
work. Frank has done similar work for the City of
Chanhassen, May Township, and several other local units
of government.
3. Met with Frank Svoboda and Dakota County Land Information
Director Gary Stevenson. Gary is directing a joint
project between the City of Eagan and the County to
develop a geographic information system (GIS) for Eagan
that includes information on the location of wetlands in
the City. Unfortunately, Gary does not have the time or
the staff to complete incorporation of National Wetlands
Inventory information into GIS, and Svoboda and
Associates does not have the physical facilities to
incorporate the data. Therefore, the City is looking
into hiring a private contractor to complete this work.
I'll have more information on the success of these
efforts at the Commission meeting Thursday.
4. Outlined consultant's role after initial inventory work
is done. Roles include identifying type of wetlands
using both classification systems, assessing the accuracy
of the GIS information through limited ground-truthing,
identifying the degree of degradation and restorable
wetlands in priority areas, and possibly locating
`T(
stormwater ponds that may have assumed wetland
characteristics. We are currently developing a contract
scope and cost for this work. The anticipated work should
be completed by March 30, 1993.
I plan on providing just a brief over-view
Thursday's Commission meeting and will be
additional information if desired.

RE: POSSIBLE RECLASSIFICATION OF POND LP-47
Background
At it's August, 1992 meeting, the Commission reviewed water quality
and wetlands impact issues associated with the Thomas Beckett
Church development, located near the east end of Hay Lake (Figure
1). To provide maximum protection to Hay Lake, staff recommended
that an existing pond in the southeast corner of the site be
enlarged to receive and treat stormwater runoff from the site. The
Eagan stormwater comprehensive plan adopted by the City Council in
1990 also called for stormwater from the site to be conveyed off
the Church property to the south into pond LP-47, a 1.8 acre Type
4 deep marsh, before discharge into Hay Lake (Figure 2). Discharge
to LP-47 was considered desirable by staff to further remove
pollutants before the water was introduced to Hay Lake, a
recreationally classified water body. It was also considered
consistent with the water quality plan classification of LP-47 as
a nutrient basin. In addition, the Comp plan called for Pond LP-47
to receive runoff from the Curry property to the south of the
Church property before that runoff is discharged to Hay Lake. In
order to make possible gravity drainage from LP-47 to Hay Lake, the
normal water level in both ponds needed to be raised. This would be
expected to at least temporarily degrade much of the shrub, tree,
and emergent vegetation around the edge of the wetland.
A cursory examination of the LP-47 wetland indicates that it may
come as close to a large, natural wetland largely unaffected by
development as we have in the City. Staffs opinion is that it's
value for aesthetics and wildlife habitat are significant inspite
of the fact that it lies adjacent to Highway 3. In addition,
creation of a two-cell pond as part of the Thomas Beckett Church
development would decrease pollutant loading to Hay Lake to near
acceptable levels, though not to the levels possible if the runoff
was next routed to LP-47 before discharge to Hay Lake.
Proposal
Staff would like to discuss with the Commission the merits of
protecting the wetland values associated with LP-47. Protection
would involve preventing a significant alteration of the water
level, trying to maintain the current water balance for the
wetland, and preventing discharge of untreated stormwater to. the
wetland now and in the future from both Church and other property.
If the Commission would like to consider this proposal, staff will
assemble a brief feasibility analysis that examines issues which
need to be considered in making the decision and develop a
recommendation for possible re-classification of the wetland.
Specific issues to be addressed would be:
a. The projected impact to water quality in Hay Lake
of more directly discharging stormwater to Hay Lake
from developed areas.
b. Whether reasonable alternatives exist to direct
stormwater away from LP-47 when the Curry property
to the south develops and what the implications
might be for the quality of other water'bodies.
c. What, if any, plans MnDOT has to upgrade Highway 3
and how those plans could affect LP-47.
d. How the property owner feels about working with the
City to protect the wetland. Since the wetland lies
on private land to the south of the Church
property, the Commission may want to give the
landowner a chance to comment on the proposal.
Appropriate action could then be taken at the January 1993
Commission meeting.

DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS
DECEMBER 1992
1.*« The Eagan Seniors Group held its first meeting in the Community Room at Eagan Woods this week. Forty-
eight seniors, approximately half from the community and half from the senior housing complex, attended.
Intermingling occurred, so staff is encouraged by this first encounter. If anything, the Senior's Group wondered,
to staff, whether the residents would "join" the group. So -we just gave them all name tags and welcomed them
to the Eagan Seniors Group!
2. The winter "Discover Us!" brochure is at the printer. Registration for skating lessons, cross country ski lessons,
Tiny Tots, the Bandy School, speedskating and much more, begins on December 12.
3.*1K The staff will begin the implementation of new registration procedures at the December 12 session. The system
is similar in concept to bank tellers. Several people can be helped at one time. The system requires more staff
but is perceived to be more user friendly. The plan is to have all "bugs" worked out before the May mass
registrations for summer programs.
4.*« Staff attended the MRPA fall conference in Rochester. The conference was well attended. Networking with
fellow professionals and the opportunity to attend an array of education sessions are always the highlight of the
conference.
5. *1K Now that preparation of the winter brochure is behind us, flyers for teen activities can be made ready to send
to the student representatives on the Recreation Sub-Committee.
6.*« Staff will be meeting with the Eagan Hockey Association age coordinators to review Department maintenance
procedures, Winter Recreation Leaders responsibilities, and procedures to reserve ice time. Staff has held this
meeting for several years and find that the expectations of coaches more closely match the Department's service
capabilities.
7. *,K NYSCA coaches clinics were held for ice ringettes. Fourteen coaches were certified. Ringette is the smallest
participant sport for which certification clinics are run. r
8.*« Staff has begun preliminary work with School District #196 concerning ball fields for 1993. The quality of turf
at Dakota Hills Middle School and Pinewood Elementary are of particular concern, however, youth programs
cannot be managed unless both facilities are available for use by the community.
9.*« Recent Eagan Athletic Association board elections resulted in most incumbents staying on board. The only
sport without a director at this point is fall in-house soccer.
10.*« The new Dakota Civic Theatre postponed its premier opening of a the "Fantastics". The delay was for only two
weeks and was necessitated by construction glitches with lighting and seating. Volunteer labor is doing much
of the work.
11.*« A receiver and amplifier were attached to the outdoor speaker at Clearwater Park. This will be in place to
provide skaters with background music, allow for public address announcements, and provide music for pairs
skating lessons. A locked cupboard, constructed by Steve Hadden, will safely house these components.
12.*« Interviews are nearly complete for the approximately 30 Winter Recreation Leader positions that will staff the
twelve warming shelters. Staff training will take place December 15 - 17 with a targeted opening date of
December 18, weather permitting.
13.*« Registration is currently underway for Men's Broomball, Co-Rec Broomball, 4-Man Hockey, and Boot Hockey.
Those seasons begin later in December.
14.*« Fall Tiny Tots classes are ending the week of November 30. Past activities included a Thanksgiving feast day
where each child brought an apple, orange, raisins or similar items and the children observed how when
everyone shares, a feast is made. A program was also held for the parents to hear and see some activities the
children have learned during the past 10 weeks.
15.*K Winter volleyball registrations are currently being accepted. As of November 30, 67 teams have registered.
Leagues offered are men's officiated, women's officiated, co-ed officiated, and co-ed recreational.
16.*« The North Pole calling program will be held for the seventh year on December 9 and 10, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Volunteers are still needed to call children and given them an opportunity to talk to Santa. Volunteers always
come away with a story and a few laughs to share.
17.*« All regulation soccer goals were scraped and repainted prior to winter storage. Many thanks to seasonal park
maintenance employees Jean Martin and Matt Freeland for completion of this tedious and time consuming task.
18.*« All of the shelter buildings were inspected and minor repairs completed as needed prior to the winter season's
heavy use of these facilities.
19.*,, An additional rail was installed on the Blackhawk boardwalk to address potential safety concerns. Steve Hadden
and Alex Lammers completed this task.
20.*« The new Thomas Lake cross country ski trail was signed in preparation for the skiing season.
21.*« A sound system was installed at Clearwater Park to enhance the experience of pleasure skaters at this popular
site.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCE
COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
FR DOROTHY PETERSON, SUPERINTENDENT OF RECREATION
DATE: NOVEMBER 25, 1992
RE: COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING - C.O.P.
Issue
There is no immediate action requested on this item by the Commission. This item is
provided for informational purposes.
Background
Department staff has been attending Community Oriented Policing Committee meetings for
several months. Personnel from the Police Department, Planning and Administration are
serving on the Committee which is addressing a change in the approach to providing police
services.
Rona Sampson from the Police Executive Research Forum, based in Washington, D. C.,
conducted an all-day workshop in June. The purpose of the workshop and committee
meetings has been to foster an understanding of the concept of community oriented policing
- C.O.P. - and to identify how best to implement the philosophy in the City of Eagan.
Basically, the concept involves:
• Identifying neighborhoods
• Creating neighborhood advisory groups
• Orienting and training police officers in the C.O.P. philosophy which takes officers
out of their patrol cars for a portion of their shifts.
• Police officers would visit with businesses, youth or work on solving problems that
are identified in their sector during the non-patrol time.
• Solutions to problems will be hopefully identified through interaction with the
community.
.§-7.
Community Oriented Policing
November 25, 1992
Page 2
The Police Department has divided the city into four (4) beats or quadrants. Each beat has
a mixture of single family, multiple, commercial and industrial development.
Police sergeants assigned to each beat are currently forming advisory group for that beat
area. The first meetings of the Advisory Committees will be held in January.
Representation on the advisory groups will be diverse.
Training for police officers in the C.O.P. philosophy will begin within the next six to eight
weeks. Articles have already appeared in local newspapers concerning Community Oriented
Policing, informing the public about the city's new direction for policing.
Issues
Parks and Recreation's role in Community Oriented Policing is only generally defined at this
time. Ultimately, it is likely that a request for recreational activity for a specific
neighborhood or a specific group will occur if it is seen as a solution to a problem.
In addition to administrative issues such as who requests programs, from whom and how,
other basic issues have been identified and included.
What can Parks and Recreation actually do?
What is the relationship between Parks and Recreation and Community Oriented
Policing?
Are there specific examples of what Parks and Recreation can do?
Discussion
Recreation staff is pleased to be a part of this "problem-solving" approach to neighborhood
problems and hopes to play a role when called upon. The bottom line that ultimately
controls what Parks and Recreation can do is the budget. The Recreation budget does not
currently include a Community Oriented Policing program.
Until the Police Department begins operating under the C.O.P. philosophy, an unknown
factor is how frequently a recreation activity or support program will be identified as a
portion of a solution to a problem.
Closely aligned to budget is staffing. It is not known what skills a recreation leader will be
required to have to effectively reach potential program participants. The wrong role model
in any particular situation may negate the opportunity for success.
Community Oriented Policing
November 25, 1992
Page 3
The relationship between Parks and Recreation and Community Oriented Policing has not
yet been defined, but is expected to be clarified as time goes on. It is assumed that
Recreation will be asked to respond to program park requests although no specifics have
been identified.
Establishing lines of communication guidelines for evaluation of program requests,
prioritization seems important at this juncture. The goal would be to maintain an open, yet
objective perspective.
The Police Department has requested that Parks and Recreation provide examples of the
types of programs that could be done. Staff's opinion is that the neighborhood advisory
committees are more likely to request a specific activity rather than turn to Recreation and
say "do something."
A brainstormed list of possible requests would be a starting point. Staff could then evaluate
what resources are needed for each activity, including neighborhood volunteers.
An additional aspect for consideration is that the neighborhood committees might request
park amenities for isolated neighborhoods. This may make a response more difficult.
For Commission Action
No action is requested on this item. Staff is providing this information for background
purposes recognizing the Commission will want to be involved and may want to provide
additional direction.

SUBJECT: PLANNED. DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT,
PRELIMINARY PLAT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
(PARK CENTER 3RD ADDITION)
APPLICANT: TACO BELL CORPORATION
LOCATION: SE 1/4 SECTION 30
EXISTING ZONING: PLANNED DEVELOPMENT-COMMUNITY
SHOPPING CENTER
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: NOVEMBER 24, 1M
DATE OF REPORT: NOVEMBER 16,1992
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted requesting an
Amendment to the Park Center Planned Development, a Preliminary Plat of Outlot E, Park
Center Addition, consisting of one lot and one outlot on .98 acres, a Conditional Use Permit
to allow a Class II restaurant, and a Conditional Use Permit to allow a pylon sign.
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT: The Park Center Planned Development
Agreement made on August 15, 1989 designated specific uses for Outlots B through E as
follows: Outlot B - a 4,800 sq. ft. bank; Outlot C - a free-standing 6,000 sq. ft. retail
business; Outlot D - an 86,600 sq. ft. retail strip center, and Outlot E - a 4,500 sq. ft. Class
I restaurant. To date, no development has occurred on any of these outlots. The Planned
Development sketch plan and conditions are attached.
BACKGROUND: The Park Center Addition Final Plat was approved by the City Council
on September 18, 1990. On April 16, 1991 Outlot A, Park Center Addition, was final
platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Park Center 2nd Addition, to develop the senior housing site.
The senior housing site is not included in the Park Center Planned Development.
COMMENTS: The Park Center Planned Development designated Outlot E to be developed
with a Class I (traditional sit-down) restaurant. The applicant is requesting an amendment
to the Planned Development to allow a Class II (fast-food) restaurant at this location.
SITE PLAN: Access to the site will be from Cliff Lake Road approximately 450' north of
Cliff Road. An ingress/egress easement will allow the access drive to be built across Outlot
D. Analysis of this access is difficult prior to Outlot D being developed. The plan calls for
a 1,989 sq. ft. brick building including a drive-thru window and 39 on-site parking spaces; the
drive-thru aisle will accommodate seven vehicle stacking spaces that will not interfere with
any other internal traffic circulation. All building, parking, and drive aisle setback
?of.
requirements are met. A brick trash/recycling enclosure will be attached to the north side
of the building and all rooftop mechanical equipment shall be screened from ground level
Dakota County is requiring a 15' highway easement and restricted access along Cliff Road.
This will require the entire site to shift 15' to the north to meet setback requirements.
SIGNAGE: A condition of the Park Center Planned Development Agreement required an
overall pylon sign plan. This sign plan was executed on September 18, 1990 and provides
for a pylon sign on Outlot E (site 1). The applicant is proposing a pylon sign supported by
two brick columns. The sign meets all Sign Code requirements. Due to berming and
landscaping along Cliff Road, the pylon sign will be located approximately 50' off the east
property line and 10' off the south property line.
The building elevations provided show building signage on all four sides of the building.
This is not consistent with the City's Sign Code which allows building signage of not more
than 20% on all sides of a building facing a major street. The building signage proposed for
the west and north building elevations is not allowed.
LANDSCAPE PLAN: The revised landscape plan provides a mixture of overstory,
understory, and coniferous trees that will provide year-round color. Landscaped berming
will be required along the southern property line.
64-
DING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The existing terrain of the site is fairly flat
with no trees. A minimal amount of grading will be needed to prepare this site for
development. The preliminary grading plan shows construction of a berm along the
southerly property line to provide a buffer to Cliff Road, Dakota County Road 32. The
maximum cuts on this site are 2 feet and the maximum fills are 5 feet.
The preliminary drainage plan shows constructing an internal storm sewer system that will
drain this development northerly to a publicly maintained storm sewer system. The public
storm sewer line shall be constructed to the north along the west side of Cliff Lake Road
and connect to an existing 27" storm sewer stub located approximately 500 feet north of this
development. The plans approved with the final plat application shall include detailed plans
and specifications that will show the construction of the proposed storm sewer across Outlot
D of Park Center Addition. The drainage of the proposed parking lot shall slope to the
concrete curb and gutter and then to the proposed storm sewer and this should eliminate
bituminous swales in the proposed parking lots and drive aisles. The storm sewer system
that will drain this site drains to Pond AP-25 which is a pond on the City's Comprehensive
Stormwater Management Plan. Pond AP-25 is a sedimentation basin located 800 feet north
of this lot along the west side of Cliff Lake Road.
This development will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures
in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards.
WATER DUALITY: This proposed development is located in drainage basin A and will
generate runoff that will discharge to Pond AP-25, a 1.3 acre 6 acre-foot detention basin
classified as a nutrient pond in the City's Water Quality Management Plan. There are no
recreational waterbodies directly downstream of Pond AP-25.
This proposed development is part of the Park Center PUD which has a total net
developable area of approximately 19.2 acres. Pond AP-50 lies along the west edge of the
PUD and was graded by the owners of the Park Center PUD to meet treatment
requirements for the entire development, of which this parcel is a part. Analysis using the
City's water quality model indicates that a pond having a volume of 2.6 acre-feet and
treating runoff from at least 19 acres of combined commercial/industrial and multifamily
residential would be needed to meet requirements for the Park Center PUD as a whole.
As-built drawings for Pond AP-50 indicate that the wet volume for the pond is
approximately 2.6 acre-feet and the drainage area is about 223 acres. It is staffs judgement
that the water quality treatment requirements for the entire PUD are met with this pond.
Therefore, no additional ponding or cash dedications will be recommended.
The site was graded prior to the effective date of the Wetlands Conservation Act.
Consequently, there are no wetland issues associated with this parcel.
These recommendations are subject to approval of the Advisory Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources Commission.
63
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient depth and capacity has been provided to
this lot from an existing 18" sanitary sewer along Cliff Road. An existing 6" DIP sewer
service that connects to the existing 18" sanitary sewer is available with an invert elevation
of 908.5. The final utility plan shall include a manhole at the connection to the 6" sewer
service stub. Water main of sufficient pressure and capacity is readily available to serve this
site from an existing 6" watermain along the west edge of Cliff Lake Road. The 6" water
main has been stubbed to this property and the preliminary utility plan shows extending the
water main to the proposed building. A hydrant shall be added on the 6" water main as
shown on the preliminary utility plan to add additional fire protection to this site.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Street access for the proposed development will be
provided from Cliff Lake Road which is along the east property line of the site. No access
is being proposed to Cliff Road which is along the south property line of the site. The
preliminary site plan shows constructing a private street from this site to the north for 300
feet and connect to an existing street opening on Cliff Lake Road. The existing street
opening on Cliff Lake Road is an opening with turn lanes and has a full median opening
but it is not an intersection with traffic signals. The final plans submitted with the final plat
application shall include detailed plans of the private road extension from this lot up to Cliff
Lake Road. The proposed parking lot for this development shall be constructed with
concrete curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing. The preliminary site plan shows
temporary bituminous curb to be constructed along the west and north edges of the parking
lot and this temporary bituminous curb will be removed when the parking lot expands as
development occurs on Outlot D of Park Center Addition.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS/PERMITS: This development will be responsible for
dedicating a drainage and utility easement over the proposed storm sewer that will be
constructed in Outlot D of the Park Center Addition from this lot and heading in a
northerly direction along the west side of Cliff Lake Road.
The developer will be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA,
MWCC, MN Dept. of Health, Dakota County, etc.) are acquired prior to final plat approval.
64.

Development single family on the east and south, Agriculture to the south, and R-1 single
family to the west and north. The City's current Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan
designates the area as D-1, Single Family (0-3 units/acre). There is an existing home on Lot
1, Block 1, which will remain.
BACKGROUND: In 1980 Braun Sunrise Addition was platted. The four lot subdivision is
located west of Drexel Court, south of Braun Court, and east of Pilot Knob Road. Lot 1,
(the largest of the lots at 101,564 sq. ft.) is what is currently being proposed to be subdivided
into Braun Sunrise 2nd Addition. In 1988 the applicant received a Waiver of Plat, acquiring
an 837 sq. ft. triangular portion of property from Lot 2 of Braun Sunrise Addition. In
exchange, the north property line of Lot 2 was modified to include a 5' strip of property (835
sq. ft.). This explains the unusual east property line configuration.
COMMENTS: The proposed three lot plat is located on Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Braun
Sunrise Addition. Lot 2 slopes down from Braun Court and from the west property line.
The rear portion of Lot 2 and the westerly property line are wooded with the north one-
third of the lot being grassy. The single family lots range in area from 23,164 sq. ft. to
34,996 sq. ft., exceeding the 12,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size. Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, will take
access from Braun Court. Lot 3, Block 1 (a flag lot), is proposing to take access from Pilot
Knob Road. This lot does not meet the minimum 50' lot frontage requirement along Pilot
Knob Road. A Variance of 20' shall be required.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The grading that will be required for the
proposed two new houses will be done on an individual lot basis with the building permit.
The preliminary plat submittal did not include a detailed grading, drainage and erosion
control plan showing the amount of disturbance that the proposed houses will have on the
existing woods and terrain of the area. The applicant did submit a layout that shows the
approximate locations of the proposed houses and the elevations of the houses. No grading
is proposed to be done on Lot 1 where the existing house is located.
The house on Lot 2 is proposed to be built in an existing low area that is drained by a 12"
R.C.P. culvert that drains across Braun Court and into Fish Lake, Pond JP-4, which is a
designated ponding area on the City's Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan, The
low area on Lot 2 does not have an emergency overland spillway until the water would build
up high enough to cross Braun Court which is at elevation 864. The proposed house on Lot
2 shall be constructed 3 feet above the freeboard elevation of the 100-year high water level
of the low area on Lot 2. Preliminary calculations show that the high water level of the low
area during a 100-year event will reach elevation 860. Therefore, the minimum lowest entry
level for the house on Lot 2 shall be at elevation 863.
The location of the house on Lot 2 will require fill.to be placed in the low area to construct
the proposed driveway and house. The fill will require the extension of the existing 12"
storm sewer that drains the low area. Also, the fill will require the removal of some trees
that provide a nice buffer along the west side of the lot. The construction of the house on
Lot 2 shall allow the drainage to be maintained across Lot 2 to the existing storm sewer
system that drains this area of 2.8 acres.
The proposed house on Lot 3 is shown to be located on the east end of the lot and is
proposed to have a long driveway to Pilot Knob Road. The construction of the house and
driveway will require the removal of a number of trees that are located on this lot. The
driveway out to Pilot Knob Road will require a culvert under the driveway to convey the
drainage from the property to the south of Lot 3 to be conveyed in a northerly direction.
Since this development drains directly to Fish Lake, the proposed house builder shall take
special care in preventing erosion from these proposed houses. A permanent vegetative
cover shall be established on all disturbed areas that will control soil erosion within 15 days
after the final grade is established. In the interim basis, soil stabilization measures such as
silt fence or bay bales shall be installed to protect the soil from washing into the existing
storm sewer system.
WATER QUALITY: Much of the runoff from this proposed development will drain directly
to Fish Lake. However, the parcel is too small to accommodate a properly designed wet
detention basin. Therefore, a cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding will be
recommended to meet the water quality treatment requirements. The cash dedication for
this parcel is based on the area of the entire parcel less the area of Block 1 which is already
developed for single family residential purposes. The cash dedication is estimated at $1,050.
0.t
There are no wetland issues associated with this development.
These recommendations are subject to approval by the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and
Natural Resources Commission.
UTILITIES The existing house on Lot 1 is currently served by City sanitary sewer and
water. The proposed house on Lot 2 has sewer and water services stubbed to it from Braun
Court. The proposed house on Lot 3 has an existing 1" water service stubbed to it from
Pilot Knob Road.
The preliminary utility plan submitted by the applicant shows providing sanitary sewer
service to Lot 3 by constructing the sewer service to the south through the properties in the
Drexel Heights Addition. City records show that there is an existing 8" line approximately
70 feet south of Lot 3 with an invert elevation of 883.5. The developer shall obtain an
easement from the property owners to the south to construct sanitary sewer service to the
existing 8" line. Also, the proposed house on Lot 3 shall be raised up to allow gravity
service to work to serve the proposed house.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Access to the existing house on Lot 1 and to
proposed Lot 2 is provided from Braun Court which is a 30' wide public street. Braun
Court connects to Drexel Court and loops to the south and east to Wescott Road. Access
to Lot 3 is proposed to be provided from an existing driveway opening off of Pilot Knob
Road, Dakota County Highway 31. The applicant shall obtain a permit from the County
that will allow this driveway to connect to Pilot Knob Road. The City received a letter on
November 9, 1992, from Dakota County that stated no access will be allowed to Pilot Knob
Road. The proposed driveway for the house on Lot 3 is shown to be approximately 280 feet
long.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS/EASEMENTS: This development shall dedicate all right-of-
way and easements necessary for Braun Court. The City currently has a street easement
deed for Braun Court. However, the plat shall also dedicate right-of-way over this street
easement for Braun Court. Also a 20' drainage easement shall be dedicated across Lot 2
to provide for the drainage that runs in a northerly direction across Lot 2 to the existing
storm sewer by Braun Court.
The developer will be responsible for obtaining the permits to construct the driveway and
culvert along Pilot Knob Road for Lot 3 from Dakota County. Also, the developer will be
responsible for obtaining the easements to the south for the sanitary sewer service for Lot
3.

BRAUN SUNRISE 2ND ADDITION
Dear Mr. Sturm:
The Dakota County Plat Commission met on November 9, 1992,
to consider the preliminary plat of BRAUN SUNRISE 2ND
ADDITION. Said plat is adjacent to C.S.A.H. NO. 31 and is,
therefore, subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat
Ordinance.
The Plat Commission does not recommend approval of this plat
as no access to C.S.A.H. NO. 31 will be allowed.
The ordinance requires resubmittal of the final plat before
the recommendation of approval is made to the County Board.
No work shall commence in the County's right of way until a
permit is obtained from the County Highway Department.
