01/07/1993 - Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission
MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JANUARY 5, 1993
RE: JANUARY 7, 1993 COMMISSION MEETING
The January meeting of the Advisory Commission will be preceded by a workshop session
beginning at 6:15 p.m. for the purpose of reviewing park naming for two park parcels. This
item does appear on the regular agenda for the Commission. The workshop is intended to
provide an opportunity to discuss issues of park naming for two park parcels, that being
Lexington/Diffley site and Manor Lake.
The regular agenda for the Commission is relatively light for the month of January.
Reorganization of the Commission takes place in February. This follows the Council's
appointment of Commission members at the second meeting in January. Therefore, the first
meeting in February is the official reorganization for the next year business for the
Commission.
Following the Consent Items and Development Proposals staff has returned the Wenzel
Addition for review by the Advisory Commission. You will recall that the Advisory
Commission has previously reviewed this item but has requested that the developer return
it with a detailed grading plan for review of those areas which are sensitive to the lake and
existing vegetation.. The second item under Old Business is the Park Naming issue which
the Commission may feel more comfortable in now making a recommendation to the City
Council after the workshop session.
Under New Business there is two items. The first is a request from a resident for a skating
rink near Woodland Elementary School. Staff did provide a response to this individual
which indicated the item would be placed before the Advisor Commission. No action is
necessary at this time on this particular item.
The second item before the Commission is a request for a golf driving range on the
Lexington/Diffley site.
Under Water Quality, Water Quality Coordinator Rich Brasch will update the Advisory
Commission on the City's position regarding wetlands; the pending rules and regulations that
are being promulgated by the State of Minnesota. The Commission is not asked to take a
specific action at this time regarding this particular item.
The first item under Other Business and Reports is the report prepared for the City
Administrator regarding the oak wilt problem. This memorandum is self-explanatory. It
presents staff recommendation for redirection dealing with the oak wilt problem. The staff
will expand on this written material with a verbal presentation.
The 1993 operational budget has been completed. Staff will provide the Advisory
Commission with a departmental handout on the operational budget for your information.
A more formal City budget, completed by the City's Finance Department is in the final
stages of being assembled and will be provided to the Advisory Commission when made
available.
As always, if members of the Advisory Commission are unable to attend the meeting or the
workshop session, we would appreciate you notifying the department of your intended
absence.
Respectfully submitted,
Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation

MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF
ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
EAGAN, MINNESOTA
DECEMBER 3, 1992
A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission was called
to order at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 3, 1992 by Vice Chair Ted Billy. The following Commission
Members were present: Ted Billy, Deborah Johnson, Lee Markell, Dan Mooradian, Kevin Knight, Erin Ipsen-
Borgersen and Jack Johnson. Commission Member Jonathan Widem was not present. Staff present included
Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation, Stephen Sullivan, Landscape Architect/Park Planner; Dorothy
Peterson, Superintendent of Recreation; Rich Brasch, Water Quality Coordinator; Jon Oyanagi, Recreation
Supervisor and Cherryl Mesko, Secretary.
AGENDA
Kevin Knight moved, Dan Mooradian seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the agenda
as presented.
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 1992
Ted Billy moved, Lee Markell seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the minutes of
November 5, 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, Dan Mooradian moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen
seconded the motion to make the following recommendations to the City Council. All members voted in favor.
1. Braun Sunrise 2nd Addition-Henry A. Braun. Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, Braun Sunrise 2nd
Addition be subject to a cash parkland dedication and cash trailways dedication. Water
quality treatment requirements would be met through the payment of cash dedication in lieu
of on-site ponding and there are no wetlands subject to jurisdiction under the Wetlands
Conservation Act on the site.
2. Park Center 3rd Addition - Taco Bell Corporation. The proposal is subject to a cash parks
dedication. The proposal is also 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. 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.

PARK NAMING
Director Vraa indicated that he had talked with Dick Carroll and although Mr. Carroll has completed
the research into the history of the parks that are to be named, he was unable to meet with the Commission
prior to their meeting. It was decided that another meeting would be set at a later date to address this issue.
PARKS/TRAILS DEDICATION REVIEW
Director Vraa introduced this item as being carried over from the November Commission meeting.
At that meeting the Commission determined it would like additional information pertaining to land values.
Based on that request staff identified several vacant parcels within the community and researched them as to
their market value as determined by the Dakota County Assessor's Department. Ken added that the parcels are
zoned agricultural or as part of a PUD that has an underlying zoning of agriculture, however, it was noted that
it would be unlikely that the landowner would sell the property for the assessed value indicated. Because of
that, Ken suggested that the Commission look at the land values with some caution since the price per acre was
anywhere between $367 - $23,560 per acre.
Ted Billy, noting that there had been a lengthy discussion at the last meeting with a split vote to freeze
the 1993 fees at the 1992 rates, suggested that since there was no concrete data substantiating a proposed
increase that the rates for 1993 remain the same as 1992. Jack Johnson and Kevin Knight concurred with Mr.
Billy's comments but Mr. Knight added that the recommendation to the City Council should strongly emphasize
the importance of hiring an appraiser to look at land values for the 1994 rates.
After further discussion, Ted Billy moved, Dan Mooradian seconded with all members voting in favor
to have the parks and trails dedications fees for 1993 remain the same as they had been for 1992. Further that
an appraiser be hired to review land values for evaluation of the 1994 parks and trails dedication fees.
Kevin Knight thanked staff for providing the best information available to the Commission to help with
this decision. He continued that once an appraiser has done some research it would be easier to determine
a fair but equitable land value to base the 1994 fees.
MINNESOTA VALLEY TRAIL RESOLUTION
Superintendent of Recreation Peterson introduced this item as a proposed resolution supporting
expansion of funding by the state and Department of Natural Resources for arterial connection acquisition and
construction of the Minnesota Valley Trail. Dorothy reminded the Commission that the Department had
submitted a grant application to the Metropolitan Council seeking funds under the Federal Internodal
Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) for federal funding of various trail development projects in Eagan.
Identified as the highest priority in the City's grant was the Fort Snelling State Park Trail Access from Rahn
Road, Beau-d-Rue Drive, and Silver Bell to Nichols Road.
Dorothy continued that Eagan was the only south of the river city represented at a recent workshop
with representatives from the Minneapolis Park Board, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, MnDOT,
Dakota County, MAC, and the Metropolitan Council.
Jack Johnson expressed his support for the resolution noting the positive impact this will have in
connecting Eagan with other communities.

After further discussion Kevin Knight moved, Lee Markell seconded with all members voting in favor
to recommend the acceptance of the Resolution urging the expansion of funding for acquisition and
construction of the Minnesota Valley Trail and arterial connections.
SOFTBALL ELIGIBILITY CHANGE
Director Vraa introduced this item as a review of the adult softball eligibility requirements based on
recommendations made by the League Leadership Committee and then introduced Recreation Supervisor Jon
Oyanagi who provided the Commission with further background. Jon noted that the League Leadership
Committee is comprised of representatives from teams in the variety of men's, women's and co-recreational
leagues. Although the City maintains final authority in matters regarding facilities, league offerings and policies,
the committee gets involved in league rule evaluation and changes.
Jon continued that after the 1991 season the League Leadership Committee recommended the
expansion of "outside" players from three to five per team with a fee of $25.00 being imposed for the fourth
and fifth players. This item was brought to the Commission in November, 1991 and they recommended that
the "outside" player number remain at three and that those three players be assessed an outside player fee of
$25.00. With the completion of the 1992 softball season the impact of the new fee has been evaluated. Jon
noted that the men's teams increased by one team compared to 1991, the women's teams decreased by two
teams from 1991 and co-recreational grew by 13 teams compared to 1991. Based on the numbers of teams
participating in 1992 and the concern for participation numbers dropping due to the strict eligibility
requirements, Jon continued that the League Leadership has made two recommendations for the Commission
to consider for the 1993 softball season. The first recommendation is to drop the $25.00 outside player fee
for the women's program as well as expand the eligality boundaries to include Mendota Heights, Apple Valley
and Rosemount (cities without women's leagues) in order to re-build the women's program. The second
recommendation was to grandfather former Eagan players if they have played in Eagan as a local player for at
least 5 consecutive years with the same team. These teams would require that the grandfathered players would
still be responsible for the $25.00 "outside" player fee but would not be counted as one of the three allowed
"outside" players. Additionally, if a player skips a year or changes teams, they are no longer grandfathered.
Jon noted that the rationale for the second recommendation was to accommodate players who have played on
an Eagan team for several years, move to another suburb, but want to continue playing with "their" team.
Mr. Oyanagi indicated that administering the grandfathering option could be very difficult but possible.
It would require several hours of data entry to get the information on all team members. Kevin Knight asked
what advantages there would be to having all the information necessary to monitor the grandfathering option.
Jon indicated that it could also serve as a valuable data base for other information the department may want
to retrieve, however, the updating each year would require a big block of time.
Jack Johnson asked if by encouraging an increase in the number of teams will the existing facilities be
strained. Jon responded that currently there are some openings in Monday and Friday which allows for
potential growth. Mr. Johnson responded that if the existing number of teams are maintained there would
appear to be very limited potential for growth and by encouraging more outside players he opined that growth
would appear to be limited for Eagan residents.

Minutes of December 3,1992

John Ruppert, manager of one of the women's softball teams, indicated that the impact of the outside
player fees has resulted in a drop in the women's program. He continued that teams can pull additional players
from the "draft list" (available players not affiliated with a particular team) but a large number of those players
are from surrounding communities that do not have a women's program. With the allowance of three outside
players it is often difficult for managers to field a full team and remain eligible. John continued that by
allowing for the flexibility to include surrounding communities within the eligibility limitations it would help
to increase the number of women's teams that may participate.
Dan Mooradian asked if the dropping of the outside player fee or opening boundaries for the women's
program would have the most benefit. Jon Oyanagi responded that initiating both options would be beneficial.
Jon continued that communities such as Apple Valley and Burnsville allow up to 49% outside player
participation and the fee is similar to what Eagan charges. Mr. Mooradian asked if there would be a problem
with the men's teams if it was decided to waive the women's outside player fees and extend the eligibility
boundaries. Mr. Ruppert responded that the League Leadership representatives for the men's teams appeared
to understand the rationale for instituting this type of change in order to re-build the women's program.
In response to a question regarding the amount of time necessary to implement a program to monitor
the grandfathering of players, Mr. Oyanagi responded that it is estimated that 40-60 hours would be required
to put the preliminary information into a data base. Ted Billy asked staff what their recommendations were
regarding this item. Mr. Oyanagi responded that staff would like to see the fee dropped for the women's
program as wel I as expanding the boundaries but they are looking for direction from the Commission regarding
the grandfathering option. Jack Johnson indicated he was in favor of grandfathering players and charging a $25
outside player fee for those participating in the men's program and he also favored dropping the $25.00 outside
player fee for the women's teams along with expanding the boundaries: Kevin Knight agreed with the changes
proposed in the women's program but felt that the grandfathering option for the men's teams would require too
much time to setup and monitor. Ted Billy suggested as an option to grandfathering that the number of outside
players be changed to 4 or 5; this would generate almost as much money as grandfathering while eliminating
the time involved in administering such a program. Mr. Johnson reiterated his support for grandfathering
players into the men's leagues based on the recommendations made by the League Leadership Committee.
After further discussion Erin Ipsen-Borgersen moved, Lee Markell seconded with all members voting
in favor to drop the $25.00 outside player fee for the women's softball program and to expand the eligibility
boundaries to include Mendota Heights, Apple Valley and Rosemount.
Ted Billy moved, Erin lpsen-Borgersen seconded a motion to charge a fee of $25.00 for each "outside
player" rostered and to increase the number of outside players allowed per team from 3 to 5. Those voting in
favor included Ted Billy, Deborah Johnson, Lee Markell, Dan Mooradian,Kevin Knight, and Erin lpsen-
Borgersen. Jack Johnson opposed the motion. The motion was carried.
ST. THOMAS BECKET CHURCH - TRAILS DEDICATION REVIEW
Director Vraa introduced this item as a request fortrails dedication credit by St. Thomas Becket church.
At the time of the 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 that the plat be subject
to a cash trails dedication. The church is now requesting credit be applied to the trails dedication amount for
on-site trail development. Mr. Vraa continued that in a meeting with St. Thomas Beckett ADVISORY PARKS,
RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
Minutes of December 3, 1992 Meeting
Page 5
representatives regarding the reduction in trail dedication fees it was noted that an outlot will be created on
property east of Highway 3 and by definition outlots are not subject to a trail dedication at this time. Based
on the change in the area, Mr. Vraa estimated that the actual area being used for the church proper is
approximately 17 acres with a trails dedication amount of approximately $14,500.
Director Vraa continued that the church is requesting trails dedication based on their perception that
although the internal trails they are proposing to build are not part of the city's comprehensive trails plan, they
do provide an amenity to the city and could eventually connect to the city's trail system. The trail being
proposed is approximately 1400 feet long, five feet wide and internal to the site. As a point of reference, Mr.
Vraa noted that staff usually estimates trails construction cost at $12.00-$13.00 per lineal foot for 8 foot wide
trails. Mr. Vraa concluded that historically the Advisory Commission has not wavered from its trails dedication
requirements.
Mr. Craig Rafferty, representative for St. Thomas Becket Church, addressed the Commission noting that
Mr. Vraa had covered the background very well and reiterated their desire for trails dedication credit for the
internal trails that will be provided on this site. As a point of clarification Lee Markell asked if the trail width
is 5 feet or 8 feet. Mr. Rafferty responded that his understanding was that the width was 5 feet, however they
are open to installing an 8 foot wide trail. He continued that at one point the trail will connect with a five foot
sidewalk which would require the narrowing of the 8 foot trail into the 5 foot sidewalk.
Commission Member Markell, noting that he is a member of St.Thomas Becket Church and has been
serving on the committee for the site development of the church, indicated he would abstain from voting on
this issue.
Steve Sullivan indicated that staff has reviewed the proposed trail trying to determine whether it can
be tied into existing trails and what community benefit would be derived from it's installation. Ted Billy noted
that it appears that the trail dead ends on both the east and the west and asked if the trail could tie into
Lakeside Park on the west. Mr. Sullivan responded that the comprehensive trail plan does not cover a trail from
Lakeside Park to the east through this property.
Mr. Rafferty explained that the residents to the north would benefit by this trail by having a safer access
to Lakeside Park and also cited the potential for residential development to the south of the site which could
also tie into Lakeside Park through the church property. Lee Markell reiterated that the trail would provide
good access to Lakeside Park to those residents off Tofte Lane but suggested that the trail be 8 feet wide. Mr.
Rafferty continued that the church's request is to use the proposed trail dedication fee to provide for the
proposed internal trails on this site, again citing the access to Lakeside Park as the rationale for providing such
a credit.
Jack Johnson asked if the proponent was requesting help with construction of the trail to which Mr.
Rafferty responded no. Mr. Rafferty again reiterated that the church felt the cost of the internal trails they are
proposing would be approximately the cost of the trail dedication fee requested. Mr. Johnson noted that park
dedication credit has been provided in the past when the developer proposed an amenity that would benefit
the community and expressed his support for some type of credit.
Deborah Johnson asked how the Commission has determined the value of a credit in the past. Mr.
Vraa responded that in the past parks dedication credit up to 25% has been issued based on the benefit the
amenity would provide to the community. Mr. Vraa continued that the trails dedication policy does not
currently provide for credits, however the Commission may make that determination if they deem it
appropriate. As a point of clarification Mr. Vraa explained that in the past the types of credits that have been
issued have been within single/multiple family residential areas and have included items such as tennis courts
which would help alleviate the demand on existing park amenities.

. Lee Markell added that the trail from Tofte Lane to Atlantic Hills Drive is a valuable link for those
residents from the north to Lakeside Park and should be considered as such in the Commission's decision.
Deborah Johnson expressed her concern as to whether the Commission was looking at the big picture on this
issue. Ted Billy asked if a trail was going, to be constructed by the City, would this be the location for a trail
link to tie in the existing trail system. As a point of clarification, Steve Sullivan indicated that the trails
dedication policy looked at the undeveloped land remaining in the city, the need for transporting residents in
the safest and most efficient manner via a trail system and then calculated how much it would cost to complete
that system. The total cost is then divided by the zoning designation of the undeveloped land to cover those
costs. Based on the comprehensive trails system, Steve noted that this proposed trail would not be a priority
at the present time.
Erin Ipsen added that the dollars set aside for trails dedication were to provide transportation and to
tie into an existing trails system. Jack Johnson commented that this proposed trail could also provide access
to the scenic areas on the southern portion of the site. He felt that access to the lake area would provide an
amenity to the city. When asked what the actual trails dedication was for this site, Mr.Vraa responded that
it was approximately $14,500.
Dan Mooradian indicated he was in general agreement with Mr. Johnson's opinion for providing some
type of credit but was unsure as to what that amount should be. Ted Billy noted that it appeared that the major
purpose for the north/south internal trail was to tie the parking lots to the building. Mr. Rafferty explained that
the extended trail is also serving as a convenience to pedestrians in the neighborhood. Lee Markel) added-that
the City Planning Department wanted vehicular access to Tofte Lane which resulted in the trail link from Tofte
Lane to Atlantic Hills Drive. Mr. Billy expressed his concern that a trails dedication credit was being requested
for a trail constructed on private property. Mr. Rafferty indicated that the trails were intended to serve the
neighborhood, north of St. Thomas Beckett church. He continued that there is an expense to provide this trail
connection and the church is looking to offset the trails dedication fees.
Dan Mooradian, recognizing the validity of the loop connecting the northern neighborhood to Lakeside
Park asked if a portion of the trail could be separated, i.e. could the Commission provide a credit for the north
loop but not for the balance of the trail. Mr. Rafferty indicated that access to the lakeshore on the southern
portion of the property was seen as a valuable asset as well and the potential that exists to tie the proposed
residential area to the south through St. Thomas Beckett's internal trails. Dan Mooradian reiterated the
importance of connecting the northern neighborhood but questioned the importance of the southern trail link.
Lee Markell commented that the view of the lake from the knoll is the best view and felt this would be an
important amenity to people using the trail.
Mr. Billy again reiterated his concern for having a trail on private property noting that access could
be denied at any time therefore making the trail unusable except to the property owners. Deborah Johnson
also expressed her concern for the liability of a city trail link on private property.
Ted Billy moved to deny the request for trails dedication credit. There was no second to the motion
and the motion died.
Jack Johnson moved that recognizing the value of the trail as an amenity to the park system plan that
a trails dedication credit of 80% of the approximate $14,500 trails dedication fee be provided based on a 1400
foot, 8 foot wide trait. There was no second to the motion and the motion died.
Ken Vraa suggested that if the Commission was inclined to offer a trails dedication credit that they
consider simply obtaining an easement from St. Thomas Becket, have the city construct the trail and not issue
any credit at all. Mr. Markell indicated that the church would not be open to providing an easement for that
purpose.
ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
Minutes of December 3, 1992 Meeting

Erin Ipsen-Borgersen moved that a 50% credit of the trails dedication fees be considered based on an
8 foot bituminous trail that connects the neighborhood to the north side of said property beginning on Tofte
Lane and the west side of the property ending on Atlantic Hills Drive. Dan Mooradian seconded the motion.
Kevin Knight amended the motion to state that the trails dedication credit be limited to the actual construction
cost of the 8 foot bituminous trail based on $12/foot. Kevin Knight amended the motion to state that the actual
per foot cost of trails construction is to be determined by the contractor. Erin Ipsen-Borgersen accepted the
amendments to her motion. Those voting in favor were Deborah Johnson, Dan Mooradian, Kevin Knight, Jack
Johnson and Erin Ipsen. Ted Billy was opposed and Lee Markell abstained.
PARKS UPDATE
Parks Planner Sullivan explained that because of the weather the curb and gutter was not completed
this year. He added that the muck excavation for pond BP-2 would begin following the draining of that pond.
Steve continued that approximately 47% of the contract has been completed to date and Pay Request #2 for
.$127,000 will be submitted to the City Council for payment.
Steve continued that 4 park concepts are being worked on for PSA 36E as well as acquisition
possibilities. Additionally, concept layout plans are being worked on for the Lexington/Diffley site.
PROPOSED RULES OVERVIEW/WETLANDS CONSERVATION ACT
Water Resources Coordinator Rich Brasch noted that the Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources
published the proposed permanent rules for the 1991 Wetlands Conservation Act on October 19, 1992. The
comment period of the proposed rules will extend through December 22 and the rules may or may not be
revised based on public comment but will become effective no later than July 1, 1993.
Rich noted that all 6 issues listed in the briefing document reflect the common ground of the local
government units and developers/land users that presented the information. He continued that the sequencing
requirements apply to all wetlands and this, combined with other requirements, may require a great deal of
monitoring. Rich noted that the objection process allows for anyone to object for any reason and there is
concern that this will slow down the process. The groups providing input into this process are suggesting that
guidelines be placed on the objections. Rich continued that the preliminary rules are reflective of a 44 member
group.
STATUS OF WETLAND MAPPING/CLASSIFICATION
Mr. Brasch reminded the Commission that the purpose of the wetland inventory was to help the efforts
in administering the Wetlands Conservation Act as well as examine whether to pursue additional wetlands
management and protection initiatives. Rich continued that RFPs were sent out to seven firms with six firms
responding. Frank Svoboda and Associates was selected to conduct the work. It was noted that Mr. Svoboda
has done similar work for the City of Chanhassen and several other local units of government.
A joint project is being pursued between the City of Eagan and Dakota County to develop a geographic
information system for Eagan which would include information on the location of wetlands in the city. The
role of the consultant includes identifying type of wetlands using both classification systems, identifying the
degree of degradation and restorable wetlands in priority areas and possibly locating stormwater ponds that may
have assumed wetland characteristics. It. is anticipated that the work will be completed by March 30, 1993.

RE-CLASSIFICATION OF POND LP-47
Mr. Brasch reminded the Commission that in August, 1992 they reviewed water quality and wetlands
impact issues associated with the St. Thomas Becket church development. Staff recommended that an existing
pond in the southeast corner of the site be enlarged to receive and treat stormwater runoff from the site to
provide maximum protection to Hay Lake. Discharge to LP-47 was considered desirable by staff to further
remove pollutants before the waster was introduced to Hay Lake which was consistent with the water quality
plan classification of LP-47 as a nutrient basin. In order to make possible gravity drainage from LP-47 to Hay
Lake, the normal water level in both ponds needs to be raised. In addition, creation of a two-cell pond as part
of the St. Thomas Becket church development would decrease pollutant loading to Hay Lake to near acceptable
levels.
Rich continued that if the Commission would like to consider this proposal, staff would 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.
DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS
Some of the items covered by Superintendent of Recreation Peterson included the first meeting of the
Eagan Seniors at Eagan Woods; distribution of the winter "Discover Us!" is scheduled for December 9th with
registration to be held on December 12th,; a meeting between Parks and Recreation and Eagan Hockey will
occur regarding expectations of services; the outdoor speaker system.has been installed at Clearwater Park;
interviews are nearing completion for Winter Recreation Leaders; the North Pole calling program is scheduled
for December 9 and 10; maintenance equipment to winter operations has been completed; and winter skating
facilities were inspected and repaired in preparation for the winter activities.
COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING
.Superintendent of Recreation Peterson introduced this item indicating that staff has been attending COP
meetings for several months. The purpose of the committee meetings has been to foster an understanding of
the concept of community oriented policing (COP) and to identify how best to implement the philosophy in
the City of Eagan. Dorothy continued that police sergeants have been assigned to each beat and are currently
forming advisory groups for that beat area. It was noted that Parks and Recreation's role in Community
Oriented Policing is only generally defined at this time. In addition to administrative issues such as who
requests programs,from whom and how, other basic issues identified include what can Parks and Recreation
actually do; what is the relationship between Parks and Recreation and Community Oriented Policing and are
there specific examples of what Parks and Recreation can do.
Dorothy explained that one of the major concerns was based on budget since no dollars have been
earmarked for COP at this point. Dorothy continued that Brooklyn Park started this program with a grant and
this is an option the City may want to consider as well. There has also been some concern expressed that this
could result in new programming options which would require special staffing needs.
Jack Johnson concurred with the concern expressed regarding funding possible new programs. He
agreed that it would be a good program if there was a way in which to offset some of the costs involved. Kevin
Knight also agreed with concern forfunding but hoped that the department would remain active and participate
in this program.

FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
DATE: DECEMBER 30, 1992
SUBJECT: WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR ENGSTROM'S DEERWOOD
SECOND ADDITION - ROBERT ENGSTROM COMPANIES
(CONSENT AGENDA ITEM)
PROPOSAL
This preliminary plat application is for a four-lot single family residential subdivision on
approximately 2.7 acres located along the south side of Deerwood Drive in the southeast
1/4 of Section 21 (Figure 1). A planned development amendment changing the land use
from R-3 (Townhouse) to R-1 (Single Family) within the Engstrom's Deerwood planned
development will also be necessary.
FOR COMMISSION REVIEW
The Commission will need to review and make a recommendation regarding whether the
development should be subject to a ponding requirement and/or a cash dedication
requirement to meet water quality standards as set by the city in it's water quality
management plan. There are no wetland impact issues associated with this proposed
development.
WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS
This proposed development lies in drainage basin B (Figure 2). Storm water runoff from
the site will discharge to a detention basin on Deerwood School grounds, then to storm
water pond BP-29, and finally to Blackhawk Lake.
The developer contends that during construction of the 37-acre Deerwood 1st Addition, the
wet pond volume of pond JP-37 was increased by approximately 4,500 cubic yards through
excavation performed at the developer's expense, and that this wet pond volume expansion
should be sufficient to meet water quality obligations for the 1st and 2nd Addition. To
determine whether the developer's contention was true, city staff conducted a drainage basin
and water quality analysis.
1
Pond JP-37 has a total drainage area of 34 acres, 13.2 acres of which fall within the
Deerwood 1st Addition, with the remainder composed of street right-of-way, commercial
land uses, and open/undeveloped property lying outside the Deerwood 1st Addition along
Pilot Knob Road. Water quality analysis showed that even if the developer was given credit
for the entire stored volume of pond JP-37 (the excavated volume plus the volume
associated with the prior existing wetland), and accounting for the off-site drainage that is
treated by the pond, the present pond volume is insufficient to meet treatment requirements
for Engstrom's Deerwood development complex. The analysis shows that treatment of
runoff from off-site areas as well as the 13 acres of the Deerwood 1st Addition draining to
pond JP-37 is not sufficient to compensate for runoff from other portions of the Deerwood
subdivision which drain away from this pond and leave the parcel untreated.
Unless the developer can produce written or equivalent documentation that the city
recognized excavation of pond JP-37 as meeting the water quality treatment requirements
for the entire Deerwood development, staff recommends that the development be subject
to a cash water quality dedication because the 2nd Addition site is too small to
accommodate on-site ponding.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the development be subject to a cash water quality dedication in lieu
of on-site ponding. The amount of the cash dedication is estimated at $1,940.

NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
DATE: DECEMBER 28, 1992
SUBJECT: WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR FOUR OAKS ESTATES -
ROSEWOOD CORPORATION (CONSENT AGENDA ITEM)
PROPOSAL
This preliminary plat application is for a development consisting of four single family lots
located along the north side of Four Oaks Road in the northwest 1/4 of Section 9 (Figure
1). The area of the development is 8.8 acres and the current zoning is R-3 (Townhouse).
Thus, a rezoning from R-3 (Townhouse) to E (Estates) will also be necessary.
FOR COMMISSION REVIEW
The Commission will need to review and make a recommendation regarding whether the
development should be subject to a ponding requirement and/or a cash dedication
requirement to meet water quality standards as set by the city in it's water quality
management plan. There are no wetland's issues associated with this development.
WATER DUALITY ANALYSIS
The proposed development is located in drainage basin C in the northwestern portion of the
City of Eagan. Runoff from the development will discharge to pond CP-9, a 45-foot deep
flooded abandoned gravel pit classified as a nutrient trap in the water quality management
plan. In spite of its classification as a nutrient pond, this pond supports moderately heavy
fishing pressure and other recreational uses.
Changes in runoff characteristics of this site are expected to be relatively moderate after
development because of the low density of housing units (2.2 acres per unit). Even though
the site itself is very hilly, there is some space for a small ponding area in the southwest
corner of the site. However, a cash dedication adjusted for the extremely low density of
development for this site is being recommended by staff because of the expected low impact
of changing land use on the site from open/undeveloped to use for Estates.
1
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that this development be subject to a cash dedication in lieu of ponding
to meet water quality treatment requirements. The cash dedication should be adjusted to
reflect the low level of development density on the site.

FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
DATE: DECEMBER 28, 1992
SUBJECT: WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS AND WETLAND PROTECTION
ISSUES FOR SIGNAL POINT ADDITION - SIGNAL BANK
(CONSENT AGENDA ITEM)
PROPOSAL
This proposed development involves a comprehensive guide plan amendment changing the
land use of approximately 8.1 acres from limited business to single family residential. The
preliminary plat application for the proposed development consists of 14 lots located along
the west side of Knob Drive in the southeast 1/4 of Section 21 (Figure 1).
FOR COMMISSION REVIEW
The Commission will need to review and make a recommendation regarding whether the
development should be subject to a ponding requirement and/or a cash dedication
requirement to meet water quality standards as set by the city in its water quality
management plan. While there are no wetlands on the site, there are wetlands just off-site
that could potentially be impacted by the development.
WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS
This proposed development is located in drainage basin B. Runoff from the site will
discharge to Pond BP-27, a nutrient basin, before traveling through several more
nutrient/sediment basins. Eventually the runoff will discharge to Blackhawk Lake (Figure
2). Blackhawk Lake is the nearest downstream recreationally classified waterbody.
This site is relatively hilly and contains no suitable location for a water quality treatment
pond. In addition, two city funded capital projects to improve treatment of runoff
discharging to Blackhawk Lake are currently underway in this drainage. Because the site
is not suitable for constructing a pond, and because the capital improvements represent a
more cost effective means of protecting Blackhawk Lake, a cash dedication in lieu of on-site
ponding to meet water quality treatment requirements is being recommended for this
development.
1
WETLAND ISSUES
While no wetlands lie on the site, a Class 4 deep marsh of approximately 2.1 acres
designated as pond BP-27 lies just to the west of the proposed development. The eastern
edge of this wetland lies at the base of a hill on the development property. Since the
potential for construction erosion and inadvertent filling of the wetland exists, the
Commission may want to consider requiring that the eastern edge of this wetland be
delineated. Field staking of the wetland will make easier compliance with requirements to
avoid filling the wetland with eroded or other material associated with this proposed
development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the development be subject to a cash dedication to meet water
quality requirements. In addition, the eastern edge of the wetland associated with pond BP-
27 must be delineated and any filling or draining of this wetland through activities associated
with the proposed development is to be avoided.

SUBJECT: WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR
TOWN CENTRE 70 15TH ADDITION
PROPOSAL
This proposed development consists of approximately 16.5 acres with one lot and one outlot
for future development located along the east side of Town Centre Drive and the west side
of Denmark Avenue in the northwest 1/4 of Section 15 (Figure 1). Approximately 8 acres
will be used to house a retail commercial complex, while the remaining acreage will be set
aside as an outlot for future as yet unspecified commercial 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 and/or a cash dedication
requirement to meet water quality standards as set by the city in its water quality
management plan. There are no wetland filling or draining issues associated with this plat
application.
WATER DUALITY ANALYSIS
This development is located in drainage basin J and is part of a 29 acre parcel zoned for
commercial use. Approximately 13 acres are presently occupied by the Wal-Mart store.
The proposed storm sewer layout for this new development proposal would direct runoff to
pond JP-66.1, a nutrient basin designed to treat runoff from the Wal-Mart site before
discharge to another very small sediment basin, then Fish Lake. As noted in a May 1991
staff report for the Wal-Mart development, additional on-site ponding to protect water
quality in Fish Lake was required to meet water quality treatment standards when the
remainder of the 27 acre parcel developed, as is being proposed now.
Because of the large impervious surface associated with this proposed development and its
close proximity to Fish Lake, on-site ponding should be required. An analysis using the
city's water quality model shows that the most efficient way of meeting treatment
requirements to protect Fish Lake is to route all runoff from Lot 1 and Outlot A of the
proposed development to Pond JP-66.1 first for pre-treatment. Pond JP-66 on the northwest
~l,
corner of Duckwood and Denmark Avenues (Figure 2) would then be enlarged to provide
finishing treatment for the discharge from JP-66.1 on the Wal-Mart property as well as to
treat runoff from approximately 14.1 acres of roadway and commercial property that lies
south and west of Wal-Mart and that currently drains to Pond JP-66. Only by pre-treating
runoff from the proposed development and substantially improving treatment of runoff from
the off-site area can this development meet the requirement of preventing any further
deterioration of water quality in Fish Lake as a result of the development.
The city water quality model indicates that Pond JP-66 must have a minimum surface
acreage and wet pond volume at normal water level of .55 acres and 3.00 acre feet
respectively, in order to meet minimum treatment requirements to protect Fish Lake. In
addition, separation between pond inlets and the outlet needs to be at least 350 feet, and
a skimmer must be constructed on the outlet. As well, there are several additional design
features that should be included, so pond design should be approved by city staff prior to
construction.
WETLAND ISSUES
A majority of the site has been graded and a site reconnaissance has not revealed any
historical or existing wetlands with the exception of that associated with pond JP-66. Pond
JP-66 would be expanded by over threefold, so that while the character of the wetland
associated with this ponding area will change, the total size of the wetland area will increase
substantially. Thus, any need for additional mitigation under the interim program guidelines
of the wetlands conservation act will be unnecessary.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the proposed development be subject to an on-site ponding
requirement to meet water quality treatment standards to prevent any further deterioration
of water quality in Fish Lake. The design of the on-site treatment pond should be subject
to staff approval.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMISSION
FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS P R
DATE: DECEMBER 22, 1992
RE: WENZEL ADDITION
Application Request
A rezoning of 37.9 acres from A (Agricultural) to PD (Planned Development). The
preliminary platting of 126 lots for single family, quadrominiums and townhomes.
Background
The parcel is located south of Deerwood Middle/Elementary School and north of County
Road #30.
The Commission has reviewed this parcel as a component of a Park Service Area #21 study.
The proposal at the time was whether the City should acquire property for a school/park
with the improvement of the middle school. The school/park scenario was not pursued.
The Commission felt that the future land use of the 80 acre undeveloped property west of
the Wenzel property would determine the parkland needs for P.S.A. #21.
The Commission also reviewed a site plan at the September 3 meeting. The Commission
was informed that the developer was making significant changes to the site plan. These
changes had not been evaluated by staff prior to this meeting. It was agreed that the revised
site plan would be brought before the Commission at the October 1 meeting. The
Commission agreed with this amended schedule and made several recommendations for the
developer's consideration:
The revised site plan preserve the oak stand at the northwest edge of the
pond.
The revised site plan provide the required recreational open space.
The developer examine the potential of a trail encircling the pond.
The developer was unable to provide a revised site/grading plan for the October meeting.
Staff has recently received this plan and now finds it appropriate to bring this plat before
the Commission once again.
Items for Commission Review
The Commission will need to review and make recommendations regarding the following
items:
1. What is the Parks Dedication obligation?
2. What is the Trails Dedication obligation?
3. What is impact to the woodland resource?
4. What is the Recreation Open Space obligation?
Item #1 - Parks Dedication
As reference in the background, parkland needs within P.S.A. #21 will be evaluated with
the land use designation of the southwesterly 80 acre parcel. The future of P.S.A. #21 may
also be a prevalent item with the updating of the Comprehensive Parks Systems Plan.
The developer has similar multi-family developments in other communities. The
demographics of these developments represent primarily empty-nester and single adults.
Children resident populations are typically very small.
Staff recommends that the proposal be subject to a cash Parks Dedication.
Item #2 - Trails Dedication
An 8' bituminous trail exists adjacent to the parcel on the north side of County Road #30.
An assessment review concludes that the Wenzel property has not provided towards the cost
of this trail. Therefore, this plat is subject to a cash Trails Dedication.
Deerwood Elementary/Middle School lies to the north of the parcel. The proposal
indicates a 25' trail easement within the northeast corner of the plat. This easement
provides pedestrian linkage between the 2 adjacent parcels. Staff has reviewed this trail
alignment with School District personnel. The School District approves this alignment and
will provide a concrete sidewalk to the trail easement. The developer needs to coordinate
with the School District ensuring compatible grading, alignment and scheduling of work.
The developer shall be responsible in providing an 8' wide trail pad at finish grade. The
City of Eagan will be responsible for the installation of the concrete sidewalk.
The site also indicates 30' outlot between Lot 5, Block 3 and Lot 1, Block 4. The outlot
provides a central pedestrian corridor to Deerwood School. The concept of additional trails
to the elementary/middle school certainly warrants positive consideration but the existing
terrain in this case makes it difficult to effectively implement. The proposed alignment of
the outlot is oriented strategical at the tee intersection of the public roads. The road
elevation at the point of intersection is approximately 916. The proposed grades of the
pedestrian corridor begins at a 916 to a 926 at a 12.5% gradient. The top of the slope
occurs at a 930 at the northerly property line. The corridor outlets at the school property
tying into a 3:1 slope down to a 906 elevation at the school parking lot access road. These
steep slopes result in a non-feasible pedestrian corridor. Staff therefore recommends that
the developer delete the central pedestrian outlot from the plat. In order to provide greater
accessibility to the school from the westerly multi-family a future east/west pedestrian link
to the future extension of Thomas Lake Road may have merit.
The developer has chosen not to include a looped path around the pond.
Item #3 - Woodland Preservation
A majority of the site is in cash crops. A woodland mass encompasses Pond BP-4. The
vegetative type is primarily willow and boxelders. A majority of these woods are preserved
with development. The roadway south of the pond removes the largest area of woods.
Scattered mature oaks exist within an area west and northwest of the pond. Lots 4 - 8 of
Block 5 lies within this wooded area. The developer has agreed to a custom development
approach for these lots. Grading would occur on a lot specific basis. The intent is to
compatibly match the architecture and site layout maximizing the preservation of the
significant oak trees. Other tree masses include a group of boxelders along the north
property line and another boxelder clump in the southeast comer of the site. Both tree
masses are designated for preservation.
Item #4 - Recreation Open Space
Chapter 11 of the City Code provides for Recreation Open Space within all multiple family
developments. The code reads as follows:
12. Each multiple dwelling complex shall have a minimum recreation area equal
to two hundred (200) square feet for each dwelling unit containing two (2) or
less bedrooms and one hundred (100) additional square feet for each dwelling
unit containing more than two (2) bedrooms. Said recreation area shall be
a minimum of one hundred (100) feet from any ponding area.
Source: Ordinance No. 52
Effective Date: 4-25-75
The 95 units of multiple at 200 square feet equates to 19,000 square feet. The development
plan provides several large greenspace areas west of the north/south public road. These
areas with minor grade modification would meet the recreation open space requirement.
For Commission Action
The Commission may consider the following recommendations:
1. The plat be subject to a cash Parks Dedication.
2. The plat be subject to a cash Trails Dedication.
3. The developer grade an 8' wide trail pad to the Deerwood School property
within the easterly trailway easement. The developer coordinate the
alignment, grading and sequencing with the School District.
4. The developer delete the central pedestrian outlot from the plat.
5. The developer provide a tree protection plan for City review and approval
prior to final platting.
6. The developer utilize a custom development approach for lots 4 - 8 of Block
5 using a grading and site planning approach which is specific to preserving
the oak trees on each lot.
7. The development plan provide 19,000 square feet of recreational open space.
The grading plan be modified providing flatter grades within the open space
west of the proposed north/south road.

SUBJECT: WATER QUALITY AND WETLAND PROTECTION
REQUIREMENTS FOR WENZEL ADDITION/WENSMANN
REALTY
PROPOSAL
This preliminary plat application is for a mixed single family and multi-family residential
development consisting of 126 units on 40 acres and located along the north side of Diffley
Rd. in the southeast one .quarter of Section 21 (Figure 1). The land is now zoned for
agricultural uses, so a change in zoning to allow a mixture of residential uses has been
requested as well.
FOR COMMISSION REVIEW
The Commission will need to review and make a recommendation regarding whether the
development should be subject to a ponding requirement and/or a cash dedication
requirement to meet water quality standards as set by the City in its Water Quality
Management Plan. There is also a proposed wetland fill and replacement plan associated
with this plat.
WATER DUALITY ANALYSIS
This development lies in drainage basin B, a short distance up drainage from Blackhawk
Lake, a Class 1 water body designated to support direct contact recreation (Figure 2).
Runoff from the proposed development will eventually reach Blackhawk Lake and, if not
treated, would degrade its quality.
The site contains Pond BP-4, a 2.5 acre, 6.5 acre-foot waterbody designated as a Class 7,
storm water pond in the City's Water Quality Management Plan. The pond receives both
direct and indirect runoff from over 3,800 acres of the City. Just up drainage from this pond
and lying along the south side of Diffley Rd. is Heine Pond, an 8 acre lake designated as
Class 1 to support direct contact recreation. In 1979, an effort was made by the City to
reduce nutrient loading associated with storm water runoff to Heine Pond. Prior to this
time, all storm water carried down the main trunk line toward BP-4 was discharged to Heine
Pond. A structural change in the system was made so that runoff from small storm events
would completely bypass Heine. Larger runoff events which exceeded the capacity of the
system in this reach would overtop a weir that would allow some of the discharge to enter
Heine temporarily.
1~~
Unfortunately, the storm trunk line between Heine Pond and BP-4 is very flat. When the
outlet for BP-4 was` constructed in 1979, it was installed at an elevation that caused water
to back up far into the relatively flat inlet pipe between BP-4 and Heine. The result has
been that the structure designed to bypass most of the storm water runoff in the trunk line
around Heine has been rendered ineffective. Consequently, the high normal water level in
Pond BP-4 is contributing to excessive nutrient loading and water quality degradation in
Heine Pond.
The City's engineering consultant and City staff have evaluated several options for resolving
this threat to water quality in Heine Pond. (A report outlining these options and proposed
recommendations is being prepared by the City's consultant.) The best option appears to
maintain the current normal water elevation in Pond BP-4, but extend the height of the weir
at the outlet of Heine Pond from its current elevation of 874.47 feet MSL (about .3 feet
above the normal water elevation of Pond BP-4) to an approximate elevation of 884 feet
MSL, about four feet above the top of the current manhole casting. In addition, a one-way
flap valve would be installed to maintain a normal water elevation of 874.5 in Heine Pond
and allow outflow from, but not inflow to, Heine Pond. The estimated cost for the project
is estimated roughly at $8,000 and would be carried out by the City as a public improvement
project financed by the developer water quality dedications. These improvements would
assure that virtually no by-passing of stormwater in the main trunk to Heine Pond would
occur during even large storms.
In addition to protecting Heine Pond, this development also provides the opportunity to
improve the removal efficiency of Pond BP-4 to reduce pollutant loading to Blackhawk
Lake. Currently, the pond averages 2.6 feet in depth and has a maximum depth of 3.9 feet.
The pond receives drainage from 3,834 acres of the City - almost 90% of the area draining
to Blackhawk Lake from this branch of the storm sewer system. Because of its size and
location in the drainage system, modification of Pond BP-4 represents a good opportunity
to reduce nutrient loading to Blackhawk Lake.
Because the proposed Wenzel Addition development will also discharge storm water that
could adversely affect another Class 1 water body down drainage (Blackhawk Lake),
ponding to treat this runoff should be required before discharge off-site. Analysis using the
City's water quality model indicates that a nutrient detention pond conforming to NURP
standards would need a total volume of 2.4 acre-feet to meet treatment standards for this
development. This additional volume should be provided by excavation in Pond BP-4 and
completed by the developer, subject to approval of City staff.
In addition to the sediment removal by the developer to provide 2.4 acre-feet of additional
wet pond volume in the southern area of the pond, City staff have investigated the water
quality benefits of additional excavation and reconfiguration work in the northern area of
the pond. Quantities to be excavated in the northern portion of the pond are estimated at
a maximum of 4,200 cubic yards. The remaining sediment forming the pond bottom would
be re-shaped to create a multi-cell pond, with each cell separated by a subsurface berm. If
these modifications are made, the City's water quality model indicates phosphorus loadings
to Blackhawk Lake will decrease by about 80 lbs./year or 8% of total loading. The City's
2
consulting engineer is working on an estimate of the cost to do this work. The estimate
should be available for the January meeting. Again, the developer water quality dedication
fund will be used to finance this work. Figure 3 shows a draft plan for Pond BP-4 after
excavation and shaping.
WETLANDS IMPACTS
The developer has completed a preliminary inventory and impact analysis for wetlands
located on the Wenzel Addition site. The analysis is summarized below.
Inven
Based on this preliminary information, the site contains three wetlands which encompass a
total of about 4.72 acres (Figure 4). The largest of these is a Type 5 open water wetland
with a Type 1 bottom-land wooded fringe consisting largely of eastern cottonwood, black
willow, box elder, green ash, and American elm. This wetland is associated with Pond BP-4
and is approximately 4.45 acres in surface area. The wetland exists in a significantly
degraded condition, due primarily to livestock grazing and widely fluctuating water levels
associated with storm sewer discharge that increase the water levels in the pond by over 12
feet to accommodate runoff from large storm events.
The second wetland is a .02 acre Type 2 wet meadow located near the northeastern edge
of the first wetland. Finally, the third wetland is located in the north central portion of the
site, northwest of the Deerwood Elementary parking lot. This basin encompasses
approximately .25 acres of Type 1 bottom-land forest dominated by eastern cottonwood and
box elder.
Impacts
There is some wetland encroachment associated with the proposed plan to develop the site.
The primary area of wetland encroachment is along the south end of BP-4 and is associated
with the access to Diffley Road. The location of this access road is dictated by Dakota
County because of traffic and safety concerns. The only other potentially acceptable site for
a road entrance to the development is located in the northeast portion of the site, but has
been rejected by the Eagan Advisory Planning Commission. The current estimate of
wetland filling associated with construction of the road is .22 acres. Because alternative
access sites do not exist, the developer maintains that the impact is unavoidable.
An additional .03 acres of wetland encroachment is anticipated in the north central wetland
basin. Encroachment on this basin was reduced from a previous estimate of .09 acres by
adjusting the alignment of the road responsible for the encroachment.
.3
Replacement Proposal for Developer
Based on these estimates, the total anticipated wetland fill proposed by the developer is .25
acres. The developer proposes to use the existing low area at the northeastern limits of
Pond BP-4 to expand the wetland area by excavation. Figure 5 provides a draft grading plan
that indicates .25 acres of type 2/3 wet meadow/shall marsh could be created in this area.
This proposal, when implemented, would meet the 1:1 replacement requirements for the
Wetlands Conservation Act (WCA). The wetland creation area would be designed to mimic
natural wetland conditions. Half the wetland perimeter will have gradual 10:1 slopes within
two feet above the wetland edge. Contours will be curved to provide a natural wetland
shape. Newly graded areas will be furnished and smoothed with black soils excavated from
the bottom of the existing wetland basin. Disturbed surface soils within the wetland
compensation area will be seeded to a mixture of native grasses and wild flowers to provide
visual and wildlife habitat value.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the development meet its water quality obligation by creating through
excavation an additional 2.4 acre-feet of storage in the southern end of Pond BP-4. The
excavation plan must be approved by City staff. Staff also recommends that the developer
work with the City to excavate and re-shape the remainder of the pond. Finally, staff
recommends approval of the proposed wetland replacement plan, contingent on submission
of a final wetlands impact and mitigation report and compliance with the requirements of
the Wetland Conservation Act.

Dear Mr. Hemmerlin:
I received your letter of December 7, requesting a pleasure rink near Woodland Elementary
School. It is my intent to pass your letter on to the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission for their reviewal. It is my impression that the Advisory Commission
will not act on this request but will take it under advisement, pending the updating of the
Park System's Plan. The Commission and City Council recently undertook this intensive
study process in an attempt to answer many of the requests that are received, such as yours,
for additional services that currently go outside the scope of the Park System Plan.
In the short term I hope that your neighborhood would be able to enjoy the skating facilities
at Bridle Ridge Park off the intersection of Elrene Road and Northview Park Road.
Again thank you for your letter, your interest in the park system and the needs of your
community.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JANUARY 4, 1993
RE: LEXINGTON/DIFFLEY; REQUEST FOR GOLF DRIVING RANGE
Issue
The issue before the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission is a
request for use of the Lexington/Diffley parkland parcel for a golf driving range for a period
in excess of three years.
Background
In October of 1992, the APRNRC received a request from Mr. Mike King, owner and
operator of the Tee Time Golf Range, that the City consider the use of a portion of the
Lexington/Diffley site for a golf driving range. Because of the impending development of
the property that his driving range is currently using, it was the desire of Mr. King to
relocate his golf driving range adjacent to the water reservoir.
The new proposal that the Commission will be reviewing is from a Mr. Rick Kuchera and
Ryan Helgeson who are making a similar use proposal to the APRNRC. That proposal is
attached.
Proposal Reviewal
This proposal suggests a lease agreement which extends through October of 1996 at a
minimum. The lease agreement would provide for a minimum payment in each of the years
of operation or a percentage of revenues after sales tax from driving range sales. The City
is asked to provide a water supply line, electrical hook-ups and the land necessary to support
a parking lot and the driving range. The lessee would be responsible for development of
the driving range, turf establishment and maintenance, operation of the golf driving range
and those tasks directly associated with its operation and maintenance. The tee box area
is to be lighted, allowing use of the driving range into the evening hours. The range is
expected to be operated from 7:00 a.m. to approximately 10:00 p.m. A 4 - 6 foot high fence
is expected to be erected along the perimeter of the driving range.
General Layout
The proposal reviews the technical description with construction and layout of the golf
driving range. The range would be approximately 280 yards long with a tee area which
measures approximately 100 by 25 yards. The construction area could fit onto the
Lexington/Diffley site leaving the remainder of the property for first phase development of
softball fields.
Discussion
As the Commission is well aware, the Lexington/Diffley parcel has been owned by the City
for nearly four years. During that time the property has been leased for farming purposes
in an effort to generate some revenues but more importantly to defer extensive weed
growth. Staff is currently developing concept plans for athletic field development in hopes
of trying to take advantage of the possibility of the need for common borrow from the site
for County Road #30 construction. In exchange for the common borrow, it is envisioned
that at least a portion of the site might be graded and ready for athletic field use.
This proposal is different from Mr. King's in that they are suggesting a specified lease
amount and have left open-ended, beyond 1996, the extension of a lease agreement.
The Commission, however, is still faced with the issue of making a determination of when
the remainder of the site needs to be developed. Unfortunately, timing of the update of the
Park Systems Plan is such that the information and research that document would have
provided for the Advisory Commission makes the decision process all the more difficult.
With that information, understanding of the time for the need for additional athletic
facilities beyond the proposed softball fields would be better understood by the Commission.
The proposed public/private partnership in the development of this driving range does
provide some additional benefits other than just revenues to the park system. There would
be opportunities for the residents of the community to have available to them a recreational
opportunity not now available within the community. Second, benefits would accrue to the
high school golf team as well as providing opportunities for public group lessons.
For Advisory Commission Reviewal
Staff is again seeking consensus of direction from the Advisory Commission on whether we
should continue to pursue and further detail plans and a potential agreement for the
purposes of a golf driving range. Or, if the Commission is of the opinion that athletic field
development of the entire site is eminent and would exclude the provisions of a golf driving
range, then this should be so indicated.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:
Beginning in April 1993 the grading and seeding of the project would
begin. Rapid, successful turf grass establishment is imperative to
development of a quality golf facility as proposed for the
Lexington/Diffley site. To ensure a quality facility the six step
procedure outline below would be followed.
1) Control of persistent weeds
The application of Round-up a nonselective herbicide to control all plant
material now on site. This control procedure will eliminate competition
for nutrients and allow seeded areas to thrive. Round-up is a unique
chemical in that it breaks down completely in the soil and poses no
environmental threat.
2) Rough grading
Soil preperation and grading will transform the site into its final
state, a teeing area (100 yds x 25 yds) on the northern end of the
facility, with the remaining landing area (275 yds x 170 yds) leveled and
smoothed to allow for removal of rocks and debris. See detail maps #1,
#2.
3) Surface drainage and irrigation install
Included in rough grading is the implementation of the surface drainage
plan (see detail map #3), to ensure water run off and playability in all
weather conditions. Following the surface drainage grading, tee areas
will be irrigated and landing area supplied with water system.
4) Final soil preparation
The ideal seed bed is moist, granular, firm soil, free of clods, stones
and other debris. The final soil preparation will include, soil
modification if required (i.e., liming), to adjust soil P.H., application
of fertilizer, 20-10-20 to speed root development, and a final grade.
5) Seeding and sodding
The entire site will be seeded or sodded as shown in detail map #4. A
blend of Kentucky Blue grass and Rye grass will be used in the landing
area. The athletic pro mix will be sown at a rate of 2.25 lbs per 1000
sq ft. The tee area will be sown with Manhattan II Rye grass for the
finest hitting surface available. This area will be sown at 2.00 lbs per
1000 sq ft. The tee banks will be sodded to gaurd against erosion.
6) On-going maintenance
An on-going maintenance schedule will be established. This schedule will
include fertilization, overseeding, top dressing, aeration and
irrigation. An emphasis will be placed on good cultural practices vs
chemical usage.

MR. ALLAN KLEIN
OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS
SUITE 1700
100 WASHINGTON SQUARE
MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55401-2138
Dear Mr. Klein:
On behalf of both the City of Eagan and the Gun Club Lake Watershed
Management Organization (WMO), I am submitting the following
comments on the proposed permanent rules to implement the Wetland
Conservation Act (WCA) of 1991. At the outset, I want to emphasize
that both these organizations have demonstrated a strong commitment
to protect their water resources and that each supports the concept
of no net loss of wetland functions and a strong role for local
government in administering the program. In addition, we feel it
is important to recognize the immense ::mount of work that the Board
of Water and Soil Resources staff as :ell as members of the Rules
Committee have devoted to this very difficult task.
Having said this, we feel that there are a number of areas that
require change to promote a more reasonable approach to
administering the program and still meet. the legislative intent of
the Wetlands Conservation Act. Our concerns and suggested changes
are outlined below.
1. Role of the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP). The proposed
rule 8420.0240 requires that the TEP be used for review and
evaluation of each and every replacement plan that is
presented to the local government unit (LGU). Both the WMO
and the City of Eagan strongly support a change in this
requirement that allows LGU's the discretion to determine when
to involve the TEP in determinations of wetland values,
location, size, type, or other issues. It has been our
experience that while the TEP is a valuable resource, the
majority of wetland replacement issues can be addressed in a
technically sound manner without going through the time and
expense of convening the panel.

Our second comment on this issue has to do more with the
statute than the rules. The statute specifies that the LGU's
representative on the TEP must be an engineer. This
requirement should be broadened to allow representation by an
engineer or other technically competent staff such as a water
resources manager, limnologist, etc. The rationale for this
comment is that in an increasing number of LGU's the lead
water resources management official is not the City engineer,
but rather a water resources coordinator, program manager, or
other specialist.
2. Failure of the rules to provide'any incentive for development
and implementation of integrated wetland management plans by
local governments. Local government wetland plans are not
mentioned specifically in the statute. As the rule now reads,
the only mention of a local comprehensive wetland management
plan is in rule section 8420.0240. This section states that
if the LGU has such a plan and the plan has been approved by
the TEP, the LGU can make technical replacement plan
determinations without convening the TEP. While this section
begins to recognize the potential benefit of such a plan, it
does not go nearly far enough toward providing the incentive
to develop and administer a sound plan, given the attendant
benefits that could accrue in managing local wetland and other
water resources. These benefits have to do with meshing the
leverage provided in the WCA with other local initiatives,
regulations, and resources to provide added protection to
priority wetland and water resources.
We urge the Board to develop a section within the permanent
program rules that provides the greatest possible incentive to
local governments to develop and administer their own local
wetland management plans. That section could require, for
example, that the local plan contain an inventory and
classification of wetland resources and identify the different
management standards that would be applied to each group. The
plan would be subject to review by a state oversight agency,
and would be approved if it met certain reasonable standards
consistent with the statute. Once the plan was approved, the
local government unit would then be free to administer its own
locally-initiated, locally-supported program according to the
approved plan. Local governments who elect not to develop
their own program would be subject by default to a set of
over-all state program requirements. This approach has worked
well for many communities in the arena of water quality
management and is needed here to promote comprehensive wetland
management by communities that have the willingness and
capability to pursue such an approach.
3. Onerous permit application and sequencing requirements. Rule
8420.0520 and 8420.0530 require the parties seeking to fill or
drain any part of a wetland to assemble an extensive
2
application composed of the following:
1. An extensive alternatives analysis which includes a
description of at least two alternative sites or
project configurations to avoid the action and
evidence that the alternatives have been pursued
and are not feasible or prudent.
2. A replacement plan that involves a complete
ecological and engineering assessment of both the
impacted and replacement sites
3. A five-year monitoring plan for the replacement
wetland, to include monthly water level
measurements.
These requirements apply to all wetlands areas that could be
filled or drained, no matter how small or what the function or
value of the wetland is. The cost to comply with these
requirements will severely impact the LGU's, agencies charged
with constructing public improvements, private developers, and
individual landowners who find minor filling or draining
unavoidable.
Both the WMO and the City support the adoption of a threshold,
designating minor wetland impacts that would be exempted from
the sequencing analysis and some of the expensive engineering
requirements. We propose that this threshold be set so that
it is consistent with the regional conditions recently agreed
to between the Corps of Engineers and the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency. These conditions generally view filling of
less than .5 acres in isolated or headwater wetlands as
largely exempt from a rigorous sequencing analysis as well as
substantial mitigation. Since the exemption from mitigation
is not consistent with the intent of the Wetland Conservation
Act, however, we suggest that this revision of the rule
require any filling or draining of wetland areas under the .5
acre threshold to be replaced at the ratio called for in the
statute. Such a clause would not only provide a substantial
incentive to keep wetland filling and draining actions to less
than the .5 acre threshold, but would also provide some
consistency with at least one other wetland permitting process
while still up-holding the no-net-loss mandate of the statute.
4. Inadequate consideration given to stormwater detention basins.
The proposed rule 8420.0540 Subpart 10 allows stormwater ponds
to be used for replacement credit only if they are designed as
two-cell systems. In this case, only the second cell can be
used as credit, provided that both stages meet certain.
hydraulic standards. The Statement of Need and Reasonableness
(SONAR) does not justify this wetland valuation or hydraulic
3
criteria from a scientific basis. It states that stormwater
ponds "do not provide a full range of wetland benefits . . .
even though they may be called wetlands." This is true of
virtually all natural wetlands as well. Stormwater ponds, if
properly designed, often provide greater flood control and
water quality benefits than wetlands of similar acreage,
though wildlife habitat benefits of natural wetlands are often
substantially greater. Never-the-less, the substantial water
quality and flood control benefits of stormwater ponds should
not be discounted, particularly in urban areas. where some
wetland areas must be managed to maximize their treatment
functions in order to protect other water resources with
substantially higher public values (including wildlife
habitat).
We support modification of the rules to allow stormwater ponds
to be used for replacement credit when consistent with the
local wetland management plan or when there is a compelling
argument to enhance a specific functional value of a wetland
to protect other wetland resources with higher public value.
It is essential to local comprehensive water resources
management efforts in urban areas that the rules be modified
to recognize the wetland functions and values provided by
properly designed stormwater ponds.
5. Restrictive nature of the wetland banking provisions. The
proposed rule 8420.0740 allows only restored wetlands, not
created wetlands, to be banked. This makes use of the banking
system by urban LGUs extremely difficult, since filled or
drained wetlands are often occupied by buildings or other
public or private improvements and are no longer restorable.
Wetland creation is often the only alternative for mitigation.
With proper monitoring to insure replacement wetland success,
there appears to be no reason for not allowing credit for
created wetlands if the wetland is certified by the LGU.
The proposed rules also provide only for a state-run wetland
bank. There is no expressed authority provided for the LGUs
to establish their own bank. To rectify this, we support
clarifying language in the rules to allow establishment of a
local wetland banking system.
While these comments and 'suggestions cover the major subject areas
with which our organizations are concerned, there are several other
more technical items on which we also have comments. Comments
being forwarded to you from the Urban Wetlands Management
Coalition, in which both the Gun Club Lake WMO and the City of
Eagan share membership, adequately cover these issues.
Finally, we would like to underline our interest in seeing changes
made in the proposed permanent program rules that both meet
legislative intent for wetlands protection and provide a
4
reasonable, equitable, and efficient administrative approach for
LGUs and regulated parties alike. The current proposed rules
simply do not meet this test. As such, we support an extension of
the interim program of the Wetlands Conservation Act until at least
December 31, 1993 in order to allow adequate time to make changes
in the rules that will assure the success of the program.
Thank you for the opportunity to present these comments.

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
JOHN VONDELINDE, SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS
DATE: NOVEMBER 25, 1992
SUBJECT: FOLLOW UP TO CITY COUNCIL/APRNRC WORKSHOP
ON OAK WILT DISEASE
Back rg ound
As you will recall, on Tuesday November 10th, the City Council held a special workshop, in part, to address the
growing concern over Oak Wilt disease in the City of Eagan. At that meeting, staff presented information on
the nature and extent of the disease in the city and an outline of public policy alternatives for combatting Oak
Wilt disease through community education, public property management, and regulation/enforcement. There
was considerable discussion on the part of the Council as they reviewed ways to fund a five year comprehensive
oak wilt program with anticipated costs exceeding $700,000. Recognizing the current fiscal problems that face
the city, the Council members specifically inquired as to whether the existing city forestry budget could be relied
upon as a source of funding for the program, if even on a proportionately smaller scale.
The purpose of this memorandum is to briefly discuss potential sources of funds within the proposed 1993
Forestry operating budget and the corresponding impacts that utilizing those dollars would have on existing
departmental operations. For your convenience, this information is summarized below in tabular form.

The balance of this memorandum is committed to a more in-depth analysis and discussion of supporting
information.
Temporary Oak Wilt Program
As conveyed at the Council/Commission workshop, it is the opinion of staff that even a scaled down version of
an Oak Wilt suppression program should assume efforts inherent in all three of the public policy areas. In terms
of regulation and enforcement, a seasonal tree inspector should be hired to carry out the responsibilities for
inspecting private properties for oak wilt, noticing property owners, assisting with testing and verification,
performing follow up inspections, and doing spot checks for firewood compliance. This individual would also
serve to coordinate trenching and tree removals on public property and to develop public education/technical
service efforts through brochure dissemination, city newsletter articles, public speaking engagements, school
programs, and
consultation with the public.
One of the basic starting points.for a comprehensive Oak Wilt program is the development of an aerial photo
survey and mapping of the community. This activity would be undertaken through the contractual services of
a professional forestry consultant and would include aerial photography of all wooded areas of the city, photo
interpretation, ground truthing, and the identification and mapping of all diseased trees and infection centers.
This information would serve as a data base for the tree inspector to set up an efficient public notification and
enforcement process.
In addition to these efforts the city should also establish its own program for removing and controlling the spread
of Oak Wilt disease in community parks and open space areas. At the special workshop the
Council/Commission agreed that it is important for the city to demonstrate good stewardship through proper
land management practices and to serve as a model for private residents and landowners. It follows, then, that
the city should also begin a program of tree removal, trenching, stump grinding and proper firewood storage as
a part of the city's overall parks and natural resources operations. With only limited funding available this effort
would naturally be carried out on a priority basis in those areas posing the greatest risk to healthy trees located
on adjacent public or private properties.
The costs of a first year, scaled down program are identified as follows:
Regulation and Education
• Seasonal tree inspector $15,000.00
• Educational materials 2,000.00
• Aerial mapping project 3,000.00
• Testing services 500.00
Public Property Management
• Tree removal (contractual) 5,000.00
• Trenching (contractual) 5,000.00
• Stump grinding (contractual) 2,000.00
TOTAL $32,500.00
This budget should only be considered a starting point for the Oak Wilt abatement program. The principle effort
in 1993 would be to enhance public awareness and understanding of the problem, solicit public cooperation, and
to reduce the rate at which the disease is currently spreading - by eliminating the worst infection centers and
installing trenches to save nearby healthy trees. In order to effectuate the long-term elimination of Oak Wilt
2
disease in the community, however, it must be emphasized that a more comprehensive approach, involving a
higher investment of city capital and operating resources, will be required - as outlined in the five year proposal.
Departmental Funding
Staff have reviewed the City Administrators approved 1993 budget for tree conservation with the intent of
identifying potential sources of funding that could be shifted to an Oak Wilt abatement program. Specific
attention was given to those accounts where a certain degree of latitude could be exercised in using those funds
for the three policy elements. The remaining accounts are either thought to be so small in nature or so closely
tied to the basic forestry operations that they would be utilized regardless of whether the city enters into an Oak
Wilt program. The following list represents those budget items that could be used for a scaled-down Oak Wilt
program. in 1993:
• #4130 Salaries and wages - temporary $15,000.00
• #4250 Landscape materials and supplies 2,500.00
• #4350 General printing and binding 2,500.00
• #4397 Machinery and equipment rental 1,500.00
• #4450 Other contractual services 3,200.00
• #4530 Other improvements 8.000.00
TOTAL $32,700.00
The balance of this report will examine the extent to which forestry operations would be impacted through the
use of these intradepartmental funding sources.
Impacts to Department Operations
$15,000 could be taken from the seasonal forestry budget to hire a seasonal tree inspector. This however, would
represent a 75% reduction in funding available for regular seasonal Forestry personnel in 1993 and a 67%
reduction in comparison to 1992 funding levels. Clearly, this would have a devastating impact on current forestry
operations. With the equivalent of only one 800 hour position, there is little doubt that most tree maintenance
practices including trimming, fertilization, irrigation, mulching, as well as inventory control would need to be
curtailed in 1993. This would be on top of a seasonal forestry budget which has not seen an increase from 1989
levels and which is responsible for more than twice as many maintained trees than just five years ago.
As part of its ongoing educational effort, the forestry division had planned on the publication of two new forestry
brochures in 1993 dealing with energy conservation and planting for wildlife. In addition, reprints of the existing
four brochures (which have been under heavy demand) along with Arbor Day posters and flyers are also
budgeted for calendar year 1993. As part of the Oak Wilt suppression program these dollars ($2,500) could be
used for developing and distributing educational materials on Oak Wilt and to defray mailing and administrative
costs associated with enforcement of the shade tree disease ordinance. Unfortunately, this would negate any
additional printing of forestry brochures which have been well received by the public and are considered an
integral component in building the volunteer participation of residents in reforestation and proper tree
maintenance practices.
With respect to the aerial photo and mapping projects, funds could be taken from Account 4450 - Other
Contractual Services ($3,200). In the past this account has been used to contractually move larger trees in parks
prior to facilities construction and to take advantage of trees offered by residents for transplanting into park and
3
recreation areas. This program is viewed as a cost saver for the city in that the value of the trees which are
saved (or taken advantage of) typically far outweigh the costs in moving them.
As noted above, a budget of $12,000 is considered to be a reasonable amount to carry out the public property
management side of a scaled down Oak Wilt program in 1993. These costs would be associated with trenching,
tree removals and stump grinding in parks and open space areas. Collectively, three other revenue sources within
the forestry budget (landscape materials, machinery and equipment rental, and other improvements) could be
combined to cover the cost for an Oak Wilt program. But like the other program elements this would not be
without its cost to routine tree maintenance and landscaping activities. Dollars would no longer be available
(through the general revenue budget) for landscape mulch, edging material or weed barrier fabric used in
shrubbery bed installation and maintenance. Most of the funds available through Account 4520 - Other
Improvements - would also be relinquished for Oak Wilt control. This account has historically funded a program
of planting or replacing approximatley 100 trees in the parks each year and for implementing smaller scaled
landscaping enhancements in neighborhood parks.
Lastly, the loss of machinery and equipment rental funds would pose a severe limitation on the department's
ability to keep up with tree trimming in parks since this account is used to rent an aerial bucket truck. This is,
in fact, a growing area of concern for the department since trees which were planted in the late 70's and early
80's have matured to a level where ground level equipment (pruning poles, ladders, etc.) are no longer effective
for safely pruning the upper crowns and branches.
Conclusion
In the final analysis, we have concluded that the forestry department is simply not in a position to internally
transfer the needed funds to support an Oak Wilt suppression program without severe impacts to already existing
tree maintenance and landscaping efforts. The loss of these funds would set the forestry department program
back several years and would significantly undermine services which are presently viewed as highly favorable by
the public including public education, reforestation, landscaping, tree maintenance and public education/technical
assistance. We do wish to point out, however, that the opportunity may exist to fund one or two smaller
elements of the program such as aerial photography and mapping by drawing funding from several different
forestry department accounts. We would be happy to discuss these options further with you at your convenience.
We trust hat this memorandum has helped to respond to the Council's question concerning use of the 1993
Forestry udge for the funding of the first phase of Oak Wilt abatement and suppression in the City of Eagan.

ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS
DECEMBER 31, 1992
1. * « Eagan Senior Citizens hosted an influenza immunization clinic at which 154
people received their flu shots. This represented twice as many participants
as last year. Among the reasons for the increase is the fact that Eagan's clinic
was the second to the last offered in the county this fall and folks came from
far and wide.
2. * « The Department Trails, Shelter Building and Tennis Court brochures have
been updated and are ready for distribution.
3.c< The new "bank teller" system for first day Recreation Program registration
worked extremely well. Staff anticipates that summer registration and its
typical congestion will be an event of the past.
4.*« Recreation Intern, Dan Schultz, begins his internship on January 6, 1993. He
will spend eleven weeks with the Department, experiencing most facets of the
winter season work. Dan will carry out a research project, topic yet to be
determined, with a March presentation date to the Commission.
5. * « Community Education #196 is convening a facilities meeting in the near
future. The purpose of the meeting is to review which ball fields are available
for use in 1993. No net increase in facilities is anticipated.
6. * « The Dakota Civic Theatre's opening production "Fantastics" has completed its
run. The number of theatre goers were modest, yet sufficient for audience
reaction. "On Golden Pond" is scheduled to open on January 15.
7. * « Revisions to the city map will be made in January. For several years, now,
the Department has used one side of the map to market park facilities and
recreation activities.
8.*« In addition to the blocks of ice time reserved for Eagan Hockey Association
team practices and Department programs, requests are now being received
from church youth organizations. It is a balancing act to ensure that sufficient
free time is available for neighborhood casual skating.
9. * « Staff invites Commission members to consider attending Winter Week-end
events on January 29, 30, or 31. The informal opportunity to visit with
participants in various events has proven to provide excellent public relations
for the Department.
10. * « The city's Landscape Ordinance Committee reconvened in December to
review a draft of proposed regulations concerning landscaping and tree
preservation to be included within the city's zoning ordinance. The last time
that the landscaping ordinance was updated was in January 1983. Staff of the
Parks and Forestry Departments have taken a lead role in drafting special
provisions as it relates to woodland preservation, tree replacement, and the
restoration of alternative ground covers in new developments including
prairies, meadows and woodlands. These proposed ordinance changes will be
brought before the APRNRC.in February for review.
11. * « The city submitted it's application to the National Arbor Day Foundation for
recognition as a Tree City U.S.A. community for the sixth consecutive year.
Staff fully expects that the city will receive continued recognition under this
program, with official notification sometime this spring.
12. * « City Forester, Tom Schuster, has begun work on preparation of the two
remaining forestry brochures dealing with the topics of landscaping for wildlife
and landscaping for energy conservation. These new brochures are expected
to be in publication by the end of March, in advance of the city's planned
Arbor month activities in April.
13. * « The Dakota County Adult Sentencing to Service Program assisted the Parks
and Recreation Department with three major projects in November and
extending into early December. Numerous hardwood trees that were invading
the Thomas Lake Park prairie were removed, along with several sumac stands
which are not indigenous to prairie plant communities. Work was also
completed on the mulching of approximately 2,500 trees in the city's 30+ park
areas. Finally, the STS assembled and painted approximately 60 - 4x8 wood
panels which will be installed on the Eagan High School baseball field in
spring 1993. This facility will be jointly programmed by the school district and
the City of Eagan for organized baseball.
14.*<< The city's complete inventory of soccer goals were scraped, primed and
repainted in early December. Inspections and repairs were also made to all
tennis court and athletic field fencing throughout the city's park system.
15. * << Lake aeration systems were put in place at Schwanz and Fish Lakes in early
December. Both systems are ready to operate pending lower oxygen level
conditions in these lakes. As of late December, oxygen levels were adequate
but could quickly change with any significant amount of snowfall.
16. * << Final preparations were made for the upcoming season at the city's skating
rinks and sledding hill facilities. This preparatory work included the delivery
of all operational supplies, preparation of all maintenance equipment, and the
setting up of the temporary warming shelters.
v
17. * « Base flooding of the skating rinks began on December 3rd and continued
through December 8th. Unfortunately, with warmer weather operations were
curtailed until December 16th. As a result, the rinks were not officially
opened until Tuesday, December 22nd. A combination of rain, sleet and
snow further hampered maintenance during Christmas weekend. However,
by late December the skating surfaces were good at most locations with the
expectation that additional base flooding will be possible during the first week
in January following the school break.
18. << Ski trail grooming began on December 30th following a four-inch snowfall.
The City of Lakeville, under a joint arrangement with the City of Eagan, will
be grooming all of the city's cross-country ski trails again this year. As the
Commission may be aware, this year's trails include Patrick Eagan and
Northview Parks and the addition of a novice trail at Thomas Lake Park. A
decision was made to close the Blackhawk Lake trail for the 92/93 season
pending completion of site restoration in 1993.
19.« John VonDeLinde and Rich Pelletier met with approximately 15 new park
ranger explorers during an orientation session at the Police Department on
Thursday, December 3rd. The addition of this many new young adults to the
park patrol program should pave the way for another successful program in
1993.

SUBJECT: PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT &
PRELIMINARY PLAT
(ENGSTROM'S DEERWOOD 2ND ADDITION)
APPLICANT: ROBERT ENGSTROM COMPANIES
LOCATION: OUTLOT A, ENGSTROM'S DEERWOOD ADDITION
EXISTING ZONING: PLANNED DEVELOPMENT/TOWNHOUSE (PD/R-3)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DECEMBER 22, 1992
DATE OF REPORT: DECEMBER 8, 1992
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted requesting a
Planned Development Amendment to change the land use from PD R-3 (Planned
Development - Townhouse) to PD R-1 (Planned Development - Single Family) and a
Preliminary Plat consisting of four lots on approximately 2.7 acres on the south side of
Deerwood Drive in the SE 1/4 of Section 21.
LOCATION/EXISTING CONDITIONS: The subject parcel is located in the NW corner of
Engstrom's Deerwood Addition east of Deerwood Elementary School (Public Facility), south
of Sherwood Downs Addition (R-1), and west of the intersection of Pilot Knob Road and
Deerwood Drive. The Land Use Guide Plan designates this area as D-II (0-6 units/acre).
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan. An amendment to the
Planned Development Agreement is necessary to change the use of Townhouses on Outlot
A to single family dwellings.
BACKGROUND: In 1988, the 40-acre Engstom's Deerwood Addition was platted as 84
single family lots and one outlot for future development as townhouses. The development
contract and Planned Development Agreement allow a maximum of 22 townhome units for
Outlot A. If developed with the townhomes, the density for Outlot A would be 8.14
units/acre. With the new proposal, the density would be reduced by 6.66 units/acre to 1.48
units/acre. The overall density for both Deerwood Additions is now proposed as 2.21 vs.
2.66 units/acre.
Prospective homebuyers in the Deerwood Addition were apprised of the future development
plans of Outlot A. This notification was a condition of Final Plat approval of the first
addition to inform, especially the eight homeowners whose lots abut Outlot A.
SITE PLAN: The area of Outlot A is 117,941 sq. ft. or 2.70 acres. The proposed four lots
exceed the minimum lot size requirement, ranging in size from 16,409 sq. ft. to 52,232 sq.
ft. Lots 2 and 3 are 80' wide and the applicant is requesting a 5' variance to the lots to
preserve the stand of large oak trees on Lot 4. A tree survey was done and the 0.5 acre
wooded area defined. This area is characterized by 6-18" red oaks.
Lots 1 and 2 and Lots 3 and 4 share driveway access onto Deerwood Drive. Retaining walls
will be constructed along each side of the driveways. The applicant has designated Lots 1
and 2 as split levels and Lots 3 and 4 as rambler walkout style homes.
PARKS & RECREATION: A sidewalk exists adjacent to the parcel along Deerwood Drive.
The parcel has not contributed towards this sidewalk and therefore is responsible for a cash
trails dedication. This plan is also responsible for a cash parks dedication.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL:
The grading plan for the Engstrom's Deerwood 2nd Addition provides for the grading of the
remaining 2.7 acres of the Engstrom's Deerwood 1st Addition development. The easterly
1 acre portion of this site is proposed to be left in its natural state. The remaining portion
of this site will be graded with maximum cuts of 4 feet and maximum fills of 6 feet. The
fill to be placed over the gas pipeline along the west property line of the site will require
a Williams Brothers permit. There is an existing landscape berm that is located along the
north property line of this site. The proposed driveway construction will require the
removal of the berm in 2 locations to allow for the driveways to enter out to Deerwood
Drive. The preliminary grading plan shows construction of retaining walls along the
proposed driveways where the driveways cut through the berm. Detailed plans and
specifications were made to be submitted with the final grading plan covering the
construction of the retaining walls.
Drainage from this development will travel in 3 different directions. The proposed
driveways and front yard areas of the lots will be directed to Deerwood Drive and to the
existing storm sewer on Deerwood Drive. The backyards of proposed Lots 2, 3 and 4 will
be directed to the existing storm sewer along the south property line of this site. The
drainage from the side yard and backyard of proposed Lot I will drain overland to the
private pond built by Deerwood Middle School. The existing storm sewer facilities in this
area have sufficient capacity to handle the drainage from this proposed development.
The development will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures
in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards.
WATER QUALITY:
This development lies in drainage basin B. Stormwater runoff from the site will discharge
to a detention basin on the Deerwood School grounds or to the existing storm sewer system
adjacent to the site, then to stormwater Pond BP-29, and finally to Blackhawk Lake. The
developer apparently enlarged the wet pond volume of Pond JP-37 as part of Engstrom's
Deerwood 1st Addition. The developer shall submit to the City an as-built grading plan
showing the current wet pond volume for Pond JP-37. Staff will then analyze this increase
to determine whether the modified ponding and drainage configuration associated with the
1st Addition is sufficient to meet water quality requirements for the 2nd Addition as well.
If it is not, a cash dedication in lieu of ponding would be required because the site is too
small to accommodate on-site ponding.
There are no wetlands impact issues associated with this proposed development.
These recommendations are subject to approval by the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and
Natural Resources Commission.
UTILITIES:
Sanitary sewer service of sufficient size, capacity and depth is readily available from an
existing 27" RCP trunk sanitary sewer that runs along the west property line of this site. The
preliminary utility plan shows extending an 8" lateral sanitary sewer line through the four
lots from the 27" line. The 8" line will be a publicly maintained line built to City standards.
Watermain of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is available to serve this development
from an existing 18" watermain on Deerwood Drive. The preliminary watermain layout
proposes to connect to the 18" watermain and provide individual 1" water services to the
four proposed lots. The water service installation will require the removal and replacement
of Deerwood Drive at the connections to the existing 18" watermain. There is an existing
hydrant located in the front of proposed Lot 2 that will provide adequate fire protection to
the proposed development.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION:
Street access is available to this development from Deerwood Drive. Deerwood Drive was
upgraded to current City standards in the middle 1980's to a width of 48 feet face to face
of curb. With this project, a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk was constructed along the south
right-of-wa\ line of Deerwood Drive. The preliminary site plan proposes to construct 2
driveways that will be shared by 2 lots out to Deerwood Drive. This development will be
responsible for removing the 2 existing driveway openings that were provided off of
Deerwood Drive and replace the street with new B618 concrete curb and gutter.
EASEMENTS/1Z IG HT-OF-WAY/PERMITS:
All required easements of sufficient width based on depth of utilities will be dedicated as
a part of this plat. No right-of-way for internal streets will be dedicated as a part of the plat
since all driveways will have access out to Deerwood Drive. The final plat shall dedicate
on the easements up to the high water level of the existing pond on Lot 1.
The development will be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA,
Mn. Dept. of Health, MWCC, Williams Brothers Pipeline, Cooperative Power Association,
etc.) are obtained prior to final plat approval.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - Engstrom's Deerwood 2nd
Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the uses proposed
for the property, the following charges are proposed. The charges are computed using the
City's existing fee schedule and connections proposed to be made to the City's utility system
based on the submitted plans.

SUBJECT: REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT,
(FOUR OAKS ESTATES)
APPLICANT: 2220 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
LOCATION: NW QUARTER SECTION 9
EXISTING ZONING: R-3 (TOWNHOUSE)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DECEMBER 22, 1992
DATE OF REPORT: DECEMBER 14, 1992
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted requesting a
Rezoning from R-3 (Townhouse) to E (Estate) zoning and a Preliminary Plat consisting of
four lots on 8.8 acres located on the north side of Four Oaks Road east of Highway 13.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is heavily-wooded and contains significant slopes. The
property falls about 100' from east to west. Approximately 5.8 acres of the 8.8 acre plat is
heavily wooded. Over 5.3 acres of the woods are characterized by red oak and ironwood
species. The red oaks range in diameter from 6" to 24". The western 130' of the parcel is
low and contains boxelders and elms. The eastern woodland edge contains several 24" - 30"
diameter cottonwoods. The eastern three acres of the parcel is meadow.
COMMENTS: The proposed plat contains four lots ranging in size from 1.5 to 2.2 acres.
The applicant intends each lot to be custom graded and built. The Estate zoning district
requires 20,000 sq. ft. minimum lot areas and a 100' minimum lot width and all lots exceed
these requirements. The Rezoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan
designation of D-II Mixed Residential (0-6 units/acre).
AIRPORT CONSIDERATIONS: This proposal does not fall within the Metropolitan
Council's noise policy contours, but it is close enough (1/4-1/2 mile) to address the issue.
This was discussed with the applicant at the staff review meeting. Since aircraft currently
fly further south than they were when the contours were developed, noise may be considered
to be intrusive by some of the project's residents. Therefore, while we cannot require the
developer to meet Metropolitan Council standards, it would be appropriate to share with
him ways to abate the noise within the units. By considering incorporation of such elements
as chimney caps, elbows and vents, etc., the sound environment of the units may be
substantially improved without considerable cost.
PARKS & RECREATION: A grading plan was not provided with this application.
Therefore, staff has prepared a conceptual grading plan to evaluate the developmental
impact to the woodland resource. Lot 1 best orients the house pad within the low area to
the west. It appears that a sensitive site layout will result in minimal impact to the woods.
Lot 2 is covered in oak woods. The location of a house pad along the upper sideslope with
a private drive off Four Oaks Road would disturb approximately .31 acres of the 1.8 acre
lot. Lot 3 is approximately 50% covered with woods. Orienting the house pad at the top
of the slope, using tuck under architecture and installing a private drive off Four Oaks Road
would result in the disturbance of .69 acres of the 2.1 acre lot. Lot 4 can be developed with
minimal disturbance to the .15 acres of woods on the 2.18 acre lot. Each scenario assumed
custom architecture, private driveway and utility services which follow the driveway
alignment. Staff has worked with the developer in reconfiguring lot lines which minimizes
the extent of grading and tree loss.
The custom development approach preserves the integrity of the site and allows for a site
specific development plan. This approach has consistently shown itself as a benefit regarding
resource preservation.
The plat will be subject to both a cash parks and trail dedication.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The developer did not submit a grading,
drainage and erosion control plan with his preliminary plat submittal. Therefore, it is
difficult to determine the amount of disturbance that this subdivision will have on the
existing terrain of this site.
This development incorporates a section of land with considerable variations in topography.
The elevation differential from the northeast corner of this site to the southwest comer of
this site is 100 feet. This site is primarily heavily wooded with an established grass cover
on the site. The grading that will be required to construct the proposed driveways from
Four Oaks Road up to the proposed houses could disturb an area of 100 feet wide as the
driveway winds up the hill through the trees. This area of disturbance is based on a
maximum slope of 10% for all private driveways which is the maximum slope allowed by
City Code. Also, a level area needs to be provided at the garage and at the connection of
the driveway to Four Oaks Road. If the developer intends to exceed the maximum slope
of 10% for private driveways, then written documentation shall be submitted for staff review.
The drainage from the proposed lots will be conveyed overland to Four Oaks Road. Four
Oaks Road has an existing 24" storm sewer line that conveys runoff in a westerly direction
to Pond CP-9 which is a pond on the City's Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan.
The development will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures
in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards. Since drainage
will go direct to Pond CP-9 from this development, the future home builders shall take
special care to prevent erosion of sediments onto Four Oaks Road. Silt fence shall be
placed along the toe of the slopes of the disturbed areas and construction entrance pads
shall be provided during building construction periods. The developer will be required to
submit with the, final plat application a detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan
showing how the driveways will be constructed up to the proposed houses showing building
elevations and erosion control measures. If retaining walls will be used to minimize
disturbance for the grading of the driveways, detailed plans and specifications shall be
submitted to the City for review and approval showing the proposed retaining wall
construction.
WATER QUALITY & WETLANDS: This proposed development is located in Drainage
Basin C in the northwestern portion of the City. Runoff from the development will
discharge to Pond CP-9, a 45 foot deep flooded abandoned gravel pit classified as a nutrient
trap in the Water Quality Management Plan. In spite of its classification, this pond supports
moderately heavy fishing and other recreational uses.
Changes in runoff characteristics of this site are expected to be relatively moderate after
development because of the low density of housing units (2.2 acres/unit). A cash dedication
that accounts for this significantly lower density of development will be recommended to
meet water quality requirements.
There are no wetlands on-site, consequently no wetland impact issues are expected.
These recommendations are subject to approval by the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and
Natural Resources Commission.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient size, capacity and depth is readily available
from Four Oaks Road from an existing 9" line in Four Oaks Road and from an existing 9"
line along the east right-of-way line of Highway 13. The preliminary plat submittal did not
provide a layout of how the proposed lots will be served with sewer and water service.
Water main of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is available to serve this development
from an existing 10" water main in Four Oaks Road and from an existing 12" water main
on the east right-of-way line of Highway 13. The existing hydrant on Four Oaks Road will
provide fire protection to the proposed houses on Lots 1, 2 and 3. The proposed house on
Lot 4 will be approximately 400 feet from the nearest hydrant and, therefore, marginal fire
protection will be provided to Lot 4. City staff recommends that an additional hydrant be
added to provide better fire protection to the house on Lot 4.
The final plat application shall include a sewer and water layout plan that will show how
each of the proposed houses will be served by sewer and water. City staff recommends that
the sewer and water services for the proposed lots follow the driveways to limit the
disturbance to the vegetation and trees of this site. Clean-outs shall be provided on the
sewer services every 100 feet. The utility layout plan shall analyze the size of the water
service lines that will be required to provide adequate pressure to the proposed houses on
this development.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: No access is being proposed to Highway 13. The
proposed lots are shown to have individual driveways that will connect to Four Oaks Road.
Four Oaks Road was upgraded by the City in the mid-1980's to a bituminous surface street
with concrete curb and gutters and a bituminous trail along the south right-of-way line. The
proposed driveways will be required to remove the existing B-618 concrete curb and gutter
and construct a driveway apron at the connection to the City street.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS/PERMITS: The development shall dedicate sufficient
easements for the existing 9" sanitary sewer that runs along the west edge of Lot 1. The
existing 9" sanitary sewer shall be field located to determine the exact location of the utility.
Restricted access shall be dedicated along the west property line of Lot 1 on the final plat.
This development shall be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits
(MPCA, MWCC, Dept. of Health, MnDOT, etc.) are acquired prior to final plat approval.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - Four Oaks Estates Addition
Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the uses proposed
for the property, the following charges are proposed. The charges are computed using the
City's existing fee schedule and connections proposed to be made to the City's utility system
based on the submitted plans.
Improvement Use Rate Quantity Amount

SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN, REZONING, AND
PRELIMINARY PLAT (SIGNAL POINT)
APPLICANT: SIGNAL BANK
LOCATION: LB (LIMITED BUSINESS)
EXISTING ZONING: BLOCK 1, KNOB HILL PROFESSIONAL PARK
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DECEMBER 22, 1992
DATE OF REPORT: DECEMBER 10, 1992
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted requesting a
Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment of 8.1 acres from LB (Limited Business) to D-I
(Single Family, 0-3 units/acre), a Rezoning of 8.1 acres from LB to R-1 (Single Family), and
a Preliminary Plat consisting of 14 lots located along the west side of Knob Drive in the SE
1/4 of Section 21.
This proposal would rezone and plat the area north and northwest of Knob Drive to a single
family use. Existing lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 2, south and east of Knob Drive are not included
in this proposal.
BACKGROUND/EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site was rezoned to allow LB (Limited
Business) uses within the Knob Hill Professional Park and was platted in 1984. In
November 1984, Pilot Knob Animal Hospital opened (Lot 7, Block 1). The following spring,
Coldwell Banker Real Estate was constructed on Lot 2, Block 2 (corner lot on Pilot Knob
and Diffley Roads). In May 1988, the two-story office building was constructed next to the
veterinarian clinic on Lot 6, Block 1.
The remaining 12 lots are vacant, however staff has had several discussions with O'Halloran
and Murphy Company, owners of Lot 3, Block 2, regarding the future development of Enga
Funeral Home. North of the proposed plat is Engstrom's Deerwood Addition zoned PD,
R-1 (Single Family). Three lots from Deerwood Court abut the project on the north. East
of the proposed plat is Pilot Knob Road (County Rd. 31) and Block 2 of Knob Hill
Professional Park (zoned LB - Limited Business) which is not included in this plat. South
of the site is Diffley Road (County Road 30) and west is the Deerwood Ponds Addition, a
28 lot R-1 (Single Family) subdivision platted in May 1992.
C~~
All lots on Block 1 slope downward toward the rear lot lines. Lots 1-8, Block 1, are mainly
open and grassy, gradually becoming more wooded further west, especially Lots 1, 2, and 4.
With the exception of Lot 1, Block 2, Lots 2-6 are open and grassy with a few scattered oak
trees.
Lot 1, Block 2, is more densely-wooded, especially the southern half of the lot. A large hill
is also located on the southeastern half of Lot 1, Block 2.
LAND USE: The Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan designates this area as LB (Limited
Business). An amendment to this plan has been submitted requesting a change in land use
from LB (Limited Business) to D-1 (Single Family residential, 0-3 units/acre). The lots are
split into two blocks; Block 1 containing the southern lots and Block 2 the northern six.
These lots are divided by two existing commercial uses. Lot 8, Block 1, will be impacted
mostly by the two-story office building and parking lot and Lots 1 and 6, Block 2, will be
impacted by Pilot Knob Animal Hospital.
During peak hours Coldwell Banker and the dentist offices have limited parking on-site
which creates parking along Knob Drive. Another concern for the residential use is the use
of Knob Drive as a cut-through from Diffley Road to Pilot Knob Road so the left turn light
is avoided, as well as a right-turn on southbound Pilot Knob Road to eastbound Diffley
Road. Commercial uses may not be negatively impacted by this and may welcome the
increased visibility whereas as a residential use may find the cut-through traffic undesirable.
The commercial uses adjoining this plat do not include retail sales.
SITE PLAN: The site plan shows the platting of 14 single family lots ranging in size from
17,095 sq. ft. to 38,069 sq. ft. The average lot size is 23,658 sq. ft. As proposed, all lots
exceed the minimum lot size requirement of 12,000 sq. ft. The net density for the project
is 1.84 units/acre.
Lots 1-8, Block 1, take access from the existing Knob Drive. Lot 1, Block 1, has shown an
optional driveway access to the existing private drive to the south in the Deerwood Ponds
Addition. The lots in Block 2 shall take access from the existing private cul-de-sac (Signal
Point). Lot 6, Block 2 which has right-of-way on three sides, shall take its access from Signal
Point.
During staff review, discussion on increasing the minimum front yard setback from 30' to 45'
for Block 1 was brought up to try to alleviate any impact from the commercial uses. The
applicant shared this concern and reflected the 45' setback on the development and grading
plan. Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, do not meet the 85' lot width requirement; they are
approximately 78-80' wide. Lot 1, Block 1, does not meet the required 50' width at right-of-
way for access. A variance of 20' shall be required for this lot.
PARKS & RECREATION: Staff recommends that the developer provide a tree protection
plan which places fences to protect significant trees during grading especially of Lot 1, Block
1 and Lot 1, Block 2. This plat will be subject to both cash trails and parkland dedication.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The preliminary grading plan shows
excavation or filling for building pads and drainage swales for all lots will average 1-3 feet
with the exception being Lot 4, Block 2, which has a small but high hill out at the boulevard.
Most of this hill, which has several large oaks on it, will need to be cut out either because
it is in the right-of-way or for the installation of services. Before Signal Point (formerly
Knob Point) is accepted as a publicly maintained street, the boulevards shall be graded at
a 2% slope behind the curb.
The elevation of all of the lots drops to the rear making them suitable for the proposed
walkouts. This development proposes 45 foot minimum set backs for the seven homes
abutting Knob Drive. These lots can accommodate those large set backs.
The preliminary drainage plan shows the direction and the amount of runoff from the
proposed lots to remain unchanged. Three lots drain into the right-of-way of Pilot Knob
Road with the rest draining west into Pond BP-27, which is a ponding area in the City's
Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan.
Storm sewer for Knob Drive and Signal Points already exists from when these streets were
constructed as part of the Knob Hill Professional Park development. Runoff from proposed
Lot 8 of Block I and the existing dental office property are creating erosion between these
properties as it flows down the slope and west into BP-27. Staff recommends that this
runoff be intercepted at the southwest corner of the dental office parking lot and piped
through a storm sewer to the normal water level of pond BP-27.
The development will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures
in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual.
WATER QUALITY:
This proposed development is located in drainage basin B. Runoff from the site will
discharge to Pond BP-27, a nutrient basin, before traveling through several more
nutrient/sediment basins. Eventually, the runoff will discharge to Blackhawk Lake.
Two City-funded capital improvement projects to improve treatment of runoff discharging
to Blackhawk Lake are currently underway in this drainage. Because these projects
represent a more cost-effective means of protecting Blackhawk Lake, staff will recommend
that this development he subject to a cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding to meet its
water quality obligation.
No wetlands lie on the site, but a significant wetland associated with Pond BP-27 lies just
to the west of the proposed development. The -eastern edge of this wetland must be
delineated and any impacts associated with filling the wetland with eroded or other material
associated with the proposed development will be prohibited.
These recommendations are subject to approval by the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and
Natural Resources Commission.
UTILITIES:
Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth already exists within Knob Drive and
the renamed Signal Point. In addition, existing 6" DIP sanitary sewer services are able to
serve ten of the proposed 14 lots of the new plat. Three new 4" PVC services will be cut
into Knob Drive and Signal Point and one lot is proposed to be served by an 8" sewer
stubbed into the new plat from Pond Wynde South in Deerwood Ponds.
Watermain of sufficient size, capacity and pressure also already exists within Knob Drive
and the renamed Signal Point. Existing 1-1/2" copper water services serve ten of the
fourteen proposed lots. Four new 1" copper services will be cut into Knob Drive and Signal
Point although one service for Lot 1, Block 1 may be connected to watermain in Pond
Wynde South to the west. This service would require going through a boulder retaining wall
and cutting through the bituminous private driveway. Existing hydrants on Knob Drive and
Signal Point will provide adequate coverage for fire protection for all proposed lots.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: All proposed lots will abut Knob Drive and Signal
Point (formerly Knob Point). Signal Point is presently a 34' wide (back of curb to back of
curb) privately maintained street with inadequate right-of-way. The developer will be
responsible for submitting to the City street testing results to verify that the street was
constructed to City standards. Knob Drive has full access to both Diffley Road and Pilot
Knob Road. All driveways would access Knob Drive and Signal Point except Lot 1, Block
1, which may obtain driveway access from the private driveway west thereof in Deerwood
Ponds.
RIGHT-OF-V1'AY/EASEMENTS/PERMITS: Additional right-of-way is required to be
dedicated along Signal Point to meet minimum City Code standards for roadway right-of-
way. The existing 34' wide (hack to hack) street requires a 60' wide right-of-way dedication.
New drainage and utility easements are proposed along all new lot lines. This development
shall obtain permanent easements for the proposed storm line that will drain Lot 8 of Block
1 and the existing dental office property.
With the 60' wide right-of-way dedication requirement for Signal Point as identified in the
City Code, the existing animal hospital is set-back 15' from the right-of-way and 28' from
back of curb.
This development shall be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits
(MPCA, MWCC, Mn. Department of Health, Mn DNR) are acquired prior to final plat
approval.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - Signal Point Addition
Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the uses proposed
for the property, the following charges are proposed. The charges are computed using the
City's existing fee schedule and connections proposed to be made to the City's utility system
based on the submitted plans.
Improvement Use Rate Quantity Amount
None so
There are levied assessments totaling $42,355 which will be apportioned to the lots created by
this addition. There are no pending assessments on the property.

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT
(TOWN CENTRE 70 15TH ADDITION)
APPLICANT: EAGAN TOWER OFFICE BUILDING PARTNERSHIP
LOCATION: OUTLOT A, TOWN CENTRE 70 11TH ADDITION
EXISTING ZONING: CSC (COMMUNITY SHOPPING CENTER)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DECEMBER 22, 1992
DATE OF REPORT: DECEMBER 14, 1992
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary
Plat of approximately 16.5 acres for one lot and one outlot located along the east side of
Town Centre Drive and the west side of Denmark Avenue in the NW 1/4 of Section 15.
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN & ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS: The 1991
Comprehensive Guide Plan Map designates this area CSC (Community Shopping Center)
and the proposal is consistent with this plan.
The EAW (Environmental Assessment Worksheet) prepared for Town Centre 70 (June
1986) analyzed approximately 530,000 sq. ft. of miscellaneous commercial uses. Through
November 1992 (which includes Town Centre 70 2nd through the 14th Additions)
approximately 379,516 sq. ft. has been developed or approved for development. Adding the
74,964 sq. ft. Kohl's department store proposed in the 15th Addition brings total
development built/approved to 454,480 sq. ft. As such, the proposed development is within
the allotted square footage analyzed in the EAW. ISP (Indirect Source Permit) 86-11 for
Town Centre 70 allows 3,485 parking spaces. Through November 1992 approximately 2,264
spaces have been developed or approved for development. Adding the 454 spaces proposed
brings the total parking spaces to 2,718. As such, the proposed number of parking spaces
is within the allowed limit of the ISP.
BACKGROUND/EXISTING CONDITIONS: The proposed site is within the Eagan Town
Centre development located south of the existing strip mall and north of WalMart. Except
for the R-4 (Multiple) zoned Forest Ridge apartments, the surrounding properties are zoned
CSC (Community Shopping Center).
There are approximately 81 Kohl's stores nationwide; five are located in the Twin Cities
area. Kohl's will employ approximately 150 employees at the Town Centre location.
li's
SITE PLAN: The concept plan shows a 74,964 sq. ft. building attached to the north wall of
WalMart. On the north side of Kohl's, the developer has shown the existing service area
for the strip center enclosed. During its review of WalMart in May 1991, the City was made
aware of the developer's plans to share the north wall of WalMart. At that time, there was
no discussion of an enclosed service area between Kohl's and the strip center.
The proposed building is a brown taupe, rock-face concrete block with beige color bands,
creme color stucco and white columns. Of the 81 Kohl's stores nationwide, only 12 have
used the CMU (concrete masonry unit) exterior walls. The City is requesting the building
be made of brick finish exterior walls.
The front entrances to the building are on the west side and the service area is proposed on
the east side facing Forest Ridge apartments and Outlot A to the east. As proposed, the
two-bay loading dock does not include a screening wall. During review of this project, it was
recommended to the developer to place a screening wall of 12' to conceal delivery trucks.
This request was not reflected on any of the revised plans. A screen wall has been shown
on the front of the building between the enclosed service corridor and Kohl's. The walls
measure 80' in length and 16' in height. The completely enclosed service corridor will not
allow any vehicular traffic. All deliveries will be hand-carted in and delivery trucks will park
in the rear portion of Kohl's and the existing retail strip mall. No delivery trucks shall be
permitted to park on the west side of the building other than the tenants not located in the
enclosed service corridors. No specific building material was labeled for the east and west
walls of the service corridor.
The building-mounted signs are white and signs have been shown on the front and rear
elevation of the building.
The concept plan indicates 411 parking spaces on the west side of the building and 43 spaces
on the east side for a total of 454. Code requires 408 parking spaces.
Cross-parking and drive easements will be necessary between this plat and Town Centre 70
11th Addition (WalMart).
The landscape was prepared by a landscape architect who has done other work in Town
Centre additions. This plan reflects the same continuity among the Town Centre
development.
The plat was submitted for review by the City's traffic consultants, Short-Elliott-Hendrickson.
The following pages describe their review.

Kohl's Department Store Circulation
Study
SEH File No. 89040
Mr. Jim Sturm
City of Eagan
3830 Pilot Knob Road
Eagan, MN 55122-1897
Dear Mr. Sturm:
As you requested, we have reviewed the proposed Kohl's Department Store in Town
Centre. Our review consists of an analysis of driveway location and design, on-site
circulation and parking, pedestrian circulation and truck loading and delivery.
Several of the concerns regarding access and site design are similar to issues discussed
during the review of the Wal-Mart development.
Access Location and Design
South Town Centre Drive Access:
The south Town Centre Drive access has been designed with the intent of lengthening the
driveway throat without removing a significant amount of parking spaces. With the
substantial amount of development served by this access, the driveway length is still
somewhat inadequate. Previously, during the site circulation and access review for Wal-
Mart, we suggested that a minimum driveway length of 100 feet be provided. The
attached drawing shows how this can be provided with very little impact to the parking
area (Sketch 1). A 44 foot driveway width is provided to maximize storage in two
outbound lanes. In the sketch, the 100 foot driveway throat is measured along the north
side of the driveway, from the Right-of-way line into the site. The sketch is an
improvement over the proposed site plan because 1) it provides a minimum of 100 feet of
storage length for outbound traffic, 2) it has a smoother alignment and is a consistent
width between the street and the parking area, and 3) it eliminates some of the parking
spaces which would create the most conflict with vehicles entering and exiting the site.
A more severe driveway design, but one that would be very appropriate in a
development of this size, is shown in Sketch 2. This design would provide optimal
circulation in the driveway, with no conflicts from parking spaces along the main entrance
or openings into the parking lot until the driver is approximately 300 feet into the site.
ST CLOUD t.1^+ ' CHIPPEW4 FALLS LN MADISON Yv
Mr. Jim Sturm
December 11, 1992
Page 2
This type of design would certainly emphasize that this is the "main" entrance /exit to the
site.
To separate vehicle and pedestrian traffic as much as possible, it is advantageous if the
south Town Centre Drive access is perceived and used as the main entrance to the Wal-
Mart and Kohl's Stores. If the Duckwood Drive access is perceived as being the main
entrance to the two department stores, much of the traffic bound exclusively for Kohl's
will pass Wal-Mart on the drive aisle next to the building, where the heaviest
concentration of pedestrian traffic is located.
The disadvantage of parking along the main entrance aisle was discussed during the Wal-
Mart review. This parking will slow down the progress of vehicles into the site and away
from the driveway. As drivers back out of parking spaces, or wait in the drive aisle for a
parking space to open up, they will hinder the progress of other vehicles working their
way into the site and away from the driveway. This will become more noticeable after
Kohls is developed.
We suggest that at a minimum, this driveway be modified by using a design similar to
that shown in Sketch 1. A more significant improvement would be to the implementation
of a design similar to that shown in Sketch 2.
City staff expressed concern over the sight distance from the south driveway, looking
south on Town Centre Drive. According to staff, the height of the berm along the east side
of Town Centre Drive causes difficulty for drivers who are trying to see northbound
traffic. The attached drawing (Sketch3) shows the recommended amount of sight distance
required to provide adequate "horizontal decision sight distance" for a street with a 30
miles per hour speed (MnDOT Road Design Manual, Part 1). This amount of sight
distance (440 feet) allows a driver to safely make a decision about pulling out onto the
street from an intersecting street or driveway. The height of the driver's eye is
approximately 3.5 feet above the level of the driveway or street. The maximum height of
the berm, or any landscaping on the berm, must be low enough to allow the driver to see
that portion of the street which carries the on-coming traffic. If the Town Centre Drive
berm does not provide for this, it may be advisable to lower the berm and modify the
landscaping as necessary.
North Town Centre Drive Access:
The proposed site plan shows a relocation of the north driveway on Town Centre Drive
placing the driveway approximately 100 feet north of its current location. The location of
the driveway does not appear to be a problem. When a development proposal is made on
the vacant site across Town Centre Drive, it will be important to ensure that the
driveway(s) to the site either aligns with the relocated driveway to Town Centre, or is far
Mr. Jim Sturm
December 11, 1992
Page 3
enough away that it does not create conflicting left turn movements on Town Centre
Drive.
Relocation of this driveway does make it more difficult for service vehicles to access the
area behind the existing strip mall. However, more direct access is provided from
Denmark Avenue. Hopefully, if truck drivers encounter too much interaction with
customer traffic, or difficulty of maneuvering into the service area, they will choose to use
the Denmark Avenue driveway.
The new north driveway should provide at least as much capacity as the existing
driveway, with one outbound left turn lane (12'), and one outbound right turn lane (14').
If the City wishes to have this recommendation based on more information, we suggest
conducting a 48 hour traffic count and/or a p.m. peak hour turning movement count at
the existing driveway. This would enable us to more accurately determine the
appropriate number of inbound and outbound lanes under current conditions, and any
additional capacity needed as a result of the development of Kohls and the proposed
13,600 sq. ft. strip mall north of the driveway.
On-Site Circulation and Parking
The most serious concern regarding on-site circulation and parking is the design of the
drive a aisle in front of the proposed Kohis building. The width of the drive aisle ranges
from approximately 30 to 70 feet between the west end of the strip mall and the Kohls
building. The attached drawing (Sketch 2)shows some minor modifications to the
parking islands and the sidewalk/ landscaped area in front of the Kohls building which
would improve the channelization of traffic through this area and eliminate a situation
where vehicles would be backing directly out into the curved portion of the drive aisle.
Truck Loading and Delivery
It appears that the Kohls store has an adequate service area in which to maneuver
delivery trucks and garbage trucks provided that additional parking is not permitted in
this area.
Development of the Kohls store does severely limit the service area for the existing strip
mall. This area is proposed to be gated and enclosed. Depending on where deliveries are
being made, this arrangement could result in problems or delays for service vehicles. The
corridor ranges from approximately 15 to 35 feet. If a delivery vehicle is parked in the
narrow portion of the service corridor, another vehicle will generally not have adequate
space to get by this vehicle. The wider 35 foot areas are generally not adequate for
maneuvering most types of delivery vehicles other than vans and pickups. Generally
speaking, it appears that the enclosed service corridor will provide for one-way traffic
only. If the enclosed service corridor is implemented, adequate sight distance of
pedestrians walking between Kohls and the strip mall should be insured at the gated
access to or from the service corridor during the detailed design phase.
Mr. Jim Sturm

Conclusion
The most serious concern with the proposed development is the design of the main Wal-
Mart/Kohls entrance off of Town Centre Drive. The site does provide the flexibility to
correct this problem with the development of Kohls.

GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The preliminary grading plan proposes
4 foot cuts in the proposed parking lot and 5 foot cuts where the proposed department
store will be located. The area was previously graded by the Town Centre developers in the
middle 1980's. Therefore, a limited amount of grading will be needed to prepare this site.
Staff recommends a 3 foot berm be constructed along Town Centre Drive to provide a
buffer from the proposed parking lot.
The drainage from this development will be conveyed by an existing storm sewer system to
Pond JP-66.1 constructed with the WalMart development. The proposed parking lot along
the west side of the building will need additional catch basins added to drain the parking
lot. Pond JP-66.1 is a pond on the City's Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan
and has an outlet that eventually drains to Fish Lake. The existing storm sewer system that
would drain this development has sufficient capacity to handle the storm water runoff
generated from this site.
The development will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures
in accordance with the City's Erosion/ Sediment Control Manual standards.
WATER QUALITY:
This development is located in drainage basin J. The proposed storm sewer layout for the
site would direct runoff to Pond JP-66.1, a nutrient basin designed to treat runoff from the
WalMart site before discharge to another very small sediment basin, then Fish Lake. As
noted in the May 1991 staff report for the WalMart development, additional on-site ponding
to protect Fish Lake was required to meet water quality treatment standards when the
remainder of the parcel developed, as is being proposed now.
Because of the large impervious surface associated with this development and it's close
proximity to Fish Lake, on-site ponding will be required for this development. Assuming
that all runoff from the proposed development as well as Outlot A is directed first to Pond
JP-66.1 and that runoff from the 12.2 acres of commercial land use directly west of the
WalMart development is directed to pond JP-66, JP-66 must be expanded to 0.55 acres in
surface area and 3 acre-feet in volume. A skimmer will also be required on the outlet, and
the pond design shall be subject to approval by City staff. This pond configuration will meet
treatment requirements for both the 15th Addition as well as Outlot A when it develops.
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: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient size, capacity and depth is readily available
from an existing 8" line that was constructed in 1991 with the Wal-Mart project. The
preliminary utility plan shows extending the 8" line up to the east side of the proposed
building.
Watermain of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is readily available to serve this
development from an existing 8" watermain that was constructed in 1991 with the Wal-Mart
project. The proposed utility plan shows extending the 8" watermain to the north to the
proposed building. The preliminary utility plan also proposes to add hydrants to provide
fire protection to this site.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Public street access is readily available to this site
from Town Centre Drive on the west, Duckwood Drive on the south, and Denmark Avenue
on the east. The preliminary site plan shows constructing a driveway on the north edge of
the lot to Town Centre Drive. The preliminary site plan also shows utilizing the existing
driveway that serves the Wal-Mart development from Town Centre Drive and from
Duckwood Drive.
The developer proposes to remove the existing service entrance driveway that runs along
the south edge of the existing Town Centre shops and Dougherty's Restaurant building. The
existing driveway opening on Town Centre Drive shall be removed and replaced with B-618
concrete curb and gutter. The new driveway opening on Town Centre Drive shall be
constructed with a concrete valley gutter and concrete apron. The temporary bituminous
driveway that was constructed with the Wal-Mart development heading north from the Wal-
Mart store in front of the proposed department store will be reconstructed with this
development. The site plan shall include islands to channelize the driveway and to
eliminate parking spaces which would back directly out into the drive aisle in front of the
department store.
EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS: If the expansion of Pond JP-66 extends beyond
the existing ponding easement, then more easement shall be dedicated with the final plat.
The proposed storm sewer that will serve this development is a privately owned and
maintained system, therefore, no easements are needed over the storm sewer lines.
This development shall be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits,
(MPCA, MWCC, Dept. of Health, etc.) are acquired prior to final plat approval.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - Town Centre 70 15th Addition
Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the uses proposed
for the property, the following charges are proposed. The charges are computed using the
City's existing fee schedule and connections proposed to be made to the City's utility system
based on the submitted plans.
Improvement Use Rate Quantity' Amount
Water Availability
Charge $2,550/Ac 2.28 Ac 5 814
There are levied assessments totaling $161,772 which will be apportioned to the lots created
by this addition. There are no pending assessments on the properly.
The financial obligation is computed using the 1993 adopted rates.
