02/04/1993 - Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: FEBRUARY 1, 1993 RE: FEBRUARY 4, 1993, COMMISSION MEETING Preceding the regular Commission meeting, the Recreation Sub-committee will meet at 6:00 p.m. That meeting will take place in the Conference rooms adjacent to the Council Chambers. Two announcements at this time. Chairman, Jack Johnson, has resigned from the Advisory Commission. Staff received a call from Mr. Johnson early last week in which he indicated that the nature of his work changed significantly causing him to frequently be absent from the City and from attending to his responsibilities as an Advisory Commission member. Jack expressed regrets in having to do so, having enjoyed serving on the Commission, but recognized that his work conditions have changed significantly and precludes him from serving on the Commission any longer. The second item of importance is Steve Sullivan, Landscape Architect/Parks Planner has accepted a position with the Dakota County Parks Department. Steve's resignation is included in the packet for your review. I am sure we all wish Steve well in his new position that is obviously an advancement for Steve in his career goals. Steve's last day with the City will be February 12, 1993. Consent Agenda After the traditional formalities of the Advisory Commission's meeting, the first item under the Consent Agenda is the Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition. A single motion to approve all consent items would be in order. Development Proposals There are two items under Development Proposals which staff has provided background information on. The Commission is asked to carefully review the memorandum by Water Quality Resource Coordinator, Rich Brasch, having to do with this particular addition. Old Business There are three items under Old Business. The first item is the Minnesota Releaf Grant Program update. Staff has previously reviewed this item in terms of. making the grant application and its acceptance. This memo speaks to the implementation of that grant for the city. I', The second item is park naming. At the workshop meeting in January, the Commission questioned if the Manor Lake Subdivision was named for the Lake, or the lake followed the name of the subdivision. Mrs. Holz, the family that has owned the property stated that the lake did not have an "official name". Staff will be asking the Commission to place this on the March Agenda. The last item is the golf driving range. Staff has included a memorandum concerning the golf driving range at Lexington/Diffley site. This memorandum covers the Council's review of this- at its Tuesday, February 2 meeting and additional information concerning costs that the Advisory Commission had asked for at its January meeting. New Business The first item under New Business is a review of the structuring of the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission. Staff has provided a cover memorandum and background information pertaining to this particular discussion. The Commission is asked to provide their input and provide "fact-finding" background information for the City Council prior to the Council's meeting of February 16, 1993. The Council hopes to, at that time, make their appointments to the Commission as well as a determination of restructuring. Scope of Services/Parks Systems Plan Update Staff has again included a final draft of the Scope of Services intended for the Park Systems Plan update. In addition to the Scope of Services there would be a cover letter and timeline sent to various firms who specialize or have had background in developing Park Systems Plans. The Commission is asked to review the Scope of Services document, make any additions necessary or appropriate. Once the Commission is comfortable with the document, it would be appropriate for them to forward this to the City Council with their recommendations. Landscape. Tree Preservation and Turf Establishment Policies Included in this packet is a memorandum regarding the Landscape, Turf Establishment and Tree Preservations Ordinances/Policies. Staff has been working on this for some time and has recently presented to the City Council the Landscape Ordinance portion of this document. The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission has reviewed this ordinance several months ago and had recommended to the City Council its adoption. It has been further reviewed by the City Attorney's office, staff and Planning Commission and forwarded to the City Council at the February 2, 1993 Council meeting. Superintendent of Parks, Jon VonDeLinde will review the ordinances bringing the Advisory Commission up to date on each of the particular aspects involved. Parks Development There is one item under Parks Development having to do with the creation of sand volleyball courts at Goat Hill Park. This information is contained on a separate memorandum contained within the packet. Water Quality Water Quality Coordinator, Rich Brasch, had intended to provide a brief presentation to the Advisory Commission on Water Quality policies and practices. However, given the length of this agenda and the issues having to do with the restructuring of the Advisory Commission, this item has not been placed on the agenda but will be placed on the March meeting. Other Business and Reports There are several items under Other Business and Reports which do not necessarily require Advisory Commission action. As always, if members of the Advisory Commission are unable to attend the Commission meeting, notification of staff would be appreciated.

MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION EAGAN, MINNESOTA JANUARY 7, 1993 A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission was called to order at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 7, 1993 with the following Commission members present: Erin lpsen-Borgersen, Jonathan Widem, Ted Billy, Jack Johnson, Lee Markell, Dan Mooradian and Kevin Knight. Commission Member Deborah Johnson was not present. Staff present included Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation; Stephen Sullivan, Landscape Architect/Park Planner; Dorothy Peterson, Superintendent of Recreation; John VonDeLinde, Parks Superintendent; Rich brasch, Water Quality Coordinator; Dan Schultz, Intern and Cherryl Mesko,Secretary. Superintendent of Recreation Peterson introduced Dan Schultz to the Commission noting that he would be interning with the Department for 12 weeks and would conclude his internship with a presentation to the Commission. AGENDA Director Vraa noted that Signal Point Addition was pulled from the Consent Agenda and asked that Park Naming be deferred to the February, 1993 meeting. Erin Ipsen-Borgersen moved, Lee Markell seconded the motion with all members voting in favor to accept the Agenda as amended. MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 3, 1992 Kevin Knight moved, Ted Billy seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the minutes of December 3, 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, Ted Billy moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded the motion to make the following recommendations to the City Council. All members voted in favor. 1. Engstrom's Deerwood Second Addition - Robert Engstrom Companies. That the proposal be subject to a cash parks dedication and a cash trails dedication. That the developer provide staff with a tree protection plan prior to final plat which indicates the location of tree protection fencing which is to be installed and maintained during the construction time frame. the development be subject to a cash water quality dedication which is estimated at $1,940, in lieu of on-site ponding. 2. Four Oaks Estates - Rosewood Corporation. That the proposal be subject to a cash parks dedication and a cash trails dedication. The development be subject to a cash dedication in lieu of ponding to meet water quality treatment requirements with the dedication to be adjusted to reflect the low level of development density on the site. TOWN CENTRE 70 - 15TH ADDITION Landscape Architect/Park Planner Sullivan introduced this item as a preliminary plat for a Kohl's Department Store located east of Town Centre Drive, west of Denmark Avenue and north of WalMart Department Store. Steve reviewed the parks and trails dedication issues relevant to this proposal indicating staff's recommendation for a cash parks and trails dedication. ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Minutes of January 7, 19993 Meeting Page 2 Water Resources Coordinator Brasch then reviewed the water quality issues relevant to this site. Rich noted that the Commission would need to 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. He continued that there are no wetland filling or draining issues associated with this plat application. Rich noted that the storm sewer layout for this development proposal would direct runoff to pond JP- 66.1, a nutrient basin designed to treat runoff from the WalMart site before discharge to another small sediment basin, then Fish Lake. Staff reported in May, 1991 that additional on-site ponding would be needed for the WalMart development to protect water quality in Fish Lake to meet water quality treatment standards when the remainder of the 27 acre parcel developed. Mr. Brasch continued that 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 development. Mr. Brasch indicated 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. After further discussion, Kevin Knight moved, Erin lpsen-Borgersen seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following recommendations to the City Council regarding Town Centre 70 - 15th Addition: 1. The proposal be subject to a cash Parks Dedication. 2. The proposal be subject to a cash Trails Dedication. Ted Billy moved, Kevin Knight seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following additional recommendations to the City Council regarding Town Centre 70 - 15th Addition: 1. The development be subject to an on-site ponding requirement to meet water quality treatment standards to prevent any further deterioration of water quality to Fish Lake. The design of the on-site treatment pond should be subject to staff approval. WENZEL ADDITION Park Planner/Landscape Architect Steve Sullivan introduced this item indicating the Commission has reviewed this development previously, however significant changes were made to the site plan resulting in the need to bring it back before the Commission. The parcel. is located south of Deerwood Middle/Elementary School and north of County Road 30. When Park Service Area #21 was reviewed previously 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 PSA #21. When the Commission reviewed this development in September, it made recommendations to the developer based on the request for a revised site plan being submitted. Those recommendations included the site plan preserving the oak stand at the northwest edge of the pond, providing for required recreational open space and that the developer examine the potential of a trail encircling the pond. ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Minutes of January 7, 1993 Meeting Page 3 Mr. Sullivan outlined parks and trails dedication issues noting that staff is recommending a cash parks dedication. Relative to trails dedication, it was noted that the Wenzel property has not provided towards the cost of an 8' bituminous trail that currently exists adjacent to the parcel on the north side of County Road 30 resulting in the requirement of a cash trails dedication. Steve continued that the proposal indicates a 25' trail easement within the northeast corner of the plat providing pedestrian linkage to Deerwood Elementary/Middle School which lies north of the parcel. The School District approves this alignment and will provide a concrete sidewalk to the trail easement with the developer being responsible for providing an 8' wide trail pad at finish grade and the City of Eagan being responsible for the installation of the concrete sidewalk. Additionally the site indicates a 30' foot outlot between Lot 5, Block 3 and Lot 1, Block 4. This outlot provides a central pedestrian corridor to Deerwood School, however the steep slopes result in this becoming a non-feasible pedestrian corridor. Staff has recommended that the developer delete the central pedestrian outlot from the plat. Steve added that if greater accessibility to the school from the westerly multi-family area is needed, a future east/west pedestrian link to the future extension of Thomas Lake Road may have merit. Relative to woodland preservation, Steve indicated that the developer has agreed to a custom development approach to Lots 4-8 of Block 5 which lies within the wooded area west and northwest of the pond. Steve continued that the need for 19,000 square feet of open space requirement would be provided for in the plan where there are several large greenspace areas west of the north/south public road. After discussion, Ted Billy moved, Dan Mooradian seconded the motion with all members voting in favor to make the following recommendations to the City Council regarding Wenzel Addition; 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 trai[way 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 be revised to 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. The plan is to be approved by Parks and Recreation staff. 8. The development to include custom grading approach for Lots 10-16, Block 5 to preserve trees on each lot. Water Resources Coordinator Brasch reviewed the water quality and wetland protection requirements for this development. He noted that the site contains 3 wetlands which encompass a total of about 4.72 acres. The largest of the wetlands is a Type 5 open water wetland with a Type 1 bottom-land wooded fringe. This wetland is associated with Pond BP-4 and is approximately 4.45 acres in surface area. The second wetland is .02 acres of Type 2 wet meadow located near the northeastern edge of the first wetland and the third is located in the north central portion of the site,northwest of the Deerwood Elementary parking lot and encompasses approximately .25 acres of Type 1 bottom-land forest. Rich noted that the total wetlands to be replaced would be .28 acres with a replacement option contiguous to BP-4 on the northeast part of the site. Pond BP-4 is used primarily to reduce the pollutant loading to Blackhawk Lake. The developer proposes to use the existing low area at the northeastern limits of Pond BP-4 to expand the wetland area. ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Minutes of January 7, 1993 Meeting Page 4 Rich outlined discussions that had occurred with the developer and City Staff relative to staff working with the developer to excavate and re-shape the remainder of the pond. In response to a question regarding the City's cost in this joint project, Mr. Brasch responded that the City's portion would be approximately 40- 45% of the estimated $40,000 cost. After discussion, Dan Mooradian moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following recommendations to the City Council regarding Wenzel Addition: 1. 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. The developer work with the City to excavate and re-shape the remainder of the pond. Finally the proposed wetland replacement plan be approved contingent on submission of a final wetlands impact and mitigation report and compliance with the requirements of the Wetland Conservation Act. GOLF DRIVING RANGE/REQUEST AND PROPOSAL Director Vraa introduced this item as a new proposal from Rick Kuchera and Ryan Helgeson requesting use of the Lexington\Diffley parkland parcel for a golf driving range for a period in excess of three years. Ken reminded the Commission that they had reviewed a similar request in October of 1992 from Mike King. Director Vraa then introduced Rick Kuchera and Ryan Helgeson. Mr. Helgeson explained their interest in pursuing a golf driving range at this site noting the obvious void of a similar facility in Eagan. It was noted that Mr. Kuchera and Mr. Helgeson will incur all costs of development including site development/construction, seeding/sodding, installation of an irrigation system, on site storage building and any other materials, equipment or supplies required to operate the driving range. Their proposal includes using existing access and expanding parking. Mr. Helgeson expressed their desire to have the best golf driving range in the Twin Cities. In their research Mr. Helgeson continued, they found that although Eagan has two golf facilities they do not have a practice site. The projection is that the facility will generate $30,000+ in revenue in 3.5 years. It is anticipated that the property will be left in better condition than when development starts, the facility will maintain a professional image, offer top customer service and provide multiple benefits to the city. Ryan continued that once the lease term has expired the turf area that remains will be conducive to soccer play or other recreational uses. After the presentation by Mr. Helgeson and Mr. Kuchera, Commission Member Billy expressed his concern for losing a portion of the Lexington Diffley site for approximately 4 summers. Ted continued that if the City Council wanted to develop this site they would not be able to until the summer of 1997 with anticipated use in 1998. Director Vraa clarified that the site needs to be graded no matter what the time frame for development will be. Ken continued that if the site were graded in 1993 in preparation of an athletic facility, those facilities would not be available for use until fall of 1995. Mr. Billy noted that this use could certainly fill a void that currently exists and if permission is granted to proceed the City may discover that a golf driving range is the best use for this location even after the lease has expired. In response to a question regarding when this facility would like to open for operation, Mr. Helgeson responded they wanted to be opened by July 1,1993. Lee Markell asked when a decision would need to be made to which Mr. Helgeson responded February 15 in order to begin seeding by April 15,1993. Ted Billy asked if staff had any reservations regarding the timing for such a project. Director Vraa responded that in reference to softball, staff would be opposed to giving up room on the site where fields may be developed, however, at the present time the City has exceeded the standards set for soccer fields therefore, the golf driving range may ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Minutes of January 7, 1993 Meeting Page 5 be an alternative to placing soccer fields at this time. Superintendent of Recreation Peterson added that currently staff is programming golf lessons in Savage because of the lack of closer facilities that can accommodate the interest. As a result, the numbers participating in golf lessons have steadily declined. Kevin Knight expressed his support for saving costs by working with the County when County Road 30 is upgraded, however, he expressed his concern that this use fit into the overall plan for the site. After further discussion, Kevin Knight moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to recommend that staff work with Mr. Kuchera and Mr. Helgeson on the possibility of a lease to provide a golf driving range at Lexington/Diffley, that a long range site plan be done to help determine if this is an appropriate and needed use at the site, that the cost for electrical hook-up and a 2 inch water supply line be reviewed since these are the costs the City would be asked to incur and that this issue be brought back to the Commission in February. REQUEST FOR NEIGHBORHOOD SKATING RINK Director Vraa introduced this item as a request by Randal Hemmerlin to place a pleasure skating rink near Woodland School off Wescott Road. Mr.Hemmerlin noted that the neighborhoods surrounding Woodland Elementary School have many youth and adults who would benefit from such a skating rink. Mr. Vraa brought the Commission's attention to the letter responding to Mr. Hemmerlin's request in which Mr. Vraa explained that the Advisory Commission will take the request under advisement pending the updating of the Park System's Plan. Ken explained that he had thanked Mr. Hemmerlin for his letter and directed him and his neighbors to enjoy the skating facilities at Bridle Ridge Park which is the closest skating facility. Ted Billy concurred with the response to Mr.Hemmerlin as did other Commission members. Kevin Knight reiterated the importance of proceeding in a timely fashion to update the Park System's Plan. Mr. Vraa responded that he hoped to have a draft of the Scope of Services for the Commission to review at their February meeting. WETLANDS - COMMENTS ON PERMANENT RULES Water Resources Coordinator Brasch reviewed with the Commission the letter sent on behalf of both the City of Eagan and The Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Organization relative to the proposed permanent rules to implement the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991. Rich reviewed the five comments that were shared and outlined in the packet indicating he would have more information for the Commission in February. Kevin Knight asked if the comments expressed in the letter of December 23 were echoed by other cities. Mr. Brasch indicated that the coalition had submitted responses based on 14 issues and they were anxious to hear feedback on those issues. Jack Johnson thanked Rich for the extensive amount of work that has gone into getting this work done and also complemented Rich on his receipt of an Environmental Education Award. Mr. Johnson expressed the Commission's appreciation for Rich's excellent work and the reputation he has earned in being a leader in this field. OAK WILT Superintendent of Parks VonDeLinde updated the Commission on the joint Council/Commission workshop of November 10 where the issue of oak wilt was discussed. John continued. that the primary questions were relative to how a program such as this could be funded. John reviewed the potential sources of funds within the proposed 1993 Forestry operating budget that might be shifted to start this program but he also reviewed the impact to the forestry operations if that were to happen. It did provide, however, an option to consider if the Council chose to proceed with this issue. After reviewing the costs involved John indicated that the Commission could recommend that nothing be done at this time, suggest that a portion of the Forestry budget be used to begin the process by providing a more accurate picture of damage through aerial photography, or the Commission could ask that the City Council look for other means to support this project. ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Minutes of January 7, 1993 Meeting Page 6 Lee Markell expressed his concern that this is an issue that isn't going to get better and that time was of the essence. Mr. VonDeLinde responded that once there is some baseline information, which could be provided through aerial photographs, the City will be better able to look at what needs to be done. John added that we are currently losing 1200-1500 trees a year. Jack Johnson added that the aerial mapping and education would be a good place to start. He suggested approaching the City Council to see if funding can be allocated to at least start identifying and resolving the problems that exist on public property. John VonDeLinde reminded the Commission that this is a disease that requires technical expertise specifically as it relates to diagnosis and treatment. In order to do a good job on this, staff time is needed to get it up and running. After further discussion, Jack Johnson moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to approach the City Council to examine the option of supplemental funding for oak wilt abatement for 1993 with the suggestion that the initial funding be used to provide an aerial inventory of the extent of the disease. 1993 BUDGET UPDATE Director Vraa introduced this item explaining that staff typically updates the Commission on the status of the budget. Ken noted that there was a shift of funds from contractual to salary to allow for the change in status of employees who were previously treated as contractual employees. Ken added that there is a need to cut approximately $20,000 out of the temporary/seasonal budget as well. DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS Superintendent of Recreation Peterson outlined several items including the numbers of skatersthat have been using the rinks, all Tiny Tots classes are filled for the winter session, church youth groups are requesting ice times for their organized use and Eagan Hockey Association ice time has increased due to increased numbers of registrations. Dorothy reiterated the need to balance open skating with the requests for organized use. Parks Superintendent VonDeLinde reviewed the ongoing process of updating the Landscape Ordinance which will be brought before the Commission in February, the mulching of trees and clearing of the native prairie in Thomas Lake Park, lake aeration systems were put in place at Schwanz and Fish Lake and base flooding which began in early December was curtailed due to warm weather but was able to resume to allow for good skating conditions by late December. 'Dorothy Peterson concluded by inviting Commission Members to participate in the Winter Weekend events scheduled for January 29, 30 and 31st. With no further business to conduct, Lee Markell moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded with all members voting in favor to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 10:10 p.m. ZI /Sec reta ry Date MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, PARKS PLANNER/LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT DATE: JANUARY 28, 1993 RE: OAK CLIFF POND 2ND ADDITION Request An application has been received requesting the platting of 23 detached townhouses on 13 acres. The request also includes a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from D-III (Mixed Residential 6 - 12 units/acre) to D-II (Mixed Residential 0-6 units/acre). Background The subject parcel is located west of Slaters Road and south of Cliff Road. The parcel is within the Winkler Jackson Planned Development. The Planned Development Agreement provided a parkland dedication of Slaters Acres Park to fulfill the obligation for the residential land uses within the Planned Development. The Planned Development Agreement also provides for the development of up to 99 units on the subject parcel. A preliminary plat was approved in 1987 for 33 units on this property. A final plat was never submitted. Items for Commission Action The Commission will need to review and make recommendations regarding the following items: 1. What is the parks dedication? 2. What is the trails dedication? 3. What is the developmental impact to the woodland resource? Parks Dedication As mentioned, the parks dedication has been fulfilled in accordance with the Winkler Jackson Planned Development. 1/• Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition January 28, 1993 Page 2 Trails Dedication The Planned Development Agreement is specific to developers responsibility to install a bituminous trail along the east side of Slater Road from Cliff Road to Slater Acres Park. Therefore, the parcel's location west of Slater Road is not responsible or trail construction or a cash trails dedication. Woodland Resource The 13 ace site is composed of a 3 acre pond and 10 acres of mature red oak woods. The grading limits include 6 acres preserving 4 acres of woods. This wooded area is platted as outlot B and will be part of a homeowner's association. The loss of 6 acres of oak woods with the development of 23 lots on this 13 acre parcel leaves over 50% of the site unaltered. Approximately 40% of the mature oak woods will be preserved. The densities allowed within this parcel at 99 per the Winkler Jackson Planned Development to 33 according to the previous preliminary plat and now 23 units as currently proposed is providing greater benefit in the preservation of trees. The current proposal also includes the reforestation of approximately 40 trees along the north property line. Staff recommends that the proponent submit a tree protection plan for City review and approval prior to final plat. For Commission Action The Commission may consider the following recommendations: The proponent submit a tree protection plan for City review and approval prior to final plat. SS/nh cc Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation n1/oakdiff.apr r MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION, AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR DATE: JANUARY 28, 1993 SUBJECT: WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS AND WETLAND PROTECTION ISSUES FOR OAK CLIFF POND 2ND ADDITION. PROPOSAL This preliminary plat is for a 23 lot townhouse development on approximately 13 acres within the Winkler Jackson Planned development located west of Slater Road and south of Cliff Road in the NW 1/4 of Section 31 in southwest Eagan (Figure 1). The Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment will also be necessary to lower the intensity of allowable land use on the parcel from D-III (mixed residential 6-12 units/acre) to D-II (mixed residential, 0-6 units per acre). 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 cash dedication requirement to meet water quality -standards as set by the City in it's water quality management plan.,. In addition, there are wetlands issues associated with the plat. WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS The proposed development is located in the furthest upstream reach of drainage basin A. Runoff from the proposed development will discharge to Pond AP-10, a Type 3 shallow fresh marsh classified as a nutrient basin in the City water quality management plan. Pond AP-19 lies somewhat further downstream in Slater's Acres Park, and is designated as a Class 3 scenic recreation water body in the water quality management plan. To prevent any further deterioration in Pond AP-19 as well as to offer some protection to the large wetland complex associated with Pond AP-10, on-site ponding is recommended to meet treatment requirements for this development. Only about 7.4 acres of the 13 acre site will be graded for the development, with much of the ungraded area lying adjacent to the pond. However, about 2.6 acres of the development is planned to drain directly to the pond from the entrance street (Figure 2). Ponding to treat this runoff is not feasible because of the steep hillside between the road and the pond, and modification of the grades to change drainage of this area toward the proposed treatment pond, while not impossible, would be very expensive and disruptive to adjacent downslope woodlands. To compensate, an 1~ over-sized detention basin should be constructed to provide a higher level of treatment for runoff from the remaining 4.8 acres of the area to be developed. To meet these standards, the detention basin must have a volume below normal water level of at least .7 acre-feet and a minimum average depth of at least 3 feet, and the design should be subject to staff approval. In adition, a sump should be constructed just off the flared end of the storm sewer pipe entering Pond AP-10 from the north to help reduce the amount of large-grained material entering the wetland. WETLANDS ISSUES As requested by City staff, a field survey was conducted on January 7, 1993 by the developer's consultant to identify and delineate wetlands on the development parcel. The only wetland located and delineated on the site was the one associated with Pond AP-10. This wetland is characterized as a Type 3 shallow fresh marsh approximately 3.4 acres in area and located on the eastern half of the property (Figure 2). The developer does not plan to fill, burn, or drain the wetland. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the proposed development be required to provide a pond on site to treat stormwater runoff from the southern portion of the site. The treatment pond design should be subject to staff approval and have a wet pond volume of at least .7 acre- feet and a minimum average depth of 3 feet. A sump should be excavated just off the flared end of the storm sewer entering Pond AP-10 from the north. Finally, filling or draining of Pond AP-10 or the adjacent wetland is prohibited.

NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER DATE: DECEMBER 21, 1992 RE: PONDVIEW TOWNHOMES Request An application has been made requesting the rezoning of 11.3 acres from Agricultural to R-3 Townhomes and the preliminary plat of 34 units. 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 The parcel is within Parks Service Area # 21. This P.S.A. is currently not served with a public park. The Commission has reviewed the parkland need within this P.S.A. with the platting of Deerwood Middle School. The Commission recommendation was to determine the parkland need for the P.S.A. at the time land use was designated for an 80 acre parcel located at Diffley and I- 35E. It currently is not determined whether this parcel will be a commercial or residential land use. The updating of the Comprehensive Parks Systems Plan may also provide the opportunity to evaluate P.S.A. #21. The developer has built similar subdivisions in other communities. Based on these developments it appears that the typical resident is an empty-nester and/or single adults. The developer's experience. is that there are few children with his other subdivisions. Staff recommends a cash Parks Dedication. Item #2 Trails Dedication The proposal is subject to a cash Trails Dedication. Item #3 Woodland Resource The vegetative character of the site is primarily small, secondary growth covering a majority of the parcel. Most of this plant material is insignificant and will be lost with development. Larger /7` boxelders and elms line the western pond edge. These trees are proposed to be preserved with development. Staff feels that these tree masses are important in that they provide a naturalized setting for the pond. Tree removal adjacent to the pond edge, similar to that by Pilot Knob Road, would have a negative visual consequence. Staff recommends that the developer provide a tre protection plan indicating temporary fencing adjacent to these shoreland trees during construction. A 48" cottonwood exists within the northwest corner of the site. The cottonwood is proposed to be removed. The cottonwood's location and elevation along with the proposed density and limited site configuration make it extremely difficult to preserve this tree. A storm sewer is proposed along the east property line adjacent to the Ronald Bruestle property. This storm sewer alignment is close to a tree mass adjacent to the pond. This existing tree mass provides an effective buffer between these differing land uses. Staff recommends that the development plan preserves these trees. 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 feel 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 34 units of multiple at 200 square feet equates to 6,800 square feet. Adequate greenspa exists adjacent to the unit central to the site and with minor grading could accommodate the recreation open space requirement. For Commission Action The Commission may consider the following recommendations: - The proposal be subject to a cash Parks Dedication. - The proposal be subject to a cash Trails Dedication. - The developer revise the grades adjacent to the central unit providing a minimum of 6800 square feet of flat recreation open space. - The developer provide staff with a tree protection plan prior to final plat which locates fencing to protect significant trees during the construction time frame. - The site plan preserve the trees adjacent to the single family home providing the area a buffer between the adjacent differing land uses. The site plan preserve the trees adjacent to the pond. cc. Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation COMMISSIONPONDVIEW. DED MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR DATE: JANUARY 27, 1993 SUBJECT: WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS AND WETLAND PROTECTION ISSUES FOR PONDVIEW TOWNHOMES - GOOD VALUE HOMES INCORPORATED PROPOSAL This preliminary plat is for a 27 unit townhome complex on approximately 12.5 acres located along the north side of Englert Road, west of Pilot Knob Road, in the southeast 1/4 of Section 16 (Figure 1). The land is currently zoned for agricultural uses and will be rezoned to an R-3 (Townhouse) zoning classification. 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. In addition, there are wetland impact issues and a proposed wetland replacement plan associated with this plat application. WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS This proposed development is located in drainage basin J. Runoff from the development will discharge to pond JP-3, a 10-acre wetland classified as a sediment basin in the city's water quality management plan (Figure 2). Pond JP-3 is directly connected with Fish Lake, one of the city's top water quality management priorities. Water quality modeling indicates that with no treatment of stormwater, post-development runoff from the 6.1 acres of developed area would increase phosphorus loading to Fish Lake by only about .3% and would not affect nutrient concentrations in a way which is detectable. A hypothetical pond of approximately .23 acres in surface area and .56 acre feet in volume would be required to treat the runoff before discharge to pond JP-3. While it is physically possible to create an on-site treatment pond, creation of such a pond would be very disruptive to the proposed site plan and possibly incompatible with economically feasible development of the site. More importantly, the city will IR' soon begin a diagnostic treatment feasibility study on Fish Lake to determine the cause of, and develop a plan to rectify, poor water quality conditions in the lake. Pond JP-3 provides a reasonably good buffer between Fish Lake and the proposed development and staff's judgement is that improvements in other portions of the watershed will be much more cost effective in reducing phosphorus loading to Fish Lake. Thus, a cash water quality dedication in lieu of ponding might be most appropriate. Particulate inputs to the wetland associated with pond JP-3 could be minimized by requiring construction of sumps off each of the two storm water inlets in the proposed development site. A cash dedication could be revised downward to account for a credit associated with construction of these sumps. WETLAND IMPACTS ISSUES Over half the site (6.4 acres) is occupied by a pond/wetland .complex. Pond JP-3 is classified as a protected water by the Minnesota DNR and activities which would alter the cross sectional area below the ordinary high water mark are regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. No such activities are proposed as part of this development. Adjacent to the DNR protected wetland is a fringe wetland. This fringe wetland was delineated throughout the development site on November 11, 1992 by a consultant hired by the developer. The developer has proposed to fill approximately 230 square feet of this fringe wetland to allow placement of two townhouse units in the northern portion of the site between the noise reduction berm along Highway 35E on the west side of the site and the wetland on the east side of the site. In response to a request from the city for documentation that filling of the wetland was necessary and unavoidable, the developers consultant submitted the following in a letter dated December 8, 1992. "The design of the site was laid out to avoid impacts to the DNR wetland and the seasonally flooded wetlands. A 50 foot setback has been maintained from the DNR wetland and the seasonably flooded wetlands have been avoided except for a small area where the separation between the wetland and the noise attenuation berm is reduced to 80 feet. Failure to fill this area would result in the loss of building units 1, 2, 3, and 4, and a toss of approximately $400,000 in revenue." Replacement for the filled wetland area would be on-site and in- kind. The mitigation area would be located as shown on Figure 2 and would be excavated to the elevation of the existing wetland fringe to create a substrate and gradient that would allow sedges in the fringe to expand. Replacement would be supervised by a qualified contractor. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the proposed development be required to provide a cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding to meet water quality treatment requirements. Excavated sumps of at least 80 cubic yards should be created at the end of each storm water pipe entering the wetland from the development. The cash dedication will be reduced commensurately to provide a credit for the area and volume of these sumps. Because of the small area of fill proposed and the steps that the developer has taken to minimize filling, the proposed wetland replacement plan should be approved as proposed.

Background The site is located south of Deerwood Drive and east of Blackhawk Drive. The Commission has previously reviewed this proposal and recommended a cash parks and trails dedication. The current proposal adds one more lot within the parcel. The additional lot does not provide any significant influence to the Commission's previous recommendations. The proposal is being returned to the Commission primarily for Water Quality review. For Commission Action The Commission may consider the following recommendations: The proposal be subject to a cash parks dedication. The proposal be subject to a cash trials dedication. SS/nh cc Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation nl/deerhawk.apr MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION, AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR DATE: JANUARY 28, 1993 SUBJECT: REVIEW OF WETLAND PROTECTION ISSUES FOR DEERHAWK ADDITION-DAKOTA STATE BANK PROPOSAL This preliminary plat application is for a single family residential development consisting of six lots on 2.4 acres located along the southside of Deerwood Drive in the southeast 1/4 of Section 20 (Figure 1). The Commission previously reviewed this development for compliance with water quality and wetland protection requirements at its September 1992 meeting. At that time, the developer was proposing to.subdivide the parcel into five lots instead of six, as is now proposed. FOR COMMISSION REVIEW The Commission is being requested to review its previous recommendations on both water quality and wetlands protection issues. WATER QUALITY ISSUES REVIEW At the September 1992 meeting, the Commission recommended that the developer be required to provide a cash dedication to satisfy water quality requirements for the parcel. This recommendation appears applicable to the current development proposal as well, except that the cash amount should be adjusted upward slightly to account for the increased impervious area associated with the addition of an extra lot. WETLANDS ISSUES REVIEW The Commission also authorized filling of up to 1500 feet of a wetland on the site, provided the filled wetland area was replaced on the site at a ratio of at least 1:1 to meet the requirements of the state Wetlands Conservation Act. This authorization was recommended to avoid destruction of a number of mature oak trees toward the rear of Lot 3, which would have occurred if the house pad had been moved to completely avoid wetlands impacts. It was also predicated on the existence of adequate space in the northwest corner of the site to expand the existing wetland to the west to meet replacement requirements. 1 It has recently come to light that the developer did not delineate the limits of the wetland on the site, as had been recommended by City staff. A wetland area had.been designated on the most recent site plan available to staff at the time of review (Figure 2), but it has been learned that this was a hypothetical, rather than an actual wetland limit. Field reconnaissance of the site by City staff indicate that the wetland on the site may be significantly larger than the one designated on the original site plan. Thus, there is some question whether there will be adequate space on the site to replace the filled wetland area without impacting the current site plan. Since the current owner of the site intends to sell the parcel to a developer after plat approval is obtained from the City, it seems reasonable that the spatial feasibility of meeting the wetland replacement requirements on the site should be assured so that the City, the present owner, and the future developer are all aware of what is needed to comply with the state Wetlands Conservation Act. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the Commission consider the following: 1. Require that the City be supplied with an accurate, documented delineation of all on-site wetlands and that a wetland replacement plan be prepared and approved by the City prior to preliminary plat approval 2. Attach to the preliminary plat.a condition that neither a field delineation of wetland(s) on site or a replacement plan has been completed for the parcel, and that authorization to fill up to 1, 500 square feet of the wetland is contingent on submission and approval of the delineation findings and a replacement plan after preliminary plat but prior to approval of the final plat. The developer should be required to provide a cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding to meet water quality requirements.

This $4,000 grant is intended to fund an innovative project of tree planting for energy conservation on a neighborhood-level basis. For the purposes of this project, the Lexington Square subdivision was selected over other neighborhoods for reasons previously cited to the Commission. Under the provisions of the grant each homeowner in Lexington Square will be asked to plant two tree seedlings, along with Tubex tree shelters in strategic locations in their yard to promote energy conservation. The seedlings and tree shelters will be provided free of charge to the homeowners. This program is unique insofar as it uses small planting stock (but in high quantity) combined with Tubex tree shelters which are believed to significantly accelerate tree growth. The long-term goals of this project are to learn more about: 1) The environmental impact of tree planting for energy conservation on an entire neighborhood, and 2) The feasibility of using seedlings and tree shelters in large scale projects in an urban setting. To deliver this program to the community, staff will be sending a preliminary mailing to each home in the Lexington Square neighborhood on February 1st of this year. Getting homeowners to think in terms of tree planting for energy conservation will be the main purpose of the letter. A description of the benefits of tree planting for energy conservation, overview of the Minnesota Releaf Program, and how projects are selected will also be discussed in the letter. A second mailing will reach homeowners by March 15th. This letter will clearly spell out the steps for individual participation in the Lexington Square project. A thorough description of available species, informational material about Tubex tree shelters, and a request form/thumbnail sketch sheet will be included. Residents will fill out the sketch sheet showing the proposed planting site and species in relation to the placement of the house on the lot. This request form/site plan will be returned to the Forestry Division by April 1st. 1 Each request for trees will be reviewed on-site by the City Forester. A third letter will be sent (when planting stock becomes available) providing residents with planting and tree care instruction. This final letter will also inform residents when and where their trees and Tubex shelters can be picked up. The City will also provide a source of woodchips to residents for use around their new trees. Northview Park is a likely location for the distribution. But, this project does not end when the trees are planted. Forestry staff will continue to monitor planting success and growth rates by a combination of on-site inspections and surveys over the next several years. Planting success and tree growth rate are not difficult to measure. Long-term energy conservation, however, will be more difficult to quantify, but even the occasional visitor to this neighborhood will appreciate the aesthetic contributions made by these trees. If you have any questions concerning this project please contact John VonDeLinde or me at 681-4300. Tom Schuster City Forester TS/nab 7b:aprnrc.025 2 . MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: FEBRUARY 1, 1993 RE: GOLF DRIVING RANGE UPDATE Background At the January Advisory Commission meeting, the Commission gave tentative approval for the use of the Lexington/Diffley site for use as a golf driving range. That tentative approval was conditioned on the fact that use of the site would not be beyond 1996. Additional concern of the Advisory Commission was for the cost involved for providing the electrical service to the golf driving range and the water utility connection. Staff has now reviewed those costs. The Eagan City Council will be reviewing the request at a workshop session on February 2, 1993, preceding the normal Council meeting. Because of the agenda workload of the Council, staff accelerated this item onto the Council's agenda for February 2, to get a preliminary reading and further work direction for staff and the Advisory Commission. Utility Cost Operations supervisor, Rich Pelletier, reviewed cost estimates for providing water and electrical service. This information is based on research done with the city's water utility division and electrical service being provided to the U.S. West Cellular facility now being constructed at Lexington/Diffley site. Without a specific site plan these cost estimates may change but are based on reasonable estimates for providing the service based on concept plans. Cost for providing water service includes connecting to an existing water main, installing gate valve, tee, water meter and service bends. If the work were to include installation of 200 feet of 4" ductile iron pipe from the existing hydrant to the proposed facility location, the costs would be approximately $6,300.00. This cost could be reduced by approximately $3,800.00 by eliminating the installation of 200' of ductile iron pipe and substituting that for plastic pipe with the requirement that this be installed by the proponents of this proposal. Verbal estimate has been supplied by an electrical contractor of $1,500.00 for 100 amp service located at the proposed driving range. This amount could be less depending upon where Dakota Electric will allow electrical supply to be tapped into. Greater review needs to be done on this project subsequent to the determination of the electrical service to the U.S. West Cellular building project. City Council Comments As mentioned in the background information, the City Council will be reviewing the issue of the Lexington/Diffley site for a golf driving range at their pre-Council workshop session on Tuesday evening. Staff will be in attendance at that meeting to provide you with background on the City Council's discussion regarding this proposal. Council may request additional information from staff and Commission regarding this proposal. For Commission Review The Advisory Commission should review the cost associated with this project and provide additional direction to staff and/or respond to City Council directives regarding this request. KV/dj COMMISSIONAPRCOLRMEM MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: FEBRUARY 1, 1993 RE: STRUCTURING THE ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission members had been notified by the City Administrator of the City Council's discussion at their regular meeting of January 19, 1993, regarding the appointments and consideration to be given to the restructuring of the Advisory Commission. Attached to this memorandum is correspondence providing additional background about this restructuring. Alternatives It appears that there are several alternatives for the Advisory Commission to discuss and consider in making their comments and findings known to the City Council. These alternatives are as follows: A. Leave the Commission as it currently exists. B. Expand the Commission to a greater member. C. Re-structure the Commission duties and provide for two separate and distinct City Commissions; one for Parks and Recreation and another for Natural Resources. D. Restructure the Advisory Commission to include a sub-committee of non- Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission members with the sole purpose of reviewing environmental issues. The Advisory Commission would remain intact as a seven member commission (or could be expanded to include additional members) with members of the A.P.R.N.R. serving on the sub- committee. It would be appropriate for the Advisory Commission to review each of these alternatives and discuss the pros and cons as to the structuring of the Commission in each of the various alternatives. The Commission may consider other alternatives. In reviewing the alternatives, the Advisory Commission should also review how the structuring would be proposed in terms of work flow, interrelationships with other City Commissions, staff and public agencies. For example, if the Advisory Commission recommends, and the City Council adopts two separate commissions, what would be the work flow for a developer proposing a preliminary plat? Would that plat go first to the Advisory Planning Commission, then the Natural Resource Commission and then the Parks Commission or other work flow? For Commission Action To present their findings and recommendations to the City Council in regards to the restructuring of the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resource Commission.

Appointments are being delayed to allow consideration to be given to a restructuring of the Commission as it presently exists. Approximately two years ago, the City Council added natural resources to the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission. Following the interviews held on January 12, the City Council discussed various alternatives that would allow the City to utilize the excellent talent interviewed that evening. The City Council has identified a number of environmental issues and would like to involve volunteers from the community to help achieve the many goals. The management team will address alternatives for the restructuring of the APRNRC, discuss the alternatives with the Commission at their next regular meeting on February 4, and present the findings for Council consideration at the February 16 meeting. Appointments will be made at that same meeting following a determination by the council as to how the Commission should be structured in the future. On behalf of Mayor Egan and the City Council, I want to thank you for your interview and interest in serving the community and recognize any inconvenience in attending the January 19 meeting only to learn that appointments would not be made that evening.

MEMORANDUM TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: JANUARY 14, 1993 RE: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Issue Your recent memo asked for an immediate response regarding the Council discussion about the restructuring of the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission into two separate commissions or into distinct sub-committees. Discussion and Background You will recall that throughout much of the 1980's, the Advisory Commission was a ten member body. After the election of Vic Ellison as mayor, the Council reduced the Commission to seven members plus one alternate. In 1990, the Advisory Commission, after several meetings to review the issue, recommended that the Commission become known as the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission. Attached is background material and a mission statement that relates to that name change prepared by George Kubik, Chairperson of the Advisory Commission. The history of the Advisory Commission has been one of deep involvement in environmental issues. In 1982, when the Advisory Commission undertook the Parks Systems Study, the Commission was a strong advocate for the section on Ponds and Lakes in the Parks Plan. Their concerns were for identification of those significant lakes that were natural resources and would be enhancements to the City and the Park System. They recognized the interrelationship of having quality natural resources which would lend themselves to development of recreational opportunities. Shortly after that, the Advisory Commission took to the City Council a recommendation to create a compost site. At that time, the issue of landfill abatement and waste reduction was not a major issue as it is today. The Commission literally was the forerunner of the compost program in Eagan. In 1985, the Commission recommended that the City adopt a landscape policy. They further went on to recommend that the City adopt a landscape ordinance, which is in its final stages of staff review. With the development of the Water Quality Management Plan, it was members of the Advisory Commission who took a lead role in its development. Finally, the Commission has been concerned about the oak wilt problem and the development of a master street tree planting plan. In short, the history of the Advisory Commission over the last decade has been a deep involvement in a broad range of environmental issues. This concern is likely to continue given the make up of the current Commission. In fact, if the City Council were to come the conclusion that two commissions were desirable, I would not at all be surprised if at least two, if not more, current commission members would prefer to serve on the Natural Resource Commission. Given that there are so many excellent candidates to serve on the Parks and Recreation Commission and, given the large range of issues that the Advisory Commission is currently dealing with, I would like to suggest that the Council consider expanding the Commission back to ten members. I believe this would be beneficial for a number of reasons. First, it would take advantage of those people who are genuinely interested in serving on the Advisory Commission and obviously have a talent. Two, it would avoid the potential conflicts that two Advisory Commissions might have in reviewing issues that are so dramatically inter-related. I believe that has been one of the advantages of the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission over the last several years. The Commission has grown to understand and appreciate the issues having to do with environmental preservation and protection, the need for recreation and parks opportunities; and how these blend together: Third, it would avoid a third step for a developer having to present development proposals to a Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission and then a Natural Resource Commission. I believe the Advisory Commission has been able to effectively blend both their concerns for environment and for parks. Those same results may not have occurred if projects were looked at through narrow visions of parks and another for natural resources. The creation of the water quality plan best represents this interrelationship. Blackhawk Park is another example. The Parks and Recreation Commission, shared their concern for environment, and how it would impact the park's design. That may not have happened with two separate commissions. It is clear that it did happen with one commission whose members were adequately educated on the issues of both park needs and environmental concerns. There are similar examples with other park areas in which environmental concerns have played a role in the park's acquisition and design that might have been lost had there been two separate bodies. Fourth, water quality dedication, as part of the state statutes, is contained within Parks Dedication. In essence, water quality and Parks Dedication are viewed as one. Another advantage of having a larger body, rather than two separate bodies, is the effective merging of priorities. Having two commissions establishing separate priorities which overlap in areas such as water, ponds and lakes, and forestry might be even more difficult than it already is. Past commissions have not been hampered by lack of innovation and good ideas; rather, they have been hampered by insufficient resources in which to carry out many of the ideas and programs that have been generated. Therefore, I would recommend a larger body, (ie. ten members) which can be grouped in subcommittees for effective work. Other Items to Consider You will recall that when the City Council did change the membership of the Commission from ten to seven, that the City Ordinance had to be modified before that could take effect. Consequently, the City Council should be aware that an Ordinance amendment would have to be processed. I would defer to City Attorney, Jim Sheldon, as to the procedure requirement, that would need to be followed before such an ordinance amendment is adopted. The Commission itself may have some individual and collective thinking on how they feel about this issue. Given the discussion that lead up to the renaming of the Advisory Commission in 1990 it would be my expectation that the majority of the members would prefer one commission. Nevertheless, you may wish to consider their feelings on the issue. There may very well be members of the Advisory Commission who would like to serve on a Natural Resource Commission if they were forced to decide between two commissions. You had asked for some quick comments and perspectives on this issue. I have tried to provide that to you but I feel that I may have, in my haste, n1 provided you with enough. I would be happy to discuss this further, and to provide additional information concerning the current make up of the Commission, how expansion could lead to appointing new individuals and how we can meet some of the objectives inherent in developing a strong Natural Resource/Community Awareness Educational Program. In Summation The City once had a ten member Commission.. The Commission has had a long history of involvement in environment issues, and continues to speak aggressively about environmental issues. The environment is deeply inter-related with park and recreation opportunities. Members of the Commission may have their own feelings about separating into two different Commissions; at least two members may be interested in serving on such a Commission if established. An ordinance amendment would probably be required to change the structure of the Commission. KV/dj D2COMMDN.MEM ko .

KV/dj D2PSPSCOPE.OLN MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION, AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: JOHN K. VONDELINDE, SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS DATE: JANUARY 28, 1993 SUBJECT: PROPOSED LANDSCAPE AND TURF ESTABLISHMENT ORDINANCES, AND TREE PRESERVATION POLICY The purpose of this memorandum, and the documents which follow, is to request the input and review of the Commission on several new policies being presented by staff which relate to tree preservation and landscaping in new developments. BACKGROUND In June, 1990, the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission recommended, and the City Council adopted, a series of changes to the City's "post-development" landscape and tree maintenance ordinances. Specifically, these included an updating of the City's shade tree disease ordinances, the adoption of a new ordinance governing turf establishment and erosion control on newly developed lots, and a new program for allowing the planting of trees within public road right-of-way areas under a permit system administered by the Forestry Division. Recognizing an interest of the City to refine and expand the "post-development" ordinances, as well as establish more clearly articulated policies for landscaping and tree preservation in new developments, a "Landscape Committee" was formed in November to develop and review new landscaping and tree preservation policies. That committee consists of representatives from the Parks/Forestry, Community Development and Public Works/Engineering Departments, as well as the Assistant City Attorney and a planning consultant. As a result of the Committee's work effort, three new draft environmental policies have been developed. They are: • New landscaping regulations under Chapter 11 (Land Use Regulations) of the City Code, • New regulations governing lawn establishment and maintenance under Chapter 10 (Public Protection) of the City Code, and • A new tree preservation and replacement policy. A brief description of each of these environmental policies is described in the sections which follow. LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE A copy of the proposed landscape ordinance is provided on pages j through of the packet. This ordinance represents a final draft of the policy which has been adopted by the Advisory Planning Commission and is being recommended for ratification by the City Council. This policy will apply to all new developments with the exception of single-family developments. It is the intention of the Landscape Committee to develop specific recommendations pertaining to single family developments following the adoption of the zoning controls. As the Commission may know, the current ordinance does not place any specific quantitative standards on developers for landscaping within new developments. The code merely requires that a landscape plan be approved by the City, which indicates the size, location, quantity and species of all plant materials. While the use of general design parameters and City staff review has worked well in most instances, it is the consensus of the Landscape Committee that a more comprehensive landscape policy will be more effe ;,.ive towards ensuring long-term quality landscaping and equity among all new developments. Among the items addressed within the new landscape ordinance are the following- 1 ~5I. • Findings, purpose, and scope of the landscape ordinance, • Landscape plan requirements, • Performance guarantee requirements, • Definitions of terms, • Minimum landscape requirements, • Standards for parking lot islands, slopes and berms, • Maintenance and erosion control requirements, • Turf establishment and tree preservation requirements (references to other policy statements), • Landscaping requirements along freeway corridors, • Irrigation system specifications, • Requirements for screens and buffers, and • Control of tree planting on public property/right-of-ways. As this list would indicate, the new ordinance develops a broader and more specific set of standards as it pertains to landscaping within multi-family, commercial, and industrial land use developments. Because the zoning controls are under the purview of the City's Planning Commission, the APRNC need not take any specific action on this item. The Planning Commission has already approved the proposed Landscape Ordinance at their regular meeting on January 26th. The ordinance will be advanced to the City Council on February 2nd and is expected to be adopted at that time. LAWN ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE As a matter of history, the Parks and Recreation Department, through its Maintenance Division has overseen the City's Nuisance Weed enforcement and Turfgrass Establishment Ordinance since the early 1970's. In June, 1990, the City Council adopted changes to the Turfgrass Ordinance which placed new requirements on private property owners, mandating the establishment of suitable turfgrass on all front, side, and maintained rear lot portions of any private property within one year of grading or final occupancy, whichever is sooner, and that all turf be maintained at a height of not more than six inches. The code also requires control of all nuisance and noxious weeds. While those elements of the code have been implemented successfully, there is a growing interest among property owners to develop woodland or meadow restorations on their property. The primary interest in making these landscape modifications is to enhance the environmental and aesthetic quality of the property while reducing long-term maintenance needs. Unfortunately, the current. ordinance is silent on the issue of meadow or woodland restoration. At times, this has created difficult situations for staff in interpreting what is "appropriate" ground cover treatments between differring land uses and varying perceptions of adjacent property owners. In response, the Landscape Committee has prepared a new series of draft provisions that would essentially replace the existing language in Section 10.21 Subd. 2 and 4 of the City Code. These new provisions would more clearly define the standards governing turf establishment and maintenance, and would allow for the restoration of meadow or woodland areas under certain prescribed parameters and procedures. An ordinance adopted earlier this year by the City of Minnetonka was used as a model for this revision, but it also incorporates existing policies, guidelines, and social/environmental conditions which are germane to the City of Eagan. A copy of the draft Turf Establishment and Maintenance 2 5\ Ordinance can be found on pages through for the Commission's review. As currently proposed, the new ordinance would contain the following pro ons: • A preamble of findings, purpose, and scope • Definition of terms • Application of standards (Note: This ordinance will apply to both developed property and property which has received development approval from the City.) • Establishment standards and timelines • Exceptions for areas restored to woodland or meadow conditions • Specific parameters and requirements for woodland or meadow restorations, • A definition of areas for which turf establishment does not apply (e.g., natural areas), and • A declaration of public nuisances. In summary, the proposed Turfgrass Ordinance is considered to be a less strict but more reasonable approach to restoring and maintaining the natural landscape of the community. This new policy will offer the public an opportunity to select less intensively maintained, and more environmentally acceptable, methods of landscape treatment. Since the enforcement of this ordinance is currently under the jurisdiction of the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Department, it would be appropriate for the Commission to approve, modify, or deny the proposed final draft of the Turfgrass Establishment and Maintenance Ordinance. TREE PRESERVATION AND REPLACEMENT POLICY The City of Eagan does not currently have a specific ordinance, policy, or guideline which addresses standards for the preservation and/or replacement of trees within new developments or building sites. To date, most tree preservation initiatives have been worked out between developers, builders, and staff through a negotiation process. As the Commission is aware, tree preservation measures have been approved by the APNRC in the review of preliminary plats and development proposals. However, these conditions and requirements are not founded in any specific ordinance or public policy doctrine of the City. Lacking this, the Landscape Committee has placed high priority on the creation of a Tree Preservation and Replacement Policy which is applicable to all new developments and new building construction. The proposed policy takes into consideration model ordinances from a number of communities, including Apple Valley, Plymouth, Eden Prairie, and Lakeville. Given the length and detail of this document, and its application to both subdivisions and already planted property, the Committee has agreed that it be referenced in the framework of a policy guideline and not in ordinance form per se. This will avoid duplication within the ordinance and allow greater flexibility to staff in the interpretation and future modification of the policy to meet the changing needs of the community. A copy of the proposed tree preservation policy can be found on pages through 1 of the packet. In its basic form, the policy requires developers and builders to preserve any significant trees and woodland masses within the "land alteration zone" of the site. This area is defined to include any area in which movement of earth, alteration of topography, soil compaction, or other change in the natural character of the land occurs as a result of site preparation and grading, construction or any other activity. The policy, as currently written, does not require the preservation or replacement of trees which are occupied by the building pad. The Landscape Committee is currently discussing mitigation requirements, if a-', that would apply to the area of a site occupied by parking lots, driveways and other impervious surfaces. A ~ J% replacement ratio may be found to be the most practicable and reasonable standard for those areas. 3 53. The following elements are contained within the proposed Tree Preservation Policy. • A statement of intent, purpose, and application, • Definition of terms, • Written tree preservation plan requirements, • Identification of measures to protect significant trees, • Procedures for staking and review of tree protection measures, • Financial guarantee requirements, • Requirements for removal of all nuisance or diseased trees prior to construction, and • Procedures for final inspection and release of securities. Lastly, the Tree Preservation Policy includes a tree replacement schedule. The policy would require the developer to replace every significant tree lost during construction with two deciduous and/or coniferous trees meeting the minimum site requirements of the City, and to guarantee any replacement tree for a period of one year following its planting. The Tree Preservation Policy has been discussed in concept at two meetings of the Landscape Committee, but will require additional review before a final draft is prepared. At this point, it appears that the City Forester will be charged with the review, coordination, and monitoring of the Tree Preservation Plans. In light of this, and in accordance with the Commission's previous review and approval of Tree Preservation Plans (for recent plats), it would be appropriate for the Commission to comment on the intent, purpose, and conditions which are outlined in the proposed policy. Following the Commission's input and subsequent review by the Landscape Committee, it is the intention of staff to bring this item before the APRNC, at their March meeting, for approval of a "final" draft. FOR COMMISSION ACTION 1. To approve, modify, or deny the proposed Turf Establishment and Maintenance Ordinance. 2. To review and comment on the proposed Tree Preservation and Replacement Policy. ohn K VonDeLinde Superintendent of Parks JKV/sb cc: Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation Tom Colbert, Director of Public Works John Hohenstein, Assistant to the City Administrator 31wp:advis.027 3 4 ORDINANCE NO. 2ND SERIES AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EAGAN, MINNESOTA, AMENDING EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER ELEVEN ENTITLED "LANDUSE REGULATIONS (ZONING)" BY AMENDING SECTION 11.10, SUBD. 15, REGARDING REGULATION OF THE PLACEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF TREES AND LANDSCAPING; AND BY ADOPTING BY REFERENCE EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER 1 AND SECTION 11.99.

Egan Its: Clerk Its: Mayor Date Ordinance Adopted: Date Ordinance Published in the Legal Newspaper: Date of Advisory Planning Commission Hearing: -11- 5 . Section 1. City Code Section 10.21 Subdivisions 2 and 4 are repealed and a new Section 10.21 Subdivision 2 is added to the City Code to read as follows: Special Provisions - Lawn Establishment and Maintenance 1 Preamble. The City Council finds that there are a variety of landscapes in the City which add diversity and a richness to the query of life. Certain areas in the City have been allowed to return to a natural condition following development. These have been accepted by the vast majori of City residents as appropriate and as part of the unique quality of life in the community. There are community a cpectations. however. that once an area has been disturbed. landscaped. or otherwise maintained. that the area will continue to be maintained in a consistent manner. When vegetation in that area is not consistently maintained, it becomes aesthetically unpleasing and violates community standards. Proper which appears neglected may decrease the value of adjacent properties. In addition, if vegetation is not properly maintained. there may be the following adverse impacts on public health, safety. and welfare: a. Undesirable vegetation such as common buckthorn. quackgrass. and other weeds may invade and threaten to supplant other more desirable vegetation. Vegetation which causes allergic reactions, such as ragweed. may develop, and Tall vegetation may impair visibility when entering or exiting public roads. driveways or trails. The City Council finds that it is in the public interest to allow property owners to choose the We of landscaping on their properties and to make changes in that vegetation. The Council finds that the establishment of prairie. meadow. and woodland plant communities is an acceptable landscape treatment in the City. As a protection for the larger community, however this change in vegetation must be properly established, managed and maintained and the period of the transition must be minimized. This requires special consideration because weeds may grow during the first few ygars of transition before the new vegetation predominates Therefore. the Council finds that this We of vegetation is acceptable if it is properly maintained to shorten the transition period and if notice is given of the intended result. The City Council enacts this ordinance to balance the public interest in a variety of vegetation with the public need to ensure proper maintenance of that vegetation. The Council finds that establishing a height and area limitation for certain vegetation is in the best interest of the public health, safety. and welfare and constitutes a reasonable maintenance standard. 2 Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following words shall have the meanings specified below. 1 (P 6 "Meadow" is an area of grasses and flowering broad-leaf plants which are native to. or adapted to. the State of Minnesota which are commonly found in meadow and prairie plant communities. except weeds.

MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION PAULA NOWARIAK, RECREATION SUPERVISOR DATE: JANUARY 28, 1993 RE: SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS BACKGROUND Sand volleyball is fast becoming a popular activity for Eagan residents. Currently, there are two sand volleyball courts at Rahn Athletic Park. Staff is exploring options of additional sand volleyball court placement within the city due to the heavy usage by the public and league play at Rahn. The Rahn courts were constructed during the 1990 summer/fall construction season, and ready for league play during the summer of 1991. There were ten teams and one evening of play in 1991, and twenty-one teams and two nights of play in 1992. Currently there is not room to expand nights of play at Rahn because of softball usage, parking problems and the heavy usage by public groups. In addition, there has been a number of requests for sand volleyball courts for general patron use. Staff has looked at a number of potential sites for the courts. ISSUE There is a current need to expand the sand volleyball leagues for the summer of 1993. Staff has explored the idea of utilizing the hockey rinks at Goat Hill Park as sand volleyball courts. Maintenance and recreation staff drew up varied plans that provide opportunities for placing sand volleyball courts within hockey rinks. PROPOSAL The proposal to fill this need of providing sand volleyball is to bring in 10 - 12" of sand into a hockey rink. The sand would be removed before the start of the skating season so as not to interfere with the skating season. DISCUSSION As stated earlier, a number of sites were looked at for placement of sand volleyball courts. Northview Athletic was considered but was not proposed because the space that is available would be better used for other amenities for the park. A site at Eagan High was viewed, and determined to be too small. Neighborhood parks in which space might be available lack sufficient parking for sand volleyball activity. 7 Goat Hill Park with placement in hockey rinks is a viable solution to space problems for sand volleyball courts. The rinks can still be used during the winter months, while the summer months will utilize many hours of volleyball fun for residents of Eagan. Goat Hill will accommodate groups, picnics, leagues and casual use. Attached you will find four of the' variations explored. Each option includes a breakdown of costs for materials, labor, equipment, sand removal and installation. The plans include single court layouts with edging, double and three court options without edging. Some courts were laid out side by side, others end to end, while additional options provided east-west orientations. Depressing the courts, by excavating material and then filling in with sand is not a valid option as maintaining ice over 12 inches of sand is not possible. Hollow spots develop and "break-through" is likely to occur. Therefore, this option has not been given any further consideration. The sand that is removed will be either stored on site or used in the winter by the streets department for snow and ice control. RECOMMENDATIONS Recreation and maintenance staff recommend/Option D with double courts and no edging in one. hockey rink. This option, in staff's opinion, provides the best all-around play situation. Goat Hill Park is recommended as the site for the following reasons: 1. The parking lot is large enough to accommodate both baseball and volleyball users. 2. The hockey rinks are lighted which would provide extra game times after sunset. 3. The scheduling of sand volleyball league games can be coordinated with the baseball schedule in order to utilize the building attendant for both activities. 4. Goat Hill Park has two hockey rinks which will provide opportunity for additional courts as sand volleyball expands.

A limited number of barriers were identified at park facilities. Part two of the Federally directed ADA accessibility assessment has been completed. At issue is barriers to participation in city programs. DISCUSSION Facility Barriers: The Department will address the list of required structural changes at the following facilities in 1993: • Trapp Farm Shelter Building: under concrete pad in front of exterior restroom doors. • Goat Hill Shelter Building: widen sidewalk to exterior restroom doors. • Bridle Ridge Shelter Building: lower pull plates on entrance door. • Quarry Shelter Building: subject to cost, may be deferred to 1994, widen the concrete path to exterior restroom doors. Barriers for which structural changes are under study, recognizing that a January 1995 completion date is mandated, include: • Trapp Farm Pavilion: wheel chair accessibility for the drinking fountain. • Sky Hill Shelter Building: alternative to door knobs on exterior restroom doors. • Throughout the system: height of telephones. • Throughout the system: tactile signage. • Carnelian Shelter: vestibule repair. • Throughout the system: location of handicapped parking. Program barriers: The following categories of potential barriers to participation were addressed: • Written materials, tools, equipment and other aids. • Steps to be taken to ensure accessibility in the use of those materials, tools, equipment and aids. • A listing of specific activities or individual elements that comprise a program. • A list of program elements that are potentially inaccessible. • Steps to be taken to ensure accessibility. Staff categorized all Recreation Programs into one of four categories. They are: Adult Athletics, Youth Activities, Lessons and Special Events. Extensive lists of items were generated for each category of inquiry. For example: Youth activities: written material, parent letters, tools, scissors, books, school buses, music jump ropes, etc.; steps to ensure accessibility: nerf balls, volunteer aids, alternate transportation. Specific activities were identified, for example: craft projects, cut, paste, color, listen. Department activities that have the potential to be inaccessible to disabled persons are the adult athletic leagues, field trips due to the use of school buses and perhaps specific destinations as well. The Department lists several alternative actions to obtain accessibility. They include: • Provide alternate sites. • Provide interpreters when requested, utilizing the 96 hour standard. • Solicit volunteer aids. • Provide alternative transportation. The Department has identified a line item in the 1993 budget for ADA related program issues. It is anticipated that initial requests will be for auxiliary aids such as interpreters. This represents official incorporation of what staff have already provided when needed. The unknown piece is what form future requests for providing accessibility to programs will take. Staff will be present to respond to questions the Commission might have. No official action by the Commission is required. COMMISSIONADA UPDAT.MEM ADA RECREATION PROGRAM EVALUATION (Updated from Section 504 Evaluation) January 20, 1993 Introduction Eagan offers a diverse variety of recreation programs through its Parks and Recreation Department. Hence, these programs are evaluated for accessibility under a separate section. The ORS, which stands for Office of Revenue Sharing, rules require that not all the City's programs be accessible, but when viewed in their entirety are accessible and usable by persons with disabilities. This would constitute affording equal opportunity to persons with disabilities. Evaluation The following survey questions were addressed as part of the evaluation and are based on evaluative criteria of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. What publications, regarding programs, are prepared for the general public? City Newsletter, flyers, posters, cable TV bulletins and Recreation Hotline. 2. What recruitment materials are used? Meetings or oral presentations, printed recruitment materials and special program flyers. 3. What are the limitations on the number of handicapped persons that may participate in the program? The City does not limit by policy; however, in practicality an influx of persons with disabilities may limit the number/size of a class. Depending upon the type and degree of disability, additional staff, aids, volunteers and interpreters will be solicited to augment the program, providing training/orientation of staff to handle the disability. 4. What criteria or tests are used in the program admission process? Criteria by age for some programs; e.g. preschool programs and adult softball. 5. What forms are used in the admission process? In-person registration is preferred for all programs and assistance is available on site to complete all required forms and every attempt will be made to register all interested persons. g3. 6. Present a list of all written materials, tools, equipment and other aids used by each program: Adult Athletics Youth Activities Lessons Special Events Letters to parents Rules Flyers Printed local rules Weather information Weather information Program brochures Printed schedule Books Golf clubs PA system Bats Records Golf balls Inner tubes Softballs Crayons Driving range Picnic tables Broomballs Scissors Putting green Fishing poles Broomball brooms Paste/glue Tennis rackets Portable toilet Volleyball Paper Tennis balls Auditoriums 7' net height Playground balls Tennis courts Ampitheatres Basketball Soccer balls Music for dance lessons Recreation Hotline Scorebooks Baseball Ice skates Ice skates Soccer ball Softball Ice rink Shelter buildings Football Bats Shelter buildings Buses Hockey stick Pitching machines Recreation Hotline Puck TV/VCR Cross country skis Skates Jump ropes Ski poles Hoops Cross country ski trail Portable toilet Portable toilet Shelter buildings Tables Pillo Pollo game Field trips - buses Roller skating Ice skating Beaver Mt.

For each inaccessible feature, below are listed steps to be taken to obtain accessibility: Adult Athletics Youth Activities Lessons Special Events Interpreters Provide interpreter when Provide interpreter Volunteer aids if needed Adjust teaching to a requested Secure volunteers if less rapid pace disabled participate Prior notification will Provide alternate sites allow for adaptation of Provide appropriate of equipment transportation Alternate sites 11. No testing is used in the programs. Written form, voluntary, program evaluations are requested from participants or parent/guardian. 12. The City Council has established the Advisory Parks, Recreation Natural Resources Commission and appoints members to this Commission. To ensure equal opportunities for the selection and participation on the Commission by the disabled, openings and program offerings will be placed on the City's TDD system and updated on a regular basis. 13. Listed below are facilities or parts of facilities used during the program: -Parks -Park shelters -Generic community recreation facilities -Council chambers dias 14. The following are provided to persons during their participation in the program: a. Transportation b. Food services c. Social, recreational or athletic services For each, the measures taken to ensure non-discriminatory participation, communication, selection, application or structural access is as follows: Alternative transportation and food services will be provided upon prenotification by participant to any special needs, e.g. rent a lift van, alternative foods selected, and volunteer aids. 5. Using ANSI Standards of Accessibility, listed below for each facility are those inaccessible features limiting the program. (Since structural compliance is discussed in detail in another portion of this report, this section will only apply to facility's inaccessibility as it. affects program access.) Athletics Gravel surface around a restroom building Tennis courts entrance gates are narrow Grassy slopes from some parking lots to courts Youth Activities Nature trails: slopes greater than 5 degrees asphalt or no trails no guide rails on trails 16. Listed below are steps that will be taken to ensure program accessibility when program is "viewed in its entirety" including: a) Relocation: alternate site first preference. Other than relocate, programs could be adapted at site if not cost prohibitive by: 1) adding more groups 2) increased hours 3) add instructors/aids b) preparing for relocation upon notice of needs of a disabled individual: Numerous facilities within the community make alternate sites feasible. c) revising structure or format of activity so as to not need the space in question: With alternate sites available, accessibility can be achieved. d) discontinuing the activity: This is not likely to be done, and would be considered only as a last alternative. e) other measures to achieve accessibility: Co-sponsorship with another community to offer a program. D24DAEVAL.REQ S7. ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION & NATURAL RESOURCE COMMISSION DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS JANUARY 29, 1993 1. Fifty (50) first graders from Northview Elementary School came to Oak Woods on January 26. They recited a poem in unison, read to Seniors (one to one), munched on cookies the Seniors had baked and sipped apple juice provided by the Department. The boys and girls eagerly gave hand-made Valentines to the Seniors. It was interesting to note the hesitancy on the part of the Seniors and the first graders - initially. What fun they all ended up having. There were goodbye hugs, lingering over "one more story" and inquiry from the students whether they could come back. And, they will be back - once a month for the remainder of the school year, thanks to a grant from the Independent School District #196 Youth Connection Council which will cover bussing costs. 2. * « A full roster of 30 youth participated in the winter babysitting/latchkey clinic. 3. * « Forty-five (45) youth grades 3 - 6 are taking part in the Bandy School. A year ago 25 youth were registered. 4. * « The Dakota Civic Theatre's run of "On Golden Pond" ends on February 6. Reports are that the play is excellent. The theatre, in Yankee Square Shopping Center, has taken "form". The seating is very near to the stage. It is an intimate setting. Funding remains the core issue! "Crimes of the Heart" opens on March 5. Call the theatre at 686-7277 to reserve tickets. 5. Cross country ski lessons have been completed. Twenty (20) adults participated; capacity is 36. Valley Bike and Ski provides rental equipment, at a reduced rate. They are the most organized vendor staff has encountered for this sport. Dakota County Parks grooms a beginner loop at Schultz Lake specifically for the Department's classes. 6. * « The 1993 City map has gone to the printer. Once again, the front side of the map is Discover Us! Parks and Recreation facility and program related information. 7. * « The Teddy Bear Band visits Eagan on Sunday, February 28, at 2:00 p.m. Admission is a non-perishable food item for the local food shelf. The event has been moved into the Eagan High School gymnasium (from Dakota Hills Middle School gymnasium) to avoid potential parking problems with the High School's matinee performance of "Encore '93". 8. * « Staff are gearing up to conduct numerous National Youth Sports Coaches Clinics for baseball, softball, soccer and track. Clinics will be held in early April. 9. * « Intern, Dan Schultz, has participated in numerous and varied Department activities. He is directing the 4-Man Hockey League, will conduct the Winter Weekend Ice Fishing event, has observed Parks Maintenance at work, learned from supervisors in the maintenance division, and attended various meetings and workshops with staff. His research project is an update of demographics as they pertain to park service districts. Dan's presentation to the Commission will occur at the March 4, 1993 meeting. 10. The Winter Season has been an active one. The weather has been adequate enough to allow for the warming shelters to be open every day, except two, since opening officially on Tuesday, December 22, 1992. The tubing hill has been busy and sees a large number of groups. Bridle Ridge is almost always overflowing with skaters. Clearwater and Goat Hill remain popular. There have been accidents ranging from cuts and bruises to broken bones. The number of report forms filed to date are: Trapp Farm 24 Bridle Ridge 4 Rahn 3 Ridgecliff 3 Quarry 2 Woodhaven 2 Goat Hill 2 Carnelian 1 Sky Hill 1 Clearwater 1 Staff tries to complete a form for every accident, injury or incident that occurs. Our job is to try to prevent injuries rather than waiting for them to happen. 11. Broomball leagues are busy. Game misconducts are on the rise with four suspensions levied to date. Sportsmanship and taking responsibility for your behavior are stressed, yet incidents continue to arise.. The League Director regularly visits games to observe and promote recreational competition. 12. * « Boot hockey started the season with a suspension, but has since settled down. Weather has not been ideal for Sundays. 13. * Four-Man hockey, also has met some poor weather, but the ice has been much improved over past years. Overall, skaters have enjoyed good ice conditions all season long. Their complaints seem to arise when snow falls during open hours and on Sundays and holidays when no maintenance occurs. Obviously weekends and holidays are the busiest days at the winter recreation sites. 14. Over $1,600.00 has been earned through hot chocolate sales. $1,900.00 has been spent on supplies that should last through the end of the season around mid- February. 15. The Winter Adult Volleyball Leagues are in their fourth week of play. A total of 78 teams are participating. Ten women's power and six men's power play on Tuesday evenings at Dakota Hills Middle School. On Fridays, 40 co-ed recreational teams play at five elementary schools in Eagan. Also, on Fridays, 16 co-ed officiated teams play at Dakota Hills Middle. On February 4, 1993, six men's teams will begin play at the Volleyball Institute of Minnesota near 1494 and Pilot Knob Road in Mendota Heights. 16. * << Park maintenance staff continued routine maintenance (sweeping and flooding- weather permitting) at the city's 32 ice rinks on a Monday through Saturday basis. 17. * Steve Hadden, Park Maintenance Worker, assisted the Eagan Hockey Association with their "Hockey Jamboree" on January 16, 1993. This annual event is held at Rahn Park, and utilizes both hockey rinks for a day long tournament. 18. * « Hockey rink lines were painted on all of the hockey rinks that had suitable ice surfaces, in accordance with the winter maintenance plan. 19. * << Members of the Park Maintenance staff assisted the Street Department in plowing and sanding operations in our continuing tradition of interdepartmental cooperation. Most notable was the assistance Park Maintenance Workers Don Buecksler and Steve Taylor provided during the January 20, 1993 ice storm. 20. * « An anonymous local business has stepped forward to underwrite the cost of producing the 1993 Arbor Day poster for distribution in the elementary schools and at the annual Arbor Day programs. 21. * << The winter lake aeration systems were placed in an operational mode at Fish and Schwanz Lakes on January 28th. Weekly monitoring of the sites indicated rapidly declining oxygen levels as a result of increasing snow depth. 22. * < Kristi Morast, Eagan's MIS coordinator, and Park Maintenance supervisory staff met with representatives of Ultimap, a local software company to explore the Geographical Information Systems (G.I.S.) they offer. There are many operations that could be enhanced by a G.I.S. program, and staff will continue researching the programs available. 23. * « Eagan continued it's role as leader of the South Metro Parks Alliance. This loosely organized group was formed to share pertinent information between neighboring communities. On January 26, Eagan hosted a program on sledding hills. Public sledding facilities were toured in Burnsville, Apple Valley and Eagan. The program ended at Trapp Farm Park with lunch and a presentation by Dave Drugg of Berkley Risk Services discussing ways to reduce risk exposure and public liability while operating municipal sledding hill facilities. COMMISSIONHAPPENI.93 MEMORANDUM TO: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARK PLANNER X11 DATE: JANUARY 25, 1993 RE: LETTER OF RESIGNATION As we have discussed, this is to inform you that effective January 25, I give notice of my resignation to the City of Eagan. I am providing one month notice with my last day of employment scheduled for February 19, 1993. I wish to receive vacation February 16-19. As discussed with Holly Duffy, I will pay for insurance coverage during the period in February in which I am no longer employed with the City of Eagan. Having concluded the business portion of this memorandum I would like to share a description of my future position and a short personal reference of my experience at Eagan. I've been hired. by the Dakota County Parks Department as their Parks Development/Operation Manager. In short, I oversee the development of the Dakota County Parks System and the maintenance division. I failed to mention that I am also responsible for a hydroelectric dam on Lake Bylisby Regional Park. I hope fair notice has been provided for those residing downstream that were will soon be a greenhorn operating the flood gates. My experience at Eagan has been one comprised of sensational projects and more importantly, relationships with talented people. Over the next few weeks I will be spreading my heartfelt thanks to my fellow friends and co-workers. Specific to this memorandum I would like to thank you, Ken,. and the entire Parks and Recreation Department. Your leadership provided me with keen direction and a strong example. You're leadership has inspired and mentored me. Your confidence in me over these nine years has instilled me with a stronger self perception. I always said, You are the best idea man in the business." Although commonly mentioned in jest, the statement is profoundly true. Your extraordinary ability to generate and conceptualize ideas stimulated my creativity and has made me a better Landscape Architect. Some of my best memories are when you and I would sit in your office brainstorming over a particular item, eventually locking in to a strong concept and having this concept evolve into a park design or facility. Eagan is filled with parks and facilities authored by your ideas and creativity. I could go on and on. Thank you, Ken, for making my time in Eagan a time of growth and benefit. I would have preferred to leave at a time when things were slow but thinking back over the past nine years, there has never been a slow period. Projects like the current Comprehensive Park System Plan update, Lexington/Diffley athletic site, PSA 36E, ADA, Landscape Policy, Tree Protection Policy, Blackhawk Park and the typical day to day tasks exemplify the consistently high work load of the Parks Planner/Landscape Architect position and Parks and Recreation Department. It is a comfort to know, as with changes of the past, that the Department will rally as a unified team and take over in my absence. It has truly been a joy to work and develop relationships with you, the Department, City Staff, Commission and Council. My experience and relationships at Eagan have paved the path to this new challenge. For this I am indebted to all of you and offer my humble thanks. SS:cm cc: Tom Hedges, City Administrator Holly Duffy, Assistant to City Administrator Mr. Ken Vraa February 3, 1993 Director Parks & Recreation 3830 Pilot Knob Eagan, MN 55122 Ken; As previously discussed in our meeting on January 27, 1993, I have taken over the Eagan traveling soccer program effective September 1, 1992. In that short amount of time a great many changes have taken place. An eleven member Board of Directors was formed to guide and direct Eagan soccer, now and into the future. The board has had to address immediate problems related to the retention of our more promising players to select teams, coaching requirements, coaches education, and the in-house soccer program. To date the board has interviewed and hired a professional coach to provide 10 hours of instruction with each of our traveling teams, and are currently running a United States Soccer Federation sanctioned '!D" license coarse for our coaching staff. As you can well imagine these programs are both time consuming and bear considerable cost to our program which are then passed onto the players. With the hopes of remaining both competetive on and off the field with surrounding communities, and to attract players to continue in our program, we have had to increase our registration fee $25.00 to $30.00 per player. Our fees will range from $95.00 to $120.00 U10 through U19, respectively. At the time I became Director of Eagan Soccer the program was in debt to the amount of $1300.00. Upon the soccer boards conception we have inventoried all of our equipment while attempting to formulate a budget that can raise us out of debt, teach our players, and provide a cost effective program. We feel that we can accomplish these objectives with our current budget which did not allow for the field usage fee of $60.00 per team. We are not asking that the field usage fee be totally withdrawn but delayed for one year. With the current re-organization we have undergone, we will make the necessary changes that will allow us to provide our children a program worthy of their abilities. The delaying of this fee is necessary in these most trying of economic times to ensure the success of our program. Regards, Wayrfe A. Huot Director Eagan Soccer January 21, 1993 Ms. Dorothy Peterson Parks Superintendant City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122-1897 Dear Dorothy: Thank you for your past help in trying to help me secure a permit to gain entry into one of the fields at the Goat's Hill park to free-run my Afghan Hound. I am writing to appeal the decision. One more try does not hurt. I am willing to pay a fee for this permit. As you say, you are concerned that you will have scads of people trying to get similar permits. I think that if you charged for these permits and put restrictions like picking up after the dogs and any other litter, that it would deter other dog owners except the most serious and considerate. Not too many people are in the same boat I am, with an Afghan Hound (big runners) living in a townhouse. Please rethink this. I can be reached at 696-0140 wk and 454-4018 hm. Tha ks for the consideration. Anna Fredrickson SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT (OAK CLIFF POND 2ND ADDITION) APPLICANT: OCP HOMES INC. LOCATION: OUTLOT B, OAK CLIFF ADDITION & OUTLOT D, OAK CLIFF POND ADDITION EXISTING ZONING: PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 26, 1993 DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 14, 1993 COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted requesting a Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan Amendment changing the land use density from D-III (Mixed Residential, 6-12 units/acre) to D-II (Mixed Residential, 0-6 units/acre) for approximately 13 acres and a Preliminary Plat consisting of 23 detached townhouse lots within the Winkler Jackson Planned Development located west of Slater Road and south of Cliff Road. BACKGROUND: In July 1982 the City Council approved the Winkler Jackson Planned Development. This PD allowed for a mixture of commercial and residential uses. The agreement called for a maximum of 311 housing units west of Slater Road. In March 1984 Oak Cliff Addition was approved with 75 R-1 (single family) lots and nine twin home lots (93 total units) and also a condition specifying the new density for all of the residential area west of Slater Road to be a maximum 231 units. With that condition, potentially 138 units could be developed on the remaining 22 acres for a density of 6.3 units/acre consistent with the R-3 (Townhouse) zoning district. In April 1987 three twin home lots were rezoned to R-1, raising the allowable total number of units west of Slater Road to 141. In 1987 the Oak Cliff Pond Addition was platted as 42 detached townhouse lots and Outlot B (subject site) for future development. With that development, the potential development of 99 units for Outlot B remained. There was also a Preliminary Plat approved for the Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition containing 33 units on Outlot B in 1987; however, the final plat was never submitted, even after preliminary plat extensions in 1989 and 1990. LOCATION/EXISTING CONDITIONS: The 13-acre site is located south of Oak Cliff 6th and 7th Additions which are zoned NB (Neighborhood Business) within the Winkler Jackson Planned Development. Oak Cliff 6th Addition was approved for a reception hall that directly abuts this site on the NW portion of the plat. Oak Cliff 7th contains the new SuperAmerica on the corner of Slater and Cliff Roads and undeveloped property between y,. that building and the subject site. A Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment is necessary to bring the proposed density level into conformance with the Guide Plan. The gross density of the plat is 1.78 units/acre. The applicant is requesting the Guide Plan Amendment to be D-II (Mixed Residential, 0-6 units/acre) due to the unit type and the non-standard lot sizes. The hilly site is currently undeveloped with a large pond (AP-10) located on the eastern portion of the plat. It is covered with significant mature hardwood vegetation. COMMENTS: The applicant is proposing a 23 lot detached townhome development. The 23 lots will take access from two private cul-de-sacs - Westwood Street and Woodhill Court. Both streets act as long singular cul-de-sacs and are over 500' long if measured from the main access point along Slater Road (Woodhill Court approximately 900' long and Westwood Street approximately 950' long). The applicant is proposing to follow the concept of the initial phase of Oak Cliff Pond which has 42 lots and is 75% built. The concept is to provide the privacy and independence of single family ownership with the convenience of the services provided by a townhome development. The existing homeowners' association in Phase I will be expanded to incorporate the 23 new lots and common area. The streets are private and owned by the association. An unbuildable 30' outlot is being provided along the Burnsville border and it is almost 20' wide along the single family area to the south of the second addition. The homes will be similar to those in the Oak Cliff Pond 1st Addition and will range in price from $135,000 to $200,000, whereas homes in the first addition varied in price from $125,000 to $180,000. The homes will have cedar or redwood siding and trim. In 1988 the City amended the Code to require 50% maintenance-free exteriors in R-3 and R-4 zoning districts. The applicant would like to continue the style of the first addition and a variance would be necessary. Roofs are an 8/12 pitch with weathered wood asphalt shingles or wood shakes. Exterior colors are in a complementary range of gray with white trim. The home plans and siting will be adjusted to fit grades. The lots are an average of 5' to 10' wider than those in the first addition to accommodate the existing terrain and to maximize views. It was the intent of the developer to design the lots to reduce the impact on the steep slopes near Pond AP-10 by shifting the lots to the west as far as possible. The applicant has chosen to use retaining walls as a measure to preserve the existing trees, where possible. The site plan also shows a wood chip trail in the NW corner of the lot leading to the church. The existing woods that will remain are generally located along the perimeter of the site. The open area on the north property line where Lots 1-5, Block 2, will be screened as a part of the Oak Cliff 7th Addition and additional landscaping is proposed with this development. The NE side of the entry road adjoining Slater Road will be landscaped. Landscaping of each lot will be included in the purchase price of the home. Each home will include: sod for all yard areas, an underground sprinkler system for yard areas, a shade tree, an ornamental tree, an evergreen and six shrubs in a rock mulch bed with poly edging. PARKS & RECREATION: The parcel is within the Winkler Jackson Planned Development and has previously fulfilled its parks dedication with a land dedication of Slater Acres Park. The Planned Development Agreement is specific in regards to the location of a trailway along the east side of Slater Road. Therefore, this parcel is not subject to a trailways dedication. Staff is currently reviewing the developmental impact to the woodland resource and will be providing this at the February APRNR Commission meeting. GRADING/DRAINAGE: The proposed site consists of wooded and rolling topography with an elevation differential of 70 feet. The low point of the site is the normal water level of the easterly adjacent pond designated as Pond AP-10 in the City of Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. The high point of the site is along the west property line. The proposed grading plan attempts to maintain a 40 to 100 foot undisturbed area along the westerly side of the pond. No grading is proposed below the high water level contour. Also, the grading plan shows that the existing woods along the west property line are to be saved. The grading on Lots 1 through 5 of Block 2 will require the removal of all of the trees on these lots. This will open up the north edge of the plan to the parking lot of the proposed reception hall of Oak Cliff 7th Addition. Also, the steep slopes down from the parking lot to the backyards of the proposed lots makes screening and buffering difficult. The preliminary grading plan shows a maximum of 10 feet of cut which will occur where the proposed private street will be built along the north edge of Pond AP-10. The maximum fill on the site is proposed to be 6 feet. To minimize disturbance to the site, the developer proposes to construct four separate retaining walls. The largest retaining wall will be a two- tier wall with each tier 11 feet high. This wall is proposed to be constructed along the north edge of the proposed private street as the street is constructed along the north edge of Pond AP-10. The developer shall submit detailed plans and specifications covering the construction of the proposed retaining walls with the final grading plan. The drainage from this site is proposed to be intercepted by two separate storm sewer systems. The first system will drain the low point of the private street located at the north end of Pond AP-10. This system will drain 2.0 acres of this site plus 0.6 acres of Oak Cliff 6th Addition directly into Pond AP-10. The second system will drain 3.0 acres of area around the two cul-de-sacs into a new water quality treatment pond that is proposed to be constructed along the west edge of Pond AP-10. The water quality treatment pond will also receive runoff from 1.3 acres of backyard area from this site and 0.5 acres of backyards from the adjacent single-family development to the south. The development will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards. To help prevent erosion into Pond AP-10, the development shall protect the trees and vegetation for a 40 foot buffer strip along Pond AP-10. WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS: This proposed development is located in the furthest upstream reach of Drainage Basin A. Runoff from the proposed development will discharge to Pond AP-10, a Type 5 deep marsh classified as a nutrient basin in the City's Water Quality Management Plan. Pond AP-19 lies somewhat further downstream in Slaters Acres Park, and is designated as a Class 3 scenic recreation waterbody. Largely to prevent any further deterioration in the water quality of Pond AP-19, on-site ponding will be recommended to treat runoff from this proposed development. Because 2.6 acres of the development north of Pond AP-10 will drain directly to this pond without treatment, a slightly larger than normal detention basin will need to be constructed to provide additional treatment for the runoff from the 4.8 acres that will drain to the new water quality treatment pond. The detention basin required must have a volume below normal water level of at least 0.7 acre-feet and a minimum average depth of at least 3 feet. The pond design should be subject to staff approval. There is at least one major wetland complex on the site. The developer will be required to identify and delineate all wetlands on the site, outline the impacts expected with regard to filling or draining, and propose a plan, if necessary, to mitigate any impacts. A short report summarizing the findings will be due by Monday, January 25, if the development proposal is to be reviewed at the February meeting of the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission. Staff will likely recommend that any filling of the Type 5 wetland associated with Pond AP-10 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 has been stubbed to the proposed site from the existing stub street provided by the Oak Cliff Pond development. The preliminary utility plan shows constructing an 8" sanitary sewer around the north edge of Pond AP-10 and then to the west. The sanitary sewer will follow the centerline alignment of the private street system through this plat. Water main of sufficient size, pressure and capacity has been stubbed to the site from the existing stub street in the northeast comer of the site and from the single family development of Oak Cliff 4th Addition to the south. As shown on the preliminary utility plan, the water main shall connect to both stubs and loop through the site. Individual sanitary sewer and water services shall be provided to each lot. The 8" sanitary sewer line and the 6" DIP water main that will serve this site shall be publicly maintained lines built to City standards. STREET/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Access to the proposed site is readily available from a stub street in the northeast comer of the site that was provided by the Oak Cliff Pond development. The stub street is 100 feet from Slater Road, which is a publicly maintained City street. The development proposes to accomplish the internal traffic circulation by the use of private streets. City Code requires the width of the private street to be 28 feet face-to-face as shown on the site plan. The private streets shall be constructed with bituminous surfacing and concrete curb and gutter. RIGHT-OF-WAYS/EASEMENTS/PERMITS: No additional right-of-way for Slater Road will be required as a condition of this development. The proposed Outlot A shall dedicate a ponding and drainage and utility easement over the new water quality treatment pond and over Pond AP-10 up to three feet above the HWL of the ponds. The development will be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA, MnDept. of Health, MWCC, MnDNR, etc.) are obtained prior to final plat approval. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - Oak Cliff Pond 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.

January 13, 1993 Jim Sturm, City Planner City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122-1897 RE: Oak C l i f f Pond, 2nd Addition Preliminary Plat Application Dear Jim: At the City Staff-Developer meeting for t is proposal, you suggested a neighborhood meeting might be elpful to inform neighbors and answer their questions. I'just wanted to let you know that we have followed up on that suggesti n. However, since there were over 70 owners covered by the not ce provisions, we tried to focus on the directly affected neighb rs. For the owners in Phase I of Oak Cliff Pond, e briefed them at their annual owners' meeting on January 10. About 80% were in attendence. The main question was the amount f woods to remain along the west side of the pond and home price We have sent informational letters and maps to the eight abutting residential property owners in Eagan and Burnsville (Copy attached). In the letter, we offer a phone nu ber for additional information and offer to bring large scale plan to their homes if they prefer. Since there is no traffic flow i to the River Woods or Oak Cliff subdivisions, I assumed there would be little interest on the part of homeowners who do not abut the d velopment area and concentrated on personal service to those dire tly affected. Thank you for your suggestion. I hope this me is the need. furs trul mes C. Dimond Pr ent JD/jc 8609 Lyndale Avenue South # 10 1 B Bloomington, Minnesota 55420 (612)881-0127 OCP HOMES, INC. January 12, 1993 Mr. & Mrs. White Oak Ct. Eagan, MN 55122 Dear Within the last couple of days, you probably have received a notice from the City of Eagan of a Public Hearing for Phase II of the Oak Cliff Pond Development. OCP Homes, Inc. will be continuing the current development that is along Slater Rd. in a westerly direction. Since you are a neighbor whose property abuts the proposed development, I wanted to make some information about the Second Phase of Oak Cliff Pond available to you. The site adjoins River Woods in Burnsville on the west and the northerly lots on the Cul de Sac of White Oak Circle in Eagan on the south. About four years ago, a plat was approved by the City for 33 homes on this land. Our plat proposes to reduce this to 23 homes. These will be the same type of homes as are currently being built on Wildwood Ln. and Wyndemere Ct. in Oak Cliff Pond. While they are called townhouses by City Code, the homes are essentially single family homes with an Association to provide exterior services. The homes in Phase I sold for $125,000 to $180,000. We anticipate the second phase will be $10,000 to $15,000 higher. The plat was designed to be as consistent as possible with the steep slopes of the property and to maintain the natural woods around the perimeter of the site. To help deal with the slopes, the average lot size for Phase II is about 40% greater than the Phase I lots and substantially more common area will be provided. Enclosed are a couple of site maps, showing the proposed plat. Your lot is marked in yellow. If you have any questions or comments about this proposal I would invite you to give me a call at 881-0127. If you would like to see a large scale copy of the plat, let me know. I can be available to stop by to show it to you and answer questions if you would like. Yours truly, James C.

EXISTING CONDITIONS: The property is zoned Agricultural and is designated D-II Mixed Residential (0-6 units/acre). A large ponding area subject to the City's Shoreland Ordinance comprises 6.4 acres of the site which is relatively flat and contains some secondary tree growth and prairie grass. The west edge of the site is adjacent to MnDOT right-of-way that lies east of the freeway fence. COMMENTS: The applicant is proposing a two-phase development of 34 owner-occupied townhouse units among seven individual buildings (one seven-unit, one six-unit, two five-unit, two four-unit, and one three-unit building). Phase I calls for 27 units on 10.9 acres resulting in a net density of 5.25 units/acre which is consistent with the Land Use Guide Plan. The proposed Phase II (.4 acre Outlot A) consists of one 7-unit building. Development of this phase is contingent upon MnDOT turning back I-35E right-of-way to the property owner. The one-acre piece of right-of-way adjacent to the subject property east of the freeway fence is necessary to provide access and allow for a proper building setback for Phase II (Outlot A). The applicant has initiated these proceedings with MnDOT to designate all right-of-way east of the freeway fence as excess right-of-way. This can be a rather lengthy process due to federal government involvement with interstate freeways. As proposed, all units meet the R-3 building and parking setback requirements. The thirteen units adjacent to the pond meet the City's Shoreland Ordinance required 50' building setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark. //s' According to Good Value Homes, the market for these two and thre bedroom townhomes will be young, professional singles, couples, and empty nesters. The o-story units will be approximately 1,100 sq. ft. and all exterior materials will be maintena ce-free as required by City Code. In addition to general interior options, fireplace, porch d patio options are also available. A conceptual landscape plan was submitted. Additional landscaping ' be required along the freeway and underground irrigation will be required for all lands and sodded areas. PARKS & RECREATION: The vegetative character of the site is p ' arily small, secondary growth covering a majority of the parcel. Most of this plant material insignificant and will be lost with development. Larger box elders and elms line the west rn pond edge. These trees are proposed to be preserved with development. Staff feels tha these tree masses are important in that they provide a naturalized setting for the pond. Tr removal adjacent to the pond edge, similar to that by Pilot Knob Road would h ve a negative visual consequence. Staff recommends that the developer provide a tree pr tection plan indicating temporary fencing adjacent to these shoreland trees during constru tion. The plat is subject to both a cash parks and trails dedication. GRADING/DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL: The preliminary grading plan proposes to grade approximately 4 acres of this site to prepare the area for townhouses and private streets. The maximum cut is 12 feet in the southeast portion of this site and the maximum fill is 6 feet in the northwest comer of this site. The development shall maintain a 30 foot vegetative buffer strip along the edge of Pond JP-3. The 30 foot buffer strip contains, a dense grass cover and light woods that will control erosion of sediments into Pond JP-3. There is a 10 foot berm along the west edge of this development that was constructed by MnDOT with the Interstate 35-E project. The preliminary grading plan shows that the proposed townhouses will have a first floor elevation of 6 feet to 12 feet below the top of the berm. Drainage from this site will be conveyed via the proposed storm sewer system to Pond JP-3 which is located in the east half of this plat. Pond JP-3 is a pond in the City's Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan, and it has an existing 12" outlet across Pilot Knob Road that discharges into Fish Lake. The lowest entry levels of the proposed townhouses shall maintain a 3 foot freeboard above the high water level of Pond JP-3. The proposed storm sewer system that will serve this site shall include catch basins to drain the upgrading of Englert Road. Also, a storm sewer stub shall be added to drain the low area in the undeveloped property south of Englert Road to Pond JP-3. 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 & WETLANDS: This proposed development is located in Drainage Basin J. Runoff from the development will discharge to JP-3, a 10-acre wetland classified as a Type 6 sediment basin in the City's Water Quality Management Plan. Pond JP-3 is directly connected with Fish Lake, one of the City's top water quality management priorities. Staff will recommend construction of two sumps off the flared end of each stormwater pipe discharging to Pond JP-3 from the development. Accommodation of additional on-site ponding would be difficult, and there are other more cost effective ways of protecting water quality in Fish Lake. Thus, the remainder of the water quality requirements will be met by a cash dedication based on the actual 6.1 acres of the development site. The developer also proposes to fill up to 230 square feet of fringe wetland associated with Pond JP-3. Assuming avoidance and sequencing activities are adequate, on-site and in-kind replacement will be provided near the northern boundary of the development area at a ratio of 1:1 as required under the interim program guidelines of the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth is readily available to serve this site from an existing 15" sanitary sewer line that was constructed by the City in the early 1970's in Englert Road. The preliminary utility plan shows connecting to the 15" sanitary sewer and extending 8" lateral lines along the private streets and 4" service lines up to each individual unit in this townhouse development. The upgrading of Englert Road shall ills include the extension of sanitary sewer services to existing houses along Englert Road and adding sanitary sewer stubs to serve the future development of the vacant property along Englert Road. Water main of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is available to serve this site from an existing 8" stub at the intersection of Pilot Knob Road and Englert oad. The preliminary water main layout plan shows connecting to the 8" stub and extending an 8" water main in Englert Road and then 6" water main through the site along the private streets. This development shall include the 300 foot section of 6" water main along the west edge of the plat that will provide a loop from the Englert Road water main to the proposed 6" water main in the private street. The preliminary utility plan proposes t provide individual 1" water services to each unit of the townhouse development. Water services shall-also be added to the existing houses along Englert Road and also to serve a future development of the undeveloped property along Englert Road. This development will be required to stub an 8" sanitary sewer and 6" water main to the north property line for service to the future development to the no . The sanitary sewer stub elevation at the north property line shall be 845 to serve the future development to the north. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Access to this development will be from Englert Road which is currently a gravel street that connects to Pilot Knob Road. The developer has petitioned the City to upgrade Englert Road in conjunction with s development. The upgrading of Englert Road to City standards shall include a 32 oot wide street with concrete curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing. Except for Englert Road, the proposed streets within this developm nt are proposed to be privately owned and maintained. The private street system shall a constructed to City Code requirements. All private street construction shall have crowned centerline providing for directional drainage into the gutter line and subseque tly into a storm sewer system. At intersections, the street grade shall not exceed 3% or the first 100 feet approaching said intersection. As shown on the preliminary site an, the private street along the west edge of the development will not be constructed until he excess right-of-way from MnDOT is vacated. This section of privte street would servthe future 7 units of Outlot A. RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS/PERMITS: This development will be responsible for dedicating 30 feet of half right-of-way for Englert Road along its south property line. In addition, this development will be responsible for obtaining necessary easements and right- of-way outside of this development to allow the construction of Engle Road to occur. The final plat for this development will not dedicate right-of-way for the internal streets since the streets will be privately owned. The final plat shall dedicate easements of sufficient width based on the depth of the utilities for the lateral lines that wills rve this development. The final plat shall also include a ponding easement over Pond JP-3 p to three feet above its high water level. The developer has applied to MnDOT to vacate excess right-of-way along the west property line of this site.

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT (DEERHAWK ADDITION) APPLICANT: DAKOTA COUNTY STATE BANK LOCATION: P.I.D. #10-02000-011-75 (SE QUARTER SECTION 20) EXISTING ZONING: SINGLE FAMILY (R-1) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: AUGUST 2S, 1992 DATE OF REPORT: AUGUST 12, 1992 COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary Plat consisting of five single family lots on approximately 2.42 acres of R-1 (Single Family) zoned land. The City's Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this area D-II (0-6 units/acre) which is consistent with both the present zoning and proposed use. The site is located at the southeast intersection of Blackhawk Road and Deerwood Drive. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site contains a significant amount of mature vegetation, including many oaks. The topography ranges from gentle to severe slope and there is a wetland located in the northwest comer of the site. City trails are located along both Deerwood Drive and Blackhawk Road adjacent to this parcel. COMMENTS: According to the applicant, the bank has held the property for two years and is subdividing the 2.42 acre parcel into lots for individual ownership. At this time, custom home sites are proposed and no mass grading is proposed. The lots range in size from 12,000 sq. ft. to 26,265 sq. ft. and have a lot width of 85' or more. As proposed, all lots meet code requirements. Lots 1 and 2 will take access from Blackhawk Road, while Lots 3 through 5 will gain access from Deerwood Drive. Due to the size of right-of-way for Blackhawk Road and Deerwood Drive, a 40' front building setback would normally be required. The applicant is proposing a front building setback of 30' which is consistent with existing building setbacks north of this plat along Deerwood Drive and existing homes fronting Blackhawk Road west of the site. The 30' setback is proposed to maximize tree preservation and limit excessive grading. City Code section 11.20, subd. B.1. allows new single family homes to maintain prevailing front building setbacks of existing homes in an established area. PARKS & RECREATION: Parks & Recreation staff will be recommending a cash parks dedication and a cash trails dedication to the Advisory, Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission at its September 3, 1992 meeting. 13v GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: A minimal amount of grading will be necessary to prepare Lots 1 & 5 for house construction. The preliminary grading plan shows grading on Lots 2, 3 & 4 to prepare those lots for house construction. The existing wetland on Lots 2 & 3 would be relocated to the west and the wetland would be redefined onto the north half of Lot 2. The maximum cuts on this site are proposed to be 10 feet, and the maximum fill is 4 feet. The drainage off of the frontyards of the lots will be directed to the adjoining streets. The drainage off of the backyards of the lots will be directed to the proposed wetland on Lot 2. The preliminary grading and drainage plan shows proposed storm sewer be constructed to drain the wetland to the existing storm sewer on Deerwood Drive. The houses abutting the wetland shall have a lowest entry level of elevation 889.0 to provide two feet of freeboard above the 100-year HWL that the wetland could flood to. The developer has sent a letter to the City asking if the City had any interest in purchasing property on this development for storm water ponding. The City is analyzing the existing storm sewer systems and ponds in this area to see if the location and economics are feasible for adding another pond to the City's stormwater management system. The developer will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards. The site contains many mature trees. According to the preliminary grading, drainage and development plan, about half of the wooded area will remain in the undisturbed state even after the houses are added. WATER QUALITY: This development will be subject to a cash dedication requirement to meet water quality standards. The amount of the dedication is estimated at approximately $1,900. In addition, the developer will need to' delineate and meet State Wetland Conservation Act requirements for all wetlands on the development site. The delineations and impact analysis must be submitted for review to staff no later than Monday, August 23, 1992. Recommendations on both water quality mitigation and wetland protection are subject to approval by the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Committee. UTILITIES: Adequate sanitary sewer of sufficient depth and capacity is readily available to the lots from an existing 9" sanitary sewer along the east side of Blackhawk Road or from an existing 9" sanitary sewer along the north side of Deerwood Drive. Adequate water main service of sufficient pressure and capacity has been provided from an existing 16" water main along the west side of Blackhawk Road and an existing 18" water main along the north side of Deerwood Drive. The preliminary utility plan shows connecting to the existing mainlines in Blackhawk Road and Deerwood Drive and stubbing services across the roads to the proposed lots. Individual sewer and water services will be provided to each lot for sewer and water service. The developer will be responsible for repairing the streets at each of the service crossings. STREETS /ACCESS/CIRCULATION. Street access to this development is available from Deerwood Drive on the north side and Blackhawk Road along the west side of the site. The development proposes to add three driveways out to Deerwood Drive and two driveways out to Blackhawk Road. No driveways will be allowed onto Taconite Trail until the existing driveway on Taconite Trail is improved to a City standard street with concrete curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing. The preliminary development plan does not show any driveway from the new lots to be added onto Taconite Trail. In the surrounding developments of Cedar Grove 7 and Cedar Grove 8, the houses abutting Deerwood Drive and Blackhawk Road have driveways that connect to the City streets. RIGHT-OF-WAY f EASEMENTS,/PF S: As shown on the preliminary plat, 50 feet of half right-of-way shall be provided along the lots that abut Blackhawk Road and Deerwood Drive. The developer will be responsible for obtaining all the necessary permits from the affected agencies such as MPCA, MWCC, Dept. of Health, MN DNR, etc., prior to final plat approval. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - Deerhawk 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.
