MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF
ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
EAGAN, MINNESOTA
FEBRUARY 4, 1993
A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks Recreation and Natural Resources Commission was called to
order at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 4, 1993 with the following Commission members present: Erin
Ipsen-Borgersen, Jonathan Widem, Lee Markell, Deborah Johnson and Dan Mooradian. Commission Members
not present included Ted Billy, Kevin Knight and Jack Johnson. Staff present included Ken Vraa, Director of
Parks and Recreation; Stephen Sullivan, Landscape Architect/Parks Planner; Dorothy Peterson, Superintendent
of Recreation; John VonDeLinde, Parks Superintendent; Rich Brasch, Water Quality Coordinator,Tom Schuster,
City Forester; Paula Nowariak, Recreation Supervisor; Dan Schultz, Intern and Cherryl Mesko,Secretary.
AGENDA
Director Vraa noted that there were three miscellaneous items to be included under Other Business
and Reports. Erin Ipsen-Borgersen moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to
accept the agenda as amended.
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 7, 1993
Dan Mooradian moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the
minutes of January 7, 1993 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, Lee Markell moved,Erin Ipsen-Borgersen
seconded the motion to make the following park/trail dedication recommendations to the City Counc i l regarding
Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition. All members voted in favor.
1. Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition. It was noted that the parks dedication requirement has been
fulfilled in accordance with the Winkler Jackson Planned Development. The Planned
Development Agreement is specific to the 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 for trail construction or a cash trails dedication.
The developer is responsible for submitting a tree protection plan for City review and approval
prior to final plat.
Erin lpsen-Borgersen moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to make the
following water quality dedication recommendations to the City Council regarding Oak Cliff Pond 2nd
Addition.
1. Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition. 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.

PONDVIEW TOWNHOMES - GOOD VALUE HOMES
Parks Planner Sullivan introduced this item noting that the parcel is within Parks Service Area #21
which is currently not served with a public park. With the platting of Deerwood Middle School the
Commission reviewed the parkland need within this PSA and recommended that the need be determined once
the land use was designated for the 80 acre parcel of land located at Diffley and 35E. The Commission further
commented that the updating of the Comprehensive Parks System Plan may also provide the needed evaluation
for PSA #21.
Steve noted that the vegetative cover of the site is primarily small, secondary growth covering a
majority of the parcel. The larger boxelders and elms that line the western pond edge are proposed to be
preserved with development. The plans propose the removal of a 48' cottonwood tree on the northwest corner
of the site and Steve suggested that some thought be given to preserving this tree.
The final issue Mr. Sullivan reviewed was relative to the City Code provision for Recreation Open
Space within all multiple family developments. Based on the City Code requirements, the 32 proposed units
would equate to 6800 square feet of recreation open space required for this plat. Steve added that there is
adequate green space adjacent to the unit central to the site to accommodate the open space required.
Water Resources Coordinator Brasch reviewed the water quality requirements as well as the wetland
protection issues relative to this proposal. Rich noted that the proposed development is located in drainage
basin J with the runoff from the development being discharged to pond JP-3, a 10 acre wetland classified as
a sediment basin directly connected with Fish Lake.
Relative to wetland impact, Mr. Brasch noted that adjacent to the DNR protected wetland is a fringe
wetland which was delineated throughout the development site by a consultant hired by the developer. The
developer 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 and the wetland on the east side. The developer has indicated that failure to fill this area would result
in the loss of four building units and a loss of approximately $400,000 in revenue. Rich continued that the
mitigation area proposed 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. It was also noted that the replacement would
be supervised by a qualified contractor.
A representative of Good Value Homes addressed the Commission noting that they agree with Steve
and Rich's review of the issues as well as their recommendations. He did note, however, that it may be
difficult to preserve the cottonwood tree as requested but the developer would make every effort to try to
accommodate that request as well.
After further discussion, Dan Mooradian moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded with all members
voting in favor to make the following parks/trails dedication recommendations to the City Council:
1. The proposal be subject to a cash parks dedication.
2. The proposal be subject to a cash trails dedication.
3. The developer revise the grades adjacent to the central unit providing a minimum of 6800
square feet of flat recreation open space.
4. 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.

5. The site plan preserve the trees adjacent to the single family home providing the area a buffer
between the adjacent differing land uses.
6. The site plan preserve the trees adjacent to the pond.
7. The developer attempt to preserve the 48" cottonwood once the site plan is changed.
Jonathan Widem moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded with all members voting in favor to make the
following water quality/wetland dedication recommendations to the City Council:
1. The proposed development be required to provide a cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding
to meet water quality treatment requirements.
2. 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.
3. The cash dedication will be reduced commensurately to provide a credit for the area and
volume of these sumps.
4. 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.
DEERHAWK ADDITION - DAKOTA COUNTY STATE BANK
Parks Planner Sullivan introduced this item as an application requesting the preliminary plat of six
single family lots on 2.42 acres locate south of Deerwood Drive and east of Blackhawk Drive. Steve continued
that the Commission has reviewed this proposal previously and recommended a cash parks and trails
dedication, however there are some water quality issues that remain to be reviewed by the Commission.
Water Resources Coordinator Brasch explained that the Commission previously reviewed this
development in September, 1992 when the developer was proposing to subdivide the parcel into five lots
instead of six, as is now proposed. The Commission previously recommended a cash dedication to satisfy
waterquality which should be adjusted upward slightlyto accountforthe increased impervious area associated
with the addition of an extra lot.
Relative to the wetland issues, Rich continued that the Commission 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 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. The recommendation 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.
Rich continued that field reconnaissance of the site by City staff indicated that the wetland on the site
may be significantly larger than the one designated on the original site plan. With this change, Rich indicated
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.
Gary Fuchs, representing Dakota County State Bank noted that they are in agreement with staff's
recommendations and understand the need to identify the exact size of the wetland so that they can proceed
with this project.

Lee Markel) asked if the wetland could be made to look more natural rather than trying to "jam" it into
the corner of the site. Mr. Fuchs asked that the Commission consider giving Rich Brasch the discretionary
option to determine the shape of the wetland in working with the owner of this site. Mr. Fuchs also asked the
Commission to consider increasing the wetland fill area from 1500 to 2800 square feet. As a point of
clarification, Mr. Brasch noted that a site is exempt from the Wetlands Conservation Act if the wetland is a
result of a public improvement project as was the case with Blackhawk and Deerwood Roads
After further discussion Erin Ipsen-Borgersen moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members
voting in favor to make the following parks/trails recommendations to the City Council:
1. The proposal be subject to a cash parks dedication.
2. The proposal be subject to a cash trails dedication.
Erin Ipsen-Borgersen moved, Dan Mooradian seconded with all members voting in favor to make the
following water quality/wetland recommendations to the City Council:
1. Authorize the proponent to fill up to 2800 square feet of the wetland 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 actual configuration of the wetland is to be worked out
between the proponent and Mr. Brasch.
LEXINGTON SQUARE "RELEAF" GRANT PROJECT
Director Vraa introduced this item as an update on the status of the Minnesota Releaf Grant recently
awarded to the City by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The $4,000 grant is intended to fund
an innovative project of tree planting for energy conservation on a neighborhood level basis.
Parks Superintendent VonDeLinde reiterated that the Lexington Square subdivision had been selected
for this project and 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 to the homeowners. It is expected that a
preliminary mailing to the Lexington Square neighborhood will occur on February 1st describing the benefits
of tree planting and energy conservation along with an overview of the Minnesota Releaf Program. A follow
up mailing is expected to reach homeowners by March 15th spelling out the steps for individual participation
in this project. Residents will be asked to fill out the sketch sheet showing the proposed planting site and
species in relation to the placement of the house on the lot and return that sketch to the Forestry Division by
April 1st. The third letter will then be sent, once planting stock is available, providing residents with planting
and tree care instruction and informing them when and where their trees and Tubex shelters can be picked up.
Following the planting process, City Forester Schuster noted that the growth of these trees will be
monitored to determine the effectiveness of this reforestation project. It is expected that after 3-4 years there
will be sufficient data to report back to the Department of Natural Resources.
Lee Markell complimented staff on the excellent job they've done in empowering citizens in a project
of this magnitude. Lee asked if other cities were participating in a program such as this. Tom Schuster
responded that this was one of the first of it's kind and fits very well into the guidelines of the Minnesota Releaf
Program which is geared primarily toward energy conservation.

John VonDeLinde concluded that there are 370 households in the Lexington Square addition and there
are enough trees to provide two per household. Staff is hoping for a high percentage of participation.
PARK NAMING
Director Vraa asked that this item be deferred to the March Commission meeting.
GOLF DRIVING RANGE UPDATE
Director Vraa explained that the City Council has reviewed this request and has asked staff to continue
with the process of working out an agreement with Mr. Kuchera and Mr. Helgeson regarding the use of
Lexington/Diffley for a golf driving range. Ken continued that one of the issues that remain is access to the site
which will need to be worked out.
Director Vraa noted that electrical service can be brought in from the U.S. West building but the water
line for irrigation needs to be resolved. Ken concluded that the Council appreciated the Commission's input.
STRUCTURING THE ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION
AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
Director Vraa introduced this item noting that the City Council had postponed appointing new
Commission members pending the discussion by the Commission as to the feasibility of restructuring this body.
Ken explained that there were a large number of applicants who has expressed an interest in serving on the
Advisory Commission and the Council was attempting to determine how best to use the resources of the
individuals who had applied.
Ken outlined some options the Commission may want to consider including 1) leaving the Commission
as it currently exists; 2) expanding the Commission to a greater number; 3) restructuring the Commission duties
and provide for two separate and distinct commissions-Parks and Recreation and Natural Resources; 4)
restructuring the Advisory Commission to include a sub-committee of non-Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission members with the sole purpose of reviewing environmental issues.
Director Vraa reviewed with the Commission the background resulting in the Commission's name being
changed from Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission to Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission. He also included the Mission Statement drafted by George Kubik in 1990 relative to the issues
that would be discussed by the Advisory Commission concerning the preservation and enhancement of the
natural resources of the City of Eagan. The Mission Statement was approved by the Advisory Commission and
later referenced when the City Council was asked to consider renaming the Commission which they did. Ken
continued that the City Council is now asking for input from the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission as to how they would like to see the Commission proceed.
Lee Markell thanked Ken for the thorough job in defining the background and options for the
Commission to consider. Dan Mooradian added that the memorandums and Mission Statement clearly outline
the important issues at hand. Dan continued that his personal sense was that by splitting the commission into
two separate entities the level of discussion on a single issue would multiply drastically. He added that another
commission would add yet another layer for developers to get through before proceeding to the City Council.
Mr. Mooradian expressed his support for increasing the number of Commission members feeling that this option
would allow for more community involvement while maintaining the continuity of the overlapping issues that
are addressed by the current Commission.

Minutes of February 4,1993 Meeting

Jonathan Widem concurred with Mr. Mooradian's comments adding that the issues addressed by the
Commission are so closely inter-related that it would be difficult to separate parks and recreation issues from
natural resources issues. Jonathan continued that since there is such a good working relationship with
developers that adding another layer of commission review seemed unnecessary. Mr. Widem did acknowledge,
however, the importance of utilizing the expertise of those residents who have expressed an interest in the
APRNRC. Mr.Widem suggested expanding the Commission to 10 members.
Erin Ipsen-Borgersen indicated she first thought the addition of a sub-committee of non-Advisory
Commission members would be the best option to include more people in the discussion process, however she
indicated she is leaning more toward increasing the number of participants on the Commission to ten.
Deborah Johnson expressed her concern for adding too many people either through expansion of the
size of the Commission or additional sub-committee members because of the potential for "over discussing"
issues. She cautioned that by adding too many people, the Commission could find itself in a situation where
issues got "bogged down" with discussion making it difficult to make decisions in a timely fashion.
Dan Mooradian reiterated his suggestion to add Commission members in an attempt to ensure that
there would be enough participating members at all times to conduct business. Erin lpsen-Borgersen added
the importance of having a quorum at all meetings in order to effectively resolve the issues this Commission
has been given charge of.
Lee Markell suggested that consideration be given to both adding Commission Members and
empowering citizens by inviting them to participate on subcommittees. Dan thought this may be a workable
compromise to which Erin agreed. Lee continued that a "grass roots" approach to including those citizens who
had expressed an interest in participating would be beneficial in the long run.
After further discussion, Jonathan Widem moved, Erin lpsen-Borgersen seconded with all members
voting in favor to recommend to the City Council that the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission be increased to eight (8) members and one (1) alternate and that a Citizen's Sub-committee of up
to 5 members be appointed to aid the Commission on issues it deems appropriate.
Director Vraa reiterated that this was the largest number of people to apply for the Advisory Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and the Council wanted to see if there was a way in which to
include all the areas of expertise represented by these individuals. Dan Mooradian suggested that input could
be solicited from those interested individuals to determine what their interests are and to see how the
Commission can use their expertise.
SCOPE OF SERVICES - PARK SYSTEM PLAN UPDATE
Director Vraa introduced this item as the Scope of Services that will be sent to consultants regarding
the update of the Park System Plan. The procedure that is anticipated includes the Scope of Services being
sent, a follow-up proposer's meeting for interested bidders, written responses reviewed, interviews,
recommendation to the City Council and the hiring of a consultant. Ken continued that he wanted the
Commission to be aware of how extensive this project will be. He also added that there is no budget at this
time but it is anticipated that the project may be bid in the $40,000-55,000 range.
Lee Markell asked if the Council is obligated to take the low bid. Mr. Vraa responded that the Council
has the option of selecting the consultant they feel is most appropriate for this project. Mr. Markell asked if
staff is looking for volunteers for the interview committee and Mr. Vraa responded that this will be addressed
at the March Commission meeting once the new members are in attendance.

LANDSCAPE, TREE PRESERVATION AND TURF ESTABLISHMENT POLICIES
Superintendent of Parks VonDeLinde introduced this item indicating that a series of changes to the
City's "post-development" landscape and tree maintenance ordinances were recommended by the Commission
in 1990 and adopted by the City Council. 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.
John continued that as a result of the Landscape Committee's work, three draft environmental policies
have been developed. One is new landscaping regulations under Chapter 11 (Land Use Regulations) of the
City Code, another is new regulations governing lawn establishment and maintenance under Chapter 10 (Public
Protection) of the City Code and the third is a new tree preservation and replacement policy which is a free
standing policy but not an ordinance. After reviewing some items addressed within the new landscape
ordinance John explained that the ordinance, which was adopted by the Advisory Commission, has also been
ratified by the City Council.
Mr. VonDeLinde then reviewed the proposed Turfgrass Establishment and Maintenance Ordinance
noting that it would be appropriate for the Commission to approve, modify or deny the proposed final draft
before forwarding it on to the City Council.
Tree preservation and replacement policy was the next item reviewed by Mr. VonDeLinde. John
explained that the City 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. John
added that to date, most tree preservation initiatives have been worked out between developers, builders and
staff through a negotiation process. At this point staff is requesting input from the Commission before
proceeding with the tree preservation and replacement policy.
Erin Ipsen-Borgersen asked that Item C -1c be clarified. Dan Mooradian asked if the intention of the
tree replacement policy was to provide an incentive for developers to preserve trees. John responded that that
was the catalyst for this policy. Deborah Johnson asked how often developers do not comply with tree
preservation. Steve Sullivan responded that developers have become more aware of the City's desire for tree
preservation and been more pro-active in this regard. In some instances, Steve continued, developers have
done lot by lot grading which preserves more trees than mass grading. It is hope that this policy will help to
preserve even more trees as well as find an equitable way in which to provide for tree replacement should mass
grading be necessary on a site.
After further discussion, Erin lpsen-Borgersen moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members
voting in favor to recommend to the City Council that the proposed final draft of the Turfgrass Establishment
and Maintenance Ordinance be ratified.
Lee Markell asked if further comments from the Commission could be forwarded to John VonDeLinde
regarding the tree preservation and replacement policy. John indicated the Commission's input would be
appreciated and staff would bring this issue back to them in March or April.
SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS - GOAT HILL PARK
Director Vraa introduced Recreation Supervisor Paula Nowariak who would be presenting a concept
plan to allow for sand volleyball courts within Goat Hill Park hockey rinks.
r
Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Minutes of February 4,1993 Meeting
Page 8
Recreation Supervisor Nowariak explained that due to the popularity of sand volleyball in the
community, staff has looked at the expansion possibilities for this sport. Currently there is not room to expand
at Rahn Athletic because of softball usage, parking limitations and the heave usage by public groups. Staff
looked into adding sand volleyball courts at Northview Athletic but didn't propose this site 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 and neighborhood parks in which space might be available lacked sufficient parking
for sand volleyball activity.
After some research it was determined that a viable option would be to place sand volleyball within
an existing hockey rink. It was felt that Goat Hill Park would accommodate groups, picnics, leagues and
casual use for sand volleyball. Paula then reviewed several options that had been designed with cost estimates
for installation. The proposed plan would be to bring in approximately 10-12" of sand which would be
removed in winter to accommodate flooding of the rinks. The removal and use of the sand pre-winter for use
by maintenance for road sanding is being researched as well.
After discussion of the options available, Lee Markell moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded with all
members voting in favorto recommend Option D with double courts and no edging in one hockey rink located
in Goat Hill Park
WATER QUALITY UPDATE
Director Vraa indicated that Water Resources Coordinator Brasch would like to have a Watershed
Management member named from the Commission which would meet every other month. Ken suggested that
once the new Commission members are appointed then this appointment could be made.
ADA UPDATE
Superintendent of Recreation Peterson reviewed the status of the City's implementation of ADA
requirements. Dorothy noted that city facilities, including park shelter buildings, parking lots and other
ancillary park elements were evaluated for accessibility in 1992 and a limited number of barriers were identified
at that time. Part two of the ADA accessibility assessment has also been completed and at issue is barriers
to participation in city programs. As an update of recreation programs Dorothy indicated that a brainstorming
format worked well. Dorothy noted that because of the diverse variety of recreation programs offered through
Parks and Recreation the Office of Revenue Sharing rules require that not all of 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.
MINNESOTA VALLEY TRAIL UPDATE
Superintendent of Recreation Peterson introduced this item as a joint effort of DNR, Minneapolis Park
Board, Mendota Heights and Eagan to discuss trail connections with the repair/replacement of the Mendota
Bridge. Dorothy indicated that meetings had occurred, and will continue to occur, to see how the agencies
involved can tie together with a trail system. There may a possibility that ISTEA grant dollars may become
available for a program such as this which would tie community to community.
DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS
Dorothy Peterson shared a video of recreation programs that have occurred during the winter session
to give the Commission an overview of programs and use levels within the parks. The video included
programs such as bandy at the Lexington/Diffley site, mite hockey tournament at Rahn and tubing at Trapp
Farm Park. Ken Vraa noted that the attendance at the skating rinks and tubing hill has been excellent this year.
Adult programs highlighted included the snow softball tournament and boot hockey tournament.

Minutes of February 4,1993 Meeting
Page 9
John VonDeLinde acknowledged the anonymous contribution of producing the 1993 Arbor Day poster
for distribution in the elementary schools, in installation of winter lake aeration systems at Fish and Schwanz
Lakes and the fact that Berkley Risk Services is using Trapp Farm Park as a model of an ideal tubing facility
when discussing this facility with other communities wanting to provide this program.
ROUND TABLE
Director Vraa brought the Commission's attention to two letters received by the Department. The first
was a letter requesting the use of a fenced field at Goat Hill Park for the purposes of running/exercising a dog.
Staff responded to Ms. Fredrickson's request indicating that they would not be able to accommodate her
request. The second letter was from Mr. Wayne Huot, Eagan Traveling Soccer, asking that the City consider
initiating a per team fee for field maintenance in 1994 rather than 1993 to allow them time to budget for it.
Ken also commented that a neighborhood meeting regarding the Lexington/Diffley site would be held
on February 18 and invited Commission Members to attend.
Finally, Mr. Vraa addressed the letter of resignation from Steve Sullivan. Ken expressed the
Department's regret in losing Steve but the position he has accepted with Dakota County Parks is a good
opportunity for him. Ken added that Steve will be deeply missed.
Steve addressed the Commission and thanked them for having given him the opportunity to participate
is such a positive nurturing environment. Steve reviewed some of the highlights of his nine years with the City
noting that in that time frame 30 parks had been developed, 6 parks had been acquired,and he has worked
on public contracts totaling over $5,000,000. Steve continued praising the Department's cooperative team
spirit and Ken's leadership that facilitated that type of working environment. Steve thanked the Commission
for their commitment to the Eagan Parks System and their understanding of the value for having a landscape
architect on staff. Although it is difficult to leave, Steve concluded that working for the City of Eagan has been
a wonderful learning/working experience and he felt confident that he was leaving the Parks and Recreation
Department in good hands.
Deborah Johnson commented on the team approach displayed by staff noting that this in a very unique
situation which very few organizations have the luxury of functioning in. She congratulated Ken Vraa for
providing such a positive environment for the department to function in.
Erin Ipsen-Borgersen asked that some further consideration be given to the option of a dog run in Eagan
for those residents who do not have a fenced yard, i.e. townhome/condominium residents. Director Vraa stated
staff would research this issue and bring it back before the Commission at a later date with their findings.
With no further business to conduct, Deborah Johnson moved, Dan Mooradian seconded with all
members voting in favor to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 10:20 p.m.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: MARCH 2, 1993
RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT DIFFLEY COMMONS SECOND ADDITION
An application has been submitted requesting a preliminary plat of 29.3 acres for 51 lots and
192 units for the Diffley Commons Second Addition. This addition is located north of
Diffley Road and east of the current Diffley Commons Addition.
The Second Addition is located in the Eagan Hills PUD. The PUD agreement has
previously shown a high density designation for this area.
Site Reviewal
The site contains a ponding area that will be retained for ponding and water quality
purposes. A play area, located in the northwest comer of the plat provides some open space
play area. Additional open space has been retained around the ponding area which could
provide for some passive opportunities.
Parks Dedication Requirements
As part of the Eagan Hills Planned Development agreement, the parks land dedication for
this PUD has been determined previously. Part of this dedication has resulted in the
Meadowlands Neighborhood Park. This particular subdivision will be responsible for a Cash
Dedication requirement based on the residual land equivalency and a Trails Dedication.
For Commission Action
To review the Diffley Commons Second Addition and make a recommendation for a Cash
Parks Dedication and a Cash Trails Dedication consistent with the Eagan Hills PUD.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND
NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
DATE: MARCH 2, 1993
SUBJECT: WATER QUALITY AND WETLAND PROTECTION
REQUIREMENTS FOR DIFFLEY COMMONS 2ND ADDITION -
(THE ROTTLUND COMPANY)
PROPOSAL
This preliminary plat application is for a multi-family residential development consisting of
192 units on 29.3 acres and located along the north side of Diffley Road east of Beaver
Dam Road in the N 1/4 of Section 20 (Figure 1). The land is now zoned for agricultural
uses, so a change in zoning to allow a mixture of residential uses has been requested as well.
FOR COMMISSION REVIEW
The Commission will need to review and make a recommendation regarding whether the
development should be subject to a ponding requirement and/or a cash dedication
requirement to meet water quality standards as set by the City in its Water Quality
Management Plan. There are also wetland issues associated with the plat.
WATER OUALITY ANALYSIS
This proposed development lies in Drainage Basin A. Stormsewer draining approximately
13 acres of this development is proposed to discharge to Pond AP-4 (Figure 2), a pond
designated for wildlife habitat in the City's Water Quality Management Plan. Since this is
one of four classifications that falls within the recreational use category of the Eagan Water
Quality Management Plan, on-site treatment to prevent degradation of water quality in AP-4
should be required. To adequately protect water quality in Pond AP-4, a detention basin
to treat water from this drainage prior to discharge will be needed. Preliminary analysis
indicates the detention basin should be about .4 acres in surface area, and be at least 1.25
acre-feet in wet volume and 3.1 feet in mean depth at the normal water level.
Runoff from approximately 8.5 acres of the proposed development is treated by ponds lying
within the Diffley Commons 1st Addition to the west. In addition, approximately 4.8 acres
of the 2nd Addition site is occupied by a pond and woodland areas which will not be graded
1
/5t
F
by the developer. Thus, a net development area of 3.3 acres on the site should be subject
to a water quality cash dedication requirement because it will be graded but not served by
existing or planned detention ponds.
WETLAND ISSUES
A wetland inventory has been completed for the site by the developer. The only wetland
identified on the site is the one associated with Pond AP-4. It is classified as a Type 5
inland fresh open water wetland and it's limits were delineated by the developers consultant
on December 10, 1992 and subsequently field reviewed by City staff.
The developer has expressed no plans to fill or drain the wetland as part of the
development. The Eagan Public Works Department will, however, require that an outlet
be constructed for Pond AP-4. The Stormwater Comprehensive Plan identifies a normal
water elevation of 886.3, about 3 feet below the water surface elevation noted on January
26, 1993 during a site visit by city staff. A decrease in normal water elevation of this
magnitude would cause draining of some of the wetland, and thus change the aesthetic and
other values of the wetland, all of which would have to be replaced under the requirements
of the Wetlands Conservation Act (WCA).
After further analysis by City staff from both departments, it does appear feasible to
construct the outlet to maintain a normal water elevation of 889. Baring insurmountable
problems with safety, health, or welfare, staff is recommending that the Commission support
construction of the outlet at an elevation that will maintain the wetland associated with
Pond AP-4 in its current state.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that on-site ponding be used to adequately treat runoff from the proposed
development prior to discharge to Pond AP-4. To the extent that runoff will not be treated
by ponding, a cash dedication should be required. In addition, filling or draining of the
wetland associated with Pond AP-4 should be completely avoided in order to maintain it's
current size, function, and value.

COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: MARCH 2, 1993
RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION GALAXIE-CLIFF PLAZA THIRD
ADDITION; LIFETIME FITNESS
A preliminary plat has been submitted requesting a health club on outlot A and outlot E
of the Galaxie-Cliff Plaza Additions. The Gala.ie-Cliff Plaza was a planned unit
development originally approved in October of 1988. The site is located west of Galaxie
Avenue and South of Cliff Road.
The site has relatively rolling topography and a diversity of vegetation which is primarily
volunteer growth. There will be a loss of some tree massings. A landscape plan has been
submitted to reflect reforestation efforts for this site.
Parks Dedication
The obligation of the Parks Dedication responsibility with this plat were outlined in the
original planned unit development. The recommendation of the Advisory Commission
included a Cash Dedication requirement for Parks and a Cash Trails Dedication.

FROM: RICH BRASCH
'WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
RE: WATER QUALITY AND WETLAND REQUIREMENTS FOR GALAXIE CLIFF
PLAZA 3RD ADDITION-LIFETIME FITNESS
DATE: MARCH 2, 1993
PROPOSAL
This preliminary plat application is for a health club and
associated parking facility on approximately 5.4 acres, along with
an additional 8.5 acre lot which will be platted as an outlot and
for which no development is planned yet. This development is
located along the northwest side of Plaza Drive, south of Cliff
Road in the NW 1/4 of Section 32 (Figure 1).
FOR COMMISSION REVIEW
The Commission will need to review and make a recommendation
regarding whether the development should be subject to a ponding
and/or a cash dedication requirement to meet water quality
standards as set by the City in it's water quality management plan.
There is one wetland on the proposed outlot.
WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS
This proposed development will generate stormwater runoff that will
discharge to Pond AP-14, a shallow sediment basin. Pond AP-14 in
turn discharges to Pond AP-42, then to Cliff Lake (AP-11), a
recreationally classified lake in the City's water quality
management plan (Figure 2). About 5.4 acres of the site will be
developed to accommodate a health club and parking lot, while the
remaining outlot-which includes Pond AP-14 will not be developed at
this time. Since it is unclear what use, if any, will be made of
the 8.5 acre outlot, staff suggests that the Commission consider
requiring a cash dedication based only on the portion of the total
parcel that will be developed, then handling water quality
requirements for the outlot when it is re-platted for development
at a later date.
The 5.4 acre development is too small to accommodate an on-site
pond that would meet the NURP criteria that the City has adopted
for treatment ponds. Therefore it would be appropriate for the
Commission to require a cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding
as a means for the developer to meet the City's water quality
treatment standard for this site. As the Commission will recall,
the cash dedication amount is determined using City water quality
pond design criteria to determine the surface area and volume of a
hypothetical pond that would meet treatment standards for a
particular development. The pond surface area is then multiplied by
a unit charge from the Parks Dedication fee schedule and the volume
is multiplied by a unit cost for excavation. These two cost
components are then added together to come up with the total cash
dedication. Cash dedication money from developers is used by the
City to fund water quality capital improvements-including land
acquisition and excavation- elsewhere in the system.
The developer correctly states that a flood easement for Pond AP-14
was given to the City by a former owner of the property. In this
instance, the "hypothetical" pond surface area for the existing
and proposed developments that will drain to this pond does not
exceed the area of the easement that has already been provided to
the City. Thus, the surface area component of the cash dedication
should be dropped. The cash dedication for this development, then,
should be based only on the cost to excavate the pond in order to
meet wet pond volume requirements for the 'hypothetical' pond. This
modification seems an equitable method of calculating the cash
dedication for this particular development, as long as consistency
is maintained by basing the excavation component of the cash
dedication on costs for ""muck" excavation (about $5/cubic yd.)
rather than common excavation (about $2/cubic yard).
WETLANDS ISSUES
A survey of the site was conducted by the developers wetland
consultant in February, 1993 to determine whether any wetlands
existed on site that would be filled or drained by the development
activities proposed. Within the 5.4 acre parcel to be developed,
none were found. The wetland associated with Pond AP-14 lies on a
parcel within the proposed plat which will not be developed under
this project. Thus, a no-net-loss determination for this proposed
development is appropriate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the proposed development be subject to a cash
dedication in lieu of ponding to meet water quality treatment
requirements. The cash dedication should be based only on the
excavation component of the cash dedication costs and should
utilize a unit cost of $5/cubic yard. In addition, the City has
determined that no net loss of wetlands will occur as a result of
the d elopment.

DATE: MARCH 2, 1993
RE: IM[INARY P. T FOUR CROWN, INC.; dba. WENDY'S
An application has been received to allow a Class II restaurant (Wendy's) on Lot 1 Block
2 of the Duckwood Crossings. This is located west along Pilot Knob Road, south of
Crestridge Lane and the Chili's Restaurant now under construction.
The existing sight does have a wooded slope along the south edge and a flat, grassy area
along the north edge of the site. Some of these trees will be lost as a result of construction
while many of the trees along the south portion of this site nearest the lake will, be retained.
The landscaping plan has been provided and is included in the planning portion of the
packet.
Parks Dedication
As it relates to Parks Dedication, the City is not seeking any land within this service area
and as a result, staff is recommending a Cash Dedication for Parks Dedication and a Cash
Trails Dedication.

COMMISSION
FROM: RICH BRASCH
WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
RE: WATER QUALITY AND WETLANDS IMPACT STANDARDS FOR FOUR
CROWN, INC. DBA WENDY'S
DATE: MARCH 3, 1993
PROPOSAL
This request is for a planned development amendment to allow a
Class 2 restaurant along the west side of Pilot Knob Road, south of
Crestridge Drive in the NE 1/4 of Section 16 (Figure 1).
WATER QUALITY AND WETLANDS REQUIREMENTS
This development lies in drainage basin J and will generate runoff
that will discharge to Pond JP-3 (Figure 1). Pond JP-3 in turn
discharges to Fish Lake, designated as a Class I direct contact
recreation water body in the City's water quality management plan.
This planned development was approved in 1988 and is therefore
grandfathered with respect to the City's water quality dedication
ordinance which became effective in April 1990. However, City
staff have requested the developer to route all stormwater runoff
from paved areas of the site to the western-most discharge point to
Pond JP-3 and to excavate sumps where stormsewers that serve the
development discharge to JP-3. The first requirement will move the
stormsewer discharge point for the property as far as possible from
the outlet of JP-3 to prevent short-circuiting of flow, while the
second will reduce the amount of coarse-grained material that
reaches the deeper portions of the pond.
No filling or draining of wetlands will take place, as the grading
limit for the development lies at elevation 854, approximately 10
feet above the normal water elevation of 844 for pond JP-3.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The developer should route all storm sewer serving paved areas of
the property to the property's western-most discharge point into
Pond JP-3. In addition, the developer should excavate a swap
immed' tely in front of the flared end of the storm sewer.

DATE: MARCH 3, 1993
RE: SIP PROGRAM FEES
Bac and
As the Commission may recall, the Parks and Recreation Department was directed by the
City Council to increase recreation program revenue. For fiscal year 1992, a new source of
revenue was to initiate charging a fee for Summer in the Park (SIP). Last spring staff
presented this concept to the Commission. This constituted a change in policy as these
summer activities were previously free of charge.
Consequently, during the summer of 1992, SIP and Playwagon fees were introduced. A fee
of $10.00 was charged for SIP and $5.00 per participant for the Playwagon program. Staff
was directed to re-evaluate how the fees were received in 1992.
Discussion
Staff usually does not bring program fee increases to the Commission. Because charging
a fee for SIP was new to the community in 1992, staff wanted to keep the Commission
informed, and recommend a fee increase for 1993.
Staff has reviewed the 1992 program fees and attendance figures and determined that
program fees for the summer of 1993 will be as follows:
Summer in the Park: $15.00 per participant
Playwagon: $5.00 per participant

RE: WADING POOL
Background
The City's recently approved CIP identifies a wading pool facility as a project to be funded
in conjunction with the multi-use arena. Staff has initiated research concerning wading
pools, however, that preliminary work has indicated to staff that the Commission's concerns
regarding this facility are important to thorough research.
Areas of Concern
Staff believes that the following aspects pertaining to wading pools should be researched.
The Commission is encouraged to amplify, redirect and add to any aspect of the proposed
areas of review.
• Minnesota Department of Health
• Statutory requirements for wading pool construction, operation and
management
• Short and long term considerations
• Is the wading pool part of a long term plan for a major swimming
complex?
• In the short term, what size of wading pool should be planned to meet
the expectations of the community?
• Operational Implications
• Licensed staff to maintain the wading pool to state health standards
• Energy costs of filtration, chemical, heating elements of the pool
• Managerial Implications
• Will the facility be managed with lifeguards on duty during all hours
it is open?
• Will reservations for private events be accepted?
3/.
• Revenues
• What level of fees are typically charged?
• What attendance levels are required to create a break even facility?
• Opportunities for Play Features
• Should the wading pool include play features such as fountains,
bubblers or sprays?
• What are the cost implications related to play features?
For Commission Action
It is appropriate that the Commission review the areas of research concerning wading pools
that staff has identified. Staff requests that the Commission amplify, redirect or add areas
of research in order that all of its concerns are pursued.

DATE: MARCH 1, 1993
RE: DOG RUN FACILITIES
. . . . . . a . a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Background:
In January of 1993, the Parks and Recreation Department received a written request from
a City of Eagan resident inquiring about the use of a fenced baseball field for running a dog.
The current City ordinance requires dogs to be on a leash when in a City Park. It is the
view of staff that running dogs in a fenced baseball field is not the proper or intended use
of the facility. The Commission, at its February meeting, suggested that perhaps this type
of "special use facility" should be considered during the study to update the Parks Systems
Plan. The question at hand is whether the topic of dog running facilities should be included
in the Park Systems Plan.
Research Collected:
The Parks and Recreation Department has researched the topic of dog runs. This will allow
staff to be brought up to date on how other communities are handling the topic. Seven
parks and recreation departments from around the Twin Cities area were contacted to
gather information. The questions asked were if the departments have received requests
for dog run facilities, if they have such facilities and if so what the facilities include.
The Cities of Plymouth and Burnsville presently are without facilities for running
dogs. These communities allow dog owners to bring their dogs into city parks, if they are
leashed.
The Cities of Brooklyn Park and Eden Prairie have had requests for dog run
facilities. These communities are unable to provide dog run facilities at this time. Dog
owners are allowed to bring dogs into city parks, if they are on a leash.
The City of Maple Grove enforces the city ordinance of no dogs in city parks.
The City of Roseville currently allow dog owners to bring their dogs into city parks
if the are leashed. After receiving requests from the public, the city is in the position to
lease some land for a special use facility. The plot of land might be leased for 10 years at
$ 1.00 per year. This land could be used for a dog running or a golf driving range.
33
Hennepin Parks was the only parks department offering dog running facilities, they
use the term "dog training facilities". Hennepin Parks have three parks that have dog
training facilities available. Elm Creek Park has a dog training site that is approximately
40 acres in size and is partially fenced. Lake Sara Park has a site of approximately 40 acres
and it is not fenced. Crow Hasson Park is a 2000 acre park that provides approximately 80-
100 acres of unfenced land for dog training. Users of the special use site dog training
facility must attain a use permit at no cost, but must pay for parking by purchasing an
annual parking pass. Hennepin Parks are not real fussy about cleaning up after the dogs
because the area is a site where horses also run through and maintenance feels the cleaning
up after horses is more important. People wanting to train hunting dogs are allowed to
bring pistols using blanks into the dog training facilities along with live birds that are not
native to the area such as pigeons and quail.
DISCUSSION:
After reviewing what Hennepin Parks offers for dog running, staff is of the opinion that the
City of Eagan is unable to provide such facilities at this time. Facilities such as
neighborhood parks and community parks are high use areas and the dogs could pose a
threat to the safety of the park users. The dog run areas would need some sort of fencing
or something to enclose the area to keep both the park user and the dogs safe. Fenced
baseball fields might work for one person with a dog but it could open the flood gates to
the rest of the dog owners living in Eagan. If dog owners use fenced baseball fields to run
their dogs the fields will be open to the chance of being damaged or left unplayable. Staff
feels sympathetic towards those who would like to run their dogs.. At this time, staff feels
the only facility that would be adequate for dog running would be the inside of a hockey
rink.
COMMISSION ACTION:
The intent of this memorandum is informational and to stimulate discussion about such a
facility. No action is required regarding this memorandum.

RE: TRAIL REQUEST PETITION
Staff received a petition of 209 signatures from residents near Pinewood Elementary School
on the east side of Eagan. The petition requests that trailways be extended on both sides
of Dodd Road extending north from Cliff to Diffley Road. Trailways are intended to service
residents of the area and make pedestrian access to Pinewood Elementary School and Trapp
Farm Park more accessible.
The City's Park Master Trails Plan indicates a single trail along the west side of Dodd Road.
This plan, however, is several years old and will be updated with the Park Systems Plan
Study anticipated to be completed by the end of the year. Staff has responded to this
petition with a letter which is attached for your review.
For Commission Action
There is no action required of the Advisory Commission at this time. Staff wanted to
provide this information to you given the number of petitioners.

Dear Ms. Bougie:
I received your petitions for trailways from Cliff to Diffley Roads on Dodd Road.
Dodd Road is scheduled in the 1994 City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for upgrading
to an urban section. In addition, the City's Trails Master Plan also depicts a single trail
along the west side of the roadway extending from Wilderness Run Road north to Diffley
Road. Prior to the City moving ahead with the road upgrading and construction of the
proposed trail, the City will be preparing a feasibility report with design consideration and
associated costs for this construction project. At that time, the City will review the
feasibility of extending the trailway further to the south from Wilderness Run Road to Cliff,
as well as a second trailway on the east side. Whether this is successful or not will depend
upon whether there is sufficient road right-of-way to facilitate the necessary street width.
In the interim, the Master Trails Plan will be under review by the Advisory Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission during 1993. Recently, the City Council
authorized the updating of the City's Parks and Recreation Systems Plan which includes the
Master Trails Plan. Clearly, the issues that you have raised for trailway on both sides of
Dodd extending from Cliff to Diffley will be part of the study process with the updating of
the Trail Systems Plan.
I certainly invite you to participate in the process of updating the Trails Plan. The City will
be holding neighborhood meetings to obtain and gather input concerning this document and
I encourage you to participate at that time. I will certainly retain your request and petitions
on file to substantiate your request but still would encourage you to participate in the trail
planning process.

The petition also suggested the possibility of moving this work up to the current construction
year. This is not feasible in that Dodd Road will become an arterial transportation link of
the community while Diffley Road is being upgraded. As you may be aware, Diffley Road
will be under construction this year extending from its current terminus east of Pilot Knob
Road to Highway #3. If Dodd Road work were moved up to 1993, it would create an
intolerable situation for residents having to deal with construction on both Diffley and

MEMORANDUM
TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: MARCH 4, 1993
RE: PERIDOT PATH STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
Bad=and
Peridot Path Park is located in Park Service Section 19. This Park Service Section is
serviced by Woodhaven Park as a neighborhood park facility as well as Carnelian Park
which is located off of Blackhawk Road. Cedar Pond Park is also located within this Park
Service District and primarily consists of open space and play equipment. Peridot Path Park
is primarily open space with a small playground area on the north end of the park. The
park is dominated by a drainage swale which runs laterally through the park and is part of
the city storm sewer plan. In fact, the original property was acquired primarily for this
purpose.
Area Improvements
Improvements proposed for this storm water area include increasing the storm water
retention area for 100 year storm frequencies. The storm sewer inlet is currently
deteriorated and this section of pipe will be improved.
Engineering and Parks and Recreation Department staff have met to develop a preliminary
concept plan for improvements to their area, and on Tuesday, March 9, a meeting with area
residents will be conducted. Results of that meeting along with the preliminary concept
shared with the neighborhood will be presented to the* Advisory Commission. The
Commission will be asked to review the site plan and improvements intended for this area
to see how the storm water ditch improvements can enhance the remainder of the property
for aesthetics and parks purposes.
At this time, it is anticipated that the storm sewer improvements will be funded via the
storm water trunk fund and will not be charged against the property owners via assessments.
Park improvements, if determined could be done at a later date and financed out of the
Park Site Fund, should that be a recommendation of the Advisory Commission. At this
time, staff does not believe that any of the improvements that have been reviewed are of
as high a priority funding as those currently envisioned in the next two to three year cycle.
Consequently, staff would question the advisability of making significant expenditures for
parks improvement within this area at this time.
Assuming approval by the neighborhood, Commission and Council, the City Engineering
Department hopes to include this project as part of the Cedar Grove Addition street
reconstruction project expected to be begun and completed in 1993.
For Commission Action
The Advisory Commission is asked to review the intended site plans and improvements for
Peridot Path storm sewer improvements to determine what physical improvements might be
accommodated to improve parks open space opportunities.

MEMORANDUM
TO: PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
FROM: DAN SCHULTZ, PARKS AND RECREATION INTERN
DATE: FEBRUARY 26, 1993
RE: DEMOGRAPHICS AND DISTRIBUTION UPDATE
- - -
Background
The last demographics and distribution update was done in. the summer of 1989. The memo
prepared by staff for the Commission was a detailed review of the standards established by
the City of Eagan for five major athletic/recreational facilities: tennis courts, softball fields,
hockey rinks, soccer fields and baseball fields; applying those standards to what was the
current population and a projected population. The memo identified how the City of Eagan
met the demands for major athletic facilities.
Demographic Process
Previous demographics studies for the Parks and Recreation Department were based on
housing inventories. Populations for each Park Service District were extrapolated from the
known number of housing units multiplied by the Metropolitan Councils formulas for
number of persons per housing unit type.
An alternate method was also used by staff to determine population information. This
method entailed contacting three local school districts about the school age enrollment
numbers. This information was interpolated with the age range population percentages
provided by Urban Design Systems Inc.
During past demographic updates some methods of collecting data caused inconsistencies
in the results. Those methods were not used to collect data for this report.
The methods used to update the demographics and distribution of facilities for this report
are as follows:
9'1.
The population for 1989 is from the last demographics study, the 1992 and 1997 populations
are based on housing inventories broken down by Park Service Districts. Kristy Marnin, Sr.
Planner with the Community Development Department, provided the information for the
housing and population counts. Traffic Analysis Zones were used to determine which Park
Service District each household is located in. Traffic Analysis Zones are geographic areas
used to forecast and assign trips. The Traffic Analysis Zone boundaries can be defined by
alignment with major travel barriers. They can help coordinate other zonal systems such
as Park Service Districts. The Community Development Department uses the number 2.72
to indicate the number of persons living in each household. The household count and
population numbers provided by the Community Development Department were
interpolated to figure age percentages, estimations and projections for population.
The calculation of athletic facilities was done by using the Parks Maintenance Inventory list
which was updated in October of 1992 and is part of the Comprehensive Maintenance
Management Plan. The City of Eagan athletic facility standards are taken from the City of
Eagan Park Systems Plan. Those standards are as follows:
Facility 1 per X residents
Tennis 1750
Softball 2000
Hockey 3000
Soccer 5000
Baseball 8000
Figure B-1 is from the City of Eagan Park System Plan and indicates where the boundaries
for the Park Service Districts are located.
Please note:
The data provided in this report is less definitive than studies conducted with what would
be considered actual census data. Also the changed basis for computation suggests caution
in interpretation or comparison to previous studies.
Staff is of the opinion, that census figures are unable to provide the information needed to
complete this report. The census tracts do not match up with the Park Service Districts
boundaries.

COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DOROTHY PETERSON, SUPERINTENDENT OF RECREATION
DATE: MARCH 3, 1993
RE: UPDATE, MINNESOTA VALLEY TRAIL
Background
Over the past several months, staff has been meeting with representatives from agencies
such as the Minneapolis Park Board, City of St. Paul, MnDOT, DNR, Cities of Mendota
Heights, Bloomington, and Dakota County.
The focus is the Minnesota Valley Trail, local connectors and missing segments or
connectors. Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) funding is being
sought to assist with construction costs for completion of missing connections.
For the Commission's Information
Eagan Parks and Recreation will submit an ISTEA application for the Nichols Road/Cedar
Avenue Bridge connection to the Minnesota Valley Trail.
To enhance the opportunity for high ranking, each community will reference the broader
concept of interconnecting communities, facilities and recreational opportunities in its
ISTEA application.
In addition the Department is supporting an effort by Dakota County and the City of
Mendota Heights as they negotiate with MnDOT for the construction of underpasses for the
Soo Line Rarilroad bed during reconstruction of the Highway 110 on 13 interchange at the
Mendota Bridge. The Soo Line Railroad bed is a potential regional trail link in the Dakota
County trail plan.
No action on this item is required.

ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS
FEBRUARY 28,1993
1. ' The warming shelters at the skating sites closed February 21, the latest dosing in the last six
years. The tubing hill was open until February 28.
Weather cooperated in providing a good we surface for the broomball leagues and the boot
hockey league. The only outdoor league adversely affected was the 4-Man Hockey league
which experienced snow during half of the Wednesdays scheduled.
2. Softball registration has begun. Returning teams register March 1 - 12. New teams register
March 15 - 17. Play begins at the end of April.
3. An audience of over 400 people attended the February 28 performance of the Teddy Bear
Band. This constituted the Cabin Fever Relief Winter 1993 event. Admission was non-
perishable food items for the food shelf. Eight large boxes of food were donated.
4. The Seniors project with Northview Elementary School continues to progress. Six to ten seniors
regularly go to the school to interact with children in various capacities. And, 50 first graders
came to Oak Woods of Eagan again to read to, interview and enjoy a snack with seniors.
5. NYSCA coaches clinics will be held on March 31, April 3 and April 7. Staff anticipates that
over 200 coaches affiliated with Eagan Athletic Association and the Rosemount Area Athletic
Association will seek certification for soccer, softball, baseball and track. This program's focus
is on working with youth as individuals, introduces discussion on the role of winning in youth
sports and provides ideas about organizing practice and parents.
6. Although spring recreation program publicity is just now available to the community, plans for
summer programs have already been initiated. Numbers of returning staff should be known
by mid-month.
7. Recreation staff have attended a number of workshops during the past month. The Minnesota
Data Privacy workshop drew attention to the public classification of all municipal class rosters.
Of concern, is the Department's practice of not distributing babysitting class rosters.
The employee selection and interview workshop was helpful in providing exercises for
structuring interview questions to illicit responses that provide the information needed to assess
applicants capabilities.
8. With the conclusion of the winter skating and tubing hill operations, Maintenance staff have
been working on closing down these sites. This includes picking up all of the nets, gate boards,
interior and exterior matting, temporary shelters, etc. Park Maintenance Workers Paul Graham
and Alex Lammers have been spearheading this project.
9. As part of the forestry department's oak wilt control efforts, selected trees are being removed
from a wooded area of Northview Park. Park Maintenance Workers Scott Eppen, Don
Buecksler, and Gary Skogstad have been extensively involved in this operation, under the
guidance of City Forester Tom Schuster.
10. Park Maintenance Workers Alex Lammers and Paul Graham have been assisting the forestry
department in implementing a rotating tree pruning program. City Forester Tom Schuster has
devoted a great deal of time and effort into developing this program, and the city will be
assured of a park system of well formed, healthy trees as a result of his efforts.
11. With the curtailing of ice rink maintenance, the transition of equipment from snow and ice
maintenance to turf maintenance has began. While a major part of this operation consists of
changing over the attachments (snowblowers and brooms to mower decks) a detailed inspection
is also conducted at this time to minimize the potential for equipment breakdowns during the
intensive summer mowing program. In addition, efforts are being expended to ensure the city
receives the maximum allowance on the mower units scheduled for trade in. (Cleaning and
waxing, minor repairs, greasing, etc.) Park Maintenance Workers Steve Taylor and Dan Curtin
have been instrumental in these efforts.
12. Fabrication and installation of cab protectors for the rear windows of all the city pick up trucks
is currently underway. This was an item identified by the city's risk assessor. Park
Maintenance Worker Steve Hadden is in the process of completing this task for the all of the
maintenance divisions of the city . These protectors will greatly improve all vehicle operators
safety.
13. Fabrication of replacement hockey goals has begun. Once these new goals are completed, all
of our hockey rink sites will have a curved pipe design, instead of welded butt joints. These
newer goals are both safer for skaters because they do not have any sharp angles, and require
less maintenance because they have fewer welds. Input from all of the maintenance staff
contributed to this improved style of goal.
14. The cooperative effort to construct one of the most unique baseball fields in the state took a
giant step towards reality the weekend of February 20-21, when the Minnesota Air National
Guard installed the preconstructed panels on the 30' high by 150' long left field wall. This
project has involved assistance from a host of agencies, and will serve as an example of inter-
agency cooperation for years to come. The Sentencing to service crew from Dakota County
also painted 120 plywood panels that will be used for sponsor advertising at the fields.
15. Dorothy Peterson and John VonDeLinde have been actively involved in a consortium of
agencies from the Minnesota River Valley Area who are coordinating the development of trails
connections and linkages across community boundaries. In April, the City will be applying for
Federal ISTEA funds to construct a new trail along Nicols Road and Cedarvale Blvd. to
connect the City's trails system with the Cedar Avenue pedestrian bridge and state park trail.
16. Parks Superintendent John VonDeLinde participated in a focus group at Dakota Technical
College in March, examining alternatives for establishing a parks maintenance education and
training program for local governments. The college recently published a listing of four classes
that will be available beginning this spring.
17. Work has continued on the development of a "tree preservation and replacement policy" for the
City. It is expected that a draft will be available for Commission review in April.

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT
(DIFFLEY COMMONS 2ND ADDITION)
APPLICANT: THE ROTTLUND COMPANY
LOCATION: 10-02000-011-51
EXISTING ZONING: R-4 (MULTIPLE)
DATE OF PUBLIC BEARING: FEBRUARY 23, 1993
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 16, 1993
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary
Plat of 29.33 acres for 51 lots and 192 units.
LOCATION: The site is located directly south of Cedar Grove No. 7; west of Art Rahn
Addition and five unplatted parcels which abut Blackhawk Road; north of Sun Cliff 3rd
Addition and Diffley Road; and east of Diffley Commons.
COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE GUIDE PLAN: The proposed development is consistent
with the Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan designation of D-III Mixed Residential (6-12
units/acre).
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT: Diffley Commons 2nd Addition is located in the Eagan Hills
West Planned Development. The exhibits within the P.D. Agreement show a designation
of "high density, 16+ units/acre" for this portion of the P.D. Normally, a P.D. Amendment
would be required for a reduction in density such as is occurring with the Diffley Commons
development. However, the Eagan Hills West P.D. Agreement contains a provision that
states: "Less density shall be permitted at developer's sole discretion", therefore no P.D.
Amendment is required in this case.
SITE PLAN: The site plan indicates the total area is 29.33 acres. The Rottlund Company
is proposing a total of 26 buildings (192 total units) with three housing types: Villa, Atrium,
and Patio homes. Access to the site is provided from Beaver Dam Road where two public
cul-de-sacs (North and South Ruby Court) provide internal access. Along the east half of
the property is Pond AP-4 and in the NW corner abutting the first addition is a play area.
It is the intention of the applicant to develop the site in .two phases. The first phase will
include eight Villa buildings--one 4-unit building, four 12-unit buildings, and three 8-unit
buildings; five 4-unit Atrium homes and four Patio homes; one 4-unit building and three 8-
unit buildings. Both North and South Ruby Court would be constructed with the first phase.
s7
North Ruby Court is approximately 640' in length, 140' above the 500' cul-de-sac maximum
length required by the City. This cul-de-sac, however, is not a dead-end and provides access
to the private street. It is intended that all of Phase I be addressed off Ruby Court.
As proposed, all buildings meet, or exceed City setback requirements.
Phase II of the development is located south of South Ruby Court and a portion of Pond
AP-4.1 and Pond AP-4 and north of Diffley Road (County Road 30). This phase shall
include a total of nine buildings (68 units). Three 4-unit Atrium homes are located south
of the ponds and north of the private street (Sapphire Point) and six Villas (four 8-units and
two 12-unit buildings) are located to the south of Sapphire Point and abutting Diffley Road.
The two-story Villas located near the north property line and south along Diffley Road are
approximately 1,250 sq. ft. The exteriors have aluminum siding and brick accents. Interior
units have single car garages and end units have double car garages.
The Patio homes are located between North and South Ruby Courts. The single level Patio
homes are approximately 1,100 sq. ft. The exteriors are a mixture of aluminum siding and
brick. End units are slightly larger and have a two-car garage; interior homes have a single
car garage.
The 4-unit Atrium homes are located around the ponds in the interior of the plat. These
styles have aluminum siding and brick features and all have a double car garage.
The buildings are owner-occupied and meet exterior building code requirements for multiple
residential. The colors of the buildings are intended to be light grey, taupe, and beige.
City Code requires one enclosed, or underground garage space per unit and one outdoor
space per unit. The plan indicates a total of 439 total parking spaces for Phase I and 249
for Phase II. Three hundred eighty-four parking spaces are required by Code for the
project; a total of 688 parking spaces have provided for the entire project. Of that total, 96
are guest spaces. The project provides 304 above the total number required by Code.
The landscape plan was prepared to provide a variety of overstory and understory plant
material and year-round color and also tying in to the existing Diffley Commons Addition.
A tree survey was conducted on the east property line and around Pond AP-4. As proposed,
the applicants do not include disturbing the majority of those trees.
GRADING/DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL: The 29-acre site contains a mixture of
open grasslands and wooded areas. There is a 2.4 acre pond, which is Pond AP-4 on the
-City's Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan, along the east edge of this site.
Around the outside of the pond is an area of 2-3 acres of trees that the developer proposes
to save and protect. The developer is also proposing to save a 30-foot wide stretch of trees
along the southeast comer of this site where the development abuts single-family houses.
The 30-foot wide buffer will help to screen this site from the existing single-family houses
to the east. The preliminary grading plan also shows protecting an area of trees along the
north property line of approximately 0.2 acres. The rest of the site, which is approximately
26 acres, is proposed to be disturbed by the grading to prepare this area for the housing
units on this site.
The preliminary grading plan shows cuts of 16 feet in the southeast comer and fills of 12
feet in the north end of this site. In three different locations, retaining walls are shown to
be constructed. The developer will be required to submit detailed plans and specifications
of the retaining wall construction for City review and approval prior to final grading plan
approval.
The majority of the drainage from this site will be directed to a new water quality treatment
pond which will be located along the west edge of Pond AP-4. The water quality treatment
pond, Pond AP-4.1, is proposed to. outlet into .Pond AP-4.
Pond AP-4 currently does not have a storm sewer outlet and the outlet will be required to
accommodate the proposed development.
The outlet for Pond AP-4 shall be limited to a rate of 2 cfs. In the northwest comer of this
site is a 4.3 acre area that is proposed to drain to the existing storm sewer that was installed
with the Diffley Commons 1st Addition. This 4.3 acre area drains to Pond AP-35.1 which
is a water quality treatment pond constructed with the 1st Addition. Along the west edge
of this site, the developer proposes to drain a 2.2 acre area to the existing storm sewer
system in Beaver Dam Road. This 2.2 acre area will drain to Pond AP-35 which is in the
Diffley Commons 1st Addition area. Pond AP-35 and AP-35.1 have outlets that discharge
in a westerly direction to the Rahn Road storm sewer system.
The developer will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures
in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards to protect the
existing trees and pond in this area.
WATER QUALITY & WETLANDS: This proposed development lies in Drainage Basin A.
Storm sewer draining approximately 13 acres of this development is proposed to eventually
discharge to Pond AP-4, a pond designated for wildlife habitat in the City's water quality
management plan. To adequately protect water quality in Pond AP-4, a detention basin to
treat water from this drainage prior to discharge will be needed. Preliminary analysis
indicates the detention basin should be about 0.4 acres in surface area, and be at least 1.25
acre-feet in wet volume and 3.1-feet in mean depth at the normal water level. The 6.5 acres
of this development that will be served by ponding on the Diffley Commons 1st Addition
was designed to drain to these ponds and the ponds were sized accordingly with the 1st
Addition. A cash dedication will be recommended to meet water quality requirements for
any remaining developed area on the site.
A wetland inventory has been completed for the site by the developer. The only wetland
identified is the one associated with Pond AP-4. Staff will recommend that any draining or
filling of the wetland complex be'avoided during the development of the parcel as well as
during the installation and operation of an outlet from Pond AP-4.
These recommendations are subject to the approval of the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and
Natural Resources Commission.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service is readily available to serve this site from Diffley Road
to the south, Beaver Dam Road to the west and from an existing 8" line that runs along
property in the northeast corner of this site. The preliminary utility plan shows connecting
to three 8" sanitary sewer stubs that were provided to this site from the Diffley Commons
1st Addition.
Water main of adequate pressure and capacity is readily available to serve this site from an
existing 18" water main in Diffley Road, from an existing 8" water main in Beaver Dam
Road and from an existing 6" line that has been stubbed to this site from Kathryn Circle.
The preliminary utility plan shows an 8" looping water main that would connect to the 18"
line on Diffley Road and two connections to the existing water main on Beaver Dam Road.
Water pressures in this area of the City, which is within the intermediate pressure zone, are
relatively low. Staff recommends that all lateral water mains within the development be a
minimum size of 8". City staff recommends that the developer also connect to the 6" water
main on Kathryn Circle. The loop on Kathryn Circle would provide another east/west feed
to the trunk water main on Blackhawk Road and it would improve the quality of the water
to the houses on Kathryn Circle.
City staff recommends that a 6" sanitary sewer service and 4" DIP water service line be
provided to each building.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Street access is available to serve this site from
Beaver Dam Road which is a 44-foot wide street constructed by the Diffley Commons 1st
Addition. Diffley Road, which abuts along the south property line of this site, is not
proposed to have any access directly to it from this site. The preliminary site plan shows
construction of two cul-de-sacs that would be publicly maintained that would connect to
Beaver Dam Road to serve this site. Off of the two cul-de-sacs would be a system of private
streets that shall be constructed to City standards as outlined in the City code. The
preliminary site plan also shows one private street that will connect to Beaver Dam Road
along the west edge of this site.
EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS: The preliminary plat is showing that an
additional 15 feet of right-of-way will be dedicated along the south edge of this site where
it abuts Diffley Road. No additional right-of-way is required for Beaver Dam Road. The
(co.
final plat shall include permanent drainage and utility easements to cover the proposed
sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer lines that will serve this site. Also, permanent
ponding easements shall be dedicated over Ponds AP-4 and AP-4.1.
This new development will be responsible for obtaining all regulatory agency permits such
as MPCA, MWCC, MN Department of Health, Dakota County, etc., prior to final plat
approval.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - Diffley Commons 2nd

APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a Planned
Development Amendment to allow a health club, a Preliminary Plat of Outlot A, Galaxie
Cliff Plaza 2nd Addition, and Outlot E, Galaxie Cliff Plaza, consisting of three lots on 14
acres located within the Galaxie Cliff Plaza Planned Development, and a Conditional Use
Permit for a pylon sign for the site on Plaza Drive, west of Galaxie Avenue and south of
Cliff Road.
BACKGROUND: The Galaxie Cliff Plaza Planned Development was approved in October
1988. The Planned Development Agreement permitted Limited Business zoning district uses
and specifically excluded: radio/TV, outdoor storage, lodges, outdoor swimming pools,
garden stores, movie theaters and municipal-type buildings.
The Limited Business zoning district does not list "health club" as an allowed use, however
"health center" is an allowed use. The Community Shopping Center zoning district lists
"sports and health clubs" as a permitted use. Therefore, staff requested the City Attorney's
office to differentiate between these uses (see City Attorney Dougherty's memo attached).
EXISTING CONDITIONS: The health club site adjacent to Park Nicollet has a rolling
topography that contains mainly scrub growth. The additional parking area (proposed Lot
1, Block 2) contains mild slopes and a small grouping of trees. Adjacent land uses include
the Park Nicollet Clinic to the north, vacant Roadside Business property to the south, I-35E
to the west, and single family residential across Galaxie Avenue to the east.
COMMENTS: The applicant is proposing a three-lot plat that includes a health club on
the 3.7 acre Lot 1, Block 1, additional health club parking on the 1.7 acre Lot 1, Block 2,
and a ponding area with no current development plans on the 8.5 acre Lot 2, Block 2.
Because there is no pending development for the proposed Lot 2, Block 2, this lot should
be platted as an outlot.
The all brick health and fitness club will be the second one of its kind. According to the
applicant, the club provides ongoing education and the largest variety of exercise equipment
in the Twin Cities. The club will be open 24 hours a day and provides an indoor pool and
whirlpool, free weights, aerobics, cardiovascular equipment, and exercise equipment. At
staff's request, additional windows were added pool side facing Galaxie Avenue.
The three-stepped building has elevations of 14,', 18', and 22' that utilize the site topography
to reduce any visual impact to the Park Nicollet Clinic.
The City Code allows a maximum building coverage of 20% in the Limited Business zoning
district. As proposed, the health club covers 20.8% of Lot 1, Block 1. The site plan must
be revised to reduce the building floor area by 1,316 sq. ft. or the City Council must approve
a Variance to the maximum lot coverage requirement.
Galaxie Cliff Plaza 2nd Addition (Park Nicollet) approved in 1990 was required to provide
cross-parking and ingress/egress easements. This existing access will only provide service
vehicle access to the rear of the proposed building. This design eliminates shared parking
possibilities between the Park Nicollet Clinic and the proposed health club site.
SITE PLAN: A new access to the site is proposed off Plaza Drive. The plan calls for a
33,630 sq. ft. building and 158 on-site parking spaces. Directly across Plaza Drive is an
additional parking area providing 100 spaces. The Eagan City Code does not state a specific
requirement for off-street parking with this type of use, but provides that the City Council
shall determine the adequacy of parking when approving a site plan. As proposed, the
parking on the health club site combined with the additional parking across the street
provides a total of 258 off-street parking spaces which translates to one space per 130 sq.
ft. of floor area. All building, parking, and drive aisle setback requirements are met.
All proposed signage meets City Sign Code size and setback requirements and will be
subject to Sign Code requirements and the one-time sign fee of $2.50/sq. ft.
LANDSCAPE PLAN: The preliminary landscape plan provides a mixture of overstory,
understory, and coniferous trees that will provide year-round color. Berming will be required
along all parking areas and underground irrigation will be required for all landscaped areas.
~ir+ .
GRADING/DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL: The existing site contains rolling
topography with a few small trees. The preliminary grading plan proposes to grade a
majority of this site. The maximum fill shown is 18 feet and the maximum cut is proposed
to be 10 feet. The developer proposes to construct two 6-foot high retaining walls along
the 35E property line along the northwest corner of this site. The developer is required to
submit detailed plans and specifications of the retaining walls prior to final grading permit
issuance for City staff review and approval.
The drainage from this site is proposed to connect to the existing storm sewer that was
constructed in Plaza Drive. The storm sewer in Plaza Drive will convey the storm water
runoff to Pond AP-14 which is a pond on the City's Comprehensive Storm Water
Management Plan. The proposed catch basins in the parking lot should be located along
the gutter lines in thy concrete curb and gutter to avoid bituminous swales through the
parking lot.
The construction of the parking lot on Lot 1 of Block 2 will create a landlocked low area
along the common property line in between Lots 1 and 2 of Block 2. The development will
be responsible for extending storm sewer to drain the landlocked low area to the existing
storm sewer on Plaza Drive.
The development will be responsible for providing erosion control measures that will limit
the deposition of sediments from this site to the existing storm sewer system and Pond AP-
14.
WATER QUALITY: This proposed development will generate stormwater runoff that will
discharge to Pond AP-14, a shallow sediment basin. Pond AP-14 in turn discharges to Pond
AP-15, then to Pond AP-42, then to Cliff Lake, a recreational classified lake in the City's
water quality management plan. As currently proposed, the development now encompasses
approximately 14 acres and includes Pond AP-14. Staff recommends that the developer
expand by 8,000 cubic yards (5.0 acre feet) the wet pond volume in Pond AP-14 to meet the
water quality requirements for the 14 acre development.
The developer is also required to provide information on any wetlands on the site and
identify impacts and mitigation proposals as appropriate. The report is due to staff by
Friday, February 19, 1993.
These recommendations are subject to approval by the Parks, Recreation, and Natural
Resources Commission.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer is readily available to serve this development from an existing
8" line on Plaza Drive. The proposed health and fitness club proposes to connect to an 8"
sanitary sewer stub off Plaza Drive and extend the line up to the building. The proposed
parking lot on Lot 1 of Block 2 will not need sanitary sewer service but the future
development of Lot 2 of Block 2 will require the extension of the 8" sanitary sewer that has
been stubbed off Plaza Drive to the northwest comer of the lot from Lot 1.
'7 1.
Water main of sufficient pressure and capacity is readily available to serve this development
from Plaza Drive. An 8" line was constructed in Plaza Drive and stubs were provided for
this site. The preliminary utility plan shows extending water up to the building from a 6"
water main stub from Plaza Drive. The water main layout for the health and fitness club
shall include a hydrant along the west side of the building to provide fire protection to this
development.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Street access is available to this development from
Plaza Drive which is a 36 foot wide bituminous street with concrete curb and gutter. Plaza
Drive was constructed by the City in 1990 under,City Project #598. The preliminary site
plan shows one driveway connection off Plaza Drive to the proposed parking lot on Lot 1
of Block 1 and one driveway connection for the proposed parking lot on Lot 1 of Block 2.
The proposed accesses are shown to be opposite of each other as they connect to Plaza
Drive. The driveway openings onto Plaza Drive shall contain concrete aprons as shown on
Eagan Detail Plate #440 for commercial entrances.
The existing driveway for the Park Nicollet Clinic in the Galaxie Cliff Plaza 2nd Addition
development was constructed along the northeast property line of Lot 1 of Block 1 of this
development. The existing driveway contains bituminous curb along the west side of the
driveway and this bituminous curb shall be removed and concrete curb and gutter shall be
installed in its place with this development.
EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS: The right-of-way for Plaza Drive as dedicated
with the Galaxie Cliff Plaza 2nd Addition is 70 feet. No additional right-of-way will be
needed from this development. The proposed sanitary sewer and storm sewer lines that will
cross from Lot 1 of Block 2 and stub into Lot 2 of Block 2 will be public and require public
utility easements be provided over these lines.
This development will be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits such as MPCA,
MWCC, MN Department of Health, MnDOT, etc, prior to final plat approval.

RE: Health Centers Within Jimitec Business Districts
Our File No. 206-1127
I have had an opportunity to review the City files regarding the
original application for Galaxie Cliff development and in particular
the minutes surrounding the Planned Development Agreement.
At its regular meeting of August 2, 1988, the City Council addressed
a concept plan for Galaxie Cliff property which included a proposed
site for a U.S. Swim and Fitness facility. At the meeting, then
Councilmen. :er Egan states: that he felt that the U. S. Swim and Fitness
did not seem tc fit LB District. City Administrator, Hedges
indicated that it was unclear what a health center mr-ins in the
limited business context, and City Attorney Sheldon state the is..ie
had not been researched. Thereafter, Councilmember Wachter expressed
his opposition to the U.S. Swim and Fitness club and recommended
sending the matter back to the APC.
he City ".ounc':' took ._zis matter up again on September 6, 1988, at
is regul ly !::heduled meeting. As before, then Councilmember Egan
.stated th< need to exclude a proposed restaurant and the U.S. Swim
and Fitness from the proposed plan. Thereafte,.; Councilmember
Gustafson motioned and c,-uncilmember McCrea seconded the "approval of
t.e conceF'-ual plan fc Galaxie Cliff eliminating the health and
fitness fa=ili- the ..-staurant and _he retail store and that they
be referenced outl• and other uses." This was approved 4 to 1,
then Councilmember Egan siting to oppose. Thereafter, the project was
approved on a vote of 5 to 0, to include a Planned Development
Agreement for a five-year period prohibiting a number of items as
allowed uses within the Gala}:ie Cliff area.
NOTE: The September 6, 1988 minutes to approve the developer :.t,
prohibited swimming pools from being an allowed use. However, .he
Planned Development Agreement which was subsequently approved 5-0
by the City Council in October of 1988, only prohibited outdoor
swimming pools.
I thought it would be helpful to graphically illustrate the layout of
the type of activity allowed in each zone for purposes of analyzing
the distinction of uses set out in the Limited Business District.

None of the uses identified in the Limited Business District is
defined within the Eagan City Code. Our experience, is that when a
court is asked to review and interpret an ordinance or statute,
wherein a word is undefined or is subject to multiple
interpretations, the court will (a) always give the word its plain
meaning (i.e. dictionary term); and (b) when appropriate, define the
word as it is utilized in other laws, regulations or previous court
decisions.
In interpreting the uses under Limited Business as noted above, the
following should help define the terms used in the ordinance. Under
permitted uses, one of the uses allowed is a clinic for human care.
The dictionary definition of clinic is: "an institution associated
with a hospital or medical school that deals chiefly with out
patients; a medical establishment run by several specialists; or,.a
center that offers counsel or instruction." Additionally, under the
Minnesota Rules, a clinic is defined as "a physicians office
primarily used for out patient treatment."
Also, the Code provides a health center as an institutional use. The
dictionary definition of institutional is "the building or buildings
housing an established organization or foundation, especially one
dedicated to public service." Further, public service is defined as
"a service performed for the benefit of the public (i.e. not for
profit)." The next logical step is to determine what a health center
is, in light of a building for public service. It would seem logical
that a health center provides health services. Under Minnesota Rules,
health services are defined as: "the services and supplies furnished
to a recipient by a provider for in-patient hospital services;
skilled and intermediate nursing care; physician services; out
patient and physician directed clinic services; community mental
health center services; home health services; private duty nursing;
physical therapy; occupational therapy; dental services; laboratory
and x-ray services; hospice care; day treatment services; special
education services; public health nursing clinic services; etc."
While some of these noted uses are distinctly set out in the Eagan
Code as conditional uses under the Limited Business District, it is
obvious that there are many more facilities or types of health
service facilities addressed in the Rules. Moreover, though the
distinction may be more in identification, as opposed to practice, it
is arguable that the difference between the permitted and conditional
uses in the Limited Business District, stems from the definition in a
not for profit activity versus a for profit venture.
I hope the foregoing is a useful tool in the analysis of the LB
classifications and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to be in contact with me.

CITY OF
EAGAN
SUBJECT: PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
APPLICANT: FOUR CROWN INC. dba WENDY'S
LOCATION: LOT 1, BLOCK 2, DUCKWOOD CROSSINGS
EXISTING ZONING: PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1993
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 16, 1993
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a Planned
Development Amendment to allow a Class II restaurant on Lot 1, Block 2, Duckwood
Crossings, and a Conditional Use Permit for a pylon sign.
LOCATION: Lot 1, Block 2, Duckwood Crossings is located west along Pilot Knob Road,
south of Crestridge Lane and Chili's restaurant (under construction), and east of I-35E.
BACKGROUND & LAND USES: The zoning to the south and west is Agriculture, east
across Pilot Knob Road is R-3 (Townhouse) and R-1 (Single Family), and the site and north
of Crestridge Lane is Planned Development. The Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan
map designates this site as GB (General Business), as well as the area to the north. West
of the site is guided LB (Limited Business); south of the site is D-II Mixed Residential (0-6
units/acre).
Originally, the subject property was part of the Pondview Planned Development approved
July 12, 1988 which allowed modified General Business district uses. The Pondview Planned
Development was amended when the Duckwood Crossings plat was approved in October
1989 for the development of a convenience gas station on Lot 1, Block 1; retail strip center
on Lot 2, Block 1; and a 6,500 sq. ft. Class I restaurant on Lot 1, Block 2. Holiday Station
Store is existing on Lot 1, Block 1, and in August 1992 a Planned Development Amendment
and Conditional Use Permit were approved changing the designated land use from a retail
strip center to a Class I restaurant (Chili's).
EXISTING CONDITIONS: The northern portion of the site is relatively open and minimal
slope with the exception of the severe slope in the SW corner; the southern portion contains
some mature trees that can be saved with careful grading.
COMMENTS: The purpose for the Planned Development Amendment is to allow a Class
II restaurant. Four Crown Inc. is proposing a 3,060 sq. ft. Wendy's restaurant with 122
seating capacity. Total parking for the site is 41 parking stalls, including one handicap. The
landscape plan submitted reflects a continuation of the entire Planned Development.
The single story brick building has a drive-thru located on the east side of the building, the
menu board located south of the building. The site is facilitated by two access points along
Crestridge Lane. It is the intention of the applicant for the site to function with one way
traffic, entering through the west driveway access and exiting through the easterly access
points. Directional signs will be located at these access points.
This site plan was submitted for review by the City's traffic consultants, Short, Elliott,
Hendrickson (attached).
The truck circulation concerns related in the traffic study do not reflect that Wendy's
receives no semi-truck delivery during customer hours. Deliveries are made between
midnight and 6:00 a.m.
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a pylon sign. The sign meets, or
exceeds all height and setback requirements. The pylon sign location shall be noted on the
sign exhibit.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The existing site contains a wooded steep
slope along the south edge and flat grassy areas along the north edge of this site. The
preliminary grading plan submitted with this application shows considerable amount of fill
will need to be placed in order to prepare this site for development. The maximum amount
of fill shown is 12 feet and the maximum cut is 2 feet. Also, the final grading plan should
contain 3 foot berms along the Pilot Knob Road boulevard to help screen the parking lot.
The grading plan should be revised to allow the development to match at the top of the hill
the steep slopes along the south edge of the site. The development is required to maintain
a 50 foot buffer zone above the HWL of Pond JP-3. The buffer zone will help to control
erosion from this site and preserve the existing grasses and trees in this steep sloped area.
Drainage from this development shall connect to the existing 12" storm sewer stub provided
from Crestridge Drive. The storm sewer in Crestridge Drive will convey the runoff to Pond
JP-3 which is along the south edge of the site. Pond JP-3 is a pond on the City's
Comprehensive Storm Water system, and the pond outlets into Fish Lake. 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 AND WETLANDS: The preliminary plat for this development was
approved in 1989 and is therefore grandfathered with respect to the City's water quality
ordinance (which became effective in April 1990) and the state Wetlands Conservation Act
which grandfathers developments receiving plat approvals during the five years prior to
January 1, 1992. However, the developer will be requested to route all storm runoff from
paved areas of the property to the western-most discharge point to Pond JP-3 and to
excavate sumps where storm sewers serve the development. It should also be noted that
Pond JP-3 is a protected wetland and that any modification of the pond cross-section below
the ordinary high water level must be permitted by MnDNR.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient size, capacity and depth is readily available
to serve this site from an 8" line in Pilot Knob Road. The service line from the 8" sanitary
sewer line in Pilot Knob Road up to the proposed building shall contain a manhole at the
right-of-way line of Pilot Knob Road.
Water main of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is available to serve this development
from an existing 6" water main that runs along the west right-of-way of Pilot Knob Road.
The existing hydrants in this area will provide adequate fire protection to serve this site.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: The preliminary site plan shows construction of two
driveway accesses to the north that will connect to Crestridge Drive. Crestridge Drive was
constructed during the Fall of 1992 and a concrete apron for a single driveway opening on
the west edge of the site was provided with the upgrading of the street. The upgrading of
Crestridge Drive provided for two eastbound lanes at Pilot Knob Road. One is for right-
turn-only and the other is a left-turn or straight-through lane for Crestridge Drive. This
second easterly driveway access as proposed is too close to Pilot Knob Road as existing
~l'7.
traffic will create conflicting and congested traffic conditions on a City street with potential
for adverse impact on Pilot Knob Road. This concern was evaluated and taken into
consideration when Crestridge Drive was designed and constructed with a single access at
the west property line adequate to handle two-way traffic (ingress/egress) from this site.
For additional comments regarding the Wendy's/Crestridge Drive access, refer to the SEH
memo dated February 16, 1993 that is included with this report.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - Lot 1, Block 2, Duckwood Crossings 16-CU-1-1-93
Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the uses proposed
for the property, the following charges are proposed. The charges are computed using the
City's existing fee schedule and connections proposed to be made to the City's utility system
based on the submitted plans.
Improvement Use Rate Quantity Amount
There are $27,244 of levied assessments against this parcel.

6. The development is required to maintain a 50-foot buffer zone above the HWL
of Pond JP-3.
7. Drainage from this development shall connect to the existing 12" storm sewer stub
provided from Crestridge Drive.
8. The sanitary sewer service line from the 8" sanitary sewer line in Pilot Knob Road
to the proposed building shall include a manhole at the right-of-way line of Pilot
Knob Road.
9. The easterly access to this site as proposed on the preliminary site plan shall not
be allowed because of its close proximity to the Pilot Knob Road intersection.
If approved, the Conditional Use Permit shall be subject to the following conditions:
1. The pylon sign Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded with Dakota County
within 60 days of City Council action with documentation provided to the City.
2. All signs shall be subject to a one-time sign fee of $2.50/sq. ft.

February 16,1993 RE: Eagan, Minnesota
Wendy's, Crestridge Drive
SEH File No. 89040
Mr. Jim Sturm
City of Eagan
3830 Pilot Knob Road
Eagan, MN 55122-1897
Dear Mr. Sturm:
As you requested on Friday, February 12th, we have reviewed the proposed site plan and
driveway locations for Wendy's at the southwest corner of Pilot Knob Road and
Crestridge Drive. As part of our review, we have looked at access locations, the parking
area, semi and trash truck circulation on the site and drive-*m operation.
Access
The westerly inbound driveway does not appear to be a problem The driveway is
approximately 150' west of Pilot Knob Road and is intended to be used as an Inbound
only" access. Due to the angle of the proposed parking spaces and the directional flow of
the drive-thru, it is not likely that this driveway will be mistakenly used as an outbound
driveway. The driveway should clearly be signed as the entrance to the site and pavement
striping (arrows) showing the proper directional flow of the traffic should be provided in
the driveway and continued throughout the site.
The proposed "outbound only" driveway located east of the Wendy's building presents
other concerns. According to the site plan which was faxed to us (here is approximately
65 to 70 feet between Pilot Knob Road and the easterly curb of this driveway. This
provides storage capacity (or stacking area) for approximately three vehicles waiting on
C restridge Drive to pull out onto Pilot Knob Road. Since the Pilot Knob Road and
Crestridge Drive intersection is not signalized, and Pilot Knob Road is a very heavily
traveled major arterial, it is very likely that a minimum of three cars or more will be
queued on eastbound Crestridge Drive at Pilot Knob Road waiting to pull out onto the
roadway. During the heavier turnover times of some of the uses of sites along Crestridge
Drive, such as the end of the noon hour at Chili's or the late afternoon from the medical
office building, the flow of outbound vehicles on Crestridge Drive can be expected to
block the outbound Wendy's driveway periodically.
if drivers mistakenly try to enter the easterly driveway, this will cause traffic flow
problems on westbound Crestridge Drive which could affect traffic flow on Pilot Knob
Road. Vehicles turning off of Pilot Knob Road would be blocked from proceeding by the

vehicle that is waiting to turn through the queue of traffic into the easterly Wendy's
driveway. Drivers will generally realize their mistake after trying to turn at this location
and getting pressured to move out of the way by vehicles behind them. Also, through
prcmiinent "Entrance" and "Exit Only" signs at the two driveways and the use of a "Do
Not Enter" sign at the easterly driveway, we believe that this situation will rarely occur.
What should be recognized is the strong potential for traffic exiting the Wendy's site to
queue on the site while waiting for the Crestridge Drive traffic to clear in front of the
outbound driveway. The backup of this traffic has the potential of blocking the parking
spaces closest to Crestzidge Drive as well as the ability of vehicles In the drive-thru to
proceed away from the pick-up area. During busy periods, the City can expect to see
drivers sitting perpendicular to the Sow of traffic on Crestridge Drive in the eastbound
right turn lane waiting for an opportunity to pull into the eastbound left turn/thru lane.
This will certainly result in inconvenience to drivers and some potential safety concerns.
Over time, more and more of the left turning traffic is likely to use the northerly
connection of Crestridge Drive to Pilot Knob Road (at Duckwood Drive), as this
intersection is signalized. This will reduce the queue of traffic on Crestridge Drive.
The proposed inbound driveway west of the building and outbound drive east of the
building is certainly a better option than if the inbound and outbound flow were to be
switched: However, as discussed above, this does not completely eliminate some of the
traffic operations concerns associated with the location of the east driveway and Its close
proximity to Pilot Knob Road.
Parking
The main concern with regard to parking Is the location of parking spaces on the east and
the south side of the site. It is not clear on the site plan whether or not a customer doorway
will be provided on the east side of the building. If not, customers who park on the east
side of the site will be required to walk through the drive-thru lane and around the
building to get into the restaurant.
Truck Circulation
Because of the angle of the southwest corner of the site, it will be very difficult for
semitrucks to maneuver into the delivery area behind the building. If semitrucks park
along the edge of the site near the delivery area, the truck, combined with vehicles in the
drive-thru lane, would block the drive aisle for customers who need to circulate around
the site to the outbound driveway, or to the parking stalls on the east side of the building.
Furthermore, in order for a truck to exit the "outbound only" driveway, It would be
necessary to use almost the entire width of the south portion of the site, including the
south, portion of the parking along the east side of the site. A truck exiting the site at the
"outbound only" driveway, will most likely use both eastbound lanes on Crestridge

Drive since there is not adequate distance between the driveway and Pilot Knob Road for
the truck driver to position the truck in only one lane. Depending on the frequency of
deliveries, and the time of day during which deliveries are made, this may not be a
serious problem. We suggest that the City place restrictions on the hours of delivery to
ensure no trucks on the site during business hours.
Drindbo 029011M
The drive-thru lane can be expected to operate quite well provided that drivers waiting
in the approach to the menu board stay close to the left side of the drive aisle, leaving
enough width for other vehicles to circulate around them along the edge of the site.
During times when the pavement is not covered with snow and ice, this could be
accomplished by striping delineating the approach to the menu board. Since pavement
striping is not visible year round, and drivers do not necessarily follow It consistently,
occasional problems should be expected near the approach to the menu board in terms of
delay to vehicles proceeding around to the parking on the east side of the site, or to the
outbound driveway.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at 490-2071.
