Commission Members Frankie Hall and David Szott were not present. Staff present included Dorothy Peterson, Superintendent of Recreation; John VonDeLinde, Parks Superintendent; Rich Brasch, Water Resources Coordinator; Paula Nowariak, Recreation Supervisor; Mike Ridley, Project Planner and Cherryl Mesko, Secretary. AGENDA Superintendent of Recreation Peterson added "Joint Meeting with City Council" under Other Business and Reports. Dan Mooradian moved, John Rudolph seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the agenda as amended. MINUTES OF AUGUST 5, 1993 REGULAR MEETING Lee Markell moved, Stephen Thompson seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the minutes of August 5, 1993 as presented. CONSENT AGENDA Ted Billy moved, Dan Mooradian seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following recommendations to the City Council: Town Centre 100- 13th Addition. No parks dedication is required since it has been fulfilled with the P.U.D. No trails dedication is required, however, Outlot B, which abuts Town Centre Drive will be required to install a trail at the time of development. The development will be subject to a water quality cash dedication based on the area of Lot 1, Block 1 only. There are no wetland issues associated with this parcel and this development will not be required to submit a Tree Preservation Plan. KINGS WOOD - 3RD ADDITION Superintendent of Recreation Peterson introduced this item as a Preliminary Plat application for the Kings Wood 3rd Addition located between 1-35E and Pilot Knob Road just south of Englert Road. Project Planner Ridley continued that the application consists of 42 single family lots on approximately 28 previously zoned R-1 (Single Family) acres. Mike added that the area has been downsized from 48 single family units to the current application for 42 units. It was noted that both the Advisory Planning Commission and the City Council have approved this application. Rollie Crawford, attorney representing Horne Development, clarified that the earlier plat included 49 lots rather than the 48 as indicated earlier. Mr. Crawford continued that the developer has reviewed the staffs' reports and agree with them indicating they have done a great deal to reduce grading and tree removal on site. Mr. Crawford added that Mr. Horne is passionate about tree preservation and has planned the development accordingly. He did express the developer's reluctance to excavate up to 1.2 acre feet of sediment from Pond JP-5 noting that there is a MnDot easement over the pond and suggested that MnDot may not authorize the excavation of this pond. Mr. Crawford continued that it is the developer's position that the sediment in the pond is from Highway 35-E and Pilot Knob Road with only a small portion coming from this development. The developer felt as though he was being asked to clean out a sediment pond that was created by the City of Eagan and MnDot. S. Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of September 9, 1993 Meeting Page 2 Relative to the recommendation for a reconstructed outlet from Pond JP-5 along with a skimmer constructed on the outlet, Mr. Crawford explained that the City constructed this outlet and the developer did not feel it was fair to ask that the developer be responsible for this reconstruction work as part of this development. Mr. Crawford also noted that the recommendation to create .37 acres of replacement wetland on site would require removal of trees and asked that the replacement be less than .3 acre. He also noted that since this subdivision has previously been approved the Tree Preservation Guidelines do not apply with this development. Mr. Crawford continued that the developer does not agree with the individual lot tree preservation plan as requested by staff. He noted that it is more appropriate for tree preservation to occur at the time an entire site is graded and therefore did not feel they should provide individual lot surveys. Mr. Crawford also clarified that the Tree Preservation Guidelines did not apply to this development. In clarifying the reconstructed outlot from Pond JP-5, Rich Brasch explained that Public Works is requiring the reconstruction of this outlet to allow a raise in the normal water elevation of Pond JP-5 by one foot, should such a raise become both feasible and desirable in the future. Regarding the easement MnDot holds over Pond JP-5,Rich noted that he would contact MnDot regarding this item but felt they would be supportive of the City's recommendation. Rich further clarified that a skimmer was being recommended by Public Works to keep any floating debris from getting to Blackhawk Lake. In response to a question from Mr. Billy, Rich noted that if the outlot from Pond JP-5 is reconstructed, the cost for installing rails to prevent debris from getting through would be approximately $2-300. John VonDeLinde noted that Mr. Crawford's assessment relative to the Tree Preservation Guidelines for this development was correct. John added that individual lot tree preservation plans would not be a condition of this preliminary plat, however, it would impact future development. After Mr. Markell asked why there was a design change in the wetland, Mr. Crawford responded that the County and City had designated the entrance location to this residential site. Because it is located where it is, it becomes necessary to impact the wetland in order to provide continued access to this development. The developer has been attempting to bend the entrance road to minimize wetland impact, however, he noted that if the wetland replacement is required, the MnDot pond will need to be increased resulting in tree loss and cutting into the existing slopes. Bob Weigert of Paramount Engineering responded to a question regarding accessibility to the homes on the northern portion of the site. Mr. Weigert continued that the City Council wanted the private drive to continue to the north as well as have utility services provided to the top of the hill for future development of the land to the north. Mr. Markell asked if it was feasible for the developer to provide a conservation easement around the pond to provide a trail for the homeowners within the development. Mr. Weigert noted that a 30 foot buffer has been provided around the pond, however a trail easement wasn't considered because of the grading and construction necessary which would remove several trees.. Mr. Horne stated that homeowners do not want a trail. Mr. Markell asked how restrictive the 30 foot buffer was. Mr. Weigert explained that it was not a scenic easement therefore homeowners are not restricted from removing vegetation. The developer's attempt was to reduce grading on the site by the builders but not to restrict homeowners access and use of that area. After further discussion, Deborah Johnson moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded the motion to make the following recommendations to the City Council relative to Kingswood 3rd Addition: The proposal be subject to a cash parks dedication for the 16 lots not part of the Blackhawk P.U.D. 2. The proposal be subject to a cash trails dedication for the 42 lots within the development. \?o, Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of September 9, 1993 Meeting Page 3 3. The developer be responsible for excavating up to 1.2 acre -feet of sediment from Pond JP-5 contingent upon approval by MnDot. The excavation plan must be approved by City water resources staff. 4. The reconstructed outlet from Pond JP-5 must include the physical features to allow a raise in the normal water elevation of Pond JP-5 by one foot, should such a raise become both feasible and desirable in the future. A skimmer is to be constructed on the outlet of Pond JP-5. 6. The developer is authorized to fill the .37 acre wetland in the northeast corner of the site to allow construction of the entrance road. The developer will be responsible for creating .37 acres of replacement wetland on the site, with the design of the replacement wetland subject to staff approval. 7. This preliminary plat proposal complies with the City's Tree Preservation Guidelines therefore the developer will not be responsible for any tree replacement at this time. 8. The construction of single family homes on wooded lots will require the submission of individual lot tree preservation plans. Commission Members voting for the motion included Stephen Thompson, Deborah Johnson, Dan Mooradian, George Kubik, Ted Billy, John Rudolph, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen and Jonathan Widem. Commission Member Lee Markell was opposed. The motion passed on an 8-1 vote. UNITED STATIONERS Superintendent of Recreation Peterson introduced this item as a preliminary plat application to add approximately 80,000 square foot to an existing United Stationers development to allow for future expansion of the existing building. Project Planner Ridley continued that the applicant currently has a 150,000 sq. ft. building located on Lot 1, Block 1,, R.L. Johnson 1st Addition and is proposing a split involving the northern 80,000 sq. ft. of the 5.12 acre Lot 2, Block 1, Sibley Terminal Industrial Park Addition. This acquisition will allow an expansion of approximately 40,000 sq. ft. fora total building square footage of approximately 190,000 sq. ft. on the 12.4 acre lot. Mike added that there are no development plans with this proposed plat and building expansion is undetermined at this point. Water Resources Coordinator Brasch identified several items for the Commission to consider relative to water quality and wetlands issues. After a brief discussion, Stephen Thompson moved, Deborah Johnson seconded with all members voting in favor to make the following recommendations to the City Council relative to United Stationers: 1. There is no park dedication requirement sing the property has already been platted. 2. There is no trails dedication requirement with this plat. 3. A cash water quality dedication for the site will be required and will be based on the difference in impervious coverage of the site between existing and future conditions. 4. The developer must demonstrate compliance with the Wetland Conservation Act prior to preliminary plat approval. This will include hiring a qualified wetlands consultant to determine the status of the possible wetland to the south west of the existing building. 'l . Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of September 9, 1993 Meeting Page 4 An easement across the developer's property sufficient to all re-routing of the storm sewer along Alexander Road to Pond CP-8 should be required as a condition of the plat. Future expansion plans for United Stationers are to be reviewed and required to meet Tree Preservation Guidelines. GARDENWOOD PONDS TRAIL Superintendent of Recreation Peterson explained that the Commission has previously reviewed the proposed Gardenwood Ponds plat but since that review, the developer has negotiated acquisition of two outlots, C & D previously owned by Sienna Corporation. The Commission had previously recommended that staff attempt to acquire the two outlots for park purposes to provide sufficient room around an existing pond for a trailway in Wandering Walk Park, however, they were not successful in acquired both outlots. It was noted that Argus Development will continue with the acquisition of the two outlots and provide a 50 foot easement to the City of Eagan to allow for the trailway in lieu of the City taking a portion of the outlots as parks dedication. The developer noted that the easement would allow the outlots to be used as buildable lots but if a portion of the land had to be dedicated for parks purposes there would not be sufficient room to develop lots,therefore, no incentive on the developer's part to acquire Outlots C and D from Sienna Corporation. After further discussion, Erin lpsen-Borgersen moved, Stephen Thompson seconded, with all members voting in favor to have staff pursue a 50 foot easement on the west side of the pond to facilitate a trail which should be constructed at the earliest opportunity to clarify for future homeowners the existence of a trail on the property. MAJESTIC OAKS UPDATE Water Resources Coordinator Brasch explained that this item had been reviewed at the August 5th meeting and the Commission asked staff to pursue the option of changing the 30 foot setback from the edge of the wetland to a 50 foot conservation easement. The Commission also asked if the northern cul-de-sac could be moved to the west the maximum extent possible. Rich added that he had written a letter to the developer about these issues but had not received a response to date. Brad Swenson, representing this development addressed the Commission noting that he would like to see some flexibility regarding the conservation easement issue. He explained that a homeowner should have the option of using the property they have purchased and some homeowners may find this too restrictive if they want to do some landscaping in that portion of their property. Relative to the cul-de-sac being moved to the west, Mr. Swenson was supportive of that option. Lee Markell commented that it appears this is an issue that can be worked out with the developer and suggested that staff, Commission Members and the developer sit down to work out some criteria to allow some use by the homeowner within the 50 foot easement area, but also protect that area. Stephen Thompson suggested a paragraph in the agreement which would preserve as much of the natural environment as possible. After further discussion, George Kubik moved to have a select number of Commission Members work with the developer and staff to resolve this issue. Jonathan Widem seconded the motion with all members voting in favor. Lee Markell, Stephen Thompson and George Kubik agreed to be a part of this committee to work on an agreement with the developer. Ii. Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of September 9, 1993 Meeting Page 5 Chairman Kubik noted.that the action taken by the Commission was in no way to be perceived as setting a precedent. John Rudolph noted that the action was an attempt by both parties to resolve the issues in a cooperative fashion. It was also noted that all Commission members would be notified of the meeting date and time. COMMUNITY FESTIVALS Superintendent of Recreation Peterson explained that there has been a great deal of discussion regarding the need to have a community festival to help identify Eagan with a specific event. This subject has been broached bythe City Council, the Community Partnership Forum, the Recreation Sub-Committee and staff with the consensus being that the community is ready for a festival of some kind. Dorothy reviewed festivals that currently occur in several communities such as Minnetonka Summer Festival, Burnsville Fire Muster, Apple Valley Mid-Winter Fest, Rosemount Leprechaun Days, New Brighton Stockyard Days, Hopkins Raspberry Festival and Lakeville Pan-O-Prog. Some of the conclusions reached after reviewing other community festivals were that no single format was found; each community has found a format that works forthem, service organizations are partners with Parks and Recreation for successful events; financial commitments vary from $1,500 to $35,000; carnivals are not a universal festival element and fireworks are perceived to be an important element. Superintendent Peterson continued that a significant financial commitment would be required from the City with corporate and business sponsorships mitigating the city's financial commitment. In summary, Peterson added, community events that appear to be the most successful are well coordinated, have a wide cross section of organizations participating, provide activity that has broad appeal, are conducted in a short period of time and are well financed. Ted Billy noted that an event of this type would require wide community involvement and suggested surveying organizations to see if they would be interested in participating. George Kubik asked if a survey would be something an ad-hoc committee could work on. Dorothy suggested that staff could prepare a survey to elicit feedback if the Commission desires. John Rudolph suggested inviting community leaders to a'town meeting" to get their feedback. Lee Market I asked what the catalyst was for the community event request. Superintendent Peterson explained that the Community Partnership Forum which has been meeting regularlyto incorporate values and ideasthroughout the community have addressed this issue on several occasions. After further discussion, Ted Billy moved, Jonathan Widem seconded with all members voting in favor to have staff prepare a form to survey community groups relative to their interest and level of involvement in a community event. The form should come back to the Commission for a brainstorming session at a later meeting. PARKS DEVELOPMENT Parks Superintendent VonDeLinde reviewed several items under parks development including the trail connecting Lakeside Park to the Autumn Ridge development; the hardcourt repair and color coating are underway; playground and benches have been installed at Glacier Hills Elementary School; plans and specifications are completed for Wescott Square; work continues on the Park System Plan update and at Blackhawk Park trails have been paved, seeding and sodding have been completed, the parking lot blacktop will be done soon and the sign for the entrance to the park is being designed. Rich Brasch added that the ramps will be ready to be used this fall to get a weed harvester into Blackhawk Lake. George Kubik asked if an aerator would be installed in Blackhawk Lake and Mr. Brasch responded that it was in the capital outlay for 1994. c1. Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of September 9, 1993 Meeting Page 6 WETLANDS REPLACEMENT RULES Water Resources Coordinator Brasch, responding to the Commission's concern that there would be a rush by developers to get plats into the City prior to the Wetlands Replacement Rules taking effect, noted that only one has come in so far. The inquiry, however, is whether the City would consider approving wetland replacement plans under the interim program rules even if the preliminary plat approval for the development causing the impact is not approved by the City until after the permanent program becomes effective. The inquiry being referenced is a large commercial/industrial development of over 200 acres, development of which will occur in numerous phases as parcels within the development are sold to individual buyers who would then bring their parcels through the platting process separately. A comprehensive inventory of the wetland resources has been completed by the developer including an overall plan to protect higher priority water bodies within the development as well as to meet wetland replacement obligations. Rich continued that staff is looking for guidance from the Commission as to how the City should handle these types of requests in the future. Rich added that by reviewing a large site and addressing wetland and water quality issues up front the process becomes less time consuming and would result in a better planned parcel of land. Lee Markell stated he liked looking at a site more wholistically and noted the developer should be rewarded for looking this far ahead on a larger parcel. Stephen Thompson asked if the new rules would change how the site is looked at. Rich responded that it is more difficult to assess smaller parcels in trying to provide for wetland replacement on-site which results in several wetlands on the entire site rather than a few strategically placed and planned wetlands. Ted Billy noted that there are a lot more options in dealing with a larger parcel. George Kubik added that it was important to take a broader review of the eco system. DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS Some of the Happenings highlighted included gross concession sales at $13,141.48; the bluebird houses along the Highline Trail being maintained by Darrel Isebrand; completion of projects by the Twin Cities Tree Trust; hosting of the first annual Strategic Planning Workshop of the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association; Supervisor of Forestry Gregg Hove will begin on September 20 and the City's community services open house will be held on Saturday, September 11. 1993 COMMISSION PICNIC Friday, September 24, from 5 - 10 p.m. was set as the date for the annual Commission picnic. SUMMER PROGRAM REPORT Recreation Supervisor Paula Nowariak provided some highlights of the summer recreation programs. It was noted that the numbers of participants for Summer in the Park increased from 1992 to 1993 although prices were increased from $10 to $15. The new site at Mueller Farm Park provided for sporadic attendance because of the rain and the numbers at the new Downing and Ohmann sites were small. A new 11-14 year old program was offered at both Sky Hill and Northview Parks, however, it appeared as though the spontaneity of the program at Sky Hill proved to be more successful than the planned program at Northview for this age group. It is anticipated that for the 11-14 year old program to be successful at Northview, this age group needs to be physically separated from the younger age group. Paula noted the significant growth in the T-Ball program from 58 participants in 1990 to 207 participants in 1993. Safety Camp, Day Camp and Sports and Games Camp continued to be a big draw with both Safety Camp and Day Camp holding a large waiting list of interested participants. Paula concluded that after a very busy, productive summer parents continue to share staff's concern for the safety of children. \o Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes of September 9, 1993 Meeting Page 7 Chairman Kubik thanked Paula for the excellent report and complimented her and her staff on the wonderful programming opportunities offered to Eagan youth. George encouraged staff to continue with their experimentation of new programs. Ted Billy asked if the fee assistance provided this summer was above last year's requests and Paula responded that the dollar amounts were approximately the same. DEER STUDY Dorothy Peterson explained that the Council has recently reviewed the issue of deer bow hunting within the city limits and their continued concern for public safety versus controlling the deer population. The Council has asked that the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission play a role in the deer population control issue as it arises. JOINT CITY COUNCIUCOMMISSION MEETING Superintendent of Recreation Peterson noted that a joint City Council/Commission meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, September 29 at 7:00 p.m. to review the Park System Plan update with Barton Aschman Associates, Inc. ROUND TABLE With no further business to conduct, Stephen Thompson moved, Erin Ipsen-Borgersen seconded with all members voting in favor to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 9:10 p.m. Secretary Date 1\. 111 u w i N C?5 n MEMO city of eagan DATE: OCTOBER 5, 1993 TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL.

(3) Waiver of Plat - Gregory Rounds The Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resource Commission previously reviewed this preliminary plat in February of 1993. This is a simple lot split and, therefore, is recommended that this be subject to: a) Cash parks dedication. b) Cash trails dedication. c) Water quality dedication. KV/lk L2/CONSENT.MEM \A . MEMO - city of eagan DATE: OCTOBER 1, 1993 TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION & NATURAL RESOURCE COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION SUBJECT: KERR ADDITION SHEA ARCHITECTS BACKGROUND Preliminary plat application has been submitted which requests a comprehensive guide plan amendment from limited business to community shopping center and rezoning from general business to planned development of four lots on 6.5 acres of property now platted as Lots 7 and 8, Block 3 of Empress edition. The site is located east of Pilot Knob Road and south of Marice Drive and west of Sherman Court. Eagan Athletic Club, which was built in 1973, is presently located at the center of this site. Serial Chemist is located to the south, property to the north. Proponent is proposing two 30-unit apartment buildings, a 9000 square foot building. A portion of the site, which is adjacent to Pilot Knob Road, consist of mowed grasses and scattered trees. Significant number of trees and woodlands will be impacted on the remainder of the site. There is no wetland located on the site. PARKS DEDICATION This development remains outside any park land search within this park service district. Therefore, cash dedication would be appropriate for community developers to meet the parks requirement. TRAILS DEDICATION There is existing trail along Pilot Knob Road. Access to Pilot Knob Road is off Marice Drive which this development has access to. Therefore, this development should be subject to trails dedication. l5. Kerr Addition-Shea Architects Page -2- WATER QUALITY Runoff from this development will be discharged to east of Pilot Knob Road and north of Marice Drive. therefore, a cash dedication for that portion of the development should be charged. WETLANDS Pond CP-5, a sedimentation basin On-site ponding is not necessary, site as a result of the proposed There are no wetlands on the site and, therefore, no recommendations relative to this issue. TREE PRESERVATION The developer has submitted a tree preservation and tree replacement plan. A total of 36 significant trees and approximately 15,000 square feet of woodlands will be removed. Consistant with the tree replacement schedule, the developer will be responsible for mitigating the loss of significant trees through the planting of 24 Category A, 48 Category B, or 96 Category C replacement trees. In addition, staff is recommending that the developer be responsible for replacing the significant woodlands with 86 Category C or 43 Category B replacement trees. These tree replacements will be in addition to the landscaping requirements associated with this plat. FOR COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION (1) To recommend cash parks dedication requirement. (2) To recommend a cash trails dedication. (3) To recommend a cash water quality requirement based on changes to the surface runoff in pre and post conditions. (4) That the developer be responsible for mitigating the loss of significant trees and woodlands through the planting 24 Category A, 91 Category B or 182 Category C replacement trees. These trees will be in addition to any other landscaping requirements the City may have for this particular site. KV/Ik L 1/SHEAARCH.MEM 1\0. . r 4l y?` _ city of eagan MEMO DATE: OCTOBER 1, 1993 TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION & NATURAL RESOURCE COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION SUBJECT: NORWEST THIRD ADDITION BACKGROUND An application has been submitted requesting a preliminary plat consisting of a 2 acre lot previously zoned PD/Limited Business. The plat is on Outlot A -- Norwest 2nd Addition which was previously approved in a preliminary plat dated February 1987. That project was never final platted. The developer proposes an Eagan medical office building consisting of approximately 19,000 square feet and 248 parking stalls. The preliminary plat is east of Norwest Bank, south of the chemists building and immediately adjacent to 1-35E. The site has approximately 20 trees on the site ranging from 4 to 8 inches in diameter. These trees will be lost as a result of the development plan. There is no wetland on the site. PARKS DEDICATION The Parks System Plan does not identify any parks development in this area and therefore, a cash parks dedication would be most appropriate. TRAILS DEDICATION This development will be serviced by Norwest Court which has access to Pilot Knob Road. There is an existing trail along Pilot Knob Road and Norwest pedestrian and bicycle traffic could be accessible through Norwest Court to this development. Therefore, staff is recommending a cash trails dedication for this development. WATER QUALITY Runoff from this development will be discharged to Pond CP-5 which is a sedimentation basin east of Pilot Knob Road. There are no downstream recreational water bodies. There is no room, nor need, for on-site ponding. Therefore, staff is recommending a cash dedication for Water Quality. ?1 Norwest Third Addition Page -2- WETLANDS There are no wetlands on the site and, therefore, there are no recommendations pertaining to preservation of any wetlands. TREE PRESERVATION Existing woodlands will be removed as part of this development during site grading. Accordingly, the developer will be responsible for planting approximately 20 replacement trees as mitigation for the lost woodland which is consistent with the tree preservation guidelines. The replacement trees will be in addition to the regular landscaping requirements for this site. FOR COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION (1) That this plat be subject to a cash parks dedication requirement. (2) That this development be responsible for a cash trails dedication requirement. (3) This development be responsible for cash water quality dedication requirement. (4) That the tree placement plan submitted be approved for development consisting of approximately 20 category B replacement trees as mitigation for the lost woodlands in addition to the regular landscaping requirements for this site.

RESOURCE COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION SUBJECT: SAFARI AT EAGAN 2ND ADDITION BACKGROUND Proposal consists of a preliminary plat of three lots on approximately 14.7 acres of property zoned community shopping center/general business. Safari At Eagan is within the Blackhawk Park plan unit development and is located on the north side of Thomas Center Drive and west of Thomas Lake Road. The property to be developed is identified as Outlot A -- Safari At Eagan. The site is generally rolling and was formerly graded for the Safari At Eagan development. The significant amount of tree vegetation is along the west boundary and is both within this plat and the adjacent residential property. The plans reflect that this tree massing will remain. The remainder of this site is grassland with a scattering of volunteer growth of trees consisting of box elder, cottonwood and willows. There are two wetlands on the site; one is adjacent to Cliff road and the other to Thomas Lake Road. The developer proposes to construct a health club, a movie theater and a restaurant on the three lots. PARKS DEDICATION The parks dedication requirement has been met within the PUD agreement and therefore there is no parks land or parks cash dedication required with this plat. TRAILS DEDICATION Attached is a graphic which represents existing trails adjacent to this preliminary plat. Staff is recommending that the developer install a six foot wide sidewalk along the north side of Thomas Lake Drive to service this development. \C1. Safari At Eagan 2nd Addition Page -2- A trailway is in place along the west side of Thomas Lake Road extending from Cliff to Thomas Center Drive. The Commission may request the developer to extend this trailway within the limits of his plat from Thomas Center Drive north to the limits of this plat. This raises another issue for the Commission, separate from this preliminary plat. That issue is the future extension of a trailway along the entire distance of Thomas Lake Drive to Diffley Road or at least the Highline Trail Corridor. Thomas Lake Road has an 80 foot road right-of-way with a 44' face to face street section. Preliminarily, it does appear that a bituminous trail would be permissible, although more detail review would be necessary relative to grades or other obstructions. Therefore, the Advisory Commission should consider a recommendation concerning sidewalk and trails for Safari At Eagan 2nd Addition. WATER QUALITY This proposed development is located just west of Thomas Lake Drainage Basin B. Much of the sight will generate runoff that will outlet to an existing storm sewer along Thomas Lake Road. The existing storm sewer line receiving the discharge bypasses Thomas Lake and will eventually enter Blackhawk Lake, one of six direct contact recreational lakes. Because of the large size of this development and the amount of impervious surface covered, staff recommends the developer meet water quality treatment requirements through on-site ponding. The best ponding area is in the southeast corner of the location presently occupied by a wetland. A two-cell treatment pond sized to prevent any increase in the concentration of phosphorus in Blackhawk Lake is being recommended by staff. Staff has currently estimated that pond volume required to meet the above requirements at 4.7 acre feet. Plans currently show a two-cell pond with less acre feet than staff is recommending. WETLANDS The developer's consultant has identified and delineated two wetlands on the site. One is .05 acres and is located in the southwest corner of the site immediately adjacent to Cliff Road. The wetland is severely denigrated by the large volumes of storm water discharge it receives from Cliff Road and areas to the south. The second wetland is a shallow, fresh marsh of .65 acres in surface area not yet incorporated into the storm sewer system. While no filling or drainage within the limits of this wetland is proposed, staff is recommending that it be used as a treatment pond and increased to provide the necessary wet pond volume to protect downstream water bodies. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending that this project provide on-site ponding to meet water quality treatment standards. .ZO Safari At Eagan 2nd Addition Page -3- Because there will be no filling or draining of wetlands on the site, this development should not be subject to any wetlands replacement requirements. TREE PRESERVATION The majority of this parcel was disturbed in the past with only a smattering of young trees throughout the site, most of which are comprised of elm, box elder and cottonwoods which are less than four inches in diameter. The majority of the tree resources do not represent a significant woodland as defined by the tree preservation guidelines. There are significant woodlands of cottonwood trees on the east end of the property adjacent to Thomas Lake Road. This woodland is outside the proposed grading limits but will be impacted to some extent by the new 20" storm sewer outlet serving the existing wetland on the east side of the property. Staff has determined that the proposed pond outlet and storm sewer pipe is in its preferred location in order to achieve maximum nutrient removal from the treatment pond and, therefore, many of these trees will be lost which is unavoidable. RECOMMENDATION Require the developer to take measurements to preserve as many of the existing trees as possible to the east end of the development during the construction and installation of the storm sewer pipe. Further, that plans be developed and implemented to enhance the landscaping in the area of this property. This plans should be subject to staff review and approval. FOR ADVISORY COMMISSION REVIEW AND ACTION (1) This plat not be subject to a parks cash or land dedication. (2) That this parcel not be subject to a cash trails dedication, but the developer be responsible for the installation of 6' wide sidewalk along Thomas Lake Drive and a 8' wide bituminous path extending from Thomas Lake Drive to the limits of the plat on the west side of Thomas Lake Road. (3) This development be required to provide an on-site ponding to meet water quality treatment standards and estimated pond volume requirements of 4.7 acre feet. (4) This development is not subject to any wetland replacement requirements. (5) The developer take measures to preserve as many of the existing trees as possible at the east side of the development, during construction and installation of the storm sewer pipe. (6) The developer implement an enhanced landscaping in the area of this pond. These plans subject to the review and approval by the City prior to implementation.

VONDELINDE, SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS FROM: GREGG HOVE, SUPERVISOR OF FORESTRY DATE: OCTOBER 4, 1993 SUBJECT: 1993 SHADE TREE DISEASE PROGRAM STATUS Background The City of Eagan, along with many other south metro area suburbs, is, presently dealing with a severe outbreak of shade tree diseases, specifically oak wilt (OW) and dutch elm disease (DED). These two diseases alone are responsible for killing large numbers of oak and elm trees each year. OW and DED are fungal diseases, which upon infecting healthy trees, produce substances which block water-conducting vessels at the tree, causing the tree to wilt and eventually die. Both OW and DED are initiated as the fungus, usually transmitted via beetles, enters the tree crown. The fungus spreads through the tree, into the root system, and eventually to nearby healthy trees of similar species via root grafts. The key difference between OW and DED is that OW is almost completely preventable. The OW fungus must have fresh tree wounds as entry points for the disease, while the DED beetle can create its own entry point as it feeds on small tree branches. Therefore, OW, the more serious tree disease in the City of Eagan, can be prevented if proper tree care practices are followed. Disease Control Program Key points for a successful shade tree disease program are prevention (through education), identification (of recently infected trees), and control (consisting of proper removal and disposal techniques). In an attempt to more efficiently manage our tree disease, the City of Eagan has hired Jeff Perry, a temporary tree inspector, to specialize in the management and control of OW and DED. Jeff is responsible for the identification of diseased trees on. both public and private properties. The table below summarizes the number of diseased oak and elm trees identified during 1993. Fig. 1 Number of Diseased Trees Identified Oak Wilt Dutch Elm Disease Public Property 20 44 Private Property 87 155 As stated earlier, one of the keys of a successful tree disease program is to control the spread of the disease to healthy trees. With the presence of nearby trees of similar species, tree removal must be preceded by root graft disruption. Removal and proper disposal of diseased trees is then required. To assist both the private and public sector with the financial burden of OW control measures, the City of Eagan has applied for and received' a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Oak 1 of 2 c. Wilt Cooperative Suppression Program Grant. Oak Wilt Suppression Grant Program Through the Grant Program, the City of Eagan will "cost-share" a portion of the expense to control the spread of oak wilt throughout the community. Financial assistance is available to private property owners, who adhere to required suppression procedures, on a 1:1 basis. Property owners will submit a copy of their paid bill for root graft disruption and/or tree removal by December 1, 1993. The amount of money returned will be determined by dividing the total amount of bills submitted by the eligible grant amount of $31,000. An additional $4,000 is available as financial assistance to the City of Eagan for oak wilt control on public property on a 3:1 basis. Reimbursement checks will be distributed to private property owners during February, 1994. Private Property Control At this time, it is difficult to estimate the number of residents that will participate in the Cost Share Program. As deadlines for OW control measures come of date, (the first deadline was October 1, 1993), residents will submit paperwork for inclusion into the Cost Share Program. To date, nine billings have been submitted for control measures around infection centers, accounting for 20 diseased oak trees (a single OW infection center may contain many infected oak trees). Conclusive information pertaining to participation in the Cost Share Program will be available after the December 1, 1993 deadline. Public Property Control Measures to control this years spread of OW on public land are nearing completion. Eight infection centers, accounting for all twenty diseased oak trees, have had root graft disruption utilizing the required vibratory plow procedure. Contractual agreements have been set to have these twenty diseased oak trees properly disposed of. DED Control Measures To date, 98 elm trees on private property have been properly disposed of. All 24 diseased elm trees on public property are under contractual agreement to be removed soon. The Cost Share Program does not apply to DED control measures. Additional up-to-date information on the status of the Shade Tree Disease Program will be provided at the APRNRC Meeting on October 7th.

Iw ? ? and i ??, I I _ city of eagan MEMO DATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCE COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION DOROTHY PETERSON, SUPERINTENDENT OF RECREATION SUBJECT: COMMUNITY FESTIVALS BACKGROUND For the September 9, 1993 Commission meeting, staff prepared a memorandum which described various forms of community festivals conducted in the metro area. Following discussion, the Commission directed staff to prepare a draft of a survey that could be distributed to organizations and/or individuals. The purpose of the survey would be to discover potential interest in the City for a new community-wide event or events. SURVEY QUESTIONS Attached for the Commission's review and comment are two alternative forms of survey questions. The first form allows the respondent to provide information based on recall, opinion or perception. A wide range of responses would be anticipated, restricted only by ones experience with community festivals. The second form requires less effort on the part of the respondent, however it may narrow the range of information learned to the choices provided which are not and could not possibly be all encompassing. SURVEY DISTRIBUTION ALTERNATIVES To further assist in the development of the survey questionnaire, the target audience and methods of distribution and return should be identified. The question of general distribution or random sample is at issue also. Alternatives: • Send to organizations in the City, request that responses reflect the perspectives of the organization as a whole. -The strength of this alternative is not readily apparent. -The weakness is limited sample size and an assumption that all members of an organization hold similar views. d5 Community Festivals Page -2- Include the survey questionnaire in the December issue of the. City newsletter. Mail or drop box return. -Strength; easy distribution and retrieval. -Weakness; results are biased by respondents who are either strongly in favor or opposed. • Random sample. -Strength; most reliably valid results. -Weakness; cost and time to administer. FOR COMMISSION ACTION The Commission should review the survey, determine which format to use, edit specific questions, determine the target audience and recommend a preferred distribution alternative for action by the City Council.

N I?j MEMO city of eagan DATE: OCTOBER 5, 1993 TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCE COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION SUBJECT: GOLF DRIVING RANGE BACKGROUND Earlier this year, the Advisory Commission reviewed a proposal to authorize a vendor to utilize a portion of Lexington/Diffley athletic site for a golf driving range. City Council approved that recommendation and a draft contract was developed. At that time, it was anticipated that Lexington/Diffley would be under a grading contract during 1993, and the golf driving range may actually have been opened in the Fall of the year. The contract provided for the operation of the driving range during the remainder of 1993, and 1994, 1995 and 1996. One of the provisions of the contract would allow the City and the vendor, if mutually agreed to, to extend the contract one year in the last year of the contract. The final contract with the driving range operators has not yet been signed, although a final draft has been prepared. The contract awaits the exhibits, and the exhibits await the final grading plan for Lexington/Diffley. ISSUE The issue before the Advisory Commission is to consider a request by the proposed golf driving range operators to extend the contract one year given the fact that they are not able to become operational in 1993. If the Commission approves this extension, the contract will change the contract to read 1994 as a partial operational year with the contract to extend through 1997. The provision to make the contract extend an additional year -- 1998 -- would remain. FOR COMMISSION ACTION The Advisory Commission should review the implications of the extension of the contract and make a recommendation to extend the terms of the contract one year to 1996, if it so desires; or to keep the existing terms. The position of the vendor is to follow the same time line that was proposed in the initial contract, but extend all dates one year. KV/lk L2/GOLFCONT.MEM 31. I'? I '111ttyPl? N? ?t tl ! mt. city of eagan MEMO DATE: OCTOBER 5, 1993 TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCE COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION SUBJECT: SIDEWALK/CRIMSON LEAF TRAIL BACKGROUND The Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resource Commission reviewed the Autumn Ridge 4th Addition at the July Commission meeting. As Commission members may recall, this was a short street extension extending the current Crimson Leaf Trail to Dodd Road. The Commission recommended a cash trails and cash parks dedication. At the public hearing before the City Council, residents attending that meeting opposed the extension of the street; preferring to keep the existing cul-de-sac. It was noted that the City has always intended that street be a through street. Residents present requested that the City install a sidewalk along this extension to connect Dodd Road with the sidewalk that is currently in place on Hackmore Drive. The sidewalk on Hackmore leads walkers to Pinewood Elementary School (see Attachment). On Thursday, September 23, department staff met with residents to review the implications of a sidewalk on the north side of the street per the Council's direction to have a sidewalk installed. Recently, staff has received a petition from residents which now shows only a few of the residents who boarder the street are now in favor of such a sidewalk. The issue before the Advisory Commission is to hear the residents concern relative to this sidewalk and make a recommendation to the City Council as to whether the sidewalk should indeed proceed to be installed or eliminated for their consideration. DISCUSSION The City has agreed to pay for the concrete sidewalk which would be 6' in width. This sidewalk is to be approximately 6' from back of curb, within the road right of way. Several of the residents are concerned relative to landscaping which has encroached into the Sidewalk/Crimson Leaf Trail Page -2- road right of way which would have to be removed to facilitate this construction. Attached are sketches which depict this trail location. The neighborhood is relatively divided pertaining to this issue. It was noted earlier during the presentation before the City Council relative to the street, several residents asked for this sidewalk and the Council concurred. Since that time, several residents indicated that they were not aware of that request and were not present to voice their objections to a sidewalk. At the same time, it appears that a sidewalk in this location does make some sense, and perhaps the City erred in not originally making a recommendation for a sidewalk in this location with the original development. Given that an elementary school is immediately adjacent and there is a sidewalk on Hackmore, it seems logical that a sidewalk along this street would be appropriate for the walkers to the elementary school. The school district's policy is to have walkers within 2/10 of a mile. The city does not have a standard for sidewalk installation. Although there has been a trend for the city to install sidewalks in developments which are adjacent to elementary schools. This having been the case with Pinewood Elementary and reflects a similar design with Glacier Hills. Sidewalks and trails are typically reserved for high traffic and neighborhood collector streets. Crimson Leaf is likely to have a fair amount of traffic given that there are only three access points to this entire subdivision. A resident has suggested that the City wait before it installs this sidewalk until such time as the street goes through. Then, if the traffic is as frequent is as anticipated the sidewalk could go in. The problem with this solution is the additional cost incurred. Staff would recommend against this option for this reason. Staff is also recommending a short sidewalk section be constructed on the south side of Crimson Leaf which would begin at the trail access to Lakeside Park, east to Hackmore. As it is now, the trail ends at Crimson across from a residential driveway. Staff believes the sidewalk is a solution to this potential unsafe situation. FOR COMMISSION ACTION The Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resource Commission is asked to do a fact finding relative to the needs for a sidewalk on the north side of Crimson Leaf extending from Dodd Road to Hackmore Drive and to make its recommendation to the City Council. A positive recommendation would have the trail installed as part of a contract that the City already has with a sidewalk contractor. KV/lk L2/CRIMSIDE.MEM October 1, 1993 Dear Crimson Leaf Trail Residents: The results of the survey conducted this week are indicated following the questions asked: 1. Do you favor a sidewalk that is funded by the City of Eagan be built on the South side of Crimson leaf Trail? Yes - 4, No - 11, Abstain - 1 2. Do you favor a sidewalk that is funded by the City of Eagan be built on the North side of Crimson leaf Trail? Yes - 6, No - 9, Abstain - 1 3. Do you favor a sidewalk funded by assessments to homeowners be built on any side of Crimson leaf Trail? Yes - 1, No - 14, Abstain - 0, 1 did not answer question. A copy of the completed survey has been given to Mr. Ken Vraa, Eagan City Parks Commissioner. Mr. Vraa indicated that he would put this issue on the agenda of the Eagan Parks and Recreation meeting scheduled for Thursday October 7, 1993 at 7:00 PM. There is some other business which is to be conducted first, then he expects the sidewalk discussion to commence at about 7:15 or 7:30. Depending on the outcome of this meeting, if any further consideration were to be given to this issue by the City council, it would likely be at the October 19 meeting. My understanding is that it is too late to place it on the agenda of the City council meeting on October 5.

This review is typically done during the Fall of the year with the recommendation, when adopted, becoming effective on January 1st of the following year. BACKGROUND Provided for you is a history of dedication fees from 1989 through 1993. You will note that the fees in 1993 remained consistent with 1991 as the Commission recommended no adjustments for the last three years. Staff would like to remind the Advisory Commission that individual cash dedication fees are based on "land value equivalents." That is, the Commission actually determines land value each year for each different category of land use. You will note that land values can be determined first on the chart with the additional unit fees following. Also attached for your review is the actual parks dedication and trails dedication ordinance. In the review of 1992, the Advisory Commission authorized staff to utilize an appraisal to develop sales figures. 1993 was a rather busy year for aggressive land sales and development, therefore, a fairly significant amount of information is available for use, and thus, need for an appraisal firm is unnecessary. If it is still felt necessary to follow this course of action, that work could be instigated. Land sales have occurred in several locations throughout the community in the last twelve months including Westin Hills, Gardenwood Ponds, Great Oaks, Autumn Ridge and Wenzel Addition. There is also two residential developments, not yet preliminary platted, that have resulted in recent land sales. yt. 1994 Parks Dedication Review Page -2- Developers have revealed their sales price and respectfully requested that the information not be attached to any specific land parcel. Developers have also cautioned that land sales are often affected by (1) the terms of the agreement; (2) usable land; (3) assessments on the property. Staff found the following: a relatively small parcel of land of ten acres has a purchase agreement for $26,000. A rather large development, but without accessibility to utilities sold between $15,000 and $20,000. Two large developments were sold at a figures between $30,000 and $33,000. A recent offer was made for a large tract at $30,000. All are single family. OTHER COMMUNITIES Lakeville raised its parks dedication fees at the beginning of 1993 after a four-year period with no increases. Lakeville now charges $650 for a single family unit plus $150 for trails dedication. Trails dedication at $150 a unit has remained essentially the same over the last several years for Lakeville. The total amount, $800, is $100 more than was charged in 1992. Lakeville has not made any changes in its commercial/industrial rate in the last several years and does not anticipate any increase in this rate or in the residential and trail dedications for 1994. The City of Plymouth raised their parks dedication fees in 1993 by $25; from $860 to $885. Plymouth does not charge for trails dedication. Relative to commercial/industrial, Plymouth reports that they do not foresee any changes in this formula or rate which has not changed in the last three years. Randy Johnson of Apple Valley reports that their fees will probably remain the same in 1994. This is a similar rate structure to one that they had in 1990. Eden Prairie increased their parks dedication for residential from $800 to $825 at the beginning of 1993. This was the first rate increase that Eden Prairie had established in two years. Commercial/industrial rate remains the same in Eden Prairie as it has for the last four years. No increase is foreseen. Eden Prairie does not have a trails dedication fee. FOR COMMISSION DISCUSSION There are several factors that the Advisory Commissions needs to take into consideration when reviewing the parks dedication fees. Clearly, the current value of $16,330 is well below most of the land sales within the community for single family in the last twelve months. There continues to be a trend toward single family versus multiple. Similarly, there seems to be a trend for down zoning or at least developments not developing to the intensity that may be allowed by the zoning classification. The market for multiple remains "flat". IA a. 1994 Parks Dedication Review Page -3- It appears that in communities that are still relatively active in development, that parks dedication fees have increased ever so slightly in the last four year period. It is evidenced by the slow increase that Plymouth and Eden Prairie have evoked. Those areas where development is relatively stagnant, in comparison to the growth areas, parks dedication has remained consistent for the last several years. Commercial/industrial rates, even in the growth communities have remained constant over the last three to five years as evidenced by Lakeville and Apple Valley. Plymouth and Eden Prairie have seen relatively minor growth in the last four years in its commercial/industrial rates. Eagan last increased its rate in 1990 for commercial/industrial. Most communities don't charge, as part of their dedication requirements, for water quality. Eagan began the water quality dedication fee in 1991 with the adoption of the Water Quality Management Plan. If this fee were to be added to parks dedication and trails dedication, complete charge for developers is one of the higher ones in the metropolitan area. The effects of inflation on development and costs for acquisition of parks is an issue that the Commission must deal with. The most significant source of revenue for parks is parks dedication and is a very important element that must be reviewed by the Advisory Commission. FOR COMMISSION ACTION The Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resource Commission is asked to begin the reviewal process for parks dedication fees and make a recommendation to the City Council relative to the land values for single family, duplex, multiple and apartments; and to make recommendations concerning commercial/industrial and trails dedication.

Twelve staffed sites offer skating, hockey, tubing, band and broomball seven days a week from mid-December to mid-February. Six addition I unstaffed sites offer pleasure skating all winter in unlit conditions. The tubing hill at Trapp Farm Park continues to grow in popularity dra ing people from all over the Twin City area. This causes overcrowding during weeken afternoons and some weekday evenings. Groups often organize trips to Trapp Farm c using a sudden influx of visitors rather than a steady flow. This creates problems when ubes are limited and safety is compromised. Neither the groups nor the general p blic enjoy their experience. BACKGROUND From census reports taken at Trapp Farm Park during the 1993-93 tubi g season, many people take advantage of this fun and free activity. The following are n mbers from the Winter Report: 10:30 AM 12:30 PM 2:30 PM 4:30 PM :30 PM 8:30 PM High 84 129 250 200 85 169 Low 6 8 19 0 8 5 Average 32.0 49.6 114 38.6 27.8 36.9 The tubing hill is the only winter recreation site where there is almost (ways someone participating. Approximately 75 tubes are available in various sites. T is seems to be a good capacity for managing a safe experience on this size hill. The sh Iter building can fit about 25 adults. So, when 200 people gather, not many will enjoy rapp Farm. 4S. Winter Facility Rental Page -2- 42 groups called to let us know they were coming. This is requested, but not required, in order to avoid two or more large groups from coming at the same time and to provide a contact for weather cancellations. Not all groups called in advance, but no record is available to know how many this includes. Of the groups that called, 170 was the largest and eight was the smallest. 39 was the average size and 30 was the average without the largest and smallest groups. Reservations by day were: Monday .................................. 5 Groups Tuesday .................................. 4 Groups Wednesday ................................ 3 Groups Thursday .................................. 4 Groups Friday .................................... 2 Groups Saturday ................................. 13 Groups Sunday .................................. 11 Groups In taking calls, the administrative support staff tries to encourage groups to come at non- peak times to avoid a bad and/or crowded experience. Often times people inquire about the possibility of reserving the hill and shelter. The number of requests is so common that the idea for this memorandum arose. Current hours of operation have generally been: Monday through Thursday .............. 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM Friday ............................. 4:00 PM - 9:30 PM Saturday .......................... 10:00 AM - 9:30 PM Sunday .......................... 12:00 Noon - 9:00 PM School Vacation Days ................. Open at 10:00 AM A typical week would total 46 hours. The least busy times occur near opening and closing times. The most activity happens after supper during weekdays and in the afternoon on weekends. PROPOSAL The idea of reserving the Trapp Farm Park tubing hill for groups has arisen from public requests and from staff brainstorming for ways to spread the use of the hill more evenly throughout each day and week. Groups would like to know that their time is assured, there will be an ample supply of tubes and that the warming shelter will not be overcrowded. The hill becomes much more fun if your group has exclusive use and can go up and down the hill together, connect tubes and socialize inside and out more comfortably without interference or interfering. yN4 . Winter Facility Rental Page -3- By reserving time for groups, this may lessen the load on peak use times and spread the utilization throughout the hours of operation. There are always awkward feelings when groups and the general public mix. Though not intentional, both parties tend to take "ownership" of the hill and resentment arises when one or the other feels, infringed upon. By pulling some groups out of the high use times, we will avoid some of these situations and allow everyone to feel more satisfied. Staff's initial ideas for times are as follows: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM Open Rental 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM 4:00 PM - 9:30 PM 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM Sunday 10:00 AM - 12:00 Noon 12:00 Noon - 8:00 PM 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM Open Rental Open Rental Open Open Open Rental Rental Open Rental This allows for 40.5 hours of open time and eight hours of available rental time. The open time is 5.5 hours per-week less than last season. The 48.5 hours of total operation are 2.5 hours more than offered in 1992-93. This scheme has rental times being at the end of each day and before the usual opening on Sundays. These are typically lesser used times displacing fewer !park users and bringing in more people throughout the day. The one time concerning staff is the Saturday evening time slot. The concern is that there may be a lot of tubers wanting to stay past 8:00 PM causing conflicts with the attending staff's requests to'leave. The park users on Saturday evenings tend to be in the 12 to 18 year-old age range and we need to provide these opportunities for them. tit. Winter Facility Rental Page -4- The use of the early or later group rental time allows for clearer times for public and private use. To have exclusive rental in the middle of the open hours would cause confusion with those at the park and when no group is utilizing time set aside for rentals. The end of the day time slot allows us to close at the end of the stated open time or have the option to remain open if no group rental is booked, depending upon weather and usage up until then. Sunday mornings would be booked backwards, reserving 11:00 to 12:00 Noon before 10:00 to 11:00 AM. Likewise, Saturday evenings would book 8:00 to 9:00 PM before 9:00 to 10:00 PM in order to avoid a gap. The implementation needs to be worked out yet. Advertising needs to be done carefully so as not to offend the general public if lesser hours are proposed. The winter brochure will spell out what is available and how to reserve. The reservation system could work like the current pavilion and shelter rental procedure. Once a request is made and the date cleared, the party would have 48 hours to pay the fee and put down a damage deposit of $150. The minimum advance registration would be one week in advance or two Fridays in advance of a weekend reservation. Cancellations would have to happen before then, also. Refunds would be made if canceled before the deadline or if weather conditions close the hill. The fee would be set at the same time as the rest of the department's fees and charges. it should cover building rental, staff costs, tube replacement and hot chocolate. The fee should be low enough to encourage and entice groups to take advantage of the rental times that might not be exactly what they want. For the fee they could get exclusive use of the hill, tubes and shelter along with one hot chocolate per person. There should be a minimum fee and a per person fee after that in order to cover larger groups that may require more staff. Two staff will be on duty minimally with one or two more added depending on the type and size of groups. The maximum group size should be 100, allowing for 75 tubers and 25 in the shelter. Currently, the shelter building rental fee is $60 for six hours. For one hour of tubing hill rental, that would equal $10. Staff costs would be roughly $6.00 x 2 = $12. Hot chocolate would be at a cost of $.25 per cup or $6.25 for a group of 25. That totals $28.25 per hour. Signs will be needed to communicate that the hill is closed due to a rental. Staff will be dealing with upset and disappointed tubers until everyone is aware of the new hours and rental policy. y\. Winter Facility Rental Page -5- FOR DISCUSSION • Should the tubing hill provide group rental time? • Are the proposed hours acceptable or do they take away too much open time? • Will groups utilize these times or continue to show up during open times? JO/Ik L1/TUBEH/LL.MEM yg MEMO city of eagan DATE: SEPTEMBER 29,1993 TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION & NATURAL RESOURCE COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION SUBJECT: FIELD MAINTENANCE/DAKOTA HILLS MIDDLE SCHOOL BACKGROUND With the construction of Eagan High School/Dakota Hills Middle School complex, the City of Eagan entered into an agreement for joint utilization of school and city facilities. Without going into a great deal of detail, the agreement allows school district programs to utilize Northview Athletic Fields for physical education classes and extra curricular activities and in turn, the public utilizes Dakota Hills and Eagan High School fields during non-school times. These non-school activities are coordinated by the Parks and Recreation Department. The agreement covers basic field maintenance activities associated with the use of these facilities; placing the responsibilities for mowing, field striping, etc. on the appropriate agency for each program activity. ISSUE City staff has received an inquiry from Dakota Hills Middle School as to::jf the City would be willing to undertake full responsibility of field maintenance at Dakota Hills and Northview Elementary school facilities. This would include mowing, fertilization, aerification, lining, striping, the various athletic components. This work would be done at a contract price and the City would be reimbursed for further work, assuming agreement and price could be agreed upon. The issue before the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resource Commission is to address the pros and cons of the issues regardless of the dollar amount attached to this service. ISSUES TO BE DISCUSSED The Advisory Commission has been asked to provide input and discussion relative to the pros and cons pertaining to this particular issue; and a recommendation. City staff feels very confident that it is capable of doing the work; the issue is whether, it should do the work, and why. t\. Field Maintenance/Dakota Hills Middle School Page -2- What are the implications of City staff doing this work? Will elementary schools come to the City for a similar service? In an era where the public is demanding stronger cooperative relationships between public and private sectors (the governor has emphasized the need to have cooperative government efforts), should the City look at the benefits of achieving a new cooperative effort in the maintenance of athletic facilities used by communities/school students? The maintenance crews are already "rushed" during much of the year to get existing facilities properly maintained. Will this simply add to the work load? What are the implications for relationships between the School District, the City and the other two school districts in the City? What is the perception of the public relative to the City's undertaking a portion or all of the work? What are some of the other issues to be analyzed/discussed as it relates to this request? ADVISORY PARKS. RECREATION & NATURAL RESOURCE COMMISSION ACTION The Advisory Commission is asked to do "discovery" relative to the pros and cons of the request from the school district staff pertaining to the City providing grounds maintenance services to the athletic fields at Dakota Hills Middle School/Northview Elementary School.

The Park provides over 2200 feet of shoreline access to the lake, contains canoe launching and dock facilities, -and is tied to the rest of the City by an extensive system of bike and walking trails as well as roadways. Trapp Farm Park is one of 4 major community parks serving the 52,000 residents of Eagan and residents from surrounding communities in the south Metro area. The City has experienced explosive growth since the mid 1980's, more than doubling in population between 1980 and 1990. Public demands for parks and water-based recreation have increased commensurately. Visits to Trapp Farm Park alone now exceed 30,000 during the summer season. In addition, reservations for the lakeshore pavilion complex have increased by almost 200% between 1988 and 1992, and the size of many groups using the pavilion exceeds 200 individuals. Schwanz Lake is an impc.;°tant aesthetic, recreational, and educational resource for the Park and the City. It is among the top four priorities for water quality enhancement in Eagan's comprehensive and innovative water quality management plan, adopted by the City Council in April, 1990. In addition, Schwanz Lake is identified in the plan as one of only six City lakes out of 350 water bodies whose management objectives are maintenance of water quality high enough to support direct contact recreation. Finally, Schwanz Lake is one of only three lakes in the City managed as a sport fishery by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR). Its MnDNR management classification as a Children's Fishing Lake makes it one of twenty such lakes in the Metro region. Given that 30-40% of the Metro area fishing activity is generated by children (Shodeen, 1992.) and that Eagan's population profile is dominated by young families with children, the potential for substantial increases in the use of the lake is exceptionally high as the City continues to develop towards its ultimate population of 80,000 to 90,000 residents. Unfortunately, excessive algal blooms severely impair the recreational and aesthetic qualities of the lake and Park. The current eutrophic state of the lake has severely compromised it's ability to support a gamefish population capable of supporting fishing pressure of over 300 hours/acre expected by MnDNR in the near future. The City of Eagan has been concerned about the lake's water quality problems for some time. It has also recognized the lake's potential as a unique asset to the City park system. In response, the City applied for and received a Clean-Water Partnership Program grant to help finance a technical investigation aimed at determining the causes of poor water quality in Schwanz Lake and devising a plan to restore water quality in the lake to acceptable standards. This narrative summarizes the results 1 WS - of those investigations. Summary of Diagnostic/Feasibility Study The diagnostic study began in October, 1990 with the initiation of a 12- month water quality monitoring program and subsequent data analysis, watershed assessment, and computer modeling effort that characterized the sources of water quality problems in the lake. The feasibility study that followed evaluated the cost-effectiveness of a variety of alternatives for improving water quality. Finally, an implementation plan was developed for the project which includes a number of non- structural as well as structural measures. The current watershed of Schwanz Lake is about 360 acres and is determined largely by the layout of the storm sewer system that serves the surrounding geographical area. Watershed land use is composed primarily of open/undeveloped, parkland, and single-family residential uses. At ultimate development, the watershed is expected to expand to just under 900 acres, with most-of the expanded watershed developed for single family residential purposes. Ultimate development will probably be reached in 10-15 years and is expected to include almost 600 acres in Eagan and 300 acres in Inver Grove Heights. The lake currently receives runoff from six storm sewers that were constructed in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Water leaves the lake through a lift station located in its southeast corner. Four of the storm sewers drain areas discharging directly to Schwanz Lake, while the other two drain a combination of direct drainage area and up-drainag areas containing many natural and some man-made ponds and wetlands. Precipitation, in-lake, and storm sewer discharge monitoring was conducted as part of the diagnostic study. Daily records were kept of precipitation, and 20 in-lake sampling runs were conducted. Runoff in three of the six storm sewer outfalls was also sampled monthly between March and September. The three monitored storm sewers drain runoff from about 85% of the existing watershed area. Information from the literature and Schwanz Lake monitoring data suggest that the nuisance algal blooms that limit use of the lake are governed by the availability of the'plant nutrient phosphorus. Thus, a reduction in the phosphorus loading to the lake was determined as the necessary action for reducing the frequency and severity of algal blooms. In-lake monitoring data showed a total phosphorus concentration for Schwanz Lake of 80 micrograms per liter (ug/1) during the growing season. An in-lake average total phosphorus concentration for the growing season of 55 ug/l was established for the lake as a long-term management objective. This target concentration will be sufficient to restore the lake to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) classification of partially supporting direct contact recreation. As part of the diagnostic study, water quality modeling was also completed to develop a reliable tool with which to quantify th effectiveness of certain remedial measures in reducing phosphoru 2 loading to the lake. Coupling monitoring data with suitable watershed loading and lake response models, in-lake total phosphorus concentrations and outflow volume for Schwanz Lake were back-predicted by the model to within 3% and 12%, respectively, of the measured values. Additional model runs were completed for average year hydrologic conditions and future conditions under full development with various combinations of remedial actions. The model predicts a reduction of in-lake epilimnetic- phosphorus concentrations without any new remedial activities. This is due to two factors. First, the direct drainage area of Schwanz Lake was reduced by a structural change in the storm sewer system adjacent to the lake. The change.was made as part of a road construction project that occurred between the end of the monitoring phase and the time the Phase I report was completed. Second, the future increase in the watershed area will increase hydraulic loading to the lake more than phosphorus loading. The future expanded water shed contains numerous wet ponds that have relatively high phosphorus removal efficiencies. The hydraulic load to Schwanz Lake is expected to increase substantially more than the phosphorus load downstream of these ponds and is expected to mitigate, by dilution and flushing, the effects of the increased phosphorus load on Schwanz Lake. Despite these factors, phosphorus loading will still be too high to meet the established water quality goal for the lake. Both modeling and monitoring indicated that a disproportionately large percentage of the phosphorus loading to the lake under present as well as future conditions comes from the direct drainage area. For this reason, the implementation plan, emphasizes the use of both structural and non- structural remedial measures that focus on this direct. drainage. Proposed Implementation Plan A number of alternatives were evaluated to reach the in-lake phosphorus concentration goal for Schwanz Lake. These alternatives ranged from administrative measures such as fertilizer management education programs to structural measures such as treatment pond construction. Each of the options were evaluated for their benefit in improving water quality, initial and long-term (operation and maintenance) costs, technical feasibility, and social acceptability. Special attention was given to alternatives which reduce pollutant loadings at the source. The proposed implementation plan combines both structural and non- structural elements with watershed and in-lake treatments. The plan proposes to raise Eagan's already heavy emphasis on public education to a new level. However, public education by itself will not be enough to reach water quality goals for the lake. Thus, a series of small in-lake and direct drainage projects have been proposed as well. Together with the City's existing requirements to mitigate the water quality impacts of new developments, this program will assure that Schwanz Lake reaches the established water quality goal. The final plan includes the following elements: A public information/education program which will focus on 3 \01. informing, enlisting support, and improving nonpoint source pollution prevention practices by residents. • Street sweeping to reduce the sediment and phosphorus load from single family areas in the direct drainage area. • Conversion of the wet-dry detention basin LP-32.1 on Rogers Court to a wet pond. • Creation of a sedimentation basin in the south bay of the lake. • Extension of the storm sewer outfall from Hay Lake past the proposed sedimentation basin. • Construction of a new wet pond (NURP basin) on park property near the park beach. • Hypolimnetic withdrawal to reduce the pool of soluble phosphorus in the deeper portions of the lake. • Continued monitoring to determine project effectiveness. Estimated costs over the 4-year project duration are $207,790. Conclusion The City of Eagan has demonstrated a strong, long-term commitment t lake water quality protection through the development and adoption of a comprehensive and innovative water quality management plan that has gained regional and state-wide recognition. The program incorporates in ordinance form strict regulatory controls to mitigate the impacts of new developments on water quality, places a heavy emphasis on public education, provides a source of dedicated program funding, sets community-wide priorities for lake water quality improvement, and provides for a long-term lake monitoring program. At the same time, Schwanz Lake is one of hundreds of lakes in the Metro area whose quality is affected by storm sewer discharges. Information generated by this project on the effectiveness of the identified remedial measures in restoring acceptable in-lake water quality will be widely applicable to these situations. With the assistance of the MPCA, the City has assembled a cost-effective strategy to improve water quality in a designated high-priority lake. The City looks forward to putting this plan into action with the continued involvement of the MPCA through the Clean Water Partnership Program. References Shodeen, Duane. 1992.

DATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 At it's September meeting, the Commission discussed under what conditions it might consider approval of wetlands replacement plans prior to the expiration of the interim program of the Wetlands Conservation Act (WCA) on December 15, 1993. The reason the issue was raised was because of an inquiry staff received regarding whether the City would consider approval of a wetland analysis and replacement plan for a 200-acre industrial site. The developer was interested in moving the wetland aspects of the project ahead of the normal plat review process in order to receive approval of the proposed replacement plan under the interim program of the WCA. During it's discussion, the Commission agreed that it would be willing to consider the proposal if the plan took a comprehensive approach to addressing the water and other natural resource management issues for the site in a way which would not otherwise occur in the platting process. The developer who made the inquiry has now submitted a site plan which addresses wetlands and water quality ponding issues as well as storm water volume control. Staff is in the process of reviewing the proposal and has forwarded it to the Departments of Planning/ Community Development and Public Works as well as the Forestry Division for comment. Comments from these units will be critical in helping determine whether there are issues that could compromise the ability of the developer to commit to a site plan that may be acceptable from a water quality and wetland management perspective. In addition, there may be broader City policy issues that should be addressed prior to a consideration of approval. In order to facilitate review of the proposal and prepare for action by the Commission at it's November meeting, staff is requesting that the Natural Resources Subcommittee of the Commission be convened to review the proposal, including a visit to the field site. A copy of the report submitted by the developers consultant is attached for your information. Staff will discuss with the Commission scheduling a meeting of the Subcommittee as soon as reasonably possible in October.

An EAW was prepared in 1982 by the City of Eagan for the general development of this site. A Master Plan was developed for the area at that time which identified office/warehouse, industrial and research and development uses within the overall area. This Master plan complied with the City's 1982 zoning and platting requirements. Much of the undeveloped land remaining within the original Eagandale Center Industrial Park is located within the area identified in the EAW as the Eagandale Technical Park and is located in the northeast quadrant of the Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington Avenue intersection (Figure 2). This is the site area for which this alteration permit application and replacement plan are submitted. This area encompasses 200 acres, of which 40 acres are zoned general industrial and the other 160 acres are zoned light industrial. Since the initial EAW was prepared there have been several changes in the City's policies, the policies and regulations of the Army Corps of Engineers and the State, resulting in the need for changes in the Site Plan for the Technical Park site. The revised Site Plan has resulted in a reduction in the amount of building area and increased the amount of open space, as compared to the original plan, due to the preservation of wetlands, trees, and water quality on the site. As a result of this reduction in overall impacts to the site, as compared to those studied in the EAW, the City and the EQB have determined that no additional environmental review or documents (EAW of EIS) are needed for the development of the Technical Park site. Currently, there are two potential developers interested in purchasing land in the areas of Lots A-i and B-i (Figure 3). Given that the site has several recognized constraints, the landowner saw the need to develop a new site plan in order to gain an understanding of the overall site constraints and how they might impact the ability to develop the land. It was concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Corps, DNR, City, Northwestern Mutual and future developers of the site, to prepare a comprehensive site plan that was designed to have the minimum impact on wetlands, trees and water quality while meeting the needs of an industrial park. The proposed plan is divided into three different phases; A, B, and C. These phases are designed around Lots A-1 and B-1 which are estimated to be the first areas to be developed. At the time that the first lot within a phase is to be developed, the remaining lots within that phase will be platted. The order in 1 i. which the phases develop will be determined only by when they are sold, and may even be under construction at the same time. The following discussion describes each of the factors limiting development on the site and how they relate to the site plan design. Alternatives to filling site wetlands have been reviewed. These alternatives are described along with a proposed wetland replacement plan. SITE DESCRIPTION The Technical Park Site covers approximately 200 acres of gently rolling to steeply rolling terrain. Three farmsteads are located within the site, with most of the area having been previously modified by agricultural practices (1957 aerial photo). Currently the active farmland is limited to the north and west half of the site and consists of corn and vegetable crops. Woody vegetation is concentrated in and around the farmstead buildings, wetlands and steep sloped areas, with several large oak trees located between and north of Wetlands D and E. Nine wetlands were delineated on the Eagandale Center site covering 16.8 acres. The wetland limits for these wetlands are shown in Figure 3. Two of the wetl;-?~:ds, which together cover nearly twelve acres of the site, are under DNR jurisdiction. These two wetlands have also been identified by the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Plan as storm water retention basins. The remaining five acres of wetland are also under City and Army Corps jurisdiction. Wetland A is the largest wetland on the site. It is predominantly a Type 4 wetland with a finger of Type 6/1- forested on the northwest corner. All three wetland parameters are obvious. A portion of this wetland is a DNR protected water and a designated stormwater management basin by the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Plan. Wetland B lies to the south of wetland A but is not contiguous. Wetland B is vegetated primarily with reed canary grass and is seasonally flooded as is evident by the mottled soils and the vegetation. Wetland C is a shallow basin in the southern portion of the site. This wetland has cattails, reed canary grass and a few other wetland forbs with young ash, cottonwood and willow trees in and along the edges. -11b. Wetland D is a typical Type 3 wetland that supports a solid stand of cattails and a narrow fringe of reed canary grass. Wetland E is the second largest wetland on the site and is predominantly open water. The banks on the southern. side of this basin are relatively steep and do not support emergent vegetation. Two shallow fingers of reed canary grass and other wetland forbs extend off the north and east side of this basin. Wetland F appears to be an excavated pond. It is a small pocket of open water with a fringe of reed canary grass. Wetland G is a seasonally flooded shallow basin that is made up primarily of reed canary grass, boxelder and some maple. Wetland H is another seasonally flooded basin. Reed canary grass, pinkweed and willow shrubs are the dominant vegetation. Wetland K appears to be a remnant of a wetland that was partially filled by an access road for the development to the east. It is vegetated with reed canary grass, willow shrubs and cottonwoods. --------- Table 1: --- ---- Wetland -------- -------------------------------- Characteristics ------------ -- --------- Wetland --------- Acreage -------- Type ----------- -- ---------------- Vegetation --------------------- * A 8.69 4/7 emergent/forested B 0.35 1 canary grass C 0.49 2/3 cattails D 1.09 3 cattails * E 4.75 5/2 aquatic/canary F 0.34 5 aquatic/canary G 0.48 1 canary grass H 0.48 2 canary grass K --------- 0.10 -------- 1 ----------- canary grass --------------------- Total 16.77 ------- acres ----------- ----- ---------- * DNR protected waters make ---------------- up part of these basins .1y. PROJECT PURPOSE The intent of Northwestern Mutual in creating the attached site and grading plan was to identify the most practical plan which considered and included all the known site limitations while still achieving the objective of creating saleable industrial lots that meet the City's zoning requirements. Therefore, the purpose of the proposed site grading plan and this permit application for wetland fill is to provide potential buyers with a planning tool that has comprehensively addressed the significant site issues. In order to prepare such a plan, the areas with significant limitations were identified before any site planning began. Wetlands and other significant vegetation, low points, high points, drainage patterns, and treatment needs were identified within the site. In addition to these site factors, other site restrictions were also identified including setbacks, future road right-of-way expansion, and industrial lot size requirements. From this information an access.road was drawn through the site and the site was divided into nineteen various sized industrial lots. Therefore, the Site Plan from the start was designed around most of the wetland area, many large oak trees within the site, the required storm water ponding and treatment areas, and the required wetland replacement areas. Additionally, this Plan has incorporated greater water quality treatment than previously identified within the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Plan by separating the stormwater treatment areas from the existing wetland areas. Northwestern Mutual believes that this plan represents an honest effort to avoid wetland impacts by balancing the site development needs and site limitations with the wetland preservation needs and the water quality and quantity restrictions. n5 . LIMITING FACTORS FOR DEVELOPMENT Even though the site is relatively large, not all of the site wetlands can be avoided by industrial development due to a combination of several limiting factors presented by the physical constraints of the site, current environmental constraints, and industrial development needs and guidelines. Reaulatorv Constraints These are the various factors that limit action on the site as a result of federal, state or local regulations or policies. - Wetland Avoidance Requirements There are three different agencies which have jurisdiction over activities within wetlands on this site; the MnDNR, the City of Eagan and the Army Corps of Engineers. The DNR requires a permit for any activity that is proposed below the ordinary high water mark (OHW) of DNR designated wetlands. Wetlands A and E are DNR designated wetlands with OHW's at elevations of 860 and 879, respectively. The City of Eagan, in implementing the interim program of the Wetland Conservation Act, has jurisdiction over filling, draining or burning activities in all wetland types. Similarly the Corps has jurisdiction over filling activities in all wetland types. A total of 16.77 acres of wetland has been delineated on-site. Permits are issued for those activities which are not feasibly avoidable and have been minimized to the extent practical. Replacement wetland is required to be created for these impacts at a ratio of at least 1:1. - Storm Water Management and Water Quality Requirements In coordination with designing the grading plan to avoid wetlands to the extent practical, upland areas also need to be set aside for storm water storage and water quality treatment requirements. The City has restricted the site runoff to 1 CFS, which is the maximum discharge rate they will allow due to downstream limitations. As a result, approximately 100 acre- feet of storage volume must be created on-site to hold the amount of runoff generated from the developed site during a 100 year rainfall event. Additionally, it is typically recommended by the DNR and the Corps, that if the storage areas also provide water quality treatment, the treatment areas should be constructed outside of the existing wetlands. The City recommends the use of Walker design criteria in designing treatment ponds. Approximately 30 acre feet of treatment volume should be provided for the proposed development. - Tree Preservation Guidelines The City also has tree preservation guidelines which recommend the preservation of significant trees and woodlands within the City. A significant tree is defined by the City as a healthy tree measuring a minimum of 8 inches in diameter for hardwood deciduous trees, or 12 inches in diameter for softwood deciduous trees, or a minimum of 12 feet of height for coniferous trees. A significant woodland is a grouping of trees covering 500 or more square feet of property and comprised predominantly of a single species with diameters between 4 and 12 inches, if deciduous, or between 4 and 12 feet in height, if coniferous. Any significant trees or woodlands should be replaced according to the City's tree replacement schedule. This schedule identifies the number and size of the replacement trees based on the type and size of the tree impacted. Physical Constraints These are factors which limit the usability of the site by development as a result of natural or man-made characteristics unique to the site. - topography/slopes An important factor that will dictate how the site can be developed is the site topography. There is at least 70 feet of vertical change in elevation within the site. The terrain is gently to steeply rolling which will require extensive planning to balance the cut and fill needs of the site, to match into adjacent grades, and to create sites that drain to adequate storm water storage areas without creating excessively steep slopes or potential erosion problems around the areas in which the grades will remain the same (i.e. avoided wetlands and trees). - site drainage The surface runoff from the site currently flows to the existing low points which are concentrated toward the center of the site. Some of the outlying, isolated low points will be modified as the site is graded in order to make each of the proposed lots drain towards existing and proposed storm sewer outlets. The combination of storm water detention ponds and storm sewer outlets outside of the existing wetlands reduces the amount of water level fluctuation in the natural wetland areas on the site that will not be filled. Development Constraints These are factors which are influenced by City ordinance standards, which set guidelines for physical development, and by market forces. The existing zoning and the adjacent land use for this parcel is primarily for industrial development. The land use to the north, east and southeast is developed industrial land. The area to the west is also planned for commercial and industrial use but is undeveloped at this time. The area to the south, separated by Yankee Doodle Road, is a multifamily residential development and golf course. One of the prospective developments being considered for the first phase is a truck terminal for a major common carrier company. They require a site of at least 30 to 40 acres in size to accomodate their needs for a warehouse building and adequate area for truck and trailer parking and storage. Trailer storage is considered "outside storage" by Eagan's zoning ordinance, which is allowed only in a general zoning district. The only available site within Eagandale Center with the proper zoning is in the northeast portion of the site (Figure 3, Lot A-1). This proposed development influences the location of the access road and the location of stbrm water ponding for this phase of the site plan. A second prospect, which would trigger a second phase of development, is a user who is planning an office/manufacturing/warehouse development of approximately 200,000 square feet. The only site area large enough for this development is in the east central part of the site (Figure 3, Lot B-i). Again, this prospect has substantial influence on the roadway alignment, adjacent lot configurations and storm water pending areas. Given the access needs of these two parcels, as well as the fixed points of access to collector streets at the north, west and south sides of the site dictate the general configuration of the proposed roadway system. The roadway system in turn is the framework which defines, and is also defined, by the adjacent lot configurations. The current and predicted future demand for industrial lots falls within a lot size range of three to eight acres. Optimum configurations range from square to rectangular shapes with not more than a 2.5:1 width to depth ratio. For lots in the size range described above, this dictates lot depths from a practical minimum of 400 to 600 feet. With these lot parameters, combined with the road -1F. alignment restrictions, there is very little room for alternate layouts that further avoid wetlands, and provides adequate drainage patterns and treatment. Market forces and land values dictate a high degree of efficiency necessary when developing industrial sites. To accomplish economically feasible returns, sites must be intensively developed with building and parking lot coverage within the parameters of zoning ordinance setback requirements. These forces result in industrial development on relatively large lots with impervious surface coverage in the 75 to 85 '.' range. By way of contrast, residential development typically results in 30 to 35 percent impervious surface coverage. As a result of greater impervious surface area, industrial areas generate proportionately higher amounts of storm water runoff, requiring large on-site detention volumes. On this site, the storm water ponding requirements are further expanded and complicated by the need to preserve existing wetland water quality, the need to treat site runoff to remove sediment and nutrients, the presence of two DNR protected water bodies which should not be used for untreated storm water storage, difficult topography, and downstream flow restriction requiring additional storage volumes on site. Given the combination of the various development, regulatory and physical constraints described above, which are unique to this site and its potential users, precludes the avoidance of all of the site wetlands. '15 . PROPOSED WETLAND IMPACTS Nineteen lots have been identified in the site plan (Figure 4). Fifteen of these lots avoid wetland impacts by incorporating the wetlands into the proposed development. Avoidance of wetlands on the other four lots however was not feasible due to the size, location and/or elevation of the wetland as compared to the rest of the site. The proposed site plan avoids 14.63 acres of wetland within the site. The resulting wetland impact of the proposed plan would be the filling of 2.14 acres of isolated wetland basins. Approximately one acre of this impact (Wetlands G and H) is a result of the site requirements of a potential truck transfer facility on Lot A-1. The required access roads through the site results in 0.35 acres of impact (Wetland B), and the required grading of two other lots, due to significant topographic relief, another 0.80 acres of impact result (Wetlands C and F). --------- Table 2: --------- ---------- Proposed -+-------- -------- Wetland -------- ----------------------- Impacts and Mitigation ----------------------- ------- ---- Wetland Wetland Wetland Proposed Proposed --- Storage Number --------- Area (Ac) ---------- Type -------- Impacts ---------- Mitigation ----- Ponds * A 8.69 4/7 -- -------- 0.3 ------- 4.1 B 0.35 1 0.35 -- -- C 0.49 2/3 0.49 -- -- D 1.09 3 -- -- -- ` * E 4.75 5/2 -- 2.3 0.7 F 0.34 5 0.34 -- -- G 0.48 1 0.48 -- -- H 0.48 2 0.48 -- 3.5 K 0.10 1 -- 1.0 1.6 --------------------------------------------------------- Totals 16.77 2.14 3.6 9.9 in acres --------------------------------------------------------- * DNR protected waters These five wetlands are not avoidable by the proposed site grading plan or by any reasonable alternatives. All efforts to avoid additional wetland areas result in transferring impacts to other wetland areas, significant indirect impacts to the wetland or significant losses in developable land which make the alternatives unreasonable and impracticable. S6b. PROPOSED WETLAND BENEFITS The proposed Site Plan has not only avoided nearly ninety percent of the site wetland area, it also provides several direct and indirect benefits to the avoided wetlands. Using a qualitative evaluation of wetland functions for the proposed site versus the further avoidance of wetlands, it is obvious the proposed plan provides higher functional wetland value on- site than increased wetland avoidance would. Wildlife will benefit more from the larger, contiguous, and more diverse open space of the proposed plan than several small isolated pockets of wetland open space that would occur by avoiding wetlands C, F, G, and H. These small areas would have little functional value with industrial development surrounding them. The preserved wetland areas will maintain their storm water storage function, however, all sedimentation and water quality functions will be concentrated within separate treatment ponds. As a result the impact of the increased runoff from the developed site will be minimized. Under alternative plans, treatment ponds would need to be designed smaller, deeper and with steeper slopes, resulting in less efficiency, in an attempt to regain usable upland areas for development. Visual values would also be higher with a larger more diverse area of upland open space and wetland than with several small, isolated, monotypic areas of wetland with no buffer areas. These small isolated wetlands, if avoided, would have a high potential for drying up as a result of changes in watershed characteristics, resulting in unattractive remnant wetland basins with very low functional value. Cs1. ALTERNATIVES As described in the previous sections, the proposed alternative has the least impact on wetlands through filling and indirect impacts and provides the greatest protection or preservation of wetland function and value of those wetlands that will not be filled by the proposed development. The fill into Wetland B is required for the construction of the access road through the site. Moving this road north, to avoid Wetland B, would result in impacts to Wetland A which would be greater than those to Wetland B. Even if moving the road surface would avoid part of Wetland B, the road embankment would remain within the wetland unless the roadbed is moved dramatically. The road elevation in this area needs to be at a 875 as the road descends downhill from Yankee Doodle. Wetland B is at approximately an 863 elevation. A proposed sideslope of 3:1 off the shoulder of the road would result in at least a 115 foot wide corridor for the road. Even a 2:1 sideslope would result in fill impacts to Wetland A if Wetland B were to be avoided by the road. Additionally, steep side slopes down to lowlands on both sides of the road, would create a significant public safety hazard. If the roadway were moved to the south, Lot 3 becomes completely unusable given the easement for future Yankee Doodle road expansion and the minimum lot depth requirements for industrial development. This lot, as proposed, may be sold to the City for a Fire Department Station. Wetlands G and H would be filled by a proposed truck transfer facility. This type of facility requires a large expanse of land that has adequate area for semi-truck movements, parking and loading areas away from noise sensitive properties. This use required general industrial zoning. This is the only forty acre general industrial parcel in this part of Eagan that allows the facility to be somewhat isolated from other uses with less truck traffic. In this case, if avoiding the fill would avoid the impact to the wetland, the site plan may be shifted to do so. However, even if the building or pavement were to avoid direct fill into these two basins, the fill area would be pushed to the very edge of these wetlands to maintain as much usable upland space as possible. As a result, the watershed area of these wetlands would be severely modified,.and the character of the wetland would change drastically. Since these areas would be so severely modified without filling, it is more feasible to fill the wetland in these two locations and replace them near other wetlands where their existing wetland functions would be maintained, since non-fill impacts do not require mitigation under the Section 404 or the Wetland Conservation Act. s-a . Similarly, wetlands C and F, would be filled within two smaller industrial lots. The locations of these basins within their respective lots, due to the differences in grades of the proposed building elevation, adjacent lot elevations and existing wetland elevations, make avoiding these wetlands impractical regardless of who the end user will be. Under the proposed Site Plan, approximately one third of both of these parcels are unusable for industrial development as a result of avoidance of other wetlands, proposed wetland mitigation areas, and stormwater treatment ponds. The elevation difference between the existing wetlands and the proposed building floor elevations for these four wetlands (C, F, G, and H) is between 15 and 30 feet. Given the use of 3:1 side slopes as an example, the distance from the edge of wetland to usable upland would range from 45 to 90 feet. Attempts to preserve additional wetlands within the site above and beyond the area proposed in this application would result in the loss of the benefits provided by the proposed development alternative. The reason the proposed benefits can be achieved by the proposed Site Plan and not other alternatives is a result of the need to maintain usable industrial lots. By concentrating the replacement wetlands and storm water storage and treatment areas near the preserved wetlands, greater benefits are created in and around these wetlands. These benefits are reduced as replacement areas, treatment ponds and proposed upland open spaces are reduced in size to compensate for upland areas lost to the preservation of other wetlands. PROPOSED MITIGATION The proposed plan offers at least thirty acres of contiguous open space which consists of a mixture of uplands and wetlands. This space provides buffer areas around the preserved wetland areas, which are not required nor would be possible under other alternatives described. The plan also preserves at least two dozen large oak trees that would be removed under other alternatives that attempt to further avoid wetland impacts. This seven acre area of open space will remain between wetland areas K, D, E, and A which provides a natural greenspace connection between these wetlands. The proposed wetland replacement areas encompass 3.6 acres of land and are located adjacent to existing wetland basins that will be avoided by the proposed grading plan. The potential success of the replacement plan is increased by providing a known source of hydrology, the existing wetlands, to the new basins. In addition to the 1.7:1 ratio of replacement, the plan also includes the creation of nearly ten acres of storm water storage and treatment facilities that will remove sediment and nutrients from site runoff prior to entering into the remaining wetlands and the replacement wetlands. These stormwater ponds are designed to a depth of only five to six feet and with an average of 5:1 side slopes on the developed side and shallower where possible on the undeveloped side. The mitigation areas, and the storm water treatment ponds to the extent practicable, will be designed and constructed using the guide-lines listed in Table 3. These guidelines have been developed through experience in constructing wetland mitigation areas and coordination with several regulatory agencies. qy. ---------------------------------------------------- Table 3: General Guidelines for Wetland Mitigation ---------------------------------------------------- 1. Photos of each mitigation area will be taken prior to and after the grading has been completed (as will be required by the Corps). 2. Each mitigation area must be sub-cut by at least 12 inches below the planned finished grade of the wetland. 3. Bottom Contours would be varied to promote habitat for a variety of emergent vegetation. Emergents are expected to grow where normal water depths are less than 30 inches. 4. Side-slopes of the wetland basin should not be steeper than 10:1 and shallower where possible. 5. The outer limits of the wetland should meander in order to maximize the amount of upland/wetland edge as possible. 6. The upland slopes adjacent to the wetland should vary, with slopes between 3:1 and 20:1. 7. Organic soil will be deposited and spread into the newly created basins at a depth of at least 12 to 18 inches to provide a growth medium for wetland plants and to provide seed and root stock. 8. Organic soils will be excavated from wetland areas to be filled, prior to their filling. The top 12 to 24 inches of this organic material should be used in Step V. 9. Minimum use of heavy equipment will be used in the spreading and grading of organic soils within the constructed basins to minimize compaction of these soils. 10. Copies of the mitigation grading plans will be forwarded to permitting agencies prior to their construction. ---------------------------------------------------- ,is. - /?+'•' _ J fir ?. v 'JI'0 ''?'t,S • Z n. it • . • . ? ij 33 .•_ ?•: ^o ?' r . :- ------- p s a ?? j O - < C Ac my event VVV - ?- ?t -MEN IG MEN c 4 HEIGHTS RD Pit 90 rust-Ph NDOTA' co ATE Y' ?- -sat UNOER ONS UCTIO N" r ! = fa as a ~ ? - '?' ?- • • ?1 - ©; aalfe of ss as _ k.: 89O Ousn b ROAD '?• 7. ,-11t. moo.,, _",`? r?\,•,"?/? ? ?• '.®?? ? ^_ q ?1:?? ?

That compares to 987 children and 123 teams a year ago. 2. •« Staff will conduct National Youth Sports Coaches Clinics for basketball on October 4 and 6. Jon Oyanagi and Dan Schultz will conduct the clinics. 3. •« The Babysitting/Latch Key Clinic scheduled for October 23 is full. This program, offered quarterly, always fills. The Women's Fire Auxiliary coordinates the speakers for this activity. 4. •« A full-page ad for the department's Fall programs will appear in the Eagan Sun Current. The ad will accrue no cost to the City. Numerous neighborhoods were missed when the City newsletter was delivered. The offer to place the ad came from the delivery service. 5. •r A total of 761 baseball and softball game reservations were made between March and September this year. This represents a 43% increase over 1992 (which had an 83% increase over 1991). The games included in this statistic are: • Held at Class A sites. • Entail field set-up, i.e. bases set out, chalking infield lines. The user groups are: • Eagan High School • Dakota Hills Middle School • The Eagan Bulls Town Baseball Team • EAA Travel Baseball • EAA Travel Softball • EAA In-House Ponys & Colts Baseball • Legion and 16 Year Old Baseball • "Challenge" Softball Games; individuals and businesses • Youth Softball and Baseball Tournaments The major growth comes from: • Increased number of youth tournament games. • Increased numbers of youth teams' season games. The Department's adult league activity is not included in this data, nor does it include EAA League games! Approximately 1,800 games are generated by adult softball. 6. •« 1993 picnic facility reservations were: • Thomas Lake Pavilion 93 • Trapp Farm Park Pavilion 106 • Shelter Buildings 56 • Sun Shelters _5 270 This represents a 123% increase over 1992 and a 55% increase in the last two years. 7. •« The Department has purchased the City of Lakeville's portion of the stage. With increased programs in both communities, several common dates were experienced over the past year. It was no longer feasible to continue to share the equipment. 8. •« The senior citizen group will go to the Rosemount Senior Center on Friday, October 8, for a morning of euchre and then try out the new senior dining provided by the Rosemount American Legion. C\\,. 9. •« The Northview Athletic tennis courts have been busy this Fall with Eagan High and Dakota Hills Middle School tennis team practices and matches. In addition, the High School has had two invitational tennis tournaments. The JV tournament is yet to come. During previous seasons, when the Northview courts could not handle a days' activity, JV or 9th grade would go to Rahn Park. That has not been possible this year because of the color coating contract on City facilities. 10. •« Staff will be attending the October 15 "Teens at Risk" workshop. The MRPA Recreation Programming section has assembled a strong program, keynoted by Dr. John Benson of the Search Institute, an organization dedicated to the changing needs of youth. 11. •« Seven adult touch football teams continue their season this fall through October 27. Games are played in the outfield at Goat Hill Wednesday evenings. 12. •« Fall softball ends October 5; 64 teams competed.

One co-rec day time league was included along with the other 23 evening leagues. 218 teams participated in 1992. In 1993, Eagan Parks and Recreation directed the United States Slow Pitch Softball Association (USSSA)/Minnesota Recreation and Park Association (MRPA) Men's Class D Region IV Tournament and the USSSA/MRPA State Mixed 14" Class A and Class B Tournaments. 66 men's Class D teams played August 13, 14 and 15 at Northview Athletic Fields and 36 mixed 14" teams played September 11 and 12. Both tournaments bring in direct revenue from our concession operation and indirect revenue to the stores and restaurants in Eagan. The Tournament of Champions was conducted for the third year in a row through the cooperation of the parks and recreation departments from Apple Valley, Burnsville, Savage and Eagan. This concept has the league winners playing together on the weekend they are idle to tune up for their respective region or state tourney. Eagan hosted the Women's and Men's D Tournament of Champions on the same weekend as our play offs. We also held a League Tournament on June 12 and 13 for Men's C, Men's D and Women's C teams. For 1994, there is a need to see if the number of teams continues to decline. 1993 was the first year the number went down. This happened in spite of expanded eligibility requirements. We were at capacity on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, near capacity on Tuesdays, and had room for teams on Mondays and Fridays. We will offer the day time co-rec league and a day time men's league as well. Other issues may arise from the League Leadership meeting on October 7. A manager's evaluation meeting was held September 16 with only four of 200 managers attending. This was another popular year for Camp Creative. The younger group of 6 to 9 year olds was near the capacity of 30 each of the seven weeks. The older group of 8 to 15 year olds averaged 20 per week. "What A Mess" was the most popular day living up to its name with shaving cream fights, mud tug-o-war, pudding feeds and more. Campers also dabbled with drama, video, music, food, arts and crafts and treasure hunting. Shown outdoors at Trapp Farm Park, the once a month movie night saw 75 people in June, 30 in July and 25 in August. Beautiful evenings made the conditions great for watching with the exception of mosquitos. Due to the instructor, John Glynn, the in-line skating lessons have blossomed into a popular program. Spring sessions saw 55 beginners, intermediates and adult beginners take lessons. This summer, 46 students registered. This activity bears watching because it is growing but may taper off as skateboarding did a few years ago. The difference is that all ages enjoy in-line skating. Rosemount directed the South of the River Co-Rec Soccer League for the summer and fall seasons. This responsibility rotates through the communities neighboring Eagan. Eagan ran the league in 1991. Eight teams participate with players from Eagan, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Farmington, Lakeville, Rosemount and Savage. Five teams played outdoor basketball at O'Leary and Bridle Ridge parks. Games began at O'Leary but the informal use is so great there that we moved to the lesser utilized Bridle Ridge court. Weather cooperated except for the last night when it rained. After nearing extinction, the Fleet Feet Walking Club and the Free Wheelers Bicycling Club revived themselves this Spring. They continue to meet monthly, walk and ride weekly, and plan events. In October, they hope to go for a hayride after their monthly meeting. In November, a self-defense lecture by the Eagan Police Department is planned. That is a summary of the 1993 summer programs under my supervision. Evaluation is ongoing and each year programs are tweaked to try new ideas or solve problems. Now is the time for new programs to be formulated and staff welcomes suggestions. JO/Ik cc: Dorothy Peterson, Superintendent of Recreation L1/SMMRREPT.MEM ON . MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION, AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: JOHN K VONDELINDE, SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS DATE: SEPTEMBER 27, 1993 SUBJECT: PROPOSED PROPERTY ACQUISITION PLAN - U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE/MINNESOTA VALLEY NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE The purpose of this memorandum is to review with the Commission a study currently being done by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for the proposed acquisition of additional properties within the approved boundary of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife (refuge). In addition, staff is also requesting the Commission's input on the proposed acquisitions as it relates to the City of Eagan. BACKGROUND Between September 9th and September 16th, the Service held four public information meetings, in communities surrounding the refuge, to describe the proposed acquisition plan, planning process and schedule, and to accept written or verbal comments from interested parties. On Sept. 14th, I attended the public information meeting at the Savage City Council Chambers to listen to the Service's proposal (no meeting was held in Eagan). The Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge was originally established by an Act of Congress in 1976 which authorized the Service to acquire 12,500 acres of wildlife habitat and 9,500 acres of recreation area within the approved boundaries of the refuge. Under the current proposal, the Service is planning to complete its Acquisition Plan with the purchase of 6,888 acres of additional wetland and upland habitat. These additions will link all existing units of the Refuge, and provide protection and management of wildlife habitat along a contiguous corridor in the Minnesota Valley, extending from Fort Snelling State Park to Le Sueur, Minnesota. The overriding goals of the Refuge's Long Range Plan are to preserve rare and important plant and wildlife communities within the Minnesota River Valley and to build upon existing recreation opportunities being coordinated between federal, state, and local resource agencies. The Service is now beginning a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed acquisition area. This process will include the series of public information meetings (that were already held), in addition to a 30-day formal comment period which ends on October 16th. Once the initial public information/scoping process is completed, the Service will determine whether an EAS (Environmental Assessment Statement) or an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) will need to be prepared. That study and documentation will be conducted during this coming winter. At the completion of the EAS/EIS analysis, a series of additional public hearings will be held to gain public and agency input on a variety of implementation alternatives. Approval of the EAS/EIS and acquisition plan by the Secretary of the Interior is anticipated in the summer of 1994. The Service will then begin the process of negotiating with property owners for the acquisition of parcels identified in the approved plan, using appropriations authorized under the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund. However, the Service will need to secure additional appropriations from Congress in order to complete the entire 6,900 acre proposed acquisition. A copy of the current Acquisition Plan, showing proposed additions to the Refuge, is attached to this memorandum. A detailed plan of the Eagan area is also included. As the Commission will note, the largest acquisitions will include the Carver Rapids/Bevins Creek/Rapids Lake area in Carver and Scott Counties, the Purgatory Creek area in Eden Prairie, the Savage fen in the City of Savage, and open space along the north side of the Minnesota River in Bloomington. As it pertains to the City of Eagan, the only proposed acquisition is that of an nine-acre tract of the "Nicols" fen located just north of the Chicago Northwestern Railroad line between Cedar Avenue and Nicols Road. This will be in addition to a 14 acre tract which the Service already owns on the south side of the railroad line. No other acquisitions are proposed for the Eagan area under the current plans. 1 ANALYSIS The proposed acquisition of the Nicols fen is a relatively small element in the overall scheme of the proposed Acquisition Program for the entire Refuge. If the Service is successful in completing its EAS/EIS for this project, the Nicols fen will be one of the highest priorities in the entire Refuge for acquisition. Refuge manager, Mr. Thomas Larson, has indicated that acquisition would likely occur within the next one to two years, utilizing existing carryover funds from previous acquisition programs. As the Commission is aware, the Nicols fen contains many rare and unique plant species which are common only to calcarious wetland areas, of which there are less that 200 in the entire North American continent. The acquisition of this parcel would offer permanent protection for the remaining fragments of the fen, while complementing existing state and federal recreation/wildlife resources within the Minnesota River Valley area. The proposed acquisition would be in keeping with the City's plan to develop a multi-use trails corridor along Nicols Road, connecting the City of Eagan trails system with the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge and Fort Snelling State Park. Located directly across Nicols Road from the proposed "ISTEA" trail head facility, the calcarious fen area will also offer additional interpretive opportunities for biological study and habitat preservation. The proposed nine-acre acquisition is currently in private ownership. However, the owner does appear to be willing to sell the property to the Fish and Wildlife Service once funding becomes available. The property is currently zoned light industrial, but any future development of the site is unlikely, given the presence of the unique calcareous fen plant community. Following the appraisal process and acquisition by the Service, the City will be eligible to receive 3/4 of one percent of the parcel acquisition cost through the federal revenue sharing program. Theoretically, these dollars are intended to offset any corresponding loss in local tax revenues as a result of the property being tax exempt under federal ownership. In the final analysis, it appears that the proposed acquisition of the nine-acre Nicols fen by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services is consistent with the federal, state, and local plans for continued acquisition and development of the Minnesota River Valley for natural resource protection and enhanced public recreation opportunity. FOR COMMISSION ACTION It wo:dj a appr priate for the Commission to review the proposed acquisition of the nine-acre tract of the Nicol that formal written comments can be submitted to the Service reflec he Ci s general position. of Parks /cm Encls. 34wp:advispks.266 2 OR • Additions La Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Carver, Dakota, Hennepin and Scott Counties, Minnesota 5 L 0 494 / v o ?i' o'OF •? 41 Eden Prairie), oBloomington ?? °• _ ?"? ? / Doe Q •? 1? 13 ,? 35 E Chaska e w -_?101 '? d a O ?a e,v: Shakopee 212` C •o ;a?' r Carver,.

MINNESOTA POSTED OCTOBCR 199;1 SUBJECT APPLICANT: LOCATION: EXISTING ZONING: DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DATE OF REPORT: COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING, AND PRELIMINARY PLAT (KERB ADDITION) SHFA ARCHITECTS SW QUARTER SECTION 10 GENERAL BUSINESS (GB) SEPTEMBER 289 1"3 SEPTEMBER 229 1"3 COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted requesting a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from Limited Business (LB) to, Community Shopping Center (CSC), a Rezoning from General Business to Planned Development (PD) and a Preliminary Plat consisting of four lots on 6.5 acres of property currently platted as Lots 7 and 8, Block 3, Effress Addition. EXISTING CONDITIONS/BACKGROUND: The site is located east of Pilot Knob Road, south of Marice Drive, and west of Sherman Court. The 46,500 sq. ft. Eagan Athletic Club built in 1973 is presently located at the center of this site and is constructed with tip-up concrete panels. Adjacent land uses include Cereal Chemists to the south, Unisys to the west, R-4 property to the north, and undeveloped General Business land to the east. In addition to the athletic club building, the site contains an outdoor swimming pool south of the building and surface parking on the northern portion of the lot. COMMENTS: The applicant is proposing a Planned Development that will combine the athletic club use with two 30-unit three-story apartment buildings and a 9,000 sq. ft. retail building to be developed in three phases. The proposed Phase I is for one 30-unit three- story apartment building; Phase II includes a 9,000 sq. ft. retail building; and Phase III is the second 30-unit three-story apartment building. At the present time, the applicant has not provided any confirmed retail tenants. It may be appropriate for the City to designate specific retail uses for this strip center to insure compatible uses. The site plan shows two access points to the site from Marice Drive with the easternmost access serving the apartments and the western access serving the athletic club/retail area. Also, an access from Sherman Court will serve the underground parking of Phase III (apartment building); no access is proposed from Pilot Knob Road. 10\. The apartments will provide one and two bedrooms only, the applicant has stated that 70% of the units will be two bedrooms. Rental ranges have not yet been determined. The applicant has agreed to locate a tot lot. All Community Shopping Center building and parking/drive aisle setbacks are met; however, parking space lengths and drive aisle widths to serve the retail component of the proposal do not meet City standards. Head-to-head parking stalls do not meet the 20' length requirement and the eastern drive aisle does not meet the 24' width required by the City. The applicant is proposing a brick facade for the retail building and vinyl siding on the apartment buildings, both of which will surround the tip-up concrete construction of the existing building. It may be appropriate as part of this Planned Development for the athletic club to undergo a cosmetic facelift that will architecturally tie this building in with the proposed buildings. The applicant shall submit renderings of proposed aesthetic improvements to the athletic club for review and approval by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council prior to ratification of the Planned Development Agreement. The site plan shows a service area and trash enclosure on the north side of the retail building which shall be constructed of brick and sized to accommodate both trash and recycling receptacles. A new service area and trash enclosure is also shown at the rear of the athletic club which shall be' architecturally-treated as well, and sized for trash and recycling operations. All apartment building trash and recycling shall be handled inside each building. Elevations provided of each building do not show any rooftop mechanical equipment. This type of equipment, if any, shall not be visible from any public right-of-way. PARKING: The applicant is proposing 9' wide stalls for the entire site. The City standard is 10' widths with the exception of designated employee stalls which have been allowed at 9'. The site plan provides 57 retail parking spaces, 58 surface, 60 underground spaces for the apartment buildings, and 90 spaces for the athletic club. Currently, 139 spaces exist solely for athletic club use-of which 34 are employee spaces located behind the building. City Code does not specify required on-site parking for health clubs; although a current proposal north of Thomas Lake Center is providing parking at a rate of one space per 250 sq.ft. which is consistent with data from the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE). The Eagan Athletic Club has a building area of approximately 46,500 sq. ft. which would result in 186 required on-site parking spaces at the 1:250 ratio. Staff contacted the City of Bloomington and found they base health club parking on load capacities. According to the Eagan Fire Marshal, the athletic club building has a maximum load capacity of 217 people. Assuming a liberal average of 1.5 persons per automobile frequenting the club results in a 11 minimum on-site parking need of 143 spaces. The reduction to 90 spaces proposed to serve the club will not provide enough space at peak times. The proximity of the proposed retail use to the athletic club will result in daily congestion in the southwestern portion of this site due to the similarity of peak use times of these two business types. A combination of the conflict in peak use times and the parking shortage for the athletic club will result in athletic club patrons competing for, and occupying spaces earmarked for retail users and vice versa. Again, the parking shortages outlined exist with proposed 9' stall widths and would be magnified if the parking met the City standard 10' stall width. The residential portion of the site plan provides the minimum required enclosed parking of one space per unit which shall be included in each unit's rent, while the surface parking is two spaces short of the required 60 space minimum. The two extra stalls can easily be accommodated; however, the layout of this parking area does not lend itself to convenience for a majority of the units in general, _and specifically to future residents of the Phase III building. Also, staff has witnessed problems with a number of existing apartments in the City when units are occupied by more people than bedrooms, resulting in severe parking shortages, forcing parking in drive aisles and fire lanes. The applicant has stated the target tenants for these units will be young, single/married adults;.this population has high potential of more licensed drivers per bedroom which has been a problem elsewhere in the City. LANDSCAPING/SIGNAGE: The conceptual landscape plan submitted screens parking areas adequately. A mixture of plant species and sizes will provide year-round color. A minimum 3' tall berm shall be maintained along Pilot Knob Road and Marice Drive. An underground irrigation system to all landscaped and green areas will be required. In addition to the existing athletic club ground sign, the applicant is proposing a pylon sign in the southwest corner of the site for the retail building and a new ground sign on the north side of the site for the apartment building. The elevation drawings show a uniform sign band with 2' tall letters along the top of the retail building. The City Sign Inspector has had ongoing problems with the athletic club's temporary promotional signage. City Sign Code requirements are specific for temporary signage, but athletic club owners/managers have not been cooperative in this regard. TREE PRESERVATION: A tree preservation and tree replacement plan has been prepared. The proposed development will impact both significant trees and significant woodlands. A total of 36 significant trees and 15,500 sq. ft. of significant woodlands will be removed. In accordance with the tree replacement schedule, the developer will be responsible for mitigating the loss of significant trees through the planting of 24 Category A, 48 Category B, or 96 Category C replacement trees. In addition, the developer will be responsible for replacing the significant woodlands with 43 Category B or 86 Category C trees which will be in addition to landscape requirements. GRADING/DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL: According to the preliminary grading plan submitted with this application, a substantial portion of the site will be disturbed to prepare the area for the proposed development. The grading for this site will require a maximum cut of 8' and a maximum fill of 9'. Approximately 0.4 acres of trees will be saved on this site. The storm water drainage from this site will be directed to an existing storm sewer system in Sherman Court and Marice Drive that drains to Pond CP-5. Pond CP-5 is a pond on the City's Storm Water Management Plan and it has an outlet which drains westerly across Pilot Knob Road to Pond CP-4. The development will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards. Pond CP-5 and the trees on this site shall be protected from the grading operations by the use of adequate erosion control measures. Detailed plans and specifications shall be submitted with the final grading plan covering the construction of the proposed retaining walls. The preliminary grading plan shows a 10' high retaining wall to be built along the west side of the existing swimming pool. WATER QUALITY & WETLANDS: This development is located in Drainage Basin C. Runoff from the development will be discharged to Pond CP-5, a sedimentation basin east of Pilot Knob Road and north of Marice Drive. Since there are no downstream recreational water bodies, staff will recommend a cash dedication for this development. The cash dedication will be based on the change in runoff characteristics between the existing development and the new development. There are no wetlands on the site. These recommendations are subject to approval by the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission.

G SUBJECT: • PRELIMINARY PLAT & VARIANCE (NORWEST 3RD ADDITION) APPLICANT EPP PROPERTIES LOCATION: SW QUARTER SECTION 10 EXISTING ZONING: PLANNED DEVELOPMENT-LIMITED BUSINESS (PD-LB) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: SEPTEMBER 28,1993 DATE OF REPORT: SEPTEMBER 219 1"3 COMPILED By.. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted requesting a Preliminary Plat consisting of one 2.8 acre lot previously zoned Planned Development- Limited Business (PD-LB) and a Variance to reduce the required on-site parking by nine stalls for a medical office building located north of the Norwest Bank and east of the Eagan Family Care Clinic, east of Pilot Knob Road and north of Yankee Doodle Road. BACKGROUND: In February 1987, the City Council approved a Preliminary Plat for Norwest 3rd Addition. consisting of a 38,000 sq. ft. mixed office/medical building on this site; however, the project was never final platted. The applicant is again proposing to plat Outlot A, Norwest 2nd Addition, into a 38,000 sq. ft. medical building which will complete the three-lot Norwest Planned Development. Surrounding land uses include the Cereal Chemists building and the Eagan Athletic Club to the north. The applicant has built, and still manages, seven medical buildings throughout Minnesota. Two of the largest medical facilities are located in St. Cloud, Minnesota; however, they have built a building similar to the one proposed on Highway 13 in Burnsville. COMMENTS: The proposed use will include an outpatient surgical center as well . as physicians and surgeons medical offices. The use is consistent with the Planned Development-Limited Business zoning and the Limited Business designation on the Land Use Guide Plan. The site plan shows a two-story building with a footprint of 19,232 sq. ft., 248 parking stalls of which 24 are in a parking deck located at the northwestern portion of the site, and 44 spaces located in a garage beneath the building. City Code requires on-site parking at a ratio of one stall per 150 sq. ft. of gross building area, or 257 stalls. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow nine fewer stalls and is proposing 9' stall widths v .. for all perimeter and garage parking. The City standard is a 10' stall width, although designated employee parking stalls have been allowed at 9. The applicant's 1987 project proposed all 9' stalls, however, the City Council, as a condition of plat approval, required 10' stalls throughout the plat. Based on the applicant's ongoing experience with this type of facility, employee parking will comprise at least 50% of the on-site parking. The plan calls for the building to be constructed of precast panels, although a majority of the facade will be mirrored green glass. This is not consistent with the Norwest Bank building, Eagan Family Care building (part of this Planned Development), or the Cereal Chemists building which are all constructed with brick exteriors. The site will have two access points to Norwest Court and one to Sherman Court. As proposed, the building covers approximately 15.5% of the site. City Code allows a maximum coverage of 20% in a Limited Business zoning district. The building and parking/drive aisles all meet standard setback requirements. All trash and recycling will be handled inside the building. The applicant anticipates the hours of operation to be 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. This medical facility will not include emergency care. SIGNAGE,/LANDSCAPING: It will be necessary for the applicant to submit an overall sign plan for review and approval prior to Final Plat approval. After discussion with staff, the applicant submitted a revised landscape plan that provides a good mixture of plant material that will provide year-round color. All sizes proposed meet, or exceed Code requirements. No changes will be required for the final submission other than it being on an approved grading plan. PARKS & RECREATION: The Parks and Recreation staff will be recommending a cash parks and cash trails dedication to the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources at its October 1993 meeting. A tree preservation and tree replacement plan has been submitted. Sixty-three hundred square feet of significant woodland will be removed ' as part of this development. The developer will be responsible for planting 19 Category B replacement trees as mitigation for the lost woodland consistent with the tree preservation guidelines. These replacement trees will be in addition to the regular landscaping requirements for this site. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROLS "The preliminary grading plan shows removal of the hill located in the center of the development. The maximum cut is 10 feet and the maximum fill is 5 feet. The Minnesota Department of Transportation will not allow any surface water runoff to be discharged into their right-of-way east of this development. Therefore, all drainage must be conveyed to Pond CP-5 (see attached map) located north of Marice Drive. This pond has a gravity outlet to. an isolated (no outlet) major drainage basin (CP-4) located within Unisys Park 2nd Addition west of Pilot Knob Road. In order,to provide drainage for the development of this property, an extensive storm sewer lateral system was extended from Pond CT-5 southerly along Sherman Court to this proposed development under City Project #567. The preliminary grading plan shows that approximately 2 acres of this site will drain to the existing 15" storm sewer system constructed along Sherman Court. The remaining portion of the site is shown to drain overland to Norwest Court. The existing storm sewer that drains Norwest Court flows in a northerly direction along Pilot Knob Road to Pond CP-5. The preliminary grading plan shows a 6' high retaining wall to be constructed along the north property line. The developer will be required to submit detailed plans and specifications covering the :construction of the proposed retaining wall. The developer 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: This development is located in Drainage Basin C. Runoff from the development will be discharged to Pond CP-5, a sedimentation basin east of Pilot Knob Road. Since there are no downstream recreational water bodies, a cash dedication will be recommended for this development. The amount of the dedication is estimated at $26,600. There are no wetlands on the site. These recommendations are subject to approval by the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, depth and capacity is immediately available at the north line of this development. A 9" sanitary sewer drains in a northerly direction from the north plat line to Sherman Court. The preliminary utility plan shows connecting to the 9" line and extending an 8" line to the proposed building. 'W5. Watermain of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is readily available to serve this site from an existing 6" line at, Sherman Court and from an existing 8" line that runs along the southwest property line. The watermain layout for this development shall include a loop from the existing 6" watermain in Sherman Court to the existing 8" watermain along the southwest property line. Under the original platting of the Norwest Addition, it was anticipated that the internal looping of the watermain would connect to the existing dead- end stub on Sherman Court to provide adequate fire flows.for the ultimate development. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: The preliminary site plan shows that two driveway openings are planned to connect to Norwest Court and one driveway opening is planned to connect to Sherman Court. The Sherman Court driveway connection will require 130 feet of private street construction across the adjacent northerly parcels. All the proposed driveway openings shall connect to the City's public streets with concrete aprons. EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS: In order to construct the watermain looping, additional easements will have to be obtained from the private property to the north to allow extension of the watermain to Sherman Court right-of-way. All easements necessary for the looping of the watermain shall be a minimum 20' in width. The preliminary grading plan shows a possible encroachment into the property to the north (Cereal Chemists) during the construction of a substantial retaining wall. The encroachment will require the acquisition of adequate slope easements before grading can begin. Any encroachment of grading into I-35E right-of-way will require the appropriate permits from MnDOT. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - NORWEST 3RD 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 CONDITIONS OF PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL FOR NORWEST 3RD ADDITION 1.

SUBJECT: WAIVER OF PLAT APPLICANT: GREGORY ROUNDS LOCATION: P.I.D. #10-01000-032-03 EXISTING ZONING: DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DATE OF REPORT: R-1 (SINGLE FAMILY) SEPTEMBER 289 1"3 SEPTEMBER 20,1993 COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a Waiver of Plat for 3160 Pilot Knob Road. The site is zoned R-1 (Single Family) and is located north of Jurdy Road, east along Pilot Knob Road. BACKGROUND: In May 1993, the applicant received approval for a Preliminary Plat by the City Council; however, the Dakota County Plat Commission denied the application, a Variance request, and an appeal by the City for the following reasons: 1) The existing access does not meet'current Dakota County spacing guidelines; and, 2) The proposed plat did not meet the County's right-of-way guidelines of 75' half right-of-way. LOCATION & EXISTING CONDITIONS: The existing parcel is located east along Pilot Knob Road, westof Donnywood Addition (North Jurdy Court), north of Jurdy Road and south of Quarry Lane. The surrounding zoning districts are R-1 (Single Family) on the north and east; A (Agriculture) on the south, and RD (Research and Development) west across Pilot Knob Road. The current Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan designates this parcel as D-II Mixed Residential (0-6 units/acre). The proposed Waiver of Plat complies with this designation. COMMENTS: The applicant currently resides on the proposed Lot 1, Block 1. The existing house and garage were built on the north side of the existing parcel, allowing for the potential development of the south half of the lot. The Waiver of Plat shows two lots; Lot i is approximately 18,520 sq. ft. and Lot 2 is approximately 18,451 sq. ft. Both lots exceed the minimum lot width of 85. The existing house and accessory buildings meet, or exceed, all setback requirements. Access to both lots is from separate existing driveways on Pilot Knob Road. An existing Maple tree remains near the north property line of Lot 2, Block 1. Careful grading for the proposed house and driveway could save the tree. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: No grading will be required on the proposed north lot where the existing house is located. Grading for the proposed house on the south lot will require 2' of fill to be placed in the front yard. This will allow the front yard to drain out to Pilot Knob Road. A minimal amount of grading will be required in the backyard of the south lot. The drainage in the backyard area will drain in a southeasterly direction out to Jurdy Road. WATER QUALITY: Staff will recommend that this development be subject to a cash water quality dedication.. The amount of the dedication will be based on the area of the .undeveloped lot only and is estimated at $360. There are no wetlands on the proposed development parcel. These recommendations are subject to approval by the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth is readily available in the backyard area of the north lot. The existing 9" sanitary sewer line flows from Quarry Lane through this backyard area to North Jurdy Court. As shown on the preliminary utility plan, the proposed new house on the south lot will construct a sanitary sewer service line through the backyards of the two lots over to the existing 9" sanitary sewer line. Watermain of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is readily available to serve this development from an existing 16" watermain located on the west side of Pilot Knob Road. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: The preliminary development plan submitted with this application shows that the proposed house on the south lot will connect its driveway to an existing driveway opening on Pilot Knob Road. The existing house on the north lot has its driveway opening along the north edge of the lot out to Pilot Knob Road. This section of Pilot Knob Road was upgraded with concrete curb and gutter by the City and the County in 1980, and it was at this time that two driveways were provided for this site.. The Dakota County Plat Commission does not recommend approval of this plat. The County's spacing guidelines do not allow individual driveways connecting to Pilot Knob Road and the existing driveway was in place before the current guidelines were established. The driveway for the proposed house on the southerly lot shall include a turn-around as shown on the preliminary development plan. RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS/PERMITS: The development shall provide a sufficient utility easement for the proposed sanitary sewer service that will cross the east edge of the north lot to serve the south lot. This development shall be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA, MWCC, MnDept. of Health, Dakota County, etc.) are acquired prior to building permit issuance. The construction of the water service across Pilot Knob Road for the south lot will require a Dakota County Highway Department permit. Also, the developer shall obtain a driveway access permit from Dakota County to allow the south lot to connect its driveway to Pilot Knob Road prior to City authorization for recording of the proposed Waiver of Plat and issuance of a building permit. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - WAIVER OF PLAT 10-W-5-8-93 PARCEL ID# 10-01000-030-32 Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the uses proposed for the property, the foll owing 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 Storm Sewer Trunk S.F. .071/S.F. 20,471 S.F. 51.453 Total 45 There are no pending assessmentson this parcel Levied assessments are paid. WAIVER OF PLAT CONDITIONS FOR ROUNDS ADDITION 1. These standard conditions of plat approval as adopted by Council action on February 2, 1993 shall be complied with Al, Bi, Cl, C2, Dl, El, Fl, G1, and Hl 2. The existing maple tree near the north property line of Lot 2 shall be saved. 3. The proposed house on Lot 2 shall connect its water service to the existing 16" water main in Pilot Knob prior to building permit issuance and City authorization of recording the Waiver of Plat. 4. The developer shall provide. a private utility easement across the north lot for the proposed sanitary sewer service that will serve the south lot. 5. The developer shall obtain a driveway access permit from Dakota County to allow the south lot to connect its driveway to Pilot Knob Road prior to building permit issuance and City authorization of recording the Waiver of Plat. 6. The driveway for the proposed house construction on the southerly lot shall include a turn-around to alleviate the necessity for backing onto Pilot Knob Road.

EXISTING CONDITIONSIBACKGROUND: The site is located south of Thomas Lake Woods Addition, west of Thomas Lake Road, north of Thomas Lake Center, and east of Woodgate 1st Addition and is zoned PD-CSC (Planned Development-Community Shopping Center). All three proposed uses are permitted within a CSC zoning district. The Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment designates this area as CSC; the proposed uses are consistent with the Guide Plan. This site, as well as the Thomas Lake Center, was a cultivated field prior to its being platted as Safari At Eagan in 1981. At that time, the subject parcel was platted as Outlot A, Safari at Eagan. Subsequently, Thomas Lake Center and Yocum Oil (Texaco) Additions were platted. The existing vegetation on the rolling site has only been what has seeded naturally since 1981. In April 1988 Meritor Development Corporation rezoned 39 acres, abutting this property to the north (within the same Planned Development) from R-4 (Multiple), PF (Public Facilities), and R-3 (Townhouse) to R-3 and R-1 (Single Family). The Woodgate Additions abutting the west property line were platted in the early 70's. Hickory Lane is a dead-end road; during the platting of the Safari At Eagan Addition in 1980, there was minimal mention of Hickory Lane. Rather, discussion focused on the newly-created loop street, Thomas Center Drive. A 100' Williams Brothers Pipeline easement is located on the western portion of this site. No buildings can be constructed on this easement and it will be necessary to lower this pipeline with grading and proposed parking lot construction. t4A. Two ponds are located on-site, one in the southwest corner on Cliff Road (Pond BP-39) and another much larger wetland area in the northeast corner on Thomas Lake Road. The developer originally submitted plans to be reviewed at the August Advisory Planning Commission meeting; however, after the first neighborhood meeting he continued a month to reconcile concerns of neighbors. Plans were further revised based on City staff's and neighbors comments and were submitted for review at a second neighborhood meeting. After the second meeting, a new landscape architect was hired to prepare plans based on the comments from staff and neighbors. This plan was reviewed by a representative of the neighborhood. The following is an abbreviated list of the items which were agreed upon during the neighborhood meeting: ° . The parallel parking on the north property lines for both the theater and health club has been removed per staffs request. The theater and health club buildings have been shifted further to the south and the buildings have been lowered. A berm has been added to the northerly property line. ° More dense plantings have been added along the north and west property lines. A 6' cedar, non-climbable fence on the northwest property line must be added which will serve as a physical and noise barrier. ° The parking lot east of the health club has been lowered and retaining walls added and modified (terraced) to permit landscaping. ° The number of parking spaces has been reduced and moved further away from the residential area adding green space to the rear of the theater and health club buildings. ° The theater has been redesigned so the footprint is not as long against the north property line. COMMENTS: The proposed Preliminary Plat contains three lots. Lot I is 2.2 acres; Lot 2 is 6.6 acres; and Lot 3 is 4.1 acres. Access to these lots is from the existing Thomas Center Drive which is signalized at Cliff Road. Cross parking easements are being proposed for all three lots. The total amount of parking spaces provided is 838, the total amount required is 818. The parking plan utilizes angle parking with 10' stall widths, 20' one-way drive aisles, and 24' two-way drive aisle widths. All meet City requirements. LOT 1: Lot 1 contains an approximately 7,500 sq. ft. Class I restaurant with a total seating capacity of 242 seats requiring 81 parking stalls which have been provided for. Lot 1 is severely limited in building placement as the Williams Brothers Pipeline reduces the buildable area to less than half. The building meets all setback requirements. The building M? itself will be a single-story brick building with the main entrance facing west into its parking area. The proposed trash enclosure is attached to the building and constructed of the same building material. All heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment shall be screened so as not to be visible from Thomas Center Drive and Cliff Road. The west property line of the restaurant site has many mature trees. Landscaping has been increased, including a fence. The top building elevation is 959'; the fence top elevation ranges from 960' to 965' at the north property line of Lot 1. The applicant provided first and second story elevations for the existing units to the west; the fence is higher than all first level elevations. LOT 2: Lot 2 contains a six-screen movie theater with 1,577 seats and 502 parking spaces which is a 1:3.14 parking space requirement; City Code requires 1:3. The original plan had 568 parking spaces or 1:2.7 which exceeded the City requirement; however, staffs recommendation was to remove some of the proposed parking on the rear (north) side of these buildings near the townhomes. The brick and block building is situated in the northeast comer of Lot 2, again due to the 100` wide pipeline easement. Two access points have been provided for this lot-the southernmost access is shared with Lot 1 and does line up with the existing shopping center access point; the second access is shared with Lot 3 and is very close to lining up with the access point for the existing center. At this access point, the developer is showing an uninterrupted drive aisle to the theater and also to Lot 3. By providing this, parked cars will not be able to back into traffic and allows channelized traffic flow to the fronts of buildings for drop-off/pick-up. As proposed, the building and parking setback requirements are met. Staff recommended to the applicant that the buildings be shifted south allowing a greater separation between the existing townhomes to the north; the revised plans demonstrate an 85' building setback from the north line. The building has been modified from the original submission. Originally, the building was more rectangular shaped which has since been revised to a more square building, shortening the width of the building that would potentially be seen from the neighbors to the north. In addition, the building has been lowered to reduce impacts on surrounding properties. Trash/recycling will be located within the building. Rooftop mechanical equipment shall not be visible. A sidewalk shall be provided on the north (rear) side of the building for emergency exits. LOT 3: A health club, lifetime Fitness, has been proposed for Lot 3. The 65,000 sq. ft. building (43,000 sq. ft. footprint) provides 255 parking spaces; a ratio of one space for 255 sq. ft. There is no parking ratio designated in the City Code for health club facilities. Data counted by the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) indicates a ratio of four spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of building. This would require 260 spaces. The applicant has proposed 255 spaces, five below the ITE standard. The cross-parking easements will easily absorb those five spaces. The applicant has responded to neighborhood concerns about noise from the easterly parking area by not allowing parking in this area during evening hours. Access is provided from a shared access point with Lot 2 and another access point 325' east of the shared one. The 28' building is proposed to be constructed of a buff color brick with hunter green accents; a glass dome atrium highlights the entrance to the building. This facility will 1St. have limited membership and will be open 24 hours with peak times from 3:00-9:00 pm. Rooftop mechanical equipment shall be screened from view; trash and recycling shall be contained within the building. The landscape ordinance requires at least 5% landscaping for parking lots over 50 stalls. This has been required for all three lots. LANDSCAPING: The landscape/screening plan was prepared after receiving the input of the surrounding property owners at the neighborhood meetings. A large berm approximately 15' tallwill be constructed along the north property line; a 6' wooden fence is proposed at the top of that berm that will be maintained on both sides by the commercial properties. Heavy landscaping is also proposed with Sugar Maple, Amur Maple, Sumac, and White Pines varying in size from 6-12' tall located on both sides of the fence. This mixture of planting and the prairie mixture/wildflower ground cover will provide year-round screening, as well as color and interest. The same planting scheme is proposed along the west property line. The applicant has agreed to install the fence and perimeter landscaping after the initial grading and restoration. The fence is beneficial for safety purposes along the west property line where 8-14' retaining walls are proposed. Irrigation will be required in all turf grass areas. SIGNAGE: A revised overall signage plan has not been submitted; however, the developer has agreed to submit an overall plan. In addition, a lighting plan will be necessary to ensure lighting will not shine into the nearby existing homes. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The majority of this site will be graded to prepare the development for the buildings and parking lot. The preliminary grading plan submitted with this application shows maximum cuts of IT and maximum fills of 16'. The final grading plan shall protect the row of trees along the west edge of the site. The trees provide screening from the existing residential homes and the proposed commercial development. The preliminary grading plan shows that approximately 804' of the existing Williams Brothers Pipeline will need to be lowered. The developer proposes to lower the pipeline to allow the parking lot construction to occur over the pipeline. Drainage from this site is proposed to be directed to two ponds. The first pond, Pond BP- 39 which is an existing pond located in the southwest corner of this site along Cliff Road, receives drainage from Cliff Road and the surrounding residential developments. The storm water runoff generated from the proposed restaurant located on Lot 1 shall be directed to Pond BP-39. The final grading plan shall provide a pond storage volume of 5.3 acre-feet for Pond BP-39. A storm water runoff from Lots 2 and 3 shall be directed to a new pond which is an existing wetland along the east edge of this site. The pond, which is Pond BP- 13.1, shall provide a pond, storage volume of 2.4 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 3 cfs. The development will be responsible for providing and maintaining erosion control measures in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Standards. The preliminary grading plan shows three sets of retaining walls. The retaining wall along the west edge of the site or along Hickory Lane is shown to be 12' high. The retaining wall along the east edge of the site or along Pond BP-13.1 is shown to be a maximum of 14' high. The proposed retaining wall along the south edge of the proposed restaurant on Lot 1 is shown to have a maximum height of 8. The final grading plan shall include detailed plans and specifications covering the construction of the proposed retaining walls. WATER QUALITY AND WETLANDS: This proposed development is located just west of Thomas Lake in Drainage Basin B. The development of Lots 2 & 3 will generate runoff that will discharge to a new pond (Pond BP-13.1) that will outlet to an existing storm sewer along Thomas Lake Road. The existing storm sewer line receiving the discharge bypasses Thomas Lake and will eventually enter Blackhawk Lake, one of six Class 1 direct contact recreation lakes identified in the City's water quality management plan. Because of the large size of this development, the high amount of impervious surface proposed, and the importance of the nearest downstream recreational lake, staff will recommend that the developer meet water quality treatment requirements through on-site ponding. A two-cell treatment pond meeting NURP design standards will be recommended for Pond BP-13.1- Ile wet pond volume required for this pond system will be approximately 4.7 acre-feet. Staff will also recommend that the impervious coverage of the site not exceed 75%. %'S3 The developer's consultant has identified and delineated the only wetland on the site. The developer proposes to use the wetland for stormwater treatment and will install an outlet for the pond at an elevation that will at least maintain the current wetland area. No filling or draining of the wetland will be necessary, so no further analysis is required. These recommendations are subject to the approval of the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, depth and capacity is readily available to serve this site from Thomas Center Drive. The sanitary sewer service to each lot shall include a manhole at the property line to allow the City to inspect and maintain that service line. Water main service of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is readily available in Thomas Center Drive and Hickory Lane. The preliminary utility plan shows looping a line from the 6" water main stub in Hickory Lane through Lots 2 & 3 and connecting to the existing 6" water main stubbed out of Thomas Center Drive. The existing l k" copper water service lines and the 6" sewer service lines that will not be utilized by this development but are stubbed to this site from Thomas Center Drive shall be capped and abandoned according to City standards. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Street access is readily available to serve this site from Thomas Center Drive which is a looping street from Cliff Road to Thomas Lake Road. Thomas Center Drive has a traffic control signal at its intersection with Cliff Road. The site plan shall be revised to show a minimum of 24' wide drive aisles for 2-way traffic. The proposed parking lot shall include concrete curb and gutter along the islands rather than striped islands to delineate the traffic patterns. City staff recommends that the driveway opening for the restaurant on Lot 1 shall be provided opposite the existing driveway which serves the shopping center located 220' north of the north right-of-way line of Cliff Road. Providing access to Lot 1 in this location eliminates the need for a drive aisle along the south and east sides of the proposed restaurant. The preliminary site plan shows two other driveway connections to Thomas Center Drive to serve the proposed development on Lots 2 and 3. EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS: The final plat shall provide a drainage and utility easement over Pond BP 39 and Pond BP-13.1 up to 3' above the high water level of the ponds. The development will be responsible for obtaining permits from all regulatory agencies (MPCA, MWCC, MnDept. of Health, Dakota County Highway Department, Williams Bros. Pipeline Company, etc.) prior to final plat approval. The developer has begun negotiations with Williams Bros. Pipeline Company to see if the pipeline can be lowered. ASLN.
