The tour will visit Thomas Lake to help understand possible impacts and stimulate discussion relative to the relocation of Easter Lutheran Church to the property that boarders on Cliff and Pilot Knob Road. The Church has an opportunity to develop the property, but face water quality issues. For only the second time in fourteen years, I will be missing a regular Commission meeting. Dorothy and John will be representing the department for those issues that are appropriate to each of them while I take a vacation (finally!!). Following Department Happenings and the Consent Agenda, there are several development proposals for review: Returning to the Advisory Commission is the Galaxie Cliff Plaza Third Addition. A sub-committee meeting was held on Wednesday, October 5th, to discuss possible revisions to this plan In order to reduce the amount of tree loss. Also discussed were additional mitigation measures that might be performed through additional tree planting. The Advisory Commission should review with the sub committee possible revisions and make recommendations to the City Council. This item will be appearing on the October 25th Advisory Planning Commission agenda. Separate reports in a new format are included in the packet on each development item. OLD BUSINESS At the workshop on October 4th, there was also a review of the issue having to do with Mosquito Control. Staff members from the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District were at the sub committee meeting to respond to questions concerning the use of agents to combat mosquitos and mosquito larva and the impacts and success the treatments have had. Staff has asked one of the representatives to be at the Commission meeting on October 17th to respond to any additional questions that may be asked. The Commission is asked to make a recommendation to the City Council relative to the success and the continuation of mosquito control in Eagan and the impacts on Eagan parks. NEW BUSINESS There is a single item under New Business; Easter Lutheran Church. The church is currently reviewing the possibility of developing the property on the corner of Cliff and Pilot Knob Road. Runoff from this development would go to Thomas Lake which is one of the City's Class 1 water bodies. The church is hoping to explore options as to ways to control storm water runoff that have minimal impact on the lake, given that the site is small for the church's expansion ideas. Rich Brasch will make a verbal presentation on this item. Page -2- PARKS DEVELOPMENT Staff has set Wednesday, October 26, at 7:00 PM to meet with residents regarding the Walden Heights Park review process. C.J. Lilly has nearly completed the data collection phase In the area surrounding the park. The meeting with the residents on the 26th will be to review that information and gain resident input concerning their vision of the park. Staff will also update the Advisory Commission on relevant park development activities. WATER RESOURCES Rich Brasch, Water Resource Coordinator, will update the Advisory Commission on neighborhood water quality ponding assistance and provide information on the approval of the City Council to move ahead with design work for various water quality projects. The November meeting of the Advisory Commission will resume its non-summer agenda by meeting at 7:00 PM. It is also likely that one or two of the sub committees will meet prior to the 7:00 PM start to discuss various issues relative to the parks system. On the November agenda, staff will be reviewing park dedication requirements for 1995 and a tentative parks development project list for next year. As always, if members of the Advisory Commission are unable to attend, notification to the clerical staff would be appreciated. Have a good meeting; I look forward to our November get-togetherlll Respectfully submitted, c 17~ Ken Vraa Director of Parks & Recreation KV/Ik COMMlSSIOAUCO VER.OCT PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS 1. Staff has been preparing for participation at the National Recreation and Park Association Congress in Minneapolis on several fronts. Recreation staff will work an information booth; staff will host an on-site at the Caponi Art Park and John VonDeLinde will be a presenter. In between volunteer assignments, it is hoped that numerous educational sessions will be attended. 2. Dakota Civic Theatre will use the Sky Hill Park shelter building for rehearsal of a 3 person play during the month of October. The group is currently experiencing audiences of 100-150 people for its run of Chorus Line at the Rosemount Community Center. 3. NYSCA coaches clinics were conducted for EAA basketball and Rosemount Area Hockey Association ice ringette. Thirty-two coaches were certified. 4. Black Hawk and Dakota Hills Middle Schools use of City athletic facilities will end on October 27. Subject to the weather, physical education activity at Northview Park will continue until November 3. 5. • « The Department is collaborating with ISD 196 schools: Glacier Hills and Oakridge Elementaries, Black Hawk and Dakota Hills Middle Schools and Eagan High School in a grant application for Prevention and Intervention Funding through Minnesota Planning. Youth at Risk are the target population. The City's Youth Development programs would benefit from successful funding. 6. The United States Tennis Association has awarded a grant to Myndi Cohee, the Department's Tennis Director, to attend a Recreational Tennis Leadership Workshop in Los Angeles in November. The USTA grant coupled with the Department's previous tennis grant will cover all expenses for Myndi. 7. Planning for winter recreation programs will commence this week. 8. The Tiny Tots took their annual fall trip to Appleside Orchard on October 11 and 12. Parent volunteers help with this trip, which is a great experience for the children. Actually, riding the school bus is the number one attraction for the 3, 4 and 5 year olds! 9. Thirty-seven senior citizens took the 55/Alive safe driving class. 10. The baby sitting/latch key clinic is again full at 30 students. 11. • « The school's out parties are again popular activities. The programs are held during the teachers convention school breaks. 12. The Department helped to coordinate a 5K "run" for the Y. The event began at Thomas Lake Park and utilized trails for the run to avoid crossing major streets. 13. • « The search has begun for approximately 35 staff to work this winter supervising the tubing hill and eleven ice skating sites. Interviews occur in November and early December. Plans are for the season to begin around December 4, weather permitting. 14. Eight men's touch football teams are playing Wednesday nights at Goat Hill Park. The season concluded in October. This year, Eagan hosts the State Touch Football Tournaments for the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association on October 29 and 30. 15. The Eagan Jaycees and Eagan Parks & Recreation are co-sponsoring the Terror Trail and Treat Trail on Friday, October 28. This year both events will be at Northview Athletic P ark. Parking was a problem at Thomas Lake Park and should be much better at Northview. Volunteers are still needed to staff the trails. A planning meeting for volunteers will be conducted Tuesday, October 18, at 6:00 PM in the Northview Athletic parking lot. 16. Fall softball concluded October 4. Seventy-two teams participated in leagues held Sunday through Wednesday evenings. Nine teams went on to the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association Fall State Softball Tournaments. -1 - Department Happenings Page -2- 17. • « Twenty-five adult basketball teams are playing in four different leagues. New this year is a fall season and winter season. In the past, we sponsored one season from November to March. With the new gym at Black Hawk Middle School, we wanted to get in early to establish gym time and offer more opportunities for adult basketball. 18. • « The Evening With the Stars program was canceled twice due to cloudy weather. This happened last spring, also. Plans are to try again next spring. 19. The Fleet Feet Walking Club and Free Wheelers Bicycling Club meet monthly at the Municipal Center. Both clubs have dwindled to about six active members. Plans continue and the incentive program is still attractive. Next spring we will explore opening the clubs up to'south of the river" cities. 20. • « Staff coordinated the transplanting of 19 trees from City Hall expansion area to Holz Farm Park. A variety of deciduous trees were installed there as part of the park's initial landscaping around the parking lot and recreation areas. A landscape planning was also designed and installed around the park entrance sign by staff. This planting consisted of conifer (spruce) trees and coniferous and deciduous shrubs, most of which were also transplanted from City Hall. 21. Staff has installed landscaping along the west boundary of Lexington/Diffley Park to serve as a visual and noise barrier for residents located next to the park. Thirty (30) spruce trees and a number of smaller deciduous trees were planted. 22. The educational oak wilt video which is being developed by staff is nearing completion. The video will include both the history/biology of oak wilt disease and prescribed management steps to control the disease. The video is scheduled to be completed and available for use early this winter. 23. • « Landscaping at the Blackhawk Park playground area continues and will be completed following the completion of the playground installation. Remaining plant material to be installed includes both deciduous trees and shrubs. 24. • « Installation of the Blackhawk Park play structure continues to be atop priority, as maintenance staff, company representatives, and Rotary volunteers work around the rainy weatherto complete this structure. 25. • « Twin Cities Tree Trust has begun work on the retaining wall for the play structure at the north end of Burr Oaks Parks. 26. • « The final (we think!) softball game for the 1994 season has been played. The remaining seasonal ballfield/park attendants are working on cleaning up the athletic sites and buildings and closing the facilities down for the winter. 27. The early fall fertilization has been completed, thanks to the work of Park Maintenances Workers Steve Hadden and Alex Lammers. 28. • « The fall turf aerification program has been substantially completed, with only irrigated sites remaining. 29. • « The mowing season is winding down. As many of our seasonal staff return to school, full-time personnel have been assigned mowing duties. It is anticipated that mowing for 1994 will close by late October. 30. The Sentencing to Service Program completed the staining of all hockey rinks in late September/early October. The area will be back for several more weekend projects this fall. 31. On October 7th, Wayne Sames from the State Outdoor Recreation Grants Program toured several open space sites with Superintendent VonDeLinde. The DNR expects to open a new 'natural resources" grant program in 1995 for which many of the sites may be eligible. 32. • « Students from the U of M College of Natural Resources have begun a site analysis project on 19 of the priority open space sites identified in the Natural Resources chapter of the new Parks System Plan. Their work should be available for Commission review by the November meeting. Department Happenings Page -3- 33. Jeff Perry has been hired as the Department's new Parks Maintenance/Forestry Technician. We welcome Jeff to our full-time staff. For the past two years, Jeff has been employed as the city's seasonal Tree Inspector. •October 17, 1994 Commission Meeting • October 18, 1994 Council Meeting CommissionMAPPEN.00 V TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION, AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION RE: RECOMMENDATION FOR MODIFICATION OF POND JP-14 DATE: OCTOBER 10, 1994 Background Pond JP-14 is located in the Fish Lake drainage between the Great Oaks Addition and the Woodlands 4th Addition in east central Eagan (Figure 1). The pond is classified as a nutrient trap in the Eagan Water Quality Management Plan. Pond JP-14 discharges directly to Pond JP-31, a pond in Mueller Farm Park classified for wildlife habitat purposes. Eventually, these discharges also reach Fish Lake. Staff have identified an increase in effective wet pond volume as a potential mitigation measure for both the Woodlands 4th Addition and the Verdant Acres Addition. The majority of these developments drain to this pond, and Commission members will recall that water quality cash dedications were recommended for both when the developments were reviewed by the staff and Commission. At that time, staff made a commitment to assess the feasibility of increasing wet pond volume in JP-14 as a potential "on-the-ground" mitigation measure. The City's engineering consultant has prepared a report that identifies several options to increase the pollutant removal efficiency of JP-14. The most cost-effective option is to raise the normal water level of the pond by 2 feet and modify the outlet of the pond to withdraw water from the top of the pond rather than near the bottom. The estimated cost for this work is $11,750. The major constraint to raising the pond level is the existence of a Williams Pipeline along the south shore of the pond which could be affected by a higher pond level (Figure 2). Thus, staff are currently working with representatives of the Williams Pipeline Company to define an acceptable magnitude of raise in the normal water elevation. Even if no raise is acceptable, some increase in effective wet pond volume can be achieved simply by modifying the outlet works (estimated cost of $6,800). It is important to note that the City Forester has reviewed the impacts to trees adjacent to the pond and concludes that raising of the water level by up to two feet would not adversely impact the surrounding woodlands. Commission Action Requested Staff requests that the Commission recommend to the City Council that they approve the preparation of detailed plans and specifications, pending agreement with Williams Pipeline Company on the acceptability of raising the normal water level of Pond JP-14 by up to 2 feet. 11 Rich Brasch Water Resources Coordinator A. ~ s s EST O K c ta 10 F24- o 13.1 % t2 Vii G .

Planning Report - Galaxie Cliff Plaza Third Addition October 25, 1994 Page 3 BACKGROUND/HISTORY The Galaxie Cliff Planned Development and the subdivision of Galaxie Cliff Plaza Addition were approved in 1988. The term of the Planned Development was five years. In that time the Burnett and Park Nicollet Buildings have been constructed. The Planned Development agreement lists LB uses as permitted within the Planned Development. This item was heard at the September Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission where it was continued because the development was not meeting the Tree Preservation Guidelines and there was concern about how the water quality would be handled. The issue was that the development would be occuring on a platted outlot where a large stand of Bur Oak trees are located and the fact that a vacant outlot adjoing this property with virtually no trees is available for development also. The Commission decided to allow the Natural Resources Subcommittee more closely study the concerns of the full Commission. On October 5, 1994, the Subcommittee reviewed the development plans would exceed the allowable tree removal, discussed possible alternatives (i.e. purchasing the entire 3.07 acres or provide mitigation) and determined it would be necessary for the Commission to make a recommendation that either the developer purchase the entire site (both lots) and plat it into one lot for his use or recommend the required mitigation. Dr. Mittelsteadt informed the subcommittee that purchasing the entire site would not be financially feasible. The devleoper is willing to develop a plan with the City to provide the required mitigation as outlined in the Tree Preservation Guidelines. EXISTING CONDITIONS Outlot A is heavily wooded with young Bur Oak trees located in the north and east portion of the lot. Due to prior grading, Outlot B and a portion of Outlot A have been left with an artificially high mound covered in grasses. COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING AREA Locating a dental office near the corner of Galaxie Road and Cliff Road will be complementary to the surrounding uses; especially utilizing the prairie school style of architecture. This development will ease the transition between the commercial (flat roofed, multi-story building, etc...) and the residential neighborhoods in the area. SURROUNDING USE The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Cliff Road, Blackhawk Park and Ride; zoned A ; designated PF. South - vacant, pond AP-14; zoned PD-LB; designated LB. Southwest Burnett Realty Building, Park Nicollet Medical Clinic, zoned PD-LB; designated LB. East - vacant and Galaxie Hill Oaks Addition; zoned Ag and R-1; designated D-1. West - I- 35E & Rahn Cliff Plaza; zoned PD; designated RB. /3. Planning Report - Galaxie Cliff Plaza Third Addition October 25, 1994 Page 4 EVALUATION OF REQUEST A. Introduction. Dr. John Mittelsteadt is requesting to develop his dental office on Lot 1, Block 1, Galaxie Cliff Third Addition. For the past seven years Dr. Mittelsteadt has been practicing at 4555 Erin Drive in Eagan. B. Preliminary Plat. IDI& Lot 1 is proposed to be 1.78 acres and Lot 2 is proposed to be 1.29 acres. Easements. The final plat will be required to dedicate a drainage and utility easement over wetland area A to protect that area from being filled in. C. Final Planned Development /Site Plan. Setbacks. All parking and building setbacks meet Code requirements. Building JArchitecture The single story, brick building was designed to blend into the residential character of the neighborhood. To achieve this, the architect used a prairie school style of architecture. The building has been designed with a hip roof, instead of using a flat roof. Hip and gable roofs match the style of architecture used in the surrounding residential neighborhood. In addition to the large overhangs the canopy has been extended in the front of the building to enhance characteristics more commonly associated with a residential dwelling. Another feature of the building are operable windows rather than fixed windows. The building materials are a combination of tan/rose color brick and stucco. Landscaping The landscape plan as submitted is acceptable. The proposed plant material is a combination of oak, basswood, river birch, and black hills spruce. The building will be landscaped with red twig dogwood, junipers, two different types of spirea, and crabapple trees. Landscaping has been incorporated into the parking areas to serve as visual screening. Tree Preservation The intent of the tree preservation guidelines to protect, preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the City. The guidelines also define specific mitigation measures in cases where the development is unable to meet the initial allowable removal, provided that all trees removed in excess of the allowable removal are replaced in accordance with the Tree Replacement Schedule. Existing significant vegetation on this site includes 41 trees and 9,600 square feet of woodlands. Significant tree species are 8" to 24" bur and red oak, 12" to 13" ash, 12" willows, 12"-14" cottonwood. The significant woodland is comprised of cottonwood, willows, and aspens ranging in size from 4" to 10". A portion of this lot appears to have been excavated in the past, particularly around the west and south edges of the significant oak woodland. ~4 Planning Report - Galaxie Cliff Plaza Third Addition October 25, 1994 Page 5 Development, as proposed, would result in the removal of 32 significant trees (78% of the total) and in 5,600 square feet of significant woodland (58% of the total). Mitigation required for the tree removal would require 23 category A trees or, 46 category B trees or, 92 category C trees. Woodland mitigation would require 11 Category B trees. These replacement requirements are in addition to the landscape requirements. Replacement trees, if necessary, should be located to the north and west (may include planting on MnDOT property) portion of the site on a berm, closely planted, to achieve more of a natural woodland effect. Aspens, oaks, birch, spruce, amur maple, and sumac are examples of the types of plant material which would assist in creating this natural effect. Grading/Wetland s - This development involves the grading of Lot 1 and a portion of Lot 2 to prepare the site for the construction of the dental clinic on Lot 1. The maximum cut shown is 9 feet and the maximum fill shown is 4 feet. Two wetlands are located on the site. Wetland basin A is 5,650 s.f. and lies along the eastern boundary of the site. Wetland basin B is located in the southwest portion of the development and is 530 s.f. The current proposal specifies filling Wetland basin B. There are no provisions that would exempt the developer from filling this wetland. Staff recommends that Wetland basin A be expanded by a 2:1 ratio to mitigate filling of Wetland B. The mitigation shall be done in accordance with the WCA. The proposed mitigation area for creating a new wetland should be created in an area that is not already wooded. Erosion control measures will be required with this development to protect erosion from occurring onto the adjacent property or street and into the wetland that is to be saved in the northeast corner of this site. Storm drainage f water quali - The proposed development is located in drainage basin A. Runoff generated from the proposed parcel will be discharged off-site to Pond AP-14, a designated sediment basin in the Eagan Water Quality Management Plan. Discharges from Pond AP-14 will in turn travel through two more sediment basins before reaching the nearest downstream recreational water body, Cliff Lake (Pond AP-11). Cliff Lake is classified as an indirect contact recreation water body. The small size of this development proposal and the large number of designated treatment basins between it and the nearest downstream water body suggest that a cash dedication for water quality is more appropriate than on-site ponding. However, the developer wishes to discharge raw stormwater from the site into an existing 5,650 square foot wetland along the east edge of the site. Staff is recommending that rooftop drainage only be permitted to drain into this wetland. Planning Report - Galaxie Cliff Plaza Third Addition October 25, 1994 Page 6 The estimated wet volume (.29 acre-feet) and mean depth (2.2 feet) of standing water in the wetland would make it a sub-standard pond but would provide recharge water for the wetland. In return, the developer maintains that the City should not require a cash dedication for water quality, since Wetland Basin A is being converted to an on-site ponding area. The developer shall drain the parking lot to the existing storm sewer system in Plaza Drive. The preliminary drainage plan shows that an outlet will be provided to drain wetland A at the normal water level of the wetland. The outlet will drain southerly to connect to an existing 12 inch storm sewer stub that was provided from Plaza Drive. The 12 inch storm sewer stub has an invert elevation of 952 so the normal water level of the wetland will need to be raised to about elevation 953. The proposed parking lot that will serve Lot 1 is also shown to drain to the 12 inch storm sewer line in Plaza Drive. It appears that the 12 inch storm sewer in Plaza Drive has enough capacity to handle the outlet for Wetland A plus the proposed parking lot on Lot 1. Sanitary Sewer - An 8 inch sanitary sewer of sufficient size, depth and capacity has been stubbed to Lot 1 from Plaza Drive along the south edge of the site. Also, a 6 inch sanitary sewer stub has been provided to Lot 2 from Plaza Drive. The developer is proposing to connect to the 8 inch sanitary sewer stub in Plaza Drive to serve the proposed dental clinic on Lot 1. Watermain - An 8 inch watermain has been stubbed to this site from Plaza Drive. The 8 inch watermain has sufficient pressure, size and capacity to serve the development of Lot 1. Lot 2 has an existing 6 inch watermain stubbed to it toallow the future development of the Lot 2 connect to it. There is an existing hydrant located on Plaza Drive just east of the proposed driveway that will serve Lot 1. The existing hydrant will provide adequate fire protection to this development. Access/Circulation /Street Design - The developer is proposing to provide a new driveway opening to Plaza Drive to serve the development on Lot 1. The development of Lot 2 will not be allowed to have another driveway connection to Plaza Drive. The development on Lot 2 will need to obtain crossparking easements that will allow the access to occur from the proposed driveway connection that will serve Lot 1 or from the existing driveway opening that serves the existing Burnett Realty building. The developer has prepared a preliminary site plan layout that shows how the parking lot would be connected when Lot 2 is developed. When developed, the parking lot for Lot 2 will connect to the existing Burnett Realty parking lot that is along the west edge of Lot 2. The development of Lot 2 will be required to remove the existing bituminous curb along the easterly edge of the existing Burnett Realty development.

Lentsch Jr. PREPARED BY: Mike Ridley REQUEST: Rezoning, Preliminary Subdivision (Lentschs Deerwood Pointe) LOCATION: NE 1/4 Section 21 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: D-II, Multiple Residential (0-6 units/acre) ZONING: Agricultural, (A) SUMMARY OF REQUEST Signature Properties is requesting approval of a Rezoning from A to R-1, Single Family and Preliminary Subdivision consisting of 3 lots on 1.72 acres for parcel PID# 10-02100-030-03 which is located north of Deerwood Drive and west of Pilot Knob Road at 1475 Deerwood Drive. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 13, Section 13.20, Subd. 6. states: In the case of subdivision, the Planning Commission and the Council shall be guided by criteria, including the following, in approving, denying or establishing conditions related thereto: A. That the proposed subdivision does comply with applicable City Code provisions and the Comprehensive Guide Plan. B. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision complies with applicable plans of Dakota County, State of Minnesota, or the Metropolitan Council. C. That the physical characteristics of the site including, but not limited to, topography, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, water storage, and retention are such that the site is suitable for the type of development or use contemplated. D. That the site physically is suitable for the proposed density of development. E. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause environmental damage. Planning Report - Deerwood Pointe October 25, 1994 Page 2 F. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause health problems. G. That the design of the subdivision or the improvements will not conflict with easements of record or with easements established by judgement of court. H. That completion of the proposed development of the subdivision can be completed in a timely manner so as not to cause an economic burden upon the City for maintenance, repayment of bonds or similar burden. 1. That the subdivision has been properly planned for possible solar energy system use within the subdivision or as it relates to adjacent property. (Refer to City Handbook on Solar Access). J. That the design of public improvements for the subdivision is compatible and consistent with the platting or approved preliminary plat on adjacent lands. K. That the subdivision is in compliance with those standards set forth in that certain document entitled "City of Eagan Water Quality Management Plan for the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Organization" which document is properly approved and filed with the office of the City Clerk hereinafter referred to as the "Water Quality Management Plan". Said document and all of the notations, references and other information contained therein shall have the same force and effect as if fully set down herein and is hereby made a part of this Chapter by reference and incorporated herein as fully as if set forth herein at length. It shall be the responsibility of the City Clerk to maintain the Water Quality Management Plan and make the same available to the public. BACKGROUND/HISTORY There have been no previous development proposals for this property. The site had contained a single family home (George Dougherty) that was demolished within the last year. Except for the south side of the property, the entire parcel is surrounded by the Sherwood Downs development, which was subdivided in 1990. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site contains 28 significant trees and two woodland masses. The southeast comer of the site is the high point, from there the land falls a few feet to the north and approximately 24' to the west. There is an existing gravel driveway from Clippers Road that had served the old house. fib, Planning Report - Deerwood Pointe October 25, 1994 Page 3 SURROUNDING USES The following uses, zoning and comprehensive plan designations surround the subject property: North - Sherwood Downs; zoned and guided Single Family South - Engstrom's Deerwood Addition; zoned and guided Single Family East - Sherwood Downs; zoned and guided Single Family West - Sherwood Downs; zoned and guided Single Family EVALUATION OF REQUEST A. Rezoning The proposed rezoning to R-1 and the maximum density of 3.6 units/acre allowed in that zone fall within the density allowed by the Comprehensive Guide Plan designation of D-II, Multiple Residential 0-6 units/acre. All of the property surrounding the subject site has developed as single family residential and the majority of this property is also guided D-II. B. Preliminary Subdivision Compatibility with SurroundingAArea - The proposed subdivision is an in-fill development that will complete a residential area with 3 single family lots that will be consistent and compatible with this specific area and the general vicinity as well. Density - The proposed subdivision results in a density of 1.74 units/acre, which falls within the maximum allowed R-1 zoning density of 3.6 units/acre. L= - The lots all exceed the 12,000 s.f. minimum lot size requirement of the R-1 zoning district; however, the applicant is proposing a variance to the 85' minimum lot width at building setback for Lot 2, Block 1. Primarily due to difficult grades, the lots have been configured in a way that results in Lot 2 having a width of 48' at the 40' building setback. This variance will not have a discernable impact on the development because each house pad will have a minimum setback of 70' from Deerwood Drive. The proposed lots vary in size from 18,830 - 23,170 s.f. Setb&qb - The lots proposed are large enough to meet all standard R-1 setback requirements. 41. Planning Report - Deerwood Pointe October 25, 1994 Page 4 Access - The applicant is proposing to provide access to each of the three lots via a private drive from Clippers Road. Direct access to Deerwood Drive is not proposed and should not be allowed. The developer originally proposed a 16' wide drive and staff requested the plan be revised to widen the drive to 20'. The developer revised the plan showing an 18' wide private drive. The Eagan Fire Marshal has met with staff and the developer and it has been determined that a 20' minimum width is necessary to provide adequate access to each lot for emergency vehicles. The developer should revise these plans to incorporate a 20' wide private drive. The City Code provides that private drives serving 4 or less units can be served by a 12' arinimum width private drive; however, staff has interpreted the intent of this provision to apply to multi-family developments where smaller width private drives extend a short distance from a standard width street to serve a 4 or less unit cluster. The private drive proposed by the applicant extends 280' from Clippers Drive to the east. The developer should provide a private ingress/egress easement (that includes the City as a third party beneficiary) over the private drive. This easement should be submitted for review by the City Attorney's office and recorded with the subdivision. GradingMtlands - The Grading Plan submitted is acceptable. House pad preparation will result in cuts that range from 3' - 10'. These cuts, utility work, and private drive construction result in the majority of the site being disturbed. The developer should be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards. There are no jurisdictional wetlands on this site. The developer should also be required to locate and abandon all septic systems and wells according to Dakota County and City requirements. Tree Preservation - The Tree Preservation Plan submitted is not acceptable. The developers anticipated tree loss does not appear accurate. The plan does not delineate grading limits, tree protection measures, or significant woodlands. The developer should submit a revised Tree Preservation Plan to be reviewed and approved by staff prior to City Council action on this preliminary subdivision request. Par rails - This development is in Park Service Area 21. The City has not been looking for park land in this area nor does the City's Trail Plan reflect a trail connection to existing trails along Pilot Knob Road or Deerwood Drive. Therefore, a cash parks and trails dedication recommendation by the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resource Commission seems appropriate. 4a. Planning Report - Deerwood Pointe October 25, 1994 Page 5 Utilities - With minor modifications, the Utility Plan submitted is acceptable. All sanitary sewer service will be provided from an existing 8" sanitary sewer line in Clippers Road. Water service for Lots 1 & 2 will be provided from an existing 8" watermain in Clippers Road, while water service to Lot 3 will be provided from an existing 18" watermain in Deerwood Drive. The developer should provide a private easement over any services that cross lot lines within this development. Storm Drainage a Mater Quality - Storm drainage from this site will flow southwest, overland to two existing catch basins in Clippers Road and then is piped to Pond BP-29.2, a sediment basin located west of Clippers Road and north of Deerwood Drive, and then on to Blackhawk Lake. Pond BP-29.2 was constructed as part of the Sherwood Downs development to treat runoff from this area. Because site drainage flows to a sediment basin and the amount of runoff generated from this site post development will have little impact on high class water bodies downstream, staff is recommending a cash water quality dedication. Permits - The developer will be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA, Mn Dept. of Health, MWCC, Dakota County Highway Department, etc.) are obtained prior to final subdivision approval. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed zoning and subdivision are consistent with the Guide Plan designation and the land use will be compatible with that existing in the area. City services and access are available to serve the site. The proposed access via a private driveway is acceptable provided the private access easement and driveway are 20' wide. The Tree Preservation Plan lacks elements required by the Policy and the number of trees to be saved needs to be reviewed.

The buildable area of the site is restricted to the ridge line running in an east/west direction approximately in the center of the site. The three house pads are proposed to be constructed on this ridge line with the private drive paralleling Deerwood Drive. The common lot line for Lots 1 and 2 is required to be located as shown to allow the house pad for Lot 1 to be constructed on the ridge line. The remaining area of Lot 1 is unbuildable due to the 3:1 to 5:1 slopes. An attempt to locate the house pad for Lot 1 perpendicular to the private drive did not work due to the remaining steep slopes. The driveway for Lot 1 is located on the only other mild slope on the lot. The configuration of Lot 1 greatly impacts the frontage width of Lot 2, however, it does not impact the buildability and the desirability of Lot 2. Due to the restricted access onto Deerwood Drive, the frontage width has little meaning for this plat. Due to the need to locate the private driveway on gentler slopes than the 3:1 slopes paralleling Deerwood Drive, all of the house pads are setback a minimum of 70 feet. The house pad for Lot 2 will be setback approximately 105 feet from Deerwood Drive. The setback width for Lot 2 at this point is 85 feet. Due to the unique characteristics of the site, limited street access points and the deep house setbacks, a variance to the lot frontage width is requested. o The private driveway is proposed to have a width of 18 feet. City staff has requested a 20 foot width due to some concerns regarding fire truck access. The Subdivision Regulation Code (Chapter 13) requires a 12 foot wide private street serving four or fewer lots. The applicant originally proposed a 16 foot wide private street and is proposing a compromise of 18 feet, which greatly exceeds the minimum requirements according to the code. 556 E.

The Petition states that the Residents are unanimously and strongly opposed to any type of Multi-Family Dwelling Structure on the aforementioned property. In addition, we have serious concerns regarding the existence of hazardous waste deposits on the property and the possibility of soil contamination. Also, we have questions about the regulation and supervision of any hazardous waste removal and cleanup. We realize that the developer has not formally filed any plans with the Planning Department or approached your committee. Still, we are expressing our position early in this process to assist the developer and the Planning Commission in their decision-making approach.

The Pla ed Development Agreement was approved in June 6, 1985. This original Planned Develop ent Agreement had designated this as Area 2 - CSC Uses. Until recently Outlot G had re ained vacant, however the development of the Mann Movie Theaters (Town Centre 10 Twelfth Addition dated December 21, 1993) subdivided the outlot and left the remainin approximately 2.33 acres (remains part of Outlot G) for development. (Planned Develo ment Amendment dated December 13, 1993). A condition of th Planned Development Agreement was that the area where this proposed building is locat d (east half) could not develop until one year after the certificate of occupancy for M nn Theater was approved to examine the parking for Mann Theater. When this conditi n was created it was with the understanding that Federal Land Company would develop tw restaurants on the 2.33 acre site. Red Robin is developing the entire site north of the thea er. 61. Planning Report - Town Centre 100 Fifteenth Addition October 25, 1994 Page 4 Red Robin's original submission showed their building on the NW corner which, the Mann PD allowed develop at any time. However, as this development has progressed through the review process staff has recommended that the building be located to the east (see Final Planned Development/ Site Plan). Staff is recommending that due to the fact that the circumstances of development are more evident now than a year ago that condition #a in the Third Amendment to the Eagan Heights Commercial Park Planned Development be amended to permit the development of one 8,116 s.f. Red Robin Restaurant. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is located south of County Road #28 - Yankee Doodle Road, east of Yankee Place. A bituminous trail exists within the Dakota County right of way along the north boundary line. Pond DP-20 is located in the SE corner of the proposed lot. There is approximately 3,200 s.f. of significant woodland located on the north edge of this pond, mainly consisting of willow, box elder, and cottonwood trees. COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING AREA The entire area surrounding this property is designated to be developed as some kind of retail/commercial use. The use of a Class I restaurant is typical and consistent with the types of uses developed within a high intensity commercial district. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - vacant: zoned PD: guided CPD - Commercial Planned Development. South - Mann Movie Theaters; zoned PD; guided CPD. East - Blue Cross/Blue Shield; zoned PD; guided CPD. West - Metropolitan Financial Bank/Edina Realty; zoned PD; guided CPD. EVALUATION OF REQUEST A. Introduction. Red Robin Restaurant is proposing a 255 seat restaurant. This restaurant chain originated in the state of Washington and has been developing primarily in the Western states and Canada. B. Preliminary Plat. Lots. ,The proposed Lot 1, Block 1 is 2.32982 acres. Easements JRights of Way/Permits The existing southern half right of way for Yankee Doodle Road is dedicated as 60'. The plat will be dedicating an additional 15' of right of way for County Road #28 - Yankee Doodle Road. The plat should also reflect restricted access to Yankee Doodle Road. The final plat shall dedicate a drainage and utility easement over Pond DP-20 up to 3' above the HWL of this pond. ~a. Planning Report - Town Centre 100 Fifteenth Addition October 25, 1994 Page 5 C. Conditional Use Permit. The City Code requires a Conditional Use Permit for the sale of liquor, 3.2 beer and wine. In addition to the Conditional Use Permit, Red Robin will be required to obtain a license. D. Final Planned Development/Site Plan Introduction. When originally submitted the restaurant was located at the NW comer of the site of Yankee Doodle Road and Yankee Place. During site plan review it was discovered that the building could not meet setbacks and modification of the building location in that comer was not possible. Staff suggested to the developer that the building be moved to the east side of the property and where with some modifications it could meet setback requirements and take advantage of the pond as an amenity. The developer revised the plans to utilize an effective way to locate the building near the pond while meeting setbacks, and modify the restaurant to include patio seating which the City Council had discussed during the development of the Mann Theater. Setbacks. The proposed restaurant building meets all setback requirements. The proposed parking lot meets all minimum setback requirements. Parkin g The minimum required parking on the site is 85, the applicant is providing 120 (including 4 handicap stalls). The westerly most twenty four stalls along the north property line and 60 interior parking stalls are angular in design. One-way drive aisles, at 16' 8" will allow the site to be designed to accommodate its relative narrowness. The angular design of the parking lot was created to distinguish it from the Mann Theater parking lot design of all 90 degree angles. All of the non-handicapped parking stalls have been designed at a 9' width and the developer has requested a 1' variance to the minimum 10' width requirement for each parking stall provided. Building, jArchitecture The developer is proposing to construct a single story, brick, 8,116 s.f. building. The developer received specifications as of the colors being used by Mann Theater and have designed their colors to be similar. The building is proposed to be placed at the east end of the rectangular shaped lot. By positioning the building in this location the developer will be able to take advantage of Pond DP-20 by providing windows for interior seating and outdoor seating area on the rear of the building. The service area will be attached to the building and made of the same brick building material. i n The proposal includes a pylon sign to be located at the north west corner of the 0. Planning Report - Town Centre 100 Fifteenth Addition October 25, 1994 Page 6 site at the intersection of Yankee Doodle Road and Yankee Place. The general location is in conformance with the Town Centre Pylon Sign Agreement. The pylon, will be required to meet the 10' setback from all property lines. Santa Sewer. The proposed sanitary sewer plan is satisfactory. This development will be connecting to an 8" line located along Yankee Place which was stubbed when the theaters were constructed. The line will be privately maintained. Watermain. The restaurant will be served by an existing 18" line in Yankee Doodle Road. Because no stub was provided at the time of construction, the developer will be responsible for open cutting Yankee Doodle Road and connecting to the watermain. This will require a permit from the Dakota County Highway Department. Access/Street Design. Access to the site is from Yankee Place, through a shared access with the Mann Theater site. Permanent, non-exclusive ingress and egress easements were conveyed between MGC and Mann when Town Centre 100 Twelfth Addition was developed. No access is permitted on Yankee Doodle Road. When originally subdivided, this site had dedicated 60' half right of way. When Outlot G was further subdivided for the Mann Theater in 1994, the Council required that an additional 15' must be dedicated with the platting of this outlot. The proposed plat is dedicating the 15' of right of way. Dakota County Highway Department has reviewed this plat request and recommended the developer dedicate an additional 40' for a total of 100' half right of way. The proposed building and required parking will not fit on this site if the additional 25' of right of way is dedicated. The developer is requesting the City to approve their plan with a total half right of way of 75'. The owner will then negotiate with Dakota County when it comes time to record the plat. Landscaping The revised landscape plan is not acceptable. The plan submitted shows all ash trees in the parking area. Ash Yellow, a disease affecting ash trees, has occurred in Eagan. Staff is concerned that the root systems of the Ash trees will be so close that if one Ash tree is infected with the disease, all of the trees are likely to be at risk. Staff is suggesting using a mixture of trees including ornamental trees especially near the outdoor seating (between the building and the footpath). Additionally, the landscaping along Yankee Doodle Road should be revised to create a more cohesive plan tying in the existing landscaping theme to this lot. Both lots are developed east and west of the restaurant site. (0~ Planning Report - Town Centre 100 Fifteenth Addition October 25, 1994 Page 7 It will be necessary to incorporate wetland type grasses from the proposed path location to the Pond DP-20. This was done with the Mann Theater project and should be continued at this site. Also, the berm shown on the north property line should be located completely within the 20' landscaped area within the property boundary and not as it is currently shown extending into Dakota County's right of way. When Yankee Doodle Road is widened a portion of the berm will be removed. Tree Preservation. The only significant woodland on site is an approximately 4,900 s. f. area located along the north edge of Pond DP-20 at the southeast corner of the proposed lot. The development of the site will remove 100% of this woodland area. Thirty percent or 1,470 s.f. is the allowable amount of square footage which could be removed without replacement. The developer will be required to mitigate the 3,440 s.f. above the allowable removable. Twenty eight category "A" trees will be required for mitigation purposes.These mitigation trees are required over and above the normal landscaping requirements. Mitigation should occur at the north edge of Pond DP-20 to continue the replacement near the riparian zone around the pond's edge as the Mann Theater project will be doing. Locating the replacement trees at the ponds edge would help replace the lost vegetation which naturally occurred there. It will be necessary to locate wetland species trees at the ponds edge to promote their survival. Grading/ Wetlands. The proposed grading plan is acceptable. The majority of the site will be cut an average of 4' -5'. The area of the wetland associated with Pond DP-20 is 2.7 acres. Only a small portion of the wetland is located on this site. The development of the restaurant will result in the filling of approximately 330 s.f. of fringe wetland at the north side of pond DP-20. This is permitted under exemption 25 in the Wetland Conservation Act which allows up to 400 s.f. of filling. To meet water quality requirements an approved pond excavation plan must be submitted to and approved by the City's Water Quality Resources Manager. A minimum of 850 cubic yards will be required as pond excavation from Pond DP-20 and removed from the pond. Storm Drainage/Water Quality, This site is located within drainage basin D, Pond DP-20 is classified as a nutrient trap which discharges into O'Leary Lake, a Class II indirect contact lake. The site slopes toward pond DP-20. A new stormwater drainage system will capture the runoff from the site and discharge it into pond DP-20. Sidewalks /Trails The plans shall be revised to include a 6' concrete sidewalk along Yankee Place northward to Yankee Doodle Road which will be a continuance of the existing Mann Theater sidewalk. / Planning Report - Town Centre 100 Fifteenth Addition October 25, 1994 Page 8 The site plan does show a 6' trail around the pond and a north/.south trail located along the east property line, Blue Cross/Blue Shield has a parking lot located approximately 5' from the property line. Within that 5' area are trees that were planted as a part of the landscape requirements. It appears that the proposed trail location may be in conflict with the existing trees. These tree locations should be identified on the site plan. The evergreens located along this property line may have to be transplanted to another location and replaced with a deciduous tree which would not interfere with the trail. City standards for trails are a minimum of 8' and the elevation of the trail shall be above the HWL of Pond DP-20. The plan also shows a sidewalk around the front and side of the building. This sidewalk should be connected to the proposed footpath located at the north edge of the pond, allowing pedestrian traffic path access to the pond footpath. The proposed path on the north side of the pond should be constructed to a minimum width of 8'. Parks Dedication. This development has previously fulfilled their parks dedication requirements with the Eagan Heights Commercial Park Planned Development. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Preliminary Plat - Access and City services are available to serve the site and park dedication requirements have previously been satisfied. Final Planned Development - The site layout has taken into consideration the pond amenity by proposing to construct their building where they can provide a view to their customers, provides adequate parking, internal circulation and aesthetic elements associated with the Planned Development. Revisions to the site plan and landscape plan are minor and have been identified in the staff report and as conditions to the final planned development. Conditional Use Permit - The applicant will be required to satisfy all of the necessary license requirements (investigation etc...) and will record the conditional use permit with Dakota County. Variance - The site been designed with 9' stalls to enable more parking to be constructed and to match the Mann theater site.

NO. 8 WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CITY OF EAGAN MFsMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION & NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: JOHN K. VONDELINDE, SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS DATE: OCTOBER 12, 1994 SUBJECT: MOSQUITO CONTROL - NOTES FROM MEETING OF NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE On Wednesday, October 5th, the Natural Resources Subcommittee met to discuss the issue of mosquito control in the City of Eagan. Commission members at the meeting were Jonathan Widam, Steve Thompson and John Rudolph. Two representatives from the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District (District), Dave French - Manager of Dakota County Operations and Dr. Dan Dobberd - Senior Research Analyst, were invited to the meeting to provide information on District policies and practices, and to answer questions of the subcommittee. John VonDeLinde served as staff liaison at the meeting. The meeting was prompted by a request from the City Council, last spring, to have the Advisory Commission review and make a recommendation on the continued involvement of the District's mosquito program in the City of Eagan. A copy of the packet to the Natural Resources Subcommittee,which included Council Member Awada's research paper and minutes/reports from previous commission meetings, were distributed to all commission members on September 26th. For this reason, these items have not been duplicated in the October commission packet. However, new information, in the form of brochures, pamphlets, and reports from the District have been included in the pages which follow. A 10-minute video has also been provided by the District and will be previewed at the October Commission Meeting. For the benefit of the Commission, the following is a summary of some of the information that was provided by the MMCD staff at the Subcommittee meeting on October 5th: • The Mission of the District is to suppress mosquito and tick transmitted diseases and to reduce annoyance levels of mosquitoes and biting gnats. • The District's scope of responsibility has widened in recent years to include a Lyme Tick Surveillance Program and Biting Gnat (Black Fly) Program. • The District attempts to control, on a seasonal basis, the frequency of mosquito bites to a socially acceptable level, not to reduce the long-term population of the insect. • Control efforts are targeted at the 15 biting species of mosquitoes; 35 species are non- biting. • The District's emphasis is on the control of mosquito larvae, while they are in the water. • Larvae control involves the use of two types of biological control materials - a natural soil bacteria (called Bti) and a natural insect growth regulator (called methoprene). 1 • Most of the control measures in Dakota County (Eagan) involve use of metlolfrene "briquets" which are distributed in breeding areas in the spring. The briquets have an active life of 150 days which covers the majority of the breeding season. • All breeding area treatments in the Metro area use biological controls (over 60,000 areas total). Breeding site maps are updated every five years. • Larval control briquets are not applied to known fish breeding habitats. • A 1993 District study demonstrated that Altosid pellets (methoprene) reduced by 96% the number of cattail mosquitoes emerging from treated sites as compared to untreated sites. • Less that five percent (5%) of the control efforts in Eagan involve the spraying of adult mosquito habitat (adulticiding). These measures are focused on park and recreation areas and for civic events. In Eagan, only parks with vegetative undergrowth capable of harboring mosquitoes are sprayed (a list of these parks is included in the packet). • Materials used in adult control are parmethrin and resmethrin. These two synthetic products similar in chemical structure to pyrethrum, a natural botanical insecticide which is extracted from chrysanthemum flowers. • The District is shifting its adult spraying program from large truck mounted foggers to the smaller hand held foggers, which can better target harborage areas. • A 1993 "Park Study" conducted by the District showed that adult mosquito treatments in public parks significantly decreased the number of mosquitoes, as compared to untreated parks in the same area. • Initial analysis from a 1993 District Study showed that the number of mosquitoes trapped inside the District boundaries (metro area) was less than outside the boundaries (rural areas) for all but one of the species studied. • A LaCrosse Encephalitis Prevention Program was initiated by the District in 1987. High risk areas, which includes northern Dakota County, are targeted for intensive control efforts including public education and mosquito breeding site removal. No confirmed cases have been reported since 1989. • The District began a Black Fly (biting gnat) Program in 1984. Studies conducted between 1987 and 1989 showed that Bti is highly effective for black fly control and it had no major acute toxic impacts on non-target organisms. • In 1990, the District initiated a Lyme Disease Tick Surveillance Program to determine the range of the deer tick and Lyme disease. Two Lyme disease areas have been discovered in northern Dakota County. • An independent Scientific Peer Review Panel (SPRP) oversees the environmental research work of the MCDD. 2 gg. The SPRP has found no adverse environmental effects in five years of research on larval control materials. • District pesticides are approved by the following environmental groups: - Rachel Carson Foundation - Environmental Defense Fund - Coalition for Sensible Pesticide Use • A public opinion poll of 378 metropolitan area residents was conducted in 1993. A majority of respondents strongly agreed that the District provides an important service to the community. District staff will be available to provide additional details on the study at the October commission meeting. For Commission Action The Natural Resources Subcommittee is requesting that the full Commission make a recommendation relative to desired future role of the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District in implementing mosquito annoyance and disease transmittal controls in the City of Eagan. Among the alternatives which the Advisory Commission may wish to consider are the following: 1) To recommend that this issue be deferred to the Natural Resources Subcommittee for further review and recommendation. 2) To recommend that a specific change in the City's policy or position be made at this time in accordance with one or more of the policy alternatives contained in Council Member Awada's report. 3) To recommend that the MMCD program continue as is, and that no further study be mmitted to this issue at this time. i JohJY.

MMCD MOSQUITO CONTROL OVERVIEW The mission of the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District (MMCD) is to suppress mosquito and tick transmitted disease and to reduce annoyance levels of mosquitoes and biting gnats which interferes with outdoor activities. MMCD is a seven county governmental agency that include the counties of Anoka, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington, Scott and the . eastern half of Carver. Administratively, the District is managed by a Director and a Business Administrator. MMCD encompasses a number of programs, the largest being the floodwater Aedes mosquito control program. MMCD's regional program is directed at preventing mosquitoes from leaving the water by using two types of biological control materials that affect immature mosquitoes (larvae) in an environmentally compatible approach. A natural soil bacteria (Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis or Pt and an insect growth regulator (methoprene) are used in a dry, granulated or briquet form most often. The District's emphasis is on the control of mosquito larvae, while they are in the water. Breeding sites are mapped, sampled, and prioritized according to mosquito productivity. The most productive sites are targeted for treatment. Localized adult mosquito control is done to reduce mosquito annoyance and disease vector populations. Treatments are done in and around park and recreation areas and for public events upon request. Citizens can call the "Mosquito Control Information Line" at 643-8383 during the summer for a daily update of scheduled adult mosquito treatment locations in the District. Synthetic pyrethroid (permethrin and resmethrin) control materials are used that are similar to over-the-counter products used by veterinarians and pet owners in their treatment of animals for fleas and ticks and in humans for head lice. Synthetic pyrethroids are similar in chemical structure to pyrethrum, a natural botanical insecticide that is an extract of a chrysanthemum flower. over QJ. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER ® Printed an recycled paper containing of least 16% poel-consumer paper fibers The Quality Assurance Program measures effectiveness of the District's mosquito control operations as part of an ongoing commitment to providing a quality service to citizens in the metropolitan area. MMCD programs are subject to state and federal regulation and review, as well as annual review by an independent Technical Advisory Board (TAB). An annual report is presented to the TAB summarizing the previous year and plans for the coming year. Reports from the TAB (1981-1993) are available upon request. An independent Scientific Peer Review Panel (SPRP) directs contract research to assess potential adverse environmental impacts from larval mosquito control materials used by the District. No significant adverse environmental effects have been found in five years of research on these control materials. MMCD has chosen to use the most environmentally compatible control materials available. Staff remain up to date on advances in mosquito control technology. They continue to evaluate alternative methods of mosquito control and solicit input from toxicologists about control materials. To accomplish the above work, the MMCD operations budget for 1994 is $9,979,707. The MMCD levy has not increased in the last four years. The levy on an $80,000 home is less than $4.00 for 1994. Ninety three percent (93%) of MMCD's budget goes into the field for the control of mosquitoes, biting gnats, Lyme tick surveillance, program development, quality assurance and environmental studies. As a public service agency, MMCD is sensitive to the questions and concerns from it's citizens. MMCD's public information program provides speakers for schools and organizations. Brochures, reports, and information are sent to callers and are available upon request.

ADULT MOSQUITOES AND THEIR CONTROL WHERE DO MOSQUITOES COME FROM? All mosquitoes, including Minnesota's main summertime pest species Aedes vexans must develop in water before they can fly. Female mosquitoes lay their eggs on damp organic debris in grassy depressions or along the shoreline of marshes (breeding sites) that will fill in with rainfall. Once flooded, the eggs hatch into tiny wormlike creatures called larvae. They develop in shallow water over a 7 to 10 day period and emerge as adult (flying) mosquitoes. The primary work the Metropolitan mosquito Control District (MMCD) is to control mosquitoes before they leave the water. WHY DO MOSQUITOES BITE PEOPLE? Most mosquitoes must bite people or other animals in order to develop their eggs. Male mosquitoes do not bite. It is only the female mosquito that bites. The blood she obtains is digested to develop the eggs. The female mosquito can lay 200-300 eggs after a blood meal. Mosquitoes are attracted to lighted areas, movement, and dark colors. At close range mosquitoes are attracted to breath, perspiration, and body heat of humans and animals. HOW LONG DO ADULT MOSQUITOES LIVE? The life span of adult mosquitoes can vary from four weeks for the summer breeding mosquitoes to five months for spring woodland mosquito species. HOW FAR CAN MOSQUITOES FLY? The flight range of mosquitoes varies from about 1 mile, for the mosquito that carries LaCrosse Encephalitis, up to 50 miles by Minnesota's dominant summer mosquito Aedes vexans. WHERE DO MOSQUITOES LIVE WHEN THEY ARE ADULTS? Most adult mosquitoes spend their daylight hours in harborage areas. These daytime resting areas include shrubbery, grasses, and other foliage. Other places include under decks, shaded areas of buildings, garages, and culverts. At sundown the mosquitoes leave their resting areas and fly with the evening breezes to search for blood. WHY DOES MMCD CONTROL ADULT MOSQUITOES? The MMCD is responsible for controlling mosquitoes in the 7 county metropolitan area to reduce the risk of disease for public health and human mosquito annoyance. When adult mosquitoes emerge and fly away from uncontrolled breeding sites, adult mosquito spraying is done to supplement larval control measures. As control strategies and resources allow for greater numbers of breeding sites to be controlled, there will be a decreasing need to spray for adult mosquitoes. WHERE DOES MMCD CONTROL ADULT MOSQUITOES? Adult mosquito control is focused in and around park and recreation areas and for public events by request. Spraying for adult mosquitoes is done when human mosquito-borne disease is a threat. over • AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER 0 Printed on recycled paper containing at Nut 15% poet-corpuner paper fiber r- WHAT ADULT MOSQUITO CONTROL MATERIALS ARE USED BY MMCD? MMCD uses two synthetic pyrethroid materials (resmethrin and permethrin) which are similar to pyrethrum, a natural plant product from the chrysanthemum flower. While resmethrin and permethrin are very effective against mosquitoes, at the dosage rate used, scientific data indicate that in their intended use, they are not harmful to humans, animals or plants. Synthetic pyrethroid products are used by veterinarians and pet owners to control fleas and ticks on dogs and cats without adversely affecting the health of the animals. Over -the -counter pyrethroid products are also available for use in the treatment of head lice in humans. HOW DOES MMCD CONTROL ADULT MOSQUITOES? Adult mosquito treatments are directed by surveillance information. Mosquito collections are taken, analyzed and incorporated with mosquito annoyance information received from the public. Mosquito resting area are treated during the daytime with a powered back-pack sprayer. Control materials are applied to the vegetation in and around the edges of woods, brush and other areas. In the evening, as mosquitoes become more active, their flights in and out of harborage areas bring them in contact with the treated vegetation and over a period of days, mosquito number are reduced. Late evening treatments with the truck mounted sprayers are also done when mosquitoes are flying outside of the resting areas. This type spraying is usually done the night before a community event or before the weekend around the more heavily used public park areas, weather permitting. WHO DOES MMCD NOTIFY WHEN DOING TREATMENTS? Local police and county sheriff are notified before treatments. Citizens who have requested to be notified are called beforehand News releases and TV/mdio newscasts are prepared and presented during the season. People can also call the mosquito control information line at 643-8383 for a daily listing of areas where adult mosquito. treatments will be done. WHO CHECKS TO SEE THAT MMCD IS CONTROLLING MOSQUITOES SAFELY? The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) is the responsible agency to regulate and enforce the proper use of pesticides in the state. Only U.S. Environmental Protection Agency registered materials are used. In March 1993, the Minnesota Department of Health, at MMCD's request, completed a Risk Assessment on the adult mosquito control materials used by the Distict (available upon request). Two independent panels, the Technical Advisory Board (TAB) and the Scientific Peer Panel (SPRP), review different aspects of the MMCD program. Since 1981, the TAB annually reviews the MMCD program and makes recommendations to the Commission to help guide the program in the most environmentally responsible way. Since 1985, the SPRP has directed research looking for negative environmental impacts from materials used by MMCD. MMCD's Quality Assurance program establishes quality standards, monitoring and determining the effectiveness of control 1/94 ANOKA 0 Z NENNEAIN RAMfiEY METROPOLITAN MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT Z V. 2099 UNIVERSITY AVENUE WEST ■ ST.

MOSQUITO BREEDING SITES WHAT IS A MOSQUITO BREEDING SITE? A breeding site is just about any place which will hold water for a week or more after it rains. All mosquitoes including our main summertime pest mosquito Aedes vexans must develop in water before it can fly. The female of the species, after- taking a blood meal (mosquito bite), will search for a place to lay her eggs - a moist vegetated depression that will fill with water and remain wet for up to 10 days is ideal. In the water, the eggs hatch into tiny worm like creatures known as larvae. They develop in the shallow water (less than two feet deep) feeding, growing and developing into adult (flying) mosquitoes. that will emerge from the site and live another two to four weeks. WHERE ARE THESE BREEDING SITES LOCATED? The Metropolitan Mosquito Control District (MMCD) has mapped nearly 60,000 breeding sites throughout the greater seven county metropolitan area! There can be as many as 100 or more breeding sites per square mile. Field staff regularly survey to confirm and update detailed section maps (one square mile land area). Breeding sites, have been identified and recorded on these maps for more than 35 years. ARE THERE DIFFERENT KINDS OF BREEDING SITES? Yes, the greatest numbers of mosquitoes are produced from breeding sites that are wet some of the time and dry most of the time. The greatest numbers of mosquitoes are produced in shallow, stagnant water sites associated with wild hay (canary grass) and sedge meadow vegetation. Other breeding sites include tire ruts, short grass ditches, woodland pools and marshes with cattails. Mosquitoes do not develop in moving water (rivers, creeks, or streams) or in most lakes, ornamental ponds or duck ponds. Natural enemies, turbulence of water, water depth and unsuitable egg laying conditions all limit mosquito development. over AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER ® Ptkmd on neyeW pmW eefgel11n0 a b W lax pW-oorw~ pepor abet. WHY ARE BREEDING SITES IMPORTANT? Breeding sites are important because they are locations where mosquitoes are concentrated and can be controlled most easily. The power of mosquitoes is in their numbers. After a significant rainstorm, it's not uncommon to find more than a million mosquito larvae developing in a breeding site the size of a football field! Once the adult mosquitoes emerge out of the water and fly, they will disperse on the evening breezes. Adult mosquitoes can move up to SO miles or more from their breeding sites to bite people. HOW ARE MOSQUITOES CONTROLLED IN THESE BREEDING SITES? Control of immature mosquitoes (larvae) is accomplished with the help of mobile field crews and helicopters applying environment sensitive control materials (briquets, pellets and granules) to mosquito breeding sites. This approach has proven to be the most efficient, cost effective, and environmentally compatible method of controlling mosquitoes. IN CONCLUSION... MMCD control operations are based on the surveillance (monitoring) of breeding sites that are located throughout the seven county metropolitan area. Effective mosquito control requires an organized and information based regional program that takes into account the large quantity of breeding sites and the potential numbers of mosquitoes that each site can produce combined with the extensive flight range of adult mosquitoes - very different from controlling household pests. During the spring and summer the District monitors and treats over 100,000 acres of the most productive mosquito breeding sites throughout the metropolitan area including your neighborhood! 1/94 ~jG • IMyxtOVING THE Metropolitan Mosquito Control District Providing improvement to the quality of (MMCD) is working in collaboration with habitat for cavity-nesting birds such as the QUALITY OF the environmental community to improve owl carries with it the responsibility to avoid nesting habitat quality for cavity nesting creating white footed mouse, starling and NESTING HABITAT birds such as the eastern screech-owl house sparrow nesting habitat.
