MEMO
city of eagan
TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JULY 11, 1996
RE: JULY COMMISSION MEETING
The Commission meeting will again be preceded by a brief tour leaving City Hall at 6:00
P.M. The tour will end no later then 6:40 in order to allow Commission Members to
review the full set of plans which have been submitted for the Healey-Ramme project. This
item appears on the regular agenda.
Staff has received a letter from Ken Tyler who has submitted his resignation from the
Commission. Ken notes that his work and family have required more time and he is no
longer able to make the Commission a priority.
On the agenda for Commission consideration is the Eagan Promenade 2nd Addition, a
Healey Ramme apartment project. A separate memo has been provided which outlines
the background of this development.
The single item under New Business is the review of Scenic Enterprises-Comprehensive
Guide Plan Amendment. This is the 80 acre property formerly defined as the Unisys
property. This item appears as new business since the Commission does not need to make
a recommendation on the project at this time. The developer is, however, looking for
input and direction from the Commission on this plan and relative to parks needs. Again, a
separate memo is included. Staff will verbally address the items under Other Business and
Reports.
In your packet is the proposed draft of the Department's 1997 budget. The Commission
had asked to review this as it was being prepared. Staff anticipates that following
adjournment the Commission will meet in workshop session to allow staff to review this
document with the Members.
See you on Monday.

DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS
JUNE/JULY, 1996
1. The Department received a $2,000 grant from the School District 196 Collaborative flex fund. The grant is for rent at the
Wescott Service Center. Coupled with the Tri-Max Foundation Grant, funds are now available to continue renting
through December 31, 1996.
2. The Evening in the Park series has begun. The entertainment is held at Trapp Farm Park on Wednesday evenings at 7:00
p.m. McDonald's of Eagan provides free orange drinks to the crowd. Kit and Kaboodle attracted 150-200 people on June
26. The big event is the Teddy Bear Band on July 17. The Department provides an interpreter at each performance.
3. Youth summer sports are beginning to wind down. By July 26 all youth softball, baseball and soccer will have completed
their seasons.
4. Planning for fall sports is underway. The Department is accepting fall softball registrations for adult leagues. EAA has
held registrations. Football and soccer field needs will be finalized in the next two weeks.
5. The Wescott basketball leagues are underway. Approximately 100 youth are taking part. Coaches are volunteers. In
some cases, older teens are coaching the 10-13 year olds.
6. A whirlwind of activities are occurring at Wescott. In addition to preschool, junior and teen activity a Community
"festival" is being planned. The neighborhood is coming together to organize the events.
7. The second tennis camp of the summer is smaller than hoped for. The 27 youth will certainly receive numerous
repetitions during skills drills.
8. Eagan High School has-budgeted monies for purchase of additional windscreens for Northview tennis courts. The
Department may participate in the cost as part of the partnership with the school.
9. The Department's "Little Doodlers' Arts and Crafts Tent" at the Yankee Doodle Festival was a success. Summer staff
efficiently ran the craft projects along with Community Education 196 volunteers. Comments such as "I can't believe this
is free", "What a wonderful idea" were heard frequently. Wal-Mart provided most of the supplies as sponsor of the
activity.
10. Although the adult tennis leagues are popular,.adult tennis lessons again are weak. Evaluation at the end of the summer
will determine whether the offering should be discontinued.
1 l . Clerical staff continue to perform admirably with recreation registrations minus the planned for networked computer
registration system. To date, 5,825 registrations have been processed.
12. Eagan seniors will have two salad potluck lunches, go out to the Cherokee Sirloin Room and be entertained by banjoist
LeRoy Larson in the next six weeks.
13. Park staff will soon begin the installation of play structures at Northview and Thomas Lake Elementary Schools. School
District staff will remove the existing equipment and install the safety surface.
14. Park staff assisted the School District with infield improvements at the high school and Thomas Lake Elementary.
15. The summer grading of infields is nearing completion.
16. The application of fertilizer to irrigated athletic fields has begun.
17. Park staff has completed the installation of most interior fixtures at the new Lexington Diffley maintenance building.
18. A county youth work crew recently completed the construction of wooden storage bins at Lexington Diffley. The City
Street Department is assisting with the paving of he maintenance drive and the storage area.
19. The installation of a large viewing deck at Blackhawk Park by the Twin Cities Tree Trust is nearly half completed. The
view will be spectacular!
20. A crew from the County Sentence to Serve Program is currently working in numerous park areas repainting hockey rinks.
3
21. Forestry staff is continuing with the installation of landscape materials at the Municipal Center. Hundreds of pieces have
already been installed. The south entrance plantings have generated many positive comments.
22. The installation of the irrigation system at the Arena and City Hall building is nearing completion. The contractor must
still complete clean up and restoration.
23. A contractor has been hired to remove storm damaged trees in several park areas. The trees were in passive areas of the
parks and require large equipment to complete the removal.
24. The Parks/Forestry Research Assistant is near completion of a City-wide trail inventory. All data has been recorded using
the Global Positioning System (GPS) for future inclusion in the City G.I.S. The coordinates must still be corrected
utilizing the local reference point through the Internet. A tree inventory utilizing GPS has also begun.
25. The use of a growth inhibitor mixed with field lining paint has reduced the amount of paint needed to maintain lines on
numerous athletic fields. The inhibitor slows grass growth thereby preventing the lines from begin mowed off as often.
26. The recent rains have prompted a flush of grass growth in many parks. Ten mowing units are being sent out on a daily
basis.
27. There has been an increase in vandalism, particularly graffiti. Tennis courts, benches, back boards and play equipment
have been the most common targets.
28. 256 teams are playing in 35 leagues this summer in the adult softball program. The season ends in late July and early
August.

MEMO
_ city of eagan
TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JULY 10, 1996
RE: EAGAN PROMENADE 2ND ADDITION - HEALEY RAMMEY CO
BACKGROUND
In December 1995 the City Council approved a Preliminary Planned Development for
Opus Corporation .for a 120 acres north of Yankee Doodle Road and west of Lexington
Avenue. The Preliminary Planned Development included both commercial and
residential components, and approved up to 294 multifamily dwelling units in five
buildings for the residential portion of the development. The Preliminary Plan
Development Agreement as approved establishes the development's uses, setbacks,
maximum building square footages, internal site circulation and parking requirements.
When the Preliminary Planned Development was approved in December, the City
Council did not approve the landscaping and design details. The Agreement requires
that the developer submit several revised master plan exhibits in the form of a Plan
Amendment. The required amendment for the commercial portion of the development
was approved in February 1996.
Healey Ramme Company is now requesting approval of a Preliminary Planned
Development Amendment for the residential portion of the Eagan Promenade
Development. The proposal currently consists of 282 multifamily dwelling units in six
buildings. In earlier concepts of this development a public park component was
considered. In the Preliminary Planned Development approved the open space was to
be private, but there was a requirement that the developer install a private trail around
the pond located on the adjacent lot to the west.
Consistent with this, the developer is proposing a 6 foot aggregate trail along the west
portion of the site to take advantage of the pond amenity and provide a pedestrian
connection between the residential and commercial portions of the development.
PARKS/TRAILS DEDICATION
The Eagan Promenade development contract calls for a cash parks dedication. Opus is
paying for the installation of the public sidewalk and trails system in the entire Eagan
Promenade development in lieu of cash trail dedication.
TREE PRESERVATION
During July 1995, preliminary plat approval for this development was granted which
provided for the condition that any additional significant tree removal would require
mitigation. Changes to the submitted proposed development plan (July 3, 1996) have
resulted in a difference in the amount of trees being removed largely because of revised
grade limits and a redesign of building locations.
Significant Vegetation
The following table illustrates significant tree removal for both July 1995 plans and July
1996 revised plan.
1uy1995 July 1996
Existing significant trees 825 825
Trees to be removed 235 255
Percent of total trees removed 28.5% 30.9%
During 1995 meetings, staff requested that Healey Ramme redesign building number 4
(now numbered building number 5) in the northeast corner of the property, to preserve
as many of the existing specimen oak trees as possible. The revised plan reflects this
redesign. The overall effect of this redesign has resulted in the preservation of more
large specimen oak trees at the expense of smaller oak and other hardwood trees.
Additional significant tree removal on the revised plan totals 45 trees; additional
significant preservation on the revised plan totals 25 trees; therefore the net loss of 20
additional trees. The redesign has resulted in the preservation of nine large oak trees
(diameters are 36, 36, 32, 32, 32, 32, 28, 28, and 21 inches). The remaining
preserved trees are smaller oak, black cherry, cedar, and cottonwood. Only four oaks
greater than 20" diameter are being removed as a result of the redesign, with the
remainder of these removals being smaller oak, black cherry, elm, cedar, and
cottonwood.
Mitigation for the additional removal was calculated related to the diameter inch of
trees preserved versus removed (the goal of the redesign was to preserve larger
specimen oaks). The developer will be required to mitigate the net impact of design
changes which calculate to the installation of 9 Category A trees or 18 Category B
trees or 36 Category C trees. This additional mitigation is in addition to any landscape
requirement. A revised landscape plan should be submitted indicating the species and
location of this additional mitigation.
WATER OUALITY/WETLANDS
Water quality:
This 29-acre multi-family development will generate runoff that will eventually reach
LeMay Lake, a Class I direct contact recreation water body located just west of
Interstate 35E. This portion of the LeMay Lake drainage basin has been subject to
heavy development pressures, and the existing conditions for the planned development
and well as past review by the Commission has indicated a preference for on-site
pending to mitigate downstream impacts on LeMay Lake to minimize future restoration
costs for the lake.
In order to protect LeMay Lake from the impact of this development, on-site pending
should be required. Current conditions to the PD call for the excavation of .3 acre-feet
of sediment from the southern portion of the Pond DP-6 to improve treatment from the
northern portion of the site. This condition is reflected in the grading plan dated July 3,
1996. A second condition also required the creation of a second detention basin, Pond
DP-5. 1, to treat runoff from the remainder of the site. This condition should be
modified to reduce the required wet pond volume and mean depth at normal water
level to 1 acre-foot and 3 feet, respectively. The reduction in required volume reflects
a decrease in the impervious coverage and drainage area of the pond compared to that
assumed during the initial analyses conducted in April and August, 1995.
Wetlands :
The wetland replacement plan approved by the City for Eagan Promenade authorized
filling of up to .47 acres of wetland, .046 acres of which is associated with the multi-
family residential portion of the project. The replacement plan proposed creation of a
total of 1.08 acres of wetland.
The most recent review of wetland related impacts for the 2nd Addition showed that
there is a small Type 3 wetland just over the northern border of this phase of the
development that will be impacted by the access road extending south from
Northwood Drive to serve this development. This wetland and its impact were not
identified in the original survey. Installation of the road will result in filling of .05
acres of this wetland, and the replacement obligation for this impact will be .1 acres.
The amount of replacement wetland for the Eagan Promenade project under the plan
previously approved by the City will result in the creation of .14 acres of wetland in
excess of that needed to meet the 2:1 mitigation requirement for the original impact.
Thus, the developer has submitted a request to apply this excess mitigation to
compensate for the additional wetland impact. Staff recommends that the request be
approved, and that the conditions associated with the planned development agreement
covering both phases of the Eagan Promenade project be revised to show a total
wetland impact of .52 acres, a minimum mitigation requirement of 1.04 acres of
wetland creation, and an actual proposed mitigation of 1.08 acres.

city of eagan MEMO
TO: Ken Vraa
FROM: Julie Farnham
REGARDING: Scenic Enterprises, Inc. - Comprehensive Guide Plan
Amendment
DATE: July 5, 1996
Scenic Enterprises, Inc. is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Guide Plan
Amendment to change the Central Area land use plan to allow a mix of residential,
commercial and park uses on approximately 80 acres located north of Yankee Doodle
Road, west of Pilot Knob Road in the SE 1 /4 of Section 9.
Scenic Enterprises' land use proposal designates 49.5 acres for residential development
at 3.5 units/acres, 2.0 acres for multiple family (assisted living) residential, 4.5 acres for
neighborhood business, 2.5 acres for a motel, and 21.5 acres for a park.
It is the City's policy to consider comprehensive guide plan amendments prior to review
of detailed development proposals (e.g. subdivisions, planned developments, etc.). As
such, the Advisory Planning Commission began their review of the comprehensive guide
plan amendment request at a public hearing on May 16, 1996. No action was taken and
the public hearing was continued. The APC requested input and direction from the City
Council regarding development of a central park/community center. This 80-acre site was
one of several sites identified for the potential development of a central park/community
center.
The idea of developing a central park grew out of the Council's direction and the work of
the Central Area Task Force. Initially, a park and community building were intended to
be part of the Eagan Promenade. However, the site made available by Opus for the park
proved unsuitable for the type of activities desired. Last summer the City began looking
for other sites within or near the Central Area that would be appropriate for a central park.
The 200-acre site previously owned by Northwestern Mutual Life and this 80-acre site
previously owned by Unisys were both considered potential park sites due to their central
locations and attractive natural features. They are also some of the only remaining large
undeveloped parcels in the Central Area vicinity.
Further investigation of these, or other potential park sites, was put on hold while the City
considered the Carriage Hills land use amendment request. To date, no decision has
been made as to whether a central park facility or a community center should be
/a
developed in the Central Area and, if so, what facilities should this park provide and
where, specifically, should it be located. The APC, in requesting input and direction from
the City Council regarding development of a central park asked for the Council's response
to two questions:
1. Is the City still interested in developing a central park?
2. If so, does the City want to consider this site for such a park?
At their workshop meeting on June 25, 1996, the City Council stated that development
of a central area park is still a goal. They indicated that a central park facility should
provide year-round activities, both indoor and outdoor, and should be suitable to host
citywide events; in particular the July 4th celebration. The Council felt that further
analysis of this and other potential park sites would be necessary to determine the best
location for a central park.
The attributes of the Scenic Enterprises site include attractive physical features (wetlands,
oak woodlands, rolling topography), close proximity to the center of the City, and good
access off major roadways (Yankee Doodle, Pilot Knob, and future ring road). Whether
it is the best site fora central park and/or community center depends on the specific
program of facilities and activities desired. Of the 21.5 acres designated for a park on
Scenic Enterprises proposal, a good portion of it consists of wetlands, steep slopes and
woodlands. While those characteristics may be desirable for a predominately passive
park facility, additional acreage may need to be acquired to accommodate buildings,
parking and active recreation facilities, if that is the desired program for a central area
park.
The City's Park System Plan, updated in 1995, does not designate any additional parks
in this area. The property has long been designated for research and development type
uses and was anticipated to develop with major offices. There are not any citywide park
facilities in the immediate area. The site is located within park service district #9 which
includes two neighborhood parks - Quarry Park and Pilot Knob Park. Due to roadway
alignments and property ownership, Quarry and Pilot Knob parks tend to operate as
separate units. It has long been the desire of the City to link these two parks via a trail
connection to make the amenities at both parks accessible to residents who live within
the service area. When this property is developed, regardless of the final use, the City
will be looking to obtain some parkland to establish a link between this 80 acre site,
Quarry and Pilot Knob parks.
ACTION REQUESTED
Input from the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission as to
whether the proposed 21.5 acres of parkland should be considered for a central
park/community center.

Natural Resources Commission
Mr. Tyler,
Burr Oak Hills needs a-park buffer to separate it from industrial land nearby. The acreage
in question, I believe is known as Gopher Industrial Park, fraught with pine forests,
vegetation, deer, fox, coyotes, colorful song birds, etc.
It is already being used as a wilderness area by the residents. The land in question is the
swatch of land east of TH 149 (Dodd Rd.), bordered on the south by Yankee Doodle Rd.
(or its possible extension) and on the north by the Burr Oaks development. I think the
area would fit nicely with policy considerations of the city and it would preserve a wild
space on the northeast edge of Eagan.
Community support for the use of the land is strong and can be documented. I am
available to speak before your committee. My phone number is 486-0600 ext. 102 (Wk)
or 452-0229 (H).
Sincerely yours,
Terrence M. Sullivan

COMMISSION
FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: REVIEW OF DRAFT BROCHURE ON BUFFER STRIPS
DATE: JULY 9, 1996
As discussed at the June Commission meeting, water resources staff have conducted research for
and prepared a draft of an information sheet/brochure on wetland buffers. Our objectives in
preparing the material are to educate riparian property owners on the benefits of buffers, to
promote the establishment of buffers by these property owners, and to provide a source of
information on how to create a buffer. I hope to have the information available for public
distribution in early August.
Attached is a draft narrative of the brochure for Commission review. I would appreciate it if
Commission members with comments could contact me at 681-4300 or forward those comments
to me by Monday, July 22. Thanks very much for your input and interest.

PROTECTING YOUR SHORELINE WITH NATURAL BUFFERS
Eagan's many lakes and wetlands are an important part of what makes this community special. But some
city residents who are in the best position to enjoy these bodies of water may inadvertently be doing them
harm.
Shoreland property owners who maintain a mowed lawn right down to the water's edge contribute to
serious water quality problems. Rainwater flows right over shortly-cut bluegrass lawns, bending the soft
blades of the grass over without losing much velocity. This quickly-flowing water can carry a heavy load
of pollutants into the lake or wetland, clouding the water and providing excess nutrients that fuel the
growth of unsightly mats of surface-floating algae. Once a lake or wetland is thrown out of balance by the
effects of pollutant laden run-off, an ecological chain-reaction starts. Both the variety and numbers of
plants and wildlife (including fish) can be reduced. Wetlands and lakes become poorer habitat for people,
too; an algae-covered water body is a less enjoyable place to swim, boat, fish, or even look at.
But as a shoreland owner, there is a way you can help.
The Basics on Buffer Strips
By creating a strip of taller, stronger un-maintained vegetation-called a "buffer strip"- along a lake or
wetland, shoreland owners can improve the quality of runoff reaching a lake or wetland, protect their
shoreline, add beauty to their yard, and attract songbirds and other wildlife.
Buffer strips extending back 50 feet or more from the lake or wetland edge are considered optimum for
pollutant removal and other benefits. In a suburban environment, few established lots have this much
room to spare. But even buffer strips as narrow in width as 15-20 feet provide significant water quality,
wildlife habitat, and aesthetic benefits.
For owners of new lots, the best solution is frequently to leave the shoreline vegetation as it is. Often,
though, the shoreland area has already been changed, and a buffer strip may need to be established. The
simplest way to make a buffer strip is to let your lawn grow to seed height. Most lawn grasses will stop
growing at a height of 1-2 feet. The added height and stiffer stems will be more effective at slowing and
filtering runoff from maintained yard areas and providing cover for wildlife.
But the best buffer strip is one with a community of native grasses, flowers, shrubs and trees. Native
grasses tend to have stiffer stems, standing up better to heavy rains. They can often bear the weight of
snow and are still upright during the spring melt, a time when excess nutrient input peaks. As runoff
weaves through these stiff-stemmed plants, the speed of the runoff is reduced and pollutants carried in the
runoff are dropped in the buffer strip and eventually used by the plants. A well-planned buffer can also
feature a succession of blooming wildflowers from spring through freeze-up which adds beauty to any
yard. And native plants are more attractive to wildlife, particularly birds. For example, certain types of
native plants have seed heads that stick up above the snow in winter, providing an available source of feed
during a very harsh time of the year.
While both types of buffer strips are desirable, a native plant strip offers several advantages. Since these
plants are naturally adapted to our climate and conditions, they need very little maintenance. Once they're
established, native grasses and wildflowers thrive in warm, dry, infertile soils. Thus, fertilizing and
watering are un-necessary, saving the homeowner both time and money. In addition, these plants tend to
have immunity to diseases common to our area.
Establishing a Native Plant Buffer Strip
The best time to start a native plant buffer strip is in the spring, sometime between late May and mid-July,
although fall plantings done sometime between late September and freeze-up work too. For natives to
grow, it is necessary to start with a "clean slate" - lawn grasses must be removed from the area. It may be
most practical to clear larger areas with a careful application of one of the newer herbicides like Round-
Up or Rodeo. These compounds have limited effects on lakes and break down quickly.
Native grasses are usually grown from seed. Wildflower seeds can be mixed with grass seed - or, for a
quicker start, purchased and planted as seedlings. To seed an area, rake the bare soil and then "broadcast"
the seeds by throwing them out over the area as evenly as possible. The rate of application varies with the
seed mix selected, but one pound of seed for every 2200 to 2900 square feet is typical. Rake the seeds
lightly into the soil so they aren't blown away or eaten by mice or birds. On steeply sloped areas, it's a
good idea to seed in a fast-growing annual "cover" crop like oats or winter wheat to stabilize the soil
while the native plants are starting out and then cover the area lightly with a mulch of clean straw. (A
rough guideline is that 50% of the ground should still be visible after mulching.) Trees and shrubs will
take hold much more quickly if bought as saplings and transplanted. Resist the temptation to fertilize a
buffer strip; fertilizer is a very harmful pollutant to lakes and wetlands and will actually be detrimental to
a buffer strip by giving weeds and turf grass an advantage over native plants.
After a native plant buffer strip has taken root, all that is needed from the landowner is an occasional
removal of weeds and non-native plants that might pop up.
Native Plant Sources and Further Information
The City of Eagan will provide you with a list of sources for native plants and more detailed information
about native vegetation planting. Many of these companies will help with the design of your buffer strip.
Just call the Eagan Water Resources Coordinator at 681-4300 for this information.

Mr. Vraa:
Just a short note to let you know that we have used the new Eagan
Wading Pool and have thoroughly enjoyed it! One year old Abby
loves to play in the water. We were wondering, though, if you
would give consideration to extending the evening hours of
operation from 7pm to 8pm? With work schedules and trying to
have dinner as a family, it is very difficult to get to the wading pool
before 6:30pm which leaves little time for using the pool.
Especially when we'have long daylight hours and warm, sunny
days, it would be very nice to have the wading pool available until
8pm. Additional items to consider are shade and a larger deck
area.
We have enjoyed the use of this wading pool immensely and will
continue to use it during the summer. We hope you consider this
request for longer pool hours.
Sincerely,
Jane Peterson

Dear Ken.
During the last 2 months I have not been able to devote the time to the
Advisory Parks and Natural Resource Commission that is necessary to do
a good job. It has become obvious that the responsibilities of my regular
job will limit the time I have available to participate In Commission
functions. With this in mind, I believe it is only fair to the city and other
commission members that I resign at this time.
It has certainly been a pleasure to work with you, your staff, and other
Commission members. The role of the Commission is certainly very
important and becoming more so as ever decreasing funds and land are
available. Please accept my apologies for not being able to complete my
term.
-Sincerely,
Ken er

RE: BUDGET REVIEW
The Commission has requested an opportuntiy to reivew the Department's proposed
budget for 1997. It is anticipated that the Commission, following adjournment of the
regular meeting, will meet to review this material.
As you review the material, you will note that staff submits three different options. A zero
percent growth, a 5% growth and an option greater than 5%. Since staff is still in the
process of completing the budget, not all of the supporting materials have been submitted
or completed prior to this memo. Staff will try to work through the budget with the
Commission, absent the support documents.
