MEMO
city of eagan
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: NOVEMBER 12,1997
SUBJECT: NOVEMBER 17,1997 COMMISSION MEETING
The regular meeting of the Commission will begin at 7:00pm. Three development items appear
on the consent agenda and unless there are questions, a single motion to approve would be in
order.
Lundgren Bros. has asked to be placed on the agenda. They appear as the only item under Old
Business. Bill Anner, who was representing the project, left the firm and has been replaced by
Terry Forbord. Mr. Forbord met with City Staff on November 4' to review the plat, and in
particular, the parks issues. Mr. Forbord was at the Advisory Planning Commission meeting in
October, heard the residents and the Commission's recommendation for denial of the plat.
Lundgren has sent a letter to residents (copy attached) notifying them of a meeting to explain
changes they intend to make in the plat. (As of the writing of this memo, staff has not seen the
proposed revisions. Should they come to our attention prior to the mailing of this information
packet, they will be included.) At the meeting with staff, Mr. Forbord indicated that they would
be agreeable to providing the once private park as public space, but that he did not see how they
would be able to provide more then two additional lots to the neighborhood park.
Since staff has not yet seen the proposal, we are not able to provide you with any analysis. Staff
is uncertain as to what action Mr. Forbord will be requesting at the meeting , but presumably he
will be seeking approval of some sort before proceeding to the City Council meeting scheduled
for November 18.
The first item under New Business is the review of park dedication fees for 1998. A memo has
been prepared regarding this. A memo is also enclosed regarding other fees and charges within
the department. The City Council has scheduled both of these items for inclusion in the overall
1998 fees and charges which will be scheduled at the first Council meeting in December.
The third item, review of park benches along transportation corridors, was directed to the
Commission by the City Council. As you may have read, the City Council has directed that
benches (bus benches), because they have advertising on them, be removed from the City right of
ways. As a result of that action, the Council has asked the Commission to review the potential
for placement of park or ornamental benches in needed areas. Enclosed in the packet are the
minutes of the Special Council meeting of October 7' relating to this item. It may be
appropriate for the Commission to discuss this item and provide some direction to a sub-
committee for additional review and discussion.
Following Parks Development and Water Quality Update, the Annual Report for Holz Farm will
be given. The Friends of the Farm will have conducted their annual meeting on Wednesday
evening (November 12). The second item is a report by City Forestry Hove on the effectiveness
of the Oak Wilt Program. This will be followed by sub-committee reports and setting of any
additional meetings.
As always, if you have a question or conflict with attending the meeting, please call 681-4661.
Respectfully submi d,
Ken Vraa

DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS
NOVEMBER 1997
1. The Treat Trail was well attended by over 350 participants, ages 6 and under, who only wanted the
treats and fun out of trick-or-treating. Four Girl Scout troops and one church Youth Group volunteered
their time to this event.
2. A visit to Appleside Orchard in Farmington was the fall field trip for preschoolers in the Tiny Tots,
Just for 5's, and Play With Me classes during October. Picking apples, munching on apples, tasting
honey, riding on the hayrack, and of course, a bus ride were enjoyed by all.
3. School's Out events were popular for grades K-5 on October 15, 16, and 17. A trip to the Apple
Orchard, Arts and Crafts Day, Nature Activities, Games Day, and Swim & Gym Fun were the events
that occurred.
4. Fall volleyball leagues are going strong. There are 17 women's teams, 6 men's, 18 co-ed recreational,
and 29 co-ed officiated teams. There are a total of 70 teams.
5. Winter is approaching fast. Many family events and school's out events are planned. Breakfast with
Santa, Family Open Swim & Gym, and Sesame Street Live are some of the family events planned.
Holiday Hoopla (crafts and treats), Cinema Cafe/Roller-skating, Winter Round-up at Diamond T
Ranch, and Parks and Recreation Day with the Timberwolves are some of the events during days off
from school.
6. The second Annual Meeting for the Friends of the Farm non-profit group is being held Wednesday,
November 12. Members and invited guests will review a very successful 1997. Their activities at
Holz Farm have helped create a more useable 1940's-style farm. The most recent projects include
restoration of the Chicken House and start of a ramp to make the house accessible. 1998 promises to
be another year of growth and opportunity.
7. Adult basketball is nearing the end of the fall season. Twenty-six teams are participating. Winter
basketball will be popular once again. Play begins in January.
8. Applications are slow in coming for the warming house staff. Please spread the word about these
employment opportunities. "Word of mouth" is the most successful form of recruitment. The season
runs from mid-December through February. Staff averages 20-25 hours per week and work consists of
weekday evenings, weekends, and school vacation days. Applicants must be at least 16 years old.
Apply now!
9. What appears to be the final round of environmental sampling has been completed at the North Park
site. The results again appear to be "clean". The data will be submitted to the MPCA for review.
10. Environmental sampling has been completed at Captain Dodd Park to determine if contaminants from
an adjoining property have eroded into the park. The initial results were all within acceptable levels as
determined by MPCA. The latest results will also be submitted for MPCA review.
11. With the assistance of the City Utility Department, city water has been extended into the McCarthy
Home at Patrick Eagan Park. A sanitary sewer connection is not feasible at this time. Staff is
continuing to make improvements to the interior in anticipation of the house being rented. The "type"
of rental has not yet been determined.
12. The Dakota County Parks Department has been requested to again include the city in its contractual X-
C ski trail grooming program. The program was used successfully this past season.
3.
13. Assistant City Forester/Park Maintenance worker, John Firm, has submitted his resignation effective
November 21. The process to fill the position will begin after the holiday season. John has accepted
the position of "stay at home father". Good luck to John.
14. The winterization of all park irrigation and building system has been completed.
15. The base flooding of hockey rinks will begin in 2 weeks. Staff has completed repairs on most rinks in
anticipation of the season. A contractor has been brought in to make repairs to numerous rink lights.
16. Supervisor of Forestry, Gregg Hove, and Water Resource Coordinator, Rich Brasch, gave a
presentation at the recently completed Minnesota Recreation and Park Association Annual Conference
in Rochester. The session dealt with the preservation of resources through city initiatives and
ordinances. Superintendent of Parks, Paul Olson, served as the moderator.
17. Forestry staff has completed the installation of plantings at several park sites and around numerous
signs. The "winterization" of a number of sites has also been completed.
18. The cold, but dry weather has allowed staff to complete several projects on athletic fields in
anticipation of spring, including the replacement of fences of Northview and the sodding of goal areas
at Ohmann Park.
19. An alum treatment of Schwanz Lake was completed on Tuesday, October 28. The treatment is
intended to reduce internal recycling of phosphorus within the lake and is the final remedial action to
be taken under the City's Cleanwater Partnership Project with the MN Pollution Control Agency.
20. City water resources staff recently completed a joint effort with the MN Pollution Control Agency,
Audubon Council of Minnesota, and Dakota County to test an innovative method of using citizen
volunteers to evaluate wetland quality. The effort began earlier this spring, ran through the summer,
and involved hundreds of hours of volunteer time. An appreciation get-together was held on October
27 to recognize volunteers from the communities of Burnsville, Lakeville, and Eagan who participated
in the project.
21. Water Resources Coordinator Brasch made a joint presentation with staff from Bonestroo, Rosene,
Anderlik, Inc. at the recent Minnesota Water Resources Conference on the restoration of the Hayes-
Delosh Ravine using bioengineering techniques. The talk was well received and generated much
discussion on the proper application and challenges of using bioengineering techniques for storm water
management applications.
22. Department Landscape Architect C.J. Lilly and Water Resources Coordinator Brasch recently
completed work on design of a landing to be constructed on Schwanz Lake. The purpose of the
landing will be to allow occasional weed harvesting activities in Schwartz Lake, where improved water
clarities due to the Cleanwater Partnership effort are expected to increase rooted weed growth.
Installation of the landing will occur next spring.
23. Water resources staff Brasch and Storland were invited to the School of Environmental Studies on the
Minnesota Zoo campus to listen to presentations from over 100 students on studies they recently
concluded on about 20 lakes and ponds in Eagan. For many students, it was their first exposure to lake
ecology and field work. The event was part of an effort by the school's teachers to teach students how
environmental work is used in the real world.
24. The winter issue of the Discover Us! brochure has gone to the printer. It should be at the post office
for delivery this week and next. Registration begins December 1St
25. Winter activities announced in the brochure include numerous fun filled days at the outdoor rinks
during the school winter break, family special events in January and February, the winter sessions of
programs for preschoolers, and the line-up of winter sports for adults.
7•
26. Staff enjoyed working with seniors from Burnsville High School on October 30. Billed as a
"shadowing" exercise to enable students to gain a better understanding of municipal government in
action; the day also featured an opportunity for staff to learn from the students. Based on thank you
letters received, the students found that their experience exceeded their expectations.
27. The Eagan Hockey Association will field 45 teams this season. This represents an increase of 5 teams
from one year ago. The growth translates to a need for 8 additional hours of outdoor practice ice each
week. In that growth is at older levels; bantams and peewees primarily, available ice in the 8:00-9:00
p.m. time frame may be sufficient to meet the needs of the association. Outdoor practice ice will then
be virtually at the maximum available space. The next alternative is use of single rink neighborhood
sites, which have been free of scheduled activity for at least 10 years.
28. The Department's CLASS computer registration software will be upgraded this month. The upgrade is
touted to make the system easier, faster, and more flexible. Interface with the facility module, which
the Department will install in 1998, is the prime reason for upgrading the registration module at this
time.
29. Staff have agreed to host another USTA Challenger II tennis tournament in July of 1998. This level of
tournament provides opportunity for Eagan youth, is easy to administer, however, it attracts rain like a
magnet!
30. Eagan Hockey Association dry land practice continues at Goat Hill Park on Monday, Tuesday, and
Thursday evenings. The activity ends on November 20 in order that preparations for base flooding can
begin.
31. A full class of 35 senior citizens took advantage of the Departments' 55 Alive mature driving refresher
course.
32. Dakota County staff has begun attending meetings of the South of the River Recreators. Staff hopes
that a cross country ski event will grow out of this new alliance. In addition SORR communities will
learn more of county facilities as potential program sites.
33. Loudi Rivamonte, Gregg Hove, and Rich Brasch were presenters at the Minnesota Recreation and Park
Association state conference.
34. Staff will be reviewing the CIP with the City Council part of a workshop session on November 25.
This will include the parks CIP, already reviewed by the commission (1998) and equipment needs for
1998 through 2002.
35. Work is progressing on the Civic Arena addition. A "November" updated cost contract is being
prepared based on the latest construction information and from a preliminary review with the building
department on code requirements.
36. The City Council recently (November 3 workshop) tentatively approved a site plan for the municipal
center campus, which provides for an outdoor family swimming center. Staff has been asked to do
additional reviews and prepare for consideration an R.F.P. for consultant services for a pool design
along with a review process.

MEMO
city of eagan
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: NOVEMBER 12,1997
SUBJECT: PARK CENTER SIXTH ADDITION - REGAL CINEMAS
BACKGROUND:
Regal Cinemas are proposing a Planned Development Amendment to allow a 16 screen movie
theater and a Preliminary Subdivision (Park Center Sixth Addition) consisting of one 10-acre lot,
located at the NE intersection of Cliff Road and Cliff Lake Road.
The site is zoned PD - Planned Development and was previously designated for retail use. The
amendment is necessary to change the retail designation to a 16-screen movie theater. The City's
Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this area for Commercial Planned Development. The
proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan
PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION:
This development will be responsible for a cash parks dedication and a cash trails dedication.
TREE PRESERVATION:
A tree preservation plan and a tree inventory have been submitted for this development. The
inventory indicates that current significant vegetation consists of 24 significant trees. These trees are
all located in the extreme northwest corner of this property. Tree species includes oak, blackcherry,
and hackberry. Tree diameters range from 6" to 29".
Site preparation for this development will result in the removal all 24 significant trees (100% of the
total).
According to the City of Eagan Tree Preservation Ordinance, allowable removal for this type of
development (single lot, commercial) is set at 30% of the existing significant vegetation. With a
significant tree removal percentage (100%) more than allowable limit (30%) there will be tree
preservation mitigation required for this development.
According to the City of Eagan Tree Replacement Schedule mitigation for this development
calculates to 42 Category B trees or a cash mitigation of $12,600.00. Per Tree Preservation
Ordinance, tree mitigation is to occur either:
a. "on-site" (in addition to any landscape requirements and if sufficient room is available)
OR
b. on other property within the city of Eagan owned by the applicant (if sufficient room is
available)
OR
c. on public/city/park property
OR
d. as cash mitigation.
l•
Staff is recommending that tree preservation mitigation requirements be fulfilled through the
installation of trees (by applicant provided contractual services) into a nearby city park (probably
Rahn Park). A landscape plan will be provided by staff before spring 1998 indicating location,
species and size of trees to be installed. Mitigation will occur spring 1998.
Discussion
The applicant has been asked by City Planning Staff to indicate additional proof-of-parking
capabilities for this site. The area chosen for this additional parking is located on an adjacent piece
of property northwest of the site. This property is currently vegetated with 27 oak trees and 13 black
cherry trees (ranging in diameter from 6" to 37"). Five oak trees are over 20" in diameter, with one
oak tree measuring 37" in diameter (a specimen tree according to the Tree Preservation Ordinance).
If this area is required to be developed as parking 34 of these trees will be removed (85% of the
total). Mitigation for this tree removal calculates to 56 Category B trees or a cash mitigation of
$16,800.00. This additional development and subsequent tree removal is not included within the
submitted development proposal.
Staff is recommending approval of the Tree Preservation Plan as proposed with the following
conditions:
• To require that the applicant fulfill tree preservation mitigation by providing contractual
installation 42 category B trees (or an equivalent number of category A or category C trees) into
a nearby city park per city staff prepared landscape plan specifications. Installation to occur
spring 1998.
• To require that a tree preservation plan be submitted and reviewed by staff if additional tree
removal occurs for development related to proof-of-parking requirements.
WATER QUALITY/ WETLANDS:
Water quality requirements for this parcel have already been met through the construction of a
detention basin that is designed to serve this portion of the Park Center Planned Development as well
as other commercial developments to the east. There are no jurisdictional wetlands on the site.
Therefore no action is necessary with regard to water quality and wetland issues for this parcel.
FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. This development shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication and a cash trails dedication.
2. The applicant shall fulfill tree preservation mitigation by providing contractual installation of 42
category B trees (or an equivalent number of category A or category C trees) into a nearby city
park per city staff prepared landscape plan specifications. Installation shall occur spring 1998.
3. A tree preservation plan shall be submitted and reviewed by staff if additional tree removal
occurs for development related to proof-of-parking requirements.

MEMO
city of eagan
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: NOVEMBER 12,1997
SUBJECT: RAHN RIDGE 3RD ADDITION - RAHN RIDGE ASSOCIATES
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is proposing an amendment to the city's Comprehensive Guide Plan to change the land use designation
from LB, Limited Business, to CPD, Commercial Planned Development. A subdivision of the 2.42 acre parcel into
two lots is also proposed, as well as an amendment to the existing Planned Development to allow a 38-unit motel.
The subject site was originally a part of the Mission Hills South Planned Development that consisted of mixed
residential and commercial land uses. The southern portion of the PD consists of single family and duplex
development. In 1985, the City Council approved the Rahn Ridge preliminary plat for the Cedar Ridge Church and 25
duplex lots within the PD. The only remaining undeveloped property within the PD (this 2.42 acre site - Lot 2, Block
1, Rahn Ridge 2"d Addition) was designated for Limited Business uses and is currently guided Limited Business in the
city's Comprehensive Guide Plan. In May of 1996, an amendment to the PD was approved which called for a 20,000
s.f. office building to be built on this site.
The majority of the site is flat and slopes gently to the south. The site was graded with previous development and is
open with no significant vegetation. Access for Lot 1 is proposed through two shared accesses onto Rahn Cliff Road.
Access to Lot 2 is also proposed to the north onto Rahn Way.
The proposed motel is a two-story motel consisting of 38 units. A pylon sign is proposed at the northeast corner of the
site. The architecture is brick with steel lap siding, a gabled roof and asphalt shingles. Although specific plans for the
future office building on Lot 1 have not been submitted, the office is proposed to be just under 12,000 square feet and
the applicant has indicated the architectural design and materials will be similar to the existing office building adjacent
to this site.
PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION:
This development shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication and a cash trails dedication.
TREE PRESERVATION:
There are no tree mitigation issues relative to this proposal.
WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS:
This development is located in drainage basin A upstream of Cliff Lake. A portion of the development will discharge
runoff to an existing detention basin north of the proposed development, with the remainder discharged to a storm
water pond to the south that already receives runoff from Interstate 35E. Because of the small size of the development,
a cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding is recommended. There are no jurisdictional wetlands within the
development.
Staff recommends that:
• A cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding be required for water quality.
FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. This development shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication and a cash trails dedication.
2. This development shall be responsible for a cash water quality dedication.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Eagan

Eagan, MN 55122-1897
Re: Brown Property ("Pinetree Pass") revised Preliminary Plat application.
Rezoning of approximately 57.36 acres to R-1 and approximately 15.30
acres to Public Park. 127 lots.
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
Thank you for this opportunity to share with the city council our positions regarding the
development of the Brown Property. We remain very hopeful that we will be able to
continue with the development of another quality Lundgren Bros. neighborhood
Phone 612.473.1231
ty
Fax 612.473.7401 community of detached single family homes on this fine parcel of property in your city. It is
to be hoped that, with the concessions we have offered with this revised plan we will gain
ast Wayzata Boulevard your support and we can secure an affirmative vote at the city council meeting on
Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 November, 18, 1997. Time being of the essence.
Builder License No. 0001413 As you may expect, Lundgren Bros. was one of many real estate developers that
received from the Brown family a request for a proposal to acquire their family's land in
Eagan. We are certain that they received a multiple of offers to buy this parcel. Clearly,
the property remains one of the last large parcels in the city available for development,
and it is not inexpensive. For a long time Lundgren Bros. had hoped for an opportunity to
acquire this site. After months of healthy deliberation and negotiations Lundgren Bros.
was selected as the developer of choice. It is probably fair to say that Lundgren Bros.
and the Browns found together a common foundation of ideas and we are very pleased
that they had confidence in our ability to achieve success.
We then continued to submit to the city our application to subdivide the property into 129
residential single family detached lots. The centerpiece of our proposed neighborhood
was a hallmark feature that Lundgren Bros. has included in most all of its current
generation of neighborhood communities. This feature was a park to be owned by the
home owner's association of Pinetree Pass. Although there was general support for our
proposal, regrettably, the city staff and the Parks Commission could not support the park
component of it. Please, let me share briefly with you why we submitted the plan with the
home owners association park.
About Eight years ago Lundgren Bros. made a strategic decision to try to distinctly
differentiate its neighborhoods from its competition. We felt it no longer was good
enough to just provide good sites, an interesting curvilinear design, more landscaping
23.
and a strong entrance feature. We thought that with increased buyer expectations and
heightened competition, we were going to have to come up with an advantage that for the
consumer was definite. An advantage that spelled value. Periodically, over the years we
traveled around the country looking at how the best developers were creating
neighborhoods. We noticed that they often included in their developments, as an amenity
feature, home owner's association parks. We realized this concept was absent from new
neighborhoods being developed here in the Twin Cities. We found this idea intriguing and
conducted focus groups and did some additional research and decided this was a way we
could deliver greater value to our buyers while at the same time providing us with a
competitive advantage. In 1990 we developed Churchill Farms, our first neighborhood with a
home owner association park. Since then we have developed Longacres, Springfield,
Foxberry Farms, Heather Run, Plum Tree, Woodwinds and The Palisades at Nottingham all
with home owner's association parks. Similar neighborhoods are being planned now as this
feature has become a signature of many new Lundgren Bros. neighborhoods. The outcome
for us is that our customers like the idea and perceive it to be a value they can not find
elsewhere. We have also found that our customers find our home owner's association parks
to be a distinctly unique selling point for when they decide to sell their home. When we were
preparing the site plan for Pinetree Pass we believed the buyer demographics and the land
features provided an opportunity for us to include a home owner's association park there as
well.
At the neighborhood meetings and at the Parks Commission, much to our dismay the idea of
a park owned by the home owner's association did not sit well. The residents wanted this
10.9 acre space to be accessible to the public and appeared inclined to have its use remain
passive. However, ownership of the park land was not the only issue. There also were
discussions about the total amount of land being dedicated by Lundgren Bros. for public park
purposes. Some thought it should be a lot more. There were questions regarding the
amount of land dedicated for active park purposes as well. There was little consensus
whether what specific uses would be appropriate, or acceptable in the public park. We
judged the resident's sentiment for the uses (either passive or active) in the active public
park area as somewhat evenly split.
On October 28, 1997 we appeared before the city's Planning Commission and I am sorry to
say that our application was denied. If I may say, we are accustom to receiving an
affirmative vote, so I obviously was disappointed with the result. Nevertheless the Planning
Commission did what they thought was the right thing to do and I know from their comments
that they really wanted to approve the plan, but they just were not comfortable with the park
component as we presented it. As a result of the lack of support for our park plan and after
careful deliberation, we have now submitted to the city a revised plan. We have removed
from the plan the park owned by the home owner association and replaced it with a passive
public park. We also removed two lots allowing for direct street access and a parking lot for
the active park area and permitting the two park areas to be physically and visually linked
with one another. Although this revised plan does not match our strategic vision for new
Lundgren Bros. neighborhoods, we are now resigned for the need to move this application
along to salvage this project. We sincerely hope this compromise satisfies most everyone's
concerns and gives you substantive change that you can support.
With this revised plan we are trying to provide something for everyone while at the same
time attempting to keep this project marketing acceptable and economically feasible. A
24
business fact that we cannot ignore. We have eliminated the home owner's association park
as requested by the neighbors, Park Commissioners and Planning Commissioners. With the
revised plan we propose to dedicate, with a passive covenant, this 10.9 acre space as
passive public park. Along with this large passive park dedication, we have expanded the
active public parcel dedication by eliminating two lots from the plat. The revised Preliminary
Plat now contains 127 lots rather than 129 lots. From a financial perspective the elimination
of these two lots is very painful for Lundgren Bros. The expanded active public park
dedication by Lundgren Bros. is now 4.4 acres. The total gross acreage for park dedication
offered now by Lundgren Bros. equals 15.3 acres (21% of the total gross acreage of the
site). When the active public park dedication by Lundgren Bros. is combined with the
adjacent parcel already owned by the city (and earmarked for active public park) then the
active public park area now has 8.9 acres of land for active park development. Attached to
this letter is a memo to me from Rick Sathre of Sathre-Bergquist, consulting engineers and
planners, that explains all the calculations for the park dedication. We have included with
our revised plat a conceptual park layout for the 8.9 acre of active park area. This layout is
intended as a spatial need's analysis only. We used the city's park "goal" needs list to
establish a likely combination of active uses These include a:
1. Parking lot for 22 cars.
2. Serpentine 8' wide bituminous walking/biking trail
3. Child's play area.
4. Youth baseball field.
5. Youth soccer field.
6. Sliding hill.
7. Basketball or Volleyball court.
8. Open playfield area for informal field games.
While we are sure we have not been able to satisfy each item on everyone's list, we believe
this revised plat now has something to make almost everyone happy. This goes for us too.
We truly hope you can see that we have tried to be accommodating to as many people as
possible by granting concessions. We hope this new plan meets your satisfaction and that
you will lend your support.
For the Planning Commission meeting, we submitted to the city a memo outlining a number
of items in the Staff Report that we felt warranted further discussion. Since then, we met
with city staff and believe we have most of these matters worked out. This morning I
received a copy of a memo dated November 10, 1997 from John Gorder to Tom Colbert
dealing with these matters and I need to comment on a few of them as we continue to
disagree. We need these few items clarified by the City Council. The other items I believe
we have worked through. The items listed below. numerically correspond to those
referenced in the John Gorder's memo.
Item # 8 Condition 10 (Well Site)
Lundgren Bros. believes there are better alternatives for a well site than the one selected by
staff. Lundgren Bros. is willing to pay the $500. per site fee for this discovery as described in
the Staff Report and will work with the staff on this. More importantly however, we dispute
the suggestion in the staff report where it is implied that Lundgren Bros. should receive as
compensation for the taking of a lot for the well, only the value of unplatted property. We
ZS.
believe that we should be compensated at the fair market value for a fully developed lot.
Item # 11 Condition 12 (Trenton Lane)
This matter was discussed with John Gorder and we thought he had already agreed to leave
Trenton Lane intact. If the city decides it wants the Trenton Lane dead end removed, it
should be the city's responsibility. Because Trenton Lane is outside the boundary of the
Brown property Lundgren Bros. does not believe it has any responsibility to remove it. We
further believe that any road connection from Pinetree Pass to Trenton Lane is clearly
unwarranted due to grade changes and the six other external connections that already exist
into Pinetree Pass. We believe this connection would constitute poor land planning. This is
why we proposed not making the road connection and placing a trail there instead. We
prefer to leave Trenton Lane intact.
Financial Obligation
We continue to be perplexed and suspicous about any lateral benefit of the trunk water and
sewer lines described in the Staff Reports. We will continue to try and understand the city's
position on this.
Thank you very much for your consideration on this matter.
Very truly yours,

From: Rick Sathre
CC: 5401-512
Date: November 10, 1997
Re: PINETREE PASS Public Park
We have revised the Preliminary Development Plan for the PINETREE PASS neighborhood. The
10.9 acre Homeowners Association open space area has been converted to a Public Passive open
space. The Active Public Park area has been expanded from 3.7 acres to 4.4 acres, with the
elimination of two homesites. The total public park area is now 19.8 acres, including 4.5 acres already
in City ownership. Your park dedication would be 15.3 acres in this proposal.
We have added a Conceptual Park layout in the 8.9 acre, active park area. We used the City's park
"goal" needs list to establish a likely combination of active uses. These include a:
1) Parking lot for 22 cars
2) Serpentine 8' wide bituminous walking/biking trail
3) Child's play area near the parking lot
4) Youth baseball field (260' foul lines)
5) Youth soccer field (150' by 240)
6) Sliding Hill
7) Basketball or Volleyball court
8) Open playfield area for informal field games
This layout has not been endorsed by the City and is intended as a spatial needs study. We have
taken care to preserve the significant trees east of the parking area, as well as the trees in the north
central. knoll area. We assume that the play field areas and parking lot would be graded to create
plateaus for each specific use.
We have calculated the following areas to further explain the LBC park dedication proposal.
GROSS SITE AREA: 72.66 Acres
PARK DEDICATION AREA: 15.3 Acres = (21 % of gross area)
• Page 1
21
A portion of the PINETREE PASS site has been previously designated for regional storm water
ponding. In fact, 10.7 acres of the site has a Drainage & Utility Easement, already given to the City,
over it. City staff is investigating a new ponding alternative that will, potentially, raise the normal pond
level to 896.0, and revise the 100 year flood elevation to 904.7. Assuming this ponding revision, the
site's Net Useable area is changed.
The site area which would be flooded at the 896.0 normal pond level is 1.89 acres. The Passive
Public Park includes 1.81 acres of this normally flooded land.
The site area which would be flooded at the 904.7 elevation (100 year flood level) is 9.24 acres. The
Passive Public Park includes 7.47 acres of this 100 year floodplain.
The site area net of the normal level of the pond is 72.66 - 1.89 = 70.77 acres.
The site area net of the 100 year flood level is 72.66 - 9.24 = 63.42 acres.
The dry park at normal pond level is 44 acres "active" + 9.09 acres "passive" = 13.49 acres (19.1 %
of dry land) and (18.6 % of the gross site.)
The dry park at the 100 year pond level is 4.4 acres "active" + 3.43 acres "passive" = 7.83 acres
(12.3 % of dry land) and (10.8 % of the gross site.)

MEMO
city of eagan
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: NOVEMBER 12,1997
SUBJECT: 1998 PROPOSED PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION
BACKGROUND:
The Advisory Commission annually reviews parks and trails dedication fees and makes a
recommendation to the City Council for fees that take effect January 1.
HISTORY AND DISCUSSION:
Eagan's park dedication is based on average land values for the type of zoning (density).
Consequently, as land values increase so will park dedication fees. The net effect is to have the
developer make either a cash dedication or a land dedication of equal value.
Several years ago, Eagan added the park trails dedication. Only Eagan and Lakeville separate the
trails dedication from the parks dedication. The trail dedication fee is based on the cost to construct
trails and the number of miles of trails projected to be constructed throughout the City. Inflationary
costs to construct trails drives the increase in trail fees rather than land values, however.
Other Communities
Staff has again contacted several growth communities to find out what they are currently charging
for cash dedications.
• Plymouth charges $1,400 per residential unit without making any distinction between types of
residential units. In 1996, Plymouth charged $1,175. Changes for 1998 are to be reviewed in
January. Plymouth charges $4,500 per acre for commercial and industrial.
• Eden Prairie now charges $1,450 per residential lot and the developer is responsible for trail
construction. Staff does not have Eden Prairie's 1996 rates, however, in 1995 they charged $945
per unit. Eden Prairie charges $4,200 for commercial/Industrial.
• Maple Grove charges $1,060 per residential unit and 1998 charges have not yet been determined.
Industrial property is charged $2,775 per acre and commercial $3,600 per acre.
• Lakeville has not reviewed it's 1998 rates yet and last year had only a modest increase in park
and trail dedications ($25 each). Park dedication is now $925 per unit and trail dedication is
$225 per unit. Commercial/Industrial is based on 5% of market value.
Eagan's History.
Below are the dedication fees for 1995, 1996 and 1997. The column identified as land value reflects
values from 1997.
Average
1995 1996 1997 Market Value
Single Family $875 $950 $1,042 $25,900/acre
Duplex 791 884 1,038 25,900/acre
Townhouse/Quad 723 800 777 32,900/acre
Apartments/Multiple 726 775 772 35,900/acre
DISCUSSION:
Typically, staff has been able to review the history of land sales to help determine the park
dedication fees. Clearly, the current value for single family land is understated. The three
developments of significance this year, Murphy Farms, Pinetree Pass and Pulte Homes were all
reportedly in excess of $45,000 per acre. The City also has an appraisal of property adjacent to
Patrick Eagan Park (done in anticipation of a possible acquisition) for $25,000 per acre. An
argument can be made that each parcel is not "raw land" , but has access to utilities or has
improvements that increased the value of the property. With this as background, staff would
recommend that single family residential property be set at $30,000 per acre. This would increase
single family fees to $1,208 per unit. (Each $1,000 increase in land value would increase dedication
fees by about $40.00)
Multiple family dwellings have also increased, but the perception is that the increase is not as
significant as in single family homes. Staff had applied a 6% land value increase to 1997 values for
other than single/duplex to calculate proposed 1998 fees as follows.
Units per Cash Equivalent per
Housing type Average Market Value 100 population Residential Unit
Single family $30,000/acre 29.8 $1,208
Duplex 30,000/acre 30 $1,200
Townhouse/Quads 34,875/acre 50.8 $ 823
Apts/Multi 38,054/acre 55.8 $ 818
COMMERCIALANDUSTRIAL PARKS DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS:
Eagan's 1997 fee is $3,200 per acre, and when combined with trails dedication, nearly matches that
of Plymouth. Only Eden Prairie is higher. A $100 increase would match that of Plymouth and
would represent a land value of $56,000.
Commercial/Industrial $3,200/acre $56,000/acre land value
TRAILS DEDICATION:
Trails dedication fees are currently $150.00 per residential unit. This fee was not adjusted in 1997
because there did not seem to be any increase in construction costs; the primary ingredient that
makes up the trail fee. However, there was an increase noted this year, perhaps due to the busy
construction season. A modest increase to $160.00 is recommended for residential and $900.00 for
Commercial/Industrial.

CITY OF EAGAN
PARK DEDICATION POLICY
1997
POLICY ADOPTING STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR
DETERMINING THAT PORTION OF LAND BEING PLATTED,
SUBDIVIDED OR DEVELOPED WHICH IS TO BE CONTRIBUTED
TO THE CITY IN LIEU OF SUCH CONVEYANCE OR DEDICATION,
ALL AS PROVIDED BY SECTION 13.20 OF THE CITY CODE.
PURPOSE:
The City Council recognizes it is essential to the health, safety and welfare of the
residents of Eagan and persons working in Eagan, that the character and quality of the
environment be considered to be of major importance in the planning and development
of the City. In this regard the manner in which land is developed and used is of high
priority. The preservation of land for park, playground and public open space purposes
as it relates to the use and development of land for residential, commercial/industrial
purposes is essential to maintaining a healthful and desirable environment for all citizens
of the City. The City must not only provide these necessary amenities for our citizens
today, but also be insightful to the needs of future citizens.
It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park, playground and public
open space within a municipality is directly related to the density and intensity of
development permitted and allowed within any given area. Urban type developments
mean greater numbers of people and higher demands for park, playground and public
open space. To disregard this principle is to inevitably over-tax existing facilities and
thus, diminish the quality of the environment for all.
The City's Park Systems Plan Study has established minimum community criteria for
meeting the needs of the residents of Eagan. In order to meet the community needs for
parks and open space, 15 acres of park shall be required for each 1,000 residents of
which 12 acres shall be designated as neighborhood parks.
This shall be the standard upon which the City shall establish its parkland and parks cash
dedication.
It is the policy of Eagan that the following standards and guidelines for the dedication of
land for park, playground, and public open space purposes (or cash contributions in lieu
of such dedication) in the subdividing and developing of land within the city shall be
directly related to the density and intensity of each subdivision and development.
34

Page 2
2. RESIDENTIAL PARKLAND DEDICATION
The amount of land to be dedicated by a developer shall be based on the gross area of
the proposed subdivision, proposed type of dwelling unit and density. Census data for
1995 of 3.3 residents for single family, 3.3 for duplex, 1.97 for townhouse/quad. and
1.79 for apartments has been used as density standards for formulating calculations in
meeting the criteria of park needs of Eagan residents.
The formula for land dedication:
The greater of 1) proposed unit per acre 2) zones density.
DWELLING UNITS LAND TO BE DEDICATED
0 -1.9 units per acre 8%
1.9 - 3.5 units per acre 10%
3.5 - 5.9 units per acre 12%
6 -10 units per acre 14%
10+ units per acre Add .5% for each unit over 10
3. STANDARDS FOR ACCEPTING DEDICATION OF LAND FOR PUBLIC PARK
PURPOSES
A. Land proposed to be dedicated for public purposes shall meet identified needs of
the City as contained in the Park Systems Plan and Comprehensive Guide Plan.
B. Prior to dedication for public purpose, the subdivider shall deliver to the City
Attorney, an abstract of title or registered property abstract for such dedication.
Such title shall vest in the City good and marketable title, free and clear of any
mortgages, liens, encumbrances, assessments and taxes. The conveyance
documents shall be in such form acceptable to the City.
C. The required dedication and/or payment of fees-in-lieu of land dedication shall be
made at time of final plat approval.
D. The removal of trees, topsoil, storage of construction equipment, burying of
construction debris, or stockpiling of surplus is strictly forbidden without the
written approval of the Director of Parks and Recreation.
City of Eagan
1997 Park Dedication
Page 3
E. Grading and utility plans, which may affect or impact the proposed park
dedication, shall be reviewed and approved by the Parks and Recreation Director
prior to dedication, or at such time as reasonably determined.
F. To be eligible for park dedication credit, land dedicated is to be located outside of
drainways, flood plains or ponding area. Grades exceeding 12% or unsuitable for
parks development shall be considered for partial dedication.
Where ponding has been determined to have a park function, credit will be given
at a rate of 50% of the pond and adjoining land area below the high water level;
a minimum of 70% of land above the high water mark shall be dedicated before
pond credit is granted. Other City park dedication policies relating to pond
dedication must also be complied with.
In those cases where subdivider's and developers of land provide significant
amenities such as, but not limited to swimming pools, tennis courts, handball
fields, etc, within the development for the benefit of those residing or working
therein, and where, in the judgment of the Director of Parks and Recreation, such
amenities significantly reduce the demands for public recreational facilities to
serve the development, the Director of Parks and Recreation may recommend to
the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission that the amount of land to be
dedicated for park, playground and public open area space (or cash contributions
in lieu of such dedication) be reduced by an amount not to exceed 25% of the
amount calculated under paragraph 2 above.
G. The City, upon review, may determine that the developer shall create and
maintain some form of on-site recreation use by the site residents such as tot lots
and open play space. This requirement may be in addition to the land or cash
dedication requirement.
4. CASH DEDICATION
If, at the option of the City it is determined that a cash dedication shall be made, said
cash shall be placed in a special fund for Parks and Recreation use and deposited by the
developer with the City prior to final plat approval.
8(e -
City of Eagan
1997 Park Dedication
Page 4
The City Council, upon review and recommendation of the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission, shall annually determine by resolution the park cash dedication
fee per residential unit. Said fee shall be determined by the average market value of
undeveloped residential property by zoning classification, served by major City utilities,
divided by the number of units per acre which shall provide the equivalency of twelve
acres per thousand population.
Said cash dedication, effective January 1, 1997 shall be:
Cash Equivalent
Units Per Per Residential
Housing Type Average Market Value 100 Population Unit
Single Family $ 25,900 per acre 29.8 $1,042.00
Duplex $ 25,900 per acre 30 $1,038.00
Townhouse/Quad $ 32,900 per acre 50.8 $ 777.00
Apts/Multiple $ 35,900 per acre 55.8 $ 772.00
Cash dedication shall be determined/computed at the rate in effect at the time of final plat.
5. INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS
Subdivider's and developers of commercial/industrial land, including
commercial/industrial portions of Planned Developments, shall be required at the
time the site plan is approved and building permits are issued to dedicate to the
City for park, playground and public open space purposes, an amount of land up to
7.5% of the net land area within the development as determined by the City.
In those cases where the City does not require park or open space within such
developments, the City shall require payment of fees in lieu of such land dedication
in an amount equal to $3,200 per acre of net land area, or such amount as
determined by the City Council. Cash shall be contributed at the time of approval
of each final plat or at the time of site plan/building permit approval. The fee
dedication requirement for all commercial/industrial plats which have received site
plan approval prior to January 1, 1983, but have not been issued building permit,
approval from the City shall be in an amount equal to $.035' per sq. ft. of net land
which shall be contributed at the time of building permit approval.

A credit of up to 25% of the required dedication may be allowed by the City
Council for on-site storm sewer, water, ponding and settling basins provided that
such improvements benefit identifiable park and recreation water resources.
The City Council, upon review and recommendation of the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission, may annually review and determine by resolution, an
adjustment to the industrial/commercial fee based upon the City's estimate of the
average value of undeveloped commercial/industrial land in the City.
6. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS
Developers shall be responsible for making certain improvements to their
developments for park, playground and public open space purposes as follows:
A. Provide finished grading and ground cover for all park, playground, trail and
public open spaces within their development as part of their development
contract or site plan approval responsibilities. Landscape screening shall be
in accordance with City Policy.

The developer shall contact the appropriate Parks and Recreation
Department personnel for the purpose of identifying park property corners.
C. Provide sufficient public road access of no less than 300 feet for
neighborhood parks and additional frontage for community parks.
7. AUTHORITY
The State of Minnesota has recognized the importance of providing for parks and
open space in M.S.A. 462.358, Subdivision 2 (b) which clearly gives the right to
cities in its subdivisions regulations to require reasonable portions for public use.
The City of Eagan has, by this dedication policy, chosen to exercise this right in
establishing minimum requirements for meeting the public needs.

as set forth in the Eagan Comprehensive Guide Plan. The Eagan trial system is
designed to provide links between the various points of interest and public facilities
which exist and are planned within the community. To more adequately assure the
timeliness and priority of the completion of segments of the trail system, the

Comprehensive Plan, and it is located in whole or in part within the
proposed plat, it shall be designated as such on the plat and shall be
dedicated to the City of Eagan. If the subdivider elects not to dedicate an
area in excess of the land required hereinunder for such a proposed trail, the
City may consider acquiring the trail land through purchase or
condemnation.
E. Land area conveyed or dedicated to the City shall not be used in calculated
density requirements of the City zoning ordinance.

submitted to the City by the subdivider at the subdivider's expense.
The appraisal shall be made by appraisers who are approved
members of the MAI or equivalent real estate appraisal societies.
3. If the City disputes such appraisal, the City may, at the subdividers
expense, obtain a second appraisal of the property by an appraiser
who is a member of the MAI or equivalent real estate appraisal
societies. The second appraisal shall be conclusive evidence of the
fair market value of the land.
D. Planned Developments with mixed land uses shall make cash and/or trail
land contributions in accordance with this section based upon the
percentage of land devoted to the various uses.

city of eagan MEMO
TO: Advisory Parks Commission
FROM: Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation
Dorothy Peterson, Superintendent of Recreation
DATE: November 3, 1997
RE: Fees and Charges, Facility Uses, FY 1998 Proposal
FOR COMMISSION ACTION:
To review the proposed fees and charges for facility use during FY 1998. A
recommendation to the City Council is appropriate at this time.
FACTS:
• The level of fees charged for pavilion and shelter use in 1997 are comparable to
neighboring cities. Only the City of Bloomington was found to be higher.
• Revenue from 1997 pavilion and ballfield use is $28,250.
• Projected revenue for 1997 was $14,000.
• 18% of the 192 pavilion reservations in 1997 were made by non-residents. During
1996, 14% were non-resident.
• Non-resident youth athletic association travel sport requests to use fields in Eagan for
tournaments increased from 3 to 5 events in 1997. A non-resident rate for this
category would be consistent with department practice.
• EAA travel sports activity which requires game specific maintenance, projects increases
in the number of teams in 1998 which equates to more field preparations. A minor
adjustment in team fees is proposed. The last increase occurred in 1994. The
proposed increase amounts to less than 2% a year.
• A non-business hour youth group fee of $9/00 an hour for community room
reservations, which has been administered to cover costs of operation, is proposed for
official inclusion.
• An increase in rate for non-resident reserved use of the Trapp Farm Park tubing hill is
proposed to ensure covering the costs of seasonal salaries for large group events.
CONCERNS:
None, other than ensuring that fees continue to cover the costs of the service provided and
that residents are assured the most cost effective rates.

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
EAGAN CITY COUNCIL
Eagan, Minnesota
October 7, 1997
A special meeting of the Eagan City Council was held on Tuesday, October 7, 1997 at 5:00 p.m. in
the lunchroom of the Eagan Municipal Center building. Present were Mayor Egan and City Councilmembers Awada,
Blomquist, Masin and Wachter. Also present were Senior Planner Ridley, Planner Tyree, City Attorney Sheldon and
City Administrator Hedges.
BUS BENCH POLICY
City Administrator Hedges stated that at the April 1, 1997 Special City Council meeting, staff was
given direction to review bus bench policies in other communities and the draft ordinance of the MVTA and report
back to the City Council at a fall work session. He further stated that location, maintenance and advertising are the
main issues as to why the City Council suggested a policy that would adopt an ordinance to regulate bus benches
on public boulevards with certain conditions or consider the removal of all bus benches from boulevard properties.
Planner Tyree stated that the City of Eagan has approximately 85 benches located on public
boulevards, of which 62 are owned by U.S. Bench and 23 by National Courtesy Bench. She further stated that 25 of
the benches are donated by U.S. Bench to the MVTA for its advertising and, therefore, are not income-producing
benches. Planner Tyree provided a few additional comments about the staff report, outlining the options available to
the City if the City Council should choose to allow benches on public boulevards. City Councilmember Masin stated
that the benches that are located on MVTA routes should be given some consideration and further stated that input
from the MVTA staff , who were not invited to the meeting, would be valuable to the discussion. City Councilmember
Wachter stated that the bus benches are just a form of advertising, which the City has purposely restricted in public
right-of-way in the City Code. He further stated that to his knowledge no one uses the benches to sit on, further
stating that the benches are not located adjacent to a scheduled bus stop. City Councilmember Masin stated that
according to the MVTA staff, they have received complaints that the benches are not properly maintained and have
asked for benches at certain locations.
City Councilmember Blomquist stated that most of the bus benches are on county right-of-way
and, according to the staff report, the bus benches on county roads are in violation and the only reason they have
not been removed is due to their large number of priorities and limited maintenance staff. City Councilmember
Wachter stated that to his knowledge, the bus companies have never asked for permission from the City Council to
place the bus benches on the public boulevards. City Councilmember Masin stated that it is her understanding that
the companies have been notified that the City Code does prohibit bus benches; however, the companies were
waiting the study by the City Council to determine whether benches could be allowed under certain provisions on
public boulevards. She further stated that according to the MVTA, some benches are necessary. City
Councilmember Awada stated that if bus benches have a definite purpose and there is no cost to the MVTA and
City, they should be allowed; however, if there is no purpose, excluding the advertising, they should be removed.
City Councilmember Wachter stated that the bus benches do not serve a purpose and are an
obstacle for both snow removal and mowing. City Councilmember Masin stated that courtesy benches should be
provided on trails and parks. City Councilmembers concurred that courtesy benches with no advertising along
certain trails and in City parks provide a good public service and should be given further consideration. City
Councilmember Blomquist stated that locations for benches should be determined by the City, not the MVTA. City
Councilmember Awada stated that the bus benches should be removed and that staff should consider the placing of
courtesy, ornamental benches in parks and trails where needed without any advertising. City Administrator Hedges
stated that the City has a fair number of courtesy benches that have been constructed by the Park Maintenance
crew existing in City parks and along the Highline Trail.
Mayor Egan asked the City Attorney if the City in any way violates the First Amendment if the bus
benches, with advertising, are removed. The City Attorney's reply was no.
City Administrator Hedges stated that if the City Council would like all bus benches to be removed,
it would be important for the City Attorney to share some comments about the process. City Attorney Sheldon stated
that the City can direct the removal of the bus benches by a letter from the City Administrator stating that they are in
direct violation of the City Code as a criminal proceeding or adopt an ordinance that requires removal of the bus

benches which would place this item on a regular City Council agenda for input by the bus bench companies and
MVTA. After a brief discussion, there was consensus by the City Council that the City Administrator prepare a letter
to bus bench companies informing them that the bus benches must be removed by the end of October. There was
also City Council consensus that the APrC be given direction to consider additional ornamental, courtesy benches in
City parks and trailways for use by the public.

KINSENT AGENDA
Michael Vincent moved, Terry Davis seconded with all members voting in favor to make the
following recommendations to the City Council:
1. Murphy Farm 2nd Addition - Springbrook Corporation
• This development shall be responsible for a cash trails dedication.
• Individual Lot Tree Preservation Plans will be required for Lots 1, 2 and 3 at the time of
building permit application. No tree removal or grading can occur prior to approval of
the submitted Tree Preservation Plan.
• Tree Protective measures (i.e. 4 foot polyethylene laminate safety netting) shall be
installed at the Drip Line or at the perimeter of the Critical Root Zone, whichever is
greater of significant trees/woodlands to be preserved during Individual lot
development.
• The applicant shall be required to contact the City Forestry Division at least five days
prior to the Issuance of the grading permit to ensure compliance with the approved
Tree Preservation Plan.
• This development shall be subject to a cash water quality dedication.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
PINETREE PASS - LUNDGREN BROS. CONSTRUCTION
Following a brief introduction by Superintendent Olson, Planner Tyree provided background for this
proposed development. Tyree stated that Lundgren Brothers is proposing a Rezoning of approximately 75
acres from Agriculture to R-1, Single Family, and a Preliminary Subdivision of 129 lots and 4 outlots. The
site Is located south of Cliff Road, west of Walden Drive, Lane and Park, east of Cambridge Drive and
Covington Lane and north of Wellington Way, in the NE 1 /4 of Section 33. It was noted that the single
family lots average 15,800 s.f. with an overall gross density of 1.8 units per acre. Access to the site is from
a proposed southerly extension of Thomas Lake Road from Cliff Road, four connections to Covington and
one from Walden Lane. Tyree concluded by stating that this item will appear before the Advisory Planning
Commission on October 28.
Water Resources Coordinator Brasch stated that Pond BLP-6, a designated nutrient trap Is located in
the southern portion of this site. This pond discharges through a lift station to a small sediment basin north
of Cliff Road (BP- 12) which then discharges to Thomas Lake. Brasch noted that In earlier site development
proposals the developer had proposed grading treatment ponds to treat water prior to discharge to Pond
BLP-6. Staff, however is suggesting that the normal water level of BLP-6 be raised from its normal water
level of 892 to 898. This option would satisfy water quality treatment requirement and would create a
more esthetic amenity. The higher normal water elevation would also maintain pond areas deep enough to
be permanently free of emergent vegetation while the gentle side slopes associated with the existing
topography and reduced water level fluctuations should allow development of a solid emergent fringe.
Advisory Parks Commission
Minutes of October 20, 1997 Regular Meeting
Page 3
Forestry Supervisor Hove explained that the majority of the vegetation is on the south 1 /3 of the
property. He went on to describe the variety of species present. Hove then stated that since the report was
written a revised tree preservation plan has been received with several changes from what was presented to
the Commission. The revised inventory consisted of 849 significant trees. Site preparation during initial
phase development would result in the removal of 286 (33.7% of the total) significant trees. Hove
explained that during the initial phase of this two-phase, residential, multiple lot development, 25% of the
existing significant vegetation can be removed. An additional 20% can then be removed during the second
phase of individual lot development. The developer can also choose to perform total site preparation which,
in this case, would allow the removal of 40% of the significant vegetation. Hove added that the applicant is
proposing to perform site preparation on 111 (86%) of the sites 129 lots. The allowable removal limits for
the initial development stage has been set at 37.9% (321 trees). Since the development proposes significant
tree removal at 33.7% (37.9% is allowed) there is no tree preservation mitigation. The revised plan
proposes to custom grade the remaining 18 lots in the south 1 /3 of the site which will require an Individual
Lot Tree Preservation Plan at the time of Building Permit application.
Member Markel[ asked about the concept of applying conservation easements in areas where trees
will be preserved. Supervisor Hove indicated that this issue had been approached with the developer and
could be discussed further if necessary.
Superintendent Olson explained that this 72 acre development would be responsible for a 7.2 acre
dedication. The developer has proposed to dedicate 3.2 acres for parkland with the balance in cash.
As background, Superintendent Olson stated that the development is in Park Service Area 33 which
is bounded by Cliff Road to the north, Pilot Knob to the east, Johnny Cake Ridge Road to the west and
Dakota County's Lebanon Regional Park to the south. Currently there are 762 households in this service
area with an additional 150± projected at full build out. This represents a potential estimated population of
2,500±. Olson noted that the Parks Master Plan identifies a typical neighborhood park to be 8-12 useable
acres in size. When Walden Heights was developed, 4.5 acres were dedicated for parkland. It was planned
that additional parkland would be dedicated when the Brown property to the west was developed.
Superintendent Olson then identified components typically considered for neighborhood parks
including balifield, soccer field, open play area, playground (10,000 s.f.), volleyball, trail (8 ft. wide at 5%
slope), parking (18-22), unmaintained area, sliding hill, park entrance, preservation of existing condition,
play court, picnic area/sun shelter, pedestrian access, security light and sensitivity to neighbors. Olson briefly
reviewed the developer's proposal that showed a 3.2 acre land dedication with the balance of parks
dedication to be cash.
Several concepts for park development were shared with residents on October 14. Concept Plan A,
which used the developer's proposal for land dedication showed minimal park development and a "walk-in"
access from the street. This plan also incorporated the ponding area on the southern portion of the site as a
private area for the future residents of Pinetree Pass. Concept Plans B and C showed park development using
some of the proposed Pinetree Pass lots to help meet the 7.2 acre parkland dedication. These plans also
showed trail access to the ponding area the developer has proposed for private use. Superintendent Olson
concluded that the developer has expressed his desire to take the proposed development with the 3.2 acre
land dedication, as is, through the process to the CityCouncil.
Bill Anner, representing Lundgren Brothers began by explaining that their company has been in the
business for the past 27 years and is the 4-5th largest builder in the Twin Cities. Their goal during
development is to develop parks and amenities that homeowners' associations can benefit from. Mr. Anner
clarified that they have not agreed to a conservation easement relative to tree preservation as had been
mentioned previously. They do like the concept for increasing the water level of the ponds, however, they
are still investigating this option to see if permits can be obtained since it is wetlands that will be flooded.
Advisory Parks Commission
Minutes of October 20, 1997 Regular Meeting
Page 4
Mr. Anner continued that the Browns had several options to sell their property but selected
Lundgren Brothers because they were proposing a single family development. He stated that early In the
development Lundgren had met with the Parks Department and were told they wanted a mirror Image of the
existing park property. He said it appears that there is some confusion as to what land should actually be
parkland. Anner stated that at both the developer's meeting and the park planning meeting many people
said they wanted passive space but there was no consensus as to what should be in the park. He also noted
that the economic viability of park concept B or C would compromise the project. Typically in their
developments the lots run down to the center of the pond. In this case, Anner continued, the homeowners
association will own the ponding similar to a common area that many multi-family developments have.
Anner concluded by stating that their proposal is a viable option and if they are not allowed to develop this
proposal the neighborhood may see commercial or multi-family development on this site.
Member Markell asked how much land in the "common area" was above the high water level. Mr.
Anner responded approximately 3-3.5 acres. Markell then asked how the use of the open space would be
monitored. Mr. Anner stated it was more of an insurance issue since the association would be responsible for
that area. He added that there is the option of placing a trail between the ponds once the water level is
raised but it would still remain in the ownership of the homeowners association.
Superintendent Olson noted that feedback forms had been returned from residents who attended
the park planning meeting. The forms received to date have indicated a preference for Concept C Olson
stated. This item will appear on the October 28 Advisory Planning Commission agenda and the November
18 City Council agenda, Olson added.
Paul Cero, 4876 Richard Lane stated that he would use this park adding that the City has excellent
parks. He did agree that there were many parks in Eagan but accessibility was an issue for his children.
Bounded by major streets, this neighborhood is required to drive their children to a park and Mr. Cero
opined that a park that can be used by everyone is critical to maintain a sense of neighborhood. He added
that neither the existing neighborhood nor the community would benefit from a "private park". He opined
that neighbors surrounding this development would be uncomfortable going through the "private area" and
that the homeowners association would have the legal right to keep non-association members out. Cero
concluded that he would rather wait for another development to come through than to rush into a park
development that would not serve the neighborhood, as the developer has proposed.
Dennis Beckley, 1465 Thomas Lane stated that the consensus of the neighborhood is simply that
there is not enough land proposed for a park, not necessarily that it be active or passive. He then expressed
his concern that the water quality of Thomas Lake not be impacted from this proposed development.
Coordinator Brasch responded that on-site ponding will protect Thomas Lake.
Steve Yahn, 1467 Thomas Lane agreed that the existing Walden Heights Pond park was
topographically challenged. He expressed his concern for what appears to be a zeal to wedge so many
activities into the park property. He stated his preference for leaving the park open and natural, size and
location as proposed by the developer.
Annette Degnan, 4612 Cambridge Drive explained that they built their home In 1983 and have
been waiting a long time for this park. Although they are not big users of organized space they understand
the need to provide that for residents. She agreed that all the components talked about may not be
appropriate for this park but reiterated the need for a park that the entire park service area can access.
Advisory Parks Commission
Minutes of October 20, 1997 Regular Meeting

Member Vincent noted that in looking at the proposal as presented the only agreement heard from
residents is that more land Is needed for this park. Once the issue of sufficient parkland has been addressed
then more specific Ideas can be Incorporated Into a park plan.
Member Rudolph stated that although there are differences of opinion relative to this being a natural
or developed park the constant element expressed by residents In this area Is that there should not be a
private park. Rudolph opined that this development does not meet the concerns expressed.
After further brief discussion, John Rudolph moved, Terry Davis seconded with all members voting
in favor to recommend that the 3.2 acre parkland dedication, as proposed by the developer, Is not sufficient,
therefore Is not acceptable.
Terry Davis moved, Daryle Petersen seconded with all members voting In favor to make the
following recommendations to the City Council relative to Pinetree Pass:
1. Individual Lot Tree Preservation Plans will be required for the following lots at the time of
building permit application:
Block 5: Lots 10, 11, 12
Block 8: Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14
Block 10: Lots 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
2. Tree Protective measures (i.e. 4 foot polyethylene laminate safety netting) shall be required to
be installed at the Drip Line or at the perimeter of the Critical Root Zone, whichever is greater,
of significant trees/woodlands to be preserved during both initial site development and individual
lot development.
3. Grading and tree preservation plans shall be reviewed with the City Forestry Division before each
phase of the project.
4. The applicant shall contact the City Forestry Division at least five days prior to the Issuance of
the grading permit to ensure compliance with the approved Tree Preservation Plan.
5. The developer shall meet water quality treatment requirements entirely through on-site ponding
by raising the normal water level of Pond BLP-6 to an elevation of 898 MSL. The pond design,
Including shaping, clearing/grubbing, and re-laying of pipe, should be approved by the water
resources coordinator.
6. Filling or draining of the two jurisdictional wetlands on the site is prohibited.
BCBSM EAST ADDITION - DELTA DENTAL
Planner Tyree explained that Blue Cross Blue Shield Minnesota, Inc Is requesting a Preliminary
Subdivision consisting of one lot on 16.17 acres and two outlots on 27.131 acres: Delta Dental Is
proposing to move its corporate headquarters to this location located at the NE Intersection of Blue Cross
Road and Ashbury Road in the NE 1 /4 of Section 17 and the N/W 1 /4 of Section 16. The plan indicates
the two phase development of a 126,000 s.f. three story office building and 332, 9' parking stalls with
Phase I and 312 parking stalls with Phase II. Access Is proposed from Blue Cross Road and Ashbury Road.
It is anticipated that Phase I will occur in the spring of 1998 and Phase 11 sometime In 2003 or 2004, Tyree
concluded.

Superintendent Olson stated that the parks dedication has been fulfilled with the dedication of Sky
Hill Park but that the development would be responsible for a cash trails dedication. Forestry Supervisor
Hove reviewed the tree preservation Issues noting that of the 102 significant trees on site 25 would be
removed. Since this Is 24.5% of the 30% alalowable removal for this development there Is not tree
preservation mitigation, Hove concluded.
Water Resources Coordintor Brasch explained that runoff from this development will discharge to Pond CP-6
and eventually to Pond CP-9 a flooded gravel pit in Ft. Snelling State Park. Because the site is not suitable
for construction of a detention basin that meets City standards, staff proposes the use of a landscaped
extended detention basin and drain system to promote Infiltration of parking lot runoff for this site In order
to address water quality and storm water routing concerns. To the extent that an infiltration system Is not
sufficient to satisfy treatment requirements, a cash dedication would be required.
Ken Horns representing Delta Dental stated they had looked at siting the building to preserve as
much vegetation as possible. The southwest corner appeared to be the best location. The developer agrees
with recommendations made by staff relative to trails dedication, tree preservation and the fact that storm
water detention doesn't fit on the site easily without losing trees. They will be researching the option for
Infiltration further.
Member Vincent commented on the amount of parking shown for this development. Mr. Horns
responded that they are providing parking as required by the City. They have discussed the option of
deleting the smaller east parking area and Incorporating It into the existing lot. Another option that can be
pursued Is to show proof of parking and only put in what is actually needed at this time. Planner Tyree
added that proof of parking Is typical for a plan this size. The City wants to make sure parking Is available if
the owner of the building changes.
Member Kubik asked if there would be plantings within the parking lot. Planner Tyree responded
that developers are required to provide 5% of the parking area with plantings.
Following further brief discussion, Michael Vincent moved, George Kubik seconded with all
members voting In favor to make the following recommendations to the City Council relative to BCBSM East
Addition - Delta Dental:
1. This development shall be responsible for a cash trails dedication.
2. Tree Protective measures (i.e. 4 foot polyethylene laminate safety netting) shall be required to
be Installed at the Drip Line or at the perimeter of the Critical Root Zone, whichever Is greater,
of significant trees/woodlands to be preserved during Initial site development.
3. To require that the applicant contact the City Forestry Division at least five days prior to the
Issuance of the grading permit to ensure compliance with the approved Tree Preservation Plan
4. The developer shall meet water quality mitigation requirements through construction of features
designed to promote Infiltration of runoff from parking areas of the site. To the extent that the
infiltration features are inadequate to meet the removal effectiveness of a conventional NURP
basin, a cash dedication will be required.

EAGAN SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY-JOHN B. GOODMAN LTD. PARTNERSHIP
Associate Planner Dudziak explained that John B. Goodman Limited Partnership is requesting a
Preliminary Subdivision to create two lots on 6.53 acres. The proposal Includes demolitoin of the existing
Eagandale Atheltic Club building and redevelopment of the site with a Sidney's restaurant and a senior
retirement center consisting of 151 independent and assisted housing units. The restaurant would be located
in the northwest portion of the site adjacent to Pilot Knob Raod and the senior housing favility would be
located on the eastern portion of the site.
Superintendent Olson stated that this development would be responsible for a cash parks dedication
and for installing a trail on the south side of Marice Drive to Sherman Court.
Supervisor Hove noted there are 3 significant trees on site and 51,900 square feet of significant
woodlands. Site preparation for this development as proposed will removal 100% of the significant trees
and woodlands which substantially exceeds the 47.5% allowed. The mitigation for this proposal calculates to
114 Category B trees or a cash mitigation of $34,200.00. Hove continued that the developer has
submitted a landscape/tree mitigation plan that fulfills the Tree Preservation mitigation requirements with a
combination of tree installation and cash payment.
Coordinator Brasch explained that runoff from this development will discharge to a large sediment
basin on the Unisys property to the west. Currently this pond discharges to Pond CP-9, a flooded gravel pin
in Ft. Snelling Park designated as a recreational water body. The developer proposes to meet al water quality
mitigation requirements through on-site ponding and Brasch noted that there are no jurisdictional wetlands
on the site.
John Bunker representing John B. Goodman Ltd. explained that the senior living facility will be a
flagship site to bring investor to see. Member Petersen asked If the developer agreed with the trail
recommendations. Mr. Bunker responded that they do. Member Davis asked if all parking would be above
ground. Bunker responded that 42 parking spaces would be underground. The owners prefer more green
space over parking. Member Kubik asked if there was open space provided for the seniors. Bunker
responded that the interior of the building would provide a 4 story atrium with several services provided on
the first floor. He continued that residents are typically in the 70-85 year old range in this congregate living
facility. Member Kubik expressed concern that Pilot Knob is the nearest park to these folks. Mr. Bunker
responded that they typically add nature or walking trails at their sites for the residents to use if they wish.
Michael Vincent moved, Daryle Petersen seconded with all members voting in favor to make the
following recommendations to the City Council relative to EaganSenior Living Community - John B.
Goodman Ltd.
1. This development shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication.
2. This development shall be responsible for Installing a trail on the south side of Marice Drive
to Sherman Court.
3. A revised Tree Preservation Plan shall be submitted for staff review which will include details
as to how tree preservation mitigation will be fulfilled.
4. This development shall meet its water quality mitigation requirements entirely through on-
site ponding and the pond design shall be approved by the City's water resources
coordinator.

KIOSK UPDATE
Superintendent Peterson reminded the Commission that they had referred review of trails
Information kiosks to the Recreation Subcommittee after intern Craig Walters presented his report in August.
The subcommittee agreed that the objective was to provide trail information at key locations in the city.
They prioritized kiosk locations at Silver Bell Road at Highway 13, Pilot Knob Road at the Highline Trail,
Nicols and Dodd Road ends of the Highline Trail, Pilot Knob Road at 494 and the existing kiosk at Pilot
Knob and Cliff Roads. After reviewing various kiosk designs, the consensus of the subcommittee was to
customize arched playground posts for the framework of the kiosk to offer a more attractive and playful
appearance.
Landscape Architect/Parks Planner Lilly then reviewed issues identified for incorporation into kiosk
design Including attractiveness, durability, vandal resistance, and quality of graphics. The initial design used
painted Landscape Structures tubing formed into either a single arch or double arch, 10 feet tall and 3 feet
wide. The signage area would be either 3' x 4' or 3' x 2' with an 1/8" Lexan cover over the graphic. This
type of cover could be easily removed and replaced in the case of vandalism or normal wear and tear. Lilly
then reviewed the options for placing the graphics on the sign. This can be accomplished through EFA with
a product available in limited colors. Their staff can do the graphics work at a rate of $165/hour or the
graphics can be done internally. It is anticipated that it would be most cost effective to do the work
internally using the GIS capabilities the city has. Vomela has a vinyl screened product used by Hennepin
Parks, however, it is approximately 32% more expensive than the EFA signage product Lilly stated. In
reviewing total cost options, a single arch kiosk with no roof, using EFA for the two faced logo and mat,
graphics and installation done in-house would cost approximately $1,250 per kiosk. Double arch design
would cost $2,500 per kiosk. Using the Vomela product would cost $1,850 for a single arch and $1,650
for a double arch kiosk design.
Member Kubik asked if removable pamphlets and consideration for visually Impaired people would
be Incorporated In the design. Planner Lilly responded that accommodation for pamphlets was considered but
addressing visually impaired issues would need to be explored.
Member Markell asked if grants dollars were available for this project. Planner Lilly stated that kiosks
placed on county roads would be eligible for cost sharing with the county. Member Petersen suggested
pursuing the option of private funding for some'of the kiosks.
After further discussion, Michael Vincent moved, George Kubik seconded with all members voting
in favor to recommend that staff proceed to the design/development phase of kiosk signage using the EFA,
single arch design.
EW BUSINESS
SHORELAND ZONING REGULATIONS
Coordinator Brasch stated that the CityCouncil recently reviewed proposed revisions to the City's
Shoreland Zoning ordinance and directed staff to review several of the revisions with the Parks Commission.
Generally the ordinance regulates use of the shoreline as well as use within a zone extending back 1000 feet
from the ordinary high water level of the water bodies Identified in the ordinance. Eight of the 24 lakes
identified are within Lebanon Hills Park and one within Ft. Snelling Park. All but two are classified
recreational water bodies in the City's water quality management plan.
Advisory Parks Commission
Minutes of October 20, 1997 Regular Meeting
Page 9
The first change proposed was that the minimum lot size within the shoreland zone that are served
by a septic tank and drainfleld was reduced from 10 acres down to 80,000 square feet for shoreline lots and
40,000 square feet for lots that do not have shoreline frontage but line within the 1,000 foot shoreland
zone. The second change made clear that the minimum lot width requirements must be met at the shoreline
as well as at the building line. The third change specified storm water treatment requirements for
developments within the shoreland zone and made them consistent with the requirements in Eagan's water
quality management plan. The fourth change prohibited commercial, industrial and multi-family residential
uses within the shoreland zones of natural environment lakes and within unsewered shoreland areas of other
protected lakes.
Member Petersen questioned the minimum lot width at the shoreline as well as the building line.
Coordinator Brasch clarified that the intention was to eliminate pie shaped lots. Member Filipi asked how
likely septic tanks and drainflelds would be installed on shoreline lots. Brash responded that there are very
few in existence. Member Filipi expressed his concern for cutting back the size under any circumstances.
After further brief discussion, Michael Vincent moved, Michael Zwiefel seconded with all members
voting in favor to accept the revisions as presented regarding the acceptability of the proposed revisions to
the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance.
BUDGET UPDATE
Superintendent Peterson explained that during the budget process staff is directed by the Council to
submit a no growth, 5% decrease, 5% increase, and no limit budget proposals. The City Administrator then
made his recommendation for a 3.5% overall department budget increase to the Council. Following the
August 26 workshop, the Council requested additional information about boulevard mowing and directed
staff to identify means to close the gap between Recreation revenue and expenses.
At a workshop on September 30 the Council reviewed boulevard mowing and decided to make no
change in the budget at this time. As they reviewed the issue of dosing the gap between recreation revenue
and expenses they focused their attention on entrepreneurial opportunities rather than cutting back on
existing programs. Peterson noted that the September 23, 1997 memo identified several potential
opportunities for the Council to consider. Staff was directed to look into these opportunities and bring them
to the Advisory Commission and Council for further consideration and direction. Superintendent Peterson
concluded that the goal is to bridge the gap during the next 7-8 years.
Member Markell asked if the entire Commission should hold a workshop for this Issue or if the
Recreation Subcommittee could handle it. Superintendent Peterson responded that the Recreation
Subcommittee could continue working on this issue and bring it back to the Commission. Member Davis
reminded the Commission that they had identified entrepreneurial opportunities during their CIP review.
Superintendent Peterson added that this is being presented to the Commission for informational purposes
only.
P4R10DEVEJL-OPME' UPDATE
Items reviewed by Planner Lilly Included completion of landscaping around Trapp Farm Park
,Thomas Lake Park and Lexington Diffley Athletic entrance signage. He also noted that the parking lot
expansion at Lexington Diffley Athletic has begun with an anticipated completion date of November 3.

SKYLINE DISPLAYS ATTACHMENT
Superintendent Peterson brought the Commission's attention to Information provided by Skyline
Display. Their business is currently located in Burnsville and they have recently purchased property from
Dart Transit on the northeast corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington Avenue. They have expressed a
desire to work on a park project as part of their development similar to the project they initiated in
Burnsville; Skyland Park on Cliff Road. Skyline has begun discussions with the Department relative to this
potential development, Peterson continued. Director Vraa has asked that a member of the Commission be
appointed to serve on this planning committee and that an alternate be selected also. After a brief
discussion, John Rudolph volunteered to serve as the Commission representative with Michael Vincent
serving as the alternate.
ROUND TARN
Member Rudolph shared a call he received following the Commission's September discussion with
the Cralgs relative to the encroachment into Wandering Walk Park. He stated the caller shared her
perspective on the situation and how the Commission had resolved it. Commission members agreed that this
is the kind of input that is helpful. Member Davis asked for an update on the Craig's situation.
Superintendent Olson stated that they have begun to remove the playground structure as directed by the
Commission.
Member Kubik asked if staff would consider doing a maintenance demonstration in the spring to
make the Commission more familiar with equipment and procedures for parks maintenance. Superintendent
Olson stated that staff would be happy to provide that information to the Commission.
?DJOURNMENT
With no further business to conduct, John Rudolph moved, Michael Vincent seconded with all
members voting in favor to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m.

Our history.. .
The 7 acre Holz Farm was purchased by the City
of Eagan in January of 1995. In May of 1995, a
Task Force was formed to explore the uses for
such a site. Their report was submitted to the
city council in March of 1996. The
recommendation was to restore the buildings and
grounds to the 1940's era. The time period was
unique for historic farms in the metro area.
1940 was significant at Holz Farm for several
reasons. Up until then, horses pulled the
implements. In 1940, the first tractor was
purchased and they also hooked up to electricity.
The lifestyle was heavily impacted by the Great
Depression and soon to be affected by World
War 11. The Task Force also had in mind that
resources, in the form of people and artifacts, are
still available to draw upon.
To assist the City of Eagan with this endeavor, a
non-profit group called Friends of the Farm was
created. Their purpose is to carry out the
mission laid out by the Task Force for Holz
Farm. Most of the fund-raising, programming
and restoration will be developed through this
volunteer organization.
Restoration of the house and outbuildings has
been the major thrust of efforts to date. Some
fund-raising has brought in dollars to accomplish
the projects. School group tours and special
events have generated income and exposure to
the public. The groundwork is being
accomplished for long-term growth.
