MEMO
city of eagan
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: OCTOBER 16,1998
SUBJECT: OCTOBER COMMISSION MEETING
We are trying to extend summer as long as possible, and to that end we have scheduled one more park tour this
month. Once again, you (I'm gone this week so I can't use "we") will meet on the east side of City Hall where
Dorothy and Paul will act as tour guides.
This month has a relatively light agenda. There are no Consent item issues or Development items (a first!) this
month.
The first item under Old Business can again be deferred. Skyline Displays has revised their original drawing to
include an amphitheater, which the Rotary Club is very interested in. This new plan was shown at the workshop
on October 5th. City Administrator Hedges is considering how best to proceed with this issue with such a diverse
group of stakeholders. Being considered is a joint Council, Commission, Rotary Club and Skyline Display
meeting to discuss the project. As of the time of this writing, no decision has been made. If there is an update it
will be shared at the Commission meeting.
The second item is a request from Floyd Forsberg that a dedication of parkland be returned to him. Staff
previously provided the Commission with correspondence with Mr. Forsberg. He is apparently now looking for
the Commission to make a recommendation on this issue. Attached are the previous materials that restate the
request and issue for consideration.
The Commission is asked to approve the proposed five-year Capital Improvements Program for parks from the
Park Site Fund. Attached is a memo that provides the Commission with background information following our
workshop meeting of October 5. The Commission should take an action that recommends the CIP for the entire
five-year period, but more importantly, the proposed projects for 1999.
The next item is the result of a petition received from residents adjacent to Highview Park asking that portable
toilets be placed near the playground. This is not the first time the department has received a similar request. A
staff memo outlines the issue for discussion.
There are no parks development or water resource items this month.
'Staff will make a presentation on the GPS (Global Positioning System) park inventory that was undertaken by
department staff this summer. We felt members would find very informative and perhaps generate other ideas as
to how this technology might be utilized.
Sub-Committee update for any meetings held recently and a brief update on the pool is also on the agenda.
Have a good meeting! See you all in November.
Respectfully submitted,
Ken Vraa
Director of Parks and Recreation

Department Happenings
For October 1998
1. The City Council has authorized the hiring of a new Program and Events Supervisor position in the Recreation
Division. The individual selected will have the responsibility of the winter rink staff therefore an October hire date is
important.
2. Although fall recreational activities have only recently begun, staff has completed plans for winter programs. The next
issue of the Discover Us! Brochure will be distributed in the community during a November 3-13 time frame.
3. Adam Kent, Recreation Intern, Paula Nowariak and Sonya Rippe are in the throes of planning the Halloween Terror
and Treat Trails to be held at Northview Park on October 26. At this writing, additional volunteers are needed to make
the event fun for all of the families who attend.
4. Lone Oak Days and Holz Farm were well attended. Friends of the Farm realized a profit from the hayrides and food
booth. Department staff were on site for much of the event in one capacity or another.
5. Small Moon Viewing was held on September 24. A small but enthusiastic group of would be astronomers enjoyed the
experience of viewing the moon and stars through 100 power telescopes.
6. The Civic Arena skating school has gotten off to a smooth beginning. Skating School Coordinator, Becky Schmid has
everything organized, instructors are in place so it is "on to the fun" for all participants.
7. EAA fall activities are drawing to a close. Travel soccer and football will complete their runs on October 17. It would
be interesting to know how many miles of field marking paint were used in 1998!
8. National Youth Sports Coaching Association certification clinics are planned for the EAA basketball program. This
program focuses on working with children rather than on a specific sport. The clinics always create spirited and
interesting discussion.
9. Activities for seniors this month include a trip to Emma Krumbies and Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard and an
influenza immunization clinic. Staff has also arranged for The Sunshine Girls to entertain at the regular meeting at
Oak Woods.
10. Eagan High School tennis and Dakota Hills Middle School physical education and soccer activities are approaching the
end of their fall use of Northview Park facilities. Parks maintenance can soon take down wind screens and store soccer
goals.
11. Registrations for the October sessions of classes offered by the Arts and Humanities Council are being well received.
Several sections are full. A new scout badge offering has generated much interest.
12. Staff are looking forward to the annual Minnesota Recreation and Park Association conference in early November.
The conference is being held in Bandana Square this year. The program of sessions appears to be very strong this year.
South of the River Recreators Dan Schultz from Rosemount and Susan Muelken from Savage are program chairs.
13. The preschool classes enjoyed their first trip to Appleside Orchard last week. For many of the children it was their first
time riding the big yellow bus! The kids received a ride on the hay wagon, picked & tasted apples and sampled honey
and apple cider. Pumpkin parties are the next special event for the preschoolers.
14. School is out on October 15 & 16. Sixty children are scheduled to participate in the Swim & Gym activity on
Thursday. On Friday a Camping Exploration program and Skateville trip is planned.
15. The "Forever Green" tree distribution took place this last weekend. 1,000 trees were distributed from 3 sites on Friday
and Saturday. 3,000 additional trees will be available next spring.
16. Forestry staff led a group of 120 4t' grade students from Glacier Hills Elementary School through Patrick Eagan Park.
Topics included trees, natural resources and wildlife in the park system.
17. Staff has completed the installation of landscape materials in the parking lot islands and areas along the walkway
corridors at Lexington-Diffley. Approximately 100 trees and 300 shrubs were planted.
18. The installation of plant materials around the aquatic center has begun. Dakota County staff has assisted with the
planting of materials on the library site.
19. The service buildings at Lexington-Di$ley are nearing completion. Minor interior finishing, the paving of the
surrounding slab and punch list items remain.
20. Water to most of the seasonal park facilities has been shut off and winterization completed.
21. The Dakota County Sentence-to-Service crew assisted with the installation of the new safety surface for the recently
installed play structure at Highview Park.
22. Fall fertilization is underway. The dry weather has limited the growth of broadleaf weeds in turf areas, thereby
reducing the need for herbicide application.
23. The concrete and block work for the new pavilion at Lexington-Diffley is nearly complete. The beams salvaged from
the Fire Administration building will be installed and decked within the next few weeks.
24. Staff assisted the School District staff with the reconstruction of the "Green Monster" at the varsity baseball field by
forming and pouring the concrete base.
25. The cedar shingles at the Thomas Lake pavilion have been replaced with asphalt shingles that have a similar
appearance. The cedar shingles were often pulled off the roof and used for fires. All cedar shingles will eventually be
replaced.
26. Staff has completed the renovation of the "old Rahn" shelter building. Improvements included a new "hip" (peaked)
roof, front door and window installation and painting of the entire structure. A bituminous walkway and landscaping
are still planned.
27. The Department took delivery of the first City-owned boom truck. The unit will be an asset to all City departments and
negate the need to borrow from other municipalities when aerial work is necessary. A truck chassis that had been
scheduled for trade was "retrofit" to carry the lift platform.

Dear Mr. Forsberg,
You contacted Councilmember Wachter regarding a request to return parkland which was
dedicated as part of the Oak Pond Hills 2nd Addition development. After locating the
letter you wrote to City Administrator Hedges regarding this issue, I found that the City
Attorney's office had reviewed this issue in conjunction with the Planning Department. I
also understand that you did talk to Mr. Sheldon of the City Attorney's office and he
provided you with an explanation.
After speaking with Mr. Sheldon, I too can find no reason for the City to return the
dedicated park property to you as you requested. However, if you would like to continue
to pursue this issue, I can schedule this item on the next Advisory Parks Commission
meeting agenda, which is scheduled for August 17t'. Please advise me by August 10th
if
you wish the Commission to review this issue so I can place the item on the agenda at
that time.
Sincerely,

Att. Tom Hedges City Administrator
Subject: Oak Pond Hills 2nd Add.
Dear Tom
Upon the approval of the final plot on June 6, 1978 which consisted of 12.4
acres, park reduction of 3.71 acres and 0.67 unsuitable land left 8.046 acres for
development.
Discussion at the Council meeting April 18, 1978 regarded the preliminary
plot and the need of a 100 foot wide lot for a trail across through the development
to the Dakota County Park to the south. As the minute read objectives were
made by Council members for size and extent of the park dedication required.
At the June 6, 1978 Council they passed the final plot and required the
staff to place out lot 'B' on the market for sale for a single family purpose.
c At that time I requested that if the trails were not constructed and that a
bridge walk way was not built that the property revert back to the owner.
Twenty years have now passed and access has been available on Oak
Pond Road to the park.
I'm requesting that Out lot'B' be returned so I may develop for a single
family resident which consists of approximately 1 acre.
Yours Very Truly,
Floyd J. Forsberg Brian Turnquist

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mike Ridley, Senior Planner
FROM: James Sheldon, City Attorney
RE: Outlot B, Oak Pond Hills Second Addition
DATE: June 5, 1998
Mike this is to confirm our conversation in review of the records as follows:
1. You've reviewed the development agreement for the Oak Pond Hills Second Addition and find
no reference at all to Outlot B or Park Dedication in the agreement.
2. The City of Eagan Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat on April
11, 1978 stating that the park trail areas will be zoned as outlots on the final plat and a warranty deed
and acceptable title be granted to the city at the time of submission of the final plat.
3. The city council on April 18, 1978 approved the preliminary plat. The motion was to approve the
preliminary plat, subject however, to the recommendations of the advisory planning commission and
subject, however, to satisfactory completion of park dedication requirements.
4. On June 6, 1978 while some council members expressed objections to the extent the park land
required to be dedicated with the subdivision, the council approved the final plat subject to a cash
donation and all other ordinance requirements and in addition execution of the development
agreement. The council also authorized the staff to place Outlot B on the market for sale for single
family purposes after acquisition of title by the city.
5. By warranty deed dated June 27, 1978 Lexington South, Inc, transferred to the city of Eagan
Outlots A to B, Oak Pond Hills Second Addition. We find no restrictions on the transfer. Review
of the record shows no official record by the city of Eagan of intent to retransfer Outlot B, Oak Pond
Hills Second Addition to Lexington South or any other entity.

facilities resulting in heavy truck traffic on certain routes in the City. It

recommendations of the Planning Commission. It was noted that the building
was intended to cross the lot lines between Lots 2 and 3. Egan moved and

The bids for Project #216 according to the list attached to the minutes were
next reviewed with one low bid of Frederickson Excavating Company in the sum of

on the one acre parcel at the above address zoned Agricultural was next reviewed.

TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: OCTOBER 8,1998
SUBJECT: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM
1999-2003 PARK SITE FUND
ISSUE:
Recommendation of 1999 Capitol projects and Five-year CIP.
BACKGROUND:
The Commission is asked to recommend park improvement projects for 1999 to be funded
from the Park Site Fund. In addition, the Commission is asked to forecast the possible
projects for improvements beyond 1999 to the year 2003. These proposed projects are to
come from the list of projects submitted to the City Council in 1997, which were in response
to the Council's directive to identify and prioritize expenditures from the balance of money
that was in the fund as of that date.
The Commission held a workshop session on Monday October 5 to review projects
previously identified for completion and those that were currently under construction. (Staff
will not reproduce the list of projects approved for 1998 that are currently underway. Only
those that were previously approved, but where work has not been initiated, are identified.)
RECOMMENDED 1999
The workshop session of October 5 tentatively identified the following:
Project Cost
• Playground installation - Evergreen Park (Paid from 1998 appropriations)
• Second phase - Walden Heights Park $ 85,000
• Rahn Tennis Courts 35,000
• Acquisition: Don Grant property 240,000
• Property Repair/Other - Don Grant property 25,000
• Driveway Access - Patrick Eagan Park 25,000*
• Soil Correction - Captain Dodd Park 25,000*
*Projects not previously identified or formally reviewed as part of any pervious approvals.
1~
RECOMMENDED 2000
• Three playgrounds $ 75,000
• Blackhawk Park parking lot lights 30,000
• Lexington parking lot lights 70,000
• Thomas Lake Park parking lot 25,000
• North Park 100,000
RECOMMENDED 2001
• Three playgrounds $75,000
• Shelter, Captain Dodd Park 20,000
• Shelter, Ridgecliff Park 20,000
• Shelter, Slaters Acres Park 20,000
RECOMMENDED 2002
• Three Playgrounds $75,000
• Peridot Path Trail 10,000
• Meadowlands Park Trail 10,000
RECOMMENDED 2003
• Lexington Diffley Athletic Field Lights $180,000
• Bur Oaks Park Trail/Bridge 30,000
• Carlson Lake Dock 20,000
• Two Playgrounds 50,000
Years 2000 through 2003 will be reviewed each year for reconsideration and
recommendation. Staff is also suggesting that in July of 1999, a complete review of all
projects be undertaken. Additional funds will have come into the Park Site Fund since the
Commission first began this prioritization task in July of 1997.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION:
The Commission is requested to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding CIP
proposed projects for 1999 and projected projects through 2003.

city of eagan MEMO
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DOROTHY PETERSON, SUPERINTENDENT OF RECREATION
DATE: SEPTEMBER 15,1998
SUBJECT: PETITION FOR A PORTABLE RESTROOM AT HIGHVIEW PARK
BACKGROUND
The Department has received the attached petition requesting a portable toilet and park property
markers at Highview Park. The petition provides 30 signatures; 17 of which representing 11
households are addresses from within the Highview Park neighborhood. The remaining signatures are
from persons residing in other areas of the City or in another community.
ISSUE
The issue before the Commission is whether the City should provide portable toilets in all
neighborhood parks; and, if so during which calendar months. Property corner markers can be installed
after coordination with Engineering for survey work.
DISCUSSION
Current Department policy is to place portable toilets in neighborhood parks during the time frames of
Department programs and Eagan Athletic Association scheduled activities. The portable toilets are
removed after the conclusion of the programmed activities, which varies by park location. Restrooms
in park shelter buildings are open to the public routinely on a daily basis from Memorial Day through
Labor Day, and during the hours of EAA fall programs.
The Eagan Athletic Association reimburses the City for the cost of portable toilets at facilities that are
not parks. These sites are at schools and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
If the City were to routinely provide portable toilets at all neighborhood parks in which playgrounds
are provided, 15 park locations would be added to the list.
If the City were to extend the period of time in which the service is provided, 14 parks would be
affected. The Department expends $9,600 annually for portable toilets at the current level of service. A
change in Department practice would conceivably double the expenditure for portable toilets.
Neighboring communities follow similar practices concerning placement of portable toilets.
In the City Apple Valley portable toilets are placed in parks used by the youth athletic associations for
the length of their season. At locations in which a picnic shelter is available for rent, a portable toilet is
provided. The athletic associations reimburse the City for all units on school property and one third of
the cost at parks.
In the City of Burnsville, a portable toilet is placed only in parks that have two or more venues. An
example is a baseball and a soccer field. Single use parks do not receive a unit. The youth athletic
association does not reimburse the City, and, no school sites are provided the service.
Parks and Recreation in the City of Lakeville provides portable toilets at school and park sites for
youth athletic association activity. The units are out during a sport season only. The athletic
association reimburses the City for the added expense of special events such as tournaments.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION
The Commission should determine whether the Departments' current policy for placement of portable
toilets in parks is appropriate, recommend change if determined to be warranted, and advise staff
concerning a response to the petition before the Commission.
