MEMO
city of eagan
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KE, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JUNE 11999
SUBJECT: JUNE 14 COMMISSION MEETING
The regular Commission meeting will be preceded by a tour as usual. This month, however the
location(s) have not been identified as yet so be prepared to leave the east entrance of the
Municipal Center at 6:00 p.m. for a "surprise" tour.
The meeting is expected to be fairly brief with memos outlining each agenda item as necessary.
As you may have already guessed, this short cover memo is indicative of the fast pace everywhere
in the department!
Please do let us know if you will not be attending the June meeting by calling 681-4661.
Respectfully submitted,
Ken Vraa
Parks and Recreation
Department Happenings - June, 1999
1. Staff attended the quarterly city/school meeting with District 196 school and grounds staff. The
additions to Northview and Pinewood Elementary Schools this summer will not impact community
use of outdoor facilities.
2. Staff met with District 196 personnel to initiate the process for formalizing the agreement whereby
the City schedules school district outdoor facilities. The practice has been in place since 1992.
3. May 23 proved to be a cold and windy day for the Holz Farm Spring Festival. Attendance was
lower than hoped for; approximately 200 people braved the cool day. The volunteers performed
admirably and those who attended had a great time.
4. Staff has focused considerable attention on the June 3 Community Open House. In addition to the
normal committees for the event, an enormous push to complete the concession at Cascade Bay
was made. The food for the event was served from Captain's Galley. The experience provided a
tremendous training opportunity for Cascade Bay staff. The "kids" did very well, considering the
number of people who attended the event. (1361 meal tickets were submitted for the "package" hot
dog, chips and fountain pop.)
5. Eagan High School, Dakota Hills Middle School, and Black Hawk Middle School spring sports
have ended their seasons and use of City facilities. Physical Education classes from Dakota Hills
continue use of Northview Athletic fields until the last week of school.
6. Recreation and maintenance staff met to coordinate summer program needs. Discussion
concerning the playgrounds, Evening in the Park, the playwagon, and softball tournaments will
ensure smooth operation of the activities,
7. To meet increased field demand from travel soccer, a field sized for ages 10 and under has been
striped at the high school.
8. The Valley Athletic Association and the Burnsville Athletic Club will use the George Ohmann
soccer fields for tournament play during the next three week ends.
9. Travel baseball and travel softball will host their annual tournaments during the next three week
ends also. Parks Operations will have a hectic time preparing and maintaining 14 fields for each
tournament. Profits from the tournament are utilized for participant scholarships, team tournament
entry fees and for projects such as the field lights at Goat Hill Park.
10. Friends of the Farm will begin planning the August 1st Harvest Festival at its June board meeting.
Ideas from the Commission for novel activities would be appreciated.
11. The City Council has again designated $10,500 of Community Development Block Grant funds for
the Wescott Junior Program. These funds are invaluable for the Youth Development Program at
Wescott.
12. Eagan Athletic Association directors of fall sports are inquiring about NYSCA coaches training. It
is anticipated that clinics will be set in early August.
13. The summer softball season is reaching the halfway point. The teams are looking to participate in
the district/region/state tournaments in August.
14. Men's and women's singles tennis and co-rec team tennis are all underway for the season.
15. The Youth Development program Summer Kickoff Event at Quarry Park was a great success.
Approximately 125 youth and families attended the festivities.
16. We were awarded the Metropolitan Regional Art Grants for $3,000. This grant will provide
sponsorship for 125 youth from the Youth Development program to attend special art camps to be
held at Caponi Art Park this summer.
17. Fall softball informational packets will be sent out mid-June. Registration for this league will be
the last two weeks of July.
18. Spring Preschool programs ended with family picnics. All participants and their families attended
three days of picnics at Blackhawk Park. Beautiful spring weather attracted 400 people over the 3
days.
19. Summer is almost here. Staff training will be held on June 14& 15. 35 Recreation Leaders and
Assistants will be on staff for the summer to provide Eagan youth a summer of fun.
20. Registrations for all programs have been arriving at a steady pace. Many programs are already
filled to capacity. Instructional T-Ball, Summer In the Park, and Preschool programs are among
the most popular offerings.
21. Staff are working with the E.A.A. on a grant proposal to the Minnesota Twins Community Fund
for a scoreboard at Goat Hill Park's "Little Goat" field.
22. Park and Forestry crews have completed a number of projects at Cascade Bay, including:
landscape installation, construction of a refuse enclosure, bench installation, signing, irrigation of
the entrance, erecting the flag pole, improving drainage areas and completion of the playground.
23. Don Grant and the City have agreed to a one month extension of the least for the "Grant house".
The house will be vacated by August 1.
24. The tree inspector is focusing his efforts on calls pertaining to diseased trees. The many other
landscape related customer service requests are being responded to on a "time available" basis.
Residents requesting an immediate response are being referred to the County Extension Service on
the "Dial-U" program of the U of M.
25. The harvesting of emergent vegetation in several City lakes is underway. Blackhawk Lake will be
completed first.
26. Park mowing crews are finally at "full strength" with the infusion of college-age seasonal
employees. It will take several rounds to catch up on all of the trim mowing and edging.
27. Park staff is spending considerable time regrading and leveling infield areas in anticipation of the
large number of tournaments scheduled for the summer.
28. Despite the cloudy, cold weather, several hundred people attended the Spring Festival at Holz Farm
Park on May 23. The next event is scheduled for August 7.
29. The DNR will be delivering the new fishing pier to Schwanz Lake at the end of June. The concrete
entrance ramp has been framed and poured in anticipation of the installation.
30. It appears that the majority of the bleachers in the Eagan system will not require modification as a
result of the recent litigation clarifications are forthcoming.

TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KEN A, DIRECTOR PARECREATION
DATE: JUNE 99,1999
SUBJECT: CEDARVIEW 2''n ADDITION - DECALLA PROPERTIES
BACKGROUND:
Decalla Properties is requesting Preliminary Subdivision approval to allow the creation of an 8
lot single family residential subdivision entitled "Cedarview 2nd Addition". The proposed
subdivision overlays 4.0 acres of former excess T.H. 77 right-of-way located south of Cliff
Road and west of Nicols Road in the northwest 1/4 of Section 31.
The subject property is zoned PD, Planned Development which necessitates the approval of a
Preliminary Planned Development in conjunction with the preliminary subdivision request.
Approval of the Preliminary Planned Development would simultaneously constitute approval
of a Final Planned Development to be considered in conjunction with the Final Subdivision.
On May 18, 1999 Eagan City Council implemented a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment
establishing a D-1, Single Family Residential Land Use Guide Plan designation and a Planned
Development (PD zoning designation upon the subject property.
The subject property is unplatted and is accessed from the east via Nicols Road, a designated
"neighborhood collector" street. This item is scheduled for consideration at the forthcoming
June 22nd Advisory Planning Commission meeting.
PARKS/TRAILS DEDICATION:
This development shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication and a cash trails dedication.
TREE PRESERVATION:
This 4-acre site is located on the west side of Nicols Road on excess highway right-of-way in
the northeast 1/4 of Section 31. The site currently is approximately 50% covered with some
type of significant vegetation, with the other half covered with grass.
Significant a station
A tree inventory has been submitted for this site. It indicates that there are 69 individual
significant trees on site, and 10,100 square feet of significant woodlands on site. Individual
tree species include bur and red oak (8" to 42" diameter), boxelder (12" to 19" diameter),
blackcherry (6" to 19" diameter), and cottonwood (12" to 20" diameter). The significant
3
woodland is comprised of aspen, cottonwood, and boxelder tree species, ranging in diameter
from 4" to 12".
Initial development as proposed for this site will result in the removal of 12 significant trees
(17.4% of the total), and in the removal of 3,000 square feet of significant woodlands (29.7%
of the total). According to the City of Eagan Tree Preservation ordinance allowable removal
for this type of development (multiple-lot single-phase single-unit residential) is set at 25% for
initial development (17 trees and 2,525 square feet of significant woodlands). With a
combined significant tree/woodland removal less than allowable limits there will be no
mitigation applied to this application for initial development
Additional Concerns
Custom grading will occur `thin this development on lots 3 and 8. Individual Lot Tree
Preservation Plans will be required at the time of building permit application for these two
lots.
Staff is recommending approval of the Tree Preservation Plan with the following conditions:
¦ To require that Tree Protective measures (i.e. orange colored silt fence or 4 foot
polyethylene laminate safety netting) 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.
¦ 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 and placement of the Tree Protection Fencing.
¦ To acknowledge that Individual Lot Tree Preservation Plans will be required at the time of
building permit application for lots 3 and 8.
WATER UAL S:
This development is located in Drainage Basin A in far southwest Eagan. This is a 4-acre
parcel with 8 single family lots that will be developed under this proposal. The development
will generate runoff that will be discharged to Pond AP-9, a 5.5-acre pond designated as a
sediment basin in the City's water quality management plan. and AP-9 in turn discharges to
AP-6, a designated stormwater management basin, which in turn discharges to AP-39, also
classified as a sediment basin, which then discharges to the Mnnesota River bottomlands.
There are no recreational classified water bodies downstream of the proposed development.
Because this is a small development, staff recommends that no on-site ponds be constructed to
treat runoff from the impervious areas of the development parcel. However, a cash
dedication in lieu of on-site ponding is recommended.
There are no jurisdictional wetlands within the development parcel.
Staff recommends that a cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding be required for the
development. The cash dedication required based on the area and impervious characteristics
of developed lots will be $2,640.
FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. This development shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication.
2. This development shall be responsible for a cash trails dedication.
3. The Tree Preservation Plan shall be approved with the following conditions:
¦ Tree Protective measures (i.e. orange colored silt fence or 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.
¦ 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 and placement of the Tree Protection Fencing.
¦ Individual Lot Tree Preservation Plans will be required at the time of building permit
application for Lots 3 and 8.
4. A cash dedication shall be required for this development in lieu of on-site ponding.

MEMO

TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR RECREATION
DATE: JUNE 99,1999
SUBJECT: OLSON-BURGER ADDITION
BACKGROUND:
e site is located east and west of I-35E, south of LeMay Lake and north of Eagan Promenade
between Yankee Doodle and Lone Oak Roads. The site totals 33.5 acres in area. The applicant is
proposing to subdivide the property into three lots east of I-35E and one outlot west of I-35E.
When I-35E and Northwood Parkway were constructed, this parcel was physically divided by the new
public rights-of-way but remained a single tax parcel. The proposed Preliminary Subdivision will
divide the property into separate parcels. The outlot west of I-35E adjacent to LeMay Lake is not
proposed for development at this time and no changes to the zoning are contemplated for that portion
of the site. Consequently, the focus of the review is on the portion of the property east of I-35E, which
is proposed to be divided into three lots which are 3.29 acres (Lot 1, Block 1), 1.36 acres (Lot 1, Block
2), and 1.92 acres (Lot 2, Block 2) in area.
A Preliminary Planned Development consisting of commercial uses is also proposed for the eastern
portion of to site. Specific uses the applicant contemplates are "hotel, restaurant (Class I or Class II),
retail sales, general office, bank, automotive service and similar use types." These are generall
consistent with the permitted and conditional uses allowed in the CSC (Community Shopping Center)
zoning district. The applicant has submitted a conceptual plan for consideration in evaluating the
proposed subdivision. The concept plan shows a hotel on Lot 1, Block 1, and office on Lots 1 and 2,
Block 2.
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 preservation issues with this proposal.
WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS:
This development is located in Drainage Basin in north-central Eagan. The 8.9 acres being
developed will generate runoff that will be discharged to DP-4.1, which is classified as a stormwater
pond in the City's water quality management plan. Pond DP-4.1 in turn discharges through a series of
several ponds and lakes to Le ay Lake, which is classified as a Class I water body in the City's water
quality management plan. The development parcel is level to gently rolling and open. The water
quality mitigation requirement for Lot 1, Block 1, consisting of 3.3 acres, and Northwoods Drive,
consisting of 2.2 acres, has already been met as part of the Eagan Promenade development. A cash
dedication in lieu of site pan ' g for Lot 1, Block 2 and Lot 2, consisting of 3.3 acres is
recommended.
There are no jurisdictional wetlands within the development parcel.
Staff recommends that a cash dedication in lieu of on-site pon ' g be required for the 3.3 acre portion
of the development not treated by on-site pan ' g and not included in the pon ' g provided by the
Eagan Promenade development. The estimated amount of the required cash dedication based on a
proposed commercial development will be about $15,000.
FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. This development shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication.
2. This development shall be responsible for a cash trails dedication.
3. This development shall be responsible for a cash dedication in lieu of on-site pon ' g for the 3.3
acre portion of the development not treated by on-site pan ' g and not included in the pon ' g
provided by the Eagan Promenade development.

MEMO
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KEN A, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JUNE ,9,1999
SUBJECT: GLEN POND SECOND - LARRY WENZEL
C :
The site is located east of Pilot Knob Road and north of Marice Drive. The property is 10.94
acres in area. The applicant is proposing to build five three-story apartment buildings on the
site as an extension to the Glen Pond Apartment complex. The existing zoning for the
property is R-4 Multiple Residential) in which apartments are a permitted use. The Preliminary
Planned Development zoning is requested to allow multiple buildings on a single parcel and to
allow flexibility with the site design.
The existing Glen Pond apartments were constructed in 1974 and contain 297 units (186 one-
bedroom, 108 two-bedroom, and three efficiency units.) The proposed unit mix for this
second phase of Glen Pond is as follows: Efficiency -45; 1-bedroom-105; 2-bedroom-125;
and 3-bedroom-25. The proposed density of 300 units on 10.94 acres is 27.4 units per acre.
The development is proposed to have half of the required parking underground, and the other
half would be surface parking. The buildings, parking and drive aisle areas, walkways and
patios would cover 49% of the site, and 51% would be green space.
PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION:
This development would be subject to a cash parks dedication and a cash trails dedication.
TREE PRESERVATION:
There are no tree preservation issues related to this development proposal.
WATER UAL TL S:
This development is a 10.9 acre parcel located in Drainage Basin C in north-central Eagan.
The development will generate runoff that will be discharged to Pond CP-5, a 1.8-acre pond
designated as a sediment basin in the City's water quality management plan. Pond CP-5 in
turn discharges through a series of stormwater ponds to CP-9 (Gravel Pit Lake), which is
classified as a recreational waterbody in the City's water quality management plan, located in
the Minnesota River Valley. There is one recreational classified water body downstream of
the proposed development. No grading or conceptual plan for ponding was included in this
proposal. This development plan involves impervious area of about 50%.
There is at least one jurisdictional wetland within the development area. No wetland survey
has been done on this site.
Staff recommends that:
¦ The development meet its water quality mitigation requirement entirely through on-site
ponding. Ponds should be constructed to meet the City of Eagan's Detention Basin
Design Standards with a surface area and wet volume of at least .43 acres and 1.2

TO: ADVISORY COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
JEFF ASFAHL, SUPERINTENDENT OF RECREATION
DATE: JUNE 8, 1999
SUBJECT: MEN'S CHORUS PROPOSAL
C :
At the May 17, 1999 Commission meeting the original proposal (attached) was reviewed and referred
to the Recreation Sub-committee for further consideration,
A sub-committee meeting was held Tuesday June 1 with the following in attendance: Roscoe
Evavold, Tom Laska, and Paul Carlton, representatives of the Men's Chorus and Dorothy Peterson,
Jeff Asfahl, Paula Norwiak, Sonja Rippe, Loudi Rivamonte, and Donna Tilsner, representing Parks
and Recreation Staff.
Following themeeting, the merits of the proposal were discussed with the following recommendations
considered:
¦ This type of Community Men's chorus would be asset to this community and a supportive
relationship with the Chorus would nicely supplement what Eagan already offers. These types of
groups are quite common and exist today in cities such as; Rochester, Austin, South St. Paul,
Marshall, Litchfield, Cold Spring, and Eau Claire.
¦ A partnership with the Chorus is appropriate as participation is open and offers a leisure
opportunity for those interested in joining and the end product being performances, provides a
leisure opportunity for the audience.
¦ The partnership does not require any direct cost to the Department.
¦ The relationship provides a "win win" as the Chorus would positively represent the City of Eagan
and the Parks and Recreation Department, and they could assist us by performing at City
sponsored functions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that a partnership be eblished considering the following operational
understanding:
¦ The Chorus will retain its own treasury. Solicitation of fimds from area business and civic groups
is discouraged. It is preferred that funding be raised via performance fees and/or benefit concerts.
¦ The Park and Recreation Department will have a liaison appointed to the Chorus's organizational
body.
¦ The Men's Chorus will ction as an associate member of the City of Eagan, and will positively
represent and promote the City of Eagan and the Parks and Recreation Department.
¦ The Parks and Recreation Department role and assistance will include:
¦ Assistance with acquisition of facility space for rehearsal.
¦ Program publicity and participation development.
¦ Support with marketing and public relations material,
The chorus is scheduled to perform at the Cascade Bay Gala that is scheduled for June 17'h, It would
be exciting to introduce them for the first time as the all-new Eagan Men's Chorus.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION:
To approve the partnership and related operational understanding and recommend approval to the City
Council for adoption at their June 15, 1999 meeting.

Dear Ken,
I am writing you rarding the n:,.oreyer reent program which is a collaborative effort of the City
of Eagan, Eagan Foundation, Eagan healthy Community Initiative and the Eagan Chamber of
Commerce. The Eagan Foundation has been the fiduciary agent and primary fund raising initiator for
this project. Simply put, th~Faaan Forever er ens program is an innovative extremely quick response
to the storms of last May which devastated many trees in our area.
Even from the very first meeting, there was discussion of this being a lasting permanent program to
continue efforts beyond the fall of 1999 which will the final tree distribution for this program. then,
we will have planted 10,000 trees in total--5,000 potted trees and 5,000 seedlings. At the same time, we
have been educating adults and youth regarding trees. Another benefit has been the volunteer efforts of
several hundred youth, residents and business people.
I have been asked to write to you regarding continued efforts to partner in environmental efforts for tree
preservation and replacement as well as other appropriate parks and trails efforts beyond the fall of
1999. 1 am presently co-air of the Eagan Foundation Fund Raising Committee. I have served on the
a4 raver a! Task Force since it began. I am also a member of the Eagan Chamber of
Commerce.
Our hope is that you will discuss this at the Advisory Parks Commission meeting. We would happy to
meet with the Commission if you desire. If you have any questions or if I can be of service in any
way, feel free to call me at 651-454-3D66. Thank you.
Sincerely,

TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JUNE 99,1999
SUBJECT: NORTHWOOD BUSINESS PARK
BACKGROUND:
Lexington Eagan Limited partnership is requesting approval of a Preliminary Subdivision
(Northwood Business Park) to create one lot and one outlot on 23.94 acres located north of
Northwood Parkway, west of Lexington Avenue and east of Home Depot, in the SW 1/4 of
Section 10.
The property is vacant and contains numerous wooded areas, significant trees and scattered
wetlands. Access to the site is proposed via a public street extending north from Northwood
Parkway. A future access to Lexington Avenue is also proposed. The preliminary
development plans show the first development phase, a 43,300 square foot single-story
building, on the southwest portion of the site. The proposed use is 80% office/20% industrial
mix and will be consistent with the Business Park zoning district. Future development phases
for the outlot consist of three additional buildings.
PARKS AND DEDICATION
This development would be subject to a cash parks dedication and a cash trails dedication.
TREE PRESERVATION
As this report is being written, a revised plan for this development is being prepared, which
will be presented at the APrC meeting of June 14, 1999. Staff will review the revised plan
prior to the APrC meeting and have preservation/mitigation numbers to present. The revised
plan will result in altered grading limits and tree preservation efforts. Information presented in
this report is from submitted preliminary plans. This is still pertinent information as it
describes the large significant vegetation on this site.
Site istory
This 24-acre site is located on the north side of Northwood Parkway west of Lexington
Avenue in the southeast 1f4 of Section 10. The site currently is approximately 75% covered
with some type of significant vegetation, with the balance of the site being either wetlands or
cleared and graded areas from the installation of utilities for Home Depot.
c1
Si nificant Vegetation
A tree inventory has been submitted for this site. It indicates that there are 230 individual
significant trees on site. Individual tree species include bur and red oak (6" to 45" diameter),
cottonwood (12" to 26" diameter), and scattered ash, elm, maple, willow, boxelder, and pine
trees. Oak species comprise 65% of the individual trees (148 oak trees of the 230 total
trees). Twenty-one oak trees are classified as specimen trees, having diameters equal to or
greater than 30 inches.
Development as proposed for this site will result in the removal of 211 (see Additional
Concerns) significant trees (91.7% of the total). According to the City of Eagan Tree
Preservation ordinance allowable removal for this type of development (multiple-lot single-
phase commercial) is set at 47,5% (109 trees).
Diameter Class er o Trees Existing Number of Trees Removed
6" to 20" 70 57(81%)
21" to 29" 57 42 74%
30" Specimen 21 14(67%)
With a significant tree removal more than allowable limits, there will be tree mitigation applied
to this application. As the development is originally proposed, tree mitigation calculates to
the installation of 172 category A trees, or 344 category B trees, or 688 Category C trees.
The cash equivalent in lieu of reforestation is $ 103,200.00. These original mitigation numbers
have been presented to the applicant at development review meetings. The applicant should
present a preservation/reforestation plan at the APrC meeting.
Additional Concerns
1. The number of trees to be removed within this report (211 trees) differs from the number
of trees reported to be removed by the applicant for the following reasons:
a. Trees indicated to be preserved were within areas to be graded,
b. Trees indicated to be preserved were too close to grading limits. The City of Eagan
Tree Preservation Ordinance requires that there be no grading or encroachment within
the preserved tree's critical root zone (a distance with a radius of one foot per inch of
tree diameter).
c. Trees were located off the project site.
2. Considering the quantity and quality of existing oak trees on this large site, careful review
should be performed concerning possible preservation efforts. The twenty-one specimen
trees within this site area average 33" in diameter, ranging from 30" to 45". Calculated
average age for these specimen trees is 200 years.
Recommendation
Because of a delay in the submittal of required revisions pertaining to tree
preservation/inventory field work and plan development, staff will present tree
preservation/mitigation calculations at the APrC meetings. Recommendations will also be
presented at that time.
D
WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS:
Recommendations for water quality and wetland issues will be discussed at the June 14
Commission Meeting.
FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. This development shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication.
2. This development shall be responsible for a cash trails dedication.
3. Recommendations for Tree Preservation and Water Quality /Wetlands will be discussed at
the June 14 Advisory Parks Commission.

TO: Y PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: N VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
C.J. LILLY, PARKS PLANNERILANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
DATE: JUNE 9,1999
SUBJECT: PARKS PROJECTS
ISSUE
The last Capital Improvement Program (C.I.P.) developed by the Advisory Park Commission and
subsequently approved by the City Council included funding for "small prof " Small projects were
determined to be those that addressed or alleviated an identified need and cost no more than $10,000. Staff is
seeking Advisory Commission approval to proceed two such projects.
BACKGROUND
For the past several years, the Tree Trust has been assisting the Eagan Parks Department with a
variety of parks projects and improvements. For 1999 they will again be assisting us with the
development of two park sites at Heine Pond and Woodhaven.
HEINE POND PARK
The first project this year will be at the north shore of Heine Pond, where there is an old canoe
launch/beach site, The work needed to improve this area has been broken into two phases. For spring
1999, the objective will be to construct a wooden deck for fishing and to provide a better location for
picnicking, For the spring of 2000, the objective will be to construct a boardwalk down to the fishing
deck from the existing bituminous trail and make needed improvements to the sand beach area.
The wooden fishing deck will be 12' x 18' with the longest dimension parallel to the shoreline to
maximize exposure to the pond. The elevation of the deck above the pond will be 30". The deck is fit
between existing on site trees, which include Elm, Boxelder and Willow; adverse impacts to trees are
n-dnimized,
To level the upper area for a picnic table and to provide a sitting area for fisherman, a modular
concrete block wall shall be constructed. The elevation of this sitting wall above the deck will be
maintained at 2 feet. The estimated cost of Phase I is $2,500.
WOODHAVEN PARK
The proposed improvement will consist of a modular block retaining wall, landscaping and a single
picnic table. The improvement will provide plenty of sitting area for those who bring their children to
the playground at Woodhaven.
The sitting and picnic area is located under the large out-stretched arins of a 42" oak tree. This
impressive specimen oak establishes a shaded observation point that will be both comfortable and
attractive. Raised planting beds will contain shade-loving plants such as Hosta, Fern, Pachysandra,
Moneywort and Vinca.
A Northern Natural Pipeline runs underground between the new playground and the proposed sitting
and picnic area. Park staff will coordinate this improvement with Northern and locates will be called in
prior to any construction. The area over the pipeline will be maintained as mowed grass. The
estimated cost of the project is $2,500.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION
To approve the use of the C.I.P. Small Project Funds for the completion of projects at Heine Pond and
Woodhaven Parks. Labor will be provided by the Tree Trust.
