After the approval of the minutes and the Agenda for the November meeting, there is one
consent item and one development proposal. The development proposal is Coventry Pass,
2nd Addition, with United Mortgage. You will recall that the Advisory Commission has
reviewed the entire Coventry Pass Addition, and required a parkland dedication. Staff is
providing you with this item to formalize the computations for the land nd
requirment for Coventry Pass 1st and 2nd Additions. A memo has been pro- E _'c J of yu,_1. r
review.
OLD BUSINESS:
There are no items under "Old Business" at this time.
NEW BUSINESS:
There are four items for Commission review. The first is a review of the proposed
revision to the City Ordinance regarding shade tree and landscaping. Essentially, this is
Part One of a proposed two part revision to the City Ordinance. The first part is basically
the re-writing of existin ordinances pertaining to (1) tree disease control (2) maintenance
of private property, etc. Part Two, which will be provided to the Commission when : it is
completed, will be within the sub-division ordinance and will address lands,,,i pirg
requirements, landscaping within road-right-of-ways, provisions for tree replhcci ,ent,
require protection for trees during grading operations, etc. These will be -_rl011in ?
the code, beyond the existing tree polio. Staff is requesting that the Commission rvie°,u
this Part One of the draft for comment.
A cover sheet has been prepared, which will help to high-light changes in each section to
help you through this review process.
PARKS DEDICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff has prepared a separate memorandum for you regarding park dedication
recommendations for calendar year 1990. It is clear that significant changes in land values
have occured, particularly for single family dwellings, in the last 12 to 14 months. This
may require a substantial increase in the dedication fee. Please review the attiw' ct'
memorandum for background information.
T A. P FARM PARK:
s
The item for Trapp Farm Park regards potential land acquisition from Lexington Point. '
4th & 5th Additions, now platted into single family lots. Due to the impact on Tr,:;»
Farm Park, staff is requesting the Advisory Commission to review and provide its opir= , a.
and direction for staff. A memo has been prepared for your review.
Also, under "New Business" is a consideration for the 1989/90 winter skating program.
Although, staff does not anticipate significant changes from previous years, we would ??:.e
to review this with you for any changes or modifications the Commission feels
necessary.
ITEM ,I - PARKS DEVELOPMENT-
This provides the Commission with a verbal update on the various projects that are on-
going within the department. Some projects are now winding down, while several others
are just beginning and will probably continue into next year.
--T-, BUSINESS ANA' '--J TS:
The department has again provided you with the "Departmental Happenings" as an update
on the many activities staff has been involved in in the last several weeks.
Also, under "Other Business and Reports" the Director of Parks & Recreation would like
to review with you a potential cooperative arrangement with School District #196 and the
Willmus Park parcel. This is still in a preliminary mode, and st I `f would I ; :P c t u alert you
to this possibility as progress is taking place very rapidly in re'E ; -ds to th 5 issue.
Finally, staff would like to update you on concerns for the storm water ponds in Westcott
Station Park and the direction being pursued.
As always, if members of the Commission have any questions pertaining to any of the
items on the Agenda, please feel free to contact the department with your questions and
I will be prepared to respond to them at the Commission meeting.

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING
ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
EAGAN, MINNESOTA
SATURDAY, S3,198
A special meeting of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission was called to
order at 9:10 A. M, at Trapp Farm Park, by Chairman Kubik. Commission members
present: George Kubik, Dick Carroll, Michele Swanson, Shawn Hunter, Ted Billy and
Sandy Masin. Staff present: Cathy Dybieck, Intern; John VonDeLinde, Superintendent
of Parks & Recreation, and Ken Vraa, Director of Parks & Recreation.
AGENDA
Director of Parks & Recreation, Vraa, stated that there were two (2) items on the
agenda for the Commission to address. The first (1) being the Commission's desire to
involve itself in natural resource issues and park system updating. Mr. Kubik stated ' t
there were two aspects to consider, (1) whether the Commission should be involved in
natural resource issues, and (2) do we have the resources to be involved in these issues.
Mr. Hunter agreed, commenting that there was obviously - to be a cost in order for
the City/Commission to be involved in this; h luestiorrd what other Commissions
or groups would take on the responsibility for dealing with the issues identified if the
Commission did not? Superintendent VonDeLinde discussed water quality and the
expertise that was available to the task force dealing with that issue. Mr. Carroll 5111
d
his agreement to the availability and expertise of consultants to the water quality
force, and felt that some of this expertise would be available to the Adviso Cr."ar i:. r
Mr. Kubik stated that some issues dealing with the environment were cc- u-<
however many issues could be raised, addressed and put to rest with
revisions. The Commission would not have to deal with major, continuing resour:,*~
all at one time. Commission member Billy, stated that it was not unusual for Commission
or committees to have standing committees. He questioned if the Commission might be
the regular committee, with standing committees, involving members of the Commission
and the community.
There was discussion by the Advisory Com:3 ist,io ~ c -h l
general support and agreement that it was a method by which ; d1 . ° i? h the a 1 , )1: _l
responsibilities that natural resources would create.
Mr. Kubik stated that the community obviously has some talented people that
could act as a resource on some issues. Mr. Carroll stated that staff has a lot of wor'-
do on existing issues regarding parks and recreation, and would have to carry a lot or
burden for environmental issues. How would staff be able to cope with
time commitment? Mr. Billy stated, at the same time K ; ; ule of the stall 1 = t , : ;i ! 9 , l.
could work to save staff time if properly structured. Tlrs, was additional c Lus io~i by
SPECIAL

PAGE TWO
the Advisory Commission concerning the commitment of resources of both staff and
community and the thought of a separate Commission and the advantages it might have
dealing with these responsibilities.
Mr. Kubik stated that perhaps the concept is not to take on all of the natural
resource issues at one time, but take two or three at one time. the group grows,
might be possible, with time and experience, to take on more issues. Meml r 1' l<:
questioned if citizen volunteers were active on the water quality task force } ?
Commission member Carroll, stated that interest has diminished by some of the r~..~n 5: s
at large, but the government units from the soil & water conversation district have been
excellent. Commission member Masin, stated that the Commission with standing
committees and development of others, seems an appropriate way to proceed and to
ensure good coordination between the responsibilities of the Advisory Parks & Rc °rention
Commission and its concerns for environmental impacts on parks. Ted i, A1y si . c l t' _ t
he felt this Commission can tap some of the communities resources or voh. iccis -w-E:- ]I-:;y
want to help the community. Mr. Kubik added that, experts can be called into and be
involved in some issues from such resources as the University.
Director Vraa reminded the Commission that the Council will have to be
approached for approval for the Commission's involvement in these issues. lie r:'It Ii t
the Advisory Commission should discuss what approach is best to take. M3. int."
that he felt more time was needed and instead of closing options, w,, _o h a,,e
groups to open options. Mr. Hunter wondered how many standing cc 1 es would be
needed; he would like that decided on at this time. Mr. Billy agreed with Mr. Kubik's
comments that the Commission select a few issues of priority to concentrate on. He
wanted to see staff's recommendations for the issues that it felt the Commission should
be involved in. Mr. Hunter stated, that he wanted to identify those issues of priority to
the Commission, this morning if possible. Mr. Kubik said, that perhaps we should back
up a moment to see if there is a total agreement on the organiza it- i ,)r if
there could be some other approach that had not been disc I s"n u, uld be
considered. Member Swanson, Hunter, Masin and Billy all agreed _ 's l the standing
committee concept.
The Commission then discussed establishing priorities and involvement into natural
resources and how important was it at this time to have priorities. Member Kubik stated
that perhaps it was not important to develop the priorities at this time, but that ~ g,_° .feral
mission statement needed to be developed to clarify for the Council the Cc- 7` ! H cr's
internal role and responsibilities. Commission member Carroll stated that i: V E s in
agreement that the Council needs to make a determination on issues like water quality and
give expansion to others. Michele Swanson stated that there are some things the
Commission could push back in priority i.e., such items as City clean-up and spend more

time on water quality. Director Vraa state. r erhaps it w;, IT int at this
time for the Commission to get involved in do ails, but have a general outline and an
understanding amongst members as to their approach to the Council. Member Hunter
stated that perhaps the Commission should go before the Council for more direction in
order to proceed, then return to the Council with a more organized .i prioritized
approach. George agreed, and felt it was wise to set the perimeters and dn 3 i n nit
which would be helpful. Hunter agreed that the Mission Statement was r 5.
that the Commission should have some priorii is s. George felt the options
open, and too many would be closed if we tries. to set up committees at this i EI 1 ng
with each of the specific areas. Member Hunter stated that he was referring to categories
of areas and not individual items under each category.
There was discussion by the Commission and clarification to the various
categories for study and the need for a prioritized approach.
It was concluded that, Mr. Kubik would initiate a draft of a state rr.C I ~ t
that this statement be reviewed with final approval by the November Commission men ti n . .
This would be done in hopes that the Commission could meet with the Council in late
November.
UPDATING OF THE PARK SYSTEMS PLAN
Copies of the proposed updating for the Park Systems Plan, from the 1-tuber
Commission meeting, was re-distributed. Members of the Commission then m "k ,;d each
task segment of the scope of services in detail, with additions to each of the various task
segments. These additions were recorded for changes and for final approval at a latter
date.
After approximately an hour of review and discussion, the Advisory Cc
adjourned at 11:15 A. M.

Council review and approval.
LEXINGTON SOUTH P.D. AMENDMENT
Director Vraa introduced City Planner Jim Sturm who would be reviewing this
development for the Commission. Mr. Sturm noted that this development being proposed
by Tri-Land Development is in conformance with the land use criteria established for this
site on the south side of Diffley and east of Lexington. The development proposal
includes retail, theatre, YMCA, auto, child care and an ice arena. The rnwiew at this time
is for a PD amendment only. Mr. Sturm c x i n m ned that the City C+ i F n ? ! 1 as previously
reviewed this parcel as Eagan Center 4th. 'I ` e proposed ice arena is planned at 75,000
square feet consisting of two sheets of ice. The first rink will be located on the north side
and the seating capacity, estimated at approximately 4,000, has yet to be determined. The
arena will provide for approximately 750 parking stalls.
A proposed YMCA is planned on the west sidc of the site and will con:-;kA of
approximately 35,000 - 40,000 square feet with an indoor n,nd outdoor pool. In
an approximate 95,000 square foot retail center with J 3 k,ect access to i e
anchored by a 20,000 square foot grocery store. The remaining building on the s to is
proposed as a theatre with 5-6 screens similar to the Apple Valley theatre.
Jim Sturm explained that the major issue for this site is traffic, therefore a detailed
traffic analysis will be forthcoming and an environmental report that is to ue completed
as well. The conceptual landscape plan is still due and it has been ,d that the
Eagan Center 4th landscape plan be used.
Mr. Sturm further explained that this issue will most likely go before the City
Council on October 17 at which time it is expected that the Council will direct staff to do
the PD agreement in order that zoning can take place.

STRATFORD OAKS

the Advisory Parks and Recreation Com is`on conf-sto_ I of three m }t
rental units on thirty -two acres south of r an(' ° Th;or ; L:d% i n, d. Jim
indicated that Mr. Bob Lux of Trammell Crow was pres~i d ~ hit the di-;%;c, €op=:,r's plan
is to obtain final plat approval at the October 17, 1989 City Council meeting. Mr. Sturm
noted that this plan was approved in 1988 when it was presented by Gustafson as a 328
unit project. Trammell Crow has upgraded the buildings with brick and have embellished
the landscaping plan.
Mr. Lux from Trammell Crow addressed the Commission that they were
cautious about being the 4th developer of this piece of property. 1 I _ _1~;ated that two
previous developers had received approval for this project but were un r L.ie to consummate
the deal due to the glut of apartments in the city. Mr. Lux indicated Trammell Crow has
had their eye on the Eagan market for some time, Trammell Crow's objective is to make
apartments closer to single family homes. Their plan is to get rid of the barracks lock
of apartment buildings and to incorporate things such as individu -1 zheaters and entrance from the garage into the apartment. A.nu, l e
previous plan is to break the units up and leave more natural ~t c c the rof the
site. With this plan the units will be broken to fit on the existing topography so as not
to flatten large areas to accommodate a building this size. The club house will be located
closer to Diffley so as to be more visible. Other changes will include decks being built on
some of the units, pitched roofs, added bricking and 100% irrigation. The road system
will remain the same.
Mr. Lux stated that the previous plan had 2 tennis courts aboN L t ~ c ,as line.
Trammell Crow prefers not to have tennis courts. They would also like to delete the tot
lot if the Commission would agree. Their experience is that tennis courts are not used
enough to justify the installation. They would prefer leaving that area natural. Regarding
the trail proposed along Diffley and Thomas Lake the developer will grade and install the
trail if so instructed.
Shawn Hunter asked what group of people these l r t~ c i its we t - c (I
Mr. Lux responded that their research reflected a need for low income, - tl k b, u hi' i
does not address, and high income in the $1500-2000Junit range. These u its do not fit
that category either; rather they target young professionals with a rental rate of up to $895
per month. The buildings will have approximately 10% efficiency apartments, 36 three
bedroom apartment with the balance being one and two bedroom. The developer does
not want to create a separation of families, thus the buildings will accommodate all the
family sizes in each building.

this year using aggregate over an oil base.
John VonDeLinde commented that after cracks were filled and the under body
sweeping process was completed the oil was laid down followed by 1/8 inch of trap rock.
The video demonstrated the thoroughness of the sealcoating equipment that was used and
John explained that 5 miles of trail was completed in 5 hours. It was noted tb:it t'-ii s

program that will be followed for trails maintenance.
Ken Vraa stated that there was some concern initially regarding trails in front of
homes and the reaction of residents to this type of sealcoating. After seeing how neat and
clean the job was done by the contractor doing the work it was obvious why there were
no complaints from residents or users to date,
George Kubik thanked staff for providing the video presentation of a l:i .>>c, ss they

MEMORANDUM
T: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION C tJ R) N
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: OCTOBER 30, 1989
RE: PARKS DEDICATION FEES - ANNUAL REVIEW
BACKGROUND:
The Parks & Recreation Commission has annually reviewed the parks dedications
and given a recommendation to the City Council.
Fee adjustments are typically reviewed by the City Council or z:° u
January. Attached to this memorandum is a copy of the e)'i ~ d c J c t a r:
ordinance, and a recent survey of community fees for other commu ii'ies.
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:
The last significant review to the park dedication ordinance was in 1986, when t l P.1111s
& Recreation Commission recommended to the City Council, a re-write (
dedication policy. This was enacted in for 1987, 1988 and 1989. The history o- .,,,s L )r
the last three years are indicated below:
CLASS PROPERTY 1987 1988 1989
Single Family $471 $492 $525
Duplex 445 462 488
Townhouse 382 394 414
Apartments 392 404 427
and Multiple*
NOTE:
*Dedication fees may be reduced by up to 25%, if the developer pi i -':f ies for ~~~,:r i cant
recreational facilities for its apartment dwellers.
1
IAND VALUES:
The Commission is familiar with the history and establishment of the park dedication fees
based on avera e land values. The department has incomplete information on land values
for each category, and if we had the information, there would certainly be exceptions to
each. There continues to be a strong single family market which has increased the
demand/price for property in the last twelve (12) to fourteen (1.4) months. For
School District #196 acquired property for Pinecrest Elemc ~ ary at $22,000 an Robert Ingstrom also purchased property at approximately "7r,000These
just two examples to illustrate the increase in value of some si =gic Ii m i ] t% i -operty.
Another is the Brown parcel, south of Cliff. Mr. Brown wanted $30,000 for land comp
guided for single family.
Currently, the parks dedication formula has placed the average land value for s i ~2J c ff t i Ay
units at $12,000 an acre, with duplexes at $14,000, townhouses at $16,000 nno
and multi-dwellings at $18,000 per acre. (Note: Last year, the Ad~:~
added $10.00 to each park dedication unit; this was to be designated h".1- .r -i:
efforts within the parks system.)
After a conference with the Community Development Director, staff is recommending a
range for "average market value" in each of the categorical land uses. Also computed for
'mounts.
you are the cash equivalents per residential unit based on the low and hii 7, i
HOUSING TYPE AVE'RAGE MARKET L114 ER 100 CASH EQ. PER
VALUE 1 ' LAT N UNIT
Single Family $15,000 - $16,000 per acre 28 $642- $686
Duplex 17,000 - 18,000 per acre 35 582 - 617
Townhouse/Quad 20,000 - 22,000 per acre 47 510 - 561
Apts/multiple 22,000 - 26,000 per acre 52 507 - 600
PARKS DEDICATION TRAILS:
The Commission is aware that staff has been preparing possible amendments to Pc
ordinance which would provide for a separate trails dedication. The com llu i c. f
development department is coordinating this review and has recently c l7 f- ,c ° _ict 1
with the developers task force seeking their comments. The Direct:,,,_
Recreation was present to explain the proposed trails dedication issues that woul provide
for $100 per unit addition to the cash dedication fees for trails. This amount would be
placed in a separate trail dedication account to be used solely for new trails throughout
the community. It is expected that this item will be on the second City Council meeting
in November for their review.
IN US IAL/C C L UI ENTS:
An increase in rates for the commercial/industrial property was also enacted last year.
The Advisory Commission raised the 1988 requirement from $2,003.00 to $2,178.00 a1 e1
acre. This is an equivalent increase from 4.6 cents per square ft to .05 cents per
foot.
The Commission also adjusted the rule for property platted prior to 1983, c c, that
rate from 2.3 cents per square foot to 2.5 cents per square foot. This rate ",,-is always
been determined to be the equivalent of 1/2 of the unplatted land. An increase in
Commercial/Industrial property seems appropriate to be considered at this time.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION:
The Commission has been asked to comment/review on the proposed 1990 Parks
Dedication Policy, with recommendations to the City Council. The recommendation
should be made either at this Commission meeting or the Advisory Commission meeting
in December.
KV/bls
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.
B. Complete, construct and pave all trails identified in the City's
Trail Corridor Plan concurrently with the roads in their
developments (i.e., grading with site grading and paving with
street or parking lot paving.) No park dedication credit will be
given for connecting these trails to existing or proposed trails
identified in the City's Trail Corridor Plan.
C. Complete, construct, and pave trails which may be required, as a
trail link connector betwe fisting trails as identified in the
City's Trail Corridor Plan. ich trails may be with residential
street right-of-ways. No pars dedication credit will be given
for these connecting links.
D. Establish park boundary corners for the purpose of erecting park
limit signs. The developer shall contact the ap ropriawe Parks
and Recreation Department personnel for th=E- P u, rpcse of
identifying park property corners.
E. Provide sufficient public road access of no less than 300 ft. 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 (b) which

Developers shall be responsible for making certain improvements to
their developments for park, playground and public open space purposes
as follows:
g 4
F. To be eligible for park dedication credit, land dedicated is to
be located outside of drainways, flood plains or ponding areas
after the site has been developed. Grades exceeding 12% or are
unsuitable for parks development shall be considered for partial

significant amenities such as, but not limited to swiimn,ir,g pools,
tennis courts, handball courts, ball fields, et, 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 ,nds for
public recreational facilities to serve the development, the
Director may recommend to the Advisory Parks and Recreation

equivalency of twelve acres per thousand population.
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 1985 of 3.5 residents for single
family, 2.8 for duplex, 2.1 for townhouse/quad. and 1.9 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 units per acre or 2) zon-d density.

THE CITY IN LIEU OF SUCH CONVEYANCE EDIITIO , ALL AS
PRUVIDED BY SECTION OF THE CITY CODE.
I. 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 deve E opmen ¢ of I and
f Or residential, commercial/industrial purpose- is essential to the
maintaining of 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 our
future citizens.
It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park,
playground and public open space within a municipelFty is directly
rc'ated to the density and intensity of developr--,+, perm t ed and
lowed within any given area. Urban type devel c ; rr s mean g ater
doers 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 T i n t murl co munr i t y
criteria for meeting the needs of the r , i, ui;4 of Eagan. In order' to
meet the community needs for parks and ,-n 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.

DATE: OCTOBER 27, 1989
RE- TRAPP F PARK- LE 1'01 7',- , r H, ST_ , 6T1i 1~ It1"ff ;
BACKGROUND:
Several months ago the Lexington Pointe 4th, 5th and 6th additions uF~ pfl:a,fedl- This
land is within the Lexington South PUD and hasp
dedication. The development is immediately north and west of the 1 ; r _ r T pp
Farm Park (See Attachment). Staking for the Lexington Pointe Additions occurred
recently, and the impact was immediately noticeable to Trapp Farm Park, as the property
corner appears well into the land considered to be part of Trapp Farm Park. Staff has
requested the developer to review the staking of this property for potential err~;,r the
survey. It wouldn't be the first time in Dakota County in which p pc ri~ cy
boundary has overlapped. There is a possibility that it could 7;,~1,~?s s. d here;
therefore this must be reviewed.
ISSUE:
The issue before the Advisory Commission is if the survey is correct, there may be ' loss
of trees which are along the northwest boundary of the park, but not within the sr' BAs
had been previously thought. These trees are contained well within the pro
of residential development and therefore might very i 1t be lost as n ssi of horn
construction and grading activities. The second concern is for the impact oil the park with
"psychological encroachment" of the homes into the park.
HISTORY:
Trapp Farm Park was dedicated to the City without the benefit of t. ; !t r pls c ti by
legal description, The property boundaries were described at an o s - q~ < < u the
Director of Parks and Recreation. Although there was not the br.;rr°i king, the
distinct impression given to the department was that many of the trees on the site were
within park boundaries, and those that were not would probably be along the back
boundary lines. With the actual platting of Lexington Pointe's Additions and the
subsequent staking, it became evident that the trees were not on park property, and well
within the plat. Therefore, many of these trees may now be lost due to activities
associated with home construction. Staff has asked the developer to resurvey the property
to ensure there are no errors or the possibility for plat property overlaps. This overlap
was experienced when Wilderness Run Road was extended and the Sheffield Addition was
platted, some years ago.
Attached is a reduction displaying the platted property of lots and a tree survey indicating
the major, significant trees, the majority of which are Oak.
Members of the Advisory Commission may, if they have the time, visit Trapp Farm Park
on their own to review the staking of the lot lines for themselves. The limited daylight
hours prevent a joint tour to the site for this purpose. Staff hopes to have available for
the Commission a video tape to help the Commission visualize this area.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION:
To review the impact of the Lexington Pointe Additions adjacent to Trapp Farm Park and
potential impact to valued vegetation, given residential development. Commission may
wish to review the possibility of acquisition of those lots for inclusion into the park which
are the most significant.

coordinating the selection, training and supervision of the seasonal winter staff.
HOCKEY ASSOCIATION USE:
The Eagan Hockey Association has held its registration. The depai ' i will bp n- 11 i r~_ to
for 21 teams. The number of teams is the same as last year,-,r, onk t: c
groups will use Saturday ice time. The older age groups ha, indoo 11 H; ! -gays.
Approximately 50 hours of practice time per week will be required to fulfill thc Association's needs.
Prime time requests are for Monday through Thursday evenings. The good news is that week-ends will
be available for community skating. The bad news is the need to spread practice hours during the week,
retaining available ice for department programs and for open neighborhood skating. Attached for the
Commission's information is a preliminary view of scheduled ice time for this winter.
ATTENDANCE CONCERNS:
Staff will be monitoring the attendance at Woodhaven Park this season. The warming house is one o
the two remaining original structures, Lexington Park is the other. It is likely that the Woodhaven
building will require major repair after one more skating season. Attendance for tliL past two ,sons
has been low; 220 being the largest crowd last season, the most frequent figures hex _r 1 t t : L rs
during the hours recorded. Alarming numbers of zeros have not yet occurred, howe1 , v,i; i. it
that will occur more frequently this season.

APPLICATION SUMMARY
An application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary Plat for
the Coventry Pass 2nd Addition consisting of thirty-nine single-
family lots on 20.1 previously zoned R-1 acres along the east side
of Dodd Road. The site is currently Outlot B of the first addition
which was final platted on October 3, 1989.
The site has been rough graded and utility construction has begun.
During that process, the grade elevations changed from the original
plans. This affected the ultimate development of the agricultural
exception that lies between the first and second additions. After
meetings with that property owner and United Mortgage, plans were
prepared that satisfied all parties. However, this changed the
street configuration by directly connecting (potentially) the two
areas. That is the reason for creating the outlot in the first
addition and for this Preliminary Plat. As proposed, the lots meet
R-1 lot requirements and vary in size between 12,325 square feet
to 42,780 square feet.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATION:
Based on the study of the financial obligations collected in the
past and the uses proposed for the property, the following charges
are proposed. The charges are computed in accordance with the 1989
fee schedule as adopted by the Council.

Sanitary Sewer Trunk 505 $655/Lot 39 Lots $25,545
Storm Sewer Trunk 505 .056/S.F. 757,073 S.F. 42,396
Financial Obligation $67,941

to any existing City public utility line which results from
the proposed site grading and development.
5. The development will be required to i tch the exist n stree=t
grades provided in the adjoining Country Hollow development.
6. The development is required to adhere to the City's maximum
3:1 slope criteria.
7. The development is required to provide storm sewer to
adequately accommodate the storm water runoff which is

CITY O EAGAN
SU ECT: REZONING - WHISPERING WOODS 5TH ADDITION
APPLICANT: BII SVILLE LUMBER CO., INC.
LOCATION: SW 1/4 SECTION 31
EXISTING ZONING: AGRICULTURAL
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: OCTOBER 24, 1989
DATE O REPORT: OCTOBER 19, 1989
REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
APPLICATION SUMMARY: As a requirement of action taken in
Whispering Woods 4th Addition, an application has been submitted
requesting a Rezoning of 9.5 acres for Whispering Woods 5th
Addition located in the SW 1/4 of Section 31.
BACKGROUND: Whispering Woods 4th Addition was approved at the
April 5, 1988 City Council meeting. The application included a
Preliminary Plat for 27.7 acres and a Rezoning of 5.7 acres from
A to R-l. The Preliminary Plat for the Whispering Woods 5th
Addition was included in the 27.7 acres. However, the developer
did not rezone the 5th Addition at that time. Burnsville Lumber
Company did not want to rezone the entire 27.7 acres in order to
avoid a change in the real estate tax rate prior to actual
development. Condition 13, Whispering Woods 4th Addition, states:
"Subsequent rezonings to R-1 districts shall be required with each
phase of development prior to the preparation of the final plats."
PROPOSAL: The current application is to rezone 9.5 Agricultural
acres to R-1 Single Family. The 5th Addition includes 23 lots
which vary in size from 12,069 square feet to 19,718 square feet.
Access to the lots is from Four Seasons Drive, Four Seasons Court
and Whispering Trail.
COMMENTS: The developer anticipates only one more phase (or
addition) after the 5th. Of the 14 lots platted in the 4th
Addition, nine have been sold and the developer is holding one.
The approved plat and the proposed rezoning are in conformance with
the City's most recent Land Use Guide Plan (D-1 Single Family, 0-
3 units/acre) dated August 1988.
