12/07/1989 - Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: VRAA, DIRECTOR PARKS RECREATION DATE: DECEMBER 4, 1989 RE: DECEMBER 7, 1989 ADVISORY C 41SIO 1EETI:'C The December 7, 1989 meeting will be this Thursday, at 7:00 P.M. After the approval of the minutes of the regular meeting of November 2nd, 1989, it would be approp ate for the Commission to deal with the three (3) development items under Consent Ag°„t_w;. As is typical, staff has included the planning departments packet information on eac` _ ! these developments within your packet materials. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL There is a single development under Development Proposals entitled the "Diff't /Cedar Plan Development" by Koldt Properties. Members of the Commission n»y remc,:-nhcr that this is a site that was once proposed for "Splash Land" development y 1 Uo, Staff has been dealing with this development for several months, and di of issues involved (some of which are still in question), this development item r quires a postponement until the January Commission meeting, but an informal review at this time will be held. OLD BUSINESS The first item under Old Business is in regards to Highview Park Addition, which is a residential plat immediately north of Highview Park. You may recall that this sub-division was required to provide a trail connection to the north with the preliminary plat. Apparently this recommendation went unnoticed as a requirement during the preparation of the development agreement. However, when brought to the attention of the owner, there were strenuous objections. Staff has done an extensive review of this and has prepared for you a separate memorandum. This memorandum now indicrtt .s that due to the potential for a new street previously considered not feasible, the de"-eiup7 x t of this trail may now be meaningful to provide the trail connection/link to thht° p ;ri, t1 i the north. The proponent for the Highview Park Addition will be pi s nt at the Advisory Commission meeting to present their case. 1. ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING PAGE TWO DECEMBER 7, 1989 Sly. C', ALL REPORT At the November Advisory Commission meeting there was a request for a sand volleyball court to be constructed in Kettle Park. Staff was directed to prepare a report concerning this item as it relates to overall placement of sand volleyball courts within the trail system and this particular park. Attached is a memorandum prepared by department staff pertaining to these two issues. WATER ULI JCL N WATER PARTNERSHIP NT Superintendent VonDeLinde will discuss and update the Advisory Commission on the water quality project and also inform you of the approval for the Clean Water Partnership Grant Application made several months ago. You may also want to be aware that John VonDeL has been pl 'nted to theJ i Quality Task Force as an official member. TRAILS DEDICATION POLICY Enclosed in the packet is a memorandum concerning trails dedication, alc.: .>i attachments regarding trail dedication ordinr nd policies. The Advisory Cc:,i :n has been asked to make a recommendation cot-~cc,",,x'ng this trails d5-d cw ion to t e City Council. NEW BUSINESS There are two items under new business, one of which is the 1990 f.u.a_ goals objectives. Each year staff prepares for review and modification, by the Advisory C _jtnmission, objectives for parks development and improvements in the ensuing con b sit on year. Typically, this overly anxious program is prepared for your review and com~ient in terms of priorities and deletion of particular projects. Staff will also provide you with a composite analysis of the project's completed since 1985, which utilized both bond and park site fund dollars. . ADVISORY COMMISSION M,E'i`i G PAGE DECEMBER 7, 1989 IANDSCAPE POLICY- A "'k 1 It is staff's intent to review the second half of the Landscape Policy, which covered requirements for new sub-divisions to protect existing plant material or provide for new plant material within sub-divisions. This work is being done by the Planning Df-,p<la tr ent through John Voss. Mr. Voss, at the present time, is recovering from a he.r i t a r_ „1~ . I, however staff expects this will be taken care of at the earliest opportunity, wi+ i tl.c rc,-3ults given to the Advisory Commission for the ep as c 1 ri a r n t s. OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS There are several items for the Advisory Commission's attention, but not require- x ici<,.l action. always, if members of the Advisory Comm issio- able to attend the notification to the department is appreciated in advs. Respectfully h.bnitted, Ken Vraa, Director of Parks Recreation KV/bls Attachment S.

Michele Swanson seconded the motion and amendment with all members voting in favor." CONSENT AGENDA Dick Carroll moved, Ted Billy seconded with all members voting in favor to recommend to the City Council approval of the following: 1. REZONING - BURNSVILLE LUMBER CO., INC. That this parcel be subject to a cash parkland dedication. That this p;ucci mJly be subject to a cash trailway dedication dependent on the enacted policy at the time of City Council approval of the final plat. ADVISORY PAR a AS AN RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 2,1989 MEETING PAGE 2 COVENTRY PASS 2ND ADDITION Jim Sturm explained that Coventry Pass 2nd Addition is for 39 singlLL t 1. ".Ay homes on the east side of Dodd Road. During the rough grading of t E is part cI Ac. c c as a discrepancy in the grade to serve the future needs of the adjacent Parent at~a;,-w rty. After several meetings the decision was made to change the location of the road within the plat. Due to the change in the plat the issue is being brought back before the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission. Mr. Sturm explained that the lot layout is the same except for the change in the road. Steve Sullivan reminded the Commission that thay had reviewer issue in January of 1989. At that time they reviewed three ,Rlz ° ~ es and chose a park site in the southeast corner of the site. The parkland acquisitioi equates to 141.45 lots and the remaining lots would be subject to a cash dedication. Coventry Pass platted 59 lots and the proposed 2nd Addition has an additional 39 lots. These 98 lots have fulfilled the parks dedication through the parkland dedication and the subdivision would begin providing a cash dedication with the platting of the 142nd lot. Mr. Sullivan further stated that there is no Commission action required at this time. T Commission recommendation made previously is still effective even with the the road location. Dick Carroll noted that the construction of an 8 foot bituminous trail from Country View Drive to Prairie Ridge Road within Outlot B, which was part of the original recommendation, should be graded so that the trail will be able to be used effectively. Jim Sturm commented that all grading requirements would be met to fulfill the requirements set forth by the Advisory Parks and Recreation Comr~-, ssio~1. SHADE Tlla:l /LANDSCAPING ORDIN:k CL Ken Vraa explained that the existing ordinance covers diseased trees, maintenance of private property and weed control. In the packet is a list of proposed changes to the ordinance and Ken suggested going through each of the changes o there is an understanding of what is being proposed. This project hac tccn a jo:At effort between Parks, Public Works and Planning to determine the most b ic=ei precgnm for the City of Eagan. Additions to the policy include Tree Contractor Licensing which applies to all tree service contractors performing work in the City, including services contracted by governmental units. Uniform planting standards creates uniform standards and gui` ! -,lir -s for the placement of trees within public right-of-ways and enforcement for non-co r Master street tree planting plan and tree maintenance standard! V establis?ic ,ixt~a ,t standards for the pruning, spraying and maintenance of tre~:s A :x; F public r ~ ! 1 ct ~ Sys. This requires the public to comply with standards. ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 2, 1989 MEETING PAGE 3 Other new additions include Shade Tree Disease Control and Prevention by defining standing dead trees as a public nuisance, Also included are "Forester" and duties of Forester which defines qualifications of forester; grants powers and duties; requires pesticide applicators certification. Notification of property owners authorizes forester to notify owners of property to abate nuisances; defines expiration period for non-compliance. Maintenance of private property adds language related to the treatment or removal of insect infested and diseased trees on private property. Mr. Vraa explained that the master street planting plan would involve collector streets primarily and would define planting schemes and species that would be placed, i.e. Wescott would become the responsibility of Forestry Department to maintain within the right-of-way. If individuals wanted to plant within the right-of-way they would need to be within the limitations of the master plan. Shawn Hunter asked where the ordinance section r s r . e s beinL ranted within a right-of way at least 10 feet from the back of curb camne from. Dic° Carroll noted that the 10 foot right of way designation is normal for most streets. Dick Carroll suggested that going with one variety in the master plan on a given street may not be a good idea; rather a variety of types, colors, heights, etc. should be considcrcd so that the potential of a disease destroying one species will not affect all the flaa~E:-. Dick also felt the master plan should reflect that trees should be 30 feet apart=ta=ci° Shan 20 to allow them the proper growing space. Ken Vraa stated that it will be nice to have an ordinance to cover these issues but there is a greater need to get this information to the public. An informational brochure should be made available for distribution which includes prohibited species. George Kubik commented that he appreciated the condensed version of the ordinance outlining all the changes and additions. Ken Vraa stated that there was no need for action on this item tonight but comments from the Commission are important. Dick Carroll congratulated all those that have been working on these ordinance revisions and sees this project moving in the right direction. George Kubik suggested that perhaps information from other communities would be helpful regarding the right of way distance. Ken Vraa noted that they have discovered, after checking with other communities that the standards for planting within right-of-ways are anywhere from 5 feet to 10 feet. ADVISORY RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 2, 1989 MEETING PAGE 1990 PARK DEDICATION FEES Mr. Vraa explained that the Commission was being provided with past dedication fees, current dedication fees and input from other Twin Cities suburbs regarding their park dedication fees. He further noted that the park dedication fees have been based on average land values. There continues to be a strong single family market which has increased the demand/price for property in the last 12 to 14 nseuths whereas multiple family use has dropped in use and demand. Currently, most a s i k c family property is being sold in the $20,000 per acre range. Also enclosed in the r e f FF ,rt is staff's suggestion of the range for 1990 fees. Mr. Vraa continued by stating that the trails dedication issue has yet to be resolved. Currently developers are required to construct trails at the time of their development. It has been requested that the trails dedication fee be separated from the parks cdct ication fee. Developers, while not opposed to a trails dedication fee, have looked % i Ii issue as an impact fee. With the adoption of a separate trails :_'cdH'-<n n f ce they .w;ee that undeveloped property may be paying for already developed property. tit n ; any questions still remaining the trails dedication issue is yet to be resolved. Relative to commercial/industrial property, Mr. Vraa explained that historically this fee has increased incrementally each year. Enclosed in the report was a breakdown of other communities and their park fee structure for the Commiss" n to review and compare. Ken asked the Commission to consider til rc hcfnQ i-- ckl mcl m' >i c their recommendation to the City Council. Dick Carroll noted that the Water Quality Committee is thinking about using a rate structure similar to the park dedication fees and careful consideration should be given to setting up the rates so that they will be consistent and appropriate. George Kubik noted that he felt the dedication fees proposed by staff seemed equitable. After further discussion, Ted Billy moved, Dic C seconder' l members voting in favor to recommend the following park dedi ion fees for 1! to the City Council: ousin Type Average Market Value Cash Eq. Per Res. Unit Single Family $15,000 - $16,000 per acre $685/Unit Duplex $17,000 - $18,000 per acre $600/Unit Townhouse/Quad $20,000 - $22,000 per acre $535/Unit Apts/Multiple $22,000 - $26,000 per acre $540/Unit Dick Carroll moved, George Kubik seconded with all members voting i favor to table the commercial/industrial park dedication fees until the December 7, 11 `-1, eeting. ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 2, 1989 MEETING PAGE 5 TRAPP FARM PARK Ken Vraa provided the Commission with an overview of Trapp Farm Park noting that this park was dedicated to the city without the benefit of a plat; completed by legal description. With the actual platting c` L vvton Pointe's 1i''ans and the subsequent staking, it became evident that the trees thought to be o-- y ~N s e in fact well within the plat and not on park property. Because of thi disc- rrs._; sy of the trees thought to be a part of Trapp Farm Park may now be lost due to f) E oposed home construction. Steve Sullivan continued with a video presentation showing the actr'l lot lines in relation to the park. The video showed that by losing the lots it „ ,^uld in c, upon the sliding hill that has been used at this site. Lots 9, 10 ar-( 11, ?r , I i torsi Pointe Fifth seems to have the most impact on the park. 711W MO'A i ideo: gent to the north line of Lot 11 and the southwest line of Lot 9 s the Corn i's! .;;rn could see how the elimination of this land would impact the park. Ted Billy asked about the cost of the lots and Mr. Vraa responded that the information hadn't been provided to him as yet. George Kubik asked what the time lire was for construction on these lots. Mr. Vraa stated they art, anticip,~'a ng bef construction this winter; the base road construction is ti ; i m l 1 l v wore would be the next phase. Mr. Kubik asked if there would be an option to pug E°€iase the lots from the developer. Mr. Vraa responded that staff suggests that some of ¢h ; lots be acquired but would need the Commission to review the issue and recommend to the City Council what their requests would be. He also noted that the approximate cost of the lots is expected to be in the "mid 20's". Dick Carroll asked if the boundaries would be rechecked which Mr. Vraa responded affirmatively. Mr. Vraa also noted that he .-d aske; l ? r= 2: Swenson not to market these lots until this issue could be discussed an l ied, Sandy Masin asked I . quickly the boundary check could be done and Ken responded that it was to have been completed last week but no results were available for this meeting. George Kubik stated that he would hate to see this park short changed considering all the monies that have been spent to develop it to the degree it is and felt it was necessary to pursue the purchase of lots to insure the integrity of Trapp Farm Park. Mr. Vrtvi status.: that the lots could be purchased usir g the Park Site Fund but that would close so. otf~c r- options for future park develop i t at this time. Ted Billy expressed his concer E for the dollars that would be spent but st-ted that once there are homes on the hill any option for preserving that as parkland is gone. ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 2, 1989 MEETING PAGE 6 After further discussion, George Kubik rn ` ed, Shawn Hunter s&-A'ond d with all members voting in favor to give authority to staff to negotiate, if necessary, the acquisition of 6 lots (Lots 9, 10, 11, 12, Block 3, Lexington Pointe Fifth Addition and is 9 and 10, Block 2, Lexington Pointe Fourth Addition) to preserve the integrity of Trapp Farm Park. 1989-90 WINTER SKATING :JT Dorothy Peterson explained that she and °Zc = Vraa he-' with the Eagan Hockey Association to discuss the 1989-90 skating season before it g, underway. At the meeting maintenance, creating base ice, rink classification and scheduling were some of the items discussed. It appears that there will be 21 teams looking for ice time through the hockey association. The proposal that was presented shows 47 hour" for ice time with Tuesdays and Thursdays being the most preferred use. There will nurs -provided on Saturdays for the little ones since the older participants iii bc; , time then. EHA has agreed to return ice time they do not use H h,-, s b°1kc°dl it t c r i=-idividual teams from the master schedule provided by the City of n. The breakdown of ice time shows City lessons as well as broomball leagues at Quarry Park. Carnelian is not being used for hockey practice because there is only o rv c rink which may preclude use by pleasure skaters. Woodhaven will be used as an site if necessary for extra practice or if adult broomball 1+ - need tot is J. George Kubik asked how things look for future years. Dorothy responded that the sudden growth in the hockey program was last year and they do not anticipate a large growth next year. Woodhaven has seen a loss of growth probably due to the increase in Sky Hill use. George also asked how the warming house was progressing at Well Site Park. Ken Vraa explained that it is up and ready to be shingled and should be completed by the middle of next week. PARKS DEVELOPMENT Steve Sullivan explained that Contract 89-12 for Northview Tennis courts is nearing completion. The punch list is being completed with only a few minor items remaining. Contract 89-19, parking lot and pedestrian lighting at Ohmann and Thomas Lake Parks will be completed yet this year. Contract 89-20, Bridle Ridge hocio,v rink lightin ill begin on Monday. Contract 89-23, miscellaneous i ails and Thorr~ s Ll : t t :zct 89 clearing and grubbing beginning this fall wit] n in the sr-, Northview parking lot, will see the contractor sti. kaii; finis week with Cite hi ` _niiious being installed next spring. ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES NOVEMBER 2,199 PAGE 7 HAPPENINGS George Kubik asked for a description and update of the Community Education #196 Youth Connection Council. Dorothy Peterson explained that this is a program for youth development in all school districts. The monies available for this project are to be spent to create a directory to inform folks of services available to youth. School District 196 is the only one of the Youth Connection Council with youth as a part of the group. All other groups are adults only. The youth in this group 'ave become very involved in this project. The middle school youth feel the need fu o,r r; ,pp{ Uii on, i.e. pep buses for away games, to movies, shopping, etc. The adults on tht : > E :ii want to prowl ce some action to the requests so the young people don't get discouraged and think nothing is being done. It has been a very interesting and cooperative effort so far. Dorothy commented that over 300 participants visited the spook trail this year with many volunteers on hand to help. George Kubik asked about the progress of tl r I , € * = r1 _ meeting. Ken Vraa responded that there are no conclusions to date but they are gill working on the middle ground with some counter offers. We should hear something more in 2-3 weeks. WILLMUS PROPERTY Ken Vraa showed the Commission a visual of the property acquired and a possible park layout of the property. He noted that School District #196 is loni z i - o t the 10 acre parcel next to this park and they wanted to know if the City is iiitci :,'t,xd in a joint venture similar to the Woodland School site, if the land is acquired by the ,1ool District. It appears that the City Council and School District 196 are very comfortable with the idea. Ken wanted to make the Commission aware of this possible joint involvement and will keep them posted on this item. WESCOTT STATION PARK - POND IMPACT ATA l : ' IS Steve Sullivan explained that a re-evaluation was done recently on Ponds JP16/17/18 as they impact Wescott Station Park. Pond JP-16 within the northwest portion of Wescott Station Park is half on park property and half on property owned by West Publishing. The potential development for West Publishing would result in a great deal of water run-off. Although West P---'-)Iishing is anxious to continue with development all rcople involved were anxious :u= a -^s the water run-off, water quality issue before proccc,J € w g. Pond JP-17 is a second", .-y ; .;nd and Pond JP18 is a dry area. ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 2, 1989 MEETING PAGE 8 After much review and analysis it is slug gested that Pond JP-16 rr: ater elevation should be set at 875.0 with a high wal e r level not to ~e roposed elevation. This normal water c l ovation would provide min' € volume. 'f wet volume is desired for nutrient trapping and sedimentation the pond could be deepened without significantly influencing the park function or wildlife. Pond JP-17 normal water elevation should be set at approximately 858.0 with the high water elevation not to exceed the 863.0 elevation due to the quality and quantity of significant trees that would be affected. This normal water elevation would provide minimal wet volume. The high number of trees and shrubs located below the 858.0 normal water level should be removed with the storm sewer improvement. The high water elevation for Pond JP-18 could be increased to 862.0 but should not exceed an 867.0 elevation. This will provide additional water into the basin enhancing the wetland character and wildlife habitat. The engineer should evaluate the connection of the two (2) separate ponding areas as well. Modifying the basin to inc Fw 4.e volume for nutrient trapping and sedimentation should not be considered. Thy e i If g of the pond would negatively influence the parkland character. George Kubik commented that it is helpful and reasonable to look at the long range plans for this development. Ken Vraa commented that this is an item that almost slipped through the cracks and Steve Sullivan has spent a great deal of time analyzing the situation so that a solution could be reached. This information is provided to keep the Commission abreast of the activities impacting Wescott Station Park. KETTLE PARK REQUEST Steve Sullivan explained that he had talked to neighbors who shared an interest in placing a sand volleyball court and open skating area within Kettle Park, Steve felt it was important to bring these types of requests to the attention of the Commission. Sandy Masin questioned the cost of p=:w ~lc be l ~s e icubik expressed concern for the room needed to ins tall this type of f,'u" i h ty _.4 this site. Steve explained that the very south triangular corner of the park could possibly support a court but more information would need to be compiled before building at this location. Steve also mentioned that while it may be possible to construct a court at this location the Commission should consider whether this is a facility that should be placed in a community park rather than a neighborhood park. Another consideration would be whether this court would be used for the purpose it is intended. ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 2, 1989 MEETING PAGE 9 Ken Vraa explained that this site has too much run-off to do a skating rink and would require regrading and re-design to make it work. Dick Carroll also noted that the pond was not a good option for skating because it is used for MnDot run-off. After further discussion staff was instructed to do a mini study to determine the options and costs for additional facilities at this park. ARCHITECT INTERVIEWS Ken Vraa informed the Commission that interviews for prospective arch sects for park shelter buildings will be held on Monday, November 6. Ken Vraa, Tour £ ledges, Dorothy Peterson and Steve Sullivan will all participate in the interview process and Ken invited any interested Commission members to attend. George Kubik commented that any member interested in participating would find this a very informative and educational process. OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS George Kubik stated that the Natur aI Rdcsf ss.urcc s `="N',~,:ic ;hould be worked on over the next few weeks and asked if any information had ,een received from other communities. Ken Vraa responded that John VonDeLinde would be able to respond to that issue, however he was not available this evening. George asked if the Commission would be reviewing park plannin c for 1990 and Mr. Vraa explained that staff would be establishing a list of priorities for i 1)")U along with a progress report on what has been completed in 1989 and what will be cif r~ over into 1990. Dick Carroll commented that the next Water Quality meeting will be November 16 for final review before going to developers on November 29 and then on to the City Council. Copies should be received this month for review before the December meeting. With no further business to conduct, Sandy Masin moved, Ted Billy s ;conded with all members voting in favor to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 P.M.

ANALYSIS Contrary to Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission staff report dated Daly 29, 1988, Engineering Staff has re-evaluated the future road alignment fr nl Hip? ti<<:~~~ T.rmre to lls ~ c rem . ± of c ~ Skyline Road and found it to be feasible. This review and w the up-grade of Skyline Road. This Highview Terrace rya z = c ve a~eAit wou 1 J he recommended at the time of subdivision of the adjacent Delosh property. Therefore, the northern portion of the Park Service Area would have both pedestrian and vehicular access to Highview Park. All pedestrians within the Park Service Area would be less than 3/4 mile from Highview Park. CONCLUSION Staff's evaluation, based on Engineering determination that, Hot-view .'e ~ cc will continue to Skyline Road, concludes that the trail easement does provide eff , ctive pedestrian circulation to Highview Park. FOR COMMISSION ACTION The Commission may consider one of the following recommendations: 1. The proponent be responsible in providing a 20' trail easement from I I 1 ~.it ;V Avenue to Highview Park. 2. The proposal omit the Commission's previous recommendation for a tray: SS/nh attachments SkGNW-W 3 579aG • w.ii •R <.~.-e~, ~~u,`i ~.~'r'i~~ •^i se"°8{ ~°'ask.~,8f"}j 1w i, t i f W w_ "IN r X a n~ f ! i r. 3z ! tlt ® ,r I gay ~s~x c Ile r Jj, 6 M, 4725 OLSON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY • MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55422 PHONE: (612) 544-0304 November 20th, 1989 FAX: (612) 591-1445 Stephen Sullivan - Park Planner Jim Sturm - City Planner City of Eagan re: Bike Trail Easement -b Highview Park Addition Dear Sir(s): It has now come to our attention that there is a "bike trail e t °xr.ez1t" that supposely was held and approved without our knowledge or approval in 1988, that would allow access across two of the three platted lot(s) for our small three lot development, now in For final approval.

Please note: We went? not noti iF-« rri advance of this "bike trail easement." The following are some of our objections to this "bike trail easement" regarding the Highview Park Addition Development. They are as follows: -No Bike Path currently existing on the Front Side of t'ip'..,e= lots on Highview Avenue -Lots are not able to give up to 20 of their board r .1ra for the Bike Path, based on the site desired to bui2d square feet, inorder to merit the costs of development fees, cost of the land, and cost of commissions, and other misc. costs -The Owner(s) of these lots would not enjoy their privacy with a Bike Path running through their property -Initially, in the Pliminary Plat Approval, this Bike Path was never part of the conditions for approval at that meeting ip- 1988 -No monetary gains for the owner (s) , i,-f-- - x e v- 1 of these lots, as it encumbers them -The Question is: Why should one owner/de-a l=F_aT. ~ivt "on surface easement' ' if : a.

THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 4, 1988 Meeting Page 2 CONSENT AGENDA The following consent agenda items were presented for approval. On a motion by Wayne Sames, seconded by JoAnne Alt with all members voting in favor, the Commission approved recommendation to the City Council of the following items: 1. YOCUM OIL CO. - Conditional Use Permit. That this plat be subject to a cash parkland dedication. 2. GALAXIE CLIFF PLAZA - That this plat be subject to a cash parkland dedication and that a five (5) foot sidewalk be placed along the west side.of Galaxie Avenue. 3. VINCENT J. KENNEDY - Waiver of Plat. That this plat be subject to a cash parkland dedication. 4. WOODLANDS 2ND ADDITION - That this plat be subject to a cash parkland dedication. 5. SUNCREST ADDITION That this plat be subject to a cash parkland dedication. 6. SENECA PLANT ADD. - That this plat be subject to a cash parkl and dedication. As a note to the record, JoAnne Alt questioned the area shown in the Galaxie Cliff Plaza drawings showing an area identified as park. Ken Vraa noted that this was merely an open space area and not a park as identified by the Parks and Recreation Department. JoAnne Alt expressed her concern that the public may perceive this as a City park and felt this point needed to be clarified. Director Vraa noted that he would get a clarification from the developer on this issue. HIGHVIEW PARK ADDITION Parks Planner Sullivan reviewed the proposed Highview Park Addition for the Commission stating that the property currently had one home and the owner wanted to subdivide the property into three single family lots. The Advisory Planning Commission has denied the proposal c+ern =d by the proposed lot widths at the setback line which is not co ii ; t with the existing lots within the neighborhood. The issues that the C scn will need to address are, should the preliminary plat provide a trail-- nascment to Highview Park and what are the parkland dedication requirements. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 4, 1988 Meeting Page 3 Mr. Sullivan indicated that the distance to the Highview Park and lack of a future north/south connection may warrant the need for a trail easement through the proposed development. The placement of a 20 foot trail easement between proposed lots #1 and #2 would provide a direct connect ion to ighview Park from the northern residential area. With the implementation of this trailway the furthest walking distance would be approximately 3/4 mile to the park. Wayne Sames noted that in the past the Commission has asked for an access easement for larger developments but questioned if they had required the same for a development this size. Director Vraa responded that this specific request has not come before the Cc---nission in the past. Sandy basin asked if the trail access was for safet suns or more for convenience in reaching the park. It was noted that the -rent access to the park was via the streets in the neighborhood, that safety was not a specific issue but the trail would shorten the distance to the park from the northern residential area. Wayne Sames asked if the easement would negatively affect the proposed lots. Director Vraa responded by stating that the lots were approximately 12,000 feet so the 20 foot access should not impact the lots negatively. After further discussion, Bob Porter oved, Wayne Sames seconded with all members voting in favor to have the d-- ~oper provide a twenty (20) foot trail easement between Lots #1 and tt2 and GEaV a cash parkland dedication be required. WESTCOTT SQUARE ADDITION Steve Sullivan outlined for the Commission the proposed Westcott Square Addition which requests the preliminary plat of seventy-one (71) townhomes on 9.83 acres currently zoned R-3. The proposed plat is located within Neighborhood Park Service Area 14 which is serviced by Woodlands School/Park, located 3/4 mile from the proposed Westcott Square Addition. The first issue for Commission review is to determine whether the existing park service area adequately services the park user population. If it is not adequate, Mr. Sullivan suggested that the Commission consider alternatives such as providing a mini-park or requiring the developer to provide on-site amenities to supplement the existing parkland. Mi i-parks, by definition, are provided only when a park need in an area cannot fulfilled in any other way. If the Commission determined, after review, that a mini- park would be appropriate in this case, parkland acquisition would be necessary. Mr. Sullivan noted that the Westcott Square Addition would provide little opportunity for parkland acquisition being encompassed by streets. Another alternative for the Commission to consider would be to have the proposed multi-family developments provide on-site amenities to supplement the existing park and to service the residents within the development. This typically occurs in large, high density areas. 'Page 22/CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 16, 1988 change the past practice of the City but had not researched the matter in detail. Council member Egan stated he felt it -ty l icy to not assess for a charge of this type. The applicant questioned that if they did not re-plat, would there be an assessment. Assistant City Engineer stated there would be no assessment. Mayor Ellison stated he felt it was In p ropr to asses Cliff Road but that they should assess now for ash asset t. Councilmember Egan stated the City should not L it there are no improvements. Gustafson moved, Wachter seconded, the motion to approve the °preliminary plat/re-plat of Cedar Cliff Commercial Park 5th A ition, subject to the following conditions: 1. These standard conditions of plat approval as .opted by Council action on September 15, 1987, shall be o n lied with.- B-l, B-3, C-1, P-i, and G-1. 2. A cross easement shall be provided along the western property line of Lot 2. All voted in favor. The Council discussed the assessment motion and the matter sent to staff for clarification. PRELIMINARY I I ADDITION City Administrator Tom Hedges stated the Advisory Planning Commission at its last regular meeting on July 26, 1988, held a public hearing to consider a preliminary plat for Highview ark Addition/ Mildred Hanson consisting of three lots on a 2.27 1 single family acres. The APC recommended denial of the application. City Planner Dale Runkle stated Lot 7 originally was approved as a single home site. other lots in the area had been split one time, all are at least 100 feet wide. The lots proposed meet the R-1 requirements of 12,000 square feet and are 85 feet wide at the 30-foot setback line. However, if line is drawn between Ithe existing home on Lot 7 and the home on Lot 6# the lots are only in the 80 foot to 85 foot width area. The major concern regarded the large lot integrity of the original Highview Acres Addition. When, Highview Avenue was improved in the early 19.80s, one utilit-y service was provided in anticipation of one split to the lot. wage 23/CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 16, 1988 Gloria Fritz, real troki- r presentinb the explained and demonstrn~4% d hr., the a to r: Eat men- ; ? tback requirements. She resent-d to the ro ail a copy Of 1_ City Codes which had been provided by City staff. John Camp, Tri-Land Survey, demonstrated how all Codes were met by the preliminary plat. Mayor Ellison asked City Planner L kle if it di meet Code. Mr. Runkle stated staff felt it Id not meet the proper width. Co cilmember Egan stated there was a ',actual c t4 QrA =end asked if the garage could be relocated. The applicant s%.-- it zu1d be relocated, however, the driveway would inconv - nient. Councilm ber Wachter asked if there was a home on Lot 8. The applicant stated there was a home on Lot 8. Mr. Wachter stated that if the garage was moved, the line could be moved over. The applicant . that it was an existing garage and that the 85 foot frontage i: met at the 30-foot setback. r. Runkle stated the requirements to the width would met, mayor Ellison asked if staff would be comfortable with that and Mr. Runkle stated yes. Jim tickle, 1426 Highvi , stated his lot atbjutt edition. He submitted a detailed letter to the Council. star` rghvi has large lots and he wants to maintain the lot size in th{ area. He outlined several items for the Council to consider. Councilmember Wachter stated the lots were split in his area and that if assessments come, large lots are not as desirable. He stated two lots would solve the problem. Mayor Ellison questioned if there %5--e ground to reject. City Attorney Jim Sheldon stated that if th ~pli. n t t the requirement, Council the discretion determine if the lot lines are "substantially" at i ht ngles. Council member Egan asked how the Council could flaunt their n requirements. Be a stated the lots still qualified for estate zoning and that they are large lots. Be stated felt the problem could resolved if garage were removed. Co cil ber Gustafson stated that if the garage were moved, there would be 85 feet all the way through and he would feel more comfortable with the proposal. Councilm mber Egan stated it was a factual dispute which existed and that if Code was met on the setback, felt the Council could not set a 100 foot width requirement on the lot. Page 24/CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 16, 1988 Councilmember McCrea stated that it r- c the intent of the requirement to make sure the house has enough room. Paul o y stated the lot sizes are not consistent with the neighborhood. Councilmember Egan stated the Council must act reasonably according to the law, or the courts will force the law upon the City. He stated the lots are not by any sense small lots. Dr. Craig Sollberg stated the other homeowners should considered and he recommended denial of the triple split. Brad Swenson stated the developer was willing to move the garage and straighten the lines. Councilmember Gustafscn Mated there are utters to considered, (1) the wishes of the homeowners and (2) the character of the neighborhood. Be a stated those two matters would have to be balanced against the laws. He stated he was hard-pressed to deny the proposal. McCrea moved, Egan seconded, the motion to approve a preliminary plat for Highview Park Addition/Mildred S. Hanson consisting of three lots on 2.27 R-1 single family acres, provided the lots' width meet or exceed the 85 foot requirement throughout. All 'Voted in favor. The applicant stated they might not be able to meet the condition. Scott Ilde stated the neighbors should consider adopting covenants to protect future splitting.

MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION >ION FROM: STEVE SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER DATE: JULY 29, 1988 SUBJECT: HIGHVIEW PARK ADDITION PROPOSAL The proposal requests the preliminary plat of three single family lots on 2.27 acres currently zoned R-1. BACKGROUND The parcel supports an existing home which is proposed to be platted on one of the three lots. (See Figure #1) The parcel lies directly north of Highview Park. The Advisory Planning Commission denied the proposal. Their primary ccnLcrn was the proposed lot widths at the setback line; they are not consistent with the existing lots within the neighborhood. ISSUE The Commission will need to make recommendations regarding t' Ir)IIow°.g issues: 1. Should the preliminary plat provide a trail easement to Highview Park. 2. What are the parkland dedication requirements. ISSUE #1 The existing residential area north of Highview Park includes approximately sixty-seven (67) lots. Pedestrian access to the park from this area is provided along the public roads to a trail section al Pilot Kri,i'L Road. Pedestrians proceed south on Pilot Knob Road to SkylinE . oad, th;rvn wc-t to Highview Park. The furthest walking distance is approximately 1-1/4 iTiies to the park. (See Figure #2) The future development of both Prettyman Heights and Ridgehaven Addition does not provide a vehicular or pedestrian link between the residential area located north and south of the park. The Engineering Department assessment concludes that steep terrain located directly west of the park suggest that a north/south road will not occur in the future. The distance to the park and lack of a future north/south connection may warrant the need for a trail easement through the proposed development. The placement of a 20' trail easement between proposed lots #1 &2 would provide a direct connection to Highview Park from the northern residential area. The furthest walking distance would be approximately 3/4 mile to the park. (See Figure #3) ISSUE #2 Staff has reviewed the value of a parkland dedication. The minimal land amount provides no benefit to Highview Park. Therefore, Staff recommends a cash parkland dedication. FOR COMMISSION ACTION The Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission may consider the following recommendations: 1. The developer provide a 20' trail easement between lots #1 & 2. OR The developer provide no trail easement to Highview Park. 2. The developer provide a cash parkland dedication.

DATE: NOVEMBER 22, 1989 RE: SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS BACKGROUND At the November 2, 1989, Commission meeting, staff presented a letter from Daniel Smith requesting that a sand volleyball court be placed in Kettle Park. The ensuing discussion drew attention to several issues in reference to sand volleyball courts. Direction was given to staff to research what other communities are doing to provide a point of departure for discussion. ISSUES The umbrella issue regarding sand volleyball courts is where do they belong; in community parks, neighborhood parks or a mix of some scale. Who will use sand volleyball courts? Casual, reservations, leagues and in what What direction does the anticipated level of use for dete r HJj,:8, the i uphy toward placement of sand volleyball courts? And, what guidelines should be developed in order that a consistent approach, as with other park facilities, is taken? ANALYSIS Attached for the Commission's review, is a synopsis in Hf 3 i , ' o m of a survey of six (6) communities regarding sand volleyball courts. The criteria used for selection of communities to study were: Cities of similar size, Plymouth and Maple Grove; neighboring cities, Apple Valley and Burnsville; and cities known to have programmed sand volleyball activities, Eden Prairie and Roseville. In all instances, discussion was held with recreation staff. SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS PAGE TWO NOVEMBER 22, 1 9 Placement of sand volleyball courts: All of the communities surveyed had at least one court in a community park. Four of the communities had four or more courts in community parks. Roseville, with nine (9), closely followed by Burnsville (8) had the most. The communities having only one sand volleyball court had placed them at swimming beaches. Four of the six (6) communities had placed at least on- v ' ~t~a_'. court in a neighborhood park. Apple Valley alone has placed this facility in more than one neighborhood park. Rationale for lace ent: The rational for placement is community parks i t. t provide sufficient parking for leagues, to a pl b F ~ component of a is 3 c r _ , br o E ° G to a system for checking out equipment from an attendant. Where neighborhood parks are concerned, only Apple Valley views sand volleyball courts as a "nice amenity"; their four (4) courts are by far the most compared to the other communities surveyed. Burnsville reported responding to a neigi borhood z ruest. The individual who was contacted volunteered that prior to H t : o )rhood yb t urts fit request again, their department would review the issue of into their park system. A general observation of the six communities is that the major focus for placement of sand volleyball courts is in community parks. Court configurations: The most common configuration at an athletic site is two courts, side l- t F c alone has built a set of four in a square. (Future preference would be Picnic parks typically have one court, as do beaches. Use Patterns: Five of the six communities run sand volleyball leaguer, n one (1) to five (5) nights per week. In all instances, the leagues began as horn winter leagues and gained their own momentum. The community that has no leagues, has tried, however a private concern appears to be meeting the needs of the community. SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS PAGE THREE NOVEMBER 23, 1989 Staff's general impression, from speaking to recreation staff from these communities is that they do not necessarily have a substantiated use "count" of the courts in neighborhood parks. The comments listed, perhaps reflect staff bias. Rentals and reservations for sand volleyball courts in the C < < where picnic parks are concerned; the court is included wit?; sites, when not being used for leagues, a frequent procedure is, ~i st c,- s 7 e first sere ed basis, issue a volleyball in exchange of holding a driver's license. Roseville alone has developed an elaborate reservation and fee system. Facility esi„r yrd Construction: Sand volleyball courts are relatively simplistic in both d i e and co action. Facilities are laid out in a north/south orientation. The in-boulid., exert is 2 - " wide by 59' - 0" long. At mid-court a 29' - 6" long net extends from sideline to sideline at several different heights dependent upon the user group. Out-of-bound lines extend around the 29' - 6" by 59' - 0" parameter and across the center line. (See Figure #1) The out-of- bounds area typically extends 15' - 30' beyond the service line, and 10' - 15' beyond the side lines. Surface types range from turf, bituminous, concrete, woo' (.i ; _ ) 11-,J sand. A sand type volleyball court typically has a 12" minim sI depth and screened sand. The sand is contained with parameter t 1_1e+i or cr The court and timbers are set at the same grade as the adjacent ,.,m klarR t safely accommodate play which on occasions extends beyond the facility par.: -Inc= er. In consideration for this at-grade condition the sand bed is placed below surface and therefore needs either french drains or drain tile to take storm water ram the facility. Ideally, a sand volleyball court should be located in watersheds ilninimal volumes of storm water are directed to the facility. Facility Costs: Staff has evaluated facility costs for single, double and quad sand volleyball court facilities. As well, a comparison was made between construction by contractual and city forces. The cost totals are as follows: COST COST CONTRACTUAL CITY DESCRIPTION FORCES FORCES Single Volleyball Court 3,075.00 1,691.00 (See Figure #2) Double Volleyball Court 5,334.00 2,836.00 (See Fl 3) Quad Volleyball Court 3,296.00 4,977.00 (See I } SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS NOVEMBER 22, 1989 PAGE FOUR In the case of each facility type there is a A 6 Between contractual forces and City forces. This cost d:i en ti:;l s result of non ap lied labor and machinery costs by City forces. In regards to cost effectiveness between different court types, the results indicate a logarithmic savings with the increased number of courts per facility. There is a 13%-16%® value efficiency of $546.00 (City forces) and 16.00 (contractual forces) between the implementation of two (2) single cour' c. (7 ) double facility. There is a 1.2% - 13% value effici~, -i,-, ,r $695.00 (C' i, and $1,372.00 (contractual forces) between the implementanot-o (2) &,rl and one (1) quad facility. Lastly, there is a 24 - 26% cost eft uic=cy of $1,78,7.01 (City forces) and $3,004.00 (contractual forces) between the implementation of four (4) single courts and one (1) quad facility. Facility Maintenance: Maintenance for a s id volleyball equipment and exper.s,. c. Every ye<Err, .n _ t c 1 . n.... d. N boundaries typically remain during the season. Routine would involve 11 raking of the surface, preparing it for play and raking in of sand which has spilled beyond the parameter. Weed control is best serviced by active usership, although soil sterilization or weed barrier fabric at implementation and, or a 12" minimum dc)th of s,-ix-r' :u further reduce/eliminate weed growth. Each year prior to use the sand b1'; i,c-t s?~c l -r irified and additional sand added to replace that which is lost througio z s-,11,, EAGAN VOLLEYBALL The department's fall volleyball leagues host thirty (30) teams. Winter leagues will be forming in the next two weeks. It is anticipated that more teams will participate in that the gymnasium at Dakota Hills middle School is available for the first time. An attempt to project how many of those teams woul~A volleyball league would be a "best guess". A conservafi e 30% wo-jih._~ to a nine (9) team league. This approach, however, ignores possible interest from 'c_~ns formed only for sand volleyball. SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS PAGE NOVEMBER 22, 1989 CONCLUSIONS Results of the survey suggest that the most prevalent placement of sand volleyball courts is in community athletic and picnic parks. Special case requests for placement in neighborhood parks such as parking, "fit" with the park's master design and cost/bt r c is. The question was not asked, however, it might be interesting to Know whether the communities surveyed include sand volleyball courts on their facilities standards lists. It may be that these facilities are need driven. From a recreation program perspective, the time to offer a new program or plan for increase is when its general popularity is at a high level. Roseville, for example is planning four (4) more courts as they are at maximum capacity of use on existing sites. With the planning processes eminent for the Lexingtor/Di !ey site and for Blackhawk Park, it is appropriate that the Commission explore and determine this City's approach toward sand volleyball courts. RECOMMENDATIONS The Commission may wish to establish standards for numbers c;.' I volleyball courts in the parks system And/Or The Commission may wish to propose a policy that sand volleyball courts are a suitable facility in community parks. And/Or The Commission may wish to establish a set of criteria under which a sand volleyball court would be constructed in a neighborhood park.

Specifically, the report will address: Water Quality Planning, Comprehensive Storm Sewer Update, and Cleanwater Partnership Grant. d1l The w c co, t-ne t tys WWI" r Cuality Task Force will soon be coming to a close with the planned adoption jai a "lira drain Comprehensive Water Qualilty Plan. At the time of writing this memo, the Task Force has been working to resolve two pending issues in the planning process. The first of these issues has dealt with the formulation of a policy requiring developers to miti ac ,ative Imp; " ; to water quality as a result of land use changes and increased runes. 'se of the ~ ®';r`ially significant financial outlays related to such a policy, the Task Fo e n t:;,7' sensitive to complying with authorities granted to municipalities am 1 furt' i (-f.-iring that the policy is both reasonahl_ :feasible to community. have centered around three primary points. The first of these has involved ining to sxtent developers should be responsible for treating nutrient runoff - Li crated wl-bl - :heir respective developments. In light of the degraded condition of virtually of 7 agan's r bodies, it was agreed that post-development phosphorus export should not c d in all prnevr,!opment ^onditions. The committee has gone on to define pre- t" jivalent to an "open space" or "undeveloped" character c i rict requirement which suggests that on-site treatment i:rt:z r ;s ;ive to meet city standards. In cases where on-site ui to topographical considerations, or small size of the development, the de p:,r vv. ill be required to mitigate such impacts through a "cash-in-lieu- of" policy. In each case the sole discretion for determining pond development vs. cash dedication will remain with the City Engineering Department and City Council. The second urr'°r "d "ielopment policies" was the ertah!! "rent of market values in, connectio I* c fications. Thes , are important to the p i:.nn,3 c, determining the -'mount of cash contribution vhen ~r ~i.m 'e or onl-i partially feasible. In an effort to treat developers and equitable i lion, the Task Force has decided to adopt the land use values cunentl, ng employed by the Park and Recreation Commission in the effectuation of recreation it pact fees. As Commission members will recall, these values were recently updated by the City Council and will be similarly reflected in the Water Quality Plan. A third opr 'ert issue he- di "'ith the design of mitigation formulas and the method r r ald be the developers vis-a-vis the planning document. One t l „ to use the Walker Pond Net Model, on their sizing c: t :anent basins and/or corresponding cash mitigation c o ments. Others have argued that it would be far simpler to present cash .u i; : g hi-, form using land Gve classification and size of development to determine APB IS RY PARK AN'_' RECREATION ON DEC ~:MBER 1, 1 g PAGE the corresponding cash per acre values. At the last Task Force meeting it was concluded that a series of simple graphs and charts will be used to assist the developer in determining the approximate of r acted c tsh con:::-ibWon. However, the "official" Walker Pond Net Model will no v, t, r ford dcI;'- -ion equivalents and/or pond configuration in it mdj c„ M r t c al ins will be made by the Engineering jai a and will rbe -,(-a* )ct to f, irthr nr 1 tion with the developer. The, otner topic of discussion for the Task Force, has been the establishment of a long- range capital improvements program as part of the water quality plan. During the initial stages of plan development, it was assumed that a detailed action program would represent the final culmination of the planning process. However, as the Task Force has delved deeper I to the topic of water reso&_ ;es planning, GIP writing no longers appears as simple a process t can . did . R nt, f are i~,:<,; fr r ' to this conclusion. Tt ' - 1--ds inventory has e ale a m jcii 1 and exhaust ries of ponds, pr. a _aI lakes then the corn i ,tined. 1, 3 fact the inventory has listed more thin 350 water bodies, c>oo a in or larger - most of which have already been connected to the city's complex storm water -'rainage system or will be in the near future. This fact alone makes planned improvements more difficult. The Task Force had also assumed that representative water samples could be collected in 1988 to refine runoff/nutrient loading models, thereby more accura'~ly predicting- future influences of and use change on in-basin water quality. t..infort tl- - t y---r "1 t I id the runoff sampling program.

VorDeLinde Superintendent of Parks { JKV/nab MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: ECE I:1 1, 1989 RE: CITYWIDE TRAILS DEDICATION BACKGROUND The purpose of this memo is to briefly cover the 11:10e of tr,,' dedic,jti : At direction of the City's Assessment Committee - City tdti- has r ~ ~<<ar :d a ui. t proi,` for the establishment of a separate Trails Dedication Ordinance. The proposal would separate trails dedication from the existing Parks Dedication Ordinance into two (2) separate and different ordinances, one for trails, one for parks. Attached is the draft ordinance which is self-explanatory. A memo prepared for the Advisory i Fir.. w ; ing Commission concerning this is also attached. REVIEW PROCESS A public hearing was held before the Advisory Planning Commission. The AC'" Planning Commission approved the proposed ordinance unanimously. The isst directed to the City Council, and at the direction of the Cor-,Icil the item was revi: by the Developer's Task Force. The item has now been d1 to, he ;attention ui !~t~ Parks and Recreation Commission for review and pou:a of differences between what is proposed and the comments of the Develc j s Td,s% I 'rce. DEVELOPER TASK FORCE COMMENTS At the Developer Task Force meeting, several questions and comments rega-d H, proposed Trails Dedication Policy surfaced. The positic=_ c t',,e summarized as being in opposition to the "sep . je fi.° c 1 ; y Lee"; and they are very much opposed to impact fee.,,. opposed to a fee for trails, if the fee remained as part of the cu-1(i nt ' dedication fee. There was also opposition to the concept, because some future trails construction would be required where development has already occurred, and the proposed cash trail fee rn undeveloped land would be used to pay the cost of these trails. They did not feel appropriate to have undeveloped property pay for the construction of trails a. development had already occurred. TRAIL DEDICATION PAGE TWO DECEMBER 1, 1989 (It has been estimated that between 16.5 and 20 miles c t i k -ire property already platted or developed). There was also a concern expressed that adding One Hundred Dollars ($100) to the dedication fee for multiple/apartment dwellings would be too high, given the current land values of multiple zoned property. The task force felt that an in- ease of $100 in single family units was within reason but too high for apartments T~ fr c _it ten (I0) units an acre, there would be $1,000 for trails dep.= i _•<tt iosi and $4,270 . r total of $5,270 (1989 rate). This, they reasoned, was too high of a dedic~ ion rec;l. c cnc given the current land values. Other issues that were discussed, included trails acquisition costs, application of the trails ordinance to PUD's that have already paid parks dedication fees, and application to developments that have already installed trails within t h ° -,r devc opment, ' t have undeveloped property remaining. Would they then be rcqu.r , : i case 1 ic,11 it' ~I requirements for trails? DISCUSSION The chief reason for the proposed change in the current policy, is that the cost of future trail construction would then be equally spread out over the rc, nm h ' - - property. Costs for new trails in "developed" areas would also be funded throe, h - mrocess of Trails Dedication, rather than the current assessment practice. Another justification for the policy change is that trails construction could be done with a formalized approach, rather than a hit-and-miss approach. The current, scattered approach leads to trails that begin and end no where in particular. Placing cash trail fees into a central trails fund to finance construction, in a timely manner, would seem a better method. One of the reasons the developers may want to i 's'fsa the trails crbr; ~ the existing park dedication ordinance is that land values place a "cap" o fee structure. Theoretically, if the combined dedication is based on land values, a combined park dedication and trail fee cannot exceed the "reasonable" limits courts have placed on park dedication. TRAIL DEDICATION PAGE THREE DECEMBER 1, 1989 OTHER ALTERNATIVES Another alternative might be to collect a fee with all building permits, Residential, Commercial and Industrial. This could be a deferre A parks dedicatio requirement; that is a requirement of the plat, but deferred until th,.-, p :n.`t is 11cd. This method works to the developers advantage as they s fo1: 10 n amount as they would if it was required at the time of the fir I pl t. This does c use additional work for the building department, as a search would have to be made to determine where the lot is located and if it is responsible for a trail fee payment. Lakeville Trails Dedication is both cash and trail. Developers are required to pay a cash dedication, and if they have a trail noted within their -ub-eli='isi( must build the trail. This is a 5/8 trail policy, with the developer paying f ~-)f the trail - which must be 8ft wide and the City paying for 3/8 of the traf_`. ilt r--l, would than fully redeem the cash portion of the trails dedication, as well s the construction portion for the developer. It does not however provide the continuity and consistency for trails construction sought. Trails would continue to be built by developers when development occurs. This might also place restrictions on the City's ability to finance trai' s determined to be of higher priority, due to a lesser cash dedication req,U i, -,d and ct n-a = t) the City and for paying out the 3/8 match. CONCLUSIONS/ALTERNATIVES 1. The Commission could recommend implementing the proposed ordinance, making modifications it feels are appropriate. The concept of a separation between park and trail dedication, would then be activated. 2. A second alternative is to leave the _i < A policy as is, with no changes whatsoever; continuing the existing policy. 3. Modify the existing parks dedication ordinance, requiring a cash dedication for trt~ k. Developers would no longer be required to install trails themselves, unless the , i is are along privately constructed streets. In this instance, a cash dedication would still be required, but a reimbursement by the City to the dev taper would be made for the construction of that trail, based on a lineal foot c , 4. Recommend one of the two other alternatives presented, or perhaps another not yet offered. TRAIL DEDICATION PAGE FOUR DECEMBER 1, 1989 SUMMATION The developers task force, while not necess:~rdy opposed to what appears to be an impact fee. They are also opposed, to a ft is established in part to pay for trails within "developed" areas. Each alternative will have its advantages and its disadvantages, with no single alternative able to meet all desired objectives. FOR COMMISSION ACTION: To review the various alternatives and bear in mind the concerns of everyone; make a recommendation to the Council. KV/bls t .

Currently, is one adopted policy document governing both parkland and trail dedication. This policy requires park dedication by all developments at specified rates.

To provide pare equi..`I,le dedication system And to ensure completion of the ii as pl-,nned, an amendment to Chapter 13 of the City Code and r=visions to the Park and Trail Dedication Policy are being proposed. LO° The proposal consists of three component-: n ordinance amendment to Chapter , a Park Dedication Policy, .d a Trail bed.i.caticn Policy. ordinance amendment (see Attac,ment 1) establishes a separate land dedication and/or cash contribution process or trails in addition to that required for pa-l-land 'edicat on> the proposed Park Dedication Policy (see Attar e._,nt 1 ratp_ and standards for dedication o_" ) ' land ii ors E-,, - ion 13.20, Subdivision 8A.2. of tie City Code.

The purpc this poll stribute the cost of remaining trail conE ruction equ* eE si_sten t 1y to all future development benefitted by such 4 - all an adequate mechanism to pay for remaining bail %,;ia i:a "Uit1Of. The proposed rates for trail dedication are $100 per residential unit and $859 per acre for commercial/ industrial development. These rates were determined by comparing the amount of --,otential future developirent with costs for remaining trail consti A.0 n. The and Recr ition Department estimates that pnroxi.,,w eltx -z le trails ; -e tified in the Ti- ils Syst Plan h y t o be construct td. Construction are e ~d at ly 3.5 million dollars, based on cost of $31.75 per lineal of construction. Remaining future development within the City has been estimated at approximately 2,000 acres of commercial/industrial property and approximately 18,000 units of residential development. Dividing the estimated construction costs by the amount of future development yielded the proposed rates. Under these policies, total fees for park and trail dedication would become $625 for single family residential ($100 - trail, $525 - park) and $3,037 per acre for commercial/ industrial ($859/acre - trail, $2,178/acre - park.) While this represents an increase for some developments, the fees for others, previously responsible for trails abutting or within their developments, may decrease or increase only slightly. The combined park and trail dedication rates are consistent with the range of fees required in surrounding jurisdictions and will ensure adequate revenue to complete the trail system. It should be noted that the Council may adjust the required rates in the future should construction costs increase. PROCEDURE The proposed amendment to Chapter 13 of the City Code requires a public hearing process before the Advisory Planning Commission and the City council, with action being taken by the Council upon recommendation of the Planning Commission. The Park Dedication Policy and the Trail Dedication Policy can be adopted by resolution of the City Council. This process provides more flexibility for periodic revisions which may be needed to accommodate possible fluctuations in construction costs and development potential. Although the Planning Commission will be making a recommendation only on the Code amendment, the policy documents to be adopted by Council resolution have also been included for informational purposes.

All of the sce: eboards were donated by local organizations, Another large scoreboard was donated by the Lions' Club this fall and will be erected at Goat Hill Park in the spring. During the fall, maintenance workers Steve T.~r'or it Dan Cu. I r c infields in the expansion area of the Nortl r e w 't ! r . Ridge Park. These fields are expected to be ple „ during tr B. Irrigation - Early in the spring, maintenance worker Gary Skogstad made final preparations for activating the irrigation system at Rahn Park. This work included installation of the booster pump and controllers, setting of irrigation heads and minor troubleshooting. The system is currently the largest of the City's, entailing 34 zones and an operating window of some 80 hours per week. In August, the Maintenance Division f n 11_ art em at Northview Park.

Hockey Rinks - In June, mainteno. . ;:.ars Scott Eppen r.,. uI Graham undertook the replacement of the old hockey rinks at Rahn Park. Thes rinks were originally installed in 1974 and represented the oldest and most deteriorated in the system. Ni v fencing on the rinks was installed under contract, and the painting and staining accomplished by the Summer Youth Restitution Progrem. Later in the fall, t,, hockey rinks were also installed at Bridle Ridge Park by r ni oz ve S -e 1; Don Buecksler. With these changes, t. h sys + rr Juc " of rinks, the oldest being constructed at Wood' tee n F 1. D. Shelters - In November, work was completed on the r:-iw warning shelter Site Park. Commission members may recall that this item was reviewed at the September meeting and represented a new and economical approach to the construction of -13 "seasonal" shelter building. In late October, framing of the shelter ,~o l t d by F,f,~3rr the Sussel Garage Co. Recently, all interior and exterior work, p insulation, windows and doors was completed by n a .nto ioy Skogstad, Paul Graham and Steve Haddon. The new uE1 n stone €r: u,rr,~ i time for the start of the 1 3/1990 k t s< E. Playgrounds - 1989 r _ _ -r::ed another aggressive year for the i of playgrounds in the City's neighborhood parks. New playgrounds were de.:ir°ied and installed at Kettle, Bridle Ridge, Slater Acres, O'Leary and Northview Parks. The olde "traditional" equipment at Cedar Pond was also removed and replaced w`", a new creative play structure. Several Youth Programs as ist E1 in the inct 11. in of a perimeter and base around the Country Home arch a 1 and rr the perimeter at River Hills Park.

A smaller, portable type dock, was installed by City forces in Thomas Lake Park, prior to the grand opening. The Summer Youth Restitution Program and Twin Cities Tree Trust also participated in water access improvements. Specifically, the e r°'jr*s included the installation of a concrete block (keystone) retaining 1 rn .13 South Oaks Park canoe access/beach area, and the construction of, 10 1 blankets within Heine Pond Park. H. Park Amenities - As reported in thr r s "Happenings" the maintop= a staff was involved with the installation of various park r. u1 ring th construction season. These included: grill placement in ThomE ".ake, O'Leary id Trapp Farm Parks; installation of athletic benches at Sky Hill, Meadowland and Quarry Parks; and the installation of numerous concrete waste receptacles and park benches in various locations in the park system. 2 I. Landscaping - The Forestry Division had another successful and ar, gr, r f tree planting in the Eagan Park System. Spring planting began at Thomas L F -:11 was the site of the 1989 Arbor Day celebration. LE sing of Mueller Farm r also accomplished during the month of May. The fall months again proved to be the mss ;parks and public sites. Among the fall accomi bmrr It . ir~t t i €s . Stations #4 & #5, and implementation of Phase I plantings at K+ the and bridle Ridge Parks. All told, over 2,200 trees and shrubs were planted, irrigated and mulched in 1989. 11. MAINTENANCE This section of the Maintenanc 1 w( c.t , pf, etE~~#F=-:, in the area of Parks Maintenance and C ,)erations >ince it we ' ' bu, ' tpos to ove the maintenance programs in depth, the following discussion will only highlight on the major accomplishments and new programs of the 1989 season. A. Extended Maintenance Program - One of the major programmatic chc involved the institution of an "extended m . ntun ic °rogru n. 1, facilitated through the hiring of z Park ,,p (at i ; this position's duties has dealt h airal personnel during evening and v ha:)urs. accrued to the Department from this changer inclu+ ',ad: of evening and weekend park attendants/balifield attendants, exten hours for the park shelter buildings and pavilions, more effective use of m .nt's capital equipment through an evening/weekend grounds mainter.a.: °n, and more effective coordination and supervision of restitution workers and rs. B. Bituminous Maintenance - The E tumi ;c. r t "r 'n a i err season of implementation in tha E7- were the overlay and . c l cc : r'; g of Highview Park; and the sea?lcoating of parking lore in Rat.:. id II Pr also marked the first year of instituting a long range compreher j - , maintnruan ice program for the City's boulevard trails. The program began with a 'ailed inventory and rating system in the fall of 1988, which laid the groundwork for future c pital improvement/maintenance planning. From this process, over five mil bituminous trail were identified for sealcoating under the 1989 Progr o110wing a study of other communities and products, a I ''.E ix employed for 1989 sealcoating. This m( ed has thin and aesthetic, and will continue to I: ' 'n the yc s a f C. Turf Maintenance -1989 represented a more favorable and productive year forth and Recreation Department. In responding to the damage created by the drr° ar of 1988, the overseeding efforts conducted last fall, combined with the early =ipri , has helped to promote the speedy recovery of most parks. r, .xaf fpia, members may recall the condition of Walnut Hill : of they t dessicated.

Restitution Programs - The City has continued to benefit from the services e through the Dakota County and Hennepin County Adult Court Referred Volunteer Work Programs (Restitution), Through October, over 450 hours of volunteer I bbnr h< n committed to the Department. Two notable examples inclu ' ifq off shelter buildings by one volunteer (160 hours), and the pair interiors by another (72 hours). -1 _f working with G. Summer Youth Programs - 1989 represented the four,:i ual s the Dakota County Court Services Department, in ettect ition o th+ ,.iurrlanlor Youth Restitution Program. In addition, the City entered into its tenth con _cutive ye as a sponsoring worksite of the Twin Cities Tree Trust (vis-a-vis Federal Sum:::=per Youth Employment Program). Together, the City garnered over 7,000 hours of h a market value equivalent of approximately $29,750, Th s yoi i crew supervisors, completed 12 individual pro'p',a r examples included the mulching of all City's pork of a retaining wall at South Oaks Park, i rail lin to Pilot Knob Road, and construction of four play ! 10, Pi rrm=-r r H. Park Vandalism - There were two significant incidents of vandalism in the Eagan Parks Sytem in 1989. The first of these occurred at Quarry Park over the July FFo sh weekend. This vandalism was targeted at the park shelter building, and 'InCAr°° 1 4 removal of cedar shakes from the roof, discharge of fire extin on The carpeting, two broken windows, damage to electrical wiring and t he : ie, and miscellaneous graffiti. Total damages were $3,057 of which all but $1,000,, c s refun d through the City's insurance carrier. The second incident occurred at Trapp Farm in late October. During separate incidents over the course of two wecks, severe' tables were disassembled, light globes smashed in the p. v: on, hhu broken and graffiti written on concrete surfaces. Unfortui in neitf vandals identified or apprehended by the police. WINTER MAINTENANCE PLAN Each year, the Parks and Recreation Department, attempts to provide the Park Comm' overview of upcoming winter maintenance programs and preparations. This :tinn f+ and includes a discussion of pre-season activities, maintenance standard , i n ncr and other winter facilities. I. Pre-season Preparation - This year, pre-season preparations began in the spring, v ith€ rho refurbishing and painting of all hockey nets. Mesh was tightened or replaced, and no inventoried and organized. This summer, the department was fortunate to obtain the srvi ° 5 of two adult restitution workers, who painted the insides of all hockey rinks and stained the outside of two other rinks. The period of late fall to early December, though, oc ;ur, in late October, the portable ho- ey rink at L 1i~=3r3 the perimeters of several pl°~^ skatin± F~ r ` {irtg water from the base flooding c ration. imin- s , the Thanksgiving holidays, with the high ranger to be le; ?d from the Ci y c. I iutch:. I, c nder an equipment sharing agreement. Other pre-season operations will include: the I, .'ation of safety fencing on the Trapp Farm sledding hill, organization of operational an ' m nlie~, readying of the park shelter buildings, and delivery of gate boards and rats. A I. the season opener is the modification of equipment and trucks to h Groundsmaster mowers are converted from mowing deck t- is and the pickup trucks are outfitted with the requisite II. Base Flooding - Each year, the Parks and Recreation Der, rtr.. nt attempts to begin the base flooding operation as early in the season as the weather permits. Generally, this is sometime during the first week in December. This year, flooding is scheduled to begin on December 4th, and continue through December 15th - the day before opening. The purpos- -f basef1 oding is to establish a foundation of ice, both in depth and surface quality, to afford good Iev Is of skating. To build ice to these conditions, it is necessary to run both of the trucks, on a 16 hours per day basis, during th:; two Wsr 'r f 1,000,000 gallons of water are applied rf;j, nd o { e rat cry is r during the balance of the season under rho i ~ G, u mar ;~k u z = f. Ill. Regular Maintenance - Once the season opens, the Parks Maintenance Division shifts into a routine maintenance schedule. Similar to base flooding, the City's parks w e dividf if into two maintenance and flooding routes. Four maintenance workers are assi^ s nod ro each ; uUte and are responsible for the daily plowing, snow removal and flooding of eat rir k The f uipn I associated with each route includes a plow truck, Groundsmaster snow !hc t o-Jundsme snow blower, and tanker truck. Each day, the maintenance routes f-o1+ ;va 5 of parks to ensure the greatest efficiency in service delivery. When w -thar r w rritions appropriate, these crews spend additional time with edging of the be c keeping gate boards clear of ice. Three alternate empi z e; provide ba mainline routes. These employees work on equipn ,rrs~nance and r Zamboni shaving machine, and per V rrnance of n .i carpentry ta. ; such making and picnic table constrr c ion. IV. Maintenance Classification - For several years, the Parks and Recreation Dep r.:: has used a classification system to give priority to how the rinks will be maintained. In 1 c„ detailed standards program was written, identifying frequency and quality of service for iifferent "levels" of rinks. These levels are known as Modes A, B, C and D. Ur: r this S. priority is given to those sites which are most heavily used b, the c I , a v r qtly programmed for special event progr youtl: i "Mode A" sites are typically give hic' painting, shaving and call out sno r a F, 'At. E)' nn, associated with neighborhood parks; 'sere little or no p D„ miri1 ocr ;d cc e f:i is significantly less public usage. In each case, the level of maintenance services is designed to be responsive to site-specific needs and conditions, in an effort to ensure quality ice services throughou` the skatie :50r1. Through the maintenance classification program, finite deparm xc r e 3 in a rational and appropriate n nrer, rff in expectation. Asa )er1al note, to '0 1, for the cominc' E n en.

A copy of a more specific maintenance standard has been attached to this memorandum f( your reference. With these changes, the Parks and Recreation Department will be maintaining a total of 32 ice skating surfaces, this year. V. Saturday Maintenance Program - In the 1987/!D; Department introduced a Saturday nrntenance i'rn .a; rre on a Monday through Fridays i ilr', with only peril )uts in he <rC ijf heavy snowfalls. However, with a growing number of rinks e rr, id pU'11.Lc usage on the rise, it was felt that maintenance services needed to expand to meet user expectations. The 1989/1990 season will mark the third consecutive year that the Saturday Maintenance Program will be offered. Under this approach, maintenance staff will work a 4:00 am, to 12:30 pm. schedule. Each route will be scheduled for alternating weekends ' u lement< . -arf` y help offered through part-time employees. In this way, a full th= c on each of the two Saturday maintenance r+ ut-- (C{, Classification Program, the level A & B rinks t flooding on Saturday mornings.

Cross Country Skiing - With regard to the City's cross country s i _r m;tere will be one notable change for the 1989/1990 sr r )n. The c~ : ou trill, °hich had been previously located at Blue cu ;s ` .,i s th:s r= year, to Northview Athletic Park, v 0 g~Vi First, Northview Park will offer the cross itry acs ...rrw-:1 p mt,kn' v removal on weekends, flatter gradient access to the trails, more opportunity= Lra 6 topographical variation, and skiing next to a wooded area. . _ tl s Northvi( . site offers a good oppportunity to extend )ss country s i ing and introductory activities to the Eagan High School stc; In terms of trail maintenance, the City will again be "contracting" with the City of Lakeville Parks and Recreation Department for the grooming and tracksetting of the City's cross country ski trails. It is expected that the trails in Patrick Eagan, r' k Hawk and Northview Parks will be groomed at a frequency of two thrr tim e k. Ur.r ` r this program, the City will obtain grooming servic `"4 - r h is less that half the state grant-in-aid "charge-( 4 of the City's trail system, this approach pr As a side note, trail users between the ages of 16 a state cross country ski trail license prior to entering tt Cii.,'- "GIs, procedure has been in place since 1981, and applies to all communities uh agy form of state financial aid. Only those trails which are maintained for cross cc entry skiing, however, are affected by the law. B. Sledding Hills - The Department looks f r•!<ird =L, no i le it ;€°nt the Trapp Farm Park facility. Lc conditions on the hill. The first -f s tt7 idcr ran the north side of the hill, permitting saders t a to u - .u s, v u 3 of the sledding path. The second method involved j jc acing low removal to on., ..;e north half of the parking lot. This offered a large area at the bottom of the hill for sledge s to slow down, thereby minimizing potential impact with parked vehicles Other provisions for Trapp Farm will include setting up the sledding tubes and Stacking of firewood and kindling.

The West P u1 ) 1 site is located north and east of Wescott Station Park. The proposal includes h.' outletting of storm water into ponds JP-16, JP-17, JP-18 located within Wesco Park (see Figure #1). Staff has been working with Bonestroo,`_ Associates, Engineering Department and West Publishing in ar Ig a compatible storm sewer system within Wescott Station Park (Ati,~:_~ Pond JP-16 Pond JP-16 is located within the northwest portion of Wescott Station Park. Approximately one-half of the pond is located on property owned by Publishing. According to the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan the normal 71.7 with a high water elevation of 879.1. The basin is currently water area located centrally. Cattails and transitional grassland (711 perimeter. The normal water level as evaluated by terrestrial to aquatic is the 875.0 elevation. The north and east pond perimeter is void of significant vegetation. The west pond perimeter is characterized by scattered woodlands with both significant and secondary plant material. The proposed 879.1 high water level would inundate 6/18-24" Red Oaks located above the 874.7 normal water elevation. West Publishing/Wescott Station Park November 22, 1989 Page 2 A significant Red Oak woods begins at the 880.0 elevation. The south perimeter of the pond is characterized by a grove 35' x 100' of quaking aspen. The proposed 874.7 normal water elevation would not inundate the aspen woodland. Two (2) 30" Red Oaks ` a 878- 880 elevation are located within the southeast pond edge. These t ' -1 be influenced by the proposed high water level. Pond JP-17 Pond JP-17 is located within the northeast portion of Wescott Station Park. According to the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan the normal water elevation is set at 8591.0. with ~ith;< t t a proposed high water elevation of 871.0. The basin is currently dry open water area located within the western end of the pond. The b number of trees below the proposed 858.0 normal water --1 is typically Cottonwoods, Elm, Cherry and Willow. TI-- scattered shrubs. The north and south pond perimeter is of :,.;c; lr~t l c basin edge is a mix of both hardwoods and secondary type trees. One 30" Red Oak is located at a 858.0 elevation, another 24" Red Oak is located at the 860.0 elevation. 'li?c hardwood vegetation of primarily Red Oaks began at the 863.0 elevation. Pond JP-18 A Pond JP-18 is located within the southern portion of ; -A Park. portion of the basin is located on both the adjacent residential ln~ T1 West Pub l i ; ~ property. According to the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan the normal water eley I! ot is 860.0 with a high water elevation of 871.0. The basin is currently dry wit w L t open water areas located to the south and east. The watershed is basins which appear to have a high point located between 71 1 influenced by any significant woody plant material. The ve~-r,etation is ,i:: transitional type grasses. The normal water level as India t~._°~1 by the t c r o i i:"strial plant material is at the 862.0 elevation. Conclusion Staff provided the following recommendations to B.R.A.A. as criteria for th,U storm water system. The recommendations were as follows. Pond JP-16 Based on the terrestrial/aquatic vegetation transition the normal water elevation should be set at approximately 875.0. West Publishing/Wescott Station Park November 22, 1989 Page 3 Pond J-16 (continued) A normal water elevation of 875.0 el~io vould E',- If wet volume is desired for nutrien4=- deepened without significantly influew nr th par' fu-c4.on (or wildlife. The high water level should not exceed the 879.1 proposed elevation. Pond JP-17 - Based on the terrestrial/aquatic vegetation transition the normal ele-vatit,!; should be set at approximately 858.0. - A normal water level of 858.0 would provide minimal wet volume. If wet volume is desired for nutrient trapping and/or sedimentation the pond could be deepened without significantly influencing the park function or wildlife. - The high number of trees and shrubs located bel w: s.t ate - should be removed with the storm sewer improveme - The high water elevation should not exceed the 863.0 elevation due to the quality and quantity of significant trees which would be indicated. Pond JP-18 The normal water elevation could be increased to an 862.0 , _ u. TIi provide additional water into the basin enhancing the wetland charact;:: and v,ilcI habitat.

This plat consists of eleven townhouse units on 2.5 acres abutting County Road 30 on the north, Thomas Lake Road on the west and south, and the Boulder Ridge Addition on the east. This townhouse proposal is consistent with the existing zoning and Land Use Guide Plan. EXISTING CONDITIONS Due to the lowering of Thomas Lake Road, most of the scrub trees on-site will be lost. However, the landscape plan submitted will adequately replace any lost tree growth. Also, there is a well and septic system on-site formerly used by the farm house that was razed a year ago. SITE PLAN The eleven owner occupied units will be served by one direct access from Thomas Lake Road. This access will connect with the existing internal roadway serving the 71 units (46 are currently occupied) in the Boulder Ridge Addition, and provide relief to this area which is currently served by only one access from Thomas Lake Road. All setbacks are met except for the rear setback on the eastern- most group of buildings on Block 1 and Building 3 on Block 2, however no Variance will be required because the applicant owns both pieces of property and the Preliminary Plat under consideration is the second phase of the existing Boulder Ridge Addition. Setbacks between buildings will meet Ordinance requirements and an overall cohesiveness will be achieved between both additions. The applicant is proposing the same type and style of units found in the Boulder Ridge Addition with the addition of a rambler style. The proposed addition will appear to be a continuation of the Boulder Ridge Addition and not a separate development. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan that will tie both additions together nicely. GRADING/DRAINAGE CONTROL: The proposed development is located in the wooded triangular property in the southeast corner of Diffley Road and Thomas Lake Road. The grading plan proposes to provide a 10' high berm along the north edge of the development where it abuts Diffley Road and a 2' to 6' high berm along portions of the west edge of the development along Thomas Lake Road. The maximum cut is 15' in the northwest corner of the site and the maximum fill is 12' along the west central portion. The majority of the development will direct its surface water runoff to a proposed storm sewer system that will connect o the existing storm sewer in the Boulder Ridge 1st Addition Devel opoent . The existing storm sewer system has sufficient capacity for the runoff from this development and the system drains to Pond BP-4. Pond BP-4 is a designated ponding area in the City's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. The grading plan shall provide for a minimum slope of 1.5% in the backyard drainage swales. Also, erosion control fencing shall be placed along the downward slopes along the edge of the development. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth to serve this proposed development is readily available fror„ the Boulder Ridge 1st Addition Development. Water main of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is provided by the 12" trunk water main in Diffley Road, a 12" trunk water main on Thomas Lake Road, and a 6" water main stub provided by the Boulder Ridge 1st Addition Development. A minor modification to the internal alignment is recommended to allow for connecting to a 6" water main stub on Thomas Lake Road near Diffley Road and then deleting a connection further south that would require open-cutting of Thomas Lake Road. The utility plan as proposed shall connect to the existing 6" water main stub provided by the Boulder Ridge 1st Addition Development and this will complete the looping of the water main system. The final utility plan shall show the individual sanitary serer and water service for each building or lot and the plan shall in lude profile views of the proposed utilities. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: This development is proposed to be serviced entirely by a private street system. Due to the number of units proposed to be served, the street shall be a minimum 28' face to face in width with minimum building setbacks of 25' from the back of the curb. The proposed east-west street shall connect to the stub street provided by the Boulder Ridge 1st Addition DevelopAr<ont and to Thomas Lake Road. A concrete valley gutter shall be constructed across the new street opening at Thomas Lake Road. The proposed east-west street will provide a second access to Thomas Lake Road for the Boulder Ridge Development. The proposed north-south street is designated as a private driveway that will be 20' wide face-to-face. EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS: This development shall dedicate all easements necessary for the internal sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer systems of sufficient width as required by alignment and depth. This development shall be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA, MWCC, Department of Health, Dakota County, etc.) are acquired prior to final plat approval. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - BOULDER RIDGE 2KD: Based on the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the proposed uses for the property, no financial obligation is proposed for consideration.

IwWwia EROSION CONTROL PLAN 3 SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICANT: FRANK'S NURSERY & CRAFT INC. LOCATION: 1/4 SECTION 15 EXISTING ZONING: CSC (COMMUNITY SHOPPING CENTER) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: NOVEMBER 28, 1989 DATE OF REPORT: NOVEMBER 13, 1989 COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted by Frank's Nursery & Crafts Inc. for a Preliminary Plat and a Conditional Use Permit to allow outside storage and sales of garden supplies and pylon sign. COMPREHENSIVE P : The project site is currently designated for CSC (Community Shopping Center) in the current (August 1989) Land Use Guide Plan. No Comprehensive Plan Amendment is necessary. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The 3.63 acre site is located south of Duckwood Drive, east of Eagan Convenience Center and Kinder Care Addition, north of Pilot Knob Heights and west of the proposed Duckwood Square addition. The relatively flat site consists chiefly of open grassland. SITE PLAN PROPOSAL: The applicant is proposing an 18,761 square foot single story building. The split face block and wood siding building will be located on the east half of the lot while the 19,880 square feet of fenced display area and the 5,040 square feet seasonal display polyhouse area will be located on the west half of the 3.63 acre site. The site plan also indicates a 4,050 square foot expansion area east of the main building. The building, as proposed, will meet/exceed setback and building coverage in a CSC zoning district; the project has 11.87% building coverage. The site plan indicates 150 parking stalls (142 are required). Four handicapped spaces are shown at the front of the building. Access to the site is gained from Duckwood Drive in a shared access with the proposed Duckwood Square Addition to the east. An ingress/egress easement shall be required. Signage for the site will be provided by a building mounted sign band and a pylon sign located on the northwest corner of the lot. The landscaping plan submitted was not prepared by a landscape architect. Careful review of this plan was made in attempt to ensure coordination with the Duckwood Square plan. Staff recommends a mixture of overstory, understory and coniferous plant material. The final landscape plan shall be shown on the grading plan. GRADING/DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL: A minimal amount of grading is required to develop the site to its proposed use. The proposed grading plan shows a 4' berm along the south side of Duckwood Drive and a 4' berm along the south edge of the property. The maximum fill on the site is proposed to be 8' and the maximum cut is proposed to be 2' The development proposes to utilize the existing storm sewer along its southerly boundary to handle the runoff generated by the site. The existing storm sewer has sufficient capacity and depth to handle this proposed development. A storm sewer stub with a capacity of 5 cfs shall be provided to accommodate the future development to the east. Storm sewer shall also be provided to drain the fenced display area along the west side of the building. All storm water runoff generated from this proposed development will be directed to Ponds JP-67 and JP-66. The discharge of these ponds is through a storm sewer system along Denmark Avenue to the south to Pond JP-15 and then to Fish Lake (Pond JP-4). Ponds JP- 66, JP-67, JP-l5 and JP-4 are designated ponding areas in the City's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. WATER QUALITY: This development is within the watershed drainage district tributary to Fish Lake. Fish Lake has a water quality classification standard of a Class 1 direct contact recreational water body. Fish Lake has been identified by the DNR and MPCA as having one of the highest rated water qualities of any of the lakes in the seven County metropolitan area. The preservation of this high water quality standard is not only a concern of the City of Eagan, but is one of metropolitan significance also. Preliminary water quality models predict that Fish Lake is capable of maintaining a Class 1 water quality standard if nutrient loading to the lake does not increase. At the time of the preparation of this report, a detailed water quality analysis had not yet been completed. The development will be responsible for limiting the nutrient loadings from this development to Fish Lake to pre- development levels. The possible available alternatives to accomplish this goal are unknowns at this point. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient size, capacity and elevation is immediately available within Duckwood Drive to provide service to this proposed development. A 6" service line has been stubbed out of Duckwood Drive to provide sanitary sewer service. The length of the service line from the 8" sanitary sewer in Duckwood Drive to the proposed building is approximately 450'. Therefore, cleanouts or manholes need to be added on the 6" service line. Watermain service of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is available from an existing 24" watermain in Duckwood Drive. A 6" watermain stub has been provided from the existing 24" water main in Duckwood Drive and the utility plan proposes to connect to the 6" stub. Staff recommends that the watermain layout shall be revised to provide a 6" watermain stub to the east property line for continuation of service to the east. Also, the existing hydrant along the south side of ^uokwcod Drive will have to be relocated if the proposed driveway location remains as shown on the site plan. In order to provide adequate fire protection, staff recommends that a hydrant be located in the southeast corner of the development or in the southwest corner of the proposed Duckwood Square development. STREETS/ACCESSZCIRCULATION: Access to the site is readily available from Duckwood Drive. The driveway access location as proposed is approximately 100' to the east of an existing driveway opening for the vacant property to the north of Duckwood Drive. The proposed driveway as shown on the site plan shall be 30' wide and will he a shared access with the proposed Duckwood Square development to the east. Access to the west is also proposed by reconstructing the existing parking lot in the Eagan Convenience Center. The proposed site plan shows removal of an existing driveway stub street and relocation to the north. Staff recommends that the site plan include curb and gutter around the edge of the bituminous in the fenced display area. The curb and gutter will control the storm water runoff and help to convey the runoff to the proposed storm sewer system. The proposed driveway along the east property line shall be constructed to its full width (30') as a part of this project in case the proposed development to the east does not proceed. All other minor access drives shall be constructed to a minimum of 24' width. All islands in the parking area shall be constructed with concrete curb and gutter. EASEENTIGT-aF-YSIPE ITS: A 40' half right-of-way shall be dedicated for the existing Duckwood Drive. Adequate easements for the existing storm sewer along the south edge of the development have previously been conveyed to the City. Sufficient drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated for the publicly maintained storm sewer and water main that will be constructed as a part of this development. The configuration of these easements will be determined upon submission of the final detailed plans for review by the Engineering Division. The preliminary plat identifies vacating an existing 30' ingress and egress easement that is located approximately 230' south of Duckwood Drive. A 15' ingress and egress easement is proposed along the east property line for the common drive aisle. A trail easement shall be provided to cover the proposed concrete walk along the south side of Duckwood Drive. This development shall be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA, MWCC, Department of Health, etc.) are acquired prior to final plat approval.

COMPREHENSIVE PL : The project site is currently designated as CSC (Community Shopping Center) in the most recent (2 ccus' 1988) Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The proposed project is consistent with the CSC designation. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The 4.06-acre site is located directly south of Duckwood Drive, east of the proposed Franks Nursery and Craft Addition, west of R & B Addition (Simek's Meats and Hardware Hank), and north of Pilot Knob Heights Addition. The site is flat, open grassland with a grove of mature trees at the south end of the parcel. SITE PLAN PROPOSAL: Originally, the Duckwood Square plat included Franks Nursery and Crafts. However, after deciding to plat independently, the proposed retail center will consist of one lot and no outlots. Metro Center Developers are negotiating leasing contracts with Goodyear Tire and a pizza restaurant. The applicant is proposing a 24,495-square-foot, si-ngle-story building. The building material is a mixture-of painted, smooth and rock-faced concrete block with a pre-finished metal canopy. Federal Express is proposing a prototype of their latest one- employee drop-off station (similar to Photo Mat) to be located at the north end of the parking lot. The Federal Express station is approximately the size of one parking stall. The buildings as proposed meet or exceed setback and building coverage requirements in a CSC zoning district. The project has a building coverage of 13.80 r The site plan indicates 142 parking stalls; 141 are required. Access to the site is from Duckwood Drive in a shared access with the proposed Franks Nursery and Crafts Addition. An ingress/egress easement shall be required. Signage for the proposed project will be provided by a building- mounted sign board (stucco facia) and a pylon sign. The landscaping plan conceptually is fine; however, it is staff's recommendation that the plan needs to be "beefed up" with additional evergreens and overstories along Duckwood Drive. Staff has also encouraged the applicant to replace the sunburst locust with a different species of tree. It has been the staff's experience that in commercial developments, the pedials (twigs) can plug storm sewer lines. The plan submitted was not drawn by a landscape architect and the spacings are not completely accurate for recommended plantings; therefore, staff will review field staking prior to the installation of any plant material. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: A minimal amount of grading is required to develop the site to its proposed use. The grading plan shows construction of a 3' high berm along the south side of Duckwood Drive. The maximum fill on the site is proposed to be 4' and the maximum cut is 2' The wooded area and the hill to the south of the development provide a buffer between the proposed development and the existing multiple/residential development to the south. The development proposes to utilize the existing storm sewer along its southerly boundary to handle the runoff generated by the site. The existing storm sewer has sufficient capacity and depth to adequately serve this site. Staff recommends that a storm sewer stub shall be added to the west with a capacity of 6 cfs to accommodate the future development to the west. The drainage from this site will discharge into Pond JP-67 which drains into Pond JP-66 which drains southerly along Denmark Avenue to Pond JP-15 which drains into Fish Lake (Pond JP-4). Ponds JP- 66, JP-67, JP-15 and JP-4 are designated ponding areas in the City's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. The wooded area and the hill to the south of the development provide a buffer between the proposed development and the existing multiple/residential development to the south. WATER QUALITY: This development is within the watershed drainage district tributary to Fish Lake. Fish Lake has a water quality classification standard of a Class 1 direct contact recreational water body. Fish Lake has been identified by the DNR and MPCA as having one of the highest rated water qualities of any of the lakes in the seven County metropolitan area. The preservation of this high water quality standard is not only a concern of the City of Eagan, but is one of metropolitan significance also. Preliminary water quality models predict that Fish Lake is capable of maintaining a Class 1 water quality standard if nutrient loading to the lake does not increase. At the time of the preparation of this report, a detailed water quality analysis had not yet been completed. The development will be responsible for limiting the nutrient loadings from this development to Fish Lake to pre- development levels. The possible available alternatives to accomplish this goal are unknowns at this point. WATER RESOURCES: UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth is immediately available within Duckwood Drive to provide service to this proposed development. A 6" service line has been stubbed out of Duckwood Drive to provide sanitary sewer service. The 6" line to the building will require cleanouts as shown on the preliminary utility plan. Water main service of sufficient capacity, size and pressure has been provided to the development from the existing 24" water main in Duckwood Drive. A 6" water main stub has also been provided from the R & B Addition to the east. The preliminary utility plan shows connecting to the 61" water main on the east property line and looping the 6" line along the south side of the proposed retail center building to the west property line for the future development to the west. An existing hydrant is located in the proposed driveway along the west property line of the development and will have to be relocated as shown on the preliminary utility plan. The size and location of the individual water service to the proposed retail center building will be reviewed as part of the final plat application process. STREETS/CCESS,[CICII TIO: Access to this site is readily available from Duckwood Drive and also from the existing parking lot to the east in the R & B Addition. The proposed driveway opening along the west property line is approximately 100' east of an existing driveway opening on the north side of Duckwood Drive that will serve the undeveloped property north of Duckwood Drive. The preliminary parking lot layout plan as submitted, shows removal of approximately 150' of curb and gutter along the southeast corner of the development to expand the drive aisle along the Simek's Meat Market. The parking lot layout for the proposed development will also complete the drive aisle along the west side of the R & B Addition from Duckwood Drive to the south. The development will be required to construct the entire width of the proposed drive aisle along the west property line and that width shall be 30' wide. All other minor access drives shall be constructed to a minimum width of 24'. All islands in the parking area shall be constructed with concrete curb and gutter. The traffic circulation and parking stall site plan must be approved by the Engineering Department prior to final plat approval. EASEMENTS /RIGHTS -O-RAY/PERMITS: A 40' half right-of-way shall be dedicated for the existing Duckwood Drive. Adequate easements for the existing storm sewer along the south edge of the development have been previously conveyed to the City. The development will be responsible for providing the 20' wide utility easement for the proposed water main that loops through the site and also for the proposed storm sewer that will be publicly maintained. The standard drainage and utility easements will be required along the property lines. As shown on the preliminary plat, a 15' ingress and egress easement will be required for the common driveway to be shared with the development to the west. Also, a trail easement will be required along Duckwood Drive for the proposed concrete walk. This development shall be responsible for insuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA, MWCC, Department of Health, etc.) are acquired prior to final plat approval. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - DUCKWOOD SQUARE: Based on the study of the financial obligation collected in the past and the proposed uses for the property, no financial obligation is proposed for consideration.

The City's Land Use Plan designates this area as CPD (Commercial Planned Development). BACKGROUND: This area was rezoned in 1982 from GB (General Business) to the Bluffview Planned Development consisting of 17 acres allowing a motel/hotel, offices, and other GB uses. However, nothing was constructed and in 1985 the area was increased to approximately 33 acres and the Splashland Planned Development and Preliminary Plat were approved. Splashland would have been a water theme park, but the final plat was never completed. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is highly-visible as one enters Eagan from the north. The applicant is proposing to take advantage of the views towards the Minnesota River. The land is open grassland, falling gradually to the northeast property lines where it then falls dramatically. Adjacent land uses are the Superamerica Stores to the west, the E-Z Mini-Storage to the north, Cedar Avenue to the east, and Metcalf Jr. High School to the south. Enron Gas Company is also along the northeast corner of the site and Cable TV/North Central is being included in this Planned Development with a possible relocation of their building elsewhere on the site. Staff has met with both companies, as well as the applicant, in an effort to determine any concerns they may have with this proposed development. PROJECT SCOPE: Two apartment courts with 140-unit twin buildings are proposed near the north portion of the site. The three-story buildings are situated overlooking the river and Minneapolis skyline. The buildings would be smaller than the Carriage Green Apartments along Lexington Avenue and Yankee Doodle Roads. Surrounding these buildings would be four townhome clusters consisting of 216 total units. The design goal is to integrate the areas through extensive pedestrian linkages, as well as to the retail area along Diffley Road. This service/retail center would contain approximately 100,000 sq. ft. The building has the capacity to include the Cable TV/North Central facility if the two parties so desire. The 496 units give the residential area of approximately 33 acres a density of 14.6 units per acre. A service road to the Enron facility is located along the eastern property line. The plan, as shown, is conceptual, however it appears all building and parking requirements can be satisfied. Due to the large number of residential units, a phasing plan may be desirable. This would control the growth of the project until such time that the initial phase can be evaluated by the City before construction of additional units. The applicant feels that the megamall in Bloomington will be a major contributor to the development of this site since it will employ approximately 14,000 people. ENRON GAS COMPANY: Enron's major concern was having direct access to the facility, as well as the buried gas lines on the site. Enron, Minnegasco, NSP and Peoples Natural Gas are users of this faci.Iityya This facility is NSP's main feeder to St. Paul and Minnegasco's to the north. The facility is a point of exchange where gas supplied by Enron is distributed into the local utilities pipelines. Gas pressure is also reduced from the trunklines to the local lines. Enron typically generates two to three trips to the site a week along with monthly inspections of the utility easements. Service type vehicles are smaller trucks and pickups - big vehicles are only needed in the event of an emergency or necessary major repair. If there was a gas leak, there would be little or no chance of an explosion since gas is lighter than air and it would naturally dissipate. The oundsview pipeline fire a couple of years ago was a gasoline fire. CABLE TV/NORTH CENTRAL: One aspect of the development is its relationship to the Cable TV/North Central facility located along the western property line. The cable facility includes the systems head end which receives on air and satellite signals and transmits them through the cable system, the local access production facility, and office space. The developer has expressed a desire to relocate this facility to better take advantage of the vistas afforded by the Bluff site. Cable TV/North Central has indicated that they would be willing to discuss such a relocation if they were provided with comparable facilities elsewhere on the property and their site lines to the metropolitan transmitter locations and satellites were assured. City staff coordinated a meeting between the developer and Cable TV/North Central representatives to begin discussions of this matter. If the interests of the City and the Cable Company can be met by a comparable facility located elsewhere on the property, this issue does not appear to prohibit this development. PROJECT TE : Pfister Architects of Minneapolis are the project designers. They were the architects for the Thomas Lake Pointe Apartments along Thomas Lake Road. They also did the design work for the residences at Edinburgh in Brooklyn Park, the Bristol apartments in Bloomington, and the exterior of the Timberwolves arena presently under construction in Minneapolis. The developer, E.J. Plesko and Associates/Koldt Properties of St. Louis Park, have developed major projects throughout the country and locally have completed the 227-unit Radisson/Ridgedale Hotel in Minnetonka, Market Plaza retail center and tower in Richfield consisting of a 166-unit highrise located at West 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue, and Parkshore Place, a 13-story 207-unit senior care center near Byerly's off Highway 100 in St. Louis Park. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: Although no grading, drainage and erosion control plan was submitted at this time with this application, the development in concept proposes three areas which may potentially store storm water runoff. The existing drainage over the proposed development is generally northeasterly toward Cedar Avenue. The City's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan shows this area tributary to Pond AP-6. Pond AP-6 is located north of the E- Z Mini Storage facility and southerly of the Cedar Avenue/T.H. 13 interchange. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient depth and capacity to provide service to the proposed development is readily available along the westerly side of the property. No sanitary sewer trunk improvements are required as a result of the proposed development. A 12" trunk water main service has been provided to the proposed development in two locations. With the construction of the Cedar Avenue Freeway, a 12" trunk water main was stubbed to the property in the area of its northeasterly corner. A 12" trunk water main also exists along the westerly and northwesterly boundaries of the property beginning at Diffley Road and extending northerly and northeasterly. The City's Water Supply & Distribution Plan identifies the need for the connection of the existing 12" trunk water main stubbed to the easterly property line during the construction of the Cedar Avenue Freeway and connecting this 12" stub to the existing 12" line at the corner of Diffley Road and Old Highway 13. This 12" trunk water main connection connects the City's intermediate pressure zone with the low pressure zone. The connection of the two different pressure zones will require the installation of a pressure reducing station. The installation of the pressure reducing station is a responsibility of the City's Water Supply Trunk Fund as is the oversizing of the 12" trunk water main required through this site. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Street widths, easement requirement, and right-of-way widths will be addressed in detail as a part of the final platting of the proposed development. DIFFLEY/CEDAR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS: 1. A Planned Development Agreement shall be entered into for a five year period. 2. A phasing plan shall be submitted with the Preliminary Plat of the 1st Addition. 3. An overall landscape plan shall be prepared. 4. An overall sign agreement shall be entered into. 5. All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be screened. 6. An overall design theme shall be carried out in the residential area. 7. All commercial areas shall be constructed with the same materials with all sides of the buildings being constructed of the same material. 8. All trash/recycling areas shall be contained within the buildings. 9. All applicable environmental permits shall be obtained. MINI ~ ~1t_~Itll~E Advisory Planning Commission November 17th, 1989 City of Eagan Eagan, Mn. 55122 Dear Members: This letter is written with reference to the proposed development by Koldt Properties for the Diffley/Cedar Planned De' e oprnent located at Diffley Road and Cedar Avenue. Please be advised that we do not object to the proposed use for this property or the idea of developing this land. However, we are extremely concerned about the ultimate destination of the storm water run-off that would be generated by this project. You may or may not be aware of the severe flooding that occurred at our project during the rain storm of July 24th, 1987. During and immediately after that storm we experienced flooding two feet deep over nearly the entire project area (some 6 to 8 acres). We suffered substantial losses as a result. In the storage business, we have no tolerence for flooding at any level. We have since begun a program of continually monitoring the water flows and levels for our future protection. We relate this story to you so that you are aware of the delicate situation that exists downstream from the proposed development. At this time we have not seen any proposed drainage plans for this development or the path the drainage will take once it leaves the site. Regardless, we look to the City of Eagan for protection against the potential for increased run-off caused by future development in this area.

The comments listed, perhaps reflect staff bias. Rentals and reservations for sand volleyball courts in the six cominunities are consistent where picnic parks are concerned; the court is included with the rese.~ation. At athletic sites, when not being used for leagues, a frequent procedure is, on a first come first served basis, issue a volleyball in exchange of holding a driver's license. Roseville alone has developed an elaborate reservation and fee system. Facility Design and Construction: Sand volleyball courts are relatively simplistic in both design and construction. Facilities are laid out in a north/south orientation. The in-bounds court is 29' - 6" wide by 59' - 0" long. At mid-court a 29' - 6" long net extends from sideline to sideline at several different heights dependent upon the user group. Out-of-bound lines extend around the 29' 6" by 59' 0" parameter and across the center line. (See Figure #1) The out-of- bounds area typically extends 15' - 30' beyond the service line, and 10' - 15' beyond the side lines. Surface types range from turf, bituminous, concrete, wood (interior) and sand. A sand type volleyball court typically has a 12" minimum depth of FA-1 washed and screened sand. The sand is contained with parameter timbers or concrete curbii . . The court and timbers are set at the same grade as the adjacent parkland u) safe)}, accommodate play which on occasions extends beyond the facility parameter. In consideration for this at-grade condition the sand bed is placed below surface drainage and therefore needs either french drains or drain tile to take storm water away from the facility. Ideally, a sand volleyball court should be located in watersheds where minimal volumes of storm water are directed to the facility. Facility Costs: Staff has evaluated facility costs for single, double and quad sand volleyball court facilities. As well, a comparison was made,: between construction by contractual and city forces. `l'he cost totals are as follows: COST COST CONTR,=CTf1AL CITY DESCRIPTION FO11tCE!_!)1 FORCE'S Single Volleyball Court 3,0715.00 1,691.00 (See Figure #2) Double Volleyball Court 5,334.00 2,836.00 (See Figure #3) Quad Volleyball Court 9,696.00 4,977.00 (See Figure #4)
