RE: CONKISSION PI - JANUARY 5, 1989
The regular meeting agenda will preceded by a brief awards p
of thanks to the Park Rangers/Police Explorers. Their efforts t 1s st
year, the recent discovery apprehension of individuals tryLiq to
dismantle the aluminum bleachers at Goat Hill Park, are appreciated by
staff.
Unfortunately, this will the last meeting for Bob Porter. Bob has
chosen not to seek re-appointment to the Commission. Bob was first
appointed January, 1986, for a three year term. We thank him for his
time, energy and contributions to the Eagan k System the Community.
PROPOSAIS
.DEVEIDPNENT There are two development proposals; separate reports are included for
commission review. The first proposal, Coventry Pass, is now being revised
by the developer from t is shown in the report. This department I s
analysis of the proposed park in this plat was given to the Planning
Commission for their Decenber 22nd meeting. The Planning Commission
deferred action for sixty (60) days, pending review by the Parks &
Recreation Commission. The City has now notified that Northland
Mortgage will also involved the plat and there will changes made
in the proposal. The Commission should still review this plat for
consideration and direction on the location of the proposed park.
Town Center 100 - 7th Addition, should reviewed for trails dedication.
Town Center 100 previously fulfilled its dedication, as part of
the PUD agreement.
OTD BUSINESS
Parks Superintendent, John VonDeLinde, has prepared an update on the water
quality report. John will provide a brief verbal overview at the meeting.
The Co mission has requested the development of a "philosophy statement" on
the Community Center. Please review the enclosed draft. You may wish to
prepare revisions for presentation to the entire C ission.
NEW BUSINESS
At present, a City well is being drilled k for the south
well field. At staff's request, the design of the well house structure has
been modeled after the other park shelters, Rahn Park particular,
material and design. Staff would like to review with the Commission the
building plans for comment and recommendation. A neighborhood meeting is
also scheduled for January loth.
OC14MUNIW CENTER UPDATE
Staff will update the commission on the Community Center, which is now
chiefly "informational campaign" to the Community.
However, staff is working with O.S.M., Consulting Engineers, preparing a
preliminary engineering report on the site work; this will completed by
the end of January.
A review of Consultant Management Services, regarding a construction
manager, is now being studied. If the referendum is successful, this work
will have been completed, allowing progress on the Community Center, 2nd
phase, to move along without untimely delay.
ar= BUSINESS AND 1aTQWS
There are several brief items that staff would like to bring the commission
up-to-date on, including the Departuent's Happenings, Pilot Knob Park
lights, new hirings, just to mention a few.
The end of the year has usually meant a "year report" or over-view of
the department's achievements, as well as areas of growing concern that
require Commission and Staff attention. However, the department's work
load, activities, Community Center, etc., have taken a higher priority and
been extremely time consumptive. Consequently, there hasn't been time to
prepare a report for this year.
See you on January 5th.
Happy le, Y !

MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF
THE ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
EAGAN, MINNESOTA
U R~' 5, 1989
A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission was
called to order at 7:00 P.M. on Thursday, December 1, 1988 with the
following Commission Members present: Dick Carroll, Ted Billy, Sandy
Masin, JoAnne Alt, Wayne Sames, Michele Swanson, Bob Porter and George
Kubik. Staff present included Director of Parks and Recreation, Ken Vraa;
Landscape Architect/Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan; Parks Superintendent,
John VonDeLinde; Recreation Supervisor, Dorothy Peterson; Parks Secretary,
Cherryl Mesko; Recreation Intern, Beth Mundy; Parks Intern, Mel Bailey.
AGENDA
Michele Swanson requested that School District 196 Liaison report be
added under New Business. Also requested for addition to the agenda was
update of MnDot turnback and the Santa Calling program. JoAnne Alt moved,
Michele Swanson seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the
agenda as amended.
MINUTES FROM NOVEMBER 3,1988 MLLTING
JoAnne Alt moved, Dick Carroll seconded with all members voting in
favor to accept the minutes as presented.
CONSENT AGENDA
The following consent agenda item was presented for approval. On a
motion by George Kubik, seconded by Bob Porter with all members voting in
favor, the Commission approved recommendation to the City Council of the
following:
1. EPISCOPAL CHURCH ADDITION - SAINTS MARTHA AND MARY - That this
proposal be subject to an 8 foot bituminous trail along Lexington
Avenue and Diffley Road. That this proposal be subject to a cash
parkland dedication with any change in land use other than a
church facility.
PARK CENTER ADDITION - FEDERAL LAND COMPANY
Steve Sullivan reviewed this parcel which is located south of the
undeveloped portion of Rahn Park at the intersection of Cliff Road and
Cliff Lake Road. Mr. Sullivan reminded the Commission that they had
reviewed this proposal in April of 1988 and at that time had expressed some
concerns for the loss of oak trees adjacent to Rahn Park as well as the
compatibility of R3 zoning versus commercial as has been planned for this
Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission
Minutes of December 1, 1988 Meeting
Page 2
parcel. The current proposal under review by the Commission was brought
before the Advisory Planning Commission at the November meeting and was
denied due primarily to the omission of an elderly housing site on this
parcel as well as the traffic impact of the plan as presented. Mr.
Sullivan stated that there are six issues that the Commission needs to
review which include:
1. Is the proposed land use change from R3 to Commercial PD
compatible with Rahn Park?
2. Does the proposal make every effort to preserve the existing
significant vegetation?
3. Does the proposal provide adequate screening to provide a
reasonable buffer to Rahn Park?
4. What are the pedestrian transportation needs?
5. What impact does the additional run-off have on Rahn Park?
6. What is the parkland dedication requirement?
Sandy Masin asked if the Commission could request that trees be
preserved along the northern side of the project to buffer Rahn Park from
whatever the development was on this parcel. Steve Sullivan responded that
if the large trees could be preserved,this would provide a good buffer for
the park. Jim Sturm of the Planning Department has requested the developer
to do a tree survey so the City has a better idea of what impact
development will have on the existing vegetation. Dick Carroll noted that
the site plan on page 44 of the packet showed that the addition of a
parking lot in the northern area of the development would eliminate most,
if not all the trees that exist.
Dick Carroll questioned the status of Dakota County HRA's proposal for
considering a senior housing project on this parcel. Mr. Sullivan noted
that the County is taking appraisals of property for a senior housing
facility and has met with the City of Eagan. Federal Land has given Dakota
County a price for purchasing a portion of this parcel so it is being
considered at this time. Federal Land is proceeding with this current
plan, however. Wayne Sames noted that in an early concept plan this parcel
showed senior housing as part of the plan.
Bob Porter asked if a land dedication could be requested if this
parcel remains as R-3 zoning to which Mr.Vraa responded affirmatively. Mr
Porter then noted that in requesting a land dedication the City could then
establish it's own buffer for the park. Dick Carroll commented that it
should be the responsibility of the developer to provide for this type of
buffer to a park area.
Sandy Masin asked if the water run-off could be filtered before
entering the park. Mr. Sullivan stated that that was the intention of
Pond AP-50 which will provides for water entering this retention pond
before entering the park pond. JoAnne Alt noted that this plan was by far
the worst presented for this parcel to date. She felt elderly housing
would be a much more compatible use of this parcel.
5.
Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission
Minutes of December 1, 1988 Meeting

George Kubik expressed concern for the water quality due to the amount
of oil that will be running off from the parking lot area. Steve Sullivan
noted that in talking to the engineering department they would like to see
a filter eliminate this type of runoff however they have not seen one to
date. Further concern regarding the parking lot was the lack of green
islands to break up the parking lot. Mr. Carroll also noted that because
of the steep embankment on the north side of the parking lot it would be
very difficult to berm this area to eliminate views directly to the loading
docks from the park if the parking lot is developed to its full potential
which is shown as a possibility. Mr. Sames noted that this plan was not
compatible with the project across Rahn Cliff Road.
After further discussion JoAnne Alt moved that the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission recommend to the Advisory Planning Commission that
the Comprehensive Guide Plan not be amended because of the impact on Rahn
Park. The motion further stated that the following recommendations be made
before approval
1. The developer provide staff with a tree inventory and revise the
grading/layout plan to preserve additional significant vegetation
2. The developer resubmit a landscape plan which increases the
density and size of plant material adjacent to Rahn Park
providing the required screening/buffering according to the
Landscape Policy.
3. A 5 foot wide sidewalk be placed along Cliff Road and the
existing sidewalk adjacent to old Rahn Road be extended to the
proposed 8 foot trail along Cliff Lake Road.
4. That a catch basin be placed for run-off before entering Rahn
Park.
5. That this parcel be subject to a cash parkland dedication
Sandy Masin added that relative to the run-off issue, the details of this
issue should be worked out between the engineering department and staff to
insure the least amount of impact on Rahn Park. Dick Carroll seconded the
motion and all members voted in favor.
HUD
Director Vraa stated that Mr. Mike Doeherty is in contact with HUD and
working on the particulars for the agreement to purchase the 65 acre site.
At this point HUD is not certain if all the property will be included
because of some unresolved title issues. Part of the agreement would
provide that any judgments against the bank would go back to HUD and the
City of Eagan would not be involved in any way with them. At this time the
attorneys are waiting for the Washington office of HUD to sign off on the
agreement. We are hopeful a closing can occur yet this month. A redesign
of the site was at the meeting for Commission members to review if they
chose.

MURPHY PROPERTY
Director Vraa explained that the City will get title to MnDot property
adjacent to the Murphy property near Blackhawk Park to help with the
negotiation of an access road into the park. The surveying crew will be
establishing the legal description of the parcel so that the negotiations
with Mr. Murphy can begin soon.
PROGRAM EVALUATIONS - BETH Y
Beth Mundy, interning in the Recreation Department for the past 12
weeks addressed the Commission and introduced the project she had been
assigned by the department relating to evaluating programs provided by the
City of Eagan. The activity that Beth planned and supervised as part of
her assignment from the University of Minnesota was the annual Halloween
Spook Trail. This was a very positive and educational experience for her.
Beth began by stating that 51 letters had been sent to various Parks
and Recreation Departments requesting information on their evaluation
procedures. Of the letters sent out, 27 responses were received and 3
stated they had no formal evaluations at this point.
Beth's research found that 67% of the evaluations received were
specific in nature. The general evaluations reviewed were too generic in
their content and would probably not be beneficial to programs currently
operating in the Parks and Recreation Department.
In reviewing the specific evaluations, Beth concluded that the
ultimate evaluation should be completed by the participant. In the case of
children's programs, this evaluation would need to be done by the parent
provided they had an opportunity to observe the class in action. One day
events, however, being difficult to evaluate, should be handled by an after
action report. Beth noted that it would have been helpful to have after
action reports for each special event to enable the subsequent program to
operate in an efficient and informed manner.
Chairman Carroll thanked Beth for her in-depth report and noted that
this process for evaluating programs would be invaluable to the department.
Wayne Sames suggested that a suggestion box be installed at the shelter
buildings for people to respond to the drop-in kinds of use the buildings
provide.
PARKS DEVELOPMENT
Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan updated the Commission on pending parks
development and parks projects. Thomas Lake pavilion is almost completed
with site restoration to occur in the spring. Ohmann Park was not seeded
this year, however the irrigation system was installed and the trenches
compacted, Slater Acres Park's seeding was completed, the bituminous Rahn
Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission
Minutes of December 1,1988 Meeting

Road Trail was completed with the rejected 60 feet of trail to be
completed in spring. Pilot Knob hockey light poles are up and the lights
will be on soon. Heine Pond park has been graded, seeded, and the trail
bed is down. The sand blanket and bituminous work will be done in ';hr
spring. Mooney Lake has been cleaned up but the bituminous trail is not
down as yet and the Well Site skating oval is nearing completion.
COMMUNITY CENTER UPDATE
Director Vraa stated that work is progressing very well on the
Community Center to date. Most of the Commission members were present at
the joint meeting and were given the latest details outlining the costs and
changes. A proposed philosophy statement was provided for the Commission
members for their review and recommendations. Mr.Kubik suggested that the
members take the statement with them, review it and get back together later
to review and revise as necessary. Mr. Kubik also complimented staff for
the excellent presentation they gave at the joint Council/Commission
meeting .
UNISYS TRAIL MEETING
Steve Sullivan stated that a meeting was held for the neighbors north
of the Unisys property to review the proposed trail linking Pilot Knob Park
and Quarry Park. The meeting was attended by 5 people. At this meeting it
was apparent that the residents are unclear of what the impact would be to
their properties. Some felt it would be beneficial whereas some felt this
was a negative. It appears that once the 15 foot offset is staked the
neighbors will be able to see what the actual impact of the trail would be
to their property. A second meeting will occur once the staking has been
completed so the placement of the trail is easier to visualize.
George Kubik noted that there was indeed some confusion on this issue
and once the staking is completed the residents can better assess the
situation.
WINTER PROGRAM UPDATE
Recreation Supervisor Dorothy Peterson updated the Commission on the
activities for the winter programs. Currently staff is preparing for the
winter skating/sliding season with many of the seasonal staff returning
from last year. An advertisement was run four times but the best response
to date has been word of mouth for new seasonal workers.
Flyers are being prepared for each shelter showing the scheduled
hours, rules, etc. A meeting has occurred with Eagan Hockey Association
which will have 20 teams participating this year compared with 12 from last
year. Dorothy also indicated that the space at Goat Hill is being planned
more for pleasure skaters and neighborhood hockey games.

DANIEL DRIVE TRAIL
Steve Sullivan explained that residents adjacent to a trail planned on
Daniel Drive are wanting to have the location of the trail changed from the
west side to the east side. As background, Steve noted that the idea for
the trail is for a transportation network between Diffley and Lexington to
provide access to Schwanz Lake. People north of Trapp Farm Park would be
able to go south to Trapp Farm Park on this trail. On the west side of
Daniel Trail the development provides for 2 side yards, 10-11 front yards,
3 street crossings. On the east side the development provides for 7 side
yards, 5 backyards and 4 street crossings. It is unknown what the impact
is for property on the north side of Daniel Drive, west of the 7, 5, 4
configuration.
The residents are requesting that the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission make a recommendation to change the development contract so that
the trail can be moved from the west side of Daniel Trail to the east side
of Daniel Trail.
Sandy Masin asked if the reason for the change of location was for
safety. Steve responded that residents are concerned about backing out
onto the trail. Wayne Sames noted that if there was going to be a
neighborhood meeting on this issue that residents on both the west and east
side should be included not only the residents petitioning for the change.
Director Vraa noted that there are 10 homesites on the west site with
7 homes already built. The Parks Department position is that the agreement
that exists is between the owners of that property and the developer and
should be settled between them without bringing the City back into the
process. Steve Sullivan stated that the first call came when the trail was
being installed; that the residents felt the bituminous trail wasn't
compatible with their homes and would prefer a sidewalk. Bob Porter stated
that the homeowners should be negotiating with Tri-Land to do a sidewalk
versus a trail. Member Billy stated that this is a regrettable situation
but felt the City should not be caught up in the middle of a negotiation
that should take place between homeowners and developer.
Member Kubik stated that the Commission makes a good faith effort to
keep the public informed about the total trail system and felt that the
trail should be built as planned. Dick Carroll noted that the developer
had ample opportunity to request a change before this time and felt this
was a little late in the game to be making changes in the development
contract. He also stated he had no preference for this being a trail or a
sidewalk.
Bob Porter asked if there were any other sidewalks in this area to
which Steve Sullivan responded affirmatively. The sidewalk seemed to be
more compatible with the surrounding area.

After further discussion Bob Porter moved, Wayne Sames seconded with
all members voting in favor to recommend that the contract be completed per
the development agreement with the only option of choice being that of a
sidewalk or a bituminous trail for the reasons discussed above.
HAPPENINGS
Ken Vraa noted that the Santa Calling program is scheduled for
December 13, 14 and 15 and the department is still looking for volunteers.
He passed out a sampling of letters received to date from the parents.
Mr. Vraa also noted that staff has been working for some time on the
development of brochures that will be used for marketing purposes and to
date the brochure cover has been completed and was shared with Commission
members. The brochures themselves are still being worked on.
The first 6-month calendar has been delivered for distribution to
homes in Eagan. This year apartments will be covered for the first time.
SCHOOL DISTRICT 196 LIAISON
Michele Swanson brought the Commission up to date on the meetings she
has attended as liaison to School District 196. They are in the process
of goal setting with youth development set as the number one priority. The
existing and expanding latch key program would result in the school
district asking other groups that generally use the schools' facilities
after hours to no longer use them due to lack of space.
With no further business to conduct, Sandy Masin moved, JoAnne Alt
seconded with all members voting in favor to adjourn the meeting. The
meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M.

DATE: DECEMBER 30, 1988
RE: COVENTRY PASS ADDITION
PROPOSAL
Applications have been submitted requesting the rezoning from Agriculture
to R-1 single family and the preliminary plat of 227 lots on 122 acres.
BACKGROUND
The parcel is located east of Dodd Road approximately one-half mile north
of County Road 30. The adjacent land uses are as follows:
North - Central Fence Company - Light Industrial Zoning
South - Country Hollow Subdivision - R-1 Zoning
Clarkson Place Addition - Limited Business Zoning
East - Inver Grove Heights (undeveloped) Light Industrial Zoning
West - Hills of Stonebridge R-1 Zoning

The site is within Park Service District 24
which currently has no neighborhood park. Both the Comprehensive Land use Plan and
Parks System Plan designate a neighborhood
park within the subject parcel. The Coventry
Pass Addition proposes parkland dedication ' 4R'K s~ y CC
within the southeast corner of the proposal. >
The proposal was brought before the Advisory
Planning Commission at the December 22
meeting. The Advisory Planning Commission
recommended that the Coventry Pass Addition
proposal be tabled until the Advisory Parks
and Recreation Commission had the opportunity
to review and comment on the parkland
k
dedication. On Wednesday, December 28 Staff was informed of a significant change
On Wednesday, December 28 Staff was informed of a significant change
regarding the proposal and engineering/planning firm representing the
Coventry Pass application. Wayne Tower from Pioneer Engineering
approached the City representing the new land planning firm. He explained
that the subdivision was to be redesigned. In a brief meeting, park and
city planning staff reviewed with Wayne our concerns for the Coventry Pass
proposal. Pioneer Engineering will be resubmitting a subdivision plan
including the revised parkland dedication on January 3, 1989. The
Commission will have the opportunity to review the revision at the January
5 meeting. This review is primarily informational due to staff having
inadequate time to complete a comprehensive evaluation. Therefore, this
staff report primarily analyzes; Park Service #24, it's parks needs and
alternative locations for the neighborhood park.
ISSUES
Staff has identified several issues for Advisory Commission review and
recommendation:
1. What are the parkland needs for Park Service area #24?
2. What are the parkland site alternatives for Park Service
District #24?
3. What is the park's dedication requirement?
ISSUE #1
What are the parkland needs for Park Service Area #24?
Eagan's Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies a park west of the northern
pond adjacent to Dodd Road. Dale Runkle, Director of Community
Development, performed the initial analysis and recommended the parkland
location. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designation for the park use was
based on the following criteria:
1. The parcel is within 1/2 mile to all users within the service
area.
2. Adequate acreage is available for a neighborhood park.
3. The parcel provide topography which is developmentally
compatible for a neighborhood park.
4. The proximity to Dodd Road and the proposed trails provides
effective pedestrian and vehicular transportation to the park.
5. The parkland is adjacent to mature trees and a significant pond.

Staff estimates that Park Service #24 at buildout will have a population of
1340. This population is based on 405 lots with 3.3 people per household.
The Comprehensive Parks System Plan designates population criteria for park
type as follows:
1. Mini-Park - Serves a small service area, usually less than a
quarter mile radius, population served is at least
500 residents.
2. Neighborhood
Park - Optimal service area is within 1/2 mile radius.
2000 - 5000 residents served.
This population equates similarly to service areas 31W/25W which contain
Slater Acres Park and Lakeside/ South Oaks Park. Therefore, staff
recommends a facility program consistent with park standards reflective of
these existing parks. The facility program may include:
1. Playground, 5500 square feet
2. Hardcourt Play Area, 1600 square feet
3. Informal Play Area, 62,500 square feet
4. Softball Field, 250' radius
5. Trails
6. Passive/Picnic Area
7. Parking Lot, 10 stalls (optional).
The usable acreage of Slater Acres Park is approximately 6.2 acres with
Lakeside/South Oaks at 7.5 acres. Staff estimates that the usable acreage
for parkland within Service District #24 should range from 5-7 acres.
A park within Neighborhood Park Service Area #24 is supported by several
adjacent neighboring parks. This includes Bridle Ridge Park located
approximately 1/2 mile west of the subject parcel. Bridle Ridge will
provide user support with it's hockey rink and free skating facilities.
Lakeside Park is located 3/4 mile south. Lastly School District #196 has
acquired an elementary school site approximately 1/2 to 3/4 mile from
Neighborhood Park Service Area #24. The elementary school will have the
typical recreational facilities, i.e. playground, ballfields, hard courts,
soccer fields.
ISSUE #2
What are the parkland sites alternatives for Park Service District #24?
Staff has performed a comprehensive evaluation of the subject parcel
determining feasible parkland locations. The primary criteria for
selection is based on the following:
1. Conformance to the Comprehensive Park System Plan standards.
2. Meeting the proposed facility program.
3. Compatible facility integration to the site.
4. Developmental efficiency.
5. Relationship to the neighborhood service area.
6. Relationship to park supportive natural resources.
7. Adaptability to subdivision design ;f
Three possible park locations have
been identified. The first,
identified as parkland alternative
A, is located west of the large
ponding area JP-23. The second,
identified as alternative B, is
located north of JP-23. The third,
identified as parkland alternative ~
C, is located both north and south
all southerly pond JP-24.Of
of the smA
PARCEL :max
Parkland alternative A located west of JP-23 can be characterized by
moderate to flat slopes adjacent to Dodd Road with steep slopes adjacent to
the easterly pond. Significant deciduous overstory vegetation exists on
the steep slopes with the remainder of the parcel in long grasses. The
site drains from the westerly plateau east towards the pond. The pond is
approximately 6 acres in size with a normal water level of 852.3 and a high
water level of 857.3. The pond remains in open water throughout the year.
(See Attachment #1)
The parkland size is approximately 10 acres. Approximately 6.8 acres
contain slopes less than 12% and above the pond's high water elevation.
The parcel is located within 1/2 mile of all residents within the park
service area. In regard to the parks centrality to the park service area
staff estimates that approximately 25% of the user population exists north
of the park and 75% to the south. The alternative provides 500 feet of
street frontage along Dodd Road and approximately 75 feet of frontage along
two cul-de-sacs located north and south of the parcel.
The facility program meets the Parks Systems standards for a typical
neighborhood park. The facility program includes the following:
1. Parking lot - 10 stalls
2. Ballfield - 250 feet radius
3. Soccer field - 200 x 300 feet, overlay
4. Hard court play area - 50 feet x 85 feet
5. Playground
6. Picnic area
7. Trails
8. Pond access
This park alternative offers limited but compatible facility integration.
The developable slopes configuration allows a ballfield/soccer field
overlay only within the northern portion of the parkland parcel. The
parking lot takes access from Dodd Road. Minimal internal road frontage is
available for vehicular access. The residual portion of developable slopes
is utilized for the playground and hard court play area. A narrow finger
of moderate slopes extends to the pond and the adjacent woods. This area
provides an accessible pedestrian access to the ponds shoreline and
supports a small scenic picnic area. A distance of 550 feet between the
pond and Dodd Road does not allow for an internal north/south residential
road link adjacent to the park. Also, the existing intersections of
Stonebridge Drive and Elrene Road dictate access locations into the
development. These given accesses along with the park's narrow width do
not allow internal road frontage except off a northern and southern cul-de-
sac. Therefore, internal pedestrian access would occur via two 1/3 acre
parkland extensions from the cul-de-sacs to the primary park area. The
positive aspects to this design is the separation of the vehicular and
pedestrian access to the park. The negative aspect is the park has a
secondary visual orientation within the park service area, with primary
visual orientation from Dodd Road. The park is not self marketing to the
park service area and is influenced by the visual aspect and noise
generated by Dodd Road. The Comprehensive Park System Plan identifies a
boulevard trail along Dodd Road. This trail can also be used for
pedestrian access to parkland alternative A.
The topography has the greatest impact on development cost and
efficiencies. Without completing a comprehensive cost estimate staff
speculates that development costs for grading will be moderate to high due
to increased common excavation quantities. The ballfield/soccer field will
generate the most significant grading costs with cuts and fills of
approximately 10 feet - 12 feet. All other facilities should have costs
equivalent to our current development values.
Staff has identified two park supportive natural resources. The first is
the pond. The pond provides a strong visual benefit to the park.
Functionally the pond offers minimal opportunity for canoeing, fishing or
other water related recreational opportunities. The storm ponding aspects
do not provide for ice skating. A looped trail around the pond is feasible
but the steep slopes would result in high development costs. Staff would
recommend that trail easement be placed around pond JP-23 to allow for
future trailway considerations. The second item is the significant trees
along the steep slopes. These trees provide a visual maturity to the park
setting and enhance the picnic/passive opportunities for the user. Staff
recommends that the developer provide conservation easements in areas of
significant vegetation.
Park Alternative A allows for complimentary lot subdivision. The park
separates the northern and southern neighborhood resulting in two cul-de-
sacs and the omission of a through road.
PARCEL B
Parkland Alternative B located north of JP-23 can also be characterized by
moderate to flat slopes within its northern portion with steep slopes
adjacent to Pond JP-23. Significant deciduous overstory vegetation exists
on the steep slopes with the remaining portion of the parcel in harvest
crops. (See Attachment #2)
The parkland alternative is approximately 10.2 acres. Approximately 6.8
acres contain slopes less than 12% and above the pond's high water level.
The parcel is located within 3/4 mile of all residents within the park
service area. In regards to the park centrality within the park service
area staff estimates approximately 18% of the user population exists north
of the park and 82% to the south. The alternative provides 1500 lineal
feet of frontage along three internal streets.
The facility program meets the Parks System standards for a typical
neighborhood park. The facility program is identical to Parkland Alternate
A. The facility program includes the following:
1. Parking Lot 10 stalls
2. Ballfield 250 foot radius
3. Soccer field 200 feet x 300 feet overlay
4. Hard court play area - 50 feet x 85 feet
5. Playground
6. Picnic area
7. Trails
8. Pond access
The park alternative provides a strong facility layout with orderly
transition to complimentary facilities. Similarly to Parkland Alternative
A the developable slopes configuration provide for a ballfield/soccer
overlay within the eastern portion of the parkland parcel. The parking lot
takes access from the northern east/west road. The residual portion of
development supports the playground and hard court play area. Moderate
slopes extend to the pond centrally within the park. This area provides a
scenic access to the pond and westerly picnic area. Staff feels that the
picnic area in Alternate Parkland B is of higher quality than Alternative
A. The picnic areas developmental area is larger and is more adaptable for
picnic/passive use. Pedestrian access would primarily occur from internal
residential roads. A future trail along Dodd Road would effectively
service users with the southwestern portion of Neighborhood Park Service
Area 24. The park has significant off-site visual orientation due to the
large amount of street frontage. The park may be over exposed.
The topography has the greatest impact on development cost and
efficiencies. Without completing a comprehensive cost estimate staff
speculates that development costs for grading will be moderate to high due
to increased common excavation quantities. The ballfield/soccer field will
generate the most significant grading costs with cuts and fills of
approximately 10 feet to 12 feet. All other facilities should have costs
equivalent to our current development values.
Identical to Park Alternative A staff has identified two park supportive
natural resources within Parcel B. The first is the pond. The pond
provides a strong visual benefit to the park. Again, a looped trail around
the pond is feasible but the steep slopes would result in high development
costs. Staff would recommend that a trail easement be placed around pond
JP-23 to allow for future trailway considerations. The second item is the
significant trees along the steep slopes. These trees provide a visual
maturity to the park setting and enhance the picnic/passive opportunities
for the park user. Staff would recommend that the developer provide
conservation easements in areas of significant vegetation.
The park layout appears to allow for complimentary lot subdivision. An
apparent problem may be the significant lineal road footage along the park.
The design provides roadway with no developmental cost support by
residential lots. The road frontage is significantly higher than the 250
feet minimum suggested by the Commission when reviewing the Bur Oaks
proposal. As a frame of reference,1500 lineal feet of road frontage
equates to the frontage of Walnut Hill Park.
PARCEL C
Parkland Alternative C is located in the southeast corner of the subject
parcel adjacent to pond JP-24. The parkland parcel is characterized by
moderate and steep slopes south of the pond. North of the pond the
proposed park is steep slopes. A majority of the parcel is in meadow
grass with significant deciduous overstory trees located adjacent to the
pond. The pond is approximately 4.7 acres with a normal water level of
843.3 and high water level of 849.0. The pond is extremely shallow and
may be seasonally dry. (See Attachment #3)
The parkland size is approximately 14.3 acres. Approximately 5.1 acres
contains slopes less than 12% and above JP-23's high water level. The
parcel is located within 1/2 mile of all residents within the park service
area. In regards to the parks centrality to the park service area staff
estimates that approximately 53% of the population lies north of the par;.
and 47% to the south. This alternative provides 500 feet of street
frontage along an internal residential road.
The facility program falls short of a neighborhood park but exceeds the
standards for a typical mini-park. The facility program is typical, except
the soccer field is omitted and a 150' x 200' open play area overlay is
substituted. This is a result of the park having less develr ital
acreage to the prior alternatives. The facility program include- the
following:
1. Parking lot - 10 stalls
2. Ballfield - 25 foot radius
3. Open play area
4. Hardcourt play area - 40 feet x 40 feet
5. Playground
6. Picnic area
7. Looped pond trail
This park alternative offers limited but compatible facility integration.
The limiting aspect is that only 4.4 acres is developable - the area which
is located on the south side of the pond. Within the 4.4 acres the
ballfield/open play field overlay extends into a small portion of the steep
slopes. The extension can be engineered to accommodate the ballfield.
Vehicular and pedestrian access is from an internal north/south
residential road. The playground and single hoop hard court play area
would lie east of the parking lot. The finish grade of the park would allow
for pond to be easily accessible. As well, a loop trail around the pond
could be easily developed. The pond has a scenic quality when in water.
The surrounding mature oaks provide an ambient canopy experience. A
majority of the pond is currently dry and miscellaneous litter pollutes its
potential beauty. Staff feels that if this site is to be considered for
parkland the developer should be responsible in deepening the pond
providing year round water cover and also removal of all debris.
Again, the topography has the greatest impact on development costs and
efficiencies. Without completing a comprehensive cost estimate staff
speculates that development costs for grading will be moderate to high due
to increased common excavation quantities. The ballfield/soccer field will
generate the most significant grading costs with cut and fills of
approximately 8 feet to 10 feet. All other facilities should have costs
equivalent to our current development values.
Similarly to Alternatives A and B staff has identified two park supportive
natural resources. First, an improved pond could provide a strong visual
benefit. Alternative A and B tends to utilize the northern pond as a
visual amenity and a destination point via a spur trail. In park
alternative C, the pond becomes visually and functionally connected to the
adjacent facilities. The pond becomes a hub to an easily assessable loop
trail system. Second, mature oaks and the south facing slope enhances the
trail and picnic area experience.
Parkland Alternative C versus A and B tends to provide the least impact for
residential subdivision. This alternative simply omits a short cul-de-sac
and 12 lots, Staff feels that the westerly north/south street should be
realigned to provide additional park area. The additional park area would
increase distances between facilities allowing areas for transition and
landscaping.
SUMMATION
The three identified alternatives could adequately service the parkland
needs for Neighborhood Service Area #24. Each alternative possesses many
positives with few negatives.
Park Alternative A provides the following:
Adequate developmental acreage to meet facility program for a
typical neighborhood park.
* Limited but compatible facility integration to site.
Mature trees
Pond Access
Moderate to high grading costs
Dodd Road frontage
Minimal internal road frontage
Separate pedestrian and vehicular access.
Park Alternative B provides the following:
Adequate developmental acreage to meet facility program for a
typical neighborhood park
Strong facility layout
Mature trees
Pond access
Moderate to high grading costs
1500 feet internal road frontage
Not central to service area
Park Alternative C provides the following:
Inadequate developmental acreage to meet facility program for a
typical neighborhood park
Exceed mini-park facility standards
Limited but compatible facility integration to site
Mature trees
Seasonally wet, potentially scenic ponding area
Littered site
Looped trail
Minimal impact for residential subdivision
ISSUE #3
What is the parkland dedication need?
The Comprehensive Land Use and also Park Systems Plan identifies a parkland
acquisition within neighborhood park service area #24. The current
proposal is requesting a preliminary plat of 227 lots on 122 acres. Based
on a total land dedication, park alternatives A & B would be responsible
for 9.76 acres of parkland. Park alternative C would be responsible for
12.2 acres.
The Commission may consider discussing whether any credit should be
extended towards any of the three parkland alternatives.
The Parkland Dedication Policy reads:
Land dedicated is to be located outside of drainways, flood plans or
ponding areas after the site has been developed. Grades exceeding 12%
or are unsuitable for parks development can be considered for partial
dedication. Where ponding has been determined to have a park
function, credit can be given at a rate of 50% of the pond and
adjoining land area below the high water level; a minimum of 70% of
land above the high water mark shall be dedicated before pond credit
is granted. Other City park dedication policies relating to pond
dedication must also be complied with.
Both Parkland Alternative A and B have approximately 6.8 acres above the
high water elevation and with slopes less the 12%. If no credit is given
for the pond/steep slopes, the developer would be responsible for
contributing a cash dedication balance of $29,140.23.
Parkland Alternative C has approximately 5.1 acres above the high water
elevation and with slopes less than 12%. If no credit is given for the
pond/steep slopes the developer would be responsible for contributing a
cash dedication balance of $58,932.91.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION
The Commission does not need to take action on the current proposal at the
January 5th meeting. The revised proposal will be brought before the
Commission at the February meeting. The Commission may give staff and the
applicant direction on:
(1) The parkland needs within Neighborhood Park Service Area #24
(2) The preferred park alternative
(3) Park dedication conditions

RE: TOM CENTER 100 - 7TH ADDITION
PROPOSAL
Federal Land Carpany has submitted a request for the prelim nary plc : of
two (2) lots and one (1) outlot on 19.5 acres currently zo~~ad T mitad
Business (LB).
cnvD
The parcel is located north of O' Leary Park and c Estates. The
property fronts Town Centre Drive with the proposed Waterford Apartments
lying to the east.
The Commission has previously reviewed this parcel at the time of the q:1,..
Heights Commercial Parks P.D. The park dedication requirement for the
parcel has been fulfilled as a requirement of the P.D. agreement. The
Commission has also reviewed the property in conjunction with the Waterford
Apartment proposal. The C ission may recall that a trails study was
performed to determine trails locations within the Eagan Heights Commercial
PD. The Cam-aission evaluated trail locations and priorities based on user
needs as generated by the differing land uses.
The Commission previously recommended that trails/sidewalks placed (See
Figure #1):
o the north side of Town Center Drive from Lexington
Road to Denmark Avenue.
o the west side of O'Leary lane from Yankee Doodle Road to Town
Centre Drive.
o the south side of Town Drive 'from Denmark to the
western of Waterford apartments.
a the west side of Waterford Apartments from Town Centre Drive
to O'Leary Park.
a the north side of O' Leary Take from Widgeon Way to the Spur
Trail on the west side of Waterford Apartments.
o the east side of Yankee Place from Yankee Place from
Doodle to Town e Drive.
ISSUES
Staff has identified the following issues for review:
1. What are the pedestrian transportation needs?
2. What is the visual in-pact to O'I Park?
3. What is the developmental inpact of water quality of O'Leary Lake?
ISSUE 1
The proposal will responsible for the placement of a 5' wide, sidewalk
along the south side of Town Centre Drive. The Commission may recall that
a trail link from this sidewalk north/south to OLeary Park is to occur
along the westerly of the Waterford Apartment property. This
proposed trail link lies directly east of the current proposal. The
Waterford Apartment proposal offers little space and steep topography in
which the trail to O'Leary Park could occur. Staff suggests that the trail
area designated within the Waterford development in combination with a 201
easement along the east property line of the current proposal would provide
greater flexibility for this pedestrian link. Waterford t & Town
Centre 100, 7th Addition, would responsible for compatible grading and
installation of a 5' wide sidewalk from Town Centre Drive towards O'Leary
Park.
well, both developments depict eight foot wide east/west trail so' utk-a
of their buildings. These trails should tie together and an bitum r.c)=cps
spur continue (at the sidewalk intersection) south to O'Leary Park. The
western of this east/west trail currently ties to existing 201 trail
easement tying to Widgeon Way. Staff suggests that this trail tie into the
easement approximately 140' west of it's current terminus. (See Figure #2)
ISSUE II
The current proposal is for a one story office building located
approximately 145' north of O'Leary Park and 110' of the lake. Tie
building finishes t the park will brick and glass, with a ro 'o1
roof band. The building will utilize these finishes on all sides. A
majority of the parking is screened from the park by the building. A
service drive to a below storage area is proposed on the south side
of the building. The storage area is intended for the building tenants and
unloading would typically occur internally. Staff feels that the single
story structure, finish palette and parking lot orientation minimizes tI-e
visual impact of this development. After review of the landscape pl, n
staff suggests that additional plant material used to provid='.a g,
transition between the office park land use.
ISSUE III
The storm water plan proposes having a majority of the run off either sheet
drain, or run into existing 12" line outletting into O'Leary Lake.
The Water Quality Management Plan classifies 'Leary lake as a 'rI
water (indirect n ) . O'Leary lake has also been identi----i~ -Ls
one of the five most important water bodies in the Eagan k System. The
City's Engineering t, along with the Dakota County Water
Conservation District, has recommended that a portion of the parking lot
run-off, which is proposed to outlet directly into O'Leary Lake,
redirected to a holding (DP-20) north of Town Centre Drive. Pond DP-
20 then outlets to O'Leary Lake. This pond will a the storm
water storage needs as a nutrient trap reduce the nu i l( >ad i t rr to
Leary lake. Staff concurs that the rerouting of storm v 0
minimizes the inpact to the water quality of 'Leary lake, Z -.iJ
our fifth ranked resource.
CSI I I
The Commission may consider the following recommendations:
1. A 20' wide trail easement placed along easterly pi 'j line.
2. The developer, conjunction with easterly property owner,
responsible in providing a 5' wide concrete sidewalk from Town
Centre Drive north/south to the proposed eight foot east/west
bituminous pathway.
3. The eight foot wide east/west trail proposed the rear yard
revised directly tied to the proposed trail within the
Waterford Apartment Proposal. Also, the westerly trail terminus
extend approximately 140' west to the southwest property corner.
4. The developer extends an eight foot bituminous trail to O'Leary Park
from the proposed eight foot east/west bituminous trail. This
north/south trail link field staked approved by the City's
landscape Architect prior to installation to insure compatible linkage
to O'Leary Park pedestrian system.
5. A five foot wide sidewalk placed along the south side of the Town
e Drive.
6. Additional plant material placed south of the building
southeast parking lot corner to provide additional
buffer/ transition to O'Leary Park.
7. The storm water plan revised to re-route parking lot stoic at to
pond DP-20.

MEMO TO: EAGAN ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: JOHN K. VO ELI DE, SUPERINTENDENT OF PARK~.I
DATE: DECEMBER 15, 1988
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT STUDY
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide you with a brief
outline of recent developments on the wetlands/lakes
classification program and water quality management plan.
The Citizens Task Force on water quality met on December 12th to
discuss a number of issues. The first issue dealt with
monitoring and in-basin sampling of priority lakes in the City.
Over the next two years the Soil and Water Conservation District
will be sampling 13 water bodies on a number of water quality
indices including such things as PH, total phosphorus, coliform
bacteria, suspended solids, oxygen, etc. The purpose of the
sampling is to create some baseline data from which to evaluate
the current conditions of these waterbodies in relation to the
prescribed management objectives.
It was decided that the collection of samples would be done
internally and would be a shared program between the Streets,
Utilities, and Parks and Recreation Departme ts. Tlisz, will
involve a small amount of staff time over the t' xrea_r-s in
physically collecting the samples from the 1.? s of
the samples will be done by a private laboratory select d t?:rough
a quotation or competitive bid procedure. The Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency has offered to keep track of this
information on their computers looking for such things as quality
trends, comparisons between lakes, etc.
Eagan will also be submitting an application to the Pollution
Control Agency requesting their participation in the -ling
program. At this point it seems likely that the PCA 1 be
willing to conduct intensive in-lake sampling on at lea t two
waterbodies. This would reduce the amount of lab analysis costs
to the City which are currently estimated at about $16,000.00.
The U.S. Geological Survey is also being contacted to determine
whether or not some of their ongoing sampling may already take
into consideration many of Eagan's priority lakes.
There was a discussion about the propcs~I. to utilize r-
representatives in the long range Secchi di . sampling of 1
located next to parks. This approach is strongly supported y
the Task Force and is seen as a way of bringing the public
closer to the planning and management aspects of the program. At
some point, likely in the spring, the department will be
advancing this notion to the park representatives for their
reaction and comment. If the response is favorable the Pollution
Control Agency and SWCD would work closely with these volunteers
EAGAN ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
DECEMBER 15, 1988

to train and assist them with the sampling program. The s -ling
is quite simple requiring only a small boat or canoe to _ cnto
the lake, and a Secchi disk sampling device available fi a the
PCA at a cost of about $10.00.
The Citizens Task Force then discussed the proposed adoption of a
new classification level referred to as "Scenic Recreation
Wetlands." SWCD staff outlined the proposed selection criteria
and management objectives for this new classification. After
some discussion the Task Force decided unanimously to adopt the
new classification and to set it at a Level "3" in the overall
hierarchy. "Wildlife ponds," formerly Level 3, w.JL now be
shifted to Level 4. Treatment basins will be rep' °_fied at
Levels 5, 6 and 7. A copy of the selection cr-aeria and
management objectives for Scenic Recreation Wetlands is attached
for your reference.
The Task Force also adopted the Commission's recommendations
classification changes for several waterbodies. Conri
members may recall that a recommendation was mAd tO ,rt
Schwanz Lake from a Level 2 to a Level 1, "D', Cont. t."
Recommendations were also made to downgrade Burrvi Tv Pond asa
Level 1 to Level 2 and to upgrade about 15 former Class "Stormwater Detention" ponds to the new Class 3, IIS:-.nic
Recreation Wetlands." These changes were adopted in full by the
Task Force and will be incorporated into the final draft
classification scheme.
With regard to the rankings of lakes and ponds for monitoring L_1
management the Task Force also recommended adoption of t
Commission's proposed list of priorities. From what was once a
list of just a few lakes and ponds, the monitoring program has
now grown to include 11 park related lakes out of a total
sampling field of 13. The following lakes and ponds will be
sampled over the next two years (Commission ranking is indicated
for reference) :
Lake Rank
Thomas Lake, BP 12 1
Blackhawk Lake, BP 11 2
Fish Lake, JP 4 3
Schwanz Lake, LP 32 4
O'Leary Pond, DP 7 5
McCarthy Lake, JP 9 6
Lemay Lake, DP 2 7

Langhoven Lake, Woodhaven
Park, AP 1 12
Mooney Pond, JP 7 17

The SWCD staff also outlined their proposal for the planning
process, from now until adoption of a final plan. A copy of the
major plan elements and discussion of components contained
therein is attached for your reference along with the time line.
As you can see, the final plan is expected to be adorted some
time in June. Prior to that, however, there will be -n
opportunity for review and input of the APRC of the ca- 1
This would likely occur in late February or March (foll -ing t:
community center bond referendum).
The APRC should also be made aware that the City Engineering
Department is initiating a complete redrafting of the city's
storm water management plan. This is being done partly in
recognition of the need to restrict bounce and flood duration ^n
many of the ponds and lakes classified for recreation Pu:°p s o.:,
where residential development may be affected. The of
the Storm Water Management Plan will be done concurrent wit]
planning and adoption of the Water Quality Plan since both nd a
interrelationships and are dependent on one another. In t'.-,a
interests of establishing maximum water elevations on lakes and
ponds within or adjacent to park areas, department staff have
already been working with the SWCD and Engineering Department in
establ°shing acceptable high water levels. The City's
engin ring consultant, Bonestro, Rosene, Anderlik and
Associ e , will then be using this information t'> design or
retro t he storm water system to achieve desired
objec ves, where they are economically feasible.

WILDLIFE POND CLASSIFICATION CHANGES
District personnel met with Mike Mueller of MN DNR and John
Von de Linde of the Parks Commission to discuss improving
the Type III Wildlife pond criteria and standards. This
meeting resulted in the following recommendation:
Instead of a two-tiered Wildlife class, have two
distinct classifications:
Type III Scenic Recreation Wetlands
Selections Criteria:
- Public access available.
- ,wetland characteristics and vegetation.
- Conducive to education/interpretive use.
Standard:
- Maintain OHWL and restrict bounce duration to
less than 10 days.
- Promote growth of wetland vegetation.
- For deeper ponds TSI (SD) summer average not
to exceed 80.
Type IV Wildlife Habitat
Selection Criteria:
- Pond bounce does not exceed two feet for a
one year storm.
- Mixture of open water and vegetation.
- Land use is conducive to wildlife.
Standard:
TSI (SD): Summer average not to exceed 80

priority waterbodies. Maintenance requirements
and a capital improvement program shall also be
outlined in this draft water quality management
plan. This task will be completed by March 13,
1989 and include 15 copies of the draft water
quality management plan.
2.8 Evaluate Political and Economic Issues from
Public Review of Draft Plan
A public hearing will then be held to take
comments on the proposed waterbody classifications
and draft plan. Based on the presented comments,
the advisory committee shall recommend to the
City final waterbody classifications. A color
coded map, scale 1:24,000, shall be presented with
this recommendation. A document identifying the
classification system, its method of development,
and tabular presentation of final waterbody
classifications shall also be prepared. This task
shall be completed within three weeks of the
Public Hearing.
2.9 Final Water Quality Management Plan
The final water quality management plan will be
prepared by incorporating the comments and
concerns identified at the Public Hearing.
The content of this final water quality
management plan will include:
1. An outline of the waterbody classification
system that has been adopted by the City of Eagan.
2. A final classification of all waterbodies
within the City of Eagan along with a procedure
that may be followed if a given waterbody
classification is disputed.
3. A water quality management plan that will
state policies and outline practices that the City
of Eagan must follow in order to insure that the
City of Eagan's waterbodies are preserved for
their intended use.
4. Recommendations concerning location and sizing
of nutrient detention basins will be provided.
5. A capital improvement program that will
outline the project and funding needs that City
of Eagan must commit to achieve the goals of the
water quality management plan.
6. A yearly water quality monitoring program
that will allow the City of Eagan to evaluate
the performance of the improvements and
management techniques prescribed in the plan.
This final plan shall be completed by May 1989
and include 50 copies of the final plan.

COMMUNITY CENTER PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
The Community Center philosophy was initiated when our civic leaders
designated a site in 1978 for a future Community facility. Their
farsighted approach was to have a facility which provided for a multitude
of recreational opportunities for the entire family.
The Eagan Community Center is designed to serve as the civic, social
and recreational hub of the City. The Center will be a source of pride and
enjoyment for people of all ages while creating a sense of identify for
Eagan.
Programs will promote family participation in a variety of
recreational functions and be responsive to the needs and desires of the
total community. In order to serve all age and interest levels, a balanced
approach to programming and scheduling uses will be taken. No single
activity will dominate or go without representation. The Community Center
will provide quality leadership and programming to encourage self-wellness
and growth through recreation.

RE: a GPJ . PARK - WELL HOUSE BUIIDIWx
APROPOSAL
The City of Eagan, Engineering Department requests Advisory &
Recreation Commission review of the proposed well house building i c it
within Evergreen Park.
BACN3RQLJND
A second Water Treatment Plant has been proposed at the inters .nn of
Cliff Road and Ches Mar Drive. This facility will fulfill the demands for the City. Supporting the Water Treatment Plant is an a rra°y o ~f
wells located at the south end of Eagan. A study was pei . and
approved for designating well site locations.
Evergreen Park is a selected site for a well and associated structure
(See Figure #1) The well is currently being drilled. Prior to the
construction of the Water Treatment Building, the well, capable of treating
raw t-ir, will support periods which demand peak water usage.
FOR CC , Z' I REVIEW
The Commission will need to review the following items:
1. Is the Well House enclosure appropriate for Evergreen Park?
2. What is the inpact to Evergreen k?
1
The proposed structure strongly reflects the arc.ii' rural
configuration/style of the Rahn Athletic Shelter Building. Ins: -I of a
restroom core, this space is converted to ptreatment rooms. The
structure maintains a small picnic shelter area. (See Figure #2)
All exterior material types finishes will match our t park
building standards. The only perceivable difference is the sky_il__`- '2ich
provides maintenance access to the well.
The layout includes a bituminous service drive from Lodgepole Court to the
Well House. The service drive alignment removes approximately 251 from t':e
left field corner. The softball field was designed with 200' outf.?
The Park System Standards prefer a 275' outfield dimension with a
minimum for all neighborhood softball fields. The existing I k
configuration offers opportunity for relocating the facility or
the access drive.
A neighborhood meeting has been scheduled for 5:15 P.M., on January 9th,
located at the Eagan Municipal Center.

2. A meeting with residents of bridge Court, the Townhomes located
adjacent to Goat Hill Park and the HUD property is scheduled for
January 12th at 7:00 P.M. This will be an informal meeting to
determine resident concerns regarding park development of the HUD
property, etc.
3. The old McCarthy house was removed from ic7,~ r «z had
contacted both the State and County Historical Sc .i,.- y, Lnd -ey had
no ` interest saving the structure. The Caromission had 2arli
declared "no park interest"; and the City's Historical Committee also
stated the facility was of no value to them. The house had been
subject to vandalism, prior to use by the Eagan Athletic Association.
4. Two residents have complained about the briaht lights at the Pilot

property can be transferred early next year.
9. The glare shields have been installed at Goat Hill Park. The six
fixtures selected were aimed predominately to the east-
affecting on Avenue. Members may want to take a trip to the
park to determine for themselves what input they may have had.
10. A line of eager parents began forming prior to 9:30 A.M. for the

50 games of Bingo! Police Santa, Donn Smith, brought trma ~
the gathering. We even sang some Chri:t C roll
good basses the group!
20. The warm weather early November early December efforts
to begin the base flooding operation of the skating rinks. Flooding
didn't actually begin until Wednesday, Decwber 7th, about a week
a half beyond the anticipated starting date. is left only ten days
for ice build on the rinks prior to the scheduled opening on
Decemeber 17th. Needless say the rinks were in marginal to fair
condition for the opening.
The cold weather late December helped the maintenance to catch
with the establishment of base ice. Sub-zero temperatures in the
week following Christmas permitted flooding to bring the ice up
good to excellent conditions. Work also began with of the
Zamboni ice shaver leveling the skating surfaces. Thus far, - ff
have concentrated on the A and B rinks, ` with shaving ° don- --ior
to establishment of the red blue lines. By prel ° '.na -y at zr-_ s
it appears that the Zamboni will greatly assist the 3oL -irtm L- in
providing a high quality level in skating surfaces.
21. Relating to the maintenance of skating rinks, the new rink at Well
Site is working out very well, as is the pleasure rink at Bridle Ridge
Park. The tolerance of the grading operation at Well Site is
extremely good, which has permitted the establishment of 17as`a it in
on-going operations at this site. The new pleasure rink at ' '"?e
Ridge Park is also good condition and offers a good size
surface of approximately 100 ft. in diameter.
22. The six snow fall of December 26th, offered the first opportunity
to groom the cross country ski trails this year. The Parks &
Recreation Department is again contracting with the Lakeville Parks &
Recreation Department this year for the grooming of cross country ski
trails. All trails are now open generally good condition. At
Patrick Eagan k, the ""olde" cross country sign also replaced
to provide direction skiers.
23. The snowfall on the 26th proved to a fairly signific-1 clean-up
operation for maintenance staff. Everyone worked e),zr-..-,ly hard on
the morning of the 27th get all the cross country ski site areas
and parking lots open by noon that day. The department managers were
particularly pleased with the effort put forth in makang sure that the
sites were open ready to use by that afternoon.
24. u ay® December 22, the old " y House" in trick Eagan
Park was demolished removed, as per previous dip tion by the
Comission. The basement area was backfilled with gravel dnd the well
was capped on a temporary basis pending possibility of future use.
25. The de t received its operating for the lake aeration
systems at Fish S 2 lakes. Testing of the aeration systems
will now done in consultation with the Department of Natural
Resources. If and when the oxygen levels reach a low level in the
lakes, operation will begin under direction from the D.N.R.
26. John Vo Li e received a professional enrichment scholarship from
the Minnesota Recreation and k Foundation in December. John will
be using this scholarship to attend the 3rd year, Executive
Development Program for Park and Recreation Administrators at Indiana
University early February.

Dear Cambridge Court Homeowner:
Several months ago I spoke with Colleen Halley, oti, of, gig J in
the Cambridge Court Association, regarding the le ge, o L.;'a
property to the north of your residence. At the time of her call,
acquisition of the land by the City for parks purposes a distinct
possibility.
Over the course of the last several months, the "possibility" of
acquisition of this property has now become a "probability". Although the
City has yet to come to final terms on the acquisition, it now appears that
the department will purchasing this property, perhaps within the next
thirty to sixty days.
The department has been developing some early concept plans for the use of
this land. Before we get deeply into the planning process, I would like to
meet with you and other residents of Cambridge Court to discuss various
alternatives address your concerns for development of i:3 property. I
would l ` e to invite you to informal discussion on T1 - -day, J<-nnu:Iry

Re: Blackhawk Community Park
Dear Resident:
In response to your recent letter regarding Blackhawk Community Park, I
would be pleased to meet with you and your neighbors to discuss your
suggestions for use of Blackhawk Park as a nature center. Although, the
City has not taken formal action on the issue recently, the City has
previously designated Patrick Eagan Park for such a community use. Patrick
Eagan is in excess of one hundred five (105) acres, and has tremendous
diversity in vegetation and topography - making it an ideal site for such
a facility. However, this is still some years off, so until some formal
planning takes place, it will remain a preliminary designation.
As you are aware, the City has been waiting to acquire a south access to
Blackhawk Park for some years. The recent platting of the Blackhawk Ponds
Addition, has been the start of that process. You'll recall that when the
Blackhawk Oaks and Blackhawk Lakes Additions were being platted several
years ago, the issue of access to Blackhawk Park was of concern to the
neighborhood, Commission and Council. Then, as now, the primary access is
through Palisade; adjacent residents wanted to have this designated as a
local or a secondary access. The City's parks planning consultant
prepared a site analysis and reviewed various alternatives for providing
both access and parking. The access point ultimately chosen was from the
south, rather than an enlargement of the existing Palisade access. It was
recognized at that time that access would not be possible until
development activity was initiated on property to the south.

BLACKHAWK COMMUNITY PARK
DECEMBER 20, 1988

With the final platting of the Blackhawk Ponds Addition by Meritor
Development, the City has been able to acquire a portion of the necessary
road right-of-way for the south access. Additional property acquisition
will still be necessary from Mr. Murphy, who owns some forty (40) acres to
the south, to complete this connection. Survey work must first be
completed before negotiations for property acquisition can be initiated.
Consequently, until the City is able to acquire the necessary property, the
beginning of the design/development process for Blackhawk Park will
continue to remain on a "hold" status.
Regarding water quality, the Parks & Recreation Commission has hear n
aggressive force in trying to improve upon and maintain water quality
within the City. In 1982, with the Parks System Plan, the Park. and
Recreation Commission analyzed the potential for recreational use of some
fifteen (15) major water bodies in the City. It was recognized then that
Blackhawk Lake appeared to have "considerable potential" for year-round
fish habitat. Unfortunately, the lake does not have sufficient depth to
consistently prevent winter kill, and an intensive management program,
including aeration, would be necessary. (Incidentally, Mr. Murphy tells me
that the lake was once much smaller than it is today. The east portion of
the lake as we see it now, was once pasture land. Evidence that the lake
is indeed very shallow!)
Two members of the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission, along with Parks
Superintendent, John VonDeLinde, are currently serving on the Eagan Water
Quality Citizens Task Force. This Task Force has been establishing a list
of objectives and priorities for sampling/monitoring ponds and lakes, as
well as the development of an action oriented improvement program for
water bodies that lie in or adjacent to public parks and open spaces. The
Parks & Recreation Commission has just recently recommended to the Task
Force, that Blackhawk Lake be considered a direct contact lake, and ranked
#2 behind Thomas Lake. The recommendation for this high priority
considered accessibility and the potential that this water body provides
for recreational purposes. The water quality task force is still in the
review process and no final report has been published at this time.
In any case, we would certainly agree that the water quality of Blackhawk
can and should be improved, therefore efforts by the City and the Parks and
Recreation Commission will continue.
I would be happy to meet with the homeowners of this area to discuss
Blackhawk Park. As part of the normal parks planning process, the
Commission would conduct a neighborhood meeting, extending beyond the
adjacent property owners of the park. However, I can certainly meet with

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: REZONING/PRELIMINARY PLAT (COVENTRY PASS
ADDITION)
APPLIC : FRONTIER COMPANIES
LOCATION: 1/4 SECTION 24
EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DECEMBER 22, 1988
DATE OF REPORT: DECEMBER 15, 1988
REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted
requesting a Rezoning of 122.4 Ag (Agricultural) acres to an R-1
(Single Family) district and a Preliminary Plat for the Coventry
Pass Addition consisting of 227 lots. This large triangular site
is located east of Dodd Road abutting Inver Grove Heights to the
east.
COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE GUIDE PLAN
The Eagan Comprehensive Guide Plan is the City's statement of
goals, objectives and policies for guiding future development
within the City. The Land Use Plan designates the types and
locations of future land use for all property in Eagan. The
boundaries of these future land uses are generally located for
undeveloped or under-developed parcels. When a specific
development project is proposed for such parcels, the locations
and boundaries of the land use designations should be refined to
reflect appropriate developments.
The proposed project includes property designated in the Land Use
Plan for D-II (Mixed Residential - 0-6 units per acre), P
(Parks), and IND (Industrial). The proposed development contains
240 single family lots plus a 15-acre (approx.) park, and would
be consistent with the D-II and P designations. However, the
location for the proposed park is different from the area
designated for P on the Land Use Plan. As such, the proposed
project requires a Comprehensive Plan Amendment within the
project boundaries to: 1) change the area designated P to D-II,
2) change portions of the area designated D-II to P, and 3)
change the area designated IND to D-II.
The amendment changing the land use designation from D-II to P
and P to D-II is basically a relocation of the same uses within
the project area, rather than a change in land use types.
Likewise, given the current location of the D-II area to the
south of the existing IND area, the amendment changing the land
use designation from IND to D-II is essentially a refinement of
the land use designation boundaries. 'ff I-
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Plan, as well as the Parks System Plan,
recognizes the need of a neighborhood park in this portion of the
City. That area was previously illustrated between Dodd Road and
the large pond near the center of the site. This application
proposes to shift the park to the southeast portion of the site
adjacent to industrial zoned Inver Grove Heights and the GB zoned
Clarkson Place Addition to the south. The City's Parks
Department reviewed this site and a park development plan
submitted by the applicant to determine whether the proposed
layout met the City's neighborhood park requirements.
The 15.84 acres shown do not meet those requirements.
11.06 acres are above the high water line (HWL). Of that area
only 2.4 acres have slopes less than 12% and .54 acres are
between 0-5%.
EXISTING CONDITIONS/SITE PLAN
This site consists primarily of open grassland with scattered
oaks near the pond and the farmstead east of the central pond.
Those buildings, as well as the trees, will be removed with this
plan.
The plan assumes that the adjacent land in Inver Grove Heights
will be rezoned from Industrial to Single Family in the future.
If that does not occur, there is very little buffer between that
area. Staff is also concerned with having so many double fronted
lots along Dodd Road. The subdivision chapter of the City Code
states:
Double frontage and reverse frontage lots shall be
avoided except where essential to provide separation of
development from traffic arterials, or to overcome
specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. A
planting screen easement of at least ten feet (10') in
width may be required by the City, across which there
shall be no right to vehicular access. Said screen
shall only be required along the line of lots where said
screen would be at an elevation as related to the
traffic arterial so as to provide an effective screen.
All lots are above 12,000 square feet and are at leat 85' wide at
the setback line.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSIONS CONTROL: The preliminary grading plan
submitted as a prt of this application proposed cut and fill
areas ranging from 30' to 25', respectively.
Fill of approximately 25' is proposed to be placed over an
existing 12" PVC sanitary sewer, 6" water main and 12" storm
sewer forcemain in the southwest corner of the development.
Staff recommends that these three lines shall be removed and
replaced with new lines installed at the proper depths and in the
alignment of Street A.
The preliminary street grades as shown on the grading plan meet
the City's standards. This development shall match the existing
grades provided in the adjoining Country Hollow development.
The grading plan shows slopes steeper than a 3:1 slope on Lot 19,
Block 8. If the grading plan cannot be revised to show a 3:1
slope, then a retaining wall shall be required or a slope
easement will have to be obtained from the adjacent property to
the north.
Staff recommends that the grading plan along the north end of
Pond JP-25.3 be revised to show that the pond shall be excavated
to the normal water level. The storm sewer lines that enter the
north end of the pond shall be combined and discharge at the L.
The development is proposing to convey the site generated storm
water runoff from the north end of the site to Pond JP-56 as per
the City's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. The preliminary
drainage plan proposes to provide for an outlet for Pond JP-56 to
Pond JP-23, which also receives storm water runoff from the
central portion of the development. As shown on the drainage
plan, Pond JP-23 shall have a storm sewer outlet draining to Pond
JP-24.
The southeastern area of this development drains to Pond JP-24,
and an outlet for this pond is proposed to drain to Pond JP-25.3.
A storm sewer outlet pipe shall also be provided as shown on the
drainage plan for Pond JP-25.4. A majority of this pond is
located on parcel number 010-79, which is currently undeveloped.
The Country Hollow 2nd Addition development shall be providing a
storm sewer outlet for Pond JP-25.3 to Pond JP-26, which is in
the Country Hollow Addition.
A storm sewer line is proposed to be stubbed to the southwest
corner of parcel number 010-79. This storm sewer line shall have
sufficient capacity to handle a flow of 4 cfs.
The proposed drainage plan for the southwestern portion of this
development shall have a storm sewer system that proposes to
convey the runoff of 20 cfs from this area plus the 4 cfs from
parcel number 010-79 to an existing 24" storm sewer line on
Lantern Lane in the Country Hollow development. The existing 24"
storm sewer has sufficient capacity and depth to handle the
projected runoff.
Staff recommends that a storm sewer inlet be added in between
Lots 8 and 9 of Block 6 to collect the runoff water in the back
yard swale. The storm sewer inlet shall have sufficient capacity
to handle 5 cfs.
The development will be required to provide emergency overland
outlets from all low areas.
According to the drainage plan submitted for review, the
development will be required to collect the runoff from two
existing culverts that cross Dodd Road north of Elrene Road.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient depth and
capacity is readily available to the site in three locations
along the south property line of the development.
The proposed sanitary sewer line that is shown to connect to the
existing 12" PVC sanitary sewer along Prairie Ridge Road shall be
designed to handle a peak flow of 1.1 cubic feet per second.
Staff recommends that an 8" sanitary sewer line shall be added
along the lot line in between Lots 12 and 13 of Block 8 to serve
parcel number 012-80.
On a temporary basis, 42 lots in the Hills of Stonebridge
development were allowed to connect to the sanitary sewer that
drains northerly through the West Publishing development. As per
the Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan, the 42 lots in the
northeast corner of the Hills of Stonebridge development shall
drain southerly to this development. Therefore, this development
shall add an 8" sanitary sewer line from Street K to an existing
manhole on the east side of Dodd Road in the northwest corner of
this development.
According to the utility plan submitted for review, the developer
proposes to construct 1600 of 30' to 46' deep sanitary sewer.
Staff recommends that alternative layouts should be examined by
the developer to avoid the deep sanitary sewer lines.
Water main service of sufficient pressure and capacity is readily
available along the south side and west side of the development.
The development is proposing to connect to the existing 12" water
main on Dodd Raod and loop through the development and connect to
three existing 6" water main stubs that have been provided by the
Country Hollow 1st and 2nd Addition developments.
The 1988 Water Distribution System Plan shows an 8" trunk water
main shall be installed through this development from the
existing 12" water main on Dodd Road to the southeast corner of
this development.
Staff recommends that sanitary sewer and water main service shall
be extended to parcel number 012-76 in the southeast corner of
this development.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Street access to this site is
readily available from Dodd Road on the west and three streets on
the south that circulate through the Country Hollow 1st and 2nd
Additions to Diffley Road. This development will improve the
access to the Country Hollow development, which has access off
Diffley Road in only one location.
Temporary cul-de-sacs will be required on the ends of all stub
streets.
According to the street layout plan submitted for review, Street
E is proposed to be a cul-de-sac. Staff recommends that the
developer work with the southeasterly adjacent proerty owner
(parcel number 012-76 and 017-76) to determine if Street E should
be extended to the south for future access for these adjacent
parcels.
The additional traffic generated from this development will
accelerate the need for Dodd Road to be upgraded within the next
2 - 3 years. Dodd Road is currently a rural section 2-lane
street that is dedicated as a municipal state aid street.
SITE PLAN: Staff recommends thta Lot 1 of Block 1 should be
revised to dedicate an outlot in the northwest corner of Lot 1 to
improve the street access for parcel number 010-53 onto proposed
Street A. Access to parcel number 010-53 onto Dodd Road will be
difficult and undesirable because Dodd Road is 10' to 20' higher
than this parcel along its north end.
EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAYS/PERMITS: The development will be
required to provide the appropriate ponding easements for all the
ponds in this development to the required high water level and
storage volume requirements in accordance with the City of
Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan.
Temporary easements will be required for all of the temporary
cul-de-sacs.
All regulatory agency permits shall be acquired within the
appropriate time frame as rquired by the affected agency.
A 50' half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Dodd Road.
SOIL AND WATER RESOURCES: Evaluation of the impact of this
development on the City soil and water resources has been
evaluated by the County Soil and Water Conservation District
(SWCD). Their review and comments are incorporated in a memo
dated December 9, 1988 and attached hereto.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS: Portions of the property incorporating
this proposed development have been previously assessed for trunk
related benefits from existing infrastructure facilities. Of the
total area of 122 acres, 55.5 acres have been previously assessed

Re: Coventry Pass
Preliminary Plat Review
Soil Resources
Soils on site are generally well suited to the development
proposed. According to the Dakota County Soil Survey, soils
with a high water table occur in depressional areas on the
site (see attached plat). These soils typically have a
seasonal high water table within 1-3 feet of the existing
surface. These soils also have a high potential for frost
action.
R -endations:
Soil borings should be done by a geotechnical firm to
determine the suitability of soils on site for the proposed
use and the corrective soils work required.
Water Resources
The main water resource issue for the Coventry Pass
Development is the impact of the land use change on the
quality of downstream waterbodies. The increase in nutrient
runoff resulting from the development of this area was
estimated using models developed by William Walker Jr. and
Reckhow and Simpson. The models estimate that approximately
78 pounds of phosphorus per year are currently exported from
the site. Following development, approximately 104 pounds
of phosphorus will be discharged to downstream waterbodies
from JP-26.
As shown on the preliminary plat, runoff will be discharged
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
into five different waterbodies. The drainage areas
contributing to each of the five waterbodies is shown below:
15.65 acres to the North Pond
48.25 acres to JP-23
24.74 acres to JP-24
17.79 acres to JP-25
16.00 acres to JP-26
The Walker Model was used to estimate the wet pond volumes
needed in each waterbody in order to reduce nutrient export
from the site to pre-development levels. The necessary pond
sizes and volumes are as follows:
Surface size wet pond volume
Unnamed North pond 0.5 acre 1.34 ac. ft.
JP-23 1.3 acre 5 ac. ft.
JP-24 2.3 acre 9.3 ac. ft.
JP-25 1.3 acre 5,0 ac. ft.
JP-26 4.5 acre 18 ac. ft.
The grading plans for the site show that the size and wet
pond volume for the unnamed pond are probably adquate for
nutrient removal. However, the plans are not d--Aled
enough to estimate the existing volumes of JP-23 or JP-24.
The wetland inventory data shows that although the sizes of
JP-23 and JP-24 are large enough, their depth will need to
be increased in order to achieve adequate storage volumes.
The site grading plans for the Country Hollow developments
indicated that the volume and size of JP-25 is adequate for
nutrient removal, but that JP-26 needs to be enlarged to
function properly. Because JP-26 is the discharge pond for
this development, it is the most crucial waterbody for
reducing downstream nutrient movement.
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Review
An incomplete Erosion and Sediment Control (E&SC) Plan
submitted with the Preliminary Plat.
The following are specific E&SC comments for Coventry Pass
that need to be addressed:
1. The proposed slopes on the backside of lots 14 and 15,
block 6, and lots 3 and 4, block 8, is steeper than a
3:1 slope. We recommend that all slopes be no steeper
than 3:1. On slopes steeper than 4:1, we recommend the
installation of erosion control matting.
2. It appears that lots will be benched. A lot benching
detail should be included on the plan.
3, It should be identified on the plan under GC-1 that the
site will be seeded and mulched within 15 days after
rough grading.
4. Specifications for seeding and mulching the site should
be included on the plan.
5. Silt fence should be installed on the contour and not
up and down hills as identified on the plan. A detail
for the installation of the silt fence should be
included on the plan.
6. Under GC-1l, it should be identified on the plan that
all areas will be seeded and mulched within 15 days
after utilities are installed.
7. The plan should identify the location of construction
entrances. A detail for tree rock construction entrance
oad should be included on the plan.
8. Stormsewer inlet filters may be needed to prevent
sediment from entering ponds. This detail should be
included on the plan,
9. Stormsewer outlets should be adequately protected with
riprap to prevent erosion from occurring.
10. Identify on the plan where topsoil will be placed,
11. Include anticipated construction schedules for:
a. rough grading
b, utility installation
c, curb and gutter
d. paving
12. A temporary sediment trap should be installed on lot 9,
block 8.
Recommendation For Action
We recommend that erosion and sediment control and water
quality issues be resolved before a grading permit is issued
or final plat approval.

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT (TOWN CENTRE 100 7TH)
APPLIC : FEDERAL LAND COMPANY
LOCATION: OUTLOT A, TOWN CENTRE 100 6TH ADDITION
EXISTING ZONING: LB (LIMITED BUSINESS) WITHIN THE TOWN
CENTRE 100 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DECEMBER 22, 1988
DATE OF REPORT: DECEMBER 15, 1988
REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
APPLICATION SUMMARY
An application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary Plat
for the Town Centre 100 7th Addition consisting of two lots and
an outlot on 19.5 previously-zoned LB (Limited Business) acres
within the Town Centre 100 Planned Development. This proposal
for a single-story office building is consistent with the Planned
Development and no amendments are necessary. The site is located
on the south side of Town Centre Drive.
EXISTING CONDITIONS/SITE PLAN
Adjacent land uses are the previously-approved Waterford
Apartments to the east, undeveloped Limited Business land to the
west, Community Shopping Center land on the north side of Town
Centre Drive, and the Duckwood Estates subdivision and O'Leary
Park to the south.
This site is primarily open, flat grassland except along the
southern property line that falls rapidly towards O'Leary Lake
and the park. The edge of the pond is heavily wooded and should
not be disturbed if careful grading is practiced. The west side
of the lake has single-family homes backing up to it and this
site. The existing trees on these lots make a nice buffer.
The homes are approximately 20' higher than the closest parking
lot elevation.
O'Leary Lake is classified as a General Development Lake within
the City's Shoreland Ordinance. All building and parking
setbacks meet Code requirements. The Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources will also have to complete their review of this
project prior to City Council action.
The building area will be platted as two lots containing 7.2
acres, with the remaining area a 12.3-acre outlot. The two lots
will allow separate ownership of the 52,400-square-foot building.
A basement level contains 16,000 square feet and will be used as
a storage/service area for the tenants only. The site plan was
modified at staff's request in order to make the parking area
more efficient and to increase setbacks along the southern
property line and adjacent to the apartments. All building and
parking code requirements have been adhered to. Two hundred
seventy-three parking stalls have been provided.
A bituminous trail is proposed around the north side of O'Leary
Lake that will connect to the trails in the park and eventually
to Town Centre Drive. An easement and trail along the east
property line are desired by the Parks Department in order to
provide this connection. Due to the steep drop towards the lake,
the location of the trail will need to be staked in the field to
insure site sensitivity.
The building itself will be constructed of brick or limestone
similar to the Waterview office building. A decorative sign band
and parapet will blend in nicely with building elevations. The
building and landscaping are integrated well. Staff recommends
additional landscape screening near the southern parking lot
area.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: T1:e proposed site was
previously rough graded as a part of the Town Centre development,
therefore, minimal site grading is required for site development.
The preliminary grading plan submitted as a part of this
application proposed cut and fill areas ranging from 6' to 12',
respectively. The development is proposing to construct three
retaining walls along the south side of the proposed building.
The development will be required to submit detailed plans and
specifications for the proposed retaining wall construction for
staff review and approval.
The preliminary grading plan shows that no grading will be done
below the L (high water level) of Pond DP-7-
The proposed internal storm sewer system will need to be revised.
The proposed storm sewer connection to the existing 12" public
system in the northwest corner of the development will not be
allowed. The existing 12" storm sewer in the location of the
proposed connection does not have adequate capacity to
accommodate the site runoff. Staff recommends that the site
runoff in the northwest corner of the development drain through a
storm sewer system that connects to an existing 18" storm sewer
stub on Town Centre Drive. If the site runoff from the northwest
corner of the site is diverted to the storm sewer system on Town
Centre Drive, then the existing 12" storm sewer has adequate
capacity for the site runoff from the southwest corner of the
site. Then the proposed storm sewer system in the southwest
corner of the site can connect to the existing 12" storm sewer as
the preliminary drainage plan shows.
The northeast corner of the site will be drained by a storm sewer
line that will connect to an existing 15" storm sewer stub on
Town Centre Drive. The existing storm sewer system on Town
Centre Drive drains northerly to Pond DP-20. Pond DP-20 has an
outlet via the existing 12" storm sewer system thaL drains
southerly through the western side of the site and into 7od DP-7
(O'Leary Lake).
Staff recommends that a storm sewer stub designed to handle a
flow of 4 cfs shall be added to the northeast corner of Outlot A.
The storm sewer stub shall connect to the existing 18" storm
sewer stub off Town Centre Drive.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient depth and capacity to
serve Lot 1 is readily available in Town Centre Drive. A 6"
sanitary sewer service has been provided to the property line.
The invert elevation of the 6" service stub is an elevation of
approximately 897. Therefore, the garage level of the proposed
building cannot be served by a gravity line to Town Centre Drive.
Sanitary sewer of sufficient depth and capacity to serve Lot 2
and the garage level of the proposed building is readily
available along the east property line of the development. A 12"
trunk sanitary sewer line has been provided with an invert
elevation of approximately 872.5.
Water main service of sufficient capacity and pressure is readily
available in Town Centre Drive. Two 6" water main stubs have
been provided off the existing 12" water main in Town Centre
Drive. The development proposes to take its water main service
from the westerly existing water service stub provided.
Sufficient fire hydrant protection was provided as a part of the
Town Centre development.
The preliminary utility plan proposes to serve Lots 1 and 2 with
one 6" sanitary sewer service and one 6" water service. Staff
recommends that each lot shall have its own sanitary sewer and
water service.
The development proposes to relocate two existing hydrants
because the hydrants are located in proposed driveways. Staff
recommends that the development shall add new gate valves on the
hydrant leads when the hydrants are relocated.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION/TRAILWAYS: Access to the site is
taken directly from Town Centre Drive. A proposed 24" wide
ingress and a 24" wide egress driveway are proposed in the
center of the development.
Two other driveways are proposed; one on the east side and
another on the west side of the development. Both of these
driveways shall be 30' wide with 25' radii.
The preliminary grading, drainage and erosion control plan
proposes an 8' wide bituminous trail along the south side of the
development. Staff recommends that the trail shall be
constructed all the way to the west property line of the
development and all the way to the existing trail system in
O'Leary Park along the east side of the development.
EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS: Cross easements will be required
for the proposed parking lot traffic to ensure that each platted
parcel has access to public right-of-way. The development will
be required to provide appropriate easements for all public
utilities constructed outside of public right-of-way which serve
more than one potential user.
Sufficient right-of-way for Town Centre Drive was provided for
with the original platting of the Town Centre 100 development.
The development will be required to provide the appropriate
ponding easement for Pond DP-7 to incorporate the required high
water level and storage volume requirements in accordance with
the City of Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan.
Additional easement will be required for the 20' to 40' deep
existing 12" sanitary sewer which is along the east property line
of the development.
All regulatory agency permits shall be acquired within the
appropriate time frame as required by the affected agency.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS: This proposed development has been
previously assessed for all related benefit from the existing
infrastructure facility serving this proposed development with
the exception of the following current pending assessments:

Soil and Water Resource Review
Soil Resource Review
current soils information is availaole for this site.
Previous gracing work has disturbed the natural soils. To
ensure tnat there are no limitations for building
faun'iations or streets, soil borings should be taken by a
gc:otechn ical fi r,r.
O,7ater Resource Review
The main water resource concern for this site is tide impact
of development on the water quality of P-7 (O'Leary Lake).
P-7 is classified as a Type II waterbody and is ranked as
one of the five most important waterbodies by the Pagan Park
Departrent. The impact of site development on JP-7 was
estimated using a model developed by William Walker Jr.
The ,walker Model indicates that pnosohorus loading to VP-7
from this 7.23 acre site will increase from approximately
four pounds/year to twenty pounds/year following
development. The ,Walker Model indicates that a properly
designed pond with (.4 acres of surface area and 1,5 acre
feet of wet pond volume will reduce nutrient loading to near
pre-development levels. The pond should be triangular in
shape and have a mean depth of at least four feet. The
inlet and outlet pipes should be at opposite ends of the
pond.

Erosion and Sediment Control Review
The following review is based on the Preliminary Grading,
Drainage, Erosion Control and Utility Plan submitted with
the preliminary plat. The following General Criteria were
not addressed in the plan. These criteria need to be
satisfied before a grading permit is granted or final plat
approval.
GC-1 and GC-2 Stabilization of denuded areas
Seeding and mulching specifications and schedules need to be
provided on the plan. The area of primary importance is the
fill slope along the lake.
CC-3 Protection of adjacent properties
Some specific plan needs to be developed to keep sediment
out of O'Leary Lake. A berm and sediment basin system may
be possible or the slope may be benched to reduce runoff
velocities and volume. In addition Building Construction
traffic must be prohibited from the fill slope areas along
the Lake. The practices to be used must be clearly labeled
on the plan.
CC-4 Construction schedules
Preliminary construction schedule must be on the plan that
outlines when sediment trapping measures will be installed
and when seeding will be accomplished.
GC-5 Sediment basin
If a sediment basin is used on this site the design must be
to Soil Conservation Service #350 specification.
GC-9 Stormsewer inlet protection
We recommend placement of silt fence around stomp sewer
catch basins that are located in unpaved parking lot art,.:;.
Use of this practice depends on construction schedules, but
a detail should be provided on the plan that shows the
design that may be needed.
GC-l2 Construction access routes
All ingress-egress points to the site require a rock
construction entrance. Nhere these will be located and a
design detail must be on the plan.
CC-13 and CC-14 Disooosition and Maintenance
A contact person must be named on the plan who will handle
erosion control compliance questions, should they arise.
