09/01/1988 - Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission MEMORANDUM MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION DATE: AUGUST 29, 1988 RE: SEPTEMBER 1, 1988 COMMISSION MEETING The September 1st, Advisory Commission meeting will again be preceded by a tour of the parks; we will leave from City Hall at 6:30 P.M. and make a brief stop at O'Leary Park, and on to Bur Oaks Park to review development activities there; and then Woodlands School/Mueller Farm Park for a construction update. A relatively "light agenda" is planned for the Commission with three (3) items under the consent agenda and only two (2) development proposals which will require review. NEW BUSINESS There are six items for new business. The first is a request for development/designation of a "skateboard park"; this comes from a number of youths within the community. Intern, Mel Bailey, has done some data research into the issue and we have prepared a report for your review. It is my understanding that several of the youths who had initiated the request with the Mayor, will be present to state their requests. The second item under "New Business" pertains to Bridle Ridge Park. Residents of this new development/park, have obtained an informal survey concerning their needs. Steve Sullivan has prepared a memorandum concerning that meeting of the residents and at the request of the residents will place this item on the agenda. It is expected that several of the neighbors near the park will be present to request the Commission place a priority on the placement of playground equipment for the park, development of a skating rink, and consideration for a wading pool. Should the neighborhood continue to voice priority for a wading pool, it would be Staff's suggestion that this be reviewed in context with the master plan of the park system. It is our opinion that wading pools would be a community activity and not necessary a neighborhood park component. If wading pools are judged to be a need of the community, then the issue should be discussed to determine (1) how many, (2) what size, (3) which sites would be advantageous. A "new" item #3 - Northview petition was added late Friday. A memo has been prepared to cover this item. The third item under "New Business" relates to the McCarthy House. Staff has provided you with a brief memorandum concerning the background of this structure located in Patrick Eagan Park. Direction from the Advisory Commission is requested concerning the ongoing status of this building. Item #4 under "New Business" is the Dakota County Soils and Water Conservation District's preliminary classification of ponds and lakes. The memorandum has not yet been prepared concerning this particular item. Please familiarize yourself with the classification listings and Staff will attempt to provide additional briefing material at the Commission meeting. The final item concerns the Trust Fund, which has previously been discussed with the Advisory Commission. A more extensive "report" has been developed for the possibility of funding and structuring a Trust Fund. There are numerous alternatives presented in the report, and Staff is seeking direction from the Advisory Commission to either pursue the idea, or drop the concept entirely. PARKS DEVELOPMENT Landscape Architect/Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan, will update the Advisory Commission on a number of the ongoing development projects. Progress has been made on the Parks Development Contract #87-18, and there are a number of items taking place at other park sites. There have been no further developments relative to the Community Center site at this time. However, gust a brief reminder that the architects will be having their second design charette later in the month and once the formal agenda has been developed, notification of this will be made. OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS There are several items under "Other Business and Reports" for the Commission to discuss and review. Plans for the annual Commission picnic should be developed for this year, if we are to have one. Staff has also provided you with "departmental happenings" for the most recent months, the bond fund print-out, and a letter from a resident near "Moonshine Park". As always, if members are unable to attend the Advisory Commission meeting, notification to the department would be appreciated.

Adjournment Subject to Droval MINUTES A REGULAR MEETING THE ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGA MINNESOTA AUGUST , 1988 A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission was called to order at 7:50 P.M. on Thursday, August , 1988 with the following Commission Members present: Michele Swanson, Wayne Sames, Sandy Masin, JoAnne Alt and Bob Porter. Staff present included Director of Parks and Recreation, Ken Vraa; Landscape Architect/Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan; Parks Superintendent, John VonDeLinde; Recreation Supervisor, Dorothy Peterson; Recreation Supervisor, Paula Nowariak; Parks Secretary, Cherryl Mesko; Recreation Intern, Bonnie Blood and Parks Intern, Mel Bailey. Commission Members not present included Dick Carroll and George Kubik. AGENDA Wayne Sames moved, JoAnne Alt seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the agenda as presented. MINUTES FROM JULY 7, 1988 MEETING JoAnne Alt moved, Bob Porter seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the minutes of the July 7, 1988 meeting as presented. MINUTES FROM Y 2, 1988 JOINT MEETING Michele Swanson moved, Wayne Sames seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the minutes of the May 26, 1988 Joint Meeting as presented. AWARDS FOR 10 YEARS OF SERVICE Recreation Supervisor Dorothy Peterson recapped for the Commission the past 10 years of Kristy Belew's involvement with the Eagan Parks Department. She began at age 15 working first at Woodhaven Park as an assistant and then moved on to Carnelian as a leader. Her work continued to encompass more Summer in the Park locations and the Tiny Tots program. Kristy is currently a teacher at Deerwood Elementary School and continues to be a welcomed and vital addition to the Parks Department summer staff. Sandy Masin, presented Kristy Belew with a plaque expressing the Park and Recreation Department's appreciation for her 10 years of dedication to the children of Eagan. Prior to the beginning of the Commission meeting, Commission Member JoAnne Alt presented a 10 year award to Kathleen Fletcher, again noting the invaluable assistance she has been to the Eagan Parks Department for all those years. Kathleen has played a significant role in continuing the excellence in programming that the City provides it's children. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 4, 1988 Meeting Page 2 CONSENT AGENDA The following consent agenda items were presented for approval. On a motion by Wayne Sames, seconded by JoAnne Alt with all members voting in favor, the Commission approved recommendation to the City Council of the following items: 1. YOCUM OIL CO. - Conditional Use Permit. That this plat be subject to a cash parkland dedication. 2. ALAXIE CLIFF PLAZA - That this plat be subject to a cash parkland dedication and that a five (5) foot sidewalk be placed along the west side of Galaxie Avenue. 3. VINCENT J. KENNEDY - Waiver of Plat. That this plat be subject to a cash parkland dedication. 4. WOODLANDS 2ND ADDITION - That this plat be subject to a cash parkland dedication. . SUCREST ADDITION - That this plat be subject to a cash parkland dedication. 6. SEECA PLANT ADD. - That this plat be subject to a cash parkland dedication. As a note to the record, JoAnne Alt questioned the area shown in the Galaxie Cliff Plaza drawings showing an area identified as park. Ken Vraa noted that this was merely an open space area and not a park as identified by the Parks and Recreation Department. JoAnne Alt expressed her concern that the public may perceive this as a City park and felt this point needed to be clarified. Director Vraa noted that he would get a clarification from the developer on this issue. HIIE PARK ADDITION Parks Planner Sullivan reviewed the proposed Highview Park Addition for the Commission stating that the property currently had one home and the owner wanted to subdivide the property into three single family lots. The Advisory Planning Commission has denied the proposal concerned by the proposed lot widths at the setback line which is not consistent with the existing lots within the neighborhood. The issues that the Commission will need to address are, should the preliminary plat provide a trail easement to Highview Park and what are the parkland dedication requirements. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 4, 1988 Meeting Page Mr. Sullivan indicated that the distance to the ighview Park and lack of a future north/south connection may warrant the need for a trail easement through the proposed development. The placement of a 0 foot trail easement between proposed lots #1 and 2 would provide a direct connection to ighview Park from the northern residential area. With the implementation of this trailway the furthest walking distance would be approximately 3/4 mile to the park. Wayne Sames noted that in the past the Commission has asked for an access easement for larger developments but questioned if they had required the same for a development this size. Director raa responded that this specific request has not come before the Commission in the past. Sandy Masin asked if the trail access was for safety reasons or more for convenience in reaching the park. It was noted that the current access to the park was via the streets in the neighborhood, that safety was not a specific issue but the trail would shorten the distance to the park from the northern residential area. Wayne Sames asked if the easement would negatively affect the proposed lots. Director Vraa responded by stating that the lots were approximately 12,000 feet so the 20 foot access should not impact the lots negatively. After further discussion, Bob Porter moved, Wayne Sames seconded with all members voting in favor to have the developer provide a twenty (20) foot trail easement between Lots #1 and #2 and that a cash parkland dedication be required. ESTCOTT SQUARE ADDITION Steve Sullivan outlined for the Commission the proposed Westcott Square Addition which requests the preliminary plat of seventy-one (71) townhomes on 9.83 acres currently zoned R-. The proposed plat is located within Neighborhood Park Service Area 14 which is serviced by Woodlands School/Park located 3/4 mile from the proposed Westcott Square Addition. The first issue for Commission review is to determine whether the existing park service area adequately services the park user population. If it is not adequate, Mr. Sullivan suggested that the Commission consider alternatives such as providing a mini-park or requiring the developer to provide on-site amenities to supplement the existing parkland. Mini-parks, by definition, are provided only when a park need in an area cannot be fulfilled in any other way. If the Commission determined, after review, that a mini- park would be appropriate in this case, parkland acquisition would be necessary. Mr. Sullivan noted that the Westcott Square Addition would provide little opportunity for parkland acquisition being encompassed by streets. Another alternative for the Commission to consider would be to have the proposed multi-family developments provide on-site amenities to supplement the existing park and to service the residents within the development. This typically occurs in large, high density areas. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 4,1988 Page 4 The second issue for Commission review, would be what type of parkland dedication would be required; land or cash. Sandy Msin asked what the ratio is for people to park service area. Steve Sullivan responded that it is approximately 5,000, and in some cases we exceed that number. In this particular case the numbers would be projected at approximately 6,400+ if everything that is planned as multiple is built. Michele Swanson asked if it was known how many 1 bedroom, bedroom, etc. the developer was proposing in this project. JoAnne Alt noted that there is no open space shown and questioned why it wasn't since it should be a requirement of the Land Use Ordinance. Steve Sullivan stated that some times the Land Use Ordinance hasn't been strictly adhered to but it has been used in the past to insure recreation areas. Member Masin asked if the open space can be imposed on the development and if it was known when, or if, the 4 acre parcel to the south of estcott Square Addition would change from multi-family to single family. Steve Sullivan explained that it is not known at this time when, or if, this parcel will request a change from multi-family to single family; it is currently zoned R-4. Director Vraa noted to the Commission that they could suggest to the Planning Commission that the developer provide recreation space/amenities. If the City were to wait for the 4 acre parcel to be developed and then require a parkland dedication it would only be looking at a maximum park area of + acres which, as has been discovered in the past, would not be sufficient to provide some of the recreational opportunities necessary for this area. JoAnne Alt asked if the Commission would have an opportunity to review this development proposal again before it was approved. Ken Vraa stated that the Commission's recommendations could be passed on to the Advisory Planning Commission on August 23rd and then come back to the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission for it's September 1st meeting. The Commission can then, at that time, recommend a park dedication credit for providing usable recreation facilities if it deems necessary. Wayne Sames moved that the Commission recommend that the developer provide, at minimum, an open space within the development and the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission would consider a parkland dedication credit based on what amenities the developer proposed to include. The motion further stated that the developer should provide plans for proposed recreational opportunities within the development, that this development be reviewed by the Advisory Planning Commission at it's August 2, 1988 meeting and then come before the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission at it's September 1st meeting to consider a possible parkland dedication credit. The motion was seconded by JoAnne Alt with all members voting in favor. Michele Swanson noted for the record that she would like staff to determine how many one bedroom and two bedroom homes are being planned in this development. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 4, 1988 Meeting Page 00 Y LAKE/BERRY PATCH PAR Director Vraa provided the Commission with a brief history of the Mooney Lake/Berry Patch Park issues stating that in 1981 the trail was installed as part of the development of Hilltop Estates. In 1982-8 the pond flooded because of no controlled storm outlet. In July of 1986 the installation of the lift station was determined to be necessary. When the project was completed, the pump installed and the water level lowered, the number of trees killed from the flooded waters was apparent. In December of 1987 staff inspected the affected trees and cut as many as possible at that time. On June 24, 1988 a meeting was held with the residents surrounding Mooney Lake to discuss the condition of the park and pond area; specifically the lowered water level exposing stumps from the trees that had been cut and the weeds that were growing in the lake; a situation that was compounded because of the lack of rainfall. The residents suggested that they would like to see the pond elevation raised from the normal level of 859.4 to the flood level of 863 and have the trail abandoned. A subsequent meeting was held with the residents in July to look at alternatives as it relates to raising the water elevation. Several options were suggested such as installing the trail in front of the homes to continue the integrity of the trail link system, raising the trail somewhat to try to to keep it above flood level, and perhaps install a dock at one of the spur locations to access Mooney Lake. With the background provided, Director Vraa introduced the spokesperson who would be representing the neighbors surrounding Mooney Lake. Carla Ingalls, who resides at 1305 Berry Ridge Road South, directly adjacent to the park and lake, introduced herself as spokesperson for the neighboring residents. She stated that there are 10 homeowners that overlook Mooney Lake and those living in the Hilltop Estates area have enjoyed the lake for many years. Most of the residents in the surrounding area had heard that the original developer had constructed a trail along Mooney Lake in 1981 but the majority of current homeowners have not been able to use the trail since it has been under water until just recently. Many of the homeowners did not know a trail existed. When the lift station was installed in the fall of 1987 the water level was pumped below the park trail exposing it for the first time in many years. During the winter, the Park Department informed the residents that they would enter the park area and remove/clean out the trees that were exposed after the water level changed. The residents viewed this as a very positive move and were pleased to see it being handled. The spring and summer of 1988, however, brought with it a terrible look for Mooney Lake. Ms. Ingalls proceeded to explain that the residents had conferred with outside authorities who noted that the only use for Mooney Lake was for aesthetics and wildlife habitat. She noted that a representative of the DNR had also stated that Mooney Lake was a dieing pond unless something was done to preserve it. The Public Works Department noted to the residents that in raising the water level, changes would need to be made in the storm sewer drain system. Ms. Ingalls noted, however, that the storm sewer situation was not an issue. The residents` perception of the situation is Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 4, 1988 Meeting Page 6 that the Parks Department, in order to save the trail link, is defeating the purpose of having the trail adjacent to such a once beautiful natural resource by not preserving that natural resource, i.e. Mooney Lake. Further investigation, noted s. Ingalls, predicts that the next few years will provide for a drought rather than above average rainfall, i.e. the 100 year flood. They feel that it doesn't make much sense to plan for a "possible" 100 year flood when the indications are much stronger for a drought. Ms. Ingalls further stated that this was truly an unfortunate incident that had occurred and that the residents wanted very much to see it resolved in a satisfactory manner. They are asking that the Parks Department direct Public Works to proceed with the option of raising the elevation of Mooney Lake to a level that will both correct the visual appearance of the lake as well as increase the water quality. Nancy Creighton, a resident from Chatterton Ponds addressed the Commission by thanking them for taking the time to listen to the concerns of the residents of both Hilltop Estates and Chatterton Ponds. She noted that they were very appreciative of the opportunity to meet with the various departments to help resolve this issue. Director Ken Vraa responded to the residents attending the Commission meeting noting that Tom Colbert, Director of Public Works was not able to be on hand for this particular meeting nor was Tom Hedges, City Administrator. Mr. Vraa introduced John Barton from Dakota County Soils who was present to answer any questions the Commission or residents had regarding water quality. Mr. Vraa stated he was concerned about the comment regarding the storm sewer piping not being an issue. As was described in the past, if the water level is allowed to increase above the normal water level as it is being requested, thus becoming a higher normal water level, the storm sewer line will need to be raised to accommodate the water flow. Storm water backs up into the pipe when the water elevation is high allowing sediment to settle in the pipe which causes maintenance problems in the long run. Another issue Mr. Vraa brought up was that if the new normal water elevation were to become 863.3, then, in the event of a 100 year storm, like the one that occurred in 1987, the water level then bounces to 867.4. Bonestroo, osene, Anderlick Associates was asked to calculate the time frame for this pond to lower in the event of a 100 year storm. They responded that since Mooney Lake was the overflow of several other ponds, once the rain occurred, and the lift station pump started working, it would take approximately 60 days for the water level of Mooney Lake to reach it's proposed normal of 863.3 because of the lowering of the 3-4 ponds that would overflow into Mooney Lake. With this being the case, the water sitting between the 863.3 and 867.4 level would flood out a new generation of trees. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August , 1988 Meeting Page 7 Mr. Vraa stated that in looking at the alternative of cleaning up the pond and reinstalling the trail, the cleaning process could begin very soon. One of the City's contractors, Central Landscaping, visited the site with staff yesterday, however they were not very enthusiastic about the prospect of bringing heavy equipment down too near the shoreline for cleanup. It was suggested that some of the seasonal park staff could begin some of the preliminary pick up around the area and then the contractor would bring in a hydraulic backhoe to clean out stumps, debris, etc near the shoreline. The area to be cleaned out would be near the shoreline - approximately - feet wide. The equipment would gain access to the pond shoreline via the lift station and would proceed with their work in a westerly direction however the equipment may have a difficult time accessing the west side of Mooney Lake so some of the dead trees may be left in part of that area. Steve Sullivan added that some erosion has occurred behind some of the homes and while the workers are in that area they would like to repair that situation. Commission Member Michele Swanson questioned the "dredging" that was addressed in the position paper from the neighborhood. Ken Vraa clarified that the clean-up would include pulling stumps but would not include dredging out the bottom of the pond. After the residents expressed some concern about the work that would be done to the shoreline Steve Sullivan clarified that the work would not alter the shoreline or the lake bed. Member Swanson stated that her concern regarding water level was based on multiple rain days rather than the 100 year rain scenario. Mr. Vraa noted that the calculations for the flood levels were based on other variables also such as the amount the soil is saturated, frequency of rain, etc., in addition to the 100 year storm scenario. Member asin asked what the difference was in the normal level of the pond versus the current level. r. Vraa stated that the normal level is 859.4 but that currently is was approximately one foot below that level. Carla Ingalls was concerned about the emphasis on the "normal level of the lake" indicting that their information from the DNR expressly stated that unless the lake is maintained at high level and the weeds that have grown in the pond this summer are cut and harvested the lake will die. She also stated that to make a decision on the level of the lake based on a 100 year flood is foolish; especially since the projection for the next few years indicates continued drought conditions. Member Sames asked if there were trees on the pond side of the trail before the trail was installed to determine what the "normal" level of the lake was before the trail was installed. It was noted that the trees were there which would support the normal water level at 859.4, below the trail elevation. . Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August , 1988 Meeting Page 8 Bill Dove from Chatterton Ponds explained to the Commission that since he had lived in this area the path had not been usable. Residents who were there at the time the trail existed have indicated to r. Dove that that path was not used by the residents, rather by the kids accessing Mooney Lake. He suggested that rather than concentrating on placing the trail in the same location, why not place it across the front of the properties and have access near the pumping station. Once the trail is removed then the level of the lake can be determined. Member Sames stated that there appears to be two separate issues; one being the cleaning up of the lake and restoring the quality of the lake and the other, trail issue, is separate. If the quality of the lake can be restored than the path issue is dealt with at another level, but not as one and the same. The Commission's predecessors felt that this trail was a vital link at the time of the development and the City would loose an amenity if the trail was removed completely. Nancy Creighton from Chatterton Ponds stated that with the area around Mooney Lake continuing to grow there will continue to be more run-off into the lake, thus the lake needs to be deeper to dilute the pollutants running into it. Wayne Sames asked r. Barton of Dakota Soils if a greater volume in the lake would handle the problem. Mr. Barton stated that the added volume would not have a significant affect but that the quality of the water going into the pond would have the most affect. Another resident brought up the question of considering docks as had been discussed earlier. She noted that it appeared the only conversation was geared toward installing a trail and no other issue was being considered. She asked if this was not being considered any longer. Mr. Vraa noted that the cost factor of the dock(s) ($2500 each approximately) may be a deterrent. Steve Sullivan noted that even with the placement of dock(s), cleanup needed to be completed as well as the issue of trail needs into the park. The homeowner of Lot addressed the Commission as a resident of 7 years noting that lake front lots were $35,000 based on a lake view, not a view of the trail. This amount was significantly higher than lots that did not front Mooney Lake. During the time she's lived in that area there has been significant damage to the trees and expressed her concern about the erosion control measures mentioned earlier. She didn't want to see dirt pushed up against the trees and run the risk of destroying even more of them. Steve Sullivan explained that the erosion control he was referring to included an area about 15 feet long and 3 feet wide so there would be little chance for disturbance to the trees with this work. Bill Dove shared his assessment of the issues noting that the first was, is the path important; and second, is the path important at the expense of the ecology of the lake. He felt that the lake sems to become the sacrificial lamb so the trail can exist. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August , 1988 Meeting Page 9 Carla Ingalls again reiterated that by increasing the level of the lake a foot or two from where it exists won't make that great a difference. The DNR had indicated to them that the profuse growth on the lake bed was due to the low water level. She stated she lived in this area when the water was below the path and the lake was still lovely. In order to maintain the integrity of Mooney Lake the level of the lake must be significantly higher than it is now. John Barton stated that if the water level was raised 1- feet this may eliminate the growth on the lake bed somewhat but the level of the water will have very little influence on what the water quality of the lake is. That issue can be resolved by controlling the kind of run-off that enters Mooney Lake. Member Michele Swanson asked, for clarification, if the property where the trail exists is park property and if the trail is pulled out, who will maintain the land between homeowners and lake. Mr. Vraa noted that the trail was on park property. Wayne Sames expressed his concern regarding losing the parkland dedication that was originally planned for this development. Member JoAnne Alt stated that the residents' implication that the Commission didn't bother to do anything about this situation and didn't care were very untrue. She has been a member of the Commission for many years and is aware o the many different issues that come before the Commission regarding the good of the City. Ms. Alt noted that she, too, has a lake front lot but felt that homeowners need to be very aware of all the implications before purchasing a lot like this. Vice-Chair Masin thanked the residents for their candid responses and for sharing their opinions with the Commission. She asked the Commission members to share their opinions individually before the vote was taken. Dr. Silas Kung addressed the Commission noting that he was not happy with the way in which this situation has been handled. His assessment was that the question was not to keep the pathway, rather that the lake is dying because of human interference. He felt the environment should be kept in it's natural condition and that the City has the responsibility of keeping the lake in tact. Member Porter noted that his opinion was that the path should be behind the homes but had some concern that there had been no comments from the affected homeowners regarding running the trail in front of their property. He felt that the water level should not be raised, that the normal water level should remain at 859.4 and that he would like to see the path completed to Chatterton Ponds. The dock(s) and trail in front of the homes could also be a consideration based on the financial implication. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August , 1988 Meeting Page 10 Michele Swanson expressed her concern regarding the water quality of the lake and whether the fish life is going to be maintained. The response was that the fish would not survive over winter without an aeration system. Member Swanson supported cleaning up the area around the lake and putting in the trail. Member Sandy Masin supported cleaning up the pond and then installing the trail but questioned the time frame to do the work. Director Vraa responded that the clean-up work can be accomplished between 8/15/88 and 10/31/88. He also noted that if the trail is going in it needs to be done this fall. Sandy Masin continued that her recommendation would be to keep the water level and trail as planned and approved at the July Commission meeting. She also noted that the Commission was trying, and would continue to work on solutions that best serve the City. Gary Musselwhite addressed the Commission by stating that he felt there wasn't sufficient information for the Commission to make an informed decision at this point. He suggested that more facts be gathered before any decision be made on this issue. Bill Dove stated that an aerator in the pond would definitely improve the quality of the lake. As a riparian property owner he would be open to accepting an assessment for the power necessary to keep the aerator going in the pond. Parks Superintendent VonDeLinde addressed the aeration programs that have been used in the past in the City. He noted that there is a grant program available to help maintain fish life over the winter by using an aeration system. One has been installed in Scwanz Lake at a cost of approximately $15,000. Mooney Lake would not qualify for this grant because it is too small. John Barton suggested looking into a spray aeration system that would operate in the summer only since the DNR would not allow this system over the winter and it is much less expensive. After much discussion, JoAnne Alt moved, Michele Swanson seconded with all members voting in favor to clean up the lake edge, reinstall the trail, investigate raising the lowest level of the trail slightly, and have staff investigate an aeration system for Mooney Lake. Vice-Chair Masin thanked the residents for taking the time to share their concerns with the Commission. POLICY ON WATER MANAGEMENT At the August meeting, the Commission directed Staff to do a review of the water quality as a result of the Rahn Cliff 2nd Addition development. Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan began his investigation into this issue and has consulted with several people on this issue. John Barton from Dakota County Soils was present to review a portion of the Water Quality Management Plan which is in the process of being implemented in the City of Eagan. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August , 1988 Meeting Page 11 John Barton explained to the Commission that most water quality issues revolve around the amount of excess nutrients or fertilizer that is emptied into the ponds in the area. The specific problem comes from the amount of phosphorous that enters the water. As the phosphors level increases in the water there is an increase in chlorophyll a. When the phosphors level continues to increase the algae increases cutting out many other life forms that would have been found in the pond. As the percentage of the watershed areas increase so do the percentages of phosphorous found in ponds/lakes. The City of Eagan is taking a long hard look at trying to control the amount of phosphorous that enters the waterways, thus increasing the quality. At the present time all 350 water bodies in Eagan have been inventoried. They will be placed in several categories or classifications for identification purposes. The proposed classifications will be ready shortly after which a hearing will be held for residents to respond to the classification that has been issued. The long term benefit to this program will be that when a development is being proposed surrounding a water body, calculations will be completed taking into consideration the type of development, how many people will be there, etc. so that the developer will be able to be given the approximate size and shape the pond will need to be to accommodate their development. Currently Blackhawk Pond Watershed has pond requirements as does Leay Lake. Sandy asin asked i this type of system would have helped a situation similar to the Mooney Lake issue. Mr. Barton noted that if Mooney Lake had been designated as a recreational lake, for example, then the water quality calculations could have been done to determine what changes, if any, needed to be accomplished to accommodate the growth around this water body. Wayne Sames noted that there seems to be confusion between water clarity and water quality and stated that sometimes the water clarity can be poor whereas the quality can be very good. He told r. Barton that the Commission recommended the use of a nutrient trap which they felt would be beneficial in the Rahn Cliff situation. Steve Sullivan asked what happens to wetland when it's used as a nutrient trap. Mr. Barton responded by saying that the wetland area would be taken over by cattails and the diversity of other growth will disappear. Michele Swanson asked r. Barton if he was aware of a Purple Stripe problem in Eagan. He said the DNR has a Purple Stripe program to try to combat it, but it eventually takes over wetland and does not provide for wildlife habitat. Wayne Sames asked if the Commission could preview what would be happening at a public hearing before it occurs to which Mr. Barton responded he would provide the Commission with the information when it becomes available. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 4, 1988 Meeting Page 12 SUMMER PLAYGROUND REPORT Recreation Supervisor Paula Nowariak was present to update the Commission on the summer programs that have been conducted by the Parks and Recreation Department. She indicated that after the preliminary interviews last spring, 29 summer staff were hired with 18 of them returning from previous years. Bonnie Blood assisted Paula in preparing a handbook for the leaders to use in the various programs which included activities, crafts, songs, rhymes, emergency information, policies and procedures. The initial planning and preparation for the summer programs paid off with each program running smoothly and efficiently by a very supportive and close staff. Each park was supervised each day which helped with the continuity of the program in general. One of the events for the summer was the Tiny Tots 10 year birthday party. The original class and instructors were invited to join the surfie~r '88 Tiny Tots class. Everyone attending had a terrific time. Summer in the Parks encompassed 11 sites this year with over 800 children registered. At 4 parks there were over 100 children registered. Blue Cross/Blue Shield, for example, had 44 registered in 1987 and 96 in 1988. Walnut Hill had 20 registered in 1986, 67 in 1987 and 116 in 1988. Pilot Knob offered a morning session for the first time with 3 registered. All the field trips were very successful with 4 full buses transporting kids to each one. The playwagon locations continued to be a valuable addition to the Summer in the Parks program which culminated with a Summer Finale with over 200 kids participating for an afternoon of fun at Rahn Park. Paula narrated a slide presentation showing the programs in action including, Eaganettes, T-Ball, Tiny Tots birthday party and various activities that the children were able to participate in this summer. Paula thanked Bonnie Blood, Recreation Intern for her ever present helping hand in keeping the summer programs running so smoothly and successfully. Paula brought two issues to the Commission's attention that they may want to give some thought to in the near future. The first issue was the consideration of speeding up the schedule for installing sun shelters at some of the parks where summer programs run. After the intense heat this summer, there were some parksites that had no shade to offer comfort and this should be a consideration if the numbers of participants continues to increase at the rate they have been. The second issue was one of day care. In some cases, parents used Summer in the Parks program as their day-care and some children really did not want to be there, especially when the weather was so hot. Staff sees this as a growing problem and perhaps some policy decisions need to be made regarding how this should be handled. In some cases, Staff stayed after their defined hours because children were left at the park and the parent had not picked them up on time. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August , 1988 Meeting Page 1 PARK NAMES Ken Vraa explained to the Commission that they had reviewed this issue months ago but that official action had not been taken to date. The Commission discussed the proposed names and on a motion by JoAnne Alt, seconded by Wayne Sames with all members voting in favor the following park names were recommended for approval: 1. SLATER ES PARK - Park currently identified as Winkler/Jackson 2. KETTLE LAKE - Park currently identified as Vienna Woods Park 3. GEORGE OMA PARK - Park currently identified as Ohmann Park 4. SKYLINE PARK - Park currently identified as Blue Cross/Blue Shield 5. MUELLER FAR PRPark currently identified as Woodland School/Park 6. BRIDLE RIDGE PARK-1 acre park currently identified as ridleRidge WANDERING WALK PARK - Open space/green belt near Bridle Ridge Park HEIE PO PARK Director Vraa explained that Staff is currently working with the grading contractor for grading, trails, etc. The cost for doing the work will be $11,500 and can proceed with Commission approval. The money for this park improvement would come from the park bond fund. Steve Sullivan indicated that the bituminous work would tie into the contractor's schedule so that we can take advantage of the good price for these improvements. After further discussion, Bob Porter moved, Michele Swanson seconded, with all members voting in favor to accept Staff's recommendation to complete Heine Pond Park with funds being allocated from the park bond fund. BURR OAKS Director Vraa stated that the park is rough graded and topsoil is resting on the parking lot site. The tennis court will be added on with the Northview tennis court contract but the request is to have the parking lot, trail work done at this time. The work to be completed would cost $45,000 - $55,000 which, again would be allocated from the park bond fund upon Commission approval. Wayne Sames moved, JoAnne Alt seconded with all members voting in favor to proceed with the work at Burr Oaks Park as described with funds being allocated from the park bond fund. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 4, 1988 Meeting Page 1 SOUTH OAKS Ken Vraa explained to the Commission that the residents in this area have petitioned the City to install a storm sewer line. The line will go through South Oaks Park and in order to accommodate this disruption to the park, Ken and Steve Sullivan have been working to suggest the least amount of impact on the park. Steve Sullivan noted two alignments that were proposed. The most desired alignment shows the east/ west alignment because of shorter pipe links required and the least amount of disturbance to the park. The links are planned to go under a stand of trees and around the beach area. ,n'4v Masin asked how deep the pipe would go under the trees and would it ta4urb the roots. Mr. Sullivan noted that they were planning on going 20 feet deep and between the trees. This process is a bit more expensive but much less than running the storm sewer pipe as shown in Alternate A, south along the west side of the park and east across the open play soccer field to the easterly side of the park. Wayne Sames asked when the work would be completed and Mr. Vraa indicated that there would be a public hearing on August 16th to determine that. After further discussion, Wayne Sames moved, Bob Porter seconded with all members voting in favor to approve the alignment of Alternate B for the storm sewer line through South Oaks Park. With the lateness of the hour, JoAnne Alt moved, Michele Swanson seconded, with all members voting in favor to adjourn the Commission meeting, reconvene on Thursday, August 18th at 7:00 P.M., Council Chambers, Municipal Center. The meeting was adjourned at 11:15 P.M. DATE SECRETARY Subject to approval CONTINUATION OF REGULAR MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION EAGAN, MINNESOTA AUGUST 18, 1988 The continuation of the August 4, 1988 Commission meeting was called to order Thursday, August 18, 1988 at 7:00 P.M. by Secretary George Kubik. The following Commission Members were present: Michele Swanson, Wayne Sames, Sandy Masin, George Kubik, and JoAnne Alt. Commission Members not present included Dick Carroll and Bob Porter. Staff present included Director of Parks and Recreation, Ken Vraa; Landscape Architect/ Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan; Parks Superintendent, John VonDeLinde; Parks Secretary, Cherryl Mesko; and Parks Intern, Mel Bailey. AGENDA George Kubik asked to have Dorothy Peterson added onto the agenda under New Business. JoAnne Alt moved, Wayne Sames seconded with all members voting in favor to accept the agenda as amended. BLACKHAWK PARK Director of Parks and Recreation Vraa reminded the Commission that the issue of acquiring approximately 3 acres of land from Leo Murphy for access to Blackhawk Park has been underway for some time. Recently Mr. Murphy met with Mayor Vic Ellison, Council Member Ted Wachter, City Administrator Tom Hedges and Parks Director Ken Vraa to negotiate the acquisition of this parcel. Mr. Murphy was open to the City providing a credit for parks dedication with the taking of the approximate 3+ acres and consideration for the MnDot right-of- way turnback. The turnback area is between Deerwood and Conklin Road. If the City can reacquire this turnback area from MnDot, it will be open to considering turning it back then to Mr. Murphy. The question was raised regarding title problems, if any, in making this type of transfer. With the turnback process in it°s preliminary stages this question was not able to be answered, however, staff will keep the Commission up to date on any and all ramifications of this transfer. Mr. Vraa explained that the MnDot parcel is completely land locked. The developer to the west of this parcel has an excess amount of fill whereas the developer to the east has a shortage. MnDot has been approached to allow for a haul road to transport fill from the western development to the eastern development. MnDot has had this parcel appraised and set the value of the property at $20,000. They have noted that they will sell the parcel so that it can be used for a haul road if desired. Meritor Development has indicated their desire to share in the cost of acquiring this parcel so that the fill can be transported to and from their development. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 18, 1988 Meeting Page 2 George Kubik expressed his hesitation in spending money on property that would eventually be turned back to the City at no, or little, cost to the City. It was noted that these properties are typically turned back to the City for °$I and other good and valuable considerations" rather than being purchased outright. Meritor has expressed some concern about making improvements on Conklin (Murphy Parkway). Mr. Kubik noted that this might be used in negotiations to allow the MnDot property to be used for the hauling of fill from development to development feeling that options should be explored in satisfying the needs of the adjacent developments, the City and MnDot. Member Sames asked if a road would have to be installed to allow for the transportation of fill across the property. Director Vraa stated that a haul road would be required and that it could be cut at an elevation to enable its use as a future trail. This is a conceptual idea for consideration. JoAnne Alt questioned the need for a retaining wall for this road and Mr. Vraa responded by stating that it probably wouldn't be necessary during the time the road was being used. After much discussion, it was suggested that a good faith gesture with the developers negotiating with MnDot might be appropriate; plant materials along the roadway or working with them on the trail may be some of the considerations. In discussing the participation of the City in the cost of acquisition of the property on the east side of Blackhawk Lake, George Kubik moved that the Staff negotiate with Meritor to proceed with the acquisition of the MnDot property in a way that will be mutually advantageous but that these negotiations not include a monetary investment by the City in the land. The motion was seconded by JoAnne Alt with all members voting in favor. PARKS DEVELOPMENT Park Planner, Steve Sullivan updated the Commission on Contract 87-18, Thomas Lake Park. He noted that there have been no changes since the grading, masonry and columns have been completed. They are currently waiting for the arrival of the laminated beams which will be installed next. Beams have arrived for O'Leary shelter and payment for $32,000 for work completed to date has been processed Contract 88-7 for Ohmann, Bridle Ridge and Winkler Jackson is underway. The scrapers and graders arrived at Ohmann Park on Monday to rebalance the site. As background, Director Vraa explained that the developer of Fairway Hills, adjacent to Ohmann Park, went onto the park property while grading for their development and removed 7500 yards of dirt from park property. This resulted in having to redesign and rebalance the park. Several meetings with the developer resulted in the understanding that the developer will be accountable for all costs for rebalancing, and if the City is short of topsoil we will take what material is necessary from their stockpile. George Kubik noted that the developer should be responsible for all costs associated with Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 18, 1988 Meeting Page 3 the changes to this park development including the numerous staff hours involved. Steve Sullivan stated that the bulk grading has been moved back one week, however, we should be back on track in getting this park completed. The play structure at Rahn Park has been completed near the school and the upper playground area is under construction. The rerouting of Rahn Road (Cliff Lake Drive) has resulted in the plan for extended parking as the Commission requested. 60 parking stalls, which is the maximum number that can be accommodated in the planned parking area, will be placed adjacent to Rahn Park. Director Vraa stated that Parks Superintendent John VonDeLinde and Park Supervisor Jim MGGuffee have been working all summer on the drought problems. They have had watering trucks out every day and even with that effort they have not been able to decrease the impact of this summer's drought. The temperatures of the soil was so hot that in some cases, the roots were destroyed thus the restoration of some park areas is not possible. It is difficult at this time to estimate the total acres damaged and the dollars required to restore these park areas. It is estimated that the seed costs alone for approximately 75 acres would exceed $14,000? this figure does not include the 1987 grading contract. Director Vraa added that the areas will need to be re-disked and re-seeded depending on the magnitude of the damage. Walnut Hill, for example, has had considerable damage due to the drought and it is not clear at this point when the best time will be to begin the restoration. A letter has been sent to the City Administrator and the City Council addressing the damage to the park property as well as the costs to restore which is estimated at over $25,000. George Kubik asked if these costs would be covered by the contingency fund. Mr. Vraa suggested that it come from general funds with some of it coming from the park site fund. Member Kubik asked if it is known how many trees have been lost or damaged due to the drought. Mr. VonDeLinde stated that it is difficult to know the results at this time. Some of the trees, primarily evergreens, have already been removed and some of the trees are rebounding. It is just to early to know the full impact the drought had on the tree population. Ken Vraa stated that the department has checked with the Toro Company regarding the irrigation for Rahn Athletic fields. Toro has been provided with a site plan of the area and they have worked out a preliminary plan for irrigation. The timing for installation is not known as yet but the Commission is being asked for their approval to proceed. Mr. VonDeLinde stated that the quote submitted by Toro, based on materials only to irrigate 3 softball and 1 baseball field, was approximately $32,900. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 18, 1988 Meeting Page 4 George Kubik asked if this irrigation project would shut down the use of the existing fields or would it interfere in any way with programmed uses for the fields. John VonDeLinde responded by stating that the lateral lines would go in this fall since league play has been completed, or early spring of 1989 before the use of the fields is needed. Wayne Sames moved that staff proceed with the finalization of the plans to irrigate Rahn Athletic fields, 3 softball and 1 baseball, with the pricing of materials only to be within 10% of $32,900, and funds to be allocated from the park site fund for this purpose. The motion was seconded by Sandy Masin with all members voting in favor. COMMUNITY CENTER SITE PLAN Director Vraa reminded the Commission that Hastings and Chivetta's first priority in working with the community center site issue was to insure that the designated site near city hall was workable, a workable circulation plan could be accomplished and that the access to the community center would be conducive to the adjoining properties. Site Plan #3 as provided by Hastings and Chivetta shows an access at Pilot Knob with internal connections to city hall and the library. In looking at the placement of the footprint only, Hastings and Chivetta has worked at trying to show the relationship of the community center to city hall and the library with 4 access locations on Wescott. They also took into consideration the future expansion of city hall and the need for additional parking space. The site plans provided by the architects have shown parking to meet the 300 space minimum requirement the City asked for. Director Vraa noted some of the areas of concern with the plan that had been reviewed such as the current access to Pilot Knob as egress for the police department. The configuration of the parking lot allows for the possible use of this egress by the public. Perhaps by changing the traffic pattern in the parking lot south of city hall it would be sufficient enough to discourage it's use by the public. A second concern was the need to increase the parking lot as shown on the west side of the community center building. This lot would receive the most use and perhaps should be expanded to it's maximum capacity. The third issue is the need to tie the components of the site together by use of trails. There would be trails along Pilot Knob and Wescott plus internal triangular trail to connect the community center, city hall and library. The trail would also extend east to Denmark and along to Patrick Eagan Park. George Kubik asked if the parking area as shown south of the library building is on county or city property. Mr. Vraa responded by stating that it was on city property and that Tom Hedges was currently working with the Dakota County Administrator to see what their reaction would be regarding the shared road concept into the complex. These talks are only preliminary, however Dakota County appears to be very open to the idea at this time. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 18, 1988 Meeting Page 5 Another concern addressed was the issue of a "drop-off" area. Did that area need to be expanded to allow drop-off from both directions in front of the community center or could the plan work with the area as it stands. Some of the comments included the inclusion of sitting areas, waiting areas that would have picnic tables and/or benches, open green space and many trees. The green space area shown to the southeast of the existing city hall should perhaps be designed as a more "formal" green space area for users and employees to utilize. It was also noted that the plan should incorporate as much green space to allow for a pleasant usable and visual environment. Director Vraa asked the Commission members to mark their calendars for September 21, 22 and 23 which has been designated as the dates for the next Design Charette with Hastings and Chivetta. HAPPENINGS JoAnne Alt questioned the cost of the T-Shirts that the department will be selling. The cost for the shirts will be $10.00. BOND FUND Director Vraa brought the Commission up to date on the bond fund expenditures to date. He noted that the department was almost at the limit for expenditures. Wescott has some monies left, Bur Oaks Park is underway but it appears as though these should be closed out by the end of the year. BRIDLE RIDGE MEETING Parks Planner Steve Sullivan told the Commission that the neighbors surrounding the Bridle Ridge Park area have put out a survey regarding their wants and desires for their park. The residents will be bringing their requests to the Commission at it's September meeting. George Kubik stated that it was good to see such positive community involvement by the residents. BROCHURES Director Vraa mentioned to the Commission that the department is in the process of working on brochures for trails, tennis and shelter buildings. The plan is to have a brochure that can be added onto as programs and facilities expand. Wayne Sames asked if the department had looked at the option of using recycled paper and Mr. Vraa stated that it would be researched as an option. Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes of August 18, 1988 Meeting Page 6 REPLACEMENT OF DAVE HENNES Ken Vraa asked if any of the Commission members knew of someone interested in filling the vacancy as Commission member alternate they should respond to the City Administrator. An ad has been placed in the paper to solicit an individual to fill this position. George Kubik stated that for the continuity of the Commission it is important that the alternate know that his/her input and attendance is important at the meetings. HISTORICAL COMMITTEE A committee has been established to research the historical significance of many of Eagan`s buildings and sites such as the old town hall site, old oak tree, McCarthy house, etc. They have already looked at the McCarthy house and feel it has no historical value to the City. Staff has been asked to get an estimate for destroying this building. PARK REPRESENTATIVES An update of the park representative program shows there are 25 representatives to date. Some responsibility issues will need to be clarified at future meetings along with updates of specific parks. OTHER INFORMATION George Kubik informed the Commission Members that Dorothy Peterson was in the hospital recovering from surgery. He stated that the department and commission will miss her sorely but hoped she would take this time to get some much needed rest. Director Vraa noted that the surgery had gone well but that Dorothy would be out of the office for approximately 3 weeks. Parks Superintendent John VonDeLinde informed the Commission that a core grant had been approved allowing for a fishing pier to be built and installed in Fish Lake. The pier will be similar to the one currently in Lake Calhoun. With no further business to conduct, JoAnne Alt moved, Michele Swanson seconded with all members voting in favor to adjourn the meeting.

WAIVER - NATIONAL MINERALS CORP. - SP A waiver of plat in order to split Lot 10, Eaandale Center Industrial Park 3rd Addition, located along the south side of Lone Oak Road, east of Lunar Lane in the E 1/4 of Section 11. Recommendation: The proposal be subject to a cash parkland dedication and a foot wide sidewalk be placed on the south side of Lone Oak Road. MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARK PLANNER DATE: AUGUST 26, 1988 RE: WESCOTT SQUARE ADDITION The proposal requests the preliminary plat of seventy-one (71) townhomes on 9.83 acres currently zoned R-3. BACKGROUND The proposed preliminary plat is located within Neighborhood Park Service Area 14. The designated neighborhood park is Woodlands School/Park located 3/4 mile from the proposed Wescott Square Addition. The north and northeasterly portion of the Park Service District contains approximately sixty (60) acres of both developed and undeveloped multiple family zoned property. Wescott Hills Addition, a multi-family development exists to the west; and south of the proposed development is another thirty (30) acres of undeveloped R-4 property. The Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission reviewed this proposal at the August 4th meeting, and the Commission felt that the multi-family areas within Neighborhood Park Service Area #14 will be adequately served by Woodland School/Park. Also, Wescott Station Park and O'Leary Park provide supplementary support to this service area. Population projections were made based on existing development and zoning, and indicators show the park amenitites available within this and adjacent parks should be adequate to meet the projected population needs for major park facilities. The recommendation of the Commission is as follows: Wayne Sames moved that the Commission recommend that the developer provide, at minimum, an open space area within the development and the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission consider a park dedication credit based on what amenitites the developer proposed to include. The motion further stated that the developer should provide plans for proposed recreational opportunities within the development, and come before the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission at it's September 1st meeting to consider possible dedication credit. The motion was seconded by JoAnne Alt with all members voting in favor. 1 In summation, the Commission requested the developer to provide an open space area with recreational amenitites to service the development's residents, and that the proposed parks will meet the needs of the service population. FOR COMMISSION REVIEW The Commission will need to make recommendations in regards to the following issues: 1. Does the revised layout adequately provide open play space? 2. What recreational facilities are necessary to support the residents within the developments and should parkland dedication credit be provided. 3. What is the park dedication requirement for Wescott Square Addition? ISSUE #1 The developer has not provided staff with a revised layout which includes an outlot for open play space. The developer has assured staff that such a revision is currently underway and will be available at the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission meeting. According to my discussion with the developer, an outlot will be controlled by the Home Owners Association. This outlot will contain the recreational amenities for the development. ISSUE #2 The developer is uncertain of the population profile for their development. Based on past experience, they anticipate a large percentage of empty nesters and a smaller percentage of young families with children. The developer is uneasy in determining the recreational needs for the development prior to a sampling of purchased units. The developer therefore recommends the following: The developer shall place approximaely $10,000 to $15,000 in escrow earmarked for providing recreation facilities. When fifty (50) of the seventy-two (72) units have received building permits the Home Owners Association could utilize the $10,000 - $15,000 for any combination of the following recreation facilities: 1. Gazebo 4. Shuffleboard Courts 2. Volleyball Court 5. Picnic area 3. Playground The list of facilities was provided by the developer only as possible choices. The developer would be responsible for administrating and overseeing the implementation of the chosen facility. The Association would be responsible for bringing their request to the Commission for review and approval. This is an appropriate vehicle for providing recreational facilities, but Staff feels that providing parkland dedication credit is not appropriate. The Commission should decide what amount is adequate and what process should be used. 2 ISSUE #3 Wescott Square Addition is subject to a cash parkland dedication. A five foot wide concrete sidewalk should be placed along the south side of Yankee Doddle Road. FOR COMMISSION ACTION The Commission may consider the following recommendations for Wescott Square Addition: 1. To approve the plat with the outlot designated for open play space. OR Request the developer to revise the plat to include an outlot for open play space according to the Commission direction. 2. For the developer to place $10,000 to $15,000, as determined by Commission, in escrow designated for future recreation facilities to be determined by the Home Owner's Association and approved by the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission once fifty (50) building permits have been issued. 3. The developer be responsible for a cash parkland dedication and a 5` wide concrete sidewalk be placed along the south side of Yankee Doodle Road. SS/bls 3 -ter: MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION ALE RUNKLE, PLANNING DIRECTOR FROM: E V , DIRECTOR F PARKS RECREATION STEPHEN LLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARK PLANNER ATE: AUGUST 1, 1988 RE: ESCOT SQUARE ADDITION In response to the Advisory Planning Commission request at the July 26th meeting, the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the Wescott Square Addition and the adequacy of parks within the service area given this multiple family proposal. The Commission felt that the multi-family areas within Neighborhood Park Service Area 1 will be adequately served by Woodland School/Park. Also, Wescott Station Park and O'Leary Park provide supplementary support to this service area. Population projections were made based on existing development and zoning, and indicators show the park amenitites available within this and adjacent parks should be adequate to meet the projected population needs for major park facilities. The recommendation of the Commission is as follows: Wayne amen moved ~i:'ha the Commission recommend that the developer provide, at minimum,'an open space area within the development and the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission consider a park dedication credit based on what amenitites the developer proposed to include. The motion further stated that the developer should provide plans for proposed recreational opportunities within the development, and come before the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission at it's September 1st meeting to consider possible dedication credit.

KV/bl s 1 MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: STEVE SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER ATE: AUGUST , 1988 RE: OAK MEADOWS ADDITION - EIO DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL The proposal is for a Planned Development Amendment and Rezoning of limited business to R-1 single family for 30 lots on 21.5 acres. The parcel is a component of the Blackhawk Park Planned Development. The parcel is located west of Pilot Knob Road and north of Kingswood 2nd Addition. PARKLAND DEDICATION The parcel has previously fulfilled its parkland dedication requirements according to the Blackhawk Park Planned Development Agreement. FOR COMMISSION ACTION The memorandum is informational and no action is needed. MEMORANDUM TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR PARKS AND RECREATION L BAILEY, PARKS AND RECREATION INTERN E: SKATEBOARD REPORT History The Mayor of Eagan was recently approached by local youth skateboard enthusiasts. They viewed their frustrations that wherever they go in the City they are prevented from skateboarding. Ken Vraa was then contacted by the Mayor and the situation was discussed in desk--ail. Mr. Vraa and Steve Sullivan later met with the youths to allow het: to voice their concerns directly. The Chief of Police stated the City's view of not allowing skateboards in the streets and cul-de-sacs in Eagan. The police said they had received calls from people who were concerned about safety and the possibility of accidents; and of course, the problems a skateboard jump can cause if left in the street unnoticed by drivers. The Chief has indicated that skateboard jumps in the streets can not be allowed due to the accident potential they present. Mr. Vraa informed the skateboarders that the City trail systems are designed for pedestrians and bikers, however he saw no reason why skateboarders couldn't use them to move from one place to another. Also, good manners should be used when passing or coming upon other trail users; and under no circumstances are jumps to be allowed in Eagan's parks. Commission should take note that a group of skateboarders will be present at the September 1st Advisory Commission meeting. A presentation is expected by the group concerning their request. Issue Should the City of Eagan make additional provisions for skateboard use for area enthusiasts. isor o Skateboarding Skateboarding got started in the early 190's with kids in California and Florida who nailed together small boards to roll-r-skate wheels. The boards were very unstable and the fad faded afl-___ three years, along with the hula hoop. In 1976 the second wave hi. the introduction of new technology (polyurethane wheels and fi"erglas boards) which turned a fad into a frenzy. In 1978 there were 30 million skaters, $300 million annual sales and, of course, thousands of broken bones. By 1979 the sport itself was in pieces, damaged by skate park owners charging exorbant fees and cities banning skateboarding due to the liability issues involved. Even with no solutions to the above issues every ten years the wave seems to return. Today annual skateboard and accessory sales are again approaching $300 million. Models pose in Macy's catalog in skateboarding garb; MGM moguls are talking feature-length movies. The users can be grouped into two categories. "Anarchists" to tie left and Little leaguers to the right. These two user groups arr often perceived as young hooligans by many adults in our society. First there are the Defiant Ones, they are artistic, almost poetic in many cases, and live in the streets of such cities as San Francisco, Santa Monica, and Miami. They are turned on by the breeze blowing in their hair and the nihilistic, satanic songs of hard-core or speed rock groups like Megadeth and Slayer. Pictures of skulls, skeletons, bats I (what one called the creep show thing) abound; so do the color black, two-tone hair, shaved heads, tatoos, and T-shirts that read D:sz ?one or Brainwash Victim. Six-year-old San Francisco based ThrashE__ lezine (circulation 165,000) is their medium. Across the fence stands the National Skateboard Association (NSA). Its members are no less artistic or inclined to plaster their boards with skulls or skeletons, but the NSA strives for a clean-cut, competitive and organized image, an attitude reflected in stylish Transworld Magazine (three years old, circulation 165,000). Skateboarding Injuries Fractures, which are the most common type of skateboard related injury, occur in about one-third of all reported injury cases. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, fractures of the forearm and wrist (the most common type of skateboard fractures) occur when a skateboarder fails forward onto an outstretched hand. The ankle is the second most common type of fracture. While freedom of ankle movornent is essential for skateboarding, protection from ankle injury is generally not sought. Other common types of skateboarding injuries are conf-usions, abrasions, head and adominal injuries. Very few skateboard related injuries are sustained from collisions between skateboards and their riders. They are usually the result of a fall by an inexperienced rider traveling at speeds faster than the rider's ability to manipulate direction and acceleration. In fact, the average time of skateboard ownership before the occurrence of an injury- producing accident has been estimated to be between 1 and 1 weeks, and nearly one-fourth of the injured skateboarders who wound up in ho~zPitals got there through accidents on their first attempt at sN ,.'goal -ing. These facts tend to show that riders don't take enough tin:: t- H accomplished on an inherently unstable device. It is said that only during puberty, when motor skills required for skateboarding reach a peak, does sufficient skateboard control for safe operation become possible. 2 1., The CPSC in 1977 estimated that during the second peak period of skateboarding interest there were 370,000 skateboa"JeTs injured. Statistics show that riders between ages 10 and 14 ac;;~EtG for almost half the injuries. About 40% of the accidents sent victims to the hospital, often with broken arms or legs, and in a thirty month period between the years of 1977 and '7 skateboard accidents claimed at least 13 lives, mostly due to coliissions with automobiles. The toll lead the Hawaii chapter of the American Academy o pediatrics to exclaim: "In no other individual recreation sport has one seen such a high morbidity" Some of the reasons for the high number of injuries are as follows: The sport involves riding a board about 0 inches log and inches wide on wheels which can reach speeds of 50 mph or ii,io e on hard services. There are no brakes, and the rider steers only by thit shifting of weight. Skateboarding calls for coordination, balance, and quick reflexes, perhaps more than in any other sport. And there is no such thing as risk-free skateboarding, even in well-supervised skate parks. In fact, in skateboarding circles, the CPSC reports, one gains status by suffering injuries and pain. This is not to say that injuries can not be reduced. The- :an be if riders recognize hazards and precautions against them. -uuct failures, such as wheels coming off or boards splitting, c__ 1 -ess than 2% of last year's skateboard injuries. All the re_' were attributed to the inexperience of the riders and to the places where they were riding. Irregularities in the riding surface, such as potholes soft spots, twigs rocks and anything else that can cause a board to stop or change direction suddenly is the most common cause of skateboard accidents. Nearly one in three accidents were attributed to this hazard. Legal Cases Recently completed was a search of legal cases dealing with skateboard liability using West Law, which is a computerized search used to obtain legal cases dealing with a specific topic. From this search a number of cases were obtained dealing with skateboarding. The two most common occurrences dealt with skateboarders being struck by automobiles and injured from irregularities in sidewalks and pathways. The largest number of cases dealt with injuries that skateboardea> obtained from damaged sidewalks. The general consensus of the courts that a city does not have an obligation to keep it's idewl1k_ pathways safe for skateboard use. However, the courts state that th -e is a duty to maintain them in a reasonable safe condition for all foreseeable users. Therefore, a city could be held liable if the condition of the pedestrian walk-way were found to be dangerous to all persons passing, whether walking or skateboarding. 3 Another and more specific view held by the courts is that under no circumstance does a municipality owe a duty for sidewalk conditions when a skateboarder is injured. The courts opinion is that the sport of skateboarding is inherently dangerous. There reasoning is the extra degree of speed which can be obtained by such devices and the limited amount of control which can be exercised compared to normal sidewalk uses. Therefore, some courts view skateboarding as a unusual or extraordinary use and the city owes no duty to maintain sicle,"Jalks in perfect condition or in such a condition that would be safe for there use. The second largest number of cases dealing with skateboards dealt with moterists. There is a duty owed by moterists to be aware that riders of skateboarders are similar to any other children play activity. Thus, the courts require a driver to be acquainted with all of their surroundings, ie.(children playing in a driveway) and not just the area of roadway directly in front of them. Therefore, this opinion by th° courts makes a case to prevent skateboarders from using the streets `or safety reasons since the speed of the play activity give little time to react to a potentially dangerous and fatal situation. In regards to cases concerning park paths there were none found. All the cases dealt with injuries sustained by skateboarders related to sidewalk deformities in front o resident homes. This is a question of law which is unresolved and a municipality could possibly assume greater liability for skateboarders who were allowed to use parks, walk-ways and paths. This is of particular importance considering irregularities (soft spots, pot holes, twigs, and rocks) in or on the riding surface which accounts for nearly one-third of skateboard accidents. A case co €,J }e made that liability would increase in parks due to the fact that irregularities would more likely be found in parks than in residential areas. It is felt that in order to achieve the same amount of liability there would need to be continual observation and upkeep of these areas. This requirement would not be obtainable under current manpower and priority needs now facing the department. Other Communities somewhat promising note to skateboard enthusiasts is the resurgence of skateboard parks. The cities of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Ocean City, Maryland, are a few of the municipalities who presently operate this type of facility. The single issue restricting these type of facilities is liability. Statistics on injuries at the skate parks presently in operation show there is a high amount of major (fractures, joint dislocations, unconsciousness, and severe trauma) and minor (abrasions, minor lacerations, blister? , bruises, strains, and sprains) injuries. This fact is evidenced Ly t~ difficulty these facilities have in obtaining insurance. In fact, all -)f the public skateboard parks presently in operation are self-insured, and none of them were able to obtain coverage from a private insurance company. Considering the insurance companies reaction it is suprising there has yet to be one claim filed against these facilities. Factors which possibly contribute to this low claim rate are the skate parks 4 I requirement that all participants wear protective equipment (helmet, gloves, elbow and knee pads); a waiver has to be signed by the user and parent or guardian before a person is allowed to use the facility, and in one instance a user must pass a test and become licensed. Staff currently is not aware of any local communities with a skateboard facility. iscussin 16 rnatives It is f IL that it is risky for a municipality to become involved in expanding into a designated skate board park, even if it's at an entry level. Skateboarding interest might dissipate in a few years and be put into the category of one of the many fads that youths yet involved with but then loose interest. Staff also wonders whether t! i > activity isn't something private enterprise or residents in they w I back yards/drive ways shouldn't be providing. Private business i; successful in this type of operation because of their ability to raise capital and respond to changes in the environment quickly. On the other hand, public recreation generally invests time and money into activities that have a longer life-cycle. Staff's recommendation is this type of activity be reserved for commercial enterprises, or individual residents, to minimize the potential liability by restricting skateboard use in the park system, rather than develop a skateboard park, even though limited, as requested. One alternative that may warrant discussion by the commission is to have the City sponsor a "Skateboarding Event", similar to the many recreation programs that are offered during the summer. This event could be an activity where supervision, training, and safety are provided. Attached eadins Enclosed at the end of the packet are some articles which were published during the second resurgence of skateboarding (1976-78). No recent article have been written concerning the third wave of skateboarding (1987 - present). Hopefully, these articles will give the Commission some additional insight to issues not covered in this report. 5 MEMO T : AO PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FRO : STEPHEN LLV , LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT/PARKS PLANNER ATE: AUGUST 1, 1988 : BRIDLE RIDGE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING neighborhood meeting was set by Bridle Ridge Park residents at the Dakota County Library on August 9th, at 6:30. This meeting was to evaluate the results of a park survey which was taken by the neighborhood. The neighborhood requested that Parks & Recreation staff attend the meeting to answer any questions in regards to the survey. The survey is attached to this memorandum. Staff explained to the neighborhood group that the park was a result of the Eagan Hills Farm Planned Development. The negotiated parks dedication requirement was for a cash dedication of $100,000, a land acquisition of the existing fifteen (15) acre park and of the lineal greenways that lie throughout the neighborhood. This cash dedication would pay for only a portion of the parks development costs. The developer also agreed to provide the rough grading and seeding of the park. Parks development began in September. The City negotiated both fine grading and the installation of a higher quality seed mix on the park with Enebek Construction. It was also determined that a change order of a pending hardcourt contract would allow installation of the hardcourt within Bridle Ridge Park. The City also had an active fencing contract. Finley Brothers Enterprises agreed to install the backstop at a cost equivalent to this pending contract. Staff also sought pricing from the grading contractor for parking lot construction and trails; these prices were too high and never pursued. This year's development includes the grading of the parking lot and trails. This work will be part of the improvement contract 88-7. The neighborhood was made aware of the "typical" development process for perks construction. Staff explained that the Advisory Park & Recreation Commission and City Council in the fall evaluated the work priorities and set tasks for the coming year. Staff completes most of the design work in the winter; during the spring, summer and fall the work is then completed. Staff also explained that typically playgrounds were installed one year after the seeding of newly developed parks. The poor take of the seeding within Bridle Ridge Park as a result of drought will require re-seeding. This re-seeding will more than likely occur this fall. Therefore, the earliest that a playground could be installed within Bridle Ridge Park would be the fall of 1989. 1 . Staff's interpretation of playground priorities within the City of Eagan Parks System is that both Trapp Farm Park and Cedar Pond Park would be completed in the Spring and fall of 1989. This would leave O'Leary, Vienna and Bridle Ridge Park as the next parks to receive playground equipment. This year has provided for the installation of playground equipment within eight (8) parks. Therefore, it seems likely that these five (5) parks could be serviced with playgrounds this following year. The residents at the neighborhood meeting expressed other concerns and needs they would like to see addressed by the Commission. The first being the idea of the placement of a tennis court within Bridleridge Park. Of the ninety-one (91) households surveyed, thirty-seven (37) wanted to see tennis courts within this park. Staff explained that approximately ten to twelve tennis courts will be installed yet this year within Northview Park. The residents were also told that the current parks systems policy for tennis courts was to provide an equitable number of courts throughout the City and not within each neighborhood park. Residents at the meeting were concerned that the tennis courts would be over utilized by Eagan High School, therefore impeding public use. Staff's interpretation of the High School/City agreement for joint use of the tennis courts facility finds that the High School needs for the tennis courts allows significant time for public use. Practice times for the high school team would be from 2:30 P.M. to approximately 5.30 P.; the only times which would not allow for public use would be during the times of a tennis meet. The residents also explained that the large service area and the accompanying large population within this does not allow for convenient use of the tennis courts. The residents would prefer to walk to the tennis courts versus having to use their cars. Amongst the twenty residents attending the meeting, all felt that a fall of 1989 installation of the playground would serve the needs of the neighborhood. One resident showed an interest in having the playground designed by children in the neighborhood; another resident felt that this playground should be handicapped accessible. Staff explained that currently no parks within the City have a handicapped accessible playground. Staff explained that there is interest amongst the Commission in regards to providing such a facility. This facility would more than likely be included in a park concept which allows total use of the park by a handicapped person. All attending the meeting unanimously gave consensus to the need for a free- skating area to be installed this winter. Staff explained that the City did not schedule a warming house within the park; the residents replied that a warming house would not be necessary initially. They felt there was a need to provide winter recreation for the existing skaters within the neighborhood. The Bridle Ridge Park survey also indicate that of the ninety-one (91) homes surveyed, fifteen (15) would like to see a wading pool installed. Staff explained that the Parks Systems Plan Policy does not include wading pools within neighborhood parks. The residents felt that the City of Eagan provided no water recreation facilities, other than the beach at the Dakota County Park. They felt that a wading pool would be a good facility within the 2 a neighborhood based on the number of children. The Commission may want to review the policy for wading pools within the City. Additional concerns within the neighborhood group was whether the soccer fields would have programmed use, and if the playwagon would be scheduled for Bridleridge Park. Staff explained that until turf could be established within the park that no program activities would occur on the soccer field. Staff anticipated that eventually youth soccer would occur within the 'park. Bridle Ridge Park is under consideration as a play wagon site for 1989. In Summation, the neighborhood feels that playground installation in the Fall of 1989 would be acceptable. Approximately 40% of the ninety-one households polled would like to see tennis courts within the park; approximately 17% would like to see a wading pool installed within Bridleridge Park. Staff would also like to include that over 50% of those polled would be willing to volunteer time or labor for playground construction. At the meeting residents stated that it simply wasn't for playground construction only, that this would also include any development within the park.

The petitioners are against the scheduled lighted ballfields at Northview Park, and sited an increase in traffic loads in an area that currently suffers from heavy and uncontrolled traffic. The petition proposes that the area be changed to a family type environment with playgrounds, basketball courts, horseshoe courts, skating rink and volleyball. PARKS HISTORY Northview Athletic field was acquired in the mid-1970's and was first made available for play in 1980. The fifty (50) acre park essentially stood alone and was only accessible by the then gravel Parkview Road. In 1984, installation of overhead lighting on four of the five athletic fields was completed. In October of 1986, the City acquired an additional twelve (12) acres for Northview expansion, bringing the park acreage to some sixty-two (62) acres. Grading of the twelve acres to provide for three athletic fields, expanded parking area, future shelter building and expanded storm water retention area was constructed at a cost of approximately $125,000 during the summer of 1987. It was intended that the "expanded" Northview would have until 1989 to establish turf; and in 1989 a contract would be let for installation of backstops, outfield fencing, etc., in order that the fields might be ready for play in the spring of 1990, given the anticipated growth and the demand for these facilities. Lighting for the three fields was projected for some time in early 1990, dependent upon the need as determined by field space demands. Construction of a shelter building had not been determined, but probably would be needed by 1990 - 1991. 1 DISCUSSION Staff has prepared an attachment which illustrates all of the signatures to the petition. A majority of these homes, if not all, were constructed after the Advisory Commission had determined and sited the three athletic fields. Further, at the time the City acquired the twelve (12) acres for the park, a sign was installed showing the intended use of the twelve acres. This sign graphically depicts the three athletic fields and clearly notes that the fields will be lighted. Below, in chronological order, are the events surrounding the athletic fields and the development of the adjacent area. Clearly, individuals who have purchased homes within the last two and a half (2-112) years should have been fully cognizant of the fact that the twelve acres were to be used for athletic fields and that those fields would be lit at some time in the future. ORDER OF EVENTS In the fall, 1983, the Park Systems Plan identifies additional athletic field needs for a population of 40,000 and beyond. In 1984 and 1985, the Commission reviewed potential sites for athletic fields. o On February, 1984, preliminary plat approval for Lexington Square. o In August, 1984 the Lexington Square - 1st Addition final plat was recorded. o December, 1985 final plat approval on Lexington - 2nd Addition. o April, 1986, final plat approval - Lexington Square - 3rd Addition. o May 1, 1986, the Commission reviewed Ohmann Park and Northview Park concept plan as sites for athletic site expansion. o May 15, 1986 - special meeting held to review athletic sites by Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission. o June 5, 1986, Commission direction to acquire Northview and Ohmann sites for athletic fields. o July, 1986 Council approves purchase agreements for Northview site expansion. 2 o October, 1986, the City closes on twelve (12) acres at Northview Park. o December, 1986, Public hearing Northview Park Road Project. o December, 1986, final plat approval for Lexington Square - 4th Addition. o February, 1987, Approval ofpreliminary plat Lexington Parkview Addition. o April, 1987, agreement with Tri-Land for road right-of-way and road cost-sharing between Northview Park and Lexington Parkview Addition. o April, 1987 Lexington Square - 5th Addition - final plat approval. o May, 1987, bid opening for Contract 88-1 and Northview Park construction. o May, 1987, final plat Lexington Square - 6th Addition. o August, 1987, Lexington Square- 7th Addition o September, 1987, Final Plat approval - Lexington Parkview Addition. Regarding traffic loads on Northview Park Roads this is a community collector street and was designed and intended to carry heavy traffic, including the peak loads which may result from the athletic fields. Traffic along Northview Park Road is expected to increase with the completion of the Eagan High/Middle School, and the continuing growth and development of Stafford Place and Eagan Hills Farms. Staff can appreciate the residents requesting other park amenities, and the Master Plan does provide some of the amenities suggested, including playground equipment. Commission knows tennis courts will also be a part of the parks plan, as will picnic area and trailways. Siting for such things as a hardcourt for basketball, horseshoe pits, or volleyball is possible, and may be able to be provided in the future. 3 FOR COMMISSION ACTION To review the request by the partitioners to revert the twelve acres intended for expansion of athletic fields to other parks purposes. OR To reaffirm the City intent to develop the athletic fields as planned. KVjbls 4 6 4 off a I } + °a r a 'A, } I2~ J } i I m E ru a Ida } ~ ~ r - I ♦ ~ 4 a l .

Recently, staff provided the history committee with a tour of the McCarthy House to enable them to ascertain the historical value and significance of this structure. After reviewing the structure and discussing the value and significance of the house, the recommendation of the historical committee was that it served no historical significance. The Building Inspection Department did an analysis of the structure, and several major flaws concerning the structure were noted, i.e., roof, rotting wood members, etc. Due to the fact that the house lacks historical significance and is in poor condition, staff is pursuing cost estimates for demolition and removal of the house. Concurrence by the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission and a recommendation to the City Council would be appropriate. If for some reason, a member of the Advisory Commission feels otherwise and sees some value to the structure, it would be appropriate to review these issues at this time. If the Commission and Council are in concurrence, staff would like to see the structure removed prior to year's end to avoid problems with continued vandalism, rodent infestation, etc. FOR COMMISSION ACTION To determine if the McCarty House has any potential recreational lm d if not, recommend demolition and removal.

One approach would be to require all wetlands to meet certain water quality standards. While this would be appropriate for Recreational/Aesthetic wetlands, it may not be appropriate for the treatment basins whose main function is to trap nutrients and sediment. A better approach would be to set in-lake standards for Class I, II and III wetlands, and set stormwater treatment standards for the other basins. The pro-~cs_--d method of water quality designation is through the use: of a (TSI) Trophic State Index developed by Carlson (1977). The use of an index is suggested because it presents the water quality of a lake on a 0 to 100 scale. This allows for easy comparisons between water bodies and allows for the ranking of wetlands relative to their quality. Carlson (1977) uses three parameters (total phosphorus, chlorophyll a and Secchi disk depth) to categorize each water body. 3ecause the TSI can vary between parameters, Osgood (1982) developed a ;-:Y : t 1od t') calculate one TSI value which would be represe:itt-',tiv_, Q-1- the quality of lake. Osgood transformed the TSI for the So cchi disk to be more consistent with the TSI for cholorophyll a and phosphorus. AN EQUAL. OPPOTUNI :C 4 It is proposed, therefore, that water quality st 1-'a-'s be established using the Trophic State Index for th' disk depth, TSI (SD) . The TSI (SD) standard has advantages of: 1. Easy and economical data collection; 2. A relatively large existing data base; 3. It reflects both algae growth and suspended sediments. 4. It reflects the water quality as perceived by the public; 5. The TSI(SD) can be correlated with both total phop'norus and chlorophyll a; 6. Increases or decreases in the TSI(SD) can be predicted using existing lake models. A subjective characterization of Metropolitan Area Lakes and the corresponding TSI's and Secchi disk depths are sho,"j:; below (Osgood, 1985): ,..'n Water Quality TSI (SD ) SD De Exceptional 30's 26 - 13 Very Good 40's 13 - 7 Good 50's 7 - 3.3 Acceptable 60's 3.3 - 1.6 Poor 7's 1.6 - .8 Very Poor 80's .8 - 0.4 Severe limitations 90's 0.4 - .2 Utilizing the TSI(SD), the water quality standards would be as follows: Class I - Direct Contact Recreational Use Water Body. Standards - TSI(SD): Summer average not to exceed 50. Fecal Coliform organisms: Not to exceed 200 organisms per 100 milliliters. - Dissolved Oxygen: Not less than 7 ;gig/L. Class II - Indirect Contact Recreational Use Waterbody. Standards - TSI(SD): Summer average not to exceed 70. - Dissolved Oxygen: Not less than 5 mg/L. Class III - Wildlife Habitat. Standards - TSI (SD) : Summer average not to € m ct In addition, all standards determined for a Class A waterbody by Chapter 7050 of the MPCA rules shall apply. 4 When applying the standard to existin( quay .ati, it was determined that two of three Cl., s I wetl TSI (SD) under 50; six of eight Class II wetlands h ~~_i TSI(SD) under 70; and both Class III wetlands has a TSI(SD) under 80 (Table 1). It appears, therefore, that the TSI(SD) standard is applicable to Fagan wetlands. Standards for treatment basins are based on design criteria developed by Walker (1987) and the Soil Conservati_► Service. Nutrient and sec's rt*. removal efficier s proposed are similar to th,:-;c reported by Ferrai. ildick-Smith (1982), Wile, ?almateer and Miller (1981), Harper (1986) and Barten (1982), for similar basins. The use of nutrient and sediment removal rate standards for the treatment basins has the following advantages: 1. Compliance with the standards can be determined through the use of existing models; 2. Monitoring costs will be reduced; 3. The time frame for determining compliance will be reduced; 4. The effect of compliance or non-compliance oii receiving water quality can be predicted a>imi existing models. Utilizing the SCS and Walker (1987) criteria, the water quality standards would be as follows: Class I - Nutrient Trap Standards: Suspended solids removal of 85-95%. Total phophorus removal of 60-75% TKN removal of 20-40%. Class II - Sediment Basin Standards: Suspended solids removal of 60-70x. Total Phosphorus removal of 40-50%. TKNI removal of 10-25%. Class III - Stormwater Storage No standards are proposed for these basins. It should be noted that these standards do not address in- pond water quality for these basins. This may be a problem if algae blooms occur on ponds in developed residential areas. An alternative to removal standards would be to sufficient removal of pollutants so that post-7 ,v-~1-or t nutrient loading to a recreational waterbody dog ,3 n( eo i pre-development levels.

A NYSCA football clinic was conducted on August 17 and the 24th. Seventeen (17) coaches from EAA/BAC and six (6) coaches from RAAA were certified. 2. A NYSCA soccer clinic was conducted on August 8th and August 10th. Twenty-six (26) soccer coaches from BAC and EAA were certified. A basketball clinic is next on the agenda. 3. A sports camp was offered for the first time this summer. It was held during the week of August 8th from 9:30 to Noon with thirty (30) boys and girls participating. It was enthusiastically received with many positive comments made to the staff by parents. 4. Domino's Team Tennis ended on August 31st. A pizza party and awards presentation followed the matches. 5. Fall program publicity is written and ready to go to print. Many new and exciting programs are included in the fall offerings. The Spook Trail, Halloween Party for Tots, Volleyball, Star Gazing and a youth trip to tour the Metrodome to name just a few. 6. A new program for two year olds and their parents entitled "Me Two"! This will be offered for the first time. The program is in response to requests from residents for a class for this age group. The class will include working on motor skill development, balance and coordination through action songs, finger plays and much more! 7. "Imagine That!" is another new class being offered. It is a revision of a former class called Music & More. This class will emphasize using the children's imagination through stories, songs and arts and crafts. Various themes such as Mother Goose, Dinosaurs, etc., will be used to create a world of fantasy for each child. Registration will be on September 17, 1988, from 10:00 to Noon. 8. Fall softball league is well underway. Mel Bailey is directing a total of thirty-two (32) teams; twenty-four (24) men's, six (6) Co-Rec, and four (4) women's. This is a 100% increase in the number of teams participating over last year's league of sixteen. 9. Central Landscaping has agreed to re-seed all parks in the 1987 construction contract. The City will pay for seed costs and Central Landscaping will provide all labor and equipment. Work is expected to begin after Labor Day. 10. Beth Monday will be a student intern with the department during the fall quarter. Beth attends the University of Minnesota. She will start September 19th and be with the department until December 9th. 1 Department Happenings Page Two 11. Construction and Contract Management are at a very fast pace at present with Central Landscaping moving rapidly with their contract. 12. Staff will have a slide presentation for City employees to review photographs taken of various Community Centers as an informational update. 13. The City Attorney has been directed to negotiate the acquisition of the three plus (3+) acres on Lexington Avenue from Mrs. McCarthy. The Public Works Division requires a portion of the site for road right-of- way and utilities. Acquisition can be financed by the Park Site Fund and in part by the Engineering Department/County. 14. Maintenance staff began modifications to the Goat Hill irrigation system. Under this plan new sprinkler heads will be added to the corridor area between the senior and junior league fields and along the batting cage and bull pen areas. This will be a fairly low cost project taking advantage of existing lines and valves. 15. Construction was completed on new playstructures at Rahn School and Rahn Park. Staff will next begin installation of the Meadowlands playstructure. 16. The new hockey rink at Pilot Knob Park was finished in early August. A Boy Scout, Kevin Allbee, was retained under an Eagle Scout project for the painting and staining of this new rink. Fencing and lighting will be contracted out in the near future. 17. Staff constructed three new sets of mini-soccer goals for the upcoming youth soccer program. The number of scheduled sites this fall will be increasing from seven to ten. The process of final grading and shaping of infields at several neighborhood parks was begun in August. These sites include newly developed Sky Hill (formerly Blue Cross/Blue Shield), Meadowlands, and Quarry Parks. 18. Maintenance staff continued the installation of waste container pads and decorative park benches. Sites completed included Carnelian, O'Leary, Meadowlands, and Rahn Park. 19. The Twin Cities Tree Trust organization completed their annual work program with the City on August 19th. Projects completed by the crew included installation of a 400' perimeter around the Woodlands Elementary playstructure and the construction of a timber staircase and retainer under the tube slide adjacent to the Lexington Park playstructure. 20. The Summer Youth Restitution Program installed a canoe landing pad at Lakeside park and completed perimeter and tiewall installation at the Rahn Elementary School playstructure and Rahn Park playstructure. Department Happenings Page Three 21. Preparations were made for the fall soccer league beginning in late August. This year's bantam soccer sites increased from seven to ten and will be played at the following sites: Woodhaven (2), Cedar School, Rahn Park, Sky Hill Park, Meadowlands, Ridgecliff Park (2), South Oaks Park, and Oak Chase Park. Junior bantams will be continuing at Rahn, Quarry, Northview and Walnut Hill Parks as in the past. 22. With the advent of cooler weather in late August, staff began work on the fall turf maintenance program. One major addition to the already long list of maintenance projects is the overseeding of park areas due to drough damage. A total of 75 acres will require re-seeding at a cost of approximately $15,000. 23. The regular ball season at Northview Park ended on a good note with the league playoffs on August 6th and 7th. The Co-R:ec Adult S-ftbali leagues began on August 15th and will continue through Sepu r. Park Attendants also finished out their seasons at Goat Hill and Rahn Park whose regular scheduled seasons ended on August 14th and the 4th respectively. 24. Mowing routes were reinstated following the rain that began in early August. Three full routes, including a gangmower, are now out mowing the parks on a daily basis and being most challenged by the accelerated growth and presence of weeds resulting from the drought and desiccation of turf. 25. Forestry staff have nearly completed the clean up of dead wood and weeds along the shoreline of Mooney Lake within Berry Ridge Park. This work follows the Department and Commission's plan to remove stumps along the shoreline and regrade/replace the bituminous trail through this lakeside corridor. 26. Watering of trees continued through early August culminating a six week period of tree irrigation in City parks. 27. Seasonal maintenance staff finished the restaining of all benches, and tables in the Eagan park system. 1313 E t H hway 13, Burnsville, Minnesota 55337 , 00 August 3, 1988 Mr. Ken Vraa, Director Eagan Parks and Recreation 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 Dear Ken: As you may be aware, Burnsville has been selected to host the 1989 Summer Star of the North State Games. We are very excited about that prospect! Current plans for the 1989 Games call for participation in 35 to 40 different sports. This should draw from 12,000 to 15,000 athletes and up to two times that many fans. It appears the impact of the State Games will be felt by all our neighboring communities. As such, I would like to invite you as well as any staff you feel appropriate, to an informational breakfast concerning the 1989 Summer Games. Our organizing commit- tee will be present to update you on the current plans and visit with you on ways your City can share in the events. The breakfast meeting is scheduled for: Wednesday, August 17 Holiday Inn - Burnsville (35E and County Road 42) 7:00 am I would appreciate a call by August 12 to inform me as to how many people will be attending from your Department. Please contact Deb at 431-7575 to confirm your attendance. I look forward to seeing you on the 17th! Sincerely, kandy`vppelt, Director Parks and Recreation cc Kirk Detlefsen dkc R.A. sooxM:a;;,BA 1376 JGR.DY EAGAN, MN MEMORANDUM MO TO: TOM COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS FROM: E , DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: AUGUST 2, 1988 E: APPRECIATION Tom, a big "thank-you" to you for seeing to it that all of the siltation that had gone into Thomas Lake along Pilot Knob Road was cleaned up. The aesthetics of the Lake/Park has improved immensely. While I'm at it, my additional appreciation for your efforts on behalf of the department in expediting the Blackhawk Park - Dot acquisition with Meritor development; and also your going to bat for us with the County in having the curb cut installed at Pilot Knob for the future Community Center.

A streets bay--d on an accumulation of ideas from local skateboard- The resulting design called for a ramp which dropped from 6.5 feet to one foot in approximately 35 feet, with a five-foot wall at the end of the incline which could be ridden around as the wall tapered down to six inches in height. An experienced skater could come off this wall at ,zfV w..._ anytime to use the other slopes or the fllat,, n area to end his ride. Ocean City is a resort for 1= VC! l 1 - 3 amount of public land. The rec; iE twW ti only one small, half-acre lot avail:~i,Ie for the proTKx, . _ facility. The basic design of the ramp was adjusted to the _ - ^ lot size in such a way that another ramp could be built in - r ° the future if necessary. A One-Month Project The ramp was conceived and built in a period of one month. The Ocean City Public Works ~;~.~.~r+f~nt built the ramp and a asphaltic concrete c,~ t ctcr paved it. Limited space would not allow for a aigltt ramp, `.7 ..r therefore, the slope wraps its way into a bn}4I-like shell. rt~ Asphaltic concrete was used because of its relatively low cost, its unique property of elasticity, and ease with which a crack or hole may be repaired. Skateboarders were on the ramp before the asphalt was completely cool, which helped to miAe the surf i e p smooth and compact. Although n-ariv ox rience i skaters used this small facility, crowde.~ m_3dc it necessary to build another larger facility. This, in tu,r would allow beginners and younger a chance to w a use the smaller ramp. The second facility was designed to provide the ex- perienced skateboarder with a daring but safe ride. Since the available space on the original lot was only .3 acres, there was not enough room to pile clay for the steep slope that would be required. Therefore, Die engineering, 71 department recommended that a subttrttre be built a= from wood pilings and wood shc.<kht. t- ,rich v,c-u=~ Far Left: A skateboarder nianet,awn; the - asphalt.

HILLTOP PLAZA ADDITION A one-way traffic flow to the north on the east side of t.l building in the car wash area has been proposed. This system works well since the public access into the convenience store is on the northwest corner of the building. The trash is being contained in the building in the southeast corner. The car wash facility will be similar to the one at the Town Centre automotive center serving only one car at a time with blow-drying capabilities. The proposed pylon sign at the southwest property line contains 88 sq. ft. of signage area per side and has a 28' maximum height. At the City's request, a landscape plan has been prepared for the entire length of the Pilot Knob Road property line instead of just the subject area. This plan reflects the standards that have been established since the time of the strip enter construction.

That area containing 4. ores will be developed immediately for a General Electric office/warehouse facility. Parcel 'B' (3.3 acres) to the north will be marketed as a buildable site. SITE PLAAN The lots are separated from others to the west by a 25 4 railroad, spur easement. Georgia Pacific Lumber Company is located along the south side of Eagan Industrial Road. The site is relatively flat grassland perched above Hwy. 35-E ani it is doubtful much of the buildings will be visable from that area. The 7,000 square ft. office will be cons :Qc od of brick with s_a dryvit (stucco like) fascia. The 30,6? square ft. 4 two story war°hou will be 7-3int ed p mt.ast ,,_'oncr_=. p;ine his.. Additional wa 'hou Kp nsic area (14,742 square _ ) has b`ae,'} provided to the nort.. The tot 1 lo coverage, includl ig the expansion area, is 29% in a 35% district. The office area alone requires 37 fen foot wide parking stalls and 63 have been providea - allowing 26 for the warehouse area. Staff expects this amount to be more than adequate. All building and parking setbacks meet Code requirements. The yard storage area containing 50 square ft on the t i >f tilt:: building fenced ant requires that this ar, munu paved with urn)-L"q . arzs have not been finalized, ,!;owf_,trer thr,.5j rEE:.Ist Detailed pylon pt stay at or under the 123 square ft. per side. OPUS will not allow any signs above 25', in the industrial park on I they develop. A Landscape Plan was submitted that works well conceptually. it is consistent with: other Opus developed projects. If the grading plan can be modified slightly, it would be desirable to raise the berm near the west properly line and south of the entrance along West Service Road. This, however,is not a major concern. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The development proposes cut and fill areas of approximately 10'+/- in the proposed ponding area to approximately 4'+/- for berming along Eagan Industrial Road and West Service Road, respectively. The proposed development is located in drainage Basin , Subdistrict H-10, as designated in the Eagan Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. In an effort to improve the drainage and restrict the runoff from this site, the development is proposing a 0.25 acre feet of storage ponding area located in the southwesterly corner of the development. This ponding area rer-nives approximately 1. acres of direct runoff from the roof and parking area. It is recommended that the outlet pipe for the ponding area be restricted to 0.5 cubic feet per second (cfs) outflow. It is further recommended that the remaining 3.2 acres northerly of this site also provide ponding of its water restricting its outflow to approximately 4 cfs when it develops. The development is proposing a drainage swale along the northerly side of the proposed warehouse facility. The development may want to assess the feasibility of picking up that drainage along the northerly side of the warehouse and conveying it through the proposed ponding area on the southwesterly corner. The proposed future warehouse addition would prohibit this proposed drainage swale from functioning. The proposed construction should pose no serious erosion control problems. The development will be required to submit appropriate erosion control measures which will prohibit sediment transport offsite during the building construction phases. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient depth and capacity and water main service of sufficient capacity and pressure are readily available in Eagan Industrial Road and West - Service Road. ST ET/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Public street access is readily available to this site and is proposed from the southerly adjacent Eagan Industrial Road and the easterly adjacent West Service Road. The proposed entrance width from public right-of-- way shall be at least 30' wide. The development will also be responsible for constructing concrete valley gutters through the proposed intersections with the public street. EASEMENTS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY/PERMITS: Sufficient right-of-way for Eagan Industrial Road and West Service Road were dedicated with previous platting processes. The development will be responsible for providing the appropriate easement for the proposed public storm sewer along the westerly side of the development. All regulatory agency permits shall be acquired within the appropriate time frame as required by the affected agency. tl ro #iSr7L'JvNa TS: l-+.. I..f r- C 1. 1Sr 0C X,. M 3 iT. E'.

Oaks are founcl primarily north of the black l i". except L or those show,- individually. The applicant intends tom iLy the grading plan or provide tree wells or retaining walls wherever possible. This plat was reviewed by the Advisory Part an Recreation Commission at its August 4 meeting and while no land dedication is requested, additional open space for some type of play equipment (tot .?.cat) was recommended. it will aqain review this plat at its I Ilitrto September meeting, it may be ary to remove building site since this proposal plats indiv! v A lots instead of an open, common space,.outlot. There was a question regarding the ordinance requizament calling for 6,000 sq. ft. per lot in R-3 districts. Eve ?though each individual lot does not meet !hat requirement, the overall density of the plat reflects tho figure. Tt could be platted in a condominium fa>'tori where <:.1' ezau.pac-3 is designated', as an outlot. The individual .lot;. are ~ ~irz since +tey an easily be sold for separate ownership.

AUGUST 15, 1. RE WSCOT SQUARE ADDITION In response to the Advisory Planning Co i sicn rcmuest at the July 26th mne ..ng, the Adv 'ory Parks and Recreation LO Nni s on r o i evied the Wescott s(_.('. l,t Square Addition and the adequacy of ;arks within the service area given his multiple family proposal. The Commission felt that the multi-family areas within Neighborhood Park Service Area 14 will be adequately served by Woodland School,fpar o °l Wescott Station Park and O'Leary Park provide supplementary support to this service area. Population projections were made based on existing development and zoning, and indicators show the park amenititns available within his and adjacent parks should be adequate to =,,<eL the projected population needs for, major park facilities. The recommendation of the Commission is as follows: Wayne Sames moved ",that the Commission recommend that the developer provide, at minimum, 'fan open space area within the development and the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission considers a park dedication, credit based on what amenitites the developer° proposed t include. The motion further stated that the developer should provide plans for proposed recreational opportunities within the d€ ell opment, and coals before the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission at it's September 1st meeting to consider possible dedication credit. The motion was seconded by JoAnne Alt with all members voting in favor. In summation, th! Commissions requested the dfvt o per to p vide an open space area with rr-- atinnal ameni titer to service the development's residents, and that the prc,'__-. narks will meet the seeds o the service population. KVJbls CITY OF E "AN SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT, VARIANCE SCOT SQUARE ADDITION APPLICANT: HORIZON HOMES LOCATION: 1/4 O SECTION 1 EXISTING ZONING: R-3 (TOWNHOUSE) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 26, 1988 DA O REPORT: JULY 18, 1988 REPORTED : PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION SUMMARY application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary Plat for the Wescott Square Addition consisting of seventy-one owner- occupied townhouses on 9.83 previously-zoned R-3 acres at the southwest intersection of Yankee Doodle and Elrene Roads. This proposal is in conformance with the City's most recent Land Use Plan. EXISTING CONDITIONS The area is heavily wooded near the center of the plat with some mature oaks and other hardwood species. Along the west and sout-A property lines there is scrub deciduous material that will be removed with either site grading or road improvements. Tb~ remaining portion of the site has been cultivated and the existing farmhouse is not being included in the plat. That exception contains approximately 2.3 acres and if it ever develops in a similar way, access can be provided directly from Elrene Road or a private drive from the proposed townhouses. The site is surrounded by developed R-3 and -4 Wescott Hills Additions to the west, undeveloped agricultural and R-4 lan,'I tc) the south, and the Gopher . Eagan planned development to th( rz<:)r-th and east. The planned development contains roadside business zoning on the southeast corner of Elrene Road and Yankee Doodle Road and light industrial zoning on the north side of Yankee Doodle Road. Both Elrene Road and Mike Collins Drive have been blacktopped but Elrene is only a two-lane rural road without curb and guttt Kost Road has dedicated right-of-way only; the gr.-'. 'v el Ty will have to be improved to full City standard; 4i;:h t1-1 proposal. A private loop road connecting Kost Road and Mike Collins Drive serves these seventy-one units. There is no direct access to a living unit from any of the public streets. The developer is SCO SQUARE ADDITION proposing a cluster type of development, providing more individual unit privacy than a row house effect. The grading plan and proposed retaining wall demonstrate the applicant's attempt to save some of the tree stand near the center of the site. All building and parking setbacks meet code requirements and the landscape plan meets all policy performance standards. The net density of the project is 7.2 units per acre. Code requires a 6,000 sq. ft. minimum lot area for each unit. Fifty- five are under this requirement but the average for the entire project is 6,049 sq. ft. and all open space will be maintained by a homeowners association. The individual lot platting now will eliminate the potential need to replat to this form in the future. The units are proposed to be constructed with a rough-sawn cedar exterior with decorative brick along the garage area and lower portion of the rear side of the building. The building coverage is 19% in a 20s-maximum district and the impervious coverage is 42%. Some of the double garages do not meet the code size requirement of a 20' width and 22' length. Attached with this report are the code amendments for residential development passed at the July 5, 1988 City Council meeting. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The preliminary elaading plan submitted as a part of this application proposes t_ ind fill areas ranging from 15' in the center portion of site to approximately 9' in the southwest corner of this site respectively. The proposed grading plan attempts to preserve two small areas of existing vegetation in the central portions of proposed Block 4 and Block 3. The development is required to revise the proposed grading plan to eliminate the drainage swale along the southerly portion of Block 3. The elimination of the proposed swale along the southerly portion of Block 3 will result in a revision to the proposed house pad elevations adjacent to the drainage Swale. An 11' high retaining wall is proposed along the southerly edge of the detention pond located in the northwesterly corner of the development. The development will be required to submit engineering documentation which supports the proposed retaining wall design for staff review and approval. The existing storm sewer system in Mike Collins Drive is ca,,-,.ble of handling approximately 50% to 70% of the runoff generat-12" bYr the proposed drainage area tributary to said existing store 'er system. The development is proposing a ponding area in the northwesterly corner of the development adequately sized to reduce the potential storm water runoff from the site by approximately 30%. The development is proposing to construct a portion of the ponding area on County highway right-of-way. The development is required to maintain the proposed 0.57 acre feet of storage volume entirely on the proposed Wescott Square development property. Ponding of site generated storm water runoff is also proposed in the southeasterly cornier of the development. There is no outlet readily available to this proposed ponding area. The storm sewer system to the south of the proposed Wescott Square development is not developed. Council authorization of the appropriate public improvement to develop the down stream storm sewer system to Pond JP-33 is required prior to final plat approval. Pond J7-33 L3 a designated ponding area in the City of Eagan's Compre:eusive Storm Sewer plan. Pond JP--33 is located approximately 2,000' south of the most southerly corner of the proposed Wescott Square development. The ultimate development of the southeasterly proposed ponding area is subject to revision dependent upon the final profile of Kost Road. The final details and requirements for the inat<i~rnal storm sewer system are subject to further review and re ,l _1 base,,] on the final plat documentation and ultimate y as or the adjacent roadways. The Development will be required to provide storm sewer service to the northeasterly adjacent Parcel #013-01. This parcel drains westerly to the Wescott Square development. The stub should be designed to handle a five year peak flow of approximately 4cfs. No preliminary erosion and sediment control plan was submitted for staff review. A detailed erosion and sediment control plan is required for staff review and approval prior to issuance of a grading permit or final plat approval. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient depth and capacity to serve the site is readily available along Mike Collins Drive and Kost Road. The development will be required to provide an 8" sanitary sewer service stub to the northeasterly adjacent property and individual sanitary sewer services to each unit. Water main service of sufficient capacity and pressure is readily available along all four sides of the proposed development. The proposed internal water main system is subject to further review for fire demand requirements. The internal water main system as proposed does not adequately service all units. The development is required to provide an individual water service to each unit. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: The development is proposing to take public street access from five locations along Mike Collins Drive and Kost Road. No direct access to Elrene Road is proposed. The development is proposing to provide street access to these centrally located units through the use of an internal private street system. The development is providing access to the northeasterly adjacent property. Mike Collins Drive is an existing 34' wide urban section roadway. Kost Road is an existing gravel surface roadway and is required to be upgraded to a 34' wide urban section with the appropriate storm sewer system. The easterly adjacent Elrene Road is an existing 24' wide bituminous rural section roadway. The upgrade of Elrene Road to a 44' to 48' urban section roadway will be required with this development. Council authorization of a public improvement to upgrade Kost Road and Elrene Road to the appropriate urban section are required prior to final plat approval. EASEMENTS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY/PERMITS: Easements will be required for all storm sewer lines in ponding areas, sanitary sewer lines and water mains. The depths and number of parallel lines will determine the required easement widths. Adequate right-of-way widths for Mike Collins Drive, Kost Road, and Elrene Road have been provided with the platting of the Wescott Hills Addition. The Dakota County Plat Commission is requiring a 60' half right-of-way and dedication of restricted access along the entire length of frontage of County State Aid Highway #28 (Yankee Doodle Road). All regulatory agency permits shall be acquired within the appropriate time frame as required by the affected agency. ASSESSMENTS: A search of available City information reveals no pen zng assessments of record. In accordance with special a:s n.: nt policies in effect at this time, the following assessment, are proposed as a condition of final plat approval: PROJ DESCRIPTION RATE QUANTITY AMOUNT 58 Lateral benefit trunk water main $21.60/ff 854.54 $18,458 58 Lateral benefit trunk sanitary sewer $15.85/ff 1,321.83 $20,951 Future Trailway $13.00/ff 854.54 $11,109 Future Yankee Doodle Road Upgrade $90.20/ff 486.44 $43,877 Future Elrene Road Upgrade $41.00/ff 293.10 $12,017 120 Lateral benefit trunk storm sewer $26.00/ff 574.30 $14,932 TOT PROPOSED ASSESSMENT $121.344 All final assessment obligations will be calculated b on the quantities and dimensions of the final plat and actiutir«.:. with the rates in effect at the time of the final plat appro- a l.

Trees in the low lying area wilt: be eft intact for _ u part With ' ; i o the the proposed grading. This site d:. Kingswood 2nd Addition and it will serve that plat with streets on both sides of the ponding area. With the Kingsywood 2nd Addition preliminary plat, townhouses were proposed in at area. The zoning to R- was not approved and the r a in ~y agriculturally zoned. It was anticipated Q-0t if the Merito piece were down zoned to an R--1 district. the Horn land would do the same. At the t],m- '-e Ki ; w%:od 2nA di on received al :ova1 . this subject s7 was reviewed and it was _ tined that an ex nsirof i' eF Z_ Roa I Pilot Knob Rte Ld was not 0 Oble. Therefore, it will be sa y to coo dinate the d tailed alignment with the Horne pic?wi,y prior to the final plat approval so that both developers are satisfied. The access from Pilot Knob Road was originally to the south approximately 150'. With a great deal o cooperation demonstrated by Meritor, the property owners to the north, and the County, this access was shifted to the north so the two single family homes can now have street access and eliminate the shared driveway on to Pilot Knob Road. This will also provide left turn lanes from both north and southbound Pilot Knob Road into this development. The lots vary in size from 12,240 square feet to 42,500 square feet, all at least 5' wide at the setback line. The net density of the plat is 1.75 units/acre.

The pre and post development phosphorus l-,ad n rates to lackb wk Lake were P x' i aced us? g a model developed by William Walker, Jr. The i i_ndic al 3 that the phosphorus will _.+_?.I dT iIi_~ rate increase from approximately lb Jy _ar after site development. The ponding volume nece°usary to maintain existing nutrient loading to Blackhawk Lake was estimated to be approximately L acre foot. However, since the outflow from Fish Lake and -runoff from I-35E also enter Pond JP-5, a wet pond it volume - approximately 3 acre ~ feet a+r-. , ,,fT" "jT s- provide ~a t~q1xxt , 4- is T"! _ treatment of storm water runoff.

UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient depth and capacity is available to the site in I-35E right-of-way at the, southwesterly corner of the proposed development. The development will be required to extend sanitary sewer service to its southerly boundary in two locations at a low enough elevation to serve the southerly adjacent property. Water main service of sufficient pressure and capacity is readily available in Pilot Knob Road and has been stubbed to the property line as a result of the ongoing reconstruction of Pilot Knob Road at this time. The development will be required to provide water main service to the southerly adjacent property in two locations. ST ETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Public street access to this site is readily available and is proposed in one location from Pilot Knob Road. Street access through the development is proposed through the use of two lone cul-de-sac streets. The development will be required to construct temporary cul-de-sacs at the southerly terminus of the proposed streets. EASEMENTS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY/PERMITS: The development has proposed to dedicate the necessary right-of-way for the upgraded Pilot Knob Road. The County will be requiring restricted access along the Pilot Knob Road frontage. The proposed access location and how it ties into the current reconstruction of Pilot Knob Road is subject to review and comment by the County. The development will be required to supply the appropriate easements for those public utilities constructed outside of the dedicated public street right-of-way. The development will also be responsible for acquiring the appropriate slope easement and street right-of-way from the northerly adjacent property. The development will be required to provide the appropriate ponding easement for Pond JP-5 to incorporate the required high water level and storage volume requirements in accordance with the City of Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. All regulatory agency permits shall be acquired within the appropriate time frame as required by the affected agency.
