Adj4 MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: , DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: MARCH 3, 1987 RE: COMMISSION MEETING - THURSDAY, MARCH 5TH After approval of the agenda, approval of the minutes of the February 5th, Commission meeting and the minutes of February 11th Special meeting, the following is in order. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS Lexington Parkview Addition was moved to the March Commission meeting, due to incomplete data. The developer has subsequently met with staff in regard to the proposed grading plan. Staff is confident that we can now proceed with reviewal of this plat, at this time. SUNRISE ADDITION This proposed preliminary plat is adjacent to the Mueller Park/School site. Staff has reviewed this particular plat for additional land acquisition, but feel such is unnecessary. Therefore, a cash dedication is being recommended, along with a trail dedication requirement - along Wescott Road. WOODLANDS ADDITION The third item for development proposals is the Woodlands Addition, adjacent to the proceeding Sunrise Addition. Staff will be recommending a cash dedication requirement and trail on Wescott Road. DANBURY ADDITION The final development proposal was for the Danbury Addition, which is an exception within the Lexington Square development. This exception was not part of the Lexington South PUD, therefore, a cash dedication requirement for the lots created should be recommendation of the Advisory Commission. Planning packets have been included for the development proposals, except the Lexington Parkview Addition, which was part of your February packet.

Mr. Martin stated that if it was agreeable to the City, he had no objections and felt it was a workable compromise and certainly fair to the City and developer. After further discussion, there was a motion by Masin, seconded by Mr. Caponi, to accept parcels 1 & 2 as parkland dedication, with the platting of the first two developments. All members voted in favor. Mr. Porter, seconded by Mr. Sames relative to the P.U.D., that Commission recommend conceptual acceptance of parcels 3, 4, & 5 and a cash amount of $100,000 to be financed by bonding, if the terms of bonding are acceptable to the Directors of Parks & Recreation and Finance. Second, an easement should be obtained so that a trail could be constructed around the entire pond located in parcel #3. The details of the trail alignment in the easement should be reviewed and negotiated by staff. Third, in the event that fundidng by the above method is unacceptable, parcels 3, 4, & 5 should be returned to the Commission for further negotiations. All members voted in favor.

APPLICANT: TRI-LAND PROPERTIES LOCATION: SE 1/4 OF SECTION 14 EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRIGULTURAL) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 26, 1987 DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 17, 1987 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATIONS: Two separate applications. have been submitted requesting a rezoning of 36 (Agricultural) acres to an R-1 (single family) district and a preliminary plat consisting of 70 lots located north of Wescott Road in the SE 1/4 of Section 14. This plat is consistent with both the existing Land Use Plan and the recently adopted plan. EXISTING CONDITIONS: An elementary school site, an unplatted agricultural parcel and Carriage Hills Golf Course are to the west and south of this plat. The Wescott Garden lots are to the north and another single family proposal, the Woodlands abuts to the east. It should be noted that the developers of the Woodlands and this project combined efforts to create an overall layout compatible with the physical constraints of the area. This site is characterized by steep slopes, numerous knolls and depressions with storage capabilities. Most vegetation would be considered 'savanna' in the broad habitat classification. This includes 5 - 50% tree crown cover, grassland with scattered trees and forest prairie transitions (irregular groves of forest intermixed with grasslands or farmsteads). The extreme NW portion of the site is heavily wooded. The 100' wide Williams Pipeline easement crosses this project in a northeasterly manner in the northern 1/3 of the site. SITE PLAN: The primary access for this plat is through north/south Sunrise Way. North of the school site it splits forming a cul-de- sac that backs up to a large ponding area along the western property line. The cul-de-sac is nearly centered over this easement and should service this otherwise tough to develop corner quite well. Lots 13 and 14, Block 3, will not be able to meet the 85' width at the setback line and 50' at the curb R-1 lot criteria. All lots do meet the 12,000 S.F. requirement and most exceed with the average size being 17,220 S.F. This plat has a gross density of 1.97 units/acre and a net density of 2.4 units/acre. Sunrise Trail will provide a secondary east/west connection to the Woodlands project. Another east/west connection point has been provided along the northern portion of Lot 7, Block 1 in case direct access to the school site becomes necessary. The property line between Lots 17 and 18, Block 3, will need to be shifted to the east so the existing home can meet setback requirements. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient, size, capacity and depth will be provided by the trunk extension along Wescott Road proposed for 1987. Because this plat is contingent upon this trunk extension, it must be ordered for installation by Council action prior to final plat approval. The application material submitted indicated that this development would receive the majority of its sanitary sewer service through the Woodlands Addition. Based on minimum elevations available from the extension of the trunk sewer in Wescott Road, the applicant's proposal is not feasible. Subsequently, it must be revised to have all sanitary sewer from the Sunrise Addition conveyed directly to the trunk in Wescott Road. This will also eliminate the coordination requirements with the Woodlands Addition. The internal sanitary sewer lateral must be, installed to the north boundary of the plat in the northwest corner for future extension and service of approximately 23 acres of the adjacent unplatted property. In addition, a sanitary sewer lateral should be stubbed to the west line in the extreme northwest corner for future extension and service by potential development of the golf course. Water service for this development of adequate pressure and capacity will be provided by the proposed trunk water main to be constructed within Wescott Road during 1987. Because this construction has not yet been authorized, this development cannot proceed until Council has authorized its installation. This development shall interconnect its internal water main lateral with the stub from the Woodlands Addition on the east. Also, the water main shall be stubbed to the extreme northwest corner for future extension with the development of the adjacent unplatted property and golf course.. An 8" water main shall connect at the future trunk on Wescott Road and extend through this plat to the extreme northwest corner for future extension and connection to the future 16" Duckwood Drive trunk line. GRADING/ DINAGE: The grading, plan submitted with this application is incomplete and not compatible with the proposed development scheme in several locations. With the need to perpetuate and maximize the storage capacity of Pond JP-60 in the extreme northern corner of this development, it will be necessary to eliminate the two proposed building sites. Also, in the northwest corner of the proposed development, no fill or encroachment into Pond JP-41 will be allowed. Maximum storm water storage volume requirements must be maintained. Also, this application did not provide for any internal storm sewer lateral system necessary to handle surface water runoff. Because of these significant oversights and omissions, a detailed review is difficult and only generalized comments can be provided for consideration of this approval. The City is currently reviewing its Comprehensive Master Storm Sewer Plan to determine possible revisions that would affect the number, location and elevations of required storm water drainage basins within and adjacent to this subdivision and the proposed Woodlands development to the east. After completion of the City's review, a a detailed grading and drainage plan compatible with any final revision must be submitted and approved to ensure that adequate storage volumes are being provided. The general outlet for this drainage district is the existing trunk storm sewer in Wescott Road near the Lexington Square development which provides a positive outlet to the Minnesota River. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Access to this development would be provided by way of Wescott Road which currently exists as a rural ditch gravel road section. It is anticipated that Wescott Road will be upgraded to its ultimate four-lane, two-trailway design during 1987. However, this improvement must be authorized by Council action prior to this development's final approval to ensure adequate access. To provide adequate continuity, a street connection is being provided to the proposed stub street from the Woodlands Addition on the east. This development is proposing to stub the street to the northwest corner for future extension and connection to Wescott Hills Drive adjacent to the Carriage Hills Golf Course. However, there exists approximately 300' of private property between this development and the public right-of-way for Wescott Hills Drive which eliminates the potential for interconnection and ultimate access to Yankee Doodle Road. Subsequently, a temporary cul-de-sac will have to be constructed in the extreme northwest corner. Also, in this same area, public right-of-way should be dedicated for future street and utility extensions to the west when the golf course develops. Also, the final alignment of Wescott Hills Drive through this plat should be realigned to provide for a more free flowing movement to Wescott Road with the stub street from the Woodlands Addition on the east creating more of a "T" intersection rather than the proposed "Y" configuration. If the Woodlands Addition development does. not proceed, this development should construct a temporary cul-de-sac on its eastern boundary of the proposed stub street. EASEMENTS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY/PERMITS: A 50' half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Wescott Road. All internal streets shall have a minimum 60' right-of-way with cul-de-sac diameters at 110'. Based on the final revisions to the Comprehensive Storm Sewer ponding requirements, adequate ponding easements must be dedicated to incorporate the anticipated high water elevations. This may impact the buildable area of several proposed slots. Additional common side and rear lot utility easements will be necessary based on whatever final internal storm sewer lateral system design is required with the final configuration. In addition to all regulatory agency permit requirements for the installation and extension of utilities, a permit must be obtained from the Williams Brothers Pipeline Company for grading and street/utility construction within their easement. Based on anticipated design constraints by Williams Brothers, that permit must be obtained prior to final detail design and plat approval. Depending upon the final approved detailed grading plan, additional slope/fill easements may be required from the adjacent unplatted property. Additional slope easements will also be required from the property to the east if the Woodlands Addition does not proceed. ASSESSMENTS: The entire parcel to be incorporated within this development has previously been assessed for trunk area sanitary sewer. No trunk area water or storm sewer assessments have been levied nor are they presently pending. However, with the anticpated trunk storm sewer improvements necessary to service this development and the adjacent Woodlands Addition, trunk area storm sewer would be levied under a future City project if not included as a condition of approval. Street assessments for the upgrading of Wescott Road would be identified as a part of that public hearing process anticipated within the next several months. If these public improvement projects do not proceed, the following is a list of all related trunk area assessment obligations of this development in addition to the internal streets and utilities. ITEM QUANTITY RATE AMOUNT PROJECT # Trunk Area Water 30 Ac $1,250/Ac $37,500 494 Trunk Area Storm Sewer 1,306,800 sf $0.053/sf $69,260 494 Wescott Rd.

CONDITIONS: SUNRISE, ADDITION 1. The upgrading of Wescott Road must be approved by Council action prior to final plat approval. 2. The installation and extension of trunk sanitary sewer and water main within Wescott Road must be approved by Council action prior to final plat approval. 3. The internal sanitary sewer collection system shall drain to its ultimate connection at Wescott Road and also provide extensions to the adjacent unplatted property and golf course in the extreme northwest corner. 4. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan must be submitted and approved by staff prior to final plat approval. 5. This development shall dedicate the required storm water ponding easements in accordance with the revised Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan necessary to provide the required storage volumes. 6. In addition to the common lot line drainage and utility easements, this development shall dedicate appropriate easements as dictated by the final alignment and depth of all utilities constructed outside of dedicated street right-of-way. 7. Public street right-of-way shall be provided for future extension into the golf course property at the extreme northwest corner. 8. A temporary cul-de-sac shall be constructed at the end of all stub streets that do not provide for immediate extension to other existing or scheduled streets. 9. An 8" diameter internal water main shall connect at Wescott Road and provide for future connection to the Duckwood Drive trunk water main near the northwest corner. 10. Wescott Hills Drive final alignment should provide for a free flowing traffic movement from the northwest corner to Wescott Road with the stub street to the proposed Woodlands Addition intersecting at a "T" configuration. 11. This development shall be responsible for all additional assessment obligations associated with the development of this plat at the rates in effect at the time of final plat approval. 12. This development shall obtain all regulatory agency permits necessary within the time frame required by the affected agency. In addition, a permit to work within the Williams Brothers easement must be obtained prior to final plat approval. 13. This development shall provide the appropriate easements and construction of a trailway providing access to the proposed elementary school from the Woodlands Addition on the east in a location as approved by the Parks Department. 14. All standard platting conditions shall be adhered to. 15. The existing home on Lot 18, Block 3, shall meet setback requirements. f, <~-y J KUS tm. ~ CARRIAGE 454..__ H/LLS GOLfC yy COURSE " 11 i 9 v aw sa f r% fA C ti a r 91.

APPLICANT: ROBERT ENGSTROM ASSOCIATES LOCATION: SE 1/4 OF SECTION 14 EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURE) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 26, 1987 DATE OF PORT : FEBRUARY 17, 1987 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATIONS: Two separate applications have been submitted requesting a rezoning of 73.2 (Agricultural) acres to an R-1 (Single Family) district and a preliminary plat for The Woodlands. This plat consists of 125 lots and is located in the S.E. 1/4 of Section 14. The existing Land Use Plan and the recently adopted plan designate this area as R-1 and D-1 respectively. Therefore, an amendment will not be necessary. EXISTING CONDITIONS: This site is located west of the Windtree and South Oak Additions and an existing single family agricultural parcel. The Wescott Garden Lots and an undeveloped R-4 district are to the north. The Sunrise Addition proposal is along the entire western side of this project. There was a concentrated effort made by both applicants to develop this unique area with as little disturbance as possible to the native conditions. The western area in the middle 1/3 of the site and the southerly 1/4 of the site have been cultivated farmland. The rest of the site is dominated by a deciduous forest with both over and understory plant material. This site is characterized by steep slopes, ponding areas and very little or no flat land. The need for cul-de-sacs is fully apparent in this area of Eagan. The Williams Pipeline easement crosses the site in a northeasterly manner in the northwesternmost portion of the site. The area north of that easement will become an outlot. SITE PLAN: The primary access to the site is through a single northerly flowing street that is stubbed to the Wescott Garden Lots. The elevation of this road is fairly level and the cul-de-sacs that branch off of it try to match an existing high point or low point as often as possible. This should help reduce unnecessary grading and the loss of trees. The applicant is proposing' tear drop shaped cul- de-sacs with islands containing maintenance free native vegetation in an effort to restore the area as close to the pregrading conditions as can be expected. Six of these cul-de-sacs face towards a 'hole' that is +40' below the street grades. Two of these are longer than the 5001 permitted by Code and will need variance approvals. The lots vary in size from 12,000 S.F. to 111,195 S.F. and average approximately 20,500 S.F. The gross density is 1.72 units per acre. As with the Chatterton Ponds subdivision, additional entry landscaping and buffering along the adjacent major city street will be provided. The developer will also retain architectural control of the houses and have other covenants governing trash pick up and additional landscaping. UTILITIES: Water service to this development will be provided by the proposed 12" water main, scheduled to be constructed within Wescott Road under City contract during 1987. This will provide adequate pressure and supply to this proposed subdivision. An 8" water main shall be constructed from Wescott Road through this development to the north boundary for future extension and connection to the future east/west 16" trunk water main. Adequate stubs should be provided for extension and connection to the proposed Sunrise Addition on the east within public right-of-way. This development is located within the sanitary drainage district N- W which was proposed to be serviced by the existing 9" sewer within Elrene Road. After considerable review of the capacity and elevation of this existing sanitary sewer and the topography between Elrene Road and this development, it is acceptable to redirect that portion of district N-W, located in the southeast quarter of Section 14, to the proposed easterly extension of the trunk sanitary sewer within Wescott Road anticipated during 1987. Dy maintaining a minimum slope along Wescott Road and throughout this subdivision, it will be able to provide service to all property above the 880.0 elevation. The internal sanitary sewer lateral shall be extended at minimum grades to the north and northeast property lines within street right- of-way for future extension and connection with the development of those adjacent properties. No extensions are necessary for the proposed Sunrise Addition due to elevation constraints,. An 8" sanitary sewer lateral with a terminal manhole shall be constructed from the most southeasterly cul-de-sac to the 2-acre exception in the southeast corner (Parcel #020-78). GRADING/DRAINAGE: This proposed development consists of very heavily wooded and rolling topography with very steep side slopes and maximum elevation differentials of 113+/- ft. Subsequently, there are severe topographical constraints that limit the feasibility of creating buildable lots in several areas and, in other areas, requires a variance to the front yard setback ordinance. Based on the grading plan submitted, the short cul-de- sac in the northwest corner of the plat is not feasible and should be eliminated resulting in a loss of two lots.' Simi lari ly, the 610' cul-de-sac in the northeast corner should be pulled further to the south to create a bench area for housing pads if these are to be considered buildable lots. Also, the short cul-de-sacs on the east side of the main north/south through street also raised questions about creating buildable lots due to the rapid change in elevation and should subsequently be eliminated. These cul-de-sac adjustments and/or eliminations would result in a reduction of an additional 5-7 lnt-s_ A major area of concern relates to the installation of the required trunk storm sewer facilities to provide adequate drainage for this development and upstream drainage districts. Due to the extreme elevation differential and heavily wooded topography, interconnection of the designated trunk storm water ponds would result in significant destruction of trees to construct the 65'-75' deep storm sewer systems. Subsequently, the staff is reviewing possible revisions to the overall Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan to try and isolate Pond JP-61 in the northwest corner and Pond JP-12 in the east central portion of this plat from receiving any direct storm water runoff, thereby eliminating the need for the construction of the deep trunk storm sewer outlets. Subsequently, the final drainage design and internal lateral storm sewer distribution system will have to be designed in accordance with the ultimate revisions to the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan prior to final plat approval. It will be necessary for the required trunk area storm sewer improvements to be installed to provide adequate downstream drainage to Wescott Road near the Lexington Square development before this development can proceed. Trunk area storm sewer facilities are presently in place from the Lexington Square development to the Minnesota River. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Access to this development will be provided by Wescott Road which is proposed to be upgraded to a 4- lane design with trailways on both sides during 1587. Because of the topography, this development is proposing nine cul-de-sacs. Referencing the discussion regarding buildable' lots under the grading portion of this report, it is recommended that three of the short cul-de-sacs be eliminated. In addition, the two parallel cul- de-sacs in the southeastern portion of the plat are not necessitated by topography or boundary constraints and should be connected providing a U-shaped circulation movement. A stub street is provided along the western portion of this plat for extension into the proposed Sunrise Addition. In the northwestern corner, two streets are proposed for extension with the future development of the adjacent unplatted property. At these two northerly locations, temporary cul-de-sacs will have to be constructed for removal and extension when the adjacent property develops. Until the property to the north and northwest develops, this development will have a 1,400' - 1,700' long "dead end" street circulation configuration. It should be noted that no street access is being provided to the 2.0 acre exception in the extreme southeast corner limiting its ability to subdivide. Consideration should be given to incorporating this exception within the planned layout of this development. Due to the present rural ditch gravel road section of Wescott Road, this development should not proceed until Wescott Road has been ordered for improvement to its ultimate design section. EASEMENTS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY/PERMITS: A 50' half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Wescott Road. The internal "through" streets provide the necessary 60' right-of-way. However, all cul-de-sacs are only providing a 50' right-of-way with a 60' radius for the "bubble". With the proposed internal center islands, the cul-de-sac bubble must have a minimum radius of 65'. Final detailed drainage and utility easements cannot be accurately determined until the overall Comprehensive Storm Sewer revisions have been analyzed and incorporated into this proposed development. At that time, appropriate high water ponding easements and utility alignment easements will have to be dedicated on the final plat as required by the City. Construction of utilities and streets at the northern end of this development will require the acquisition of a permit from the Williams Brothers Pipeline Company. Because of the rough topography and limitation of grading, no slope easements are anticipated from adjacent private property. The acquisition of all regulatory agency permits for the utility system installation will be the responsibility of this development within the required time i .,.ames. ASSESSMENTS: This development was previously assessed in its entirety for trunk area sanitary sewer. No other assessments have been levied, deferred or are presently pending regarding the development of this property. However, it is anticipated that the public hearing for the upgrading of Wescott Road will be held by June of 1987 resulting in a pending assessment against this development. In addition to those anticipated pending assessments, additional assessment obligations are identified as follows: ITEM QUANTITY RATE AMOUNT Trunk Area Water 62.12 Ac $1,250/Ac $ 77,650 Trunk Area Storm Sewer 2,751,000 sf $0.053/sf $145,803 TOTAL $223,453 All final assessment obligations will be calculated based on the final quantities contained in the final plat providing credit for the appropriate ponding easements and in accordance with the rates in effect at the time of final plat approval. CONDITIONS: WOODLANDS ADDITION 1, The upgrading of Wescott Road and the trunk area storm sewer system servicing this development must be approved by Council action prior to final plat approval. 2. In addition to the required common lot line drainage and utility easements, this development shall dedicate all ponding and utility alignment easements as required by the final design approved by staff prior to or as a part of final plat approval. 3. A temporary cul-de-sac shall be constructed at all stub streets at the boundaries of this development. 4. The two parallel cul-de-sacs in the southeastern portion of the development shall be eliminated through their interconnection. 5. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan showing buildable house elevations for each lot must be submitted and approved prior to final plat approval. 6. All cul-de-sacs shall be eliminated that cannot provide feasible building sites without extensive grading and/or retaining wall requirements. 7. An 8" water main shall traverse through this plat for future extension to the north. 8. Sanitary sewer laterals shall be stubbed to the adjacent property on the northwest and southeast portions of this plat for future extensions and service. 9. All regulatory agency permits shall be acquired within the time frame requirements of the affected agencies. 10. All cul-de-sacs with center islands shall have a minimum right- of-way radius of 65'. A 50' half right-of-way for Wescott Road shall be dedicated. A minimum 60' right-of-way for all internal through streets must be dedicated. 11. Sanitary sewer to service this development from Wescott Road shall be ordered for installation by Council action prior to final plat approval. 12. Water main looping between cul-de-sacs shall be provided as required by City staff. 13. All standard platting conditions shall be, adhered to. 14. A variance shall be granted for the 2 cul-de-sacs in excess of 500'. 15. This plat shall be subject to a parks dedication fee. CARR! __~»....SL..

This plat consists of 17 lots on 5.5 acres that was an exception to the Lexington South P.D. and includes an additional lot that currently is Outlot A of the Lexington Square 3rd Addition. Both the existing and recently adopted land use plans designate this area R-2 and D-2 respectively, therefore an amendment will not be necessary. EXISTING CONDITIONS/SITE P : This site is surrounded by Lexington Square Additions on all four sides. This exception is currently a farmstead with a house, barn and smaller accessory structure. All will be removed with this proposal. Mature trees are found around the existing buildings on the west side of the property. The remaining portion of the site is open grassland. This plan calls for the westerly extention of Danbury Trail connecting to the north/south Gibralter Trail. Outlot A is the area immediately east of Lot 9, Block 2. The 18 lots on 5.7 gross acres give this project a density of 3.15 units per acre. The lots range in size from 10,800 - 16,632 square feet with the exception of Outlot A. It measures 80' x 120' (9,600 square feet). Fourteen lots have 75 foot widths at the setback line, matching those to the north in the 3rd Addition. Three other lots' widths are-30 feet and one is ±110 feet. The lot configurations work well with the previously platted lots. Therefore, a variance to deviate from the R-l lot width standard of 85' at the setback line and the 12,000 S.F. minimum size requirement would be the most practical solution to amend the Code without rezoning to a P.S. district. All R-1 side yard setback requirements would remain intact. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size, capacity and depth is available and has been stubbed to this development for extension as a part of the surrounding Lexington Square lst Addition. GRADING & DRAINAGE: The property in its present state generally drains from east to west. However, with the proposed grading plan, this development will be split providing even distribution of drainage to the east and west. This subdivision is surrounded by existing single-family lots which have already been graded to their final elevations. Therefore, this development shall not direct any drainage through existing common side lot lines of the surrounding development, but rather contain all drainage within backyard drainage swales and direct it to the new internal street construction or to the existing backyard catch basin in the southeast corner of this development. All drainage swales shall be constructed to a minimum 1.0% slope. In the northwest corner of this development, there is an existing grove of trees that should be saved and taken into consideration in designing the final drainage swales. The required backyard drainage swales shall not restrict, but rather accommodate existing drainage from the surrounding single-family properties as it may presently occur. Catch basins shall be installed on the proposed Danbury Drive at its intersection with Gibraltar Trail to intersect street runoff prior to entering the intersection. STREETS: This development will be serviced by the extension and continuation of Danbury Drive from Savannah Road on the east to Gibraltar Trail on the west. It shall be constructed to typical residential street design standards of 7-ton design, 32' wide with 15' radii. EASEMENTS/ This development shall dedicate a 60' right-of-way necessary to provide for the continuation of the Danbury Drive street improvements. In addition to the common lot line drainage and utility easements, this development shall dedicate sufficient drainage easements to incorporate the required drainage swales as defined by the final approved grading plan. No unusual permit requirements are anticipated beyond the normal MPCA, MWCC and Dept. of Health review for sanitary sewer and water extensions. OTHER: It is recommended that this development incorporate Outlot A of Lexington Square 3rd Addition on the east end to allow its development. It has already been serviced with improved streets and required City utilities, but was platted as an Outlot to restrict a home construction until this proposed development took place. ASSESSMENTS: Trunk area sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer assessments have been previously levied at the single-family rates over the property proposed to be developed. Therefore, there are no additional assessment obligations associated with this proposed development other than those that may be related to the installation of required streets and utilities under a public improvement project, which would be identified with the appropriate feasibility report and public hearing process. CONDITIONS : DANBURY ADDITION 1. The final detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be approved prior to final plat approval. 2. This development shall be responsible for any outstanding, unlevied or deferred assessments or other financial obligations associated with this development at the rates in effect at the time of final plat approval. 3. All publicly dedicated streets and utilities shall be designed in accordance with City standards and constructed in accordance with City approved plans and specifications. 4. This development shall be responsible for the acquisition of all regulatory agency permits within their time frame required by the affected agency. 5. All standard platting conditions shall be adhered to. 6. A variance allowing 3.15 units per acre shall be granted with R-1 side yard setback requirements. 7. This plat shall be subject to a parks dedication fee. 1 T AID $ ~aPM tisdf R 0. , VPAL ~suFr a j ree _ TyWW 1`~' OCR ic+j r y ~ °xi 6SSEft""sm~'i? •v i rc5. i A z0fil Fie, 741...

BACKGROUND Highview Park has had an open skating and hockey rink for a number c The warming house is a "temporary" facility, with an estimated age of fot. teen to fifteen years. The building is now in generally poor condition. Skating attendance at Highview Park has been historically very, very low. Three years ago, the department discontinued having the shelter building open on Mondays through Thursdays during school days. An attendant was assi,.ned on weekends and during Christmas vacation hours. Broomball games h: v°.'~e n scheduled at this rink on Sundays and Mondays in an attempt to make this facility, and to alleviate burdens at other facilities. Staff anticipates that broomball will be moving to Quarry Park for the 1987/88 winter season. FACILITY CONDITIONS The warming house at Highview is in poor condition. Th^*°_:.t°zre is approximately fourteen years old, and was considered a t. fp, w° f c 1l .ty at the time it was placed in the park. The hockey rink Zs in very poor condition, with the hockey boards falling in, as a result of soil conditions pushing against the exterior of the boards. Staff has attempted to repair the boards repeatedly, but the rotting wood timbers often failed to hold the nails securely. Little more can be done to repair the boards, unless a complete replacement/rebuilding is done. Maintenance Staff have expressed concern for safety of the hockey rink users, because of loose boards, etc. The hockey lights are in fair to good condition, certainly adequate for today's needs. 1 COST As stated before, the rink is attended at a lesser schedule than other facilities. Attendant cost is programmed at 280/300 hours e season, or $1,250!$1,500 per season. Staff does not have a cost for ice maintenance, but it is assumed to be very comparable with most other skating locations within the community. ATTENDANCE Attendance again this year reflects very few skaters. Even durin, vacation, and on days in which other facilities note a significant r Ilbe Olt! skaters, this site continues to record low attendance. ISSUE At issue is a continuation of this facility at it's current programming level. With the moving of broomball from Highview to Quarry Park, use of this facility will continue to drop. As noted previously, there is re tively little attendance at this facility. This, combined with ti" --xe of expensive replacement of the hockey rink and warming house facili ; .staff questions whether it is the desire and direction of the Commi ion to continue use, or to provide an alternate service. Replacement of the hockey rink and the warming houses is estimated at approximately $32,000 to $36,000 for the building and hockey rink. Open skating could continue with the City maintaining a pleasure skatir.g rink, but removing both the hockey and warming house facility. Thin <-uld be similar to the situation at Cedar Pond Park and Country Home. Lig'jtiu~; o l, the area could be accomplished with the use of an electric eye or timing clock for turning on/off of the lights. Another alternative would be to simply remove the hockey rink, warming house, and lights, and discontinue this park for open skating altogether. C."' XION There has been limited use of Highview Park for open skating. Hockey boards and the warming house are in poor condition. Replacement of both would be necessary if the City is to continue use of the site at it's present level of service. Repair is not an option, unless it would be extensive, because of the rotting wood and expense involved relative to the benefit. One option is to remove the hockey rink and warming house, but maintain the pleasure skating area. FOR COMMISSION ACTION To recommend (a) replacement of the building and hockey rink, (b) remove the warming house and hockey rink in favor of maintaining a pleasure skating rink only, (c) remove the warming house and hockey rink, and discontinue the use of the site for a winter skating facility. 2 L' fC e_ 1_7 1 CENTER i tt with "step ti o" 'he pr l~ j .1 g it ticip ed with St , One, there would be c ith t ;step.

(OR, IF START NOW, CAN "ACTION PLAN" FOR 1988) That's right, Issues for 1987! Forget the fact that we are zcsW :°a z months into the New Year and shoul have done this in De ',,he less, it's not too late for the C ss.on to look ahead and identi° 'refine issues that staff and Commission neei to be working on. The Parks and Recreation Department staff will be undertaking a similar va. k by listing important issues and then sharing them at an "Brainstorming Session". Very simply, Staff intend to collectively i.<!errtiA'77 as many potential issues and concerns as possible nt.e 7 1't ley, we should be able to refine the list to action -ta is er n Leg goals/objectives of the department for the moni' 'grad. I'm recommending the Commission follow a similar course of action with the intent that staff and the Commission lists, be combined. Pri,:ori;y_ identification i.e., short term, intermediate and long range plan will need to play a key role in this process, as the lists are refined. Please make sure that as you develop your individual list, that you solicit input from the general public. Examples of items that I have on my "list" are as follows: 1. Bicycle Paths/Trails Develop new brochure on City bike trails for distribution to .sits. 2. Arts Festival Develop a program event with the focus on the "Arts". 3. New Park Guide Develop a brochure or guide, listing all the parks and facilities in -aei;- If each of the Commission members could begin to develop their tee, this would facilitate a future "brainstorming session", by the Co= ion. Staff will expand on this at the Commission meeting. 0 TO: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION l' FROM: JOI ,-LIND.E, DA'T': MA I d. 9 1n97 F 'E Th is ended to pr 7° ~rou witt i pro t ac i v = ; i ark t jnd ft 2 .

The department had so looked forward to tubing at Trapp Farm Park, the Winter Weekend in February, and cross-country skiing. All planning was completed, expectations of participants straining our capacity to provide service seemed appropriate, as the wait for winter continued! The activities mentioned above were virtually lost. Trapp Fa] open for tubing on only one weekend, January 31 - February 1. I observed a, :Moximately 40 people sliding at noon on Saturday. The department's cross-country ski lessons had one opportunity on the snow, that also on January 31st. Cancelled winter weekend events due to lack of snow and thawing condit __;ns were: The Friday Evening Pleasure/Distance Skate and the Saturday Afternoon Cross-Country Ski Event. The snow softball tournament hosted eleven teams. Playing conditions were icy in the morning and muddy in the afternoon. The afternoon temperature reached 530, warmer than at the final region tournament game last August! Planning for the Sunday winter picnic and sliding party was redirected toward summer picnic activity i.e., gunny sack races, peanut hunts, pillo polo, frizbee golf, etc. Staff was prepared to provide activity for a cro~ d. Girl Scout volunteers were on hand, staff was in place, the temperature was 300, the chuckwagon was ready; one family came. When no new "arrivals" had appeared for 45 minutes, staff informed the director that it appeared there was no point in staying any longer. SKATING RINKS The skating season was of particular challenge to maintenance. The me- are to be commended for the masterful job they accomplished to providE _ ,-Ible ice on every occasion that temperatures were cold enough to mainta'n ice. The Youth Hockey Associations provided positive feedback regarding the quality of the ice and their appreciation for the department's efforts. 1 cam. 1 isur 'f b f s cat] ff i he - _s wei valuabl The balanc of required r °.ng h of co soncern. 1 from burnot '/3 of the r t Pil t ia, 'ly , C 1, rY r _ _w and 1 oors >c L !xingt door knot l ff tr-, a4 uu~ .

These discussions were brought up partly in response to vandalism problems at once neighborhood parks. Much to the surprise of parks & recreation department staff, the police department quickly responded with a proposal to introduce a "parks ranger" program with minimal costs to the Parks and Recreation Department. Specifically, the police department suggested the use of the police explorer program in City parks. The explorer program is designed for young adults - in upper highschool levels or early college who are seriously considering a career in law enforcement. The basic program philosophy is to introduce these students to law enforcement activities to assist them in making osseor decisions. Though the explorer curricula is quite broadranged, the police department staff feel park ranger experiences should be incorporated Into their educational program. In this instance, not only will the City bone iL from patrol services in the park system, but the student will also gain insights and experience in this unique law enforcement area. PROGRAM Recently, there have been several discussions and meetings between police and parks department staff relative to preparations for the upcoming patrol program. One of the initial steps was to evaluate and define specific goals for the program. The following goals have been identified: 1. To provide information to park visitors about facilities and programs available in the Eagan parks system. 2. To provide enhanced visibility of the Eagan police patrol in City pr',cs and to create a better sense of safety and security among park visitors« 3. To institute a program aimed at preventing and reducing the level of vandalism and other depreciative behavior in Eagan parks. 4. To collect information on usage of the Eagan park system. 5. To collect information, in a timely manner, on problems associated with vandalism, maintenance needs, ordinance violations, etc. 6. To provide an improved program for reporting major ordinance viol at;1.one or first aid needs to the police department to ensure safer crew for park visitors. 7. To provide "real life" experiences for Eagan police explorers in t1 of police patrol and park security services. EXPLORER RESPONSIBILITIES The "Ranger Explorer" program will have some built in limitation:. Sim, these are students in their late-teens, there are ;ious re t°,et r° regard to enforcement capabilities. Staff recc>ur~ these l .s? to t, s , 1 suggest that the program serve more as a public relations tool than an enforcement tool. The primary philosophy of the program is to create a sense of enhanced public relations in our parks system. The explorers will be active in their dealings with the public through dissemination of brochures and maps, providing information about the park system and facilities, and by creating a positive image of the City. To a lesser extent they wl.'1 be responsibile for informing the public about the ord' z er_r~ its importance in preserving park resourc pro` . t. They will also serve as a communication m sum to poi®c _ c rz cases of emergencies, i.e. injuries, crimes in progress, vandal3 m s<.« Specifically, we envision the park ranger explorers to be responsible in the following areas: 1. Disseminating information to park visitors, e.g. brochures, maps, recreation flyers and information on other park agencies. 2. To provide "casual" enforcement of the Parks & Recreation Ordin ro! ' example, observe activities, inform park visitors about the ord and request assistance when necessary. 3. To provide visibility of the parks patrol program; for example, by vehicle, on foot, and by uniform. 4. To collect information about park usage; for example, . t«rs of u types of use, and vandalism/maintenance needs. To create a positive image of the City; for example, through good customer service, loyalty to the City, and by uniform. At present, the ranger explorers are being trained by the police dep.,tu'ent in several areas related to law enforcement, i.e., communications, handling emergencies, first aid, public relations and the parks patrol prograr2 Itself. Parks & Recreation staff will be involved in training activities. tt aChed you will find a copy of the final draft handbook which will be carried by ^a~; explorer on the "job." This manual addresses most phases of their d y-to t-ly work; e.g., public relations, interpretation of ordinance, and paur,_~l priorities. OPERATIONAL DETAILS EXPLORERS: Approximately 15-20 explorers will be part ic J y ap in; n lie program on a rotational basis. As the program progresses, new expaoj~e. be brought in as others "graduate" from the program. Consequently, oi-ag training will be necessary. UNIFORMS: Each explorer will be issued a "rental" uniform to be worn while on duty. This uniform will likely include pants, shirt, cap and a jacket. The cap and jacket will identify the individual as a ranger explorer. Caps and jackets are being furnished by the parks department; the balance of the uniform is being provided by the police department. SQUAD CAR A designated police vehicle will be used for the ranger explorer p c z°~7e police department will be retaining one "surplus" vehicle each year fc- the program - this vehicle will be traded in the following year. EXPENSES Expenses for the program will be shared by the police and parks dF ,~ar_U nr c, The police department will be responsible for furnishing the vebic1.p, Vu 1, explorer uniforms and other miscellaneous costs associated with ' e-pioV he explorer program running. The parks department will finance the caps and jacket portion of their uniforms and provide all necessary forms for communication. Consequently, the cost to the parks department will be minimal. COMMUNICATIONS Written forms will be used to enhance communications between the departtin~e it and with the explorers. These include a special services request s~°o aa_1y log form, and ordinance reminder form. Additional details can be : :'o0ndi in the attached handbook. PATROL PRIORITIES As the seasons change, so do priorities for patrol activities in V)e parks system. For instance, patrol activities at Northview Par',, 'roo d oe heightened during the summer months. Conversely, patrol in the wJ.nte_, should be minimal at this site. A separate section of the employee handboo'Y;.- deals specifically with the issue of patrol priorities by season and within each park. Explorers will also be encouraged to get into the parks on foot to enhance contact with the public and provide greater visibility. It is anticipated that the program will be on line about May 1. It is our intention that the program continue on an ongoing basis. The biggest factor in dictating the level of patrol activity will be the availability of explorers. Since we are dealing with students, on a volunteer basis, there will be some obvious limitations. We expect the greatest =apt .cis on patrol to be in the summer months due to student availability. `.iowever, we also anticipate the program continuing during week nights and weekends during the balance of the year. In summary, we think this is an outstanding opportunity for the parks and recreation department. It provides us with an opportunity to en] ico our public relations and ordinance enforcement capabilities. W f,7~-?l rim will create a better sense of security in our parks and ibt11.ld a z;. o oC positive visitor relations. Obviously, ongoing evaluation of the pro,_ c a w . 1 . 1 . I be required to make adjustments that best fit our program goals and the interests of both departments.
