A number of suggestions and comments were received at the meeting which have been incorporated into planned improvements for the parks. Landscape Architect/Parks Planner Steve Sullivan explained the planning process and the limitations of the present park site. The residents wished the hockey rink to remain at its present location, but be repaired and upgraded. A single ball field is to be placed internally, but closer to the parking lot. An internal trail and importation of topsoil or other materials to create some topographic relief with massive plantings will be required. After further explanation of the concept plan, Mr. Sullivan reviewed two alternatives for the area identified as the play equipment and hard court surfaces. The alternatives involved incorporating horseshoe, basketball, and soccer kickboards. Several residents of the neighborhood were present to ask questions r IS rig the plan.

Parks & Rec. Comm. March 5, 1987 Page Three COMMUNITY CENTER STUDY - STEP 2 The Director of Parks and Recreation reviewed his memorandum contained in packet, saying he felt the next step would be to do a samplin,.; cof community relative to its needs. He suggested that representati the hockey association, figure skating groups, and swim groups be to provide input and information to the Commission. It was agreed this would be the most logical step. Mr. Caponi questioned why the Comlr.iesion should consider listening to additional people and collect more information before it has determined the philosophy of a community center. The Director responded that these people could provide additional information and expertise to allow the Commission the opportunity to know what the community has an interest in. Further, it is important to allow these groups to represent their views early in the Commission study. Mr. Kubik said that he felt would be important to see some additional literature on thi o ",pct f^<;~_perhaps, professional journals. Director Vraa responded that he has collected additional data that can be shared with the Commission. Mr. Kubik stated he hoped that if we bring additional people in, we will pay attention to more than just the special interest groups. Chairperson Thurston stated that she was in agreement with the next step as had been previously laid out and that the Commission should set a meeting date. After discussion, the Director of Parks and Recreation was asked to establish March 25, 7:00 p.m. for this meeting, BLUE CROSS/BLUE SHIELD PARK SHELTER The Director told the Advisory Commission that the Finance Committee of Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Minnesota has approved, and will be recommending to the Board, the expenditures for the expansion of the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Park facility to include shower and locker rooms.

Director Vraa responded to a question indicating that the recer _ "Tt'th Schwarz-Weber Architects had set April 30 as a tentative bid open C t for shelter bidding. GARDEN PLOTS Director of Parks and Recreation Vraa reviewed the discussion at the 3a!--,t Advisory Commission meeting concerning garden plot sites. Supertntendeot VonDeLinde commented that the Lexington/Diffley sites, Rahn park ~;ite tnd Pilot Knob park site had also been reviewed and found to be inadequate beeccuse of traffic, poor soil, or lack of space. There was discussion by the Adva_sorvy Commission relative to the best alternatives. Commission members coacucn'bod that while none of the sites were ideal, the program should be continued. Director Vraa was asked for his recommendation concerning the site. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Advisory Commission for staff to proceed with the garden plot site under the High line adjacent to Dodd Road. It was noted that this would be a temporary location until a suitable site could be located elsewhere. Adv. Parks & Rec. Comm. March 5, 1987 Page Four PARKS DEVELOPMENT Chairperson Thurston noted that there were several residents in the from the Lakeside Park neighborhood. The Commission was asked to take u> item. The Director of Parks and Recreation reviewed the history of the park systems plan, the neighborhood meetings, and the selection and approval of a plan for Lakeside Park. He stated that several residents had been in contact with the department over the last several days. The resident adjacent to the prk was very much opposed to the proposed plan, while others were very 1 p,,) _;r iv e. The Director continued, saying that the plan for the park had n; the plan that was approved in 1983 and that staff had contint a '_th planning for development of this park under the approved '814 bone x r'az eL Landscape Architect Steve Sullivan reviewed the existing park site and elements that affect its design. The systems plan located a ball field in the park, relocated a play structure, and provided for a hard courts play re<. A trail is to be provided along the north edge of the park, beneath overt, , I powerlines. Because the park is small, little can be done to incorporate than what is shown. Mr. Sullivan explained the tree line, maintenance Ti etc. There were several questions by residents of the Commission regarding the size of the ball field and who might use it. Mr. Dahl, an adjacent resident, spoke against the plan. He was concerned about the destruction of the trees and disruption to wildlife. He further stated that the ball field would be used by adult groups which would encourage drinking and disuse of the park. In response to a question from the audience, the Director of sa° : s and Recreation stated that this is not a scheduled facility. Adult 1 a.r are played at two community athletic sites and youth games are scr school sites and parks with adequate parking. This site would not b- scheduled site, but for use by neighborhood pick-up groups. He went on to say that the 220-foot foul line distances are sufficient for younger children, but older groups would find it too small for their use. In response to the issue of destruction to vegetation, Mr. Sullivan stated that the City forester had done an inventory and analysis of the trees on the park. The trees taken would be box elder and other volunteer growth vegetation of a very sr..l l1. diameter. Larger ash trees with approximately 14" diameters would be Zaat. t~,t; the majority of mature trees would be saved and would not be affected by t:h-Js plan. There were other questions regarding the size of the play equip]-nent, trails, disruption of wildlife, and the utilization of the park. Several a,C the residents spoke in favor of the plan, citing that children are often now playing in the cul-de-sacs and streets because there is limited play space at the park presently. Chairperson Thurston asked Mr. Dahl if the backat?p should be moved to an alternate location, one which would place it next 110 to house. Mr. Dahl opposed this and stated that his desire was not to ha,,- any ball field or any development. After additional discussion, Mr. Caponi:at.ated that he accepted the plan, even though he had not been involved with, it Adv. Parks & Rec. Comm. March 5, 1987 Page Five before, that the size of the parcel limited the alt ;r° ,=-)tives available, and that this was a good parks plan given the restrictions. Mr. Caponi then made a motion to accept the plan and for staff to proceed with construction documents. The motion was seconded by Carroll, with all members voting in favor. G I SKATING RINK Director of Parks and Recreation Vraa referred to his memox -lira w. in concerning the elimination or repair of the Highview skating rink. vLc.yo tape was played for the Commission which was taken of the hockey rink, open skating area, and park shelter building.

Member Kubik questioned whether items could be removed from the consent agenda. Finding that this could be done, on a motion by Sames, seconded )y Kubik, with all members voting in favor, the Commission asked that the c agenda be used.

He explained the Saturday, April 25 planned program, for the planting of trees at Meadowlands P{t "ftsr additional explanation, members of the Commission expressed posit4 v ~c, ^t and excitement over the program. Member Caponi stated that the C; an should function responsibly and express its main interest in this ro"r:1M. Director Vraa asked for the Commission's response to a proposal entitled "Buy A Tree/Get A Tree". He stated that the City would purchase trees at a Adv. Parks & Rec. Comm. March 5, 1987 Page Six discount and then sell them to residents along with a free tree. Sandy Hertz suggested that the individuals be allowed to buy a tree and then donate a 4.--se to the parks system. Several members spoke adamantly in favor of this <e. Member Kubik asked how this might be accomplished. After add.'`zer,. discussion and comments relative to the support of this program, on by Kubik, seconded by Bertz, with all members v _n favor, $1,000 Arbor Day tree planting program shall be initiated.

PARKS DEVELOPMENT - O'LEARY PARK/V1 JOODS PARK Landscape Architect Steve Sullivan reviewed the parks plan for O'Leary Park. He stated that several topographic features and vegetation of this site were important to consider and maximize. He explained that the park is devoid of any real winter program activity and is primarily a summer park. The lineal nature of the park lends itself to several trails and the installation of r1_.rr equipment would be located on an island surrounded by mature trees. described for the Commission how this would be accomplished, along with other elements of the park. The play equipment would have to be very site specific, utilizing wood chips and a series of timbers and soft surface materials. A small shelter, a hard court, and a centrally-located picnic area would be constructed. The Commission commented positively about the parks plan and stated that Mr. Sullivan has taken a very difficult park and created an opportunity. Mr. Sullivan then proceeded to review the proposed Vienna Woods Park, its location adjacent to I-35E and a commercial area to the north restrictions. Although the size of the park is somewhat limited, an over lay ball field and soccer area could be accommodated. He noted that these would be undersized facilities. Commission member Carroll stated that screening of the commercial area of the highway would be very important to this park's plan. After additional discussion regarding the parks and its elements, on a motion by Carroll, seconded by Sames, staff was directed to proceed with the two parks plans for construction documents. Adv. Parks & Rec. Comm. March 5, 1987 Page Seven OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS Director of Parks and Recreation Vraa reviewed items under the "Other and Reports" section of the agenda. He asked the Commission if it woulJ interested in having a joint Commission meeting with the Commissions of Burnsville and Apple Valley.

Director Vraa stated that he had negotiated an addendum to the contract with Schwarz-Weber Architects for the 1987 building construction and arch-'`._,ct;.~r-,l program. Because of this program being expanded from two to four bull and the work load of the department, he felt it would be advisable to use architectural firm rather than staff.

M c' the Commission expressed support for this concept. The Director next explained the contractual arrangement the City had with Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District for enactment of erosion control measures.

The parcel c` land consisting of approximately .98 acre located on the west side of Dodd Road and just north of Golden Meadow Road is now a vacant lot. We have been given notice that a Public Hearing is scheduled for March 24, 1987 for consideration of an application submitted by Dunn Real Estate for this parcel of land. We would propose that the above-described vacant lot be utilized for a community park. Our development currently lacks a park and recreation area for the many children in our neighborhood. The map issued by the City of Eagan for calendar year 1987 locates the forty existing park sites in. the city. According to this map, there are three parks within one mile of Overview Estates. Of these three, #32 South Oaks and #33 Lakeside are approximately one-half mile from Overview Estates. These two parks are inaccessible to children as they are on the east side of heavily traveled Dodd Road. The remaining park #31 Trapp Farm is also approximately one-half mile away. This park is only , ,cessible by way of Wilderness Run Road. Theref ore, ch' I would have to travel along Dodd Road. It should be noied that in computing the above distances, they were measured "as the crow flies", not the actual distance which would have to be traveled for access. In conclusion, we support the proposal for an area park in our neighborhood and ask that you give this matter your sincere consideration. SIGNATURE ADDRESS tl { SIGH .'T'Ri ADDR ;i CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICANT: DUNN REAL ESTATE LOCATION: NW4 SECTION 25 EXISTING ZONING: R--1 (WITHIN LEXINGTON SOUTH PD) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MARCH 24, 1987 DATE OF REPORT: MARCH 16, 1987 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT APPLICATION: An application has been submitted requesting a Prelim- inary Plat for the Overview 2nd Addition. This plat consists of one .98 acre lot on Outlot A, Overview Estates Replat. This site is lo- cated on the west side of Dodd Road just north of Golden Meadow Road. The area to the west and south is R-1 (Overview Estates Replat) and the R-1 (Haeg Addition) Outlot is to the north. That plat, approved in July 1985, called for 8 single family lots on approximately five acres - built in 2 phases. The first phase was for 4 lots abutting Hackmore Drive on the north and an Outlot (Phase 2) on the south. A condition of approval stated that the driveway entrances for Phase 2 shall be constructed so that lots 1 and 2 have a common driveway and lots 3 and 4 have a common driveway to Dodd Road. The subject lot has 130 feet of frontage where the 4 proposed lots in the Haeg Add- ition are 91 feet wide. The land is open and falls gently to the northwest. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water service stubs 'have been provided to the property line of this proposed lot. The service stubs are of sufficient size and depth to provide adequate service to the lot. GRADING AND DRAINAGE: The lot currently drains to the northwest across the existing residential development abutting the west side of the lot, and then to the existing catch basins on Stirrup Street. The proposed development offers no adverse affect to the existing drainage patterns. The limited amount of extra storm water runoff that will be generated from the addition of one single family house is not significant. STREETS /DINAGE: The proposed lot will have its driveway access onto Dodd Road and this access should be allowed. Dodd Road is on the City's municipal state aid street system but has not been upgraded to state aid standards. Dodd Road is currently a 34 ft. wide street with bituminous curb. In the future, it will be upgraded to a 44 ft. wide street with concrete curb and gutter. The abutting properties along Dodd Road will be assessed for the improvements to the street. Municipal state aid funds will also be used to pay for a portion of the upgrading of Dodd Road. EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAYS: The appropriate common side and rear lot line drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated. A 50 ft. half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Dodd Road. ASSESSMENTS: The property proposed to be platted under this application was assessed for the following improvements: PROJECT # DESCRIPTION USAGE 241 Dodd Road (Restoration) S.F. 278A Water Area S.F. 278A Sanitary Sewer Trunk S.F. 278A Storm Sewer Trunk S.F. There are no pending assessments against the property. The following are the proposed assessments for this plat: Prod. # Description Usage Rate Quantity t, 241 Dodd Rd.

SUBJECT PARCEL FIG" +3 City of eagan WATER approved : plate standard PUBLIC WORKS T co DEPARTMEN MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION DATE: MARCH 27, 1987 RE: BRITTANY TENTH ADDITION BACKGROUND The City has received a preliminary plat for Brittany Tenth Addition consisting of 31 lots and 17.5 acres in Park Service Section No. 33. Park Section 33 is to be serviced by a future park of approximately 8 - 10 acres. Four acres currently exist and were received as dedication for Walden Heights Plat. ISSUES This proposed single-family development is a portion of the "Brown property" which the City has anticipated would be a land dedication. Staff is concerned that if, this development is allowed to proceed with a cash dedication requirement, a continual parceling of the remaining Brown property must preclude the City from receiving a land dedication of sufficient size to complete the designated neighborhood park. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS The Director of Parks & Recreation is recommending to the Advisory Commission the condition of this plat be that an appropriate land parcel of 10% or 1.75 acres be dedicated as an out lot adjacent to the existing park. Without such a land dedication, the City runs a risk of having the Brown parcel being developed in segments precluding a total land dedication of the size necessary for this neighborhood park. FOR COMMISSION ACTION To review the proposed Brittany Tenth Addition for recommendation of the parks dedication requirement. Respectfully s bmitted, /cto~_r_of All DParks & Recreation KV/af CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT (BRITTANY 10TH ADDN. APPLICANT: BRITTANY ESTATES, INC. LOCATION: NE 1/4, SECTION 31 EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURE) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MARCH 26, 1987 DATE OF REPORT: MARCH 12, 1987 REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING APPLICATION: Two separate applications have been submitted requesting a Rezoning of 17.5 (A) Agricultural acres to an R-1 (Single Family) district and a Preliminary Plat for the Brittany 10th Addition. This plat contains 31 lots and is located along Covington Lane just east of Beacon Hill Road. This plat is consistent with the 'Comprehensive Guide Plan that designates this area as D-1 (0-6 units/acre). HISTORY: The previous August 1986 proposal for Brittany 10th was for 180 lots on 99 acres extending north to Cliff Road. That application was amended to 130 lots on the southerly 59 acres of the site. The APC recommended continuance of the proposal in order to schedule a neighborhood meeting to address the questions and opinions of the surrounding property owners. The applications were withdrawn at the developer's request before any formal action was taken. The revised site plan is nearly identical to that portion of the previous submittal. ZONING & LAND USE: All lots exceed the 12,000 s.f. 85' width at the setback line and 50' minimum curb line requirements. The lots range in size from 13,500 s.f. to 34,000 s.f. and average 19,082 s.f. The gross density is 1.8 units per acre. The southern cul-de-sac is 700' long and will need a variance approval from the 500' maximum length requirement. The Brittany/Beacon Hill areas are heavily wooded and contain some of the most rugged. and heavily wooded topography in Eagan. Special care should be demonstrated while tree clearing. GRADING/DRAINAGE: This proposed development consists of heavily wooded and rolling topography with steep slopes and maximum elevation differentials of 60 ft. There are several depressed low areas that will serve as ponding areas. Staff recommends that all disturbed areas have a maximum slope of 3:1. This slope is the maximum slope which is maintainable. Otherwise, the developer will have to construct retaining walls for disturbed areas with slopes exceeding 3:1. The developer is proposing to create a new storm water detention pond in the south central area of the development. The developer shall supply to the City the pond design data and the City will incorporate this pond into the City's overall storm water management system. An emergency overland outlet for this pond should be provided to the southwest through the backyards. The lowest basement elevation for any house adjacent to the pond shall be 3 ft. above the high water level of the pond. A 12" R.C.P. outlet storm drainage pipe shall be provided for the drainage of a depressed low area in the southwest corner of the development. The outlet for the low area shall be constructed to the west to Pond LP-5. An easement will be required on this plat and from lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 1, Brittany 7th Addition, for said storm sewer construction. Along the west and south edges of the development, the existing trees should be protected. The trees will serve as a buffer between the proposed development and the existing single family homes. Also, the backyard drainage patterns along the west and south edges of the development shall accommodate existing backyard drainage from the surrounding single-family homes. The proposed grading and drainage plan provides for the south half of the development draining to a new pond in the south central area of the development and then piped to Pond LP-5. The new pond will be drained by a storm sewer line that will discharge into Pond LP-5. The outlet for Pond LP-5 is'through an existing storm sewer line that goes north through the Beacon Hill Development to Pond LP-57. The north half of the development is proposed to drain to the north to Pond LP-6, which presently does not have an outlet. Pond LP-6 is also the proposed outlet for Pond LP-57 which has a maximum discharge rate of 36.3 c.f.s. The Comprehensive Plan requires a storage volume of 99.9 acre feet for Pond LP-6 and this storage volume requirement must be maintained. A pumping station and force main outlet is necessary to be constructed in conjunction with this development to provide an outlet for Pond LP-6. The pumping station will discharge the water into the existing storm sewer system within the Walden Heights subdivision and this existing storm sewer drains to the north to Thomas Lake. Pond LP-57, located in the northwest corner of this development and along the east edge of the Beacon Hill development, currently has a temporary pumping station and force main outlet into the existing storm system on Cliff Road. The temporary pumping station shall be replaced with a gravity storm sewer line from Pond LP-57 to Pond LP- 6. The construction of Pond LP-6, the gravity outlet for Pond LP-57 and the pumping station outlet for Pond LP-6 are all necessary to provide adequate drainage to this development and the surrounding drainage basin.- Because these construction items have not been authorized, this development cannot proceed until Council has authorized their installation. The proposed storm sewer line in the southwest corner of the development shall be constructed all the way to the normal water level of Pond LP-5. Also, a catch basin shall be installed on this line in the backyard area of Lot 20 to drain the backyards of Lots 7, 8 and 15 through 20. The catch basin will help to prevent storm water runoff from draining across the Beacon Hill development. Because of the rolling topography, there are some street grades that approach the City's maximum of 8%. It also appears that the development has met the 2% street grade requirement for the first 100 ft. for street intersections. Overland drainage swales shall be provided from the low points in the streets to the nearby ponds. The emergency overland drainage swales will drain along common side lot lines from the street to the outlet point. The drainage swales will provide for an emergency overland outlet for storm water runoff in case the inplace storm sewer system is unable to handle the total runoff. The emergency outlet should have an elevation no higher than 2 ft. above the elevation of the low point in the street and it should be lower than the surrounding houses. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth exists along the north edge of the development. The area is proposed to be served by the 24" trunk sanitary sewer facility that is located approximately 400 ft. north of Covington Lane., The alignment of the 8" sanitary sewer line that serves this development and connects to the existing 24" trunk sanitary sewer line shall follow the alignment of the future street stubbed to the north off Covington Lane. Based on the information shown on the preliminary utility plan,. the sanitary sewer line that will be installed along the south side of Pond LP-6 will be too shallow to serve the undeveloped area along the southeast side of the pond. The developer should prepare an overall plan and submit it to the City that shows how the undeveloped areas surrounding this development will be served by sanitary sewer. Water main of sufficient size, capacity and pressure is available and has been stubbed to this development from the surrounding developments to the west and south. The City's Water Distribution Plan requires the looping of a 16" water main from the Brittany 9th Addition area to the Hillcrest Addition's west property line. The 16" water main would go through this development, Outlot A of the Walden Heights 1st Addition, and the undeveloped area in between. The length of the 16" water main that would be required to complete the loop is approximately 1,600 ft. The Council shall authorize the installation of the 16" trunk water main prior to final plat approval unless the developer intends to install the trunk water main privately. The alignment of the 16" trunk water main should follow the alignment and final street grades of the future streets and the developer shall submit his overall street layout to the City for the undeveloped area to the east. The 8" water main within the Beacon Hill development on Covington Lane shall be extended to the southeast through this development to connect to the proposed 16" water main on Sherwood Way. The developer's utility plan showed this line as a 16" line, but an 8" line is large enough to serve this residential development. This 8" water main is not considered a trunk water main. It is considered a lateral necessary to serve this development plus the undeveloped areas to the north and east as the areas are developed in phases. The future lots along the north side of the proposed Covington Lane will all require sanitary sewer and water services to be provided to them as a part of this development. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Access to the proposed development is readily available through the existing residential developments to the west and south. This development will improve street circulation for the homes in the Brittany 3rd, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Additions by providing an access from the north to these areas and eliminating a long dead-enc street system on Sherwood Way. This development proposes to connect Sherwood Way along the south end of the development with Covington Lane along the west end of the development. The street layout also includes two cul-de-sacs which are necessary because of the rugged topography and dense woodlands. Covington Lane in the Beacon Hill development is classified as a neighorhood collector street with a 5 ft. sidewalk along the north side. Therefore, the extension of Covington Lane through this development shall be constructed to the standards of a neighborhood collector street with a 5 ft. sidewalk. This street oversizing requirement should be the full responsibility of this development. The future street to the north from Covington Lane will be located between Ponds LP-57 and LP-6. At least 10 ft. of fill will be necessary to construct the street between the ponds and the fill will encroach into the natural ponding area of Pond LP-6. In order to maintain the storage volumes that are necessary for the two ponds, plus construct a new street between the ponds, it may not be possible to have buildable lots along the future street in the area between the ponds. The City will require that a new access street be constructed from Cliff Road tothe south and to this proposed plat to eliminate complaints from existing residential property owner due to the construction activity generated by this new development. EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS: The ponding easement for Pond LP-6, along the northeast edge of this development, shall be dedicated to 027 incorprate 99.9 acre-feet of storage volume. Also, the ponding easement for Pond LP-57, along the northwest edge of this development, shall be dedicated. An easement needs to be dedicated for the proposed gravity storm sewer line from Pond LP-57 to Pond LP-6. Also, an easement shall be dedicated for the proposed lift station #21 and the 8" force main that will serve as the outlet for Pond LP-6. The alignment of the easement for the proposed force main shall follow the alignment of the future streets wherever possible. The future lots along the north side of proposed Covington Lane will have their backyards abutting Pond LP-57 or Pond LP-6. The plat shall show the lot lines going all the way to the ponds and the ponding easements shall be shown on the plat. The new pond that will be created in the southeast portion of the development shall have a ponding easement dedicated for the area of the pond to its high water level. Additional common side and rear lot utility easements will be necessary based on the final storm sewer layout. Also, this development shall dedicate sufficient drainage easements to incorporate the required overland drainge swales as defined by the final approved grading plan. This development shall be responsible for dedicating an 80 ft. right-of-way for Covington Lane in the area where the street will be the neighorhood collector street. The remaining section of Covington Lane plus the other internal streets shall have a 60 ft. right-of-way. This development shall also be responsible for dedicating a minimum 20 ft. utility easement over any public utilities not installed within public right-of-way. In areas where the utilities are greater than 20 ft. deep, the easement width shall be increased to a minimum of 30 ft. No unusual permit requirements are anticipated beyond the normal MPCA, MWCC and Dept. of Health review for sanitary sewer and water extensions. PLAT: The developer shall plat all the property south of Cliff Road, east of Beacon Hill and west of Walden Heights as an outlet and all the necessary easements shall be provided and shown on the plat. A proposed final grading plan shall be submitted for ponding areas LP-6 and LP-57. This plan shall indicate the normal water elevations, the high water elevations and shall provide for the required acre feet of storm water storage volume. GRADING/DRAINAGE & SOIL EROSION CONTROL PLAN: See attached letter from the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District for requirements and recommendations. ASSESSMENTS: This property will be responsible for water area and storm sewer trunk area assessments at the rate in effect at the time of final plat approval. The estimated areas and 1987 rate is calculated as follows: ITEM RATE Water Area 18 acres $1,250/acre $25,000.00 Storm Sewer Trunk Area 748,080 sf 0.053 41,556.24 16" Lateral Benefit From Trunk Water Main 500 if 24.94 12,470.00 $76,526.24 Note: This developer has petitioned for trunk storm sewer. The adjacent benefitting properties will be assessed a trunk area assessment and these costs will be identified in a feasibility report. The City will require that a 16" water main loop be constructed through this project from Sherwood Way of the Brittany 9th Addition to the east. The adjacent benefitting properties will be assessed for a trunk area assessment and a lateral benefit from trunk water main and these costs will be identified in a feasibility report. ell CONDITIONS: BRITTANY 10TH[ ADDITION 1. This development shall comply with all applicabale standard engineering conditions. 2. All utility and drainage easements shall be dedicated as referenced in this staff report. 3.

With this will come the opening of Covington Lane to the east of Beacon Hill Road. As the land east of Beacon Hill becomes completely developed, residents of Ridge Cliff and Beacon Hill will notice a dramatic increase of traffic throughout their neighborhood. Safety for our children will decline with this traffic. There will also be an increase in noise from vehicles. This may make the area less desirable resulting in lower value for our homes. It does not have to be this way. We CAN fight city hall on this. It is possible to keep Covington closed and still provide another means of access for Brittany. A road serving this area could come in off of Pilot Knob Road from the east. `"here is undeveloped land that would allow this without disturbing existing neighborhoods. This may not be CONVENIENT for the city, but let's do what's best for our neighborhood. SHOW UP AND BE HEARD. JN2 -A MA9 7r V 0% . MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION DATE: MARCH 27, 1987 RE: HIDDEN VALLEY ADDITION A preliminary plat application has been received for the proposed Hidden Valley Addition which consists of twenty-five lots on 14.5 acres west of Pilot Knob Road, south of the Eagan Municipal Center site. This 17-acre parcel was once reviewed by department staff for possible athletic field application. In proposing this plat, the developer has met with staff to review a possible land dedication of 2.15 acres. This dedication would be adjacent to an existing park previously received as dedication in the Wind Crest Addition. (During review of the packet materials, it was noted that the parcel identified as "Outlot B drainage pond" is parkland received by the City with the replat of Birch Park Addition.) Therefore, the proposed dedication in this plat is adjacent to and contiguous with existing parkland. Staff has only been able to do a perusal of the property to determine its value for parks purposes. The area outside of the pipeline easement has some significant oak woods and mature trees. As opposed to the lowland areas commonly given, this is a high point and could offer a unique perspective of the area with linkage to a trail system. STAFF DISCUSSION While this proposed dedication is not idealy situated, it does provide some unique opportunities, passive useage, trail linkage, and conservation purposes. For this reason, staff is suggesting the 2.5 acres as fulfillment of one-half of the required dedication. The remainder of the dedication requirement would be fulfilled through a cash dedication equivalent to one- half the normal cash amount for the lots platted. In addition, a trailway on Pilot Knob Road would be the responsibility of the developer. FOR COMMISSION ACTION To review the proposed plat entitled Hidden Valley Addition for a parks dedication requirement. Respectfully submted, Dir cto of Parks & Recreation KV/mc CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT (HIDDEN VALLEY) APPLICANT: GRAHAM DEVELOPMENT CO. LOCATION: NW4 SECTION 22 EXISTING ZONING: R-1 (SINGLE FAMILY) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MARCH 26, 1987 DATE OF REPORT: MARCH 16, 1987 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION: An application has been submitted by the Graham Develop- ment Company requesting a Preliminary Plat for Hidden Valley. This plat consists of 25 lots on 14.8 R-1 zoned acres just south of City Hall. LAND USE: Except for a farmstead near the southwest portion of the site, this parcel is in its native condition. That farmstead will be removed with this development. A low ponding area near the southcentral portion of the site approximately 50 feet below a high point at the southeast corner of the site demonstrate the great grade differential in this proposal. The hillsides especially near the ponding area are covered with oaks and native understory plant material. The 100 foot wide William's Brothers Pipeline Easement crosses this plat in a northeasterly manner near the eastern edge of the site. The 1.9 acres to the east of that line to the eastern property line is proposed for parks dedication adjacent to Windcrest Park and a drainage pond. Skovdale Additions are to the north and south. Across Pilot Knob Road to the west are undeveloped agricultural parcels. SITE PLAN: This site is served by a single access from Pilot Knob Rd. near the.existing farmstead access. Hidden Valley Drive is stubbed to the north so that a connection could be made to unimproved Rocky Lane in the future. A variance will be needed now for the cul-de-sacs; The longest being almost 900 feet in length. There is no other al- ternative to serve this site. All lots exceed the 12,000 square foot and 85 feet width at the setback line requirements. They range in size from 12,600 - 47,700 square feet with most between 13 - 23,000 square feet. GRADING AND DRAINAGE: This proposed development consists of lightly wooded and rolling topography. Pilot Knob Road is along the west side of the development and is approximately 30 to 40 feet higher than the majority of the development. The rolling topography of the site makes it difficult to develop without disturbing a majority of the site. The low area in the south-central portion, and the east 300 feet of the site that slopes to Pond JP-6, will not be disturbed by this development. The developer has attempted to fit the layout of the street and the lots to the existing topography. Even so, some areas will require 20 feet of fill and other areas will require 20 feet of cut. Staff recommends that the grading plan in the area around Lots 2 and 3 of Block 2 should be revised. The houses on Lots 2 and 3 should not be walkouts and the hill in the back yard of the two lots should not be disturbed. The developer proposes to cut a drainage swale through the back yards of Lots 2 and 3 to provide for an overland outlet for the low area in the southwest corner of the development, but since a storm sewer line has been proposed to drain the low area, then the cutting of the drainage swale will not be necessary. The majority of the drainage from this development will be handled by the proposed storm sewer system that follows Hidden Valley Drive from Pilot Knob Road to Pond JP-6, The landlocked low area in the south-central portion of the site and the low area along the north property line shall have outlets provided through the proposed storm sewer system. Pond JP-6 was designed to handle the runoff from this development and this pond has a gravity storm sewer outlet to the east to Pond JP-49. When Pilot Knob Road is upgraded, the County will be installing a storm sewer line on Pilot Knob Road that will discharge into the proposed storm sewer system that will follow Hidden Valley Drive through this development. The storm sewer line from Pilot Knob Road to the east shall be designed to handle the flow from the storm sewer line on Pilot Knob Road plus the runoff that will be generated from this development and the adjoining properties to the north and south that drain to this development. Based on current information, the storm sewer line draining east from Pilot Knob Road should handle 41 cfs and the storm sewer line as it discharges into Pond JP-6 should handle 60 cfs. An overland drainage swale shall be provided from the low point on Hidden Valley Drive to the low area along the south side of the street. The emergency overland outlet will drain along common side lot lines from the street to the low area. The elevation of the overland outlet shall be no higher than two feet above the elevation of the low point in the street and the elevation shall be lower than the surrounding houses, UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service is not immediately available to serve this development. The developer proposes to install approximately 1200 feet of 8" sanitary sewer installed from Hidden Valley Road to the east to an existing lift station located on the east side of Pond JP-6 in order to serve this development. The alignment of the 1200 feet of sanitary sewer will be in an easement or in the city park that surrounds Pond JP-6. The sanitary sewer will be a difficult line to install because some sections will be 25 feet deep and another section is proposed to cross a narrow area of Pond JP-6. Also, the sanitary sewer line will be below the water table in some sections and the soils will be unstable in the area around the pond. The existing lift station was designed to serve this development. If the additional sanitary sewer line is installed to provide service to this development, then the developer's preliminary utility plan is acceptable. The sanitary sewer layout shall include an 8" stub to the north property line of this development to serve the Skovdale No. 2 development and an 8" stub to the east right-of-way line of Pilot Knob Road. The 8" line at Pilot Knob Road shall be extended across Pilot Knob Road when the County improves the road in 1987 or 1988. The 8" line that will cross Pilot Knob Road will serve approximately 15 acres of undeveloped area along the west side of Pilot Knob Road. Water service for this development of adequate pressure and capacity is available by connecting to the existing 16" watermain on the west side of Pilot Knob Road. Staff recommends that the connection to the existing 16"" watermain should be with an 8" watermain rather than a 6" watermain. The 8" watermain should be continued along Hidden Valley Drive to Hidden Valley Road where the size should change to a 6" diameter line. The 8" watermain is recommended to increase the supply because this water supply system will be a dead end system of 900 feet. A 6" watermain shall be installed on Hidden Valley Road to the north property line of this development. The 6" watermain could provide service to the Skovdale No. 2 development if that development decided to connect to the City's water supply system. If the 6" watermain ever is installed in the Skovdale No. 2 development, then it should loop around to the north and west and connect to the existing 16" watermain on Pilot Knob Road to eliminate the dead end system in the Hidden Valley development. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Access to this development will be provided by Pilot Knob Road which is proposed to be upgraded to a four lane design with trailways on both sides during 1987 and 1988. Only one access will be allowed onto Pilot Knob Road from this development and the location of the access point fits the topography of the site.- Because of the topography, this development is proposing two cul-de-sacs. A stub street is provided in the center of the development to the north property line to provide for future street upgrading of Rocky Lane in the Skovdale No. 2 development. Currently, Rocky Lane is a private, narrow street that is a dead end and its length is approximately 1200 feet. Since the Hidden Valley Drive street system is a dead end with a length of approximately 900 feet, staff has recommended that the two street systems be connected to provide for a loop. This development has proposed to provide the stub street to the north, but the connection will not be made until the residents of Skovdale No. 2 petition the City to have Rocky Lane improved to a public street. The developer has proposed a 10% street grade on Hidden Valley Drive on the descending grade that goes east from Pilot Knob Road and also on the ascending grade for the cul-de-sac at the east end of the development. Since the City's standard for maximum street grades is at 8%, staff recommends that the developer revise the grading plan to conform to the 8% maximum street grade. Also, the developer shall meet the City's standard of a 2% street grade requirement for the first 100 feet for street intersections. EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAYS: A 60 foot half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Pilot Knob Road or Dakota County Highway 31. Also, because of the potential grading required to rebuild Pilot Knob Road staff recommends this development provide a 20' slope easement adjacent the westerly boundary of this proposed development. The internal streets shall provide a 60 foot right-of-way and the cul-de-sacs shall have a minimum radius of 55 feet to the right-of- way line. No slope easements are anticipated from the adjacent private properties to the north and south. A 30 foot wide combined utility easement shall be dedicated over the proposed sanitary sewer line and storm sewer line that should follow the north property line from Hidden Valley Road to the east property line. In areas where the utilities are greater than 20 feet deep, then the easement width shall be increased. PERMITS: This development will be responsible for obtaining the following permits prior to final plat approval: 1. MPCA sewer extension permit. 2. Mn. Dept. of Health water main extension permit. 3. Dakota County Highway access and work within County right-of- way permit. 4. Construction of the sanitary sewer and storm sewer across the east end of the development will require the acquisition of a permit from the Williams Brothers Pipeline Company. ASSESSMENTS: The following assessments have been levied against the proposed development: Project Description Use 88 Sanitary Seweca Trunk S.F. 88 Water Area S.F. 411 Storm Sewer Trunk S.F. (a) 3.6 acres of the total The proposed development is subject to pending assessments resulting from Project #466 - Pilot Knob Road upgrade.

CONDITIONS FOR HIDDEN VALLEY: 1. Staff recommends that the grading plans in the area of Lots 2 and 3, Block 2 be revised to eliminate the drainage swale in their.respective back yards. 2. The land locked low area in the south-central portion of the site and the low area along the north property shall have outlets provided through the proposed storm sewer. 3. The proposed storm sewer shall be sized to handle the appropriate drainage areas. 4. An alternative to installing the 1200 feet of gravity sewer to the existing lift station on the east side of Pond JP-6 may be installing a lift station on the Hidden Valley property. The feasibility of this lift station will have to be explored in depth. The lift station would then be sized to serve the Hidden Valley development and the adjacent Skovdale No. 2 property. 5. Street and utility stubs shall be provided to the appropriate adjacent properties. 6. Staff recommends an 8" water main rather than a 6" water main. 7. The appropriate right-of-way and right of access shall be dedicated for CSAH 31 in accordance with Dakota County recommendations. See Exhibit A. 8. Staff recommends that the grading plan be revised to adhere to ~gsr' the 8% maximum street grade criteria. Also, the 2% maximum entrance grade criteria shall be adhered to. A 20 foot slope easement is recommended along Pilot Knob Road. 10. All appropriate utility, easements shall be obtained and :dedicated. 11. This development shall be responsible for obtaining all appropriate permits prior to final plat approval. 12. All standard platting conditions shall be adhered to. 13. An erosion/sediment control plan in accordance with SWCD shall be provided. See Exhibit B. l4. A variance shall be granted for the cul-de-sac in excess of 500 feet. 15- This plat shall be subject to the recommendations of the Advisory Park and Recreation Commission.

The regulations state: "Pending review after one year, use by the general public will be limited to special event reservations rather than regularly scheduled meetings." Review was made in 1985 and direction given was to continue to follow the original regulation. UPDATE ON REQUESTS FOR USE BY THE PUBLIC During the two years since the last review, staff has been approached by girl and boy scout troups and 4-H groups inquiring regarding a weekly meeting site. In addition, approximately 10 new churches have inquired whether the Community Room is available for weekly worship services. Current policy does not allow consecutive use of a facility by the same group. USE PATTERNS The Community Room is primarily used by City departments. The Fire Department holds meetings on six or seven evenings each month. Parks & Recreation programs such as Dog Obedience and babysitting clinics add another four to eight evenings each month. Other recreation programs in the Community Room are held during daytime hours. Use by the public is primarily as a site for homeowners association meetings or for neighborhood meetings by planned developments. On average, one such meeting occurs each month on weekday evenings. Over the course of the last three years, use of the Community Room on weekends has been: Parks & Recreation for special events, sport team managers' meetings and coaches clinics. The Fire & Police Departments have held one special event each annually. Other than the usages mentioned above, there have been infrequent requests to use the Community Room on consecutive meeting days. ISSUE Mission churches, upon learning that the Community Room is unavailable, inquire about the availability of the Trapp Farm and Goat Hill shelter buildings. It is anticipated that the inquiries will grow to include the Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Quarry shelter buildings when they are completed. It is appropriate then, at this time, to review the regulations for the Community Room and address use of park shelter buildings for regular use by the general public, for extended periods of perhaps one year or other established time frame. DISCUSSION Each of the four park shelter buildings have "seasonal aspects" to their programmed use. During those seasons, whether the program is skating, sliding or picnics, the building is in use either seven days each week or on weekends. However, there could be "short term" (10-15 week) periods in which the building could be used without conflict to departmental programs. These would typically be A.M. hours only. At issue with mission churches, in addition to Sunday morning use, are requests for Wednesday evening services or church functions. Insurance is an additional aspect that the City must address for groups in a longer term "lease" of a public facility. Of importance also is the basic philosophy of why the shelter buildings were built. City programs are important, however, the needs of the community, the practice of providing service to the public, and the timely review of regulations and practice in a changing environment, are also key. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Recognizing that there are several issues to address, staff is suggesting that a change in regulations and practice for use by the public for the Community Room and the park shelter buildings be made. In that City use of these facilities is seasonal, short term usage of three months duration would seem to be possible. Staff is further suggesting that the rental fees recently adopted are appropriate. FOR COMMISSION ACTION To recommend: a) continued practice of current regulations for the use of the Community Room and extend those regulations to the park shelter buildings. b) Amend the current regulations to allow short-term public use of the Community Room and extend that regulations to park shelter buildings. DP/is EAGAN ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING EAGAN ARBOR FESTIVITIES The Eagan Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission recognizes that Trees were a significant attraction to Minnesota's settlers because of-their usefulness and the beauty they provided; and that Trees are a most valuable resource in Minnesota and Eagan today - purifying our air and water, helping conserve our soil and energy, serving as recreational settings, providing habitat for wildlife of all kinds, and enriching our lives in so many important ways; and that Pollutants, insects, diseases, and urban expansion have damaged and continued to threaten our trees, creating the need for reforestation programs and concerted public action toward ensuring the future of our City's urban forest resources; and that Each year the people of Minnesota pay special attention to the wonderful gift that our trees represent and dedicate themselves to the continued health of our state's stock of trees; In the spirit of the Arbor tradition the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission does hereby proclaim the last Saturday in April to be ARBOR DAY and the month of May to be ARBOR MONTH in the City of Eagan, The Commission also urges citizens to become more aware of the importance of trees to the well-being of our City and State; and to participate in City tree planting programs which will ensure a greener place to live in the decades to come. MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION DATE: MARCH 27, 1987 RE: 1988 LAWCON/LCMR APPLICATION - BLACKHAWK PARK Staff has recently received the appliation materials for the 1988 Lawcon/LCMR grants program. Although there are many uncertainties regarding the next fiscal year program, staff is recommending that the City complete a grant application for the development of Blackhawk Park. The application deadline is May 4. If staff is to proceed with this application, it would be appropriate for the Advisory Commission to make a recommendation to the City Council that an application be submitted for the development of Blackhawk Park, This project has been reviewed by the Advisory Commission and has been deemed the highest priority in the City's parks program. Respectfully, submitted, Director of Parks & Recreation KV/mc TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: MARCH 25, 1987 RE: CONSENT AGENDA - APRIL 2ND There are six items for approval and recommendation under the Consent Agenda.

CITY OF GAN SUBJECT: REZONING, COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT, AND PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR EAGAN WOODHAVEN ADDN. PLICANT: EAGAN WOODHAVEN PARTNERSHIP (D. H. GUSTAFSON) LOCATION: NWQ SECTION 14 EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: 26 MARCH 1987 DATE OF REPORT: 17 MARCH 1987 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING APPLICATION: Separate applications have been submitted requesting a rezoning of 5 Agricultural acres to an R-4 (multiple) district and Preliminary Plat for the Eagan Woodhaven Addition. This plat consists of 64 rental apartment units on the old dog pound site along Lexington Ave. south of the Carriage Green Apartments. To the north and west are Lexington Place Additions and O'Leary Park is on the other side of Lexington Ave. The January 1987 Land Use Map designates this area D-IV multiple, 12 plus units/acre. This plat with 12.8 units/acres is consistant with that plan. SITE PLAN: These rental units are very similar to the Forest Ridge Apartments along Duckwood Drive and Denmark Avenue., Of the 64 units, 48 will have one bedroom and the remaining 16 will be efficiencies. All have covered individual garages with automatic openers. 48 units will have garages directly attached to the apartment. The others are approximately 75 feet from the apartment unit. One access from Lexington Ave. will serve the four 16. unit buildings That drive will be lined up with the one proposed for O'Leary Lake Park on the west side of Lexington Ave. These walkout type buildings match the existing topogrophy quite well. It generally falls to all sides from a high point near the center of the site. The southeastern area is heavily wooded and provides a nice buffer to the Lexington Square Additions. The proposed Landscape plan emphasizes the use of native plant material and exceeds all City Standards. The design goal was to re-create the natural conditions thru mass plantings and by using a common plant species association. The building will have brick on the bottom and rough cedar on the top. They will be approx. half as long as the Forest Ridge buildings. Code requires oneparking stall enclosed and an addition- al exterior space in R-4 districts - this has been provided. This plan differs from the Forest Ridge Project in that the exterior stalls are not in front of the garages. This eliminates 'snowbirds' in the plowing areas, the potential parking in front of another tennants garage and confusion for users with two cars. In order to provide for safe backing out of the garage movement, an additional 6 ft was added*to the drive lane width. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth is readily available to serve this development through an existing 8" sanitary sewer line. The line was installed through the Lexington Place lst Addition to the south property line of the proposed Eagan Woodhaven development. The developer proposes to serve the four sixteen-unit apartment buildings with an 8" sanitary sewer and 6" sanitary sewer service lines to each building. Water service to this development is readily available through the existing 18" water main located along the west side of Lexington Avenue. A 4" water main is also available on the east side of this development in the Lexington Place 2nd Addition and a 6" water main is available near the northeast corner of the development in the Stuarts 1st Addition. All three of these existing water mains shall be connected by this development to provide an improved water distribution system to this development and the surrounding developments. The additional water main that is required to provide the connections to the existing 4" water main to the east and to the existing 6" water main to the northeast is approximately 500 ft. The additional water main will improve the water pressure and the fire protection capabilities for the water main system that serves this multiple residential area. GRADING/ DINAGE: This proposed development is located on the top of a hill with drainage to all sides. The elevation differential from the top of the hill to Pond DP-18 is about 40 ft., and this slope is along the southeast corner of the development. The grade of this slope is approximately 3:1. This slope is wooded and contains a dense grass cover that prevents erosion. The north half of the development currently drains to the north across the Carriage Green Apartment Complex in the Stuarts lst Addition. The elevation differential from the top of the hill to the north property line is about 15 ft. This gentle slope also contains a dense grass cover--that prevents erosion. The proposed grading plan will match the existing grades on the site as much as possible. The maximum cut will be about 10 ft. at the top of the hill with the grades matching at the rear portions of the proposed buildings. Therefore, the majority of the grading work will be at the top of the hill and the side slopes will be preserved. - Approximately the north 70 ft. of the development will drain to the north to the Carriage Green Apartment Complex. This 70 ft. strip will include the rear portions of the two north buildings plus the grass and landscaped areas along the north property line. In order to limit the runoff of eroded materials to the abutting property to the north, the developer should protect as much of the existing dense grass cover as possible. In the southeast corner of the development, the existing grass cover and trees should be protected as much as possible to keep this 3:1 slope from eroding into Pond DP-18. The center portion of this development which includes the parking lots and the fronts of the buildings will drain to the proposed catch basins and storm sewer line that will discharge to an existing 15" storm sewer facility. The existing 15" storm sewer facility serves as the outlet for O'Leary Lake and empties into Pond DP-18. The storm water runoff that will be generated from this development can be handled by the existing 15" facility and Pond DP-18. Pond DP-18 has a gravity storm sewer outlet that carries the water north to Pond DP-10. A culvert shall be required under the driveway to carry the storm water runoff north along the east side of Lexington Avenue, a two- lane rural section roadway. This development will not substantially increase the quantity of runoff that currently drains to the ditch. The culvert and the ditch system will be replaced when Lexington Avenue is upgraded to a four-lane urban section roadway with storm sewer. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Access to this proposed development is readily available from Lexington Avenue. The Dakota County Highway Department maintains jurisdiction over Lexington Avenue and they propose to upgrade it to a four-lane minor arterial collector street with left turn lanes in 1988 or 1989. The County Highway Department will allow accesses onto Lexington Avenue every one-eighth of a mile or every 660 ft. Therefore, only one access will be allowed in between Town Centre Drive/Golfview Drive and Duckwood Trail. The location of the new access should be equal distance between the two above mentioned intersections. The location that the developer proposes for the access onto Lexington Avenue is at the correct location for being equal distance from the intersections to the north and south. The City's Park Department is preparing a layout for the O'Leary Lake Park improvements. The park will be on the west side of Lexington Avenue and north of O'Leary Lake. The Park Department is proposing to construct a new driveway to serve the park that will connect to Lexington Avenue at the same location of the driveway that will serve this development. The proposed access point onto Lexington Avenue is near the high point on Lexington Avenue. The sight distance and visibility is good to the south and fair to the north at the proposed access point. When Lexington Avenue is upgraded, then the sight distances will be improved to 55 M.P.H. design standards. This development proposes to construct a 30 ft. wide street opening onto Lexington Avenue that will serve the parking lots and driveways for the four apartment buildings. The street grades and circulation patterns appear to meet the City's standards. T RAILWAYS: Because of the designation of Lexington Avenue as a minor arterial roadway, City policy will require a trailway along both sides of Lexington Avenue. The trailway portion adjacent the westerly border of this property will be the responsibility of this development. Because the actual installation of this trailway will not be until 1988 or 1989, staff recommends this development prepay for the trailway installation. PERMITS: This development will be responsible for obtaining the following permits prior to final plat approval: 1) MPCA sewer extension permit. 2) Mn. Dept. of Health water main extension permit. 3) Dakota County Hwy. access and work within County right-of- way permit. RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS: Staff recommends this development dedicate a 60 ft. half right-of-way for Lexington Avenue. Also, because of the potential grading required to rebuild Lexington Avenue, staff recommends this development provide a 20' slope easement adjacent the westerly boundary of this proposed development. The ponding easement for Pond DP-18, in the southeast corner of the development, shall be dedicated to incorporate the maximum storage volume necessary to handle a 100-year rainfall event. A 20 ft. utility easement shall be dedicated over the proposed 8" sanitary sewer line. Also, a 20 ft. utility easement shall be dedicated over the proposed 6" water mains up to and including all the hydrants but not including the service lines to the buildings. A 30 ft. wide combined utility easement is required when the proposed water main and sanitary sewer lines are parallel and 10 ft. apart. A maintenance agreement shall be executed to cover the common use of the proposed driveways that will serve the four different apartment buildings. Since the potential exists for four possible ownerships, the proper easements for ingress and egress shall be dedicated prior to final plat approval. ASSESSMENTS: There are no pending assessments against the proposed preliminary plat parcel. The following assessments were levied: PROJECT # DESCRIPTION USAGE 58 Sanitary Sewer Trunk S.F. 387 Sanitary Sewer Lateral Benefit S.F. 58 Water Lateral Benefit S.F. 58 Water Area S.F. 387 Storm Sewer Trunk (Large Lot) S.F.

APPLICANT: Dallas Development LOCATION: SEQ Section 18 EXISTING ZONING: LI (Light Industrial) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: 26 March 1987 DATE OF REPORT: 18 March 1987 REPORTED BY: Planning & Engineering APPLICATION: Separate applications have been submitted By Dallas Development Company, owners of the Silver Bell Plaza, re,aesting a Preliminary Plat for a 103,000 SF office/showroom, an automotive service center of approx. 11,000 SF and a 10,000 SF restaurant attached to a retail area of 16,100 SF. The Conditional Use Permit is for a car wash, motor fuel sales and potentially for on sale wine and 3.2 beer sales. This 13.68 are site is along the west side of Hwy 13 and north of Silver Bell Road. ZONING: The main planning issue with this plat is' the request for supportive retail use. LI districts do not have retail type uses listed as permitted or conditional use items. To allow this project to be built in its current form either amending the Code to allow a percent of supportive retail use or permitting certain retail uses would be necessary., Another alternative would be to re-zone a portion of this site to a commercial district that would permit retail use. The restaurant will require a separate liquor license. The applicant feels there is a need for supportive retail since this proposal and the Silver Bell Plaza contain approx. 245,000 SF of building area. The percentage of requested retail area for the two projects is 6.5% of the total building area of both projects. Also Hwy 13 acts as a barrier for pedestrian use - especially in the winter months. The area to the west is an undeveloped R-4 parcel which could add hundreds of residents to the immediate area. Some NB type use would then be available for those tennants as well as those people who work west of Hwy 13. If the plan were approved as is, all parking numbers and setbacks would meet Code requirements. GRADING/ DINAGE: During the construction of the Cedar Avenue Freeway, MnDot used this development and the abutting property to the northwest as a borrow site, consequently, the area was lowered approximately 20 ft. Currently, the graded area is fairly flat with a slight grade to the northwest. Also, there is a steep bank along the east property line. The natural grades are 20' - 30' higher on the east side of this property in comparison to the cut in comparison to the cut areas on the west side. The preliminary grading plan submitted by the developer proposes to install a series of retaining walls along the east property line that will be from 6' to 16' high. Staff recommends against the use of the retaining walls along the east property and would prefer that the developer obtain a slope easement across the abutting properties and regrade the area to match the elevations of this development. The final grading plan should show the existing contours and the proposed contours for at least 200 ft. of the adjoining property. The proposed contours should be designed to match the elevations of this development to allow the adjoining properties to develop effectively. The retaining wall along the south property -.line of this development is necessary to protect an existing 16" water main that is located approximately 10 ft. south of the property line. The developer proposes to lower the elevations along the south property line to provide for a parking lot. The retaining wall in this area could be eliminated if 300 ft. of the existing 16" water main was lowered, or if the elevation of the parking lot could be raised to 7 ft. above the elevation of the existing water main, or if 16 parking spaces were eliminated and the area was used to slope up to the water main. The developer shall determine the exact location and elevation of the existing 16" water main to assist the designer of the retaining wall. The retaining wall shall be at least 10 ft. from the water main and the water main shall be at least 7 ft. deep after the area is graded. The developer has petitioned the City to install the storm sewer system on Kennebec Drive from Seneca Road to Silver Bell Road. This storm sewer system would be designed to handle the storm water runoff from this development plus the adjoining properties to the east and south. The storm sewer system on Kennebec Drive will drain to the west to the existing 36" storm sewer line on Silver Bell Road. The 36" line was installed by MnDot when Silver Bell Road was reconstructed in conjunction with the Cedar Avenue Freeway construction. The 36" line handles the runoff from the Silver Bell I development and drains to the north across Outlot 3 of the Silver Bell Addition. The City's consultant will be reviewing the capacity of the existing 36" line to determine if the line can handle the flow from the proposed line on Kennebec Drive. If the combined flow is too large for the existing 36" line, then another storm sewer line will need to be installed or a storm water detention pond will be required. The 36" storm sewer line shall be extended to the north to the ravine to control the erosion in Outlot 3 of the Silver Bell Addition. 53 The developer shall provide storm sewer stubs to the east property line of this development for the vacant properties to the east. The downstream storm sewer facilities shall be sized to handle the extra flow. The development shall adhere to erosion/sediment control measures in accordance with SWCD recommendations (See attached Exhibit A.) UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth has been provided along the north and west sides of the development. The existing 12" R.C.P. sanitary sewer line that flows through the north edge of the development shall be tested before work has begun and after the construction is complete for this development. If the existing 12" sanitary sewer line is damaged, then the developer shall be responsible for repairing the damage. The existing 16" water main along the southeast edge of the development and the existing 8" water main at Kennebec Drive and Seneca Road will supply adequate pressure and supply to the proposed development. The developer has petitioned the City to install a 12" trunk water main on Kennebec Drive from Seneca Road to Silver Bell Road and a 12" trunk water main along the east right-of-way line of Silver Bell Road from Kenenbec Drive to the existing 16" water main along the northwest right-of-way line of S.T.H. 13. The proposed 12" trunk water main will benefit this development plus the future industrial developments to the west and east. The preliminary utility plan shows a 12" trunk water main along the east right-of-way line of Silver Bell Road and .an 8"water main 250 ft. east of Silver Bell Road. If the 8" water main was increased in size to a 12" water main and the line was extended to the southeast for 320 ft., then the proposed 12" water main along Silver Bell Road could be eliminated. This development shall install 6" sanitary sewer and 6" water main service stubs to the east property line to provide service to the vacant properties to the east. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Access to this development is available-from the inplace Silver Bell Road and the proposed Kennebec Drive. The developer has petitioned the City to construct Kennebec Drive from Seneca Road to Silver Bell Road. Silver Bell Road is a 44 ft. wide, 9-ton design street and Kennebec Drive will be constructed also as a 44 ft. wide, 9-ton design street. The completion of Kennebec Drive will improve the traffic circulation for the Cedar Industrial Park. The only access onto S.T.H. 13 at a signalized intersection for the Cedar Industrial Park is at Silver Bell Road. There are no traffic signals on S.T.H. 13 at Seneca Road, Shawnee Road, or Blackhawk Road. The alignment of Kennebec Drive will have to be revised in the north part of the development. The developer's plans will need to be revised in this area to accomodate the revised alignment. Staff recommends that the connection of Kennebec Drive to Silver Bell Road shall be at a right angle. Also, staff recommends that the proposed driveway locations along Silver Bell Road be at the same location as the driveways on the opposite side of the street, and the developer's grading plan is in compliance with this recommendation. All entrances to the proposed development shall be 30 ft wide, face to face. The triangular shaped property along the east property line of this development must be provided with a 30 ft. wide street access to Kennebec Drive. Even though the triangular shaped property abutts S.T.H. 13, the property must be served with a street access from the northwest because no accesses will be allowed onto S.T.H. 13. The street access will connect to Kennebec Drive and cut through the north edge of the Silver Bell II development. The proposed street will serve the driveways on the north edge of the Silver Bell II development and the triangular shaped property to the east. The final grading plan for this development shall show the proposed grade for this street and the grade will allow the adjoining properties to develop effectively. EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAYS/PERMITS: This development shall dedicate a 40 ft. half right-of-way for the construction of Kennebec Drive. A 60 ft. right-of-way shall be dedicated through the north portion of the development for the proposed street from Kennebec Drive to the east property line. The alignment of this street will be established by negotiating with this developer and the surrounding properties to the east. This development shall also be responsible for dedicating a minimum 20 ft. utility easement over any public utilities not installed within public right-of-way. In, areas where the utilities are greater than 20 ft. deep, the easement width shall be increased to a minimum of 30 ft. No unusual permit requirements are anticipated beyond the normal MPCA, MWCC and Dept. of Health review for sanitary sewer and water extensions. A preliminary layout plan should be submitted to MnDot as soon as possible to allow them to review the proposed improvements along S.T.H. 13 and provide comments. ASSESSMENTS: The parcel proposed to be developed as Dallas Development 2nd Addition was previously assessed for the following improvements: PROJECT DESCRIPTION USAGE 4 Sanitary Sewer Trunk S.F. 76 Water Lateral Benefit C/I 76 Sanitary Sewer Lateral Benefit 86 Water Area C/I 94 Silver Bell Road - Grading 128 Silver Bell Road - Surfacing 274 Silver Bell Road - Improvements There are no pending assessments and the following are proposed assessments: Description Usage Rate Quantity Amount Storm Sewer Trunk C/I $.079 551,034 S.F. $43,531 Dallas Development has petitioned for storm sewer, water supply and street improvements to Kennebec Drive. The costs for these improvements will be identified at the time of formal public hearing. All final assessment rates shall be those in effect at the time of final plat approval based on final plat area and frontage calculations. CONDITIONS: DALLAS DEVELOPMENT 2ND ADDITION 1. After the uses are determined, the site plan shall be reviewed based upon those uses to ensure Code conformance. 2. Staff recommends against the use of retaining walls along the east property. The appropriate slope easements shall be obained from the adjoining property owner. 3. The developer shall preserve the integrity of the existing 16" water main. A minimum of 7 ft. of cover and 10 ft. horizontal separation from the proposed retaining wall shall be maintained. 4. Provisions shall be made to account for the additional storm water runoff in accordance with the recommendatinos in the staff report. 5. The developer shall extend storm sewer to the easterly line of the development to serve the adjacent property. 6. The developer shall be responsible for any damages to the existing 12" sanitary sewer during development. 7. Staff recommends that the proposed 6" internal water main be replaced witha 12" water main connecting the existing 16" water main along S.T.H. 13 and the proposed 12" water main in Kennebec Drive. This will eliminate the need for a 12" water main along Silver Bell Road. 8. Water and sewer services shall be provided to adjacent properties in accordance with the staff report. 9.

LOCATION: OUTLOT D,OAK CLIFF ADDITION, WINKLER/ JACKSON PD. EXISTING ZONING: NB (NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MARCH 26,1987 DATE OF REPORT: MARCH 18, 1987 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION: An application has been submitted requesting a prel- iminary plat for the Cliff Road .Shoppes Addition. This plat con- sists of a 65,815 sq. ft. strip center and a 5,000 sq. ft. building footprint on 7.88 acres located at the southwest intersection of Cliff and Slaters Road. The Winkler/ Jackson PD Agreement desig- nates this parcel NB as does the January 1987 Land Use map. ZONING AND LAND USE: Currently, this is a vacant grassland along Cliff Road. As you go south the land rises to a highpoint near the center of the site. It then becomes heavily wooded and falls rapidly towards Outlot B which is designated mid-density residential. To the west is the City boundary and the Mary Mother of the Church fa- cility. The strip building will be anchored by a 24,000 sq. ft. food market and 8,840 sq. ft. drug store. The remaining retail use may include a 500 seat theater and typical neighborhood retail uses. The allow- able building coverage for NB districts is 20%. This propocni is over that limit by 2,600 sq. ft. (21% coverage). The parking required for the plan as is would be 387 stalls - 408 have been provided. Of these 94 have a 9' width and are proposed for employee use only. Both parking and building setbacks meet Code conformance. A 20' parking setback is required along the southern property line since the adjacent land use is residential. ,The City Landscape Policy requires: 1) all loading areas shall be suitably screened from all public roads and 2) parking areas shall be screened from all public roads and from different land uses. The submitted landscape plan would not adequately screen this pro- ject from the residential area to the south. The proposed grading plan shows a rapid drop from the parking area to the property line. Additional plant material will be needed to screen the area, It should have a mixture of overstory, understory, deciduous trees along with evergreens and shrub mmassings. The landscape plan must be drawn on a grading plan in order to do a proper review. The sizes listed meet the minimum Policy. standards. PRELIMINARY PLAT - (CLIFF ROAD SHOPPES) 2 Building elevations have been submitted showing most sides except for the back side that abutts the residential area. There should be a committment for the architectural design prior to the preliminary plat approval. All building mounted signage will be subject to the one time sign fee. If :a pylon sign is requested it will be subject to a seperate conditional use permit or it shall be approved now, located 10' within the property lines and be less than 125 sq. ft. per side with a 27' maximum height. GRADING/ DINAGE: The proposed development consists of rolling topography with dense grass cover on the north half and thick woods on the south half. There is a hill in the center of the site with slopes going down on all sides. The drainage on the north side of the development is served by a small ditch along Cliff Road. The ditch will be replaced by a gravity storm sewer system when Cliff Road is upgraded and a trailway will be added along the south side of Cliff Road. Pond AP-10 is along the southeast corner of the development. From the hill in the center of the development to the pond there is a grade differential of 50 ft. The side slope along, the north edge of the pond is wooded and has a 3:1 slope. Staff recommends that this side slope be protected and left in its natural state except for a 30 ft. strip along the alignment of the proposed storm sewer line that will discharge into the pond. The woods and pond will be a natural buffer between this commercial development and the residential areas to the south. Staff recommends that the developer revise the proposed grades in the northwest section of the development. The grades should be raised to match the church parking lot to the west and to match the future trailway along Cliff Road. By raising the grades in this area, then the first floor elevation of the proposed building in the northwest corner will be higher than the street grade on Cliff Road. The proposed grading plan shows a one-to-one slope along the west property line and this does not meet City standards. Staff recommends that the developer obtain a slope easement from the adjoining property to the west to allow the slope to be graded at a 3:1 rate. The proposed street grades for the parking lot and driveways in the north and west portion of the development shall be increased to meet the City's standard of 1% for minimum street grade. The existing church parking lot to the west currently drains to the low area in the southwest corner of the development. The proposed grading plan shows that the low area will be filled, therefore, this developer shall provide for a gravity storm sewer line to the west property line that will be designed to handle 14 cfs. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size, capacity and depth is available and has been stubbed to this development. An additional 80 ft. of water main plus a hydrant shall be added to the proposed water main layout along the north end of the development. The hydrant is required to provide fire protection to the northerly portion of the development. An additional 250 ft. of water main plus a hydrant shall be added to the proposed water main layout in the center of the development. This hydrant is required to provide fire protection to the proposed buildings in the center of the development. STREETS /ACCESS /CIRCULATION: The attached letter from the Dakota County Highway Department recommends that the access to this development shall be from Slaters Road and that no access shall be allowed onto Cliff Road. See Exhibit A. Therefore, the developer shall revise the street circulation plan to comply with the County's recommendation. The two accesses to this development will be to Slaters Road. T.b intersection of Slaters Road and Cliff Road is a signalized intersection with left-turn lanes. EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS: Staff recommends this development dedicate a 75 ft. half right-of-way for Cliff Road, Also, because of the potential grading required to upgrade Cliff Road, staff recommends this development provide a 20 ft. slope easement adjacent the northerly boundary of this development. Depending on the final approved grading plan, additional slope easements may be required from the adjoining properties to the west and south. No unusual permit requirements are anticipated. A revised preliminary layout plan should be submitted to Dakota County to allow them to review the proposed improvements along Cliff Road. ASSESSMENTS: The following assessments were levied against this property: PROJECT DESCRIPTION USAGE 64 Sanitary Sewer Trunk 64 Water Area S.F. 198A, 227A, 186A Storm Sewer Trunk S.F. 275A Slater Road S.F. 275 - Water Main Lateral Benefit S.F. 254 Water Area S.F. 400 Storm Sewer Upgrade.

COUNTY ENGINEER HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT (612) 431-1150 7300 WEST 147th STREET, SUITE #402 APPLE VALLEY, MINNESOTA 55124 March 6, 1987 Mr. Tom Colbert, P.E. Director of Public Works City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Rd. Eagan, MN 55122 Re: Preliminary Plat and Site Review Cliff Road Shoppes Dear Tom: Review of the subject proposal was made with the developer and Larry Figgins of this office several weeks ago and with Pete Sorenson of this office at your APC Staff Review meeting on March 2, 1987 where several issues surfaced. This letter is to advise you of our position regarding this property along the south side of CSAH 32 (Cliff Rd.) west of Slaters Road. We fully anticipate a divided highway design from this property westerly into Burnsville and as such, the property dedication for highway right-of-way is 75' from the centerline of Cliff Road. The proposed site plan indicates a driveway onto CSAH 32 (Cliff Rd.) immediately west of the end of the inplace median. This driveway is too close to Slaters Road and due to the median and left turn lane and Cinnamon Ridge Trail to the north, safe ingress and egress is jeopardized. We are recommending that the full access to this property be from Slaters Road and that no access be allowed onto CSAH 32. Yours-very truly, David L. Everds, P.E.

Chakoian Dakota County SWCD RE: Cliff Road Shoppes Preliminary Plat BACKGROUND AMCON has submitted a preliminary plat proposal for Cliff Road Shoppes. Plans include a site plan, grading and utility plan and an erosion control plan. The erosion and sediment control plan submitted with this plat was incomplete. The "General Criteria" and the "Checklist" for an erosion and sediment control plan should be used in developing this plan; a site map and accompanying narrative should be included. SOIL RESOURCES Two textures of soil are found on this site: sandy loam and Kennebec variant silt loam areas are present. The sandy loam area has a seasonal watertable that is greater than 5 feet below the surface. The Kennebec series (identified in green on the attached site plan) presents limitations for the development. The seasonal water table is at a depth of +1-2 feet. The soil survey indicates that this watertable is perched. - 1) Soil borings by a geotechnical firm should focus on confirming that the water table is perched. 2) Removal of this wet soil material and replacement with appropriately compacted fill should be planned. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER WATER RESOURCES The water body affected by this plan is AP-lo; this pond is proposed to be used for stormwater coming from the site. The pond is near a single family residential area and also has an outlet in place. For these reasons, it is important to protect this pond from upland runoff and sediment from this construction site. In order to protect the pond, we suggest the construction of a temporary diversion along the southern boarder of the property. A depressional area exists along this boarder and could be used to store diverted water from the southeastern corner of the site. We suggest stockpiling the wet soils, that need to be excavated from the site, along the southern edge of the site and continue the diversion for a short distance along Slater Road (identified in red on the attached site plan). This will divert water around the south east corner of the site and into the basin. Proper installation of silt curtain along the south boundary before placing fill would also be necessary. EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL: The erosion and sediment control plan submitted with this plat was incomplete. Some specific information follows that may be useful in preparation of the plan. EROSION CONTROL MEASURES In the Water Resources section of this letter the issue of protecting the pond AP-l0 was covered. On this site'the southeastern corner is where all the stormwater is directed and we suggest creating a diversion from this corner to the south boundary of the site., Another concern is revegetation of the area disturbed with installation of the storm sewer pipe down to the pond AP-10. 3) Erosion control measures should be in place during and after this storm sewer construction; the disturbed area should then be immediately seeded and mulched to stabilize the steep slope. 4) Within two days of completion of rough grading, the site should be seeded and mulched to stabilize the disturbed areas. Seeding and mulching details, as identified on the "Checklist", should be specified. Structural measures needed for erosion control on this site may include: 5) Some provisions to protect the pond AP-10 during and after storm sewer construction and some way to stop the drainage from spilling over the southeastern corner of the site. 6) Silt fence along Cliff Road and Slater Road. It would be preferable to have a 20 foot buffer of natural vegetation to insure the effectiveness of the silt fence. 7) Temporary gravel construction entrance (see enclosure). 8) Stormsewer inlet filters until pavement is in place and disturbed areas are revegetated (see enclosure). EROSION CONTROL MANAGEMENT Erosion control measures should be installed before grading begins. All erosion and sediment measures should be regularly inspected and maintained as needed. 9) The individual responsible for maintenance must be identified on the plan. 10) Schedules for installing utilities, revegetation of those disturbed areas, building construction and blacktopping are required. Especially on this site, these schedules will impact what erosion control measures will be necessary. 11) Disposition of erosion and sediment control measures needs to be addressed. Include a contact person responsible for final clean up of the site. 1-2) We recommend that a statement be placed on the development plan indicating that the builders will be responsible for erosion and sediment control during construction. OTHER COMMENTS A gully is present from the church parking lot on the south west corner of this development. This could potentially undermine fill placed in the area; corrective measures should be considered. CONCLUSIONS We understand, that with any new program, it takes time to educate those involved in developing adequate Erosion and Sediment Control Plans. We hope that acceptable erosion control plans are submitted with future Preliminary Plats. We recommend that the Preliminary Plat be approved, but that a revised Erosion and Sediment Control Plan be submitted and approved before a grading permit is issued. cc: AMCON Probe Engineering Company, Inc. • ywn, B -lr,Q)JNTY STATE • AID HIGHWAT~® H0. -,a 32 Git?® ao40) 3RD ADDITION (AMOCO STATION)' a OUTLOT D' 4 r : ~w ® 4 E ®P a O U T L O T B I via q -Al mP.1 OUTLOT C ,F a OUTLOT E OUTLOT- A L H Q ° •r Df P~~,N + M1 • a ti}:}:° ~•°n.. a OUTLOT' F x X, A4 iS {1 tit®;VY , - I .t 10, ° • 'rat ~ i m`"~ ° " 1 p ~ • :s' } ;S:°:: Ea s.:.< ` • • ® arFC sr satsAr.'t Ct Nt:-1 W0N I % I C,;1PdAh1p:J _ E E S S C:; U NO 32 k« : { CUFFF k ML, $ t ( LOT t j ^x BLOCK I i 1 I-T 343,228 S.F.

The Preliminary Plat would consist of 60,000 sq. ft. (1.3 acres) and contain one lot. ZONING & LAND USE: Currently, the parcel is zoned R-l, Residential Single District, and would only allow a single family development to occur in this area. There is an existing home/office and outside storage for a construction company on the site. This company has been operating for the past 25 years and currently has been established as a legal nonconforming use. Therefore, this business operation can continue to remain and operate as long as the use does not increase in intensity or size. The Comprehensive Guide Plan also designates this parcel as D-l, low density residential, with the density of 0-3 dwelling units per acre. COMMENTS: The applicants are proposing to remove the single family home and construct the first office building containing 5,760 sq. ft. and retain the outside storage and existing office until the new facility is built. The second phase would then be constructed and contain approximately 6,048 sq. ft. This office is proposed to be a one-story building. The parking spaces provided is 61, which is the required number by the zoning ordinance. Access to this facility would be from Diffley Road on the westerly corner of the plat. This access would be from the relocated service road running along the southerly boundary of Diffley Road. No access is being proposed from Pilot Knob Road. It appears that the buildings meet all setback requirements and parking requirements from the County roads. In review of this particular plan, it appears to be more of a land use question - does the City rezone a new parcel which has not been designated or proposed on the Comprehensive Guide or does the City follow the guide with the D-l land use and allow Mr. Nelson to operate as a legal nonconforming use as long as the business does not increase in size or intensity. CONDITIONS: WALLY B & MICHAEL NELSON 1. The standard plat conditions should be adhered to. 2. The plat should be subject to a Park's Dedication Fee. 3. A detailed landscape plan shall be provided and reviewed and a landscape bond shall be submitted and not released until one year after the landscaping has been completed. 4. A detailed lighting plan shall be submitted and reviewed by City staff prior to issuance of a building permit. 5. Only an office building shall be allowed as a permitted use in this Limited Business District. R-I yt !

LOCATION: LOTS 1-4, BLOCK 1, SAFARI AT EAGAN EXISTING ZONING: CSC WITHIN BLACKHAWK SOUTH PD DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MARCH 24, 1987 DATE OF REPORT: MARCH 17, 1987 REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary Plat for the Thomas Lake Center. This replat of the Safari at Eagan proposal consists of 6 lots on 10.7 acres with lot 1 containing a 41,000 sq. ft. strip center. The original proposal in 1981 was for an 83,000 sq. ft. mall type building. That plan was revised in late 1986 to 3 lots with one being a 42,000 sq. ft. strip center. The following is a breakdown of each lot in the March 1987 proposal: Lot 1 5.8 acres with an allowable building coverage of 65,000 sq. ft. The building proposed is 42,000 sq. ft. Parking required 205; parking provided 216. The service area is on the North side of the budding. Since the building has frontage on all four sides, a common sign band area should be required to eliminate a loading dock image on the North side. The trash enclosures have been incorporated into the building itself. The exterior finish will be brick and potentially concrete block on the lower half of the North side, a stucco sign band area, and aluminum store front area. Gabled reflective glass canopies create interest in the roof line area. The fan units are not shown in the elevations and therefore, are assumed to not be visible. Lot 2 A 1 acre lot designated for 93 seat restaurant. Parking for 31 required; 31 provided. Lot 3 A 1.1 acre lot for a restaurant or retail use. The parking/building coverage shown for either use would meet code requirements. REPLAT (THOMAS LAKE CENTER) - Page 2 Lot 4 If developed for-- use other than parking, there will need to be proof that there will not be a shortage of spaces for the strip building. Lot 5 A 1 acre lot for retail/restaurant use; parking requirements have been met. Lot 6 A 9 acre lot for a 126 seat restaurant or 3,900 sq. ft. retail use building; parking requirements have been met. COMMENTS: The landscape plan with this submission reflects all City standards and is an excellent example of perimeter parking lot screening. This plan has overall consistency and from a design standpoint provides year round color and interest. Three pylon signs are being requested. The major sign -along Cliff Road is 32 feet tall and contains 125 sq. ft. of signage area. If this center is determined to be a 'major complex' under the terms of the Sign Ordinance, the size shall be determined by the Council. The other signs are 16 feet tall with 40 sq. ft. of signage area at the Safari Boulevard and Thomas Lake entrances. Those signs are scaled down visions of the major sign. The consistency will add to the aesthetics of the site. GRADING, DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL: The property in its present state generally drains from south to north. The site is covered with dense grasses and there are a few trees surrounding the old farmhouse. The grading plan proposes a maximum cut of 19 ft. in the center of the development and a maximum fi11 of 11 ft. in the northeast corner and 8 ft. in the southeast corner. The grading plan proposes to level the site and maintain the drainage from south to north. The drainage from the site will be handled by the existing storm sewer system on Safari Boulevard that discharges to the north through an existing 36" storm sewer and then to a drainage ditch that empties into Pond BP-13. Pond BP-13 is drained by an existing 24" gravity storm sewer line that discharges into Thomas Lake. The existing storm sewer system that will serve this development is of sufficient size and capacity to handle the storm water runoff from this development plus the other areas that contribute to the system. The low area in the northwest corner of Safari Boulevard and Cliff Road will be developed as a ponding area and the outlet for this pond is a part of the Safari Boulevard storm sewer system. When Cliff road is upgraded, then the future storm sewer facilities that will be required should empty into this pond rather than connect directly to the existing storm sewer line on Safari Boulevard. In regard to erosion control, the streets surrounding the proposed development must be protected to prevent sediment movement into the existing catch basins on Safari Boulevard and Thomas Lake Road. Sediment can be retained on this site by revegetating the site in a timely manner, by proper placement and maintenance of silt curtains and by using temporary gravel construction entances of at least 50 ft. at ingress and egress points. Also, erosion and sediment control practices designed to contain sediment on site shall be installed and functional before any grading begins. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size, capacity and depth is available to serve this development from Thomas Lake Road and Safari Boulevard. The developer's layout on the preliminary utility plan is acceptable, however, staff would recommend an alternative layout for the sanitary sewer. The developer proposed to connect to an existing manhole on the 27" sanitary sewer on Thomas Lake Road, however, this sewer is almost 30 ft. deep and the connection to the manhole would require an outside drop section. Adding an outside drop section to an existing manhole is expensive plus the contractor might encounter ground water problems. Also, the contractor might have to close down Thomas Lake Road to make the connection and the repair work involved with replacing Thomas Lake Road to its original condition would be expensive. The alternative layout for the sanitary sewer would be to connect to the existing 8" sanitary sewer on Safari Boulevard. The alternative layout would require an extra 300 ft. of 8" sanitary sewer, but the total cost of the two alternatives might be similar. The developer proposes to install sanitary sewer and water services to Lot 4 of this development which is shown as a parking lot on the site plan. In the future, if the use for Lot 4 was changed from a parking lot to a building, then the parking requirements might not be met for this-development. The proposed temporary storm drainage system from Cliff Road through this site needs some further study as to final design to handle this problem. The preliminary utility plan should be revised to show at least a 10 ft. horizontal separation from the water main to the sanitary sewer and storm sewer lines that are parallel. STREETS /ACCESS /CI RCULAT ION: This development will be adequately served by the existing streets that currently surround this development. Along the south side of the development is Cliff Road, a two-lane rural design roadway that is controlled by the Dakota County Highway Department. Along the east side of the development is Thomas Lake Road, a 44 ft. wide urban design roadway that is on the City's State Aid street system. Along the west and north sides of this development is Safari Boulevard, a 44 ft. wide urban design roadway installed for this development in 1981. In the future, Cliff Road will be upgraded to a -four-lane roadway with left-turn lanes. Also, a signed system will be installed at Cliff Road and Thomas Lake Road when the traffic volumes warrant a new signal system. Therefore, the County strongly recommends that no accesses will be allowed onto Cliff Road between Thomas Lake Road and Safari Boulevard/Beacon Hill Road. The developer's site plan showed a driveway access onto Cliff road 310 ft. west of Thomas Lake Road. However, this access will not be allowed. Staff recommends that a new access onto Safari Boulevard be added at the east property line of Lot 6. The new access will provide a driveway opening near the trunk loading area to keep delivery trucks from driving through the parking lot areas. At the City's request, the developer has submitted a traffic, access and parking lot review report prepared by a traffic engineer. The report determined that special site distance or alignment problems were not apparent along Cliff Road or Thomas Lake Road. Also, the entering and exiting traffic will have four opportunities to enter or exit at the four driveways and the demand at any given driveway should be minimal. The report states that the 504 parking spaces provided will be adequate to serve this mixed use commercial development. The proposed access driveway grade is approximately 10% on the east side of this development which is too steep. Staff recommends that the grading plan be revised so the driveway grade does not exceed 4%. EASEMENTS /RIGHTS-OF-WAY/PE ITS: Staff recommends this development dedicate a 75 ft. half right-of-way for Cliff Road. Also, because of the potential grading required to upgrade Cliff road, staff recommends this development provide a 20 ft slope easement adjacent the southerly boundary of this proposed development. A 20 ft. utility easement shall be dedicated over the proposed 8" sanitary sewer line. Also, a 20 ft. utility easement shall be dedicated over the proposed 8" sanitary sewer line. Also, a 20 ft. utility easement shall be dedicated over the proposed and 6" water mains up to an including all the hydrants but not including the service lines to the buildings. A 30 ft. wide combined utility easement is required when the proposed water main and sanitary sewer lines are parallel and 10 ft. apart. No unusual permit requirements are anticipated beyond the normal MPCA, MWCC and Department of Health permits for sanitary sewer and water extensions. A revised preliminary layout plan should be submitted to the Dakota County Highway Department as soon as possible to allow them to review the proposed improvements along Cliff Road and process the permit for work within County right-of- way. ASSESSMENTS: This property will be responsible for the following assessments at the rate in effect at the time of final plat approval. The rates listed below are 1987 rates and is calculated as follows: PROJ. # DESCRIPTION USAGE RATE QTY. ASSESSMEN Cliff Rd. Upgrading C/I $82.37/ff 829.8/ff $68,351.0 Cliff Rd.
