05/01/1986 - Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FRO : KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: APRIL 28, 1986
RE: Y 1, 1986 COMMISSION MEETING
The May 1st Commission meeting will be proceeded by a tour of City Parks
beginning at 6:15 .m. Members will meet at the Eagan Municipal Center, at
which time we will visit Fish Lake, Northview Athletic Fields, Goathill,
Walnut Hill, and Trapp Farm Park. It is anticipated that the Commission will
return to City Hall at approximately 7:30 p.m. for it's regular agenda.
- velo ent Proposals
There are two items for Commission Review. The first item is the development
of three single family lots on the Thomas E. Murr Parcel, adjacent to Schwanz
Lake. Commission members will recall that a previous purchase agreement with
Mr. Murr, which provided for an acquistion to Trapp Farm Park from him,
included future parks dedication requirements. Therefore, this proposed
addition has fulfilled it's parks dedication responsibilities.
Item 2
Item #2 is for Windtree's 7th and 8th additions. This PUD development had
previously dedicated it's parkland, which is now part of Westcott Station
Park. However, this phase of the development is adjacent to Westcott Roar,
and therefore a trailway along Westcott should be the responsibility of th11.3
plat. Old Business
Included in the packet is a memorandum on Fairway Hills, which the Commission
reviewed at it's April 3rd meeting. Staff has prepared two concept plans
which shows a neighborhood park concept, and the second concept as an athletic
field. The Commission should make the recommendations to the Council on which
plan it prefers.
The second item under "old business" is a notice that the Dakota County
Bikeway meeting is set for 7:00 p.m., May 15th, at the Eagan Library. Members
should mark their calendars for the date and time in order that they may
attend.
Item 3
This is a continuation of Four Oaks Court request for an elimination of a
proposed tot-lot. Staff has just received notification that this item should
be deferred until the June meeting.
New Business
There are two items under "New Business", the first is the bid tabulation for
the spring parks construction, and the second is the park shelter buildings
contract.
The lowest responsible bidder for the Parks construction appears to be
Central Landscaping, with a base bid of $313,621.31. (Extensions have yet to
be completed to verify this amount). The second low bidder was Enebak
Construction with a bid of $327,721.00. Both of Vi--.- Lids are substantially
below staff estimates for this park work. City Cou. '.l is anticipated to act
favorably and award the contract at it's Council Mee~ing on May 6th.
Bids were opened for-the park shelter buildings on April 15th, and the
apparent low bidder is ALM Builders. The base bid was $374,840.00. Again,
this bid is very favorable, and would allow the Commission to consider the
various "add-on" alternatives, which were part of the contract specifications.
The architectural firm is currently checking references on the builder, and
will be making it's recommendations concerning the bid award, along with the
four alternatives at the Commission meeting. I anticipate that Staff will
have additional information for the Commission concerning both of these bids
by the May 1st Commission meeting.
Parks veld ent
Staff will update the Advisory Commission on current parks development
activities, and would like to discuss alternatives relative to the third
athletic site. Staff is currently pursuing a design, which would provide for
additional acquisition at Northview Athletic Fields for the development of
softball facilities. In conjunction with the Ohmann Parcel development of
soccer facilities, these two additions could well serve the athletic needs of
the community. Staff will present these graphics at the Commission meeting.
There are several items under "other business and reports", on which Staff
will elaborate on at the Commission meeting.
As always, if Commission members are unable to attend, notification would be.
appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
Ken Vraa, Director of Parks & Recreation

MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE
ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
CITY OF
KAGAN
3, 1986
APRIL
Chairman Martin called the meeting to order at 7:05 P.M. Members present
were: Porter, Alt, Masin, Ketcham, Martin, Thurston, Bertz and Carroll.
Commission member Caponi was ill and George Kubik arrived late (9:30). Staff
present were: Parks & Recreation Director, Ken Vraa; Landscape
Architect/Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan; Planner, Jim Sturm; Parks
Superintendent, John VonDeLinde; and Administrative Assistant, Liz Witt.
Director Vraa introduced John VonDeLinde to the Commission. John had
previously been employed in park/recreation related positions with the State
of Minnesota, Wright County and the Hennepin County Park Preserve.
AGENDA
Parks & Recreation Director Vraa added several items to other business.
Commission member Bertz moved, Ketcham seconded, that the agenda be approved
as amended. The motion carried.
MINUTES
t March 6, 1986
Typographical errors were noted on pages 2, 3 and 5. On a motion by
Commission member Carroll, seconded by Thurston, the minutes were approved as
corrected. The motion carried.
March 13, 1986
A correction was noted on the Park Dedication section. Commission member
Carroll suggested that "....before the ordinance is completed, staff should
conduct a comparative analysis with other similar sized communities". On a
motion by Masin, seconded by Bertz, the minutes were approved as corrected.
NEW BUSINESS
LCMR/LAWCON, Preliminary Application, 1987
John VonDeLinde, Parks Superintendent distributed a memo on grant
applications. He noted that there are three active grants - Rahn Park, Fish
Lake Park and Trapp Farm Park. They should all be completed this spring or
early summer. Mr. VonDeLinde thinks there may be monies available for 1987
grants. He noted that Blackhawk Lake Park 1986 application was originally
ranked fifth and did not qualify for funding. Because of a withdrawal of
another application, if there are no cutbacks, the City may receive an
estimated $30,000 from L.C.M.R. of the $315,000 application for Blackhawk
Park. Mr. VonDeLinde suggested there are four alternatives to consider: Alt.
#1 - The City would not receive 1986, funding but would be eligible for 1987
LCMR and LAWCON funds. Alt. #2 The City could turn back the $30,000 and
apply for a LCMR grant in 1987. Alt. #3 - The City could accept the $30,000
1
and use City funds to acquire the desired property. Alt. #4 - The City could
accept the $30,000 and scale back the proposed project. Mr. VonDeLinde
recommends Alt. #4.
Commission member Masin asked if the funds are accepted, could the City
reapply for Blackhawk Park in a future year. Mr. VonDeLinde said that the
maximum LCMR grant for any one project is $200,000. He thought the City could
always come back with a development request. In response to a question about
length of time a grant could be outstanding, Mr. VondeLinde said the time
frame is usually three years but can range from one to six years.
Commission member Ketcham asked if the City had to pick up the remainder of
the $315,000 total cost if it accepts the $30,000. John VondeLinde thought
the State would probably be agreeable to scaling back the project. The City
could ask for a time extension-to reevaluate the situation. Commission member
Carroll moved, Bertz seconded, to recommend Alternative #4. The City would be
open to accepting grant monies for Blackhawk Park and renegotiate the scope of
the project. If the City determines a scaled down project is not workable,
the money could be returned. The consensus of the Commission was not to
return the grant monies as such a move could harm the grant program as a
whole. The motion carried.
The commission then discussed 1987 applications. John VondeLinde noted the
federal and state governments are scrutinizing grant expenditures and what
amounts would be available, if any, was unknown. He did sip=r st that the City
apply for a LCMR grant to light the fifth ballfield at t `tal°_ el, iark, He
also suggested the City apply for a LAWCON grant for omas Lake Park,
emphasizing boat access, fishing pier and a beach. The amount of the
application might be in the $250,000 range. Mr. VondeLinde thinks the City
should pursue '87 funding even though the availability of monies is
questionable at this time. Commission member Carroll moved, Masin seconded,
the recommendation to apply for 1987 funding for Northview Park and Thomas
Lake Park. The motion carried.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
1. Deerfield Addition - 324 unit apartments
Planner Jim Sturm noted the proposal is for nine 36 unit buildings of higher
quality. The density is nine units per acre. Each unit would have a
fireplace and the size would range from 800 to 1200 square feet. Rents would
be in the $600 - $700 range. Planner Sturm noted the Planning Commission
continued the item pending resolution of the viability of the Planned
Development. He also noted there is a wetland area which could be used as a
pond or filled in to provide open space. Commission member Thurston moved,
seconded by Alt, to recommend cash dedication and trail along the south side
of Diffley Road. All voted in favor.
2. Ronald & Donna Rosa - Lot split/ waiver of plat
This development is west of Dodd Road near Lebanon Hills Park. The req°{est is
for a simple lot split, both of which will have a common access. The F°1 am ing
Commission approved the request. Commission member Porter moved, ={rtz
seconded, to recommend cash dedication for the newly created lot. The motion
carried.
2
3. Northview Meadows 2nd - 38 single family units The site consists of 22 acres just west of Northview Meadows 1st Addition.
The lot size will average 12,000 square feet. Planner Sturm stated the park
dedication was fulfilled as part of the Lexington South P.U.D. The Planning
Commission has approved. On a motion by Alt, seconded by Ketcham, the
recommendation for a trail on County Road 30 (Diffley Road) was approved. All
voted in favor.
4. Fairway Hills - 145 single family homes
The development proposal consists of 60 acres of the Ohman property for 145
single family homes. Planner Sturm stated the Planning Commission denied the
application due to three access locations off Pilot Knob Road and a review by
the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission. The Planning Commission was also
concerned with how the surrounding area would develop.
Dave Sellergren and Bill Mauer, representing Derrick Land Co. and Probe
Engineering commented on the status of Pilot Knob Road access. There will be
two access points to the development off Pilot Knob Road. The third access is
temporary until the completion of the Pilot Knob upgrading. Both the County
and the City Engineering Department are satisfied with access to the
development. Mr. Sellergren stated that Derrick Land Co. is ready to proceed
and needs to know what the City wants for park dedication. Parks & Recreation
Director Vraa said that the City had not yet acquired Parcel "F", therefore
the City must proceed cautiously in its recommendation with this plat.
Director Vraa presented concept plans which Park Consultant, Tim Erkkila, had
prepared. The first plan called for a seven acre park on the north part of
the 15 acre parcel the City is negotiating to buy from Mrs. Lehmann and sell
off the rest. The second plan uses all of the 15 acre site plus approximately
7 acres from Fairway Hills, to put in a small athletic site. The second plan
would not provide utilities to the private parcel directly to the south. A
third plan would have a seven acre park in the north, using some Derrick Land
property. The remainder of the 15 acres would be sold to expand Fairway
Hills. This plan would allow access to the private parcel and would allow for
expansion of the park into the Parkview Golf Course should that be sold off
sometime in the future.
Commission members expressed their concerns. Carolyn Thurston stated an
athletic site is still needed and the City should not forego the opportunity
of this as a possible site. Tom Ketcham felt the City would be buying an
inadequate athletic site at a sizeable cost. He thought we should get a
better site elsewhere. Chairman Martin was still concerned about "buying" a,
park when the City could get land via dedication. "If we accept six acres,
then we get the neighborhood park we need." He noted that the City still does
not have a firm commitment from Mrs. Lehmann. Director Vraa said that a
purchase agreement is to be delivered to Mrs. Lehmann for acceptance or
rejection. He thought she was more agreeable to sign at this time. There was
considerable discussion by the Commission.
Mr. Sellergren suggested the City keep their options open. He said that the
development is in for preliminary plat now and the park dedication needn't be
resolved until the time of final plat. Mr. Mauer said the project could be
phased, leaving the possible park site area until last. He suggested the park
abut the County Park.
3
It was the consensus of the commission to keep the options open. Chairman
Martin moved, Alt seconded, to recommend that the possible park site be placed
in an outlot, that cash dedication be escrowed with the first phase to be
returned if land is taken, erosion control be observed and that there be trail
dedication on Pilot Knob and Cliff Roads. All voted in favor.
5. Planning Update
Planner Sturm said there is a proposed 25 townhome development for Blackhawk
Acres. There is a proposal for 78 more single family homes in Windtree 7th
and 8th and there are three small lot splits.
OLD BUSINESS
1. Bur Oak Hills Harstad Development
Director Vraa said there had been two meetings with the developers and that
some progress had been made regarding park layout. The developer agreed to
shift the ball and soccer fields, raise the level of the trail and shift the
access to the park on the east. The developer had proposed to screen the
access from the adjacent lots. The screening would be a six foot high opaque
fence. They would install a small retaining wall by the tot lot area and
dredge the pond to enlarge the open water area. The Harstad Co. did not
propose to provide additional frontage on Rolling Hills Drive for park access.
Chairman Martin was pleased to see the improvements, particularly getting the
trail above the high water elevation. He expressed continuing concern with
the narrow access and felt the developers allegations of a potential three
quarter's million dollar loss to be greatly exaggerated. He objected to the
6 foot screening the access as, he felt, park entries should be open.
Chairman Martin felt he could support the developer's improvements but would
prefer to add two adjacent lots to the access lot. Commission member Thurston
agreed and stated that a larger access would negate the reason for fencing.
Ken Briggs, Harstad Co. representative, stated that the potential loss
resulting from a larger access includes the lots and the stuctures. He
informed the Commission that Brauer & Associates drew up the new concept plans
for the park.
Chairman Martin made a motion, seconded by Thurston, to recommend the
followings
1. Accept land dedication for the Bur Oak proposal.
2. The acceptance would be subject to the following conditions:
a. A proposed sewer outlet from Rolling Hills Drive be relocated and
extended directly into the pond.
b. That the fill material to be placed in the tennis court receive
compaction with density tests to be taken, and that only suitable,
granular material is used.
c. A detailed landscaping plan be prepared and approved for the lots
r',? adjacent to the entrance way to the park to insure adequate screening.
d. The developer provide protection for trees from grading activities.
4
e. Suitable ground cover be established in those areas affected by
grading.
f. The developer follow and enforce the most stringent adherence to
erosion control measures.
3. Two adjacent lots on Rolling Hills Drive should be added to the park's
access and there should be no fencing.
41. The acceptance of improvements as provided by the developer, including:
a. Shortening up the lots on Rolling Hills Drive to provide for a
full-size soccer field.
b. Bringing in more fill to raise the trail above the high water
elevation mark.
c. Grading of the site.
d. Correction of some drainage problems.
e. Grading, fill and a retaining wall by the tennis courts.
The motion carried unanimously.
One resident asked why it was necessary to have a large access when it was
essentially a park for the neighborhood. Commission member Carroll responded
that all residents have a right to use any City park. Many residents drive to
a park even if they live close by. He pointed out that the entrance to
Blackhawk Park is not liked by the neighboring residents as it is on a stub
street and there is no place to park cars. He emphasized strongly that the
City must have more distance between the access and the neighbors in order to
mitigate the nuisance.
2. Lexington Place - 3rd Addition.
Director Vraa indicated he had reviewed the P.U.D. agreement and that Outlot B
was to provide for a trail. He said the Planning Commission and the City
Council approved the Preliminary Plat subject to three conditions: The
developer provide a trail on Outlot B, that the developer be responsible for
bituminous trailway along Lexington Avenue and the plat pay a cash park -
dedication fee. Mr. Vraa said that the Parks & Recreation Commission can
recommend otherwise before the final plat is approved.
Commission member Ketcham did not favor the switch from open space to platted
lots. He didn't think it fair to those who thought they were purchasing
property by open space and it placed a heavier burden on the City's park
system. He noted that it was dangerous for children to cross a major roadway
to get to the nearest park. Commission member Ketcham moved, seconded by
Kubik, to recommend that Outlet C not be approved for platting; that the
surrounding lots were sold as being located by an open recreational space and
there is now no recreational open space available for them. All voted in
favor.
5
3. Four Oaks Court request to eliminate tot lot
Director Vraa indicated he did not receive the required information from Four
Oaks Association. The item will be deferred to such time as the information
is provided. No action was taken.
4. Parks Dedication
Director Vraa and Chairman Martin presented various fee calculations they
produced by changing various factors. Comparisons were made between the
current dedication, adding a population factor and then adding an increasing
land value factor. Both Mr. Vraa and Mr. Martin thought the commission should
seek a joint meeting with the City Council to discuss park dedication at a
later date. It was the consensus of the commission that Director Vraa should
prepare a park dedication report which would include: graphics, other
communities' dedication, changing fee schedules as affected by increases in
the population and an increasing land value factor. The commercial-industrial
dedication is not to be considered at this time. It was the consensus that
staff should proceed with the drafting of the ordinance for further review.
PARKS DEVELOPMENT
1. Summation of Bond Fund Account, Status Report
Director Vraa reported that approximately $1.3 million has been paid out so
far from the bond fund, and that the spending is generally on target. He
presented a matrix which shows what has been done, what remains to be done and
three projects which were added after the bond was approved.
2. Report and update - Construction projects
Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan reported there are three active contracts at the
present time. There are blacktop trails going in at Rahn and Ridgecliff
Parks. Lighting will be provided at Goat Hill and Ridgecliff Parks. Seeding
and top soil finishing is going on at Cinnamon Ridge and O'Leary Parks. Play
structures are to go in at Evergreen and Cinnamon Ridge Parks. He did note a
sub soil problem with Blue Cross-Blue Shield Park. Deep cuts will have to be
made and good fill material brought in. Obviously, expenses for this park
will be greater than anticipated.
OTHER BUSINESS
1. E.A.A. Meeting
Director Vraa met with the President of the Eagan Athletic Association who
wishes to coordinate the programming and scheduling of the ball fields with
the City. Unfortunately, the two programs start at the same time. The E.A.A.
President asked if someone from the City would sit at their Board meetings.
2.. F R
Eagan, Apple Valley, Rosemount and Burnsville are sponsoring the fun run.
Chairman Martin delivered 1200 posters advertising the fun run which were
printed by the Sperry Corp. Mr. Martin asked that the City acknowledge Lee
Sperl and Mike Leahy of Sperry for the posters.
6
Commission member Kubik asked if the concerts in the park would be on the
recreation program this year. He felt they are a well attended, enjoyable
event. Director Vraa said there probably will not be garden plots
available for the residents this year. This item will be discussed on the May
agenda.
3. Bike Trails
The County has set the meeting on bike trails for May 15 at the Eagan library
or the Apple Valley City Hall. The letter which was prepared by the
commission will be sent to the newspaper by mid or late April.
. Cedar Pond Park
Director Vraa announced that side slopes to the pond are crumbling at Cedar
Pond park due to erosion. Staff is suggesting that a 2-3 foot retaining wall
be constructed. Material costs are about $5,000. Labor could come from the
Youth Employment Program. Commission Members approved the project with
funding from the park site fund.
5. Scoping meeting - Fish Wildlife Service
An environmental impact statement is being prepared on management of the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife properties. Federal officials want to know what areas of
concern the City of Eagan might have. Commission members are asked to share
any concerns they have with Ken Vraa so he can send a letter to the Fish &
Wildlife Service.
6. Baseball batting cage
Director Vraa said there is a portable batting cage available for $965 which
includes a frame and netting. Chairman Martin thought the commission should
consider putting one in at Northview Park. The City could charge for its use.
Commission member Kubik agreed. He thought the City should try one or two new
projects each year. On a motion by Kubik, seconded by Masin, the commission
recommended the purchase of a portable batting cage, to work with the athletic
associations in the use of the cage and to review possible fees to be charged.
The motion carried.
7. Park tours
Commission member Thurston suggested the monthly park tours resume now that
the weather is warmer. Other members agreed and the first tour will be at
6:15 p.m. May 1st.
8 Athletic site
Director Vraa suggested that the May tour be of possible athletic site(s).
There was interest in obtaining the first right of refusal if Parkview Golf
Course closes. Parkview would be an excellent athletic field site.
Personnel update
Director Vraa said over 300 applications had been received for park
maintenance workers. He is hopeful to have two workers hired at the April 18
council meeting. Mr. Vraa noted that applications are also being taken for
summer maintenance workers and for recreational help.

ADJOURNMENT
Commission member Kubic moved, Masin seconded the meeting be adjourned. Time
of adjournment was 11:20 p.m.

Advisory Parks & Recreation Secretary
CITY OF EAGAN'
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT (WINDTREE 7TH & 8TH ADDITION,'
APPLICANT: RICHARDSON PROPERTIES
LOCATION: SW a, SECTION 13
EXISTING ZONING: R-1 (SINGLE FAMILY)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING-: APRIL 22, 1986
DATE OF REPORT: APRIL 16, 1986
REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING
APPLICATION: An application has been submitted requesting pre-
liminary plat approval for the Windtree 7th & 8th Additions.
This plat consists of 74 single-family lots on 35.4 acres north
of Wescott Road and east of Elrene Road.
ZONING & LAND USE: The Windtree Addition is zoned R°-1 (single
family) with the original layout containing 121 total lots.
The 7th and 8th Additions are located south and east of the
previously platted 5th & 6th Additions and south of Wescott
Station Park. West Publishing forms the eastern property line.
The 7th Addition will contain 39 lots and the 8th Addition 35
lots, giving the project an overall density of -2.1 units per
acre. Almost all lots exceed either the 12,000 sq. ft. minimum
size and 85' width at the 30' setback line. The lots vary in
size from one at 12,000 sq._ft_ to 57,900 sq., ft., with most
in the 15-20,000 sq. ft. range.
As with the other additions, the topography is rolling with
numerous hillsides and, depressions. ..There is a variety of mature
trees; maples, aspens, ash and oak are the most common.
GRADING/DRAINAGE: The grading plan the applicant submitted is
feasible. The applicant's grading plan meets all existing City
Code requirements with the exception of the 2% maximum grade for
100' at all intersections. Staff feels the applicant can meet
this requirement for all intersections except east of Ridgewood
Drive on Brentwood Lane. This short segment of Brentwood Lane
between Ridgewood Drive and the access street to Wescott Road is
too short to accommodate a 2% grade east of Ridgewood, and a 2%
grade west of the access street. To meet this would mean the
applicant would need to lower the intersection of Ridgewood Drive
and Brentwood Lane 4'. This would cause excessive slopes going
westerly on Brentwood Lane and also excessive grading in this
vicinity. If the applicant provides a 2% grade on Brentwood Lane
west of the Wescott Road access street, then the grade
approaching the Ridgewood Drive intersection would be about 6.
Staff does not feel this will pose any significant problems
because westbound traffic on Brentwood Lane will not have to stop
WINDTREE 7TH & 8TH ADD l
APRIL 22, 1986
PAGE 2
on an uphill grade. Staff feels it is more important to provide
a flatter grade on Brentwood Lane approaching the Wescott Road
access street to allow the traffic to slow down enough to make
the right-hand turn onto the access street.
This proposed development is located within Major Drainage
District J as shown on the attached, Figure 1. Most of the
drainage from this area is to the north into Pond JP-18. This
pond presently has no positive gravity outlet. Staff does not
feel a positive gravity outlet will be necessary with the
completion of this development. Presently, there is no standing
water in this pond and this pond also has much storage
capability.
The applicant proposes to drain street runoff from a low point at
Brentwood Lane located in the proposed 8th Addition northerly
through backyards between the proposed 7th and 8th Additions.
This storm water would then be picked up near the north end of
the 8th Addition with storm sewer conveyed under Windtree Drive
to the northeast and into Pond JP-18. This plan will leave some
water ponding on portions of Lots 1 through 4, in the vicinity of
Block 1, of the proposed 8th Addition. This water has a natural
passage way to the north if it rises to an elevation of 907.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size,
capacity and depth exist within the existing Windtree 4th, 5th
and 6th Additions. These utilities are of sufficient size,
capacity and depth to provide service to the proposed Windtree
7th and 8th Additions.
This development will not require any trunk sanitary sewer or
water main projects.
STREETS: Existing streets which abut this proposed development
include Elrene Road on the west, and Wescott Road on the south.
Ridgewood Drive, Windtree Drive and Stonewood Road all dead-end
into this. proposed development. All the previous streets are
under the City of Eagan's jurisdiction. The City's Street Master
Plan classifies Elrene Road as a collector street and Wescott
Road-as a minor arterial street.
The street layout the developer proposes meets with staff
approval. The City will require the developer to construct a 5'
concrete sidewalk along Wescott Road as per standard City policy
regarding minor arterial streets.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS: The north 50' half right-of-way of
Wescott Road exists as an easement. Staff recommends this
proposed development plat the north 50' half right-of-way of
Wescott Road with the Windtree 7th Addition. This development
proposes on dedicating the City's standard of 60' full right-of-
way for residential streets. This development shall also
dedicate a 40' half right-of-way for Elrene Road.

WINDTREE 7TH 8TH ADD
APRIL 22, 1986
PAGE 3
Staff recommends the developer provided whatever drainage
easements will be necessary for the overland storm water runoff
he proposes between Ridgewood Drive and Windtree Drive north of
Brentwood Lane. The City will also require a ponding easement
over Pond JP-18 to encompass the 871 high water elevation. The
City will also need a minimum 20' wide drainage and utility
easement over all storm sewer lines not constructed within City
right-of-way.
PERMITS: This development will require permits or approvals from
the following agencies.
1. MPCA sanitary sewer extension permit.
2. Mn. Dept. of Health plan approval for water main
extension.
3. MWCC sanitary sewer extension approval.
ASSESSMENTS: This proposed development for Outlot A of the
Windtree 6th Addition is responsible for the following
assessments:

DATE OF REPORT: APRIL 22, 1986
REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING
APPLICATION: An application has been submitted requesting a
rezoning and preliminary 'plat approval for the T.E_M. Addition. This
plat consists of 3 single-family lots on 3.6 acres fronting on Golden
Meadow Road.
COMMENTS- The applicant has an existing home on the proposed middle
lot (Lot 2). It will contain 76,102 sq. ft.. Lot 1 to the west
will contain 49,694 sq.- ft. Both will have 138' of Schwanz Lake
frontage. Lot 3 is a triangular piece containing 18,736 sq. ft. No
setback variances will be required, and all 3 lots were stubbed for
sewer and water when Golden Meadow Road was improved.
The existing driveway servicing Lot 2 has a turnaround area that
encroaches on Lot 1. This will need to be removed at the time Lot 1
is sold. Also, the existing septic tank encroaches under Lot 1. It
is staff's recommendation that the applicant hook-up with City
utilities at the time Lot 1 is developed to eliminate potential
septic tank conflicts.
The park dedication hasbeen completed.
ASSESSMENTS., This development shall be responsible for the trunk'
area storm sewer assessment that the City gave a large lot credit
for. . Project 383 assessed the original parcel 030-29 for 39,592
sq. ft. ($1,706.40 - $0.0431/sq, ft.) of the total net area of 2.40
acres (104,544 sq. ft.)_ With the development of Parcel 030-29, the
large lot credit no longer applies. This development will be
responsible for 64,952 sq.- ft. (104,544-39,592) at the rates in
effect at the time of final platting. Based on 1986 rates, this
amount to $3,2-48.

'Meeting Notice
Public fleeting on County Bikeway Plan
The Dakota County Board is soliciting comments from County residents and local
officials concerning the future funding of bikeways by the County. A public
informational meeting will be held on Thursday, May 15, 1986, at 7:00 P.M. in
the Eagan Library Meeting Room, 1340 Wescott Road.
The purpose of the meeting is to receive comments on the draft County Bikeway
Plan. The Plan identifies the proposed bikeway projects for funding by Dakota
County. The bikeway projects which are scheduled for construction in 1987
with road projects include the following: Pilot Knob Road from I-35E to Cliff
Road; Cliff Road from Johnny Cake Ridge Road to Pilot Knob Road; Cedar Avenue
from Whitney Drive to--Dodd Boulevard; and County Road 42 from Redwood Drive to
County Road 11. Other bikeway projects proposed for construction by 1990
include Babcock Trail from County Road 14 to County Road 18; County Road 18
from Babcock Trail to Cahill Avenue; County Road 42 from Diamond Path to Trunk
Hwy. 3; and County Road 38 from Johnny Cake Ridge Road to Pilot Knob Road.
Since 1980, 20 miles of bikeways on the County System have been constructed.
Dakota County has provided over $400,000 in County funds from 1980 through
1986. The County currently provides 100% funding for construction of bikeways
on the approved County Bikeway System, while cities have agreed to provide the
routine maintenance on the trails.
In reviewing the draft Bikeway Plan, the County PoaL will be considering
whether or not to continue the County's commitment for funding bikeway
construction. The County is concerned about the amount and type of 'use and
future cost of bikeways.
Persons interested in providing comments should attend the May 15, 1985
meeting. Written comments may be presented at the meeting to sent to: Dakota
County Board of Commissioners, Government Center, 1560 West Hwy. 55, Hastings,
MN 55033. Copies of the County Bikeway Plan may be obtained by calling
Dakota County Planning Services, 437--0225.
MO TO.- THE ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM.- KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: APRIL 28, 1986
RE: FAIRWAY HILLS - PRELIMINARY PLAT
c o d
At the last Advisory Commission meeting, the Commission recommended to the
City Council that the Fairway Hills plat proceed as a phased development.
First phase development would require a cash escrow against a possible future
land dedication. The City Council deferred action on this preliminary plat
pending the submission of a revised plat showing full 60 ft width street
right-of-ways. This item will reappear on the City Council for May 6.
The Advisory Commission had directed Staff to prepare concept plans for both a
neighborhood park, and a community park concept within this area. The
neighborhood park to be about 7.5 acres in size, and the Community park to
maximize the entire 15 acre parcel, to be purchased from Laverna Lehmann.
Numerous ideas and layout for a Community Park wre attempted. Staff will be
presenting both the Neighborhood Park Plan, and a Community Par=k, Plan
consisting of soccer fields.
Neighborhood Park
A neighborhood concept plan has been prepared which encompasses approximately
seven plus acres. The neighborhood park would provide for a softball field,
with an overlay soccer field, as well as playground equipment, sun shelter,
parking, hardcourt surface area, and some trails development. The location of
the park would again allow for expansion into the golf course, should this
property ever develop as residential property. This park plan has been
overlaid on the newly revised preliminary plat for Fairway Hills. Staff has
one concern relative to dimensions for the park, and this is the north-south
dimension. It appears that this distance should be expanded by approximately
twenty feet to ensure sufficient space for slope transition. This could be
accomplished by reduction in the street width from fifty to sixty feet if
deemed necessary, or by reduction in lot depths. In any case, Staff feels the
Neighborhood Park Plan as presented is acceptable.
Athletic Field Use
Department Staff has also investigated the possibilities of utilizing fifteen
acres (or more) of the site for athletic field purposes. The original
intention of the Department was to provide for a combination of softball and
soccer fields. After numerous planning attempts for providing both softball
and soccer, or strictly softball, it was obvious that because of dimensions of
the softball fields, field orientation and required parking lot size that a 15
to 17 acre parcel dedicated to softball/soccer facilities, was not possible,
while at the same time being compatible with the future residential area.
However, during concept planning it appeared that a soccer field complex of
four fields could be successfully combined with neighborhood park components.
Staff has provided a concept graphic which shows the four soccer fields,
parking space, and neighborhood components comprising of a playground area,
overlay balifield, trailway, and a centrally located parking Tot. These
soccer fields would be considerably more compatible with adjaeen residents
than softball facilities, particularly when it is noted that these fields
would be primarily used by youth, rather than adult athletics.
For Commission Discussion/Action
The Commission should determine which of the preferred concepts should be
pursued.
The neighborhood park at approximately seven acres should be of sufficient
size to meet the proposed neighborhood development. The developer also
expressed his preference for a neighborhood park concept.
The concept plan for four soccer fields, and neighborhood park components
also works quite well. A centralized parking area combined with berms,
landscaping, and the softer impact of open green space used for soccer
minimizes any impact on the immediate residential development. Location of
the golfcourse to the north also seems compatible with this site being used
for athletic activities. Staff would recommend against more intensive
development which would include adult softball facilities, because of field
dimensions and adjacent residential development.
Commission members are reminded that again, this is all contingent upon the
City's acquisition of the fifteen acre parcel from Laverna Lehmann and the
successful "swapping" with Derrick Land Company, developer of Fairway Hills.
For Commission Action
To review the two concept plans, provide direction to staff - as to which
alternative it should pursue, and make a recommendation to the City Council.

RE: ATHLETIC SITE
Attached is a Concept Plari for Northview Park. This concept envisions the
expansion of the park by approximately ten (10) acres - which would
accommodate three (3) additional fields.
In conjunction with the Ohmann Parcel/Fairway Hills area being utilized for
soccer; the plan(s) would meet most of the City's future athletic needs.
Staff will discuss this concept at the Commission meeting.
