Adjournment MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: JULY 8, 1986 RE: JULY 10 COMMISSION MEETING The regular meeting of the Commission will be preceded by a visual inspection of Chatterton Pond. Commission members should meet at City Hall for departure by 6:30 to the site. Commission members will return at 7:00 p.m. for the regular Commission meeting. The City Council is meeting with the Advisory Planning Commission to review the Comprehensive Guide Plan at 7 o'clock in the City Council chambers. Therefore, the Commission meeting will be moved to the employees lunch room on the lower level. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS There are four items that are development proposals for Commission review: Item A Chatterton Pond This was reviewed by the Commission at the June meeting. It was approved by the Advisory Planning Commission pending Parks Recreation Commission's recommendation. Park Forest Apartments by Design Collective This preliminary plat is for a rezoning of approximately 32 acres from agricultural to R -4 multiple. Four hundred twenty (420) apartment units are proposed. Staff will be recommending that this plat be subject to a cash dedication, as well as a trail on Federal Drive. Thomas Lake Heights by New Horizon Haines This is a platting of Outlot C of Thomas Lake Heights, within the Blackhawk Park PUD. Parks dedication within Blackhawk Park is covered by the PUD agreement. Therefore, there is no parks dedication. Opus Corporation Copri Hotel A proposed rezoning, and preliminary plat is within the Eagandale Office Park, which abutts Pilot Knob Road. This should be subject to the City's commercial and industrial parks dedication requirement. Also, on the agenda for Commission reviewal, as an informational item, is the revised preliminary plat for Fawn Ridge 2nd Addition. There is no additional action required by the Commission on this item. OLD BUSINESS There is one item under "old business This is the Dakota County Bikeway Plan. Dakota County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on July 29th, at 9:00 a.m. The purpose of the public hearing is to obtain additional public comments concerning the Dakota County Bikeway Trails Plan, and for the County Board to approve their five -year bikeway planning document. Commission should determine if it wishes to make an additional appearance, or communication at the board meeting. Commissioner John Voss contacted Director of Parks and Recreation early last week, indicating that the County Board, in approving an asphalt overlay on Cliff Road east of Pilot Knob, also gave direction to the County Engineering Department to include paved shoulders to be used for a bikeway. Commissioner Voss indicated that the approval was in a large part due to the City's comments regarding the need for trailway to service Lebanon Hills Regional Park and the swimming beach, that provided the impetus for this approval. NEW BUSINESS There are two items under this agenda heading. Staff has prepared a separate memorandum on each item, and this is included within the packet. Staff will be looking for direction on how best to proceed regarding these two agenda items. PARKS DEVELOPMENT Landscape Architect /Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan will update the Advisory Commission on the progress being made on the existing contracts, and other parks development work. He will also update the Commission on upcoming work that has yet to be contracted out this year. Second item under "parks development" is a status report on the land acquisition. At the July 1st City Council meeting, the Council approved Commission's recommendation to acquire property for athletic site purposes at Ohmann and Northview. Regarding the Barr parcel, Council asked for additional information pertaining to this site, before approving negotiations and acquisitions. There have been several recent developments regarding both the Ohmann and Northview parcels, that Staff would like to update the Commission on. OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS Staff currently has two items listed under "other business and reports" for Commission updating. Item 8 is Commission members round table. This is a new item on the agenda with the intended purpose, that each member might be given a few moments at the end of the meeting to bring up questions or issues, which may not have been addressed in the meeting. Members should refrain from issues which require Commission action, reserving those items for the regular agenda. Rather, it is intended that the members be given an opportunity to pass on comments regarding the parks and recreation programs which may have been addressed to them during the last month. Respectfull submitted, Ken Vraa KV /bls ctor of Parks and Recreation MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION EAGAN, MINNESOTA JUNE 5, 1986 SUBJECT TO APPROVAL Acting Chair Richard Carroll called the meeting to order at 7:35 P.M. Members present were: Porter, Masin, Ketcham, Carroll, Bertz, Alt, Caponi and Kubik. Commission members Martin and Thurston were excused for high school commencement obligations, although Chairman Martin was present for some of the discussion on Hampton Heights and Fairway Hills /athletic site. Staff members present were: Landscape Architect /Parks Planner Stephen Sullivan; Assistant City Planner Jim Sturm and Administrative Assistant Liz Witt. Parks Recreation Director Ken Vraa was excused early due to illness. The meeting was preceded by a tour of Quarry Park, Blue Cross /Blue Shield Park, Rahn Park and a drive by of the Ohmann site. AGENDA Commission member Masin moved, seconded by Ketcham, to approve the agenda as presented. The motion carried. MINUTES OF MAY 1, 1986 Acting Chair Carroll moved, Caponi seconded, to approve the minutes as presented. The motion carried. MINUTES OF MAY 15, 1986 Commission member Alt made the motion, seconded by Bertz, to approve the minutes of the special meeting as presented. All voted in favor. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS 1. INFORMAL REVIEW 20 -ACRE PARCEL WEST OF MOONEY LAKE (CHATTERTON POND). The proposal is for 26 higher priced single family homes just south of St. John Neumann Church. The Commission was asked to review trail alignments that would affect the proposal. At the present time, there is a trail along the south edge of Mooney Lake. There is a sliver of parkland along the east side of the lake, however it would be very difficult to put in a trail due to the steep terrain and heavy forestation. Bob Engstrom, representing Robert Engstrom Associates, suggested the Commission consider trail links to connect the development to Patrick Eagan Park via the south edge of the lake to the St. John Neumann and Pilot Knob Road trail rather than construct a trail around the lake. He presented slide pictures of the area. In reference to the trail that is under water, Mr. Engstrom noted the control level of the lake is set by the D.N.R. and right now the level is 2' above the high water elevation. 1 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. June 5, 1986 Parks Recreation Director Vraa said there should be a 20' easement for construction of a 5 -8' blacktop trail. He said the trail along the south edge of the lake is 5' wide. He stated the City would have to acquire an easement along the high water elevation line for trail construction on the north side and that would consume many of the lots adjacent to the lake. There was discussion as to potential for development north of the lake. Director Vraa pointed out there are 3:1 slopes, making it very costly or perhaps impossible to put in a road. Commission member Masin wondered if residents would like to be able to walk around the lake. She and JoAnn Alt requested a field trip to the area prior to the July meeting. Commission member Caponi thought the City should have a trail and should acquire easements as development occurs. Acting Chair Carroll thought the trail could be dangerous for bicyclists, possibly leaving the City vulnerable to a lawsuit. Parks Planner Stephen Sullivan said if a wood chip path was put in, it would readily wash out. A blacktop trail would be tempting and dangerous for cyclists. It was the consensus of the Commission to view the site prior to making a recommendation. The item will be on the July agenda with a tour of the site scheduled for 6:45 P.M. at the regularly scheduled meeting of July 10. NEW BUSINESS 1. 1986 BLACKRAWK PARK L.C.M.R./LAWCON GRANT Director Vraa announced that the City stands to receive a $25,000 L.C.M.R. grant. If the grant is accepted, the City would not be eligible for a grant next year. In addition, the project application would have to be amended to adjust for the lesser monies received. The City could well wind -up putting in much more money than originally planned. If the City rejects the grant, it could apply in 1987. He recommended the Commission turn down the $25,000 on the basis that it is too much of a financial burden to take on. Commission members agreed with Mr. Vraa's recommendation and on a motion by Bertz, seconded by Kubik, the Commission recommended declining the grant. Director Vraa was directed to send a letter to the State declining the monies for the reasons outlined above. The motion carried. Mr. Vraa was excused from the meeting at this point. 2. 1987 1991 C.I.P. REVIEW The parks section of the C.I.P. was distributed with the packet and Commission members were asked to forward any comments to Director Vraa. It was noted there was reference to possible bond referendums for a new community center. Acting Chair Carroll moved, seconded by Bertz, that the C.I.P. be accepted as distributed. The motion carried. 2 OLD BUSINESS Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. June 5, 1986 1. TRAMWAY HAMPTON HEIGHTS Mark Parranto, representing Frontier Companies, requested reconsideration of the trailway requirements for Hampton Heights. He objected to the trail placement in the front yards of many of the lots. He stated that Coachman Road is no longer considered a collector street and should not be subject to a trail requirement. Mr. Parranto noted that the lots have been reconfigured to discourage through traffic and feels that people can use the streets as a trailway. Mr. Parranto stated further that the trail requirement for Hampton Heights is unreasonable, is contrary to City code, and he would actively oppose it. Parks Planner Stephen Sullivan commented that even though the lots have been reconfigured to discourage through traffic and Coachman Road has been downgraded, the Commission must decide if the reasons for having a trail are still valid. He noted that the trail policy is flexible and the Commission must determine if this is a necessary trail link. Acting Chair Carroll stated it is the goal of the City to provide trails to parks. Quarry Park is a neighborhood park for the Hampton Heights Subdivision. He said that staff had drawn up another route for the trail, that is along Coachman to the corner of Hampton Heights, along easement through a lot and then within road right -of -way to Ashbury Street. (There is a trail proposed along Ashbury Road connecting to Blue Cross /Blue Shield Park.) It was noted that the new route has some spots of 10% grade and there is a 14' drop from the City's public works lot to the other side of the adjacent Hampton Heights lot. Staff felt the new alignment was workable and could serve to alleviate Mr. Parranto's concerns about an 8' trail along residents' front yards. Commission member Porter questioned the need for a trail. He thought the children could use existing streets. He did not want them crossing Yankee Doodle Road to get to the.park. Further he didn't think having a traffic signal at that intersection would do much to insure children's safety. Commission member Kubik wondered if we should channel people to Quarry Park. He felt the Commission should have more information before making a decision. It is particularly important to know if a traffic signal is planned for the Coachman /Yankee Doodle Road intersection. Commission member Masin felt it was much too difficult to cross Yankee Doodle Road. Mark Parranto stated he would be at the June 17 City Council meeting seeking final plat approval. He wondered if the Commission could recommend that if a traffic signal is placed at the intersection, a trail will be required. If a traffic signal is not to be installed at the intersection, then a trail will not be required. He noted that he is working with the public works department to berm the back lots of Hampton Heights to screen the public works building and he plans to plant trees there also. Such activity would directly conflict with staff's suggested new alignment of the Coachman Road trail. Commission member Kubik observed that all of this commentary is new to the Commission and it is difficult to make a decision without a complete staff report. Commission member Caponi supported Mr. Kubik's contention. Acting Chair Carroll reiterated it is a goal of the City to have trail links between parks. He also recognized the potential traffic problem on Yankee Doodle Road and didn't want to compound the problem. He did not know if the proposed trail route is feasible. He concluded by stating the Commission is not in a position to make a decision based on the information available. He asked if staff could provide the necessary information in time for a special meeting to be held prior to the June 17 Council meeting. Commission member Kubik moved to table, seconded by Ketcham. All voted in favor. Staff was requested to research information on if and when there will be a traffic signal at the Coachman /Yankee Doodle Road intersection. Alternate routes for trails to both Quarry and Blue Cross /Blue Shield Parks are to be reviewed. Information on changes being considered in the public works landscaping plans are to be provided. On a motion by Carroll, seconded by Porter, the special meeting date was set for Wednesday, June 11 at 7 P.M. The motion carried. Mr. Parranto stated that the owner of Outlot B wanted the City to have the parcel for development as a skating rink. He said that if the City was not interested in that proposal, he would buy it from the owner. Mr. Parranto said he intended to combine Outlots A and B for future development. Commission member Bertz observed that the "gift" had been discussed previously by the Commission and there was little interest in the proposal. Director Vraa had not voiced interest in the proposal either. Acting Chair Carroll moved, seconded by Bertz,. that Outlot B not be acquired and utilized as a skating rink. The motion carried with Masin abstaining. She stated she did not have enough information upon which to base a decision. 2. FAIRWAY HILLS ATHLETIC SITE Staff had prepared a detailed report of alternatives for athletic sites. Commission members felt the item had been fully discussed on previous occasions. Based upon the staff report, the. Commission was ready to make its recommendation. Commission member Bertz thought the City should have the Ohmann site for soccer, Northview for ball fields and the Barr property for future athletic complex. Regarding financial concerns of the Ohmann purchase and Fairway Hills dedication, Commission member Kubik suggested staff work out the best deal for the City. The land swap versus acquisition should be done to the City's advantage. Commission member Kubik moved, seconded by Caponi, the recommendation to acquire the Ohamnn /Northview /Barr sites for approximately $600,000. The motion carried unanimously. In a follow -up motion, Commission member Kubik moved, Bertz seconded, that the land swap with the developer vs. park dedication from the developer be accomplished to the net gain of the City. All voted in favor. 1 1 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. June 5, 1986 Dated: PARKS DEVELOPMENT Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. June 5, 1986 Commission member Bertz commented that the soccer fields at the Ohmann site should be for youth; but as needs change and the population ages, the designated use at Ohmann may have to change. She felt the residents should be put on notice as to the possibility of lighted fields in the future. There was general agreement among Commission members with her comments. 1. PARKS CONSTRUCTION UPDATE Parks Planner Stephen Sullivan noted that there will be a great deal of construction starting in the next couple of weeks. The lights will soon go up at Goat Hill Park. O'Leary and Cinnamon Ridge Parks have been seeded and mulched. Grading for the pavi.11ion at Trapp Farm Park will start next week. In response to a question, there will not be a swimming beach at Trapp Farm Park and it will be signed "No Swimming The lake would have to be dredged in order to make a decent swimming beach. OTHER BUSINESS 1. PARKS MAINTENANCE UPDATE 2. RECREATION PROGRAM REPORT Both reports were included in the packet. Acting Chair Carroll, on behalf of the Commission, spoke very highly of the professional, knowledgeable staff, the work they have accomplished, and the reports they have prepared. 3. JULY MEETING DATE Because the July 3rd meeting date would be held so close to the holiday, the Commission voted to reschedule the meeting date for July 10. Commission member Masin moved, Caponi seconded, and all voted in favor. ADJOURNMENT On a motion by Alt, seconded by Ketcham, the meeting was adjourned. Time of adjournment was 10 :17 P.M. Advisory Parks Recreation Secretary MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION CITY OF EAGAN JUNE 11, 1986 SUBJECT TO APPROVAL The special meeting was called to order by Chairman Martin at 7:20 P.M. Members present were: Martin, Kubik, Thurston, Porter, Ketcham and Carroll. Members Alt, Bertz, Masin and Caponi had indicated they would be unable to attend. Staff was represented by Landscape Architect /Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan and Administrative Assistant, Liz Witt. Mark Parranto of Frontier Midwest was also present. Chairman Martin announced that the only item on the agenda was the trailway for Hampton Heights. He said, the Commission's concern should be for a trail, not whether the street is or isn't a collector street. Mark Parranto stated he had three concerns: 1. With the exception of Riverton, there are no other trailways along City streets. The proposed Hampton Heights trail would impact approximately 40 homes in the development. 2. Coachman road is not a collector street. Covington is the only 32' street that has a sidewalk. 3. The City ordinance does not preclude a trail recommendation, but it does say they should be along collector streets. Mr. Parranto said, that he had no problems with putting a trail along Lexington as part of his developments there, but with the change in status of Coachman Rd, a trail should not be required. Commission member Carroll commented that at the June 5th Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the suggestion was made to have Hampton Heights residents utilize trail connections to Blue Cross /Blue Shield Park a much safer route. Commission member Thurston felt that children are not so concerned about safety and would take the most direct route to get to where they want to go. Commission member Porter expressed concern with truck traffic to and from the Public Works garage. He would like to see a trail along the east side of Coachman Road so the residents could get to Yankee Square Shopping Center. He did not see a need to cross Yankee Doodle Road to get to Quarry Park. Commission member Kubik said, there are 130 homes in Hampton Heights which should have access to Yankee Doodle Road and to a park. There was a general discussion about the feasibility of a fairly straight trail which would require easement from two lots in Hampton Heights. Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan, said that four to six feet of material would have to be removed from the crest of the hill and then there would be grading through the two lots to construct a trail with an acceptable grade. Mr. Parranto objected to that, as he has all of the lots sold. He indicated he will be on the June 17 City Council agenda for final plat approval. Construction would start soon after. 1 Members in favor: Martin, Porter, Carroll, and Ketcham Members opposed: Thurston and Kubik The motion carried. Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. Special Meeting June 11, 1986 Further discussion then focused on a trail along Coachman Road as it curves through the development. Commission member Carroll said, that a trail fronting on 40 lots could cause a lot of interruption on the driveways. Commission Chairman Martin said, there are trails on Blue Cross Road, Yankee Doodle Road and Asbury Road. Perhaps there was no need for a trail in Hampton Heights. He did not see a natural flow through the reconfigured neighborhood nor a need to connect to Quarry or Blue Cross /Blue Shield Parks. He did feel it was important to have a trail along Coachman Road from Yankee Doodle Road to the northern boundary of Hampton Heights. Commission member Kubik expressed dismay that the preliminary plat had been changed and the Commission had only seen the first proposal. Now, the Commission cannot make a preferred recommendation, because the lots have already been sold. There was general consensus not to require a trail on Coachman Road as it winds through Hampton Heights. Further, there should be a trail to Yankee Doodle Road along Coachman Road, north of Hampton Heights. Chairman Martin moved, seconded by Porter, to recommend the following: 1. A trail through Hampton Heights will not be required. 2. When Outlot A/B is developed, there should be trail dedication along Coachman Road. The Commission members agreed that the City will still require trails as development occurs and such trails will be required whether a collector street or not. It was suggested that staff review and amend the ordinance as necessary, to reflect the commission recommendation. The Commission did not take official action, because Hampton heights was the only agenda item. However, the Commission recommends a trail along the east side of Coachman Road to the southern boundary of Outlot B. Then the trail should be on the west side to the southern boundary of Public Works property. The Commission suggested that fencing will have to be installed on the public works property to ensure security. Staff was requested to provide copies of the City Code to Commission members if possible to do so. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 P.M. Dated: Advisory Parks and Recreation Secretary 2 SUBJECT: REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT "CHATTERTON PONDS" APPLICANT: ROBERT ENGSTROM LOCATION: SW o, SECTION 22 EXISTING ZONING: A. AGRICULTURAL DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 24,1986 DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 10, 1986 REPORTED BY: CITY OF EAGAN PLANNING ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS: Two separate applications have been submitted re- questing a rezoning from an Agricultural to R -1 (single family) district and a preliminary plat for "Chatterton Ponds This development consists of 27 new lots and an existing home site on 19.06 acres located immediately south of St. John Neumann Church. ZONING LAND USE: The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this site R -1 (single family). Five zoning districts abutt this parcel: Public Facilities (church) to the north, Agricultural west of Pilot Knob Road and to the northeast, Parks to the east, R -3 Townhouse (the "Pines to the south and R -1 (Hilltop Estates) to the south. The existing home site, the Chatterton residence, is situated on a knoll where one side falls towards Mooney Lake. This portion of the site is a grassy openland spotted with mature oak. The Chattertons have cows in this area also. Dense understory vegeta- tion, mature trees and ponding areas cover the rest of the site. Most of these trees are hardwood species and special care should be demonstrated to save as many as possible. A rather steep slope (3:1) to Mooney lake will require erosion control attention to assure that the water quality will not be affected. CODE COMPLIANCE: The 20 lots give this project an overall density of 1,47 units per acre, well within the Code requirement of 0 3 units /acre. All lots exceed the 12,000 S.F. minimum and range in size from 16,500 S.F. to 42,370 S.F. Variances will be required on lots 17, 18, 21, 22, 25 and 26 to allow less than 50' of frontage at the curb line as required by Code. This will provide access to home sites in areas where roadways are not feasible. CHATTERTON PONDS JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 2 SITE PLANNING: A single- divided access will serve this development from Pilot Knob Road near the center of the western property line. The original location was along the southern portion of the pond and was shifted south after a staff recommendation. By doing so, future development west of Pilot Knob Road could occur with the new streets aligning and without disturbing as much of the wooded area on that side of the road. Proposed Chatterton Road will loop to the east, south of a large ponding area and will then branch off to form two tear drop cul -de -sacs with islands. It is from these cul -de -sacs that the variance to the frontage requirements is necessary. The developer has shown building pad locations for lots 25 and 26 to ensure Code setback requirements are adhered to. This development will have an association for several reasons: 1) to maintain architectural control and unity within the project. 2) to provide maintenance in "common areas" and in the cul -de -sac islands. 3) to have trash removal on a single, scheduled basis. 4) possibly for snow clearing. COMMENTS: The developer has met with the Parks Department several times to discuss parks issues and dedication requirements. An existing trail on the south side of Mooney Lake will be connected by a 30' pathway easement to the easternmost cul -de -sac. This will provide an uninterrupted pedestrian connection all the way to Patrick Eagan Park once the Mooney Lake elevation is lowered. A similar 30' trail easement from the western cul -de -sac to the undeveloped property to the north will allow pedestrian circulation as well as a potential emergency ingress /egress to the site. A road connection to the north appears unlikely due to the severity of the slopes. GRADING /DRAINAGE: This proposed development incorporates the majority of the low lying drainage basins receiving surface water runoff from the property east of Pilot Knob Road between Deerwood Drive and Berry Ridge Road. This proposed development incorporates several knolls and side slopes surrounding the three internal drainage basins with the maximum elevation differential of approximately 35' occurring in the extreme northeast corner. All drainage runoff generated from this proposed development will be directed to the internal drainage basins (JP -36 and JP -35) which will be interconnected through a combination of surface drainage swales and underground storm sewer pipe. The ultimate discharge of these drainage basins is into Berry Patch Park and Mooney Lake (JP -7) to the east. With no positive outlet for Mooney Lake currently existing, it has exceeded its proposed future flood elevation and cannot accept anv additional runoff. CHATTERTON PONDS JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 3 However, Pilot Knob Road (County Road 31) is proposed to be upgraded during 1987. Part of this upgrading will require the development of these internal drainage basins and the permanent outlet for Mooney Lake towards Patrick Eagan Park to handle the runoff generated from this County road improvement. This storm sewer outlet to handle both Pilot Knob Road and this proposed development will be discussed under Project 473 which will have its public hearing held on July 15, 1986. If this project is approved, downstream storm sewer facilities will be adequate to handle this proposed development. This development will be responsible for all internal storm sewer laterals necessary to handle surface water runoff generated from this development and to intercept the surface water runoff from the Pines development located to the south. The final grading, drainage and utility plan shall show all storm sewer pipes constructed to the edge of existing or controlled water elevations, whichever is lower. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth is immediately available adjacent to the south property line near Pilot Knob Road. Internal extensions of a sanitary sewer lateral system will adequately service all proposed lots. However, staff does not concur with the proposed lateral extension along rear lot lines adjacent to the north edge of Pond JP -35 to service Lot 16, 17 and 18 due to limited accessibility for preventative and corrective maintenance, as may be necessary. Each parcel should have its individual sewer service constructed to public right -of -way. Water main of sufficient size and capacity is located along Pilot Knob Road to service this proposed development through an internal lateral extension. STREETS /CIRCULATION: Due to the existing boundaries and severe topography of property adjacent to all three sides of this proposed development, and the location and configuration of the internal drainage basins, there is no other feasible alternative for development of this property without a variance to the City's maximum cul -de -sac length ordinance (500'). Development boundary and topographic constraints result in the two cul -de- sacs and one bubble being necessary for reasonable development of this property. The staff has no objections to the proposed internal islands of each cul -de -sac subject to their development. incorporating maintenance free landscaping. Final detailed design should be subject to staff's review and requirements. Access to Pilot Knob Road (County Road 31) will be subject to approval from the Dakota County Highway Department. Its optimal location in relationship to minimizing impact for the McCarthy parcel across the road would result in the entrance being located approximately 300' north of the south boundary line. This 30' shift of the proposed center line will also better comply with the County's intersection spacing guidelines. CHATTERTON PONDS JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 4 The proposed center island at the entrance from Pilot Knob Road should be eliminated. Also, although the internal streets are proposed to be publicly dedicated, they do not meet current ordinance requirements for width (26 -28 vs. 34). These streets should be brought up to City standards if they are to be publicly dedicated. EASEMENTS /RIGHT -OF -WAY: Sufficient drainage and ponding easements should be dedicated for the internal drainage basins adequate to protect the necessary ponding storage volume requirements and interconnecting storm sewer systems. The configuration of these drainage easements will be determined upon submission of final detailed plans for review by the Engineering Division. If the standard street width requirements are maintained, staff is recommending that the public right -of -way dedication be 60' in lieu of the proposed 50' width. The staff concurs with the proposed 30' pathway easements from the terminal cul -de -sac to Mooney Lake with the final alignment being approved by City staff. Sufficient right -of -way for Pilot Knob Road shall be dedicated as required by Dakota County to facilitate the proposed upgrading of Pilot Knob Road. Restricted access shall be dedicated on the final plat for all frontage along Pilot Knob Road on either side of the proposed street access point. All other internal drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated as required by City ordinance and /or final detail plan submittal and reviewed by City staff. ASSESSMENTS: Trunk area sanitary sewer and water have been previously assessed on all the land proposed to be developed under this subdivision. Trunk area storm sewer is proposed to be assessed under Project 473, which will have its public hearing on July 15. However, the proposed assessment under this project does not take into consideration the proposed development into single family lots. Subsequently, significant credits have been calculated under the "large lot" policy which would be voided under this proposed development. Therefore, as a condition of final plat approval, this development shall agree to assume its trunk area storm sewer assessments based on a single family development. Appropriate credit will be given for any related assessment that may be approved under Project 473. CHATTERTON PONDS JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 5 This development has not paid its related lateral benefit assessments from the existing 27" trunk sanitary sewer along the south and west boundary of this plat or the 12" trunk water main along Pilot Knob Road when they were originally installed. Therefore, this development shall accept these postponed assessment obligations as a condition of final plat approval based on the rates in affect. These amounts are estimated as follows: Storm Sewer To be determined based on final plat area calculations and ponding credits. Sanitary Sewer 580' +300' -150' (corner lot credit) 730' $14.35/FF $10,475 (Proj. 8 8II) Water 1/2 (600') $11.88 /FF 3,564.00 (Proj. 24A) With the restricted access being dedicated to Pilot Knob Road other than the public street access, there will be no assessment associated with the Pilot Knob Road upgrading. Representatives of the Engineering Division will be available to discuss these concerns in further detail with the Planning Commission or City Council at the appropriate meetings for formal review and approval. TAC /jj CHATTERTON PONDS PAGE 6 CONDITIONS: 1. A variance shall be granted for the length of cul -de -sac street construction. 2. All internal right -of -way shall be a minimum of 60' in width. 3. All internal street construction shall meet City standards for width with final cul -de -sac design being approved by the Engineering Division. 4. All grading, street and utility construction shall be in conformance with current City engineering design standards. 5. All drainage, utility and ponding easements shall be dedicated with the final plat of sufficient size to accomodate all public utilities, ponds and trailways. 6. This development shall assume all costs associated with the installation of streets and utilities to service this subdivision. In addition, it shall be responsible for the additional trunk area storm sewer assessments associated with this single family development. 7. The final plat shall not be approved until the outlet for Mooney Lake (JP -7) has been ordered by Council action. 8. The Pilot Knob Road access center island shall be eliminated. 9. The association shall be responsible for the maintenance and planting of the cul -de -sac islands. 10. The existing farm animals (cows) be removed prior to building permit issuance. 11.

CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICANT: DESIGN COLLECTIVE (EARL JESPERSEN) PARK FOREST APARTMENTS LOCATION: S.E. 1/4, SECTION 16 EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 24, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 11, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION: Two separate applications have been submitted by The Design Collective requesting a rezoning of a 32 acre A (Agricultural) parcel to R -4 (Multiple) and a preliminary plat for 420 Apartment units. This site is located west of Federal Drive and 35E in the SE 1/4 of Section 16. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this site as R -1 (Single Family) and R -2 (Mixed Residential). Therefore, an amendment to the Comprehensive Guide Plan will be required. ZONING AND LAND USE: This development is surrounded by agri- cultural (A) land to the north, 35E to the east, Blackhawk Glen (R -1) to the west and the northernmost portion of the Blackhawk Planned Development. This P.D. has both R -3 and R -4 districts bordering the proposed apartment project. An undeveloped portion of the Blackhawk Hills single family development is to the immediate southwest of the site. The topography is rolling with knolls and depressions. Existing vegetation consisting primarily of elm, cottonwood and popler is scattered, often found in the depressed areas. CODE COMPLIANCE: The 420 units give the project an overall density of 13.13 units /acre. Code requires that the minimum setback shall be increased by 1 foot for each foot of height over 35 feet. The building on the NW is shown approximately 30 feet from the Pacific Avenue R.O.W. where a 50 foot setback along a public street is required. Building sections and elevations have not been submitted but staff was told that these buildings would be similar in scale to the Lemay Lake Apartments. Therefore, this building would need to be moved to the south to meet code compliance. This may also be the case on the northeastern most building that is 50 feet from the property line. All other setbacks meet code requirements. The 420 units will require 420 indoor parking stalls included with the rent in order to provide the 420 10' x 20' outdoor spaces being proposed. 1 PARK FOREST APARTMENTS JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 2 SITE PLANNING /LANDSCAPING: The six dwelling buildings are serviced by two main divided entries from Federal Drive on the east and south and by a single access from Pacific Avenue on the north. The drives converge to the center of the site (south of the pond) where the 3,000 S.F. clubhouse is situated. Amenities located in this area include a spa for 10 people, 2 outdoor raquetball courts and 2 tennis courts. The Parks and Recreation Department will require a trailway along Federal Drive for the entire length of the project along with a cash dedication fee. A preliminary landscape plan has been submitted by an out of state architect that will need to be strongly upgraded to meet City standards. On multifamily projects, one tree per unit is the minimum standard. This would allow for performance standards enabling the City to require a more dense screening from roads, parking areas, trash enclosures and especially different adjacent land uses. Building heights and landscape plans submitted on proposed grading plans are necessary to provide adequate buffering. Existing trees should be carefully located in an effort to save as many as possible. The detailed plan required for final plat approval should be done by a landscape architect familiar with native species. GRADING /DRAINAGE: The preliminary grading plan the developer submitted for this development is feasible. The applicant does, however, propose on filling some of Pond JP -2 which is located at the north end of this proposed project as shown on Figure 1. This pond is designated as a future City detention pond in the Storm Sewer Comprehensive Plan. The developer has shown on the preliminary grading plan that he can provide the necessary ponding area by reshaping the pond somewhat. Before the City can approve the final plat for this development, the City must authorize the project to construct the outflow pipe from Pond JP -2. The City installed a portion of this pipe under 35 -E during its construction. The portion west of Federal Drive to Pond JP -2 and the portion east of 35 -E to Pond JP -3 remain to be constructed. UTILITIES: City Project 432 provided for the installation of sanitary sewer through the middle of this development to provide service to the Royal Oaks Addition immediately north of this proposed development. The sewer is deep enough and of adequate size and capacity to provide service to this development. A 30" trunk water main will be brought to the northwest corner of this proposed development. This water main is being constructed under City Project 451. The contractor will complete this work this summer. PARK RIDGE APARTMENTS JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 3 With this development, staff recommends extending this 30" trunk water main to Federal Drive. From there it can easily be put across the freeway because the City had the casing pipe installed with the Interstate construction. This line can then tie into an existing 30" line within Duckwood Drive, west of Pilot Knob Road. Figure 2 shows how the completion of this water main fits with the City's Comprehensive Trunk Water Main Plan. Staff recommends the Council not approve the final plat for this development until the Council authorizes the installation of the 30" trunk water main. Also according to the City's Master Plan, the 8" water line proposed within this development should be brought to the southwest corner of this development to connect to an existing 8" line servicing the Blackhawk Hills Additions. This, along with a 30" line, will complete the City's trunk water system west of 35- E in this area. STREETS: Federal Drive borders this proposed development along the east with Blackhawk Road bordering this development along the south. Pacific Avenue will be brought to the northwest corner of this development with the platting of the Hampton Heights Addition. Both Federal Drive and Blackhawk Hills Road are built to their ultimate design sections. Staff has no problems with the two access points proposed. Both appear to have adequate sight distance. The developer proposes on extending Pacific Avenue about 500' east. The extension of Pacific Avenue will require a 30' easement from the property to the north. Because this street is proposed to temporarily deadend, the City will require the construction of a temporary turn around. In the future, this street could connect to Violet Lane. This development is responsible for a 5' concrete sidewalk along Federal Drive, its west property line. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: The only right -of -way necessary for this development to dedicate is a 30' half right -of -way for Pacific Avenue. MnDOT acquired the right -of -way for Federal Drive and Blackhawk Hills Road with its I -35E right -of -way acquisition. It may be necessary for this development to dedicate an additional 5' of right -of -way for the sidewalk along Federal Drive. At this writing, staff has not been able to determine the right -of -way for Federal Drive becuase it was included with the I -35E right -of -way acquisition. The City will require the dedication of a ponding easement over Pond JP -2 encompassing the 852 high water elevation. The City will also require a 20' utility easement over the storm sewer outflow line from Pond JP -2 and a 20' utility easement over the 8" and 30" water main. PARK RIDGE APARTMENTS JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 4 Also, as a condition of final plat approval, this development will be required to obtain the necessary street easements for Pacific Avenue and its turn around from the property to the north. PERMITS: This development will require permits from the Minnesota Department of Health for water main extension. Also, a sanitary sewer extension permit from MPCA will be required. ASSESSMENTS: In researching the City's assessment records, staff found that this development is responsible for trunk water area assessment and upgrading the trunk area storm sewer assessment from single family to multifamily because of the proposed R -4 use. This development will also be responsible for the lateral benefit from trunk water main assessment resulting from the 30" trunk water main construction as shown on Figure 3. The following table summarizes these assessment obligations of this development. ASSESSMENT SUMMARY TABLE Est'd 1986 Description Quantity Rate Amount Trunk Area Water 27.2 (1) $1,190 /Ac. $32,370 Trunk Storm Sewer Upgrade 1,186,140 (1) 0.014 /sq.ft.

"q CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT, 'THE TRAILS OF THOMAS LAKE' APPLICANT: NEW HORIZON HOMES LOCATION: OUTLOT C, THOMAS LAKE HEIGHTS, NW 1/4, SEC. 2 EXISTING ZONING: R -3 IN THE BLACKHAWK P.D. DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 24, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 6, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPTS. ZONING AND LAND USE: Outlot C is surrounded by the recently approved Deerfield Apartments to the north, Thomas Lake Heights quads to the east, the .Highline Trail to the south and an•un- developed R -4 district to the west. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this area as a mixture of Parks (P) and Mixed Residential (R -2) with a density of 3 -6 units /acre. The site has steep slopes and drains primarily into a pond on the southern portion of the site and off -site to the east. SITE PLANNING: Clemson Drive will be continued west for approxi- mately 200 feet and then proceed north forming Beacon Hill Court. All of the quadraminium buildings exceed the 30 foot front yard setback and have more than the 30 feet between buildings which was required in the Thomas Lake replat in 1983. Clemson Drive continues west to the property line where a temporary cul -de -sac will be constructed until development in the R -4 district occurs. The Williams Brothers Pipeline easement extends 40 feet into this plat along the eastern property line. There are no setback problems. Each quad unit will be served by two private entry drives most of which are 14' wide. Code requires 1 indoor parking space and one outdoor space for each unit. This is provided with the parking area in front of each garage. COMMENTS: This development will have an association to control trash pickup and maintain the common areas. The architectural styling /color of the buildings will be the same as that in the Thomas Lake Heights Addition. A preliminary landscape plan has been submitted and should need little or no revisions. GRADING /DRAINAGE: This development incorporates a section of land with considerable variations in topography and elevation with the maximum differential of approximately 40' in the center of the plat. Approximately the northern two thirds of this development will direct its surface drainage to the northeast into the drainage basin within the Thomas Lake Heights 2nd Addition which is ultimately connected through a series of storm sewers to the system within Thomas Lake Road. The lower third of this development will direct its surface water runoff to the THE TRAILS OF THOMAS LAKE JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 2 south into the Highline Trail drainage basin Pond BP -6. This southerly drainage basin currently receives runoff from the Mallard Park and Woodgate Additions and does not have an outlet presently available. A future outlet would be provided through the installation of a storm sewer lift station and force main discharging into Thomas Lake Road. However, at the present time, this drainage basin is able to handle all current drainage and anticipated future runoff from this lower third portion of the proposed Trails of Thomas Lake Addition without requiring the installation of this outlet. STREETS /CIRCULATION: Due to the existing topography and property line constraints, it is not feasible to eliminate the proposed cul -de -sac to the north. This cul -de -sac will require a variance due to its length exceeding the maximum 500' allowed by City Code. Clemson Drive is proposed to be a continuation from the Thomas Lake Heights 2nd Addition eventually connecting to Johnny Cake Ridge Road through the future development of the Wilmus property to the west. The center line of Clemson Drive is shown approximately 625' north of the south line to allow its extension to Johnny Cake Ridge Road to conform to the proposed future parkland dedication associated with the development of the Wilmus property. This stub street portion of Clemson Drive will have to have a full right -of -way and cul -de -sac constructed until such time that the adjacent properties develop to allow its continuation. The staff supports the proposed configuration of the cul -de -sac street and Clemson Drive intersection which will help to provide continuity but yet discourage through- traffic due to the turning movement required. Staff recommends that the name "Beacon Hill Court" be changed to avoid confusion with the Beacon Hill Subdivision located south of Cliff Road. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth has been stubbed to the east property line of this proposed subdivision to be extended upon a future development such as this. Althought the western boundary represents the major drainage district divide for sanitary sewer, it is recommended that the sanitary sewer lateral be extended to the west property line to provide maximum flexibility for future development of the unplatted property and park land to the west. Water main of sufficient size and capacity is availabe to handle this proposed development with the lateral extension through this property. With the development of the Thomas Lake Heights Addition, a water main stub has been provided in the northeast corner to be picked up by this proposed development through the cul -de -sac for proper looping and fire protection which is not shown on the preliminary utility plans submitted. The water lateral should be stubbed to the west property line to provide for future extension and continuity of the water system. Other details associated with the installation of sanitary, storm sewer and water main must meet the current City engineering standards at the time of final plan review and approval as a part of the final plat process. THE TRAILS OF THOMAS LAKE JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 3 EASEMENTS /RIGHT -OF -WAY: The drainage and ponding easement of sufficient size and storage volume shall be dedicated over the southern portion of this plat necessary to meet the requirements of the Master Storm Sewer Plan for drainage basin BP -6. The final alignment and configuration of this easement will be defined at the time of final plat approval. All other internal utility line easements will be defined after final engineering review of utility plans and shall be dedicated as a part of the final plat. All other public right -of -way dedication meets the City Ordinance and engineering requirements for this type of subdivision. However, additional right -of -way or roadway easement will have to be conveyed to the City to accomodate the construction of the temporary cul -de -sac at the western end of Clemson Drive. ASSESSMENTS: All trunk area assessments for sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer have been previously assessed under Projects #88, 237 and 256, respectively. No new additional assessments are required as a condition of final plat approval. However, all costs associated with the installation of streets and utilities to service this subdivision and its future extension to the west boundary line will be the entire responsibility of this subdivision. Representatives of the Engineering Division will be available to discuss any aspect of this report during the review process before the Planning Commission and /or City Council. THE TRAILS OF THOMAS LAKE PAGE 4 CONDITIONS: 1. All detailed utility and street improvement plans shall be designed in accordance with current City engineering standards and requirements. 2. Additional right -of -way and /or roadway easements shall be conveyed to allow the construction of the temporary cul -de- sac for Clemson Drive on the west boundary. 3. A variance must be granted prior to final plat approval for the excessive length of the cul -de -sac. 4. Street name for the cul -de -sac shall be changed to Clemson Court or Circle. 5. The water main shall be looped from the cul -de -sac to the existing stub in the northeast corner. 6. All drainage, ponding and utility easements shall be dedicated on the final plat as required by City staff subject to final detail plan review and approval. 7. This plat shall be subject to all of the applicable conditions in the Blackhawk Park PD Agreement. 8. One Homeowners Association shall control "The Trails of Thomas Lake 9.

PARK #1 AND OUTLOT A EAGANDALE OFFICE PARK GB (GENERAL BUSINESS) LI (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL 24 JUNE, 1986 13 JUNE, 1986 PLANNING AND ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS: Three separate applications have been submitted by Opus Corporation requesting a Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit for a six story "Compri Hotel The plat will consist of 2 lots with the second lot a proposed restaurant facility. This 7 acre site will require rezoning from GB (General Business) and L -1 (Light Industrial) to a commercial planned development on lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1 in the Eagandale Industrial Park No. 1 and Outlot A in the Eagandale Office Park. The site abuts Pilot Knob Road to the west, Corporate Center Drive on the south and the new 5 story Sperry Corp. Building to the northeast. This Rezoning and Preliminary Plat will require a comprehensive guide plan amendment. COMPRI HOTEL: The proposed 6 story (70' tall) 190 room hotel will be the first hotel along the 494 corridor in Eagan. Compri Hotels contain only first class guest rooms and amenities are limited. No large scale meeting rooms are proposed and restaurant facilities will be provided for guests only. Since the building is over 3 stories, a Conditional Use Permit will be required. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) will also require the hotel to have an interior noise level of 50 decibels or less. An application for a restaurant liquor license will be submitted to the City in the near future. The architectural styling of the hotel will attempt to blend with the Sperry Building that is nearing completion. The brick and glass exterior will be accented by the tinted glass stair tower and canopied entries. The brick trash enclosure on the western side of the building will be accessed by a service drive and employee parking area. Additional plant material along with the existing oaks will screen this portion of the site. COMPRI HOTEL PAGE 2 Access to the hotel will be from a separated entry drive that lines up with Corporate Center Drive. This entry drive will loop in front of the hotel to a canopied entrance on the east side of the building. PARKING AND STORAGE City Code requires one (1) parking stall per dwelling room and one (1) additional space for each eight (8) units. This would require 214 stalls for the hotel alone. Due to the proximity of the airport and that the restaurant facilities within the hotel are private, fewer parking stalls are being proposed. 110 10' X 20' stalls (9' X 20' employee) are shown on the site plan. No pylon signs are proposed. The main signage will be building mounted on the stair towers. Code requires: 1) That no more than one (1) business sign for each major street frontage shall be permitted on a building for each business located within such building. 2) All business signs mounted on a building shall be similar in design. 3) No signs or combination of signs mounted upon a building shall cover in excess of 20% of the gross area of side. 4) The signage shall not project more than 10" from the vertical surface of the building. LANDSCAPING: A preliminary landscape plan has been submitted and special care will be used to save as many of the existing oaks as the site plan allows. Additional plant material along Corporate Center Drive similar to that in the Eagandale Office Park (Pilot Knob Road and Avalon Ave). All 3:1 slopes and the twin 6' retaining wall areas will need careful landscape plant material selection. The 2:1 slopes will require "ground covers" to stabilize the slopes and to provide for little or no maintenance. LOT 2: This proposed restaurant facility is not scheduled for construction until the hotel is near completion /or completed. Although the lot will be platted, Opus Corporation will submit site plans to the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council for review and approval prior to the Issuance of the building permit. The Code requires one (1) parking stall for each three (3) seats based on the capacity of the restaurant. 79 10' x 20' stalls are proposed thus enabling an approx. 240 seat Class 1 (sit down) restaurant to be built on this lot. The restaurant will have a separate vehicular entry of its own and can share the access to the hotel if so needed. COMPRI HOTEL PAGE 3 GRADING /DRAINAGE: The grading proposed on the preliminary grading plan is feasible. It will require two 6 ft. high terraced retaining walls northeasterly of the proposed hotel building. These are required due to the large natural ravine running down the easterly property line of this proposed development. These retaining walls will allow the developer to grade to 3:1 slopes. The 3:1 slopes appear to be the steepest slopes proposed over this development. These slopes are the minimum allowed for maintenance. The natural topography slopes to the north and the proposed grading plan does not change any of that. This development lies within the center of Major Drainage District H, as shown on Figure 1. The developer is proposing some internal storm sewer to collect runoff from the parking lots and directed into a City trunk line located along this development's easterly property line. This line flows into the City's trunk line located adjacent 1 -494, which eventually ends up into the Minnesota River Valley. The 54" trunk line connects with a 27" trunk line from Pilot Knob Road at Pond HP -3 as shown on Figure 1. However, recent study of the Eagandale Center Industrial Park area indicates that the capacity of the 54" pipe cannot be exceeded due to flow restrictions upstream. Therefore, Pond HP -3 does not appear to be necessary. The applicant's engineer is preparing a revision to the Master Plan for the Eagandale Center Industrial Park area to handle the storm water runoff by adding additional upstream ponding areas. As a result, staff has no concerns with the encroachment into the ponding area HP -3 as shown on the grading plan. This project will not require any trunk storm sewer improvements on behalf of the City. UTILITIES: According to City record plans, sanitary sewer and water services were extended to Lots 2 and 3 of the Eagandale Center Industrial Park. The water service was a 2" diameter line and the sanitary sewer service was a 6" diameter line. Both appear to be at elevations that will suit the proposed building sites. In lieu of this, staff questions the necessity for the separate sanitary sewer line proposed by the developer. Because this line connects to an MWCC collector, the developer will have to obtain the necessary permits to connect into this line. Also, because this proposed sanitary sewer connects two lots, it would have to be turned over to the City with an easement dedicated over the line. Staff recommends using the existing sanitary sewer services if possible. The disadvantages of the proposed sanitary sewer line include: 1. MWCC connection permit required. 2. Access for maintenance more difficult than the existing sewer within Corporate Center Drive. This development will not require any extension of any City trunk water or sanitary sewer lines. COMPRI HOTEL PAGE 4 STREETS: Corporate Center Drive and Pilot Knob Road abut the southerly and westerly portions of this proposed development. Pilot Knob Road is under the jurisdiction of Dakota County with controlled access. Corporate Center Drive is a collector street for the Industrial Park. Neither roadway will require any upgrading as a result of this development with the exception of possible signalization when traffic warrants it. It is presently being discussed as a part of the County Highway 5 -year Capital Improvement Program. The applicant's grading plan shows the primary driveway to this development lining up with Corporate Center Curve which is necessitated by the potential high traffic volume associated with this proposed development. Staff estimates the hotel would generate about 2,000 trips per day based upon full occupancy. The miniumum throat widths for each driveway access shall be 30'. The separation between driveways is 200' which is the minimum separation staff would recommend on a collector street such as Corporate Center Drive. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: This development will not be responsible for dedicating any additional street right -of -way because the City has already obtained the necessary right -of -way through previous platting. This development shall dedicate a 20' utility easement adjacent the Corporate Center Drive property line. The remaining easements shall be dedicated in accordance with City Code. Staff recommends the developer dedicate a 10' utility easement lying southwesterly of the easterly property line. The existing easement is too narrow to reasonably perform any repairs to the sewer line which may be necessary. If the developer cannot use the existing sanitary sewer services and must build a new sanitary sewer line, then the developer shall dedicate a 20' utility easement over the portion of sanitary sewer line designated as a City line. PERMITS: If the developer cannot use the existing sanitary sewer services and must build a new sanitary sewer line, then the developer will be responsible for the following permits: 1. MPCA sanitary sewer extension permit. 2. MWCC connection permit. ASSESSMENTS: All trunk area assessments have been levied. COMPRI HOTEL PAGE 5 CON^ITIONS 1) All standard platting, rezoning procedures be adhered to. 2) This project shall be subject to a Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment. 3) All signage code requirements be adhered to. 4) The trash area, perimeter parking be screened from public streets. 5) A detailed landscape plan be submitted with emphasis on saving the existing oaks and providing ground cover plant materials on all 2:1 3:1 slopes. The plan will be bonded and not released until one year after the installation. 6) The total number of parking stalls be approved as the site plan demonstrates. 7) A separate liquor license be issued for the hotel's restaurant. 8) Lot 2 be subject to site plan review by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council. 9) The plat be subject to the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission recommendations and the Parks dedication fee. 10) The main access drive to this site line up with Corporate Center Curve 11) The two accesses into this development be separated by a minimum of 200' and be a minimum of 30' wide. 12) A 20' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent the Corporate Center Drive right -of -way. 13) A 10' utility easement be dedicated adjacent the easterly lot line for sanitary sewer purposes. 14) This development will be responsible for MPCA and MWCC permits if required. nom 1232112.7.4"p T(jjEFI-I� 7l'ACR llS S RiEy 8D'• Z HNDfR ; f J �j i_.I __� i`A �l SPERRP NEW HOLLAND DIVISION OF SPERRY AMERICAN FRUIT a PRODUCE Mc EE f GND 5:11:1 nRUACDII ID7 y 15 LEXINGTON STANDARD VILLAUME BOX LUMBER ROADWAY EXPRESS 2.. 10 THE DONALDSON COMPANY •ws14 CARSON PIRIE SCOTT NATIONAL BUILDING CENTER RED OWL/ SNYDER DRUG it afiA 404 tm Eva.

YEW i A LAWN EXISTING TREES CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT FAWN RIDGE 2ND ADDI APPLICANT: SIENNA CORPORATION RODNEY HARDY LOCATION: PART OF THE SA, SEC 25 PART OF THE NE 1/4 OF THE SE a SEC 26 EXISTING ZONING: R -2, LEXINGTON SOUTH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 24, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 18, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING DEPT APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted to revise the site plan and preliminary plat of the Fawn Ridge 2nd Addition which consists of approximately 33.7 acres and will contain 68 single family lots which deviate from the R -1 Residential Single District lot size requirement. ZONING LAND USE: Presently, the parcel is zoned R -2, Mixed Residential, with a density of 3 -6 dwelling units per acre under the Lexington South Planned Development agreement. This agreement was entered into by the owner of the property and the City in 1977. The Eagan Land Use Guide designates this parcel as R -I, Single Residential District, with a density of 0 -3 dwelling units per acre. Since there is a Planned Development Agreement governing the land, the Development Agreement for Lexington South Planned Development would supersede the density allowed in the Comprehensive Guide Plan. BACKGROUND: The preliminary plat, Fawn Ridge, was originally presented to the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council in late 1983. There was some discussion in regard to lot size and the original plan approved consisted of 93 single family lots, which deviated from the lot size criteria, 44 twinhome lots, 88 dwelling units for a total of 181 dwelling units. The applicants phased this development into two phases of which the first phase has been constructed and built. The applicants are now looking at the second phase for development. In the second phase, there are 37 duplex lots and approximately 23 smaller single family lots for a total of 97 dwelling units to be constructed. Since 1983, the applicants have changed their development concept and would like to develop the entire tract of Fawn Ridge into single lots. The revised plat carries the same circulation FAWN RIDGE 2ND ADDN., JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 2 pattern, which was approved in 1983, and deviated some of the lot lines to correspond with their new development plan. The net reduction in the second phase of development would be 29 dwelling units. This revised preliminary plat and site plan will now carry the connotation of all single family lots in the Fawn Ridge Addition. The lot sizes in the Fawn Ridge 2nd Addition will exceed the lot size criteria in width and area. Most of the lots in the second addition have a lot width of 75' with a few lots dropping to a width of 70' at the 30' setback line. Therefore, the lots in the second addition exceed lot sizes in the first addition in both area and width. In review of this revised pr e; liminary plat and revised site plan for the Lexington Place Planned Development, the question should be whether this is a better use of the land than what was originally approved in the Fawn Ridge preliminary plat. GRADING /DRAINAGE: Staff has reviewed the preliminary grading plans submitted by this applicant and found it to be feasible. However, staff does have a few recommendations which the applicant should incorporate into his final grading plan. Staff recommends the applicant provide overland emergency drainage ways at all low points in the roadway. This can be accomplished by grading a slight swale down the property lines in the area of the roadway low points. Although the applicant proposes to fill a portion of Pond LP -33, the amount is not significant and will not adversly affect the total amount of storage volume available for Pond LP -33. The net reduction in high water area amounts to about one -tenth of an acre. This equates to a reduction of about 3.0% of the high water ponding area. In staff's opinion, this is not significant. Besides, the available storage volume for this pond is about 12 acre feet compared with the required storage volume of 8.5 acre feet. This proposed development lies within Major Drainage District L as shown on Figure 1. Based on the applicant's grading plan, staff estimates about 75% of the drainage flows into Pond LP -33. The remaining drainage flows into Pond LP -65. LP -33 presently has an outlet to Pond LP -61. This pond is experiencing high water problems because it has no positive gravity outlet. However, Council authorized a project on June 17, 1986, providing an outlet to this pond and several other downstream ponds under Project 444R that will eliminate the high water problems. This project is scheduled for completion late this fall. UTILITIES: Staff reviewed the utility layout for this development with the original Fawn Ridge preliminary plat application in 1983. The minor changes and revisions that the Fawn Ridge 2nd Addition proposes from the original Fawn Ridge FAWN RIDGE 2ND ADDN JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 3 preliminary plat do not result in any changes in the utility layout for this development. It is feasible to provide sanitary sewer and water service to this lot by extending the existing utilities from the Fawn Ridge 1st Addition. Staff does recommend, however, that the applicant extend the water main from north Hay Lake Road to Cliff Road. This will allow for future connection to the City's 20" trunk water main along the north side of Cliff Road when it is installed. STREETS: Dodd Road borders this development along the east and Cliff Road borders this development along the south. Dodd Road is designated as a City collector street. It is not currently built to its full 9 -ton 44' wide collector street status. Cliff Road is presently a two lane rural highway under the jurisdiction of the Dakota County Highway Department. Staff discussed the accesses onto Dodd Road and Cliff Road in the original engineering report in 1983. Staff has no concerns regarding these accesses. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: This development shall be required to dedicate a 40' half right -of -way for Dodd Road and a 65' half right -of -way for Cliff Road. The developer shall dedicate all easements required by Code. Also, the developer shall dedicate a 20' utility easement over all public utilities not located within public right -of -way. Lastly, the developer shall dedicate the necessary ponding easements for Pond LP -33 and Pond LP -65. ASSESSMENTS: The trunk area related assessments for this development have been levied. However, the future extension of the 20" trunk water line along Cliff Road will generate a lateral benefit to this proposed development. Staff recommends having this development assume the lateral benefit at this time rather than waiting until the 20" trunk water main is constructed and this development is built. In accordance with City policy regarding lateral benefit from trunk water main, staff proposes that this development is responsible for one -half its net frontage adjacent Cliff Road or approximately 620'. The 1986 rate for lateral benefit from trunk water main is $11.88 making the total estimated obligation of this development about $7,360. The final amounts will be determined by the final plat distances and the rates in effect at the time of final platting. 111 other costs resulting from the installation of internal public streets and utilities for this development will be the sole responsibility of this development. FAWN RIDGE 2ND ADDN JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 4 CONDITIONS: 1. The final grading /drainage plan shall include emergency overflow swales at all street low points. 2. The water main shall be extended from North Hay Lake Road to the Cliff Road property line. 3. A 40' half right -of -way and a 65' half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Dodd and Cliff Road, respectively. 4. This development shall dedicate the appropriate ponding easements over Pond LP -33 and Pond LP -65. 5. This development shall dedicate a minimum 20' utility easement over all public utilities not installed within public right -of -way. 6. The right -of -way at all street intersections shall contain a 20' radius. 7. This development shall be responsible for a lateral benefit assessment from future trunk water main along Cliff Road at the rates in effect at the time of final platting. 8. This development shall be responsible for obtaining the necessary permits /approvals from MPCA, MWCC, Minnesota Departmeant of Health, and Dakota County Highway Department. 9. All costs associated with the installation of internal public streets and utilities shall be the sole responsibility of this proposed development. 10. The plat should be reviewed by the Dakota County Plat Commission because the plat abuts County road right -of -way. 11. The deviation from the standard lot size requirements shall be approved for the plan dated 5- 14 -86. 12. The plat shall be subject to the Park Commission's review for trail requirements along County Road 32 and Dodd Road. 13. All standard plat conditions shall be required for this development.

These temporary structures were built approximately fourteen to fifteen years ago. The structures serve as winter warming houses and summer park playground shelters. The structures range in size from approximately 10 x 18, to as large as 10 x 20. For the last several years, parks maintenance people have attempted to make necessary repairs. Because of the rotting conditions to structural members, substantial repairs are nearly impossible to accomplish. Commission members are probably aware of the "sagging" floors at Well Site and Carnelian. In addition, there are several code violations associated with these structures. For example: the electrical connections and electrical box at Well Site Park. A recent painting project has helped improve their appearance yet most remain as "unsightly Commission and Staff have previously discussed the condition of these temporary facilities, and where it is obvious that repairs are not feasible, then a replacement program be initiated. Staff has done a preliminary review of available options and presents them to the Commission for discussion at this time. PROGRAM USES Of the eight (8) temporary structures, six (6) are used for warming houses in the winter. (Highview, Well Site, Lexington, Carnelian, Woodhaven, and Pilot Knob.) Of these six facilities, only two are used for summer playground programs: Carnelian and Woodhaven. Oak Chase Park with a temporary facility, is only used in the summer for summer playgrounds. The eighth facility is at Northview Park and is being used for temporary storage. Staff intends to remove the structure at Oak Chase Park at the conclusion of the summer playgrounds program, and the one at Northview with the completion of the new facility this fall. The primary purpose of the temporary structures are for winter warming houses. Generally, 200 to 2 square feet is an acceptable space requirement. Obviously, heat, lights, doors, and windows are a program requirement. The use of enclosed structures for summer playgrounds is desirable, but not necessary. Open sided sun shelters can provide adequate space for most playground activities. Generally, 120 to 180 square feet should be adequate. A small, secure, and lockable box approximately 3 x 5 can hold most of the playground supplies needed at these open shelter locations. This is currently being used at many of the existing summer playground sites, which do not have the benefit of an enclosed area. IN SUMMATION Of the six structures used in the winter time, only two are used for summer playgrounds. More important to summer playgrounds, than enclosed structures, is at least a covered facility providing for shelter from rain and sun. Winter needs are heat, lights, doors, windows. In all cases appearance and maintenance must be considered. OPTIONS Staff has been reviewing several options for providing replacement facilities within parks. These include: a pre -fab concrete structure; wood construction, rental and pre -fab wood buildings. RENTAL. Because of the short duration of the winter skating program, the use of temporary, rental structures has some appeal. This past winter season the department rented two trailer units for the winter programs: one at Ridgecliff Park and one at Goat Hill. Rental costs were approximately $1,200 per unit. These trailers are equipped with electrical heat, lights, windows and doors. The advantages of these structures is that they are a relatively inexpensive way to provide for enclosed space versus a large capital investment of several thousands of dollars. On the other hand, there are certain limitations. The 8 x 24 size proved to be totally inadequate at major high demand access such as Goat Hill Park, and larger sizes are not readily available. Set -up and take down becomes a problem, with additional annual expense incurred for hay bales and skirting around the trailer to provide some insulation from wind. Electrical hook -up must also be done by an electrician. Due to their light weight construction, security is also an issue of concern. Light weight door locks and framing can easily be forced opened for entrance. Flooring must be added amounting to additional expense for materials and labor to install. Aesthetics and handicap accessibility also are of concern. PRECAST CONCRETE BUILDINGS Staff has reviewed a precast concrete building from Weiser Concrete Products, Inc. of Maiden Rock, Wisconsin. These buildings (see attachment) are panelized for assembly and erection. A variety of finishes can be selected, with 2" or 4" rigid insulation. Erection can be done in two to three days, either on a concrete slab or aggregate base. A 24 x 16 structure, with two doors, two windows, insulated, and a broom exterior finish, including erection, is estimated at $8,500. (To this cost, should be added heat, lights, and flooring, which are not part of the building package). These facilities are obviously durable, reasonably priced, with a certain ease of installation. Costs for heating and lighting is yet to be determined, pending direction from the Advisory Commission. A major drawback to these facilities are their appearance within a park location. They project a "fortress" like appearance for the neighborhoods. Obviously, their advantage is the low initial investment, permanency, and security. WOOD FRAME CONSTRUCTION Staff has done a materials estimate for a similar wood structure of 16 x 24. All materials, but not including any electrical or heating, is estimated at This does not include labor construction costs. Staff has estimated labor cost would be between forty (40) and forty -five (45) percent of materials cost. The obvious advantage of wood frame, construction is that you can vary the size to meet the needs of the particular park. Aesthetically, they would fit into each of the sites and would be much more attractive than any of the rental or concrete pre -cast buildings. The security could be enhanced through steel framed doors and secure locks, minimizing the problems associated with the temporary portable facilities. Similar to the wood frame structure is a turn -key structure. School District #196's experience with "temporary class room structures" has generally been successful. These outdoor classrooms are wood frame construction set up on concrete blocks from ground level. These facilities are insulated, heated, air conditioned, and with lights, windows and doors, are costing the school district approximately $25,000 a structure. These buildings measure x PRE -FAB BUILDINGS Another alternative is a pre -fab wood facility which the Commission is familiar with, from it's review of the current building construction program. As warming houses, Staff does not believe that the pre -fab have any advantages over stick -built facilities. However, as open shelters, or sun shelters, the pre -fab could play a significant role. INDIVIDUAL PARK NEEDS In the next section, initial staff recommendation, an attempt has been made to group parks together i.e., winter /winter and summer, and summer to help identify building needs. However, we should not overlook the issue of "individual park needs aesthetics of the park, park facilities, and use patterns. These have an equally important role in identifying the type, size and permanency of any structure within a park. STAFF FACILITY RECOMMENDATIONS In terms of meeting the needs of the program elements, staff is recommending that open space shelters be provided at parks which have only playgrounds. For example: Walnut Hill Park and Oak. Chase Park, would require "pavillion" type facilities. Where "winter only" facilities are needed such as: Well Site and Highview rental /trailer facilities must be considered. Locations with both winter warming houses and summer 2laygrounds, and have "high demand" needs such as: Goat Hill and Rahn a permanent structure typical of what is now being built at Goat Hill should be considered for other locations i.e., Blue Cross /Blue Shield and Quarry. Staff does not yet have a recommendation for facilities /parks which are "low demand" winter and summer. The staff does feel that a building smaller in scale than the building going in at Goat Hill should be considered further. The affect of this recommendation on existing "temporary" building site: Affect on other parks under construction Staff also recommends that an not have a summer playground for picnics, etc. KV /bls Well Site Highview Pilot Knob Oak Chase Northview Carnelian Woodhaven Lexington Blue Cross /Blue Shield Quarry Walnut Hill MeadowLand Ridgecliff Rental trailer Rental trailer Rental trailer Open shelter Permanent facility No recommendation No recommendation No recommendation (replacement) Pending further review Pending further review Pending further review Permanent facility Permanent facility Open shelter Open shelter No recommendation Pending further review open shelter be considered for parks, which may program, as a park fixture for public park use WIESER COMMERCIAL Precast Concrete Gives You Before you buy check the superior features of WIESER PRECAST OUILDIIIGS When you invest in a building of any type whether it be for commercial, industrial, farm, utility, residential or storage use, you want the best building you can possibly get for your money. That's why it will pay you well to take a hard look at all the features and advantages of a precast concrete building before you make your buying decision. PERMANENCE Precast concrete panels won't rust, warp, rot or bend like other building materials. You are assured of long life without deterioration. MAINTENANCE -FREE Concrete wall panels provide maintenance -free exteriors that will save you time, labor and expense year after year. FIREPROOF Concrete walls won't burn and they won't support a fire. Non combustible building walls mean lower fire insurance rates, and for the storage of combustible materials, these buildings meet OSHA requirements. Wieser's exclusive dry cast system for manu- facturing wall panels produces a more uniform, denser, stronger concrete. Panels up to 8" thick can be made on the WIESER DRI CASTER machine, with the full complement of insulation and exterior options available. INSULATION QUALITIES Wieser precast walls are available without insulation, or with 2" or 4" rigid insulation. Each panel features full length and width insulation. ENERGY SAVING The thermal inertia of concrete effectively controls the inside temperature of concrete buildings, thus providing annual energy cost savings for both heating and cooling. The temperature retention value of concrete also provides initial savings because of the reduction in the size of heating cooling equipment required. FAST ERECTION Unlike other construction methods which involve more man hours, precast concrete buildings can be erected in a fraction of the time. Small buildings can be put up in a day or two while larger size units may only require 3 or 4 days. Conventional wet cast panels provide flexibility for custom fabrication of panels to accommodate your specific needs, including the placement for various size door and windows. Larger panels, up to 8 ft. x 20 ft. x 6" thick are constructed with this method. Solid and 2" insulated panels with a full range of exterior finishes are available. ore Building for tied Ir.. •Wetcast or cast wall has 4" insu- .betfiVeert the 2' outer Ad T inner wall.

The "inside" story of Wieser's proven quality construction The "Superior Sleeve System" employed by Wieser in the construction of wall panels is a method that has been used in the building of large commercial and industrial buildings. The "non-composite:' 2" front and 4" back panels are held together with a stainless steel sleeve that permits the exterior panel to expand and contract with summer heat and winter cold. The 4" load-bearing back panel supports the roof structure. t's Both front and back panels are reinforced with rodding and heavy mesh wire. Insulation is available as shown below. WELDED WALL JOINTS Recessed weld plates, imbedded in the top corners of each wall panel, are used to fasten panels together. Insulated 8" Wetcast or Drycast wall features 2" insulation between 2" outer wall and 4" -load bearing inner wall. SUPERIOR SLEEVE SYSTEM. Stainless steel 6" sleeve with reinforcing rods ties the outer wall panel to the inner wall while permitting expansion and con- traction. Stainless steel pins inserted in the concrete hold the insulation firmly in place. WIESER'S Attractive, Custom Designed Buildings -Built to Meet Your Needs Wieser precast concrete buildings can not only be custom designed to meet your specific functional requirements, but these modern buildings can be constructed with contrasting panels to provide a distinctive appearance. Panel exteriors are available in six styles as shown below. Each of these panels provides an exterior finish that requires no maintenance...another sound reason for investing in a precast concrete building. Light Broom Raked Heavy Broom Small Agregate An economical storage building constructed with 12' high x 8' wide waffle panels. Stucco -Swirl Large Agregate Door and window panels can be incorpr)rntod into unlit building design to modate your needs. Steel or wood frames cast into the panel won't work loose.

The rigidity and strength of each wall panel permits the use of eco- nomical pier footings. Continuous footings are used where necessary. Wall panel joints are caulked with DYmeric sealant over a polyeth- ylene joint backing to provide a moisture proof joint. MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: JULY 3, 1986 RE: MISCELLANEOUS PARK PARCEL REVIEW ISSUES Over the past several months, Staff has been contacted by several owners /developers regarding the City's plans for parks associated with particular land parcels. In addition, Staff has been contacted by still others, who are inquiring to determine if the City is interested in their land for parks purposes. Staff feels that it is appropriate that the Commission at least be informed about these discussions, review each of the parcels, and provide additional direction to Staff where appropriate. The Commission may prefer to do a more through review by an appointment of a sub committee to meet with Staff, detailed discussions, or by discussion as a committee as a whole. The various parcels involved are as follows: 1. Park Section 36 W, a 43 acre parcel on Cliff and Dodd Roads (Peterson parcel) proposed for development. A neighborhood park dedication is expected. 2. Park Service Section 33, the parcel south of Cliff Road and east of Beacon Hills addition (Brown property), a neighborhood parks dedication to be combined with existing four (4) acres of Walden Park. 3. Parks Service Section 10 W, parcel of land south of Lemay Lake, and west of 35E (Carl Olson). Possible development combined with previous indication of acquisition by dedication, and purchase for neighborhood and special use facility. 4. Parks Service Section 22, parcel is located adjacent to, and east of Pilot Knob Road see attachment is being offered for sale and inquiry to City Staff regarding City interest. 5. Parks Service Section 16, parcel is located adjacent to Yankee Doodle Road and is being offered for sale and inquiry to City regarding interest. 6. Parks Service Section 20, Blackhawk Park: Determination of City interest acquisition /additional property from Ed Dunn and Kathy Waldren. 7. Parks Service Section 28, parcel east of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and north of the Highline Trail (Willmus property). Development of the Willmus property resulting in a neighborhood parks dedication. 8. Parks Service Section 15, parcel on Crestridge Lane being offered for sale and determination of Park interest. Attached to this memorandum are reduction of quarter sections, showing these parcel locations. FOR COMMISSION ACTION: Staff will provide additional information and background on each of the parcels. Commission should determine the appropriate steps for further review of each of these parcels, or submit to a sub committee for further, more intensive reviewal; or make a recommendation as appropriate.
