MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: AUGUST 5, 1986
RE: AUGUST 7 COMMISSION MEETING
Preceeding the 7:00 p.m. Commission meeting, there will be an OPTIONAL TOUR of
park construction activities. Those wishing to make this option tour should
meet at the City Hall by 6:15 p.m. We intend to make a quick tour of Trapp
Farm Park and Walnut Hill, returning by 7:00 p.m. for a "busy" agenda.
After commencing the meeting, approval of the agenda and the minutes; there
are eight (8) development proposals for Commission reviewal.
WHISPERING WOODS
This is in Park Service Section #31 W to be serviced by the Winkler /Jackson
Park Dedication on the corner of Slater Road and James Street. Whispering
Woods plat proposes fourteen (14) single family homes on the west side of
Slater Road.
The department is recommending a cash dedication.
MARSTAD ADDITION
This is a request for four (4) single family lots on two (2) acres south of
Cliff Road, and west of Ridgcliff 1st Addition. This four lot addition would
be serviced by Ridgecliff Park.
The department is recommending a cash dedication.
WILDERNESS PONDS
This is in park service section #27, which is serviced by the combined
neighborhood parks of Oak Chase, Well Site, and Carlson Lake Park. Ravine and
Goat Hill Park are also in the service district. This development proposes
forty -one (41) lots on approximately twenty (20) acres south of Wilderness Run
Road between the Ches /Mar Addition and the Wilderness Run Addition. At the
planning Commission meeting on July 29, a resident spoke in opposition to the
plan, indicating that there was past action by the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Committee in 1973, for a nine (9) acre park in this area. Staff
had researched the minutes of the Eagan Park Committee from 1973 through 1974.
The minutes of July 9, 1973 reflect a discussion of Mr. Arnold Carlson and
Mr. James Frisbie regarding parks dedication. These minutes indicate that Mr.
Carlson would dedicate a six (6) acre piece on Pilot Knob Road, and a nine
(9) acre site in the "interior of his development for fulfilling "parks
dedication" requirements. Later minutes and actions of the Committee and City
Council resulted in the present Oak Chase Park, Evergreen Park, and Carlson
Lake Park. A private "Homeowners Association" was also deeded the peninsula
which extends into east Thomas Lake, as a private park. (This was recently
acquired by the City.) There was no additional reference to, nor has the
City taken any positive actions through the Comp Guide Plan, or Parks Systems
Plan in indicating any future parkland within this park service district.
Staff's recommendation, therefore, is to accept a cash dedication requirement.
BLACKHAWK ACRES SECOND ADDITION
Application has been submitted requesting preliminary plat for thirty -two (32)
townhouse units. Development is within Parks Service Section #16, and is west
of Blackhawk Road. The development is divided by Robin Lane, and is in an
area steep and with difficult topography.
There are three issues for the Advisory Commission to consider pertaining to
this proposed development: (1) a cash dedication, (2) the requirement for a
Tot -Lot, and (3) the necessity of a trail on Robin Lane.
Relative to a Tot -Lot, the Commission has typically looked at the number and
type of units being proposed, suitability of topography for development of a
tot -lot, distance from the nearest park area, etc. Discussions with this
developer indicates that he would prefer to provide for a wood chipped
pathway through the development and disbursement of some play equipment on
both sides of Robin Lane, rather than a single tot -lot. His reason for this
is his concern that children would be attracted to the single area, and have
to cross Robin Lane, which has the potential for being a busy street. The
Commission may wish to consider an alternative.
The Second issue is whether there should be a trailway on Robin Lane, as has
been suggested. The Trails Plan does not indicate the trail, and with
proposed trail routes on Silver Bell, Blackhawk, Highway 13, and Blue
Cross /Blue Shield; A question as to a trail is raised. The Commission should
reviewthisbeforemaking arecommendation.
LEXINGTON 1ST ADDITION
This proposal consists of One hundred sixty -eight (168) apartment units on
sixteen (16) acres within the Lexington South PUD. The site is east of
Lexington Avenue and south of County Road #30. As part of the Lexington South
PUD, there shall be no Parks Land Dedication, or cash dedication requirement
with this development. However, the Commission should review the proposed
development for the requirement of a tot -lot, and trailway on the east side of
Lexington Avenue.
WILSON ADDITION
Proposes four (4) lots on Blackhawk Road, north of the Blue Cross /Blue Shield
and the Blackhawk Road intersection. Commission members may recall that a
waiver of plat was previously approved on this site, creating two parcels.
This preliminary plat now creates the four lot sub division.
Staff is recommending a cash dedication requirement for the newly created
lots, and that an easement be provided if sufficient room is not available in
the road right -of -way for a future trailway development.
TOWN CENTER 70 5 TH ADDITION/TACO BELL
The above is being proposed by Federal Land Company in the Town Center 70.
Town Center 70 is responsible for construction of certain trailways within
it's development. It should be the responsibility of this plat to pay the
commercial /industrial parks dedication.
TOWN CENTER 70 -6 TH ADDITION /CAR CARE CENTER
The above is being proposed at the intersection of Pilot Knob Road and
Duekwood Drive.
It is Staff's recommendation that this plat be subject to a cash dedication
requirement, which is consistent with the City's commercial /industrial policy.
OLD BUSINESS
There are two items under "Old Business The first of which is: recent
action taken by the Dakota County Board of Commissioners on the "County
Bicycle Trails Plan Commission member Carolyn Thurston and Director of
Parks and Recretion, Ken Vraa were at the County Board Meeting on July 29th,
and will report on the County Board actions.
Enclosed for your review is an article from the newspaper on this particular
subject.
Staff would also like to update the Advisory Commission on Project #473, the
Storm Sewer Project impacting Mooney Lake and Patrick Eagan Park. City Staff
and the Consultant Engineer is to be meeting with residents of the Mooney Lake
area on Tuesday, August 5th at their request to discuss this proposed trunk
storm sewer. Staff will be reporting on the outcome of this meeting, and
other facets of this particular project.
NEW BUSINESS
First item under "New Business" concerns the Briar Hill addition, and a
trailway connection. Enclosed in the packet is a memorandum with attachments
from Tom Colbert, Director of Public Works, regarding the status of the
trailways. Mr. Colbert will be attending the Commission meeting to discuss
this issue.
Second item under "New Business" pertains to "user fees" for Trapp Farm Park
and other facilities. A separate memorandum has been included for
Commission's reviewal.
Third item under "New Business" is the updating of the Eagan Bicycle Trailways
Plan. The original plan was completed in conjunction with the Parks Systems
Plan Study in 1982 1983. Due to the pace of the development this
graphic /plan has become outdated. Staff is seeking authorization to use Tim
Erkkila and Westwood Planning and Engineering, to update the plan graphic, as
well as doing a brief reviewal to ensure that the original objectives and
trails program reflects today's needs. Staff has estimated that this work can
be completed in approximately 15 to 20 hours of consultant time, plus graphic
reproduction.
PARKS DEVELOPMENT
Staff will update the Commission on various activities associated with the
Parks Development Program, including the acquisition process for the athletic
sites. Staff will have met with Mr. Curry and Church representatives to
"firm up" a price for the land in question. Staff will present this, and
report a recommendation be made to the City Council regarding the acquisition
price.
OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS
There are three items under "Other Business and Reports which include the
discussion of the Commission picnic for September and September equipment
demonstration prior to the Commission meeting. A "Parks Maintenance Report"
outlining activities of the Parks Maintenance Division over the past month and
projects scheduled for August will be distributed.

MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE
ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
EAGAN, MINNESOTA
JULY 10, 1986
SUBJECT TO APPROVAL
A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission was called
to order by Chairman Martin at 7:05 P.M. in the Eagan Municipal Center
lunchroom. This meeting was preceded by a field trip to Chatterton Pond.
Members present were: Martin, Alt, Porter, Caponi, Thurston, Masin and
Ketcham. Commission members Bertz and Carroll notified staff they would be
unable to attend. Commission member Kubik was also absent. Staff members
present were: Parks Recreation Director, Ken Vraa; Landscape
Architect /Parks Planner, Stephen Sullivan; Planner, Jim Sturm; and
Administrative Assistant, Liz Witt. Public Works Director, Tom Colbert, was
present to discuss project #473, Trunk Storm Sewer Improvements, which will
impact Evergreen Park, Berry Patch Park and the Eagan Municipal Center.
AGENDA
Director Vraa added project #473 to the agenda under "New Business Chairman
Martin added discussion on the Hampton Heights approval process and necessity
to review code regulations regarding trails and landscaping. Commission
member Caponi moved, Ketcham seconded, to approve the agenda as amended. The
motion carried.
MINUTES OF JUNE 5, 1986
Commission member Alt moved, Porter seconded, to approve the minutes as
presented. All voted in favor.
MINUTES OF JUNE 11, 1986
Chairman Martin clarified his motion regarding the trail in Hampton Heights
"which shall extend from Yankee Doodle Road to the north boundary of Hampton
Heights on the east side of Coachman Road." On a motion by Masin, seconded by
Thurston, the minutes were approved as corrected. The motion carried.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
1. CHATTERTON PONDS ROBERT ENGSTROM PROJECT #473
The Commission had informally reviewed the Chatterton Pond proposal at its
regular June meeting. The development calls for 47 units on approximately 20
acres. The Director of Parks Recreation suggested the Commission combine
this issue with Tom Colbert's discussion of City project #473. Public Works
Director, Tom Colbert, explained how the area will be drained, specifically
how Mooney Lake and other ponds in the parks will be affected. He noted that
Mooney Lake is about 4' over the high water elevation right now and needs an
outlet. He said the trunk storm sewer project #473) through the area will
alleviate the drainage problem. Mr. Colbert said he will need sewer easements
and that this project represents the last segment of the area which drains
into the Minnesota River. Mr. Colbert stated that in response to the Director
of Parks Recreation, Engineering has reviewed the possibility of a lift
station, alternate routes and overland gravity flow. He noted the sewer pipe
will have to be put through two ridges and in between the ridges lies a fairly
large area at a lower elevation. He said if the water is not piped through
both ridges, it will flow to the depressed area and pond in the property' not
owned or controlled by the City.
Commission member Caponi wondered if somewhere in the area the water could be
allowed to flow above ground. He felt the water could be directed to form a
waterfall, a beautiful amenity for the area. He said the high ridges, ponds
and vegetation make it one of the last places in Eagan where a waterfall could
be added to the scenic beauty. He suggested that any possible erosion from
the water be corrected through the use of large boulders, gabions or timbers.
Mr. Colbert said that overland flow would be very costly. It would
necessitate cutting a swale, putting in a substantial amount of rip -rap and
other erosion control devices. Further, that the water would only flow during
and immediately after rains. He noted there are homes already constructed on
some lots so all work will have to be done on unplatted lots.
Chairman Martin liked the idea of a waterfall, but felt it might be too
expensive at the location Commission member Caponi originally suggested. He
wondered if the water could flow above ground between the small pond (JP #8)
and McCarthy Lake.
Commission Member Caponi urged the Commission to study the possibility. He
said that once the water is piped underground, the opportunity is lost. After
further discussion, the Commission members were in agreement with the need and
concept plan for the storm sewer project. Commission member Caponi moved,
Chairm Martin seconded, the following recommendations:
1. The Parks Engineering Departments
water flow overland from the most
Lake area.
2. The study should include a review
fits in the park system.
All voted in favor.
2
Adv. Parks Rec. Comm.
July 10, 1986
should study the possibility of having
feasible point in the Mooney McCarthy
of the small pond (JP #8) as to how it
Discussion then focused on a trail around Mooney Lake and through the
Chatterton Pond Development. The City owns property on the west side of the
lake and a trail would have to be extended through part of Lot 25, Chatterton
Pond, in order to access the west side of the lake. There were questions as
to the feasibility of having a trail along the north side of the lake because
of the steep terrain. The consensus of the Commission was to keep the City's
option open regarding future trails around Mooney Lake. They decided the City
should build the remaining trail segment on the south side of the lake to
connect to one coming from Chatterton Pond.
Commission member Thurston moved, Alt seconded, the following recommendations:
3. There be trail dedication and construction from the easterly most cul -de-
sac to the southeast corner of the development. (That trail will connect
to the City constructed segment along the southwest portion of the lake).
"4. The developer will be responsible for benching in a trail 2' above the
normal pond elevation and provide a trail easement through proposed Lot 24
to that portion of Berry Patch Park now inaccessible.
a. Cash dedication for all lots.
b. Trailway on Pilot Knob Road.
The motion carried unanimously.
Adv. Parks Rec. Comm.
July 10, 1986
2. PARK FOREST APARTMENTS DESIGN COLLECTIVE
This proposal calls for 420 apartment units in six buildings on 30 acres near
Blackhawk Glen. The Planning Commission denied the application and it will be
on the July 15 Council agenda. There was a brief discussion about the
amenities being proposed for the project if it is approved by Council.
Chairman Martin moved, Caponi seconded, the recommendation to receive cash
dedication, a trail requirement along Federal Drive, and an open recreational
area to be determined by staff. The motion carried.
3. TRAILS OF THOMAS LAKE NEW HORIZON HOMES
The project consists of 15 duplexes on Outlot C, Thomas Lake Heights, and will
be immediately east of a future parks dedication associated with Tom Willmus.
There is no park dedication requirement as the development is part of
Blackhawk Park P.U.D. Chairman Martin commented that if the preliminary plat
changes from this proposal, the Commission would like to review. No action
was necessary.
4. COMPRI HOTEL OPUS COPORATION
Planner Sturm said the hotel will be a six story, 190 room structure. There
will be a small restaurant inside, mostly for use by guests. He noted there
will also be a separate restaurant on the plat. Commission member Alt moved,
Porter seconded, the recommendation to accept cash dedication at the
commercial /industrial rate and require a trail on Pilot Knob Road, if not
already in place. All voted in favor.
5. FAWN RIDGE SECOND REVISED
This is an informational item only. The proposal was revised from townhouses
to single family units. No action was necessary.
6. JULY PROPOSALS JIM STURM
Planner Sturm said there is a variety of items on the July Planning agenda
including 20 acres of single family housing off Oak Chase Road, Whispering
Woods Development off Slaters Road near Cinnamon Ridge, and a possible
apartment development off Lexington near Diffley Road.
OLD BUSINESS
1. DAKOTA COUNTY BIKEWAY DAKOTA COUNTY BOARD HEARING JULY 29
Director Vraa announced he has received notice of a July 29th hearing by the
County Commission. He asked Commission members for their comments on the

attend the hearing on behalf of the Commission.
On a motion by Masin, seconded by Caponi, the Commission recommended that the
architect design a permanent structure for park shelters with flexibility for
individual site needs. The directive will include both warming houses and
open shelter buildings. The motion carried.

NEW BUSINESS
1. PARK SHELTERS PRELIMINARY REPORT
Director Vraa identified eight temporary shelters in various parks which are
in very poor condition. Six of the structures are warming houses and the
other two are open shelters. He noted that the Well Site warming houses need
immediate attention. He asked the Commission to decide on a process for
reviewing such structures. He cautioned that building replacement is not the
only answer and said the use pattern for a particular park will suggest what
type facility the park should have. Suggested options for replacement
structures include prefab concrete, wood, prefab wood and rental.
Chairman Martin said it was not feasible for the Vo -Tech to construct the
buildings. He wondered if the City could again construct portable buildings.
Director Vraa said that staff had reviewed that option and found it to be
costly. Commission member Thurston felt that most of the options presented
would not project the image the City would like to project. She felt that the
wood frame structure is the most feasible and that the Commission has already
done enough review, as a result of the current construction program, to know.
Commission member Porter thought the City should utilize rental trailers as a
phasing approach until a building is constructed. He noted that the City
can't afford to build everything. He said further that if the rental
structure starts to look tacky, it can be immediately replaced. Member
Ketcham said that rental can eat up a lot of money in five or six years and
you have nothing to show for it. Commission member Caponi suggested the
architect be commissioned to design a "smaller" shelter without restrooms for
the Commission to review. He said changes could be made before building any
structures. There can be variations of the building for each location.
Director Vraa asked if the Commission was favorable to using rental trailers.
Members Porter and Caponi said the trailers could be used while the permanent
shelter was being constructed, but all opposed the trailers as long term
solutions.
2. PARK PROPOSAL PREVIEW
Director Vraa identified eight parcels which might serve as possible park
sites:
1. 43 acres near Cliff Dodd Road
2. A parcel near Cliff Beacon Hill Road
3. Near Lemay Lake I -35E
4. Near Pilot Knob Rd. Deerwood
5. Near Yankee Doodle and Surrey Heights Road
4
6. Near Blackhawk Lake
7. Near Johnny Cake and Highline Trail
8. Near Crestridge Lane north of Fish Lake
PARKS DEVELOPMENT
Adv. Parks Rec. Comm.
July 10, 1986
The Commission agreed that a park was needed in the southwest corner by the
lake in the 43 -acre parcel 1 (Peterson) near Cliff and Dodd. They also agreed
to acquiring park dedication from the Cliff /Beacon Hill site 2 to make a
neighborhood park out of Walden Pa'k. Chairman Martin says there should be a
south entrance to Blackhawk Park and directed Parks Director Vraa to do some
more talking with Ed Dunn. The Commission agreed to place possible purchase
of the Waldron property north of Blackhawk Lake on hold, but to ask what the
purchase price would be. Dire Vraa was asked to get more information
about the Crestridge Lane parcel
1. STATUS REPORT DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
Parks Planner Sullivan said there are four active construction contracts on
nine parks. The parking lots are being finished at Ridgecliff and Rahn Parks.
The lighting at Goat Hill Park should be completed in a couple of weeks. Work
has started on the pavilion and warming house at Trapp Farm Park. Grading has
been completed at four parks with paving, sodding and seeding left to be done.
Play structures have been ordered for Walnut Hill and O'Leary Parks and one
will be ordered for Woodhaven. Yet to come are play structures for Pilot Knob
and Cedar Pond. The lighting contract for Trapp Farm Park has not been let.
He hopes the trail contract will be let in time to get trails done this year.
2. STATUS REPORT LAND ACQUISITION
Director Vraa reported that the City Council requested a report of all parcels
viewed as possible athletic sites with reasons why they were not further
considered. The Council is very supportive of the acquisition of more
athletic sites and wanted more information before they approved the purchase
of the Barr property. Director Vraa will present the report at the July 15
Council meeting.
Director Vraa reported to the Commission that the church owner of land near
the Northview Athletic complex has contacted him and wants to sell that land
to the City. A letter is expected soon. City ownership of that site will
allow expansion of the Northview Athletic Fields as planned.
OTHER BUSINESS REPORTS
1. CITY COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN
Director Vraa said he had worked with Planning Consultant, John Voss, to
update the parks section of the plan. The Council and Planning Commission
were meeting July 10 to review the revised plan.
2. TRAPP FARM PARK WATER ELEVATION
Director Vraa stated that the Council had approved the storm sewer
construction project which would allow the water elevation at Trapp Farm to
drop.
3. HORSE RIDING REQUEST
Director Vraa had been asked if horse riding was an approved activity along
the pipeline easement near Beacon Hill. Commission member Thurston thought
horse riding was only allowed and designated in Patrick Eagan Park. The
Commission will review the regulations when they receive copies of the City
Code.
ROUND TABLE
1. Chairman Martin wanted to know what the process is for developers who come
to the City with their proposals. After a brief explanation, Director
Vraa said he will ask City Planner, Dale Runkle, to attend the next
meeting to go over the process. An outline of the process and required
forms will be included in the Commission packet. Chairman Martin said he
did not want to see another Hampton Heights where the preliminary plat was
approved and a park recommendation given only to have further plat changes
which the Commission did not have an opportunity to review.
2. Chairman Martin wanted to be assured that copies of the City Code would be
made available, particularly so the Commission could document the
development process.
3. When asked about the status of the Kehne House, Director Vraa said the
house is now in good shape. There are new renters and they seem to be
reliable and interested in the upkeep of the house.
4. Chairman Martin asked Commission members to think about the annual picnic.
He said that prices might have to be raised. The item will be on the
August agenda.
5. Commission member Porter asked how often the trails are cleaned. He noted
there are a couple of spots along Lexington where debris has resulted from
washouts. Parks Director Vraa said the trails would be checked and bad
spots cleaned up and erosion control enforced.
ADJOURNMENT
Commission member Ketcham moved, seconded by Porter, that the meeting be
adjourned. Time of adjournment was 10:30 P.M.

MEMO TO: PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMISSION
FROM: JOHN VONDELINDE, SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS
DATE: AUGUST 6, 1986
RE: PARK MAINTENANCE /FORESTRY UPDATE
The purpose of this memo is to provide you with a progress report on Parks
Maintenance and Forestry activities, during the month of July, and to
highlight major work tasks planned for August.
JULY ACCOMPLISHMENTS -PARKS DEPARTMENT
Seasonal employees: This year's crew of seasonal employees is working out
extremely well. There have been many fine compliments from the public
regarding the quality of this year's mowing program. In fact, even members of
our own full time maintenance staff, have indicated that this year's mowing
crew may be the best yet. One reason for the success of this year's seasonal
maintenance crew may be in part due to a "Seasonal Employee Workshop which
was held the first week in June. This workshop included a: video tape on
public relations /service, presentations from our director, park planner and
recreation supervisor, and the review of a "Seasonal Employee Handbook"
covering such areas as: rules and regulations, job performance, work rules,
and public relations.
A new program of mid season evaluations was also implemented for this year's
seasonal staff.
RESTITUTION PROGRAM
At the writing of this memo, the Dakota County Restitution Program has
completely finished it's summer project of repainting all of our hockey rinks
and warming houses, within the City parks system. The rinks were completed
about one week ahead of schedule. This will allow our department to utilize
the program for the remaining time in tree planting and trail clearing
activities. A two -week extension of the program through mid August is also
being discussed. Eagan was fortunate in being the sole benefactor of the
Restitution Program this summer. All told, about 2,500 hours of "free"
maintenance labor was made available through this program.
In other areas, individual restitution workers have been utilized in a variety
of parks maintenance tasks. For instance, in August, a restitution worker has
been scheduled to repaint each of the park entrance signs, within the system.
This particular court referred volunteer is a professional sign maker by
trade, and offers twenty hours of community service work.
TWIN CITIES TREE TRUST
The Twin Cities Tree Trust work crew continued to make steady progress on the
installation of the tie -wall at Cedar Pond Park. About 50% of the wall is
currently in place. It appears that a two -week extension of the program will
be necessary to complete the project. The Tree Trust Program has scheduled a
second work crew to assist with the completion of the project by mid August.
Hopefully, a restitution worker can be found to stain the tie -wall later this
fall.
ARCHERY WALL
The archery range at Walnut Hill Community Park was completed in July. The
range offers five shooting lanes, with distances of up to forty yards.
Judging from the amount of use already, it appears that the range will have to
be ready for full use by mid August. Currently, there are three target bales
available for public use. Based on my inspections of other public archery
ranges in the Twin Cities area, it appears that the Walnut Hill Range is
probably one of the more aesthetic and functional public ranges available.
BENCH INSTALLATIONS
Seven new park benches were installed in Cinnamon Ridge, County Home Heights,
Evergreen, Thomas Lake, and Ridgecliff Parks. This brings the total number of
bench installations this year to twenty- three. Our intent is to install about
a dozen more this fall. This would bring the total to thirty -five. Fifteen
benches will be reserved for installation in the new parks in 1987.
RAHN TENNIS LIGHTING
Tennis lighting at the Rahn Tennis Courts was revamped with the installation
of new light fixtures and protective guards. There were recurring problems
with the old light system, of broken lenses from rock throwing and other
vandalism. The new fixtures offer a hardened glass lense and protective wire
mesh cover, which should help to reduce or eliminate the problems with
vandalism. The replacement of tennis lighting at Rahn Park would greatly
enhance the usability of the courts for evening use. Prior to our revamping
of the system, only four of the sixteen fixtures were actually functioning.
ATHLETIC FIELDS
Layout and striping of late summer and fall soccer fields was completed in
July. The softball season at Northview Park is slated to end on Sunday,
August 10, with culmination of the final tournament.
PLAY STRUCTURE INSTALLATIONS
Installation of the play structure at Evergreen Park was completed in early
July. The play structure at Cinnamon Ridge was completed in late July,
including a timber perimeter and pea rock base. There were plenty of
neighborhood tots supervising the installation!
TURF MAINTENANCE
The mowing of our parks continued on a normal basis. Efforts have been made
to upgrade the mowing crews standards to provide a better job of mowing and
trimming in our parks. Generally, I think that the mowing crew has done a
very good job. The Boulevard Maintenance Program has also proven to be very
successful. John Von Bank of our seasonal staff is responsible for the
boulevard program. John is capable of completing the entire twenty -six mile
route in a two -week period.
TENNIS COURT INSPECTIONS
A new program of tennis court inspections /repairs was implemented in early
June. Inspections and repairs are now made to our tennis courts on a routine
basis. Gary Skogstad, of our full time staff, is responsible for the program.
Gary has done a very good job, and I believe this is reflected in the quality
of our tennis courts this summer.
EQUIPMENT ACQUISITIONS
In June our department took delivery on two new vehicles, including a one -half
ton pick -up truck and trailer for the boulevard maintenance program, and a
three quarter 4X4 truck for general maintenance. Our department also purchased a
diesel groundsmaster mower for boulevard maintenance. Acquisition of power
tools included a new drill press, band -saw, and power -vac.
BASKETBALL COURTS
In July new nets were installed on all basketball courts within the system.
PICNIC KITS /PROGRAM
For many years our department has been furnishing picnic kits to residents
within the City. Under the old program our department was responsible for the
delivery and pick -up of volleyball standards to these residents on a weekly
basis. In July all of the volleyball posts were converted to a collapsible
system. Consequently, a resident can now pick -up a volleyball net with the
rest of the picnic kit. This will save our maintenance staff about four hours
per week of delivery and pick -up.
PICNIC TABLES
Twelve new picnic tables were constructed in July. Delivery was also taken on
sixty new frames for construction in August and September.
COMPOST SITE
The Parks and Forestry Departments have been taking an active roll in
management of the City compost site this summer. The Parks Department has
assumed responsibility for turning the compost piles on a weekly basis to
ensure maximum decomposition of the materials. The Forestry Department has
been responsible for chipping brush at the site. Our experience this summer
is that one or two days each week is required each week to manage the brush at
the compost site. Unfortunately this is taking some time away from the
regular forestry department activities in the parks system. This issue has
been addressed with the City Administrative Staff with respect to Staff
compliments in 1987. My proposal is that a second seasonal staff person be
budgeted in the Forestry Department to provide a more effective chipping
program.
FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION
Once again, this year, our department assumed several responsibilities for
setting up for the July 4th Celebration at Rahn Park. This included delivery
of tables, bandstand, security fence, signs, and the coordination of portable
restrooms. The celebration went off without too much difficulty.
AUGUST WORK PLAN PARKS DEPARTMENT
The following list represents the priority work program of the Parks
Maintenance Division in the month of August.
o Play structure inspection form: a new inspection program will be
implemented for the park play structures. The objectives of the program are
to ensure more regular and thorough repairs to our equipment and to reduce the
City's liability with respect to potential injuries.
o All of the park signs in the system will be painted by a restitution
worker in August.
o Security lights: An agreement has been reached with Dakota Electric for
the installation of concrete pole security lights in several of the City
parks. Dakota Electric is expected to begin their work in August.
o Twin Cities Tree Trust: Installation of the tie -wall will be continued
at Cedar Pond Park.
o Fishing Docks: Portable fishing docks have been ordered for Fish Lake
and Trapp Farm Parks. Delivery is expected in early August with early
installation of the dock at Fish Lake to follow.

burned to the ground by the City Fire Department in late August or early
September.
o Play Structures: Installation is expected to begin on the new play
structures at Walnut Hill and O'Leary Parks.
o Infield Preparation: Work will begin in August at Rahn Park, Goat. Hill
Park, and Walnut Hill Park. Our hope is to have these fields ready by the end
of this fall for early use next spring.
o Park Benches: Benches will be installed at the following locations in
August: Cedar Pond Park, Trapp Farm Park, Walnut Hill Park, and Lexington
Park.
o Entrance Sign: Trapp Farm Park: Department Staff expects to begin
construction of an entrance sign at Trapp Farm Park in August.

JULY ACCOMPLISHMENTS FORESTRY DEPARTMENT
PRUNING
The pruning of trees and shrubs was completed at most of the parks within the
system.
CEDAR POND PARS:
The planting box around the flag pole at Cedar Pond Park was replanted with
shrubbery. The old plant materials had over matured and could no longer be
maintained. In conjunction with this project an old electrical outlet box
was also relocated within the planting box to make it less visible.
FISH LAKE PARK
The clearing of box elders on the west side of the parking lot was completed
in July. This area will be used in the future as a picnic area and open play
area.
RAHN PARK
Forestry Staff removed the overgrown evergreen shrubs around the Rahn Park
shelter building. These shrubs had grown "out of control" and could no longer
be maintained. Future plans this fall call for the installation of a new
planting bed and shrubbery.
TRAPP FARM PARK
In preparation of the fall opening of this new park facility, the Forestry
Staff committed several days to removal of dead elm trees, and undesirable
trees. Final touch -up work will be required prior to the fall opening.
WALNUT HILL PARK
Forestry and Maintenance Staff completed the clearing of underbrush from the
hillside adjacent to the new archery range. The objectives of this project
were to (1) to provide a transitional forested area between the archery range
and the wooded hillside, and (2) make it easier for archers to find lost
arrows.
WOODHAVEN PARK
Pruning of trails within Woodhaven Park was completed. These trails were
heavily overgrown making hiking or equipment use difficult. Forestry Staff
also coorinated with the Summer Restitution Program in the planting of
approximately twenty new trees around the playstructure and tennis courts.
6
COMPOST PROGRAM
Activities in the management of the City compost site continued on a weekly
basis. Currently, Forestry Staff is committing one to two days per week in
the chipping of brush at the compost site. The program has proven to be more
successful than originally anticipated. City residents are hauling in a good
deal of brush and branches during the Saturday drop off date. As mentioned
previously, Staff is recommending the addition of a second seasonal forestry
aide in 1987 to provide better management of the compost site, and to increase
the availability of forestry staff for parks forestry and landscape
management.
Forestry Staff also completed the planting of approximately twelve Evergreen
and deciduous trees at the compost site to provide a measure of site
screening and beautification. The cost of this item was absorbed by the
County's Landfill Abatement Program.
Equipment acquisitions: In late July a new nursery digging attachment was
purchased for use with the new bobcat. This item should greatly speed our
removal of small shrubs and trees from City nurseries, and provide another
viable option for digging planting holes for smaller stock. The net result
should be a great savings in labor intensive time.
AUGUST WORK PLAN FORESTRY DEPARTMENT
o Forestry related work in the month of August will concentrate in two major
areas: (1) landscape plantings: It is hoped that work can begin on the
Phase I Landscape Plan at Trapp Farm Park by mid August. Landscape plantings
are also planned for Country Home Park, Lexington Park, and the Park Shelter
Building at Rahn Park. (2) Pruning of major internal trails is planned for
August. Affected parks include: Blackhawk, Patrick Eagan, and the Highline
Trail. Some assistance from the seasonal restitutional program is likely.
o Brush chipping within the parks is a routine item, which will continue through
the month of August.
SUMMARY
I trust that the above activity report and work plan has given you a good
discription of activities in the parks and forestry departments. If you have
any particular comments, questions, or suggestions, I would be happy to hear
from you. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
The next report on park activities will be provided at the October Parks
Commission meeting. That report will provide a briefing on accomplishments
during the month of September, and an outline of planned activities for
October.

PLANNING ENGINEERING
APPLICATIONS: Two separate applications have been submitted by
Burnsville Lumber Co. requesting a rezoning 'of 5.7 acres from A
(agricultural) to R -1 (single family) and a Preliminary Plat for
14 single family lots west of Slater Rd. The Comprehensive Guide
Plan designates this area as R -2 (mixed residential); therefore,
an Amendment will be necessary.
applicant has submitted an overall site
40 -acre Whispering Woods Additions. The
this overall acreage is zoned agricul-
the north and east contain sigle family
portion of Burnsville forms the western
The density of this 3rd Addition will be 2.5 units /acre, well
within the permitted 1 -3 units /acre allowed in R -1 districts. The
3rd Addition has been revised so the street to the west lines up
with Slater Court. Other than this change, the overall plan
should develop as proposed, with minor changes only.
VARIANCES: All lots exceed the 12,000 S.F. requirement and the
50' minimum curb width. Due to the following—setback variances,
not all lots will meet the 85' width at the setback lines.
However, the site is heavily wooded and the variances are necessary
to retain hardwood trees and remain consistent with previously
approved setbacks along Slater Rd.

GRADING /DRAINAGE: Nearly all drainage runoff generated from
this development is being directed to a ponding area along
the westerly boundary of this plot which will eventually drain
into the Black Dog Watershed District. The balance of the drainage
runoff will drain towards Slaters Road. Staff will require
that this plat be reviewed by the Black Dog Watershed District,
prior to final plat approval. The City will require that the
necessary drainage easements be provided for the proposed ponding
area up to an elevation required to provide the necessary storm
water storage for said ponding area.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and watermain of sufficient size,
capacity and depth is available in Slaters Road to adequately
service all proposed lots.
STREETS: Slaters Road borders the east side of this proposed
plat to provide street access to this development.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: The developer shall dedicate all easements
required by Code. All other internal drainage and utility easements
shall be dedicated as required by City staff upon the review
of final detailed plans. The City will require a temporary
cul -de -sac easement be dedicated at the westerly end of east
west street. The developer shall work with the City staff and
name the streets for this plat.
ASSESSMENTS: Trunk area sanitary sewer and water have been
previously assessed on the land proposed to be developed under
this subdivision. Staff found that trunk storm sewer has not
been previously assessed. Therefore, this development will
be responsible for the trunk area storm sewer assessment at
the rate in effect at the time of final platting. Using the
1986 rate, this amounts to $10,130.00, based upon preliminary
estimated square footage of 202,600 S.F. X $0.05 $10,130.00.
The above assessment can be paid at the time of final platting
or spread over 15 years at the assessment rate determined by
the latest bond sale.
All other costs resulting from the installation of internal
public streets and utilities for this development will be the
sole responsibility of this development.
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.

JULY 29, 1986
JULY 18, 1986
PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPTS.
APPLICATION: An application has been submitted, requesting
a preliminary plat consisting of 4 single family lots on two
acres, south of Cliff Road and just west of the Ridgecliffe
First Addition. If the preliminary plat is approved with conditions
acceptable to both the applicant and the City, a rezoning to
R -1 will be necessary prior to the final plat submission. The
Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this parcel as R -1 (single
family)
ZONING /SITE PLAN: A similar 2 acre parcel containing one home
is to the west. The Ridgecliffe 1st Addition (R -1) borders to
the south and east. Cliff Road forms the northern property
line. Currently, the existing single family home is serviced
from a driveway connecting to Cliff Road. The applicant is
requesting a temporary driveway connection from Nokia Way to
the east to service these lots (or just one S.F. lot to the
south). Code requires public street access at the time of platting
This will eventually eliminate any additional single family
driveways onto Cliff Road.
Lots 1 and 2 of block 1 will both contain 18,560 S.F., with
the existing home on lot 2. All building setbacks exceed Code
requirements. Lots 1 and 2 of block 2 each contain 13,780 S.F. Lot
1, block 1 has 85' frontage on Cliff Road but only 77' on the
proposed road extension right -of -way. This is necessary in
order to keep straight property lines and for setback conformance
for the existing home.
COMMENTS: The applicant does not want the- Nokia Road extension
at this time. A temporary driveway connection to a single home
site on the southern 1/2 of the site would be the alternative
to the 4 lot /public street proposal. The site is heavily wooded
and the retaining wall at the temporary end of Nokia Way will
need to be removed for either alternative.

SPECIAL NOTE
The staff has reviewed this proposed development with the
applicant several times informing him of City standards and
requirements for development, i.e. sewer, water and paved
streets, which the applicant does not intend to provide. When
the Ridgecliffe Addition was developed, the overall Master
Development Plan provided for the continuation of Nokia Way from
its present dead -end condition just east of this development to
the existing stub near Lenore Lane, as shown on the attached
overall site plan. Any proposed development providing anything
less than the standard street and utility continuation through
the applicant's proposed plat should not be approved due to
hardships and expenses that will be incurred to the then existing
future property owners, thereby possibly eliminating the
opportunity for this future road connection which is essential to
proper traffic circulation and the elimination of the existing
excessively long dead -end cul -de -sac of Nokia Way. However, if
staff's recommendation for denial is not concurred with, the
following items of concern and conditions should be given serious
consideration.
GRADING /DRAINAGE: The existing and proposed future drainage from
this development will be directed to the existing low drainage
basin west of this development. A storm sewer outlet should be
provided from this wetland to provide future storm water
elevation control.
The public right -of -way for Nokia Way should be graded to its
proposed future cross section for standard width street
construction, boulevards and minimum 3:1 side slopes. If this
development wishes to preserve existing vegetation, it should be
required to construct the required retaining walls along the
right -of -way line.
STREETS: As discussed previously, Nokia Way has always been
intended to continue westerly for its ultimate connection with
the existing stub near Lenore Lane. The existing driveway access
from Cliff Road should be eliminated and reconstructed providing
access from Nokia Way.
UTILITIES: Similar to the extension of the street, the existing
water main at the west end of Nokia is intended to be looped
through this subdivision to the existing stub near Lenore Lane.
This will provide adequate pressure and supply to service these
four newly created lots.
Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, depth and capacity is
available from the Ridgecliffe Addition at the west end of Nokia
via a westerly extension through this proposed subdivision. All
utilities should be planned to extend to the west line of this
proposed development for future extension to service the adjacent
properties.
EASEMENTS /RIGHTS -OF -WAY: Sufficient right -of -way should be
dedicated for Cliff Road to incorporate the existing bituminous
walkway along the south side of Cliff Road. A 60' standard
right -of -way shall be dedicated for the extension of Nokia Way
APC JULY 29, 1986
MARSTAD ADDITION

through this development. Temporary construction /slope easements
shall be acquired from the adjacent properties within the
Ridgecliffe Addition if construction cannot be contained within
existing public right -of -way. Additional utility easements
shall be acquired as necessary to provide for the storm sewer
outlet for the drainage basin to the west.
ASSESSMENTS: Trunk area sanitary sewer and water have been
previously assessed under Project 234. Trunk area storm sewer
assessment shall be required with the development of this
subdivision at the rates in effect at the time of final plat
approval. In addition, all costs associated with the
construction and extension of streets and utilities necessary to
service this subdivision shall be the sole responsibility of this
development. The estimated assessment obligation for trunk area
storm sewer is defined as follows:
Trunk Area Storm Sewer
64,600 s.f. $0.05 /s.f. $3,230
PERMITS /PLAN APPROVAL: Detailed plans and specifications for the
extension of any public street or utility shall be reviewed and
approved by staff prior to final plat approval. The required
permits from the MPCA, MWCC and Dept of Health for the extension
of sanitary sewer and water main shall be obtained prior to
releasing the plat for recording.
Representatives of the Engineering Division will be available to
discuss the needs for this development to conform to City
standards and this development's lack of conformance to the long
range planning for development of these remaining unplatted
parcels.

REZONING /PRELIMINARY PLAT (WILDERNESS PONDS)
JOHN KAROS
SW 1/4 OF SECTION 27
A (AGRICULTURAL)
JULY 29, 1986
JULY 18, 1986
PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPTS.
APPLICATIONS: Two separate applications have been submitted
requesting a rezoning from A (agricultural) •to R -1 (single family)
and a preliminary plat consisting of 41 lots on 20.7 acres south
of Wilderness Run Road in Section 27.
ZONING AND LAND USE: The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates
this site as R -1 (single family). The 41 lots give the project
an overall density of 1.98 units/acre. The average lot size
is approximately 19,000 S.F. and the minimum is 12,000 S.F.
Two existing homes will have no building setback problems.
Variances to allow street frontage of 15 feet for lots 5 and
6 of block 2 will be necessary. Code requires a 50' minimum
at the curb line. Due to the large City ponding area, this
is the only way the area can be developed. The lots will contain
90,300 S.F. and 29,000 S.F. respectively. All other lots meet
the 85' width required at the setback line.
This plat is surrounded by single family developments on the
north, east and west. Ches Mar 3rd and 4th Additions (R -3)
are to the south. Ches Mar Drive will be extended to the north
and connect with Wilderness Curve. This connection will form
the only north /south through street in the area and will allow
residents the option of going to Wilderness Run Road or Cliff
Road. The Wilderness Curve cul -de -sac will bend to the east
and will be longer than the 500' maximum length permitted by
Code. However, this 800' road will service only 23 home
COMMENTS: The site has scattered hardwood especially
on the hillside falling to the City pond. Front yard variances
of 10' (to 20') may be desired for lots on the Wilderness Curve
cul -de -sac due to the severe drop to the pond.

GRADING /DRAINAGE: Staff has reviewed the preliminary grading
plans submitted by this applicant: However staff does have a few
recommendations which the applicant should incorporate into his
final grading plan.
Staff recommends that the applicant provide overland emergency
drainage ways at the 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.
The city will require that final contours be placed at 2'
intervals on the plans along with the proposed erosion control.
These items will be reviewed upon receiving updated plans. Also
indicate proposed ponding easements on the grading plan.
This proposed development lies within two different drainage
districts, as indicated on Figure No. 1. Currently pond L.P. 55
is experiencing high water problems because it has no positive
gravity outlet. The city has authorized a storm sewer project to
resolve this problem under city project No. 448. But this
project cannot proceed until this developer establishes final lot
lines for the placement of said storm sewer.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth
is immediately available to serve this development. Internal
extensions of the sanitary sewer lateral system will adequately
service all proposed lots.
Watermain of sufficient size and capacity is located in Ches Mar
Drive and Wilderness Run Drive. This development will provide a
looped system between the Ches Mar 3rd and Wilderness Run 3rd
Additions.
STREETS /CIRCULATION: Due to the existing boundaries; 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') for Wilderness Curve, which is proposed to be
approximately 900 long. Staff strongly recommends that this
proposed development provide for a through traffic pattern as
indicated on this proposed.plat, between Ches Mar Third Addition
and the Wilderness Run 3rd Addition plats. Staff feels that with
the curved nature of this street and the 90 degree connection at
the intersection of Wilderness Curve and Ches Mar Drive will
minimize the use of this street as a through street, except for
local homeowners. However, it will provide for better service
for fire and emergency vehicles in the area. Fire and emergency
vehicles would have to travel approximately 1 1/2 miles further
to service this area without said through street. Staff
recommends that a 20' portion of Wilderness Run Curve be vacated
at the southeast corner of Wilderness Drive and Wilderness Run
Curve. This is excess right -of -way that the City will not need.

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.
Wilderness Curve right -of -way is proposed to be 50' in width
which does not meet the standard street width requirements of
60'. Staff can support the 50' right -of -way as proposed because
of the severe topography on both sides of the said Wilderness
Curve. 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 trunk area water have
been previously assessed. Trunk area storm sewer is proposed to
be assessed under project 448. The final assessment amount will
be determined based upon final plat area calculations and ponding
credits.
1. A variance shall be granted for the length of cul -de -sac
street construction for Wilderness Curve.
2. All grading, street and utility construction shall be in
conformance with current City engineering design standards.
3. All drainage, utility and ponding easements shall be
dedicated with the final plat of sufficient size to
accomodate all public utilities and ponding areas.
4. This development shall assume all costs associated with the
installation of streets and utilities to service this
subdivision.
5. Park dedication fees be resolved prior to final plat.
6. All standard plat conditions shall be adhered to.
7. The excessportion of Wilderness Curve at the southeast
quadrant of Wilderness Curve and Wilderness Run Drive shall
be vacated in conjunction with final plat approval.
This development shall dedicate 60' right -of -ways for public
streets, except for Wilderness Curve, east of Ches Mar
Drive.

LOCATION: LOTS 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 BLACKHAWK ACRES
SE 1/4 SEC 17)
EXISTING ZONING: R -3
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 29, 1986
DATE OF REPORT: JULY 21, 1986
REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING
APPLICATION: An application has been submitted requesting a
preliminary plat for 32 town house units on 6 acres on Lots 7 -12,
Blackhawk Acres Addition in Section 17. The site is zoned R -3 and
the Comprehensive Guide Plan also designates this parcel R -3.
ZONING LAND USE: The Townview 1st Addition town homes are to
the east and south of this site. Single family homes in Blackhawk
Acres are to the east and an R -4 district is to the north. The 32
units give the project an overall density of 5.3 units /acre. Code
allows 6 -12 units /acre in R -3 districts. All proposed buildings
and parking areas meet City setback requirements.
The William Brothers Pipeline easement crosses the site in a SW to
NE manner. No building is proposed in this area but grading has
been indicated and permission will be required to do so. City
approval of grading and retaining wall construction in a sanitary
sewer easement will also be necessary.
SITE PLANNING /LANDSCAPING: This project will be built in two
phases. Phase One will consist of 16 units (3 clusters) east of
Robin Ln. and will be serviced by three separate entry drives.
Entry drives in Phase Two match these and the circulation should
work nicely. All units will have Robin Ln. addresses.
All units have two bedrooms, optional fireplaces and laundry
facilities and double car garages. Two additional parking spaces
will be designated in front of the garages for guest parking. No
other parking is provided. The exterior will have gabled roofs
with horizontal lap siding and a brick base detail. Since this
project will have an association, all trash will be picked up once
a week and until that day must be kept in the individual's garage.
A landscape architect has been retained for this project and has
expressed a desire to save as many trees as the grading permits.
Special care will be needed for two large oaks on the north and
south sides of Building Unit 3 in the 1st phase. Fencing at
the drip line of these trees should be noted on the grading plan.
An additional detailed planting plan consistent with City standards
will be required prior to final plat submission. This plan must
be on a grading plan to ensure proper landscaping on 2:1, 3:1
slopes and the retaining wall areas.
BLACKHAWK ACRES 2ND ADD
PAGE 2
GRADING /DRAINAGE: The grading plan the developer sumbitted is
feasible and in accordance with City standards, with the exception
of the grading on the south end of the development. Staff
recommends the developer extend the retaining walls westerly until
he can achieve a 3:1 slope. An alternative to this, although not as
desirable, would be for the developer to provide a low maintenance
ground cover in the areas that have greater than 3:1 slopes. In no
case shall the slopes be greater than 2:1. According to Soils
Conservation Service estimates of the type of soil located in this
area, the soil does have a moderate tolerance to erosion. However,
due to the steep slopes, staff recommends that the developer restore
all disturbed areas as quickly as possible to control erosion. In
addition, the developer will be responsible for maintaining the
proper erosion control measures and removing whatever sediment does
erode onto Robin Lane.
Because Robin Lane is located within the bottom of the deep ravine
which is characteristic of this site, the drainage both north and
south of Robin Lane is generally towards Robin Lane. The surface
drainage is collected by storm sewer and deposited into Pond AP -27.
Pond AP -27 is located just northwest of this development. Figure 1
illustrates the relationship with Pond AP -27 to this development and
major drainage district. Pond AP -27 does have a positive gravity
outlet all the way to the Minnesota River Valley. As a result, this
development will not require the City to modify or extend any trunk
storm sewer.
The proposed grading does show some encroachment onto the Northern
Natural Gas line easement. Staff recommends requiring the developer
to obtain a permit from Northern Natural Gas Company to encroach
upon their easement with their grading.
UTILITIES: Utilities of sufficient size, depth and capacity exist
within Robin Lane to service this proposed development. In
addition, with Robin Lane upgrading, the City extended sewer and
water services both east and west along Robin Lane.
Staff recommends revising the developer's utility plan to include
adding three hydrant leads and two hydrants. The distance from the
existing hydrant east of Robin Lane to the northwest corner of Lot
1, Block 2, is approximately 250'. To provide better fire
protection, staff recommends removing this hydrant and constructing
a 6" hydrant lead to just south of the south entrance way to Block
3. Staff also recommends extending a 6" hydrant lead north from
where the existing hydrant is to the east'corner of the "T"
intersection of the north driveway to Block 3 with the driveway to
Block 2. Also, staff recommends adding a hydrant and 6" hydrant
lead just north of the driveway to Block 4. The water services to
Blocks 2, 3 and 4 can be taken from the newly constructed hydrant
leads.
The proposed sanitary sewer services will require cleanouts spaced
no further than 100' apart and at the end of each service line.
STREETS /CIRCULATION: Robin Lane is an existing City street built to
its ultimate design section. This development proposes to connect
to Robin Lane with several private driveways. All private drives
meet City Code with respect to maintaining 10% or less grade.
BLACKHAWK ACRES 2ND ADD
PAGE 3
Staff would recommend that the developer maintain a maximum 4% grade
for one car length (20') to provide for a relatively flat landing
area for the traffic to wait until they can gain access onto Robin
Lane. It appears the developer can accomplish this at all the
driveways except for the driveway for Lot 6. In order to maintain a
4% grade or less to Robin Lane from Lot 6, the developer will have
to construct his driveway so that it lines up across the common
driveway to Block 2 and 3. This will require permission from
Northern Natural Gas Company. The building of the driveway over
this easement should not cause any excessive fills or grading that
would cause a problem for Northern Natural Gas Company.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: This developer shall dedicate s 60' right
of -way for Robin Lane on the final plat. Right -of -way presently
exists by way of easement dedicated to the City by the previous
owner. This development shall dedicate a 20' utility easement over
the hydrant leads. This development shall also be responsible for
dedicating the additional standard drainage and utility easements
that the Code requires.
PERMITS: The only permit this development will be required to
obtain is permission from Northern Natural Gas to encroach on their
pipeline easement.
ASSESSMENTS: All trunk area assessments have been levied over Lots
7 12 of the Blackhawk Acres Addition.
BLACKHAWK ACRES 2nd ADD

CONDITIONS:
This development shall obtain a permit from Northern Natural Gas
Company to encroach within their easement for both grading and
a permanent driveway prior to final plat approval for that
particular phase.
This development shall construct the appropriate hydrant leads
as referenced within the engineering report.
3. The private driveway shall have a maximum 4% grade for 20' from
the curb line of Robin Lane with the remainder of the driveway
grade not to exceed 10
This development shall dedicate a full 60' right -of -way for
Robin Lane that is not previously dedicated under the Blackhawk

APPLICANT: H Z PARTNERS
LOCATION: SW SECTION 23
EXISTING ZONING: R -4 WITHIN THE LEXINGTON SOUTH PD
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 29, 1986
DATE OF REPORT: JULY 22, 1986
REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING
APPLICATION: An application has been submitted requesting a
preliminary plat consisting of 168 apartments on 16.3 acres in
the Lexington South PD. The site, Lot 1, Block 1 and Outlot
A in the first addition is located along Lexington Av on the
east side just north of Co. Rd. 30.
ZONING LAND USE: This site is surrounded by other land uses
all within the Lexington South PD. An R -2 density for 40 acres
is to the north, the Northview ,Athletic Fields are to the NE,
Northview Elementary to the east'and a designated Episcopal Church
site to the south. Across Lexington Av is a Covenant Church
site, a City water reservoir and 3.5 acres of uncommitted land.
The portion of the site where most building occurs is on a plateau
high above the surrounding area. The land falls rapidly to a
City ponding area near the NE part of the site and that hillside
is heavily wooded.
The 168 units give the project an overall density of 10.30 units
/acre, well within the 12 units allowed in R -4 districts.
An exhibit from the Lexington South PD file shows this area having
5 20 unit buildings. The proposed project has detached garages.
Similar apartment projects in Eagan include: Cinnamon Ridge,
Ballantree and Rahn Villa.
All building and parking setbacks meet City Code except apartment
building #7 on the NW portion of the site. The front setback
along Lexington Av must be 50' and only 40' is shown. When a
covered parking space is included with the rent, only one additional
outside space must be provided. Garages for 174 cars and 186
outside spaces have been proposed.
The overall lot coverage is well within the 20% allowed in R -4
districts but it appears greater in the apartment area due to
the detached garages and unbuildable hillside. The project is
proposed in 2 phases. The first phase consisting of 96 units
is'4 buildings and 5 additional garage buildings on the southern
portion of the site. Phase 2 Outlot. A) will contain 72 units
in 3 separate buildings and have 4 20 car garage buildings.
APC JULY 29, 1986
LEXINGTON HILLS FIRST ADD
PAGE 2
COMMENTS: These two story 23' tall wood frame buildings will
contain 108 one bedroom (624 S.F.) units and 60 (936 S.F.) units.
The colors of the roofs and the proposed vinyl siding have not
been determined. Amenities include optional fireplaces, balconies
and a tot lot. The proposed garages have double doors each serving
two individual apartment units. In areas between the garages
where 35' is shown, there should not be parking in front of the
doors. Trash should be kept in the garages until the day of
pickup or specific enclosure locations should be noted and suitably
screened from public areas.
LANDSCAPING: A preliminary landscape plan has been submitted
and works well conceptually. However, the detailed plan submitted
prior to the final plat submission will need to address the size,
spacing and berming more closely. The evergreens are shown at
a 25' spacing where the detailed plan will need to show them
at a 12 15' maximum spacing. A mixture of overstory, understory,
coniferous plant material along with shrub masses will be used
to buffer the buildings /garages along Lexington Av.
GRADING /DRAINAGE: The existing topography on this site consists
of a relatively level plateau paralleling Lexington Avenue and
then dropping very rapidly to a low depression located near the
northeast corner of this site. The slopes from the plateau to
the low basin are around 30 Therefore, this developer proposes
on only grading the plateau area and leaving the side slopes and
drainage basin in its natural state.
Grading proposed by this development is feasible. However, the
grades northeasterly of the four garage units located in Phase I
are 2.5:1. A 3:1 slope is necessary to provide proper
maintenance. Therefore, staff recommends either increasing the
slopes to 3:1 or the developer will have to install low
maintenance ground cover.
Because of the erosion of this soil, the developer will have to
pay special attention to maintaining the erosion fence and
restoring disturbed areas on this site as quickly as possible.
The developer will be responsible for removing any sediment that
erodes from this site and ends up into the low area.
The proposed grading of this site does not altar any of the
existing drainage patterns. These drainage patterns are in a
northerly direction with most of the drainage over this site
going to the low area referred to as Pond JP -29 on the City's
Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. Figure 1 illustrates the
relationship with this pond, its major drainage district and this
proposed development. From this you can see that Pond JP -29 does
not have a positive gravity outlet, yet it collects storm water.
from Lexington Avenue and adjacent developments and will also
collect additional runoff from this site when it is developed.
Therefore, staff recommends that as a condition of this
development, the Council authorize the project to provide a storm
sewer outlet from Pond JP -29 to McCarthy Lake (Pond JP -9).
APC JULY 29, 1986
LEXINGTON HILLS FIRST ADD
PAGE 3
UTILITIES: Water main of sufficient size, capacity and depth
exists west of Lexington Avenue. An 8" lateral was installed
across Lexington Avenue prior to the upgrading of Lexington
Avenue. However, this 8" stub is connected to the high pressure
side of the Lexington Avenue booster station and cannot be looped
back to the 20" trunk water main north of the booster station
without the installation of a pressure reducing station.
However, this looping is not necessary and the 8" deadend water
lateral will be able to supply the flows that this development
would require.
Sanitary sewer is in place at the intersection of Lexington
Avenue and Diffley Road. This sewer is of sufficient depth for
the City to extend to the north to pick up this proposed
development. Because this sanitary sewer line affects more than
just this proposed development, the developer is requesting the
City install this line and have it assessed to benefitting
properties. Because of this, staff recommends that the final
plat approval for this development not be granted until the
Council authorizes the project for the installation of sanitary
sewer to this development.
The developer is proposing to install the internal utilities
privately. These utilities shall meet all City standards for
design and installation.
STREETS /CIRCULATION: Lexington Avenue is the only public street
providing access to this development. Lexington Avenue is under
the jurisdiction of the Dakota County Highway Department and is
built to its ultimate design cross section adjacent to this
property. The combination of grades on this northerly end and
County road access separation requirements dictate that only one
access into this site is practical.
Because only one access to this site off of Lexington Avenue is
practical, the developer proposes on oversizing his entrance road
to 32' in width. However, staff recommends against having any
garage taking direct access from this major entrance road. The
remaining internal private drives meet= City Code.
Staff sees one potential problem regarding parking. Because the
garage stalls do not equal the number of units per apartment
building, some tenants may have to walk as much as 250' to their
garage. Staff feels that this is very unlikely to happen and
that the tenant will park in the parking lot in front of the
apartment building. This could cause some congestion since
basically only one outside parking stall is provided with each
unit.
This development should be responsible for the 8' trailway along
Lexington Avenue. This trailway is a requirement because of City
standards relating to minor arterial streets having trailways
adjacent to them.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: This development shall dedicate on the
final plat a 50' half right -of -way for Lexington Avenue.

This development will be responsible for any easements required
over the property to the south of it for the construction of the
sanitary sewer necessary to serve this site. Also, this
development shall be responsible for dedicating a ponding
easement for Pond JP -29 to encompass its high water elevation.
Finally, any public utilities not located within public right -of-
way will require a minimum 20' easement dedicated over them.
PERMITS: This development will be responsible for obtaining the
following permits.
1. MPCA sanitary sewer extension permit.
2. MWCC sanitary sewer estension permit.
3. Department of Health water main extension permit.

ASSESSMENTS: In reviewing our assessment records, this parcel,
017 -54, has been assessed for all trunk area related assessments.
CONDITIONS:
1. The maximum grade of slopes over this site shall be 3:1, but
2:1 slopes will be permitted with the establishment of low
maintenance ground cover.
2. The Council must authorize the storm sewer outlet from JP -29
to Pond JP -9 and also the sanitary sewer extension along
Lexington Avenue prior to final plat approval.
3. There shall be no access from garage stalls onto the

JULY 29, 1986
JULY 18, 1986
REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING
APPLICATION: An application has been submitted by Fred B. Wilson
of 3595 Blackhawk Rd. requesting a Preliminary Plat consisting
of four lots on 4.6 acres. This site has frontage on the south
side of Blackhawk Rd. across from Blue Cross Blue Shield and
the new park facility.
the existing home and there will
2, 3, and 4 will measure .79 acre,
frontage on Blackhawk Rd. of 75',
No variances of the R -1 zoning
Previously, a Waiver of Plat was approved on this site creating
two parcels. This Preliminary Plat, consisting of four single
family lots, will be subject to a cash Parks Dedication Fee.
GRADING /DRAINAGE: The existing drainage pattern of this proposed
four -lot subdivision is to the south and west. There is no major
grading proposed other than that required to construct individual
houses on the three newly created lots. All surface drainage for
the newly created lots can easily conform to the existing
drainage patterns. With no major grading anticipated or required
with this development, no erosion control measures are necessary.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, depth and capacity
is available adjacent to the southeast corner of proposed lot 4..
This development proposes to install a sanitary lateral along the
rear lot lines with individual sewer services provided for each
lot.
Water main of sufficient size and capacity is provided along
Blackhawk Road through the existing 12" trunk water main.
Individual water services will be provided to each of the 3 newly
created lots from this trunk water main.
APC JULY 29, 1986
WILSON ADDITION
PAGE 2
STREETS: Access to this proposed development will be obtained
from Blackhawk Road, which is presently improved to a 24' wade
bituminous surfaced road with gravel shoulders. Blackhawk Road
will be upgraded sometime in the future to the City standard 44'
collector status with concrete curb and gutter and a trailway.
This upgrading is not necessary as a result of this proposed
four -lot subdivision.
However, due to the existing elevations, curvature of the road
and present /future traffic volumes, there is limited visibility
creating safety concerns for individual driveway access onto
Blackhawk Road. Therefore, each newly created lot shall be
required to construct its driveway with a turnaround to eliminate
the need for backing out onto Blackhawk Road.
ASSESSMENTS: As a result of the approval of Waiver of Plat #17-
W-11-9-85 (Fred B. Wilson) in November of 1985, this subdivision
has paid its assessment obligations for trunk area water, lateral
benefit from trunk water main along Blackhawk Road and the future
obligations for the upgrading of Blackhawk Road for all four lots
of this proposed subdivision. Trunk area storm and sanitary
sewer assessments have been previously assessed for this entire
subdivision.
However, at the time of the Waiver of Plat, sanitary sewer
service was not required. Consequently, a detailed analysis as
to its availability was not performed. With this proposed
subdivision connecting to the existing sanitary sewer located in
the southeast corner of lot 4, this development will be
responsible for its lateral benefit derived for the existing
sanitary sewer crossing lot 4. This obligation is identified as
follows:
Lateral Benefit From Sanitary Sewer
117.66 ft. $14.35/f.f. $1,688.42
This obligation will be required as a condition of final plat
approval and can be assigned to lot 4 or spread equally over all
4 lots at the developer's option.
PERMITS PLAN APPROVAL: Permits will have to be obtained from
the City of Eagan for construction within the Blackhawk Road
right -of -way required by the installation of the individual water
services. Permits will have to also be obtained from the MPCA
and MWCC for the proposed sanitary sewer lateral extension along
the south line of this subdivision. Detailed plans and
specifications prepared by a registered engineer shall be
submitted for review and approval by staff prior to final plat
approval.
APC JULY 29, 1986
WILSON ADDITION
PAGE 3
EASEMENTS /RIGHTS -OF -WAY: A 40' half right -of -way shall be
dedicated for Blackhawk Road. In addition, sufficient easements
shall be dedicated along the south line of this proposed plat for
the installation of the sanitary sewer line. If detailed
construction plans indicate the need for permanent or temporary
construction easements from the adjacent property to the south,
it shall be this development's responsibility to acquire all
permanent and temporary utility easements prior to final plat
approval.
CONDITIONS:
1. A 40' half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Blackhawk
Road.
2. Individual driveway turnarounds shall be constructed for each
of the three newly created lots.
3. This development shall assume its additional assessment
obligations for benefit received from the existing sanitary
sewer.
4. All required permits from regulatory agencies shall be
acquired prior to release of final plat for recording.
5. All required permanent and temporary construction easements
for the sanitary sewer shall be dedicated on the plat or
acquired by deed conveyance prior to final plat approval.
6. This development shall be responsible for complying with all
applicable standard engineering conditions.
7. All other applicable ordinances shall be adhered to.
8. This plat shall be subject to a cash parks dedication fee.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT (TOWN CENTRE 70, 5TH ADDITION)
APPLICANT: FEDERAL LAND CO. /TACO BELL
LOCATION: OUTLOT A OF TOWN CENTRE 70, 4TH ADDITION
EXISTING ZONING: CSC, COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 29, 1986
DATE OF REPORT: JULY 21, 1986
REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING
APPLICATION: An application has been submitted, requesting
a preliminary plat for a Taco Bell restaurant. This drive thru
restaurant will be located on the western part of Outlot A,
Town Centre 70, 3rd Addition. This new lot will contain approxi-
mately .6 acres and the remaining area will now become Outlot
A, Town Centre 70, 5th Addition.
SITE PLAN: The new lot will contain 29,330 S.F. and Outlot
A will contain 28,950 S.F. This Outlot will become another
fast food facility very similar in size to this Taco Bell.
The terms of the sign P.D. for Town Centre 70 will allow 25'
maximum height pylon signs on both sites in predetermined locations.
TACO BELL FACILITY: This 60 seat restaurant will contain approxi-
mately 2,240 S.F. and provide parking for 26 cars. City Code
will require 20, 10' stalls. Staff is recommending the removal
of the single stall in the northern most portion of the site
to provide additional green area on this small site. The trash en-
closure was originally here but was moved close to the building
to be consistent with other buildings in the development. The
parking setback is 18' on the northern property line and should
be 20' to meet Code and be the same as the other restaurant
facilities. All other setbacks meet Code requirements.
A single 30' access will serve this facility. The drive thru
facility, providing stacking for 6 cars comfortably, will also
have a one way by -pass lane. All signage must be a minimum
of 10' within the property line and under 7' except for the
25' pylon sign. The pylon sign will contain 97 S.F. and be
subject to the $2.50 /S.F. one time sign fee.
LANDSCAPING: A detailed landscape plan will be required prior
to the final plat submission. This plan should have plant material
compatible with that in the other restaurants and the Rainbow
Foods across the street. Berming will be required on the Town
Centre Drive side and the plan should be submitted on a grading
plan or spot grades should be noted to indicate 2' 3' berm
height.
APC JULY 29, 1986
TOWN CENTRE 70 FIFTH ADD
PAGE 2
GRADING /DRAINAGE: The preliminary grading plan the developer
submitted is feasible. It proposes to create this site so
that drainage is from north to south, thereby staying away from
drainage into MnDOT right -of -way. The internal drainage will be
handled with lateral storm sewer constructed within the parking
lot and tying into the City's existing storm sewer line located
within Town Centre Drive.
Because the downstream storm sewer is in place, this development
will not require any modifications or extensions to the City's
trunk system.
UTILITIES: Utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist
within Town Centre Drive. Project 429 provided for sewer and
water service to this proposed development.
STREETS /CIRCULATION: Town Centre Drive will provide public
access to this proposed development. Town Centre Drive is a City
collector street built to it's ultimate design cross section.
Because of the limited width of this parcel, the singular access
this developer proposes is the only feasible way to access this
development. Staff recommends modifying the proposed access
slightly to improve traffic flow into this development. Staff
recommends deleting the southerly most parking stall to extend
the throat length to maintain a minimum of a 40' length. Also,
staff recommends increasing the entrance radii to 20' instead of
the 15' as shown.
Finally, staff recommends increasing the sidewalk width adjacent
the parking stalls north of the building to 7'. This will allow
a net width of 5' when taking into account the 2' overhang for
the vehicles.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: Town Centre 70 1st Addition dedicated
all necessary right -of -way for this proposed development.
This development will be responsible for dedicating a 15'
easement adjacent to Town Centre Drive for sidewalk, snow
storage, utility, and drainage purposes. This development shall
also be responsible for dedicating the standard easements the
City Code requires.
PERMITS: This development should not require any outside agency
permits. The possible exception could be a permit from MnDOT
should the grading or the site encroach upon MnDOT right -of -way.
ASSESSMENTS: A check of the City's assessment records indicate
that all trunk area related assessments are levied or pending.

CONDITIONS:
1) All standard plat conditions shall be adhered to.

3) The single parking stall on the north shall be removed.
4) The 18' parking setback on the north shall be expanded to
20'.
5) A landscape plan complete with berming and suitably noted
shall be submitted prior to final plat submission. A financial
guarantee shall be submitted and not released until one

REPORTED BY PLANNING 81'ENGINEERING..DEPARTMENTS
IT-- has been submitted requesting a
preliminary plat on Lbt 1 V Block 1, Town Centre 70 Sixth
Addition. This plat is a part of Outlot C of Town Centre 70
First Addition. Lot 1, 3.63 acres, will contain a "car care"
facility consisting of 3 separate buildings and the .97 acre
Lot 2 is a proposed sit down restaurant facility.
SITE PLAN: Lot ,1 will contain a typical strip center building
containing 23,1opt S.F., Seven auto related services have been
proposed: auto parts, -.:a muffler Shop, a transmission shop, import
..specialist, glass -shop auto reconditioning and ,a tire store.
-A1 of the 'service/repair shops will use the drive-thru building,
'design. At this time, the building circulation does not have'
any 4in/out ;designation. The building itself will be made of
brick with a metal roof detail and gabled. entries. All sides,
including the metal work, will be treated the same. The building
and parking "areas meet all City setback requirements.
East of the retail area is a 880 S.F. gas station with convenience
foods and an attached 544 S.F. car wash. The car wash should
have drying capabilities to eliminate excess water/ice in the
multi-use parking area. Benshoof Associates has recommended
a change to the southern entry from Town Centre Dr. It will
close off the .gas pump area and create a more controlled entry/exit
4 7 -T 1 or that portion of the site. The lube/oil facility, south of
the,vas-station,. will be 2;024 S.F. and have a designated drive
circulation pattern.
Stacking for 3 cars has been provided.
Code does not permit outside storage in CSC districts, therefore,
all auto parts accessories must be unloaded directly into the
building. Two 10' x 10' concrete block trash enclosures located
on the parking lot perimeter have been .noted. Staff previously
recommended that all trash areas be brought up next to the building
and have a single scheduled pickup. The submitted plan shows
the 'trash enclosed in the restaurant on Lot 2..
Parking for 178 cars has been provided for the 3 use areas and
185 would be required based on a retail use only in the strip
center. Since most of that building iS service oriented,:!there::7,?
should be ample parking. The area west of the strip center should
be designated for employee parking and as an area for vehicles

MEMO TO: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
FROM: THOMAS A COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: JULY 22, 1986
SUBJECT: BRIAR HILL ADDITIONS TRAILWAY CONTINUITY
As a condition of the development of the Briar Hill 1st through
4th Additions, the developer was required to prepare an internal
trailway circulation plan and construct the trailway in
accordance with the various phases. The developer, Tollefson
Builders, Inc., has been unable to complete. the trailway system
in accordance with the originally submitted plan due to inability
to acquire the necessary easements. Attached to this memo is a
letter from Mr. Tollefson requesting City considereration of
deleting this completion requirement of the remaining trailway
system. Also attached to this memo is a layout of the Briar Hill
Additions showing the location of the original trailway
alignment, the existing construction and the remaining
incompleted segments.
Since this trailway installation was a requirement of the Park
Commission's review of the Briar Hill preliminary plat, the
requirement for its completion should be reviewed by the Park
Commission with a recommendation to be brought to the City
Council. Please let me know if you feel notification of the
affected property owners would be appropriate for providing input
for the Park Commission's consideration when they review this
matter. I will be happy to send out notices informing them of
scheduled review and /or action.

Re: Briarhill 4th Addition Trail Easements
Dear Mr. Hedges,
As you know, there were incorrect legal descriptions for the trailway
easements in Briarhill 4th Addition. Bill Dolan, our engineer, has prepared
new legals and Paul Hauge has drafted the new trail easements to be signed
by the Briarhill homeowners involved. There are a total of 6 individual
easements 2 easements for 1 trailway which the homeowners have signed,
returned and are enclosed for recording. The other trailway which requires
4 signatures has become a problem; 1 of 4 homeowners has signed the easement
and the remaining 3 refuse to sign, reason being, the homeowners are concerned
with the safety hazard of having a trailway run through their driveway. We
recommend that the one trailway be sufficient for Briarhill 4th Addition, thereby
we request to eliminate the second trailway. Also, of the 148 units in Briarhill,
approximately only 10% of the homeowners have children which would utilize
the trailway. If this action requires council approval, please place us on the
agenda and advise us in writing if attendance is necessary.
Thank —you for your help in this matter.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JULY 28, 1996
RE: USER FEES TRAPP FARM PARK PAVILLION, AND OTHER SHELTER
FACILITIES
BACKGROUND
In anticipation that the Trapp Farm Park picnic pavillion and park shelter
buildings will be operational in 1987, Staff is seeking a recommendation and
concurrence on fees that should be charged for reserving these and other
future park shelter facilities. This, of course, assumes that the Commission
is agreeable that a fee is to be charged.
OTHER PARK USER FEES
At present, the Department charges for the use of Rahn Park shelter building,
and the rental fee is $75.00 for the entire day. The community room at the
Fire Administration building is .$50.00 for profit, commercial, or other non
community use: $15.00 for community organizations, and "no charge" for youth
and other non profit public service groups.
A brief review of other community policies regarding facility reservations
reveal a wide range of philosophies, and rental charges. For example:
Burnsville has set a fee schedule based on the number of people, length of
time period, and components used at each particular facility, as well as a
differential rate between residents /non- residents. Burnsville charges $15.00
for reservation of a designated picnic area, which provides for 8 to 9 tables,
$25.00 for an open picnic shelter, and $40.00 for the larger pavillion type
facility. Burnsville also charges for tennis court reservations, ballfields,
soccer fields, etc., as part of their reservation system. The City of Apple
Valley charges a flat fee of $25.00 for any of it's picnic pavillion
facilities. Enclosed structures, which are smaller, fall under a separate
policy and fee structure.
Lakeville has a unique approach, which charges by the person. Local, non-
profit, or civic groups pay only a flat administrative fee of $15.00 for the
right to make a reservation. The $1.50 per person charge comes into affect
for large groups, or non resident groups. Because Lakeville has several
large parks which can accommodate as many as 400 people, they have used this
approach of reservations to administer their parks system. A park ranger
checks on each group, which has a reserved park area and provides supervisory,
as well as some measure of crowd control. Due to a large demand for
facilities Lakeville established a minimum number of people to use the
larger facilities. Like most communities, they also have a damage deposit
associated with the use of many of it's facilities, particularly when it
reserves for large, non -local groups.
FOR DISCUSSION
Parks and Recreation Staff fully expects that after the community becomes
fully acquainted with the facilities of Trapp Farm Park, as well as future
planned shelters, the pavillion and shelters will be in heavy demand for group
reservations. Clearly, a reservation system will be necessary to administer
their usage. Staff is also of the opinion that a fee should be charged for
the privilege of making a reservation and use of the shelter.
From Staff perspective, we are of the opinion that the fee structure should be
simple, with as few complications as possible. This will be easier for the
public to understand and certainly much easier to administer. Second, the
process of the reservation system should also be simple to ensure good
communications as well as accountability for cash receipts. Finally, the
structure that is established should be representative of the services being
provided.
STAFF PROPOSAL.
Staff is proposing that Park facilities be grouped into four (4)
classifications for reservation programs. 1. Large Pavillion: The picnic
pavillion at Trapp Farm Park, 2. Enclosed shelter buildings: Trapp Farm
Park, Goat Hill, Rahn 3. Open shelters: Buildings and designated picnic
areas without rest rooms, 4. Athletic Facility shelters: Northview Rahn
Athletic facilities.
With the later group, Category #4, the park shelter building is not the main
reason for which the park is used. Rather, it is the ballfields that they
intend to use, and the shelter building is an emenity to that facility. Staff
would propose that the buildings at Northview, Goat Hill, and Rahn Park be
reserved with the athletic fields and the rate for the athletic fields be
adjusted to include these buildings and /or an additional facility charge be
made. A damage deposit would be required: $100.00. Staff is recommending
that fields be reserved for a fee of $30.00 per field /per day. Lights (if
required) $20.00 per field /per day; Building cleaning $30.00.
CATEGORY #1
For the picnic pavillion at Trapp Farm, Staff is recommending a fee of $35.00
per half day. Full day reservations would cost $50.00. Rates would remain
consistent for all user groups. A "half -day reservation" is from 10:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m., and 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Reservations, which go beyond
either of the time periods would be considered as "full- days" and charged the
full -day rate.
CATEGORY #2
Enclosed shelter buildings would be available at $30.00 minimum fee; $5.00 for
each additional hour, after the first five hours. A damage deposit of $100.00
would be required.
CATEGORY #3
Open shelters or designated picnic areas would be reservable at $15.00, and
could accommodate 18 to 25 people. The City would provide for between 6 and 8
permanent picnic tables. There would be no time use limit for the reservation
of these open shelters /picnic areas. As shelters are added to neighborhood
parks, and requests made for reservations, this fee policy would extend to
these parks also.
ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION
The whole issue of fee changes in Parks and Recreation is often a
philosophical approach, rather than one totally based on economic costs. It
is the Staff's opinion that the charges being suggested reflect a major
portion of the costs for the "extra" services, which may go beyond the normal
level of City service provided. For example, your softball team can use any
field to play a game, but if you wish to reserve Northview for a tournament
game(s); department staff will have to do extra work: in field dragging, trash
pick -up, etc. Your fee covers these additional expenses.
The Commission may wish to modify, expand, or establish a different approach
to the structuring of fee's.
A second issue is that the fee proposal is for one year. A review after the
first year's operation will give the department and Commission a better
understanding of the work and time involved in maintaining these facilities.
The Commission may wish to include this as part of any motion made in setting
fees.
The third point of discussion is in relation to the pavillion at Trapp Farm
Park. Originally, the pavillion was conceived to have "two halves" usable by
two groups at the same time; assuming that the combined total does not exceed
the planned capacity. Staff is suggesting that until some experience is
gained from the first year's use, the department issue reservations for the
entire building only, waiting until 1988 before it reserves either half.
It is understood that the facilities can be used without reservations on a
first -come, first -serve basis. Reservations simply assure you the privilege
of using the facility. (Staff is currently reviewing methods of posting or
notifying people that a facility /pavillion has been "reserved
USER PROCEDURES
Reservations would be taken up to four (4) full months in advance, but not
later than fourteen (14) days in advance of the date requested. Reservations
may be made in person, or by phone, and confirmed by fee payment. Reservation
requests would be maintained on the Logis System, which would print out a
receipt at time of payment on a "Reservation Confirmation" form. This form
would be sent by mail to the "responsible person" making the reservation. The
Confirmation Form would be accompanied by a letter with additional information
regarding rules, regulations, and other pertinent information pertaining to
the park i.e., no glass beverage containers, park hours, etc.
Staff would also post the reservation at a central location at Trapp Farm
Park, or devise some kind of posting to notify users that a particular area
has been reserved.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE
On Monday of each week, a copy of all reservations for the next fourteen (14)
day period would be printed out. This print -out would be sent to the Parks
Superintendent, Parks Foreman, Attendant, and Police Department, so that they
are aware of the group and responsible person reserving the facility. This
will assist in the coordination of maintenance and preparation of the these
facilities, and alert the attendant /police department should any problem
arise.
In Summation, the Department is recommending a reservation fee for Park
Facilities of: $35.00 /half day, $50.00 full day /picnic pavillion, $30.00
enclosed shelter buildings, $15.00 for any open shelters: Facilities
associated with any athletic field to be reservable with that particular
facility at the fee established.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION
To recommend a fee structure for reservation for park shelter buildings.
Review the reservation process, make appropriate recommendations for
inclusions, specific procedures, rules or regulations.
