Adjournment MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION EAGAN, MINNESOTA SEPTEMBER 4, 1986 A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission was called to order by Chairman Martin at 7:20 P.M. The meeting was preceded by a demonstration of Park Maintenance Equipment by the Park and Maintenance Staff. and a picnic supper at Northview Athletic Fields. Members present were Porter, Masin, Ketcham, Bertz, Martin, Thurston, Kubik, Carroll and Caponi. Commissioner Alt was on vacation. Staff present were: Parks Recreation Director, Ken Vraa; Parks Planner /Landscape Architect, Steve Sullivan; Planner, Jim Sturm; Parks Superintendent, John VonDeLinde; Recreation Supervisor; Dorothy Peterson, and Paula Sunder and Administrative Assistant, Liz Witt. Other visitors were present for specific agenda items. AGENDA Commissioner Masin moved, Kubik seconded, that the agenda be approved as presented. The motion carried. MINUTES August 7, 1986 Commissioner Carroll moved, Thurston seconded the approval of the minutes as presented. PRESENTATION SUBJECT TO APPROVAL John Rowe and Lee Welch of Dakota County Court Services were presented with a plaque of appreciation for Community Service work accomplished in Eagan Parks. Park Superintendent John VonDeLinde explained that the program started in June 16, involving youths participating in the Court Services Restitution program. Mr. VonDeLinde noted that the youths put in approximately 3000 hours. They repainted 9 hockey rinks, brushed out the high line and Blackhawk trails and planted 25 trees at Woodhaven Park. Mr. Rowe said that the youngsters were not overly enthusiastic at the beginning but felt that they had accomplished a great deal when the project was completed. They earned $7000 for debt repayment. OLD BUSINESS Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. September 4, 1986 1. Mooney Lake Patrick Eagan Park: Storm Sewer Project 473 Commissioner Capons, though ill, attended the meeting specifically to discuss this item. Therefore, it was moved up on the agenda so Commissioner Caponi could participate in the discussion and leave. Parks Recreation Director Vraa distributed a hand out prepared by Bonestroo et al, Engineering Consultants. The report outlined three additional alternatives to the original Project proposal: Alternate I: would construct a gravity storm outlet to the east within park property and Berry Ridge Road R /W. Alternate II: would construct a lift station and force main in the approximate alignment as Alternate I. Alternate III: would construct a lift station and force main within and through Chatterton Ponds to Pond JP -36. There would also be a gravity line form Pond JP -36 to Pond JP -37 and to the existing trunk storm sewer located about one- quarter mile to the east. The cost of Alternate III is almost 50% higher than I II, not including acquisition costs. Commissioner Caponi felt the report was inadequate and that more information was needed. He wanted more details and written in a form that's understandable to the lay person. He suggested the commission recommend that Council continue the item until more information is received and reviewed. He continued, indicating the Commission should consider a stream into the park, utilizing storm water. Mr. Caponi further discussed his thoughts, benefits, as well as concerns, relative to the current proposal. Chairman Martin suggested that if the Commission is interested in having a stream, perhaps there should be a pump to continually recycle water. He pointed out that storm generated water will only flow about 44 days a year, based on engineering information. This averages out to about 4.5 days a month and is it worth it in the area of the park. Commissioner Caponi responded that the water flow from streams can be regulated to flow more than those 44 days. He felt very strongly that the City should not lose the opportunity to channel storm water via an open stream which could be regulated by pumps. Commissioner Porter suggested the City opt for an above ground storm sewer line and install a pump later, as needed. 2 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. September 4, 1986 Commissioner Caponi requested that action be delayed on the project to allow the Commission more time to study and to coordinate their effort with engineering. He said he has talked with several residents who are interested in a stream. He felt there is a more creative way to handle the project which would be more aesthetically pleasing than the alternatives already suggested. Commissioner Kubik concurred and suggested that other options be explored. Commissioner Bertz said she was not in favor of a stream. She felt it could be a dangerous amenity because the swift flowing water could attract small children. She wondered why the commission was discussing this issue at this point in time. She didn't recall that an open stream has been part of the park systems study or a part of any park plan. Chairman Martin noted there is a potential loss of many trees if some corrective action isn't taken soon. He suggested that the commission study where, within the park system, a stream might be appropriate. He thought that engineering should be allowed to proceed and get the water level down and the trail uncovered. At a future date the commission could look at a recirculating system. In response to a question, Director Vraa said the water has been high for over a year, and at this time, has not been viewed as a threat to the trees. The damage has already been done. He said that engineering is planning ahead that Pilot Knob Road is being upgraded, Chatterton Ponds is being developed and all of this will cause the Mooney Lake level to go up further. Engineering suggested the corrections be made now, to get the lake level on Pond JP -8 down and make it a more pond -like setting. Commissioner Caponi reiterated that the Commission should have more input into engineering planning. He said the Commission has concerns about the park and pond that the engineers have not addressed. He felt the water level at Mooney Lake is not at a critical stage. He wanted a joint study undertaken with parks and engineering to resolve the water flow, the high water elevation and the submerged trail. He did not want to be snowballed into the project without parks input. Commissioner Martin said the commission can express their concerns in this regard but the project should not be halted until such a study is completed. Commissioner Masin questioned why all of the ponds are tied to the City drainage sytstem. She thought that some of the ponds, particularly in the parks, should be left out of the overall system. There was additional discussion and a number of questions posed, some of which were to be referred to the Engineering Department. 3 Director Vraa said, in response to a question, that the costs involved in constructing a stream would have to be determined. He thought that as long as engineering was flexible on the depth of the storm drainage line, they could have it flow above ground for a few years and see what happens. That would give the parks department time to design an appropriate plan. Mr. Vraa indicated the Commission take action because the water level could soon be a problem and the residents will demand relief in the form of a storm sewer system. On a motion by Martin, seconded by Caponi, the Commission recommended that staff work with engineering regarding the stated concerns at Moony Lake, Patrick Eagan Park and Pond JP -8. There should be a temporary solutuion to lower the level of Mooney Lake. Any construction that affects Patrick Eagan Park should have park staff and Commission input and review. The motion carried unanamously. Parks Director Vraa restated several questions to insure that he understood the Commissions concerns; the county's share of the costs, the cost of an overland stream, the possibility of a temporary overland pipe and the high water level at Mooney Lake and Pond JP -8. Commissioner Kubik expressed concerns with the piecemeal approach to the drainage system. He said many of Eagan's parks are impacted by water runoff, and volunteered to be a member of a joint committee to study the whole problem if such a committee is formed. Chairman Martin suggested that Public Works Director Tom Colbert attend the October Commission meeting to discuss Eagan's overall drainage system. 3. 1987 LAWCON /L.C.M.R. Grant Ranking /Thomas Lake Park Parks Superintendent John VonDeLinde announced that the grant application for Thomas Lake Community Park was ranked #1 in the Metro Area and for Northview Athlectic Fields was ranked #2. Because only one grant can be accepted he recommended the City prepare a final application for the Thomas Lake Grant and decline the $45,000 for Northview. Mr. Vondelinde said that the grant breakdown is a follows: $225,000 LAWCON share; $105,000 LCMR share and $120,000 City share. Mr. Vondelinde noted the City could year for Blackhawk or Patrick Eagan athletic site category as was the pleased with staffs' efforts and received. 4 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. September 4, 1986 submit traditional applications again next Park. He did not think there would be an case this year. The commission was very commended staff on the high rankings 4. Park Dedication Review of draft revisions Director Vraa had sent out the draft revisions by separate mailing and requested that comments be given to him within two weeks. The final draft will be on the October agenda. Chairman Martin indicated that it appeared the draft followed very closely what the Commission and Council had discussed. He looked forward to its completion soon for recommendation to the council. 1. Summer Recreation Report 2. Sunpointe 1st Addition OTHER BUSINESS Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. September 4, 1986 This item was moved up on the agenda to accommodate the recreation staff. Recreation supervisor, Dorothy Peterson, reported on a successful summer. She said that the theater project was particularly well received and the participants were very enthusiastic. Their production was included in the "Evening in the Park which 100 to 200 people attended each time. Ms. Peterson reported that the cooperative tennis program with Eagandale Club went quite well despite some glitches. She felt the standarization of instruction was good. There were 2000 participants in softball, but she reported that next year the City will be able to open up a bit on enrollment restrictions when Rahn park is available. Fall registrations will be taken on the computer, and the calendar will be coming out in November. Paula Sunder, Recreation Supervisor, said there were over 800 Regular participants in summer programs for youngsters. She had a staff of 24, of which 12 were repeats. All water related activities were well received. Ms. Sunder made some changes in the T -ball program to make it a more positive experience for the youngsters. There were 115 three twelve year olds in the dance program and 105 in tiny tots. The play wagon was successful as it is every year. Ms. Sunder said the department might try after school -in- the -park for two months. They are also thinking about Friday night co -ed volleyball and other special events. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS 1. Fairway Hills 2nd Addition Planner Sturm described the proposal which has 60 lots on a 25 acre site. He recommended that park area remain as shown. The Planning Commission had approved the proposal with some conditions. Commissioner Bertz mover, Ketcham seconded, the recommendation of cash dedication with the retention of the park plan. All voted in favor. This proposal calls for 90 townhouses on 10.5 acres, resulting in 9 units per acre. It is part of the Eagan Hills West P.U.D. Planner Sturm noted that the Planning Commission was concerned about how the rest of the site was to be developed. Current plans call for more townhouses. He suggested the Commission review having a trail along the north side of Diffley Road. Commissioner Carroll moved, seconded by Kubik, to recommend trail dedication along the north side of Diffley Road and that the developer consider having a tot lot. That motion carried. A tot lot will be a requirement if more townhouses are constructed on the adjoining acreage. The commission wants to review again if there are any changes from the current proposal. 5 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. September 4, 1986 3. Johnny Cake Ridge 5th Addition The proposal is for three four -plex units in Johnny Cake Ridge. The Planning Commission denied the application because of poor soil conditions and the fact that adjoining neighbors were told the area was to be an open space. Commissioner Thurston moved, Bertz seconded, the recommendation to accept cash dedication. The motion carried. 4. Brittany 10th Addition Planner Sturm reported some indecision regarding this proposal. The day of the Planning Commission meeting, the developer stated he would only develop half of the site, and then later, he said he was withdrawing all together. Mr. Strum expects the developer to continue on with the application. The entire parcel would yield a 9 acre park, and the park is sorely needed. Director Vraa agreed and said that trailways on Thomas Lake Road, Cliff Road and a short section on Covington Road Extension should also be required. He continued, indicating the current residential development in the park service section and the need to aquire the remaining of the parks parcel. Commissioner Carroll wondered if the park configuration should be changed. Mr. Vraa said the topography and existing trailway make the configuration, as shown, the preferred one. After additional discussion regarding the need to have the parks final dedication as soon as possible, on a motion by Ketcham, seconded by Porter, the commission recommended the land dedication be given up front and in total with any first phase development. There should also be trail dedication on Cliff and Thomas Lake Road and a sidewalk on Covington. Cash dedication will be recommended for future development beyonds the park land requirement. All voted in favor. 5. Town Centre 100 3rd Addition This is a housekeeping item to accept the three acre strip to the northern border of O'Leary Park. Commissioner Bertz moved,. Carroll seconded, to recommend acceptance of the three acres. The motion Carried. 6. September Agenda Planner Sturm stated there are some return proposals; a 30 acre commerical development which will include a restaurant, as well as a ten story apartment building. Splashland has resolved it's problems and will be in for a final plat. Commissioner Kubik commented that town Centre 100 does not present a pleasing picture for visitors passing through the city. The Park Ride is the most visible eyesore; the colors at Rainbow Foods clash with the rest of the mall and he wondered if the landscape policy was being observed. There was criticism of the overlarge parking lot for Rainbow Foods, and Planner Sturm said that was Rainbow's policy, which exceeded City parking requirements. He added that state law now says that any venture with over 1000 parking stalls must have a state review. Commissioners Kubik and Martin thought the results of the landscape policy on the 1986 developments should be reviewed in March of 1987. The Commission would like to see if the policy is operating as intended. 6 PARKS DEVELOPMENT 1. Status Report Development Projects Parks Planner Steve Sullivan reported there are now seven active contracts plus another one to become active next week. The ballfield lighting is done, five parks have been final graded and most have been seeded. The parking lots are in. The fencing contract has been let. The parking lot lighting at Trapp Farm Park, Goat hill and Rahn parks will be in this year. There is a total of over $1 Million dollars under contract. NEW BUSINESS 1. Formation of Study Committee Community Center Parks Recreation Director Vraa said he has had inquiries over the months as to when a Commumnity Center will come into being. Previously, the excuse had been that the park development took precedence, but that is no longer the case. He suggested the Commission now consider a study group review a community center project. The committee would visit other communities, and have "experts" in to give testimony, etc. Chairman Martin suggested the Advisory Commission be the study committee for the time being and perhaps invite interested, knowledgeable people as additional members. Commissioner Masin thought the committee should be independent of the Commission with commision members free to attend if they so desire. Chairman Martin wanted a special meeting held this fall to decide the direction to be taken and who should be involved. Commisssioners Bertz and Thurston wanted a log kept of requests for community programs and that they were for, and all of the information should be ready for the fall meeting. Commissioner Kubik moved, Thurston seconded, the start up of a special committee to study the need for a Community Center. The Parks Recreation Commission will comprise the initial committee with others to be added as needed. A Planning session will be held Tuesday, September 30 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. All voted in favor. 3. Metro Art Grant Application OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS(Continued) 2. The Annual Picnic will be September 12, at Trapp Farm Park. 7 Adv.Parks Rec.Comm. September 4, 1986 4. October Agenda Items 5. Roundtable Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. September 4, 1986 Eagan's application ranked high but the fund ran out of money so the City was not successful in its application for $3,000. (A) Director Vraa said the final draft of the park dedication policy will be on the agenda. (B) He asked Commissioners if they would be interested in a fall "volunteer recognition" rather than in the spring as it has been. There was a consensus for a fall City tour. (C) Mr. Vraa announced the City Council approved the proposed fee structure for a park shelter building with the additional dollars to be put in the park improvement fund. (D) He noted there have been requests from Burnsville people for Eagan facilities because Burnsville now charges for its facilities. He suggested the commission have some policy discussion to see what direction Eagan should take. (E) Mr. Vraa stated that a River Hills resident had requested that the open space under the power lines be maintained for needed park space in River Hills. He reminded the Commision that they had earlier agreed not to maintain that strip and that River Hills and Cinnamon Park, while small, is adequate and there are other facilities nearby. The commission agreed. (F) Director Vraa is redoing the bond budget and will bring the Commission up to date as to where the city is, where it has been and to discuss any changes, if desired. He noted that some costs have been appreciably higher while others have been very close to the actual figure. (G) Commissioner Kubik commented on the great amount of use the archery range has had at Walnut Hill Park. He thought the City should consider another one soon. (H) Commissioner Carroll says that Goat hill Park on the Lexingrton side has vegetation which needs to be trimmed back because of poor sight lines. (I) Commissioner Bertz noted that cars were parked on both sides of the road at Northview Park even though one side is posted. She also commented that the correction work at Cedar Pond has left dirt piles which should be removed. 8 (J) Chairman Martin asked the Commission to include the City Code review on the October agenda. Commissioners are to get their comments to Director Vraa in time for inclusion in the October packet. (K) Commissioner Masin asked staff to send a thank you note to the maintenance crew for the equipment demonstration under Chairman Martin's signature. The Commission also thanked staff for the great dinner. Commissioner Kubik requested that a letter be sent to the Dakota County Commissioners regarding the Department's positive feelings towards the community service project. Commissioner Kubik moved, Thurston seconded, that the meeting be adjourned. Time of adjournment was 11:00 p.m. Dated: ADJOURNMENT Advisory Parks Recreation Secretary 9 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. September 4, 1986 MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 1986 RE: OCTOBER 2, 1986 COMMISSION MEETING DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ITEM I Lexington Hills 1st Addition has been approved by the Advisory Planning Commission and will proceed to the City Council to review on October 7th. The Advisory Commission has previously reviewed this development, which is covered under the Lexington South PUD. Commission has not taken any action, pending revisions that were being proposed, now completed. Staff is recommending that a trailway on Lexington Avenue be the responsibility of this preliminary plat. ITEM II Carboni's is seeking expansion to it's site. Such expansion should be subject to the City's cash dedication requirement. ITEM III Item #3 Pondview P.U.D., which is located west of Pilot Knob Road, north of Englert Road. This twenty -nine acre parcel, under the PUD designation would provide for mixed commercial and multiple residential use. This area is located in Park Service Section 421, which has a proposed park located adjacent to the Deerwood School location, and as such, Staff is not recommending a land dedication. Therefore, a cash dedication requirement, calculated at time of platting should be a condition of the P.U.D. A cash dedication for the proposed apartment complex is also recommended. This cash dedication would be subject to the new proposed Parks Dedication Policy now under review. This PUD should also be responsible for a trailway along Pilot Knob Road. ITEM IV The fourth proposal is from Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church for a permanent structure. The church has been operating out of a "temporary" facility for several years. The congregation has now proceeded with the construction of a permanent facility, requiring them to plat the 3.5 plat acre parcel. Staff is recommending that a cash dedication requirement be a condition of plat approval, deferred until such time as the property is no longer utilized as a church facility. ITEM V Roy Spandee proposes a lot split for a parcel on Ridgeview Terrace. If approved, this newly created lot shall be subject to the City's cash dedication requirement. ITEM VI Dakota Electric is seeking a waiver of plat, in order to construct an electri cal sub station, on a parcel of land approximately .89 acres, south of Cliff Road and west of Dodd Road. The City has not formally addressed, nor has the current parks dedication ordinance provided for parks dedication for this type of land use. Commission should discuss and make a recommendation regarding such a fee and it's rationale for so doing. OLD BUSINESS 1. Discussion and Review of Park Ordinance Enclosed in the packet is the second draft for Commission review /approval. After Commission's approval, this document should be forwarded to the City Council for consideration, reviewal, and adoption. 2. Blackhawk Park Item #2 concerns Blackhawk Park, specifically the property owned by Mr. Ed Dunn. Mr. Dunn has recently had conversations with department staff regarding the status of his property, and the potential that his entire land holdings will be sold. Mr. Dunn is inquiring to see if the City still has any interest in the parcel, adjacent to Blackhawk, for parks purposes. Commission should be made aware that Mr. Dunn is genuinely interested in selling his parcel for parks purposes, rather than for multiple residential development. Mr. Dunn has expressed that he would be willing to extend terms to the City, that would allow the Commission and City to purchase the property over a number of years. The Commission should determine if it wishes to purchase additional land at this time. It is unlikely that the "new" owner would offer the parcel for parks at prices currently being quoted by Mr. Dunn. 3. Mooney Lake Patrick Eagan Park Storm Sewer Project 473 Staff will make a brief report to update the Commission on the status of this particular project. NEW BUSINESS Staff has received a letter of complaint from Mary Teske, of the Riverhills 9th Addition neighborhood. The letter is enclosed, along with an area map locating the ponding area iN question. There is little that the Parks and Recreation Department can do to solve this problem, other than defer it to the Public Works Department. I have spoken with Ms. Teske in regards to this, and she feels that it is important that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission be made aware of the problem, in hopes that they can exert some influence on the Public Works Department to hasten the resolution of this problem. 2. Long Range Planning Staff has prepared a memorandum concerning this particular topic for Commission's reviewal. The focus of this long range planning is the Commission's desire to take steps now to preserve an opportunity for a future Cultural Arts Center. 3. Water Quality Study Commission has previously asked that Tom Colbert appear at the October Commission meeting, in order to discuss the water quality report now being undertaken by the Public Works Department. In response to an earlier memorandum, Tom has indicated that he would be unable to attend the October 2nd meeting. I have requested a written report from him, which he intends to complete. 4. Coaches Training Coaches training is sponsored by the National Youth Sports Coaches Association, and is the 4th item under "New Business At the time of this memorandum, staff had not yet completed a separate memorandum. This should be completed by the time the Commission meets on Thursday evening for Commission reviewal. 5. Parks Development Four items under "Parks Development" include: a Status Development Report, on new projects, and more importantly, reviewal and determination of project priorities for the 1987 construction program. A separate memorandum concerning the possible projects for 1987 has been included for your reviewal. Deferred until November is the Parks Bond Status Report. Staff has been unable to complete new cost projections for projects yet remaining, and therefore is unable to report on this item. The architectural firm of Schwartz Webber, has completed it's preliminary design for sun shelters and warming houses facilities. Staff would like to review these preliminary designs with the Commission in order to provide direction to the architect. OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS Enclosed in the packet is a letter and petition from residents adjacent to the proposed Brittany 10th Addition. They are requesting additional green space be provided with the platting of the Brittany 10th Addition. Staff recommendation was for a land dedication for the development of Walden Heights Park. Also, enclosed for your review is a monthly report on building permits activitites within the City. This informative monthly report gives the Commission an update on building activity and growth within the community. If there are no other items of business, the Commission would then adjourn. KV /bls AGENDA ITEM C 1 MEMO TO: CHAIRPERSON PAM MC CREA AND THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 1986 SUBJECT: LEXINGTON HILLS FIRST ADDITION In mid August, staff continued this item until the September APC meeting since revised plans had not been received and consequently, legal notifications were not made. Plans addressing some concerns of the APC have been re- submitted for your review. In the meantime, a neighborhood meeting was held on August 20, with approximately 25 people in attendance. Many of the initial questions were addressed and the neighbors will be notified of the September 23 meeting. Architectural changes include: brick on the ends of the dwelling units and garages, a single hot water heater system and the addition of a. 1,000 S.F. activity center or 1 of the front /center building. The color will be a cream yellow. STREETS /CIRCULATION: The revised layout for the Lexington Hills 1st Addition eliminates two concerns staff had regarding the previous site plan. The first was that the development proposed garages taking access from the major entrance road. The new plan eliminates this with no access onto the major access road for garages. The next item was circulation to the northerly apartments. The original plan did not provide any easy way to turn around other than driving in the parking stall and backing up. The new plan provides for a circular movement which makes access much easier and safer. With regard to parking, this new site plan eliminates the previous problem of garage stalls not equalling the number of units per apartment building. In this new plan, the garage stalls all correspond to the number of units per building, thereby alleviating the possibility of having tenants walk as far as 250' to the garage. Now the maximum distance is around 100'. The original report for the July 29, 1986, Planning Commission meeting is still quite accurate with the exception of the above. As for the conditions, they may remain as listed for the July Planning Commission meeting. �Y I t I So s o 1 -I I I I3 I I (33 I 1 I i I I PREPARED 101: t I I PREPARED IT: I 0. HEOLUSERVICNESD EINC.

The AMENDMENT LEXINGTON SOUTH PUD Mayor Blomquist next convened the public hearing regarding a request by Lexington South, Inc., Jim Curry, for an amendment to the Lexington South Planned Development to exchange land uses on two parcels of the Lexington South PUD. It was noted that the Advisory Planning Commission recommended approval of the-amendment, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. It was noted that the exchange of land uses of the two parcels west of Northview Athletic Fields and north of that area, resulted in a potential 360 unit reduction in density over the entire area. All neighbors had been noticed as to the rezoning and agreed. Presentations by City Planner Runkle and Mr. Jim Curry indicated that the developer was willing to contractually agree to maximum densities of 4 and 12 units per acre as a result of the amendment. Wachter moved, Thomas seconded the motion to approve the rezoning subject to the following conditions and absolute maximum densities agreed upon: 1.

Dear Jim: On behalf of the City of Eagan, its City Council and Parks Recreation Advisory Commission, I am pleased to write this letter to you indicating that with the transfer of title of approximately 74 acres of parkland to the City of Eagan, the Lexington South Planned Unit Development has fulfilled its obligation for parkland dedication under the P.U.D. Agreement. This land dedication is a historical event in the history of the Eagan Parks System as well as a major milestone for the Lexington South Planned Unit Development. Certainly this is something that Jim Curry, the individual, can be a proud of as Jim Curry, the developer. 1, h Warmest Regards, 011 l Ken as Director of Parks Recreation KV /js p o „,4 4 7 A-$ 9 cEty o acr' n THE LONE OAK TREE...THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY BEA BLOMOUIST Moyoi THOMAS EGAN JAME S A SMITH JERRY 1HOMAS 11EODOR( WACHIER Counc+ Herron 1HOMAS HCDGES Cny Arvn.nshoio.

CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT (LEXINGTON HILLS FIRST ADDITION) 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 parkingspace 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. APC JULY 29, 1986 LEXINGTON HILLS FIRST ADD PAGE 4 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. 4. County highway access 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 entrance drive. 4. This development shall dedicate a 50' half right -of -way for Lexington Avenue. 5. This development shall dedicate a ponding easement to the HWL for Pond JP -29. 6. This development shall dedicate a minimum 20' wide utility easement over any utility not located within public right of -way. 7. This development shall be responsible for the easement, if necessary, across the property to the south of it to'install the sanitary sewer. 8. This development will be responsible for an 8' trailway along Lexington Avenue. 9. This development will be responsible for complying with any standard engineering conditions which may apply. 10. All standard plat conditions shall be adhered to. APC JULY 29, 1986 LEXINGTON HILLS FIRST ADD PAGE 5 11. A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted and a financial guarantee insuring proper installation and shall not be released until one full year after completion. 12. One garage unit shall be included with the rent. 13. The building color and roof color shall be determined prior to preliminary plat approval. 14. Trash locations if not in the garages) shall be screened and noted on the site plan. 15. A tot lot shall be provided and the plat shall be reviewed by the Advisory Parks Commission. 16. A trailway along Lexington Av shall be the responsibility of the developer. 17. The plat shall be subject to a cash parks dedication fee.

D EAGAN, MINNESOTA CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT (CARBONE'S FIRST ADDITION) APPLICANT: DAVID CARBONE LOCATION: SW h, SECTION 9 EXISTING ZONING: N.B. (NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: SEPTEMBER 15, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION: An application has been submitted requesting a preliminary plat for Carbone's First Addition. This plat consists of 1 .76 acre lot, a combination of the existing Carbone's parcel and a 90' x 130' parcel to the north. Both parcels are zoned NB as are areas abutting to the north and east. Agricultural zoned land is to the east. SITE PLAN: Due to the upgrading of Yankee Doodle Road, Carbone's decided to do a parking lot expansion at this time. The restaurant will be serviced by a single access with one way loop circulation to the right. 50 total parking stalls will be provided, including 4 handicapped ones along the front of the building. Stalls 1, 19 and 1,7 near the back of the lot should be designated employee only due to the tight angle of the parking islands. Otherwise, one from each side should be removed. The building itself meets all setback requirements and will not change. Code requires a parking setback of 20' in areas adjacent to residential or agricultural districts. Parking will be 13' from the agricultural parcel to the east with the drive lane 5' from the property line. However, both are further back then the existing parking lot. The existing wood fence along that property line will remain but it is not shown on the newly created part of the lot. Berming is proposed along Pilot Knob Road and a detailed landscape plan will be required prior to final plat submission. The Inspection Department has noted that the fire code will require the trash enclosure to be 20' from the building or else enclosed in the building and sprinkled. Since the building is not being remodeled, a different location on site will need to be located, properly enclosed and screened. CARBONE'S FIRST ADD SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 PAGE 2 GRADING /DRAINAGE: A preliminary grading plan proposed with this development is feasible and is in accordance with all City Codes. Drainage over this development is southerly towards Yankee Doodle Road. With the upgrading of Yankee Doodle Road to a four lane urban section, the existing ditch where the storm ,water off this parcel ran off into will be filled. Therefore, this development will have to construct some internal storm sewer to collect the runoff from the parking lot and direct it into the nearest county storm sewer system. UTILITIES: This development proposes on enlarging its existing parking lot only, thereby not requiring any new utility services or main extensions. STREETS: Yankee Doodle Road boarders this proposed development along its southerly boundary. Yankee Doodle Road is presently under construction to upgrade it from a two lane rural roadway section to a four lane urban highway section. Yankee Doodle Road is under the jurisdiction of the Dakota County Highway Department. According to the Yankee Doodle Road improvement plans, the County is planning to maintain the present access onto Yankee Doodle Road. The internal circulation will be one -way. This may require some signing and traffic striping to identify the one -way movement. However, Staff sees no problem with it. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: This development will be responsible for dedicating a 50' half right -of -way for Yankee Doodle Road. A 90' roadway easement currently exists along the southerly boundary of this property. Staff recommends this development petition for the vacation of the entire roadway easement. However, the final plat should not be approved until the Council has officially vacated this easement. The developer will also be responsible for dedicating any easements required by City Code. ASSESSMENTS: In researching the City's assessment records, Staff finds that this development is still responsible for the following assessments: Description Pro* Zoning Rate Quantity Amount (1) Water Lateral Benefit 61 C/I 19.57/FF 10' 195.70 (2) Water Area Upgrade 61 C/I 1830/A 0.27 Ac 491.53 (3) Storm Sewer Trunk 371 C/I .075 /SF (11,700 SF) x 2/3 585.00 Total Proposed Assessment $1,272.23 Staff recommends these assessments be a condition to final plat approval and that they be at the rate in effect at the time of final platting. This development will be responsible for all costs associated with developing this parcel. CARBONE'S FIRST ADD SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 PAGE 3 CONDITIONS: This development shall be responsible for storm sewer to drain the parking lot into storm sewer constructed under the Yankee Doodle Road street improvement project. 2. This development should dedicate a 50' half right -of -way for Yankee Doodle Road and also the existing 90' easement shall be vacated prior to final plat approval. 1. 3, This development shall be responsible for the water lateral benefit, trunk water area upgrade, and trunk storm sewer assessments at the rate in effect at the time of final platting. 4. A detailed landscape plan be submitted, bonded and not released until after 1 year from the time of installation. 5. This plat shall be subject to a parks dedication fee. 6. The existing pylon sign will be relocated and be 10' within property lines.

LOCATION: PART OF THE EAST 1/2 OF THE SE 1/4 OF SECTION 16 BETWEEN I -35E PILOT KNOB ROAD EXISTING ZONING: R -2, UNDER THE BLACKHAWK PARK P.D. AND A (AGRICULTURAL) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: SEPTEMBER 16, 1986 PROPOSAL SUMMARY: The first application submitted is a request to rezone approximately 29.7 acres from R -2,in the Blackhawk Park Planned Development, and A (agricultural) to a planned development which would allow a mixed commercial multiple residential use on the 29.7 acres. The specific uses would include Lot 1, a Bonanza Restaurant consisting of 242 seats, Lot 2, a three story motel consisting of 110 units, Lot 3, a 14,000 S.F. office, Lot 4, a 14,000 S.F. office, Lot 5, a ten story 208 unit apartment and Lot 6, a 41 unit townhouse development. ZONING AND LAND USE: In the review of this 29 acre parcel it appears that a portion is within the Blackhawk Park north and a small portion of the property could be outside of the planned development depending upon where the actual road right -of -way is for I -35E. In either case, the property would require amending the zoning to allow a mixed commercial /residential planned development as specifically stated above. The Comprehensive Guide Plan had been amended in 1985 with the application of the CTC Check Technology proposal. The zoning and planned development was approved and the Comprehensive Guide did allow a change in the land use to an LB (limited business) use for the northern 10 acres of this property. Technically, a comprehensive plan amendment should be required in order to allow a higher intensity commercial use, as is now being proposed, versus the limited business which is presently on the property. BACKGROUND: In October of 1984, the City received an application from Anderson Development, Inc., proposing to construct a corporate headquarters for a company called Check Technology Corporation. POND VIEW REZONING SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 PAGE 2 This development proposal consisted of a 72,000 S.F. office show room structure which was to be the corporate headquarters for Check Technology Corporation. This request was looked at as major land use change from the 1980 Comprehensive Guide which originally designated this entire parcel as an R -II mixed residential with a density of 3 6 units per acre. It was in the 1984 1985 process that it was determined to try to coordinate the individual parcels and come up with one master plan or planned development as to how to develop this entire tract of property. It was the intention of Anderson Development to develop this parcel as a commercial facility. Needless to say, this development has not gone forward and Anderson Development is no longer involved as owners or applicants with this proposed project. The submission made in September, 1986, would consist of six lots, four commercial and two residential. The four commercial lots could possibly be conceived as a higher intensity use than what was originally proposed in 1984. The applicants have, however, done an excellent job in coordinating the entire tract of property between the residential owners the Reeds, Mr. Cornwall on the north and Mr. Dunn on the south. The property takes into account mixed use, an overall circulation and•a fairly detailed concept plan as to how this area would be proposed to be developed. The original application also included a request for a preliminary plat in the first phase which would be the Bonanza Restaurant on Lot 1 of this development. Their detailed plans were received late by the City staff and the preliminary plat could not be processed in time to consider the first phase development along with the overall concept of the planned development. The plans have been submitted to City staff and will be processed and scheduled for the October Planning Commission meeting for a detailed review of the first phase. Since the concept plan was fairly detailed, the staff suggested that an overall concept be looked at and a review made on the total development versus detailing one specific use. Along with the land use change, the circulation pattern has changed from the original concept. As you may recall, the original concept with the one use building had a loop circulation road running along the east property all the way down to Englert Road. The new circulation plan is showing a stub access on Duckwood Drive to the right -of -way of I -35E. This would allow an alternative to an overpass if in fact traffic studies and circulation patterns for Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road would require alternate bypasses. Again, this is only a preventative measure and it is by no means suggested that it be done or would even be feasibile. The access to the project would be from Duckwood Road bisecting Lots 1 and 2, 3 and 5 and 3 and 4, thus creating a loop system with a right in, right out at Crestridge Lane and full movement from the intersection of Duckwood Drive. There is a question as to the need to provide access to the south to Englert Road in connection with this development plan. POND VIEW REZONING SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 PAGE 3 In review of the overall land use issues,there is one comment staff would like to make in respect to the overall density of the development proposal. Presently the property is zoned R -2 (mixed residential) with a density of 3 6 dwelling units per acre allowed in the Blackhawk Park Planned Development. The application submitted is a request for a high -rise facility consisting of 208 units, 10 stories at a density of 25.3 units per net acre. This is a substantial increase in density from the original planned development agreement. The applicant is also proposing an additional 41 townhouse units on Lot 6, on the south end of this project. Staff is suggesting that some density shifts be made to potentially allow the multiple unit on the north side of the pond and the townhouse project eliminated with just open space provided. This would create the open space and transition area of this triangular piece of property for higher intensity uses on the north changing to residential south of Englert Road. In developing the plan in this manner, it would eliminate any potential need to provide access to Englert Road from the property north of the pond. This is merely a suggestion to create a buffer zone and separate these land uses. It is staff's understanding that the developer is not in agreement with this proposal and is requesting some density on the south side of the pond, just north of Englert Road. If in fact density is allowed south of the pond, some environmental issues may be triggered even though an Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared for the Blackhawk Park Planned Development. This gives you the overall concept for this planned development proposal. Again, the first phase has been submitted to City staff for a Bonanza Restaurant located on Lot 1 and if the planned development is approved, will be processed at the October 28, 1986, Advisory Planning Commission meeting. CONDITIONS: 1. The applicant and owner enter into a planned development agreement or amendment to the conditions of the planned development, in accordance with the concept plan submitted for the 6 lots. 2. The overall plan be reviewed by the Dakota County Highway Department and the Minnesota Department of Transportation because this project abuts these right -of -ways. 3. A comprehensive plan amendment be processed in accordance with this particular plan. 4. Prior to any first phase development, the existing residents of the property be in agreeement as to how and when their relocation will take place. I.. TAMARA t- mai S. Iowa roast 4 a :7.

(PUBLIC FACILITIES) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: SEPTEMBER 15, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION BACKGROUND: An application has been submitted request- ing a preliminary plat for Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church located south of Hilltop Plaza and north of "The Pines" condominiums along Pilot Knob Road in Section 22. On January 4, 1977, that church was granted a rezoning of 3.5 (Ag.) acres to a (P.F.) district. At that time, a waiver of plat was approved creating a separate legal parcel for the church. A site plan showing a proposed permanent structure was submitted with the intent that the building would be built within 5 years. In August, 1986, representatives of the church submitted a new site plan to the City. The Inspection Department could not issue the building permit since the 5 year limit was up and due to changes in the site plan. In an effort to speed up the building process, since all building plans were completed, the Planning, Engineering and Inspection Departments agreed to process the building permit but not allow occupancy until the land was final platted. This action would require Council approval and was done so on September 2, 1986. SITE PLAN: The 1986 plan will eliminate access from Pilot Knob Road with the new access to the church off of Berry Ridge Road. Staff recommends lining up this drive with that of "The Pines" condominiums. A secondary future access will connect to Hilltop Lane when the parking lot expands. 52 stalls are being provided in the first phase of construction. All setbacks meet Code require- ments. A location for a future parsonage has been noted just south of the existing building which will also be removed. A detailed overall landscape plan 'should be submitted prior to final plat submission. Special emphasis will be on the parking lot screening for both phases of construction. It is important to have the overall plan since churches often add trees for memorials, etc. However, screening of parking areas will be a requirement of the final plat procedure. BEAUTIFUL SAVIOR LUTHERAN CHURCH SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 PAGE 2 GRADING /DRAINAGE: The preliminary grading plan for this proposed development is feasible. However, it will have to be modified due to Staff's driveway relocation recommendation discussed under the paragraph entitled, "STREETS The driveway relocation will be directly across from the Pines driveway. This will fill in the low area that this development was proposing to drain its parking lot drainage to. The concept of draining the existing parking lot overland to the west is because of future parking lot expansion in that area. Also, Staff will require the applicant to install a storm sewer from the low point in the future parking lot to connect to the storm sewer the County will build at the Berry Ridge Road intersection with Pilot Knob Road next year. The reason for this storm sewer is twofold. First, the City does not allow overland parking lot runoff over public right -of -way. Secondly, the future parking lot will require concrete curbing which will require a storm sewer. This development will not require the extension or modification of any trunk storm sewer system. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size, capacity, and depth exist within Berry Ridge Road to provide service to this development. This development will have to tap into the existing mains within Berry Ridge Road for new services. To minimize street repair work, Staff recommends that the applicant install the sewer and water services within the same trench. Also, Staff recommends the installation of at least one clean -out between the service and the building because length exceeds 100'. STREETS: Pilot Knob Road borders this development on the west, Berry Ridge Road borders this development on the north, and Hilltop Lane borders this development on the east. Pilot Knob Road is under the jurisdiction of the Dakota County Highway Department and is scheduled for upgrading to a major arterial status in 1987. Berry Ridge Road and Hilltop Lane are City streets built to their ultimate widths and cross sections. The applicant is proposing to eliminate both access points onto Pilot Knob Road and obtain its future accesses from Berry Ridge Road and Hilltop Lane. Staff feels that Dakota County will restrict the access onto Pilot Knob Road in the platting process. Staff recommends this development line up its driveway with the driveway to the Pines development. As it is, the offset intersections will add an additional conflict point for left hand turning movement into the Pines and left hand turning movement out of the church parking lot. Staff does not feel it would be any hardship to line these driveways up. In order for the church driveway to function properly, the three northerly parking stalls along the westerly edge of the first phase of the parking lot would have to be eliminated. However, at least two of these would have to be eliminated when the future parking lot is built. BEAUTIFUL SAVIOR LUTHERAN CHURCH SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 PAGE 3 RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS This development will be responsible for dedicating a 75' half right -of -way for Pilot Knob Road. Right -of- way for Berry Ridge Road and Hilltop Lane were dedicated under previous plats. Presently, the City has a 125' highway easement for Pilot Knob Road. Prior to final platting, the City should vacate the existing easterly 50' of excess easement. The appliant will be responsible for petitioning the City for such vacation with the Council authorizing a vacation prior to final plat approval. ASSESSMENTS: In researching past assessment records for this parcel (10- 02200 012 -54), Staff has found that this development is still responsible for lateral benefit from trunk sanitary sewer, trunk area storm sewer, and future street and trailway asssessment for Pilot Knob Road. These are listed in the following table.

SPANDE 1ST ADDITION SW h, SECTION 4 EXISTING ZONING: R -1 (SINGLE FAMILY) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: SEPTEMBER 15, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT APPLICATION: An application has been submitted by Roy A. Spande, requesting a waiver of plat in order to 'split Lot 1, Block 1 into 2 lots. The overall Spande Addition will then contain 4 lots. The new lot will measure 90' x 175' (15,750 S.F.) and be on the S.W. corner of Highview Avenue and Bridgeview Terrace. The existing home on Lot 1 will not be affected by this waiver in terms of setback requirements, and there will be 2 30' front yard setbacks for the new lot. Staff has no additional comments to the original report dated July 23, 1985, except as follows: UTILITIES: Utilities of sufficient size, capacity, and depth exist within Highview Avenue and Bridgeview Terrace to provide service to this development. With this waiver, Lot 1 will have to install a water and sanitary sewer service off of Highview Avenue. This is because Lot 1 will no longer be able, to use its existing water service off of Bridgeview. The new lot can use the existing water service but will have to construct a new sewer service from Bridgeview. The basement elevation for the new parcel must be higher than a 785 elevation to obtain service from the existing sanitary sewer. 1. The applicant must install a sanitary sewer service and water service to Lot 1 and a sanitary sewer service to the newly created lot. 2. This development shall be responsible for a park dedication fee. 3. If approved, this Waiver of Plat shall be subject to all applicable code requirements. CITY OF EAGAN C 6 SUBJECT: WAIVER OF PLAT (LEBANON HILLS SUBSTATION) APPLICANT: DAKOTA ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION LOCATION: NW 4, SECTION 36 EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: SEPTEMBER 15, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION: An application has been submitted by Dakota Electric Association, requesting a waiver of plat in order to split .89 acres from an existing 3.3 acre parcel southeast of Dodd and Cliff Roads in Section 36. The new parcel is needed to provide an electrical substation. This substation will be contained within a chain link fence. The eastern side of this site will need considerable screening or land berming to lessen the impact on the home to the east. Dakota Electric has submitted an attachment detailing the reasons for the substation. GRADING /DRAINAGE: Because of the small area and use of this site, staff did not anticipate the grading to be of any problem. The development does not propose on changing any existing drainage patterns. The development will maintain an existing north to south drainage pattern. UTILITIES: Because of the use of this site, the applicant will not require any utilities. STREETS: Access to this development will be from a 20' easement off of Dodd Road. It will be a private access maintained by the applicant. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: This development will not require the dedication of any easement or right -of -way for City purposes.

PURPOSE: The City Council recognizes it is essential to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of Eagan and persons working in Eagan, that the character and quality of the environment be considered to be of major importance in the planning and development of the City. In this regard, the manner in which land is developed and used is of high priority. The preservation of land for park, playground and public open space purposes as it relates to the use and development of land for residential, commercial /industrial purposes is essential to the maintaining of a healthful and desirable environment for all citizens of the City. The City must not only provide these necessary amenities for our citizens today, but also be insightful to the needs of our future citizens. It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park, playground and public open space within a municipality is directly related to the density and intensity of development permitted and allowed within any given area. Urban type developments mean greater numbers of people and higher demands for park, playground and public open space. To disregard this principle is to inevitably over -tax existing facilities and thus, diminish the quality of the environment for all. The City's Park Systems Plan Study has established minimum community criteria for meeting the needs of the residents of Eagan. In order to meet the community needs for parks and open space, 15 acres of park shall be required for each 1,000 residents, of which 12 acres shall be designated as neighborhood parks. This shall be the standard upon which the City shall establish its parkland and parks cash dedication. It is the policy of Eagan that the following standards and guidelines for the dedication of land for park, playground, and public open space purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of such dedication) in the subdividing and developing of land within the City shall be directly related to the density and intensity of each subdivision and development. 2. RESIDENTIAL PARKLAND DEDICATION The amount of land to be dedicated by a developer shall be based on the gross area of the proposed subdivision, proposed type of dwelling unit and density. Census data for 1985 of 3.5 residents for single family, 2.8 for duplex, 2.1 for townhouse /quad. and 1.9 for apartments has been used as density standards for formulating calculations in meeting the criteria of park needs of Eagan residents. 1 The formula for land dedication: The greater of 1) proposed units per acre or 2) zoned density. DWELLING UNITS LAND TO BE DEDICATED 0 1.9 units per acre 8% 1.9 3.5 units per acre 10% 3.5 5.9 units per acre 12% 6 10 units per acre 14% 10 units per acre Add .5% for each unit over 10 3. STANDARDS FOR ACCEPTING DEDICATION OF LAND FOR PUBLIC PARK PURPOSES A. Land proposed to be dedicated for public purposes shall meet identified needs of the City as contained in the Park Systems Plan, Comprehensive Guide Plan and Trails Plan. B. Prior to dedication for public purpose, the subdivider shall deliver to the City Attorney, an abstract of title or registered property abstract for such dedication. Such title shall vest in the City good and marketable title, free and clear of any mortgages, liens, encumbrances, assessments and taxes. The conveyance documents shall be in such form acceptable to the City. C. The required dedication and /or payment of fees -in -lieu of land dedication shall be made at time of final plat approval. D. The removal of trees, topsoil, storage of construction equipment, burying of construction debris, or stockpiling of surplus soil is strictly forbidden without the written approval of the Director of Parks Recreation. E. Grading and utlity plans, which may affect or impact the proposed park dedication, shall be reviewed and approved by the Parks and Recreation Director prior to dedication, or at such time as is reasonably determined. F. To be eligible for park dedication credit, land dedicated is to be located outside of drainways, flood plains or ponding areas after the site has been developed. Grades exceeding 12% or are unsuitable for parks development shall be considered for partial dedication. Where ponding has been determined to have a park function, credit will be given at a rate of 50% of the pond and adjoining land area below the high water level; a minimum of 70% of land above the high water mark shall be dedicated before pond credit is granted. Other City park dedication policies relating to pond dedication must also be complied with. G. In those cases where subdividers and developers of land provide significant amenities such as, but not limited to swimming pools, tennis courts, handball courts, ball fields, etc. within the development for the benefit of those residing or working therein, and where, in the judgment of the Director of Parks Recreatio such amenities significantly reduce the demands for public recreational facilities to serve the development, the Director may recommend to the 2 City Council that the amount of land to be dedicated for park, playground and public open space (or cash contributions in lieu of such dedication) be reduced by an amount not to exceed 25% of the amount calculated under paragraph 2 above. H. The City, upon review, may determine that the developer shall create and maintain some form of on -site recreation use by the site residents particularly preschool children. This requirement may be in addition to the land or cash dedication requirement. 4. CASH DEDICATION If, at the option of the City, it is determined that a cash dedication shall be made, said cash shall be placed in a special fund for Parks Recreation use and deposited by the developer with the City prior to final plat approval. The City Council, upon review and recommendation of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission, shall annually determine by resolution the park cash dedication fee per residential unit. Said fee shall be determined by the average market value of undeveloped residential property by zoning classification, served by major City utilities, divided by the number of units per acre, which shall provide the equivalency of twelve acres per thousand population. Said cash dedication, effective January 1, 1987 shall be: HOUSING TYPE AVERAGE MARKET VALUE UNITS PER 100 POP. CASH EQ. Single family $11,000 per acre 28 $471.00 Duplex 13,000 per acre 35 445.00 Townhouse /quad. 15,000 per acre 47 382.00 Apts /multiple 17,000 per acre 52 392.00 Cash dedication shall be determined /computed at the rate in effect at the time of final plat. 5. INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS Subdividers and developers of commercial /industrial land, including commercial /industrial portions of Planned Developments, shall be required at the time the site plan is approved and building permits are issued to dedicate to the City for park, playground, and public open space purposes, an amount of land up to 7.5% of the net land area within the development as determined by the City. In those cases where the City does not require park or open space within such developments, the City shall require payment of fees in lieu of such land dedication in an amount equal to $.04 per square foot of net land area, or such amount as determined by the City Council. Cash shall be contributed at the time of approval of each final plat or at the time of site plan or building permit approval as determined by the City. The fee dedication requirement for all commercial /industrial plats which have received site plan approval prior to January 1, 1983, but have not been issued building permit approval, the City shall be in an amount equal to $.02 per sq. ft. of net land which shall be contributed at the time of building permit approval. A credit of up to 25% of the required dedication may be allowed by the City Council for on -site storm sewer, water, ponding and settling basins provided that such improvements benefit identifiable park and recreation water resources. The City Council, upon review and recommendation of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission, may annually review and determine by resolution an adjustment to the industrial /commercial fee based upon the City's estimate of the average value of undeveloped commercial /industrial land in the City. 6. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS Developers shall be responsible for making certain improvements to their developments for park, playground and public open space purposes as follows: A. Provide finished grading and ground cover for all park, playground, trail and public open spaces within their development as part of their development contract or site plan approval responsibilities. Landscape screening, shall be in accordance with City Policy. B. Complete, construct and pave all trails identified in the City's Trail Corridor Plan concurrently with the roads in their developments (i.e., grading with site grading and paving with street or parking lot paving.) No park dedication credit will be given for connecting these trails to existing or proposed trails identified in the City's Trail Corridor Plan. C. Establish park boundary corners for the purpose of erecting park limit signs. The developer shall contact the appropriate Parks Recreation Department personnel for the purpose of identifying park property corners. D. Provide sufficient public road access of no less than 300 ft for neighborhood parks, and additional frontage for community parks. AUTHORITY The State of Minnesota has recognized the importance of providing for parks and open -space in M.S.A. 462.358, subdivision 2 (b) which clearly gives the right to Cities in it's subdivisions regulations to require reasonable portions for public use. The City of Eagan has, by this dedication policy, chosen to excercise this right in establishing minimum requirements for meeting the public needs. 4 City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 Dear Sirs: September 28, 1986 On Sunday, September 21, 1986, the large holding pond in the northwest corner of Cinnamon Ridge in Eagan flooded. During the early morning hours on that date, the water overflowed a mud berm on the north side of the ponding area, crossed the powerline easement park in River Hills 9, flooded a three foot deep depression on the north side of the easement, and continued to flow through and flood the back yards of 2286 Clark St. (Dehkes), 2280 Clark (Robinson), 2274 Clark (Rossini), 2268 Clark (Baker), and 2262 Clark, et all. From this point the flow of flood waters reentered the easement park and continued down to another holding pond at Clark and Metcalf. The water in the above yards was over two feet deep, with current, and threatened the homes at the above addresses. Water was kept out of 2274 Clark only by the quick thinking of neighbors who aroused the occupants and helped barricade the sliding glass door. The water also overwhelmed the drain tile system at 2286 Clark, requiring residents to man a gasoline pump throughout the night and pur- chase and install an electric pump on Monday. Very little, if any, of the flooded pond water flowed through the drain at the bottom of the pond. City workers told the residents that the drain pipe was clogged with silt and mud, a regular occurance at this site. Nor were the flood waters flowing out of the pond through the swale, on the east side of the pond, which was built for this purpose. This swale now appears to be higher than the berm on the nother side, which means in the future, the overflow will spill into the yards and homes of River Hills 9 far more quickly. Even more serious is the fact that the berm, which is nothing more that approx- imately three feet of dirt bulldozed into a low spot on the north wall, was discovered to be leaking badly by midmorning on September 22. This was discovered by Ken Dehkes and reconfirmed by him, his wife Linda, and Paul and Mary Teske at various times throughout the day. The water was literally -going through the berm, not over or around, but through it, Should this berm give way completely, a very large quantity of water would be released, without warning, into River 2 Hills 9, imperiling many homes, their occupants, and whoever is in the vicinity. Children sleep and play on the lower levels of the homes, play in the yards, streets, and in the River Hills Park East, all of which would be in the path of the water. The city, its officials, and its employees have been repeatedly informed of this situation during the past week by residents of River Hills, and pumps which have dra_ned this pond in three days in the past, have also been requested but to no avail. As a consequence, the pond dropped only about two and a half feet over Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On Wednesday night a normal rain returned the water level in the ponding area to within a few inches of where it was when it overflowed into River Hills on Sunday. This flooded holding pond was supposed to be almost always dry and to be utilized as parkland. Instead, it is almost always flooded due to a drain system that does not and has never functioned in any manner the way in which it was supposed to. It has been under water so much that all the trees in or near it have drowned and been removed, and not even weeds can survive. It is a health and safety hazard and an eyesore. Besides the damage incurred this September, several years ago it flooded out the lower floors of three homes on Clark St. in River Hills, and now with its leaking berm is threatening the lives and property of many more River Hills 9 residents who live or play in the path of the flow of water should this berm give way completely. The residents of River Hills 9 and Cinnamon Ridge have made countless complaints to the city about this matter over the last three years, and we feel it is imperative that the situation be corrected immediately and permanently, and the promises made to the River Hills 9 residents by the city and the Council regarding the drainage of Cinnamon Ridge when the P.D. was passed be kept. Sincerely, A L2 "WE ARE MADE WISE NOT BY THE RECOLLECTIONS OF OUR PAST, BUT BY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR FUTURE" MEMO TO: THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: SEPTEMBER 22, 1986 RE: LONG RANGE PLANNING THE PLACE George Bernard Shaw The rapid pace of growth and the consequent rush of issues the City and Commission deals with often immerse us to the extent that our greatest daily accomplishment is dealing with today's problem, let alone planning for the future. Perhaps this is why the Parks System's Plan Study was such a rewarding experience. It was an exercise and an accomplishment in planning for the future, and not in resolving today's crises. With the theme of "Planning for the Future," staff would like to present for preliminary discussion and consideration, an opportunity to plan and meet future needs. THE OPPORTUNITY The creation of a "Cultural Center" on a large expanse of land, ideally suited for the advancement of the arts. A place where artisans, sculptor's, and painters can advance their own skill levels, while sharing their abilities for the enjoyment and the benefit of the community. A place where community and artisans can come together, to expand recreational and artistic pursuits. "The place" consists of approximately 30 acres of rolling hillside, south of Parick Eagan Park; currently, the home of Mr. Anthony Caponi. As most of you are aware, Mr. Caponi has developed his homesite with his works of art complete with trails, sculptures, and artistically maintained open space. Mr. Caponi has shared with City staff his desire that his property remain as such, and not have it succumb to the demands of residential development. To ensure that this happens, Mr. Caponi and staff have "brainstormed" various alternatives that would allow the site to eventually become a public park, to be designated as a Cultural Art Center. In the meantime it would provide the economics of a planned retirement devoted to the arts and enhancement of the site destined to be a public facility. HOW TO ACCOMPLISH Obviously, the first issue to be determined, is should the City have a Cultural Art Center? To help answer that question, the City must project itself into the future, when it has matured and reached a significantly larger and more mature populous, and the arts take a priority in a significant number of people's lives. The question will then become; will an opportunity exist? It is Staff's opinion that the opportunity for a center can be assured with some advanced planning and creative thinking, if we take action today. The creation of a foundation or other entity to assist with the cost of acquisition, development, or maintenance or any portion thereof, seems the potentially logical approach. Guided by the City, a foundation could be so structured to meet both the objectives of the City, and the long term objectives of Mr. Caponi. DISCUSSION Staff would like to present this "opportunity" for discussion to determine if the Commission and Council can support the concept of a Cultural Art Center, and the desire to preserve this opportunity today. If there is an agreement, staff will then proceed with further discussions with Mr. Caponi, (as well as an investigation of various alternatives to meet the objective of preservation) regarding acquisition costs, specifics of control, timing, etc. A report will then be prepared for action by the Commission /Council. FOR COMMISSION ACTION: To discuss the acquisition /preservation of the Caponi parcel for a future "Arts Center KV /bls F 3 MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION FROM: THOMAS A COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: OCTOBER 1, 1986 SUBJECT: STATUS OF WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN As a part of the approved 1986 budget, $45,000 have been allocated for the preparation of a Water Quality Management Plan to be prepared through the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department. The following is a listing of significant steps in the completion of this plan: 1. Perform wetland inventory. 2. Classify all identified wetlands. 3. Establish standards for each classification. 4. Sample existing water quality of representative wetlands. 5. Determine corrective /preservation needs. 6. Establish protective standards /requirements. 7. Establish a capital improvement program (CIP). 8. Determine method of financing. 9. Implement required improvement projects. 10. Periodically monitor representative wetlands. Items 1 -8 will be performed as a part of the preparation of the Water Quality Management Plan. Items 9 and 10 would result from the completion of this Management Plan and its subsequent implementation through City action. Presently, the City has contracted with the Dakota County Soil Water Conservation District to perform the wetland inventory (step 1). It is anticipated that the inventory of the approximate 300 wetlands and 20 lakes will be completed by early December 1986 at a cost of approximately $8,000. Attached to this memo is a sample of the data sheet identifying the various information being collected on each individual wetland. The next significant step will be to classify all identified wetlands into specific categories taking into consideration the variety of needs associated with wetlands (aesthetics, recreation, water treatment, etc.). It is anticipated that this classification system would compliment standard classification systems of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corp of Engineers (ACE) standard classifications to maintain uniformity in identification and standards. The City may end up with certain additional subclassifications to fit our particular needs. It is anticipated that considerable input will be solicited from the various commissions, committees, regulatory agencies and general public in the establishment of the final classification system. Once this classification system has been established, specific standards for each classification will have to be identified and approved. PAGE 2 During this process, samples of existing water quality will be obtained from the maximum number of representative wetlands. Once all this information is tabulated and compared to the standards, appropriate corrective and /or preservation needs will be determined with estimated costs. This report will also investigate the variety of methods available for financing various improvements to correct or preserve the water quality in those wetlands identified to be critical to the community. Based on estimated costs and priority requirements as determined by the City, a five -year capital improvement program (CIP) will be established to assist in the future budgetary allocation. This report will also identify protective standards and requirements of new development to minimize future corrective maintenance requirements to the identified protected wetlands. As requirements dictate and financing allows, public improvement contracts will be initiated and administered by the Public Works Department in accordance with the Water Quality Management Plan. It is anticipated that the City will maintain an ongoing water quality monitoring program to identify future CIP's and /or revisions to established CIP's. As can be seen from this general outline, this will be a lengthy and complex program undertaken by the City of Eagan. Subsequently, it is anticipated that the entire report will not be completed until late 1987. Recently, the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Organization has been established incorporating the majority of Eagan, along with small portions of Inver Grove Heights and Mendota Heights. Recent discussions by the WMO Board of Managers indicate a desire to incorporate the City's Water Quality Mangement Plan as a part of the WMO's Watershed Management Plan. It is anticipated that the Gun Club WMO Water Management Plan will be completed mid- summer of 1987. I appreciate your continued interest in the water quality regarding one of Eagan's greatest natural resources. I look forward to working with your Commission during the preparation of this Water Quality Management Plan in helping to make this community one of the best. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information or assistance as we proceed as outlined. Digector of Public Works TAC /jj cc: Thomas L. Hedges, City Administrator Enclosure A.

Unfortunately, far too frequently and in real life in Eagan, incidents occur each year in youth sports programs that could have been avoided if coaches had the real essense of why they are there. This is one of the reasons the department has investigated affiliation with the National Youth Sports Coaches Association for a coaches training program. The Eagan Athletic Association has also expressed an interest in coaches training. During the past several months, department staff has regularly attended E.A.A. Board Meeting. Coaches training has been discussed at each of these meetings, with the intent of the board to begin offering training for volunteer coaches. Eagan Athletic Association has identified the National Youth Sports Coaches Association as the agency with which to secure it's training materials. However, the limiting factor is: When, who, and how to offer this training program. As a way of background, the National Youth Sports Coaches Association and it's Coaches Training Program is a well defined curriculum developed over the last several years. It centers on three basic areas: The psychology of coaching youth and sports, maximizing performance, and first aid. The Association has developed three video tapes and corresponding materials; one for each training area. In addition, training tapes for specific sports are also available for training purposes. Tapes for baseball, basketball, football, soccer and hockey go into the techniques of coaching that particular sport, as well as warm up drills, stretching excercises, how to organize a practice etc. The coaches training sessions include small and large group discussions, in addition to reviewing the three basic video tapes previously mentioned. Discussion leaders /teachers are used to facilitate and augment the video tapes. Coaches attending the clinic sign a pledge, a copy of which is attached. 2 The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association (MRPA) has signed an agreement with the National Youth Sports Coaches Association (NYSCA). This agreement opens the door for municipal recreation departments to become "affiliate chapters Previously, a fee of $2,500 would have been required as a purchase price for the tapes, written materials, etc. With the MRPA being the coordinating, agency, affiliate chapter status by this department, means that these tapes and training materials are available free of charge. A requirement to be an affiliate chapter is that instructors be certified to teach the N.Y.S.C.A. materials. Recently, both Dorothy Peterson and Paula Sunder, have completed the teacher's training and certificate clinic, and are now recognized certified instructors. Consequently, the Eagan Parks and Recreation Department can become an affiliate chapter with MRPA at no cost. Training materials are available at no cost to the City. The only cost involved is that each coach that participates must pay a $15.00 fee to the National Youth Sports Coaches Association. ($1.00 of which is returned to the affiliate chapter). This $15.00 fee covers any written material, etc. and also includes a $300,000 liability insurance coverage under a master contract with National Youth Sports Coaches Association (NYSCA). Staff Recommendation Staff is recommending that the Advisory Commission approve Parks and Recreation Department becoming an affiliate chapter of the NYSCA, through the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association. (2) Second, the services of Dorothy Peterson and Paula Sunder be made available to the various youth and athletic associations, including E.A.A., R.A.A.A., Mend Eagan, Eagan Hockey Association, etc. as a service to the community. (Staff notes that it is a growing trend among Municipalities, and Parks and Recreation Departments to insist upon some type of training before coaches are allowed to coach a youth team. In some areas of the country, where the N.Y.S.C.A. training program has become well established, communities are even requiring coaches to become certified before City facilities are made available for their use.)

N11 ICrrtifira Concli MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: OCTOBER 2, 1986 RE: 1987 PROJECT LIST G 2 In order that the department can carry out the 1987 Parks Construction Program, early planning and pre- design work must be coordinated this fall. Therefore, Commission and Staff will have to identify "planned project" for 1987, in order that any predesigned and field work can be completed over the next two months. Staff has prepared as complete a list as possible of all possible projects for consideration. This project list is by category for each park to be considered within that particular category. PARK DESIGN 1. O'Leary 2. Vienna Woods 3. Patrick Eagan 4. Thomas Lake 5. Westcott Station 6. Winkler Jackson 7. Carnelian 8. Bur Oaks (North) 9. Walden Heights 10.

Blue Cross /Blue Shield 2. Quarry 3. Meadowlands 4. Cedar Pond 5. Trapp Farm Park 6. Carnelian 7. Bur Oaks 8. Fish IRRIGATION 1. Northview Softball 2. Northview Soccer 3. Goat Hill ADDITIONAL WORK In addition to the above projects, additional design work would be involved with the preparation of planting plans for all the 1986 projects, and second phase plans for such parks as Trapp Farm. Other landscaping and planting plans would be included with the Public Works building, Cinnamon and Bur Oaks parks. Design and construction work for Blue Cross /Blue Shield observation deck, Meadowlands Park deck and a hardcourt surfacing contract for various parks throughout the parks system. Other staff related work would include possible contracts for construction of replacement buildings, which are currently under study. Commission should also consider for direction to staff, emphasis for a building at Blue Cross /Blue Shield and Quarry parks. STAFF COMMENTS It would be physically impossible for the staff to accomplish all of the above projects, and therefore, the Commission could lend discussion and direction to staff concerning those which it really hopes to complete in 1987. Obviously, Thomas Lake Park, as part of the LAWCON /LCMR Grants Program, must receive high priority and therefore, considered as a 1987 project. Hockey rink construction at Quarry Park, Blue Cross /Blue Shield, Pilot Knob, and Carnelian, as well as the lighting contract for Quarry and Blue Cross /Blue Shield parks, also seem equally important. Northview Park Road is being proposed for construction in 1987, by the Public Works Department. Consequently, installation of the irrigation system, with completion of summer -play next year, gives this project serious consideration. FOR COMMISSION ACTION The Commission and staff to define it's 1987 Work Program for parks development and construction. KV /bls September 16, 1986 Honorable Bea Bloomquist Mayor of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knot Road Eagan, MN 55122 RE: Rezoning and Preliminary Plat of Brittany Tenth Addition Dear Mayor Bloomquist: At the last Planning Commission meeting, it was decided by the chair that a neighborhood meeting be held between Sienna Corporation and the residents of the surrounding areas to the above referenced property. As of this writing, no such meeting has been scheduled or held as promised by Sienna Corporation. In deference to the fact that another Planning Commission meeting is scheduled, we would like to present the following as some of the needs of the Beacon Hill residents. Leave a 150 to 200 foot natural buffer between Beacon Hill and the proposed development. It would run from Cliff Road to the north and extend to Brittany 7th, 8th, and 9th additions to the south. Within this buffer, the residents would like a paved bicycle trail. This would connect the existing bicycle trail on Thomas Lake Road (north of Cliff Road) and continue through the new buffer area east of Beacon Hill. It then would become a bicycle "route" (shared right of way with motor vehicles [taken from City of Eagan bicycle trails brochure]) for a number of blocks through the existing Brittany developments until it again joins the existing bicycle trail on Johnny Cake Ridge Road. This can be followed to the Minnesota Zoo and beyond. To prevent a very congested road and a hazard to area children, Covington Lane should remain terminated at its present location on the east end of the Beacon Hill area. This point could serve as an access to the new bicycle trail by way of a small paved trail abutting the two. 1 1 These proposals would accomplish much toward keeping Eagan a beautiful, safe place to live. The proposals are realistic in that they allow residential development to occur while at the same time an effort is made to preserve a portion of the natural habitat. The proposed bicycle trail (when combined with the Covington Lane proposal) would be a scenic, recreational addition to our city which all residents could enjoy for years to come. Mayor Bloomquist Page 2 September 16, 1986 With a plan such as this, it will be difficult for future generations of Eagan to accuse us of shortsightedness. We are all very dissappointed that Sienna Corporation has not taken the directive by the Planning Commission to set up a neighborhood meeting.as precedent has been set for such a meeting. We all find it quite distressing that builders encouraged by the City of Eagan and the City itself are not more receptive to the needs of its residents. After all, without residents, there would be no funding for the City. We would appreciate your giving this matter your urgent attention. Any further questions or concerns, please contact me.
