MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA
DATE: DECEMBER 1, 1986
SUBJECT: DECEMBER 4 COMMISSION MEETING
As a reminder, the Commission will be meeting at Trapp Farm Park
shelter rather than at the Eagan Municipal Center.
After the approval of the agenda and minutes of the meeting of
November 6, 1986, the first items to be reviewed are the various
development proposal before the Advisory Commission.
I. Diffley Center Addition
The proposed shopping center of approximately 91 acres at the
intersection of 35E and Diffley Road. The proposed shopping center
complex consists of 735,000 square feet which would include a Target
store and a Northwest Swim and Raquet Club as first phase
development. Also planned in the first phase, as it relates to
parks, the developer is proposing to provide a public recreation
area of. approximately 8.4 acres. The developer has indicated that
this public use area would be provided to the City
"in addition to the normal parks dedication requirement." Further,
it was indicated the developer will allow the City two years to
review this to determine if it wished to make use of this public use
area before final acceptance. The developer has suggested that this
might be suitable for a community center /ice arena in that overflow
parking could be accomplished on any of the adjacent commercial
areas. However, the parcel could be used for any public recreation
purpose.
The Advisory Planning Commission reviewed this item on Tuesday,
November 25 deferring action until their January commission meeting.
II. Lone Oak Second Addition
Lone Oak Second Addition is a proposed Northwest Aerospace Training
facility. As with all items, the Planning Department's packet is
included concerning this item. Staff is recommending a cash
dedication requirement for this addition.
III. Both the Manor Lake Addition and Stafford Place Additions have
been reviewed by the Planning Commission on its November 25 meeting
and have been continued at the request of the developers. There is
no action necessary on behalf of the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission on these two items.
IV. Staff has received the submissions for the Eagan joint
venture /Chuck Hall property which proposes dedication of specific
parkland parcels. Staff will be meeting with the developer on
Monday, December 1 to review these submissions. This item has been
placed on the commission agenda for informal review by the Advisory
Commission. Because of the size of this PUD, the Advisory
Commission may wish to again reactivate the development committee to
work with staff in review of this proposed parkland dedication.
OLD BUSINESS
I. There are three items under Old Business. Item 1 is a review of
the City Code. Enclosed are member's comments which have been
retyped.
II. Director of Public Works Tom Colbert will be present at the
Commission meeting to review storm sewer plannings as it impacts
parks. Director of Parks and Recreation and Landscape
Architect /Parks Planner met with Mr. Colbert to generally review
some of the concerns of the Advisory Commission which Mr. Colbert
will address on Thursday.
III. The final item under Old Business is the Park Naming Committee
which should be called together to begin developing official name
suggestions for several existing parks.
NEW BUSINESS
I. Staff is expecting reductions of the Comprehensive Trails Plan
to be reviewed by the Commission. If received by the Commission
meeting, this item will be placed on the agenda. Staff has
incorporated the suggestions for revisions made at the last
commission meeting and expect this trails plan to resent the most
up -to -date plan of existing and proposed future trails. This trails
plan should be received and approved for inclusion into the parks
systems plan.
II. DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE Intern Julie Lenkowski will present the
report on the demographic profile by parks service areas and service
districts. Julie has spent a considerable amount of time in
reviewing 1980 and 1985 census data in developing this demographic
profile. Members will note that is it very similar to the parks
systems plan as prepared in 1982. With approval of the commission,
this section will then be reproduced and submitted as part of the
updating of the parks systems plan.
III. The third item under New Business is the Parks Systems Plan
updating. The Commission has annually reviewed the parks systems
plan for the purposes of updating those sections which are in need
of review. With the work by Julie Lenkowski and the review of the
trails plan, these two sections are among will be current. Further,
the City has already undertaken the study of its Water Management
Plan and staff does not feel it's necessary to update the Pond and
Lakes section. Members may wish to review other sections for
updating. Staff will be reviewing and updating the Inventory and
Analysis section.
IV. Recreation Supervisor Dorothy Peterson and Paula Sunder will
provide a brief report on the winter programs and activities planned
during the winter season. Both staff members have been extremely
busy with these planning activities as well as other
responsibilities associated with their positions.
V. At the time of this writing, the video presentation of the Parks
and Recreation Department is in the final stages of editing. A copy
of the video presentation will be available for play at this
commission meeting.
PARRS DEVELOPMENT
Under parks development, staff will provide you with an update and
status report on the current activities for parks development.
Generally speaking, the early snowfalls in November seriously
disrupted the completion of the park grading contract and its
punchlist items. Work is continuing, however, on the park shelter
facilities.
OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS
Two items under other business and reports include the community
center study which is set for January 10. Staff has been in contact
with representatives from the cities of Eden Prairie, St. Louis Park
and Brooklyn Center who have agreed to provide tours of their
facilities on Saturday, January 10. A time frame and committment
should be firmed up, so final arrangements can be made with these
communities.
Enclosed for your review is a report from Park Superintendent John
VonDelinde to the Director of Parks and Recreation concerning
revisions to scheduled maintenance for winter facilities. This
proposed maintenance program takes into consideration the variables
of staffing as a result of snowfalls and the priority system for
classifications of rinks.
If there are no other business items, a Roundtable discussion by the
Commission of will be in order followed by Adjournment.
Respectfully submitted,
Ken Vraa
Director of Parks and Recreation

ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION
EAGAN, MINNESOTA
NOVEMBER 6, 1986
Chairman Martin asked to have added to the agenda the setting of a date to
visit the parcels being proposed for development by Mr. Hall and Sienna
Corporation. Director of Parks and Recreation Vraa, asked that under "New
Business Item #5 Trails, be added. There being no further additions, a

MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 2, 1986
Commission Bertz moved, seconded by Kubik, with all members voting in favor
that the minutes of October 2, 1986, be approved as presented.
In the minutes of the Special Meeting, October 6th, member Carroll corrected
the Waldron spelling. A motion by Carroll, seconded by Kubik, with all
members in favor, minutes of October 6th as amended, were approved.
Chairman Martin noted that Planner Jim Sturm was not present at this time, and
moved that the Commission discuss Item #1 under "New Business Eagan Hockey
petition.
COMMUNITY CENTER PETITION
Mr. Robert Smith, President of the Eagan Hockey Boosters, presented a petition
representing approximately 250 signatures of Eagan residents. Mr. Smith
said, the petition was collected to show the City Council and Advisory
Commission the interest within the City for developing a Community Center. He
went on to state that the petitioners felt that the City of Eagan needed a
Community Center to service existing needs of the City, and as the City
continues to grow, these needs will only expand. He indicated that many
residents were tired of travelling to Burnsville and Rosemount to make use of
facilities. He indicated that nearly $13,000 of ice time was purchased from
other arenas, as skaters must go to other communities to skate or swim. He
stated that the names on the petition represented mostly those interested in
hockey and swimming.
Roger Martin then explained to Mr. Smith the existing information concerning a
community center and the recent Commission formation of a Study Committee.
Mr. Smith, in response to a question, stated that he felt that School District
#196, identified primarily with Rosemount, and not Eagan, was a major factor
for people gravitating towards Rosemount in the use of their facilities. He
felt that Eagan needs a recreational hub, and a community center would fulfill
that need. Chairman Martin questioned if the petition represented the
interest of the general population or if it was strictly "hockey interests
Mr. Smith responded, that he felt the petition represented Eagan Hockey Club,
but also included others interested in swimming and a community center in
general. Mr. Martin said, that he felt the petition was a good inventory
tool, and felt there were other recreation and social concerns for a community
center, which the City must study. After additional discussion, and a motion
by Kubik, seconded by Carroll, with all in favor, that the petition be
accepted from the Hockey Association, noting that the City Council has
directed the Commission to prepare a first phase study.
STORM SEWER STUDY
Adv. Parks Rec. Comm.
November 6, 1986
Chairman Martin noted that this item was deferred to December, as a result of
Mr. Colbert's required attendance at the City Council meeting, which was held
simultaneously in the Council Chambers.
CITY CODE REVIEW
Roger Martin explained, that each individual has a responsibility to review
those sections of the City Code pertaining to parks. He then inquired as to
where the "Parks Dedication" is in the City Code? Director Vraa replied,
that within the zoning section, references are made to the requirement and
certain dedications for parks purposes, which are then spelled out by the City
policy. Commission member Thurston questioned whether the Commission will be
made aware of any City code changes and updates, as well as revisions.
Director Vraa responded that, as the City code book is updated, the revised
pages would be sent to the Commission members.
After additional discussion, Chairman Martin suggested that the Commission
submit their reviews in writing to the Director of Parks and Recreation
regarding issues pertaining to parks in anticipation of next month's meeting.
Such memorandums could then be compiled and sent to the Commission with the
packet. November 24th was established as the deadline date to have these into
the Director's office.
COMMUNITY CENTER STUDY
The Director of Parks and Recreation presented a list of existing facilities
to the Commission for further review and refinement, as potential facilities
to visit. He indicated the Commission should consider dates for visits,
which facilities to visit, and add any other facilities not mentioned. Jo
Anne Alt questioned, what the difference was between a first and second
generation ice arena, which the Director responded to. George Kubik
questioned what the Staff's top five facility prorities were? The response
was: St. Louis Park, Brooklyn Center, and Eden Prairie, as being three of
the top possibilities on the list. Bogert Martin said, he wished to go to the
three sites, as mentioned. Sandy Bertz concurred saying, she felt these three
facilities were very important to visit. After additional discussion, the
Commission decided on the second Saturday in January (January 10th), in which
to make visits to the sites. Director of Parks and Recreation was requested
to mail out questionnaires to these community centers and set up meeting
times.

SNOWMOBILE TRAIL USE REQUEST
Director of Parks and Recreation, Ken Vraa, presented the request from the
Eagan Snowmobile Club as requested by Mr. Maynard Ohm. He stated that this
was a request for a fourth or fifth season. Chairman Martin questioned if
there had been any problems in the past year. The Director responded that,
the only problem was that the people do not stay on the designated trails, and
go on to parks, specifically Walnut Hill, Trapp Farm, and Rahn school sites.
Martin asked if the Snowmobile Club could do an additional job of policing,
would the use continue? Sandy Masin questioned, if it was possible to find
out if the snowmobile abusers are within the Snowmobile Club. Jo Anne Alt
commented that most of the use was along the Highline Trail, in which more and
more homes were being built adjacent to it. She indicated that snowmobiles
along the trails do not mix well with residential development. Roger Martin
concurred that more and more people are living along the Highline Trails, and
if the snowmobiles are abusive they do not work together. After additional
discussion concerning various problems, on a motion by Kubik, seconded by
Martin, with eight members voting in favor, and one "no" vote, the Commission
recommended to the City Council approvals to use Highline Trail Corridor and
Johnny Cake Ridge Road as corridor for access to the Dakota County Trail
System as in previous years. The Commission further went on the record to
express concern with problems, which occur in other areas and asked the
Snowmobile Club and Police Department to continue monitoring these issues.
PARK NAMING COMMITTEE
Commission member Carroll suggested that this item be deferred until the
December meeting, in order that he may obtain some historical data regarding
individual sites to be considered for official naming.
FIRST DRAFT DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY
Julie Lencowski, Student Intern from The University of Minnesota, indicated
that her project for the department was to update the demographic information
as contained in the Parks Systems Planned Study. Julie went on to indicate
that she had completed her review of all housing data through August of 1985,
which computed into a population of approximately 31,000 people. Continued
review of the building permits from September of 1985 through 1986, indicated
that the population is 40,000, excluding vacancy rates, which represents about
10 Julie indicated that the continuation of the study would break down the
population within park service areas, for review at the December meeting.
Commission member Alt questioned "What is the child to the adult ratio
Julie indicated that the study was utilizing demographic figures provided by
School District #196. She decided that there were approximately 3.34
individuals per single family household. Porter indicated that District #196
keeps records of all children from birth dates. It was suggested that the

demographer be contacted from the school district. Julie responded that, the
City and the School District use different formats, as did the 1985 census,
consequently it was very difficult to have the various boundaries match in
order to ensure figures are accurate. She further went on to indicate that
the City staff had contacted the school district to receive some assistance.
After further questioning and discussion, Julie indicated that she hoped to
have the complete report and the updated parks system pages at the December
Commission meeting.
PATRICK EAGAN PARK /LILLIAN MCCARTHY PARCEL
Director of Parks and Recreation explaimed the past acquisition of Patrick
Eagan Park, from Joe and Lillian McCarthy. He asked if the City wished to
purchase, what is now the homesite of Lillian McCarthy, adjacent to Lexington
Avenue and represents 3.8 acres. He indicated that the parcel was not
presently being offered for sale. However, a family member did wish to see if
the City still had an interest in the property. Carolyn Thurston inquired as
to what the cost of the parcel was. The director responded that, an appraisal
of the property was done in 1985, which concluded that the house and parcel
was worth approximately $96,000. Chairman Martin responded that he has always
been disappointed with the frontage along Lexington Avenue for Patrick Eagan
Park, noting that the small road access virtually hides the park from users.
Several Commission members spoke in support of necessity of acquiring this
parcel for various reasons, including frontage, road access to the park, etc.
On a motion by Kubik, seconded by Thurston, Staff was to continue to review
purchasing of the property, as well as utilization of the house, should the
property be placed on the market, or be offered to the City. Motion carried.
Director of Parks and Recreation and the Staff has been working to update the
Trails Map, for several months. He stated that he had just received the
latest update from Tim Erkkila, who wished to give a first review with the
Advisory Commission. He stressed the large amount of trails construction
since the last update in the Comprehensive Trails Plan. He indicated that
changes were made, with the trail along the right -of -way on Northview Park
Road, south to Diffley. The second change was extended to the trail along
Thomas Lake Road Extension, to the south of Deerwood; with the need to add
Coachman Road Trail, as directed by the Commission previously. Dick Carroll
commented that there was need to add the trail beneath the northern state's
power easement (north /south) as a none-right-of-way trail. Commission
members commented on other trail sections. The Director responded that at the
December meeting, there will be a reduction for Commission members for final
review and approval. Commission member Carroll sited the C -1 Classification
for the south side of the east /west trail along Cliff Road, noting the high
traffic use on this County Road. He suggested that the City continue to
indicate this as future off -road trailway.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
Chairman Martin noted that Jim Sturm was now available, and the Commission
could review the development reports. Jim Sturm first presented a brief
overview of the proposal by Molenaro and Associates entitled "Pond View
Mr. Sturm then explained Stafford Place, a proposed single family home
development of approximately 200 lots, of which 114 did not meet current City
Code. He also indicated that the City Engineering Department felt a
north /south collector's street was necessary, and may well be placed through
this development. He further indicated that he expects some changes in the
plat, as a result of the non conformance of the zoning ordinance and the
collector street issue. Also, he noted that there should be trails along the
north /south road, trail access to the school site and along Diffley Road.
Chairman Martin asked if Staff had contacted the school district to see if the
trail is wanted. There was much discussion by the Advisory Commission
concerning this plat. The Commission was in agreement that a trailway on
Cliff Road, and along the north /south street as shown, should be required. A
cash dedication would also be a requirement. After further discussion, and
noting that the plat may be changed, the Commission determined that it would
withhold it's final recommendation concerning the plat, until these revisions
had been completed. Carolyn Thurston, noting that the issues of trails were
such a concern with the Hampton Heights development; and this is the same
developer; the Commission should go on record that no lot should be sold until
the exact trail locations are determined. Upon a motion by Thurston,
seconded by Carroll, with all Commission members in favor, it was moved that
the Commission go on record that the pre selling of lots should not occur
until all trail locations are determined, with a development agreement
prepared.
MANOR LASE ADDITION
Planner Jim Sturm reviewed the proposed plat entitled "Manor Lake" indicating
that Outlot C, was designated as commercial use. He stated that the Planning
Commission continue this item, because the plat had failed to recognize uses
to the south, and the contingency plan for 0utlot C should rezoning to
commercial not be granted.
Parks Planner, Stephen Sullivan, reviewed an analysis over the area proposed
for parkland dedication. He indicated that the topography was relatively
flat and represented the best area within the forty -three (43) acre parcel.
The area was basically pasture, without any significant vegetation, with good
visual orientation to the pond to the west. He stated that the parcel was
relatively small and much tighter than the typical parks being done, and much
closer in proximity to proposed homes. After further review by the Landscape
Architect, the Commission questioned the size of the park parcel, in relation
to the plat. Members noted that the size of the dedication appears to be less
than that which would be required from the 10% dedication policy. Members
were also concerned relative to the small size of lake access. Most

Commission members agreed that the general location shown was appropriate for
the park. Members questioned access to the park via the proposed cul -de -sac,
and the limited road frontage for access to the park from this development.
There continued considerable discussion regarding the size of the park and the
park access, as well trails connection to the west. Director Vraa responded
that Staff had prepared a scheme which removed the cul -de -sac and would
provide a curvilinear roadway. Commission members were in agreement with this
layout, indicating the preference spot of road access, and visual connection
to the park. After additional discussion, a motion by Carroll, seconded by
Porter, with all members voting in favor, the Commission went on record as
indicating that they favored the layout on sheet #4, with the additional road
frontage, increase in parkland closer to the representation of the plat, and
future expansion possibilities. Further, that the City receive dedication for
platted outlots at this time, that a trail access to the west, within the
proposed roadway shown in Outlot A, be provided, that south property
acquisition provide for an open play space, and that the City recognize the
unusual situation, in which the City does not typically have a neighborhood
park under ten (10) acres and the necessity of providing for a smaller,
atypical neighborhood park, as a result of roads isolating this neighborhood.
Landscape Architect /Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan updated the Advisory
Commission on the status of parks development, indicating that most of the
work that is outstanding could be completed within two weeks, given favorable
weather conditions. He stated that the building contractor is proceeding'
well, but still very much behind schedule.
Director of Parks and Recreation reviewed the cost estimate for the warming
houses and the sun shelter at $32,340. and $10,250. respectively. He stated
that in the case of the sun shelters, and if City forces were used a
savings of $5,100 could be made. A savings of approximately $8,000 might be
made from the warming house construction. He stated that the issue for the
Commission was, if they desired to move ahead more quickly, the buildings
should be constructed as part of a contract. If, however, the Commission felt
that a slower approach could be used, City forces could build the shelters.
In response to one question, the Director, responded that bid specifications
for these buildings be done by staff, because of the similarity of
construction techniques with current construction program and the simplicity
of design. Chairman Martin was concerned about the number of windows shown.
Member Caponi questioned how these facilities would be situated on the site
and their orientation. Director Vraa responded, that the number and location
of windows can be expanded quite easily. The design shown was a generic
approach. Further, that the exact building location and orientation would be
dependent upon the park. It would also have an impact on the location of
doors and windows. After further discussion, and response to a question, the
Director responded that he would recommend that the City forces build the sun
shelters, in hopes of constructing between one and three in 1987. Further,
that the warming house shelter be part of a building contract, that might go
with Blue Cross /Blue Shield and Quarry Park. The first priority would be for
Carnelian Park, which is slated for refurbishment in 1987. After additional
discussion and a motion by Kubik, seconded by Masin, with all members voting
in favor, the Staff recommendation included the warming house building
contract, with City forces to complete the sun shelters be approved.
LAND ACQUISITION
Director of Parks and Recreation told the Advisory Commission that all
acquisitions have now been completed for the Curry /Ohmann and Church parcel.
Director indicated that the Derrick Land Company had not as yet closed on the
parcels creating the Fairway Hills Addition, because of an apparent lack of
funding. Commission member Thurston questioned, if this might not open the
door for additional acquisition as the next athletic site. Commission
discussed this possibility, and a motion by Thurston, seconded by Bertz, Staff
was directed to review the possibility for additional acreage acquisition,
within the Ohmann Estate for the next athletic site. Commission member Kubik
moved, seconded by Carroll, that the Commission send a letter to Mr. Jim Curry
thanking him for his cooperation with the City in securing his land for an
addition to Northview Park. All members were in favor.
BOND FUND SUMMARY
Director of Parks and Recreation then reviewed a bond fund summary, prepared
by the development, indicating that it was a status report on the expenditures
to date. He reviewed the various figures, indicating that they were very
preliminary, due to the work in process and still unknown certainties
associated with parks yet to be developed. He stated that the bottom line was
that the bond fund was very much on target. In response to a question from
member Alt, the Director explained the transfer of $100,000 for the buildings
from the parksite fund. He stated that this was at the direction of the
Advisory Commission at the time the Commission was reviewing costs for these
facilities.

Director Vraa stated that he had received communications from State Senators
Durenburger and Boschwitz concerning the City LAWCON application, as well as
local Representatives. He felt that the funding for LAWCON /LCMR funds would
be appropriated and that the grant for Thomas Lake Park would be approved.

Maintenance Report
Chairman Martin said that he appreciated the Maintenance Report, noting the
amount of work that the maintenance staff had accomplished.
Caponi Parcel -Site Visit
Members discussed the pending visit to Caponi parcel for reviewal of the
Community Art Center. Martin indicated that he would also like to review the
parcel being proposed for development by Mr. Hall and Sienna Corporation.
After discussion, the Commission agreed to view the sites beginning on
Saturday, at 9:00 A.M. commencing at City Hall.
Northview Park Road
Director of Parks and Recreation stated, that the Northview Park Road, as a
result of the Lexington Park Square development would be upgraded in order for
construction to begin next year. Construction will be in phases to
accommodate access to the park, and there will be storm water improvement
plans. Members expressed interest in these storm water plans and a desire to
review such plans prior to public hearings.
Winter Rinks Priority
Staff had prepared a maintenance and priority program for winter rinks.
Director reviewed these plans as consistent with previous Commission
direction. It was noted that this year's program should improve, as a result
of the Street Department requiring less parks maintenance men to help plow
streets in snow emergencies.
Director responded that Staff has been researching the various carpeting and
furniture available for installation at Trapp Farm Park and Goat Hill.
However, he stated that none of this was approved in the parks bond fund and
it would be appropriate for the Commission to now approve the staff purchasing
of these items. A motion by Kubik, seconded by Caponi, with all members in
favor, Staff was authorized to proceed with the purchase of carpeting and
furniture for the two buildings, as discussed.
Adv. Parks Rec. Comm.

Softball Fees"
Director of Parks and Recreation stated that the League Leadership Committee
for the Softball Organization's have recommended that a $25.00 "new team
initiation" fee be applied. The new team fee would then be deposited for use
at Northview Park or other athletic facilities.. A motion by Bertz, seconded
by Caponi, with all in favor, Staff was authorized to charge an initiation fee
of $25.00 fee for new teams in the adult softball leagues.
Rahn Roof
Director Vraa updated the Advisory Commission on the Rahn roof status,
indicating that a cost of $30,000 for the construction of a false roof was
received. Staff is now proceeding with repair work under a proposal form,
rather than the more expensive roof design.
Waldron Parcel
Director Vraa stated that he has received a copy of the certificate of title
for the Kathy Waldron parcel, indicating it's size. Commission has already
recommended acquistion of the parcel, but an offer price has not been
determined. Staff recommended a price of $45,000 plus assessments. All
members in favor.
December Meeting
Commission member Alt suggested that the December meeting be held at Trapp
Farm Park. She suggested that this could be the Christmas party for the
Commission.

Some provision should be provided to exempt park property designated by the
Director of Parks and Recreation as undeveloped National Parkland from
conforming to this ordinance.

The last sentence of this part of the ordinance about crossing a street at an
angle of ninety (90) degrees is vague and ambiguous about the place to cross.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: .PRELIMINARY PLAT (LONE OAK 2ND ADDITION)
APPLICANT: NORTHWEST AIRLINES
LOCATION: OUTLOT "M" LONE OAK ADDITION
EXISTING ZONING: P.D. (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: NOVEMBER 25, 1986
DATE OF REPORT: NOVEMBER 17, 1986
REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING
APPLICATION: An applibation has been submitted by Northwest
Airlines requesting a Preliminary Plat for the Lone Oak 2nd Addition.
This plat, on Outlot M of the 1st Addition, consists of 1 lot and A
2 outlots, totaling 82.3 acres. Lot 1 will be the 103,668
Sq. ft. Northwest Aerospace Training Facility. The Lone Oak
P.D. was approved in March 1984. Outlot M was designated for
Northwest Airlines' future development, therefore, the use is
consistent with the P.D. exhibit.
COMMENTS: The site plan for this project was reviewed in detail
prior to the issuance of a .grading permit in October 1986. All
Code requirements had been satisfied. At that time, the entire,
82.3 acre. parcel was to be platted into a single lot. Since
then, the applicant has chosen to plat only the area needed for
the Aerospace building and leave the remaining area as outlots.
Outlot A, 15.15 acres, .will •basically provide access from the
west. Outlot B, 26.74 acres, abuts O'Neill Drive to the north
and. will be capable of accommodating another significant building.
The Aerospace Facility and parking setbacks still meet Code require-
ments as the site plan itself has not been changed. 341 parking
stalls will be provided in 2. separate lots. 553 parking spaces
would .be necessary in strict office designated areas.. Since
this Aerospace building is a' 24 hour facility and for a specific
user group, the parking appears sufficient. Parking and building
expansion areas have been provided, both meeting Code requirements.
GRADING /DRAINAGE: The required site grading for Lot 1, Block 1, of
the Lone Oak 2nd Addition is proposed to be constructed in two
phases. The first phase has already begun under the authority of
Grading Permit #EX 01 -216, issued by Council action on October 7,
1986. Because the second phase involves encroachment into Eagan
Pond FP -4 (DNR Wetland #250W), a DNR permit will be required before
this second phase can be initiated.
Generally, all drainage generated from this facility will be
directed into this large wetland, with the exception of the extreme
southeast corner, which will be directed into a newly created
LONE OAK 2ND ADDITION
NOVEMBER 25, 1986

ponding area. Pond FP -4 is presently receiving runoff from Ponds
FP -5 and 11, with no downstream outlet currently available. Figure
1 shows the relationship of this property to the existing and
proposed future storm water system requirements. The outlet for
Pond FP -4 will be southwesterly to Pond FP -7, which has a positive
outlet down to the Minnesota River.
Extensive erosion control measures will have to be established to
minimize the impact into these City and DNR protected wetlands as
well as adjacent private property. The grading plan previously
submitted and approved shows no slope steeper than 3:1 and no
encroachment on private property.
However, the proposed grading plan does encroach into the required
storm water storage capacity as identified on the City's
Comprehensive Master Plan. Either this Master Plan or the proposed
grading plan will have to be revised to provide the required storage
volume for storm water runoff in this portion of District "F
UTILITIES: Neither sanitary sewer nor water main facilities are
immediately available to allow the development of this facility.
An internal lateral sanitary sewer presently exists within the
boundaries of Lot 1, Block 1, of this proposed development.
However, this sanitary sewer does not connect to downstream
facilities and was constructed prematurely as a part of the 1st
Addition grading and development schedule.' Therefore, it will be
necessary to extend this existing sanitary sewer lateral
southwesterly to the future Lone Oak Drive thence westerly to the
existing trunk facility adjacent to T.H. 55/149 intersection. In
addition, an 8" sanitary lateral will have to be constructed to the
northwest corner of Lot 1, Block 1, to provide future service for
unplatted parcel 010 -29, located south of O'Neill Drive and north of
the existing Northwest Airlines Corporate Headquarters. Figure 2
shows the relationship of the existing and required trunk sanitary
sewer facilities.
The completion of the trunk water main system, in accordance with
the City's Master Plan for this area, eventually requires the looped
connection from Lone Oak Road up to O'Neill Drive through this
proposed development. Figure 3 shows the relationship and proposed
trunk water main necessary to service the ultimate development in
this section of the City. As a result of a detailed analysis
evaluating elevations and required fire flows, the northerly portion
of the 12" water main will have to be installed along O'Neill Drive
to this development with an 8" connection to the existing loop
around the N.W. Airline Corporate Headquarters to the west. The
completion of this 12" trunk water main loop to Lone Oak Road will
not be necessary until that property develops. The alignment of this
southwesterly extension to Lone Oak Road is dependent upon a
conceptual layout of the future development south of this proposed
Lone Oakr2nd Addition.
LONE OAK 2ND ADDITION
NOVEMBER 25, 1986
PAGE THREE
In order to provide sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer facilities
to allow the development of this proposal, it will require the
developer's financial commitment or authorization by Council action
for the installation of these trunk facilities through adjacent
property. Internal lateral utilities, whether installed privately
or under a City contract, must be in conformance with City approved
engineering standards and specifications.
STREETS /ACCESS /CIRCULATION: Access to Lot 1, Block 1, will be
obtained through the construction of an internal private street
constructed to City standards from O'Neill Drive along the
northwesterly edge of the Lone Oak 2nd Addition. A secondary access
to the Northwest Airlines Corporate Headquarter parking lot will be
provided to the west. However, the final street configuration is
dependent upon the approval of the Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) due to the fill required within or adjacent to DNR Protected
Wetland #250W.
With O'Neill Drive being the only primary access to this facility,
it will be necessary to complete the upgrading of this street. 4
Presently, the easterly access to Delaware Avenue in Mendota Heights
and the westerly access to T.H. 149 have been completed as a part of
the upgrading of I -494. The completion of the middle section of
O'Neill Drive to City standards should be ordered by Council action
prior to final plat approval.
EASEMENTS /RIGHTS OF WAY /PERMITS: Due to the requirements of
extending trunk sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer facilities
and improving O'Neill Drive to City standards impacting properties
adjacent to and beyond this development to provide service to this
proposed facility, it will be necessary to ensure that all permanent
and temporary construction easements will be made available prior to
construction initiation. Therefore, it will be necessary to have
this development responsible for the acquisition of all required
easements or a financial escrow to cover all anticipated costs
associated with acquisition through adverse condemnation.
It will be necessary to acquire all Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) permits prior to final plat approval. The acquisition of the
required Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Metropolitan
Waste Water Control Commission (MWCC) and Department of Health sewer
and water extension permits will be required prior to the issuance
of a utility construction permit. An MPCA Indirect Source Permit
will also be required prior to final plat approval.
Ponding easements of sufficient configuration shall be dedicated as
required by City staff to incorporate the necessary storm water
storage volumes for Ponds FP -4, 41 and 11 and shall be shown on the
final plat.
All internal public utilities shall have permanent utility easements
dedicated of sufficient width depending upon the final alignment and
depth.

ASSESSMENTS: Trunk area sanitary sewer has been previously assessed
over all portions proposed to be included in the Lone Oak 2nd
Addition. No further assessments are associated with trunk area
sanitary sewer.
Trunk area storm sewer was assessed over that portion lying within
the west half of Section 1 (Outlot A). Lot 1, Block 1, and Outlot B
have not yet been assessed for trunk area storm sewer improvements.
With the required trunk area storm sewer facilities necessary to
service this deveelopment, it will be required to have this
development agree to those trunk area assessments through the
Development Contract.
In addition, trunk area water assessments have not yet been levied
due to the lack of trunk water main facilities in this general area.
As a condition of final plat approval, it will be necessary to have
this development agree to these related trunk area water
assessments.
A portion of O'Neill Drive has already been upgraded to City
standards near the northeast corner of this proposed subdivision.
All assessments associated with this improvement performed by MnDOT
and the future improvement of O'Neill Drive required with this final
plat shall be the responsibility of the developer for its
respresentative frontage.
All trunk area assessment obligations shall be in accordance with
the rates in effect at the time of final plat approval and provide
credit for the required dedicated ponding easements. These
assessment obligations are estimated with 1986 rates as follows:

A (Ag.)
November 25, 1986
November 17, 1986
Planning and Engineering
APPLICATION: Two separate applications have been submitted by
Huttner Construction requesting a rezoning of 7 agricultural
acres to an R -1 (single family) district and a Preliminary Plat
for the Pinecrest Addition. This plat consists of 17 lots end
is located south of Crestridge Lane, abutting Fish Lake Park
on the south property line. The Comprehensive Guide Plan des-
ignates this area as _R -1, therefore an Amendment will not be
necessary.
LANDUSE /SITE PLAN: This 350' wide parcel is surrounded by ag.
parcels to the east and west. This City's Park Department owns
property south of this parcel, some or all of which may be under
water. The master plan for this park calls for a trail connection
from the recently completed 'built' portion of the park to the
peninsula on the north side of the lake. Either an easement
or land dedication will be necessary for this connection.
Fish Lake has a General •Development designation under the City's
Shoreland Ordinance. This will require that the homes on lots
7, 8 and 9 be a minimum of 50' from the Ordinary High' Water Eleva-
tion (OHWE). The submitted grading plan places the building
pads at least 85' in lineal distance and approximately 25' above
that elevation. All lots conform to Code requirements. in terms
of size, frontage and square footage.
The original submission was for 17 lots served by a single 650'
cul -de -sac. Other options .have been discussed including one
with a stub street to the West and one with a connection to Kolstad
Lane. The gross density for the 16 lot proposal would be 2.3
units /acre and 2.4 units /acre for the 17 lot proposal.
The site has pockets of dense vegetation including mature hardwood
species and a large area of scotch pines near the center of the
site. The topography contains knolls and depressions and falls
dramatically towards the lake. The proposed cul -de -sac will
be nearly 30' above the normal lake elevation. The applicant
will be _the site builder for this subdivision and the homes will
be.in the $140,000 range.

GRADING /DRAINAGE: Presently, approximately the northern one -third
of this parcel drains north towards Crestridge Lane with the
southern two thirds draining south into Fish Lake. This proposed
development will be performing extensive grading on this site
resulting in cuts of approximately 10 12' through the middle portion
of this parcel, resulting in the majority of the drainage being
directed by an internal storm sewer system into Fish Lake. Fish
Lake is presently controlled at an elevation of 844.8 by means of an
existing storm sewer system down to the Minnesota River. Due to the
sensitivity and qaulity of this lake, extensive erosion control
measures will have to be implemented during the development phases.
UTILITIES: A 15" trunk sanitary sewer line of sufficient depth and
capacity is immediately available across the southern portion of
this unplatted parcel. The internal sewer lateral system will
connect directly into this trunk facility.
A water main of sufficient capacity and pressure is immediately
available within Crestridge Lane. This proposed development will
obtain service by extending an internal 6" water lateral and provide
a stub for future extension to the west for future looping if, and
when, the adjacent unplatted parcels develop in a similar manner.
STREET CONFIGURATION /CIRCULATION: The initial application for the
development of this parcel provided for only a singular cul -de -sac
taking access from Crestridge Lane approximately 650' in length,
exceeding the 500' maximium required by code. As a part of the
overall development of these several remaining unplatted parcels
between Crestridge Lane and Fish Lake, it has been determined that a
stub street should be constructed from this proposed cul -de -sac to
the west boundaries of this plat for future extensions. The center
line of this stub street should be approximately 400' south of the
center line at Crestridge Lane.
Figure 1 shows the recommended master plan for the future
development of these unplatted parcels. Figure 2 shows an alternate
configuration that was reviewed by staff. However, it would require
the replatting of the existing Buffer Hills cul -de -sac (adjacent to
Pilot Knob Road) and would require the dedication and construction
of a public street and right -of -way through the adjacent easterly
parcel to Kolstad Road.
Subsequently, the developer has revised his proposed preliminary
plat to conform to the recommendations consistent with Figure 1. A
condition should be placed to ensure that no direct driveway access
is taken from a stub street to the west to minimize winter snow and
ice control maintenance requirements.
EASEMENTS /RIGHTS -OF -WAY: Presently, there is a 40 -42' half right
of -way for Crestridge Lane as dedicated with the previous Pilot Knob
Heights 1st Addition. Crestridge Lane is presently constructed to
its ultimate design standards, which requires only a maximum 30'
half right -of -way. Therefore, it is staff's recommendation that as
a condition of this plat all excess right -of -way beyond a 30' half
right -of -lay be vacated and included as developable property with
this plat.
PINECREST ADDITION
NOVEMBER 25, 1986
PAGE THREE
Staff concurs with the proposed 60' public right -of -way dedication
for the internal street servicing this proposed development.
All other internal drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated
as required by the final alignment and depth of any internal utility
systems constructed outside of dedicated right -of -way.
ASSESSMENTS: Both Outlot A of Pilot Knob Heights 1st Addition and
the unplatted parcel 070 -51 have been previously assessed for trunk
area sanitary sewer and water benefits. Therefore, there are no
additional assessment obligations associated with these trunk area
utilities.
However, the trunk area storm sewer assessment levied under Project
#77 in 1972 did not cover the entire area of both parcels.
Subsequently, there are five acres proposed to be platted under this
application that have not fulfilled their trunk area storm sewer
obligation.
In addition, when the trunk area sanitary sewer was installed across
the southern boundary of this parcel, the lateral benefit was
deferred until time of development and /or connection. Subsequently,
this development will be responsible for 350' of lateral benefit
from trunk sanitary sewer.
A detailed research of the assessment records also revealed that
there are $1, 542.86 of outstanding levied special assessments that
have never been collected due to Outlot A going tax forfeit. This
outstanding amount, plus any interest due, should be the
responsibility of this development.
While the outstanding additional assessment obligations associated
with this plat will be calculated at the rates in effect at the time
of final plat approval, the financial obligation has been estimated
for informational purposes only using the 1986 rates as follows:
Proj.

REZONING, COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT,
PRELIMINARY PLAT (35 -E DIFFLEY CENTER)
BIETER COMPANY
SW 1/4, SECTION 21
A (AGRICULTURAL) RB (ROADSIDE BUSINESS)
NOVEMBER 25, 1986
NOVEMBER 20, 1986
PLANNING ENGINEERING
APPLICATIONS: Two separate applications have been submitted to the
City for the 35 -E Diffley Center, a shopping center complex
consisting of 735,000 sq. ft. The first application is a request
to rezone 88.76 acres of A (Agricultural Land) and 2.2 acres of RB
(Roadside Business) to a Regional Shopping Center Planned
Development RSC (P.D.). The second application is for a Preliminary
Plat of Lots 1, 2, 3 and 5 in the first phase of this major shopping
complex. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this area as R -II
(Mixed Residential, 3 -6 dwelling units per acre) and P (Parks
Public Space). Therefore, an Amendment will be necessary. This
proposal is located north of Diffley Road at the 35 -E interchange
and has its easterly property line approximately 250' east of Thomas
Lake Road.
PROJECT SCOPE: The proposal calls for a phased development
consisting primarily of five major anchors located within two large
building structures. These include a 102,000 sq. ft. Target store,
a 170,000 sq. ft. Northwest Swim and Racquet Club and a 60,000 sq.
ft. department store in the first phase. Two other larger tenants
may include a childrens store, sporting goods store or a catalog
showroom -type store. Supporting retail uses would fill in the areas
between these major tenants, creating a Phase I total of 470,000 sq.
ft. of gross building area.
Phase II would contain an 89,000 sq. ft. home improvement center and
a 75,000 sq. ft. discount grocery store. Supporting uses will also
be included. Both phases will be physically separated by a proposed
extention of Johnny Cake Ridge Road. This road will loop to the
east and tie into the extention of Thomas Lake Road from Diffley
Road to Deerwood Drive.
35E DIFFLEY CENTER
NOVEMBER 25, 1986
PAGE TWO
A 6 -acre area east of the Thomas Lake Road extention has been
designated for 40,000 sq. ft. of office use and would act as a
buffer to the adjacent undeveloped land to the east. An 8.4 acre
area on the northeast portion of the site has been designated as a
Public Use area. This may be used to fulfill the City's Park
Dedication requirement.
ZONING LAND USE: Currently, this site is inactive. The area
closest to the 35 -E interchange was used as a temporary cement plant
for the 35 -E construction through Eagan. At that time, a grading
permit was issued, and approximately 1/3 of the site has been rough
graded. The natural characteristic of the site is one of knolls with
a mixture of young to mature hardwood trees, most of which are oaks.
This 90 +acre site is surrounded by agricultural parcels to the north
and east. A possible City water storage facility near the northwest
portion of the site and along 35 -E has been discussed, but is not an
imminent proposal. The Deerfield Apartment project consisting of
324 units is across Diffley to the south, along with RB (Roadside
Business) zoning extending west to the freeway. Across 35 -E to the
west is more high density housing and the Blackhawk Plaza Shopping
Center.
The 100' wide Williams Brothers Pipeline easement crosses the site
in a northerly manner near the eastern portion of the site. The
pipeline will be lowered in this area when the Diffley Road
improvements take place..
SITE PLAN /CODE CONFORMANCE: Johnny Cake and Thomas Lake Roads will
provide the actual access into this site and to the major parking
areas required for retail use. Instead of breaking down the parking
requirements for each proposed user, staff based the parking
requirements on the worst possible scenerio, or that of all retail
use. In that case, Code would require 2,966 parking stalls. This
site plan provides 3,442 stalls. In other cities, health clubs are
often reviewed separately because of the specific nature of the
facility. Also, their hours of operation do not necessarily
correspond with those of the adjacent retail use. In any event,
cross easements will be a necessity for the overall continuity of
this project.
Each building component should be reviewed in detail by the
staff /Advisory Commissions and Council prior to final plat
submission in order that specific concerns can be addressed and
resolved. The Planned Development Agreement should be signed before
any site development and /or grading takes place.
The overall lot coverage is 18.5% and 30% is permitted by City Code
in RSC Districts. All setbacks meet Code requirements in this
Preliminary Plat proposal.
35E DIFFLEY CENTER
NOVEMBER 25, 1986
PAGE THREE
TRAFFIC: The actual amount of traffic and the patterns generated by
this proposal have inititated much of the prepublic hearing
discussion. This site will be serviced by two City collector
streets, a County road and a full diamond Interstate highway
interchange. All of these roads have been or will be designed to
accommodate the additional traffic in the area. Staff has reviewed
preliminary numbers that indicate the traffic generated by this
development should not cause undue stress on the improved roadway
system. However, the detailed traffic study has not been reviewed
in detail at this point in time.
Pilot Knob Road will begin to be improved in 1987 and take two years
to complete. Cliff Road is also scheduled for improvements in the
near future. Since Diffley and Cliff Roads cannot both be closed at
the same time, there will have to be a coordinated effort between
the County, City and developer regarding the improvement schedule in
order to minimize traffic delays within the City.
A detailed traffic analysis has been provided by B.R.W., Inc. It
has been prepared to include a "Post Development" scenerio, that
is, with this project completed, Blackhawk Plaza fully developed and
all existing traffic around the site included in the ADTS (Average
Daily Trips) figures. All roads were calculated on their improved
status or proposed design capabilities.
ENVIRONMENTALS: An EAW (Environmental Assessment Worksheet) and ISP
(Indirect Source Permit) will be required and staff is currently
working with the appropriate governmental agencies to determine what
elements will be required to obtain the specific permit. It has not
been determined whether a full EIS (Environmental Impact Statement)
will be necessary. Other permits may need to be obtained from the
MWCC (Metropolitan Waste Control Commission) and the Metropolitan
Council.
Another concern the City must deal with is the amount of existing
retail commercial zoning in Eagan as well as the amount in other
surrounding cities. Also related would be the market absorption for
a major complex of this type. Both the Target and Northwest Swim
and Racquet Club have committed to this specific site and to the
first phase of development.
FIRE POLICE PROTECTION: Both of these departments have only
reviewed this proposal on a preliminary basis. However, there were
no major issues that would appear to be unresolvable with the proper
platting and building permit procedure. Access to and within the
site will be critical to the safety of all those in the general
area. Aside from the Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Thomas Lake Road
improvements, all other interior parking areas and road systems
shall be reviewed more extensively with the detailed building and
individual lot plans.
35E DIFFLEY CENTER
NOVEMBER 25, 1986
PAGE FOUR
PARK ISSUES: Trails along Diffley and Thomas Lake Roads will be
required and the APRC (Advisory Parxs Recreation Commission) will
need to review this project for the appropriateness of the Parks
Dedication fee. The Public Recreation portion of this site has been
deliberately left undeveloped so that the City would be able to
study this area in greater detail. Should that area not fit in with
the City's overall Park System and Master Plan, another use will
need to be proposed prior to the signing of the P.D. Agreement.
SITE AESTHETICS: Staff is recommending that an overall landscape
plan be submitted to ensure compatability of species and overall
continuity in this large proposal. All plant material sizes shall
be in conformance with the City's Landscape Policy. Special design
emphasis will be placed on the berming and screening of parking
areas, trash locations and loading /service areas. All detailed
plans submitted on a grading plan would then be required with the
individual lot plans. These plans should be prepared by a Landscape
Architect familiar with native species and plant material hardiness.
An overall Sign Agreement shall also be entered into by the
developer prior to the issuance of any individual sign permits.
This will eliminate any undue variances and provide a more uniform
cohesive development.
GRADING /DRAINAGE: The western portion of this site has been
previously graded under Excavation Permit No. EX 21 -194 in 1984 in
conjunction with the construction of I -35E. The eastern two thirds
of this site still remains in the natural undisturbed condition
consisting of extreme elevation differentials of approximately 60'.
The proposed grading of this development would include the
development of seven onsite storm water detention basins. Several
extensive retaining walls will have to be constructed along adjacent
property lines due to the extreme change in elevations. The final
approved grading plan adjacent to Diffley Road must be compatible
with the final design grades of the future County Road 30 (Diffley
Road) road improvements. The required grading of the overall site
involves extensive cuts and fills up to 40'. Although this
development is proposed to be constructed in a phased program, it is
recommended that the grading of the entire site be completed with
the first phase to ensure that all the storm water detention basins
are developed and to minimize the negative impact of potential
significant unbalanced final cut /fill quantities and to allow the
construction of the required retaining wall structures, buffer
landscape screening and permanent vegetation restoration for erosion
control.
35E DIFFLEY CENTER
NOVEMBER 25, 1986
PAGE FIVE
The two storm water detention basins in the extreme southeast corner
of this development will have to have a storm sewer outlet extended
approximately 600' east along Diffley Road to the existing City
trunk system, which has adequate capacity to handle this proposed
runoff. The remaining five proposed storm water detention basins
which provide for a total storage volume of 25 acre -feet shall be
interconnected by a master storm sewer system approved by the City
with an ultimate discharge to the north. The storm sewer system
will have to be extended across the adjacent property (Francis
Franz) to the existing City /state storm sewer system north of
Deerwood Drive adjacent to I -35E. The final storm sewer and
drainage system will have to be revised to eliminate the proposed
discharge into the I -35E right -of -way along the western boundaries
of this development due to current restrictions by MnDOT. In
addition, a storm sewer system will have to be extended to the south
of Diffley Road to provide a future outlet with a capacity of
approximately 65 CFS.
In summary, there are no major concerns associated with the grading
and drainage of this proposed development subject to maintaining the
proposed onsite storm water detention capacities and extending the
storm sewer system to existing downstream trunk facilities. Figure
1 shows the relationship and the compatibility of this development
to the existing comprehensive storm sewer system. These existing
trunk facilities will provide positive drainage all the way to the
Minnesota River.
UTILITIES: Trunk sanitary sewer of sufficient depth and capacity is
presently available on Diffley Road approximately 1,000' east of
Thomas Lake Road. Figure 2 shows the relationship of this property
to the existing trunk sanitary sewer system. This development will
require the westerly extension of a minimum 10" diameter sanitary
sewer along Diffley Road with an internal 8" lateral distribution
system providing for a stub to the north (Francis Franz property)
for possible extension.
Water main of sufficient capacity and pressure is immediately
available along Diffley Road from Johnny Cake Ridge Road to the
east. Figure 3 shows the relationship of this development to the
existing and proposed trunk water distribution system. The existing
16" trunk water main extending south from Diffley Road along the
previous proposed alignment of Johnny Cake Ridge Road will have to
be relocated to conform to the proposed new alignment of Johnny Cake
Ridge Road and its intersection with Diffley Road. This 16" trunk
water main must then continue through this development to the
extreme northeast corner for a future extension and connection to
Deerwood Drive. A 12" trunk water main extension from the Thomas
Lake Road alignment must also connect with this 16" extension to
provide an adequate looped trunk system. The future extension and
connection to the Deerwood Drive trunk water main will not be
necessary,due to the fact that the northern boundaries of this
proposed development is the dividing line between the high and
intermediate pressure zones of the City's overall trunk distribution
35E DIFFLEY CENTER
NOVEMBER 25, 1986
PAGE SIX
system. The remainder of the internal lateral distribution system
will have to have its size and alignment designed with the final
site plan configuration and building plan review to ensure adequate
pressure and fire hydrant placement.
STREETS /ACCESS /CIRCULATION: This site will be serviced primarily by
County Road 30 (Diffley Road), which is a two -lane rural road
section currently scheduled for upgrading by Dakota County in 1988-
89. It is proposed to be constructed as a four -lane divided
roadway, with trailways on both sides, providing signalized
intersections at Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Thomas Lake Road which
will be the two major access points to this proposed development.
Any additional accesses onto County Road 30 will be restricted to
"right -in /right -out" at specific locations as may be approved by
Dakota County. It is recommended that the Johnny Cake Ridge Road
extension and the Thomas Lake Road extension, to their mutual
intersection, be designed as four -lane divided roadways with a
trailway on both sides. The Thomas Lake Road extension to the
northeast corner of this development shall continue the trailway
system on one side, with the final street width design yet to be
determined by the City's thoroughfare plan analysis.
In addition, a 32' street shall be stubbed to the north at the
northern loop of Johnny Cake Ridge Road, between the two proposed
storm water detention ,basins, to provide a secondary outlet for the
future development of this adjacent parcel (Francis Franz).
While the developer has submitted detailed traffic generation,
distribution and impact analysis studies, the staff has not had
adequate time to review this complex information to provide adequate
comments. However, with the pending improvement of Diffley Road
(County Road 30) and Pilot Knob Road (County Road 31), along with
the existingl -35E interchange, it is not anticipated that this
development will generate traffic problems that cannot be handled by
these existing and scheduled future road improvements. However,
additional detailed studies will be necessary to verify this along
with the final size and alignment of the Thomas Lake Road extension
to the north and its ultimate connection to Deerwood Drive.
This development shall be responsible for its appropriate financial
costs associated with the upgrading of County Road 30, the full cost
of the Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Thomas Lake Road extensions and
the related trailways, including the north side of Diffley Road.
The proposed intersection of the Thomas Lake Road extension at
Diffley Road shall line up with the existing Thomas Lake Road
intersection to the south.
EASEMENTS /RIGHTS -OF- WAY /PERMITS: The final configuration and
location of the storm water detention basins incorporating the
required storage volumes shall be defined and incorporated on the
final plat.
35E DIFFLEY CENTER
NOVEMBER 25, 1986
PAGE SEVEN
Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Thomas Lake Road extensions shall provide
for a minimum 100' right -of -way with Thomas Lake Road north of its
intersection with Johnny Cake Ridge Road being a minimum 80' right
of -way.
Sufficient right -of -way and temporary construction easements shall
be dedicated as required by the County for the upgrading of County
Road 30.
This development shall be responsible for the acquisition of all
easements necessary to extend the sanitary sewer and storm sewer
systems to the existing trunk facilities.
This developer shall be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory
agency permits (MPCA, MWCC, Department of Health, etc.) are acquired
prior to final plat approval or building permit issuance, whichever
is required by the affected agency.
ASSESSMENTS: All property proposed to be developed under this
application has been previously assessed for trunk area sanitary
sewer under Project #88. Therefore, there are no further assessment
obligations for trunk area sanitary sewer.
Except for the small triangular residual of Hillandale Addition #1
in the southwestern corner of this development, no trunk area water
assessment has previously been levied. Therefore, this development
will be responsible for trunk area water assessments at the
commercial /industrial rate over the net assessable area excluding
public dedicated right -of -way and ponding easements.
There is a pending assessment against the northerly most 220' of
this proposed development from Project #372 (I -35E /Deerwood Drive).
However, this pending assessment was calculated based on a single
family residential useage. Therefore, this portion will be
responsible for the additional assessments associated with the
proposed upgrading to commercial /industrial. The remainder of the
property to be developed has never been assessed for its trunk area
storm sewer obligations. This will also have to be calculated at
the commercial /industrial rates. Appropriate credits will be
provided for all dedicated public right -of -way and ponding
easements.
The lateral benefit assessment from the existing 16" trunk water
main along Diffley Road was deferred at the time of installation
until development of the adjacent benefitting properties.
Therefore, this development will be responsible for this lateral
benefit calculated at half the frontage adjacent to this trunk water
main.
This development will also be responsible for assessments associated
with the future upgrading of Diffley Road and the related trailway.
35E DIFFLEY CENTER
NOVEMBER 25, 1986
PAGE EIGHT
This development will be responsible for all costs associated with
the extension of sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer laterals and
internal streets necessary to service this development.
The final assessment obligations will be calculated based on the
final net assessable area and the rates in effect at the time of
final plat approval. Based on 1986 rates and gross area, less a 20%
credit for future right -of -way and easements, these assessment
obligations are estimated as follows:

MEMO TO: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
C
FROM: JOHN VONDELINDE, SUPERI1ITLNDENT OF PARKS
DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 1986
RE: WINTER MAINTENANCE AND SPECIAL PROJECTS
J
Ken, this memo is intended to provide you with an overview of our plans for
maintenance of park facilities this winter.
BASE FLOODING
Base flooding of the hockey rinks and pleasure rinks will begin on Monday,
December 8th. Tom Schuster and Rich Pelletier have agreed to work the night
shift of 9:30 A.M. to 6:00 A.M., during this period. Both tankers will be
utilized to accomplish flooding in the most effective manner. The balance of
the maintenance staff will continue to work the regular shift of 7:00 A.M. to
3:30 P.M. during the base flooding program. Flooding will continue, of
course, during the daylight hours. We anticipate that base flooding will be
completed by Wednesday, December 17th weather permitting.
RINK MAINTENANCE ROUTES
Similar to last year, two flooding crews will be utilized. The flooding
routes will be staffed by the following maintenance workers:
Route 1 Route 2
Don Buecksler
Rich Pelletier
Steve Hadden
Tom Schuster
Scott Eppen
Gary Skogstad
Dan Curtin will serve as a swing man when other employees are ill, or on
vacation, etc. Dan will assist Steve Taylor with equipment maintenance and
perform other odd jobs around the shop. Dan will swing to Route #1, replacing
Rich Pelletier, when carpentry activities are on -line.
Daily flooding routes have been established to place priority on maintenance
of our Class "A" rinks and then Class "B "C and pleasure rinks in
descending order of priority. Some modifications of the prioritites have
been made to address the logistics of travel from one site to another.

3. Highview C
4. Country Home C
5. Lexington C
6. Burr Oaks C
7. Woodhaven (assistance) B
Route#1 will be responsible for maintaining 7 hockey rinks and 7 pleasure
rinks; Route #2 will have 5 hockey rinks and 6 pleasure rinks. The added
distance of travel on Route #2 should help to balance the time commitments of
both routes. If Route #2 completes it's work sooner than Route #1, assistance
will be provided at Woodhaven and /or Cedar Pond Parks as necessary. A map
depicting each route and classifications is attached, for your convenience.
A program of Saturday rink maintenance will be implemented. Emphasis will be
placed on snow removal on Class A and Class B rinks. Two maintenance workers
will be brought in on Saturday, working from 4:30 A.M. to 9:30 A.M. to
accomplish these tasks. During periods of heavier snows additional call -outs
will be required.
SNOW PLOWING
Access road and parking lot snow removal will be integrated into the rink
maintenance routes. Daily (as needed) snow removal and sanding will occur at
the following sites:
1. Goat Hill
2. Trapp Farm
3. Walnut Hill
4. Patrick Eagan
5. Fish Lake
6. Pilot Knob
7. Highview
8. Country Home
9. Burr Oaks
Route #1 will provide assistance to Route #2 (with snow removal) as dictated
by snow depth or other outside factors (no pun intended). Obviously, the
greatest volume of snow plowing will occur on Route #2 with inclusion of the
Trapp Farm and. Goat Hill parking lots. Also, do you wish to have Walnut Hill
on the list? I felt the potential for winter use was there, e.g., archery,
passive skiing, sledding, playground use, etc.
All parking lot snow removal will be accomplished by parks staff. Only in the
very deepest snows would the Streets Department be called on to assist with
parks plowing. Obviously, streets and cul -de -sac plowing is the top priority
in the Streets Department. For that reason, I did not call upon their
department for incorporation of any park roads and lots into their routes,
i.e, we would have ended up at the bottom of the list.
The Streets Department will be maintaining at parking lots at all of the
municipal buildings this winter. Good news!
EQUIPMENT
Allocation of departmental equipment, to each route, will be as follows:
Route 1
Groundsmaster /Broom #332
Groundsmaster /Snowblower #333
Truck /Trailer #304
Plowing Truck #314
Tanker #315
Route 2
Groundsmaster /Broom #335
Groundsmaster /Snowblower #334
Truck /Trailer #307
Plowing Truck #310
Tanker #312
VACATION
During winter school break the flooding route schedules will be adjusted to
better accommodate area youth. From December 22nd through January 2nd the
maintenance staff will work from 5:00 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. daily. This schedule
change will affect the entire crew including Steve Taylor, whose primary
responsibility this winter will be equipment maintenance.
STREET DEPARTMENT NEEDS
As you know, the Streets Department has made modifications to it's plows, and
contracted out one snowplowing route, which will have positive implications
for resource needs in our department. Steve Taylor is being assigned to cul-
de -sac Route #4. Steve is the only person who will be needed from our
department on a regular basis. Asssuming the weather is "average" we expect
Steve to be on this assignment about 8 to 10 times during the winter.
During heavy snows, sickness, and so on, it is possible that more staff from
parks maintenance division will be called upon to assist with plowing in the
Streets Department. In order to respond to these shortages we have prepared
for the following scenarios:
A. Two employees needed:
o two brooms (2)
o two blowers (2)
o two plows /tankers (2)
o supervisor floater (1)
B. Three employees needed:
o two brooms (2)
o two blowers (2)
o two plows /tankers (2) (incl. supervisor)
C. Four employees needed:
o two brooms (2)
o two blowers (2)
o one plow (tanker) (supervisor)
o emphasis on A and B rinks
D. Five employees needed:
o one plow (1)
o one broom (1)
o one blower (1)
o one tanker (1) (supervisor)
o emphasis on A rinks
CROSS COUNTRY /SLEDDING HILL MAINTENANCE
I have firmed up our agreement with Steve Michaud on winter trail and sledding
hill grooming. Lakeville will furnish us with the grooming machine and
operator for one eight to ten hour day per week preferably Thursdays. The
cost, as we discussed, will be $13.00 per hour for operator and machine.
Assuming 80 to 100 hours for a 10 -12 week period, the total cost to our
department will be in the range of $1,000 to $1,300. Grooming will occur at
Patrick Eagan, Blackhawk, and Blue Cross /Blue Shield Trails and at Trapp Farm
Park sledding hill. In the meantime close communication will be maintained
with Lakeville Parks and Recreation.
OTHER PROJECTS
Available indoor time will be consumed in a variety of construction and
maintenance activities. My objectives for the maintenace staff are to:
1. Begin construction on a number of park identification signs.
(Will the Commission be reviewing
2. Complete construction on the new picnic tables (60).
3. Rehab all existing tables needing work.
4. Construct new players benches using frames salvaged from "old" benches.
5. Commit time to implementation and management of vehicle and equipment
maintenance program.
6. Rehabilitation of Rahn Building.
7. Construction of hockey and soccer goals.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
C/O KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
FROM: THOMAS A COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: DECEMBER 2, 1986
SUBJECT: STORM SEWER IMPACT ON PARK PROPERTY
It is my understanding that there has been growing concern
regarding the impact of storm sewer improvements (or lack
thereof) on park property as both proceed with development in
accordance with their respective master plans. I will be happy
to provide a detailed explanation of the City's Comprehensive
Storm Sewer Plan and its impact on park property at the Advisory
Parks Recreation Commission meeting to be held on December 4,
1986. In anticipation of that presentation, the following
background information may be helpful in understanding the
compatability and reliance of one upon the other.
In the early 1960's, the City (Township) authorized a
Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan to be prepared and used as a guide
to assist in the orderly development of the community. This
Master Plan was revised in 1972, 1978 and, most recently, 1984.
It was prepared by the consulting firm of Bonestroo, Rosene,
Anderlik Associates, Inc., who evaluated the topography of the
City and established several major and subdrainage districts.
Each subdrainage district was created by analyzing the overland
surface water flow into an existing water body or low lying
drainage basin. The City's zoning and future Land Use Guide were
then used to determine the amount of runoff generated into each
drainage basin. Through the interconnection of these drainage
basins by an integrated storm sewer system, all surface water
runoff eventually reached the Minnesota River.
Since the initial implementation of this Comprehensive Plan, the
City has adopted three basic philosophies for creating and
incorporating as many ponding areas as possible:
1. To reduce the size and resultant cost of the storm
sewer system to the Minnesota River.
2. To create and maximize a ground water recharge system.
3. To contain and retain sediments and nutrients at each
level before discharging water further downstream.
The attached exhibits show the relationship of existing park land
to the City's comprehensive storm sewer system and drainage
basins. The majority of these park lands are presently serviced
with a storm sewer system which either drains the park land or
provides an outlet for the drainage basin located adjacent to or
within the particular park property.
However, with the design of this comprehensive storm sewer
system, not only is it necessary to provide an outlet to maintain
a controlled stable water elevation, it is necessary to restrict

riparian property with a drainage /ponding easement to incorporate
a temporary high water "bounce" that will periodically occur with
high intensity or long duration rainfalls. The height of this
bounce is dictated by the restriction of the storm sewer outlet
capacity in relationship to the greater amount of tributary
surface water runoff and /or upstream pond discharges. Due to
these three variables, each drainage basin has unique
characteristics regarding the impact that this temporary high
water elevation has on the surrounding property.
Previously, I mentioned that the majority of the park land is
presently serviced with a storm sewer system and /or drainage
basin. However, there are several parks that currently do not
have its ultimate storm sewer system installed, listed as
follows:
Country Home Heights (HP -4)
Highview (H -f)
Wescott Station (JP -16, 17 and 18)
Rahn Park (AP -49)
Highline Trail /Mallard Park (BP -6)
Berry Patch (JP -7) 1
Northview (JP -34) 2
Schwanz Lake (LP -32) 1
Oak Pond Hills (LP -61) 1
1 Projects presently approved by Council action with
construction anticipated to be completed by June, 1987.
2 Public hearing scheduled for December 18, 1986.
With the exception of those projects presently scheduled for
storm sewer facilities, the remainder of the parks have not
indicated a pressing need to have the extensive and expensive
storm sewer systems installed, resulting in the ever unpopular
special assessment against property within the affected drainage
district.

PAGE 3
The City has had a very aggressive schedule in installing major
trunk storm sewer systems to keep up with the explosive growth of
the City and trying to protect existing park land. Within the
past 4 -5 years, major storm sewer outlets have been provided for
the following park lands:
Blackhawk Park
Burr Oak Park
O'Leary Park
Patrick Egan Park
Walden Heights Park
As can be seen, the majority of the past park land dedication has
incorporated major wetlands or drainage basins as a part of the
park land itself. Subsequently, with the completion of the trunk
storm sewer system and the saturation development of the
community, these drainage basins located within various park
lands will periodically "bounce" to varying degrees, depending
upon rainfall intensity impacting adjacent park land facilities
and vegetation on a temporary basis until the storm sewer system
can drain it down to its controlled elevation.
As you can see, the City has tried to incorporate as many ponding
areas as possible to minimize the impact on any given pond.
During those periods of most severe rainfall where park land will
be most impacted, there will be major flooding in other portions
of the City (backyards, street intersections, etc.). To design
the system any other way would have resulted in considerable
greater expense. Subsequently, a realistic design was
incorporated whereby mainline storm sewer laterals were designed
to handle the 5 -10 year frequency storms, with major ponding
areas designed to handle the infrequent 100 year frequency
designs.
1 will look forward to explaining this comprehensive storm sewer
system in greater detail with the Advisory Parks Recreation
Commission and any other interested party and how it impacts and
benefits various park lands throughout the City. For those park
lands that presently need storm sewer outlet facilities, it would
be very helpful to have the Advisory Parks Recreation
Commission evaluate those park lands and provide a priority
listing to help the staff in its future capital improvement
program planning. Any input and all comments will be greatly
appreciated in helping to design the best economical system
necessary to service our community.
