ADJOURNMENT MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: SEPTEMBER 3, 1985 RE: SEPTEMBER 5 1985 COMMISSION MEETING Two important developments have recently occurred which I would like to bring to your attention before getting into the Commission's agenda material. The department's application for financial assistance from LAWCON /L.C.M.R. for additional acquisition of Blackhawk Park has been ranked fifth. In a "normal" year this would have been high enough to receive funding. However, because of federal cuts in LAWCON funds and State Legislative action in the last special session, the total dollars available are not sufficient to fund beyond the first three grant applications. This item has been placed on the agenda for additional discussion. The second newsworthy item is that Blue Cross /Blue Shield of Mn. has consented to an early parks dedication of 10.25 acres of its property within the Blue Cross /Blue Shield P.U.D. This concludes nearly a year of discussions with the Blue Cross /Blue Shield administrators regarding this early parks dedication and will allow this department to include this park in a spring 1986 construction contract. Under "Other Business Reports" staff will be requesting the selection of a date during the month of September or early October in which members may wish to participate in a brief "dedication" ceremony recognizing the turning over of this property to the City. After approval of the agenda and the minutes of August 1 and 15 meetings, there will be four items under "Development Proposals The packet contains information prepared by the Planning Department concerning each of these four developments. Item #1 is Whispering Woods which consists of 15 single family lots in Park Service Section #31W. Staff is recommending a cash dedication requirement for these 15 lots. Westbrook First Addition is a rezoning of 1.3 acres from agricultural to R -1 for the purpose of developing six single family lots. This development is immediately adjacent to the Lexington Place South Addition with the proposed home sites abutting Canary Way. A cash dedication requirement is recommended. Norwest Second Addition is a proposed preliminary plat consisting of 3.8 acres and two commercial lots. This development is located on the intersection of Pilot Knob and Yankee Doodle Roads. As a commercial development, staff is recommending that this preliminary plat be subject to the City's commercial /industrial parks dedication requirement. Item #4 is the Sunset Tenth Addition which is a preliminary plat for four single family lots and one church lot. This development is located in Park Service Section #26 and is part of the Lexington South P.U.D. Therefore, its parks dedication requirements have been fulfilled. Staff is recommending that the Commission consider a trailway on County Road 30 which this development abutts. Such trailway would run adjacent to the Sunset Sixth Addition and Northview Meadows. Northview Meadows currently has a bituminous trailway in place along its development on County Road 30. OLD BUSINESS A single item under "Old Business" is the discussion of a joint school /park site location in Section 414. The selected site is on Wescott Road immediately east of the Northern States Power Company's north /south powerline easement. Included in the packet is a separate memorandum addressing this issue. At this time, there are no items scheduled under "New Business There are two items under "Parks Development Business The first is a review and analysis of the athletic sites being proposed for acquisition. Consultant Parks Planner, Tim Erkkila, has prepared additional concept plans for both the Ohman site and the Cliff Road and Hwy. #3 site. While staff intends a full presentation at the Commission meeting, the initial work by Mr. Erkkila reflects that the Ohman parcel, in his judgment, should be the preferred location. His analysis indicates that a 30 -33 acre parcel works most effectively relative to the number of facilities and probable grading cost. It is also Tim's recommendation to, if possible, shift the site slightly to the south to avoid the swale or ravine area which is immediately adjacent to Pilot Knob Road. Tim was also given direction to review the possibilities of acquisition of up to 40 acres in order to provide additional facilities. It was his conclusion, and staff concurs, that additional acreage may not provide for any additional facilities. This is because of sizing of facilities such as soccer and ball fields. Deviation from the standard 280 foot and full —size soccer fields does mean that an additional facility could be developed. It is our Consultant Parks Planner's conclusion, and it is concurred by staff, that if additional facilities are desired, the increments in acquisition be no less than ten acres, i.e. 33 -43 acres in size. Staff will review this and other information relative to the sites at the Commission meeting. An additional side note The Ohman property is not listed by any specific realtor. While staff has been working with Mr. Don Graham of Gonyea Realty, staff has also been approached by Mr. Martin DesLauriers, former Police Chief, who is now a real estate agent. Mr. DesLauriers would act as an agent for the City in trying to secure this parcel, if desired. A 4% Commission fee would be charged. The second item under "Parks Development" is an update on parks construction activities and a look into the future for activities yet to be completed this year. OTHER BUSINESS REPORTS At the last Commission meeting members volunteered to assist staff with a planned playground equipment tour for the public. The six park sites include Highview, Country Home, Ridgecliff, Oak Chase, South Oaks and Peridot Path. Advertised hours are between 2:00 -4:00 P.M. Members of the Commission would be stationed at each of the park sites to generally respond to questions regarding equipment, costs, other planned improvements in the park, etc. Volunteers for each park site are requested. The City Council has recently authorized the department and City to enter into a composting program. The program is an effort to reduce solid waste of which leaves and brush material amount to approximately 9 -10% of materials disposed in landfills. The City will be receiving financial assistance for this program through a landfill tax imposed by the State Legislature. Staff will provide additional information about the composting program inasmuch as the Commission had spent considerable time reviewing such a possibility. A reminder that the annual picnic is on Friday evening, September 6. Any last minute arrangements that need to be taken care of can be completed at this time. At the last Commission meeting, storm water run —off at Trapp Farm Park was of considerable concern to the Commission. Staff has asked City Engineer, Rich Hefti, to respond to this issue and provide a memorandum to the Commission. As mentioned in the opening remarks of this memorandum, the LAWCON application for financial assistance for the acquisition of property around Blackhawk Park and Lake did not receive any funding. This would be an appropriate time for the Commission to discuss and review this issue and provide direction to staff. In anticipation of a spring 1986 parks construction project, staff has met with the principal from Pilot Knob School. Inasmuch as Pilot Knob Park is a prime candidate for construction in 1986, staff has met with the school principal in an effort to seek his and the School District's cooperation. At this time, the response has been very positive and another meeting has been set up with School District officials to discuss what role the district could play in providing a "total" park and school site which are complimentary to each other and the community. With the approved dedication of park in the Blue Cross /Blue Shield P.U.D., a dedication ceremony is being planned. Officials of Blue Cross /Blue Shield, Commission and City Council could participate in a brief ceremony recognizing Blue Cross /Blue Shield for their early dedication of the property for park purposes. It is expected the park will be under construction in the spring of 1986. The Commission had asked what the final balance of the "Park Site Acquisition and Development Fund" is. Enclosed is a brief summary sheet developed by the department showing the current balance, expense obligation and probable expen— diture from the fund now planned. Staff will provide additional information at the meeting. See you on Thursday, the 5th! Respectfully submitted, Director of Parks Recreation KV /js SUBJECT TO APPROVAL MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION EAGAN MINNESOTA AUGUST 15, 1985 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Martin at 7:05 P.M. Commission members present were: Ketcham, Fedde, Kubik, Martin, Alt, Carroll and Caponi. Commission members Thurston, Bertz and Masin had notified the Commission they would be unable to attend. Staff members present were: Parks Recreation Director, Ken Vraa; Landscape Architect /Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan; Administrative Assistant, Liz Witt; and Parks Intern, Scott Morgan. AGENDA Parks and Recreation Director Vraa had some new information he wished to present in Item F1., Park Development, Athletic site. Commission member Fedde moved, Ketcham seconded to approve the agenda as amended. MINUTES OF JULY 11, 1985 On a motion by Alt, seconded by Fedde, the minutes were approved as presented. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS A. Spande 7th Addition Roy Spande The proposal is a preliminary plat to create four single family lots near Highview Avenue and Highway 13. The Planning Commission approved and the Commission could require cash but no trail dedication. Commission member Fedde moved, Kubik Seconded to recommend cash dedication for three lots. The motion carried. B. Wedgewood 2nd Addition Brad Swenson The site was previously zoned multi family but now is being proposed for 22 single family lots. The parcel is part of the Lexington South P.U.D. which has fulfilled its park dedication requirements. It was suggested the Commission seek trail dedication along the north side of Wilderness Run. Commission member Carroll moved, Caponi seconded to recommend that a trailway be required, built to City specifications. All voted in favor. C. Stmcliff 3rd Addition The parcel of 13.5 acres is part of Eagan Hills West P.U.D. The developers have already given some parkland and appear to be current with park dedication. There are already trails on County Road 30 and Blackhawk so no trail dedication is needed. Chairman Martin made a motion, seconded by Alt to bring the park dedication up,to date at the time of the annual planned development review. The motion carried. Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. August 15, 1985 D. LeMay Lake Hills Al Kempf A new developer for this site now proposes 40 dwelling units along Pilot Knob Road. There will be a mix of units but the total is fewer than the last proposal. Director Vraa suggested cash dedication be considered as well as trail construction along Lone Oak Road and Tower View Road. Commission member Carroll moved, Fedde seconded to recommend cash dedication, trailways along the south side of Lone Oak Road and Tower View Road. Commission member Carroll moved, Fedde seconded to recommend cash dedication, trailways along the south side of Lone Oak Road and the north side of Tower View Road, that care is taken to observe setback requirements from the lake, and to maintain lake quality by observing erosion control measures. All voted in favor. E. Wyndham Corporation Trammel Crow The developer proposes a commercial planned development with Phase I to be a hotel. The rest of the parcel will be outlot. Director Vraa noted that the plans indicate the developer has taken a great deal of care with his landscape plans and made particular efforts to preserve two wooded areas. Commission member Kubik made a motion, seconded by Fedde, to recommend cash dedication at the commercial industrial rate and to commend the developer for proposed landscaping plans. However, the landscape policy of the City should be applied to this proposal to insure that it meets requirements. The motion y carried. OLD BUSINESS A. Rahn Ridge Parks Recreation Director Vraa noted there has been a roadway change through the development. He suggests the Commission recommend a cash dedication for the proposed government lots, along with the Commission preview recommendation. The Commission is already on record to accept the parkland dedication, a trail on Rahn Road through Fieldcrest Drive, to recommend relocation of storm sewer inlets into the pond and that grading be reviewed so that it complements park planning. A 20' trail was also to be provided between lots 1 and 6. Commission member Alt moved, seconded by Carroll, the recommendation to require a trailway along the new road alignment. In addition to the previous action of the Commission, the members went on record to recommend commercial industrial cash dedication if the three parcels are developed as commercial plats. All voted in favor. NEW BUSINESS A. Pleasure Skating Rink Lexington Park Director Vraa commented that the pleasure skating section of Lexington Park is poorly attended. He asked Commission discussion regarding continuing the rink operation vs. closing it down. He said it takes up to 20 hours to prepare a base of ice for the rink. Skaters prefer to use the hockey rink because the Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. August 15, 1985 ice is better, it is ready sooner and the lighting is better. Several suggestions were offered such as to close for a year and monitor comments to such action; add more lights and regrade so the hockey and pleasure rinks are at the same level. Members were concerned with costs to take these actions. They were also interested in current census data, which is just being gathered, numbers and age groups. On a motion by Chairman Martin, seconded by Carroll, Staff was directed to review grading costs, light costs and new demographic data and report back to the Commission at the February meeting. The motion carried. PARK DEVELOPMENT A. Athletic Site Director Vraa presented another potential site for the Commission to review. He said there is a possibility of 33 acres currently owned by the Ohmann family which might be acquired for an athletic site. The site is at the SE corner of Pilot Knob and Cliff Road, adjacent to the golf course. He thought a preliminary cost figure would be $12,500 per acre. He did not think much grading would be necessary and the soils are good. Director Vraa also stated that the Petersons are holding firm on their asking price for the Cliff Road /Highway 3 site. Commission members discussed the three sites. While most members were in favor of the location, the Ohmann parcel at 33 acres was considered too small to be flexible enough to serve the City's future needs. It was the consensus of the group to remove the Peterson parcel from consideration and focus interest primarily on the Barr site and the Ohmann site. Commission member Caponi said he looked at the Barr site and no longer had objections. He did think it would be safer to have the road access go under the railroad tracks. It was noted that trains use the tracks on an average of three times per day. Director Vraa said it would be possible to construct an internal road and have entrance on Cliff and exit unto Highway 3• There was discussion on the possibility of widening that road and having parking on both outside lanes in lieu of a parking lot. The Commission consensus was to obtain the Ohmann site if a larger parcel could be put together. Staff is asked to determine if a larger, 40 acre parcel, might be available. Members wanted all associated costs for the Barr site. Costs would include an under pass, a turn lane, internal road wide enough to accommodate car parking and grading. All information should be brought to the first September meeting for a decision and recommendation to the Council for their second September meeting. B. Park Shelter Building No meetings have been held with Schwartz -Weber during the past two weeks. The planners will make a presentation at the Commission's first September meeting. Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. August 15, 1985 OTHER A. Lexington Place South U.S. Homes Corporation Director Vraa noted that the City Council accepted the Parks Recreation Commission recommendation to deny the total platting of the outlots. Outlot C will remain open space and two lots have been removed from Outlot A. Mark Parranto has since acquired the property and stated he will maintain the parcel and pay the taxes. Director Vraa said that the PD agreement calls for open space. B. Storm slater Run -Off On Trapp Farm Park Chairman Martin again voiced concern about the run -off from Northview Meadows. Director Vraa said the Engineering Department and the developers are working to resolve the problem. Chairman Martin requested that Public Works Director Colbert come to the September meeting to discuss erosion control. C. Tour Of New Play Facilities Director Vraa announced that on Sunday, September 22, there will be a tour offered to Eagan residents of all the new play equipment installed. He asked that Commission members volunteer to host each of the six locations along with a staff member. Commission members were enthusiastic about the tour. D. Annual Picnic The Commission agreed to hold the picnic at Blackhawk Park on Friday, Spetember 6. Tom K6tcham will be in charge of the food and a donation of $2.50 per person attending is requested. If available, the chuckwagon will be utilized. AWOURHMM On a motion by Caponi, seconded by Fedde, the meeting was adjourned. Time of adjournment was 8:50. Dated Advisory Parks Recreation Secretary SUBJECT TO APPROVAL MINUTES OF A REGULAR NESTING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION EAGAN MINNESOTA AUGUST 1, 1985 Due to a lack of quorum, the regular meeting of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission could not be held as scheduled. Commission members present were: Ketcham, Masin, Martin, Caponi and Alt. Members Thurston, Bertz and Carroll had notified staff that they would be unable to come. Staff members present were: Parks Recreation Director, Ken Vraa; Landscape Architect /Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan; Administrative Assistant, Liz Witt; and Parks Intern, Scott Morgan. Approval of the agenda, July 11 minutes, development proposals, old and new business were carried over to the rescheduled meeting. The Commission will meet Thursday, August 15, at 7:00 P.M. PARKS DEVELOPMENT A. Athletic Site Parks Recreation Director Vraa brought Commission members up to date on athletic site "negotiations He said that the conditions on the preferred site owned by the Petersons remain much the same. The owners are not retreating from their initial asking price. They have received information about recent sale prices of land in the area but remain adamant. The Peterson site of 43 acres has room for four softball and two soccer fields and would require moderate grading. The Barr parcel, located nearby, has 43 acres which would be combined with a 22 acre parcel for a total of 65 acres. This site would require substantially a more grading. However, the total cost to acquire these two sites would be about $100,000 less than Petersons are asking. General discussion centered on access to the Barr site. Chairman Martin preferred access off Cliff Road. He felt access was too difficult from Hwy. 3. If Hwy. 3 were used, perhaps a signal would have to be installed and another turning lane as well. It was suggested that an internal road could be utilized, with an entrance on Cliff and exit on Hwy. 3. Commission member Caponi did not like the location. He thought that it was too far away and would not be used. He didn't like the fact that Hwy. 3 and railroad tracks would have to be crossed in order to get to the site. Chairman Martin felt that most people would come by car and the fields would be scheduled so there wouldn't be the likelihood of youngsters riding their bikes over for a game of pick -up ball. Commission member Ketcham cautioned the Commission that the smaller site Petersons might be inadequate to meet the City's future needs and we should take a closer look.at the larger site. Chairman Martin requested that staff research the cost of a signal at the "Park Road" and Hwy. 3 intersection, cost of another lane, an internal road and any other access enhancements for the Barr parcel. Adv. Parks Rea. Comm. August 1, 1985 F B. Park Shelter Building Director Vraa stated there have been three meetings with the architects, Schwarz Weber, thus far. They have viewed pre- sketches to get a feel for the City's preferences. The architects will have a presentation ready for a September Commission meeting. OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS A. Storm slater Run -off To Trapp Farm Park Chairman Martin noted that there is a lot of water run -off from Northview Meadows development which has eroded the park and exposed tree roots. Parks Recreation Director Vraa said the Engineering staff has taken photos and is now working with developers to correct the problem. Chairman Martin said he would like Public Works Director, Tom Colbert, to discuss erosion control with the Commission sometime this fall or winter. Chairman Martin also requested that the landscape policy be presented in its final form at a fall meeting. B. Behne House Parks Recreation Director Vraa said that the roofing is done and bids for the windows have been let. The remaining work, including the furnace, should -3 be done soon. The tenants have started repair work in the bathrooms. Meeting notices will be sent out for the August 15 meeting, with all formal business to be conducted at that time. The meeting adjourned "at 8:45 P.M. Dated: Advisory Parks Recreation Secretary CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, AND VARIANCE APPLICANT: DONALD HILLA (WHISPERING WOODS 2ND'AD) LOCATION: S.W.4 SECTION 31 EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: AUGUST 27, 1985 DATE OF REPORT: AUGUST 19, 1985 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted' -for rezoning and preliminary plat approval for Whispering Woods- 2nd Addition. The plat consists of 15 single family lots on 5.4 acres located north of Storeland Road and east of Slater Road. The applicant is also requesting a 10' variance from the 30' front setback on lots 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, and a 20' rear yard variance from 50' to 30' on lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 along Slater Rd. ZONING AND LAND USE: The property to the north (Slater's Acres) and east (Norv.in Oaks) is platted. South of Storeland Rd. is unplatted'as is the area west of Slater Rd. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates the subject parcel as R -II, Mixed Residential, 3 -6 DU per acre. The land generally flows from the N.W. to S.E. with a drop of approximately 42 feet. The western portion of the site contains mature trees, primarily oaks. The eastern portion of the site has been previously graded and is vegetation free. L COMMENTS: The 15 S.F. lots give the site a density of 2.7 Units per acre. The majority of the lots range in size between 11,000 sq. ft. and 14,000 sq. ft. The front yard setback variance on lots 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13 is desired in order to preperve as much of the wooded hillside as possible. The 20' rear4yard variance is requested to allow a 30' setback to Slater Pon for lots 1, 2, 3, and 4. This setback would place the home 80' from the Slater Road centerline. A similar variance was gr*nted for the Whispering Woods Addition., f r WHISPERING WOODS 2ND ADDITION AUGUST 27, 1985 PAGE 3 cul -de -sacs, the developer will be responsible for upgrading his half of Storeland Rd and Rusten Rd to City standards. The developer proposes on installing these streets and upgrading his portion of Storeland and Rusten Roads under private contract. All streets will be built to City standards, that being a 32 foot- face to face of curb and gutter street and 7 ton loading capacity. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: Slater Rd and Storeland Rd will not require any right -of -way dedication because Mn Dot acquired this right -of -way with the Cedar Av freeway construction. This develop- ment will be responsible for dedicating a 20' half right -of -way for Rusten Rd. A 30' half right -of -way was previously dedicated with the Norvin Oaks Addition. Staff feels a 50' right -of -way for Rusten Rd is adequate due to the small service area. The developer proposes on dedicating a 50' right -of -way for the two cul- de- sacs. Again, Staff feels this is adequate due to the limited service area. However, Staff feels the radius for the cul -de -sac should be 60' rather then 55' as proposed. Staff deems the extra 5' necessary for the extra snow storage, required on cul -de -sacs Depending upon the proposed layout for the storm sewer the City is to construct, a 20' utility easement may be required along the common lot line for lots 13 and 14. If Staff requires this easement then it shall be dedicated on the final plat. All other easements shall be dedicated as per City Code. ASSESSMENTS: Assessment research indicates all trunk area related assessments have been levied with the exception of trunk area storm sewer. However, the trunk area storm sewer assessment is pending under Project 419. This development will be responsible for its share of the storm sewer proposed to be constructed under City Project and for all utility and street improvements necessary to provide service to this development. WHISPERING WOODS 2ND ADDITION AUGUST 27, 1985 PAGE 2 GRADING /DRAINAGE: A depression at elevation 848 exists over the eastern a of this site. From here, the land raise 30' in elevation to the west. All drainage on this site ii in an easterly direction towards the depression. This depresasion also serves as a drainage way for storm water runoff generated from south of Storeland Rd. In addition a culvert is in pj.ace under Rusten Rd to the NE to allow drainage from this depression to eventually reach pond AP -34. The outlet to pond AP -3 is presently under construction under City Project 419.' The grading over this site is feasible. However it will re ire the construction of storm sewer to transmit storm water rui south of Storeland Rd to the NE and into pond AP -34. This Gill be necessary because the developer proposes on filling the depression to provide buildable lots. The developer proposes to petition the City for the installation of the storm s wer dine. The City will assess the cost of this storm sewer ne to the benefitted property. Staff does not anticipate ,any arm sewer trunk construction required. WATERMAIN: Watermain exists along the west, south and east fide of this proposed development. The watermain along the west hide of this development is west of Slater's Rd and consists` of an. 8" diameter main. The remaining pipe is 6" diameter. Pro ct 419 provides for the looping of the dead end watermain wi.hin Rusten Rd and will improve water pressure and quality to his development. The developer proposes on installing the nece's'ary watermain extensions to service this development privately. SANITARY SEWER: Sanitary sewer to provide service to this deve�op ment is presently under construction under Project 419. his project will bring the sanitary sewer to the intersection; of Storeland Rd and Rusten Rd. The depth and capacity of this s.ne will be adequate to service this development. The developer proposes on extending sanitary sewer to this development' under private contract. STREETS: Slater's Rd borders the development on the west, Storeland Rd borders this development on the south and Rusten Rd borders this development on the east. All these roads are under the City's jurisdiction. Slater's Rd is built with ultimate deiign cross section, that being a 9 ton load bearing capacity an 44 feet wide. Storeland Rd presently exists as a 22 foot wide bit i- nous surface with ditch drainage.. Rusten Rd consists of vel surfaced roadway with ditch drainage. Neither Storeland Rd' or, Rusten Rd are built to City standards. The proposed cul -de -sacs are both easily within City Code Viand are the only way to provide access to this proposed deve'lop*ent off of Storeland Rd. Along with the construction of these two. b p a a WHISPERING WOODS 2ND ADDITION AUGUST 27, 1985 PAGE 4 CONDITIONS: 1) All standard plat conditions shall apply'. 2) Variance granted as stated in report 3) The developer shall petition the City for the installation of storm sewer to pond AP -34. 4) The developer shall upgrade his portion of Storeland Rd and Rusten Rd to City standards. 5) A 20' half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Rusten Rd and the cul -de -sac radiuses shall be 60'. 6) If required, a 20' utility easement shall be dedicated over the common lot line for lots 13 and 14. 7) This development shall be responsible for all costs associated with lateral street and utility improvements and its share of the storm sewer proposed to be installed under City Contract.

(PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: AUGUST 27, DATE OF REPORT: AUGUST 21, 1985 REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING DEPTS APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted. for a preliminary plat which would consist of approx. 3.8 acres.' arid, contain 2 lots. Norwest 2nd Addition located in part of the SWh of Section 10. BACKGROUND: In 1982, Norwest submitted an application for rfa ping and preliminary plat which ultimately allowed the constru tiara of Norwest Bank in the NE quadrant of Pilot Knob Rd '1 Y nkee Doodle Rd. In this preliminary plat and rezoning proses it was determined that the Planned Development be established with an underlying zoning of agricultural and limited business dis.tr cts. It was also decided that the City Council would make then -use determination on the undeveloped property at a later point' in- time or with the submission of the second phase. Attached is a copy of the 1982 City Council minute -s_ for your review and background update on the Norwest Planned Development The application submitted now consists of the remainder of the Norwest property which consists of approx. 3.8 acres and wall contain 2 commercial lots. Lot 1, located south of Norwest ourt and east of Pilot Knob Rd, would consist of approx. 1 acr;. and proposed as a Hardee's Restaurant. The City has allowed a fed "l S, in a Limited Business District in another location in• the ity. If Limited Business is the intended use for the remaind, of this P.D., Hardee's would then be allowed in a L.B. ais rict through the granting of a Conditional Use Permit. As pra :tice has indicated, this would be an acceptable use within the District. A general site plan showing how Hardee's would -fit on Lot 1 has been submitted to Staff for review. With this site plan, Norwest Properties is proposing to change the acces I a of Norwest Court further to the east in order to accomddatel the room needed for a Hardee's Restaurant. The existing roads. 4, that now provides access to the bank, would be relocated €firth- r to the east. The second lot has had a number of uses proposed. The use that Norwest Properties is proposing to pursue is a strip center hi,ch would consist of approx. 24,000 S.F. The decision for the. Cfty would be if this facility meets the original intent the P.D. PRELIMINARY PLAT NORWEST 2ND ADDITION PAGE 2 AUGUST 27, 1985 which was approved in December of 1982. Only a concept has been submitted for the strip center and no detail plans for parking ratios, setbacks or details for this use. Hopefully, the detailed site plans for the strip center will be submitted and attached with this report for your review. It appears that the strip center could be a building that would be allowed within this zoning district. The uses that would be allowed could be limited more to the L.B. uses in accordance with the zoning ordinance. These would include; office, professional, medical clinics, restau- rants. If these were the uses within the strip center it could be determined to be a L.B. facility and compatible with the P.D. If more of a retail use were allowed, the Commission and Council would have to determine if this use would be permitted or allowed within the P.D. as originally approved, GRADING /DRAINAGE: The existing topography slopes gently in a northerly direction. Because of the gentle slopes, this development requires very little grading. The grading plan, as proposed, is feasible. Although the proposed grading plan indicates all surface runoff, Staff recommends the installation of a catch basin at the west radius of the westerly entrance drive onto Norwest Ct. The added impervious surface from this development will increase the amount of runoff to be collected within the gutters along Norwest Ct. WATERMAIN: This development can extend an existing 8" watermain that was constructed under the Norwest lst Addition. This line' is adequately sized to provide water service to this development. SANITARY SEWER: The sanitary sewer installation was also a pant of the Norwest lst Addition development A 6" stub exists under Norwest Ct. to provide service to this development. STREETS: This proposed development is bordered on the west by Pilot Knob Rd which is under the jurisdiction of Dakota County. Pilot Knob Rd. will not require any further upgrading since it is built to its ultimate design section. Norwest Ct. is a City street adjacent the north boundary of this development. This development proposes to extend Norwest Ct. approx. 150 easterly then 100' southwesterly to provide access to the Norwest" lst Addition. This is necessary because this development will cut off the present access that the Norwest lst Addition is using as Outlot B. Because this area is a commercial /industrial develop- ment, Staff recommends the extension of Norwest Ct. to be built to a 9 ton standard. As an access to this development off of Norwest Ct., Staff recom- mends the west access be denied and either relocated further east or maintain the easterly access as the main one to this development. The reason for Staff's recommendation to deny this access is because it is only 70' from Pilot Knob Rd. Staff feels PRELIMINARY PLAT NORWEST 2ND ADDITION PAGE 3 AUGUST 27, 1985 that this distance is not great enough to allow driver reaction to respond to vehicles turning off of Pilot Knob Rd. onto N4rwest Ct. It does not allow for adequate stacking distance either. RIGHT OF WAY /EASEMENTS: A 55' half right of way shall be dedicated for Pilot Knob Rd. The 50' half right -of -way proposed for N .rwest Ct. is acceptable due to the limited service area. This devel pment should dedicate a minimum of a 20' utility easement for the ater main extension. n ASSESSMENTS: Researching our assessment records indicates this development is responsible for the assessments as outlined in 4 the following summary table: Estimated Assessment Summary Est'd 1985 Est'd Description Quantity Rate Amo' t Trunk Area Water Outlot A 0.15 Ac $3,020 /Ac Al) 4� 3 B 0.29 Ac 3,020 /Ac 876 010 -52 0.59 Ac 3,020 /Ac 1'$2 Subtotal $3,11 Trunk Area Sewer Outlot A 0.15 Ac $1,190 /Ac 179 B 0.29 Ac 1,190 /Ac 3'45.'

The second application is a request for preliminary plat approval consisting of 1.3 acres and containing 6 single family lots which deviate from the R -1 zoning standards. This addition would be called Westbrook 1st Addition. ZONING LAND USE: This parcel has been designated R -II, :3 6 dwelling units per acre in accordance with the Eagan Comp. Guide Plan. Presently the parcel is zoned R -1 and A. This develop- ment would be consistent with the R -II density of 3 6 dwelling units per acre. BACKGROUND: This property is located just north of the Williams LaRue Addition which has just received preliminary approval to subdivide into single family lots. The property to the north east of this parcel, has been subdivided and approved and is known as Lexington Place South which consists of smaller single family lots. Lexington Place South abuts this development on the north and east and has a road, platted and graded, running adjacent to the easterly boundary of the subject property: Present- ly the road has been graded and utilities have been installed and stubbed into the property being platted. Cardinal Way, which stubs to the property mid -way, has been anticipated to continue through to Lexington Av. The applicant has sketched an overall plan as to how he would develop the remaining 5+ acres with future phases. The application submitted for platting, Westbrook 1st Addition, would only consist of 1.3 acres and contain 6 single family which do deviate from the R -1 zoning standards. Five lots would be 67' width- by 135' in depth for a total square footage of 9,045 S.F. per lot. The corner lot on Cardinal Way Canary Way would have an 83' width by 135' depth for 11,205 S.F. The remaining lots sketched, which are not under consideration for development at this time, all meet the R -1 85 x 12,000 S.F. criteria of'the R -1 zoning district. WESTBROOK 1ST ADDITION AUGUST 27, 1985 PAGE 2. In review of the sketch plan, the applicant is showing the present location of his home and as to how it would fit into the overall plan. The only comment regarding the sketch, would be the one lot that is proposing to have access onto Lexington Av. The access to this lot could be shifted internally, in order to eliminate another driveway access onto.Lexington Av. GRADING /DRAINAGE: Staff is not in receipt of a grading plan to review for this development. However, it appears from the existing contours that this development will require very little, if any, site grading to prepare this land for buildable lots. Nevertheless, Staff recommends that the developer submit a grading plan for our review indicating how the lots will drain when built upon. This will help avoid future problems resulting, from each builder grading a lot differently. This development drains southerly and eventually ends up in pond JP -44, as shown on Figure 1. Pond JP -44 presently has no outlet. Staff does not feel the development of 6 lots will adversly affect the water level within this pond. Besides, Project 450 (Williams and LaRue 2nd Addition) will provide for an outlet to this pond. This project is presently under study by the City's consulting engineering firm. UTILITIES: These 6 lots presently have sanitary sewer and water service to them. The construction of these services took place with the Lexington Place South project. STREETS: These 6 lots have access to Canary Way, a city residential street built to its ultimate section. Canary Way was also con structed under the Lexington Place South project. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: A 60' half right -of -way will be required to be dedicated for Lexington Av. Otherwise, this development is not responsible for any other right -of -way due to the dedication of Canary Way right -of -way with the Lexington Place South develop- ment. Staff will require this development to dedicate a minimum 20' sanitary sewer easement across lot 7 in accordance with Project 450. The dedication for this may be by separate document, especial- ly if this final plat approval preceeds the Council authorizing Project 450 construction. ASSESSMENTS: Researching our files indicates all trunk area related assessments are either pending or have been assessed to this development. CONDITIONS: WESTBROOK 1ST ADDITION 1. The plat shall be subject to the Park Commission's recommenda- tion. 2. A deviation of the lot size shall be allowed in accordance with the exhibit accompanying this report. 3. All standard plat conditions shall be applied. 4. This development shall comply with all standard engineering conditions which apply. 5. A 60' half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Lexington Avenue. 6. A 20' sanitary sewer easement shall be dedicated across lot 7 in accordance with alignment required under Project 450.

This plat consists of 4 s.f. lots to be rezoned R -1 and one church lot to be rezoned P.F. (public facility) on 10 acres of land south of Diffley and Dodd Roads. ZONING AND LAND USE: R -1 districts border the site on 2 sides with Sunset Additions on the west and along the south with the Saddle Horn Addition. The property to the east is owned by the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church. North of Diffley Road is zoned A (agricultural). The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this site R -1. The pond elevation of 906 is the lowest point on the site with all areas draining toward it. The western hillside is the steepest with a slope of more than 20 A ravine separates this area from the more gradual slope from the east. South of the ravine, where the future parking is designated, the soil' is of questionable building suitability and the proposed use appears appropriate. All existing drainage flows from the pond north under Diffley Rd. Existing woods cover almost all of the western hillside (lots 1 and 2). SITE PLANNING: Access to phase 1 would be from Diffley Rd. at the lowest possible point to allow for maximum vehicle visibility. Additional access may occur from Stirrup St. after the future parking lot is installed. A road easement connects the proposed Augusta Lane cul -de -sac and Lutheran Church to the east and north of lot 3. The Sunset 7th Addition has been previously platted and at this time nothing has been built on these 2 lots. The applicant wishes to replat lot 1 from the existing 110' to 100' along Yorktown Place to allow more building flexibility in the now proposed corner lot (lot 2). Lots 1 and 2 of the Sunset 10th Ad. are rather large, approximately 1.3 and .75 acres respectively. t SUNSET 10TH ADDITION AUGUST 27, 1985 PAGE 2 The minimum frontage on the cul -de -sac is rather small. Lots 3 and 4 are. more representative of the surrounding R -1 districts. The parks dedication has been fulfilled as part of the Lexington South P. D. An 8' trail on the south side of Diffley Rd. would be required by the Park and Rec Dept. GRADING /DRAINAGE: The grading plan as proposed with this develop- ment has two major problems. The first being Lot 2 is inaccessible due to steep grades from the cul -de -sac. Second is that in order to provide sanitary sewer service to the church site, fill will be required over the sanitary sewer extension. The drainage all drains into a low depression located next to Co. Rd. 30 just east of proposed Lot 1. From here the storm water runoff is conveyed under Co. Rd. 30 by a culvert to a future City ponding area, JP -27, as shown on figure 1. This pond presently has no outlet. Staff is not aware of any flooding problem to date, however, Staff will begin monitoring this pond if the proposed development is approved. Staff will require that the drainage from the cul -de -sac be conveyed to the proposed pond by storm sewer pipe. This development will require placement of a culvert across the grading required to provide cover over the sanitary sewer line because this grading will block existing drainage patterns. WATERMAIN: An existing 20" watermain is in place along the south side of Co. Rd. 30. 6" watermain are located within the inter- section of Augusta La Yorktown P1 and also at the dead end of Stirrup St. Staff recommends the extension of the 6" watermain from the Augusta La and Yorktown P1 intersection north, then east along the proposed road easement to connect to the extension of Stirrup St watermain. SANITARY SEWER: There are three possible alternatives to provide service to this proposed development and are outlined as follows: Alternative 1 Extend the sanitary sewer from Yorktown Pl Augusta La intersection north to the end of the cul -de -sac. Then extend a line to the east to provide service to the church site. This alternative will require filling the ravine to provide a minimum of 6' of cover over the pipe. It also would provide service to an elevation of 923 for Lot 1, 920 for Lots 3 4. Elevation necessary to service the church would be very close. Alternative 2 Extend the sanitary sewer in Stirrup St north to the proposed road easement, then west to the cul -de -sac, then south to service Lots 3 4. This alternative provides E SUNSET 10TH ADDITION AUGUST 27, 1985 PAGE 3 approx. 3h' more depth than alternate 1. Still it would be necessary to fill over the ravine for the installation of sanitary sewer and also to fill somewhat off the end of Stirrup' St to provide adequate cover for the sanitary sewer. Alternative 3 The sanitary sewer from Augusta La &,Yorktown P1 could be extended north to the end of the cul -de -sac and the sanitary sewer from Stirrup St could be extended. north to provide service to the church site. The east -west line need not be constructed under thi& alternative. It will still require fill over the extension from Stirrup St. STREETS: Co. Rd. 30 (Diffley Rd) borders this development along the north. Co. Rd. 30 is a two lane, rural roadway under the jurisdiction of Dak. County Hwy Dept. Subsequently, this. develop- ment will require Dak. Co. Hwy Dept. to grant a right of access on this stretch. Yorktown P1 Augusta La intersection provide access to the SW corner of this development and Stirrup St dead ends into Lot 5 of this development. These streets are under the jurisdiction of the City and are built to City residential street classifications. This development proposes to extend Augusta La as a cul -de -sac to provide direct access to Lots 1 4. The cul -de -sac is within all City Code requirements. This differs from the previous ,plan Council Commission reviewed and approved. As you will recall, the previous plan provided for a street from the Yorktown P Augusta La intersection easterly to connect to Dodd Rd. Because this development does not propose to develop on Lot 5 south of the Lutheran Church site, Staff feels extending the cul -de -sac easterly to the church site is inappropriate at this time, If the church would decide to subdivide the area of Lot 5, south of the Lutheran Church site, in the future, the City can. then require the installation of the easterly street extension from the cul -de -sac. It would be appropriate to construct a turn around for Stirrup St because it does not appear likely that the extension of Stirrup St northerly will ever occur. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: A 60' half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Co. Rd. 30. The 30' half right -of -way proposed by the developer, complies with City requirements for a cul -de -sac street. Staff recommends a 60' radius be dedicated for the turn around on Stirrup St. Staff will require easements over the sanitary sewer and the watermain looping. The minimum width shall be 30' where the watermain and sewer are parallel and 20' only one exists. Staff also recommends the dedication of a 20' utility easement for storm sewer from the cul -de -sac to the pond and a drainage easement across Lot 5 as necessary to insure future drainage. r SUNSET 10TH ADDITION AUGUST 27, 1985 PAGE 4 ASSESSMENTS: A check of our assessment records indicate this development is still responsible for trunk area storm sewer assess ments. The estimated assessment for trunk area storm sewer,based on 1985 residential rates, amounts to $18,400.00. This results from using an estimated 8.8 net acres at $0.048 /S.F. The actual amount of the assessment due at the time of final platting will be based upon the rates in effect at the time of final platting and the final plat areas less public right -of -way and.ponding easements. All remaining costs for this development will be the sole responsi bility•of this development. CONDITIONS: 1) The church lot must meet all applicable public facilities ordinances. 2) All standard plat conditions shall be required. 3) Lot 2 shall be graded to provide for no greater than a 10% slope on the driveway. Adequate cover shall be placed over the sanitary sewer line extensions. 4) The watermain shall be looped from Augusta La to Stirrup St. 5) A turn around shall be constructed to City standards for Stirrup St. 6) A 60' half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Co. Rd. 30, a 30' half right -of -way shall be dedicated for the cul -de -sac street a 60' radius shall be dedicated for the turn around. 7) A 30' utility easement shall be dedicated where the sanitary and watermain run parallel. A 20' utility easement shall be dedicated where only watermain runs, and a 20' utility easement shall be dedicated for a storm sewer line draining the cul -de -sac to the pond. 8) This development. shall be responsible for its trunk area storm sewer assessments at the rate in effect at the time of final platting. 9) All costs associated with public improvements within this development will be the sole responsibility of this development. 10) All standard engineering conditions which apply shall be adhered to. 1 OLEARY PARK CARR /AGE I .,ILLS GOLF s r te• 1 CJ a ay COURSE C Rd No 63A oL mow *ESCOTT L u �7 _�NAARK i. 1 F /PE LEPr Arm a�� 2�2 ER R A4, COMM ROOM —ga -A13F.;iT EAGAN CENTER wfvDCPEST RDAD BERRY VORTHV/EW n V el PATCH PARK PARK PA -.-am TRICK `;Y I +'.�.a�/ EAGAN PARR V T PIDe r 1 l r ;.I.EN �'I �F��_ S A� x- cLAr:,v PL QZ GOAT HILL PARK 3 LAKES /OE WALNUT KILL /"A I I PARK _q� SCHWANZ 11 LAKE PARKII PARK LAKE C ,R ';7E l R^Ap "LA TiiOMA$ �'S-!ti 1 L ��'�5� x„"27' W� lJ\$E.

This parcel will be located in Park Service Section 414 with the 30 acre parcel on Wescott Road immediately east of the north /south Northern States Power easement. The architectural firm of Hammel, Green Associates employed by School District 196 has done a sketch plan for the site. This plan depicts the probable building location, access road, adjacent facilities, and the ten acres (as outlined by the heavy dark dash line) designated for parks purposes. ANALYSIS: In a staff meeting with the architects from Hamel, Green Associates, it was a staff requirement that the parks area be able to provide for a soccer field and softball /baseball field. In addition, access to the park via vehicle and pedestrian traffic was essential. A shared parking lot was also a requirement. Although not depicted on the sketch plan, the requirement included a joint playground area for play equipment and hard surface games. As can be noted, the architect has indeed shown these requirements. Sufficient green space in the northwest corner of the site will provide a passive element to the park. It appears that trails will work effectively through the park /school acting as a connection to the west and south. The City's overall Comprehensive Trails Plan indicates trails connections on Wescott Road and beneath the north /south NSP trail easement. AREAS OF CONCERN: Staff has done a preliminary review of the grading plan accompanying this sketch. While the grading plan is obviously preliminary and therefore, difficult to ascertain grading quantities, there remains some concern. It appears that there will be a significant amount of fill required to develop the ball field on park property. It is probable that when final plans are developed for the park by the City's Landscape Architect /Parks Planner this ball field will be shifted further to the north and raised to a higher elevation. This would reduce earth work quantities as well as provide space for the previously mentioned play area. The Advisory Commission had previously expressed concern relative to the timing and development of this site. From the information available to us at this time, it is staff's opinion that this site, for parks purposes, will not have to be developed for at least four more years. While this is always subject to change based on growth and development, the current agenda for park development and park priority would continue to place this in a four —to —five year timeframe. If at that time development of the park site were to precede the school site, development would be difficult to accomplish. However, in all probability it is likely that development of the school would precede that of the park. The current school enrollment within District 196 and particularly Eagan is growing at such a rapid pace that the construction of a fourth elementary school within Eagan /196 is very likely. Therefore, the City should continue to monitor the School District's plans carefully and closely in order that it can be able to fund construction of this park on a timely basis. OTHER CONCERNS: The Commission had previously questioned what would happen if the school site were not developed. Inasmuch as the City has previously sought park property at this location, the need for a park remains regardless of whether there is a school or not. If the scenario develops that the school is never built and the property is ultimately sold to a developer, the City would retain control in that development of the park would eventually have to have plat approval by the City. Such approval would obviously require that the developer provide street access to the park. FUNDING: The cost for this park property will be $9,000 per acre which includes assessments. The City would be purchasing ten acres of property for a total cost of $90,000. Staff is recommending that this funding be taken from the Park Site Acquisition and Development Fund. SUMMATION RECOMMENDATIONS: The sketch plan developed by the architect generally represents and meets the needs for the parks including access, facilities, and with some modification, pedestrian circulation. Further work will be done by the City's Parks Planner /Landscape Architect at the time of development of the park to revise grading plans to insure completeness. The studying of other park amenities including play equipment and hard court surface areas needs to be done at time of final school /park design, but appears to be workable with the shifting of the baseball field on park property to the north. It would be appropriate for the Commission to consider a recommendation to the City Council which would include the City acquiring ten acres of park property as depicted in the sketch plan developed by the School District at a total cost of $90,000. Second, that the City develop plans to finance construction of the park concurrently with school development. Third, that the City reach an agreement with the School District or develop a Joint Powers pact for the site which would address 1) trails development, 2) play equipment and hard surface areas, 3) the joint development, i.e. grading of the site and 4) City /school usage of the property, 5) that the Parks Planner/ Landscape Architect prepare a park plan based on the depiction of the parks property for future considerations. Staff will provide additional information and specifics regarding the site at the meeting.

These activities included Summer In The Park at seven locations, Wagonful —O —Fun at six locations, Eaganettes and Fun With Dance at two locations, Rec T —Ball and Tiny Tots both at two locations and tennis lessons at five City park locations. In addition, the department offered golf lessons, Evening in the Park, adult softball for 114 teams, senior citizens events, and provided numerous picnic kits and field reservations for other community groups. The department also offered new program activities for children in the area of preschool movement, softball for boys and girls and Friday Fun for older age youth. It is quite obvious that the department was kept very busy with these activities and provided numerous hours of recreation for hundreds, indeed thousands, of City residents. TRAINING WORKSHOPS This year Dorothy Peterson, as Recreation Supervisor, and the Program Aide planned and conducted a training workshop for all leaders and aides employed in the summer programs. Methods used in the workshop included role playing, demonstration and introduction of games, large group play, small group play, new craft, rainy day activities, and how to deal with behavioral problems. The health and safety of the children and first aid was also part of the workshop sessions. Department staff is pleased with the results of this workshop with noticeable improvements and cohesiveness of the leaders at the program sites and at staff meetings. The summer playgrounds, tots and Wagonful —O —Fun were the major program activities this summer once again. It was noted that the value of the returning staff and their positive influence on the program cannot be underestimated. Leaders who have grown from teenage age to mature leaders bring with them their knowledge of the programs, how to deal with children, creativity, all combined to provide for stronger playground sites. Other program strengths include the attempt at new programs such as Friday Fun and More and field trips on Friday which became very popular through a Citywide system of bus stops. Other program strengths include the Eaganettes which continue to be a strong program with 147 children registered. As always, Tiny Tots recreation and activities filled to capacity. A sign of popularity of the program and a reflection of interest by residents is in acitivities for Tiny Tots. It is also noted that there has been a rebound in interest in tennis lessons compared to 1984 in which there was a slight drop —off of interest. Evening In The Park, subject to weather conditions, attracted 50 -125 people per event. Also popularity increased in the senior citizens programming which is now beginning to look for meetings of at least twice a month. AREAS OF CONCERN The department is not without some concerns as it looks ahead to the future. Attracting and retaining creative staff people for playgrounds and tots is difficult, particularly when evaluated against providing morning and afternoon hours for the various programs. Second, supervisory personnel felt that there has been a decline in the number of visits and contacts with program leaders. This is because of growth in other areas of responsibility, the number of sites and other City pressures resulting in less contact hours with program leaders. Third, the 1985 budget for summer programs was extremely close. In fact, total budgeted funds were $24,950 while expenditures so far have been $24,954. While staff believes this is all the expenses incurred, it is possible that there is a stray bill or two outstanding that has yet to be earmarked for payment. Actual revenues have exceeded that which were estimated for 1985 by approximately $900. This is largely the result of greater participation in the dance program, resurgence in tennis lessons, and activities associated with preschool children. All in all, the summer of 1985 was a most successful one based on increased attendance and participation in programs. The department was able to offer new program activities with staff morale remaining quite high throughout the summer. KV/ DP/ j s MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: SEPTEMBER 3, 1985 RE: PARK SITE ACQUISITION DEVELOPMENT FUND This is an unofficial, unaudited summary of status of the Park Site Acquisition and Development Fund. It was prepared for the purpose of showing the Commission an approximation of the the fund balance. INCOME Fund balance 1/1/85 644,437 LAWCON funds received (Traff Farm Park) 55,250 Park dedication fees received (7/31/85) 317,200 Contribution donations 3,900 SUBTOTAL 1,020,787 EXPENDITURES (THROUGH 7/31/85) Professional services 6,900 Improvements 20,300 Assessments 14,100 Equipment 10 SUBTOTAL 51,550 OBLIGATED FUNDS Trapp Farm Park 55,250 Fish Lake Park 32,000 Rahn Park 80,000 Vienna Woods (Escrow) ...302000 SUBTOTAL 197,250 Funds /Income (7/31/85) 1,020,787 Expense (51,550) Obligated expense (197,250) "Available" funds 8/1/85 771,987 The "available" fund as of 8/1/85 is estimated at $771,987. This is obtained by subtracting expense and obligated funds from fund carryover and 1985 income. The Commission is reminded that in addition to the obligated funds, there has been discussion that the department would fund the school /park site acquisition of $90,000 and with the underbudgeted fund for "buildings" in the parks bond, some money would be budgeted from the Park Site Fund. MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION SCOTT MORGAN, ADMINISTRATIVE ASST., PARKS RECREATION DEPT. DATE: SEPTEMBER 3, 1985 RE: RESULTS OF PLAYGROUND SURVEY With recent installation of new playground equipment at Oak Chase and Ridgecliff Parks, interest has developed about the users of the equipment. Staff feels it would be helpful to find out information about the users while conducting a general public relations campaign. The following information and comments are the results of the informal survey: SURVEY INFORMATION Locations: Oak Chase Ridgecliff Parks Dates Performed: 8/5, 8/9, 8/13, 8/23 8/27 Time Performed: Between 1:00 -6:00 P.M. INDIVIDUAL PARK INFORMATION OAK CHASE Average user count per survey: 4.6 using equipment 7.2 total using park Average playground equipment user age: 7.1 years of age 1 -12 yrs. old was the range Average playground equipment user usage: 3.3 times per week 1 -7 times per wk. was the range Means of transportation to park: 35% walk 41% bike 24% drive Distance travelled to park: walkers 5.7 blocks bikers 4.8 blocks driver 9.0 blocks Range of distance: 1 -11 blocks What parents and children like most about the new play structures: Many play features New Wood Interesting Safe Original Childrens' favorite piece of equipment: Tire swing Spiral slide Bridge RIDGECLIFF Average user count per survey: 10:3 using equipment 10.3 total using park Average playground equipment user age: 5 years of age 1 -11 yrs. old was the range Average playground equipment user usage: 2.8 times per week 1 -6 times per week was the range Means of transportation to park: walk 79% bike 21% drive 0% Distance travelled to park: walk 2.6 blocks bike 3.2 blocks Range of distance: 1 -6 blocks What parents and children liked most about the new play structures: Interesting Color New Creative play It has everything Something for all ages Childrens' favorite piece of equipment: Wave slide Spiral slide Cable ride To be slide Bridges and decks COMMENTS QUESTIONS The comments and questioned received by staff were very positive in nature. Most questions were about new park development in the City and in their neighborhood, other park locations and what programs are available to them. Comments were received on the summer playground program and picnic kits. The residents thought the City was providing a great service to the citizens of Eagan and strongly desire the service to continue. One resident said he had an opportunity to move to another community, but did not want to leave Eagan because of the services available. The only negative comments received were about the use of pea rock instead of sand under the playground equipment. Residents did not like the pea rock for the following reasons: Kids throw the rocks at other kids and the equipment The rocks get hot, are sharp and hurt or cut bare feet Sand was another play element CONCLUSION The results of the survey indicate high interest and usage of playground equipment and Parks Recreation programs. This survey was also an excellent opportunity to listen and answer concerns and questions of the public. KV /SM /js
