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

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.

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.

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.

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.,

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.

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.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT NORWEST 2ND ADDI ZON`
APPLICANT: MILO PINKERTON BILL MAC PHERSO
NORWEST PROPERTIES
LOCATION: SA OF SECTION 10 LOCATED IN T QUADRANT
OF PILOT KNOB RD YANKEE DOODLE'] kD
EXISTING ZONING: P.D. (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.

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

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.

SUBJECT: REZONING PRELIMINARY PLAT
WESTBROOK 1ST ADDITION
APPLICANT: THOMAS WESTBROOK
LOCATION: PART OF THE SA, SECTION 14
EXISTING ZONING: R -1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT-)
A (AGRICULTURAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: AUGUST 27, 1985
DATE OF REPORT: AUGUST 20, 1985
REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING DEPTS
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application is a request. to
rezone approx. 1.3 acres from A (agricultural) to R -1 P.D.'and
the remaining 5 acres or being rezoned to R -1 (residential
single district), located in part of the SWh of Section 14. 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.

SUBJECT: REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT
APPLICANT: RANDY BARROWS, SUNSET 10TH ADDITION
LOCATION: NW4, SECTION 25
EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: AUGUST 27, 19'85
DATE OF REPORT: AUGUST 20, 1985
REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted for
rezoning and preliminary plat approval for the Sunset 10th Addition.
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.

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.

DEPARTMEN MASTER PLAN
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: SEPTEMBER 4, 1985
RE: JOINT SCHOOUCITY PURCHASE SCHOOL PARK LOCATION
BACKGROUND:
The Advisory Parks Recreation Commission has previously discussed the
purchase of 30 acres with School District 196 for a school /park location.
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.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DOROTHY PETERSON, RECREATION SUPERVISOR
DATE: SEPTEMBER 3, 1985
RE: 1985 SUMMER PROGRAM REPORT
Again this year the Parks Recreation Department offered a variety of summer
activities to both youth and adults. 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.

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

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.

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.
