Adjournment MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: JULY 30, 1985 RE: AUGUST 1ST ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING Commission members will find the August 1st Commission meeting a welcome change from the past several Commission meetings. This agenda appears to be a short one with relatively less complex issues. The first item of regular business is the proposed Spande 7th Addition. This preliminary plat proposes to create four single family lots adjacent to Highview Avenue and Highway 13. It is recommended that a cash dedication requirement be a condition of plat approval. The second development proposal is for Wedgwood 2nd Addition. This preliminary application would contain 22 single family lots located on Outlot C, Wedgwood 1st Addition, which is part of the Lexington South P.U.D. The Lexington South P.U.D. has completed its parks dedication requirements, therefore, this preliminary plat is not subject to any cash or land dedication requirements. However, consistent with the City's trail policy this development shall be responsible for a bituminous trailway along Wilderness Run Road. For additional information regarding this preliminary plat as well as other development proposals on the Commission's agenda, please review the enclosed Planning and Engineering Departments reports. Sun Cliff 3rd Addition is the third item on the Commission agenda and is part of the Eagan Hills West Planned Unit Development. This 13.5 acre parcel is located adjacent to County Road 30, Blackhawk Road, and on the west Beaver Dam Road. The Eagan Hills West Planned Unit Development has previously made parkland dedication (Meadowland Park) as well as a portion of the Highline Trail. Eagan Hills West Development appears to be current in their dedication requirements, therefore, this preliminary plat shall not be subject to a land or cash dedication. Item #4 is for the Le May Lake Hills preliminary plat which would consist of 40 dwelling units. Commission members may recall that there was a previous development proposal by another developer some time ago for this property. Staff is recommending that a cash dedication be required and that Commission review issues of concerns that it may wish the Council to consider. The fifth and final item is for Wyndham Corporation Center by Trammel Crow. This commercial development is immediately adjacent to the previous Trammel Crow Company's Eagan Woods Development which is on Pilot Knob Road. This commercial P.U.D. proposal contemplates construction of a hotel complex with the first phase. The remainder of the parcel shall be outloted for future development which would consist of three office buildings. Staff is recommending that a cash dedication requirement for the preliminary plat be a condition of approval. There is one item under "Old Business" which is the Rahn Ridge preliminary plat that was reviewed by the Advisory Commission at its July meeting. The Advisory Planning Commission continued the item at its first review in June, pending a roadway change. This change has been made and staff is bringing it again to the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission's attention as to how it affects parks. Again, staff has included the Planning Department's report concerning this application within the packet. Staff has prepared a separate memo regarding the continuation of the open skating rink at Lexington Park. This issue is to be discussed under "New Business Under "Park Development" staff will again review the athletic site issue with the Commission. Very little additional information has been gathered concerning the athletic sites since the last Commission review, however, staff would like to keep the Commission updated on this important issue. The Director of Parks Recreation has two appointments with individuals concerning their land which will be reported on. Staff will also update the Commission on recent progress made with the architectural firm of Schwarz Weber concerning the parks shelter buildings. Staff has met two additional times with the architects to review a number of issues and work is progressing. At this time there is no significant information to report. Respectfully submitted, Director of Parks Recreation KV/ j s SUBJECT TO APPROVAL MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION EAGAN MINNESOTA JULY 11, 1985 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Martin at 7:05 P.M. Commission members present were: Martin, Masin, Alt, Fedde, Ketcham, Thurston, Carroll and Kubik. Members Bertz and Caponi had notified the Commission they would not be able to attend. Staff members present were: Parks Recreation Director, Ken Vraa; Landscape Architect /Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan; and Parks Intern, Scott Morgan. AGENDA Members Martin and Thurston requested the discussion of the annual picnic and the need for a second meeting in July be added under "Other Business." Member Kubik moved, Thurston seconded, the approval of the agenda as amended. The motion carried. MINUTES OF JUNE 6, 1985 Martin indicated the change in the wording regarding the Kehne House under "Other Business" and a typographical error under "D Other Business" the word "will" should be inserted. Carroll moved, seconded by Ketcham, the minutes of June 6 be approved as amended. All voted in favor. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS A. R.J. O'Neil Rezoning Parks Recreation Director Vraa briefly reviewed the proposed rezoning for R.J. O'Neil which the Commission had first reviewed at its June 6 Commission meeting. The Director explained the three basic alternatives regarding park space as well as the potential number of residents in the area based on current zoning. After presentation, Commission member Masin indicated that based on the number of people that may live in the area, the park space will be needed. Commission member Martin indicated that he saw no need for parkland in the 100 acre parcel if the rezoning is approved. Member Carroll added that if the 100 acres industrial /commercial is approved, the Commission should accept a cash dedication. If multiple, then land dedication for a park should be obtained. This would be most desirable in the northern portion adjacent to existing R -3 multiple. There was additional discussion by the Commission concerning trail access, topography of the area, possible location for a park, and development of the 100 acres. Roger Martin indicated that it would be best if a cash dedication be accepted according to current plans, but if plans for rezoning are not adhered to then the issue should be returned to the Commission regarding land dedication for parks. On a motion by Carroll, seconded by Fedde, the Advisory Commission recommended that if the 100 acre P.U.D. rezoning is approved, the Commission will accept a cash dedication. A land dedication will be sought in the current 20 acre parcel should it develop 1 Adv. Parks Rec Comm. July 11, 1985 as multiple residential. Such land dedication shall be adjacent to other multiple zoning and shall be suitable for active recreation. Second, the Commission shall review each plat in the PUD for parks dedication requirements consistent with the policies for parks and recreation dedication requirements at the time of platting. Third, trailways shall be reviewed with each plat application for recommendation. All members voted in favor. B. Lexington Place South Addition Director of Parks Recreation Vraa indicated that members Martin and Kubik had recently visited the parcels in question for a•visual inspection. Roger then presented a brief slide presentation to show the two outlots and surrounding vegetation. Mr. Bob Hoffman, speaking on behalf of U.S. Homes, traced the history of the platting of U.S. Homes from 1982 in which the original proposal was for R -4 development. He stated at that time the Advisory Commission indicated they did not wish to have parkland within the development. He went on to say that the area south of Duckwood was then replatted into single family homes. He again indicated the Commission did not want parkland. Mr. Hoffman completed his presentation by saying the current outlots are owned by U.S. Homes which now wishes to plat them for the purpose of showing ownership of the outlots. Roger Martin questioned how much fill is currently in place and how much will go into the various ponds in order to create these lots. He went on to say that apparently there is a lot of fill encroachment in the ponding areas and the Commission has a concern and sees the need for wildlife and maintenance of vegetation and its habitat. He stated this fill would also increase the pond height with a negative affect on the aesthetic quality which would not be a benefit to Eagan and these residents. Commission member Carroll questioned Mr. Hoffman's comments regarding the Parks Recreation's previous recommendation not to accept parkland. He stated that the Commission was reacting to U.S. Homes proposals which in fact provide for open space and park amenities with the multiple development as well as the single family platting. Chairman Martin questioned that if U.S. Homes owned the outlots at present, why not continue to own the outlots and maintain them for the association? He said that U.S. Homes had made an agreement with the City and should be held accountable to that agreement. Mr. Hoffman stated that the open space amenities were to be under a private ownership for the amenities that were to be provided. The Commission did not give park credit for these amenities even though U.S. Homes had requested such. He went on to say that 90% of the area in question would remain as is, but that only 10% of the area would be filled in order to create the lots. Mr. Chuck Winden, Planner for U.S. Homes, was present and responded to a series of questions regarding fill. Member Tom Ketcham said that U.S. Homes is bound to an agreement to place the tennis courts and swimming area or be in default of the development contract. He questioned what other areas U.S. Homes would not be fulfilling as previously agreed to. Commission member Carroll stated the reduction in density and the changing of development approaches by U.S. Homes was a request 2 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm July 11, 1985 to the City and that the City decided to give approvals based on U.S. Homes request. He questioned how the current proposal differed from previous requests seen last month. Mr. Hoffman responded that U.S. Homes had made a reduction of three lots. In response to a question from the Commission, the Director of Parks Recreation explained problems associated with replatting the entire Lexington South Addition and extension of lot lines through Outlot A. Chairman Martin again asked why U.S. Homes could not own the outlots. Mr. Hoffman responded that U.S. Homes would probably not maintain them once the residential lots are sold, the outlots will be abandoned and fall back to the City. He stated that it was his impression the City wishes to avoid this type of maintenance responsibility. Chairman Martin questioned why Outlot A was already partially filled. U.S. Homes responded that in order to place the roadways and right of —way, a portion of this ponding area was filled in. Mr. Windom indicated that all grades are in accordance with the approved plan for the Lexington South Addition. Commission member Fedde questioned what the maintanence cost for the outlots by area would be per year. Director Vraa responded that no figures are available, but that such costs would be minimal if the area were properly graded. Member Fedde questioned why the developer could not be obligated to put money into an annuity to help offset maintenance cost. There was no response by U.S. Homes. Chairman Martin recommended that the outlots remain as open space as was previously agreed to. Member Kubik stated that the current proposal does provide significant fill and land alteration, loss of vegetation, wildlife habitat and general desirability of the area. Mr. Hoffman responded that there would be minimal loss and the current plan provides for large lots and should, in effect, maintain the open space area but under ownership of single family homes. This would be a benefit to the area. Mr. Kubik responded that the benefit to R -4 and to the single family is not necessarily a benefit to the City as it is to U.S. Homes. Member Kubik suggested that perhaps the amount of fill could be reduced on Outlot A and blended into the existing environment if there was reduction in the number of lots. Mr. Hoffman questioned the Commission that what if the development did not fill in the pond at all. Martin said, "Why not create three lots in lieu of five, therefore, preserving the pond and echo system A variance may be required to provide less front yard setback to allow for a building pad. U.S. Homes indicated this may be a possibility. Mr. Martin indicated that the Commission had spent a considerable amount of time on this issue and that a consensus be formed. Member Kubik indicated he liked the concept of platting Outlot A into fewer lots and giving a setback which would give ownership of the outlots to single family residents and maintain the pond and echo systems. Commission member Fedde stated that the outlots could be maintained and that the City would eventually maintain the property or require the developer to put money into an annuity for maintenance. Commission member Carroll said reduction in the number of lots in Outlot A is a reasonable alternative. Member Ketcham felt that U.S. Homes should revise the entire plan in return. Member Alt said the entire area should be left as open space. Member Thurston expressed concern about the loss of open space and fill in the pond under the existing proposal. After additional discussion by the Commission concerning fill and open space as well as ownership, Chairman Martin made a motion to recommend that Outlots A and C stay as previously proposed; the motion was Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. July 11, 1985 seconded by Alt and failed by a 3 to 5 vote. Member Martin then made the motion that Outlot C remain as proposed and Outlot A have the number of lots reduced by two and that the City provide a variance for lot frontage on one lot. The motion was seconded by Fedde who added that the objective would be to reduce the amount of fill in the pond to increase open space. The motion passed 8 to 0. Immediately following the action of the Commission, Commission member Kubik suggested that the Commission inform the Council via letter, using the current situation as an example, regarding the ackwardness of these types of situations and how the Commission reacts accordingly to the development proposal. It was suggested that Council understand the Commission's concern for open space and the maintenance of quality of Eagan's land forms. Mr. Martin and Mr. Kubik indicated that they would prepare a letter on behalf of the Commission regarding this issue. B. Woodhaven Addition The Director of Parks Recreation reviewed the Woodhaven Addition and the history of an earlier preliminary plat. After review by the Advisory Commission, a motion was made by Carroll, seconded by Thurston, that the Advisory Commission recommend a cash dedication requirement for this prelimniary plat. Further, that a trail easement would be provided along Rahn Road for possible use with an upgrading of this roadway. Motion passed unanimously. Chairman Martin also stated that it should be made known to the developer that the Commission would be interested in a trail going through Outlot A adjacent to existing parkland as this parcel is developed. C. Rahn Ridge Director of Parks Recreation Vraa reviewed the proposed preliminary plat entitled "Rahn Ridge He stated that this property was originally part of the Mission Hills P.U.D. and Vienna Woods development. He stated that the City was holding an escrow account pending an actual land dedication with this plat. The Commission had previously indicated a land dedication with the specific location defined, but not yet dedication. The Commission inquired about the preliminary plat and development of the parks. Parks Planner, Steve Sullivan, presented an analysis of the area indicating the topography of the area, vegetation and probable uses of the parks. He indicated that major impacts of I -35E could be negated by a planting program utilizing fast growing poplars and a second planting of heartier tree stock. He also stated that the proposed preliminary plat show the storm sewer entering at the main entrance to the park. Commission member Carroll suggested that this should be moved to avoid conflicts. Parks Planner Sullivan continued, indicating a number of other areas of concern relative to the parks development. Director of Parks Recreation Vraa in response to a question said staff would recommend that the City accept the proposed changes in land dedication. He went on to say that in order to make this park work the City should take immediate steps to prepare the park for future development including the development of a parks plan and preliminary grading within the ponding area. 4 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm July 11, 1985 Members of the Commission agreed, saying that this would make future development easier and certainly less expensive. After additional discussion concerning the plat, on a motion by Kubik, seconded by Masin, that the City accept the proposed parkland dedication with this preliminary plat, an asphalt trail be developed on Rahn Road through Fieldcrest Drive, that the storm sewer inlets into the park /pond be relocated and subject to approval of the Parks Recreation staff, and that the proposed preliminary grading plan also be reviewed to complement parks planning, and that a 20' trail be provided between Lots 1 and 6 as depicted. All voted in favor. Chairman Martin said he assumed it was the consensus of the Commission to have staff prepare a preliminary plan for the park and for staff to proceed with the work as indicated by the Director of Parks Recreation. Members indicated it was their intent for staff to proceed in this manner.. D. Sunset 9th Addition Director of Parks Recreation reviewed the proposed Sunset 9th Addition indicating that a land dedication should be made. He reviewed other issues concerning the dedication and, in particular, that this dedication would be primarily water and lakeshore and that negotiations would have to be conducted to determine exact property lines. After additional review and discussion by the Commission, on a motion by Ketcham, seconded by Masin, that the City accept a land dedication and for staff to negotiate said property lines. Motion carried unanimously. E. R.L. Johnson Director Vraa presented the proposed preliminary plat for R.L. Johnson indicating the development would be for an office warehouse. Member Kubik questioned the landscaping plan indicating this area would be very important to ensure it blended in with the surrounding area. On a motion by Fedde, seconded by Alt, that the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission accept a cash dedication requirement consistent with the City's policies or commercial and industrial development. All voted in favor. F. Easter Lutheran Church A proposal for the expansion of the Easter Lutheran Church and the platting of this property was .presented by the Director of Parks Recreation. A number of questions were raised by the Advisory Commission concerning access, trail easement and the Commission's policy regarding cash dedication requirements for church property. Member Kubik stated that part of the Commission's policy was to insist upon a cash dedication should the property ever revert to private ownership. On a motion by Alt, seconded by Ketcham, the Advisory Commission recommended that the City not acquire a cash dedication with this preliminary plat but that should the property revert to private ownership, a cash dedication shall be accepted at that time. Motion carried 8 to 0. 5 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. July 11, 1985 OLD BUSINESS A. Lighting Policy Northview Athletic Fields Director of Parks Recreation Vraa presented the lighting policy for the Athletic Fields which was reviewed at the, previous Commission meeting. Commission member Carroll said that he had no problem with the policy, but suggested that perhaps the City should begin an intensive planting program along Northview Park Road. It was suggested that Lombardy poplar, as suggested with Rahn Ridge development, be planted. Director of Parks Recreation Vraa incurred that some planting should be done, but suggested that when Northview Road is upgraded and goes through to 'the east boundary, many of these trees probably would be impacted and lost. Member Ketcham recommended that the 9:45 starting time be removed from the policy as it was ambiguous and confusing. Commission member Carroll suggested that the 9:45 time really provided for an additonal regulation and would reinforce the authority of the policy. Member Martin agreed with Mr. Carroll. In a motion by Martin, seconded by Thurston, the motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS The Director of Parks Recreation explained the budget process the City was now initiating for 1986. He requested that any comments or concerns by the Commission be addressed within the next several days in order that they may be_ evaluated for budget inclusion. Member Kubik suggested that perhaps a meeting of the Recreation Subcommittee would be appropriate at this time so some of its concerns could be considered. Martin asked what the time line would be for the Commission's reactions. Member Kubik commented his concern for expansion of the recreation person's position in order that programming opportunities could be met. Martin concurred indicating that he is aware of the need for additional help in this area to carry out many of the programs previously suggested. Director of Parks Recreation Vraa indicated he concurred with the comments concerning the need for recreational activities expansion. He stated that due to the availability of staff, expansion of recreational program offerings is not possible. He stated that activities for seniors had been added previously as have some winter events, but that this is the limit because of time constraints and expansion in terms of numbers of existing programs. Members expressed other issues concerning the budget and indicated their willingness to suggest other items to the Director of Parks Recreation after the meeting. B. Parks Development 1. Parks Construction Update. Landscape Architect /Parks Planner,- Steve Sullivan, reviewed several slides taken of the construction progress of the spring parks contract. In reviewing the slides, changes were noted which resulted in additional costs. Various questions from the Commission were answered by Mr. Sullivan. Member Martin indicated a desire for a tour of these facilities at this stage. 6 Adv. Parks Rec Comm. July 11, 1985 2. Athletic Site. The Director of Parks Recreation updated the Advisory Commission on the status of the negotiations for the acquisition -of the preferred athletic site. He also reviewed with the Advisory Commission an alternative which consisted of a parcel of 43 acres and a parcel of 22 acres. The Advisory Commission raised several questions concerning the site located east of Highway 3 and south of Cliff Road which are to be addressed by staff. Members agreed that the asking price was acceptable. Staff reported that additional information was needed concerning this site and was not making a recommendation at this time, but merely trying to determine Commission's interest. By consensus of the Commission, staff was directed to provide more detailing and develop alternative plans and grading concepts to better evaluate the site. It was also determined that the Director should continue to negotiate with the Petersons upon their return from an extended vacation. 3. Park Buildings Architectural Review. The Director reported that staff would be meeting with the architectural firm of Schwarz —Weber on Monday, July 15. He indicated that a contract has been completed which details the scope of services. 4. Other Business and Reports Blue Cross /Blue Shield Park Property Acquisition Director of Parks Recreation updated the Commission on the. negotiations for acquisition of the Blue Cross /Blue Shield Park in advance of development. He indicated that he believes the Board of Directors for Blue Cross /Blue Shield will be acting on a proposal which would dedicate 10.25 acres to the City by the end of this year. It was explained that additional acreage which had originally been requested may be acquired at a later date when this development occurs. Several questions were asked by the Advisory Commission with a consensus that the early acquisition of the 10.25 acres was indeed important and would permit development in 1986. 5. Northview Park Project Director of Parks Recreation Vraa, during the slide presentation updated the Commission on improvements at Northview Athletic Fields as a result of the utilization of the Tree Trust Program. This area had been cleared and construction of a foot path trail around the existing pond was noted. 6. City /District 196 Park School Site District 196 has made an offer to purchase 30 acres on Wescott Road in Section 14 of the City for a future elementary school. This purchase agreement contains a contingency clause to allow the City to purchase 10 of the 30 acres for a neighborhood park. This cost would be at $9,000 per acre. Staff indicated this was an informational item for the Advisory Commission. Staff 7 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. July 11, 1985 will be meeting with the School District's architects and site planners to best determine which 10 of the 30 acre parcel would be suitable for park space. This is neither a commitment or an agreement for the City to purchase 10 acres, however, would provide the City with an opportunity to acquire this parkland because of pending developments in the area. Members expressed an opinion that the City should proceed with this acquisition and are anxious to make a recommendation based on fact and desirability of the park space. 6. Annual Picnic Carolyn Thurston indicated the Commission should discuss its annual picnic for date, time and location. Chairman Martin indicated that he would like to see the Commission have a second meeting in July to tour the parks and ask that the Commission discuss this at that time. Thurston agreed that this would be appropriate. It was agreed by the Advisory Commission to meet on Thursday, July 25, 6:30 P.M. at the Eagan Municipal Center for the purpose of visiting the construction sites and on -going development program. Further, Commission will discuss the annual picnic at that time. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to conduct, on a motion be Fedde, seconded by Ketcham, the Advisory Commission was adjourned at 11:25 P.M. Dated Advisory Parks Recreation Commission Secretary CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT SPANDE 7TH ADDITION APPLICANT: ROY SPANDE LOCATION: PART OF GOVERNMENT LOT 7, SWa OF SECTION 4 EXISTING ZONING: R -1, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 23 1985 DATE OF REPORT: JULY 15, 1985 REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING Depts APPLICATION SUBMITTED: A-n application has been submitted requesting Preliminary Plat approval for the Spande 7th Addition which would consist of approx. 3.4 acres and contain 4 single family lots in the part of the SW4, Section 4, lying south of Highview Av. east of T.H. #13. COMMENTS: Presently there exists an old farm house which contains approx. 3.4 acres. The applicant has indicated he would like to rehabilitate the existing structure and break off between 2 and 3 additional lots in order to help his son offset some of the costs of this development proposal. The existing farm structure would be rehabilitated and owned by the son of the applicant and potentially lots 3 4 would be sold off to pay for this development. In review of this proposal, Highview AV is blacktopped with bitu- minous curb, also Bridgeview Terrace is surfaced but only with bituminous curb. The streets have a surface width that are not upgraded to the standards for a new subdivision. The one issue that was brought out at the Staff meeting is how much should be required of this subdivision to upgrade the streets to the present City standards. In review' of this plat, the four (4) lots on the 3.4 acres are of substantial size and meet or exceed the adjacent lots in the surrounding area. This plat should compliment the lot sizes which border on Highveiw AV and the eastside of Bridgeview Terrace. It appears that there are existing homes in the area and also some infiltration of new construction on these larger lots. Therefore, the remodeling of the existing farm and the creation of the two new lots should not distract from the general aesthetics of the neighborhood. It appears that the Engineering Dept. has more concerns as to which area should be serviced with sanitary sewer and what streets should be upgraded with the approval of the subdivision. PRELIMINARY PLAT SPANDE 7TH ADDITION JULY 23, 1985 PAGE 2 GRADING /DRAINAGE: Even though the existing topography is quite rugged, this site requires very little grading because of develop- ment into four large single family lots. Drainage over this site is westerly. Two large ravines meet near Highway 13 and characterize the drainage pattern for this site. The northerly ravine (paralleling the existing driveway) conveys storm water from a temporary 24 inch CMB culvert. This culvert collects storm water from Bridgeview Terrace. This development will not require the construction of any additional storm sewer facilities at this time. SANITARY SEWER: Sanitary sewer exists within Bridgeview Terrace and also within Highview Avenue. This line consists of a 9" vitrified clay pipe (VCP). The sanitary sewer located within Bridgeview Terrace will serve the following basement elevations': Lot 2 785 Lot 3 785 Lot 4 787 The sanitary sewer in Highview Avenue is deep enough to easily service Lot 1. The Staff recommends the installation of the sanitary sewer services to each lot as a condition of final plat approval for this develop'- ment. WATERMAIN: An 8" diameter water line located within Bridgeview' Terrace will be able to provide service to this development. Staff also recommends installation of the water services,,, along with the sanitary sewer services to each lot proposed within this development. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: Currently the right-of-way for Bridgeview Terrace and Highview Avenue consists of Highway Easement Document 290235. Staff recommends that this development dedicate a 30.' half right -of -way for both Bridgeview Terrace and Highview Avenue' on the final plat rather then maintain the street right -of -way as a highway easement. Staff recommends dedication of a drainage and utility easement along the southerly boundary of the proposed development to provide for a proposed trunk storm sewer line servicing the Highview Park and Highview Acres area. Figure 1 depicts the portion of the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan that applies to this: proposed. development. Staff recommends a minimum width of 30' for this easement. Staff does not anticipate any further additional. PRELIMINARY PLAT SPANDE 7TH ADDITION JULY 23, 1985 PAGE 3 easements other than the easements required by code. STREETS: Existing streets bordering this development consist of Bridgeview Terrace on the east and Highview Avenue on the north. Classification of these streets are residential, however, the construction of these streets is not in conformance with City requirements for residential streets. Specifically, these streets do not have concrete curb and gutter and it is questionable whether they were built to the adequate street section for resi- dential streets. Also, these streets are quite old and will need reconstruction in the near future. Therefore, in accordance with City policy, the cost for concrete curb and gutter installation and street overlay are to be assessed to benefitted property. Staff recommends prepayment of these street assessments in order to reduce possible future assessment administration and possible future disagreements. The assessment portion of this report will cover this item as to estimated cost of the street assessments. ASSESSMENTS: In researching. the assessment records, Staff found that the only outstanding assessment not levied was for trunk area storm sewer. Therefore, this development will be responsible for the trunk area storm sewer assessment at the rates in effect at the time of final platting. Using 1985 rates, this amounts to $6,690.00 (139,382 sq. ft. x $0.048 /sq. ft.). In addition Staff recommends this development prepay its future street reconstruction assessment. Staff estimates this to be $16.50 /front ft. Staff estimates the assessable front footage to be 870. This amounts to an estimated street reconstruction assessment of $14,355.00. Both the above assessments can be paid at the time of final platting or spread over 15 years at an assessment rate determined by the latest bond sale. CONDITIONS: Spande 7th Addition 1. People purchasing lots 2, 3 4 should be made aware of air traffic noise and that proper insulation should be required in the construction of the new dwellings. 2. The plat should be subject to the Park Commission's review and comment for park dedication. 3. All standard plat conditions shall be adhered to. 4. Sanitary sewer and water services shall be construct into each lot. 5. A 30' half right -of -way shall be dedicated on the final plat for both Bridgeview Terrace and Aighview Ave. 6. A 30' drainage utility easement along the southerly boundary of the proposed development shall be dedicated to 'provide for a future trunk storm sewer line. 7. This development shall be responsible for trunk area` storm sewer and street reconstruction assessments at the rates in effect at the time of final platting. 8. All applicable standard engineering conditions should be adhered to. f w CZ IT r s f Purr 301.35 M Fns.

(BRADLEY SWENSON JIM CURRY) LOCATION: OUTLOT C, WEDGWOOD 1ST ADDITION SECTION 26 EXISTING ZONING: R -2 (MIXED RESIDENTIAL 3 TO 6 DWELLING UNITS /ACRE UNDER LEXINGTON SO. P.D. DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 23, 1985 DATE OF REPORT: JULY 15, 1985 REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING DEPTS. APPLICATION SUBMITTED: ­An application has been submitted requesting Preliminary Plat approval for Wedgwood 2nd Addition consisting of approx. 10 acres and containing 22 single family lots located on Outlot C, Wedgwood lst Addition, Section 26. COMMENTS: Presently the parcel is zoned R -2 under the Lexington South Planned Development. This would allow development to take place within the range of 3 6 dwelling units per acre. The Comp. Guide Plan has also designated this parcel as an R -2, mixed residential, with a density of 3 6 Dwelling units /acre. The applicant is proposing to develop at a gross density of 2.2 Dwelling units /acre or a net density of approx. 2.5 2.7 units /acre. Therefore, this application is slightly less than the densities allowed in the Comp. Guide and the zoning for the parcel. Outlot C, Wedgwood Addition, is a parcel that is surrounded to the north by an existing highline trail and park and the property directly east and west has been dedicated to the City for park and open space requirements for the Lex. South P.D. The track of land has physical boundaries on all four sides. Besides the physical boundaries, there is much vegetation, two very low de- pressions and sever topography on the site. The applicant is proposing to develop a loop street to provide access to the 22 single family lots. In the preliminary review, it appears that a substantial amount of fill would be required to develop this parcel in accordance with the development plan. All but one of the lots meet the 12,000 S.F. plus category and all lots, except two, have a minimum of 85' lot width at the 30' setback. The applicant is proposing to develop a loop street which would make all access internal and only two points of entry onto Wilder- ness Run Rd. The lots appear to be oversized in order to accomodate the topography and vegetation as much as possible. Fill will still be required in order to make this development work. PRELIMINARY PLAT WEDGWOOD 2ND ADDITION JULY 23, 1985 PAGE 2. UTILITIES DRAINAGE: There is sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer service available to serve this development. The City will require an updated drainage and storm sewer plan with contours at 2' intervals indicating how this property will drain and shall be prepared by a registered engineer and submitted to the City for approval. The storm water runoff from this development is proposed to drain to Pond LP -50, which is located just to the east of this proposed development on park property. The storm sewer outlet pipe shall be constructed to 891.5 elevation and constructed to Pond LP -50. CITY TRAIL: The City's Comprehensive Trail System indicates that there is to be a trail constructed along the north side of Wilderness Run Rd, which will be the responsibility of this development. This item will be reviewed by the Park Commission. STREETS: Access to this proposed plat is by Wilderness "Run Rd which borders the south side of this development. The City will require a plan that indicates that the east entrance, of the Hidden Valley Dr entrance onto wilderness Run Rd will .line up with the east entrance of Waterford Dr of the Wedgwood First Addition. EASEMENTS /RIGHT -OF -WAY: The City will require utility and drainage,' easements ten feet (10') in width adjoining all streets and five`, feet (5') in width adjoining side and rear lot lines. The City will require utility easements a minimum of twenty (20 in width for all public utilities not constructed within the street right -of way. This item will be reviewed again when the utility; plans for this subdivision have been submitted along with the final plat. EROSION CONTROL GRADING PLAN: The developer shall submit an erosion and sediment control plan to the City for review, and approval, the City will require an enviro fence. along the easterly'- property line of this proposed plat between Pond LP- 50.and this development. The developer shall submit a grading ,`plan indicating the existing and proposed contours at 2' intervals with drainage`. arrows indicating how this property will drain. ASSESSMENTS: In reviewing the assessments levied over this proposed development which consists of Outlot C of the Wedgwood lst Addition, it was found that all trunk related assessments have been levied... All future costs for public improvements shall be the sole responsi- bility of this development. CONDITIONS: Wedgwood 2nd Addition 1.

Voss, Planning Consultant APPLICATION SUMMARY: The preliminary plat Sun Cliff Third Addition would provide for the platting of an approximate 13.5 acre area. The developer proposes five (5) double bungalow lots along Deer Hills Trail and four (4) townhome multiple dwelling buildings over the remainder of the property. Each of these townhome buildings would be on a separate lot and each would provide for twelve (12) dwelling units for••a total of 48 multiple dwelling units. No public street dedication would be required in that the public streets for this property already exist in the area. The developer would provide for an internal private drive to serve the multiple dwelling units. ZONING AND LAND USE: The property was originally zoned Multiple R -4 several years ago and was included in the Eagan Hills West Planned Development in 1978. Under the Planned Development Agreement, the property is designated for Medium Density with a range of nine (9) to twelve (12) dwelling units per acre. The proposed development would average 4.3 units per acre for this 13.5 acre area. Therefore, the proposed density would be below that allowed under the Planned Development Agreement. Also, this area is designa- ted R -III in Eagan's Comprehensive Plan which would provide for six (6) to twelve (12) units per acre. CODE COMPLIANCE: It appears that the proposed multiple dwelling development would meet the minimum requirements of City Orainances. The five double bungalows., alon.g Deer Hills Trail, would not meet the normal R -2 District requirements for two family dwellings. Normally, a minimum one hundred foot (100') width and 15,000 square foot area would be provided where four (4) of the proposed lots are approximately 85 feet wide and the five lots range in area from 10,560 square feet to 14,400 square feet. Deviations from the normal R -2 requirements can be provided in that this property is zoned R -4 Planned Development and the overall density is below that permitted by the Planned Development Agreement: The proposed two family lots would appear capable of accommodating the double bungalow units that are proposed for the property and the proposed units would meet the minimum setback requirements. N Planning Report City of Eagan Subject: Preliminary Plat Sun Cliff Third Addition Applicant: Patrick Hoffman and Bob Carlson Date: July 17, 1985 Reported by: John S. Voss, Planning Consultant Page 2 SITE PLANNING The property appears to be well- designed and in keeping develop- ment that exists in the area. The developer proposes a four -stall garage that would be separated from the multiple dwelling units by approximately 120 feet near the intersection of Beaver Dam Road and Diffley Road. It is expected that these spaces would be used by persons living in the multiple dwelling units or by the home owner's association. The building does not appear to pose a problem, but its location, away from the main structures, is somewhat unusual. The property is encumbered by a 70 foot wide gas easement and a ponding area which, to a large degree, accounts for the low density.

Voss, Planning Consultant APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted for a rezoning of an approximate 13.69 acre area from Agricultural to Planned Development. A second application has been submitted for a Preliminary Plat in order to subdivide the area into eight (8) single family lots and five (5) multiple dwelling lots. Each of the multiple dwelling lots would be developed with an "eightplex" for a_total of 40 multiple dwelling units on the five (5) lots. The preliminary plat also provides for a local residential street which would extend from Lone Oak Road on the north to Towerview Road on the south. ZONING AND LAND USE: The proposed rezoning from Agricultural to Planned Develop- ment is consistent with Eagan's Comprehensive Plan in that this property is designated for Residential R -II development. This would permit three (3) to six (6) units per acre which would be a range of 41 to 82 dwelling units over this 13.69 acre parcel. The developer is proposing 40 multiple dwelling units and eight (8) single family homes for a total of 48 units. This property would also be subject to the City's Shoreland Management Ordinance #77. It appears that the provisions of this Ordinance are met except for the minimum lot area requirements of 10,000 square feet per unit for waterfront multiple dwellings on "General Development Waters" as provided in Section 77.03-of the above referenced Ordi- nance. This matter will have to be reviewed with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as provided by the Ordinance. CODE COMPLIANCE: It appears that the preliminary plat complies with the minimum require- ments of Eagan City Codes with the exception of the Shoreland Ordinance as referenced above. Planning Report City of Eagan Subject: Rezoning and Preliminary Plat Applicant: Al Kempf July 17, 1985 Reported by: John S. Voss, Planning Consultant Page 2 SITE PLANNING: The shape of this parcel and proximity to Le-May Lake and surrounding' streets pose some development problems. Several development schemes, have-been sub- mitted for this property over the past several years. This proposal, titled "LeMay's Lake Development appears to be well- designed. It provides for a public street through the property. It also provides single family homes across the street from those which currently exist on Towerview Road. It also provides a single 'family home adjacent to the existing home at the intersection of Lone Oak Road and Pilot Knob Road. The remainder of this site would be developed with relatively small (eight unit) dwel- ling units backing upon LeMay Lake. Some of the lots along Towerview Road would have double frontages which is not desirable, however, this cannot be avoided if a through street is to be provided. Also, the through street would parallel Pilot Knob Road for approximately 450 feet and would be at an elevation considerably below Pilot Knob Road. As such, a planting screen should be provided in addition to the change in elevation so that traffic along Pilot Knob Road is not confused by the adjacent traffic flow along the internal street. Also, it appears that the proposed parking areas on Lots #6 and #7 of Block #2 would not meet the minimum 20 foot setback requirement of °the Eagan Zoning Ordinance. Either this would have to be redesigned or a Variance would have to be obtained from the City. CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: LEMAY LAKE HILLS, PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICANT: AL KEMPF LOCATION: NW4 OF THE NWa OF SECT. 10, N. OF TOWERVIEW RD. EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURE) TO P.D. (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 23, 1985 DATE OF REPORT: JULY 18, 1985 REPORTED BY: ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT GRADING /DRAINAGE: The grading as proposed by this developer is feasible. However, it will require the construction of 600 ft. of retaining wall adjacent Pilot Knob Road. The retaining wall height varies but the northern portion is approximately 13 ft. high. Other aspects of this grading plan include a maximum of an 8% street grade off of Lone Oak Road. (Although this is not shown as such, the. developer did not show a 20 landing area at Lone Oak Road. Incorporating this results in an 8% grade.) Also, several areas of 3 to 1 slopes are required to incorporate this grading plan. Although none of the above factors are in excess of City Codes, staff felt they are at least worth mentioning. The proposed grading plan will slightly alter the existing drainage pattern over this site. About two thirds of this site will drain into the public. street. Proposed catch basins at the street low point over the existing storm sewer outlet line from LeMay Lake will collect this runoff. The remaing one -third will continue to drain into LeMay Lake. Therefore, it is important that the developer submits a detailed erosion control plan for review by staff so that erosion- and sedimentation into LeMay Lake is kept to an absolute minimum. Because the trunk storm sewer outlet from LeMay Lake is in place, in addition to all downstream trunk storm sewer, this development will not require any further extension or upgrading of trunk storm sewer facilities. SANITARY SEWER: This development proposes to extend sanitary sewer from the existing 8 sanitary sewer line located about in the middle of this development. This is feasible because the existing sanitary sewer is of sufficient. depth and capacity to allow these extensions. Staff recommends that sewer be extended to provide service to the existing house. tl PRELIMINARY PLAT LEMAY LAKE HILLS JULY 23, 1985 PAGE 2 This development will not require any upgrading or installation of new trunk sanitary sewer facilities. WATER MAIN: This development proposes to connect the existing 6" water main within Towerview Road and loop it through to connect to an existing 16" water main within Lone Oak Road. Both existing lines are of sufficient size and capacity to allow this looping. This development will not require any trunk water main improvements. STREETS: Towerview Road, Pilot Knob Road and Lone Oak Road border this development on its south, west and north, respectively.' Towerview Road is designated as a City residential street. Pilot Knob Road and Lone Oak Road are designated as major collector streets and under the jurisdiction of the Dakota County Highway Department. Although the classification of Towerview Road is as a residential street, it is not up to City standards. As a condition of this proposed development, the upgrading of Towerview Road to City standards should occur. This will require the paving and ihstalla tion of concrete curb and gutter for on Towerview Road. The proposed public street connecting Towerview Road and Lone Oak Road shall be a residential street built to City standards.; Because of the grade +differences between Pilot Knob Road and the proposed internal 'public street, staff does not feel ;the.'. close proximity of each will pose problems. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: Right -of -way for Pilot Knob Road and Towerview Road exist as highway easements. Staff' proposesded ication of right -of -way as follows: Street R Right-of-Way Width Pilot Knob Road 55 ft. Lone Oak Road 60 ft. Towerview Road 30 ft. The developer of this area is proposing to dedicate a 50 ''ft. wide right -of -way for the internal street. Because this internal:; street is serving only this development, staff agrees with ;thee developer proposal for the 50 ft. dedication. Staff will require easements over the sanitary sewer and, water, main not located within public right -of -way. These easements' must be a minimum of 30' in width. All other easements required shall be in accordance with City Code. PRELIMINARY PLAT LEMAY LAKE HILLS JULY 23, 1985 PAGE 4 CONDITIONS: 1) The developer will be responsible for constructing the necessary guardrail /handrail between the retaining wall and the bike path along Pilot Knob Road. 2) The sanitary sewer shall be extended northerly to provide service to the existing house. 3) The upgrading of Towerview Rd. shall be approved prior to final plat approval. 4) A 55 ft. half right -of -way for Pilot Knob Rd., a 60' half right -of -way for Lone Oak Rd., and a 30' half right -of -way for Toweverview Rd. shall be dedicated on the final plat. 5) A 30' width utility easement will be required over sanitary sewer and watermain not located within public right -of -way. 6) This development shall be responsible for trunk area watermain and the upgrading of trunk area storm sewer assessments from single family to muti family at the rates in effect at the time of final plating. 7) All costs associated with this development regarding internal public improvements will be the sole responsibility of this development. 8) Park Dedication requirements shall be satisfied as recommended by the Eagan Park Commission and approved by the City Council. 9) The developer shall submit a detailed landscape plan providing for a solid screen for the approximate 450 foot area where the proposed internal street parallels Pilot Knob Rd. prior to the approval of the final plat. 10) The developer shall provide a name for the proposed internal street. 11) All provisions of Eagan's Shoreland Ordinance #77, including density, shall be met prior to the approval of the final plat. 12) The minimum setback requirements for parking areas shall be met prior to approval of the final plat. 13) The preliminary plat shall be approved by the Dakota County Plat Committee prior to the approval of the final plat by the City. 14) A detailed landscape plan for the multiple dwelling area shall be submitted to the City staff and approved prior to the issuance of any building permits. PRELIMINARY PLAT LEMAY LAKE HILLS JULY 23, 1985 PAGE 3 ASSESSMENT: Research into the assessment regarding this site indicate this site is still responsible for trunk area watermain and upgrading of trunk area storm sewer from residential to multiple rates.

This development would allow one garden hotel, three office buildings and 10,000 sq. ft. of retail services located in part of the SE4 of the NE4 of Section 4. The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat approval of the Wyndham Corporate Center lst Addition with 4.95 acres and consists of one lot for garden hotel facility and one outlot consisting of approximately 16.49 acres for develop- ment. COMMENTS: The development plan, Eagan Woods, which was the property Trammel Crow had purchased first, is the parcel directly north of the parcel for consideration. The P.D. now submitted would contain a total of 21.43 acres and is just south of the property they had previously purchased. The P.D. Eagan Woods,to the north, consisted of two office buildings and a hotel is now being considered for development as an all office complex or three office buildings vs. the hotel. Therefore, Eagan Woods P.D. would now consist of a single use of office on the property to the north. The Wyndham Corporate Center, the P.D. now under consideration, is the old MPCA property which Trammel Crow has purchased and added to their land holdings in this general area. In review of this P.D. is the location where they have chosen to locate the hotel complex instead of the property to the north. The planned development submitted would consist of 21.43 acres and contain one hotel, three office buildings, which would range from 41,000 sq. ft. to 66,500 sq. ft., and a one story 10,000 sq. ft. retail facility to provide support facilities to this office and hotel complex. The total land development would consist of one hotel, two three -story office buildings, one two -story office building, and one one -story retail building for a total of 5 buildings in this planned development. REZONING PRELIMINARY PLAT WYNDHAM CORPORATE CENTER JULY 23, 1985 PAGE 2 The first phase of the development is proposed to be the two story garden hotel. The facility is proposed to consist of 134 guest rooms, 2300 sq. ft. of meeting space and a 98 seat restaurant and lounge facility. The parking spaces required for this restaurant /hotel facility would be 200. The applicants are proposing to provide 158 spaces noting that they feel there is an overlap between the rooms, restaurant, and meeting spaces that their past history for parking spaces is less then what we are requiring. The applicants are proposing to provide an additional 46 spaces in a proof of parking plan for a total of 204 parking spaces which could be provided if required by the City. Access to this P.D. would be from the major access at Eagan Industrial Boulevard, Eagan Woods Drive, and Pilot Knob Road. The same access which is serving Eagan Woods, the development to the north, is also the same road access which is serving Wyndham Corporate Center. The access and traffic circulation is the same as what was originally proposed to the north and now the concept of continuing the loop street system around to the south and back out to the original point of entry. The hotel facility will be located in the central area or the heart of the development plan. The Preliminary Plat submitted would only allow Lot 1,' Block 1, Wyndham Corporate Center, to start the preliminary plat process. As stated earlier in this report Lot 1 is `the location of the garden hotel which they plan to construct as their first phase. The remaining four buildings will be platted as an outlot and replatted and a detailed site plan submitted with each phase of development. GRADING /DRAINAGE: The grading for Phase l (proposed hotel) appears to be in conformance with all City Codes. Where storm water runoff cannot be conveyed directly into nearby storm sewer, the developer proposes on providing temporary ponds for sediment/ erosion control. These temporary ponds will assist greatly in controlling erosion on the westerly portion of this site where the steepest grades and roughest terrain exists. The installation of storm sewer with the Eagan Woods Boulevard construction will provide an outlet for storm water collected over, the eastern half of this proposed development. This storm water eventually discharges to a detention pond constructed with the Eagan Woods Office Park Addition. This "proposed development will not require the installation of any trunk storm sewer. REZONING PRELIMINARY PLAT WYNDHAM CORPORATE CENTER JULY 23, 1985 PAGE 3 SANITARY SEWER: This development proposes to extend an 8" sanitary sewer from the "North Interceptor" south along Pilot Knob Road. This proposed layout is not in conformance with the City's Compre- hensive Sewer Plan. As shown on Figure 1, this development was to be included in sanitary sewer subdistrict N -J. By servicing this development as proposed, sanitary sewer subdistrict N -J will decrease in area and sanitary sewer subdistrict N -K will increase in area. However, because the MWCC "North Interceptor" is the ultimate recipient of waste water from either sanitary sewer subdistrict, staff does not feel the proposed sanitary sewer extension will cause any problems. Because the location of the sanitary sewer extension is within Dakota County Highway° right -of -way for Pilot Knob Road, this development will need to acquire a permit from the Dakota County Highway Department for utility construction within Dakota County right -of -way. Also, this development will require a permit from the MWCC to connect to its "North Interceptor." Staff does not anticipate any difficulties in obtaining either permit. The developer will be responsible for obtaining both permits as a condition of final plat approval. WATER MAIN: The Eagan Woods Office Park Addition project included extension of an existing 12" water main across Pilot Knob Road from Corporate Center Drive. The location of this water main is within Eagan Woods Boulevard and terminates at Eagan Woods Drive. This water main is of sufficient size and capacity to provide service to this development. Staff does recommend the southern extension of this water main to the end of the radius located in the southeast corner of Lot 1, Block 1. The reason for this extension is that staff will be recommending the extension of Eagan Woods Boulevard southerly from the entrance drive to this point. This development will not require any extensions or upgrading of trunk water or sanitary sewer. STREETS: Again, Eagan Woods Office Park Addition project is providing for the construction of Eagan Woods Boulevard. This street will provide access to Lot 1, Block 1. However, staff recommends that Eagan Woods Boulevard be extended southerly from the entrance onto Pilot Knob Road to the end of the radius located at the southeast corner of Lot 1, Block 1. This extension will pick up traffic from the proposed southerly driveway of the motel. This street extension shall be built to City standards, that is a 36 ft. wide curb and gutter street built to 9 -ton loading status. REZONING PRELIMINARY PLAT WYNDHAM CORPORATE CENTER JULY 23, 1985 d PAGE 4 i RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: Staff recommends the dedication of adequate right -of -way for Eagan Woods Boulevard located in the .northeast' corner of Lot 1, Block 1. In addition, staff recommends the.- dedication of a 60 ft. right -of -way for the curve located 'at the southeast corner of this lot. Staff does not recommend any further easements other than the easements required by code. ASSESSMENTS: Staff researched the assessment records and found that this development is responsible for trunk area water main; and storm sewer assessments.

With this direction, Staff worked with the applicants in the revision to the land use in this general area and revised the plan accordingly. The resubmission now includes three commercial lots which all contain approximately 40,000 sq. ft., or one acre, that could be used for any type of limited business use. Therefore, the land use with the church, the three commercial lots, and the office building east of Rahn Cliff should all be compatible within this general area. The applicant has also extended Rahn Road to the south providing access to the ponding area and to the park and also tied the two roads, Vienna Lane and Pin Oak Drive, into the overall circulation plan. The second portion of the plan would now allow for 20 duplex lots which would border the southern property line of the church and would also extend southerly on both sides of Vienna Lane. The only problem Staff sees with this request is the 100 foot width on Lot 3,Blk 4, not being met. The applicant has proposed a 98 ft. width by 31,000 sq. ft. which is twice the size of a duplex lot. The applicant would require a two foot front variance for this particular lot. If approved the plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1) A detailed landscape plan should be submitted when the detailed site plan of the church has been submitted for review. The screening of buffering should be reviewed at that time. 2) The plat should be reviewed by the Eagan Park Commission in regard to access to the City park. 3) The developer shall meet all standard plat conditions for this development. 4) A two foot variance should be allowed for Lot 3, Block 4 or the lot should be shifted in order to allow for the 100 foot width. MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: ASST CITY ENGINEER RICHARD HEFTI DATE: JULY 18, 1985 SUBJECT: RAHN RIDGE ENGINEERING REPORT In reviewing the revised drawings submitted by the developers of this site, the Engineering Department has no additional concerns from the June 17, 1985 report. However,, Staff would like to take this opportunity to incorporate the Addendum to this report, prepared June 24, 1985. This Addendum consisted of .clarifying the Assessment paragraph and list of Engineering Conditions for this proposed Preliminary Plat. Attached is the subject Addendum. MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION C/O DALE C RUNKLE FROM: ACTING CITY ENGINEER HEFTI DATE: JUNE 24, 1985 SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT REPORT ADDENDUM ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS PRELIMINARY PLAT RAHN RIDGE Assessments The trunk area watermain assessment amount due should be changed to reflect the church area being assessed under the residential rate of $1,190 per acre. Therefore, the total trunk area watermain due is equal to $13,947 (11.72 acres x $1,190 per acre). Conditions 1. A 60' right -of -way shall be dedicated for public streets. 2. This development shall petition the City for the installation of the necessary trunk storm sewer outlet for Pond AP -29. Also, the overflow outlet to Pond AP -11 must also be under construction. 3. This development will be responsible for its trunk area water main and trunk area storm sewer assessments at the rates in affect at the time of final platting. 4. Because this development lies within 2 different water pressure zones, there shall be no connections between these pressure zones. 5. With the exception of trunk storm sewer outlet construction, all costs for all other street and utility constructions will be the sole responsibility of this development.

NO I I IL MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DOROTHY PETERSON, RECREATION SUPERVISOR DATE: JULY 30, 1985 RE: PLEASURE SKATING RINK LEXINGTON PARK ISSUE: During the course of the last several skating seasons, it has been noted that the pleasure skating rink at Lexington Park is seldom used. In view of the number of man hours required to create and maintain a pleasure skating rink, the question arises as to if the department should continue to provide this facility at this park location. BACKGROUND: Skating facilities at Lexington Park There are two rinks provided at Lexington Park. A hockey rink is provided and is set up each season using temporary hockey boards. The hockey rink is of reduced size of approximately 150 x 75 feet. This size is necessary due to the narrow configuration of the site and the lime infield of the adjacent ballfield. The pleasure rink is established immediately to the south of the hockey rink requiring extensive berm material in order to create a skating surface. A steep sloped area extends to First Street and the undulating nature of the turf dictates the amount of berm in order to hold in the water. RINK USAGE: No hockey team practices are scheduled at this park site. Neighborhood residents are the primary users. Previous to the 1984 -85 skating season, attendance at Lexington Park was considered to be low. However, during the 1984 -85 season attendance was high for a site that is classified as Class C, averaging 25 -30 skating during the counting period at 7:30 P.M. Generally, three to six of the identified skaters were pleasure skaters. Rink attendants report that these pleasure skaters seldom use the open skating area, preferring to utilize an end of the hockey rink. Apparently, the usual practice is that pick up hockey players place one hockey net on one goal line, the other at center ice. The end of the hockey rink without the net then becomes the pleasure skating surface. Staff would surmise that because of better lighting, better skating surface and desire to be close to the action of hockey, pleasure skaters are generally attracted to this end of the rink. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: Due to the uneven turf, it takes longer to establish ice suitable for skating on the pleasure rink than on the hockey rink. Also, the lighting fixtures are better over the hockey rink than the open skating area. The warming house in Lexington Park services the McKee Addition and more than any other neighborhood in the City becomes a winter gathering place for youngsters. Many individuals come without skates on a daily basis and leaders are directed to encourage them to bring their skates or "visit" for only a brief time. Generally, it is noted that this area consists of older youths who make use of the skating facilities and are primarily interested in hockey. It also appears that the combination of time that it takes to establish ice suitable for skating, and limited lighting as well as other factors, may contribute to the lack of use of the pleasure skating rink at Lexington. It should also be noted that during the 1978 -79 skating season a pleasure rink was omitted at the Lexington Park site. Reports indicate that one call of complaint was received concerning this. However, individuals in the neighborhood informally made known their disappointment that the skating rink was omitted indicating that other neighborhoods did have a pleasure rink and therefore, Lexington should have one also. At issue was the apparent desire to provide equal facilities for this park. It is noted that neighhborhood parks which are similar in size such as Evergreen and Country Home have a pleasure rink only with minimal lighting and no warming houses. Since the 1978 -79 skating season, the department has provided a pleasure skating rink each year. COST TO MAINTAIN The department does not keep cost records for individual park locations in terms of facilities provided. However, it is generally known and agreed that skating rinks are one of the more costly programs and facilities that a City does provide for with its recreational programs. Mindful of the costs involved, department staff is questioning the economics of providing this facility because of its limited usage. SUMMATION: The pleasure skating rink at Lexington Park is seldom used with any degree of regularity. Staff requests direction from the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission regarding the Lexington Park skating facility and whether the facility should be maintained as in the past, or other alternatives including its elimination, should be considered. Respectfully submitted, Director of Parks Recreation KV/ j s
