City /District #196 Park School Site MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: JULY 9, 1985 SUBJECT: JULY 11 COMMISSION MEETING After the approval of the minutes and the agenda for June 6, there are seven items under development proposals for Commission review and action. Lexington Place South 2nd Addition has been reviewed by the Advisory Commission previously. City Council has referred this back to the Advisory Commission for review and action. Please review the enclosed memorandum and related planning information relative to this preliminary plat. R.J. O'Neill rezoning was deferred from the June 6 Commission meeting. Again, staff has prepared a separate memorandum covering relative issues in regards to parks with this rezoning. Separate memorandums have been prepared for items 3, 4 and 5 on the agenda. Relative to Rahn Ridge Addition, a change is being proposed which came about as a result of Advisory Planning Commission's action. The Parks Commission will be updated relative to these changes at the June 6 meeting, following a planning and review meeting now scheduled between the writing of this memorandum and the Commission's meeting. Item 6 is a commercial development adjacent to Comsery Corporation. This development would be subject to a cash dedication requirement. Item 7 is the Easter Lutheran Church expansion project. The Commission has previously made a policy statement in which church property would be exempt from parks dedication fees. OLD BUSINESS There is only one item under Old Business which is Athletic Field Lighting Policy. Again, a separate memorandum and a draft policy has been prepared as directed by the Commission. NEW BUSINESS The first item under New Business is the development of the 1986 Parks Recreation Department Budget. The City Administrator and Finance Director have distributed to staff on July 1 the worksheets for the preparation of the upcoming years budget. The budget calendar requests that department budgets be submtted by August 2. Consequently, discussion and input from the Advisory Commission concerning relative budget priorities and suggestions for inclusions into the operating budget for 1986 is solicited at this time. PARK DEVELOPMENT Under Park Development, staff will update the Advisory Commission on parks construction. Also enclosed is a brief memorandum which points to some problem areas that have been field resolved by staff. These changes have resulted, in some cases, in an improvement to the parks and in other cases 1 Advisory Parks Recreation July 9, 1985 additional expense incurred which we bring to your attention at this time as a matter of record and information. Because of priorities associated with the parks construction and other issues, the analysis and review of alternative athletic site locations is behind schedule. Efforts are being made to provide at least a brief analysis of alternative site areas which might be viewed as possible alternatives for the third athletic location. A complete scope of services and an architectural contract has been completed with the firm of Schwantz -Weber Architects. Staff has previously met with the architects on two separate occasions to begin the process of viewing and program review for the park site locations. A time line is to be completed by staff as the firm begins the review and schematic design phase. A Monday, July 15, meeting is scheduled. OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS Staff will update the Commission on a number of other items, of which a joint School /City purchase for property in Section 14 will be presented. This is to be an "informal" review with a formal presentation in August /September. Respectfully submitted, Director of Parks Recreation KV /jj 2 MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS RECREATON COMMISSION EAGAN MINNESOTA JUNE 6, 1985 SUBJECT TO APPROVAL The meeting was called to order by Chairman Martin at 7:10 P.M. Commission members present were: Martin, Masin, Alt, Fedde, Bertz, Ketcham, Thurston, Carroll and Caponi. George Kubik had notified the Commission he would be unable to attend. Staff present were: Parks Recreation Director, Ken Vraa; Landscape Architect, Steve Sullivan; Assistant Planner, Greg Ingraham; Parks Intern, Scott Morgan and Administrative Assistant, Liz Witt. AGENDA Chairman Martin added discussion of a second June meeting to Other Business. Richard Carroll moved, Caponi seconded, the approval of the agenda as amended. The motion carried. MINUTES OF MAY 2, 1985 Mike Fedde moved, Masin seconded, the minutes of May 2 be approved as presented. All voted in favor. C. Sunset 8th Addition DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS A. Lexington Place South 2nd Addition Assistant Planner Greg Ingraham, informed the Commission that the Council and the Planning Commission recommended denial of the proposal as presented. The developers were told to reconfigure the plat and bring it back to the Council. Greg said there may be construction in the two outlots but just what it will be is not known as yet. After further discussion, Commission member Caponi moved, seconded by Thurston, the following: The Parks Recreation Commission supported the Council's rejection of the proposal as presented. The Commission still prefers that the outlots be designated open space with no additional lots. However, the Commission is supportive of redrawing the lot lines through the outlots. If the Council decides that additional lots may be created, then the Commission requests that the Council refer the proposal back to the Commission for further consideration. All voted in favor. B. Eagles Nest Village Eagles Nest is a preliminary plat for 14 townhouses, half of which would be handicap accessible. The units would be owner occupied. The Planning Commission recommended approval. Chairman Martin moved, Fedde seconded, the recommendation for cash dedication for the units and a blacktop trail along Rahn Road. The motion carried. This item is essentially a lot split with two additional lots being created. The Planning Commission has given approval. Mike Fedde moved, Carroll seconded the recommendation to accept cash dedication. All voted in favor. D. O'Neil Center R.J. O'Neil Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. June 6, 1985 Planner Ingraham provided background on the proposed O'Neil zoning request. He went on to say the proposal calls for a rezoning of 100 acres from A to a P.U.D. on a site between Lexington and 35E and north of Yankee Doodle Road. There would be multiple housing, office warehouse and roadside business in the plat. There are also several ponding areas to be created. After some initial discussion, Director of Parks Recreation Vraa reviewed the issues before the Advisory Commission based on three basic alternatives. Director Vraa noted there is a possibility for 240 apartment units, and from nearby parcels there is a possibility for 700 additional units. That means there would be almost 1000 units. A park may be needed to serve them. However, the plat could be entirely commercial in which case a park would not be needed. Another possibility would be the purchase of the Opus property for an athletic site, utilizing the south portion for a neighborhood park to serve the O'Neil property and existing R -3 zoning. Greg Ingraham said the Planning Commission had recommended denial of the proposal. He thought O'Neil would probably sell off the parcels and not act as a developer. Richard Carroll said the Commission would inform the Council that the entire rezoning does present potential problems for the City Park system and need for a close look. Chairman Martin commented that a plan was needed for the area. Director Vraa stated that the current R3 and R4 zoning and Comprehensive Guide Plan calls for a neighborhood -size park, but, if zoning changes, a park may not be needed. After discussion, Chairman Martin requested staff to prepare a study of the area and plan for a potential park which would be necessary if the land is residentially developed. He went on to say the consensus of the Commission is for this mini -study to help the Commission understand the issues better. E. Development Update Assistant Planner Ingrahamn informed the Commission of development proposals for June. R.L. Johnson is proposing a warehouse on the Comsery corner. The Woodhaven proposal, which had been presented to the Commission previously, now calls for townhouses and duplexes. A 26 -acre site south of the Western Court Facility is being proposed for duplexes and a church. Easter Lutheran Church plans a substantial addition to the church. A. Athletic Field Lighting Policy NEW BUSINESS Director Vraa provided a handout which addressed a lighting usage policy for the benefit of league operation and those residents who will abut the property in the future. He noted that some communities have a "lights out" at 11:00 p.m. with no deviations. Other cities are more flexible and allow games to be completed under certain conditions. He suggested the Commission consider an 11:00 p.m. event cut off, with no new inning beginning after this time. This provides for some flexibility. He also suggested that in drawing up schedules, no game or event be scheduled to begin after 9:45 p.m. This starting time would generally assure completion of a game by 11:00 p.m. The Commission discussed the need for a policy and generally agreed with Director Vraa. He was directed to write up the recommended option as a formal policy and bring it back to the Commission. A. Status Report: Parks Project B. Architect Selection PARKS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Landscape Architect Steve Sullivan summarized progress on the parks. He said the tennis courts were complete, play equipment was in at Highview Park and the next play structure is scheduled for Ridgecliff Park. The lights at Northview Park are scheduled to be checked for intensity, drop off and related functions. The play perimeter is soon to be constructed at Peridot Path Park. Staff has been closely monitoring Cinnamon Park as Zachman developers have not performed their job as agreed upon. The trail is to be started and some grading is to take place this week. Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. June 6, 1985 Steve noted that Rahn Park is at the finished grade and the site has been seeded. He said the Schwanz Lake, Walnut Hill and Goat Hill sites have been cleared and grubbed. Almost all of the erosion control with siltration fabric is in place. Top soil is being salvaged now. About seven feet of top soil was found in the pond and it is being mined out now. The pond will be 3 4 ft. deeper once the top soil is removed. Chariman Martin cautioned the staff to closely monitor the work to assure that erosion control is observed. Director Vraa said Carolyn Thurston, Richard Carroll, Tony Caponi and Ted Wachter interviewed several architects recently. The Interview Committee recommended the firm of Schwarz -Weber Architects as their choice, with the Council giving their approval at the June 4, 1985, meeting. Director Vraa plans to meet with the firm's representatives next week to work out a contract. The architects would like to meet with the Commission, and Director Vraa will try to set up a meeting date. He suggested the possibility of a second June meeting and will advise Commission members if that will be agreeble to the architects. C. Athletic Site Purchase Update Director Vraa said the owners of the Cliff /Highway 3 potential athletic site are asking $10,000 an acre, plus assessments, which calculates out to near $16,000 per useable acre. The total asking price is about $150,000 over the City's estimated value. He said that staff is continuing to look at other possible sites. Commission discussion focused on the desirability to have one large site rather than two smaller ones. Members generally agreed that negotiations should continue on the Cliff /Highway 3 site, but that staff should also consider new possibilities. It was suggested that land sale information sheets of recent sales be given to the owners and perhaps a modest increase in the offer price could be considered. These suggestions comprised a directive for Director Vraa. No motion was made. 3 C. Kehne House E. Next June Meeting If Needed Dated: OTHER Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. June 6, 1985 A. Set July Meeting Date Because the first Thursday in July falls on the 4th, the July meeting will be July 11. B. Maintenance Report Director Vraa included a maintenance update with the packet. He noted that much of parks crew time has been taking up with mowing. The athletic fields have been prepared including dragging and striping. Maintenance activities are behind schedule this spring due to the heavy crush of things which have to be done this time of year. Director Vraa said the Kehne House is now being rented to a young couple who have worked very hard to clean the building. He said the husband is a carpenter who will perform repair work in lieu of rent reduction. D. July 4 Celebration Committee Commission member Masin reported that the parade with have the 125th birthday theme. She said there will be a booth selling shirts, caps and other mementos. There will also be a turkey roast and volunteers are needed for that activity. The roast will be Saturday, July 6. Ticket sellers are also needed and she had a sign up sheet for those members interested. She noted there will be fireworks on the 4th and on the 6th with the "Eclectics" to perform on Saturday night. If the architects are ready, the Commission will schedule a second June meeting June 27 to discuss building ideas. If the meeting is held, it will be preceded by a tour of park sites under construction. ADJOURNMENT Sandy Masin moved, Ketcham seconded, the meeting be adjourned. Time of adjournment was 9:45. A Advisory Parks Recreation Secretary MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: JULY 3, 1985 RE: U.S. HOMES, PRELIMINARY PLAT, LEXINGTON PLACE SO. 2ND ADDN. BACKGROUND The Advisory Parks Recreation Commission previously reviewed the Lexington Place South 2nd Addition at its May 2 and again at its June 6 Commission meeting. Members will recall that U.S. Home Corporation is seeking a plat on Outlots A and C. Previously, these outlots were to be utilized as "private recreation areas" to be developed and maintained under a homeowners association. U.S. Homes has dropped that concept and now wishes to replat these outlots into residential parcels. At the May 2 meeting, Commission members saw a replat which would have created 19 Lots. This has since been reduced to 16. At the City Council meeting on June 18 the City Council, acting upon the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission's concerns and comments made previously, referred consideration of the replat of Outlot A and C to the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission. The Advisory Parks Recreation Commission is asked to further review and determine whether the outlots would be desirable for park and open space and further to review the dedication requirements of the entire subdivision. Chairman Roger Martin and Commission member George Kubik have met with the Director of Parks Recreation to review the issues involved with this proposed replat. An onsite visit was also made to assess the impact of the replatting upon the open space area. At the suggestion of Mr. Martin and Mr. Kubik, photographs are to be taken and available at the Commission meeting for additional background. However, it may behoove individual Commission members to make an onsite visit of the area to personally assess the implications of the proposed replat. ISSUES There are numerous issues involved with the discussion of this proposed replat. Perhaps the primary or major issue is the fact that the developer is changing the proposal from the original plan which provided for open space. While the Parks Systems Master Plan indicates a neighborhood park further to the east, the Commission was concerned relative to the preservation of open space and the provision for providing play areas in compact residential developments. Under the original proposal, the Homeowner's Association was to have controlled the open space area. While the developer has indicated a change in his marketing strategy this does not abrogate his responsibility to fulfill the previous agreement with the City. Therefore, the Commission may still wish to recommend that the development be responsible for maintenance and preservation of this open space. Although the Homeowner's Association may not be formed, the responsibility for the care of the open space remains the responsibility of the developer. Perhaps an alternative or innovative solution could be found including ownership by U.S. Homes, a non profit group /organization, a foundation, etc. U.S. Homes Preliminary Plat July 3, 1985 Page 2 The developer has already changed a number of other conditions of the development agreement, should they also be allowed to change this? Why should a change in "marketing" dictate a change in open space? A concern has been that if the replat is not allowed, the property might not be maintained, and fall back to the City for required maintenance. Traditionally, the City has taken care in avoiding long -term maintenance responsibilities for small areas. In this instance there may be sufficient benefits to off -set maintenance costs, if the responsibilities were to come to the City at some point in the future. This is a subjective issue the Commission /Council must also consider. The continuation of the area or open space could also be achieved by the City acquiring this as park dedication. In as much as the development has already paid a cash dedication on the platted property within the Lexington Place South Addition, a refund of that fee would have to be made to reacquire this as open space. This Park acquisition, at least for neighborhood Park designation, would run counter to the Parks System Plan Study previously adopted. Further, if the City initially wished to have acquired park space within this plat would it have selected these two areas or an area more suitable for park space? A third alternative for maintaining the open space would be through extension of the existing lot lines through the open space area. This, however, does not assure maintenance of the area in question. Because of the relatively lengthy and deep lots that would be created, there would be serious question as to whether future homeowners would maintain this area in appropriate manners. Extension of lot lines in outlot A (easterly most outlot) would create lots with double frontage onto two streets. This could create additional problems for these homeowners in the future. REPLATTING ISSUES There are several issues involved with the replatting of these two outlots. A total replat of this entire subdivision is neither probable or feasible. Utilities and streets are already at service location for the existed platted lots. A replatting would cause the developer to change all water and sewer connection services which would be extremely difficult and expensive to do. The platting of the two open lots into residential areas creates several other issues which should be reviewed. In order to accomplish the replatting, significant fill must be brought in along the east road (Cardinal Way) along outlot A in order to create building pads. Other grade changes are also necessary. In the creation of these building pads, vegetation along the east shoreline, would probably be lost. In order to maintain the pond capacity required with the City's Storm Sewer Plan, the pond elevation is to be raised from 900 to 900.7 or a rise of approximately 8 inches. This increase in water elevation will obviously impact trees adjacent to the pond. In order to create lots in outlot C, fill will also be required. Again, pond elevations are increased as a result of grading adjacent to the ponds edge. Again, vegetation is lost. There is little significant vegetation with the pond adjacent to Lexington Avenue, the third pond in question. U.S. Homes Preliminary Plat July 3, 1985 Page 3 Because of the Commission's previously demonstrated concerns for the preservations of ponds and significant vegetation, further review of impacts of grading and fill in the creation of these lots bears review and consideration. ADVISORY COMMISSION'S ACTION Again, the Commission is asked to review these proposed preliminary plats and determine and make recommendations on the status of the proposed open space area within the Lexington Place South /Lexington Place 2nd Addition. Alternatives for Commission recommendation include: 1. To recommend against the plat, and require the developer to meet the original obligation and maintain the outlots as open space. 2. Approve the plat as presented; require a cash dedication on the newly created lots. 3. Recommend that existing lot lines be extended through the outlots. 4. Acquire the two outlots. 5.

O 0 (NI top S 0 t0 GD O O N O 0 O 0 F r t N N N MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: JUNE 27, 1985 RE: PARK SERVICE SECTION 10E PROPOSED ZONING TO P.U.D. R.J. O'NEIL BACKGROUND: The Advisory Parks Recreation Commission previously reviewed the proposed O'Neil rezoning to P.U.D. status in June. Subsequently, the City Council denied the rezoning, deferring back to the Advisory Planning Commission the entire issue for further study. On June 25 the Advisory Planning Commission reviewed the site plan again and approved the revised P.U.D. which clarified land uses within the 100 acres. Apparently none of the revisions substantially changed any parks related issues. Although the P.U.D. is for commercial use and parkland dedication is not a direct issue, the subject of providing a park within the Park Service Section needs to be discussed. PARKS ISSUES BACKGROUND: Park Service Section 10E encompasses the 100 acres of the proposed P.U.D. plus additional acreage. This service section has previously had a neighborhood park projected both in the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan and Park Systems Study. This projection for a neighborhood park was based on the assumption that much of the property owned by Mr. O'Neil would be residential, multiple. The Systems Study has also suggested this area as a "potential" community athletic site. Immediately north of Park Service Section 10E there are 60 additional acres which have been platted under the Lexington Addition. This area still remains undeveloped. This addition lies outside the park service section, but in reality should be serviced by 10E. Department staff has done a projection of population potential within this general vicinity. The O'Neil property has 20 acres zoned R -4 multiple at the current time. There are 60 additional acres zoned /platted R -3 multiple dwellings immediately to the north under the "Lexington Addition" and a 10- acre (approximately) R -4 parcel to the north and west of the O'Neil parcel. Assuming 12 units per acre for R -4 designation and nine units per acre for R -3 designation, there may be as many as 1,140 units within this area assuming full development. The City is currently estimating 1.88 residents for apartment units and 2.2 residents for multiple unit housing. Therefore, assuming 1,140 units there is a potential for between 2,150 and 2,400 residents. Again, this is a rough approximation and is based on an assumption on the number of living units and unit dwellers. Based on previous planning and the potential for the number of residents just noted, it appears that some provisions for meeting park or open space needs is warranted. This need could be met either with the acquisition of a park of from 5 -7 acres or through open space /recreational provisions as part of a plat and development agreement. A third alternative for providing neighborhood park space may also be the designation of a portion of an athletic site (currently under study) west of the bulk mail facility. Staff wishes to caution the Commission concerning this alternative because of the uncertainty of the athletic site location. OTHER ISSUES: There ae several other issues which the Commission needs to be aware of relative to parks and this P.U.D. The R -3 property to the north was platted several years ago. There is some question regarding payment of any parks dedication fee with that plat. This will have to be researched. Preliminarily it appears that this plat was conditioned on a cash dedication and not a land dedication. Therefore, it is improbable that a parkland could be attained from this plat. There is also some question in the Planning Department's perspective that the R -3 property will be developed as it is currently platted. Its eventual use may be more compatible with commercial /industrial because of adjacent uses than the proposed R -3. Further doubts are created because in 1980 a preliminary plat application was submitted to replat a portion of the site to four -plex units. The proposed replat never proceeded beyond review by the Advisory Planning Commission. In summation, there is a question and a degree of uncertainty as to how the Lexington Addition to the north may eventually develop despite the R -3 zoning and platting. Should the Commission decide to obtain a parks dedication for a park, the size of the park would probably be in the area of three acres, at best a small mini -park basecpon the unplatted R -4 property. While the size of the park could provide some basic amenities and play features, topography of the area will make "active" space difficult to achieve even if the park were to be significantly enlarged. The proposed 100 acre P.U.D. rezoning does not directly impact parks as previously mentioned because it is for commercial rezoning. Consequently, staff would recommend that the 100 acre proposed rezoning be subject to Commission review as each plat is presented within the development. Such platting would be subject to cash dedication, trails, sidewalks, landscaping, etc. ALTERNATIVES: Alternatives for meeting potential residential needs for park space within the remaining area in the Park Service Section include the following: Alternative #1 would be to require a land dedication with the platting of the 20 acres currently zoned R -4 owned by Mr. O'Neil. This will provide two acres of parkland. If possible, deciding to include a land dedication for the other ten acres of R -4 property would provide one additional acre for parks. Therefore, one of the alternatives would be to provide for a park through dedication requirements on the remaining unplatted residential property amounting to a total of three (3) acres. Alternative #2 would be to require open space and park amenities within the multiple developments in the future. As has been the practice with other multiple family developments, a requirement for tennis courts, trails, tot lots or other amenities could be a condition of plat approval and a responsibility of the developer to provide. These amenities could substantially meet the park and open space needs of the residents if and when development occurs. Alternative #3 would be to seek a neighborhood park as part of a possible future athletic site location west of the bulk mail center facility. This alternative still remains under study. FOR COMMISSION ACTION: To discuss and review the options and alternatives available for providing park space and meeting potential residential needs and to make a recommendation concerning parks issues in the proposed 100 acre P.U.D. rezoning. This recommendation should include provision for parks Commission review of any future platting within the area including trails, sidewalks, commercial /industrial cash dedication, etc. Respectfully submitted, Directs of Parks Recreation /js MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: JUNE 27, 1985 RE: VIENNA WOODS PARK RAHN RIDGE PRELIMINARY PLAT BACKGROUND: The City has received a preliminary plat entitled "Rahn Ridge" which is located in Park Service Section 31E. 31E is also the proposed location of Vienna Woods Park which came about as part of the Mission Hills South planned development. Mission Hills South planned development was issued in 1978 and provided for a 2 1/2 acre parkland dedication subject to the City's designation and acceptance of a specific area. A cash dedication was paid to the City to be held in escrow until such time as a decision was made as to the 2 1/2 acre park location. In 1981 department staff brought this issue before the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission and a general park site was selected. The site is immediately adjacent to a 5 1/2 acre parcel owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation for ponding purposes. It was staff's recommendation to acquire this particular 2 1/2 acre site as staff felt confident that the City would be able to obtain the MnDot parcel as "turnback" to the City. Commission agreed with this recommendation. A commitment was received from MnDot to transfer ownership of the 5 1/2 acre parcel to the City of Eagan Parks Recreation Department. RAHN RIDGE PRELIMINARY PLAT: The Rahn Ridge preliminary plat consists of 25 duplexed lots and one lot proposed for a church on approximately 25 acres. However, the developer is proposed to change the configuration of the parkland dedication to better accomodate streets within the proposed subdivision (see attachments). In reviewing this proposed change, staff is of the opinion that there are no significant advantages or disadvantages to the City in the change in park boundaries other than it appears the City will receive an additional .2 acres. Therefore, staff is recommending acceptance of the park boundary modifications. There are a number of other concerns and recommendations that should be addressed with this preliminary plat as follows: First, the proposed location of a storm sewer outlet from the extension of Pin Oak Drive is shown to go to the pond within the MnDot now City park area. Parks Recreation staff would prefer seeing this storm sewer outlet and pipe moved further to the north. At its present location, it is centered on the park access resulting in an aesthetic problem and as a pediment to good park design. Further, staff would recommend that in the case of parks, the outlet be below the proposed normal water level of 915.9. Second, that the proposed grading plan be reviewed and approved by the Director of Parks Recreation in addition to the Engineering staff. It appears that there may be several proposed grade changes which may affect and impact the park. Staff wants to be assured that these changes do not negatively impact future park development. Third, this plat should be responsible for a bituminous trailway along the extension of Rahn Road to the intersection of proposed Fieldcrest Way. Fourth, that the developer provide the bituminous trailway as depicted on the preliminary plat between lots 6 and 1 leading from Fieldcrest Way to the proposed park property. Fifth, a proposed storm water catch basin on Fieldcrest Way to the park shall be extended to the pond with its outlet below the normal water elevation of 915.9. FUTURE PARK ISSUES: In its review and analysis of the proposed park boundary changes with this preliminary plat, staff reviewed a number of other issues which need to be addressed concurrent with future parks planning and development. These issues are not a responsibility of the preliminary plat, but are brought to the Commission's attention at this time so full understanding and implications for future parks development are understood. Relative to the existing pond, the pond elevation is currently at 908. As part of the MnDot storm water runoff, this pond will increase to an elevation of 915.9 with a high water elevation of 918. This increase in the water elevation and high water elevation has two impacts. The first is that a number of trees adjacent to the pond will be flooded out and subject to dieback. Second, the 918 contour comes well into the park area. For this reason, staff is recommending that at the earliest opportunity existing trees around the pond be removed while access to them is still relatively easy; the 918 contour be moved closer to the pond in order to confine the surface area of the water to a smaller size. In order to do this, it will be required to deepen a portion of the pond to insure that there is sufficient capacity. Department staff is also suggesting that with final plat approval, a master parks plan scheme be designed. This would be consistent with our recently initiated practice of completing designs of parks with impending residential development. Third, that the impacts of I -35E with its noise and sight lines on the park be minimized through a landscape screening program. Essentially, this would call for planting of a single row of fast growing poplar trees on the park boundary. As a fast growing tree, they could provide relatively quick screening and act as a sound barrier. In conjunction with this planting, a second row of preferred, longer life plant material would also be planted immediately in front of these poplars. Given time, they would mature and then the less desirable poplars could be removed at some future date. Fourth, there is an overland drainage spillway from the existing pond to the northeast corner of the park and a secondary pond and storm water outlet. Care will have to be shown in design of the park with this spillway to insure the safety of the park user while meeting the needs and commitments for ponding. FOR COMMISSION ACTION: To review the preliminary plat entitled "Rahn Ridge" and make a recommendation to include acceptance of the parkland dedication, a trailway on Rahn Road to Fieldcrest Way, a trail connection from Fieldcrest Way to the park and that grading and storm water locations be subject to Parks Recreation staff reviews and approvals. Respectfully submitted, Director o'P marks Recreation /js SUBJECT: APPLICANT: LOCATION: EXISTING ZONING: DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DATE OF REPORT: REPORTED BY: CITY OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT RAHN RIDGE JEFFREY D LINDGREN PART OF NE SECTION 31, RAHN ROAD RAHN WAY P.D. (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) MISSION HILLS SOUTH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT JUNE 25, 1985 JUNE 19, 1985 PLANNING ENGINEERING DEPT. APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary Plat for Rahn Ridge, consisting of 25 duplex lots and 1 church lot on approx. 25 acres. ZONING LAND USE: Presently the parcel is zoned limited business and duplex under the Mission Hills South Planned Development. The application submitted is in conformance with these two uses in this zoning. The Comp. Guide Plan designates this parcel as R -1 and L.B. (limited business). COMMENTS: As you are aware, the Mission Hills P.D. was initially approved on June 3, 1977 and has a 15 year P.D. term. The south portion of the P.D. consisting of Vienna Woods, is a single family,duplex development. The 25 acres is the remaining property within the Mission Hills P.D. and is proposed to develop in accod- ance with the land uses allowed within this P.D. which is limited business and R -2 (residential double). The total site area of this second phase is 24.74 acres of which the church site would consist of 8.3 acres and is proposed to contain a church which would contain 1,200 to 1,500 seats. A church is a permitted use within either a limited business district or a public facilities district, therefore, this is a compatible use within the land use proposed. Access to the church would be either off of Rahn Way, which would provide joint access to the County Court facility and the church on the north, and also Rahn Rd as it extends south to tie into Pin Oak Dr. on the south. Besides the church, the applicant is proposing to plat 25 duplex lots which all meet or exceed the R -2 lot size requirements of the 100 x 150 or 15,000 S.F. per lot. Access to the duplex lots would be off of Rahn Rd. which ties into Pin Oak Dr. and a curvi- lineal street which would tie Pin Oak Dr. to Vienna La. The applicant has taken into account our traffic circultion plan and has made all of the major connections in order to tie the streets together within this general area. PRELIMINARY PLAT RAHN RIDGE JUNE 25, 1985 PAGE 2. The issue Staff may raise is that Lots 1 4, Block 2, on the east side of Rahn Rd., may not be the most appropriate land use within this area. Directly east of these lots, is the office building of Rahncliff Development and it would appear that the single tier of duplex lots between the church and office may not be an appropriate use at the present location. It would appear that the land use of either commercial office or a church would make the most sense in determining what land use should be on these four particular lots. DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY: Existing topography for this proposed development consists of hilly farmland. The proposed development lies within Drainage District A, as is evidenced by Figure 1. As a result, the existing drainage for this development flows in three directions, into three small ponds. The drainage from a small northerly portion, is proposed to drain to Pond AP 13. AP 13 is located north of this proposed development with storm sewer stubbed to the north property line of this project and also has a positive gravity outlet. The flow from the easterly 1/2 of this development is proposed to drain into Pond AP 44, which has a positive gravity outlet. The southwesterly 1/3 flows to the west into Pond AP 29 which is proposed to connect to said Pond AP 13. Meanwhile, the existing slopes on this project range from 2 -10 A detailed grading and erosion control plan indicating existing contours at two ft. intervals and proposed contours at two ft. intervals with proposed drainage arrows is required to be submitted for staff review prior to final plat approval. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer and streets are of sufficient size and capacity, and are in the proximity of the proposed development as shown in Figures 2 3. A pressure reducing station is to be built in the area and further study is required to determine if the City will be required some additional trunk watermain to be constructed in order to serve this development. It will be the responsibility of this development to petition the City for the trunk storm sewer line to be constructed from Pond AP 29 to the existing line which outlets into Pond AP 13 as shown in Figure 1 and petition the City for the necessary trunk watermain if required by the City. All interior utilities shall be constructed and installed to City standards. If these utilities are installed privately, then the plans and specifications should be prepared by a registered engineer and be submitted for approval. PRELIMINARY PLAT RAHN RIDGE JUNE 25, 1985 PAGE 3. All construction costs associated with this development except the aforementioned trunk storm sewer and trunk watermain is the sole responsibility of this development. STREETS: Access to this proposed development is by way of extend- ing Vienna Lane and Pin Oak Lane from the west. Both said Vienna Lane and Pin Oak Lane are 31 feet wide with concrete curb and bituminous surfacing. Access is also proposed from the north with the extension of Rahn Road, which is a 44' wide road with concrete curb and bituminous surface. The southeasterly portion of this proposed development will border I -35E, which, of course allows no access. RIGHT OF WAY: All interior streets right -of -way should be dedicated to a 60' width unless approved otherwise by staff due to extenuating circumstances. A 10' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to all publicly dedicated right -of -way with a 5' drainage and utility easement being dedicated adjacent all exterior lot lines and a 10 foot drainage and utility easement being dedicated over all interior lot lines. Also, pending and drainage easement will be required to encompass the high water mark of Ponds AP 29 and AP 44. All easements over public utility should be dedicated as per staff recommendations.

Commission members should be familiar with this particular parcel as the City has been seeking a portion of it for parks dedication, adjacent to Schwanz Lake /Trapp Farm Park. The two attached graphics show the general location of the Sunset 9th Addition and the park property both west and to the south. The second graphic is an enlargement showing the proposed Sunset 9th Addition and the two properties immediately to the east which the City is in the process of acquiring. This graphic also depicts an extension of the property line and the proposed dedication with this preliminary plat. However, this proposed dedication exceeds the 10% land dedication requirement of the City even allowing for a significant amount of water area to be taken. Consequently, the City is faced with either purchasing additional area beyond the dedication requirements or to alter the proposed property line to comply with the 10% dedication. FOR COMMISSION ACTION To recommend a parkland dedication requirement for the Sunset 9th Addition and instruct department staff to negotiate a land dedication and possible purchase for additional property to complete the Schwanz Lake /Trapp Farm Park acquisition.

APPLICANT: JACK GERMAINE LOCATION: PART OF THE SA OF THE NA OF SECTION 25 A AGRICULTURAL JUNE 25, 1985 JUNE 18, 1985 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been received requesting a rezoning from A, Agricultural to R -I, Residential Single Family and a Preliminary Plat of 4 lots on 5 acres of land. The parcel is located south of the future Golden Meadow Road just east of the Northview Meadows subdivision. ZONING AND LAND USE: The parcel is zoned agricultural and would allow one dwelling on the 5 acres. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designated the. area as R -II, Mixed Residential, with a density range of 3 -6 units per acre. The rezoning request to R -I would allow up to 3 units per acre, however, this Preliminary Plat is for less than one unit per acre due to the topography and parcel shape. The site is grassland with mature oaks which slopes to the south. Approximately 1/3 of the site is part of Schwanz Lake which lies to the south of the site. CODE COMPLIANCE: The proposal meets all the lot size, lot width and density requirements of an R -I zone. SITE PLANNING: The lots would take access off of Golden Meadow Road which is currently under construction. The lots have excellent solar orientation with the south facing slope. GRADING AND DRAINAGE: The existing topography over this site consists of grasslands sharply sloping in a southeasterly direction from Golden Meadow Road to Schwanz Lake.' the summit of the slope along Golden Meadow Rd. is at an approximate elevation of 950'. The .land slopes rather steeply toward Schwanz Lake which has a controlled water elevation of 879'. The 71' difference in eleva- tion translates to an approximate slope of 20%. Subsequently, an erosion control plan must be submitted by the developer and put into place prior to any grading over this area. It appears a 10' front lot variance will be required to make these lots buildable. Preliminary Plat Rezoning Sunset 9th Add. June 25, 1985 Page 2 A detailed grading plan indicating two -foot contour intervals shall be submitted for staff review prior to final plat approval. Staff can't comment on a preliminary grading plan since one was not submitted. UTILITIES AND STREETS: Golden Meadow Rd. is presently being constructed under City Project #418R. Said Golden Meadow Rd. will adequately provide utility services and road access for this development. RIGHT -OF -WAY: This development will be responsible for dedicating a 30' half right -of -way for Golden Meadow Rd. as a condition for final plat approval. A 10' utility easement will be required to be dedicated adjacent to all public right -of -way, with a 5' utility and drainage easement adjacent to all remaining lines. In addition, a ponding and drainage easement which encompasses the 882.5' high water level for Schwanz Lake shall be dedicated with this plat. ASSESSMENTS: Water trunk and sanitary trunk areas have been previously assessed. Storm trunk area was assessed at $711 /acre with a large lot credit given under Project #383. There will be additional assessments due upon final plat approval. CONDITIONS: 1) All lots shall be served by sanitary sewer and water. 2) No driveways shall exceed 10% slope. 3) All standard Preliminary Plat conditions shall apply. 4) The developer shall meet the applicable requirements of the Standard Engineering Guidelines.

EXISTING ZONING: L -1 LIMITED INDUSTRIAL DISRRICT DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 25, 1985 DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 20, 1985 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval of one industrial lot on 19 acres located at the intersection of Yankee Doodle Road and Comsery Drive. The site is located between Blue Cross /Blue Shield's building and Comserv's headquarters. The applicant plans to construct 2 one -story 112,000 sq. ft. office /warehouse buildings on the property. ZONING AND LAND USE: The property is zoned Limited Industrial and would allow the office /warehouse use planned for the site. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates the area as Industrial. The site is a relatively flat grassy area with a steep slope along Highway 13. A stand of medium size trees is located along the slope. CODE COMPLIANCE: The Preliminary Plat and site plan meet all the setback and lot coverage requirements of the Limited Industrial District. The applicant is providing 755 parking spaces for an overall ratio of 1 stall per 300 gross sq. ft. of building area. This amount of parking should be adequate for their needs, however, if parking demand exceeds capacity, the applicant has shown an area of parking expansion that could be constructed if needed. SITE PLANNING: The site is located between two architecturally significant buildings (Blue Cross and Comserv) and should blend in with those structures as much as possible. In selling the parcel to R.L. Johnson, Comsery has retained architectural review rights for the proposed buildings. The exterior of the buildings will be silver which would match the existing Comsery building. The truck docks are located on the interior of the with employee parking around the perimeter. ItUl shaped buildings Access to the parcel is off of Yankee Doodle Drive and Comsery Drive. A service access for deliveries is planned to come off of Comsery Drive. Appropriate signage designating the truck access should be provided. PRELIMINARY PLAT R.L. JOHNSON 2ND ADDITION JUNE 25, 1985 PAGE 2 The topographic layout would necessitate the construction of large retaining walls and a steep slope up to Highway 13. The landscaping plan shows an adequate amount of planting except for along the southeast property line next to Highway 13. It is suggested that trees be planted along the top of the slope to screen the views from Blue Cross and to replace some of the vegetation lost during grading operations. If approved, the Preliminary Plat shall be subject to the following conditions: 1. A $75,000 Landscaping Bond or Letter of Credit shall be obtained and not released until the satisfactory completion of the retaining walls and landscaping (one year after planting). 2. The additional parking spaces shown on the northeast corner of the site shall be constructed if parking capacity is exceeded. 3. A modified landscaping plan adding a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees along the southeast property line shall be submitted for staff approval. 4. All standard Preliminary Plat conditions shall apply. 5. The developer shall meet the applicable requirements of the standard engineer conditions. 6. All internal easements shall be dedicated in accordance with staff recommenda— tion. 7. All costs associated with development shall be the sole responsibility of this development. 8. All other applicable City Code and Policy requirements shall be complied with by the developer. 9. A detailed grading and erosion control plan indicating existing contours at 2' intervals and proposed contours at 2' intervals with proposed drainage ar— rows is required to be submitted for staff review prior to final plat approval. 10. All interior utilities shall be constructed and installed to City standards. If these utilities are installed privately, then the plans and specifications should be prepared by a registered engineer and be submitted for approval. MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION C/O DALE RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER SUBJECT: YANKEE PLACE FROM: MARK HANSON, CONSULTANT ENGINEER DATE: JUNE 19, 1985 GRADING /DRAINAGE: The existing topography is sloping to Yankee Doodle Road and Comsery Drive. The westerly 400' of the site abutting Comsery Drive slopes moderately (less than _6%) to Comsery Drive while the easterly 200' abutting T.H. No. 13 rises sharply (greater than 20 to T.H. No. 13. Pres- ently, the site drains onto Comsery Drive or to a 24" RCP storm sewer located at Yankee Doodle Road and Comsery Drive. The proposed grading includes leveling the site with a moderate upward slope from Comsery Drive. However, due to the size of the building and parking area slopes from the parking lot to T.H. No. 13 will be 3 to 1. A 650' long timber retaining wall is required along the southerly portion of the site abutting Comsery Drive. The timber retaining wall will have a maximum height of 8' with the exception of a 200' portion which will consist of two 8' high retain- ing walls separated by 10. The site is served by an existing 42" RCP storm sewer in Comsery Drive which is of adequate size to serve this development. It is proposed to connect to the existing storm sewer at three locations. Two connections require the open cutting of Comsery Drive. It is recommended the center connection include re- locating the existing catch basin southerly in Comsery Drive to intercept run- off through the drive entrance. The southerly connection presently proposes reconstructing the existing 12" RCP storm sewer in Comsery Drive to a 15" RCP. It is recommended this reconstruction be reconsidered if feasible to eliminate the open cutting of Comsery Drive. Storm sewers will be extended into Yankee Place to convey runoff and will be considered private storm sewers. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer will be extended onto the site from the existing 12" trunk sanitary sewer in Yankee Doodle Road. Water main will be extended from the existing 8' water main in Comsery Drive and will include the proper hydrants for fire protection. STREETS: The site is served by Comsery Drive on the west and south and Yankee Doodle Road to the north. Two drive entrances are proposed on Comsery Drive while one double drive is proposed at Yankee Doodle Road. No drive entrance will be allowed by Mn /DOT at T.H. No. 13 or the southerly portion of Comsery Drive due to the elevation differential. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: All street right -of -way was previously dedicated as part of Comsery No. 1. It is recommended, however, permanent utility easement be granted over all water main. ASSESSMENTS: All trunk area related assessments have been levied over this proposed development. No trunk related projects will be required as a result of this development. 8647c as Ith L L COMSERV N14 i R.L.

PUBLIC FACILITIES A AGRICULTURAL DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 25, 1985 DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 17, 1985 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION SUMMARY: Easter Lutheran Church is planning a major building addition to their existing church at the southeast corner of Diffley Road and Pilot Knob Road. In conjunction with that addition they are asking for Prelim— inary Plat approval of one 3.8 acre lot for the church facility. ZONING AND LAND USE: The zoning map shows the northern portion of the property as Public Facilities and the southern portion as Agricultural. The Church feels that the entire site was designated a Public Facility zone when the initial building permit was issued by the City Council in 1977. The site consists of an unplatted 2.6 acre parcel with the existing 5,000 square foot church building and Lot 1, Block 5 of Wilderness Run 5th Addition. The site has access to Pilot Knob Road, Diffley Road and Easter Lane. CODE COMPLICANCE: The plan meets all the setback and lot coverage requirements of a Public Facility District. The applicant will be expanding the church seating to 400 seats and expanding the parking lot to provide 133 parking spaces which meets the Code requirement. SITE PLANNING: The main problem associated with the church expansion is the access to Diffley Road and the future upgrading of that access. The church will initially tie directly into the existing driveway onto Diffley. When Diffley is upgraded (1987 the access will have to shift to the east in order to line up with Hilltop Lane. The church has provided a site plan showing the frontage road construction necessary to get the access across from Hilltop. Secondary access would come from Pilot Knob Road and Easter Lane. The building expansion would add approximately 10,000 square feet to the existing church. The addition would contain a two story worship hall and one story office and storage areas. GRADING /DRAINAGE: The location of this proposed development is on the top of a hill at a 954 elevation. This hill generally slopes easterly. The existing slopes along the east boundary of this development are approximately 12 PRELIMINARY PLAT EASTER LUTHERAN CHURCH JUNE 25, 1985 PAGE 2. The preliminary grading plat as submitted is feasible. Most of the grading will occur as a result of the parking lot expansion. The resulting grades are within those allowed by City Code. Still, they are steep enough to require some attention to control erosion. Seeding and mulching should be enough to stabilize the 3 to 1 slopes along the easterly border. However, staked sodding may be required to stabilize the 2 to 1 slopes that will ultimately be adjacent to Diffley Road. The proposed short frontage road along Diffley Road will be at approximately the same grade as the existing Diffley Road. This grade is about 77,. Drainage from the proposed parking lot may be collected by a catch basin and discharged into the County Road 30 ditch provided adequate riprap and energy dissipation methods are provided to reduce the possibilities of erosion in the County Road 30 ditch. Storm sewer will probably be brought up to this point with the upgrading of Diffley Road in the future. UTILITIES: The existing watermain and sanitary sewer within Easter Lane provide service to the existing church. The proposed expansion is not anticipa- ted to require any additional upgrading and services. STREETS: Pilot Knob Road, Diffley Road, and Easter Lane border this development on its westerly, northerly, and southerly boundaries respectively. Pilot Knob Road and Diffley Road are under the jurisdiction of the Dakota County Highway Department while Easter Lane is designated as a City residential street. When Pilot Knob Road is upgraded, the present access for the church will be reduced to a right -in and right -out only because of the necessary median and left -turn lane construction required for Pilot Knob Road. Similarly, Diffley Road will also require a median and left -turn lane which will eliminate the full access to the present driveway on Diffley Road. At the request of the County, this development is showing a short frontage road from the existing driveway easterly to line up with Hilltop Lane. To facilitate eastbound traffic attempting access to this development, staff recommends that a right -in only be constructed at the existing driveway on Diffley Road. Otherwise, eastbound traffic would have to gain access to this property off of the proposed frontage road. This maneuver would be difficult because of the relatively steep grades. Dakota County Highway Department has no problem with a proposed right -in only at the existing driveway on Diffley Road. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: This development shall be responsible for dedicating a 75 ft.half right -of -way for Pilot Knob Road and 33ft.of right -of -way for Diffley Road. All necessary easements shall be dedicated in accordance with City Code. CONDITIONS: 1) A detailed landscaping plan shal be submitted for City Staff approval. 2) The zoning issue shall be resolved either by the City the applicant or an application for Rezoning shall be initiated.

Mr. Stover has subsequently reassessed that application and has resubmitted a new preliminary plat. Previous to this current application, Mr. Stover was suggesting two multiple dwelling buildings consisting of approximately 20 units. The current proposal is for one outlot and two lots with a four unit townhouse and a duplex unit. Under the previous proposal, there was significant grading on the site which would have impacted Woodhaven Park immediately to the north. Because of the extensive grading and impact on the park, it was also possible then to get a trail to this addition and around the pond within the park. The new plan has a significant reduction in grading and it appears that trail development at this time is not probable. Therefore, staff is recommending a cash dedication for the units being developed at this time. A trail dedication around the pond may be a requirement with the future development of Outlot A. Staff is also recommending that a trail easement on Rahn Road be provided to the limits of this plat for a potential future trailway. This would allow flexibility for the planning of the future road and trails development through this section. Respectfully submitted, Direct:r of Parks Recreation KV /js SUBJECT: APPLICANT: LOCATION: EXISTING ZONING: CITY OF EAGAN REZONING PRELIMINARY PLAT, WOODHAVEN ADD. TERRY STOVER PART OF NEa OF SEC 19 NORTHEAST OF BEAU D' RUE DRIVE RAHN ROAD R -4, RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 25, 1985 DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 18, 1985 REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: The first application submitted is a request to rezone approximately .9 acres from R -4, Residential Multiple, to R -3, Residential Townhouse District, and R -2, Residential Double District, to allow the construction of one four -plex and one duplex on two acres of property. The second application submitted is a request for Preliminary Plat, Woodhaven Addition, consisting of seven lots of which six would contain dwelling units located in the NE corner of Beau D' Rue Drive and Rahn Road. ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently the property is zoned R -4, Residen- tial Multiple. There had been a development approved consisting of two multiple buildings consisting of approximately 20 dwelling units. The property is also designated an R -III in the Comprehen- sive Guide Plan which is Mixed Residential with a density of 6 -12 dwelling units per acre. The application submitted is just under 6 dwelling units per acre for Phase I consisting of one four -plex and duplex. Therefore, the application is just shy of the density allowed according to the Comprehensive Guide Plan. COMMENTS: In 1983, the applicant submitted a development plan which consisted of two 3 story apartments with underground parking. Each building contained 10 -11 dwelling units for an approximate density of 22 units on the two acres of property. Since 1983, the applicant has reevaluated the site and is proposing to construct a four -plex and duplex on the northern half of the site and retain an outlot on the southern portion of the site which would be developed at a future date. In review of this application the applicant is proposing to reduce the density on the northern lot by 5 dwelling units, by constructing one four -plex and one duplex for. a total of 6 dwelling units on just under 1 acre property. The applicant has taken into account the topography and grades of the site and is proposing to minimize the grading and to save as many trees as possible with the construction of this development plan. Rezoning Preliminary Plat, Woodhaven Add. June 25, 1985 Page 2 Staff has reviewed this development plan with the zoning ordinance and this plan meets all setbacks, lot coverage, parking in accor- dance with Chapter 11 of the City Code with one condition: 1) The northerly duplex is showing a 10 foot setback from the diagonal property line. If this is a side setback it would meet the requirement. If it is a rear setback it would a 5 foot variance from the rear setback requirement. This plan is superior to the existing plan approved for the fact that there is less grading and less disruption to the site than what was originally approved. GRADING /DRAINAGE: The grading proposed by this development's preliminary grading plan is feasible and in accordance with City Codes and Guidelines. The 3 to 1 slopes off the northerly and westerly ends of the driveway and parking lot to the proposed townhouses will require special attention to curb erosion. Also, because of the steep slopes, special consideration for erosion control during the construction process will also be necessary. This will require the installation and proper maintenance of a siltation fence at the toe of the 3 to 1 slopes. Staff further recommends that the 3 to 1 slopes be sodded upon completion of grading to prevent erosion. The proposed grading will not alter the water runoff patterns. The present water runoff pattern is in a northerly direction from Rahn Road to pond AP -1. This pond has a positive gravity outlet to the Minnesota River Valley as shown in Figure 1. There- fore, this development will not require any trunk storm sewer improvements. SANITARY SEWER: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth exists within Rahn Road to provide service to this development. A 6 inch service stub is in place about 50 feet east of the proposed driveway to the townhouse units. This is the only sewer stub to this property, therefore, this developer will have to construct a lateral sanitary sewer line to the east to provide service to the proposed duplex. The construction of this sanitary sewer line must be in accordance with city standards in order for the City to maintain it in the future. WATERMAIN: Watermain is of sufficient size, capacity and depth and is located along the southerly side of Rahn Road. It appears the location of this watermain may be behind the curb in the boulevard area of Rahn Road. A check of our record plans indicate no water services were ever constructed to this proposed develop- ment. Therefore, it will be this development's responsibility Rezoning Preliminary Plat, Woodhaven Add. June 25, 1985 Page 3 to construct water services to both the townhouse unit and the duplex units. The construction of these services will require either jacking or boring under. Rahn Road. Because of the high traffic volumes on Rahn Road (approximately 5800 vehicles per day), Staff feels it would be inappropriate to close Rahn Road to perform an open cut. Staff would recommend the jacking of a 2 inch service for the 4 -unit townhouses and a 1; or 1h inch service for the duplexes. STREETS: Rahn Road is the lone existing street providing access to this proposed development. The City classifies Rahn Road as a neighborhood collector street. Rahn Road is presently constructed 36 feet wide with bituminous curbing. Rahn Road is in very bad condition and in need of reconstruction. The 36 foot width is adequate for 2 traffic lanes and one parking lane. But because of the high traffic volume at the Rahn Road and Beau D' Rue Drive intersection, Staff recommends the width of Rahn Road, adjacent to proposed Outlot A, be 40 feet wide. This width provides for 2 traffic lanes and a left hand turn lane. This development will not be responsible for a sidewalk due to existing sidewalk on the other side of Rahn Road. RIGHT OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: The 33 foot half right -of -way proposed to be dedicated for Rahn Road is adequate for the 36 foot wide street. However, Staff recommends an additional 7 feet of right -of- way be dedicated along Outlot A to provide a 40 foot halfright- of -way for the 40 foot wide portion of Rahn Road. Staff further recommends that a 40 foot half right -of -way be dedicated for Beau D'Rue Drive. The dedication of utility drainage easements within this development shall be in accordance with City Code. ASSESSMENTS: Trunk assessments levied against this proposed development include storm sewer area, sanitary sewer area and lateral area benefit, and water area. This proposed development is still responsible for its lateral benefit from the 8 inch trunk watermain located within Rahn Road. Using 1985 rates for lateral benefit from trunk watermain, this assessment amounts to $6,282.00 (321 front ft x $19.57 /front ft) The rates in effect at time of final platting will determine the final assessment amount for lateral benefit from trunk water- main. Otherwise, the cost for the installation of the sanitary sewer extension and sewer and water services shall be the sole responsibility of this development. CONDITIONS: 1) The standard plat conditions be applied to this develop- ment. `1 Rezoning Preliminary Plat, Woodhaven Add. June 25, 1985 Page 4 2) Be subject to the Park Commission's review and comments for park dedication. 3) The southerly access should be reviewed and possibly modified as to how it alines with the access to Cedarvale Highlands. 4) All general engineering conditions that are applicable be adhered to. 5) The sanitary sewer extention be constructed to City stand- ards. 6) A 40 foot half right -of -way be dedicated for Rahn Road and Beau D' Rue Drive adjacent Outlot A and a 33 foot right -of- way shall be dedicated for Rahn Road adjacent to the remain- der of this development. 7) This development shall be responsible for lateral benefit from trunk watermain assessment at the rates in effect at the final platting. 8) All costs associated with this development shall be the sole responsibility of this development.

A staff memorandum was prepared for the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission's meeting on June 6, 1985. The memorandum contained alternatives for policy establishment and the Commission directed staff to prepare a policy statement incorporating one of these alternatives. The policy is a result of the direction given by the Commission to staff in developing an athletic field lighting policy (attached). ATHLETIC FIELD LIGHTING POLICY Athletic field lights shall be turned off immediately after 11:00 P.M. allowing for the completion of an inning or the period of play that may be in progress at that time. No new inning or period will be allowed to begin after 11:00 P.M. Department staff shall not be permitted to schedule the start of any event after 9 :45 P.M. or schedule any activity to start which cannot reasonably be completed by 11:00 P.M. It shall be a practice of the department to turn off field lights within a reasonable period of time following completion of play on each field regardless of the stated policy time in an effort to reduce the lighting impact on surrounding areas. PURPOSE OF THE POLICY The purpose of this lights policy is to help guide department staff as they administer both seasonal league play and request for light usage at Northview Athletic Fields. The policy allows the City to make known to future residents what to expect in terms of field and lights usage at this complex. Second, because the City has invested a significant amount of financial resources into lighting fixtures and equipment, the policy for their use will provide for optimum effectiveness while considering the surrounding future neighborhood. This policy was reviewed and adopted by the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission at its regular meeting on July 11, 1985. KV /js Richard Carrroll Secretary Advisory Parks Recreation Comm. MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: JULY 9, 1985 SUBJECT: FIELD CHANGES DURING PARKS CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT 85 The construction contract for the four parks under development is progressing very nicely at this point in time. We estimate that approximately 40% of the entire contract has been completed at this time. A substantially larger percentage of the work has been completed at Goat Hill and Walnut Hill parks. Staff is satisfied with the performance of the contractor and are pleased with the progress that has been made. Like any contract, there are problems and situations that have arisen requiring field changes. These changes and approximate cost are provided for your information. The alignment of the sanitary sewer line in Goat Hill Park was adjusted because of its disruption within the easement required of the north property, Cambridge Courts. A new manhole was required as a result of the relocation and the elimination of five cleanouts. These changes resulted in an approximate increase of $2,500. Storm sewer manholes were moved "up" the road entering Goat Hill Park as a result of a mathematical error. An insignificant increase in the cost resulted and is to paid on a line item basis. A field change in the location of the archery range was made at Walnut Hill Park. The archery range was moved further to the east which benefitted the site location and allowed the site to balance soils. This reduced any expense that might have been incurred by bringing in common borrow. This was a line item expense. No computations of cost savings have been made. The pond at Walnut Hill Park was dug deeper when topsoil materials were uncovered. This additional excavation, while costing additional dollars to excavate, was in actuality a net savings as a result of not needing to bring topsoil borrow from Goat Hill Park at a more expensive price. This also resulted in redesign of the storm water inlet to the pond. A small increase, by unit quanity, is expected. A change has been made at Trapp Farm Park in the area of the amphitheater. Poor soils were encountered and the contingency for muck excavation was determined. This additional cost is covered by a contingency in the bidding process for this line item. A second change at Trapp Farm Park is in the location of the proposed volleyball courts. After preliminary clearing of the diseased trees on the site and final staking of facilities, it was discovered that several oaks of significant size would be lost in the placement of the volleyball courts as originally depicted. In addition, significant erosion from the Northview Meadows storm sewer has filled in a significant portion of lakeshore area. Consequently, staff has directed the contractor to, at an additional expense, remove the sedimentation and reshape the shoreline to its original contours. 1 Advisory Parks Recreation Commission July 9, 1985 In so doing, the volleyball courts are being relocated further to the east in an effort to save the oak trees. This additional work is being done on a hourly charge; staff is estimating at between $750 and $1,500. A change has also been made in the size of the conduit for secondary electrical power in the park. In conference with Mr. Doug Stock, of Dakota Electric, electrical plans have been completed for the park which require larger conduits than previously designed into the projects. The additional cost involved is approximately $350. Generally, these changes are to be expected and anticipated as part of a normal construction process. We believe they are in line and, overall, believe the City is well covered concerning any additional costs because of reductions in other line item costs. One major problem has been encountered that has yet to be resolved at this time. At the time of visual inspection of grading work at Walnut Hill Park, it was noted that there was significant ground movement with the operation of heavy equipment in the area of the tennis courts. Two additional soil borings were immediately ordered to determine subsoil conditions. These soil borings indicated extremely poor soils which were subject to significant frost heaving. These additional borings were in conflict with the original boring which indicated sufficiently suitable and stable soils for the tennis courts. Excavation of the unstable soils was considered, however, it was estimated that excavation (to a depth of nearly 7 feet) over the entire tennis court area and backfilling with packable materials would cost approximately $16,000. Staff is reviewing a number of alternatives in resolution of this problem, but for the time being have chosen to have the tennis court location respread with topsoil and seeded. Grade stakes will be set this fall and, over the winter months, monitored to determine if frost heaving may be as bad as reports indicate. If any members have questions regarding any of these individual items, staff would be happy to respond or enlarge upon each item for clarification. KV /jj 9
