MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS &'RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: JUNE 4, 1985
RE: JUNE 6TH ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING
There are four development proposals before the Advisory Commission on June
6th. The first is Lexington Place South 2nd Addition which the Commission saw
at its May 2nd meeting. The Advisory Planning Commission has recommended
approval of the proposed 16 lot addition to the City Council. Therefore,
Commission's formal recommendation for a cash dedication for Lexington Place
South 2nd Addition is in order.
The second item is Eagle Nest Village, a proposed preliminary plat consisting
of 14 townhouses intended for handicapped individuals. The staff
recommendation is for a cash dedication requirement and for the construction
of a bituminous trailway along Cliff Road.
Item #3 is Sunset 8th Addition which is a lot split within the previous Sunset
3rd Addition. Staff is currently reviewing records to determine if this is
part of the Lexington South P.U.D. and therefore, has had its parks dedication
requirements already fulfilled.
Item #4 is the proposed O'Neil Center rezoning from agricultural to P.U.D. for
approximately 100 acres located just north of Yankee Doodle Road and west of
Lexington Avenue. This item was reviewed by the Advisory Planning Commission
on May 28th and has been recommended for denial. However, the Advisory Parks
Recreation Commission should review this proposed development and consider
the impacts on parks. Staff will make a presentation on possible alternatives
based on alternative scenarios for development of this 100 acres and property
to the north.
As always, the Planning Engineering Departments reports concerning these four
development proposals are included in the packet.
NEW BUSINESS
The first item under "New Business" is a discussion by the Advisory Commission
on the issue and need for, and the development of, a policy concerning
athletic field lighting. Staff has prepared a memorandum regarding this
particular item.
PARK DEVELOPMENT
The three items under the parks development program include a status report on
all park projects. A significant amount of progress has been made with the
parks construction program which staff would like to update the Commission on.
The Architect Selection Committee met on Thursday, May 30, to review four
firms considered for parks development work. Three Commission members and
Councilman Ted Wachter unanimously and independently selected the firm of
Schwarz —Weber Architects as their choice. Department staff will present this
recommendation to the City Council on June 4th for action in order to complete
an architectural services contract with the firm. No starting date has been
set pending Council approval and the successful completion of a contract.
The third item relates to the proposed athletic site acquisition at Cliff and
Highway #3• Attached to this packet is a letter from Mr. Milt Peterson
responding to staff's letter offering a purchase price of $310,000. You will
note from Mr. Peterson's letter that there is a wide gap between the City's
offer and Mr. Peterson's expectations. I have responded to him indicating
that I would be presenting this letter to the Commission at its June 6th
meeting for additional consideration, also indicating to him that it was
unlikely the Commission would react favorably to this purchase price. Staff
is estimating the difference between the City's estimated value and that of
Mr. Peterson's at nearly $150,000. At the Commission meeting, staff would
like to review the status of this for additional discussion as well as other
alternatives which the Commission may wish to see staff explore.
There are four items under "Other Business" including setting of a July
meeting date. Normally, the Commission would meet on the first Thursday of
July which, in this instance, is July 4th.
Included in the packet is the maintenance report and update of the activities
being performed by the Parks Maintenance Division. Staff would be happy to
respond to any questions by the Commission relative to this report.
Number three under "Other Business" is an update on the Kehne House and the
progress at this location. Staff has recently rented this facility to a young
couple engaged to be married this month. The young man is a carpenter by
trade and has already begun initiating some repairs to the structures, i.e.
plumbing, bathroom, exterior, soffit boards and the like. Tenants were
screened from a number of applications and we are most pleased to have someone
who appears to take a real interest in caring for the structure while residing
in it.
The last item under "Other Business" is a report on the July 4th /Eagan
Celebration Committee's use of Rahn Park for its festivities.
At this time, there are no other items for the Advisory Commission to be
considered; however, staff would be happy to respond to other questions or
issues raised by Commission members.
Respectfully submitted,

Commission member Bertz noted that under the item "Spiashland Water Park," it
was Mike Fedde who had noted the facility is much like a bowling alley and
should not receive special credit consideration. Also, on page four Commision
member Masin indicated that she preferred a different name altogether for
"Schwanz Lake Park." On a motion by Alt, seconded by Ketcham, the minutes of
April 4 were approved as corrected.

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
A. Su nset 7th Addition Randy Barrows
Greg Ingraham, Assistant Planner, stated that the item is a two lot_
subdivision on a parcel presently zoned residential. The Planning Commission
has already approved the plat and the Commission's option is for a cash
dedication. Commission member Fedde moved, Ketcham seconded, tQ accept cash
dedication. All voted in favor.

Adv. Parks Rec. Comm.
May 2, 1985
B. Williams LaRue Second D.H. LaRue
This proposal calls for replatting two large lots into five on a site near
Lexington and Wescott. All of the lots conform to the minimum lot size, but
an easement will have to be obtained to access lot one. The Planning
Commission requires that the area must have sewer. Parks Recreation
Director Vraa noted that the developer is responsible for trail and sidewalk.
Commission member Carroll moved, Bertz seconded, motion carried the
recommendation for a cash dedication on four lots and sidewalk along Wescott
and a trail on the east side of Lexington Avenue.
C. Lexington Place South Second U.S. Home Corporation
Greg Ingraham, Assistant Planner, presented the background report on Lexington
Place and the original Lexington Place South Addition. Previously the
Lexington Place South Addition had called for Outlots A and C to be utilized
as a private recreational area. The developers now propose to rearrange some
of the lots and plat an additional 16 lots to cover both outlots.
Representing the developers at the evening meeting were Jim Nervik, Joe Franks
and Chuck Winden.
Director Vraa noted that the Advisory Planning Commission asked the Parks
Recreation Commission to review the changed proposal and tabled the item until
the review was made. The Planning Commission wanted to know if the Parks
Commission wanted land dedication, if the Commission felt the proposal
addresses recreational needs and how the changed proposal will affect the City
park system.
Mr. Nervik said the new platting will have the lot lines right through the
ponding areas so that all the land will be privately owned. He also said
there will not be a homeowners association as was planned originally. He
indicated that U.S. Home Corporation did not sell any units and felt they had
to make major changes in order to market the lots. Chuck Winden said the lots
will be 60' in width and not have zero lot lines as was shown in the original
proposal.
Commission member Kubik said he was upset with the proposed changes from the
original development. The development places too big a burden on the
Lexington Place recreational area. He says that area is not well managed, not
appropriate for young children and is already inadequate without adding more
residents. Chairman Martin agreed. He said that the area needs some
recreational space of its own. He wondered if parkland could be obtained to
relieve the added burden to the park system. Director Vraa said the City
cannot get parkland because the developers have already paid the cash
dedication on the original proposal with less than an acre possible for the
"new" lots. He continued on by indicating that there is a lot to provide
access to the east and eventually to the park /school segment about one quarter
mile away. He noted, however, that there has been no firm decision made as to
a school site.
Commission member Bertz said it is difficult to do anything at this point
except to accept-cash dedication for the lots. She felt frustrated because
had the Commission known that the plans would be changed later, they would
have opted for a land dedication or open space requirement when the project
was first proposed.

Adv. Parks Rec. Comm.
May 2, 1985
Commission member Carroll felt there was more green space when the site was
originally proposed for multiple housing. He felt the Commission acted in
good faith when it originally approved the outlots' use for recreational
purposes. Commission member Fedde agreed. He said the original plan was
approved with outlots for recreational space and they should be left as open
space. Tony Caponi said the Commission now has a different circumstance and
should consider not accepting the plan for the 16 lots. Commission member Alt
said it is not a desirable situation and she did not like it, but if the
proposal is approved by the Council then cash dedication should be recommended
for the 16 lots.
Commission member Kubik moved, Alt seconded, the following motion for
recommendation to the Council.
The proposal is not desirable!! The Commission does not like being
maneuvered by the developer into this type of situation. The
Commission does not like to make decisions on incomplete information,
nor do they like a proposal without green space. Commission members
are concerned with the added pressure on neighborhood parks. The
Commission does not like the proposal period! The members agreed
they would like to review the proposal again after Planning Commission
action.
The motion carried unanimously.
D. Federal Land Rezoning
The Commission was asked to respond to a concept "plan for uses of land
immediately south of Rahn Park. Earlier the members had voiced objections to
what they regarded as inappropriate uses such as a car care center and
restaurants. Greg Ingraham said the Planning Commission denied the proposal
on the basis that there are enough office buildings in the area to take care
of needs :for some time to come. The Planning Commission also noted that the
comp, plan shows the land for R3 use.
Director Vraa noted the options which might be considered by the Commission:
Decisions could be made with each plat. A developers' agreement should
state the conditions, e.g. preference to review each use, desire for a
tree inventory, good screening, enforcement of landscape policy, etc.
A lengthy discussion ensued followed by a motion by Commission member Kubik,
seconded by Fedde, which called for low density, well designed multiple
housing (R3.) If that were not feasible, then well designed commercial uses
which must be compatible with Rahn Park would be acceptable. The motion
failed. Commission member Kubik then called for a buffer of R3 by the park
with commercial along Cliff Road, with a second made by Richard Carroll.
After further discussion, the motion was withdrawn.

Adv. Parks Rec. Comm.
May 2, 1985
Tony Caponi moved, Chairman Martin seconded, the following:
If the City Council approves the rezoning, then the Parks Commission
will accept the concept plan as shown in relation to the park. The
landscape policy must be adhered to. A developers' agreement must
include a tree survey which might necessitate a modification of the
above recommendation if too many trees are affected, a determination
of location for the trail connection to the park, appropriate
screening for the parking lot, loading docks, etc. and buildings,
drainage for parking lots and rooftops should not impact the park.
There must be a trail on Cliff Road. A car care facility is
inappropriate to -the site.
All voted in favor.
E. Norse Development Company Peter Stalland
The developer has a preliminary plat proposal on 11.5 acres for a hotel,
shopping center, restaurant, drive -up bank and similar type uses. It was
noted that a trail is already going in on County Road 30.
Commission member Carroll moved, Fedde seconded, to accept cash dedication for
the proposed development. It was also recommended to apply the landscape plan
policy to the proposal. All voted in favor.
t F. Finishing_Equipment Waiver of Plat
The parcel presently has 3.1 acres and the owner wishes to split off 157 feet
as a separate lot. Commission member Fedde moved, Bertz seconded, the
recommendation to accept a cash dedication for the new lot. The motion
carried.
G. Frontier Midwest Informational
This is a new revision of Hampton Heights which now shows 130 lots compared
with 190 in the original proposal. The Advisory Planning Commission approved
the revised development. Parks Recreation Director Vraa advised the
Commission that a trail should still be included within development along the
realigned Coachman Road.
Commission member Kubik voiced opposition to the proposal. He said there was
too much development on the site and that the City was being asked to
accomodate developers. Commission member Caponi agreed. He did not like the
way the proposal has gone through the City process.
No action was required, but Director Vraa did tell the Commission that the
owner wishes to give to the City the 4.3 acre pond (Outlot B) immediately east
of Coachman Road with no strings attached. Commission member Kubik thought
the City should look at this type of area for future needs, although he did
realize they would present maintenance problems. Director Vraa noted the pond
area will be part of the City's ponding system or it can be retained as an
open space /wildlife area. Commission member Masin moved, Alt seconded, to be
willing to accept "Outlot B" which shall be designated as open space /preserve.
All voted in favor.

H. Thomas Lake Place Jack Safar Informational
This is the 17.5 acre site east of Thomas Lake Road proposed for 228 unit
apartment costruction. Mr. Safar appeared before the Commission earlier in
the year with a tree inventory and placement of the buildings to save as many
trees as possible. Greg Ingraham reported that the Advisory Planning
Commission denied the proposal because of potential drainage /erosion problems,
the visual impact it will have on the area and the necessity to remove trees.
No action was required of the Commission.
OLD BUSINESS
There was no "Old Business" before the Parks Recreation Commission.
NEW BUSINESS
The proposed gift of Outlot B (Hampton Heights) was discussed as part of
Development Proposals, Item G.
PARK DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
A:._ Architect Selection Committee
Parks Recreation Director Vraa indicated that three to four architects would
be presented for final interviewing later this month, probably the week of May
20. He asked that the Committee be appointed. ,Commission members agreed that
the Architect Selection Committee will be comprised of Director Vraa, Council
member Wachter, Tony Caponi and Richard Carroll.
B. Athletic Site Discussion
Parks Recreation Director Vraa said the appraisal on the southerly site was
$9,500 an acre, or $310,000, for the parcel. He anticipated that that offer
would not be accepted as the owner has been mentioning a much higher figure.
Stephen Sullivan then addressed the pluses and minuses of the site offered by
Opus near the bulk mail plant. He said the area has a 5 -10% slope, generally
with an 8 -20% slope in the north section. The developer, Opus Corporation, is
proposing a 27 —acre site of which 17 acres is a pond. The pond is part of the
City's drainage system. Steve presented two concept plans, one showing four
soccer fields with parking. The other plan had two soccer fields and two
softball fields with parking. Opus Corporation would provide access to the
site. Negative aspects of the area are noise, access, and the small amount of
usable space. The positive aspects are the ability to have lighted fields and
active area without disturbing residential neighboring areas.
After further discussion, Commission member Caponi moved, Kubik seconded, to
recommend the City begin negotiations by offering $310,000 for the southerly
site. All voted in favor.

C. Spring Construction Contract Informational
Director Vraa stated that seven bids had been received, with the contract
awarded to Central Landscaping Company for $476,000. He noted the estimate
was $513,000. He anticipates work will start May 27 or sooner.
OTHER BUSINESS
A. Park Planning Cooperative Discussion
Director Vraa said he was pleased with the turn out and general comments
received. He suggested the Commission seek more in —depth discussion with
Dakota County in the fall. He also thought the City Commissions could get
together to discuss mutual problems. Chairman Martin was in favor of the
Commission exchange and wanted to include common purchases as an agenda item.
Director Vraa said there is a possibility that Burnsville and Eagan may want
to buy a bombey together to maintain the ski trails. Tony Caponi wondered if
representatives of the Commissions should meet or just Commission members who
are interested. Chairman Martin and Ken Vraa will discuss future meetings of
the communities with their counterparts.
B. May 9 "Lights On" At Northview Park
The ceremonial turning on of the lights will be Thursday,_ May 9,�at 8:15 P.M.
"Notables" who will throw the switches include the Mayor and Council, Lee
Graff, Roger Martin, Dorothy Peterson and Steve Taylor of Parks Maintenance.
C. Next Commission Meeting
Director Vraa did not see the need for a second meeting in May and the
Commission agreed.
D. Landscape Plan Policy
Staff noted that park development planning had been taking up a great deal of
work time, but that they hoped to have the landscape plan in final form by
July.
E. Kehne House
Director Vraa said the papers have been signed and work on the roof should
start soon. He commented that the quote on the windows was too high and cost
estimates will be again reviewed.
F. Fish Lake Clean —Up
In response to Chairman Martin's inquiry, staff said they have not done any
more work on Fish Lake plans, but will work on it soon and get back to Roger.
G. Miscellaneous
It was noted that over half of the garden plots have been spoken for
already Pilot Knob School favorably commented on work done by the Eagan
Parks Department.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT EAGLES NEST VILLAGE
APPLICANT: MC. R.S. INDUSTRIES INC
LOCATION: LOTS 101 -104, BLOCK 1, MEADOWLANDS 1ST ADD.
EXISTING ZONING: MULTI FAMILY, UNDER THE EAGAN HILLS WEST P.D.
DATE OF .PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 28, 1985
DATE OF REPORT: MAY 22, 1985
REPORTED BY: GREG H.INGRAHAM, ASSISTANT PLANNER
REVIEWED BY: DALE C.RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting Preliminary
Plat approval of Eagles Nest Village which contains 14 townhouse
units on 1.4 acres located east of Rahn Road, north of Shale
Lane and west of Bear Path Trail. The townhouse units are planned
to be owner occupied dwellings, half of which would be constructed
as handicapped accessible.
ZONING AND LAND USE: The parcel is part of the Eagan Hills West
Planned Development and is currently platted into four residential
lots. At the February 1, 1983 City Council meeting the use of
the parcel was established as an 18 unit multi family building.
In 1976 a 32 unit multi- family building was approved on- this
site. The size of the parcel has been reduced to 1.4 acres from
the original 2.0 acres in 1976. The attached City Council minutes
summarize the zoning history.
The land consists of a knoll which slopes to the southwest and
northeast. Grasses cover the site and several large oak trees
are located on the knoll. All of the oak trees would be removed
to provide a level area for this proposal. Six duplex units
are to the south of the site, single family homes lie to the
north, west and east, and Rahn School and Rahn Park are to the
SW of the site.
CODE COMPLIANCE: The proposed 14 townhouse units are a four
unit reduction from the 1983 plan. The buildings maintain a
30' setback to all right -of -ways. The standard setback from
Rahn Road is 50 Shale Lane is 40' and Bear Path Trail is 30
The dwelling units cover 21% of the site and the garages cover
12% for a total building coverage of 33 The standard building
coverage maximum is 20% for R -4 zones. The normal lot size require-
ment for the 14 units would be 1.7 acres. A double garage is
provided for' each unit.
The main code compliance issue boils down to whether these one
story units with detached garages (which do not meet all the
standard requirements) are preferable to a two or three story
Preliminary Plat Eagles Nest Village
May 28, 1985
Page 2
structure which could meet the code requirements.
SITE PLANNING: Access to the project would be off of Rahn Road.
Sidewalks connect the units to the garage areas. As shown,
the garages are set back 15' from the north property line. They
could be moved north 5' to allow more space at the interior of
the development. The long line of garages should receive some
architectural detailing or other treatment to break up the long
mass along the north property line. The retaining wall along
the north line could be incorporated into the garage walls and
would provide berming to screen the garage mass.
The dwellings are one story gable roofed with windows on one
side of the units. The twelve 2 bedroom and two 3 bedroom units
would be split up into three separate buildings.
Five of the fourteen units are oriented for proper solar access
(south side of dwelling is within 15 of due south) Due to
the common walls of these dwellings, energy costs should be 24%
less than similar sized detached single family homes.
GRADING /DRAINAGE: The major topographical features of this proposed
development consist of a ridge at about a 901 elevation and a
depression at an 884 elevation. The proposed grading plan indicates
removing about 9' of material from the ridge. This material
apparently is to be placed within the depresssion to raise the
grade in that vicinity about 8 This grading is feasible and
in conformance with City policy and codes.
However, the grading of the driveway and parking lot does not
meet City requirements. The reason being that a high point in
the parking, between proposed lots 16 17, will direct runoff
to the east and to the west of this high point. Because there
is no storm sewer in Bear Path Tr., the runoff to the east of
the parking lot high point must drain over land to reach Bear
Path Tr. This is in direct conflict with City requirements that
parking lot runoff be collected into storm sewer systems. This
eliminates over -land flow that causes erosion and sedimentation
problems. Staff recommends the grading of the parking lot /driveway
be such that drainage is to the west, towards Rahn Rd. An existing
30" storm sewer line is in place along the east side of Rahn
Rd. Catch basins installed near Rahn Rd can then collect the
parking lot runoff and direct it into the existing storm sewer
line. This is feasible and is in accordance with City requirements.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and watermain of sufficient size,
capacity and depth are available to this site along Rahn Rd.,
Shale La. and Bear Path Tr. This development proposes to connect
to the existing sanitary and water lines within Shale La. Staff
can recommend servicing lots 2 11 from Shale La. Lots 12
15 can be serviced off of two existing services along Bear Path
Tr. Using the existing services along Bear Path Tr will allow
the developer to shift the proposed sanitary sewer and water
Preliminary Plat Eagles Nest Village
May 28, 1985
Page 3
connection westerly to the vicinity of the existing sanitary
sewer manhole. This will save the developer the cost of one
additional manhole. The street restoration, along will all utility
service construction, will be the responsibility of this development.
STREETS: Streets and their functional classification, that border
this proposed development, are listed in the following table:
Existing Design
Street Name Designation Width Width
Rahn Rd Community Collector 36" 44"
Shale La Neighborhood Collector 44" 44"
Bear Path Tr Local Access 32" 32"
Rahn Rd is the only existing street not built to its ultimate
design section. In addition to widening Rahn Rd, an 8' bituminous
trailway is required along the east side of Rahn Rd to achieve
its ultimate design section. This trailway, along with the widening
costs, will be the responsibility of this development. Discussion
on this subject will follow under the ASSESMENTS paragraph.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: The platting of the Meadowlands 1st
Addition fulfilled the dedication requirements for public right-
of-way.
Because this is a replat of existing platted lots, the vacating
of drainage and utility easements over the internal lot lines
must occur prior to final plat approval. The dedication of utility
drainage easements for this preliminary plat shall be in accord-
ance with City code.
ASSESSMENTS: Trunk area assessments related to this development
have previously been fulfilled.
Staff recommends that this development prepay its future respon-
sibility for the upgrading of Rahn Rd. City policy requires
the prepayment of future assessments for street upgrading where
multiple owned developments occur. The amount this development
is responsible for is determined as follows
116 F.F. x $28.47/F.F. 3,303
(1) Includes 75' corner lot credit
(2) Difference between residential equiv. multi. equiv.
1985 street rates
The rate in effect at the time of final platting will determine
the final amounts of this assessment. In addition, all costs
for the installation of all onsite improvements, including trailway,
is the sole responsibility of this development.

Council Minutes
February 1, 1983
EAGLE'S NEST HOME BETTY BASSETT
Application of Betty Bassett, Eagle's Nest Home for an amendment to the
Eagan Hills West Planned Development to allow a change in the proposed Eagle's
Nest Home and to allow R -2 as underlying zoning located on Lots 101 through
104, Block 1, Meadowlands 1st Addition, was next discussed. Mr. Hedges re-
viewed the background of the application of Mrs. Bassett and stated a public
hearing was held by the Advisory Planning Commission on January 11, 1983 to
consider the application. The amendment would include a request to change the
32 person occupancy of Eagle's Nest Home for the handicapped to an 18 person
facility and also to clarify the underlying zoning of the four lots. The
Advisory Planning Commission recommended that the application be reviewed by
the City Council to clarify the intent of the City Council when it acted upon
the application for the home in 1976. The City staff, including City Attorney
Paul Hauge, prepared a memorandum dated January 26, 1983 reviewing the
history, and Dale Runkle attached copies of'Minutes and other documents to the
packet distributed to the Council. Mrs. Bassett was present and stated that
she wanted to remove the application for rezoning and requested that the City
Council only consider clarification of the underlying use on the property
within the planned development for Eagan Hills West.• She distributed copies
of a July 20, 1976 letter from Charles Slocum, together with survey attached,
indicating that Parcel 3 on the Hedlund survey of 1976 did not conform with
the current four lots, but indicated that the intention was that Parcel 3 on
that survey was the parcel that was originally intended for Eagle's Nest Home,
consisting of two acres. It was noted that the acreage has now been reduced
and that the lots had been included in Meadowland 1st Addition. Councilman
Egan stated that the use should conform with the intent of the Advisory
Planning Commission and Council of 1976. Councilman Smith noted that Planning
Consultant Voss, in 1976, stated that the use was suitable and no rezoning
was required; further, that a less dense use is being proposed at the present
time. Councilman Wachter and Councilman Smith were on the Council in 1976 and
Mayor Blomquist was on the Advisory Planning Commission, each of which spoke
as to the recollection at that time when the application was submitted and
approved. A number of neighboring property owners in Meadowlands Addition
appeared, generally opposing the project. After extended discussion, Smith
moved, Egan seconded the motion that the Council be on record acknowledging
that the zoning of the property in 1976 at the time of the approval of the
Eagle's Nest Home 32 unit facility, in 1976 or prior, was for a multiple
residential use for reasons including the following:
1. He noted that Consultant Voss in 1976, stated that the property in
his Memorandum was suitable for the proposed use and that no rezoning was
required.
2. That the proposal of Mrs. Bassett at the present time is for less
dense use than that proposed in 1976.
3. That in the event that there is a reversion to the underlying
zoning, it could provide higher densities than the PUD concept if approved.

5: A building permit had been authorized in 1977 for 160 foot by 132
foot single -story structure.
6. That the land use to the south is R -2, that there is a large former
farm home to the north and that there are streets on the east and west;
further, that the four lots are larger than the standard lots in Meadowlands
lst Addition; further, that the planned development allowed for cluster home
use for up to 4 units per acre, which would appear to conform; that a town-
house proposal was approved in 1976 which would appear to reflect approxi-
mately an R -3 type zoning or use; that only one service stub was installed to
service the property; now there are four lots so that it may, even under R -1
zoning, provide for up to six handicapped persons per lot. A number of the
neighboring property owners had questions and comments, including objections
to the proposal stating that the proposed use would be too dense and possibly
the building would be too large for the site. Concerns were those of the
impact on children, the claim that there would be a' of buses involved
each day and the potential for converting the use to some other use. It was
noted that the decision was unanimous in 1976 by the Council. Lowell Berg, a
realtor, stated that the City staff had told him when he was selling homes in
the area, that the lots were zoned R -1. Mary Olson, the owner of the farm
home to the north, asked whether it's possible to build the same facility on
the 1.37 remaining acres, and Ms. Bassett stated that the facility could be
constructed and still conform with the ordinance requirements, noting that she
has acquired a building permit for the project. There are a number of single
family homes that have been built since the approval, and this appears to be
the only change in the circumstances. Councilman Egan stated that the central
issue is whether a change from 32 to 18 persons or units should constitute a
rezoning and it was his opinion that no rezoning would be required. Those in
favor were Smith, Egan, Blomquist and Thomas, against was Wachter. The motion
was adopted.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT SUNSET 8TH ADDITION
APPLICANT: TRI -LAND, INC. BRADLEY J SWENSON
LOCATION: PART OF THE Sh OF THE NA, SECTION 25
EXISTING ZONING: R -1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 28, 1985
DATE OF REPORT: MAY 22, 1985
REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING DEPTS.
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted to
replat Lot 7, Sunset 3rd Addition into 3 single family lots and
renamed Sunset 8th Addition.
ZONING LAND USE: Presently, the parcel is zoned R -1 and would
allow single family residents. The Comprehensive Guide also
designates this parcel as R -1 (residential single district) and
would allow a density of 0 3 dwelling units per acre.
COMMENTS: In 1983, the applicant submitted an application and
platted Sunset 3rd Addition consisting of 7 single family lots
at which time the owner of the property lived on lot 7. It would
be difficult to develop the remaining 3 acres because of the
topography of the area as it is very low and a substantial amount
of fill would have to be obtained in order to make the lots develop
able.
The owner has an existing house on what is lot 3 of the 8th Addition.
The lots being created, lots 1 2, are on the westerly portion
of the property and fill will have to be obtained and a grading
plan submitted in order to have these be buildable lots. Staff
understands that the road elevation will be lowered approx. 5
6' in the general area of lots 1 2 increasing the feasibility
of these 2 lots. Golden Meadow Rd is now being proposed to be
upgraded and installed to provide circulation to Northview Meadows.
With the construction and assessments of this road, the owner
was forced to try to salvage 2 additional lots to help offset
the cost of improvements to Golden Meadow Rd.
GRADING /DRAINAGE: The existing topography generally consists
of moderate to steeply sloping grassland. The moderate slopes
(less than 10 cover the vast majority of lots 2 3. The very
steep slopes (greater than 20 occur within lot 1. The slopes
on lot 1 will be softened somewhat by the lowering of Golden
Meadow Rd. Under Project #418 -R, Golden Meadow Rd will be lowered
approx. 5' 6' across the frontage of lot 1. Some of the excess
material generated from the lowering of this. road will be placed
as fill material in lot 1. Staff is not aware of the exact amount
of fill or what the finished contours will look like. A 10'
setback Variance may be necessary for lot 1. A proposed grading
PRELIMINARY PLAT SUNSET 8TH ADD
MAY 28, 1985
PAGE 2
plan over this area would be beneficial in determining the necessity
of this Variance. No grading plan was submitted to Staff for
review with this application. Therefore, a condition for approval
of this proposed Preliminary Plat must include that a detailed
grading and erosion control plan be submitted to Staff.
UTILITIES: Project #418 -R is under construction and provides
for the installation of sanitary sewer and watermain to service
this proposed development.
STREETS: Project #418 -R also provides for the installation of
Golden Meadow Rd along the entire frontage of this proposed develop-
ment. Completion of this segment of Golden Meadow Rd under Project
#418 -R will complete the connection of the Northview Addition
to Dodd Rd.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: This development shall dedicate a 30'
half right -of -way for Golden Meadow Rd. The City presently has
a highway easement for this portion of right -of -way. The dedication
of this right -of -way with this proposed development will be much
neater because the right -of -way will be included with the plat
rather than a separate document.
Utility drainage easements shall be dedicated adjacent public
right -of -way and interior lot lines as required by City Code.
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.
CONDITIONS:
1. No Variances be allowed on lots 1 2 or the grading plan
and house pad elevations should be shown at this time to
determine if a Variance will be required from the front setback.
2. All standard plat conditions shall apply.
3. A 30' half right -of -way be dedicated on the plat for Golden
Meadow Rd.
4. All general engineering recommendations, which apply to this
development, be adhered to.

APPLICANT: TRI -LAND INC., BRADLEY J. SWENSON
LOCATION: PART OF THE Sz OF THE NW4 OF SECTION 25

DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 26, 1983
DATE OF REPORT: JULY 20, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION*SUBMITTED The first application submitted is a request
to rezone approximately 5 acres from A (Agricultural) to R -1 (Residen-
tial Single District) located in part of the SZ of the NW4 of Section
25.
The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat
approval, Sunset 3rd Addition, which would consist of approximately
5 acres and contain 7 single family lots.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the parcel is zoned Agricultural and would only allow one
home per 5 acres. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this par-
cel as R -1 (Residential Single District) and would allow a density of
0 -3 dwelling units per acre.
COMMENTS
The proposed parcel is located directly east of Overview Estates Re-
plat, a single family residential area. To the north is Sunset 2nd
Addition, which is a subdivision that was recently approved also con
taining single family lots. The property to the west is presently
large lots or basically undeveloped, and the area to the south is
comprised of large 5 -acre agriculturally -zoned tracts.
Access to this parcel would be by Golden Meadow Road which has been
improved to the westerly edge of Overview Estates. The applicant is
proposing to construct a cul -de -sac, Golden Meadow Court, which would
provide access to six single family lots. Lot 7 presently is the
homestead of the original property owner and wishes to include his
home in this particular plat. The reason Lot 7 is so large is that
the only buildable portion of the lot is on the easterly side where
the existing home is located. The area westerly will be a ponding
area, or a low area, which will probably not be developed in the
near future. Therefore, the applicant is requesting the six lots

and platting his own home as Lot 7 which would contain the rest of
the acreage.
In review of this preliminary plat,'the first six lots contain 12,000
square feet and a minimum of 85' frontage at the 30' setback. There-
fore, all lots in this preliminary plat meet the minimum R -1 zoning
standards.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) No variances be allowed for side setbacks except for topograph-
ic or vegetation reasons.
2) "The plat shall be subject to the Park Commission's review for
park dedication.
3) A development agreement shall be entered into and signed by the
applicant prior to final plat application.

ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
4) If streets and utilities are to be installed privately, then the
plans and specifications shall be prepared by a registered engi-
neer in accordance with City standards.
5) In addition to typical utility and drainage easements, a 20'
utility easement shall be required over the common lot line be
tween Lots 3 and 4,and an easement of sufficient width over the
westerly portion of Lot 7 will also be required for storm sewer.
6) A 30' half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Golden Meadow Road.
7) All costs associated with extending the existing Golden Meadow
Road and the utilities within Golden Meadow Road and also the
internal street and utilities shall be the sole responsibility
of this development.

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: JULY 21, 1983
SUBJECT: SUNSET 3RD ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments for consideration by the Planning Commission
and City Council regarding this proposed development.
I. DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
This proposed development is located within the SW4 of the NA of
Section 25, just west of Overview Estates and north of Golden Mea-
dow Road. The topography for this area consists of rolling terrain.
The slopes associated with this terrain are approximately 7 -8% over
most of this parcel except the northwest corner where the slopes
approach 20o to the natural existing depression located there. The
existing drainage for Lots 1 -6 around Golden Meadow Court is gen-
erally to the south, towards Golden Meadow Road while the drainage
over Lot 7 is towards the depression located near the northwest cor-
ner of this lot.
The proposed grading over this parcel will be limited to the grad-
ing within Golden Meadow Court since the existing topography can be
easily-adapted to building upon. Subsequently, the drainage will
remain the same as it is presently. Lot 7 contains the existing
house on this parcel and would require no grading since the north-
westerly portion of this lot is considered unbuildable due to the
steep slopes and huge amounts of fill which would be required to
try to make it buildable. The drainage from Golden Meadow Court
is being proposed to be collected by storm sewer and deposited with-
in the 24" storm sewer located within Golden Meadow Road. This, in
turn, outlets into Schwanz Lake located to the southwest of this
development. Figure 1 illustrates this development's location with-
in the Schwanz Lake (Pond LP -32) area. Presently this pond does
not have an outlet, however, a feasibility report for installing
the trunk storm sewer outlet to this pond has been authorized by
the Council with construction being anticipated to begin this fall.
II. UTILITIES
Utilities exist within Golden Meadow Road in the proximity of this
proposed development of sufficient size, capacity and depth to pro
vide service to it. Figure 2 reveals the existing utilities within
Golden Meadow Road and includes a 24" storm sewer, an 8" water main,
and an 8" sanitary sewer.
To service this parcel with utilities, it will be necessary to ex-
tend both the water main and sanitary sewer within Golden Meadow
Road to the west and terminate at a point at least 60' west of the
ENGINEERING REPORT
SUNSET 3RD ADDITION
JULY 26, 1983
PAGE TWO
east lot line of Lot 7. Golden Meadow Court is proposed to be ser-
viced from the utilities within Golden Meadow Road. An 8" sewer
will be required to be constructed within Golden Meadow Court along
with a 6" water main which shall extend to the north property line
of this parcel to connect with the proposed water main for Sunset
2nd Addition. Meanwhile, it is being proposed to extend a short
lead from the existing storm sewer to the north to intercept the
runoff from Golden.Meadow Court.
III. STREETS
Access to this proposed development is currently from Golden Meadow
Road. This is presently a paved City street, 34' wide with concrete
curb and gutter to approximately the east property line of this pro-
posed development. From there it extends west as a gravel road and
ends approximately 200' west of the east line of Lot 7. From there,
it is just a dirt trail to the end of the parcel.
The proposed access to the internal Lots 1 -6, Block 1 is by way of
Golden Meadow Court which is a 130' cul -de -sac off of Golden Meadow
Road. This is well within the maximum length for cul -de -sacs as
outlined in the City Code. It is recommended that Golden Meadow
Road be constructed to its ultimate design of 34' wide bituminous
surfacing with concrete curb and gutter to a point at least 60' west
of the east line of Lot 7. Similarly, Golden Meadow Court.should
also be 34' wide with concrete curb and gutter and bituminous sur-
facing. No trailways or sidewalks will be required since Golden
Meadow Road is not a collector street.
IV. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
West of Overview Estates, Golden Meadow Road exists as a 60' ease-
ment which was dedicated in 1971. Nevertheless, this proposed de-
velopment should dedicate a 30' half right -of -way for Golden Mea-
dow Road along with this proposed preliminary plat. In addition,
Golden Meadow Court is proposed to be platted with a 50' right -of-
way with the cul -de -sac radius being 60'. This right -of -way for
Golden Meadow Court shall be dedicated with this plat.
A typical 10' utility easement shall be dedicated along all public
ly dedicated right -of -way. In addition, a 10' drainage and utility
easement shall be dedicated over all interior lot lines with a 5'
drainage and utility easement being dedicated adjacent to all ex-
terior lot lines. An exception to this would be that a 20' ease-
ment should be dedicated over the common lot line between Lots 3
and 4 to incorporate the proposed water main. Finally, a utility
easement of sufficient width will be required for storm sewer out-
let construction resulting from the Sunset 1st and 2nd Additions.
At this time, it is not possible to determine an exact location for
this easement, however, it will probably be located within the wes-
tern portion of Lot 7. The exact location will not be known until

V. ASSESSMENTS
A check on assessments has revealed that both trunk area water and
trunk area sanitary sewer have been previously assessed, leaving
only trunk area storm sewer to be assessed. However, this devel-
opment's responsibility for this assessment has been fulfilled as
it will be listed as a pending assessment under Project 383 (Schwanz
Lake trunk storm sewer outlet).
All costs associated with extending existing utilities and streets
and also installing the internal utilities and streets shall be the
sole responsibility of this development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail
with the Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting on July 26,
1983.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: REZONING TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
R J O'NEIL CENTER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
APPLICANT: R J O'NEIL
LOCATION: PART OF THE Sh OF SECTION 10, NORTH OF
YANKEE DOODLE RD, WEST OF LEXINGTON AV, EAST OF
EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL) I -35E
R -4 (RESIDENTIAL /MULTIPLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 28, 1985
DATE OF REPORT: MAY 21, 1985
REPORTED BY: DALE C RUNKLE
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting
a commercial planned development which would consist of approx.
120 acres. The planned development would have approx. 100 acres
of commercial uses. These would include limited business, roadside
business high tech office /warehouse, road right -of -way and
ponding easements. The remaining 20 acres are proposed to remain
R -4 (residential multiple) in accordance with the existing zoning.
ZONING LAND USE: Presently the property is zoned A (agricultural)
and in the past there have not been any development proposals
to the City, therefore, the agricultural zoning is the original
zoning of this property. The Comprehensive Guide designates
this property as P. -III (mixed residential) with a density of
5- 12 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is requesting
that approx. 100 acres of the 120 be converted to limited business,
roadside business, high tech office /warehouse, ponding road
right -of -way. Any change from the residential designation, on
the Comp. Guide, will require an amendment to the Comp. Plan
processed through the Metropolitan Council.
COMMENTS: In review of this parcel, the property lies north
of Yankee Doodle Rd, east of I -35E west of Lexington Av. This
parcel is the only undeveloped, high density residential area
north of Yankee Doodle Rd. To the south is the 170 acres of
commercial, known as Town Centre 100 Town Centre 70, and to
the east is presently undeveloped industrial land. To the north
are some R -4 (residential multiples) and the bulk mail center
and to the west is the I -35E alignment. Reviewing the Comprehensive
Guide regarding this parcel, the main reason it was designated
an R -III is because there was an existing plat recorded on the
property north, however, this property has not been developed
at this time. It has always been looked at as a questionable
piece as to what the designation should be; a high density resident-
ial or a commercial/ industrial development, which would probably
be more compatible to the uses to the south and east and also
compatible with the I -35E right -of -way. It appears that this
could be one of the parcels in the City that could be a commercial
piece as well as a multiple.
R J O'NEIL CENTER PD
MAY 28, 1985
PAGE 2
The land uses proposed, in the R J O'Neil Planned Development,
consist of approx. 36 acres of limited business, or 507,400 S.F.
of building area; 16.8 acres of roadside business, or approx.
220,300 S.F. of roadside business use; 17.7 acres of high tech
office /warehouse, which is the new terminology for business /whse.
consisting of approx. 50 60% office and 50 40% warehouse
with brick veneer versus standard concrete block. The high tech
square footage would be approx. 231,400 and lastly the ponding
areas of approx. 14.2 15 acres. These would make up the uses
within the commercial part of the P.D. In reviewing the areas
and calculations, the limited businESS was figured at a floor
area ratio of .2, the roadside business .3, and high tech approx.
.2. These ratios are based in accordance with the square footage
allowed in the Eagan Zoning Ordinance with the standard 20
30% building coverage.
Besides the overall use, the applicants have provided a road
plan as to how circulation would be developed on this property.
They are showing two accesses onto Yankee Doodle Rd. one east /west
street which would connect with Lexington Av. The applicants
have reasonably designed the street pattern in accordance with
the severe topogaphy of this site and it appears to be one of
the only feasible ways to develop this property and be able to
provide proper access. The only issue is the most easterly of
the two accesses onto Yankee Doodle Rd. As you can see, these
accesses are offset and could be an issue as to where specifically
the access will occur onto Yankee Doodle Rd. The second issue
in regard to the commercial use and circulation is in review
of the sewer flows that are available on this property. It appears
that the City does not have the capacity to handle a multiple
family development compared to being able to handle commercial
development which has a lesser flow rate than multiple. Additional
trunk lines would have to be installed to obtain capacity to
service multiple residential. Engineering can address this specific
issue regarding sewer capacity and flows between multiple commer-
cial uses.
The last issue is that the main reason to look at uses and as
to how this area will develop, was because of the development
south of Yankee Doodle Rd. With the development of Town Centre
70 100, there was not enough storm sewer capacity without obtain-
ing additional ponding areas and easements on this property.
Once the City informed Mr. O'Neil of the additional need of the
City storm sewer system, the developer has been working with
the City to determine what the ponding needs will be for the
overall master storm sewer plan. Also, how he can develop the
property in accordance with determining the ponding needs of
the City. Therefore, the PD was initiated because of the City's
need for ponding areas. The developer has reacted to put together
a master plan as to how the 120 acre parcel can develop. At
this time there is no specific user but parcels and circulation
have been established which could be split off and developed
individually in an orderly fashion.
R J O'NEIL CENTER PD
MAY 28, 1985

The engineering department would like to comment on two areas
of concern regarding the O'Neil Planned Development. One area
relates to sanitary sewer capacity and the other relates to access
alignment onto Yankee Doodle Road.
SANITARY SEWER
The concern of the engineering department relates to the capacity
of the 15 inch trunk sanitary sewer line within Mike Collins
Drive. The installation of this line occurred in 1970. Apparently
at that time, the intention was not to provide service to sub
districts N -W, N -Y, and N -X as indicated on figure one. Apparently,
the original intent for servicing these areas was to extend a
trunk line from the lift station on County Road 63 -A. However,
at some subsequent date the Comprehensive Sewer Plan changed
to its present layout. The only way the 15 inch trunk sanitary
sewer will experience any capacity problems will be if one or
several high users develop within the subdistricts tributary
to the 15 inch trunk. If all the development within the tributary
area designated for industrial use consists of low users, then
the 15 inch line will probably not experience any capacity problems.
The impact of the O'Neil Planned Development on the 15 inch trunk
sanitary sewer consists of the type of use and some additional
area from subdistrict C -H2 being added to the tributary area.
The proposal to rezone from R -3 use to a commercial use would
decrease the wastewater flows by approximately 26%. The area
being added to the tributary area for the 15 inch trunk from
the O'Neil P.D. consists of a portion of the southwest quarter
of Section 10 (40 acres). The reason for removing these 40 acres
from subdistrict C -H2 was that it was not economically feasible
to extend the 12 inch trunk sewer within Denmark Drive at a depth
to serve these 40 acres.
In summary, a potential capacity problem exists within the 15
inch trunk sanitary sewer in Mike Collins Drive. Also, the design
flows from a commercial development are approximately 26% less
then from a R -3 (multiple residential). Staff does not feel
these issues merit a recommendation either for or against this
proposed Planned Development. The Planning Commission must consider
these factors with regard to the entire land use issue.
STREETS
At issue here is the offset between the proposed easterly access
onto Yankee Doodle Road and the access to the 10 story high -rise.
It is the staff's understanding from the Dakota County Highway
Department that all accesses will be required to line up on Yankee
Doodle Road. This is because of the anticipated high traffic
volumes between Lexington Avenue and 35 -E. This is feasible
from an engineering standpoint. Staff will review this item t
upon the receipt of a Preliminary Plat.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: JUNE 3, 1985
RE: PARKS MAINTENANCE UPDATE
Periodically, staff has reported to the Advisory Commission on ongoing
maintenance activities. Activities during the past three to four weeks can
best be characterized by the word "mowing The unprecedented summerlike
temperatures in the latter part of April and early part of May caused the
start of an early growing season and the need to begin our mowing of parks at
the earliest ever recorded date. This has resulted in a significant amount of
fulltime staff being utilized for parks mowing and maintenance. Typically,
mowing does not begin in earnest until approximately May 10 with the heaviest
concentration of mowing during the latter part of the month. This year,
however, all mowing was moved up by at least two weeks and the heaviest mowing
encountered prior to the start of seasonal employees. As of May 31, four of
six seasonal employees have reported with the two remaining employees
scheduled to begin the first week in June. The addition of these seasonal
employees will help immensely with the fulltime crew getting back to its
"routine" responsibilities.
In addition to the heavy mowing encountered in the last several weeks, staff
has been preparing athletic fields for both adult and youth activities. Eagan
Athletic Association began its youth baseball program two weeks earlier
requiring the department to perform its field dragging and striping operations
earlier than had been expected. Staff maintains these ball fields on an
established schedule based on field usage. In addition to baseball /softball
activities, spring soccer programs have begun for the Eagan Athletic
Association. These facilities have been prepared for their use with the
installation of new soccer goals at Northview and Blue Cross /Blue Shield
Fields. The soccer goals were constructed by the Parks Maintenance staff with
one set yet to be completed and installed.
Parks maintenance activities are well behind that which are normally
accomplished by this time period. Aerification of athletic fields was
completed at Northview and Rahn while other park sites were not completed as
anticipated due to the heavy spring rush of activities. The weed spraying
program is approximately 50 -60% completed with the majority of the remaining
sites to be done being neighborhood park facilities. It is anticipated that
these sites will yet be completed within the next several working days,
weather permitting.
In addition to the construction of the soccer goals, the department has
prepared 24 picnic tables and constructed 12 new tables during the months of
March and early April. All equipment was prepared for summer operation with a
complete going —over of all mechanical components of mowers, decks, spray
equipment and similar pieces of parks maintenance equipment. All bicycle
trails were swept in late April by parks maintenance staff. For Commission
information, it required approximately 4 1/2 man days to sweep all bituminous
trails within the City.
Forestry activities have also been getting geared up during the last several
weeks. All new trees that were planted in the fall of 1984 have been
unwrapped and restaked as necessary. Some tree removal has taken place when
needed and cleaning up of shrubs at City Hall and the Fire Administration
Building is now completed. Well over 50 diseased elm trees were removed from
Schwanz Lake Park in anticipation of the spring construction project.
Assisted by the Dakota County Parks Department, many of these diseased trees
were taken for sawmill use. Forestry activities scheduled in the next several
weeks include care of recently planted tree stock, nursery care, expansion by
approximately 60 new trees of nursery stock, and pruning and trimming
neighborhood parks. Several diseased trees are also scheduled for removal at
Goat Hill Park and the Kehne House.
With the month of June already upon us, parks maintenance crews have a busy
schedule of activities confronting them. The installation of play equipment
at Highview Park has begun and should be completed shortly. Crews will then
proceed to Ridgecliff Park with the installation of play equipment here as
well as construction of the hockey rink. Also scheduled to be completed are
Cinnamon Park, Oak Chase, South Oaks and Country Home. In all probability,
this play equipment installation will continue well into the first part of
August. Play perimeters are yet to be installed at Periodot Path and numerous
other repair, replacement and development projects are slated for the
maintenance personnel. All in all, the summer is going to be a very busy and
strenuous one for both fulltime and seasonal staff.
Should members of the Commission have any questions regarding the maintenance
activities or concerns relative to any of the maintenance work, please feel
free to contact the office for additional information.
Respectfully submitted,
Director of Parks Recreation

RE: ATHLETIC SITES
Dear Mr. Vaar:
in response to your proposal of acquisition of our parcel of property
located on Cliff Road and Highway 3, which is approximately.43.12 acres.
including the pond area.
We purchased the property from the Holzts back in 1970 or 1971. One
of the main reasons we acquired the property without hesitation was
because of the pond. Knowing the pond increases the value of the
surrounding area to ofset the cost of the 9.35 acres of water.
Another asset two major roads to the East and North, and last but not least
6 the way the land lays provides many choices for development. Thus being
ommercial, Residential, Townshouses or Athletic an R ecreational. Knowing
there are few ponds large or small left, and espec A y such a clean lake.
This lake has fishing, switming, canoeing, wild life. This could make
an excellent trail to walk or bike around the lake. Everyone enjoys
being around water, which increases the value of the property.
We feel that we have evaluated this property seriouly with a fair market
value. Our proposal to fir. Veer has not changed, but with one exception.
Our price per acre is 10,000 per acre 43.12 acres. We would agree to one change
we would pay the deliztluent taxes excluding assessments for 1984 and one half of
1985. Then all future assessements would be payable by the buyer.
The land owners would be very receptive to the recreational park. We also
would be willing to give you in writing the opportunity to purchase the
Holz 4.05 acres from us, at which time they choose to dispose of the
property. This would give you the entice lakeshore for future use.
We have other prospects on this parcel, and would appreciate your decision
on or before 6une 1, 1985. Thank you for the consideration and interest
in our property.
Sincerely,
city of czagan

LAKEVILLE, MN 55044
Dear Milt Marty:
I have received your letter of May 20 concerning the 43.13 acre parcel in
Eagan being offered for sale. Unfortunately, the Parks Recreation
Commission will not meet again until June 6 at which time it will consider
your letter. Based on previous discussions with the Commission, however, I
would seriously doubt that they would accept your proposal. Let me review for
you what the Commission has before them in terms of background information in
trying to determine its offering price.
1. The 43.12 acre parcel is zoned agricultural. Land use is designated as
single family with R2 along Highway 3. Commercial or multiple family use
is not likely based on the Comprehensive Guide Plan designation.
Therefore, the value of the property must be based on single family
residential use.
2. The lake (9.35 acres) and area between the lake and Cliff Road are
undevelopable for any purpose. Based on your $10,000 per acre price, this
would place a value of over $110,000 for the lake and unusable land.
Although the lake is beautiful, Commission would doubt its value at
$110,000. In essence, discounting of the lake as developable and usable
property, this would be an acquisition price of nearly $13,500 an acre for
the remaining developable and usable property. This figure far exceeds
any comparable land sales.
3. An independent appraisal of the land value is $9,500 an acre. (Again,
I would be happy to share that appraisal with you if you have an interest
in seeing how the appraisal was achieved.)
4. A'22 —acre parcel adjacent to Highway 3 is currently being offered for
$7,500 per acre.
5. A five —acre parcel within one —half mile radius was recently sold for
$10,000 per acre with all assessments paid.
6. The City is willing to pay the entire purchase price at one time, not on a
Contract for Deed. As part of a residential development, it is typical
for developers to purchase acreage in phases, purchasing only that
property which they intend to build on and only as fast as homes are
constructed and marketed. Considering the size of your parcel, three to
five years would not be unusual.
