ADJOURNMENT 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, I I Direc or Parks Recreation KV/ j s SUBJECT TO APPROVAL MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION EAGAN, MINNESOTA MAY 2, 1985 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Martin at 7 :08 P.M. Commission members present were Alt, Bertz, Masin, Carroll, Fedde, Ketcham, Caponi and Kubik. Commission member Thurston had notified the Commission she would be unable to attend. Staff present included Parks Recreation Director, Ken Vraa; Landscape Architect, Stephen Sullivan; Assistant Planner, Greg Ingraham; Parks Intern, Scott Morgan; and Administrative Assistant, Liz Witt. Representatives were present to discuss Lexington Place South Second Addition. AGENDA Chairman Martin added several items to "Other Business." On a motion by Carroll, seconded by Fedde, the agenda was approved as amended. MINUTES OF MARCH 28, 1985 Commission member Carroll moved, Fedde seconded, the minutes of March 28 be approved as presented. All voted in favor. MINUTES OF APRIL 4, 1985 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. MINUTES OF APRIL 18, 1985 RECREATION SUBCOMMITTEE Chairman Martin moved, Kubik seconded, the subcommittee minutes be approved as presented. The motion carried. MINUTES OF APRIL 18 1285-- SPECIAL MEETING OF FULL COMMISSION Corrections on page one under "Athletic site he has not recieved the appraisal not "approval as was shown and at the bottom of the page, the year should read 11 1989 11 not 11 1984." Chairman Martin moved, Alt seconded, that the minutes of April 18 be approved as corrected. All voted in favor. 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. 1 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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. May 2, 1985 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. 5 Adv. Parks Rec. Comm. May 2, 1985 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. 6 ADJOURNMENT On a motion by Fedde, seconded by Ketcham, the meeting was adjourned. Time of adjournment was 10:22. Dated: Advisory Parks Recreation Secretary 7 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. Preliminary Plat Eagles Nest Village May 28, 1985 Page 4 If approved the Preliminary Plat shall be subject to the following conditions: 1) Five visitor parking spaces shall be provided on site with signage designating them as such. 2) A detailed landscape plan shall be prepared showing species size and location for all plant material. Special attention shall be paid to landscaping due to the "tightness" of this development. An adequate landscaping bond ($10,000) shall be held until one year after the landscaping is installed. 3) All trash containers shall be stored inside the garages or suitably screened. 4) The garage layout shall be modified to break up the mass along the north property line. 5) All the standard Preliminary Plat conditions shall be adhered to. 00G25 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. 6 Council Minutes February 1, 1983 4. The developer had proposed in the original planned development, that the parcel be a proposed outlot, not a part of the single family district plat. 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.

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. t CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT SUNSET 3RD ADDITION APPLICANT: TRI -LAND INC., BRADLEY J. SWENSON LOCATION: PART OF THE Sz OF THE NW4 OF SECTION 25 EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT) 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 CITY OF EAGAN REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT SUNSET 3RD ADDITION JULY 26, 1983 PAGE TWO 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. DCR /jach 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. RMH /jach i 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 r ENGINEERING REPORT SUNSET 3RD ADDITION JULY 26, 1983 PAGE THREE preparation of final plans have been completed. 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. Respectfully submitted, Richard M. Hef P.E.

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 PAGE 3 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. R J O'NEIL CENTER PD MAY 28, 1985 PAGE 4 CONDITIONS: 1. This Planned Development should be reviewed by the Eagan Park Commission to determine if parkland will be required with the change to commercial zoning. An overall pedestrian circulation plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Park Commission prior to the final approval of the PD. 2. The Planned Development shall be reviewed by the Park Commission for park dedication for this overall PD. 3. The Planned Development Agreement shall be entered into by the developer and the City of Eagan. This Agreement shall attach the exhibits that are in the May 21, 1985 Staff Report. This Agreement shall be for a period of 5 10 years as deter mined by the City. 4. There is no platting being requested with this development plan, therefore, no development shall be allowed until the detailed first phase has been submitted for review and prelimi nary plat. 5. The PD should be reviewed by MnDot and Dakota County for their review and comment as the property abuts county state right -of -way. 6. An amendment shall be required of the City to change the Comprehensive Guide from R -III (mixed residential with a density of 6 12 dwelling units per acre) to commercial uses allowing limited business, roadside business high tech office warehouse. 7. The developer shall cooperate with the City of Eagan resolving the ponding area easements that are needed to be obtained for the Eagan storm sewer system. 8. The environmental assessment worksheets an environmental review will be determined on a phase by phase basis once the detailed plans have been submitted. r 0 A ON E y t :Np p c PIP i 411 E'. ;A A —R I I R-4 S. 0 IS Tio-- L %V IC i PD 77; Ll 4 r r, R-3 1.

O'NEIL CENTER CITY OF EAGAN �aYMe.R A i Rssec. MT 1954 STORM SEWER LAYOUT MAP 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 KV /js F may 20 1985 City Of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road P •O•eox 21199 Eagan, Mn. 55121 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 3830 PILOT KNOB ROAD, P.O. BOX 21199 BEA BLOMQUIST EAGAN, MINNESOTA 55121 Mayor PHONE: (612) 454 -8100 THOMAS ELAN JAMES A. SMITH May 24, 1985 JERRY THOMAS THEODORE WACHTER Council Members THOMAS HEDGES City Administrator MR MRS MILTON PETERSON EUGENE VAN OVERBEKE 23175 WOODLANE RD City Clerk 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.
