MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 1985
RE: FEBRUARY 7, 1985 PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA
Staff would like to "announce" that we have word that the grant for Schwanz
Lake Park has been approved The City has been authorized to proceed with the
project at this time. The department will receive $110,500 from Federal
L.A.W.C.O.N. funds and $55,250 from State LCMR funds. The January award of
this project will enable staff to include Schwanz Lake Park in the spring
construction projects.
After the "Call to Order and Approval of the Minutes and Agenda the first
item of business will be for the Commission to elect its officers for the
coming year. The Commission will need to select a chairperson, vice
chairperson and secretary.
The Commission has routinely organized standing committees. In 1984 the
standing committees were recreation, park names, finance, special issues and a
development committee which included all Commission members who were able to
attend the specially called meetings of this committee. The Finance Committee
was specifically established to work closely with staff in preparation of the
parks bond program. Commission may wish to consider the disillusion of this
ad hoc committee or have it continue in a different role associated with the
Parks Development (Financing) Program.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS:
There are five development proposals for Commission consideration. The first
development is a preliminary plat for Town Center 100 Addition by Federal Land
Company. Staff has included a separate memorandum with the planning report
concerning this item.
The second preliminary plat is for Town Center 70 by Federal Land Company.
This plat application is a commercial development of 70 acres. Staff would
recommend a cash dedication requirement consistent with the City's commercial
and industrial dedication requirements.
The third item is a request from Federal Land Company for the rezoning of 20
acres from agricultural to commercial. The 20 acre parcel is in the northwest
corner of the intersections of Cliff and Rahn Road. It is immediately
adjacent to Rahn Park. The City's Comp Guide Plan has designated this area as
multiple housing.
The Advisory Planning Commission, in its review of this application on January
27, deferred action for sixty days. The Advisory Commission requested
additional information from the Planning Department staff, as well as the
Parks Recreation Department, concerning this proposal. Information
requested from the Parks Recreation Department concerns impacts of multiple
housing developments on passive parks and that of commercial property adjacent
to parks. With this item being deferred for a period of sixty days, staff is
recommending that the Advisory Commission review the preliminary proposal and
identify additional issues or concerns that it may have. It would be
appropriate for staff to prepare just one report for the two Commissions which
address concerns of both the Planning Commission and Advisory Parks
Recreation Commission. Further, members may find it beneficial to visit the
site, either as a group or as individuals, to refamiliarize themselves with
this area of the park. Staff is suggesting that this item be deferred by the
Advisory Commission pending further review and staff report.
The fourth development proposal is a lot split by Mr. George Williams creating
an additional lot on Pilot Knob Road north of Lone Oak. Staff is recommending
a cash dedication for the additional lot being created.
The final application is for Hampton Heights as proposed by Frontier Midwest.
The fifty plus acres are located in Park Service Section 4416 and would create
195 single family lots and three outlots under a P.U.D. agreement. The
Advisory Planning Commission continued this item for thirty days because the
development proposed single family lots of 6,000 square feet. Staff is
recommending a cash dedication and trailway along Coachman Road.
OLD BUSINESS
The first item under "Old. Business" is a review of the updated material for
the Parks System Plan. These changes are based on the Advisory Commission's
members comments and developments within the community over the past two
years. It would be appropriate for the Commission to provide direction
regarding any additional changes that may be necessary and then for approval
and inclusion into the Systems Plan.
The second item under "Old Business" is relative to the acquisition of the
Murr property by Schwanz Lake Park. A one page memorandum has been prepared
updating members on this item.
The third item under "Old Business" is the Thomas Lake Heights plat by Mr.
Jack Safar. Members will recall that a preliminary plat was approved with a
reconfiguration of the park boundaries. The plat has not yet been approved
and redesign has been under consideration. Staff has been approached by Mr.
Safar once again for modifications to the previously approved park boundary
lines. At the time of writing of this memorandum, staff has not yet seen
these proposed changes. It is expected that these proposed changes will be
available by Thursday evening.
There are no items under "New Business" at this time.
PARKS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM:
The three parks programmed for spring construction contracts are in final plan
stages pending Commission review. Members have already been made aware of
some changes at Goat Hill Park (January 7 meeting) which were incorporated
into this final plan. There have only been minor revisions at Walnut Hill and
Schwanz Lake Park. However, staff will be seeking some direction from the
Commission relative to the "program" envisioned for Schwanz Lake Park. In
particular, this will involve the discussion of restroom locations to
facilitate both summer and winter activities. With approval of the plans by
the Commission, staff will prepare the final grading, utilities, etc., plans
and begin the final cost estimating. These cost estimates will be reviewed by
the Commission on February 21 in anticipation of approval to seek bids.
OTHER BUSINESS REPORTS:
There are seven items under "Other Business and Reports" for Commission
review. These are all brief informational or discussion items.
As always, should members of the Commission be unable to attend the meeting,
please contact the office.
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
0 2 ROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 1985
RE: BACKGROUND INFORMATION
EAGAN HTS COMMERCIAL PARK TOWN CENTER 100
The purpose of this memo is to provide information in chronological order of
events regarding the issue of parks dedication for the Eagan Heights
Commercial Park.
At the time the Eagan Heights Commercial Park P.U.D. request was being
processed, the Advisory Commission was in the initial stages of the
development of its Parks System Plan. Based on the City's Comprehensive Guide
Plan, the Advisory Commission indicated that a parkland dedication would not
be forthcoming from the P.U.D., rather a cash dedication was indicated.
However, the Commission was cautious and included with its recommendations
that "each phase of the proposed development be reviewed and subject to
potential park dedication that may be implemented or approved at some future
time." The purpose of this statement, as reflected in X July 14, 1982 memo,
was to assure that each phase of the P.U.D. agreement would be subject to
changes in park dedication requirements, and presumably changes that ensue in
the City's thought process regarding DeBoer Park.
Since the Council's authorization to enter into a P.U.D. agreement in 1982,
the City was able to obtain additional parkland from the Aspen Woods
development project. This additional property made feasible the expansion of
DeBoer Park from a passive open green space to neighborhood designation. At
time of the Parks Master Plan review, the Consultant Parks Planner also
recommended that the City seek an additional 2.8 to 3.0 acres of land within
the Eagan Heights Commercial Park. This recommendation is based on
desirability of obtaining additional park property to facilitate an access
road from Lexington Avenue as well as additional park amenities, i.e. tennis
court, trailway and play equipment. (Refer to DeBoer Neighborhood Park plan.)
The presumption upon which this additional acquisition was sought is based on
the assumption of a 10% land dedication on the residentially zoned property
for 1.6 acres and the commercial dedication of 7.5 No formal written
agreement had yet been concluded between the City and Eagan Heights Commercial
Park. Further, the minutes of the July 20, 1982 Council meeting in which the
Eagan Heights Commercial Park rezoning was granted, Mr. Martin Colon indicated
that "the property owner would dedicate land when each plat is submitted as
requested by the Park Committee according to City requirements.
With the impending platting of the Town Center 100 First Addition, the
developer is working with Paul Hauge, City Attorney, on the P.U.D. agreement.
At this time, the developer has not agreed to a land dedication as is now
being requested by the City. Federal Land appears to be taking the position
that the Commission had previously indicated a cash dedication and not land
that a change came after the Council approved to rezone P.D., and that they
have based their site planning on a cash dedication for the residential area.
The Director of Parks Recreation and the attorney for the developer have met
to review the park dedication requirements and potential ponding /trail credits
within the commercial /industrial area, with application of dedication towards
a land dedication. At this time, there has been no conclusion concerning
possible credits or a land dedication, although another meeting is set before
the Commission meeting on Thursday.
Preliminarily, and until staff has a chance to meet with the attorney, it
appears the City has one of several positions to take. First, if the
contention is that the aproval in July of 1982 and the P.U.D. zoning is just
that (an approval), then it would seem that any changes that have ensued since
the approval and the agreement should be included within the P.U.D.. In
effect, the Council approved the rezoning and did not approve the agreement.
The second position is that as each plat comes in, the City reviews it for
park dedication requirements, as previously recommended by the Advisory
Commissipon. In this manner, when the R4 residential comes in for platting,
the City could obtain its 10% land dedication of 1.6 acres. Unfortunately,
this acreage is less than what may be needed and may not allow for as
significant a park development as what had previously been envisioned. We are
currently conducting a "mini- study" to determine what could be done with
receiving only the 1.6 acres.
The third alternative is to redesign the park and perhaps eliminate the
parking lot and /or tennis courts. While this may reduce the overall
desirability of the park, the park could still function without one or both of
these elements. Staff has briefly reviewed the demographics of the park
service district. With the existing and projected development of approved
preliminary plats, there is a projected population of 2,659. There are two
sets of tennis courts and a third set proposed within the multiple dwelling
units. These will serve 1,430 residents, leaving a balance of 1,229 people.
There are four developments with tot lots serving 1,832 of the (projected)
population. The department will be installing another unit within the park
along Duckwood Drive.
In summation, the resolution of the park dedication requirements for the Town
Center 100 First Addition and P.U.D. is still unsettled. The City will need
to reevaluate its position regarding acquiring the additional three acres
needed to develop the park as depicted or to accept a lesser amount with a
future R4 development The final alternative would be to redesign a portion
of the park which would exclude the parking and /or tennis courts. A meeting
with representatives of Federal Land to discuss the dedication further is set
prior to the Commission meeting.
CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT; Preliminary Plat of Town Center 100 First Addition
Conditional Use Permit for 10 -Story Office Building
APPLICANT: Federal Land Company
LOCATION: SW Quadrant of Lexington Avenue Yankee Doodle Road
EXISTING.ZONING: Commercial Planned Development
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: January 22, 1985
DATE' 0'F REPORT: January 16, 1985
REPORTED ST: John S. floss, Planning Consultant
APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted for a Preliminary Plat
Town Center 100 'First Addition. This would provide for the platting of an approxi-
mate 95 acre area into two (2) lots for development with the remainder of the property
being platted into public streets and Outlots.
The second application was submitted for a Conditional Use Permit in order to develop
a 10 -story office building on one of th.e lots to be platted which would front upon
Yankee Doodle Road.
BACKGROUND: The base zoning of this approximate 95 acre area is in four categories.
In 1982, the City approved Commercial Planned Development zoning for this property
which was then titled "Eagan Heights Commercial Park A Land Use Development Plan,
preliminary grading and drainage plan, preliminary utility plan and an artist's
sketch of a potential high -rise building were submitted at that time as a part of
the Planned Development. It was also expected that a Planned Development Agreement
would be executed between the developer and the City, however, that has not been
completed and currently is being drafted. Attached is a copy of the City Council
Minutes from July 20, 1982 wherein several conditions were placed upon the provi-
sional Planned Development zoning of this property.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR HIGH -RISE OFFICE BUILDING: A 10 -story high -rise office
building is proposed on Lot 1, Block 1 of the Town Center 100 First Addition. This
building would be 106,268 square feet of total floor area and would be 126 feet in
height above the average ground elevation. The building also would be set back
240 feet from the nearest edge of the right -of -way of Yankee Doodle Road. The
building also would be in excess of 1,000 feet from any residential structure lo-
cated in -the Duckwood Addition to the south.
City of Eagan Town Center 100 First Addition January 16, 1985 Page 2
The Planning Department is preparing a cross section, from north to south, which
would.illustrate the elevation of the proposed high -rise building as it relates
to the surrounding area, including the Duckwood residences.
Also, the Police and Fire Departments are preparing a report related to this devel-
opment.
It appears that a 10 -story office building, rising 126 feet above grade at this loca-
tion, would not have a detrimental effect upon the surrounding land uses.
PRELIMINARY PLAT: The Preliminary Plat of the Town Center 100 First Addition
would provide for internal street development of approximately the 95 acre area
and the platting of two (2) lots for development. The remainder of the property
would be platted as Outlots which would require re- platting in the future. The
two lots proposed for development are Lot 1, Block 1, which is located along
Yankee Doodle Road wherein a 10 -story office building is proposed. The other
lot (Lot 1, Block 2) is proposed as an approximate seven- tenths (7/10) of an
acre site for a day -care center. This lot would have direct access to Lexing-
ton Avenue.
1. Day -care Center Lot: The day -care center lot is located in an area
which was to be developed with R -4 uses under the Planned Devel-
opment. This is consistent with the base R -4 zone and was a con-
dition of the Planned Development rezoning on January 20, 1982
wherein "Area 6" was to be developed for R -4 uses (See Condition
P 2 of Janaary 20, 1982 Minutes). In the R -4 District, a day -care
center is permitted by a Conditional Use Permit, therefore, if this
lot is established through the platting process, the applicant
would have to petition for a Conditional Use Permit at a future
date before a day -care center could be developed.
The Preliminary Development Plan presented in 1982 did not show
a day -care center at this location.
A day -care center may be an appropriate use in the R -4 District,
however, there are problems with this lot and the location selec-
ted. The day -care center should be a part of an overall plan for
a multiple dwelling complex. Also, the day -care center should not
take direct access to Lexington Avenue but should be accessed off
an internal street. The City has attempted to restrict direct
access onto Lexington Avenue. The creation of a small, isolated
lot, with direct access, would violate that principle.
2. High -Ri.se Office Building Lot: The lot proposed for the 10 -story
office building is generally consistent with the overall develop-
ment plan submitted with the Planned Development rezoning in 1982.
The only matter that needs to be resolved, in addition to the Con-
ditional Use Permit, is the proposed access to Yankee Doodle Road.
There is approximately 1500 feet between intersecting streets and
-2-
City of Eagan Town Square 100 First Addition January 16, 1985 Page 3
this access would exist 900 feet from west intersection and 600 feet
from the east intersection.
The July 20, 1982 Minutes state as a condition an analysis of
the traffic generation information should be obtained from the Dakota
County Highway Department prior to rezoning This access question
needs to be discussed in that regard.
SUMMARY If this Preliminary Plat of the Town Center 100 First Addition is approved
it should be subject to the following conditions;
1. The day -care center should be served by an internal street and not
exist as an isolated lot with direct access to Lexington Avenue.
2. Access to Yankee Doodle Road from Lot 1, Block 1 shall be approved
by the City Engineering Department and Dakota County prior to approval
of this plat.
3. A Planned Development Agreement shall be executed between the developer
and the City in order to finalize the Planned Development zoning before
this Preliminary Plat is approved.
4. The park dedication requirements shall be met prior to approval of the
Preliminary Plat.
5. A determination shall be made by the City Council about the requirement
for sidewalks along internal streets as a part of the approval of the
Preliminary Plat.
6. The conditions from the July 20, 1982 Planned Development zoning by the
City shall be met prior to the approval of the Preliminary Plat.
7. Street names shall be provided for the internal streets and approved by
the City Council as a part of the approval of the Preliminary Plat.

MEMORANDUM
TO: The City of Eagan Planning Advisory Commission
FROM: John S. Voss, Planning.Consultant
DATE: January 15, 1985
SUBJECT: Parking Requirements Study
BACKGROUND: This report was prepared in response to a Variance request made
by Federal Land Company related to parking requirements for a 10 -story office
building to be located on Lot 1, Block 1 of Town Center 100 First Addition.
CITY PARKING REQUIRE The City's Zoning Ordinance (Section 11.10, Sub-
division 13 requires a minimum of one (1) parking space for each 150 square
feet of leaseable floor area for a General Office building.
The City also has been requiring a parking stall of a minimu m 10 feet wide
and 20 feet long except that 9 -foot wide stalls have been permitted in certain
instances for employee parking.
F EDERAL LAND PROPOSAL: Federal Land Company is proposing nine -foot by 18 -foot
parking stalls. They also propose to provide 4.5 parking spaces for each 1,000
square feet of gross floor area for a 10 -story office building.
CITY OF BLOOMINGTON: The City of Bloomington has had considerable experience
with parking requirements for mid -rise and high -rise general office buildings.
It is expected that Eagan will be experiencing similar development and the City
of Bloomington provides an excellent source for determining adequate requirements.
Their comments were as follows;
1. Size of Parking Stall: For retail shopping areas /shopping centers, where
there is a h.igh rate of turnover and where people may be carrying pack-
ages, parking stalls should be a minimum 10.feet wide. For offices with
a lower rate of turnover,with the possible exception of banks or medical
clinics, the width could be reduced to nine feet.
PLANNING LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE SITE DESIGN
Memorandum to the Eagan Advisory Planning Commission Page 2
Re: Parking Requirements Study
January 15, 1984
The length of the stall is less important than the total distance
including the parking stall and driveways. In areas where the
parking driveway functions as a major driveway within the devel-
opment, the minimum distance between back -to -back stalls should
be 65 feet. In normal parking lot areas, this could be reduced
to 62 feet. In areas where the dri.veway is "single- loaded" there
should be a minimum of 45 feet. All of the above relate to 90
angle parking.
2. Number of Parking Spaces Required: For office buildings in excess
of 75,000 square feet of net leaseable area, Bloomington requires a
minimum of one Cl) parking stall for each 200 square feet of net
leaseable office space. Net leaseable office space is determined
by taking 80% of the gross area of the building. This would be a
ratio of five (5) parking stalls per one thousand square feet of
net leaseable area.
In addition, if the office building contains a restaurant, drive -in
bank, medical clinic or similar special uses, then special require-
ments related to those uses would apply.
Bloomington also has found that in office buildings over 75,000
square feet, there are few problems posed by individual tenants
in that the building is large enough to absorb any special park-
ing requirements brought forth by a high number of tenants for
an individual business.
SUMMARY: Based upon the above, Federal Land Company would be expected to provide
the following;
1. Double- loaded parking stalls shall be a minimum of 62 feet in depth
including the driveway area.
2. Single loaded parking stalls shall be a minimum of 45 feet in depth
including the driveway area.
3. The 10 -story office building, with a gross of 106,268 thousand square
feet and an estimated net leaseable area of x 80 85,014 square
feet, shall provide a minimum five (5) parking stalls per thousand
square feet or a minimum of 425 parking stalls.
It is further recommended that Eagan consider revising the Zoning Ordinance
as it pertains to parking stalls to be more consistent with the above as
it pertains to mid or h.i-gh. -rise buildings.

EAGAK HEIGHTS COHtMCIAL PARK REZONING
The application of Federal Land Company for rezoning from R -4, LB, and
CSC to Planned Development for Eagan Heights Commercial Park at the southwest
corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington Avenue was then brought before the
Council. Mr. Hedges introduced the application and noted the Advisory
Planning Commission recommended approval at its June 22 meeting subject to
numerous conditions. He reviewed the questions raised by the City Council at
its July 6 meeting and additional written reports were submitted in the packet
to the Council. No further information was found accompanying the 1968 appli-
cation by Gerard Minea to rezone the property nor was there any official
action concerning an alleged proposal for a 10 -acre ballfield site on the
property for park purposes. The Park Committee recommended a connecting trail
link from the Eagan Heights Addition north of Duckwood and also recommended a
cash dedication for additional park purposes.
Colbert stated that the first phase of the project could be handled by an
internal storm sewer system with the second phase ,to require ponding use on
the north side of Yankee Doodle Road.
Carl Dale, Martin Colon and others were present for the applicant. Mr.
Dale indicated that there would be a meandering trail along the south line of
the property; that the developer agrees to link the internal trail system to
the City trails, and that all Park Committee recommendations are agreed upon
by the developer. There would be no greater than 20% lot coverage; the open
space would be subject to City approval as the- development progresses; that
the-sliver of land that had been questioned would remain Limited Business and
not be expanded to CSC; the developer agreed that Area 6 would remain R -4 use
and there would be no change and that the overall density would comply with
City Ordinance requirements. It was proposed that there would be a 7 to 10
year development period, the City would review all uses and site plans, and
that a 650 foot buffer north of the existing R -1 area be included in the
Planned Development to exclude specified uses. The developer also recognized
the need for a conditional use permit for any building over three stories.
Mr. Dale stated that the R -4 area will be reduced by about 17 acres to a total
of about 16 acres.
A number of neighboring property owners were present, and had comments
concerning the height of the building and had objections to motel use. Steve
Klein was concerned about the need for active park land and also for the storm
drainage system from the parcel. It was noted the internal pond could be
increased in size to add additional runoff. Mike Wold was concerned about the
630 -foot buffer and the types of units permitted with Mr. Dale noting that
only office and retail would be allowed but only office is being proposed.
John Klein stated that his understanding was that the-Park Committee had
required a trail through the area and also active park land- It was noted the
Park Committee is now recommending active park land to the south. Martin
Colon indicated that the.-property owner would dedicate land when each plat
submitted as requested by the Park Committee according to City requirements.
After extended discussion,. Smith moved, Thomas seconded the motion to approve
the application subject to the following:

ST. PAUL PION HER PRESS VENDING MACHINES
Mr. Hedges introduced the subject regarding the application of St. Paul
Pioneer Press /Dispatch for a special permit for location of newspaper vending
machines in the City. It was that the City Council discussed the matter-
on June 15 when newspaper representatives were present and action had been
taken regarding permit fees and recommendations that the newspaper submit an
application for special permit approval. The Council again reviewed the issue
on July 6 and. it was noted that of eleven locations determined by the City
staff' to be unsafe and hazardous locations, that all vending machines had
either been removed or moved to other locations. Newspaper representatives
were present including James Delano and the attorney for the newspaper,
Michaela Maenner. An application has been submitted for special permit
approval but the representatives objected to the $500 .maximum fee for all
machines located within the City and recommended a $50 permit fee be the
maximum fee for all vending machines. It was further noted that written and
telephone objections have been received by the staff and City Councilmembers
concerning the location of the machines including their hazardous and unsafe
locations and the unsightliness of the vending machine boxes.. It was noted
the staff had been on the site of the vending machines at least two times and
that considerable time had been spent by the staff' in policing the locations_
It was anticipated that there would be regular inspections required including
processing of applications in the future, thus the reason for the maximum $500
fee with the understanding that each additional vending machine would require
an additional $50 permit fee. In effect, with 50 boxes each would be $10 per-
year or approximately $.03 per vending machine per day. Egan then moved,
Thomas seconded the motion to approve the application for special permit
conditioned upon the compliance with the City ordinance including the submis-
sion of the fee- determined by the City Council for vending machine purposes
based upon the reasons cited above. All voted yea.

ENGINEERING REPORT TOWN CENTRE 100
January 22, 1985
GRADING /DRAINAGE: This proposed development is located within major drainage
district "D as shown on Figure #1. The existing topography within this
area consists generally of rolling farmland characterized by small knolls
with slopes of less than 15% and several poorly drained depressions.
One such low area is located near the SW corner of this proposed development.
Another is designated on the Preliminary Plat located over the SW corner
of Block 1, the NW corner of Outlot E and the easterly portion of Outlot F.
The last depression is located in approx. the center of Outlot C and abuts
Yankee Doodle Rd.
The first two low areas described above are proposed to be utilized for storm
water detention ponds, while the last described low area will be filled in
with future development. The low area located near the SW corner of this
proposed development will be enlarged to provide for 8 9 acre feet of storm
water storage. This newly created ponding area is to be incorporated with the
City's master drainage plan as Pond DP -23. The outlet for this pond will
connect to the necessary storm sewer line to be constructed within Denmark
Av. and outlet into Pond DP -4, located on the Robert O'Neill property, north
of Yankee Doodle Rd. The second wetland referred to above, will also be utilized
as a storage pond for storm water runoff. The overflow to this pond is proposed
to be into O'Leary Lake, Pond DP -8. This difers from the master drainage
plan which indicates the storm water runoff to be in a northerly and easterly
direction, eventually outletting into Pond DP -5. This pond is also located
on property owned by Robert O'Neill. Although storm water will eventually
end up in Pond DP -5, in either event, at this time no connection is in place
between Pond DP -10 and DP -5, leaving DP -10 within a positive outlet control.
This would make the area surrounding DP -10 susceptible to flooding. Although
this probably won't be a problem until more of this development is completed,
.it still could place the City in a position of having to construct yet another
storm water outlet after it is needed.
Of the above referenced alternatives to the storm water runoff situation,
Staff recommends that the master drainage plan be followed and that the ponding
easement for Pond DP -5 be obtained as a condition of this development. Staff
feels this is the best solution in the long run for the City.
UTILITIES: Figure #2 illustrated the location of the existing utilities in
the vicinity of this proposed development. A trunk watermain exists along
the north boundary of this proposed development as a 20" main along the westerly
660' with the remaining watermain being 18" in diameter. Also, a 12" sanitary
sewer is located approx. along the north -south 1/8 line upto Yankee Doodle
Rd. where it then runs to the east. A. trunk watermain of 18" in diameter
is in place along the easterly border of this proposed development. Both
utilities are of sufficient size, capacity and depth to provide service to
this entire development.
A petition has been submitted by this development for the installation of
public utilities and streets under Project #429.
TOWN CENTRE 100
ENGINEERING REPORT
_JANUARY 22, 1985
PAGE 2.
STREETS: Yankee Doodle Rd. borders this proposed development to the north
and Lexington Av. borders this development on the east. Both roads are two
lane rural roadway sections and under the jurisdiction of the Dakota County
Highway Dept.
The Dakota County Hwy. Dept. plans for the ultimate design of Yankee Doodle
Rd., between Lexington Av. and I -35E, are for a 4 lane, divided highway.
Subsequently, the County criteria for such a roadway includes 1/4 mile spacing
between access points with no direct access being allowed. Since this propos—
ed development will be generating a great deal of traffic, in addition to
the Town Centre 70 development and. the mixed residential uses for the area
north of Yankee Doodle Rd., it is felt that Yankee Doodle Rd. could anticipate
a traffic volume of over 20,000 cars per day within the next 5 years. Staff
does not recommend access to the proposed Lot 1 to be from Yankee Doodle Rd.
Rather, it should be connected to the internal loop street.
Lexington Av. will probably be upgraded to a 52' wide undivided roadway as
its ultimate design.
The internal streets shall be a minimum of 40' in width and built to 9 ton
loading capacity. This will provide for 2 full lanes of traffic and 1 left —hand
turn lane.
Finally, in order to comply with City Standards for collector streets and
arterial streets, an 8' trailway will be required to be constructed along
the east, north and west boundaries of this development.
RIGHT —OF— WAY /EASEMENTS: A 75' half right —of —way will be required to be dedicated
for Yankee Doodle Rd. A 55' half right —of —way will be required to be dedicated
for Lexington Av. and a 40' right —of —way will be required to be dedicated
for Denmark Av. Internal right —of —ways shall be minimum of 70' in width,
..with additional right —of —way dedicated for turning lanes at major intersections.
A ponding easement to incorporate the high water level of 897.6 and 8 acre
feet will be required for Pond DP -23. In addition, a ponding easement will
be required for the storage pond located within Outlot F. A 20' easement
shall be dedicated centered over the existing sanitary sewer line. Finally,
a minimum 20' utility easement will be required to be dedicated over all public
utilities not located within public right —of —way.
ASSESSMENTS: A check on special assessments indicated all special assessments
have been levied over the existing parcels comprising this development. All
costsassociated with internal utility improvements which are non —trunk related
will be the sole responsibility of this development. These costs will be
outlined in the feasibility report for Project /#429.
y
ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS

way dedicated for Yankee Doodle Rd., and a 55' half right -of -way dedicated
for Lexington Av.
7. A 20' utility easement shall be dedicated over the existing sanitary sewer.
8. A ponding easement for Pond DP -4 must be obtained.
9. The westerly half 40' right -of -way for Denmark Av. must be obtained.

SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat of Town Center 70
APPLICANT: Federal Land Company
LOCATION: SE Quadrant of Pilot Knob Road Yankee Doodle Road
EXISTING ZONING: Community Shopping Center District (CSC)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: January 22, 1985
DATE Of REPORT: January 15, 1985
REPORTED Br: John S. Voss, Planning Consultant
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted for a Preliminary Plat
Town Center 70. The property is bounded by Pilet Knob Road and I -35E on the west,
Yankee Doodle Road on the north, Denmark Avenue on the east and Duckwood Drive on
the south. It is proposed that the 70.6 acre site be divided into three (3) lots.
Two of these lots along the west and north periphery of the property would be
Outlots.
BACKGROUND: Eighteen (18) acres of this site was rezoned by the City in Decem-
ber of 1984. This was added to the area that was previously zoned CSC, making
a combined area o 70.6 acres which now is proposed for platting.
PLANNER'S COMMENTS:
1. Outlots: Outlots are proposed where peripheral commercial development
is expected to occur in the future. The outlot status would mean that
these lots would be re- platted in the future before individual lots for
peripheral commercial development would be created. This would appear
to be an acceptable approach in that specific uses have not been identi-
fied for these peripheral commercial lots.
2. Street System: The street system being platted as a part of this proposal
appears to be consistent with previous planning. Duckwood Drive is at a
location previously considered by the City under a prior proposal by Pilot
Knob Associates. The alignment of Denmark Avenue has been established for
several years and a 40 foot wide half- right -of -way is being dedicated.
Also, a new which would provide public street access to the
peripheral commercial lots, is proposed between Duckwood Drive and Denmark
Avenue. All of these streets appear to be well- designed and consistent
with the requirement of the City with.only two exceptions, as related below.
City of Eagan Federal Land Company January 15, 1985 Page 2
First, additional right -of -way will have to be obtained from the Minnesota
Department of Transportation if the loop street is to be developed as pro-
posed. Secondly, that portion of Denmark Avenue (40 foot half- right -of -way),
which would normally be dedicated by the property to the east, needs to be
obtained by the City so that Denmark Avenue can be developed with the ini-
tial development of a shopping center in this area. An additional 40 feet
is also needed for Duckwood Drive to the south.
3. Park Dedication: The means of satisfying the park dedication requirement
for this property will need to be determined by the City Council after
a review and recommendation by the Eagan Park Commission.
4. Overall Shopping Center Plan: Section 11.20, Subdivision 12 of the City's
Zoning Ordinance related to the CSC District provides that for a retail
shopping center....." an overall plan shall be submitted and approved by
the City including architecture, parking, driveways, landscaping and
screening before construction is commenced
At this time, only a general concept plan has been prepared. The exact
location and configuration of the shopping center has not been determined.
Therefore, it is recommended that the developer be permitted to proceed with
the Preliminary Plat at this time subject to a requirement that the detailed
plans for the shopping center be brought back to the Planning Commission and
City Council for approval consistent with the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance prior to construction of the shopping center.
5. Lot and Block Plan: The shopping center area should be given a Lot and Block
designation on the Preliminary Plat for the Town Center 70 First Addition.
SUMMARY: If the Preliminary Plat for Town Center 70 First Addition is approved,
it sou Td be subject to the following conditions;
1. Additional dedication for a minimum 60 foot right -of -way shall be obtained for
the "loop" street from MnDot or in the alternative, the "loop" street shall be
relocated so that a. minimum 60 foot right -of -way is platted.
2. The City shall be guaranteed that a minimum 80 foot wide right -of -way is dedi-
cated for Denmark Ave. from Duckwood Drive to Yankee Doodle Road prior to the
approval of the Final Plat for Town Center 70 First Addition.
3. Approval of the Plat shall be subject to the approval of the Dakota County
Plat Committee.
4. O.utlots "A" and "B." shall be subject to re- platting prior to development.
5. Park_dedi'cation requirements shall be satisfied as determined by the City
Council prior to the filing of th.e final Plat.

7. An overall plan for the retail shopping center shall be reviewed by the
Planning Commission and approved by the City Council in accordance with
Section 11.20, Subdivision 12 of the Zoning Ordinance prior to the
commencement of any construction on the property other than grading for
peripheral streets or utilities.
8. A pedestrian circulation plan shall be approved by the City Council prior

TOWN CENTER 70 ENGINEERING REPORT
UTILITIES Utilities of sufficient size, capactiy and depth exist within
the proximity of this proposed development to provide service to it as depicted
by Figure #2. Again, the main issue in providing public utilities to this
development, is the obtaining of the ponding easement for pond DP -4.
This proposed development has petitioned the City to provide public street
and utilities improvements under City project #429. At this time, a feasibility
study was authorized, by Council, and is currently being prepared. Final
plat approval should be contingent upon authorizing the installation of the
project.
STREETS: This proposed development is bordered by Pilot Knob Rd. on the west,
I -35E along the northwesterly boundary and Yankee Doodle Rd. along the northerly
boundary. In addition, Duckwood Dr. stubs into this property 300' from Pilot
Knob Rd. Pilot Knob Yankee Doodle Rds. are county roads under the jurisdiction
of the Dakota County Highway Dept., interstate I -35E is under the jurisdiction
of the Mn. Dept. of Trans. and Duckwood Dr. is a City street.
The proposed street extensions include constructing Duckwood Dr. to the east
to intersect with existing Denmark Av. and Duckwood Dr. intersection at
the SE corner of this proposed development. Also, Denmark Av. is proposed
to extend north from this intersection to intersect with Yankee Doodle Rd.
Both streets are planned to be 52' wide to provide 4 traffic lanes. The
internal public street proposed to loop between between Duckwood Dr. Denmark
Av. should be a minimum of 40' wide between the curbs. This will provide
for 2 traffic lanes and 1 turning lane. All streets will be constructed to
a 9 ton load capacity.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: A minimum 40' half right -of -way shall be dedicated
for Denmark Av. Duckwood Dr. A minimum of a 70 -of -way will be required
for the interior public street.
In addition, all right -of -way necessary for public street construction must
be obtained prior to final plat approval. For instance, the encroachment
of right -of -way for the looped internal street onto MnDot right -of -way will
have to be resolved and also easements for the S� right -of -way of Duckwood
Dr. and the east half right -of -way for Denmark Av. must be obtained prior
to final plat.
Easements shall be dedicated over all public utilities not located within
public right -of -way as determined by Staff. The ponding easement for pond
DP -4, will have to be obtained prior to final plat approval along with all roadway
easements and the possibility of a storm sewer easement through Mr. Applebaum's
property.
Ponding easements for the 8.1 acre -feet of storage pond shall be dedicated
with the final plat encompassing the 880 H.W.L. elevation.
ASSESSMENTS: A special assessment review reveals trunk area storm sewer has
not been assessed to this proposed development. This is estimated to amount
to $184,240. This amount is based on 62.2 net acres at the commercial storm
sewer assessment rate of 6.8a per sq. ft. The final trunk area amount will
be based upon the final areas on the final plat and the rates in effect at
the time of final platting. This amount will be due at the time of final
platting unless it is included with the assessments regarding project #429.
TOWN CENTER 70 ENG. REPORT
PAGE 2.
GRADING /DRAINAGE The southwesterly portion of this proposed development
was graded under a Grading Permit in 1981. The remaining portion of this
site consists of rolling terrain. The major vegetation consists of grasses.
Approximately 35% of the easterly portion of this proposed development lies
within existing major drainage district D, while the remaining 65% lies within
the existing major drainage district J, as depicted on Figure #1. The future
grading proposes to alter the dividing line between these two districts.
The proposed division line would be in a easterly westerly direction and approx.
bi —sect this proposed development. The new areas for major drainage district
D would represent approx. a 31% increase while major drainage district J would
decrease by 16 A positive gravity outlet is in place via Fish Lake and
Blackhawk Lake to the Minnesota River to accomodate runoff areas within the
major district J that this development comprises. All that is required is
a connection of the small ponding area in "the NW corner of Duckwood Dr.
Denmark Av. to the trunk line located within Denmark Av. This line eventually
discharges into Fish Lake.
Even though the area within major. drainage district J is decreased by approx.
16 the amount of runoff proposed to drain into the small holding pond located
in the NW corner of Denmark Av. and Duckwood Dr. appears to be excessive.
Staff would recommend that as much of the existing southerly area of major
drainage district D remain in that district. This can be accomplished by
collecting the runoff into the southerly extension of a storm sewer which
will be constructed in Denmark Av. These localized changes to the major drainage
districts will not be a problem when considered against the entire-area en—
compassed by the major drainage districts. A detailed review of the grading and
drainage over this development will be performed on submission of final grading
drainage plan submitted with final plat for approval.
Storm sewer for the area of this development within major drainage district
D, will have to be constructed. Ponding easements will have to be obtained
for pond DP -4, located north of Yankee Doodle Rd. on the Robert O'Neil property.
The procuring of these easements is essential to this proposed development
since pond DP -4 is the designated ponding area on the City's storm sewer master
plan to receive runoff from this portion of major drainage district D.
It may also be necessary to construct storm sewer from the Duckwood Dr. and
proposed public street intersection southerly through Mr. Applebaum's property
then easterly" to the storm sewer located within Denmark Av. However, this
will be determined during the detailed design of utilities for this project.
If it appears necessary to follow the alignment through Mr. Applebaum's property,
these easements will also have to be acquired as a condition of the final
platting process.
The City's Master Storm Sewer Plan requires 8.1 acre —feet of storm water storage
near the NW corner of the Denmark Av. Duckwood Dr. intersection. This will
require approximately one acre in surface area. Any ponding area that cannot
be dedicated or developed within this development must be provided for by
Mr. Applebaum on the parcel to the south of this development.
ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
TOWN CENTRE 70
1. Grading shall be accomplished so as to minimize the amount of storm sewer
water runnoff to ponding area in NW corner of Duckwood Denmark.
2. 8.1 acre feet storm water storage shall be required in the vicinity of
the Denmark Duckwood street intersection.
3. Denmark Av. Duckwood Dr. shall be 52' wide remaining public street
being 40' wide.
4. A 40' public half right -of -way shall be dedicated for both Denmark Duckwood

MnDot I -35E R.O.W.
d) Ponding utility easement encompassing 880 elevation for 8.1 acre ft.
storm water runoff volume,and if necessary
e) Utility easement over Mr. Applebaum's property south of the proposed
Duckwood Dr.
6. Final plat approval cannot occur until the City obtains necessary ponding
utility easements for Pond DP -4.
7. This development shall be responsible for the trunk area storm sewer assess-
ments at the rates in effect at the time of final platting.
8. An 8' trailway shall be installed along the north side of Duckwood Dr.

DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 14, 1985
REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
PROPOSAL SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to rezone 20.6 acres from A
(agricultural) to a Commercial Planned Development designation and concept
approval for service and retail /commercial uses and two office buildings.
The proposed development abuts Rahn Park on the north and Cedar Cliff Commercial
and residential on the west.
ZONING LAND USE: The parcel is presently zoned A (agricultural) and would
require a rezoning to allow any upgraded use of the parcel. The Comprehensive
Guide Plan designates this parcel as R —III (mixed residential), with a density
of 6 12 dwelling units per acre. The application is a request to rezone
this parcel to a Planned Development for commercial uses versus the multiple
residential which is indicated on the Comp. Plan. This rezoning would require
a Comp. Plan amendment if the City elects to change the use on this parcel
as proposed.
CODE COMPLIANCE: Presently the application submitted is only a request to
rezone from an agricultural use to a Planned Development. The first phase
of the Planned Development is to set up uses and general circulation as to
how access would be obtained to this parcel. If the commercial use is approved,
then the applicant -would be subject to more detailed plans for. Preliminary
Plat approval of each phase as this parcel develops. Therefore, Staff has
not done any detail review for building coverage, setbacks, etc. in the concept
planning except to generally comment on the access for circulation to' this
parcel. The applicant is proposing one public access from Rahn Rd. and one
full movement access from Cliff Rd., providing an "L" shape movement. The
applicants are also proposing interior private movements within this area,
also allowing secondary accesses onto Rahn Rd. Cliff Rd. In review of this
plan, the road circulation is secondary, and the main issue with this application
is the concept of use regarding commercial or residential. If the commercial
use is approved, Staff will work with the applicant to determine proper road
circulation within this development plan.
SITE PLANNING As stated earlier, the applicants have proposed just a sketch
plan to determine uses on this 20.6 acre parcel. The uses range from retail,
commercial, retail service and office facilities following the neighborhood
business uses. If the concept, or uses, seem to be appropriate, Staff will
work with the applicant on the detail planning and road circulation of the
plan.
REZONING CLIFF SQUARE PD FEDERAL LAND
APC REPORT
JANUARY 22, 1985
PAGE 2.
In review of the overall use of this parcel, there appear to be two arguments
that can be used to determine the appropriate use of this parcel. Looking
at the overall land uses between Cedar Av. and I -35E, both north and south
of Cliff Rd., this is the only parcel that has a residential designation proposed
between the two arterial roadways. Therefore the argument that because of
the traffic and location, all of the properties on this corridor should be
zoned commercial versus any residential.
An argument for a residential classification is that this parcel is abutting
Rahn Park to the north and is located midway between I -35E Cedar Av. making
accessibility a key factor to this site. With the amenities of the park and
access, to both 35E Cedar Av., the multiple use is appropriate for this
site. The Commission will have to determine with this application, if they're
going to stay with the land use R -3 (multiple residential) or allow a commercial
use on the parcel. If the APC makes the re-commendation that commercial is
appropriate, it should be subject to the following conditions:
CONDITIONS
1. A Planned Development Agreement be entered in to.
2. The applicant work with Staff to determine an appropriate road access
and circulation for this planned development.
3. A 5 year term be placed on this planned development.
4. All of the standards conditions shall apply to each of the phases of this
planned development.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT WILLIAMS DIVISION
APPLICANT: GEORGE WILLIAMS
LOCATION: LOT 3, ZEHNDER ACRES, SECTION 4
EXISTING ZONING: SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (R -1)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 24, 1985
DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 16, 1985
REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING. DEPARTMENTS
PROPOSAL SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Plat approval of
the Williams Division consisting of 2 single family lots on approx. 1 acre.
The proposal is located NW of the intersection of Lone Oak Rd. Pilot Knob
Rd.
ZONING LAND USE: The parcel is zoned (R -1) residential single family and
would allow up to 3 units per acre. The applicant has an existing home on
proposed lot 1. There are 2 curb cuts on Pilot Knob Rd. for this parcel.
Single family homes surround the site.
CODE COMPLIANCE: The Preliminary Plat meets all the requirements of an R -1
district except for the lot width on lot 2. Lot 2 is proposed to be 75' wide
while standard single family lots are 85' in width. Lot 1 would be 23,750
S.F. and Lot 2 would be 14,250 S.F. The applicant is requesting a 10' variance
for Lot 2 in order to keep some existing vegetation on Lot 1 with the existing
home.
GRADING DRAINAGE: This proposed development presently exists as Lot 3,
Block 1 of Zehnder Acres. Drainage over this area is overland to the west.
It is not anticipated that the addition of 1 single family lot will cause
any problems with storm water runoff. Lot grading will be reviewed at the
time of a building permit application by the Building Dept. and /or the Engineer
ing Dept.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water services to this lot and the proposed
future lot, are in place. A water and sewer service were installed under the
Pilot Knob Rd. upgrading project.
STREETS: Pilot Knob Rd. borders this proposed development along the east.
Pilot Knob Rd. is a county road under the jurisdiction of Dakota County Hwy.
Dept. Presently, there exists a curb cut to the proposed lot. Since Pilot
Knob Rd. is considered to be a minor arterial roadway, a driveway turn around
must be provided for the newly created lot. With the traffic volumes on Pilot
Knob, it would not be appropriate for vehicles to back onto it.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: A 50' half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Pilot
Knob Rd.
PRELIMINARY PLAT, WILLIAMS DIVISION
JANUARY 24, 1985
PAGE 2.
ASSESSMENTS: Researching the special assessment records, Lot 3 of Zehnder
Acres, revealed trunk area storm sewer and lateral benefit from trunk watermain
have never been assessed and therefore will be the responsibility of this
proposed development. Since this development is creating a new lot, it will
be responsible for a per lot assessment for trunk area water and trunk area
sanitary sewer. The following table summarizes the estimated assessments
due at the time of final platting.
Estimated Assessment Summary Table
1985
Description Quantity Rate Amount
Trunk Area Water 1 lot $570 /lot 570
Trunk Area Sanitary Sewer 1 lot $570 /lot 570
Trunk Area Storm Sewer 38,000 S.F. $0.048 /S.F. $1,824
Lateral Benefit from Trunk Watermain 200 F.F. $11.875/F.F.
$2,375
TOTAL $5,339
The final amounts due for special assessments will be determined at the rates
in effect at the time of final platting and using the final area as determined
by the final plat. These assessments may be paid at the time of final plat approval
or levied against the property utilizing a waiver of hearing.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A 50' half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Pilot Knob Rd.
2. This development shall be responsible for all the special assessments
referenced in the report at the rates in effect at the time of final platting.
3. A 10' Variance from the 85' minimum lot width be allowed for Lot 2.
4. All standard Preliminary Plat conditions shall apply.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: REZONING PRELIMINARY PLAT HAMPTON HEIGHTS
APPLICANT: FRONTIER MIDWEST, MARSHALL OAKES
LOCATION: PART OF THE EAST OF THE NORHTWEST_k, SECTION 16
EXISTING ZONING: A AGRICULTURAL
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 24, 1985
DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 17, 1985
REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING DEPTS.
PROPOSAL SUMMARY: Two applications have been submitted. The first is a request
to rezone approx. 52 acres, from A (agricultural) to Planned Development,
which would consist of approx. 3.5 acres of limited business, approx. 5 acres
of ponding and 43.5 acres for small lot single family homes. The second appli—
cation is a request for Preliminary Plat approval consisting of the 52 acres
and would contain 3 outlots and 195 small, single family lots.
ZONING LAND USE: Presently the parcel is zoned A (agricultural) and would
require a zoning change in order to develop this property. The Comprehensive
Guide Plan designates this parcel as R —II which would allow a mixed residential
with a density of 3 6 dwelling units per acre. The Hampton Heights Preliminary
Plat consists of 195 small, single family lots and would have a gross density
of approx. 4.4 units per acre and a net density of 5.7 dwelling units per
acre. Therefore, this is just within the guidelines set forth in the .R= I:I_:land
use designation.
CODE COMPLIANCE: In review of the City Code, the purpose and intent of the
P.D. district is "this is supplementary to all other zoning districts contained
in this chapter, the purpose of which is to encourage, under appropriate circum—
stances, a more creative, varied and efficient use of land in the City. Where
such supplementary zoning is approved, it shall be deemed supplementary and
superimposed over the basic zoning of the property under consideration. Where
a conflict may arise between these requirements of the supplementary and basic
zoning, those requirements related to the supplementary zoning shall prevail.
DETERMINATION: In considering any petition for such district, the Planning
Commission and City Council in the interest of carrying out the intent and
purpose of the subdivision, shall determine whether or not such Planned Develop—
ment will:
1. better adapt itself to the physical and aesthetic setting and that of
surrounding lands than does development of the underlying zoning district;
2. be feasible for the owner and developer economically to complete accord—
ing to the proposed plans;
3. benefit the community at large to a greater degree than would development
of the underlying zoning district."

_PAGE 2.
In review of the present site conditions, the topography of the site is quite
rugged and it is the City's understanding that a substantial amount of grading
will have to be done in order to accomodate the development plan submitted.
The existing topograhy will drastically change to conform to the development
proposed.
In this development proposal, the applicant is proposing to create 60 x 100'
lots sizes for a total lot size of 6,000 sq. ft. per sq. ft. lot. The smallest
lot size previously approved in a P.D. has been 60 x 125' or 7,500 sq. ft.
for a minimum lot size requirement. In this plan, the applicant is proposing
50' right -of -ways, 20' front setbacks and to have a total development package
controlled by the developer in the creation of the lots and also construction
of homes on the lots. Therefore, the package will be a turn -key operation
where the owner will pick the lot and home, which will be constructed by this
developer. Enclosed with the P.D. are the different styles of homes which
will be built in this development and will fit on the lots with the same setbacks
that the City requires in the normal R -1 zoning district
The applicant has maximized the use of this parcel in the design and layout
configuration that has been proposed. There is no public open space or common
areas that will be shared or dedicated to the City for open space. The design
has lent itself to maximizing the property in order to obtain the maximum
amount of single family lots. In reveiw of the grading plan and topography
the applicant is making the topography of this site to conform with this develop-
ment versus arranging the development to conform with the topography.
GRADING /DRAINAGE: The topography over this site is quite rugged, consisting
of hills and depressions. The hills are relatively steep and approach slopes
up to 45 This proposed development exists within major drainage district
C J as depicted by Figure #1: An overwhelming majority (80 of this watershed
is located within major drainage district C, while the remaining 20% is a
portion of major drainage district J. The recipient of runoff from the C
district is pond CP -1. Meanwhile, the recipient of the runoff from the portion
located within the J district is pond JP -1. Pond CP -1 has a positive outlet
to pond CP -2 which in turn has a positive outlet to pond JP -1. Pond JP -1
is presently a deadend pond with no positive outlet to control the storm water
elevation.
Due to the ruggedness of this site, approx. 275,000 cu. yds. is proposed to
be moved throughout this site to provide for this development. According
to the proposed grading plan, there are cuts of over 20' on some of the hills
with some of the depressions being filled up to a height of 15'. The proposed
grading plan provides for essentially the same boundary lines between the
C J drainage districts, subsequently maintaining the same general drainage
pattern that currently exists. Since JP -1 does not have a positive control
outlet, it would be appropriate to have this outlet installed with this develop-
ment. Erosion control measures must be implemented along the east and south
boundaries of this proposed development. Also, Staff recommends that as much
runoff as possible should be directed into pond CP -1 to take advantage of
the detention ponding rather than connecting directly to the north /south trunk
storm sewer line located along the westerly boundary. Finally, this development
will have to provide an outlet for a low area located within the SW corner of
the Royal Oaks Development, immediately east of this development.

UTILITIES: Figure #2 depicts the existing utilities located in the proximity
of this proposed development which may provide service to it. As can be seen,
a 30 trunk watermain is in place within Coachman Rd., across from the new
Water Treatment Plant site. Also, a 10" trunk sanitary sewer line is in place
along the most westerly border of this proposed development.
No proposed utility layout was submitted with this application, subsequently,
Staff is not able to comment upon it. Whatever the layout will be, it will
be necessary to extend the 30" trunk watermain south within Coachman Rd. to
the center section line of section 16, then east to the most easterly property
line of this development as part of the city's master trunk watermain plan.
The proposed utility layout, along with plans and specifications for these
proposed utilities, will have to be submitted to the Engineering Dept. for
approval.
STREETS: Currently, the access for this proposed development is from Coachman
Rd. Coachman is a municipal street that has been constructed to its ultimate
design section up to the Public Works garage. This section is 36' wide with
bituminous surfacing and concrete curb and gutter and built to a 9 ton load
capacity.
Coachman Rd. shall be extended to the south boundary of this development.
In reviewing the Comprehensive Plan, it is evident that an east /west streetis to
connect Federal Dr. with Blue Cross Rd. as shown in Figure #3. Although
the alignment shown on the City thoroughfare plan is in concept only, it would
be appropriate for this east /west street to be located along the center section
line of section 16, which is also the southern border of this proposed develop-
ment. This development shall provide access to Parcel 010 -05, a 10 acre tract
located in the SWk of the SWk of the NEk of Section 16, to provide a connection
with Violet La. when this property develops. Presently, Violet La. deadends
at the east line of Parcel 010 -05. It has come to Staff's attention that
the 40 acres immediately south of this proposed development is being considered
for R -1 development. Staff has reviewed preliminary layouts with potential
developers of this site. Subsequently, this development should work with
those developers to provide continuity in street alignment between these
developments. Finally, all streets should be constructed to City design
standards. Staff recommends that Coachman Rd. be a 44' wide, 9 ton load capacity
street. This will provide two traffic lanes and parking on both sides. Since
Coachman Rd. is a neighborhood collector street, a 5' sidewalk will be required
along the west side. The major east /west roadway should also be a 44' wide,
9 ton load capacity street. Since this street is a collector street, a 5'
sidewalk will be required along the north side. The remaining internal streets
shall be a minimum 32' face -to -face width and 7 ton loading capacity design.
NOTE: The reason for the discrepancy in widths between the existing Coachman
Rd. (36') and the proposed 44' wide extension to Coachman Rd. is because no
parking will be allowed on the existing portion of Coachman Rd. This will
not be the case with the extention of Coachman Rd. since many residents will
obtain access directly onto it. On street parking will undoubtedly occur.
A 36' wide street with parking on both sides is not wide enough to provide
a safe means of traffic movement considering the number of trips generated
by this parcel and parcels to the south which will use Coachman Rd. to obtain
access to Yankee Doodle Rd.
REZONING PRELIMINARY PLAT- HAMPTON HEIGHTS
SEPTEMBER 24, 1985
PAGE 4.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: Since Coachman Rd. will be utilized as a neighborhood
collector street, it should have a right -of -way dedication of 70' with a half
right -of -way dedication of 35' along the easterly portion of the existing
Coachman Rd. A 35' half right -of -way shall also be dedicated along the southerly
boundary of this development for the east /west neighborhood collector street
that would eventually connect Federal Drive with Blue Cross Rd. A 55' half
right -of -way should be dedicated for Yankee Doodle Rd. along the north portion
of this proposed development. Finally, the local access. roadways shall be
dedicated to a minimum of 60' in width. This will provide for the necessary
boulevard width for snow storage, private utility installation, sight distance
and sidewalk.
Easements, in addition to the standard easements to be dedicated, would include
storm sewer easements required for the storm sewer line from Royal Oaks, storm
and sanitary sewer easements along the west boundary of this proposed development,
the ponding easement, up to the high water elevation for pond CP -1, and any
other utility easements for utility lines not located within public right -of -way.
ASSESSMENTS: Special assessments for trunk area water and sanitary sewer
have been assessed for this proposed development. However, several special
assessments have been deferred by special agreement with Mr. Haye, the owner
of this property. As a result of this development, all these assessments
will be due at the time of final plat approval. These special assessments
were deferred under project #371.
CONDITIONS
1. A Planned Development Agreement be entered into and the exhibits be submitted
showing the number of lots and also the house plans which will be allowed
for this proposed development.
2. The term of the P.D. shall be no longer than 5 years.
.3. The lot size deviation to the 6,000 S.F. shall be approved for this develop-
ment.
4. A 10' front setback blanket Variance shall be granted throughout the develop-
ment.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: JANUARY 23, 1985
RE: SCHWANZ LAKE PARK NURR PROPERTY
BACKGROUND:
As identified in the Parks System Plan, the department has been trying to
acquire property from three private homeowners which abutts Schwanz Lake Park
on the north shore. Staff has had discussions with Mr. Tom Murr regarding the
acquisition of a portion of his lot for inclusion into Schwanz Lake Park.
PROPOSAL:
A preliminary survey was prepared showing the proposed acquisition by the City
of the south end of the Murr property (see attachment). Members will note
there is approximately 7,918 sq. ft. of land. The remaining area to be
acquired is a portion of the lake and approximately 50,253 square feet. In
total, this is 1.337 acres.
For parks purposes the water has no value whatsoever. However, staff is of
the opinion that we should try to compensate Mr. Murr for the value of the
land based on reasonable and current park and land values.
With impending improvements to Golden Meadow Road which Mr. Murr fronts on,
he is also contemplating a lot split as a result of the impending assessments
associated with this road improvement. Mr. Murr would like to conclude an
agreement which would provide for the sale of this land to the City including
the resolution of future park dedication requirement for a lot split.
At current land values of $10,000 per acre for residential property which
amounts to approximately 22.9 cents per square foot, say 25 cents per square
foot, based on the 7,918 square feet of land, the value would be $1,979.50.
The value of the water is of no significance to the City or the Parks
Recreation Department, but does have some intrinsic value for Mr. Murr.
Therefore, it is proposed that the City offer Mr. Murr $2,000 for the land and
waive any park dedication fee on a lot split in lieu of obtaining the 1.156
acres of water. Further, the City would be responsible for associated costs
and legal fees associated with this acquisition process. Funding for this
acquisition would come from the park site acquisition and development fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending and seeking authorization to proceed with an offer to
Mr. Murr to acquire 1.337 acres at $2,000, waiving park dedication fees
associated with a future lot split now being contemplated by Mr. Murr.

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FAGAN, MINNESOTA
JANUARY 17, 1985
A special meeting of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission was called to
order by Chairman Martin at 7 :10 P.M.. Members present were Alt, Bertz,
Carroll, Kubik, Martin, Masin and Thurston. Mike Fedde was absent due to
illness and Tom Ketcham arrived near the meeting's conclusion. Parks
Recreation Director, Ken Vraa; Landscape Architect, Steve Sullivan; and
Administrative Assistant, Liz Witt, were present. Parks Consultant, Tim
Erkkila; and Public Works Director, Tom Colbert, made special presentations.
1) BLACKHAWK PARK CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW TIM ERKKILA
Steve Sullivan and Ken Vraa showed slides of Blackhawk Lake and adjacent
areas. Director Vraa noted that Mrs. Waldron has 4.5 acres of property on the
north shore of Blackhawk Lake which is available for acquisition. Ed Dunn
owns lakefront acreage, some of which the City might acquire through park
dedication with the City purchasing additional acreage. Access via the south
route into the park will require acquisition from Leo Murphy. Director Vraa
said he may be seeking an Acquisition and Development Grant which will have a
greater chance of being funded than just acquisition. He continued,
indicating that a concept plan had been worked on by Mr. Erkkila for
Commission review and comment.
Parks Consultant, Tim Erkkila, presented the concept plan for Blackhawk Park
which would incorporate an internal trail, a picnic area, canoe /fishing
access, an open area for hiking and skiing and benches for seating to
comfortably see different scenic views. He suggested that a bridge over the
narrow passage of water might be feasible and provide an extension to the
trail system. A floating bridge at the east end of the lake might allow for
looping of the trail. There were numerous questions and comments regarding
grading, access, views and program uses.
Commission members generally liked the concept plan and recommended that the
City and staff proceed with the acquisition and development planning. In
response to a question, Director Vraa said a L.A.W.C.O.N. grant is a
possibility with the federal government paying 50 the state and local 25%
each. Commission recommended the City obtain "First Right Of Refusal" for the
Waldron property pending the L.A.W.C.O.N. application outcome.
2. PROPOSAL FOR BLUE CROSSALUE SHIELD PARK EARLY'ACQUISITION
Parks Recreation Director Vraa reviewed the twelve acre park site which will
be created through 7.78 acres of park dedication and 4.22 acres through park
acquisition. Blue Cross /Blue Shield is not ready to develop their property
for a couple of years and staff is recommending_ the City consider acquisition

of the entire twelve acre site at this time. The Director reviewed the
priority for development of the park and an outline of the proposal seeking
early acquisition by dedication and purchase. Members asked if Blue
Cross /Blue Shield was willing to commit themselves to this. Mr. Vraa
responded that informal discussions have been very productive and believes a
successful acquisition is likely. He went on to explain, indicating that they
have an interest in seeing the park under construction. After additional
discussion Thurston moved, Carroll seconded, that Director Vraa proceed with
formal negotiations and proposal to Blue Cross /Blue Shield for early
acquisition of 10.25 acres and 1.75 acres by purchase as outlined.
All voted in favor.
3. PROPOSED LANDSCAPE POLICY DRAFT REVIEW
Included in the packet was a proposed landscape policy. The policy covered
the following issues;
A. Minimum quantity of landscape material requirements.
B. Loss of existing vegetation to development.
C. Lack of landscaped area requirements for parking lots.
D. Standards for screening parking lots, utility area's, loading docks and
outside storage from public roads and adjacent differing land uses.
E. Lack of plant specifications thus allowing any type and size to be
planted.
F. Maintenance requirements.
G. Minimum green space requirements.
Park Planner, Steve-Sullivan, reviewed policies of other communities and
proposed recommendations for Eagan. The Commission then discussed the policy
issues. Members were pleased with the report and supported the
recommendations. Staff asked the Commission for direction on minimum green
space requirement. Commission consensus for minimum percentage green space
was 15 Commission member Kubik suggested that a minimum amount of green
space be a requirement. He noted that the more green space, the less runoff
and the less environmental impact on our City lakes. There was discussion if
the report shall be incorporated into an ordinance rather than a policy.
Chairman Martin and Director Vraa suggested the possibility of a joint meeting
with the City Council to discuss the draft landscape proposal and to receive
further direction from the Council.
Commission member Kubik moved, Bertz seconded, that Director Vraa submit the
draft of the proposed landscape policy to the City Council. All voted in
favor.
4. EROSION CONTROUVATER QUALITY PRESERVATION
Parks Recreation Director, Vraa, introduced the Director of Public Works,
Tom Colbert, who the Commission invited to learn more about what measure the
City take to control erosion and maintain water quality. Mr. Colbert
addressed the Commission, citing how erosion control is presently handled.
City staff reviews the erosion control plan before construction. The grading
plan must be approved by the City and bonding is required to insure
compliance. Restoration of site after construction is completed is also

bonded to insure that the job is done right. Tom said it is difficult to
police compliance with erosion control requirements due to the vast amount of
construction going on in Eagan and the shortage of staff.
When asked about the feasibility of sedimentation ponds, Mr. Colbert said such
ponds are being utilized more and more to control and filter runoff. The
water is filtered through the sedimentation pond before emptying into another
body of water. There were numerous questions by the Commission. Chairman
Martin thanked Mr. Colbert for his time and information and indicated
Commission support for his efforts.
5. P.U.D. AGREEMENT EAGAN HEIGHTS COMMERCIAL
Director Vraa informally reviewed the P.U.D. noting that originally the
Commission recommended a cash dedication, but reserved the right to review
each phase of development as it came before the City. However, the
Commission's current position is to obtain a land dedication. Federal Land
Company is reluctant to give land. Ken asked that two or three Commission
members meet with staff to review the many complex issues. Richard Carroll
and Carolyn Thurston agreed to meet on Monday, January 21.
6. MURR PROPERTY INFORMATION ONLY
The Murr property is north of Schwanz Lake, a portion of which is desirable to
be acquired for that park. Most of the Murr property is under water. Mr. Vraa
has talked informally with Mr. Murr to see if he is interested in selling the
land and for what price. A sketch plan has been prepared showing about 8,000
square feet of land and 50,000 square feet of water. Staff intends to proceed
with additional discussion.
ADJOURNMENT

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
.A. EAGAN WOODS OFFICE PARK TRAMMELL CROW
This development is located south of I -494 and west of Pilot Knob Road. On a
wooded site, the developer plans to build a 72,000 square foot office building
as the first of a three phase project. Planning Assistant, Ingraham, will
work with the developer to assure the required number of parking stalls. A
proof of parking plan is to be submitted by the developer.
Chairman Martin questioned the number of parking stalls required for an office
building. Commission member Carroll is concerned that the final parking plan
might result in a large amount of fill in the ravine and a great loss of
trees. Commission members were concerned with water runoff. Planning
Assistant Ingraham explained that the storm water drains through the ravine,
the golf course and into the Minnesota River. He noted a check dam will
eventually be put in place to- control the flow of runoff.
Commission member Kubik moved, Ketcham seconded, to recommend cash dedication
for the office building. All voted in favor.

B. RAHNCLIFF SECOND ADDITION M.G. ASTLEFORD
Planning Assistant Ingraham commented that Jim Hill plans to "tighten up" the
parking lot and increase the amount of green space. Even with Mr. Hill's
proposed change, the Commission was concerned with the lack of green space in
the development.
Commission member Fedde moved, Alt seconded, the recommendation that more
green space be required in this development. The Commission again expressed
concern with the increasing frequency of proposals such as Rahncliff which has
large amounts of blacktop and little green space. All voted in favor of the
motion.
Chairman Martin noted that when Outlot A comes in for platting, a trail should
be required which would extend to the newly platted lot.
C. LEMAY FIRST ADDITION
The number of apartment units for this development has been decreased from 286
to 282. The gazebo by the lake has been deleted and the area to the east will
not be platted at this time. Commission member Masin asked if the storm water
runoff into the lake is controlled.
Greg Ingraham said steps will be taken to monitor the water quality of the
lake. No action was required on this item.
PARKS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
A. GOAT HILL PARK (CAPRICORN) PLAN REVISIONS
Planning Consultant, Erkkila, provided plan revisions to staff necessitated by
the change in elevation of Lexington Avenue. The access road was moved to the
north, the second ball field and parking lot locations were changed.
Commission members were concerned with foul balls, hockey rink lighting and
the 20 foot setback on the side of the park adjacent to residences. Commission
member Carroll moved, Masin seconded, to accept the revised payment plan for
Goat Hill Park. The motion carried.
B. SCHWANZ LAKE PARK

C. ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMS
Architectural programs for Goat Hill and Northview Parks were discussed quite
extensively. There were questions on how concessions should be handled.
Should they be manned; should there be an outside concessionaire or should
groups such as softball teams run them Commission members decided to think
about these questions and discuss them further at the January 17 meeting.
Staff was directed to review how concessions are handled elsewhere and report
r to the February meeting. Staff will also recommend recreation programs for
Goat Hill Park at the next meeting. Northview Park program discussion will be
