ADJOURNMENT MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: OCTOBER 31, 1984 RE: NOVEMBER 1ST ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING After the Call to Order, Approval of Agenda, and the Minutes of the October Parks Commission meeting, the Commission will review seven development items. The first development proposal is the Lunka Addition which consists of a one acre parcel of land to be split into two single family lots. Staff is recommending a cash dedication for this development. The second preliminary plat is for the Oakwood Addition, consisting of 14 lots immediately north of Lone Oak Road, just west of Pilot Knob Road. Again, staff is recommending.a cash dedication for this preliminary plat. The third plat application is for the Blackhawk townhouse apartments, which consists of 168 apartment units located east of Blackhawk Road and one quarter mile south of Diffley. This development is located in Park Service Section 30E, with nearby access north of Diffley Road. Staff has reviewed this preliminary plat application and would recommend that a cash dedication be required. Discussion by the Advisory Commission relative to the necessity of a tot lot is suggested. The Johannas Addition is within the Gopher Smelting P.U.D.. Under this planned unit development, the City has already received its park dedication, representing a portion of Windtree Park. The preliminary plat for Cedar Space Center Addition, proposed by Norse Development, consists of three industrial lots on approximately 13 acres. The commercial and industrial plat should be subject to cash dedication. At the time of the writing of this memo, staff is continuing to review the need for a trail on the east edge of this parcel which abutts old Cedar Avenue. The next application is within the Blackhawk Park planned development for a preliminary plat for C.T.C. Business Campus. This proposal involves a portion of land within the Blackhawk Park P.U.D. and a portion of the parcel is outside of the P.U.D.. At the time of the writing of this memorandum, staff has not had an opportunity to review in sufficient detail, the area of land within the P.U.D. and that which is outside of the P.U.D. for determination of park dedication responsibilities. This item has been deferred to the November Advisory Planning Commission meeting, and therefore, a recommendation by the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission is not necessary at this meeting. Staff will be reviewing this item with the Commission as an informational item. The final preliminary plat application is by Northwestern Bell Telephone Company for a special permit to construct a telephone utility building north of Diffley Road. This structure is similar to the one proposed for ChesMar Park on Lexington Avenue several months ago. The planned development is within the Lexington South P.U.D. which has fulfilled its land dedication. As always, the planning packets for each development proposed are enclosed. OLD BUSINESS: The first item under "Old Business" is the updating of the Parks System Plan. Members will recall that as part of the System Plan Study, a methodology was included for keeping the plan current. Mr. Erkkila has submitted a text in processing the updating techniques to be reviewed on Thursday evening. Mr. Erkkila, or a member of his staff, will be present to guide the Commission through this material. It should be noted that this is a recommendation, and the Commission should determine whether they are in agreement, and what priority should be assigned to updating of the plan by section. Also to be discussed is the assignment of responsibility for the updating of specific elements within the plan. Members are requested to thoroughly review these pages prior to the meeting. The second item under "Old Business" is the Kehne House. Chairman Martin was to be present at the City Council meeting on October 30 to present the updated version of the Advisory Commission's proposal relative to the disposition of this house. Mr. Martin will report on the Council's actions relative to this item. Enclosed in the packet is the information which was distributed to the City Council for the October 30 meeting. The third item under "Old Business" was discussed at the October 4 Commission meeting and at a special meeting of the Special Issues Subcommittee. Enclosed in the packet is a memorandum from Chairman Martin to the City Council, discussing the natural amenities and the Commission's concern for landscaping and screening within the proposed developments. Mr. Martin presented this item to the City Council at the October 30 meeting. He will provide the Commission with a review of the Council's direction regarding the memorandum. NEW BUSINESS: There will be two items for Commission discussion under "New Business." The first is the annual review of the parks dedication fees. Included in the packet is a separate memorandum concerning this item. The second item under "New Business" relates to the City's general policy regarding beer and food concessions. Again, a separate memorandum has been prepared which provides the Commission with background information on this topic. Staff is asking that the Commission discuss this information and provide it with any direction that it feels is necessary. PARKS BOND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: Enclosed in the packet is information relative to the financial accounting and Commission review process of the parks development program. This was an item of discussion at the last several Commission meetings, and it is hoped that this will answer the Commission's questions. Staff will supplement this memorandum with additional information which will hopefully clarify the intended process. The second item under the "Development Program" will be to update the Commission on the various construction projects now going on. The third item under the "Parks Bond Development Program" is a discussion staff would like to have with the Advisory Commission relative to park shelters and building design. As way of introduction of this topic, members of the Commission are aware that many elements within the Park System Development Program have already been identified and standards established. For example, we know which parks will have ice rinks, the size of those rinks, lighting levels that will be necessary, etc.. However, as it relates to park shelter buildings, the Director of Parks and Recreation and Landscape Architect feel that there are a host of variables that need to be considered in the designing process. For example, should the structure be brick or wood? What about economics of maintenance versus the economics of construction? What about preengineered and prebuilt buildings versus architecturally designed buildings? Staff would like to discuss this in further detail with the Advisory Commission, suggesting that a subcommittee, or committee on the whole, be established. This committee would then review /research with staff, alternatives in construction material and design relative to park shelters /park buildings. OTHER BUSINESS REPORTS: As the Advisory Commission is very much aware, its meetings have continued in to late evening hours over the past several,months. In addition to these late night meetings, the frequency of special meetings, or the calling of subcommittees to deal with specific issues, has been frequent and regular throughout the last several months. There has been some discussion about the need to meet twice a month in order to conduct Advisory Parks Commission business. Chairman Martin and the DirecCtor of Parks Recreation have discussed this alternative as one way of dealing with lengthy meetings. Commission is asked to discuss this, as well as other alternatives for streamlining Commission meetings, in order to complete the many tasks confronting the Advisory Commission. The last item under "Other Business Reports" is relative to the National Recreation Park Association Conference. The Director of Parks Recreation recently returned from the conference, and if time permits, would like to share with the Advisory Commission some insights gained at that conference. Staff apologizes for the late arrival of this agenda and hopes that the Commission will have had an opportunity to review it with this relatively short time frame between its arrival and the Commission meeting. Direc or of Parks Recreation KV /js SUBJECT TO APPROVAL MINUTES OF A SPECIALIMEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1984 The meeting was called to order at 6:00 P.M. by Chairman Martin. Members present included Martin, Fedde, Carroll, Kubik, Masin, Alt, Bertz and Ketcham. Also present were the Director of ;Parks Recreation Vraa and Steve Sullivan, Landscape Architect. Chairman Martin lead an on -site tour of the proposed LeMay Lake lst Addition. It was indicated that the purpose of the meeting was to determine whether the shoreline of LeMay's Lake, within the proposed plat, is suitable and useable for possible parks purposes. Landscape Architect Steve Sullivan distributed a prepared analysis of the site indicating slopes, setbacks, property corner's and extent of parkland dedication if this was to be the selected alternative. There were numerous questions and discussions regarding the potential opportunities for parkland useage, maintenance, zoning of adjacent parcels, and the possibilities of acquiring scenic and trail easements. Members indicated that acquisition by dedication would assure the City absolute control and provide for protection of the site. It was noted, however, that this parcel would then be landlocked and access for development and maintenance would have to be through private property. Development of the trail would be contingent upon successful acquisition of additional property to the east and south. After considerable discussion by the Advisory Commission, on a motion by Carroll, seconded by Alt, with all members voting C in favor, that the Parks Recreation Commission recommend to the City Council that a cash dedication be a condition of plat. Further, that the developer provide for a 75 -foot, scenic easement along the shoreline which would prohibit the development of any man -made structure including docks, gazebos, floating rafts, without prior approval of the Parks Recreation Commission and City Council. The developer is also responsibile for providing a tot lot within the development and for the designation of an open, green space area suitable for adult free play. Thee developer is also to provide for a trail easement within the 75 -foot, scenic basement for possible future trail construction by the City. KEHNE HOUSE Chairman Martin indicated that he was proceeding with the writing of a draft for uses of the Kehne House to be presented to the City Council along with the estimated cost for a security system. He indicated that he would be distributing this to other members of the subcommittee on the Kehne House for their review and scrutiny. He indicated he'd hoped to prepare this for presentation to the City Council at its first meeting in November. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to conduct by the Advisory Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 8 :00 P.M. C' Dated: Advisory Parks Recreation Secretary S UBJECT TO APPROVAL MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION•COMMISSION EAGAN, MINNESOTA OCTOBER 4, 1984 A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission was called to order at 7:10 P.M. by Chairman Martin. The meeting was preceded by a ground breaking ceremony at Rahn Park. Members present were Alt, Fedde, Masin, Bertz, Martin, Thurston, Ketcham, Carroll and Kubik. Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation; Greg Ingraham, Planning Assistant; Steve Sullivan, Landscape Architect; and Liz Witt, Administrative Assistant, were also present. Tom Healey, developer, was present for discussion on St. Francis Wood 4th Addition and LeMay's Lake 1st Addition. AGENDA Parks and Recreation Director Vraa added two items to Other Business. Commission member Carroll moved, Fedde seconded, that the agenda be approved as amended.. The motion carried. MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 6, 1984 A typographical error was noted,on page two of the minutes of the September 6th meeting. A correction on page 4 deleted "heating and plumbing" from the $30,000 improvement cost proposal. Commission member Masin moved, Bertz seconded, that the minutes be approved as corrected. The motion carried. RESIGNATION OF BILL JACKSON Commission members directed staff to write a letter of appreciation to Bill Jackson on behalf of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission The members also included the suggestion that if Bill has an opportunity to reapply sometime in the future, the Commission would like to have him back. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS A. Bell Lexington Addition NW Bell Telephone Assistant Planner Greg Ingraham explained that Bell Telephone is platting their property into three, one-acre lots. They have a building on Lot 1, will leave Lot 2 for a possible parking lot and construct a digital switching office on Lot 3. The preliminary plat has been approved by the' Planning Commission and the City Council subject to park dedication. Commission member Masin moved, Kubik seconded, the recommendation of cash dedication for Lots 2 and 3 and that trail easement along Lone Oak and Lexington Avenue be required for future construction of a trailway. All voted in favor. ,J APC Minutes October 4, 1984 B. Millwork at Fagan Don Prettyman The developer proposes to rezone 9 acres from A to CSC and build five office /warehouse facilities. All of the area has been designated as outlots. The developer must plat each parcel as he develops it; therefore, the Parks Recreation Commission will review only Outlots B C which will be platted for the first two buildings. Commission member Carroll moved, Kubik seconded, that a commercial industrial cash dedication be recommended for the two outlots with consideration given to the other lots at the time they are platted. All voted in favor. C. Cedar Cliff Commercial James Durning Under discussion was Outlot H, Cedar Cliff Commercial, which lies along the east side of Scott Trail near Cliff Road. Mr. Kubik questioned the amount of parking and lack of green space, indicating the site was very much a blacktop surface. Planning Assistant Ingraham noted Planning staff had recom- mended some green landscape islands to alleviate the heavy concentration of blacktopped parking for the two proposed office buildings. He reported the developer didn't want to make the snowplowing operation more difficult by including the islands and his wishes prevailed with the Planning Commission. Parks Commission members noted they did not like all of the blacktop area and the lack of green space shown in the proposal. It was noted that some parking spaces on either end of the pond are at right angles with one another making it easy to cause dents in cars when doors are opened. Commission members felt that green islands should be placed there to provide a buffer for cars as well as an aesthetically pleasing area. There was a discussion by the Commission relative to its role and responsibility for this type of issue, noting that landscaping and aesthetics are important to the community. George Kubik moved, Bertz seconded, to recommend: cash dedication at the commercial- industrial rate; a trail to be constructed on Cliff Road; and a sidewalk on Scott Trail. The Commission asked for the consideration of the preservation of as many hardwood trees as possible; the consideration of including green islands at either corner of the pond area to better define the parking area; and moving or screening the trash site visible from Cliff Road. The motion carried unanimously. D. Rahncliff M.G. Astleford Planning Assistant Ingraham gave a presentation of the plat proposal noting service stations, restaurants and a 200 -room hotel are included in the plans. Commission members again expressed concern with so much building and blacktop area and so little green space. Commission member Fedde questioned the direct access to Cliff Road as it afforded the opportunity for cars to cross and park on the existing trailway. Commission member Kubik felt the Special Issues Committee should review a policy for a set percentage of green space required per development as soon as possible. Such a policy could then be jointly discussed with the Planning Commission and City Council. 2 APC Minutes October 4, 1984 After further discussion, Commission member Fedde moved, Alt seconded: 1. To recommend commercial- industrial cash dedication for the platted lots with consideration given to the outlot when it comes in for platting; 2. Because there is so much concrete and asphalt, the Commission recommends the developer delete the three -car space at the north end of the lot and put in a green island; 3. Access should be off Rahn Road with none at Cliff because the latter would conflict with the existing trail; and 4. Staff should review trails along Rahn Road and require a sidewalk with this plat. The motion carried unanimously. Commission memb -r Thurston moved, Carroll seconded, that staff be directed to review the trail plans for Rahn Road south of Cliff with the County. If a County trail is not proposed on the east side of Rahn Road, then the trail will become the responsibility of the developer. Commission member Kubik then requested of staff that trailways be shown on development proposals as presented to the Commission. E. St. Francis Woods 4th Addition Tom He aley The developer plans to construct 218 townhouse units which would be for sale. The site, near Duckwood and Lexington, is heavily wooded. Mr. Healey stated it is the developer's intention to preserve as many trees as possible. He said a swimming pool was to be installed with the second phase of development. It was noted by the Commission that the area is to be served by O'Leary Park, which will have great demands placed on it with so many new units now being proposed within the service area there. Director Vraa said that trail dedication for Lexington Avenue is required. Commission member Kubik commented he'd like to see an internal pathway in the development which would link all of the amenities. Mr. Healy stated he would be developing a pathway to interconnect the development to the pool location. Richard Carroll moved, Fedde seconded, the following recommendations: 1. Cash dedication for the development, 2. A trailway along Lexington Avenue, 3. A tot lot be constructed with staff approval of the location, 4. A $5,000 bond for the tot lot, 5. An internal pathway be constructed of natural materials, and 6. Consideration be given to providing an adult recreational space which would be unimproved. All voted in favor. APC Minutes October 4, 1984 F. LeMay's Lake 1st Addition Tom Healey Planning Assistant Ingraham described the proposal which is for 288, one and two- bedroom apartment units. The developer also proposes a pool, gazebo, adult recreation space but no tot lot as few children are expected to live in the units. Questions were raised about a trail between buildings and use of the shoreline. Mr. Healey said he would like to put in a private trailway to access the proposed future park to the east. He continued by saying he would discourage the general public from walking along the lake shore and enter into the apartment area complex land. Chairman Martin noted the shore area had originally been shown as proposed future parkland in the systems plan study and he did not want to relinquish it for private development without a thorough review. Parks Recreation Director Vraa said if we were to acquire the lakeshore as parkland, it would dead end at the apartment complex. He thought chances of acquiring parcels around the lake were extremely remote as they were already platted into lots. He said the developer moved the buildings away from the shore as the City requested and perhaps that is all we should ask. Discussion continued for some time and the Commission could not reach a consensus. It was decided to hold a special meeting to view the site and then reach a decision. George Kubik moved, Martin seconded, to continue the item to the special meeting. The motion carried. OLD BUSINESS A. Kehne House Chairman Martin and Director Vraa went before the City Council to explain the $30,000 option recommended by the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission. The Council was concerned with security of the building. They also wanted assurances the Parks Recreation Commission would use the building in three years, what the uses would be and how they would fit in with plans for Patrick Eagan Park. The Council indicated agreement with the, dislike of the role of landlord. City staff is to research the costs of a security system and report back to the Council. Member Kubik questioned ways in which the Commission could impress upon the Council the uniqueness and value of the home for recreational use. After dicussion, staff was directed to check with other communities to see how they handled similar situations. The Special Issues Committee will continue to study uses and building security. They will put together a report for future presentation to the_ Council on uses for the house. B. King 1st and 2nd Additions Director Vraa reported that the City Council did not approve this development due to high road costs. Mr. King is preparing revisions to the proposed plat which would still provide for a land dedication to Schwanz Lake Park. APC Minutes October 4, 1984 NEW BUSINESS A. Jim Curry Open Space Name Request The Commission discussed Mr. Curry's request to name an 8 -acre open space parkland gift for his wife. The Commission discussed the current policy regarding such requests. After a review of alternatives, it was the consensus of the Commission that a plaque should be placed in the area designated by Mr. Curry with the inscription: "DONATED IN HONOR OF BARBARA CURRY as a fitting honorarium. PARK DEVELOPMENT A. The Director reviewed several models and diagrams which were on display for Commission viewing exhibiting play equipment for various parks. Staff and Commission expressed concern that the dollar amounts allocated for neighborhood parks may not be sufficient. Consideration for increasing these amounts shall be considered. B. New North Park Acquisition Director Vraa reviewed the site parcel near Yankee Doodle and 35E. He said formal negotiations had not commenced but various possibilities for acquisition were being discussed. The City has two approaches buying one parcel at a fairly high price or picking up landlocked remnant properties at a lower price. There are no cost figures available as yet. C. Rahn Park Ground breaking ceremonies were held prior to the meeting. The $146,000 contract had been let with rough grading expected to take three to four weeks. D. Other Bituminous mats have been laid in three tennis courts and the fence' contract for Northview Park was let. COMMISSION REPORTS AND OTHER BUSINESS A. Recreation Committee Committee Chairman Kubik reported that the Committee had met with" Dorothy Peterson to discuss present and future recreation programs. In a requested report, it was noted that several programs are growing and Dorothy spends over 40 hours a week on programming alone. In reviewing summer playground programming, the Committee plans to expand the location of Summer in the Park to provide better opportunities. The Committee suggests more amenities be in place at Fish Lake Park before Summer in the Park is held there again. Other changes were also discussed. w APC Minutes October 4, 1984 The Committee looked at winter programming and suggested an ice fishing contest together with a treasure hunt and a winter picnic as a possibility. They are considering a permanent sliding hill at Schwanz Lake. Suggested for consideration is the purchase of a mobile "chuck- wagon" at a cost of $1,000. The wagon could be rented out to groups for block parties, etc. George Kubik will report back to the Commission on this and other items. B. Maintenance Director Vraa included a maintenance report in the packet. There were no further questions regarding maintenance activities. C. Parks Acquisition and Development Fund The fund currently has $540,000, most of which is not earmarked for specific projects. Director Vraa noted that more money might be needed for the North Park acquisition than originally anticipated. D. November Agenda Items Agenda items include "beer in park" policy, park dedication review; a timetable for park construction, park bond accounting, and methodology for updating a system plan. E. Composting The City Council approved the City's providing leaf composting for residents. The drop -off point will be at Rahn Park with treatment to be at a site in Wedgewood Park. F. Jim Curry, Lexington South P.U.D. Mr. Curry will be giving the last deeds for over 70 acres of parkland to the City at the October 16 Council meeting. Members are asked to be at the Council meeting to take part in the presentation. G. Special Meetings A special meeting to review Kehne House uses and view the Le May's Lake site will be Thursday, October 11 a' 6:00 P.M. at City Hall. The Special Issues Committee will discuss a policy for green space requirement at a meeting on October 18, 6:30 P.M. at City Hall. ADJOURNMENT Tom Ketcham moved, Fedde seconded, that the meeting be adjourned. Time of adjournment was 11:20 P.M. LW Dated: Advisory Parks Recreation Secretary CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: LUNKA ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT VARIANCE APPLICANT: ROSE LUNKA LOCATION: PART OF THE NWk OF SECTION 10 EXISTING ZONING: R -1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: OCTOBER 23, 1984 DATE OF REPORT: OCTOBER 15, 1984 REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS PROPOSAL SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Plat approval of the Lunka Addition consisting of 2 single family lots on approx. 1 acre of land located along Towerview Rd., east of Pilot Knob Rd. A 20' variance is also re- quested to allow a 30' front setback from the 50' average setback existing along that block. ZONING LAND USE: The property is zoned R -1 (residential single family) and there is an existing home on the proposed Lot 1 which will remain. Lots 2 is vacant land with a low area at the rear of the parcel. The variance request stems from a desire to keep the house away from this low area. CODE COMPLIANCE: The proposed lots meet all the lot size and setback requirements of an R -1 district, except for the front setback on Lot 2. GRADING /DRAINAGE: Grading and drainage over this proposed development can be best accomplished in conjunction with the building permit and house construction. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main have been installed within Towerview Road. This proposed development has water and services stubbed to each lot as a result of the previous sewer and water construction. STREETS: At issue here is the improvement of Towerview Road to City standards. In the past, Council has deferred the improvement of Towerview Road until development occurs along it. This is the second development to occur along Towerview Road since that time. The first being Holmes Addition. Subsequently, staff would recommend the improvement of Towerview Road be initiated in conjunction with this development. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: Right -of -way for Towerview Road presently exists as a highway easement. Subsequently, staff would recommend that a 30 -ft. half right -of -way be dedicated for Towerview Road along with this plat. The remaining 3 ft. can be transferred to this development by way of a quit claim deed if the applicant so desires. ASSESSMENTS: All assessments for trunk area related facilities have been levied over this development. ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS LUNKA ADDITION 1. A 30 -ft. half right -of -way for Towerview Road be dedicated with this plat. 2. Towerview Road be upgraded to City standards.

ZONING LAND USE: There are currently 4 single family residences on Lots 4,5, 6 of Zhender Acres which make up the 7.4 acre parcel. The 3 lots are zoned R -1 (residential single family) and are accessed from Lone Oak Rd. The land to the north of the existing homes is primarily grassland with scattered hardwood trees. CODE COMPLIANCE: The proposal meets all the density, lot size and setback re— quirements of an R -1 District. The net density is 2.2 units per acre with the smallest lot being 12,700 sq. ft. SITE PLANNING: 13 of the lots are proposed to front on a public street (Oakwood Dr.) which would run from Lone Oak Rd. to the north property line. Lot 3, Block 1 would continue to have a private drive to Lone Oak Rd. GRADING /DRAINAGE: Grading over this proposed development will not adversely impact any drainage or adjacent land if adequate erosion control methods are undertaken. This proposed development is located within major drainage district D with all its drainage eventually ending up in DP -1, as shown in Figure 1. However, this pond presently has no controlled overflow outlet. Subsequently, staff recommends that the lift station required for Pond DP —1 to provide a positive control outlet be constructed concurrent with this proposed development. The downstream storm sewer required to convey the overflow from this pond into the Minnesota River Valley is in place. In reviewing the applicant's proposed drainage plan, staff would recommend that the storm water runoff collected at the north end of this development be transmitted westerly to a point approximately 150 ft. west of the northwest corner of this proposed development. This will help reduce erosion and allow for the development of the land to the north. However, adequate utility easements will be required to be obtained by this developer, depending upon the alignment, from either the property to the north or the property to the west. Engineering Report Oakwood Addition October 18, 1984 Page 2 UTILITIES: Figure 2 illustrates the location of existing utility lines with respect to this proposed development. Although a sanitary sewer line is in place along Lone Oak Road, it is not deep enough to provide service to this entire development. Subsequently, sanitary sewer will have to be extended from the existing manhole located at the northeast corner of Lot 8 of Zhender Acres. The preliminary alignment as submitted by this applicant follows a proposed street alignment which was prepared by this applicant in 1980. This alignment will require easements from Kenneth and Melvin Erickson across the northern portion of Lot 7 of Zhender Acres, Rosemary and Eva Wood and Ed Bosela and Francis Wood across the southerly portion of Lot 6 of Treffle Acres. Water main should be looped as proposed by this applicant from the existing trunk line located within Lone Oak Road to the existing water line stubbed at the northeast corner of Lot 7 of Zhender Acres. As with the previously discussed sanitary sewer line alignment, the water main alignment will also require easements from the above referenced property owners. The only other feasible alternate alignment to provide sanitary sewer service to this proposed development would be by coming directly east from the stubbed sanitary sewer located in the northeast corner of Lot 7, Zhender Acres, thereby bypassing the route through Lot 6 of Treffle Acres. This route is not recommended due to the future duplication of sanitary sewer line installation, however it may be necessary if easements cannot obtained from the property owners of Lot 6, Treffle Acres. This statement would also be true for the water main. STREETS: This proposed development abutts Lone Oak Road. Lone Oak is a County road which has been constructed to its ultimate design with abutting the frontage of this proposed development. The proposed intersection of the internal public street with Lone Oak Road is set back approximately 450 ft. west of the Lone Oak Road and Pilot Knob Road intersection. Staff feels this setback is sufficient. However, staff would recommend shifting the centerline of the proposed Oakwood Drive 7 ft. east. This will allow the area southeast of this development, formerly proposed as Lone Oak Heights, to provide ap access onto Lone Oak Road thereby creating a four —way intersection with Oakwood Drive. This minor shifting should not impact the Oakwood Addition proposed development adversely. Lot 3, Block 1, of this proposed development does not conform to City Code regarding frontage on public right —of —way. The City Code requires a minimum frontage on public right —of —way of 50 ft. Since this lot contains an existing house with access by way of an easement onto Lone Oak Road, the Commission may wish to waive this requirement. Staff would recommend that if this requirement is waived, the easement across the easterly portion of the southerly portion of Lot 6 be shown on the final plat. Otherwise, all City maps and records will indicate this lot to be landlocked. Engineering Report Oakwood Addition October 18, 1984 Page 3 RIGHT —OF— WAY /EASEMENTS: A 55 ft. half right —of —way should be dedicated for Lone Oak Rd. The proposed 60 ft. right —of —way for the internal public street is sufficient. A utility easement will be required to be dedicated across the north portion of Lot 1, Block 1, of this proposed development of sufficient width to accomodate at least the storm sewer and possibly the water main as previously discussed. All other easements will be required as per City Code. Obtaining the necessary utility easements as previously discussed should be the responsibility of this proposed development. ASSESSMENTS: This proposed development will be responsible for the following trunk area related assessments as listed in the table below. The final amounts of these assessments will be based upon the final rates and areas as determined at the time of final platting.

ZONING LAND USE: The parcel is zoned R -4 (Residential Multifamily) while the Comprehensive Guide Plan designates the parcel R -III with a density range of 6 12 units per acre. The land is covered by sumacs and mature oak trees. Two low areas occur on the property, one on the north property line, the other along the 35 -E R.O.W. to the east. Four existing residences lie between this parcel and Blackhawk Road. CODE COMPLIANCE: The project consists of.21 eight -unit, three -story structures. Each unit has a tuck -under garage and an additional outdoor parking space. The proposal meets all the setback and lot coverage requirements of a R -4 district, except for the setback to the 35 -E R.O.W. which is shown at 30 instead of the required 50'. Due to the topographic constraints, the applicant is requesting a 20' variance to allow for better usage of the slopes. Additional evergreen landscaping should be provided to help mitigate the freeway noise. SITE PLANNING: The units work well with the rolling topography of the site. The garage side of the building is two stories, while the rear side is a three -story walkout style. A tennis court, swimming pool and common building provide a recreation area near the center of the development. The large low area on the northern edge of the property will remain and would act as a buffer to the north. of Units 168 Approx.

According to the preliminary grading plan, this area is to be filled from an 888 elevation to a 903 elevation. This filling will encroach upon the Northern Natural Gas Company easement and onto MnDOT right of way for I -35E. Subsequently, this developer must obtain permits from MnDOT and Northern Natural Gas Company allowing the encroachment of placement of fill material. With the exception of the southerly most portion of this development, the remainder drains northerly into AP -74. A positive overflow gravity outlet is in place for this pond. The subsequent downstream storm sewer is scheduled to be completed with the Suncliff 4th Addition. The portion of this development which drains southerly will drain onto property owned by MnDOT. A portion of the existing depression at the MnDOT property line will be filled in by this development to accommodate cluster H. Subsequently, MnDOT should be informed of these grading and drainage plans in conjunction with the permit for filling the previously referenced depression located northeast of this low area. A written response from MnDOT regarding the two encroachments onto their right of way and property should be received prior to final plat approval. UTILITIES: Utilities have been stubbed to this property at points adjacent Blackhawk Road. Water main and sanitary sewer can be extended from these stubs into this proposed development. The water main will be required to be looped throughout this development and connected to the existing 16 -inch trunk water main located within Blackhawk Road at the south end of this development. This will require an easement from MnDOT be obtained by this developer. STREETS: The access onto Blackhawk Road will be required to align with the future street from the Suncliff 3rd Addition. The internal, private streets shall be a minimum of 28 feet wide with the access drives being a minimum of 32 feet wide. RIGHT OF WAY /EASEMENTS: Right of way required to provide a 50 foot half right of way for Blackhawk Road will be required to be dedicated with this plat. A 20 -foot utility easement will be required to be obtained from MnDOT for the water main looping as previously discussed. In addition, utility easements will be required over the sanitary sewer and water main located within this development. Also, a drainage and utility easement will be required to be dedicated over pond AP -74 encompassing its high water elevation when determined. ASSESSMENTS: All trunk area related assessments have been levied over this proposed development. Therefore, all costs associated with the installation of public improvements within this development will be the sole responsibility of this development. kf RECOMMENDATIONS BLACKHAWK TOWNHOUSE AP ARTMENT S 1. Permits for filling within MnDOT right -of -way and Northern Natural Gas Company's easement must be obtained prior to final plat approval. 2. A 20 -ft. utility easement will be required from MnDOT for the water main construc- tion. 3. A ponding and utility easement shall be dedicated to encompass HWL for Pond AP -74. 4. The private drive entrance shall line up opposite to the Dear Hills Trail intersec- tion. 5. Right -of -way shall be dedicated to provide for a 50 -ft. half right -of -way. 6. All costs associated with the public improvements for this development shall be the sole responsibility of this development. 7. Additional evergreen landscaping and berming shall be provided along the north and east_ property lines to help mitigate noise and screen automobile headlights.

MINNESOTA —r CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: JOHANNES ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICANT: GOPHER SMELTING JOHN TAPPER LOCATION: PART OF THE SW'k OF SECTION 13 EXISTING ZONING: P.D. UNDER THE GOPHER -EAGAN PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: OCTOBER 23, 1984 DATE OF REPORT: OCTOBER 17,1984 REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS PROPOSAL SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Plat approval of the Johannes Addition consisting of 5 single family lots on 5.4 acres of land. The lots would be located west of Elrene Rd. and north of Elrene Ct. ZONING LAND USE: The land is part of an area designated for multiple family housing under the Gopher -Eagan Planned Development. The PD should be amended to allow a single family use. The property is covered by oak trees and rapidly slopes down from the road toward the west. To the south is Windtree Addition, a single family development, vacant multiple family land (under the PD) is to the north and east, agricultural land lies to the west. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates the parcel as residential with a density range of 3 6 units per acre. CODE COMPLIANCE: The project meets all the setback and lot size criteria of an R -1 zone. GRADING /DRAINAGE: The grading over this proposed development will have a minimum impact on the overall existing drainage pattern of this proposed development. All drainage over this proposed development eventually reaches a depressed area bordering the west edge of Lot 2. This inundated depression is incorported in the City's master storm sewer plan as pond JP -33. This pond presently has no positive gravity overflow outlet. Staff recommends that the existing 18 -inch storm sewer presently outletting onto Lot 1 of this proposed development be extended to the normal water elevation of pond JP -33. This project must be performed under City contract since it is a part of the City's trunk storm sewer system. Staff also recommends the proposed storm sewer draining Johannes Court be connected into this trunk storm sewer extention. UTILITIES: The existing 9 -inch sanitary sewer within Elrene Road can provide sanitary sewer service to accommodate basement elevations of approximately 880. Water main may be supplied to this development by connecting into the existing 16 -inch trunk water main located along the westerly side of Elrene Road. PLANNING ENGINEERING REPORT JOHANNES ADDITION OCTOBER 17, 1984 PAGE TWO STREETS: This proposed development will be responsible for upgrading its half of Elrene Road to City collector streets standards. Johannes Court shall be constructed to City standards for residential streets. RIGHT OF WAY /EASEMENTS: Right of way for Elrene Road presently exists as a highway easement deed. Therefore, staff would recommend that this 80 -foot right of way be dedicated with this proposed plat. Right of way as shown Johannes Court meets all City minimum requirements. A 20 -foot utility easement will be required to be dedicated over any existing storm sewer, its extention, and this development's proposed lateral storm sewer. In addition, a ponding and utility easement will be required to be dedicated to encompass the high water elevation (848.0) of pond JP -33. ASSESSMENTS: The following table lists the trunk area and trunk related assessments which are the responsibility of this proposed development. Final assessment rates and amounts will be determined by the rates in effect at the time of final platting and the net final platted area. The final• rate for the lateral benefit from the trunk storm sewer will be determined based on final construction costs. Johannes Addition Assessment Summary Table Description Quantity Rate Amount Trunk Area Storm Sewer 217,800 S.F. $0.045 /S.F. 9,801 Lateral Benefit from 460 F.F. $10.84 /F.F. 4,986 Trunk Water Main Lateral Benefit from 460 F.F. $13.10 /F.F. 6,026 Trunk Sanitary Sewer Total Estimated Assessments 20 All remaining costs for all public improvements to this proposed development will be the sole responsibility of this development. kf ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS JOHANNES ADDITION I. A public improvement project for storm sewer extension shall be authorized prior to final plat approval. 2. A 20 -ft. wide utility easement shall be dedicated over all storm sewer lines along with a ponding and utility easement dedicated to encompass the HWL for pond JP -33. 3. An 80 ft. right -of -way shall be dedicated for Elrene Road. 4. This development shall be responsible for trunk area storm sewer and lateral benefit from trunk water main and sanitary sewer. 5. All costs associated with internal lateral utility improvements and street improvements, indicating the widening of the west half of Elrene Rd.,shall be the sole responsibility of this development. 6.

Lot 3 is proposed to contain 10 self- storage buildings with a caretaker's residence and office along Nicols Rd. ZONING LAND USE: The proposed self storage use is permitted in a Light Indust- rial District. A special permit would be necessary for the.caretaker's residence. This land is bordered by L -I land with a residence to the SE of the property along Nicols Rd. CODE COMPLIANCE: The proposal meets all the setback and lot coverage require- ments of a L -I District. The 74,560 sq. ft. of buildings cover 29% of the site. A turnaround area will be required at the end of Space Center Rd. SITE PLANNING: Access to Lot 3 is off of Nicols Rd. while Lots 1 2 take access from a proposed dead end street (Space Center Rd.) The land gently slopes from Nicols west toward a small creek at the rear of the property. The property will be enclosed by a security fence with a gate along Nicols Rd. GRADING /DRAINAGE: Grading over this proposed development will maintain existing westerly drainage patterns. Presently, all drainage is directed into an existing drainage way bisecting Lot 2. This drainage way flows through a 54" diameter culvert under the railroad tracks and eventually into Pond AP -39. A positive gravity overflow outlet is in place for this pond. Because the existing drainage corridor bisecting Lot 2 accomodates drainage from approximately 25 adjacent acres in addition to this development, it appears that oversizing of a storm sewer system for this development is necessary. City policy considers any storm sewer diameters in excess of 24" to be the responsibility of the City's Storm Sewer Trunk Fund. Preliminary calculations indicate that a 30 diameter storm sewer may be required. Subsequently, the oversizing from 24" to 30 will be the responsibility of the City's Trunk The impact on the Storm Sewer Trunk Fund will be determined upon completion of detailed design of the storm sewer system and site improve ments for this proposed development. Engineering Report Cedar Space Center Addition October 16, 1984 Page 2 It appears that a portion of this proposed development is located within the flood plane district. Although it is not clearly defined on our flood plain map, staff has ascertained that the flood plain elevation is at 720. This elevation juts into this development to encompass most of the drainage Swale through Lot 2. This flood plain area can be filled in provided proper storm sewer is constructed. UTILITIES: Figure 2 illustrates the location of this development with respect to existing utilities. This figure shows a 15" trunk sanitary sewer line running into the Metro Waste Commission's meter station. However, this sanitary sewer line is not deep enough to provide service to this proposed development. Subsequently, this developer will be required to obtain a permit from the Metropolitan Waste Commission to connect into the Burnsville interceptor. Water main will have to be extended along Nicols Road from the Silver Bell Road intersection. Staff recommends that the 12 existing trunk water main be extended across Nicols Road with the lateral water main being constructed along the west side of Nicols Road to service this development. Since this main will be a dead end line and it is unknown as to what will develop on Lots 1 and 2, staff recommends this water main be an 8" diameter main to provide for proper fire flows and pressures. STREETS: Existing access to this proposed development will be from Nicols Road. This road is under the City's jurisdiction and is presently a rural two —lane bituminous surfaced roadway. Staff does not feel this development would merit the upgrading of Nicols Road at this time. Staff recommends the proposed internal street, Space Center Rd., be a cul —de —sac and renamed Space Center Court. The cul —de —sac will provide better turning movements for snow plows and emergency vehicles. This proposed roadway shall be constructed to City standards. RIGHT —OF— WAY /EASEMENTS: A 60 —ft. right —of —way for Space Center Ct. shall be dedicated along with a 60 —ft. radius cul —de —sac. No additional right —of —way will be required for Nicols Road. The reason for this being that MnDOT has turned back the right —of -way of old Cedar Ave. (Hwy. 36) to the City. All easements shall be dedicated as required by code. ASSESSMENTS: All trunk area assessments have been levied over this proposed development. Subsequently, this development shall be responsible for all costs of public improvements within and adjacent to it, with the exception of trunk storm sewer oversizing and the extension of the 12" trunk water main to cross Nicols Rd. If this development is approved it is likely assessments would result for the water main extension for parcel 010 -55, 011 -59, 012 -59, and 020 -60 of the southwest quarter of Section 18. Preliminary assessment amounts will be available when a public hearing is held for the water main extension for this proposed development. ii ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS CEDAR SPACE CENTER ADDITION 1. A public improvement project for water main /storm sewer installation shall be authorized prior to final plat approval. 2. This development's grading and drainage plans shall be reviewed by the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District prior to final plat approval. 3. This development shall be responsible for all costs associated with internal streets and utilities and all lateral benefit from water main and storm sewer improvements. 4. One residential unit for on -site caretaker shall be allowed for securing purposes. 5.

SCOTT ANDERSON) LOCATION: PART OF THE EAST'k OF THE SEk SECTION 16, LYING BETWEEN I -35E PILOT KNOB RD. EXISTING ZONING: R -II UNDER THE BLACKHAWK PARK PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: OCTOBER 23, 1984 DATE OF REPORT: OCTOBER 18, 1984 REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT PROPOSAL SUMMARY: The first application submitted is a request to amend or change the zoning in the Blackhawk Park P.D. Presently, the landuse designated in this P.D. is R -II (mixed residential) with a density of 3 6 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is requesting to amend the Planned Development to allow '.a 72,000 sq. ft. high tech production building. Located on Lot 1, consisting of 6.6 acres and is requesting that R -4 (residential multiple) be allowed as the use on Outlot A, 13.4 acres. The second application submitted is a request for Preliminary Plat. The plat will consist of approx. 20 acres of which Lot 1 would be 6.6 acres and contain the 72,000 sq. ft. high tech production building. Out lot A, 13.4 acres, would be the remainder of the parcel presently not proposed for development with this application. ZONING LAND USE: In review of this 20 acres parcel, it appears that a portion is within the Blackhawk Park P.D. north and a small portion of the property could be outside of the P.D. determining where the actual road right -of -way is for I -35E. In either case, the property would either require amending the zoning to allow the high tech production facility as a permitted use within this area, or a new P.D. which would spell out the high tech production building as a per- mitted use. Amendment of the Planned Development or a rezoning to a P.D. would be required. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this parcel as an R -II (mixed residential) with a density of 3 6 dwelling units per acre. The proposal submitted is a deviation from the Land Use Guide, therefore, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan would be required if this were approved and accepted as a permitted use within this geographical area. CODE COMPLIANCE: The proposed 72,000 sq. ft. building covers approx. 25% of the lot area. The lot coverage allowed in all of the zoning districts range from 20 35 therefore, this would be within the perimeters of the coverage allowed. The only setback problem that Staff forsees, would be the NW corner of the building abutting I -35E. In review of this setback requirement, 50' would be required and the applicant is showing a 40 This is the least impacted area of the site putting the building and parking as far away from the residential property along Pilot Knob Rd. PLANNING ENGINEERING REPORT CTC BUSINESS CAMPUS OCTOBER 23, 1984 PAGE 2. PARKING: In trying to relate the parking spaces to this building, the applicants indicated that 30,000 sq. ft. would be used as office and approx. 40,000 sq. ft. for warehouse. A.D.I has indicated that they have worked with 3 parking spaces per 1,000 and should be adequate to serve parking for this facility. It is also Staff's understanding that there will be an initial 120 employees with a potential of 225. In calculating the 3 spaces per 1,000, you only arrive at 216 parking spaces. Staff suggests that a minimum of 223 with a potential of 250 should be provided which would be approx. 3.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. ACCESS: The proposed access was originally off of Pilot Knob Rd. South of Crestridge Lane. Staff suggested that the original access should not be allowed and minimum access should align with Crestridge. Staff is suggesting that the main access should be off of Englert Rd., which is a dedicated public street running on the south property line of this 20 acre parcel. Outlot A. The applicants are proposing that a land use designation or zoning be granted to Outlot A at this time. They have requested that R -4 be the zoning permitted or. this remaining parcel. The applicants have done no site plans or preliminary layouts as to how many units would fit on this specific parcel. The options Staff can see is that the applicant submit a tentative site plan showing locating of buildings, number of units and parking prior to the R -4 zoning that no zoning be given at this time until a plan is brought in or that a less intense land use be granted more in conformance with the Comprehensive Guide Plan. SUMMARY: There has been a specific request for a high tech production building containing 72,000 sq. ft. The APC should review this request as to how it would fit at this loction. If the proposed building and land use makes sense, then the APC should review this zoning change and Comprehensive Guide Plan change for this specific location. GRADING /DRAINAGE: The proposed grading plan for this development reveals en- croachment onto pond JP -3 ponding area. This encroachment occurs along the northern portion of JP -3 and results in a 12% reduction of storage volume for a 100 year frequency storm. Staff would recommend this 12% loss of storage volume be compensated for by enlarging the pond where practical. Internal drainage will be collected by a laterial storm sewer constructed as a part of this development and directed into pond JP -3. Pond JP -3 should be able to accomodate this drainage since it is connected by a positive gravity outlet to Fish Lake and subsequently to the Minnesota River valley. UTILITIES: Figure 1 reveals existing utilities located within the proximity of this proposed development to provide service to it. Sanitary sewer service can be provided from the trunkline located within Englert Rd. Watermain may be supplied extending it from the trunkline located within Pilot Knob Rd. Staff recommends the extension of watermain along Englert Road from Pilot Knob Rd. to the east entrance of this development. This is because later on in this report, Staff will require the only access to this deveopment be from Englert Rd. Staff also recommends Englert Rd. be upgraded to handle the traffic from this proposed development. It is advisable that the watermain be installed at PLANNING ENGINEERING REPORT CTC BUSINESS CAMPUS OCTOBER 23, 1984 PAGE 3. that time. Otherwise, the preliminary utility layout appears adequate. STREETS: This proposed development abutts Englert Rd. on its south and Pilot Knob Rd. on a portion of its easterly boundary. Englert Rd. is currently a gravel surfaced City street while Pilot Knob is a bituminous paved, two lane rural, County highway. Staff strongly recommends against access to this development off of Pilot Knob Rd. as proposed. The offset intersection created by this proposed driveway and Crestrigde La. would, in the opinion of Staff, create a traffic hazard. The average daily traffic volume of Pilot Knob Rd. is 5,300 per day according to the 1983 traffic count. Adding up to 600 more trips per day (200 employees x 3 trips /day) in this vicinity, would pose traffic hazards. Staff is recommending the only access to this development be off of Englert Rd. until such time right of -way can be obtained opposite Crestridge La. to provide a 4 way intersection at this point. Now that Englert Rd. is proposed to be the major access point for this develop- ment, it would be appropriate for Englert Rd. to be upgraded to City standards to the entrance for this development. With this increased traffice, Staff further recommends that a right turn and left turn lane be established along Pilot Knob Rd. at the Englert Rd. intersection. This will require Staff and the Developer to work closely with the Dakota County Hwy. Dept. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS: Staff would recommend that adequate right -of -way as determined by the Dakota County Highway Engineer be dedicated with this plat for Pilot Knob Rd. Staff will require a 33' half right -of -way be dedicated for Englert Rd. along with this plat. Adequate easements shall be required to be dedicated over all the public utilities. A ponding and utility easement will be required to be dedicated to encompass high water elevation of 845 of pond JP -3. Other easements shall be dedicated as required by code. ASSESSMENTS: This proposed development will be responsible for the assessments as listed in the following table. The final assessment amount will be determined by the rates in effect at the time of final platting and the areas of the final plat. This development shall be responsible for all costs of constructing utilities within this development and its share of the Englert Rd. street and watermain improvements. I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail with the APC at the October 23, 1984 meeting. ASSESSMENT SUMMARY TABLE DESCRIPTION Quantity Rate Amount Parcel 01600 010 -76 A.

Some sections, specifically Inventory and Analysis, Acquisition and Development, and Funding and Implementation, will require major effort over one and two year cycles to keep them accurate (at least during this active stage of Eagan's development). General updating techniques are outlined below followed by a section by section application of the techniques. UPDATING TECHNIQUES 1. Addendum. This method involves a yearly review of each section. In sections with minor activity, the review should result in the completion of an addendum inserted at the end of each section. These addenda may consist of a summary of new information, issues, problems, and developments that have occurred over the year as discussed by the Park Commission. The task of creating an addendum will be far less laborious if Park Commission members make pencil notes in the margin of their plans all year long. Addenda information will then be readily available at the time of revisons or rewriting. 2. Revised Pages. Certain individual pages of plan, particularly charts and figures, will need to be revised in order to communicate progress and current status. These will actually replace original pages in the plan. These pages should be dated and possibly even printed in a different color to highlight the fact that they are updates. 3. Sectional or Complete Plan Rewrite. There is no definite time period at which all or parts of a park system plan need rewriting. However, a rewrite should occur when a City is reaching the end of the planning period or when the park system progresses to the point that plan or individual sections no longer seem to address the real issues relating to park and recreation. Rewrites of this entire plan are expected to occur in five year intervals (which coordinates with the 10 year interval of the U.S. Census). This would place the first rewrite in 1987. UPDATING SYSTEM EAGAN PARK SYSTEM PLAN October 20, 1984 Page 2 Any updates or additions to the plan should be recorded on a log located in the front of the plan document (probably just before the Table of Contents). The record should include the date of the update, the section in which it is located, page number, and some identifying reference. Example UPDATES AND ADDITIONS SINCE ORIGINAL PRINTING Date I Section Pagel Subject 1 -12 -85 Trails E -29 Fig. E -4 Comp. Trails Plan 1 -30 -86 Pk. Rec. Stand. H -15 1984 Addendum UPDATING TECHNIQUES APPLICATION SECTION A TACTICS STUDY: The tactics section is a statement of major issues and directions of the park system. It is not recommended that this section be rewritten until embarking upon a complete rewrite of the plan. A yearly review of the section for familiarity, discussion of margin notes, and issuing an addendum (noting possible new issues and directions) is recommended. SECTION B PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT: This section is basically a history, or documentation of specific activities, and not subject to revision. However, yearly updates on public involvement activities should be added to the back of the section, e.g. the public involvement in the bond issue process, the priorities expressed by the public with regard to development, and public comment regarding master planning of the park sites. SECTION C INVENTORY ANALYSIS: This section should be updated relatively frequently since it is an indicator of the rate of progress in the development of the park system. The section is divided into three parts planning context, demographic context, and park and recreation inventory. Updating the planning context may be in the form of a yearly addendum summarizing major .developments in the City's planning goals and ordinances. The City's planner can be asked to help with this. Every two or three years Chart C -1, the comparison of park dedication fees in the metropolitan area, should be reviewed.. Figure C -1, Population Projections and Distribution, should be revised every 2 years, since this information is vital to gauging the validity of recreation projections. The revision should be based on the best information from the City's planner. Much of the rest of the information in the demographics is based on U.S. Census information and can't be reliably revised until after the next census. UPDATING SYSTEM EAGAN PARK SYSTEM PLAN October 20, 1984 Page 3 The charts and figures of the park and recreation inventory should be revised every two years to accurately assess trends. An addendum noting changes in the system may be issued every other year. A rewrite of the text analyzing the chart and figure information should be done every four years. SECTION D PONDS AND LAKES: Chart D -4 and D -5 of this section set out the potential uses and recommended management techniques of each pond and lake. The Park Commission may want to prioritize the lake uses and actually set some goal dates. Prioritizing and goal setting could be done every 3 to 5 years. A complete pond and lake study won't need to be done more often than every five years except on lakes with particular use potential. For example, the clarity of a lake may be retested yearly if it is felt to have good swimming potential in a desirable location. Retesting results or any progress made toward achieving better water quality, access, or fish management should be noted in a yearly addendum. SECTION E TRAILS: Developments to the trail system should be noted in a yearly addendum. Such developments could include new trails built within the year, new problems encountered with proposed trail corridors, new problems with existing trails, etc. Every two years Figure E -4, Comprehensive Trail System, and Figure E -5, Snowmobile and Horse Trails, should be revised if a significant number of changes have taken place. SECTION F SPECIAL USE FACILITIES: This section of the plan states that the development of most special use facilities will depend on impetus from strong interest groups, public requests, and Council decisions. This will probably not occur until the city is well on the way to providing the basic park facilities. The status of the park standards is a good indicator of the readiness of the City to support a major special use facility. The list of recommended special use facilities in the plan should be reviewed for familiarity and an addendum consisting of the collection of observed new or unusual activities should be made up yearly. The S.C.O.R.P. is reissued every five years and is a valuable tool in evaluating this section. SECTION G PUBLIC PRIVATE RECREATION: This section, particularly the policies, should be reviewed yearly. An addendum should be made up noting possible changes in policies, availability of recreation facilities, and programs under other jurisdictions. SECTION H PARK AND RECREATION STANDARDS: Review standards (chart H -2) yearly and note in an addendum any possible ideas on appropriateness of the standards for Eagan. Do not change the standards capriciously as it will affect the facility needs projections and distribution plan. UPDATING SYSTEM EAGAN PARK SYSTEM PLAN October 20, 1984 Page 4 However, if the standards become obviously meaningless, revision of several sections should be embarked upon simultaneously. SECTION I ACQUISITION DEVELOPMENT PLAN: Review this section yearly and document the current status in an addendum. Typically this section would be evaluated and rewritten in five years (halfway to the 1990 planning goal). Due to the bond issue in Eagan, and the speed at which development will be occurring, this section will probably need to be evaluated sooner and more frequently. In fact, development should be evaluated during this coming year and then every 2 years after that during this highly active period. SECTION J FUNDING AND IMPLEMENTATION: The evaluation of this section should be a yearly task. This will, at the minimum, include reviewing the policies, updating all charts to reflect the current .financial and economic situation, reviewing the park dedication fee. schedule, review development priorities, and status of funding sources. SECTION K MAINTENANCE Yet to be written. SECTION L INDIVIDUAL PARK PLANS: Copies of new individual park plans should be added to this section whenever they have been accepted by the Park and Recreation Commission. For economy reasons, printed copies can be made once every 1 or 2 years when reprinting other parts of the Plan.

At that time, the City Council asked that the Advisory Commission determine the feasibility of installing a security system at some time in the future and the probable cost for that system. I would like to proceed and present you with the following general information, a map of Patrick Eagan Park, the Commission's proposed plan and general cost estimate by phase, potential uses for the house and the letter from Mr. Geagan concerning the cost for a security sytem. GENERAL INFORMATION: Patrick Eagan Park is a 105 acre park which was acquired in several large parcels with the last acquisition some time in 1977 or 1978. It is a park which will undoubtedly be used for passive purposes such as hiking trails, cross country skiing, nature study, etc. rather than athletic purposes. The buildings within the park include the old McCarthy House, currently used by the Eagan Athletic Association for meetings and storage. Because it is a log cabin and one of Eagan's first houses, it is possible that a historical site could eventually be established for this structure. s Y T4e other building is known as the Kehne House after the original designer /owner. This house is currently occupied by renters. The house is designed so it could be converted into a public use facility. The data included herein is provided so the Mayor and City Council members may make a decision concerning the ultimate resolution and disposition of the Kehne House which will be in the best interest of the citizens of Eagan. PROPOSED PLAN: The Parks Recreation Commission proposes that the Kehne House be upgraded to a public facility for parks and recreation purposes needed within the next three to four years. While the structure has its limitations and problems, its structure is sound and stable, holding limitless potential for use. The renovation program can be accomplished is two phases. The first phase would upgrade portions of the building that would not require the renters to move out. The second phase would be done at a time when the building could not be occupied. Use as a public facility would begin at the end of the second phase of the renovation program. The first phase is recommended to be completed as quickly as possible to make the structure more energy efficient and therefore, reduce the cost to the City for heating. The second phase would be completed when the facility is required for use by the City Parks Recreation Department and programs. This is estimated to be three to four years away when the need for the facility is evident. The cost to replace this structure would be about twice that of the proposed renovation. We estimate the renovation cost to be about $30 to $33 a square foot. The work accomplished in the two phased approach to improvement would not be redundant. In other words, work completed in the first phase would not have to be changed in the next phase. A breakdown of the items which could be done in each of the phases, including the architect's cost, are shown on the next page. The funding source is recommended to come from the park site fund.

These potential uses are intended only to identify general areas, but uses beyond this are probable. A CENTER FOR ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES: 1. Environmental learning, i.e. classroom setting for review of outdoor experiences. 2. Crafts skills development, i.e. nature identification, natural food preparation, birdhouse construction, etc.. 3. Special interest groups meetings, i.e. senior citizens, clubs, sporting groups, social organizations or other. 4. Focal point for seasonal activity, i.e. Easter egg hunts, winter sledding parties, the Haunted House for Halloween tours. 5. Cultural arts crafts, i.e. seasonal craft programs, wood carving classes or other craft related activities. FOCAL POINT FOR NON— ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES: 1. Chalet /warming house for cross country skiers and snowshoers. 2. Check in point for hikers and bird watchers in summer programs. RESOURCE OPPORTUNITY WITH EDUCATIONAL, RECREATIONAL CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS The Parks Recreation Advisory Commission is convinced that a renovated house could provide for a host of unique and desired recreational opportunities for virtually every age range within the community. s y Chairman, A visory arks Recreation Commission RM /js CC: Tom Hedges, City Administrator Ken Vraa, Director of Parks Recreation P1 lice department JAY M.BERTHE ChM of FWW PATRICK J.

A motion detector would give you the greatest range without having to place detection devices on each window and door. I called Electro Watchman, who is our service contractor for the police department, and they gave me the following prices: 1. Installation of motion detectors approximately $1,500 to $2,000. 2. Module free. 3. Monthly maintenance charges on per -call basis. 4. Northwestern Bell private phone lines $14.10 per month. Northwestern Bell installation charges $350 plus time and materials. I think to be on the safe side you should consider budgeting approximately $2,300 for alarm installation at the Kehn residence. Keep in mind while looking at these figures that they are estimates and Electro Watchman did not look at the property. If you have any further questions, please contact me. Patrick J.

NcRrti FIGU E1 MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: ROGER MARTIN, CHAIRMAN ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION DATE: OCTOBER 24, 1984 RE: NATURAL AMENITIES GREEN SPACE The City of Eagan is fortunate to have many natural amenities such as lakes, woodlands, rolling hills and picturesque settings that make our community a very attractive place in which to live and work. This is part of the reason that we are the fastest growing community in the state. As members of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission(as I am sure members of the City Council are), we are concerned about the preservation of existing trees and the problems caused by erosion in several of our lakes. We have been concerned about developments which have provided very little "green space" in relationship to buildings and parking lot coverage. The Commission is also concerned about inadequate landscaping and screening measures with some developments. Several recent preliminary plats have focused our attention on this problem. This subject has been discussed with an increasing frequency at our Commission meetings and we have requested staff to provide us with some background information, as well as finding out what other communities in the metropolitan area were doing. We will be discussing this issue in more detail at our Commission meeting on November 1. Many of the developers and developments in Eagan have done an excellent job in developing a good landscape plan; for example, the recently completed buildings by Opus in the Eagandale industrial development. Others, however, have appeared to provide only the minimal amount of landscaping and screening. If the Mayor and members of the City Council share our concern and think it is appropriate, the Advisory Commission would like to meet and discuss this issue further. Perhaps the possibility of establishing an objective set of guidelines by which definite landscaping plans can be developed could be established. A joint meeting could serve as a mechanism for the Advisory Commission to receive direction from the City Council on this issue as well as other parks recreation related items. Chairman, Advisor Parks Recreation Commission RM /js CC: Tom Hedges, City Administrator Ken Vraa, Director of Parks Recreation MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: NOVEMBER 1, 1984 RE: ANNUAL REVIEW PARKS DEDICATION FEE BACKGROUND: It has been a policy of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission for the last four years to annually review the parks dedication fee formula for possible modification. This item is being presented to the Advisory Commission in adherence of that policy. RECENT HISTORY: Park dedication fees were increased in 1982 and again in 1984. In 1982 residential fees increased to $400 per single family unit, $332 per townhouse unit and $252 for apartment units. The approved cash dedication requirement was based on the formula in which the per acre cost of raw land was valued at $10,000. Previously the parks dedication formula was based on a $7,500 figure per acre. Effective on January 1, 1984, these fees were adjusted 5 This yielded a per acre cost of raw land valued at $10,500 per acre, single family units at $420, $348 per townhouse unit and $265 per apartment unit. OTHER COMMUNITIES: Recent telephone contact with several other communities regarding changes in cash dedication was made. In March 1984, Eden Prairie raised its single family cash dedication to $400 per unit and multiple family units to $305. Previously Eden Prairie was at $325 and $250, respectively. Those fees had not been increased for a period of approximately five years. Apple Valley changed its formula for calculating residential cash dedication in early 1983. At that time, they raised their dedication formula to $10,000 per acre. They do not anticipate, nor is there a proposal far, an increase of this base figure in 1985. The City of Plymouth last raised its park dedication fees in January of 1983 from $390 to $400 per single family unit. Department staff there are reviewing the possibilities of a $10 increase for 1985, but are uncertain that they will approach this increase until mid -1985. The City of Lakeville has not changed its fees for approximately four years. Currently, their fee structure provides for $300 per single family dwelling unit. There has been some recent discussion about increasing this fee, although no plans are under way at this time for any adjustments. LAND SALES: In the past, the Parks Commission has reviewed land sales to assist them in determining the "average" per acre cost and the resulting impact on dwelling units. Although the City does not have actual sales figures, the Planning Department is aware of asking prices on several different parcels of land in the following zoning classifications: R4 land from $25,000 to $20,000 per acre. R3 in the $16,000 to $20,000 range. R2 in the $12,000 to $14,000 range. Again, the Commission is reminded that these are asking prices for land; actual sales price is affected by many variables including location, availability of trunk utility lines, topography, conditions of sales, etc.. For example, staff has been made aware that one 40 acre parcel currently zoned agricultural, but shown in the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan as probable R2, has recently been sold for $5,000 per acre. ADDITIONAL CONVENTS: Park dedication fees were increased in 1984 by approximately 5 Previous to this, the last time fees were increased was in 1982. Other communities appear to be holding to their most recent dedication unit charge which runs in the neighborhood of $400 per single family dwelling. Consequently, it appears that Eagan's cash dedication formula remains consistent and comparable with other communities who are experiencing comparable growth. CONNISSION ACTION The Advisory Commission is to again review the information presented, determining if a change in the dedication fee is warranted, and the amount of any change, if deemed necessary and desirable. 1� --1 Director of s Recreation Wis MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: OCTOBER 18, 1984 RE: BEER POLICY SOFTBALL BACKGROUND: Department staff has been "informally" approached and requested to review and determine whether the City's adult softball leagues /teams could establish a beer and food sales concession at the Northview Athletic Fields. Staff would like to paint out that this is still an informal inquiry and is not a direct request for the Softball Association to sell beer or establish a food concession. Staff has been directed by the Commission to compile information from other communities, as well as to review existing City ordinances to determine if a change in the existing ordinance, policies and rules and regulations appears to be warranted. With a park building proposed for Northview, the issue of concessions (food /beer) are considerations that need to be addressed. Policies such as who, when and under what circumstances, will provide staff with direction. OTHER COMMUNITIES: Staff has conducted an informal telephone survey of eight communities relative to their approach to beer sales. The communities and general policies are as follows: BLOOMINGTON A non profit organization may receive a special permit from the City Council to sell 3.2 beer. Permit fee is approximately $48. All tournaments are required to sanction ASA and for a $25 fee are covered under the City's ASA liability dram shop insurance. Beer has only been sold on weekends at tournaments; however, it is not restricted to weekends. Special events rarely happen midweek where a special permit has been requested. Beer is not allowed by ordinance during the regular season. However, the police do not enforce. Therefore, teams may drink beer in the parking lot, but not at the fields. RICHFIELD By ordinance, beer is not allowed at all. Each team posts a $100 drinking deposit. If any team member is cited, the deposit is forfeited; the player is expelled. A second incident and the team is gone. The ordinance is enforced by the police. There is a movement afloat by the 11 14th of July Association" to approach the City Council for temporary licensing for next year. As of now, no temporary license is available to any group or individual. (NOTE: THE COUNCIL HAS NOW VETOED THE JULY 1 4TH ASSOCIATION'S REQUEST). BROOKLYN CENTER Only civic groups may apply for a beer permit, for tournaments only. 3.2 only beer is not specified. Dram shop insurance is required. To date only the Jaycees and the Fire Department have applied for a permit. By ordinance, no beer is allowed in parks. During the season, any team caught drinking is out of the league. BROOKLYN PARK Temporary beer licenses for 3.2 beer are issued to civic groups only. To date, that is the Lions and Jaycees. They must provide dram shop insurance. The City negotiates for a percentage of the profits, usually 15 -20 but it has been as high as 40 The City uses that revenue for park improvements /operations. During the regular softball season, beer is allowed only in "community picnic areas." Softball complexes have picnic areas. Beer is not allowed in parking lots. A park patrol is used, primarily for public relations; but also to enforce where beer is used. Three part time people at $6 per hour constitute the park patrol. These individuals do have cadet or other liaison connection with the police department. Cast is $6,000 per year; the parks are patrolled from 5 -10 P.M. each day. FRIDLEY A "temporary" special permit for 3.2 beer may be issued to any group of Fridley residents for tournaments or special events. Proof of dram shop insurance is necessary. The City does not share in the profit. During the regular season, beer is now allowed. An eligibility /conduct deposit is required, as in Richfield. The police do assist in enforcement of the ordinance. LAKEVILLE Allows the sale of beer. The softball association, an independent group, takes out licenses for the dates of weekend tournaments. Only beer may be sold. Specification on only 3.2 is not made. The association also purchases the dram shop insurance. The City does not receive any direct revenue, however, the association does contribute towards improvements to the softball complex. During the regular season, beer is allowed in the parking lot, shelter, and in the stands at the fields. MAPLE GROVE By ordinance no beer or alcohol is allowed in the parks. The police enforce the ordinance much the same as "no dogs in parks." A special permit to sell 3.2 beer may be purchased only by non— profit organizations that have been incorporated for at least one calendar year Lions, Knights of Columbus, Jaycees, etc.. Dram shop insurance must be provided by the special permit holder. Only three permits have been issued in the last three years. For season play, softball teams are required to provide a $50 deposit which is forfeited if the team drinks in the park. The only time a team has forfeited the deposit has been when litter was left behind or when a noise complaint was received. In reality, despite the ordinance, teams do have one or two beers after a game in the parking lot. At the present time, no written policy exists to define when a team receives a warning prior to forfeiture of the drinking deposit. Judgment is subject to the severity of the behavior. PLYMOUTH Anyone, including non— residents, may apply for a special permit to sell 3.2 beer. Proof of insurance is required. Only two permits were issued in 19$4 to a softball team and to a legion post. During regular season play, by ordinance no beer is allowed. A $50 per team eligibility /conduct deposit is required. (It previously was $100 which seemed to be too high). Field attendants report on teams in violation. In addition, the police will ticket each player in the amount of $25 if the behavior is spotted by the police. A team may have a "hearing" on the field attendant's report. The usual excuses are, "we didn't know" or "we've changed managers." Generally, however, teams admit it and forfeit their $50. The team must then redeposit another $50! SUMMARY: 1. All cities contacted indicated general pleasure with their policies and feel there are no changes necessary to them at this time. 2. Communities that issue permits for beer limit them to civic or non— profit groups, except Fridley which simply says that the applicant must be a resident. 3. Communities generally limit the sale of beer to weekend tournaments or special events only. Beer sales during the week have generally not been approved. EXISTING CITY ORDINANCE: The attorney's office has been requested to review the regulations relating to beer sales in Eagan parks. Attached to this memorandum is a copy from the attorney's office relative to this question. In brief, the existing City ordinance prohibits liquor or beer in kegs, barrels or case lot quantities except where authorized by written permit from the City Council or Parks Recreation Director. The City does require temporary licenses for sale of alcoholic beverages. Under current state and local law, beer could be sold in Eagan parks, if licensed for sale. Such a license would require the granting of a temporary license of not more than four days duration. SUMMATION: From reviewing ether communities and their existing policies, it is obvious that there are a range of ordinances and policies regulating beer sales and beer consumption in parks. On the one end of the spectrum, several communities strictly prohibit the sale of beer in their parks, as well as the consumption of beer. Other communities allow beer sales, but only by special temporary licenses, and often restrict the issuance of licenses to residents or civic groups. In some instances, a percentage of the profits may go to the community, as in the case of Brooklyn Park, or as indirect donations for athletic field improvements, as in the case of Lakeville. THE EAGAN EXPERIENCE: The Department of Parks Recreation has seen an improvement in the behavior of softball players over the last several years as it relates to the consumption of beer at the softball fields. This has been brought about by various circumstances. Several years ago Sperry had some difficulties following softball league play, in which excessive beer drinking and littering was a factor. Sperry adapted a policy which prohibited beer entirely from its athletic complex. The adult softball leagues adapted a rule, within its league structure, which prohibited beer for players during the game. Further, the Department of Parks Recreation "clamped down" on beer drinking during and after softball play. Effective enforcement of the "no keg" and case lot beer limitations seemed to have had a positive impact and significantly reduced behavioral problems. At this time, the Department of Parks Recreation's staff is reasonably pleased with the behavior of the players relative to existing beer policies, although continued improvement is hoped for. Relative to food concession, the various City leagues have operated concessions two to three times per year at their play -offs or mid season tournaments. At these concessions, a tent is set up from which they sell hot dogs, pop, chips, coffee and various purchased food products. The proceeds, arranging from $300 to as much as $450, have gone to the league treasury. The leagues utilitize this funding for various purposes, one of which has been to supplement City improvements to Northview Athletic Fields. For example, the leagues have contributed to the purchase of permanent bases and paid a portion of the outfield fence project. As previously mentioned, City staff has been approached by the leagues concerning the future of concession sales at Northview Athletic Fields. With a proposed future park shelter building at Northview, the possibity of the inclusion of a concession area has heightened interest in this type of operation. ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION: A concession operation raises several policy questions. Previously concessions were operated by the league /teams themselves for the benefit of all teams. However, this could change and determination of "who" and "what priority" groups wanting to sell concessions should be considered. What policies should be adapted or guidelines developed regarding concession sales? What if a "for profit" enterprise wished to run the concessions? While staff believes that the concessions operation would probably only be held at such times as tournaments or special events (based on experiences of other communities), it would seem appropriate that the Advisory Commission discuss these policies because of the rising interest in concessions operations. This interest in concessions will increase as Northview improves and softball continues to grow. Beer sales concessions could become a major part of a concessions operation. This product has a higher profit margin and has often provided a considerable amount of revenue to sponsoring organizations. It can also be subject to abuse and can contribute to behavioral problems. (Tournament sponsors in other communities who have sold beer have often promoted beer sales by offering a "beer drinking" trophy to the team that consumes the most beers). What guidelines do we need to deal with this, if any? The Commission may feel that Eagan's policies should be more restrictive, or more lenient than other communities, and develop appropriate policies adopted to relate to the Commission's concerns. It would be appropriate for the Advisory Commission to review and identify the various issues relating to beer and food concessions. Before making any decision, a discussion with the City Council regarding their concerns would be suggested. Director PVFarks Recreation KV /js HA,UGE. SM=. EIRE K ELLER, P. A.

SIDE DAVID G. KE LLER Mr. Ken Vraa Director of Parks, CITY OF EAGAN 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 RE: Beer Sales in City Parks Dear Ken: Our office has been asked to review the rules and regulations relating to beer sales in Eagan parks. With the onset of lite'alcohol (LA) on the market, several questions have been raised as to what regulations the state has and what regulations a city may supplement these with. 1. To begin with, under state law, Minn. Stat. 6340.01 to §340.07 regulates non intoxicating liquors. These are defined as malt liquor containing not less than 1/2 of 1% alcohol by volume nor more than 3.2% alcohol by weight and is a fermented malt beverage. Minn. Stat. §340.07 and on regulates intoxicating liquors. These are defined to include any ethyl alcohol, distilled, fermented, spirituous, vinous and malt beverages containing in excess of 3.27 of alcohol by weight. 2. The state law sets limitations on both intoxicating and non intoxicating liquors. These include times and places of service, licensing requirements and control of sale to or by minors. See Minn. Stat. §340.02 and Minn. Stat. §340.11. 3. Both the selling and distributing of alcoholic beverages (intoxicating and non intoxicating) are subject to legislative regulation. Legislative power to regulate by the state has always been considered susceptible to local control by municipalities. 4. Eagan Ordinance Sec. 10.23 Subd. 2(a) regulates the bringing of wine, liquor or beer in kegs, barrels or case lot quantities except where authorized by written permit from the Council or Park Director. The City of Eagan also requires licenses for sale of alcoholic beverages (intoxicating and non- intoxi- cating.) S. Under current state and local law, beer could be sold in Eagan parks if licensed for sale. This would require the granting of a temporary liquor license. Section 5.32 provides for a temporary beer license of not more than four days duration. This license could be limited to sale of non intoxicating liquors. In addition, if the beer was brought in case lot, kegs or barrel quantities, then permission would need to be obtained by a written permit from the Council or Park Director. Mr. Ken Vraa September 11, 1984 Page 2. 6. Eagan currently has no specific regulations regarding beer sales in its parks. Other cities have set further regulations in their ordinances. The City of St. Louis Park allows no beer at all in its parks. Bloomington allows sales by firemen when a certain percentage of profits goes to the city. 7. This may be an area in which Eagan may want to revise its ordinances. Eagan could set further restrictions on sale of alcohol in its parks. However, the City may want to leave the ordinances as they stand and control the sale of beer in parks through limiting the granting of liquor licenses for sale of alcohol in parks. Whether Eagan should set further limitations in its ordi- nances is something that should be considered by the Eagan Parks Committee and the Eagan City Council. Please contact our office with any comments you may have regarding this issue. Very truly yours, HAUGE, SMITH, EIDE KELLER, P.A. Paul H. Hauge PHH:me City Attorney, City of Eagan cc: Jay Berthe Thomas L. Hedges MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: OCTOBER 29, 1984 RE: PARKS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM BACKGROUND: Staff has been asked to familiarize the Commission with the financial accounting of expenditures for parks development and the process to be used in the parks review process. Staff is proposing the following structure for Commission review and input. FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING: Utilizing existing financial controls established in the City, the City has already established a separate fund for the parks bond money. This fund is completely separated from the park site fund and general fund money for general City operations and department operations. Within the fund (437), there are 32 programs each relating to a specific park location. i.e. Ridgecliff 44575, Rahn 4552, etc.. There is one additional program number which is entitled "general The program numbers will allow us to charge to each park site those costs which are directly attributable to that park location. The general program number is to be used for work or expenditures that cannot be identified by a specific park, but is attributable to the cost associated with the parks development program. In addition to the fund and program number, there are 13 account codes. These account codes are used to better identify the type of expenditure. These codes are as follows: 4650 Administration 4651 Design Engineering (External) 4652 Engineering (Field Services) 4653 Grading 4654 Utilities 4655 Parking 4656 Building Structures 4657 Seeding 4658 Plant Material 4659 General Landscaping /Furnishing 4660 Play Equipment 4661 Athletic Furnishings 4662 Special Features /Furnishings 4663 Trail Again, an administrative account code is used for those expenditures which are general in nature and not directly attributable to one of the other account codes. For example, the landscape architect's time, when not chargeable to a park, would be charged to administration or perhaps the purchase of general suppply items used in the design process. For an example of this coding process, the recent expenditure of funds for the installation of play equipment at Ridgecliff Park will be used. When the purchase order was initiated, the order was identified by fund number #37, the program number for Ridgecliff Park #575, and the account code for play equipment which is #4660. Under the City's financial reporting system, staff will receive from the City's computer system a printout on each program (park), expenditures charged to that park by account code number, and total expenditures to date. This information can then be assembled for Commission review as needed or quarterly. COMMISSION REVIEW /FUNDING ALLOCATION: When the parks bond program was proposed, a working proposal was developed for the numerous neighborhood and community parks. The working proposal was refined several times and was based on some preliminary cost approximations as developed by the consulting parks planner. In the development of these cost allocations, two methods were used. The first method was a unit cost method. For example, when the number of lineal feet of a trail within a park could be measured, and the per foot cost known, a good allocation could be achieved. Unit pricing was used whenever possible, but there were a number of times in which both the number of units or the unit price, was not as precise as desired. In costs that were not identified by a unit and unit price, funds were either "lump sum" or a dollar allocation was made. Lump sums /dollar allocations were made in the cases of playground equipment, landscaping, signage, or where a unit dollar amount could not be easily identified. Each development item which could be identified was grouped into one of eight categories. These general categories were acquisition, site preparation, equipment, building shelters and accomodations, lighting and utilities, roads, trails and parking, miscellaneous landscaping, and engineering /contingency. In summary, funds have generally been allocated to a particular park which reflects the best cost allocating at the time for the degree of detail and specificity known. UPDATED ESTIMATING: During the next several months staff will be doing further detail /design on each specific park. When this design work is completed, and with the presentation to the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission, staff will prepare an "updated cost estimate" based on the detail design. Hopefully, these new cost estimates will come close to the former cost projections and the funding provided within the park development /bond fund. If not, the Commission may have to make the determination to eliminate or reduce portions of the parks project development or to provide supplemental funding from the park site fund or bond interest earnings to meet the cost estimates. After the design approvals and cost estimate approvals, staff will then proceed with development of specifications in bidding the project. Should there be significant changes between the bids and the updated estimate, staff will return the issue to the Advisory Commission for additional review and discussion. In order to keep the process streamlined, it is assumed that staff would not return any portion of the project to the Advisory Commission /City Council if the project stays within, or near, the update estimate. This would allow staff to proceed with the various purchases, whether by quote or bid, of the many items that will go into the development of the park. (NOTE: By State statutes, staff must advertise and receive sealed bids on dollar amounts over $15,000. Under this amount, quotations based on general specifications must be received. Amounts under $2,000 are items that are budgeted or identified within the project and can be purchased by purchase order.) INVESTMENT EARNINGTS: All monies, i.e. bond, park site fund, received are invested in Certificates of Deposit along with other City funds by the City's Finance Director. Interest earnings are credited to the appropriate funds on an annual basis, based on monthly fund account average. This is done at the time of the closing of the books on the 31st of December. Quarterly estimates could be provided if the Commission feels it necessary. COMMISSION REVIEW: Staff will provide additional information to further clarify the accounting procedures and process for parks review. Staff would be happy to make revisions as appropriate. Direc or of Parks Recreation KV /js STAFF RECOMMENDATION: While a trail could be developed around the lake assuming all dedications are received it will be difficult and costly. Any park development of the property (Lemay) would probably duplicate that which is proposed to the south, benefiting only the apartment residents. These residents will benefit from the development as is now proposed. Therefore, staff is recommending Alternative #1. Director of Parks Recreation KV /js MEMO TO: AbVI t? PARIM RMCREAT140 COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: OCTOBER 11, 1984 RE: SPECIAL MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS REC COMM OCTOBER 11, 1984 LEMAY FIRST ADDITION PURPOSE: The purpose of this special meeting is to make an on -site visit and inspection of the site being proposed for the Lemay First Addition and to determine whether the shoreline of Lemay Lake within this proposed plat is useable and suitable for possible park purposes. SYSTEMS PLAN REVIEW: Attached to this memorandum are the pages from the Systems Plan Book referencing Donnywood Park and the possible inclusion of the area adjacent to Donnywood, including this parcel for parks purposes. ALTERNATIVES DISCUSSION: The Commission has basically two alternatives, or a combination of them, for review and decision. Alternative #1 is to accept a cash dedication of approximately $76,000. The Commission could also ask for a scenic and /or trail easement in order to preserve the shoreline from development and overuse as a result of the multiple family development with this plat. This alternative would preserve the shoreline for scenic purposes, but would not provide for any potential development for parks purposes. Alternative #2 is to accept a parkland dedication. This would amount to 1.7 acres. However, because the dedication would involve water, dedication would be larger than 1.7 acres. This approach would assure the City absolute control and provide for protection of the site. However, utilization of the site is premised on the City's ability to acquire additional property to the south and east. This is currently zoned commercial. Until such time as this dedication is received (and if it can be obtained), any land received with this preliminary plat would be "land locked The only access for development and maintenance would have to be through private property. ATTENTION A brief "ground breaking ceremony" for Rahn Park is scheduled for 5:30 P.M. on Thursday, October 4th. Members of the Council and Commission are asked to meet near the northwest corner (Shale Lane /Nicols Road) for the photos. donnywood SIZE AND DEVELOPMENT: 4.9 total acres; 2.5 useable acres; no development. background EXISTING CONDITIONS: Mostly pond and lake; east side solid shoreline on LeMay Lake, steep access off of Jurdy Road, minimal street frontage; West side narrow, paved access path to steep, eroded, bank; Old stone structure located 100 feet east of park boundary.
