MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: JULY 31, 1984 RE: AUGUST 2 COMMISSION TOUR REGULAR MEETING Preceding the regular meeting of the Advisory Commission, the Commission will tour several parks in adjacent communities. This tour will commence at 5:30 P.M., leaving from the Eagan Municipal Center. Commission will return at ap- proximately 8 o'clock to discuss its regular agenda items. There are five development proposals to be reviewed by the Commission, the first of which is "Crossroads of Eagan This development is part of the Pilot Knob Heights Planned Unit Development. This P.U.D. has formerly committed a land dedication (O'Leary Park), and therefore, its dedication requirements have been fulfilled. The second item is for Amoco Oil to develop a service station in the Winkler /Jackson P.U.D.. This P.U.D. has formerly committed a land dedication based on its residential development. Therefore, it would be appropriate that a cash dedication, consistent with the commercial and industrial policies of the City, be a part of the plat approval. Item #3 is for the development of a parcel of land at the intersection of Cliff and Nicols Road, Flour Bin International. This neighborhood business district should be subject to the commercial and industrial cash dedication consistent with City policy. The fourth developed proposal is the Windtree Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Additions as a replat. Members will recall that under the second and third additions replat, the Commission required a relocation of an entrance point into the previously dedicated Windtree Park. This replat shows the new loca- tion of this park entrance and, therefore, should be recommended for accept- ance. This development has previously provided its parkland dedication, other than the access point to the park, and therefore, its dedication requirements have been fulfilled. The final item under "Development Proposals" is the preliminary plat for Thom- as Lake Place. Commission members will recall that they had the opportunity to review this proposal informally at its June meeting with the development now proceeding with a formal application. The developer is requesting a change in the parkland boundaries from that which was previously identified in the Blackhawk P.U.D.. This P.U.D. Agreement has indicated a parkland dedication of approximately 21.58 acres. The proposed parkland dedication under this preliminary plat has been calculated at approximately 17.8 acres. However, there appears to be some inconsistency with the "numbers" which is now being checked. In any case, shortages in the parkland dedication should be made up within the Blackhawk Park P.U.D., specifically the Blackhawk Park location. In review of the newly proposed park property lines, staff will be proposing some modification. This modification would intend to capture more of the peninsula which protrudes into Thomas Lake and an extension of the east prop- erty line due north as a matter of housecleaning. Commission will have to make a final determination as to its recommendation regarding the property line change. The other item before the Commission relative to this is a location of the tennis courts. Currently the tennis courts are depicted immediately south of the parking lot building to be. The developer has proposed a desire and willingness to relocate these tennis courts to a subsequent location which would be a benefit to the tenants of the apartment units and to the public as well. Staff will be reviewing this with the developer to determine if an alternate location is suitable. The first item under "Old Business" is the Blackhawk Oaks /Blackhawk Lake Ad- dition. Enclosed in the packet is a letter from Mr. Stalland dated July 26, 1984. The synopsis of the letter is that Mr. Stalland has been able to obtain an access across Mr. Berry's property to the north and west of the two par- cels. This access means that it may not be necessary for a private drive to come across the City parkland. As of the writing of this memorandum, the department has not received the report from the City's Park Planning Consultant relative to the study being performed. The report is anticipated to be completed prior to the meeting of the Commission on Thursday evening and will be made available to the Commission at the earliest opportunity. Please review the packet carefully as it may be included for your review should it arrive in a timely manner. There are no items under "New Business" at this time. The parks bond referendum will include an update on progress being made rela- tive to the grading plans for the four designated parks. This work is pro- ceeding quite slowly at this time, but it is hoped that the project, or at least a portion of the project, can still be bid this fall. Staff will be approaching the City Council at its first meeting in August for approval to advertise for bids for grading in order to meet legal requirements for notifi- cation in anticipation of a completed set of drawings within the next two to three weeks. Members should also be aware that the City has hired Mr. Steve Sullivan as the Landscape Architect /Planner for the parks bond referendum. Mr. Sullivan will begin with the City on Monday, August 6. He is currently employed with the City of Eden Prairie where he has worked with the community in parks planning and parks development. Under "Other Business and Reports the Director of Parks and Recreation will provide a "budget in brief" which capsulizes the requested 1985 department's budget. While the department's budget has a long reviewal process before adoption by the Council, staff will provide an overview of the areas of emphasis and concern. The second item under "Other Busines and Reports" is a setting of the meeting date to review the information as provided by Mr. Roger Sjobeck on the Kehne House. This report is essentially completed and ready for review. Staff is suggesting a meeting of the subcommittee for Thursday, August 9. The third item is a brief update on the discussions with School District 196 relative to the Parks and Recreation's utilization of school facilities for recreational programs. A meeting was held on Monday, July 30, and a directors meeting is scheduled for the 31st for further review. Staff will provide an update on these two meetings to the Commission. As always, if you are unable to attend the Commission meeting because of con flicts, staff would ask that you contact the department. Director of Parks Recreation KV /js MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION EAGAN, MINNESOTA JULY 12, 1984 SUBJECT TO APPROVAL A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission was called to order at 7:10 P.M. by Chairman Martin. Members present were Martin, Alt, Masin, Kubik, Thurston, Jackson, Bertz and Ketcham. Members Carroll and Fedde had notified staff they would be unable to attend. Also present were the Director of Parks and Recreation, Ken Vraa; Administrative Assistant, Liz Witt; Planning Assistant, Greg Ingraham; and Parks and Recreation Intern, Jim Sturm. AGENDA Items were added to New Business and Other Business. On a motion by Bertz, seconded by Ketcham, the agenda was approved as amended. A June 7, 1984: June 14, 1984: B. Sunset 6th Addition MINUTES Several corrections were noted for the June 7 minutes. Carolyn Thurston's name was to be added to members present. The spelling of Bill Maurer is to be corrected wherever it appeared in the minutes. On page 6 the reference should be to June 14, not July 14. Commission member Thurston moved, Bertz seconded the minutes be approved as corrected. One correction was noted on the next to last page. Instead of "I would approve the minutes should state "The Commission approved" the recommendation. Commission member Alt moved, Ketcham seconded, that the minutes of the special meeting of June 14, 1984 be approved as corrected. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS A. Eugene Haeg Planning Assistant, Greg Ingraham, briefly explained Mr. Haeg's proposal to rezone and develop five acres into eight single family lots. Access to the site would be off Hackmore for four lots and off Dodd Road for four lots. Schwanz Lake would be the closest park facility. There are no trails proposed. Chairman Martin moved, Bertz seconded, to accept a cash dedication. All voted "aye 1 Planning Assistant, Ingraham, noted that Sunset 6th Addition consists of 9.6 acres for 29 single family units. He said the Planning Commission continued this proposal for further review as they were concerned with lot size and how the project fits in with nearby developments. Park dedication has been fulfilled through Lexington South Planned Development. Parks Director, Vraa, said this is primarily an informational item. When asked about a trail, Director Vraa said if there is a trail it would go in as part of work on County Road 30 when and if it is upgraded. Commission member Bertz commented that the maintenance of the right —of —way is not all that good and often the City gets the blame. She would like the state and county road departments to do a better job of roadway mowing and maintenance. No action was necessary on this item. C. Blackhawk Oaks Planning Assistant, Ingraham, and Peter Stalland, representing the developer, reviewed the two alternate plans which had been presented to the Planning Commission at their June meeting. Alternate A shows the road cutting across the corner of Blackhawk Park and Alternate B places the road to the west and north of the park corner boundaries and not encroaching on park land. The Planning Commission approved Alternate B. Mr. Stalland said the roadway in Alternate B would be 12' wide with a very steep grade. He said he still preferred the exchange of land with the park which would give the developers a wider, less steep, road. Commission member Thurston said she is very concerned with the loss of vegetation in Plan A because it is obvious that deep cuts will have to be made in order to get the road in. She did not feel the park was getting any benefit from the plans as proposed. Alternate B would prohibit any park access to the northern part of the park. She also noted the City has no guarantee of access to the park from the south so provisions must be considered for access wherever they can be made. Parks and Recreation Director, Vraa, reviewed the list of probable alternatives and areas of decision making. He that Alternate B will have less impact on the park, but that retaining walls will be put in in either case. He thought that Blackhawk Park will need an internal looped parkway and if one is built, then access from the north may be necessary. He stated further that if Alternate A is selected, the City should consider an access in the north area because there would be substantial disruption to the park and the City may as well get benefit from the construction. He concluded by saying if Alternate B is selected, the City could continue to use the Riverton access. Peter Stalland said his preference is to exchange a corner of the park for Outlot D along the northerly park border. He agreed there would be vegetation removed as a result of the cut and fill process. He stated there would be a retaining wall along Outlot D. The developers will replant and carry on an erosion prevention program. Mr. Stalland said that at a neighborhood meeting most of those in attendance opposed park access through the development. Chairman Martin said residents may have opposed the access to the park, particularly if other options had not been explained. 2 Member Alt asked if the parking area alternative at the north access had been evaluated. There was a discussion by the Commission and Mr. Stalland regarding the two alternatives. Mr. Martin stated he appreciated Mr. Stalland's desire to move ahead, but that the Commission was charged with a responsibility too. He failed to see an attempt to explore more than the two alternatives that had been presented. Mr. Martin went on to say that if forced to make a recommendation at the time, he would prefer to have an outlot which could provide access to the north area. He feels very strongly that provisions must be made for access and that a professional study of the area would be helpful. Parks Recreation Director, Vraa, said that Consultant Erkkila had commented it could be possible to spend up to $1,000 to properly study the Blackhawk Park access. Commission member Kubik observed that while the price is high, we should have a professional study of the area. Commission member Jackson said such a study could benefit both the developers and the City Parks System. Chairman Martin suggested some thought be given to acceptance of an outlot which would extend Riverton into the park. He said the City stands to receive 1.9 acres of park land and it should be reserved for access to Blackhawk Park. Chairman Martin moved, Kubik seconded that: 1. Blackhawk Park is one of the most valuable and nicest parks in Eagan's system and, as such, great care must be taken in decision making. 2. Staff and the Planning Consultant should review alternative access and a possible internal road system. 3. The Commission recognizes the developer has steep contours to contend with which cause him hardship, but that the City must not lose the option of a northerly access withouta thorough review.. 4. The Commission prefers to have an easement which could provide access and which would be returned if not utilized. 5. The Commission will review prior to the August 7 City Council meeting. The motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS A. McCarthy House Scott Nelson, President of the Eagan Athletic Association, distributed a letter outlining the E.A.A.'s assessment of the McCarthy House in Patrick Eagan Park as a potential E.A.A. headquarters. He said the basic structure of the original house is sound, but that it is in generally bad shape. He noted the amount of space in Cedarvale is decreasing steadily and the E.A.A. must make a move. He feels the McCarthy House is a very favorable site where many diverse recreational programs could be situated. The E.A.A. will make electrical, heating, plumbing and building repairs. They 3 are asking. the City to pay the monthly electric bill and to provide some signage. The E.A.A. would allow other groups to use the building. Chairman Martin colnmentetl that the E.A.A. should strive to maintain the integrity of the house as the City may opt to take over as a historic site at some future time. He suggested the E.A.A. lease the house from the City, thus absolving the City of federal requirements for public facilities. Commission member Thurston said the E.A.A. must make the house safe and secure. Mr. Nelson said the windows would be shuttered and steel doors put in place. He thought the out —of— pocket expense would be approximately $2,000 with all labor to be donated. Chairman Martin wanted to get a reading on the amount of electrical use anticipated. He suggested a cap be placed on the amount to be paid by the City. Commission member Kubik thought the City should pay the electrical costs for a year and then review for a possible cap. Commission member Bertz commented it was better to have the building in use and the E.A.A. would be good tenants. Chairman Martin moved, Thurston seconded, the following recommendations: The City lease the building to the E.A.A. and pay the monthly electrical bills which will be reviewed at the end of a year's time. The City attorney should respond to all insurance questions. Mrs. McCarthy should be notified of the plan. The motion carried unanimously. B. Winkler- Jackson Concept Plan Review Parks Recreation Intern, Jim Sturm, reviewed three concept plans for the Winkler site. He noted for the Commission there are two knolls and steep slopes on the 7.7 acre parcel. The developer has already agreed to grading so plans must be ready. Alternate 1 would have a small ball field, sliding hill, hard court, play equipment and an open shelter. A strong entry point with proper signage would enhance identification of the park. There would be dense vegetation along the street to keep the children in. Alternate II flip flops the ball field and shifts other amenities to make room for a small play area. Alternate III has the play equipment closer to the shelter and away from the road. In each case, the setting would be kept as natural as possible. The park would be a neighborhood facility and no parking spaces would be provided. Commission member Kubik said he'd like to see the City provide some "quiet places" in some of the parks rather than all "active Director Vraa said there should be a neighborhood meeting regarding this park as soon as sufficient numbers of residents actually live in the nearby areas. Members of the Commission liked the presentation and commended Jim for his efforts. Director Vraa was asked to write a letter of appreciation on the Commission's behalf. C. Metro Parks Open Space Parks and Recreation Director Vraa said there will be metro area information meetings to discuss park and open space development guidelines and policies. Area meetings are July 26 at Burnsville City Hall and August 8 at Blooming City Hall. Director Vraa said Hennepin County carries a great deal of clout and legislation tends to reflect that influence. Further discussion led to the conclusion that Eagan attendees will stress equity in the distribution of monies. Park Director Vraa and Commission members who can, will be at the July 26 meeting. Their observations will be shared at the regular Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on August 2. A letter will then be drafted for reading at the August 8 meeting. A. Hiring Landscape Architect Director Vraa said he had received 23 applications and was in the process of completing seven screening interviews. On Tuesday, July 17, final interviews will be conducted. Commission member Kubik will sit in on the interviews if his work schedule permits. B. Project Status Director Vraa said that the City's Engineering consulting firm has been hired to do base maping of three park sites. The Landscape Architect will be doing more of the decision making as soon as he /she is on board. The intent is to bring other projects up to the "Rahn Park status" and then proceed with a grading and seeding contract. Director Vraa said a second landscape architect will probably be needed later in the year to work on the project. He noted these positions are not being advertised as permanent, but of 3 or years duration. Member Kubik questioned the status of the Commission's recommendation for additional recreation and administrative staffing. It was indicated a request would be made in the 1985 budget. C. Processing And Design Standards Director Vraa asked the Commission to be thinking about its role and staff's role in management of the project. Project management will be many faceted and time consuming. Design standards will have to be set. Some standards will be very diverse to accomodate the individual parks. A. Park Maintenance PARK BONDS OTHER BUSINESS Director Vraa said maintenance is somewhat behind schedule, but the staff is now getting to some enhancement projects rather than just maintenance. He stated the department had mowed a record number of acres in May and June. Over 400 ball field drags were also performed. B. River Hills Park The River Hills Park east resident contributed $1,500 towards playground equipment for River Hills Park. Director Vraa helped select appropriate equipment and the order is being processed. 5 C. Kehne House Architect Roger Sjobeck is finalizing his report on the Kehne House which can be discussed at a special meeting or at the August meeting. D. District 196 School Usage Parks Director Vraa said he has been running into the problem of not being able to schedule activities in District 196 schools located outside the community. District 196 personnel told the park directors of Rosemount, Apple Valley and Eagan to get together and come up with a plan. The directors requested that the schools work out a schedule to free up space on a more equitable basis. Director Vraa has not received a response to this request. E. Erosion Control Manual A summary of the manual was included in the packet. Parks Director Vraa said that the Public Works Director, Tom Colbert, would be available to discuss erosion control with the Parks Commission. He will try to schedule Director Colbert at the September meeting. F. Heine Strasse Bicycle Trail Director Vraa said he has received complaints from a resident who does not like the bicycle trail, feels it is unsafe and may sue the City. Director Vraa asked Commission members to look at and /or use the trail some time soon and theasituation will be discussed again. OTHER BUSINESS For the regular August 2 meeting, the Commission will meet at 5:30 and tour nearby parks with the meeting to be convened at 8:30. A bag lunch will be provided. Director Vraa will try to have an equipment salesman at each park to answer questions about his or her particular equipment. Commission member Kubik moved, Masin seconded, to adjourn the meeting. Time of adjournment was 10:55. Dated: ADJOURNMENT Advisory Parks Recreation Secretary CITY OF EAGAF SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat Crossroads of Eagan APPLICANT: Crossroads Partnership (Dan Gustafson) LOCATION: Lot 1, Block 2 and Outlot E of Pilot Knob Heights 1st Addition. EXISTING ZONING: R -3 (Townhouse District) under Pilot Knob Heights PD DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: July 24, 1984 DATE OF REPORT: July 17, 1984 REPORTED BY: Greg H. Ingraham, Assistant Planner APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted request- ing preliminary plat approval for Crossroads of Eagan consisting of 5.3 acres and containing 32 townhouse units. The proposal is located at the southeast corner of Denmark and Duckwood. ZONING AND LAND USE: As part of the Pilot Knob Heights Planned Development this Parcel is designated for 64 apartment units. The Comprehensive. Guide Plan designates this Parcel as R -III with a density range of 6 -12 units per acre. This proposal carries ,a gross density of 6 units per acre. The surrounding land uses are single family homes to the east, townhomes to the south and west and a vacant R -4 zone to the north. COMMENTS: The applicant is proposing to construct 32 -1800 square foot town home units in 8 blocks of 4 units each. Each unit would have a two car garage accessed by a private drive. Ten of the units would have access'from four curb cuts in Denmark and Duckwood. The other 22 units access come off a proposed cul de sac south from Duckwood Drive. City Code specifies a minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet per unit in an R -3 zone. This proposal has 7,215 square feet per unit and the unit locations meet all other setback requirements. The west portion of the site is fairly level while the east half contains a large knoll 20 feet higher than the remainder of the site. A stand of Oak Trees occurs near the east property line on top of the Knoll area. If approved the preliminary plat shall be subject to the following conditions: Preliminary Plat Crossroads of Eagan Page 2 1.) A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted for review and approval prior to construction and an adequate bond shall be required and not released until 1 year after landscaping has been completed. 2.) A development agreement shall be completed and signed prior to construction. 3.) There shall be a Homeowner's Association established which would control the maintenance of the private drives. 4.) A retaining wall shall be constructed to mitigate the grade changes around the existing Oak Trees. 5.) All other City Code requirements shall be adhered to. .1 3EN1eR fnc 7.ic.NDO HTS.

HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER DATE: JULY 17, 1984 SUBJECT: CROSSROADS OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the following comments regarding this proposed development for consideration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council. GRADING /DRAINAGE The existing topography over this parcel consists of relatively flat terrain over the westerly half of this development with the elevation increasing over 20 feet over the easterly half of this proposed development. This elevation change results from a small knoll located over this area which continues into the St. Francis Wood Addition. Also located on top of this knoll, covering the eastern half of Lot 4 and the northeast corner of Lot 5, is a cluster of trees. The majority of the grading over this proposed development will be over the easterly half due to the previously described topogra- phy. The proposed grading plan indicates cutting approximately 18 feet off of the above described knoll. Subsequently, this will result in the removal of approximately 30 to 40% of the tree cluster as previously referenced. Existing drainage over this proposed development is generally to the west in the direction of Denmark Avenue. The proposed grading plan would not alter that significantly. Storm sewer to accomodate this drainage has previously been constructed within Denmark Avenue and Duckwood Drive. Storm runoff collected within these streets -is transported through Fish Lake and Blackhawk Lake to the Minnesota River. Consequently, no trunk storm sewer improvements will be required due to this proposed development. UTILITIES Utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist within the proximity of this proposed development to provide service to it. As can be seen from Figure 1, a 6" water main service is stubbed to the vicinity of the proposed cul -de -sac. Similarly, an 8" sanitary sewer stub has been provided to the proposed cul -de -sac off of Duckwood Drive. The three units abutting Denmark Avenue can be serviced utilizing existing water and sewer services which have previously been constructed to the east right -of -way line of Denmark Avenue. Staff feels this proposed development makes excellent use of existing water and sewer stubs to provide sewer and water service ENGINEERING MEMO TO APC JULY 17, 1984 PAGE 2 within this development. Subsequently, no cuttings into existing roadways will be required. STREETS Existing streets adjacent to this proposed development include Denmark Avenue and Duckwood Drive. Both of these streets are classified as collector streets and are constructed to their ultimate cross section, that being 44 feet wide with concrete curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing. An access has been incorporated for this proposed development by means of two curb cuts along Denmark Avenue and a driveway approach at Duckwood Drive. Internal access for Lots 1 through 18 are being proposed by way of a short cul -de -sac off of Duckwood Drive. This cul -de -sac appears to be located at the same location of the existing street opening on Duckwood Drive. Subsequently, no curbing or bituminous pavement should have to be removed to provide for this street connection. The remaining accesses proposed by this development are subject to controversy, in staff's opinion, due to the potential signaliza- tion of the Denmark Avenue and Duckwood Drive intersections resulting from the land to the northwest being developed as community shopping center. A combined access to Lots 19 through 22 is proposed to be provided approximately 160 feet east of the east right -of -way line of Denmark Avenue. Subsequently, this would provide for stacking of eight cars before entrance onto Duckwood Drive to the west would be prohibited. This should not cause any significant problem other than perhaps being a nuisance to the future residents attempting to gain access to the west bound lane of Duckwood Drive. An access to the three buildings adjacent Denmark Avenue are proposed to be combined at three points along Denmark Avenue. The first point being 110 feet south of the south right -of -way line of Duckwood Drive, the second being 215 feet south, and the third being approximately at the center line of Crestridge Lane. Staff's concerns regarding these access locations include the north driveway limits the stacking distance along Denmark Avenue to five cars before turning movements from this driveway are impaired. Also, the two northerly driveway entrances provide two additional conflict points for traffic along Denmark Avenue from vehicles attempting to gain access to Denmark Avenue from these driveways. However, since the grades of these driveways are relatively flat, vehicles will not have to gain access to Denmark Avenue by backing onto it, site distance is good, and traffic movements resulting from these driveways will be relatively minor, staff feels these driveway locations as proposed, while not ideal, will suffice in lieu of the existing situation. ENGINEERING MEMO TO APC JULY 17, 1984 PAGE 3 The proposed driveways will require new curb cuts along Denmark Avenue. Subsequently, it should be the developer's responsibility to install these curb cuts and remove the two existing cuts and replace those with concrete curb and gutter. RIGHT OF WAY /EASEMENTS Adequate right -of -way for Denmark Avenue has previously been dedicated. Right -of -way for Duckwood Drive currently exists as a highway easement deed. Subsequently, this development shall be responsible to dedicate a 40 foot half right -of -way for Duckwood Drive with the final plat. Also, the right -of -way for the public cul -de -sac street shall be dedicated with the final plat. Staff would suggest the developer dedicate the minimum right -of -way of 50 feet with a 55 foot radius for the cul -de -sac. As a result, the buildings on Lot 1 through 4 could be shifted westerly five feet which would help in preserving a few more of the trees over Lot 4. A 10 foot utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to all public right -of -way. A five foot drainage and utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to all interior and exterior lot lines with the exception of the common lot lines through the quad units. ASSESSMENTS All trunk area related assessments have been levied for water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer at the proper rates. However, the street assessment levied for Duckwood Drive and Denmark Avenue were levied at the residential equivalent rate under Project 269. Now that the area is being proposed for a multi family use, it is appropriate for this parcel to be accessed for the full assessment for the adjacent street construction. This increase in use will be reflected in a $20 per front foot increase in the street assessment from the residen- tial equivalent to the multi- family rate. Using this rate and applying it to the appropriate frontages, as assessed under Project 269, yields the following calculation: Street Assessment (740.58FF 284.92FF.) x $20 per front foot $20,510.00 Along with the above street assessment, this development shall be responsible for the cost of all internal improvements. I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail with the Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting of July 24, 1984. Rerz Seib jJ itted, Richard M. Fief P.E. Assistant City Engineer RMH/jj Engineering Recommendations: Crossroads of Eagan 1. A detailed grading plan showing proposed contours at two foot intervals' and direction of drainage be submitted along with a detailed erosion control plan. 2. If installed privately, plans and specifications for public improvements shall be prepared by a registered engineer and submitted to the Engineering Department for approval. 3. All existing curb cuts not being utilized with future driveway entrance locations shall be removed and replaced with concrete curbing at the developer's expense. 4. A 40 foot half right -of -way be dedicated for Duckwood Drive along with required right -of -way for the public cul -de -sac street. 5. This development shall be responsible for the upgrading and the street assessment as referenced within this report. 6. All costs associated with public improvements of this proposed development shall be the sole responsibility of this develop- ment. 18 FISH LAKE PARK 1 l :s DUCKWOOD DRIVE 2 4" 15" U 3 JECT_PARCE TIMEERSHO,RL', 4 i II 1 �C FAR FIG. 2 -518 r &IIRK CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE WINKLER JACKSON PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICANT: AMOCO OIL COMPANY LOCATION: PART OF OUTLOT E, OAKCLIFF ADDITION SE CORNER OF SLATERS ROAD CLIFF EXISTING ZONING: LIMITED BUSINESS UNDER WINKLER JACKSON PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 24, 1984 DATE OF REPORT: JULY 17, 1984 REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting an amendment to the planned development to allow a service station as a permitted use located on the east side of Slaters Road and south of Cliff Road. COMMENTS As you may or may not recall, approximately one to two years ago there had been an application submitted by 'Amoco Oil For a pumper facility located at this same location. The_Planning Commission and City Council reviewed, this .particular request and denied the application due to the fact that it was not permitted as limited business use and secondly, a policy regarding gas and service was not .being met because the applicant was only proposing a pumper facility. The applicants then suggested that they would then add additional service or full- service as a'second phase of the development, however, the City Council also denied that request. Since the time the original application was submitted, the appli- cants have evaluated different sites in the City of Eagan and have determined that this is still the best location and site for a service station facility. The applicants are now proposing that a two -part facility be constructed on this parcel with. the gas facility being the most westerly and the four -bay, office area being easterly or backing up to Cedar Avenue. Therefore, the visual effects from Cliff Road will not show any of the garage doors or bays where the service is being conducted and also the cars being parked for service will potentially be screened with landscaping backing onto Cedar Avenue. The applicants are proposing to construct both facilities simultaneously and operate: as a full- service, gas facility. Again, the applicants have looked directly west of Slaters Road in the neighborhood business portion of the planned development, however, the neighborhood portion lends itself more to a strip center type of development with office and other uses versus trying to establish a parcel for a gas station within this parcel. The best use and location for a gas facility is in the parcel being requested by Amoco Oil. It sets up a separate parcel for this gas facility and has its own circulation for this gas facility so the location in regard to Cedar Avenue is far superior in regard to visibility and signage which the gas station needs in order to attract customers from the Cedar Avenue corridor, along with providing the residential and community needs in this general area. The applicants have again requested that the Planning Commission and Council review this particular site in regard to use for a full- service gas facility and would like to obtain an amendment to the Winkler Jackson PD to allow this as a use within this particular location. If the Planning Commission and Council decide this is a use that would be considered, the applicants are following up with a preliminary plat and would hope to plat the property and obtain a grading permit in 1984 and begin construc- tion in the spring of 1985. If anyone has any questions or would like additional information at this time, please feel free to contact me so this information can be provided.

Runkle APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted for preliminary plat consisting of approximately 3.2 acres and contain- ing four commercial lots located in the SE quadrant of Nicols Road and Cliff Road. COMMENTS In review of this parcel, there appears to be some history which should be looked at in regard to making a decision. on this particu- lar parcel. In researching the background in the minutes, staff has uncovered that the property directly east or the radio station property was zoned in 1964. In the review of this particular parcel, the exact date was not tracked. However, the first zoning map in which the zoning appears on this particular parcel is the 1971 map. In this particular zoning classification, the zoning of this parcel in 1971 was designated Cl Light Commercial District. The applicants had submitted a site plan for this particular parcel which was .dated June 9, 1969, showing a 28,000 sq. ft. shopping area and a service station located on the corner of Nicols Road and Cliff Road. Since the time this site plan had been drafted, there has been a zoning ordinance change from Ord. #6 to Ord. #52 to now Chapter 11 of the City Code. the biggest change came from the time that Ord. #6 was changed to Ord. #52. In this particular date of 1975, the City changed the zoning from two commercial classifications to six commercial classifications so now the connotation from the Cl which was the original commercial zoning of the property has been converted to NB, Neighborhood Business District. With the conversion from the two classifications to the six classifications, there have been more restrictions and conditions placed on the 1970 development versus when the property was originally zoned in the '71 time period. It is staff's understanding that the original property owner. who rezoned the property back in 1970 is still involved with this property and is now proposing to sell the property for development and is proposing to develop somewhat in. accordance with original plan dated in 1969. Therefore, how much does the City review what were the zoning and intentions when the plan was originally proposed in 1969 versus policies and standards that are now required in the current zoning ordinance. The application submitted by Flour Bin International is proposed to consist of a Flour Bin restaurant consisting of approximately 5,400 sq. ft., a Holiday Gas and convenience store consisting of approximately 3,937 sq. ft., and a Rapid Oil or service facility to accomodate the service portion requirement of a gas service facility, containing approximately 2,025 sq. ft. Last, a 6,075 sq. ft. daycare facility. These last two items will be the Second Phase development. In review of the uses within the neighborhood business district, there appear to be a couple of policy issues that will have to be reviewed and discussed in regard to uses in this neighborhood business district. The first issue is that the proposed daycare facility is not a designated use in a neighborhood business district. Therefore, a determina- tion will have to be made as to how a, daycare facility would fit in this zoning classification. The second issue regarding use is in regard to the Holiday Station store and in regard to the current Eagan policy regarding service and service bays with gas facilities. In review of this general policy, it is staff's understanding that the applicant is proposing to construct the Flour Bin restaurant and Holiday Station store as the first phase of development. Phase 2 would consist of the Rapid Oil or type of service facility to accomodate the gas station store in regard to the general policy as to how these two facilities would interre- late. However, they will not be constructed simultaneously. Therefore, the Commission will have to address the use and timing as to how these two facilities will interrelate to the general policy and concern of the City regarding gas and service facility. In review of the overall site plan, the proposed site coverage of the entire development consists of approximately 12.5% in building coverage and a total of 145% if you include the canopy over the gas pumps as lot coverage. Therefore, the total development is within the lot coverage allowed in the NB neighborhood business district. In review of the general parking, it appears that on a straight calculation, approximately 100 spaces would be required. The applicants are proposing 126, which is in excess of the overall parking for this_ development. It appears that the applicants have met all other setback and lot requirements for this particular development plan. In review of the access of this development proposal, the appli cants have proposed the major access to be off of old Cedar Avenue and Nicols Road, which would be the full movement to this particu- lar development. The applicants are proposing a right -in, right -out onto Cliff Road knowing that the median in Cliff Road would not allow for full turning movements. The applicants feel that this particular development has good circulation within the site and would allow for all movements to all three of the facili- ties. If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. A use determination shall be required to allow a daycare facility as a permitted use within this facility. 2. A time frame should be placed on when the Rapid Oil or service facility should be constructed in conjunction with the Holiday Service station. 3. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be submitted and approved for City staff. 4. A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted and an adequate landscape bond shall be required and not released until one year after the landscaping has been completed, 5. The access onto Cliff Road shall be limited to a maximum of right -in, right -out movement, 6. All signs shown on the preliminary plan if above 7ft. in height shall have a conditional use permit applied for for the pylon sign permit. 7. There shall be an architectural theme established for the entire center and made a part of the development agreement. 8. All other ordinance criteria shall be adhered to.

RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER DATE: JULY 19, 1984 SUBJECT: FLOUR BIN ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the following comments regarding this proposed development for consideration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council. GRADING /DRAINAGE A preliminary grading and drainage plan was not submitted with this application, subsequently, staff cannot comment on this item at this time. UTILITIES The existing utilities exist within the proximity of this proposed development to provide service to it as depicted in Figure 1. A 12 -inch, trunk sanitary sewer is in place along the east property line along with a 42 -inch trunk storm sewer line. The north boundary of this proposed plat is bordered by a 16 -inch, trunk water main on the north side of Cliff Road, while the west side of this property is bordered by a 16 -inch, trunk water main on the west side of Nicols Road. In addition, an 8 -inch sanitary sewer line is also in place along the west side of Nicols Road with a 27 -inch trunk storm sewer to the west of it. Staff would recommend that sanitary sewer service be taken off the 12 -inch trunk along the east side of this property. Water service may be obtained from the trunk line located within Nicols Road. Staff cannot comment on the internal storm sewer system which will be required since no grading plan was submitted. However, it would be anticipated that the trunk along the east side of this property be the ultimate discharge point for the internal storm sewer. If utilities are to be installed privately, then the plans and specifications shall be prepared by a registered engineer and submitted to the Engineering Department for approval. STREETS This proposed development is bordered on the north by Cliff Road and the west by Nicols Road. Both roadways are currently under the Dakota County Highway Department's jurisdiction. However, Nicols Road is to be eventually turned back to the City. The entrance onto Cliff Road will be a right -in and right -out only traffic movement due to the concrete median located within Cliff Road. Staff further recommends this access be no wider than RICHARD M. HEFTI /DALE C. RUNKLE APC JULY 19, 1984 PAGE TWO 32 feet (City street standards). This development is proposing two accesses along Nicols Road. Staff would recommend eliminating the 40 -foot access and providing traffic movement through the three parking spaces to the 30 -foot access on Nicols Road. This incidentally, should be a 32- foot -wide entrance. This development did not provide locations of driveways for Hardy's and Durnings which are located across Nicols Road. Subsequently, staff cannot comment upon the alignment of this proposed driveway with respect to the driveways on the west of Nicols Road to deter- mine if they are in alignment or not. With as many turning move- ments as will be required from this entrance on Nicols Road, staff feels it is very important that this access is in alignment with one of the entrance driveways on the west side of Nicols Road. Staff would recommend concrete islands at the locations as shown in Figure II to provide necessary separation from the parking lot and the driveway. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS Adequate right -of -way for Cliff Road has previously been obtained by MnDot. However, a 40 -foot, half right -of -way will be required to be dedicated for Nicols Road. Easements of sufficient width shall be required to be dedicated over all City utilities to be provided within this site. A 10 -foot utility easement will be required adjacent all publicly dedicated right -of -way. A 5 -foot drainage and utility easement will be required along all exterior lot lines. ASSESSMENTS In researching our assessment records, it was discovered this development will be responsible for the upgrading of its trunk area water assessment from the residential rate to the commercial rate over parcel 020 -04. In addition, this development should be responsible for trunk area storm sewer assessments over the entire development. Also, this development shall be responsible for lateral benefit from trunk water main along Nicols Road and lateral benefit from trunk sanitary sewer along the east side of this proposed development. The following table summarizes these assessments: 1 r RICHARD M. HEFTI /DALE C.

All costs for the installation of necessary sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer will be the sole responsibility of this development. I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail with the Advisory Planning Commission at the July 24, 1984, meeting. ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS: Flour Bin Addition 1 A detailed grading plan depicting existing and proposed two -foot contour intervals and proposed drainage patterns along with a detailed erosion control plan shall be submitted to the Engineering Department for approval. 2 If installed privately, plans and specifications for utility extensions or connections shall be prepared by a registered engineer and submitted to the Engineering Department for approval. 3. The maximum width for access onto Cliff Road and Nicols Road shall be 32 feet from face of curb to face of curb. 4. The 40 -foot proposed access onto Nicols Road from the Holiday Station shall not be allowed. This access shall be directed to the southly 30 -foot access point. 5. A 40 -foot half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Nicols Road. 6. Easements shall be dedicated as referenced within this engineer- ing report. 7. Concrete islands shall be required within the parking lot area as per staff's recommendations. 8. Sidewalks where parking abutts shall be a minimum of 10 feet wide. 9. This development shall be responsible for upgrading trunk area water assessments over parcel 020 -04, trunk area storm sewer over the entire parcel, lateral benefit from trunk water main on Nicols Road, and lateral benefit from trunk sanitary sewer along the east side of this development at the rates in effect at the time of final platting. 10. All additional costs of developing this proposed area shall be the responsibility of this development. CITY OF. EAGAN SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT WINDTREE 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th ADDITIONS APPLICANT: RICHARDSON PROPERTIES LOCATION: OUTLOT B OF WINDTREE 2ND ADDITION, SECTION 13 EXISTING ZONING: R -1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 2 1984 DATE OF REPORT: JULY 17, 1984 REPORTED BY: GREG H. INGRAHAM, ASSISTANT PLANNER APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting Preliminary Plat approval for Windtree, consisting of approximately 57.5 acres and containing 121 single family lots. The proposal is located east of Erlene Road and north of Wescott Road. LAND USE AND ZONING The parcel is currently zoned R -1 (Residential Single District) and has been platted as an outlot-of Windtree 2nd Addition. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this parcel as R -I with a den- sity of 0 3 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density of this project is 2.1 units per gross acre which is consistent with both the R -1 zoning and the Guide Plan designation. COMMENTS The proposed plat would contain 121,single family lots which are divided into 4 phases. The phases and additions seem to provide for an orderly progression of development. The lots meet or exceed the 12,000 square foot minimum size require- ment and the 85' lot width minimum in a R -1 District. The average lot size is approximately 16,600 square feet. The house placements meet all the setback requirements except for Lot 19, Block 1, which would require a 10' variance from the 50' setback along Wescott Road. The layout of this plat is essentially the same as what has been shown with the previous submittals. The changes occur with minor lot line variations and in Outlots A B which are proposed park dedications. The removal of a cul -de -sac in Outlot B has reduced the number of lots to 121 from the 125 previously shown. PRELIMINARY PLAT, WINDTREE 4th JULY 24, 1984 PAGE 2. If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1) The plat should be subject to the Park Commission's recommenda- tions and comments. 2) A 40' setback be allowed from the Wescott Road R.O.W. for Lot 19, Block 1. 3) No front setback or sideyard variances shall be allowed except for vegetation or topographic hardships. 7 7;•R.q• 114(1,1 S--"'SErr- -7- GB Ind. nd.

HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER DATE: JULY 18, 1984 SUBJECT: WINDTREE 4TH ADDITION, PRELIMINARY PLAT The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the following comments regarding this proposed development for consider- ation by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council. GRADING /DRAINAGE The existing topography over this proposed development consists of rolling, wooded terrain. Drainage over this proposed development is relatively poor as varified by several small depressions which dot this area. This proposed development is located within the northeastern corner of Major Drainage District J, as shown on Figure 1, and in general drains to Pond JP -18. Presently, this pond has no outlet nor do Pond JP -17, JP -16 or Pond JP -33 which will constitute the downstream flow pattern for the eventual outlet of Pond JP -18. A recent check of these ponds reveal no standing water as of this date. Subsequently, staff does not anticipate an immediate need for the construction of trunk storm sewer outlets for any of the above referenced ponds. However, these ponds should be monitored so that the outlet may be construct- ed at the appropriate time. The proposed grading will be largely limited to areas adjacent to the proposed streets. Because of the rolling topography, staff recommends that garage elevations at the set -back line shall not be any greater than 5 feet above the curb. In addition, a detailed grading plan depicting 2 foot proposed contours along with a detailed erosion control plan shall be required as a condition of final plat approval. UTILITIES Existing utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist within the vacinity of this proposed development to provide access to it, as shown by Figure 2. Sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer may easily be extended from the Windtree 3rd Addition to provide service to the proposed next phase of the Windtree Addition. It is staffs understanding this developer requests the City to install public improvements to this proposed development. Sub- sequently, it will be this developments responsibility to submit a petition for installation of public improvements. STREETS Access to this proposed development is by way of Windtree Drive which was previously constructed under the Windtree 2nd Addition. Astubstreet for the future Ridgwood Drive was also constructed Windtree 4th Addition July 18, 1984 Page 2 as a part of the Windtree 2nd Addition. Subsequently, the proposed Ridgewood Drive and Windtree Drive extensions will provide through traffic flow pattern for the next phase of this development. The traffic pattern for the overall development provides good access to all parts of this development. However, staff would recommend that the preliminary staging plan be modified so that the 6th Addition includes the connection of Windtree Drive to Wescott Road to provide better access to the remainder of the development until the 7th Addition is completed. RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS Staff concurs with the proposed 60' right -of -way to be dedicated for all public streets. A 10' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to all publicly dedicated right -of -way with a 5' drainage utility easement being dedicated adjacent to all lot lines. A minimum of a 15' utility easement will be required for storm sewer between lots 3 4 of Block 2 of the proposed Windtree 4th Addition. In addition, any required ponding easement required for Pond JP -18 across lots 1 -3 of Block 2 shall also be dedicated with this final plat. ASSESSMENTS Trunk area assessments have been levied over this proposed develop- ment for water and sanitary sewer.

Ingraham, Assistant Planner APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted request- ing preliminary plat approval of Thomas Lake Place, consisting of one 17.5 acre lot containing 238 apartments. The project is located east of Thomas Lake Road on the north shoreline of Thomas Lake. As part of the Blackhawk Park Planned Unit Development this Parcel is designated R -4 (Residential Multiple). The Comprehensive Guide Plan lists the Parcel as R -2 (Mixed Residential) with a density range of 3 -6 units per acre. City Code requires 16.7 acres of land for density purposes, this developments 17.5 acres would satisfy that acreage requirement. Thomas Lake Park lies to the east of this Parcel, the NSP highline easement forms the northern boundary with Thomas Lake to the south. Undeveloped R -3 designated land is across Thomas Lake Road to the west. The Parcel is heavily wooded with Aspen, Oaks and Elms and the topography is quite steep The applicant is proposing to construct two 119 unit apartment buildings on the site. The buildings would be three -story wood frame with brick facing. The unit mix proposed is 58 one 'bedroom units and 180 two bedroom units. The one bedroom units average 716 square feet, while the two bedroom units average 990 square feet. Six entrances provide access to the second and third floors. A 3225 square foot interior recreation space is located in the center of the first floor of each building. Underground garages accommodate 245 automobiles with 238 parking spaces being provided on grade. The applicant intends to tie the rental of each unit to a specific garage stall. As proposed the parking lot contains numerous opportunities for planting islands to soften the visual. impact of the lot. Preliminary Plat Thomas Lake Place Page 2 An outdoor recreation area with a swimming pool and tennis courts would be located between the two buildings. The site plan and building orientation seem to function well in relationship to the slopes, vegetation and views. The applicant is requesting some changes to the original P.U.D. park dedication area. The Park Department has been working with the applicant on these changes. If approved the preliminary plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1.) Park dedication shall be accomplished in accordance with the requirements established by the City Council after review by the Advisory Park Committee. 2.) A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted to and approved by the City staff prior to construction along with an adequate landscape bond which is not to be released until one year after completion of the landscaping. 3.) The preliminary plat shall provide for two lots with each building situated on a separate lot. 4.) A detailed outdoor lighting plan shall be submitted to and approved by the City staff prior to construction. 5.) Access doors to the underground garages shall provide adequate height for emergency vehicle clearance. 6.) Due to the environmentally sensitive nature of the site, grading and cutting of trees should be kept to a minimum outside of the parking areas and building pads. 7.) All other City Ordinances and requirements shall be adhered to. 8.) A specific underground parking space shall be required with the rental of an apartment unit.

O MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER DATE: JULY 17, 1984 SUBJECT: THOMAS LAKE APARTMENTS PRELIMINARY PLAT The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the following comments regarding this proposed development for consi- deration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council. TOPOGRAPHY /DRAINAGE /GRADING The existing topography over this proposed development is hilly and heavily wooded. The slopes on this proposed development are generally greater than 12 Except for the NW corner of this pro- posed development, the remaining area drains to the east and south into Thomas Lake, which has a positive gravity outlet to the north. However, the small depression located in the NW corner of this pro- posed development has no outlet. Subsequently, Staff would recom- mend that future grading eliminate as much runoff to this area as possible so as not to cause any future flooding of that depression. Since the slopes over this development are relatively steep and this development borders Thomas Lake, strict adherence to an approv- ed detailed erosion control plan should be required. In addition, a detailed grading plan depicting proposed two foot contours and showing proposed drainage patterns should also be a requirement of this development. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship of this development to the Major Drainage District B. UTILITIES Utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist along Thomas Lake Road to provide service to this proposed development. Sanitary sewer service is provided by way of a 27" trunk line located within Thomas Lake Road. Watermain consists of a 12" trunk line located within Thomas Lake Road. There are no stubs to provide service to this property, therefore, Thomas Lake will have to be opened so that the sewer and water connections can be made to provide service to this proposed development. Figure 2 illustrates the relationship of existing utilities to this proposed development. The proposed watermain service for this development should be a minimum of 8" in diameter. If utilities are to be installed pri- vately to this development, then plans and specifications shall be prepared by a Registered Engineer and submitted to the Engineer- ing Dept. for approval. ENGINEERING MEMO TO APC JULY 17, 1984 PAGE 2. STREETS Thomas Lake Road is an existing City community collector street which is adjacent the westerly boundary of this proposed development Access is being proposed from Thomas Lake Road using only one entrance. In lieu of the topography, this is probably the only way to provide access to this development. Subsequently, Staff would recommend a minimum of a 34' wide entrance roadway to provide extra width for passage of vehicles around any potential stalled vehicles. Internal roadways may be minimum of 24' wide. All road- ways will require concrete curbing and bituminous surfacing. Park- ing stalls shall be the City's standard 10' x 20' except where no vehicle overhang is required which in that case the parking stalls may be 10' x 18'. Staff recommends that the proposed roadway entrance be shifted so that the grades are kept to a minimum with respect to the existing topography. RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS A 40' half right-of-way should be dedicated for Thomas Lake Road. A minimum 15' easement should be dedicated overall City utilities not located within public right-of-way. A 10' drainage and utility easement should be dedicated adjacent all public right-of-way. Any additional easements which may be required in the course of construction shall be the responsibility of this development to dedicate. ASSESSMENTS Trunk area water assessments need to be levied with the final plat. In addition, trunk area storm sewer needs to be upgraded from the residential rate to the multiple family rate. In addition, parcel 011-51 which is immediately east of Thomas Lake Road will require trunk area storm sewer and trunk area watermain assessments. All assessments shall be determined at the rate in effect at the time of final platting. The following table summarizes the required assessments at the current rates.

TELEPHONE ONE CORPORATE CENTER FINANCIAL PLAZA (612) 835 -5577 7261 OHMS LANE MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55435 Mr. Dale Runkle City Planner City of Eagan 3795 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55121 July 26, 1984 Re: Blackhawk Oaks /Blackhawk Lake Additions, Eagan, Minnesota Dear Dale: As a result of obtaining an easement for roadway, drainage, and utility access from the Blackhawk Oaks property into our Blackhawk Lake property in regard to our project now before the City Council, I would request a change in our applica- tion. Presently we have four applications before you: preliminary plat and rezoning on the Oaks property and a preliminary plat and variance on the Lake property. We would request that the variance request be stricken at this time since the new easement allows us to grade our access private drive at 10% rather than the previously requested 12% grade (more fully discussed below). Now that the variance is not required, there should be no obstacle for approving all applications as they stand because every aspect of each application complies with the City ordinances. I have summarized how each application complies with your ordinances as follows: 1. In regard to the Oaks property, the property request for a rezoning from PD to R -1 is consistent with the present underlying zone of R -1 especially where the final plat for the PD has never been approved. Note that the comprehen- sive plan and the City zoning map designate this as R -1. 2. In regard to the Oaks property request for a preliminary plat for R -1, it is clear that the plat as submitted complies and even exceeds all R -1 lot sizes together with all street and utility minimum requirements. 3. In regard to the Lake property, now that we have submitted new plans fot an access which crosses Cyril T. Barry's property to the north and west of the two parcels, there is no need for a variance for a 12% grade since we now can grade the street at a 10% grade. A 10% grade is allowed pursuant to City Ordinance 13.304B(7). A copy of this ordinance is attached and marked Exhibit "A." 4. The private drive width and configuration conforms to City Ordinance 13.304B(5) which allows a private drive of 12 feet without curb and gutter to serve four or less units. A copy of this ordinance is attached and marked Exhibit "B." Since the Lake property will only have four lots and hence four units we clearly exceed this requirement by projecting a road of 20 feet wide with curb. Mr. Dale Runkle July 26, 1984 Page Two 5. Our plat request for septic in each of the one acre plus lots on the Lake property complies with City Ordinance 11.20(6)A, copy of which is hereto attached as Exhibit "C." We have and will comply with all county and state requirements for septic with regard to these lots. Mr. Rich Hefti of the City's Engineering staff has reviewed our plans and is in agreement with our conformance to all applicable regulations, as can be seen from the Planning Commission's minutes of July 26, 1984. 6. The preliminary plat for the Lake property complies with its presently zoned R -1 status as the one acre lots obviously exceed the minimum square footage for lots in an R -1 classification. Because we now have the access for Mr. Barry's property, the other two alterna- tives which we first proposed to the City can now be eliminated. This will eliminate the problem which the Park Committee perceived in our first alternative (exchanging property with the Park so that we would take approximately 2,000 square feet of the Park's property for access) where the access road through the Park would disturb the Park property. With our new access route through private land, all grading, fills, slopes and utilities will not touch any of the City Park land. If you have any questions regarding the above please do not hesitate to call me. PS/jj Enclosures cc Tom Hedges, City Administrator 1.--Kein/raa, Park Director Paul H. Hauge, Esq.
