ADJOURNMENT MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: JUNE 1, 1984 RE: COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 5 The regular Commission meeting scheduled for June 5 at 7:15 P.M. will be preceded by a tour of City parks and a visit to two of the locations addressed in the formal agenda beginning at 7:15. Members are asked to meet at City Hall for departure by 6:15 P.M. so we can proceed to the first site. The first site will be ChesMar Park off of Lexington Avenue, the proposed location for a service building for Northwestern Bell Telephone. At the conclusion of the tour, the regular meeting will convene with the approval of agenda and the minutes of May 3, 1984. The first item under "Development Proposals" concerns Pheasant Knoll which was deferred from the May meeting. A separate memo covering the revisions to this preliminary plat has been included within the packet. The second item is a preliminary plat received from Sienna Corporation for Pilot Point which consists of approxima- tely 8.8 acres and contains 20 single family lots. The Planner's Report and Engineering Report are included for your review. The third item under "Development Proposals" is the consideration for rezoning and preliminary plat of .68 acres to a roadside business by Alan Baerbel Draenckhahn. Again, a Planner's Report has been prepared and submitted within the packet. Staff is recommending that a commercial cash dedication requirement be placed upon this property. Item #4, on which a separate memorandum has been prepared, concerns the Blackhawk Oak /Blackhawk Lake Addition. Members may recall that they have previously reviewed the Blackhawk Oak Addition and still later a request for Mr. Peter Stalland for a joint access road to service his property. Mr. Stalland is now involved with the Blackhawk Oaks Project as well as his own parcel and is preparing a preliminary plat application for these two additions. The final item under "Development Proposals" is the informal review for Thomas Lake Apartments. Again, a separate memorandum has been prepared for Commission review. There are no items to be reviewed under "Old Business The first and only item under "New Business" is a lease request for Northwestern Bell Telephone Company for a portion of ChesMar Park. Again, a separate memorandum and letter of request on behalf of Northwestern Bell has been included in the packet. With the approval of the Parks Bond Referendum, there are a number of items with which the Advisory Commission will be continually involved. For this reason, Item #6 on the agenda refers to "parks bonds It is the intent of staff to continually place Item #6 on each agenda for those items relative to the implementation of the Parks Bond Referendum. The first item of business under this topic heading for June will be some information relative to the bond sale and other informational items. The second item to be discussed is the discussion of park project priority and the necessity for project coordination of the various task in each park area. The third and final item will include a discussion of the staffing and utilization of consulting services for design, engineering and other necessary and essential services. The Director of Parks and Recreation would like to have this discussion so framework of understanding and recognition of important issues, as well as the Commission's involvement, can be reached. From past experience with other parks development and redevelopment issues, it is important that a strategy and consensus on the course of action be determined at the very beginning to minimize the problems and conflicts while maximizing upon available resources. Therefore, I believe this discussion would be beneficial to the Commission as well as to the staff. Under "Other Business and Reports there are several items which need the Advisory Commission's attention. First is the resignation of member Douglas McNeely. Enclosed in the packet is a copy of the letter from Mr. McNeely tendering his resignation to the City. Staff has taken upon itself to send a letter of appreciation to Mr. McNeely for his services on behalf of the City and its parks system. The second item is an update on the upcoming Minnesota Symphony and Minnesota Zoo Concert scheduled for July 14, 1984. The City Council and Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission from this City, as well as other involved communities, will have some special seating arrangements and a brief social gathering before the performance. The third item is relative to the bike trails brochure. Members will recall that this brochure has been several months in the making and at last has been completed. The brochure has already been made available to one of the sponsors of this brochure and the Eagan Library. Additional brochures will be distributed in the community along with an announcement relative to the Minnesota Symphony /Minnesota Zoo Concert. An update on the maintenance activities of the department over the last month, as well as those items which are scheduled to be completed within the next several weeks, will also be presented to the Commission. Department staff has already been notified of the 1985 budget preparation procedure. All staff members have been requested to submit suggestions and comments concerning improvements which might be considered in the preparation of the 1985 budget. The Advisory Commission is also asked to contribute its suggestions and areas of concerns so they may be evaluated during this budget preparation process. The next two items are the setting of meeting dates for the Recreation Commit- tee and for the Special Issues Committee. Because of the time commitments with the Parks Bond Referendum, these two special committees have had a brief vacation from their responsibilities, but it will be very appropriate for them to again come together to take up the tasks before them. The last two items have to do with the July Commission Meeting. Because the next Commission meeting is July 5, following the July 4 holiday, department staff is requesting that a change in date to the following Thursday be consid— ered. Along with that change of date is the determination and desirability of a parks tour or special facilities tour to other communities. Staff would appreciate direction relative to these two items. If there are no other business items or issues to be addressed, it would then be appropriate for the Commission to adjourn its regular meeting for June. KV /js A regular meeting of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission was called to order by Chairman Martin at 7 :15 P.M.. All members were present. Ken Vraa, Director of Parks Recreation; Administrative Assistant, Liz Witt; and Parks and Recreation Intern, Jim Sturm, were also present. Developers and residents were in attendance to speak on particular items on the agenda. Informational items were added to the agenda by Parks Recreation Director, Vraa. On a motion by Carroll, seconded by Jackson, the Commission approved the agenda as amended. Chairman Martin moved, Alt seconded, that the minutes of April 5, 1984 be approved as presented. A. Lexington Place South Bill Allen of U.S. Home Corp. addressed the Commission. He said the developers were withdrawing their request for park credit for the private park amenities associated with Lexington Place South. Chairman Martin moved, Kubik seconded, to recognize the withdrawal of the request for park credit and to accept a cash dedication for Lexington Place South. The motion carried. B. Peace Reformed Church MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION EAGAN, MINNESOTA MAY 3 1984 AGENDA MINUTES DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS SUBJECT TO APPROVAL Parks Recreation Director, Vraa noted for the Commission that two (2) issues needed to be considered the outlot to be platted and the church site. (The Peace Reformed Church planned to outlot a parcel for future development and build a church on the remaining parcel). He said that communities surveyed do not have a policy regarding park dedication from churches. The Commission would have to decide if there should be dedication and, if so, what kind commercial/industrial or residential? Chairman Martin said he was opposed to requiring dedication from churches. Commission Member Bertz voiced concern with those "churches" that are not "traditional Further discussion resulted in the issue being delegated to the Special Issues Committee for development of a policy. Commission Member Kubik raised the possibility that the property could be sold and another use made of it. In that case, the Commission should review it for park dedication. Commission Member McNeely moved, Ketcham seconded, to: 1. not require park dedication from the church site. 2. The outlot is excluded from the motion and therefore, subject to a dedication at time of the platting. 3. If the church usage changes in the future, then the Commission will review for park dedication. The motion carried unanimously. C. Cinnamon Ridge 7th; Cinnamon Ridge P.U.D. The director explained that Can- American Realty Corp. has purchased Outlot A, Cinnamon Ridge, and proposes to build 230 apartment units on the site. The original P.U.D. Agreement with Zachman Homes provided for two (2) land dedications. Also required was the grading, seeding, trail construction and hard surface area within the park. A cash dedication was determined with remaining credit from the park land dedication to be applied against the cash requirement for this outlot. The P.U.D. had dedicated the land, however, of particular concern is the grading and seeding which has still not been done. He had communicated with a Zachman representative several times and received assurances that the grading would be done by the summer /fall of 1983. He went on to explain that the City has a "Performance Bond" to pay for the work, but was uncertain that it was large enough to cover the cost or could be done in an expeditious manner. After additional discussion, on a motion by Kubik, seconded by Bertz, the Commission recommended certain conditions be met before platting be approved. 1. Grading and seeding of the 2 1/2 acre park be completed. 2. The 5' connecting trailways should be installed. 3. A blacktop mat for a basketball court should be laid. 4. The entire cash dedication required for Cinnamon Ridge 7th and remaining credits be withheld until the agreed to park work has been completed. The motion was approved unanimously. D. Pheasant Knoll, Blackhawk P.U.D John Bossardt spoke for Dunn Realty which proposes 80 units for construction. Thomas Lake Road will provide access for 66 homes with the rest of the units to be served from County Road 30. The developers propose to utilize the same roadway access for the 14 units as for the proposed park. A cul -de -sac is proposed with a parking area and boat launch for park purposes and access to the living units. Director Vraa reminded the Commission that park dedication for Pheasant Knoll was Heine Lake and very little land. The Master Parks Plan has Heine Lake as a site for fishing and boating (no gas motors). The park road access was to be of minimum width to allow for the greatest amount of green space. Making the road public and wider would negate any savings of land. The proposed cul- de -sac is large and lies very close to the water's edge. Director Vraa is concerned about a rise in the lake level and loss of access to the lake. A lengthy discussion followed these opening remarks. Ron Williams, a resident of Heine First Addition, asked if the development provided for an Environmental Impact Statement. He also wanted to know who determines the street setbacks from the water's edge. He went on to say that he objected to having a public road on park property and using park funds to pay for the park for which the developer benefits. Resident Shirley Kline expressed a great deal of concern about erosion problems and the quality of the lake water. She did not feel the developers were careful about erosion control, citing existing erosion problems. Another resident noted the proposed access road off County Road 30 was located in a dangerous, often slippery, area. Chairman Martin and Commission Member Kubik said Heine Lake must be kept clean and there has to be a complete erosion plan submitted with the development. They did not like the idea of having a public road on park property, reducing the park space still further. John Bossardt said the previous proposal had no plans to develop this lower area so the road for the park had been placed farther to the west. Commission Members Carroll and Bertz did not think the plan layout was accurate. They had visited the site and said there was not much room between the proposed road and Heine Lake, as shown on the sketch plan. Mr. Carroll questioned how the City would be able to develop the small amount of remaining land. He reminded the Commission that when County Road 30 is widened, the park will become smaller still. Ralph Wagner of Probe Engineering noted that the City's Consulting Engineer was studying the high water mark and that 873.5 is the fixed control point. He said the high water mark will not be greater than 883.5 and the level is now about 873. Mr. Wagner said an envirofence will be used to control erosion. Such a "fence" is more stable and durable than straw bales. Commission Member Bertz felt that envirofence was a preferred erosion control method. She did not like the road on City property or to have the City pay for the road, for that matter. Chairman Martin asked that an annual rye grass be seeded to help hold the soil until a permanent seeding can take place. John Bossardt said that when the developers learned the City planned road access to the park they adjusted their plans in order to best utilize the entire parcel. He said the developer will pay for the cul -de -sac and the road beyond the park access to serve the 14 homes. The City should pay for park access, the parking lot and boat launch. Commission Member Kubik and other members recommended that the City engineers monitor the erosion conditions. Director Vraa was asked to write Engineering a memo and include residents concerns about other erosion conditions in the vicinity. Mr. Kubik said the layout as proposed would limit public family use because of the small amount of remaining park land space. There was additional discussion concerning the limiting of parking space in the park, posting of "No Parking" signs, road alignment and safety, trail needs and road width. Chairman Martin then moved, Kubik seconded, that the item be returned to staff for additional review with the following comments: 1. The preferred park proposal is one similar to the concept plan for Heine Lake as prepared in the Systems Plan. 2. City staff should closely review the size and location of the cul -de -sac and road. It was the opinion that if the road were narrower and the cul -de -sac further to the west, perhaps the proposal could be considered. 3. The road should not be on property to be dedicated to the City. 4. Erosion control must include the envirofence and seeding with an overlay to prevent further erosion as soon as possible. The developer must maintain erosion control measures at all times. The motion carried unanimously. Commission Member Carroll moved, Kubik seconded, to have a trailway from the cul -de -sac to Thomas Lake Road be a part of the discussion with the developers. The motion was approved. E. BIRCH PARK/WINDCREST Director Vraa presented information on this item. Sienna Corporation has purchased the remainder of the Windcrest P.D., revising plans to put in single family and twin home units. A park was deeded with the first Windcrest plat. Sienna has changed the plat and taken out a road by fronting homes on Deerwood. This will create an outlot of open space. He continued by saying that it is possible this outlot may be given to the City for parks open space. Commission Member Thurston moved, Kubik seconded, to accept the open space as a gift. No park dedication credit will be given for the open space on this development or any other proposed Sienna developments shall it be offered. The motion was carried. NEW BUSINESS TRAIL CONNECTION HEINE STRASSE CLEMSON COURT Parks and Recreation Director Vraa recounted for the Commission that a trail dedication was to take place with the platting of Heine First Addition. The trail was to be on a 10' easement on the easterly edge of lot 8 to connect to Clemson Court. However, the plat was filed without the trail dedication. Keith Olson, owner of lot 9, questioned the need for a trailway. He observed that the portion of trail already in place is not well layed out or maintained and is hazardous. Commission Members Martin and Thurston noted that trailway connections were part of the circulation plan of the trail system. Chairman Martin said perhaps deterrants to bicycles could be put in place to keep the trail safer. He said that erosion control was necessary too. Director Vraa said that the part of the trail in place could be removed, regraded and reinstalled to get a safer connection angle. On a motion by Thurston, seconded by Carroll, the Commission recommended that the trail be installed as was originally intended, giving full consideration to minimizing hazards and erosion problems. The trail should be as safe as possible. The motion was unanimously approved. A. PARK BOND REFERENDUM OTHER BUSINESS Informational meetings on the upcoming Park Bond Referendum will be held May 5, 9 and 10. Chairman Martin asked Commission Members to sign up for one meeting each. The schedule is as follows: May 5: Thurston, Jackson and Ketcham 9: Martin, Carroll and Bertz 10: Alt and Masin Members McNeely and Kubik will be unable to attend any of the meetings due to prior commitments. All members agreed to distribute flyers prior to the referendum date as may be necessary. Bill Jackson reported on the Task Force and said that about $400 had been received in donations. Buttons promoting approval of the bonds had been purchased. Flyers will be distributed by interested groups such as softball teams and athletic associations. There will be "door knocking" and a telephone campaign on May 21. B. REQUEST FOR STORAGE SPACE FROM EAGAN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Director Vraa said he had been contacted by the Eagan Athletic Association for possible storage of equipment on City property. Director Vraa suggested that the Patrick Eagan House might be a possibility. He asked the City Inspections Department to assess the building for any dangers. The Commission felt it was better for the building to be used rather than boarded up. The consensus was to allow the association to use Patrick Eagan House for storage. C. L.A.W.C.O.N. APPLICATIONS Applications for L.A.W.C.O.N. grants were submitted on April 30. The amounts were: D. SUCCESSFUL PARK BOND REFERENDUM Parks and Recreation Director Vraa asked the Commission to think about what they expect the Commission's role to be if the Park Bond Referendum is successful. He noted there will be issue and answer problems that will arise in the implementation of park development and the Commission must be prepared to deal with them. ADJOURNMENT Commission Member Carroll moved, Jackson seconded, that the meeting be adjourned. Time of adjournment was 10:40 P.M.. Dated: Coachman 199,600 Capricorn 270,000 Schwanz Lake 221,000 Advisory Parks Recreation Secretary MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: JUNE 1, 1984 RE: PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT PHEASANT KNOLL BACKGROUND /UPDATE: The Advisory Parks Recreation Commission has previously reviewed the proposed preliminary plat for Pheasant Knoll at its May 3 Commission Meeting. At that meeting, the Commission made several recommendations regarding the plat and referred it back to staff for further review and reworking. Major issues of concern raised at that meeting were relative to the roadway access off of County Road 30, the size and location of a proposed cul -de -sac and road, that the roadway would not be on park property and that a trailway from the cul -de -sac to Thomas Lake Road be reviewed with the developer to determine its feasibility. Concern was also expressed by the Commission relative to the accuracy of the graphic showing the waterline and topography. PLAT REVISIONS: Staff has met and discussed with the developer the necessary revisions. Roadway access from County Road 30 has been shifted to the west approximately 80' which is the approximate location of the current driveway access to this area. (See attached sketch plan). The width of the roadway at County Road 30 is approximately 32' wide which meets City design standards for a public roadway. The road then comes to a "Y" intersection for the road and cul -de -sac with the other leg for the park facility. The roadway and cul -de -sac is now proposed to be a private road designed to a 24' width and a smaller 28' radius cul -de -sac. This roadway and cul -de -sac meets City standards for private roads. This shift of the roadway alignment to the west and reduction in roadway width from the previous 32' wide road to a 24' wide road has resulted in approximately 30 plus feet of additional green space being created between the road and pond. A revision in the park scheme is also being suggested at this time by City staff. Members will note that it is being suggested that the parking lot and boat access be shifted closer to County Road 30 or further to the north than the previous proposed location. This has the effect of creating a larger green space and further reduces potential conflicts between park users and the proposed condominium residences. Please be aware that this is a conceptual shift in the park plan and some revisions are probable upon further design review. The roadway from County Road 30 into the parking area for the park is proposed to be a public roadway on City park property. The roadway and cul -de -sac servicing the residents are not on parkland, but shall remain a responsibility of the developer and the future Homeowners Association. Because it is unlikely that the City will maintain the park parking area during the winter months, it shall be the responsibility of the Homeowners Association to plow and maintain that section of public road from County Road 30 to the private drive in the wintertime. It is recommended that this be part of the plat conditions to be included in the Homeowners Association's covenants and declarations. The roadway realignment and reduction has resulted in a slight increase in dedicated park to 9.44 acres from the earlier figure of 9.2 acres. If there are no further modifications and upon verification of calculation, this figure would be credited towards the parks dedication requirements of the Blackhawk PUD. The developer's engineer has also checked the lake elevation and found it to be about 12' higher than the 873.5 normal elevation. This may be the result of a partially blocked outlet. This, along with inherent misalignment of U.S.G.S. topography or the development scheme and previous disruption to the site, may account for the discrepancy between the visual presentation and site visit. The remaining issue relative to this development is for a trailway to Thomas Lake Road. The Systems Plan proposed concept depicted a trailway along the west shore of Heine Pond to accomodate possible fishing docks. This trailway still appears to be feasible, but somewhat difficult as the trailway proceeds past the cul -de -sac and homes. In this location, a further detailed review and site modification of the grading may be necessary to accomodate this path. In reviewing access to Thomas Lake Road, however, a good portion of the trailway would have to go over slopes at a grade of two to one. Because of this extremely steep grade, staff is not recommending that a bituminous or hard surface bicycle trailway be included. An unimproved footpath may be desirable, but there is some expression of concern relative to the safety of such a trail for pedestrian traffic at this time. Commission may wish to consider a request for a 10' wide trail easement, with the installation of such a footpath the responsibility of the City should it be determined at a future time to be a necessary part of the parks development. One final item of discussion at the May meeting of the Commission was relative to erosion control during the construction phase. The developer has previously agreed and is still committed to the installation and maintenance of enviro- fence to control these siltation problems and has agreed to provide temporary and permanent seeding as an additional measure to curb this problem. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve /disapprove with modifications the proposed parks dedication for Pheasant Knoll /Blackhawk Park PUD. This item is scheduled for the City Council meeting of June 19, 1984. KV /js Attach. 4 q:9 i SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT PILOT POINTE APPLICANT: SIENNA CORPORATION ROD HARDY LOCATION: NWT OF SECTION 22, EAST OF PILOT KNOB ROAD EXISTING ZONING: R -1 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 29, 1984 DATE OF REPORT: MAY 22. 1984 REPORTED BY: GREG H. INGRAHAM, PLANNER I CITY OF EAGAN APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting Preliminary Plat approval for Pilot Pointe. The plat consists of 20 single family lots on approximately 8.8 acres. ZONING AND LAND USE Presently, the parcel is zoned R -1 which would allow only single family lots with a minimum. width of 85' and containing at least 12,000 square feet. COMMENTS The proposed site is located north of Deerwood Drive and east of Pilot Knob Road. It's east property line abuts with the proposed Birch Park project which is also under consideration during the May 29th meeting. Access would be off of Pilot Knob Road 950' north of the centerline of Deerwood Drive. Project circulation would be on a proposed cul de -sac with a stub street to provide future access to property. to the north. The cul -de -sac would eliminate the need to extend` an access road west from the adjoining Birch Park Addition. No access is proposed to the parcel south of this project. Ideally, the southernly parcel would be developed in conjunction with the subject parcel due to the shared topographic and access conditions-. The parcel topography is quite steep with a high point of 9ao feet elevation and a low point of approximately 830'. The applicant would utilize roughly 250,000 cubic yards of fill from the 35E construction project to raise the majority of the site. The proposed plat meets all the lot size minimum requirements and all the setback requirements except for Lot 1, Block 1 on which the applicant is requesting a 10' variance from the 50' required setback from Pilot Knob Road. ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION PRELIMINARY PLAT PILOT POINTE MAY 29, 1984 PAGE 2. The 20 lots provide a gross density of 2.27 units /acre and a net density of 2.84 units /acre after subtracting the road right -of -way. The average lot size is 15,246 square feet. If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following conditions: GHI jbd 1) A 10' setback variance be granted for Lot 1, Block 1. 2) The plat be subject to the County Plat Commission's review since it abuts a County Road 3) All other applicable ordinances be adhered to 1 DEENW 000 N.W. 1/4 ='SEC. 22,T.27, R. 23 .INNARD H LMNWN GNVMI• •VP C011YTI, NM. 1 11117O 4 4 I f a 1= 1 H 6 2 ON.6.4 Nt.IT1 I•51.•NT 1 I 4NE 1 j" II== i 33.

W Y CC i I VI LB R-I1 MENDOTA 13-111 CSC/GB/L 7 z APPLE ROSEMOUNT-: MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: ED KIRSCHT, ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN DATE: MAY 24, 1984 SUBJECT: PILOT POINTE PRELIMINARY PLAT DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY This proposed development is located directly east of Pilot Knob Road and approximately 600+ feet north of Deerwood Lane in the northwest corner of Section 22. The existing topography consists of mostly open land which lies 20 30 feet below the elevation of Pilot Knob Road. This property will require a large amount of fill material to bring its elevation high enough so it can have access to Pilot Knob Road. This development slopes to the east, and Figure 1 illustrates the relationship of this proposed development being located within the J major drainage district as defined by the Master Storm Sewer Plan. Since the storm runoff water is proposed to drain easterly to Pond JP -6, staff recommends that this development not be approved until such time that Birch Park (formerly Windcrest Addition) is approved for final plat and it is assured that the proper ponding and drainage easements be obtained and all potential drainage problems be resolved. WATER MAIN There is an existing 16' water main in Pilot Knob Road to serve this proposed development. The City will require that the proposed 6" water main be looped from the east end of proposed Pilot Knob Court to the east plat line and extend to the south to connect to an existing 12" water main in Deerwood Drive. The City will require the necessary easements be dedicated between Lots 5 and 6 of Block 2 for the proposed water main. SANITARY SEWER The City is in the process of constructing a sanitary sewer life station in the proposed Birch Park development and it is scheduled to be completed by July 31, 1984. In light of the above, sanitary sewer service will be available to serve this property. STREETS The proposed plat indicates a short street between Lot 5, Block 1, and Lot 1, Block 2. Due to the large amount of fill it would take to construct this street north of Pilot Knob Court, the City will require street and slope easements be obtained so that the said short street be constructed as a condition of final plat approval. It is recommended by the City staff that the short street be moved to the east so it would line up with the existing property lines of Lots 3 and 4 of Skovdale No.2. MEMO TO THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 24, 1984 PAGE 2 RIGHT OF WAY /EASEMENTS The City will require utility and drainage easements ten feet (10') in width adjoining all streets and five feet (5') in width adjoining side and rear lot lines. The City will require easements for all utilities not constructed within the street right -of -way. This item will be reviewed again when the final utility plan for this development has been submitted.

DRENCKHAHN PART OF THE SEk OF THE NE' .OF SECTION 4 A (AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT) MAY 29, 1984 MAY 22, 1984 GREG H. INGRAHAM, PLANNER I APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting preliminary plat approval and rezoning for approximately .68 acres located west of Pilot Knob Road and south of 494. ZONING AND LAND USE Presently the parcel is zoned A (Agricultural) and would not allow any further development until the property was rezoned. The Compre hensive Guide designates this parcel as RB (Roadside Business District) which would allow development in accordance with freeway access and service to the transient population. The applicant is proposing to zone in accordance with the Comprehensive Guide Plan; and requests a zoning of RB (Roadside Business) for this particular parcel. COMMENTS The applicant is proposing to remodel the 1,354 square foot struc- ture into a gift shop and hair salon. The proposed plan conforms to the setback, parking and lot coverage requirements of the City Code. The applicant is presently operating a beauty parlor as a home occupation. This business would relocate to the proposed new location. The main issue seems to be whether or not the proposed use is compatible with the RB designation being applied for The Drenck- hahn's long range plan would include the acquisition and rezoning to RB of the land north of the subject parcel for construction of a German restaurant. If this is accomplished, the RB zoning would be contiguous and conforming to the Land Use Guide Plan designation. If approved the plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1) The plat be subject to the Dakota Plat Commission's review since it abuts a county road. 2) The plan be submitted to the City Engineering Department for approval of the drainage and grading alterations.

I /1 MM 808 2 VA UY fi r w MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER DATE: MAY 25, 1984 SUBJECT: DRENCKHAHN PRELIMINARY PLAT The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the following comments concerning this proposed development for consideration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council. GRADING /DRAINAGE A detailed grading plan will be required indicating how storm water run -off from the parking area will be handled. UTILITIES Existing utilities capable of providing service to this proposed development consists of only a 12" trunk watermain located along the the westside of Pilot Knob Road. However, this proposed development lies within the N -J sanitary sewer sub district as depicted in Figure 1. At this time, there are no lateral sanitary sewer mains in this sub district. The closest sanitary sewer to this proposed development is located approximately 300 feet east of Pilot Knob Road in Corporate Center Drive (Old Eagan Industrial Road). This is approximately 500 feet from this proposed development. Although preliminary review by staff indicates the sewer is deep enough in this location, it would not be feasible to extend this sewer any further west due to the fact that existing pavement would have to be removed and replaced and it would not be enough room without obtaining an easement or removing and replacing the bituminous pathway along the westside of Pilot Knob Road to install a sewer line to service this parcel. Besides, the amount of area which could be served by this sewer would be limited since the land in this area generally slopes to the west. Therefore, it would appear to be more appropriate to service sub district N -J from laterals from the trunk sanitary sewer located within this sub district. Servicing this proposed development with sanitary sewer at this time may not be all that appropriate when one considers the immedi- ate proposed use being for a beauty salon and gift shop. However, it would be imperative that sanitary sewer be available if and when this proposed development includes the restaurant facility which was mentioned at the previous Planning Commission meeting by the applicants. EASEMENTS /RIGHT OF WAY A fifty -foot public half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Pilot Knob Road as a condition of this plat. In addition, a ten -foot utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to all publicly dedicated right -of -way with a five -foot utility and ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 24, 1984 PAGE TWO drainage easement being dedicated adjacent to all exterior lot lines. ASSESSMENTS As a condition of final platting, this development shall be respon- sible for trunk area storm sewer and lateral benefit from trunk watermain. In addition to the above assessments which would be determined at the commercial rate, the water area assessment must be upgraded from residential to commercial. All assessment rates will be the rates which are in effect at the time of final platting. At this time, the above assessments would amount to the following: Water Area .578 Acres X $2,830 Per acre $1,662 $150 (1972 Single Family Rate Assessed) $1,512 Trunk Area Storm Sewer 25,560 Square Feet X $.068 per square foot $1,738 Lateral Benefit From Trunk Water 83 Feet X $17.87 per front foot $1,483 I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting of May 29, 1984. Respectfully sub itted, Richard M. Hef t P.E. Assistant City Engineer ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS 1) A detailed grading drainage plan shall be submitted for approval by Staff. 2) A 50' public half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Pilot Knob Road, along with easements as referenced in this report. 3) This development shall be responsible for trunk water and storm sewer area assessments and lateral benefit from trunk watermain at the rates in effect at final platting.

This plat did receive preliminary approval, but development has not proceeded. Mr. Peter Stalland has since become involved with this property and will be proposing a revision to the plat. In addition, Mr. Stalland is currently developing property under his ownership which is adjacent to this parcel entitled "Blackhawk Lakes Addition Both of these additions, Blackhawk Oaks and Blackhawk Lake, are immediately adjacent to Blackhawk Park. This item is to appear before the June meeting of the Planning Commission, but is being presented to the Parks Commission for informal review /action because of related park issues. Therefore, there is no planning report or engineering report included at this time. ISSUES: Several issues and concerns were raised at the time of the original application by Mr. Larson for Blackhawk Oaks. Issues relative to the Parks Department, and in particular Blackhawk Park, were road access. Attached to this memorandum is the preliminary plat filed in 1982, minutes of the August 5, 1982 Advisory Commission Meeting and a supplemental report which was prepared at that time by Mr. Erkkila and the Director of Parks Recreation. These items should help the Commission understand some of the related background and initial issues related to the Blackhawk Oaks preliminary development. Some of these issues may now be mute because of a change in the proposed development plan by Mr. Stalland. The major issue raised by Mr. Stalland at this time is access to his land parcel immediately north of Blackhawk Park. This parcel, which is approxima- tely 5 acres in size, is being proposed to be platted into four (4) large lots. These lots will gain access via a private road from the Blackhawk Oaks Addition. In order for this private road to be facilitated, Mr. Stalland is asking for a roadway easement across the northwest corner of Blackhawk Park of approximately 2,000 square feet. The construction of the roadway and its slope easement will affect another four to six thousand square feet which will be restored after the proposed street construction. In lieu of this easement to be platted as Outlot D, the developer will dedicate to the City, Outlot D which is approximately 9,000 square feet. Mr. Stalland and his engineering representative will be available at the Commission meeting to further explain his request and proposal. Mr. Stalland is seeking direction from the Commission in order that he might be able to proceed with his plat applications. KV /js Attach. RR 8 1- 1 Ci RB U V. A r H PF SILVER YELL 1 4 20 s. IRM. 4r.

Those members present at the meeting were Martin, Fedde, Gustafson, Carroll and Thurston. Absent were members Schumaker, Tilley, Masin, McNeely, Kubik. Also present was the Director of Parks and Recreation and Planning Director. Preceding the convening of the meeting at 7:30 P.M., members of the Advisory Committee toured South Oaks, Lakeside, Wedgewood, Capricorn and Ches N'ar Parks. MINUTES Chairman Martin indicated that only five members of the committee were present thus a quorum was not constituted to act upon the minutes in an official capacity. The committee determined that a review of the agenda should take place but to withhold any official action until a full committee was available. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS BLACKHAWK OAKS City Planner, Dale Runkle reviewed the preliminary plat which had been re- ceived for Blackhawk Oaks, indicating the density, design, and road layout. He further reviewed the recommendations of the Advisory Planning Commission concerning the plat and the current status. The Parks and Recreation Director distributed to the committee a report titled, Preliminary Review; Blackhawk Park Access Issues. The director indicated that he and the parks system consultant, Tim Erkkila had done a preliminary evaluation and review of access to Blackhawk Park. He indicated that the primary concern for access related to an extension of Silver Bell Road through the Blackhawk Oaks plat. The director reviewed the contents of the preliminary report indicating that at this time the study was being done because of the urgency created by the Blackhawk Oaks preliminary plat. He stated that the access issue was one that should really be looked at in terms of the development and use pattern for the park and not as a separate issue in of itself. In reviewing the report, it appeared to be desirable to try to gain access to Blackhawk Park at the northwest corner via Silver Bell Road extension. This roadway would be the primary access to the park until such time as a south road would be possible. At that time that a south access is developed, the Silver Bell access point would become secondary in nature. In response to a question, the director indicated that the current access to the park from Riverton be retained but utilized as a neighborhood access rather than a community park access. The Director of Parks and Recreation and City Planner responded to numerous questions in regards to the plat and questions regarding access to the park. Mr. Wes Carlson who resides on Palisade Point commented that he agreed that the alignment of Silver Bell Road should be extended into the park. Mr Carlson also produced an old plan which was showing an access into the park north rather than the current Riverton access point. Committee mem- ber Carroll questioned the property immediately to the north of Blackhawk. Park for possible development and its zoning, questioning whether park land Advisory Parks f Recreation Committee Minutes August 5, 1982 Page 2 dedication might be sought when this parcel is ultimately developed. Committee member Carroll also questioned the amount of parking that might be available at the northwest access. The director indicated that the amount of parking would be limited as a desirable aspect and if direction from the Advisory Committee is such that this should be looked into further the amount of parking could then be determined. Chairman Martin offered that the extension of Silver Bell into the park would be an immediate benefit for park users. Further, this would be a better access than through residential street access currently available. Committee member Carroll indicated that he felt the current access was insufficient to the park, that ultimate use of the park through these residential streets was not the most desirable. After further discussion, staff was to meet with the developer and review the options of an access into the park from a Silver Bell extension. The parks dedication is to consist of a possible combination of land and cash to satisfy both the roadway access and parking. BRITTANY MANOR 4th City Planner Runkle explained the proposed plat explaining that the original Brittany Manor addition consisted of duplex. He indicated the developer is now requesting that these lots be platted as 18 single family units. The Planning Director indicated that there would be no land dedication with this parcel but would be cash dedication. He indicated the issue before the Advisory Committee however, is a 30' wide trail easement which was received when the original Brittany Manor was platted. The Director of Parks and Recreation indicated the location of the trail and its intended purpose at the time it was received as an easement. He stated that since this property had been obtained however, that Orrin Thompson development had granted the City the existing trailway from Johnny Cake Ridge addition to Cliff Road. He indicated that the use of this trail now seemed questionable. Members of the Advisory Committee questioned the value of the lake property located on the east perimeter of the trail. It was pointed out the trail ends at a ponding easement and is not at the N.O.H.W. It was also noted that the surrounding lots fall into the lake area. The committee then discussed the value of the lake for park purposes and constraints from not owning or being able to obtain additional land around the lake for a trailway. It was also commented that an existing pond and trailway do exist further to the south in Dakota County Park land which is accessible to the residents for enjoyment. Committee member Thurston indicated that it was her thoughts that the draw- backs to the keeping this trail was more significant than its uses, as a dead end lake is not useful. There was general agreement by the committee with directions to staff to accept a cash dedication and to abandon the concept of a trail. The Director of Parks and Recreation was asked to review the needs for a portion of the trail easement as it abuts Johnny Cake Ridge Road to tie in with the existing trail alignment. SUB DIVISION ORDINANCE Planner Runkle informed the Advisory Committee that the planning commission was reviewing the sub division ordinance as it relates to parks. He indicated that the big question was how to receive parks dedication with a phased develop- ment. He then reviewed the discussion by the planning commission. Members of the Advisory Committee indicated that flexibility would be necessary in dealing and accepting parks land in totality or in phasing with each parcel. Committee Advisory Parks F, Recreation Committee Minutes August 5, 1982 Page 3 member Martin indicated that several of the park sections which are without parks at this time should be indicated or addressed for early parks dedication. There was no further discussion or action taken by the committee. NEW BUSINESS Designation of Park Sites for System Plan Design: The Director of Parks and Recreation reviewed the memo included in the packet for the Advisory Committee indicating that the consultant wished to begin base mapping for as many parks as the committee would like to include for designs. The director indicated five (5) parks he felt deserved some priority because they generally met the criteria of having known boundaries, are acquired park land, within developed neighborhood areas, and might be conducive to preliminary work'by City forces. The director indicated Capricorn, Wedgewood, Lakeside and South Oaks Parks. The Director of Parks and Recreation then reviewed some of the pros and cons of other park sites. The committee then discussed each of the park sites suggesting and defining some of the concerns and issues of each of the sites. In response to a question the director indicated that he felt it desirable that the committee continue to work on the issue to at least begin to shape a second group of five (5) park sites for park'design purposes. And, at such time the joint committee meeting with the City Council this issue would then be raised for a joint discussion. He continued that committee work in advance of this would be helpful to eliminate or designate some of the park sites. The committee discussed Blackhawk, Thomas Lake, Carlson Lake as strong candidates for design. Rahn Park and Fish Lake also seemed logical candidates. After a lengthy discussion it was determined that this issue would be placed on the agenda for additional discussion and the park sites systematically dealt with. The pros and cons could then be listed for each site. 1983 BUDGET The Director of Parks and Recreation stated that much of the budget was now "down in pencil" and would be completed within a few days to be turned into the City Administrator. He asked that the Advisory. Committee make known any of its concerns for additional consideration before the final budget was submitted. The director, in response to a question, indicated that additional money has been placed in for picnic tables and for program ex- pansion in some areas. He went on to explain numerous aspects about the budget and what had been included as well as the concerns for trails mainte- nance, rinks maintenance and parks care. Member Martin stated that the worst part of the parks seems to be in the poor soils and lack of good turf. He suggested that this be given some consideration for improvement. The committee and the Director of Parks and Recreation exchanged information concerning the budget but no action was required or taken by the committee at this time. OTHER BUSINESS The Director of Parks and Recreation briefed the Advisory Committee on the recently completed maintenance work. He stated that all of the neighbor- hood park ball fields have now been graded and additional material added as well as having most of the playground equipment and play perimeters stained and painted. The director then briefly outlined some of the fall projects envisioned for the maintenance staff which included tree planting, Advisory Parks i Recreation Committee Minutes August 5, 1982 Page 4 work on the athletic and soccer fields, installation of some pieces of play- ground equipment, fall spraying for weeds and other general turf issues. COMMITTEE PICNIC DATE Chairman Martin indicated that it would be desirable to have September 10th as the annual committee's picnic outing at Blackhawk Park and if rain for the picnic to be held at Rahn Park. Assignments for carrying out the picnic were made. Committee member Martin requested that on the September agenda a review of the Blackhawk Park P.D. be placed on the agenda for discussion by the committee with the City Planner and Parks and Recreation Director. There being no other business the meeting was adjourned at 10 :45 P.M.

RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER APPLICATION SUBMI'T1'BU The first application submitted is a request to rezone approximately 13 acres fran A (Agricultural) to PD (Planned Development District) to allow 16 townhouse units and 9 single family lots in part of the N'A of the NE} of the NEa, Section 20. The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat approval Blackhawk Oaks, which would contain approximately 13 acres and consist of 16 town- house lots and 9 single family lots located in the Nz of the NEQ of the NE4, Section 20. ZONING AND LAND USE Presently, the parcel is zoned A (Agricultural) and would only allow one dwelling unit per 5 acres. The Comprehensive Land Use Guide designates this parcel as R -1 (Residential Single District) with a density of 0 3 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development plan has a net density of 2.39 dwelling units per acre, which is within the R -1 density range, even though the development plan is not all single family dwelling units. COM^ NTS CITY OF EAGAN In reviewing this development plan, the area to the south is developed as single family lots. Riverton Drive has been stubbed to the property in the southeast corner to provide access to this particular parcel. The area to the north is still relatively undeveloped. Blackhawk Park abuts the parcel on the east and Blackhawk Road borders the property on the west. The applicant has proposed to continue Riverton Drive as a curvilineal street, which would terminate at and make a four-way intersection at Blackhawk Road and Silverbell Road. The proposed street plan provides good public access for this particular parcel and allows additional access for the people in the Cedar Grove area to the south. The applicant is also proposing to provide a private drive which would be a loop street tying in from Blackhawk Road to the extension of Silverbell Road or Riverton Drive. This private drive would have two accesses and provide good traffic circulation for the sixteen townhouse units. It is Staff's understanding that the private drive will he a CITY OF EAGAN PAUL LAPSCN JULY 27, 1982 PAGE TWO minimum of 24 feet wide and there is a minimum of a 20 foot setback for this private drive. The townhouse portion contains 3.96 acres of which .36 acres is contained with the private drive. The net acres for the multiple is 3.6 and would have a density of 4.4 dwelling units per acre. The lot coverage in the townhouse portion is 11.3 The single family lots will contain approximately 7.64 acres and will contain 9 lots. The smallest lot within the single family area is 18,700 square feet, which is well in excess of the minimtmi lot size for an R -1 (Residential Single District). Presently, there is an existing house on the 13 acre parcel. This house will be platted as Lot 1, within the single family district. The greatest concern on the development proposal is in regard to providing adequate easements for the extension of Riverton Drive or Silverbell Road on the north portion of the plat. It is Staff's understanding that the applicant will have to work with the adjoining property owner to be able to provide adequate road right- of-way to provide access to this development proposal. If this right of-way cannot be obtained, the developer will have to redesign the plat which would have to shift the road southerly to have the sixty foot right- of-way within the parcel under consideration at this time. If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following editions: 1. That a planned development agreement and development agreement be executed prior to the final plat approval of Blackhawk Oaks. 2. A homeowner's association and by -laws shall be reviewed by City Staff prior to final plat approval. 3. A landscape plan shall be submitted and reviewed for the townhouse portion of Blackhawk Oaks and an adequate landscape bond shall be provided and not released until one year after the landscaping has been completed. 4. Adequate right- of-way shall be dedicated to the City with the final plat in order to provide a sixty foot right-of-way for the extension of Riverton Drive or Silverbell Road extension. 5. No more than 16 townhouse units and 9 single family lots shall be allowed for this development proposal. 6. The plat shall be subject to the park dedication fees as requested by the Advisory Park Committee. 7. All easements shall be dedicated as requested by City Staff. ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS 8. Internal storm sewer lateral facilities will have to be extended to its ultimate outlet into Blackhawk Lake. 9. Internal private drive shall be a minimum 24 feet in width with concrete curb and gutter. 10. All required public rights-of -way, including the extension of Silverbell Road, must be acquired and dedicated as a part of the final plat or prior to the installation of streets and utilities. 11. A 40 foot half right- of-way should be dedicated for Blackhawk Road as a part of the final plat. Blackhawk Oaks Addition Engineering Report Page Two EASEMENTS RIGHT OF WAY A sixty (60) foot right of way would have to be dedicated for a portion of the street located within the boundaries of the preliminary plat. It should be noted that a portion of the proposed street lies outside of the preliminary plat. This portion of the street right of way should be acquired by the developer, either by means of purchase or easement. This should be prior to the submission of the final plat. A ponding easement would have to be dedicated for the proposed internal ponding area located between Lot 1 and Lot 2. In addition, all necessary internal utility easements required for the internal utility distribution would be compulsory at the time of the final plat. STREETS Access to this proposed development would be Blackhawk Road along the west and from Riverton Avenue on the south. Private drives in Blackhawk Oaks Second Addition shall be a minimum of feet wide with concrete curb and gutter. Furthermore, the dead end private drive should be looped back into Riverton Avenue, maintaining a 75 foot setback from Blackhawk Road. Should the developer wish to dedicate these streets, they must be increased to the standard 60 foot requirements for public right of way. ASSESSMENTS All costs associated with providing internal streets and utilities to service this development would be the responsibility of this development and the adjacent property to the north based on proportionate frontage and benefit received. TRAILS SIDEWALKS Since Riverton Avenue will not be a collector road, no trails or sidewalks will be required. In addition, no sidewalk will be required along Black- hawk Road for the reason that sidewalk is in place along the west side of Blackhawk Road. I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Planning Commission at their meeting on July 27, 1982. Respectfully submitted, Richard M. Hefti, P.E. Assistant City Engineer MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT OF BLACKHAWK OAKS ADDITION The Public Works Department has the following comments to offer for the consideration of the above referenced plat: UTILITIES Sanitary Sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth to handle this proposed development exists both to the west on Silver Bell Road and to the south on Riverton Avenue. The existing sanitary sewer on Silver Bell Road would have to be extended approximately 185 feet east to the west boundary of this proposed plat. This would involve crossing Blackhawk Road. Water main of sufficient pressure and capacity to handle this proposed development exists both in the northwest corner of this proposed plat at Blackhawk Road and on the southeast corner of this proposed plat on River- ton Avenue. Consequently, no extension of either trunk or lateral water main will be required to serve this proposed development. Internal lateral distribution of sanitary sewer and water main will then have to be installed, according to City standards, to provide individual service to the proposed development. GRADING /DRAINAGE The general topography in this parcel consists of hills and depressions with the general drainage being overland towards the north and Blackhawk Lake. Approximately ninety (90) feet of fall exists from the northern edge of this parcel to Blackhawk Lake. The preliminary grading plan calls for draining a low point along the northern boundary of this parcel to ponding area located between Lots 1 and 2. This ponding area would appear to be constructed in existing low area. From this ponding area, the overflow would pass under the road through a culvert and outlet in the northwest corner of Lot 9. From here, it would have to flow overland across Lot 8 and north until it reaches Blackhawk Lake. As can be seen by the attached subdistrict storm sewer drainage map, the entire parcel is intended to drain north to Blackhawk Lake. Consequently, this drainage should have little, if any, effect upon Blackhawk Lake, especially since it has a positive storm sewer outlet as constructed under Project 297. My concern arises from the pond overflow being discharged on Lot 9 and flowing across Lot 8. The pond overflow should be directed from this proposed development via storm sewer. All storm sewer con- struction can be accomplished without any additional trunk or lateral lines. J SILVER. BELL RD FOI NEW 6L.AocitAwic ct Eco ID ADDITIdJ.

T.O.EVILE MOW. TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE FROM: TIM ERKKILA /KEN VRAA RE: PRELIMINARY REVIEW; BLACKHAWK PARK ACCESS ISSUES (Related to Blackhawk Oaks Development Proposal) At the request of the city, Erkkila Associates has undertaken a review of the access issues related to the Blackhawk Oaks residential proposal now before the city. Without the benefit of a useage plan for the park, the access recommendations must be considered as only generalizations. However, given the need to consider the Blackhawk Oaks proposal at this time, the following recommendations are made. EVALUATION METHOD To develop an access recommendation, a comparison of alternative entry points is proposed. Generally, three locations are likely: 1) The proposed north entry (the extension of Silver Bell Road) 2) The existing entries off Riverton (at Davenport and Palisade) 3) The proposed south /east entry from Deerwood. OPTIMAL ENTRY CONCEPTS EXISTING (CENTRAL) ACCESS VS. ANY OTHER ACCESS The future size and shape of Blackhawk Park is subject to additional negoti- ations and acquisition. However, the city land use plan suggests that the park may take a long, east to west configuration. To serve a large, lineal park it is very likely to expect an internal road /trail shall be constructed. Two access points off different ends of the park or one access point coming directly in to an internal "loop" road would be the typical way to serve a park of this shape. An access from Deerwood and one from Riverton near Silver Bell would be the most likely ways to bring users into the park. A single entry which is centrally located would either have to split in two directions to serve the east and north area or as a centralized parking area it would be perhaps 3/8 to 1 mile from some use areas. Topography in Blackhawk Park may prevent development of any internal loop roads or any large parking areas. More likely, are a pair of cul -de -sacs or a drive through road with scattered parking areas. The existing access at Palisade and perhaps Davenport in the future would in- volve the extension of these two "stubbed in" streets. Neither location seems well suited to become a major entry for three reasons: 1. Both are only local access streets (60' wide) with indirect access to a collector (Blackhawk). 2. The streets between Blackhawk and the park are winding streets lined with single family homes and frequently children playing in the street area. 3. Where either of the two streets enter the park, additional roads to both the north and east might be necessary to serve the desire for proximity to the west or east portions of the park. Since any other access at the north or east end is through a yet undeveloped area, issues 1 and 2 could be overcome through planning. A response to issue 3 is addressed in the section titled "Optimal Entry Patterns." NORTH VS. SOUTH ACCESS In comparing the value of a north access (Silver Bell) to one from the south- east (Deerwood) both have several positive and negative aspects. The Silver Bell access is potentially achievable in the immediate future, while the Deerwood access may be years off. Further, since a future Deerwood access will need to be planned into the redesign of the Blackhawk North P.D. and the agricultural land immediately to the south of the park there is no cer- tainty that this long park access road can be designed to be totally accept- able to all involved. In the long term, Blackhawk Road will be a Community Collector while Deer- wood will only be a Neighborhood Collector. As presently proposed, however, the Silver Bell extension will have driveways fronting on it and will only include 60' of right of way. A future south entry may be wider and may have less conflicts with driveways. RECOMMENDATION The Silver Bell extension appears to be desirable for the following reasons: 1. It is superior to the Palisade or Davenport access possibilities due to its direct linkage to Blackhawk Road. 2. It is a solution which could be achieved in the near future and have a long term value. 3. Adjustments to the proposed development in Blackhawk Oaks may be necessary to achieve a satisfactory entry road. RESERVATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS 1. Silver Bell should be built as a dedicated street with enough right of way for a trailway along one side at least. 2. The Silver Bell Road extension should be a direct link into the park (with- out excessive curvature or driveway access points). 3. At the point of entry into the park, the road alignment and elevation should be sensitive to its future extension as a park road. 4. A future access off of Deerwood is still desirable. A Deerwood access may actually become the major entry in the future, with the proposed Silver Bell access becoming secondary point of entry. 5. The Palisade and Davenport Roads could continue to provide potential pedestrian and bicycle access from Riverton into the park. MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: JUNE 1, 1984 RE: CHESMAR PARK /NORTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE EASEMENT REQUEST Attached to this memorandum is a letter from Mr. Ray E. Nelson representing Northwestern Bell Telephone Company requesting to locate a small equipment building on ChesMar Park. Location of this building is on the west side of Lexington Avenue. (See attached letter). Northwestern Bell has been trying to locate an area for such a service building to facilitate the rapidly growing telephone needs of the community. This location has been selected as a probable site because of its location and service to residential areas immediately to the south and to the east /west on Wilderness Run Road. One of the requirements for locating of the building is that it be in excess of 1,000 feet away from the NSP overhead powerlines. Further, because a second location is also being sought immediately north of Diffley, a location to the south of the highline is deemed essential. In reviewing the requirements with Mr. Nelson, it appears that there are very few, if any, available alternatives to providing this telephone service. Therefore, Mr. Nelson is approaching the Advisory Parks Recreation Commission for its consent and recommendation to the City Council to lease a portion of park property to allow for construction of this equipment building. Members may recall seeing similar facilities on County Road 30 and also Cliff Road which would be idential in nature to the building being proposed at this location. To assist the Advisory Commission in its determination, the general site and building location has been staked. A visit to the site is being planned as part of the Commission's tour for its viewing. Members may recall that ChesMar Park is an open space area and has not been programmed for active use. There has been discussion and consideration for a trailway along the south shore as a possible future development. It does not appear that the location of this building would interfere with the location or development of this trail at any future date. Once completed, the building will have infrequent use by Northwestern Bell personnel. Traffic and congestion should be relatively minor in nature. However, staff is suggesting that because this is not subject to a preliminary plat application or the requirement of a public hearing, it would be appropriate for Northwestern Bell to contact and meet with nearby residents. This residential meeting will serve to explain the necessity of this facility and its impact upon the neighborhood. It is also staff's suggestion that, if approved, the proposed plan and building location receive appropriate landscaping as a condition of approval. Mr. Nelson has suggested the basis of a lease agreement with options for this parcel. The Commission shall indicate its preference and other conditions of approval should it forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council. MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION DATE: JUNE 1, 1984 RE: PROPOSED THOMAS LK APTS. DOMINIUM GROUP INC BACKGROUND: This department has been in discussion with Mr. Jack Safar who represents Dominium Group Inc. and a proposed apartment complex located off Thomas Lake Road in the Blackhawk Park PUD. This item is still in a preliminary form and has not proceeded to a preliminary plat application. Therefore, there is no engineering or planning report information available on this item. The developer is simply desiring to meet with the Parks Recreation Commission to determine if proposed parkland boundaries can be changed. The site of this development, within the Blackhawk Park PUD, is east of Thomas Lake Road and bounded on the north by the NSP easement /City parkland and to the east by Thomas Lake Park. Members will recall that the City is to receive a substantial amount of parkland within the PUD to include much of the west and north shore of Thomas Lake. At the time of this writing, there are no reductions available to be included in the packet. However, it is proposed that the Commission visit the site prior to the Commission meeting at which time a larger drawing will be avail- able for review. Please be aware that the developer is looking for a preliminary indication by the Advisory Commission, whether the changes in park boundary are acceptable or which modifications would be necessary to meet the objectives of the Commission. Mr. Safar will be available at the Commission meeting to explain in detail the rationale for these proposed modifications. KV /js Finally, it has been, and should be, made clear that other permits, licenses, ordinances, maintenance or other requirements for use of the site, be the responsibility of Northwestern Bell. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the appropriateness of this building and its location on City park property and to authorize a lease agreement with Northwestern Bell. KV /js Attach. Qy E.\ClOQ 7150 Cahill Road •Edine.Minnesota 55435. 612/941 -7707 May 29, 1984 Mr. Ken Vraa Director of Parks City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55121 Dear Mr. Vraa: Northwestern Bell Telephone Company needs to locate a small equip- ment building on Lexington Avenue south of Wilderness Run to meet the growing demand for telephone service in that area. Part of an outlet immediately south of the pond on the west side of Lexington Avenue, which is parkland, would meet this requirement. A parcel about 40 feet by 70 feet would probably be adequate. Northwestern Bell would erect a 17 foot by 17 foot building pic- tured in the enclosed photograph which is the photograph of a simi- lar building located near County Road 30 and Riverton Avenue in Eagan. The building is brickfaced, floating slab construction. A bituminous driveway will provide access. The building does require electricity. The building is unattended and visited only occasion- ally by a technician. It would create no traffic or congestion. I visited the site with Telephone Company engineers and we staked out the approximate location of the building which we viewed in our visit to the site on May 23. When the land is surveyed and the boundary lines have been determined, an exact siting of the build- ing and driveway can be made. Also enclosed is a rough sketch which shows approximately where the building and driveway would be located. A set back of 40 or 45 feet could be maintained. THe Telephone Company would prefer to locate the building closer to the road because of the grade which falls off rapidly to the rear. This would result in a set back of about 25 feet but the building could be screened in front by additional plantings. Would you and the advisory council please consider this possibility? As to the contractual relationship, I would suggest a lease agree- ment. We are presently concluding an arrangement at another loca- tion where the lease will be broken down in 5 five year segments with rents as follows: First five years Second five years Third five years Fourth five years Fifth five years $1000 per year 1500 per year 2000 per year 2500 per year 3000 per year IDEAL ESTATE BI:?OKEQ May 29, 1984 Mr. Ken Vraa Page 2 This totals $50,000. If the City would prefer a one time payment, I would suggest $10,000 which would represent about the present worth of the rentals quoted above. The lease could be for a 15 year initial term with the remaining terms at the option of the Telephone Company. In any case, I am sure we can arrive at a mutually agreeable contract. The Telephone Company will pay for the land survey and will accept full liability for any consequences of its use of the property. I hope this provides enough information for the present time. If you have any further questions, please let me know. Very truly yours, Rai$ E. Nelson REN:TT /wf Oodt iay 24, 1984 The Honorable :•ayor and Ci+r Council of Eagan Ins.
