MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
RE: MARCH 1ST ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING
February 24, 1984
The first item of business on the March 1, 1984 Advisory Commission Agenda
will be the approval of the minutes from the February 2 meeting.
There are five development proposals for the Advisory Commission to review.
A Planner's Report is included for each of these proposed developments.
The first development, Holmes Addition, is for the platting of a one acre
parcel into two single family lots. It is recommended that a cash dedica-
tion requirement be a condition of plat approval.
Rose Hill Addition is in Park Service Section #16 and is north of Blackhawk
Lake. It is also recommended that a cash dedication requirement be a con-
dition of plat approval.
Safari Estates, Second Addition, is in Park Service Section 32. This pro-
posed addition is immediately south and adjacent to Berkshire Ponds. Again,
a cash dedication requirement should be a condition of plat approval.
The fourth development proposal is entitled Oak Cliff Addition. Oak Cliff
is within the Winkler Jackson PUD located in Park Service Section #31W. This
PUD agreement will require a parkland dedication of approximately 4.4 acres
of land which will be combined with a turn back arrangement of property now
owned by MnDot. The park land dedication and turn back will form a neighbor-
hood park within this park service section. The proposed Oak Cliff Develop-
ment, as noted in the Planner's Report, consists of single family homes in
an area which was previously zoned for multiple residential. As outlined
in the PUD Agreement, this park land shall be dedicated with the plat approval
of the first development within this PUD.
The fifth and final development proposal is for Lexington Square by North-
land Mortgage Company. A separate cover memo regarding park land issues with
this proposed development is included in the packet.
OLD BUSINESS
The first item under "Old Business" is the second review of the Meadowland
Park Concept Plans. The department staff has made several revisions which
were suggested at the February Advisory Commission Meeting. These revisions
MARCH 1ST ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING
PAGE TWO
FEBRUARY 24, 1984
will be reviewed with the Advisory Commission to determine a preference
so further work can continue. At this time, cost estimates have not yet
been calculated for the difference in grading as was previously requested.
It is hoped that these figures will be available at the time of the Commission
meeting.
The second item under "Old Business" is park names. The City Council has
reviewed the Commission's recommendations for park naming at its February 7
meeting, accepting the majority of the Commission's recommendations. There
were several park names, however, which were set aside with the Council
requesting additional information. Included in this packet is a memorandum
from the City Administrator relative to this issue which requests additional
comments from the Advisory Commission. Members should be aware that at the
time the names were presented to the City Council on the evening of February 7,
Director of Parks and Recreation was not available to relay the Commission's
reasons for name selection.
NEW BUSINESS
The first item under "New Business" is the termination by the Advisory
Commission of its priorities for Fiscal Year '85 grant application. A
separate memo reviewing potential park sites to be considered for application
is included for your review.
The second item under "New Business" is review of Section #14 park land.
With the impending developments of Lexington Square, areas to the east
of this development can now be accessed to major utility lines. Staff
has already received two inquiries as to the desired park area west of
Wescott Road in Park Service Section #14. Staff would like to review
with the Advisory Commission, the issues involved with this potential
park location so response can be given to the developers who are currently
looking at the land parcels involved. Commission members should be aware
that the City will need to acquire through purchase, additional land to
fulfill the basic neighborhood park needs.
The third and last item scheduled for "New Business" is the discussion of
the '84 Commission objectives. Each year the Advisory Commission has determined
several of its objectives which it would care to work on during the year. With
the possibility of the park bond referendum, it is conceivable that the condit-
ion objectives will be all consuming in this one item. However, staff would
like to suggest that the Commission consider two additional objectives. The
first would be a tour of special use facilities available in other communities.
Previously the Advisory Commission has discussed visiting these facilities
in conjunction with its tours of parks in Eagan and elsewhere. Staff is
suggesting that if there is an interest in seeing special use facilities,
one or two tours could be arranged during the spring and summer months. The
second item for Commission consideration is a recreation program plan. The
recreation sub committee has met during the month of February to begin this
process. The concept of the recreation program plan would be to assess the
needs for recreational programs and develop a planned approach to fulfilling
the recreational needs.

FEBRUARY 24, 1984
OTHER BUSINESS REPORTS
There are four items under "Other Business Reports" for Commission dis-
cussion. The first is a progress report on the Citizen's Task Force which
will have met the Monday preceding the Commission Meeting. The second item
is a report on Sperry Fields. As members are aware, the City has been utiliz-
ing the four softball fields at Sperry for a number of years for its adult
softball program. Recently department staff has been informed that the
growth of softball in the Sperry leagues may require them to restrict the
City's usage of these fields should their expected growth materialize into
the number of teams they anticipate. Staff has met with the representative
of Sperry in regards to this issue and a brief report will be presented to
the Commission.
The sub committee on special issues met on Thursday, February 23, to review
the work of Mr. Roger Sjobeck who is a resident of Eagan and an architect
with the Adkins Associates Inc. which is an architectural firm. Mr. Sjobeck
has done a review of the Kehne House and made a presentation to the sub-
committee concerning the alternatives available for the use of this house.
The sub committee on special issues also reviewed the draft of a policy for
tot lots and play areas which had been previously requested by the Advisory
Commission. The sub committee suggested that the entire Commission discuss
this item and therefore, encloseiwith the packet is a memo addressed to the
sub committee on special issues relative to this item.
The fourth item is the report of the recreation sub committee which met on
February 16. The sub committee made some progress into reviewing currently
offered programs and will again be meeting on March 14 to continue its pro-
cess. A brief report on that meeting will be presented to the Advisory
Commission.
The last item for the Advisory Commission is a review of the field use
policy and field use fees being used by the department. Members may
recall that in March /April of 1983, staff presented modifications to the
field use fee schedule and the field use policy for the Commission's review.
At that time, the Advisory Commission approved of those policies and fee
schedules, but requested that staff place them on the agenda in 1984 to
determine if modifications should be made. The department has not received
any objections to these two documents and therefore, does not see the need
to make any modifications at this time.
As always, should members of the Advisory Commission be unable to attend
the scheduled meeting for Thursday, a call to the office would be appreciated.

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT HOLMES ADDITION
APPLICANT: PAUL HOLMES
LOCATION: PART OF THE NA OF THE NA OF SECTION 10
EXISTING ZONING: R -1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 21, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting
preliminary plat approval, Holmes Addition, consisting of approximate-
ly 1 acre and containing 2 single family lots located in part of the
NWT of the NWT of Section 10, Parcel 10- 01000 020 -29 north of Quarry
Lane and Towerview Road.
COMMENTS
This parcel has been zoned previously to R -1 (Residential Single Dis-
trict) and would allow only single family homes to be developed. The
applicant has submitted an application to split this 1 -acre parcel in-
to two single family lots of which each lot would exceed the 12,000
square foot minimum requirement. Lot 1 would have a 90' lot width
and contain 15,888 square feet net area and Lot 2 would have approx-
imately 174' of frontage and contain 18,780 square feet of net area.
In review of this particular parcel, there appears to have been a high-
way easement granted across this property to provide access to the pro-
perty further to the east and south. In accordance with this easement,
it appears to encumber a 20' area across the front of the property and
run diagonally across the property on the westerly edge. To the south
of this property is a platted subdivision of which Towerview Road has
been dedicated as a half right -of -way. In review of this particular
subdivision, it appears that only a 50' right -of -way would be needed
because the street would only service one or two other properties due
to the location of LeMay's Lake. Therefore, this road is never expect-
ed to be upgraded past a residential street. Consequently, additional
right -of -way would not be required.
In review of this particular subdivision, there appears to be two is-
sues which should be reviewed in relation to this preliminary plat.
The first issue is in regard to a proposed shoreland ordinance. The
shoreland ordinance which the City has been working on for a number
of years is presently up for review by the Advisory Planning Commis-
sion. In this ordinance, it classifies LeMay's Lake as a recreational
development body of water and would require a 75' setback from the
CITY OF EAGAN
PRELIMINARY PLAT HOLMES ADDITION
FEBRUARY 28, 1984
PAGE TWO
high water elevation once the ordinance is adopted. Presently, due to
the configuration of the property and the dedication of the road and
setbacks from the road and the lake, the applicant can only obtain a
50' setback vs. a 75' setback which would be required once the ordi-
nance is adopted. The City has been informed by the property owner
that they have reviewed this with the Department of Natural Resources,
and the Department of Natural Resources does not see a problem with
the 50' setback requirement as proposed.
The other issue regarding setbacks is in regard to the right -of -way
for Towerview Road. If the applicant dedicates the additional 20'
of right -of -way for Towerview Road, the applicant can then only meet
a 20' setback requirement instead of the required 30'. The proposed
house is drawn in accordance with what is proposed to be built, and
a 10' setback variance would be required from this particular set-
back requirement.
The last issue in regard to this plat is that it is the Planning De-
partment's understanding that Lot 2 would require a lift station or
pump in order to get access to sanitary sewer for this particular
lot. The applicant is aware of this, and this would be a requirement
if the plat is approved. Also, presently Towerview Road is not up-
graded to its potential, and the one additional house requires that
the applicant petition to upgrade Towerview Road to its ultimate de-
sign as a residential street, or since only one additional dwelling
unit is being constructed, that the upgrading would not have to occur
at this particular time. This will be an engineering decision and .a
recommendation as to how this street should be addressed.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) Adequate rights -of -way be dedicated for Towerview Road.
2) A 10' front setback variance be granted for Lot 1 and 2 of the
proposed plat.
3) The plat be reviewed by the Department of Natural Resources for
their comments.
4) A park dedication shall be required as requested by the Advisory
Park Commission.
5) All other applicable ordinances be adhered to.

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 1984
SUBJECT: HOLMES ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consid-
eration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
TOPOGRAPHY /DRAINAGE
The existing topography over this proposed development consists of
a side hill sloping to the northeast and LeMay's Lake from an ele-
vation of approximately 908 at the southwest corner of this propos-
ed development to a normal water level of 873 at LeMay's Lake. This
amounts to an average slope of 18 Subsequently, drainage over
this development is to the northeast towards LeMay's Lake. LeMay's
Lake is designated as Pond DP -2 on the City's Master Storm Sewer
Comprehensive Plan and also has a positive outlet control. Further-
more, LeMay's Lake is designated as a DNR protected water. Subse-
quently, staff recommends a detailed grading and erosion control
plan be submitted for approval.
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and water main are located within the intersection
of Towerview Road and Quarry Lane. However, due to the drop in ele-
vation resulting from the existing topography, it is not possible
to serve Lot 2 with a gravity sanitary sewer service line. There
fore, it will be necessary for the owner of this lot to provide a
pump to overcome the elevation difference to dispose of his waste
water. Gravity sanitary sewer service can be provided for Lot 1
provided the basement elevation is no lower than an elevation of
901.
In accordance with City policy, this development will be required
to extend sanitary sewer and water main to the east end of Towerview
Road. This work shall be accomplished in accordance with the City's
Engineering Guidelines.
STREETS
Existing streets providing access to this development consist of
Towerview Road. Towerview Road is a City residential street which
has not yet been improved to City standards east of Pilot Knob Road.
Subsequently, as a condition of final platting, this development
shall provide for the upgrading of Towerview Road to City standards

east of Quarry Lane. Furthermore, since right -of -way has been dedi-
cated by easement to the City, a cul -de -sac should be provided for
turn around purposes at the end of Towerview Road in order to pro-
vide for City maintenance vehicles and emergency vehicles. Unfortu-
nately, in this instance, no feasible method of looping this road-
way exists which necessitates the cul -de -sac.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
The current 20 -foot highway easement for Towerview Road over this
parcel shall be dedicated as public right -of -way.
A 10 -foot utility easement will be required to be dedicated adjacent
all publicly- dedicated right -of -way with a 5' drainage and utility
easement being dedicated adjacent all lot lines. In addition, a
ponding easement shall be dedicated to encompass the high water ele-
vation of LeMay's Lake. An additional easement will be required to
provide the cul -de -sac at the end of Towerview Road.
ASSESSMENTS
This development will be responsible for trunk area water assess-
ments and trunk area storm sewer assessments. These amounts shall
be determined by applying the area rates for each in effect at the
time of final plat approval times the net area of this development.
At 1984 rates, based on net area as shown on the preliminary plat,
this would amount to the following:
Trunk area storm sewer 30,000 sf X $0.045 /sf $1,350.00
Trunk water main 0.69 acres X $1,120 /Ac 773.00
The final assessment amount will be determined from the net area of
Block 1 on the final plat using the rates in effect at the time of
the final plat approval.
All costs associated with installing the public improvements 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 February 28, 1984 meet-
ing.

APPLICANT: HOWARD KYLLO, KYLLO DEVELOPMENT
LOCATION: LOT 1, BLOCK 1, BLACKHAWK HILLS ADDITION
LOTS 1 -4, JON CROFT ACRES SECTIONS 16 17
EXISTING ZONING: R -1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 23, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted request-
ing preliminary plat approval, Rose Hill Addition, consisting of
approximately 12.4 acres and containing 14 single family lots lo-
cated on Lots 1 -4, Jon Croft Acres and Lot 1, Block 1, Blackhawk
Hills Addition in Sections 16 and 17.
COMMENTS
Presently, Mrs. Kyllo lives on the property where proposed Lot 3
of the Rose Hill Addition is located. It is staff's understanding
that Mrs. Kyllo can no longer maintain the property and wishes to
subdivide the property into single family lots.
The application submitted consists of a preliminary plat which would
contain 14 single family lots. Access to 13 of the lots would be
off of Kyllo Lane, via a cul -de -sac constructed on the existing drive-
way. This cul -de -sac would be upgraded to a fullsize City street
and meet all the standards of City street requirements. There is
one lot which is accessible from Blackhawk Hills Circle. The only
issue which may come into effect is that the street or grade is
steep, and it is staff's understanding that the street will be ap-
proximately 8% or less therefore meeting all of the requirements.
All lots exceed the R -1 zoning requirements. They run approximate
ly 1/2 acre or larger. There are only four that are under the half
acre lot size in the proposed plat.
The applicant is also proposing to plat Lot 9 of Rose Hill Addition
because it is property that he does own and did acquire when Black
hawk Hills Addition was constructed. He acquired Lot 9 to make sure
he was able to get sanitary sewer from Blackhawk Hills Addition to
this particular development. Therefore, he is requesting to plat
Lot 9 also in regard to this development request. It is staff's
understanding that there is a covenant in Blackhawk Hills Addition
that all lots must meet 1 acre lot size requirement. The applicant
CITY OF EAGAN
PRELIMINARY PLAT ROSE HILL ADDITION
FEBRUARY 28, 1984

has replatted Lot 9 even though it is an odd shaped configuration of
a parcel, but nevertheless does meet or exceed the 1 -acre lot size
requirement.
In looking at the plat, there are a number of 40' wide strips which
abut the southerly line of the plat. These 40' strips are platted
in order to give different lots access to Blackhawk Lake. That is
the reason for the platting of this configuration.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the follow-
ing conditions:
1) The grade of Knoll Ridge Drive should be within City standards.
2) All other City ordinances shall be met.
DCR /jach
ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
3) A detailed grading and erosion control plan shall be submit-
ted for approval.
4) The water main shall be looped from Kyllo Lane to Blackhawk
Cove.
5) If installed privately, plans and specifications for utility
installation shall be in accordance with the City's Engineer-
ing Guidelines and prepared by a registered engineer.
6) A ponding easement shall be required to incorporate the high
water elevation of Blackhawk Lake over Lots 1 -9.
7) All easements shall be dedicated as required by staff in the
Engineering Report.
8) This development shall be responsible for the deferred storm
sewer assessments as mentioned in the Engineering Report.
9) This proposed development shall be responsible for trunk area
water main and sanitary sewer assessments as a result of cre-
ating 10 additional lots with respect to the original parcel.
10) All costs associated with the installation of public improve-
ments for this development shall be the sole responsibility
of this development.

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
SUBJECT: ROSE HILL ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the
following comments in regard to this proposed development for con-
sideration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
GRADING /TOPOGRAPHY
This site borders Blackhawk Lake on the south and Blackhawk Hills
Addition on the east, and subsequently, is situated over some of
the more rugged terrain in Eagan. The entire site slopes steeply
towards the south and Blackhawk Lake. Slopes over this parcel
range from 100 -30 An elevation difference of approximately 90
feet exists from Kyllo Lane to the normal water level of Blackhawk
Lake. In addition to the rugged terrain, much of this site is
covered by evergreen and hardwood trees.
In grading the lots to provide for buildable sites, several back-
yard slopes will approach 2 :1. Since these slopes are the maximum
allowed by code, staff will recommend strict adherence to an approv-
ed erosion control plan submitted as a condition of final plat ap-
proval. This plan should also incorporate methods of anchoring
vegetative material to prevent washouts prior to the vegetative
materials' growth. Examples of stabilizing these slopes would be
staking and sodding, placing erosion mats such as plastic netting
or wood fiber blankets over seed and mulch or other acceptable
methods of slope stabilization.
Meanwhile, all drainage over this proposed development will remain
towards Blackhawk Lake. Street drainage will be directed to an in-
ternal storm sewer which will be discharged into Blackhawk Lake.
Although Blackhawk Lake is DNR controlled, no permits will be re-
quired as long as the storm sewer outlet is above the normal ordi-
nary high water elevation.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist within the
proximity of this proposed development to provide service to it as
shown on Figure 2. This development has access to an 18" trunk
water main to the north located within Kyllo Lane and a 6" water
main located within Blackhawk Cove. Access to sanitary sewer will
be provided from the existing manhole located within Blackhawk Cove.
This entire area will have to be served by the existing lift sta-
tion in Blackhawk Cove which pumps waste water to the northeast
along Blackhawk Cove to where it discharges to a gravity sanitary
sewer line. This existing sanitary sewer lift station is capable
ENGINEERING REPORT
ROSE HILL ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
FEBRUARY 22, 1984
PAGE TWO
of directing the additional flow from this proposed development to
the gravity sewer within Blackhawk Cove.
Staff recommends the water main be looped from the existing trunk
water main within Kyllo Lane to the existing 6" water main within
Blackhawk Cove as proposed by this development.
If installed privately, plans and specifications for utility in-
stallation shall be in accordance with the City's Engineering Guide-
lines and prepared by a registered engineer. No construction may
begin until final plat approval.
STREETS
An existing street providing access to this parcel is the intersec-
tion of Kyllo Lane and Knoll Ridge Drive. Both streets are under
the jurisdiction of the City and are built to their ultimate design
section of 32' wide bituminous surfaced with concrete curb and gut-
ter.
The access to the interior of this development would be obtained by
extending Knoll Ridge Drive to the south and terminating it by way
of a cul -de -sac. The length of this cul -de -sac is approximately
540 feet which is just under the allowable 550 -foot length as de-
termined by code. The street would be constructed to City standards.
If this street is to be installed privately, then plans and specifi-
cations shall be prepared by a registered engineer in accordance with
the City's guidelines and submitted to the Engineering Department
for approval.
RIGHT -OF -WAY /EASEMENTS
The 50' right -of -way being proposed for the public street will be
adequate as long as this development adheres to its proposed grad-
ing plan. For a 50' publicly- dedicated right -of -way to be feasible
within this rugged topography, it is essential the 10' utility ease-
ments adjacent the right -of -way be graded and cleared of trees as
proposed in the preliminary grading plan. The reason for this is
to provide adequate room for utilities such as gas, electric, tele-
phone and cable television.
In addition to typical dedicated easements along the platted right
of -way and all lot lines, right -of -ways of sufficient width will be
required over all utility lines not located within public right -of-
way. Staff recommends a minimum of a 15' wide easement over all
utility lines except where they are combined as the water and sani-
tary sewer cross the southern boundary of Lot 9. In this instance,
staff recommends a 30' easement be dedicated.

In addition to the utility easements, a ponding easement will be
required to incorporate the high water elevation of Blackhawk Lake
as it affects Lots 1 -9.
ASSESSMENTS
The assessments which will be required to be collected at the time
of final plat approval include storm sewer trunk assessments which
were deferred over Parcels 011 -00, 020 -00, 030 -00 and 040 -00. These
are summarized in the following table:

In addition, Lots 1 -4 of Jon Croft Acres were initially assessed on
a per lot basis for trunk area sanitary sewer and water main. City
assessment policy requires that each subsequent subdivision result-
ing in an additional lot be required to pay a per lot assessment for
trunk area water main and sanitary sewer. Therefore, since this pro-
posed development consists of 14 lots, the trunk area sewer and wa-
ter assessment shall be levied over 10 lots (14 minus 4). These
assessments shall be determined at the rate in effect at the time
of final plat approval. Presently, the 1984 rate on a per lot ba-
sis for these trunk area assessments are $535.00 both trunk san-
itary sewer and trunk water main. The above referenced assessments
will.be the responsibility of this proposed development and may be
either paid at the time of final platting or spread as a special
assessment over this development. Nonetheless, all costs required
for installation of public improvements for this proposed develop-
ment shall be the sole responsibility of this proposed development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail
with the Planning Commission at the February 28, 1984 meeting.

SUBJECT: REZONING PRELIMINARY PLAT SAFARI ESTATES
SECOND ADDITION
APPLICANT: GERALD PEARSON AND BILL DIEDRICH
LOCATION: PART OF THE NA OF THE SA OF SECTION 32
EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 23, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application submitted is a request
to rezone approximately 23.5 acres from A (Agricultural District) to
R -1 (Residential Single District) located in part of the NWT of the
SW d of Section 32.
The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat
approval, Safari Estates Second Addition, consisting of approximate
ly 23.5 acres and containing 41 single family lots located in part
of the NWT of the SW' of Section 32.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the parcel is zoned A (Agricultural) and has not had any
request for zoning in the past. The Comprehensive Guide Plan desig-
nates this particular parcel as R -II (Mixed Residential with a den-
sity of 3 -6 dwelling units per acre). The proposed development con
sists of single family homes which is on the very low end of this
density range.
COMMENTS
The proposed plat is an undeveloped wedge of property between Berk-
shire Pond on the north and existing Safari Estates on the south.
Safari Pass is the access road that this subdivision would use to
gain access to this development. Safari Estates is zoned R -1 (Resi-
dential Single District) and the property to the north is zoned R -1
PD which would allow single family homes which deviate from the nor-
mal single family lot size requirements. Therefore, this proposed
development is a transition between the smaller lots to the north
and the larger lots to the south in this general area.
The one issue which may be brought out is Safari Estates was one of
the last subdivisions that could use the name "Estates" and not have
the Estate zoning. This is the second phase of that, and it may
questioned if the word "Estates" can be used in this Second Addition
if the zoning is R -1 vs. the Estate zoning. Therefore, there may be
CITY OF EAGAN
REZONING PRELIMINARY PLAT SAFARI ESTATES SECOND ADDITION
FEBRUARY 28, 1984
PAGE TWO
some question as to the name of this plat or what name could be used
other than "Estates" in this platting process.
The proposed plat consists of 41 single family lots of which all meet
or exceed the R -1 zoning requirements for lot width and square foot-
age with the exception of three lots.
The plat is proposing to have direct access onto Safari Pass and one
cul -de -sac off of Galaxie Avenue. The second phase will have a road
proposed from Safari Pass running northwesterly to provide access to
the property to the west. In review of this plat, this appears to
be the only place where access can be obtained to the property to the
west to allow for future development. The applicant is also provid-
ing the connection of the street to the north which was platted in
the Berkshire Pond preliminary plat. Therefore, the plat does pro-
vide continuity to this abutting property.
It appears that the main issue is the depth of sanitary sewer and
being able to provide proper sewer connections to the lots cn the
cul -de -sac off of Galaxie Avenue. I believe Engineering is working
with the applicant to provide adequate sewer connections.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) All lots meet or exceed the R -1 zoning criteria for square
footage and lot width.
2) Determination shall be made if "Estates" can be used in the
Second Addition of this proposed plat.
3) All other City ordinances shall be adhered to.
4) If the proposed development is zoned R -1 (Residential Single
District), all lots shall meet the minimum lot size of 12,000
square feet.
ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
5) An overflow outlet from the proposed detention pond within
Block 3 of this proposed development shall be constructed
prior to or concurrent with phase two of this proposed de-
velopment.
6) A detailed grading and erosion control plan shall be submit-
ted for approval by staff.
7) Water main shall be looped from Galaxie Avenue to Safari
Pass through the cul -de -sac.
MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
SUBJECT: SAFARI ESTATES SECOND ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consid-
eration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
The existing topography consists of rolling terrain with two inun-
dated depressions. One depression is located in approximately the
center of this proposed development while only a portion of the
other depression is located along the westerly boundary of this
proposed development. The latter depression is designated as Pond
AP -17 in the Master Storm Sewer Plan as shown on Figure 1. Cur
rently, this pond does not have a controlled outlet. This pond
accepts runoff from storm sewers servicing the Safari Estates area
and a portion of Galaxie Avenue. When constructed, the outlet for
this pond will be to Pond AP -30 which presently does have a con-
trolled elevation. However, most of the drainage over this propos-
ed development will be into the low area located within Block 3.
Subsequently, it will be the responsibility of this development -to
provide a storm sewer outlet to their north line prior to comple-
tion of the development within this area. At this point, it will
connect to a storm sewer constructed by the Berkshire Pond devel-
opment. Subsequently, this low area in Block 3 will eventually be
connected to Pond AP -30.
The proposed grading will not alter the drainage patterns. A de-
tailed grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted prior
to final plat approval for approval by staff.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient, capacity and depth exist within the prox-
imity of this development to provide service to it. Water and san-
itary sewer services are in -place along Safari Pass, or Lots 7 -16
of Block 3. A 20" trunk water main is in -place along Galaxie Ave-
nue to provide service to the cul -de -sac. Sanitary sewer service
will have to be provided from the sanitary sewer constructed with-
in the Berkshire Pond Addition. It will have to be extended south
along Galaxie Avenue to this proposed development.
The timing for installation of utilities for this proposed develop-
ment will depend upon the Berkshire Pond development to its north.
Coordination will be required for the sanitary sewer and also for
the subsequent storm sewer construction for the pond. Water main
constructed for the cul -de -sac will be required to be looped to the

ed guidelines.
9) No direct access will be allowed for Galaxie Avenue.
10) An additional 17' of right -of -way shall be dedicated for Gal
axie Avenue.
11) A ponding easement will be required over Lots 21 -23 to encom-
pass the high water elevation of this pond when determined.
12) All utility and drainage easements shall be dedicated as re-
quired by staff.

privately, plans and specifications shall be prepared by a register-
ed engineer in accordance with City design guidelines and reviewed
by staff.
STREETS
Galaxie Avenue borders this proposed development along the easterly
boundary and Safari Pass borders this proposed development along
its southerly boundary. Galaxie Avenue is presently a community col-
lector street constructed to its ultimate design section of 44 feet,
while Safari Pass is a 32 -foot wide residential street constructed
to its ultimate design section.
Access to Lots 17 -26 of Block 3 will be by way of a cul -de -sac off
of Galaxie Avenue. The cul -de -sac is well within the allowable
length as defined by City Code. It will be required to be construct-
ed to City standards for a 32 -foot residential street.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
This proposed development will be required to dedicate 17 feet of
additional right -of -way for Galaxie Avenue to provide for a 50' half
right -of -way. In addition, a public right -of -way will be required
to be dedicated for the cul -de -sac street. Safari Pass right -of -way
has already been acquired.
In addition to the regular utility easements adjacent public right
of -way and adjacent all lot lines, a ponding easement will be re-
quired over Lots 21, 22 and 23 to encompass an elevation of approx-
imately 930.
ASSESSMENTS
All trunk related assessments have been assessed for this proposed
development. Subsequently, all costs for installation of future
utilities and streets will be the sole responsibility of this de-
velopment.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail
with the Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting of February
28, 1984.

DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted request-
ing preliminary plat approval, Oak Cliff Addition, consisting of
approximately 33 acres and containing 75 single family lots and
9 twinhome lots (18 dwelling units) in part of the WZ of the NWT
of Section 31 lying westerly of Slater's Road.
ZONING AND LAND USE:
Presently, the parcel is zoned PD under the Winkler- Jackson Plan
ned Development. The total acreage in this planned development is
approximately 90 and has a maximum number of dwelling units of 460
to be allowed within this planned development. There is also some
commercial approved on the east side of Slater's Road and just south
of Cliff Road.
The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this entire tract as R -II
(Mixed Residential) with a density of 3 -6 dwelling units per acre.
In review of this particular plan, there is proposed 96 dwelling
units on 33 acres, or a gross density of 2.9 dwelling units per
acre. Therefore, this particular plan is within the guidelines of
the R -II, however, the Winkler Jackson Planned Development would
supersede the Land Use Plan because', of the contract in effect with
the City for this particular area.
COMMENTS
In July, 1982, the applicant entered into a planned development
agreement, the Winkler- Jackson Planned Development which consisted
of approximately 90 acres and allowed some Limited, Commercial and
Neighborhood Business use along with a maximum density of 460 dwell-
ing units to be constructed in this 90 -acre tract. This planned
development is in effect for five years and will terminate in 1987.
In review of this particular agreement in regard to the density
factor as to whether this revised site plan requires an amendment
to the planned development or whether this be permitted within the

context of the development agreement, in the density section of
Paragraph 6 of the planned development agreement, it relates to
the maximum density allowed of 460 dwelling units which cannot be
exceeded within the Winkler- Jackson Planned Development. The last
paragraph in the density section of the planned development agree-
ment states that the developer has the sole discretion to develop
at a lower density than what has been approved in the planned de-
velopment agreement. Therefore, it is staff's interpretation that
the planned development spells out the option that the developer
is developing at a lesser density, therefore, no amendment to the
planned development agreement is required.
As you may recall in 1983, there was a preliminary plat submitted
for a small portion of this area to be developed as townhouses and
an overall concept as to how this outlot could develop in an over
all townhouse theme and shifting the balance, or the 102 -104 dwell-
ing units not constructed (the maximum allowed), to Outlot A for
a garden apartment condominium. This concept was approved with the
details to be reviewed when that phase of the plan develops.
It is staff's understanding that the plan mentioned in the paragraph
above is no longer the intention of the applicant or developer.
Since the plan was approved, it had been determined that the pro-
ject is unfeasible to construct due to the costs of the project.
Therefore, the applicant has withdrawn the original preliminary
plat and has now submitted a new preliminary plat changing the use
and developing at the lower density than what was originally approv-
ed.
The plat submitted for the February 28, 1984 Advisory Planning Com-
mission meeting would consist of approximately 33 acres and would
contain 75 single family lots and 9 twinhome lots (18 units) for a
total of 96 dwelling units. The applicant has also submitted in
concept form that an additional 34 townhouse units be constructed
north of the existing plat and also that Outlot A remain as a 102-
104 dwelling unit garden apartment area. The total density for this
plat would now be at 231 dwelling units, or 77 dwelling units less
than what was originally approved.
In review of the single family portion of the development, the ap-
plicant is proposing to construct 75 single family lots of which
all lots meet the minimum 12,000 square foot lot size requirement
and a minimum of 85' lot width at the 30' setback. Therefore, the
single family portion of the plat meets all R -1 zoning standards
and conformswith the R -1 lot size requirements. The applicant has
also met all of the square footage and lot width requirements for
the R -2 lots which would be 9 lots or 18 dwelling units. These
lots would be at the very northerly edge of the plat being a buffer
between the townhouse or higher density and the single family de-
velopment.

PRELIMINARY PLAT OAK CLIFF
FEBRUARY 28, 1984

The applicant is proposing to provide a curvilineal loop street de-
sign to provide access to the single family lots. The applicant is
proposing two accesses to Slater's Road one stub street connection
to the south and one cul -de -sac which would separate the single fami-
ly use from the townhouse use on the very northwesterly portion of
the plat. There has been some discussion in regard to connecting
this cul -de -sac and providing a looped street north and running
through the townhouse portion to Slater's Road. However, due to
the topography or elevation difference and land use difference, it
appears that it would be more suitable to provide the cul -de -sac
than to provide the through street Connection.
In reviewing this preliminary plat, there appears to be one factor
which becomes a problem in platting this particular property. Pre
sently, the property is recorded under the Torrens system, and once
you begin to plat Torrens property, you have to convert the entire
tract from the Torrens description into outlots in order to keep
track of the entire parcel. Once the outlots have been establish-
ed, then each of the outlots can then be resubdivided into a lot
and block configuration. However, you cannot take just a portion
of this plat and convert it to lots and blocks and leave the rest
as Torrens or unrecorded property. Therefore, the applicant is
platting 14.58 acres into lots and blocks which would consist of
the first phase of the development containing 31 single family lots
and 8 twinhome lots (16 dwelling units). Even though the entire
tract is being set up in outlots, the plat is only consisting of
the lots and blocks mentioned in this paragraph. The second phase
would be the remainder or 50 single family lots and one twinhome
lot (2 dwelling units) which would be Outlot A of the proposed plat.
Outlots B and C and F are the other outlots which have been estab-
lished and would develop in the townhouse or higher density as agreed
to in the planned development agreement. Outlots D and E are the two
commercial outlots which would then be replatted once the applicant
starts the commercial portion of the development plan.
If approved, the preliminary plat and planned development shall be
subject to the following conditions:
1) The total density on the planned development shall be reduced
by 77 dwelling units for the Outlot B portion or the area west
of Slater's Road. The new density number for this area west
of Slater's Road should be 231 dwelling units total vs. the
56.56 acres X 5.5 dwelling units per acre.
2) All lots being platted shall meet the minimum R -1 and R -2
zoning standards.
3) The 34 townhouse units proposed on the north be approved
only in concept and that a detailed review will be done at
the time this area is platted.

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
SUBJECT: OAK CLIFF ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consid-
eration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
The existing topography of this proposed development is very hilly
and wooded. Slopes range from 2% to 25%. Most of this area is
well drained with the general drainage being towards the north in-
to Pond AP -10 as shown in Figure 1. However, due to its hilly na-
ture, there are two small depressions located in the proximity of
Lot 9, Block 2 and Lot 5, Block 4. Presently, Pond AP -10 does not
have any outlet to control the water elevation. The Master Drain-
age Plan indicates a lift station will be required to pump excess
storm water to the southeast into Pond AP -19 which does have a
positive outlet.
The proposed grading for this development will not significantly
alter any existing drainage patterns. It will, however, utilize
the previously mentioned depressions as storm water detention ponds.
This is acceptable providing outlets to these ponds are constructed.
Furthermore, due to the steep slopes found over this area, a detail-
ed grading and erosion control plan must be submitted for review
and approval by staff.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, depth and capacity exist within the
proximity of this proposed development to service it. A 12" trunk
water main is in place along Slater's Road from Cliff Road midway
to this property where it then turns into an 8" water main along
the remaining portion of this property. Sanitary sewer is repre-
sented by an 8" line in place along Slater's Road from Cliff Road
to approximately the midpoint of this parcel. Also, an 8" sani-
tary sewer is available at the intersection of James Street and
Slater's Road. Storm sewer is provided along Slater's Road from
the south boundary of this proposed development to approximately
600' north. The relationship of these existing utilities is more
clearly illustrated in Figure 2. It should be noted that the storm
sewer previously mentioned is designed to handle only the runoff
for Slater's Road, and it does not include runoff from this devel-
opment.
ENGINEERING REPORT
OAK CLIFF ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
FEBRUARY 22, 1984
PAGE TWO
All internal utilities will be the responsibility of this develop-
ment to provide. In addition to the sanitary sewer and water main,
it will be this development's responsibility to install storm sewer
outlets to the previously mentioned depressions they are intending
to utilize as detention ponds. The outlets for these ponds must be
directed towards Pond AP -10 since the storm sewer in Slater's Road
is not sized to accommodate any additional flows other than off the
immediate roadway.
STREETS
Slater's Road is the existing street which provides access to this
parcel. It is under the City's jurisdiction and has been construct-
ed to its ultimate 44 -foot wide community collector street design.
Cliff Road (County Road 32) borders the northern boundary of this
parcel and is under the jurisdiction of Dakota County. Subsequent-
ly, no access would be provided off of it.
Access to the residential portion of this proposed development is
via internal streets off of Slater's Road. The internal street
layout is well conceived to provide for traffic movement and future
access to the south. However, in our never ending quest to elimi-
nate all dead -end streets such as proposed for the townhouse area,
staff recommends eliminating the cul -de -sac in the residential area
and extending the street to the north through the townhouse area
and subsequently connecting to Slater's Road. Although the topogra-
phy between the townhouse development and the residential develop-
ment is rather difficult, it would not be prohibitive from making
this connection. Subsequently, staff believes any disadvantages
caused by construction would outweighed by the advantage of provid-
ing two accesses to the proposed townhouse development, since it
would eliminate an approximately 1,000 -foot dead -end private street.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
All right -of -way has been provided for Slater's Road and Cliff Road.
Right -of -way shall be dedicated within this plat for all public
streets and shall be a minimum of 60 feet.
In addition to the regular utility easements adjacent public right-
of -way and lot lines, a ponding easement shall be dedicated for
Pond AP -10 and the two small detention ponds previously mentioned.
A 20 -foot utility easement will be required to be centered over the
lot line between Lots 1 and 2 of Block 4 and a 15 -foot utility ease-
ment to be centered over the lot lines between Lot 5 and 6 of Block
6 should the extention of the public street not be approved by the
Planning Commission. In addition, utility and drainage easements
of sufficient width shall be provided over the lot lines which are
utilized for the installation of storm sewer laterals for this de-
velopment.

ASSESSMENTS
All trunk related assessments have been levied over this parcel.
However, the trunk area assessment for storm sewer was assessed
at the single family rate and should be upgraded to the multi
family rate for the townhouse portion. This may be accomplished
at the time of development of phase three. Otherwise, all costs
for internal utilities and streets will be the sole responsibili-
ty of this development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the
Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting of February 28,
1984.

TRAILS ISSUES:
PARK RELATED ISSUES:
February 24, 1984
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION LEXINGTON SQUARE
The City staff has received a preliminary plat application for Lexington
Square from Northland Mortgage Company. (See attached planner's report).
Lexington Square is part of the Lexington South Planned Unit Development
and therefore, there shall be no park dedication required. However, there
are a number of issues within the proposed development which bear review
by the Advisory Commission as it relates to trails and the developments
impact upon Northview Athletic Fields.
Consistent with City policy, with the upgrading of Wescott Road a bituminous
trailway and sidewalk shall be installed along Wescott Road.
Northview Park Road is proposed as being a neighborhood collector street.
The Engineering Department has determined that this road width will re-
quire a 70' road right -of -way with a 44' wide street. In addition, there
shall be an 8' wide bituminous pathway on the south side of the road within
the road right -of -way.
The Eagan Park System Plan identified a trail connection within the 50'
wide north -south NSP trail easement. Therefore, it would be appropriate
as a condition of plat approval to require a 20' wide trail easement within
the NSP powerline easement for a possible future trail. This trail easement
may not be necessary dependent upon future road construction. The City's
comprehensive guide plan for major thoroughfares indicates that there should
be a north -south roadway east of the NSP powerline sometime in the future.
Should this roadway actually come about, a trailway may be extended along
this new north -south roadway, thus eliminating the need for the trailway
being required with this plat.
The Director of Parks and Recreation, reviewing the proposed plat, has
several concerns as it relates to the impact upon Northview Park. These
concerns have been discussed with the Director of Public Works who has
taken steps to mitigate these impacts.
The first concern was relative to the alignment and road right -of -way
requirements for the Northview Road. Currently there is a 66' road
right -of -way which ends at the northwest corner of the park. From this
point to the east, there is only a 33' half right -of -way which lies
entirely within the proposed Lexington Square Development. Northview Park
has not dedicated any roadway easement at this time. Consequently, a road
PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION LEXINGTON SQUARE
PAGE TWO
FEBRUARY 24, 1984
right -of -way will be required from the City parks to facilitate the
construction of Northview Park Road along the entire north boundary
line of the existing park. Northview Park Road will be designated as
a neighborhood collector street. Originally, a 40' half road right -of-
way would have been required. Thus, the City would have had to dedicate
40' of roadway which would have placed the outfield fences of the softball
field complex approximately 1.9' away from the road right -of -way or approxi-
mately 19' from the back of the curb. It is now the understanding of the
Director of Parks and Recreation that the road right -of -way required will
be 70', thus requiring a 35' roadway dedication by the City Parks Department.
Further, the roadway will be shifted 10' to the north to accomodate the 8'
wide bituminous trailway. This reduction in road right -of -way and shifting
of the road to the north by 10' will place the outfield fences approximately
30' back from the road curb. The 8' bituminous trail will be within this
30' space. There remains some concern, however, for the amount of space
available for plant and screening material. Inasmuch as homes will now
front Northview Park, reasonable steps to screen the ballfield fences and
the activities of the park from these homes with plant material should be
taken.
The second concern staff has with the preliminary plat is with the storm
water drainage from the plat. Drainage with the first two phases of the
proposed plat would drain to the north and not affect the City park. How-
ever, with the development of the third phase as is currently shown, a
drainage from a portion of this development is shown to go north to North
view Park. As members know, the small pond within the park area is currently
flooded during the spring snow melt and rain. With the addition of additional
runoff being directed to this pond from the development, it is likely that
this pond would be in a state of constant flooding rendering the parking
area useless until a storm water lift station could be constructed.
The Director of Public Works has indicated to me that the third phase of
the development will be required to divert its storm water runoff to the
north, rather than through the park property.
The staff would review the areas of concern previously mentioned as well as
other factors which will impact the final development of Northview Athletic
Fields. After discussion, it would be appropriate for the Commission to
make its recommendations to the City Council relative to trails as a con-
dition of plat approval and its concerns relative to this plat.

APPLICANT: RONALD C. HELlER, NORTHLAND MORTGAGE CO.
LOCATION: PART OF THE NW4 OF SECTION 23
EXISTING ZONING: PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE LEXINGTON
SOUTH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKL,E, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted request-
ing a preliminary plat, Lexington Square, which consists of approx-
imately 132.11 acres and would contain 372 single family lots which
deviate from the R -1 zoning standards located in part of the NW4 of
Section 23 south of Wescott Road, east of Lexington Avenue (County
Road 43) and north of Northview Park Road.
ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently, the parcel is zoned R -II (Mixed
Residential) with a density of 3 -6 dwelling units per acre under
the Lexington South Planned Development. This parcel was amended
for a change from R -III (Mixed Residential with a density of 6 -12
dwelling units per acre) to R -II (Mixed Residential with a density
of 3 -6 dwelling units per acre)in February, 1984. The proposed Land
Use Guide also designates this parcel as R -II (Mixed Residential
with a density of 3 -6 dwelling units per acre).
The proposed plan contains 2.82 dwelling units per gross acre and
3.72 dwelling units per net acre. Therefore, the proposed plan is
consistent with the low range of bdth the existing zoning and the
proposed Land Use Guide Plan.
COMMENTS
The application submitted is a preliminary plat of 372 single fami-
ly lots. The proposed single family lots deviate from the R -1 zon-
ing standards. The smallest lot size proposed is 7,000 square feet
and the average lot size is 11,707 square feet. There are 25 lots
which meet both the R -1 square footage requirement and lot width
requirement at the 30' setback line. Therefore, there are approxi-
mately 350 single family lots which deviate mostly in lot width and
slightly in lot area from the R -1 !zoning standards.
TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
As stated earlier, the plat abuts Lexington Avenue on the west and
Wescott Road on the north. Both roads are major collector streets
and would allow limited access to this development. The proposed
CITY OF EAGAN
PRELIMINARY PLAT LEXINGTON SQUARE
FEBRUARY 28, 1984
PAGE TWO
plat contains a curvilineal design where lots have double frontage
on Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road. The Northview Park Road on
the south was originally proposed to also have double frontage or
limited access. However, due to definition, it is suggested that
Northview Park Road be a neighborhood collector street which would
allow direct access to this particular road. In review of the Sub-
division Ordinance, this road then could have a proposed right -of-
way of 66 feet vs. the 80 feet being dedicated.
Also, in review of the definition of roads in the plat, Savannah
Road could also be reduced from a 60' right -of -way to a 50' right
of way which would define a local interior street. The applicant
is proposing two access points off Lexington Avenue and one access
point off Wescott Road. The internal circulation is a curvilineal
design that loops 6 cul -de -sacs to provide access to the 132
acres. The applicant is also providing two stub streets to the
east. Staff may suggest that an additional stub street be provid-
ed south of Kettle Creek Court for development opportunities for
the property to the east.
The one item staff would like to point out at this time is again
in regard to Northview Park Road. In the past, the City has been
requiring that an 80' right -of -way be dedicated and limited access
to this road be the standard for the community or interior collect-
or. This road would provide the same function as Wilderness Run
Road, Covington Lane, and Thomas Lake Road which have all been con-
structed to these standards with limited or restricted access. This
Northview Park Road provides the same spacing requirement as in the
past, however, we are now indicating that this road be defined as a
neighborhood collector and would allow direct access to this type
of roadway. The benefit in allowing direct access to this neighbor-
hood collector is that it eliminates approximately 30 lots from hav-
ing double frontage or constructing a road which cannot be used by
a particular subdivision. Therefore, a policy question is being
reviewed and looked at, and it is suggested that the half mile, or
interior collector streets, be labeled or defined as neighborhood
and would allow direct access to these collector streets. Also, ac-
cording to Chapter 13 of the Eagan City Code, a neighborhood collect-
or would only then require a 66 -foot right -of -way dedication vs. the
80 feet which is being proposed.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
In this proposed plat, there were two exceptions. The first excep-
tion was in the approximate center of the development proposal.
This exception has now been changed to an outlot, or labeled Outlot
A in the plat. The applicant has worked with the property owner of
Outlot A and has determined how Outlot A could be developed in the
future in accordance with this development plan. As you can see, a
sketched in area as to how Outlot A could be subdivided has been
shown to maximize the use and conform with the surrounding develop-
ment.
CITY OF EAGAN
PRELIMINARY PLAT LEXINGTON SQUARE',
FEBRUARY 28, 1984
PAGE THREE
The second issue is in regard to the exception in the northwest cor-
ner of the plat. It is staff's understanding that this exception
has been sold to a church and would', develop at a later date. At the
present time the zoning or use has ',not been approved by the City,
but the acreage has been sold to the church prior to platting the
property. Secondly, is if and when the church does propose devel-
opment, we will seeing direct access from Lexington Avenue and Wes-
cott Road to this facility. Therefore, the use would be isolated
from this particular development.
In review of the topography and vegetation, the area has a fairly
flat or barely rolling topography which would allow for the smaller
lot configuration. Also, the veget tion on the site is farmland
which has been farmed, and that iegetation or trees are scarce
or scattered slightly throughout the development. Therefore, topog-
raphy and vegetation would not be a hindrance to this type of devel-
opment request.
In regard to this proposed plat, the Planning Commission will have
to review this plat in regard to the criteria set up for reviewing
the smaller lots or lots which deviate from the R -1 standards in
regard to topography and vegetation general location and surround-
ing land uses, and the proposed grading plan showing the type of
unit and unit elevation on each of the lots noting that each lot
will support a dwelling unit. It should be noted that if this plan
is accepted, that this grading and house -type plan will be part of
the development contract and held to in regard to type of house on
the lots proposed.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) The plat should be subject to Dakota County Plat Commission's
review and comment because the plat abuts a County road.
2) No variances for setback or lot', coverage shall be allowed ex-
cept for topographic and vegetation reasons.
3) The City approve the policy on neighborhood collector streets.
4) Lot size deviations be approved'in accordance with the prelim-
inary plat submitted. The proposed building plans meet all
of the setback requirements of the R -1 zoning district.
5) An additional access be provided to the east somewhere south
of Kettle Creek Court or extend Kettle Creek Court east for
an additional access.
6) All other City Code requirements shall be adhered to.

DATE:
FEBRUARY 23, 1984
SUBJECT: LEXINGTON SQUARE ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consid-
eration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
TOPOGRAPHY /DRAINAGE
THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
This proposed development is located east of Lexington Avenue and
south of Wescott Road in Section 23. The existing topography con-
sists of rolling farmland. The slopes over this topography range
from 2% to 40%. Subsequently, grading affecting any of the steep
slopes must strictly adhere to a grading and erosion control plan
submitted to and approved by staff. This proposed development is
located within Drainage District J which is further subdivided in-
to minor drainage districts as depicted in Figure 1. Drainage from
approximately the northern 2/3 of this proposed development is to
be directed into trunk storm sewer which eventually outlets into
Pond JP -11 (Hurley Lake). A positive outlet control is presently
being constructed for this pond. Since no trunk storm sewer fac-
ilities exist within this proposed development, it will be neces-
sary to construct the necessary trunk lines east from Lexington
Avenue to Pond JP -30 which is located within the northeast portion
of this proposed development.
According to the Storm Sewer Master Plan, approximately the southern
1/3 of this proposed development is to be drained to the south. How-
ever, this proposes a problem since the pond which is to accommodate
this runoff is located within the City park as Pond JP -34. This pond
presently has no positive outlet and floods during heavy rainfalls.
Therefore, staff does not recommend adding any additional runoff from
future developed areas to this pond until an outlet for this pond is
constructed. At this time, there are no plans for such construction.
Subsequently, in order to develop phase two and three of this propos-
ed development, the drainage water will have to be redirected to the
north and to Pond JP -30, if this development wishes to pursue its
aggresive development schedule. Other than possibly adjusting the
outflow from Pond JP -30, this redirection of runoff will not cause
any downstream problems since JP -11 is its ultimate designation.
UTILITIES
At this time, the only utility existing in proximity of this pro-
posed development is a 12" trunk water main at the intersection of
Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue. However, Project 361 has been
approved and bids will soon be accepted for construction of a trunk

sanitary sewer to the west line of the Westbury Addition, west of
Lexington Avenue. Project 396 has been approved and plans and spec-
ifications are being prepared for bidding purposes to extend this
sanitary sewer trunk line to Lexington Avenue to provide service to
this proposed development. In addition, Project 396 also provides
for trunk storm sewer from JP -11 (Hurley Lake) to Lexington Avenue
to provide for trunk storm sewer facilities for this proposed de-
velopment.
All internal utilities, with the exception of City installed trunk
water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer, will be the sole responsi-
bility of this development. If these utilities are to be install-
ed privately, then plans and specifications must be prepared by a
registered engineer in accordance with City design guidelines
and submitted to staff for approval. As per City policy, all
interior water mains shall be looped. No dead -end water mains will
be allowed unless they will be utilized for future extensions.
STREETS
Wescott Road borders this proposed development along the north,
Northview Park Road borders the westerly half of this proposed de-
velopment along the south, and Lexington Avenue borders this pro-
posed development along the west. Wescott Road is presently a
gravel surfaced road 24' wide. In the City's Master Thoroughfare
Plan, Wescott Road is designated to be a minor arterial road, 52'
wide with no direct access. Northview Park Road is designated on
the Master Thoroughfare Plan as a neighborhood collector road.
Presently, it is gravel road with a thin layer of seal coat over
it. As a neighborhood collector street, Northview Park Road will
be 44' wide.
Staff recommends revising the internal street layout to eliminate
the Danbury Court cul -de -sac and extend it through to Stony Point
Road. Similarly, the Kettle Creek Court cul -de -sac should be elim-
inated and extended to the east property line to provide the access
point requested by the City Planner in his report. The remaining
cul -de -sacs appear to be necessary evils since they are not as read-
ily adaptable into through streets as the two previously mentioned
cul -de -sacs were.
All interior streets shall be constructed to City standards
for a 32' wide residential street. Due to the status of Wescott
Road and Northview Park Road as minor arterial and neighborhood
community streets respectively, City policy will require this
development to be responsible for construction of both trailways.
The bituminous pathway required for Lexington Avenue is the
responsibility of the development to the west, Westbury Addition.
Also, a 5' concrete sidewalk along the east side of Lexington
Avenue will be the responsibility of this development.

RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
A 50' half public right -of -way will be required to be dedicated for
Wescott Road. A 55' half right -of -way will be required to be dedi-
cated for Lexington Avenue. A 35' half right -of -way will be requir-
ed to be platted for Northview Park Road. Savannah Road and Danbury
Trail shall have 60' platted right -of -ways while the remaining
streets shall have 50' platted right -of -ways. In addition to the
regular 10' utility easements adjacent public right -of -way and the
5' drainage and utility easements adjacent all lot lines, a ponding
and utility easement will be required over Pond JP -30 to incorporate
the high water elevation. Also, 20' utility easements will be re-
quired over all utility lines not within public right -of -way.
Furthermore, a 25' slope easement will be required adjacent Lexing-
ton Avenue to incorporate any future grading limits required as a
result of the upgrading of Lexington Avenue. Finally, a 15' trail
way easement shall be provided within the 50' NSP easement along
the east boundary of this proposed development.
ASSESSMENTS
No trunk area assessments have been levied on this parcel as of yet.
Subsequently, unless a pending assessment is initiated by Council
action in approving -a project to provide this proposed development
with trunk utilities prior to or at the time of final platting, then
it shall be this development's responsibility to pay those trunk re-
lated assessments. Likewise, if the improvements of Northview Park
Road and trail are not initiated by Council action prior to final
platting, then this development shall be responsibility for those
assessments. Nevertheless, this development shall be responsible
for the assessments for the trail along Wescott Road at the time of
final platting. All assessments shall be determined at the rate in
effect at the time of final plat approval.
The costs of all public improvements, with the exception of trunk
related improvements, shall be the sole responsibility of this de-
velopment. The costs for improving Wescott Road will be the re-
sponsibility of the major street fund for the reason that City assess-
ment policy does not allow for assessing single family residential
areas for streets on which no direct access is granted.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail
with the Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting of February
28, 1984.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
MEMO TO: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
FROM: THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 24, 1984
SUBJECT: NAMING OF PARK LANDS /CITY OF EAGAN
In official action that was taken by the Eagan City Council
at a regular meeting held on Tuesday, February 7, 1984, 14 parks
were renamed in accordance with the recommendation for renaming
the parks as set forth by the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission. Those parks include: Oak Chase Park, Thomas Lake
Park, Carnelian Park, Cinnamon Park, Country Home Park, O'Leary
Park, Fish Lake Park, Berry Patch Park, Pilot Knob Park, Ridgecliff
Park, Walnut Hill Park, Wescott Station Park, Woodhaven Park,
and Meadowland Park. The City Council excluded from their official
authorization of park names six (6) other park lands and are
suggesting to the Parks and Recreation Commission alternative
names for those parks. The following lists the park land names
as recommended by the Advisory Commission, immediately followed
by a new name as a suggestion from the City Council:
1) Downing Athletic Fields
2) Stonecutter's Park
3) Robber's Ravine Park
4) Barley Corn Park
5) Logger's Trail
6) Trapp Farm Park
Northview Athletic Fields
Quarry Park
Ravine Park
Moonshine Park
Highline Trail
There was no recommendation, however, the City Council felt
there might be family tension if Schwanz, Trapp, or some other
family name is used for this property. If a family name is
to be used, it should clearly be the name of the family who
either originally settled the property or has had ownership
to the property longer than any other family.)
The City Council appreciates the work the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission has put into the renaming of the park
land and was especially excited about the creativity in using
unique names. The main reason for changing two of the park
land names back to the original, Northview and Highline, is
due to the community -wide name recognition of those two parks,
much the same as Carnelian Park. The reason for changing Robber's
Ravine Park was basically a feeling that the word, "Robber's
might not provide a good connotation throughout the community
and, furthermore, the name is quite lengthy. The reason for
changing Barley Corn to Moonshine is one of identification.
The City Council concluded that a majority of people using the
park might not associate Barley Corn with the making of alcohol,
whereas, Moonshine more clearly defines historical significance
of an activity that once occurred in that park.

The minutes that were drafted by the Assistant City Attorney
at the February 7 City Council meeting are in error and will
be corrected at the next City Council meeting. The City Council
is suggesting that the Parks and Recreation Commission re- examine
the naming of the six (6) parklands that were not changed by
official action of the City Council. Please make that correction
to the Parks Recreation Commission members at your next regular
meeting.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 1984
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 1985 LAWCON /LCMR PARK GRANTS
At the February meeting of the Advisory Parks Recreation Commis-
sion, staff made a brief presentation on possible changes for
the fiscal year 1985 LAWCON /LCMR Grants program. Although the
Metropolitan Council has not adopted its final review criteria,
it would be appropriate for the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission to determine its priorities for grant applications
to insure that these applications can be submitted on a timely
basis. Therefore, staff has prepared the following information
relative to potential park sites for your consideration.
1. Coachman Park In 1979 the City received an acquisition
grant to acquire a portion of now Coachman Park. This
grant was awarded to the City under the entitlement
of a community athletic complex for Section 9. The
amount of the grant award to the City was for $99,000.
Of this amount approximately $33,000 was of state LCMR
funds. Because there is a $200,000 maximum award for
LCMR funds to any single project, there remains at
least $170,000 of funding which can still be sought
for development of the this park area. The working
proposal currently being reviewed for a possible park
bond referendum, indicates that Coachman Park's development
would cost approximately $220,000, thus making it eligible
for the funding under the LCMR /LAWCON cost haring formula.
2. Schwanz Lake Park The designation of Schwanz Lake
Park as a community park may give this park area some
priority for grant funding. However, there are three
identifiable problems at this time which may affect
the awarding of funds to the City for this park. These
three problems are as follows: 1) the City does not
currently own the property although it has been designated
for acquisition under the Lexington South PUD. Assuming
that Mr. Curry follows through with his intentions
of deeding this property to the City by October of
1984, this concern will be eliminated; 2) there remains
approximately 1.4 acres of additional shoreline aquisition
from three private property owners whose lot lines
touch upon the south shore of Schwanz Lake. This aquisi-
tion was noted in the systems plan study. Should the
determination be made that a grant should be submitted
for Schwanz Lake Park for development, direction should
be given to the City Attorney's office to proceed with
negotiations for purchase of this land. Acquisition
costs could become a part of the grant application
under a combined development /acquisition proposal;
DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION /ADVISORY COMMISSION
February 23, 1984
Page 2
3) Access to Schwanz Lake Park is to be from the proposed
future South Wescott Hills Drive. Because the timing
of this road construction is uncertain, it may affect
the ranking of the grant. This can be somewhat mitigated
by the inclusion of a temporary access road on the
alignment of the future road bed. Including the optional
shelter building for Schwanz Lake, development costs
are estimated at $390,000. Under current formulas
and at this grant maximum, the City could receive a
total of $150,000 assuming sufficiently high rankings.
3. Capricorn Park Capricorn Park has been designated
as a quasi community park facility under the park system
plan. Estimated cost for the development of this facility
is $460,000. Like Schwanz Lake, assuming high enough
grant ranking, the City could expect to receive as
much as $150,000 toward these development costs. Capricorn
Park, because of its size, service area, accessibility
by major roadways, as well as site suitability, lends
itself toward being ranked as a significant project.
4. Rahn Park Staff has considered the Phase 2 approach
to the development of the athletic fields at Rahn Park.
However, the City has already received, under the previous
acquisition and Phase 1 development grant, $170,000.
Current guidelines prohibit more than $200,000 maximum
for any single project and, therefore, would limit
the City to receiving only an additional $30,000 toward
the Phase 2 development.
5. Thomas Lake Park /Blackhawk Park The Director of Parks
and Recreation has been approached by Mr. Ed Dunn to
determine the interest of the City in acquiring, through
purchase, the parkland designated under the existing
PUD's for dedication, and in the case of Blackhawk Park,
the offer to sell additional land to the south of Black
hawk Lake. Under the proposal to acquire through purchase
parkland shown to be dedicated under the PUD agreement,
the City would acquire the land with a grant application
allowing the City to have earlier control of the property
and then reinstating a cash dedication requirement
on the adjacent land parcel which would generate future
cash dedication fees exceeding the City's share in
the cost acquisition procedure. This would be similar
to acquisition of designated park property along Blackhawk
Lake.
Staff has a concern for the rankings of acquisition applications
at this time as the ranking criteria is now heavily weighted
toward development type projects. Staff has been considering
DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION /ADVISORY COMMISSION
February 23, 1984
Page 3
a possible development project for Thomas Lake Park but without
acquisition of the property or acquisition pending, it is very
unlikely the City would receive approval of a grant application.
The Advisory Commission should make a determination of which
grant applications it would like to have submitted for the fiscal
year '85 grant cycle. Members should keep in mind that it may
now submit more than one grant application. Members must also
keep in mind that matching funds will be required by the City
should the grants be awarded to any one or all of the projects
submitted. There is insufficient funding within the park site
fund to cover these matching costs and could only be made available
through a successful parks bond referendum or special assessment
levy.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Advisory Parks and Recrea-
tion Commission is asked to select for recommendation to the
City Council,, grants to be submitted for 1985.

MEMO TO: Subcommittee on Special Issues, Advisory Parks and
Recreation
FROM: Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation
DATE: February 22, 1984
SUBJECT: Tot Lots /Play Areas
Background
The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission on February 2,
1984, requested that the Subcommittee on Special Issues review
and /or develop a policy for tot lots and play areas in condominiums
and multiple housing areas. The staff has initiated a preliminary
study of the issue and has the following information to report.
A review of the District #196 population statistics indicates
that there are 3.4 individuals per single family home, duplex
2.4, and quads /townhomes at 1.9 individuals per residence.
In addition, these school census figures indicate that there
is approximately .65 children of pre and school age for multiple
dwelling units. There are no records which indicate number
of children by the number of bedrooms per living unit.
Staff has also conducted informal telephone survey of developments
within Eagan. Duckwood Trails apartments, Coachman Oaks and
Carriage Hills resident managers were contacted to ascertain
the makeup of its residents. Resident managers indicated that
they did not have an accurate count of the number of children
within their living units. Most, however, cited "very few children"
were in their complexes.
Contact has also been made with nearby communities inquiring
if they had a policy or practice for requiring tot lots or play
areas in multiple dwelling units. These communities indicated
that they have not approached the multiple dwelling units with
such a practice or policy.
Issues To Be Considered
It would seem that the Advisory Commission should consider the
following issues when determining whether a tot lot or play
area should be required in multiple dwelling areas.
1. Total number of units
2. The number of bedrooms within the units
3. Proximity to neighborhood park facilities
4. Type of ownership (rental unit, condominium unit, homeowner's
association, etc.)
The Subcommittee should discuss other issues involved with the
consideration of the needs for tot lots or play areas. This
would include the discussion of the purpose of a tot lot in
relationship to the distribution of neighborhood park facilites.
Memo to Subcommittee
February 22, 1984
Page 2
There has also been the concern expressed that tot lots, while
important to the health and happiness of younger children, if
they are not maintained or properly developed by the homeowners
association or developer they fulfill no purpose whatsoever.
Another concern involves creating a play space which best fits
the needs of the residents. If a tot lot is required when the
predominance of residents is adults, it may actually take away
from the open space necessary for adult type activities. This
being the case, Commission may wish to consider the possibility
of requiring the developer to provide a common space designated
for open play with the homeowners associations making the determina-
tion of what occupies that space once the development has been
completed and occupied.
There is also the recognition that the larger multiple dwelling
units, for example Carriage Hills, Coachman, and Duckwood Trails
apartments, have generally included recreational activities
as an amenity to their development. Tennis courts, pool areas,
and play apparatus are generally included in these developments
to enhance their value to potential buyers. Members may note
the marketing techniques now being used by Orrin Thompson Homes
with Lexington Place. Here they are emphasizing the fact that
a separate facility is being planned to accommodate adults
in a year -round setting.
This memo is provided as background for discussion purposes
only w h4 the intention that additional direction to the staff
will b: q' en.

RE: REVIEW OF POLICY FOR ISSUING PERMITS FOR SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL
SCHEDULED ON CITY FIELDS AS ESTABLISHED, 1983
REVIEW OF FEE SCHEDULE FOR THE USE OF NORTHVIEW ATHLETIC FIELDS
FOR WEEKEND TOURNAMENTS
1. POLICY FOR ISSUING PERMITS:
March 1984
The policy instituted in 1983 requiring game schedules prior to
issuing permits was partially successful.
E.A.A. provided the department with all of their game schedules
for City fields. A comprehensive maintenance schedule was estab-
lished from the game schedules. Important information learned
included items such as only three games were scheduled on the
Rahn 90' for the entire season.
E.A.A., R.A.A.A.: The information received regarding school fields
for which the department has joint maintenance agreements was far
too general. It consisted of a copy of the permit the association
received from the school district. For the Thomas Lake Elementary
School fields, for example, the permit reads Mondays through Fridays
4 9 P.M.; Saturdays 9 A.M. 9 P.M. and Sundays noon 9 P.M.. The
fields were not, in fact, used that heavily.
MEND EAGAN: Sent no game schedule, only a projection on the number
of teams and where they wished to schedule them. Despite efforts
to be sent specific game schedules and not the "wish list none were
received. No permit was written. They used the fields!
Adult organizations requesting fields by specific dates included the
Burnsville -Eagan Women's Church League and the Knights of Columbus.
Their needs were accomodated.
The policy worked well when followed. Improved cooperation is needed
from the Athletic Associations.
With the field crisis in 1984, direction is needed as to the use of
some neighborhood fields, in particular Woodhaven Beryl and the two
fields at Carnelian.
Should they be scheduled: 1. Youths Only
2. Youths and /or Adults
3. Not at all
SOFTBALL BASEBALL

MARCH 1984
2. The fee schedule for the use of Northview Athletic Fields was
not severely tested. One, one day outside tournament was held.
All other events were City sponsored.
E.A.A. has inquired regarding the availability of the fields
for one day in July. More information will be necessary in
order to determine whether fees are required.
It appears that no fee adjustments are necessary.

Softball /Baseball Leagues:
The City of Eagan Parks and Recreation Department has
established a new policy in issuing permits for scheduable
softball and baseball activities on City fields.
With the increase in City population, the growth in the
popularity of softball /baseball, the emergence of RAAA teams
and the limited availability of field space; change in procedure
is necessary.
To permit will be written prior to the department receiving
a copy of your game schedule. Since the last step in preparing
a schedule is assigning games to fields, field permits may he
specifically addressed.
The City and school districts share joint maintenance
agreements. It is therefore necessary for the parks and
recreation department to receive schedules for age groups
that use school fields in the City so that timely maintenance
can be scheduled.
EAA: Schedules for school fields at Metcalf, Cedar Elementary
and the 3 Rahn School fields are required for maintenance
purposes. Schedules for age groups that might use the Rahn6O!,
Rahn 90' Carnelian or Woodhaven are needed to issue a permit.
MEMD- FAGAN: The schedules for age groups that might use Pilot
Knob School fields, McKee and the Northview 90' are required
for maintenance scheduling and permit. The availability of
Blue Cross field 2 is highly unlikely due to an increase in
adult teams.
RAAA: For maintenance purposes the schedules for fields at
Thomas Lake and Northview Elementary Schools are required.
The schedules for age groups that need access to a City 90'
diamond are required for permit.
Adult organizations, that include teams from other communities,
should not request a disproportionate number of fields from the
City of Eagan in relationship to the number of teams from Eagan.

The use of practice fields has not changed. The policy that
remains is a first come first served basis. A scheduled game
or a special event group, carrying a permit, have precedence
over a practice.
It is anticipated that by mid to late April you will be prepared
to schedule your fields.
Direct any questions you might have to the Parks and Recreation
Department 454 -7802.

RE: FEE SCHEDULE NORTHVIEW ATHLETIC FIELDS
April 1983
In March of 1980 the City established the following fees for the use of
the Northview Athletic Fields for week -end tournaments:
Class One: Eagan Adult Leagues
1. $50.00 per week -end for trash pick up and extra
service on toilet facilities.
2. $100.00 damage deposit, refunded if no damage occurs.
Class Two: Tournaments that include non resident teams.
1. $100.00 per week -end for trash pick up and extra
service of toilet facilities.
2. $100.00 damage deposit, refunded if no damage occurs.
3. $5.00 per team basic charge.
Maintenance: If maintenance is desired, payment shall be made by the
tournament sponsor for actual pay and actual fringe
benefits for equipment at actual rental rates.
All Eagan adult leagues are now directed by the City. In addition, be-
ginning in 1983, the softball fields will have permanent base anchors
in place which requires different procedures for installing.
Therefore, a change in policy, procedure and fee structure appears
necessary at this time.
The suggested changes are as follows:
1. Eliminate the class one category as it no longer applies.
2. Adjust the field use fees to reflect maintenance costs. Proper
maintenance of the fields during the course of a tournament is
necessary now that permanent equipment is in place.
3. In essence, more than one category of user fees is no longer
required. The suggested new fee scale is:
Tournament fees for Northview softball fields.
1. $125.00 for a one day tournament.
2. $150.00 plus $5.00 per team for a two day tournament.
3. $150.00 damage deposit, refunded if no damage occurs.
The City will drag the fields and set out the permanent bases for the
tournament sponsor each day. An additional cleaning of satellites and
trash pick up will also be scheduled. To cover these additional costs
to the City, an increase in field use fees seem appropriate.
Fee Schedules Northview Athletic Fields

Staff has reviewed fees charged by other communities and found a wide
variation in fee structures. For example, Plymouth charge $35.00 per
field per day; plus $6.00 per hour to have a staff person present.
Eden Prairie does not allow non -City leagues or teams to use its fields.
Charge to City teams is $50.00 per day. St. Louis Park charges $30.00
per day /per field. There are additional charges made for use of the
shelter and lights. The City provides one drag of the fields; no outside
teams may use the fields.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION To review the rate structure for charges made for
the use of Northview Athletic Fields and recommend a fee structure for
immediate implementation.
Staff would also like to retain discretion for charging a lessor fee for
youths and instances in which a limited one drag event is requested.
