MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: INFORMAL REVIEW PARK SERVICE SECTION 24
January 31, 1984
As previously noted, staff has received an informal proposal for a
plat within this park service section. This preliminary proposal
does illustrate a proposed parkland dedication which is not within
the search area for a proposed neighborhood park in this section.
Because this is the first residential plat proposed for this service
section, it seems appropriate that the Commission again review the
needs of this section and then the merits of this proposed plat.
Parks Service Section #24 encompasses approximately 200 acres. The
service section is divided almost equally into two halves by County
Road 63. The City's Comprehensive Guide Plan and the Park Systems
Master Plan has previously identified the search area for the neigh-
borhood park east of County Road 63. This area is adjacent to a
large ponding area, is relatively level and is in the approximate cen-
ter of the park service district. The City's Comprehensive Guide Plan
land use indicates that the area within this park service section will
have between three and six units per acre. Therefore, the neighborhood
park will service between 300 and 600 residential households.
The preliminary plat that has been presented to staff is still in the
informal stages. Currently being proposed in this plat is a ten acre
dedication of ponding in park purposes. At this time, staff has two
major concerns to the proposed park area. The first concern is that
the area is dominated by a large pond which is part of the City storm
water retention plan. This pond will be serviced by a future storm
water lift station yet to be constructed. The high water level mark,
which would be achieved at those times of severe and heavy downpours,
would encompass approximately 85 to 90% of the proposed park area as
it currently is being suggested. Hence, the majority of the parkland
being suggested is part of a "dry pond" area.
The second concern the staff has for this proposed park area is that it
is in the southernmost half of the park service district. This location
makes it difficult and almost inaccessible to the remainder of the service
section and hence may require a second park area in the northwest half of
the section.
The Advisory Commission is requested to once again review the park service
section needs and informally discuss and provide additional direction to
the City staff for the parks in this section.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: FEBRUARY 2, 1984 COMMISSION MEETING
January 27, 1984
Following the Call To Order by the Chairperson, it would be appropriate
for the introduction of the newest member to the Advisory Commission,
Mr. Tom Ketchum, Mr, Ketchum will replace member Mike Fedde for a three
year term. The first order of business will be the approval of the agenda
and the minutes from the January 5 regular meeting and the special meeting
of the Commission on January 11, 1984.
The next order of business will be the organizational matters for the
Advisory Commission. This would include the selection of a chair per-
son, vice -chair person and secretary for the Commission. In addition,
the Advisory Commission should establish the day and time of its monthly
meeting. It has been traditional for the Advisory Commission to establish
the first Thursday of the month, 7:00 P.M., for its meeting day and time.
This is subject to review by the Commission and established annually.
Several standing committees or Ad Hoc Committees are created by the
Advisory Commission. These standing committees in the past have con-
sisted of the Development Committee and a Recreation Committee. In 1953,
there were three additional Ad Hoc Committees appointed the Parks Name
Committee, a Finance Committee and a Study Committee on the Kehne House.
Member Martin is currently chairing the Kehne House sub committee along
with members Masin and Kubik, with the Finance Committee being chaired
by member Thurston and members Alt and Jackson also serving on this
committee, These three members have also been appointed by the City
Council. The Commission should undertake to establish any committee
or committees they feel necessary to carry out its work during the up-
coming year.
The first two developments are the Sunset Fourth and Fifth Additions as
proposed by Brad Swenson. The Sunset Fourth Addition is within the Lex-
ington South Planned Unit Development, therefore, there would be no park
dedication requirement. The Fifth Addition consists of a lot split,
therefore, a cash dedication would be recommended. Enclosed for your
review is the Planners Report in regards to these two additions as an
informational item.
The second proposal is for the Pines as proposed by Roger Kreidberg. The
proposed preliminary plat is within the Hilltop Addition which has pre-
viously completed its park dedication requirements. This item, there-
fore, is brought to the Advisory Commission's attention as an informational
item and for review of any other park conditions.
ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION

JANUARY 27, 1984
The third item is the staff has had an information discussion regarding
a possible plat application for the area east of Dodd Road and north
of County Road 30, This is within Park Service Section #24. Staff
would like to do an informal review and discuss with the Commission,
the area that is being considered for the plat and possible park. No
formal action is being requested from the Advisory Commission relative
to this item.
Item four is also for an informal review, The area under consideration
is the Wilmus Family Properties immediately north of the Highline Trail
and east of Johnny Cake Ridge Road. Staff would like an informal dis-
cussion with the Commission regarding this proposed park area. No formal
action will be required by the Advisory Commission at this time.
OLD BUSINESS
The first item under Old Business will be the review of the concept plans
prepared by Erkkila and Associates for Meadowlands Park. In conjunction
with the review of the concept plan, the second phase of the Commission
"In- Service" on park planning will be given by Mr. Erkkila, The Advisory
Commission has asked to review the concept plan and if appropriate, select
one or a combination of the plans as a preferred plan.
The second item under Old Business is Rahn Park Development. Members
will recall that Mr. Erkkila has been commissioned to prepare the final
detailed plans and drawings for the development of Rahn Park. Staff would
like to take a few minutes of the Commission's time to review the progress
being made on that plan and to discuss the next phase of the project.
-NEW BUSINESS
The first item under New Business is the review of rules and regulations
being proposed for the Community Room at the old Eagan City Hall. The
Department of Parks and Recreation has been designated as the responsible
agency for this room.
While the chief usage of the facility will be for recreational programming,
the room will be made available for public groups for their usage. Attached
to this memo are the proposed guidelines to be used for the use of this
facility to be reviewed by the Advisory Commission. The City anticipates
that this facility will be fully functional by approximately March 1.
Fiscal Year 1985, LAWCON application will be submitted in April (tentatively).
Proposed changes in the application may allow the City to submit two grants.
The Commission is asked to make its suggestions on the areas which it feels
might be considered for grant submission.
ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION

JANUARY 27, 1984
Staff would like to report to the Advisory Commission on recent Countil
action concerning several parks related issues. A meeting date for the
Recreation Committee should also be established. The purpose of this
meeting will be to determine programming priorities which could utilize
the new Community Center Room, Other program opportunities will also
be discussed which the Programming Staff can begin to focus its attention

The applicant is proposing to again construct 26 dwelling units which
is just under the maximum density allowed for this R -3 zoning. The
maximum density allowed is 26.49 dwelling units for this tract of
land. The development proposal consists of 18 two bedroom units, 6
one- bedroom units and 2 three bedroom units and will be marketed in
the price range of $60,000 $75,000 per unit. In reviewing the lot
coverage for this particular parcel, the two bui1dngs and garages
cover approximately 10.3% of the overall site.'; In reviewing this
development proposal, the access proposed >is off of Berry Ridge Road
and dead-ending on the easterly end of the second townhouse or condo-
minium building.; Staff has looked at the potential of a loop street
system. However, the grades are such that it is not feasible to con-
nect the private access to Berry Ridge Road on the easterly edge of
the plat. Staff had suggested that the driveway between the two con.
dominium buildings be widened in order that a fire truck could be
turned into and turned around in this area in order to provide bet-
ter access for emergency vehicles
In review of the proposed development, the- appl.can,t meets all other
ordinance requirements in 4regard to setbacks, and the applicant is
proposing'to keep as many of the existing trees which now exist on
the southerly edge of the property as is possible. There has been
an actual survey of the trees showing their present location, and
the majority of these trees will stay as development is constructed

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, P.E., ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: JANUARY 17, 1984
SUBJECT: THE PINES, 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 of this site consists of a side hill with
relatively steep slopes. The slopes range from 9% -20% with the
steeper slopes being generally located along the southerly portion.
Also, the southerly portion of this development is rather heavily
wooded with pine trees. The remainder of this parcel consists of
grassland.
The existing drainage over this parcel is split with approximately
the westerly third draining in a northwesterly direction and even-
tually discharging into Pond JP -36, which is just south of St. John
Neumann Church. The easterly two thirds of this site drains in a
northeasterly direction and eventually ends up in Pond JP -48. Fi-
gure 1 illustrates the relationship of the drainage of this propos-
ed development with the City's Master Storm Sewer Plan.
At this time, neither of the previously mentioned ponds have con-
trolled outlets. However, staff does not feel any action is neces-
sary to provide outlets for either pond at this time for several
reasons. For one thing, the proposed grading will not be signifi-
cantly altered from its present patterns as a result of site grad-
ing to accommodate this proposed development. Although the volume
of storm water runoff will increase due to the roofs and paved sur-
faces, the runoff from the westerly one -third of this proposed de-
velopment discharging eventually into Pond JP -36 is not significant
with respect to the relatively large size of that pond. Simi ?:arly,
a controlled outlet is not recommended at this time for Pond JP -48
as long as approximately 50% of the additional runoff from the wes-
terly two- thirds of this development is detained in a small ponding
area near the northeast corner of this parcel. With this pond, an
overflow across the natural vegetation can be allowed and should
create no greater problems than the present drainage. In addition,
this pond could also serve as a sedimentation pond to improve the
quality of this runoff.
The proposed site grading over this parcel will require significant
amounts of excavation and fill resulting in relatively steep slopes.
Subsequently, it is recommended that for maintenance purposes and
slope stabilization purposes that slopes on this proposed develop-
ment be a minimum of 3 :1. In addition, staff would recommend a

detailed grading and erosion control plan be required to be submit-
ted for approval, and also a landscape plan depicting how slope sta-
bilization will be handled.
UTILITIES
Water service is available from an existing 8" diameter water later-
al in Berry Ridge Road. However, it will be necessary to extend 6"
diameter watermain into this property to provide for two hydrants
to provide adequate fire protection. Also, sanitary sewer service
is available from the existing sanitary sewer trunk line which lies
10' north of the north line of this property. This development will
be allowed to tap into this line provided they acquire the necessary
City permits.
STREETS
Existing streets bordering this proposed development consist of Pi-
lot Knob Road to the west and Berry Ridge Road to the south. Pilot
Knob Road is a rural two -lane paved roadway under the jurisdiction
of Dakota County, and subsequently is subject to access control.
Berry Ridge Road is a residential street built to its ultimate de-
sign (32' wide with bituminous surfacing and concrete curb and gut-
ter) and is under the City's jurisdiction. Pilot Knob Road is an-
ticipated to be upgraded in the near future to a major collector col-
lector street status by Dakota County. Subsequently, staff would
recommend that either this development escrow its share of the im-
provement costs for Pilot Knob Road upgrading or this development
signs a waiver of hearing for assessments for this improvement and
it be listed as a pending assessment.
Access to this proposed development is being proposed from Berry
Ridge Road and is located approximately 170' east of the centerline
of Pilot Knob Road.
Due to the existing topography, the alignment of the private drive
is very limited. Subsequently, staff feels the parking and drive-
way layout is laid out in the best arrangement given the circum-
stances. However, in order to facilitate emergency vehicles such
as fire trucks in gaining access to the easterly building, staff
would recommend that the garage arrangement for the westerly build-
ing be the same as for the easterly building. Also, large radiuses
should be provided for the north driveway common to both buildings
to facilitate maneuvering of the City's fire emergency vehicles.
Figure 2 illustrates this recommendation.
Finally, staff would recommend that a minimum of 50' of the drive-
way approach to Berry Ridge Road be at a maximum of a 2% grade.

EASEMENTS /RIGHT -OF -WAY
All right -of -way for Berry Ridge Road and Pilot Knob Road have been
previously dedicated under the Hilltop Estates plat. In addition,
all adequate easements have been dedicated with the exception that
additional easements will be required over the 6" watermain hydrant
leads.
ASSESSMENTS
All trunk related assessments have been levied to this property.
The only other assessment required is for the future upgrading of
Pilot Knob Road as previously discussed. Current City policy would
require a residential equivalent assessment for the 283.0 feet of
frontage on Pilot Knob Road. A current estimated residential equi-
valent rate would be $37.00 per front foot resulting in an assess-
ment of $10,471.00. Therefore, it would be staff's recommendation
to put $10,471.00 in escrow and utilize for
the Pilot Knob project when it is carried out in conjunction with
the Dakota County Highway Department.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in further
detail at the Planning Commission meeting of January 24, 1984.

PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: JANUARY 16, 1984
SUBJECT: SUNSET 4TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consider-
ation by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
This proposed development is located directly east of Northview Mea-
dows Addition and south of County Road 30. The existing topography
consists of rolling hills with the south half of this portion drain-
ing to the south and the north half of this portion draining to the
east. The southerly portion of this proposed development slopes
rather steeply to the south with the slopes approaching 18 Slopes
in the northerly portion of this proposed development range from 2%
to 15 Figure 1 illustrates the relationship of this proposed de-
velopment being located partially within the J and L major drainage
districts as defined by the Master Storm Sewer Plan.
The proposed grading will result in a low spot being in the vicinity
of Lot 9, Block 2 with all the drainage north of the proposed street
being directed towards it. From here, it is directed to the east via
storm sewer through the Sunset 1st Addition and then to the north to
a holding area just south of Pond JP -27.
UTILITIES
Existing utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist with-
in the proximity of this proposed development to provide service to
it.
Watermain for this proposed development is proposed to be looped
through this development from an existing 6" watermain within York-
town Place to the watermain constructed within the Sunset 1st Addi-
tion. Sanitary sewer for this proposed development is proposed to
be serviced by extending the sanitary sewer proposed to be construct-
ed within the Sunset 1st Addition. This sewer and water should also
be stubbed to the east boundary of the Sunset 1st Addition to facil-
itate future utility extensions to the property to the east.
If utilities are to be installed under private contract, then the
plans and specifications shall be prepared by a registered engineer
and submitted to the City for approval.
STREETS
Access to this proposed development consists of a public street named
Yorktown Place located within the Northview Meadows Addition and abuts

the west boundary of this proposed development.
It is proposed to extend Yorktown Place to the east and provide in-
ternal access by way of a public looped street. The public looped
street will provide for excellent traffic flow, however, staff would
recommend that Yorktown Place be extended to the east boundary of
Sunset lst Addition. This would provide a connection with the pro-
posed north -south street within the Sunset lst Addition and greatly
improve the traffic circulation.
The developer proposes to construct the internal street under pri-
vate contract and petition for the City to install the curb and gut-
ter and bituminous paving for Yorktown Place. Staff has no problem
with this as long as it is made a condition of the final plat for
the developer to provide the gravel base for Yorktown Place.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
The developer is proposing a 60' right -of -way for Yorktown Place and
a 50' right -of -way for the internal street, Sunset Drive, which staff
concurs with. However, staff strongly recommends extending the right
of -way for Yorktown Place from the east boundary of this preliminary
plat as proposed to the east boundary of Sunset lst Addition for rea-
sons previously mentioned. Also, a minimum 25' half right -of -way
shall be dedicated for Hackmore Drive along the southerly border of
this proposed development.
A 10' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to all publicly
dedicated right -of -way along with a 5' drainage and utility easement
being dedicated adjacent to all exterior lot lines with a 10' drain-
age and utility easement being dedicated over all interior lot lines.
In addition, the necessary storm sewer easements required by the pro
posed alignment across Lot 11, Block 2 of this proposed Addition and
Lot 4, Block 1 of the Sunset lst Addition will be required to be dedi-
cated and /or obtained.
ASSESSMENTS
In reviewing the assessments levied over this proposed development
which consists of Parcel 010 -27 and 021 -27 of the NW; of Section 25,
it was found that all trunk related assessments have been levied.
Subsequently, all future costs for public improvements shall be the
sole responsibility of this proposed development.
MISCELLANEOUS
As proposed, this development will pose a problem in the future re-
garding the construction of streets and utilities within Hackmore
Drive since Lots 6 -10, Block 1 will have double frontages. Subse-
quently, it will be difficult to assess any benefit resulting from
utility and street improvements within Hackmore Drive to these lots,
thereby jeopardizing the financing of any such projects. Therefore,

staff would recommend that Lots 6 -10, Block 1 be subdivided each into
two lots with the additional lot being labeled an outlot. This would
provide the owner of a lot ownership and control over the outlot
should it elect to be included with this purchase and also allow the
City to assess the benefits resulting from the improvements of Hack
more Drive.
An alternate to this would be for the developer to provide an escrow
account for the costs of improving Hackmore Drive which may be drawn
against upon the improvement of Hackmore Drive. Finally, a last al-
ternative is to leave the plat as proposed thereby encumbering the
City's trunk funds for future improvements within Hackmore Drive.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Ad-
visory Planning Commission at their meeting of January 24, 1984.

The preliminary plat meets all of the criteria set forth in
and 13 of the State Code for lot size requirements in -an
trict. The proposed plat is small and each of the lots within
plat would contain 21,840 square feet. The applicant was not
of what the exact right -of -way dedication should be for Dodd
and even including the dedication, the two lots proposed woul
exceed the R -1 zoning standards.
In review of this plat, normally there should be a concern in arm
to direct access on a proposed collector road. However, in r eview
of this particular plat, the lots directly south in Sad:dleharn
tion all take direct access onto Dodd Road. Therefore, restrict
this particular plat fromtaking direct access wouldn't be consiste
with what has happened in the past along Dodd Road.

RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
JANUARY 16, 1984
SUNSET 5TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development to be con-
sidered by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
This proposed development poses no problems with future drainage or
grading due to its location and size.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient depth, capacity and size exist within Dodd
Road to provide individual services to each lot. However, the neces-
sary permits for connection and roadway excavation must be acquired.
STREETS
Existing streets providing potential access to this proposed develop-
ment consist of Dodd Road which borders this proposed development
along the east side. Dodd Road is a planned City collector street
but exists as a residential street in width in the interim. Subse-
quently, it is City policy that access to City collector streets be
limited to provide traffic capacity and safety required for the col-
lector street designation. Subsequently, staff would recommend again-
st allowing access along Dodd Road as proposed. Access could better
be suited off of an internal east -west street which could border the
north boundary of this proposed development. Not only would this be
more desirable for this proposed development but would also open up
better access to Parcels 021 -26 and 022 -26. As it stands now, Parcel
021 -26 would be extremely difficult to develop and provide access to
the easterly portion of it. Therefore, staff would recommend the ow-
ner of this property to submit a sketch of proposed uses for this de-
velopment so that a logical plan could be followed in developing this
corner, southwest of County Road 30 and Dodd Road.
However, if this preliminary plat is approved, staff would recommend
that only one access be allowed on Dodd Road and be centered over this
parcel. Also, it should be a requirement that turnarounds be provid-
ed for each lot so that the vehicles do not have to back out to gain
access to Dodd Road.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
If this preliminary plat is approved, then a 40' half right -of -way
shall be dedicated for Dodd Road. This is the minimum half
ENGINEERING REPORT

right -of -way required for City collector streets.
In addition, a 10' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to
all publicly dedicated right -of -way along with a 5' drainage and util-
ity easement being dedicated along all lot lines.
ASSESSMENTS
All trunk related assessments have been levied over this parcel (012-
26) with the exception of trunk area storm sewer. Subsequently, this
area shall be responsible for its trunk area storm sewer assessment
at the rate in effect at the time of final plat approval. At this
time, it would amount to $2,276.00 (42,218 square feet X $0.0539 per
square foot).
All costs for servicing each lot with sewer and water and driveway
construction shall be the sole responsibility of this development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Ad-
visory Planning Commission at their meeting on January 24, 1984.

MEMO TO: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: DOROTHY PETERSON, RECREATION SUPERVISOR
RE: FOR YOUR INFORMATION, WINTER PROGRAMS
January 27, 1984
SKATING PROGRAM: The numbers of skaters at Well Site, Rahn and Carnelian
continue to be the highest in the City. Pilot Knob has had some excellent
days also. Attendance at Woodhaven is disappointing, averaging only 8
skaters. Lexington averages 10 -12 skaters, behavior problems have been
encountered from time to time at that site, however. Highview continues
to be a lonely outpost, the average number of skaters is 3 -5, with fre-
quent regularity no one comes to skate. Opening the facility on Friday,
Saturday, Sunday and Monday only appears to be sufficient.
Special events at the rink sites have been attempted. The family skate
scheduled for January 8 did not occur as the 40 temperatures the first
week in January made the rinks unskateable. Skating lessons for six
year olds were conducted at Well Site and Woodhaven to groups of 5 -6
children. The other sites had no six year olds arrive.
Neighborhood picnics will be attempted on February 5. Parks and Recreation
will serve hot cider and games will be conducted. It is hoped that families
will attend to take part.
3 -MAN BASKETBALL LEAGUE: A four team basketball league has been formed.
Play is scheduled on Wednesday evenings at Northview Elementary School.
This activity will run for eight weeks.
MEN'S BROOMBALL LEAGUE: This league has grown to 14 teams. It is anticipated
that the league will be required to divide to two nights of play as early as
next season to accomodate additional growth.
CROSS COUNTRY SKI LESSONS: A fourth section had to be added again this
year to provide lessons for all who wished to take part. The rental
arrangement with Diamond T Ranch works well. The most difficult task
is locating gentle slopes to match the timidity of some adult beginner
skiers.
TINY TOT RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES: Three sections of tots are in progress.
The children will take a field trip to the Children's Museum on March 2
to "try out" the Children's Awarehouse.
YOUTH BOWLING LESSONS: Both sections of bowling lessons are being con-
ducted. The groups are smaller than last fall, however, interest in the
program is evident.

COUPLES OPEN VOLLEYBALL: This activity continues as it has for twelve
years: The group must pay to use the gymnasium now, unlike the free
days of the past. Every three to four years a new core of enthusiasts
develops. They come in -20° weather, snowstorms and wish to play at
least until the end of April'.
