EAGAN HILLS WEST PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
JUNE 28, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted for a pre-
liminary plat, Sun Cliff, consisting of approximately 89.1 acres con-
taining 277 dwelling units of which 191 are proposed for small single
family lots in part of the NW4 and part of the NE4 of Section 29 ly-
ing south of Diffley Road and between Beaver Dam Road and Blackhawk
Road.
Presently, the property is zoned PD (Planned Development District) in
which the planned development agreement was entered into April 3, 1979.
According to the planned development, it is designated a medium density
ranging from 9 -12 dwelling units per acre. The Comprehensive Guide
Plan designates this parcel as R -3 (Mixed Residential) with a density
of 6 -12 dwelling units per acre.
In reviewing this particular development proposal, one has to go back
to the history and review of the Eagan Hills West Planned Development
which was approved April 3, 1979. The first phase of the Eagan Hills
West Planned Development is the Meadowlands Addition which is a small-
er single family subdivision between Rahn Road and Beaver Dam Road
south of County Road 30. The minimum lot size in the Meadowlands Addi-
tion is 75' width by a 125' for an area of 9,375 square feet. The
area east of Beaver Dam Road has been established according to the
planned development as a medium density site with a density range of
9 -12 dwelling units per acre. The application submitted is a request
to lower the density and provide a smaller lot single family and du-
plex subdivision with an overall net density of 5.39 dwelling units
per acre. The proposed plat will contain approximately 89.1 acres
which includes the portion to be dedicated for parkland and a 14 -acre
outlot at the quadrant of Diffley Road, Beaver Dam Road, and Black
hawk Road to be developed at a later date at a higher density. There-
fore, the net developable land including streets is 62.6 acres. The
applicant is proposing 191 single family lots and 43 duplex lots for
a total of 277 dwelling units.

PRELIMINARY PLAT SUN CLIFF ADDITION

In the Sun Cliff preliminary plat, the applicant is proposing to con-
struct a minimum single family lot which would have the dimensions of
60' lot width by 125' lot depth or a total of 7,500 square feet. The
average single family lot in the development is 9,200 square feet.
The minimum duplex lot would have a dimension of 80' lot width and
130' lot depth for a minimum square footage of 10,400. The average
duplex lot would contain 12,070 square feet. Enclosed is an exhibit
listing the lot and block with square footages of all lots within the
proposed Sun Cliff Addition. This proposed subdivision is below mini-
mum standards for R -1 and R -2 zoning. However, single family lots and
duplex lots of this size have been approved in the past by the City.
When reviewing this particular plat, one has to review the planned de-
velopment agreement which has some different criteria for setbacks
and regulations for the planned development instead of just referring
to the Eagan City Code. Staff has also included a copy of the Eagan
Hills West Planned Development agreement for your review.
In reviewing the setback issue on this particular development, staff
would like to point out and make one recommendation regarding this
preliminary plat. On the west side of Beaver Dam Road or the lots
accessing Beaver Dam Road in Meadowlands Addition, presently there
are 30' setbacks from the right -of -way line. The City Code would re-
quire that the setback from Beaver Dam Road would be 40'. However, for
the consistency of the development and setback on Beaver Dam Road,
staff suggests that the lots on the east side of Beaver Dam Road also
have a 30' setback instead of the required 40'. The 30' setback should
also be on corner lots with street accesses onto Beaver Dam Road. The
applicant has proposed on interior streets that a 20' side setback be
allowed on corner lots or interior streets. This provision is spelled
out in the planned development agreement, however, it is at the build-
ing inspector's discretion. Therefore, this should be reviewed on an
individual basis.
Another item in regard to the planned development agreement is that
the developer has the sole discretion to reduce density within the
planned development. Normally, staff would have processed an amend-
ment to the planned development for a lesser use. However, the plan-
ned development states that this is allowed, therefore, the planned
development states this is a permitted use at the discretion of the
developer. In the planned development agreement, there could be some
flexibility to discuss densities and number of lots within the Sun
Cliff Addition. The developer has provided a lot dimension and has
structures which can be built meeting all other ordinance requirements.
As stated earlier, this preliminary plat also includes a 12.5 acre
parcel which will be dedicated to the City for parkland. The Park
Commission is in the process of reviewing this particular parcel as
it relates to the overall park dedication and will be providing com-
ments to the City Council regarding size dimension and how this par-
ticular parcel will fit in to the neighborhood park system. It is

staff's understanding that this neighborhood is in particular need for
a neighborhood park and is on one of the top priorities for providing
parkland for this particular neighborhood. The developer is ahead of
the park dedication requirements for the planned development, however,
understanding the need of the City; there may be some negotiation is
as to when the City will receive this dedication of parkland.
The applicant is proposing to phase this particular development start-
ing on the west side of Beaver Dam Road. It is staff's understanding
that the applicant is looking at trying to get some grading done this
fall and surfacing the streets early spring. Therefore, the first
phase of the development should be in the construction stage early
1984.
The applicant is proposing to provide a curvilinear street design with
two streets having through access to Beaver Dam Road and Blackhawk
Road. The applicant is only proposing two cul -de -sacs in the develop-
ment proposal which is reasonable in this large tract development.
Therefore, the access looks adequate to handle this proposed subdivi-
sion.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) Deviation from lot size shall be in accordance with the exhibit
in this report stating all lot sizes within this development.
2) The 30' setback be allowed on Beaver Dam Road.
3) The parkland be reviewed by the Park Commission and subject to
their recommendation.
4) A development agreement be signed prior to the application of
final plat.
5) The plat be reviewed by the Dakota County Plat Commission because
it abuts a County road.
6) All other applicable ordinances be complied with.
7) All easements be dedicated as requested by City staff.

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: JUNE 23, 1983
SUBJECT: SUN CLIFF ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments for consideration by the Planning Commission and
City Council regarding this proposed preliminary plat.
DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
The existing topography over this proposed development consists main-
ly of rolling grassland with numerous small hills and depressions.
Even so, the general slope of this parcel is towards the southwest to
Pond AP -22 with a normal water elevation of 873. In addition to this
Pond, Pond AP -7 is also located within this proposed development to
the northeast of Pond AP -22 providing storage for storm water runoff
with a normal water level of 885.8. Presently, neither pond has a
positive outlet.
As a result of the rolling topography, the proposed grading plan will
require taking excess material from the hills to fill in the depres-
sions to provide for buildable lots. Subsequently, roughly 50% of
this proposed development will be excavated while the other 50% of
this development will be filled. The proposed grading will drain ap-
proximately 40 acres of this parcel into Pond AP -7 and the remainder
of this parcel with the exception of the proposed parkland will be
collected by an internal storm sewer discharging into an existing
27" trunk storm sewer located at the intersection of Bear Path Trail
and Beaver Dam Road. Meanwhile, the park is being proposed to be
left in its natural condition.
UTILITIES
Existing utilities located within Beaver Dam Road to provide servi-
cing this proposed development include an 8" water main and an 8"
sanitary sewer. Sanitary and water services were also constructed
to proposed lots along the east side of Beaver Dam Road along with
water main and sanitary sewer stubs to proposed street locations as
a part of Improvement Project 236 and was completed in 1980. These
utilities are of sufficient size, capacity and depth to service this
entire development.
The utilitiesfor this proposed development are planned to be install-
ed under City Contract. This will require the developer to petition
for the necessary public improvements, such as sanitary sewer, water
main, storm sewer and street construction. In addition to the normal
lateral improvements to be provided, an outlet to Pond AP -7 should be
provided in conjunction with the internal storm sewer for this pro-
posed development.

STREETS
Access to this proposed development can be accomplished off of either
Beaver Dam Road along the west boundary of this proposed development
or Blackhawk Road located along the easterly boundary of this propos-
ed development. Access from County Road 30 to this development should
be restricted. Currently, Beaver Dam Road is constructed to its ulti-
mate design section of 44 feet wide with bituminous pavement and con-
crete curb and gutter, while Blackhawk Road is in the process of.being
upgraded from a gravel road to a 48' wide bituminous surface street
with concrete curb and gutter.
The proposed internal street configuration contains only two cul -de-
sacs which are both within the maximum length for cul -de -sacs as re-
quired by the City Code. Meanwhile, the remainder of the streets pro-
vide for excellent traffic flow as they are all interconnected.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
Right -of -way for the internal streets shall be dedicated with the fi-
nal plat. The developer has elected to incorporate 50' right -of -ways
for the public streets with the exception of Sun Cliff Road which is
proposed to be 60'. This is in order to accommodate a trailway which
was proposed as a part of the planned development agreement to connect
Pond AP -7 with the parkland in the southwest portion of this proposed
development. However, the circumstances requiring this trailway have
now been changed in reducing the densities from multi family residen-
ces to single family residences. The trailway was originally intend-
ed to be a division between high and low density multi family resi-
dences. Subsequently, a trailway will not be required and the right
of -way width for Sun Cliff Road may be reduced to 50'. On the other
hand, since Deer Hills Trail and Bear Path Trail connect to collect-
or streets in Beaver Dam Road and Blackhawk Road, the right -of -way
for these streets should be a minimum of 60'. This extra width will
improve visibility by increasing setbacks.
A ponding and utility easement will be required around Pond AP -7 en-
compassing the high water elevation of 894.4. This should be dedi-
cated as a condition of final plat approval. Additional easements
to be dedicated shall include a 10' utility easement adjacent to all
publicly dedicated right -of -way, a 5' utility and drainage easement
along all exterior lot lines, and a 10' utility and drainage ease-
ments centered over all interior lot lines.
It should be noted that a small segment located along the southern
boundary of this proposed development is City property and is not
shown on this preliminary plat. The approximate location of this
is along the backyards along Fox Ridge Court and encompasses a por-
tion of the Hi -line bike trail.

ASSESSMENTS
All trunk area assessments have been levied over this proposed devel-
opment. Consequently, with the exception of some obligation for the
construction of an outlet to Pond AP -7, all other costs for the instal-
lation of utilities and streets shall be the sole responsibility of
this development. The amount of the City's obligation will be deter-
mined with the preparation of the feasibility report for the construc-
tion of public improvements within this proposed development.
For assistance with any questions regarding this matter, please do
not hesitate to contact either Thomas A. Colbert or me.

EAGAN HILLS WEST
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
CITY OF EAGAN
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 3rd day of April
1979, by and between the CITY OF EAGAN, Dakota County, Minnesota, (Eagan) and CLIFF
ROAD PROPERTIES, INC., with address at 21 Harrison Avenue North, Hopkins, Minnesota
55343 (Owner) and DUNN CURRY REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT, INC., with address at 4940 Viking
Drive, Edina, Minnesota 55435 (Developer).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Developer proposes a Planned Development in Eagan to be known as Eagan
Hills West (the Development) more particularly described in Exhibits attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference (the Exhibits), containing three hundred eighty
four (384) acres of land more or less, said land legally described in Exhibit "A" (The
Subject Land); and
WHEREAS, Developer and Owner have agreed that Developer may proceed with the
Development and the terms of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of Developer to proceed with the Development whereby
the Subject Land will be subdivided pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 505 and
462, and the Subdivision Ordinance of Eagan providing for the platting of land and to
obtain final approval from Eagan for plats as the Development progresses;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:
1.) Development Owner intends to have Developer develop the Subject Land
substantially in accordance with the general plans shown on the Exhibits and Eagan agrees
to permit the Development subject to obtaining final approval for each plat of the
Development from Eagan before proceeding with any work on said plat, unless otherwise
agreed to by Eagan. Plats reasonably consistent with the Exhibits shall be approved
by Eagan. In the event that the agreement between the Owner and Developer relating
to the development of the Subject Land is terminated, and this Agreement has not been
terminated, then wherever Developer is designated herein Owner shall, upon written notice
to Eagan, be automatically substituted to and for Developer and be subject to all
obligations, conditions, requirements and provisions of Developer, and be entitled to
all rights and benefits herein relating to Developer.
2.) Exhibits The Exhibits attached hereto, incorporated herein by reference

4.) Term of Planned Development Developer represents that it intends to complete
the Development within fifteen (15) years from the date hereof, so long as Eagan grants
timely approval of each plat of the Development. Eagan limits its approval to said
fifteen (15) year period; provided, however, Developer may request two (2) five (5)
year extension periods of this Agreement by submitting a written request to Eagan on
or before one hundred eighty (180) days of the anniversary date of this Agreement,

(5) year extension. Eagan may approve or deny, in its sole discretion, by a simple
majprity vote of all members of the City Council and without a public hearing, the
requested five (5) year extensions.
5.) Rezoning On or before December 31, 1978, Eagan agrees to rezone the Subject
Land to Planned Development District pursuant to the current Eagan Ordinance No. 52,
as amended to August 17, 1976, attached hereto as Exhibit "I governing Planned
Development Districts. Such rezoning shall be supplemental to the present zoning of
the Subject Land now in effect as evidenced by the zoning map which is attached hereto
as Exhibit "E Any removal of the superimposed Planned Development District zoning
or termination of this Agreement shall automatically result in the Subject Land being
zoned only as the present zoning classification as shown on Exhibit "E
6.) Density Density of housing units (Units) in the Development shall be as
more particularly shown in Exhibit "D provided, however, that the following specific
conditions shall apply with respect to density:
(01) Three thousand two hundred seventy -eight (3,278) Units shall be allowed in
the Development;
(02) Units in "high density" areas as identified on Exhibit "D" shall not exceed
maximum densities now permitted under the Zoning Ordinance No. 52.07, Subd. 5B
(Density Chart), shown on Exhibit "H and
(03) Subject Land east of proposed I -35E shall not exceed six (6) Units per acre.
The number of units specified in this paragraph is a maximum; less density shall be
permitted in Developer's sole discretion.
7.) Major Street Dedications Owner and Developer agree to dedicate as part of
each plat all streets within such plat; provided, however, that no dedication shall
be made for rights of way for contemplated Interstate Highway I -35E, its access ramps
or the rerouting of Blackhawk Road. The width of major thoroughfares within each plat
shall be as shown on the Eagan Major Street Plan dated January, 1976. Dedication shall
be made for streets within a plat upon recording of the final plat. Eagan's approval
of a final plat shall include an assumption of the public duty to maintain the dedicated
street or streets when construction is completed and accepted according to plans approved
2.
11.) Sidewalks Concrete sidewalks, in such widths and in such location as required
by the applicable ordinance of Eagan in effect at the time of final plat approval, shall
be constructed for lands within a. plat contemporaneously with the improvement of streets
within the plat and be assessable to Developer. Eagan will consider reasonable
exceptions to sidewalks as a plat is presented, and decisions as to said exceptions
shall be within the reasonable discretion of Eagan.
12.) Street Lights Developer agrees to provide and Eagan agrees to accept a street
lighting system for each plat pursuant to the applicable ordinance in effect at the
time of a final plat approval.
13.) Building Setbacks Building setbacks shall be those established by the Eagan
Zoning Ordinance in effect at the time of final plat approval, except that the following
deviations shall be permitted:
(01) Setbacks along all public streets, except major thoroughfares, shall be at
least thirty (30) feet from the abutting right -of -way line except where topography
or the location of existing trees require a lesser setback, in which case the
setback may be reduced upon written authorization of the Building Inspector to
twenty (20) feet. Any additional setback of less than twenty (20) feet shall
require the approval of the Eagan City Council.
(02) Sideyard setbacks may be reduced to a minimum of three (3) feet by the Building
Inspector under conditions contained in 13 (01) provided that a minimum of fifteen
(15) feet is maintained between adjoining (structures). Any sideyard setbacks
of less than three (3) feet shall require the approval of the Eagan City Council.
14.) Preservation of Trees Developer agrees to comply with Eagan ordinances
currently in effect related to preservation of trees and specifically will exercise
reasonable efforts in residential areas to save mature, undiseased trees on the Subject
Land which do not have to be removed for reasonable installation of buildings, streets,
sidewalks, utilities or drainage improvements and construction activities related
thereto. Developer agrees to mark trees to be saved over six (6) inches in diameter
as measured at a point two (2) feet above grade that are adjacent to construction areas
with a red band prior to any excavation, and to protect such trees by snow fences or
other suitable enclosures and notify Eagan when the enclosures are completed prior to
any excavation, if required by Eagan. Eagan recognizes that development of those areas
designated for non residential use on Exhibit "D" will require extensive grading, filling
and removal of trees. All diseased trees shall be removed according to City ordinance
requirements.
15.) Retaining Walls Parts of the Subject Land are very uneven with respect to
topography and it is generally the intent of both Eagan and Developer to reasonably
retain the existing topography consistent with normal construction practices and
necessities and Developer agrees to build retaining walls pursuant to reasonable requests
of Eagan as the development progresses.
16.) Screening Coincidental with the submission of each plat for final approval,
Developer shall submit a landscape and screening plan for any residential lots with
a side yard or rear yard abutting a major or minor arterial or collector street. Eagan
may require reasonable landscaping and screening of said lots abutting on such public
streets at the expense of Developer and where said screening is required, it shall be
a part of the Developer's Agreement required by Eagan for the plat.

by Eagan. At the time of final plat approval, Developer shall dedicate such part of
the Subject Land as necessary to provide the following widths for that portion of the
following major thoroughfares lying within the approved plat:
(01) County Road #30 100'
(02) County Road #32 150'
(03) Rahn Road 80'
(04) Internal Collector Streets 80'
(05) Blackhawk Road 100'
In the event any of the above major thoroughfares abut land not subject to this
Agreement, the Developer shall only dedicate one -half of the necessary right -of -way
to provide the above stated widths. Street widths not described above shall comply
with applicable provisions of the Eagan Subdivision Ordinance at the time of approval
of the appropriate preliminary plat.
Eagan, Owner and Developer acknowledge that the streets identified in (02) and
(05) of this section specify widths in excess of that required of standard minor streets
or that necessary to provide reasonable ingress and egress to the lot owners and users
of the particular subdivisions within Eagan Hills West (Excess Width); the Excess Width
is fifty (50) feet as to (02) and twenty (20) feet as to (05) of this section.
Eagan agrees to provide written certification to Owner and Developer at the time
of final plat approval that the Excess Width is required for governmental purposes and
that specifies the fair market value of the land within the Excess Width.
8.) Major and Minor Street Access Developer shall have access to major
thoroughfares abutting platted lands as agreed upon between the parties at the time
of each plat. Approval of a final plat shall permit access to major thoroughfares only
as shown on Exhibit "G" or, in the alternative, the Developer shall deliver to Eagan
recordable covenants restricting access for the particular plat to those locations shown
on Exhibit "G However, if subsequent events, particularly development on the opposite
sides of said major thoroughfares, indicate that additional accesses are advisable based
on sound planning practice, Eagan agrees to reasonably consider Developer's application
for said additional access.
9.) Assessments The parties mutually agree that all public improvements required
and installed by Eagan related to the Development shall be assessed pursuant to Chapter
429 of Minnesota State Statutes.
10.) Park, Trail and Pond Dedication Developer and Owner will dedicate to Eagan
at the time of final plat approval certain parts of the Subject Land as public parks,
trail easements or storm water holding areas (collectively, Dedicated Areas). The
Dedicated Areas are shown generally on Exhibit "C The total acreage of Dedicated
Areas, manner of dedication and credit given pursuant to Eagan ordinances for required
dedication are specified on Exhibit "F Developer and Owner will make such dedication
for lands included within a plat at the time of final plat approval by Eagan. If the
dedication made at the time of final plat approval exceeds the dedication requirements
of Eagan Ordinances for a particular plat, then the Developer shall receive credit for
such excess dedication to satisfy dedication requirements for subsequent plats.
3.
17.) Commercial Overall Plan As required by the Eagan Zoning Ordinance,
specifically Section 52.07, Subdivision 11 B1, prior to any platting or construction
in the Commercial csc -rb -lb area on Exhibit "D the Developer will present an overall
plan for said area. The allocation within the area to uses permitted and conditionally
permitted within zoning district csc -rb -lb as described in the Eagan Zoning Ordinance
shall be reasonably defined at that time and development of each area shall reasonably
be in accordance with those uses.
18.) Developer's Interest in Property Developer hereby warrants and represents
to Eagan, as inducement to Eagan's entering into this Agreement, that Developer has
an interest in the Subject Land as a developer and Owner, by executing this Agreement,
acknowledges and consents to Developer entering into this Agreement.
19.) Compliance with City Ordinances Developer and Owner agree to comply with
all Eagan City Council Ordinances consistent with this Planned Development Agreement
which may affect the Development.
20.) Buffer Area The Developer shall submit to Eagan for approval prior to the
final approval of each plat bordering existing single family development North of County
Road #30, a detailed plan for buffering and landscaping the setback area between the
single family and the non single family area.
21.) Notices Whenever in this Agreement it shall be required or permitted that
notice or demand be given or served by either party to this Agreement to or on the other
party, such notice or demand shall be delivered personally or mailed by United States
mail to the addresses hereinafter set forth by certified mail (return receipt requested).

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT KNOB HILL OF EAGAN
APPLICANT: EDMUND B. DUNN
LOCATION: SEQ OF THE SE; OF SECTION 21
NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF PILOT KNOB ROAD AND DIFFLEY
EXISTING ZONING: LIMITED BUSINESS UNDER A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 28, 1983
DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 22, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting
a revision to the commercial portion of the Knob Hill of Eagan prelim
inary plat. The proposed revision would contain approximately 12.9
acres and contain 14 commercial lots.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the property is zoned PD (Planned Development District) with
an approved Limited Business use on the 12+ acres. The Comprehensive
Guide Plan also designates this parcel as LB (Limited Business District)
for this particular location.
COMMENTS
In 1981, an application was submitted requesting a planned development
on approximately 40 acres located in the northwest quadrant of Pilot
Knob Road and Diffley Road. The preliminary plat and planned develop
mentwere approved in 1982 consisting of 150 townhouse units, 78 condo-
minium units and 5 lots for commercial office which could contain ap-
proximately 160,000 square feet of gross rental area.
The applicant has proposed to revise the 5 lots in the 12 -acre Limit-
ed Business area to allow 14 smaller lots in the same acreage. The
14 smaller lots would create more buildings on the site, however, the
total square footage which had been approved would be reduced because
of additional setbacks and lot coverage criteria.
The proposed street access would remain basically the same with in-
gress and egress on Pilot Knob Road and Diffley Road. The change oc-
curs in the site on Knob Drive; the applicant is proposing a private
cul -de -sac which would provide access to 4 smaller lots.
The applicant is not requesting any change in use from the Limited
Business District. However, the concept of the Limited Business will
be changed if approving the smaller lots. Instead of the 5 lots which
would contain larger buildings and possibly 2 -3 stories, the new con-
cept is to create approximately 1/2 acre lots which could be sold

individually for small limited business uses. Therefore, the concept
has changed in the type of limited business use than what was origi-
nally proposed. In reviewing these smaller lots, it appears that all
but two lots contain approximately 1/2 acre in size. In these 1/2
acre lots, an average building would range around 5,000 square feet.
Therefore, the scale of the development would be downplayed, however,
there would be more buildings in this particular development proposal.
The second question regarding this preliminary plat is the applicant
has a proposed buyer for Lot 8, Block 1. The applicant is a veteri-
narian and would like to set up a small veterinary clinic on Lot 8.
It was staff's understanding that this building would have no outside
uses associated with kennels or clinics and that it would be a very
low volume use in regard to traffic generation. In reviewing the or-
dinance under Limited Business, a veterinary clinic is not a permit-
ted use or a conditional use within the Limited Business District.
Since the veterinary clinic would not have any kenneling in or out-
side of the proposed facility and there are no residents within the
close proximity, the Planning Commission may want to deem this a per-
mitted use or review the potential to include this as a permitted or
a conditional use within the Limited Business District. The appli-
cant would like a clarification as to the proposed use from the Ad-
visory Commission.
If the preliminary plat is approved, it should be subject to the fol-
lowing conditions:
1) Since there are going to be many individual buildings in this
revised preliminary plat, the Advisory Planning Commission may
want to request that an architectural theme be established and
followed for all of the buildings in this particular commercial
district.
2) The Advisory Planning Commission review all site plans for the
individual lots in order that the owner of the lot is conform-
ing with the architectural control.
3) The plat should be reviewed officially by Dakota County Plat
Commission because the proposed replat abuts two County roads.
4) All buildings proposed must meet all of the criteria establish-
ed in the LB (Limited Business District) of the Eagan City Code.
5) All other City ordinances shall be adhered to.
6) The plat shall be subject to the new commercial /industrial park
dedication requirements.

RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER

KNOB HILL OFFICE SITES PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments for consideration by the Planning Commission and
City Council regarding this proposed development.
DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
Existing topography consists largely of hilly grassland with a high
elevation of 954 located at the southeast corner of this proposed de-
velopment to an elevation of 894 located in the northeast corner of
this proposed development. Correspondingly, the slopes associated
with this vast drop in elevation range from 5-30%. Consequently, the
drainage is generally northerly. However, approximately 40% of this
area lies within the drainage basin J and drains into Pond JP -37
while the remaining portion lies within drainage basin B and drains
into Pond BP -27. Pond BP -27 is provided with a positive gravity out-
let. On the other hand, Pond JP -37 does not contain a positive out-
let at this time. Nevertheless, it is not anticipated to require
one to be constructed as a result of this development.
It is being proposed to collect some of the runoff which would even-
tually end up in Pond JP -37 with storm sewer and discharge it into
the drainage basin for Pond BP -27. The parking areas behind build-
ings on Lots 1 -5, 10 and 11 of Block 1 will require grading to enable
parking lots to be constructed on their steep slopes. Subsequently,
a detailed grading and erosion control plan should be submitted for
review and approval by the Engineering Department. Otherwise, the
proposed grading and drainage appear to be adequately considered.
UTILITIES
Water main of sufficient size and capacity exist as a 12" trunk water
main along the west side of County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road) and the
southside of County Road 30 (Diffley Road) to provide service to this
proposed development. Although the sanitary sewer is not as easily
accessible as the water main, since the existing 27" trunk sanitary
sewer is located approximately 265' north of the north property line
of this proposed development. Nevertheless, it is of sufficient size,
capacity and depth to provide service to this proposed development.
Figure 2 illustrates this more clearly.
The proposed utilities to service this development include looping
the water main from the trunk on the northside of County Road 30 to
the trunk on the west side of County Road 31. The sanitary sewer
is being proposed to be extended south from the previously mentioned
27" trunk line into this proposed development to provide service to
all the lots.

STREETS
County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road) borders this parcel on the east side
and County Road 30 (Diffley Road) borders it on the south. Both roads
are under the jurisdiction of Dakota County and are presently two lane
rural sections.
The proposed internal street for this development would provide ac-
cess to both County Road 30 and 31. In addition, a private street
would provide access to Lots 9, 10 and 11 off of the proposed internal
public street. The minimum width for the public street shall be 34'
and the minimum width of the private drive shall be 28' with the cul-
de -sac at a minimum diameter of 47'. Both streets shall contain con-
crete curb and gutter and bituminous pavement designed to City stan-
dards. In either case, no on- street parking should be allowed.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
Public right -of -way for Knob Drive is proposed to be the minimum of
60'. Additional right -of -way for County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road) has
been dedicated as a part of the Knob Hill of Eagan plat. Meanwhile,
Outlot B and C of the Knob Hill of Eagan plat have been set aside to
be dedicated as additional right -of -way for County Road 30 (Diffley
Road) when it will be required with the upgrading of County Road 30.
The private road shall be dedicated as an easement for utility pur-
poses. The standard 10' utility easement will be required to be ded-
icated adjacent to all public right -of -way. In addition, a 10' drain-
age and utility easement shall be required over all interior lot lines
and unplatted property. Otherwise, a 5' drainage and utility easement
will be required adjacent to all exterior lot lines bordering platted
property. The exceptions to the above include a 20' utility easement
between Lots 4 and 5, 7 and 11, 8 and 9 and 9 and 10. In addition, a
20' easement will be required along the north lot line of Lot 9 for
utility purposes.
ASSESSMENTS
Although trunk area storm sewer and trunk area water have previously
been assessed, they were assessed at lesser zonings. Therefore, this
development shall be responsible for additional assessments resulting
from the upgrading and zoning for trunk area storm sewer and water.
The following is a breakdown of these additional assessments.
Trunk area storm sewer 11.6 acres X 43,560 sf /acre X 2.160 per acre
$10,914.00
Trunk area water 11.6 acres X $1,290 /acre 14,964.00
ENGINEERING REPORT
KNOB HILL OFFICE SITES PRELIMINARY PLAT
JUNE 23, 1983
PAGE THREE
In addition to the doove trunk area assessments, this development shall
also be responsible for its lateral benefit from trunk water main for
the frontage abutting County Road 30 and the 12" trunk. This may be
determined by applying the lateral benefit rate in effect at the time
of final plat approval times the front footage affected. Currently,
this amount would be calculated as follows:
Lateral benefit (water) $19.40 /ff X 753 front feet $14,608.00
Furthermore, all costs associated with the construction of the inter-
nal utilities and streets shall be the responsibility of this devel-
oper.
If there are any questions relating this matter, please do not hesi-
tate to contact either Thomas A. Colbert or me for assistance.

EXISTING ZONING: R -4 (RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JUNE 28, 1983
DATE OF REPORT: JUNE 23, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted to revise
the Lexington Place preliminary plat north of the proposed alignment
of Duckwood Drive. The preliminary plat would reduce the density from
312 dwelling units to 240 dwelling units located in the Wz of the W2
of Section 14.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the parcel is zoned R -4 (Residential Multiple) and would
allow only multiple development. The Land Use Guide divides the pro-
perty with two uses. To the north of Duckwood Drive the Comprehensive
Guide designates this particular tract as R -3 (Mixed Residential) with
a density of 6 -12 dwelling units per acre and south of Duckwood Drive
R -2 (Mixed Residential) with a density of 3 -6 dwelling units per acre.
The Comprehensive Guide Plan also states that existing zoning does
supersede the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Therefore, the R -4 zoning sup-
ersedes the uses proposed in the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
COMMENTS
CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT LEXINGTON PLACE
APPLICANT: U. S. HOMES CORPORATION, CHARLES WINDEN
The Advisory Planning Commission reviewed the original plat submitted
by U. S. Homes in February, 1982. The total plat consisted of approx-
imately 84.62 acres and contained 28 condominium buildings for a total
of 672 dwelling units. The revision to the preliminary plat is occur-
ring only north of Duckwood Drive. The original plat consisted of 13
24 -unit buildings for a total of 312 dwelling units. The applicant is
now proposing to reduce the density, and instead of providing thirteen
24 -unit buildings, is proposing to construct 12 two story, 16 -unit
buildings with detached garages, two 12 -unit buildings with detached
garages and three 8 -unit buildings with detached garages for a total
of 240 dwelling units. The proposed revision would be a reduction of
72 dwelling units in the north z of the proposed plat. The southern
half of the proposed plat will remain the same. The original proposal
was to have 15 24 -unit buildings for a total of 360 units south of
Duckwood Drive. The total density on this site will be 600 dwelling
units over the entire 84.62 acres. The net density for this develop-
ment will be 8.19 units per acre vs. 9.16 units per acre according to
CITY OF EAGAN
REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT LEXINGTON PLACE
JUNE 28, 1983
PAGE TWO
the original plan. Therefore, the development is well below the maxi-
mum density allowed in an R -4 (Residential Multiple District).
The proposed access and traffic circulation will remain the same as
was originally approved in the Lexington Place preliminary plat. Duck
wood Drive will continue to bisect the property and have an 80' right
of -way for an interior collector street. The applicant is proposing
a looping street to the north and also looping south and connecting to
Lexington Avenue. Therefore, the circulation appears to be adequate
for this development proposal.
The Advisory Planning Commission and City Council requested that the
southerly two units in the southerly portion of the plat be platted
as an outlot to review access to the units at a later point in time.
The developer is in agreement with this recommendation and will con-
tinue to leave the southerly two units out of the preliminary plat un-
til such time that detailed plans can be worked out as to how access
will service these units.
The original plan submitted called for 28 24 -unit buildings which were
to be 3 -story with 12 covered parking spaces attached to each end of
the building. The applicant has now changed the style of the plan to
the north where he is requesting to construct 2 -story buildings with
detached garages for the north half of the site. The southerly half
will still remain 15 24 -unit buildings with three stories.
The applicant is proposing that he provide one parking space and one
garage space per unit. It is staff's understanding that the applicant
is proposing to have a condominium project vs. a rental project which
means each of the individual units will be for sale vs. for rent. The
parking would then be one garage space and one outside space per unit
for the condominium project. The applicant has proposed one garage
space and,one outside parking space plus additional guest parking with
this development proposal.
One major issue with the original proposal of this preliminary plat
was the applicant was proposing to construct efficiency units within
the original development plan. The applicant has indicated in the
north half with the new design, there will be no efficiency units.
All of the 240 dwelling units north of Duckwood Drive will be one bed-
room, two bedroom and two bedroom with two bath. Therefore, the is-
sue regarding efficiency units will not pertain to the area north of
Duckwood Drive.
In reviewing the site plan, the applicant meets all ordinance require-
ments for setback of buildings and garages. The only setback that is
not in conformance is the 20' setback before any parking area from a
public street. Therefore, the green area between the street and park-
ing should be increased from 10' to 20'. In reviewing the plan, this
adjustment should not be difficult to meet.

If approved, the revision to the preliminary plat shall be subject to
the following conditions:
1) Cross easements and parking easements shall be granted on the
lots which are served by common access with more than one dwell-
ing unit.
2) The outside parking spaces shall be 10 X 20 feet and that park-
ing area shall be surfaced with concrete curbing around the'per-
imeter of the parking area.
3) Homeowners association and bylaws shall be submitted and review-
ed for development prior to the final plat of the first stage.
4) The applicant has submitted a typical landscape plan for a unit.
This landscape plan shall be adhered to and an adequate landscape
bond shall be required and not released until one year after the
landscaping has been completed.
5) The preliminary plat shall be reviewed by the Eagan Park Commis-
sion and subject to their recommendations. They should also re-
view the proposed amenities the developer is proposing to install
for this development proposal.
6) The preliminary plat shall be subject to Dakota County Plat Com-
mission's review and comment because the development abuts Lexing-
ton Avenue.
7) The green area between the parking area and rights -of -way shall
be increased to 20' vs. the 10' proposed.
8) All other City ordinances shall be adhered to.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: JUNE 30, 1983
SUBJECT: PARK NAMES COMMITTEE REPORT
The Sub Committee on Park Names met to review the list of submitted
name suggestions for parks on June 29, 1983.
In reviewing the submitted names, the Committee's intent was to
review each name for appropriateness, discarding those suggestions
which did not "fit the site." No judgment was made as to a pre-
ferred or suggested name. The Committee was of the opinion, how-
ever, that in some instances better name suggestions might be found
and therefore, is recommending that the Commission not feel obli-
gated to adopt names for the parks at this time. Parks, whose
names do not appear to be of a satisfactory nature to the Commission
could be tabled for additional study or until such time as further
development of the park area is underway and a better name is ad-
vanced.
The Sub Committee is recommending the Commission briefly review
the names now being suggested for parks. Then after the review,
fliers will be prepared and distributed to neighborhoods near each
park asking for comment, additional suggestions, and name prefer-
ence. Following neighborhood comment, the Commission can then
make the final selection for the park's official name.
The attached is the list of names reviewed by the Sub Committee.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: NORTHVIEW ATHLETIC FIELD PERMANENT FENCE PROPOSALS
JULY 1983
Background: Over the past several softball seasons, department
staff has received inquiries from softball players and team managers
concerning the potential for permanent fences at Northview Athletic
fields. The response from staff has always been that it is probable
that permanent fences would be installed at Northview, but such
installation would have to be some time into the future.
Presently, outfield fences consist of a temporary snow fence instal-
lation. These fences have been out since 1980 and are rapidly
deteriorating as the result of being in place throughout the year.
Fence Proposal: A proposal has been advanced and discussed among
staff for the installation of permanent fence at Northview Athletic
fields. It is estimated that fence installation at the four -field
complex would cost approximately $12,000. This includes all post,
fabric, and installation by a contractor. The proposal being ad-
vanced would ask that each of the ball players who utilize Northview
Athletic fields pay a fee up to $6 over a two -year period as a
share of the fence installation cost. With over one thousand soft-
ball players, this per player contribution would amount to $6000.
This would then be matched with an equal contribution from the
City of $6000. This money would come from the City's Parks Acquisi-
tion Development fund. The players' contribution, combined with
the $6000 from the Park Site Fund would then be sufficient to cover
the cost for fence installation.
There have been various modifications to this base proposal which
suggest both a higher fee, a lower fee, and the timing of payment
of the fee by the players. However, each proposal has been predi-
cated on the fact that the City would provide an equal match from
the Park Site Fund.
Matching Gifts Policy: In 1981, the Advisory Commission discussed,
and eventually adopted, a Matching Gifts Policy for neighborhood
groups. This policy was specifically adopted with the intent that
neighborhood requests for matching funds from the Park Site or
General Fund would be reviewed under a set of specific guidelines.
These guidelines did not address requests for matching funds for
community parks or athletic fields.
In reviewing the guidelines which were adopted for matching gifts,
the guidelines included the following:
1. That each request should be reviewed on its merit and
those requests be consistent with the established park develop-
ment plan or CIP.
NORTHVIEW ATHLETIC FIELD MEMO
Page 2
2. That any such matching money should be provided so as
not to take away from financial commitments made to other
parks or developments budgets for the year.
3. Than an understanding that the matching gift is seen as
something that may have to be changed, removed or modified
as future park development occurs or ceases to provide the
type of use originally intended.
4. That the gift is consistent with the City -wide systems
priority.
5. That a limit on the amount the City would be willing to
match for any one neighborhood group be reviewed.
The Commission may wish to use these guidelines for reviewal of
this proposal for Northview Athletic fields.
Issues to be Considered: In reviewing the fence proposal, the
installation of permanent fences at Northview Athletic fields would
be one of the next improvements to these fields. It has generally
been assumed by the City that the Northview Athletic field complex
shall become the City's premier athletic field complex. As such,
the fields would merit the installation of permanent fences.
At this time, the proposal has not been reviewed by the entire
league leadership committee or all team managers. Presentation
to the entire group concerning this proposal of player cost partici-
pation is contingent on an indication from the Advisory Commission
and City Council whether such a proposal would be reacted to favor-
ably. If the Commission and Council are receptive, this proposal
will be brought to the attention of all the team managers for com-
ment and adoption /rejection.
The Commission, in reviewing this proposal, should consider its
actions as it relates to future requests for field improvement
at Northview or other community parks. This would assist staff
in dealing with other requests which could come in future years.
Action to be Considered: The Advisory Commission should review
the suggested proposal that has been discussed for the installation
of permanent fences at Northview Athletic fields; and provide an
indication to staff on how it would react to a formal proposal.
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
SUBJECT: PROPOSED BICYCLE ROUTE RAHN ROAD, JOHNNY CAKE RIDGE
ROAD, AND BEAU D'RUE
JULY 1983
Background: In August of 1981, after several months of review
and study, the Eagan Bicycle Trails Plan was accepted and adopted
by the City Council upon recommendation of the Advisory Commission.
The Trails Plan contained a five -year program for trails develop-
ment and improvement based on trail type, location and priority.
Within this five -year program, several C -3 type trails have been
proposed for installation. (Type C -3 is a shared street right
of -way for bicyclists so designated by Bike Route signs on vertical
posts or stenciled on the pavement).
Bike Route Designation: The Eagan Bicycle Trails Plan has identi-
fied the following segments as bike routes to be completed in 1982:
Rahn Road; from Cliff to Beau D'Rue, Beau D'Rue; from Rahn Road
to Silver Bell to Highway 13; Johnny Cake Ridge; from High Line
Trail to Cliff Road. These individual trails would serve as con-
nector links from the Cedar Avenue bridge underpass to Bloomington
as well as the zoo in Apple Valley. Attached is a map showing
these trail linkages combined into a regional link along with the
High Line Trail and the existing trail on Cliff Road.
Staff is proposing that City forces be authorized to implement
the bike route designation along the routes previously mentioned
in order to institute this trail system.
These trail routes will link up existing bicycle trails and in
addition will provide directional and informational signs at key
locations. As has been mentioned, the routes recommended for signs
will provide the link for the bike riders to go to and from the
Minnesota Zoo, Cedar Avenue Bridge, as well as providing linkages
with the High Line Trail, Cliff Road, local residential feeder
streets and the Cedarvale shopping area.
Funding and Cost: The 1983 Operational Budget provided approximate-
ly $600 for bicycle trail route signs. The most recent estimate
for material costs for directional signs and route signs has been
placed at approximately $500. A second attachment for your review
has been included indicating the approximate location for these
trail route informational signs. There are approximately 28 signs
proposed over the three -mile route designation.
For Commission Review: Staff has brought this to the Advisory
Commission for review for several reasons. While staff has contin-
ued to work towards the implementation of the Bicycle Trails Plan
PROPOSED BIKE ROUTE MEMO
Page 2
while reviewing residential and commercial plats, implementation
and designation of bicycle routes has not previously been imple-
mented. Because this is the City's first route designation, Staff
feels that it would be appropriate for the Commission to have final
review of the bike route designation before installation is pur-
sued.
After review by the Advisory Commission, appropriate approval,
modification or rejection, and recommendation to the City Council
should be forthcoming. Should approvals be given, it is estimated
that it would take approximately three to four weeks for materials
to be ordered and furnished. Installation would take approximately
two days and would be done by City crews.
Additional Comment Concerning the Bicycle Trails within the Commu-
nity: The Department of Parks and Recreation currently has an
intern assigned to the Department to do graphic work. It is the
intent that this individual would complete a bicycle pamphlet com-
plete with trails map for distribution. The graphics will indicate
all existing bicycle trail routes along with those which are under
immediate plans for development. This brochure will then be made
available for distribution through City Hall and other appropriate
distribution centers.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: LAWCON GRANT APPLICATION
JULY 1983
Background: Staff has received the informational packets and forms
from the Metropolitan Council for Fiscal Year 1984 LAWCON /LCMR
Grant applications. These preliminary grant applications are due
in the offices of the Metropolitan Council by August 5, 1983.
In order for Staff to prepare the necessary materials for the grants
submission, it will be necessary for the Advisory Commission to
make a final determination at the July 7th meeting for the park
site to be designated for grant assistance.
Review: In reviewing the various park parcels that would be suit-
able for grant application, it would be the recommendation of Staff
that a grant be submitted for the development of Fish Lake Park.
Other grants considered were for aquisition around Thomas Lake
Park, the second phase development of Rahn Park, and development
of Capricorn. While all these parks have potential for grant appli-
cations, it is the opinion of Staff that grant application for
Fish Lake Park would receive a higher priority for Commission re-
view. After review by the Advisory Commission, it would be appro-
priate for the Committee to adopt a resolution or motion to the
effect that the Advisory Commission has recommended and supports
a grant for Fish Lake Park. The motion should read to the effect
that "whereas the City of Eagan has a five -year plan for parks
development, and whereas the Advisory Commission has recently re-
viewed its five -year program for updating its park development
and whereas the Parks Systems Plan Study currently being prepared
by the City has identified Fish Lake Park as its highest priority
for community improvement; now, therefore, be it resolved by the
Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission that the City of Eagan
pursue financial assistance through the appropriate State and Feder-
al agencies for the development of Fish Lake Park."
Staff will provide additional information and discussion concerning
the alternatives for grants submission at the July 7th meeting.

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JUNE 16, 1983
RE: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION TOM GUSTAFSON
Roger Martin, Chairman of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission and
myself have had several conversations regarding the continued absence of
Tom Gustafson from the Advisory Commission meetings. Tom had indicated
to this office serveral weeks ago, in a discussion with the secretary,
that it was his intent to resign from the Advisory Commission. As of
yet however, I have not received a letter from him stating that he would
be resigning. Despite a letter to him sometime ago and several telephone
attempts to make contact with him, I still have not had a response re-
garding his intentions.
The attendance records indicates that Tom has attended only one meeting
since October 1982 to the present. This includes all special and
regular commission meetings. Today I have sent another letter to Tom
requesting'a letter from him indicating his resignation or desire to
continue on the commission. However, because of his absences the last
eight (8) months perhaps we should assume that he is no longer able
to serve on the commission and should seek a replacement. In as much
as we are seeking a replacement for the position vacated by Donn Schumaker,
filling the position for Tom Gustafson, would seem to be appropriate for
timing purposes.

Dear Tom•
I've been unable to contact you regarding your status on the
Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission. My last understanding was
that you had intended to resign from the commission because of
your schedule and inability to make scheduled meetings. I still have
not received an official resignation from you and I would appreciate
you letting us know what your intentions are.
Donn Schumaker has recently had to resign from the Advisory
Commission and the City is currently seeking applicants for the
position. If it is your intent to resign from the Advisory Commission,
knowledge of a second opening /appointment could be facilitated at
the same time.
Assuming that it still remains your intent to resign from the
Advisory Commission, I would appreciate your submitting the Systems
and Guide Book to the City so it may be reassigned to a new member.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS F, RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: JUNE 2, 1983 COMMISSION MEETING
June 1983
The June Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission meeting will be pre-
ceded by an equipment demonstration by the parks and maintenance staff.
This equipment demonstration will take place at Northview Athletic
fields beginning at 5:00 P.M. The demonstration will concentrate
primarily upon the equipment the department uses in the summer. It
is anticipated that this demonstration will last approximately one
hour in length. Staff will demonstrate the equipment, explain its
uses, advantages, answer your questions; and if you would like allow
you to try your hand at operating a groundsmaster.
To accommodate the dinner hour, staff will be picking up sandwiches
from Carbone's. Your requested to call the department by 10:00 A.M.
Thursday morning to place your order. This will give sufficient time
to staff to place the order for pick up that evening.
The regular meeting of the Commission will commence at 7:00 P.M. at
City Hall. The first subject of business is development proposals.
The first item will be that of the Duckwood Trails 2nd Addition. The
Duckwood Trails Addition is for a preliminary plat consisting of
approximately 19 acres located on outlots A, B, C, D Duckwood Trails.
The applicant is seeking an amendment to the Duckwood Trails Planned
Unit Development that was to provide for a 90 unit condominium and a
58 unit townhouse. The amendment seeks to change the development to
consist of two 81 unit apartment buildings.
Although the parks land dedication has previously been satisfied with the
conveyance of. DeBoer Park to the City, the developer is proposing to
donate to the City Outlot A and B(hereafter referred to simply as Out
lot A) to the City for park purposes. This is an area of approximately
8 acres in size. The additional 8 acres would be combined with DeBoer
Park which is immediately north of this proposed development.
In the System Plan Study, members will recall that a problem of providing
a neighborhood park in service section 15 has previously been identified
as being a significant problem. Several options were reviewed by the
Consultant with the Commission which included; the purchase of additional
park land in the southeast quarter of the section and /or expanding DeBoer
Park with dedication from the Eagan Heights Commercial development at some
time in the future. A third alternative was the utilization of the exist-
ing DeBoer Park and seek additional acquistion at another location within
this service section to compliment the existing DeBoer Park.
The Commission will be asked to review the proposal of accepting the
additional 8 acres for public park purposes. The Commission will want
to consider this proposal as it relates to the park; overall section
needs and the potential for acquisition in the Eagan Heights Commercial
Park. Staff has directed the Systems Plan Consultant to prepare a base
map and concept plan in conjunction with the existing park land, to assist
June 2, 1983 Commission Meeting Memo
Page 2
the Commission in assessing the value of this 8 acre parcel for park
purposes.
Mr. Ron Erickson from Korsunsky, Krank and Erickson architects will be
available at the June meeting to present the proposed amendment to the
Duckwood Trails Planned Development and the proposal by the developer
for the transfer of this land. Enclosed for your review is the planners
report concerning this development.
PARK CLIFFE ADDITION: The Park Cliffe Addition is for rezoning residential
single to R -1 planned development to allow for deviation of the R -1 zoning
requirements. The Park Cliffe Second Addition would consist of 39 single
family lots. This development is in park service section #34 which shows
potential park acquisition in the future, west of the present Parkview
Golf course. Therefore, this proposed development should be subject to
a cash dedication requirement.
One other item for consideration by the Commission at this time is the
consideration of a 10' trailway easement between lots 11 and 12. This
10' trailway easement was originally requested by the Commission when
it first reviewed the proposed Park Cliffe Addition in 1978. At the
time, the proposed trailway would have connected the residential develop
mentinto the Dakota County Parks trail system. However, the Dakota County
trail systems plan has been changed and access to the trail from this
easement appears doubtful. Therefore, the Commission should consider
whether it still wishes to require this easement as part of the re-
quirements for the final plat.
SUNSET 2nd ADDITION: Sunset 2nd Addition consists of approximately 5 acres
of 12 single family lots. This proposed development is located in park
service section 26 and will eventually be serviced by Wedgewood Park and
Schwanz Lake Community Park. It is recommended that a cash dedication
be required.
ROBIN LANE 1st ADDITION: This development consists of approximately 9.6
acres in park service section 17. This development would consist of two
apartment buildings with 112 units plus 10 townhouse units. The Commission
should review the need for a tot lot to be provided within the development.
The developer is contemplating installation of a tennis court and outdoor
pool facility too with these units. Staff would also recommend a cash
dedication at the time of final platting.
BLACKHAWK ACRES: This development is approximately 2 acres in size and is
located in service section 17. This development is adjacent to the proposed
Robin Lane 1st Addition and consistsof 25 townhouse units. Staff will he
recommending that a cash dedication he required for this development.
MALLARD PARK 4th Addition: Mallard Park 4th Addition is a replat of Mallard
2nd Addition located in section 28. The park land dedication for Mallard
Park 2nd Addition consisted of a land dedication which has been received
by the City. Members will recall that at the previous Commission meeting,
there was a reviewal of the Mallard Park 1st Addition replat now entitled
"Tiberon At the time of the review Commission members recommended that
a letter from Willmus Family Properties be received stating the intent of
the Willmus Family Properties to follow through with the land dedication
June 2, 1983 Commission Meeting Memo
Page 3
and a clarification of the acreage to be received. In response to a letter
from staff, a letter has been received stating the agreement with the City's
contribution regarding the amount of park land owed by Wilimus properties.
Therefore, the replat of Mallard Park 2nd Addition to Mallard Park 4th
Addition is not subject to additional dedication.
OLD BUSINESS: A letter was sent to Mr. Mrs. J.H. O'Brien of 4434 Oak
Chase Road regarding the Commission's discussion and decision regarding
their request for an easement over a portion of Oak Chase Park. A reply
was received on May 11, from Mrs. O'Brien giving additional information
concerning the cost for relocation of utilities. A copy of the letter
is enclosed for your review. The O'Briens are asking the Commission to
again review their request with this additional information in mind.
SYSTEMS PLAN STUDY: Staff will review with the Advisory Commission a
concept plan for Pilot Knob Park and potential revisions to Capricorn and
Wedgewood Park sites. Comments regarding these park sites will be for-
warded to Mr. Erkkila who is now preparing the Implementation Section of
the Systems Plan Study. Staff will be reviewing a portion of the Implemen-
tation Section prior to the Commission meeting Thursday evening. However,
it is not expected that the first draft will be completed for Commission's
reviewal until mid -June. Staff will also be prepared to answer any questions
that the Commission may have in regards to the study materials to this date.
It is hoped that a meeting date might be established for later in June for
the consultant to meet with the Commission to review the system study.
NEW BUSINESS: A draft policy statement has been prepared by staff regard-
ing unauthorized and unacceptable usage of park land for private benefit,
in response to the Commission's directive at the May meeting. Please find
enclosed this policy statement for your review and modification as is
necessary.
OTHER BUSINESS /REPORTS: Staff will present a letter from Willmus Family
Properties in regards to their response to staff's letter requesting
affirmation of their intent to dedicate park land in the Mallard Park
Additions.

APPLICANT: RON ERICKSON, KORSUNSKY,KRANK ERICKSON
ARCHITECTS
LOCATION: LOT 2, BLOCK 1 AND OUTLOTS A, B, C D,
DUCKWOOD TRAILS
EXISTING ZONING: PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 24, 1983
DATE OF REPORT: MAY 18, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application submitted is a request to
amend the Duckwood Trails Planned Development. This amendment is pro-
posing to change the 90 -unit condominium and 58- townhouse units to al-
low two 81 -unit apartment buildings and dedicate land to the City of
Eagan for parkland purposes.
The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat and
detailed site plan approval for the two 81-unit apartments and an out
lot which will be dedicated for park purposes.
ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently, the zoning of the property is PD (Plan-
ned Development District) and would allow an overall density of 310
units. The proposed amendment would increase the density to 324 dwell-
ing for a net increase of 14 dwelling units.
The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this particular parcel as R -3
(Mixed Residential) with a density of 6 -12 dwelling units per acre. With
the increase of the proposed 14 units, the overall density of the devel-
opment would be approximately 9 units per acre or in the mid -range of
the proposed Land Use Guide.
COMMENTS: The original planned development for Duckwood Trails was in-
itiated on May 20, 1980. This overall planned development consisted of
33.5 acres and contained a total of 310 dwelling units. This mixture
is a 162 -unit apartment which is presently constructed, a proposed 90-
unit condominium and 58 townhouse units. Enclosed is a sketch of the
original planned development concept.
The applicant had submitted a new request for an amendment which would
change the 90 -unit condominium and 58 -unit townhouse. The applicant
is proposing to construct two 81 -unit apartment buildings for a total
of 162 units which is 14 dwelling units above the original proposal.
In return, the applicant is proposing to dedicate approximately 8 acres
to the City for parkland. This 8 acres would be a buffer area between
Duckwood Estates and the multiple units.
CITY OF EAGAN
DUCKWOOD TRAILS 2ND ADDITION AMENDMENT TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
MAY 24, 1983
PAGE TWO
In reviewing this proposal, staff sees some merits in this proposed
revision. The City will receive approximately 8 acres of parkland
having fee title to and can begin to resolve the parkland issue in
Neighborhood 15. This proposed 8 acres will tie in to the DeBoer Park
which is north of this development proposal and ultimately tie in to
some additional land in the Eagan Heights Commercial area. In the
combination of land, the City will then have obtained enough land with-
in Section 15 to provide adequate land for a neighborhood park. There-
fore, the proposal to shift or modify, the planned development and in-
crease the dwelling units by 14 is an equitable trade off for the de-
dication of parkland.
The proposed development will consist of two 81 -unit apartment build-
ings of which 57 units will be 1- bedroom, 99 units will be 2- bedroom
and 6 units will be 3- bedroom. The proposed building will have 162
underground parking spaces or one parking space per dwelling unit.
The applicant is proposing 166 surface parking which is just over one
outside parking space per dwelling unit. The applicant is proposing
to reduce the outside parking spaces if they require a garage space
to be rented as part of the total price for dwelling unit rent. This
has been proposed by the Planning Commission in the past and feel this
would be adequate parking for their proposed facility.
The applicant is proposing to locate the buildings as far east as possi-
ble on the site to create as much buffer and open space between Duck
wood Estates and the proposed development. The access would be off of
Duckwood Trail; the applicant is looking at a secondary access onto Lex-
ington Avenue to provide a better circulation. The Engineering Divi-
sion has reviewed this and will comment regarding this secondary ac-
cess.
Lot 1, Block 1, where the two buildings are proposed, contains 374,121
square feet or approximately 8.5 acres. The proposed buildings contain
approximately 64,000 square feet for a lot coverage of 17 The pro-
posed land or Outlot A to be dedicated to the City will contain 408,147
square feet or 9.3 acres. If the two buildings are averaged for den-
sity over the two parcels, the lot coverage would then be 8.3%. Either
way it is calculated, the two buildings are within the 20% lot coverage
requirements of the City Code.
If approved, the planned development and preliminary plat should be sub-
ject to the following conditions:
1) A revised planned development agreement or amendment to the plan-
ned development agreement shall be entered into and signed by both
the City and the developer.
2) A development agreement shall be entered into prior to the final
plat.
3) Outlot A be transmitted to the City as parkland.

landscaping has been completed.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: MAY 18, 1983
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT DUCKWOOD TRAILS 2ND ADDITION
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the
following comments pertaining to the above proposed subdivision:
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and water main facilities of sufficient size, depth
and capacity to handle this proposed development have previously
been installed under Project 308 for the Duckwood Trail apartment
complex immediately to the south. In addition, there presently
exists an 18" trunk water main located on the west side of Lexing-
ton Avenue adjacent to this proposed subdivision. The proposed
buildings will only have to provide individual service connections
to these existing utilities.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
The topography generally slopes from Lexington Avenue and Duckwood
Trail at 914.0 towards O'Lear_7 Lake which has a controlled water
elevation of 822.2. This controlled water elevation for O'Leary
Lake (DP -7) is maintained by a gravity storm sewer outlet construc-
ted under Project 322 in 1982. This provides drainage from O'Leary
Lake to the east side of Lexington Avenue into Pond DP -18 which is
presently having its gravity storm sewer outlet installed under Pro-
ject 362 (Tomark 2nd Addition) to Pond DP -10 located in the south-
east corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington Avenue. Further
downstream, storm sewer improvements will be installed as develop-
ment and drainage requirements dictate. It is not anticipated that
the development of these proposed apartment complexes will acceler-
ate the need for further downstream storm sewer improvements at the
present time. Enclosed as Exhibit A is a map showing the relation-
ship of this proposed development to the City's trunk storm sewer
plan.
O'Leary Lake (DP -7) is a protected wetland under the jurisdiction
of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The grading plan
submitted with the proposed development shows encroachment into
the protected wetlands area of this lake which will require the
issuance of a DNR permit and possibly one from the U. S. Army Corps
of Engineers based on the City's past experience in constructing
the outlet for O'Leary Lake in 1982.
In any event, extensive erosion control measures will have to be
implemented during the construction phase of this process and
maintained until all erosion susceptible surfaces have been estab-
lished with hard surfacing or sod.

In addition, as a condition of this preliminary plat approval, the
developer should complete the unfinished grading over Outlot A
which is proposed to be dedicated as park property. The present
uncompleted grading within Outlot A was deleted from the City con-
tract at the request of the developer due to their previously pro-
posed condominium building construction to occur within that out
lot two years ago.
STREETS
Access to this site will be by way of Duckwood Trail which is pre-
sently constructed to its ultimate design section to handle the
anticipated traffic volumes to be generated by this development.
The development provides for two entrances onto Duckwood Trail with
a third entrance onto Lexington Avenue at the north end of the pro-
posed development. The staff recommends that this connection to
County Road 43 (Lexington Avenue) be deleted from the site plan and
that an internal cul -de -sac area be constructed at the north end
of Building 2. Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) will be upgraded
in the future to a 4 -lane major thoroughfare. With the existing
intersection of Duckwood Trail and the proposed future intersections
of Golfview Drive (Tomark 3rd Addition) and the access to the 100
acre Eagan Heights Commercial Park to the north, this driveway ac-
cess does not conform to City or County guidelines pertaining to
spacings of access onto County roads.
RIGHT -OF -WAY /EASEMENTS
All right -of -way necessary for Duckwood Trail and Lexington Avenue
have previously been dedicated under the Duckwood Trail plat. How-
ever, this proposed development has Building 2 located over the
existing storm sewer outlet from O'Leary Lake which is located with-
in a 20' drainage and utility easement. This storm sewer outlet for
O'Leary Lake will have to be relocated around the north end of Build-
ing 2 with a new drainage and utility easement to accommodate the
relocated alignment. In addition, the existing easement under Build-
ing 2 will have to be vacated. All costs associated with this re-
location, vacation of easements and new dedication shall be the re-
sponsibility of the developer in conformance with approved City stan-
dards.
In addition, the proposed development shows Building 1 encroach-
ing within the dedicated ponding easement.for O'Leary Lake in addi-
tion to additional fill being placed within this ponding easement.
If the buildings cannot be relocated to avoid a conflict with the
existing ponding easement, sections of it will have to be vacated
and rededicated with the final plat. Any final ponding easements
to be dedicated shall incorporate the 885.0 contour elevation.

TAC /jack
Outlots A, B, C and D have previously been assessed for all relat-
ed assessment responsibilities under Project 308 (Duckwood Trail
Apartments). However, there is a deferred assessment for lateral
benefit from trunk water main for the existing 18" trunk water main
located on the west side of Lexington Avenue that was previously
deferred until the development of this adjacent outlot. This de-
ferred assessment would be levied at the rates in effect at the
time of final plat approval. It would incorporate the frontage
along Lexington Avenue which is approximately 556'. Based on this
information, the additional assessment responsibility would be as
follows:
In addition, present City policy requires that all land to be de-
dicated for City park purposes must have all past levied or pend-
ing assessments paid for by the developer prior to transferring
the land to the City. Under the original Duckwood Trail subdivi-
sion and subsequent public street and utility improvement contract,
the assessments associated with Lot 2, Block 1 were to be the re-
sponsibility of Outlot A. Therefore, this development will be re-
sponsible for paying in full the assessments associated with Out
lot A, Outlot B and Lot 2, Block 1, Duckwood Trail Addition as a
condition of their park dedication requirements.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS /CONCERNS
Parking lot layout as proposed provides adequate access to both
apartment buildings. Parking stall dimensions shall be 10' X 18'
minimums with concrete curb and gutter incorporating all hard sur-
face paving areas.
Additional questions or concerns by the applicant or the Planning
Commission can be discussed at the Planning Commission meeting to
be held on May 24, 1983.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Cheryl Zinter Barrett Construction
FROM: James A. Benshoof
SUBJ: Trip Generation and Distribution Characteristics for
Proposed Duckwood Trails Two Development
BACKGROUND
This is to provide in- formation requested by the City of Eagan
regarding your proposed Duckwood Trails Two development.
Specifically, this memorandum documents the trip generation
and distribution characteristics expected for the development.
The Duckwood Trails. Two development addressed in this
memorandum, would consist of two buildings, each with 81
apartment units. The development site is located on the
north side of Duckwood Trail just south of O'Leary Lake and
west of Lexington Avenue. Primary access would be to /from
Duckwood Trail, with a secondary access point for one
building proposed to be located on Lexington Avenue about 550
feet north of Duckwood Trail.
TRIP GENERATION
REFER TO FILE: 83 -34 -18
The purpose of trip generation information is to understand
the amount of traffic that the development would generate.
The Institute of Transportation Engineers has published a
document entitled, "Trip Generation," which provides infor-
mation on trip generation rates for different types of deve-
lopment, based on traffic counts at existing developments
throughout the country. Applying these trip generation rates
to the proposed Duckwood Trails Two development, the resultant
trip generation projections on a daily basis and for the a.m.
and p.m. peak hours are as shown in Table 1.

ADDITION
APPLICANT: PARKCLIFF DEVELOPMENT CO., RICHARD WINKLER
LOCATION: PART OF THE NWQ OF THE NEQ OF SECTION 34
PARKCLIFF 2ND ADDITION
EXISTING ZONING: R -1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 24, 1983.
DATE OF REPORT: MAY 17, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application submitted is a request
to rezone Parkcliff 2nd Addition from R -1 (Residential Single District)
to R -1 PD (Residential Single District Planned Development) to allow
deviation from the R -1 zoning requirements.
The second application is a request for a revised preliminary plat,
Parkcliff 2nd Addition, consisting of 39 single family lots.
ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently the parcel is zoned R -1 (Residential
Single District) and would allow only single family lots which would
have a minimum of 12,000 square feet. The Comprehensive Guide Plan
also designates this parcel as R -1 (Residential Single District) with
a density of 0 -3 dwelling units per acre.
COMMENTS: As you may recall, Richard Winkler made a short presentation
to the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council on April 12, 1983.
In this appearance, Mr. Winkler had requested that a hardship be look-
ed at in regard to the 60% bond requirement for the extension of utili-
ties. In this meeting, the City Council gave the indication that Mr.
Winkler should submit the preliminary plat, and the City Council would
then consider the hardship for the bonding for utilities.
Parkcliff phase one and phase two originally were proposed to contain
a total of 66 single family lots. The first phase of Parkcliff which
has been constructed contains 25 single family lots. The second phase
which is under consideration at this time is proposed to contain 49
single family lots. This would be a net increase of 8 single family
lots above the original proposal. These 8 lots have been added in the
northeasterly portion of the plat. Lots 9 -13, Block 1 were originally
proposed as one single family lot and the lots on the east side of
Parkridge Drive have been reduced from 112' lot widths to 95' lot
widths to add an additional few lots on the east side of Parkridge
Drive.
In reviewing the net density, the proposed original plat consisting
of 66 lots contained a net density of 2.03 dwelling units per acre.
The 74 lots being proposed at this time now has a net density of 2.3
CITY OF EAGAN
REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT PARKCLIFF 2ND ADDITION
MAY 24, 1983
PAGE TWO
dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the overall density is still with-
in the guidelines of the R -1 land use for 0 -3 dwelling units per acre.
The reason the application for rezoning to the R -1 PD is that on the
south and east side of Parkridge Drive, the applicant has reduced the
lot widths from 100' widths to 90' and 95' lot widths. The depths of
the lots is the reason why the application for rezoning is requested.
The width from Parkridge Drive and the boundary of the property is 110',
thus the applicant is providing adequate width but cannot get the depth
to be able to obtain the 12,000 square foot per lot. The square foot-
age on Lots 12 -19, Block 2 drop to 10,450 square feet. However, the
lot width is 95'. Hence, the applicant cannot meet the square foot-
age requirement and therefore the applicant is requesting the planned
development zoning to allow a deviation from the lot size requirement.
In reviewing this plan, it was stated earlier in this report that the
applicant is proposing an increase of 8 single family lots. If the
applicant would reduce the increase to 7 lots, he could then meet the
square footage requirement and width requirement for R -1 zoning. How-
ever, the applicant has requested that the City review the potential
for the 8 additional lot due to the fact that there will
never be development to the south or to the east of this proposed plat
because it abuts a County park.
In the original review of the Parkcliff preliminary plat, there is an
exception for a parcel which Mr. Winkler does not own. In the original
proposal, staff had suggested stubbing a street to this exception which
could then eliminate one direct access onto Cliff Road in the future.
However, the party who owns the exception wanted nothing to do with
this stub street to provide access, so the City and County in the fu-
ture will have to allow a second access onto Cliff Road in the future.
Since the special meeting of the Advisory Planning Commission held on
May 10, 1983, staff has requested that the applicant prepare a grading
plan and show how the houses can be constructed on the lots which do
not meet the 12,000 square foot requirement. Because of the short no-
tice to the developer, it was unable to be attached to this packet,
but the developer has indicated that he will have this ready to review
with the Advisory Planning Commission on May 24th.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) A developer's agreement be prepared and signed prior to final
plat approval.
2) A planned development agreement be prepared and signed prior to
final plat approval.
3) All easements be dedicated as requested by City staff.

6) The plat be subject to Dakota County Plat Commission's review
and comment because the plat has access on Cliff Road.

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: .THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: MAY 19, 1983
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT PARKCLIFF 2ND ADDITION
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the fol-
lowing comments pertaining to the above referenced application:
UTILITIES
Trunk water main of sufficient size and capacity to handle this pro-
posed development is immediately available to this subdivision locat-
ed on the south side of Cliff Road. In addition, sanitary sewer can
be extended into this plat from the existing manhole on the south side
of Cliff Road at the intersection of Oak Chase Road. However, because
the developer has not submitted a grading plan delineating the propos-
ed elevations of the lots within the 2nd Addition, the Engineering Di-
vision is uncertain whether the elevations of this sewer will be ade-
quate to handle the low lying lots within the 2nd Addition. Based on
the elevation of the existing sanitary sewer, only those lots above a
965.0 surface elevation could adequately be serviced by this existing
sanitary sewer. However, we cannot determine if there are any lots
below this restrictive elevation at the present time.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
The general topography of this subdivision slopes from the west at an
elevation of approximately 1045.0 to the east plat line at an eleva-
tion of 930.0 All surface drainage would be directed to the east
into the Dakota County Regional Park and ultimately into Holland Lake.
The attached trunk storm sewer map shows the relationship of this sub
division to the drainage within the Dakota County Park.
When the Parkcliff 1st Addition was processed in 1978, Dakota County
had serious concerns pertaining to the drainage from this subdivision
through park property and ultimately into Holland Lake. The original
plat for this area provided for a detention storage pond to be locat-
ed in the center of the proposed Block 1 with a controlled storm sewer
outlet discharging into Dakota County property. A review by the Da-
kota County Plat Commission required that "the proposed overflow must
have an agreement with the County before constructed into County owned
property. In this agreement, the size of the pipe, the elevation of
the inlet and outlet must be designated; and also stipulated as to
maintenance and upkeep of said structure." as per a letter dated April
10, 1979. The staff has not received any detailed grading, drainage
or erosion control plans that delineate the proposed storm sewer, pond
ing areas or downstream drainage requirements by the County. Subse-
quently, the staff cannot make any recommendations pertaining to the
feasibility of the development of this 2nd Addition until these de-
tailed drainage and erosion control problems are satisfactorily re-
solved.
ENGINEERING REPORT
PRELIMINARY PLAT PARKCLIFF 2ND ADDITION
MAY 24, 1983
PAGE TWO
STREETS
The proposed subdivision of the 2nd Addition provides for a connection
to the existing streets constructed under the 1st Addition with a con-
nection to Cliff Road which would provide two entrances into this sub-
division from Cliff Road. However, because of the steep topography of
this property, it is unlikely that the development will be able to
meet the Subdivision Ordinance requirement of a maximum street grade
of 8% or less. However, staff has not received any grading plans to
indicate the proposed grades or elevation of the streets within the
2nd Addition. Therefore, no comment can be offered at this time per-
taining to the feasibility of this subdivision in relationship to ac-
cessibility.
The Dakota County Plat Commission has previously concurred with this
second access onto Cliff Road as being acceptable. However, they have
indicated that in the future, if and when Cliff Road is ever upgraded,
one of the two entrances may be restricted to a right -in right -out only.
EASEMENTS /RIGHTS -OF -WAY
A 75' half right -of -way shall be dedicated for County Road 32 (Cliff
Road). Due to the topography and heavy trees in this subdivision, it
is recommended that a 60' right -of -way be provided to incorporate all
necessary utilities within the boulevard areas that would normally go
within a 10' easement outside of the dedicated right -of -way. Without
the ability to review a grading and drainage plan detailing surface
water and storm sewer management, the staff is unable to recommend a
storage capacity, location or elevations for any internal required
ponding areas.
All typical common lot line drainage and utility easements shall be
dedicated on the final plat in addition to whatever subsequent pond
ing easements may be determined to be necessary.
ASSESSMENTS
This property has not been assessed for any lateral benefit from trunk
water main associated with the 24" trunk water main installed under
Project 261 along the south side of Cliff Road. In addition, there
have been no trunk area storm sewer, sanitary sewer, or water area
assessments levied which should be a condition of final plat approval.
All trunk related assessments should be at the rate in effect at the
time of final plat approval and based on final dimensions and area
calculations as defined by the final plat. Based on the preliminary
plat information and 1983 rates, these trunk assessment obligations
are summarized as follows:
ENGINEERING REPORT
PRELIMINARY PLAT PARKCLIFF 2ND ADDITION
MAY 24, 1983
PAGE THREE
SUBTOTAL $75,621.93
These additional assessments associated with the development of this
property will be due and payable with final plat approval unless they
are listed as a pending assessment under some subsequent future City
project or a. "Waiver of Hearing Consent to Assessments" is executed
prior to final plat application.
All costs associated with the installation of streets and utilities
to service this subdivision must be the entire responsibility of this
development.
OTHER CONCERNS /COMMENTS
Again, because staff did not receive adequate information pertaining
to proposed elevations, we cannot comment as to certain critcal lots
and their ability to be developed based on elevations in relationship
to sanitary sewer or access from the internal streets.
In addition, staff experienced difficulties with this applicant in
controlling erosion during the development of the 1st Addition. Ex-
tensive erosion, siltation and sedimentation occurred with poor re-
sponse from the developer regarding the required cleanup as requested
by the City. This second phase, with its more extreme and difficult
topography, is more susceptible to severe extensive erosion. There-
fore, a very detailed erosion control plan and implementation sched-
ule will have to be reviewed and approved prior to final plat appli-
cation.
Due to the many concerns of the Engineering Division pertaining to
sanitary sewer service, storm sewer ponding areas, drainage impact
on County Park, street grades, erosion control, etc., the staff is
recommending that this preliminary plat application be continued at
least 30 days to require the applicant to submit the necessary in-
formation to allow an adequate review by the Engineering Division so
that proper recommendations can be made for consideration by the
Planning Commission.
1) Trunk area sanitary sewer: 18.4 acres (net) at $1,070 /acre
$19,688.00
2) Trunk area water: 18.4 acres (net) at $1,070 /acre
$19,688.00
3) Trunk area storm sewer: 801,750 square feet (net) at 4.31 /sf
$34,555.43
4) Lateral benefit from trunk water main: 105 1.f.(corner lot credit
applied) at 16.10 /1.f.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT SUNSET 2ND
ADDITION
APPLICANT: ARLENE KRECKLAU
LOCATION: PART OF THE SZ OF THE NW4 SECTION 25
EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 24, 1983
DATE OF REPORT: MAY 19, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application submitted is a request
to rezone approximately 5 acres from A (Agricultural) to R -1 (Resi-
dential Single District).
The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat
approval, Sunset 2nd Addition, which would consist of approximately
5 acres and contain 12 single family lots.
ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently, the parcel is zoned Agricultural and
would only allow one home per 5 acres. The Comprehensive Guide Plan
designates this parcel as R -1 (Residential Single District) with a
density of 0 -3 dwelling units per acre.
COMMENTS: During the past month, the City had received an applica-
tion for Sunset 1st Addition which is located just north of the exist-
ing property. One of the conditions of the Sunset 1st Addition was
that adequate access for right -of -way be obtained for Hackmore Drive.
The application now submitted, Sunset 2nd Addition, will be providing
the 25' half right -of -way for Hackmore Drive.
Access to this development is by a cul -de -sac, Kirsten Court, which
would extend 450' in to the property. The applicant is proposing to
plat 12 single family lots of which all lots meet minimum R-1 zoning
standards.
In reviewing this particular subdivision, staff was looking if access
had to be provided to adjacent properties. The parcel directly south
where the road could continue on abuts Golden Meadow Road on two sides.
Therefore, the property to the south has adequate access for develop-
ment in the future.
The applicant presently has a house on the 5 -acre parcel. This house
is located on Lot 5 of the plat. In review of this lot, the house
would meet all setback requirements and conform with all regulations
of the new plat and zoning standards. The question may be raised,
since the house is presently on a septic system and well, that at what
point the house would have to connect up to City services.

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: MAY 19, 1983
SUBJECT: SUNSET 2ND ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments for consideration by the Advisory Planning Commis-
sion and City Council on this development.
DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
The existing topography consists of two small knolls at an elevation
of approximately 937.0. Meanwhile, the slopes associated over this
parcel generally do not exceed 8% with the exception of the extreme
southwest corner of this parcel where the slopes exceed 16 Corres-
pondingly, the drainage from this parcel is to the north, west and
south. Furthermore, this parcel is situated with the drainage basin
for Pond LP -32 (Schwanz Lake). Presently, this pond has no outlet,
however, the City's consulting engineering firm is in the process of
studying this pond and several others within the City to determine
when it would be appropriate to construct the controlled outlet ele-
vations. Figure 1 more clearly illustrates the relationship between
this parcel and the drainage area.
In order to contain the drainage from this development from impact-
ing adjacent land, storm sewer should be extended from the trunk
within Golden Meadow Road to the north to service this property. At
the same time, this storm sewer can be extended north to serve the
Sunset 1st Addition thereby eliminating the necessity of utilizing
Lot 1, Block 1 for ponding purposes.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, depth and capacity exist within Hack
more Drive to the east line of this property. The sewer and water
within Hackmore Drive are to be extended west as a part of the Sun-
set 1st Addition. Existing utilities are shown in Figure 2. If con-
structed privately, the plans and specifications for the utility and
street construction shall be prepared by a registered engineer and
submitted to the Engineering Department for approval. As for the
proposed utility layout, the water main should be extended to the
south property line between Lots 6 and 7 to facilitate future ex-
tension.
STREETS
Access to this development will be off of Hackmore Drive when it is
extended to the west. Hackmore Drive shall be a 32' face -to -face
wide street with concrete curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing.
This street is scheduled to be completed with Sunset 1st Addition.
ENGINEERING REPORT
SUNSET 2ND ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
MAY 24, 1983
PAGE TWO
The proposed street is to be a cul -de -sac off of Hackmore Drive. This
cul -de -sac is within the 550' limit as set by City code. The internal
street should be 32' wide face -to -face with concrete curb and gutter
and bituminous surfacing.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
Presently, the right -of -way for Hackmore Drive has not been dedicated.
However, the entire 50' right -of -way for Hackmore Drive is intended
to be dedicated with Sunset 1st Addition, but if it isn't, it should
be a requirement of this plat to dedicate a 25' half right -of -way for
Hackmore Drive. In addition, the proposed 60' right -of -way for Kir-
sten Court shall be dedicated as a part of this plat with the align-
ment the same as for the street to the north within Sunset 1st Addi-
tion.
Since storm sewer will be required for this plat, an easement of suf-
ficient width will be required for the storm sewer line as it crosses
the property immediately south of this proposed development. This
will be required to be obtained prior to final plat approval. In
addition, a 10' utility easement should be required to be dedicated
along all publicly- dedicated right -of -way with a 5' drainage easement
being dedicated along all exterior lot lines and a 10' utility and
drainage easement to be dedicated and centered over all interior lot
lines with the exception of the lot lines between Lots 5 and 6 and
between Lots 6 and 7. In these cases, the utility easements should
be 20' in width.
ASSESSMENTS
Trunk area assessments for sanitary sewer and water have previously
been assessed for this parcel. However, storm sewer trunk area assess-
ments have not been levied, and therefore should be considered as a
part of this final plat approval at the rates which are in effect at
that time. Currently, this would amount to $7,960 (4.24 acres X
43,560 square feet per acre X 0.0431 dollars per square foot). All
costs for installing the internal utilities and streets shall be
the sole responsibility of this development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the
Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting on May 24, 1983.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT ROBIN LANE 1ST ADDITION
APPLICANT: METRAM PROPERTIES, VASCO BERNARDI
LOCATION: PART OF THE SW4 OF THE SE4 OF SECTION 17
EXISTING ZONING: R (RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT)AND R
(RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOUSE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 24, 1983
DATE OF REPORT: MAY 19, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting
preliminary plat approval, Robin Lane 1st Addition, consisting of
approximately 9.6 acres which would contain 2 apartment buildings
with 112 dwelling units and 10 townhouse units located in the part
of the SA of the SE4 of Section 17.
ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently, the parcel is zoned R -4 (Residen-
tial Multiple District) and R -3 (Residential Townhouse District).
The application submitted is consistent with the existing zoning and
the density permitted within the R -4 and R -3 zoning districts. The
Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this parcel as R -4 and R -3 and
the development is consistent with the proposed Land Use Guide.
COMMENTS
In review of this application, the biggest and most crucial issue to
this development proposal is the access to the site. In review of
access, the triangular portion is the only undeveloped portion along
Silver Bell Road. To the east of the proposed development are the
Manitou Townhouses which have private drives providing access to that
development. To the west is Shannon Glen Condominiums which take di-
rect access onto Silver Bell Road. The triangular portion undevelop-
ed is zoned R -4 and does not have direct access to Silver Bell Road.
Therefore, the triangular multiple zoned parcel is landlocked from
access to Silver Bell Road. The applicant has met with the Manitou
Townhouse Association to see if they could purchase access through
Golden Hill Terrace. The Manitou Association and Metram Properties
could not reach an agreement so this access could be worked out.
Therefore, the access to the property will be from Robin Lane. Pre-
sently, Robin Lane is a dedicated unimproved street running north of
the property. Utilities have been provided in Robin Lane, but the
street has not been constructed to City standards. The street will
have to be upgraded in order to provide access to this development.
From Robin Lane, the applicant is proposing a private street to pro-
vide access to this development proposal. The private street is
approximately 800' long and would terminate in the parking lot of
Building B of the proposed development.

PRELIMINARY PLAT ROBIN LANE 1ST ADDITION
MAY 24, 1983
PAGE TWO
As stated above, the access would be provided by this private street,
however, Golden Hill Terrace and Bluebill Drive could be used for
emergency vehicles if the private street was ever blocked.
The proposed development will consist of two apartment buildings con-
taining a total of 112 units. Each building would contain 24 one
bedroom units, 26 two bedroom units and 6 three bedroom units for a
total of 56 units per building. The applicant is proposing to pro-
vide 116 underground parking spaces and 108 outside spaces for a
total of 224 parking spaces. The applicant has proposed only a total
of two spaces per unit instead of the'required 2.5 spaces per unit.
This request has been reviewed by the Advisory Planning Commission in
the past, and as long as the applicants require an underground park-
ing space be rented with each unit in the building or the applicant
provide the additional 56 outside parking spaces for the two apartment
buildings, this requirement will be met.
In review of this layout and design, it appears that the parking
spaces are a 9 X 20 or 18 dimension. The present ordinance requires
a 18 -20' length and a 10' width. Therefore, the existing parking
should be expanded to the. 10' parking width requirement of the City
code.
The R -4 zoning consists of 7.3 acres and the 112 units are within the
density requirements of the R -4 zoning. The lot coverage for the
two apartment buildings are 14.6%, which is also within the City
code requirements. The applicant has met all setback requirements
and other City code requirements.
The townhouse portion of the site is at the northerly end of the
property under consideration. The R -3 zoning consists of 2.3 acres
and the 10 townhouse units are within the density for the R -3 zoning.
The townhouse portion meets all setback requirements and lot cover-
age requirements in accordance with the City code.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) A development agreement be signed and entered into prior to
final plat approval.
2) Robin Lane shall be upgraded in order to provide proper access
to this development.
3) The parking space shall be in conformance with the Eagan City
Code which is a 10 X 20 dimension.
4) If two parking spaces per unit are allowed for this develop-
ment, the applicant must rent an indoor parking space with
each of the dwelling units or the applicant shall conform
to the parking requirements of one covered space per unit and
11 outside parking spaces per unit.

wide with concrete curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing.
10) The parking areas shall have concrete curbing around the peri-
meter with any interior islands consisting of concrete curbing
also.
11) The entire right -of -way of Robin Lane shall be dedicated as a
part of the final plat.

water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer to be constructed
within this proposed development.
13) A 10' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to all public
right -of -way with a minimum of a 5' utility and drainage ease-
ment being dedicated along all exterior lot lines and a 10'
utility and drainage easement dedicated over all interior lot
lines.
14) A ponding easement will be required to encompass the 840.0 high
water level elevation of Pond AP -38.
15) This development shall be responsible for its additional storm
sewer trunk assessment resulting from upgrading of zoning from
residential to multiple.
16) All costs for installation of internal utilities and streets
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: MAY 19, 1983
SUBJECT: ROBIN LANE 1ST ADDITION- PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments to be considered by the Advisory Planning Commis-
sion and the City Council:
UTILITIES
Due to the topography of this site, some of the utilities existing
within Robin Lane, Bluebill Drive and Golden Hill Terrace are not
of either sufficient depth or pressure to service this proposed de-
velopment. For example, sanitary sewer within Bluebill Drive and
Golden Hill Terrace is not of sufficient depth to provide service
to this proposed development. However, the sanitary sewer within
DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
The topography of this parcel consists of rolling terrain which pro-
vides for excellent natural drainage. Subsequently, much relief
exists over this parcel with a high elevation in the vicinity of the
northwest corner of Lot 1 of 870.0 falling to a low elevation of
810.0 located approximately at the midpoint of Outlot A. Correspond-
ingly, the steepest slope exceed 33% (3.1) located along the norther-
ly portion of this parcel with the flattest slopes being approximate-
ly 8% and located on the southern portion of this proposed development.
Subsequently, the drainage for this parcel is to be north for approx-
imately the north half of this parcel and to the west for the approx-
imate south half of this parcel. This drainage to the west is a por-
tion of the drainage area for Pond AP -38 which presently has a posi-
tive outlet with the controlled elevation established at 838.0. Mean-
while the drainage from the north half of this parcel is towards the
north in the direction of Pond AP -27. This pond is connected to the
Blackhawk Lake trunk outlet which discharges into the Minnesota River
basin. Figure 1 more clearly illustrates the drainage patterns.
The proposed grading will adhere fairly closely to the existing con-
tours with most of the grading being for the installation of the pri-
vate internal street across Lot 1,and due to the hilly terrain, it
will be necessary for this street to be at the maximum allowable
slope of 8%. Even then, a retaining wall must be constructed along
the east side of a portion of this street. An approved grading/ero-
sion control plan will be required prior to final plat approval.
Meanwhile, no additional trunk storm sewer construction will be re-
quired as a result of implementation of this, development. However,
some internal storm sewer for drainage of parking lots and streets
will be required. This will be reviewed with staff as a part of the
developer's utility plans.

ROBIN LANE 1ST ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
MAY 24, 1983

Robin Lane is of sufficient depth, size and capacity to provide ser-
vice to this proposed development. On the other hand, the water
main within Robin Lane is not of sufficient pressure to provide ser-
vice to the entire proposed development since it is located within a
low pressure service area. However, it is of sufficient pressure to
service the future townhouses within Outlot A. Otherwise, the exist-
ing water main within the Townview Addition streets is of sufficient
size, capacity and pressure to provide service to ,the,'remainder of
this proposed development which is located within the high pressure
service area. Finally, storm sewer is located within Robin Lane and
consists of 36" trunk with eventual discharge into the Minnesota Ri-
ver basin and a 21" lateral with its discharge into Pond AP -27. Al-
though there is storm sewer within Bluebill Circle, it is not of suf-
ficient depth to provide service to this proposed development.
If utilities are to be installed privately, then plans and specifi-
cations must be submitted to the Engineering Department for review
to insure adherence to City standards and shall be prepared by a re-
gistered engineer.
STREETS
Access to this proposed development will be provided off of Robin
Lane since this is the only public right -of -way this parcel abuts.
Presently, Robin Lane is an unimproved road but designated for con-
struction this summer under Project 368.
The proposed internal private street providing access to this devel-
opment shall be a minimum of 28' wide with concrete curb and gutter
and bituminous surfacing. Meanwhile, the parking areas should have
concrete curbing around the perimeter with any interior islands being
concrete curbing. Parking spaces should be 10'X 20', as per City code,
and driving aisles shall be 24' in width.
Even though only one access can be provided to this development be-
cause of its landlocked situation, it is felt that emergency vehicles
could utilize Golden Hill Terrace and be within 60' of Building B.
In addition, the proposed parking lots are laid out so that circula-
tion should not be impeded.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
This proposed development should dedicate the entire right -of -way of
Robin Lane which crosses the northeast corner of Outlot A.
A minimum of a 20' utility easement will be required over all water
main, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer to be constructed within this
proposed development. In addition, a 10' utility easement shall be
dedicated adjacent to public right -of -way with a minimum of 5'

utility and drainage easement being dedicated along all exterior lot
lines and a 10' utility and drainage easement dedicated over all in-
terior lot lines. In addition, a ponding easement will be required
to encompass the 840.0 high water level elevation of Pond AP -38.
ASSESSMENTS
All area assessments have been levied for sanitary sewer, water, and
storm sewer on this proposed preliminary plat. However, Outlot A of
Townview Addition and Parcel No. 020 -80 will require upgrading of the
storm sewer trunk area assessment from residential to multiple. This
corresponds to an increase of 1.08 per square foot or a total increase
of $3,458.00 (7.35 acres X 43,560 square feet per acre X .0108). In
addition, there is a pending assessment under Project 368 for the con-
struction of Robin Lane. Although the parcels making up this prelim-
inary plat have not been assessed for lateral benefit from trunk water
or sewer, it is felt this development would not benefit from such assess-
ment.
All costs for installation of internal utilities and streets shall be
the sole responsibility of this proposed development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Plan-
ning Commission at their meeting of May 24, 1983.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT BLACKHAWK
ACRES REPLAT
APPLICANT: HERBERT W. BERGSTROM, JR.
LOCATION: LOTS 7 -12, BLACKHAWK ACRES, SECTION 17
EXISTING ZONING: R -4 (RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT) AND R -3
(RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOUSE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 24, 1983
DATE OF REPORT: MAY 19, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application submitted is a request
to rezone approximately 2 acres from R -4 (Residential Multiple Dis-
trict) to R -3 (Residential Townhouse District) for a townhouse devel-
opment located on Lots 7 -12, Blackhawk Acres, Section 17.
The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat
approval consisting of approximately 5.5 acres containing 25 town-
house units located on Lots 7 -12, Blackhawk Acres.
ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently, the parcel is zoned R- 4.(Residen-
tial Multiple District) and R -3 (Residential Townhouse District).
The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 2 acres to con-
form with the development proposal. The Comprehensive Guide Plan
designates this parcel as R -3 (Mixed Residential) with a density of
6 -12 units per acre.
COMMENTS
The application submitted is a request for a townhouse development
which would be constructed along Robin Lane. Presently, Robin Lane
is a platted "T" street to Blackhawk Road. Utilities have been ex-
tended through Robin Lane right -of -way, but the street has not been
constructed to City standards. Therefore, in order for this devel-
opment to occur, Robin Lane will have to be upgraded to City street
specifications.
In reviewing the preliminary plat and surrounding land uses, Manitou
Townhouses abut the development on the south and there are some exist-
ing single family homes constructed along Blackhawk Road. The devel-
opment would be abutting the single family on the west property line.
To the north and west of the property is undeveloped, but the Robin
Lane 1st Addition which Metram Properties is presently proposing abuts
this development in the northwest corner.
The total acreage of this development consists of 5.5 acres. The
right -of -way for Robin Lane is .93 acres, so the total net acreage

of the site is 4.5 acres. The applicant is proposing 25 townhouse
units of which 17 are on the northeast side of Robin Lane and 8 will
be constructed on the southwest portion of Robin Lane. The net den-
sity of this development is 5.5 units per acre which is under the
density of the land use guide and also within the density of an R -3
zoning district.
The applicant is proposing double car garages for each one of the
dwelling units. The applicant has also provided 2A' stacking in
front of each of the units for additional parking plus visitor park-
ing for each of the townhouse units. Therefore, the parking is more
than adequate for this townhouse project.
In review of the overall layout, the parcel is very difficult to de-
velop. The topography and existing easements make the development
difficult to lay out any other way than what has been provided by the
applicant.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) A development agreement be entered into between the City and the
applicant prior to final plat.
2) A townhouse association and the articles and bylaws be reviewed
by City staff prior to final plat.
3) A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted and an adequate
landscape bond shall be required and not released until one
year after the landscaping has been completed.
4) The parking areas shall be a blacktop surface and concrete
curbing shall be required around the perimeter of the parking
area.
5) Robin Lane shall be upgraded with this development proposal.
6) All easements shall be dedicated as requested by City staff.
ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
7) A detailed erosion control /grading plan shall be approved by
staff prior to final plat approval.
8) A variance be granted for the south private drive to exceed
the 8% maximum grade if the grade cannot be flattened once
the final grade for Robin Lane has been established.

9) If installed privately, utilities and street plans and specifi-
cations shall be prepared by a registered engineer and submit-
ted for approval by staff.
10) The proposed private drives shall be 24' wide with concrete curb-

11) The parking stalls shall be as per City Code.
12) Access to Lots-1 and 2, Block 4 and 5 shall be removed from Robin
Lane and directed to the internal private drive.
13) The right -of -way for the realignment portion of Robin Lane which
previously has not been dedicated be dedicated as a part of this
final plat and shall be 60' wide.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSON, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: MAY 19, 1983
SUBJECT: BLACKHAWK ACRES REPLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments for consideration by the Advisory Planning Commis-
sion and the City Council regarding this proposed development.
DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
The existing topography for this proposed development consists pri-
marily of a ravine with the ridge of the ravine running along the
easterly and southerly portions of this proposed development. The
top of the ridge elevation for the east is approximately 842.0 while
the top of the ridge elevation along the south is 868.0. The cor-
responding slopes associated with this ravine average 25% along the
south side and 14% along the east side. Correspondingly, the drain-
age is towards the northwest corner of this proposed development
towards Pond AP -27. This pond has a controlled outlet elevation of
801.0 with positive outflow via the Blackhawk Lake storm sewer into
the Minnesota River basin. Figure 1 reveals this relationship.
Due to the existing topography, it will be necessary for this devel-
opment to provide a detailed erosion control plan along with its
grading plan for review by staff. Strict adherence to this plan will
be required so as to minimize erosion problems during and after con-
struction of this project. Although final street grades cannot be
established until the final street grades for Robin Lane are estab-
lished, it appears that the street grades may approach 1O% for the
private drive to the townhouses located within the southwest corner
of this proposed development. Therefore, a variance may be required.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, depth and capacity exist within Robin
Lane to service this proposed development. These utilities consist
of an 8" water main, an 8" sanitary sewer and a 21" lateral storm
sewer and a 36" trunk storm sewer.
The installation of the proposed utilities should be coordinated
with the construction of Robin Lane so that the proposed utilities
are constructed first. The proposed layout appears to encroach the
Northern Natural Gas easement which may require special permission
from the gas company. In addition, staff recommends that the 6"
water main servicing the easterly townhouses be looped back into
the existing water main within Robin Lane. Similarly, the water
main to the southerly townhouses should be looped with one loop
being south of the garages to provide for fire protection.
If installed privately, the plans and specifications shall be pre-
pared by a registered engineer and approved by staff prior to final
ENGINEERING REPORT
BLACKHAWK ACRES REPLAT

plat approval.
STREETS
Access to this development will be by way of Robin Lane. Robin Lane
is currently an unimproved street with improvement scheduled to be
made this summer under Project 368.
The proposed private drives should be 24' wide with concrete curbing
and bituminous surfacing. In addition, the perimeter of the parking
areas should have concrete curbing around them. Furthermore, the
access for the two separate units north of the gas easement should
be eliminated from Robin Lane and should connect to the internal
private drive. Otherwise, two accesses that close together could
pose unnecessary traffic hazards. Crossing the gas easement with
this driveway should not pose any problems since the private street
crosses it anyway.
RIGHT -OF -WAY /EASEMENTS
The portion of the right -of -way for Robin Lane has already been dedi-
cated as a part of the original Blackhawk Acres plat. However, the
right -of -way for realignment of Robin Lane shall be dedicated as a
part of this final plat and shall be 60' in width.
Easements of sufficient width should be required over all internal
utility lines in addition to a 10' utility easement adjacent to all
publicly dedicated right -of -way and a minimum of a 5' drainage ease-
ment adjacent to all exterior lot lines. This should be increased
to 10' if there is no drainage easement on the adjacent parcel.
ASSESSMENTS
All trunk area assessments have been levied over Lots 7 -12. In addi-
tion, there is a pending assessment for streets and utility services
under Project 368.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the
Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting on May 24, 1983.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: REZONING AND REPLAT OF MALLARD PARK 2ND ADDITION
APPLICANT: TOLLEFSON BUILDERS, CARL TOLLEFSON
LOCATION: MALLARD PARK 2ND ADDITION IN PART OF THE SW4
OF SECTION 28
EXISTING ZONING: R -1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 24, 1983 r i
DATE OF REPORT: MAY 19, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application submitted is a request
to rezone approximately 21.4 acres from R -1 (Residential Single Dis-
trict) to R -1 PD (Residential Single District Planned Development) to
deviate from the R -1 zoning standards.
The second application submitted is a replat, Mallard Park 4th Addi-
tion, consisting of approximately 21.4 acres and will contain 54 single
family lots.
ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently, the existing zoning is R -1 (Residen-
tial Single District) and would only allow single family lots with a
lot width of 85' and a minimum of 12,000 square feet. The Comprehen-
sive Guide Plan designates this parcel as R -2 (Mixed Residential) with
a density of 3 -6 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development
consists of 2.5 units per acre which is just slightly less than what
is proposed in the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
COMMENTS: During the past few months, there had been an application
submitted to replat Mallard Park 1st Addition and a portion of an un-
platted area directly west of Mallard Park 1st Addition for smaller
single family lots. This subdivision has received final plat approval
by the City Council on May 17, 1983. The City has received a second
application to replat Mallard Park 2nd Addition for smaller single
family lots. The original development consists of 21.4 acres and con-
tains 42 single family lots. The smallest single family lot is 12,700
square feet with the largest lot being 30,750 square feet and the aver-
age lot size is 17,980 square feet.
The application now submitted is requesting to increase the number of
lots from 42 to 54 for a net increase of 12 lots. The minimum lot
width proposed is 65' width at the 30' setback and the minimum lot
area would be 9,000 square feet. The average lot size would contain
13,675 square feet.

REZONING AND REPLAT OF MALLARD PARK 2ND ADDITION
MAY 24, 1983
PAGE TWO
In reviewing the proposed replat, there are a number of factors which
will pertain to this replat. The first factor is the streets have
been constructed in Mallard Park 2nd Addition. This would consist of
Mallard Drive, Mallard Circle, Woodgate Lane and the eyebrow off of
Johnny Cake Ridge Road. Therefore, the configuration of the access
has already been established, and the applicant is just shifting lot
lines and reducing lot sizes to fit the additional 12 lots on this
development.
The second factor pertaining to this development is that there are
existing easements and utilities in this development and some of the
lots will not be changing because of the existing utilities which
have been constructed from Woodgate Lane to the eyebrow on Johnny
Cake Ridge Road.
The applicant is proposing to phase this development into two phases,
the south being the first phase to be constructed. In this phase,
the applicant is proposing to develop 29 lots off of Mallard Drive
and Mallard Circle with this first phase. Of these 29 lots, 14 are
under the 12,000 square foot requirement.
Since the special meeting of the Advisory Planning Commission held on
May 10, 1983, criteria has been set up for small lots through the
planned development process. One of the criteria the Planning Commis-
sion suggested was that an overall grading plan be provided showing
house elevations and the type of unit which will be constructed on
each of the lots. The staff has provided this information to the de-
veloper and it is staff's understanding that this exhibit will be pre-
pared and presented at the May 24th meeting.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) A revised development agreement shall be prepared and agreed to
by the City and the developer.
2) A planned development agreement be prepared for the smaller lot
subdivision.
3) All easements shall be dedicated as requested by City staff.
4) The grading plan with house elevation and type of home construc-
ted on the particular lots shall be included in the planned de-
velopment agreement and adhered to.

7) This development shall accept its responsibility for a lateral

opment.
MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, 0/0 DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: MAY 19, 1983
SUBJECT: MALLARD PARK 4TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments for consideration by the Advisory Planning Commis-
sion and the City Council regarding this proposed development.
DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
Drainage and grading have been accomplished under the Mallard Park
2nd Addition. Therefore, no further grading or drainage will be re-
quired over this area other than for individual house construction.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, depth and capacity were constructed to
service all of the existing lots within the Mallard Park 2nd Addition
in 1978.
This proposed replat will require the installation of additional ser-
vices to the new lots. This may be accomplished by branching off of
existing services as per standard details developed by the Engineer-
ing Department so as to eliminate cutting individual services into
the existing mains within the streets thereby creating a patch with-
in existing streets.
STREETS
Access to this proposed development will be provided by two cul -de -sacs
and a dead end street which were constructed as a part of the Mallard
Park 2nd Addition. The streets are already built to City standards,
therefore, no new street construction will be required.
RIGHT -OF- WAY /EASEMENTS
All right -of -way has previously been dedicated as a part of the Mal-
lard Park 2nd Addition.
Easements over interior lot lines will have to be vacated where the
lot lines are proposed to be changed. This will require a petition
by the developer for the City Council to hold a hearing on the ease-
ment vacations. These easements should be vacated prior to final
plat approval. On the other hand, new 10' drainage and utility ease-
ments shall be dedicated over all newly created internal lot lines
as a condition of this plat.
ASSESSMENTS
All area assessments have been levied for trunk water, sanitary sewer

and storm sewer for this proposed development. However, it appears
that lateral benefit from trunk water main has never been assessed
for the 16" trunk water main within Johnny Cake Ridge Road. There-
fore, as a condition of this plat, this development shall be respon-
sible for the lateral benefit from trunk water main assessment for
the trunk water main within Johnny Cake Ridge Road at the rates in
effect at the time of final plat approval. At today's rates, this
assessment would amount to $13,363.00 (830 front feet X $16.00 per
front foot). This amount takes into consideration 75' corner lot
credits. In addition, all costs for constructing.utility services
to the newly- created lots should be the sole responsibility of this
proposed development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the
Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting on May 24, 1983.

TO: Ken Vraa
FROM: Linda O'Brien
SUBJECT: Easement Proposal
DATE: May 11, 1983
Dear Ken:
Some additional facts for the Park Committee members to
consider in our request for easement are.enclosed with
this memo. Dakota Electric has stated that the moving
of their lines will cost approximately $300 to $350.
Northwestern Bell estimates it will cost around $300
to move their lines. Additional excavation for the
driveway access in the "present easement will cost
approximately $100. The construction of retaining walls
on possibly each side of the driveway will cost from
$2700 to $3000.
In total, this could amount to nearly $4000.00.
Hopefully, the Park Committee could take another look
at the easement proposal with these additional cost
figures in mind.
Sincerely,
t

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS 4 RECREATION COM1ISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: POLICY STATEMENT PARK LAND USAGE
June 1983
Background: At the May 1983 Commission meeting, the Director of Parks and
Recreation brought to the attention of the Commission a situation in which
two residents who live next to the highline trail removed an old section
line fence, tilled the soil, deposited rocks and brush along the trail with
the intended purpose of planting a garden. No contact by these residents was
made with City officials to gain permission for this garden.
At the May meeting the Commission directed that the two residents be notified
to discontinue this practice and that the Director prepare a policy state-
ment that would address the utilization of City parks in a similar manner
and correct other park abuse situations.
Additional Comments: Staff has done a brief review of park usages to determine
the extent by which adjacent residents have utilized park land for their
own private purposes. Although the survey was brief and did not include all
park site locations, there are approximately 22 known instances in which
gardens, dog houses, wood piles, compost /litter are being maintained /kept
on City park property.
The problem with garden plots, while at first glance does not appear to be
one which the commission should he overly concerned, does raise some philo-
sophical and park usage implications. Some problems have already been noted
with the unauthorized garden plots. As previously mentioned with the creation
of these garden plots, residents have left debris, rock, brush, and other
items on City park property which will eventually become the responsibility
of the department to clean up. Another example is that on Friday, May 20th,
the City's assessment clerk indicated that a resident who lives along Shale
Lane asked if he could extend the fence that he was building "three or four
feet into park property." When informed that such permission would not be
granted, he stated that if his neighbors can have gardens on the park property
then why not an extension of the fence!
Finally, another caller into the department recently complained about the
compost /brush pile that a neighbor was putting on City park property
wanting the City to clean it up.
Authority: The City Code Section 10.32 Subdivision 3 does prohibit
dumping on City property. However, there is no specific authority pro-
hibiting unauthorized garden plots. The Commission, Council and the Director
of Parks and Recreation is given the right to issue an administrative rules
and regulations governing parks as it relates to the usage of them.
POLICY
Unauthorized Park Land Usage: The usage of City park property, by adjacent
or other residential property owners for garden plots, storage sheds, wood
piles, dog kennels are unauthorized acitivities for which public parks are
not to be used. These usages are outside the intent and purpose for which
City parks exist, and constitutes an appropriation of park land for the
private benefit of the individual. Usage of parks for individual purposes
tie

is counter to the public policy: Therefore, the usage of parks in this
manner is opposed by the Commission.
Enacted on June 2, 1983
firer, the Director of Parks and Recreation shall take steps to inform
and prohibit further usage of City parks in this manner with the appropriate
individuals.
