APPLICANT: BRUTGER COMPANIES INC WALLACE JOHNSON
LOCATION: LOT 1, BLOCK 3, FOX RIDGE ADDITION
EXISTING ZONING: R -4 (RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 22, 19$3
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 17, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application submitted is a request
to rezone approximately 10.5 acres from R -4 (Residential Multiple
District) to R -3 (Residential Townhouse District) located on Lot 1,
Block 3, Fox Ridge Addition. The second application submitted is a
request for preliminary plat approval, Coachman Highlands, which will
consist of approximately 10.5 acres and contain 70 townhouse lots and
one lot owned in common by an association located on Lot 1, Block 3,
Fox Ridge Addition.
ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently, the parcel is zoned R -4 (Residential
Multiple) and would only allow the construction of apartments or con-
dominium units. The Eagan Land Use Guide also designates this parti-
cular parcel as R -4 (Residential Multiple) with a density of 12 units+
per acre. The proposed development will consist of approximately 7
dwelling units per acre which is a lesser density than proposed by
the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
COMMENTS: The applicant is proposing to down -zone the 10.5 acre par-
cel from R -4 (Residential Multiple) to R -3 (Residential Townhouse)
which would reduce the proposed density in Neighborhood 9.
The access to the development will be from Coachman Road. The site
plan is showing a looped private drive with two access points onto
Coachman Road. The looped street is proposed to be a private drive
constructed to City street standards. The proposed street would be
28' in width and have concrete curb and gutter running throughout.
The proposed development consists of approximately 10.5 acres. Coach-
man Road and Letendre Street right -of -way have been dedicated when
the area was originally platted as Lot 1, Block 3, Fox Ridge Addition.
The only other deduction for net acreage would be the private drive.
Staff has calculated the private drive to contain approximately .71
acres or the net developable acres on the site as being 9.79 acres.
The density on this development proposal is 7.15 dwelling units per
net acre in which the proposal is just under the allowable density
for an R -3 (Residential Townhouse District) of 7.2 dwelling units per

acre. The building coverage for the development proposal is 15% which
is under the.20% requirement in Section 11 of the Eagan City Code.
The proposed development meets most of the ordinance requirements.
Staff has checked setbacks and it appears that the applicant does not
meet the 30' setback between dwelling units, and therefore, the plan
should be revised to meet these setback requirements. Also, the set-
back along Coachman Road is 40' and the applicant has proposed 30'.
This building should also be shifted to allow for a 40' setback along
Coachman Road.
The applicant is proposing to construct 40 two bedroom townhouse units
and 30 three- bedroom units and is proposing to provide 103 garage
spaces and a 138 open parking spaces for a total of 241 parking spaces.
This exceeds the requirement of 2.5 parking spaces per unit. Staff
does have one concern that the driveways are considered as parking
spaces and that the minimum setback for a garage from the private
street should be 20' in order that adequate parking space can be pro-
vided.
This particular development has been submitted to the Minnesota Hous-
ing Finance Agency's medium density homeownership program. It is the
City's understanding that this is the only project in the City that
is being considered for Minnesota Finance Agency's funding program.
In the report, the price range indicated for the townhouse units range
from $61,900 on the 2- bedroom units to $68,900 on the 3- bedroom units.
It is staff's understanding that if this program is approved by the
Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, that low market interest mortgages
would be provided for this development proposal.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) A 40' setback shall be required along Coachman Road.
2) A 30' setback should be required between dwelling units.
3) The garages shall have a minimum setback of 20' in order that
the driveways be counted as off street parking spaces.
4) Concrete curbing shall be required around the perimeter of the
off street parking spaces.
5) A homeowner's association be established to control the over-
all development and that the bylaws and articles be reviewed
by City staff prior to final plat approval.
6) A designated location shall be established with the preliminary
plat for a sale's office for this particular development.
7) A detailed landscape plan shall be reviewed and approved by City
staff and an adequate landscape bond shall be required as part

of the development contract, and this bond shall not be released
until one year after the landscaping has been completed.
8) The development plan shall be subject to the Park Commission's
recommendations and comments regarding the tot lot area and
trail /sidewalk on the west side of Coachman Road and the fee
for park dedication.
9) A development agreement be entered into and signed prior to
final plat application.
10) All easements be dedicated as requested by City staff.

ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
11) If the internal utilities are installed privately, the plans and
specifications for such utility installations shall be prepared
by a registered engineer and submitted to the Engineering Divi-
sion for approval.
12) To accommodate increased traffic resulting from this develop-
ment, Coachman Road shall be upgraded to a 44' wide bituminous
surface and concrete curb and gutter with an 8' bituminous trail
way constructed along the west side.
13) Internal through streets shall be 28' wide with concrete curb
and gutter and the remaining streets shall be 24' wide with con-
crete curbing.
14) A blanket utility easement shall be required over the common
area.
15) This development shall accept its responsibility for the assess-
ment resulting from lateral benefit from trunk sanitary sewer
at the rates in effect at the time of final plat approval.
16) The cost of providing sewer, water, storm sewer and streets with-
in this development shall be the sole responsibility of this
development.
17) The south access to Coachman Road shall be set back a minimum of
150' from the intersection of Coachman Road and Letendre Street.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1983
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR COACHMAN HIGHLANDS
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed preliminary plat.
I. DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
Presently, this proposed preliminary plat is entitled Lot 1, Block
3 of the Fox Ridge Addition northwest of the intersection of Le-
tendre Street and Coachman Road. The existing topography consists
largely of rolling terrain with a high elevation of 890 to the ex-
isting northeasterly portion of this area to a low point located
midway along the westerly boundary of this area reflecting the ex-
istence of a rather deep ravine along this westerly boundary.
Consequently, drainage over this parcel is in a southwesterly and
westerly direction towards this existing ravine, then following
the ravine westerly passing under Highway 13 and eventually to
Pond CP -9 (See Figure 1). Except for the steep slopes adjacent
to the ravine (3:1), the remaining slopes over most of this area
vary from 3-11%.
The proposed grading of this parcel will not greatly alter the
existing drainage. Nonetheless, a detailed grading and erosion
control plan would be required to be submitted to the Engineering
Division for review and to insure conformance with City standards.
II. UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, depth and capacity exist along the
westerly, southerly and easterly boundaries of this preliminary
plat. For instance, an 18" trunk water main parallels the easter-
ly boundary with al' 8" water main along its southerly border.
Similarly, a 9" sanitary sewer is in place along Coachman Road
connecting to the trunk sanitary sewer located south and west of
this proposed development. Finally, a 36" trunk storm sewer line
is in place along Letendre Street and the westerly boundary of
this proposed preliminary plat. In short, no new trunk utilities
will need to be constructed to service this development.
Internal utilities for this future development will be the respon-
sibility of this developer, and if accomplished privately, the
plans and specifications for such utility installations shall be
prepared by a registered engineer and submitted to the Engineering
Department for review for conformance to City standards.
III. STREETS
Existing streets adjacent to this proposed development include
Letendre Street along the south and Coachman Road along the east.
ENGINEERING REPORT
PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR COACHMAN HIGHLANDS
FEBRUARY 22, 1983
PAGE TWO
Letendre Street is currently constructed to its ultimate design,
that being 32' wide with concrete curb and gutter and bituminous
surfacing. However, Coachman Road is not yet constructed to its
ultimate design. Presently, it is a rural section with a 24' bi-
tuminous pavement surface.
The proposed access for this development will be off of Coachman
Road, although Coachman Road should be upgraded to its ultimate
design of a 44' wide bituminous surface street with curb and-gut-
ter prior to or concurrent with the construction of the street
connections for this proposed development. Furthermore, an 8'
bituminous trailway will be required to be constructed along the
west side of Coachman Road along with its upgrading. Meanwhile,
the internal streets are to be private streets and shall be 28'
wide with concrete curb and gutter for the through streets while
the other streets may be 24' wide with concrete curb only.
IV. EASEMENTS /RIGHT -OF -WAY
A blanket utility easement shall be required over the common area.
No additional right -of -way for Coachman Road or Letendre Street
will be required since it has been previously dedicated.
V. ASSESSMENTS
Prior to final plat approval, this development shall accept its
assessments resulting from lateral benefit from trunk sanitary
sewer at the rates in effect at the time of final plat approval.
The amount of lateral benefit assessment from trunk sanitary sewer
will be determined by taking the distance from the proposed sani-
tary sewer connection to the line located within Coachman Road to
the south property line times the rate in effect at the time of
final plat approval. Currently, this would amount to 157' X $17.25
per foot $2,708.25. Furthermore, the costs of providing sewer,
water, storm sewer and streets within this development shall be
the sole responsibility of this development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the
Planning Commission at their meeting on February 22, 1983.

The circulation for the 37 acres is a curvilineal design and loop-
ed street system. The development proposal extends Covington Lane
from Ridgecliffe Addition and ties Covington Lane into Galaxie Drive.
Narvik Drive has also been extended from Ridgecliffe to Galaxie
Drive. The applicant is also proposing curvilineal design and loop-
ed streets which would ultimately have three access points onto Ga-
laxie Drive. Due to the topography and design, there would be four
lots which would have direct access onto Galaxie Drive. In review-
ing this issue, it would be very difficult to eliminate this direct
access for the four lots.
As stated above, the applicant is proposing lots which range from
7,800 square feet to 18,000 square feet with an average lot size
being 10,900 square feet. That is the reason for the planned devel-
opment for this development proposal, so a deviation for the 114
lots would have to be spelled out as a condition of the preliminary
plat.
The applicant is proposing to phase the project and the first phase
would take access from Galaxie Drive. Approximately half of the
lots would be opened with the first phase of this development. The
applicant should also designate which particular lot a model home
or sales office will be located on the site.
The last issue in regard to Park Ridge is that there are three small
triangles that would either have to be platted as outlots with Park
Ridge Addition or an arrangement or an agreement made between Orrin
Thompson of Ridgecliffe to either swap land or sell or buy land to
take these triangles and make them buildable lots. This was the
same issue the City had when it reviewed Galaxie Park Addition. Hope-
fully, this can be resolved so that a continuity of the two plats
work together.
If the preliminary plat, Park Ridge Addition, is approved, it should
be subject to the following conditions:
1) The Advisory. Planning Commission allows the deviation from the
R -1 lot size requirement of 85' frontage and 12,000 square feet
to range from 60' lot widths at the 30' setback and allow a min-
imum square footage of 7,800 square feet.
2) An agreement be worked out between Ruscon Homes and Orrin Thomp-
son in regard to the three triangular portions or outlots in
their preliminary plat.
3) The plat should be subject to the Park Commission's recommenda-
tions for park contribution for this development.
4) A development agreement and planned development agreement be
signed prior to the application of a final plat.

ADDITION
APPLICANT: RUSCON HOMES, MARSHALL OAKES
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 17, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application submitted is a request
to rezone approximately 37.5 acres from A (Agricultural) to R -1 PD
(Residential Single District under a Planned Development) to allow
115 single family lots.
The second application is a request for preliminary plat, Park Ridge,
which consists of approximately 37.5 acres and would contain 114
single family lots which would range in size from 7,800 square feet
to 18,000 square feet with an overall average of 10,900 square feet.
ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently, the parcel is zoned A (Agricultural)
and would only allow one home per 10 acres for residential use. The
Agricultural zoning is an open zoning until an application is made to
develop the property. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this
parcel as R -2 (Mixed Residential) with a density of 3 -6 dwelling units
per acre. The applicant is proposing to construct 114 single family
lots which range in size from 7,800 square feet to18,000 square feet
for an overall density of 3.04 units per acre. The proposed plan is
in conformance with the proposed Comprehensive Guide Plan.
COMMENTS: As you may recall, this 37.5 acres had a plan approved ap-
proximately two years ago. The proposed development was Galaxy Park
which consisted of 8 -unit coach homes and duplexes for this particu-
lar site. At the November 30, 1982 Planned Development Review, the
person who had the option for Galaxy Park indicated he no longer
wanted to pursue the Galaxy Park Addition and withdrew the planned
development proposal. Therefore, the zoning on the property revert-
ed back to an agricultural use. Since this time, Ruscon Homes is
now proposing to subdivide property for single family use. The rea-
son the Planned Development District has been applied to this devel-
opment proposal is that there is a deviation in the standard lot
size of 12,000 square feet and a minimum of 85' frontage. As sta-
ted in the application, the applicant is proposing to construct single
family homes with lot sizes varying from 7,800 square feet to 18,000
square feet with an average lot being 10,900 square feet. The lot
widths could vary from a minimum of 60' width at the 30' setback to
90' front lot widths for corner lots. This variety of lot widths
would then accomodate many different types of single family homes.

FEBRUARY 17, 1983
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR PARK RIDGE ADDITION (RUSCON HOMES)
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed preliminary plat.
I. GRADING /TOPOGRAPHY
This proposed development is located in the E1/2 of the NW; of Sec-
tion 32 lying southerly and easterly of Galaxie Avenue and immedi-
ately west of Orrin Thompson. The existing topography of this pro-
posed development consists mainly of rolling grassland with group-
ings of trees scattered throughout the parcel. The general direc-
tion of drainage over this area is towards the west and towards two
ponding areas along the westerly boundary of this proposed develop-
ment. One such pond is included in the City's Comprehensive Storm
Sewer Plan and is designated Pond AP -15. Figure 1 exhibits this
more clearly. Another smaller ponding area collects drainage from
this parcel and is located approximately 500' south of Pond AP -15.
The elevations within this proposed development range from a high
of 958 which exists along the easterly border of this proposed de-
velopment to a low elevation of 896 found at the shoreline of Pond
Ap -15. Although the elevation difference is 60', when taken over
the distance between these two points corresponds to an average
slope of approximately 7 Meanwhile, the maximum slope contained
within this area exceeds 30% (3:1). However, this occurs mostly
along the shorelines of the two ponding areas, thereby not posing
any problems for development.
As of this report, the grading plans for this preliminary plat have
not been reviewed by the Engineering Department. However, due to
the nature of this area's topography as discussed above, close con-
formance to detailed grading and erosion control plans, to be ap-
proved by the City, would be required during the grading of this
proposed development. Meanwhile, the proposed storm water runoff
will remain directed to the two existing ponds along the westerly
border of this proposed development. This will necessitate the
developer constructing a storm sewer from the southerly pond to
Pond AP -15 which has a positive outlet to Pitt Lake as constructed
under Project 316 in 1982. In short, this development will require
no further construction of trunk storm sewer facilities to accommo-
date it.

9) If the utilities are installed privately, the plans and speci-
fications shall be prepared by a registered engineer and sub-
mitted to the City for approval.
10) As a condition of this plat, the 16" trunk water main within
Covington Lane shall be extended west to the trunk water main
located within Galaxie Drive.
11) A 5' sidewalk /trailway shall be installed along the southerly
side of Covington Lane.
12) Ponding and utility easements shall be required around both
ponds to include sufficient area for the high water elevation
condition.
13) A 20' utility easement will be required for the storm sewer
connection between the two ponds. A 10' utility easement shall
be included along all publicly dedicated right -of -way with a
5' utility easement along all exterior lot lines and a 10' util-
ity and drainage easement centered over all interior lot lines.
14) All costs related to constructing all internal streets and util-
ities shall be the sole responsibility of this development.

II. UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist within the
vicinity of this proposed development. For instance, a 20" trunk
water main is in place within Galaxie Drive bordering the west
and north boundaries of this proposed development. In addition,
a 16 "__trunk water main located within Covington Lane dead -ends at
the east boundary and a 6" water main is in place within Narvik
Drive to service adjacent lots within the northeast corner of this
proposed development. Similarly, an 8" sanitary sewer is in place
within Galaxie Drive bordering the northerly boundaries of this
proposed development along with an 8" sanitary sewer within Narvik
Drive serving the adjacent lots located in the northeast corner of
this preliminary plat. Finally, a 15" storm sewer outlet from
Pond AP -15 is in place to transmit overflow from this Pond and
subsequent drainage from this proposed development northwest of
Pitt Lake. Figure 2 more clearly illustrates the utility locations.
Since all utilities for this development have been made available
through previous projects, it will the developer's responsibility
to construct the necessary lateral water main, sanitary sewer and
storm sewer to service this proposed development. If installed
privately, these plans shall be prepared by a registered engineer
in accordance with City standards. It should be noted here, that
it will be necessary for the City to extend the trunk 16" water
main from Covington Lane west to connect to the trunk water main
located within Galaxie Drive. The cost for this construction will
be an obligation of the City's trunk water main fund since trunk
area assessments have previously been levied.
III. STREETS
Streets bordering this proposed development consist of Galaxie
Avenue along the westerly and northerly borders with Narvik Drive
and Covington Lane dead ending along the east border of this pro-
posed preliminary plat. Presently, Galaxie Drive is a 44' wide
collector street and Covington Lane and Narvik Drive are 32' wide
residential streets. The accesses of both Narvik Drive and Cov-
ington Lane onto Galaxie Drive are in place as a result of the
Galaxie Drive construction.
In order to provide adequate traffic movement across this devel-
opment, both Narvik Drive and Covington Lane are proposed to be
extended to connect to Galaxie Drive. As mentioned before, these
entrances are already constructed, however, another entrance will
have to be installed with this development for the middle unnamed

street connection to Galaxie Drive. This should pose no problem as
long as the developer maintains adequate site distances around the
curve. The interior street layout is looped and will provide good
traffic movement. All interior streets shall be 32' face -to -face
in width with concrete curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing in
accordance with City standards. Although Covington Lane is only
32' face -to -face in width, it is designated as a minor collector
thereby necessitating a 5' sidewalk /trailway along its southerly
right -of -way from the east boundary of this preliminary plat to in-
tersect with the existing trailway on the east side of Galaxie
Drive.
IV. EASEMENTS /RIGHT -OF -WAY
Sufficient right -of -way for streets and utilities shall be dedica-
ted with the plat. Covington Lane and Narvik Drive shall be 60'
in width while the remaining interior streets will be allowed to
be 50' in width. In addition, ponding easements shall be required
around Pond AP -15 and the small pond south of it along with a 20'
utility easement for storm sewer connecting the two ponds. Lastly,
a 10' utility easement shall be included along all publicly dedi-
cated right -of -way with a 5' utility easement along all exterior
lot lines and a 10' utility and'tlrainage easement centered over
all interior lot lines.
V. ASSESSMENTS
All trunk assessments have been or will be levied against this
proposed development. Trunk area water main and sanitary sewer
have been assessed under Project 254. Storm sewer trunk area
assessments and lateral benefit from trunk storm sewer along with
lateral benefit from trunk water main and sanitary sewer will be
assessed upon the completion of Project 316. These pending assess-
ments are listed within the table below.

PARK RIDGE EA
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: WILMUS FAMILY PROPERTIES; MALLARD PARK 1st ADDITION
Background: The City has received a preliminary application for a re -plat
of Mallard Park 1st Addition and the platting of an additional parcel of
land immediately to the west, and bounded by Woodgate Lane. (See attached
City Planner report). The proposed re -plat would create a total of 21 lots
from the existing eleven single lots; an additional five lots in that
parcel which has not previously been platted. The new plat would be
titled "Tiberon
Park Land History: At the time of the initial Mallard Park addition 1, 2, 3,
in 1977, an agreement was reached between the City and the owner /developer
that the City would receive a portion of the parks dedication lands beneath
the NSP transmission line for the City's all purpose trail. It was recognized
by the City and the owner /developer that the trails dedication would not ful-
fill the entire parks land dedication requirement for these additions. Any
shortage in the land dedication requirement would be received at the time
of future platting of the Wilmus Properties to the north. The shortage, plus
the new dedication would be included into a new neighborhood park. In as
much as the Wilmus Family Properties own approximately 80 +remaining acres,
the City could expect to receive eight acres in dedication plus park land
not received from the platting of the Mallard Park addition into a reasonably
sized neighborhood park. A "blob" concept plan was developed during this
period of discussion showing a potential location of this future park.
Staff's computation, made after the completion of the dedication for Mallard
Park 1st through 3rd addition, indicated a deficiency of approximately 2.1
acres in park land. This computation has not been confirmed or denied by
the owner.
Recent History: In 1982, a preliminary plat was filed and received by the
Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission for developing the remainder of the
Wilmus Properties. At that time the Commission reviewed the area in question
for a specific park site location. However, the plat was withdrawn by the
developer and no further action was taken. Consequently, the developer is
still in arrears of approximately 2.1 acres of park land to the City.
Issue: As it relates to the replatting of Mallard Park 1st addition to
smaller single family lots, there can be no additional parks dedication re-
quired. However, the area which is now being platted for the five additional
lots was not considered in any previous calculations for park land dedication
in the Mallard Park additions, and therefore subject to the recommendation
by the Commission for parks dedication. This is approximately 2 acres in
size.
Also at issue is the resolution of the approximately 2.1 acres still owed
to the City by the Wilmus Family Properties.
Discussion: Although the City is not able to require additional park land
dedication of the replatting of Mallard Park 1st addition an! issue still
remains as to the deficiency of the 2.1 acres of park land from the original
platting of Mallard Park 1st through 3rd additions. Other than the agreement
previously entered into, the City has no guarantee or written agreement from
the Wilmus Family Properties regarding the dedication of this land. Further,
should this parcel be sold in whole or in part to other developers, the
City may encounter objections in trying to obtain the park land acreage
from any new owners for the land which was not received from Mallard Park
1st through 3rd additions. In any event, the City should try to "tie down"
the exact amount of land owed and means to insure its eventual dedication.
The new parcel being created into five lots owned by Wilmus Family Properties
is subject to parks dedication. In as much as it would serve no useful
purpose to take land dedication on this 2 acre parcel, the City should seek
to include it in the computation for park dedication in the future neigh-
borhood park. The commission may want to consider this while determining
how it wishes to handle the current park land deficiency. An option that
might be considered would be to require the payment of the equivalent cash
fee, to be held in an escrow account, which would be held until such time
as the City receives the proposed future park. Or, the rewriting of the
development agreement might include new language insuring the land dedication.
Commission Action: The Commission should review the data and make its
recommendation concerning the various issues to the City Council regarding
the deficiency of park land currently owed to the City on the platting of
Mallard Park 1st through 3rd additions; And its recommendation concerning
the parcel being divided into five lots.

DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 22, 1983
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 17, 1983
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application submitted is a request
to rezone approximately 6.86 acres from R -1 (Residential Single Dis-
trict) and R -4 (Residential Multiple District) to R -1 PD (Residential
Single District under a Planned Development).
The second application submitted is a request to replat Mallard Park
1st Addition and the small triangular portion westerly of Mallard
Park 1st Addition into 26 single family lots which deviate from the
R -1 (Residential Single District) zoning standards.
ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently, the 6.8 acres is zoned R -1 (Residen-
tial Single District) and R -4 (Residential Multiple District). The
Comprehensive Guide Plan designates an R -2 (Mixed Residential) 3 -6
dwelling units per acre. The proposed development would be consis-
tent with the 3 -6 dwelling units per acre.
BACKGROUND: The Mallard Park 1st Addition has some history to the
development which was originally platted in the fall of 1977. Will
mus Properties Inc. had then requested a preliminary plat for Mallard
Park 1st, 2nd and 3rd Addition. At that time, the zoning of the pro-
perty was R -4 (Residential Multiple) and the zoning ordinance allow-
ed lesser density than what the zoning was for that particular par-
cel. With that in mind, the owner did not want to rezone the proper-
ty from R -4 because single family could be constructed in an R -4 Dis-
trict. In June of 1978, a petition was filed to rezone the property
from R -4 to R -2 and to replat to 12 duplex lots. The City Council
on September 19, 1978 ultimately zoned Mallard Park 1st, 2nd and 3rd
Addition to R -1 (Residential Single District) to conform with the
plat which was approved. Since this date, there has been no con
struction of homes in the Mallard Park Additions.
Presently, Mallard Park consists of 12 single family lots of which
the applicant is proposing to resubdivide the 11 single family lots
into 21 single family lots and provide five additional lots wester-
ly of Mallard Park 1st Addition for a total of 26 single family lots.
The reason the applicant is only proposing to resubdivide 11 of the
12 lots in Mallard Park 1st Addition is that Lot 2, Block 1, Mallard
CITY OF EAGAN
REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT TIBERON FIRST ADDITION

PAGE TWO
Park 1st Addition is not owned by Mr. Willmus nor is it proposed to be
purchased by Mark Parranto. Therefore, Lot 2 has to remain as is
and cannot be resubdivided.
As mentioned in the application, the rezoning is to an R -1 PD which
means there is a deviation in the lot size from the strict R -1 (Re-
sidential Single District) standards. The deviation occurs where
the applicant is proposing a 60' lot width at the 30' setback re-
quirement, and the minimum square footage of the lots would be. 8,500
square feet. This deviation will have to be spelled out as a con-
dition of the replat.
The Mallard Park Additions are only one phase of the overall proper-
ty of which Mr. Willmus owns. In the process of platting the Mal-
lard Park 1st, 2nd and 3rd Addition, the City looked at park dedi-
cation for all of the residential development. This park dedica-
tion included the NSP easement for the all- purpose City trail and
also a neighborhood park area which is not within this proposed Ad-
dition. In reviewing the overall park dedication, the owner of the
property was 2.1 acres short of park dedication for Mallard Park 1st,
2nd and 3rd Addition. This issue should be resolved prior to the
final replat of the 1st Addition. An agreement should be entered
into between Mr. Willmus and the City of Eagan to clear up this 2.1
acre discrepancy prior to the final plat.
As stated earlier in this report, the original plat was approved a
few years back and all improvements and roads have been constructed
in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Addition. This was done under City contract
and assessed to the property. At the present time, there are delin-
quent assessments on the Mallard Park Additions, and this issue
should also be resolved prior to the final plat.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) A new development agreement and planned development agreement
be entered into and signed prior to the final plat application.
2) No side yard variances or lot coverage variances should be al-
lowed on these smaller lots except for vegetation or topograph-
ic hardships.
3) A deviation from the R -1 zoning standards shall be allowed on
the 26 lots.
4) An agreement be entered into between the City and Mr. Willmus
as to how the parkland issue will be resolved.
5) The replat should be subject to the Park Commission's recommen-
dations and comments.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/0 DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1983
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR MALLARD PARK 1ST ADDITION REPLAT
TIBERON FIRST ADDITION
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed preliminary plat.
I. DRAINAGE /TOPOGRAPHY
This proposed development is located in the NE4 of the SE4 of the
SE; of Section 29, previously referred to as Mallard Park 1st Ad-
dition. Also included with the replat of Mallard Park 1st Addition
is a pie- shaped parcel located immediately west of Mallard Park 1st
Addition. The existing topography of this proposed development re-
veals that site grading has been previously accomplished with the
former plat. However, the additional parcel included with this re-
plat will need some grading as has been used to store stockpile
fill material. The drainage consists of overland flow. The run-
off either finds its way to the paved streets and subsequently in-
to the storm sewer system or it flows northerly across the back-
yards of the lots bordering the City park.
Since the majority of this area has been graded with the platting
of Mallard Park 1st Addition, very little grading will be neces-
sary for the remainder of this proposed replat. Still, a detail-
ed grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted for all
grading on the proposed Lots 1 -5 to be reviewed by the Engineering
Division in accordance with City standards. Figure 1 displays the
location of this replat with respect to the drainage area in which
it's located.
II. UTILITIES
Since this area was developed previously, sanitary sewer and water
main have been installed within Woodgate Lane, Woodgate Point and
Mallard Court. These utilities are of sufficient size, capacity
and depth to service this proposed development.
Although the sanitary sewer and water main are in place, the re-
platting of this parcel will require additional services be con-
structed. For existing services installed for Mallard Park 1st
Addition, the City will allow two houses to be connected to one
existing service so that any street repair will be minimized or
eliminated. However, for the newly- created five lots in the par-
cel not previously included in Mallard Park 1st Addition, indi-
vidual services will be required although one trench may be util-
ized for services to two lots so as to minimize the number of
connections within Woodgate Lane which will require patching.
ENGINEERING REPORT
TIBERON FIRST ADDITION
FEBRUARY 22, 1983
PAGE TWO
III. STREETS
Streets bordering this proposed development consist of Woodgate
Lane adjacent to the southerly border and Johnny Cake Ridge Road
adjacent to the easterly border of this proposed development. In
addition, Woodgate Point and Mallard Court are cul -de -sacs to ser-
vice individual lots. All of the above streets have been construc-
ted previously to their ultimate design section, that being, 32'
wide with concrete curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing for
Woodgate Lane, Woodgate Point and Mallard Court, and 44' wide with
bituminous surfacing and concrete curb and gutter for Johnny Cake
Ridge Road.
Accordingly, no new street construction will be required with this
proposed development since all the lots would take access to the
existing streets.
IV. EASEMENTS /RIGHT -OF -WAY
With the exception of the pie shaped parcel west of Mallard Park
1st Addition, sufficient right -of -way has been previously dedica-
ted as a part of Mallard Park 1st Addition. Therefore, a 60' full
right -of -way shall be dedicated as a part of this replat for the
parcel not included with the original Mallard Park 1st Addition.
Also, a 10' utility easement shall be included along all publicly
dedicated right -of -way with a 5' utility easement along all exter-
ior lot lines and a 10' utility and drainage easement centered
over all interior lot lines. Due to the doubling up on existing
water and sewer services, it will be necessary to obtain cross
easements for the affected lots.
V. ASSESSMENTS
All assessments have been levied for the Mallard Park 1st Addition
under past projects. However, the pie- shaped parcel west of Mal-
lard Park 1st Addition (a portion of Parcel No. 015 -75) has not
been levied for storm sewer trunk area assessments or lateral bene-
fit from trunk water main and sanitary sewer. Therefore, this de-
velopment shall be responsible for accepting these assessments as
a condition of final plat approval. The following calculations re-
veal the amount of assessments based on 1983 rates. However, it
should be noted that the final assessment amount will be determin-
ed by using the rates in effect at the time of final plat approval.

In addition to the above assessments, delinquent assessments in
the amount of $41,655.20 exist and payment shall be included as
a condition of final plat approval. Otherwise, foreclosure on
Mallard Park 1st Addition will begin in May of 1983.
Finally, all costs for the construction of utility services shall
be the sole responsibility of this development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the
Planning Commission at their meeting on February 22, 1983.

MEMO TO: PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR, VRAA
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: DOROTHY PETERSON, RECREATION PROGRAMMER
RE: WINTER PROGRAMS
SKATING RINKS:
AI 1'ENDANCE
February 24, 1983
Warming House Staff: The 1983 staff on a whole were effective in dealing
with children and adults. It was readily observed that the attendants
at each site were interacting with the children. Over the course of
the skating season it is believed that this directly correlated with
fewer incidences of vandalism, no phone calls to the office reporting,
for example "the older kids won't let the little kids skate" and two
sites that had a resident "bully" at the beginning of the season were
successful in limiting those individuals from "terrorizing" the rink.
As for shoveling snow, however, there was a wide range of acceptance of
responsibility by the attendants. Some were completely allergic to it,
others did more than the department expected and there were varying
shades in between! On occasion parks maintenance and the hockey associations
were equally critical; maintenance justifiably, the hockey associations
expectations amount to zamboni ice.
Recreation staff had one major disappointment in that the warming house
staff had enthusiastically supported the concept of holding skating
races on Saturdays in January. Sign ups were held at the warming houses;
no races were held. It is possible to assume that this occured because
unlike playground staff, warming house attendants lack the experience,
know how and drive to get things going.
Well Site: Attendance was low the first week open, the weather was mild
and the ice poor. From New Years Eve day through January 24 there were
20 to 50 (rarely more) skaters present at the hours checked. From that
point until the last day it was possible to be open due to the melting
conditions (February 12) attendance varied from a low of 5 to the 20's
range during the hours checked. (The hockey association did not always
use its reserved time)
Rahn: The number of hockey players at Rahn varied from 15 -80, frequently
in the 50's due to the presence of hockey association teams daily. Most
often in addition there were 5 -15 pleasure skaters present also. The
building can handle that volume of skaters.
Carnelian: Attendance here was significantly higher than a year ago. The
figures are comparable to the Well Site. Perhaps this site should be
designated Class A for priority in maintenance.
Woodhaven: Ten to 30 skaters is a good day at Woodhaven. The attendants
did not record regularly enough to get a true read. Observation by staff
would put the usual "crowd" at 10 -12 skaters; barely enough to maintain
a Class B rating. Although attendants were not recording the number of
sliders, significant numbers of children were observed using the hill.
Pilot Knob: Attendance here was better this year. (Perhaps due to the
mild winter!) January was a good month with 15 -40 skaters frequently
present. If it was at all cold, however, the numbers drop to 0 -10.
Highview: The City broomball league makes Monday evenings busy at Highview.
Attendance figures are from 0 -10 people present on other days, rarely more.
The zeros are more frequent from the latter part of January on. This is
a lonesome place for an attendant.
Lexington: This site does slightly better than Highview. After a slow
start of 3 -10 skaters present, attendance picked up in mid- January to
15 -30 people frequently present. By the end of January, however it was
down to the 5 -15 range with frequent zeros.
Other Winter Programs:
Tiny Tots: Four full sections; took the children on a field trip to the
Bell Museum. The school bus ride is what is really important.
Cross Country Ski' Lessons: Four class sections filled. The arrangement
with Diamond T worked well.
Couples Volleyball has sufficient registrations to pay for the use of the
school through May 18 as planned.
Trips F, Tours: The rodeo trip was cancelled. Groups went to the Old Log
Theatre and to Orchestra Hall.
The Tree Seminar was cancelled.
New offerings to look for in the spring include bowling lessons, riding
lessons, a helium balloon special event during spring vacation from
school, more softball teams than there is field space available. Garden
plots, picnic kits, trips and tours, Tiny Tots and dog obedience continue
and of course The Egg Hunt.
March 1983
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: WILMUS FAMILY PROPERTIES; MALLARD PARK 1st ADDITION
Background: The City has received a preliminary application for a re -plat
of Mallard Park 1st Addition and the platting of an additional parcel of
land immediately to the west, and bounded by Woodgate Lane. (See attached
City Planner report). The proposed re -plat would create a total of 21 lots
from the existing eleven single lots; an additional five lots in that
parcel which has not previously been platted. The new plat would be
titled "Tiberon
Park Land History: At the time of the initial Mallard Park addition 1, 2, 3,
in 1977, an agreement was reached between the City and the owner /developer
that the City would receive a portion of the parks dedication lands beneath
the NSP transmission line for the City's all purpose trail. It was recognized
by the City and the owner /developer that the trails dedication would not ful-
fill the entire parks land dedication requirement for these additions. Any
shortage in the land dedication requirement would be received at the time
of future platting of the Wilmus Properties to the north. The shortage, plus
the new dedication would be included into a new neighborhood park. In as
much as the Wilmus Family Properties own approximately 80 +remaining acres,
the City could expect to receive eight acres in dedication plus park land
not received from the platting of the Mallard Park addition into a reasonably
sized neighborhood park. A "blob" concept plan was developed during this
period of discussion showing a potential location of this future park.
Staff's computation, made after the completion of the dedication for Mallard
Park 1st through 3rd addition, indicated a deficiency of approximately 2.1
acres in park land. This computation has not been confirmed or denied by
the owner.
Recent History: In 1982, a preliminary plat was filed and received by the
Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission for developing the remainder of the
Wilmus Properties. At that time the Commission reviewed the area in question
for a specific park site location. However, the plat was withdrawn by the
developer and no further action was taken. Consequently, the developer is
still in arrears of approximately 2.1 acres of park land to the City.
Issue: As it relates to the replatting of Mallard Park 1st addition to
smaller single family lots, there can be no additional parks dedication re-
quired. However, the area which is now being platted for the five additional
lots was not considered in any previous calculations for park land dedication
in the Mallard Park additions, and therefore subject to the recommendation
by the Commission for parks dedication. This is approximately 2 acres in
size.
Also at issue is the resolution of the approximately 2.1 acres still owed
to the City by the Wilmus Family Properties.
Discussion: Although the City is not able tol require
ret additional
alu
dedication of the replatting of Mallard Park e
remains as to the deficiency of the 2.1 acres of park land from the original
platting of Mallard Park 1st through 3rd additions. Other than the agreement
previously entered into, the City has no guarantee or written agreement from
the Wilmus Family Properties regarding the dedication of this land. Further,
should this parcel be sold in whole or in part to other developers, the
City may encounter objections in trying to obtain the park land acreage
from any new owners for the land which was not received from Mallard Park
1st through 3rd additions. In any event, the City should try to "tie down"
the exact amount of land owed and means to insure its eventual dedication.
The new parcel being created into five lots owned by Wilmus Family Properties
is subject to parks dedication. In as much as it would serve no useful
purpose to take land dedication on this 2 acre parcel, the City should seek
to include it in the computation for park dedication in the future neigh-
borhood park. The commission may want to consider this while determining
how it wishes to handle the current park land deficiency. An option that
might be considered would be to require the payment of the equivalent cash
fee, to be held in an escrow account, which would be held until such time
as the City receives the proposed future park. Or, the rewriting of the
development agreement might include new language insuring the land dedication.
Commission Action: The Commission should review the data and make its
recommendation concerning the various issues to the City Council regarding
the deficiency of park land currently owed to the City on the platting of
Mallard Park 1st through 3rd additions; And its recommendation concerning
the parcel being divided into five lots.

A COMMISSION MEMBER'S CODE
As a commission member, I believe that the primary purposes
of a commission are to achieve effective and wise guidance of the
department through group thinking and action, to raise the stan-
dards of commission membership and to improve the level of
recreation and park services to the community which supports it.
C realize that mine is a community trust, that I represent
all the people and that I have a duty to the community as well
as to my park and recreation department I pledge myself, there-
fore, to cultivate an "educated heart" so that I may be sensitive
to my obligations and relationships in this trusteeship. I sub-
scribe to the code of an ethical person, remembering that ethics
refers to what a person is morally obliged to do or not to do
in a given situation.
I believe that commission service can be an expression of
democratic citizenship, signifying a willingness to accept
community responsibility and the charge to preserve popular
control of American public services. Respecting the dignity
and worth of the individual, I shall base my relations with
people on their qualities as individuals without distinction
as to race or creed or color or economic or social status. I
believe that a person's greatest possession, as well as his
greatest contribution to society, may lie in the ways in which
he differs from me, rather than in the ways in which we are
similar. I shall accept these differences and try to build
a useful relationship upon them.
I uphold the principles of my organization, recognizing
and assuming my responsibility as a commission member to establish
and administer the best possible program and policies for my
park and recreation department. I shall learn its program
and objectives, give to it a fair share of my time and personal
abilities, keep a community wide perspective knowing that, for
sound community service, my department's work must be coordi-
nated with the total community.
I promise to be loyal to my own organization and a good
neighbor to other agencies. My attitude shall be one of co-
operative open mindedness and objectivity. In carrying out
my assignments, I shall be professional in realizing that it
is not possible to lay down absolute rules for all situations.
I shall be willing to think things through with the other
commission members, weighing alternatives and exercising good
judgement in choosing among them.
I have faith in the fellowship of common endeavor, be-
lieving that unity is accomplished through the resolution of
differences and not in their suppression. I recognize the
value and the necessity of mutual understanding and teamwork
between the commission and the staff in developing a good
department. I realize that the functions of the commission
and the staff are different but that, with common goals in
focus, and with confidence in and respect for each other, methods
of joint participation will not be difficult to find.
I shall try to be a good commission member: a believer,
a planner, a doer, an interpreter, a prophet, a reformer, a
builder, a friend, a good citizen.
Desiring to contribute all that I can to the betterment
of my community and its people, I willingly accept this code
for commission members and will be guided by it.

EAGAN ADVISOP..Y PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission is an appointed commission
of the City Council of volunteer citizens. The purpose of the commission is
to advise and make recommendations to the City Council concerning both parks
and recreation issues. In addition the commission provides input to City
staff, in affect, acts as an advisory board on community interests concerning
recreation and parks.
Organization: The commission consists of 10 members who are appointed by the
City Council for three (3) year terms.
Chairman, vice chairman and secretary are elected annually by the commission
members at an "organizational meeting" in January /February. Study committees
are also organized at this time. Meetings are held monthly, or at the call
of the chair- person.
Members Role: The Advisory Commission work covers a broad range of issues
which must be acted upon in a timely manner. To accomplish this work, regular
attendance and participation by members is essential. Occasionally, the
formation of "task" or "study groups" becomes necessary to look into or work
further on more complex issues. Assignment to these groups is voluntary.
Because regular participation is important to the functioning of the commission,
the City Council in January of 1974 passed a motion that three consecutive
absences by a member may be replaced on the commission. If members find
that commitments'prohibits regular attendance or causes a period of extended
absences, they should seriously consider resigning the commission.
Perhaps the most significant responsibility the members have is to keep an
open mind to parks issues. Listening, learning and discussion of issues are
important aspects of commission work. Decision making should be based on in-
formation gathered and what can be seen as working towards the betterment of
the City and parks and recreation system. Maintaining objectivity in the
face of special interest groups is often difficult, but essential to a balanced
approach to parks. Both long term objectives and short term benefits should
be considered on all issues.
The Advisory Commission acts as a group; disagreement and divergent views are
expected and desirable. However, these views are not to be represented to
outside organizations /committees as being representative of the views of the
Advisory Commission or City. Members need to be certain that they do not
express personal views and interests as that of the City or Parks and
Recreation Department.
Responsibility /Authority: The commission does not have statutory powers, as
do "Park Boards." It is a creation of the City Council with the responsibility
of parks and recreation. The commission reviews residential development for
recommendation of parks dedication; annually reviews the budget, provides
input regarding programming, hears citizens requests and investigates issues
for recommendation. In addition to the general responsibility of parks and
recreation, the commission will perform "special" responsibilities as well.
As an example, the Advisory Commission provided input and reviewed the City
wide Bicycle Trails Plan, the needs for a System Plan, reviewed plans for
park development, and guidance in the development of the System Plan itself.
Staff: The City employs a professional administrator for the Parks and
Recreation Department whose responsibility includes the day to day direction
and operation of the department. Directly responsible to the City Administrator
and City Council, the director prepares the operational budget, purchases
major equipment items, oversees the forestry department, weed control pro-
gram, plans parks maintenance and development activities, as well as give
direction to the effective operation of recreational programming, etc.
As the position relates to the Advisory Commission, the director prepares the
Commission's agenda and support information concerning agenda items. Items
require commission action, informational items on parks and programs are
presented by the director and communicated to the appropriate parties.
The City Administrator and City Planner occasionally attend meetings of the
Advisory Commission and will comment on council directives, as well as back-
ground information pertaining to City development.
For Your Information:
Park Dedication: The City has enacted an ordinance under Minnesota laws, which
grants a community the authority to receive land for park purposes from
residential developers. This dedication is set at 100 of the land to be
developed. In :instances in which suitable land for park purposes is not
available, or the amount of land is not sufficient to support a park, a cash
dedication is taken. The amount of the cash dedication is based on the type
of residential unit. The commission annually reviews the fees for possible
adjustment. The cash collected goes into the "park site acquisition and
development" fund for purchase and /or development of parks throughout the
community. This dedication requirement was extended to Commercial and
Industrial property upon recommendation and approval of the City Council
effective January 1, 1983.
Comp Plan: Required by the Metropolitan Council the City prepared a
"Comprehensive Guide Plan" for the City. One segment of the plan includes
parks. Neighborhood service areas were defined to help determine what park
needs might be for each portion of the City.
C.I.P. or Capital Improvement Program: The department has prepared a C.I.P.
document which lists each park area and improvement to each park for a five
year period. (This list does not include facilities) The five year program
would cost (if funds were available) in excess of three (3) million dollars.
P.U.D.: A planned unit development is an agreement between a City and developer/
land owner to develop the land included in the agreement according to a specific
criteria; including residential densities, park land, commercial area, with a
proposed time frame for development. P.U.D.'s run for a period of 5 to 15
years.
Systems Plan: A System Plan is a document of intansive study of the park and
recreation system to determine existing deficiencies in land and type of
facilities the City needs to provide its citizens. The study seeks to focus
in on a specific park needs, priortize those needs via -vis the rest of the park
system needs, as well as provide direction for the department in the
development of existing and future parks.
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: FEBRUARY 3, 1983 COMMISSION MEETING
February 1983
Following the call to order by the chair person; the approval of the
agenda; and approval of minutes from January 6 and the special meeting of
January 20, 1983; the first order of business would be the organization of
the commission for this year. The organizational matter includes the
selection of a chair person, vice -chair person and secretary for the commission.
In addition, the Advisory Commission should establish the day and time of
its monthly meeting. It has been traditional for the Advisory Commission
to establish the first Thursday of the month at 7 :00 P.M. for its meeting
date /time. This is subject to be reviewed by the commission and establish
annually.
Several standing committees or ad hoc committees are established by the
commission. These standing committee's in the past, have consisted of the
development committee, trails committee, and a recreation committee. In
1982 there were two additional committee's appointed; the park "Names
Committee" and a "Teen program study committee."
The commission should undertake to establish any committee (s) they feel
are necessary to carry out its work during the year.
Under Development Proposals there are two items to be reviewed by the
Advisory Commission. The first item is the platting of Sperry Univac
Park; consisting of approximately 210 acres. This parcel has not previously
been platted but is designated by a meets and bounds legal description.
As a condition of approval for the new building addition nearing completion,
the City Council has required Sperry Univac to comply by platting the parcel
prior to occupancy of the building. Therefore, Sperry Univac is complying
with the City's requirement to plat this parcel at this time.
The second item for commission members review consists of a preliminary review
of parcels 13 and 14 of the Lexington South Planned Unit development. These
two parcels are north of Wilderness Run Road and west of Dodd Road. (see
attachment showing location) At this time, the developer has not begun
the preliminary plat review process. However, the intended developer of
these two parcels is suggesting possible revisions in the intended park
land dedication required in the Lexington South Planned Unit development.
Because of this possible revision, staff felt it would be appropriate for
the Advisory Commission to review a sketch plan at this time as a means of
determining commission members concerns. If at such time the developer
submits a preliminary application, said application would return to the
Advisory Commission for official action and recommendation to the City Council.
Therefore, staff will not be seeking official recommendation in regards to
this parcel but would like to have commission members initial reaction and
reviewal.
Under Old Business: The first item for priority for the commission would be
the items pertaining to the systems plan study. Please refer to the packet
for information which has been prepared in regards to this item. Information
Page 2
regarding the second item under Old Business, commission members job descrip-
tion, is also included. The third item under Old Business is the the
second review of the draft of the Gifts Book. Members will recall that at
last months meeting the first draft was presented for review by the Advisory
Commission. The second draft has been made which is close to the format
revision and incorporates the changes suggested by the Advisory Commission.
Staff would appreciate the commission's review and comments on this second
draft revision prior to the printing process.
The last item under Old Business for the commission is the determination
of the 1983 commission objectives. At the last meeting of the Advisory
Commission, members and staff suggested several objectives for the Advisory
Commission to pursue during the coming months. Suggested at that January
6th meeting was the continuation of the official naming of as many parks as
signs might be constructed for 1983, continuation of reviewing parks and
playgrounds in other communities, suggestions for visiting special use
facilities in other communities such as swimming pools, tennis courts,
ice arenas, archery ranges, and the like. Additional suggestions and input
from committee members has been requested by the chairman prior to the
adoption of objectives for the commission.
New Business: The first single item under New Business concerns the extension
of skating dates beyond February 13th at three Class B facilities. A separate
memo has been prepared for commission members review on this item.
Other Business /Reports: Staff will make a brief report to the commission
regarding the recently completed arrangement with the City of Burnsville's
Parks and Recreation Department for the joint purchase and use of a wood
sign maker.
As before, if members are unable to make the regular meeting, your notifi-
cation to the office will be appreciated.
One final reminder; Tuesday, February 8th there is a joint meeting with
the City Council to review the Systems Plan study with the consultant.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: PARKS SYSTEMS PLAN STUDY FEBRUARY 3, 1983 MEETING
Several items require Advisory Commission members review at the regular
meeting in preparation of the joint meeting with the City Council which
has been set for Tuesday, February 8th.
The first item to be reviewed is the Commission's recommendations on the
three remaining park sites for development of preliminary concept plans.
As you recall, the Council and Commission have previously selected seven
park sites for concept plans. These plans have now been completed. The
Commission will need to determine which three park site locations should
be designated for this concept plan work.
The second item for Commission consideration is the selection of ten park
sites to be reviewed for analysis and written recommendations by the
consultant. The Commission should have its suggested list prepared for
discussion and review with the City Council at the February 8th meeting.
A final list can then be prepared at the joint meeting allowing the
consultant to proceed with this phase of the plan. Upon the completion
of the written recommendations, and the completion /approval of concept
plans, neighborhood meetings could then be conducted.
The third item for review are the preferred concept plans for the seven
parks already completed. The seven parks include South Oaks, Lakeside,
Capricorn, Wedgewood, Blue Cross /Blue Shield, Coachman and DeBoer Parks.
A preferred scheme or combination of schemes(which may include elements
from more than one concept plan) should be noted. Members need not take
formal action at this time to recommend, but should begin to assess which
plan (s) they prefer. No revisions to the concept plans will be made at
this time, pending review and comment by the neighborhood group. Follow-
ing the neighborhood meetings, suggestions by the neighborhoods as well
as the Advisory Commission and City Council, a revised concept plan
could then be prepared. This "final" concept plan will then be included
with the systems plan study.
Attached to this memo is a summary of the seven park sites which briefly
summarizes each of the schemes prepared for each park site. It may help
the Commission members to recall those park site plans and assist them
in the review process. In addition, staff will have the park scheme plans
posted at the City Hall by 6 :30 P.M. on February the 3rd. This will allow
Commission members to come in early and make their own review of the plans,
prior to the start of the regular meeting. If this is not convenient for
you, the plans will be at the Parks and Recreation Department office and
can be made avaiable for your inspection.
Staff would also like the Advisory Commission's suggestions for agenda items
to be reviewed with the City Council at the joint meeting. Tentatively, a
general review of systems standards and classification will be discussed
first. (as previously reviewed and recommended by the Advisory Commission)
Also included will be three previous items concerning the selection of park
sites, review of ponds and lake studies and recommendation of the trails
portion of the plan. This tentative agenda may be over ambitious. However,
it's critical to the timely established and convening of neighborhood meet-
Page 2
ing that the final items be concluded at the earliest opportunity.
PARK MASTER PLAN SUMMARIES
EAGAN PARK SYSTEM PLAN
1. SOUTH OAKS PARK
Scheme A. Small parking lot proposed near lake, double tennis court, east to west
soccer field, hard courts, and sliding hill down towards Hay Lake. Play equipment
remains as it exists. Paved trail proposed linking east and west.
Scheme B. Lake orientation is based on walks and decks on hill side, near lake.
Soccer and softball field proposed which would require removal of some of the large
oaks on site. Also proposed are horseshoe pits, paved trail system, play equipment
(existing area) and parking (head -in) from Hay Lake Road.
Scheme C. Lake orientation is established by multi- purpose shelter near lake below
s iddT ing hill (for use in summer for picnicking, winter as sledding and skating shelter).
Skating on lake is proposed using service road through park to lake. Moving existing
play equipment allows north -south soccer field on east side, plus hard courts, volley-
ball and play equipment on the west. Paved trails also proposed.
Recommendation. Scheme A but with tennis as future, add horsehoe pits and some
additional trails.
2. LAKESIDE PARK
Suite 100 2611 Central Ave. N.E.
Minneapolis, Mn. 55416 781 -6696
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE PLANNING DESIGN
Scheme A. Primary facility is an all grass 250' ballfield oriented with batters facing/
hitting toward street. Play equipment on east side, with hard court games area. Paved
trail proposed back into remote parts of site.
Scheme B. Primary facility is a trail system which provides looping trails enclosing
activity centers. The largest (central) area is a grassy summer play meadow and winter
skating area. Other features include sliding hill, partially open shelter for skaters,
and picnickers. Play equipment built into hill, 1 tennis court on east side, also hard
court games area, horseshoe pits and volleyball area.
Scheme C. A large rectangular shaped, flat, grass field is proposed to dominate the
site. Also proposed are a paved trail, play equipment and 2 tennis courts.
Recommendation. Scheme A, but with the play equipment area moved more to ,a
central location.
3. CAPRICORN PARK
All schemes feature a full size baseball field, 2 hockey rinks, free skating area, tot
lot, 4 tennis courts, and a shelter /toilets building with off street parking.
Scheme A. Unlike Schemes B, C or D, A has an additional 100' wide strip of land
along the north edge, resulting in substantial area for buffering. Parking proposed in
2 lots for 108+ vehicles, with archery butts and target area established below hill.
Calesthetic area and exercise area proposed for flat area, near Wilderness Run Road
and Lexington, south -west orientation on ballfield.
Scheme B. One 112 space parking lot, north orientation on baseball field, vita
course on hillside, small parking area and calesthetic area proposed below hill
Scheme C. One 148 space parking lot, northeast orientation on baseball field,
winter activities crowd west property line.
Scheme D. One 89 space parking lot, southwest orientation on baseball field.
Recommendation. Scheme B with extra land of Scheme A.
4. WEDGEWOOD PARK
All schemes provide at least one softball field, play equipment and trails.
Scheme A. A soccer field could be overlayed on softball field, no off street parking,
passive facilities located near existing trees and pond on east side.
Scheme B. In addition to softball field is a smaller practice field, and small 22 car
parking lot in southeast corner.
Scheme C. Similar to B in content except that on- street parking replaces off street
lot resulting in preservation of a nicer passive and picnic area near pond.
2
Scheme D. Very intense site useage. One softball field, overlayed soccer, practice
ballfield, archery range near hillside, play equipment and hard court games area
located at corner screened by berms, on- street parking.
Scheme E. Heavy athletic orientation, 2 full size softball fields, each overlayed
with soccer. 20 car parking lot along Wilderness Run boundary.
Recommendation. Scheme C with screening along Wilderness Run and Lexington.
Reserve future parking option like Scheme E.
5. BLUE CROSS /BLUE SHIELD PARK
All schemes provide 2 softball fields, 2 hockey rinks, pleasure skating, 2 tennis courts,
play equipment, and hard courts.
Scheme A. The softball fields are separated, 44 spaces for parking are proposed in the
central area. Access to the parking would come off of Blue Cross Road.
Scheme B. The two ballfields are at the east side, the 40 car parking would come off a
future road along the north. The furthest ballfield is a little for from parking. Neighbor-
hood facilities and skating are all at the west end.
Scheme C. The two ballfields are at the west end. The access comes off both Blue
Cross Road and the northern road into two lots (11 and 42 spaces). Winter uses are all
located at the east end. The relationship of parking to facilities is very strong in
this plan.
Scheme D. Contains separated ballfields, and parking and access split off in two
locations like Scheme C. This scheme tends to crowd the south park line.
Recommendation: Scheme C but with additional trails and more buffering along south
boundary.
6. COACHMAN PARK
All schemes include 2 hockey rinks, skating, play equipment and at least one softball
field.
Scheme A. Skating and hockey are located at the far east side, somewhat far from the
19 off street parking spaces along Coachman. The pleasure skating rink is large.
Scheme B. Ice skating facilities are in the southeast corner of the site, 2 tennis courts
are proposed. The 22 car parking area is somewhat far from the skating area. A soccer
field could be overlayed on the softball field.
3
Scheme C. This is the only scheme which does not include the extra 1.5 acres along
the north (it is somewhat crowded). The 28 car parking lot works well with the ball
field, but not well with skating. The pleasure rink is small but a freestanding soccer
field is possible.
Scheme D. Two softball fields are proposed on the east side with a 37 car parking
area and winter uses working out reasonably well on the west. No open field games
area is offered.
Recommendation. Scheme D is good, but a future shelter should probably be moved
north of the parking lot. Scheme B is a different emphasis and also good; it could
be revised to bring parking into a more central location.
7. DeBOER PARK
All schemes involve at least a trail link from Lexington to Duckwood Trail and west
to Widgeon Way and play equipment to be sited on the hill overlooking the pond.
Scheme A. No additional land is involved in this plan. Facilities would include a
small play meadow, play equipment area, and one or two areas where trail development
across a swamp will be necessary.
Scheme B. Three areas of additional land, approximately 110' wide would be added all
along the north edge of the park. Facilities would be similar to Scheme A except that
all but one of the wet trail crossings could be handled without much problem. In
addition, the extra land improves the area available for a play meadow and a small
ballfield could actually be installed near Lexington.
Scheme C. Acquisition of 2.85 acres is involved, but the shape involves a specially
shaped parcel. This additional land provides enough land in the central area for quite
a large playfield. Large enough for several types of activities (soccer, a ballfield,
tennis, etc.) in addition to the play equipment. Also suggested is a small parking lot
off of Lexington Avenue.
Recommendation. Either Scheme B or C is acceptable. It will largely depend on what
boundary can be agreed to with the developer.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: COMMISSION JOB DESCRIPTION
February 1983
At the November 1981 meeting of the Advisory Commission; the commission
formerly adopted materials the commission had previously reviewed regard-
ing a "Job Description" for commission members. Included in the materials
was a "Commission Members Code" which was patterned after a hand out of
the National Recreation and Parks Association Citizen's Board Members.
At the time of adoption by the commission, it was the direction of the
commission to establish an annual review of the materials at the time
of commission organization each year.
Therefore, the attached materials have been updated to reflect the change
in nomenclature from "Committee" to "Commission and is presented for
your review.
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: WINTER SKATING RINKS- EXTENDING SCHEDULES
February 1983
The mild winter temperatures experienced this winter has had a tremendous
impact upon the outdoor skating rinks. Spot checks of attendance reports
combined with "windshield" surveys by staff, indicated some of the heaviest
and highest recording of skaters at virtually all neighborhood skating/
sledding facilities. The only exceptions to these attendance areas would
be the Highview skating rink. And, to a lesser extent the rink at Lexington.
Commission members may recall it is the intent of the department to main-
tain two Class A rinks at Rahn and Well Site, as long as weather permits,
or until March 1. All Class B facilities are to be shut down after skating
on February 13. Class B facilities include Carnelian, Woodhaven, Highview,
Pilot Knob and Lexington Parks. Staff is of the opinion that because of
increased attendance, the skating season for the Carnelian, Woodhaven and
Pilot Knob facilities should be extended from the planned February 13 date
of closing to February 21. February 21st is a holiday for students of the
three school districts and the last presumed day of skating weather(providing
weather conditions do not force closing of these facilities before that
date)
It is estimated the cost of staffing these facilities for the additional
skating days will be approximately $525.00. Normally, the extension of
skating days at any of the rinks would not be budgetary problem. This is
because savings in salaries for attendants are realized during cold weather
days occurring between January 1 and February 13, as a result of extreme
cold temperatures and rink closings. Thesethnused "'days are then used to
finance any additional days of skating. However, as of this date, the
department has not had to close any of its skating facilities since the
first of the year. The only closed days experienced this skating season
were in December of 1982, which is not part of this budget period. The
department budget provides for sufficient staffing salaries of facilities
assuming an opening on December 17, 1983. If December of 1983 is similar
to that which has been experienced in the last several Decembers, there
will be sufficient number of days closed between that date and the end
of the year to cover this $525.00 "overrun" experienced between February
13 and February 21.
In conclusion staff's recommendation is to allow,(weather permitting)
staffing the rinks at Woodhaven, Carnelian and Pilot Knob from February
14 through February 21. Staff has already contacted the warming house
attendants and made arrangements to renew employment through this date,
assuming the approval of the Advisory Commission.
