MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: AUGUST 4, 1987
RE: THURSDAY, AUGUST 6 COMMISSION MEETING
Preceding the 7:30 P.M. meeting, a Commission tour will leave City Hall
beginning at 6:30 P.M. The tour will visit various parks projects now under
construction and will be returning to City Hall at 7:30 for the beginning of
the regular meeting.
After approval of the agenda, approval of the July 2 Minutes and development
items, the first order of business pertains to the Manor Lake Addition.
Commission members will recall that Manor Lake Addition was presented to the
Advisory Commission last month with a recommendation for denial. This item
has been referred back to the Advisory Commission in effort to resolve the
parks issue. Staff has met with Mr. Bob Middlemist, developer for the
project, concerning the City's parks concerns. Included in this packet is a
separate memorandum prepared by Landscape Arc hitect /Parks Planner, Steve
Sullivan, concerning the alternatives available to the Commission and the
developer concerning this project.
The second item under Old Business is Stewart's Second Addition. This
particular development is the apartment units at the street intersection of
Lexington Avenue and Yankee Doodle. The developer has been in contact with
staff concerning development of the pond area at this intersection. The
Commission had previously recommended a full cash dedication rather than
provide any credit for proposed trails around this pond. At a meeting with
staff, the developer is proposing to modify this plan and enhance it in an
effort to make this a visual and public amenity to the apartment units and
area residents. This is intended to be done through coordinating the trailway
around the pond with trailways within 0' Leary Park. (As of the writing of
this memorandum, staff has not received new submissions regarding this.) The
developer will be seeking credit toward this work against the City's cash
dedication requirements. The developer is no longer requesting City
maintenance for the trails.
The third item under Old Business is the Community Center Study Committee
survey information. Again included in the packet is a brief memorandum from
the Director of Parks and Recreation concerning this issue.
There are no new items to be considered under New Business.
There is a single item under Construction Projects Update. This pertains to
the recently awarded tennis and hard courts construction contract. Parks
Planner, Steve Sullivan, will brief the Commission with additional information
pertaining to the tennis courts contract; in particular, the Commission should
be made aware of the decision by staff not to procede with tennis courts at
Walnut Hill Park. Included in this packet is a memorandum to the Commission
from staff regarding this particular item and the reasons for deletion of
tennis courts at this location.
Other Business and Reports
There are eight items under Other Business and Reports for the Commission's
review. The first is the deadline for the submission of articles for the City
newsletter. Staff will be preparing items from the department and wishes to
solicit concerns of the Advisory Commission which may be included in the
newsletter. Item two: Staff will update the Advisory Commission on the
recent Land and Art appraisal completed by the consultants to the City on the
Cultural Garden.
Staff has submitted the 1988 proposed Parks and Recreation budget to the City
Administrator's Office. The Administrator is now reviewing all department
budget requests for submission to the City Council. The Director of Parks and
Recreation would briefly like to explain to the Commission some of the
proposed budget inclusions, as well as exclusions in the 1987 budget.
Roger Martin has asked that the Commission take up the issue of the "annual
picnic" held in September of each year.
Staff has recently received notification that its core application has
received $15,000 for Fish Lake and Schwanz Lake. (See enclosures.) Park
Superintendant John Von De Linde will be present to review this with the
Advisory Commission. Staff will also update the Commission on the proposed
Eagan High School /Northview Park joint development processing.
Item seven is a letter from Mr. Kevin Mitchell representing the Eagan Athletic
Association concerning the Association's desire to be involved in insuring
adequate ball fields for youth participants. Chairman Martin and the Director
of Parks and Recreation intend to meet with Mr. Mitchell in the near future to
discuss ways in which the E.A.A. can be involved with the Commission's study
and review process.
The final inclusion is a letter from Mr. Robert Smith, addressed to Mayor Bea
Blomquist. Mr. Smith makes note of the fact that the recent school patrol
picnic had to be held outside of Eagan because facilities were not available
in sufficient size to handle this event. Mr. Smith suggests that the City
undertake a community center project.
As always, if there are other items that should be placed on the agenda or
members are unable to attend, please contact the department.

MINUTES OF JUNE 4, 1987
CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS
Subject to Approval
With a motion by Alt, seconded by Sames, with all members voting in
favor, the minutes of June 4, 1987 were approved.
INVITATION TO JOIN MINNESOTA RECREATION AND PARKS ASSOCIATION
Ms. Kay Zwernik, Executive Director of the Minnesota Recreation and
Parks Association, and Ms. Joan Lonsbury, Chairman of Board and Commission
section of MRPA, were present to invite the commission to become members of
the state association. Ms. Zwernik reviewed for the Advisory Commission the
benefits the association provides to its board and commission members. Joan
Lonsbury distributed informational packets and flyers concerning recent
activities of the board and commissions section. Chairman Martin and
commission members questioned the cost, legislative lobbying efforts and other
activities of the association. Chairman Martin started that he felt the cost
was reasonable and the benefit to Eagan and the commission would be well worth
the investment. With a motion by Dick Carroll, seconded by Caponi, and all
members voting in favor, the commission recommended membership as a part of
the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association.
The following Consent Agenda Items were presented for approval.
With a motion by Carroll, seconded by Caponi, and all members voting in
favor, the commission approved recommendation to the City Council on the
following items:
1. Jean Addition /Wayne Murphy That a cash dedication requirement be a
condition of plat approval.
2. Pine Ridge Addition That a cash dedication for seven lots be a
condition of plat approval.
3. Eagan Royale Addition Revised, Meritor Corporation That this revised
preliminary plat proposing 72 lots be subject to a cash dedication
requirement.
4. Building Block Addition That this preliminary plat and amendment to the
Cedar Cliff Planned Development be subject to a cash dedication
requirement consistent with the Commercial /Industrial property.
5. Kinder Care Addition That this preliminary plat be subject to a cash
dedication requirement consistent with the City's commercial /industrial
policy.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
Manor Lake Addition Director of Parks Ken Vraa explained the
revised development plan for Manor Lake Addition, explaining the circulatory
system, topography, etc. Parks Planner Steve Sullivan reviewed the
differences in the proposed parks plan from the original Manor Lake proposal
and the revised proposal.
Chairman Martin stated that the service section is a small
residential area but that the proposed 2.1 acres for a park dedication is
totally inadequate and is less than the required 10% land dedication.
Commission member Caponi stated that under the old plan it appeared that the
City had something for a park. He questioned whether this park met City
standards for dedication. Steve Sullivan stated that the 2.1 acres of
dedication does not meet the City's dedication policy. Bob Porter stated
that Commission should recommend denial of this plat because the proposed park
doesn't meet needs of the City, parks dedication, nor does it meet City
Ordinance. There were additional questions from members Caponi, Sames and
Alt regarding size of the park, potential for future expansion or acquisition
elsewhere.
With a motion by Masin, seconded by Caponi and all members voting in
favor, it was recommended that the preliminary plat be denied in that the
proposed park does not meet City Code requirements for a 10% land dedication,
that the 2.1 acres is insufficient. Further, that the park does not provide
for additional opportunities for expansion to the south as did the original
Manor Lake Addition.
Dallas Development Director of Parks and Recreation Ken Vraa
reviewed the proposed Dallas Development stating that the issue for the
commission has to do with proposed intended use of a private school. Chairman
Martin stated that he felt the commission had adequately covered this issue at
a previous meeting and unless there was other discussion or new information,
this plat should be subject to a cash dedication.
On a motion by Alt, seconded by Porter, with all members voting in
favor, the commission has recommended that Dallas Development be subject to a
cash dedication development consistent with the City's commercial /industrial
policy.
OLD BUSINESS
Director of Parks and Recreation Ken Vraa distributed to the
Advisory Commission the rating sheet to be used for prioritizing and rating
commission objectives. There were several questions by members Caponi and
Martin regarding methodology and the importance of prioritizing, noting that
priorities may change as a result of time factors.
2
The commission then reviewed each of the commission's objectives and
by mutual agreement, prioritized the various goals as distributed. It was
decided to group these goals by priority categories and distribute them to the
commission and City Council.
COMMUNITY CENTER STUDY
The Director of Parks and Recreation explained that in the packet
there was a draft of an interim report to the City Council regarding the
community center study. Three members previously reviewed an initial draft
for a rewrite. The commission then reviewed each page of the draft or comment
noting several changes in the report.
Chairman Martin questioned whether staff had been able to do any
work on the suggested survey of the community concerning their interest
levels. The Director of Parks and Recreation responded that he was meeting
with a firm later in the month who specializes in community surveys to
determine its value to the City. After additional discusssion and
questioning, with a motion by Caponi, seconded by Masin, it was recommended
that the interim report to the City Council, with noted changes, be forwarded
to the City Council. All members voted in favor.
NEW BUSINESS
LETTER OF REQUEST, MR ROY HARVEY, JR
Director of Parks and Recreation Ken Vraa indicated that the City
had been contacted by Mr. Roy Harvey, Jr. regarding the trailway on Riverton
Avenue and Riverton Point. He stated that a letter from Mr. Harvey was
included in the packet along with additional background information provided
by staff. He stated that he was under the impression that Mr. Harvey was
going to be present to discuss this item but was not available at this time.
Commission member Carroll stated that he remembered the Advisory Commission
had spent an inordinate amount of time regarding the whole trails' issue with
the Blackhawk Oaks and Blackhawk Lake Additions.
The question was whether the trail was installed prior to Mr. Harvey
building his house. Director of Parks and Recreation Vraa said that the trail
had been completed and installed prior to the house and lot construction. Mr.
Caponi interjected that because he had built the house after the trail had
been installed, he made some presumptions which he should not have done. He
suggested that the commission reject this without comment because this is too
trivial of an issue. Bob Porter suggested that this was a way of alleviating
Mr. Harvey's problems, placing the burden on other homeowners. He questioned
whether they had been contacted by Mr. Harvey or staff regarding this issue.
Mr. Carroll stated that he felt the alternative was more difficult and that
this was the best alternative of the two regardless of the timing of when the
trail was installed. He went on to state that he agreed with staff's comment
that the trailway is not completed and judgement is premature on its
suitability. Mr. Sames commented that it is not unusual for the City to have
a trail alongside people's homes.
With additional discussion, and a motion by Porter, seconded by
Masin, with all members voting in favor, it was the recommendation of the
Advisory Commission that this trail stay at its present location.
DNR FISHERIES PROGRAM
Director of Parks and Recreation Vraa reviewed the current DNR
Fisheries program and its impact upon City lakes. Bob Porter stated that he
felt that this was an excellent program and one the kids of the community
could take advantage of. There were several positive comments regarding the
status of the fisheries program within the community. No action was taken on
this item.
PARS DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Landscape Architect Steve Sullivan and Director of Parks and
Recreation Ken Vraa reviewed the current status of the construction projects
for the Advisory Commission. They noted that construction was beginning on
Project 87 -01 and that tennis court contract would be open later in the month.
OTHER BUSINESS AND REPORTS
Staff reported on the current status of recreation programs and
summer activities, noting that attendance continues to climb at the summer
playground programs. Staff reported that there continues to be a rather
strong market for recreation activities with the success of the Evening in the
Park series, softball, playgrounds and Friday Fun days.
The Parks Maintenance report was noted without comment from the
Advisory Commission.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business of the Advisory Commission, with a
motion by Alt, seconded by Porter, and all members voting in favor, the
regular Advisory Commission meeting of July 2 was adjourned at 9:15 p.m.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISION
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS RECREATION
DATE: AUGUST 4, 1987
RE: CONSENT AGENDA, AUGUST 6 COMMISSION MEETING
Oak Cliff Pond Second Addition
This site contains nine acres, is within the Winkler Jackson planned new
development area. This P.D. has previously provided for its residential parks
dedication requirements. Therefore, there are no recommendations for parks.
B.V.D. Second Addition
This plat consists of two lots on 2.5 acres at the intersection of Coachman
and Yankee Doodle Roads. This particular parcel is immediately to the south of
Quarry Park.
Recommendation
Let this plat be subject to a cash dedication requirement consistent with
the City's commercial /industrial policy, and for a trailway on Coachman
Road.
The Stoney Point Addition
This application is for 27.3 acres by Meritor Development for a single family
development consisting of 78 lots. This development is east of Blackhawk Glen
and immediately north of Blackhawk Hills Road.
Recommendation
That this plat be subject to a cash dedication requirement for
residential property and for a trailway to be located along the east side
of Federal Drive at the north property line and continue on the east and
south side bordering Federal Drive and Blackhawk Hills Road.
Harvey's Heritage Addition
Primary plat is for rezoning 3.75 agricultural acres to R1 single family.
This plat is for five single family lots along the southwest portion of Fish
Lake, east of Pilot Knob Road.
Recommendation
That this plat be subject to a cash dedication requirement for single
family development, and for a conservation easement to be placed on the
four lots abutting Fish Lake. Such easements would protect existing
vegetation.
7
Cutter's Ridge Addition
This primary plat application is for rezoning 17 acres to R1 single family.
This plat consists of 37 lots west of Pilot Knob Road and north of Deerwood
Drive. This area is within Park Service Section 21.
Recommendation
That this plat be subject to a cash dedication requirement for the lots
created and for a trailway along Pilot Knob Road.
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT /PARKS PLANNER
DATE: AUGUST 4, 1987
RE: MANOR LAKE ESTATES
BACKGROUND:
At the July 2, 1987 meeting, the Commission reviewed and recommended denial
for the proposed parkland dedication for Manor Lake Additions. Concerns of
the Commission are summarized as follows:
1) The proposal providing 2.1 acres for parkland dedication did not allow for
the necessary facilities for parkland development. Approximately .5 acres
of the proposed 2.1 acres is lake and steep slopes. The flat area to the
south is not at a dimension allowing for a 200'x200' minimum open play
area.
2) The southern roadway does not allow for expansion for the park as the
previous development proposal. Besides inadequate park area, the
closeness of the roadways provided no "safety zone" to the open play
activities.
3) The proposed sewer line which is to run east /west across the park places
constraints on the development potential. Utility easements typically
restrict the location of structural facilities such as playgrounds. The
depth of the storm sewer may also influence the grading potential for the
park.
REVISED SUBMISSION:
At the July 21 City Council meeting, the Council continued the item allowing
additional time for revision and review by the Advisory Parks Recreation
Commission at the August 6, 1987 meeting.
The proponent has submitted a revised plat layout which increases the park
area to 3.9 acres (Figure #1). The proposal allows for future expansion with
development to the south and west. A road is proposed north of the parkland
and extends to a temporary cul -de -sac. The developer anticipates to extend
the road to the southeast corner of the existing homestead (Parcel A).
Anticipating future purchase of Parcel A, the road could then continue through
to the homesteaded parcel to create a cul -de -sac located within Parcel B.
The developer owns Parcel B and until the future road connection is possible,
he intends to develop only the westerly lot. The other two lots are land
locked with no road frontage. The developer also proposed a trail corridor
across the road from the park to the lake.
PARKS DEDICATION/DEVELOPMENT REVIEW:
The new proposal satisfies most of the Commission's concerns. The park has
potential for future expansion with development of adjacent parcels. The
developer has agreed to grade the park alleviating grading retraints in
respect to the sewer line. The proposal does not, however, provide direct park
access to the lake due to the bisection from the road.
Staff proposed an alternative layout to the developer which allows for lake
access from the park with no road bisection. (See Figure #2). Access to the
homestead property and Parcel B would be accomplished with road links from the
future developments to the south and west.
This alternative approach (Figure #2) allows for park expansion, facility
development, and lake access. The alternative relies on future development
for road access to Parcels A B from the west. The developer is concerned
that this alternative could landlock Parcels A B, assuming the westerly lots
were not developed accordingly. Dale Runkle, City Planner, stated that
typically adjacent developments are required to provide both utility and
access linkage to landlocked parcels. Based on this determination, development
according to Figure #1 is in accordance, but park needs are not satisfied.
As a possible compromise, the developer agrees to
according to Figure #2, allowing for direct lake
following:
1) The future development of the southern and western
to Parcels A B.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION:
1 Denial of the proposal due to inadequate parkland dedication
Approval of parkland dedication based on Figure #1
Approval of parkland dedication according to Figure #2
Approval of the Compromise Position
Landscape Architect /Parks Planner
SS /js
o
platting the property
access subject to the
parcels provides access
2) The developer would phase development in four stages with the park
dedication area being the last. If the southern and western parcels do
not provide timely and adequate access to the landlocked parcel, the City
and developer could agree to developing the plat according to Figure #1.
To review the development submission in regards to parks dedication
recommending one of the following to the City Council:
The City should review the parkland dedication again at the fourth phase of
the development to determine if Parcels A B need access through the Manor
Lake Addition. Then the park would be limited as in Figure #1. If access is
available to Parcel A and B from the west, then the park would be as in Figure
#2.

PARKS DEDICATION /DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
CITY OF EAGAN
PARKS DEDICATION POLICY
At the June 4, 1987 meeting, the Commission reviewed and recommended denial
for providing any parkland dedication fee credit for the proposed recreation
facility development adjacent to the northern storm water pond. The proposal
included an 8' bituminous loop trail, three fitness stations, benches,
fountain and landscaping. The Commission felt that the proposal did not
provide significant or sufficient amenities to warrant a reduction in the
parks dedication fee.
The proponent has submitted a revised proposal for the recreational
development of the storm water pond area. (See enclosed drawing.) The
proposal deletes the miscellaneous benches and fitness stations. The
amenities and facilities provided are as follows:
1. Landscaping, lawn and natural areas
2. Loop trail connected to municipal trail system
3. Pedestrian seating /overlook area
4. Fountain
5. Trail signage
The estimate for development is $90,000.00. The proponent requests that the
Commission recommend a waiver of the parks dedication fee. (See attached
letter.)
The application is for preliminary plat of a 102 unit apartment building on
9.2 acres. A parks cash dedication requirement of $392.00 per unit for
apartments applies. The cash dedication required is $39,98
The proponent requests the Commission to evaluate the proposed amenity and
determine the value of the proposal as it relates to the City's needs and Park
Dedication Policy. The Park Dedication Policy provides for payment reduction
according to the following:
In those cases where subdividers and developers of land provide significant
amenities such as, but not limited to swimming pools, tennis courts, handball
courts, ball fields, etc. within the development for the benefit of those
residing or working therein and where, in the judgment of the Director of
Parks Recreation, such amenities significantly reduce the demands for public
recreational facilities to serve the development, the Director may recommend
to the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission that the amount of land to be
dedicated for park, playground and public open space (or cash contributions in
lieu of such dedication) be reduced by an amount not to exceed 25% of the
amount calculated under paragraph 2 above.
The intent of the design according to the developer is to provide recreational
amenities which complement the municipal trail system and O'Leary Park. The
proposed loop trail would be signed with distance markers which could tie into
the fitness trail /stations located at O'Leary Park. It would add additional
distanct to the O'Leary Park trails. The signage would also provide general
location information to trail linkage and parks. The proposal also places a
pedestrian seating /overlook area at the intersection of Yankee Doodle and
Lexington Avenue. The intent is to provide a pedestrian "station" at a
prominent transportation node a place to rest, take bearing, observe the
fountain and lake. The proposed landscaping is to enhance the trail
experience and visual appeal of the ponding area.
Staff's evaluation of the proposal concludes that these amenities enhance the
property and provide recreational opportunities for public use. For
Commission discussion it should be determined if the proposal has any value to
the park system. Value substantiation can be simplified by asking, "What
would the City pay for this and "Are there other recreation /facility needs
where the cash park fee provides greater benefit
FOR COMMISSION ACTION:
Recommend one of the following to the City Council:
100% Cash Dedication
Partial Cash Dedication based on approved value of the proposal
Waiver Cash Dedication

RE: Carriage Green
Phase II
Pond Schematic
Dear Mr. Vraa:
Howard Stacker and I appreciated the input you and Steve
Sullivan gave us reference the proposed improvements to the
ponding area located at the southeast corner of Yankee Doodle
Road and Lexington Avenue. Our landscape architect, David
Kirscht has met with your staff and we are forwarding to
you for review by the Eagan Park and Recreation Commission
the revised plan which incorporates changes causing this
improvement to enhance Eagan's O'Leary Park. As our improve-
ments will reflect quality and similarity of signage in O'Leary
Park, the residents of Eagan will accept this area as a natural
extension to O'Leary Park.
Once improved, the ponding area will be a significant asset
to the City of Eagan, not only because it removes a environ-
mental blight, but expands the city's facilities at O'Leary
Park and creates a pleasant visual experience for individuals
travelling in automobiles on Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington
Avenue.
As previously discussed, our preliminary estimates indicate
that the proposed improvements will cost approximately $90,000.
As such, we request that the Eagan Park and Recreation Commission
waive the park dedication fee, allowing Stuart Corporation
to apply those funds against the proposed improvements.
We ave welcomed the opportunity to participate with the
Cit ,of Eagan in the design of this improvement and look
fo ward to its' implementation.
V ri truly yours,,

FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: AUGUST 4, 1987
RE: SAMPLE SURVEY COMMUNITY CENTER
As has been discussed, staff has researched the possibility of having an
independent firm do a sample survey pertaining to a community center.
(Attached is a letter from Mr. William Morris, President of Decision Resources.)
Staff has met with Mr. Morris to discuss the process, advantages and
disadvantages of proceeding now with a survey rather than wait until an
architect has been selected.
It is this writer's opinion that a survey would be an extremely helpful too!
Questions could be structured to determine what citizens interests are, the
strength of that interest, willingness to pay for it, facilities that should
be included, as well as helping staff to set out a plan for how best to sell
the necessary bond referendum.
Of concern to staff is the "timing" of implementing such a survey. If the
Commission and Council remain uncertain that there is a broad based support
for a community center, and results of such a survey needed to demonstrate
that there is (or there is not) support, then the survey should be done
now. If, however, everyone is in agreement to proceed to the next stage, then
a survey could be done later at the time an architect is commissioned to
begin preliminary concept plans.
FOR COMMISSION ACTION:
Staff will provide additional background information pertaining to the sample
survey and will be requesting the Commission for direction on how best to
proceed.

City of Eagan
Eagan City Hall

Eagan, Minnesota 55122
Dear Mr. Vraa:
This letter is a follow -up on our telephone conversation of last
Wednesday. It is meant to provide you with a background on my
company, as well as describe several projects undertaken in other
cities which may have relevance in Eagan. The narrative will
provide you with a general overview of our work; however, we
pride ourselves on working with city staff and committees in
tailoring research to fit their unique needs.
DRL has been conducting survey research and strategic planning
for cities for the past decade. Our first ventures were
limited to specific problems the failure of the 1976 bond
referendum in Plymouth for a community recreation center and the
citizen unrest in Minnetonka over construction around Ridgedale.
Both studies were designed to help city policy- makers in passing
a new parks and recreation bond referendum in 1977 in Plymouth
(that effort was successful!) and alleviating tensions in
Minnetonka (action was taken, but the core problem was
unavoidable!). Since that time, cities have also approached us
to design general city opinion assessments or, quality of life
studies as well as more focused readings of residents.
Because of our work across the Metropolitan Area, we are able to
bring a unique comparative perspective to the data analysis. In
the past twelve months, wide ranging studies have been completed
in Inver Grove Heights, Roseville, Shoreview, and a fourth study
is being designed for Plymouth. A large -scale Metropolitan Area
quality of life assessment for First Bank Systems completes our
current data base on Metropolitan residents' attitudes, opinions,
and lifestyles. The norms established by these other studies
permit concrete discussion of citizens' evaluations of city
services and program offerings, as well as the probability of
passage of measures before the electorate. Of course, each city
has its on unique identity and set of values to which citizens
3128 Dean Court Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416 (612) 920 -0337
strongly hold; but the ability to anticipate change or detect
patterns which have characterized other areas give decision
makers a very powerful tool for the assessment of policy options.
The mix of questions contained on each survey is determined by
the city; however, there are several topical areas which address
issues common to most suburbs. It might be helpful for
illustration, to discuss each:
RESIDENTIAL PROFILE: Through the use of both demographic and
attitudinal questions, DRL is able to develop a detailed profile
of city residents. By merging demographics with variables such
as length of time in residence and future mobility, residential
waves can be detected and their implications for the future
explored. Psychographic and recreational questions provide a
means of deriving a city activities profile; in other areas,
clusters of citizens sharing similar recreational preferences
have been identified for both electoral and planning purposes.
The profile, then, augments census and Metropolitan Council data
by linking demographics to attitudes and activities.
REFERENDUM PLANNING: Voters approach referenda with two general
factors in mind: usefulness and cost. DRL has pioneered survey
questions to determine the specifics of the referendum package
with the best chance of passage. Both necessary characteristics
and viable funding levels are established for an issue.
Coalitions in support and opposition are identified, and messages
of persuasion, reinforcement, or neutralization evaluated.
Finally, communications channels for reaching targeted voters are
rated for their cost effectiveness.
SERVICES ASSESSMENT: All too often, city staff are unaware of
problems in their germination stage; existing services can be
criticized for their lack of responsiveness, their inability to
address new problems, or their format of provision. DRL uses two
types of questions: one set measures simple performance; another
set views adequacy in terms of cost trade -offs. It is possible,
then, to compile priority rankings and guidance for budget
expansion or contraction. Much of our previous work has examined
parks and recreation service evaluation: correct facilities
mixes, upkeep and maintenance, perceived needs, usage, and
desired changes. But, we have also evaluated such areas as
emergency services, recycling, and economic development.
CITY INTEGRATION: Using responses to open -ended queries, DRL is
able to isolate what is uniquely special about a municipality in
the eyes of its residents. Parallel to this uniqueness are the
characteristics of the city which residents feel either must
change or should remain inviolate. Another measure of community
solidarity is the citizens' feeling of empowerment and awareness
of city programs and personnel. When these and other measures
are combined, DRL can determine the general predisposition of
5
Decision
ME Resources Ltd.
residents toward city- sponsored planned change.
Naturally, the weight given to each of these topics as well as
the individual questions asked depend upon the research
objectives of the municipality.
Once the survey has been administered and analyzed, DRL continues
to work with the community. We want to insure, through follow
up, that the city is able to use the data to its maximal extent.
A written narrative highlights the major findings of the study
and develops strategic implications. DRL then provides both
formal presentations and work sessions. The former discuss the
survey findings in a question and answer format; the latter raise
key issues in a discussion setting. Many cities plan for a
formal presentation to the City Council, as will as work sessions
with city commissions and staff. After these meetings, DRL
personnel are available by telephone to discuss any further
questions resulting from the analysis or the strategic planning
document.
The cost of a survey depends upon both its length and the size of
the random sample of households. We normally recommend a sample
of 400 households in order to provide a breakdown of the data
into segments of the community (e.g., residential zones, income,
owner /renters, and longevity of residence). The minimum length
of survey instruments in the past has been sixty question units.
By "question unit" DRL acknowledges the fact that asking people
to react to a list of options such as evaluating one of a set
of ten city services takes little interview time and, hence,
should not be counted as a "whole question." Bearing these
considerations in mind, the cost of a sixty question unit survey
of 400 randomly selected households is $4,800.00. An additional
question unit increases the cost by $60.00. We have recently
conducted studies of 110 question unit length and consider that
to be the maximum achievable by telephone.
A common question we are asked concerns keeping people on the
telephone for the duration of a lengthy questionnaire. City
surveys have never proven to be a great problem: most people are
more than willing to spend time discussing their home towns. In
fact, the disconnect, or refusal rate, for city studies is about
three percent. Of course, the questionnaire is structured in
such a fashion as to heighten interest for the respondent. But,
in Minnesota, citizens are very interested and cooperative in
answering non political questions.
The issues raised by cities in previous studies run the gamut of
municipal concerns. During the past three months, we have
concluded surveys in three suburbs. The first of these, in
Dakota County, focused on parks and recreation issues. The
survey assessed facilities usage and need, in addition to judging
the most desired characteristics in a proposed community
/4 1t Decision
MI Resources Ltd.
recreation center. The second study, in Ramsey County, was
evenly divided between city policies and parks and recreation
issues. A very large part of the study analyzed in depth the
a proposed community recreation center referendum. But, other
concerns, such as general city services, future direction of
economic development, and taxing /spending policies were also
considered. The third study, also in Ramsey County, was
partially a follow -up to a 1980 survey. The study was a total
community assessment and covered issues from animal control to
the housing market. The survey was motivated by a perceived
feeling of uneasiness among residents since the earlier study;
the results specifically detailed the salient concerns. As can
be seen, survey research can be used in as many different ways as
there are city concerns!
I hope this discussion has provided some insight into the type of
work we do and its potential usefulness for your purposes. I
have also enclosed both a resume and a capabilities statement of
DRL. If you should have any further questions, please feel free
to contact me; in the meantime, I will plan on contacting your
office after June 22nd.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: STEPHEN SULLIVAN, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT /PARKS PLANNER
DATE: AUGUST 27, 1987
RE: IMPROVEMENT CONTRACT 87 -2
TENNIS COURT /HARDCOURT PLAY AREA CONSTRUCTION
WALNUT HILL PARK
As a result of soil boring evaluation it has been determined that poor soils
are located within the proposed tennis court area at Walnut Hill Park. Four
boring were taken within the corners of the proposed tennis court. (See
attached graphic) Boring #1 and #2 indicate a 5 to 6' depth of lean clay
fill over 2' of silt. Boring #3 indicates 4' of lean clay fill over natural
clay soils. Boring #4 indicates 3' of lean clay and clayey sand fill over
natural soils. The fill soils are frost susceptible and settlement could
also occur. At Boring #2 potential settlements of approximately 1" and
differential frost heaves of approximately 1" could occur. The recommendation
for tennis court construction according to Twin City Testing is as follows:
We understand that the proposed tennis courts will have high quality surfaces
with minimal differential settlement tolerances. Therefore, we do not
recommend constructing the court on the existing fill at this site. The
potential vertical movements due to both settlement and frost heaving could
create cracking of the surface.
In addition, potential frost heaves of the natural clay soils below the fill
could also create unacceptable movements.
If construction at this site is necessary for the tennis court, we recommend
complete excavation to a depth of 6' below the entire tennis court area. Both
fill and natural clays encountered within the 6' depth should be excavated,
If areas of existing fill extend deeper than 6', we recommend excavating this
material down to the natural soils.
With this alternative, we also recommend that draintile be installed near the
base of this and sand subbase. The draintile should consist of properly
filtered perforated drain pipe which can be drained either to a storm sewer or
other suitable outfall.
Staff Recommendations
Staff estimates that a 6' .subgrade excavation and imported granular fill would
cost approximately $24,000, based on the 87 -2 proposal unit prices. A tennis
court facility of this design costs approximately $25,000 $30,000. The soil
correction would be in addition to the estimated facility costs.
As a result of evaluating the soil borings and costs associated with tennis
court development, staff has reviewed a hardcourt play area alternative. The
City standard for a single court play area is a 40' x 40' bituminous pad.
(See attached graphic). The boring indicate a 3' to 4' depth fill area
adjacent to Boring #3 and #4. The recommendation by Twin City Testing for
hardcourt play area construction is as follows:
Based on the four soil borings performed, we recommend situating the
basketball court at Boring #3. This boring is in the northwest corner of the
previously proposed tennis court. The fill depth at Boring #3 is only 4' and
the surface elevation is the highest of the four locations.
We recommend that a 3' subcut be made under the entire basketball court. The
base of this subcut should be surface compacted and any areas that yield
excessively should be removed and replaced with compacted stable material.
The excavation should then be refilled with compacted sand as outlined
previously for the tennis court area. We also recommend that a draintile be
installed in the sand subbase and allowed to drain to a storm sewer manhole or
other suitable outfall. The draintile could consist of perforated PVC pipe
which is filtered with a geotextile. We recommend that the draintile be
installed around the perimeter of the basketball court.
Staff estimates that a 3' subgrade excavation and imported granular fill would
cost approximately $2,000.00 based on the Contract 87 -2 proposal unit prices.
A hardcourt play area facility would cost approximately $2,500 $3,000. The
soil correction would be in addition to the estimated facility cost.
In consideration of the 40' x 40' hardcourt play area, the additional park
space could be utilized for horseshoe pits. The horseshoe pits can withstand
both frost heaving and settlement. The facility program would change for
Walnut Hill Park and other recreational needs could be satisfied.
For Advisory Park Recreation Commission:
Staff has proceeded with the alternative of placing a hardcourt play area in
the park rather than the tennis court facility, for the reasons noted above.
It is also expected that sufficient room will allow for the placement of
horseshoe pits adjacent to the hardcourts.
If the Commission still wishes to proceed with a tennis court at Walnut Hill,
appropriate direction and action will be required.

We are pleased to inform you that we have been allocated $15,000 in funding
for the aeration systems on Fish ($10,000) and Schwanz ($5,000) Lakes.
This money is for either; the development of portable aeration systems, or
application towards the development and installation of more permanent
types of aeration.
I will want to meet with you soon to discuss the types of aeration systems
which will best meet our needs, and to discuss the details that need to be
worked out before proceeding with both projects.
Since we were unable to obtain sufficient funding for the pier on Fish Lake
this fiscal year, you may choose to resubmit a C.O.R.E. application for
consideration in fiscal year 1989.
If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to call. Otherwise I
will be in touch with you shortly.

Dear Roger,
As you are probably aware, Eagan Athletic Association provides a
broad range of youth sports programs for all residents in the city
of Eagan regardless of school district. I'm writing to you on
behalf of the association to express our concern that youth sports
programs be given an appropriate voice and priority in the city's
long -range planning efforts.
I recently spoke to Ken Vraa about this issue and the need for
better coordination and communication between the city and the
athletic association in our respective planning activities. Ken was
enthusiastic about the possibilities of a working relationship in
this area and suggested that I contact you directly.
The association has just begun the preparation of a new five year
strategic planning process. I am heading the committee to develop
this plan and would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to
discuss our mutual interest in this topic. Please give me a call at
828 -2880 (day) or 452 -6518 (evening) so we may arrange a convenient
time to get together.

Enclosed is a letter to the editor, EAGAN CHRONICLE June 10,1987,
a thank you letter to those who helped with the annual patrol
picnic. I also, say thanks to those who sponsored, helped, and
made donations to make the picnic a success. These young people do
an excellent job in maintaining the safety of the other students.
I write this letter as a question to you and the city council, why
is it that the patrols from the five schools located in Eagan had
to go to another communities facility to hold their function? A
community the size of Eagan should have some facility to handle
large functions. I know of a couple organizations that have to
leave the community to hold their functions. An example, your
community's hockey association, Eagan Hockey Association, had to
go to the Majestic Ballroom in Cottage Grove to hold their annual
Awards Potluck and Meeting and an insurance company located in
Eagan has to go to Bloomington to hold their annual employee
meeting. I am sure there are more.
With the comming of a High School, which will be located in the
community, a facility such as a community center, which could
include an ice arena, gymnasium, swimming pool, meeting rooms,
etc, would almost seem to be a necessity to handle school events,
community events, or even local organizational gatherings. May I
quote a statement from the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan, as one
of its goals is to "develop as much of a self reliant community as
possible wherein employment, recreational services, commericial
services and community facilities for most of the needs of the
residents will be provided within the community." Smaller
communities have these facilities. Eagan, growing as it is, needs
a facility which will cater to special intrest groups, the general
populace, the young, the senior citizens and even those of us in
the middle (middle age). Lets keep our residents in the community
and not have them go to surrounding communities to hold their
functions, skate, swim, have meetings etc. Whats exciting about a

community center is, local sport groups could sponsor tournaments,
local organizations have mini conventions, trade shows etc, the
list could go on and on. There would be a common theme to all
these activities, people and revenue comming into the community.
Please, take the time and look at the benefits that could result
from a community center. Eagan needs one!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for
taking the time and considering some of these thoughts to help
make our community a better place.

SUBJECT: PRELIMINAN PLAT (OAK CLIFF POND 2ND ADDN)
APPLICANT: BRUTGER COMPANIES, INC
LOCATION: NW 1/4, SECTION 31
EXISTING ZONING: R -1 WITHIN WINKLER JACKSON PD (82 -3)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 28, 1987
DATE OF REPORT: JULY 23, 1987
REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING
APPLICATION: An application has been submitted requesting a
Preliminary Plat for the Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition consisting of
33 owner occupied detached townhouse units on Outlot Bof,the
Winkler Jackson Planned Development. This site contains '9 -acres
immediately west of the similar 1st Addition that received
Preliminary plat approval in June 1987 for 42 units.
The original Planned Development Agreement called for a maximum 311
units on the west side of Slater Road. When the single family Oak
Cliff Addition was approved in 1984, that number was amended to 231
units. Since then, rezonings and plats reduced the total number of
units on Outlots B and C to 135 units on the 22 acres (6.3
units/acre).
Oak Cliff Pond Additions will be the final residential areal on the
west side of Slater Road to develop with another reduction in units
from a possible 135 to 75 the total number of housing units on the
west side of Slater road to 159.
SITE PLAN: The existing vegetation consists of mature native
hardwood trees and understory plant material. In an effort to save
as many trees as possible, the developer will only grade the :,streets
with the typical large .earth moving equipment. The lots will then
be graded individually with smaller equipment such as a back -hoe.
Retaining walls will be constructed if necessary and the building
style will match the site as close as possible. Four building
designs will be used the footprint on the site plan is shown only
to demonstrate building setbacks and grading feasibility. All
building and parking setbacks meet Code requirements.
The 50' buffer area along the Burnsville /Eagan border that was
discussed with the 1st Addition has been defined on the 2nd Addition
plan. Staff recmmends that temporary fencing be installed prior` to
any grading through the home building process to eliminate any
chance of unnecessary tree loss. The proposed walk trail in that
area will be soft surfaced so it can meander between the existing
trees.
An association will control common areas, exterior
maintenance and trash pick -up.
GRADING /DRAINAGE /EROSION CONTROL: The proposed site consists of
wooded sloping topography with elevation differentials of
approximately 70' The low point (El. 920) of this site is the
normal water level of the easterly adjacent pond designated as Pond
AP -10 in the City of Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. The
high point of this site is along the westerly property line with an
existing elevation of about 990.
The proposed grading plan attempts to maintain a 45' to 1 0' Wide
buffer along the westerly side of Pond AP -10. The development is
proposing to disturb the entire area south of the northerly property
line and northerly of the pond. The development is also proposing
undisturbed areas along its southerly boundary, adjacent to the
single family Oak Cliff 4th Addition development. Also, the
development is proposing to leave a :buffer
between the development and residences of the River Woods 'singl e
family residential area in the city of Burnsville. The ap ;Licaht
has expressed to staff that they're very sympathetic to the o iimulg
conditions in Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition. Their proposed grattln9
is basically limited at this time to the grading required :to
construct the private street system within the development The
applicant has expressed the fact that the individual housing, units
are to be designed to fit the existing topography of the particular
lot. As a result, staff will have an opportunity to review the lot
grading on a per lot basis through the building permit process.
Staff has determined that Lot 1, Block 4, as proposed, results
nonbuildable lot. In addition to the proposed lot being heavi
wooded, the lot will require 6 -16' of fill plus a retaining wall.
The balance of the fill section sloping down to Pond AP -10, ex
the maximum allowable 3:1 slope. In addition to Lot 1, Block 4,
exceeding the maximum allowable 3:1 slope criteria, Lots 1 and 2 of
Block 5, along with the proposed slope being constructed as a result
of the entrance along the northerly side of the property, result in
slopes down to Pond AP -10 in the area of 2 :1 instead of the 3t1
maximum allowed. The storm water runoff ,generated from the proposed
site is intercepted by an internal storm sewer system and discharges
into Pond AP -10 in four different locations. The development shall
be responsible for revising the proposed storm sewer system to
minimize the proposed number of outlets into Pond AP -10. The
development shall also be responsible for providing the necesssary
storm sewer outlets for Mary Mother of the Church and the proposed
Cliff Road Shoppes development.
No erosion and sediment control plan was submitted w h 'the
preliminary plat application. Staff recommends that an erosion and
sediment control plan, including both site map and narrative that
meets the requirements of the general criteria, be submitted and
approved by staff prior to the issuance of a grading permit or final
plat approval.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient
capacity and depth have been stubbed to the proposed site fx
existing facilities in Slater Road.

REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING
APPLICATION: An application has been submitted requesting a
Preliminary Plat for t e BBD 2nd Addition. This plat consists, of
mediately north of the 1st Addition on the
man and Yankee Doodle Roads.
This proposal is for a self service car wash on Lot-1 (.92 acres
and a 12,600 SF office/day care building on Lot 2 (1.53 acres).
Code does not specifically list car washes in Neighborhood districts
but does allow automobile service stations subject to a number of
conditions. Gas pumps and two service bays were approved with the
1st Addition without car wash capabilities. Two Conditional Lse
Permit conditions for auto service are important to t his
application:
Neighborhood Business
Conditional Uses Item 3 Automobile Service Stations
(b) The opening of any service station shall follow and not
precede the construction and occupancy of a minimum of 10,000
sq. ft. of retail shopp,ng center floor space.
(c) The opening of any service station shall provide service bays
for minor repairs or service only and shall be designed to
serve adjoining residents and not transients.
The 14,000 SF strip center will open this fall, and the 8 bay, 3,70Q
SF car wash has a lot coverage of 9% in a 20% district. The intent
is to provide service for this heavily zoned multiple area.
Code only allows car washes as permitted uses in GB districts and as
a Conditional Use in CSC, RB and RSC districts. Therefore, a
Rezoning or an Amendment to allow car washes as a Conditional Use in
NB districts will be necessary.

(c) The opening of any service station shall provide service bays
for minor repairs or service only and shall be designed to
serve adjoining residents and not transients.
The 14,000 SF strip center will open this fall, and the 8 bay, 3,700
SF car wash has a lot coverage of 9% in a 20% district. The intent
is to provide service for this heavily zoned multiple area.
Code only allows car washes as permitted uses in GB districts and as
a Conditional Use in CSC, RB and RSC districts. Therefore, a
Rezoning or an Amendment to allow car washes as a Conditional Use in
NB districts will be necessary.
33
Code does not list day care facilities as Permitted or Conditional
Uses. There is a day care facility in the NB zoned Hilltop
Addition. For that location, the. Council approved a Conditional Use
Permit determining that the use was similar and compatible with
other NB uses. The 1st Addition submission listed this area as a
potential day care location:
SITE PLAN: Two additional shared driveways serve these two lots.
The 24' drive lane, no parking area along Coachman Road will be
maintained. A landscape plan for both lots was submitted and ties
in well with the previous proposal on a preliminary basis. 'All
Landscape Policy requirements have been met and all setbacks /lot
coverages meet Code requirements.
LOT 1 CAR WASH: Access to the wash bays will be from the east or
rear side of the building with the exit drying area on the west.
This will help eliminate potential freeze /thaw problems in the
winter. The building will also have blow dryers. The exit 'area
will be striped visually separating the drying area from the drive
lane. Three vacuum islands are provided near the eastern portion of
the lot.
Free flowing movement for the entire length between the convenience
center and car wash lots will be provided but not between the car
wash and office building /day care where movement will be limited to
the drive lane along Coachman Road.
All trash will be contained within the 4 -sided same exterior finish
building. Staff recommends a solid brick exterior to match' the
center.
The proposed hours of operation shall be 7 :00 a.m. 10:30 p.
LOT 2 OFFICE /DAY CARE: The proposed one -story 12,600 sq.ft.
building would be split with 7,600 sq. ft. for office and 5,000 sq.
ft. for a day care facility next to Coachman Park. 40 10' -wide
parking stalls have been provided for the office building (Code
requires 40) and an additional 20 will be provided for the day care
(60 total). The stalls on the south side of the building should be
moved to line up with those on the perimeter of the site, and the 14
along the eastern property line should be designated for employee
use so those in front of the building are more available to the
public.
The trash has been enclosed within the building. Building
elevations will not be completed until users have been determined.
The applicant is aware that roof top fan units shall not be visable.
GRADING /DRAINAGE /EROSION CONTROL: The proposed grading plan
provides for a 3' high retaining wall along the parking area on the
easterly side of the building on Lot 2. Staff advises against the
use of retaining walls where feasible and recommends obtaining slope
easements from the adjacent property owner. The remaining site
grading required on the site is minimal.
Existing storm sewer, adequately sized to serve this developnt,.is
readily available in the southwesterly corner the site. The
development proposes to intercept the run off generated by the site
by an internal storm sewer system and convey the runoff to the
existing storm sewer facility.
Staff recommends the addition of two catch basins. One is to be
located at the end radius on Coachman Road on the upstream. side of
the entrance road and the other located in the southwest corner of
the parking lot which serves the building on Lot 2.
An erosion and sediment control plan acceptable to staff is required
prior to building permit and grading permit issuance.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, depth, and capacity
exist along the easterly right -of -way of Coachman Road. The
development proposes to connect to the existing manholes. This will
not be allowed. New connections directly into the sanitary sewer
main will be required.
An 8" water main stub from the existing 18" water main in Coachman
Road has been provided. The development is required to provide an
8" water main along the westerly side of Lot 1, Then continue
easterly along the common lot line of Lots 1 and 2 to the easterly
line of the proposed development. The easterly extension is
required to serve the easterly adjacent property. The proposed lots
can then take their service from this 8" water main.
STREETS /ACCESS /CIRCULATION: Access to the site is provided from
Coachman Road. The proposed driveway location is required to be
located opposite the existing drive on the west side of Coachman
Road. The development is proposing the proper width driveway with
acceptable curb return radii. The development shall be responsible
for constructing concrete valley across the two driveway locations.
Adequate turning radiuses are provided for unimpeded tra
circulation.
RIGHT WAY /EASEMENTS /PERMITS: The proper right -of -way width for
Coachman Road and Yankee Doodle. Road was provided for with the BBD
Addition.
A 20' easement is required for the proposed water main extension
through the property. Additional sanitary sewer easement is
required for the existing sanitary sewer along the westerly side of
the development.
This development shall be responsible for the acquisition of all
regulatory agency permits in the time frame required by the affected
agency.
This proposed development should assume its proportionate share of
the pending assessments against the underlying parent parcel fox the
upgrading of Yankee Doodle Road under Project 427.

SUBJECT: REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, VARIANCE
(STONEY POINT ADDITION)
APPLICANT: MERITOR DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
LOCATION: SE 1/4, SECTION 16
EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 28, 1987
DATE OF REPORT: JULY 21, 1987
REPORTED BY: PLANNING ENGINEERING
APPLICATION: Separate applications have been submitted requesting
a Rezoning of 27.3 Agricultural acres to an R -1 (Single Family)
district and a PreliJairry Plat for the Stoney Point Addition. This
plat containing 78 lots east of the Blackhawk Glen Additions and
west of Hwy. 35E is in conformance with the January 1987 Land Use
Plan that designates this area as Residential D -II (0 -6 units /acre).
LAND USE: This development abutts agricultural land to the north
and undeveloped R -3 and R -4 parcels within the Blackhawk Park P.D.
also owned by Meritor Corporation. Sienna Corporation owns the R -1
property to the SW of the subject site (Blackhawk Hills).
The topography is rolling with knolls and depressions. The existing
vegetation is primarily young to medium in age consisting mostly of
elm, cottonwood and poplar often found in the low lying areas.
SITE PLAN /CODE CONFORMANCE: This proposal is for 78 lots varying in
size from 9,375 SF to 49,300 SF averaging 13,900 SF. The gross
density is 2.48 units /acre and the net density is 2.85 units /acre.
The minimum lot width is 75',, similar to the Blackhawk Glen
Additions to the west. That preliminary plat was approved for 111
lots in 1985 with 97 deviating from R -1 standards. The 1st and 2nd
Additions containing 70 lots have been final platted and the
following is a comparison of those additions and the proposed Stoney
Point Addition.

Meritor Development will have one builder, J.B. Franklin, construct
all of the homes but keep architectural control. All homes will
have cedar siding and at least one tree per unit. This will help
establish a more unified streetscape than in other small lot
subdivisions.
No variances from setback requirements have been requested for this
single phased proposal.
GRAINAGE /DRAINAGE /EROSION CONTROL: The topography on this site is
rolling and generally slopes to Pond JP -5. Pond JP -5 is designated
in the City of Eagan Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. The proposed
street grades are in accordance with City of Eagan standards,
however, the maximum allowable street grade of 8% is proposed at
three different locations. In an attempt to minimize the proposed
8% street grades, staff advises the developer to consider lowering
the street grades in the southeasterly and westerly part of the
plat. Placing this excess material in the northeasterly cul -de -sac
and the street located southerly from the northeasterly cul -de -sac
where filling could be done will the proposed 8% street
grades in those two locations.
The proposed grading plan complies with the maximum allowable 3:1
slope criteria.
The drainage on the site is being conveyed by storm sewer to Pond
JP -5. The proposed development is identified in the Comprehensive
Storm Sewer Plan as being tributary to Pond JP -5. The outlet pipe
for Pond JP -5 however needs to be extended from Federal Drive. This
required outlet pipe extension shall be the responsibility of this
development.
The submitted preliminary grading plan adequately covers the general
criteria required in an erosion and sediment control plan.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth
exists through the center of this site. Relocation of the sewer in
Lots 4 and 5, Block 4 is proposed in order to accommodate proposed
lot lines in the street alignment. It is recommended that a portion
of the existing sanitary sewer in Lot 14, Block 1 also be relocated
to conform with the proposed lot lines.
The existing 8" water main at the southwesterly corner of the site
is proposed to be extended through the site. The 30" trunk water
.main which exists at the northwesterly corner of this site will be
extended a short distance into this site in anticipation of future
extension. The 30" trunk water main was anticipated being
constructed along the north line of this site in the future roadway.
However, because this development is not proposing a roadway along
this northerly line, the 30" trunk water main will have to be
extended northerly to Violet Lane and then easterly along Violet
Lane to Federal Drive. Ultimately the 30" trunk main will cross
I -35E and connect to the existing 30" main at Duckwood Drive and
Pilot Knob Road. This development shall extend the water main in
Federal Drive serving the northeasterly cul -de -sac to the north line
of this site which will ultimately connect to the existing water
main in Violet Lane.
STREET CIRCULATION /SIDEWALK: This site will be served by Blackhawk
Hills Road and Federal Drive. Both Blackhawk Hills Road and Federal
Drive were recently upgraded as a part of the I -35E construction.
Also as a part of the upgrading of Federal Drive it was anticipated
a roadway would be constructed along the north line of this site.
Therefore, a 44' wide street opening with curb returns was provided.
The development will be responsible for removing the street opening
and constructing concrete curb and gutter as required.
Pacific Avenue located in Hampton Heights is proposed to be extended
a short distance along the north line of this plat. This extension
will require an easement from the property to the north because the
centerline of Pacific Avenue is located along the northerly line of
the property. Street right -of -way within this development is 60'.
Therefore, the street surface will be required to be 32' wide, face
of curb to face of curb. Consideration should also be given to
extending the existing sidewalk located on the east side of Federal
Drive at the north line of this plat along this development's east
and south side abutting Federal Drive and Blackhawk Hills Road.
EASEMENTS /RIGHT -OF- WAYS /PERMITS: The proper right -of -way width for
Federal Drive and Blackhawk Hills Road has been previously
dedicated.
In addition to the common lot line drainage and utility easements,
additional easements along the common lot line shall be dedicated of
sufficient width to accommodate utility extensions as required with
the final approved plans and specifications. This development shall
be responsible for dedicating the required ponding easement for Pond
JP -5 which incorporates the proposed high water elevation in
accordance with the City of Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan.
All regulatory agency permits shall be acquired within the
appropriate time frame as required by the affected agency.
ASSESSMENTS: The proposed site has been assessed for sanitary sewer
trunk and storm sewer trunk facilities under Project #58 and #279

acre or so of hardwood trees just north of the existing 3 -acre
homestead to the south. Except for the R -1 Kings Wood Addition
along Pilot Knob Road to the north, all adjacent land uses are
agricultural including the homestead that has a direct driveway
onto Pilot Knob Road. This proposal eliminates that driveway with
access onto the street 'A' cul -de -sac.
Street 'A', the main access to this site, matches Rocky Lane on the
east side of Pilot Knob Road. Road stubs to adjacent property have
been provided and the applicant submitted a conceptual development
plan onl to ensure that those areas could be serviced by roads and
utilities. Those areas are owned by other people than the
applicant.
This plat consists of the 17 lots, Outlot 'A' (1.35 acres) that will
be developed as the 2nd Addition when Street 'A' and 'C' connect
providing public access to four more lots; and Outlot 'B' (.04
acres)• that will be incorporated into the King's Addition when that
area develops.
Lot 6, Block 1, the stove pipe lot, meets
street requirement and all other lots are at
setback line. Lot sizes vary between 12,000
gross density is 2.2 units /acre and the
units /acre. No individual lot variances have
the 50' width at the
least 85' wide at the
SF and 26,685 SF. The
net density is 2.8
been requested.
GRADING /DRAINAGE /EROSION CONTROL: The proposed grading plan provides for
street grades in accordance with City of Eagan standards. The
proposed streets generally conform to the existing contour of the
land. The proposed grading plan complies with the City's maximum
allowable 3:1 slope criteria. The developer will need to
incorporate into his grading plan the future design grade for Pilot
Knob Road.
Drainage on this site is proposed to be conveyed by storm sewer to
the northerly end of street "C From this point, the storm sewer
will be extended northwesterly outside the plat boundary connecting
to either the existing storm sewer in I -35E or be extended along the
easterly right -of -way line of I -35E to Pond JP -5. Presently, MnDot
is reviewing the proposed storm sewer connection to the I -35E storm
sewer. Their review will evaluate if 16.5 acres of runoff from
Cutter's Ridge can be accommodated in their storm sewer system.
The easements required to extend the storm sewer beyond the plat
boundaries shall be the responsibility of this development.
It is recommended that storm sewer be extended southerly between
Lots 6 and 7, Block 3, to the back lot line to intercept backyard
drainage. It is further recommended this storm sewer be continued
southerly between Lot 12, Block 3, and Outlot A to the westerly end
of street "A This southerly extension of the storm sewer is
required to intercept approximately 400' of street runoff which the
development proposes to intercept in the backyard area of Lots 3 and
4, Block 3. However, even though the runoff from the westerly
terminus of street "A" is being intercepted by the southerly
extension of a storm sewer between Lot 12, Block 3, and Outlot A,
the proposed storm sewer between Lots 3 and 4, Block 3 w i l l still
be required to intercept backyard drainage.
The erosion and sediment control plan which was submitted with this
application was incomplete and requires revisions. A major concern
in this project area is the impact which the runoff will have on
Blackhawk Lake. Consideration should be given to design Pond JP -5
as a sediment basin. This sediment basin would serve as a storm
water runoff treatment pond prior to its discharge into Blackhawk
Lake.
UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer to serve this site will be provided by an
existing 8" sanitary sewer stubbed beneath I -35E. This existing 8"
stub is approximately 800' north of the proposed development. The
development has petitioned the City for the necessary trunk facility
installation to serve the proposed development. The easements
required to extend the sanitary sewer beyond the plat boundaries
shall be the responsibility of this development. The development
shall bear the responsibility of providing sanitary sewer extensions
to its westerly and southerly boundaries adequately designed to
serve the adjacent properties.
Water service will be provided by the existing 16" trunk water main
in Pilot Knob Road. It is recommended the water main in street "A
from Pilot Knob Road to street "B along street "B" and thence
southerly from street "B" in street "C be a 12" diameter water
main. The 12" water main is required to provide the proper water
-5-1
supply to the future Deerwood reservoir. This development will be
served by only one source of water until future development occurs
either north or south.
STREETS /ACCESS /CIRCULATION: One access to this site is proposed
at its northeasterly corner from Pilot Knob Road. The proposed
connection of street "A" to Pilot Knob Road shall comply with the
future upgrading of Pilot Knob Road based on its ultimate width and
grade. The width of Pilot Knob Road abutting this site is a 64'
wide roadway with an 8' wide bituminous trail on the west side
separated by an 8' wide boulevard area. Street "C" is stubbed to
the north and south while street "A" is stubbed to the west in
anticipation of being extended in the future. Temporary cul -de -sacs
shall be required at the southerly and northerly end of street "C"
and at the westerly end of street "A Staff recommends that
the lots adjacent to the proposed temporary cul -de -sac be platted as
outlots until such a time when the temporary cul -de -sacs are removed
and the streets extended. Minimum allowable street right -of -way
width is 60', therefore, a 32' (face -to -face) wide street surface is
required.
Relative to street layout, consideration should be given to
extending street "B" westerly to the plat's west line. This
extension will provide more flexibility in developing the property
to the west by not creating a large triangular shaped parcel between
the proposed development and I -35E.
EASEMENTS /RIGHT -OF- WAY /PERMITS: This development shall be
responsible for dedicating a 60' half right -of -way for Pilot Knob
Road and the construction easements necessary for upgrading of Pilot
Knob Road in accordance with Dakota County Highway Department
recommendations. This development is also responsible for costs
associated with easement acquisition for sanitary sewer and storm
sewer extensions beyond its plat boundaries.
In addition to the common lot line drainage and utility easements,
additional easements of sufficient width to accommodate the storm
sewer extension between street "B" and street "A" shall be provided
based on final approved plans and specifications. Also, all
easements necessary to construct the required temporary cul -de -sacs
outside the boundaries of this development shall be acquired prior
to final plat approval.
All regulatory agency permits shall be acquired within the
appropriate time frame as required by the affected agency.
The proposed development is subject to the following pending
assessments for the upgrading of Pilot Knob Road under Project 466.
