Market Dates tentatively are Wednesdays, June 30 through September 15 • Work on the new Central Park/Festival Grounds pavilion has been put on hold until early spring. All soil modifications, base preparation and the installation of sewer and water have been completed. • Family Activity Night at the ECC (FANtastic Saturdays) has brought over 260 people in for play time in the gym, Blast, movies and games between November 28 and January 2n SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • Cascade Bay summer positions have been posted and applications are coming in. • Civic Arena will host a "sport stacking" regional tournament on March 6 Competitors from several states will be in attendance and staff is working with the ECVB to promote all that Eagan has to offer during their stay. • Eagan Hockey association hosted a 16 team tournament on New Year's Eve weekend and the Eastview Hockey association hosed a 16 team tournament in mid - December. • Contractors have nearly completed a detailed energy analysis of a number of City buildings including the ECC. Improvements and modifications will be made using a Federal Stimulus grant intended for energy conservation initiatives. • The holidays have produced a slew of newly engaged couples. The ECC is now booking for summer 2011, as the summer 2010 dates are all taken. STRENGTHEN SAFETY AND SECURITY • Even with the cold weather, be aware that ice conditions can be unpredictable. Most ponds are part of the storm water system through which water constantly moves. Ice depth can also be affected by vegetation, especially in the shallows, watch for holes left by ice fishermen. The City does not monitor ice depth. PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS • There are 111 teams participating in Winter sports. Spring- Summer sports for information will be going out at the end of January. • The snow conditions and heavy use at the Trapp Farm tubing hill have made for great tubing. Staff has had to "rough -up" the snow on the hill and create a berm at the bottom of the hill to help the tubes slow down. • Civic Arena had almost record public skating attendance on January 3r — 191 skaters! • The ice rink are in great shape, use has slowed somewhat due to the extreme cold but was very high during the holiday break. • Work on clearing boulevard trails has been very slow due to the hard compacted snow and ice, the Street Department has primary responsibility for the program. Trails in Central Park are included. Park sites are generally cleared only if they are associated with facilities that have scheduled activities. • 110, 30 -day fitness passes were sold during the month of December 3 • January fitness membership promotion at the ECC with a $1.50 enrollment fee to highlight Eagan's 150 anniversary has resulted in 127 new members through January 8. • Mission: POSSIBLE, a 12 -week weight loss challenge, will begin at the ECC in February. There is a lot of interest already from individuals and businesses eager to challenge each other. PROTECT ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES • Civic Arena is continuing to research a Geothermal energy project at the Civic Arena. • The Department has been awarded an $89,000 State grant to implement an Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) control program in 2010. The program will include injections, selective removals and replacement of Ash trees in high priority areas of the City. Eagan was one of the very few Cities statewide that received the entire amount it applied for. At best, EAB can be contained not eliminated. • The City received notice that it passed an environmental compliance inspection on the Anderson property (Part of Patrick Eagan). The inspections are a stipulation of the County grant used by the City for the acquisition. Additional properties will also be inspected. FACILITATE COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS • The recreation departments of Eagan, Apple Valley and Lakeville are collaborating for the first time on the Little Sweetheart Dance that Eagan, previously hosted solely by Eagan, to reach out to more residents, share staff, resources and costs associated with the event. Each year the location will rotate with Apple Valley hosting this year. The theme is "Fairy Fantasy" with girls 2 — 13 attending with their dads, grandfathers, uncles or male role model. Girls will be transformed into fairy princesses along with a special dedication dance, DJ, activities and a photo keepsake. It's an annual tradition that local girls look forward to each year.

Photo Simulation VI -A; CLEARWIRE — NORTHVIEW PARK CELL TOWER ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION ITEM OVERVIEW: Clearwire Legacy LLC is proposing to install a wireless data transmission mono -pole on City property in Northview Park. The installation will require the leasing and subsequent modification of a small section of park land. Input on the terms and conditions in the lease specific to use of the park is being requested . BACKGROUND/HISTORY: With the rapid growth, competition and reliance upon the wireless industry, service providers are constantly required to expand and enhance their services. To this end, providers are using a variety of non - traditional sites and to locate and support antennas and the associated equipment, especially in urbanized settings. The City of Eagan currently has nearly thirty leases with wireless providers for the co- location of antennas and equipment at City owned sites throughout the community. Most are associated with water reservoirs though there are several leases for ground space at parks including O'Leary and on the Highline trail. With there being fewer options for co- location, the installation of free standing tower and poles is becoming a more common alternative. Lease fees are collected for each installation. The general administration of the lease application process and collection of the associated application fees is the responsibility of the City Utility Department. Pending approval of the application, leases are subsequently negotiated by the City Attorney with final approval given by the City Council. A consultant reviews the technical aspects of any new installation. Whenever the proposed location is within a park, park staff and the APrC are asked to provide input regarding terms and conditions of the lease and other related agreements. Community Development reviews the site and construction plans and processes the required zoning approvals and building permits. 5 Planning Report: Proposal Clearwire is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for construction of a new "stealth" communications tower at Northview Park. In addition to the Conditional Use Permit, the City also will be entering into a lease with Clearwire for the placement of equipment upon City property. The 100 -foot monopole also will be designed to hold stadium lights for the tennis courts, and Clearwire proposes to install a second pole approximately 65 feet in height just for stadium lights at the east end of this set of three tennis courts. The Site Plan shows the proposed 100 -foot tower within a 10' x 20' leased area adjacent to the northwest comer of the westerly set of three tennis courts. Access to the leased area will be from the existing asphalt path north of the tennis courts. A new 10 -foot wide drive to the lease area will be paved with asphalt. The lease area will be enclosed with a chain link fence. Ground equipment will be located within a cabinet placed on a new 3' x 6' concrete slab next to the tower, all within the lease area. The equipment cabinet is approximately 2 feet square and 4.5 feet in height. Existing Conditions The site is a City park and contains ball fields, soccer fields, tennis courts and parking lots. Vehicle access to the park is provided from Northview Park Road to the north. The southwest corner of the park is wooded. To the east and south are Eagan High School/Dakota Hills Middle School, and Northview Elementary School. To the north and west are residential neighborhoods. Other stadium lights and utility poles are present within the park. Applicant's Narrative Clearwire indicates they were unable to obtain a suitable co- location or building mounted site. Clearwire approached ISD 196 for installation on one of the adjacent school properties, and the school district declined. Because their system requires line -of -sight between installations, and the dishes must be mounted to a structure with the least twist -and -sway to eliminate connection interruptions, Clearwire indicates this is the only available site within their search area, and a new tower is necessary to meet their technical performance needs and provide coverage in this area. ANALYSIS Clearwire is proposing to install a wireless data transmission monopole, approximately 100'tall in Northview Park (NV), adjacent to the westerly tennis courts. A second monopole is proposed for the Municipal Center campus. The NV installation would require the construction of a small service enclosure at the base of the tower for the control equipment and a short paved drive extending from an existing park trail for service and maintenance. The proposed location is isolated thus the functional impact on the park and would be very minimal. Because of the height of the pole, there may be some visual intrusion however the location is surrounded by tall mature trees, a factor that when combined with the change in grade will serve to negate the impacts. A potentially unique feature of this installation would be the opportunity to light the three adjacent tennis courts by mounting light fixtures on the new tower as well as on a separate, much shorter, free standing pole on the opposite side of the court. Power for the second pole could easily be drawn from the primary pole. Installation of tennis court lights at NV has been carried forward as a project in the APrC, CIP "Parking Lot" for a number of years. The value of the lighting would need to be considered in determining the lease fee for the use of the park site. DISCUSSION/EVALUATION: Last fall, the APrC reviewed the concept in a workshop setting and by consensus agreed that the project should be pursued further. Subsequently, working on a parallel track, Community Development initiated the application process for obtaining a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the project. This will necessitate notifying adjoining landowners and obtaining Council approval. The CUP is made necessary by the construction of a new pole. The APrC is now being asked to make a recommendation regarding the potential terms and conditions specific to the park to be included in the lease. Staff has reviewed the proposal and prior leases and developed the following list (in no particular order) for reference and review in anticipation of inclusion in the lease. The final terms and conditions are subject to approval of the City Attorney and Council and as negotiated with the Lessee; Proposed The Lessee or his designees shall (during the term of the lease); 1. Promptly repair or restore any and all damage to existing vegetation or grounds caused by the construction or operation of the facility and return it to the original condition as approved by the City. 2. Adhere to applicable City building and property management codes. 3. Prepare and implement a landscape plan using materials consistent with the site that will buffer the fenced enclosure, said plan to be approved by the City prior to implementation. 4. Maintain the grounds and plant materials within the lease area, maintenance shall include but not be limited to the removal of trash and debris from within the enclosure, the upkeep of the enclosure fencing and replacement of dead or dying plant materials. 5. Construct a paved driveway access to the enclosure, location to be approved by the City 6. Follow required erosion control measures during construction and implement control measures as requested by the City to minimize the impact of runoff on surrounding amenities. 7. Maintain the access driveway in a condition appropriate for use of the lessee 8. Repair any damage caused by construction or maintenance equipment to any existing City bituminous trail within the park when such trail has been used by the Lessee or an agent thereof to access the lease area during the life of the lease. Said repairs may include but are not limited to overlaying, reconstruction or patching as determined appropriate by the City. 9. Plow the trail and access road within the lease area for winter access if required by the Lessee. 10. Provide appropriate signage, including restrictions on the use of the access driveway 11. Replace/ repair any damage to the concrete disc golf tee located adjacent to the lease area, provide a temporary tee area as may be required during construction 12. Replace /repair any damage to the adjacent tennis court surfaces or fencing caused by construction or maintenance activities related to the project 13. Not hinder public use of the park, park activities or the trail 14. Obtain prior City approval for any construction or maintenance activity that may require exceeding the bounds of the lease or closure of any portion of the park, tennis courts or trail. 15. Install professional grade tennis court lights on the new monopole and on a shorter freestanding pole to be installed at the SE corner of the court area. The light levels shall average a minimum of 30 foot - candles over the 3 courts. The fixture configuration, product and control system must be approved by the City prior to installation. 16. Provide the City with a construction and maintenance schedule 17. Should the Lessee desire to discontinue the lease, the Lessee shall be responsible for the prompt removal of the monopole and related equipment, and restoration of the site. If the pole is removed by the Lessee, the existing tennis court light fixtures on the monopole are to be installed on freestanding light pole in the same location. '7 18. Should the City at any time express in writing a willingness to accept ownership of the monopole a separate negotiation shall take place. 19. The Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of all related utilities during the term of the lease except that a separate meter may be installed for the court lights and the cost of electricity for said lights becomes the responsibility of the City. Staff will work with the Finance Department, Planning Department and City Attorney to develop a lease compensation schedule appropriate for this installation. Similar ground space leases are generally in the range of $5900 per year. Proceeds from leases are coded to a City revenue account and used to supplement a variety of City programs and facilities including Holz Farm and the Community Center. The installation of lighting for the tennis courts could also be considered as compensation in lieu of full cash payment. ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: 1. Recommend that the City enter into negotiations for a lease with Clearwire for ground space in Northview Park and the subsequent installation of a data- transmission monopole, the terms and conditions stated in this report to be considered for inclusion. 2. Recommend negotiations with additional or modified terms and conditions 3. Recommend that there be no negotiations for the lease of ground space Location Map vA OMEnninntnla T INA a i l ESZIED rP - Ell Emu MI ■iJ Aim u lift 1� '� .ii. v vE` �� �® � Era low F u o' r. � PM o� `' ical lion r„ tai do ■���� rsi� n a�fiLJ ♦ a "7,4 1 xsrn��' � • r 1 1 411116 4tt* e , ��,, : emu oC MIN = • <� -4L owl a� �l Imo] min _ 3E ME o 0,40 ,^� p 4., mil cis% �1 r Bra '-il En ErBil1AEBII ■ I lalliILAAQ- 1.• ME S a 1'• . gy p ell" tilf_ m ai. 0,....st_litIlifFnlopfelil1:?10644.,.."el E t CM -um usi km t� F1 r 111P / � v� raga iii1 trAt:J a L F J r4 �■ i .r are rsa EMU rata u_ :rsa77r r] r ta eOl 40,311 6tOtLr 1000 0 ;n,PpAI 16 TH -- (7tJ L 1 41 giil.

As part of a multi -year network build -out plan, Clearwire's 4G service, called CLEARTM, will be available in major metropolitan areas across the U.S., and bring together an unprecedented combination of speed and mobility. Clearwire's open all -IP network, combined with significant spectrum holdings, provides unmatched network capacity to deliver next - generation broadband access. Strategic investors include Intel Capital, Comcast, Sprint, Google, Time Warner Cable, and Bright House Networks. Clearwire currently provides 4G service, utilizing WiMAX Unlike other wireless services, CLEAR delivers a mobile broadband Internet experience on par with speeds typically experienced only on wired connections, like DSL. CLEAR customers can expect to see average download speeds of 3 to 6 mbps with bursts over 10 mbps. The CLEAR customer experience is similar to that provided by Wi -Fi, but without the short range limitations of a traditional hotspot. CLEAR uses a 4G technology that differs from Wi -Fi called WiMAX, which provides service areas measured in miles, not feet. In these markets, the Clearwire network utilizes an area -wide WiMAX radio system from Motorola. With this type of service it is necessary to have antenna locations in closer proximity to each other than is necessary for a wireless telecommunication provider. Clearwire uses dish antennas that work by line -of -sight and therefore the distance between locations needs to be calculated very carefully to provide the best coverage for their customers. Also, the dishes must be mounted to a structure that will allow for the very least twist-and-sway as to eliminate any connection interruptions. This site was selected as a third choice after being turned down by the school district to either place antennas on the roof of the high school or replace a stadium light with a stealth pole. The surrounding properties are residential homes and therefore would not qualify for a tower placement. Clearwire is proposing to build a 100' stealth light pole and also to provide the city with a regular Tight pole approximately 65' in height for illumination of the Northview Park tennis courts. The ground space will be a fenced lease area of 10' x 20' with Clearwire's equipment and stealth pole in the fenced area. The ground equipment will be placed on a 3' x 6' concrete slab and the combined height of the slab and cabinet will not exceed the city's 5' limit so as to not distract from the natural view of the park. All building material and screening requirements will be that of which will be determined by the City of Eagan.

Clearwire operates between 2496 MHz and 2690 MHz spectrum using 10 MHz channels. Clearwire Network Design is driven by Coverage Target Areas and by High Speed Data Rate (Mbps), our main objective is to achieve the largest Coverage area in the residential and business areas and to deliver the highest data rate levels. Proposed MSPO480 Search Ring Coverage Target is located around the intersection of Wescott Rd and N. Ridge Rd. To meet this objective Clearwire has identify 3 locations, 2 of them failing to secure due to Landlord issues. The proposed location is a raw land installation located on 980 Northview Park Drive. This was the only viable location, recommended by the Lanlord. Clearwire Network System operates at higher frequencies compared to conventional PCS /Cellular carriers. Due to this fact our System is more susceptible to Radio Frequency Signal Attenuation when travelling thru obstructions (trees, buildings, etc), therefore we require to place the antennas well above the obstructions. Also we require having a Line of Sight between the site locations plus a clearance zone for the proper operation of our Microwave links. Based on this, MSP0040 has been proposed at 100 feet. It will serve to connect 1 Microwave Link for the Backhaul Network. Clearwire will comply with all FAA and FCC regulations and applicable standards from all other federal, state, and local laws and regulations. As the applicant for this project, Clearwire will ensure that such installation, repair, operation, upgrading, maintenance and removal of antennas by the wireless HIGH SPEED INTERNET MADE SIMPLE.

Because there was the expectation of high demand the lazy river was added from the beginning to be able to accommodate the anticipated 2000 bather load of the combined pools. Understanding that there would be a high demand from the community there were several policies that were put into place at the very beginning. Some of those included: • Season passes were sold to residents only. • Priority admission was given to season pass holders when the pool was at capacity. • No strollers were allowed into the pool because of space limitations • The pool would close only when the weather was 62 degrees or colder. The first several years Cascade Bay was open the pool was at capacity on a regular basis and there were lines of people waiting to enter. By year five the pool operation was more predictable, the capacity days were less and some of the original policies evolved and changed. • Season passes are now sold to residents and non - residents. • Strollers are now allowed into the park but are kept in a stroller corral. They are still not allowed on the deck. • On days when the pool is at capacity, priority admission is still reserved for season pass holders. POLICY TO BE DISCUSSED: The current closing policy at Cascade Bay requires that the facility can close only when the temperature is 62 degrees or colder or if it is raining hard enough so that the bottom of the pool is not clearly visible. Cascade Bay has the fortunate flexibility to close the park for a half day based on how the facility is staffed. Poor weather conditions in the morning would not preclude the park from opening at 3 p.m. when the afternoon shift arrives or vice versa. The 2009 season was a good indication of why the closing policy should be re- visited. Of the 87 days that Cascade Bay was open there were 27 days when there were fewer than 500 people in the park. Ten of those days had 150 or less in attendance for the day. The minimal cost for opening, closing and staffing Cascade Bay for one day is approximately $5,000.

The feedback from this discussion will be used for any future policy changes that the City Council may want to consider. • Consideration could be given to changing the closing temperature to 65 degrees with the humidity, wind and clouds included as part of the assessment. o Most groups traveling to Cascade Bay currently use the 65 degree minimum threshold when their group attends an outdoor water park so the temperature guideline would more closely match those parameters. • The Campus Facilities Manager could work with Cascade Bay management staff to assess the weather but would be responsible for closing the facility if necessary. • Consideration could be given to closing the pool when there are a minimum number of guests in the waterpark. o Staff could consider options to restrict access to certain areas, guard limited areas or rotate areas of use in order to operate the park with fewer staff when attendance loads are small. QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER • Should the temperature threshold of 62 degrees for Cascade Bay be reconsidered? o Should there be a minimum set as a guideline? • If so, what temperature? o Should there be a minimum set with staff discretion? • If so, what temperature and what level of discretion? o Should there be other weather consideration as part of a guideline? • If so, what other considerations? • Should Cascade Bay be closed when there are a minimum number of guests in the waterpark? o Should there be a minimum set as a guideline? • If so, what would be the minimum attendance to close? o Should there be a minimum with staff discretion? • If so, what would be the minimum attendance and level of discretion? o How could the park remain open with minimum attendance? • Should areas be closed down? • Should areas of use be rotated and how effectively could they be guarded? • Are there other ideas to consider. • Are there other components of this policy that should be re- considered? o If so, what are they?

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS There were no Development Proposals for the Commission to review. OLD BUSINESS There were no Old Business items for the Commission to review. N EW BUS There were no New Business Items for the Commission to review. Cascade Bay Report Director Johnson introduced Mark Vaughn, Campus Facilities Manager who gave a brief overview of the 2009 season for Cascade Bay and an update of what is to come in 2010. Manager Vaughn noted that attendance was down significantly from previous years likely associated to the cold temperatures and recession. Lowering the after 5 pm rates seemed to help admissions. Cascade Bay hired 100 returning and 48 new seasonal employees. Looking ahead to the 2010 season, Cascade Bay will focus on marketing to groups, using Captain C. Breeze to spread the word of what Cascade Bay has to offer inside and outside of the facility, and concentrate on staffing and expenses. Member Goff asked what some of the turf activities were, that would be combined with the water park. Manager Vaughan explained the indoor turf is only available up to about June 15 and hosts arena softball and the indoor playground. Member Belfori asked if there is a way staffing costs could be minimized by weather related predictions within our policy. Manager Vaughan answered that the policies do need to be re- visited. Member Goff asked if a target market has been made to supporting tournaments coming into Eagan such as Softball and Rugby to try and get families or groups of people into the Advisory Parks Commission November 16, 2009 Page 3 water park. Manager Vaughan replied will be looking into that opportunity to market to those groups. Member Anderson asked why the age group of 11 -15 is declining. Manager Vaughn replied he is not completely certain why, but thought that perhaps deeper water area for diving activities was more enticing. Director Johnson mentioned that the Eagan Convention and Visitors Bureau works to facilitate those events as well as marketing Cascade Bay outside the area. Member Palmer asked what is the biggest expense for Cascade Bay. Manager Vaughan answered that chemicals and heating the pool are the highest expenditures but staff is always working on ways to reduce those expenses. Park Maintenance Report Director Johnson introduced Steve Taylor, Parks Maintenance Supervisor. Supervisor Taylor gave a brief power point presentation highlighting various projects the parks maintenance division has completed in the past year including the fire pit that was put in at Moonshine Park and the dock at Wescott Park. Supervisor Taylor also covered all of the in -house projects done by maintenance including the set up of the Market Fest festival grounds, the striping of athletic fields as well as aerating and seeding fields in the spring and the fall. Supervisor Taylor noted that 400 acres of grass is mowed weekly and 250 trash cans emptied daily. 2009 Park projects included the installation of 16 new park signs, dock repair at Blackhawk Park, two map boards put in at Thomas Lake and Blackhawk Park as well as canopies installed at the Eagan Community Center. Five playgrounds were replaced at Northview, Wescott, Quarry, Rahn and Blackhawk Park. Supervisor Taylor concluded by saying maintenance is gearing up for the 2009/2010 winter season while still continuing to tackle projects. Member Hansen asked where they were at with the prairie field at Patrick Eagan Park. Director Johnson answered that it is finally starting to grow in after a very dry first year. COMMUNICATIONS Director Johnson pointed out a letter from a community gardener who participated in a garden plot at Holz Farm Park. Director Johnson believes this program will continue due to good feedback.
