At the City Council meeting of Tuesday, January 19th, Mr. Carroll and Mr. Schumaker were reappointed to the Advisory Committee. In addition, Mr. Tom Gustafson was appointed to fill the vacancy created by Mike Thomas who had chosen not to seek re- appointment. All terms are for three years. On the agenda for consideration is the organization of the Advisory Committee for the coming year. Selection of a chair - person, vice chair - person, and secretary is required. In addition, the regular monthly meeting day and time and as well as appointments to any stand- ing committee is in order for consideration. Staff will present two development proposals (material enclosed) for the Advisory Committee. Mid- Continent Builders are proposing a develop- ment which consists of approximately 192 dwelling units, which is located within park service section #9. The second development is from Developers Construction, Inc. for Hilltop condominiums. Committee members may recall that the park dedication within this plat was for the construction of pedestrian /bicycle trails, which has partially been ful- filled by the developer. Consideration in this preliminary plat will be, therefore, the location of the trail south from Berry Ridge Road to County Road 30. First under Old Business will be the reconsideration of the request from James Plantenberg for an easement at Oak Chase Park. As committee members will recall, the direction of the Advisory Committee was to have Mr. Plantenberg review with Dakota Electric the cost and feasibility of moving electrical service boxes to align the necessary turning radius into his property or an easement from Mr. Arnold Carlson. Mr. Carlson has contacted this office on Mr. Plantenberg's behalf and has indicated that from conversations with Dakota Electric, it would cost between $3,000 and $5,000 dollars for relocation of the electric box. Mr. Plantenberg and Mr. Carlson will be present at the committee meeting to again present their request for the roadway easement across parks property. I've asked Mr. Carlson to pre- sent as clearly as possible the alignment of the requested road easement. At the December Advisory Committee meeting it was determined that the policy on matching gifts should be included on the next agenda for committee review/ action. Enclosed in the packet are copies of the material previously sub- mitted to the committee for your review. A brief update on the status of the Master Plan study will be presented next on the agenda. Staff has made a determination on which firms are to submit materials. Letter to the firms have gone out on Monday February 1. • • • February 4, Advisory Meeting - Memo Page 2 New Business: Committee member Carroll requested that the topic of the Shade Tree Program be placed on the agenda for discussion. As you may know, recent action by the State Legislature has virtually eliminated funding for this program. Previously, the Department of Parks and Recreation has received reimbursement for its Shade Tree Program and Reforestation. However, as a result of the recent legislation such reimbursement will not now be available. As members are aware, the State Aid payments to Cities, and Eagan, have been reduced for the current fiscal year. As a result, the City will be required to trim its budget. The director has met with the department staff to review which cuts would have the least amount of impact to the departments current operation; or would minimize the impact on long term objectives. The area currently being looked at will be reviewed with the Advisory Committee. It is anticipated that the Council will review these reductions sometime in mid - March. Under Other Business: Chairman Martin has requested that the Advisory Committee consider the need to develop objectives for 1982. Staff will report on spring and summer programs that are currently being planned/ developed for programming, an update on park names. (see enclosed material) A report on the 1981 -82 skating season, and finally, a report on the meeting the Director of Parks and Recreation has had with the Department of Natural Resources, the Lower Mississippi Watershed District, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concerning a potential boat launch facility beneath the new Cedar Avenue pedestrian bridge. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact the office. If you are unable to attend, a phone call to the office would be appreciated. • • ZONING AND LAND USE: COMMENTS CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT - HILLTOP CONDOMINIUMS APPLICANT: DEVELOPERS CONSTRUCTION INC LOCATION: SW4 OF THE 9,14 OF SECTION 22 EXISTING ZONING: R -3 (RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOUSE) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 26, 1982 DATE OF REPORT : JANUARY 18, 1982 REPORTED BY: DAVE OSBERG, PLANNING ASSISTANT APPLICATION SUBMI'ri1D: The first application submitted is for preliminary plat approval of Hilltop Condominiums which consists of approximately 10.23 acres and contains 52 dwelling units. Presently the parcel is zoned R -3 (Residential Townhouse District). The land use guide designates this parcel as R -1. However, the Hilltop Estates final plat was approved with the understanding that this parcel would have R -3 zoning. The applicant is proposing to develop the parcel with four townhouses and three coach homes. All four of the townhouses and two of the coach hares will have eight dwellings per building and one of the coach hares will have four dwelling units. As stated earlier, the total number of dwelling units on the 10.23 acre parcel will be 52. The R -3 zoning of the parcel allows for 6 -12 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development would consist of 5.08 dwelling units per acre. The total lot coverage of the seven buildings is approximately 51,376 square feet. Excluding the proposed outlot, the total area of the parcel is 397,263 square feet. The maximum lot coverage requirement of 20% sets the allowable lot coverage for this parcel at 79,452 square feet. Therefore, the preliminary plat is under the allowable lot coverage requirement by 28,076 square feet. Each of the buildings are also under the 6,000 square feet per unit lot area requirement. A 48,609 square foot outlot on the parcel will becane a public street for access into the development site. The applicants are also negotiating with Dakota County for a private road access onto County road 30. The zoning ordinance requires 2.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit with one of those parking spaces being covered. The applicant is proposing one covered park- ing space for each dwelling unit. There are 78 open parking spaces on the site, which is 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit, meaning the preliminary plat meets all parking requirements. CITY OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT - HILLTOP CONDOMINIUMS JANUARY 26, 1982 Page two If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. The plat shall be subject to all easements as required by City staff. 2. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be approved by City staff. 3. A detailed landscape plan shall be approved by City staff and an adequate landscape bond shall be submitted with the final plat and not released until one year after the landscaping has been completed. 4. The developer shall provide the City with a copy of the homeowners' asso- ciation by -laws for review. 5. All other City ordinances shall be applicable to the overall development. DCR/jach ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS 6. An 8" water main lateral must be constructed through this proposed devel- opment to'the James Refrigeration site for future connection and looping towards Pilot Knob Road. 7. Internal storm sewer drainage facilities must be located and properly sized in conformance with City requirements. 8. This proposed development must receive approval from the Dakota County Plat's Commission and/or Highway Department. 9. Outlot B must be dedicated as public right - of-way in its entirety. 10. A public street designed to City standards must be- constructed within Out - lot B from Berry Ridge Road to County Road 30. 11. A minimum 60' half right-of-way must be dedicated for County Road 30 with additional land reserved for future acquisition at the time of up- grading and relocation of County Road 30. _12. A ponding easement must be dedicated incorporating the 859.0 elevation for Pond LP -63. 13. The developer shall agree to assume the deferred assessments associated with Project 88II for lateral benefit from trunk sanitary sewer. All assessments associated with the extension of water laterals shall be the responsibility of this plat. 14. All costs associated with the upgrading and installation of the street within Outlot B shall be the responsibility of Hilltop Condominiums and/or James Refrigeration only. 15. The developer shall install a pathway in accordance with the recommen- dation of the Advisory Park Committee. TAC /jach • • TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMLISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: JANUARY 21, 1982 RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT - HILLTOP CONDOMINIUMS (LOREN SPANDE) The Public Works Department has the following comments to offer in consi- deration of the above- referenced proposed plat: UTILITIES Sanitary sewer of sufficient size and depth to handle this proposed devel- opment is available. The sanitary sewer is located east westerly through the middle of this proposed plat and also along the easterly line. There is presently an 8" water main located within Berry Ridge Road with a lateral stubbed to the south into Outlot B for future extension. This water main lateral will have to be extended to the south throughout It B for future connection and looping through the James Refrigeration proper- ty located to the west of Outlot B. GRADING AND DRAINAGE The location of this proposed development is on the side of the hill with an approximate 80' differential topography sloping to the east into the existing drainage basin located within Hilltop Estates. There presently exists a 15" storm sewer from Outlot B to this drainage basin on the eas- tern side of this proposed plat. This storm sewer was installed to pro- vide drainage for the James Refrigeration plat. The proposed grading plan requires the installation of internal storm sewer system to provide posi- tive drainage for parking lot areas into this easterly drainage basin. Part of the developer's proposed site plan for storm sewer along the sou- therly boundary of this plat incorporates a section of rural ditch drain- age. This storm sewer drainage system should not incorporate the use of a ditch and should be relocated to the proposed future northerly right - of -way of the relocated County Road 30. Positive gravity storm sewer should be provided all the way to the water elevation of the drainage basins on the easterly edge of this plat. The developer has indicated that he plans to perform minimum excavation in the development of this facility due to the steep topography of this property. The proposed grading plan is feasible and the developer should be urged to confine his grading operations to a minimum to preserve the maximum number of trees and minimize the potential for erosion during con- struction on this steep side slope. Extensive erosion control measures will have to be maintained throughout construction around the perimeter of the pond around the eastern edge of CITY OF EAGAN HILLTOP CONDOMINIUMS - PRELIMINARY PLAT - DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS MEMO JANUARY 21, 1982 PAGE TWO this proposed plat. STREETS The developer proposes to take access into this proposed plat from Berry Ridge Road, County Road 30 and the future construction of a public street within Outlot B. The private driveway access from County Road 30 must re- ceive approval from Dakota County Highway Department. At this time, the City has not received a response pertaining to this proposed connection. The intersection of County Road 30 with Pilot Knob Road is proposed to be relocated approximately 155' to the north from its present location. Sub- sequently, this relocation will affect a portion of the southerly bound- ary of this proposed plat. Elevations of future road construction within Outlot B and the private driveway accesses should take into consideration the future elevation of County Road 30 to eliminate extensive reconstruc- tion in the future when County Road 30 is upgraded. Outlot B was reservee of sufficient width to net the required City stan- dards for dedication of public right-of-way to incorporate a standard public street section. Subsequently, a minimum 32' 7 -ton residential street will have to be constructed within Outlot B connecting Berry Ridge Road with County Road 30. The southerly portion of this future public street should be widened to a minimum 40' width to provide proper turn lanes anticipated by the ultimate development of the James Refrigeration site combined with this multiple density proposal. Specific design de- tails will be reviewed by staff prior to final plat approval. EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS -OF- -WAY Adequate easements have been dedicated incorporating the existing utili- ties presently within this proposed plat. Additional easements will be necessary to incorporate future public utilities (sanitary and water) to service this proposed subdivision. Outlot B must be dedicated as a public right - of-way to allow the construc- tion of the required street. In addition, a minimum 60' half right-of-way must be dedicated for County Road 30 with a provision made for future ac- quisition of right-of-way necessitated by the relocation of County Road 30. This plat must provide for the dedication of a ponding easement incorpor- ating the 859.0 elevation for the existing pond on the eastern edge of this proposed plat referenced as Pond LP -63 on the master comprehensive storm sewer plan. This pond presently has a positive storm sewer outlet to Carlson Lake. ASSESSMENTS Lot 33, Block 5, Hilltop Estates has previously been assessed for sani- tary sewer lateral under Project 217 which provided for the installation of sanitary sewer in Berry Ridge Road within Hilltop Estates. It was also • • • • • CITY OF EAGAN HILLTOP CONDOMINIUMS - PRELIMINARY PLAT - DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS MEMO JANUARY 21, 1982 PAGE THREE assessed for sanitary sewer lateral under Project 300 for the installation of sanitary sewer through this property to service James Refrigeration. However, this proposed development will now be responsible for a lateral benefit from trunk sanitary sewer associated with a 27" trunk sanitary sewer along the eastern edge of this proposed plat which was installed as a part of Project 88II in 1972. Assessments associated with this proposed trunk against the undeveloped property at that time was deferred until de- velopment occurred with subsequent connection into this trunk. There is approximately 645 lineal feet of lateral benefit from this trunk sanitary sewer. This will be assessed at lateral benefit from trunk rate in effect at the time of final plat. Based on the 1981 rates, it is estimated at $9,610.00. Any extension of water main facilities to service this plat, or installa- tion of storm sewer facilities to handle internal drainage should be the . entire responsibility of this development. The upgrading of the public street within Outlot B should be shared between the James Refrigeration development and this proposed Hilltop Condominiums in a method to be de- termined at a later date. It is felt that the Beautiful Savior Church located by the northwest corner of this proposed plat would not benefit by the installation or construction of public utilities or streets within Outlot B due to the fact that this property is adequately serviced by streets and utilities within Berry Ridge Road and/or Pilot Knob Road. All other trunk area assessments have been levied and no future assessments are anticipated for trunk area benefits. TRAILWYS At the time of the development of the Hilltop Estates plat, the developer entered into an agreement providing for the construction of a trailway around the westerly edge of the proposed ponding area on the east side of this proposed plat. The Advisory Park Committee will be reviewing if this is still a feasible location, or if it should be relocated to the west side of the proposed future street within Outlot B to provide adequate pedestrian access to the James Refrigeration commercial development adjacent to the west edge of this plat. I will be available to discuss in further detail any questions the Planning Commission may have pertaining to this proposed subdivision at the Planning Commission Meeting of January 26, 1982.

RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER APPLICATION SUBMITI` D : An application has been submitted requesting a preliminary plat, Country Glenn Condominiums located on Lots 3 and 4, Block 2, Foxridge Addition. The prelimi- nary plat consists of approximately 13 acres and contains 192 condominium units. LAND USE AND ZONING Presently the site is zoned R-4 (Residential Multiple District). The existing zoning would only allow multiple dwellings on the proposed site. The proposed site plan is consistent with the existing zoning. The land use for the proposed site also indicates an R -4 (Residential Multiple District) with a density of 12+ dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the plan is also consistent with the pro- posed land use guide plan. SITE PLAN REVIEW The subject parcel consists of 13.09 acres and the developer is proposing to con- struct four 42 -unit condominiums buildings and one 24 -unit condominium building for a total of 192 dwelling units. The site density for this proposed project is 14.6 dwelling units per net acre. The subject parcel is bordered on the east by Coachman Road and to the north by Letendre Street. These streets are presently constructed and the site is proposing to take direct access onto Coachman Road. To the south of this subject parcel is bordered by an existing apartment complex and to the west by an existing town- house complex. The proposed site plan indicates 3 -story buildings and is proposing to have a mix of 84 1- bedroom units and 108 2- bedroom units. As stated by the plat, the devel- oper is proposing to construct the project as owner- occupancy for each unit from the beginning. Therefore, this will not be a rental project but owner- occupied from the beginning. In calculating the density for the one and two - bedroom units for a 3 -stow build- ing, the required square footage of land for the 192 dwelling units would be 578,400 sauare feet. The total site of the 13.09 acres contains 570,395 square CITY OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT - COUNTRY GLENN CONDOMINIUMS JANUARY 26, 1982 PAGE TWO feet. Therefore, the applicant is approximately 2 -3 dwelling units over the re- quired site density. The 8,000 square feet would be approximately 2 -3 dwelling units in excess according to the square footage requirements. However, looking at the overall site plan, the applicant is proposing 42 -unit buildings and 24- unit buildings, and therefore would be impractical to construct a 39 -unit build- ing. The applicant has indicated that he would not sell two to three units in the project and keep them for storage vs. trying to redesign a building to make 39 units. Therefore, either a variance would be required for the additional 3 units, or a restriction that the developer would not sell three of the units within the project to meet the overall site density. The parking requirement for the project according to Ordinance 52 would require the developer to provide one garage space and 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit for a total of 480 parking spaces. The applicant is proposing to construct one garage space per unit and 243 outside parking spaces for a total of 335 park- ing spaces. The 335 parking spaces equals 1.75 parking spaces per dwelling unit. If the City would require 2 parking spaces per unit, the parking space require- ment would be 384 spaces. Again, staff would like to point out that in conver- sations with other communities, 2.5 parking spaces seems to be in excess of the parking needs for condominium units, and most communities have 2 parking spaces per unit as a standard requirement. Therefore, the applicant is requesting to reduce the number of parking spaces to 1.75 which has been a study they had con- ducted in Apple Valley to be an adequate amount of parking spaces for condomin- ium units. In reviewing the lot coverage of the building and covered parking, the applicant is proposing to cover 112,193 square feet for a total of 19.6% lot coverage. This is under the 20% lot coverage for residential dwelling. In reviewing the site plan, the applicant has met all the setback requirements for the buildings on the lots. The applicant is also proposing to provide a recreational area in the center of the complex which would consist of a pool and 2 volleyball courts plus open space. The applicant should incorporate a tot lot facility in order to provide the needs of the preschoolers within this neighborhood. The access to this site is proposed to be taken off of Coachman Road. Each ac- cess would serve approximately 96 dwelling units. The applicant has proposed 24' access and 24' drive aisles throughout the parking area. Therefore, it should be adequate to provide circulation in each of the parking areas. If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. That a variance should be granted to allow 3 extra dwelling units, or a stipulation should be required that the developer does not sell 3 of the units in order to cone into compliance with the square footage requirement. 2. The outside parking spaces shall be a 10 20'dimension and the parking area shall be surfaced with concrete curbing around the perimeter of the parking area. 3. Homeowner association by -laws shall be submitted and reviewed for the CITY OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT - COUNTRY GLENN CONDOMINIUMS • JANUARY 26, 1982 PAGE THREE development prior to the final platting of the first stage. 4. A detailed landscaping plan shall be submitted and approved by the City and a landscape bond shall be required for an adequate amount and not re- leased until one year after the landscaping has been completed. 5. The subject plan shall be reviewed by the Eagan Park Committee. At the present time, the staff would be looking at a cash dedication per unit. This, however, is subject to the Park Committee's review and recommenda- tion. 6. The applicant is proposing 335 parking spaces which is 1.75 parking spaces per unit. A variance would have to be granted from the strict require- ment of 2.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit, or somewhere in between. 7. The applicant shall dedicate all easements as reauired by City staff. 8. All other ordinance requirements shall be met. DCR/jach • ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS 9. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan must be approved prior to final plat. 10. Coachman Road should be ordered for upgrading under a City contract prior to final plat. 11. A storm sewer outlet must be provided for the proposed ponding area, or, if the ponding is eliminated, storm sewer must be constructed from Letendre Road to the Foxridge Addition. 12. This development shall accept the deferred assessment for the lateral bene- fit from trunk water main along Coachman Road. The amount shall be deter- mined based on the rates in effect at the time of final plat. 13. The developer shall assume the deferred assessments for lateral benefit fran sanitary sewer along the south and north property lines. The rates used to determine this lateral benefit amount shall be those in effect at the time of final plat. 14. This development shall provide for the installation of a 5' sidewalk along the west right-of -way line of Coachman Road adjacent to this development. TAC /jach T0: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: JANUARY 21, 1982 RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT - COUNTRY GLENN CONDOMINIUMS (Mid Continent Bldrs.) The Public Works Department has the following comments to offer in con- sideration of the above- referenced proposed plat: UTILITIES Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size and capacity to handle this proposed development is available immediately adjacent to this pro- posed plat. Internal lateral extensions and /or service lines will have to be installed to provide service to the individual buildings. STREETS Access to this proposed development will be provided by way of two indi- vidual driveway entrances from Coachman Road. Coachman Road is classi- fied as a collector street with an ultimate design of 44' width with concrete curb and gutter. Coachman Road has been constructed to a first stage 24' bituminous surface, gravel shoulders with rural ditch section under Project 81 in 1973. With the existing Foxridge Apartments to the south, Coachman Oaks Apartment complex and the recently approved Coachman Land Company 1st Addition at the intersection of Four Oaks Road and Coachman, we will generate additional traffic volumes that will require the upgrading of Coachman Road to its ultimate design section as a collect- or road. Present City policy requires multiple density zoning to be re- sponsible for upgrading to City standards collector streets adjacent to their property. In addition, collector streets have a 5' concrete sidewalk, or 8' bitum- inous trail constructed on one side of the roadway. This development should also be responsible for the construction of the sidewalk along the west side of Coachman Road when Coachman Road is upgraded. GRADING AND DRAINAGE Presently, the entire site drains into an existing long ravine located adjacent to the west property line of this proposed development. All surface drainage from this development presently drains into this low basin. In addition, storm sewer outlets fran the Foxridge Apartments to the south and the Rivergate Townhouses to the west presently dis- charge into this law area which presently does not have a storm sewer outlet provided. This low drainage basin is the upper end of a long ravine that was isolated when Letendre Road was constructed. Letendre Road presently acts as a dike restricting a natural outflow from this • • • CITY OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT - COUNTRY GLENN CONDOMINIUMS JANUARY 26, 1982 PAGE Two low drainage basin. The developer proposes to construct a long, narrow ponding area adjacent to the east property line incorporating this ex- isting dead end drainage basin. A storm sewer overflow would have to be provided at the northern end connecting into the existing trunk storm sewer within the Letendre Road which has a positive outlet down to the Minnesota River. The proposed grading plan would create a pond approx- imately 750' long by 85' wide and 9' deep. However, because of the existing subgrade material, water presently does not pond in this area due to the percolation capabilities of the soil. This would provide a temporary sedimentation basin for the runoff from the paved surface areas of Foxridge, Rivergate and the proposed Country Glenn parking lots. If this temporary ponding area is found to be undesirable, approximately 1,000 feet of storm sewer would have to be constructed within this area to intercept the proposed storm sewer discharges from this development in addition to connecting to the existing storm sewer outlets from River - gate and Foxridge. ASSESSMENTS This property has been previously assessed for its trunk area sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer assessments. There has been a deferred assessment for lateral benefit fran trunk water main along Coachman Road which was installed under Project 61 until the time of development and/ or connection. This lateral benefit from trunk water main assessment will be the responsibility of this development if it should occur. Based on 1981 rates, its approximate frontage of 765' (corner lot credit applied) would result in approximately $11,000. This property has not been assessed for sanitary sewer which is avail- able adjacent to the southwest and north property lines. These sewers were installed under Projects 8, 29 -3 and 61. Based on benefit received and anticipated points of sanitary sewer connection at the north and south end of this development, results in approximately 1,194 feet of lateral benefit which, if levied at the 1981 rates, would result in ap- proximately $15,650.00. In accordance with existing City policy, this development would be re- sponsible for its share of the cost of upgrading Coachman Road to the ultimate design standards for a collector street necessitated by this proposed and other existing developments adjacent to Coachman Road. Future costs associated with this upgrading and trailway construction would be delineated in a future feasibility report yet to be prepared. In addition, all costs associated with the installation of internal san- itary sewer, storm sewer and water main facilities to provide service to the individual buildings will be the entire responsibility of this proposed development. CITY OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT - COUNTRY GLENN CONDOMINIUMS JANUARY 26, 1982 PAGE THREE EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY Sufficient half right -of -way for Coachman Road and Letendre Street has been previously dedicated. No additional right -of -way for streets are anticipa- ted as a result of this development. Sufficient easements incorporating existing utilities and proposed future public utilities must be dedicated as a part of the final plat. I will be available to discuss in further detail any aspect of this report at the Planning Commission Meeting of January 26, 1982. Respectfully submitted, Thomas A. Colbert, P.E.

Staff was asked to review this possibility. Issues to be Considered: Generally, the City will want to be sensitive to the desire of a neighborhood group in planning and developing a park. This is also true of "special interest groups," who may desire some type of special equipment to enhance a program. When a group proposes to pay for a portion of the develop- ment /purchase costs, the City should review both the positive and negative impli- cations. First, it shows genuine interest by the group by its willingness to fund the development. This interest will have a positive impact on how the park /equipment is cared for. The feeling of ownership generally translates into one of care. Two, it allows the City to accomplish park development with less tax dollars. Three, it encourages local groups to take pride in their parks while providing a service to the community. There is some negative implication of "cost matching" for parks development: 1. Matching may lead to "possession" attitude towards the park to the extent that the park or fixture is not a City or neighborhood facility/ fixture but for the exclusive use of the few who may have helped finance the gift. 2. The "gift" may be used as leverage in obtaining future park /City considerations by the use of the argument "after all we paid for this we want - . - - - " 3. In some situations a gift may cause future development problems in the park. "You can't take that (piece of equipment) from the park, our neighborhood paid for that 15 years ago." 4. "Lower priority" items may be developed in one park prior to a higher priority item in a distant park. This may lead to the feeling that one neighborhood group is being favored over another. For these reasons, the following ideas for guidelines are proposed for consideration. 1. Each matching request should be reviewed on its merits. The development should be consistent with the established park development plan or C.I.P. 2. Matching money should be provided so as not to take away from committments to other parks or developments. 3. An understanding or policy that the match is seen as being something that may have to be changed, removed, modified, etc., as future park develop- ment occurs or as the equipment ceases to provide the type of use originally intended. 4. The "gift" is consistent with the City wide systems priority for development. 5. A limit on the dollar amount the City would be willing to match for any one group /park area. Action: The Committee may wish to discuss the implications of a matching program and possible guidelines to determine if an adopted review procedure is necessary. • MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITPEE FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION RE: PARK NAMES February 1982 The Sub - Committee on Park Names has drafted the following article which is being suggested to be placed in the next issue of the City's Newletter. A map showing park locations will also be inserted in the Newsletter. Re- view and approval of the letter and recommendation to the City Council is in order for consideration. NAMING OUR PARKS One of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Committee's goals is to erect signs at park entrances. However, most City parks do not have official names. This involves a recommendation by the Advisory Committee and formal action by the City Council. You, who are park neighbors and hopefully users of the parks should have a voice in the selection of park names. Please give us your suggested names for your neighborhood park as well as any of the community parks which are not officially named. A map showing location of parks is provided on the (next page)(reverse side of this page). All existing parks are listed by category below. Space is provided after each listed park for your suggested names. Fold the sheet and drop in the mail - no postage is required. For your general guidance parks may be named after the subdivision or neighborhood, school or adjacent street; lake, pond or creek; name used by most people in reference to the park; topographical or dominant feature or vegetation common to the site; creative name based on his - rorical use or events relating to the site; or the name of a person, usually in memoriam and significant to the history of the area. We appreciate your interest and help in the project. If you have any questions please call the City Park and Recreation office at 454 -7802. A BLOMQUIST MAYOR THOMAS EGAN MARK PARRANTO JAMES A. SMITH THEODORE WACHTER COUNCIL MEMBERS January 27, 1982 Mr. Tom Gustafson 4428 Dodd Road Eagan, Mn 55123 Dear Mr. Gustafson: CITY OF EAGAN . 9795 PILOT KNOB ROAD P.O. BOX 21199 EAGAN, MINNESOTA 55122 PHONE 454 On behalf of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Committee, as well as the Department, I would like to Welcome you to the Committee. As you know, the Advisory Committee meets on the first Thursday of the month. The agenda for the Committee is prepared and out prior to the Wednesday preceeding the meeting to allow you some prepartory time. Should you ever have any questions in regards to items contained within the packet, please feel free to contact the office. To assist you with some of the items that the committee has recently been dealing with, I've taken the liberty of enclosing the packets and minutes from the meeting of November and Pecember of 1981. Also enclosed is a "Scope of Services" which has been prepared in anticipation of a Master Parks Plan study to be done by an outside consulting firm. The Advisory Committee has been studying the issue of park develop- ment for several months and has concluded that a Master Parks Plan study could detail this needed effort. Another enclosure relates to the responsibility of an Advisory Committee member. This was recently prepared and adopted by the City to assist new members of the committee. I would like to offer to you the opportunity to visit with me con- cerning any matters that you may wish to discuss concerning parks and recreation. Again, welcome to the committee. I look forward to meeting you personally at the next Advisory meeting on February 4th. Since Ken Vraa,`Director Parks $ Recreation KV:bp cc: Roger Martin, Chairperson THE LONE OAK TREE ...
