EAGAN PARKS $ RECREATION DEPARTMENT
POLICY GUIDELINES
MATCHING GIFTS
At the February 4th, 1982 Advisory Parks and Recreation Committee meeting,
the Advisory Committee adopted the following guideline to be admininstered
at times the department is approached to match gifts for neighborhood
parks and playgrounds:
1. That a memorandum, or petition of acknowledgement, be circulated
within the defined neighborhood, as designated by department
staff, stating the request for the match.
2. Each matching request should be reviewed on its merits. The develop-
ment should be consistent with the established park development plan
or C.I.P.
3. Matching money should be provided so as not to take away from
committments to other parks or developments.
4. An understanding that the "gift" is seen as being something that
may have to be changed, removed, modified, etc., as future park
development occurs or as the equipment ceases to provide the type
of use originally intended.
5. The "gift" is consistent with the City wide systems priority for
development.
6. That dollar amounts may be limited for matching purposes by budget
or circumstances at the time.
Motion to adopt: Masin, seconded by McNeely,
All voted in favor.
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: MARCH 4th, 1982 AGENDA
Please see the separate packet item regarding this proposal.
The regular meeting of the Advisory Committee is scheduled for March 4th at
7:00 P.M., City Hall.
Following the opening of the meeting the City Planner and I will present the
development proposal.
U.S. Homes. - Orrin Thompson - is presenting a preliminary plat for Lexington
Place. The 84.62 acre area is for 672 dwelling units. The Advisory Committee
will recall that this parcel had previously been reviewed for a plat of a
different nature in 1981. At that review, the recommendation was for a
cash dedication. Staff would recommend that the committee review the new
plat for a cash dedication; asphalt trail along Lexington, sidewalk on
Duckwood extension, and potential trailway easement. This easement might
best come off a proposed cul -de -sac in the south portion of the development
to connect to a proposed future park to the east. The City has been advised
that the developer is proposing two recreational areas with tot lots within
the development. Combined with the open space within the plat, staff is of
the opinion that these proposed areas, will provide adequate park like
amenities.
Tomark Development - Tomark 2nd Addition - the second addition is for a 78
dwelling unit building. Committee members may recall that at the time of
the phase one proposal, it was the desire of the committee to review each
phase for potential recommendations of tot lot facilities. As you review
the phase II plan, you will note that the location of the tot lot and
recreation area in the phase one development is accessible immediately
to the north of the 2nd addition. A recommendation from the committee
should include a cash dedication per unit and a determination on the
necessity for a tot lot. (Note: the development plans for future additions
do include another recreational area including tot lot and tennis courts.)
William Brandt for Lemay Lake Addition - this plat includes 10 acres of
44 townhouse units. The plat does contain common open -space with a pro -
posal for a tot -lot. This common space also provides for equal access to
the lake by the townhouse owners.
It would be the recommendation of staff that a cash dedication be required,
and for the Advisory Committee to review the necessity of a stairway or
connecting link be made between the development and asphalt trail along
Pilot Knob Road. This public link would be the responsibility of the
home owners association for maintenance.
The final development proposal before the committee is for Willmus Park
Addition located in park service area 28, north of Mallard Park 1 through
3rd additions.

March 4th, 1982 Agenda - Memo
Page 2
Old Business - The City Council has asked the Advisory Committee to review
the proposed plat for Country Glen Condominiums. As you will recall, the
committee has made a recommendation for a cash dedication. The council
would like the committee to again review the proposal and make a specific
recommendation regarding the proposed "court" facility. Should there be
a hard surface court for tennis or the volleyball court as proposed?
At the February meeting, the committee members were asked to think about
and prepare suggestions for committee objectives for 1982. It is hoped
by the chairman that the committee will be able to define its objectives,
rank its importance and indicate a plan of action to accomplish this task
at the meeting.
New Business: A separate memo has been prepared regarding the winter pro-
gram - skating season which is included in the packet.
The Director of Parks and Recreation would like to conduct a "brainstorming"
session on recreational program needs. The purpose of this exercise will
be to begin to identify the needs of the community for recreational programs.
This is the first step in a several step process which will ultimately lead
to potentially new program offerings.
Other Business /Reports: The teen committee will have met twice since the
February meeting. A verbal report will be made, with a recommendation.
Staff will up -date the committee on the Master Parks Plan - consultant
interviews. And, a brief report on 1983 L.A.W.C.O.N. funding.
One final note, the agenda has been prepared two days in advance of normal
because of consultant interviews on Friday and Monday. Therefore, there
may be some additions to the agenda following its final preparation.
CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT - TOMARK 2ND ADDITION
APPLICANT: TOMARK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
LOCATION: NW; OF THE NW4 OF SECTION 14
EXISTING ZONING: R -4 (RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 25, 1982
DATE OF REPORT : FEBRUARY 11, 1982
REPORTED BY: DAVE OSBERG, PLANNING ASSISTANT
APPLICATION SUBMITTED:
An application has been submitted for preliminary plat approval, Tanark 2nd
Addition, which consists of approximately 25.3 acres located on Outlot A, Tomark
1st Addition. The applicant is only requesting approval of the first building
which is located on approximately 5 acres and contains 78 dwelling units.
BACKGROUND
On April 21, 1981, the City Council approved the preliminary plat of Tomark Addi
tion. At this time, the applicant was looking only for approval of the first
phase which consisted of approximately 10.6 acres and contained 144 dwelling units.
The remaining land was platted as an outlot. Since the April 21 City Council
meeting, construction has begun on the two buildings which will each have 72
dwelling units. The application before the Planning Commission is for prelimi-
nary plat approval of the first building in the Tomark 2nd Addition which origi-
nally was part of Outlot A in the Tomark 1st Addition.
SITE PLAN AND PLAT REVIEW
The Tomark 2nd Addition preliminary plat consists of one building and three out-
lets. The building contains 78 dwelling units and it would be on a 5 -acre par-
cel. Outlot A consists of 5.4 acres, Outlot B, 4.2 acres and Outlot D, 9.2 acres.
These three outlots will each have one building on it for a total of 222 dwelling
units once the developers complete the entire Tomark development. Until the de-
velopers want to begin these phases of the development, the three outlots will re-
main as such.
The proposed structure would be a 3 -story building and would contain 78 dwelling
units. The building would be broken down into 6 three - bedroom units, 51 two -bed
room units and 21 one - bedroom units.
The parking requirement for the building would be 195 parking spaces, of which
78 would have to be covered parking, either garage or underground. The applicant
is proposing underground parking for the building. The site plan shows 68 open
parking spaces and 88 covered parking spaces for a total of 156 parking spaces.
The site plan is 39 parking spaces short of the 2.5 parking spaces per unit
requirement.

PRELIMINARY PLAT - TONARK 2ND ADDITION
FEBRUARY 25, 1982
PAGE TWO
Again, staff would like to point out that in conversations with other communi-
ties, 2.5 parking spaces per unit 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.
In reviewing the lot coverage of the building, the applicant is proposing to
cover approximately 29,185 square feet for a total of 13.4% lot coverage which
is under the 20% lot coverage requirement. According to Ordinance 52, the lot
size requirement for the proposed building is 5 acres. The applicant is meet-
ing this requirement. In reviewing the site plan, the applicant has met all
setback requirements for the building.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following conditions:
1.
A detailed landscape plan be provided for Lot 1, Block 1, Tanark 2nd
Addition and an adequate landscape bond shall be provided and not re-
leased until one year after the landscaping has been completed.
2. The applicant is proposing 156 parking spaces which is 2 parking spaces
per unit. A variance would have to be granted from the requirement of
2.5 parking spaces per unit.
3. The park dedication requirement shall be determined by the Park Committee.
4. All other applicable ordinance requirements shall be met.
DMO /jack
ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
5. Sanitary sewer and water main shall be extended to the south limits of
this proposed plat for continuation and looping through the proposed
development to the south.
6. A storm sewer system shall be constructed providing for the connection
of the drainage basin in the southeast corner of Outlot A (DP -9) to the
drainage basin in the northwest corner of Outlot D (DP -10).
7. The ponding easement for DP -9 as dedicated under the 1st Addition will
have to be revised to conform with the approved grading plan for the
proposed 2nd Addition to incorporate the 864.0 elevation.
8. Adequate easements to allow construction of sanitary sewer, water and
storm sewer facilities to service the proposed Lexington Place develop-
ment to the south must be dedicated as a part of this final plat.
9. A detailed grading and drainage plan must be reviewed and approved prior
to final plat approval.
10. Trunk area storm sewer assessments must be assumed for Lot 1, Block 1
of the proposed 2nd Addition as a condition of final plat approval.

ADDITIONAL ITEM FOR CONSIDERATION CONCERNING TOMARK 1ST ADDITION
The developers would like the Planning Commission to consider another item
concerning the second building of the Tomark 1st Adciition. At the present
time, the developers are proposing 2.5 parking spaces per unit for the build-
ing. However, the developers are seeking a variance from the 2.5 parking
spaces per unit requirement, and they would like to construct 2 parking spaces
per unit. The developers would have additional landscaping and green area in-
stead of the additional parking spaces. Staff would like to point out again
that the 2.5 parking spaces per unit requirement seems to be in excess of the
needed parking for condominiums. Attached are exhibits illustrating the build-
ing with 2.5 parking spaces per unit and 2 parking spaces per unit.
TO: THE PLANNING COPM4ISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 1982
RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT - TOMARK 2ND ADDITION (TOPMRK DEVELOPMENT)
The Public Works Department has the following cents for consideration of
the above - referenced proposed plat:
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size and capacity to service this
proposed development have been installed within Golfview Drive under Project
336, Contract 81 -9 to the north line of the proposed 2nd Addition. These util-
ities will have to be extended southerly to service this proposed building
in Lot 1, Block 1 in addition to continuing to the south limits of Outlot A
to provide for continuation and looping through the proposed Lexington Place
adjacent to the south.
STREETS
Access to this proposed facility will be provided by way of Golfview Drive
which was constructed under Project 336B, Contract 81 -10. It will require
an extension of Golfview Drive along the entire frontage of Lot 1, Block 1
with future extension and ultimate connection to Lexington Avenue taking
place within any subsequent development beyond the proposed 2nd Addition.
It is felt that Golfview Drive intersection with Yankee Doodle Road will be
adequate to handle Tonmark 1st and this proposed building. The maximum length
for access into this proposed building will be 650'.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
Topography is generally rolling topography with the drainage from this pro-
posed plat being directed toward the southeast corner into drainage basin
DP -9 contained within the adjacent Carriage Hills Golf Course property. The
outlet from Pond DP -9 is ultimately proposed to be directed to the pond near
the intersection of Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington Avenue within proposed
Outlot D of Tomark 2nd Addition. This storm sewer outlet from the southeast
corner of this proposed development toward Yankee Doodle Road must be con-
structed in conjunction with the proposed outlet from Pond DP -18 immediately
to the south within the proposed Lexington Place development. This storm
sewer extension must be constructed as a part of the Tomark 2nd Addition.
EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
A ponding easement will have to be rededicated incorporating the 864.0 ele-
vation for Pond DP -9 based on the final approved grading plan for the 2nd
Addition. A stan•ard 10' drainage and utility easement must be dedicated
adjacent to all public rights-of-way and adjacent private property and cen-
tered over all over common lot lines. A 60' right -of -way shall be dedica-
ted to provide for the continuation of Golfview Drive adjacent to Lot 1,
Block 1 of the 2nd Addition. In addition, adequate utility easements will
be required to allow for the installation of a storm sewer system connecting

Tomark 2nd Addition
Page two
Pond DP -9 and DP -10 and also providing for the continuation of sanitary
sewer, water and storm sewer from DP -18 for the proposed Lexington Place
Subdivision to the south. The necessary right- of-way for Lexington Ave-
nue was dedicated as a part of the 1st Addition.
ASSESSMENTS
Trunk area sanitary sewer and water assessments have been levied under
Project 58 previously. However, trunk area storm sewer assessment must
be levied as a condition of final plat approval or as a part of the future
required storm sewer construction discussed previously.
TRAMWAY AND SIDEWALKS
No additional sidewalk or trailways are required as a condition of this
proposed development.
I will be available to discuss in further detail any aspect of this memo
pertaining to this proposed development at the Planning Commission Meeting
of February 25, 1982.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT - LEMAY' S LAKE ADDITION
APPLICANT: BRANDT MANAGEMENT - WILLIAM BRANDT
LOCATION: SW4 OF THE NW4 OF THE NW4 OF SECTION 10
EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 25, 1982
DATE OF RUM: FEBRUARY 18, 1982
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMIrn
The first application submitted is a request to rezone approximately 10 acres from
A (Agricultural District) to R -3 (Residential Townhouse District).
The second application submitted is a request for a preliminary plat, LeMay's Lake
Addition, which consists of approximately 10 acres and will contain 44 townhouse
units.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the 10 -acre parcel is zoned A (Agricultural) which would allow one home
per 5 acres. The Agricultural District is kind of an open zoning where a develop-
rent proposal has not been made in the past. The Comprehensive Land Use Guide de-
signates this parcel as R -2 (Mixed Residential) with a density of 3 -6 dwelling units
per acre. Therefore, the development proposal is consistent with the Land Use Guide
Plan on a gross unit per acre basis.
COMMENTS
The proposed site is located north of Tawerview Road, east of Pilot Knob Road and
south and west of LeMay's Lake. The entire parcel contains approximately 10 acres.
The net acreage after deducting half rights - of-way for Towerview Road and Pilot
Knob Road and the public street proposed within this development, and calculating
only 10% of the water for density credits, the net acreage of this site is 6.65
acres.
The access to the proposed site is off of Towerview Road. The applicant is pro-
posing to put in a public street and provide access by a public street to the
property to the north. The access going to the east would be a private drive
just to allow access for 24 dwelling units with 20 units being served by a public
street.
• In reviewing the development proposal, the applicant is requesting townhouse de-
velopment which would allow 1 unit per 6,000 square feet of the net area. The

net area has been calculated as 6.65 acres and would allow a maximum of 48 dwell-
ing units. The applicant is proposing 44 dwelling units for the subject parcel.
The lot coverage of the buildings on the site is 14.68% which is under the 20%
lot coverage requirement.
The platting of the parcel, the applicant has proposed platting some land with
each of the dwelling units. The plat, in essence, allows some ownership of
land. The Outlot C will be the common area which will be owned by the Associa-
tion and would allow each owner or renter to have access to LeMay's Lake. The
applicant has proposed this common area to be utilized by all of the people
within the development.
The applicant has proposed 1 garage space and 1 parking space per unit for a to-
tal of 2 parking spaces per unit. The ordinance does require one covered space
and 1.5 parking spaces. However, the applicant does feel 2 parking spaces is
adequate for this development.
The applicant has proposed a 20' setback from a public street instead of the 30'
setback requirement. The reasoning for this 20' setback is to provide more open
space and useable space in the rear of the units vs. providing a 30' front set-
back.
Also, in reviewing the site plan, there is a 30' setback between dwelling units.
The applicant needs to shift the buildings slightly to obtain this 30' spacing
between units on the development proposal.
The applicant is proposing that the dwelling units could either be rented or owner-
occupied. He is proposing to give the option to the person renting or buying the
unit that the rent for X amount of years could be used for the down payment in pur-
chasing the unit. Therefore, it gives the person looking to rent or buy the unit
if the person does not have the down payment at this time, that the rent paid for
the first few years could then be used as a down payment for the unit. This ap-
pears to be a new concept the applicant is proposing to use to get owner-occupancy
in the condominium project.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following conditions:
1) A Homeowner's Association bylaws shall be reviewed prior to final plat ap-
proval.
2) A detailed landscaping plan shall be approved and a landscaping bond shall
be submitted and not released until one year after the landscaping has
been completed.
4) A 10' variance would also be required between spacing of the dwelling units
or shifting the units to meet the 30' spacing requirement.
5) The plat should be subject to the Dakota County Plat Commission's review
and comments because it abuts a County road.
3) A 10' variance shall be approved for the front setback of the dwelling units.

6) The plat should be subject to the Park Committee's recommendation for park
dedication.
7) The developer shall provide one tot lot to provide the needs of the pre-
schoolers within the neighborhood.
ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
8) A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan must be reviewed and
approved prior to final plat approval.
9) A 30' half right -of -way for Tawerview Road shall be dedicated.
10) Tcwerview Road shall be upgraded to the City standard of a 32' wide bitumi-
nous surface with concrete curb and gutter. If Tcwerview Road is not or-
dered for improvement by Council action, this development shall place a cash
escrow for its fair share of the proposed future improvement of Towerview
Road.
11) A pedestrian stairway shall be constructed in the northwest corner providing
access to the existing trailway on the west side of Pilot Knob Road. Main-
tenance for this stairway shall be the responsibility of the Homeowner's
Association.
12) A drainage and ponding easement shall be dedicated adjacent to LeMay's Lake
incorporating the 878.0 elevation.
13) An adequate utility easement shall be obtained from the property to the
north to allow the extension and installation of the required sanitary sewer.
14) An internal water main shall provide a looping from the existing stub west
of Pilot Knob Road with a connection to the existing water lateral within
Towerview Road.
15) This development shall assume all deferred assessments relating to trunk area
storm sewer and water and lateral benefit from existing utilities in accor-
dance with the rates in effect at the time of final plat approval. In addi-
tion, as a condition of final plat approval, this development shall waive its
right to objection to the existing pending special assessments under Project
177, 200, 334 and 347.

T0: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
FROM: THOMAS A. COLBEI , DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: FEBRUARY 19, 1982
RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT - LEMAY'S LAKE ADDITION (BRANDT MANAGEMENT)
The Public Works Department has the following information for consider-
ation of the above- referenced proposed plat:
UTILITTFS
Sanitary sewer of sufficient size and capacity to handle this proposed
development was installed in 1970 under Project 49 -2 and recently ex-
tended along the north property line of this proposed plat under Project
347 in 1981. Sanitary sewer, water and related services were install-
ed within Towerview Road under Project 113 in 1974. However, this de-
velopment does not propose to make a connection to these utilities
within Towerview Road with the exception of water main looping.
Water main of sufficient size and capacity to service this proposal
is available by way of the existing 16" trunk water main located on the
west side of Pilot Knob Road which had a 6" water lateral service stubbed
to the east side under Project 334 in 1981 as a part of the upgrading of
Pilot Knob Road. This water main shall be looped through this proposed
development and connected to the existing water lateral located within
Towerview Road previously discussed.
STREETS
Access to this proposed development will be from Tawerview Road which
is presently an unimproved gravel road f.wiu Pilot Knob Road to Quarry
Lane. With this proposed development, Towerview Road should be upgrad-
ed to City standards of bituminous surfacing with concrete curb and
gutter. Internal public streets consist of a parallel frontage road
with Pilot Knob Road to provide continuation and ultimate access to the
property to the north. The two cul -de -sacs are proposed to be private
drives which should be constructed to a minimum 28' width with concrete
curb and gutter and bituminous. surfacing. Pilot Knob Road adjacent to
the west property line of this proposed plat was recently upgraded to
its ultimate design section with a bituminous trailway during 1981.
Because of the differential in elevations between Pilot Knob Road and
the proposed public drive, the developer is proposing to construct the
centerline of the proposed public street 3' east of the center of the
dedicated right -of -way for this public drive. This will result in an
approximate 16' boulevard on the west side and a 10' boulevard on the
east side. The developer is also requesting a 10' variance from the
required 30' setback from this public drive on the east side. With
this 10' variance and 3' offset of roadway construction, these dwell-
ing units would be approximately 13' closer to public street's curb

and gutter as compared to the City's standard residential streets.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
Topography of this property provides for a gentle slope to the north
and east to LeMay's Lake. The elevation of this property is slightly
below that of Tawerview Road and Pilot Knob Road. All drainage gener-
ated by this development would be directed by way of internal storm
sewer systems into LeMay Lake which presently has a controlled store
sewer outlet providing for drainage to the Minnesota River.
The proposed location of the public street paralleling Pilot Knob Rd.
will have to be carefully designed to insure its compatibility with
Pilot Knob Road due to its elevation differential which will require
a side slope from Pilot Knob Road trailway down to the proposed inter-
nal road for this addition. Also, the elevation of this proposed road
at the northern boundary of this plat should be approximately 896.0 to
insure compatibility with the topography of the undeveloped property
to the north. These existing and proposed elevations will place speci-
fic constraints as to the ultimate location of this proposed public
drive.
Extensive erosion control measures will have to be implemented to pro-
tect the water quality of LeMay Lake during construction of this pro-
posed development.
EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS -OF -NAY
Sufficient right -of -way for Pilot Knob Road was acquired during 1980
by the Dakota County Highway Department to provide for the upgrading
of Pilot Knob Road. No additional right - of-way will be required at
this time.
A 30' half right-of-way should be dedicated adjacent to Tawerview Rd.
to provide for the required upgrading to City's standards.
A drainage and ponding easement should be dedicated around LeMay Lake
to incorporate the 878.0 elevation. A 10' drainage and utility ease-
ment should be dedicated adjacent to all public right-of-way and ad-
jacent private property. In addition, a utility easement will be re-
quired from the undeveloped property to the north to allow the con-
nection of the proposed sanitary sewer system.
SIDEWALKS AND TRAIL NAYS
The trailway along Pilot Knob Road was completed as a part of the up-
grading of Pilot Knob Road during 1981. No internal trailway system
is anticipated at this time. However, we feel that a public stairway
should be constructed as a part of this development in the northwest
corner providing access up to the trailway on Pilot Knob Road. The

maintenance responsibilities for this stairway should be the Homeowner's
Association and contained in their bylaws.
ASSESSMENTS
In 1975, the sanitary sewer, water laterals, services, grading and gravel
base were constructed under Project 113 within Towerview Road. At the
request of the property owner, Mr. Martin Shields, these assessments were
deferred to be re- levied at a future date in accordance with the rates
then in effect. Based on 1981 rates, this assessment amounts to approx-
imately $25,300.
In 1977, at the request of Mr. Shields, the trunk area water assessment
was deferred until future development to be reassessed at the rates in
effect at that time. Based on 1981 rates, this trunk area water assess-
ment would amount to approximately $5,120 ( 6.65 acre).
When the trunk water main was installed along Pilot Knob Road under Pro-
ject 11 in 1967, lateral benefit from this trunk water main was deferred
until the time of connection. Based on 1981 rates, the estimated assess-
ment associated with this lateral benefit amounts to approximately $6,850
(477 LF) .
There are presently pending assessments relating to trunk and lateral
storm sewer under. Project 177, street assessments for Pilot Knob Road un-
der Project 200, and the installation of sewer and water services under
Project 347 and 334 respectively.
I will be available to discuss in further detail any aspect of this re-
port at the Planning Commission meeting of February 25, 1982.

APPLICANT: U. S. HOMES CORPORATION - ORRIN THOMPSON
LOCATION: W1/2 OF THE SW; OF SECTION 14
EXISTING ZONING: R -4 (RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 25, 1982
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 17, 1982
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED
An application has been submitted requesting a preliminary plat, Lexington Place,
which consists of approximately 84.62 acres and contains 28 condominium buildings
for a total of 672 dwelling units.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the site is zoned R -4 (Residential Multiple District) which would al-
low only multiple dwellings. According to Ordinance #52, the density could range
between 12 and 22 dwelling units per acre. The proposed land use shows the area
north of Duckwood Drive as R -3 Mixed Residential) with a density of 6 -12 dwelling
units per acre, and south of Duckwood Drive is indicated on the Comp Plan as R -2
(Mixed Residential) with a density of 3 -6 dwelling units per acre. The Comprehen-
sive Guide has always acknowledged that the actual zoning will supersede the pro-
posed uses on the land use plan. Therefore, the proposed development is in con-
formance with the zoning on this particular parcel.
COMMENTS
CITY OF EAGAN
As mentioned above, the zoning on the parcel is R -4 (Residential Multiple) and
could allow between 12 and 22 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is propo-
sing to construct 28 24 -unit buildings for a total of 672 dwelling units. The
proposed site has a gross density of 7.9 dwelling units per acre and a net den-
sity of 9.17 dwelling units per. acre. Therefore, the development proposal is
in line with the zoning of this site.
The applicant is proposing to extend Duckwood Drive to the east of the property
to provide access to the east when and if Carriage Hills Golf Course is ever
converted to a different use. Duckwood Drive is also proposed to be the resi-
dential collector within Section 14. The applicant is also proposing a looped
street on the north side of Duckwood Drive and a looped street on the south side
of Duckwood Drive which provides a good circulation for the overall development.
On the southerly looped street, there is also proposed one cul de which
would provide access to 3 condominium buildings, or 72 dwelling units.
The applicant is proposing to plat each of the 28 condominium buildings into a
lot which could stand separately on its own in accordance with setbacks, square

footage, and public access. However, the layout of the proposed project, even
though all lots do have public access, there has been common access to the pro-
ject to service up to 3 condominium buildings, or 72 dwelling units. These oom-
mon accesses reduce the curb cuts on the public street and provides a better de-
sign by offsetting the buildings and allowing open space between groupings of
complexes. The different angles tend to break up the development more so than
having all the buildings at right angles, or parallel to each other, around the
streets. The common access also provides a good circulation within the devel-
opment proposal.
The proposed buildings will be 3 stories and contain 24 dwelling units. The ap-
plicant is proposing the mix to be 6 studio units, 7 one - bedroom units and 11
two-bedroom units for a total of 24 units per building. At each end of the com-
plex, there will be a 12 -car garage which will provide the 24 covered parking
spaces per unit. The applicant has proposed .8 open parking spaces for the over-
all development. Presently, the ordinance requires 1.5 open spaces per dwelling
unit. However, in the study which had been conducted, staff has found that one
covered space and one open space per unit has been found adequate for this type
of dwelling unit, especially when the development consists of 13 units of the 24
are of one bedroom or less. Enclosed is a typical fact sheet put together by the
developer which lists the types of units and the amenities which are provided
with each condominium building.
The 28 buildings cover 13.680 of the net acreage according to the present de-
sign. The applicant has proposed two models of buildings ranging from the main
building being 106' x 51' and up to 160' by 51' according to the mix provided
for each building. If calculating all buildings to be 160' x 51' and two 12-
car garages, the lot coverage would only come to 14.40 of the net area. Both
are less than the 20% lot coverage requirement.
The proposed plat is scheduled to be reviewed by the Advisory Park Committee
Thursday, March 4, 1982 for their review and ant. However, staff is indi-
cating that the last time the proposed plat was before the Advisory Planning
Commission, there was a cash contribution per unit recommended and the potential
for a trail connection to the proposed park in this general neighborhood. This
proposed trail connection would thus be served from the cul- de-sac street to
the south. Also, it is the staff's understanding that the Park recommendation
would be a trail along Lexington Avenue and either a,sidewaik or trail along
Duckwood Drive for this proposal. However, formal action by the Park Committee
will be March 4, 1982.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following conditions:
1) Cross easements and parking easements shall be granted on the lots which
are served by common access for more than one dwelling unit.
2) The outside parking spaces shall be of 10 x 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 de-
velopment prior to the final plat of the first stage.
4) Detailed landscaping plan shall be submitted and approved by the City and
a landscape bond shall be required for an adequate mount and not released
until one year after the landscaping has been completed.
5) The preliminary plat shall be reviewed by the Eagan Park Committee and sub -
ject to the Park Committee's recommendations.
6) The applicant is proposing .8 open parking spaces per unit. A variance
would have to be granted from the strict requirement of 1.5 open spaces per
dwelling unit. Staff is recommending that one open parking space and one
garage space be required for each dwelling unit.. The Advisory Planning
Commission may want to recommend to the City Council that amending the 2.5
parking spaces per ordinance requirement be reduced to 1 covered space and
one parking space per unit.
7) The preliminary plat shall be reviewed by Dakota County's Plat Commission
and subject to their recommendations.
8) All other ordinance requirements shall be met.

TO: THE PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 1982
RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT - LEXINGTON PLACE (U. S. HOMES CORP.)
The Public Works Department has the following information for considera-
tion of approval of the above- referenced plat:
UTILITIES
Water service availability will be provided by a southerly extension of
the water main from the proposed Tomark 2nd Addition or from the existing
18" trunk water main located on the west side of Lexington Avenue extend-
ing north fLuu Duckwood Drive. This 18" trunk water main will have to be
extended south to the limits of this proposed plat to provide for the pro-
per looping of the internal water main necessitated by this development.
A 16" trunk water main will have to be extended along Duckwood Drive from
Lexington Avenue to the east portion of this plat as a part of this de-
velopment.
In accordance with the recently updated Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan,
the entire area for the proposed Lexington Place Subdivision is proposed
to obtain the sanitary sewer service through the installation of a lift
station within the Windcrest Addition and an extension of a trunk sani-
tary sewer system from this lift station to Lexington Avenue and Wescott
Road. Laterals from this future trunk system are then intended to be
constructed northerly along Lexington Avenue to ultimately provide ser-
vice for this proposed development. However, at this time, this lift
station and trunk sanitary sewer extension have not been constructed nor
is it in the planning process for the very near future. After detailed
review of the elevations associated with this proposed development, it
has been determined that all of the proposed units of this proposed
plat can obtain temporary gravity sewer service to the north through the
Tcenark Addition into the existing 12" trunk sanitary sewer located along
Yankee Doodle Road. However, when saturation development occurs in the
industrial park, there is limited excess capacity available for this pro-
posed development. Therefore, a preliriinary engineering study has been
performed which indicates that all 672 proposed units could be serviced
with gravity sewer through the Tomark Addition towards Yankee Doodle Road
on a temporary basis until the Windcrest lift station and trunk sanitary
sewer extension occurred sometime in the future. At that time, through
specific detailed design of the sanitary sewer system, approximately 432
units would have their flow redirected to the south into the Windcrest
lift station in accordance with the 1982 Canprehensive Sanitary Sewer
Plan. The remaining 240 units at the north end would permanently drain
toward the north into the existing sewer on Yankee Doodle Road. We feel
that this line could handle this small addition without any future re-
striction on capacity as the industrial, area grows. However, in order
to provide this flexibility, an estimated $35,000 ($50.00 per unit)
would be required to install an auxiliary sanitary sewer line southerly
along Lexington Avenue for this future connection.
Thomas A. Colbert

GRADING AND DRAINAGE
Topography for the proposed development is generally rolling with a
natural divide through the middle of the plat (Duckwood Drive extended).
The drainage to the north lies within the LeMay Lake drainage basin with
surface water runoff being conveyed to that Lake through a series of
intermediate ponds and two future lift stations to be located north of
Yankee Doodle Road and west of Lexington Avenue. Internal storm water
will have to be directed to an onsite pond located in the northeast cor-
ner of this proposed plat (DP -18) which will also provide for the over-
flaw from O'Leary Lake which is presently being constructed under Project
322, Contract 81 -12. With the development of this proposed plat, an out-
let frtxu the pond within Lexington Place will have to be coordinated and
constructed with the internal storm sewer for the Tanark 2nd Addition
which will provide for this drainage to the pond within Outlot D of To-
mark 2nd Addition at the corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington Ave-
nue (DP -10). This pond within the Tomark Addition will have to have its
outlet constructed to the pond (DP -5) located in the northwest corner of
Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington Avenue. If these three ponds are con-
nected by gravity storm sewer, there is sufficient capacity to handle the
proposed Lexington Place development as well as the proposed Tomark 2nd
Addition.
Pond DP -5 in the northwest corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington
Avenue will act as a "third tier" drainage basin providing for ponding
for storm water only when the ponds within the Lexington Place and Tomark
Addition have reached capacity. Therefore, no outlet from DP -5 is anti-
cipated in the near future nor is any extensive ponding easement acquisi-
tion required at this time.
Drainage for the southern portion of the proposed Lexington Place is di-
rected into the Fish Lake drainage basin through a ponding easement for
Hurley Lake which is presently being acquired through condemnation fran
the McCarthy property west of Lexington Avenue. In addition to the in-
ternal storm sewer required for the southern half of this proposed de-
velopment, a storm sewer will have to be installed along Lexington Ave-
nue and then west along Wescott Road to Hurley Lake. Hurley Lake pre-
sently does not have a positive storm sewer outlet, but with the pond -
ing easement presently being acquired and its existing capacity, the
lift station outlet is not anticipated to be required for 3 -4 years.
STREETS
The continuation of Duckwood Drive as a collector street from Lexington
Avenue to the east edge of the plat should be continued as a 44' wide,
9 -ton street with a concrete sidewalk on the north side to the east edge
of this plat similar to the existing Duckwood Drive. Because this plat
requires the construction of a collector road prior to the City's time
schedule for this road's construction, the developer should bear all
costs associated with constructing this street to a collector status
with sidewalks.

Internal looped public streets as proposed provide adequate access to all
proposed lots. The proposed cul- de-sac in the southeast corner is of ac-
ceptable length and does not require a variance and is necessitated due
to the configuration of the property and the topography involved. All
other access to the units will be by private drives and /or parking lots.
The overall proposed street layout provides good accessibility to Lexing-
ton Avenue for this development.
EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
A 55' half right - of-way for Lexington Avenue will be required. Duckwood
Drive should consist of an 80' right-of -way with the other internal streets
being the standard 60' requirement. Internal easements will be required
to provide for proper looping of the water main and sanitary sewer exten-
sions as final details are determined. Pond DP -18 in the northern end of
this plat should provide for a ponding easement incorporating 11.2
acre feet above the proposed controlled water elevation of .876.0. The
outlet from this pond to the north into Tamark will require the acquisi-
tion of an easement across a 16.5' "cartway" strip of land under the ow-
nership of the Carriage Hills Golf Course. Pond JP -45 and JP -42 in the
southern portion of this plat shall provide for 7.8 acre feet and 2.3
acre feet of storage capacity respectively along with a corresponding
ponding easement based on controlled outlet elevations of 890.3 and 887.1
respectively. All other standard easements will be required at the time
of final plat approval.
SITE PLAN
The Engineering Department has no concerns pertaining to the proposed lay-
out of the site plan as adequate access to public rights - of-way are pro-
vided by way of private drives and /or parking lots.
TRAILS /SIDEWALKS
A 5' concrete sidewalk should be installed along the north side of Duck -
wood Drive as a part of this development. An 8' bituminous trailway
should be constructed along the east side of Lexington Avenue within a
10' easement adjacent to the west line of this proposed plat. In addi-
tion, a walkway connection to the southeast corner of this plat should
be provided as indicated by the Advisory Park and Recreation Committee.
ASSESSMENTS
Trunk sanitary sewer and water area assessments have been levied under
Project 58 to the property located on the north side only of the proposed
extension of Duckwood Drive. This parcel (010 -29) will be responsible
for assuming the lateral benefit from trunk water main that presently
exists along Lexington Avenue north of Duckwood Drive. Trunk area storm
sewer assessments should be collected as a condition of final plat ap-
proval for the north half of this proposed development.
Thomas A. Colbert

Page four
For the land located within this proposed plat south of Duckwood Drive,
trunk area sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer will have to be col-
lected as a condition of final plat approval. In addition, all costs
associated with the installation of internal utilities and /or the lat-
eral benefit associated with the extension of the required trunk water
main along Duckwood Drive and Lexington Avenue will be assessed against
this property based on benefit received.
I will be available to discuss in further detail any aspect pertaining
to this report at the Planning Commission Meeting of February 25, 1982.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: PARKS LAND DEDICATION - WILLMUS PROPERTIES
The City has received a preliminary plat application from Willmus Properties.
The proposal is in park service area 28, located north of Mallard Park 2nd
and 3rd additions.
Background: The issue of park land dedication in this service section dates
back several years. In 1977 an application was made for Mallard Park 1st,
2nd and 3rd additions by Mr. Willmus. The three additions encompassed
approximately 68 acres. Mr. Willmus also owned approximately 104 acres
of land to the north of these additions. The initial recommendation of the
Advisory Committee in reviewing the Mallard Park additions was for a park
land dedication.requirement of a "ponding area and minimum 100 foot wide
easement" along the power line. This parks dedication would facilitate
the construction of the high line trail through the community. The committee
recognized that any deficiencies in the dedication requirements were to be
made up in a future parks dedication in the area immediately to the north
of the power line.
From further review of the file material, it is apparent there were numerous
delays in the determination of the final alignment of the trail dedication.
Ultimately, the dedication(title transfer) was made sometime late in 1979.
The final dedication of the trail width was not a uniform distance but
varied from SO' to 100' or more. Total acreage in the easement came to
approximately 9.2 acres. However, because this dedication encompasses
both the ponding area and power line easement, only 50o credit is given,
or credit of approximately 4.6 acres. Consequently, it would appear that
the Mallard Park 1st through 3rd additions are in arrears on park land
dedication of approximately 2.2 acres.
At the time of the initial proposal Mallard Park 1st through 3rd additions
was made, staff and committee reviewed the need for a neighborhood park.
As much of the area is zoned R -4, it was determined that a neighborhood
park would be needed within this service area. As Mr. Willmus owned the
surrounding property an "exhibit" was prepared by the developer which
identified the area for a park in future developments. The size of this
park shown on the exhibit was approximately eight (8) acres in size which
corresponded with the remaining land that was zoned R -4. While no specific
agreement was developed, it appears there was indeed an understanding de-
veloped that would provide for this neighborhood park or park dedication
based on the R -4 zoned land, plus any deficiencies in dedication along
the Highline Trail.
Proposed Plat: The proposal currently before the City is to rezone a portion
of the R -4 zoned area - approximately 14 acres to CFC. Consequently, the
parks dedication requirements within this preliminary plat approximates S.3
park acres. (Mr. Willmus also owns an additional tract of land bordered by
Mallard Park 2nd addition, the highline trail and property to the east owned
by Mr. Ed Dunn which is not within the scope of this plat.)

Parks Land Dedication - Willmus Properties - Memo
Page 2
Sub- committee members met on February 18th to review the preliminary
plat and site. Several options were reviewed for the changing of the
proposed park dedication boundaries. Staff reviewed for the sub - committee
that access to the proposed park acreage would be very limited because
of inadequate access. Second, acreage does not provide for sufficient
open space or ball fields and /or informal play areas. Three, the park
acreage is deficient in size.
Status: As of this writing staff is waiting for the developer to confirm
a meeting to review the park land issue and prepare a revision to the
preliminary plat. Assuming this issue can be resolved, staff will be
prepared to present a proposal at the March 4th meeting.

Re: Preliminary Plat - Willmus Park
As you have requested, I have put into a letter form some of the City's
concerns as we discussed at our meeting of March 1st regarding the parks
dedication for Willmus Park.
First, it would appear that the Willmus Park 1st, 2nd and 3rd additions
are in arrears of approximately 2.2 acres in their parks dedication to the
City. This number was derived by the following caculations. The Mallard
Park 1st, 2nd, and 3rd additions consisted of approximately 68 acres of
development. This would have meant that there should have been 6.8 acres
of park dedication made to the City. The City did receive a trails and
ponding dedication under the highline corridor which consisted of approxi-
mately 9.0506 acres. (This acreage computation was from a letter dated
March 20, 1978 from Mr. Willmus's attorney - Mr. Lewis L. Anderson in a
letter to City Attorney - Mr. Paul Hauge) This number is somewhat less
than what was apparently dedicated to the City. It's believed a more
accurate number to be approximately 9.2 acres. However, the City has had
a policy which states that only.50% dedication credit is given when such
land is part of a pond and /or underneath the highline trail. Please re-
view the enclosed resolution dated June 1974 which states this policy.
Thus, the 9.2 acres previously dedicated is credited at 4.6. A deficiency
of 2.2 acres in Mallard 1st through 3rd additions. Apparently, you and Mr.
Willmus were not made aware of this defiency in the parks dedication until
just recently. Regretfully this was not communicated to you or Mr. Willmus,
sooner. However, I can understand how it might have happened as a result
of a long delay from the time that the preliminary plat was first prepared
and the actual title transfer.
The second item of concern is that the preliminary plat recently pre-
sented shows the 5.3 acres of proposed parks dedication being separated into
two areas of topographical features that would prohibit the City from develop-
ing a suitable neighborhood park. The City is very concerned that it provide

an open space area of sufficient size and suitability to provide for such
items as ball field(s), soccer field, tennis courts and a broad range of
park amenities that fall into the neighborhood park category. An exhibit
was prepared at one time showing suitable open space for a neighborhood
park within the property owned by Mr. Willmus that would provide for these
park amenities in an open, level space of sufficient size.
Third, the preliminary plat presented does not provide sufficient
access to the park except through the apartment building's parking lots.
The City feels that it must have some nearby public road access to the
park to allow neighborhood users from nearby additions to find the park.
In summation, the three issues in regards to park dedication are:
Deficiencies in acres from the Mallard Park 1st, 2nd, and 3rd additions,
the necessity to provide sufficient, level space for park facilities
and three, access to the park for nearby residents.
Please feel free to contact me at anytime for discussion of the
various alternatives. The City is willing to co- operate with you in
resolving the park issue in order to expedite the preliminary plat.

FROM: DOROTHY PETERSON, RECREATION PROGRAMMER
RE: WINTER SKATING
March 1982
Background: Prior to the 1980 -81 season, the department instituted a
classification system for its outdoor skating rinks. Generally, the
purpose of the three class system was to match resources of the
department to the needs and expectations of the general skating public
and hockey associations.
It is the intent of the department to annually review the attendance and
of the skating program to see if there results is a need to change the
classification of rinks, provide improved service through staff /equipment
improvements or to reduce levels of service.
Staff has made its own personal observation of the rinks throughout the
season as well as reviewed the recorded attendance. The warming house
attendants generally recorded attendance with sufficient frequency to
accurately portray attendance patterns. Records at two sites are dis-
appointingly incomplete. However, a feel for attendance at those sites
can be obtained from the program supervisors.
In assessing the skating season it must be noted that the frequent snows,
arctic air masses and extreme wind chills that necessitated closing the
warming houses regularly affected the attendance at sites that rely on
the casual skater more drastically than the scheduled sites.
Rahn Park: The attendants did not differeniate between free skaters and
hockey players. They were very consistant, however, in recording the
number of people present at the designated times.
1. During Christmas vacation and on week -ends over the course of the
7 weeks of the data a high of 70 and low of 5 skaters were present
at 12 :30 P.M. The average attendance for that time slot is 30
skaters.
2. At 5 :00 P.M. daily when no organized hockey is scheduled the average
attendance is 30 skaters also. The most ever present at 5 :00 P.M.
was 62, the least 5.
3. At 7:30 P.M. when hockey practices are in progress 95 was the highest
single count, 5 the lowest. An average number of skaters at 7 :30 P.M.
has been 50.
4. In terms of community reaction to the amount of hockey scheduled into
the site, the department has received two phone calls from individuals
not in agreement. One individual's needs were met when it was re-
affirmed to her that hockey was not to be played on the pleasure
rink.
Well Site: Attendance at the Well Site was adversely affected by the cold
weather. The scenes of 1981 and 100+ skaters was not repeated.
1. During Christmas vacation the largest group of skaters present was
at 7 :30 P.M.; averaging 16 free skaters and 20 hockey players. By
contrast, at 12 :30 P.M. the average was 7 free skaters and 13 hockey
players.
2. During January and into February the rink could only be open on two

week -ends. Attendance on January 30 -31 averaged 20 to 40 people
present at the times recorded compared to 15 to 20 on February
6 when the weather was cold.
3. Very few zero's in attendance were recorded; usually for free skaters,
however, hockey players were present.
4. The lower levels of attendance would justify a return to two
attendants only for the site.
Carnelian: Class B
1. Attendance during the first week open was excellent. The average
number of skaters present at 2:30 P.M was 30 and 23 at 7 :30 P.M.
2. The attendance dropped with the onset of cold temperatures to over-
all averages such as 7 free skaters and 10 hockey players at 12 :30
P.M., 5 free skaters and 13 hockey players at 5:00 P.M., zero free
skaters and 16 hockey players at 7 :30 P.M.
3. The largest number of skaters present at any one time during the
season was 42, averages varied from 12 to 23 which is similar to
previous years.
Woodhaven: Class B
1. The first week the rinks were open attendance at Woodhaven was
anticipated with 15 to 35 skaters present during the hours checked.
2. With the cold weather attendance varied any where from 2 free
skaters and 4 -10 hockey players present.
3. The attendance on evenings when broomball is not scheduled is not
significantly higher except for when a hockey practice is scheduled.
4. Attendance at this rink is higher at 5:00 P.M. that at 7:30, the
opposite of other sites.
Pilot Knob: Class B
1. The attendants at Pilot Knob were not consistant in recording the
numbers of skaters present.
2. Where attendance was taken, on good weather days, the usage of Pilot
Knob appears to be better than in previous years. Averages such as
6 -8 free skaters and 5 to 13 hockey players are noted.
3. The largest recorded group present at any one time was 25 skaters.
4. It is hoped that the days in which attendance was not taken do not
equate to zeros.
Lexington: Class C
1. Through out the season, average attendance has been 4 -6 free skaters
and 5 -9 hockey players at the hours recorded.
2. The largest "crowd" was 30 skaters. The more normal pattern is 5 -10
skaters.
3. It has been encouraging to note that the warming house has not been
the neighborhood "hang out" this winter. No incidents of liqour
have been reported as in the past.

March 1981

4. The attendants have reported that frequently no one comes to skate;
this report occured during the cold temperature period in January.
5. The attendants report that the pleasure rink is hardly ever used.
Highview: Class C
1. During the first week open the number of skaters were encouraging;
5 free skaters and 25 hockey players at 2 :30 P.M. the first day.
2. By the 4th day open the numbers of skaters were 1 free and 3 hockey
at 2 :30 P.M. Little change was noted for the balance of the season.
3. The attendants did not consistantly record attendance. Their comments
include; "no one hardly ever comes to skate ", "everyone skates up at
Pilot Knob."
Cedar Pond: Class C Opened on December 19th, closed on February 12th due to
the fact the tractor broke through the ice.
1 The most skaters present at one time all season was 12 at 12 :30 P.M.
on January 30.
2 The attendants recorded the numbers of sliders also; 18 was the most
at one time during Christmas vacation.
3 When there were skaters or sliders present . . . all season long the
averages were 3 to 5 people.
4 The most significant factor is the number of zeros. Early in the
skating season at the hours attendance was recorded the numbers show
zeros on 3 out of 7 days or as high as 4 out of 5 days. In January
the zeros increased to 4 out of 7 days and as high as 9 out of 10
days. The time of day did not matter, no one came.
5 The warming house was not used as a hang out by teen -agers so that
was not a factor in driving skaters away.
Level of Service: While the perspective of the department might be slanted,
it is felt that the goals established for care and maintenance of the rinks
were met and often exceeded. Example: the department had indicated that,
after a snow fall of 4 or more inches, Class A rinks would not be skateable
until the day following the end of the snow fall, and B rinks two days. I'm
pleased to report that, even after the 1st major snow fall of 17 inches, the
department was able to have all of the Class A rinks cleared and all but one
of the Class B facilities available by the next skating day.
Generally, if the department is faced with clearing of from one to two inches
of snow, it now has the capabilies of brooming, shoveling out and flooding
of all Class A and B rinks in one day. Only the two ponds - Bur Oaks and
Cedar may have to wait until the following day before being cleared.
Concerns: Because of the limited attendance and short season caused by the
uncertainity of safe ice for equipment and citizens; the department questions
the need to maintain Cedar Pond rink with an attendant.
Staff would like to discuss with the committee as a whole, or sub - committee,
the concerns and possible alternatives in regards to this situation..

POLICY GUIDELINES
MATCHING GIFTS
At the February 4th, 1982 Advisory Parks and Recreation Committee meeting,
the Advisory Committee adopted the following guideline to be admininstered
at times the department is approached to match gifts for neighborhood
parks and playgrounds:
1. That a memorandum, or petition of acknowledgement, be circulated
within the defined neighborhood, as designated by department
staff, stating the request for the match.
2. Each matching request should be reviewed on its merits. The develop-
ment should be consistent with the established park development plan
or C.I.P.
3 Matching money should be provided so as not to take away from
committments to other parks or developments.
4 An understanding that the "gift" is seen as being something that
may have to be changed, removed, modified, etc., as future park
development occurs or as the equipment ceases to provide the type
of use originally intended.
5 The "gift" is consistent with the City wide systems priority for
development.
6. That dollar amounts may be limited for matching purposes by budget
or circumstances at the time.
Motion to adopt: Masin, seconded by McNeely,
All voted in favor.

MEMO TO: DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: COMMITTEE MEETING - FEBRUARY 18th
The committee has three agenda items to deal with:
February 10, 1982
The committee will be meeting on February 18th, 4:30 P.M. at City Hall
as had been established.
1. Development of objectives for 1982 for the Advisory Committee.
This was requested by the Chairman to be reviewed at the March
meeting.
2. Willmus Development - located in service area 28 - for potential
park land dedication.
3. Review of "Lexington Place" Development proposal of Orrin Thompson.
The committee has previously reviewed this land parcel and
recommended a cash dedication. However, some discussion of the
preliminary plat by the sub - committee seems appropriate at this
time.
If you are unable to attend, or may be late, please advise the office
