ADJOURNMENT • • • Y MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION RE: SEPTEMBER 2 COMMITTEE FETING September 1982 The September meeting of the committee will be preceded by a visit to Blackhawk Park commencing at 6 :30 P.M. A visit to this park is in con- junction with the review of the proposed Blackhawk Oaks preliminary plat which is west of the park. Those that were present at the August 5th committee meeting will recall direction was given to staff and to the developer to determine the feasibility of extending Silver Bell Road through the plat to Blackhawk Park. Members may wish to read the attached material which is a preliminary review performed by Mr. Erkkila and the Director of Parks and Recreation regarding the Blackhawk Park Road access issue and a possible extension of Silver Bell Road. Mr. Larry Frank, who is the planner for Blackhawk Oaks addition will be meeting with the entire committee at 6:30 to review alternatives that have been prepared and will be available to answer committee members questions regarding a potential extension of this road into Blackhawk Park. The regular meeting will commence with the adoption of the agenda and the approval of minutes from July 8, 1982. Since a quorum was not present at the August 5th meeting, acceptance of the minutes that were taken at that meeting are in order. Review of the development proposals that were pre- sented at that time and adoption of the recommendation by the committee are also in order. Please note that the committee will be meeting in the offices of the City Administrator as the City Council chambers are being used at 7 :30 for a informational meeting regarding the upcoming bond referendum for the City Hall expansion. Because this is such an interest to the community and it has a bearing on the Parks and Recreation Department's operation, it was felt that the Advisory Committee meeting could be interrupted for approximately 20 minutes to see and hear the slide presentation which has been prepared as part of the informational packet for the community. The committee will excuse itself after the presentation from the remainder of the public hearing to conclude its regular agenda items. After the review of the three development proposals the committee will proceed with old business. A joint meeting with the City Council regard- ing the parks system plan has been set up. The start of this joint meet- ing will be subject to the conclusion of the public hearing /informational meeting regarding the City Hall expansion and bond issue. It is anticipated that because of the informational meeting is being conducted by the City Administrator and architects, council will be available at a reasonably early hour. A separate agenda has been prepared for this joint meeting which has been attached to this agenda for your review. It is anticipated that the Director of Public Works will be available to make a presentation and request a recommendation from the Advisory Committee regarding the intersection of I -35 E and the highline trail. A separate memo is included in the packet regarding this item for your review. • • • September 2 - Committee Meeting - Memo Page 2 As committee members are aware the director has received word from the State Parks and Recreation Grants Section that the City's preliminary application for athletic field development at Rahn Park has received approval. On August 17th, the City Council approved submission of a final application which is due by October 1, 1982. The Council also authorized city staff to utilize the consulting services of Erikkila and Associates for preparation of the plan documents. Mr. Erkkila has been hired, and is currently working under a separate contract to prepare these plans. City staff and Mr. Erkkila would like to review with members of the Advisory Committee the preliminary concept plans before the final plan documents are complete. As background information staff has pre- sented within the preliminary application a design for four (4) softball facilities with overlay soccer and football fields. In reviewing the over all system plan, and the desirability for compatible athletic fields, it has been determined that some revisions are warranted from the pre- liminary plan. In addition, it will be necessary to review with Mr. Erkkila aspects of the design criteria to insure sufficient space is provided for inclusion of additional features in future years. As requested by the Advisory Committee as a standard practice, the Advisory Committee will review for possible changes the formula for 1983 parks cash dedication requirements. A separate report has been attached for your re- view in regards to this item. The Advisory Committee previously discussed a tour of other communities playground sites. Since the committee has now visited all but three of Eagan's park sites, it's in order for the Advisory Committee to discuss a date for such a tour, if it's still desirable. The Director of Parks and Recreation will be happy to coordinate the tour on either a Saturday or week day evening at the committee's direction. Blackhawk Park P.U.D. - Update. At the last Advisory Committee meeting, committee member Martin requested the planning director to prepare an update of the Blackhawk P.U.D. in terms of the amount of park land that has been received and the development that has taken place within the Blackhawk P.U.D. area. Dale Runkle, City Planner will be available at the next committee meeting for comments on this item. Other Business /Reports: The Department of Parks and Recreation has recently received a contribution from the firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates in the amount of $250.00. It is in order for the Advisory Committee to make recognition of this contribution. The Director of Parks and Recreation will review for the Advisory Committee a bfief report on the summer programs as prepared by the recreational programmer. Questions committee members may have regarding the proposed City Hall addition and the impact on parks and recreation can be answered at this time. If members are aware that they will not be present at the meeting of the Advisory Committee I request that they again make contact with this office prior to the meeting. Respectfully submitted, Ken Vraa Director of Parks and Recreation REMINDER: Mark your calendar for the annual picnic September 10th - Blackhawk Park. SUBJECT: REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT - BLACKHAWK OAKS APPLICANT: PAUL LARSON LOCATION: PART OF THE Nz OF THE NE1 OF THE NF), SECTION 20 EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 27, 1982 /JULY 29, 1982 DATE OF REPORT: JULY 21, 1982 REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER APPLICATION SUBMTrrr;U The first application submitted is a request to rezone approximately 13 acres from A (Agricultural) to PD (Planned Development District) to allow 16 townhouse units and 9 single family lots in part of the N1 of the NE; of the NEs, Section 20. The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat approval - Blackhawk Oaks, which would contain approximately 13 acres and consist of 16 town- house lots and 9 single family lots located in the N1/2 of the NE 1/4 of the NE 4, Section 20. ZONING AND LAND USE Presently, the parcel is zoned A (Agricultural) and would only allow one dwelling unit per 5 acres. The Comprehensive Land Use Guide designates this parcel as R -1 (Residential Single District) with a density of 0 - 3 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development plan has a net density of 2.39 dwelling units per acre, which is within the R -1 density range, even though the development plan is not all single family dwelling units. CM= CITY OF EAGAN In review =ing this development plan, the area to the south is developed as single family lots. Riverton Drive has been stubbed to the property in the southeast corner to provide access to this particular parcel. The area to the north is still relatively undeveloped. Blackhawk Park abuts the parcel on the east and Blackhawk Road borders the property on the west. The applicant has proposed to continue Riverton Drive as a curvilineal street, which would terminate at and make a four -way intersection at Blackhawk Road and Silverbell Road. The proposed street plan provides good public access for this particular parcel and allows additional access for the people in the Cedar Grove area to the south. The applicant is also proposing to provide a private drive which mould be a loop street tying in from Blackhawk Road to the extension of Silverbell Road or Riverton Drive. This private drive would have two accesses and provide good traffic circulation for the sixteen townhouse units. It is Staff's understanding that the private drive will be a CITY OF EAGAN PAUL LARSG1 JULY 27, 1982 PAGE TWO rmnimurn of 24 feet wide and there is a minimum of a 20 foot setback for this private drive. The townhouse portion contains 3.96 acres of which .36 acres is contained with the private drive. The net acres for the multiple is 3.6 and would have a density of 4.4 dwelling units per acre. The lot coverage in the townhouse portion is 11.3 %. The single family lots will contain approximately 7.64 acres and will contain 9 lots. The smallest lot within the single family area is 18,700 sctuare feet, which is well in excess of the mini/nm► lot size for an R -1 (Residential Single District). Presently, there is an existing house on the 13 acre parcel. This house will be platted as Lot 1, within the single family district. The greatest concern on the development proposal is in regard to providing adequate easements for the extension of Riverton Drive or Silverbell Road on the north portion of the plat. It is Staff's understanding that the applicant will have to work with the adjoining property owner to be able to provide adequate road right- of-way to provide access to this development proposal. If this right -of -way cannot be obtained, the developer will have to redesign the plat which would have to shift the road southerly to have the sixty foot right - of-way within the parcel under consideration at this time. If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. That a planned development agreement and development agreement be executed prior to the final plat approval of Blackhawk Oaks. 2. A homeowner's association and by -laws shall be reviewed by City Staff prior to final plat approval. 3. A landscape plan shall be submitted and reviewed for the townhouse portion of Blackhawk Oaks and an adequate landscape bond shall be provided and not released until one year after the landscaping has been completed. 4. Adequate right - of-way shall be dedicated to the City with the final plat in order to provide a sixty foot right-of-way for the extension of Riverton Drive or Silverbell Road extension. 5. No more than 16 townhouse units and 9 single family lots shall be allowed for this development proposal. 6. The plat shall be subject to the park dedication fees as requested by the Advisory Park Committee. 7. All easements shall be dedicated as requested by City Staff. mar ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS 8. Internal storm sewer lateral facilities will have to be extended to its ultimate outlet into Blackhawk Lake. 9. Internal private drive shall be a minimum 24 feet in width with concrete curb and gutter. 10. All required public rights-of -way, including the extension of Silverbell Road, must be acquired and dedicated as a part of the final plat or prior to the installation of streets and utilities. 11. A 40 foot half right- of-way should be dedicated for Blackhawk Road as a part of the final plat. • • MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER • • FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT OF BLACKHAWK OAKS ADDITION The Public Works Department has the following comments to offer for the consideration of the above referenced plat: UTILITIES Sanitary Sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth to handle this proposed development exists both to the west on Silver Bell Road and to the south on Riverton Avenue. The existing sanitary sewer on Silver Bell Road would have to be extended approximately 185 feet east to the west boundary of this proposed plat. This would involve crossing Blackhawk Road. Water main of sufficient pressure and capacity to handle this proposed development exists both in the northwest corner of this proposed plat at Blackhawk Road and on the southeast corner of this proposed plat on River- ton Avenue. Consequently, no extension of either trunk or lateral water main will be required to serve this proposed development. Internal lateral distribution of sanitary sewer and water main will then have to be installed, according to City standards, to provide individual service to the proposed development. GRADING /DRAINAGE The general topography in this parcel consists of hills and depressions with the general drainage being overland towards the north and Blackhawk Lake. Approximately ninety (90) feet of fall exists from the northern edge of this parcel to Blackhawk Lake. The preliminary grading plan calls for draining a low point along the northern boundary of this parcel to ponding area located between Lots 1 and 2. This ponding area would appear to be constructed in existing low area. From this ponding area, the overflow would pass under the road through a culvert and outlet in the northwest corner of Lot 9. From here, it would have to flow overland across Lot 8 and north until it reaches Blackhawk Lake. As can be seen by the attached subdistrict storm sewer drainage map, the entire parcel is intended to drain north to Blackhawk Lake. Consequently, this drainage should have little, if any, effect upon Blackhawk Lake, especially since it has a positive storm sewer outlet as constructed under Project 297. My concern arises from the pond overflow being discharged on Lot 9 and flowing across Lot 8. The pond overflow should be directed from this proposed development via storm sewer. All storm sewer con- struction can be accomplished without any additional trunk or lateral lines. Blackhawk Oaks Addition Engineering Report Page Two EASEMENTS & RIGIiT OF WAY A sixty (60) foot right of way would have to be dedicated for a portion of the street located within the boundaries of the preliminary plat. It should be noted that a portion of the proposed street lies outside of the preliminary plat. This portion of the street right of way should be acquired by the developer, either by means of purchase or easement. This should be prior to the submission of the final plat. A ponding easement would have to be dedicated for the proposed internal ponding area located between Lot 1 and Lot 2. In addition, all necessary internal utility easements required for the internal utility distribution would be compulsory at the time of the final plat. STREETS Access to this proposed development would be Blackhawk Road along the west and from Riverton Avenue on the south. Private drives in Blackhawk Oaks Second Addition shall be a minimum of 2% feet wide with concrete curb and gutter. Furthermore, the dead end private drive should be looped back into Riverton Avenue, maintaining a 75 foot setback from Blackhawk Road. Should the developer wish to dedicate these streets, they must be increased to the standard 60 foot requirements for public right of way. ASSESSMENTS All costs associated with providing internal streets and utilities to service this development would be the responsibility of this development and the adjacent property to the north based on proportionate frontage and benefit received. TRAILS & SIDEWALKS Since Riverton Avenue will not be a collector road, no trails or sidewalks will be required. In addition, no sidewalk will be required along Black - hawk Road for the reason that sidewalk is in place along the west side of Blackhawk Road. I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Planning Commission at their meeting on July 27, 1982. Respectfully submitted, Richard M. Hefti, P.E.

TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE FROM: TIM ERKKILA /KEN VRAA RE: PRELIMINARY REVIEW; BLACKHAWK PARK ACCESS ISSUES (Related to Blackhawk Oaks Development Proposal) At the request of the city, Erkkila & Associates has undertaken a review of the access issues related to the Blackhawk Oaks residential proposal now before the city. Without the benefit of a useage plan for the park, the access recommendations must be considered as only generalizations. However, given the need to consider the Blackhawk Oaks proposal at this time, the following recommendations are made. EVALUATION METHOD To develop an access recommendation, a comparison of alternative entry points is proposed. Generally, three locations are likely: 1) The proposed north entry (the extension of Silver Bell Road) 2) The existing entries off Riverton (at Davenport and Palisade) 3) The proposed south /east entry from Deerwood. OPTIMAL ENTRY CONCEPTS The future size and shape of Blackhawk Park is subject to additional negoti- ations and acquisition. However, the city land use plan suggests that the park may take a long, east to west configuration. To serve a large, lineal park it is very likely to expect an internal road /trail shall be constructed. Two access points off different ends of the park or one access point coming directly in to an internal "loop" road would be the typical way to serve a park of this shape. An access from Deerwood and one from Riverton near Silver Bell would be the most likely ways to bring users into the park. A single entry which is centrally located would either have to split in two directions to serve the east and north area or as a centralized parking area it would be perhaps 3/8 to 11 mile from some use areas. Topography in Blackhawk Park may prevent development of any internal loop roads or any large parking areas. More likely, are a pair of cul -de -sacs or a drive through road with scattered parking areas. EXISTING (CENTRAL) ACCESS VS. ANY OTHER ACCESS The existing access at Palisade and perhaps Davenport in the future would in- volve the extension of these two "stubbed in" streets. Neither location seems well suited to become a major entry for three reasons: 1. Both are only local access streets (60' wide) with indirect access to a collector (Blackhawk). 2. The streets between Blackhawk and the park are winding streets lined with single family homes and frequently children playing in the street area. 3. Where either of the two streets enter the park, additional roads to both the north and east might be necessary to serve the desire for proximity to the west or east portions of the park. • • Since any other access at the north or east end is through a yet undeveloped area, issues 1 and 2 could be overcome through planning. A response to issue 3 is addressed in the section titled "Optimal Entry Patterns." NORTH VS. SOUTH ACCESS In comparing the value of a north access (Silver Bell) to one from the south- east (Deerwood) both have several positive and negative aspects. The Silver Bell access is potentially achievable in the immediate future, while the Deerwood access may be years off. Further, since a future Deerwood access will need to be planned into the redesign of the Blackhawk North P.D. and the agricultural land immediately to the south of the park there is no cer- tainty that this long park access road can be designed to be totally accept- able to all involved. In the long term, Blackhawk Road will be a Community Collector while Deer - wood will only be a Neighborhood Collector. As presently proposed, however, the Silver Bell extension will have driveways fronting on it and will only include 60' of right of way. A future south entry may be wider and may have less conflicts with driveways. RECOMMENDATION The Silver Bell extension appears to be desirable for the following reasons: 1. It is superior to the Palisade or Davenport access possibilities due to its direct linkage to Blackhawk Road. 2. It is a solution which could be achieved in the near future and have a long term value. 3. Adjustments to the proposed development in Blackhawk Oaks may be necessary to achieve a satisfactory entry road. RESERVATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS 1. Silver Bell should be built as a dedicated street with enough right of way for a trailway along one side at least. 2. The Silver Bell Road extension should be a direct link into the park (with- out excessive curvature or driveway access points). 3. At the point of entry into the park, the road alignment and elevation should be sensitive to its future extension as a park road. 4. A future access off of Deerwood is still desirable. A Deerwood access may actually become the major entry in the future, with the proposed Silver Bell access becoming secondary point of entry. 5. The Palisade and Davenport Roads could continue to provide potential pedestrian and bicycle access from Riverton into the park. • SUBJECT: REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT - BRITTANY 4TH ADDITION APPLICANT: WILLIAM DOLAN LOCATION: OU LOT A, BRITTANY MANOR EXISTING ZONING: R -2 (RESIDENTIAL DOUBLE DISTRICT) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 27, 1982 /JULY 29, 1982 DATE OF REPORT: JULY 21, 1982 REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER APPLICATIONS SUBMI1TED The first application submitted is a request to rezone approximately 6.75 acres from R -2 (Residential Double District) to PD (Planned Development District) to allow 18 single family lots. The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat approval for Brittany 4th Addition which consists of approximately 6.75 acres and will contain 18 single family lots. ZONING AND LAND USE CITY OF EAGAN Presently, the parcel is zoned R -2 (Residential Double District) and would allow only duplex or twin home units within this area. In the original plat approved in 1979, the applicant has received rezoning and preliminary approval for 10 duplex buildings or 20 individual units. The Land Use Guide designates this area as R -1 (Residential Single District) with a density of 0 - 3 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is proposing 18 single family units which would have a net density of 2.96 dwelling units per acre, which also would be in accordance with the land use desig- nation. COMMENTS The applicant is proposing to rezone Outlot A or the 6.75 acres from R -2 (Residential Double District) to PD (Planned Development District) to allow 18 single family units. The reason for the Planned Development zoning is that 9 of the 18 single family lots are under the 12,000 square foot requirement and the only provisions for smaller single family lots is through the Planned Development process in order to go below the 12,000 square foot minimum requirement. On March 6, 1979 the City Council approved the preliminary plat for Brittany Manor and rezoning from Agricultural to R -1 and R -2 in which Outlot A was zoned for 10 duplex buildings or 20 units with access provided by the same cul -de -sac as proposed within this current plan. Therefore, the only change in the plat is the reconfiguration of the lot lines in order to provide 18 single family houses. CITY OF EAGAN WILLIAM DOLAN JULY 27, 1982 PAGE TWO If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. The preliminary plat should be subject to Dakota County Plat Commission's review and comment because it abuts Johnny Cake Ridge Road. 2. The development agreement shall be signed prior to the final plat of Brittany 4th Addition. 3. Park dedication shall be provided as recommended by the Advisory Park Committee. 4. All easements shall be dedicated as requested by City Staff. 5. All access to the lots shall be provided fran the cul- de-sac with no direct access onto Johnny Cake Ridge Road. 6. A planned development.agreerment shall also be required in that no more than 18 single family dwelling units shall be allowed within Brittany 4th Addition. DaVbar ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS 7. An internal storm sewer system shall be constructed with the outlet constructed to the controlled water elevation of Pond LP -4. 8. A minimum 15 foot utility easement shall be required for the trunk water main looping to the Johnny Cake Ridge 1st Addition. 9. This development shall accept it's assessment for lateral benefit from trunk sanitary sewer at the rates in effect at the time of final plat approval. • • Preliminary • BRITTANY 4th ADDITION • 4 4 U .10._ 7 It SSo ar .,0 4' G'S •F 1.,350 tr -J WILLIAM C.

RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER APPLICATION SUBMITTED An application has been submitted requesting preliminary plat approval, Sheffield Addition, consisting of approximately 11.36 acres and containing 44 small single family lots located in part of the Eh of the SEa of Section 26. ZONING AND LAND USE Presently, the parcel is zoned R -2 (Mixed Residential) with a density between 3 and 6 dwelling units per acre under the Lexington South Planned Development. The land use guide designates this parcel as R -1 (Single Family Residential) with a density of 0 -3 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development contains 3.8 dwelling units per gross acre and 4.65 dwelling units per net acre. Therefore, the develop- ment proposal is higher than what is designated on the land use guide but is with- in the density approved in the Lexington South Planned Development. COMMENTS Since Wilderness Run Road has been extended to Dodd and utilities have been in- stalled, there has been development activity occurring along the Wilderness Run Road extension. The first developments to occur were Canterbury Forest and Wedg- wood Addition which were platted by Dunn and Curry. Gerald Lagro has preliminary plat approval of Oakwood Heights, a townhouse development which is directly north of this particular parcel. To the north and east of Oakwood Heights, Sienna Cor- poration has platted an Addition called, Northview Meadows, which consists of small single family lots and twin home lots. Sheffield Addition is directly south of the preliminary plat of Oakwood Heights and directly east of Wedgwood Addition. To the south, Lakewood Hills is one of the older residential developments in the City. Sheffield Addition is being proposed as 44 small single family lots. The small- est lot size in Sheffield is 7,500 square feet and the largest lot contains 19,800 • square feet. The applicant is proposing to provide narrow single family lots which would be comparable to what Sienna Corporation did in Northview Meadows. Sheffield Addition is proposing an average of 50' lot widths as compared to 60' widths in Northview Meadows. It is staff's understanding that the applicant has CITY OF EAGAN SHEFFIELD ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT AUGUST 24, 1982 PAGE TWO 2. No Variances for side setbacks or lot coverage be approved unless related to trees or topographic hardship for the particular lot. building plans for each of the lots where the homes constructed would meet setbacks and lot coverage for each of the particular lots. The access to Sheffield Addition will be a looped street tieing into Wilderness Run Road at two locations. The westerly access is directly across from the westerly access of Oakwood Heights. The easterly access does not exactly line up with the easterly access of Oakwood Heights. As you can see by the exhibit, if the easterly road in Sheffield is slid further to the east and the easterly access to Oakwood Heights is slid slightly to the west, they will be able to get the two accesses in alignment. The circulation for Sheffield is provided by a looped street. The only concern regarding the looped street is some of the narrow frontages of the lots which appear on the curves in the street; the widths at sane of these curves go down to 37' and 32' on the eyebrow. If two lots would be removed, the appli- cant would be able to obtain 50' lot widths throughout the entire snh91vision. Through the planned development process, the City of Eagan has allowed smaller than 12,000 square foot single family lots in a planned development. This parti- cular parcel is in the Lexington South Planned Development, therefore, the zon- ing would allow smaller lot sizes. However, the minimum lot size has not been determined for a single family lot. Wedgwood Addition directly east has 70 -75' lot widths and containsapproximately 9,000- 10,000 square feet of area. North - view Meadows which is north and east of this proposed plat has 60' lot widths and lot area between 7,200 -7,500 square feet for single family lots. The lot area in Sheffield, as mentioned above, ranges between 7,500 square feet to 19,000 square feet, but the lot width averages 50'. The lot widths for particular sub- divisions have been determined by building plans and to insure the City that single family hares can be constructed on the particular lot and still adhere to the setback requirements in accordance with Ordinance 52. It is staff's under- standing that the developer will provide this information at the public hearing to demonstrate that the house plans will meet the ordinance criteria. If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. A development agreement be completed prior to the final plat approval of Sheffield. 3. The easterly access of the looped street be shifted westerly in order to obtain a 4-way intersection with the access of Oakwood Heights. 4. No direct access should be allowed from Wilderness Run Road. 5. A blanket variance or deviation would be allowed to create the smaller single family and duplex lots in accordance with the planned development.

RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER ilA DATE: AUGUST 18, 1982 RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT OF SHEFFIELD ADDITION The Public Works Department has the following comments for consideration of the above- referenced plat. UTILITIES Existing utilities available for this plat are located within Wilderness Run Road and consist of trunk water main and trunk sanitary sewer. Both the trunk water main and trunk sanitary sewer were constructed under Project 241 "Wilder- ness Run Road Trunk Utilities" and accepted in July, 1980. Consequently, the existing sanitary sewer is of sufficient size, capacity and depth to handle this proposed development. Likewise, the existing water main incorporates sufficient pressure and capacity to support this proposed development. GRADING/DRAINAGE The general topography of this area consists of a large knoll with mild slopes falling away from the highpoint, located on Lots 7 and 8 of Block 1. This sloping provides for drainage to the east and Pond LP -61, to the north and Wild- erness Run Road and southwest to Pond LP -50. The proposed grading plan main- tains this general drainage pattern as can be seen from the attached maps. The proposed grading plan provides for filling Lots 1 and 2, 6 -11, and 22 -27, Block 2 and Lot 14 in Block 1 with material taken from the street right- of-way and ad- jacent areas along Lots 1 -11 of Block 1 and Lots 12 -20 and 28 -30, Block 2. This grading will result in two low points in the proposed street which will require construction of a small amount of storm sewer to remove the run off collected at those points. Neither of these instances would pose any problems. EASEMENTS AND RIGHT -OF -WAY Utility easements between Lots 2 and 3 and Lots 26 and 27 of Block 2 would be required for the proposed storm sewer. The water main and sanitary sewer can be constructed within the dedicated street right -of -way, thus no additional ease- ments would be required. Furthermore, a condition of this plat should include dedicating either 40' or 80' of Wilderness Run Road for street and utility pur- poses depending upon the amount of right -of -way dedicated by the Oakwood Heights development. STREETS Ingress and egress will be provided for this development by means of a looped street connecting to Wilderness Run Road. One concern that arises here is that the easterly intersection at Wilderness Run Road is offset approximately 100' westerly of the proposed intersection of the private drive for the Oakwood Heights development. It would be desirable for these intersections to be direct- ly across from one another. This could probably be best accomplished by shifting the easterly street in this development further east, and at the same time, shift • 1 • RMH /jack • Engineering Report - Sheffield Addition August 24, 1982 Page two the easterly street of the Oakwood Heights development further west so that the end result is that both streets line up across from each other. Since this proposed street is not a collector street, no bike trails or sidewalks will be required. In addition, no sidewalk or bike trail will be required along Wilderness Run Road for the reason that a bike trail will be constructed on the north side of Wilderness Run Road with the Oakwood Heights development. ASSESSMENTS As a condition of this preliminary plat approval, this development shall accept any assessments levied and assigned to it. I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Planning Com- mission at their meeting on August 24, 1982. Respectfully submitted, 1 Richard M. Hefti, '.E.

COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: AUGUST 27, 1982 RE: I- 35E/HIGHLINE TRAIL CROSSING COUNTY ROAD 32 (CLIFF ROAD) SIDEWALK C NSTRUCTION There has been continuous ongoing discussion pertaining to the continuation of the Highline Trail and the impact created by the progression of I -35E. The fol- lowing tents are a brief background summary and the most recent status re- quiring direction /action from the City of Eagan. BACKGROUND INFORMATION During 1980, construction of the Highline Trail from Pilot Knob Road to Nicols Road was completed under Contract 79 -4 (Project 230) with the exception of that portion between Woodgate Lane and Blackhawk Road which lies within the I -35E corridor. During 1979 and 1980, there were several discussions between the City and MnDOT pertaining to the proposed trailway crossing of the I -35E corri- dor. The end result recommended by the City and preliminarily accepted by MnDOT was to provide a 16' wide trailway overpass over I -35E. During the fall of 1981 and early 1982, the Federal government revised their guidelines for Interstate funding and cost participation. One of the areas affected by these revised guidelines was the elimination of separate detached trailway crossings across Interstate right -of -way from inclusion within Interstate construction funds. The funds allocated for such construction were to be obtained through a "4 -R" funding program. These are funds allocated to the States by the Federal govern- ment for a variety of maintenance, repair, restoration, renovation, etc. of ex- isting Interstate systems. Consequently, our proposed Highline Trail bridge crossing was placed in the "4 -R" funding category with a more limited supply of funds available and a stronger list of competitive needs throughout the entire State. As a part of the construction of I -35E and its crossing with Blackhawk Road, there will be a 4 -lane bridge constructed for the realignment of Blackhawk Road which will provide for a 10' trailway crossing on the west side of the bridge and a 6' sidewalk crossing on the east side of the bridge. When the elimina- tion of the separate trailway crossing was strenuously objected to by City staff, the Federal government conceded that this is an existing trailway corridor that must be propagated across the freeway crossing. Therefore, they have indicated that it would be more economically to reroute the trailway southwesterly along the noise berm constructed along the west side of the Eden Addition (east side of I -35E) and to make use of the existing trailway and sidewalk crossings of the future relocated Blackhawk Road bridge to be constructed. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS • Recently, the City requested MnDOT to restudy the situation to see if there wasn't any possible way to maintain a separate trailway crossing over I -35E without rerouting the trail line 1/4 of a mile south. Their response was that if the proposed 10' trailway was eliminated fran the Blackhawk Road bridge super structure and its related trail connections to our existing Highline Trail • ADVISORY PARK AND RECREATION COMMI AUGUST 27, 1982 THOMAS A. COLBERT MEMO PAGE TWO POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION 1. Where originally the City of Eagan was led to believe that a 16' separate • trailway bridge was to be constructed over I -35E at no cost to the City, it has now come down to a proposed 11' bridge crossing at an estimated cost of $50,000 to the City. 2. The Engineering Division questions the minimum 11' width for all- purpose trail corridor that would be enclosed within a chain link "tunnel" 300' long for 2 -way traffic. 3. If the 10' trailway bridge crossing were eliminated from the Blackhawk bridge, it would eliminate the proposed 10' trail to be constructed along the west side of Blackhawk Road from County Road 30 to County Road 32. Presently, the Engineering Division is proposing to construct a 10' trail - way along the west side of Blackhawk Road and a 6' sidewalk along the east side of Blackhawk Road between County Road 30 and County Road 32. • were eliminated, that the cost savings (.$221,000) would be approximately equal to constructing a separate 11' wide separate trailway crossing over I -35E. This separate trailway crossing would be a totally chain link fence enclosure approxi- mating 300' long. When the Engineering Division indicated a desire to pursue this consideration further, MnDOT informally reviewed this proposal with the Federal government. The Federal government indicated they could concur with this due to it not requiring any additional expenditures. However, they indicated that all costs must be taken into consideration in determining the equality of the two alternates. This means that MnDOT must include the cost of redesigning the Blackhawk bridge crossing to eliminate the 10' wide trailway along the west side due to the fact that these plans have already been designed, prepared and are ready to be advertised for bids the 1st of November. MnD(7I' estimated that this redesign cost will approximate $50,000. MnDOT is now requesting whether the City of Eagan would be willing to absorb these costs in order to have a separate trailway crossing facility over I -35E. ACTION REQUIRED Because of the pending advertisement for bids for the construction of the Black - hawk Road bridge crossing, MnDOT must receive the City's intentions pertaining to our desire for cost participation or relocation of the continuation of our Highline Trail through the I -35E corridor. If the Blackhawk Road bridge is to be redesigned, its bid letting will be delayed from the 1st of November until early spring of 1983. • ADVISORY PARK AND RECREATION AUGUST 27, 1982 THOMAS A. COLBERT MEMO PAGE THREE B. CL1r r ROAD SIDEWALK The other major item for consideration by the City pertains to the construction of a concrete sidewalk along the north side of Cliff Road. Presently, MnDCYI' is proposing to provide a 6' sidewalk between Blackhawk Road and Rahn Road as a part of the Interchange construction of I -35E with Cliff Road which is proposed to be let the 1st of November, 1982. In order for MnDor' to construct this side- walk installation, the Federal government requires concurrent construction by the City of Eagan from the end of NnDOT construction to a logical termini. This would require the City of Eagan to construct a sidewalk continuing westerly from Rahn Road to the Cedar Avenue Freeway. This has preliminarily been estimated at a cost of approximately $27,000. If the City does not proceed with this "con- current" construction of sidewalk along the north side of Cliff Road, MnDOr' will still construct a 6' sidewalk crossing over the bridge structure and provide a "bench" for future sidewalk construction between Rahn Roac and Blackhawk Road. However, in order for them to continue with their proposed sidewalk construc- tion, it will require a cost participation fran the City of Eagan of approxi- mately $22,000 to have the sidewalk constructed as a part of MnDOT's project or else it will be a 100% City responsibility at a later date. With the recent construction of a 10' trailway by Dakota County along the south side of Cliff Road, the staff questions whether a sidewalk along the north side of Cliff Road remains necessary in addition to the City's Highline Trail which will have access via Blackhawk Road. It is desirable to have the Advisory Park and Recreation Committee review this situation to pass on a recommendation for City Council consideration at their regular meeting of September 7 so that a proper response to both issues can be forwarded to MnDOT in their required time frame. If further clarification would be desired pertaining to these latest developments, I will be happy to attend the Park Committee meeting on September 2, 1982 to discuss in further detail. Respectfull submitted, arras A. Colbert, P.E. Director of Public Works TAC/jach cc - Thomas L. Hedges, City Administrator • MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION RE: ANNUAL REVIEW - PARKS DEDICATION FEE September 1982 Background.: The Advisory Parks and Recreation Committee has previously established as an annual process a review of the parks dedication fees for modification which might be implemented with the beginning of the ensuing calendar year. Staff has been directed to prepare this years up- date for the committee. The last increase in the parks cash dedication was in 1981 when the City Council approved the parks committee's recommendation to increase the cash dedication amount to $400.00 per single family, $332.00 per townhouse unit and $252.00 for apartment units. That formula is based on a cost per acre of $10,000.00. This increase, effective January of 1982 was an increase from the previous parks dedication formula based at $7,500.00 per acre. This per acre cost, when the formula was applied, produced cash dedication requirements of $300.00 per single family, $250.00 per townhouse, and $187.00 for apartment units. In 1981 the Advisory Parks and Recreation Committee reviewed recent land sales to assist in determining the average per acre cost. During last year there were eleven recent and significant land purchases for the committee to review. In preparing this years list of land sales, staff has only been able to identify four. (4) significant purchases. One of which (Comsery site) was a sale for industrial usage. Consequently, because of this usage and the size of the acreage involved, this land sale is not being considered. Staff has also talked with Mr. John Hankinson of the Sienna Corporation re- garding three of the sales which were within the Lexington South P.D. This included the Hilltop Estates, the proposed Shefield addition, and the Oakwood Heights addition. Mr. Hankinson commented that during the last 12 to 18 months land prices have not increased significantly because of high interest rates and a depressed housing market. He indicated that as before most un- improved land sells from between $8,000 and $9,000 zoned for single family, R -2 from $9,000 to $11,500 and R -3 and R -4 from $11,500 on up. Again, land costs are significantly impacted by topography, number of units possible per acre, size of the parcel, existing utility assessments and closeness and proximity of sewer and water utilities. Mr. Hankinson offered that the land sales by the Sienna Corporation for the developments previously mentioned, were within the selling ranges previously mentioned. In June of this year a brief survey was conducted by Northwest Consultants concerning park dedication fees and schedules for several selected suburban communities within the metropolitan area. A copy of that survey is attached. In addition to these communities, staff has also recently contacted the communities of Chanhassen and Plymouth. Chanhassen reported that single family units are charged $415.00 and multiple and townhouse units range from $425.00 for a four(4) bedroom unit down to $200.00 for a one(1) bed- room dwelling. Further, the City of Chanhassen charges a recreational • • Annual Review - Parks Dedication Fee - Memo Page 2 charge of $1,035.00 per net developable acre for all commercial, office and industrial property. Plymouth reports their current cash dedication, in lieu of land, is based on a formula with a net per unit cost of approxi- mately $360.00 per dwelling unit. Commercial and industrial is based on 10% of the assessors estimate land value not to exceed $2,000.00 an acre. Staff Comments: Generally speaking it would appear that the Eagan formula for obtaining cash dedication requirements seems to be comparable with most other communities. Limited land sales, with minor or no increase in costs, makes comparison with last years costs difficult. Therefore, if the Advisory Committee is to make a recommendation regarding increase in fees for 1983 it appears that such change be minor. The Advisory Committee may wish to review the information as presented. Staff would be happy to respond to questions in regards to this issue and provide additional information if requested or carry its recommendation to the City Council. • Community Type of Use Burnsville Lakeville Eagan Inver Grove Heights Residential: Commercial: Industrial: Commercial: Industrial: Residential: Commercial: None Industrial: None PARK DEDICATION FEE SCHEDULES FOR SELECT SUBURBAN COMMUNITIES IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA Land Dedication Cash Contribution 10% of gross land area 5% of gross land area 5% of gross land area 10% of Assessor's market value 5% of Assessor's market value 5% of Assessor's market value 2% credit can be granted if on -site recreational amenities are provided.

A visit to this park is in con- junction with the review of the proposed Blackhawk Oaks preliminary plat which is west of the park. Those that were present at the August 5th committee meeting will recall direction was given to staff and to the developer to determine the feasibility of extending Silver Bell Road through the plat to Blackhawk Park. Members may wish to read the attached material which is a preliminary review performed by Mr. Erkkila and the Director of Parks and Recreation regarding the Blackhawk Park Road access issue and a possible extension of Silver Bell Road. Mr. Larry Frank, who is the planner for Blackhawk Oaks addition will be meeting with the entire committee at 6 :30 to review alternatives that have been prepared and will be available to answer committee members questions regarding a potential extension of this road into Blackhawk Park. The regular meeting will commence with the adoption of the agenda and the approval of minutes from July 8, 1982. Since a quorum was not present at the August 5th meeting, acceptance of the minutes that were taken at that meeting are in order. Review of the development proposals that were pre- sented at that time and adoption of the recommendation by the committee are also in order. Please note that the committee will be meeting in the offices of the City Administrator as the City Council chambers are being used at 7:30 for a informational meeting regarding the upcoming bond referendum for the City Hall expansion. Because this is such an interest to the community and it has a bearing on the Parks and Recreation Department's operation, it was felt that the Advisory Committee meeting could be interrupted for approximately 20 minutes to see and hear the slide presentation which has been prepared as part of the informational packet for the community. The committee will excuse itself after the presentation from the remainder of the public hearing to conclude its regular agenda items. After the review of the three development proposals the committee will proceed with old business. A joint meeting with the City Council regard- ing the parks system plan has been set up. The start of this joint meet- ing will be subject to the conclusion of the public hearing /informational meeting regarding the City Hall expansion and bond issue. It is anticipated that because of the informational meeting is being conducted by the City Administrator and architects, council will be available at a reasonably early hour. A separate agenda has been prepared for this joint meeting which has been attached to this agenda for your review. It is anticipated that the Director of Public Works will be available to make a presentation and request a recommendation from the Advisory Committee regarding the intersection of I -35 E and the highline trail. A separate memo is included in the packet regarding this item for your review. i September 2 - Committee Meeting - Memo Page 2 • • As committee members are aware the director has received word from the State Parks and Recreation Grants Section that the City's preliminary application for athletic field development at Rahn Park has received approval. On August 17th, the City Council approved submission of a final application which is due by October 1, 1982. The Council also authorized city staff to utilize the consulting services of Erikkila and Associates for preparation of the plan documents. Mr. Erkkila has been hired, and is currently working under a separate contract to prepare these plans. City staff and Mr. Erkkila would like to review with members of the Advisory Committee the preliminary concept plans before the final plan documents are complete. As background information staff has pre- sented within the preliminary application a design for four (4) softball facilities with overlay soccer and football fields. In reviewing the over all system plan, and the desirability for compatible athletic fields, it has been determined that some revisions are warranted from the pre- liminary plan. In addition, it will be necessary to review with Mr. Erkkila aspects of the design criteria to insure sufficient space is provided for inclusion of additional features in future years. As requested by the Advisory Committee as a standard practice, the Advisory Committee will review for possible changes the formula for 1983 parks cash dedication requirements. A separate report has been attached for your re- view in regards to this item. The Advisory Committee previously discussed a tour of other communities playground sites. Since the committee has now visited all but three of Eagan's park sites, it's in order for the Advisory Committee to discuss a date for such a tour, if it's still desirable. The Director of Parks and Recreation will be happy to coordinate the tour on either a Saturday or week day evening at the committee's direction. Blackhawk Park P.U.D. - Update. At the last Advisory Committee meeting, committee member Martin requested the planning director to prepare an update of the Blackhawk P.U.D. in terms of the amount of park land that has been received and the development that has taken place within the Blackhawk P.U.D. area. Dale Runkle, City Planner will be available at the next committee meeting for comments on this item. Other Business /Reports: The Department of Parks and Recreation has recently received a contribution from the firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates in the amount of $250.00. It is in order for the Advisory Committee to make recognition of this contribution. The Director of Parks and Recreation will review for the Advisory Committee a brief report on the summer programs as prepared by the recreational programmer. Questions committee members may have regarding the proposed City Hall addition and the impact on parks and recreation can be answered at this time. If members are aware that they will not be present at the meeting of the Advisory Committee I request that they again make contact with this office prior to the meeting.

The last increase in the parks cash dedication was in 1981 when the City Council approved the parks committee's recommendation to increase the cash dedication amount to $400.00 per single family, $332.00 per townhouse unit and $252.00 for apartment units. That formula is based on a cost per acre of $10,000.00. This increase, effective January of 1982 was an increase from the previous parks dedication formula based at $7,500.00 per acre. This per acre cost, when the formula was applied, produced cash dedication requirements of $300.00 per single family, $250.00 per townhouse, and $187.00 for apartment units. In 1981 the Advisory Parks and Recreation Committee reviewed recent land sales to assist in determining the average per acre cost. During last year there were eleven recent and significant land purchases for the committee to review. In preparing this years list of land sales, staff has only been able to identify four (4) significant purchases. One of which (Comsery site) was a sale for industrial usage. Consequently, because of this usage and the size of the acreage involved, this land sale is not being considered. Staff has also talked with Mr. John Hankinson of the Sienna Corporation re- garding three of the sales which were within the Lexington South P.D. This included the Hilltop Estates, the proposed Shefield addition, and the Oakwood Heights addition. Mr. Hankinson commented that during the last 12 to 18 months land prices have not increased significantly because of high interest rates and a depressed housing market. He indicated that as before most un- improved land sells from between $8,000 and $9,000 zoned for single family, R -2 from $9,000 to $11,500 and R-3 and R -4 from $11,500 on up. Again, land costs are significantly impacted by topography, number of units possible per acre, size of the parcel, existing utility assessments and closeness and proximity of sewer and water utilities. Mr. Hankinson offered that the land sales by the Sienna Corporation for the developments previously mentioned, were within the selling ranges previously mentioned. In June of this year a brief survey was conducted by Northwest Consultants concerning park dedication fees and schedules for several selected suburban communities within the metropolitan area. A copy of that survey is attached. In addition to these communities, staff has also recently contacted the communities of Chanhassen and Plymouth. Chanhassen reported that single family units are charged $415.00 and multiple and townhouse units range from $425.00 for a four(4) bedroom unit down to $200.00 for a one(1) bed- room dwelling. Further, the City of Chanhassen charges a recreational • • • Annual Review - Parks Dedication Fee - Memo Page 2 charge of $1,035.00 per net developable acre for all commercial, office and industrial property. Plymouth reports their current cash dedication, in lieu of land, is based on a formula with a net per unit cost of approxi- mately $360.00 per dwelling unit. Commercial and industrial is based on 100 of the assessors estimate land value not to exceed $2,000.00 an acre. Staff Comments: Generally speaking it would appear that the Eagan formula for obtaining cash dedication requirements seems to be comparable with most other communities. Limited land sales, with minor or no increase in costs, makes comparison with last years costs difficult. Therefore, if the Advisory Committee is to make a recommendation regarding increase in fees for 1983 it appears that such change be minor. The Advisory Committee may wish to review the information as presented. Staff would be happy to respond to questions in regards to this issue and provide additional information if requested or carry its recommendation to the City Council. • August 18, 1982 MEMO TO: PARKS & RECREATION DIRECTOR, VRAA PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE FROM: RECREATION PRO{RAMMER, PETERSON RE: SUMMER PROGRAMS SUMMER IN THE PARK 138 more children were registered for Summer in the Park this summer compared to 1981 totals. The average daily attendance increased at each playground site; the most significant increases were at Oak Chase and Carnelian. Relief is needed in the Oak Chase area especially; 80 children per day is difficult to handle. Field trips included roller skating, a trip to Cedar Lake Farm, to the Dodge Nature Center and the All Park event. The trips were well received al- though a few were heard to comment that the Dodge Nature Center was too much like school! Playground staff were creative, enthusiastic and conducted excellent pro- grams at all sites. TINY TOT RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES • Registration for Tiny Tots was down slightly from previous years. The groups in Northview School had excellent cooperation from the school district. In order to use Pilot Knob School, the department had the responsibility of opening and closing the school. Janitorial help was not available which created garbage and lavatory cleanliness problems. At Rahn Park, the 4th of July celebration and the rodeo in particular taxed the leader's creativity to ensure the childrens safety and continue to conduct activities of merit during the period of disruption. PLAYWAGON Sites new to the playwagon this year were Coachman Oaks and Blackhawk Park. Each of the new sites had a greater number of children registered and more children in attendance than South Oaks and Country Home Heights, two of the sites served by the playwagon for the third year. None of the playwagon site registration figures demonstrate sufficient numbers of children for a full time playground. RECREATIONAL T -BALL The interest in T -Ball increased significantly from a year ago. The de- partment needs to further adjust the numbers of children per group to ensure adequate numbers despite vacations and warm weather. Indication from leaders is that seven weeks is too long of a session for 6 and 7 year olds. Adjustments will he made in planning for 1983. • Summer Programs - Memo August 18, 1982 Page 2 EAGANE'1'1'kS -FUN WITH Fewer children 87 compared to 108. years, however. TENNIS LESSONS DANCE participated in this program offering than a year ago, A higher per centage were in the recital than in previous The use of Pilot Knob School was difficult at times without janitorial help. Some adjustments will have to be made in this program offering to correspond with changing school use policies. TEEN VOLUNTEER /WORK The maiden voyage of this program offering could be termed a success. All teens involved fulfilled their work contract. Disappointments centered around the inability to form group cohesiveness as had been hoped. Adustments will be made in succeeding years to cope better with the group dynamics . . . or lack of them! The number of class sections offered compared to previous years was re- duced and consequently a higher per centage of classes offered were held. 135 individuals took lessons. GOLF Only one session of golf lessons were held due to the sudden unavailability of the instructor for the second session; 16 individuals were inconvenienced. Session one was full; 40 people took the lessons. EVENING IN THE PARK Attendance at Evening in the Park events was up significantly. Approxi- mately 200 individuals attended the two puppet events. The two band concerts were attended by 150 -175 people. "PICNIC KITS" The picnic kit service is among the most popular offerings of the depart- ment. All available equipment has been out every week -end since Memorial Day and in addition frequent requests have been fulfilled mid -week. The department has several very "tired" volley balls and nets! In addition, picnic tables etc. have been provided to numerous group gatherings in City parks during the summer. One might say that the tables no longer stay in one place long enough to get vandalized anymore! Supportive and positive feedback is received from the community as a re- sult of the "picnic kit" and special event service. BEA BLOMQUIST MAYOR THOMAS EGAN JAMES A. SMITH JERRY THOMAS THEODORE WACHTER CODA g R iS 2 3, 1982 CITY OF EAGAN 3795 PLLOT- ROAD P.O w BOX 21199 EAGAN, MINNE 55122.. THOMAS HEDGES CITY ADMINISTRATOR EUGENE VAN OVERBEKE CITY CLERK PHONE 454-81D0 Advisory Park & Recreation Comrnittee Chairman Roger Martin All Members of the Advisory Park ° jecreation Committee Dear Chairman Martin, Advisory Committee Members and Spouses: On September 14, Eagan residents;rl have the opportunity to vote on a bond referendum for the proposed :..C.ty,. Hall expansion and conversion of the existing City Hall to be used for Fire Administration, ambulance storage and parks and recreation community room. You are closer than most resi- dents to our environment; you are aware that we need more facilities in order to serve our growing community. The City Council, Citizens' Advisory Committee, members of other advisory committees and staff, all working for the City of Eagan, would appreciate your help in passing on the mes- sage to friends, neighbors and residents of our community. We have held informational meetings, public hearings are scheduled before the City Coun- cil, a Citizens' Advisory Committee was appointed to study the proposed expansion plans and City -wide newsletters have been distributed, all of which strongly illustrate the need and support the upcoming referendum. I'd like to remind you briefly of our situation. While we view a national picture of high interest rates and rising unemploy- ment, it is hard to ask the citizens to approve an increase in local property taxes. But Eagan doesn't face the economic hardships that many communities do. Industry and commerce are expanding, providing for an excellent assessed valuation and tax base. Large numbers of new residents increase housing, street miles and business. In order to plan and guide the growth, space is required for offices, records, conference rooms and storage. The proposed expansion would add a second story to the Police Department building for administration, parks and recreation, planning, engineering, building inspection, finance and other services as well as council chambers. The present City Hall would then provide office space for Fire Department administration and training, ambulance service and a community room. The bond referendum amount is $965,000; the estimated increase in a home- owner's tax can be as little as $5.58 a year, or 47¢ a month, based on a yearly tax of $600 after homestead tax credit. Using a highter tax of $1,600 after homestead tax credit, the yearly tax increase is $14.88 a year. At last, the Parks and Recreation Department can join other city services with which it constantly interacts. Not only does the proposal consolidate Parks and Recreation with City Hall, but it provides a separate enterance so that recreation and activities can be carried out when the other offices are closed. Two community rooms, one in joint use with the Fire Department at the existing City Hall and the other located in the basement of the existing Police Department, would be available for group activities. THE LONE OAK TREE ... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY. City of Eagan August 23, 1982 Page Two Consolidating the City Hall offices above the Police Department will make interaction easier and more efficient for the city staff as well as the public. Even with the projected increases in staff, the space requirements of the police will also be met for the next fifteen years with this expansion program. As you are aware, our Fire Department has a drastic need for adminis- tration space. The proposed expansion would provide centralized office space in the old city hall, as well as a training room with the space and facilities for large training groups. This arrangement makes provision for future fire station and storage garages on site to the south side of the existing City Hall. The expansion will not interfere with plans for expansion elsewhere in Eagan as proposed by the planning committee, and the centralized fire administration will provide the department and its members with more visibility. Careful planning and timing are essential parts of this project. In the 1960's, Eagan built and expanded a city hall and its first fire station; two more fire stations, a public works garage and police facility were added in the 1970's. There is no debt to be paid on the present city hall, police facility, fire station #1, public works garage or municipal center site. The expanding community will make space needs even more crucial in the future; now is the time to meet our existing requirements and properly plan ahead for our immediate future needs. I will present slides and answer questions regarding the referendum at the next regularly scheduled Advisory Parks & Recreation Committee meeting. If you have any questions about the proposal and referendum, please bring them to my attention. I urge you to speak to your friends and neighbors as well. The votes of an informed public will help to insure that your community's needs are met. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, ZALQ%, Thomas L.

Parks to be seen are Lakeside, South Oaks, Capricorn, and Wedgewood. Two development proposals are also before the committee. Brittany Manor 4th Addition, is the platting of a cul -de -sac (see packet). This plat should be subject to the cash dedication requirement. Also at issue is the 30' trailway easement north of the cul -de -sac. This trailway was received in contemplation of a trail that would connect with and continue along a 20 foot utility easement. The need for the trailway is in question at this time because the City has since re- ceived a trailway along the Williams Brothers pipe line through the Johnny Cake Ridge Addition. The Blackhawk Oaks preliminary plat is immediately to the west of Blackhawk Park. At the Advisory Planning Commission meeting of July 27, the commission questioned the proposed road alignment, suggesting that access to Blackhawk Park might be desirable. The City has previously indicated that an improved access to the south would be the desired access point. However, staff will be discussing both alternatives with the park consultant for his comments. 411 Enclosed with your packet is the City of Eagan's 1981 annual re- p ort.
