CONTRACT 11 -02, CITYWIDE STREET IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve the plans and specifications for Contract 11 -02 (Citywide Street Improvements) and authorize the advertisement for a bid opening to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 31, 2011. FACTS: • Contract 11 -02 provides for the street improvements of: o Trotters Ridge/ Stafford Place (City Project 1032) o Woodland/ Sunrise Hills (Project 1037) o Engstroms Deerwood (Project 1038) o Hills of Stonebridge ls` (Project 1041) o Bridle Ridge 1 5 ` ( Project 1042) o Blackhawk Pond (Project 1043) as outlined and discussed in the respective feasibility reports for each project. • On February 1, 2011, the City Council held public hearings for Projects 1041, 1042 & 1043. The Council approved the projects and authorized preparation of detailed plans and specifications for the 2011 construction season. • On February 15, 2011, the City Council held public hearings for Projects 1032, 1037 & 1038. After public testimony on Project 1037, the Council approved the projects and authorized preparation of detailed plans and specifications for the 2011 construction season. • These projects are being combined under one contract for economies of scale in the competitive bidding process. The plans and specifications have been completed by the City Engineer and are being presented to the City Council for their approval and authorization for the advertisement of bids. • Minnesota state law allows local agencies to choose a procurement system, termed Best Value Contracting (BVC), as an alternative to the standard low -bid contracting system. The law was advocated by a coalition of labor organizations and requires two factors to be considered during the BVC procurement process: price and performance. • BVC uses the relationship between performance and price to achieve the best overall value and lowest long -term cost for government construction projects. • On March 18, 2008, the City Council adopted, as practice, the Best Value Contracting method for the procurement system of public improvement projects for the City. • The BVC method of procurement has been successfully used for numerous previous street & utility improvement contracts since 2008. • The BVC method of procurement will be used for this contract, and will be advertised in the solicitation of these bids. All bids will be evaluated in an open and competitive manner. 0 Agenda Information Memo March 1, 2011 Eagan City Council Meeting E. CONTRACT 11 -03, WATER RESERVOIR RECONDITIONING (DEERWOOD RESERVOIR) ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Receive the bids and award Proposals #2 & #3 for Contract 11 -03 ( Deerwood Reservoir Repainting) to Classic Protective Coatings in the amount of $666,098 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. FACTS: • The Deerwood Water Reservoir is a 4 million gallon water storage tank located in the southeast corner of Deerwood Dr. & I -35E providing standby reserve capacity and sustainable pressure for the City's water distribution system. This reservoir was originally built in 1995. This tank requires a full interior and exterior reconditioning and repainting. • In 2006, all City reservoirs were thoroughly inspected inside and out. A condition rating was performed with required and recommended improvements documented. These improvements were then integrated into the Public Works Department Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for efficient and economical scheduling. This tank was programmed for 2010 in the 5yr CIP approved by Council on June 19, 2007. It was subsequently carried over into the 2011 Utility Enterprise Operating Budget approved by Council on December 21, 2010. • On February 1, the Council approved the detail plans and specs and authorized the advertisement for a competitive bid opening subsequently held on February 24, 2011. The specifications requested an alternate deduct bid (Proposal #3) for the pre - construction removal of telecommunication equipment (Deduct $15,000). The lease agreements for all telecommunication vendors provide them the option of staying on the tank and paying the increased costs or removing their equipment at their expense. A pre -bid meeting was held with the telecom vendors and they all elected to remove their equipment before painting began. Proposals #1 & #2 solicited separate bids based on when the tank painting would take place. Proposal #1's schedule was for April to June and Proposal #2's schedule was for August to Oct. With a cost savings of $5,000 for the Fall Schedule, staff is recommending Proposal #2. • All bids have been reviewed for accuracy and compliance and found to be in order for favorable consideration by the Council. ISSUES • While the low bid is 15.3% under the Engineer's Estimate of $785,000, it is 60.9% over the estimate contained in the CIP and Utility Enterprise Renewal & Replacement budget ($414,000), which appears to have been an unrealistic number. The estimate contained in the detailed tank evaluation report prepared in 2006 was $675,200. The low bid received in 2008 for the Lexington/Diffley tank rehab was $694,444. The current bids received appear to be very competitive and in line with all estimates and bids received over the last few years. The City would be best served by proceeding with this contract award and adjusting next year's CIP by delaying or modifying some other improvement. There is sufficient funding in the Enterprise Fund to accommodate this contract award at this time.

PROJECT 1016R, AMES CROSSING ROAD EASEMENT ACQUISITION ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve an Easement Agreement for Project 1016 R (Ames Crossing Road — Street & Utility Improvements) with the owner of Lot 1, Block 1 Lone Oak 2 Addition (Delta Airlines/ Metropolitan Airports Commission) and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. FACTS: • On March 2, 2010, the City Council approved City Project 1016 R (Ames Crossing Road Street & Utility Improvements) and authorize the preparation of detailed plans and specifications, and the acquisition of easements through quick -take eminent domain process, if necessary. The project includes street and utility improvements to connect the north and south portions of Ames Crossing Road providing a continuous street connection between Lone Oak Rd. and O'Neill Dr. to serve the development and the surrounding area in northeast Eagan. • The construction of the Ames Crossing Road improvements require the acquisition of permanent and temporary easements from two properties, the Delta/ Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) property and the Cole family property (PIN 10- 00100- 010-02). • An appraisal was obtained for the Cole property easement, and used to estimate the value of the easement needed on the Delta/ MAC property. Based on the appraised rate for permanent and temporary easements, the estimated value of the permanent and temporary easements for the referenced property is $55,675. An offer was accordingly forwarded to the legal representatives of the Delta/ MAC property. The representatives have accepted the City's offer. • An agreement between the City of Eagan and the owner of Lot 1, Block 1, Lone Oak 2nd Addition (Property Identification Number 10- 45701- 011 -01) has been prepared providing for the acquisition cost for the necessary easement. • Engineering staff and the City Attorney's office have reviewed the agreement and found it to be in order for favorable Council action. Agenda Information Memo March 1, 2011, Eagan City Council Meeting I. INSPECTION SERVICES AGREEMENT ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve a Master Partnership Contract with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents, and delegate authority to the City Engineer to enter into subsequent Work Order Contracts as needed. FACTS: • Mn/DOT offers various services to local agencies through their Master Partnership Contract Program. These services may include Professional and Technical services; Routine Roadway Maintenance; Construction Administration; and Emergency Services. When a need is identified, the State and City will negotiate the specific and detailed work tasks and cost. The State will then prepare a "Work Order" contract limited to a specific project/engagement to be performed under the general terms and conditions of the Master Partnership Contract. • It is financially prudent for the City to make use of certain Mn/DOT technical services during the course of local public improvement projects or in emergency situations when time is of the essence. • The Public Works Department occasionally requires many of technical services provided by Mn/DOT, including material testing, concrete and bituminous plant inspections, pavement striping, equipment repair, streetlight and signal maintenance, etc. • An agreement between the City of Eagan and Mn/DOT has been prepared by MnDOT providing the terms and conditions which Mn/DOT would provide the City with these services. • The City Attorney's office has reviewed this agreement and found it to be similar to other interagency and service agreements and in order for favorable Council consideration. • Execution of this agreement does not require the City to use Mn/DOT services. Rather, it provides the City an additional resource for required technical services for economic evaluation. ATTACHMENTS: • Resolution, pag • The 18 page Master Partnership Contract with a sample Work Order Contract is available for review in the Engineering Division. Copies will be made available upon request. 17 RESOLUTION NO APPROVING A MASTER PARTNERSHIP CONTRACT BETWEEN THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE CITY OF EAGAN WHEREAS, The Minnesota Department of Transportation wishes to cooperate closely with local units of government to coordinate the delivery of transportation services and maximize the efficient delivery of such services at all levels of government; and WHEREAS, Mn/DOT and local governments are authorized by Minnesota Statutes sections 471.59, 174.02, and 161.20, to undertake collaborative efforts for the design, construction, maintenance and operation of state and local roads; and WHEREAS, the parties wish to be able to respond quickly and efficiently to such opportunities for collaboration, and have determined that having the ability to write "Work Orders" against a master contract would provide the greatest speed and flexibility in responding to identified needs. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. That the City of Eagan enter into a Master Partnership Contract with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, a copy of which was before the Council; and, 2. That the proper City officers are authorized to execute such contract, and any amendments thereto; and, 3.

REQUEST ADVANCE FROM MUNICIPAL STATE AID ROAD PROGRAM ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve a resolution requesting the Minnesota Department of Transportation to advance to the City of Eagan $2.0 million from the Municipal State Aid (MSA) Construction account. FACTS: • The Municipal State Aid (MSA) program distributes a portion of the gas tax money to all Minnesota cities over 5,000 population and is based on a formula of proportionate population and construction needs. The City of Eagan's apportionment for 2011 is approximately $2.5 million. These funds are required to be used on the City's designated State Aid roadway system. Only 20% of the city's local street mileage is eligible for this designation and related funding (approx. 47.1 miles). • Because the City of Eagan, with its Pavement Management Program, has been very progressive in its construction program on State Aid eligible streets, we have spent approximately $10.5 million more than our cumulative annual allocations. This amount remains eligible for future State Aid reimbursement when funds become available. • The MSA program allows for cities to advance funds in excess of their annual apportionment at no interest. • This resolution requests the Commissioner of Transportation to advance the City of Eagan a total of approximately $2.0 million from future State Aid Construction Account payments. This maximum request amount will be repaid from future annual apportionments but provides the City with the use of these interest free funds at the present time.

ZONING PERMIT DIRECTION — CITY OF EAGAN ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To direct staff to work with the City Attorney's office on a Zoning Permit implementation plan. FACTS: ➢ There are a number of property improvement activities that do not require a Building Permit or any formal review by Planning, Building and /or Engineering staff. These include accessory structures 120 SF (or less) in size, patios and sidewalks, sport and tennis courts, fences, retaining walls (less than four feet in height), etc. ➢ In September 2010, the City Council received a presentation regarding the Zoning Permit concept. At that time, the Council directed staff work with the APC to flesh out the concept. ➢ The APC discussed and considered Zoning Permits at two subsequent workshops and the consensus was that the City should create a Zoning Permit process. The APC determined that a Zoning Permit process would provide value by protecting the property owner and neighboring properties, as well. ➢ As the City Council will recall, there are numerous examples of "non- building permit" improvements being made to properties over the years that have, when discovered, resulted in the need for the property owner to seek a Variance, property line adjustments or CUP's (impervious surface) due to the private improvement resulting in a non- conforming situation that requires correction before the property can be sold or granted a Building Permit for additional improvements. ➢ This type of permit would be required for improvements that do not require a Building Permit. The purpose of this type of review is to insure standard zoning requirements are adhered to such as setbacks and impervious surface coverage before an investment is made.

The proposed name for this new roadway alignment is Cedar Grove Boulevard. These improvements are located within the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area. Figure 1 in Appendix A illustrates the Project Location Map. Previous infrastructure improvements completed within the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area include street, utility and landscaping along Silver Bell Road and Cedar Grove Parkway (formerly named Beau d' Rue Drive). On September 17, 2010, the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) awarded the City of Eagan $559,986 as a redevelopment grant for assistance with infrastructure improvements within the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area, specifically the upgrade and realignment of Cedarvale Boulevard to correspond with the conceptual layout of the core development area. The redevelopment grant requires a matching contribution from the City. The ultimate goal of this project is to reconstruct Cedar Grove Boulevard from just east of the Jensen's Supper Club driveway (where the City's previous Silver Bell Road project terminated) to Nicols Road. The revised alignment will create a new four leg intersection with Cedar Grove Parkway. Two legs along Cedar Grove Boulevard, one leg along Cedar Grove Parkway, and a fourth leg that will be a main access to redevelopment along the north side of Cedar Grove Boulevard. In addition to the new four leg intersection at Cedar Grove Parkway, the new alignment with Nicols Road will create a thru street. The Transit Station will be served by a new intersection with Cedar Grove Boulevard that will provide access to both buses and riders. Figure 2 in Appendix A illustrates the proposed Cedar Grove Boulevard alignment, new intersection with Cedar Grove Parkway and an additional intersection approximately 600' west of Rahn Road. This additional intersection will provide access to the former Cedarvale Mall area and also to future development to the north. Existing businesses north of Cedar Grove Boulevard will be accessed via a temporary driveway. Once land use changes on the north side with future development, the temporary driveway will be eliminated. The purpose of a realigned Cedar Grove Boulevard is to provide a roadway configuration that will accommodate planned future land use. Proposed land use for the redevelopment parcels is illustrated in Figure 3 in Appendix A. These land uses include retail, apartments, senior housing, townhomes, office, and HD housing and are based on information contained in the Updated Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area AUAR (2009). City of Eagan City Project No. 1051 C ity of Eau INTRODUCTION / HISTORY Page 1 Kip] CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT AREA EXISTING CONDITIONS SURFACE CONDITIONS The parcels of land in this study area currently contain rural bituminous surfaced roadways with ditches along Cedarvale Drive and Cedarvale Boulevard. Cedar Grove Parkway is a bituminous surfaced roadway in an urban section with concrete curb and gutter, medians and landscaping. A large bituminous surfaced parking lot remains on the land parcel where the Cedarvale Shopping Center previously existed. Other features of this project area include turf in areas where buildings and parking lots previously existed, three (3) businesses with buildings and parking lots, various trees and green space, ponding areas, and a transit station. The three (3) existing businesses are U -Haul, Larson Automotive, and Competition Engines. Figure 4 in Appendix A illustrates existing conditions within the Cedar Grove Development Area. UTILITIES SANITARY SEWER Sanitary sewer exists throughout the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area. Pipe sizes and types include 8" Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), 9" Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP) and 15" Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP). Figure 5 in Appendix A illustrates the existing sanitary sewer system. According to City of Eagan Public Works, these pipes are in good condition. In addition, the configuration of the existing sanitary sewer is such that depending on future building locations, large portions of the system may be able to be utilized as is. Modifications to these lines are discussed in the Proposed Utility Improvements section of the report. WATERMAIN Watermain exists throughout the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area. Ductile Iron Pipe ranges in size from 6 " -16" in diameter. Figure 6 in Appendix A illustrates the existing watermain system. According to City of Eagan Public Works, these pipes are in good condition. The existing system is within the City's Low Pressure Zone. Based on increased fire flows for large commercial, office and retail structures, improvements will be necessary to change the overall piping system from the Low to the Intermediate Pressure Zone. Modifications to these utility lines are discussed in the Proposed Utility Improvements section of this report. STORM SEWER The existing storm sewer system for the majority of the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area consists of routing stormwater via ditches and culverts from the southwest corner of the site to the northeast corner of the site. Culverts and short pipe runs range in size from 12 " -36" Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP). Figure 7 in Appendix A illustrates the existing storm sewer system. In the northeast corner of the site, two (2) stormwater ponds provide water quality and rate control. Adequate storage does not exist within the existing ponds for the overall redevelopment of the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area. Modifications to one (1) of these ponds and the new storm sewer system that will serve the overall redevelopment are discussed in the Proposed Utility Improvements section of this report. City of Eagan City Project No. 1051 Cit of Ea t da EXISTING CONDITIONS Page 2 4 1 CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT AREA PRIVATE UTILITIES Existing private utilities within the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area include an XCEL Energy 26" diameter high pressure (650 psi) gas pipeline located along the south ditch line of Cedarvale Boulevard. This pipeline is buried approximately 3' beneath the ditch elevation to the top of the pipe. The pipeline runs across the entire length of the property from east to west and provides gas to an off -site electrical facility. Discussions with XCEL Energy have occurred regarding street and utility improvements over and adjacent to the gas pipeline. XCEL Energy representatives indicate that proposed construction as shown in this report would be feasible relative to the gas pipeline location. The proposed Cedar Grove Boulevard alignment has been placed so the gas pipeline would run down the median of the road. In addition to the high pressure gas pipeline, XCEL Energy has overhead electric power lines throughout the site. A portion of these power lines will require relocation for the City's proposed improvements. Figure 8 in Appendix A illustrates the location of the high pressure gas pipeline and overhead electric power lines. PROPOSED CONDITIONS STREET IMPROVEMENTS The City's Transportation Plan, Updated Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area AUAR (2009), Development Concept Plan and Design Framework Report were utilized to develop three (3) design options for the new Cedar Grove Boulevard roadway. This information assisted in determining preliminary location of full intersections, intersection spacing, appropriate design speed, right -of -way width, location of turn lanes, parking provisions, and the inclusion of sidewalks and trails for this major collector corridor. In addition, from a planning perspective, the Design Framework Report prepared in 2002 is still the "general vision" that is desired for the corridor. This vision includes buildings in close proximity to the corridor (0 -10' setbacks from the right -of -way line), strategically placed parking along the street, and landscaping and street lighting to add aesthetics. Generally, the corridor will be more urban than suburban in nature and facilitate a complete street design. In addition, the City desires that the new roadway meets Municipal State Aid Standards (MSA). The following is a description of the three (3) typical design options: Option A Option A consists of a 12' thru lane, 6' shoulder, 9' boulevard, 6' concrete walk and a 6' green space along the north side of the roadway (west bound). The south side of the roadway (east bound), consists of a 12' thru lane, 10' parking lane (except at right turn areas), 9' -13' boulevard, 8' bituminous trail and a 2' green space. This option also includes 13618 concrete curb and gutter and a 20' median/left turn lane. Total right -of -way is 100'. Figures 9 and 10 in Appendix A illustrate the typical roadway section and layout of Option A.

The south side of the roadway (east bound) consists of a 12' thru lane, 6' shoulder, 9' boulevard, 8' bituminous trail and a 2' green space. This option also includes B618 concrete curb curb and gutter and a 25' median/left turn lane. Total right -of -way is 100'. Figures 9 and 11 in Appendix A illustrate the typical roadway section and layout of Option B. Option C Option C consists of a 12' thru lane, 6' shoulder, 8' boulevard, 6' concrete walk and 1' green space along the north side of the roadway (west bound). The south side of the roadway (east bound) consists of a 12' thru lane, 6' shoulder, 9' boulevard, 8' bituminous trail and a 2' green space. This option also includes B618 concrete curb and gutter and a 20' median/left turn lane. Total right -of -way is 90'. Figures 9 and 12 in Appendix A illustrate the typical roadway section and layout of Option C. Option A is the only option that includes parking along the south side of the roadway; approximately 46 total parking stalls would be provided from four parking bays. Option B has a wider median for landscaping and green space. Option C has the narrowest right -of -way and the least amount of space for landscaping. Option A is recommended because it allows for parking adjacent to the proposed Senior Housing and Apartments. The anticipated average daily traffic (ADT) in year 2031 is approximately 10,000 vehicles. Based on this ADT, preliminary design for the pavement section is 6" of bituminous, 12" of aggregate base class 5, and 18" of select granular borrow. This pavement section will be revised as necessary once a geotechnical report has been completed during the final design phase of the project. Geotechnical information from soil borings will provide better information on the soils condition and related R- value. For all options, the total length of the proposed Cedar Grove Boulevard is approximately 3,500'. The realigned portion of Cedar Grove Parkway is approximately 500'. Existing and proposed streets width on Cedar Grove Parkway is 44' and includes a median. The proposed design alignment of Cedar Grove Boulevard is based on standards for a 35 mph design speed. Nicols Road is currently a 44' wide non - divided urban roadway with a posted speed of 40 mph. As Nicols Road transitions to Cedar Grove Boulevard as a thru street, a design speed change will need to occur. Medians are being proposed on Nicols Road near the transit station just prior to the first 35 mph design curve. Establishing medians at this location will help to alert drivers to a change in roadway environment by channelizing the roadway and giving drivers a more urban feel. It is possible that the City may choose to add a roundabout at the intersection of Cedar Grove Boulevard and Cedar Grove Parkway in the future, depending on how much traffic is generated from development on the north side of Cedar Grove Boulevard. As part of this project, right of way will be preserved at this future intersection location to accommodate the footprint of a possible future roundabout. City of Eagan City Project No. 1051 City of Ea PROPOSED CONDITIONS Page 4 CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT AREA SIDEWALK AND TRAIL Cedar Grove Boulevard will include a 6' trail on the north side and an 8' trail on the south side as described in all three options. The trail on the south side of Cedar Grove Boulevard will connect to an existing trail located on the east side of Nicols Road. Trail and sidewalk extensions are being proposed to provide continuous routes along Cedar Grove Boulevard from Nicols Road to Silver Bell Road. The addition of these pedestrian facilities along with the planned trail on the south side of Cedar Grove Parkway will provide good connectivity throughout the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area to serve residents, business patrons, and park and ride customers. LIGHTING Decorative street lighting will include light poles with a twin -head acorn fixture on a 15 -foot black painted aluminum pole. This fixture and the nominal 170 -foot spacing layout matches the lighting plan for existing Cedar Grove Parkway between Highway 13 and Rahn Road. One upgrade to the existing design that is proposed is the use of the twin -head acorn fixture on both sides of the road, rather than using a single head fixture on one side. This would give Cedar Grove Boulevard, the main Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area Collector, a stronger visual presence in both day and night time. Figure 13 in Appendix A illustrates the proposed lighting fixture. LANDSCAPING The opportunity for significant landscaping improvements exists within the proposed public right -of -way for each of the three (3) options presented. The City of Eagan has established the precedent for landscaping in this area with construction in 2002 of Cedar Grove Parkway, which intersects with the proposed project, and with Central Parkway adjacent to Central Park. In each of these earlier cases, the intent of the landscape design was to provide an enhanced natural character to the roadway, to establish gateway features at various key locations, to improve safety through lighting and to establish a model for landscaping of roads in special districts citywide. As the main collector road for the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area, and because of its proximity to Highway 13, Cedar Grove Boulevard could be considered of equal importance to Central Parkway and Cedar Grove Parkway as a corridor where additional investment in landscaping would lead to an improved and unique image for the City. The landscape plan that is presented consists of street tree planting, ornamental and evergreen tree planting, decorative street lighting, a reconstructed gateway at Nicols Road, decorative shrubs, perennials, automatic irrigation and decorative paving at special locations. To the extent possible, the materials will match those of Cedar Grove Parkway. Changes to materials that are suggested by City staff based on their nine (9) years of experience in maintaining Cedar Grove Parkway will be considered. A prototypical landscape plan is attached as Figure 14 in Appendix A, with a corresponding cross section as Figure 15. These drawings depict the streetscape condition for street layout Option B, which has a 100 foot typical right -of -way, no parking and added median width. Because of the wider median in Option B, the opportunity for landscaping is greater than in the other options. This difference is most apparent at street intersections, where the additional width allows for ornamental tree, shrub and perennial plantings to be brought up towards the intersection by as much as 220 feet closer than the other options. This difference creates a beautiful and colorful planted gateway feature at the intersections, similar to what was done at Central Parkway. Owing to the additional planted and irrigated area and to the higher numbers of ornamental C 16y �1 Ea no trees, the cost for landscaping in Option B, (detailed in the Appendix C), would City of Eagan PROPOSED CONDITIONS City Project No. 1051 Page 5 14 CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT AREA be higher than the other options. However, we do not believe that the cost difference would be significant, relative to the overall cost of the project. In all of the options, planting is affected by the presence of an existing gas pipeline, owned by XCEL Energy that bisects the project site east to west and will be located under a portion of the landscaped median. In the median areas above the pipeline, shrub and perennial planting are acceptable, but there will not be trees planted. Street trees will be the Jeffersred Maple, to match trees used in the median on Cedar Grove Parkway. One or more additional large canopy trees will be selected for use on the project, in consultation with the City Forester. Ash tree species will not be used, because of the recent arrival of the Emerald Ash Borer in the region. Ornamental tree types will include varieties of Flowering Crab Apple and Japanese Tree Lilac. Where ornamental trees are adjacent to pavements, non - fruiting varieties will be selected. Shrub and perennial plants will be selected for winter hardiness, ability to tolerate urban conditions and aesthetic interest. Ornamental grasses will also be combined with perennials. All median and gateway plantings will be irrigated with a pop -up spray system. Trees located outside of these areas will all be irrigated with a drip system. Lawn areas outside of the medians will not be irrigated. In addition to the landscaping, a new Gateway is planned to replace the existing Gateway that will be demolished as part of the new roadway alignment at the intersection of Nicols Road and Cedar Grove Parkway. The new Gateway will be constructed of similar materials as the existing Gateway (brick pillars and wrought iron fence). To build the gateway feature, the City would have to preserve additional right of way in the northeast quadrant of the Cedar Grove Boulevard and Park and Ride access intersection. Figure 16 in Appendix A illustrates the proposed Gateway improvements. UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS Along with the roadway, lighting, and landscape improvements, utility improvements will be necessary to provide sanitary sewer and water service and to provide adequate drainage for the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area. SANITARY SEWER Sanitary sewer improvements adjacent to the future Senior Housing and Apartments area consists of constructing manholes over an existing 15" RCP trunk sanitary sewer. From these manholes, 8" PVC will be stubbed out at two (2) key locations to provide sanitary sewer service. Sanitary sewer service to the remainder of the redevelopment area will be accomplished by utilizing connections where needed at various locations adjacent to the existing system. In the area adjacent to the proposed Townhomes, an existing 8" PVC sanitary sewer will be re- routed from Cedar Grove Parkway to the north to an existing 9" VCP located north of the proposed Cedar Grove Boulevard alignment. This re- routing allows for additional developable land in the proposed Townhome area. Figure 17 in Appendix A illustrates the proposed sanitary sewer improvements. City of Eagan City Project No. 1051 City of NOR PROPOSED CONDITIONS Page 6 CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT AREA WATERMAIN Watermain service to the Senior Housing and Apartment area will be accomplished by constructing 12" DIP wet taps and stubs at the same location as the sanitary sewer service stubs identified above. Existing 8" DIP watermain located in the current Cedar Grove Parkway right -of -way will be reconfigured to follow the proposed roadway within the new Cedar Grove Boulevard and Cedar Grove Parkway intersection. This ensures that the City's watermain is located within the street right -of -way and creates additional land for the Townhome area. Existing hydrants that are affected by new roadway construction will be relocated to newly created boulevard areas. Watermain service to all other redevelopment areas will be accomplished by connecting to the existing water system at necessary locations. Due to the need to increase fire flow pressure for the overall Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area, this existing portion of the low pressure zone will be converted to the intermediate pressure zone. This conversion will be accomplished by removing four (4) pressure reducing valves (PRV) along with constructing one (1) new PRV. All five (5) valves are located in or within 2,000' of the site. Figure 18 in Appendix A illustrates the proposed watermain improvements. The proposed improvements will require a permit from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) for the watermain improvements. At913 ►Ti&I-Wir14.1 Storm sewer improvements include the construction of a new storm sewer system that will serve the entire Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area. To accomplish this, piping would be constructed from the City's existing pond located south of Highway 13 and west of Silver Bell Road along the new Cedar Grove Boulevard corridor to Nicols Road. RCP sizes will range from 15 " -48" in diameter. Storm sewer stubs at critical locations will be constructed to provide outlets for the entire redevelopment area. Re- routing of the 36" storm sewer pipe (within the former mall area) would need to occur when the senior housing/apartment area is developed. In addition to the proposed storm sewer piping, the City's ponding area (dead pool storage) will need to be expanded to meet the NURP requirements for water quality for the contributing watershed. The ponds between Cedar Grove Boulevard and TH 13 should be established as a regional system that will treat the entire watershed rather than having to construct individual ponds as each new development occurs. Figure 19 in Appendix A illustrates the proposed storm sewer system and pond expansion area. If impervious area within the redevelopment area remains less than or within 1 acre of existing impervious coverage, infiltration will not be required. If the existing overall impervious coverage is exceeded by one acre or more, infiltration will be required. This could be accomplished by either on -site infiltration or by constructing an infiltration system downstream of the existing ponds. Downstream infiltration opportunities would be more challenging than incorporating on -site infiltration as development takes place. Additional rate control at ponds may be needed if overall development causes the total impervious area to exceed the 4 W existing impervious area. City of Eagan City Project No. 1051 City of Ea[aIl PROPOSED CONDITIONS Page 7 CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT AREA Figure 21 in Appendix A illustrates estimated existing impervious areas within the redevelopment area. The proposed improvements will also require a permit be obtained through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The Gun Club Watershed will also have stormwater review of the improvements. CEDAR GROVE PARKWAY TRAIL In addition to the Cedar Grove Boulevard Improvements, the City is proposing to construct an 8' bituminous trail from Rahn Road to 200' west of Cedar Grove Trail. This trail would connect to the proposed trail as included in the Cedar Grove Boulevard and Cedar Grove Parkway improvements. Decorative lighting along the south side of Cedar Grove Parkway from Rahn Road to the new Cedar Grove Boulevard intersection would be provided as part of this trail improvement. Relocation of existing XCEL Energy overhead power lines will be required for the trail construction. Appendix B illustrates the preliminary design for these proposed improvements. ESTIMATED'COSTS AND FINANCING Proposed construction costs for the Cedar Grove Boulevard improvements including bituminous street, concrete curb and gutter, bituminous trail, concrete walk, sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer, ponding, lighting, landscaping and turf restoration are itemized in Appendix C and are summarized in Table 1 below. Since the estimated construction cost for Options A, B, and C are very similar, separate estimates have not been included in this report. Proposed construction costs for the Cedar Grove Parkway Trail including modular block retaining wall, bituminous trail, lighting and turf restoration are itemized in Appendix C and summarized in Table 2 below. The preliminary cost estimates include a contingency factor of 10% to account for any elements of construction that are unknown at this time. They also include indirect project costs of construction such as engineering, legal fees, administrative costs, and bond interest which together are estimated at 35% of the project construction cost. These cost estimates are based on current public construction cost information.

PHASING CONSIDERATIONS With the overall project cost exceeding DEED Grant dollars and the anticipated City match, it is recommended that the City consider a phased approach to completing the Cedar Grove Boulevard improvements. A recommended Phase 1 scenario is to construct street, sidewalk, bituminous trail, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, watermain, lighting conduit and light pole bases, turf establishment, and miscellaneous improvements on Cedar Grove Boulevard from the east side of Jensen's Supper Club driveway to the proposed intersection of Cedar Grove Boulevard and Cedar Grove Parkway. Lighting for the intersections of Cedar Grove Boulevard with Rahn Road and Cedar Grove Parkway would be provided by temporary wood light poles. Figure 20 in Appendix A illustrates the phased improvements. In this scenario, decorative light poles and landscaping would be installed at a future date. Rough grading for the realigned portion of Cedar Grove Parkway would be completed to establish grades for the overall roadway project and adjacent development areas. This phasing would allow the Senior Housing and Apartments land area to be developed immediately upon completion. City of Eagan City Project No. 1051 C ity of Ca ■ PHASING CONSIDERATIONS Page 9 CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT AREA Proposed construction costs, contingencies and indirect costs for these Phase 1 improvements can be found in Appendix C and are summarized in Table 3 below.

The ultimate improvement that would add the reconstruction of Cedar Grove Boulevard from the Cedar Grove Parkway intersection to Nicols Road can be accomplished when further development occurs. In addition, Option A is the recommended typical section for the overall improvement. This recommendation is based on the minimal cost to include parking along the south side of the proposed Cedar Grove Boulevard. From an engineering standpoint, this project (Phase 1) is feasible, cost effective and necessary and can best be accomplished by letting competitive bids for the work. It is recommended that the work be done under one contract in order to complete the work in an orderly and efficient manner. Due to the advertisement of bids in late Spring rather than late Winter/Early Spring as is typically completed for street improvements, the City may want to reject all bids and rebid in the Winter /Spring of 2012 if bid prices are too high.

PROJECT 971, DUCKWOOD DRIVE OVERPASS BRIDGE & STREET IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Receive the Engineering Design Report for Project 971 (Duckwood Drive Overpass - Bridge and Street Improvements) as presented and take one of the following actions: 1. Approve Project 971 and the plans and specifications for Contract 09 -18, Duckwood Drive Overpass (Bridge and Street Improvements) and authorize the advertisement for a bid opening to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 14, 2011; OR 2. Deny Project 971. FACTS: • On March 16, 2010, the City Council amended the Part III 5 -Year Capital Improvement Program (2010 -2014) to incorporate the placement of Project 971 (Duckwood Drive/Federal Drive - Bridge and Street Improvements) in 2011. The improvement includes the construction of the Duckwood Drive Overpass and associated street improvements. • Project 971 would provide for the extension of Duckwood Drive, connecting Federal Drive with Pilot Knob Road, over I -35E as a new grade separated crossing. The proposed project includes reconfiguration of the existing intersection of Pilot Knob Road and Duckwood Drive, including the traffic signal, modification to the right -turn lane for the northbound I -35E ramp east of Pilot Knob Road, and bituminous trails on both sides of Duckwood Drive. • Completion of the Duckwood Drive Overpass is part of a broader, long -term effort to alleviate worsening congestion at the intersection of two county roads (Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road) by separating the local traffic from regional commuters. Project 971 would complete this nearly 17 year old 'Ring Road" concept. • On September 29, 2010, an open house was held for the public at which time staff provided details about the proposed scope, financing and schedule for constructing said improvements. 32 residents and business representatives attended to share concerns, questions and support for the project. Of those, 11 filled out comment cards (see attached summary) • On December 10, 2010, the City received final comments from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) necessary for final approval. • The plans and specifications have been completed by the SRF Consulting Group Inc. reviewed by the City Engineer and are being presented to the City Council for their approval and authorization for the advertisement of bids in hopes of benefiting from the favorable bidding climate this winter. Required rights of way and easements have been secured from all property owners except one (Town Center Auto Mall), which is proceeding through the Eminent Domain process. • The Best Value Contracting method of procurement would be used for this contract, and would be advertised in the solicitation of bids. All bids would be evaluated in an open and competitive manner. • Notices have been sent to all affected property owners and attendees at the Sept 29 open house informing them of this next step in this project process.

Maximizing interchange capacity with physical improvements to the existing roadway system alone will not accommodate the projected traffic volumes associated with full development in this area. In 1991, the City amended the Transportation Element of its Comprehensive Guide Plan to identify a future "Ring Road" concept. Since then, the City has completed numerous public improvements along the designated Ring Road route to systematically accommodate the ultimate completion of the recognized transportation system enhancement. The final unconstructed segment of the Ring Road is the extension of Duckwood Drive over I -35E, connecting Federal Drive with Pilot Knob Road (see Figure 1, Appendix A). When completed, the Ring Road will have an important impact on local operations, providing a continuous transportation loop for local traffic separate from regional commuters and connecting land uses around the intersection of Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road. Recent Actions On March 16, 2010, the City Council amended the Part III 5 -Year Capital Improvement Program (2010 -2014) to incorporate the inclusion of Contract 09 -18 (Duckwood Drive /Federal Drive - Bridge /Street Improvements) in 2011. An open house was held at city hall on September 29, 2010, to share draft design details and solicit input from the public. On December 10, 2010, the City received the final (minor) comments from the various functional areas at the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) that reviewed the plans for the overpass and related street improvements. Duckwood Drive Overpass 3 RP Scope This project would provide for the extension of Duckwood Drive, connecting Federal Drive with Pilot Knob Road, over 1 -35E as a new grade separated crossing that will complete the Ring Road concept (Figure 2, Appendix A). The proposed project is approximately 1,500 feet (0.3 miles) in length and includes reconfiguration of the existing signalized intersection of Pilot Knob Road and Duckwood Drive, modification to the right -turn lane for the northbound 1 -35E ramp east of Pilot Knob Road, modification to the right -turn lane for westbound Duckwood Drive at the intersection with Pilot Knob Road and bituminous trails on both sides of Duckwood Drive. Construction of the overpass and street improvements would include grading, aggregate base, bridge construction, bituminous base and surfacing, concrete curb and gutter, storm sewer, traffic signals, lighting, bituminous trail, water quality improvements, erosion control and final site restoration. Feasibility and Recommendations The construction of the new 1 -35E overpass at Duckwood Drive would result in several benefits. Component of Improved Long -Term Local & Regional Traffic Completion of the Duckwood Drive Overpass is part of a broader, long -term effort to alleviate worsening congestion at the intersection of two county roads (Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road) by separating the local traffic from regional commuters. Figures 3 and 4 (Appendix A) detail a travel demand model operations and congestion summary, respectively, in the project area. Figure 5 indicates the intersection locations that were analyzed. Construction of the overpass would help alleviate long -term congestion as one of several future local and regional improvements. Together, these local and regional improvements would result in all intersections operating at an acceptable Level of Service by year 2030. The results of the travel model hide the important local benefits this project would provide, primarily highlighting the collective long -term regional benefit in congestion improvements for the significant regional operations. In the near term, the project would have an important impact on local operations and connections. The project would assist local trips via car, bus, bike and foot in reaching destinations east and west of 1 -35E without needing to traverse the heavily congested, regional intersection of Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road. 4 gJ Duckwood Drive Overpass Traffic Impact on Federal Drive Traffic South of Duckwood Drive The travel demand model forecast, based on completion of the overpass, shows a minor increase in the number of vehicles heading south on Federal Drive. Traffic on Federal Drive south of Duckwood Drive is forecast to increase by 300 vehicles per day. However, less than 100 of these vehicles would be destined for Blue Cross Blue Shield or Delta Dental corporate sites. Among these 100 new trips, most would originate at residences along Duckwood Drive and Denmark Avenue. The remaining 200 vehicle increase would be from neighborhoods in the vicinity of Federal Drive using the overpass to cross 1 -35E to access the Town Centre retail area. Forecast travel patterns on Federal Drive were further reviewed to determine the extent of commuter through- traffic to Blue Cross Blue Shield or Delta Dental. The results were reviewed in more detail because the travel demand model did not identify commuters potentially using the Pilot Knob Road exit on northbound 1 -35E and Duckwood Drive overpass as a route to the Blue Cross Blue Shield or Delta Dental campuses. The below table lists the estimated peak travel time to Blue Cross Blue Shield from a point on 1- 35E immediately south of Diffley Road. Similar times would be anticiapted for Delta Dental. The presumed primary route for this trip (using the arterial road system) would be via 1 -35E, Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road. The estimate a.m. peak hour travel time is approximately nine minutes along this route and includes the average left -turn delay at key intersections, including the significant left -turn delay at the intersection of Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road. Estimated Travel Time From 1- 35E / Difflev Road to Blue Cross Blue Shield Corporate Site Route A.M. Peak Travel Time via Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road 9.2 Minutes via Pilot Knob Road, Duckwood Drive Overpass, Federal Drive, and Ashbury Road 7.9 Minutes via Pilot Knob Road, Duckwood Drive Overpass, Federal Drive, and Yankee Doodle Road 7.4 Minutes via Diff ley Road and Blackhawk Road 1 6.0 Minutes The table identifies regional trips to Blue Cross Blue Shield would benefit slightly from the Duckwood Drive overpass by avoiding the northbound left -turn delay at Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road during the a.m. peak hour. Once across 1 -35E on Duckwood Drive, two routes were further reviewed: via Federal Drive and Ashbury Road (to the south) and via Federal Drive and Yankee Doodle Road (to the north). The model forecast trips via Federal Drive and Yankee Doodle Road to be approximately 30 seconds shorter than via Federal Drive and Ashbury Road. It should be noted that the analysis assumes peak hour conditions with left - turn delays. During off -peak or less congested conditions the travel time via Pilot Knob Road Duckwood Drive Overpass Q 5 v and Yankee Doodle Road would be less, reducing the likelihood that commuters would use Federal Drive and Ashbury Road to reach Blue Cross Blue Shield or Delta Dental. The table also indicates that using any of these three routes is notably longer than traveling via Diffley Road and Blackhawk Road. Furthermore, a significant portion of traffic originating south of Diffley Road can be expected to use TH 77 (Cedar Avenue Freeway) and TH 13 to access Blue Cross Blue Shield /Delta Dental. Complete Central Area Ring Road Concept The project would construct the final segment of the City's Ring Road concept as developed in its Comprehensive Guide Plan. The overpass would finalize a logical and continuous loop around the congested intersection of Yankee Doodle Road and Pilot Knob Road and the City's central business district. This continuous loop would serve to better connect local and visiting traffic with businesses. Completion of the Ring Road woould also provide a new connection for existing sidewalks and trails, allowing pedestrians and bicyclists to reach businesses and residences without having to traverse the congested Yankee Doodle Road and Pilot Knob Road intersection. Favorable Bid Prices The City expects bidding an approved project in late winter /early spring 2011, with the current construction lull, as opposed to a later year, will attract considerable attention from contractors and lead to a favorable contract price. The City received bids below the engineer's estimate on several projects in 2010 and anticipates this trend will continue in 2011. Recent communications with other cities currently bidding contracts is finding this to be the case. Proposed Improvements This project would provide for the extension of Duckwood Drive, connecting Federal Drive with Pilot Knob Road, over 1 -35E as a new grade separated crossing. This project would complete the Ring Road concept. Construction of associated improvements, including the realignment of Federal Drive to connect into the Duckwood Drive extension as the major thoroughfare and provide a "T" intersection for access to the Blackhawk Glen /Ridge neighborhood, as well as an upgraded traffic signal at Pilot Knob Road and Duckwood Drive, would also be necessary. Construction of the overpass and street improvements would include grading, aggregate base, bridge construction, bituminous base and surfacing, concrete curb and gutter, storm sewer, traffic signals, lighting, bituminous trail, water quality improvements, erosion control and final site restoration. 6 97 Duckwood Drive Overpass The typical section of Duckwood Drive would be a two -lane, 44 foot wide undivided roadway with concrete sidewalk and /or bituminous trail on both sides of the roadway. The bridge over 1 -35E would be approximately 65 feet wide, accommodating two lanes of traffic with shoulders and sidewalks on both sides of the roadway, comparable to the Northwood Parkway bridge. The bridge proposal is a three -span, prestressed concrete beam structure. Street lighting would also be installed within the public right of way. A dedicated right -turn lane is proposed to be added on northbound Pilot Knob Road, north of Duckwood Drive, providing earlier entrance to the existing free right -turn at the 1 -35E northbound entrance ramp in an effort to reduce traffic congestion. This minor improvement is anticipated to have a significant impact on the northbound AM rush hour traffic, which presently can often back -up as far south as Wescott Road. The dedicated right -turn lane will also be modified on westbound Duckwood Drive east of Pilot Knob Road as a safety enhancement. This intersection currently experiences a crash rate of 1.1, significantly higher than the typical rate of 0.8 for a similar type of signalized intersection. Half of the accidents occur at the northeast corner of the interection in conjunction with the right turn movements. The proposed improvement would also improve the safety of this location for pedestrians. An existing pond on each side of 1 -35E would be reconstructed and expanded to increase their stormwater treatment capacity for the benefit of the bridge and street improvements. Easement /Permits The Duckwood Drive extension would be constructed within public right -of -way. Existing right - of -way varies in width between 80 -feet and 100 -feet. The new bridge structure and abutment would be constructed in the 1 -35E right -of -way (Mn /DOT Right of Way Plat No. 19 -52). All of the requested easement or property acquisitions needed for construction have been completed, other than easements on the auto mall property at the northeast corner of Pilot Knob Road and Duckwood Drive for the proposed Duckwood Drive right turn lane modification. The improvements are not related to the overpass construction, but were added to the project for cost benefit purposes to address a long standing safety issue. The easements are being pursued through condemnation efforts so that the safety enhancements may be included with the overpass improvements. However, the project is able to proceed with the deletion of the right turn lane modifications without the acquisition of the easements. Duckwood Drive Overpass 7 17b Cost Estimate The cost estimate below is based on anticipated 2011 construction costs and includes a 10% contingency and indirect cost of 30 %, which include legal, administration, engineering, and bond interest. A summary of the costs is as follows: Expenses Estimated Duckwood Drive Overpass Cost $ 5,451,600 Estimated Pilot Knob /35 -E Ramp Right Lane Cost $ 114,800 Estimated Duckwood Dr Right Lane Cost $ 142,000 Estimated Pilot Knob /Duckwood Traffic Signal Cost $ 407,500 Estimated Right of Way /Easement Acquisition $ 920,500 Total Estimated Improvement Cost $ 7,036,400 Financing No special assessments are proposed to be levied for this project. The project will be funded through the City's Major Street Fund and cost participation agreements with Dakota County for related county road improvements. Revenue Source As part of the 2005 Federal Appropriation Act, $1,000,000 of funding was allocated to the Central Area Ring Road project with no requirements for matching local funds. Approximately $360,000 of the allocated federal funds were spent on the final design of the Northwood Parkway Overpass segment of the Central Area Ring Road in 2007. In 2009, approximately $100,000 was allocated for the completion of a Traffic Study for the Duckwood Drive segment of the Central Area Ring Road. The estimated cost for the completion of preliminary engineering, final design, environmental documentation and the preparation of plans and specifications for the construction of the Duckwood Drive Overpass segment of the Central Area Ring Road is $455,000. Any unallocated federal funds will be reserved for future transportation improvements in the Central Area which have been identified in the Duckwood Drive Overpass Traffic Study. The 2009 - 2012 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area will be amended to include $455,000 for the completion of preliminary engineering, final design, environmental documentation and the preparation of plans and 8 1 � I Duckwood Drive Overpass specifications for the construction of the Duckwood Drive Overpass segment of the Central Area Ring Road. Congestion reduction and safety enhancements recommended by the Dakota County Transportation Department have been included as part of the project for cost benefit purposes. Standard cost sharing between the County and City would follow the 55 %/45% policy for said improvements (50 %/50% on traffic signals). A summary of revenue sources is listed below: The City's Major Street Fund will finance the estimated project deficit of $6,215,300 (88% of total).

Subdivision 4C states that the Planning Commission shall recommend a conditional use pen and the Council shall issue such conditional use permits only if it finds that such use at the proposed location: Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. 2. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and City Code provisions.

Subdivision 4D, Conditions, states that in reviewing applications of conditional use permits, the Planning Commission and the Council may attach whatever reasonable conditions they deem necessary to mitigate anticipated adverse impacts associated with these uses, to protect the value of other property within the district, and to achieve the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. In all cases in which conditional uses are granted, the Council shall require such evidence and guarantees as it may deem necessary as proof that the conditions stipulated in connection therewith are being and will be complied with. BACKGROUND /HISTORY This property consists of a' /2 acre lot located on a cul -de -sac that backs up to I -35E. In 2006, the City approved an Interim Use Permit (IUP) to allow the applicant to have up to 4 guest dogs in her /DJ Planning Report — Lesley Tscherne February 22, 2011 Page 3 home. The applicant cares for special -needs dogs at the subject site in addition to having her own pet dogs. By definition, the keeping of 4 or more dogs over 6 months of age is considered a kennel and requires a kennel license. The applicant has maintained a kennel license for the past five years, as required by City Code and the Interim Use Permit. The Eagan Animal Control Officer has conducted regular inspections throughout the term of the IUP, all of which have been satisfactory. The City has no record of complaints regarding the kennel operations at the subject site. EXISTING CONDITIONS The single family home was built in 1993. The rear yard is fenced with a 6' wood privacy fence, and divided into two enclosed areas. In 2006, the applicant had three dogs of her own; she currently has just one. SURROUNDING USES The site is surrounded by single family homes, zoned PD and guided LD, and abuts I -35E to the east. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Code Requirements — Section 11.50 Subdivision 6 of the City Code provides for an Interim Use Pen "to allow for a reasonable use of property for uses not specifically permitted in a zoning district on a temporary basis as deemed appropriate by the city council upon recommendation of 1611 Planning Report — Lesley Tscherne February 22, 2011 Page 4 the advisory planning commission and benefit the public good." The evaluation criteria for an interim use pen are listed in the Authority For Review section of this report. Section 6.38 of the City Code defines a kennel as "any place, building, tract of land, abode or vehicle, wherein or whereon a total of four or more dogs, cats, ferrets, or rabbits or combination thereof, over six months of age, are kept, kept for sale, or boarded." Additionally, a license is required to operate or maintain a kennel. The license requirements and other City Code provisions relate specifically to the operations and conditions in which the animals are kept. If approved, the City Code requires an administrative kennel license in addition to the Interim Use Pen Regular inspections will be conducted by the Animal Control Officer for the annual kennel permit. Proposal — The applicant is requesting renewal of the IUP for another 5 -year term. While she currently has only one dog of her own, she wishes to retain the ability to adopt one or two more dogs, as would be permitted for any other single- family residence, and allow for up to 4 guest dogs, typically from one or two families at a time. The 2006 IUP provided for up to 4 guest dogs; therefore, at any one time, there would not be more than 7 dogs total. The applicant cares for dogs only as needed by their owners and typically takes in dogs for about 12 days in a month. The animals are primarily geriatric or special needs dogs that may require, among other things, medication, special diets, assistance with mobility or other special attention, as well as dogs that are emotionally challenged. Site Plan - No additional site or building modifications are proposed to the home or property. According to the applicant's narrative, she has 2 bedrooms in her home reserved for visiting dogs. The back yard is completely fenced in with a 6' wood privacy fence to allow the dogs room to run and exercise. Access to the site is from Blackhawk Cove. Visitor parking is available on the driveway and on the street for families dropping off or picking up their animals. Compatibility with Surrounding Area — While kennels are not typically permitted in residential zoning districts, the scale of this proposal and a history of satisfactory inspections and no complaints reflect an operation that appears compatible with the surrounding area. The IUP allows for uses not otherwise permitted in a zoning district, tenninates when the specified teen has elapsed, and requires a new application and public review if renewal of the IUP is requested in the future. We have received one letter (attached) from a neighbor in support of this request. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION Lesley Tscheme is requesting the approval of an Interim Use Permit to allow a kennel on the ' / 2 acre lot located at 3812 Blackhawk Ridge Place. Ms. Tscherne provides occasional dog "babysitting" services at her home, caring for up to 4 guest dogs at one time, most of which are special needs animals that require a high level of care and would not function well in a traditional kennel environment. City Code designates as a kennel any location where four or more dogs are kept. In addition to the zoning approval, an administrative kennel license is required.

In 2006, 1 requested and was granted a 5 year conditional use permit and a Eagan Kennel license. What I do is babysit "special needs" dogs in my home. I have attached my proposal and benefit statement from 2006 to this document. Everything is exactly the same except: I am 57 years old now. Some of the room decor is newer or fresher. In 2006, 1 owned 3 of my own dogs. The council granted me permission to have up to 7 dogs in my home. I have lost 2 of my dogs in the past 5 years due to old age. I presently only have one. I am requesting to keep that number at 7 for the following reasons. 1. In case I want to add to my family. (adopt another dog). 2. Babysitting 4 special. needs dogs is a very safe, manageable number for me to care for. I am suitably set up for it both in my house and outside. I am inspected yearly by animal control with no problems or situations to be addressed. I have done this for over 5 years without any complaints from my neighbors. My home is a very peaceful and a serene retreat for these animals. I have lived in Eagan since 1979. 1 have no intention of leaving. I feel it is the perfect city and location to retire in eventually. I love Eagan and feel good about actually being able to help some of its residents in my small way. I thank you for your attention, Lesley Tscherne l Written narrative describing proposal The intent of this request is to be granted permission by the City Council of Eagan to babysit just 2 families of dogs within my home. They are primarily geriatric, elderly or with special needs, be it physical or mental. I actually have been doing this for a little over a year without realizing this would constitute running a "kennel ". A "Good Samaritan" felt the need to inform the City of Eagan of my occasional caring for dogs and that's why I'm here before you now. • There is no time line because nothing at all needs to change from how my home is now. • The existing land use of the subject property is "planned development" or "my home ". My house is 3200 sf sitting on almost a' /2 acre of land contained within a wooden privacy fence. The majority of my land backs up to 35E. • My home is in a planned development. There are 16 homes within 350 feet of my property . Seven of these homes are actually in an entirely different cul de sac but happen to shoot off the back of my back yard. • The impact of this planned development amendment will not change one thing to the surrounding area. Nothing will change physically or structurally if this request is granted. Everything will be the same as it has been since I moved in in 1997. My property borders 35E on the entire back of my home. I live on a quiet cul de sac with Blackhawk Lake directly behind the houses across the cul de sac. I have included letters from my immediate neighbors stating that this would not be a problem or ever has been. These dogs lounge very comfortably within one of my 2 guest bedrooms. ( letters and photos inclosed) • The impact of this planned development amendment is nil. Not one thing will change the subjec property itself. It will be as it has been for the last 9 years. • In regards to your question of the impact of this planned development amendment on city services such as sewer, water, storm water run -off and roads is ZERO. Nothing is affected. In regards to the question of whether this proposed land use amendment would result in better use of the land, I definitely feel that helping a couple of elderly or special needs dogs in a quiet, loving, knowledgeable environment could be anything but a "better" use of 2 spare bedrooms in a big, empty house I have never, ever had one animal related complaint filed against me. Thank you for your attention FROM 2006 PROPOSAL 11�, Written narrative concisely describing the "public benefit" of the proposed amendment How many of you have or know of a dog that is either: • elderly, geriatric or just on in years ? physically challenged in some way be it blind, deaf, or could even have something as common as hip dysplasia and needs help walking or just getting around? has anxiety issues and needs special attention and comfort? needs ear or eye ointment daily or is taking daily pills ? has an ongoing chronic illness such as Pancreantitus, Addison's, Cushings disease? • very sensitive or in an emotional state that leaving it alone in a traditional kennel would mentally or physically end up traumatizing them? What I have done is opened the two guest bedrooms in my home to a small number of dogs. (4 max.) They are usually owned by my neighbors, friends or relatives. The people that ask for my help greatly fear leaving their pets behind when they need to travel for personal, business or inevitable family emergencies. (hospitalization, family crisises). I have made these rooms as safe, sanitary and comfortable as possible. They include human beds along with puffy dog beds. They have color television with cable. It is not unusual for me to talk with these parents daily regarding the health of their dogs. When I watch a dog for you, it has my full attention. I do special diets. I lift and carry the lame ones outside. I nurture and love the emotionally challenged ones. I administer daily medicines and frequently care for them late at night when no one is around in a conventional kennel situation. Being I only baby sit a couple of dogs, bordetella or kennel cough is unheard of when they stay with me. Sometimes, the dog is not the issue as much as the owners. When family emergencies or medical crisises arise, giving proper notice at a traditional kennel can be a problem. I am always flexible and ready to help in these situations. Frequently in an emergency, I will drive to pick up these dogs allowing the parents to attend to and concentrate on their crisis. Please understand, I am not asking to run a kennel operation. I am not asking to allow dogs to run wild and bark in my back yard. My caregiving is the total opposite of that. I am only asking your permission to allow me to care for a few special dogs (only 2 families) in the privacy of my home. I have never had a noise complaint. I have never had a feces complaint. I have a' /z acre of land that is fenced and live on a quiet cul de sac backing up to 35E. Most of my neighbors never even knew what I did until I told them. Then, they would ask me to help their dog. From 1995 to 1999, 1 created and ran one of the most well established and respected dog facilities in the country. (Silver Dog Bed and Biscuit) This work is my life, my passion and my formal training and education. By you allowing me to occasionally babysit a few special needs dogs, 1 feel that am contributing greatly to the publics need for a safe, healthy place to leave your dog which hopefully leaves you with total "peace of mind ". I am 52 years old and everything I have done in my life prior to now has led me to this point welcome any restrictions, visitations by city officials, and annual renewal.
