Approve revised Fund Balance Policy and related resolution committing specific revenue sources in Special Revenue Funds ACTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve (1) the revised Fund Balance Policy and (2) a resolution committing specific revenue sources in Special Revenue Funds FACTS: • As mentioned by KDV, our independent auditing firm, at last June's presentation of the City's annual financial statements, new reporting requirements related to fund balance will take effect with the December 31, 2011 financial report. • The proposed changes to the Fund Balance Policy are primarily housekeeping in nature to match up with new Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) terminology; there are no changes proposed to the existing General Fund fund balance target range. • GASB Statement No. 54 does away with the reserved /unreserved and designated /undesignated categorizations of fund balance and replaces them with five categories (from most restrictive to least): • Nonspendable — inventory, prepaid assets, other things not readily convertible to cash • Restricted — restricted by outside agencies, such as with debt covenants, State /Federal grants, etc. • Committed — restricted for a specific use by formal City Council action • Assigned — intended for a specific use (a) by the very nature of the fund (e.g., all of our special revenue funds, capital projects funds, and debt service funds) or (b) within the General Fund without formal Council action. ( "Cash flow" or "working capital" do not meet the "specific use" criteria.) • Unassigned — applies to fund balance in the General Fund that doesn't fall into one of the other categories • GASB 54 also requires that for fund balances to be committed, City Council action must be taken before the reporting year is concluded (i.e., December 31). Prior to GASB 54, the Council could restrict funds, for financial reporting purposes, anytime after year -end up until the financial statements were issued. • The Finance Committee met on November 29 to review the policy and the resolution regarding Special Revenue Funds, and directed staff to present both to the City Council for consideration of approval. ATTACHMENTS: • Mark -up draft of the proposed Fund Balance Policy revision is on pages �'^ � through - • Resolution to establish fund balance categories for existing Special Revenue funds is on pages and ! . 4�� DRAFT amendment — Nov 2011 City of Eagan FUND BALANCE POLICY FOR THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND I. DEFINITIONS "Fund balance" is the difference between a fund's assets and its liabilities. " Nonspendable fund balance" is the portion of fund balance that cannot be spent because of its form, such as inventory or prepaid expenses. "Restricted fund balance" is the portion of fund balance subject to externally enforceable limitations on its use, such as legislative restrictions, debt covenants, and grant restrictions. "Committed fund balance" is the portion of fund balance intended for a specific purpose and set aside by formal action of the City Council. "Assigned fund balance" is the portion of fund balance intended for a specific purpose, but is not nonspendable, restricted, or committed fund balance. "Unassigned fund balance" is the portion of fund balance that is neither nonspendable, restricted, committed, nor assigned. II. GENERAL FUND Purpose The purpose of this section of the policy is to set out the targeted range of the URdesignated unassigned fund balance in the City's General Fund, and to delineate the parameters to be considered as the basis for appropriation of the available fund balance resources and to establish the process for committing or assigning fund balance. Targeted Range The targeted range for the undesignat unassigned fund balance is 40 to 45% of the next year's general fund expenditure budget (excluding any contingency appropriations). ZMER Use Parameters The parameters for consideration of appropriation of the undesignat unassigned fund balance are as follows: 1. The fund balance is first and foremost the City's first -line contingency account and is looked upon as a savings account. 2. Appropriations of the fund balance should be for projects or expenditures of community -wide benefit. Fund balance should not be spent on projects that, absent this funding source, would not be considered on their own merits. Fund balance expenditures should eliminate existing tax levies or assist in avoiding future tax levies. 3. Appropriations of fund balance should not replace other revenue streams in support of required ongoing operational programs or service delivery. Non - replacement of other revenue streams assumes that fees are at proper levels to support related programs, other revenue sources are appropriately collected to support related activities, and taxes are at fair and competitive levels to support the community's desired level of programs and services. Fund balance appropriations should therefore be viewed as available for one -time or transitional expenditures only. Fund Balance Commitment/Assignment Unassigned or assigned fund balance may be committed for a specific purpose by formal action of the City Council. For year -end financial reporting purposes, the commitment must occur prior to December 31 to be reported as a committed fund balance for that year. The City Council has delegated authority to the Director of Administrative Services to designate a portion of the unassigned fund balance as assigned fund balance for an intended use for reporting purposes. Such designation for year- end reporting may occur subsequent to December 31 after preliminary results for the year are known. In practice such designations will be made with acknowledgment of the City Council. III. OTHER FUNDS Purpose The purpose of this section of the policy is to set out how special revenue funds will be established and how the components of fund balance in other funds are classified. I t7 2 Establishment of New Special Revenue Funds New Special Revenue funds will be established by resolution. The resolution for the each fund will include the specific revenue sources for that fund, the purpose(s) for which those revenues a nd other residual revenue streams (e.g., interes income and whether restricted or committed. Generally, all revenue types and related fund balances that do not comprise restricted fund balance will be established by the resolution as committed for the purpose of the fund. As such, the fund will not have an assigned fund balance. Other Non - Special Revenue Funds 1. Debt Service Funds a. Fund balances for debt service funds are restricted up to the amount of the outstanding principal and interest of the bonds for which the fund was established. b. Fund balances in excess of the restricted fund balance in special assessment improvement debt service funds are deemed committed fund balance as such fund balances, per City Code Section 2.79 are to be transferred to the Community Investment Fund upon closing of the debt service fund. c. Fund balance in excess of the restricted fund balance in other debt service funds are deemed assigned unless specifically committed by City Council action. 2. Capital Projects Funds a. Fund balances for TIF district capital projects funds are subject to State statutes restrictions and, accordingly, constitute restricted fund balances. b. Fund balances for capital projects funds that are funded by grants from government agencies or other external organizations also constitute restricted fund balances. c. Fund balances for other capital projects funds are considered assigned for the project or purpose for which the fund was established. i� RESOLUTION CITY OF EAGAN COMMITTING SPECIFIC REVENUE SOURCES IN SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS WHEREAS, Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 54 establishes various components of fund balance, including restricted fund balance, which comprises revenues with external (non -City) restrictions on their use, and committed fund balance, which comprises revenues committed to a specified purpose by the City Council; and WHEREAS, GASB 54 states that special revenue funds are used to account for and report proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects; and WHEREAS, the term "proceeds of specific revenue sources" establishes that one or more specific restricted or committed revenues should be the foundation for a special revenue fund and comprise a substantial portion of the fund's revenues; and WHEREAS, City Council action is required to formalize the commitment of the specific revenue sources to the specified purposes, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Eagan City Council that the specific revenue source(s) of each special revenue fund and the specific purposes for which they are restricted or committed are as follows: Fund Specific Revenue Sources Committed For Restricted For Housing Bond monitoring fee Housing Forfeitures DWI Forfeitures Law enforcement programs per MN Statutes 169A.63 Prostitution forfeitures Law enforcement programs per MN Statutes 609.5312 and 609.5313 MIF Revolving Loan Payments on existing Repayment to the State loans coordinated through (80 %) and funds for future the MN Investment Fund loans (20 %) per MN Statutes 116.1.8731, and MN Rules Chapter 4300 Cedarvale Special Services Property tax levy Special Services District District maintenance expenditures Cable TV Franchise Fees Cable franchise fees Communications - related expenditures, including Communications Dept operating expenditures accounted for in the General Fund; non -PEG eligible expenditures in the E -TV Fund; certain fiber installation projects 41 Fund Specific Revenue Sources Committed For Restricted For E -TV PEG fees Public, educational and government programming per 47 CFR 76.5 and the 1984 Cable Franchise Policy and Communica- tions Act BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the foundational revenue source and commitment and restriction of those sources is stated above, and it is known there will be other residual revenue streams, and it is the intention that these funds be committed for the same purpose specified for that fund.

M Agenda Memo December 6, 2011 City Council Meeting AA. Approve agreement with Vanco Services for ACH processing of utility customer bank -pay checks ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve an agreement with Vanco Services for ACH processing of utility customer bank -pay checks FACTS: • Many water /sewer utility customers pay their bills through their own bank's bill - pay service. Eagan receives more than 1,100 such bank -pay checks monthly. They are time - consuming to process as the bar -coded bill stub does not come with the check, thus requiring manual entry into the system. • Vanco offers a service that (a) converts the bank -pay checks into a single deposit directly to our bank account via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) and (b) provides a file that can post the payments to our utility billing software, saving City staff a significant amount of processing time. • The cost of the service is about $140 per month. • The City of Apple Valley contracts with Vanco for the same service and operates under an agreement identical to the one proposed here. That agreement was reviewed by the City Attorney. ATTACHMENT: • Vanco e.service Gateway Agreement is on page . 51 e.services GATEWAY AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT, is made and entered as of the date that the last party to agreement executes i between C.SerVICe.

APPROVE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING REALLOCATION OF ASSESSMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve a resolution authorizing reallocation of assessments (City of Eagan and Perron Family Members). FACTS: • In October of 2002 the City entered into an agreement with the Perron Family Members agreeing to defer $120,000 in roadway and storm sewer assessments and $17,650 in water main charges. • These assessments resulted from City Project 790R related to the construction of "Central Parkway" and "Quarry Road ". • The agreement deferred the assessments, without interest, until such time as the Property was sold, subdivided or otherwise developed, or until December 31, 2025, whichever occurred first. • The Southern Property of approximately 11 acres is under contract to be sold and the fee owners are requesting that upon subdivision, the roadway and watermain special assessments from Project No. 790R, which would otherwise be due and payable, be continued for deferment and reallocated against the northern approximately 12.9 acres (the Northern Property). • Per statutory requirements, other special assessments and taxes deferred by "Green Acres" will be paid upon the sale of the Southern Property. • Staff has reviewed the value of the parcels and believes that the Northern Property is valuable enough to support all of the remaining deferred special assessments and continued deferment will not cause any economic hardship to the City nor will it be inconsistent with past practice. • Given the timing of the various transactions and the actual subdivision, the City Attorney's Office has determined that approval of this resolution expressing the City's intent to enter into the new Assessment Agreement is the best way to meet the sellers' desires and to facilitate the sale of the Southern Property. • The terms of the new agreement are the same as those in the agreement being replaced except they are being applied only to the Northern Property.

MINNESOTA CLEAN WATER PARTNERSHIP GRANT APPLICATIONS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Authorize Submittal of Applications to Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for two Clean Water Partnership Grants: 1) Neighborhood Lakes Management Plans and 2) Blackhawk Lake Improvements. FACTS: • In 1987, the Minnesota Legislature authorized the creation and funding of the Clean Water Partnership (CWP) Program (Minn. Stat. §103F.701 to §103F.761) through the MPCA. The CWP Program focuses on controlling nonpoint sources of pollution (NPS) through watershed management to protect and improve surface and ground waters in Minnesota. It provides financial assistance through matching grants and loans and technical assistance to local units of government to lead NPS pollution control projects. • NPS pollution generally results from land runoff, precipitation, atmospheric deposition, drainage, or seepage. Unlike pollution from industrial and sewage treatment plants, NPS pollution is caused by rainfall or snowmelt runoff moving over and through the ground. This runoff picks up and carries away natural and human -made pollutants, depositing them into surface and ground waters. These sources together contribute huge quantities of phosphorus, bacteria, sediments, nitrates and other pollutants to the environment. They also represent the largest combined threat (about 86 percent) of the state's water pollution. • Since 1987, the Legislature has provided the CWP Program over $35 million for grants to study water bodies with pollution problems and to develop and implement action plans to fix the problems. CWP projects require large commitments of time and effort by participants. The program requires applicants to match grant money with cash or in -kind services. Local units of government must sponsor and act as fiscal agents of CWP projects. • The MPCA has awarded the City of Eagan three CWP grants: 1) $93,974 for Schwanz Lake (1994); 2) $48,985 for Fish Lake (1995); and 3) $55,276 for Blackhawk and Thomas lakes (2010). The City acquired a no- interest, $51,250 CWP loan in 1997 to construct the Fish Lake alum treatment facility. • The state 2012 -2013 biennium appropriation language indicates that priority shall be given for diagnostic studies or implementation projects preventing impairments and degradation to (i.e., protecting and improving) Minnesota waters that currently meet the state's water quality standards, in accordance with (Minn. Stat. §I 14D.20, subd. 2(4). Effective October 31, 2011, the MPCA is accepting proposals for CWP project grants from local units of government interested in leading NPS pollution control projects. The MPCA anticipates over $1.2 million of grant funds will be available. Proposals for Resource Investigation Projects and for Implementation Projects are due December 30, 2011. • Eagan's 2007 Water Quality and Wetland Management Plan (WQWMP) recommended development of management plans for priority lakes. Lake management plans are detailed feasibility studies that evaluate the costs and benefits of management alternatives and then provide specific costs and design guidance for recommended capital improvements as well as non - structural management activities. According to the WQWMP, as lake management plans are adopted, the City will include the recommended capital improvement elements in its 5 -year Water Quality Capital Improvements Program. • With a $90,000 MPCA grant, the City completed plans for the first two priority lakes (Fish and Schwanz) in 2010. Through its current CWP grant, the City will complete plans for the next two priority lakes ( Blackhawk and Thomas) by the end of this year or early next year. • A proposed Neighborhood Lakes Resource Investigation Project would monitor, assess, and develop diagnostic studies on the status of eight (50 percent) of Eagan's remaining priority lakes and develop implementation plans to protect or improve them. A proposed Blackhawk Lake Implementation Project would implement some of the recommended activities identified by the Blackhawk Lake and Thomas Lake CWP Project, after it is approved by the MPCA.

A new house with a building coverage of 1,140 sq. ft. was constructed in 1975 to replace the old farm house. The single -stall detached garage was added to the property in the mid 1970's and was located in the rear yard. ➢ The current owners purchased the property in 1993 and relocated the driveway access from Dodd Road to Bradford Place. ➢ In 2000, the City adopted an ordinance limiting the total size (800 sq. ft.) and number of detached accessory buildings (2). ➢ The applicant proposes to replace the single stall detached garage with a new 1,248 sq. ft. garage that includes a carport. The proposed garage exceeds the square footage allowed per code. ➢ The proposed garage also exceeds the allowed wall height (12' 6" versus 11') and is not similar to the roof pitch of the home. ➢ The old farm buildings will remain and the applicant has indicated they have plans for continued use of them. ➢ Lot coverage requirements are satisfied. ➢ City Code allows a maximum of two detached accessory structures. The existing chicken coop, existing grain barn and the new garage total three detached accessory structures. r7 4 ➢ City Code limits the combined square footage of detached accessory structures to 800 sq. ft. With the proposed new garage, the three accessory structures will total 1,952 sq. ft., a Variance of 1,152 sq. ft. ➢ City Code defines an accessory use as "subordinate and incidental to the principal use." Thus, the size of detached accessory structures must be smaller than the principal dwelling. The house is 1,140 sq. ft. in area, and the accessory structures total 1,952 sq. ft., a Variance of 812 sq. ft. ISSUES: ➢ The City Attorney has advised that allowing accessory structures larger than the principal dwelling raises concerns about effectively rezoning the property, changing the principal use from residential to storage. ➢ The replacement or expansion of a non - conforming structure is contrary to the Zoning Code. 60 DAY AGENCY ACTION DEADLINE: January 19, 2012 ATTACHMENTS (2): Location Map, page Planning Report on pages 11through -1S PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: December 2, 2011 APPLICANT: Lester Bordsen PROPERTY OWNER: Same REQUEST: Variance LOCATION: 733 Bradford Place CASE: 24- VA- 03 -11 -11 HEARING DATE: December 6, 2011 APPLICATION DATE: Nov. 14, 2011 PREPARED BY: Sarah Thomas COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: LD, Low Density Residential ZONING: R -1, Single Family Residential SUMMARY OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of the following Variances for the subject property located at 733 Bradford Place. a. To allow more than two detached accessory structures; b. To allow accessory structures in excess of 800 sq. ft.; c. To allow the size of accessory structures to exceed the size of the house; d. To allow an accessory structure in the front yard; e. To allow an accessory structure that exceeds the wall height requirements; f. To allow an accessory structure with a roof pitch that doesn't match the principal structure. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subdivision 3, B., 3, states that the Council may approve, approve with conditions or deny a request for a variance. In considering all requests for a variance and whether the applicant established that there are practical difficulties in complying with the provisions(s) of this Chapter, the City Council shall consider the following factors: a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity, and result from lot size or shape, topography, or other circumstances over which the owner of property has no control. b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Code would deprive the applicant property use commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the provisions of this Code. Planning Report — Bordsen Variance December 6, 2011 Page 2 c. The exceptional or extraordinary circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. d. The granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Chapter to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. e. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the practical difficulties. f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this Code or to properties in the same zone. g. The property for which the variance is requested is otherwise in compliance with the City Code. The key here may be letter d. that states "The granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Chapter to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district." The City has not allowed this type of privilege to other R -1 properties. The recently adopted Variance legislation is reflected in the City Code language above and also contains the following: Subd. 3, A. "Practical difficulties" as used in conjunction with the granting of a variance, means that the applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning provisions of this Code; the plight of the applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the applicant; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Subd. 3, B., 3. A variance will be denied when it is not in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning provisions of this Code or when the variance is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. Any condition imposed upon the approved variance must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. CODE REQUIREMENTS City Code Section 11.30, Definitions, defines the following; accessory use as "a subordinate use that is located upon the same lot on which the primary use is situated and which is reasonably necessary and incidental to the conduct of the primary or main use." and building, accessory as "means an accessory structure detached from the principal structure, having a roof and walls to provide weather protection. This includes detached garages, storage sheds, gazebos and similar structures. A carport attached to an accessory building is considered part of that accessory building." --79 Planning Report — Bordsen Variance December 6, 2011 Page 3 City Code Section 11.40, Subd. 5, Accessory buildings, structures and uses, states in part: 1. No accessory use or building shall be allowed within a required front yard setback. With the exception of an attached garage, no accessory building or structure may be placed with the front yard. 2. No more than two detached accessory building may be permitted for each dwelling. 5. When an attached garage is not present on the site, the total floor area of all detached accessory structures shall not exceed 800 square feet. 6. The roof of all detached accessory structures exceeding 120 square feet in size shall match the pitch and style of the principal structure. and 8. In no event shall the inside wall height of any detached accessory structure, including a detached garage, exceed 11 feet as measured from the floor to the roof decking. City Code Section 11.40, Nonconforming structures and uses, Subd. 9(C)(G) states " ... no nonconforming structure shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed, altered, or changed in any manner which is not in conformity with this subdivision. No structure shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed, altered, or changed in any manner upon any land upon which a nonconforming use is conducted." And "No provision hereunder shall preclude a request for a variance, as governed by this chapter, for the erection or reconstruction of a nonconforming structure. This provision does not apply to any nonconforming uses." City Code Section 11.40, Subd. 9A, Nonconforming Uses and Structures - Policy, states "It is the policy of the city that nonconforming structures and nonconforming uses in time be eliminated due to obsolescence, exhaustion or destruction so as to insure a uniform use of and within the districts established within this chapter." BACKGROUNDIHISTORY The property is unplatted. The subject site is adjacent to single family homes to the north which are within the "Hills of Stonebridge ", platted in 1987. The property is a corner lot, located south of Bradford Place, west of Dodd Road and east of Wandering Walk Park. According to the applicant, access was originally from Dodd Road until they relocated the driveway to Bradford Place. According to the applicant's narrative, the original farm homestead on this property dates back to the early 1900's. The existing house was constructed in 1975 to replace the original farmhouse. The old farmstead was subdivided over time; the present lot is 1.7 acres in size and is zoned R -1, Single - family residential. The current owners purchased the property in 1993 and have been making improvements to the site since that time. The property contains the original grain barn and chicken coop. 9 Planning Report — Bordsen Variance December 6, 2011 Page 4 In 2000, the City adopted an ordinance pertaining to accessory structures which limited the size and number of accessory structures. Upon adoption of that ordinance, the existing accessory structures on this property became non - conforming as to number and size. EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing home is 1,140 sq. ft. and the garage is 280 sq. ft. The original grain barn (16' x 26', 416 sq. ft.) and chicken coop (12' x 24', 288 sq. ft.) also remain on the property. According to the applicant, the grain barn is used as a woodworking shop and the chicken coop is used as a dog kennel. The single stall detached garage is in disrepair and the applicant proposes to replace it with a new, 2 '/2 stall garage with an attached carport (Garage 28' x 32', 896 sq. ft., Carport 11' x 32', 352 sq. ft., Total 1,248 sq. ft.). APPLICANT'S ESTIMATE OF HARD The applicant has made numerous improvements to the property, as outlined in the narrative; these include removing some dilapidated structures, connecting to natural gas, re- roofing the grain barn and chicken coop and they have future plans to re -side these two structures to their original vertical cedar plank siding boards. The applicant also plans to build an addition onto the existing home at some point in the future. They are proposing to replace the single -stall garage to provide vehicle storage and space for a wood working area. An attic is proposed for storage. A carport is proposed to park the boat and camper with cover from the elements and to provide screening from the public right -of -way. The current City Code does not permit a garage of the size proposed. The proposed garage is significantly larger than the existing garage it is intended to replace (280 sq. ft. vs. 1,248 sq. ft.). Without taking into account the other assorted existing farmstead structures, it exceeds the City Code requirement for maximum detached accessory structure size by 448 sq. ft. (1,248 sq. ft. vs. 800 sq. ft.). EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposal — The applicant proposes to replace the existing 14' x 20' garage with a new 28' x 32' garage. As previously stated, the new garage would be used for storage of the applicant's vehicles, woodworking, storage, as well as a carport to store a boat and camper. The City Attorney has advised that allowing more accessory space than dwelling space is tantamount to a rezoning because the R -1 District requires the principal use to be dwelling space and the approval of this request will result in the use of the dwelling space being accessory to the storage use. Planning Report — Bordsen Variance December 6, 2011 Page 5 The City Code limits the number of detached accessory structures to two, the total area of detached accessory structures to 800 sq. ft. (when an attached accessory use is not present), and by definition, an accessory use (garage) must be subordinate and incidental to the primary use (dwelling) of the property. Additionally, a carport is considered part of an accessory structure. The property currently contains three accessory buildings — the existing garage (280 sq. ft.), the grain barn (416 sq. ft.), and the chicken coop (288 sq. ft.). These existing buildings all were constructed prior to adoption of the current accessory structures ordinance which limits the number and size of accessory buildings on a parcel. Thus, the existing accessory structures are considered non - conforming under Section 11.40, Subd. 9, Nonconforming uses and structures, of the City Code. The applicant is proposing to rebuild the garage and the City Code does permit the applicant to request a Variance to rebuild a non - conforming structure. Number of Accessory Structures — There are three existing detached accessory structures on the property. City Code permits only two detached accessory structures. Rebuilding the single stall garage as a 2 and % stall garage maintains the existing non - conforming situation with three detached accessory structures which is contrary to the intent of the City Code. Looking at the situation strictly from a numbers perspective, one of the three existing detached accessory structures would need to be removed in order to avoid the nonconforming status of all three. Per direction from the City Attorney, the applicant will need to permanently remove one of the three accessory structures in order to rebuild the garage and for the City Council to consider a Variance(s). Square Footage of Accessory Structures — As proposed, the three detached accessory structures will total 1,952 sq. ft. City Code limits the combined size of all detached accessory structures to a maximum of 800 sq. ft. At 1,248 sq. ft., the proposed garage solely would exceed that amount. The applicant's narrative states they have already removed an old brooder house and an outhouse. The size of those structures is unknown but there has been a net reduction in the total amount of accessory structures. However, with the proposed garage, the total accessory structures will exceed the 800 sq. ft. maximum by 1,152 sq. ft. Size of Accessory Structures Relative to Principal Structure — The proposed detached accessory structures exceed the size of the principal building by 812 sq. ft. The house is 1,140 sq. ft. and the accessory structures total 1,952 sq. ft. While the proposed new garage does not increase the number of accessory structures on the property, it perpetuates the existing non - conforming situation and is not consistent with the intent of the City Code which defines accessory uses as "subordinate" and "incidental" to the principal use (dwelling). The City denied a similar Variance proposal in 2006 in part because of concerns that approval of the Variance would effectively rezone the property, changing the use from residential to a designation that allows storage as a primary use. Also, while the current owner is proposing to use the new garage for storage of vehicles and a woodworking shop, there is a concern about the future use of such accessory structures for commercial purposes, which would be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance. rM Planning Report — Bordsen Variance December 6, 2011 Paize 6 Accessory Structure Located in Front Yard — The proposed garage would be located in the same location as the existing garage, maintaining a 100 foot setback to Bradford Place. Originally, this property was not a corner lot, and access was from Dodd Road. At that time, the location of the garage was conforming. While the proposed new garage does perpetuate the existing nonconforming situation (as to location), the existing garage was established in a conforming way at that location. While topography does not seem to be an issue to relocate the garage, the existing farmstead accessory buildings along with the refurbished period windmill, yard improvements and existing vegetation may make it difficult to relocate the garage outside of the front yard area. Accessory Structure in Excess of Wall Height Requirements — The proposed garage exceeds the wall height allowed per City Code for detached accessory structures. City Code Section 11.40, Subd. 5C9, states "In no event shall the inside wall height of any detached accessory structure, including a detached garage, exceed 11 feet as measured from the floor to the roof decking." The applicant's plans note that the soffit will match the elevation of the house not to exceed 10 feet; however, based upon City Code, the measurement of the wall is 12' 6 ", which exceeds the code by 1' 6 ". Roof Pitch — The proposed pitch of the garage roof is inconsistent with the City Code. City Code Section 11.40, Subd. 5C6, states "The roof of all detached accessory structure exceeding 120 sq. ft. in size shall match the pitch and style of the principal structure." The applicant's plans note that the roof pitch of the garage is a 10/12 pitch and the carport roof is a 4/12 pitch. The narrative states the applicant has replaced the former 3 '/2 pitch trussed roof on the home and "...replaced it with a 12/12 pitch trussed roof in keeping with the German influence." While the proposed garage pitch is similar to the new roof pitch of the home, the carport is not nearly as steep and is inconsistent with City Code. Platting — The property is unplatted. The property will need to be platted prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the new detached garage or any other Building Permit needed for siding or other improvements. Proof of recording must be provided before issuance of any Building Permit. Parking — City Code requires at least two enclosed parking spaces for each dwelling unit. Therefore, since the applicant proposes to remove the lone detached garage on the property, a building permit must be issued prior to commencing construction of the new garage and prior to demolition of the existing garage. Setbacks and Other Performance Standards — According to the Site Plan, the proposed structure is located in the front yard and will maintain existing setbacks of 100 feet from the public right - of -way and 20 feet from the side lot line. i- Planning Report — Bordsen Variance December 6, 2011 Paee 7 The new garage is proposed to be finished with cedar lap siding to match the existing home. The plan does not specify the type shingles to be used on the roof. The shingles should match the colors of the existing house roof. City Code limits building coverage to 20% of the lot area. The proposed building coverage is 3.99 %. Variance Criteria — The Zoning Ordinance states that relief may be granted from a required ordinance provision where practical difficulties result from carrying out the strict letter of the regulations of such Code provision, provided "the applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning provisions of this Code; the plight of the applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the applicant; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." The applicant is proposing to construct a detached garage. There is a single - family home with two detached accessory structures on the property. Replacement of the garage appears to be a reasonable use of the property; however, a smaller garage which by itself does not exceed the maximum square footage of 800 sq. ft. may be more reasonable. It appears the special conditions that may pertain to this property are the size (1.7 acres) and the history of the property; however, the property could be subdivided at any point in the future. The large size of the subject property may mitigate some of the impact of the accessory structures in terms of mass and bulk (proposed lot coverage is 3.99% as compared to the 20% maximum) and allows for greater setbacks (20 and 100 feet from side lot lines and the public right -or -way rather than the standard 5' and 30' minimum). While the history and presence of old buildings is unique to this property, the new garage and carport (without the farm buildings) still exceed the allowable 800 sq. ft. size limit and the size relative to the house. The relief sought by the applicant does not necessarily appear to be contrary to the Comprehensive Guide Plan, but it appears inconsistent with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance. Replacement of a non - conforming building is contrary to the stated purpose in the ordinance. While the ordinance does permit consideration of a Variance, the minimum variance to alleviate the practical difficulties is required to support the Variance request. City Code requires that the Variance requested be the minimum necessary to alleviate the hardship. The Variance request is substantial (accessory structure space 1,152 sq. ft. more than the 800 sq. ft. maximum specified in the ordinance, and 812 sq. ft. larger than the dwelling). In addition, the type of detached garage proposed requires two additional Variances pertaining to the wall height and roof pitch. Granting of the Variance may not result in detrimental effects to the neighboring properties or the public because the size of the property mitigates some of the impacts of the Variance. However, there is some concern about future use of the accessory structures for commercial purposes. Planning Report — Bordsen Variance December 6, 2011 Paee 8 A similar Variance proposal was denied in 2006 in part because of concerns that approval of the Variance would effectively rezone the property. Also, another Variance was approved in 2007 for a similar farmstead property; however, with that scenario, while the same number of accessory structures stayed the same, the replacement building resulted in slightly less overall square footage. The applicant is requesting relief from a limit on the number and size of the accessory buildings. A reasonable use, single family dwelling and single stall detached garage, is present on the site. Thus, the owner has the same opportunity for use as other properties zoned for single - family use without relief from the Zoning Ordinance. Also, the Variance raises concerns about changing the principal use from residential to storage, in effect rezoning the property. While the size of the property could be a mitigating factor, the property could be subdivided and the applicant does not appear to have presented any practical difficulty that is related to the land and unique to this property. The applicant has presented their woodworking, storage space and coverage for a boat and camper as the reason they need more garage space. Possessing items and wanting them out of the elements is not a condition related to the land, nor is it unique to this property. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION The City Attorney has stated that allowing more accessory space than dwelling space is tantamount to a rezoning because the R -1 District requires the principal use to be dwelling space and this request will result in the use of the dwelling space to become accessory to the storage use. The applicant is requesting approval of six Variances to allow construction of a detached garage at 733 Bradford Place. The property is 1.7 acres in size and is zoned R -1. The property is the site of an old farmstead and contains the original grain barn and chicken coop. The original farmhouse was replaced in 1975 and an old garage was moved onto the property in the mid 1970's. The applicant proposes to replace the existing 280 sq. ft. single stall detached garage with an 1,248 sq. ft. 2 1 /2 stall detached garage. The existing accessory structures will remain. The net result is 968 additional accessory square footage and the same number of accessory structures from what exists today. The requested Variances would allow the site to continue to have three detached accessory structures, the combined size of the accessory structures exceeding 800 sq. ft., and the combined size of accessory structures exceeding the size of the house. The proposed detached garage would be located in the same location as the existing, which is in a front yard. Originally, the property was not a corner lot, and the location was in the rear yard. The applicant has indicated that their vehicles and a wood working shop would be in the garage with storage in the attic above, along with a boat and camper under the attached carport. The existing detached garage is in disrepair and replacing it with a new garage would provide appropriate storage and keep it from public view. The new garage building will be complementary in materials to the existing house; however, the wall height exceeds City Code standard and the pitch is not similar (Proposed Garage 10/12, Proposed Carport 4/12 and Existing Home 12/12) to the roof of the home. 0 Planning Report — Bordsen Variance December 6, 2011 Paae 9 The size of the property mitigates some of the concerns relative to setbacks and bulk. Concerns remain that the proposed Variances effectively rezones the property from residential to storage being the primary use. Also, there is some concern about the future use of the property and that the oversized garage will be used for commercial purpose, and about the replacement of a non- conforming structure, both of which are contrary to the Zoning Code. City Policymakers may find that some of the Variances are within reason and allow the replacement of the garage, but separate actions for each Variance are necessary. ACTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED 1. To approve a Variance to allow more than two detached accessory structures on property located at 733 Bradford Place. 2. To approve a Variance to allow accessory structures in excess of 800 sq. ft on property located at 733 Bradford Place. 3. To approve a Variance to allow the size of accessory structures to exceed the size of the house on property located at 733 Bradford Place. 4. To approve a Variance to allow an accessory structure in the front yard on property located at 733 Bradford Place. 5. To approve a Variance to allow an accessory structure that exceeds the wall height requirements for the subject property located at 733 Bradford Place. 6. To approve a Variance to allow an accessory structure with a roof pitch that doesn't match the principal structure on property located at 733 Bradford Place. All approved Variances shall be subject to the following conditions: 1. If within one year after approval, the Variance shall not have been completed or utilized, it shall become null and void unless a petition for extension has been granted by the council. Such extension shall be requested in writing at least 30 days before expiration and shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or utilize the use permitted in the Variance. 2. A building permit shall be issued prior to commencing construction of the new garage and prior to demolition of the existing garage. 3. The existing detached garage shall be removed prior to construction of the new garage. 4. The proposed garage and roof shall match the existing house in finish materials and colors. 5. The property shall be platted prior to issuance of any building permits. Proof of recording shall be provided before issuance of the building permit. • City of Eap Current Zoning and Land Use Map Application: 733 Bradford Place - Lester Bordsen Type: Variance Case No.: 24-VA-03-11-11 Zoning R-1 - Residential Single Family Land Use Plan LD - Low Density �A N P, Subject Site P ----- UP D O/S - D - Z C P I QP 1 1 1 LD I 0 300 600 1,200 g 7 EMMMM::=� Feet A RA, - --------- Subject Site ......... . 1.

We purchased our property of nearly 2 acres from the estate of Hertha McCarthy. Since this time we have been working at bringing this property up to date. Hertha's parents, who had migrated from Germany, had built the original farm stead in with German influence in the early 1900's. The old home stead home had been replaced by a small rambler built in 1975. The property for the double cul -de -sac neighborhood around this property was purchased from Hertha and developed with some 11 homes in the early 1990's. Heartha's property had been left unattended for 4 years since her passing when we purchased it in July of 1993. Animals had taken over the residence and had been living in the 4 out buildings. The yard had been growing wild for 4 years and was in terrible shape as were the buildings. Some of the upgrades we have done were to remove the old brooder house, tear down the outhouse, have natural gas brought in and the old 500 gallon propane tank removed. We upgraded the electrical to a 200 amp service and removed the overhead phone and electrical pole and had those brought in underground. We re- located the driveway from Dodd road to Bradford place. We tore off the entire 3 -1/2 pitch trussed roof and replaced it with a 12/12 pitch trussed roof in keeping with the German influence. All the windows were removed and upgraded to high efficient windows and we resided the entire house. We built a covered porch on the front and a deck on the side of the house. The entire property was re- graded and landscaped with an irrigation system installed. We hydro- seeded the entire lawn and built retaining walls. Installed a brick paver driveway and patio /fire pit area with several flower gardens built into the retaining walls and surrounding landscape. The small grain barn and the chicken coup were re- roofed back to the original cedar shake shingles. We also replaced the old windmill with a refurbished period windmill. In the near future we hope to build an addition onto the house and reside the 2 out buildings to its original vertical cedar plank siding boards after the garage project is complete. Currently there is an old garage that had been moved onto the property back in the mid 70's. The new garage we hope to build would replace the old run down garage. The garage will be used for parking our cars out of the weather and a space for some wood working. The upstairs attic space is for storage. We plan to have a roof extend on the back side to park our boat and pop up camper under a cover and out of site. Please consider allowing us to continue with our plans to upgrade and maintain the original farmstead as best we can. We do not want to lose any more of the outbuildings as they add to the rich history of the property. We feel the property is large enough to easily fit a new garage in replacement of the old run down garage that is currently there. We feel we would be adding value not only to our property but to the neighbor's property as well. Agenda Information Memo December 6, 2011 Eagan City Council Meeting B. COACHMAN OAKS HOUSING IMPROVEMENT AREA — CITY OF EAGAN ACTIONS TO CONSIDER: To Continue the item to the December 20, 2011 regular City Council Meeting. The Public Hearing notice was not published in the Legal Newspaper and there was an error in the mailed notices. Both situations will be corrected so consideration can occur on December 20. FACTS: ➢ The owners of the Coachman Oaks Condominiums have requested that the City establish a Housing Improvement Area to finance the estimated cost of improvements of $1,583,000. Capitalized interest, administrative costs, etc., raise the required bond issue (debt) to $1,660,000. ➢ A city may create a Housing Improvement Area to finance improvements to the common areas of condo and townhome associations when other financing cannot be obtained. This financing mechanism was adopted by the state legislature due to the inability of homeowner associations to readily obtain financing because they have very little collateral and cannot mortgage individual's units. ➢ Within a Housing Improvement Area, the City may finance housing improvements and recover the cost by assessing fees, much like special assessments. The fees are assessed against each unit, and appear on the property tax statement to be paid by the individual homeowners with their taxes. ➢ The sequence of events that has preceded the public hearing is as follows: ❑ In 2005, the City Council was approached by one of the City's Homeowners Association regarding the potential creation of a City policy for the creation of Housing Improvement District. ❑ In response, the City Council adopted a policy on September 20, 2005 that would permit consideration of petitions and the process by which applications would be reviewed. ❑ On May 4, 2011, the City Council received the Coachman Oaks Homeowners Association preliminary application and petition and authorized staff to request that the Association make a formal submittal of 9`— improvement plans, detailed financial plans and a fee to cover City costs associated with the detailed review. ❑ Those submittals were made and reviewed by City staff, the City Attorney, the Dakota County CDA and Ehlers and Associates, the City's fiscal consultant. They are in order for formal consideration through the public hearing process. ❑ On November 15, 2011, the City Council adopted a resolution calling for a public hearing on December 6, 2011, and notice was duly published and distributed to the owners of each unit, as required by state law. ➢ The total cost of the improvements, financed by the City, is estimated to be $1,583,000. The City will make a loan to the association in an amount of $1,660,000 at an interest rate of 5.0% and amortized over 15 years. ➢ The proposed fee is being spread against 218 units and the fees for the individual homeowners ranges from: ❑ $544.98 per year ($45.42 per month) to $1,176.72 per year ($98.06 per month) Or ❑ $5,656.71 to $12,214.00 total if paid in full ➢ Following the public hearing, if the City Council wishes to proceed in establishing the Coachman Oaks Housing Improvement Area, the Council should direct staff to prepare: ❑ an ordinance establishing the Housing Improvement Area; • a resolution imposing housing improvement fees; and • a development agreement between the City and the association Each of these items will come back to the Council for consideration on January 3, 2012.

BY ORDER OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EAGAN, MINNESOTA /s/ Michael Ridley, AICP City Planner q� Agenda Information Memo December 6, 2011 Eagan City Council Meeting C. PROJECT 1085, DENMARK AVE — PROMENADE PLACE TO TOWN CENTRE DRIVE INTERSECTION TRAFFIC CONTROL & STREET IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve Project 1085 (Denmark Ave - Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive — Intersection Traffic Control & Street Improvements) as presented and authorize the preparation of detailed plans and specifications. FACTS: • On March 16, 2010, the Council approved an agreement with Dakota County (under Project 925) that provided for the Engineering Design, Right of Way acquisition and Construction of Yankee Doodle Road enhancements. Due to the difficulties and expense of acquiring right of way related to an extension of Promenade Ave from Yankee Doodle Road to Town Centre Dr, that portion of Project 925 has been delayed /deleted by the County. • Other intersection modifications on Yankee Doodle Road at both Denmark Avenue and Yankee Place, as well as on Denmark Avenue at Town Centre Drive were also identified in Project 925. Minor geometric modifications to the Yankee Doodle Road and Denmark Avenue intersection would allow the existing signal to function more efficiently by allowing opposing left turn movements on Denmark Avenue to operate concurrently. The proposed changes to the Denmark Avenue and Town Center Drive intersection provide more storage for northbound vehicles turning left onto Yankee Doodle Road. • With the delay in the Promenade Avenue extension and its signal at Yankee Doodle Road as mentioned above, City Staff prepared a Feasibility Report for a separate City Project 1035 to focus on the identified Denmark Avenue improvements. An assessable pavement preservation overlay on Denmark Avenue was also added to the project's scope as a result of staffs analysis as part of the City's Pavement Management Program. • On May 3, 2011, the original Feasibility Report was presented at a public hearing. Due to concerns expressed by adjacent business representatives, the City Council canceled Project 1035 and directed staff to further evaluate the improvements identified under Project 1035 in coordination with the proposed Yankee Doodle Road improvements included as part of Project 925. The Council also directed staff to prepare a revised feasibility report with updated recommendations for Council consideration. • On November 1, 2011, the feasibility report for Project 1085 was presented to the City Council and a Public Hearing was scheduled for December 6 to formally present and discuss the report with the adjacent property owners. • An informational neighborhood meeting was held on November 28 for the adjacent property owners and representatives to discuss the proposed improvements. Of the twelve (12) total properties (all Commercial/Retail) proposed to be assessed under this improvement, three (3) property owners or representatives attended the meeting. • All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent to all affected property owners informing them of this public hearing.

After significant discussion at multiple meetings, on March 20, 2007, the City Council provided consensus on the various proposed preferred alternatives for each of the three segments included in the final draft of the corridor and access management study. As part of this discussion, the City Council indicated interest in the operational review of the intersection of Denmark Avenue and Promenade Place, a private driveway access to the Eagan Promenade. Staff review acknowledged that the east leg of the intersection operated poorly for westbound traffic, with long delays and queues that block access to adjacent parking lots. Accordingly, an intersection improvement was scheduled for 2011 in the 2009 -2013 Capital Improvement Program. Street - As a part of Eagan's Pavement Management Program, (PMP), the City evaluates streets within the community throughout their life cycle and implements appropriate maintenance strategies. In 1989, a Pavement Management System (PMS) was developed that allowed the City to evaluate the condition of the existing pavement surface for all the streets on a routine basis and schedule timely maintenance. A Five Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for street rehabilitation is developed from this information. There are approximately 0.2 miles (1,150 feet) of major collector street in the Eagan Promenade and Town Centre neighborhoods in north - central Eagan impacted by the proposed project. The street segment was not identified for street revitalization improvements in the 2011 -2015 CIP. Figure 1, located in Appendix B, illustrates the proposed project location. The streets in this commercial neighborhood were constructed or overlayed in 1996. Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 1 lot Based on the data and engineering strategies available at this time, the City's current PMP incorporates local and ongoing maintenance strategies with seal coating occurring as needed (at 5 to 7 years, again at 12 to 14 years) with a bituminous overlay at approximately 15 -20 years for Major Collectors or higher functional classified roads. Overlaying the roadways located within the project area, which is presently at or approaching the 15 year time frame, will prevent further decay of the pavement surface, thus protecting and extending the structural life of the streets. Median improvements recommended by the Yankee Doodle Road Corridor and Access Management Study are scheduled to be completed by Dakota County (Project 28 -30) in 2012 that will result in street surface patches within this segment of street. Coordination of an overlay in conjunction with the median improvements would enhance the street's structural integrity. Timely maintenance work, such as bituminous patching, crack sealing and seal coating have occurred at appropriate intervals during the life of the pavement in the area. The City of Eagan's maintenance records indicate that Denmark Avenue was seal coated south and north of Yankee Doodle Road in 2002 and 2008. The Public Works Department has also inspected the utility infrastructure (sanitary sewer, water main, and storm sewer) in the project area and determined the system is in good working order and that no major repairs are necessary. Project History — On May 3, 2011, the City Council held a public hearing for Project 1035. At the conclusion of the public hearing, Council directed staff to further evaluate the improvements identified under Project 1035 in coordination with additional modifications and improvements in the area surrounding the intersections of Yankee Doodle Road with Denmark Avenue, Yankee Place and Promenade Avenue (Dakota County Project 28 -30). The Council also directed staff to prepare a revised feasibility report with updated recommendations for Council consideration. In preparation for the May 3 public hearing, staff held a neighborhood informational meeting on April 25, 2011. City staff presented the improvements proposed in the original Project 1035 feasibility report, including a new traffic control signal at the intersection of Denmark Avenue Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 2 /Oa- and Promenade Place (a private driveway), and Dakota County Project 28 -30, including the removal of the southbound left turn movement at Denmark Avenue /Town Centre Drive. A majority of the adjacent commercial property owners /representatives were in attendance. A fruitful discussion with the property representatives followed the staff presentation. Relevant concerns were presented about the installation of a new traffic control signal, the removal of the existing southbound left turn movement and the delay of the installation of a traffic signal at the Yankee Doodle Road /Promenade Avenue intersection. Follow -up discussions with the City's consulting engineer and County staff after the informational meeting and public hearing indicated opportunities to revise the proposed design to address some of the concerns, while delaying other improvements until greater need was indicated. Scope This revised project would provide the reconfiguration of the intersection of Denmark Avenue /Town Centre Drive, maintaining the existing southbound left turn movement while enabling the expansion of the northbound left turn lanes onto Yankee Doodle Road. The improvements would include the installation of traffic control signal modifications at this intersection and median revisions and resurfacing (edge mill and overlay) on Denmark Avenue on both sides of the intersection for approximately 0.2 miles (1150 feet) in coordination with County Project 28 -30. Figure 2 in Appendix B, illustrates the street improvements. The revised project does not propose any improvements at the intersection of Denmark Avenue and Promenade Place at this time. The additional analysis of the intersections, including the midday rush hour, indicated more interaction of traffic impacts between the Denmark Avenue intersections than previously recognized, as well as more significant impacts to the private property east of the intersection. While the computer simulation can fairly accurately predict anticipated future traffic flow, the immediate impact of the improvements associated with County Project 28 -30 may provide more benefit to the Promenade Place intersection than the computer analysis indicates. The lack of interest in any improvements, both off and on site, expressed by the previous owners of the Eagan Promenade (sold after the original public hearing) would prove challenging to the implementation of any advisable Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 3 X60 intersection improvements as previously proposed and brings into question the original perceived need for the intersection improvements. Upcoming, anticipated revisions to the County's Transportation Policy may also enhance the likelihood of a new traffic signal at the intersection of Yankee Doodle Road and Promenade Avenue without the extension of Promenade Avenue south of Yankee Doodle Road. The installation of a new signal at this location on the County highway would also have a significant impact on the operation of the Denmark Avenue /Promenade Place intersection. Due to the significant potential impacts of these associated improvements, staff believes it is important to wait and see what happens in the next few years after the construction of County Project 28 -30. Included in this project are the following improvements: related traffic signal coordination with existing signal system at Yankee Doodle Road, replacement of damaged curb and gutter, adjustments and /or replacement to water gate valves or sanitary /storm sewer utility castings, street signage, pavement markings and pedestrian ramps. Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 4 /07 Feasibility and Recommendations The project is necessary to address an inadequate capacity for northbound left turning movements at the intersection of Yankee Doodle Road and Denmark Avenue, enhance the Level of Service (LOS) at two signalized intersections, maintain and enhance the structural integrity of the pavement section, and create a safer driving environment. The project is cost effective in that the proposed intersection modification is considerably less expensive than widening the right -of -way and street for Denmark Avenue and the street improvement (resurfacing) is considerably less expensive than complete reconstruction of this street. The project is feasible in that the Town Centre Drive intersection modification will enable the expansion of the northbound left turn lanes, increasing the operating efficiency and safety of the Yankee Doodle Road and Town Centre Drive intersections, while continuing to allow the southbound Denmark Avenue left turning movement so strongly desired by the area business representatives. This project is in accordance with the Joint Powers Agreement between Dakota County and the City of Eagan (Contract No. 12123) approved by the City Council on March 16, 2010. It is recommended that the project be constructed as proposed in this report and in combination with other similar projects in the area, such as Dakota County Project 28 -30. Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) An analysis of the Denmark Avenue and Promenade Place intersection was completed in anticipation of the original feasibility report. The appropriateness of the installation of either a roundabout or signal system was studied with respect to the warrants outlined in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD). Hourly traffic volumes were collected at the intersection in June 2010 and compared to previous counts taken in 2009. AM and PM peak hour counts were performed in addition to turning movement counts. Based on these traffic counts, three of the traffic signal warrants from the MnMUTCD are currently met. The warrants that were met are Warrant 1 (Eight -Hour Vehicular Volume) and Warrant 2 Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 5 ���� (Four -Hour Vehicular Volume). Warrant 3 (Peak Hour) was narrowly missed by only five vehicles and will likely be met in the next few years. Any of these warrants alone could justify the placement of a roundabout or traffic control signal. Preference was expressed for a roundabout by an adjacent business representative in response to the original feasibility report proposing a traffic signal. While the warrants indicate either type of intersection control could be justified, additional review of the interaction of the adjacent intersections indicated possible challenges with a roundabout due to the close proximities of the intersections. Objection to the further delay of the installation of a traffic signal at the Yankee Doodle Road /Promenade Avenue intersection and the continued delay of the anticipated benefit to the operations of the Denmark Avenue /Promenade Place intersection was also articulated by area business representatives. Due to the significant potential impacts of proposed improvements on Yankee Doodle Road as part of County Project 28 -30, City staff recommend the continued monitoring of this local intersection at this time. Street Evaluation The City of Eagan's Pavement Management System allows the City to evaluate the condition of the existing street surface to help schedule timely maintenance and improvements. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ranks the surface condition for each street. The general categories that define PCI rankings are as follows: PCI Recommended Improvement 56-100 Routine Maintenance /Crack Seal /Seal Coat 36-55 Patch /Repair and /or Overlay 0-35 Reconstruct/ Reclaim The 2011 PCI ranking for this segment of Denmark Avenue has a weighted average pavement condition rating of 45, which falls in the ranking of the "Patch /Repair and /or Overlay" category, as mentioned above. The street pavement has reached an age where, based on the City's past experience, the integrity of the pavement can rapidly decline if no improvements are performed. Therefore, the 2012 construction season is the optimal time to construct the bituminous overlay on this street. Any delay of the project may reduce the structural benefit to Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 6 /d9 the street sections and require full reconstruction. It would also provide a clean pavement surface for the revised lane striping and maintain the structural integrity of the pavement adjacent to the median revisions. It is recommended to complete the improvements in conjunction with the proposed County Project 28 -30 in 2012. Proposed Improvements Intersection Reconfiguration - The proposed intersection improvements for Denmark Avenue /Town Centre Drive would include reconfiguration of the intersection to enable the extension of the northbound left turn lanes onto Yankee Doodle Road on the north side of Town Centre Drive, while maintaining the existing southbound Denmark Avenue left turn movement. The improvements would include median revisions and resurfacing on Denmark Avenue north and south of the intersection and the installation of traffic control signal modifications. Signal modifications would include revised loop detectors and interconnection with the existing traffic signal at Denmark Avenue /Yankee Doodle Road. New traffic signal components would include pedestrian safety enhancements such as Pedestrian Countdown Signals and Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS). APS is a device that communicates information about pedestrian timing in non - visual formats such as audible tones and verbal messages that can provide information to pedestrians about: the existence of and location of the pushbutton; the beginning of the WALK interval; the direction of the crosswalk and location of the destination curb; the intersection street names through speech messages. Pavement - The proposed street improvements for Denmark Avenue are shown in Figure 3. The existing street section for this roadway consists of 7.5" bituminous pavement supported by 12" gravel base. The existing bituminous surface would be milled adjacent to the existing curb and gutter (6' -8' wide) to accommodate a 1% -inch bituminous overlay. The overlay, combined with the existing street section, would provide a street section consistent with current City Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 7 t10 standards for commercial streets. The combination of patching and overlay will not eliminate cracking due to the temperature extremes experienced in Minnesota. Bituminous overlays will show some continued frost movements and reflective cracking consistent with the underlying pavement. Routine maintenance will still need to continue under the City's Pavement Management Program. Concrete Medians and Curb & Gutter — New concrete center medians will be installed on Denmark Avenue to delineate the revised left turn lanes. Curb and gutter at the northwest corner of the intersection of Denmark Avenue and Town Centre Drive will be removed and replaced to accommodate a slight widening of Denmark Avenue. Damaged curb & gutter will also be replaced if severely cracked, spalled, or settled. It is estimated that approximately 10% of the existing concrete curb and gutter will have to be replaced. Boulevard turf will be removed and replaced adjacent to replaced curb & gutter. While the contractor who performs the work is responsible for its establishment in the first 30 days after placement, adjacent property owners are encouraged to consistently water the new turf, where possible, to help ensure its growth. Signage - All traffic control and street identification signage within the project limits will be replaced due to diminished reflectivity, deteriorated support posts, and the signs or posts no longer meeting City and State standards. The elimination of unnecessary signs will occur where possible. Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 81/1 Pedestrian Ramp — Revisions to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires jurisdictional agencies to provide detectable warnings at all existing pedestrian ramps of sidewalks and paths with public streets that are improved, including street surface improvements. The most common method of providing this detectable warning is through the installation of truncated domes a minimum of two feet in length across the width of all pedestrian ramps. This project provides for the installation of truncated dome pedestrian ramps for the appropriate connection to the existing trails and sidewalks at this intersection. Easement /Permits All work will be in the public right -of -way. No additional easements will be necessary. A permit from Dakota County Transportation Department will be necessary for the work within Yankee Doodle Road at Denmark Avenue. Cost Estimate Detailed cost estimates are located in Appendix A. The estimates are based on anticipated 2012 construction costs and include a 5% contingency and indirect cost of 30 %, which include legal, administration, engineering, and bond interest. A summary of the costs is as follows: Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive Intersection Traffic Control & Street Improvements • Mill & Overlay w/ signage ...................... ............................... $ 121,700 • Traffic Control Signal Modifications ....... ............................... $ 61,000 • Concrete Entrance Aprons ...................... ............................... $ 20,000 • Concrete Medians /Curb & Gutter .......... ............................... $ 64,100 Total ............................................ ............................... $ 266,800 Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 9 Ala Area To Be Included Properties included in the project lie within the S 1/2 of Section 10, lying North of Yankee Doodle Road and East and West of Denmark Avenue and the NW % of Section 15, lying South of Yankee Doodle Road and East and West of Denmark Avenue, in Township 27, Range 23, in the City of Eagan, Dakota County, Minnesota. Assessments Assessments are proposed to be levied against the benefited properties for the street overlay improvement with costs allocated in accordance with the City of Eagan's Special Assessment Policy for a mill and overlay improvement for commercial /industrial streets. All assessments will be revised based on final costs. A preliminary assessment roll is included in Appendix B. City Special Assessment Policy Assessment Ratio Property City Mill & Overlay — Commercial /Industrial 100% 0% Concrete Entrance Aprons— Commercial /Industrial 100% 0% Traffic Control Signal Modifications 0% 100% Concrete Medians /Curb & Gutter 0% 100% Commercial /Industrial lots — Street Overlay Improvements (Denmark Avenue) The 7 commercial /industrial lots as shown on Figure 2 adjacent to Denmark Avenue to be improved, are proposed to be assessed. The City's Assessment Policy states that 100% of the mill and overlay costs are assessable for commercial /industrial properties, based on lot size/ area. The estimated cost per commercial lot to be assessed based on the City Assessment Policy is $1,998 /acre and is calculated as follows: 1) % Commercial /Industrial Assessable = 2,004 ft (Assessable Front Footage) 2,508 ft (Total Front Footage) 2) 100% x 79.9% x $121,700 (Mill & Overlay and Signage Cost) _ $97,263 (Total Commercial Assessment) 3) $97,263 (Total Commercial Assessment) $1,998 48.7 (Commercial /Industrial acreage) Acre = 79.9% Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 10 113 The remaining Denmark Avenue frontage within the project area (504 front feet or 20.1 %) is for a storm pond on City owned property and therefore, not assessable under the City's Assessment Policy. Commercial /Industrial Lots — Concrete Entrance Apron Replacement (Denmark Avenue) The adjacent commercial/ industrial property with driveways not to current City standards (3375 Denmark Avenue, 3380 Denmark Avenue, 3385 Denmark Avenue, 1263 Promenade Place, 1275 Town Centre Drive) are proposed to be assessed the total cost of driveway entrance replacement improvements on the area of driveway installed. The total driveway improvement assessment per lot is calculated based on the individual requirements needed to replace existing bituminous entrances with concrete entrances in accordance with current City standards. The estimated cost of driveway replacement is approximately $106 per square yard replaced. Assessment Financing Options The property owner will have the option at the time of the assessment hearing to pay the full assessment or include the assessment in with their property tax statement. If the assessment is included with the property tax statement, the assessment will be spread over five years with the interest determined by the results of the bond sale used to finance the improvements. The following payment schedule is an example of the estimated $1,998 per acre assessment with an estimated 5% interest for the assessed amounts: Commercial /Industrial Lot = $1,998 per acre Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 11 1 � q Principal Per Year Interest Per Year i Cost Per Year Firs i � $400 $100 $ 500 Fifth Year $400 ; $20 $420 Denmark Avenue, Promenade Place to Town Centre Drive 11 1 � q Revenue Source A summary of revenue sources is listed below: Dakota County Transportation Department will finance $62,200 (23% of total).

DENMARK AVENUE — PROMENADE PLACE TO TOWN CENTRE DRIVE INTERSECTION TRAFFIC CONTROL and STREET IMPROVEMENTS CITY PROJECT NO.: 1085 INFORMATIONAL MEETING 3:00 P.M., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2011 EAGAN ROOM Attendance: Russ Matthys, City Engineer; 3 property managers /representatives (see attached sign -in sheet). A. Presentation of Project Details • Matthys welcomed the attendees and presented project information, including details such as construction, costs, schedule and assessments. He asked attendees if anyone here today had attended previous informational meetings. No one had attended previously. He also described the proposed County improvements on Yankee Doodle Road. B. Questions/ Comments • Why add length to northbound left turn lanes on Denmark Avenue at Yankee Doodle Road? I don't see need for it and I drive it multiple times every week. Improvements on Denmark Avenue were included as recommendations in the Yankee Doodle Road Corridor Study. The study included a variety of recommendations that were appropriate over a twenty year period with some being needed sooner than others. The improvements to allow the opposing left turn movements for Denmark Avenue at Yankee Doodle Road to occur simultaneously (versus the current traffic signal split phasing) is highly desirable today. Due to the similarity in the type of construction activity (median modifications) and close proximity of the improvements, it is cost effective to include the left turn lane improvements (per the study recommendations) at this time. • Won't the new median south of Town Centre Drive restrict access to Rainbow's entrance (Trucks Only) at the northeast corner of the site (on Denmark Avenue)? The entrance is currently a right -in access for trucks only. Further access restrictions are not planned. • Every street overlay is typically assessed, right? Yes, typically. That is why staff is suggesting that the proposed Project 1035R be cancelled by the City Council and reauthorized with the inclusion of special assessments with the same public improvements. • Would we be assessed for all traffic work or just the overlay? If the City Council approves Project 1085 at the Council meeting on December 6, the project does propose special assessments that would address the overlay and associated street sign costs for the properties benefitting from the street overlay, as well as concrete driveway aprons, where constructed. No assessments have been proposed for the traffic improvements. • I am concerned about the length of time for the construction adjacent to my business (reiterated by others in attendance). The City limits the time for construction activity by contractors. For example, once the contractor steps in to a residential neighborhood, they have 30 days to complete the work. This project will not be as simple to limit the start and completion dates in combination with the work on Yankee Doodle Road, but we will limit the length of time in which disturbance actually occurs adjacent to your property and maintain access at all times. • I am not in support of a future roundabout at Denmark Avenue and Promenade Place. (Property manager of The Shoppes at Promenade - Mid America Asset Management) • Can you put information about the County's improvements on the City's Web site? We will add relevant information to the current project information on the City's Web site. (City's Web site has link to County's Web site with project information.)

Proposed 2012 Budget and Property Tax Levy ACTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED: 1) To close the public hearing, approve the General Fund budget of $28,040,000, and approve a resolution adopting the final 2012 general levy of $27,425,081 OR Close the public hearing and set the 2012 general levy and General Fund budget approval for consideration at the December 20 City Council meeting. 2) To close the public hearing and approve the 2012 Cedarvale Special Services District (SSD) levy and budget. FACTS: • The State requires cities over 2,500 in population to hold a public hearing on their proposed budget and tax levy for next year. • Parcel specific Proposed Property Tax notices were mailed by the County to Eagan residents in mid - November. • A budget open house was held on November 22. The open house was advertised in the local paper and on the City's website. One resident attended. • Chief Financial Officer Pepper is listed as the City contact on the Proposed Property Tax notices, and has received three phone calls asking for further explanation. City Administrator Hedges received one additional call. Three of the callers expressed displeasure about taxes going up while property value went down. Those who called before November 22 were encouraged to attend the budget open house. • Under the revised Truth -in- Taxation requirements, the City may approve the levy and budget at the same meeting as the announced public hearing. Formerly, the levy and budget had to be approved at a subsequent meeting. • Since the time the General Fund expenditure budget was last formally reviewed in September, three adjustments totaling $28,800 have been made: • Adjust one Planner back to 1.0 from .9 FTE - $9,500 • Adjust pay rate and increase Admin Secretary from .8 to .9 FTE - $11,800 • Add unreimbursed diseased tree removal, board -ups, debris and noxious weed removal charges - $7,500 (These will ultimately be collected by certification of special assessments to the property. Revenue will increase in the same amount as the expenditures. The net effect on the General Fund is zero.) I L:�S • The total General Fund expenditure, including contingency, is unchanged and remains balanced. The contingency account has been reduced by $28,800 as a result of these adjustments. The Cedarvale SSD was established in the mid -1990s to provide for common area maintenance, signage and lighting. The level of services associated with the district has diminished as acquisition and demolition activities have occurred and, as the property is assembled and re- subdivided, it is expected that future private property owners and associations will have responsibility for most of the areas previously maintained by the district budget. At the present time, the SSD budget continues to fund mowing and maintenance around the storm ponds and main entrance to the area at Hwy 13 and Silver Bell Road. The SSD fund has a sufficient balance to perform that work for the year ahead and it is being proposed that the City Council maintain the levy at zero for 2012. The City Administrator will make a PowerPoint presentation covering the topics that are required to be presented at the hearing under Truth -in- Taxation. Both the PowerPoint presentation and the additional 2012 General Fund Budget and Property Tax Levy handout will be posted on the City's website. Note: Historically, a few residents attend this hearing hoping to challenge the County's assessed value on their property, not realizing this is the wrong place and time to do so. It may be prudent to address that with the audience before the presentation. ATTACHMENTS: • Enclosed on pages 18F( and lam is the proposed 2012 General Fund summary of revenues and expenditures. • Enclosed on page W is a copy of the resolution adopting the final 2012 levy. • Enclosed on page is the notice that went out to Cedarvale SSD property owners reflecting the 2012 budget. • Enclosed without page number are the PowerPoint slides to be presented by City Administrator Hedges. Copies of the slides will be available to the public at the hearing. (The 2012 General Fund Budget and Property Tax Levy handout will be forwarded with the Additional Information packet on Monday.) 10 12/2/2011 2012 BUDGET GENERALFUND COMPARATIVE SUMMARY OF REVENUES 2009 2010 1 2011 2012 A (12 vs. 11) Actual Actual Budget Budget $ % General Property Taxes $ 20,701,514 $ 20,701,514 $ 21,204,600 $ 21,515,000 310,400 1.5% Licenses 292,774 281,081 277,900 274,700 (3,200) -1.2% Permits 790,746 775,257 959,600 936,200 (23,400) -2.4% Intergovernmental Rev 722,896 1,076,175 678,100 621,000 (57,100) -8.4% Charges for Services 1,542,936 1,472,535 1,009,600 1,323,800 314,200 31.1% Recreation Charges 651,118 649,584 622,600 669,600 47,000 7.5% Fines & Forfeits 370,920 251,119 344,500 245,200 (99,300) -28.8% Other Revenues 291,523 350,669 284,600 260,900 (23,700) -8.3% Program Revenues 1,757,199 1,936,368 1,847,100 1,728,000 (119,100) -6.4% Transfers 417,781 451,807 459,300 465,600 6,300 1.4% TOTAL GENERAL FUND $ 27,539,407 $ 27,946,108 $ 27,687,900 $ 28,040,000 $ 352,100 1.3% IZ,] 2012 Comparative Summary of Expenditures General Fund Budget 2011 1 2012 Budget GENERAL GOVERNMENT 01 Mayor & Council 02 Administration 03 Information Technologies 04 City Clerk 05 Finance 06 Legal 07 Comm Dev-- Planning /ED 08 Comm Dev -- Inspections 09 Communications 10 Human Resources Gen Govt Total PUBLIC SAFETY 11 Police 12 Fire Public Safety Total PUBLIC WORKS 21 Public Works /Engineering 22 Streets & Highways 24 Central Svices.

Christina Scipioni, City Clerk 0 4 � City of Evan Memo To: CEDARVALE SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT MEMBERS From: JON HOHENSTEIN, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR Date: NOVEMBER 10, 2011 Subject: PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE -2012 SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT BUDGET This memo is to inform you of a public hearing on Tuesday, December 6, 2011 regarding the Proposed 2012 Budget for the Cedarvale Special Service District. The hearing will take place at 6:30 p.m. during the City Council Meeting in the City Council Chambers at 3830 Pilot Knob Road. For 2012, the City is recommending no service charge be imposed, which is the same as was done in 2011. Budgeted expenditures are proposed to be $1,000 which is the same as 2011. The proposed budget will continue to cover mowing, fertilizing, and weed control of the public common area near the entrance to the District at Hwy 13 and Silver Bell Road. The budgeted expenditures are an estimate of the annual cost based on historic expenditure levels. A qualification is that the 2009 expenditures were substantially below historic levels because of some donated services and the fund balance increased in that year. Such a donation is not anticipated in the future, but no SSD Assessment is being proposed for 2012, while the fund balance remains above the anticipated annual cost of the service. A summary of historic costs and the 2012 budget for the District is shown below. 2009 2010 2011 2012 Fund Balance, Beginning of Year Revenues: Special Services District Taxes Interest on Investments Total Revenues Expenditures: Mowing, Fertilizer and Weed Control Sign Maintenance (Discontinued) Total Expenditures Excess of Revenue over Expenditures Fund Balance, End of Year All interested persons will have an opportunity to be heard at the hearing regarding this proposed service charge. The petition requirements of section 428A.08 of the Minnesota Statutes do not apply to the proposed service charge since this proposal is a subsequent and not the initial proposal for imposition of the service charge.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment: The city's Comprehensive Guide Plan was prepared pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 473.864. As defined by statute, the Land Use Plan is a guide and may be amended from time to time as conditions change. The city's Guide Plan is to be implemented by official controls such as zoning and other fiscal devices. The creation of land use districts and zoning is a formulation of public policy and a legislative act. As such, the classification of land uses must reasonably relate to promoting the public health, safety, morals and general welfare. When a change to a city's Comprehensive Guide Plan is requested, it is the city's responsibility to determine if the change is in the best long -range interests of the city. The standard of review of a city's action in approving or denying a Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment is whether there exists a rational basis. A rational basis standard has been described to mean having legally sufficient reasons supportable by the facts which promote the general health, safety and welfare of the city. 1-�+ Planning Report — Eagan Fire Administration November 22, 2011 Rezoning: City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subd. 5 states in part, 1. The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two - thirds of all members of the council. 2. The City Council shall not rezone any land or area in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance without first having referred it to the planning commission for its consideration and recommendation. BACKGROUNDIHISTORY Prior to completion of the new Fire Safety Campus at 1001 Station Trail, the subject property housed the Eagan Fire Administration function. Fire Administration moved to the new building/site earlier this year resulting in the City no longer having a need for the Pilot Knob Road site. The City Council directed staff to initiate a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment and Rezoning at their regular meeting of October 18, 2011. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site developed in 1998 with the 17,000 SF former Fire Administration building and 50 surface parking stalls. The building is currently occupied by JBL Companies via a month to month lease agreement that was initiated in July of this year; said lease arrangement includes a thirty day notice to vacate. SURROUNDING USES The site is completely surrounded by property zoned, guided and developed with single family residential homes. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Compatibility with Surrounding Area — The proposed O/S Guide Plan designation is compatible in proximity to residential uses due to the scale of the existing building; the description in the Comprehensive Plan states: "These uses are fairly low intensity and can be compatible in close proximity to residential uses, given appropriate design and buffering." The proposed LB Zoning District has the following stated purpose in the City Code: "Limited Business Districts are areas that are particularly exposed to residential neighborhoods and are 18s— Planning Report — Eagan Fire Administration November 22, 2011 Page 3 thus suitable to those businesses compatible with nearby residential use (offices, clinics and the like). Anal — No changes are proposed to the existing building, site or landscaping. The site is served by public water, sanitary and storm sewer systems, and has two access points to Kingswood Ponds Road. Parks and Recreation — As a public facility, this property was exempt from park and trail dedication at the time it was developed. Park and trail dedications will become due at the rates in effect at the time of the sale of the property for private use. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION The City of Eagan is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment and Rezoning of approximately 2 acres located at 3795 Pilot Knob Road. Until earlier this year, the site functioned as Eagan Fire Administration and is now leased to an office user. The City plans to dispose of this property. In anticipation of the sale and to successfully market the site, the City is seeking to change the land use to O/S and the zoning designation LB. The proposal appears consistent with the land use and zoning designations of surrounding properties. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from QP, Public /Quasi - Public, to O /S, Office Service, for approximately 2 acres located at 3795 Pilot Knob Road. To recommend approval of a Rezoning from PF, Public Facilities, to LB, Limited Business, for the approximately 2 acre site located at 3795 Pilot Knob Road. )ae �l \ \� / ` }�� /,« /•< . \ > y �l �'�2� Subd. 10.

CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT AREA ALTASURVEY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Authorize the preparation of an American Land Title Association (ALTA) Survey by RLK, Inc., for the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area. FACTS: • On October 2, 2001, the City Council approved the establishment of the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Project Area and the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District. • On March 15, 2011, Eagan's Economic Development Authority (EDA) approved an amended Preliminary Development Agreement which extended the services of the development team leader Len Pratt of Pratt Development LLC and also permitted the addition of Cassidy Turley to the redevelopment team for the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area. Currently, the development team is marketing the redevelopment area for commercial, office and residential uses. • The development team has recently received multiple interests in developing within the redevelopment area. Requests for additional information, including an ALTA survey, have been made by some of the parties. • An ALTA survey is a property boundary survey by a registered land surveyor that shows improvements, easements, rights -of -way, and other elements impacting the ownership of land. The survey is often desirable for commercial properties, as it will provide the title company with the information required to insure the title to the land and improvements to the high degree that a commercial development may require. • Based on this current level of interest, City staff requested proposals for the preparation of an ALTA Survey to further refine the detail of property information readily available to potential developers of the redevelopment area. • All proposals have been reviewed for compliance with the ALTA Survey requirements and accuracy on cost estimates. The low bid from RLK, Inc., has been reviewed by the Community Development Department and Engineering Division and found to be in order for favorable EDA action.

City of Ea an 2012 General Fund Budget and Property Tax Levy Public Hearing December 6, 2011 Eagan Municipal Center Introduction Each year, as part of the budget preparation process, most Minnesota cities are required by law to hold a public hearing to receive comments on the types and levels of services proposed for the coming year and the anticipated costs of those services. We expect and welcome public comment as a constructive part of the budget process. Public input, together with the City Council's experience and City staff's expertise, help form the spending and cost management priorities for the City. Prior to tonight's formal budget hearing, the City Council held a budget open house at City Hall on November 22 to discuss with residents questions, concerns, and ideas with the City Council and staff in an informal, conversational setting. Background In Minnesota, property taxes provide a significant portion of the total funding for K -12 schools and City and County services. The purpose of tonight's hearing is to discuss only the portion of taxes that supports City services, which is a little more than one - quarter of a homeowner's total property taxes. The City Council does not control the amounts levied for K -12 schools or County services. Nor does the City establish the market value of a property, another factor affecting the change in total taxes; it is the responsibility of the Dakota County Assessor's office to establish each property's market value. This year, under a new State law, the taxable market value reflected in the Proposed Property Tax statements has been lowered for property owners that qualify for the Market Value Homestead Credit (MVHC), sometimes simply referred to as the homestead credit. This reduction, which is called a market value exclusion, does not indicate an actual reduction of property value; rather, it is just a means for implementing the MVHC. The "2012 Property Tax Levy" section below discusses the change in more detail. The actual property market value may have decreased as well. Unfortunately, from the Proposed Property Tax statements, it is impossible to tell how much of the decrease relates to an actual decrease in value and how much relates to the market value exclusion. It is our understanding that the final property tax statements issued next March will break down the change in value into the two components. To get more information about it today, you may contact the Dakota County Assessor's office at 651- 438 -4200. 3 2012 Property Tax Levy Tonight, the Council is considering the following 2012 tax levy, which represents a 2.9% reduction from last year: Budgeted: General General Facilities Renewal & Replacement Equipment Revolving Major Street -- General Major Street -- Overpasses & Interchanges Equipment Certificates Debt Service Fire Apparatus Community Center Bonds Park System Development/R &R Cedarvale Special Services District Sub -Total Budgeted Not Budgeted: Market Value Homestead Credit Allowance for Uncollectable Taxes Sub -Total Not Budgeted Total Gross Levy Payable Payable Change 2011 2012 $ % 21,204,600 21,515,000 310,400 1.5% 283,042 289,197 6,155 2.2% 1,031,127 1,053,549 22,422 2.2% 1,527,925 1,561,150 33,225 2.2% 1,054,312 1,077,238 22,926 2.2% 126,879 133,521 6,642 5.2% 273,121 266,479 (6,642) -2.4% 1,192,223 1,128,947 (63,276) -5.3% - 400,000 400,000 NA 26,693,229 27,425,081 731,852 2.7% 1,012,784 - (1,012,784) - 100.0% 541,098 - (541,098) - 100.0% 1,553,882 - (1,553,882) - 100.0% 28,247,111 27,425,081 (822,030) -2.9% Changes in State law in 2011 with respect to the MVHC will have a significant impact on taxpayers. Taxes on virtually all taxpayers are pushed upward under the new law, with higher - valued homestead property owners and non - homestead property owners (including businesses) absorbing a greater proportion of the increase. Under the previous law, the State would grant the MVHC to qualifying property owners and pay the credit to the cities. In fact, more often than not, because of its own budget problems, the State did not pay the full amount of MVHC to the cities. Over the past decade, the State has shorted Eagan by several million dollars. Under the new law, the State no longer funds the homestead credit. Payment of the credit falls back on the property owners. The credit is now applied by way of an exclusion (reduction) of taxable market value. As noted above, your Proposed Property Tax statement does not specifically identify the amount of the exclusion, but here is one example of how the exclusion appears on the statement. Note that the property value seems to have decreased more than it really has: M All things being equal (i.e., if the City tax levy were to remain flat and individual property value decrease were proportionate to other property owners), virtually all property owners would see an increase in taxes. Let's look at a very simplistic example comparing the old law to the new: In this example, the City is raising $10,000 to supply city services. Previously, the State (blue) would have contributed, say, $550 to the City and the taxpayers (green, red, orange) would pay the balance. Under the new law, the State no longer contributes, and the higher valued properties (orange) absorb the biggest share of the $550, while the smaller valued properties (green) pick up the smallest share. Here's the impact on the average value Eagan homestead ($237,696 in 2012 and $241,744 in 2011). First, we show the impact of the City's 2.9% reduction in its levy. Then, you can see the offsetting effect of the State's homestead credit legislation: 2011 City portion of taxes $ 800 Decrease due to reduced 2012 levy LL2 2012 City portion of taxes under the old law 768 Increase due to new homestead credit legislation 37 2012 City portion of taxes $ 805 The chart below shows the tax increase caused by the new legislation for a variety of home values: Il 2012 General Fund Budget In June 2009, in response to the Governor's unallotment of Market Value Homestead Credit aid to the City in the amount of $700,000 and other lagging revenues resulting from the poor economy, the City Council adjusted the 2009 expenditure budget down by $592,000. As part of the adjustments, 9.2 full -time equivalent (FTE) positions were eliminated. Since that time, an additional 3 FTEs have been eliminated, including 2 with the current year's budget. The 2012 General Fund budget is up 1.3 %, from $27,687,900 to $28,040,000. A modest staff wage increase, the first in three years for non -union employees, has been built into the budget. About three - quarters of the City's budget is staff wages and benefits. Departmental budget amounts are shown No new services are proposed. At the same time, no services are proposed to be eliminated. The 2012 General Fund budget is balanced. Because of an anticipated decrease in fee -based and other revenues, the portion of the total property tax levy allocated to the General Fund is up $310,400 from last year. 7 City Portion of Taxes Although not broken down for the reader, the City of Eagan tax figure in the TnT Proposed Property Tax Statements has three components: 1) the amount based on tax capacity; 2) the amount based on market value, resulting from the Community Center referendum approved by voters in 2000; and 3) the homestead credit, which in 2012 is applied by way of a reduction in the market value —and thus tax capacity —of a property from its actual market value to a taxable market value. The credit applies only to the tax capacity -based portion of the tax, not to the market value -based portion. The homestead credit does not apply to commercial /industrial property or homesteads valued higher than $414,000. Tax Capacity -based Portion (Homestead Credit Exclusion Applies) The graphics on pages 7 through 10 help illustrate how the amount based on tax capacity is calculated. Effective 2012, the market value homestead credit is applied by way of a market value exclusion. In other words, the market value used for calculating the tax is reduced from the actual market value. The average Eagan homestead in 2012 is valued at $237,696. The amount excluded for a homestead of this value, per the State's formula, is $15,847. Thus, the market value for calculating the tax - capacity based taxes is: $237,696 – $15,847 = $221,849 = taxable market value Each property's tax capacity (a function of taxable market value and property type) is multiplied by the City's tax capacity rate, which is derived from the dollar levy approved by the Council. The City portion of taxes on a residential property with a market value of $237,696 and taxable market value of $221,849 is calculated as follows: First ... Tax capacity of $237,696 home = $221,849 x 1 % = $2,218 Then ... Tax capacity -based taxes = $2,218 x.34536 (tax cap. rate) = $766.18 Market Value -based Portion (Homestead Credit Exclusion Does Not Apply) In 2000, Eagan voters approved a bond referendum to fund development and construction of the Community Center in the Central Park area. The 20 -year serial bonds were sold in 2001. Each year, the amount of the debt service payments is levied as part of the property tax. The market value tax rate for 2012 is .0001644. The market value used for the calculation is not reduced by the homestead credit exclusion as with the tax capacity -based portion. Here is the calculation for our average home: Market value -based taxes = $237,696 x.0001644 (MV rate) _ $39.07. Only the total City tax, or $805.25 ($766.18 + $39.07), would appear on the Proposed Property Tax statement.

See graphics on pages 8 -10. 2) Market value -based taxes In a 2000 referendum election, voters authorized the City to issue bonds to develop the Central Park area and construct a Community Center there. Bonds in the amount of $13,970,000 were issued in 2001 and refinanced at a lower rate in 2009. Bond payments are made from a tax levy that is based on a property's market value, calculated like this: ►a1 3) Homestead Credit - City portion (pertains to residential properties only) 13 In 2002, the State Legislature instituted a credit for homestead property taxpayers. Until last year, the credit was in the form of a separate reduction after the property tax was calculated. The credit was 0.4% of the property value to a maximum of $304 for a $76,000 homestead, and phased out from that point, on a straight -line basis, to zero for a home valued at $414,000. Beginning in 2012, the credit remains, but is granted by way of reducing the market value. Because the State no longer pays the credit to the cities, the credit in effect is "paid" by the taxpayers. All taxpayers, including the qualifying homestead property owners, contribute to funding for this credit through an increased tax rate. 14 Tax Capacity Portion of Property Taxes X Influencing factors: General Fd expenditures Debt service Allocation to capital proj.
