After approval of the November 6, 1995 City Council agenda, the August 29, 1995 and
October 17, 1995 special City Council minutes and the October 17, 1995 regular City
Council meeting minutes, the following items are in order for consideration.
Agenda Information Memo
November 6, 1995 Eagan City Council Meeting
DEPARTMENT HEAD BUSINESS'
A. APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR BLACKHAWK PARK
SHELTER BUILDING
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
The City Council is asked to approve plans and specifications to authorize staff to advertise for
bids for the construction of a shelter building/pavilion for Blackhawk Park.
BACKGROUND:
The master plan for Blackhawk Park proposed a shelter building/pavilion capable of
accommodating up to 200 people. The original program was for construction in 1994-1995, the
start was delayed because of other department work priorities until the current year.
The Advisory Parks Recreation and Natural Resource Commission, in determining a design
program for the picnic pavilion, wanted the pavilion to be capable of allowing for "four seasons
use". To accommodate this need, the final design makes use of garage doors that can be pulled
down to enclose a portion of the building which can then be used for winter programs. It is
intended that Blackhawk Park be used for a sliding hill, tubing activities, with the enclosed
space to be heated but to only moderate temperatures in the mid 50s. The structure also utilizes
common construction materials as used in other park shelter buildings such as concrete block,
wood and a concrete floor.
The preliminary design cost estimate is $307,000. Staff has also suggested the use of bid
alternatives for roofing materials in order to better evaluate cost and benefit between a metal
roof and an asphalt shingles roof.
Associated Construction
Staff has also been reviewing the various alternatives for providing utilities, ie - sanitary sewer
and water to the location. The least expensive of the options provide for the drilling of a fresh
water well at an estimated cost of $5,451 versus $22,200 for the installation of a city water line
which would extend from Riverton Avenue, a distance of approximately 900 feet. Sanitary
sewer provided by a septic system, similar to that which is used at Thomas Lake. The
alternative would be to require the construction of a lift station and force main to Riverton at a
projected cost of $30,000. Part of the Consent Agenda, if the Council approves construction of
the shelter building is the pre -approval of the contracts for the septic system and well.
DEPARTMENT HEAD BUSINESS - Continued
Cost
Preliminary cost estimates for the building, water and septic system is estimated at a total of
$325,000. This does not include engineering services. The CIP, funded by the Park Site
Acquisition and Development Fund was budgeted at $345,000.
APRNRC Review
The Advisory Parks Recreation Natural Resource Commission reviewed the final design, plans
and cost estimate at their October commission meeting and recommended to the City Council to
proceed with the construction of the facility.

Byron Watschke, of Fortune Realty, Nated he feels they haw bent over backwards trying to satisfy the
city as well as the neighbors. He noted the cificikhas changed foy:tlmes, and the theater has gone from 1,500
seats to 400 seats. The theater was movecrl:she south, ayisty'.:#tom the neighborhood. The commercial
buildings were moved closest to the residential istji0i0e.itiggiObre predominantly daytime operations. They
have greatly reduced the commercial Intensity 'anti 8pfited.•ttie parking problems. He complimented the
Community Development staff for the good Job they did on the staff report. They have proposed a three
member committee consisting of himself, Carl Dale, and one member from the neighborhood to supervise the
construction and development of all three sites. They are willing to continue to work with the neighbors. He
feels this Is a good project for the city and they accept all of the conditions proposed by staff.
Gary Krueger; 4532 South Mallard'lt U, :tet . ritlnif i Thomas Lake Townhome Association,
indicated they are unanimously opposed to this plan.:.:;They feel Wit this project, especially the Cinema Grill,
Is not compatible with the surrounding residential area .due to traffic congestion, inadequate parking, noise,
alcohol being served, odors, lights shining on neighbi# , g prope i*s, etc. If the Council feels they can't deny
this, he asked that they demand It be done Pith:ski: cOttslclet6itfcan for the neighboring properties. He feels
the Williams Pipeline should be lowered, and iiitifimittiit3Atiairts be required for all buildings.
•
Teresa Wilson, 4601 Beacon Hill Court, stated she feels the neighborhood south of Cliff Road has been
totally ignored in this process. They are also in a residential neighborhood and have never been notified of any
of these meetings, and they will be directly impacted by this project. She is opposed to this development due
to concems about safety, traffic, noise, serving of alcohol, odors from the restaurant, etc.
•
Mayor Egan Indicated that the notice lei ti#ment is only for those within 300 feet of the subdivision.
Councilmember Masin asked what she anticipated beitigbl44.Mere. Teresa Wilson responded that they were
forced to move quickly and bought the first houst?:.avallable:;:ki'she had no Idea what was across the street.
She liked the empty field. She would like to see;park•
Mayor Egan noted that people make reasonable inquiries of what is to go in the
area when buying a home. There is a sigr;ii#'ttie property saying that a shopping center is going In there.
This has been zoned neighborhood commercial and there Is already a commercial strip mall on the property.
ft is not unreasonable to expect people to make reasonable inquiries about surrounding uses. Councilmember
Awada added that the developer has rights to use the property and what Is being proposed is consistent with
the zoning. Under the current zoning, it could actually be developed more. dense than what is ptoposed.
Sandy Unger, 4542 South prefer that the office building not be two
stories. The commercial building is dosesf to f e'fiefi barhi3 d She expressed some concem about the
landscaping and screening. She Indicated the neigtrs are willing to continue to work with the developer,
however, they have had a lot of problems with the deirlKtoper Ir:;'* past and there is a lack of trust.
Mayor Egan asked whether lowering the pipeitiie wouldiiigiange the grade elevation and whether It is
still feasible to do. Director of Public Works Colbert indicated it WWI feasible; however, he can't speak to the
economics of doing that.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Egan tumed discussion back to the Council.
Councilmember Masin stated that 11 the developer isn't going former the pipeline, it might be better to reduce
the office buildings to one story. She feels the lighting issue haeen resolved, but it still bothers her that the
city can't go back to the health club to enforce what was sued to be done. She doesn't feel the city
should do anything until that is resolved. C ittagii.O k;H ted that this is a pending proposal and the •
city can impose conditions. However, Lifefftiiai>s: : there is nothing to hold over their heads at
this point.
•
Counctlmember Wachter stated he doesn't approve of:tiii landscaping plan. He would like to talk to
the City Forester about the species of trees proposed. Community Development Director Reichert noted that
this is just a preliminary plan. Some of these details can be worked out before the final plan is submitted.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT, SECTION 6.3k; CARDING SOLICiTORS
Administrator Hedges gave a staff report. Finance Director VanOverbeke explained the situations where
registration would be needed under this ordinance. Councilmember Awada asked how this will benefit the city.
EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MiNUTES; OCTOBER 17,

Finance Director VanOverbeke responded tha.the benefit is that he.city has a list of the people who are going
:
door-to-door In the community and have a Opportunity to tel em when the city wants them to do the
solicitation and some gukielines for the apprct :thy .take; ;* well as some leverage if they do not comply
with those guidelines. Counctimember Awada 'ileit.04040.0iiil think this ordinance will do anything. Alt It
does is make people register. Counclimember Mas Stec! she sees some benefit to having them registered,
so if there is a question, the city knows they are legitimate. Finance Director VanOverbeke indicated it doesn't
mean they are legitimate since there is no background Investigation. He noted that was done in the past, but
they were advised that It is not legal to do that. The decision to be made Is whether to register everyone, or
no one at all. Counclimember Awada statec#:et,e1eels.tha., ijpate, people will register, and the questionable
ones will not. Counclimember Hunter contei ;iglOOf k: Wachter and Mayor Egan Indicated they
would like to give It year trial. • ""'

OPTION AGREEMENT, NO11ThW STERN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO.
Administrator Hedges reviewed the background on this item. Councilmember Wachter stated he feels
the city Is being pressured Into this. He does_n't know if the city should even be In the golf course business,
and the city doesn't have any reports on this. The owner of Carriage Hills has a cash offer and wants the city
to givehim an answer right now. The City gap.' come up with that kind of cash on such short notice. The City
could put in an option, but the owner could; tllE.lake the cash offer. He doesn't think the city should get into
this on such a short notice. He is not opposi;if:3Q; :ides :of acquiring Carriage Hills, but is opposed to that
amount of money on such a short notice. The CniZih #Gl?1 ve a chance to express their opinion on this
or hold a public hearing. He is definitely opposed to the purohaee of Carriage Hills Golf Course at the price
they are asking for k. He would have gone along:vrfth the;;gRXEoii:if:they hadn't put this kind of pressure on the
city.
Counclimember Masin Indicated thiiItF a City is running out of time and land. She doesn't think the
city has a lot to lose by keeping the option open by 60 days. She feels the city should keep its options open,
at least on the Northwestem Mutual property.
Mayor Egan noted that the residents of Eagan place public trust Intthe Council by electing them. He
is concemed about losing one of the city' . Otf;Qotltsesr::: he:Atizens have given the Council the power to
make decisions on their behalf. He feels the•:Gf�uticJJ: lig4:. owhat it perceives to be In their best Interest.
Considerable discussion followed conceming the puq ase priea,of both Carriage Hills and the Northwestern
Mutual property and how to proceed from here.
Masin moved, Awada seconded a motion to#Itect staff:t;make a new offer for an option agreement
with Northwestern Mutual that would Include coming to some ty:of conclusion within 60 days. At this point,
several people who live near Carriage Hills Golf Course expressed concems about losing the golf course, the
amount of money needed to make Carriage Hills operational and residents' preference of having Carriage Hills
remain a golf course. City Attorney Sheldon clarified the process that would be followed if the owner petitions
for changes to that property. He noted that the Council does not make a decision until all of the facts are
presented. Counclimember Hunter added that the Council c ai t make the owner operate that property as
a golf course. However, there are a number of eligible uses In *Public Facility zoning. The owner has a right
to reasonable use of his property. Aye: 4.;:R4y; 1::.:1Nactftr :apposed.)
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY Aii4 UTILITY EXTENSION; VANTAGE POINT
Community Development Director Reichert gave a staff report, reviewing the background of this request.
City Attorney Sheldon added that if the Council grants the right-of-way and utility access through the park, it

should be conditioned upon deeding to the cltjt the existing privai:.�,Pasement that that property now holds, so
there is only one right-of-way. Mayor Egan rapt i that the Cour Auld have to approve access directly onto
Diffley Road, noting that two Tots would be * :a:,Fg§ufx.pf 444tE He asked whether the grading would be
adequate for city standards with direct access train:'# e ; :pl ctor of Public Works Colbert responded that
it would. Councilmember Awada asked whether acce 'thi ough a park has been approved anywhere else In
the city. Director of Public Works Colbert indicated he cannot think of any situation where this type of access
was granted. Considerable discussion followed concerning public right-of-way and the Advisory Parks,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission and Advisory Planning Commission recommendations. Mayor
Egan noted that because access to Diffley R9g:IsAmailalpf$sand ,grading is adequate, he would not support
access through the park. He reviewed the t%$i :?b i.:gaff report.
Todd Rapp, representing Remo and Karen Caporal, the developer of Vantage Point subdivision, stated
he feels there have been inconsistent and incorrect rA Fesentatlogs made about the development In the staff
report. He reviewed the subdivision and easements::: ke revieiad the history of this request and the court
decision regarding the preliminary plat. He OtOiffiaitiOteitOort that originally considered the preliminary
plat application suggested that the ordinances- couid''teiigiihabiy be interpreted to Impose reasonable
conditions, which were listed in the staff report, and they don't have any objection to them. The Caponi's
originally proposed access to the north of the water tower because that is where the easement was located.
Staffs suggestion was to move it to the south-0`nhe water tower, and Engineering staff redesigned the access,
and that is the proposed condition of preliminary subdivision approval that was contained In the original staff
report and in the preliminary plat materials:4hat were considered after the District Court ruling. Staff seemed
to be amenable to the notion that the new pOkepegt be provided through the park to serve the development,
and that the existing gravel driveway be removed: :the•existing easement be terminated. What the Council
is talking about tonight is changing the preliminary" jilaii > 0. Is inappropriate. As a result of the court
decision, the Caponi's have a right to the layot►t; And design; of.tbe preliminary plat as originally proposed,
subject to fair conditions, which is where within tfie,puh is t.: tiii road should be located. He alluded to a
discrepancy in the reference to a letter from Lea i 0.ii: ¢ftl�ie Advisory Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
Commission, noting that there are several leitsit:#iefing referred to. The Council packet refers to a July 1, 1994
letter, but the one that was sent was dated ;liily 18, 1994 and was on city letterhead addressed to the Advisory
Planning Commission. On the only occasion that the APRNRC considered this proposed development before
the preliminary plat was certified as accepted, there was a May 17, 1994 memo from Ken Vraa to Peggy
Reichert, wherein no opposition was expressed to street access through the park. There has never been a
single objection raised by any member of the public to this proposed development. There has never been a
single objection, exception or clarificatiokOlade:::Wsly:;•flier of staff suggesting that this proposed
residential subdivision does not fully cciiiii ::iwii€h dl;:. it; 0i::. r linances and criteria for a single family
development. The only thing 'wrong' is that between:the time the;Caponi's purchased their property, and the
date they proposed a development of their property is * e City ;moi purchased private property, changed its
zoning, developed It as park land, and now is dea18 4 with tti#IiProblems of that decision, not taking Into
account In that process the development rights and tesonableivelopment expectations the Caponi's have
always had. The Caponi's proved in court that they ought to beIiiitile to develop this property. He doesn't feel
the access is an issue any longer. The City has a responsibility to provide them with the access necessary to
effectuate the preliminary subdivision as originally submitted.
Councilmember Hunter asked about a statement made by,: Community Development Director Reichert
at an earner meeting relative to details such as access can* worked out at a later date. Todd Rapp
elaborated on statements made by Ms. Reichert at that meeting,oting that the access was designed by City
Engineering staff in the location they fritq: zroet:•appF pOt.e..;The Caponi's are willing to move it a few feet
in either direction, but he feels the location tsi: s i4Acl: s tidy been determined. Councflmember Hunter
asked whether there were conditions imposed ori this jStliiiiliia'ry' "a$bdfvislon. Community Development Director
Reichert responded that the preliminary plat was never approved,:iso the conditions were drafted by staff and
recommended by the Planning Commission, but were never. i. ppted by the City Council. The road was
designed by Engineering staff, but it was never approved by aiijidne.

Mayor Egan asked the City Attomei.as to what flexibjir the city has to redesign the road. City
Attorney Sheldon responded that the questiqkbeore the City .C;;OlcU is whether or not to grant public road

Councimember Hunter stated than: hilt i ti tpii Pt tools are great for communities that are
having trouble attracting businesses. Eagan has always had thi philosophy of fostering a healthy business
climate through low taxes and amenities and that has worked OVNvell. He has a problem. philosophically with
a healthy business community such as Eagan resorting to guaranteeing loans to expand our business. He
doesn't see why the city would want to Incur that risk when businesses are already being attracted to the
community.
Mayor Egan stated he feels that the ri:ikihe city faces compared to the opportunities gained Is minimal.

. the Carriage Hills offer pans out.
Community Development Director Reigtrtrtd :sat:•gvejs:if the city decided not to put a golf course at
that location, the city could hold the Northwestelti:ti4itttiidl preopigWof 10 years for an industrial park. Land is going
fast in Eagan. There aren't any other properties of this size In such a prime location.
Councilmember Hunter noted that the Council was elected to make these decisions on their behalf, and the

number of drivers for controlled substances testing during each calendar
year on an equal or annual ratenot less than the minimum annual
percentage rate of fifty percent (50%) of drivers. If the City conducts
random testing for alcohol and/or controlled substances through a
consortium, the number of drivers to be tested may be calculated for each
individual employer or may be based on the total number of drivers
covered by the consortium who are subject to random alcohol and/or
controlled substance testing at the same tnifrnum annual percentage rate
under this part or any DOT alcohol or controlled substance testing rule.

least 60 ral.
,f
(b) The collection site person shall pour the urine into two specimen bottles.
Thirty (30) ml. shall be poured into one bottle, to be used as a primary
specimen. At least 15 ml. shall be poured into the other bottle, to be used
as the split specimen.
(c) If the driver is unable to provide the appropriate quantity of urine, the
collection site person shall instruct the driver to drink not more than 24
ounces of fluids and, after a period of no more than two hours, again
attempt to provide a complete sample. If the driver is still unable to
provide a complete sample, the testing shall be discontinued and the City
notified. The MRO shall refer the driver for a medical evaluation to
determine if the driver's inability to provide a specimen is genuine or
constitutes a refusal to test. For pre-employment testing, the City may
elect to not have the referral made and revoke the employment offer.
(d) Both bottles shall be shipped in a single shipping container, together with
copies 1, 2, and the split specimen copy of the chain of custody form, to
the laboratory.
(e) If the test result of the primary specimen is positive, the driver may request
that the MRO direct that the split specimen be tested in a different DHHS-
certified laboratory for presence of the drug(s) for which a positive result
was obtained in the test of the primary specimen. The MRO shall honor
such a request if it is made within 72 hours of the driver having been
notified of a verified positive test result.
(f) When the MRO informs the laboratory in writing that the driver has
requested a test of the split specimen, the laboratory shall forward, to a
different DHHS-approved laboratory, the split specimen bottle, with seal
intact, a copy of the MRO request, and the split specimen copy of the
chain of custody entries.
(g) The result of the test of the split specimen is transmitted by the second
laboratory to the MRO.
(h) Action required by the regulations as the result of a positive drug test (e.g.,
removal from performing a safety -sensitive function) is not stayed pending
the result of the test of the split specimen.
(i) If the result of the test of the split specimen fails to reconfirm the presence
of the drug(s) or drug metabolite(s) found in the primary specimen, the
MRO shall cancel the test, and report the cancellation and the reasons for
it to the DOT, the City, and the driver.
(j) If the result of the primary specimen is positive, the laboratory shall retain
the split specimen in frozen storage for 60 days from the date on which the
13
/ 7
laboratory acquires it. Following the end of the 60 -day period, if not
informed by the MRO that the driver has requested a test of the split
specimen, the laboratory may discard the split specimen.
(k) When directed in writing by the MRO to forward the split specimen to
another DHHS-certified laboratory for analysis, the second laboratory shall
analyze the split specimen by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry to
reconfirm the presence of the drug(s) or drug metabolite(s) found in the
primary specimen. The split specimen shall be retained in long-term
storage for one year by the laboratory conducting the analysis of the split
specimen.
Reporting and Review of Results for Controlled Substance Testing •
(a) Confirmation Retest. The MRO shall notify each driver who has a
confirmed positive test that the driver has 72 hours in which to request a
test of the split specimen if the test is verified as positive. The driver is
responsible for all costs associated with the confirmatory retest unless
results are negative. If the driver requests an analysis of the split specimen
within 72 hours of having been informed of a verified positive test, the
MRO shall direct, in writing the laboratory to provide the split specimen
to another ;DHHS-certified laboratory for analysis. If the analysis of the
split specimen fails to reconfirm the presence of the drug(s) or drug
metabolite(s) found in the primary specimen, or if the split specimen is
unavailable, inadequate for testing or untestable, the MRO shall cancel the
test and report cancellation and the reasons for it to the DOT, the City and
the driver.
(b) MRO Shall Direct Analysis of Split Specimen. If the driver has not
contacted the MRO within 72 hours, the driver may present to the MRO
information documenting that serious illness, injury, inability to contact the
MRO, lack of actual notice of the verified positive test, or other
circumstances unavoidably prevented the driver from timely contacting the
MRO. If the MRO concludes that there is 'a legitimate explanation for the
driver's faillure to contact the MRO within 72 hours, the MRO shall direct
the analysis of the split specimen, as applicable, be performed.
(c) MRO Unable' to Contact Driver. If, after making reasonable efforts and
documenting these efforts, the MRO is unable to reach the driver directly,

(1) The driver expressly declines the opportunity to discuss the test
results.
(2) The driver has not contacted the MRO within five days of being
instructed to do so by the City.
6. ALCOHOL TESTING
•
The FWHA alcohol test rules require breath testing administered by a Breath
Alcohol Technician (BAT) using an Evidential Breath Testing Device (EBT). Two
breath tests are required to determine if a person has a prohibited alcohol
concentration. Any result less than 0.02 alcohol concentration is considered a
"negative" test. If the alcohol -concentration is 0.02 or greater, a second
confirmation test must be conducted: If the driver attempts and fails to provide an
adequate amount of breath, the City will direct the driver to obtain written
evaluation from a licensed physician to determine if the driver's inability to provide
a specimen is genuine or constitutes a refusal to test. Alcohol test results are
reported directly to the designated City contact person.

given, and the job applicant shall be deemed to have withdrawn the
application for employment.
(d) Pre-employment Tests.
Job Applicants (including those for promotion). The administrating
authority will not withdraw an offer of employment or promotion to a
driver position made contingent on the job applicant passing drug testing
based on a positive test result from an initial screening test that has not
been verified by a confirmatory test. Where there has been a positive test
result in a confirmatory test and in any confirmatory retest (controlled
substances only), the actmlristrating authority will withdraw the contingent
offer of .employment or promotion to a driver position if the City
determines in accordance with the Minnesota Human Rights Act that drug
usage or abuse prevents the job applicant from performing the safety -
sensitive functions of the job in question.
(e) Other Test. The administrating authority will not recommend discharge,
discipline, discriminate against, or request or require rehabilitation of a
driver solely on the basis of a positive test result from a screening test that

positive test result in a confirmatory test and in any confirmatory retest
(controlled substances only), the City may do the following:
(1) First ]Positive Test ' Result. Give the driver the opportunity to
participate in either a drug or alcohol counseling or rehabilitation
program, whichever is more appropriate. The City, through its
Employee Assistance Program, may determine which program is more
appropriate after consultation with a substance abuse professional or
physician trained in the diagnosis and treatment of chemical
dependency. Participation in a counseling or rehabilitation program
will be at the driver's own expense or pursuant to coverage under the
driver's own benefit plan. If the driver either refuses to participate in
the counseling or rehabilitation program or fails to successfully
complete the program, as evidenced by withdrawal from the program
before its completion or by a positive test result on a confirmatory test
after completion of the program, and alcohol or drug abuse prevents
the driver from performing the safety -sensitive functions of the job in
16
v
question, the administrating authority will recommend to the City
Council that the driver be discharged from employment.
(2) Second Positive Test Result. Where alcohol or drug abuse prevents
the driver from performing the safety -sensitive functions of the job in
question, the administrating authority will recommend to the City
Council that the driver be disciplined; including, but not limited to,
discharge from employment. The driver, whether discharged or not,
will have access to the City's Employee Assistance Program for
evaluation and referral in resolving problems with alcohol misuse and
controlled substances use.
(3) Suspensions and Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provisions
herein, the City may temporarily suspend the tested driver with pay for
up to 90 days or transfer that driver to another position at the same
rate of pay pending the outcome of' the confirmatory test and, if
requested, the confirmatory retest (controlled substances only),
provided the City believes that it is reasonably necessary to protect the
health or safety of the driver, co -employees, or the public.
(4) Other Misconduct. Nothing in this policy limits the right of the City
to discipline or discharge a driver on grounds other than a positive test
result in a confirmatory test arising from the same or other incident,
including, but not limited to, a conviction of any criminal drug statute
for a violation occurring in the workplace.
9. PENALTIES

substance testing administered by the City following the driver's
return to duty. The number and frequency of such follow-up
testing shall be as directed by the substance abuse professional,
and consist of at least six (6) tests in the first twelve (12) months
following the driver's return to duty. The City may direct the
driver to undergo return -to -duty and follow-up testing for both
alcohol and controlled substances, if the. substance abuse
professional determines that return -to -duty and follow-up, testing
for both alcohol and controlled substances is necessary for that
particular driver. Any such testing shall be performed in
accordance with the requirements of 49 C.F.R. Part 40. Follow-
up testing shall not exceed sixty (60) months from the date of the
driver's return -to -duty. The substance abuse professional may

recommended participation in a counseling or rehabilitation program will
be at the driver's own expense or pursuant to coverage under an employee's
benefit plan.
(e)
(f)
Conflict of Interest of Substance Abuse Professional. The City shall ensure
that a substance abuse professional who determines that a driver requires
assistance in resolving problems with alcohol misuse or controlled
substance use does not refer the driver to the substance abuse professional's
private practice or to a personal organization from which the substance
abuse professional receives remuneration or in which the substance abuse
professional has a financial interest. This paragraph does not prohibit a
substance abuse professional from referring a driver for assistance provided
through a public agency, the City or a person under contract to provide
treatment for alcohol or controlled substance problems on behalf of the
City, the sole source of therapeutically appropriate treatment tinder the
driver's health insurance program; or the sole source of therapeutically
appropriate treatment reasonably accessible to the driver.

D. RECOMMENDATION, AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION
EXPANSION OF MAC VOLUNTARY NIGHTTIME TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To approve expansion of MAC voluntary nighttime air traffic restrictions as presented.
FACTS:
The Metropolitan Airports Commission currently has voluntary nighttime agreements
with the air carriers to limit scheduled traffic between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and
6:00 a.m. The MASAC Operations Committee has determined that there may be an
opportunity to expand the time frame slightly through modifications of the airline
agreements.
At its meeting of October 10, the Airport Relations Commission considered this item
and referred it to its Long Term Planning Committee. The committee recommended
that the City go on record supporting nighttime restrictions between the hours of
10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.

THOMAS HEDGES
City Administrator
E. J. VAN OVERBEKE
City Clark
Like a number of other communities in northern Dakota County, Eagan
is very concerned about the effect of nighttime operations noise on
our residents. Over the years, the MAC has made effective use of
voluntary nighttime agreements to limit the amount of scheduled
traffic operating between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Recent
discussions by the MASAC Operations Committee suggest that the MAC
has an opportunity to expand this time frame at the shoulder hours
to the benefit of those in our communities most affected by
aircraft noise.
The City of Eagan requests that the MAC take steps to negotiate new
nighttime agreements with the carriers to limit scheduled
operations between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. We would
further request that the MAC regularly review operations schedules
to determine whether further expansions of the voluntary time frame
could be achieved.
If you have any questions concerning this request, please do not
hesitate to contact Jon Hohenstein of our staff. Thank you in
advance for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

K. VACATE FARM ROAD
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To receive a request and schedule a public hearing to consider
the vacation of Farm Road from Dodd Road to TH 3.
FACTS:
• With the recent construction of the Red Pine Lane signalized intersection with TH 3,. the Farm
Road access from Dodd Road to TH 3 had to be closed to through traffic.
• The previous intersection of Farm Road with TH 3 will remain as is but revert to a private
business entrance for Schwendeman Services. The only other access was for a residential
duplex unit with a short driveway connection to Farm Road near the Dodd Road intersection.
• With the closure and abandonment of a major portion of Farm Road, staffhas submitted a
request for Council consideration of vacating this public right-of-way.
ISSUES:
• With the vacation of this public right-of-way, the City's maintenance responsibilities will cease
and the property will revert to the adjacent property owners. The result will increase the
driveway responsibilities for the duplex unit.

MEMO TO: TOM COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS "•
FROM: WAYNE SCHWANZ, SUPERINTENDENT OF UTILITIES
DATE: NOVEMBER 2, 1995
SUBJECT: COACHMAN WATER TREATMENT FACILITY - PAINTING
CITY CONTRACT NO. 95-20
Due to paint deterioration from chemicals and rust caused by high humidity, it was decided to
start a progression of yearly painting projects at the North Water Treatment Facility.. The 1995
and the 1996 Department 61 budget contained dedicated funds of $15,000 in Line Item #4390
to complete this work. The North Water Treatment Facility was inspected and a priority list has
been established as to the schedule of painting the various areas within the plant. In the contract
year 1995-1996, the areas to be painted by priority were:
1. The sludge pit area piping and pumps
2. The cell area walkways and water piping
3. The cell area walls
4. The equipment and walls in the pipe gallery in the lower part of the plant
On November 2, 1995, sealed bids were accepted and reviewed in regards to this project. The
attached audit sheet of the bids contains the budget numbers which were appropriated to
accomplish this work, the engineer's estimate to accomplish this work, and the actual bid prices
received from the various painting contractors. Upon opening and review of the bids, it is
recommended that items 1 = 3 be done in the 1995/1996 calendar year. These three items require
the water treatment plant to be shut down for a period of two to three. months to de -humidify the
area and to allow the areas to be sand blasted and the paint to be applied and to dry.
I recommend that the first three items of this progression take place during the year 1995-1996
due to the fact that the Coachman Water Treatment Facility will have to be totally shut down to
accomplish this work. Additional areas which will need to be painted in upcoming years can be
done with the plant in operation. However, without being able to predict the future needs of the
city, nor not knowing when the North Water Treatment Facility will be expanded to eventual
capacity, we are not sure that we will be able to continue to shut this plant down and rely on the
South Water Treatment Facility to supply the water for the entire City of Eagan. Therefore, I
feel that it is important to complete these three items in this year knowing with certainty that the
South Water Treatment Facility can meet current demands within the City of Eagan and can
support the activities which will be needed through the winter months.
53
After review of the bids it is recommended that TMI Coatings Inc. be awarded the contract for
a bid of $28,350.00.
I request that you take these items under consideration and advise me as to which course of
action you would like me to pursue in this matter.

Bids were opened for the Coachman Water Treatment Plant Painting Project on Thursday, November 2,
1995. Transmitted herewith are six (6) copies of the bid tabulation for your information and file. For
budgetary reasons, the project was divided into four (4) separate areas to be bid upon. The City's budget
for this project is $15,000 from the 1995 fiscal year and $15,000 from the proposed 1996 fiscal year. '
Award of the project can be made upon any one (1),.or all four (4) project areas. The engineer's estimate
for all four (4) areas of the project was $58,900. Alternates to the base bid work were requested for
reductions in surface preparation efforts in two (2) areas [Areas 1 & 3] and the addition of an accent stripe
in another area [Area 2].
The following summarizes the results of the low five of eight base bids received:

$47,673.00
$48,350.00
$51,100.00
$59,200.00
$74,600.00
The low bidder on the project was Central Sandblasting Co., Inc. with a Base Bid of $47,673.00. Due to
the limited budget set up for this project, it is recommended that the City award only the Base Bid
consisting of Areas 1, 3 and 4 of Part 1. It is recommended that the City not award Part 1, Area 2 of the -
Base Bid nor any portion of Part II - Alternate Bids. Therefore, based on the information contained in the
Bid Tabulation, the award should go to TMI Coatings, Inc. for the adjusted Base Bid amount of
$28,350.00. These bids have been reviewed and found to be in order. We are therefore recommending
that the City award this project to TMI Coatings. Inc.

N. SNOW REMOVAL CONTRACT
Y
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve a snow removal contract with Gallagher's for
snow removal services for the 1995-96 season and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
all related documents.
FACTS:
• Bill Gallagher, of Gallagher's, has recently provided a private contractual snow removal
service for the City of Eagan in the eastern portions of our community.
• The renewable contract, with no change from the previous year's rate, is being presented to
the Council for their approval.

MEMO TO: TOM COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
FROM: ARN[E ERHART, SUPT OF STREETS AND EQUIPMENT
DATE: OCTOBER 24, 1995
SUBJECT: CONTRACTUAL SNOW PLOWING - 1994/95 SEASON
1
In the fall of 1994 we awarded the snow plowing contract to Bill Gallagher for two loaders at
$82.50 per hour, plus $5.00 per hour with plow for each unit, and one single axle truck with
plow at $60.00 per hour.
During the 1994/95 snow season we contracted plowing a portion of the city seven times and
received excellent results.
I have contacted Bill Gallagher and he is agreeable to renewing this contact for the 1995/96 snow
season at the same unit rates as last season. Because this contact route has many cul-de-sacs, I
requested one more loader be utilized to provide the same level of service as the rest of the city.
In order to ensure a quick response to our needs, he will continue to store the loaders at our
Maintenance Facility through the winter.
Recommendation
I recommend the city renew the contract with Bill Gallaher for the 1995/96 snow season at the
same unit rates as last season in the amount of $60.00 an hour for a single axle dump truck with
plow and sander, $87.:50 per hour for each loader with plow, and $82.50 for a loader only.

FACTS:
• Staff has maximized the reuse of existing furnishings and landscape screens to meet
layout requirements. Staff has identified landscape screen and partial furniture
requirements outlined in two separate specifications. For reasons outlined in the

TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HOHENSTEIN
DATE: OCTOBER 31, 1995
SUBJECT: AWARID CONTRACT - FACILITIES SYSTEMS INC.
LANDSCAPE PARTITITIONS
At the Council's direction, staff has made maximum use of existing equipment for the
furnishing of the remodeled City Hall. The Furniture and Steering Committees have also
made extensive use of the used and reconditioned furniture market for items that were
essential to the use of the new space (used tables for the the new conference rooms as
an example). These purchases have been minimal to date, totalling $21,400 of the
$208,000 budgeted for furnishings.
As the departments finalized their floorplans for the return to City Hall, each identified the
need for additional landscape screens to complete their layouts. While several
alternatives were explored, the best alternative is to utilize the existing •screens for
positions at the perinneter of the building and to purchase additional screens for the areas
closest to the front counters.
At the same time, MIS Coordinator Peterson recommended that the City incorporate
ergonomic considerations in any furniture purchases due to the rising incidence of
repetitive motion injuries in the workplace. The positions nearest the front counters are
those most prone to repetitive motion injuries. She indicated that various types of
systems furniture are preferred because they allow components to be interchanged and
mounted at optimum heights for individual workers. The Parks and Recreation
Department was equipped with Herman -Miller systems furniture several years ago which
Kristi says responds to the ergonomic concerns identified.
It was determined that it would be best from the standpoint of interchangeability and
consistency of finish if Herman -Miller or a comparable panel system could be purchased
for the areas by the front counters. This would allow the City to move toward systems
furniture in the future rather than continue to purchase traditional furniture.
Staff explored costs of systems furniture and found that Facilities Systems Inc. still honors
its state contract bicl price discount of 70% off of list price for Herman -Miller components.
It offers the advantage of a new product warranty and is price competitive with
comparable used, reconditioned equipment. It was discovered that Facilities Systems is
the only supplier of Herman -Miller in the area. Staff solicited separate quotations from the
company to fill out the Parks and Recreation floor plan and to furnish panels where they
were short in the other departments. The Parks and Recreation quotation was $12,859.50
and the quotation for panels in the other identified areas was $24,816.15.
At this amount, City policy typically calls for at least two quotations, unless an item has
already been bid through a cooperative bidding process. Staff is recommending that the
Council waive the requirement in this case and award contracts to Facilities Systems
based on the quotations because:
1. It is desireabie to have a system which is interchangeable and consistent
so that potential future rearrangements of space can use components from
all departments. The City already has a significant investment in Herman -
Miller equipment which meets the ergonomic needs identified by the MIS
Coordinator. Other systems furniture suppliers have indicated that panels
from different companies cannot be connected or interchanged.
2. Facilities Systems/Herman-Miller formerly held the State contract for
landscape screens and systems furniture and continues to honor the 70%
discount price from that contract. The price offered is competitive with
reconditioned systems identified.
3. Facilities Systems is the only supplier of Herman -Miller in the Twin Cities
area.
If you have any questions or require additional background please let me know.
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COUNCIL: To waive the requirement for two quotations
for systems furniture and landscape screens for the City Hall remodeling and to award
contracts in the amount of $12,859.50 and $24,816.15 to Facilities Systems, Inc. as
presented.

RE: City of Eagan Plan Amendment
Change in Land Use Designation on 15 acres from Single Family to Public Facilities
(Easter Lutheran Church)
• Metropolitan Council District 15
Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 161428-8
Dear Ms. Tyree:
The Metropolitan Council staff has reviewed the city of Eagan's plan amendment received by the
Council on October 3, 1995. The amendment proposes to change the land use designation on 15
acres of land from Single Family to Public Facilities for the Easter Lutheran Church. We have
determined that the proposed amendment has no potential impact upon any of the metropolitan
system plans. Therefore, the, city may place the amendment into effect immediately.
Because the proposed amendment appears unlikely to affect policies and plans in other chapters
of the Metropolitan Development Guide, the Council will waive further review and comment on
this amendment.
The amendment, explanatory materials supplied and the information submission form will be
appended to the city's plan in the Council's files.
This concludes the Council's review.
Sincerely,
Chuck Ballentine

SUBJECT: Unit 5 :Pumper Replacement
The Truck Committee met on Sunday, October, 29, 1995 to evaluate the two specifications the City
received for the proposed pumper replacement for Unit 5.
The committee is recommending that the Fire Department award the bid to General Safety Equipment
Corporation. General's bid was $191.00 more expensive than 3D Manufacturing, but due to the attached
list of exceptions that 3D has made, we feel that General's specifications are in the best interest of the
City.
BID AMOUNTS
General $199,980
Less air operated valve - 600
(see options) $199,380
3D $199,334
Less air operated valve - _195
(see options) $199,139
We are also requesting that the arrow stick option be included in the General bid for the amount of
$570.00. This would bring the total bid nin rtt fir +l,A ( neral pumper to $199,950.
1. 3D failed to specify a stainless steel subframe as specified in our specifications which the Eagan
Fire Department has had done on all pumpers since 1988. Prior pumpers that have not had a
stainless steel subframe have had a major corrosion problem (reference page 31).
2. .)U tailed to specify a "bolted" construction body. The Fagan Fire Department has had ar, all
bolted construction pumper since the first new pumper bought in 1965. This allows the
compartment walls, tops, backsides and floors to be easily unbolted from one another in case of
an accident or refurbishment of the apparatus (reference page 33).
3. 3D failed to provide foam lining in the compartment doors (reference page 40).
4. 3D is using a lighter gauge of metal (14 gauge) in the construction of the compartment doors
(reference page 39).
5. 3D failed to provide the specified type of door latching system (reference page 40).
6. 3D failed to specify 2" wide construction compartment doors -they are proposing 1. 5/8" (reference

U. JOINT CABLE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
PASS THROUGH OF PEG ACCESS FEE
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To approve the Cable Commission recommendation regarding the pass through of the
public - educational- government PEG access fee.
FACTS:
The Cable Commission has discussed the issue of PEG access funding several times in the
past and most recently in the context of rate settlement discussions. For reasons outlined
in the enclosure, the commission has unanimously recommended that the member cities
enter into a memorandum of understanding in connection with the cable franchise which
would permit the company to begin implementation of a PEG fee in exchange for which the
company, will guarantee that such fees will be dedicated to the provision of PEG access for
at least 15 years at the time of franchise renewal.
• Under current federal cable law, the company will be permitted to do this anyway
upon franchise renewal in 1998. The company is offering to guarantee provision of
access funding in exchange for the opportunity to implement the fee approximately
two years early.

ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HOHENSTEIN

NOVEMBER 1, 1995
JOINT CABLE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: PASS- THROUGH OF
PEG ACCESS FEB
PEG ACCESS FEE PASS- THROUGH DEFINITION
The practice of a pass- through of public access operation's expense
to the cable subscribers has been implemented in a myriad of
localities nationally, including numerous ones in the Twin City
area. In essence, the cable companies assess a monthly fee from
th subscribers to cover the support, operations and provision of
Public, Educational and Government access in the system. The fee
is then provided to the party responsible for the public access
operations. In Burnsville /Eagan's case, Meredith Cable would
currently retain the fee.
GENERAL HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The PEG access fee pass- through (PEG fee) was first initiated by
Meredith Cable in its original 1993 rate filings with the North
Suburban, Quad Cities, Columbia Heights and Ramsey /Washington cable
commissions. The commissions and company differed in their
interpretation of allowing a pass- through of PEG access expense for
previously imposed franchise obligations. As a result, discussions
began in 1994 concerning "rate settlements ", which included several
it ms in addition to the PEG fee. Subsequently, these four
commissions and Meredith have executed Memorandums of Understanding
(MOU) on these issues, including the pass- through of a PEG access
fee to the subscribers.
In April, the North Central Cable Commission (NCCC) allow d
Meredith to start assessing the PEG fee when the NCCC became
involved in public access transfer discussions. The NCCC
anticipated the PEG fee funds would be received by Meredith to run
access until such time that the NCCC took over public access
operations. This left the Burnsville /Eagan franchise area as
Meredith's only system to not reach accord on the "rate settlement"
issues.
BURNSVILLE /EAGAN HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
As part of Meredith's 1994 proposed rate settlement discussions,
Meredith proposed to the BECCC that it would extend its commitment
to fund and /or operate public acc ss for an additional 15 years
1
19
b yond the current franchise, provid d it could pass- through a PEG
access fee of approximately $1 starting in July, 1994. The
Commission rejected this proposal initially, but requested the
Executive Committee and staff to further review and discuss the
rate settlement issues, including the PEG fee.
In May, 1995, Meredith indicated that after the franchise is
r newed (1998), it will only continue to fund and /or operate PEG
access through the implementation of a pass - through of the PEG
access expense, and in lieu of that, the PEG access expense would
b deducted from the Cities' franchise fees. In either situation,
the company would no longer contribute more than 5% of its gross
revenues to support both PEG access and franchise fees. The
company asserts that this is allowed per the 1992 Cable Act. The
Commission's legal counsel concurs with this interpretation.
At the Commission's May meeting, the Commission addressed
Meredith's intentions regarding the PEG access fee pass- through.
The public access transfer issue was included with the PEG fee
discussion. The Commission discussed whether to allow the
implementation of the PEG fee with the July 1 rate adjustment, with
the understanding that if it was later determined that the public
access transfer would not happen then the PEG fee would be removed
and refunds made to the subscribers. The Commission did not reach
a conclusion on the PEG fee issue, but instead requested staff to
research issues involving the public access transfer.
In September, staff became aware that Meredith was negotiating an
ownership transfer of the cable system to Continental Cablevision.
Nationally, as well as locally in St. Paul, Continental has not
appeared to support PEG access as does Meredith. With one of the
main issues of franchise renewals customarily being PEG access
support, staff determined it may be more difficult, or impossible,
to negotiate PEG access renewal issues with Continental. As such,
staff recognized that the Commission had the responsibility to
address the issue of the PEG access fee before a sale is executed.
The Commission considered the PEG fee issue at its October 26
meeting.
PEG FEE ISSUES
Th following is a summary of the PEG fee issues discussed.
Meredith has indicated that it will not continue to fund
public access after renewal as it currently does. Presently,
Meredith provides both a 5% franchise fee and PEG support.
Meredith's current annual PEG support is approximately
$285,000.
Absent the provision of a PEG fee after renewal, Meredith will
contribute no more than 5% of its gross revenues to the
2
Cities. Any costs to operat public acc ss will b deducted
from the 5% franchise fee. Under this scenario, and current
public access operations, the Member Cities franchise fees
could be reduced by approximately 50 %.
• If Meredith is .allowed to implement the PEG fee on January 1,
Meredith would contractually agree to continue the financial
support of the public access operations as determined during
renewal negotiations, up to an additional 15 years. The
Member Cities' 5% franchise fee would remain unaffected.
• Currently, as a requirement of the franchise, Meredith is
required to provide full public access support through Year 15
of the franchise. Until two years ago, when rate regulation
took effect, the expense of public access support was included
within the subscriber's monthly bill. Rate regulation allow d
for the itemization of public access support, but in
Burnsville /Eagan's case, the subscriber was "grandfathered"
(for lack of better legal terms) from having to pay such
itemized support until renewal.
• Meredith has provided an itemization of its current PEG
expenses, approximately $285,000. If implemented, the 1996
PEG fee would be $.87 per month. This is based on the annual
expense, divided by the estimated average amount of
subscribers (27,500) in 1996. The amount of subscribers would
proportionately affect the fee on annual basis.
The proposed PEG fee is based strictly on costs directly
related to Meredith's Burnsville /Eagan public access
operations. It does not include the expense the Member
Cities, Cable Commission or school districts incur as a result
of providing /supporting public, educational and government
programming. For the Cities /Commission the expenses are
covered by franchise fees, while the schools are responsibl
for their own funding arrangements. It was agreed that these
costs should not be considered at this time, but may at a
later date.
According to the Commission's legal counsel, regardless of
what happens now, the cable operator will be allowed to
itemize the PEG fee on the subscriber's bill after renewal.
As part of a cable ownership transfer, the contracts between
the two parties normally prohibits either party from entering
into any "side" or contractual agreements during the time of
the sale analysis by the Commission. As such, the PEG fee MOU
must be executed prior to the execution of the sales agreement
between Meredith and Continental. It is assumed after the
sale is completed, Continental will not favor the PEG fee.
Therefore, as the sale announcement is imminent, the Member
Cities should consider this item at their November 6 meetings.

`S) I
•
•
•
It is the practice of the Commission's legal couns 1 to divide
his time equally among the commissions when working on 'a
shared issue. In the event the PEG fee issue is differed
until renewal discussions, the legal expense for PEG access
negotiations would be borne completely by Burnsville /Eagan.
This is because the other commissions have reached agreements.
According to legal counsel, in renewal negotiations, PEG
access support issues consume at least one -third of the
process.
In the other Meredith franchises, the commissions have
factored in escalation increases in the PEG fee, and /or have
the flexibility to adjust as necessary.
Although not directly related to the PEG fee, but related to
the rate settlement agreements, a windfall profits provision
has been included in the other commissions' agreements which
stipulates the subscribers receive a percentage of any
"windfall profits" which - Meredith might receive as a result of
the sale. The company has agreed to include the same
provision in the Commission's PEG fee MOU agreement.
There was a 'strong sentiment that the subscribers should
receive the best value for their dollar, and therefore, the
Commission should take more "ownership" in the PEG access
operations. To ensure this, alternatives for public acc ss
operations should be considered. As such, the issue of a
public access transfer was discussed, but it was agreed that
it should not be directly tied to these PEG fee discussions.
As proposed, Meredith Cable would receive the PEG fee as the
party responsible for PEG access operations. If transferred
at a later date, that party would receive all PEG fee funds.
The PEG fee would be appropriated to a special account at
Meredith, subject to Commission review and audit.
Although the Commission has been authorized by the Member
Cities to administer all rate issues, and although the PEG fee
is a rate issue, the Commission does not have the authority to
enter into a contractual agreement without authorization from
the Cities. Furthermore, as the MOU is directly tied to
franchise obligations, it would appear that the Member Cities
should execute the agreement and attach it to both the current
and renewed franchises.
CABLE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION
Although several Commissioners have not previously favored
implementing the PEG fee prior to renewal, after consideration of
4
8a-
th issues listed her in, all f the Commission rs.concurred that
the preservation of public access in Burnsville /Eagan was
paramount, and therefore the Commission unanimously recommended
that:
th Member Cities immediately enter into a contractual MOE
agreement with Meredith Cable that would allow for th
implementation of an $.87 PEG fee effective January 1, 1996, and
that Meredith, and any subsequent cable operator, would continue to
provide for public access as dictated by the current and renew d
franchises for an additional 15 years. In addition, the MOU would
include: annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index
inflation factor; three escalation increases (proposed at $.20
increments) that could be implemented at the discretion,of the
Commission, and; windfall profit language for the subscribers.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
The Member Cities need to - consider the information and Cable
Commission recommendation provided herein, and if in agreement,
authorize the appropriate agent to execute the MOU as soon as
possible.

X. APPROVE FRAMING OF EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE BUILDING
LEXINGTON- DIFFLEY ATHLETIC FIELDS
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To award contract for base framing of a park maintenance facility at Lexington Diffley to
Sussell Inc. in the amount of $
FACTS:
• Part of the master planning process for Lexington Diffley Athletic Fields provided for
an enclosed facility to house the irrigation equipment for the park as well as
temporary storage and coverage �f related equipment for maintenance and care of
the park. The intent of the City staff was to have this facility constructed by parks
maintenance forces similar to that which was done at Northview Athletic Fields.
However, because the work load carries the staff through 1995, we researched the
concept of having a portion of the building constructed utilizing contractual
services as was done with Clearwater Park. To this end, the staff solicited
quotations and proposals from contractors to provide rough framing of the facility
with the city forces performing the finishing work.
• The building is approximately 32' x 32' in size.
• The building will be similar in construction materials and detail as the existing
telephone building now located on site and will be located approximately 12 feet to
the northeast of this location. The building will house the irrigation equipment,
controls, pumps, backflow preventer, etc. associated with the irrigation equipment
as well as providing covered space for materials, supplies and equipment associated
with the site.
• Cost of the project has been contained within the CIP and is funded through the
Park Site Acquisition and Development Fund. Lexington Diffley Park is intended to
be placed in line for use during the 1996 softball and soccer season.
• Parks Maintenance crews will finish the facility with the exception of some electrical
and concrete masonry work incidental to the project.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MEETING
September 20, 1995
At 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 20, 1995, the Public Works Committee convened at the
Blackhawk Middle School. In attendance were Committee Chair Councilmember Ted Wachter,
Councilmember Shawn Hunter, City Administrator Tom Hedges, Public Works Director Tom
Colbert, and Assistant City Engineer Mke Foertsch.
LEROY CHAPDELAINE - REVIEW DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENT FOR STORM
SEWER • .
The LeRoy Chapdelaine property was represented by Mr. Don Chapdelaine and Mr. Martin
DesLauriers. Mr. DesLaurier informed the Committee that a potential buyer for the property backed
out of the acquisition after learning from the City that there would be storm sewer ponding and a
lateral drainage system required to accommodate the development. Mr. DesLaurier then indicated
that he researched City files to determine the extent of this new storm sewer requirement in
relationship to previous storm sewer assessments. His first question related to the rationale for the
property being assessed under Project 381 in 1984. Tom Colbert explained the details associated
with that project, the assessable area and the assessments against the Chapdelaine property in
question. Don Chapdelaine indicated he understood the explanation and then wanted to proceed with
additional questions. Mr. DesLaurier then questioned the amount of the assessment in relationship
to the project cost. Councilmember Hunter responded with an explanation regarding the uniformity
of the City's Assessment Policy and its history. Tom Colbert added additional information explaining
the difference between the trunk storm sewer system assessed under Project 381 and the lateral storm
sewer system required with future development. Mr. DesLaurier then questioned why the
Chapdelaine assessment wasn't reduced similar to the Borchert- Ingersoll and Gopher Smelting
property. A general discussion followed regarding the special assessment appeal process associated
with public improvements and the rationale of fairness and equity of applying a uniform rate to all
similar classifications of property on a City -wide basis in lieu of adjusting rates specifically for
individual drainage basins.
Councilmember Hunter then requested the City Attorney to review the City's method of applying a
uniform rate on a project -by- project basis and to comment on its appropriateness and legality. Don
- Chapdelaine then submitted a proposal for the Committee's consideration of calculating what the
assessment rate would be based on the construction costs for Project 381 and compare it to the
assessment amount levied and credit the difference towards any future storm sewer lateral and
ponding costs that may be required with future development.
The Committee indicated it would take it under consideration and let Mr. Chapdelaine know of their
position.
DON KLEIN - REVIEW SANITARY SEWER AVAILABILITY OPTIONS
Mr. Klein was present and explained the current condition of his onsite septic system and the history
of problems he has had requiring him to hook up to the City's sewer system as soon as possible.
Torn Colbert then reviewed the design options and cost estimates associated with extending lateral
sanitary sewer to Mr. Klein's property and its possible extension southerly along the east side of
Dodd Road to ultimately service the remaining large lot undeveloped agricultural properties in the
immediate area.
Mr. Klein indicated that after reviewing the costs associated with bringing sanitary sewer across Dodd
Road and his potential assessment, he felt the quickest and most economical method would be to
extend a long private sanitary sewer service from Witham Lane. Councilmember Wachter questioned
whether this would allow the future subdivision of Mr. Klein's property to maximize development
potential. Tom Colbert recommended that Mr. Klein provide a layout of his property identifying
potential future lots so that Mr. Klein could locate his sewer service along a common lot line allowing
maximum flexibility for future development- options.
Mr. Wachter then sumrnarized the discussion indicating that Mr. Klein's proposed sewer service
extension from Witham Lane was most practical but also expressed concern regarding providing
sanitary sewer service to the remaining undeveloped properties to the south in a scheduled and timely
manner.
The Public Works Committee meeting then adjourned at 5:00 p.m.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MEETING .
OCTOBER 17,1995
MINUTES
The meeting of the Public Works Committee was convened at 4:15 PM at the Blackhawk Middle
School. In attendance were Committee Chair Council Member Ted Wachter, Council Member
Shawn Hunter, City Administrator Tom Hedges, Assistant City Administrator Jon Hohenstein,
Director of Public Works Tom Colbert and City Attorney Tim Sheldon.
RICHARD AND JOSEPH CHAPDELAINE - REQUEST FOR STORM SEWER ASSESSMENT
ADJUSTMENT
Richard and Joseph Chapdelaine were represented by Don Chapdelaine who provided a brief
summary of the concerns and requests to be considered by the Public Works Committee. Don
Chapdelaine Indicated that Joe and Richard had a basic lack of understanding of the City's special
assessment policies and processes in the relationship between trunk area storm sewer assessments and
future lateral and ponding storm sewer requirements. They were basically agricultural land holders
who had no business interests in mind for the property at the time and had not retained legal services
to represent them in regards to their final assessments for Project 381 in 1985. In response to council
member Wachter's inquiry as to whether proposed pond would still be needed on the property with
future development, Public Works Director, Colbert explained that there are several options available
to handle the future increase run-off associated with development, of which ponding is one
alternative. Colbert further explained that any reference to a pending assessment has been removed
from the property to avoid further confusion.
In response to council member Hunter's inquiry, Colbert responded that the City always uses pre-
determined set special assessment rates for trunk area improvements. Hunter then further inquired
as to whether this was legal. City Attorney Sheldon explained the special assessment law using a
concept example of how accumulative projects of the City's comprehensive master plan support the
City's overall set special assessment fee schedule for similar zoned property throughout the
community. He further explained the relationship between special assessments under State Statute
429 and connection charges under Statute 444. In response to council member Hunter's inquiry as
to what other cities employ this means of assessments and fee collections, Sheldon responded that
Burnsville, Apple Valley, Rosemount and other similar cities presently do so Hunter then inquired
as to whether any of those communities have been challenged for those methods employed. Sheldon
sited the specifics of the Lakeville case (Crown Cork & Seal) where the City recovered court deleted
special assessment fees through the connection fee process. •
Council member Wachter then reviewed the special assessment levy and appeal process. With this
project being ten years old, he reasoned that it would not be appropriate to open up the process for
this request in fairness to all other property owners and recommended that no adjustment to the levied
assessment be made as requested. Council member Hunter concurred with Wachter and.stated his
belief that the City employs the perfect process which deals with appeals on a case by case basis at
the time of the final assessment hearing.
•
Don Chapdelaine inquired about the connection fee process wondering if properties whose
assessment had been reduced through the appeal process would receive a subsequent connection
charge at the time of development. City attorney Sheldon indicated that he would research that
question.
Committee Chair Wachter then stated that the committee's recommendation would be forwarded to
the City Council at their November 6th regular meeting. The committee then restated Mr.
Chapdelaine's question wondering if a property has received less than a full assessment for trunk
improvements, what would be the future connection charge.
MUNICIPAL CENTER EXPANSION - MATERIAL GUARANTEE
This discussion pertained to the color of the pre -cast sandstone bull nose trim for the Municipal
Center expansion and remodeling project. Councilman Wachter opened the discussion by indicating
that the color is still less than desired. City Administrator Hedges related discussions recently held
with the Contractor and had reviewed various options with the City Attorney. The Contractor had
reiterated his confidence that the color will match citing the company's past history of satisfactory
work and their years of experience. Hedges then distributed a memo from the Assistant to the
Administrator Hohenstein regarding the types of guarantee the City can expect from the Contractor.
Council member Hunter questioned whether the guarantee would include full replacement at a later
date. Hohenstein indicated that the guarantee would need further clarification reflecting the value of
the product taking into account its remaining useful life at the time that the guarantee was to be
enforced. Council member Wachter requested that additional information be provided when it
becomes available. Hohenstein indicated that the first objective of the City is to achieve a satisfactory
color match and the second objective will be to receive an adequate guarantee. There was no further
discussion or action regarding this item.
There being no other business to discuss, the Public Works Committee Meeting adjourned at 5 PM.
Respectfully Submitted,

.MEMORANDUM
TO: Tom Colbert, Director of Public Works
FROM: City Attorney's Office
DATE: November 2, 1995
RE: Prior Assessments and Subsequent Utility Connection Charges
Our rile No. 206 -7304
In accordance with your recent request, our office examined the issue of whether the City
of Fagan may impose utility connection charges on land against which assessments have
been previously levied for the construction of the utilities. Specifically, this office
understands that this issue arises under-your department's consideration of the following
hypothetical scenario:
In 1990, a parcel of land was assessed a trunk area charge for sanitary sewer. In
connection with an assessment appeal, the amount of the assessment was reduced
to a lesser figure. A number of years later, that same property seeks a utility
connection permit in order to hook-up to the sanitary sewer system.
Based on the foregoing scenario, you requested an advisory opinion on the following
issues:
1. Does the City have the authority to impose a connection charge on top of
the prior assessment?
2. If so, what may the City impose as the connection charge:
a. The current rate as sct forth by City Council resolution?
b. The current rate as sct forth by City Council resolution, less
the assessment previously paid?
c. The difference between the property's original trunk area
assessment and its actual proportionate cost of the trunk area
improvement?
The City has the authority to impose connection charges on property against which
assessments for the utility improvements have.becn previously levied. Minn. Stat.
§444.075, Subd. 3; Crown Cork & Seal Company. Inc. v. City of Lakeville, 313 N.W.2d
196 (Minn 1981); and Nordgren v. City of Maplewood. 326 N.W.2d 640 (Minn. 1982).

SEVERSON SHELDON-0 612 681 4300;# 3/ 5
Minn. Stat. §444.075, Subd. 3, grants to municipalities the authority to impose various
sewer and water charges "[t]o pay for the construction, reconstruction, repair,
enlargement, improvement, or other obtainment and the maintenance, operation and
use..." of municipal Water and sewer facilities. As the Minnesota Supreme Court in
Crown Cork explained:
The statute speaks of three types of sewer and water charges; the City has
the authority to impose "just and equitable charges for the use and for the
availability of such facilities and for connections therewith * * *."
313 N.W.2d at 198 (emphasis not added). The Minnesota Supreme Court explicitly held
that the City's discretionary authority to impose a use, availability and connection charge,
either separately or a combination thereof, to finance municipal sewer and water facilities
is clearly granted in §444.075, Subd. 3.
The essential facts in Crown Cork are of significance to the issues presented in this
memorandum. Tn 1992, Crown Cork purchase property in the Airlake Industrial Park in
the City of Lakeville.. At the time of the purchase, the property was improved with an
industrial building used for the assembly of mobile homes and was already serviced by
city sewer and water.. The City project which brought sewer and water to the property had
been fully assessed. The previous owners had connected to the municipal sewage and
water facilities and paid assessments and connection charges for such hook -ups. In 1977,
Crown Cork installed a canning manufacturing operation which required more water and
produced more scwa,ge and in turn required the installation of larger service lines to be
connected to the municipal facilities. The City of Lakeville levied a connection charge of
$117,115.00. $45,200.00 of the connection charge represented the Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission's SAC charges levied upon the City. The remaining portion of the
connection charges, $102,215.00, constituted the City's own connection charge. The
formula for calculating the City sewer and water connection charge was patterned after
the Metropolitan Waste. Control Commission's formula for its SAC charge.
Crown Cork argued that its property is exempt from connection charges because it has
been previously assessed sewer and water unit charges. It was not disputed that the
previous owner of the property paid four connection charges and the City credited Crown
Cork for those four previous connection charges. The Supreme Court rejected Crown •
Cork's argument that any portion of a connection charge which exceeds the actual cost of
making or supervising the connection to the facility may only be "fixed by reference to
the portion of the cost thereof which has been paid by assessment of the premises to be
connected, in comparison with other premises * * *."
The Court interpreted the above - quoted language from §444.075, Subd. 3, as merely
setting forth "permissible methods of calculating connection charges, i.e. connection
charges may be set by reference to the actual cost of connection as well as by reference to
assessments paid by the connecting property, or, 'in the discretion of the governing body',

by any other method, as long as the connection charge is, in the language of the statute,
just and equitable.' " 313 N.W.2d at 201 (emphasis not added); The Supreme Court
concluded that its interpretation "allows local government maximum flexibility in
financing municipal sewer and water services * * *." 313 N.W.2d at 201.
One year after the Supreme Court's decision in Crown Cork, the Court reaffirmed its
decision in Nordgren v. City of Maplewood, 326 N.W.2d 640 (Minn. 1982). In Nordgren,
the City assessed the property owners undeveloped lots for water and sewer system
improvements. The property owner appealed the assessments and the trial court reduced
the assessments on three lots and voided the assessments on three others. The City did not
appeal the trial court's decision and reduced the assessments accordingly. Subsequently,
the property owner attempted to develop a lot and the City charged $4,202.00 as
connection charges for hooking up to the water and sewer mains. When the City
originally Levied its assessments, this lot was assessed in the amount of $6,914.00, which
was entirely voided by the Court in the challenge to the assessment.
The district court in Nordgren ordered the City to refund the cash connection charge to
the property owner and held that the City was reimposing a charge already prohibited by
the Court and thereby undermining the property owner's successful appeal of the
assessment. The Minnesota Supreme Court, reversed the district count's order:
The levying of the connection charge in this case is authorized by Minn.
Stat. §444.075. * * * As we noted in Crown Cork, connection charges are
not assessments and may be imposed on top of prior assessments. Thus, the
City here could properly impose a connection charge on the land for which
assessments were voided, so long as the charge is just and equitable as the
statute requires. The April 1979 order voided assessments because there
was no benefit to the land. Crown Cork held that the benefit to the land is
not material to the different and separately authorized connection charge.
Thus, imposition of a connection charge on land where assessments were
voided is permissible when the landowners make connection with the
improvements.
326 N.W.2d at 642 (emphasis added). The Court noted, however, that the imposition of a
connection charge would be impermissible if it were imposed discriminatorily, or if the
charge was not just and equitable. 326 N.W.2d at 642.
Finally, it is noteworthy to point out the Court's observation that "without an ordinance or
resolution showing adoption of a standard charge imposed for all connections for sewer
and water services, it is impossible to ascertain whether the charge imposed varied from
that imposed on others." 326 N.W.2d at 642. Thus, the formal enactment of either an
ordinance or a resolution describing a connection charge is necessary. 326 N.W.2d at
642.

Applying the Minnesota Supreme Court's decision in Nordgren and Crown Cork the
following may be concluded:
11. The City may impose a connection charge for property against with prior
assessrnents for the utilities were levied;
2. The connection charge must not be imposed discriminatorily, i.e. the charge
must also be levied against other similarly situated property owners;
3. The amount of the connection charge has no relation to the amount of
benefit to the land as a result of the utility improvements and may be
in excess of the actual benefit and the actual cost of connection; and
4. Connection charges may be determined by: (1) reference to the portion of
the cost of connection which has been paid by assessment of the premises
to be connected in comparison with other premises; (2) by reference to the
actual cost of connection; -and (3) the cost of making or supervising the
connection.

C.. VACATE UTILITY EASEMENT - SODERHOLM ADDN
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To close the public hearing and approve the vacation of sanitary
sewer easements as described, authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents
subject to final subdivision approval by Council action and simultaneous recording with the final plat
at Dakota County.
FACTS:
• On October 17, the City Council received a petition requesting the vacation of an existing
sanitary sewer easement located within the proposed Soderholm Addition and scheduled a
public hearing to be held on November 6, 1995. All notices have been published in the legal
newspaper, sent to all potentially affected/interested utility companies and reviewed by City
staff. As of this date, staff has not received any objections to the proposed vacation.
• The easements being vacated were previously conveyed to the City of Eagan by separate
document incorporating an existing sanitary sewer line. With the proposed subdivision and
final platting of the Soderholm Addition, portions of this public easement are no longer
necessary as the sanitary sewer line will revert to a private sewer service to be maintained
privately. The remainder of the easement line will be rededicated with the final plat.
ISSUES:
• Due to the fact that the final plat has not yet been approved by Council action or recorded at
Dakota County, the vacation should be contingent upon such approval and simultaneous
recording with the final plat.

OLD BUSINESS
A. ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
► To approve or deny an Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 11, Section 11.20, Subd. 7,
Public Facilities District, establishing minimum setback requirements.
FACTS:
► Permitted uses allowed in the Public-Facilities zoning district include: public structures,
parks, playgrounds, camping grounds, swimming pools, tennis courts, golf courses,
churches, schools, and hospitals, provided any such purpose is not a commercial profit
making enterprise.
► The existing setback requirements in the Public Facilities zoning district are open ended in
that the setback is determined solely based on the height of the structure. The setback
requirement is two feet of setback for each one foot of structure height.
► The maximum setback required for commercial retail (Community Shopping Center) is 50'
from residential and agricultural land uses. The greatest setback required between land uses
in the City Code is the 100' setback between industrial development and residential, public
facility /park, and agricultural land.
► In light of the allowed uses within the Public Facility zoning district, the anticipated impact
to surrounding land uses would not likely approach that of either retail shopping center or
an industrial use.
► Therefore, the proposed ordinance amendment sets a minimum setback from 30' (to line up
with adjacent residential) up to 50' at a rate of 2' setback for every 1' height. For example,
a 12' high public building would require a 30' minimum setback. A 40' water tower would
require a minimum 50' setback.
► At the regular meeting of October 24, 1995, the Advisory Planning Commission
. recommended approval of this ordinance amendment.

MEMO
city of eagan
TO: Chairman Miller and Advisory Planning Commission Members
- FROM: . Mike Ridley, Senior Planner
DATE: October 18, 1995
SUBJECT: October 1995 APC Agenda - Ordnance Amendment
BACKGROUND -�
Several months ago the City Council discussed setback requirements in the Public
Facilities "P" District. The setback requirements for this district are 2 feet of setback for
each 1 foot of structure height and the Council believed this requirement was too
restrictive. A that time, Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance amendment that
would allow the Council flexibility in determining setback requirements for the "P" Zoning
District.
An amendment allowing the Council to determine appropriate setbacks on a case by case
basis was reviewed by the APC at their regular meeting of August 22, 1995, and tabled
with direction given to staff to prepare an amendment that included specific criteria for the
Council to use when determining setback requirements.
REVIEW
Permitted uses allowed in the "P" Zoning District include: Public structures, parks,
playgrounds, camping grounds, swimming pools, tennis courts, golf courses, churches,
schools, and hospitals, provided any such purpose is not a commercial profit making
enterprise.
Examples of the two most restrictive setback requirements found in the City Code include:
(1) The maximum setback required between commercial retail (Community Shopping
Center) and any other land use is-the 50' minimum setback required from residential and
agricultural land uses, and (2) The greatest setback required between land uses is the
100' setback between industrial development and residential, public facility /park, and
agricultural land.
Regardless of the type or height of a public facility structure, the anticipated impact to
surrounding land uses would not likely approach that of a retail shopping center and its
affect on a residential or agricultural land use.
PROPOSAL
In Tight of the allowed uses within the "P" Zoning District and the review of other
restrictive City Code setback requirements between different land uses, staff is proposing
an amendment that provides a 30' minimum and 50' maximum setback standard to be
added to the existing setback language for this Zoning District.

B. AUTHORIZE PARTICIPATION, RUNWAY 4/22 MEDIATION SURVEY
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To authorize City participation in the Runway 4/22 mediation survey and allocate funds
from the budget contingency in an amount not to exceed $17,500.
FACTS:
• The City Council has previously discussed participation in a public survey in regard
to the mediation of the Runway 4/22 Aircraft Noise Attenuation Program. The
Council directed staff to return the item with a specific dollar amount prior to formal
consideration. Since that time, staff has reviewed bids and the City's proportion of
the survey costs.
•
All of the participants in the Runway 4/22 mediation including the cities of
Minneapolis, Bloomington and Richfield and the Metropolitan Council and the
Metropolitan Airports Commission have authorized participation up to $20,000.
Unless the City of Eagan authorizes financial participation, it will no longer
participate in the mediation and noise abatement process.
• The mediation group is prepared to award the survey and analysis contract to BBN
Systems and Technologies at a cost not to exceed $102,400. The City of Eagan's
proportion of the share would be 1/6 of this amount.

TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HOHENSTEIN
DATE: NOVEMBER 2, 1995
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZATION FOR PARTICIPATION -
RUNWAY 4/22 MEDIATION SURVEY
BACKGROUND
At the recommendation of the Airport Relations Commission, the City Council previously
authorized staff to participate in the Runway 4/22 Mediation process. This is in
consideration of the fact that the runway extension project anticipates that 40% of the
traffic from 4/22 will be directed along two new headings which will increase the aircraft
overflight impacts in western and southern Eagan, without reducing impacts in northern
and eastern Eagan. The Commission expressed concerns that the results of a mediation
not including Eagan would result in the maximum traffic being focused along those flight
tracks as a means of relieving impacts on Minneapolis, Bloomington and Richfield.
Since this spring, staff has actively participated in theJmediation process and.pursued the
City's position. One of the proposed inputs to the mediation is a public information
survey with cost participation from each of the four cities, the Metropolitan Council and
the MAC. Based on preliminary estimates, each City participating in the mediation was
asked to contribute up to $20,000 to the survey costs. The City Council directed staff to
determine a specific dollar amount prior to a final consideration in this regard. The
Mediation Group distributed an RFP and is prepared to award a contract to BBN Systems
and Technologies in an amount not to exceed $102,400. Eagan's 1/6 share of this
amount is approximately $17,500. The other cities and the two agencies have each
approved participation up to $20,000. If participation is approved, staff would recommend
that the allocation be made from the budget contingency.
FIRM QUALIFICATIONS AND SURVEY CONTENT
The proposed firm, BBN, has done extensive acoustics research and performed similar
aircraft noise surveys for a number of communities, most recently Seattle- Tacoma. The
principals have significant experience with respect to the effects of noise nuisance on
sleep disturbance, activity interference, property values and other acoustics effects. Their
surveys also provide baseline data against which to test results from the affected
communities.
/7
The survey itself would include questions regarding neighborhood characteristics and the
nature and extent of current aircraft noise impacts and annoyance. The survey would
also test the benefits of various types of aircraft noise abatement including changes in
numbers of overflights and sound insulation. These would be stratified by city, housing
type, actual noise level and other characteristics helpful in defining appropriate noise
abatement strategies. The questionnaire is also anticipated to provide an opportunity for
respondents to suggest alternatives or impacts which may not have been raised by the
survey.
The survey sample would consist of approximately 1,000 persons and would include
between 150 and 200 Eagan residents. The survey would be conducted by telephone
with a call -back protocol to maximize response and increase statistical significance.
CONCLUSIONS
While the City's share of the survey cost is significant, it presents an opportunity to gauge
the attitudes of residents concerning a significant change in operations at the airport.
While some attitudes rnay be intuitively anticipated, the survey would provide a level of
statistical value to the conclusions it presents while permitting the communities
participating to compare perceptions in a uniform manner. While it is not the primary
focus of the survey, the results may also be instructive to the City in its positions on the
Dual Track Airport Planning Process.
If you have any questions in this regard, please let me know.

A. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - S. J. KNIGHT
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To approve or deny a Conditional Use Permit to allow a loading area within 300' of a residential
district for a new 20,000 square foot building on Lot 6, Block 4, Eagandale Center Industrial
Park, zoned Research and Development, located at 1335 Eagan Court subject to the seven
conditions recommended by the Advisory Planning Commission.
FACTS:
► PROFIT International is proposing to construct a 20,000 square foot Research and
Development facility for the design and development of custom mounting brackets for
cellular phones in vehicles.
► In an R &D district loading docks must be located at least 300' from a residentially owned
district unless a Conditional Use Permit is granted to allow the dock closer to the
residential area.
► The proposed loading area will be located on the north side of the building. The
residential zone is located on the west side of the property.
► The dock will be screened by a natural change in grade. The loading area is
approximately 9' lower than the west edge of the property. There will also be landscaping
with Austrian and Scotch Pines to screen the west side of the building and the loading
area from the residential area.
► The Advisory Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this item at its regular
meeting on October 24, 1995 and recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit
subject to the seven conditions in the staff report with the modification to Condition #5
to include berming along with the proposed trees on the west side of the building and
loading area.
ISSUES:
► The immediate neighbors to the west attended the Planning Commission meeting and
voiced concern about the site being used as a dump in the past. They were generally
pleased with the idea of the property developing, but were concerned about the proximity
of the loading area to their property.
► Since the Planning Commission meeting, staff has further evaluated the site and believes
that a berm is not necessary to provide adequate screening to the residential area given
the significant grade change existing and the proposed landscaping.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - S.J. Knight, LLC
Chairman Miller opened the first public hearing of the evening regarding a
Conditional Use Permit to allow a loading area within 300 feet of a residential district as
part of a 20,000 square foot research and development/office building on 3.4 acres
currently platted as Lot 6, Block 4, Eagandale Center Industrial Park located on
Eagandale Court in the SW' /a of Section 11.
Planner Harlicker introduced this item. Mr. Harlicker highlighted the information
presented in the City staffs planning report dated October 17, 1995. Mr. Harlicker noted
the background and history, the existing conditions and the surrounding uses of the
subject property. Mr. Harlicker further outlined the City staffs evaluation of the
applicant's request. Mr. Harlicker concluded that due to the expected limited amount of
truck traffic and the screening provided along the west property line, the proposed
r;.., loading area should not impact the adjacent residential zone and is compatible with the
iy t
:.: surrounding uses to the north, south and east. The owners of Pro -fit International, Jeff

ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
and Scott Knight, and Jack Shaw, the general contractor for the applicant, were present
stated that they were open to any questions. A resident of 2935 Egan Avenue inquired as
to why there is an issue for a conditional use permit when the proposed loading area is
within 135 feet when there is a 300 -foot minimum Another resident adjacent to the west
of the site, Dolly Johnson and her husband, were also present. Ms. Johnson stated she
was concerned with the loading area because she was not certain where it was located.
Planner Harlicker advised that it will not be facing the Johnsons' property, rather will be
facing north toward the cul -de -sac. He further stated that all traffic will be moving away
from their property.
In response to Member Isberg's request, Planner Harlicker responded to the first
resident's comment and stated that the 300 -foot measurement is not a prohibition to the
use of a loading are but rather that if the use is within 300 feet of a residential zone, then
a conditional use permit is required. Planner Harlicker further explained that the proposed
loading area is 135 feet from the west property line and therefore within the 300 -foot
standard which requires the conditional use permit.
Member Wallace stated that he is reluctant to support the loading area if heavy
truck traffic is anticipated. Member Wallace questioned the applicant as the future
volume of truck traffic at the site. Jeff Knight stated that the company's experience is that
it is only limited truck traffic, limited to almost only UPS delivery which is common to
most residential homes in the City. Mr. Knight further stated that even as the company
grows, the need for large truck shipment is not anticipated due to the size of its product.
Chairman Miller inquired with the applicant with respect to their future plans for
the site. Jeff Knight stated that it is their intent to make their primary residence as a
business at the site. John Shaw, the applicant's general contractor presented to the
Commission the site plan with respect to the proposed landscaping. The site plans
showed the site line of the building with respect to the properties to the west with the
young Austrian and Scotch Pines as screening and the sight line once the Pines mature.
Mr. Shaw explained that currently the sight line allows visibility only of the top of the
building from the properties to the west. Mr. Johnson expressed concern regarding the
size of the business and also complained about the present state of the field between the
buildings and the west property line. In response to Mr. Johnson's question, Chairman
Miller explained what a conditional use permit is and clarified that the request is for a
conditional use permit for a loading area, not for the principle use itself. Member Isberg
stated that he would like to add a condition. which regulated the volume of truck traffic to
the site. City Attorney Dougherty stated that the vehicular traffic is not the basis for a
conditional use permit, but rather the location of the loading dock requires the conditional
use permit. Member Isberg then suggested an added condition that there be, in addition to
the plantin of Ines along the western line, that the applicant install berming to give
addition sight noise barrier.

ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
Chairman Miller stated that he has no problems in supporting the request for the
conditional use permit if the residents most effected by the proposed use have no
concerns. Chairman Miller stated, however, that the residents appear to be reluctant about
the use of a loading dock adjacent to their property. Member Isberg stated that he will
support the request if the added condition for the berming is included in order to assure
nominal intrusion on the adjacent residents. Member Carlson stated that she supports the
proposed use because the natural grade of the site creates a natural berm, the applicant
intends to plant pine trees for screening, clean-up the site, and that daily UPS delivery is
not an intensive intrusion on the adjacent property owners. She concluded that the
proposed use is light and minimal. She stated that she would support an added condition
that the applicant install benning along the west property line.
Member Isberg moved, Member Carlson seconded, a motion to recommend
approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a loading area within 300 feet of a
residential district as part of a 20,000 square foot research and development/office
building on 3.4 acres currently platted as Lot 6, Block 4, Eagandale Center Industrial
Park located on Eagandale Court in the SW1/4 of Section 11, subject to the following
conditions:

F. Will have vehicular ingress and egress to the property which does not create traffic
congestion or interfere with traffic on surrounding public streets.
G. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature
of major importance.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
This property was platted between 1967 and 1970 as part of Eagandale Center Industrial Park.
The R & D zoning classification was assigned to this property in 1967 to provide a buffer
between the industrial uses on the east and the residential zone on the west. The purpose of the
R & D District is to "create a district that permits, subject to regulations, restrictions and controls,
professional research and development and limited industrial structures and operations which will
be compatible with the predominantly residential character of surrounding areas so as to preserve
for the residents of the City the full use, benefit and enjoyment of their homes and property."
Access to the property via Eagandale Court was treated in 1986 with the surveying and platting
of the cul -de -sac. No previous development has occurred on this parcel. The proposed research
and development/office use is permitted in this zoning district; however, during the building
permit review it was determined that per Section 11.10. Subd. 14. D. of the Zoning Code, a
Conditional Use Permit was required for the placement of the loading area within 300 feet of a
residential zone.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is mostly flat with a moderate slope along the east property line. The property is higher
than the surrounding properties to the north, south and east. Vegetation is mostly small second
growth trees and brush with groupings of larger elms and boxelders along the west property line.
There are no structures on the site.
SURROUNDING USE The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan
designations surround the subject property:
North - General office and manufacturing; zoned R &D and designated (R & D) Research and

West - Single family residential; zoned R -1 and designated (D -1) Single family residential, 0 -3
u/ac
EVALUATION OF REOUEST
Pro Fit International designs and develops custom mounting brackets to mount cellular phones
in vehicles. The proposed research and development/general office use are permitted uses in the
R & D Zoning District. The proposal includes a 20,000 square foot building with 20 parking
spaces. The applicant also indicates an area for future expansion to the rear of the proposed
structure. The proposed location of the loading area is within 135 feet of the residential zone.
According to the developer, truck traffic will be limited. Traffic will include UPS deliveries, two
or three medium sized trucks per week and an occasional semi truck.
SITE PLAN
Architecture - The building will be constructed of concrete wall panels with an aggregate finish
and will consist of 16,000 square feet of research & development/storage and 4,000 square feet
of office.
Setbacks - The developer complies with all building and parking setback requirements. The
proposed building is setback 100 feet from the adjacent residential property to the west., 125 feet
from the north property line, 160 feet from the south property line and 100 feet from the east
property line.
Lot Coverage - In the R & D District not more than 20% of the lot area shall be occupied by
buildings. The proposed 20,000 square foot building covers 13.4% of the lot and therefore
complies with the 20% maximum building coverage requirement. The developer shows an area
for future expansion on their site plan. This expansion would increase the size of the building by
20,000 square feet, bringing the building coverage up to 26.8 % which exceeds to 20% maximum
building coverage requirement. In order to comply with the 20% building coverage requirement,
the maximum size of the building would be limited to 29,769 square feet. The applicant should
revise the site plan to reduce the area for future expansion to comply with the 20% lot coverage
maximum.
Parking - The City Code does not address parking requirements for research and development
facilities; however, research of other communities that have parking requirements specifically for
research and development uses typically require parking at a ratio of 1 space for every 550 SF
/d 6
Planning Report - S.J. Knight
October 24, 1995
Page 4
of floor area. Using this standard, 29 spaces are required for the 16,000 square feet research and
development portion of the proposed building. Using the parking requirements for office space,
22 spaces are required for the office portion. With this scenario, 51 on site parking spaces should
be provided. Proposed on site parking is 20 spaces and proof of parking shown for an additional
52 spaces for a total of 72 spaces. The applicant shows sufficient proof of parking to meet the
parking requirements for the future expansion.
Because of the design and engineering nature of their specific operations, the developer has
indicated that their employee parking needs will be less than 20 spaces; however, they have
designated an area for "proof of parking" that will 'accommodate an additional 52 spaces on site.
The developer will be required to enter into an agreement with the City regarding implementation
of "proof of parking."
LoadinvArea - The Zoning Code Section 11.20. Subd. D. 4. states that loading docks and truck
parking is not permitted on the side of an R & D District abutting a Residential District. The
loading area is located on the north side of the proposed building, which abuts the R & D
District, 135 feet from the adjacent residential zoning district to the west. The loading area
consists of 2 loading docks and a 14' x 14' overhead drive -in door. The Zoning Code Section
11.10. Subd. 14. D. states that a Conditional Use Permit is required for any proposed loading area
within 300 feet of any residential district.
Access - Access to the site will be via a single driveway which will service both the loading area
and the parking area.
Trash/Recycling - Trash and recycling containers should be stored inside the building or within
an enclosure that is attached to the principal structure and constructed of the same exterior
material as the principal structure.
Landscaping - The Landscaping Plan is acceptable. The residential area will be screened from
the loading area. The developer is proposing 11 Austrian Pines and 9 Scotch Pines to screen the
west side of the building. This screening extends to the north property line so that the loading
area is effectively screened from the adjacent residences.
Grading/ Wetlands - Minor modifications are needed to the drainage plan. The site will require
minimal grading for preparation.
There are no wetlands on the site.
Storm Drainage/Water Quality - Storm sewer is available from Eagandale Court. The proposed
storm sewer does not include enough catch basins. There are no storm drainage /water quality
issues related to the loading area

Utilities - The preliminary utility plan is acceptable.
Easements/Rights of Way/Permits - There is a 50 foot wide Northern Natural Gas easement along
the west property line and a 10 foot wide drainage and utility easement along the north property
line.
Tree Preservation - The tree preservation plan is acceptable. There are 7 significant trees on the
site, all of them elms, ranging in size from 9 to 12 inches. They are all located along the west
property line within the 100 foot building setback and will be preserved.
SUMMARY /CONCLUSION
The placement of the loading area within 300 feet of the adjacent single family residential zone
to the west requires a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant has indicated that truck traffic will
include daily UPS delivery and pickup, 2 or 3 medium sized trucks per week and an occasional
semi truck. The proposed landscaping includes an evergreen screen along the west side of the
property that will screen the loading area from the adjacent residential area.
•
Because of the limited amount of truck traffic and the screening to be provided along the west
property line, the loading area should not impact the residential zone. The proposed use should
be compatible with the surrounding uses to the north, south and east.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
To recommend approval or denial of a conditional use permit to allow a loading area within 300
feet of a residential zone, as part of a 20,000 square foot research and development/office
building on Lot 6, Block 4 of Eagandale Center Industrial Park. If approval of this permit is
recommended, it shall be subject to the following conditions:
Site Plan
1 If outdoor storage of the trash container is proposed, details and elevations of the
enclosure are required. They shall demonstrate that it is compatible and made of the same
exterior material as the principal building.
2. This permit shall be recorded at Dakota County within 60 days of Council approval.
3. The driveway entrance shall be constructed with a concrete apron in accordance with City
standards.
4. The developer shall enter into an agreement with the City regarding implementation of
proof of parking.

Agenda Information Memo
November 6, 1995 Eagan City Council Meeting
B. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A TRUCK TERMINAL AND
SECONDARY SALES AND SERVICE; CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO
ALLOW FUEL STORAGE ON -SITE - HOOVESTOL, INC.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
1. To approve or deny a Conditional Use Permit to allow a truck terminal and secondary sales
and service of trucks and trailers on Lots 17 -24, Block 2, Eagandale Center Industrial Park
No. 4 subject to the 15 conditions recommended by the Advisory Planning Commission.
2. To approve or deny a Conditional Use Permit to allow an underground fuel storage tank on
Lots 17 -24, Block 2, Eagandale Center Industrial Park No. 4 subject to the 5 conditions
recommended by the Advisory Planning Commission.
FACTS:
• Hoovestol, Inc. is currently located in the Roadway Trucking building at 2950 Lone Oak
Circle. They are proposing to relocate the business to this site. Hoovestol, Inc. is a
truck/trailer leasing company; the majority of their business is leasing, with sales and
service of trucks and trailers being a secondary use.
► Sales activity will not include the general public, but will be geared to other trucking
companies and/or professional truckers. Truck and trailer repair will occur inside the
building.
• The proposed site plan indicates that the existing building will be utilized for
office /warehouse and minor repair. Initially there will be 815 s.f. of office and 17,532 s.f.
of storage space that will be used primarily for repairs. The applicant indicated that the
office may be expanded in the future to 1,650 s.f.
• Forty (40) parking stalls for employees will be provided with 36 in the lot south of the
building and 4 are indicated for future parking in the lot north of the building. Forty stalls
is based on code requirements to meet their potential future use with 1,650 s.f. of office.
The plan indicates space to park 97 trucks and trailers, however this reflects minimal
maneuvering space. The applicant states that typically 30 -40 trucks and trailers would be
parked on -site an any time, but there may occasionally be a need for more parking. Two
access points from Mike Collins Drive are proposed. An existing driveway south of the
building will be removed.
► Less than 30% of the significant trees and woodlands will be removed to accommodate this
development. An on -site detention basin will be provided to treat runoff prior to discharge
off -site to Pond EP -2 within the Borchert Ingersoll property.
► An underground fuel tank is proposed to be located south of the building and east of the
employee parking area. The fuel tank will comply with all State regulations to ensure safety
and environmental protection.
► The Advisory Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on these proposed
Conditional Use Permits at its regular meeting on October 24, 1995.
► The Commission recommends approval of the conditional use permit to allow a truck
terminal subject to the 15 conditions in the staff report, with the following modifications:
▪ Condition #5 - Delete "or clean"; therefore the developer would be required
to repaint the building.
▪ Condition #10 - Add "Much denser" to ensure additional screening is provided
along the south edge of the parking lot to increase the buffer to the residential
development across Yankee Doodle Road.
► The Commission recommends approval of the conditional use permit to allow a fuel storage
tank subject to the 5 conditions in the staff report.
ISSUES:
► The president of the Wescott Square Townhome Association expressed concerns about:
- the overall size of the parking lot and the trucking operation
- smells and safety issues related to the fuel tank
- increased truck traffic and noise
- insufficient screening of the parking lot
► APC members also expressed concerns about the appearance of the development and its
impacts on the adjacent residential development. They felt the buffer between the parking
lot and Yankee Doodle Road should be substantially increased. They suggested adding
"much" denser landscaping to provide better buffering.
► Staff notes that if berming is desired, the setback from Yankee Doodle would have to be
increased to allow space for a berm on the north side of the detention pond. It appears that
an additional 20 -25 ft. of setback would provide space for a 3 -4 ft. high berm north of the
pond. This would result in a smaller parking lot and reduce the amount of available
truck/trailer parking by about 8 spaces (assuming 12 foot wide stalls). The applicant has
indicated that their typical parking need is 30 -40 truck/trailer spaces, so reducing the
proposed 97 parking spaces by 8 spaces should not have a significant impact on the
proposed operation. While the applicant has concerns about limiting their operations and
expansion potential, consideration must also be given to the intensity of development on this
site adjacent to residential uses and along Yankee Doodle Road which is the primary entry
to the City's Central Area. Since the proposed use is conditional, the City may place
conditions on the use to minimize impacts of the proposed use on surrounding development
and future land uses.
• If the City Council concurs with this suggestion, a condition could be added to require an
additional setback from the south property line to provide berming and additional
landscaping of the parking lot.

ADVISORY PLANNING COMNIISSION*
CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS - HOOVESTOL, INC.
Chairman Miller opened the next public hearing of the evening regarding a
Conditional Use permit to allow a truck terminal and secondary sales and service of
trucks and trailers on Lots 17 -24, Block 2, Eagandale Center Industrial Park No. 4,
located on the east side of Mike Collins Drive, north of Yankee Doodle, in the SE1/4 of
Section 11 and a Conditional Use Permit to allow underground fuel storage and
dispensing.
Planner Farnham introduced this item. Ms. Farnham highlighted the information
presented in the City staff's planning report dated October 18, 1995. Ms. Farnham noted
the background and history, the existing conditions and the surrounding uses of the
subject property. Ms. Farnham further outlined the City staffs evaluation of the
applicant's request and noted that it will be compatible with the existing and future uses
in the Eagandale Center Industrial Park.
A representative of the applicant was present and stated that he was open for any
questions. Elizabeth Larson, a resident and President of the adjacent Wescott Square
Townhome Association was present as their representative. She stated that the
Association's main concerns were what conditions were placed on the conditional use
permit, the overall size of the project, why a retaining wall is not required along the south
portion of the property and whether the townhome development will be impacted by
adverse odors. Chairman Miller addressed Ms. Larson's questions stating that there would
be no sale of fuel on the site and that the applicant will be required to follow all federal
and state regulations with respect to the underground storage tank. Chairman Miller
further gave Ms. Larson a copy of the conditional use permit conditions. With respect to
the retaining wall, Ms. Farnham stated that a retaining wall along the east portion of the
property was required due to the steep slopes and to preserve trees. There is no need for a
retaining wall on the south because the site naturally slopes to the south. Ms. Larson
stated that the residents are also concerned with the visibility of the site, truck traffic and
noise. Ms. Farnham responded that while there are existing trees that will be removed
along Yankee Doodle Road, trees in the southeast will be saved and landscape screening
is required along the south edge of the site. Ms. Farnham noted that the Commission
could require that the landscape screening be more dense than proposed. Member Carlson
concurred that more dense screening along the south property line should be required to
protect the adjacent residents. Chairman Miller recommend that condition number 10 be
revised to read "much denser" landscaping. Member Wallace recommended that
condition number 5 be revised to delete the phrase "or clean" thereby requiring the
developer to repaint, not with an alternative to clean, the building's exterior. Member
Isberg inquired whether an added condition regulating the maximum number of trucks on
the site is feasible.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Previous business on this site include Koerner Trucking Company and Barrel Reconditioning, Inc.
which occupied Lots 17 -19. Lots 20 -24 have not been developed. A conditional use permit was
granted for Barrel Reconditioning in March 1981 to allow outdoor storage of barrels, not to
exceed six feet. They also received a variance to the parking setbacks and lot .paving
requirement. Hoovestol, Inc. is currently located in the Roadway Trucking building at 2950
Lone Oak Circle. They were granted a Conditional Use Permit in 1989 to allow the sales and
lease of used trucks and trailers as a secondary use to their primary contract .mail hauling
operation.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site consists of eight lots. Lots 17 -19 contain an existing one -story building. There are two
existing driveway into unpaved parking areas. An old chain link fence surrounds these lots.
Lots 20 -24 are undeveloped. The applicant intends to combine these eight lots into one tax
parcel. The property is not currently in use. Some significant oak woodlands exist on the eastern
edge of the site which abuts the County compost site. Several poplars have grown up on the
remainder of the site, which appears to have been disturbed during construction of surrounding
properties. A hill, which appears to be a soils stock pile, exists near the center of the site. Some
slopes in excess of 30% exist along the east edge of the property which is heavily wooded. The
remainder of the site is relatively level, sloping gently to the south -west.
SURROUNDING USES
The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the
subject property:

East - County compost; zoned Planned Development (PD); guided Industrial (IND)
West - Industrial; zoned Industrial (I -1); guided Industrial (IND)
EVALUATION OF REOUEST
Proposed Use - The applicant operates a truck leasing company. The majority of Hoovestol's
business is leasing with sales of trucks and trailers being a secondary use. The sales activity,
as proposed, will not include the general public, but will be geared to other trucking companies
and/or professional truckers. According to the applicant, truck and trailer repair will occur inside
the building. Hoovestol, Inc. is currently located in the Roadway Trucking building at 2950 Lone
Oak Circle. The applicant is -proposing to_ relocate the business to this site.
The existing 18,347 s.f. building will initially include about 815 s.f. of office space and 17,532
s.f. of warehouse, a portion of which will be used for minor truck and trailer repair. The
applicant indicates that the office area may be expanded to 1,650 s.f. in the future. An
underground fuel tank is also proposed to be located south of the building and east of the
employee parking area.
Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The proposed truck terminal use will be compatible with
other uses in this area of Eagandale Center Industrial Park, which includes several truck
terminals. Residential townhouse developments are located to the south across Yankee Doodle
Road. City code requires a 100 foot Landscaped setback adjacent to residential development to
ensure adequate buffering. The proposed landscape plan indicates several existing trees will be
retained within this setback and additional shrub clusters and evergreen trees will be planted. to
provide additional screening of the trailer parking from Yankee Doodle.
It is anticipated that much of the truck traffic will head north along Mike Collins since one of
Hoovestol's major operations is hauling mail. -However, some truck traffic will use Yankee
Doodle.
Setbacks - The existing building is setback 40 feet from Mike Collins Drive which meets code
requirements. The proposed new parking lot will be setback 20 feet from Mike Collins Drive,
100 feet from Yankee Doodle Road and 10 feet from the east property line which meets City
code.
Parking/Access - The site plan indicates 40 parking stalls for employee parking, 4 of which are
designated for future parking and will be located in the parking lot north of the building. City
code requires 35 parking stalls based on the proposed building usage of 815 s.f. office and 17,532
s.f. warehouse. If the office area is expanded to 1,650 s.f., 40 stalls will be required. The stalls
Planning Report - Hoovestol, Inc. •
October 24, 1995
Page 4
and drive aisles in the employee packing area meet code requirements for size and width. The
proposed site plan indicates space for up to 97 trucks and trailers. According to the applicant,
an average of 30-40 trucks and trailers would typically be parked on -site at any time; however,
there may occasionally be a need to park more trucks and trailers on -site.
The proposed site plan indicates two access points from Mike Collins Drive. One is an existing
driveway into the parking lot north of the building. The other is a 70 foot wide driveway, just
south of the employee parking area, that will be used by both employees and trucks. An existing
driveway south of the building will be removed.
Building_Materials - The applicant is not proposing any significant alterations to the existing
building exterior. A few of the overhead doors on the building have been boarded up. The
building siding has discolored in places. The developer should repaint or clean the building
exterior and replace or remove any non - functioning overhead doors and close the openings.
Tree Preservation - The Tree Preservation Plan is acceptable. The proposed plans indicate the
presence of 96 significant trees and 20,800 s.f. of significant woodlands. The proposed
development will result in removal of 27 significant trees and 5,700 s.f. of significant woodlands.
Because this is Less than the allowable 30% removal, mitigation is not required. A retaining wall
is proposed along the east edge of the truck/trailer parking area which will allow most of the
significant oak woodlands on -site to be preserved. Existing trees will also be retained along
about half of the property frontage on Yankee Doodle Road. The City Forester is recommending
approval of the Tree Preservation Plan as proposed.
Landscaping - Minor modifications are necessary to the .Landscape Plan. The proposed
landscape plan includes a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs. Several spruce trees
are proposed along the south edge of the parking lot to provide screening from Yankee Doodle.
Staff recommends these trees be spaced closer together and shrub clusters added to create a
denser screen in this location across from residential development. A combination of shrubs and
overstory trees will screen the west edge of the parking lot along Mike Collins Drive. A row
of shrubs is proposed along the building foundation.
Wetlands - There are no jurisdictional wetlands on the site that will be filled or drained by the
proposed development action.
Grading Minor modifications are necessary to the grading plan. Proposed grading on the site
will require some large cut sections (approx. 20 feet). The site generally slopes from northeast
to southwest. The preliminary grading plan shows a 5 foot high retaining wall along the east
edge of the site. The developer should submit detailed plans and specifications for the retaining
wall with the final grading plans.
Storm Drainage - Minor modifications are necessary to the storm drainage plan. The developer
Planning Report - Hoovestol, Inc.
October 24, 1995
Page 5
is proposing to route the storm water runoff to a proposed detention pond in the southwest
corner of the site. From the pond, the runoff will drain to existing storm sewer in Mike Collins
Drive and eventually north to Pond EP -2, which is classified as a Class V Nutrient Trap in the
City's Water Quality Management Plan. The proposed storm sewer within the site does not
provide for sufficient catch basins. The developer should revise the plans to add additional catch
basins in accordance with City standards. The storm drainage plan shall also be revised to
include an outlet skimmer in accordance with City standards at the outlet of the detention pond.
Water Ouality - The proposed expansion of the existing facility will increase the runoff volume
and pollutant load exported from this site. Runoff from the site discharges to Pond EP -2. Pond
EP -2 is within the Borchert Ingersoll property recently acquired by the City for development of
North Park. As such, the water quality classification of the pond will likely be changed to a
recreational designation such as indirect contact recreation. As such, protection of water quality
in this water body is important.
To mitigate off -site impacts to water quality in, Pond EP -2, staff is recommending that the
developer incorporate a single cell detention basin on the site to treat runoff prior to discharge
off -site. The pond must have a wet volume and average depth at normal water level of .4 ac -ft.
and 2.5 feet, respectively. The plans will need some modification to meet these design
requirements.
Utilities - The existing building on site is presently connected to City sanitary sewer and water
services. No additional sanitary sewer or water services are needed within the development.
Easements/Rights of Way/Perrimits - As part of the reconstruction of Yankee Doodle Road
(Dakota County 28), Dakota County is in the process of obtaining an additional 25 feet of right-
of-way along Yankee Doodle Road at the southern edge of this property. The plans submitted
reflect the wider right-cif-way.
Parks and Recreation - Parks dedication has been fulfilled for this property, however, a cash
dedication for trails is required.
SUMMARY /CONCLUSION
The applicant is proposing to combine Lots 17 -24 of Eagandale Center Industrial Park No. 4 to
accommodate a truck leasing (terminal) operation. The applicant also intends to perform minor
repairs on trucks and trailers and occasionally sell them. An underground fuel storage tank is
also proposed to be located on the site.
The proposed truck terminal use and secondary sales and service will be compatible with existing
and future uses in this area of Eagandale Center Industrial Park. With the modifications
recommended by staff, the required setbacks, proposed landscaping and tree preservation should

E. J. Van Overbeke, City Clerk
Advisory Planning Commission
City of Eagan
Dear Clerk Overbeke:
At our last Wescott Square Homeowner's Association Board of
Directors Meeting, we discussed our receipt of the notice of a public
hearing pursuant to the application of Hoovestol, Inc. for a
conditional use permit to allow underground fuel storage and
dispensing, etc. As the Board of Directors representing Wescott
Square Homeowners we want to go on record as opposing the
granting of this conditional use permit. As a residential community
we are already impacted by the close proximity of a hazardous waste
site, compost site, and multiple industrial businesses. We do not
believe it would be in the best interest of this community to support
more industrial development, particularly with underground fuel
storage. We are also concerned about increased business traffic at an
unmarked intersection which is already difficult to enter during peak
travel times. I look forward to talking with you further to express
the concerns of our association at the public hearing.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth BJ La`r on, President
Wescott Square Homeowners Association

Chairman Mark Miller
Advisory Planning Commission
City of Eagan
Dear Chair Miller:
I am writing after my appearance before the Advisory Planning Commission
tonight at the public hearing regarding the request for two conditional use
permits to Hoovestol, Inc. I welcomed and sought the opportunity to represent
the Wescott Square Homeowners Board of Directors at this public hearing on
an important matter that concerns our 23 unit development. Listening to the
response the homeowners who appeared before us received and the concern
that was expressed for their opposition to the permit approval, as evidenced by
a "no" vote by at least one commission member on their behalf, I hoped for
similiar consideration and commission support for our concerns.
However I was surprised by the commission's sudden action without being
granted the opportunity to indicate our satisfaction or dissatisfaction as had
been done with the homeowners before us. On behalf of the Wescott Square
Homeowners Association Board of Directors, I had prepared a letter of
opposition to present but was only given the one opportunity to ask clarifying
questions and indicate our specific concerns.
I am now enclosing a copy of the original letter and will be contacting our
area homeowners about the proposed business relocation and expansion in our
area and the results of this public hearing. My regret about this public
hearing is that I came with high hopes of being heard, saw this happen with
the homeowners before me, and felt short - changed when it came to my time
and our board of directors concerns. I would like to receive a response from
you to this letter and I will be passing on the information to our area
homeowners. We will have representation at the City Council meeting on
Monday November 6th to voice again our concerns.
Sincerely,

Agenda Information Memo
November 6, 1995 Eagan City Council Meeting
C. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - MINNESOTA COACHES
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
► To approve or deny a Conditional Use Permit to allow Minnesota Coaches outdoor
storage of up to 22 buses and bus repair service within the ProStop building located at
2815 Highway 55 on parts of Lots 6 and 7, Robert O'Neill Homestead Addition (P.I.D.
#10- 53320- 072 -00) subject to the four conditions listed in the Advisory Planning
Commission minutes.
FACTS:
► Minnesota Coaches is requesting approval to allow them to occupy approximately one -third
of the ProStop building for bus maintenance activities and outdoor storage of up to 22
buses. The site has operated for many years as it does today and the proposed use will not
alter the existing character or function of' the site.
► The Robert O'Neill Homestead subdivision was platted in 1904. The subject site is part of
the former McKee Trucking operation which dates back at least 40 years. The site is
relatively flat, largely surfaced with gravel, and does not contain a storm sewer system or
any concrete curb and gutter. Storm water runoff drains over land onto adjacent property.
► The 15 -acre site contains three principle buildings with three separate. uses on a single lot:
Highway Sales (semi -truck sales and leasing); ProStop (truck repair); and Kane Transport.
► Atlas of Minnesota Inc. (which owns Dart Transit, ProStop, and Highway Sales) purchased
this site in 1994. City staff recently met with the property owner to discuss the issues
regarding the existing site conditions and long range development plans for the entire 15-
acre site.
► Because Atlas has not formulated a long -range development plan for this site, it is not
possible to determine how intensely the site will be developed. Therefore, it may be
premature to require the entire site to be upgraded to current City standards at this time.
Staff is suggesting a different approach that would be to require the property owner to
submit to the City an overall conceptual site development plan that will define potential
development and/or expansion areas and a schedule for site improvements.
► At their regular meeting of October 24, 1995, the Advisory Planning Commission
recommended approval of this Conditional Use Permit subject to the four conditions listed
in the staff report.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - MINNESOTA COACHES
Chairman Miller opened the next public hearing of the evening regarding a
Conditional Use Permit to allow outdoor storage of 22 buses and repair service for buses
on property platted as part of Lots 6 and 7, of The Robert O 'Neill Homestead (P.I.D. #10-
53320-072-00), located on the south side of Highway 55, west of Highway 149, in the
SE1/4 of Section 2.
Senior Planner Ridley introduced this item. Mr. Ridley highlighted the information
presented in the City staffs planning report dated October 5, 1995. Mr. Ridley noted the
background, the existing conditions and the surrounding uses of the subject property. Mr.
Ridley further outlined the City staffs evaluation of the applicant's request noting that the
proposed use will not alter the existing character or function of the site. Mr. Ridley
further noted that the site contains three principle buildings associated with three separate
uses on a single lot. Mr. Ridley further noted that the applicant acknowledges that there
are City - required site improvements necessary to bring the site in conformance with

Re: Support of Minnesota Coaches'
Special Use Permit Application
Dear Sir or Madam:
This letter is submitted in support of our tenant's, Minnesota Coaches, special use permit application.
It spells out the over $600,000 we have spent upgrading and modernizing this property since we bought it last
Yom.
Atlas has spent well over $600,000 in large scale upgrading of the lot and buildings, as well as
spending time and money to eliminate environmental problems on the site.
We cleaned up and organized the entire lot, landscaped, graded and have done extensive asphalting.
Atlas also has painted, upgraded and modernized the buildings. We fixed the air conditioning and
heating systems, installed good - looking, high efficency windows, modernized the offices, and installed safe,
adequate, modern lighting and bathrooms. Safe, good - looking, new doors were installed in the shop. The
buildings were strengthened structurally and the roofs replaced and repaired. We also installed a safe, modern
stairs and totally updated the electricity — all according to code. Sanitary sewers were also installed.
Atlas has also spent money eliminating environmental problems on the site. The old, inadequate shop
drainage system has been sealed off and eliminated. An old "dump" has been removed according to
environmental standards. The extensive asphalting also adds to the environmental protection.
We know Minnesota Coaches is a reputable company. They have already spent money modernizing
and upgrading their part of our building and lot and plan to spend more.
In sum, we support Minnesota Coaches' application. As you know, we have been committed to
growth in Eagan since we came here in 1988 and Minnesota Coaches' use is part of the currently ongoing and
continuing improvement of our property as we continue to utilize it. Please call me if you have any questions
or concerns. Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
ATLAS OF MINNESOTA, INC.

SUMMARY OF REOUEST
Minnesota Coaches, Inc. is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow outdoor
storage of 22 buses and repair service for buses on property platted as parts of Lot 6 and 7, The
Robert O'neill Homestead (PID# 10- 53320- 072 -00) located on the south side of Highway 55, west
of Highway 149 in the SE 1/4 of Section 2.
AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW
City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subd. 4, C states: The Planning Commission shall recommend
a conditional use permit and the Council shall issue such conditional use permits only if it finds that
such use at the proposed location:
A. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare f the
neighborhood or the City.
B. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific objectives of the Comprehensive
Plan and City Code provisions.
C. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible in appearance
with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the
essential character of that area, nor substantially diminish or impair property values within
the neighborhood.
D. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police
and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools.
(6e12-
Planning Report - Mn Coaches CUP
October 24, 1995
Paget
E. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation
that will be hazardous or detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because
of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
F. Will have vehicular ingress and egress to the property which does not create traffic
congestion or interfere with traffic on surrounding public streets.
G. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of
major importance.
On November 19, 1991, the City Council adopted the following Standards for Outdoor Storage in
all Zoning Districts:
a. Outdoor storage items shall be placed within an enclosure.
b. All such enclosures shall be attached to the principal building except in the Limited
Industrial District.
c. The enclosure shall be made of material suitable to the building and the items to be stored.
d. The enclosure shall not encroach into any established front building setback area or other
required setbacks.
e. The enclosure shall not interfere with any pedestrian or vehicular movement.
f. The items to be stored shall not exceed the height of the enclosure.
g. The display area shall not take up required parking spaces or landscaping areas.
h. The display area shall be surfaced with concrete or an approved equivalent to control dust and
erosion. The surface shall be properly maintained to prevent deterioration.
i. The square footage of outdoor display areas shall be included in the calculation of required
off -street parking for the principal use of the property.
Although the Minnesota Coaches request cannot meet each of these standards, the intent of these
requirements appears to be met.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The Robert O'Neill Homestead was platted in 1904. The subject site is part of the former McKee
Trucking operation and has been owned and used by a number of companies since McKee. The
69 3
Planning Report - Mn Coaches CUP
October 24, 1995
Page3
McKee trucking operation dates back at least 40 years. In 1992, City staff informed a representative
f Howard Properties that a subdivision would be necessary in order to sell one of the three buildings
on the subject site.
Howard Properties submitted a Preliminary Subdivision application to subdivide this property in
December, 1992. After reviewing the application submittal and performing field inspections to
evaluate site conditions, City staff informed the applicant of a number of site improvements that
would be necessary to bring the site into compliance with City standards in effect at that time. The
applicant formally withdrew the subdivision request in May, 1993; stating financial concerns as the
reason.
As of early 1993, the property had been the subject of a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency soils
contamination cleanup which was largely mitigated, but not yet complete and had not been subject
to any parks or trails dedication or made provision for water quality requirements in the past.
Atlas of Minnesota, Inc. (which owns Dart Transit, ProStop, and Highway Sales) purchased the site
in 1994. City staff recently met with the property owner to discuss the issues regarding existing site
conditions and long range development plans for the entire 15 acre site. In addition to purchasing
the property last year, Atlas has invested a substantial amount of money on improvements to the site
(see attached letter). At this time, Atlas has not formulated a long range plan for the site.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The approximately 15 acre site contains three principal buildings associated with three separate uses
on the single lot. There are also several pollution monitoring wells on the northwestern portion of
the site that will impact future development. The site is relatively flat, largely surfaced with gravel,
and does not contain a storm sewer system or any concrete curb & gutter. Storm water run off
drains overland onto adjacent properties.
Although there are three different uses on this site, the 15 acre parcel is under - utilized compared to
typical industrial development. Large gravel surfaced areas of the site are not being used for parking,
storage, or staging purposes.
A single access to the site is provided in the northwestern comer of the property via a private
ingress/egress easement over the adjacent property to the west. The site contains three principal
buildings with three separate uses: Highway Sales (semi truck sales and leasing), ProStop Truck
Repair, and Kane Transport. All of the existing uses on the site (truck sales and service and truck
terminals) are listed as Conditional Uses in the Limited Industrial Zoning District. The City has no
records indicating any Conditional Use Permits were ever applied for or granted for this site.
The site is located along the south side of Highway 55. The opening of the reconstructed Mendota
Bridge last fall has resulted in a significant amount of traffic traveling on this highway corridor
/6 V
Planning Report - Mn Coaches CUP
October 24, 1995
Page 4
through Eagan. Many of the properties located along either side of the highway were developed at
least 40 years ago. Development includes a mixture of uses including single family homes, motels,
truck terminals, and warehouses. This area is in a state of transition that includes private interest in
developing raw land in the area southwest of Interstate 494 and west of Highway 149 and the City's
public interest in razing some dilapidated buildings no longer in use on the north side of Highway
55 that present health and safety concerns (Airliner and Spruce motels).
Because development in this area occurred a number of years ago, the existing commercial and
industrial development generally does not meet current City development standards for paving,
concrete curb & gutter, storm sewer, landscaping, and water quality treatment.
SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan
designations surround the subject property:
North - Spruce & Airliner Motels/SF residential; zoned PD and designated Commercial PD.
South - RR spur line/Villaume Industries; zoned and designated Industrial.
East - Vacant/Brown Mpls. Tank; zoned and designated Industrial.
West - B.K. McKee, Inc./McKee Enterprises; zoned and designated Industrial.
EVALUATION OF REQUEST
Although the Minnesota Coaches request pertains only to a small portion of the 15 acre site, a review
of the entire site is warranted because the single site contains three principal buildings associated
with three separate uses. The City Code allows only one principal building per lot unless the
property is zoned Planned Development.
The property owner is aware that there are City required site improvements necessary to bring the
site in conformance with current standards. This report will itemize all of the substandard site
conditions that exist today; however, the most logical approach to. determining what site upgrades
should take place, and when, should be based on Atlas' ultimate development plan of the site.
Compatibility with Surrounding Area - Minnesota Coaches is requesting approval to allow them to
occupy approximately 1/3 of the ProStop building for bus maintenance activities and outdoor storage
of up to 22 buses. The site has operated for many years as it does today and the proposed use will
not alter the existing character or function of the site.
t - The existing parcel is approximately 15 acres in size.
Setbacks - All of the buildings meet setback requirements from the site boundary; however, not all
of the existing parking and drive aisle setbacks are met from the north and south property lines.
Parking - As mentioned previously, the current use of the site is not very intense and there is ample
Planning Report - Mn Coaches CUP
October 24, 1995
Page 5
space available for truck, trailer, and employee parking.
Landscaping - The site does not contain any landscaping and the applicant has not submitted a
Landscape Plan. A Landscape Plan should be submitted as part of the ultimate development plan.
Grading/Wetlands - There is no grading proposed as part of this conditional use and there are no
wetlands on site.
Storm Drainage/Water Ouality Most of the storm water runoff from the site drains overland onto
adjacent properties on all four sides. This drainage pattern has caused some erosion problems on the
warehouse property to the west, the rail road r-o -w to the south, and Highway 55 to the north.
Portions of the 15 acre site. are paved while the remainder has a gravel surface. The gravel portions
of the site also show signs of erosion which has caused extensive potholes to form.
The entire site should ultimately be upgraded to City standards to provide landscaping and to
eliminate erosion caused by overland drainage. It may be appropriate, during the interim period
between now and future site development, for Atlas to convert unused gravel surfaced portions of
the site to grass cover. This will minimize site runoff and potential erosion.
Because there are no 'high class' water bodies in the vicinity of this site, the Water Resource
Coordinator is not recommending on site ponding to treat the runoff.
Utilities - Each of the existing buildings are connected to City sanitary sewer and water; however,
watermain should be extended to the southern portion of the site to provide proper hydrant access
to the Kane Transport and ProStop buildings.
Access - A single access to the site is provided in the northwestern corner of the property via a
private ingress /egress easement.
Tree Preservation - There are no trees on the site.

The site is located along Eagan's Highway 55 corridor and has operated for many years as it does
today. The proposed use will not alter the 'existing character or function of the site. While the
proposed use is consistent with existing and past uses on this site and generally compatible with
surrounding land uses, a number of site improvement issues are raised in this report.
Planning Report - Mn C aches CUP
October 24, 1995
Page 6
Site Improvement
In addition to the site's substandard physical conditions, the property should either be subdivided to
create separate parcels for each of the three buildings and their necessary parking and staging areas
or the property owner should propose a zoning to Planned Development which can accommodate
multiple principal uses on a single lot.
The property was platted over ninety years ago and the buildings on site are approximately forty
years old. Although some portions of the site have been paved, large areas of the site have a gravel
surface. Bringing the 15 acre site into conformance with current City standards is a large
redevelopment task that will require a substantial economic commitment from the property owner.
The City Council has generally stated that development standards should be uniform throughout the
City; however, Council has also indicated a willingness to modify standards in some instances
involving redevelopment, and allow for phased improvements to achieve compliance.
The property owner has not formulated a long range development plan for the site. Because it is not
possible to determine how intensely the site will be used, it is premature to require the entire site to
be upgraded to current City standards at this tithe. A more reasonable approach would be to require
the property owner to submit to the City, an overall conceptual site development plan that will define
potential development and/or expansion areas and a schedule for site improvements.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED

D. FINAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT - XPRESS LUBE
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To approve or deny a Final Planned Development to allow a quick oil change facility on Lot
6, Block 1, Thomas Lake Center, in the Blackhawk Park Planned Development subject to the five
(5) conditions recommended by the Advisory Planning Commission.
FACTS:
► The Final Planned Development for Lot 6, Block 1, Thomas Lake Center will include a 3-
bay, 2100 s.f. quick oil change facility and a 14 stall parking lot, landscaping, signage,
lighting and building materials as shown on plans submitted.
► The proposed oil change facility is similar in intensity to surrounding uses and should not
generate any more traffic than the existing Texaco station or other businesses in Thomas
Lake Shopping Center.
► The developer intends to incorporate existing landscaping along Thomas Center Drive into
the proposed landscape scheme which provides parking lot screening and building foundation
plantings.
► The building exterior will consist of brick veneer (to match the Texaco station) and a rock
faced block foundation. A black sign band will wrap around the top of the building and
vertical panels of red finished aluminum will be located at the building entrances on the
north and south facades. This color scheme coordinates with Texaco.

Planning Report - Xpress Lube
October 24, 1995

BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The original planned development proposal for the 600 acre Blackhawk Park PD area was
submitted to the City in 1972 as "Eagan 500 ". The Blackhawk Park Planned Development
Agreement was executed in June 1977 for a 15 year term, expiring in June 1992. Both
designated this site -for commercial development (CSC - Community Shopping Center). No
previous development has occurred on this lot. To date, no action has been taken to formally
terminate the Planned Development.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is quite flat and appears to have been previously graded. Some perimeter landscaping
was installed along Thomas Center Drive. The lot is just north of the Texaco station and just
west of Thomas Lake Shopping Center (Snyder Drug Store). Existing drive aisles providing
access to the shopping center parking lot from Thomas Center Drive, abut the south and east
property lines of the lot.
SURROUNDING USES
The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the
subject property:
North - Lifetime Fitness; zoned PD; guided CSC (Community Shopping Center)
South - Texaco station; zoned PD (Planned Development); guided CSC
East - Thomas Lake Shopping Center; zoned PD; guided CSC
West - undeveloped; zoned PD; guided CSC
EVALUATION OF REOUEST
If approved, the proposed site plan will constitute the Final Planned Development for Lot 6,
Block 1, Thomas Lake Center (Blackhawk Park PD), which requires the developer to submit the
following plans:
* Final Site Plan
* Final Building Elevations and Sign Plan
* Final Landscape Plan
* Final Lighting Plan
Because this property has already been platted, the proposed site plan will achieve Final Planned
Development status when it has been reviewed by the Advisory Planning Commission and
approved by the City Council and the Final Planned Development Agreement has been: executed.

Planning Report - Xpress Lube
October 24, 1995
Page 3
Proposed Use - The developer is proposing to construct an Xpress Lube quick oil change facility
on this property. The 2100 s.f. facility will consist of three service bays and a 650 s.f.
office/waiting area. Xpress Lube is a subsidiary of Texaco.
Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The proposed quick oil change facility meets the
automobile service station standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance, including the requirements
that access shall orient toward the interior of the shopping center and not directly from periperhal
streets. The objective in reviewing conditional uses is to ensure compatibility in terms of
intensity of use, traffic volume and other impacts. The proposed oil change facility is similar
in intensity to surrounding uses and should not generate any more traffic than the existing Texaco
station or other businesses in Thomas Lake Shopping Center.
Setbacks - All building and parking setbacks meet or exceed code requirements (30' and 20' or
5', respectively). - --
Parking/Access - City code requires 14 parking spaces based on a retail rate of 1 space per 150
s.f. of building. The proposed site plan includes 14 parking spaces. All stalls and drive aisles
meet code requirements for length and width (10'x18' and 24', respectively).
Access to the site will be from the existing internal service drive for the shopping center abutting
the east and south edges of the lot. As proposed on the site plan, patrons would enter the facility
from the east drive aisle and exit from the service bays to the south. Entrances to the site are
proposed to align with other existing entrances off the internal drive aisle. The east entry will
line up with the service drive aisle north of Thomas Lake Shopping Center and the south exit will
line up with the Texaco entrance.
Landscape Plan - The developer intends to utilize the existing landscaping along Thomas Center
Drive which consists of fairly mature shrub clusters, ornamental trees and evergreens. A few
existing shrubs will be removed to accommodate the service bay access drive. The existing
landscaping will be supplemented with planting around the interior lot perimeter to screen the
parking and service bays, and planting around the building entrance. A large open area to the east
of the building will be sodded. A minimal amount of landscaping is proposed in this area as it
is intended for potential building expansion. Given limited space, it appears that the building
could only be expanded to add one additional service by. This would require an additional 3
_ parking stalls, which could be provided directly east of the building. Staff notes that a building
expansion would also require an amendment to the Final Planned Development for this site.
An irrigation system exists in the boulevard. The developer intends to install a separate system
to irrigate the landscaping and green areas on this site.
$uilding Materials - The proposed building exterior will consist of brick veneer to match the
brick on Texaco and a rock faced block foundation. A 3' -8" black finished aluminum facia/sign
/7t
Planning Report - Xpress Lube
October 24, 1995
Page 4
band will wrap around the top of the building. Vertical panels of red finished aluminum will be
located at the building entrances on the north and south facades. Doors on the service bays will
consist of safety glass.
Trash/Recycling Enclosure - The trash enclosure is proposed to be attached to the north side
.of the building. It will be finished with the same brick veneer and block used on the main
building.
Signage - The applicant 'is proposing building, signage on the north, west and south facades.
City code only allows building signage on facades facing a public street; in this case, the north
and west facades. The applicant is requesting a deviation from the sign code to allow signage
on the south facade which faces the internal access drive. The proposed building signage ranges
in size from 40 to 53 square feet. This is well below the 96 -224 s.f. allowed by code. Sign
letters will be red and gold on the black background, similar to Texaco.
The applicant is also proposing a monument sign to be located in the south -east corner of the lot.
The proposed sign will be 4' -2" tall and 6' -8" wide (27.7 s.f.). The sign face will be 1' -6" wide
by 6' -8" long (10 s.f.). The base of the sign is proposed to be brick and rock faced block to
match the building. Evergreen shrubs will surround the sign base. In addition, two directional
(entry/exit only) signs, 10" x 1' -6" (1.3 s.f.) in size, are proposed at the driveway entrances to the
site. All signs must be setback 10 feet from property lines.
adin - The grading plan submitted is acceptable. A limited amount of grading will be
necessary to prepare the site for development. .
Storm Drainage - The storm drainage plan submitted is acceptable. Storm water runoff will be
conveyed through existing storm sewer along the east edge of the site which eventually drains
to Pond BP -13. Pond BP -13 is classified as a Class 5 Nutrient Trap.
Water Ouality/Wetlands - This property was platted prior to the effective date of the water
quality ordinance and is therefore not subject to on -site ponding or cash dedication requirements.
There are no jurisdictional wetlands within the site.
Utilities - The utility plan submitted is acceptable with some modifications. A sanitary sewer
service stub of sufficient size, depth and capacity was provided to the site as part of the Thomas
Center Drive project. However, the water service stubbed to The site is not of sufficient size.
The developer shall be required to cap and abandon this existing service and construct water
service to the development in accordance with City standards.
Park_Dedication - Park dedication has been fulfilled for this PD. The APRNRC recommended
a cash dedication for trails.

SUMMARY /CONCLUSION
The proposed quick oil change facility is similar in intensity as the existing Texaco station. The
proposed landscaping, brick and block building materials and discrete signage are compatible
with the adjacent Texaco and Thomas Lake Shopping Center. The proposed development meets
the standards for automobile service stations identified in the zoning ordinance.
The applicant is requesting a deviation from the Sign Code to allow a sign on the south facade,
which faces Texaco, but not a public street. The overall signage proposed for this development
is considerably less than allowed by code.

a quick oil change facility on Lot 6, Block 1, Thomas Lake Center subject to the following
conditions:
1. The Final Planned Development includes a 3 -bay, 2100 s.f. quick oil change facility, 14
parking spaces, landscaping, signage, lighting and building materials as shown on plans

MEMO

MEMO TO: Mayor Egan and City Council Members
THOU: Peggy A. Reichert, Community Development Director
FROM: Lisa J. Freese, Senior Planner
DATE: November 2, 1995
SUBJECT: E. Metropolitan Livable Communities Program
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
The Metropolitan Livable Communities Act was passed by the Minnesota Legislature
during the last legislative session. The Act establishes a Metropolitan Livable
Communities Fund which consists of a Tax Base Revitalization Account; a Livable
Communities Demonstration Account; and a Local Housing Incentives Account. Cities
are not required to participate in the programs established by this act, but there are
incentives and funding that could be available to those who participate.
The Act established a formula for an "Affordable and Life Cycle Housing Opportunities
Amount" (ALOHA amount). This ALOHA amount, which is determined annually, is the
dollar amount that each participating City must spend to create affordable and Iife-
cycle housing or to maintain existing affordable and Iifecycle housing. This ALOHA
amount can be from any funding source available to the City, not just property taxes.
In the initial year of the program (1996) an ALOHA amount is not required. In 1997,
the City of Eagan's estimated amount is $97,063. To illustrate how Eagan might
satisfy this requirement, if CDBG funding remains constant in the future, the City could
utilize all of its CDBG funds towards affordable and Iifecycle housing efforts as its
ALOHA contribution.
The Metropolitan Council is asking all communities to decide by November 15, 1995 if
they wish to participate in the program. A resolution must be passed by the City
Council if Eagan wants to participate. To meet that deadline the City Council will need
to take action by the November 6, 1995 regular meeting. A draft resolution is included
in the packet.
Each participating community will need to negotiate affordable and Iifecycle housing
goals for the period from 1996 to 2010. The Metropolitan Council has developed
benchmark indicators for communities of similar location and stage of development.
The program asks Cities to make their best effort, given market conditions and
Livable Communities Memo
Page 2
resource availability, to remain within or make progress towards the benchmarks. All
communities electing to participate in the program are to adopt goals in the format of a
housing agreement by December 14 or 15, 1995. The participating Cities will need to
develop an action plan by June 30, 1996.
EXPLANATION OF BENCHMARKS
The Metropolitan Councils uses benchmarks in an attempt to measure affordability,
Iifecycle housing and density. "Affordable" housing is defined as housing that costs no
more that 30 percent of a family's income. For owner occupied housing, this income
amount is 80 percent of median. In 1994 it would be a home costing approximately
$115,000. The City of Eagan has 9,805 homes or 62 percent of it's owner occupied
units that meet this test. For rental housing, this income amount is 50 percent of
median. In 1990, this was approximately $500 per month and Eagan had 1,086 units
or 22 percent of the total number of rental units that met this criteria. Eagan's index is
below the affordability benchmarks for both ownership and rental housing.
"Life cycle" housing is considered housing that is available for people at all stages of
their lives, offering a choice and variety of housing types and cost to accommodate
people's changing needs and preferences as their incomes and circumstances
change. The benchmarks that the Metropolitan Council is using to measure Life Cycle
housing include the percentage of the city's housing stock that is non - single family
detached and the owner /renter mix of the entire housing stock. Eagan's index of 46
percent non - single family detached housing is considerably higher than the housing
type benchmark range of 35 to 38 percent. The City's homeowner rate (66 percent) is
lower than the benchmark range of 72 to 75 percent and the renter rate (34 percent) is
higher than the benchmark range of 25 to 28 percent.
Eagan's density index for both single family and multifamily housing is slightly below
the benchmark range. For single family the City index is 1.8 units per acre with the
benchmark range of 1.9 to 2.1 .units per acre. For multifamily the City index is 9 units
per acre with a benchmark of 10 units per acre. The data used to develop this
particular index was developed by the Metropolitan Council with no local review.
PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION
The Planning Commission has considered the Livable Communities program at their
October workshop and passed a resolution of support at their October 24 regular
meeting. They will be reviewing principles and goals for the City at the November 28
regular meeting.
ACTION TO CONSIDER
Approval of a Resolution electing to participate in the Local Housing Incentives
Account program under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act.

MEMO
— city of eagan
TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: PEGGY A. REICHERT, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: NOVEMBER 3, 1995
SUBJECT: REGISTER RESALE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The City of Eagan is being asked to consider providing financial assistance to Register
Resale, an Eagan based corporation desiring to consolidate its existing operations in a
new 40,000 sq. ft. office /warehouse production facility to be located on Trapp Road in the
Eagandale Industrial Park. The City's financial assistance would be provided through
participation in the business development financing program of the St. Paul Port Authority.
Essentially, Register Resale is proposing to construct a $1.5 million facility. They are
seeking 90% financing through Eastern Heights Bank. The Port Authority and the City
would be guaranteeing a portion of that loan. The City's guarantee would be a maximum
10 %, or $135,000, whichever is Tess. The City's guarantee will run for the first five years
of the fifteen year loan.
ISSUES
In evaluating this type of financial assistance, there are two basic issues for the Council
to consider. The first issue is whether the City should be involved in this type of financial
assistance in any instance. The second issue is whether this particular development
proposal is a sound investment for the City.
Regarding the general question of City financial support of this nature, the City Council
discussed the pros and cons at its last Council meeting. The argument against City
participation includes basic philosophy that it is an inappropriate role for City government.
The argument in favor tends to be that, for certain types of businesses that are already
located here in Eagan, the City needs to participate to encourage business retention and
xpansion; without such incentives, good businesses will be attracted by necessity to
other municipalities offering greater incentives.
If the Council determines that provision of this type of financial assistance is appropriate
under some circumstances, the question then is whether the Register R sale project is
such a circumstance. To provide additional information for the Council to consider, we
have asked Kirk Duholm of the City's Economic Development Commission to review the
financial health of Register Resale. A memorandum from Mr. Duholm is enclosed.
Essentially, he reports that the company is very fast growing and looks very solid.
Mr. Duholm also notes that this guarantee is unsecured. The Eastern Heights Bank and
St. Paul Port Authority have the assets of the building as collateral, but the City does not
participate in the security position. Any recourse back to Register Resale would be
unsecured and subordinate to claims by the bank and the Port Authority; however, based
on the history of this company, the risk of default looks minimal. In addition, the City
would be benefitting from the taxes generated over the course of the loan. It is estimated
that if the City were to lose the entire $135,000, this would be recovered by about eight
years of tax revenues.
Another consideration is what will happen if this financial assistance is not provided to
Register Resale. A letter from the President, Mr. David Hoeffel, is enclosed which speaks
to this issue. Essentially, without this financial assistance, the company will only be able
to secure 70% financing. At that level, the project is unlikely to proceed and the company
will need to seek other alternatives likely in other communities. The company is
extremely interested in staying here in Eagan which has been its home base from
inception, but does feel that it needs the 90% financing to carry out that program. Staff
would note that Register Resale is the type of manufacturing company that provides both
the type of jobs and tax base attractive to municipalities.
We have also asked the City Attorneys Office to review the participation agreements; a
memorandum from Mike Dougherty is enclosed. We are recommending that the City
participation be conditioned on a proviso that the loan agreement cannot be renegotiated
during the five years of the City's guarantee and that the building itself remain as
collateral for this loan only and not become attached as collateral to other loans of the
corporation or limited partnership.
SUMMARY
In summary, this type of financial assistance is new for the City of Eagan, as well as the
St. Paul Port Authority. If the Council believes that some minimal financial assistance is
appropriate in some cases to support the retention and expansion of Eagan businesses,
the Register Resale project would seem to fit that case. The company appears to be
financially sound, is in a growth industry, and has a good growth record.

Again, thank you for your time -and additional consideration of R2
Corporation.
I would like to provide some additional information and comments
regarding our proposed building and expansion project.
Simply put, R2 Corporation (R2) needs the City of Eagan's participation
in the project for it to materialize. With the City of Eagan's limited
participation R2 will be in a position to move forward and expand our
business within the City.
Furthermore, it enables both R2 and the City of Eagan to participate in
a new and innovative partnership which clearly sends a positive
message to the Eagan business community: the City of Eagan's
acknowledgement and willingness to retain quality business and to foster
growth within Eagan.
As you are aware, R2 has been in Eagan for eight years. The site R2
intends to develop is a perfect fit for not only R2 but for Eagan. With
the five level office building to the west and warehousing -type projects
proposed to the east, the R2 facility is an ideal transition building.
Our intent is to build an aesthetically pleasing and professional
building, an asset to the area. While the land transaction is nearly
complete, closing will occur pending final financing decisions which
include the City's participation. - -
In the event the City elects not to provide the nominal participation
required for this project, the expansion is in real jeopardy. R2 will
Earning Your Business...Every Day
not be able to utilize this financing and as a result, will be forced to
reexamine other less desirable options.
However, with the City of Eagan's endorsement, R2 will be able to
expand our facilities, remain in Eagan, have additional capital available
for operational growth, offer greater employment opportunities and of
course provide tax revenues.
In summary, R2 looks forward to our future with extreme confidence
and optimism.. We trust we can rely on the City of Eagan to assist us
as we go forward.
My Best Regards,
David R. Hoeffel
President -R2 Corporation.

. SUBJECT: Register Resale Corporation
Port Authority Guaranty
You have requested that I review financial information on Register Resale Corporation and
offer my comments concerning their financial condition and the level of risk associated with
Eagan's guaranty to the Port Authority. Along with three and one half years of financial
statements you have also sent me a copy of the proposed documentation between Eagan
and the Port Authority.
Based on historic performance Register Resale appears to be very sound. Both revenues
and earnings have grown dramatically and are up again through eight months of this year.
This kind of growth requires retention of earnings to keep the balance sheet strong. So far
equity has grown from $688,000 in 1992 to $1,389,000 through August 1995. With the
projected growth to $25,000,000 in annual revenues by 1999, equity will have to continue
to grow by retention of earnings or other capital injections. This risk can be controlled by
loan covenants between the bank (Eastern Heights) and Register Resale. This loan
documentation was not provided for review.
The risk for the City of Eagan is-in the $135,000 guaranty to the Port Authority for five
years. This guaranty could be called if there is a default by Register Resale in their loan
with Eastern Heights Bank and the Port Authority. It should be noted that this is an
unsecured guaranty. The Bank and Port Authority have assets as collateral but the City
does not participate in this security position. Any recourse back to Register Resale would
be unsecured and subordinate to claims by the Bank and Port Authority.
In summary, Register Resale's future looks good based on their history. The risk for the
City is in a default over the next five years in Register Resale's loan. If there were a default
and call on the guaranty, there would very likely be no recovery.

MEMORANDUM
'1'O: Peggy A. Reichert, Community Development Director
FROM: Michael G. Dougherty, City Attorney
DATE: November 3, 1995
RE: City of Eagan and St. Paul Port Authority Joint Powers Agreement
and Guarantee
Our File No. 206 -13576
1 have reviewed the proposed Resolution, Joint Powers Agreement and Guarantee
Agreement that was prepared by the St :Paul Port Authority. The proposed documents
correspond to a business development financing program that is initiated by the St. Paul
Port Authority. Under the proposed Agreement, a loan in the principal amount of
approximately $1,350,000.00 would be made by the Eastern Heights Bank to R2
Investments, LLP, a Limited liability partnership. The loan proceeds would be used to
construct a 40,000 square -foot facility which would be located at Trapp Road in
Eagandale Office Park. The Port Authority would participate in the financing in the
approximate amount of $375,000.00 and the City would guarantee, for a period of five
years, an amount equal to the lesser of $135,000.00 or 10% of the principal amount
outstanding under the loan.
The following are my comments with regard to the proposed documents.
1. The loan documents and related documents have not been produced and
should be reviewed by our office prior to execution;
2. The City is not receiving any formal security under the arrangement and is
simply a Guarantor of the lesser of $135,000.00 or 10% of the loan amount;
3. The proposed guaranty under Section 4 of the Joint Powers .Agreement
provides that the guaranty is triggered upon an "Event of Default" as
defined under the loan documents. This amount is payable over a period of
five years with interest at the rate of interest borne by the financing. We
need to review the loan documents to determine the definition of "Event of
Default." We should probably include language in the Joint Powers
Agreement that would provide for a cure period of 30 to 90 days before the
City's guaranty is triggered;

11- 3 -95 ; 1 :45PM ;
SEVERSON SHEL.DON-, 612 681 4300;# 3/ 3
4. With regard to the Guaranty Agreement, the Agreement itself is quite broad
and the City is essentially waiving any rights it may have to contcst the
Guaranty. In essence, it is an absolute and unconditional guarantee. In
addition, there is language in the Guarantee which allows the Bank to
restructure the loan amount without any prior notice to the City. In short,
the Bank could provide for interest only payments for a period of five years
thereby maintaining the City's guaranty at $135,000.00. I have left a
message with the Port Authority regarding this point.
5. With regard to the loan itself, language within the Agreement should restrict
the City's guarantee to only the Note, which should not be tied to any other
indebtedness.
6. Finally, the Resolution to be approved by the Council should be subject to
modifications to the loan-documents as deemed reasonably necessary by the
City Attorney and Mayor.
Please let me know if you would like anything further on this matter.

RE: CITY OF EAGAN AND SAINT PAUL PORT AUTHORITY
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FINANCING PROGRAM PARTNERSHIP
REGISTER RESALE PROJECT
Dear Peggy:
I want to thank you and Eagan's City Council Members for allowing the Saint
Paul Port Authority to present its Business Development Financing (BDF)
Program to the City Council this past Tuesday. Based on the discussion by the
City Council, it is my impression that the Program was generally well received
and some good policy issues raised. I would like to provide some general
information on those policy issues regarding economic development.
PROGRAM CONTEXT
In the range of government assistance to expanding companies, the City of
Eagan's participation in the BDF Program is minimal. For context, cities often
provide outright grants to qualifying businesses in the form of free land, grants,
and tax increment financing.
In contrast, using the BDF Program, businesses get a loan, not a grant. In
addition, the City of Eagan advances no funds, but provides a guarantee for five
years. Often, cities provide low interest loans where the difference between a
market interest rate and the low interest rate would be considered a grant. That
again is not the case here. With this guarantee structure, Eagan does not even
incur an interest expense on loaned funds.
ac-a-
Ms. Peggy Reichert
October 23, 1995
Page 2
THE PORT AUTHORITY IS SELECTIVE IN THE TYPES OF COMPANIES IT
ASSISTS
The Saint Paul Port Authority does not offer its BDF Program to any company.
The company must meet several hurdles in order to be considered for BDF
financing. We assure these criteria are met when we bring a project to an East
Metro Community for support. The Port Authority's criteria include:
• Quality building construction: metal sheds, "pole barns" and Butler buildings
are generally not allowed.
• Significant job creation relative to the building size: The Port Authority seeks
at least one job per 1,000 Sq. Ft. of building space.
• Living wage jQb Average wage rates should be $8.00 per hour or higher.
• Manufacturing or industrial business activity: Low density uses, such as
trucking companies, are not considered.
• Financial stability: Companies must demonstrate their financial stability
through a rigorous underwriting process, and the Port Authority shares the
financial information with the East Metro community for their own review as
well.
• Meet all local ordinances and requirements: The company must conform to
all City zoning and planning requirements.
PROPERTY TAX BENEFITS TO EAST METRO COMMUNITY
Although companies using the Port Authority's BDF Program outside of Saint
Paul are required to hire 30% of its new hires from the City of Saint Paul, 100%
of the property taxes created by the new project go to the local taxing
jurisdictions. Using Register Resale as an example, I estimate-that its proposed
building may generate about $80,000 per year in new taxes. This means that
the local jurisdictions would receive $400,000 over the first five years.

REGISTER RESALE PROJECT
Dear Peggy:
I want to provide you with additional information on the Register Resale project.
For your review, please find attached a letter from the Port Authority to Dennis
Falkum of Eastern Heights Bank providing the term sheet for financing the
Register Resale project. The loan agreement for this transaction will be drafted
after the project is approved, and the loan agreement will be provided to you as
soon as it becomes available. In addition, David Hoeffel, President of Register
Resale, has informed me that he will be providing to you additional information
on his financing relationship between Register Resale and the bank shortly.
I would also like to share with you some of the significant aspects of assisting
Register Resale in conjunction with the Port Authority's financing program:
The Qi y of Eagan_will receive additional tax base. Assuming the project
generates about $80,000 per year in new taxes (this is an assumption and is
not based upon a determination by Dakota County) and the City receives
20% of the taxes generated, the City would be fully repaid the amount of its
original guarantee in just over eight years, whether or not the guarantee is
drawn upon.
The guarantee decreases over time asjF a principal on the IQan_is repaid.

G. TRAPP POINT - PRIVATE ROAD VS PUBLIC RIGHT OF.WAY
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve/deny the request to accept Trapp Point as public
right -of -way. .
FACTS:
• In December of 1985, the City Council considered a preliminary plat application for the
Eagandale Office Park 3rd Addition which incorporated the cul-de -sac, Trapp Point.
• While the original application proposed Trapp Point to be a public right -of -way, in approving
the preliminary plat, the City Council required that the public cul- de-sac be eliminated and
replaced with a private street.
• In May, June, and November of 1986, the Council considered a request by the developer to
reconsider their previous condition of requiring Trapp Point to be a private drive. On
November 18, 1986, the City council voted in favor of removing the previous condition
allowing Trapp Point to be a public cul- de-sac with a condition that the developer enter into
an agreement providing for perpetual private maintenance of this proposed public cul -de -sac.
• The developer subsequently would not agree to the terms and conditions of the maintenance
agreement as prepared by the City and subsequently agreed to stay with the private street
designation: ; , �� £ y

.• . Dear Tom:
We recently worked on the sale of Lot 2, Block 1, Eagandale Office Park, 3rd Addition. In the
process I discovered that "Trapp Point ", a cul de sac off Trapp Road, is a private road.
We would like to grant, by easement, this road to the City of Eagan.
Tom, would you advise if this is acceptable and what you need to complete the transfer. Thank
you.
Yours truly,

Agenda Information Memo
November 6, 1995
A. ENFORCEMENT OF ON- STREET PARIUNG RESTRICTIONS
City staff periodically receives requests to temporarily "bag" No Parking signs on public
streets. These requests have ranged from school principals to accommodate overflow
parking from special school events (Grandparents Day, holiday parties, etc.), to apartment
managers performing parking lot maintenance (snow removal, striping, seal coating, etc.),
to businesses having special sale events which exceed the capacity of their off -street parking
lot.
While staff continues to try to be sensitive to the needs and concerns of these requests, it
is uncertain as to what authority staff has to temporarily not enforce Council ordered
parking restrictions. in certain circumstances, on -street parking could create a traffic
capacity reduction problem and /or safety concern.
Staff would like an opportunity to discuss this issue to try and determine a policy or at least
receive some direction from the Council. The most recent specific request has come from
Thomas Lake Elementary School requesting that the recently installed No Parking signs on
the west side of Thomas Lake Road be temporarily 'bagged" and not enforced for
November 22.
B. PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS IN PUBLIC RIGHT -OF -WAY POLICY
Presently, the City has a policy and ordinance that precludes the installation of any
improvement within public right -of -way without a permit. This applies to all private utilities
(gas, telephone, electric, etc.) to landscaping (trees, monuments, etc.) and irrigation systems.
With the issuance of this permit, the applicant acknowledges that their improvement is there
by City permit and it is their responsibility to remove, relocate, adjust, etc., these facilities
when necessitated by local road improvements.
However, many residential homeowners either are not aware of this policy or ignore it as
they install irrigation systems and landscaping improvements within the public right -of -way.
M we do our local street reconstruction program, very seldom are these irrigation systems
or landscaping improvements disturbed. However, when it becomes necessary, the
homeowners are informed that it is their responsibility to remove, protect, and /or relocate
these improvements at their expense. This is not well received by the affected homeowners
who feel that it should be considered part of the cost of the improvement. Most recently,
we have received several claims from the Oslund- Timberline Addition requesting
reimbursement from the City. The staff would like to review this issue with the City Council
to determine whether these claims should be paid or rejected.
