Attachments: (0) Agenda Information Memo June 16, 2015 Eagan City Council Meeting CONSENT AGENDA H. AUTHORIZE Submittal of Comments regarding Cedar Avenue/Red Line Implementation Plan Update Action to Be Considered: To authorize staff to submit comments to Dakota County regarding the Cedar Avenue/Red Line Implementation Plan Update (IPU) as presented. Facts: ➢ In cooperation with a number of agencies, including the Met Council, MnDOT, MVTA and area cities, Dakota County has undertaken an update of the Red Line Implementation Plan to anticipate improvements to stations and facilities along the corridor through 2040. • Staff has participated in the Technical Advisory Committee and elected officials have participated in a number of Policy Maker updates during the process. ➢ The IPU treats the construction of the new platform location in the freeway median at Cedar Grove Transit Station as a given, since it has been funded, is in the planning stage now and will be constructed in 2016. It includes potential future improvements including the construction of a parking garage at Cedar Grove and the implementation of a transit station at the Cedar Avenue -Cliff Road interchange as well. ➢ The background and analysis in the Update is substantial and individual projects will be subject to additional planning and analysis as they come forward. Staff is suggesting comments in three areas, so that the needs of riders and businesses along the Eagan portion of the corridor are appropriately served as those plans move forward. Those are that the City of Eagan: • Supports periodic future parking analyses for Eagan and northern Apple Valley, including consideration of a parking structure at the Cedar Grove Station. The current surface parking lot at Cedar Grove was configured in anticipation of up to two levels of structured parking at such time as demand would justify it. • Supports future consideration of alternatives to the "in-line" station design for the future Cliff Road Transit Station identified in the IPU. While it is the least expensive of the construction options, it will require all Red Line busses to leave the freeway and pass through the Cliff Road traffic signals adding delay to the system and causing it to function less like rail transit, which is key to increasing ridership. Future consideration of on-line shoulder platforms like those contemplated for the Palomino Station in Apple Valley or a center median platform like that being constructed at Cedar Grove would cause the Red Line to function more like rail transit. • Supports periodic marketing of attractions along the Red Line like the free ride Stop and Shop promotion related to the Twin Cities Premium Outlets. In addition, enhanced marketing of employee pass opportunities for businesses along the route would encourage use by those working within the corridor in addition to residents commuting to work beyond the corridor Attachments: The Red Line IPU can be accessed at www.cedartransitway.com/draft-ipu. Agenda Information Memo August 18, 2015 Eagan City Council Meeting CONSENT AGENDA I. Contract 15-16, Parkcliff Water Main Improvements Action To Be Considered: Receive the bids and award Contract 15-16 (Parkcliff Water Main Improvements) to Kusske Construction Company, for the base plus alternate bid in the amount of $143,646.00, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. Facts: • Contract 15-16 provides for the extension of water main from Dakota Path to existing water main on Parkridge Drive. This connection would improve water pressure, thereby eliminating the need for the individual booster pumps and add redundancy to the system in case of a water main break in the neighborhood. The proposed improvements also require the installation of two pressure equalization valves to maintain appropriate water pressure to twenty homes within the neighborhood. ➢ On May 19, 2015, the City Council approved Project 1134 and authorized the preparation of detailed plans and specifications, along with soliciting bids for an alternate water main construction method and the acquisition of easements, as necessary. ➢ The alternate bid provides for utilization of trenchless technology to install the water main to reduce the amount of disturbance and restoration along the common lot line between 4643 and 4647 Parkridge Drive. ➢ All easements necessary for construction of these improvements have been acquired from the impacted properties. ➢ On August 6, 2015, base and alternate bids were received for Contract 15-16. All bids have been reviewed for compliance with the bid specifications and accuracy on unit price extensions and summations. The low base and alternate bid of $143,646.00 from Kusske Construction Company has been reviewed by the Public Works Department and found to be in order for favorable Council action. ➢ The proposed contract award is 15% higher than the Engineer's Estimate. Staff has researched the reason for the higher cost and considered the potential of receiving lower bids if the bid is re -advertised at a different time of year. With the number of good, interested bidders and the bid prices for individual items, there is a limited likelihood for significantly lower bids if the contract were re -bid at a different time.

INTRODUCTION/SUMMARY Wyatt Sharing and Caring, LLC is proposing to develop approximately 33 acres in northeastern Eagan to a mix of light industrial uses that will promote commerce and employment. The proposed Gateway Business Park will be consistent with the City of Eagan Northeast Special Area Plan, which focuses future land use on jobs and non- residential uses. Under the City's Comprehensive Plan, large lot and low density residential areas in the northeast part of the City will be redeveloped to higher density commercial land uses. The Gateway Business Park will include three light industrial buildings that include supporting office space. These buildings will cover a total of 309,600 square feet. The development will include direct access to Highway 55 and Lone Oak Road (CSAH 26) for shipping and receiving. Parking will be provided for passenger vehicles and semi - trucks, and the development will include semi -truck loading docks and truck maneuvering areas. Stormwater management facilities will provide infiltration and treatment of runoff prior to discharge to wetlands. The project is proposed in Eagan's Northeast Special Planning area. It will be situated on a 32.985 -acre parcel that lies south of Lone Oak Road (CSAH 26), north of State Highway 55, and immediately west of the City of Inver Grove Heights. The project area falls in the NE 1/ of NE 1/ of Section 12, T27N, R23W, City of Eagan, Dakota County, Minnesota. Construction of light industrial facilities on the project site will require fill in three small (0.08 — 0.32 acre), isolated wetlands that had not been previously identified by the City of Eagan wetland inventory. The largest wetland on the site will be avoided. This wetland extends onto the Highway 55 right-of-way and the adjoining property in Inver Grove Heights. Filling the small isolated wetlands is unavoidable because they are located in the portion of the site best suited to development, the proposed development which adheres to the comprehensive plan requires relatively large level areas, and the topography of the site limits the flexibility of the project design. Construction of the Gateway Business Park will make it necessary to fill Wetlands A, B, and C, which cover a total of 22,924 square feet (0.5263 acre). The fill is proposed in wetland Types 2/5/1L/6; PEM1B/PUBx/PFO1A/PSS1B; Fresh wet meadow/Shallow open water (excavated)/Bottomland forest/Shrub carr wetland. 1 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application Onsite wetland replacement was considered and found to be impracticable due to topographic site constrains. Wetland impacts will be replaced through the purchase of 45,848 square feet (1.0525 acre) of wetland credit from the German Settlement Wetland Bank, which is located about 40 miles southwest of the wetland fill site. The wetland impact site and wetland bank are both located in Major Watershed 33 (Lower Minnesota River) and Wetland Bank Service Area 9. The wetland bank is located in Scott County. Major Watershed 19 (South Fork, Crow River) and Wetland Bank Service Area 7. The project team reviewed 13 wetland banks located within Major Watershed 33 and Wetland Bank Service Area 9. None of the closer wetland banks had sufficient credits recognized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Purchasing credits allows for replacement of unavoidable wetland impacts with higher functioning compensatory wetland mitigation. The following narrative describes the site, the project, wetland sequencing, and the wetland replacement plan. Figures and appendices are referenced and attached. The Joint Application Form for Activities Affecting Water Resources in Minnesota is included as Appendix A. Project Purpose and Need The purpose of the Gateway Business Park is to: 1. provide a commercial development that is consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan of the City of Eagan and responsive to market needs; 2. provide approximately 300,000 square feet of light industrial and supporting office floor space in the Northeast Special Planning Area of the City of Eagan; 3. fulfill of the need for more light industrial development that is appropriately sized and located in the City of Eagan (the Eagan industrial market has over 10 tenants seeking over 30,000 square feet of space each who would seek space in the proposed development); 4. create opportunities for future employment, commerce, and businesses that involve warehouse, manufacturing, light industrial, and supporting offices uses in northeastern Eagan; 5. bring diversity in commercial and light industrial development users to northeastern Eagan; 6. create a holistically -designed light industrial development that provides capacity for flexible types of uses and users; 7. create a development that maximizes the suitability and flexibility of the site, the buildings, the parking and the loading docks for light industrial and similar users; 8. utilize a site that has proximity to highways, which creates an ideal setting for warehousing, distribution, and supporting office uses; 9. provide infiltration and ponding for stornwater in compliance with current requirements; 10. minimize and mitigate environmental effects of the development on resources such as wetlands and traffic; and 2 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application 11. create a development that is consistent with the City of Eagan's desire to avoid residential development in the MSP Airport Noise Exposure Zones and Buffer area. II. SITE DESCRIPTION Proposed Project Location and Environmental Setting The project is proposed in the northeastern portion of the City of Eagan. It will be situated on a 32.985 -acre parcel that lies south of Lone Oak Road (CSAH 26), north of State Highway 55, and immediately west of the City of Inver Grove Heights. The project area falls in the NE 1/ of NE 1/ of Sec 12, T27N, R23W, City of Eagan, Dakota County, Minnesota (Figures 1 and 2). The site is situated in the northeastern portion of the City of Eagan, immediately west of the City of Inver Grove Heights and 1,000 feet east of Eagan's largest commercial development zone. The site limits correspond to Dakota County PID 10-29800-01-010. The proposed project area has been the subject of various development proposals over the past decades, none of these proposals have come to fruition. The property consists primarily of undeveloped, partially wooded land. It includes three homes, two of which were occupied at the time delineation, and one that was vacant. The property includes a dry wooded draw, woodland dominated by box elder, trembling aspen, and other species, and slopes ranging between 2 and 40 percent. Three wetlands were delineated in the southwest portion of the site, and three more wetlands were delineated near the northern and southeastern property boundaries (Figures 2 and 3) The project area includes part or all of five wetlands that cover a total of 1.0194 acre (44,404 square feet) within the property boundary. Woodlands, upland meadows, and residential yards cover the remainder of the site. Three of the wetlands are surrounded by upland, have no discernable natural or constructed inlets or outlets, and are believed to be isolated from navigable waters of the U.S. Most of the site drains overland toward Highway 55 and the wetlands in the southern portion of the site. Roughly the northern 20% of the site drains toward Lone Oak Road. The site falls within the jurisdiction of the Eagan -Inver Grove Heights Watershed Management Commission (formerly the Gun Club Lake WMO) and the Lower Minnesota River Major Watershed (33, aka Minnesota River -Shakopee). The project site is bordered by State Highway 55 and residential development to the south, large lot residential development to the west, Lone Oak Road (CSAH 26) and commercial development to the north, and a combination of large lot residential development and light industrial development within the City of Inver Grove Heights to the east. Eagan's primary business district is centered approximately 1.5 west of the project property (Figure 3) 3 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application Wetland Delineation Kjolhaug Environmental Services Company delineated six wetlands on and adjacent to the property on May 1, 2015, after reviewing National Wetlands Inventory snapping (Figure 4), the Minnesota DNR Public Waters Inventory (Figure 5) and the Soil Survey of Dakota County (Figure 6). These wetlands are identified in Table 1 and Figure 7 as Wetlands A through F. A wetland delineation report, request for a wetland boundary and type determination / wetland delineation concurrence, and an approved jurisdictional determination was submitted to the City of Eagan and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on June 5, 2015.

Wetlands A, B, and C are isolated depressions that are completely surrounded by upland and lack discernable natural or constructed inlets and outlets. Wetlands D, E, and F are located at least partially within the ditches of Highway 55 and Lone Oak Road.

PROPOSED PROJECT Requested Approvals Developing the proposed Gateway Business Park in a manner consistent with the project purpose and need will require placement of 0.5263 acre of wetland fill distributed among three small wetland basins. This application requests wetland approvals from the City of Eagan (Local Government Unit administering the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act) and the USACE (regulatory authority administering Section 404 of the Clean Water Act). Specifically, this application requests: 1. a wetland boundary and type determination from the City of Eagan; 2. certification of wetland replacement from the City of Eagan; 3. delineation concurrence and an approved jurisdictional determination from the USACE; and 4. authorization under RGP-003-MN from the USACE. If the USACE determines that one or two of the wetlands proposed to be filled fall under federal jurisdiction, then the Applicant submits that the Gateway Business Park is eligible for authorization under Regional General Permit RGP-003-MN, Activity 0, because it is a cornrnercial development that will not fill more than 0.50 acre of waters of the U.S. Although the total proposed wetland fill is 0.5263 acre, none of the wetlands in which fill is proposed are believed to be waters of the U.S. Proposed Project Description and Schedule Wyatt Sharing and Caring, LLC is proposing to develop approximately 33 acres in northeastern Eagan to a mix of light industrial uses that will promote conunerce and employment. The proposed Gateway Business Park will be consistent with the City of Eagan Northeast Special Area Plan, which focuses future land use on jobs and non- residential uses. Under the City's Comprehensive Plan, large lot and low density residential uses in the northeastern part of the City will be redeveloped to higher density commercial land uses (Appendix B). The Gateway Business Park will include three light industrial buildings that include supporting office space. These buildings will cover a total of 309,600 square feet. The development will include direct access to Highway 55 and Lone Oak Road (CSAH 26) to best distribute and disperse traffic. Buildings A and B will be in the northern part of the site with access to Lone Oak Road. These buildings will cover approximately 122,400 and 50,400 square feet, respectively. Building C will cover approximately 136,800 square feet and will be located in the southern part of the site, with access to Highway 55. The project will include parking for passenger vehicles and semi -trucks, semi -truck loading docks, and truck maneuvering areas. Truck bays and garage areas would be located behind Building A and to the east of Building B. This design will shield the 5 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application trucking and garage bays from views from adjacent roadways. The number of parking stalls proposed is driven by City of Eagan parking requirements, the mix of warehouse (85%) and office (15%) anticipated at full build out, and market demands for sufficient parking. Stormwater management facilities will provide infiltration and treatment of runoff prior to discharge to wetlands. The stormwater facilities are designed and sized to provide the required infiltration and pre-treatment of stornnwater prior to discharge to wetlands, and to fit with the site's topography. The necessary infrastructure, including sanitary sewer and water, is in place adjacent to the development site. Project construction is expected to start in late summer or early autumn of 2015. The Gateway Business Park is expected to be complete in time for tenants to occupy the buildings in the summer of 2016. III. SEQUENCING DISCUSSION Project Goals and Requirements The goals of the Gateway Business Park are to: 1. fulfill the project purpose and need by responding to the demand for office - warehouse light industrial development in northeastern Eagan; 2. acquire a suitable development property for light industrial development in northeastern Eagan from a single owner at a reasonable price; 3. construct a new light industrial development on a timely basis and have the buildings ready for occupancy before the end of 2016; 4. include parking onsite that is sufficient to meet City of Eagan requirements and respond to market demands for adequate parking, semi -truck loading docks, and truck maneuvering areas; 5. configure the buildings and loading docks in manner that screens the loading docks from the views of passing motorists on adjoining highways; 6. avoid and minimize effects on wetlands and water resources to the extent practicable; 7. replace unavoidable wetland impacts with higher functioning compensatory wetland mitigation; 8. designate buffers adjacent to avoided wetlands to help ensure long-term viability; and 9. infiltrate and treat stonnwater runoff in a manner consistent with local, state and federal standards. The following discussion addresses wetland avoidance, impact minimization, impact reduction and elimination over time, and replacement in compliance with Minnesota 6 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (404) requirements. Specifically, the sequencing discussion includes a summary of alternatives considered and design elements used to minimize wetland impacts. Wetland Avoidance Alternatives In compliance with WCA and 404 requirements, alternatives were evaluated in an attempt to avoid all wetland impacts. The No Build Alternative was considered as a way to eliminate all wetland impacts associated with the project. Although the no -build alternative would allow for the avoidance of all wetland impacts, it would not meet the project purpose, need, goals, or requirements. The no build alternative would not fulfill the planned intention of the City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan, which favors a cohesive transition in the Northeast Special Planning Area, from existing low density uses to employment and commercial uses (Appendix B). Even if the no -build alternative were implemented, another similar commercial development proposal would soon be brought before the City of Eagan for this development site. The proposed Gateway Business Park is the second development proposal for this property in two years, and the third proposal in 13 years. With the recent increase in the pace of development, the project site would likely be developed in the next three to five years even if the no -build alternative is implanted at this time. For these reasons the no -build was rejected as an alternative to avoiding wetland impacts. Alternative Project Locations were considered during early stages of project planning A primary purpose of the proposed development is to advance the fulfillment of land use vision set forth in the City of Eagan Northeast Special Area Plan. This area covers approximately 740 acres and has been designated as a special area to reflect the community's desire to have a cohesive transition to employment -oriented and commercial uses. The Northeast Special Area is roughly 50 to 60% developed at this time. • Alternative Project Location 1 is located immediately west of the proposed development site. Properties adjoining the west boundary of the proposed project area are not readily available for development of the Gateway Business Park. The proposed development is located in the southeast portion of the Northeast Special Area, between Lone Oak Road (CSAH 26) and Highway 55. Access to primary roadways makes the light industrial land use appropriate in this area. The small parcel sizes, existing uses, and larger, more important wetlands render the adjacent lands inappropriate and unavailable for the Business Park. The proposed development property is the largest parcel in this vicinity. At approximately 33 acres, the development property is over three times larger than any other undeveloped parcel situated between Lone Oak Road and Hwy 55 in the City of Eagan. Other nearby parcels range in size from 0.96 to 9.67 acres. Assembling an area similar in size to the 33 -acre development site would require acquisition of nine adjoining parcels to the west of the development parcel. These nine parcels cover a total of 36.21 acres, include two parcels that appear to 7 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application already serve joint residential/commercial uses, and contain at least two wetlands. These wetlands include DNR Public Waters Wetland 19-257W, which covers about 2.41 acres, and another wetland covering about 0.24 acre, which is not shown on NWI snapping. A full wetland delineation in this area would likely detect additional wetlands that have not yet been identified using remote inventory methods. • Alternative Project Locations 2 and 3 are located approximately one mile northwest of the proposed project area. These sites lie within the northern portion of the City of Eagan Northeast Special Area, which is designated for and largely developed as corporate office campuses, with smaller areas of institutional uses like churches, schools, and non-profit organizations. Light industrial office/warehouse uses are best grouped separately from office campuses and located adjacent to major thoroughfares like Highway 55, Lone Oak Road (CSAH 26) and Dodd Blvd (Hwy 149). The Applicant considered acquiring other properties in this corporate office campus area, but found them unworkable for the proposed project. Alternative Project Location 2 is located at 2800 Lone Oak Parkway. This property is part of the former Delta Air Lines headquarter land and covers 32.39 acres. However, the City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan does allow for industrial use on this property and the market price was prohibitively high. Alternative Project Location 3 is PID 10-14570-01-014, which is a vacant 18.39 - acre parcel located in the southeast quadrant of I-494 and I -35E. Although this property provides attractive visibility and access for light industrial use, the topography presents even more challenges for light industrial use than the proposed site. Additionally, the cost of purchasing the property would have been more than double that of the proposed site, resulting in an unfeasible project Alternative Project Locations are not practicable because they do not fulfill the project purpose, need, or requirements. Two Alternative Project Designs were evaluated to further demonstrate that wetlands on the proposed project site are unavoidable. The first was the Children's Home Alternative (Figure 8), which was proposed in 2002 by Mary Jo Copeland/Sharing and Caring Hands. This development obtained approval from the City of Eagan, but did not proceed because it was not successful at raising sufficient development capital. Given the current wetland delineation, the Children's Home Alternative would have filled approximately 8,000 square feet (0.18 acre) of wetland, including all of Wetland A, a small part of Wetland B, and approximately half of Wetland C. The second Alternative Project Design was a Low Density Residential Alternative (Figure 9), proposed by Ryland Homes in 2014. This development did not proceed because the City of Eagan did not approve a residential use for development within the MSP Airport Noise Exposure Zone and Buffer area. Given the current wetland delineation, the Low Density Residential Alternative would have filled approximately 8 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application 7,280 square feet (0.17 acre) of wetland, including all of Wetland A and approximately half of Wetland C. A Wetland Avoidance Alternative that would completely avoid wetland impacts was considered early in the development process, before the wetland delineation for the proposed project area was updated. This Wetland Avoidance Alternative (Figure 10) would have completely avoided what the designers understood to be wetland at the time the design was created. As designed, this alternative would fill Wetlands A and C, which cover 8,918 square feet (0.20 acre). Although the design could be further refined to completely avoid wetlands by eliminating more building and parking space, it was not be a viable alternative in that it would not meet the project purpose, need, goals, and requirements for the following reasons: • Smaller light industrial buildings are not viable. They are neither suitable for potential tenants in the market, nor are they economically viable to develop. Given the nature of freight forwarders, who represent the majority industrial businesses and tenants in the southeastern Twin Cities industrial market, being able to expand and contract according to client needs is imperative for ongoing operations. Constructing smaller buildings severely hinders the ability of light industrial businesses to meet market demand and results in rents that exceed current market transactions by over 20%. By building a larger campus with total square footage concentrated in as few buildings as possible, developers are able to spread out the costs associated with site work and utility distribution while maintaining tenant required flexibility. This approach also serves to limit the amount of finished exterior walls, which are a major cost in any development. The proposed remediation helps to ensure the building can be delivered to meet the market demand and lease according to the current market rental rates. The current configuration provides buildings that are as small as economically feasible given the nature of the topography and costs of construction. • The typical size of a distribution center in Eagan is 150,000 - 250,000 square feet. This is smaller than typical distribution centers in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, and the size of the buildings in the Gateway Business Park is smaller than typical light industrial facilities in Eagan. Because Eagan does not have a very robust distribution business, and is instead driven by freight forwarders, industrial buildings tend to be 120,000 to 240,000 square feet. This allows for appropriate bay spacing and increased efficiencies. The Eagan industrial market has over 10 tenants looking for space over 30,000 square feet, who would seek space in the proposed development. Most of these tenants do not have strong financial credit and therefore will be located in multi -tenant buildings to help owners offset concentrated business risk. • Having large multi -tenant buildings is important in diversifying the credit risk as well as potentially attracting a larger credit tenant. If a company does not have very strong credit, they typically aren't leasing a large portion of small buildings due to the heightened risk of default and their inability to provide extended lease 9 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application term. The smaller the space, the smaller the tenant, which generally results in less credit support for the lease obligations. • Smaller facilities result in higher relative construction cost for the same rentable square footage. For this reason, the proposed development only has one building below 100,000 square feet. It is difficult to find tenants willing to purchase a new facility because few are willing to direct excess cash toward ownership of real estate at the determent of reinvesting in their core business. A tenant desiring this arrangement first needs to be willing to devote the capital, then be willing to pay rent that is higher than the market rate because the exterior facade and required utility service is a larger amount of the budget. In comparison to the Proposed Alternative, the Wetland Avoidance Alternative would cause a net loss of wetland functions and values while simultaneously resulting in a development that neither meets market needs nor is economically viable to construct. Wetlands A, B, and C would persist in their existing locations, but the nearby parking areas and buildings would divert a substantial portion of their tributary drainage areas to stonnwater management systems. Sustaining wetland functions would become problematic. The Wetland Avoidance Alternative would serve neither prospective tenants nor the wetlands well. For these reasons, this alternative was rejected. No alternatives were identified that met the project purpose and requirements while completely avoiding direct and indirect wetland impacts. The Proposed Alternative is shown on the Proposed Grading Plan in Figure 11. The Proposed Grading Plan meets the project purpose, need, goals, and requirements as described above and is compatible with future land uses envisioned by the City of Eagan. The proposed project represents an orderly and logical use of the subject property and is consistent with applicable land use and policy plans. Onsite Wetland Impact Avoidance and Minimization Wetland impacts avoidance and minimization will be accomplished by: 1. accessing the site from existing entrance points off of Highway 55 and Lone Oak Road; 2. using the flattest parts of the development site for the buildings and parking areas; 3. steepening the grades of new slopes and constructing retaining walls to maximize the use of development space and avoid Wetland D; 4. avoiding construction on steep slopes to the extent practicable; 5. providing natural vegetation buffers along avoided wetlands to protect against incidental impacts, as described in the section below; 6. treating stonnwater to applicable standards prior to discharge to wetlands; and 7. using silt fence and other Best Management Practices to control erosion and stormwater runoff during construction. 10 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application Wetland Impact Rectification No temporary wetland impacts are proposed. Wetland impact rectification does not apply. Wetland Impact Reduction or Elimination Over Time Several practices to be implemented at the expanded landfill operation will help reduce or eliminate wetland impacts over time, including: 1. providing natural vegetation buffers along avoided wetlands to protect against incidental impacts, as described in the section below; 2. seeding disturbed portions of the buffers to appropriate grassland seed mixes to establish permanent cover that will reduce or eliminate soil erosion and effects on offsite wetlands and downstream water resources; 3. constructing stormwater basins to manage and reduce potential effects of stormwater runoff; and 4. complying with the NPDES Industrial Stormwater Permit to reduce pollutants in storrnwater discharges. Proposed Wetland Impacts Construction of light industrial facilities on the project site will require fill in three small (0.08 — 0.32 acre), isolated wetlands that have not been previously identified by the City of Eagan wetland inventory. Construction of the Gateway Business Park will make it necessary to fill Wetlands A, B, and C, which cover a total of 22,924 square feet (0.5263 acre). The fill is proposed in wetland Types 2/5/1L/6; PEM1B/PUBx/PFO1A/PSS1B; Fresh wet meadow/Shallow open water (excavated)/Bottomland forest/Shrub carr wetland (Figure 11 and Table 3). The largest wetland on the site will be avoided. This wetland extends onto the Highway 55 right-of-way and the adjoining property in Inver Grove Heights. The topographic slopes on the site make the wetlands unavoidable by restricting potential for development in the central portion of the property where slopes are steepest, and concentrating development in the northern and southern portions of the site where wetlands are located. This point applies to all types of development, as shown on Figure 2 and Figures 8 —11. Fill in the small isolated wetlands is unavoidable because they are located in the portion of the site best suited to development, because the proposed use requires relatively large level areas, and because the topography of the site limits the flexibility of the project design. The buildings and parking areas cannot be shifted within the site to avoid wetlands. It is not practicable to build multi -story light industrial buildings because the buildings need to be accommodate forklifts and other equipment that is routinely used to move freight in such buildings. 11 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application It is not practicable to make the buildings substantially smaller, because small buildings would not fulfill the project purpose, need, goals, or objectives. As indicated in the Wetland Avoidance Alternative discussion presented previously in this application, the Eagan industrial market has a specific need for the size of buildings proposed. Making the buildings and parking areas slightly smaller would not effectively avoid wetlands because the proposed development plan (Figure 11) includes a number of retaining walls. Making the buildings footprints slightly smaller or increasing the use of the retaining walls would only accomplish avoidance of Wetland C, which covers less than 0.1 acre and located at the west boundary of the site. Because Wetlands A and B are located in the interior of the site, avoiding them would leave them surrounded by impervious surface. An alternative design that would avoid Wetland C would leave the wetland flanked by a narrow buffer and a 10 -foot high retaining wall. The adjoining property to the west is guided for commercial use, is expected to eventually develop to light industrial or office, and Wetland C would then be completely isolated and its functions would continue to decline over time. For these reasons, replacing Wetlands A, B, and C with onsite storrnwater management features and offsite wetland banking credits located within the major watershed is the preferred alternative for perpetuating wetland functions and related public values. The Proposed Grading Plan represents a balanced effort to accommodate the project purpose, goals, and requirements while avoiding and minimizing wetland impacts to the extent practicable. Table 3.

Although multiple development groups have attempted to develop the site, those proposals have not been approved or adequately funded. The Proposed Grading Plan fulfills the need that exists in the marketplace and the City of Eagan's vision for redevelopment of the project property to a commercial use. 12 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application Other land development options are not practicable for the project property. Despite the wetlands and topographic constraints, light industrial is the most appropriate use for the property because: 1. The site covers over 30 acres with dual frontage on CSAH 26 and Highway 55, making it ideal for warehousing, distribution and supporting office facilities. 2. The site lacks adjacent transit service, making it less desirable for pure office uses. 3. The site is not adjacent or connected to a City, County or regional park system, making it less desirable for office and residential uses. 4. The site falls partially within the MSP Airport Noise Exposure Zone and Buffer area, making it unsuitable for residential use. 5. Warehousing, distribution and supporting office users are less reliant on transit services and are more concerned with accessibility to the highway system. City of Eagan Wetland Buffer Requirements and Compliance City of Eagan Ordinance Section 11.67 (Wetlands Protection and Management Regulations) requires wetland buffers based on the wetland management classifications determined by the City of Eagan. Wetland management classifications are based on a MnRAM assessment of wetland functions in combination with connections to important water bodies and open space. The Applicant submitted the results of a MnRAM assessment of wetland functions to the City of Eagan with the Wetland Delineation Report for the project area. Pending the City's wetland management classification determinations, the Applicant has tentatively assumed that avoided wetlands will be classified as Manage A, because they have low or moderate MnRAM rankings for Vegetative Diversity and Wildlife Habitat Structure, and because they are partially located within ditches of major roadways. Accordingly, the project team has tentatively assumed that the City of Eagan will require 20 -foot -wide buffers adjoining avoided wetlands. The Applicant's team will work with the City of Eagan to determine and provide for the wetland buffers necessary to protect and sustain wetland functions and values. Wetland buffers that are disturbed by grading will be seeded to an acceptable grassland seed mix. IV. WETLAND REPLACEMENT PLAN Wetland Replacement Siting The Applicant evaluated the potential for onsite wetland replacement and concluded that it was not feasible and prudent to create replacement wetlands onsite. The Applicant recognizes that the City of Eagan prefers that wetland replacement be located onsite first, within the minor watershed or the City of Eagan second, and within the major watershed or Dakota County third. 13 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application Topographic and special constraints make onsite wetland replacement impracticable for the same reasons that wetland fill is unavoidable. Wetland replacement monitoring studies have shown that squeezing replacement wetlands into commercial development sites has frequently resulted in wetland replacement that did not adequately replace wetland functions lost due to wetland impacts. This is particularly true in situations like the proposed project, which includes retaining walls and challenging topography. Emerging philosophy and USACE preferences for wetland replacement siting have recently shifted toward wetland banking as the preferred alternative. Replacement via wetland banking has the distinct advantage of advanced temporal wetland replacement. There is no short-term loss of wetland functions because the wetland replacement area is functioning and accepted by agencies before the wetland fill occurs. The project team reviewed 13 wetland banks listed in the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources database before selecting the proposed replacement site. There are no wetland banking credits available for purchase within the minor watershed, the City of Eagan, or Dakota County. The 13 wetland banks reviewed are located within the same major watershed (33, Lower Minnesota River) and wetland bank service area (9) as the proposed wetland impact site. Only one of those 13 wetland banks had suitable wetland credits for sale because: 1. six had insufficient credit available; 2. two are owned by government agencies that generally prefer to use credits to replace impacts related to public improvements; 3. two wetland bank representatives did not return phone calls soliciting the purchase of credits; 4. one is owned by a developer that generally prefers to use credits for its own projects; and 5. one does not have wetland credits recognized by the USACE. The remaining wetland replacement site is discussed under the Proposed Replacement Plan section below. Compliance Framework Minnesota Rules Part 8420.0117, Subp. 1, states that Dakota County is in an area with less than 50% of presettlement wetlands remaining. Minnesota Rules Part 8420.0522, Subp. 4, states that the minimum replacement ratio for impacts to wetlands on nonagricultural land in a less than 50% area, when the replacement occurs via wetland banking in the same bank service area, is 2 to 1. The wetland impact proposed for the Gateway Business Park likely falls partially or completely outside the jurisdiction of the USACE. Accordingly, the proposed project is likely eligible for a USACE letter of no jurisdiction or authorization under Regional General Permit RGP-003-MN, Activity 0, because it is a commercial development that will not fill more than 0.50 acre of waters of the U.S. The proposed project involves 14 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application 0.5263 acre of fill in Wetlands A, B, and C, all of which are believed to be isolated from navigable waters. Replacement Requirement The replacement calculations for the project follow: 22,924 square feet of proposed fill x 2.0 (2 to 1 ratio) 45,848 square feet of required replacement Proposed Replacement Plan The Applicant plans to purchase 45,848 square feet (1.0525 acre) of Type 3 Standard Wetland Credit (SWC) from Minnesota wetland bank account 1175, the German Settlement Wetland Bank (Figure 12). The German Settlement Wetland Bank is located in the Lower Minnesota River Major Watershed (33) and Wetland Bank Service Area 9, just like the wetland impact site. The German Settlement Wetland Bank is situated in Blakeley Township of Scott County, approximately 40 miles southeast of the impact site, within the NE '/ of Section 34, Ti 13N, R 25 W, at latitude/longitude decimal degrees coordinates 44.554700, - 93.810490. This Wetland Bank has several characteristics that make it appropriate for replacement of the proposed wetland impact. The rural natural setting of the wetland bank suggests that it will be more likely to sustain higher vegetative diversity, water quality, and wildlife habitat functions than the wetlands to be filled, which generally have low vegetative diversity. The Wetland Credit Purchase Agreement and the Application for Withdrawal of Wetland Bank Credits are included in Appendix C. Wetland replacement monitoring and management is the responsibility of the Wetland Bank owner. 15 Gateway Business Park Wetland Permit Application FIGURES 1. Site Location 2. USGS Topography 3.

For purposes of this form it is not meant to indicate whether or not those activities may require mitigation/replacement. Attachment A Request for Delineation Review, Wetland Type Determination) ar Jurisdictional Determination By submission of the enclosed wetland delineation report, I am requesting that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District (Corps) and/or the Wetland Conservation Act Local Government Unit (LGU) provide me with the following (check all that apply): Wetland Type Confirmation [Si Delineation Concurrence, Concurrence with a delineation is a written notification from the Corps and a decision from the LGU concurring, not concurring, or commenting on the boundaries of the aquatic resources delineated on the property. Delineation concurrences are generally valid for five years unless site conditions change. Under this request alone, the Corps will not address the jurisdictional status of the aquatic resources on the property, only the boundaries of the resources within the review area (including wetlands, tributaries, lakes, etc,), Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination. A preliminary julisdictional determination (PJD) is a non-binding written indication from the Corps that waters, including wetlands, identified on a parcel may be waters of the United States. For purposes of computation of impacts and compensatory mitigation requirements, a permit decision made on the basis of a PJD will treat all waters and wetlands in the review area as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. PJDs are advisory in nature and may not be appealed, EK) Approved Jurisdictional Determination. An approved jurisdictional determination (AJD) is an official Corps determination that jurisdictional waters of the United States are either present or absent on the property. AJDs can generally be relied upon by the affected party for five years. An AJD may be appealed through the Corps administrative appeal process. In order for the Corps and LGU to process your request, the wetland delineation must be prepared in accordance with the 1987 r -()s of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, any approved Regional Supplements to the 1987 Manual, and the Guidelines for nitting Wetland Delineations in Minnesota (2013). http:Moww.mvp.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatorv/DelineationiDGuidance.asox Attachment B Supporting information for Applications Involving Exemptions, No Loss Determinations, and Activities Not Requiring Mitigation Complete this part If you maintain that the identified aquatic resource impacts in Part Four do not require wetland replacement/compensatory mitigation OR if you are seeking verification that the proposed water resource impacts are either exempt from replacement or are not under CWA/WCA jurisdiction.

The TEP Findings Report is being completed for the development's wetland replacement plan application. TYPE OF MEETING: Check all applicable ❑ Office ® On -Site ❑ Phone Conference ® E -Mail ❑ Other: TEP FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1: On June 15, 2015, the developer applied to the City of Eagan to fill and replace three wetlands (total = 22,924 ft2, 0.5263 acre) by withdrawing 45,848 ft2 (1.0525 acres) of wetland credits from German Settlement Wetland Bank (#1175) in Blakeley Township, Scott County. On July 28, 2015 the City approved a wetland boundary and type decision, for which the developer had separately applied. Six wetlands have been identified within the parcel or less than 50 feet outside of it. Eric Macbeth (City of Eagan) and Brian Watson (Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District) reviewed site wetlands on June 16. According to MN Rules Ch. 8420.0520, the application has addressed sequencing requirements, including impact avoidance and minimization and wetland replacement. The application has also included alternatives that would avoid wetland impacts. The three wetlands proposed for impact are small and of low functional quality. Proposed wetland replacement at a 2:1 ratio and through the purchase of wetland bank credits located within the same bank service area is consistent with MN Rules Ch. 8420.0522 Subp. 4. The TEP recommends approval of the wetland replacement application with the following conditions: • Avoided wetlands are provided buffers in accordance with the City's Wetland Protection and Management Regulations • A transaction form for withdrawal of wetland bank credits is submitted to the City of Eagan for signature and evidence of a fully executed copy from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources is provided to the City prior to any wetland fill impacts. 1 TEP Findings should be a meaningful concise summary detailing the project conditions, technical data, and what rules apply. The TEP recommendation should be clear,based on rule and best professional judgement.

Approve City Contract 15-21, LeMay Lake Alum Treatment Action To Be Considered: Receive bid and award Contract 15-21 (LeMay Lake Alum Treatment – Water Quality Improvements) to HAB Aquatic Solutions, LLC, in the amount of $71,777.00, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. Facts: ➢ The City recently completed studies and plans for 12 lakes, with support by a $167,000 grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Similar to previous grant -supported efforts for Fish, Schwanz, Blackhawk, and Thomas lakes, the 2012-2015 "Neighborhood Lakes" project evaluated water quality, assessed the phosphorus in each lake's watershed, and identified improvement projects and activities to benefit the lakes. ➢ During the project in 2014, MPCA listed LeMay and three of the other "Neighborhood" lakes as impaired for aquatic recreation, under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act, due to excessive phosphorus. ➢ Although stormwater runoff is the largest source of LeMay Lake's phosphorus, the study concluded lake sediment provides large enough amounts of phosphorus to the water to warrant an alum treatment. ➢ For many years, lake managers have safely and effectively applied aluminum sulfate (i.e., alum) to control phosphorus released from sediment during certain conditions. Generally, alum is very cost-effective for reducing a lake's phosphorus content. To determine the specific dose, lake sediment was scientifically analyzed. ➢ The City previously has applied alum successfully to some Eagan 'lakes—most recently to Blackhawk Lake in 2013 (by HAB Aquatic Solutions, LLC). ➢ HAB Aquatic Solutions, LLC—affiliated nationally for this type of very specialized work—provided the only proposal, which was reviewed by Water Resources staff. The proposal was found to be favorable for the City Council's consideration of approving a contract to provide the materials, services, equipment, and personnel for a surface application of aluminum sulfate and sodium aluminate buffer to LeMay Lake. ➢ The alum treatment will be paid by the stormwater utility fund through the approved 2015 Water Resources budget. The application is planned for the week of September 14.

Action To Be Considered: Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance amendment to City Code Chapter 10 to change the Off -Leash Dog Area (OLDA) permit from a one to a two-year renewal and require a permit tag instead of a collar. Facts: ➢ The Off -Leash Dog Area (OLDA) opened in the fall of 2012 at Thresher Fields Park. ➢ Currently the OLDA permits expire at the end of each calendar year. ➢ Dog License renewal is every even year and is managed by Animal Control. ➢ Changing this OLDA permit to a two year renewal to coincide with the Dog License renewal will make it more convenient for residents to renew both permits at the same time. OLDA users feedback has also indicated a desire for an OLDA dog tag instead of a collar. ➢ If the Council directs preparation of an ordinance amendment, the Advisory Parks Commission will be notified as an information memo at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Approve Amendment To 2015 Parks Capital Improvement Project List. Action To Be Considered: Approve Amendment to 2015 Parks Capital Improvement Project List to Allocate $35,000 for Art House Sanitary Sewer Connection and Lower Amount for Rahn Athletic Electrical Improvements to $15,000. Facts: ➢ The septic system at the Art House is showing signs of imminent failure. This presents a health and safety concern for continued use of the Art House facility. Approximately 225 participants attend programs at the Eagan Art House each week. The facility is open for programs 7 days a week, 48 weeks per year. Estimated cost of connecting the facility to City sewer is $35,000. ➢ $50,000 was designated in the 2015 Parks CIP for an Electrical Upgrade project at Rahn Athletic Fields. Although this project remains important, it can be started with the lesser amount of $15,000 and continued in a future year through a new approval in a subsequent CIP budget. ➢ The Advisory Parks Commission (APrC) has been apprised of this situation and need to amend the 2015 project list. ➢ The City Council approved the 2015 CIP on November 18, 2014. This amendment will not change the amount spent from the fund in 2015, only allocate differently to include the sewer project. ➢ Funding for the CIP has historically come from the Park Site Fund (PSF), which is primarily money collected from developments at the time of platting in lieu of land dedication. Starting with the 2012 budget the City Council designated a $400,000 annual allocation to fund what is now called the Park Systems Development and Renewal and Replacement Fund.

Required Vote For Approval: ➢ Planned Development Amendment — At least three votes Facts: ➢ This item was postponed from the August 3, 2015 City Council meeting to allow all Councilmembers to be in attendance to review the request. ➢ The applicant is proposing to develop the property with a one-story approximately 10,400 s.f. child care facility. ➢ The existing PD, established in 1982, designates the property for a 5,000 s.f. office. The PD Amendment is needed due to a different use and larger building size. ➢ The Knob Hill Professional Park PD was based on LB (Limited Business) zoning and as such, the evaluation of the proposal is as compared to LB standards. ➢ The proposal satisfies most typical development LB zoning standards in regard to site layout, parking, utilities and landscaping. ➢ Deviations to building setbacks and building finish materials ratios are requested, and discussed in greater detail in the staff report. o Class I materials 59.% <65% o Class III materials (LP Smartside engineered wood siding) exceed the 35% maximum o Building setback to Pilot Knob road = 45' proposed vs. 50' required o Setback of attached trash enclosure to Knob Drive = 18' proposed vs. 30' required ➢ Approval of the Planned Development Amendment simultaneously constitutes the Final Planned Development for the property. ➢ The APC held a public hearing on July 28, 2015 and did recommend approval on a split vote (4-1).

PUBLIC HEARING New Business A. Prestige Preschool Academy Applicant Name: O'Halloran & Murphy / Shingobee Builders, Inc. Location: 4150 Knob Dr, Lot 3, Block 2, Knob Hill Professional Park Application: Planned Development Amendment A Planned Development Amendment to allow the development of an approximately 10,400 s.f. single -story childcare facility File Number: 21 -PA -05-06-15 Planner Dudziak introduced this item and highlighted the information presented in the City Staff report dated July 22, 2015. The applicant, Jon Fahning of Shingobee Builders, provided background information on Prestige Preschool Academy and discussed the difficulties presented with the..odd-shaped parcel and he commented on the minor deviations requested. Member Dierkes asked about the 200+ kids and for an idea of the anticipated breakdown of the numbers of children in different age groups . Mr. Fahning explained the number of kids is based on a formula and Minnesota licensing standards and that they would anticipate approximately 70%-80% of the kids would be in the infant to kindergarten age range. Member Dierkes inquired about the possibility for private kindergarten mentioned in the report. Mr. Fahning replied that there is an opportunity, for private kindergarten, and enrollment will depend on room sizes and square footage -pee student requirements. Chair Filipi opened the public hearing. Celeste Bour, 4161 Knob Drive, stated she liked the use for the property but believes the building is too big. She also shared concerns with parking, MN licensing standards, traffic, the trash enclosure and parking on the street. Mark Oliver, 4169 Knob Drive, stated he and his family understood and accepted that a 5,000 SF office building was allowed. He stated his concerns for safety because Knob Drive is regularly used as a cut -through, that the proposed parking on the site looked light. He also stated the original planners sized the building correctly. Karen Piehler Shaw, 4165 Knob Drive, referenced a previous proposal for a two-story office building that was denied; she stated the neighbors have planned on a 5,000 SF building. She also shared her belief that the proposed building was not big enough for 200 kids and her concern that traffic already zooms by on Knob Drive presenting a safety issue. She went on to say that she attended the neighborhood meeting held by the applicant and was told that Shingobee would not be the long term owner of the building. She asked how many daycare facilities the City needs. Advisory Planning Commission July 28, 2015 Page 3 of 14 There being no further public comment, Chair Filipi ,closed the public hearing and turned the discussion back to the Commission. Member Dierkes asked the applicant if the proposed building was the typical size Prestige builds and if 200 child capacity was the norm. The applicant responded that the building is slightly smaller than their prototype and the typical number of children present at any one time is closer to 150. 200 licensed attendees doesn't mean all children will be there at the same time. The number of children in attendance is also controlled by the total in each room and required teacher to child ratios, which is impacted by staffing and size of the rooms. Member Dierkes asked if the 10,000 SF building was a typical size for daycare building in Eagan and typical number of children in attendance. City Planner Ridley stated he wasn't certain but he believed the newest daycare facility built in Eagan, Primrose School on Johnny Cake, was at least that size (11,250 SF, actually), and the City doesn't get into enrollment numbers because that is a State issue in regard to licensing Chair Filipi commented that the proposal meets the City's parking requirements, and building size is within the density allowed for typical zoning standards. He asked about the traffic capacity of Knob Drive. Assistant City Engineer Nelson stated Knob Drive is designed to handle the additional traffic. Chair Filipi stated this was a difficult question based on the past approval for a 5,000 SF building and also denial of a two-story 12,000 SF building, but the current proposal meets density and parking standards. Vice Chair Vanderpoel stated she understands there is no historical information as to the specifics of why the original PD called for a 5,000 SF building. She commented that she does not believe the proposed building is too large for the site. Chair Filipi reiterated the public hearing had closed to public comments, and any further questions or comments can be directed to City Staff for consideration at the City Council meeting. Member Sagstetter suggested the Eagan Police Dept. be made aware of the traffic speeding on Knob Drive. Member Woebke inquired about implementing possible traffic controls or calming measures on Knob Drive. Assistant City Engineer Nelson responded that such measures have varying effectiveness, and Police Dept. can determine whether any additional enforcement efforts are needed to control traffic speeds in the area. Member Sagstetter moved, Member Vanderpoel seconded a motion to recommend approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow the development of an approximately 10,400 s.f. single -story childcare facility, subject to the conditions listed below: Member Sagstetter stated his belief that the deviations requested were minor and the benefit to the public of the development outweighs the deviations. Advisory Planning Commission July 28, 2015 Page 4 of 14 Member Dierkes stated his concern for the capacity of the facility, congestion in the parking area and traffic, and that he would prefer a smaller scale operation. Member Vanderpoel stated the site might be a little tight, but not enough to deny the project. . There being no further comments, Chair Filipi called the question. A vote was taken. Motion carried 4-1 (Dierkes) 1. A Final Planned Development Agreement shall be executed and recorded with the Dakota County Recorder's office.

PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: July 22, 2015 CASE: 21 -PA -05-06-15 (revised July 30, 2015) APPLICANT: Shingobee Builders, Inc. HEARING DATE: July 28, 2015 PROPERTY OWNER: O'Halloran & Murphy APPLICATION DATE: June 17, 2015 REQUEST: Planned Development Amendment PREPARED BY: Pam Dudziak LOCATION: 4150 Knob Drive COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: 0/S-Office/Service ZONING: PD, Planned Development SUMMARY OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow the development of an approximately 10,400 s.f. single -story childcare facility upon property located at 4150 Knob Drive, legally described as Lot 3, Block 2, Knob Hill Professional Park. As a single lot, one -phase development, approval of the Planned Development Amendment simultaneously constitutes the Final Planned Development for the property upon execution and recording of the Final Planned Development Agreement. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subdivision 5 states, in part, 1. The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the boundaries of any district or changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. 2. The Council shall not rezone any land or area in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to this chapter without first having referred it to the advisory planning commission for its consideration and recommendation. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The subject property was platted in 1984 as part of Knob Hill Professional Park and is currently vacant. The property to the south developed with a clinic and the lots to the west contain Planning Report — Prestige Preschool July 28, 2015 Page 2 primarily single-family homes, with a couple office and clinic buildings at the north end of Knob Drive. The Knob Hill Professional Park Planned Development Agreement designates the subject site for development of a 5,000 s.f. office building. A development proposal for a two-story 12,500 s.f. office building was denied by the City in 2002 due to size of the building, insufficient parking, and setbacks. EXISTING CONDITIONS The triangular shaped 1.44 acre site abuts public right-of-way to the west (Knob Drive) and east (Pilot Knob Road). A sidewalk extends along the east side of the property, parallel to Pilot Knob Road. Access to the parcel is from Knob Drive; the plat restricts direct access along the Pilot Knob Road frontage. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: EVALUATION OF REQUEST Description of Proposal — The proposed development consists of the construction of a single story childcare facility of approximately 10,400 sf. The facility would provide educational and childcare services for up to 206 children, including infant care, private kindergarten, along with before and after and half day programs for school-age children. The building is located on the southern widest portion of the property, with parking and stormwater facilities to the north; outdoor playground areas are located east of the building. The playground areas are enclosed by a 6' white decorative metal fence, which will require egress to a public way to be reviewed at the time of Building Permit. The applicant's narrative indicates construction of the property is intended to start fall 2015, and anticipated to be completed in summer 2016. The applicant indicates the facility will operate from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and closed Saturday and Sunday. Existing Use Zoning Land Use Designation North Residential R-1, Single -Family Residential LD, Low Density Residential West Residential; Veterinary and Medical Office R-1, Single -Family Residential PD, Planned Development LD, Low Density Residential; O/S, Office/Service South Medical/Dental Office PD, Planned Development O/S, Office/Special East Church (Beautiful Savior); Commercial Retail (Hilltop Plaza) QP, Quasi- Public/Institutional; NB, Neighborhood Business PF, Public Facilities; RC, Retail -Commercial EVALUATION OF REQUEST Description of Proposal — The proposed development consists of the construction of a single story childcare facility of approximately 10,400 sf. The facility would provide educational and childcare services for up to 206 children, including infant care, private kindergarten, along with before and after and half day programs for school-age children. The building is located on the southern widest portion of the property, with parking and stormwater facilities to the north; outdoor playground areas are located east of the building. The playground areas are enclosed by a 6' white decorative metal fence, which will require egress to a public way to be reviewed at the time of Building Permit. The applicant's narrative indicates construction of the property is intended to start fall 2015, and anticipated to be completed in summer 2016. The applicant indicates the facility will operate from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and closed Saturday and Sunday. Planning Report — Prestige Preschool July 28, 2015 Page 3 The proposal is subject to a Planned Development Amendment because it consists of a different use and a building larger than the 5,000 s.f. office specified in the existing Planned Development Agreement. Compatibility with Surrounding Area — The surrounding area is a mix of single family residential, commercial, and retail uses. The proposed development is intended to blend in both functionally and aesthetically with the surrounding properties and uses. Public Benefit — The applicant states the childcare facility would provide additional services to residents and enhance the commercial businesses in the area. The narrative also indicates development of the site would "provide a positive change to the tax levy on the property," which has been vacant for many years. The narrative indicates the proposed use is consistent with the intent of the original Planned Development for a general commercial use on the property, and the infrastructure in the area can support the proposed use. Bulk Standards — The Knob Hill Professional Park PD was based on LB, Limited Business, zoning standards. As such, this proposal will be evaluated against typical LB standards. Setbacks — The applicant is proposing a 5' deviation to the building setback from Pilot Knob Road for the northeasterly corner of the building. Also, the building satisfies the minimum setback from Knob Drive, however, the attached trash enclosure is a deviation with a proposed setback of 18.1' from Knob Drive. These deviations occur on the north end of the building and are due to the triangular shape of the lot. The deviations can be accommodated through the PD zoning, and their acceptability is a policy matter to be determined by City officials. The following Required Proposed The following Required Proposed building setbacks apply to the property: Knob Drive Pilot Knob Rd. 30' 30.4' 18.1' (trash encl.) 50' 45' parking setbacks apply to the property: Knob Drive Pilot Knob Rd. 20' 20' 20' 20' Side Yard 10' 18.9' Side Yard 5' N/A Building Coverage — The proposed building coverage ratio is 16.5%, which is less than the typical LB standard of a maximum 20%. Building Height — Proposed building height is approximately 18', as measured to mean roof height, and 24'6" to the peak roof height. This is consistent with the typical ordinance standard of 30' maximum mean roof height. Planning Report — Prestige Preschool July 28, 2015 Page 4 Green Space — Commercial properties are subject to providing a minimum 30% green space. The proposed development provides 48% green space. Parking — The Site Plan proposes a total of 31 parking stalls for the proposed 10,358 s.f. daycare. This is consistent with the typical standard for daycare facilities of ten parking stalls plus one stall for each 500 square feet of building. The dimensional standards in the City Code also appear to be satisfied. The proposed parking stalls are 10' x 19', with a 24' two-way drive aisle. The proposed parking meets the City Code standards for daily needs. Occasional special events throughout the year may result in a need for overflow parking. On -street parking is currently available along Knob Drive for this occasional use. The applicant should note winter parking restrictions may limit availability of on -street parking during winter months. According to the applicant, there will be one or two school vans that will be kept on the property on an on-going basis, similar to other daycare providers in the City. These vehicles are used to transport children to and from elementary schools in the area. The vehicles fit in a regular parking stall, and such parking is permitted by City Code. There should be no more than two such vans kept on the property. Grading - Site grading was constructed with previous development. The site generally slopes from south to north to south, with elevations ranging from 946 to 921. The preliminary grading plan is acceptable, with modification. All public and private streets, drainage systems, and utilities necessary to provide service to this development should be designed and certified by a registered professional engineer in accordance with City adopted codes, engineering standards, guidelines, and policies. A detailed land disturbance and erosion control plan should be prepared in accordance with current City land disturbance and erosion control regulations prior to final plat approval. All erosion/ sediment control plans submitted for development and grading permits should be prepared by a designer who has received current Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) training, or approved equal training as determined by the City Engineer in designing stornwater pollution prevention plans. Also, all personnel responsible for the installation of erosion/ sediment control devices, and the establishment of vegetation for the development, should have received Erosion/Sediment Control Inspector/Installer certification through the University of Minnesota, or approved equal training as determined by the City Engineer. Wetlands — Because there are no wetlands on site, City Code §11.67, wetland protection and management regulations, does not apply. Stormwater Management/Water Quality — The applicant proposes to a new development on vacant property, resulting in 0.74 acres of new impervious surface, and an additional 0.71 acres of disturbed/graded soils, on the 1.45 -acre site. This new development will need to comply with the City's Post Construction Stormwater Management Requirements (City Code §4.34) for Planning Report — Prestige Preschool July 28, 2015 Page 5 stormwater management and surface water quality, including Runoff Rate Control and 1.1" Volume Control (including Soil Management Strategies to restore permeability to disturbed soils that are to be revegetated). The applicant proposes to meet City water quality requirements through construction of one vegetated infiltration basin with one sump manhole upstream of the basin inlet for pretreatment. Rate control is proposed to be provided by the infiltration basin. Eagan Water Resources has reviewed the applicant's plans, stormwater design summary and modeling provided for stonnwater management and finds the proposed plans to meet City Code §4.34 Post -Construction Stormwater Management Requirements are acceptable with conditions to ensure infiltration capability, stable inlet, effective pre-treatment, effective soil remediation to restore soil permeability (on all disturbed soils that are to be revegetated), construction techniques, staging and oversight, and future maintenance for continued function. Storm Water Drainage — The entire site lies within Drainage District B (as designated in the City Stone Water Management Plan — 2007). The preliminary stone drainage plan is acceptable. Private stone sewer would be installed throughout the site, and be directed into an infiltration basin to be built at the north end of the parcel. The infiltration basin would be connected to the public stone sewer along Knob Drive, which ultimately flows to city pond BP -27 to the west. Utilities — The preliminary utility plan is acceptable, with modification. Lateral sanitary sewer and water main service stubs of sufficient size, depth, and capacity are available for connection by this development. Sanitary sewer District N (as designated in the City's Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan) serves the entire site. This development should provide hydrant spacing and locations in accordance with City Fire Department and Public Works standards. In 2004, the Eagan Technology Task Force recommended that broadband and fiber optic telecommunications networks be expanded in the city wherever possible. The applicant should submit a proposal/infrastructure plan to be approved by staff to provide telecommunications fiber to the premises (FTTP) The applicant should provide such a plan for review and approval by City staff. This development should include the installation of fiber optic cable, or a conduit for future installation, in its construction plans at the time of Building Permit. Streets/Access/Pedestrian Circulation — The proposal includes a looped driveway with two access locations on Knob Drive. Construction of those driveways will require removal of concrete curb and gutter along Knob Drive. The developer should be responsible to restore the street, curb and gutter, and boulevard in a manner acceptable to the City Engineer. An existing bituminous trail is located along the western boulevard of Pilot Knob Road. No new pedestrian facilities are proposed with this development. Easements/ Permits/ Right -of -Way — Public drainage & utility easements currently exist along the perimeter of this parcel, and no new easements are needed. Dakota County's long tern plan Planning Report — Prestige Preschool July 28, 2015 Page 6 includes widening Pilot Knob Road, which would likely require the acquisition of approximately an additional 4-0 25-35 feet of right-of-way from this property. This development should be responsible for the acquisition of all regulatory agency permits required by the affected agency prior to the issuance of a building permit. Landscaping/Screening — The landscape plan appears acceptable. The plan shows a variety of deciduous and evergreen shrubs, trees and perennials throughout the property. The east and west sides of the site are proposed to be landscaped with a continuous row of dogwood and arbor vitae between the parking lot and streets. Shade trees are proposed around the edge of the playground area and along the east side of the building. Shade trees also line the parking lot. The narrow north end of the property includes a few ornamental and evergreen trees near the stonnwater basin. Both the trash enclosure and transformer equipment are landscaped with screening plant materials. Automatic irrigation should be provided for all landscaped areas. A financial guarantee for installation of the landscaping should be provided in accordance with the City's Landscape Ordinance, at the time of Building Permit. Building Elevations/Architecture — The proposed building architecture is quasi -residential with a brick and siding exterior, pitched roof and asphalt shingles. Two types of Class 1 materials (brick and glass) are utilized, along with a Class III material, (LP Smart Side, an engineered wood lap siding). The mechanical well screen wall and decorative dormers break up the roof line, and utilize the same LP Smart Side lap siding as elsewhere on the building. The ordinance requirements pertaining to LB zoning requires at least two Class I materials shall be utilized, comprising at least 65% of the building, and up to 35% of the building may be comprised of Class III or N materials. The project architect indicates that Class I materials cover 59.69% of the building. The project architect has included the insulated steel doors in the Class I calculations due to their durability; typically the doors would be classified as a Class III or accent material. The brick is concentrated on the longer east and west building walls. The Class III lap siding contributes to the quasi -residential architecture, and is used primarily on the north and south elevations, as well as in the roof peaks and decorative dormers. The north and south elevations are the shorter ends of the building, and the south wall in particular faces a 10' high retaining wall, limiting visibility of that facade. The acceptability of the proposed building design is a policy matter for City officials. While the proposed building does not fully comply with the materials finish standards of the City Code, the deviation to the building materials ratios can be accommodated within the Planned Development. Mechanical Equipment — City Code requires a minimum 30" parapet or screen wall for new buildings, and that rooftop mechanical units be placed at least 20' from the edge of the building. The building architecture provides a pitched roof design with a screen wall around a mechanical well designed to hold the rooftop equipment. The mechanical well is in the center of the Planning Report — Prestige Preschool July 28, 2015 Page 7 building, the screen wall is greater than 30" height is part of the roof design, and is made of materials that match other architectural features of the building. A ground mounted electrical transformer is located off the northeast corner of the building. The landscape plan shows landscaping on all four sides of the transformer; three of which include evergreen shrubs. Trash/Recycling Enclosure — City Code requires that trash be stored indoors or within an enclosure attached to the building in commercial developments. In addition, the enclosure must be large enough to enclose both trash and recyclable materials containers. Trash storage is proposed to be within an enclosure attached to the northwest corner of the building. The trash enclosure should be constructed of brick to snatch the building, with an opaque gate that is compatible with the building finish materials. Building Address Numbers — Building address numbers should be installed consistent with the provisions of Section 2.78 of City Code. Lighting — The City Code states "Site lighting is required as is necessary for security, safety and traffic circulation. Such illumination shall be indirect and diffused or shielded. Lighting shall not be directed upon public rights-of-way or adjacent properties and the source of light shall not be visible from off the property." The Site Lighting Plan proposes LED light fixtures on a 20' pole, and wall packs on the building. The photometric plan appears acceptable. Minimum illumination levels of 0.5 footcandles are indicated throughout the parking lot, with light levels near one footcandle at the site perimeter, and near zero on the west side adjacent to Knob Drive. Within the parking area, the average to minimum ratio is 3.86, indicating an acceptable of uniformity throughout. Signage — The proposed sign package appears acceptable. City Code allows one monument sign and up to three building signs on two building elevations. The submitted sign package proposes one building sign on the north facade on the gable wall over the front building entrance. The wall sign is internally illuminated, and is 53 s.f. in area. A monument sign is proposed on the west side of the property along Knob Drive. The proposed monument consists of a 2'6" base, and a 36" high sign face. The monument is proposed to meet the minimum 10' setback from the right-of-way. The monument sign base should be constructed of a masonry material to match the brick on the principal building. Financial Obligation — At this time, there are no pending assessments on the parcel. Based upon a study by City staff of the financial obligations collected in the past and proposed use for the property, all trunk utility fees have been previously collected for this property. Planning Report — Prestige Preschool July 28, 2015 Page 8 Tree Preservation — There are no tree preservation issues associated with this development proposal. Parks and Recreation — The development is subject to cash park and trail dedications payable at the time of Building Permit at the rates then in effect. The 2015 park dedication rate is $865 per 1,000 s.f. of building, and trail dedication is $1,251 per net acre of land area. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Shingobee Builders is requesting approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow an approximately 10,400 s.f. single -story childcare facility upon the property at 4150 Knob Drive. The Knob Hill Planned Development was established in 1984 and specified the permitted use as a one-story 5,000 s.f. office building. The proposed childcare facility appears to be compatible with adjacent uses and the underlying land use designation. The building is designed with a quasi -residential character to blend with both existing commercial uses in the area and the residential development to the west. The applicant is proposing a deviation from finish materials standards, and the Site Plan shows some deviations to setbacks which result from the triangular shape of the parcel. Such deviations are a policy matter for City officials, and can be accommodated within the Planned Development zoning. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow the development of an approximately 10,400 s.f. single -story childcare facility upon property located at 4150 Knob Drive. Approval of the Planned Development Amendment simultaneously constitutes the Final Planned Development for the property. If approved the following conditions shall apply: 1. A Final Planned Development Agreement shall be executed and recorded with the Dakota County Recorder's office. The following exhibits shall be required for the Agreement: • Final Site Plan • Final Building Elevations • Final Signage Plan • Final Landscape Plan • Final Site Lighting Plan 2.

Julie Strid From: Mike Ridley ,nt: Thursday, July 30, 2015 1:29 PM i o: Pam Dudziak Cc: Julie Strid Subject: FW: Prestige Preschool Academy From: Cheryl Stevenson On Behalf Of City Council Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2015 8:57 AM To: Jon Hohenstein; Mike Ridley; Dave Osberg Subject: FW: Prestige Preschool Academy From: a. bour(acomcast.net [mailto:a.bour(Thcomcast.net] Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2015 8:45 AM To: City Council Subject: Prestige Preschool Academy Dear; Mayor Mike Maguire I would like the opportunity to voice my concerns at the up coming August city council meeting on the submitted application for the day care proposed at 4150 Knob Dr. -The size of the building (10,400 sq ft) that is zoned for a building less then half that size. There most have been a good reason for the city of Eagan to zone this land to have a maximum size building of 5,000 sq -The amount of added traffic on our small street. Our street is used as a cut through for both Diffley Road and Pilot Knob Drive, to avoid the stop lights. -The number of parking spaces for a building of this size. They are not allowing enough parking, the developer is stating that the some of employees will us public transit to and from work, there is no public transit in this part of Eagan. -Where they will put the snow and the number of parking spaces lost on the average because of snow plowing. In viewing the proposed plans they have no choice but to store the snow in the parking lot, which will take away from the small amount of spaces available. -Number of employees to parking spaces, along with 24/7 parking for the day care transport vans (no room for parent parking). In looking at other day cares of this size the employees and company vans take up the majority of the spaces and these facilities have more parking then what is planned for with this building. -The number of young kids allowed for by the state of Minnesota based on the building size. The developer is saying they are planning for 200 kids, the state will allow them up to 224 kids, that means around 125 to 200 addition cars using this already busy street and again not enough parking in the peak times of pick up and drop off. -The set backs the city planners are permitting the building and trash are to be. The planners are allowing the building and enclosed trash area to be closer to the property line then what the city normally would allow (which means again the building is to large for the property). Will the enclosed trash area gates face the street? Which then means the trucks will need to block the street when picking up because it will sit so close to the street )elivers How will the center handle food and supplies deliveries? We do not see on the plan an area for the trucks to pull in and out. Will they be parking on the street, will they be pulling into a parking area not friendly to large trucks. We all would like to see this property be developed. But it needs to be size appropriate for this odd shaped piece of land. This is something that can not be undone, if the city finds after the fact it did not make since to permit such a large building for the area. We the residence will be stuck with this decision long after the City Council has moved on. respectfully Tony Bour 4161 Knob Dr. Eagan MN 55122 2 ea ell a Ism warm atu Millon EMI■ ® IV mil 4147 J 41114trttal sD 'VP 9* &Pa -: liWearet. 5■1° 'Fe• w 00 '000 DRIV 114 1110 If 2 ® _ 1IIT MMININ Su Penned Z Park glia nor ®.„, s F FRID '") **OSA Sub lor so 000.00 199 Es / � ro: Site 0 Q 4, -Ull V El EMIR ALSA STREET A BUR `0 J OS CIR W > 0 0 rain 111111 ran WALFRID Evergreen Park 4- 0 diahitibrir 4,‹ MOO& 0 EASTER LANE c SiiiiE iiiiiiNIIIIII At#rau - J nsIniri#2 y '‘sap 1111111111VOSIErs MA V it CLEOME LANE Park # k CO • LANE COS OS LANE hilt PrA ®®uL® AMARYLLIS LANENE 11**" Mnigiiiii1111145 11111 DIMIS > Carson Lake Park �i�_�CARL >- 0 N LAKE City of Cap Location Map Project Name: Prestige Preschool Request: PD Amendment Case No: 21 -PA -05-06-15 11 ;0JR NDMley ' "it' F Lone Oak Rd_ Yankee Doodle.

VELECTRIC BIGN PAGE: L3 8h n bee integrity. The Cornerstone, MEMORANDUM To: City of Eagan Planning Commission From: Jon Fahning, Vice President — Real Estate Development Date: June 26, 2015 Re: Request for PUD Amendement — Prestige Preschool Academy Submittal Narrative On behalf of our tenant, Prestige Preschools Academy, Shingobee Real Estate Company, LLC/Shingobee Builders, Inc. are proposing the development and construction of a child care facility as part of the 1.44 acreas of vacant land (PID#104260002030) near the northwest corner of Pilot Knob Road and Diffley Road. Our request is for the amendement to the Knob Hill Professional Park PUD to allow the construction and development of a single -story childcare facility up to 10,000 sf. This location will be part of the Prestige Preschools portfolio within the Twin Cities metro area, with a recent facility under construction in Apple Valley and one recently completed in Brooklyn Park. Six to eight additional facilities are anticipate for the metropolitan area, including the Eagan trade area. Request Detail The amendment to the PUD will allow the construction and development of a single story childcare facility estimated at 10,000 sf, deviating from the 5,000 sf facility defined in the Knob Hill Professional Park PUD. The facility proposed would be licensed to provide educational and childcare services for up to 206 children, including infant care, private kindergarten, along with before and after school, and half day programs. In addition to the building, the development of the site would accommodate playgrounds, outside play area, and adequate parking to service the intended use of the property as depicted in the proposed site plan included as part of the submittal package. The construction of the property is intended to start Fall, 2015, and is anticipated to be completed and delivered to our tenant near June 1, 2016, to allow for opening in Summer, 2016. Design, review and final licensing of the facility will determine the final square footage and in turn, the license capacity of the facility. In addition to the amendment to allow an approximate 10,000 square foot facililty, we are requesting a reduction in the setback to accommodate the facility as depicted in the site plan. With the site being of a long and narrow configuration, along with setback requirements from Pilot Knob Road (50') and Knob Drive (30'), our tenant deviated from our protypical building of 10,816 square feet to approximately 10,000 sf. This allows them to substantially reduce the encroachment in the setback Construction 1 Project. Management 1 Real Estate Development. 669 North Medina Street P.O. Box 8 Loretto, MN 55357 763.479.1300 763.479.326 r£ew.shingobee.coe City of Eagan Planning Commission June 26, 2015 Page 2 to small portions of the building while maitaing the license capacity of 206 children to maintain the financial feasibility of the business. Finally, the arnmendment to the PUD also requests tallowing a minimal reduction to the building setbacks allow for the site to accommodate the parking, open space, and play area required by the City of Eagan and Minnesota Department of Health in relation to the facility licensing. As seen in the ALTA Survey included in our submittal, the placement and construction of the dental building and its retaining wall to the south of subject property was placed on and over the property line. The proximity to the property line and construction of retaining wall onto subject property forced the move of the proposed building to the south. This move resulted in the encroachment of setbacks on both east and west sides. We have made every attempt to minimize the encroachment while still maintaining the functioality of the project. Impact to Area Currently near the site, there is a mix of single family residential, commercial, and retail uses. The development of this property is intented to blend in both functionally and aesthetically with the surrounding properties and uses. The anticpated impact to the site would be one in a positive nature, providing additional services to the needs and desires of the residents of the area while enhancing the current businesses in the area. The proposed use would also provide a positive change to the property tax levy on this property. The intent of the location is to build the business based on the current population in the ara while also capturing opportunities from the current traffic patterns of both Diffley Road and Pilot Knob Road. With the facility operating from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM Monday thru Friday and closed on weekends, we see a positive impact to the surrounding businesses based on the enrollment strategy of the facility and a source to additional patrons to the surrounding businesses. Traffic Flow The following provides a detailed description of the traffic flow related to the site, modeling after similar locations that are currently in operation. The information below provides insight on the process related to the drop-off and pick-up of the students via the Knob Drive access points: • Parents/guardians are required to physically bring their child into the center and sign them in both with a written signature as well as on our touch screen login system. The process of pick up is similar. This process generally takes from 3 to 5 minutes. Pickup usually takes from 4 to 6 minutes as teachers give the pick-up person a summary of the days' activities, work done during the day and/or homework. • Prestige buses pick children up at the elementary schools in the area and transport them to the preschool at different times of the day depending on demand. Depending on demand children may be transported to the elementary school in the morning while others may be dropped off at the elementary schools by their parents and brought to the facility for after school programs only and require pick-up only. After school children usually arrive at the center City of Eagan Planning Commission June 26, 2015 Page 3 between 2:30 and 3:OOpm, during non -peak periods. After use the buses are parked at the far end of the parking lot away from traffic as part of the staff parking area. • Staff members will park in the areas furthest from the entrance and on the side opposite the entrance to allow parents bringing children into the preschool to park closer to the entrance. The northern end of the property/parking area will be designated for staff parking. This allows parents/guardians bringing their children into the preschool to avoid crossing traffic as they move from their cars to the entrance of the building and vice versa. During peak hours of operation the number of staff on hand averages between 13 and 16. It is anticipated that staff will use local transportation while others carpool or often dropped off by a spouse or friend. • Parents/guardians pick up and drop off children throughout the day. A dozen or so families typically drop off early and leave late. Parents of half day children are generally picked up between 12:00 noon and 12:30pm. The heaviest drop off time is between 8:00 a.m. and 9:45am. The peak pick up time is between 4:30 p.m. and 5:45pm. The number of parents/guardians bringing children into the preschool or picking up at the same time usually peaks for a full center at about 10 to 15. Since there are no specific times for classes to begin or end at the preschool, parents and children arrive with and / or leave with their children at staggered times. This fact along with the requirement that children are signed in individually with their parent or guardian parking in the parking lot alleviates concern regarding stacking and traffic. After 6:30 p.m. during weekdays and all through the weekend there is no traffic generated. Part of the reason for our site selection was to support the area and supplement the existing business in the area. With many of the students and their families live in the nearby communities, a certain amount of foot traffic, based on the path and trail system of the City of Eagan, will be utilized. In addition, with our location adjacent to a series of businesses and retail uses, our location will provide the ability for families to drop-off and pick-up based on current use of the facility, reducing additional trips. Benefit to Area and City of Eagan and its Residents The orginally intended use of the property was that of a general commercial type facility, as depicted in the original PUD. The proposed facility and its use would fall into that original intent. It is understood that the current infrastructure (water, sewer, storm water run-off, and roadways) in place was designed to accommodate a commercial -type use, which our proposed function and design would fall into and anticipate operating within the current capacity of the infrastructure in place. City of Eagan Planning Commission June 26, 2015 Page 4 The benefit to the area will be provided both from an aesthetic and strategic business increase. The design of the building is intended to blend in with the surrounding commercial and residential neighborhood facilities, which are diverse in nature. Additionally, the development of this site as a childcare facility will continue to demonstrate the growth and focus of the community while completing the development of Knob Hill Professional Park in which this property has been sitting vacant for many years. With the facility's exposure on Pilot Knob Road and safe vehicular and pedestrian access from both Pilot Knob Road and Diffely Road, we anticipate a positive addition to the neighborhood retail vision of this area. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or requirement of further clarifications or information. I can be reached via phone, (763) 479-5637, or email, jfahning@shingobee.com.

Many of my clients currentlt have difficulty seeing us from Pilot Knob Road as we are only a one-story building, We have a building sign a a sign in the front yard.to help our clients find our location.. The proposed building will place the parking lot and playground between our building and Pilot Knob Road. There is also a 6 foot fence proposed around the playground, which will further hinder our visibility from the road. As our business depends on our visibility to our clients, we are very concerned about the Impact this development will have on us. I would like to propose that the new development allows for signage to be built in the boulevard next to Pilot Knob Road for businesses that will be affected by their building. This way we can keep our visibility to our clientele. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, • .., Dr nnifer Yip Owner and veterinarian at Pilot Knc b Animal Hospital if 4165 Knob Drive Eagan, MN 55122 July 30, 2015 Mayor Mike Maguire Councilmember Paul Bakken Councllmember Cyndee Fields Councilmember Gary Hansen Councilmember Meg Tilley Eagan City Hall 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 Mayor Maguire, Councilmember Bakken, Councilmember Fields, Councilmember Hansen, and Councilmember Tilley, Regarding the Application for a Planned Development Amendment (File Number 21 -PA -05-0615) that Shingobee'Builders has submitted to the City, and is scheduled to appear on the Monday, August.3, City Council agenda, we would like to present a number of areas of concern that the members of the neighborhood have with the plan, The Knob Hill Professional Park Planned Development Agreement has been in place since 1985 and was an important part of the decision-making process when we extended our offer to purchase one of the residential lots within the Knob Hill Professional Park over 20 years ago. This Agreement designated that the lot that Is the subject of the application is planned for development of a 5,000 square foot, single story office building. The City denied a previous development proposal in 2002 due to the proposed size of the building, •insufficient parking, and issues with setbacks. We maintain that those same adverse conditions exist with this planned development, and that because of those factors, as well as additional issues with the current development plan, which we present here, this Amendment Application should be denied. The concerns that we have include: • the proposed deviation from the size of the building as stated in the Knob Hill Professional Park Planned Development Agreement being over double the planned 5,000 sq. ft. building, • the planned licensing of the daycare facility for 206 children, which would actually allow for up to 224 children (state licensing capacity range is 200 to 224 children), • the impact of the increase in traffic on an already heavily traveled street (It is used as a shortcut between Pilot Knob Road and Diffley Road by drivers who do not want to deal with the stoplights at the intersection of the two roads), • 31 parking spaces, which is insufficient for the number of staff and families enrolled at the daycare, • lack of overflow parking for special events at the daycare facility, • safety issues resulting from unacceptable use of on -street parking, • insufficient setbacks, including the setback for the trash receptacles, which are placed directly across from the residential area, with no plans for odor control or remediation, IJ • the real estate developer's assumptions regarding: O staff use of local transportation (there are no bus routes in our neighborhood, or in close proximity on Pilot Knob Rd. or on Diffley Rd.) and carpooling, • the amount of time involved in dropping off and picking up children from daycare at which time cars need a place to park, o the plan that that staff and clients would be walking to the daycare rather than taking cars, which is impractical and unsafe because of the lack of sidewalks on Knob Drive, • the daycare company does not have an established market in Minnesota, • the lack of involvement of the daycare owners in this process, and • the stated Intention of the real estate developer not to be involved in this investment long- term. Given Eagan's changing demographics, it is likely that this facility will face alternate uses in the future. The uses would be limited, given the building's proposed size with only 31 parking spaces. We feel that the planners who developed the original .plan got it right the first time. The size and shape of the lot are suited for the 5,000 sq. ft. size of the building that the original plan anticipated. That size would also allow for sufficient parking spaces on the remaining land to support the usage of a building that size. We are not opposed to a daycare, or to the development of the lot in general; we just want to see that it is done in a way that is proportionate to the size of the lot. We respectfully request that the Mayor and the Council reject the Application for the Planned Development Amendment, and maintain the current plan for this site. Sincerely, Dennis J.

Respectfully Tony Bour 4161 Knob Dr, Eagan MN 55122 https ://web.nlail. corcast.netlzimbra/h/printmessage?id =3 3 0025 &tz =America/Chicago &xi... 7/30/2015 July 26, 2015 Mark Oliver 4169 Knob Dr Eagan, MN 55122 Dear Eagan City Planners Re; 4150 Knob Dr Project Our family is resident of Eagan, residing at 4169 Knob Drive since August 2000, We were aware of the plans on the Knob Hill Professional Planned Development when we made the decision to purchase our property. We obviously were aware that our street was a mixture -of residential and business. However the proposed Planned Development Amendment is causing our family great concern, The Planned Development Amendment is primarily attempting to revise the SF of the facility from 5000 SF to 10,400 SF. Traffic, Knob Drive is a cut -through .between Pilot Knob and Diffley Road. There is no posted speed limit. There is no center line. There are no sidewalks on Knob Drive. We have a significant amount of traffic cutting through during the work time commute 7:30 am -- 9:00 and 3:30 -- 6:30 PM. We have had more than our share of close calls with cars speeding through at speeds up over 50 MPH. The proposed full enrollment for the Prestige center is 204. This is going to result in an additional 100 families dropping off children on Knob Dr during the peak commute time. It was our understanding that the Planned Development was for a Business space which would have customers which appointments more evenly spaced throughout the day Parking. We understand that the code is dictating a requirement for 41 parking spaces at the facility. With an enrollment of 204 students, that Is going to dictate by licensing a student/teacher ratio such that the staff is going to require at least 30 parking spaces. I see the applicant has calculated that pickup/drop time is such that the amount of simultaneous parking spaces required Is only 10-15 spaces. As a parent who did daycare for 6 years this Is not realistic. Are most recent experience was at Primrose on Johnny Cake Ridge road in Eagan, Primrose has 41 parking spots and similar enrollment. Routinely at pickup between 6-6:15 PM I was forced to park at the THINK bank or CVS parking lots. It would have been very concerning to me if I was forced into a street parking situation. The center will have programs and dance recitals etc that will drive the requirement for many more parking spots than can be provided an the land parcel. We believe the original planners who generated the Planned Development took this into account in dictating the 5000 SF design, The City of Eagan denied a proposed office building in 2002 for the same logic, We are concerned that is is unsafe to be parking Knob Drive for overflow due to multitude of cars speeding by.

The neighborhood is united in its concern that when this site is developed, it is done so with a building that is right -sized for the lot, with adequate parking and setbacks, so it will not disrupt the existing neighborhood, and will not cause additional traffic and safety issues. The neighbors are not opposed to the development of this site, but want it to be done according to the existing Knob Hill Professional Park Development Plan. We feel that the plan put forth by Shingobee Builders presents significant challenges due to the deviations from the original plan and the type of development they are planning. We respectfully request your careful consideration of the numerous concerns that we have with the plan put forth by Shingobee Builders, as outlined in the letters, We will attend the City Council Meeting on Monday, Aug. 3, at which time we hope to be able to discuss the issue with the City Council If, in the meantime, you have any questions regarding the information included with this fax, please feel free to contact me at the number listed below.

The Knob Hill Professional Park Planned Development Agreement has been in place since 1985 and was an important part of the decision-making process when we extended our offer to purchase one of the residential lots within the Knob Hill Professional Park over 20 years ago. This Agreement designated that the lot that Is the subject of the application Is planned for development of a 5,000 square foot, single story office building. The City denied a previous development proposal in 2002 due to the proposed size of the building, insufficient parking, and issues with setbacks. We maintain that those same adverse conditionsexist with this planned development, and that because of those factors, as well as additional issues with the current development plan, which we .present here, this Amendment Application should be denied. The concerns that we have include: • the proposed deviation from the size of thebuilding as stated in the Knob Hill Professional Park Planned Development Agreement being over double the planned 5,000 sq. ft. building, the planned licensing of the daycare facility for 206 children, which would actually allow for up to 224 children (state licensing capacity range is 200 to 224 children), • the impact of the Increase in traffic on an already heavily traveled street (it is used as a shortcut between Pilot Knob Road and Diffley Road by drivers who do not want to deal with the stoplights at the intersection of the two roads), • 31 parking spaces, which is insufficient for the number of staff and families enrolled at the daycare, • lack of overflow parking for special events at the daycare facility, • safety issues resulting from unacceptable use of on -street parking, • insufficient. setbacks, including the setback for the trash receptacles, which are placed directly across from the residential area, with no plans for odor control or remediation, I V. Ive.Ly IVIVI I / IV/ IVVII I VIWV I V VI IV IV VI VI I,•VV.VV I I I 1 1,11 II. 1 \ .441 r II 1 laVV • the real estate developer's assumptions regarding: staff use of local transportation (there are no bus routes in our neighborhood, or In close proximity on .PilotKnob Rd. or an DIffley Rd.) and carpooling, O the amount of time involved in dropping off and picking up children from daycare at which time cars need a 1..Niace to park, O the plan that that staff and clients would be. walking to the daycare rather than taking cars, which Is impractical and unsafe because of the lack of sidewalks on Knoh Drive, the daycare company does not have an established market in Minnesota, the lack of involvement of the daycare owners in this process, and • the stated intention of the real estate developer not to be involved in this investment long- term. Given Eagan's changing demographics, it N likely that this facility will face alternate uses in the future. TheW05 would be limited, given the building's proposed size with only 31 parking spaces, We feel that the planners who developed the original plan got it right the first time. The size and shape of the lot are suited for the 51000 sq. ft. size of the building that the original plan anticipated, That size would also allow for sufficient parking spaces on the remaining land to support the usage of a building that size. We are not to a daycare, or tothe development of the lot in general; we just want to see that it is done in a way that is proportionate to the size of the lot. We respectfully request that the Mayor and the Council reject the Application for the Planned Deveiopment Amendment, and maintain the current pion fbr this site. Sincerely, 41) Dennis J.

There most have been a good reason for the dty of Eagan to zone this land to have a maximum size building of 5,000 so it, The amount of added traffic on our small street. Our street is used as a cut through for both Dlffley:Road and Pilot Knob Drive, to avoid the stop lights, The number of parking spaces for a building of this size. They are not allowing enough parking„ the developer is stating that the some of employees will us public transit to and from work, there is no public transit in this part of Eagan, -Where they will put the snow and the number of parking spaces tort an the average because of snow plowing. In viewing the proposed pians they have no choice but to stare the snow in the parking lot, which will take away fmrn the small amount of spaces available, -Number of employees to parking spaces, along with 24/? parking for the day care transport vans (no room for parent.parking). In looking at other day cares of this size•the employees and company vans take up the majority of the sip= and these facilities have rnore parking then what is planned this building. -he number of young kids allowed for by the state of Minnesota based on the building size. The developer is saying they are planning for 200 kids,the state wIU allow them up to 224 kids, that means around 125 to 200 addition cars using this already busy strut and again not enough perking In the peak times of pick up and drop off. -The set backs the dty planners are permitting the building and trash are to be. The planners are allowing the building and enclosed trash area to be. doser to the property line then what the city normally would allow (which means again the building is to large for the property). Will the enclosed fresh area gates face the street? which then means the trucks will need to block the street when picking up because it will stt so dose to the street -Delivers Flow wiil•the center handle food and supplies deliveries? We do not SOC on. the plan an area for the bucks to pull in and out, Will they be parking on the street, will they be pulling into a parking area not friendly to large trucks. We all would like to see this property be developed, But it needs to be size appropriate for this odd shaped piece of land. Thts:is something that can not be undone, .if the dty finds after the fact it did not snake since to permit such a large building for the area.

We were aware of the plans on the Knob Hill Professional Planned Development when we made the decision to purchase our property. We obviously were aware that our street was a mixture of residential and business, However the proposed .Planned Development Amendment is causing our family great concern. The Planned Development Amendment is primarily attempting to revise the 5F of the facility from 5000 SF to 10,400 SF. Traffic, Knob Drive is a cut -through between Pilot Knob and Diffley Road. There is no posted speed limit. There is no center line. There are no sidewalks on Knob Drive. We have a significant amount of traffic cutting through during the work time commute 7:30 am — 9:00 and 3:30 — 6:30 PM. We have had more than our share of close calls with cars speeding through at speeds up over 50 MPH. The proposed full enrollment for the Prestige center is 204, This is going to result in an additional 100 families dropping off children on Knob Dr during the peak commute time. It was our understanding that the Planned Development was for a Business space vvhich would have customers which appointments more evenly spaced throughout the day Parking. We understand that the code Is dictating a requirement for 41 parking spaces at the facility. With an enrollment of 204 students, that is going to dictate by licensing a student/teacher ratio such •that the star is going to require at least 30 parking spaces. 1 see the applicanthas calculated that pickup/drop time is such that the amount of simultaneous .parking spaces required is only 10-15 spaces. As a parent who did daycare for 6 years this is not realistic. Are most recent experience was at Primrose on Johnny Cake Ridge road in Eagan. Primrose has 41 parking spots and similar enrollment. Routinely at pickup between 6-6:15 PM 1 was forced to park at the THINK bank or CVS parking lots, It would have been very. concerning to me if I was forced into a street parking situation. The center will have programs and dance recitals etc that will drive the requirement for many more parking spots than can be provided on the land parcel. We believe the original planners who generated the Planned Development took this into account in dictating the 5000 SF design. The City of Eagan denied a proposed office building in 2002 for the same logic. We are concerned that Is is unsafe to be parking Knob Drive for overflow due to multitude of cars speeding by, I S./.

My understanding is ( at there will be.30 employees and 31 parking spaces. Some of those 31 spaces would be handicap spots, so there would seemingly not be enough parking even for employees. Mass transit would never be used for a day care facility in this area and there would rarely, if ever, be a family who would ever walk. Parents dropping off and picking up their children would be parking somewhere, either in the fire lanes of their lot or on the street. The peak times would see a great deal of this type of congestion. This would be a safety issue for the pedestrians, who would include many young children. My parking lot is directly across the street from this planned facility and there would likely be unauthorized use of my lot as well, which could impact my business. I am also opposed to the granting of any variance for the size of the building given the lot size. The ordinances in place were passed for reasons of having appropriate buildings on any given lot with many issues in mind, including parking. These should not be ignored for a development, especially when the safety of children is put at risk.

None of the Daycare Centers or Preschools are accessed from neighborhood streets. b. Parking i. 24 of 25 Day Care Centers and Preschools have overflow, off-street parking available, ii. 1 Daycare Center does not, 1. It has the same number of parking spots as are proposed for this development, 2. Has a student capacity size that is Tess than 1/2 the capacity proposed for Prestige Preschool Academy. c. Size comparisons — Daycare Centers with Comparable Child Capacity Daycare Center Area of Parcel Building Size Capacity Density Ratio Southwest YMCA Opperman Drive Prestige Preschool Academy (Proposed) Knob Drive 22.10 acre complex 1.44 acres Primrose School 2.56 acres Johnny Cake Ridge Rd.

This means that the combined space for the necessary indoor and outdoor facilities, including parking, facility needs such as the garbage enclosure, outdoor play areas, and green space, etc. is at or Tess than half of what is available at other comparable day care centers in Eagan. Note: (1) The Southwest YMCA Child Care Center is housed in the Southwest YMCA Campus, so, while specific daycare area comparisons are not possible, please note the size of the campus, including the parking, are indicators that space at this facility is proportionally greater than the proposed space for the Prestige Preschool Academy development. We would like to go on record before the Eagan City Council on Tuesday, August 18, 2015, as objecting to the application by Shingobee Real Estate Developers for a Planned Development Amendment related to the development of the property located at 4150 Knob Drive; Lot 3, Block 2, Knob Hill Professional Park. We respectfully request that the Mayor of Eagan and the Eagan City Council members deny the application.

NEW BUSINESS A. COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, EASEMENT VACATION AND FINAL PLAT — MN AUSTISM CENTER/RYAN COMPANIES US, INC Actions To Be Considered: To implement (or direct preparation of Findings of Fact for Denial) a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from MU (Mixed Use) to QP (Public/Quasi-Public), upon approximately 6.5 acres generally located west of 3800 Tesseract Place. To approve (or direct preparation of Findings of Fact for Denial) a Preliminary Planned Development to allow a high school and school campus, upon approximately 12.5 acres generally located west of 3800 Tesseract Place, subject to the conditions listed in the APC minutes. To approve (or direct preparation of Findings of Fact for Denial) a Rezoning from CGD, Cedar Grove District, to PD, Planned Development, upon approximately 12.5 acres generally located west of 3800 Tesseract Place. To approve an Easement Vacation of public easements on Outlot A & Lot 1, Block 1, Tesseract Addition, and to vacate Tesseract Place public right-of-way. To approve (or direct preparation of Findings of Fact for Denial) a Final Plat (Central Park Commons) to create a single parcel upon approximately 12.5 acres generally located west of 3800 Tesseract Place, subject to the conditions listed in the APC minutes. Required Vote For Approval: ➢ Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendments — At least four votes ➢ Preliminary Planned Development — Majority of Councilmembers present ➢ Rezoning — At least three votes ➢ Final Plat and Easement Vacation — Majority of Councilmembers present General: > MN Autism Center is proposing to develop an approximately 48,000 s.f. high school building, athletic field and parking lot to create a school campus with their existing facility located at 3800 Tesseract Place. The undeveloped portion consists of 6.5 acres. The entire site comprises 12.5 acres. > The City Council initiated a rezoning of 128 acres of land in 2003 which included the subject property. The property is currently zoned CGD (Cedar Grove District). • The property is part of the Cedar Grove Commons Special Area plan. > The proposed educational use in inconsistent with the Cedar Grove Commons Special Area plan which identifies the subject area as office/business park. > The proposed use is considered "Provisional" within the Airport Noise Policy Zone 4 one -mile Buffer. > Sanitary sewer and water main are available to serve the property. Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment: > The Applicant is requesting a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from MU (Mixed Use) to QP (Public/Quasi-Public), for approximately 6.5 acres, the undeveloped site. > The Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing on the 6.5 acre proposal at the February 23, 2015 meeting, and did recommend approval on a 6-0 vote. > The City Council directed staff to submit the amendment to the Metropolitan Council on March 17, 2015. • The Metropolitan Council returned an approval letter for the 6.5 acres on June 1, 2015. The approval letter is attached. Preliminary Planned Development: > The proposed Preliminary Planned Development includes a school campus within the Cedar Grove District (CGD). A number of deviations to the CGD standards are requested with the school campus. > The deviations from CGD zoning include multiple buildings on one lot, setbacks exceeding the 0'-10' build -to line, building materials and architecture, signage, landscaping and parking. > The appropriateness of the proposed deviations is a matter for City Policymakers. > As a single-phase development, approval of the Preliminary Planned Development will simultaneously constitute the Final Planned Development approval with execution/recording of the Planned Development Agreement for the property. > The Advisory Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on the proposed Planned Development on July 28, 2015 and did recommend approval. Rezoning: > The Rezoning request from CGD, Cedar Grove District, to PD, Planned Development, accompanies the proposed Preliminary Planned Development. • The Advisory Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on the proposed rezoning on July 28, 2015 and did recommend approval. Easement vacation: > A vacation of easements throughout the site, and the vacation of Tesseract Place right-of-way, is proposed in conjunction with the dedication of required drainage and utility easements with the Tesseract 2nd Addition plat. > The purpose of the request is to allow the recording of a Final Plat of the property for the proposed Tesseract 2nd Addition as a planned development. > The request would vacate the existing drainage and utility easements and the Tesseract Place street right-of-way on the property. The vacations would clean up the proposed plat by avoiding any underlying recorded dedications. > The proposed Final Plat of Tesseract 2nd Addition will address and incorporate all necessary public drainage and utility easements on this property. > This vacation request has been reviewed by Public Works (Engineering Division) staff and found to be in order for favorable Council action to coincide with consideration of the Tesseract 2nd Addition. > On July 7, 2015, a Public Hearing was held and action was continued to coincide with future City Council consideration of the Tesseract 2nd Addition Final Plat. No objections have been received to date. Final Plat: > The site consists of a platted parcel, an outlot, and public right-of-way. The proposed Final Plat (Tesseract 2nd Addition) consolidates the parcels into one lot and vacates right-of-way that is no longer needed with the development. • The Advisory Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on the proposed Final Plat on July 28, 2015 and did recommend approval. Issues: • The City Council has broad latitude in defining permitted land uses for property in the City through its Comprehensive Guide Plan. A property owner is not entitled to an amendment of the Plan, but may develop within the Plan's designations or provide justification for an amendment of the Plan. The adequacy of that justification is at the sole discretion of the City Council. At their March 17, 2015 meeting, the City Council questioned the impact on the tax increment financing (TIF) district and the potential impact from removal of property from the tax base and indicated their expectation of a payment in -lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement with the applicant. The applicant/developer has agreed to the payment plan recommended by the Finance Committee. ➢ The applicant has submitted a request to modify condition number 12 which pertains to wall signage. The intent of the CGD sign standards is to provide signage at a pedestrian scale; however, the proposed development does not have a zero setback and is dissimilar to the development occurring in the core area of the Cedar Grove District. City Policymakers should determine if the signage as proposed is appropriate. ➢ The applicant has also submitted a request to modify condition number 14 which pertains to the billboard. The City Code requires billboard signs on undeveloped property to be removed upon development. Due to a contractual obligation, the applicant has proposed removal of the billboard prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy. City Policymakers should determine if the modification to the condition to extend the billboard removal is appropriate. ➢ The applicant has also asked that a modification occur to Final Plat condition number 3, requiring the incorporation of the small triangular-shaped parcel adjacent to the Outlot into the Final Plat. The applicant has provided information regarding the complexity of this issue and has asked that the deadline for re -platting also be extended to issuance of certificate of occupancy. City Policymakers should determine if the platting extension as proposed is appropriate. 60 -Day Agency Action Deadline: ➢ Waived by Applicant Attachments: (8) NBA -1 Location Map NBA -2 Draft July 28, 2015 APC Minutes NBA -3 Planning Report NBA -4 Report Exhibits NBA -5 Final Plat —Tesseract 2nd Addition NBA -6 Easement Vacation legal Description Graphics NBA -7 Applicant letter -Conditions of City Council approval NBA -8 Applicant e-mail- signage Fort Snelling State Park City of Etaii Location Map Project Name: Mn Autism Center Request: Rezoning, Preliminary Planned Development and a Final Plat Case No: 19-RZ-02-05-15, 19 -PD -01-05-15 and 19 -FP -01-05-15 Woodhaven Park lIMMIliNIMI • )11111111110 ■ ■-• Vilna Legend Parcels Buildings Parks 4MINIMIL City Boundary 500 1,000 N I Feet 2,000 Advisory Planning Commission July 28, 2015 Page 7 of 15 B.

File Number: 19 -FP -01-05-15 Planner Thomas introduced this item and highlighted the information presented in the City Staff report dated July 17, 2015. The applicant, Dan Mueller of Ryan Companies, provided background information on the existing campus and discussed student safety as the items pertain to the proposed development and its design. Chair Filipi opened the public hearing. Member Sagstetter questioned the layout of the school in relation to parental pick up of the students. Mr. Mueller explained the circular pattern of the parking lot and drop off area of the new High School Discussion occurred regarding school; operations, specific site elements and building materials. Member Vanderpoel stated that the proposal was a better design for the school, and asked what the benefit of the PD (planned development) zoning was for the City given the long list of deviations. Mr. Mueller responded that Nicols Rd., designated as a low maintenance road, would not have access and therefore they have lessened the burden on the City to maintain that, and the existing Billboard, which is a great revenue source for the owner, would be removed. Member Vanderpoel moved, Member Dierkes seconded a motion to recommend approval of a Rezoning from CGD (Cedar Grove District) to PD (Planned Development). All voted in favor. Motion carried 5-0.

The subject site is located at 3800 Tesseract Place. Execution of the Planned Development Agreement will simultaneously constitute the Final Planned Development Agreement for the property. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Rezoning: City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subd. 5 states in part, 1. The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. 2. The City Council shall not rezone any land or area in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance without first having referred it to the planning commission for its consideration and recommendation. Planning Report — MN Autism Center July 28, 2015 Page 2 Planned Development: City Code Chapter 11.60, Subd. 18, A., states the intent of the Planned Development zoning district as follows: 1. Providing greater flexibility in environmental design and relaxation of strict application of the zoning ordinance in exchange for greater creativity and environmental sensitivity. 2. Recognizing the economic and cultural advantages that will accrue to the residents of a planned community. 3. Encouraging a more creative and efficient approach to the use of the land. 4. Encouraging the preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics, natural features, and open space. 5. Encouraging a development pattern that is consistent with land use density, transportation facilities and community facilities objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The subject property is zoned CGD (Cedar Grove District) and was platted in 1997. The eastern parcel, currently occupied by the MN Autism Center, was previously zoned I-1, Limited Industrial. The former use, Tesseract School, received approval to rezone the property to PD, Planned Development to allow the construction of the school in 1988. A PD Amendment to allow an expansion of the school was approved in 1997. The City Council initiated a rezoning of 128 acres of land in 2003 which included the subject property. The property was rezoned to CGD, Cedar Grove District. A Conditional Use Pen -nit (CUP) was approved in 2011 to allow a school in the CGD zoning district. The western parcel is an Outlot. EXISTING CONDITIONS The 12.5 acre site is comprised of two individual parcels and abuts public right-of-way on the north (Silver Bell Road), east (Tesseract Place), west (Nicols Road) and south (Highway 13) (not including the corner of Silver Bell Road/Nicols Road). All of these streets, save for Hwy 13, are currently classified as Local streets. A sidewalk extends along the south side of Silver Bell Road from Nicols Road to TH 13. The site contains multiple drainage and utility easements located over the northern half of the site. The southern portion of the property, adjacent to Highway 13, has an existing billboard that is accessed from Nicols Road. Planning Report —1\4N Autism Center July 28, 2015 Page 3 Site grading, installation of utilities (water, stone sewer, and sanitary sewer) and a stormwater pond, parking lots and an existing 34,000 sq. ft. school building were constructed with the original development of the eastern parcel (Lot 1, Block 1, Tesseract Addition). The western parcel, Outlot A, is currently undeveloped. The southern and western portions of the site have light tree coverage. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: EVALUATION OF REQUEST Description of Proposal — The proposed development consists of the construction of a 2 -story, 48,000 square foot high school building, an athletic field and a parking lot. The two separate parcels are proposed to be combined into one property to create a school campus. The applicant's narrative states "...the need for MAC's (Minnesota Autism Center) services is at an all-time high as ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is becoming more and more prevalent. It is estimated that 1 in every 68 children are diagnosed with ASD...with the expansion capacity, MAC will employ over 200 staff members at their Eagan location and treat well over 200 students." Compatibility with Surrounding Area — Surrounding development to the west includes a service garage. To the south, across Highway 13, is the Twin Cities Premium Outlet Mall. The property to the east is vacant. To the north, across Silver Bell Road are residential homes. Consistency with Comprehensive Guide Plan — This proposal should be evaluated on how well it achieves the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Guide Plan. On March 17, 2015, the City Council heard a request to amend the land use designation of the subject site from MU (Mixed Use) to QP (Public/Quasi-Public). The City Council indicated openness to an educational use in this location, pending review of a complete development application, and directed city staff to submit the amendment to the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council Review letter states the City may place this amendment into effect and offers advisory comments related to Existing Use Zoning Land Use Designation North Silver Bell Road, Wuthering Heights neighborhood R-1, Single-family residential LD, Low Density Residential East Vacant; L1, B1, Cedar Grove Gateway 1st Addition CGD, Cedar Grove District BP, Business Park South Hwy 13 West Goodyear service garage CGD, Cedar Grove District MU, Mixed Use EVALUATION OF REQUEST Description of Proposal — The proposed development consists of the construction of a 2 -story, 48,000 square foot high school building, an athletic field and a parking lot.

As is the City's practice, Council action to approve or deny the Comprehensive Plan Amendment will occur at the time the development application (Rezoning and PD) is considered by the Council. The City's 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan focused on three planning trends of Sustainability, Active Living, and Connectivity. These themes are woven throughout multiple chapters of the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan. In addition, the Cedar Grove Commons Special Area Plan includes specific goals and policies which include: ➢ to encourage a mixture of market -supportable land uses compatible with one another and with the surrounding area ➢ to protect long term vitality of residential areas adjacent to conunercial areas and consider the needs of existing businesses that are expected to remain within the redevelopment area ➢ to be attractive from Highway 77/Highway 13, as well as their primary access ➢ to incorporate sound attenuating construction techniques, as warranted, on new construction Planned Development and Public Benefit — The property is currently zoned CGD, Cedar Grove District. The CGD zoning district was established in 2002 as a tool to implement the principles of the Cedar Grove Design Framework for compact mixed-use development with an urban design that is pedestrian friendly. To this end, the CGD district establishes specific standards related to site planning, architecture, building materials, landscaping, signage and other elements. By its nature, the Cedar Grove Redevelopment District is expected to involve compact and more intense development than is the case in other areas of the City. While the CGD Zoning District permits that to occur, in order to be implemented, the details of individual developments may not align with all of the specific requirements of the Zoning District. As a consequence, the City anticipates that the developments within the district will reflect the general expectations of the Code, but will be implemented through Planned Development Zoning, with the specific plans being compared to the standards of that district as well as the redevelopment goals and principles of the Cedar Grove Commons Special Area Plan of the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan. Within the City Code, Planned Development zoning is provided as an option to permit consideration of development that may deviate from the strict application of the Code, in ways that benefit the property owner/developer and that benefit the City in consideration for permitting the deviations. The developer is requesting some deviations to typical Code requirements such as for multiple buildings on one lot, setbacks exceeding the 0'-10' build -to line, building materials and architecture, signage, landscaping and parking. This report evaluates the proposed Planned Development in comparison to the CGD zoning district and other City zoning standards, as well as the principles of both the Cedar Grove Commons Special Area Plan and the Cedar Grove Design Framework. Whether there are benefits that can be defined for the City for permitting the Planned Development zoning and deviations is a policy issue for decision makers. Planning Report — MN Autism Center July 28, 2015 Page 5 Rezoning and Preliminary Planned Development: Use — The CGD Zoning District allows schools via a conditional use. Term — Staff suggests a five-year term for this Planned Development. Conforming Plan — The applicant provided a Conforming Plan which includes a conforming Site Plan, Landscape Plan and building elevations. The Site Plan shows the building adjacent to the public right-of-way at the build -to line with parking behind the structure. The plans note complications with the conformation plans: Site Plan ➢ Student safety ➢ Proximity to neighborhood ➢ Slope of Silver Bell Road ➢ Elevation of the site Landscape Plan ➢ No open space ➢ Competitive growth ➢ No organization Elevation Plan ➢ Building massing ➢ Front door Site Plan — The Site Plan provides for access to the site to remain from Silver Bell Road. The driveway provides access to both the existing and proposed school and their affiliated parking areas. No changes to the existing school/site are proposed save for handicap parking stall striping and a row of 11 parking stalls on the south end of the parking lot. The proposed 2 -story, 48,000 sq. ft. building will consist of classrooms, meeting rooms, assembly areas and a gymnasium inside the proposed building. Additionally, the plan provides for a shared soccer and kickball field, intended to be used by the students from both facilities. The new construction will include the removal of three parking stalls and the addition of 179 parking stalls (103 existing) for a total of 279 parking stalls on site. The design allows traffic to both enter and exit the parking lots in this location. Traffic is also able to exit the property via the second driveway (existing) on the east side of the site. A student drop off area is planned for the new school similar to that of the existing school. A sidewalk provides a linkage between the two schools. An infiltration basin is proposed in the NW corner and a swale in the SW corner, both surrounded by an 8' chain link fence. A Building Permit is required for any fence 7' or taller. Planning Report — MN Autism Center July 28, 2015 Page 6 Lastly, the plan identifies a potential expansion area up to 8,680 sq. ft. as well as a future playground and future track. Lots — The site consists of a developed lot and an Outlot. These lots will be combined via a Final Plat to become Lot 1, Block 1, Tesseract 2nd Addition. Adjacent to the outlot is a small triangular shaped tract of land (PIN 10-01900-250-40) that should be included in the proposed plat to avoid tax forfeiture since it is not a separate buildable lot. Airport Noise Considerations — The site is located within Airport Noise Policy Zone 4 one -mile Buffer. Sec. 11.64, Aircraft Noise Zone Overlay District, applies to new construction within this area. Within the Buffer of Zone 4, Educational uses are considered Provisional Uses. The "Provisional" rating means a use that is not permitted, unless it meets certain structural performance standards for noise reduction, and satisfies several land use compatibility factors identified in the Metropolitan Council's 2030 Transportation Plan. If allowed, Provisional land uses must meet structure performance standards for interior sound reduction. Setbacks — The CGD zoning district establishes a minimum front yard setback of 0' and maximum of 10', a minimum setback of 0' for side yards, and a minimum setback of 20' for rear yards. Parking setbacks are a minimum of 5'. A maximum of 15% of the street frontage should be occupied by off-street parking. CGD zoning prohibits on -grade parking directly in front of a building and within 50' of any intersection. The proposed front yard setback is 360' which far exceeds the 10' maximum. In the rear yard, the proposed building setback is approximately 170', with a potential building expansion at 110'. In the side yard, the west side is set back 65'. The east side setback accommodates the athletic fields. While the CGD district encourages building placement near the street with less than 10' setbacks, it should be noted that half of the site was built under different zoning standards. This also impacts the parking lot design given the fixed location of the existing parking lot. The existing parking lot alone occupies roughly 47% of the street frontage. The proposed parking lot is also located in the front yard and cumulatively they occupy approximately 70% of the street frontage. The new parking lot does exceed the 50' intersection setback given the infiltration basin is located in the NW corner of the site. Lot Coverage — CGD zoning does not specifically establish a maximum building to lot area coverage ratio. This is consistent with the goal of achieving a more urban redevelopment and providing maximum flexibility for a mix of uses within the Cedar Grove District. The proposed project, including the potential building expansion, consists of 44% impervious surface on 13 acres. The total building area is 90,702 s.f., which translates to a building coverage percentage of 16%. Planning Report — MN Autism Center July 28, 2015 Page 7 Topography/Grading — The entire western parcel will be disturbed for development. The site generally slopes from east to west, with elevations ranging from 805 to 780. The preliminary grading plan is acceptable with modification. A detailed grading, drainage, erosion, and sediment control plan should be prepared in accordance with current City standards and codes prior to Building Permit. All erosion/sediment control plans submitted for development and grading permits should be prepared by a designer who has received current Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) training, or approved equal training as determined by the City Engineer in designing stormwater pollution prevention plans. Also, all personnel responsible for the construction and management of erosion/sediment control devices, and the establishment of vegetation for the development, should have received Erosion/Sediment Control site management certification through the University of Minnesota, or approved equal training as determined by the City Engineer. Erosion control measures should be installed and maintained in accordance with City Code and engineering standards. Stone Water Management/Water Quality — The preliminary storm drainage plan is acceptable with modification. The entire site lies within Drainage District A (as designated in the City Stone Water Management Plan — 2007) and generally flows northwest toward the Minnesota River. The applicant proposes to develop the vacant portion of the school site, resulting in 3.15 acres of new impervious surface, and an additional 3.67 acres of disturbed/graded soils, on the western portion of the 12.66 -acre school site. This new development will need to comply with the City's Post Construction Stonnwater Management Requirements (City Code §4.34) for stormwater management and surface water quality, including Runoff Rate Control and 1.1" Volume Control. The applicant proposes to meet City water quality requirements through construction of one vegetated infiltration basin with two sump manholes upstream of basin inlets for pretreatment, one vegetated swale, and soil remediation for the 3.67 -acres of disturbed/graded soil areas that are proposed to be revegetated pervious surfaces. For the existing site, Rate Control that is currently being provided by a pond/basin, which is proposed to be filled, will instead be provided within the proposed infiltration basin, as well as for rate control of the new development. Eagan Water Resources has reviewed the applicant's plans, stormwater design summary and modeling provided for stormwater management and finds the proposed plans to meet City Code §4.34 Post -Construction Stormwater Management Requirements are acceptable with conditions to ensure infiltration capability, stable inlets, effective soil remediation to restore soil permeability, construction techniques, staging and oversight, and future maintenance for continued function. Wetlands — Because there are no wetlands on site, City Code §11.67, wetland protection and management regulations, does not apply. Utilities — The preliminary utility plan is acceptable, with modification. A lateral water main and sanitary sewer of sufficient size and capacity is available through the middle of the site for connection and extension with development of the property. Sanitary Sewer District CG, as designated in the City's Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan, serves the entire site. All utilities Planning Report — MN Autism Center July 28, 2015 Page 8 are proposed to be privately owned and maintained. This development should provide hydrant spacing and locations in accordance with City Fire Department and Public Works standards. In 2004, the Eagan Technology Task Force recommended that broadband and fiber optic telecommunications networks be expanded in the city wherever possible. The applicant should submit a proposal/infrastructure plan to be approved by staff to provide telecommunications fiber to the premises (FTTP). The applicant should provide such a plan for review and approval by City staff. This development should include the installation of fiber optic cable, or a conduit for future installation, in its construction plans at the time of Building Permit. Streets/Access/Pedestrian Circulation — Silver Bell Road, along the north edge of the site, is a two-lane local roadway with a concrete sidewalk in the south boulevard. Tesseract Place, currently a public cul-de-sac, is the existing access point to the development. Tesseract Place right-of-way is proposed to be vacated and converted into a private street. All access to the development is proposed via this private street off of Silver Bell Road. Nicols Road, along the west edge of the site, is in the process of being designated as a "Minimum Maintenance Road," therefore is not appropriate to be used as an access to the site. No access is proposed to Nicols Road. The Site Plan includes the extension of the existing sidewalk from the eastern parcel along the northern side of the new proposed building. No new pedestrian connections are proposed to the public sidewalk along Silver Bell Road. "No Parking/Fire lane" signage should be installed in the parking lot and driveways, per Fire Department standards, to ensure emergency vehicle access. Easements/Permits/Right-of-Way — The existing public drainage & utility easements and the Tesseract Place right-of-way, will be vacated, and standard easements will be dedicated with the new plat. Tesseract Place will be turned into a private street so no right-of-way will be necessary. This development should be responsible for the acquisition of all regulatory agency permits required by the affected agency prior to building permit approval Parking — The City Code does not have a specific requirement of off-street parking spaces for schools; however, the City Code states the Council should determine the adequacy of parking when approving a Site Plan. The Site Plan notes the proposed parking stall count has been established based on the projected use of the tenant. The site currently has 103 stalls, three of which will be removed with site modifications. Staff is unaware of any parking concerns affiliated with the existing site. The proposed total stall count is 279 stalls for the campus. City Code requires parking stalls to be 10' x 19' with a minimum of 24' drive aisles. The existing stalls do not meet this requirement as they are 9' x 18' with 26' drive aisles. The proposed stalls Planning Report — MN Autism Center July 28, 2015 Page 9 are 9' x 19' with 25' drive aisles. According to the applicant's narrative, this size of a parking stall slightly reduces the amount of impervious surface area which can be used for athletic fields and better fits to typical industry standards. Site Lighting — The CGD district restricts pole lights to a maximum height of 20'. A minimum illumination of 0.5 footcandles is required in surface parking lots, with lighting averaging 1.5 footcandles. Lighting should not exceed 0.5 footcandles at the property lines, and no glare should be directed onto adjacent right-of-way or neighboring properties. The applicant is proposing to utilize an LED pole -mounted fixture. Wall -mounted down lighting is proposed for the building. The Photometric Lighting Plan is acceptable with modification at the time of Building Permit, illustrating levels of illumination in conformance with CGD standards at the property line. Total pole height and wall -mounted fixtures should not exceed 20'. Green Space — The CGD ordinance does not set any standard for green space, and storm drainage and water quality treatment are handled in area ponds. Building Architecture — The CGD district contains specific provisions related to building design and exterior finish materials. The applicant's narrative speaks to the proposed deviations from the City Code standards. Height — The proposed building is two stories and 30' in height which exceeds the minimum height requirement of 24'. Architectural Design — The CGD zoning district established architectural design criteria for buildings more than 50' in length. These criteria include providing horizontal and vertical offsets, recessed windows on the first floor, and use of different materials or textures to architecturally divide the facade into bays between 20' and 40' in width. In addition, finish materials on all sides of a building should be treated as a front side and have the same finish materials, major materials shall be complementary colors, and use of both vertical and horizontal pattern designs in the building facade. The existing MAC school is a single -story painted CMU (concrete masonry unit) building. The applicant's narrative states, "Rather than replicate the existing building, the MAC High School design team chose to complement the existing building with an upgraded two story design to preserve green space on the site for student program use." The proposed building has a flat roof. The use of different materials and colors provides vertical and horizontal offsets for both the length and height of the building; however, some of these sections exceed 40' in length. While finish materials are similar on each side, the south elevation has more than double the amount of precast concrete panels than the north elevation which has a higher amount of glazing. This is due to the floor plan and the gymnasium being located in the rear of the building. Planning Report — MN Autism Center July 28, 2015 Page 10 Given the scale and location of the building, and type of use being a school, the acceptability of the building architecture is a policy matter to be determined by City officials. Building Materials — The CGD zoning district establishes that primary materials cover at least 60% of the facade, and secondary materials occupy not more than 30% of the facade. Accent materials may make up not more than 10%. Primary materials include brick, stone and glass; secondary materials may include decorative block or integrally -colored stucco. In addition, all primary and secondary materials shall be integrally colored. The proposed plan provides the following materials and ratios: Applying the CGD architectural standards to the proposal, the glazing is considered a primary material ranging from 28%-56%. While not listed in the CGD standards, the Performance Standards within the Zoning Code list Architecturally precast textured concrete panels as a Class III material. The prefinished metal (6-7%) is an accent material. Metal panels are considered a Class I material when they cover an entire wall. With primary materials well below the 60% CGD standard, and no secondary materials, the proposed building materials do not meet the expectations of the CGD district. According to the project narrative, "The integrally colored architectural precast...is a high quality material, consistent with "Class I" building materials, and should not be confused with the raked concrete or painted wall panels...The integrally colored architectural precast is an appropriate, durable non -degradable and low maintenance material which meets the requirements of MAC School and the intent of Section 11.70 of the Eagan Zoning Ordinance." The applicant's narrative further describes why the integrally colored architectural precast panels are preferred over brick masonry or natural stone and provide a comparison to other new buildings within the Cedar Grove District. The acceptability of the proposed building materials is a policy matter to be determined by City officials. Signage — The proposal includes both building mounted wall signs, a free-standing monument sign and directional signs. Per City Code standards, an existing billboard is proposed to be removed with the development of the site. I Elevations North South West East Material %'s Precast Concrete Panels 38 72 66 57 Glazing 56 28 34 37 Metal Panels 6 0 0 7 Total 100 100 100 100 Applying the CGD architectural standards to the proposal, the glazing is considered a primary material ranging from 28%-56%.

The prefinished metal (6-7%) is an accent material. Metal panels are considered a Class I material when they cover an entire wall. With primary materials well below the 60% CGD standard, and no secondary materials, the proposed building materials do not meet the expectations of the CGD district. According to the project narrative, "The integrally colored architectural precast...is a high quality material, consistent with "Class I" building materials, and should not be confused with the raked concrete or painted wall panels...The integrally colored architectural precast is an appropriate, durable non -degradable and low maintenance material which meets the requirements of MAC School and the intent of Section 11.70 of the Eagan Zoning Ordinance." The applicant's narrative further describes why the integrally colored architectural precast panels are preferred over brick masonry or natural stone and provide a comparison to other new buildings within the Cedar Grove District. The acceptability of the proposed building materials is a policy matter to be determined by City officials. Signage — The proposal includes both building mounted wall signs, a free-standing monument sign and directional signs. Per City Code standards, an existing billboard is proposed to be removed with the development of the site. I Planning Report — MN Autism Center July 28, 2015 Page 11 Building Signs — Wall signage is proposed on the north and south sides of the building. At the north end, the sign faces the parking lot and Silver Bell Road. The sign is located to the right of the cantilevered expanse of glass. On the south elevation, the sign is located to be visible from Highway 13. The CGD ordinance provides the following parameters for wall signage. Wall signs may be located within a 3' sign band, between 10' and 15' above ground. The proposal locates the wall signs at approximately 26', near the top of the two-story structure. Sign sizes appear to be below the allotted 1.5 sq. ft. per lineal foot of building frontage. The type of wall signage was not provided but should meet CGD standards. Final sign specifications including dimensions should be confirmed at the time of Sign Permit application. Freestanding Signs — One free-standing sign is proposed, just west of the driveway entrance. The existing sign located east of the driveway is to be removed. The proposed sign location may conflict with a utility easement that extends along the front of the property. The monument sign location should be at least 10' from the property line and outside of the utility easement area. The applicant did not provide specifications for the monument sign other than it will be 45 sq. ft. in size. The base should be landscaped and constructed to match the principal building materials. The CGD district allows freestanding signs up to 12' in height. The sign base should be constructed of materials to match the principal building, with a minimum base height of 3' and a maximum sign area of 45 s.f. on one side. Design plans for the monument sign should be provided at the time of Sign Permit, and confornlance with the CGD design standards confirmed at that time. Directional Signs — Three directional signs are proposed, two along the western side of the main drive aisle and one in front of the new high school. The existing sign located east of the main drive aisle is to be removed. The applicant did not provide specifications for the directional signs other than they will be 6 sq. ft. in size. The CGD district allows directional signs up to 5' in height and no more than 6 sq. ft. in area. Directional signs must be setback at least two feet from right-of-way, lot lines and parking spaces and confonn with the CGD design standards. Building Address Numbers — Building address numbers should be installed consistent with the provisions of Section 2.78 of City Code. Mechanical Equipment/Trash Storage — City Code requires a minimum 30" parapet for new buildings, and that mechanical units be placed at least 20' from the edge of the building. Planning Report — MN Autism Center July 28, 2015 Page 12 A Rooftop mechanical unit screen is shown on the Building Elevations; however, not in detail. The parapet height should be demonstrated on the permit plans, at the time of Building Permit, and placement of units 20' from the building edge. If these requirements alone do not fully screen the equipment, additional screening measures should be employed in accordance with City Code. Trash storage — Trash is proposed to be stored inside the principal building, accessed through an exterior door to an access drive along the west side of the building. Landscaping — The CGD zoning district includes specific design standards for landscaping including placement of trees every 25' where parking abuts the site perimeter, one overstory tree for every 500 sq. ft. of landscape area on the site, certain prohibited species and other species to be used only in certain circumstances, such as evergreen trees only in areas protected from winter wind conditions. Additionally, wherever a surface parking area faces a street frontage, such frontage should be screened with a decorative wall, railing, hedge, or a combination of these elements, to a minimum height of 21/ feet above the level of the parking lot, at the build -to line. The proposed Landscape Plan is acceptable with minor modifications. The Landscape Plan utilizes 6 species of shade/ornamental trees, 2 species of conifer, 5 shrub varieties and 5 species of perennials and ornamental grasses. The applicant should separate the shade and ornamental trees located within the plant schedule and verify quantities. The plan should be revised to replace the Red Pine with a different species as urban conditions, wind and insects are problematic for the species. Staff suggests use of the Austrian Pine. The plantings should also meet minimum size requirements per City Code as follows: Deciduous overstory/shade — 2 1/2 caliper inches Deciduous understory/ornamental — 1 1/2 caliper inches Coniferous — 6' Hedge and shrubs — 3' The applicant's narrative describes the difficulty in meeting the CGD district requirements, specifically in relation to the number of trees required per the landscaped area, primarily due to the open space for recreational activities which is atypical for the CGD district. The proposed plan compliments the existing site and is typical of landscaping required on other properties outside of the CGD district. Lastly, overstory trees should be placed so as not to conflict with pole lighting or utilities such as hydrants. Overstory trees should be planted within parking islands wherever possible to maximize shade coverage of pavement areas. Tree Preservation — The tree inventory submitted with this application indicates there are one hundred sixty-three (163) significant trees currently existing on site. According to the Tree Preservation Plan submitted, site improvement impacts will result in the removal of sixty (60) significant trees (36.8% of the total). Planning Report — MN Autism Center July 28, 2015 Page 13 Per the City of Eagan Tree Preservation Ordinance, allowable tree removal for this type of development proposal (single -lot, commercial) is 30% of the total significant trees. Because the proposed removal of significant trees is more than allowed without mitigation, required tree mitigation calculates to twenty-six (26) Category B trees (or an equivalent combination of Category A and/or C trees). The applicant has submitted a Tree Mitigation Plan that proposes eleven (11) Category B trees be installed, which does not fulfill the required tree mitigation. The applicant should submit a revised Tree Mitigation Plan that fulfills the required tree mitigation amount of twenty-six (26) Category B trees (or an equivalent combination of Category A and/or C trees). Parks and Recreation — This development is responsible for park and trail dedications. The park dedication was satisfied for what is presently Lot 1, with the development of the Tesseract school; however, the vacant lot has not satisfied park dedication. The pending dedications will be calculated based on actual construction plans at the time of Building Permit and collected prior to release of the Building Permit. Based on the 2015 Fee Schedule, the cash park dedication is anticipated to be $42,960 ($895/1000 s.f. of bldg. at 48,022 s.f. of building). Trail dedication is anticipated to be $7,756 (based on 6.2 net acres which includes the expansion lot and vacated Tesseract place). Financial Obligation — At this time, there are no pending assessments on the parcels proposed for platting. Based upon a study by City staff of the financial obligations collected in the past and proposed use for the property, there are no outstanding charges to be collected at time of plat approval or connection to the City's utility system. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The applicant is proposing a Rezoning and Preliminary Planned Development to allow construction of a two-story, 48,000 sq. ft., school within the Cedar Grove Redevelopment District. The proposal creates a school campus as an existing school is on the eastern side of the property, home to MAC (Mn Autism Center). The proposed development takes access from Silver Bell Road, and develops what is currently an Outlot in conjunction with the existing school. The majority of parking to support the school is provided within the front yard. The Site Plan provides for connections to the existing school within the site. The PD zoning provides flexibility in the application of zoning standards for mutual benefit. The developer is requesting some deviations to typical Code requirements such as for multiple buildings on one lot, setbacks exceeding the 0'-10' build -to line, building materials and architecture, signage, landscaping and parking. The appropriateness of proposed deviations, as outlined in this report, is a policy matter to be determined by City officials.

MOORED UP 7 0 S2 FOR RIOLATION V \ CITY OF EAGAN MN AUTISM CENTER SCHOOL PROJECT NARRATIVE July 7th, 2015 Ryan Companies is proud to present the following project to the City of Eagan. MAC Background Minnesota Autism Center (MAC) is a non-profit organization that provides therapeutic support for children, adolescents and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder. MAC has been a leader in providing quality services to the autism community for nearly 20 years. They have 8 locations across the state serving children ages 2 through 21. MAC began operations at their Eagan facility in 2011 where they serve approximately 100 students and employ 120 staff members at this location. MAC provides a one-to-one, student teacher ratio where an instructor is paired with a student from the time he or she arrives, to the time they leave. Since the Eagan school's inception, MAC has been a welcome member of the neighborhood and an asset to the community. Today, the need for MAC's services is at an all-time high as ASD is becoming more and more prevalent. It is estimated that 1 in every 68 children are diagnosed with ASD, which represents a drastic increase over the last 20 — 30 years. In response to this increased need, MAC purchased the lot adjacent to their facility in the summer of 2014. Since MAC's acquisition of the land, they have partnered with Ryan Companies and RSP Architects to design and plan the construction of an expansion campus. With the expansion capacity, MAC will employ over 200 staff members at their Eagan location and treat well over 200 students. This expansion facility will allow MAC to continue to meet its mission of aiding families, children and adolescents suffering from autism. Project Summary The MN Autism Center (MAC) School project team is proposing a 2 -story, 48,000 square foot facility, which will act as the MAC High School. The MAC School existing facility, located east of the new facility, would then become the school for younger students. The new facility will consist of classrooms, meeting rooms, some assembly areas, and a gymnasium inside of the proposed building. The proposed 6+ acre site will add 179 parking stalls for the staff of the new facility. A student drop off and pick-up area is provided on the north side of the new facility for student transportation services. The project team is planning for an expansion of up to 8,680 square feet. Also proposed on the site is a shared soccer and kickball field, intended to be used by the students from both facilities. There is some open space left on site intended for an athletic track and playground equipment when funding becomes available in the future. Site Description The proposed site is located at the northeast corner of Highway 77 and Highway 13 in the City of Eagan. The existing MAC School parcel and the adjacent parcel to the west are currently owned by MAC, who intends to use both parcels to create a "campus" feel with the proposed and existing buildings. The parcel was recently purchased by MAC and is currently vacant, with a few utilities running through the site. Tesseract Place, which is a public road and cul-de-sac, splits the existing facility property and the two vacant parcels. The project includes vacating Tesseract Place, and re -platting the vacant parcel (to the west of Tesseract Place) and existing building site (to the east of Tesseract Place) as one combined lot. The public utilities located in Tesseract Place will become private lines. Some existing utilities will be removed as the new infrastructure is installed. The sole entrance into the site is off of Silver Bell Road, which is the same curb cut as the vacated Tesseract Place. The transport vehicles for the existing building will continue to use this entrance and will exit via the one-way exit on the northeast corner of the site: There are no access points off of Nicols Road, since this road has been deemed a minimum maintenance road. Tenant's Intended Use of the Premises The primary use of the building will be a high school for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ages 13 to 21. MAC will help educate students and train them for life during and beyond school. The school will primarily operate during the hours of 8:00-8:30 AM to 4:00-4:30 PM, with students arriving and departing by family drop off or medical transport services. There will be some occasional night and weekend use, but the majority of activity is held during normal school hours. The proposed building will accommodate approximately 100 students and 100 staff including teachers, support staff, and administration staff. It is anticipated that 2 to 4 trucks per week will visit the building, most of which will only be supply and garbage trucks. Most of the students will be dropped off and picked up by their parents or via shuttle bus and vans. The anticipated number of vehicles for both schools is: • 50 vans — Each van may have 1 to 6 students. • 40 parent pick up vehicles. • 200 staff vehicles **Please note these are not traffic trips. Vans and parents vehicles would be coming and going in the morning and afternoon. The staff vehicles would be entering in the morning and leaving in the afternoon. * * Approximate Square Footage — Phase I Classrooms 11@ 900 SF Therapy Rooms 3@750 SF Administration Offices 10,000 SF 2,250 SF 5,000 SF Gymnasium 7,000 SF Library 3,000 SF Lunch Room 3,500 SF Circulation/Support/Mech/Elect 17,272 SF Total Gross Area 48,022 SF Approximate Square Footage — Phase II Classrooms 8@900 7,200 SF Circulation/Support 1,480 SF Total 8.680 SF Legal Description Lot 1, Block 1, and Outlot A, TESSERACT ADDITION, Dakota County, Minnesota. and All of vacated Tesseract Place as platted in the plat of TESSERACT ADDITION, Dakota County, Minnesota.

The plat reflects the vacation of all existing on-site easements as all on-site utilities will become private. We have provided a typical 10' drainage and utility easement around the property. Existing Lots: 12.665 acres Proposed Lot: 12.665 acres Architecture & Building Materials In response to increased demand for services, the proposed MAC High School will expand the existing MAC School into a comprehensive campus serving students from K to 21 years old. The proposed placement of the new building is to the south west corner of the site, which provides separation between the new building and the residential neighborhood to the north. The site design provides the MAC High School with its own identity while creating a campus that accommodates shared parking and athletic fields with the existing MAC School. It also creates a welcoming sense of arrival, and generous on site vehicle queuing at the front door for student drop off and pick up. The Existing MAC School is a one story painted CMU building. Rather than replicate the existing building, the MAC High School design team chose to complement the existing building with an upgraded two story design to preserve green space on the site for student program use. The building design is a simple composition of two wings joined with a transparent glass entry link; which will function as a welcoming "Great Hall" for the School. The classroom wing is clad with integrally colored architectural precast concrete panels containing large windows that bring daylight into the classrooms. The massing is articulated with several recessed areas of full height glass and a strong definition between the first and second levels. In contrast, the Gymnasium/Cafeteria wing is expressed as a simple two story mass with a cantilevered expanse of glass addressing the front entry and residential neighborhood to the north. The integrally colored architectural precast proposed for the exterior finish of the MAC High School is a high quality material, consistent with "Class I" building materials, and should not be confused with the raked concrete or painted wall panels which have proliferated in suburban industrial parks over the past 30 years. The integrally colored architectural precast is an appropriate, durable, non -degradable, and low maintenance material which meets the requirements of MAC School and the intent of Section 11.70 of the Eagan Zoning Ordinance. While brick masonry lends itself to traditional architectural styles and detailing, the integrally colored architectural precast is a material that better supports MAC's goal of creating a sophisticated, clean, contemporary image for their new High School. With a combination of surface treatments (sandblasting, acid etching, etc.) we are able to achieve subtle contrasting color values and textures within the same panel which adds a level of richness to the project. We believe that the integrally colored architectural panels are comparable in quality to the "Class I" materials identified in the Cedar Grove District (CGD) code, and in this case are preferable to brick masonry or natural stone. We also believe that it is a significant upgrade in comparison to the existing MAC building (CMU Block — Class IV material) and the Outlet Mall across Highway 13 (mostly EIFS — Class III material, with some Brick — Class I material). We request that the City Council approve our proposed architectural precast as comparable to a "Class I" material, and as appropriate for a primary exterior finish within the Cedar Grove District. Architectural precast has been used successfully to convey a sense of quality on a variety of high profile commercial projects in the Twin Cities. Reference photographs for a recent project located in New Brighton MN, Cardiovascular Systems Inc. (CSI), are attached in Appendix A. CSI has a very similar architectural goal to the MAC proposed building, in that it presents two main tones of building colors while highlighting a main glass feature to the building. Also included with the submittal are panel samples used for the CSI building that show the different colors, textures, and overall appearance that they will achieve. Signage The proposed building will have two building signs. The first is located on the north side of the building facing the parking area and Silver Bell Road. This sign is located to the right of the cantilevered expanse of glass. The second sign is located on the south side of the building, facing Highway 13, and is located on the back of the gym wall. The sign locations are shown on the architectural plans as well as on the Signage Exhibit found at the back of the submitted plan set. The allowable size of building signage from the CGD code is 321 SF for the north facing sign and 303 SF for the south facing sign, based on the limit of 1.5 SF of signage per lineal foot of building frontage. We are proposing the wall signs to be 33 SF each, which fits well within the CGD code requirements. We are also meeting the three foot height limit for each of the signs. We are requesting an exception to the code for the height above the ground of the wall signs. The CGD code allows the wall signs to be positioned between 10 and 15 feet above the ground. Refer to the signage section under the Zoning/PUD heading below for a more detailed explanation. The existing MAC facility contains one small monument sign on Silver Bell Road, east of the vacated Tesseract Place connection. We are proposing to remove the existing monument sign and replace it with a new monument sign to be placed on the west side of the vacated Tesseract Place connection. Directional signs are proposed along the main west drive into the site (2) and one towards the loading area. The monument and directional signs are shown on the Civil Site plans as well as the Signage Exhibit. Square footage for each sign and setbacks from property lines and roadways are called out on the Signage Exhibit. Parking In the City of Eagan code, there is no specific parking number requirement for schools. Due to the facility being a specialty school, there is not a good ITE manual standard for parking requirements. There are currently 103 parking spaces on site. We are proposing to provide an additional 179 stalls and remove 3 existing stalls, for a total of 279. The 3 proposed stalls to be removed will be restriped to catch the existing building up with the new accessible parking stall requirements. The parking proposed for the campus is based on a 1:1 ratio for the 200 school staff. The extra 79 stalls will be utilized by parents, visitors, and potential staff in the future. MAC is confident that the required number of stalls for them will not be higher than the 279 based on the capacity of both schools. The CGD code requires the parking stalls to be 10'x19' with a minimum of 24' aisle width. The existing MAC facility contains 9'x18' stalls and 26' aisle widths. To better match the existing parking lot and general industry standards, we are proposing to have 9'x 19' parking stalls with 25' drive aisles. Refer to the Zoning/PUD section below for a more detailed explanation. Utilities Water service to and around the proposed building will tie into an existing stub that is located under the vacated Tesseract Place road. With the vacation of Tesseract Place, the existing watermain is now private and connects to the public water main under Silver Bell Road. The combined domestic and fire line enters the building on the west side. There are two hydrants spaced out to allow for 250' of hose length: one to the northeast and one to the southwest of the building. Some water main will need to be removed that extends further into the site from Tesseract Place. The sanitary sewer service will come into the building on the north side. It will tie into an existing sanitary sewer manhole for pipe that runs from the vacated Tesseract Place out to the public sewer in Nicols Road. There are two existing sanitary manholes that will need to be raised up to final grade. Stormwater Management There are three existing drainage patterns that we are matching with the proposed design. The proposed site is designed to drain to one swale in the southwest corner of the site and to one infiltration basin in the northwest corner of the site. An infiltration basin was chosen in the northwest corner since the on-site soils were suitable for infiltration. A swale was chosen for the southwest corner since the on-site soils were not ideal for infiltration. The southwest swale is routed up to the northwest basin, which outlets to storm sewer in Silver Bell Road as the existing conditions did. A more detailed summary of the stormwater features on site is provided in the included Stormwater Management Report. Landscaping Design The proposed landscape design indicates plantings to include a full complement of overstory, ornamental and evergreen trees, shrubbery, and ground covers under the Cedar Grove District Zoning requirements. Per CGD landscape code, the required number of trees is 228. Due to the school use, the need for flexible space, and safety site lines, the landscape plans show 64 trees less than the CDG requirements. We have provided a generous amount of trees at the perimeter of the site to soften and enhance the sightlines from the surrounding uses. We feel the landscape plan with 164 overstory, ornamental and evergreen trees, along with the other enhanced areas shown on the plans, is appropriate for the school use. See the PUD section for additional information. • Trees in parking lot= 8 required, 8 proposed • Trees along site perimeter abutting parking= 10 required, 10 proposed • Trees required for green space= 228 required, 164 proposed (short 64 trees per CDG) • Screening achieved at 3' in height along parking perimeter at streets • 11 Required Replacement Trees. • Total Required trees = 239 Trees Tree mitigation requirements: 30% is allowable per code. We are removing 36.8% of the existing surveyed trees, exceeding percentage by 6.8% of the existing surveyed trees. Refer to Tree Preservation Calc Sheet (Appendix A) for calculations of tree mitigation. This calculation sheet was provided to us by the city to accurately calculate the required number of replacement trees. 163 trees surveyed, 30% allowable = 49 trees, 60 trees actually removed (36.8%), 103 trees preserved (63.2%), 11 trees to mitigate. Zoning / PUD The current zoning for the site is Cedar Grove District (CGD). We are requesting a PUD zoning for the site due to the intended use and unique client base. The following considerations are based on the Cedar Grove District (CGD) and Section 11.70 Performance Standards zoning requirements Use: • Schools are a conditional use in the CGD Zoning District. o We are requesting the PUD allows the school use on the site. Number of Buildings • One allowable building per lot. o MAC prefers to combine the lots into one lot and is making the request to include both facilities on the same PUD property. This allows them a better site layout to fit the needs of their students and to allow the MAC schools to benefit from the shared athletic fields and open spaces. Building and Parking Setbacks: • Front & Side yard Principal Structure setback. At least the first and second floor must meet the build -to line: Minimum=0' & Maximum=10' • At least 85% of street frontage of any lot shall be occupied by building facades meeting the build -to -line. A maximum of 15% of the street frontage of any lot shall be occupied by off-street parking. • At a minimum, the first 50 feet of the lot frontage on either side of a street intersection must be occupied by buildings meeting the built -to line. o We have opted to place the building outside of the build -to lines to create a safe and comprehensive campus environment that the students can feel comfortable in year round. This layout also creates separation between the residential neighborhood to the north for better privacy for both the neighborhood residents and the school attendees. o We looked at various options that placed the building within the build -to lines and the parking and athletic fields located to the south. The included Conforming Site Plan shows one of these options that meet the three building and parking setbacks listed above. However, with students walking from both the existing and proposed facilities to the athletic fields, we didn't feel there was a safe path of travel for them to access the fields. Also, the functionality of the long, linear building does not work for the school program and student needs. Architectural & Building Materials: • At least 60% offacade to be brick, stone or glass (primary exterior building material). o The primary facade materials are integrally colored precast concrete (in three colors) and glass, with the entry canopy composed of composite metal panels. Glass and composite metal panels are listed as "Class I" materials in the City of Eagan Performance Standards. We strongly believe that the integrally colored precast panels are consistent with "Class I" building materials and should be included for the 60% primary material calculation. These materials are all considerable upgrades from the existing painted CMU facility on site, and will provide an attractive, durable, low maintenance exterior finish. o The building facades maximize glazing and are designed to express the functions and school programs within. Additional glazing in some areas would be counterproductive to some of the school programs inside of the school. o The building elevations are very appropriate for a specialty school. They are attractive, durable, and promote interest in the specialty education field, but are still modest for the expectations of a non-profit organization. o Included in Appendix A are images of the CSI facility in New Brighton, MN. These images reflect a similar architectural goal to the MAC proposed building, in that it presents two main tones of building colors focused around a main glass feature/entrance to the building. Signage • Wall signage on buildings in the CGD must be a horizontal band no more than three feet in height and be between 10-15 feet off of the ground. o The proposed building signage is below the 10% of the allowable signage area and fits within the three foot height requirement. Both building signs are under 1% of each respective the elevation area. We are proposing to place the building signage higher than the maximum 15 foot height allowed by the CGD code based on the two-story layout of the building, and the overall composition of the elevation. The architectural elevations reflect the proposed height of the signs off of the ground. o The building signs are shown on the Conforming Architectural Elevations within the code required 10-15 feet. The location of the signs does not relate well to the architectural composition of the elevations. o The location of the signs does not improve the aesthetics of the building and doesn't really fit with the other architectural features around thein. Parking: • On -grade parking is prohibited in the front yard directly in front of a building. o The parking was located in the front yard to provide better separation between the students at the school and the neighborhood residents to the north. This also allows all of the parking for both schools to be consolidated to one central location so that students can walk from either building to the athletic fields without crossing traffic. • Parking number requirements. o There are no parking requirements for a school listed in the City of Eagan Zoning Ordinance. The existing facility is comfortable with the number of staff they employ and the number of parking stalls that exist on site. MAC has based the proposed parking stall numbers off of the highest capacity of staff that they will have in the new facility, and they are confident that this number should not grow to more than 279 for both sites. • Parking stall size o The CGD code requires the parking stalls to be 10'x19' with a minimum of 24' aisle width. The existing MAC facility contains 9'x18' stalls and 26' aisle widths. MAC is comfortable with their parking stall size and would like to keep the width at 9' to reduce the amount of impervious area that they could instead use for the athletic fields. Therefore, we are proposing 9'x19' stalls and 25' aisle widths, which slightly reduces the amount of impervious area and better fits to typical industry standards. Landscaping: • At least one overstory tree shall be provided for every 500 square feet of landscaped area on the entire site. o The landscape plan has been designed to align with the other CGD landscape code requirements with a full complement of overstory, evergreen, shrubs and groundcovers to encompass the greenspace areas of our disturbed lot area, help soften the sightlines, and add interest to the site. Areas that are not included in our calculations of greenspace are the ball field/soccer field, future athletic track, future playground area, impervious areas and infiltration areas. o With the future expansion, the athletic fields, stormwater management areas, and the need for a flexible and safe space for students, there is a need for open space. This has put us 64 trees short of the CGD requirements. o The Conforming Landscape Plan shows the required amount of trees per the CGD code on the Conforming Site Plan layout. As can be seen from the layout of the trees, the CGD requirement forces us to have an unnecessary number of trees on site. Our proposed landscape plan reflects a generous compliment of trees around the perimeter of the site and an enhanced landscape around the perimeter and entrance of the building that achieves the intended goal of the CGD district without installing an unnecessary number of trees. RECEIVED June 1, 2015 Ms. Sarah Thomas City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 RE: City of Eagan, Minnesota Autism Center (MAC) Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Administrative Review Metropolitan Council Review File No. 20606-16 Metropolitan Council District 15 Dear Ms. Thomas: The Metropolitan Council received the City's Minnesota Autism Center (MAC) Comprehensive Plan Amendment (amendment) submittal on May 18, 2015. The amendment reguides 6.5 acres of land from Mixed Use to Public/Quasi Public in support of the development of a private educational use (school building, athletic field, and parking). The currently vacant property is located north of Hwy 13, east of Cedar Avenue, and west of 3800 Tesseract Place in the City of Eagan. Council staff finds the amendment meets the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Administrative Review Guidelines revised by the Council on July 28, 2010. The proposed amendment does not affect the City's ability to accommodate its share of the region's affordable housing need. Therefore, the Council will waive further review and action; and the City may place this amendment into effect. However, Metropolitan Council staff offers the following advisory comments for your consideration: Section 2: Forecasts. (Todd Graham, 651-602-1322) The City offers that the amendment will reduce the communitywide employment forecast (question 8 of CPA submittal form) by -200 jobs in future years. Council staff finds that the proposed school facility is a less intense use than the previous guidance. Council staff can agree to the requested forecast adjustment. Section 3: Land Use. (Ryan Garcia, 651-602-1832) Question 10 on the submittal form indicates that the amendment will result in Post -CPA values of 34 residential units at 11.76 du/acre. In an e-mail on May 28, City staff acknowledged that this information was in error. No new residential units are proposed, nor is any additional land to be guided for residential land use as a result of this amendment. Section 4: Transportation/Aviation. (Russ Owen, 651-602-1724) • The amendment does correctly state that the property is within the one -mile Buffer of Zone 4, and educational construction is considered provisional, with performance standards for interior noise reduction applied. O The amendment also is correct that some departures on Runway 17 will fan out, but many arrivals on Runway 35 will come right over the property. • The subject property is within the 55-56-57 DIA, 2014 noise contour, which will not be eligible for future noise mitigation. ETROPOLI IAN C 4 LI N 0 L Ms. Sarah Thomas June 1, 2015 Page 2 • The applicant should note that for school -related outdoor activities, frequent air traffic may present a significant disruption. • Interior noise levels will need to be monitored considering how close the school is to the 60 DnL. The amendment, explanatory materials, and the information submission form will be appended to the City's Plan in the Council's files. If you have any questions about this review, contact Ryan Garcia, Principal Reviewer, at 651-602-1832.

As discussed, MAC currently is leasing this billboard to a third party advertising agency who's lease is set to expire on February 28th, 2016. It is MAC's intention to remove the billboard if their regulatory approvals are granted by the city. However, given the timing overlap between their proposed expansion and their contractual obligation to the billboard lessee, we request the deadline to remove the billboard to be extended. As a compromise that allows MAC to honor the billboard lease yet still remain obligated to removing the billboard, MAC proposes that the requirement be changed to remove the billboard prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy. Out -lot: Pursuant to the Planning Report, the current site plan consists of a developed lot and an out -lot of approximately 0.33 acres. The separation of this parcel is the result of a divided ownership interest held by an unrelated third party most likely caused by a clerical error during the probate process. Unfortunately, this oversight was discovered after the site plan and design development was well under way. Further complicating the situation, the party listed as the holder of the divided interest has passed away with no clear record of who the appropriate contact person is for his estate. MAC's original design called for ponding to be located on this out -lot and to include this parcel when the property would eventually be re -platted. However, without fee simple interest in this parcel MAC was left with two options; 1) pause all development activity and focus on tracking down the holder of the shared interest in the property and receive a waiver of their interest or 2) remove this parcel from the site plan in order to progress with the expansion while exploring the possibility of re -platting to include the out -lot at a future date. MAC has elected the latter in order to reduce the risk of substantial delays resulting from months of searching for the appropriate decision maker and working through a waiver of their interest in the land. Therefore, it is MAC's request that the deadline for re -platting of the 0.33 acre out -lot is extended to issuance of certificate of occupancy. We understand the City's concern over the potential that this parcel could theoretically be left out as a separate un - buildable lot if left alone. However, it was never MAC's intention to separate this out -lot from their development. Further, MAC agrees to work in good faith to acquire fee simple interest in the out lot and re -plat their property to include this in their overall development, WWW.RYANCOMPANIRS.COM LIMPING LASTING RELATIONSHIPS Please consider these two modifications to the planning report As stated previously, our goal is to timely deliver a high quality facility for MAC o continue pxovidir,g their services to the community. These proposed changes would go a long way to facilitate that effort. We welcome your feedback anal please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Sincerely, Dan Mueller Director of Development Ryan Companies US, Inc. 612.492.4867 Sarah Thomas From: Sent: To: Subject: Dan Mueller <Dan.Mueller@RyanCompanies.com> Tuesday, August 11, 2015 11:05 AM Sarah Thomas MAC - building signage Sarah, Pursuant to our conversation, we request that MAC is allowed flexibility in regards to building signage height. Per our submittal, MAC requests to locate their potential building signage approximately 26' from the ground on the building facade facing south towards Hwy 13. The existing ordinance stipulates the sign must be located anywhere from 10' — 15' off the ground which we feel is a) not as aesthetically appealing compared to a sign located higher on the building and b) only appropriate in the context of the other CGD stipulations (building setbacks etc. per the conforming plan). As MAC's design is deviating from the conforming plan in other respects, we feel the signage height should also be considered. Please give me a call if you would like to discuss.

As we have discussed, MAC has met with the City's Finance Committee, City staff and yourself as City Attorney regarding these terms. We understand that the City Council will be considering multiple land use approvals for MAC's proposed project generally located at 3800 Tessaract Place (the Property) on August 18, 2015. The City Council may choose to place a condition upon such approvals that MAC enter into a PILOT with the City. MAC will agree to enter into a mutually agreeable PILOT with the City subject to the following terms: 1. MAC will make a $40,000 annual payment to the City, with $20,000 due on May 15 and $20,000 due on October 15 of each year, through the duration of the existing Tax Increment Financing District (TIF District) in which the Property is located (including any extension of the TIF District under proposed legislation). The initial payment will be due on May 15 or October 15 following the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the building project on the Property. The initial payment will be prorated from the date of the Certificate of Occupancy until the first payment date. 2. Following termination of the TIF District, MAC will continue to make an annual payment under the same terms, with the annual amount reduced to $20,000 plus an annual inflation factor equal to two percent (2%) or the average annual increase in property taxes within the City, whichever amount is lower. The inflation factor will be calculated from the start of the calendar year immediately following the termination of the TIF District. 3. The PILOT will terminate if the Property becomes subject to ad valorem taxation for any other reason.

CONCEPT PLAN AND PURCHASE PROPOSAL FROM INLAND GROUP FOR ACQUISITION OF OUTLOT A IN THE CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF AN APARTMENT PROJECT ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: 1) To approve the Inland Group (CAP Acquisitions, LLC) Preliminary Redevelopment Concept Plan included in the August 18, 2015 EDA Packet for the redevelopment of Outlot A in the Cedar Grove Redevelopment District. And 2) To direct the preparation of a preliminary real estate purchase agreement between the Eagan EDA and CAP Acquisitions, LLC for Outlot A to be considered at a future EDA meeting. FACTS: Background • The original Cedar/13 Task Force Study concluded that a combination of high density residential uses with retail, food and beverage and office uses would be a desirable long term redevelopment plan for what became the Cedar Grove Redevelopment area. • Over the years, redevelopment has occurred including destination retail, owner -occupied townhhomes, market rate apartments, senior independent and assisted livingapartments and related uses. • This spring, the master developers and staff were approached by the Inland Group, a multi -family developer based in Spokane, Washington, who expressed interest in acquiring Outlot A in the redevelopment district for an additional housing product. Inland Group Apartment Concept Proposal • Inland Group has submitted an offer to acquire Outlot A, the 4 acre parcel located at the west end the redevelopment district, between the parking garage and the transit station for the development of a 5 story, 161 unit 55+ active senior market rate apartment property, as a part of their Affinity product line. Amenities and features of the product as proposed are outlined in the attachments. • The purchase proposal as presented is equals approximately $10,700 per unit or $1,725,000. Staff and the master developer team believe this to be a fair market offer. If direction is given to proceed with this project, as a part of the negotiation of the agreement, the City Attorney will also secure a market value range assessment from the City's appraiser. • In its role of reviewing issues pertaining to the finances of the Cedar Grove Redevelopment District, the City Council Finance Committee reviewed Inland's letter of intent and concept plan at its meeting of June 29, 2015. The Committee is recommending authorization to proceed with negotiations of a purchase agreement based on the terms of the proposal, provided the proposed project would conform to the Cedar Grove Zoning District materials standards. Inland has since updated and submitted the attached concept plan which meets the percentage standards for primary and secondary materials as outlined for the district in the City Code. • Although the Affinity project will cover about three acres, Inland has proposed and the Finance Committee is recommending that the entire four acre outlot be sold to the developer. As a part of the Planned Development application process, the developer will identify its intended future use of the remainder of the site for expansion or a use complementary to their project and the redevelopment district. • The project will provide underground resident parking and an area for guest parking within the entry court area of the development. At this time, Inland indicates that they do not expect to need off-site parking in the EDA's garage and the Finance Committee's is open to that expectation. Staff proposes that a condition of purchase be that overnight use of the parking garage be monitored and, if it is found that off-site parking by residents or guests is occurring regularly, a mechanism be available in the agreement for Inland to pay for those spaces in the same manner as the outlet center and hotel projects have done. • Because this is a matter of negotiation for the purchase of property, if the EDA wishes to ask questions regarding specific details of the proposal, it would be appropriate to recess into executive session for that purpose. If the EDA finds the matter to be in order, it may take the actions outlined above at this time. • At this time, staff is requesting that the EDA consider approval of the preliminary concept plan and, if that is approved, direction to prepare a purchase agreement under the terms in the letter of intent for future consideration by the EDA. Concept Review Process • In redevelopment districts, the EDA has a practice of reviewing and providing preliminary concept approval for projects at this stage to authorize the staff and developer to undertake the stepwise process of bringing a property sale and development plan forward. • While a project will still require formal development approvals through the application and review process of the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council, the purpose of a preliminary concept approval is to provide assurance that the EDA, as owner of the property, has determined there is merit to taking the actions needed to complete the other steps and agreements necessary to permit the prospective developer to proceed with that process.
