Recreation Program Supervisor Andersen gave a presentation on examples of what Public Art can be. Johnson noted a number of recommendations from the Steering Committee were provided to Council for additional discussion and direction. The Council discussed at length the public policy issue and questions that were presented by staff and provided the following feedback: It was the consensus of the Council that the City of Eagan encourages the use of color, architectural design and artwork which adds to the sense of place and community identity in public spaces of building projects, and not put a minimum project value for this purpose. It was the consensus of the Council for the APrC to continue as they have for previous artwork selections and design, and to continue with the selection for capital projects provided through project architect/consultants. The majority of the Council agreed we should encourage the inclusion of visual art elements in private projects that include spaces for public gathering, but not legislate to make it a requirement. Mayor Maguire noted to possibly put some investment and creativity behind the encouragement, maybe negotiating development or park dedication requirements in private projects. The majority of the Council agreed to consider encouragement but not legislation of Public Art into all public and private gathering spaces through guiding statements in the next Comprehensive Guide update. The Council agreed it is open to a viable alternative to allow for consideration of art purchase as part of future capital, operating and Parks CIP budgets. The Council agreed that seeking grant funding opportunities and encouraging support of art installations through donations from local services and community organizations should continue.

To approve a Final Planned Development for an approximately 111,000 s.f. multi -tenant retail building on Lot 2, Block 1, Central Park Commons. Facts - Easement and Right-of-way Vacation: ➢ A vacation of easements and right-of-way throughout the site is proposed in conjunction with the dedication of required drainage and utility easements and right-of-way with the Central Park Commons plat. ➢ The purpose of the request is to allow the recording of a final plat of the property for the proposed Central Park Commons as a commercial retail/ office development. ➢ The request would vacate the existing drainage and utility easements and 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 Central Park Commons will address and incorporate all necessary public drainage and utility easements and right-of-way 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 Central Park Commons. ➢ On May 19, 2015, a public hearing was held and action was continued to coincide with future City Council consideration of the Central Park Commons final plat. No objections have been received to date. Facts - Final Subdivision and Final Planned Developments: ➢ The Preliminary Subdivision and Preliminary Planned Development for Central Park Commons were approved by the City on February 3, 2015. ➢ The preliminary development approval consisted of an approximately 434,000 s.f. multi -building commercial development containing retail, service, restaurant, and office uses upon approximately 47 acres located on the northwest corner of Pilot Knob and Yankee Doodle Roads. ➢ This Final Subdivision consists of four lots, and five outlots for future development. The lots are consistent with the Preliminary Subdivision. ➢ The final plat has been reviewed by staff and the Dakota County Surveyor, and has been approved for mylars. ➢ Two lots are proposed for Final Planned Development at this time. Lot 1 is in the southwest corner of the development site and is a 98,171 s.f. retail building. Lot 2 is located on the west edge of the development site and is a 110,979 s.f. multi - tenant retail building. ➢ All documents and agreements are anticipated to be in order for execution at the City Council meeting on October 6, 2015.

During the work to this point, there are several items that have been identified as either providing long-term value to the Fire Station #4 facility or were items discovered upon the exposing of the existing site or building conditions that require adjustments to the work scope. Finally, there is the change in asphalt paving approach for the project. These items have been priced by the general contractor and combined into the attached Change Order #02. Description of Changes: The main changes are incorporated in the attached Change Order #02 fall into three basic categories: A. Asphalt Paving: Due to the age of the asphalt paving on the site and the patched approach required to provide addition, it was decided that all remaining asphalt paving would be replaced at this time rather than in a few years when it was scheduled within the city maintenance plan. To facilitate the most cost effective approach to this paving replacement, all asphalt patching is being deleted from this contract to be instead placed into the current city paving contract. B. Functional Upgrades: This category includes adding emergency power feed connections for operating the OH door motors using the apparatus electrical power during power outages and adding cabinet storage in the Control Room. C. Miscellaneous Minor Changes: These items are a variety of minor items that are being recommended to address items including minor outlet location revisions, addition of several room signs commemorating past firefighters, and several other minor electrical revisions. Pricing: The following are the itemized pricing for each Proposal Request item included in this Change Order. All prices have been reviewed by CNH Architects and our consultant team and have been determined to be within appropriate unit costs for the work proposed.

Variance — Kwik Trip Action To Be Considered: To approve (or direct preparation of Findings of Fact for Denial) a Variance to allow a detached trash enclosure on property located at 4600 Slater Road, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Required Vote For Approval: ➢ Majority of Councilmembers present Facts: ➢ The site is currently occupied by a 6,300 SF motor fuel station and convenience retail store present on the site. ➢ Kwik Trip is proposing to redevelop the site with a new motor fuel station and convenience retail use. A Variance is requested to allow a detached trash enclosure. ➢ City Code requires trash enclosures in commercial zoning districts to be attached to the principal structure. The existing development has no trash enclosure. ➢ Kwik Trip states that the requested Variance is due to logistical issues with truck delivery and maneuvering on the site, limited size of the lot, and required setbacks and substantial topographical differences which constrain the buildable area of the lot. ➢ The proposed enclosure is 20' x 28, and will be constructed of brick to match the building and includes a covered storage area. Aside from being detached, the enclosure appears to satisfy design standards in the City Code. ➢ By providing an enclosure for trash containers, the site will be in greater compliance with the ordinance than the existing development, which has no enclosure. ➢ Redevelopment of the site will provide a brand new convenience gas facility. Other elements of the proposal are subject to City Code standards to be reviewed at the time of Building Permit.

PROPERTY OWNER: Kwik Trip, Inc REQUEST: Variance LOCATION: 4600 Slater Road CASE: 31 -VA -07-09-15 HEARING DATE: October 6, 2015 APPLICATION DATE: Sept. 4, 2015 PREPARED BY: Pamela Dudziak COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: RC, Retail Commercial ZONING: PD, Planned Development SUMMARY OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a Variance to allow a detached trash enclosure on property zoned for commercial uses at 4600 Slater Road, legally described as Lot 1, Block 1 and part of Outlot A, Oak Cliff 3rd Addition. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subdivision 3, B., 3, states that the Council may approve, approve with conditions or deny a request for a variance. In considering all requests for a variance, and whether the applicant established that there are practical difficulties in complying with the provisions(s) of this Chapter, the City Council shall consider the following factors: a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity, and result from lot size or shape, topography, or other circumstances over which the owner of property has no control. b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Code would deprive the applicant property use commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the provisions of this Code. c. The exceptional or extraordinary circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. d. The granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Chapter to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. Planning Report — Kwik Trip October 6, 2015 Page 2 e. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the practical difficulties. f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this Code or to properties in the same zone. g. The property for which the variance is requested is otherwise in compliance with the City Code. The ordinance also states "A variance will be denied when it is not in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning provisions of this Code or when the variance is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. Any condition imposed upon the approved variance must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance." CODE REOUIREMENTS City Code Sec. 11.70, Subd. 21-D provides design and performance standards for trash enclosures. The applicable standards for Planned Development zoning are dependent upon the allowed use in the Planned Development, and applicable standards for the comparable zoning district. In this case, the PD zoning allows a motor fuel station and convenience retail store; comparable zoning districts that allow this use are NB, Neighborhood Business, and CSC, Community Shopping Center. The ordinance requires trash and recyclables containers to be contained within an enclosure. In the NB and CSC zoning districts, such enclosures are required to be attached to the principal building. Trash Enclosures are subject to the following performance standards: a. The enclosure shall have an impermeable floor surface. b. The enclosure shall be attached to the principal building in the limited business (LB), neighborhood business (NB), general business (GB), community shopping center (CSC) and research and development (RD) zoning districts. d. The enclosure shall satisfy principal structures setbacks required for the applicable zoning district. e. The enclosure shall be constructed of materials to match the exterior of the principal structure, with gates or doors having at least 90 percent opacity. Planning Report — Kwik Trip October 6, 2015 Page 3 f. The enclosure shall be of sufficient size to enclose all trash and recyclables containers and shall be not less than six feet and not more than ten feet in height. g. The above provisions apply in addition to the provisions of chapter 10 of this code which regulate the storage, deposit, and disposal of refuse on all properties. SACKGROUND/HISTORY The property was platted in 1985 and is part of the Winkler/Jackson Planned Development, which was established in 1982 and consisted of 100 acres located south of Cliff Road and west of TH-77 (Cedar Ave.). The north and east portions of the Winkler/Jackson PD included retail commercial uses, the southern portion consisted of residential uses and park. The property is zoned PD, Planned Development, and is identified in the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan for Retail Commercial land uses. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is located on the southeast corner of Cliff Road and Slater Road. There is an existing 6,300 s.f. motor fuel station and convenience retail store present on the site, which was constructed in 1985. Access to the site is from Slater Road. The southern portion of this lot contains ponding. EVALUATION OF REOUEST Proposal — Kwik Trip is proposing to redevelop the site with a new Kwik Trip convenience retail store with motor fuel sales. While the proposed use of the property is the same as the existing use, a Variance is requested for the detached trash enclosure. City Code requires trash enclosures in commercial zoning districts to be attached to the principal structure; detached enclosures are allowed only in the industrial zoning districts and multi -family residential. Kwik Trip's proposed Site Plan has a similar layout to the existing, with the fuel pump canopy on the western portion of the property and the convenience store to the east. Unlike the existing development, however, the proposed Site Plan does not extend a service drive around the east (rear) side of the building. The Site Plan provides parking adjacent to the building and along the south edge of the pavement. A small patio seating area is located off the northwest corner of the building. The proposed detached trash enclosure is located in the southeast corner of the parking lot. The trash enclosure structure is 28' long and 20' deep, and includes an enclosed storage area. Variance Criteria — The Zoning Ordinance states that relief may be granted from a required ordinance provision provided there are special conditions that apply to the subject land, the relief is not contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Guide Plan, and it is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty. Planning Report — Kwik Trip October 6, 2015 Page 4 The purpose of the zoning standards is to consolidate the building area and provide minimal distance for dumping trash into the trash containers. The proposed enclosure location is detached from the principal structure, and is located at the corner of the pavement nearest the principal building. Evaluation — Redevelopment of the site will require a Building Permit, at which time a full set of construction plans will be required including Grading and Storm Drainage Plan, Landscape Plan and Building Elevations. This report evaluates only those elements related to the Variance request. Compliance with other City Code standards will be reviewed at the time of Building Permit. The proposal redevelops the site with the same use as existing, and will result in an updated facility. The existing development does not provide any trash enclosure. Consequently, the trash containers are currently stored outside without benefit of an enclosure. Thus, enclosing the trash containers will bring the property into greater compliance with the City ordinance. Also, the proposed enclosure is otherwise consistent with typical design standards in the City Code in regard to setbacks, size and materials. Setbacks — The proposed detached trash enclosure satisfies typical structure setbacks and is constructed of masonry materials to match the proposed principal building, as required by City Code. Gates should provide 90% opacity per City Code standards, and be constructed of a durable and low maintenance material in a color compatible with the masonry structure. Building Materials/Architectural Appearance — The trash enclosure is proposed to be constructed of brick to match the principal building. Height is not indicated on the plan, however, City Code requires a minimum 6' height and a maximum 10' height. Also, the enclosure must be of sufficient size to enclose both trash and recyclables materials containers and the 28' x 20' size appears to satisfy this standard and also provide enclosed storage space. Parking —Required parking is 1 stall per 200 s.f. Thus, the 7,179 s.f. building requires 36 parking stalls. The Site Plan provides 22 stalls plus 20 stalls at the fuel pumps for a total available parking of 42 stalls. Green Space and Building Coverage Ratios —Due to topography and ponding, development is concentrated on the northern portion of the site. The proposed Site Plan provides an approximately 1,700 s.f. net increase in impervious coverage as compared to the existing development. The proposed impervious coverage ratio is 31 %. Proposed green space is 69%, which is much more than the minimum required 30%. Additional provisions to meet stormwater management and water quality standards may be required, and compliance will be reviewed in conjunction with the Building Permit application. Planning Report — Kwik Trip October 61 2015 Page 5 APPLICANT'S PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES The applicant states that this site presents "many logistical truck delivery challenges" to an attached trash enclosure design, "because of the limited size of the lot, required setbacks, and substantial topography differences within the site." Structure setbacks of 50' do apply adjacent to TH-77 to the east and Cliff Road to the north. The southern portion of the site does contain a pond and wetland, and there is 20' of grade change south of the pavement. These factors are related to the physical characteristics of the property and constrain the buildable area of the lot. Attaching the trash storage to the south side of the building would interfere with the service access drive. Attaching it to the north side would conflict with the outdoor patio seating and place the enclosure in a front yard, between the building and Cliff Road where it would be more visible. Attaching it to the east (rear) side of the building would conflict with required setbacks, and the proposed Site Plan does not have a service drive extending around the east side of the building. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION In summary, Kwik Trip is proposing to redevelop the site with the same use and a new layout for the building, fuel pumps and site circulation. The applicant is requesting relief from the ordinance requirement to attach the trash enclosure to the principal building due to topography, setbacks and size of the lot. By providing an enclosure for trash containers the site will be in greater compliance with the ordinance than the existing conditions. The proposed enclosure otherwise satisfies City Code design standards. The proposed redevelopment will provide a brand new convenience gas facility, and other elements of the proposal will be subject to City Code standards to be reviewed at the time of Building Permit. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To approve a Variance to allow a detached trash enclosure on property zoned for commercial uses at 4600 Slater Road. If approved, the following conditions should apply: 1. If within one year after approval, the variance shall not have been completed or utilized, it shall become null and void unless a petition for extension has been granted by the council. Such extension shall be requested in writing at least 30 days before expiration and shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or utilize the use permitted in the variance. Planning Report — Kwik Trip October 6, 2015 Page 6 2. A building permit is required prior to commencing construction. 3. The enclosure shall be constructed of brick materials to match the principal structure. 4. The enclosure shall have gates providing 90% opacity, of a durable and low -maintenance material in a color that matches or is complementary to the brick. 5. The door to the storage area shall be painted to match the brick. SP1 1 , ii SA4 ivie^51LVi�1/� .I f, �` � rr /p� / !Yo % AW66 / mA r f PAIX 6„pgar. S.

This specific project consists of new construction of a Kwik Trip convenience store with fuel sales located at 4600 Slater Road. PID No. 10-53552-01-011 The variance we are pursuing is in regards to a stand-alone detached trash enclosure. Prototypical Kwik Trip store operations utilize an attached enclosure whenever feasible. This particular site offers many logistical truck delivery challenges because of the limited size of the lot, required setbacks and the substantial topography differences within the site. Kwik Trip purchased this particular site on 7/1/2015 to further expand and invest into the Minnesota market and the Eagan community. The current 30 year old c -store located on the property will have to be removed due to its poor condition. This will allow for a new state of the art solid brick architecture building that fits well within the community. Our stores typically employ 20- 30 full to part-time employees which are offered a full benefits package and very competitive industry wages. Since this site was developed in 1985, technology and engineering have advanced immensely. The re -development of this site will allow for outstanding improvements to the economy and ecology of the storm water management and infiltration systems. We would like to propose an all brick construction, stand-alone trash enclosure on the south portion of this lot to ensure safe and effective operations for our co-workers as well as our patrons. This location will give us the most improved truck circulation as well as allowing us to preserve the natural vegetation that is currently growing on the south and west of the site. I have attached rendered elevations of the proposed enclosure as well as a site plan showing the location. The architecture and materials are such that blend and match with our franchise building. Kwik Trip would be happy to provide any additional information or answer any questions or concerns the City of Eagan may have with our submission. Please feet free to contact me as you wish. Sincerely, Steven Lowe Kwik Trip, Inc - Store Engineering Project Manager 608-793-5954 s lowe()kwiktrip.com __W/xOur Mission: "To serve our customers and community more effectively than anyone else by treating our customers, co-workers and suppliers as we, personally, would like to be treated, and to make a difference In someone's life."

Rebecca Carter, applicant, explained the background of her business, the recent addition she made to her home and the basis for her request for a 24 month IUP term. Member Dierkes asked the applicant if she would seek to renew the IUP, if approved. Ms. Carter stated that she has no plans to do so. Vice Chair Vanderpoel opened the public hearing. Connie Lee, 1037 Beatrice Street, stated her support for this request and for small home-based businesses in general. Don Lee, 1037 Beatrice Street, stated his concern with government impeding a home-based business. The applicant's mother spoke in favor of the request. Victoria Johnson, 3650 Kolstad Road, stated her support for the request as her dog has special needs that cannot be accommodated at a typical commercial kennel. She also spoke to the businesses that exist in close proximity of the McKee residential area. There being no further public comment, Vice Chair Vanderpoel closed the public hearing and turned the discussion back to the Commission. Member Dierkes asked the applicant what happened in 2005 when she contacted the City. Ms. Carter explained she spoke to someone in licensing about fostering a couple of dogs and was told she did not need a business license. Member Piper stated he was sympathetic but that this was a policy question more suitable for the City Council and that he would be voting no on the request. Member Woebke moved, Member Dierkes seconded a motion to recommend approval of an Interim Use Permit to allow a kennel operation in a single family residential zone, subject to the following conditions: 1. The permit shall terminate on October 6, 2016. 2. The kennel operation is limited to a maximum of 12 guest dogs at any given time. Advisory Planning Commission September 21, 2015 Page 5 of 17 3. All parking supporting the use shall occur off-street. 4. The property owner/operator shall maintain a valid Kennel License and meet the Kennel Licensee requirements. 5. The property owner/operator shall provide the City a waste storage and removal plan for review and approval by Animal Control. 6. The Interim Use Permit shall be subject to an annual administrative review. The purpose of which shall be to determine that the conditions of the permit are being met. The Interim Use Permit may be revoked for failure to comply with any condition of the permit following notice of the noncompliance and a hearing by the City Council with all interested parties being given an opportunity to be heard. Members Woebke and Weimert stated they were inclined to support the request. Vanderpoel suggested a friendly amendment to modify the term from 24 months to 12 months. Woebke and Dierkes accepted the friendly amendment. Member Sagstetter stated he was not blaming the applicant but it was hard to know what question was actually answered when the initial contact was made with the City in 2005. He stated he agreed with Member Piper and would not support the motion. Motion carried 5-2 (Piper, Sagstetter) PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: September 8, 2015 APPLICANT: Rebecca Carter PROPERTY OWNER: Same REQUEST: Interim Use Permit LOCATION: 1049 McKee Street COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: LD Low Density ZONING: R-1 Residential Single Family SUMMARY OF REQUEST CASE: 15 -IN -02-08-15 HEARING DATE: September 21, 2015 APPLICATION DATE: August 18, 2015 PREPARED BY: Michael J. Ridley, AICP The applicant is requesting approval of an Interim Use Permit to allow a kennel operation in a single family residential zone located at 1049 McKee Street, legally described as Lot 5, Block 1, McKEE 2ND ADDITION. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50 Subdivision 6C states: The Council may issue interim use permits for an interim use of property if: 1. The use is deemed to be temporary in light of the Comprehensive Guide Plan designation for the property site on which the use is located and the use conforms to the bulk and performance standards of the zoning regulations herein; 2. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty; 3. Permission of the use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future; and 4. The user agrees to any conditions that the Council deems appropriate for permission of the use; and 5. The use meets the standards set forth in the zoning regulations herein governing conditional use permits. Planning Report — Carter IUP September 21, 2015 Page 2 6. The city determines that the property is in compliance with City Code. City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subdivisions 4C and 4D provide the following. Subdivision 4C states that the Planning Commission shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall issue such conditional use permits only if it finds that such use at the proposed location: 1. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. 2. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and City Code provisions. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area, nor substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. 4. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools. 5. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be hazardous or detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. 6. Will have vehicular ingress and egress to the property which does not create traffic congestion or interfere with traffic on surrounding public streets. 7. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. 8. Is appropriate after considering whether the property is in compliance with the City Code. Subdivision 4D, Conditions, states that in reviewing applications of conditional use permits, the Planning Commission and the Council may attach whatever reasonable conditions they deem necessary to mitigate anticipated adverse impacts associated with these uses, to protect the value of other property within the district, and to achieve the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. In all cases in which conditional uses are granted, the Council shall require such evidence and guarantees as it may deem necessary as proof that the conditions stipulated in connection therewith are being and will be complied with. Planning Report — Carter IUP September 21, 2015 Page 3 HISTORY/EXISTING CONDITIONS The MCKEE 2ND ADDITION plat was recorded in 1955. The 10,140 SF lot is developed with an existing single family home and detached garage. It appears the home was completed in 1956 and the garage was constructed in 1960. BACKGROUND Code Enforcement staff received a complaint regarding an illegal home occupation occurring at the subject site. Animal Control and Code Enforcement staff took steps to verify the complaint and a zoning compliance letter was sent to the property owner. Ms. Carter brought the property into compliance on or before August 3, 2015, and the enforcement case was closed. SURROUNDING USES The subject site is surrounded on all sides by single family detached homes. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposal — The applicant is proposing an Interim Use Permit (IUP) to allow a kennel operation with a maximum of twelve guest dogs at any one time for a period of two years. The primary service the applicant provides is overnight boarding. This typically involves 7-10 guest dogs; however, on certain occasions the number maxes out at 12. All dogs are required to be up to date on shots and heartworm prevention. Applicant's Narrative — The applicant states: "I've been offering in-home dog sitting and fostering since 2005. Prior to starting this I contacted the City of Eagan to ensure it was not a problem and would not be in violation of any laws or rules. ...I was informed that I was free to operate as planned, without a business license, provided the dogs were not my own and were only visiting on a short term basis." "I have been operating for 10 years without incident or complaint and have the full support of my neighbors." "...I took out a second mortgage to build an addition to my home that would allow more room for the growing client base...I am asking for a 24 month IUP to allow me some time to recuperate some of the cost and/or restructure my business in an approved zoning area" The complete narrative and a copy of the applicant's service contract are attached as exhibits to this report. Compatibility with Surrounding Area — Home occupations are permitted as an accessory use in residential districts with certain restrictions. Pet -boarding would be consistent with Home Planning Report — Carter IUP September 21, 2015 Paee 4 Occupation requirements provided the total number of pets on premise is less than four. Pet grooming would also be allowed as it would be considered similar to a home hair salon. City Code — The Code states "The purpose of an interim use permit is to allow a reasonable use of property for uses not specifically permitted in a zoning district on a temporary basis as deemed appropriate by the city council upon recommendation of the advisory planning commission and benefit the public good." Interim Use is defined as "a temporary use of property until a particular date, or until the occurrence of a particular event." Kennels are allowed by Conditional Use Permit in Agriculture and Industrial zones. If approved, a valid Kennel License should be required to be maintained by the applicant. City Code Definitions: Kennel — "any place, building, tract of land, abode or vehicle, wherein a total of four or more dogs or cats or combination, over six months of age, are kept, kept for sale, or boarded." Home occupation — "any occupation or profession engaged in by the occupant of a residential dwelling unit which is clearly incidental and secondary to the residential use of the premises, does not change the character of said premises and satisfies the requirements of this Code" Site Plan —No changes to the existing site are proposed. Policy Considerations — There are several commercial kennels operating in appropriate zoning districts presently. City policy makers should consider: ■ A precedent being set by allowing a commercial kennel operation in a residential zone ■ A commercial operation paying residential property taxes SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The applicant has been operating a kennel in her home for the past ten years and would like to continue boarding up to 12 dogs for a period of 24 months. Code Enforcement staff received a complaint regarding an illegal home occupation occurring at the subject site. Animal Control and Code Enforcement verified the complaint and a compliance letter was sent to the property owner. Subsequently, Ms. Carter brought the property into compliance on or before August 3, 2015, and the enforcement case was closed. The suitability of the request is a policy matter for City officials to determine.

[61R)WIn"WOWN�1 El AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EAGAN, MINNESOTA, AMENDING EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX ENTITLED "OTHER BUSINESS REGULATION AND LICENSING" BY AMENDING SECTION 6.38, REGARDING KENNELS; AND BY ADOPTING BY REFERENCE EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER 1 AND SECTION 6.99.

A printed copy of the ordinance is available for inspection by any person during regular office hours at the office of the City Clerk at the Eagan Municipal Center, 3830 Pilot Knob Road, Eagan, Minnesota 55122. Effective date. This ordinance shall take effect upon its passage and publication. August 18, 2015 To Whom It May Concern; I am applying for an Interim Use Permit to allow me to continue my small home-based dog sitting service at 1049 Mckee Street. I've been offering in-home dog sitting and fostering since 2005. Prior to starting this I contacted the City of Eagan to ensure it was not a problem and would not be in violation of any laws or rules. At that time I was informed that I was free to operate as planned, without a business license, provided that the dogs were not my own and were only visiting on a short-term basis. Given this information, I incorporated my business and began caring for dogs in my home. I have been operating for 10 years without incident or complaint and have the full support of my neighborhood. Over these years I have grown a strong client base, many of which are Eagan residents, who rely on my professional services. In short, I have cultivated a small but profitable service that provides me a way to keep close to home while raising my children and supporting my family. There are no special requirements or modifications needed to continue my business. I do not have any signage, parking, separate entrance or other things typically associated with a business. There are no outdoor kennels, as all care is provided in my home. All drop-off and pick-ups are limited to specific business hours out of respect for neighbors. The backyard is completely fenced with 6' PVC privacy fencing and is kept in good condition. In short, my services are offered in a single-family home in the Mckee Addition and do not change the character or purpose of my home. See enclosed photos. During the 10 years I have been in business I have invested heavily in my neighborhood and my property. I've built and maintained relationships with my neighbors, all of whom are in strong support of my business. Several of my neighbors rely on my services and appreciate the convenience of being so close. I have always kept my property well maintained and installed privacy fencing so as to keep my operation clean, secure, and professional. Most recently I built an addition to my home to offer more space for the dogs in my care, This addition was built within the rules and regulations of the city laws and building code. After being in business for a decade I have been informed that my in-home business is now considered a kennel operation, and that I will be unable to continue offering my services. I do not consider my services a kennel operation. I care for very few dogs at any given time and that care is provided in my home. I am not operating like a boarding kennel, which can usually be found to have several large, outdoor kennel runs housing a large number of dogs. The dogs I care for share my home with me and my family; they are healthy, well-behaved family clogs. All my clients dogs are required to be up-to-date on vaccinations (rabies, distemper and bordatella) of which I keep a copy on file at all times. As you may know, the McKee addition is a small neighborhood located within the MSP Noise Exposure Zone, surrounded by industrial and business zones. My business does not operate on a scale close to that of E-2 Air Park, local trucking companies, nor Lexington Business Center, all of which surround my neighborhood. As you can see from the attached maps we are a small pocket neighborhood and the only RI zone in the Eagandale Center Industrial Park 2. Given this location, I feel an NP is a reasonable request. My family has lived in this neighborhood since' 1989 and we value this community immensely. I am very conscientious and respectful of my neighbors and over the years I come to consider many of them friends. Attached you will find of letters of support from my immediate neighbors and several of my clients. In summary, I started this business so that I could stay home and raise my children while contributing to our household income. Like any business, as it grew I had to decide what direction to take it and I chose to keep it small and in-home versus investing in a large facility. Based on this decision I took out a second mortgage to build an addition to my home that would allow more room for the growing client base. Eight days after the final inspection and approval from the City of Eagan, I was informed that I was in violation of code and could not operate my business. in light of this timing I am asking for a 24 month IUP to allow me some time to recuperate some of the cost and/or restructure my business in an approved zoning area. It is my hope that the City will take all of these facts into consideration and approve an interim use permit that will allow me to continue operating my business and contributing to the economy as a corporate citizen. I am more than happy to pay any licensing or business fees, and comply with any inspection or reasonable quantity restrictions the City sees fit. I look forward to working with the City to get this permit approved. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

We are shocked and sad to hear that something has come in the way of her continuing her business and her service to so many people like us, who depend an her. Over these years, we have come to know Rebecca, her husband Dave, their three lovely children, and even Rebecca's mom. They are all lovely people, upstanding citizens, contributors to their community, and people we trust These days we are always being told by government leaders that citizens should become self-starters, that we should support small business initiatives, and that the answers to social problems lie in our own personal efforts to grow and thrive. Rebecca Carter of all people should be celebrated and acknowledged by the City for her drive and initiative, at the very least. If her home business must be closed, we would want for her to be supported with City resources to find a new way to continue her business elsewhere.

Aaaresident of Eagan, employee ofolocal small business (Formula Corporation,) a client and friend; I consider Rebecca Carter and Canine Caretakers an invaluable asset to not only my family, but also our growing community. Eagan residents pride ourselves on being an exceptional place to raise a family, including our four legged family members, Rebecca and Canine Caretakers provide what a larger setting cannot, ahome away from home. Rebecca Carter is a mother first, and that resonates with her dogs. She is a natural leader and caregiver, of which are evident |nher understanding of dog mentality and her attentive care of their needs. Not only is Rebecca the animals pack leader, she makes them feel as though they are members of her own family.

I could not leave my dog in good conscious at a large, kenneled boarding facility with people who work shifts and offer no real connection with my dog. Training is about consistency and nothing bmore consistent than ahome environment and someone who lsable to familiarize with my dog on his own level. Knowing my dog is in a home with a family, around kids like he is at home, in an area with familiar sounds and smells is a relief to me.

Sincerely, Victoria Johnson 3650 Kolstad Rd Eagan, MN 55123 July 27, 2015 To The City Council: I'm writing this note regarding Rebecca Carter of Canine Caketakers. Over eight years ago I was _Q tQ d"n For many years my husband, our children and I hadn't had a vacation: having three dogs somewhat limits ones ability to get up and go when you want to. When we decided to make an effort to take a vacation, I looked at numerous boarding kennels, and was very frustrated and increasingly distressed. Kennels by their nature keep dogs in cages with concrete floors, only letting them out to a specific "run" area a couple of times a day. if I wished the dogs to have a walk — that is, fora human being to take them for exercise outside of the kennel — there was an extra fee. Our dogs are part of the family, and we wouldrft treat our family that way. I began to wonder if wed ever have a vacation. Somehow, I heard about Canine Caretakers. I contacted Rebecca Carter and visited her. I was impressed by her way with dogs and her warmth, and the fact that she welcomes dogs into her home and cares for them like her own, Moreover, I was delighted because I found someone I could trust — and, now my family co6ld'take a vaction't For the past eight years we've used Rebecca Carter's services When my family has gone on vacation. I have never been disappointed. My dogs are happy (I can tell from the pictures she sands) and never stressed out or anxious when they come home. We even adopted a dog Rebecca was fostering for another client; Miko has now been part of our family for five years. Rebecca went to 'one -Ur him, and I Will always be impressed with her level of committment to finding Miko a good home. In short, Rebecca performs a valuable service to dog owners who want a loving home away from home for their dogs. I hope she can continue to provide this service for many years to come. SI nc"Y, :do � IPafton and. Mark McLellan WA 1 4, N, III St, Louii�Park, MN 55426 612-345.0285 To whom it may concern: I am writing this to you to share my experience regarding Rebecca Carter, and her dog sitting business. She and I met a few years ago when I was in desperate need of some help caring for my dog. We were moving to the twin cities, and my dog at the time was sweet natured, generous, kind and timid. The only options I could find were boarding facilities, kennels and vet offices, all of which used crate or concrete or metal kennels, or cages. Luckily I met Rebecca whose experience with dogs gave her the unique perspective and skill to open her home to my dog, and when he stayed with her he was treated like a family member, he lived in her house, with her family. He was secure and happy, and carne home happy and relaxed. Previous experiences from vets offices or boarding facilities left him anxious and ill. Rebecca and her family are loving and caring people, and I can't say enough positive things about her, or how grateful I am that she is willing to open her home to our dogs. Her place is not a kennel, or a vet office. It isn't sterile, or institutional, it is homey. I feel so very fortunate to be able to call her and know that when my dogs stay with her, they are treated as I would treat them. I am happy to make myself available in case someone from the city council wants to call me. Thank you, and sincerely, Caprice Bart 612-518-4578 To whom it may concern - 1 am writing this email in support of Rebecca and Canine Caretakers. We have used Rebecca many times to board our golden retriever Max, when we have been out of town. Max came into our lives as a rescue dog. He had many personality problems, aggression problems, and an Issue with adult males, and other dogs. After the first time that Max stayed at Rebecca's, we knew he had a home away from home when we traveled. Rebecca was able to not only handle him professionally, had him safely mingle with other dogs, and interact with her family. All with no problems! Canine Caretakers has been an absolute godsend for our family and Max. It is so wonderful to know that he is in a loving, caring, safe, secure and controlled environment when he stays Rebecca's home. It gives us such peace of mind when we leave him there. 'I would never trust the big kennel type operation for Max. It would be a real loss for the city of Eagan, and surrounding communities, if Canine Caretakers were not in operation. If you require me to do anything else, including standing in front of the board myself, I will do whatever it to make sure Canine Caretakers stays open. !reel free to contact me if necessary. Once again it would be a travesty for Canine Caretakers to be shut down, for my family, for my dog Max, and for the community as a whole. Sincerely, Sam Broberg and family, and Max the golden reWeved Dear Eagan City Council, We are reaching out to the city of Eagan on behalf of our daughter, Rebecca Carter, owner of Canine Caretakers. We just want to let you know that in order for her to stay at home and raise her family she quit her corporate job to start her in home dog care services. She took all the necessary steps to be certain everything was done professionally in order to become a legitimate business owner. We take great pride in the small business Rebecca has created in her home. When we get together for family events at her house you wouldn't even know she had dogs there. She keeps her home very well maintained, clean, quiet and secure for dogs that stay with her family. She is a natural born dog leader and keeps order in her home at all times with the dogs she brings in to care for while their family is away. I personally have gotten to know some of the clients who bring their pets to Canine Caretakers and know how much they appreciate the in home service Rebecca provides. There have not been any incidences, disruption or complaints at all since she started this business 10 years ago and we feel there is no reason the city should have her close the door. It is a very small business that she runs; this is not a boarding kennel. The pets that come to her home are part of the family and are treated as such. I trust that the city will reconsider and allow Canine Caretakers to stay in business so that Rebecca can continue to earn a living and support her household.

She is a very entrepreneurial and engaging business woman who twined a hobby and passion into a business that helps support her family. Rebecca provides a valuable service to the community in providing care to a small number of pets. More importantly, she is a very honest and sensitive person to her neighbors and is concerned about their well-being. I have always been impressed about how clean and organized her house and backyard is; you would never know that there were pets living there. I would be thrilled to have Rebecca's family as my neighbor in Saint Paul and hope the City of Eagan is fair in their treatment of her small business.

I have owned and resided at 1045 McKee St, Eagan for 38 years. This is a quiet residential area inhabited by a combination of older residents, like myself, or young families. The properties are of modest size approximately 0.2-0.25 acres each with houses in close approximation with each other. For 10 years my neighbor at 1049 McKee has gradually gone from the occasional dog sitting for friends to a full-fledged dog kennel business with 10 plus dogs at a time. Over the years I have been tolerant ad neighborly, even when this has meant increased traffic, noise and safety concerns. As it stands, many of my friends refuse to visit because of concerns for the dogs next door. Additionally, there was an aggressive overture from one dog toward my greatgrandson who is a frequent visitor I mistakenly believed she was operating with a license and permit. This is apparently, not true. Therefore, I object to this petition to allow for the continued operation of this business within an area mu ch too small too safely house, kennel and care for theses animals not be approved. I have no objections to her business, but it needs to be set up on an appropriately sized property with compatible zoning. In summation, I formally object to a business permit for a dog kennel next door to my home. It increases non- residential traffic, noise, and exposure of potentially aggressive animals to residents and visitors.It is a safety concern and decreases outdoor activities and property value. Additionally, allowing for residential use of a small house and yard in this manner sets a precedence for other such businesses. Thank you for hearing my concerns. I regret the hard feelings and hardship this decision may be to Becka and her family. Sincerely, Mary C. Ratliff From: Mary Ratliff [mailto:moverdahl@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, September 28, 2015 5:54 PM To: APC; Mike Ridley Subject: Interim Use Permit to allow a kennel in a residential area: File #02 -IN -02-08-15 Dear Eagan City Council members, Since the Advisory Planning Commission's meeting and support of a dog kennel in a residential neighborhood, it has raised new questions for me, the property owner at 1045 McKee St. The questions raised issues which are expressed as concerns in the following way: 1. That the use permit is terminated if the property is sold before permit ends. Since the use permit is granted for the needs and values of the current owner, but stays with the property when transferred to a different owner is unsettling as the new owner may have different intentions and values than the current owner. 2. That aggressive breed dogs are not allowed. 3. That a substantial personal injury insurance policy be in place. In the event an unfortunate injury occurs caused by one of the dogs, Homeowners would not cover and suing should not be a restorative option. How high should the limit be? I'm not sure. More time is needed to research this insurance issue. 4. That when the kenneled dogs are assimilated into the neighborhood for walks, a muzzle be used. 5. That the city monitors vaccination records of dogs before they can be kenneled in our neighborhood. We request these modifications to a use permit because I live next door and take care of my great grandson age 2 and a half three plus days a week. We had an incident this summer. He and I were in front of my house. Becka was walking a boarded dog who growled and started after him. She controlled the situation, but it happened again before she removed the dog. Also, our property value is diminished with a kennel next door. I have lived here 38 years and qualify as an older homeowner, I'm 73. We are considering selling and want the property to be attractive for young families who may want the option of having a day care which is common in our neighborhood. A kennel next to a day care is not safe. I remain opposed to a dog kennel in a residential neighborhood. But, if a use permit is granted, I hope you will seriously consider each of the issues brought forth in this letter. Thank you for hearing and addressing my concerns. Sincerely, Mary C. Ratliff Please accept this letter in formal objection to the petition for allowance of the continued illegal operation of a dog kennel at the adjacent residential property to mine. I have owned and resided at 1045 McKee Street, Eagan for 38 years. This is a quiet residential area inhabited by a combination of older residents, like myself, or young families. The properties are of modest size approximately 0.2-0.25 acres each with houses in close approximation of each other. For 10 years my neighbor McKee has gradually gone from the occasional dog sitting for friends and neighbors to a full-fledged dog kennel business with 10-15 dogs daily. This summer she built an addition with the intention of expanding to 30 dogs. Initially, when it was just a few dogs occasionally, I did not object. Over the years I have been tolerant and neighborly, even when this has meant increased traffic, noise, and safety concerns. As it stands, many of my friends refuse to visit out of concern for the dogs next door. Additionally, there have been aggressive overtures from the dogs toward my great grandchildren who are frequent visitors. I falsely believed she was operating with a license and permit. This is apparently, not true. It is my unequivocal stance that this petition to allow for the continued illegal operation of this business within a residential area, especially within a property much too small to safely house, kennel and care for these animals, not be approved. This is not a commercial neighborhood. I have no objections to her business, but it needs to be set up on an appropriately sized property with appropriate zoning. In summation, I formally object to a business permit for a dog kennel next door to my home. A dog kennel next door increases non-residential traffic, noise, and exposure of potentially aggressive animals to the residents and our visitors. The owner has stated that she controls these animals using bark collars and sedatives, which is in itself concerning. Having a kennel next door is a safety concern, decreases my ability to enjoy the pursuit of outdoor activities and decreases property values. Additionally, allowing for residential use of a small house and yard in this manner sets a precedence for other such businesses. I understand there is a hearing to decide whether the dog kennel will be allowed to operate in a residential area of not. The kennel owner in question has hired a lawyer to assist in the process, however, I do not have the same means to defend myself and therefore ask for the City of Eagan to please consider my concerns and exception to allowing a potentially dangerous commercial business to continue to exist and expand. Thank you for hearing my concerns. Sincerely, Mary C. Ratliff CC: Eagan City Council - citycouncil@cityofeagan.com Kare 11 news WCCO News Star Tribune Governor Mark Dayton City of EaRan ma TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR OSBERG DATE: OCTOBER 5, 2015 SUBJECT: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / OCTOBER 6, 2015 CITY COUNCIL MEETING NEW BUSINESS A. Interim Use Permit — Rebecca Carter Enclosed is a letter that was received from Rebecca Carter responding to the letter of opposition that was included in the City Council packet on Friday. Attachments: (1) 10-2-15 Letter from Rebecca Carter October 2"d, 2015 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this to address a letter of opposition that has come in recently regarding my application for an Interim Use Permit. I am dumfounded by these false allegations that my neighbor, Mary Ratliff of 1045 Mckee Street, has made against me. I've known and considered her a friend for over 25 years. My kids have grown up sharing their veggies from our garden, cutting flowers with her and mowing her lawn. She has reached out to me over the years for advice and help with her own personal dogs who she's had behavior and barking issues with. I've even walked her dogs as she has expressed that she's not able to control them on leash. In short, I do not know where these fallacies are coming from as we've always had a great, neighborly relationship. The claims she is making are libelous and are cause for concern. I have never stated to her, nor do I, use sedation or bark collars to control the dogs in my care, as she has suggested. It is unsettling to think one would believe this to be true. In addition, her claims that I am a "full-fledged dog kennel business with 10-15 dogs daily" and have "intention of expanding to 30 dogs", is outrageous. My service is provided in my family home; I do not care for 10-15 dogs a day nor would I even entertain the idea. If I was operating at that level my financials, which I am open to sharing as evidence to support, would show me earning upwards of 150k a year. In reality, my service is a small in-home business that provides supplemental income to help support my household and enables me to stay home and raise my children. We provide care for an average of 3-5 dogs a day. The exception to that is over holidays and school breaks where we can comfortably care for 8-10 dogs. This is in addition to my own 2 family dogs. Additionally, if I intended to care for 30 dogs I would have invested in a large commercial property that would allow for that kind of growth, not my family home. I'd also like to address her concerns/issues she's asked the city to consider in her correspondence dated 9/28/2015. 1. There is no cause for concern that said permit would be transferred to another owner. My family has owned this home since 1989 and has no intentions to sell. I recently built an addition to accommodate my growing family and small business. I have children who are rooted in this community and schools. 2. There is no aggressive dog breed. There are aggressive dogs, which I do not accept into my home. I meet with all dogs to certify their temperament prior to accepting them into my home for care. In addition, owners are required to sign Certificate of Health and Temperament prior to care. (Copy attached) 3. 1 carry sufficient home/property/business liability insurance. In addition, owners are required to sign a Waiver and Assumption to Hold Harmless agreement prior to care. This includes assuming the financial responsibility for any destruction, injury or damages to property or individuals. (Copy attached) 4. All dogs in my care are walked on a leash and are friendly, social family pets that do not need to be muzzled. This is also not a reasonable request as the City does not require muzzles for dogs that are not deemed dangerous. At all other times the dogs in my care are contained in my home or within my backyard which is enclosed by a 6' privacy fence. 5. All dogs are required to be current on vaccinations which include; Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella and Heartworm preventative during summer months. Proof of vaccinations is required before care is provided. Again, this is in my contract which is signed prior to care. (Copy attached) Her concern for the safety of her great grandson and any other children or persons is one I take seriously. I have 3 children myself and would never put them or any others in danger. Please note that I do not care for aggressive or unstable dogs, as is stated in my attached contract. The incident she is referring to this past summer is inaccurate. The dog in question is my own personal dog, who is licensed, vaccinated and has extensive obedience training including an AKC Working Aptitude Evaluation and continued therapy dog training. He was with me on a leash in my yard and barked at her and her great -grand son. I corrected and removed my dog so I could talk to my neighbor without interruption and she expressed no concern or issue, we visited for a few minutes and went on our way. As you can see from the pictures of my property there is no exposure to dogs from my property to hers. We are separated by two 6' privacy fences, a driveway, garden and yard. In addition, we installed a secondary 6' privacy fence 30' from her property line so there would not be any contact between her dogs and ours. There is no concern over diminishing property value as I take pride in my home and keep it meticulously maintained; if anything my home adds to the value of our family neighborhood as I have made many improvements to it. In the last 2 years the homes directly next to me (1053 Mckee) and across the street (1048 Mckee) have sold in under a week for asking price. Both buyers were informed that I care for dogs in my home and there was no issue. In summary, I would like the City to know that I am open to answer and address any questions or concerns regarding this matter. It is my hope that the City looks at these false claims carefully before passing judgment. I have always prided myself on being an ethical, responsible and considerate neighbor and small business owner. This shows in my personal and professional relationships which is reflected in the many letters of support received regarding this matter. To be clear, I am not asking to operate a large scale commercial boarding kennel that would disrupt a family neighborhood. I only want to continue my small home-based dog sitting service where I care for friendly, family dogs.

No changes to the site lighting are proposed. The existing lighting was installed for the loading and parking area Wetlands — City Ponds DP -11, EP -3, and EP -3.1, classified as natural wetlands, are located on portions of this parcel. Because the outdoor storage will not result in any wetland alteration activities, the City's Wetland Protection and Management Regulations (City Code § 11.67) do not apply. Stormwater Management/ Water QualitX — The applicant does not propose an increase to the amount of existing imperious surface. Therefore, City's Post Construction Stormwater Management Requirements (City Code §4.34) for stormwater management and surface water quality do not apply.

Outdoor Storage Standards— In addition to the requirements for a conditional use permit listed above, City Code Section 11.70, Subdivision 22, C, 2, lists performance standards for outdoor storage as follows: a. Outdoor storage items shall be placed within an enclosure as necessary to achieve appropriate security and containment or for public safety reasons when determined necessary by the city ... In limited industrial (I-1) and general industrial (I-2) zoning districts, the enclosure may be detached fi^om the principal building. The outdoor storage area is not proposed to be enclosed. The PODS storage containers are 8' tall, 16' long, and 8' wide. They are designed to be stacked, and proposed to be stacked in the storage area, with a total height of 16'. For security, all PODS containers should be empty, and all PODS containers should be locked to prevent unauthorized access into the units. b. The storage area shall be located in the side or rear yards and shall not encroach into any required front building setback area or other required setbacks. The storage area is proposed in the side yard, and contained within the existing paved area which meets the required minimum setbacks of 5' from both the side and rear property lines. Planning Report — PODS September 21, 2015 Page 5 c. The outdoor storage area shall be screened from view from the public Night -of -way and from any adjacent property which is designated for residential uses in the comprehensive guide plan. The storage area is at the rear of the site. There is a wooded area to the east. The proposed outdoor storage is visible from the street and from the school property to the south. Landscape screening should be added in both locations to enhance screening limit visibility of the storage area from off the site. A landscape plan should be provided for staff review and approval, prior to release of the Conditional Use Permit for recording. Landscaping should be installed by July 1, 2016. d. The storage area shall not interfere with any pedestrian or vehicular movement. This standard is met as the proposed outdoor storage area is located adjacent to the building in the loading dock and truck maneuvering area. e. The storage area shall not take up required parking spaces or landscaping areas. The storage area is not displacing landscaping or green space. The layout of PODS containers provided by the applicant occupies the truck dock area adjacent to the building. Based on the submitted site plan, l Iparking stalls in this area of the lot are occupied by the proposed outdoor storage. The site is currently provides about half of the required amount of parking for the 218,000 s.f. warehouse building. City Code requires 227 stalls, 104 are currently provided. The impact to parking of the outdoor storage is minimal, and there is no indication that the current amount of parking is insufficient. Should additional parking prove necessary in the future, it appears that parking could be expanded on the east side of the property. f. The storage area shall be surfaced with concrete or an approved equivalent to control dust and erosion. The surface shall be properly maintained to prevent deterioration. The storage area is surfaced with bituminous asphalt and edged with concrete curb and gutter. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The applicant is proposing outdoor storage of PODS containers southeast of the building. With few exceptions, the proposed storage area appears to satisfy the outdoor storage performance standards in the City Code. For security, the containers should be empty, and locked to prevent unauthorized access. The proposal does not expand the paved area or increase the impervious surface coverage. Additional landscaping should be added to screen the storage area from both the street and the school the south.

PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: September 14, 2015 APPLICANT: Matheson Gas CASE: 11 -CU -05-08-15 HEARING DATE: September 21, 2015 PROPERTY OWNER: Mike Collins Bldg LLC APPLICATION DATE: August 19, 2015 REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit LOCATION: 3191 Mike Collins Drive PREPARED BY: Sarah Thomas COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: IND, Limited Industrial ZONING: I-1, Limited Industrial SUMMARY OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow outdoor storage of compressed and liquefied gases, as well as vehicles and trailers, upon property located at 3191 Mike Collins Drive. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Conditional Use Permit: City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subdivisions 4C and 4D provide the following. Subdivision 4C states that the Planning Commission shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall issue such conditional use permits only if it finds that such use at the proposed location: 1. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. 2. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and City Code provisions. 3. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area, nor substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. Planning Report — Matheson Gas September 21, 2015 Page 2 4. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools. 5.

Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. 8. Is appropriate after considering whether the property is in compliance with the City Code. Subdivision 4D, Conditions, states that in reviewing applications of conditional use permits, the Planning Commission and the Council may attach whatever reasonable conditions they deem necessary to mitigate anticipated adverse impacts associated with these uses, to protect the value of other property within the district, and to achieve the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. In all cases in which conditional uses are granted, the Council shall require such evidence and guarantees as it may deem necessary as proof that the conditions stipulated in connection therewith are being and will be complied with. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The property was platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Eagandale Center Industrial Park No. 18 in 2003. The parcel consists of 11.78 acres, of which 2.5 acres are wetland. EXISTING CONDITIONS The 33,000 SF warehouse building and parking lot were constructed with the original development of the site in 2004. The building is surrounded by parking lots and drive aisles and access is provided to Mike Collins Drive. The building is connected to City sewer and water services. Standard drainage and utility easements are located along the west and east sides of the property, an easement cover City Pond EP -1 at the north side of the property, and Northern States Power has a 50 foot wide easement along the west property line. A railway owned by Canadian Pacific Railroad is immediately west of the property. The site is heavily treed around the perimeter of the pond, and the rest of the site is open. SURROUNDING USES The subject site is surrounded by I-1, Limited Industrial properties. Planning Report — Matheson Gas September 21, 2015 Page 3 EVALUATION OF REQUEST Compatibility with Surrounding Area — Outdoor storage is a conditional use in the I-1 zoning district. The proposed use appears generally compatible with the surrounding properties and existing uses. Site Plan — Outdoor storage is proposed in two areas on the site consisting of cylinder gases as well as tractors, trailers and trucks. A portion of the existing asphalt parking lot on the west side of the building, and a portion of the grass island at the south end of the building, would be removed and replaced with concrete pads to be used for the storage areas. Bollards and a 6' chain link fence with barbed wire atop (total height 7') are shown around the areas in and adjacent to the paved areas. Similar fencing is also proposed in the grass area, located south of the building. Public Safety has reviewed the perimeter containment and finds it in compliance with the Fire Code. No other changes are proposed to the existing parking lot. Outdoor Storage Requirements — 1. Outdoor storage items shall be placed within an enclosure as necessary to achieve appropriate security and containment or for public safety reasons when determined necessary by the city. In general business (GB) and community shopping center (CSC) zoning districts, the enclosure shall be attached to the principal building and be constructed of materials which are aesthetically compatible with the principal building. In limited industrial (I-1) and general industrial (I-2) zoning districts, the enclosure may be detached from the principal building. A total of 10 tractors, trailers and trucks are identified on the Site Plan, located at the loading docks at the back of the building. This area is not proposed to be enclosed. The two locations with gas tank storage are proposed to be enclosed with bollards and fencing. 2. The storage areas shall be located in the side or rear yards and shall not encroach into any required front building setback area or other required setbacks. The proposal satisfies this condition. The majority of the outdoor storage occurs in the rear yard with a portion extending into the side yard, south of the building. 3. The outdoor storage area shall be screened from view from the public right-of-way and from any adjacent property which is designated for residential uses in the comprehensive guide plan. The proposed storage areas are screened from public right-of-way by the existing building except for approximately 15 feet that extends beyond the south side of the building. According to the applicant's narrative, within this area will be "a three -sided structure constructed of concrete for the storage of silane. This small structure would Planning Report — Matheson Gas September 21, 2015 Paee 4 have a canopy and also have gas monitoring." Two gas storage tanks are also proposed in this area. The area will be screened by an 8' chain link fence. The applicant should plant coniferous trees in this location to screen the view from the public right-of-way. 4. The storage area shall not interfere with any pedestrian or vehicular movement. The proposal satisfies this condition. The proposed location as identified on the Site Plan allows adequate emergency vehicle access and minimal occurrence of pedestrian movement. S. The storage area shall not take up required parking spaces or landscaping areas. The proposal satisfies this condition. The I-1 zoning district requires a minimum of 25% green space on the property. The proposal only adds 987 SF of hardcover to the site which still leaves over 80% of the site as green space. 6. The storage area shall be surfaced with concrete or an approved equivalent to control dust and erosion. The surface shall be properly maintained to prevent deterioration. The proposal satisfies this condition. Wetlands — City Ponds EP -1, classified as a natural wetland, is located along the northeastern portion of this parcel. Because the outdoor storage will not result in any wetland alteration activities, the City's Wetland Protection and Management Regulations (City Code §11.67) do not apply. Stormwater Management/Water Quality — The applicant proposes to increase the amount of impervious surface by 987 square -feet. The City's Post Construction Stormwater Management Requirements (City Code §4.34) for stormwater management and surface water quality do not apply because the increase in impervious surface is below 10,000 square -feet. Utilities — The existing building on the site is connected to the City sanitary sewer and water main systems. No additional connections are proposed with this application. Streets/Access/Circulation — Public street access will remain unchanged at the existing location onto Mike Collins Drive. Financial Obligation — At this time, there are no pending assessments on the parcel. Planning Report — Matheson Gas September 21, 2015 Paae 5 SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow outdoor storage of compressed and liquefied gases, as well as box trucks, semi -tractors and trailers. The site is located in an industrial area and the proposed outdoor storage satisfies five of the six outdoor storage criteria. The outdoor storage standard not met is the requirement of proper screening of the proposed storage from Mike Collins Drive. Through conditions of approval, this storage standard should be met. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow outdoor storage of compressed and liquefied gases, as well as vehicles and trailers, upon property located at 3191 Mike Collins Drive. If approved, the following conditions shall apply: This Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded at Dakota County within 60 days of approval by the City Council and proof of its recording provided to the City. 2. The outdoor storage shall be limited to those items identified, and located as illustrated, on the revised Site Plan received September 14, 2015. 3. The applicant shall install bollards per the Site Plan received September 14, 2015. 4. No additional outdoor storage shall be allowed. 5. All parking and storage areas shall be properly maintained to prevent deterioration. 6. The chain link and barbed wire fence shall not exceed 7 feet in height. 7. The applicant shall provide a landscape plan that includes the addition of multiple coniferous trees to screen the outdoor storage from the public right-of-way. rtN�S �O� o m9 City of Eapn Location Map N Project Name: Matheson Gas Request: Conditional Use Permit 11ONr-GA RQ -1 Case No: 11 -CU -05-08-15 °OOR Subject Site ss® Bur Oaks 0111 R.

The location was previously used as a trucking distribution center and is currently vacant. Matheson is seeking to relocate from its current location in New Brighton, MN and lease the facility at 3191 Mike Collins Drive to use it as a production and distribution center for various compressed and liquefied gases along with associated warehoused hard goods. Cylinder gases which would be filled at this site are: • Medical, industrial, and high purity grade oxygen • Medical, industrial, and high purity grade nitrogen • Industrial and high purity grade argon • Medical and industrial grade carbon dioxide • Medical grade nitrous oxide • Industrial and high purity grade helium • Industrial shielding gas mixtures containing argon/carbon dioxide/helium/nitrogen/oxygen Location modifications which would be required to accomplish the production functions are: • Outdoor installation of six cryogenic storage tanks which would be used to store liquid oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide. The tank systems would also include the installation of ambient air vaporizers, storage tubes, and a pump for each product. Perimeter fencing around the tank pad area would be installed for security and protection. • Outdoor storage of a helium tube trailer • Creating a room within the current building that is rated for H-3 occupancy to allow for indoor storage and filling of oxygen cylinders. • Outdoor installation of an emergency generator to maintain power in the event of a power outage. • At some point in the future, space for a hydrogen tube trailer if justified by business needs. This facility will also serve as a distribution center to serve customers in the Minnesota market. In addition to distributing products which will be produced at the facility, company owned vehicles will also deliver welding hard goods and cylinder gases which would not be produced at the facility. Location needs and modifications required to accomplish distribution functions would be: • Outdoor parking of tractors, trailers, and trucks • Creating a room within the current building that is rated for H-2 occupancy to allow for indoor storage of flammable gases such as propane and acetylene for redistribution. • Installation of a modular, fire rated, special purpose gas cylinder storage building for inventorying gases which are classified as hazardous. This special purpose modular building will be equipped with a sprinkler system, gas detection system, and will be continuously ventilated into special purpose abatement units which are designed to adsorb any released gas in the unlikely event of a cylinder leak. Cylinder gases inventoried in these storage units will be stored and redistributed. There will be no production of these gases at the facility and cylinder valves on these products will not be opened at the facility. • Installation of a three -sided structure constructed of concrete for the storage of silane. This small structure would have a canopy and also have gas monitoring. • installation of perimeter fencing around the special purpose gas cylinder storage area for security and protection. A projected inventory of each gas type is included with this application under separate attachment. Upon approval by the City of Eagan, Matheson's intent would be to start on any interior building modification in an immediate fashion and pour the cement foundations for the tanks and exterior storage units when weather allows to accommodate a facility start-up by the early second quarter of 2016. Agenda Information Memo October 6, 2015, Eagan City Council Meeting NEW BUSINESS D.

File Number: 01 -CG -02-08-15 City Planner Ridley introduced this item and highlighted the information presented in the City Staff report dated September 17, 2015. Kevin Warren, Minnesota Vikings Chief Operating Officer (COO), provided some background including that the Vikings have simply outgrown their Winter Park facilities located in Eden Prairie. He stated the Vikings ownership group is excited to explore the subject site and that they have a big vision for the property. Steve Poppen, Minnesota Vikings Chief Financial Officer (CFO), walked the Commission and audience through a PowerPoint presentation that described the mix of uses and the overall vision of a coordinated development. Member Piper asked why retail and residential land uses were being sought. Don Becker, Minnesota Vikings Stadium Project Executive, explained the live, work and play concept the ownership group has in mind. He also stated that flexibility is important as the project timeline is anticipated to be 10-15 years and no one knows what market forces will be present 10+ years down the road. Member Sagstetter asked where the nearest residential property was in relation to Winter Park. Pat Mascia, attorney representing the Minnesota Vikings, stated the nearest residential to Winter Park is some distance away. He went on to say the ownership group sees the property in Eagan, and its proximity to the regional transportation system, as a location for a development that will provide a regional draw. Mr. Warren and Mr. Becker responded to questions by stating the development team sees a fully integrated park and trail system that will be available to the general public and that the Vikings organization is very in tune with the security necessary for their facility and their ability to work with outside agencies. Vice Chair Vanderpoel opened the public hearing. Steve Chavez, 1587 Skyline Path, stated his support for the project and the unique opportunity it presents for the community. Advisory Planning Commission September 21, 2015 Page 15 of 17 Greg Miller, Interstate Partners, stated his support for the project and characterized it as an unbelievable asset for the area and for Eagan as a whole. John Cole, Cole Enterprises, stated his concern on the east/west street connection to IGH and the potential impact on his family's property. A representative from Trinity School at River Ridge, 601 River Ridge Parkway, stated his support for the request. Frances O'Neill, 820 O'Neill Drive, asked that traffic impacts be studied before the development is approved. Vicki Stute, Dakota County Regional Chamber President, stated her organization's support for the unique proposal. There being no further public comment, Vice Chair Vanderpoel closed the public hearing and turned the discussion back to the Commission. Vice Chair Vanderpoel stated to the audience that the APC's review of the amendment request was at a very high level and that future applications would provide the opportunity to flesh out the various details raised during the Public Hearing. A motion to recommend approval and a second were made. Member Piper stated he was in favor of the amendment and suggested that the more office use the better. Member Dierkes stated his interest in seeing how the residential component can come together and not feel so isolated. Members Sagstetter and Weimert stated their support for the application. Member Piper moved, Member Weimert seconded a motion to recommend approval of a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment.to change the land use designation from SA -MO (Special Area -Major Office) to SA -MIXED (Special Area -Mixed Use), upon approximately 194 acres.

PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: September 17, 2015 APPLICANT: EVS for MVZ Ventures LLC PROPERTY OWNER: Excelsior Group, Interstate Partners REQUEST: Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment CASE: 01 -CG -02-08-15 HEARING DATE: September 21, 2015 APPLICATION DATE: August 28, 2015 PREPARED BY: Michael J. Ridley, AICP Erik Slettedahl LOCATION: 194 acre located South of I-494, east of Dodd Road, west of Ames Crossing Road (former Delta Airlines property) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: SA -MO, Special Area -Major Office ZONING: PD, Planned Development and A, Agricultural SUMMARY OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from SA -MO (Special Area -Major Office) to SA -MIXED (Special Area -Mixed Use), upon approximately 194 acres located south of I-494 and east of Dodd Road (Hwy 149), west of Ames Crossing Road. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW The city's Comprehensive Guide Plan was prepared pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 473.864. As defined by statute, the Land Use Plan is a guide and may be amended from time to time as conditions change. The city's Guide Plan is to be implemented by official controls such as zoning and other fiscal devices. The creation of land use districts and zoning is a formulation of public policy and a legislative act. As such, the classification of land uses must reasonably relate to promoting the public health, safety, morals and general welfare. When a change to a city's Comprehensive Guide Plan is requested, it is the city's responsibility to determine if the change is in the best long-range interests of the city. The standard of review of a city's action in approving or denying a Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment is whether there exists a rational basis. A rational basis standard has been described to mean having legally sufficient reasons supportable by the facts which promote the general health, safety and welfare of the city. Planning Report — MVZ Ventures, LLC. September 21, 2015 Paee 2 BACKGROUND/HISTORY ZoningHistor_y — A majority of the site lies within the 452 -acre Laukka Beck Planned Development that was substantially approved in 1985 with incorporation of the Northwest Airlines Headquarters office development. The Planned Development allocated 1,136,600 square feet of office and office/showroom within the former Northwest Airlines development area, of which, 525,579 square feet were eventually constructed as part of the headquarters and flight training facility. In 2010, an amendment to the Laukka-Beck Planned Development reallocated 500,000 square feet of future office development to correspond with platting of the Lone Oak 3rd Addition. In the northeast corner of the subject site, 17.4 acres originally part of the Laukka-Beck Planned Development, was approved under a new Preliminary Planned Development in August 2006 to allow up to 120,000 square feet of multi -story office. The amendment request area also incorporates 35 acres of adjacent vacant land, formerly owned by NWA/Delta Airlines, that was not included in the Laukka-Beck Planned Development and is currently zoned Agriculture. Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan — The land use designation on this property is currently Special Area — Major Office. The Northeast Area Special Area Plan guides future development within and surrounding this property toward corporate office, business park, commercial and institutional uses. The City's first Land Use Plan was prepared in 1974 and originally designated the area as Regional Shopping Center. The area was later designated in 1981 as Commercial Planned Development and remained under this designation until 2001 when it was included in the Northeast Eagan Special Area Plan and guided as Office/Service. In 2005, in response to a land use amendment request to allow single family detached housing, the Northeast Eagan Land Use Study was conducted that analyzed several land use development scenarios for the area. The Study recommended the land use should be retained for commercial/industrial uses. The Northeast Special Area was amended in 2008 and designated the area as Major Office to reflect the corporate campus and business park environment that has developed within the area. Presently, the Metropolitan Council's Thrive204O regional plan encourages future density housing in proximity to transportation investment and employment bases. Eagan, as a net importer of employees during the working day, is expected to show housing density in its pending 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update at 5 units per acre and to plan for an additional 2,500 units beyond what is currently in the development pipeline. Since Eagan has limited vacant land supply remaining, the City may still need to consider guiding additional land for higher density housing currently not planned for in its current Land Use Plan in order to meet these forecasts. Planning Report — MVZ Ventures, LLC. September 21, 2015 Page 3 Most of Eagan's future higher density housing has typically been allocated within Eagan's Cedar Grove redevelopment area and within several of the Special Area plans. EXISTING CONDITIONS A majority of the 194 acres is currently vacant/undeveloped property. The land is generally a mix of wooded and open, rolling topography with areas of steep slopes that contains several wetland areas. The site has an overall topographical change of over 100 feet. The only developed areas of the subject site were developed as the Northwest Airlines Headquarters and Flight Training facilities. The two vacant buildings, totaling 525,579 square feet, and associated parking lots exist on approximately 43 acres. The site is currently accessed by two private drives connecting Lone Oak Parkway, Ames Crossing Road and O'Neill Drive. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: EVALUATION OF REQUEST PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting an amendment to change the land use designation of this site, located within the Northeast Special Area Plan, from MO, Major Office, to MU, Mixed Use with the intent to develop the property with a mix of uses including a corporate office complex with training facilities, general office, medical office, hospitality, retail, and multi -family residential. The site consists of the former Northwest Airlines Headquarters and Training Facility property and surrounding property previously owned by Northwest/Delta Airlines. The site also includes 7.4 acres of vacant property that is platted as Outlot A, Novus Addition and approved for a multi- story office use. The Concept Sketch Plan submitted with the application shows a multi -phase development comprised of 10 development areas with multiple development phases. The first phase, located on approximately 41 acres centered in the north half of the development, would include an athletic/recreational training complex and corporate facilities associated with the Minnesota Existin Use Zoning Land Use Designation North City border and Interstate State right-of-way State right -of -Way 494 East Private school, vacant, A, Agricultural; SA -PF -Public Facility, SA - residential (Ag) PD, Planned Development Special Area Major Office South Corporate offices, vacant PD, Planned Development SA -Special Area Major property Office West Single -Family Residential, A, Agriculture; BP, SA -BP Special Area -Business office, office/warehouse Business Park Park EVALUATION OF REQUEST PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting an amendment to change the land use designation of this site, located within the Northeast Special Area Plan, from MO, Major Office, to MU, Mixed Use with the intent to develop the property with a mix of uses including a corporate office complex with training facilities, general office, medical office, hospitality, retail, and multi -family residential.

The Concept Sketch Plan submitted with the application shows a multi -phase development comprised of 10 development areas with multiple development phases. The first phase, located on approximately 41 acres centered in the north half of the development, would include an athletic/recreational training complex and corporate facilities associated with the Minnesota Planning Report — MVZ Ventures, LLC. September 21, 2015 Pave 4 Vikings. The site could potentially include outdoor fields, an indoor training facility, and an outdoor stadium. Subsequent phases shown in concept indicate potential massing of uses that may include a conference center and hotel, additional corporate offices, medical offices, vertical mixed-use, retail and multi -family housing. The submitted narrative states that the redevelopment of the site will be accomplished over a period of 10-15 years, with development densities and mixes of different land uses dependent on market conditions. Phase I construction is anticipated to begin in the Spring of 2016. The applicant's narrative describes the site as a unique opportunity to create a regional destination featuring the headquarters and training facilities of the Minnesota Vikings with a "proposed mix of uses that will supplement, expand and add value to the surrounding land uses and serve the residents of Eagan, Mendota Heights, Inver Grove Heights and other east metro communities. At this location, any of the proposed uses will thrive standing alone. When these uses are combined together and with surrounding land uses, and then supported by the Minnesota Vikings as an anchor, the proposed development has an opportunity to be special." Additionally, the narrative states: • The offices/medical offices and Minnesota Viking campus headquarters are consistent with the current zoning and Comprehensive Guide Plan and are fully compatible with other uses in the surrounding area. • The applicant envisions a "retail/residential village" theme designed to serve the proposed and current uses and nearby neighborhoods that will enhance opportunities and not negatively impact existing uses in Eagan and surrounding communities. • The natural amenities of the site, its central location and proximity to I-494, and mix of proposed uses make this a strong multifamily residential site, making it a true "live, work, play" environment. • Hospitality and conference center uses offer outstanding support for the significant existing office density and are critical to the operations of the Minnesota Vikings. • The Minnesota Vikings headquarters, training facility and stadium will serve as anchors to the development and will draw tenants, users, residents and guests, with the site being home to public events that will enhance vibrancy to the area. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Topography/ Grading — The site topography is rolling with wooded and wetland areas. The 194 acre site includes a combination of open and heavily treed areas. There are two existing buildings and parking lots that were part of the former Northwest Airlines headquarters. There are large variations in topography, and elevations range from 850 in the southeast corner to 960 in the northeast corner of the site. The site generally slopes toward the middle of the property. Planning Report — MVZ Ventures, LLC. September 21, 2015 Page 5 The majority of the site would be disturbed for the installation of streets, utilities, buildings, parking lots, and storm water features. Storm Drainage — The entire site lies within Drainage District F (as designated in the City Storm Water Management Plan — 2007). The site generally drains toward a series of ponds and wetlands at the middle of the property. Storm water is then routed to the southwest via an existing storm sewer system toward O'Neill Lake (City Pond FP -1) to the west. The development of this property will be subject to the codified Post Construction Stormwater Management Requirements (City Code §4.34) for stormwater management and surface water quality, including Runoff Rate Control and 1.1" Volume Control. There are several wetlands on site. In accordance with City Code § 11.67, a Certified Wetland Delineator will need to prepare a delineation and assessment (via MNRAM) report for the wetlands. Any development of the site will need to be addressed in accordance with the State Wetlands Conservation Act. Trees/Vegetation — The site is heavily wooded in areas, especially in the northwest portion of the site and in lower elevation areas near existing wetlands. Development of the site will be subject to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. Removal of significant trees beyond the Tree Preservation Ordinance allowable amount will require mitigation. Oulot A, Novus Addition is subject to previous tree mitigation requirements established within the existing Preliminary Planned Development. Airport Noise Compatibility — All new development in this area will be exposed to airport noise impacts and the use of sound attenuating construction techniques will be necessary. The City of Eagan considered airport noise as a factor in its Comprehensive Guide Plan and has subsequently adopted an Aircraft Noise Zone Overlay District in the land use regulations of the City Code, in accordance with the Metropolitan Council's 2030 Transportation Policy plan, Appendix M (Land Use Compatibility Guidelines for Aircraft Noise). The subject site is located within 2007 Airport Noise Zone 4 One -Mile Buffer. The uses proposed under this amendment are considered "Compatible" within the one -mile buffer. Although the Northeast Special Area Plan discourages residential uses due to aircraft noise and other factors, the Land Use Compatibility Guides adopted in the City Code recognizes unit construction type associated with multifamily residential with shared entrances generally provide a higher level of noise mitigation than individual entrance type residential construction. Environmental Review — Due to the suggested intensity of development for the area, a mandatory environmental review will be required to determine development impacts on the subject site and surrounding transportation and utility systems serving the area and to determine if there is a need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Planning Report — MVZ Ventures, LLC. September 21, 2015 Paize 6 INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACTS Sanitary Sewer — Sanitary sewer District N (as designated in the City's Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan) serves the entire site. Lateral sanitary sewer of sufficient size, depth, and capacity is available for connection and extension with development of this property for the western half of the site. Trunk sanitary sewer is also available for the eastern half of the site; however, an existing portion located near Lone Oak Parkway is identified in the City's Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan (2000) for upsizing with further development in the area. Off-site trunk sanitary sewer improvements may be necessary with the full development of this property. All septic systems within the development should be sealed in accordance with City and County standards. Water Main/Supply — Trunk water main of sufficient size and capacity is available around the perimeter of the site for connection and extension with development of the property. All wells within the development should be sealed in accordance with City and County standards. A utility analysis will be included in the environmental review being performed for this area. Any utility improvements identified in the environmental review will need to occur with this development. Streets/Access/Right-of-Way/Easements — Access to the site is currently provided by various public commercial/industrial roadways including Northwest Parkway, Lone Oak Parkway, O'Neill Drive, and Ames Crossing Road. The existing transportation system is likely adequate for the initial phases of development. Full development may require improvements to existing surrounding roadways, and the construction of new transportation infrastructure in the area. Dakota County partnered with the City of Eagan, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), the Metropolitan Council, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Cities of Inver Grove Heights, Mendota Heights, and Sunfish Lake to conduct a transportation system study in northern Dakota County, termed the Regional Roadway Visioning Study. The main purpose of the study was to determine what expansion of the roadway and trail system needs to occur to handle growth in the area, including northeast Eagan. The study, approved by the City Councils of all affected Cities in July 2010, among many other improvements, identified the need for an east -west collector roadway, extending from existing Northwest Parkway east into Inver Grove Heights. Public right-of-way for Northwest Parkway was dedicated with the Lone Oak 3rd plat. Additional public right-of-way will need to be dedicated to connect this future public east/west street to the north/south Ames Crossing public street. Planning Report — MVZ Ventures, LLC. September 21, 2015 Page 7 A transportation analysis will be included in any environmental review being performed for this area. Any roadway and pedestrian facility improvements identified in the environmental review will need to occur with this development. Easements/ Right -of -Way — There is a 40 foot gas pipeline easement running through the northern end of the site. This pipeline has been abandoned and the applicant should work with the gas company to remove the pipe and abandon the easement. COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE IMPACTS Land Use Designations Special Area Plan — The site is located within the Northeast Special Area. The Northeast Special Area is bounded by the municipal border on the north and east sides, Hwy. 55 on the south side and Hwy. 149 to the east. The intent of this Special Area Plan is to provide Eagan with a cohesive transition from a relatively large amount of existing single family residential south of Highway 55, agriculture, vacant and underutilized land to employment and commercial uses. The Northeast Special Area Vision Plan provides policy statements to guide future development. The plan incorporates recommendations from a 2005 Northeast Land Use Study that analyzed land use scenarios which included residential uses. The study was in response to a land use request proposing single family/individual entrance residential units. The Study recommended retaining commercial/industrial as the long-term land use for the area, unless a compelling reason existed to change it. The Study's findings sited airport noise, location and lack of residential services among the reasons to retain the existing land use plan. The Special Area Plan designates the subject site as MO -Major Office. The Major Office category provides areas to accommodate a mix of professional offices, research and development facilities, professional educational/vocational institutions, hotels and public open space/trails designed for daytime employment populations. The following policies pertinent to this request are contained in the Northeast Special Area Plan: ■ The City expects the study area to develop as business park, research and development and neighborhood business uses. ■ In recognition of the area's location, the City will take full advantage of opportunities to present an attractive City image (via development quality, etc.). ■ A new roadway plan should ensure a cohesive development and circulation pattern in the area. ■ Uniform design elements providing identity will be promoted and new development will utilize materials and design features consistent with City Code and compatible with those utilized in the Laukka-Beck Planned Development. Planning Report — MVZ Ventures, LLC. September 21, 2015 Page 8 New development shall respond and strive to retain the natural features of the area including wetlands and mature vegetation. Due to the area's proximity to the airport and the fact that single family uses are considered transitional, the City shall discourage any additional residential development, including further subdivision of any of the existing residential property. New development within the study area shall incorporate sound attenuating construction techniques as suggested by the Metropolitan Council. Compatibility — The proposed plan anticipates a mix of uses, many of which are already compatible with the Major Office land use including the corporate office complex, medical and general office, and a hotel/conference center. However, the Mixed Use designation is required in order to include the residential and retail components of the plan. The applicant is proposing to create a "residential/retail village" theme within subsequent phases of the master plan. The residential use would be limited to shared -entrance, multifamily residential, which is currently considered a "Compatible" use within the one -mile airport noise zone buffer. Additionally, the applicant considers the natural elements of the area as a unique opportunity for trails and open space to serve both the day time and residential uses. Introducing medical office, hotel and multi -family residential to this area will also generate the need to provide retail/service uses to support the new and existing development in the broader area. Similarly, the need for park and pedestrian -scale related activity will also need to be addressed as the various phases come on line. While the proposed narrative and concept plan attempts to address many policies established in the Northeast Special Area Plan, it is a policy matter for City officials to determine whether the requested change from Major Office to Mixed Use is reasonable given the City's general vision for the area. Density — A majority of the site is zoned Planned Development under the Laukka-Beck Planned Development and a Preliminary Planned Development approved with Outlot A, Novus Addition. Both of these Planned Developments allow general office/corporate office uses totaling 1,256,600 square feet. The site also includes 35 acres of vacant, Agriculture zoned property which will require incorporation into a revised Planned Development. While the submitted application is still in conceptual form, the applicant indicates a potential mix of uses totaling up to 2,865,000 square feet. The applicant notes the need for flexibility to determine the correct mix based on market conditions over time. The applicant will be required to submit significantly more development detail with a Rezoning/Preliminary Planned Development application subsequent to a favorable determination of land use suitability by policy makers. As mentioned previously, the scope of the proposed development triggers a mandatory environmental review. That exercise will provide analysis of Planning Report — MVZ Ventures, LLC. September 21, 2015 Page 9 typical urban area impacts of multiple development scenarios to better understand cumulative impacts of phased development projects within the area. Physical Suitability — The subject site has varied topography with areas of steep slopes, woodlands and wetlands. Any development will be subject to City ordinances in regard to tree preservation, wetland protections, stormwater management and water quality. The physical suitability for the existing Major Office land use or proposed Mixed Use varies with the type and scale of development. Where large footprint buildings may be better suited to flat open sites, creative design will be necessary in order to maintain the site's integrity and natural features. Land Supply —Overall, 1,129 acres (5.3%) are presently designated MO -Major Office within the City's Comprehensive Plan. Although the overall site represents 194 acres of currently vacant or underutilized Major Office land, 90 acres (47%) of land under this plan would be retained for Major Office uses, and a potential for up to 50 acres (25%) to be used for residential/retail mixed use. The remainder of the site would be reserved for wetland retention, open space buffers, trails and right-of-way. As a result, roughly 50 acres would be removed from the Major Office land supply. PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM Parks — Residential development was not previously considered in this area of Eagan resulting in no neighborhood park infrastructure being provided or planned. If the land use change is approved, it will be necessary to define where neighborhood park features would be implemented and what they would be to appropriately serve the proposed neighborhood at the time of future development applications. Trails — Walking/biking trails to serve the daytime population were anticipated in the Northeast Special Area Plan. If the land use change is approved, it will be necessary to define the specific layout and connections for such trails at the time of future development applications. In 2010, Dakota County adopted a Greenway Plan which identifies a future Greenway trail in Inver Grove Heights, within 11/4 mile to the east of the subject site. The future development of the Greenway Trail corridor may support the need and creation of additional connector trails. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS General Considerations • The applicant is requesting a change in land use designation from Special Area/Major Office to Special Area/Mixed Use, for approximately 194 acres currently zoned Planned Development and Agricultural and located between Hwy 149 and Ames Crossing Road, south of I-494. Planning Report — MVZ Ventures, LLC. September 21, 2015 Page 10 The property contains the former Northwest Airlines Headquarter Office and Training Facility, plus surrounding undeveloped land. This area is part of the Laukka-Beck Planned Development and Outlot A, Novus Addition Planned Development that allows up to 1,256,600 square feet of office development. The Northeast Special Area Plan designates the subject site as MO -Major Office. The Major Office category provides areas to accommodate a mix of professional offices, research and development facilities, professional educational/vocational institutions, hotels and public open space/trails designed for daytime employment populations • The proposed plan anticipates a mix of uses, many of which are already compatible with the Major Office. However, the Mixed Use designation is required in order to include the residential and retail components of the plan. Environmental Impacts • Due to the suggested scope and intensity illustrated in the Conceptual Site Plan a mandatory environmental study will be required to determine if an EIS is needed. • Development of the site is subject to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance (Sec. 11.70, Subd. 12.1). • There are a number of wetlands on site. A wetland delineation and assessment will need to be prepared by a qualified professional, and development the site is subject to State Wetlands Conservation Act. • Development of the site will need to comply with Post Construction Requirements (City Code §4.33) for stortnwater management and surface water quality. • The site is located within the Airport Noise Policy Zone 4, One -mile Buffer. All proposed uses are considered compatible within the one -mile Zone 4 Buffer. To be clear, while low and medium density residential uses are not considered to be compatible within this noise zone, properly sound attenuated high density residential uses are compatible. • It will be a policy matter for decision makers to determine whether the overall plan in this case justifies the introduction of a new area of residential development within this area. New development in this area will be subjected to airport noise impacts and sound attenuating construction techniques will be required. Infrastructure Impacts • Transportation and utility infrastructure in the area anticipated full build -out of major office uses. The required environmental review will determine development impacts on Planning Report — MVZ Ventures, LLC. September 21, 2015 Page 11 the subject site and surrounding transportation and utility systems serving the area and to determine if there is a need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Comprehensive Land Use Impacts • The City's Comprehensive Guide Plan incorporates themes of sustainability, active living and connectivity. Goals and policies relative to the request are contained in several sections of the Comprehensive Guide Plan, including the Northeast Special Area Plan. • As proposed, the concept plan for the development essentially introduces a new mixed use neighborhood where one had not been planned before. If the land use change is approved, it will be necessary to continue to incorporate the features suggested in this application, such as neighborhood retail, parks and recreation noted below and connectivity between the various uses as part of the future development applications. Park and Recreation System • Residential development was not previously considered in this area of Eagan resulting in no neighborhood park infrastructure being provided or planned. • If the land use change is approved, it will be necessary to plan and provide for neighborhood park infrastructure as part of the future development applications. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from SA -MO (Special Area -Major Office) to SA -MIXED (Special Area -Mixed Use), upon approximately 194 acres located south of I-494 and east of Dodd Road (Hwy 149), west of Ames Crossing Road. 0 MI City of Eap Location Map Project Name: MVZ Ventures, LLC Request: Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment Case No: 01 -CG -02-08-15 Legend Parcels Buildings _ ;Parks 4fAb AAA® City Boundary N Feet 0 500 1,000 2,000 INT RSTATE4N 0.NEILL DRIVE INTERSTATE 494 City of Eagan Narrative Submittal Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment August 28, 2015 Introductionf5ite and Location Description The 200 -acre planned development site that is the subject of this Application is located in the northeast quadrant of the Intersection of State Highway 149 (Dodd Road) and Interstate 494 in the City of Eagan between Lone Oak Parkway and Ames Crossing Road (See EX -1).

Future zoning for the entirety of the Subject Site is proposed to be "PD," with the additional potential uses this Narrative describes. Timing and Phasing of the Proposed Development At this time, Applicant envisions that its redevelopment of the Subject Site will be accomplished in multiple phases over 10-15 years, depending on market conditions. Applicant desires to commence construction of Phase I of the Concept Plan in the spring of 2016, with additional phases to follow (four or more phases in the aggregate). Phase I includes the Headquarters Building for the Minnesota Vikings professional football team and a football training complex that Includes three or four natural grass football fields, a football stadium with artificial turf and a seating capacity to be determined and an indoor football training facility that is connected to the Headquarters Building. Phase 11 will potentially add retail/residential, hotel, conference center and/or other components. Future Phases will be necessary to complete development of the Subject Site. The table below describes the estimated timing of redevelopment phasing as currently envisioned. The Parcels and Phasing plan are visually described in EX -4 and EX -5.

The Subject Site is home to two office buildings, the 273,500 sf former headquarters building of Delta Airlines, and the 278,000 sf Flight Simulator Building formerly occupied and operated by Delta Airlines and used for Flight Simulator pilot training, together with surface parking and other related site improvements, These two buildings were built between 1985 and 1987. The remainder of the Subject Site is vacant. Additional office and retail development was planned, but never completed, on the Subject Site. Northwest Parkway carries vehicular traffic through the Subject Site and the O'Neill Frontage Road carries vehicular traffic around the Subject Site. Lone Oak Point and Ames Crossing Road also serve the Subject Site. There are several hundred feet of trunk sanitary sewer, watermain, and storm sewer facilities that meander through the Subject Site supporting the buildings and services on these sites. Additionally, site and area drainage and natural conditions have created a number of wetlands on the site that will be an amenity to Applicant's proposed development and create unique opportunities for trails and open spaces as part of the proposed development, F � F o -Z Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning within 660 feet The City's zoning map is attached as EX -6, showing the various zones that surround the Subject Site. The Subject Site is surrounded by major corporate office uses, educational uses, some residential uses and Type I Flex and other warehouse and light industrial uses. The aerial photograph attached as EX -1 depicts a wider land area showing the various uses that surround the Subject Site. We understand that most of the zoning within this area has been completed under the PD zoning designation. Compatibility of Proposed Lard Use with the Surrognding Area The Subject Site is a beautiful site with rolling topography and natural amenities that is supported by substantial past infrastructure investment that is underutilized. The size of the Subject Site and its natural amenities and location present a unique opportunity to create a regional destination featuring the headquarters and training facilities of the Minnesota Vikings. Applicant believes the current infrastructure will support this destination development (to be later confirmed). The proposed mix of uses will supplement, expand and add value to surrounding land uses and serve the residents Eagan, Mendota Heights, Inver Grove Heights and other east metro communities. At this location, any of the proposed uses will thrive standing alone. When these uses are combined together and with surrounding land uses, and then supported by the Minnesota Vikings as an anchor, the proposed development has an opportunity to be special. Specifically: The office/medical office uses included in the proposed Concept Plan are consistent with current land uses surrounding the Subject Site. The Minnesota Vikings' Headquarters campus and future office phases are consistent with the originally approved corporate office campus master plan, current zoning and the current Comprehensive Plan and are fully compatible with other uses in the development area. The proposed retail uses, envisioned with a "Retail/Residential Village" theme, are designed to serve the current surrounding uses and the proposed uses on the Subject Site, as well as nearby neighborhoods. The surrounding area is currently underserved with retail uses and the proposed size of the retail development is such that the proposed retail development should not negatively impact existing retail uses in Eagan and surrounding communities. It will enhance the surrounding area. The natural amenities of the Subject Site, the mix of uses in the Applicant's proposed redevelopment of the Subject Site, its proximity to Interstate 494 and its central location in the Southeast Metro near many other regional amenities make this a strong multifamily residential development site. It will be a true "live, work, play" environment. Hospitality and conference center uses in the Concept Plan are outstanding support uses for the significant office density existing in the area and the proposed future office development. These uses are also critical to the operations of the Minnesota Vikings. The conference center will be a destination for companies in the Twin Cities, greater Minnesota and other states.
