CONTRACT. 99-03,YANKEE RESERVOIR REPAINTING -LOGO SELECTION- ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve Alternate "A" or `B" for the logo design for Contract 99-03 (Yankee Doodle Rd Reservoir-Repainting). FACTS: • The Yankee Doodle Rd. Reservoir is scheduled to be repainted under Cont. 99-03 this year. It is a 5-million gallon standpipe ground reservoir of a slightly different design than our other similar reservoirs.

Subsequently, two alternative designs have been prepared for Council's consideration. There is no cost difference between the two and the contract specifications provide the flexibility for either option. ATTACHMENTS: • Color photo images of options, enclosed without page number.

This widening will accommodate the installation of a center median and trailways along both sides as well as potential signals at the intersections of Northwood Parkway and Gemini Rd. • However, due to the lengthy public improvement, right-of-way acquisition and Municipal State Aid funding approval process, combined with the current workload of the County, both agencies are recommending that this project be reprogrammed to the year 2001 and that the City of Eagan assume the Lead Agency role. • With the County's concurrence, the City staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the preparation of a cooperative agreement with Dakota County and a feasibility report prepared by the consulting engineering firm of SEH, Inc. a Agenda Information Memo June 1, 1999 Eagan City Council Meeting J. APPROVE rate change—Civic Arena (effective 9/99) ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve an increase in prime time ice rental at the Eagan Civic Arena from $13 5.00 to $140.00 BACKGROUND: In the short history of the Eagan Civic Arena, staff has annually reviewed the rate structure for any necessary modifications to insure a positive revenue stream to keep pace with inflationary costs and market conditions. After review, staff recommends that the prime time rate be increased by $5.00 per hour from $135 to $140 per hour effective with the start of the fall skating season. A rate change at this time will allow the various users to budget and prepare for the coming year. FACTS: ■ The $5.00 per hour rate increase for prime time is in keeping with the other two arenas serving School District 196 schools. Rosemount and Apple Valley have both announced an increase of$5.00 per hour. ■ Burnsville Ice Center is increasing their rate by $5.00 per hour. ■ Staff is currently booking ice for the 1999-2000 season ■ Inflationary increases for employees, maintenance and operations is also expected. ■ The Eagan Hockey Association and School District staff have been made aware of the proposed increase in ice time rates. Both have incorporated it in their respective budget development. COMMENTS: ■ This increase still allows the Civic Arena Manager to establish negotiated hourly rates for non-prime time and"shoulder season"rates which are most effected by demand. ■ Lakeville and Richfield are currently constructing second ice sheets that will increase the amount of available ice time in the south metro area, further softening the market.

ADOPT THE BURNSVILLEXAGAN COMMUNITY TELEVISION OPERATIONAL USE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To adopt the Burnsville/Eagan Community Television(BECT) Operational Use Polices and Guidelines. FACTS: At the time of the PEG access transfer last June/July, it was determined that policies be developed pertaining to BECT programming content and philosophy, the Member Cities' governance of the programming and BECT operations, grievance procedures, and any other policy revisions necessary to ensure the administration of the BECT. The Member Cities,based on Commission recommendation, have previously adopted the Mission Statement, which provides the basis for the BECT "community television"programming philosophy. The Telecomm Commission, based on official action taken at its May 27 meeting, is recommending that the Member Cities adopt the BECT Operational Use Polices and Guidelines as attached. The new policies would become effective upon adoption by both Member Cities. ISSUES: It was determined by the Commission that the best approach for addressing the issues was to revise the BECT "Facility Use Guidelines,"which served as the cable company's facility's operational and policies document for many years. Based on staff's review of other municipally run access operation's policies, as well as considering changes to improve current policies, the Telecomm Commission considered numerous amendments to the document. After several revisions, and legal counsel review, the Commission recommends adoption. In summary, the amended document: • Incorporates the new"community television"philosophy of balancing volunteer and community television coverage; • Provides an appeals process for complaint resolution; • Indemnifies the Cities, Commission and staff, • Addresses the management philosophy statement concerning the non-censorship of public access programming, and; • Ensures a more efficient operation through general administrative and operational changes.

PROJECT 770,DENMARK AVENUE EXTENSION STREET& UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To continue the public hearing for Project 770 (Denmark Avenue Extension—Street and Utility Improvements)to July 6, 1999. FACTS: • The extension of Denmark Avenue between Northwood Parkway and Clubview Drive would provide a frontage road along the east side of Interstate 35-E and an additional connection between Yankee Doodle Road and Lone Oak Road. The installation of the 12" water main would provide a looped connection of the water system in accordance with the City of Eagan Water Supply and Distribution Plan (1990). The construction of the street and utilities are programmed for 1999 in the City's 5-Year CIP (1999-2003). • On March 2, 1999, the City Council authorized preparation of a feasibility report to address the scope, cost, schedule and financing of the new street and utility extensions. On May 4, the feasibility report for Project 770 was presented to the City Council and a Public Hearing was scheduled for June 1 to formally present the report. • Two meetings have been held between City staff and the United States Postal Service (USPS) regarding the proposed improvements. While the USPS has stated that they will dedicate the necessary right of way, it is conditioned upon the specific alignment and location of proposed improvements that are not in the best interests of the City. • Dakota County has reprogrammed the upgrade of Lexington Avenue, from Yankee Doodle Road to Lone Oak Road, for the year 2001, delaying the urgency for the need of Denmark Avenue as a detour route. ISSUES: • The USPS has requested significant revisions to the draft feasibility report involving the location of a storm drainage pond, grading, and storm sewer. The additional costs to the project if their revisions are implemented would be about $75,000. While the USPS has agreed to provide all of the needed right-of-way on their property to the City, it is with the understanding that they would incur no costs for this street improvement. The USPS has agreed to pay for a driveway entrance and sanitary sewer extension. • The draft feasibility report included proposed assessments to two adjacent properties other than the USPS. The City Attorney's office has requested the review of these properties by an appraiser to determine whether or not there is any benefit to these properties. That information has not been received yet. • City staff is requesting additional time to revise the draft feasibility report with respect to the USPS requests and appraiser's analysis. A continuation of the public hearing until July 6 would allow more time for staff to revise the feasibility report and provide a more definitive scope of improvements, cost estimates and method of financing for the City Council's consideration of whether they would want to proceed with this public improvement.

PROJECT 766,WESCOTT RD and LEXINGTON AVE.- SIGNAL ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve Project 766 (Wescott Rd. — Signal), and authorize the preparation of plans and acquisition of right of way through the quick take eminent domain process, if necessary. FACTS: • In response to continued requests for signalization of the Wescott Rd. and Lexington Ave. intersection, a Signal Justification Report (SJR) was prepared and presented to the City Council on March 16. It identified 6 different warrants that were met under the Minnesota Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Subsequently, the Council authorized the preparation of a Feasibility Report to identify the scope, costs, schedules and impacts of different options to address the signal needs. A draft of this report was presented to the Council on May 4, and a Public Hearing was scheduled for June 1. • Staff installed informational signage at the intersection informing the general public of both the June 1 public hearing and an informational open house meeting held on May 19 (City Hall). The sign also provided a telephone number for anyone wishing to leave a voice mail comment. In addition, notices were sent to all adjacent property owners along the project limits. Follow up neighborhood meetings were held on May 25 (City Hall) and May 26 (All Saints Lutheran Church) at the request of several of the adjacent neighbors. • Three options (A, B & C) were presented in the original draft Feasibility Report and at the May 19 informational meeting for review and comment. Based on the comments received, two additional options (D & E) were prepared and presented at the May 25 & 26 meetings. Also, the original report has been revised(Proj. 766R) to reflect the newer options. ISSUES: • While Option "C" (Split Phasing Signal operation) appeared to have the least construction impact and be the most economical, it did not provide for an acceptable level of intersection efficiency or traffic operations needed to accommodate the 20 year traffic projections. Subsequently, Dakota County would not be able to support this option. It was included in the original draft report only so staff could investigate its possibilities. However, after detailed evaluation, it cannot be considered a viable option. �U ISSUES: (cont.) • Option "D"(3-lane) appears to provide the best level of service while being the least intrusive and most economical of them all. However, it does require that the entire length of Wescott Rd. be converted from its current 4-lane design to the 3-lane concept. The 3-lane design is one of the recommendations that was contained in the Wescott Rd. Corridor Study and will provide some residual benefits to the entire corridor as well as accommodate the signalization needs of this intersection.

INTRODUCTION This Feasibility Study was authorized by the City Council on March 16, 1999 to analyze proposed roadway and traffic signal improvements to Wescott Road at the Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) intersection. The intersection is located one mile east of City Hall in the east- central area of Eagan (see Figure 1). The proposed improvements are consistent with recommendations described in the Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue Corridor Study prepared for the City by SRF in April 1999. This Feasibility Study describes the street and traffic signal improvements necessary to upgrade the existing intersection to improve safety and mobility while maintaining adequate access to adjacent properties. 65-3 1 II. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS This Feasibility Study presents two different design options. Both alternates as outlined herein,are feasible from an engineering standpoint. The proposed roadway improvements are consistent with current City standards. The total cost of each design is estimated and identified in the report. It is recommended that the Council consider proceeding with the project for the following reasons: • A traffic signal justification report (SJR), attached to the back of this report, was prepared for the intersection and according to the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices warrants 1, 2, 6, 8, 9 and 11 are met and installation of traffic signal control is justified. • Roadway and traffic signal improvements are consistent with those recommended in the Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue Corridor Study. The project will improve traffic flow and vehicular and pedestrian safety in the area by channelizing turning movements and regulating traffic flow with a new traffic signal. • This project is necessary due to unsafe levels of congestion, traffic accidents and projections of increased traffic volumes in the future. • The project is feasible from an engineering standpoint in that with the acquisition of additional right-of-way, there is adequate room to safely reconstruct and maintain the intersection. • The project is cost effective in that it will improve roadway capacity at the intersection and reduce travel time for the public. It is recommended that the City Council receive the Feasibility Study and schedule a public hearing for the proposed project area. S� 2 III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. EXISTING CONDITIONS Wescott Road is a four-lane undivided urban roadway without turn lanes and has a posted speed limit of 45 mph. Wescott Road runs continuously 3 miles east/west through the City and has an S—curve in the alignment through the Lexington Avenue intersection (see Figure 2). It is classi- fied as a B Minor Arterial roadway in the April 1999 draft of the City of Eagan Transportation Plan. Traffic control consists of an all-way stop at the Lexington Avenue intersection. Lexington Avenue (Dakota County Road No. 43) is a four-lane undivided urban roadway with left-turn lanes at the north and south approaches to Wescott Road and has a posted speed limit of 50 mph. Lexington Avenue is also classified as a B Minor Arterial in the April 1999 draft of the City of Eagan Transportation Plan and runs north/south through the City of Eagan. The existing all-way stop control at the intersection provides an unacceptable level of service in traffic operations with excessive delays forcing some traffic onto more lengthy and circuitous routes in order to avoid the congestion. The all-way stop also meters traffic leaving the intersection making it difficult for cross street traffic to find a gap and cross or enter Wescott Road or Lexington Avenue. The steady flow of traffic also makes pedestrian crossing difficult. There are eight-foot wide bituminous pedestrian trails on both sides of Lexington Avenue and along the south side of Wescott Road. A five-foot wide concrete walk is in place along the north side of Wescott Road. The all-way stop condition, depressed curbs and crosswalks, provide the opportunity for pedestrians to cross each leg of the intersection. There are significant utility lines adjacent to the intersection. A large diameter steel utility pole owned by Great River Power Association is located in the northwest corner and supports overhead wires running south, west and north along the roadways within public right-of-way. Three buried pipelines owned by Williams Pipe Line Company extend along the south side of Wescott Road within a private easement. 3 B. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS In order to improve safety and provide an acceptable level of service (LOS) in traffic operations, the installation of a traffic signal is proposed at the intersection. (A Level of Service analysis was prepared for each design alternate and is summarized in Table 1). Several traffic accidents at the intersection in the past three years may have been avoided had there been a signal at the intersection. The proposed signal will increase roadway capacity and reduce congestion during peak traffic times. The proposed signal will also enhance the safety of pedestrian crossings with the installation of pedestrian push buttons for"Walk/Don't Walk" indications. TABLE 1 Level of Service Analysis Year 2020 City Project No. 766 Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road Intersection DESIGN ALTERNATE LEVEL OF SERVICE AM PEAK HOUR PM PEAK HOUR Five-Lane Design C D Three-Lane Design D D Intersections are given a ranking from Level of Service A through Level of Service F. Level of Service A indicates the best traffic operation, with vehicles experiencing minimal delays. Level of Service F indicates an intersection that is over capacity, or breakdown of traffic flow. Levels of Service A through D are generally considered acceptable for design purposes. Level of Service E indicates that the intersection is operating at or very near its capacity and that vehicles experience substantial delays. In addition to a proposed traffic signal, users would benefit from modifications to the roadway geometrics. This feasibility study describes two roadway design options for modifications to Wescott Road. The design options presented here have changed from those originally shown in the draft copy of this feasibility study for three reasons. First, the preliminary alignment options were shared with the Dakota County Highway Department. The County does not support split phase signal operation so, this option was ,�6 4 deleted from consideration. However, the County did not object to a skewed alignment (up to 80 degrees) through this intersection. The original preliminary design options proposed a 90 degree intersection with the roadway curves shifted westerly out of the intersection. (For comparison purposes, these options are shown in Figures 3 and 4). The design options were revised to skew the Wescott Road alignment through the intersection (83 degrees) and shift the roadway curves easterly and westerly out of the intersection. Second, an open house was held on May 19, 1999 to give the public an opportunity to review and comment on the preliminary alignment options. Although the City received many comments via phone and e-mail supporting the proposed improvements, residents attending the open house did not support the alignment options because of the right-of-way impacts to homes along the south side of Wescott Road east of the church property. As a result, the proposed alignment was shifted northerly to reduce impacts to properties along the south side of Wescott Road. Third, the preliminary alignment options were sent to Williams Pipe Line for review because of impacts to the existing buried pipe lines along the south side of Wescott Road. Williams responded with a letter stating that the City would be responsible for the costs to design and relocate the pipe lines. This response from Williams also warranted shifting the proposed alignment northerly to minimize impacts to the pipe lines. As a result of input received from City and county staff and comments from the open house, the two geometric alternatives that were developed for Wescott Road were modified and are presented below. 1. Five-Lane Design Under the first alternate design it is proposed to widen Wescott Road at the intersection from 52 feet to a width of 72 feet to accommodate a raised concrete median, an exclusive left turn, a thru lane and a combination thru/right-turn lane on both the west and east legs �? - 5 of the intersection (see Figures 3A and 5). The alignment of Wescott Road is proposed to be revised such that the curves are shifted east and west of the intersection and the roadways intersect at a skew. The widening will impact a length of approximately 1,800 feet of Wescott Road with grading impacts along both the north and south side. Additional permanent right-of-way will be required from eight properties in the project area. Although the raised concrete median will limit access to the four single-family homes in the northeast corner of the intersection to right-in/right-out only, it will safely channelize traffic by providing protected left turn lanes. Along the south side of Wescott Road, east of Lexington Avenue, construction proposed over three buried Williams pipe lines may require relocating the pipe lines at the city's expense. Estimated costs for relocating the pipe lines are included in the project costs. To avoid conflicts with the pipe line west of Lexington Avenue, a retaining wall is proposed adjacent to the trail. A split rail fence is proposed on top of the retaining wall to provide protection for trail users and blend into the residential neighborhood. In addition to the roadway geometric revisions, some minor storm sewer and water main modifications will also be necessary. The proposed five-lane design would provide an acceptable level of service (year 2020 LOS C (a.m.) and D (p.m.)) for future traffic volumes through the year 2020 (see Table 1). The estimated cost of the five-lane design is $881,000. 2. Three-Lane Design The second alternate design considers widening Wescott Road at the intersection from 52 feet to 65 feet to accommodate a raised concrete median, an exclusive left-turn lane, a thru lane, and a right-turn lane on both the west and east approaches (see Figures 4A 6 and 5). The alignment of Wescott Road is proposed to be revised, as described in the Five-Lane alternate, to shift the curves westerly and easterly out of the intersection. The proposed reconstruction would affect a length of approximately 1,000 feet of Wescott Road near Lexington Avenue and required new permanent right-of-way from only one property in the project area. In addition to reconstruction of the intersection to accommodate a three-lane design, it is recommended that the existing striping on Wescott Road be sand blasted and the pavement re—striped as three lanes from Pilot Knob Road to TH 149 (approximately 3 miles). It is proposed to resurface the entire length with a sealcoat or slurry seal and then apply the appropriate pavement markings and install permanent signing for the three-lane design. In order to safely accommodate right turning vehicles at other major intersections along Wescott Road, right turn lanes are proposed to be constructed at Pilot Knob Road, Denmark Avenue, Elrene Road and TH 149. The proposed right-turn lanes could be constructed with this project or they could be constructed in the future if the City so desires. The proposed three-lane design would require similar storm sewer and water main modifications as the five-lane design, but conflicts with the Williams pipe line can be avoided by constructing the proposed retaining wall west of Lexington Avenue. It would also provide an acceptable level of service (year 2020 LOS D (a.m.) and D (p.m.)) for future traffic volumes (see Table 1). The estimated cost for the three-lane design is $651,000. The estimated cost for the six additional right-turn lanes is $112,000. 7 IV. RIGHT-OF-WAY AND EASEMENTS With the five- and three-lane design alternates, additional permanent right-of-way and temporary construction easements will be required from properties along Wescott Road. An easement may be required from the Williams Pipe Line Company, due to construction adjacent to the existing buried lines. Table 2 below identifies the required right-of-way and easements.

ESTIMATED COSTS The estimated cost of City Project No. 766 is summarized below in Table 3. The total project cost is based on preliminary construction cost estimates with a 10 percent contingency plus an additional 30 percent for legal, administrative, engineering design and inspection, contract administration and bond interest. The project cost includes estimated right-of-way costs for both alternatives. The estimate includes costs to relocate the buried Williams pipeline along Wescott Road (for the five-lane alternate) and costs for the additional right-tum lanes (for the three-lane alternate). A detailed estimate of preliminary construction costs is included in the Appendix.

Name Reg. No. Date APPROVED: City of Eagan Date Dakota County Date SRF No. 0993302 Date: March 1999 Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) at Wescott Road in Eagan, Dakota County I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Existing Conditions The subject intersection is located on Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) and Wescott Road in the City of Eagan, Minnesota (see Figure 1 — Project Location). Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) is a north-south, four-lane undivided roadway with a posted speed limit of 50 miles per hour in this area. Both Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) approaches to Wescott Road consist of an exclusive left-turn lane, a through lane, and a combined through, right-turn lane. Wescott Road is a four-lane undivided roadway that extends from Pilot Knob Road on the west to TH 149 on the east. No turn lanes are currently provided on the Wescott Road approaches to Lexington Avenue (County Road 43). Currently, all-way stop sign control is present at the subject intersection. Pedestrian crosswalk pavement markings exist on all four approaches. Proposed Conditions The proposed roadway improvements would include widening the Wescott Road approaches to Lexington Avenue to provide an exclusive left-turn lane, one through lane, and an exclusive right-turn lane in each direction. The proposed geometrics are shown in Figure 2 — Proposed Layout. The proposed traffic signal at the Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road intersection will be a full traffic-actuated signal system with protected left-turn phasing on all approaches. No traffic signal interconnect will be provided at this time. A corridor study is currently underway to examine other future roadway improvement needs for Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road. Additional geometric improvements may be recommended upon completion of the corridor study. The feasibility of reconfiguring Wescott to a three-lane roadway with a continuous left-turn lane will be considered. Additional geometric improvements are also needed for Wescott Road due to the skew at its intersection with Lexington Avenue to insure safe design curves for 45 mph traffic speeds. a Z 4 L n{t d Po s5 i 31 1"V � d nuzvtc' -I i - � •�i[:" ;N< � OR � •>aLL7 RD � u.11�; ° COUar •gUSC i] tOvCt•r Ir I go 60-7 L"t, kyp � 'J1Y0.a � it 1\ 1\ � � �C�S.LL♦ � O ,� R�6' u I GC•INI A6�7 \\UII r CIR. �WCra! °aIr CT Ica VL 8 ♦M� uE r 0 P (� "IC"SITE ., aR .:Dr:M Tr.

PROPOSED LAYOUT LEXINGTON AVENUE AND WESCOTT ROAD II. NEED FOR PROJECT/PROJECT DISCUSSION The proposed installation of a traffic signal and recommended roadway improvements described in this report are needed at the Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road intersection due to the entering traffic volumes and to provide acceptable traffic operations at this intersection. Currently the all-way stop traffic control at this intersection is operating over capacity during the peak hours. Dakota County Highway Department has a signal project ranking system that prioritizes those intersections in need of a traffic signal. The intersection of Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road ranks number 10 according to the December 29, 1998 list. This ranking system is shown in the Appendix of this report. The recommended geometric improvements must be constructed concurrently with the installation of the traffic signal system at the Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road intersection. III. PUBLIC AND AGENCY INVOLVEMENT The City of Eagan will be the responsible agency for design and construction of the project. The City of Eagan and Dakota County will be required to coordinate funding. IV. DESIGN CRITERIA AND EXCEPTIONS No design exceptions to Mn/DOT or AASHTO standards are required. V. JUSTIFICATION Traffic signal justification will be based on applying the applicable warrant(s) for signal installation as outlined in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MMUTCD) and reconciling the roadway geometrics, proposed lane usage, existing traffic volumes and planned changes in the area roadway network with the requirements of the MMUTCD and sound traffic engineering practice. The signal warrants analysis is based on the assumptions shown below: Warrant Analysis Assumptions Geometry: Northbound Mainline 2 or more approach lanes Southbound Mainline 2 or more approach lanes Minor Street 2 or more approach lanes Approach Speeds: Mainline 50 mph Minor Stree / 45 mph 4 The Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) and Wescott Road intersection signal warrants analysis is based on April 1996 hourly approach traffic volumes (see Appendix for Traffic Count Data). Approach volumes from 1996 were available for the 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. time period. Approach volumes from 1993 were used from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. to check Warrant 2. Volumes from 1996 were estimated by applying an hourly factor interpolated from the 1993 volumes. The warrant summary from 1993 is included for reference in the Appendix of this report. The proposed roadway geometrics with the posted speed limits on both roadways were used in the analysis. Based on this signal warrants analysis, installation of traffic signal control is warranted at the Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) and Wescott Road intersection by satisfying the following signal warrants of the Mn/MUTCD: Warrant 1 – Minimum Volume Warrant, Warrant 2 – Interruption of Continuous Traffic Warrant, Warrant 6 – Accident Experience Warrant, Warrant 8 – Combination of Warrants, Warrant 9 – Four Hour Volume Warrant, and Warrant 11—Peak Hour Volume Warrant (see appendix for Warrants Analysis Summary). According to the warrants analysis summary, traffic volumes met the requirements for Warrant 6, Accident Experience Warrant. Based on accident data from January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1998, there were a total of 31 reported accidents at this intersection that resulted in the following: . Accidents Susceptible to Year # of Accidents Correction with Signalization 1993 5 4 1994 1 1 1995 3 3 1996 3 3 1997 7 4 1998 12 7 Total 31 22 The only accidents that are considered, when analyzing the accident warrant, are those that are susceptible to correction by traffic signal control. These include mostly right angle or left-turn accidents and must equal five or more for any 12-month period. Based on results of this analysis, the subject intersection does meet the minimum accident requirements of Warrant 6, Accident Experience Warrant. SRF Consulting Group collected a.m. and p.m. peak hour turning movement volumes at the Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road intersection, during the week of February 1 , 1999. These volumes were adjusted slightly to balance with nearby intersections along the Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road corridors. An additional adjustment was also made to annualize the traffic volumes. An unsignalized capacity analysis, based on the peak hour traffic volumes, indicated that this intersection currently operates over U I . capacity during the peak hours. The Lexington approaches to Wescott Road experience long queues and delays, based on field observation and analysis (see Appendix for Capacity Analysis). No pedestrian activity was observed during the peak hour traffic count time periods. A signalized capacity analysis was completed to determine how well the subject intersection would operate with the installation of a traffic signal. The analysis, with the existing volumes and proposed geometrics (see Figure 2), indicated that the intersection would operate at acceptable levels of service during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours (see Appendix for capacity analysis). A preliminary 2020 forecast operations analysis was completed using a yearly growth rate of 2.5 percent. This forecast is considered preliminary because SRF Consulting is currently working on a corridor study in which detailed information based on land use will be used to forecast 2020 volumes. This preliminary analysis was done to check the capacity of the proposed geometrics. The analysis indicates that the intersection is expected to operate at an acceptable level of service during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours with the installation of a traffic signal and geometric improvements. The additional traffic from the proposed future development in this area would only further strengthen the warrants for traffic signal control at the intersection. As stated above, the City of Eagan and SRF Consulting Group are currently working on a corridor study in this area for Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road. The corridor study will recommend long range improvements for these corridors, possibly including additional recommended improvements for this intersection. Additional geometric improvements are needed along Wescott Road due to the skew at the intersection. These design details will need to be addressed before the installation of the signal. It is concluded that on the basis of: (1) meeting Mn/MUTCD Warrants 1, 2, 6, 8, 9 and 11; (2) expected future increases in both proposed development and background growth, that installation of traffic signal control is justified at the intersection of Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) and Wescott Road.

Tyla Quy lives on Lexington&Diffley. Would like light at intersection of Lexington&Wescott. Very dangerous,many accidents and almost involved in many. With the Water Park there and children crossing, it is absolutely necessary. What does it take for someone to be killed at that intersection before we put a light there? It needs to be done ASAP. 2. Tom Wilpack lives in the Wescott Sq. area and in regards to the stop light at the intersection of Wescott and Lexington,I don't think it's such a good idea from the aspect that the traffic is moving too fast comoing North and South along Lexington. My gut feeling is that people will be running the red light and someone is going to get killed rather than just a 4-way stop right now,which would just be a fender bender. My suggestion would be to leave that as a 4-way stop and put signal lights at Duckwood and over off of the ballfield—the road coming off the ballfield along Lexington there. That would slow the traffic down so that if people can maneuver safely across the intersection they would break up the amount of traffic coming to that intersection so that pedestrians could cross safer and probably prevent a major accident from occurring. Right now,the traffic is moving at 50 mph along there and they come from Diffley and they're doing better than 50 heading north passing Savannah,as well as coming from the north going south from Yankee Doodle they're doing better than 55. So if that could be slowed down in any way it would be greatly appreciated and people in the area of the--------streets up there would appreciate it so that they can get in and out. Right now it is very difficult for them as well. My phone#if you would like to reach me is 454-3721. 3. I would like to vote yes for traffic signals at Lexington&Wescott. I think it would help to curb traffic problems during rush hour and help children who are trying to cross Lexington coming from the Wescott Library. If you need to contact me,my#at home is 452-2536 and my name is Jan Keprios. 4. I'm calling in response to the traffic signal at Wescott and Lexington. I feel that the only time there is bad traffic is in the morning and in the evening during peak traffic hours. To install another traffic light to accommodate those peak volume times I don't feel would solve the problem overall. I think it would be more of a nuisance to have it there day in and day out as it provides yet just one more stoplight, and lengthens the trip for people that live further in off the freeways to get to main arteries to get to destinations to work or wherever. I think the better option is to leave the current situation as it is with the stop sign and deal with the lines during rush hour both in the morning and evening. 5. I was calling in regard to the stop light at Wescott and Lexington. Yes,I defmitely do think there should be one as it is very much of a traffic hazard. If you come in that intersection any time between 3:00 and 7:00 at night you can hardly go, etc. 6. Natalie Elliott. Sitting in traffic backup at Lexington&Wescott right now. Defmitely think it's a great idea to have a traffic light at this intersection. 7. Lives in neighborhood. Approves traffic signal at Lex.&Wescott. 8. David Peterson, 940 Jefferson Lane. Strongly recommends traffic signal at intersection. Very good idea. Travels route every day and usually spends more time at that intersection than it takes to go downtown. 9. Question? What's the reason—convenience or safety? If it has to do with convenience only I think it's a real mixed bag. There are times when it really gets backed up quite a bit which is usually restricted to the rush hour. When you're talking about the bulk of the day and night throughout the week and weekends,I think that most of the time that intersection flows pretty smoothly. If question of safety that's another story. I think we're getting more and more intersections and that's one that seems to flow pretty smoothly. 10. Cynthia Adamson. Yes,definitely a signal is needed. Just spent 8 minutes at stop sign on my way home& it's probably one of those things that needs to be activated during certain times of the day&then it could simply go to a flashing red. During commute time of morning,evening&perhaps during school pickup times then a flashing red. 11. Lonna?-Believes a signal is long overdue. Should have been a priority ahead of other projects such as the Water Park,ice rink and tree planting. Primary responsibility of any govt. is the safety and welfare of the people first. 12. Karen—940 Jefferson Ln. Would be in favor of having a traffic light at intersection. Very bad in morning and evening during rush hour. At Yankee&Lone Oak traffic seems to flow more smoothly then at that intersection. For safety reasons it would be great—has seen many near accidents. 1 13. Brent 826 Hidden Meadow Tr. Do not need a stoplight-waste of money. Just waited the longest I've every waited—maybe 3 minutes. Living here 7+years and this is the longest I've ever waited. Light would just slow things down. 99%of the time during a 24 hour period it's not that busy. 14. Anyone can see the need for a light at that intersection. Passes through that intersection twice a_day and it is bad. Sees numerous near accidents,never an accident. 15. Yes,install a traffic light at that intersection,but also needs a light on Yankee Doodle right where the Blue Cross building is,the second entrance into the Home Depot, area there is a lot of traffic there and you really need to consider it. 16. What,are you cracked? How many accidents have to happen there? Every day there are 8 million cars lined up. How is that even an issue-why would you have a public hearing-it's a total no brainer. 17. Steve Holm. Would fully support the installation of a traffic signal.Backup of traffic especially on Lexington is a little lengthy during the rush hour periods. 18. Bonnie 3931 Crimson Tr. Understood this was approved and was suppose to be a go. That intersection is just waiting for a major accident,particularly during the rush hours. Surprised to hear that we have to continue to wait for the hearing. 19. Pat Dwyer 3769 Wescott Hills Dr. I'm amazed a light hasn't already gone there. I've seen lights go up in Eagan in places that are 1/10`s the problem that Lex.&Wescott are. We walk our daughter in that area- we've seen in three years probably 4 kids get hit by cars there because cars just go flying through that intersection. 20. Thinks it would be very helpful to have a light there. Goes through the intersection morning and evening and does tend to get backed up because sometimes people don't know how 4-way stops are supposed to work. Was more necessary than the one at Pilot&Wescott because for a long time that was dead end going into the Fire Station. 21. After waiting about 10 cars through that intersection,yes it's time. Lived here since 1989 and if you count the number of developments in the neighborhood both to the east and south,I think it's pretty ridiculous it's taken 10 years to get a light there. 22. Debbie Rogey would like to see a traffic light at intersection. 23. Dave--Full agreement a light is required. 24. 1 think it is a wonderful idea to put a light there. I get so frustrated being in a long line. We're all polite here in Eagan and no body wants to go in front of anyone else,and then everyone moves. Couldn't think of a more appropriate place for a light. 25. Lora wants a light at intersection. It's terrible-or else send Minnesotans to school and teach them what to do at a 4-way stop. 26. Judy Reinhardt lives in Bridle Ridge for almost 10 years and has commented for quite a while about how the traffic has increased in that area. Thinks it's a wonderful idea. Witnessed many near accidents and one accident. 27. I'm sitting in traffic jam right now. It's been needed for a long time. Get it in before someone gets killed here. 28. John 1043 Savannah Rd. Would like to see a light go there. A real safety hazard. 29. Just would like to vote yes to a signal. Will help the traffic immensely. 30. You cannot read the sign you have posted there as to the phone#unless you get close to it and even when I got close to it,I could not read the date and time of the meeting place. If you want some response to putting,a light there,get a sign there that people can read. 31. Louann Youngman is totally in favor of a stoplight. Gotten to a point where it's ridiculous to get through that intersection. People are not obeying the laws at all,there's road rage and it is very dangerous. I've personally had one accident there and there should have been stop lights at least 5 years ago. Couple of people that live there should not determine the safety of the whole city of Eagan. 32. Steve Reinhardt of Bridle Ridge. Good idea,especially during rush hour—lots of traffic and people aren't kind to each other and there have been several wrecks there. Will improve safety in the area. 33. Definitely should be light there—long time in coming—lots of development in the area. Light will bring order to the area. 34. In favor of a light at intersection. 35. Monica from Lakeville. Definitely a signal is warranted there. Gets confusing who goes next. Very prone to accidents,especially with pedestrians. 36. Very good thing to have a signal. Way too busy for a 4-way stop. People aren't taking their turn. Should have been done a long time ago. / 2 37. Uses intersection frequently. Traffic lights would be a real benefit. People come up and think they own that intersection. Good for pedestrians and bikers. Please consider my request. 38. Please put the signal in! There are numerous accidents. Children will be walking to the library and pool and it's an accident waiting to happen. 39. I'd love to see a signal go in,as I was involved in an accident at that comer. 40. Andy Garner-Constantly wishing for a traffic signal at that location. 41. Karen Johnson-thank you for the opportunity to give my input. It's my belief and experience that we don't need a signal just yet but maybe in the future. Right now the convenience of not having a traffic signal allows for faster travel. I'm there different times throughout the day. Rush hour is bad-takes a little bit longer. Would hate to see a signal at this point. 42. At intersection a lot. Very much needs a stoplight. Address-853 Govern Circle. 43. Yes. A signal is needed at that location. Another area is Lexington&Neil Armstrong Blvd. (Taystee Bread&Skyline Bldg.) Signal was needed for a long time at both locations. Neil Armstrong also needs 2 signs for handicapped area for some of the people that can get lost out there on the street or possibly run over by vehicles going too fast??? 44. Kevin Wiskus-651-405-6610. Supports project. Drives through it daily. People don't like to share at that corner. 45. We need a light at that intersection- needed one for the past 4-5 years. People don't know how to use 4- way stops. Children don't have a chance to get across that intersection during the 2 busy times of day. The pool will also add to the congestion. 46. Definitely needs a signal. Last year witnessed an accident at that intersection between squad and several vehicles. She had to be subpoenaed in order for Police to win the case. (Someone pulled in front of squad.) 47. Uses intersection often-definitely needs light. 48. Carol Bland-Husband and Carol feel light is definitely needed. More and more of a mess every day. Go for it! 49. If you have left-turn arrows on green with yield that would be great. 50. Imperative that a light goes in. If you've ever tried to walk across it,you'd know how people feel at rush hour-dodging cars. Huge amount of traffic increases on that road. 51. 3925 Boston Circle-Lexington Sq. development. Very much in favor of signal. Fear for safety of his children-will not let them cross there. Nobody stops for signs-trying to beat the next person. Has seen pedestrians nearly knocked down. Extremely hard to get out of his development. People are approaching 50-60 mph. Hard to come from a dead stand-still and then try to approach freeway speeds! Speeds are posted 45 mph-50 mph. People are going around 60. Whole stretch should be 45 mph,and more squads should patrol the area-never seen an officer stop anyone. 52. Dr. Clark-Signal is long past due. 53. Supports light. 54. Teresa-Plenty of traffic at intersection-certainly could support a stoplight. Surprised more accidents don't happen. 55. Julie-Would be an excellent idea. Please move two of those stop signs down to Wescott and Denmark. Very difficult to cross at that intersection. 56. Judy-454-6869. Great idea for light. At night when less traffic,maybe a blinking red/yellow or have a timer so that when a car approaches the light would change. Very busy during rush hours but not busy at all at night. Be sure to take that into consideration. 57. Never been a fan of signals,but if there's ever been a light that's needed,it's at that location. Also should move eastbound sign to westbound Wescott. Alot of people have made comments that they saw sign but couldn't read it. 58. Votes 10,000 times for a light. Has had many near misses. 59. About time a light goes in. Has seen numerous accidents and pedestrians have a hard time going though intersection. 60. Definitely a light is needed. Nobody gives the kids a break that are trying to cross. 61. Fabulous idea. Lives on Northview Park Road. Hard to get out onto Lexington. 62. Would like to see a light go in. Rush hours are a mess. 63. Bob Wenck-681-0279. Thanks for letting us respond. He would love to see a sign go there. 64. Would like to see a signal go there. Should be on a pressure plate system rather than just straight timing. 65. All in favor of light. Traffic is just out of control. Too many accidents. /� � 3 66. Supports light. City and County should have sufficient engineering staff and criteria which supports or denies if traffic signalization should take place. I think these studies should determine if a light should go in or not. 67. 3739 Ridgewood Dr. Two kids are looking forward to Water Park. Would like to see a light go in there. 68. Speed limits are much too high on Wescott&Lexington. People are flying by. Many children/residents out on sidewalks enjoying the area. Signal may be a good idea,but I think the speed is a bigger issue. 69. Brian--651-7541.President of Eagan Hills Farms homeowners association. 308 homes in association. Annual meeting in January discussed proposed light at intersection. About 80 homeowners at meeting. Everyone at meeting was in favor of light. Big concern is speed along Wescott. People driving 50 mph. Signal would slow things down. 70. Long overdue for a light at that intersection. Has relatives who stay with her periodically and guests have decided to stop using intersection because of the mess. 71. Mike--Lexington Sq. Would not like a signal there. Likes the country feel of not having a light there. Knows it is busy there during rush hours. 686-4656. 72. Stop light is needed for about an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. Left-turn signals impede the traffic for all of the time except for this time. Would like signal as long as left-turn signal gets turned off for the 22 hours they're not needed. 73. Should be light at intersection. Rush hour bad. 74. 3645 Blue Jay Way. Would like light there as long as it will allow me to leave my neighborhood as far as the timing of the light at Wescott&Lex.adjusts the traffic flow so I can cross over Lex. from either Duckwood or Falcon Way. 75. Important to put one there. Once every week or two I almost see a near miss. Light would control area. 76. Likes idea. 77. Traffic backs up really bad. Stoplight would move traffic along. 78. Would like to see light there. Sign that's there telling us about this very important information is way too small. It's ridiculous. Phone#should be in real big letters. 79. Thinks light should be there for rush hours,but flashing red during day—very simple. 80. 1059 Battle Creek Rd. House backs up to Wescott. Doesn't believe light is needed for traffic that goes down Wescott but is needed for Lexington which at many times is backed up. Do like Diffley& Blackhawk. Don't take Wescott and widen it again;we've already lost property due the original widening of Wescott. Wescott is fairly short. Have about 15 years of growth on shrubbery and would hate to lose that. If you need a light, do it where there would be a tum lane(which is already there)from Lexington onto Wescott and just make the center lane on Wescott a turning lane with people who want to tum right. 81. Witnessed and been a part of many near misses. Wise move to put in a signal. 82. Carol Porkowsky—Yes,needs a signal. 83. Been an Eagan resident for 17 years. With few exceptions,he does not see the need for a light. Is not aware of any accidents at that site. One option would be to put in a 4-way flashing red light,which would be much more visible than the small 4-way stop signs. If it is considered to put a light in,then he would assume a light would be timed in favor of the more heavily traveled street,which he assumes is Lexington. If that type of light is put in,then he hopes that someone would have the sense to set the light so that at non-rush hour times and especially at night,it does revert to a standard 4-way flashing red. The technology exists for that. 84. Allen Carson—Certainly would support the light—long overdue. 85. Lives in Lex. Sq. Development. She's against the light. Light would not make it feel very country—light would feel like they're right down in the heart of downtown. People just need to slow down. 86. Stop light,yes,sooner than later. 87. Works at library. Year ago in February was hit at that intersection. Someone ran the light. Five months later,hit again by someone going south on Lexington. Lexington is a long stretch and you can really get going on that stretch. Yes,needs a light. 88. John—950 Waterford Dr.W. —Fully supports signal. 89. As he was dialing number to leave this message,he witnessed nearly 2 accidents occurring simultaneously. Definitely need light. 90. Watched intersection get busier and busier. Wait is really ridiculous. Hopes light goes in. 91. Definitely would like to see a signal at intersection. 4 92. Cecelia-Can't comment at public hearing and thanks you for the opportunity to voice her opinion. She's a critical care nurse and a driver with over 25 years experience. People not making proper left-turn moves. City Council defmitely needs to approve signal. 3579 Woodland Ct. 681-8661. 93. Please put a stop light at intersection. Will manage the traffic much better. 94. Denice Rueter. Was not able to attend open house. Would like background info.#933-9753 x 62183. 95. Denice at 3886 Newton Ct. Extremely in favor of stoplight. Lex. Sq.has many children and with pool opening up,children will be riding their bikes to get there. Definitely need light-neighbors also agree with her-454-9021. 96. Dick Lewis-Princeton Tr. Fully supports light. Every year intersection becomes busier and busier. 97. When someone on City Council gets idea for something,it's going to happen,not if it's going to happen. Witnessed the Water Park. He would hope that the traffic light would go to a 4-way flashing red when it is not rush hour. Personally,I would rather see an overhead light installed at Lexington&Wilderness with flashing Caution for Lexington traffic and flashing red for Wilderness traffic. 98. Rick 405-0416. Supports light. 99. Strongly supports signal. 4-way stops cause so much congestion. 100. Yes-signal is needed. 101. A traffic light is well over needed. 4-way stops do not work in MN-People are way too polite in MN! 102. Definitely a good idea for a signal. 103. A light is needed at the intersection. Watched the issue on cable. Money could have been saved and just went ahead with the light. Why spend the money on the study! 104. Peggy 686-5169-Supports the signal. Deadly for any child trying to cross the street-even adults. Once pool opens,pedestrian and bike traffic will increase drastically. 105. Please install a traffic signal. 106. One of the busiest intersections he has ever seen during rush hour. Light definitely needed. 107. Believes light is needed. 108. Very much in favor of light. Very dangerous-just a matter of time before someone gets killed. She lives in the Woodlands. Would like to see some way for her neighborhood to get directly north to Yankee Doodle. She knows people in Wescott Hills successfully defeated the north/south link and some Woodlands residents participated in that. Would have taken so much traffic off the Lex/Wescott intersection and would have helped Woodlands Tr. If in new construction of the northern part of Wescott Hills up by entrance to Carriage Hills Golf Course -if there is some way to link up that street to bring a direct link down to Woodlands area that would take pressure off Lex./Wescott intersection. 109. Doesn't see need. Thinks stop signs work great. 110. Doesn't see need for light at intersection. 111. Barb-in favor of light. 112. John-849 Govern Circle. Supports traffic signal at intersection. 113. Does not believe light should be installed. Cars seem to speed up before light is about to turn red,or run the red. Only twice a day when really congested. 114. Pete-In favor of light.456-0580. 115. Supports light at intersection. Amazed there are not more accidents. 116. Dan Lodahl supports light at intersection. 117. Signal lights are greatly overdue. 118. Michelle Lodahl supports light. 119. Pat Hagen 687-0914-In favor of light during rush hour-blinking light after that. 120. Took me 12 minutes to get through intersection(5:00 p.m.),and witnessed 2 near misses. Please get traffic light in as soon as possible. 121. Definitely a great idea. 10 minutes of her 30 minute commute is at that intersection. 122. Took him exactly 7 minutes to get to 4-way stop. Signal is needed. 123. Spent 13 minutes trying to get through intersection. Light is imperative. (6:00 p.m.) 124. Off-hours do not warrant traffic signal. Rush hour is a different story,but feels traffic moves along fairly smoothly. Intersection does not warrant a signal. 125. Basically a good idea but many times during the day a flashing red would work-with red and green during rush hour. If this isn't the way you're going to do it and it would be red and green all the time,people will get frustrated. 126. In favor of light. 5 127. 1. Rush hour is unbearable. 2. Safety issue—Main bike paths there and very dangerous. 3. Sign is extremely difficult to see as it's too small. 128. Sitting at intersection. Almost saw a car run over a small child. You're many years behind in getting this light in. Get it in now!! 129. Line-up is 2 blocks long(6:15 p.m.). 130. All for light. 131. Yes—a light is needed at intersection. 132. Definitely supports a light. 133. Yes,a light is needed—no one understands right-of-way rules. 134. Light is long overdue. 135. Larry Krueger feels light would do a good job. Most people do not know how to do a 4-way stop. 905- 9198. 136. Lives on Camberwell Dr. Would like to see signal at intersection. 137. Tired of sitting in line coming south on Lexington. 138. We'll probably get a light there because 5 people out of 500 people want one. I suggest if anyone has considered timing that light so that someone leaving the first light at Diffley and proceeding at the speed limit will hit that light green and also the light at Lone Oak&Yankee Doodle. I realize this would have the effect of enhancing traffic flow but sometimes things like that just can't be avoided if you think about it a little bit! 139. The intersection definitely needs a light. 140. Encourages a light at that intersection. Most dangerous controlled intersection I've encountered in my driving. Water Park will add to the traffic through that intersection. 141. The need for a light at that intersection is a no brainer. It needed to be done yesterday. It's very annoying each day to have that problem there. Second place for a light is at Wilderness and Lexington—that's an accident waiting to happen. The way people come down that hill and children are crossing to that park— someone will be killed before a light or at least a flashing"Pedestrian Crossing" will be installed. The City is getting bigger and these are things that need to be taken care of soon. Keith Carlson - 1299 Wilderness Lane. 142. Colleen—Agrees a signal needs to be installed. Will make the condition safer and a better flow of traffic. 143. In favor of light at intersection. 144. Lora Peterson—Would not like to see a traffic light go at that intersection. I think the intersection is very busy during rush hour and can be a hassle,but at other times I think it would be a waste of time sitting at a traffic light. She hates that. Everyone needs to be courteous and continue to use the 4-way stop and save us all some time for the other hours in the afternoons,evenings and weekends when it's not busy. 145. In favor of light at intersection. She many times has to sit at that light for long times in the evening. 146. Yes,please put a signal or otherwise have someone direct traffic. 6 TRAFFIC SIGNAL OPEN HOUSE —MAY 19, 1999 Lexington Avenue & Wescott Road Intersection Signalization 1. Are you in favor of a traffic signal at this 2. If yes, which of the following proposed intersection? options would you most strongly support? 9 Yes 5 A. 5-Lane 6 No 3 B. 3-Lane 3 C. Split Phase Comments: Prouerty Location: Witham Lane ♦ My wife and myself cross this intersection going to or from work. This intersection desperately needs a signal. My wife was involved in a collision at this location due to lack of a signal. Danbury Trail ♦ I've written the City twice before regarding this issue stating my support for a light at this intersection. I use this intersection when biking and walking and have found that a light would greatly improve safety. Westbury Drive ♦ I feel C would be effective with less impact on existing properties. However, B is reasonable. Concern: The push towards the south with the roadway. Is there a way to balance more toward the north? Westbury Drive ♦ Option B provides less traffic on Wescott Rd. and should reduce concerns for residents accessing Wescott Rd. from Westbury Drive. Westbury Lane ♦ What about trees on lots 3800 and the one to the right? Storm drain movement from back of 3800 Westbury. Briar Creek Road ♦ This once again is a terrible decision. Be in our shoes. Traffic will be on our door steps and the noise unbearable. Come sit in our backyards at rush hour. Pedestrian use is heavy during warm weather and will be more dangerous when someone goes through a red light at 40-60 mph. vs. 15 mph. and hits someone at the Lexington and Wescott crossing. There's now a little wait at Wescott/Lexington intersection and with lights your average wait will be longer. Your taking so much of our property is unacceptable. Come on people and use your common sense. Come to your senses and come up with a plan that's reasonable. If this was your home you would feel exactly the same way. A/)/ Briar Creek Road ♦ I prefer the existence of a stop sign. Only twice a day folks need to wait; all other times of the day the corners are a ghost town. The stop sign causes traffic to slow down from an otherwise highway speed. I feel the proposed 5-lane option is outrageous. As an adjacent property owner, the 3 options presented all infringe on the south side. I feel you need to present/consider a design that would share or move to the north side of Wescott Rd.. When we moved in 1985 to this property, Wescott Rd. was a dirt road. The City widened the road and put in a walking trail that took up our existing yard and created a steep incline in the back yard. We have planted shrubs and trees and built a fence. All these would be losses to us with proposal A& B. What about the involvement of the Williams Pipeline? What happens with our ability to exist from Savannah with a light? Would we find it even more difficult with fast traffic from the Diffley Rd. direction and now the faster Lexington Ave. traffic. I feel if a traffic light gets passed that surely there should be movement to the north. Additionally the "unacceptable" split phase is more reasonable even though it requires some additional wait time. Elrene Ct. ♦ The 5-lane approach appears to relieve the congestion problem for present and future needs. I would like to see the Wescott Rd. crossing changed to 83 degrees to minimize property impacts at All Saints Lutheran Church. Elrene Ct. All Saints Lutheran Church ♦ From a church standpoint, I favor the 5-lane approach. We have a concern about our sign and sprinkler systems. Also, is there other grading and drainage problems/concerns that need to be addressed? Gibraltar Trail ♦ We could use a signal at this intersection, however, this impacts only the people on the south side of Wescott Rd. (Again!) How about the property on the north side. The homeowners on the south side are the ones with all the landscaping! Please be sensitive and equitable to the homeowners on the south side of Wescott Rd. Havenhill Circle ♦ I travel through this intersection by car, bike and walking approximately six times per day. We very much need lights. The option with 5 lanes seems to be the best long term safety and capacity solution. The issue seems to be identifying and equitable sharing of the land usage. Gibraltar Trail ♦ Here we go again—The south side of Wescott Rd. again takes the brunt of land loss and landscaping damage—to say nothing about thejg�Lof heavy traffic and fumes a few feet from the back door and bedroom windows. Plan A is totally unacceptable to us—this cut is much larger than the original plan from several years ago. Please stop by and we'll be happy to �a� measure out for you what we will loose in land and trees that have finally grown and covered the view. The Wethern's next door will literally lose their backyard, if you come and view the short hill they have now. Why are the south folks with the small lots again to be affected with northern lots untouched and unaffected by traffic?? Plan B affects us also with significant loss of land and trees. With the widening of Wescott Rd. years ago,the City of Eagan failed miserably in their commitment to repair fencing and landscaping. We did it ourselves at our expense. How do I have confidence in "negotiating"terms again?? Does the"proposed compensation"truly value the real cost of property, trees at their current size (small trees are not acceptable) and loss of property resale—does anybody care about these issues that affect our daily life on Wescott Rd. and the future sale of our homes?? Please, please take another hard look at what is happening to people's lives so others can have the privilege of driving through even faster. Briar Creek Road ♦ I wish for Option C, but that's too much of a wish—it's only a tease. Option A is in no way acceptable! —it would be like a freeway in my backyard. Option B is workable if modified so that the homeowners on the south side of Wescott Rd. this time are not affected as they were in the last adjustment this roadway was redone. There is room to the north side of Wescott that can be used—effecting one homeowner for the first time rather than many homeowners to the south of Wescott Rd.for the second time! This property to the north is very large in square footage, would be a sliver of land percentage wise in comparison to the many property owners on the south of Wescott Rd. Also this property is eventually going to be needing this for future housing etc. Anyway, if common sense and logic is to be part of the mix in the preliminary plans as said by "Tom"the obvious and I'm in no way versed on drawings of this magnitude, but its clear that Plan B if shifted north again, would effect far fewer homeowners and still bring the needed change seen by the City and those who don't live in the effected area. Briar Creek Road ♦ Option C needs to be considered, rather than ruled out because of increased signal (green light) time for left turns. It has less impact to all surrounding property. Thirty to sixty seconds longer at an intersection is not significant—especially when compared to the quality of life that is suffered by property owners. Another option needs to be considered. One,that the impact to the north side of Wescott Rd. is shared with that to the south side that already is very close to the bike path. The properties directly behind us on the north side are far larger (5 acres). There would be less financial impact and privacy impact to them. It appears that whichever option is chosen, there will be "some" impact to our property. Given that, I have the following concerns: no privacy—even in our home, how our fence and landscaping will be restored, previous experience proves this is an issue, our property value will decrease— how is the compensated for? Regarding #1 above, I am disappointed that someone from the County isn't here to address the metrics involved in the reasoning behind rejecting Option «C„ 103 Briar Creek Road First, no signal is needed. During the last consideration, the Council voted this down mainly for safety reasons; Glacier Hills and Woodlands School and high speeds that could create a problem. Now, if a signal is a must only option C should be considered. It will allow the complaining people who think they are inconvenienced to have their stop light, and at least leave those of us who live there to not have half of our yards turned into asphalt, and probably a tax assessment to pay for our own yards to be reduced. It is HAPERATIVE that the City Council insist that Dakota County approve only Plan C. All others are unacceptable to the Lexington/Wescott neighborhoods. Plan C is the only plan that the Council can in good concience endorse. TRAFFIC SIGNAL OPEN HOUSE—MAY 25, 1999 Lexington Avenue & Wescott Road Intersection Signalization 1. Are you in favor of a traffic signal at this 2. If yes, which of the following proposed intersection? options would you most strongly support? 1 Yes _ A. 5-Lane No B. 3-Lane _ C. Split Phase 1 D. 3-lane north E. 5-lane north Comments: Property Location: Princeton Trail ♦ This is a congested, confusing and complex intersection at peak traffic times, in good weather. Rain, snow or sleet double or triple these conditions. We have lived in the City for 13 years and have endured this dangerous intersection in the hope of a traffic signal. My family has experienced close calls, both in vehicles and as pedestrians at this intersection. My understanding of this intersection is that an early feasability study(1995?) showed this interesection to be poor in terms of functionability and safety. This is even more now. Since 1995, we have had several new housing subdivisions developed, increasing the City population and traffic use of this intersection. In addition, we have a new water park opening in several weeks. So beside traffic to the library, we will have increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic at this intersection. We have had other developments in the City that probably have increased traffic on all lanes/roads north of Diffley, i.e. the Theater and Promenade Business Center. M y TRAFFIC SIGNAL OPEN HOUSE—MAY 26, 1999 Lexington Avenue & Wescott Road Intersection Signalization 1. Are you in favor of a traffic signal at this 2. If yes, which of the following proposed intersection? options would you most strongly support? 6 Yes _ A. 5-Lane 2 No _ B. 3-Lane 2 C. Split Phase 7 D. 3-lane north E. 5-lane north Comments: Property Location: Briar Creek Rd. ♦ Plan D is more economical, no or little movement of pipeline, few property rights issues, pedestrian safety better and less expensive for future light installation on Wescott Rd. Gibraltar Trail ♦ I do not have direct impack with land and support Option D as it doesn't move the road closer to my property. Mrs. Bratlin's (spelling?) concerns about no retaining walls and landscaping options should be considered with this option. Gibraltar Trail ♦ Very much like Plan D for its 3-lane change to improve pedestrians safety and minimal impact on homeowners. Gibraltar Trail ♦ Least impact on neighborhood—most livable option for all concerned, - motorists and homeowners alike. Westbury Drive ♦ Compromise was done well. The 5 lane would invite more traffic,this would be more difficult to cross. Briar Creek Rd. ♦ Option D is acceptable too me, although at the Open House I chose Option C. 0 Briar Creek Rd. ♦ This will effect much fewer property owners! The split phase would effect no one. If you limited the sidewalks in this area to one side you would save 8' plus and also have less concern about pedestrians. Wescott Rd. ♦ Eliminate truck traffic, stay under 90004 GVW. Briar Creek Rd. ♦ At the informational meeting, I voted against a signal. But now having spoke to many neighbors, I see that in general many favor a light. Given that the Engineering Dept. has revisited their plans and come up with Plan D which greatly reduces impact to property owners, I can now support a traffic signal according to Plan D. I like the safety factor of a 3- lane and not having to dig up the Williams Pipeline. A big thank you to Tom Colbert for meeting with neighbors again. Agenda Information Memo June 1, 1999 C.

NORTHWOOD PARKWAY OFFICIAL MAP 669-1 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Receive Official Map #669-1 and schedule a Public Hearing for July 6, 1999. FACTS: • Since 1985, the City has recognized the growing congestion in the I-35E, Yankee Doodle and Pilot Knob Road interchange. In 1991, the City Council amended the Transportation Plan Element of the Comprehensive Guide Plan to identify the future "Ring Road" concept. A segment of this Ring Road consists of the extension of Northwood Parkway over I-35E connecting Lexington Ave. to Pilot Knob Rd. at the existing intersection of Highsite Drive. This alignment bisects the Glen Pond Apartment complex. The owner of the property has been anxious to proceed with an expansion of the apartment complex that will conflict with the proposed alignment of the Northwood Drive Ring Road segment. The property owner requested the City to define the alignment of Northwood Parkway to assist in his future site planning. • In order to preserve and protect this transportation corridor, on April 28, 19998, the Council authorized the preparation of an Official Map for this alignment. This is a statutory process (Mn. Statute 462.359) that entitles the City to preserve land with a formal recorded survey of land needed for future roadway improvements. A public hearing to approve this Official Map was held on June 16. It was continued to Oct. 20 to provide time for staff to investigate other possible alignments. Due active progress being made on evaluating alternatives after initially meeting with affected property owners, on Oct 20, the Council cancelled the Official Map #669-1 and directed sstaff to resubmit when an acceptable alignment had been defined. • Informational meetings were held on Sept. 30, October 22 and Nov. 12 to further review and discuss alignment options. The original concept alignment has been reconfirmed with the understanding that the City would pursue the acquisition of.excess MnDOT right of way between Marice Dr. and I-35E to be used in a land swap for the Ring Road right of way. Appraisals have been prepared and submitted to MnDOT along with an application to formal reconveyance of this excess right of way. MnDOT's process will take another 60-90 days before the City will be able to proceed with formal right of way acquisitions and/or land exchanges. ISSUES: • Recently, the Glen Pond Apartments property owner has submitted an application to expand the apartment complex without taking into consideration the Ring Road alignment. Therefore, it is now necessary for the City Council to revive the Official Map process to preserve this corridor and minimize the acquisition costs to the City in the future. If the Council decides to allow the expansion of the Glen Pond Apartments with out the Northwood right of way being preserved or Official Mapping the alignment, the Council should then direct staff to amend the Comprehensive guide plan to delete the Ring Road.

HWY 55 ACCESS MANAGEMENT STUDY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Receive the State Trunk Highway 55 Access Management Study and pass a resolution adopting the findings and recommendations. FACTS: • In August of 1998, The City entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with MnDOT to prepare an Access Management Plan for a 2.2 mile segment of Hwy 55 between Lexington Ave./Blue Gentian Rd. and the eastern corporate limits with Inver Grove Heights. • MnDOT, City staff and the SRF Consulting Group, Inc., held numerous informational neighborhood meetings with property owners located along the corridor informing them of options, proposals and alternatives. ,Detailed traffic counts, 20-year growth projections and development impacts were evaluated. ,The completed plan reduces the number of full turning movement access locations from 12 to 6 over this 2-mile stretch of a 4-lane divided principal arterial roadway. • If this plan is adopted, it will become a planning document for both the City and the State to use in reviewing all future development applications and designing future public roadway improvements. The adoption of this plan will greatly enhance the City's ability to qualify for Regional and State funding to assist in the financing of the projects. It will help preserve the integrity of the regional transportation system as well as providing safe and reasonable access to local development and businesses.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT—MASTER MECHANICAL ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve a Conditional Use Permit to allow the outside storage of materials upon a upon a 2.4 acre parcel of land located north of Gemini Road and west of Neil Armstrong Boulevard subject to the conditions listed in the APC meeting minutes. FACTS: ➢ Last Fall,while doing a follow-up landscape plan inspection, staff discovered that Master Mechanical was storing semi-trailers and various HVAC related materials (related to their business)haphazardly outside on the north side of their building without a conditional use permit. Thus, the requested conditional use permit represents an effort by the applicant to bring the existing outside storage activities into compliance with City Code requirements. ➢ The proposed outdoor storage activities are proposed to be confined to an area north of the existing building. ➢ No physical changes to the existing building or site have been proposed. ➢ At their regular meeting on May 25, 1999, the Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Conditional Use Permit and recommended approval subject to the conditions listed in the APC meeting minutes. ATTACHMENTS (2) May 25, 1999 APC Meeting Minutes pagevg"/ 7 Staff report,pages Othrough_ Page 2 May 25, 1999 ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARINGS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- MASTER MECHANICAL Chair Heyl opened the first public hearing of the evening regarding a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow outdoor storage of materials including semi-tractor trailers upon a 2.4 acre parcel of land located north of Gemini Road and west of Neil Armstrong Boulevard in the NW'/4 of Section 11. The proposed outdoor storage activities are to be located north of the site's existing structure. Planner Kirmis introduced this item. Mr. Kirmis highlighted the information presented in City staffs planning report dated May 7, 1999. Mr. Kirmis noted the background and history, the surrounding uses and the existing conditions of the subject property. Mr. Kirmis noted that during a landscape inspection it was discovered that semi-trailers and equipment were being stored on the premises without a conditional use permit. The applicant has applied for a conditional use permit to bring its activities into compliance with City Code. The applicant Mr. Peters addressed the Commission noting that the building consisted of only 30,000 square feet. Mr. Peters informed the Commission that his business has grown tremendously since he located to Eagan. He stated that he would work with City staff with respect to screening the outdoor storage and may propose to have the northerly access gated as a means of protecting his property. Chair Heyl closed the public hearing. In a response to a question from Member Steininger, Mr. Kirmis stated that the amount of parking would still comply with City Code even though the outside storage would eliminate some areas of parking. Members of the Commission expressed their appreciation to the applicant for seeking compliance with the City Code. Member Tilley moved, Member Huusko seconded, a motion to recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow outdoor storage of materials including semi-tractor trailers upon a 2.4 acre parcel of land located north of Gemini Road and west of Neil Armstrong Boulevard in the NW'/4 of Section 11, subject to the following conditions: 1. The Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded within 60 days of its approval by the City Council. 2. All materials shall be stored and maintained in an orderly fashion. 3. All storage materials including a maximum of four truck trailers shall be stored on the site and shall be confined to the area north of the site's principal structure as specifically designated on the site plan. 116 Page 3 May 25, 1999 ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION 4. Additional screening (i.e. landscaping, fencing, berming or combination thereof) shall be provided such that stored materials are not visible from the Neil Armstrong Boulevard right-of-way. All voted in favor. /l� PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: May 7, 1999 CASE: 11-CU-05-04-99 APPLICANT: Master Mechanical Inc. HEARING DATE: May 25, 1999 PROPERTY OWNER: PNP, L.L.P. PREPARED BY: Bob Kirmis REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit (Outdoor Storage) LOCATION: 1027 Gemini Road COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Limited Industrial ZONING: I-1, Limited Industrial SUMMARY OF REQUEST Master Mechanical Inc. is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit(CUP)to allow outdoor storage of materials including semi-tractor trailers upon a 2.4 acre parcel of land located north of Gemini Road and west of Neil Armstrong Boulevard in the NW '/a of Section 11. The proposed outdoor storage activities are to be located north of the site's existing structure. No physical changes to the existing building or site have been proposed. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Conditional Use Permit City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.40, 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: A. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. Planning Report—Master Mechanical Inc. May 25, 1999 Page 2 B. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and City Code provisions. C. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area,nor substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. D. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets,police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal,water and sewer systems and schools. E. Will not involve uses, activities,processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be hazardous or detrimental to any persons,property or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. F. Will have vehicular ingress and egress to the property which does not create traffic congestion or interfere with traffic on surrounding public streets. G. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. 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. Outdoor Storage Conditions: In addition to the requirements for a conditional use permit listed above, City Code Section 11.10, Subdivision 29.2, C, lists performance standards for outdoor storage as follows: 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. 2. 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. Planning Report—Master Mechanical Inc. May 25, 1999 Page 3 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. 4. The storage area shall not interfere with any pedestrian or vehicular movement. 5. The storage area shall not take up required parking spaces or landscaping areas. 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. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The Eagandale Center Industrial Park No. 3 subdivision within which the subject site is located was approved in 1969. The approximate 30,000 square foot warehouse building in question was constructed in October of 1997. Last Fall, while doing a follow-up landscape plan inspection, staff discovered that Master Mechanical was storing semi-trailers and various HVAC related materials (related to their business) haphazardly outside on the north side of their building without a conditional use permit. Thus, the requested conditional use permit represents an effort by the applicant to bring the existing outside storage activities into compliance with City Code requirements.. EXISTING CONDITIONS The property in question is fully developed and bounded on all sides by industrial uses (several of which include accessory outdoor storage activities). The site is currently accessed both from the south via Gemini Road and the east via Neil Armstrong Boulevard. Specific materials which have and continue to be stored include semi-tractor trailers and a variety of HVAC related equipment. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North- Fritz Companies; zoned I-1, Limited Industrial and guided IND, Limited Industrial. South - Russel Metals; zoned I-1, Limited Industrial and guided IND, Limited Industrial. East - Eagan Business Center; zoned I-1, Limited Industrial and guided IND, Limited Industrial. West - Apache Hose &Belting; zoned I-1, Limited Industrial and guided IND, Limited Industrial. Planning Report—Master Mechanical Inc. May 25, 1999 Page 4 EVALUATION OF REQUEST Compatibility with Surrounding-Area-The area in which Master Mechanical is located is characterized by warehousing and light industrial activities several of which include accessory outdoor storage. The proposed outdoor storage activities are to be located on the north side of the existing warehouse structure and are not anticipated to negatively impact surrounding properties. As proposed however, the outside storage area will be partially visible from public rights of way(Neil Armstrong Boulevard). Site Plan-As mentioned previously, no physical changes to the site have been proposed. The proposed outdoor storage area is to be located on the north side of the property and is proposed to accommodate up to four semi-trailers and a recycling bin. According to the City Code, outdoor storage areas must be screened from view from the public right-of-way and from any adjacent property that is designated for residential uses in the Comprehensive Guide Plan. The applicant has indicated that the outdoor storage area is to be screened via a combination of an existing retaining wall, existing wrought iron fence and shrubbery. While the outside storage area will be screened to southbound travelers on Neil Armstrong Boulevard, the area will be highly visible to northbound travelers. As a condition of CUP approval, additional screening(i.e. landscaping, fencing,berming, or combination thereof) should be provided such that stored materials are not visible from the Neil Armstrong Boulevard right-of way. It should be noted that modifications to the site's present circulation pattern (within the loading area) may be necessary to achieve a successful screen. Provided additional screening is provided, all of the Outdoor Storage conditions appear to be met. Grading/Storm Drainage-No physical changes to the site have been proposed that will affect storm water drainage. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed outside storage area is to be located in an industrial area that has historically been used for such activity. Provided additional screening is provided along Neil Armstrong Boulevard and materials are stored in an orderly fashion, the storage appears compatible with the area and the standards set forth for outdoor storage by a business. The outdoor storage area has been defined and does not compete with existing off-street parking areas. Planning Report—Master Mechanical Inc. May 25, 1999 Page 5 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the outside storage of materials upon a upon a 2.4 acre parcel of land located north of Gemini Road and west of Neil Armstrong Boulevard. If approved, the following conditions should apply: 1. The Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded within 60 days of its approval by the City Council. 2. All materials shall be stored and maintained in an orderly fashion. 3. All storage materials including a maximum of four truck trailers shall be stored on site and shall be confined to the area north of the site's principal structure as specifically designated on the site plan. 4. Additional screening (i.e. landscaping, fencing, berming, or combination thereof) shall be provided such that stored materials are not visible from the Neil Armstrong Boulevard right- of way. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION— 11-CU-05-04-99 - Lots 22 & 23,Block 5, Eagandale Center Industrial Park 3rd There are pay-off balances of special assessments totaling $-2,297- on the parcel for which the conditional use permit is requested. This estimated financial obligation is subject to change based upon the areas, dimensions and land uses for the parcel which the conditional use is requested. Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the uses proposed for the property, the following charges are proposed. The charges are computed using the City's existing fee schedule and for the connection and availability of the City's utility system.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE—ELLER MEDIA COMPANY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: ➢ To approve a Conditional Use Permit to erect a 624 square foot off-premise sign upon a 1.2 acre property(which comprises a portion of the Lost Spur Country Club) located south of I-494 and east of T.H. 13 (2750 Sibley Memorial Highway) subject to the conditions listed in the APC meeting minutes. ➢ To approve a Conditional Use Permit to erect a 672 square foot off-premise sign upon a 67.1 acre property(which comprises a portion of the Lost Spur Country Club) located south of I-494 and east of T.H. 13 (2750 Sibley Memorial Highway) subject to the conditions listed in the APC meeting minutes. ➢ To approve a Variance to allow two off-premise signs to have a separation of 1,250 feet. FACTS: ➢ A 756 square foot off-premise sign currently exists upon the subject 67.1 acre property which was approved by conditional use permit in the winter of 1985. ➢ The applicant wishes to remove the previously approved sign and erect a new sign on the 1.2 acre property 446 feet to the west of the present sign location. In addition, the applicant wishes to move their present 1,344 square foot sign located at T.H 13 and Silver Bell Road to the east side of the 67.1 acre property. It is further the intent of the applicant to remove their existing 500 square foot off-premise sign located at 4855 Robert Trail. ➢ The applicant's proposal would reduce the total number of off-premise signs in the City (from 14 to 13)while the area of such signage would basically remain the same (from 7,797 to 7,789 square feet). ➢ At their regular meeting on May 25, 1999, the Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the applicants requests and recommended the following: • Approval of a Conditional use permit to allow the 672 square foot sign (upon the 67.1 acre parcel) subject to the conditions listed in the APC meeting minutes. • Denial of a conditional use permit to allow the 624 square foot sign (upon the 1.2 acre parcel of land). ia � ISSUES: ➢ The City Code states that off-premise business signs may only be erected upon property zoned for business or industrial use. While the subject property is technically not zoned for"business"use,the golf club is operated as a commercial activity. A determination whether or not the applicant's request is consistent with the spirit and intent of the ordinance is considered a policy matter to be determined by the City Council. ➢ As part of the City's recent approval of the Silver Bell Commons development, an agreement was reached between the City and Duke Realty which specifies that the existing sign located at T.H.13 and Silver Bell Road must be removed no later than August, 2003. ➢ The APC did not believe the applicant provided reasonable hardship to allow a variance to the minimum off-premise sign spacing requirement. ATTACHMENTS (2) April 25, 1999 APC Meeting Minutes pageSZ30 3oP Staff report,pages/Vthrough SSD lay Page 4 May 25, 1999 -- ADVISORY PLANNING COMNUSSION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ELLER MEDIA COMPANY Chair Heyl opened the next public hearing of the evening regarding a Conditional Use Permit to erect an off-premise sign upon a 1.2 acre property (which comprises a portion of the Lost Spur Country Club) located south of I-494 and east of T.H. 13 (2750 Sibley Memorial Highway). The sign to be erected is currently located at 446 feet to the east upon an adjacent 67.1 acre parcel of land which comprises the balance of the Lost Spur Country Club and a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to replace the relocated off-premise sign with a new off-premise sign (on the 67.1 acre parcel of land) in a location which will result in two off-premise signs being located approximately 1,250 feet apart. To accommodate this condition, the approval of a Variance to allow two off-premise signs to have a separation of less than 1,500 feet will also be required. Planner Kirmis introduced this item. Mr. Kirmis highlighted the information presented in City staffs planning report dated May 20, 1999. Mr. Kirmis noted the background and history, the surrounding uses and the existing conditions of the subject property. The proposal impacts two Conditional Use Permits; the removal of one off-premise sign and the relocation of two existing off-premise signs. Mr. Kirmis further noted the requirement of a Variance if the two off-premise signs were to be approved since they were to be located closer than the 1,500 feet allowed by City Code. Of further concern, Mi. Kirmis noted that under the City Code, ofd premise signs can only be located upon properties zoned for business or industrial use and the applicant was seeking approval for property presently zoned public facility. Mike Cronin spoke on behalf of the applicant. He further noted, that Condition No. 6 of each of the permit recommendations should include the applicant's intent to remove the existing off-premise sign located on Highway 13 and Silver Bell Road. Mr. Cronin explained that the net result of its applications were to have two fewer sign faces and one less sign location. He noted that there does not exist any residential areas in the vicinity of the proposed signs and stated that though the parcel was large, it was not large enough to accommodate the 1,500 distance between signs. Mr. Cronin noted that few areas in the City would accommodate billboard signs due to City Code restrictions. Mr. Cronin stated that the non-economic aspect of the variance request results from the inability to go further west because of Highway 13 and the inability to go further east due to the Planned Unit Development for the property which precludes a sign. Chair Heyl closed the public hearing. In response to a question by Chair Heyl, Mr. Cronin explained the general industry standards for poster panels and bulletin signs used throughout the Metropolitan area. Chair Heyl reiterated the concerns with respect to the public facility zoning, the hardship for a variance and the amount of sign area being increased from 250 to 600+ square feet. Chair Heyl also reiterated the fact that the existing sign located at Highway 13 and Silver Bell Road would be eliminated by the year 2003 under the present Agreement between the City and the property owner, thereby netting a reduction of one sign within the City irrespective of the applicant's request. Chair Heyl 130 r - Page 5 1 May 25, 1999 ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION expressed an opinion that the hardship would appear to be the directive of the lack of ownership of additional property by the applicant. Members Segal and Steininger stated that they could support one larger sign on the property but did not believe there was an adequate basis for allowing a second sign on the property. Neither believed that the applicant had stated a reasonable hardship. Member Huusko stated that he did not believe the request was inappropriate. Discussion ensued with respect to the issuance of one permit for a larger sign. The applicant expressed the desire that if one sign was to be approved it would be the one to the most easterly portion of the site, the sign addressed as B in the staff report. Member Segal moved, Member Steininger seconded, a motion to recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit to erect a 672 square foot off-premise sign upon a 67.1 acre property (which comprises a portion of the Lost Spur Country Club) located south of I-494 and east of T.H. 13 (2750 Sibley Memorial Highway), subject to the following conditions: 1. The subject property shall be platted. 2. The Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded within 60 days of final plat approval. 3. The current Conditional Use Permit for the existing sign on the property shall be terminated upon the issuance of the new sign permit for the 672 square foot off-premise sign at the location shown on the site survey. 4. A sign permit shall be obtained from the City prior to installation of the sign. 5. The sign shall not exceed 40 feet in height. 6. The existing off-premise sign located at 4855 Robert Trail shall be removed prior to building permit issuance for the proposed off-premise sign. 7. The City Sign Code shall be amended to reflect the City-wide reduction in off- premise sign number, area and surfaces. 8. The existing off-premise sign shall be removed prior to the issuance of a building permit. All voted in favor, except Member Huusko who opposed. Member Huusko moved, Member Steininger seconded, a motion to recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to erect a 624 square foot off-premise sign upon a 1.2 acre property (which comprises a portion of the Lost Spur Country Club) located south of I-494 and east of T.H. 13 (2750 Sibley Memorial Highway, subject to the following conditions: /3/ Page 6 May 25, 1999 ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION L 1.

Member Huusko voted in favor and Chair Heyl, Members Anderson, Segal, Steininger and Tilley opposed. PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: May 20, 1999 CASE: 04-CU-06-04-99 APPLICANT: Eller Media Company HEARING DATE: May 25, 1999 PROPERTY OWNER: Osman Properties, Inc. PREPARED BY: Bob Kirmis REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit for an off-premise sign LOCATION: 2750 Sibley Memorial Highway(Lost Spur Golf Course) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Public Facilities ZONING: P, Public Facilities SUMMARY OF REQUEST Eller Media has requested a Conditional Use Permit to erect an off-premise sign upon a 1.2 acre property (which comprises a portion of the Lost Spur Country Club) located south of I-494 and east of T.H. 13 (2750 Sibley Memorial Highway). The sign to be erected is currently located 446 feet to the east upon an adjacent 67.1 acre parcel of land which comprises the balance of the Lost Spur Country Club (and is also owned by the applicant). As part of the request, the applicant has also requested a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to replace the relocated off-premise sign with a new off-premise sign (on the 67.1 acre parcel of land) in a location which will result in two off-premise signs being located approximately 1,250 feet apart. To accommodate this condition, the approval of a Variance to allow two off-premise signs to have a separation of less than 1,500 feet will also be required. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Conditional Use Permit City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.40, 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: 133 Planning Report—Eller Media CUP&Variance May 25, 1999 Page 2 A. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. B. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and City Code provisions. C. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area, nor substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. D. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal,water and sewer systems and schools. E. Will not involve uses, activities,processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be hazardous or detrimental to any persons,property or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. F. Will have vehicular ingress and egress to the property which does not create traffic congestion or interfere with traffic on surrounding public streets. G. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. 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. Variance: City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subdivision 3C states that the Council may grant a variance and impose conditions and safeguards therein if: 1. The Council shall determine that the special conditions applying to the structures or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property and do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located. 2. That the granting of the application is necessary for the applicant. 13Y Planning Report—Eller Media CUP&Variance May 25, 1999 Page 3 3. The granting of the proposed variance will not be contrary to the intent of this Chapter and the Comprehensive Guide Plan. 4. That granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant,but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. BACKGROUNDMISTORY The off-premise sign which currently exists upon the subject 67.1 acre property(Lost Spur Country Club)was approved by conditional use permit in the winter of 1985. The applicant wishes to remove the previously approved sign and erect a new sign on the 1.2 acre property 446 feet to the west of the present sign location. In addition, the applicant wishes to move their present 1,344 square foot sign located at T.H 13 and Silver Bell Road to the east side of the 67.1 acre property. It is further the intent of the applicant to remove their existing 500 square foot off- premise sign located at 4855 Robert Trail. The following is a summary of the applicant's proposal: Before: Location Area Faces Structures 494 W of Pilot Knob 756 s.f. 2 1 T.H. 13 at Silver Bell 1,344 s.f. 2 1 T.H 3 N of Cliff Road (4855 Robert Trail) 500 s.f. 2 1 Total 2,600 s.f. 6 3 After: Location Area Faces Structures 494 W of Pilot Knob 1,248 —west sign 2 1 1,344—east sign 2 1 T.H. 13 at Silver Bell none none none T.H 3 N of Cliff Road (4855 Robert none none none Trail) Total 2,592 1 4 2 As indicated above, the applicant's proposal would reduce the total number of off-premise signs in the City while the area of such signage would basically remain the same. Planning Report—Eller Media CUP&Variance May 25, 1999 Page 4 It should be noted that as part of the City's recent approval of the Silver Bell Commons development, an agreement was reached which specifies that the existing sign located at T.H.13 and Silver Bell Road must be removed no later than August, 2003. EXISTING CONDITIONS While it technically exists as a vacant, independent parcel of land, the 1.2 acre subject site practically is considered part of the Lost Spur Country Club. The adjacent 67.1 acre parcel is likewise occupied by the Lost Spur Golf Course and includes an existing off-premise sign measuring 756 square feet in area. Both parcels involved in the application are under common ownership and are part of the Lost Spur Country Club and are accessed from Highway 13 to the west. While the area in which signage is proposed contains a significant amount of vegetation, no tree removal has been proposed. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject properties: North - Interstate 494 South - Single Family Residential; zoned R-1, Residential Single Family and guided D-I, Single Family(0-3 units/acre) East - Undeveloped/Office; zoned PD, Planned Development and guided CPD, Commercial Planned Development West - Fort Snelling State Park EVALUATION OF REOUEST Compatibility with Surrounding Area- While the subject property is bounded on the south by single family homes, they are approximately one half mile from the off-premise sign locations and will not be visible to residents. Off-Premise Sign Requirements Use Acceptability Section 4.20 Subd. 4.0 of the City Code states that off-premise business signs may only be erected upon property zoned for business or industrial use. While the subject property is technically not zoned for"business"use,the golf club is operated as a commercial activity. A 43� Planning Report—Eller Media CUP&Variance May 25, 1999 Page 5 determination whether or not the applicant's request is consistent with the spirit and intent of the ordinance is considered a policy matter to be determined by City Officials. If it is determined that the intent of the code provision has not been fulfilled,the application must be denied. An alternative means of accommodating the proposal would be to re-guide and rezone the subject property for commercial or industrial use or amend the code to make an allowance for off-premise business signs within Public Facility zoning districts. CUP Conditions According to Section 4.20 Subd. 4.B.3 of the City Sign Code, the owner of an existing off- premise sign may construct a new off-premise sign pursuant to a conditional use permit issued in accordance with the provisions of chapter 11 of the City Code, and under the following criteria: 1. No sign will be permitted which increases the number of signs beyond the number of signs depicted in table A (attached as an exhibit), as amended from time to time. (Approval of the conditional use permit will reduce the total number of off-premise business signs within the Cityfrom 14 to 13) 2. No sign shall be permitted which increases the total square footage of all signs beyond the number of total square feet depicted in table A (which follows this section), as amended from time to time. (Provided the existing Robert Trail off-premise sign is removed, approval of the conditional use permit will slightly reduce the total area of off-premise business signs within the Cityfrom 7,79 7 to 7,789 square feet) 3. No sign shall be permitted which increases the total number of sign surfaces beyond the total number of sign surfaces depicted in table A(which follows this section), as amended from time to time. (Approval of the conditional use permit will reduce the total number of sign surfaces in the Cityfrom 27 to 25) 5. The maximum square footage of a sign shall be 250 square feet; however, the city may allow a sign in excess of 250 square feet upon (i) the reduction of the total number of signs, square footage or surface areas depicted in table A(attached as an exhibit), as amended from time to time, and(ii) amendment to said table A to reflect such reduction, and (iii) further, so long as the total square footage of all signs is not increased beyond the total of sign square footage depicted in said table A, at the time of application for a new sign. 132 Planning Report—Eller Media CUP&Variance May 25, 1999 Page 6 (The westerly sign is proposed to measure 624 square feet(13 x 48'9 in area while the easterly sign is to measure 672 square feet(14'x 48') in area. The City may allow the proposed sign areas as the total number of signs, areas and surfaces within the City is to be reduced. The acceptability of the proposed sign areas are considered City policy matters to be determined by City Officials) 6. No sign shall be located nearer to any other off-premises sign than 1,500 lineal feet on the same side of the street or 300 lineal feet on the opposite side of the street. (The applicant has requested a variance from the 1,500 foot spacing requirement. Specifically, a spacing of 1,250 feet has been requested. It is the responsibility of the applicant to demonstrate non-economic hardship to warrant variance approval) 7. No sign shall be located on a platted lot which contains a business sign. (Both parcels of land involved in the request are unplatted. A business sign for the Lost Spur Country Club currently exists upon the 67.1 acre parcel at the site entrance on Highway 13. It should be further noted that the platting of the property and the combination will be required as conditions of CUP approval which will result in this condition not being met) 8. No sign shall be located within 300 feet of any freestanding ground sign or pylon sign. (No freestanding ground sign or pylon sign will lie within 300 feet of the proposed off- premise signs) 9. No sign shall be located within 200 feet of any residentially zoned district. (The proposed off-premise signs will lie approximately one half mile from the nearest residential zone and satisfy this requirement) 10. No sign or any part thereof shall exceed 40 feet in height as measured from the land adjacent to the base of the sign. (Both off-premise signs are proposed to measure 40 feet in height) Setbacks - According to the City Code, no sign may be nearer than ten feet from any property line. With setbacks of 25 feet, setback requirements have been met. Platting -As noted previously,both the 1.2 acre and 67.1 acre parcels are unplatted. According to Section 13.02 Subd. 3 of the City Code, no building permits shall be issued for the erection of any structure upon lands that are not platted. As a condition of CUP approval, final platting of the property will be required. It should be noted that the requirement to combine and plat the property would result in both off-premise signs being on platted parcels and the coexistence of a 13 e Planning Report—Eller Media CUP&Variance May 25, 1999 Page 7 business sign and off-premise sign upon a single 68.3 acre parcel of land and is in conflict with condition#7 above. Therefore, should the City Council act favorably on this request, this conflict should be acknowledged. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Of primary question is whether or not the allowance of a new off-premise sign within a Public Facilities zoning district is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the City Code (the code allows off-premise signs only in business and industrial zoning districts). Such determination is vital to the consideration of the applicant's request. While the erection of a new off-premise sign in the area is considered compatible with surrounding uses, the acceptability of the proposed sign area and whether or not adequate hardship has been demonstrated to warrant variance approval is considered a policy matter to be determined by City Officials. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED A. To recommend approval a Conditional Use Permit to erect a 624 square foot off-premise sign upon a 1.2 acre property(which comprises a portion of the Lost Spur Country Club) located south of I-494 and east of T.H. 13 (2750 Sibley Memorial Highway). If approved, the following conditions should apply: 1. The subject property shall be platted. 2. The Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded within 60 days of final plat approval. 3. The City approve a variance to allow two off-premise signs which have a separation of 1250 feet. 4. A Sign permit shall be obtained from the City prior to installation of the signs. 5. The sign shall not exceed 40 feet in height 6. The existing off-premise sign located at 4855 Robert Trail shall be removed prior to building permit issuance for the proposed off-premise sign. 7. The City Sign Code shall be amended to reflect the city-wide reduction in off-premise sign number, area and surfaces. Planning Report—Eller Media CUP&Variance May 25, 1999 Page 8 B.

FINANCIAL OBLIGATION—04-CU-06-04-99— 10-00400-016-05 There are pay-off balances of special assessments totaling $-0- on the parcel for which the conditional use permit is requested. This estimated financial obligation is subject to change based upon the areas, dimensions and land uses for the parcel which the conditional use is requested. Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the uses proposed for the property, the following charges are proposed. The charges are computed using the City's existing fee schedule and for the connection and availability of the City's utility system.

As part of the rebuilding of this sign, the sign area of each face would be increased from 378 sf to 624 sf. In addition the present billboard on the now developed site located at Hwy 13 and Silver Bell will be relocated to this site, 1250 ft east of the rebuilt present billboard(see attached survey). The 500 sf two faced billboard now located at 4855 S Robert Trail will be removed from the City. The following table summarizes the proposal: Location Before After area faces structures area faces structures 494 W of Pilot Knob 756 2 1 2592 4 2 Hwy 13 at Silver Bell 1344 1344 2 1 none none none Hwy 3 north.of 32 500 2 1 none none none Total 2600 6 3 2592 4 2 Approval of this application will result in fewer billboard structures, billboard faces, and total billboard sign area in the City. Residential development has approached both the billboards selected for removal. On Hwy. 3, the billboard is now located just south of Red Pine, at the southern edge of new home development in the City. The site, while commercially used, is not commercially zoned. At Silver Bell, new development on the south side of Hwy 13 has brought homes across the road from the present billboard site. The new billboards would be located at the edge of a golf course, and would occupy a unique site. Rebuilding the present size to increase its sign area, and locating an additional sign at this site does not conflict with the findings of 11.40 Subd. 3. The billboards at this site by their design cannot impair any adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property, generate no trips, and therefore cannot increase congestion, are virtually fireproof and structurally sound, and have not diminished or impaired property values where they are located With the content conditions agreed to as part of the conditional use permit they will not disrupt or offend the traditional practices or cohesiveness of the community, or in this location, be contrary to the intent of the Code. The 250 ft variance requested for this proposal is appropriate and will be compatible at this location due to its special conditions and the provisions of the Code. The Eagan Code, by design, severely restricts the potential sites for billboards in the community. This site, with its surrounding open space is far from any residence or other commercial development. Any negative impacts of the present sign,and possible impacts of the new sign, will be contained on site. The granting of the variance is not simply a convenience to the applicant,but will allow this site to be used to further reduce the number of billboard structures, billboard sign faces and billboard sign area of the City and located on more sensitive sites by the"build down"method intended in the Code. The billboard at this site, and other billboards in Eagan, when properly located in compliance with the Code do not endanger the public health safety or general welfare of the neighborhood or City, and approval of this proposal would be harmonious with he objectives of the code by reducing the number of billboard structures, sign faces and sign area in the City. The billboards will be designed,constructed and operated compatibly with the character of the vicinity,and have not diminished the property values in the neighborhood. The billboards will require no public facilities or services, and do not create any noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. They have in place the ingress and egress needed to construct the signs and periodically change their faces,and will have no impact on any features of importance.

PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: May 20, 1999 CASE: 3 1-RZ-06-04-99 APPLICANT: Cedar Ridge Church HEARING DATE: May 25, 1999 PROPERTY OWNER: Cedar Ridge Church PREPARED BY: Pamela Dudziak REQUEST: Planned Development Amendment LOCATION: 2024 Rahn Way COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: PF, Public Facilities ZONING: PD, Planned.Development SUMMARY OF REQUEST Cedar Ridge Church is requesting a Planned Development Amendment to establish a daycare within the existing church building and add an outdoor playground on property located at 2024 Rahn Way, legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Rahn Ridge, in the NW 1/4 of Section 31. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subdivision 5 states, in part 1. The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the boundaries of any district or changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. 2. The Council shall not rezone any land in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to this chapter without first having referred it to the planning commission for it's consideration and recommendation. BACKGROUNDIHISTORY The Rahn Ridge subdivision was platted in 1986 and Cedar Ridge Church was constructed in 1987. The vacant lot to the east recently received city approval for development of a hotel. With development of the hotel, a berm will be added to the south end of the church property to provide a buffer for the residences to the south. Planning Report - Galaxie Partnership, LLC September 22, 1998 Page 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The north half of the six-acre site is developed with an existing 15,550 square foot church building and parking lot. The southern portion of the site is open and flat. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Rahncliff Learning Center; zoned PD (Planned Development); guided CPD (Commercial Planned Development) South - Residential/Office; zoned PD (Planned Development); guided D-II (Mixed Residential 0-6 units per acre) East - Hotel (under construction) and Office; zoned PD (Planned Development); guided LB (Limited Business) West - Driver Exam Building; zoned P (Public Facilities); guided LB (Limited Business) EVALUATION OF REQUEST Description of Proposal The proposed daycare initially would utilize three existing classroom spaces within the building, with the addition of two more classrooms in the future. Building space devoted to the daycare is about 1,400 square feet to start, and with future expansion about 2,180. The outside playground is proposed to be located east of the building and behind the parking lot. The church anticipates that the daycare will serve about 35 preschoolers initially, with expansion potential for up to 65 children. Licenses and Permits A daycare facility serving this many children must be licensed by the State. The applicant is responsible for obtaining and maintaining the necessary license to operate the facility. Proof of the license must be furnished to the city before the Planned Development Agreement will be released for recording. It is the applicant's responsibility to obtain any building permits that may be required for interior remodeling. Hours of Qperation/Traffic The day care is proposed to operate weekdays between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. With 65 children, the applicant indicated they expect about 120 additional vehicle trips per day, but the ITE (Institute of Traffic Engineers) Manual estimates are much higher, about 292 vehicle trips per day. The actual traffic will probably be somewhere in between. This level of traffic can be handled on the existing streets. Since the daycare will operate during the week, it will not conflict with other church activities and no additional parking is necessary. Planning Report - Galaxie Partnership, LLC September 22, 1998 Page 3 Building Modifications/Playground Some interior remodeling of existing rooms will be needed. No exterior changes to the existing building are planned. The playground is proposed to be located off the east end of the building and is proposed to be fenced. The fence should not exceed six feet in height. Timing The church hopes to open the daycare in mid-June, and to add the playground by September, 1999. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Cedar Ridge Church is proposing to establish a daycare in the existing church building. Site modifications include interior remodeling and the addition of an outside playground. A State license is required to operate the daycare. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Planned Development Amendment for Cedar Ridge Church to allow a day care center and an outdoor playground. If approved, the following conditions should apply: 1. An Amendment to the Planned Development shall be executed and recorded against the property before the daycare center opens. 2. The applicant is responsible for obtaining and maintaining the required state daycare license. Proof of issuance of the license must be submitted to the City prior to release of the Planned Development Amendment Agreement for recording. •c�'r_n [��?�i Gii�r■ ��n i 1 D � � '.. v � LA P wvrf �.♦�`�� lIII►jSAS it �► ��n .i AlBEE/ �� '� �� .�. in. p©Es.� ■ 1 tea SOV �/ I L: JKL � e o• � � oil , , , Development/Developer. .

Classrooms N-6 and N-7 add a total of 778 square feet of classroom space to our request.The location of these classrooms is shown on the enclosed page. Written narrative addressing Questions that include classrooms N-1. N-2, N-3, N-6, N-7: The impact of the planned development amendment on the surrounding property and land uses is none. No exterior changes to our building are planned, except to add a fenced playground area by the Summer of 1999. The impact of the planned development amendment on our own property is practically none.We plan to install outside playground equipment that is ASTM(American Society for Testing and Materials) and ADA(Americans With Disabilities Act) compliant in the Summer of 1999. The impact of the planned development amendment on City services such as sewer, water, storm water run-off and roads:—regarding sewer and water we will have a maximum of 65 pre-schoolers between the hours of 6:00 am and 6:00 pm during weekdays. There is no effect on storm water run- off. Area roads will have up to about 60 trips in the am and 60 trips in the pm along Rahn Way, the road that accesses our property. We believe the requested land use proposal by this amendment results in a better use of our facility because presently the rooms remain empty during the week. Also our church mission to reach out to families with the Good News will be more effectively realized.
