Egan noted that he talked to Terry Forboi ,&, representing Luria en Brothers, and the park issue was the
only issue remaining to be resolved.
Councilmember Wachter asked for:*A-* tglagtioAj6t1he various maps that the City Council
received. Director of Parks and Recreation Vraa pxpxiitl''an explanation on the open space portion of the
proposed park dedication and stated that there is the possibility that the trail would be flooded at the 100-
year flood level. Mayor Egan questioned if that same situation exists elsewhere. Vraa stated that this
situation is not unusual, but staff wanted to ensure the Council and neighborhood understood the
potential for this to occur. Councilmemb@;. Wachter said that he, is concerned with preserving the water
and he further said this situation is not iifit 1:43:a»iitCtyp table.
Councilmember Masin stated that this neigiiiiorhoocf:}fii:§ been looking for a suitable park to serve
the area. She added that the Council should make:-Attre that Oi9::park will have the proper amenities to
serve this large area.
Vraa reviewed three possible alt6rn4tives for ch v' pment of the park. He said alternative 1 (the
developer's plan) will result in a loss of the majority of the north/south tree line on the existing park
property and will not meet the City's standards for a neighborhood park
Vraa further explained that alternative 3 (attachment 4) would involve directing the plat to be
redrawn giving up the north portion of ihte:PArk to the developer for use as residential or directing the
acquisition of additional land (essentially:'6";).::He said that there is a resident who is concerned
about the proximity of the parking lot to their'said that alternative 3 would allow the
parking lot to be moved further away from thiTesident:-'EIe noted that this alternative would result in the
loss of five lots and there is some resistance bg the deye . pit . Q:either make that a part of the dedication
or sell the land to the City as land acquisition:.:.Re:*.tifi4.i fiat the configuration of the park dedication
needs to allow for useable space rather 0.vair:Si�i�ly meeting the acreage requirement. He added that
there is not a lot of use for the park land�iip 'to the north because of its proximity to Cliff Road. He said
that active elements of the park are typically located away from busy roads.
Vraa explained that alternative 2 (attachment 5) will result in a 30% tree loss of the tree line and
the acreage will still not meet City standards for a neighborhood park. He further explained that the
design is still congested and raises cone:�or-..-. xrr; iai Tc tiler conflicts.
Vraa stated that the developer's responsibWty is to provide a land dedication, but he added that it
is his interpretation that the City does not need to ai�eept landifiat is not useable. He further stated that
the City has previously determined that neighborApt d parks.-hall be between 12 and 18 acres in size and
that ten acres is the minimum acreage for a night o hood pa&:
Councilmember Awada asked if a plan has been drawn showing a cul-de-sac to the north. Vraa
indicated that was attempted early in the design stage. Councilmember Wachter asked if the cul-de-sac
would have access to Cliff Road. Director of Public Works Colbert explained that the curb cut to Cliff
Road would have to be removed with the development of tl*.xoperty and he said the County will not
allow an additional entrance.
Terry Forbord, representing LtiiBi((stale
.VA to:,that a great deal of focus has been given to
the park. He added that many concessioris'have%beeii iriacleTiy Lundgren Brothers to all of the requests
by the City. He further added that alternative 3 (attachmerit:4):is not economically feasible unless a
density transfer, perhaps townhomes, is allowed which wo4W'::increase the number of units per acres.
He noted that the memo from Director of Parks and Recreation Vraa is well-written and objective. He
said that he was surprised to learn that their company is expected to grade the park land. He stated that
alternatives 1 and 2 are feasible but not alternative 3. He further stated that the residents want a center
space open to the public with trail access in addition to the active area. He noted that Lundgren has
provided this balance. He referred to the cul-de-sac design mentioned by Councilmember Awada and
EAGAN CI'T'Y COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; DECEMBER 3,1997
PAGE 6
stated that this concept has been considered by their company; ::ale discussed the cost of decreasing the
subdivision by five lots and the cost of coti�ucting a cul-&-oo ;. He added that they have met the park
dedication requirement and said that the pityof the re53its are happy with their design and they
will not be able to please everyone.
Councilmember Masin asked if there is any other land in the area that could be used for an active
park. Vraa indicated there is additional area but it would not be suitable for park land. Councilmember
Masin stated that she is not willing to give up the active park. She asked if there were other concessions
the City could make in order for the develapntetd-t4.4i:4r•. Councilmember Awada asked what
concessions the developer has made. Di1 tE r'•:o :15ti# Ktb Kolbert stated that the installation of the
additional sidewalk and trailway system exceeds iat is typ1y installed by other developments. He
noted that the City has also granted concessions iri ttillector riisiii classification and well site location.
Councilmember Awada stated th4[t.tliis:# : as be8ia guided as D-1 and townhomes cannot be
built on this parcel of land. Mayor Egan S d:?t# at'cieitis;ty:tr4 9fer is not a feasible alternative. Vraa
explained the anticipation was that there would be anatfit a park dedication of approximately seven
acres and, combined with the other four acres, would result in an 11 acre park. He said that because the
City is taking some of the central open space as credit toward the required dedication the active space is
reduced. He further said there has never been an approved master plan for this park.
Councilmember Awada asked W.ftq pays for the costs of the streets in a new development if part
of the land has been dedicated to the Cft) :4:th City.ow'ns the land that fronts the street. Director of
Public Works Colbert explained that if a pre-ezisiffig:�a k, wy:?Ls classified as a neighborhood park and a
new development required the installation of treets and: : t@i.4es adjacent to the park the costs would be
spread over the neighborhood benefiting frodi-*.& park-.:: esti t"ed that the developer would finance
100 of the cost. He further stated that if the:ic.is:classified as a community park and serves a greater
service area of the community the City *4d1 ,h ed to finance its proportionate share of the frontage to
the public improvements being installed.
Councilmember Masin moved to approve alternative 3 (attachment 4). City Attorney .Sheldon
explained that the City Council has the ability to approve any part or all of the proposed preliminary plat
or can deny preliminary subdivision and order thepreparation of findings of fact. He said that the
Council is required to take action on thgeiie end of December. Mr. Forbord asked if
the Council can approve a preliminary'plat'aiid�'aftdcNxon' itions. City Attorney Sheldon stated that state
law allows that to occur in a general sense.
Councilmember Awada said that this wilt; a nice &elopment, but she stated that it is
important that there is a useable park configuration." She ad i Cl that it is not the Council's goal to create a
financial hardship for the developer but that the developer's economics cannot be the only consideration.
She further added that there are ways to develop a park with the active elements and limited tree loss.
She said she was willing to approve the entire plat except for the park section. She stated that the north
part of the park is not needed. City Attorney Sheldon stated that the Council's authority to acquire park
land comes from the Subdivision Ordinance. He said that ctt�Ce the property is subdivided without
acquiring the park land the City reduces its ability to acquirk;t:
Mr. Forbord asked if the City agfor park purposes from the developer
would it be at fair market value. Mayor Egan stateat tlie'City will attempt to acquire the necessary
land for park purposes as a dedication from the developer,bttt if it is not possible to extract the land at no
cost then the City will need to pay something for it. He said:iie was not sure if acquisition would be at
market value, but he added that the acquisition would be negotiated.
Councilmember Wachter asked if more lots could be built close to Cliff Road, Councilmember
Awada suggested that staff be directed to make decisions regarding park boundaries, within reason of lot
lines, creating buildable lots. Mr. Forbord requested that the Council approve the application for 127 lots

in the configuration suggested by Counc piember Awada at " evening's meeting. City Attorney
Sheldon summarized the representative's:position stating thi i:he was asking the Council to approve a
modification to the plat which the Council d::dismssed.: -R, :said that he assumed the representative
endorses and consents to the revision to the p;::: pprloi'il stated that if the Council supported this
modification he would prefer they vote on it toriigltt and he indicated that he did consent with the
revision.
Mayor Egan said that the park boundaries are somewhat fluid and he asked the City Attorney if
he was comfortable with the Council app'P-%* ie.a p}ic*#m: City Attorney Sheldon stated he was
comfortable with the Council approving*4a id. he was uncomfortable with the consent
of the applicant. He added that he does not want ;aii A'krgumepo surface regarding the Council
approving something that was not put forth by the.developer but rather something that the developer
only wanted a decision on in order to appeal. He: ted to;ure that the developer was requesting the
City Council approve this plat, containi g ftj�i"attpR ''to exceed 127 lots.
Mr. Forbord stated that he had a plan showing a similar modified configuration. He summarized
the Council's position as being in favor of alternative 3 (attachment 4), which would be a combination of
directing the plat to be redrawn giving up the north portion of the park to the developer for use as
residential and purchasing additional lots if necessary. Mayor Egan stated that the Council would still
need to make a decision on how the additional land would be acquired. Councilmember Blomquist
stated that the developer had indicated :t: iNoitkl.not be cost-effective to install a cul-de-sac and she asked
for clarification from the developer on his'posi'stated that it is not economically feasible
to install the cul-de-sac, but he said that if this -J5 ffi' 04ciit t:the Council plans to take in two weeks he
would prefer the action tonight.
Councilmember Awada asked ha :t# :4�bdified plan compared to the park plan drawn on
attachment 4. Vraa indicated the revises-plaii'was very close to the park plan identified in attachment 4.
Councilmember Awada suggested the plat be approved, as modified by the developer, subject to the

forth the plat and offers the park dedication. Mayor Egan stated that if the developer offers this plan to
the Council as a preliminary plat and it turns out to be financially unfeasible he can decide not to develop
the property.
Mr. Forbord requested the action be continued &fo the December 16,1997 City Council meeting.

Heide Kolhoff, 4880 Dodd Road, stai*&-* iQy+;iiaVt'�;a';*problem with the agreement because it
waives their right to appeal the improvement cosf'aiid'they do not want to waive this right. She said that
at the October 21 City Council meeting it was stated that if they were required to hook up at that time
they would have been able to appeal the assessment cost. Councilmember Awada stated that if they were
to subdivide the property they would probably have to pay the full assessment amount and would not be
granted an appeal. Ms. Kolhoff asked if. :ivbe-We-to•fetain their right to appeal the assessment
or pay half the cost if they choose to conttie :tes. f -W- R•: :— "ier than subdivide the property.

Councilmember Blomquist mentioned that if theill failedfibey would have to connect across a
potentially buildable lot to the front of their property. She said this would affect their land and
questioned the value to them.
Mayor Egan stated that it was ni it ftie'iiitent o : h. —'-fty Council to require the Kolhoffs to waive
their right to contest benefit. He said he was willing to waive any rights to contest benefit at the time of
development but not necessarily at the time of connection, especially if there was an emergency
requirement for the hook up. Councilmember Awada opined that it would be acceptable for the
agreement to state that they will agree to waive their right to appeal at the time of development but not
waive their right if they have to connect -and do not develop the property.
Councilmember Awada moved, Cir i iRIN r. Wachter seconded a motion to approve an
agreement with David and Heide Kolhoff, 4880 l5•o'd-a${f; to ith the stipulation that they waive their
right to appeal if they develop the property a*N retain the ir. righ. t to appeal if they connect but do not
develop the property, and authorize the Mayor On --C-1* rk to execute all related documents. Aye: 5
Nay: 0
Director of Public Works Colbert asked how the connection charge should be determined if the
Kolhoffs decide to hook up without developing their property. City Attorney Sheldon stated that because
of the 30 -year limitation the assessment agreement Has changed to a payment agreement and there is no
mechanism to contest. He added that this could be built into a recorded agreement against the land.
Mayor Egan asked if City AttoMey:'�,-.-,- s�gjj: felt;tt i ??O table about the City's ability to collect any
costs in the event of connection by the Kolhoffs prior, to development. City Attorney Sheldon stated that
the Kolhoffs will have to come to the City at the time of hool� ap and the Council will have to determine
the cost at that time.
Councilmember Blomquist said she hopes the KolhdWwill not need to hook up to the Hall Street
utilities. Director of Public Works Colbert suggested that the agreement should state that if the Kolhoffs
need to connect they will pay a one lot equivalent at the prevailing rates of a comparable single family lot
at that time.
Councilmember Awada amended her motion, CouijoCi# member Wachter concurred with the
amendment to approve an agreement with David and Heide'kolhoff, 4880 Dodd Road, stating that if the
property owner connects to utilities prigr: tti dev61*'.Mb*:b;ffihe property they agree to pay a one lot

REZONING & VARIANCES - WALTER V. NELSON
City Administrator Hedges provided an acveiview oii:d is item. Senior Planner Ridley gave a
staff report. Kristen Nelson, representing Walter 1�T'Q�son, stater# this lot is not desirable as a single family
lot. She stated that when Mr. Nelson purchased the lot it was advertised that the lot had access to Pilot
Knob Road and that there were utilities to the property. She said they realized a couple of weeks ago that
there was access onto Cleome Lane but there is no official easement off that property. She further said
this property is somewhat landlocked. She added that there is a gravel driveway on the property and the
County provided a curb cut into the driveway. She stated tttaithe utilities are located across the street
from Pilot Knob Road. She further stated that the applicant oi3ms Lot 22 and noted that an easement
could be granted from that property.
Councilmember Wachter asked if'tfie Coiirity HigliWdy Department will allow access to Pilot
Knob Road. Director of Public Works Colbert said he was "re if there was a cross -easement formally
dedicated over Lot 22. Ms. Nelson said there is no official ea�ment on Lot 22. City Attorney Sheldon
stated that a property owner cannot grant an easement to themselves. Director of Public Works Colbert
said he is concerned about two dwelling units taking direct access onto Pilot Knob Road. He added there
is an opportunity to provide a cross -easement due to common ownership between Lots 22 and 23 and
driveway access onto a cul-de-sac street for a residential property. Ms. Nelson indicated that the
difficulty associated with that option is that with the minimum square footage of Lot 22 providing an

easement may change the building layoa."She noted that the ofily place to put the easement would be
along Lot 22 and it would be difficult to iiiitall a driveway foitbt 23 and would require the house to be
located very close to Pilot Knob Road.
Councilmember Awada stated that �Wgge's' tycif f Fthis is a hardship. She added that it would
be more acceptable if the applicant were to requesi a"setback variance to allow for a driveway easement.
She further added that a single family house could be constructed on this lot. She stated that she would

the application would involve spot zoning and would be contrary to the development scheme and intent

Agenda Information Memo
December 16, 1997 Eagan City Council Meeting
DEPARTMENT HEAD BUSINESS
A. AUTHORIZATION to proceed with RFP for swimming pool
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To Approve the Request for Proposal seeking Design Consulting Services related
to an Aquatic Facility and to appoint Council Member(s) to an interview selection
team.
FACTS:
■ With the assistance of Ingraham and Voss Consulting, the City recently
completed a space study analysis of the Municipal Center Campus to
determine the availability of land for the development of an aquatic facility.
• The Council recently conducted a workshop session with Mr. Chris Geers of
the City of St. Louis Park regarding the operation of their pool and the
elements that were successful for their facility.
• St. Louis Park's pool operation reflected income of $175,000 in excess of their
operational expenses.
• The City of Eagan, with a much younger and larger population than St. Louis
Park, is likely to support pool attendance equal to or greater than St. Louis
Park.
A preliminary (schematic) plan and budget for an aquatic facility similar to St.
Louis Park's has not yet been completed. Such a plan would be necessary for
public comment and budgeting purposes.
City staff has prepared a preliminary time line with milestone dates in order
for the pool to become operational by June 1, 1999.
• The timeline reflects the hiring of a consulting firm by the first week in
January with a preliminary plan completed by March 1, 1998.
• Staff has prepared a Request for Proposal seeking design consulting services
which has been sent to six firms. Their responses are due December 29, 1997.
COMMENTS:
A preliminary architectural program is currently being drafted by various "focus
teams" consisting of City staff members. The Consulting team, once selected, will
complete the process for Council approval before proceeding with any
preliminary planning.
Staff is aware that residents to the east of the intended pool site are concerned
with the impacts of the facility to their neighborhood. A program statement
included in the design program is being drafted to reflect the following: "The
design of the pool shall be sensitive in design and layout to the residential
neighborhood to the east. The design should also seek to mitigate impacts by
topographic change and landscaping."
After receipt of RFPs, interviews with the finalists are scheduled for Tuesday,
January 6, 1998. City Administrator Hedges, Director of Park and Recreation
Vraa and City Engineer Matthys are intending to be on the inten7iew team.

CITY OF EAGAN, MINNESOTA
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
FOR DESIGN SERVICES
RELATED TO A FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER
OVERVIEW
The City of Eagan, Minnesota is requesting proposals from qualified aquatic planners to provide
consulting services leading to the design and construction of an outdoor family Aquatic Center. The
City seeks to construct an aquatic center that provides for a zero depth entry pool, mechanical space,
admissions and administrative area, and concession on the City's Municipal Center Campus. The
pool is to be fully operational by June 1, 1999. Funding for the project has been identified from the
City's Community Investment Fund.
COMMUNITY PROFILE
The City of Eagan is the largest city in Dakota County with a 1997 estimated population of 60,000
people. The City is considered the southeast anchor to the Twin Cities Metropolitan area. Major
freeways provide regional vehicular access to the city.
Eagan currently is comprised of 23,272 households with an average of 2.72 persons per household.
The median income according to the 1990 census is $46,600 per overall households; $51,000 per
family households.
The most recent profile of Eagan's population shows that 31 % are children under 18, 44% are ages
25-44, and persons over age 65 are 2%. Recent School District 196 K-12 enrollment projections for
the City of Eagan suggest increases of students in grades K-5 through the year 2002 followed by a
slow decline; projected to the year 2010. Grades 6-8 will continue to increase in student numbers
through the year 2007. High school age students are projected to increase in numbers through 2010.
The City of Eagan can be characterized as a young, affluent municipality that has yet to reach total
build out. School District projections suggest that the proportions of the population in the various age
groups will remain fairly constant in the foreseeable future.
HISTORY OF PROJECT
In the spring of 1989, the City conducted a special referendum for a community center facility that
included an indoor ice arena, community rooms, gymnasium and indoor leisure pool. That
referendum failed, as did a second referendum two years later that provided for an ice arena and
outdoor pool.
Residents who strongly maintained an interest in an ice arena continued to pursue the issue and
mounted a strong campaign with the City Council. As a result, the City Council, on a split vote,
agreed to construct a simple building using $1.4 million from the Community Investment Fund
coupled with the commitment from the community organization to raise $600,000 in cash, pledges,
and donated equipment or work for the project. The Civic Arena, which was politically sensitive in
the community broke ground in April, 1995 and opened on October 1, 1995. As part of the motion to
approve the arena project, staff was directed to have a child's wading pool built. The wading pool
opened in 1996. Despite the concerns that the arena could be a strain on the General Fund and raise
taxes, it finished it's first 15 months with a cash reserve in excess of $45,000. Because of the huge
demand for ice time, and buoyed by the success of the arena, the Hockey Association provided funds
to develop a preliminary concept plan for a second ice sheet to be constructed adjacent to the existing
facility. With $250,000 in grant funds and a ten-year pledge by the association, the City will loan the
balance needed to construct the project. Income generated from the arena is expected to repay the
borrowed funds from the City. The project is currently being bid and is expected to open October 1,
1998.
3
The small wading pool, which features water sprays, water curtains and water spouts also proved to
be an overnvhelming success, generating numerous calls for the City to build a pool for the residents.
In response to those requests and the demand for a second ice sheet, the Council directed a study to
ascertain if sufficient space remained on the Municipal Center Campus to construct a swimming pool.
The result of that study indicated that there was sufficient space and with additional information about
the success of other aquatic facilities in the region, staff was asked to prepare a time line to construct
an aquatics facility. On November 23, 1997 the Council directed staff to have a pool built and
operational by June 1, 1999 with project costs to be covered from the Community Investment Fund.
Staff has suggested that the project will cost approximately $4.5million. There have been no public
hearings on this project to date, however meetings are to be held in March. The Council expects that
the income generated over and above the cost of operation will be returned to the Community
Investment Fund, although there is the realization that the pool will not be able to pay back principal
and interest.
SITE INFORMATION AND RELEVANT DATA
Attached to the Request for Proposal is information about the site. Location map, quarter section and
an attachment prepared by the site consultant shows the location of the swimming pool, parking and
second sheet of ice. Also attached is a GIS map with campus buildings and topography.
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM & WORK PRODUCT FOR THE CONSULTANT
The City Council has deferred developing a final program for this facility until a consultant is able to
assist them. Key elements identified at this time are:
1. A pool with zero depth entry of not less then 20,000 square feet of water surface.

118 Economic Recovery Grant Fund
This fund opened in 1995 with a grant from the State to establish a revolving loan fund for local businesses for the purpose of
economic development. Loan recipients must meet certain requirements as set forth by the State for this program. A ten-year
$250,000 loan was made with State funds to an Eagan business in 1995 to initiate the program. The loan was paid in full in
1996. Under the terms of the agreement with the State, $100,000 in principal plus interest collected to the point of payoff, will
remain in the fund for loans to other qualifying businesses. The balance of the principal was returned to the State.

G. AUTHORIZATION, AIRLINER & SPRUCE MOTEL PROPERTIES.
2788 AND 2794 HIGHWAY 55, PREPARATION OF AGREEMENT
FOR OWNERS CONSENT TO DEMOLISH AND
PREPARATION OF APPRAISAL
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To authorize staff and legal counsel to prepare an agreement for the owners' consent to demolish
the Airliner and Spruce Motel properties located at 2788 and 2794 Highway 55 and to prepare an
appraisal of value.
FACTS:
♦ The Airliner and Spruce Motels have been closed since the early 1990's. In the time since, they
have received minimum maintenance and the structures are currently in very poor condition.
♦ In consideration of the property owners, Bill and Ann Kor, the City has withheld any action to
require removal of the properties pending a possible application for redevelopment at the site.
Most recently, the City is facilitating meetings between property owners in the area to
determine whether an overall redevelopment plan can be developed.
♦ At the same time, the City has acquired the residential properties surrounding the Airliner and
Spruce as part of the activity of the Highway 55 redevelopment tax increment district.
♦ The property owners have been informed that the City is no longer able to wait for
redevelopment to occur to bring about the removal of the properties and has requested that the
owners demolish them at the earliest opportunity.
♦ The owners have requested that the City remove the structures and assess the cost to the
property. A provision exists within Minnesota Statute 463.151 for the City to perform these
activities and charge in this manner provided that written consent is received from the owners.
The owners' representatives have requested that the City prepare such an agreement.
♦ At the same time, staff is requesting authorization to prepare an appraisal of the property to
further facilitate redevelopment discussions with all owners in the area.
t In addition to the commercial demolition of the site, the owner is proposing to permit the City's
Police and Fire Departments to use the facilities for training purposes prior to the removal. In
addition to the benefit to the City, there is a possible tax benefit for the owners from such a
contribution.

CIVIL JUSTICE COALITION
Worldng to reform Minnesota's legal system
Fact Sheet
Joint and Several Liability
Issue Overview
Joint and several liability is the rule of law that governs which defendants in a lawsuit
may be held responsible for any financial damages awarded by a court. The doctrine holds that
when a party is injured, each of the defendants that bears some responsibility for the injury may
be held financially responsible for all of the injured party's damages. Joint and several liability is
often referred to as the "deep pocket rule." Plaintiffs tend to include in lawsuits as many
defendants as possible in hopes that one of these "deep pocket" defendants will be held at least
partly responsible and forced to pay all of the damages.
Current Minnesota law says that any party found 16 percent or more at fault for an injury
can be required to pay up to 100 percent of any court award if other defendants cannot afford to
pay it. An individual or organization found 15 percent or less at fault still can be required to pay
up to four times that amount, if other defendants cannot afford to pay it. So, a defendant held 10
percent responsible may be forced to pay 40 percent of a damage award.
Problem: Minnesota's joint and several liability law expands litigation and is
unfair
As applied in Minnesota, the doctrine of joint and several liability encourages plaintiffs
and their lawyers to sue any person or organization even remotely connected with the injury. The
number of defendants in lawsuits grows as attorneys search for a "deep pocket." Individuals or
organizations that have minor exposure in an incident can end up paying a large share of the
damage award.
Joint and several liability has several negative effects:
It encourages plaintiffs, even those who may be significantly responsible
for their own injuries, to seek out as many parties to blame as possible. This search
for defendants drags out litigation and wastes time in our already stressed court
system.
It is unfair to ask a party who is only slightly responsible for an incident to pay most
or all of the damage award. Even in cases in which the defendant is completely
cleared of responsibility, defendants still must pay their own legal fees once they are
dragged into a case. They also have lost the time needed to defend the claim.

us
Fear of a being included in a lawsuit because of joint and several liability has
dramatically altered the behavior of many organizations, especially schools, non-
profit organizations, governmental units and small businesses that fear financial ruin
with a single lawsuit. Many beneficial programs have been discontinued or never
started because of fear of liability. This fear pervades our society. According to a
recent survey conducted by the Coalition of Minnesota Businesses, seventy-three
percent of Minnesotans said they were concerned they might be sued.
Because of these problems, 34 states have changed their joint and several liability laws in
the past 10 years. Currently, 36 states either have no joint and several liability, have restricted
the doctrine to only certain types of cases or have limited full responsibility to parties who are at
least 51 percent responsible for the injury. Minnesota has one of the country's most unfair joint
and several liability statutes.
CK's solution: Raise joint and several liability threshold to 51%
Fairness requires that Minnesota's joint and several liability statute be changed. The
Minnesota Civil Justice Coalition proposes that the threshold for full liability be raised from 16
percent to 51 percent. Defendants found less than 50 percent responsible for an injury would pay
damages only equal to their share of the blame. So a defendant found 10 percent responsible
would pay no more than 10 percent of the award. This is fair.
This will remove the inequity of the 16 percent rule. It also will end the search for "deep
pockets" by discouraging plaintiffs from adding defendants with only a marginal connection to
the case. Without the incentive to add defendants, plaintiffs also may scrutinize their cases more
carefully to determine whether the claim is legitimate. The overall effect on the court system -
and the public's confidence in the courts - will be positive.

CIVIL JUSTICE COALITION
Woridng to reform Minnesota's legal system
Frequently Asked Questions
Joint and Several Liability Reform
The Minnesota Civil Justice Coalition is an organization of associations,
businesses, health care interests, local governments and non -profits dedicated to
improving the civil justice system in Minnesota. The coalition supports reasonable and
fair reforms that will discourage frivolous lawsuits and maintain the public's confidence
in the civil justice system. One of the crucial reforms needed in Minnesota is to change
the state's joint and several liability law. This law currently allows defendants who are
ruled more than 15 percent responsible for an injury to be forced to pay 100 percent of
the damages if other defendants cannot afford to pay.
Question: What does the term joint and several liability mean?
Answer: Joint and several liability is the legal doctrine that all parties who cause some
damage to an injured party each individually bears potential financial responsibility for
all of the injured party's damages. It is sometimes called the "deep pocket" rule because
parties with financial resources are often included in a lawsuit in hopes that they will be
found slightly responsible and someone will pay the entire judgement.
Question: What's wrong with the way Minnesota treats joint and several
liability?
Answer: Minnesota requires parties who are barely responsible for an incident to pay 100
percent of the damages. Minnesota courts ask juries or judges to decide how responsible
for an incident different parties are - usually assigning a percentage of fault. Under
Minnesota law, a party who is more than 15 percent responsible for an injury can be held
100 percent responsible for the damages, if the other parties involved cannot pay. This is
unfair. We believe a party should be held at least 51 percent responsible for an injury
before being required to pay 100 percent of the damages. Currently, if a party is found
less than 15 percent responsible, they might have to pay up to four times that amount of
the damages. So a party could be 10 percent responsible for an incident and be required
to pay 40 percent of the damages.
Question: Explain how joint and several liability would work in a real
case?
Answer: To find a "deep pocket," plaintiffs sue as many people as possible. Let's say
someone has been injured using a lawn mower. The injury might be partly their own
fault, or it might be a problem with the mower. But, let's say the mower was
manufactured by a small company that went out of business. So, the person who has
been injured cannot collect from the manufacturer. Instead, the injured party might sue
4050 IDS Center - Minneapolis, MN 55402 - ph (612) 370-0840 - fax (612) 3343086
_S0
the hardware store that sold the lawn mower. Or he might sue the different companies
that manufactured the parts for the mower. The plaintiff is suing all of these people in
order to establish that some of them are at least partly at fault for the accident. Their
hope is that they will find a "deep pocket" or collect a large settlement.
Question: What's wrong with Minnesota's joint and several statute?
Answer: Plenty. First, it is unfair on the face of it. A party with a small share of the
fault pays all the damages. Second, the drive to sue as many parties as possible results in
an enormous waste of time and resources, as all sorts of marginally involved parties must
defend themselves in lawsuits. For example, a Minnesota company that was not
involved at all in building a plant - although they did make a bid on the project - was
sued for an injury that occurred at the plant. It took six months and thousands of dollars
of legal fees to get them dismissed from the suit.
Question: Does the threat of these suits affect how businesses and other
entities behave?
Answer: Yes, in many ways. Many organizations will settle a case out of court just to
end it. The claim may be completely groundless, but it saves time and money to simply
pay off the plaintiff. Of course, that encourages plaintiffs to sue more and we've created
a class of professional plaintiffs who go around suing companies and organizations just to
collect settlements. Another unintended effect of joint and several liability is that many
organizations, especially non -profits, schools and small businesses, fear being sued so
much that they have discontinued beneficial programs simply to avoid the liability. The
law is unfair and it's not good for our society.
Question: What do you propose instead?
Answer: The Civil Justice Coalition has proposed that Minnesota raise the threshold for
100 percent responsibility from over 15 percent to 51 percent. under this proposal, a
defendant must be at least 51 percent responsible to be required to pay 100 percent of the
damages. If a defendant is found less than 50 percent responsible they could be held
responsible for the damages at a level equal to their responsibility for the incident. So, in
the example we used earlier, the hardware store could be asked to pay 20 percent of the
damages but no more. That is fair.
Question: How do other states handle joint and several liability? Has
it caused these same problems elsewhere?
Answer: Yes, it has. That's why 34 states have changed their joint and several liability
laws in the past 10 years. Minnesota has one of the most lenient joint and several liability
laws in the country. It's time to change it.

Woridng to reform Minnesota's legal system
Question: What are the Civil Justice Coalition's overall goals? What do you mean
by civil justice reform?
Answer: Our goals are to reduce frivolous lawsuits and to encourage fairness and
predictability in our legal system. The civil justice system is that part of our court system
that deals with private conflicts. Individuals disagree and cannot settle it privately, so the
court does. The civil justice system deals with issues like personal injury, product
liability, family law and other non -criminal cases. Our group is not involved in issues
relating to the criminal courts.
Question: Are you saying our courts don't work anymore?
Answer: Not at all. The American justice system is the envy of the world. It allows
people to settle their grievances in an open and fair forum. But as problems in our
society have grown more complicated, more people are using the courts in improper
ways. The reforms the Civil Justice Coalition advocates target those areas in which the
system is being misused.
Question: Give an example of a reform that addresses "lawsuit abuse?"
Answer:
In the mid -eighties, lawsuits against doctors were becoming increasingly common. Many
of these lawsuits were not cases of negligence or wrongdoing on the part of the doctor -
they were cases of the client or patient not getting the result he or she wanted because of
any number of factors. Most of these cases were thrown out of court eventually, but they
clogged up the system and they stole valuable time and money from the doctors who had
to defend themselves.
In 1997, to address this issue, the CJC advocated a law modeled after a Certificate of
Merit law originated by the Minnesota Medical Association and extended it to other
professions. That means that before someone can sue a professional, another professional
from that field has to look at the facts of the case and decide whether they believe there is
merit to the case. It's a very low hurdle. It's having two positive effects. First, many
frivolous lawsuits go no further than the certificate of merit. And, they shouldn't.
Another positive effect is that when another professional says, "Yes, there may be merit
to this claim," the professionals being sued seem to be more willing to settle the case out
of court. It has worked out to be fair both for the professional involved in the suits and
for people who have a legitimate claim. This is the kind of reform we support.
Question: What else is on your agenda for 1998?
Answer: In addition to reforming joint and several liability, we are seeking a bill that would grant
immunity from lawsuits to employers who give job references.

Fact Sheet
Immunity for Employer Job References
Issue Overview
In the past, everyjob-seeker listed "references" on the bottom of their resumes.
Most of the time those references included a past employer or two. Now, even if a job-
seeker lists their references, employers will offer little or no information about past
workers. Typically, employers will only confirm that the job seeker had a job at the
company, what their job title was and the dates of employment.
This change has come about not because of new laws but because of new
lawsuits. Beginning in the 1980s, more job -seekers sued former employers for
defamation based on the references they were given. To protect themselves from costly
lawsuits, more employers are taking a "no comment" approach to references. This fear -
driven unwillingness to reveal anything about job applicants has gone so far that
employers recently have been sued for not revealing past sexual misconduct or violent
behavior. Clearly, the law on employer references must be changed.
Problem: Fear of reference -related lawsuits harms good employees,
protects bad ones
The silence that most employers keep when asked for references is harmful in
several ways. First, it protects bad and dangerous employees. If employers are not
willing to reveal that former workers were fired due to poor performance or because they
threatened other employees, their ability to get a new job remains unaffected. These
problem employees can move on to a new workplace where they may cause the same
problems and even put other workers at risk of harm.
To make matters worse, employers also now face the threat of lawsuits if they
don't give a job reference. In one case, two schools were sued for not alerting another
school about a principal who had been accused of molesting students. The principal
committed the same acts at his new job and his new employers, rightfully, were incensed
that they had not been informed of his previous behavior. For employers, references have
become a lose -lose situation.
Because employers must maintain a uniform reference policy, good workers also
are punished. Their former employers may want to give a positive reference, but cannot.
These workers do not benefit from their past performance and may lose opportunities to
advance their careers.

The lack of work-related, background information hinders our economy as a
whole. Without any information about an employee's past work, employers don't have
the necessary information to determine which job applicant is best. For employers
working in sensitive fields, where employees are in constant contact with customers or
even visit a customer's home, the inability to get reliable performance information is
dangerous.
CK's solution: Provide immunity for employer job references
To protect employers from frivolous lawsuits, improve workplace safety and
allow a free flow of job-related information, immunity from civil liability should be
granted for employer references. Currently, references are covered by "qualified
immunity," a common law protection for giving references in good faith. This is not
sufficient.
CJC supports a plan that would give employers the right to disclose in writing
basic information such as dates of employment, job description and duties, pay level and
wage history. Additional information, such as written evaluations and an explanation of
why the employee left, also may be released without fear of lawsuit, if the former
employee authorizes it.
This proposal protects the rights of employees while allowing important
information to be disclosed.
CJC advocated this idea in the 1997 Legislative session, where it had significant
support. It will be put forward again in 1998.

Frequently Asked Questions
Employer Immunity for Job References
The Minnesota Civil Justice Coalition is an organization of associations,
businesses, health care interests, local governments and non -profits dedicated to
improving the civil justice system in Minnesota. The coalition supports reasonable and
fair reforms that will discourage frivolous lawsuits and maintain the public's confidence
in the civil justice system. One of those reforms is granting specific immunity for
employers giving job references. This is a vital public safety and business issue. What
follows are questions that are frequently asked of members of the Minnesota Civil Justice
Coalition.
Question: Don't all employers give out references? What do employers
need immunity from?
Answer: Beginning in the 1980s, employees who left their jobs and sought out other
work began to file lawsuits if they felt their previous employer gave them a bad
reference. Sometimes, it was a case of being given a good reference but not good
enough. Some employees won these lawsuits and it cost their companies a lot of money.
The number of these suits created a real fear in the business community about giving
out job references. Many companies now will only confirm that a person did work for
them, perhaps giving out the dates of employment and the job title. That's all.
To make matters worse, employers also now face the threat of lawsuits if they don't give
a job reference. In one case, two schools were sued for not alerting another school about
a principal who had been accused of molesting students. The principal committed the
same acts at his new job and his new employers, rightfully, were incensed that they had
not been informed of his previous behavior. For employers, references have become a
lose -lose situation. They are sued if they give references and they are sued if they don't
give references.
Question: How would immunity work?
Answer: The bill supported by the Minnesota Civil Justice Coalition would give
employers the right to disclose in writing basic information about a former employee,
such as dates of employment, job description, basic duties, pay level and wage history.
Additional information, such as written performance evaluations and an explanation of
why the employee left, could also be released without fear of a lawsuit, if the former
employee authorized it.

Question: Would that solve the problem?
Answer: It would go a long way. The current system protects bad employees and it hurts
good ones because employers cannot discriminate about which employees they release
information on.
Question: Why is this such an important issue?
Answer: At its heart, it's a public safety issue. Imagine being the owner of a nursing
home or a day-care center and not being able to find out important background
information about the people you are going to be putting in charge of the care of children
or elderly people. There have been cases of workers who were violent in one job, getting
hired at another place and behaving violently there as well.
Question: What about your organization's overall goals. What do you
mean by civil justice reform?
Answer: The civil justice system is that part of our court system that deals with private
conflicts. That is, you believe I have wronged you in some way that has caused an injury.
If we cannot settle our disagreement privately, the courts are there to settle it for us. The
civil justice system deals with issues like personal injury, product liability, contract
disputes and other non -criminal cases. Our group is not involved in issues relating to the
criminal courts.
Question: Are you saying our courts don't work anymore?
Answer: Not at all. The American justice system is the envy of the world. It allows
people to settle their grievances in an open and fair forum. But as problems in our
society have grown more complicated, more people are using the courts in improper
ways. The reforms the Civil Justice Coalition advocates target those areas in which the
system is being misused.
Question: Give an example of a reform that addresses "lawsuit abuse?"

common. Many of these lawsuits were not cases of negligence or wrongdoing on the part
of the doctor - they were cases of the client or patient not getting the result he or she
wanted because of any number of factors. Most of these cases were thrown out of court
eventually, but they clogged up the system and they stole valuable time and money from
the doctors who had to defend themselves.

Minnesota Civil Justice Coalition
Who we are: The Minnesota Civil Justice Coalition is an organization of trade associations,
businesses, health care interests, local governments and non -profits dedicated to improving the
civil justice system in Minnesota. We support reasonable and fair reforms that will discourage
frivolous lawsuits and help maintain the public's trust in the justice system.
What we believe: We believe that Minnesotans deserve a civil justice system that is fair,
responsible and predictable. Surveys consistently show that 84 percent of Minnesotans support
reforms of the civil justice system. To achieve reform, the Minnesota Civil Justice Coalition has
three primary goals:
• To educate the public about the true nature and the real victims of frivolous civil litigation.
According to the American Tort Reform Association, consumers pay about $1,200 a year in
higher prices and taxes because of unnecessary litigation. Surveys also show that more than
70 percent of Minnesotans fear they will be sued. We believe that a few reasonable reforms
would reduce the incentives that now encourage people to sue unnecessarily.
• To bring together—individuals and organizations concerned about our legal system. The
Minnesota Civil Justice Coalition welcomes new members who share our concern about
improving the civil justice system. Our members develop consensus on which reforms are
most needed and how to achieve them.
• To create solutions that will encourage fairness and predictability in the justice system and
that can gain approval from the Minnesota Legislature.
In the 1996 and 1997 Legislative sessions, we promoted the idea of a "certificate of
merit" that is now required before a lawsuit is filed against a doctor or other professional,
such as accountant, architect or lawyer. Under this law, another professional from the
same field must review the case and certify that the case is "non -frivolous" before the
case can proceed. This law will reduce the number of frivolous suits. In cases where
merit is found, parties often are quicker to reach a negotiated settlement. This was the
first significant civil justice reform in a decade in Minnesota.
During the 1998 session, we will be working on issues such as granting immunity from
civil lawsuits for employers who provide job references and reforming Minnesota's joint
and several liability statute.

MEMO
city of eagan
TO: City Administrator Hedges
FROM: Jon Hohenstein, Assistant to the City Administrator
4)f ---
DATE: December 10, 1997
SUBJECT: Runway 4/22 Extension — Environmental Assessment Comments
The City has received the Environmental Assessment Document for the Extension of Runway
4/22 to 12,000 feet. Excerpts are attached to this memo. Interestingly, the conclusion of the
analysis is that the preferred alternative is to extend the runway 1,000 feet to the northeast. The
analysis suggests slightly lower environmental consequences and lower costs of acquisition with
this alternative.
On October 22, 1997, the City forwarded the comments below to the MAC consultant, HNTB,
for consideration in this review. This memo identifies the extent to which the issues were
addressed. The availability of the document also presents an opportunity to address other issues if
the City believes them to be pertinent.
Environmental Assessment Responses to Previous Issues
1. Noise Impacts — In addition to the basic analysis of DNL metrics, the study should review:
a. Single event impacts for additional operations. Single event analysis was included
showing less than 1 dBA difference between the current situation and the various
alternatives (Table 4.7)
b. The extent to which noise contours would extend into new neighborhoods. Comparisons
of alternatives show relative areas and populations within the contours. They do not
show neighborhoods per se, but "neighborhood" boundaries may be difficult to define
(Tables 4.1 and 4.2).
c. Ground noise. Ground noise and low frequency noise are discussed in Section 4.1.5.
The conclusion is that one additional operation per day not add significantly to the
preexisting impacts for either of these types of noise. In addition, ground noise is a
component of the modeled contours
d. Low frequency noise impacts. See Ground noise.
2. Operations and Growth — The review is anticipated to consider impacts during the first year of
operations which would consist of three to six operations per week to Hong Kong. The
review should also address:
a. Potential expansion of operations to other destinations. Does the availability of the
additional runway length make other destinations feasible in Asia, Europe or elsewhere?
What effect would that have on the operations estimates and impacts? Reference is made
in Section 1.1.5 to analysis done in the MSP 2010 Long Term Comprehensive Plan that
concluded that Frankfurt, Paris, Seoul and Hong Kong were potential non-stop markets
that could be added to the existing non -stops to Tokyo, Osaka, London and Amsterdam.
Seoul, the most distant of these, is comparable in distance to Osaka and probably would
not need the additional runway length. Staff was unable to locate any further analysis of
other destinations in the assessment document.
b. Potential use of the extension for other operational scenarios. Does the availability of the
additional runway length offer operational alternatives that may impact airport capacity?
For example, could smaller aircraft be shifted from the parallels to operate independently
to or from the southwest without having to cross either parallel? No specific comments
appear with respect to this item. It should be noted, however, that the preferred
alternative of extending the runway to the northeast does not create any scenario for
more runway length for intersection departures than is available now to the southwest.
c. Feeder system expansion to support international operations. Since a small fraction of the
enplanements for the Hong Kong flights will originate in Minneapolis -St. Paul, to what
extent will the feeder system need to grow to support the international operations? The
relationship of the Hong Kong flights to the feeder system is mentioned in the Aviation
Forecasts Section 1.1. S, but no further explanation is provided
d. Sensitivity analysis for growth assumptions. How certain are the growth projections for
the extension and background traffic? Can the analysis consider a range of operations
levels to account for potential variations? The assessment uses the growth assumptions in
the MSP Long Term Comprehensive Plan High Combination projection. The LTCP
offers a range of projections with analysis of the circumstances that would contribute to
each. The MAC has been adjusting its projections based on actual growth to date such
that the High Combination projection reflects current trends (Section 1.1. S and Table
1.3).
3. Economic Impacts — Initial analyses suggested a strong, positive impact on the local economy
from the availability of non-stop Hong Kong service.
a. Will the economic activity result entirely from new growth in the system or will some of
this demand shift from other origination points that currently provide service with
intermediate stops? Again, Section 1.1.5 references the feeder system and trends in
international service but does so only from MSP's perspective and does not differentiate
between new growth and shifts from other markets
b. Since MAC capital improvements are funded through landing fees, concession fees,
Passenger Facility Charges and other airport revenues, what will be the cost on the typical
passenger over the next ten years to support this improvement? This issue does not
appear to have been addressed
4. General Comments — The scoping document indicates that the development of Runway 17-35
will be considered as a cumulative impact. Is this appropriate or would it modify some of the
impacts anticipated by this improvement? It would appear that sufficient comparisons are
provided between the no action and extension alternatives separate from Runway 17-35 to
analyze extension impacts on their own.
Y 01
Other Issues
The document includes an analysis of the temporary noise impacts during construction (Section
4.15.3). The source of the impacts would be the relocation of all operations, including the heavy
international operations to the parallel runways for one construction season. This action will
increase projected noise levels in northern Eagan by .5 DNL or less above the no action
alternative. While the DNL levels do not change significantly, any traffic at the airport at any time
will need to use the parallels. The City may wish to recommend comments regarding the use of
operating standards to limit those impacts as much as possible during this period.
Potential Comments
Based on the responses to previous issues and further analysis of the environmental assessment,
the City may wish to consider comments on the issues not fully addressed in the environmental
assessment. Potential comments include:
• The City has asked that the environmental assessment review the feasibility of other
destinations that would need and use the proposed runway length. While the assessment
references the MSP Long Term Comprehensive Plan projections, that analysis was done
considering only the runway surfaces and lengths anticipated at the time of the study. The
extension was not among the assumptions at that time. If other destinations are feasible and
were implemented, the operations growth and environmental impacts outlined in the
assessment would be understated.
• The City has asked that the relationship between the extension and the feeder system be more
fully analyzed to determine the potential for and potential extent of indirect growth. To date
the discussion in the environmental assessment indicates simply that 13% of the Hong Kong
passengers would originate at MSP. The differential analyses only differentiate between
scenarios with and without the Hong Kong flights themselves. To what extent will the
number of operations within the feeder system need to expand to support the other 87%?
• The City has asked that the analysis describe the economic impacts on the flying public to
fund the improvement. The assessment discusses economic benefits and activity associated
directly or indirectly with the Hong Kong operations. It does not include any analysis of the
additional capital costs to be absorbed by the flying public. To the extent that capital costs
are spread over all users and not just the Hong Kong passengers, how much will the typical
ticket price be affected and over what period will it be affected to support this improvement?
• During the construction on Runway 4/22, all operations will be diverted to the parallel
runways. While the increase in DNL will be minimal, there will be no periods when there are
not at least some operations occurring to the northwest and southeast of the airport. The
assessment does not address any interim noise mitigation strategies to be implemented during
construction. The assessment should identify and the MAC, FAA and airlines should
implement appropriate noise abatement strategies to recognize this situation. In particular,
the City of Eagan would request that compliance with corridor procedures be significantly
improved during the construction period to minimize impacts on neighborhoods outside of
the noise compatible area.

ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To receive the feasibility report for Project 726 (Greensboro
Addition — Storm Sewer) and schedule a public hearing to be held on February 3, 1998.
• City staff received a letter and petition from Julie Hermann Casey, property owner at 3738
Greensboro Drive. The petition requested that the City resolve a drainage problem in the rear
lot of the property.
• The property description is Lot 1, Block 4, Greensboro 2nd Addition and was developed
during the summer of 1987.
• Since 1990, the petitioner has had water in her basement every year. The petitioner has made
improvements to the house and yard each year in an attempt to correct the problem.
• In 1997, the petitioner contacted a contractor to discuss corrective options. Suggestions
involved the placement of drain tile within the drainage and utility easements to the south or
to the east. The petitioner set up a neighborhood meeting and sent permission request forms
to the affected neighbors. She has not been successful in obtaining her neighbors'
permission to work within the easement in their yards.

Agenda Information Memo
December 16, 1997
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To schedule a public hearing for Project 717R (Country
Home Heights — Street Improvements) to be held on January 20, 1998.
FACTS:
• On December 26, 1996, City staff received a petition from four property owners along
Rainier Lane requesting street improvements. Subsequently, the City Council authorized the
preparation of a feasibility report on January 7.
• On May 6, the Council received staff's preliminary findings of economic unfeasibility and
subsequently canceled Project 717 from further consideration. However, in response to a
request from a property owner, the Council directed staff to evaluate various alternatives
other than standard street improvements for both Rainier Lane and the entire Country Home
Heights subdivision.
• At a Special Council Workshop on August 5, the City Council was presented with five
options for stabilizing the existing gravel streets and subsequently directed staff to prepare a
formal feasibility report with two options of street surfacing for the entire Country Home
Heights subdivision. This feasibility report was completed and presented to the City Council
on September 2.
• On October 7, a public hearing was scheduled to consider the proposed improvements.
However, due to an error in the notifications, the public hearing was not held. Instead, the
Council conducted an informational meeting with the residents to hear their concerns.
Subsequently, the Council directed staff to have formal pre -project appraisals performed and
reschedule the formal public hearing when appropriate. This work has now been completed
and the hearing can be set for January 20, 1998. An informational neighborhood meeting
will be held prior to the formal public hearing.

L CONTRACT 97-11, OLD SIBLEY HIGHWAY
STREET & UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve Change Order No. 1 to Contract 97-11 (Old
Sibley Highway— Street and Utility Improvements) and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute all related documents.
FACTS:
• Contract 97-11 provided for the construction of sanitary sewer along Old Sibley Highway,
southwest of State Highway 13 and Cedar Avenue, to serve the proposed Eagan Heights
Addition (Phase 2). Street improvements, water main stubs, and storm sewer construction
were also included within Old Sibley Highway. Storm sewer improvements and minor
grading were also included for the Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition and pressure reducing
stations for the trunk water main in the area.
• The items detailed in the change order address the time extension for the placement of the
bituminous wear course on Old Sibley Highway and the removal of a blockage of an existing
storm sewer pipe in Cinnamon Ridge Yd Addition.
• The sanitary sewer improvements were to be completed prior to the placement of the
bituminous for the street. Due to delays in the acquisition of an easement for the sanitary
sewer and the eventual revision in the alignment for said sewer, the placement of the sanitary
sewer was delayed. Because of the lateness in the construction season and temperatures less
than acceptable for placement of bituminous wear course, only the base course was placed.
• The change order requests a time extension for the completion date for the base course from
September 20, 1997, to November 8, 1997, and for the wear course from September 20,
1997, to June 15, 1998. Compensation for additional work required by the delay and
increased costs are also requested.
• The storm sewer improvements in Cinnamon Ridge were to be completed by October 4,
1997. Due to a blockage located in the existing storm sewer. the contractor could not
construct the proposed improvements. The blockage was located and removed by the
contractor so that the improvements could be constructed.

JUSTIFICATION FOR/PURPOSE OF CHANGE ORDER
ENGINEER:
Bonestroo & Associates
2335 W Hwy 36
St. Paul, MN 55113
This Change Order will grant an extension to Ryan Construction for the completion of Old Sibley Highway,
Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition, and the pressure reducing stations.
The original completion date for Old Sibley Highway was September 20, 1997. The completion of Old Sibley
Highway was dependant upon acquiring the easement from Ferrellgas to install the sanitary sewer. The city was
unable to negotiate an easement with Ferrellgas, and the sanitary alignment was ultimately changed to a new
location on the Ferrellgas property.
4957ftombt Z/ v
Due to the delay in acquiring the easement, the revised completion date for the installation of the binder course
shall be November 8, 1997. Due to the colder temperatures, it would be beneficial to delay wear course paving until
the spring of 1998. The revised completion date for the wear course paving shall be extended until June 15, 1998.
The associated costs are shown in Part A below.
Part B - Cinnamon Ridge 3rd A dditigI3
The original completion date for Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition was October 4, 1997. Due to a blockage in the existing
storm sewer line, that was discovered by public works after the contract award, Pond AP -2 IA would not drain down to
allow the contractor to complete the storm sewer modifications.77he contractor was requested to excavate the storm
sewer line and remove the blockage. which was not included in the work that was bid. The contractor is requesting an
extension until November 22, 1997, to complete the storm sewer modifications.
Part C - Pressure Reducing C atio +
The original completion date for the pressure reducing stations was October 4. 1997. Due to delay in the delivery
of the materials for the pressure reducing stations, the contractor is requesting an extension until November 15, 1997,
to complete the work.

Agenda Information Memo

O CONTRACT 98-01, SOUTHERN LAKES WATER TOWER
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To receive the bids for Contract 98-01 (Southern Lakes
Water Tower) and award the contract to Pittsburgh-DesMoines for Style A (Fluted Column) on
the alternate site in the amount of $1,084,500 including Alternates A-1, 3, 5 and 6 in the amount
of $36,000 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents.
FACTS:
• In June/July of 1997, the cities of Inver Grove Heights and Eagan entered into a Joint Powers
Agreement (JPA) which provided for the extension of utility service from Eagan into Inver
Grove Heights.
• In order to adequately serve the new expanded water service area in Inver Grove Heights and
provide better service to the southeast corner of Eagan, the 1996 Comprehensive Water
Supply, Storage and Distribution Plan identified the need for a 1.0 Million Gallon (MG)
water tower with a water elevation of 1150'.
• The highest ground elevation at 1008' was identified within Inver Grove Heights, and more
specifically within the NSP Wescott Gas Plant facility to the north of the proposed Southern
Lakes development. Detailed plans and specifications were prepared for a 150' tall water
tower for both a pedestal spheroid as well as a fluted column design.
• The JPA requires Inver Grove Heights to provide to Eagan a site of approximately 1.5 acres
for this water tower site. In October, the City of Eagan applied for two Conditional Use
Permits (height and use) and a Waiver of Plat. These applications were recommended for
denial by the I.G.Hts. Planning Commission and considered by the I.G.Hts. City Council on
November 24. Due to significant objections from adjacent residential property owners,
Eagan was requested to evaluate an alternative site approximately 1200' further west with a
ground elevation of 978 (30' lower).
• An Addendum was issued to the bid solicitation package requesting bid quotations for both
styles at this alternate site.
• At 2:00 p.m. on December 8, the bid opening was held. A copy of the bid tabulation for both
styles and both locations along with various altemates are enclosed.
• The result of this bid opening was presented to the I.G.Hts. City Council at their regular
meeting of December 8 at at which time they selected the fluted column design on the
alternate site and approved the Conditional Use Permits and Waiver of Plat for that location.
• Several construction alternates were identified through the bid solicitation process. Staff has
identified Alternates A-1, 3, 5 and 6 for favorable consideration by the City Council in the
contract award. Staff is recommending Alternates A-2, 4, and 7 be disregarded. Based on
the bids received and the site provided by I.G.Hts., it is recommended that the City Council
give favorable consideration to awarding Contract 98-01 to Pittsburgh DesMoines (PDM) in
the amount of $1,084,500, which is the lowest bid for the alternate site. A summary table of
these recommendations is also included.
S3
ISSUES:
In order to meet the required completion date of October 15, 1998, it is important that this
contract be awarded on December 16. Any delay in contract award will put the completion
date in jeopardy with the next available completion date being July 1999. This delayed
completion date will not allow the City of Eagan to install the altitude control valve and
perform the required preventative maintenance inspection of the Safari Water Tower during
the winter of 1999, which is necessary for the scheduled repair and repainting of the Safari
Reservoir currently programmed for the winter of 2000.
I.G.Hts. has been negotiating with NSP for the acquisition of this site. While the deed
conveyance may not be in order by December 16, it is anticipated that an irrevocable right -
of -entry will be provided allowing the City to award this contract. If the appropriate property
rights are not in order for Council consideration of contract award, staff will provide a status
report with recommended appropriate actions.

Q. 1998 STREET MAINTEANCE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
ACTION FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: To approve the 1998 Joint Powers
Agreement for street maintenance and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related
documents
FACTS:
For the past thirteen years (1985) the City of Eagan has participated in a Joint Powers
Agreement with the cities of Burnsville, Apple Valley, Lakeville, Rosemount, Savage, Prior
Lake and Shakopee to solicit competitive prices for pavement traffic marking, street
sweeping, crack sealing and sealcoating into actual services.
This consolidation of administrative services and economy of scale competitive bidding has
resulted in significant savings to the City of Eagan and resulted in a Certificate of
Commendation from the Governor in 1995.
A similar JPA is being presented to the Council for their consideration for 1998. It has been
reviewed by the Superintendent of Streets/Equipment and found to be in order for favorable
consideration.
R. PRQJECT 734, TOWN CENTER 100 SIDEW i K
ACTION FOR CITY COUNCIL: To authorize a Feasibility Report for Project 734 (Town
Center 100 - Sidewalk).
FACTS:
• City staff has received a request from the Dakota County HRA requesting the City Council to
initiate a public improvement process to provide for the extension and completion of the
sidewalk system within the Town Center 100 development.
• The HRA will be installing a sidewalk along their entire frontage of the proposed senior
housing development as a part of their first phase. The enclosed map shows the extent of the
existing sidewalkltrailway system, the portion to be completed by the HRA and the location
of their requested sidewalks. If this request is approved, staff is recommending that the
completion of the sidewalk system along the north side of Town Center Drive west of
O'Leary Lane be included as well.

RESIMEWAL.KS FOR SENIOR HouszNG
Dear Tom:
Housing & Redevelopment Authority 6J?•#_>i,jtw
349&J45ih Si. IM • itowmitnu„ 41N 550ti • TALI). 611-42 3.6l1? • FAX 012-423-61,N
We would like to request that the City of Eagan consider the installation of sidewalks along the
entire; south side of Town Centre Drive. As part of our proposed senior housing development,
the HRA will be installing sidewalks across the entire length of road adjacent to out property.
This will allow seniors to safely walk from the senior housing facility toward the retail and
commercial facilities to the west.
However, the portion of Town Centre Drive adjacent to the Waterford Place apartment facility
will not have sidewalks on the south side of the road. We are very concerned abort the safety
ramifications of seniors not having sidewalks when traveling cast on Town Centre Drive. It is
our experience in other senior facilities that a'significant number of our senior residents are
active walkers. Many enjoy this activity on a daily basis. By installing a sidewalk along all of
the south side of Town Centro Drive we could open a safe route for walkers who wish to access
the terrific trails that run along Lexington Avenue.
In researching this issue it is our understanding that this request would be consistent with the
draft Road Corridor Trail Plan. Given the legislature reduced tax rates for most multifamily
rental property, it might be a less onerous time for the owner's of Waterford Place to afford the
necessary assessments that might be needed to fulfill this request. Also, I am sure that their
residents would greatly benefit from the installation of additional sidewalks in this area.
On behalf of all of us here at the HRA, we would like to thank the city for their outstanding
Commitment to providing affordable senior hntLsing in the community. We look forward to
beginning the construction in the near future on this facility. We also appreciate your
consideration of this request.
Sincerely yours,

ACTION FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: To receive a petition and authorize the
preparation of a Feasibility Report for Project 735 (Wescott Hill Drive - Extension).
FACTS
• The Minneapolis/St. Paul Archdiocese of the Catholic Church has entered into a purchase
agreement for the Faithful Shepherd Catholic School to be located in the northwest corner of
Yankee Doodle Road and the extension of Wescott Hills Drive. A Conditional Use Permit
for this land use was approved at the September 2 meeting.
The church intends to exercise their purchase agreement and complete the acquisition before
the end of the year. A condition of that purchase agreement requires the church to pursue the
acquisition of public access other than the Eagandale Corporate Center development.
In submitting the petition, the applicant has agreed to reimburse the City for all costs incurred
if, for some reason, the project is not approved as a result of this public improvement
process.

BEFORE TRE CITY COUNCIL,
CI'T'Y OF EAGAN, DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
In Re: Application of Walter Nelson for a
Rezoning and two Variances.
FLNDINGS OF FACT,
CONCLUSIONS AND
RESOLUTION
On November 25, 1997, following publication of notice to the public, the Advisory
Planning Commission of the City of Eagan conducted a public hearing to consider the request
of Walter Nelson for a change in zoning from R-1 (single family residential) to R-2
(residential duplex) and a variance to the minimum lot width of 100 feet to 85 feet and a
variance to the minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet to 12,058 square feet, all on Lot 23,
Block 2, Wilderness Run 2nd Addition, according to the duly recorded plat thereof, Dakota
County, Minnesota.
The applicant's representative appeared at the public hearing, and spoke in favor of the
request. During the public hearing, the Advisory Planning Commission received and
considered staff and citizen input, planning reports and other background information
following the public hearing the Advisory Planning Commission voted to recommend denial
of the requested rezoning and variances.
The matter then came before the Eagan City Council at its December 3, 1997, meeting
The Council received, considered and discussed the Advisory Planning Commission
recommendation, input from staff, the applicant's representative and planning reports, together
with all Files, records and prior proceedings.

SENT BY:

12-12-97 ; 11:21 ; SEVERSON SHELDON 681 4694:# 3/ 4
Based upon all the files, records, prior proceedings and input which was presented at
the meetings, the Council makes the following Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Resolution:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1 _ This matter is properly before the Eagan City Council.
2. The Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan for this property designates it as D-1
(single family residential, 0-3 units per acre).
3. The existing zoning on this property is R-1 which complies with the
Comprehensive Guide Plan.
4_ The requested rezoning to R-2 (residential duplex) is not in conformance with
the existing Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan on the property.
5. Lot 23 takes access on to County Road 32 (Pilot Knob Road). Pilot Knob Road
is a County collector street and adding additional traffic from the second residence of the
proposed duplex at an uncontrolled access is a safety concern.
6. The applicant has established no hardship for either the variance to the lot
width from 100 feet to 85 feet and/or the variance from the minimum lot size from 15,000
square feet to 12,053 square feet. The applicant has only offered that the variances would
allow development as a residential duplex.
7. Alternative access may be available through C"-leome Lane. However, all other
lots taking access on C,leome Lane are single family lots and thus the character of the
neighborhood is single-family residential.

8 A rezoning of this property would be spot zoning in so far as it would create a
special zoning on this piece of property which is not shared by the adjacent properties. The
property has a viable economic use as it exists,
The City makes the following Conclusions:
CONCLL SIONS
i Lot 23, Block 2, Wilderness Run 2nd Addition is a viable use as a single-
family residential lot
2_ The applicant's request for a rezoning is not consistent with the existing
Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan.
3. '!'here have been no hardships shown which would justify the variances as
requested by the applicant.
RESOL U'FI(ON
Based on the foregoing, the City Council of the City of Fagan does hereby determine
and resolve that the applicant's request for a rezoning and variances is hereby denied

PLANNING REPORT
CITY OF EAGAN
REPORT DATE: DECEMBER 5,1997
APPLICANT: JIM SIMONET
PROPERTY OWNER: JIM SIMONET
REQUEST: BUILDING MOVE PERMIT
HEARING DATE: DECEMBER 16,1997
PREPARED BY: DALE SCHOEPPNER
LOCATION: 3432 HIGHWAY 55 (10-01200-080-02)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: RURAL RESIDENTIAL
ZONING: AGRICULTURAL
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
Mr. Simonet is requesting a building move permit to relocate a 43' x 27' two-story house and a 24' x 28'
garage from 3555 Highway 149 to 3432 Highway 55.
AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW
City Code Chapter 4, Section 4. 10, gives the Protective Inspections Division authority to issue permits to
move a building out of the City and authorizes the City Council to issue a permit to move a building to a
location within the City. City Code, Chapter 4, Section 4. 10, Subd. 13 states that a moving permit shall be
denied for any one of the following:
A. The applicant has not complied with any requirement of this section.
B. Moving the building would endanger persons or property in the City.
C. The building is in such a state of deterioration or disrepair or is otherwise so structurally unsafe that
it would constitute a danger to persons or property in the City.
D. The building is structurally unsafe or unfit for the purpose for which it is moved.
E. The equipment for moving is unsafe and persons and property would be endangered by its use.
V'A
F. The building or its use would not be in compliance with zoning, building codes or other
provisions of the City Code
G. If the building to be moved is in substantial variance with either the established or the expected
pattern of building development within the neighborhood to which the building is to be moved.
Comparative age, bulk, architectural style and quality of construction of both the building to be
moved and the other buildings in the neighborhood shall be considered in determining whether a
building is in substantial variance. If the building to be moved is more than ten years older than the
oldest building situated on lands abutting the land to which the building is to be moved, such fact
shall be evidence that the building to be moved is in substantial variance.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The subject site is an unplatted 4.7 acre parcel (P.I.D. #10-01200-080-02) and does not have any
structures on it.
EVALUATION OF REQUEST
Mr. Simonet is requesting that a moving permit be issued for the purposes of relocating a house and
detached garage from 3555 Highway 149 to 3432 Highway 55. The proposed placement of the house and
garage meet City code setback requirements.
A representative of the Protective Inspections Division has conducted a site inspection of the house and
garage. Subsequent to the inspection, the applicant has been informed that the Uniform Building Code
requires moved buildings to be upgraded to current standards.
The house will need new egress windows in the main bedrooms and one in the basement. New hard -wired
smoke detectors must also be installed. Both the house and garage appear to be structurally stable.
Parcels to the west and east are vacant while parcels to the north and south contain walkout rambler style
homes and accessory buildings.
AIRPORT NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
The City of Eagan considered airport noise as a factor in its Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. With the
State's decision to expand the airport at its current location, the Metropolitan Council has adopted a revised
Aviation Chapter that anticipates the impacts from the continued operation of the airport at its current location.
The noise policy contours in northern Eagan place the subject property within Noise Zone IV.
Within this area, infill single family residential development would be conditional. While the proposal to move
a home is different from typical development, it does place a residential use in a higher noise impact area than
at its current location and the Council may treat it similarly. To be approve such development in this area, the
City Council would need to make acceptable findings concerning the following:
1. Specific nature of the proposed use, including the extent of outdoor activities.
2. Relationship of the proposed use to other planning considerations, including adjacent land use activities,
consistency with overall comprehensive planning and relation to other metropolitan systems.
3. Frequency of exposure of proposed uses to aircraft overflight.
4. Location of proposed use relative to aircraft flight tracks and aircraft on -ground operating and
maintenance areas.
5. Location, site design and construction restrictions to be imposed by the community of the proposed use
with respect to reduction of exterior to interior noise transmissions and shielding of outdoor activities.
6. Method community will use to inform future occupant of proposed building of potential noise from
aircraft operations.
7. Extent to which community restricts the building from having facilities for outdoor activities
associated with the use.
8. Distance of proposed use from existing or proposed runways, parallel taxiways or engine run-up
areas.
With respect to the factual aspects of the findings, the property lies approximately 4.5 miles southeast of the
primary runways at the airport. On an annual average, approximately half of all arrivals and departures use
these runways to and from the southeast. At current traffic levels, this equals approximately 300,000
operations annually. Because of the relationship of the property to the current departure and arrival procedures
and the runway centerlines, a significant portion of the departures and arrivals will track over or near the
property. The property is approximately 5 miles from the engine maintenance and run up area.
While the Stage III airline fleet, federally mandated by the year 2000, will create less noise per operation than
the current fleet, the future net affect of such reductions is not certain. As such, regional policy requires that
cities take current noise levels into account until such time as reductions in actual noise result in a reduction
of the policy contours.
Architectural designs and construction methods for new construction within this area would be required to meet
sound attenuation standards. In particular, the building plans, materials and construction would need to be such
that they would insure an interior sound level of 45 dBA as compared with the noise level at the inner boundary
of the noise zone, in this case 65 DNL. Sound attenuation in existing structures may not achieve the same
levels as can be achieved with new construction. Therefore, the applicant would benefit by applying at least
the 5 dBA level of attenuation targeted by the Metropolitan Airports Commission's Part 150 Program. It is
advisable that the applicant attempt to exceed this level to the extent that it is feasible.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION
Mr. Simonet is requesting a permit to move a 43'x 27' two-story house and a 24'x 28' detached garage from
3555 Highway 149 to 3432 Highway 55.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
To approve/deny a building move permit to move a house and garage from 3555 Highway 149 to 3432
Highway 55 subject to the following:
1. A building permit for the foundation and interior improvements would be applied for and issued
prior to construction.
2. The house is modified to be consistent with the current building code.
3. The applicant performs sound attenuation improvements to the building to achieve an inside noise
level reduction of at least an additional 5dBA.

INFORMATIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1997
7:00 P.M. COMMUNITY ROOM
Attendance: Russ Matthys, Tom Colbert, John Gorder - City of Eagan; Sharon Hills — City
Attorney's Office. Approximately 37 people (see attached sign -in sheet).

Council.
C. Questions/Comments
I. Will the street curb elevations be changed?
No. The damaged curbs will be replaced in some areas but will be placed back at
essentially the same elevation.
2. Are streetlights included as part of this project?
No, but streetlights can be considered as a separate project if the neighborhood
desires via petition.
3. Why am I being billed for residential streetlights if there are none in the subdivision?
Homeowners should not be billed for residential streetlights if there are none on their
street. Staff will investigate further with the City Utility Billing Department. Note:
Research into this question subsequent to the meeting indicated the lsc, 2nd and 3Td
Additions do not have streetlights but are being billed for community lighting and not
residential lighting in accordance with City policy. The Oak Chase Additions (4'h,
5"', 6t') who do have streetlights within the subdivisions are billed for residential
lighting as well as community lighting, also in accordance with City policy.
4. Why is a portion of Oak Chase Way adjacent to the Oak Chase 6`h Addition included
for consideration when it was constructed in 1984 — only 13 years ago?
The platting of the Oak Chase 5th Addition in 1978 dedicated a street easement for
this portion of Oak Chase Way. Given that, together with the appearance of a distinct
joint separating this section of street from the remainder of the street south of Lot 3,
Block 2, Oak Chase 6th, it was assumed that the street was constructed with the Oak
Chase 50' Addition in 1978 and, therefore, was considered for reconstruction. Note:
Subsequent research indicates that the street portion in question was constructed in
1984 and should be deleted from the project and adjacent properties deleted from the
preliminary assessment roll. This section of street is included in the proposed 1998-
2002 CIP for an overlay in 2002.
5. What is the standard life expectancy of bituminous streets if the curb and gutter life
expectancy is 100 years as mentioned previously?
For a street constructed in 1998, the pavement life expectancy can be extended to
about 60 years with today's construction standards and pavement maintenance
programs implemented recently by the City.
6. What is the cost of a full street reconstruction as is being considered versus a
bituminous overlay as was mentioned to the neighborhood at a previous meeting?
Staff did not have that information readily available for the meeting. It should be
noted that bituminous overlay would not be appropriate for these streets, given their
present condition and street section deficiencies. Note: Subsequent research
indicates that the cost of a bituminous structural overlay is approximately 1/3 to '/x the
cost of a full bituminous street reconstruction.
7. Why is the proposed assessment more than the proposed assessment for the Country
Home Heights Addition street project when they need a full upgrade from gravel
streets to bituminous and curb and gutter, and we just need bituminous
reconstruction?
Per the City's Assessment Policy, properties in the Country Home Heights Addition
would be assessed 100% of the cost of the construction of the street, concrete curb
and gutter, and storm sewer estimated to be approximately $12,000 per lot. The
appraisals for the derived benefit from the proposed improvement are $4,000. The
assessments typically would be capped at the appraised benefit amount of $4,000.
City staff does not know the details of the appraisal process that determines the
derived benefit amounts.
8. A resident questioned how the City could have appraisal information for this meeting
when the appraiser visited his property just the morning of the meeting?
Preliminary appraisal information was made available to the City and used in the
information provided to the residents. The appraiser is still conducting formal
appraisals, which include property visits. The formal appraisals may adjust the
derived benefit amount.
f-3
9. Several residents raised questions regarding the availability of the appraisal
information.
The detailed appraisal information is not available to the public because it is
information that is prepared for the City by an independent appraiser selected by the
City Attorney's Office in the event an assessment is appealed, and is considered by
the City Attorney to be privileged information between the City Attorney's Office
and the City.
10. Several residents questioned how the appraised derived benefit is equal to the
proposed assessment?
City staff does not know how the appraisals are conducted or completed.
I1. If there is a benefit to having an improved street in front of my house, is there also a
detriment to having a street in poor condition in front of my house?
Staff is not aware of a means in which to determine a loss of value with regards to a
street in substandard condition.
12. Will there be a bond issue for this project alone or will it be combined with other
projects scheduled for next year?
There are other projects proposed for next year, but this project would likely be
handled under a separate bond issue. Regardless, the bond interest rate is based
upon the City's bond rating and not dependent upon the estimated cost of the project.
13. How was Assessment Policy set?
It was set by the City Council in 1990.
14. Since the project costs as shown on the handout are variable, do you take
competitive bids?
Yes. Competitive bids are taken on all public projects in accordance with State
Statutes. With rare exception, the lowest bid is accepted to order the project
constructed.
15. Are the residents getting "double -dipped" for the 30% indirect costs
(administration, legal, engineering) if we already pay your salary through our
taxes?
Staff time is charged to the projects on which they are working including
administration, legal, and engineering duties. Staff salaries are also paid through a
variety of sources such as building permit fees, developer escrows, etc. Property
owner taxes are a supplementary source of revenue for staff salaries but not the only
one.
16. One resident stated that the streets have only been sealcoated once.
City maintenance records indicate that the streets have been sealcoated twice since
their original construction within acceptable time frames. See the attached copies of
the maintenance records.

y
17. Did not the City have the responsibility to make sure that the streets were built
properly at the time of their construction, since they accepted them for maintenance?
Work on Oak Chase Road was started by the developer in 1970 before Eagan was
incorporated. It appears that the street was constructed in four sections during 1973
while Eagan was a village, and Oak Chase Way and Oak Chase Lane were
constructed after the City was incorporated on January 1, 1974. The aforementioned
streets in Oak Chase Additions were privately constructed by the developer and were
not constructed as public projects by the City and its consulting engineers. Oak
Chase Road and Lane (Oak Chase I" & 2"d Additions) were accepted for
maintenance by the City on December 10, 1974. The cost of the street construction
was funded by the developer who, in turn, was reimbursed by the sales to the
original homeowners. The City did not have a development agreement with the
developer due to the development beginning prior to the existence of the City. The
streets could have been designated as private streets with the maintenance being the
responsibility of the property owners due to the lack of an agreement between the
developer and the City. The City Council chose to accept the maintenance of these
streets and in doing so dedicate them as public streets. The act of accepting the
streets for maintenance purposes did not acknowledge any constructed design
criteria other than a paved surface.
18. Why would Oak Chase Way south of Oak Chase Lane be in poor condition even
though it was constructed in 1984 when there were more stringent minimum
standards for construction in place?
Some possible reasons for the rapid deterioration of a section of street include: poor
subgrade beneath the street section, poor weather conditions at time of construction,
inadequate compaction, groundwater close to the street surface, excessive loads
during subdivision development and home construction.
19. When was it determined that maintenance such as sealcoating and cracksealing was
no longer feasible?
It was determined in 1993 at the time of a scheduled sealcoating.
20. What is a breakdown of the 30% indirect costs added to the project costs?
The 30% indirect costs included in the cost estimates for the proposed improvement
are estimates of the anticipated project costs that are in addition to the construction
costs. The breakdown was estimated as follows:
18%
Engineering
4%
Administration
1.25%
Legal
5%
Interest
0.5%
Bonding
0.5%
County Records
0.75%
Contingency
4S
21. Will the street improvements raise the valuation amount determined by the County
assessor?
According to conversations with the lead County Assessor, County appraisals are not
affected by the condition of the street adjacent to a property. The County appraisals
are conducted in a different context than the project appraisals solicited by the City.
The meeting with City staff adjourned at 9:15 p.m.

Agenda Information Memo
December 16, 1997 Eagan City Council Meeting
D. VARIANCE — CITY OF EAGAN
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
• To approve or deny a Variance of twenty-six feet for the building setback from the
west property line for the proposed fire administration building to be located at 379.5
Pilot Knob Road.
FACTS.
• The existing fire administration building, which will be razed in preparation for the
new development, is substandard in building and parking setbacks from Pilot Knob
Road. The new building will bring building and parking setbacks more in line with
current code standards.
To get a reasonable use out of the odd -shaped parcel, the fire administration building
is proposed to be two stories, which requires a setback of fifty feet from the west
property line.
• Although the existing building is twenty-eight feet from the west property line and
the new building would be located twenty-four feet from the west property line, the
architect has taken into account the future residential use of the property to the west
and has provided that the area between the new building and the west property line
will be developed as an unpaved buffer area that will provide landscaping and
screening.

PLANNING REPORT
CITY OF EAGAN
REPORT DATE: November 4, 1997
APPLICANT: City of Eagan
PROPERTY OWNER: City of Eagan
REQUEST: Variance
LOCATION: 3795 Pilot Knob Road
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Public Facility (PF)
ZONING: Public Facility (P)
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
CASE: 16-V-18-11-97
HEARING DATE: Nov. 18, 1997
PREPARED BY: Michael Ridley
On behalf of the City of Eagan, BKPV Architects is requesting a 26' building setback Variance
in association with the development of the new Fire Administration Building to be located at the
northwest intersection of Wescott and Pilot Knob Roads at 3795 Pilot Knob Road in the SE '/4 of
Section 16.
AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW
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, and that the
granting of the application is necessary for the applicant.
2. The granting of the proposed variance will not be contrary to the intent of this Chapter and
the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
3. That granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is
necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty.

Planning Report — Variance
December 18, 1997

CODE RE UIREMENTS
In the Public Facilities (P) Zoning District, building setbacks are determined by adding two feet
of setback for each one foot of building height; however, the minimum setback allowed is 30'
while the maximum is 50'. Parking and drive aisle setbacks are required to be 20' off of public
right-of-way and five feet off of common lot lines.
BACKGROUNDMISTORY
The existing Fire Administration building was built in the early 1960's and was used as City Hall
offices until the early 1980's. Since that time the building has been used for Fire Administration
and training.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site in question is long from north to south but has little depth from east to west and contains
a single level `L' shaped building. The existing building, at its nearest point is only setback ten
feet off of the Pilot Knob Road right-of-way and 28' from the west property line. Existing
parking setbacks are seven feet from Pilot Knob Road and 27' from the west property line.
EVALUATION OF REQUEST
The proposed building will more efficiently use this odd shaped property. The new building is
proposed to be a two-level structure of 11,500 SF plus a basement area of approximately 5,000
SF. The new facility will house the same functions as the current facility and include fire
administration, ambulance service, and training room. The proposed site plan indicates 62
parking stalls to accommodate group training sessions and public meetings.
In comparison to the existing building, the proposed structure will actually provide building and
parking setbacks that more closely reflect City standards than the existing building does. The
only exception is the building setback off of the west property line.
The new building will be four feet closer to the west property line than the existing building;
however, the proposed site layout shifts all of the parking to the east side of the building and
provides for 24' of green space between the new building and the west property line. City Code
allows parking and drive aisle setbacks of only five feet but the architect has acknowledged the
residential use to the west and limited parking/drive aisle activity to the east side of the building.
/oS
Planning Report — Variance
December 18, 1997
Page 3
APPLICANT'S ESTIMATE OF HARDSHIP
The hardship stated in this case is the unique shape of the parcel of land and the need to
maximize the efficiency of resources. The physical limitations of the site dictate a multi-level
structure which, in turn, results in setback issues.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION
The architect has designed a development plan that not only fits an odd shaped parcel but also
minimizes the functional impact to the adjoining future residential use to the west. In addition,
the building and parking setbacks are increased in most cases from those that exist today with the
new design of the Fire Administration facility.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
To approve or deny a 26' building setback Variance for the future Fire Administration Building
to be located at 3795 Pilot Knob Road.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Eagan
Municipal Center
3830 Pilot Knob Road
Eagan, MN 55122-1897
Re: Brown Property ("Pinetree Pass'j additional revisions to the "active
park" area included in the Preliminary Plat application. Rezoning of
approximately 57.36 acres to R-1 and approximately 15.30 acres to
Public Park. 127 lots.
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
Thank you for accepting my request for a continuance of this matter to the December
16, 1997 city council meeting. We would like you each to know that Lundgren Bros. is
very committed to providing the city of Eagan with a quality neighborhood community
Phone 612.47that will serve the existingd futitill. At the timed
Fax 612.473.7440101 anfuture citizenry wee same we neeto try
and ensure its financial success. We sincerely hope we can receive your support for
935 East Wayzata Boulevard this latest revision.
Wayzata, Minnesota 55391
We continue to be very concerned about the economic feasibility of this proposal. We
Builder License No. OW1413 do not think it to be prudent for us to seek an approval from the city for a plan that
ultimately will not be built. To sacrifice everyone's time obtaining an approval for
something that we cannot live with would be senseless. So we have spent a
considerable amount of time coming up with another revision to the park plan. We
think it results in a far better overall design and we hope you agree.
You may recall, in my presentation to the city council at the December 3, 1997
meeting I said that compared to the proposed plan, the alternate that depicted a cul
de sac in the northeast portion of the Brown property was not economically feasible
for Lundgren Bros. This is due primarily to a couple of factors. First, the northern cul
de sac option sacrifices a many good lots and increases the number of poor quality
lots by at least three. In order to sell these lots along Cliff Road each lot will need to
be sold at a loss. We expect each lot will lose approximately $20,000. So adding
three more Cliff Road lots equals a $60,000 loss. It also will likely result in lower
priced homes being built on those lots. This affects the ability of selling the lots
across the street from them. Second, the estimated additional construction cost of
building the cul de sac would be approximately $83,000. The total of these two items
equals $143,000 additional cost. Thirdly, having a design that has so much street
frontage (about 800 ft.) along the park, decreases the efficiency of distributing the cost
of putting in the street, utilities, etc. among the lots. It's difficult at this time to assign a
cost to this. Today we received clarification that it is not a requirement for Lundgren
Bros. to grade the active park area, so this item is not listed.
\\FSI\SYS\USER\SHARE\LAND\EAGAN\Brown\Councilres2.doc
We believe the revised active park plan is better for many reasons:
1. It offers a way to save the trees.
2. It provides for a 8.7 active park area accessible to all.
3. It moves the park parking lot away from the neighbors.
4. It continues to meet the park dedication requirements.
5. It still provides the items Park and Recreation wants.
6. It provides the public visibility to the park from Cliff Road.
7. It distributes some of the more active park uses a bit further from the quiet
enjoyment of the homes in the neighborhood. Road access, vehicle parking,
sidewalks and trails continue to provide vehicle and pedestrian linkage throughout
and to the park.
8. It retains more higher quality lots for homes, resulting in higher property values.
9. It retains the 10.9 acres of passive park area in the middle of the neighborhood.
10. It utilizes high and dry land for park that isn't the best suited for home sites.
11. It eliminates the extra cost of $143,000 attributable to the cul de sac option.
12. It is economically feasible for Lundgren Bros.
We hope you agree with these reasons and find the revised plan as acceptable as we
do. We believe this revised plan provides a wintwin situation for all.
Thank you very much for your consideration on this matter.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mayor Eagan,
My husband, Paymon Najafzadeh, spoke at the Dec. 3rd City Council meeting to ask that the
parking lot for the proposed Pinetree Pass Park not be located next to our home. He was
grateful for the opportunity to voice our concern. I am writing to request that you, the City
Council, and the Parks planning people look at other options for placement of the parking lot.
Paymon did a great deal of research prior to the meeting. He called three real estate agents who
all said that a parking lot next to our home would greatly reduce the value our property. He
visited many Eagan parks to see other parking lot situations. He did not see any parking lots
located immediately next to homes. We are also writing to Ken Vraa with our ideas on other
locations to consider.
This issue is extremely important to us. As you can imagine, we, do not want live next to a noisy
parking lot and have to deal with all that it would bring. If the parking lot is built next to our
home, we feel it will be grossly unfair.
Thank you for your consideration to this matter.
Sincerely,
(l

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: DECEMBER 12,1997
SUBJECT: 1998-2002 CIP PART H -VEHICLES & EQUIPMENT
Staff has spent a considerable amount of time reviewing and analyzing historical and future needs
and related funding for City vehicles and equipment. The City Council has provided staff a great
deal of flexibility in determining actual purchases within a pre -determined total allocation. New
equipment which increases the fleet or changes services has been given special scrutiny by both the
staff and City Council.
Part II of the Capital Improvement Program has been designated to provide for vehicles and
equipment used to carry out City services. Beginning in 1993, a departmental allocation system
totaling $500,000 has been used as a limiting budget factor. This allocation was made as follows:
Since these allocations were implemented based on historical expenditures, have not been
adjusted for inflation and do not reflect changing needs or priorities, concerns have arisen and
staff is recommending a change to the system. Enterprise operations, including water, sanitary
sewer and storm drainage/water quality, purchase equipment directly and are not subject to this
allocation. Purchases, however, are held to the same review standard.
Purchases of new equipment (not replacement items) to meet expanding service needs caused by
growth and the more costly items such as front end loaders and fire pumpers have been
particularly difficult to deal with in this system.

Since these allocations were implemented based on historical expenditures, have not been
adjusted for inflation and do not reflect changing needs or priorities, concerns have arisen and
staff is recommending a change to the system. Enterprise operations, including water, sanitary
sewer and storm drainage/water quality, purchase equipment directly and are not subject to this
allocation. Purchases, however, are held to the same review standard.
Purchases of new equipment (not replacement items) to meet expanding service needs caused by
growth and the more costly items such as front end loaders and fire pumpers have been
particularly difficult to deal with in this system.
At the November 25 special meeting, staff presented a modified approach which would have
divided Part II into three (3) sub -parts and removed departmental allocations. It also would have
increased the annual funding to respond to the problems noted above.
The Council became concerned about what appeared to be a return to the previous system of
reviewing each request and being asked to make detailed analyses of equipment needs. The staff
appreciates the confidence of the Council that these decisions can be processed more efficiently
at the staff level in the context of City Council determined annual allocations and policy
parameters.
To address these concerns and provide a spending expectation for 1998 and subsequent years,
staff is suggesting a population and inflation increase to the original $500,000 annual allocation
which started in 1993. The actual calculation is as follows:
Based on these assumptions, which seem quite reasonable, the 1998 allocation is $651,198. A
retroactive application of these assumptions, which also seems reasonable, generates a balance of
$312,794 for consideration. Staff is confident that this balance added to the 1998 allocation
would allow the necessary vehicle and equipment purchase to put this system back on track.
Further, with the subsequent population and inflation increases, the system provides flexibility to
meet the City's needs and to stay on track unless a significant change in service delivery is made.
For example, a full blown winter trail maintenance program would still cause difficulties.
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council approve this methodology and that staff be
directed to prioritize the City-wide allocation for 1998 and subsequent years along with a method
of funding. The funding will continue to be a combination of the ad valorem tax levy, equipment
certificates and fund balance. The overall objective remains to keep vehicle and equipment
purchases on a pay-as-you-go basis. Equipment certificates and the fund balance have unique
applications, for example, for large one-time or non-recurring situations, and will be reviewed on
a case-by-case basis.
Assuming City Council approval of the methodology, the following equipment is under
consideration by the management team for purchase in 1998:

December 16, 1997 Eagan City Council Meeting
NEW BUSINESS
A. BURNSVILLE/EAGAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
1998 BUDGET
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To approve or deny the 1998 Burnsville/Eagan Telecommunications Commission budget.
FACTS:
t The cities of Burnsville and Eagan jointly fund the Burnsville/Eagan Telecommunications
Commission budget from the member cities retained franchise fees on an annual basis.
♦ The budget is presented in the same format (including a General Budget and Local
Programming Budget) as in previous years. The local programming budget will be
incorporated into the local access budget, as a part of the transfer of that responsibility from
the Company to the Cities. Negotiations are ongoing in that regard. At the conclusion of
negotiations, a revised local programming/local access budget will be presented for Council
consideration.
♦ Not including the remainder of the local access budget, the proposed Telecommunications
Commission Budget shows a slight decrease from 1997. It includes modest inflationary and
cost of living increases offset by reductions in professional services. This reflects the fact
that the bulk of the work for franchise renewal analysis was budgeted for in 1997.

Agenda Information Memo
December 16, 1997 Eagan City Council Meeting
B. INITIATION OF A REQUEST FOR SPECIAL LEGISLATION
ALLOWING AN INCREASE TO THE NUMBER OF ON -SALE LIQUOR LICENSES
AVAILABLE TO BE ISSUED
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To approve or deny the initiation of a request for Special Legislation allowing an increase to the
number of on -sale liquor licenses to be issued in the City of Eagan.
FACTS:
♦ Recent growth in the hospitality industry has created increased demand for the City's allocation
for on -sale liquor licenses. The number of licenses available within a community is based in
part on population. Absent Special Legislation, the State of Minnesota uses decennial census
figures to establish the number of licenses available. The City previously received an
authorization through Special Legislation to recognize its ongoing population growth to
increase liquor licenses to the current number of 26.
♦ The City is currently approaching the adjusted limit of 26 licenses. It is unlikely that certain
types of hospitality businesses or full-service hotels will continue to locate in the City if the
limit is reached and no additional licenses are available.
♦ The City has recently received the Convention & Visitors Bureau report suggesting that
additional growth in the full-service hotel market can be expected.
In anticipation of this business item, staff has notified all current holders of liquor licenses
within the City.
ATTACHMENTS:
♦ Letter to license holders on page �.
City of aciga 1
Dear Mr. Goodman:
As an item of new business at its regular meeting on December 16, 1997, the Eagan
City Council will be considering the initiation of a request for special legislation allowing
an increase to the number of on -sale liquor licenses available to be issued in Eagan.
The State Legislature controls the number of liquor licenses which may be issued in any
City. The limit is based primarily on a base plus population. With Eagan's rapid growth
rate, the formula has not kept pace with the demand. Eagan currently has authorization
to issue 26 on -sale liquor licenses and the 23rd is on this same agenda for approval.
Without special legislation there can be no increase until after the 2000 census.
Given the phenomenal success of the hospitality industry and continued hotel
development in the community, the City Council would like additional flexibility with
license availability.
It is important to note that the City is not recruiting new restaurants and is simply trying
to be in position to meet the market place demand. The actual issuance of licenses will
continue to be determined by the same standards and expectations upon which your
license was issued.
I am sending this letter to you and all other on -sale liquor license holders as a courtesy
SO you are aware of the City Council agenda item.
Sincerely,

ADVISORY PLANNING CONMISSION
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - CITY OF EAGAN
Commission Chair Heyl opened the next public hearing of the evening regarding
an Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 11 entitled "Land Use Regulations (Zoning)" by
adding Section 11.10, Subd. 32 and by amending Section 11.20, Subds. 16, 18 and 22
regarding adult establishments and by adopting by reference Eagan City Code Chapter 1
and Section 11.99.
Senior Planner Ridley introduced this item. Mr. Ridley highlighted the information
presented in his memorandum dated November 20, 1997. Mr. Ridley discussed the
elements of the proposed amendment to Chapter 11 to permit adult oriented entertainment
within certain designated zoning districts. Mr. Ridley noted that since the adult
entertainment establishments were required to be licensed, the licensing provisions which
had been reviewed by the Commission at its workshop on November 13, 1997, would be
contained in an amendment to Chapter 6 of the City Code, Licensing Provisions. Mr.
Ridley noted that the amendment to Chapter 6 as well as the action on the zoning districts
would be scheduled to be heard by the City Council at its meeting on December 16, 1997.
Mr. Ridley also noted that Member Segal had reviewed the proposed amendment and had
submitted modifications which were reviewed by the staff and City Attorney's office and
found to be acceptable.
Mary Olson, a business owner in the industrial district expressed deep concerns
regarding adult entertainment activity as a part of the City of Eagan. She stated her
concerns about employee safety and the negative impact that the elements associated with
adult entertainment would have on her property and the City in general. Ms. Olson
inquired of the Commission as to why the City is doing this.
Rudy Olson also spoke about his grave concern in allowing this type of activity in
the industrial areas.
Commission Chair Heyl explained that the purpose of the ordinance is to limit
where these types of businesses can be located and that the City is trying to narrow the
introduction of these business into the strictest time, place and manner conditions as is
legally possible. Chair Heyl noted that it was the consensus of the Commission to remove
these types of establishments as far away from children as possible.
Mr. Olson inquired whether the City could outright ban these types of activities
from being established within the City. City Attorney Dougherty stated that the courts
have held that these type of activities have constitutional protection prohibiting the City
from outright banning them. Mr. Dougherty explained that the City's choice is to regulate
by time, place and manner how and under what conditions these activities may exist.

ADVISORY PLANNING CONMSSION
Member Segal noted that part of the intent of the ordinance is to not only restrict
adult use but not to allow them to be clustered so as to have a greater negative impact to
the community. Member Bakken expressed that while the City cannot constitutionally
stop these activities from occurring, it can adopt a restrictive ordinance.
Commission Chair Heyl noted that it is not the City's intention to invite or
encourage these activities but their hope is that the regulations may influence a
perspective enterprise to look elsewhere.
Member Segal moved, Member Burdorf seconded, a motion to adopt Member
Segal's modification to the language of the proposed ordinance.
All voted in favor.
Member Segal moved, member Burdorf seconded, a motion to recommend
approval of an Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 11 entitled "Land Use Regulations
(Zoning)" by adding Section 11. 10, Subd. 32 and by amending Section 11.20, Subds. 16,
18 and 22 regarding adult establishments and by adopting by reference Eagan City Code
Chapter 1 and Section 11.99.
All voted in favor.

MEMO
city of eagan
TO: CHAIR CARLA HEYL
ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBERS
FROM: MIKE RIDLEY, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE: NOVEMBER 20,1997
SUBJECT: ADULT USE REGULATIONS
As discussed at the Advisory Planning Commission workshop on November 13, 1997, changes
to the draft Adult Use Ordinance Amendment include: 1) a maximum of 350' or 25% of gross
floor area, whichever is less, for adult-oriented material in a given establishment; and 2) to
change adult uses in Light Industrial, Business Park, and Research and Development zoning
districts to "permitted" uses subject to the spacing requirements outlined. All other comments
from the workshop were shared with the City Attorney which resulted in the amendment
affecting the specific use districts where adult uses would be permitted and the addition of the
Adult Use Findings and Purpose being added to the General Provisions section of Chapter 11.
As discussed and recommended by Commission Member Segal, the licensing aspect of adult use
will be added to either Chapter 5 or 6. Because the licensing issue was not noticed, that
amendment will not take place as part of Tuesday night's action; however, proper notification
and process will be followed in the near future to establish that licensing process.
If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact me at 681-4689. Thank you.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EAGAN, MINNESOTA, AMENDING EAGAN CITY
CODE CHAPTER SIX ENTITLED "OTHER BUSINESS REGULATION AND LICENSING" BY
ADDING SECTION 6.49 REGARDING ADULT ESTABLISHMENTS AND BY ADOPTING BY
REFERENCE EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER 1 AND SECTION 6.99.
The City Council of the City of Eagan does ordain:
Section 1. Eagan City Code Chapter 6 is hereby amended by adding Section 6.49, to read as
follows:
Sec. 6.49. Adult Establishments.
A. Findings and purpose.
Minnesota State Attorney General's Office and the Cities of St. Paul, Minnesota;
Indianapolis, Indiana; Phoenix, Arizona; Seattle, Washington; Houston, Texas; and Los Angeles,
California, have conducted studies of the impact of adult establishments on their respective
communities. Based on these studies and the information received at the public hearings on this
issue, the Eagan City Council finds:
Residential neighborhoods located within close proximity to adult theaters,
bookstores and other adult establishments experience increased crime rates (sex-
related crimes in particular), lowered property values, increased transiency,
neighborhood blight and potential health risks;
2. Adult establishments can have an adverse impact on adjacent commercial uses;
3. The adverse impacts which adult establishments have on surrounding areas
diminish as the distance from the adult establishments increases;
4. Many members of the public perceive areas within which adult establishments are
located as less safe than other areas which do not have such uses;
Adult establishments can exert a dehumanizing influence on persons attending
nearby places of worship; children attending family day care homes, group family
day care homes and child care centers; students attending schools; and people
using parks.
6. The concentration of adult establishments in one (1) area can have a substantially
detrimental effect on the area in which such businesses are concentrated and on the
overall quality of urban life. A cycle of decay can result from the concentration of
adult establishments. The presence of such businesses is perceived by others as an
indication that the area is deteriorating which can cause other businesses and
residents to move out of the vicinity. Declining real estate values, which can result
from the concentration of such businesses, erode the city's tax base and contribute
to a feeling that that section of the city is depressed.
7. Adult establishments can increase the risk of exposure to communicable diseases.
Experiences of other cities indicate that such businesses can facilitate the spread of
communicable diseases by virtue of the design and use of the premises, thereby
endangering not only the patrons of such establishments but also the general
public.
In order to minimize the detrimental effect adult establishments have on adjacent land
uses, and to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the city, the city council
adopts the following licensing regulations, recognizing that it has a great interest in the present
and future character of the city's residential and commercial neighborhoods. Adoption of these
regulations is not intended to unreasonably restrict the opportunity of adult establishments to
locate in the city.
B. Definitions.
For purposes of this article, these terms shall be defined as follows:

engaged in any of the following activities or which utilizes any of the following

EVALUATION OF REQUEST
Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The proposed subdivision is consistent with the existing
single family residential in the area and with the zoning designation.
Lots - Lot 1 is proposed to be 13,800 s.f and lot 2 is proposed to be 12,222 s.f. Both exceed the
minimum area requirement.
Setbacks - Lot 2 is of sufficient size and shape to be developed without setback variances.
Grading=/ Wetlands: The site slopes to the west and is lightly wooded. Minimal grading will be
needed to prepare Lot 2 for house construction and will be accomplished at time of building
permit for that lot.
There are no jurisdictional wetlands within this parcel.
Storm Draina.,ze - The storm sewer system currently in place will accommodate runoff from this
development.y
Water Quality: The development should be subject to a cash dedication based on the size of the
undeveloped lot for water quality.
Utilities: Existing sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size, depth, and capacity is
available within Sibley Hills Drive for service connection to the proposed house on Lot 2. The
existing house on Lot 1 takes sanitary sewer and water service from existing utilities in Rustic
Hills Drive and Skyline Drive.
Streets/Access/Circulation: Lot 1 currently takes street access onto Skyline Drive to the south.
Lot 2 is proposed to take public street access onto Rustic Hills Drive to the east.
Tree Preservation - There are 15 significant trees located on Lot 2. It appears, based on their
location, five crab trees will be removed during house construction. The large conifers located on
the site are in locations where no grading will be necessary. A tree preservation plan will be
required with the submission of a building permit.
Parks and Recreation - Parks and trails dedication should be fulfilled through a cash dedication.
SLTMAIARY/CONCLUSION

December 16,1997, Eagan City Council
F. PRELIMINARYSUBDIVISION AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
AMENDMENT — RAHN RIDGE THIRD ADDITION (NEW ULM
ENTERPRISES, INC.)
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
> To approve or deny a Preliminary Subdivision (Rahn Ridge Third Addition) consisting of
two lots on 2.42 acres currently platted as Lot 2, Block 1, Rahn Ridge Second Addition,
subject to the conditions listed in the Planning Commission minutes.
> To approve or deny a Planned Development Amendment to allow a 13,248 square foot
office building on proposed Lot 1 and off-site off-street parking as a principal use on
proposed Lot 2, Block 1, Rahn Ridge Third Addition. Approval of the Planned Development
Amendment will create a new Preliminary Planned Development for both Lots 1 and 2
subject to the conditions listed in the Planning Commission minutes.
FACTS:
> The proposed subdivision would create two lots of 1.4 acres (Lot 1) and one acre (Lot 2). A
13,248 square foot office building is proposed for Lot 1, and off-site off-street parking
serving the nearby Hilton Garden Inn and Holiday Inn Express hotels is proposed for Lot 2.
> The existing planned development for this property was approved and the agreement
executed in 1996. The owners have submitted two proposals this year for amending the
planned development and both included a smaller office building than was approved in 1996.
The first, to allow construction of a motel on the northerly portion of the site, was denied by
Council action on July 15, 1997. The second, to allow a medical/dental clinic on the
northerly portion of the site, was approved by Council action on October 21, 1997.
> The office building is proposed to be similar in architecture to the existing office building
south of this site.
> The Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 25, 1997. The APC
recommended approval of the Preliminary Subdivision and Planned Development
Amendment.
ISSUES:
> The proposed off-site parking does not satisfy the first condition in the ordinance, which
requires that the dominant parcel cannot physically accommodate the parking need of the
principal use (Hilton and Holiday Inn Express). Although the other conditions appear to be
met, staff remains concerned about security, pedestrian and property safety, and highest and
best use of the property.
��s
> The office use is consistent with the LB designation of the property. Outstanding items
include execution of cross easements for joint access and parking and submittal of a site
lighting plan.

ADVISORY PLANNING CONMESSION
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT &
PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - RAHN RIDGE ASSOCIATES
Commission Chair Heyl opened the next public hearing of the evening regarding a
Preliminary Subdivision of the 2.42 acre parcel into two lots and a Planned Development
Amendment to allow off-site, off-street parking as a principal use on one of the lots. The
property is currently platted as Lot 2, Block 1, Rahn Ridge 2nd Addition and is located at
the southwest corner of Rahn Way and Rahn Cliff Road in the NE'/4 of Section 31.
Senior Planner Ridley introduced this item. Mr. Ridley highlighted the information
presented in City staffs planning report dated November 19, 1997. Mr. Ridley noted the
background and history, the surrounding uses and the existing conditions of the subject
property. Mr. Ridley noted the staffs concerns regarding using proposed Lot 2, Block 1,
Rahn Ridge 3rd Addition as a parking lot for its principal use and its compatibility with
the surrounding area.
Randy Hedlund on behalf of the applicant explained the evolution of development
schemes for the property. Mr. Hedlund identified the need for parking in the surrounding
area and believed the parking would provide a service for the Holiday Inn Express and
Hilton Garden Inn.
Member Frank questioned the applicant about security and lighting for the parcel.
Joe Vogel on behalf of Holiday Inn Express stated that the applicant intended to comply
with City lighting requirements and that the hotels have a full-time security staff that
would patrol the parking lot. In response to a question by Member Burdorf, Mr. Vogel
indicated that the lot would be available for general parking by the public. However, the
- security staff will be able to monitor which cars are associated with the hotels and how
long they have been parked on site.
Member Burdorf inquired of staff as to the existence of other lots that are designed
for parking only. Mr. Ridley identified three existing lots that have been permitted by the
City.
Member Miller moved, Member Frank seconded, a motion to recommend approval
of a Preliminary Subdivision of the 2.42 acre parcel into two lots. The property is
currently platted as Lot 2, Block 1, Rahn Ridge 2nd Addition and is located at the
southwest corner of Rahn Way and Rahn Cliff Road in the NEV4 of Section 31, subject to

and retention are such that the site is suitable for the type of development or use
contemplated.
D. That the site physically is suitable for the proposed density of development.
E. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvement is not likely to cause
environmental damage.
F. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause
health problems.
G. That the design of the subdivision or the improvements will not conflict with easements
of record or with easements established by judgment of court.
H. That completion of the proposed development of the subdivision can be completed in a
timely manner so as not to cause an economic burden upon the City for maintenance,
repayment of bonds, or similar burden.
I. That the subdivision has been properly planned for possible solar energy system use
within the subdivision or as it relates to adjacent property. (Refer to City Handbook on
Solar Access).
That the design of public improvements for the subdivision is compatible and consistent
with the platting or approved preliminary plat on adjacent lands.
K. That the subdivision is in compliance with those standards set forth in that certain
document entitled "City of Eagan Water Quality Management Plan for the Gun Club
Lake Watershed Management Organization" which document is properly approved and
filed with the office of the City Clerk hereinafter referred to as the "Water Quality
Management Plan". Said document and all of the notations, references and other
information contained therein shall have the same force and effect as if fully set down
herein and is hereby made a part of this Chapter by reference and incorporated herein as
fully as if set forth herein at length. It shall be the responsibility of the City Clerk to
maintain the Water Quality Management Plan and make the same available to the
public."
The City Code allows off-site off-street parking as a principal use on a parcel with a conditional
use permit. Since this property is within a Planned Development, the request will be evaluated
using the same criteria as for a conditional use permit, but is considered a part of the
development proposal for this Planned Development. Performance standards that apply to the
evaluation of a conditional use permit for off site off-street parking are outlined in Section 11.10,
Subd. 12.1. These are reviewed more closely under the Evaluation of Request section of this
report.

City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subdivisions 4C and 4D provide the following regarding
conditional use permits:
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.
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.
BACKGROUNDIHISTORY
The subject site was originally a part of the Mission Hills South Planned Development (approved
June 1977 for a term of 15 years) that consisted of mixed residential and commercial land uses.
Although the PD has expired, the city has not taken action to terminate the agreement.
/ /r3
Planning Report — Rahn Ridge 3rd Addition
November 25, 1997
Paye 4
The southern portion of the PD consists of single family and duplex development. On
September 3, 1985, the City Council approved the Rahn Ridge preliminary plat for the Cedar
Ridge Church and 25 duplex lots within the PD. The remaining undeveloped property within the
PD (2.42 acre Lot 2, Block 1, Rahn Ridge 2nd Addition) was designated for Limited Business
uses and this portion of the PD is currently guided Limited Business in the city's Comprehensive
Guide Plan.
In May of 1996, an amendment to the Mission Hills South PD was approved. The amendment
called for two office buildings. As a result, a 11,800 s.f office building was constructed on Lot
1, Block 1, Rahn Ridge 2" Addition, and a 20,250 s.f office building was approved for this site
(Lot 2, Block 1, Rahn Ridge 2nd Addition) but has not been constructed.
Rahn Ridge Associates submitted a proposal in June of this year which included a subdivision of
the site into two parcels, an amendment to the PD to allow construction of a 38 -unit motel, and a
Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to CPD, Commercial Planned Development. The
Comprehensive Guide Plan and PD Amendments were denied, and consequently, the
Preliminary Subdivision that accompanied the request also was denied. Later, the owners
submitted a revised proposal that included a 6,000 s.f medical/dental clinic and a 13,248 s.f
office building which was approved by the City Council in October. If this latest proposal is
approved by the City, it would replace the previously approved plan.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is flat and the majority slopes gently to the south. The site was graded with previous
development and is open with no significant vegetation.
SURROUNDING USES
The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the
subject property:
North — Rahn Cliff Learning Center, pond, and Walgreen Drug Store, zoned Planned
Development (PD) and guided Commercial Planned Development (CPD)
South - Office building, zoned Planned Development (PD) and guided Limited Business (LB);
Residential, zoned Planned Development (PD) and guided D -II Mixed Residential
(0-6 units/acre); Kettle Park, zoned Public Facilities and guided Public.
East - Commercial including Dairy Queen, Holiday Inn Express and Green Mill, zoned
Planned Development (PD) and guided Commercial Planned Development (CPD).
West - Cedar Ridge Church, zoned Planned Development (PD) and guided Public Facilities.

EVALUATION OF REQUEST
Description of Request - A Preliminary Planned Development for this site was approved in 1996
and it amended the Mission Hills South Planned Development. The 1996 Preliminary Planned
Development identified a 20,250 s.f. office building to be constructed on this site. Subsequently,
a Final Planned Development Agreement was executed for this site, but construction has not
occurred. The applicants are proposing a Preliminary Subdivision of the 2.42 acre parcel into
two lots and a Planned Development Amendment to allow construction of a 13,248 square foot
office building on the northerly lot and a 115 -stall parking lot on the southerly lot that would
serve the nearby Holiday Inn Express and Hilton Garden Hotels. The Planned Development
Amendment proposes to amend the existing Final Planned Development on this site by creating a
new Preliminary Planned Development for both proposed Lots 1 and 2. If approved, the
previous plans for the medical/dental clinic and office building would be withdrawn.
Comvatibilit,,� with Surroundin Area — The adjacent properties east of this site are developed
with commercial uses including a hotel, restaurants and various retail and service facilities.
South of the site is an office building, park and single- and two-family residential development.
To the west is a church. For this site between higher intensity commercial development to the
east and the church and nearby residential uses west and south, the office and clinic uses appear
to be an appropriate transition consistent with the Limited Business designation of this property.
Preliminary Subdivision
Lots — The proposed subdivision consists of two lots and a total of 2.42 acres. The northerly lot,
Lot 1, is proposed to be 1.42 acres in area and Lot 2, the southerly lot, is proposed to be one acre.
Site Plan — The site plan shows a future 13,248 square foot office building on Lot 1, and a 115 -
stall parking lot on Lot 2. The building proposed for Lot 1 is of the same architectural style and
similar exterior materials as the existing adjacent office on Lot 1, Block 1, Rahn Ridge 2nd
Addition.
Setbacks — Although the Zoning Code does not have specific setback requirements for a Planned
Development, both buildings appear to meet or exceed standard setback requirements which
would be applied to the office use in other zoning districts. Parking areas satisfy the minimum
20 foot setback from the public right of way and five feet from side and rear property lines.
Landscaping — The preliminary landscape plan appears to provide adequate screening of parking
lot areas. The grading plan shows berming between the parking lot and the public streets. The
landscape plan should be revised to show grading contours. The proposed landscaping adjacent
to the public streets is almost exclusively evergreen trees and deciduous overstory trees. Staff
suggests that some of the trees be replaced with shrubs to provide some height variation.
Planning Report — Rahn Ridge 3' Addition
November 25, 1997
Page 6
The City Code requires that parking lots with 50 or more stalls must contain islands consisting of
not less than 5% of the parking lot area. The proposed parking lot does not incorporate islands
within the parking lot as required by City Code. This no -island design maximizes the number of
parking stalls, reduces the cost of the parking lot, and facilitates snow plowing. The purpose of
this provision is to visually break up expanses of asphalt, to provide safe and efficient traffic
movement and to define rows of parking. The plans should be revised to include parking lot
islands as required by City Code.
Grading /Wetlands - The preliminary grading plan is acceptable. A majority of the site gently
slopes toward the south. The site was graded with previous development and is open. There are
no jurisdictional wetlands within the development site.
Storm Drainage/Water Quality; - The preliminary storm drainage plan is acceptable. Storm sewer
was stubbed to serve this site with the Rahn Ridge 2nd Addition development. This
development is located in drainage basin A, upstream of Cliff Lake. A portion of the
development will discharge runoff to an existing detention basin north of the proposed
development, with the remainder discharged through a storm sewer system to Pond AP -44 to the
south that already receives runoff from I -35E. Because of the small size of the development, a
cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding is recommended.
Utilities - The preliminary utility plan is acceptable. Sanitary sewer and water main are available
for this development from Rahn Cliff Road.
Streets/Access/Circulation - Access for Lot 1 is proposed through a driveway at the southwest
corner of the lot onto Rahn Cliff Road and through a driveway at the northwest corner of the lot
onto Rahn Way. Access to Lot 2 is proposed through a driveway to Rahn Cliff Road which is
shared with the existing office building. The southerly shared access will also provide driveway
access for the future expansion of the existing church parking lot directly to the west. Two
parking lot connections between proposed Lots 1 and 2 are provided.
Easements - A joint parking easement is required between a) proposed Lots 1 and 2, and b)
proposed Lot 2, and the Hilton and Holiday Inn properties. A joint access easement also should
be provided between proposed Lots 1 and 2, Rahn Ridge 3' Addition and Lot 1, Block 1, Rahn
Ridge 2nd Addition. These easements should be submitted to the city attorney for review and
approval prior to final subdivision approval and should be recorded with the plat.
Tree Preservation — There are no significant trees or woodlands on the property.
Parks and Recreation — Park and trail dedications should be fulfilled through a cash dedication.
Planned Development Amendment
Proposed Use — The applicants propose a 13,248 square foot office building on the northerly lot,
and a 115 -stall parking lot on the southerly lot that would serve the nearby Holiday Inn Express
l FL
Planning Report — Rahn Ridge 3`d Addition
November 25, 1997

and Hilton Garden Hotels. Staff has concerns regarding the parking lot as a principal use,
compatibility with the surrounding area (i.e. security, lighting, highest and best use, etc.) and for
the safety of pedestrian movement to and from the lot to either of the hotels.
Emmett Erpelding, General Partner of Holiday Inn Express & Suites, and 50% owner of Hilton
Garden Inn (New Ulm Enterprises, Inc.) has submitted a letter explaining their proposal to
establish off site off-street parking on proposed Lot 2. According to the applicant, changes in
airport facilities policies have created increasing demand for long-term parking outside the
airport. The proposed parking lot is an expansion of services provided by the two hotels. The
hotels would provide shuttle service to and from the airport to customers who also stay at the
hotels before or after a flight. It is the applicant's belief that this expansion of service would
benefit the two hotels, and that the consequent success of the hotels would benefit the city and
offset any loss to the city created by foregoing a building on this one -acre parcel.
Parking — Standard parking requirements for offices are one stall for every 150 square feet of net
leasable space for the office. Based on a leasable area of 10,598 square feet, 71 parking stalls are
required and 76 are provided for Lot 1. Lot 2 is a parking lot and has 115 stalls.
Building Elevations/Architecture —The proposed building is one story. The architecture consists
primarily of face brick, a gabled roof, and asphalt shingles. For consistency within the Planned
Development, the exterior materials should be compatible with that of the office building on Lot
1, Block 1, Rahn Ridge 2nd Addition. No rooftop equipment is shown on the plans.
Trash Enclosure — Outdoor trash enclosures are not shown on the site plan. All trash and
recyclable materials must be stored inside the principal buildings or within an attached trash
enclosure that satisfies the recently adopted city code requirements.
Signage — Detailed sign plans were not submitted. The site plan shows two free-standing signs
on Lot 1. Only one ground sign is allowed. Since no building is proposed for Lot 2, no signs
can be located on Lot 2. All signs should comply with City Sign Code requirements including
those for location, size, setbacks, and height.
Site Lighting/Security— The site plan shows wall -mounted light fixtures on the building, and
pole -mounted lighting for the parking lot. Details on the site lighting with regard to pole height,
fixture type and photometrics were not included with this submittal. These details including a
photometric lighting plan should be submitted prior to Final Planned Development approval. For
security reasons, lighting should not be less than one footcandle throughout the parking lot.
Parking lot light fixtures should be shielded and directed away from adjacent property.
Staff has some concerns about security at the parking lot, both for people's safety and for
protection of property, particularly since this is intended to be a long-term parking lot. The
applicant did not address what security measures other than lighting, if any, would be employed.
Enclosing the lot with a security fence seems impractical because of the shared accesses with
Planning Report — Rahn Ridge 3" Addition
November 25, 1997
Paize 8
adjoining lots. The applicants have not indicated that there would be regular monitoring of the
lot by a hotel employee or a parking lot attendant.
Performance Standards for Off Site Off -Street Parking as a Principal Use — Following is a point -
by -point assessment of how the applicant's proposal complies with the performance standards
listed in Section 11. 10, Subd. 12.1.C. In the following, the "servient parcel" is deemed to be
proposed Lot 2, and the "dominant parcels" are the existing Holiday Inn Express and Hilton
Garden hotels.
a. The dominant parcel, which shall be served by the off-site off-street parking or off-site
outdoor storage on the servient parcel, cannot physically accommodate the parking or
storaLe needs of the principal use on the dominant parcel. Both the Hilton Garden Hotel
and the Holiday Inn Express developments meet City Code parking requirements on site.
b. The parcel on which the off-site off-street parking or off-site outdoor storaize is located and
the dominant parcel which the off-site off-street larking or outdoor storage services shall
be within the same zoninp. districts. All three properties, the two hotels and the proposed
off-site parking lot, are zoned Planned Development, however, they are not within the same
Planned Development. The City Ordinance allows off-site off-street parking as a
conditional use in Limited Business zoning district and this site is designated for LB uses
within the Planned Development.
C. The servient parcel on which the off site off-streetaIa rking or off-site outdoor storage area
is located is a reasonable distance not to exceed 660 feet at the closest point from the lot
line of the dominant lot to be served b�the_off site off-street parking or off site outdoor
storage area. The proposed Lot 2 is approximately 340 feet from the Hilton property at its
closest point, and about 330 feet from the Holiday Inn Express property at its closest point.
However, it should be noted that all three sites are separated by public rights-of-way, and
the proposed off-site parking is separated from the two hotels by Rahn Cliff Road, a
neighborhood collector street.
d. The off site off-street parking area shall meet the requirements set forth in section 11.10.
Subd. 12. herein. The proposed parking area meets the requirements of Sec. 11. 10, Subd.
12 as follows: The parking lot will be bituminous surface with concrete curb and gutter.
The drainage plan submitted is acceptable. Four light poles will be located around the lot
perimeter. Details of the pole height and fixture type have not been provided, but lighting
should be shaded or directed so as to avoid glare to adjacent properties and the public right-
of-way. The parking lot is landscaped along the east and west perimeter. The required
75% screening from the public right of way appears to be provided along Rahn Cliff Road
through a mix of deciduous overstory trees, evergreen trees and shrubs (lilacs).
Landscaping along the south boundary is not provided because of the joint driveway, and
landscaping along the north boundary is provided on the adjacent lot which is proposed to
be developed with an office building.
Planning Report — Rahn Ridge 3" Addition

Page 9
e. The off-site outdoor storage area shall meet the re uirements set forth in Section 11.10
(1 excent
proposed use s parkin and not thns governing building or height restrictions. Since the
g storage, this provision does not apply.
f. Off-site off-street parking and off -site -outdoor storage on the servient arcel shall have
-fewer 12arkin& spaces, less area. and less outdoor storage area than the dominant parcel.
The proposed 115 -stall parking lot has fewer parking spaces than either of the two hotels.
The one -acre lot area of the servient parcel is smaller in size than either of the lots
containing the two hotels. The provision regarding outdoor storage does not apply.
g. Off site outdoor storage on the servient arcel shall be bermed and landscaped on sides
abhttinpublic right-of-way and residentially zoned districts. The combined berming and
landscaping shall be a 6 foot tall screen that is 75% opaque abutting public right-of-way
and 100% opaque abutting residential zoning districts or residential uses Since the
proposed use is for parking and not outdoor storage, this provision does not apply.
However, an evaluation of the landscaping and screening provided is appropriate. The area
between the proposed parking lot and Rahn Cliff Road is bermed to a 2-3 foot height and
the landscape plan shows plantings consisting of deciduous overstory and evergreen trees,
with some shrubs and appears to provide the standard 75% screening from the public right-
of-way. The lot abuts church property to the west, but is visible from nearby residences.
The plans show the west boundary of the lot is landscaped with a mix of evergreen trees
and deciduous ornamental trees.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION
The applicants are requesting a Preliminary Subdivision for two lots on 2.42 acres, and a
Planned Development Amendment to allow construction of a 13,248 square foot office
building and off -site -off-street parking as a principal use at the southwest corner of Rahn Cliff
Road and Rahn Way.
The proposed office use is consistent with the Limited Business designation of the property. The
site serves as a transition between the major commercial node to the east and north and the
church and residential uses to the west and south.
Although the office appears to meet standard zoning requirements that would be applied in other
zoning districts, staff remains concerned about the proposed off-site parking lot as a principal use
for reasons of security, lighting, and pedestrian and property safety, as well as for considerations
of highest and best use for the property.

Pam Dudziak
Planning Commission
City of Eagan
Dear Pam,
By this letter, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites and the new Hilton Garden Inn
are requesting 1 acre of off site parking directly north of the Hedlund Engineering
building.
The reason for this request is two -fold. Number one, there has been major change in
our demand because the airport has had a major parking rate increase and are
encouraging airport users not to park at the airport. We would like to satisfy this
demand without creating parking problems for our own facilities. We would run
scheduled van service either on the one half hour, or on the hour picking the guests up
at the lot and dropping them back at the lot. To use the lot the guest would stay at the
hotel , and use the hotel lot during there stay, and use the attached lot for the time they
have flown out. The lot would be well lit, but we would be as friendly to the residential
area as possible. The Hilton and Holiday Inn Express would be responsible for the
control, safety, security, and up -keep of the lot.
Number 2, in our original Hilton plans, we proposed 32 additional rooms and your
Planning Department recommended we wait until the parking needs are established
at the Hilton. This would resolve this problem. The new addition would cost about one
and a half million dollars, which in turn generates more real estate taxes than a
building on the same one acre lot. The earliest we would be doing this would be in the
year 1999.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Regards,
Foe—

December 16,1997 Eagan City Council Meeting
G. PARK CENTER 61" ADDITION - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION &
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT
ACTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED:
• To approve or deny a Preliminary Subdivision (Park Center 6b Addition) for one lot
located on approximately 10 acres located north of Cliff Road, and west Cliff Lake Road
in the SE 1/4 of Section 30.
• To approve or deny a Planned Development Amendment to change the existing
planned development from retail to a 16 screen, 3,212 seat movie theater located on
proposed Lot 1, Block 1, Park Center 6`h Addition, north of Cliff Road, and west of Cliff
Lake Road in the SE 1/4 of Section 30.
FACTS:
• The Advisory Planning Commission (APC) recommended approval of this item at its
November 25, 1997 meeting. No one from the public spoke at the public hearing.
ISSUES:
The proposed theater has 16 screens, 3,212 seats and has proposed 726 seats. City Code
requires a parking ratio of 1 space per 3 seats. In this case, the developer is requesting a
deviation from the City Code and has proposed a parking ratio of 1 space per 4.4 seats.
If the area designated for proof of parking is utilized an additional 80 parking spaces
would be available which will reduce the ratio to 1 space for each 4 seats.
The Dakota County HRA owns the proof of parking area. At this time they have no
development plans for that area and are in the process of negotiating a sale or lease of
the space to Centres Group.
• The height of the proposed marquis is 60'. The maximum height in a CSC - Community
Shopping Center district is 35'.

CENTRES GROUP EAGAN
Commission Chair Heyl opened the next public hearing of the evening regarding a
a Planned Development Amendment to change the existing planned development from
retail to a movie theater, and a Preliminary Subdivision (Park Center 6th Addition)
consisting of one lot on 9.9 acres, located on Outlot D, Park Center, and Lot 1, Block 1,
Park Center 5th Addition, north of Cliff Road, west of Cliff Lake Road in the SE 1/4 of
Section 30.
Planner Tyree introduced this item. Ms. Tyree highlighted the information
presented in City staffs planning report dated November 20, 1997. Ms. Tyree noted the
background and history, the surrounding uses and the existing conditions of the subject
property. Ms. Tyree highlighted the proposed 60 -foot height of the marquee to the theater
and further addressed the proposed parking in relation to the City Code's requirement for
the number of seats in the theater. Ms. Tyree noted that the Dakota County Housing and
Redevelopment Authority expressed an interest in leasing an area of its property lying
northwest of the theater for use by the applicant for proof of parking.
John Payton of Westwood Professional Group, Kaare Birkeland of Center Group
(the Developer) and the development's architect, Jack Amdahl, addressed the Commission
regarding the proposed layout, design and scale of the building and the introduction of a
movie theater along this section of Cliff Road.
Member Burdorf questioned whether the rear part of the parcel would be ased for
customer parking and how would the parking area be lit. Mr. Payton noted that a surface
mounted light on the roof of the cinema would be utilized to illuminate the parking area
for employees as well as the overflow of customers.
Member Burdorf complimented the site design for traffic flow but questioned staff
whether the City perceived problems with left-hand turns into the site from Cliff Lake
Road. Design Engineer John Gorder indicated that the City does not anticipate traffic
problems due to the off-peak turning movements associated with the theater.
Member Frank inquired of the City staff whether the increase in landscaping
required on the site would off set the tree mitigation identified as a result of the removal
of significant trees on the site. Ms. Tyree stated that under the City Code tree
preservation is in addition to landscaping.

BACKGROUNDMISTORY
The Park Center Planned Development was created in 1989 and was planned for 86,000 s.f of
retail. Since that time the Planned Development has undergone a few amendments. In 1993 it was
amended to accommodate a fast food restaurant (Taco Bell) and an 82,100 s.f. retail strip center and
a 4,500 s.f. Class I restaurant. Most recently, TCF Bank amended the planned development in
1995, the project included a TCF Bank (5,300 s.f), a 195 -seat restaurant; and two retail buildings
totaling 67,810 s.f.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site (Outlot D, Park Center Addition) has been previously graded and is relatively flat with no
wetlands. Outlot D is the last undeveloped portion of the Park Center Planned Development.

SURROUNDING USES: The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan
designations surround the subject property:
North - Rahn Park; zoned and guided P - Park.
South - Taco Bell, Walgreen's, vacant commercial property; zoned PD; guided CPD.
East - Cliff Lake Shopping Center; zoned PD; guided CPD.
West - Eagan Senior Housing; zoned R-4; guided D -III; and Blockbuster Video and Boston
Market zoned PD; guided CPD.
EVALUATION OF REQUEST
Preliminary Subdivision:
Lots - The proposal includes one lot of 9.9 acres.
Setbacks - The proposed building and parking meet all required setbacks
Gradin. ` Wetlands - The preliminary grading plan is acceptable with some modifications. The
site was graded with previous development and is generally open except along the northwest
corner of the property. The site generally slopes to the northwest.
The preliminary grading plan shows a retaining wall along the north edge of the development. A
portion of this wall is proposed within the drainage and utility easement of an existing storm
sewer pipe. The proposed retaining wall should be located at the north property line outside of
the drainage and utility easement.
A three-foot high landscape berm should also be constructed within the parking setback areas
along Cliff Road and Cliff Lake Road to screen the parking lot for the development.
There area no jurisdictional wetlands located on this site.
Storm Drainage - The preliminary storm drainage plan is acceptable. The developer is proposing
to connect and internal storm sewer system to the existing storm sewer along the north edge of
the site. This storm sewer flows to Pond AP -25 northeast of the development.
Water Quality - Water quality requirements for this parcel have been previously met through the
construction of a detention basin, which is designed to serve this portion of the Park Center Planned
Development as well as other commercial developments east of the site.
Utilities - The preliminary utility plan is acceptable. Sanitary sewer and water main are available
at the west edge of the site for connection and extension within the development.
Im-
Planning Report - Park Center 6h Addition
November 25, 1997
Paae 4
Streets/Access/Circulation - Public street access is proposed from three locations: one from Cliff
Lake Road to the east and two from Park Center Drive to the west. Internal circulation to the
existing Taco Bell restaurant is provided through shared parking areas and service drives along
the south and east edges of the site.
Easements/Permits/Riizht-of-War- - The Dakota County Plat Commission has reviewed the
preliminary plat and is requiring a half right-of-way dedication of 100 feet along Cliff Road
(Dakota County Road 32). The Commission is also requiring restricted access be dedicated
along the entire length of the plat adjacent to Cliff Road.
The developer should provide a public sidewalk easement for the revised sidewalk alignment in
the northeast corner of the development.
Tree Preservation - The tree inventory for this site indicates that there are 24 significant trees on
site. These trees are all located in the extreme NW comer of the property. Site preparation will
result in the removal of all 24 trees.
Tree mitigation is required. According to the Replacement Schedule, 42 Category B trees are
required or a cash mitigation. The Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission
recommended that the tree preservation mitigation requirements be fulfilled through the installation
of trees onto City property.
Because the proof of parking area is not located within the boundaries of the proposed subdivision,
this area was not considered by the developer in the tree preservation plan. The City Forester
examined the site and made the following determination. The proof of parking site contains 39
significant trees and 1 specimen tree (one oak measuring 37") development of this area will result
in the loss of 34 trees. Mitigation for this tree removal calculates to 56 category B trees or cash
mitigation.
Parks and Recreation - The Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
(APrC) recommended a cash park and trail dedication at its regular meeting November 17, 1997.
Planned Development Amendment:
Although the site is zoned PD, the proposed and existing uses in the area most closely reflect the
CSC zoning district. For purposes of reviewing this request, staff will review the proposal against
CSC requirements.
Regal Cinemas is proposing to locate a 16 -screen, 3,212 seat movie theater on the proposed Lot 1,
Block 1, Park Center 0" Addition. Regal Cinemas is headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee. The
company presently has 1,131 screens in 24 theaters and is located in 22 states. The company has
400 screens currently under construction and has 1,000 slated for the next year to year and a half.

Planning Report - Park Center 6t' Addition
November 25, 1997

Building Design - The building has been designed to match the existing brick buildings in the
Planned Development (i.e. Blockbuster, Taco Bell, and Boston Market). The front entry of the
building faces southeast. The trash and recycling enclosure is located on the northeast side of the
building. Elevation drawings submitted by the developer show that all rooftop mechanical
equipment will be screened from view.
The proposed one -level (32.8' in height), 64,232 s.f. building is shown using several colors of brick
on all four sides of the building. The marquis has been designed using a painted EIFS and neon.
The main entry is glass from floor to ceiling.
The main feature of the building is the marquis. Its highest point is 60' from the finished floor
elevation of 914'. The proposed 60' elevation exceeds the maximum height in any commercial
district in the City. The maximum height permitted in a CSC - Community Shopping Center
district.
Parking - City Code requires a parking ratio of 1 space per 3 seats, 1,070 spaces. The applicant is
suggesting a parking ratio of 1 space per 4.4 seats or 726 parking spaces. This is a deviation of 344
parking spaces. When Mann Movie Theater in Town Center was approved, it was also developed
at a ratio less than 1:3. Additional parking was provided by using cross parking easements with
Town Center Shoppes, across the street. No additional parking was required and it appears after
several years of operation, that the ratio is more than sufficient for the nine movie theaters at that
location.
The applicant is suggesting that, similar to the Mann Theater development, a proof of parking area
be identified on the plan on the rear side of the building. If utilized the parking ratio drops from
1:4.4 (726 spaces) to 1:4.0 (806 spaces), increasing the overall parking by 80 spaces.

Parking spaces proposed by developer
Parking spaces provided including proof area

The proof of parking area is owned by the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA) and would be leased to the theater site if it were determined that additional parking spaces
are required. Because the site is guided for senior housing, requiring less parking than a typical
multiple family development, it appears that the parking uses are compatible. According to the.
HRA, at full development (Phase I & II) the senior -housing site never intended on using this area.
The developer should provide a copy for review and approval by the City Attorney a copy of the
lease agreement that authorizes the use of the HRA property for parking purposes.
aay
Planning Report - Park Center 6" Addition
November 25, 1997
Page 6
In addition to the deviation in the amount of parking, the developer is proposing 9' wide stalls
instead of the 10' wide stalls, which has been the City's policy. The 9' stall is consistent with that
approved for the Mann Theater.
If approved, the deviation (344 parking spaces and 10' wide stall size) from the strict code
interpretation will be noted in the Planned Development Agreement and would be part of the
approved documents of the agreement. Therefore no variance approval is needed.
Landscaping - The landscape plan is not acceptable. The landscape plan should be revised to show
screening that will meet the intent of the landscape ordinance requiring that all parking areas shall
be screened from public streets and adjacent differing land uses (senior housing) in a way to
achieve 75% opacity year round at maturity.
The buffering between the senior housing and the proposed theater on the west property line is
adequate to serve as screening, but a mixture of species should be used to prevent a complete loss in
the case of a disease affecting one species. Due to the easement in that location some of the
landscaping should be removed and relocated. It appears that the landscaping on Cliff Road and
Cliff Lake Road does not currently meet the 75% opacity requirement and could benefit by the
relocation of some of the Spruce and Pines needed to be relocated from the west property line.
All plant material listed in the Plant List should meet the City's minimum size requirements.
Trails/ Sidewalks - Trails and sidewalks have been added to the site to encourage easy pedestrian
access to the site. Continuations of trail and sidewalk segments located within the parking lot
should be striped and painted as shown on the site plan.
Signage -
Pylon Sign: A sign agreement was entered into September 18, 1990 for the overall Park Center
Planned Development. It allowed four signs to be located along Cliff Road. Three of the pylons
have been constructed for Blockbuster, Boston Market, and Taco Bell. The remaining pylon sign
location is 230' east of Park Center Drive.
In 1995, the pylon sign agreement was amended when TCF Bank subdivided a 1.5 -acre lot in the
northeast portion of the site.. The pylon sign was to be located along Cliff Lake Road. This
amendment will become void if the theater proposal is approved
The proposed theater pylon sign is located on Cliff Road approximately 247' from Park Center
Drive. The location should be revised to be in conformance with the original 1990 Pylon Sign
Agreement indicating the location at 230' from Park Center Drive.
Planning Report - Park Center Oh Addition
November 25, 1997
Paye 7
The proposed 97 s.f., 27' high pylon is supported by two 20" x 20" brick columns. The sign copy
reads "REGAL" and below that "Cinemas 16". The double-faced, internally illuminated, sign face
also includes space for the individual movies to be listed. The brick column design is a condition
of the sign agreement.
Building Signage: Building signage will consist of the word "Regal" to be located vertically on the
marquis in approximately 41/2' -5' backlit letters (78 s.f.) and the copy "Cinemas 16" below in 2'
tall letters x 20' in length (40 s.f.). A 10'x 22'(220 s.f.) marquis sign listing the shows is located
directly above the main entry doors and immediately below the "Cinemas 16" sign.
Two - 6'x 28'(336 s.f.) poster cases are located along the front side of the buildings on either side
of the main entry doors.
The total proposed building signage 674 s.f. The sign code allows building signage up to 20% of
the building side area or 2,160 s.f in this case. The applicant has proposed only 6.2% of the
building area.
Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The development of a theater is consistent with the
commercial developments in the area. Theaters are listed as a permitted use in the CSC -
Community Shopping Center District.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION
The proposed use of a theater appears to be compatible with the surrounding land uses and is
consistent with development to date in the area. The intensity of the overall project requires several
deviations from standard City Code requirements.
The number of seats results in the developer being unable to meet City Code standards for parking.
Using the ratios of 1:3 in the City Code, the applicant is proposing enough parking for 2,178 seats.
The proposal is for 3,212, seats. The developer is requesting parking at a ratio of 1:4.4 or 726
spaces on site, but 1:4 including the proof area. Staff notes that the 1:4 ratio provided on site for the
Mann Theater appears to be adequate (based on the lack of complaints about inadequate parking at
that facility and informal monitoring) and the developer states that the 1:4.4 parking is adequate
based on their experience in the theater business. The proposed 9' stalls are consistent with the
Mann Theater development, but not consistent with the City Council's 10' wide policy.
The height of the building's marquis is 25' taller than what is permitted in a CSC - Community
Shopping Center district. The maximum height in a CSC district is 35'.

The final landscape plan will require changes in design, especially along the northwest corner of the
site, where an attempt was made to screen the rear portion of the building. Unfortunately, an
easement will prohibit some of the landscape material from being placed in that NW corner
location. However, the applicant has agreed to relocate some of these plantings to increase the
perimeter landscaping which will help in screening the parking lot to the 75% opacity requirement.
The exact location of the pylon sign should be incorporated into the design of the landscape plan as
well in order to avoid conflicts of plantings and the proposed sign.
If approved the proposed site plan will constitute the Preliminary Planned Development for Regal
Cinemas. The proposed site plan will achieve Final Planned Development status when a Final
Planned Development Agreement has been executed. The applicant will be required to submit the
following plans, including any modifications resulting from the Advisory Planning Commission
and City Council review of the preliminary plans to be used as exhibits in the Final Planned
Development.

RE: Proposed 16-plex Cinema @ Cliff & Cliff Lake Roads
Dear Mayor Egan:
0— till -7
I read of the proposed Regal Cinemas movie theater in the December 3 issue of the Eagan
Sun -Current. I live near this site and I drive past it at least once every day. Although I
would like to see a movie theater on this site and I do not oppose the PD amendment that
would allow that use, I think that the proposed theater is far to large for this site.
The proposed theater will have 3210 seats which according to the city's 1:33 requirement
for movie theaters would require 1070 parking stalls. Since the site is too small to fit a
building of this size with all of the required parking, the developer proposed to reduce the
parking count to 726 spaces which is less than a 1:4 ratio. The rationale given for this
deviation is that the movie release times would be "staggered". Frankly, I think it would
be impossible for 16 movies to release in a manner that wasn't staggered; this
justification is clearly bogus. Furthermore, the developer claims that he can lease
neighboring land for 80 additional parking spaces from the Dakota County HRA and
thereby bring his parking ratio up to 1:4. a ratio used by some other cities. Unless this
agreement is formalized in a legally binding easement or a purchase it can be terminated
by the two parties whenever they wish and therefore should be unacceptable to the city.
In a telephone conversation I had with Shannon Tyree this past Thursday, she said that all
of these issues were clearly pointed out in the planning staff report. It is unfathomable to
me that the Advisory Planning Commission could ignore major issues like these and vote
to recommend approval. Ms. Tyree told me that one commissioner said at the meeting
that he was unhappy with so many large parking lots all over the place. If this is the case,
I would suggest he or she should have voted to reject the project in its current form and
be redesigned to fit on the site rather than simply allow a massive building with non-
compliant parking. If this were in any zoning district other than PD, such a deviation
from the city code would requires a variance with a hardship justification. There is no
hardship in this case other than the developer having eyes that are bigger than his site.
a�9
DEC -11-97 THU 13 6128900064 09 AMCON CORP FAX NO. 6128900064 P.02/03
I can understand how a developer would want to maximize a site in order to maximize his
or her profit; however in this case it would be at the expense of the entire community
shopping district surrounding this project. If this is approved, every other developer
would expect to ignore city ordinance with the city's blessing. I urge the City Council to
enforce the city's planning and zoning code and reject this project in its current form.
Sincerely,
Michael Supina

DATE: December 9, 1997
TO: Chief Patrick Geagan11
FROM: Detective Doug Matteson
SUBJECT: Liquor license Investigation, Joe Sensor's Sports Bar & Grill
I have conducted a thorough background investigation on the applicants for this liquor license.
As you are aware, Joe Sensor's Sports Bar & Grill intend to lease the vacant Cracker Barrel
building located at 3010 Eagandale Place. This will be the third Sensor's Sports Bar, others
located in Roseville and Bloomington.
Sensors's Sports Bar and Grill has applied for a on -sale liquor license, including Sunday Sales.
They do meet the criteria for liquor sales according to city ordinance and state law. They will be
offering a full food menu until Midnight (11:00pm Sundays). On-site entertainment consists of
recorded music and television.
Criminal history queries were run on all named in the application, and I did not discover a
criminal background on any of the applicants. I spoke with Roseville and Bloomington Police
Departments, and found no excessive calls for service or violations at either location.
Based on the results of my investigation, I find no reason to deny the applicant, Joe Sensor's
Sports Bar & Grill the requested liquor license.
