Item 6. Affirmative Action Policy/Repeal— ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve the repeal of the City of Eagan's affirmative action policy/plan. FACTS: On October 22, 1997 the Personnel Committee of the City Council met to review a number of items, including current national developments regarding affirmative action and how these developments would or should affect the City of Eagan's current affirmative action plan.

Appropriate applications include local dollars for housing assistance, development or rehabilitation programs, local housing inspection and code enforcement, and tax levies to support local/county HRA's. In 1997, the City far exceeded the ALHOA amount with its allocation of community development block grant funds for single family housing rehab, down payment assistance, and the HRA tax leer. + In 1998, the City of Eagan will be required to expend its affordable and life cycle housing opportunities amount of $48,630.00. The City will easily be able to expend this amount with the ongoing HRA tax levy and our commitments to single family housing rehabilitation and down payment assistance with the CDBG program. + The formula for calculating the ALHOA amount is included as an attachment.

FACTS: • Project 95 -LL provided for the development of the Eagan Heights Town Homes, I" Addition, including Water Lily Lane and Creekside Court southeast of the intersection of Old Sibley Highway and Old Sibley Memorial Highway. The plat included town house lots. The construction of the street on Creekside Court has not been completed by the developer in accordance with the completion dates stated in the Development Agreement, although city staff has made significant effort to remind the developer of his contract with the City of Eagan. • Contrary to the statement made by the developer in the attached letter, the street work could have been completed regardless of the timing of the utility improvements on Old Sibley Highway. The public improvement had minimal impact on the accessibility of this portion of the developer's site. • Creekside Court is not a public street. It is approximately 265 feet in length and only provides access to the town homes. The delay of the completion of the street will have an adverse affect on the developer by delaying the occupancy of the town homes on Creekside Court and by extending the warranty period of the public utilities installed as part of the project.

As you know, the storm sewer lines, sanitary sewer and water main improvements are already in place in this street. It was our intent to complete this work this fall but the delay in completing the work on Old Sibley Highway has impacted our schedule. Specifically, because Creekside Court is our model area operation, we wanted to wait to finish the Creekside Court improvements until after Old Sibley Highway was completed. I believe Wayne Lamoreaux of Pioneer Engineering has provided a drawing to John Gorder that indicates the major impact that the Creekside Court improvements will have on the model setup and landscaping. Therefore, we respectfully ask that we be granted an extension to August 31, 1998, to complete the improvements to Creekside Court. Thanks for your consideration. Sincerely, Allan J.

FACTS: • Contract 96-01 provided for the construction of the street and utilities for Eagandale Corporate Center Phase I, including portions of Neil Armstrong Boulevard and Aldrin Circle, northeast of the intersection of Lexington Avenue and Yankee Doodle Road. • A considerable amount of storm sewer was included in the design for the project to provide adequate drainage for the site. • The improvements detailed in the change order address the revision of a storm sewer pipe location between a pond and the trunk storm sewer. The developer of the property requested the relocation of said pipe. The pond involved is Pond EP -2.1, northwest of the intersection of Aldrin Drive and Mike Collins Drive. • The relocation placed the pipe where the existing ground surface elevation was significantly higher and increased the depth of the trench needed for placement of the pipe. Depths of the trench for the storm sewer installation were up to 28 feet, much more than the less than 10 feet indicated for the Pond EP -2.1 portion of the plans. • This change order has been reviewed by the Engineering Division and found to be in order for favorable Council action. • The change order provides for an additional cost of $7,503.68 (0.8% of original contract). The associated cost will be assessed to the benefited property owners. ATTACHMENTS: ob • Change Order No. 5, pages -3-C-1 through city of eagan CONTRACT A 96-01 PROJECT A 688 PROJECTNAME.

MSA, Consulting Engineers 1326 Enero Park Drive St. Paul, MN SS108-5202 DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE ORDER WORK- A negotiated unit price adjustment for changes in the scope of 12 -inch RCP storm sewer construction. JUSTIFICATION FOR/PURPOSE OFCHANGE ORDER - Due DER - Due to a storm sewer design change initiated by the Developer, plan revisions at Pond EP 2.1 resulted in a substantial decrease in the shallow depth 12 -inch RCP Class 5 from the original bid quantity. The original bid required the Contractor to construct all 12 -inch RCP at one unit price for the various depth zones. The portion deleted was designed at a shallow depth (0-10') and the 12 -inch RCP constructed was installed up to 28 feet deep. Due to the Developer requested design revisions and the resulting deletion of shallow storm sewer quantities, the Contractor is justified in receiving an increase in the unit price per linear foot of pipe installed at greater depths. The following unit price increase was negotiated between the City Staff and the Contractor. ITEM MnDOT NO. NO.

J -% Agenda Information :Memo November 3, 1997 Eagan City Council Meeting A. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - DART TRANSIT CO. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: > To approve or deny a Conditional Use Permit to allow off-site outdoor storage of trucks on the "Kwik Trip" parcel, west of TH 149, south of Stark's restaurant, in the east'/2 of Section 12, subject to the conditions listed in the Advisory Planning Commission minutes. FACTS: > Dart is requesting reconsideration of a conditional use permit request they submitted last year and which was continued indefinitely by the City Council in April. The CUP would allow off-site outside storage (parking) of 244 truck trailers on the 10 -acre "Kwik Trip" parcel. This is considered off-site because the Kwik Trip parcel is separate from the Dart headquarters property and Dart does not want to combine the properties at this time. > The request appears to meet the performance standards outlined in the Zoning Code for off-site outdoor storage. However, there are some issues regarding landscape irrigation, stormwater drainage, access and traffic. > The Advisory Planning Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit, on a 6-1 vote, subject to the conditions in the staff report as amended. These amendments are outlined below under Issues. ISSUES: > One APC member stated concerns that performance standard #a was not being met since Dart could locate additional trailer parking on their headquarters site. Other members stated that they felt Dart had shown that they do intent to expand on their headquarters site and that it makes sense for them to locate additional parking on the KNvik Trip parcel now, rather than wait until the building expansion occurs. > Dart is requesting that the requirement to install a landscape irrigation system be waived, in part because they intend on preserving some existing nature trees and to not want to disturb them by installing the irrigation. They state that they will do the necessary watering to ensure the plants survive and are willing to allow the City to hold their landscape guarantee escrow for an extended period of time to allow the plants to get established. The APC recommended that condition #8 in 3 �' the staff report be modified to read: "The developer shall allow the required $5,000 landscape guarantee to be held in escrow for two years." > The developer will be required to provide storm sewer along the west edge of the property either by constructing the storm sewer themselves, City initiation of a public improvement project and assessing the developer for the benefit they receive, or another alternative as approved by the City. The APC recommended that condition #2 in the staff report be amended to delete reference to "two" options and add a third option: "or another alternative as approved by the City." The APC also recommended deletion of the sentence "This benefit would be $28,864 as identified in the Financial Obligation portion of this report." That figure represents the maximum benefit the developer would be assessed. However, the actual amount of benefit to be assessed cannot be determined until the actual lineal feet of pipe needed is known. > Since the staff report was written, the City Attorney requested that another condition be added that refers to the termination language in the Code regarding off-site outdoor storage. As such, the following condition should be added: "The Conditional_ Use Permit shall terminate Won the development of the "Kwik Trilf" parcel or Won termination of the principal use on the Dart headquarters site, whichever comes first."

This is a continuation of a request submitted in December of 1996. Planner Julic Farnham introduced this item. Ms. Farnham highlighted the information presented in City staffs planning report dated October 23, 1997. Ms. Farnham noted the background and history, the surrounding uses and the existing conditions of the subject property. Ms. Famham noted that this is a reconsideration of a request submitted in December, 1996, that was continued by the City Council. The applicant, Gary Santoorjian was present and available for questions. Mr. Santoorj questioned the sentence in Condition No. 2 regarding the estimated benefit of $28,964.00 for the storm sewer as identified the Financial Obligation portion of the report. Ms. Farnham stated that amount is an estimate, and the actual amount may be less and agreed the sentence should be deleted from Condition No. 2. Mr. ' Santoorjian noted that Condition No. 7 should be deleted since there are no wetlands oil site, to which City staff concurred. He also noted that Condition No. 8 should be revised to state that the applicant would agree to hold the $5,000.00 landscape guarantee in escrow for two years rather than one year as required. Member Segal stated that he did not feel Dart is complying with Performance Standard "a" since they could park the trailers on the headquarters site or combine the parcels to eliminate the off -sine status. Other APC Members stated they felt Dart has shown good faith in their intent to expand their headquarters and that it makes sense to allow the trailer parking on the Kwik Trip parcel now, rather than later. Member Frank asked about traffic and circulation. Mr. Santoodian replied that access will be to TH-149 from Borchert Ingersoll Road. Eventually, there will be a connection to the Dart headquarters property. He also stated that they expect about 133 trucks per day with minor peaks during morning and evening rush hours. Member Carlson raised concern about Dart leasing parking spaces to others. City Attorney Dougherty stated that the Conditional Use Permit is for the use (storage of trailers) and not who is storing the trailers. 12 432 3780 10-31-97 03:43PM P003 #44 SENT BY: 14-31-97 ; 14:31 ; SEVERSON 9FI DON 612 681 46124 # 4/30 R=94% Page 3 October 28, 1997 ADVISORY PLANMIMO COIrrQvlISSION DCa�p Member Frank moved, Member Bakken seconded, a motion to recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit to off-site outdoor storage of trucks on 10 acres located on the west side of TH 149, south of Starks Restaurant; in the NW%4 of Section 12, subject to the following amended conditions: 1.

PROPERTY OWNER: Dan Oren (Dart) CASE: #12 -CU -28-12-96 (continued) HEARING DATE: October 28,1997 PREPARED BY: Julie Farnham REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit to allow off-site outdoor storage LOCATION: West side of TH 149, south of Stark's Restaurant COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: IND Industrial ZONING: I-1 Limited Industrial SUMMARY OF REQUEST Dart Transit Company is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow off-site outdoor storage of trucks on 10 acres located on the west side of TH 149, south of Stark's Restaurant, in the NW 1/4 of Section 12. This is a continuation of a request submitted in December 1996. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subd. 4, C states: The Planning Commission shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall issue such conditional use permits only if it finds that such use at the proposed location: A. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare 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. Planning Report — Dart Transit (continued) October 28, 1997 PaL,e 2 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. City Code Section 11.40, Subd. 4. D. Conditions, states: 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. Additional standards are outlined in Section 11. 10, Subd. 21.1.C.1 that apply to the evaluation of a conditional use permit for off-site outdoor storage. These are reviewed more closely under Evaluation of Request beginning on page 4. Section 11. 10, Subd. 29, C.1. was recently amended. Regulations regarding outdoor storage by businesses are now under Section 11.10, Subd. 29.2, C. which includes the following standards: Outdoor storage items shall be placed within an enclosure as necessary to achieve appropriate security and containment or for public safety reasons when determined necessary by the City. In General Business (GB) and Community Shopping Center (CSC) zoning districts, the enclosure shall be attached to the principal building and be constructed of materials which are aesthetically compatible with the principal building. In Limited Industrial (I-1) and General Industrial (1-2) zoning districts, the enclosure may be detached from the principal building. 2. The storage area shall be located in the side or rear yards and shall not encroach into any required front building setback area or other required setbacks. 3. The outdoor storage area shall be screened from view from the public right-of-way and from any adjacent property which is designated for residential uses in the Corrprehensive Guide Plan. 4. The storage area shall not interfere with any pedestrian or vehicular movement. 5. The storage area shall not take up required parking spaces or landscaping areas. 3� Planning Report — Dart Transit (continued) October 28, 1997 Pay e 3 6. The storage area shall be surfaced with concrete or an approved equivalent to control dust and erosion. The surface shall be property maintained to prevent deterioration. BACKGROUNDMISTORY In December 1996, Dart Transit submitted an application for a conditional use permit for outdoor storage for truck parking on this property, known as the "Kwik Trip" site. At that time they also submitted a request for a conditional use permit for outdoor storage on the 10 -acre parcel directly to the south, known as the "Sills" property. Both requests were reviewed by the APC at their January 1997 meeting and subsequently reviewed by the City Council in February. The APC recommended denial of the request and the City Council passed a motion to continue the request for 60 days to allow the applicant to submit additional detailed information. In April 1997 the Council approved a request by Dart to continue consideration of the conditional use permits indefinitely. Dart submitted a waiver to the 60 -day agency action deadline which allows this item to be continued indefinitely. The major concerns expressed during review of the initial application were the lack of detailed plans (e.g. grading, landscaping) and that the Trucking Study had not been completed. Area residents also felt the Trucking Study should be completed to ensure an informed decision. They also expressed concerns about additional traffic on TH 149 and screening of the outdoor storage area. The Trucking Study was formally accepted by the City Council in April 1997. The study recommends that existing trucking businesses be allowed to remain and expand as necessary. It also states that the properties on the west side of TH 149 between Lone Oak Road and Yankee Doodle Road should remain zoned for Limited Industrial uses, which includes truck terminals. The Trucking Study identified TH 149 as a major truck route. At this time, Dart is only requesting consideration of off-site outdoor storage on the "Kwik Trip" parcel. Their application includes preliminary site, grading and landscape plans. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is undeveloped. Some mature trees exist around the perimeter of thL site. The property is relatively level, lying slightly below the elevation of TH 149, gently sloping north toward an existing detention pond west of Stark's restaurant. The site is bound on the south by the private, so- called "Borchert -Ingersoll Road". SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property �o Planning Report — Dart Transit (continued) October 28, 1997 PaL,e 4 North - Dart Transit headquarters; zoned I-1, guided IND South - Vacant ("Sills" parcel); zoned I-1, guided IND East - Commercial and mixed residential; zoned GB, NB, R-1, R-3; guided GB, NB, D -I, and D -H West - Industrial; zoned I-1, guided IND EVALUATION OF RE UEST The site proposed for the outdoor storage (Kwik Trip parcel) abuts the Dart headquarters site, but is a separate parcel. At this time, Dart does not want to combine the Kwik Trip parcel with the headquarters property because that would require platting, which would be subject to Dakota County's right-of-way acquisition requirements along Lone Oak Road. As such, the request constitutes off-site outdoor storage. The City's Zoning Code allows for off-site outdoor storage as a conditional use, provided the situation meets the performance standards listed in Sec. 11. 10, Subd. 12. LC. Proposed Use - Dart is proposing to use the 10 -acre "Kwik Trip" parcel to park semi -trailers used in its carrier operations. Truck tractors will not typically be stored on this site. Dart drivers own their own rigs and do not leave them on the Dart property. Dart states that no loads are delivered or picked up at the site. Com atibilit , with Surrounding Area - The Kwik Trip parcel is across TH 149 from properties guided for General Business and Neighborhood Business uses. Residential uses are located further south and east. There is no residential property directly across TH 149 from the Kwik Trip parcel. Properties to the north, west, and south are zoned and guided for industrial uses. Outdoor truck parking should not adversely impact surrounding industrial properties. The impacts on the commercial and residential properties will largely depend on visual screening and the amount of truck traffic generated by this use. Compliance with Performance Standards — Following is a point -by -point assessment of how the applicant's proposal complies with the performance standards listed in Sec. 11. 10, Subd. 12.1.C. 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 storage needs of the principal use on the dominant parcel. The applicant states that the Dart headquarters site (dominant parcel) could currently accommodate additional truck parking. However, Dart intends to expand the headquarters building in the future and reconstruction cf Lone Oak Road will require a new access drive configuration, both of which will displace area currently identified as proof of parking for truck trailers. They prefer to locate additional trailer parking on the Kwip Trip parcel now, so they can retain maximum flexibility for building expansion on the headquarters site. 4 I Planning Report — Dart Transit (continued) October 28, 1997 Pakie 5 b. The parcel on which the off-site off-street parkiinnL, or off-site outdoor storage is located and the dominant arcel which the off-site off-street arking or outdoor stora_,e services shall be within the same zoning districts. Both the Dart headquarters (dominant) and Kwik Trip (servient) properties are zoned I-1 and guided for industrial uses. c. The servient parcel on which the off-site off-street parking or off-site outdoor storaze 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 storagge area. The Kwik Trip property abuts the Dart headquarters property. d. The off-site off-street parkinL, 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 consist of bituminous pavement with concrete curb and gutter. Eight, 30 -foot tall, single head light poles will be located around the lot perimeter. These will be downcast fixtures with illumination levels similar to that on the Dart headquarters site. The parking lot will be screened from public right-of-ways by landscaping and berming. The landscaping includes a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs that will form a solid screen at maturity and will be 75-100% solid at time of planting along the north and east (TH 149) property lines. The proposed mixed landscaping also extends along the south property line about 100 feet. The remainder of the south property line is proposed to be screened with hedge plantings that will grow 5-8 feet tall. The applicant also intends to preserve some of the existing mature trees along the perimeter. This proposed landscaping exceeds the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance which only requires screening on the east property line abutting public right-of-way (TH 149). e. The off-site outdoor storage area shall meet the requirements set forth in Section 11. 10, Subd. 29(c)(1), except those provisions governing building or height restrictions. The proposed parking area meets the requirements of Sec. 11.10 Subd. 29.2.C. as follows: A 6 -foot tall chain link fence is proposed to enclose the parking area. The access driveway onto Borchert -Ingersoll Road will be gated. The proposed parking lot setbacks (44' — 70' along TH 149, 35' side and 32' rear) meet or exceed required setbacks. The parking/storage area will be screened with landscaping and berming. The storage area will not interfere with pedestrian or vehicular movement and will not occupy required parking or landscape areas. f. Off-site off-street pazidng and off-site outdoor storage on the servient V rce1 shall have fewer arking spaces, less area, and less outdoor stora^e area than the dominant_ parcel. The Kwik Trip (servient) parcel is 10 acres in size and is proposed to accommodate 244 trailer parking spaces. The Dart headquarters (dominant) parcel is 23 acres in size and could currently accommodate 278 trailers (existing and proof) and 336 tractors (existing and proof) for a total of 614 trucks. With the proposed building expansion and driveway access reconfiguration, the Dart parcel could accommodate 188 trailers and 185 tractors for a total of 373 trucks (see Exhibits A and B). a Planning Report — Dart Transit (continued) October 28, 1997 Paze 6 g. Off-site outdoor storage on the servient parcel shall be bermed and landscaped on sides abutting public fi lit -of -way and residentially zoned districts. The combined berming and landsca int shall be a 6 foot tall screen that is 75% o as ue abutting public right-of-way and 100% opaque abutting residential zoning districts or residential uses. The outdoor storage area will be bermed and landscaped on sides abutting public right-of-way to achieve a 6 -foot tall screen that is 75% opaque. This parcel does not abut (either directly or across TH 149) any property zoned or guided for residential uses. Parkin �-,,'Stora, e Lot Desi - The site plan submitted indicates 244 trailer parking spaces. The trailer parking stalls are 12' wide by 53' long. Drive aisles between parking stalls are proposed to be 75' wide. One 78' wide entry access is provided onto Borchert -Ingersoll Road. Landscape Plan - The proposed landscape plan will provide screening in excess of that required by codes. However, the applicant is not proposing to install an irrigation system, which is also required by code. They believe that installation of an irrigation system would be disruptive to the existing vegetation they are attempting to preserve. They also state that they would commit to regular watering of the new plantings to ensure they survive. It is standard practice for the City to hold a $5,000 landscape guarantee in escrow for one year after planting. This guarantee is not released unless the planting is completed to the City's satisfaction and can be used to replace any dead or missing plants that the developer fails to replace. Staff notes that young plants may not survive well after one year if they do not receive adequate water. As such, if the City determines that a variance to the irrigation system requirement is merited, consideration should be given to requiring an additional, long-term guarantee to ensure the landscaping survives and thrives without an irrigation system. Gradin= ' Wetlands - The preliminary grading plan is acceptable. There is one identified wetland within the development parcel. That wetland is associated with Pond EP -4 which currently receives storm water discharges from parcels to the east. The developer has assembled air photo documentation that shows that the area of the site currently occupied by Pond EP -4 did not exhibit wetland characteristics prior to introduction of storm water and is therefore exempted from regulation under the Wetlands Conservation Act. Storm Draina�,e/Water QualiL� - Site drainage is proposed to be directed to the west edge of this parcel. The City's Stormwater Management Plan (1990) identifies the need inr a trunk storm sewer system along the west edge of this property to serve this site as well as properties upstream in this drainage district. The developer should be responsible for their proportiorate share of the construction of this storm sewer in accordance with the Storm Water Mangement Plan and City Engineering standards. Two possible options to fulfill this responsibility are as follows: 1. The developer can construct the storm sewer themselves in accordance with City Engineering standards along the south edge of the development property for future �3 Planning Report — Dart Transit (continued) October 28, 1997 Paye 7 extension to the south. 2. The City would initiate a public improvement project to construct the system and the developer would be assessed the lateral benefit from the .storm sewer system based on contributing flows. This public improvement should be ordered by the City Council prior to issuance of the conditional use permit. This parcel is located in Drainage Basin E and will generate runoff that will discharge to an existing storm water management basin (Pond EP4) on the site, then to Pond EP -1. Pond EP -1, a designated nutrient trap, is connected with an equalizer pipe with Pond EP -2, a water body that is classifed for indirect contact recreation because it is located within a prospective park area (North Park). To protect water quality in Pond EP -2, on-site ponding is recommended for this development. The inlet to the pond to be constructed by the developer should contain an energy dissipator of acceptable design to the City and a skimmer suitable to the City should be installed on the outlet. The developer is proposing to increase the wet pond volume of Pond EP -4 from less than 2 acre- feet to 5.5 acre-feet to meet runoff treatment requirements for both this 10 -acre parcel and another 10 -acre parcel to the south that the developer plans to develop in the future for a similar use. The increase in volume is adequate to meet the treatment requirements for both parcels. A MnDOT stormwater drainage permit will be required for any stormwater discharge onto the TH 149 right-of-way. Utilities — Sanitary sewer is available for connection along the west edge of the site. Water main is available for connection along TH 149. Access/Street Design - Access to TH 149 for this development is proposed via Borchert -Ingersoll Road, an existing paved private roadway. Use of this access onto TH 149 is subject to approval by MnDOT via access permit approval. MnDOT has done a preliminary review of this proposal and has indicated that construction of a right turn lane on southbound TH 149 and a bypass lane on northbound TH 149 will be required for permit approval. MnDOT is also requiring that a traffic analysis be completed to determine the impacts of the proposed development on TH 149. The traffic analysis would also determine if any trunk highway improvements are needed. A study is currently underway regarding the Yankee Doodle Road/TH 149 corridor that will include some traffic analysis. Dakota County is the lead agency for this study which is anticipated to be completed in approximately 4 months. The developer should work with MnDOT to determine whether this information satisfies MnDOT's needs. If so, the developer has the caption of delaying the development until the pending Corridor Study is completed or conduct their own traffic analysis. Borchert -Ingersoll Road is currently used by Power Brake Equipment Company, located on the west side of the railroad tracks. Power Brake has a private ingress/egress easement to use the road. Planning Report — Dart Transit (continued) October 28, 1997 Pate 8 With the proposed development on the Kwip Trip parcel, this road should be upgraded from its current rural section to an urban section drive in accordance with City standards which require concrete curb and gutter, storm sewer and bituminous surfacing. Easements/Ri�,hts of Way/Permits - The developer should provide adequate drainage and utility easements over the trunk storm sewer along the west edge of the property prior to issuance of a conditional use permit. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Dart Transit Company is requesting a conditional use permit to allow off-site, outdoor storage of trucks on a 10 -acre parcel (Kwik Trip) located just south of the Dart headquarters property. The proposed parking lot will accommodate 244 parking spaces for truck trailers. This is a continuation of a request reviewed by the City in early 1997. The proposed use and site plan appear to comply with the performance standards for off-site outdoor storage listed in Sec. 11.10, Subd. 21.1.C.1. There are some issues with regard to landscape irrigation, stormwater drainage, access and traffic. The applicant will be required to provide storm sewer along the west edge of the property. A traffic analysis and possibly turn lanes will need to be completed prior to receipt of a permit from MnDOT to access TH 149. In addition, the City will require that Borchert -Ingersoll Road be upgraded to an urban section drive. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED A. To recommend approval or denial of a Conditional Use Permit to allow off-site outdoor storage of trucks on the "Kwik Trip" parcel, west of TH 149, south of Stark's restaurant, in the east 1/i of Section 12, subject to the following conditions: 1. This CUP relates to off-site outdoor storage per attached plans dated 10-7-97 to allow parking of 244 trucks. 2. The developer shall be responsible for their proportionate share of the construction of storm sewer along the west edge of the property. This storm sewer shall be constructed in accordance with the Storm Water Management Plan and City Engineering standards. The developer may choose from two options to fulfill this ro sponsibility. 1) The developer can construct the storm sewer themselves to the south edge of the property for future extension to the south; or 2) The City would initiate a public improvement project to construct the system and the developer would be assessed the lateral benefit from the stone sewer system based on contributing flows. This benefit would be $28,864 as identified in the Financial Obligation portion of this report. This public improvement should be ordered by the City Council prior to issuance of a conditional use permit. Planning Report — Dart Transit (continued) October 28, 1997 Paze 9 3. The developer shall provide adequate drainage and utility easement over the trunk storm sewer along the west edge of the property prior to issuance of a conditional use permit. 4. The existing Borchert -Ingersoll road on the south edge of the property shall be upgraded from a rural section to an urban section drive in accordance with City standards. 5. The developer shall comply with MnDOT requirements for receipt of an access permit onto TH 149. 6. Runoff from impervious surfaces within the site shall be treated with on-site ponding prior to discharge off the site. The inlet to the pond shall contain an energy dissipator of acceptable design to the City and a skimmer suitable to the City shall be installed on the outlet. The ponding configuration must be approved by the City's water resource coordinator prior to issuance of a grading permit. 7. Any wetland fill or drain impacts that require mitigation shall be approved by the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. 8. The developer shall install an irrigation system to cover all landscaped areas. 9. The property shall be platted prior to issuance of a building permit. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION 12 -CU -28-12-96 There are pay-off balances of special assessments totaling $0 on the parcel for which the conditional use is requested. At this time, there are no pending assessments on the parcel for which the conditional use permit is requested. The estimated financial obligation presented is subject to change based upon areas, dimensions and land uses contained in the final plat. Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the uses proposed for the property, the following charges are proposed. The charges are computed using the City's existing fee schedule and the availability of the City's utility.

BACKGROUND/ EXISTING CONDITIONS Town Center 70 Eleventh Addition (Wal -mart) was platted in 1990 and the building was built in 1991. The Wal-Mart store is part of the Town Center Shopping Center located north of Duckwood Drive and east of Town Center Drive. Jerry's Garden Center occupied this space for Christmas tree sales within the Wal-Mart parking lot last year under administrative approval from October to December. Since that time the City has adopted the temporary event and seasonal outdoor sale ordinance. A Conditional Use Permit had been approved earlier this year to allow Severs Market to sell produce in this same area of the parking lot. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Town Center Shopping Center; zoned Commercial Shopping Center (CSC) and guided Central Area (CA) South - Frank's Nursery and Duckwood Square; zoned Commercial Shopping Center (CSC) and guided Central Area (CA) East - Town Center 70 Fifteenth Addition acant) ; Commercial Shopping Center (CSC) and guided Central Area (CA) West - Super America and Mermaid Car Wash; Commercial Shopping Center (CSC) and guided Central Area (CA) EVALUATION OF REQUEST The Christmas tree lot will be set up shortly after City Council action on November 4, 1997. The trees will be partially delivered the first week of November 4, 1997; with continuous delivery thereafter. Days of operation will be the Friday after Thanksgiving; November 28, 1997 through December 24, 1997. The lots will be open to the public from 11:00 A.M. — 9:00 P.M. Monday through Friday; and 9:00 A.M. — 9:00 P.M. Saturday and Sunday. They plan to sell Christmas trees, wreaths, stands, etc. The sales operation and tear -down and clean-up is to be completed by January 1, 1998. Compatibilit% with Surrounding Area — The proposed site is zoned and guided for commercial uses. All of the properties surrounding the proposed site area are also zoned and guided commercial uses. The seasonal outdoor sale of Christmas trees within the parking lot of the Wal- Mart store appears to be compatible with the uses of the surrounding area. Site Plan — The site plan shows the proposed tree lot to be located in the parking lot at the southwest corner of the site. City Code requires a seasonal outdoor sale to be placed in an enclosure to achieve appropriate security and containment or for public safety reasons. The applicant proposes a three foot high wire fence around the perimeter of the lot to serve as an enclosure. Trees should not be stored outside of the fenced area. Setbacks — City Code requires a seasonal outdoor sale to be a minimum of 10 feet from any property line. The proposed display area meets the required setback from adjacent properties. Signage — The application does not contain any information concerning signage. All signage for this seasonal outdoor sale should conform to City Code standards. City Code requires the applicant to obtain a sign permit from the City. " This type of permit has a fee for the first year, given the sign stays the same from year to year. The code also allows a maximum of 25 square feet of signage for a conditional use. (.'0'3 Parking — Currently, 772 parking spaces are provided on-site. The proposed use will occupy approximately 20 spaces in the southwest portion of the parking lot. The City does not have any record of parking problems associated with the Wal-Mart store and the sale of Christmas trees in previous years. Therefore, the temporary loss of 20 parking spaces should not cause parking problems this year. Parking associated with the outdoor sales event does not appear likely to spill over onto adjacent properties due to the location of the stand. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed seasonal outdoor sale of Christmas trees at the Wal-Mart store will be located at the southwest comer of the parking lot along Town Centre Drive. The sale will occur beginning November 28, 1997 and last until December 24, 1997. The hours of operation for the lot will be 11:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. The booth will be cleared by January 1, 1998.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — JERRY'S GARDEN CENTER ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve/deny a Conditional Use Permit to allow seasonal sales on Lot 2, Block 1, Hadler Park, located on the south side of Cliff Road, west of the Walgreens store, in the NE quarter of Section 31. FACTS: In 1996, Jerry's Garden Center operated Christmas tree sales at this location after receiving approval administratively prior to the City adopting the Seasonal Sales and Temporary Outdoor Sales Ordinance. Staff is unaware of any problems, or concerns, caused by this operation at this location last year. The Advisory Planning Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. ISSUES: Mr. Richard Schweim, President of Jerry's Home and Garden Showplace, has written a letter regarding the City's fees for processing Conditional Use Permits. Until a recent City Code change which codified a process covering temporary and seasonal sales, activity such as Christmas tree sales, was allowed by a Special Use Permit. The cost to the applicant was $50.00 per lot on an annual basis. With the Code changes, most of these sales became subject to the Conditional Use Permit process and subject to certain conditions, run with the land indefinitely, and are not subject to annual renewal. The present City fee schedule requires a $150.00 application fee and a $500.00 escrow deposit. The escrow deposit is used to cover the City's costs (including staff time, etc.) with the balance refunded upon completion of the process. Total fees covered by the escrow deposit typically run the full range depending on the complexity of the use, site, etc., however, these specific applications will probably be in the $200.00 range. Regarding the two Conditional Use Permits referenced by Mr. Schweim, the $150.00 application fees were paid; but escrow deposits were not collected pending this appeal to the City Council. The issue remaining is whether the City will require, or waive, payment for the costs ordinarily covered by the escrow deposit. The City Council agenda also contains a Conditional Use Permit and an Interim Use Permit for Eagan Evangelical Covenant Church for Christmas tree sales. They have paid both the application fee and escrow deposit. In the event the City Council decides to waive any, or all, fees questioned by Mr. Schweim, staff would like direction regarding the broader policy issue of waiving fees in instances such as these.

My store has been sponsoring Boy Scout Troop 345 and Troop 510 of Eagan with their Christmas Tree Lots for the last 5 years. For every tree we sell. we donate $2.50 a tree to each troop. The Troops rely on this fund raiser each year to help out the Boy Scouts in their camping, equipment. and fees incurred for each Troop. The store has been trying to do their best to give back to Eagan some of what Eagan has given to us over the years. The new fees are very high: totaling $1300.00 for the two Troops. Neither the Troops or the store can afford to spend this money. If taken from the Troops-, they barely have a reason to spend the time and *energy helping out at the lots. Each Boy Scout gives a certain amount of time each year at the lots and their parents accompany them on their time. We feel that the $500.00 escrow per lot should be waived as this is a charitable fund raiser for Boy Scout Troop 345 and Boy Scout Troop 510. The City of Apple Valley waives all its fees for qualified Apple Valley area non-profit organizations. The Boy Scout Troops qualify as such. We believe it to be in the best of both our interests to provide the troops' with a quality experience to both learn and profit from. and to let us provide it to them. In turn you will have our gratitude for providing us with the ability to help succeed in our goal. � 1 Regards, (chard Schweim President FO Agenda Information Memo November 3, 1997 Eagan City Council Meeting C.

BACKGROUND/EXISTING CONDITIONS The Eagan Evangelical Covenant Church Addition received final plat approval in October 1989. A building permit for the church was issued in 1989. The site is 4.84 acres in size and contains an 8,500 square foot church and a barn. In September of 1995, a variance request and moving permit were granted to relocate a barn from the Soderholm Addition onto the church's property for the purpose of a church youth and family center. The EECC has conducted Christmas tree sales on the site in past years. According to the applicant, approval was done administratively. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Lexington Avenue South - Soderholm; zoned Planned Development (PD) and guided Neighborhood Business East - Lexington Hills 1" Addition; zoned Planned Development (PD) and guided Mixed Residential, 6-12 units/acre (D -III) West - Single Family Residential; Residential Single Family (R-1) and Agricultural (A) EVALUATION OF RE UEST The City Zoning Code allows for seasonal outdoor sales as a conditional use within a public facilities zoning districts of the city, subject to the adopted standards. The applicant has applied for a Conditional Use Permit for the seasonal outdoor sale of Christmas trees.

The proceeds from Christmas tree sales will be used fora `Barn Project'. Como,atibilin with Surrounding Area — The proposed site is zoned and guided for public facilities use. The seasonal outdoor sale of Christmas trees, which will be located in the Planning Report — Eagan Evangelical Covenant Church October 28, 1997 Page 4 southeast corner of the parking lot, does not appear to be obtrusive to surrounding areas. This is a temporary event that will occur from November 15' until December 20'. The amount of traffic that maybe generated from this event will not likely exceed the amount of traffic that is presently audible at the retail area to the south of the site on Diffley Road. Site Plan — The site plan shows the proposed tree lot, warming shelter and tree storage area to be located at the southeast corner of the parking lot. Five temporary lighting fixtures that will be installed around the tree lot to allow sales during evening hours. The lighting will be halogen suitable for outdoor use. They will be mounted on poles and aimed in such a manner as to illuminate the trees and not shine on surrounding streets. The tree lot will be fenced with wire and a wooden slat type of fencing. Excess trees stock will be stored to the south of the proposed tree lot. Access/Circulation — The proposed location of the tree lot will not interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic on-site. The tree lot is proposed to be placed on the grassy area on the southeast corner of the parking lot. There is a single access to the site off of Lexington Way. Signage - The applicant is proposing a banner along Cliff Road. All signage shall conform to City Code standards. City Code requires the applicant to obtain a sign permit by the City.

Setbacks — City Code requires a seasonal outdoor sale to be a minimum of 10 feet from any property line. The proposed display area meets that required setback from adjacent properties. Parking — Currently, there are 83 parking spaces on-site. Parking associated with the outdoor sales event does not appear likely to spill over onto adjacent properties. Parking for this event will be contained within the parking area designated for the church. The request complies with Conditions A through E of the City Code Chapter 11, Section 11. 10, Subd. 29.4, Seasonal Outdoor Sales; however, Condition G requires that the sale area be surfaced with concrete or an approved equivalent to control dust and erosion. The proposed event will occur during the months of November and December. Snow and ice should provide an acceptable surface for the sale of Christmas trees. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed seasonal outdoor sale of Christmas trees at the Eagan Evangelical Covenant Church will be located at the southeast corner of the parking lot.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY In 1995, Lot 7, Block 1, Sibley Terminal Industrial Park was subdivided into three lots, Tan Me Addition. D.G Welding is located on Lot 1, Block 1, Tan Me Addition (1.95 acres). i,s Planning Report - D.G. Welding - CUP October 28, 1997 Page 3 EXISTING CONDITIONS The welding shop and office are permitted uses and the 18,112 s.f, building is currently under construction. According to the applicant the storage of, raw steel, finished products, company vehicles and a trailer (used to move finished product) are associated with the principal use. D.G. Welding employs approximately 19 people and specializes in custom welding. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Bachman's; zoned I-1; guided IND. South - Tan Me office & Warehouse; zoned I-1, guided IND. East - Henning Rhode; zoned I-1, guided IND. West - City of Eagan; zoned I-1; guided IND. EVALUATION OF REQUES Site Plan - The site plan shows the proposed outdoor storage to be located in the rear portion of the site. Two main areas, identified on the site plan, specifically designate the outdoor storage locations. The site nearest the building is approximately 360 s.f, and the larger 1,167 s.f area is located along the retaining wall at the north end of the parking lot. According to the applicant the storage areas would be used for storage of structural steel and finished product before shipping. The area is surfaced with bituminous pavement and concrete curb. The rear parking lot is proposed to be completely fenced with a 6' chain link fence; a gate is located on the east side of the building. The site plan indicates a future accessory building, it is not yet known when or if this building will be constructed. The applicant is proposing 35 parking spaces, 14 - 10'x 18' customer parking spaces and 21-9'x 18' employee spaces. Forty-one spaces area required by Code. Six spaces are identified on the plan as proof of parking. Landsca in - A landscape plan was submitted with the building permit. The plan provides screening of the storage area from Sun Drive (private road) Grading and Utilities - The grading and utilities plan are acceptable. Planning Report - D.G. Welding - CUP October 28, 1997 Page 4 Compatibili!y with Surrounding Area -. Many of the businesses in the area have outdoor storage areas utilized for company trucks, equipment, containers, and trucks. The outdoor storage site is located in an inconspicuous area. Its proposed location on the rear side of the building, the topography and landscaping should screen this from view. Access/Street Design - Access to the site is from Sun Drive which is a private drive to serve Tan Me, D.G. Welding, and a future use to be located on the vacant Lot 3, Block 1, Tan Me Addition. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed outdoor storage area is located in an area of minimal visibility. The use of outdoor storage as proposed appears compatible with the area and the standards set forth for outdoor storage by a business. The outdoor storage areas have been defined and do not compete with parking or landscaped areas. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED The action for consideration is to recommend approval or denial of the proposed Conditional Use Permit allowing outdoor storage structural steel, finished product, company vehicles and a trailer subject to the following conditions. The Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded at Dakota County within 60 days of its approval by the City Council. 2. The storage shall not exceed 6' in height. 3.

RYAN CONSTRUCTION ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve/deny a Conditional Use Permit to allow a trucking facility (Mats, Inc.) on Lot 3, Block 2, Eagandale Corporate Center, located on the south side of Aldrin Drive in the SE 1/4 of Section 11. FACTS: R.J. Ryan, on behalf of Mats, Inc., is requesting approval of a trucking facility that is adjacent to and closely matches the Hoovestal Trucking facility approved by Council action earlier this year. • The request appears to meet performance standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance regarding building and parking setbacks, number of parking stalls, and most performance standards required. There are, however, some minor outstanding issues that can be resolved at the time of building permit issuance. The Advisory Planning Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. ISSUES: • Additional landscaping should be added along the east and west sides of the site and plant materials should also be installed in the parking islands located in the employee parking area. Architectural standards in the industrial zoning district must also be met.

F. Will have vehicular ingress and egress to the property, which does not create traffic congestion, or interfere with traffic on surrounding public streets. G. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. BACKGROUND/EXISTING CONDITIONS The Eagandale Corporate Center was subdivided and platted in 1995. A conditional use permit was granted for Hoovestol, Inc in 1995 to allow a truck terminal and sales and service of trucks and trailers on the adjacent site to the east. The site is largely open with no significant vegetation. It does appear that the site has been graded. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Under construction (future site of Dart Transit Company Warehouse); zoned Industrial (I-1) and guided Industrial (IND) South - Stock Lumber and Terminal Warehouse Company; zoned Industrial (I-1) and guided Industrial (IND) East - Hoovestol, Inc.; zoned Industrial (I-1) and guided Industrial (IND) West- Vacant; zoned Industrial (I-1) and guided Industrial (IND) EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposed Use - Mats, Inc. is a LTL (less then truck load carrier) that operates on a regional basis. They specialize in the movement of air and surface freight. According to the applicant, almost half of the business is airfreight related. However, their main source of revenue is from freight movements between the Chicago and Twin Cities terminals with service to points beyond. Mats, Inc. has been leasing terminal space at Air Cargo City at the Minneapolis, St. Paul International Airport for twenty-five years. Due to the addition of the new north/south runway at the airport that requires the removal of their present terminal by the year 2001, the applicant is proposing to relocate the business to this site. According the applicant, more then half of their 1a 7 Planning Report — Mats, Inc. October 28; 1997 Page 3 customers have relocated to Eagan making this site an ideal location. Not only will this site be a terminal for cross -dock operations, it will be the location of Mats' Corporate Headquarters. There are currently 60 employees, 45 of which will be based in the Eagan terminal. The present hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 5:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Compatibihiv with Surrounding Area — The proposed truck terminal appears compatible with other uses in this area. The site is completely surrounded by other industrial uses, which include several truck terminals, manufacturing and warehouse facilities. Setbacks - City Code Section 11.20, Subd. 20 requires a minimum 40 foot building setback along a public right-of-way; a 20 foot setback from the side yard; and a 30 foot rear yard setback in an industrial zoning district. The proposed office and warehouse meet these City Code setback requirements. Parkin</Streets/Access/Circulation - The site plan indicates 93 parking stalls for employee parking, 4 of which are designated handicapped stalls. City Code requires 82 parking stalls based on the proposed building usage of 9,066 s.f. office and 25,000 s.f. warehouse. The stalls and drive aisles in the employee parking area meet code requirements for size and width. According to the applicant, they operate 30 tractors and 40 trailers of which 23 tractors and 30 trailers will be based in Eagan. The proposed site plan indicates trailer storage on the southeast corner'of the site. Trucks and employee vehicle access is proposed at two locations from Aldrin Drive. Aldrin Drive was recently constructed as part of the City Project No. 688. Building Design — The proposed structure will include a 9,066 s.f. office area and 25,000 s.f. warehouse. The main entry of the office area faces north. There are two entrances into the building. The materials that will be used for the entries include standing seam metal roof and fascia. The exterior architectural material for the office building consists of Rockface Concrete Masonry Unit (C.M.U.). The base of the office building will be painted. It does not appear that there will be any scoring on this portion of the building. The remainder of the building will also be painted. There are three bands in the middle portion of the building that extend the length of the office building and on the sides. These bands are evenly spaced and will be painted. The upper portion of the building will include painted accent blocks evenly spaced across the face of the building. The color of the building is not identified on the plans. The base of the building and the portions of the building that do not include the bands and accent blocks have been indicated to have single scoring. In accordance with City Code, these blocks must be scored at least twice. The rectangular warehouse area includes 39 dock doors. The applicant has indicated that the exterior architectural material to be used for the warehouse building will match the base of the office building (Rockface Concrete Masonry Unit, which is painted). Along the top portion of no Planning Report — Mats, Inc. October 28, 1997 Page 4 the warehouse building a painted band has been indicated on the site plan. This band appears to be consistent around the entire building. The roofline for both the office building and warehouse is flat. The plans show that the top of the roof will have pre -finished cap flashing. Signage — No signage other than address numbers have been identified on the site plan. According to the applicant, a monument sign will be installed in the future. All signage shall conform to City Code standards. Trash Enclosure — No trash/recyclable materials enclosure is shown on the plans. According to the applicant, all trash and recyclable materials storage will be inside the principal building. Landscaping — With minor modifications, the landscape plan is acceptable. The foundation planting consists of shrubs (spirea, honey suckle, hydrangea) with landscape bedding of rock mulch and five Flowering Crab trees will also be planted in the front of the building. The landscaping plan shows that the two stand-alone islands in the employee parking area will consist of rock mulch. These islands should be planted and irrigated. The landscaping along Aldrin Drive appears to comply with the 75% screening of the parking area required by City Code. Four Blackhill Spruce will be planted in the center. On each side of these spruces will be three Skyline Locust with five Redtwigged Dogwood (low growing shrubs). It appears on the site plan that a wall will be constructed extending east and west beyond the office building in order to screen the dock area. Three spruce trees will be planted in front of the walls on each side. Along the east and west perimeter of the site, Amur Maple trees will be planted. However, only three trees on the east and west perimeters of the site have been indicated on the landscape plan to be planted beyond the office building. They appear to be spaced approximately 80 feet apart. Additional Maple trees should be planted along the east and west sides of the property. At the rear of the site there is a 12 -foot grade that goes down to a pond to the west of the site. It has been indicated on the landscaping plan that all areas shall irrigated and sodded. Lighting — There are two designated recessed can lights above each entry of the office building. On the east and west elevations of the warehouse building, there are three 250 watt H.P.S. lights. On the rear portion of the building, there is one 250 watt H.P.S. light and two down lights above the doors. No lighting has been identified in the employee parking or loading areas. All lighting must meet Code requirements. Grading/Wetlands — The preliminary grading plan is not acceptable. The grading plan depicts the filling of portion of Pond EP -2.s, a wetland mitigation pond created with the Eagandale Corporate Center development located west of the site. The grading of the site should not encroach within the drainage and utility easement for Pond EP -3.2. The grading plan also does not accurately reflect the existing grades of the Hoovestol development on Lot 4, Block 2 to the / a Planning Report — Mats, Inc. October 28, 1997 Page 5 east and how this development will match those grades. The grading plan should be revised to accurately reflect these grades. Grading easements should be obtained for grading, if any, on adjacent Lot 4, Block 2 prior to the issuance of a building permit. Storm Draina�:�e/Water Qualir — The storm drainage plan is acceptable. Storm sewer of sufficient size, depth and capacity has been stubbed to the site as part of city Project 688 — Eagandale Corporate Center Streets & Utilities. The developer is proposing to connect an internal storm sewer system to the stub. Utilities — Sanitary sewer and water main stubs are available for connection within Aldrin Drive right-of-way. Parks and Recreation — A park and trail cash dedication will be required at the time of the issuance of the building permit. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The applicant is proposing to construct an office and truck terminal warehouse, which will house Mats' Corporate Headquarters and be the primary Minnesota terminal location for the company. The proposed truck terminal appears compatible with other uses in this area. The site is completely surrounded by other industrial uses, which include several truck terminals, manufacturing and warehouse facilities. No signage has been identified on the site. Any signage to be added to the site must conform to Code requirements and issued a sign permit. Landscaping along Aldrin Drive and along the front of the office building appears to be adequate; however, additional trees should be added along the east and west sides of the site extending to the rear. Plant material should be installed on the stand-alone islands in the employee parking area. The site plan indicates that all City standards are met for building setbacks and parking requirements. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To approve or deny a Conditional Use Permit for Mats, Inc. to allow a truck terminal on Lot 3, Block 2, Eagandale Corporate Center located on the south side of Aldrin Drive subject to the conditions listed below: 1.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subdivisions 4C and 4D provide the following. Subdivision 4C states that the Planning Commission shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall issue such conditional use permits only if it finds that such use at the proposed location: A. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. 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 compatilhle 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. a 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. BACKGROUNDMISTORY The property in question was rezoned from Planned Development (PD) to LB and subdivided in 1995 as part of the Allina Health Systems Oak Point Clinic that is located on the corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington Avenue. The Allina subdivision resulted in one lot and three outlots. EXISTING CONDITIONS The 2.1 -acre subject parcel is currently platted as Outlot A, Town Centre 100 16'bAddition. The site slopes gently to the northeast and has been previously graded. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Eagan Oaks Apartments; zoned PD and designated CA South - Undeveloped; zoned LB and designated CA East - Allina Clinic; zoned LB and designated CA West - Valvoline Instant Oil Change; zoned PD and designated CA EVALUATION OF REQUEST The proposed bank will operate as Minnwest Bank — Eagan and is a branch of Minnwest Bank Montivideo. Minnwest Bank has total of 15 locations mostly in west and west central Minnesota with total assets exceeding $550 million. The proposed bank is a permitted use in the LB Zoning District; however, the drive-through facility requires a CUP. Comhatibiliiv with Surrounding, Area - The use appears to be compatible with existing and anticipated uses in this specific area as well as the surrounding area. Site Plan — With one minor modification, the site plan is acceptable. The Site Plan calls for a 5,000 S.F. bank building with three drive-through lanes plus one unencumbered bypass lane. The plans also reflect a potential expansion of the bank building to add an additional 5,000 S.F. If the bank expansion occurs and the five future parking spaces shown just north of the site entrance are constructed, the conflict created by vehicles entering/exiting the site and the vehicles maneuvering in/out of those stalls will present a safety issue that can be avoided. The five future stalls should be relocated to the east side of the drive-through lane and shown as angled parking. If those stalls are constructed in the future, they should be signed `Employee Parking'. . Setbacks - All LB building and parking setbacks are met. Drive-throw7h — All three drive-through lanes appear to provide adequate stacking and the by- pass lane will allow vehicles to avoid congestion caused by the stacking. Parking — Twenty parking stalls are required for a 5,000 S.F. bank. The site plan provides 25 stalls to be constructed with the initial development and also provides for another 15 stalls that are shown as "proof of parking". If the second phase of the bank building is constructed, the parking available can be expanded to accommodate the additional 5,000 S.F. or a total of 40 stalls. Buildinc Architecture — The brick and rock face block building will have asphalt shingles and be approximately 24' tall. The developer has not provided the building color scheme but it should be compatible with the existing clinic located to the east. Signage — The site plan calls for a pylon sign to be located on the northwest corner of the site perpendicular to Yankee Doodle Road and building signage on the north and west building facade. The pylon sign is allowed without a separate Conditional Use Permit as part of the Town Centre Pylon Sign Agreement. All signage should be consistent with the City Sign Ordinance. Trash/Rec3lcling — The developer is proposing the trash/recycling containers to be stored outside within an enclosure attached to the building. The enclosure should be constructed to match the principal building. (4 Landscaping — The Landscape Plan is acceptable. The plan provides a good mixture of plant material and continues the planting theme established by the Allina clinic to the east. Gradinc/Wetlands — With minor modifications the preliminary Grading Plan is acceptable. The plan shows a 4 -foot high retaining wall along the east edge of the development site, a portion of which is located within the existing drainage and utility easement for the storm sewer outlet pipe in the northeast corner of the site. The final plan should be revised to show the retaining wall outside of the easement boundary. There are no protected wetlands on site. Storm Drainaue/Water Quality — The preliminary storm drainage plan is acceptable. The site will drain through a private storm sewer system to a water quality pond on the east edge of the site, which was constructed as part of the Allina development to accommodate and treat runoff from the subject site. The pond does not completely handle all of the water quality treatment requirements for the entire thirteen -acre Town Centre 100 16`h Addition site. A cash water quality dedication will be prorated for each of the parcels. The contribution for the subject site, Outlot A, is $2,875. Utilities — With minor modifications, the preliminary Utility Plan is acceptable. Sanitary sewer is available for connection; however, this connection will require within Dakota county right-of- way. The developer will need to obtain permit approval from the county prior to the City issuing a building permit. The final plan should also show a manhole for inspection and monitoring purposes of the sanitary sewer service at the right-of-way line. Access — A single access is provided to the site from the existing private drive currently serving the Allina site. Tree Preservation — There are no trees located on this previously graded site. Parks and Recreation — Park dedication was previously satisfied with the creation of the Town Centre 100 Planned Development. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed land use is consistent with the existing zoning and Guide Plan land use designation and should fit well with this quadrant of the central area. With minor modifications to some of the plans, the proposed bank and drive-through will meet all City development requirements. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approvaUdenial of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a drive-through facility as part of a bank for Lot 1. Block 1, Town Centre 100 176 Addition located at the southeast intersection of Yankee Doodle Road -and O'Leary Drive in the northeast '/< of Section 15.

If those stalls are constructed in the future, they should be signed `Employee Parking'. 3. The brick and rock face block building with an asphalt -shingled roof shall be of a color scheme that is compatible with the existing clinic located to the east. 4. All signage shall be consistent with the City Sign Ordinance. 5. The trash/recycling containers enclosure shall be attached to the building constructed to match the principal building. 6.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY This property was originally part of the Murphy farmstead. It was split off from the rest of the farm when Murphy Parkway was constructed. The eastern portion of this site was also acquired by MnDOT for I -35E right-of-way. The State recently turned the right-of-way back to the City who, in turn, gave it back to Leo Murphy. Springbrook Corp. recently purchased the property from Mr. Murphy. The applicant must obtain assurance from MnDOT that they no longer need the property for right-of-way purposes. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is somewhat mounded and is higher than Murphy Parkway and I -35E. There is a grove of significant woodlands on the site. The rear lot lines of the proposed subdivision abut the I -35E right-of-way. Planning Report — Murphy Farm 2" Addition October 28, 1997 Pa -e 3 SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide . plan designations surround the subject property: North - Single family (Murphy Fane) and large lot residential; zoned R-1 and A, guided D -I and D -H South - I -35E and Bieter property; zoned A; guided D -H East - I -35E and townhomes; zoned R-3, guided D-11 West - Single family (Murphy Farm); zoned R-1, guided D -H EVALUATION OF RE UEST Rezoning The proposed rezoning from Agriculture to R-1 Single Family is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan which designates the property for D-11 Mixed Residential (00-6 units/acre). The proposed R-1 zoning will allow development of single family residential units. Preliminary Subdivision Lots - The proposed subdivision consists of 5 lots for single family development. All lots meet code requirements for area and width. The minimum lot size allowed in R-1 is 12,000 s.f. Proposed lots range in size from 15,920 to 21,131 s.f. Densi - The density resulting from 5 lots on 2 acres is about 2.5 units per acre. This is within the allowed density limits for R-1 zoning which allows a maximum of 3.6 units per acre. Corr ,atibili[y with Surrounding Area - The proposed development will be compatible with existing and new development in the surrounding area. Setbacks - All of the proposed lots are of sufficient size and shape to be developed without setback variances. Grading Wetlands - The preliminary grading plan is acceptable. The site generally slopes toward the north and is open except for a woodland area in the middle of the property. The site ranges from 4-26 feet below Deerwood Drive which is located along its south border. There are no jurisdictional wetlands on this site. The preliminary grading plan shows grading on MnDOT right-of-way to raise the elevation of the existing berm along I -35E. Any grading within I-35 right-of-way will require permit approval from MnDOT. Storm Drainage/Water (2uality - Existing storm sewer within Murphy Parkway, built with the �(o7 Planning Report — Murphy Farm 2°d Addition October 28, 1997 Pa,Ye 4 Blackhawk Ponds Addition, will accommodate storm runoff from this development. This storm sewer flows north to Pond BP -29, a stormwater basin which drains to Blackhawk Lake. Runoff from this development will eventually reach Blackhawk Lake after traveling through two treatment basins. The development area is too small to accommodate an on-site treatment basin so a cash water quality dedication is recommended by the APrC. Utilities - The preliminary utility plan is acceptable. Sanitary sewer is available at the north edge of the site within Murphy Parkway for connection and extension to serve the development. The developer is proposing to extend the sanitary sewer along the south and east boulevard within the existing right-of-way and easement of Murphy Parkway. Water main is available for service connection along the north edge of the development. This water main was constructed under the recent City public improvement — Project No. 722 — Murphy Parkway Water Main Improvements. Access - Public street access for all lots is available directly onto Murphy Parkway. Easements/Ri ,:!hts of Wav/Permits - As mentioned above, the developer should obtain a MnDOT permit for any grading within the I -35E right-of-way adjacent to this development. The developer will be responsible for acquiring all regulatory agency permits required by the affected agency prior to final subdivision approval. Tree Preservation - Lots 1, 2, and 3 of the proposed five lots have significant vegetation on them. To date, neither a tree preservation plan or a tree inventory have been submitted for these lots. According to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance, an individual lot tree preservation plan will be required at the time of building permit application for these three lots. Parks and Recreation - Park dedication was satisfied in conjunction with approval of Murphy Farm Addition. At that time, 3.55 acres of land was dedicated to the City for incorporation into Blackhawk Park. The APrC is recommending cash trails dedication for the 2 acre subdivision. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed rezoning to R-1 Single Family is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan which designated this property for D -H Mixed Residential (0-6 units/cre). The proposed Preliminary Subdivision (Murphy Farm 2°d Addition) will create 5 lots for single family development. All of the proposed lots meet code requirements for size and widtY and will result in a density of 2.5 units per acre.

Planner Dudziak introduced this item. Ms. Dudziak highlighted the information presented in City stalls planning report dated October 24, 1997. Ms. Dudziak noted the background and history, the surrounding uses and the existing conditions of the subject property. The applicant, Tim Draft is the owner of the Eagan franchise. Nir. Kraft stated that they are currently in Eagan Auto Mall on Pilot Knob Road and need room to expand. ARRA will take over their space in the Auto Mall and he wants to build a larger facility, Jeff Amerman, the architect, was also present; Ivlr. Amerman questioned the need for a gabled roof, and indicated, it would add to the cost of the building, and he felt the brick materials and smaller scale of the building can create the appropriate transition without the gabled roof. Mr. Amerman also stated that if there are rooftop units, they will be screened. Commission Chair Heyl stated Ler concern for the visual appeal factor, that the building blend in with the car wash. She questioned the appropriateness of auto uses so close to residential. Bruce Miller, representing the owner of Eagan Tower Partnership, explained that his property has been difficult to find a buyer for. The property does not have great visibility and exposure, so development needs to be a service or destination business, not rctail that depends on exposure, Member Frank indicated he thought the gabled roof would not look appropriate on this type of facility, adding that the short end of the building hm Denmark Avenue. He asked staff why that condition was included. Staff responded that it was primarily for continuity among buildings because similarity in architecture in future development of this land was called for in the previous approval of the car wash The Commission agreed they would be comfortable removing the condition requiring a gabled roof. 61 432 3780 10-31-97 03:43PM P025 #44 SENT BY: 10-31-97 ; 14:39 ; SEVERSON SHELDON 612 661 4612;#26/90 R=93% Page 34 Dctaba 28,1997 ADVISORY PLA109W COMMISSION Member Burdorf commentod that he did not think the auto -related uses were a problem in this location and that the City opened the door for that kind of development here with the approval of the car wash. Member Carlson stated she felt that the existing businesses in Eagan that are successful and need to expand should be able to do so in Eagan and the City should be interested in keeping successful businesses in the City. Ultimately, it is the market demand that determines what types of businesses want to develop on these kinds of in -fill and leftover parcels_ Member Carlson moved, Member Frank seconded, a motion to recommend approval of a Preliminary Subdivision Crown Centre 70 Twentieth Addition) to create one lot (Lot 1, Block 1) and one outlot consisting of 7.63 acres currently platted as Outlot A, Town Centre 70 Nineteenth Addition on the west side of Denmark Avenue north of Duckwood Drive in the NW's. of Section 15, subject to the following conditions: Standard Conditions 1.

BACKGROUNDMISTORY A movie theater and associated parking lot was previously proposed for this site as part of an overall concept for. Town Centre. However, the movie theater was built further north near Yankee Doodle Road and this property remained undeveloped. Early in 1996 the City approved a request to construct a Class II restaurant (Dairy Queen) at the south end of this parcel, but instead the Dairy Queen located on a lot in Eagan Promenade. In the summer of 1996, the City Planning Report — Kennedy Transmission October 28, 1997 Page 4 approved development of a self -serve car wash that has been constructed at the north end of this property. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is open and generally slopes from east to west, with the southern portion of the site occupied by a detention pond (JP -66). There is no significant vegetation. A service road that provides service and delivery access to Wal-Mart, Kohl's and Eagan Town Centre, runs along the west edge of the property. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Town Centre Car Wash; Zoned CSC Community Shopping Center; Guided CA Central Area South - Townhomes; Zoned PD Planned Development; Guided CA Central Area East - Forest Ridge Apartments; Zoned R-4 Multiple Residential, Guided CA Central Area West - Kohl's/Wal-Mart/Eagan Town Centre; Zoned CSC Community Shopping Center; Guided CA Central Area EVALUATION OF REQUEST A. Preliminary Subdivision (Town Center 70 Twentieth Addition) Lots — The proposed Preliminary Subdivision consists of one lot (Lot 1, Block 1 - .72 acres) and one outlot (Outlot A — 6.9 acres). Outlot A consists of property for future development and includes a 68,913 square foot pond easement. Only Lot 1, Block 1, is currently being considered for development. A master development plan was submitted with the previous development application for the car wash to guide future development of this property. The site layout and lot configuration appears consistent with that master plan (dated 9/18/95 and last revised 7/29/96), and that master plan should be used to guide future development on proposed Outlot A. Setbacks — In the CSC zoning district, minimum building setbacks of ten feet from side and rear lot lines, and 50 feet adjacent or across the street from residential development are required. All of these required building setbacks are satisfied. A continuation of the internal service drive to provide access within Outlot A is setback 20 feet from the east property line adjacent to Denmark Avenue. Grading /Wetlands — The preliminary grading plan is acceptable. The site generally slopes from east to west and is open. The preliminary grading plan shows a maximum cut of seven feet with no significant fill areas. The proposed building elevation will be approximately five feet in Planning Report — Kennedy Transmission October 28, 1997 Page 5 elevation below the existing car wash building to the north. No filling or draining of the wetland associated with Pond JP -66 is allowed. There are no jurisdictional wetlands on the proposed development site. Storm Draina+e/Water Qualiv. — The preliminary storm drainage plan is acceptable. Storm sewer was constructed with previous development along the west edge of the site and is available for connection. The developer is proposing to connect the internal storm sewer on Lot 1 to this existing storm sewer. This storm sewer drains to Pond JP -66, a Class 6 Sediment Basin in the northwest corner of Denmark Avenue and Duckwood Drive. Pond JP -66 discharges through an existing storm sewer to Fish Lake (Pond JP -1). Utilities — The preliminary utility plan is acceptable. Sanitary sewer and water main is readily available for connection along the west edge of the development. Access/Street Design — Access to the site is proposed from the two service drive stubs to the north provided with the Town Centre 70 Nineteenth Addition development. This development will also extend these service drives to the south edge of Lot 1 for future development of Outlot A to provide internal circulation between businesses along Denmark Avenue, thereby minimizing access locations onto Denmark Avenue. The west service drive also connects to the existing service drive to Wal-Mart and Kohl's which is covered by an existing ingress -egress easement that allows this development access. Easements/Rip-hts of Wav/ Permits — Cross -easements for the internal service drives as shown on the master plan for the remainder of the undeveloped property should be reviewed by City staff prior to filing of the plat. Tree Preservation — There are no significant trees on the property. Parks and Recreation — The APrC is recommending a cash parks and trails dedication. B. Conditional Use Permit Kennedy Transmission has been located in the Eagan Auto Mall at the northeast corner of Pilot Knob Road and Duckwood Drive since 1988. The applicant has been looking for a suitable relocation site in order to accommodate the growth in business and because of the limited expansion space within the auto mall. The current facility has three service bays, whereas the proposed free-standing facility on Denmark Avenue would have six service bays. Compatibilit-v with Surrounding Area — The proposed use within the CSC zoning district is allowed as a conditional use. Because of the proximity of this site to existing residential development, concerns are still present regarding the piece -meal development of this infill property and the compatibility of additional auto -related uses. The developer was made aware of these concerns and has provided a narrative (see attached) explaining his site selection process. 70 Planning Report — Kennedy Transmission October 28, 1997 Page 6 During the City's review of the car wash development plans, in order to achieve compatibility with the existing development consistency in building design and landscaping, safe and logical traffic circulation and discreet signage and lighting were noted as critical to making development in this area compatible with adjacent residential uses. These various elements of the proposal are evaluated in this report for such consistency as well as for compliance with zoning code requirements. Building Desitin — The 4,844 square foot building has six service bays. On the east end at the front of the building are the office, customer waiting area, restrooms, and employee break room, showers and locker room. Exterior architectural materials consist of a light color face brick with darker brick accents, however, the specific color was not identified. The roof line is flat and the walls are 18 feet tall with a parapet extending an additional two feet on the west and east ends giving the appearance of a 20 foot high building. No rooftop mechanical equipment was shown on the building elevations, but any such equipment should be screened from view from the public right of way. The surrounding buildings contain a variety of colors and materials from white block and turquoise trim (Town Center) to gray painted block with navy, red and white trim (Wal-Mart) and tan rock -faced block (Kohl's), making it difficult to coordinate a color scheme. The recently constructed car wash was built of beige brick, and has a gabled roof with asphalt shingles. During review of the car wash development, it was noted that future development south of the car wash should incorporate a coordinated color scheme and architecture to provide visual continuity in this infill area along Denmark Avenue. Therefore, the brick should be a beige or tan color scheme similar to that of the car wash building, and the building should have a gabled roof with asphalt shingles also similar to the existing car wash to the north. Signage — Wall signage is shown on the east building elevation only. The applicant proposes to relocate the sign from the existing facility in the auto mall to this new building. A monument sign is shown on the east side of the property. The base of the monument sign is brick to match the building, with a 4 -foot high by 8 -foot wide sign panel. The proposed signage appears to be consistent with the requirements of the City Sign Ordinance. A separate sign permit is required prior to installation of each sign. Trash Enclosure — No trash/recyclable materials enclosure is shown on the plans. All trash and recyclable materials storage will be inside the principal building. Parking/Circulation — The site layout attempts to maximize the number of parking stalls. A total of 28 parking stalls (two of them handicapped accessible) are provided. This number exceeds what would be required for an auto service station, but falls four short of what would be required for a retail use should the use of this building change in the future. The building is set at the minimum 20 -foot setback from the north property line, and most of the parking is along the south side of the property at the minimum five-foot setback. Additional parking is provided at the west and east ends of the building. The parking stalls at the east end of the building are nearest to the /9� Planning Report — Kennedy Transmission October 28, 1997 Page 7 customer entrance. Access to these parking stalls is directly off the shared access drive on the east side of the property. However, because the access drive is a private drive that serves the existing car wash, the proposed Kennedy Transmission, and future developments on Outlot A, the traffic along this drive is not anticipated to interfere with access to those parking stalls. Landscaoinr — With minor modifications, the landscape plan is acceptable. The landscape ordinance requires screening of parking lots from the public right of way, and irrigation of all landscaped and green areas. The grade change between Denmark Avenue and the east service drive provides screening from the public right of way. The proposed landscape materials are consistent with those used for the car wash. Two overstory trees are proposed along Denmark Avenue, and ornamental trees along the south and west edges of the parking lot. Foundation plantings for the building consist of shrubs (potentilla) on the east side of the building. Additional shrubs (spirea) are shown on the west end of the parking lot. Low -growing evergreens are proposed around the base of the monument sign and at the northeast and northwest corners of the building. Additional landscaping could be provided at the west end of the building by shifting the sidewalk away from the building to provide a landscape bed. Also, staff notes that the choice of landscape materials is primarily deciduous trees and shrubs, and the evergreen shrubs that are shown are a low -growing (6-8 inch height) variety. The landscape plan should be revised to include other plants that will provide a green element during the winter. Lighting — Site lighting is proposed to come mainly from wall paks on the building. A 10 foot light pole with a globe fixture is located on the east side of the building near the entrance, and a 20 foot light pole with a metal halide shoebox fixture is located on the west end of the site. The proposed shoebox fixture is tilted at an angle and could produce glare toward the apartments across Denmark Avenue. To minimize visibility of the source of light from off the site, the proposed angled light fixture should be replaced with one that is aimed directly downward. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The applicant is requesting a Preliminary Subdivision (Town Centre 70 Twentieth Addition) consisting of one lot and one outlot, and a Conditional Use Permit to construct a six -bay auto service facility on proposed Lot 1 in a CSC (Community Shopping Center) zoning district. The concerns that were raised during reviews of previous development proposals for this area regarding piece -meal development and compatibility with existing residential developments still remain. The issues identified in this report relate primarily to consistency among the commercial buildings and compatibility with surrounding existing uses, particularly the residential uses to the east. The car wash was the initial commercial building constructed on this infill site, and it set the stage as a model for additional development to the south. For this reason, the proposed Kennedy Transmission should be compatible in its site design, landscaping, architecture, building materials, color, and signage.

My failure to find another auto repair or parts business to share a three plus acre site on Krestwood Drive should greatly reduce concerns of a great influx of potential auto related business seeking C.U.P.'s in the foreseeable future. Over a two-year period, I contacted over twenty national and regional home offices of household name auto business to gamer even preliminary interest in the location. Because all but three had existing locations too close to Eagan's Town Centre area, they believed they were already servicing the Eagan area. Two of the remaining three were already working with the city in their expansion, and the third was looking for a larger parts warehouse location only. I'm aware of a preference by Eagan's city officials that auto related businesses not be spread over a large commercial area. The Eagan Auto Mall would then be a preferential location. I began Kennedy Transmission of Eagan in January 1988 after buying out and converting Trusty Transmission (an unsuccessful local business venture), to Kennedy. As the Eagan community has grown, the limited space available in the Auto Mall has not been sufficient to accommodate our growth, In my talks with the other business owners in the mall, I'm not aware of any other desires to relocate outside of the mall. It's my understanding ABRA will expand into Kennedy's vacated area, which will satisfy their need for expansion. Because Kennedy's current lease expiration on May of 1998 is not extendable due to the Landlord's expansion commitment to ABRA, it is extremely important that I ask for a footing and foundation permit to begin construction before the frost sets in during November. As Goodyear, Tires Plus and Big Wheel have been allowed, Kennedy Transmission's independent facility with a normal six bay configuration rather than the limiting three bay facility we currently occupy, will also prove to be a well utilized and needed business expansion for Eagan's residents.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT – CITY OF EAGAN ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve/deny an Ordinance Text Amendment allowing elementary and middle schools as a Conditional Use in the Business Park zoning district. FACTS: • At its regular meeting on October 7, 1997, the Eagan City Council directed staff to initiate a text amendment to the Business Park zoning district to allow for elementary and middle schools as a Conditional Use. This request was made by attorneys representing the Faithful Shepherd Catholic School which is proposing to locate an elementary -middle school on property currently zoned Business Park. The Advisory Planning Commission voted 6:1 in favor of the text amendment. • The Advisory Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendment. ISSUES: • An attorney representing a property owner north of Yankee Doodle Road and east of Eagandale Corporate Center 2nd Addition opposed the text amendment based on reasons of incompatibility of uses and safety. Advisory Planning Commission members discussed those issues and determined that a text amendment is valid because it is site specific. Safety issues and compatibility of uses would be analyzed and discussed in depth with an application for a Conditional Use Permit for an elementary or middle school.
