Eagan City Council December 4, 1996 Meeting Department Head Business FOR COUNCIL ACTION To support the Advisory Commission's recommendation for contingency closure plan for winter warming shelters if there is a shortage of staff. ► 11 skating and 2 tubing/sliding warming shelters require seasonal staff. ► Minimum of 35 staff are needed for the 1996/97 season. Five -seven are substitutes who step in when illness or school related conflicts occur for staff regularly scheduled. ► Beginning salary is $ 5.92/hour progressing in five years to $7.1 8/hour for returning staff. ► Competition for workers continues to increase with wages at some fast food establishments starting as high as $7.50/hour. ► The winter skating/sliding program is currently 15 staff short with winter activities scheduled to begin December 20. ► Staff prepared a contingency plan which was reviewed and supported by the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission. The plan provides a systematic method for closing and/or limiting hours at various sites based on the 1995/96 attendance. Memo outlining background and specific details of the contingency plan. MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: NOVEMBER 27,1996 SUBJECT: AGENDA INFORMATION FOR DECEMBER 4 1996 CITY COUNCIL MEETING ADOPT AGENDA/APPROVE MINUTES After approval is given to the December 4, 1996 City Council agenda, the regular meeting minutes for the November 19, 1996 City Council meeting and the minutes for the November 19, 1996 and the November 25, 1996 Special City Council meetings, the following items are in order for consideration. MEMO city of eagan DATE: November 27, 1996 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Tom Hedges, City Administrator FROM: Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation Dorothy Peterson, Superintendent of Recreation Jon Oyanagi, Recreation Supervisor SUBJECT: Seasonal Staff, Winter Skating and Tubing Program The purpose of this memorandum is to inform the Mayor and City Council of the status of recruitment of winter seasonal staff and contingency plans reviewed by the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission. Facts • In order to conduct a fully operational skating and sliding program, eleven (11) skating and two (2) tubing/sliding warming shelters require assignment of seasonal staff. Weekend daytime use of Blackhawk Park was included in the FY '96 and '97 budgets. • A minimum of 35 staff are needed. • Due to the seven day per week operation of most winter facilities, 5-7 of the above mentioned staff are substitutes. They step in when illness or school related conflicts occur for staff regularly scheduled at a site. • The salary schedule authorizes a beginning salary of $5.92 per hour. Returning staff progress in 5 years to $7.18. • Competition for high school and college age workers comes from small businesses in the community. Fast food establishments' help wanted signs are up continually. Taco Bell, for instance, recently advertised a $7.50 starting salary. • As of this date, the winter skating/sliding program is short 15 staff. • The winter activities are scheduled to begin, weather permitting, on December 20, 1996. Contingency plans reviewed by the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission in the event the winter program is not fully staffed by December 18 when in depth training of staff is scheduled to begin: Eliminate or delay opening of Class C non -programmed, low attendance sites. These are Lexington, Pilot Knob and Woodhaven. In a better case scenario, reduce hours at these three Class C sites to noon to 5:00 p.m. on weekends. This enables seasonal staff to work other sites during the week and weekend evenings. If Class C sites are eliminated or delayed and seasonal staff numbers are still short Class B, non -programmed sites; Carnelian and Ridgecliff, would next face reduced hours. (over) The question has been asked; why not use volunteers? • To ensure quality representation of the City and the Department of Parks and Recreation, a volunteer would be required to attend the rigorous training sessions and to submit to a criminal background check. In the best interest of the City, the Child Protection requirement of a background check is imperative in this volunteer scenario. • A volunteer would be needed to work a regular schedule as do seasonal employees. Why then would anyone volunteer? • The City's liability insurance would cover a volunteer within the scope of their duties for the City. If the volunteer were to be negligent or do anything illegal or immoral the insurance would not cover. • A volunteer would not be covered by the City's workman's compensation plan. Alternatives Despite having adjusted the seasonal salary schedule last year in order to be more competitive, part-time and seasonal wages offered by others have continued to increase. Finding seasonal employees is difficult. One alternative is to again adjust starting wages to be more competitive. Each 25 cents per hour would cost approximately $1,225 annually. The Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission's recommendation is: Utilize the priority system for staffing sites should a staff shortage occur. Adjust hours of operation for the warming shelters for the 1996-97 winter recreation season. Add Blackhawk Park as a staffed winter recreation site on weekends and school vacation days only. cs10/11-27mem.dp MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE EAGAN CITY COUNCIL Eagan, Minnesota ....November 19, 1996 A regular meeting of the Eagan C!ty.

Councilmember Hunter asked for clarification regarding the ice issue. City Attorney Sheldon stated that the only place in the ordinance where ice was left in was Section B which states snow and ice are not allowed to be placed in the public right-of-way. Councilmember Hunter said that paragraph A (1) states that all snow shall be removed and there is no reference to the removal of ice.::: : Sikandar Bashir, 4332 Dorche:Court, 6ild'ressed the Council and said they live on the comer where there is a bus stop.

Director of Public Works Colbert noted that the School District will not rA8ir'ctm*-i§id it Wks.-:h*-"nd their walking boundaries/property lines. Sue Cowpa, resident, addressed the Council and asked who will maintain the easement between 3911 and 3923 Denmark Avenue.

Colb ;tO-ft'tlie-,dr In*Ace states both side yards and front yards of sidewalks have to be maintained by thecent property mer regardless of length. Mayor Egan stated this is a p$bk-.program and that;:tome problems may arise and solutions will EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; NOVEMBER 19, 1996 PAGE 6 have to be worked out. He added this is :a starting place and adjustments can be made later on Ron Goedken, 3420 Golfview Drive, addressed the Council and asked for clarification on what the difference is between ice and snow.Hg:sYc4:::i:::ba safer to leave the snow on the sidewalks rather than clearing it away and exposi66- erj: i ::pp55ibly creating more hazardous conditions. Councilmember Wachter stated that the:4>rdinance is not requiring the removal of ice. Councilmember Awada added that the Council is trying., -to over -burden residents. She further added that it is safer to clear the sidewalks and have the poss6% of some ice being exposed rather than having children walk in the streets. She noted that it is hard to get all the ice off and if salt is used it can kill the grass. Councilmember Hunter stated that the other reason ice is not included in the ordinance is because of the potential liability. He further stated that if the ordinance states snow and ice must be removed and the City or the resident does not remove it and: -someone falls, the ordinance could be referenced in regard to liability. Councilmember Wachter addedAhe main::purpose of the ordinance is to ensure sidewalks are cleared so children do not have to walk:�j::deep s! i* and are not forced to walk in the street. X. Aisha Bashir, 4332 Dorchester 'Court, addressed the Council and asked who would be liable if someone were to fall on the sidewalk ori:t!'ii:Stppry:::::Skielo asked if they would be expected to put salt on the sidewalk. City Attorney Shefd'oh-:S%' id::#rat -M-' inance does not affect or change anyone's liability. He added that the property owner has liability for the sidewalk now just like they have always had liability for their sidewalk and this policy would also apply to the City if it is responsible for a particular sidewalk. He further added that this ordinance will not impose more liability nor remove any liability. He said that every homeowner has an obligation to keep their sidewalk safe. Mayor Egan reiterated that this is a pilot: prOglfidsid Will be tested to see how well it works.

City Adrptlxigfrator Hed"' ed that the letters had been received. Mr. Poppler stated that when he received -M6 draft copy of flim::assessment report for this project he was surprised and frustrated to see the report.showed a higher assessment than the feasibility report forecasted. He discussed the configuration of the met. He identifiedift. various costs associated with this project EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; NOVEMBER 19, 1996 PAGE 7 and questioned why the indirect (engineering) costs doubled. Councilmember Awada noted that Mr. Poppler is objecting to paying the verificai<bn charge pertaining to the sewer and water services, because he told the engineering firm the extensioris''were already there, which was later verified. She asked what the engineering cost was in regard to th*:a}xpetlse::: :4ndicated he did not have the cost broken down by engineering costs but rather by. t >r :tAs ,S;:biik.. totalled $2,300 and other indirect costs which totalled $1,356. He said the total:e$sessment for*venfication services was $3,656. Mr. Poppler stated that since the'96me engineering firm supervised this proposal 34 years ago and the extensions were already in at that time, his father is paying the location and verification charge for locations that were already established. He felt that these charges should not have been incurred. He noted that the feasibility report indirect costs were $16,500 and the assessment report cost was $33,124 which is approximately 107% over the. current feasibility report. He further noted that the reason the feasibility report was done in 1996 was E ..provide rrpre accuracy. He compared the feasibility reports from 1992 and 1996 and pointed out the nuria' or of siri? 6ities. He felt the assessment in the 1996 feasibility report should be closer to the assessmihf in the f92 feasibility report. He said they signed the waivers in good faith that the estimate would be:>rfedible aid: done with integrity. City Administrator Hedges stated:giii:)Ai:: EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; NOVEMBER 19, 1998 PAGE 8 noted that when the Council had previously: addressed the issue regarding the homes on Dodd Road, the property owners had wanted to maintair!::the rural zoning, but the Council indicated they needed to have five acres. She further noted that those:property owners who did not have five acres were not entitled to the rural designation and they were nc►t : licfawd:: i5: t jilt 1he septic systems there. She said this proposal is for three houses on five acres:::Cc lltriei if 04%*ibter stated the difference between the two proposals is that sewer was available tQ•:te property owners along Dodd Road and the Council did not make anyone connect to that, but rather.ihi stipulation was that they could not put in a new septic system if the old one failed. He further stated'"that sewer and water is not available on this site. He asked Councilmember Wachter what happened when the sewer services were automatically extended in the past. Councilmember Wachter stated that sewer services were extended only when it was economical to do so. He said the amount to bring in sewer and water to this property seems to be extraordinarily high for only one parcel of property. Councilmember..: t!unter noted approving this request would not be going against past practice. Councilmember Wachter asked Why there ceded to be two sites for the sewer. Ridley stated there needed to be two separate drainfields ti6r'par ceI.',- . uncilmember Wachter asked if they would need to have two septic tanks. Ridley said thHe pointed out another difference between the Dodd Road sites and this sitilii: tfi;fit--tfiit:-Pf- l'pi'siy 1s already zoned R-1 and along Dodd the property was zoned Agricultural, which has the five acre minimum lot size requirement. Councilmember Masin said it seemed to her that she had voted against allowing the property owners to maintain the rural zoning because the Council was told they needed five acres to maintain the septic tanks. Councilmember Hunter noted that past practice is if sewer is available, the property owner must hook up at that time if they have under five acres. He further added that this would 0e:•r*c}.Ared on this site if sewer was available. Mayor Egan stated that this is one.afixtlQs #9rK-'tOas in Eagan that is not accessible to sewer and water and it would not be practical to not-.virtne`properly-to develop to some reasonably economical use. Councilmember Wachter added it would have:to..be agreed upon that if sewer and water ever becomes available to this site, and they have a probiairi;ii;#i'r,ting septic tank or drainfield, they would have to connect to City water and/or sewer. Councilmember Awada moved, Councilmember Hunter seconded a motion to approve a Variance from Section 11.21 Shoreland Zoning to allow lots less than 10 acres in area and 200 feet in width within the shoreland zone of Holland Lake. Mayor Egan stated the reason the G# -Q is.ppproving the Variance is because this portion of the City Code was adopted from an::!9APi:QpriaW: :ordinance and does not apply to a more urbanized area like Eagan.

He further added that itiis plan, with the density transfer, works well with the topography and will not encroach into any of the five wetlands on the site. He mentioned that the ponding has been worked out to deal with the water quality on the site. He said the phasing of the project would be from the south to the north. He stated that the School District will be a benefactor of this proposal because they will get the access point they want and "will also have the ability to sell the lot they had purchased for the potential need of connecting to Casto Glen. :44.e discussed the densities of each of the three areas of the site. He said the total densities co, iiibined are:4.28 units per acre. He said there is always concern that a multi -family project will tum inta':*: rental friCde.

He said he was selected by a certain group to represent them. He. patipd: f#ie r�rious neighborhoods that got together and met. He added that this is not an attack a8aimst':0i;alie:# oiaies, but rather the residents want to protect the residential neighborhoods of Eagan. We:#Ui$Iher'added :that according to the 1995 Census, the City of Eagan has about 22,000 housing units end.ap roximat4.:54% of the units are single family dwellings and the remaining 46% are multi -family unit dw+elfciig He::Atated the City has provided a lot of multi -family housing. He discussed the increase in traffic this prW: Wduld generate. He said this site is beautiful and the Council should give serious consideration to the futuet'fi Eagan and what should be done with the remaining 20% of the land. He added they are proposing to remove 400 of the 1,000 trees on the site. He further added the City Planners identified the potential problems associated with drainage in their reports to the City Council. He referenced the City survey conducted by the Wallace Group which confirmed that one of the biggest concerns of the citizens of Eagan is the growing number of townhouses and apartments. He said this neighborhood.awociation is not.opposed to reasonable development of this site. He further said he has heard the .sni:, urrslJi'e 'j€::ey can legally oppose this proposal. He referenced the City Code and identified.$4verallega�:xeasons why'the Council could deny the proposal. He added that the 20 -year old Comprelaer"sul ive G' Plan should be revised because it is outdated and not indicative of where the City is goingt:.:He again; referenced the City survey and stated that what was least favorable for the development of # ? emainino: 0% of the land was townhouses and apartments. Doug McFarland, 1474 Rocky lfie;' eadre*d tfie Council and asked what the status is of the proposed addition for the northern part of the site and when does it get included in the density mix. He also asked about the effect of the increased traffic that would occur on Deerwood Road. He stated he would like to hear from staff about water, parks and transportation issues. He added the neighbors are not opposed to development of the site but rat-ber Ahe:;density being proposed. He noted that the City Councilmembers are elected and that they;;11>aij:►:fWt M t -the constituents want them to. Ann Pahos, 2835 Burnside Aveft*i�''addressed theouncil and stated she supports the Pulte development because they are proposing:.homes that are ot.e-level, handicap accessible and located in Eagan where they want to live. EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; NOVEMBER 19, 1996 PAGE 11 Ryan Johnson, 4123 Cashell Glen, addressed the Council and said that he and some of his neighbors presented a petition to the ��P!C. He noted they had signatures of 113 neighbors and the unanimous vote was that the Cashell Gien'cul-de-sac should not be extended into the new development. He noted that the APC recommended th�ul%de.ttci:�extended. He urged the Council to accept the APC's recommendation. Paul Schmidt, 1422 Kings W -* toad, addressed the Council and stated that he is against the Pulte development mainly because of ttie'kgh density and also because of the increased traffic, the impact on natural resources and increased class sizes in the school. He noted that ten neighborhoods have banded together regarding this issue requesting the Council reconsider the density of this proposal. He asked why there was such an urgency to develop this property since there does not seem to be any lack of construction in the City. Dean Wold, 4041 Deerwood Tr'A;;:addresi;ibd the Council and asked what the impact would be on the schools by grade. He stated nothin�:&s beenK.Otesented regarding the demographics of this proposal.

He added that this is a choice piece of property and will not go undeveloped for very long. He further added there could be a proposal for commercial development if this development is not approved. He said he thinks it is inconsiderate and unfair to current and future residents of Eagan to deny them an opportunity to have a decent place to live. Rob Edinger, 1622 Murphy Parkway, addressed. the:Council and discussed the zoning of the property and also the difference between D-1 and Q-1;S:;2cirtit#g. Rick Mower, 4148 Cashell Gleri;:2rddFes$ed thetbuncil and asked if it would be possible for Pulte to eliminate the high density housing. Ffe.notecj.that 8-12 unit buildings are not needed and would not be aesthetically pleasing. Pam Wold, 4167 Starbridge Court, addressed flies:: EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; NOVEMBER 19, 1996 PAGE 12 He added that he feels this land is Comprehensive Guide Planned appropriately and he said he thinks a lower -density Planned Development coi.&66 developed profitably. He stated that landowners have rights that need to be considered. He further'slaied that landowners need to have a viable use and he thinks they do have a viable use, which is lowei'�s#et4J.t �diafliiai He said they are requesting a Planned Development, which is an agreement be lliwecfi #Fie: i�W:ar##:the developer and is different from straight zoning. He noted that in straight zonin$;:.ff the developer meets all the terms and conditions of the City Code, they can build what they propose;:: He said in this case, since they are requesting a Planned Development, they are asking for deviat" from the Code, such as smaller lot sizes. He added that many reasons have been stated to deny this request and some are applicable, but most of them are not. He addressed the school issue which is not applicable, since the bond referendum that was approved projects a growth for the City population and if this development were composed of all single family homes, there may actually be more children going to school than what is being proposed. He said the Tree Preservation Ordinance is one of the toughest in the. tropolitMarea and that any development will take some trees to use the land properly. He added that: suppoft denying this proposal reluctantly because he knows that this developer, or another one, c40 requeif.i straight rezoning and may, in fact, have a higher density use than this one. He further added if a developer would request a straight zoning, the Council would be hard-pressed to come up witk:.: 5*M ki 160.). :dt%ihdable reasons to deny the request. He stated that the Council has the reasons•'fd'=deny—:if#is mqueaf because they are asking for a Planned Development. Councilmember Masin said she thought that when the junior high was built, promises were made to the residents of the development next to Deerwood School that traffic would be mitigated when the new development was developed. She stated that if Cashell. W.""is kept as a cul-de-sac there will be little change in the transportation pattern on Deerwood..... Ciire i r:i t Public Works Colbert noted that there will be a change in the transportation pattem:cit::i3twaod;:�nrhether or not the Cashell Glen connection is provided.

Councilmember Masin added that she .want0d-.t9 kee)7 the promise that was originally made to the neighborhood next to Deerwood. Colber�t'tNd::..'*t nAie .:the middle school was built, the school was required to purchase the lot to make the con nectiori16:Ct0t ell: Glen. He further said the lot is being held in reserve for that purpose, but because it is not the best iise::of the lot and because of the topography, the connection is being resisted. He added that with this development it is felt that the connection should be made to Johnny Cake Ridge Road. Councilmember Masin asked if the school would still need to maintain the property if the connection is not made to Cashell Glen. Colbert stated that if the connection is not made through Cashell Glen, the school will need to decide if they want to reserve part of the parcel for a sidewalk or trailway connection. Councilmember Awada state=---"-"iopmenf`!i:' *was.irt ieement with Councilmember Hunter on this issue. She said that the intent of a Planned to make a development better than what the zoning could be. She further said that this Planned Development has been used and proposed to make the development less than what it could W': ... She .fr htioned that staff has calculated the density in the southwest comer of the development to: :i;lippf 4*Je ? :�flits per acre. She noted the land is guided to be 0-6 units per acre. She said that much of the City''s'1aftU that is designated as 0-6 units per acre has recently been developed at about 2 1/2 units per acre. She also said that this proposal consists of approximately 15% of single family homes. She said about half of that percentage is substandard because the lot sizes are under the minimums for street frontage. She further said this land is better suited for single family homes. She stated that she dogs:.r4t;stsppprt the proposal because of tree loss, drainage, rolling hills and the surrounding developm r :; ... at the density should be on the lower end of 0-6 units per acre and should be straight..#01hg instead*6f-*.Planned Development so that the majority of the land is not developed as multi-fam4:g6using. She meiitidned the Livable Communities Act and said there is 46% of multi -family housing ir4.:#e City, most of which was developed in the mid 1980's. She further mentioned that, according to t*.:Met Council and ft ivable communities figures, the City needs EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; NOVEMBER 19, 1996 PAGE 13 to encourage more single family development and they are willing to pay the City to do more of that. She added that the landowner has rights to da:y''hat they want with their land but only within certain parameters. Councilmember Wachter asked : qt tl 1.*-Vetls Iad:,Fitsxlication that was being proposed. Senior Planner Ridley clarified the land Pulte waS:p�FopitissMg::f:land dedication. Councilmember Wachter asked if any of the proposed park land:.is usable for ballfields or playgrounds. Director of Parks and Recreation Vraa stated that the plan is reed somewhat from the plan that the APRNRC reviewed earlier this fall. He noted that the green space' amounted to approximately 16 acres, which exceeds the park dedication requirement by 4 acres. He said the slopes make it difficult to develop. Councilmember Wachter noted some advantages for making the road connection to Cashell Glen. He discussed the drainage of water ay.4 the importance of storing more water in the ponds in the development. He stated that the City c; itJid use qw.e developments consisting of executive homes. He said the environmental damage to this 5-,:1:'-" a is very4bvere and too many trees will be removed. He also said the density proposed is too high.:::le addeidhat this is a special area of Eagan and should be handled with care. Mayor Egan noted that Counciltri'erriber l tier iiit#-;w-excellent job of laying the issues out. He said he does not agree with all the arguments that have been raised. He stated that Mr. Cottrell had outlined a number of statements in his letter that he had also intended to make, including comments that the application for the subdivision has to comply with the City Code, the Comprehensive Guide Plan, Minnesota state law and the requirements of the Metropolitan Council. He further stated that the Comprehensive Guide Plan was adopted by the City in tho.Wi� 1970's and early 1980's in response to a requirement by the Minnesota Land Use Planning. Ar..-&-'. rfoiid that several revisions have been made to the plan. He said that the D-11 zoning::.40-i'S tiog. allows for a fair amount of discretion by the developer and the City. He further said;:Ratti&& need6 fo be some reasonable figure in between the 0-6 units per acre designation. He added that-he::has looked at the development that has already occurred around this proposed development. that there has been a general trend and encouragement to downzone property in the City.'fie:fiitdieted that the City is below where they feel they should be in terms of single family detached resider' 690:- i. sing. He noted that if the City continues the way the trends are currently going, the City will be going in the wrong direction. He said the density is not appropriate on this parcel of land. He discussed the historical facts surrounding this land. He also said the City has narrow constrictions on what it can do with respect to land. He mentioned that this landowner was turned down at Carriage Hills and was told to find another parcel of land. He noted that the developer was not told by anyone to leave;.that 120 acre .site and find another 120 acre site in Eagan and come up with another townhouse mix;::#�jie:itti�Er.ticei:tttt the Council cannot be arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable in the denial of rights tU:iar y pro :owners.

City Attorney Sheldon said:.Umt there are a nu rTj eF of alternatives the Council could consider. EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; NOVEMBER 19, 1996 PAGE 14 He further said that there is not another.: City Council meeting before the 60 -day agency action timeline expires under the statute to make ruf" on this application. He said at the direction of the City Administrator he prepared a draft of both"i0proval and denial findings. He further said the Council may want to review the findings.

Sheldon said that Mr. Cottrell's letter should be included, by reference, to the findings (Exhibit C). He further said that additional findings should include the specific figures of 54% single family and 46% multi -family housing that currently exists in the City. He noted that just about everything that was covered at the meeting tonight is include¢.in the draft findings. Councilmembers concurred that the findings looked acceptable.

We are not opposed to reasonable development on this property, in accordance with the Comprehensive Planning Guide, which meets the rules and regulations of the city of Eagan, the county of Dakota, and the State of Minnesota. However, for many reasons, we do not believe that the project proposed by Pulte Homes is acceptable to the city,:z s*:*::*nf..:E.agsr . Some of the reasons for our opposition are as focws "'' 1.

GENERAL DISCUSSION REODING SEPTEMBER 10 PARK BOND REFERENDUM Mayor Egan welcomed riembers dt:::the Advisory Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission and those residents who senred:git the BoM-.*Referendum Task Force for the purpose of discussing the September 10 park bond referendum. HA . fyrfher . [ecognized those present, including Michael Vincent, John Rudolph, Stephen Thompson, Jerry Thomav;: i vi l ti;:R�iitlo(I;A. rn, Lynn Lewis, Lee Markell, Daryle Peterson and George Kubik. City Administrator Hedges b19*1, i:*ft-t:-erp tlicis ae of the meeting was for the City Council to have a general discussion as to why the September 10 park bond referendum was not successful and how the community can improve upon the process in its evaluation for future capital park improvement programs that might involve a need to consider a referendum. City Councilmember Hunter stated that he was, in;icontact with a large number of residents this past fall while campaigning for public office and concluded that.th".js no common thread as to why the park bond referendum failed. He stated that there were ,.�.; :+i ri :: 6(::i bsons expressed by the community. City Councilmember Masin stated that manyresidecita:W?ji:apprGched her were in support of the referendum; however, in those cases where people acknowledgeck: :iso -vote, they'. Weren't sure how the City was intending to use the money. She further stated that it may be helpfut.Whold a comilliunity meeting and ask for input. Mayor Egan stated that he was in agreement with City Councilmem6iir <iiikthaZ.there has not been a common reason for the denial. APRNRC Commission Member Rudolph sfated::lkt i people have shared with him a concern that they were unclear how the referendum proceeds would be used. He further stated that there was confusion about Caponi and apathy about any bond referendums given all the recent school bond referendums that have increased property taxes. Commission Member Thomas stated that in retrospect, the parcels that were to be acquired with referendum proceeds should have been specifically identified which in his opinion was a reason for denial and further stated that people have shared with him their concern about more taxes, the confusion around the Caponi issue, lights for parks and overall, an expression.0f.q:9eneral no.tp..the City. City Councilmember Hunter stated that he did not recall including lights as a part of tli: referttdut�S: iAFFiI�iC Commission Member Szott stated that there were a number of proposals, including ligt6*';:�ihich weCd::Dhginally proposed for the bond referendum, however, dropped before the recommendations were-Wesented i�':Oie City Council. City Councilmember Hunter expressed frustration that a great effort was made to present information through the newsletter and newspapers preceding the bond referendum and yet, people have ::GQrXimented:: ftt they were uninformed and not aware of the facts surrounding the referendum. Commission:ei`:Atisteiezt, tt3at the negative literature distributed prior to the referendum was damaging, using words sactt::teeliiess:iit'i(I;;}j, etc. He felt the organized "no" effort was misunderstood by the voter and greatly contributed to the unsuccessful referendum. APRNRC Member Szott again commented, stating that the purpose of the referendum should have been more specific and presenting a referendum during a national campaign when there are many issues at the state and federal level competed with the merits of the referendum. APRNRC Member ThompsoR.siaffk surprised there was no strong support on the City Council for the referendum, further commentiri . bat 'oneCoi0 ira Mt.(nber came out in opposition. APRNRC Member Vincent stated that there was so much delibiej;aiion during the S6ikr6er months regarding a date and amount for the referendum that time was limited to present reasons for the referendum to the community. City Councilmember Wachter stated that there is still concern it t" ughout the commuift. about proceeding ahead with the civic arena without a bond referendum. He further gt* ri.thst.he;wtote.:a•.4r to the editor to clarify City Councilmember Awada's request which suggested that the:i>jliiaFafi#O.:po fa portion of the Caponi property prior to the September 10 bond referendum. Page 2/Eagan Special City Council Meeting Minutes November 19, 1996 Commission Member Ahem -felt the date of the referendum was wrong, that being the primary. Mayor Egan stated that the referendum qu#t!bn would have been lost on the long ballot at the general election which was one of the reasons the ballot was'i icluded in the primary election in September. City Councilmember Awada clarified , stating the issue was a stanelorbe.:e4?�R, wo:.at some time different than the primary or the general elections. Commission Member AFtrrs:feita`aaso{irh:>i the people were left out by holding the bond referendum during the primary election. IVayo'r''I~gan 'stand:Miii °tfie statistical data analyzing the September 10 election indicates that many people voted OV -'hr the referendum. City Councilmember Wachter raised a question as to whether it would have actually been 6*"r to have held the election on an off-year rather than an even -year. Commission Member Thomas stated that the cask force tried very hard to present a need for the additional parks based on the fact there is limited land left for the community to include as parkland. He further stated that maybe the case was not presented well enough as to how the existing partes are currently developed and what impact the additional land would have on those parks. APRNRC Member Vincerii lffated that..F1B appreciates the ability to reflect on the referendum and suggested that the discussion include oppcttt ities for.:jtt future, such as a pool that was given strong support in the recent Wallace survey. City CouncilmeChbar MasiA:stated that it is her opinion that people want a water park facility for the community. Mayor Egan statk* * . at he id: ... agreement with Councilmember Masin. The challenge is how do we accomplish that objective with respect.lo other capital needs. City Councilmember Wachter stated that he would like to see the pool designed and Esillt:pri tla:lriterttihiJfilgpal site with a two-story parking lot on location. He further stated that the Council needs to''unife'aiii}'prt+ii;ee�' wife a Gear direction on these capital needs. City Councilmember Wachter further stated that our staff cannot chase a variety of issues without a united position by the Council. APRNRC Member Vincent asked if the City Council will continue to give consideration to central park sites that could include a number of community events, such e;; fireworks. City Councilmember Awada raised a question as to whether the City could support a park that.iS::tjed only for fireworks and other special events. APRNRC Member Kubik stated that in his opinion the: boed:iendum regarding the open space was considered a soft issue. He further stated that any further:drilc#:tfereitiauizrs need to include a message with reference to the cause and effect of a bond referendum. APRNRC Member i'hbmpson stated that it is time to move on and agreed with City Councilmember Wachter that the City.tteeds.to.focus'vn a use like the aquatic facility and present the value of the project to civic organizations, churches *ii ::6 r::i ommiAnity groups. APRNRC Member Markell stated that the community survey listed the need for open space as tki6:Mir.one objective for enhancement of City parks. He further stated that there should possibly be a further sunrey'tif tine community. APRNRC Member Kubik stated that a survey response is not always definitive, reflecting the attitude of the person surveyed at the moment. Commission Member Lewis stated that she would like the City Councilmember to at least reconsider a future bond referendum for open space. City Councilmember Hunter stated that he is convinced the City did not do anything wrong. This type of referendum is considered discretionary by many people and at this time, they were not willing to spend the additional money for park enhancements. In any event, the City needs to move on and evaluate other capital needs. City Councilmember Masin state¢:thtt..she ha$, r}ppreciated the discussion, finding the comments of value so the City does not repeat any mistal;:r::t#te apppdiion and presentation of future referendums. APRNRC Member Vincent agreed with Cttji*NC ncilni*j4WIVlasin, stating that something must have gone wrong when the Wallace survey ranked the de&::to acquki::rnore open space as the highest park objective of the community and support was received by the% APRNRC and by the City Council to hold the referendum. APRNRC Member Szott stated that it could be that p�tpfe see o:racks of land, such as the Bieter parcel, and feel there is more open space than actually exists in tli s gr7cltjcj .i ?::Qlw.pcilmember Awada stated that she feels there were some problems with how the City COlsncll: taiicrdirlstec:>i::i;liicess and approached the recent referendum, which hopefully can be eliminated in the future. Mayor Egan stated that the goal to purchase open space was never an issue; the objective to accomplish the goals was not fulfilled. He thanked everyone for the many months of hard work and officially acknowledged that the Bond Referendum Task Foroa tray Wpipleted its tasks as directed by the City Council. Ui�N;1F:...

ATTACHMENTS: Findings of fact, conclusions, resolution and attachments on pages t� through l 3 W BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF EAGAN, DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA In Re: Application of Pulte Homes of Minnesota for a Preliminary Planned Development and a Preliminary Subdivision for Rolling Oaks Subdivision FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS AND RESOLUTION On September 24 and October 22, 1996, following publication of notice to the public, the Advisory Planning Commission of the City of Eagan conducted public hearings to consider the application of Pulte Homes of Minnesota for a change in zoning to preliminary planned development and a request for a preliminary subdivision for Rolling Oaks Subdivision. The applicant's representative appeared at the public hearings and spoke in favor of the request. During the public hearings, the Advisory Planning Commission received and considered staff and citizen input, planning reports and other background information. Following the public hearings, the Advisory Planning Commission voted 3 to 2 to recommend approval of the petitioner's requests. The matter then came before the Eagan City Council at its November 19, 1996 meeting. The Council received, considered and discussed the October 22, 1996 Advisory Planning Commission recommendation, input from staff, residents and planning reports, together with all files, records and prior proceedings and the input of the applicant's representative and citizens at the November 19, 1996 Council meeting. Based upon all the files, records, prior proceedings and input which was presented at the meetings, the Council makes the following Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Resolution: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. This matter is properly before the Eagan City Council. 2. The proposed preliminary planned development and preliminary subdivision consists of approximately 116 acres of land and the development of 490 dwelling units on the property shown attached as Exhibit A. 3. The applicant's proposal is for a mixed development of 412 clustered multi family homes and 78 single-family homes as shown on Exhibit B. 4. The property is currently designated as D -II (0-6 units per acre) under the land use plan of the City's comprehensive guide. 5. The property is currently zoned A (agricultural) and RB (roadside business). 6. Issues have been raised throughout the process and there remain legitimate but unanswered concerns regarding: a. Increased traffic congestion on Deerwood and Diffley Roads, caused by the multi family residents of the development. b. Environmental issues including adequate storm water drainage, degradation of Blackhawk Lake (a Class 1 lake under the City's water quality plan) and storm water ponding. C. Clustering of multi -family homes which concentrate too many people and too many structures into the southwestern portion of the site. 2 J d. Multifamily structures which are signifearitly larger then adjacent housing, such that tha structass are out of character to the surrounding e. An ovearebundar= of multi -family housing in this area and in the City as a whole. The City already wmeeft the Livable Communities Act standards for multi fsrrily housing. A recent canvnunity survey conducted by the City Council indicates no desire or need for additional multi -family housing in the City, at this time. f. This area of the City may be appropriate for singf s -family housing by reason of its topography, school location and potential traffic patterns. g. The mandatory environmental assessment worksheet is not complete. h. Neighborhood residents have expressed their opinion that construction of the 412 multi -family homes and the clustering of those homes will have a negative imped or) their residential property values. i. The subject property, as currently zoned and guided, provides a viable economic use of the property. j. Additional f1ndIN3 Include: Of ti-* City's current Musing, 54% is single-family and 46% Is multi family. k William CottrelCs letter of November 19, 1Is attached and Incorporated herein. s ONUwZiuns 1. This matter is properly before the Eagan City Council. 2. The effects of this development will not be harmonious with the adjacent residential neighborhoods and, as a result, the applicant's proposal will: a. Tend to lower the property values of adjacent residential neighborhoods. b. Change the existing character of the adjacent residential neighborhoods by reason of the mass of the structure of the multi family homes. C. Have the potential to: (1) increase traffic congestion on Diffley Road and Deerwood Drive beyond reasonable standards; and (2) possibly increase problems with storm water drainage, Blackhawk Lake degradation and storm water ponding. 3. The area may be appropriate for single-family housing by reason of its topography and school location. 4. The land retains a viable residential use. 5. By the greater weight of the record and information presented, it is hereby determined by the City Council of the City of Eagan that approval of the preliminary planned development and the preliminary subdivision is not warranted. 6. Additional conclusions include: RESOLUTION The City Council of the City of Eagan does hereby resolve that the applicant's request for a preliminary planned development and a preliminary subdivision to allow mixed residential development of 72 single-family homes and 412 clustered multi family homes is hereby denied.

FACTS: Some projects undertaken by the City of Eagan in the future are likely to cause unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional wetlands. As project sponsor, the City of Eagan will be responsible for mitigating these impacts in a manner consistent with the Wetland Conservation Act. Wetland banking can provide a cost-effective, procedurally efficient means of mitigating these impacts. It involves creation or restoration of a viable wetland in advance of causing impacts. The "credits" generated can then be "withdrawn" as unavoidable impacts are incurred until the credits are used up. City water resources staff have conducted an evaluation of wetland banking opportunities within the corporate boundaries of the City of Eagan. Almost 130 parcels were evaluated. Based on the results of this study, there is very limited potential to find an area within the city that is both environmentally suitable and financially reasonable for use as a wetland bank within the city limits. A wetland banking opportunity has emerged in rural Dakota County that offers the possibility of generating a low-cost, technically feasible source of banking credits for the City of Eagan. The Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission reviewed the proposal at its November 18, 1996 meeting and voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council that staff be given authorization to proceed with further investigation of this opportunity. BACKGROUND A copy of a memo to the APRNRC describing in more detail the background on this issue, wetland banking opportunities in Eagan, and the wetland banking opportunity in Eureka Township is attached. , 2 TO: ADVISORY PARKS, RECREATION, AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION FROM: RICH BRASCH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION RE: STATUS OF WETLAND BANKING PROJECT INVESTIGATIONS DATE: NOVEMBER 11, 1996 For some time, staff have been searching for cost-effective, environmentally sound methods of wetland mitigation that might be required in the future as a result of unavoidable wetland impacts caused by City -sponsored projects, such as development of parks, construction of city streets, etc. Staff have completed an investigation of opportunities to restore or create wetlands within the city limits as a means of meeting wetland mitigation options through wetland "banking" and wanted to share this information with the Commission. In addition, staff has found what it believes is a viable wetland banking opportunity outside the City of Eagan that merits additional investigation and is requesting that the Commission support authorization by the City Council to investigate this opportunity in more detail. Wetland banking involves the creation or restoration of a viable wetland in advance of causing impacts which require mitigation in the form of replacement wetland. The "credits" generated by the "banked" wetland can then be "withdrawn" as unavoidable impacts are incurred until the credits are used up. The Wetlands Conservation Act (WCA) requires that impacts in the Metro area be mitigated on a 2:1 basis, so we need twice as many credits in the bank as the area of wetlands we expect to impact. One big advantage of wetland banking is that there is the potential to generate significant economies of scale. The unit costs of constructing small replacement wetlands are generally much higher than the unit costs of constructing large wetlands. In addition, banking is a much more efficient way to meet the processing requirements for wetland impacts. Thus, there are financial as well as procedural advantages to developing a wetland bank. reff,15=111 0=1 11771 R In 1995, city water resources staff worked with a wetlands consulting firm and Dakota County to conduct a search for potential wetland creation/restoration sites that could be used for a bank. The first phase of the search focused on lands owned by the City of Eagan in an effort to reduce the land acquisition component of total cost. In addition, the search focused on parcels that would allow creation of 2 or more acres of wetland. In all, 100 parcels were evaluated. The results of the office survey indicated that 91 parcels were rated as having poor potential for wetland creation, 7 parcels as fair, 1 parcel as good, and 1 parcel as very good. Further investigation, including field visits, revealed difficulties in developing any of the sites. A a� number of factors contribute to the lack of good opportunities for wetland creation/restoration in Eagan. The steep topography adjacent to many wetland basins makes it very difficult and expensive to expand those basins to create additional wetland area. In addition, upland areas adjacent to these basins are often heavily wooded. Finally, areas of hydric soils that have already been filled or drained - generally the easiest areas to restore the conditions necessary to re- establish a wetland - often have permanent structures on them such as buildings, roads, utilities, etc. that can't be re -located cheaply. The best site on City -owned land for wetland creationtrestoration appears be a parcel located just south of Westcott Road in Wandering Walk park. A hydric soil unit about 3 acres in area has been covered with fill. The depth of fill has been estimated at 4 feet. Because the fill would have to be removed to expose the hydric soil unit, excavation would be needed. At $2/cubic yard, excavation costs alone would be almost $13,000 per acre. In addition, a significant amount of storm sewer and detention basin work would be necessary to generate water in sufficient quantity and of sufficient quality to generate the hydrology necessary to sustain the wetland. While the project has some merit, it is of marginal enough financial feasibility to warrant a look at other options. In 1996, City staff initiated an effort to look at private parcels for wetland banking potential. Twenty-eight sites were evaluated. After office evaluation and field review, only two sites were ranked as having good potential. While both sites had some technical merit for establishing a wetland, land acquisition costs alone were estimated at about $45,000/acre for one parcel and $30,000/ acre for the other. Banking credit information released from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources in December 1995 indicated that banked credits were selling for $500-$15,000/acre. In addition, information flour the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District indicates that the Dakota County Highway Department considers $10,000/acre to be a reasonable value to pay for creating or purchasing wetland banking credits. These figures provide a useful yardstick against which to measure how reasonable the prospective costs of creating "bankable"' wetlands in Eagan are. These cost comparisons and other information presented in the project reports indicate there is very limited potential to find an area that is both environmentally suitable and financially reasonable for use as a wetland bank within the Eagan city limits. Staff have indicated informally to the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District that we would be interested in knowing about potential wetland banking opportunities that arise in areas of Dakota County outside the City of Eagan. One such possibility has emerged in an agricultural area of Eureka Township approximately 5 miles south of Lakeville, where restoration of a drained wetland currently under cultivation could generate 20-35 acres of bankable wetland and upland buffer area. This opportunity is noteworthy for several reasons. First, the project would involve restoration of a large historical wetland that is currently drained by a file line. These types of projects are as both cheaper than creating a wetland "from scratch" in an upland area and have a high probability of success. The SWCD's wetland specialist has very roughly estimated the cost at $7,000 - $9,000/acre, although there are a number of variables that could affect this unit cost. In addition, the landowner is very cooperative because he sees establishment and permanent protection of the wetland as compatible with his long-term development plans for the area which involve construction of single family residences on large (5-10 acre) lots. Finally, a number of other parties (including the Dakota County Highway Department and the Board of Water and Soil Resources) are interested in this project as well. These entities are experienced in wetland banking projects, and would provide partnership opportunities for splitting the costs (and benefits) of establishing the wetland bank. Staff requests d ai the Commission forward a recommendation to the City Council authorizing staff to proceed with further investigation of the wetland banking opportunity in Eureka township, including an evaluation of the technical feasibility of the project and an identification of the City's share of the cost of purchasing banking credits.

CEDARVALE SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT - 1997 BUDGET ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: IN. To approve or deny the 1997 proposed Cedarvale Special Service District budget. FACTS: ► The proposed budget for 1997 is $11,792.30. This budget contains no change and no increase from 1996. The budget includes the second year payment of the pylon sign (6,792.30), sign maintenance (2,000), and continued mowing and maintenance (3,000) ► Current 1996 expenditures are within budget and those final figures will be available in January 1997. ► Based on changes in the overall calculation of all properties included in the district, individual tax bills may fluctuate from the 1996 bill. ► A neighborhood meeting was held on September 10, 1996 to discuss the proposed 1997 budget and 1997 work plan. Approximately 15 members of the district were in attendance. At that meeting the Cedarvale Task Force presented its proposed 1997 budget. No increase or change was proposed for the second year of the three year sign payoff. The Task Force felt it was appropriate to begin planning for any new initiatives now for year three and beyond.

Shannon Tyree, Planner DATE: November 22, 1996 MEMO SUBJECT: Public Hearing Notice: Proposed 1997 Cedarvale Special Service District Budget. The public hearing for the Cedarvale Special Service District Budget is scheduled for: Date: December 4, 1996 City Council Meeting Time: 7:00 pm Location: City of Eagan City Council Chambers In August and September notices for a neighborhood meeting were sent and the meeting was held on September 10, 1996. At that meeting the 1997 proposed budget was discussed and the Special Service District Task Force recommended no change in the budget. The Task Force felt that because the cost of the pylon sign was spread over three years (beginning in 1996) that 1997 should not be changed or increased in any way. The budget sent to the Council for its approval contains no change and no increases from last years budget. The Special Service District is within budget for 1996 and those final figures will be available in January 1997. It should be noted, based on changes in the overall valuation of all properties in the district individual tax bills may fluctuate from the 1996 bill. The attached sheet indicates projected 1997 Special Service District tax rates. In 1997, the Task Force will be looking at potential ideas for the district.

Agenda Information Memo December 4, 1996 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve or deny a clarification of architectural materials for Precision Tune to add a red neon stripe to the exterior of the building for property located at the southwest corner of Pilot Knob Road and I -35E. FACTS: ► Precision Tune is part of a two building Planned Development includes the Phillips 66 station. A Final Planned Development was approved for Precision Tune in July of this year. ► The Precision Tune building elevation plans showed a prefinished metal red "energy strip" on the building exterior. The plans did not indicate that the stripe would include neon which would be illuminated at night. No, Adding neon to the Precision Tune building adds a new architectural element which is not consistent throughout the Planned Development. ► At their regular meeting on November 26, 1996, the APC discussed this clarification and recommended approval. BACKGROUND/ATTACHMENTS: APC minutes of November 26, 1996, to be forwarded with additional information on Monday. Staff memo, letter from architect and building elevations, pages rSQ through - ..i —city of eagan TO: Chair Mark Miller Advisory Planning Commission Members FROM: Pamela Dudziak, Associate Planner DATE: November 21, 1996 SUBJECT: Clarification of Architectural Materials Precision Tune MEMO In July of this year, Precision Tune received Final Planned Development approval to construct a six -bay Precision Tune Auto Center at the southwest corner of Pilot Knob Road and I -35E. Precision Tune is part of a two building Planned Development which includes the Phillips 66 station. The Precision Tune building elevation plans showed a prefinished metal red "energy stripe" on the building exterior. The plans did not indicate that the stripe would include neon which would be illuminated at night. The architect has indicated it was their intention that the red stripe would include neon, but the Final Planned Development plans did not specify that. Since the exterior materials of the Phillips 66 do not include neon, adding neon to the Precision Tune building adds a new architectural element which is not consistent throughout the Planned Development. Staff would like the APC to review and make a recommendation regarding the addition of neon to the building's red stripe. If the APC recommends approval of this clarification, it will be forwarded to the City Council for their action. To recommend approval or denial of the clarification of architectural materials for Precision Tune to add a red neon stripe to the exterior of the building. November 19, 1996 Attn: Pam Dudziak Planning Council City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 Re: Precision Tune 35E and Pilot Knob Road Due to some miscommunication between myself and the Owner, plans that were reviewed by the Planning Commission and the City Council were not clear and specific about our plans to install a single tube of neon on the exterior of this building, Plans stated "energy stripe" at the building's exterior but the words "neon" were not indicated although they were intended. This Is an oversight on our part, so we come back before you with better clarification and a specific request. We are requesting on behalf of Precision Tune the addition of one single tube of neon -15mm (1 //2") wide. The neon tube would be clear during the day (allowing the red metal band to show through It). When illuminated at night the neon would be red in color. The neon tube would be placed centered on the red metal band referred to as the "energy stripe" and would be continuous around the building following the energy stripe when it jogs off horizontally, as shown on the attached colored elevation. We consider this to be a minor element change to the architecture of the building; an enhancement to the building and in no way detrimental to the surrounding properties. We hope that upon your review you concur with our assessment and can make a positive recommendation to the City Council.

To approve or deny a Conditional Use Permit to allow outdoor storage of rental trucks. ► To approve or deny an amendment to the conditional use permit issued in 1994 to allow a) storage of vehicles to be located on the southeast portion of the lot, b) concrete storage bins to be located on the northeast portion of the lot, and c) an increase in the maximum number of vehicles stored outside from 20 to 30. ► To approve or deny an amendment to the conditional use permit issued in 1995 to allow a) auto repair service for vehicles having a payload rating of up to two tons, b) outdoor storage and display of new and used tires, and c) outside vehicle repair. FACTS: The property is zoned General Business, and is surrounded to the north, east and south by single-family residences, and industrial property to the west across Hwy. 13. In 1994, Johnson's Richfield Sod and Blacktop Company began operating on this property and they have provided building and site improvements since that time. A conditional use permit was issued in 1994 allowing the outside storage of trucks and landscaping materials on this property. In 1995, another conditional use permit was issued allowing an auto accessory sales and service facility. During a complaint investigation earlier this summer, city staff found that certain physical conditions of the property were not in compliance with several conditions of the 1994 and 1995 conditional use permits. The owners corrected many of the violations and applied for amendments and additional conditional use permits for the other items. The Site Plan dated 9/25/96 shows the site development as proposed in the amendments and new conditional use permits as requested by the applicant. ► The APC conducted public hearings on these proposed Conditional Use Permits at its regular meetings on October 22, 1996 and November 26, 1996, and recommends the following: Approval of the conditional use permit for a pylon sign subject to the conditions outlined in the October 22, 1996 APC minutes. 54 Approval of the conditional use permit to allow outdoor storage of rental trucks subject to the conditions outlined in the minutes of the November 26, 1996 APC meeting. Approval of the amendments to the conditional use permit issued in 1994 allowing the relocation of the storage bins and vehicle storage areas, and allowing the storage bins to remain of concrete material, but not allowing an increase in the number of vehicles, and limiting the number of storage bins to what was originally approved in 1994 (ten), subject to the conditions outlined in the minutes of the November 26, 1996 meeting. Approval of the amendment to the conditional use permit issued in 1995 allowing an increase in the size of vehicles allowed to be serviced from 3/4 ton to two tons, and outdoor storage and display of new and used tires, but not allowing outside vehicle repair, subject to the conditions outlined in the minutes of the November 26, 1996 meeting. ISSUES: The neighbors opposed to the application discussed previous conditional use permits pertaining to the property which would have required a landscape buffer to be installed on the east side of the property and that such a buffer would have helped alleviate the problems of noise and fumes. After lengthy discussion of the site layout, the APC determined that moving the storage bins to the location approved in 1994 would not eliminate the perceived problems for the objecting neighbors, and may result in additional impacts to other neighbors. In addition, the APC determined that the existing location of the bins and vehicle storage areas result in safer site circulation than the original layout approved in 1994. To mitigate the impact of noise and fumes to adjacent properties, the Johnson's agreed to the APC recommendation to provide additional landscaping and/or fencing for screening and buffering on the east side of the property and restrictions on the hours of operation. The APC directed the applicant to prepare a landscape plan for this purpose for staff and City Council review and approval.

These requests pertain to property legally described as Lot 5, Block 3, Letendre Second Addition located at 3206 Sibley Memorial Highway in the SWV4 of Section 9. Associate Planner Dudziak introduced this item. Ms. Dudziak highlighted the information presented in the City staffs planning report dated October 17, 1996. Ms. Dudziak noted the background and history, the existing conditions and the surrounding uses of the subject property. Ms. Dudziak further outlined the City staffs evaluation of the applicant's request for the various conditional use permits. Loren Gross, attorney for the applicant, Johnson Richfield Blacktop, stated that the applicant has no objection to the conditions recommended by City staff with the exception of Condition No. A-3. He requested that Condition A-3 be revised to allow the pylon sign height and dimension be that of the City Code requirements, specifically allowing it to be 125, not 80 square feet in area. Mr. Gross reasoned that the applicant submitted a sign elevation showing 80 square feet without knowing what the signs actual dimension will be. John Todd, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Ron Miller and Mr. and Mrs. Tim Green, both property owners within 300 feet of the site, stated that the Millers and Greens opposed the requested amendments to the 1994 conditional use permit and 1995 conditional use permit. Mr. Todd stated that the applicants have failed to comply with the 1994 and 1995 conditional use permits and thus there is no. reason to believe they will comply with any conditions of a new conditional use permit. Mr. Todd stated that the applicants put a industrial use on the property as opposed to a landscape business as proposed under the previous conditional use permits. Mr. Todd stated that the Millers and Greens do not object to a pylon sign provided it is not lit at night and have no objection to the U -haul truck rental business on the site. Mr. Todd further stated that his clients do not object to a landscape business on the site but object to the location of the storage bins where they currently are located and proposed under the conditional use permit amendments. Citing City Code Section 11. 10, Subd. 14(d), Mr. Todd stated that any loading areas within 300 feet of a residential use shall have no detrimental affect is not met with the applicant's proposal. He stated that the noise and dust from the loading of rocks with the heavy equipment on the site is sG Page 15 October 22, 1996 ADVISORY PLANNING COIvMSSION detrimental to his clients. Mr. Todd stated that his clients have stated that trucks have been running and loading rock as early as 6:00 a.m. and as late as 9:00 p.m. A resident of 3170 Sibley Memorial Highway stated that she lives directly next door to the applicant and shares a common driveway with them. She stated that when she purchased her house a year ago, Johnson was just going in at that time. She stated that although at first she had some reservations, it has turned out that the applicant has been an excellent neighbor. She stated that the applicant has installed screening and berming as they said they would and that she has never heard any noise or smelled any diesel fumes from the business. The resident noted that she does not understand how the Millers or Greens can determine that the smell of diesel fumes, if any, are coming from the Johnson property and not from Highway 13 traffic. She concluded that she has never heard or observed any operation on the site at 6:00 a.m. or as late as 9:00 p.m. A resident of 1679 Letendre stated that he is one of eleven neighbors who support the applicant's request, noting that before Johnson was on the site, the site was nothing but an unsightly dumping ground. He stated that the Johnsons have significantly improved the site. A resident of 1673 Letendre also stated he supported the applicant's request and asserted that the Millers and Greens have provided false accusations. The resident further read a letter from Peggy VanWinkle who also supports the applicant's request. Barb Miller, who is represented by attorney John Todd, stated that their bedrooms are approximately 100 feet from the concrete storage bins and they constantly have to hear the noise from the diesel dump trucks and the loaders while loading the large landscape rocks. Ms. Miller noted that the site is not heavily wooded and there is no landscape to screen that activity from her property. Ms. Miller further stated that as a registered nurse in an emergency room, she knows that diesel fumes do cause health problems. She further noted that all other property owners in support of the application cannot even see the Johnson property except the resident at 3170 Sibley Memorial Highway. She stated that she requests that the original 1994 permit be complied with. A resident of 3207 Sibley Memorial Highway stated that she supports the applicant's request and has experienced no problems with them. She stated that she is at home during the day and that while she can hear the trucks on the applicant's property, the noise is no greater than the traffic from Highway 13 or air traffic they experience. Tim Green, also represented by attorney John Todd, stated that in May the applicant did start work at 6:10 a.m. on a couple of occasions until he spoke with the Johnsons who then started at 7:00 a.m. Ron Miller, also represented by attorney John Todd, stated that their main concern is that of non-compliance with a new conditional use permit because the applicants have failed to comply with the previous conditional use Page 16 October 22, ] 996 ADVISORY PLANNING CONIlvIISSION permit. He stated that they are detrimentally affected by the noise, fumes and dust generated from the site to which they are closer than any other resident and most greatly affected. He stated that they would support the request if the storage bins were wood and located at the south end of the property and the applicant provide landscape screening. Chairman Miller closed the public hearing. Chairman Miller inquired with the applicant as to whether the concrete bins are movable. Mr. Gross advised the Commission that the concrete bins are movable but that they were placed in their current location because of the erosion caused by the cut of the slope on Millers' property and the City told the Johnsons they needed to fix the erosion problem. Mr. Gross stated that if the concrete bins are moved, substantial erosion control measures will need to be put in place on Johnson's property. Mr. Gross further noted that the applicants have no objection to a condition imposed requiring hours of operation from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. In response to Member Burdorfs inquiry, Mr. Gross stated that the applicant did not bring the property into compliance under the 1994 permit site plan because the site plan at that time was based on unknowns of the property. Mr. Gross stated that the applicants did not know of the erosion problems on the property and so the bins were placed in the northeast corner to address the erosion problem from Millers' property and to provide a safe traffic flow within the property. Member Segal inquired with the applicant as to whether the storage bins could be moved to the south as proposed in the original conditional use permit if the erosion problem was corrected. Mr. Johnson stated that if the storage bins were moved to the south end of the property, then he would be required to move the truck storage to the northeast adjacent to Millers' property and then the bins would be near the Greens' property. Mr. Johnson further noted that the majority of the landscape rock loads are to residential sites, not for commercial sales. He further noted that they no longer have the diesel truck of which the Millers and Greens complained about. In response to Member Heyl's inquiry, the applicants advised the Commission that their largest day ever consisted of nine rock loads, which require five to ten minutes per load. They advised that on an average they have two to three loads per day. The Johnsons also stated that the trucks used on the site consists of five to six blacktop trucks which are gone all day and on many days there is no business activity on the site. The Johnsons noted that they have even gone so far as to put special mufflers on their tractors to eliminate the noise. Ron Miller, the adjacent property owner, stated that with respect to the drainage or erosion problem from his property, he was told by Craig Knudsen of the City Engineering Department, that there was no erosion problem from his property. Page 17 October 22, 1996 ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION _ _ An employee of Johnson Richfield Blacktop stated that Ron Miller had come onto the Johnson's property and told him personally that he would run Johnson out of business if necessary. . Chairman Miller stated that the Commission's only issue is whether the use is appropriate and do the conditions appropriately address the City's concerns. In response to Member Heyl's inquiry, Design Development Engineer John Gorder advised that an erosion barrier blanket or silt screen would be an appropriate erosion control measure to correct any erosion from Millers' property. In response to Member Burdorf s question, Planner Dudziak stated that the applicant proposes 20 to 30 vehicles but staff is not certain if there is adequate space to store that number of vehicles. Ms. Dudziak added that the permit is conditioned on the applicant, specifically defining the parking area and the specific number of trucks. Member Segal moved, Member Miller seconded, a motion to recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a pylon sign, subject to the following amended conditions: 1. The Conditional Use Permit shall be recorded with Dakota County within 60 days of the date of approval and proof of its recording provided to the City. 2. If the conditional use has not been established within one year of the date on which the conditional use permit was granted, the permit.shall be null and void. 3. The pylon sign- shall not exceed 27 feet in height and 125 square feet in area. The pylon sign shall be located on the property and must be set back a minimum of ten feet from all property lines. 4. Building signage is permitted on the west building elevation only, and shall not exceed 20% of the area of that building wall. 5. All signage including banners, flags and other miscellaneous signs shall comply with City Sign Code requirements. All approved in favor. Member Segal suggested that the applicant work with the Millers and Greens to reach a compromise. Chairman Miller noted that it is obvious that the applicant and the Millers and Greens may be past the point of compromise. Member Frank concurred with Member Segal noting that the Commission is not shy to continue other matters in hope of resolving concerns of neighboring residents. The applicant stated that the Millers and G� Page 18 October 22, 1996 ADVISORY PLANNING CONMSSION Greens main concern was the noise from the loader and now that they no longer have the loader on the site, their concern is moot. The applicant stated they have no interest in continuing the matter. Member Heyl stated that in the past we have told conditional use permit holders that if they are not in compliance that they should come to the City and ask for changes to the permit to bring the site into compliance. She stated that the Commission's function is to examine if the 1996 proposal is appropriate and not determine whether the property was in compliance under the other permits. Member Burdorf stated that he is bothered that the applicant is not in the process of exploring changes to their previous plan and asking the City for permission, but instead have already made the changes. Member Segal moved, Member Burdorf seconded, a motion to deny the request of the Conditional Use Permit to allow amendments to the conditions of the conditional use permits issued in 1994 and 1995, on the grounds that it is not compatible with the adjacent residential property. All approved in favor, except Chairman Miller opposed. Member Segal moved, Member Frank seconded, a motion to recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow outside storage of rental vehicles. Member Heyl noted that it would be inconsistent for the Commission to recommend approval of the outdoor storage for the rental trucks with the Commission's vote on the amendment to the 1994 conditional use permit because the storage of the rental trucks would be along the south property line which would prohibit the placement of the storage bins in the same location. Member Segal moved, Member Heyl seconded, a motion to reconsider its vote on the amendment to the conditional use permit issued in 1994. All approved in favor. Member Segal moved, Member Heyl seconded, a motion to continue the applicant's request for an amendment to the conditional use permit issued in 1994 to allow storage of vehicles to be located along the southeast portion of the property; concrete storage bins to be located on the northeast portion of the lot; and an increase in the maximum number of vehicles stored outside from 20 to 30, to the November 26, 1996, APC meeting to allow the applicant an opportunity to address the adjacent property owners concerns. All approved in favor. Page 19 October 22, 1996 ADVISORY PLANNING COIvMSSION Member Segal moved, Member Heyl seconded, a motion to continue the applicant's request for a conditional use permit for outdoor storage of rental trucks to the November 26, 19961, APC meeting for the same reasons as continuing the applicant's request for an amendment to the 1994 conditional use permit. All approved in favor. Member Segal moved, Member Heyl seconded, a motion to continue the applicant's request for an amendment to the conditional use permit issued in 1995 to the November 26, 1996, APC meeting for the same reasons as above stated. All approved in favor. 6 1 city of eagan TO: Chair Mark Miller Advisory Planning Commission Members FROM: Pamela Dudziak, Associate Planner DATE: November 21, 1996 SUBJECT: Johnson's Richfield Blacktop 3206 Sibley Memorial Hwy.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: D -I, Single -Family Residential ZONING: GB, General Business The Johnson's are requesting conditional use permits and amendments pertaining to property located east of Highway 13 and north of Letendre Street at 3206 Sibley Memorial Highway in the SW 1/4 of Section 9, T -27N, R -23W, legally described as Lot 5, Block 3, Letendre Second Addition. The requests are as follows: 1. Conditional Use Permit for a pylon sign. 2. Conditional Use Permit for outside storage of rental vehicles. 3. Amendment to the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit issued in 1994 to allow a. Storage of vehicles to be located on the southeast rather than the northeast portion of the lot. b.

An increase in the maximum number of vehicles/equipment stored outside from 20 to 30. 4. Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit issued in 1995 to allow: a. Auto repair service for vehicles having a payload rating of up to two tons rather than 3/4 ton. b. Outdoor storage and display of new and used tires. C. Outside vehicle repair. Planning Report - Johnson's Richfield Blacktop October 22, 1996 Page 2 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. 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. Additional standards apply to the evaluation of a conditional use permit for outside storage. Section 11. 10, Subdivision C.1. states that in addition to the above standards for conditional use permit, outdoor storage shall conform to the following standards: A. Outdoor storage items shall be placed within an enclosure. B. All such enclosures shall be attached to the principal building except in the Limited Industrial District. C. The enclosure shall be made of material suitable to the building and the items to be stored. Planning Report - Johnson's Richfield Blacktop October 22, 1996 Page 3 D. The enclosure shall not encroach into any established front building setback area or other required setbacks. E. The enclosure shall not interfere with any pedestrian or vehicular movement. F. The items to be stored shall not exceed the height of the enclosure. G. The display area shall not take up required parking 'spaces or landscaping areas. H. The display area shall be surfaced with concrete or an approved equivalent to control dust and erosion. The surface shall be properly maintained to prevent deterioration. I.

BACKGROLMMISTORY Letendre 2nd Addition was platted and zoned R-1, Single -Family in 1964. Apparently, the building was constructed prior to 1950 and operated as a country store for an undetermined amount of time. In 1966, George Huber acquired the property and the Eagan Town Board approved a rezoning of this property from R-1, Single-family residential to C-1, Light Commercial. The Town Board also approved a conditional use permit for a gasoline service station. When the Eagan Zoning Ordinance was revised in 1975, zoning districts were renamed and this property was zoned GB, General Business. Mr. Huber operated Country Standard for 16 years and then sold the property on a contract for deed in 1982 to Tom MacIntyre who operated the facility as Country Rod & Worm until Mr. Huber foreclosed on the property in 1989. After 1989 the vacant building was in disrepair and the City received numerous complaints, mainly associated with loitering and illegal dumping. In 1994, Johnson's Richfield Sod and Blacktop Company began operating on this property and they have provided building and site improvements since that time. A conditional use permit was issued in 1994 allowing the outside storage of trucks and landscaping materials on this property (see attached 1994 CUP). In 1995, another conditional use permit was issued allowing an auto accessory sales and service facility (see attached 1995 CUP). Earlier this summer, city staff received a complaint regarding operations on this property. City staff subsequently inspected the property and spoke with the owners, Penny and John Johnson, and determined that certain physical conditions of the property were not in compliance with several of the conditions of their two existing conditional use permits. In addition, U -Haul trucks were being stored outside on the property in conjunction with a rental franchise without the required conditional use permit. & 7 Planning Report - Johnson's Richfield Blacktop October 22, 1996 Page 4 The Johnson's have applied for amendments to their existing conditional use permits. The applicants also are requesting two new conditional use permits, one encompassing the outdoor storage of rental vehicles and the other for a pylon sign. The property is zoned GB, General Business and the Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this property D -I, Single -Family Residential. The building is located on the northwest portion of the property, with concrete bin storage of landscape materials on the northeast portion of the site, and truck parking on the southeast portion of the site. The south and east portions of the property have steep grades and are wooded. The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property. North - Single -Family Residence, Zoned R-4 Multiple Residential, Guided D -IV Multiple Residential South - Residential, Zoned R-1 Single -Family Residential, Guided D -I Single -Family Residential East - Residential, Zoned R-1 Single -Family Residential, Guided D -I Single -Family Residential West - Hwy. 13, industrial property, Zoned I-1 Limited Industrial, Guided IND Limited Industrial General Site Evaluation Lot Size - The property has 283 feet of frontage abutting Hwy. 13 and is 2.58 acres in size. Site Plan - The proposed site plan (Site Plan 9/25/96) shows the principal building located in the northwest portion of the property, with parking located north of the building. Northeast of the building is the storage area for landscape materials. East of the building are three existing accessory buildings, in the southeast portion of the property is the truck storage area. A bin for used tire storage is shown at the southeast comer of the principal building, and a semi -trailer is shown located near the southwest corner of the principal building. A sod truck is shown located adjacent to Hwy. 13 on the west side of the property. A future pylon sign is also shown to be located on the southwest "portion of the lot adjacent to Hwy. 13. Storage for U -Haul trucks is shown in the southwest portion of the lot with the business van located west of the U -Haul trucks. The south and east portions of the property contain steep grades and are wooded. Planning Report - Johnson's Richfield Blacktop October 22, 1996 Page 5 Parking - There are nine parking stalls provided on the north side of the principal building. The Zoning Code does not specify a parking requirement for auto service stations, or for the other types of uses conducted on this property, however, nine parking stalls appears to be adequate. The applicants state that they have not had any problems with parking because customers picking up materials will park their vehicles near the materials for loading, and vehicles in for service are in the service bays and not in the parking lot. Landscaping - The proposed landscaping plan shows low growing juniper shrubs and sumac to be located along the western portion of the north property line along the berm, with annuals north of the driveway entrance (Landscape Plan). The existing paved area provides little setback from the west property line and consequently, the landscaping shown in this area is within the Hwy. 13 right-of-way and requires a permit from the state Department of Transportation (MnDOT). The applicant will need to apply to MnDOT for a permit to install landscaping within the right- of-way. If MnDOT does not approve the planting within their right of way, the applicants should provide an alternative plan for landscaping the west side of the property that may include removing some of the existing bituminous surface along the western edge of the site. Grading/Drainaee - The property is not served by storm sewer and drains west to the Hwy. 13 ditch. City Engineering staff reviewed the property and determined that the concrete storage bins in their present location act as an energy dissipator as runoff comes down the hill from the east and drains westerly over the property. If the concrete bins are removed from this location, alternative drainage and erosion provisions should be implemented. Access - The property has two accesses. One is directly to Hwy. 13 at the north end of the lot, and the other off the south end of the lot connects to Letendre Street via a frontage road. No changes to the accesses are proposed. Easements/Rights of Way/Permits - As previously mentioned, a permit from MnDOT is required for landscaping within the state right of way. Signag - The proposed pylon sign is shown within the Hwy. 13 right of way, however, this is an error and the applicants intend to construct the sign on their own property at the required ten foot setback. There is currently signage on the west building facade, and several other signs of various types displayed on the property. Outdoor Storage - The other requests included in this application involve outdoor storage of various kinds. Although 'treated as separate permits, the outdoor storage of various vehicles, equipment and materials impacts the overall operation and appearance of the site. The applicants are requesting to reorient the storage of landscape materials and vehicles associated with the sod and blacktop business from the site plan which was approved in 1994. This requested amendment reflects the current site layout which the applicants have found to be Planning Report - Johnson's Richfield Blacktop October 22, 1996 Page 6 more effective than the original plan. This amendment also includes a request to allow concrete rather than wood storage bins, and an increase in the number of vehicles allowed to be stored under this permit. The applicants are also proposing outdoor storage of U -Haul trucks. This outdoor storage is in a separate location from the other vehicle storage, and would include no more than 5 rental trucks at any one time. Other outdoor storage includes the used tire bin, and display of tires and landscape materials. The used tire bin is an open cage located at the southeast comer of the building. The trash dumpster is also in this location. There is no enclosure to contain and screen the trash dumpster and the used tire bin. An enclosure should be constructed and attached to the principal building. The enclosure should be constructed of materials compatible with the principal building and be of sufficient size to contain and screen the trash dumpster and used tire bin. The applicants have requested to be allowed to display tires outside the building. The applicants have also indicated that in the past they have displayed landscape materials such as decorative windmills in front of the building. The site plan also shows a sod truck proposed to be located adjacent to Hwy. 13, which also is a form of outdoor display. The sod truck should be stored with the other trucks and equipment covered in the 1994 permit. Outdoor display of materials and products should be restricted to a defined area immediately adjacent to the west side of the building, and the display items may consist of tires, sod, lawn ornaments or other products sold on the premises. This area should be physically delineated from the drive aisle with a suitable enclosure and should not interfere with pedestrian and vehicular flow through the site. Tree Preservation - No trees are proposed to be removed. Parks and Recreation - The lot is existing, therefore, parks and trail dedication requirements are not applicable. CUP for Pylon Sign The City Code allows up to one pylon sign per building. Pylon signs may not exceed 27 feet in height or 125 square feet in area per side, and must be set back from all property lines a minimum of ten feet. In addition to a pylon sign, the City Code allows signage on the side of the building facing a public street, not to exceed 20% of the area of that building facade. Temporary signs are permitted without a sign permit provided they are less than 25 square feet in area and may be displayed no more than 10 days per calendar month. Pylon signs are considered a conditional use and as such, are subject to the standards outlined above for conditional uses. Planning Report - Johnson's Richfield Blacktop October 22, 1996 Page 7 The applicants' proposal locates the pylon sign on the west side of the property, and the site plan shows it within the Hwy. 13 right of way, however, the applicants intend to locate the sign on their own property at the required ten foot setback. The sign face consists of an 8 foot wide by ten foot tall panel (Sign Elevation). The top portion of the sign would contain the "Mr. Tire Service" name and logo, and the bottom portion would contain the business name and a changeable message area. The applicants indicated that the pylon sign would provide visibility of their business to passing traffic on Hwy. 13. Since the site is elevated above the Hwy. 13 roadway, the full allowable 27 foot sign height may not be warranted, and if the sign is too high above the roadway, its effectiveness may even be diminished. However, since the applicants have not determined the most effective sign height, they are requesting approval for a pylon sign up to 27 feet in height. As discussed previously, the submittals did not include detailed information about other signage on the site. There is currently signage on the west side of the building facing Hwy. 13, and a banner on the tractor trailer which the applicants propose to retain with the trailer parked at the southwest corner of the building where it is visible from Hwy. 13. All signage must meet the City Sign Code requirements. CUP for Outdoor Storage of Rental Trucks The applicant was renting U -Haul trucks from this property and although a rental shop is a permitted use in the GB zoning district, the outdoor display and storage of rental equipment requires a conditional use permit. The criteria for evaluation of this request are the standards outlined above for conditional use permits and for outdoor storage. The standards in the ordinance are intended to apply across a wide range of situations involving the outdoor storage of materials, merchandise and vehicles. The storage of rental vehicles is proposed to be located in the southwest portion of the property where they are visible from Hwy. 13. While a conditional use permit for outdoor storage of trucks on the property was approved in 1994, that permit pertained only to the landscaping and blacktop operation of Richfield Sod and Blacktop. The outdoor storage of rental trucks on the property is associated with the rental franchise. The applicants have indicated that storing the rental trucks in the area proposed makes use of a portion of the property which is otherwise not utilized, separates the rental trucks from the sod and blacktopping trucks and equipment, and serves as its own advertising that this location is a U -Haul franchise. The applicants also indicated that only a few rental trucks are present at any given time and the number of rental trucks would not exceed five. The applicants are not proposing to construct an enclosure for the vehicle storage area because they block the driveways to the property when the offices are closed and the steep slopes and berm between this lot and adjacent properties in effect serve as a natural enclosure of the storage Planning Report - Johnson's Richfield Blacktop October 22, 1996 Page 8 areas. The intent of the other provisions is satisfied in that the rental truck storage area is located within the paved area of the lot and does not interfere with pedestrian or vehicular movement within the site. Proposed Amendments to 1994 CUP The use of the property allowing outdoor storage of trucks and landscaping materials associated with the operation of Richfield Sod and Blacktop was approved in the 1994 conditional use permit. The site plan specified 10 bins to be used for storage of landscape materials located in the southeast portion of the property, and storage not exceeding 20 vehicles is shown in the northeast portion of the property (Site Plan 1994). The conditions of the permit reiterated what was shown on the original site plan. The "additional conditions" of the permit specified that railroad ties/timber bins were to be installed to screen storage of landscape materials and vehicles not to exceed 20 consisting of dump trucks, pickup trucks and sod trucks and trailers and one semi -trailer vehicle were permitted to be stored in the northeast portion of the property up against the hillside. Having operated the business on this property for two years, the applicants have found the current site design to be more functional than the original proposal for the following reasons. First, the concrete bins are more durable than timber bins, do not become damaged as easily as timber bins, and also do not rot over time. Second, providing bin storage in the northeast portion and truck/equipment storage in the southeast portion of the property minimizes on-site conflicts between customers and the blacktopping trucks and equipment. Third, the concrete bins also function to control erosion and manage the drainage on the north end of the site. As discussed previously, some other drainage and erosion provisions would need to be made if the concrete bins were removed from their present location. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to amend the permit 1) to allow concrete rather than wood bins to screen storage of landscape materials and for the materials storage to be located in the northeast portion of the property rather than the southeast portion_ of the property, and 2) to increase the number of vehicles allowed to be stored on the property from 20 to 30 and for the vehicle storage area to be located on the southeast rather than the northeast portion of the property. The applicants have indicated that winter storage of the vehicles, consisting of dump trucks, sod trucks and trailers, would be located on the north portion of the lot, and further proposed that the one tractor trailer be located at the southwest comer of the principal building. The increase in the number of stored vehicles from 20 to 30 is requested to provide for the future growth of the business, and to avoid another amendment to the conditional use permit if the acquisition of additional vehicles is warranted. The applicants have indicated that they currently have nearly 20 vehicles related to this business which are stored on the property. Staff suggests that in addition to specifying a maximum number of vehicles, the vehicle storage area also should be defined on the site plan and physically delineated on the property. The site plan currently Planning Report - Johnson's Richfield Blacktop October 22, 1996 Page 9 shows vehicle storage consisting of the paved area east of the principal building, and east of a line extending south from the southeast corner of the principal building to the south edge of the pavement. One semi -trailer was approved to be stored on the property in 1994. The applicants are now requesting that its location be moved to the southwest corner of the building as shown on the proposed site plan. The tractor trailer serves as additional storage space for tires and supplies associated with the vehicle repair operation and the proposed location is more convenient to the auto service bays. Since the use of this tractor trailer is to provide additional storage space, it should be considered temporary and should be removed, or stored with the other trucks and equipment in the defined storage area on the southeast portion of the property. The van located west of the proposed U -Haul truck storage area on the site plan was not specifically identified as a storage item in the 1994 conditional use permit, but should be included under the outdoor storage provisions for vehicles and equipment. The site plan shows one sod truck located on the west edge of the property where it is visible from Hwy. 13. Placing the sod truck in this location is a form of outside display not allowed under the existing conditional use permit. The sod truck and van should be stored with the other trucks and equipment. Display of the sod itself can be accommodated within a display area adjacent to the west side of the building as discussed above in the outdoor storage section under General Site Evaluation. Proposed Amendments to 1995 CUP The use of the property for an auto accessory sales and service facility was approved in the 1995 conditional use permit (see attached CUP 1995). That permit restricted maintenance and repair to vehicles having a payload rating of three-quarter ton or less, and specified that no outdoor storage of vehicles, equipment or supplies associated with the auto and truck services was allowed. The permit further restricted all installation or repair services to take place within the principal building only. The applicants originally proposed servicing of autos and light trucks. The maximum three-quarters ton payload rating for vehicles allowed to be serviced was provided by the applicant to define the term "light trucks." To avoid the appearance of clutter, the outdoor storage of vehicles, equipment and supplies was not allowed because a significant portion of the property already was devoted to outside storage. The restriction on repair services to be conducted entirely within the principal building was also a reiteration of the applicants original proposal. City staff has a number of concerns relating to outdoor repair operations. Specifically, the intent of the Zoning Code is that uses should be entirely contained within the principal building. Outdoor repair is not typical of any service facility in Eagan, and for enforcement purposes, it would be difficult to determine what constitutes an "emergency" repair or when it is too hot to work inside. The applicants are requesting amendments to the 1995 conditional use permit 1) to allow maintenance and repair of vehicles with a payload rating of up to two tons, 2) to allow the Planning Report - Johnson's Richfield Blacktop October 22, 1996 Page 10 display and storage of new and used tires in front of the building, and 3) to allow vehicle services to be conducted outside. In addition, the site plan shows a used tire bin located adjacent to the building at the southeast comer. This bin is an open cage and holds used tires awaiting pick up for recycling. The tire bin and the trash dumpster are located at the southeast comer of the building, but are not within an enclosure. The tire bin and dumpster should be within a screened enclosure which is attached to the principal building. The applicants are requesting an increase in the size of vehicles that may be serviced from three- quarters to two tons. The applicants' reason for this request is to enable servicing of fleet accounts. According to the applicant, fleet vehicles they could service exceed three-quarters ton payload rating and the current conditions of the conditional use permit are too restrictive. The applicants believe they should be allowed to service any vehicle which will fit within the confines of their shop and they have indicated that vehicles up to two tons in size will fit inside the service bays. The applicants are requesting that they be allowed to display tires outside in front of the building. Outside display is subject to the outside storage provisions outlined at the beginning of this report. Again, the standards in the ordinance are intended to apply across a wide range of situations involving the outdoor storage of materials, merchandise and vehicles. A suitable enclosure should be provided for the display area and display items should include only products sold or distributed on the premises. The area in front of the building is surfaced with bituminous and there is sufficient room in front of the building to accommodate the outside display and not impede pedestrian or vehicular traffic. The outside display should be restricted to an area immediately west of and adjacent to the building and extending not more than six feet west of the building. A suitable enclosure should be provided to define the storage area and delineate it from the drive aisle. Outside service is requested so that the applicants can provide better customer service. In those instances when both service bays are occupied, the applicants would like to be able to serve a walk-in customer with an emergency repair need. Additionally, the applicants state that the service bays are not air conditioned and ventillation is provided by a couple fans. Consequently, the shop area can become very hot on the warmest days during the summer months. For this reason, the applicants would like formal approval to allow them to do an oil change or tire repair outside on those occasions. The requests are in response to compliance issues raised by staff that were largely generated by a neighbor's complaint regarding the Richfield Blacktop operation. Although the complaint pertained to use issues (noise, diesel fuel fumes) not physical issues (placement of storage), the Johnson's were not in full compliance with all of the conditions of their previous conditional use permits. The requests reflect both the experience of the applicants in working with this property '7 3 Planning Report - Johnson's Richfield Blacktop October 22, 1996 Page 11 for two years (amendments to reflect the existing site layout) and forethought towards the future as to what their future needs may be (i.e. additional vehicle storage, new sign). In light of the numerous components involved with this site, subsequent to City Council action, the applicants should provide staff with a comprehensive site plan that delineates and identifies all site uses and provides elevation drawings of all enclosures, etc. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED A.

October 17, 1996 Mr. Mark Miller Planning Commission City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 Re: Lot 5, Block 3, Letendre 2nd Addition 3206 Sibley Memorial Highway Dear Mr. Miller: OCT 1 8 1996 We purchased the above commercial property two years ago. At the time of purchase it had been abandoned property for five years and would have been condemned had we not purchased it. Because of the lack of lighting and tenants, the property was a haven for unsupervised youths, drug dealers, rapes and garbage dumping, all which necessitated many visits by the Eagan police. Since its purchase, numerous improvements and renovations have been made in order to bring it up to the standards the nature of our business demands. Specifically, we would like consideration of the following: • a pylon sign to advertise the business • outside storage of rental vehicles in order to achieve a year round business (because the Sod and Blacktop companies are seasonal) the location of the rock bins and truck storage were changed in order to accommodate the new flow of traffic due to the addition of the tire business, and to provide a barrier to control the waterflow that has developed due to the extensive fill which has been added to the property by a neighbor. This conclusion was confirmed by Craig Knudsen in a memo to Steve Dorgan. • We would like to increase the number of vehicles stored from 20 to 30 in order to accommodate growth within our company. This is a very optimistic figure, but because of the cost involved to amend a CUP, we would like to request 10 additional spaces. Our original CUP had provisions to work on 3/4 ton vehicles. We have since learned that this provides insufficient revenue and have also acquired a new account, Safety Kleen, which does have some larger trucks in the fleet. Outdoor storage of merchandise is a common marketing practice designed to create interest and generate business. Ever since we have removed these displays we have noted a marked decline in our business volume Outdoor vehicle repair is a standard practice done among business of our nature. We are requesting the same, but would limit the practice to emergency situations only. This practice would be limited to customers that would otherwise go elsewhere. We look forward to having the opportunity to explain the need for these changes and invite each and every cine of you to stop by or call for more information. We are encouraged by the majority of the neighbors that have expressed their enthusiasm and support. We hope your consideration to the requests will be in favor of the changes that are necessary to the existence of our family owned business.

R Todd N1; Rev- RECErVEp ' 2 5 1996 At the conclusion of the Planning Commission meeting held on Tuesday, October 22, 1996, I spoke to you and your clients in the lobby of the City Hall regarding a proposed compromise on this matter. I had no response from you or your client regarding this proposal and, thus, I presumed you were not interested in negotiating on this matter. Since the meeting, we have reviewed the situation with our clients. We were prepared to propose to the City that we will not object to your application for the sign, nor will we object to the rental U -Haul trucks if they are stored on the northeast edge of the property. Further we would have no objection to your location of the tire storage units outside the building. As to repair of vehicles outside the building, we will leave that to the Planning Commission to treat you in the same manner as all other persons servicing vehicles in the City of Eagan. In exchange for these considerations, we would insist on compliance with the original permit location and construction of the bins and removal of the illegal bins. Further, that there be a condition that loading will be done only by a non -diesel BobCat or similar vehicle with a bucket size of one-half yard or less. There also shall be no idling of diesel trucks anywhere east of the building nor an increase in the number of vehicles stored on the property. Landscaping or a fence shall be maintained to provide year round elimination of vision of the business by the properties to the east, as required by City Code, while maintaining their view of the Minnesota River Valley. On Thursday, November 21, 1996 I contacted you by telephone to inquire why we had no response and you indicated that your clients had not contacted you. Subsequently, that Thursday afternoon you advised me that you did speak with your clients and they were not interested in discussing negotiations or compromise on this matter.

In fact, you did submit a proposal which was considered by my clients. However, because that proposal seemed to them to require exactly the same thing they are currently required to do under the conditional use permit issued in 1994, and results in conditions unacceptable to the City of Eagan, my clients have refused to accept your client's proposal. Your attempt to portray my clients as uncompromising is as inconsistent as the facts you have repeatedly presented to the planning commission. Because of your client's complairm, my clients have already installed extra quiet mufflers on their equipment, cut down their operating hours from 6:OOA.M. to 7:00 A.M. on weekdays, and until 8:00 A.M. on weekends. John J. Todd November 22, 1996 Page 2 All of these efforts which my clients took seem to have only caused your client to seek more concessions from my clients. They want only to be able to run their business in a reasonable manner and have always been concerned about their neighbors and the community. Their feeling is nothing they can do will ever satisfy Mr. Miller. Therefore, they agree to abide by whatever terms are made by the Eagan City Council.

Although this seems to be a very complex issue to the City, we as neighbors see it differently since this is a small neighborhood - a neighborhood semi -circling Richfield Blacktop. Because we are irra small proximity of each other, whether a resident or a business, we do affect each other. After nearly 6 months of discussion regarding this issue, re -reading various documentation, and after reviewing the Meredith Cable taping of all the past meetings, we feel you may have been given some incorrect and misrepresented information. We would like to take this opportunity to make corrections to some statements made: +� As stated by Todd, "...an industrial operation in there, not a landscaping operation, an industrial operation." RESPONSE: - Johnson's Blacktop and Garden Store is a retail operation serving residents. -Definition of industrial according to the Webster Comprehensive Dictionan- used as an adjective is pertaining to or engaged in industry -Example of industrial would be Edward Kraemer and a rock quarry would be Shiely. • As stated by Todd, "Big storage areas where dump trucks come in and a diesel loader that loads these industrial loads at 6:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. RESPONSE: -Actual operation is from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Mon. -Fri. 8: 00 A.M to S:. 00 P.M. Sat. -7he diesel loader has already been sold. All loads were to retail customers only + As stated by Todd, "Diesel fumes have gone up to destroy the environment of my clients homes..." RESPONSE: -We find it difficult to believe that with all the traffic on Highway 13 and the number of diesel semi -trucks that travel that road that it would be impossible to identify whose diesel fumes belong to whom. -The Johnson's are not the first ones on that property to have owned or service diesel vehicles. Diesel Service is directly across Hwy 13 and there are Police documented calls from Mr. Miller complaining of the diesel fumes coming from that business. ,3 As stated by Todd, "...dumping into metal trucks, the noise, the racket wakes you up at 6 A.M. and goes all day." RESPONSE: -Operation hours are 7:00 A.M. to 7.00 P.M. Mon. -Fri. 8: 00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Sat. -Truck loading ranges from 3 minutes to 10 minutes -Average day: 0-3 loads, maximum 5-9 loads * As stated by -Todd, "No objection storing 5 U -Haul trailers at the South end of the property." RESPONSE: If not mistaken that's where they were parked in the first place. +� As stated by Todd, "...do the business they originally agreed to do." RESPONSE: It seems they are saying that a business that opens in Eagan can't grow or can't change. Barb Miller made reference to the property on the south that is said to be heavily wooded. RESPONSE: Clearly you will see by photos presented at the meeting, that the properly mentioned is not as stated. * "We were happy with Hubers when they were there and used their services. Mr. Huber did not have diesel trucks at that time. RESPONSE: -See attachment from George Huber to Penny Johnson. (7125196) -Also the attached letter from George and Pat Huber (11105196) -George Huber was in the top ten and matter of fact, # I seller of diesel fuel in the state of Minnesota As stated by Ron Miller, "I realize the Johnson's financial problems ... had to move because of a financial situation..." RESPONSE: Johnson's did not leave Bloomington for financial reasons. • As stated by Ron Miller, "I represented the neighborhood on this ... and even represented the neighborhood on a number of other issues." RESPONSE: -We are clearly letting you know that Miller does not speak for us nor does he represent us. • "...never said anything against anybody's character like was said against mine tonight." RESPONSE: -After viewing the October 22nd meeting over a number of times, not once did anyone say anything against Mr. Miller's character. In fact, the following statements were made against the Johnsons that evening - `I strongly suggest... not to allow someone to come in and flaunt your regulations... " and "...coming in with unclean hands. " and "..thumbing their nose right at the city. " q f 2 J • "...attempted to talk to a couple of neighbors, primarily the neighbors on Letendre Street who are more than 350 feet..." RESPONSE: Mr. Miller made no attempt to contact us directly or by mail -We do live within 350 feet of the Johnson's property. -Even with all that has gone on in the past 6 months, Miller still has not made any attempt to speak with us about his views +� As stated by Ron Miller, "...to allow -uh- to agree to..." RESPONSE: -He seems to feel that whatever "he " agrees to in regards to the conditional use permit or generally Johnson's property is the written law. It is suppose to be a City Code, not a Miller Code. Thank you for allowing us to address just some of the discrepancies for your consideration. In addition, we would appreciate very much if you would read the attached letters. Our feelings have only grown stronger since they were written. Back in August of 1996, we signed a petition stating our support for Johnson's Richfield Blacktop and want you to be aware that in November of 1996, we are still very much in support of the Johnson's. Having the Johnson's in our neighborhood is important to us. They have made a difference and we want to see them stay. cpael and Joanne O'Keofe W9 Letendre Street Eagan, MN 55121 454-5515 W Michael and Jody Billmeier 1673 Letendre Street Eagan, MN 55121 454-2150 r,� ��=� �'cu ; �� � � o •996 Craig and Peggy Van Winkle 3240 Heritage Lane Eagan, MN 55121 Notes and thoughts of the Van Winkle's concerning the noise issue of Johnson Blacktop company. To whom it may concern: We own property that dir-�_-ctly borders Johnson Blacktop. Our property overlooks Johnson's from the southeast. Our family became involved in this ordeal when Mr. Miller and his council came to ask permission to take pictures from our property onto the Johnsons, and stating issues of his lawsuit against the Johnson's. Mainly the noise, fumes, property appearance, and hours of operation, were his complaint. Previously, we, had not had a problem, but from then on took note of the Johnsons property. My wife does not work outside the home, so was able to watch for these things. Some noise was noted, but we feel this is to be expected with any commercial business. Most of the noise occur during the opening and closing hours. She could not substantiate the hours of operation that Mr. Miller was quoting. We never noticed any fumes going across our property from Johnsons Blacktop. Nor- do we have a problem with the appearance of the property, in which we directly overlook since there are no trees or fences obscuring our view, which if given a choice, we prefer. Some of the actions against the Johnsons appear to be irrational and illogical. Though there is noise associated with this property, we feel is neither detrimental or out of the bounds of a commercial operation. Our neighborhood is old and small. Our R-1 lots are approximately one block wide due to the piece -meal manner in which this end of Eagan grew. Our neighborhood is severely split over this issue that never should have gotten to where it is. First hand and accurte knowledge must me gained by the council. We cannot rely on non-factual and emotionally charged statements to dictate how this issue is resolved. We urge the council to end this issue and let our neighborhood begin to heal. ` / Lae �v�=G4 � L� •�r� a. November 12, 1995 To the City of Eagan's Planning Commission: Dear Members: We are Jeff and Denise Poetter and we live at 3270 Highway #13 in Eagan. We would like to address this letter to the Planning Commission regarding the problem between Johnson Blacktop Company and Mr. & Mrs. Ron Miller and Mr. & Mrs. Tim Green. We live on the comer of Letendre Street and the service road used by Johnson's Blacktop Company and ourselves. Before Johnson's moved in, the building had become very run down with broken windows and garbage dumped everywhere. The place had become a breeding ground for drug dealers and vandals. There was car traffic all hours of the day and night due to the usage of the pay phone located on the property. We have been very pleased with the operation of Johnson's business. We are not bothered by diesel fumes in our yard or by noise caused directly by Johnson's. We have seen what the place looked like before the Johnson's moved in. Now the property is well kept, the pay phone is gone, and the main traffic on the service road is Johnson's vehicles, which we see going in and out periodically during the day. This traffic is much less than that before the Johnson's arrival. The drivers of their trucks are always cautious and considerate to us whether we are in our vehicles or on foot. We would hate to see the Johnson's business leave. What type of business would move into this spot next? We may not be as lucky as we are now if Johnson's are forced to leave. We would hate to see the place become the run down dump sight and drug dealing grounds it had been at few years ago. We feel this problem between the Millers/Greens and Johnsons has tom apart our neighborhood. We would like to see a resolution that makes all parties involved happy and content. Please consider what we have written here today, and make the best decision you can make to resolve this matter as fairly and swiftly as possible. ,----Sincerely, l; Denise and Jeff P�oetter 3270 Highway #13 Eagan, MN 55121 (612) 454-5634 �D( M,SABA Octmber 24, 1996 TO: Eagan City Council To Whom It May Concern: My name is Jan A.

We had a goad Diesel business avid when Mr. Thomas r1c^ Intyre purchased the property from us in 1982 he received a Permit from the city of Eagan to install two -additional tantts from which he sold Diesel fuel.

MH mat «s"w-a.rs c04 IN* Tam PACE.01 ass November 16, 1996 Dear Advisory Planning Commission: 6 096 Soon we will have another meeting regarding the CUP for our company and are concerned over the amount of misinformation of facts and events that have led to the problems that exist between us and the Miller and Green parties. So much has been blown out of proportion. We would like to take this opportunity to give you a little background. The business was started in 1951 by my father. Up until 1994, it was located in Bloomington in a part residential/business neighborhood. In fact, we had homes on both sides and behind our facility and never experienced any kind of problems with them. Our lease expired and we purchased the said property in Eagan. As you know, the property had been abandoned for five years and we put a tremendous amount of work, time and money into the building and land that had previously been a diesel gas station. At the time we applied for the CUP, our main priority was to get approval for a business that was already suffering because of our move and because of the hours devoted to updating the property. More than 500 hours alone went into the construction of the berm on the North side. We were pleased our CUP was granted, and our efforts continued non-stop to get the business running. Our blacktopping and landscaping business is only seasonal and we lost many customers when we made the move to the other side of the river. We then added Mr. Tire business to generate a more consistent source of income. This business was added after our original plan was approved with regard to bin location and parking of the trucks. We saw that the original plan if left as is, would have put the customer safety at risk when entering the garage area. Customers would have have been too close to trucks loading rock and backing up. We decided to place the bins on the Northeast corner of that reason. It did not occur to us we needed to get permission to change the bin location on our property. I assure you, we would never have knowing what we know now. We believe we were making a good sound decision that would make the best use of our land and at the same time, ensure the safety of our customers. Agsin, we'd like to stress that the Mr. Tire business did not exist when we presented our site plan for the location of bins. Had we been aware that we should have requested permission to change the location, we would have done that and feel confident it would have been approved. Please understand we were not aware that changes of that nature needed to have approval. Is this typical of all businesses in Eagan and if so, is there distributed material given to the business owners advising them of the this? If so, we didn't receive any. It should be noted, that the purpose and reasons for the bins being where they are today is strictly to eliminate the traffic flow risk to our customers and assist with the water flow from the hill above. We believe that our decision solved two problems and never imagined it would cause any problems with the Millers or Greens. We have never experienced such problems as with these two neighbors in all the years we have been in business. We have worked hard to establish a relationship with our neighborhood, customers, employers, employees and business relationships to be more than cooperative. We maintain our property in a manner that is appropriate with the neighborhood we are in. As you have heard from the majority of neighbors, we have made a positive difference. We have shown this same respect and willingness to cooperate towards both Mr. Miller and Mr. Green. When we first learned of Mr. Miller's noise complaint, we changed our activities as much as possible to satisfy him. Following is a list of things we did. ► installed special noise reduction mufflers on our tractors ► opened at 8:00 A.M instead of 7:00 A.M. on Saturday ► replaced one of the trucks with an aluminum box that has a bed liner to lessen the noise ► sold the diesel tractor that he specifically complained about In addition, his original complaint was the noise from our employee using a broom to clean out the bed of his truck. This too, was taken care of by instructing that employee not to make any noise before 7:00 A.M. on weekday mornings and in fact, he is no longer with us. We hope you can see that we did address these complaints and that we have made changes and compromises to cooperate with Mr. Miller and Mr. Green. Finally, we currently have a restraining order against Mr. Miller at the suggestion of one of the Eagan Police officers. Mr. Miller made a number of calls to the police department and complained to our employees in a very unpleasant manner. We had to put up with Mr. Miller hiring a private detective and others taking pictures and causing disruptions of our operation. Recently Mr. Miller tried to have the order lifted, but the Court decided the harassment order was to remain in effect for two years. Knowing this information we feel will give you a little background of events that have led to the current situation. We should point out that we are truly a "small" business. The noise from the landscaping business and landscape trucks is not an all day happening. This is a seasonal business. During the summer months, the average number of times we load a truck with rock or dirt is 4 or 5 times a day. These are all residential loads that take 3 to 10 minutes. As far as our blacktopping business is concerned, our blacktop crew reports to work 7:00 AM., the trucks are started up, they are gone all day until they return usually around 4:00 P.M. All loads for this is off-site. Thank you for consideration of this information and we would be happy to answer any questions you may have. I would like to extend an invitation to you to tour of our facility before the November 26th meeting. Please contact -us at our home 890-8666 or at work 454-1080.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: IND, Limited Industrial ZONING: I-1, Limited Industrial North Star Transport is requesting an Interim Use Permit (IUP) to allow outdoor storage of semi trailers as a principal use on property located in the SW 1/4 of Section 12, south of Borchert Lane between Mike Collins Drive and the railroad. City Code Section 11.22, Subd. 1 defines Interim Use as "a temporary use of property until a particular date, until the occurrence of a particular event or until zoning regulations no longer permit it." Section 11.22, Subd. 2 Conditions. states: The Council may issue interim use permits for an interim use of property if- A. £ A. The use is deemed to be temporary in light of the Comprehensive Guide Plan designation for the property site on which the use is located and the use conforms to the zoning regulations herein. 13 C. 0 The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty. Permission of the use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future; and The user agrees to any conditions that the Council deems appropriate for permission of the use; and lob Planning Report - North Star Transport November 26, 1996 Page 2 E. The use meets the standards set forth inn the zoning regulations herein governing conditional use permits. 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. 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. This tax forfeit parcel is owned by the state and managed by Dakota County. The City is in the process of acquiring the parcel for parks and recreation development of North Park. This property was an unlicensed dump site, used primarily for disposal of road construction debris. Prior to acquiring the property, the City must prepare a closure plan for the past dumping which occurred on the property. Preparation of the closure plan is currently in progress and City acquisition is anticipated within the next year. Planning Report - North Star Transport November 26, 1996 Page 3 North Star Transport recently arranged a lease agreement with the County to store semi trailers on this site; however, they have been doing so for several years. In investigating a complaint regarding the trailer storage it was determined that a conditional use permit which the City requires for the outdoor storage had not been obtained. Because City acquisition of the property is anticipated, rather than a conditional use permit, an interim use permit is requested to allow the continued use of the northern portion of the parcel for the outdoor storage of semi trailers by North Star Transport. The site is generally open except around Pond EP -2 which is moderately to heavily wooded. The area proposed for outdoor storage is gravelled and generally slopes toward the west, with steep slopes adjacent to Pond EP -2. A majority of the site upland from Pond EP -2 has been previously graded. The use of the property by North Star Transport has resulted in greater security of the property against unauthorized access. The site is secured by a fence along the north portion of the property and a gate at the access drive. Dakota County also has posted "no trespassing" signs. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Power Brake Equipment, Zoned I-1, Limited Industrial; Guided IND, Limited Industrial South - Compost site and Gopher Smelting; Zoned PD, Planned Development; Guided IND, Limited Industrial East - Vacant, Zoned I-1, Limited Industrial; Guided IND, Limited Industrial West - Vacant, Zoned I-1, Limited Industrial; Guided IND, Limited Industrial r *M1 It K% 1i1i)i an R 31011) Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The property is zoned Limited Industrial, along with surrounding property and the Planned Development property to the south and southeast contains industrial uses. Outdoor storage of semi trailers is a conditional use in the I-1 zoning district. Parcels adjacent to the storage area contain similar industrial uses and would not be negatively impacted by the continued storage of semi trailers on this site on an interim basis. Site Plan/Landscaping - The site is 47.98 acres in size, the western portions of which is Pond EP- -2 The outdoor storage area is located on the north end of the parcel. If this were a conditional use permit and the City was not planning to take over the property in the near future, the developer would be responsible for upgrading the storage area with concrete curb and gutter, bituminous paving and storm sewer. However, because this is an interim use permit, these standard site improvements are not proposed by the developer, nor considered appropriate by staff because of the temporary nature of an interim use permit. t (o Planning Report - North Star Transport November 26, 1996 Page 4 Grading/Wetlands - No additional grading is proposed for this use. As mentioned previously, North Star Transport has already been using this site for trailer storage. The applicant has indicated that a maximum of 75 trailers would be stored on this site. Access/Street Design - Access to the site is via Borchert Lane off of Mike Collins Drive. Tree Preservation - Trees and other vegetation currently on the site will remain undisturbed. The use of the property for semi trailer storage is compatible with surrounding development and satisfies the criteria outlined in the City Code for an interim uses. To approve or deny an Interim Use Permit for outdoor storage as a principal use. This Permit shall terminate upon the earlier of two years following the date of issuance of the permit, or 30 days following notice to the applicant that the City has acquired ownership of the property. 2. - This Interim Use Permit shall be subject to an annual administrative review. The purpose of such review shall be to determine compliance with the conditions of the permit. The Interim Use Permit may be revoked for failure to comply with any condition of the Permit following notice of the noncompliance and a hearing by the City Council with all interested parties being given an opportunity to be heard. 3. All storage shall be located on the northern portion of the property and contained within the existing gravel surfaced area. 4. The property shall be used for storage of semi trailers only. 5. No more than 75 semi trailers shall be stored on the property at any one time. 6. No vehicle maintenance activity shall be conducted on the property.

In addition, there are residential developments east and south of the site. No. The APC conducted a public hearing on the proposed Conditional Use Permits at their regular meeting on November 26, 1996, and recommended approval of outside storage area for pallets, cardboard and recyclable materials subject to the conditions outlined in the minutes of the APC meeting. The APC recommended denial of the outside trailer storage. ISSUES: ► Members of the APC expressed frustration with on-going code enforcement issues i17 pertaining to outdoor storage with Wal-Mart. Trash and recyclable materials, primarily boxes and pallets, have been stored outside near the loading area, and merchandise other than yard and garden products have been stored with the garden store area on the south side of the building. ► The APC also stated that the outdoor container storage for over -stock merchandise was inappropriate and not consistent with past City practice or current operations of other Eagan retailers. ► The APC encouraged Wal-Mart to construct some or all of their approved 30,000 SF expansion. BACKGROUND/ATTACHMENTS: (1) APC minutes of November 26, 1996, to be forwarded with additional information on Monday. Staff report, pages 4 through %l � c9 PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: November 21, 1996 APPLICANT: Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. PROPERTY OWNER: Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. CASE: 15 -CU -25-10-96 HEARING DATE: November 26, 1996 PREPARED BY: Pamela Dudziak REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage LOCATION: 1360 Town Center Drive COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: CSC - Community Shopping Center ZONING: CA - Central Area Wal-Mart Stores is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for outdoor storage on their property located at 1360 Town Center Drive. The proposed outdoor storage is located on the east side of the building and consists of two types: 1) a trash and recyclable materials storage area is proposed near the loading docks, and 2) up to sixteen cargo trailers are proposed at the northeast and southeast corners of the building for merchandise storage. The cargo trailers are proposed to be used from October 1 to December 15. 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. � �1 Planning Report - Wal-Mart November 26, 1996 Page 2 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. Additional standards apply to the evaluation of a conditional use permit for outside storage. Section 11. 10, Subdivision C.1. states that in addition to the above standards for conditional use permit, outdoor storage shall conform to the following standards: A. Outdoor storage items shall be placed within an enclosure. B. All such enclosures shall be attached to the principal building except in the Limited Industrial District. C. The enclosure shall be made of material suitable to the building and the items to be stored. D. The enclosure shall not encroach into any established front building setback area or other required setbacks. E. The enclosure shall not interfere with any pedestrian or vehicular movement. F. The items to be stored shall not exceed the height of the enclosure. G. The display area shall not take up required parking spaces or landscaping areas. H. The display area shall be surfaced with concrete or an approved equivalent to control dust and erosion. The surface shall be properly maintained to prevent deterioration. I. The square footage of outdoor display area shall be included in the calculation of required off-street parking for the principal use of the property. �,C;-C) Planning Report - Wal-Mart November 26, 1996 Page 3 The property was platted in 1991 and the store constructed in 1992. Over the past four years, city staff has dealt with code enforcement issues pertaining to outdoor storage with Wal-Mart. Trash and recyclable materials have been stored outside near the loading dock area, and the garden store area has been used for storage of merchandise other than yard and garden products. In addition to these issues, this fall Wal-Mart brought in 13 cargo trailers and located them east of the store to provide additional merchandise storage space during the holiday season. City staff contacted the store manager and advised him that a conditional use permit is required for outdoor storage. Subsequently, Wal-Mart submitted this application for a conditional use permit to allow the use of the cargo trailers and to allow the outdoor storage of trash and recyclable materials near the loading docks. City staff continues to advise Wal-Mart that a condition of their original approval requried that only yard and garden products may be stored and displayed within the fenced garden store area. The original approval of Wal-Mart included a 30,000 square feet expansion area off the rear or east side of the existing buidling. This expansion has not been constructed. The Wal-Martstore is located at the south end of the Town Center Shopping Center, north of Duckwood Drive and east of Town Center Drive. The building entrance is on the west side with parking west of the building, and loading docks are located at the southeast corner of the building. Loading area access is primarily via a service drive from Duckwood Drive. The painted block wall near the loading area has not been maintained and the paint is peeling. SURROUNDING USES The Town Center Shopping Center is designated CA - Central Area in the Comprehensive Guide Plan and zoned CSC - Community Shopping Center. Wal -Mart's outdoor storage is proposed to be located on the east side of the building. The eastern property immediately adjacent to Wal- Mart and the proposed outdoor storage area is vacant commercial property. East of Denmark Avenue are the Forest Ridge apartments which are zoned R4. The following list indicates the uses, zoning and comprehensive guide plan designations which surround the subject property. North - Kohl's store, Zoned CSC - Community Shopping Center, Guided CA - Central Area South - Retail stores, Zoned CSC - Community Shopping Center, Guided CA - Central Area East - Vacant Property, Zoned CSC - Community Shopping Center, Guided CA - Central Area West - Super America and auto service mall, Zoned CSC - Community Shopping Center, Guided CA - Central Area lad Planning Report - Wal-Mart November 26, 1996 Page 4 Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The site is within a large commercial retail/service area. The proposed outdoor storage area is situated at the rear of the building near the loading area. However, the adjacent property between Wal -Mart's proposed outdoor storage area and Denmark Avenue is also zoned CSC - Community Shopping Center and eventually will develop with commercial uses. Although it is anticipated that these these future commercial buildings will be oriented toward Denmark Avenue with their loading areas adjacent to Wal -Mart's loading area, they will be in close proximity to the proposed outdoor storage area. In addition, there are residential developments both south and east of the site. The aesthetic impact of the proposed storage area to these residences, future commercial developements and from the public right-of- way should be considered. Currently they will be visible from Duckwood Drive. Site Plan - The cargo trailers are proposed to be located on the east side of the property at the north and south ends of the building. There is currently a total of 13 trailers on the site, but the applicant has requested the permit to allow up to 16 trailers. The cargo trailers do not have wheels or legs and sit directly on the ground. Each trailers is approximately eight feet in width and height, and 40 feet long. The trailers are located between the service drive and the building on the lawn area, and no paving of this area is proposed. No enclosure for the trailer storage area is proposed. The proposed storage area .for trash and recyclable materials is at the southeast corner of the building, east of the existing concrete wall which screens the loading docks from Duckwood Drive. The applicant proposes to construct an extension of this concrete wall to further enclose and screen the trash and recyclable materials storage area from view to the south and east. The wall extension is proposed to be eight feet in height, and of the same grey and red painted concrete materials as the existing wall. Grading/Wetlands - No grading is proposed. Storm Drainage/Wateruality - The trailers are located on the lawn area of the site and result in some additional runoff being generated, however the amount of additional runoff generated and its impact on water quality is insignificant. Damage to the lawn resulting from the trailers will need to be restored when the trailers are removed. Utilities - The proposed outdoor storage has no impact on existing utilities. Access/Street Design - No changes to accesses or street design are proposed. The proposed wall extension and location of the cargo trailers will not interfere with the loading docks or other access and circulation around the building. Easements/Rights of Way/Permits - According to the site plan, the proposed outdoor storage containers will be partially located within a drainage and utility easement dedicated to the City (aa Planning Report - Wal-Mart November 26, 1996 Page 5 with the Town Centre 70 11th Addition over a sanitary sewer line. The developer should be aware that, subject to terms of the easement, in the event a situation arises that the City needs to access this sanitary sewer, the trailers will need to be removed from the easement at no cost to the City. Tree Preservation - No trees are being removed as part of this proposal. The City Code outlines specific criteria for outdoor storage and display which are listed under the Authority for Review section of this report. Wal -Mart's proposed outdoor storage of trash and recyclable materials includes the construction of a screening wall to enclose the storage area, and appears to satisfy the other criteria outlined in the City Code. The original approval of Wal-Mart included a 30,000 square feet expansion area off the rear or east side of the existing buidling. This expansion has not been constructed. The original Wal-Mart approval included a building expansion which has not been constructed. The outdoor storage of cargo trailers is proposed in the location identified for expansion to provide additional warehouse space. Outdoor trailer storage to provide additional warehouse space for a retail facility has not been allowed elsewhere in Eagan. The proposal varies from the criteria for outdoor storage established in the City Code in that the cargo trailers are not on a hard surface and are not proposed to be screened and within an enclosure. Their presence visually impacts on the residents in the apartments east across Denmark Avenue and to a lesser degree residents and traffic to the south on Duckwood Drive. Sight lines and visibility from Denmark Avenue and the apartments will be opened up as the property east of Wal-Mart develops. A. To approve or deny a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage of trash and recyclable materials. Approval should be subject to the following conditions: 1. An eight foot screening wall shall be constructed around the trash and recyclable materials storage area and shall consist of materials and color scheme to match the existing wall and building. B. To approve or deny a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage of cargo trailers. Approval should be subject to the following conditions: 1. The outdoor storage of cargo trailers shall be allowed only between October 1 and December 15 of each year. �a3 Planning Report - Wal-Mart November 26, 1996 Page 6 2. In the event a situation arises that the City needs to access this sanitary sewer, the trailers will need to be removed from the easement at no cost to the City. 3. The trailer storage area shall be hardsurfaced with bituminous or concrete. �04 FINANCIAL OBLIGATION -15 -CU -25-10-96, Lot 1, Block 1, Town Centre 70 Eleventh Addition There are pay-off balances of special assessments totaling $0 on the parcel proposed 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 system.

FACTS: The City Code distributes 18 on -sale liquor licenses to hotels, higher valued restaurants and other restaurants. With special legislation Eagan can currently issue up to 26 on -sale liquor licenses. Consequently, it is necessary to amend the code. At the special City Council meeting held on November 7, 1996, the City Attorney's Office was directed to prepare an ordinance amendment that amends the City Code to distribute three licenses for hotels and remaining 23 licenses to be designated for restaurants and, further, that no license could be held for more than two years if the license is not used.

Terrance J. Maglich and Michael G. Maglich, who each own 50% of the title shares in MGM Spirits Express, have recently purchased that store from Jerome Miller and John Teslaw. MGM Spirits Express Inc., is recognized by the State of Minnesota as a corporation and all appropriate documents relating to this corporation have been submitted with this application. Further, MGM Spirits Express Inc., is currently operating 13 MGM Liquor Warehouses in the State of Minnesota. Background checks were run on Terrance and Michael Maglich and they were found to have no criminal record. Further, the present store manager, Christopher A. Thompson, will maintain his status as store manager. In conclusion, I feel there is no reason to deny this transfer of ownership. Sincerely, 'e Patrick J.
