Agenda Information Memo,
November 17, 1987, City Council Meeting
There are two (2) items on the agenda referred to as consent
items requiring one (1) motion by the City Council. If the City
Council wishes to discuss any of the items in further detail, those
items should be removed from the Consent Agenda and placed under
Additional Items unless the discussion required is brief.
PERSONNEL ITEMS
A. PERSONNEL ITEMS:
Item 1. Police Officer --The City of Eagan approved budget for the
calendar year 1987 calls for a new position for a police officer to
be established as of December 1, 1987. It is the recommendation of
Chief of Police Berthe that James Thielen, who is currently a CSO
with the City be appointed to fill the vacant new position. Mr.
Thielen currently meets all requirements for the position such as
P.O.S.T. licensure and successful completion of the City's physical
and psychological examinations. He has been a Community Service
Officer with the City since April 1, 1987.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the hiring of
James Thielen as a Police Officer for the City of Eagan effective
December 1, 1987.
Item 2. Community Service Officer --If the appointment of James
Thielen as a police officer is approved, there will be a vacancy for
a community service officer. During the summer of 1987, the Police
Department went through an extensive process of interviewing and
screening qualified applicants for entry into the Eagan Police
Department as CSO's. Approximately 65 people applied for the
position. From the 65 applicants, after screening, 18 were
interviewed by Chief of Police Berthe, Captain Aszmann and
Administrative Assistant Duffy. The Police Department did extensive
background checks on nine of the individuals, after which a meeting
was held with Chief of Police Berthe, Captain Aszmann, Captain
Geagan, Administrative Assistant Duffy and all four sergeants to
discuss the qualifications of the applicants. Those personnel
established a ranking of those applicants they considered suitable
for future hiring. It is the recommendation of the aforementioned
personnel that Jay Maher be hired as a Community Service Officer in
the Police Department effective December 1, 1987. As with all
personnel who are recommended for this position, Mr. Maher is
eligible to be licensed by the P.O.S.T. Board as a law enforcement
officer.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the hiring of Jay
Maher as a Community Service Officer for the City of Eagan,
effective December 1, 1987.
Agenda Information Memo,
November 17, 1987, City Council Meeting
APPROVE EXTENDED HOURS OF OPERATION/EAGAN HIGH SCHOOL GRADING
B. Approve Extended Hours of Operation, Eagan High School Grading
Permit #23 -317 --Enclosed on page < is a letter staff received
from the successful bidder for the Eagan High School grading work.
Because of the quickly approaching winter season and the need to
facilitate the construction schedule for this high school site, the
contractor is requesting authorization to extend the normal hours of
operation (7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.) to allow his activities to begin
at 6:00 a.m and run through 11:30 p.m. allowing double shifting
work, Monday through Saturday. Dependent upon the weather, they
feel that they would be able to complete the work in less than the
anticipated four week time frame. The nearest residential property
is on the north side of Diffley Road adjacent to Northview
Elementary School, approximately 300 + feet away. The next closest
residential property is the Northview Meadows Addition to the south
approximately 1,000 feet from the proposed grading operations.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the extended hours
of operation for Eagan High School grading permit #23-317.

Regarding: Extended working hours for the Dakota Hills Middle/Eagan High School
Dear Sir:
On Friday, November 6th, Enebak Construction Company was the low bidder for the
clearing and grading of the Dakota Hills Middle/Eagan High School. Since this
project has a tight time schedule, we are exploring the possibility of working
extended hours to complete the project as early as possible.
The project location is on the North side of Diffley Road, directly west of the
new Braddock Trail. The hours that we would like to work are from 6:00 AM to
11:30 PM, Monday through Saturday. These hours would allow two 8 hour shifts
with a half hour lunch break for each shift and a half hour break between shifts
for fueling and minor adjustments.
According to 'Mr. Ted Rozeboom of Hammel -Green -Abrahamson, Inc. work would
begin around ?november 19, 1987 and I would project these extended hours would
last approximately four weeks.
Please contact me at your earliest convience to discuss this request.
Thank you,

Re: Project 512, Cutter's Ridge Addition
Easement Acquisition/Utility Alignment
Dear Mr. Horne:
At the November 5 public hearing for the above -referenced
project, you expressed concerns regarding the proposed alignment
of the sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer facilities across
your property necessary to service the proposed Cutter's Ridge
Addition to the south. At that meeting, you expressed concern
that no one has approached you regarding the acquisition of the
easements or the best alignment of the utilities in relationship
to your proposed future development of this property.
Subsequently, the City Council continued the public hearing until
November 17, 1987, and requested the developer to review these
concerns with you.
At the City's request, Mr. Mike Gair of Gair & Associates, Inc.,
representing the Cutter's Ridge development, contacted you to try
and schedule a meeting for the early part of this week to review
and discuss your concerns. Also, on November 9, I contacted you
regarding the same issues in trying to schedule a meeting. Based
on your busy schedule, you indicated the earliest you'd be able
to meet would be in January, 1988.
Please be assured that both the developer and the City are more
than willing to meet with you at any time to discuss any concerns
you may have and review the issues associated with this project.
In the interim, the City will proceed with the project as
proposed. However, we will be evaluating different alternatives
to minimize the impact on your future development options in
hopes to minimize the damages that may be associated with
determining the cost for the acquisition of the necessary
easements.

I will pass along to the developer of the Cutter's Ridge Addition
your offer to dedicate the 0.32 acres of permanent easement and
1.0 acre of temporary easements for parcels 010-01 and 05 in
exchange for being relieved of those parcel's related assessment
obligations of $35,073 and $17,689, respectively.
If those parcel's assessment obligations cannot be reduced by the
City and/or assumed by the Cutter's Ridge development, the City
will proceed with the preparation of an appraisal based on our
best alignment subject to your timely input.
While I recognize that this may be a busy time for you and your
business, the decisions being made in the next several months
will be critical to the future development of your property.
Therefore, I encourage you to try and make available the few
hours necessary to ensure this project is completed to the best
interest of all parties concerned. If you are personally
unavailable, I would encourage you to retain the appropriate
personnel to represent your interests during future meetings with
the City and/or developer.
We look forward to working with you in resolving the concerns of
this project and would sincerely appreciate your cooperation in
expediting this process.
Sincerely,
omas A. Colbert, P.E.

P
SCOPE: This project provides for the construction of sanitary sewer, water
main, storm sewer and street to serve Cutter's Ridge. This addition is loca-
ted west of Pilot Knob Road approximately 900' north of Deerwood Drive. Cut-
ter's Ridge consists of 37 single family lots.
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The project is feasible from an engineering
standpoint and is in accordance with the Master utility and Street Plans for
the City of Eagan with the exception of the Water Supply and Distribution
Plan. The comprehensive water plan provides for the 12" trunk water main to
be constructed in an east west direction through Cutter's Ridge connecting to
the trunk main in Pilot Knob Road and Deerwood Drive. However due to recent
development immediately west of I -35E north of Cutters Ridge, it is recom-
mended the 12" trunk main be constructed northerly from Cutters Ridge and
cross I -35E as proposed herein. The 12" trunk main would then continue north-
erly through the proposed Blackhawk Ridge and Stony Point connecting to the
existing 30" trunk main in Hampton Heights. The 12" trunk main will serve as
an additional trunk main serving the future Deerwood reservoir complementing
the trunk mains in Pilot Knob Road and Blackhawk Road which are the main feed-
ers to this reservoir. The project as outlined herein can be best carried out
as one contract.
"TV/TTC O TnXT.
Sanitary Sewer - An 8" diameter sanitary sewer is proposed to be extended from
an existing 8" sanitary sewer constructed beneath I -35E approximately 840'
north of Cutter's Ridge as shown on the attached drawing. The sanitary sewer
will be constructed within an existing utility easement where a trunk sewer
was located prior to construction of I -35E. As part of I -35E construction,
however, the trunk sanitary sewer was located to the westerly side of I -35E
and the existing trunk sewer located on the east side of I -35E was abandoned.
Page 1.
6732e /
Approximately 240' of sanitary sewer is required between the southerly end of
the existing utility easement and Cutter's Ridge which must be acquired as
part of this project. The sanitary sewer will be constructed at a proper ele-
vation to serve Cutter's Ridge and the abutting property. It is assumed util-
ities within Cutter's Ridge will be constructed privately by the developer.
Watermain - A 12" trunk water main is proposed to be constructed northerly
from Cutter's Ridge paralleling the proposed 8" sanitary sewer as shown on the
attached drawing. The 12" trunk main would then be constructed westerly
across I -35E parallel to the existing sanitary sewer. The trunk main will
ultimately continue northerly from this point through Blar_.khawk Ridge and
Stoney Point connecting to the existing 30" trunk main in Hampton Heights.
The 12" trunk main in Cutters Ridge will ultimately continue southerly con-
necting to the trunk main in Deerwood Drive and serve as a trunk main serving
the Deerwood Reservoir. It is assumed utilities within Cutter's Ridge will be
constructed privately by the developer.
Storm Sewer - It is proposed to extend storm sewer from the northwest corner
of Cutter's Ridge as shown on the attached drawing. The storm sewer will be
extended northwesterly approximately 400' to a low area which discharges into
I -35E right-of-way. The storm water in I -35E is conveyed by pipe and open
ditch to Pond JP -5 which has a gravity outlet to the Minnesota River. Mn/DOT
has agreed to allow the storm water in Cutter's Ridge to flow into their storm
sewer system provided the low area outside their right-of-way is maintained as
a ponding area. Storm sewer pipes range in size from 21" to 24" in diameter.
EASEMENTS/PERMIT: Utility easements are required outside the Cutter's Ridge
plat. As previously indicated, the existing utility easement for the aban-
doned trunk sewer is intended to be utilized for the majority of the sanitary
sewer and water main construction. However, additional easement is required

easement which is listed below:

The assessments will be spread over 10 years at an interest rate based upon
the bond sale used to finance this project..
SANITARY SEWER: Sanitary sewer proposed herein is considered lateral. There-
fore, it is proposed to assess the total cost of sanitary sewer on a front
foot basis assuming Parcel 010-01 will be assessed for the front footage abut-
ting the easterly side of the north -south segment while Parcel 010-05 will be
assessed one-half the front footage abutting the westerly side of the north -
south segment. The assessable footage for Cutter's Ridge (Parcel 010-02) and
Parcel 010-06 includes the portion abutting their west and east side respec-
tively. Trunk sanitary sewer was previously assessed in this area as part of
Project No. 88.
WATERMAIN: Water main proposed herein is considered trunk. Therefore it is
proposed to assess the abutting property on a front foot basis in the same
manner as sanitary sewer. However it is proposed to utilize the lateral bene-
fit from trunk rate established in the City of Eagan Fee Schedule for 1987.
Trunk area water main has been previously assessed in this area under Project
Nos. 24_A and 455.
STORM SEWER: Storm sewer proposed herein is considered lateral for the por-
tion abutting Cutter's Ridge and Parcel 010-06. The remaining storm sewer be-
yond these two parcels is considered trunk and is not proposed to be as-
sessed. The amount to be assessed for lateral is determined by dividing the
project cost by the front footage of storm sewer and multiply it by the front
footage abutting Cutter's Ridge and Parcel 010-06. The amount to be assessed
is then divided by the benefitting drainage area in Cutter's Ridge and Parcel
010-06 which benefit from the storm sewer. Trunk area storm sewer was previ-
ously assessed in this area as part of Project No. 247.

Agenda Information Memo,
November 17, 1987, City Council Meeting
LEXINGTON SQUARE DRAINAGE REPORT
B. Lexington Square Drainage Report --As a result of the July 23
"super storm", several areas of the City were identified as
requiring additional detailed investigation into the storm drainage
capabilities. The Lexington Square Addition is the second area to
be discussed in detail. A copy of the draft report entitled
"Lexington Square Storm Drainage System Study" was previously
distributed to the Council prior to the neighborhood meeting of
November 12. Enclosed on pages 7.1 through is a summary of
that report that was distributed t the neighb rhood meeting for
which approximately 217 notices were sent out. The consultant
engineer and Public Works Director will discuss the issues
associated with this report and discuss the various alternatives for
initiating and financing future storm sewer facilities in this
addition. Also, a summary of the neighborhood meeting will be
distributed with the Additional Information packet prior to the
November 17 Council meeting.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To close the public hearing,
receive the draft report (Lexington Square Storm Drainage System
Study) and authorize additional work as may be appropriate.
LEXINGTON SQUARE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM STUDY
This handout is a brief summary of the findings of the investigation into the
performance of the storm drainage system in Lexington Square.
The storm of July 23 caused significant damage in portions of the Lexington
Square Development. The severe intensity of this storm was undoubtedly the
major cause of the problems experienced. However, the problems were serious
enough to warrant special study of the drainage system to determine if there
were any other significant contributing factors.
Four problem areas were identified as a result of the July 23 storm and the
study's attention was directed toward these areas. They are described as fol-
lows:
1. the "SOUTHWEST AREA" (the low point on Gibralter south of Savannah),
2. the "NORTHWEST AREA" (the low point on Gibralter north of Savannah),
3. the "NEWTOWN COURT AREA", and
4. the "LOT 19, BLOCK 1" house basement cave in.
The findings of the study are summarized as follows.
SOUTHWEST AREA: The lack of overland drainage routes and a pipe ca-
pacity constriction contributed to the severity of the storm to cause
the flooding experienced.
NORTH'W'EST AREA: The lack of overland drainage routes and a pipe ca-
pacity constriction contributed to the severity of the storm to cause
the flooding experienced.
NEWTOWN COURT AREA: Plugged sewer pipes contributed to the severity
of the storm to cause the flooding experienced.
LOT 19, BLOCK 1: No evidence could be found that the wall collapse
was caused by a performance problem of the drainage system.
Based upon these findings, the report recommends:
1. No corrective action relative to the Newtown Court Area or the
Lot 19, Block 1 wall collapse.
2. The construction of overland drainage routes in the Northwest
Area.
- 1 -
Lexington Square Handout
Novewmber 12, 1987
Z �%
3. The construction of storm sewer pipe in the Southwest Area for
the two fold purpose of removing a portion of the area runoff
from the drainage basin and to provide a means of conveyance of
the excess storm water runoff (the latter is to substitute for
the emergency overland drainage routes which are not in place).
This neighborhood meeting is for the purpose of exchanging information. The
Council will not officially act on this matter tonight. It is expected that
Council will formally consider this matter at its November 17, meeting. The
report asks the Council to consider action on the following:
1. Assign responsibility for undertaking the corrective action --City
by public contract or Developer by his own forces (This would
apply only to the work that is within the boundary limits of
Lexington Square. The proposed work within Lexington Avenue, if
ordered by Council, would 'have to be constructed under a City
public improvement project.),
2. Order a feasibility report and public hearing to consider the
proposed public improvements,
3. Authorize staff to proceed with preliminary design, especially to
work with Dakota County to coordinate the storm sewer design with
the future road design and the property owners whose property
will be affected by the construction of the proposed improvements.
4. Provide direction concerning the source of financing for the
project.

SUMMARY OF
THE INVESTIGATION OF DRAINAGE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
The elements that comprise the success or failure of a storm drainage system
consist of: (1) operational concerns such as pipe blockages, (2) safe storage
of higher volume storm water runoff (temporary ponding in designated areas),
(3) diversion of excess storm water runoff to temporary ponding areas (emer-
gency overland drainage routes), and (4) the hydraulic capacity of the piping
system.
We inspected the pipe system and found no evidence that blockages impeded the
performance of the system in either the NORTHWEST AREA or the SOUTHWEST AREA.
We did find evidence that blockages by silt and construction debris adversely
affected the performance of the NEWTOWN COURT storm sewer pipe system.
An examination of the site grading found that the overland emergency drainage
routes were not properly in place in either the NORTHWEST AREA or the SOUTH-
WEST AREA. They were in place in the NEWTOWN COURT AREA although some minor
improvements are necessary.
An analysis of the storm sewer pipe capacities indicated that, in our opinion,
the storm sewer pipe system in the NORTHWEST AREA and the SOUTHWEST AREA are
not capable of handling the intensity of storms that is required by the City
and recommended by industry standards. The analysis of the storm sewer pipe
system in the NEWTOWN COURT AREA confirmed the adequate capacity of that seg-
ment of the system.
COMMENT: The design and analysis of storm drainage systems is subject to a
degree of opinion among experts in the field. This is due to the variable
nature of the storm events and the difficulty in evaluating the numerous
variables that must be analyzed in determining runoff amounts. Therefore it
is a subjective science. From our analysis, it is our opinion that the
drainage system is not as conservatively designed as would be desirable.
However, the Developer's engineer has contended that the design of the exist-
ing system is adequate.

VARIANCE/SIENNA CORPORATION FOR SURREY WOODS & BRIDLE RIDGE
A. Variances, Sienna Corporation, Surrey Woods and Bridle Ridge
Additions to allow up to 10' front yard Variances --This item was
first continued from the October 6 to the November 5, 1987 City
Council meeting at the request of the developer. A letter was
received from the Sienna Corporation at the November 5 meeting
requesting that the Public Works Committee review the proposed
Variances on location to allow for a visual inspection of the
proposed hardship by members of the City Council. A meeting was
scheduled for Friday, November 6 at 3:00 p.m., at which time the
Public Works Committee, including City Council members Wachter and
Ellison, met on site and reviewed the Variances as proposed by
Sienna Corporation. The developer, Sienna Corporation, was
originally requesting authorization of a Variance of up to 10' for
each front yard for approximately eighty (80) lots identified in
Block 2, Block 3, and Blocks 7 through 10 of the Bridle Ridge lst
Addition. The Planners Report identified the granting of Variances
on an administrative basis for most of the lots, with the exception
of a 10' front yard Variance specified for Lots 22 through 25 of
Block 7. The Sienna Corporation has argued that the front yard
setback Variance is essential to minimize adverse grading activities
and destruction of existing trees and topography to these four (4)
lots.
The Public Works Committee, assisted by staff from the Planning,
Inspection, and Engineering Departments, specifically reviewed Lots
22 through 25 of Block 7. It was generally agreed that, as a result
of the cul-de-sac dimensions and street elevations that were desired
as a part of the development, these lots would not have as suitable
backyards, with a 30' setback compared to a 20' setback. It was
also agreed that if one 10' setback Variance is granted, all four
(4) lots should be given Variances to maintain a consistent setback
site line as well as minimize the adverse grading activities and
topographic problems. The Public Works Committee did not make a
specific recommendation at the meeting; however, it is suggesting
that the City Council 1) not grant Variances on an administrataive
basis for approximately eighty (80) lots, 2) consider up to a 10'
front yard Variance for Lots 22 through 25 of Block 7, realizing
that any Variance less than 5' will not resolve the problem for the
developer, and 3) consider a maxiiriuw number of possibly five (5)
lots to grant Variances on an administrative basis up to 5' for any
of the lots described in the Planners Report that was included with
the November 5, 1987 packet. The Public Works Committee also made
it clear to both the developer and the representative of the builder
that it is not the City Council's intention to grant Variances and
if an allowance is made on this subdivision, the granting of
Variances on future subdivisions will not be considered. It was
determined by the Public Works Committee that a developer should
make all lots developable at the time of platting so that Variances
are not a factor in the initial construction of homes.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny 10' front
yard Variances for Lots 22 through 25 of Block 7, Bridle Ridge lst
Addition and to grant Variances for a specified number of lots up to
5' as identified in the Planners Report.

APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a
Conditional Use Permit to allow a pylon sign for the 120 -room
Residence Inn Hotel complex located south of Lone Oak Road and just
west of Hwy. 35-E.
Typical pylon sign height restrictions are 27' in height with 125 sf
of signage area per side. The proposed 25' tall interior lighted
sign would contain approximately 132 sf of signage area. Since this
sign is adjacent to a freeway, the Council could deem this project a
'Major Complex' and determine the maximum height and signage area.
Opus Corporation has a 25' maximum height on all signs in the
Eagandale Industrial Park. They also review all signs for
architectural compatibility.
If approved, this Conditional Use Permit shall be subject to the
following conditions:
1. The sign shall be 10' within the property line from the widest
portion of the sign area.
2. The maximum height and area shall be 25' and 132 sf per side.
3. This sign shall be subject to the one time fee of $2.50 sf.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - ARTEAM EAGAN ASSOCIATES
The first public hearing of the evening was convened by Chairman
Hall in regard to the application of Arteam Eagan Associates, for a
conditional use permit to allow a pylon sign for the Residence Inn
Hotel located on Lot 2, Block 1, Eagandale LeMay Lake 2nd Addition,
located in the northwest quarter of Section 10, south of Lone Oak
Road and west of I -35E. Mr. Runkle introduced the application and
indicated that Opus Corporation controlled the sign height at 25
feet, rather than the 27 feet originally requested by the applicant.
He also indicated that the requested sign exceeded Ordinance
standards by 7 feet, but was a standard sign for Residence Inn
hotels.
Mr. Runkle attempted to provide information as to the exact
location pursuant to questions from the Commission. Mr. Voracek
questioned whether, as part of the PD, a Sign Agreement could be
prepared for the entire Planned Development. Mr. Runkle indicated
that could be done but that only a portion was in a PD area.
Krisnik moved, Harrison seconded the motion to recommend
approval of the conditional use permit for a 132 square foot pylon
sign allowing a variance from the 125 square foot requirement, due
to standardization of signs, and subject to the following
conditions:
1. The sign shall be 10 feet within the property line from the
widest portion of the sign area.
2. The maximum height and area shall be 25 feet and 132 square
feet per side.
3. This sign shall be subject to the one time fee of $2.50 per
square feet.
Krisnik, Harrison and Gustafson voted in favor; Voracek and
McCrea voted against; and Hall abstained.
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT EXTENSION — CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL PARK
The second public hearing of the evening convened by Chairman
Hall was in regard to the application of Cedar Cliff Partnership for
an extension of the planned development for Cedar Cliff Commercial
Park Addition, located in the southeast quarter of Section 30, east
of Nicols Road and north of Cliff Road. Mr. Runkle indicated that
because the PD reviews were not completed in 1986, the City missed
the opportunity to consider the renewal of this planned development.
Since other issues were on the agenda, he expressed the opinion that
it was appropriate that the renewal of the PD be first considered.
Mr. Ray Williams was present on behalf of the applicant and
indicated that a three-year renewal effective from the 1985
expiration date would be acceptable.

Advisory Planning Commission at their last regular meeting held on
October 29, 1987 to consider a planned development extension for the
Cedar Cliff Commercial Park Addition located east of Nicols Road and
north of Cliff Road. The APC is recommending approval of the
planned development extension as retroactive from 1985 for three
years.
The Cedar Cliff Commercial Park planned development was originally
approved on January 15, 1980 for a period of five years and has
since expired. At the last planned development review on November
12, 1985, the annual review was approved unanimously by the joint
APC and City Council. However, there was never formal action taken
on the extension and for the length of that extension. The APC is
recommending a three year period which will allow the planned
development to continue through 1988.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a three
year planned development extension for the Cedar Cliff Commercial
park planned development and, further, that action be retroactive to
the 1985 expiration date.

DATE: OCTOBER 22, 1987
SUBJECT: CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL PARK 4TH ADDITION
(PREVIOUS CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL PARK 3RD ADDITION)
On August 25, 1987, this item was denied by the APC and scheduled
for a September City Council meeting. Prior to that meeting, the
applications were withdrawn due to a misunderstanding of the
application requirements and process.
The City Attorney's office reviewed the applications and determined
that they were processed correctly. Therefore, in an effort to
insure proper legal notification prior to going to the Council, this
item was rescheduled for a public hearing at the October 29, 1987
APC meeting.
Staff recommends that the application name be changed from the Cedar
Cliff Commercial Park 3rd Addition to the 4th Addition in order to
keep our filing system in order.

SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a
Planned Development Amendment to allow an automotive service center
on LB (Limited Business) designated land within the Cedar Cliff
Commerical Park P.D. and a Preliminary Plat for the Cedar Cliff
Commercial Park 3rd Addition. This 1.83 acre one lot plat is
located on the north side of Cliff Road between Cliff Drive and
Scott Trail and is currently a portion of Outlot A of the lst
Addition.
Immediately to the north is the Building Block Addition (day care
center). Before any final approvals can occur in that area, the
storm water issue must be resolved. In an effort to do so, the
Building Block Addition will be replatted into the Cedar Cliff
Commercial Park 4th Addition as. Lot 1 and the remaining area to the
northwest will become Outlot A with a drainage and utility easement
for the ponding area. It is anticipated that the Cedar Cliff
Commercial Park 4th Addition will be scheduled for the September APC
meeting. _
SITE-PLAN/CODE CONFORMANCE: This 15,170 SF automotive service
center will have four main tennants: Tires Plus, Lavells Auto Parts
(retail sales only), Muffler Pro and an undetermined user. A single
access from Cliff Drive matching that of the shopping center to the
west will serve this site. All building and parking setbacks meet
code requirements. Sixty-seven exterior parking stalls have been
provided and eighteen are proposed as service bays within the
building (85 total). If a strict 'retail only' sales parking ratio
were used, 101 stalls would be required. At the 30,000 SF Car Care
Center along Pilot Knob Road and Duckwood Drive, 143 stalls were
approved in that site plan. That also included 19 that would be
shared with a proposed restaurant site. Austin Companies is also
proposing a similar 17,000 + SF project in Eden Prairie with 88
stalls. It appears that parking should be sufficient for this
proposal since most uses are short term and the total 'retail only'
space is 5,870 SF. All stalls are 10' wide except for the 26
designated employee only ones on the rear side of the building. The
lot coverage is 19% in a 20% (LB) district.
The building itself will be constructed of face brick, precast
concrete and prefinished aluminum. The proposed main color will
closely resemble the Cedar Cliff Shopping Center -- adding to the
continuity of the Planned'Development. The applicant is aware that
no roof top mechanical equipment shall be visible. The trash will
be contained completely in the building and no exterior storage has
been proposed. The landscape plan works well conceptually - all
sizes and species are acceptable.
The proposed pylon sign is located on the southeast corner of the
site - over 300' from the shopping center sign. The detailed design
has not been completed but all code requirements would be adhered
to.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The proposed auto mall site
occupies Lot 1 of the proposed Cedar Cliff Commercial Park 3rd
Addition. Lot 1 is bounded by Cliff Road on the south, Cliff Drive
on the west, and Scott Trail on the east. The proposed grading plan
generally conforms to the existing grades of Cliff Drive and Scott
Trail.
Drainage along the northerly edge of Lot 1 is proposed to be
provided by a deep swale into which all drainage from Lot 1 and Lot
2 is directed. This drainage swale is shown initially to drain
northwest into a regraded portion of the existing pond.
When the outlet to Pond AP -50 (lying easterly of Scott Trail) is
provided in the future, the drainage from Lot 1 and Lot 2 is
required to be directed east into Pond AP -50. Considering the
elevations proposed for the Building Block Child Daycare Center on
Lot 2 and the auto mall on Lot 1, this alternate is the most
feasible permanent drainage plan for these two lots. The study of
the outlet to Pond AP -50 has considered this eventuality. The
developer shall escrow the necessary funds to provide the required
storm sewer and to fill and relandscape the swale in the future when
the Pond AP -50 outlet is constructed. The storm sewer system which
conveys the water from the drainage swale between Lots 1 and 2 into
the proposed pond on Outlot A will need to be abandoned at that
time.
No grading plan for the ultimate use of Lot 3 is provided. Much of
the existing lower area on Lot 3 and on Outlot A is shown to be
regraded to provide a small but deep detention pond. The bottom
elevation of the pond is proposed at elevation ' 888.0 and the
overflow outlet elevation is proposed at 900.0. (The pond outlet is
connected to the storm sewer system which ultimately discharges into
Pond AP -9.) A pond with a depth of approximately twelve feet below
the outlet is of questionable value for storm water drainage
purposes. It is recommended that the bottom elevation be raised to
approximately two to three feet below the controlled outlet
elevation. This proposed elevation is low enough to receive storm
water temporarily from Lots 1 and 2 and can ultimately serve as a
permanent ponding area for the balance of this site. The dependable
storage volume of this pond is not increased by the proposed greater
depth.
A permanent ponding easement should be provided for the pond and the
maintenance of the pond should remain with the property draining
into it.
No erosion and sediment control plan was submitted as a part of this
application. 0r:
UTILITIES:. The existing sanitary sewer and water lines in Cliff
Drive are of adequate capacity and depth to serve this development.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: The development is proposing to take
access to the site from westerly adjacent Cliff Drive in one
location. Dakota County will be requiring dedication of restricted
access along the entire border with Cliff Road.
Traffic circulation throughout the site can be easily accomplished
for cars and single -axle trucks without encroachment into the
parking stalls. A semitrailer -type unit would not be _able to make
turning maneuvers without encroachment into the parking stall areas.
EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMITS: The proper easements will be
required for the proposed pond, its outlet, and for the future storm
sewer to be constructed in the swale between proposed Lots 1 and 2.
Adequate street rights-of-way have been provided for Cliff Drive and
Scott Trail. Adequate right-of-way is shown to be provided with the
platting to accommodate Cliff Road.
All regulatory agency permits shall be acquired from the appropriate
agency in the proper time frame.
ASSESSMENTS: The parcel proposed for platting as Cedar Cliff
Commercial Park 3rd Addition has been assessed for the following
public utilities at the commercial/industrial rate: sanitary sewer
trunk, water area, storm sewer trunk, sanitary sewer lateral
benefit, water lateral benefit, water area upgrade, and water
lateral benefit.
The proposed parcel will be required to pay its proposed assessment
for trailway along Cliff Road as a condition of final plat approval.
The trailway assessment is identified at the rate of $12.49 per
front foot for the frontage along Cliff Road which is 285.38 front
feet. The rate and the total front footage equate to a total
proposed assessment of $3,564.00.
All final assessment obligations will be calculated on the
quantities and dimensions of the final plat and in accordance with
the rates in effect at the time of the final plat approval.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON STORM WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION:
It is proposed that a storm water detention pond be constructed
within the Cedar Cliff Commercial Park, Third Addition. This
pond is to be designed to contain the storm water run-off from
this 5.75 acre development.
At the present time, all storm water within the 5.75 acres drain
into an existing pond within this proposed development. Also,
storm water from the westerly one half of Scott Trail drains into
a catch basin and into a drainage ditch which discharges into the
pond area.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
An 80 foot, 12 inch diameter storm pipe extends from the storm
sewer main on Cliff Drive to the pond area. The inlet elevation
of_this 12 inch pipe is at 900.0. Storm water is discharged into
the main on Cliff Drive and is eventually discharged into a pond
area, designated AP -9, located on the west side of Nichols Road.
The normal pond elevation of AP -9 is 892.3. The maximum pond
elevation of AP -9 is 898.8.
A street, Scott Trail, is located to the east of this
development. The centerline elevation at the catch basin, at its
lowest elevation, is 902.4. Storm water from the east half of
Scott Trail drains into the drainage ditch within the
development. The west one half of Scott Trail drains into a
catch basin which drains into a pond area designated as AP -50.
The normal elevation of AP -50 is 886.0. The maximum pond
elevation of AP -50 is 894.0. An interceptor storm sewer system
is proposed to the AP -50 pond in the near future to control storm
water run-off from this area.
'6I
ENGINEERS • LAND SURVEYORS • LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN:
It is proposed that a new storage pond be constructed and a
drainage system designed to accommodate storm water run-off in
this development. The 5.75 acre parcel is to be platted into
three lots and one outlot. The three lots are for commercial
development and the outlot is for the storm water detention pond.
The proposed detention pond, when empty; will containea 6 inch
rainfall. However, the inlet of the 12 inch storm sewer pipe is
at elevation 900.0 and has a minimum grade of 0.07%. The
capacity of this 12 inch pipe is approximately 1 cubic feet per
second. In the event the pond is at elevation 900.0, the maximum
storage is 2.0 feet (elevation 900 to 902) or 26,795 cubic feet.
Therefore, a 1-1/4 inch rain will fill this pond to the maximum.
DRAINAGE AND HYDROLOGY INFORMATION:
Area: 5.75 Acres (Use 6 acres)
(261,360 square foot surface area)
Storage Pond Information:
Bottom Elevation: 888.0
Maximum Elevation: 902.0
Storage Capacity:
(Empty) 148,130 cubic feet
Storage Capacity:
Elevation 888 to 990 = 118,335 cubic feet
Elevation 900 to 902= 26,795 cubic feet
12 .inch diameter storm pipe inlet at elevation 900.0 (Cliff
Drive).
Scott Trail street elevation at catch basin inlet 902.0.
SUMMARY:
When the Cedar Cliff Commercial Park, Third Addition is
completed, storm water run-off can be contained and controlled
within the designated areas to a certain extent. However, due to
existing conditions, the maximum effective elevation control is
elevation 902.4. At that elevation, storm water will flow across
Scott Trail, to the east, into Pond AP -50.
When the interceptor storm sewer is extended to AP -50, a storm
sewer should be installed along the lot lines of Lots 1 and 2 and
the storm water diverted into Pond AP -50.

We are writing to you for the purpose of asking for reconsider-
ation on the Cedar Cliff Commercial Park 3rd Addition PUD
Amendement. We have sought the advice of the City Staff and City
Legal Council in regards to the misunderstanding of the applic-
ation for the presentation of the August 2nd meeting. City
Staff and Legal Council advised that the application was, in
fact, presented properly and all public notices sentout timely.
A short history on this project is:
Originally this P.U.D. was allowed office use only within the
commercial development. A proposal was made to the city in
1984 to develop 5.4 acres (SW corner) as a strip shopping
center. It was agreed that the center would not have an exit
onto Scott Trail so as to ease traffic in the neighborhood and
all trash containers would be enclosed. A 6' berm with Black
Hill spruce was built to the northside to help buffer the
residential from the commerical. An office building was built
to the north of the center and other office type uses committed
to the northern corridor. Building Block Day Care center was
proposed to act as a further buffer between residential and
commercial - thereby completing the buffer zone.
The City of Eagan approved this project.

city. They are more than satisfied with
the operation.

We are asking for the Planning Commission to consider the
Auto Plaza as being consistent with the previous amendment
to the PUD allowing the shopping center. We would like to
offer the following points for your consideration of the
merits of this project.
a) Auto Plaza has no entrance off Scott Trail.
b) The height of the Plaza will be consistent with the center
and a 10' berm with landscaping between the Auto Plaza and
Day Care to provide additional site line barrier for the
neighborhood.
c) Construction within the total PUD would be architectually
consistent to be a showcase for the neighborhood and City.
d) Signage will be consistent with the shopping center signage
both free standing and building application.
A neighborhood meeting was held on August 8th at Durnings
Restaurant to further explain the project to concerned neighbors.
No one opposed the project. The only opposition was based on
the way the project was presented. City Staff feels that this
objection was not valid.
Jim Durning & Loren Spande, as long time business men in the
community and neighbors to the project feel it has merit and
should be based on its merits.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Ray:
I wanted to take this opportunity to express our approval
for the auto plaza being developed adjacent to the Building
Block Nursery School. We are optimistic that the auto plaza
will bring many parents by our site. We feel confident that
with a generous landscape plan, the auto plaza will create a
nice buffer between Cliff Road and the daycare.
Good luck on your progress.

CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL PARR 4TH ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT,
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT & CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
The next public hearing called by Chairman Hall was in regard to
the application of Austin Companies for a planned development
amendment, a conditional use permit for a sign, and a preliminary
plat of 1.83 acres for an automotive service center in LB (Limited
Business) designated land within the Cedar Cliff Commercial Park PD
located north of Cliff Road, between Cliff Drive and Scott Trail, in
the southeast quarter of Section 30. Mr. Runkle indicated this
matter had been considered by the Planning Commission at its August
25, 1987 meeting, at which time it recommended denial to the City
Council.
Prior to the City Council hearing, the applicant withdrew the
application, as it had been advised that it was not a proper
application. However, after staff review, it was determined that it
was a proper application and therefore, in order to insure proper
process, it was brought back to the Planning Commission. It was
noted that it appeared to be basically the same application,
although a Petition had been signed by neighboring owners as to
their acceptance of the proposal.
Mr. Ray Williams was present on behalf of the applicant, Austin
Companies, and the owner, Cedar Cliff Commercial Partnership. He
indicated that the day care center to the north would provide a
natural buffer to the duplexes north of that site, and advised that
the proposed design would be consistent with the existing mall to
the west. He also advised that a Petition had been signed by all
but one of the neighbors in the residential area, and all the
tenants in the retail center.
Mr. Jeff Carlstrom was present and described the 15,000 square
foot building,' using the same face brick and facia as the retail,
center. He also described the landscape buffer from the north of 10
feet in height, and uniform signage on the building for the various
tenants.
Mr. Vernon Colon of Federal Land Company was present and
objected to the rezoning, indicating that the rezoning of an LB area
to the east of this area has been denied to Federal Land Company.
Mr. Williams noted that the area to the east was designated R -III on
the Comprehensive Guide, which was not true of the area in question.

APC Minutes
October 29, 1987
Mr. Jim Durning appeared and stated that contrary to previous
applications, this one was accepted by the neighbors. Mr. Mark
Smith of Austin Companies, indicated that the proposed use was less
intensive than an office use, and not like a retail use.
The public hearing was closed. Mr. Runkle advised Chairman Hall
that the application was the same as that provided in August, except
that access was not being provided on Scott Trail. Mr. Foertsch
indicated that the drainage issue had been resolved.
Mr. Colon stated that access would be a problem as a median was
planned in Cliff Road at the access of Cliff Drive. Mr. Foertsch
indicated that a median would cross Scott Trail, but was not aware
of a median in front of Cliff Drive.
Harrison moved, Krisnik seconded the motion to recommend denial
on the basis that the application had been previously denied and
had not changed, other than for the purpose of proper process.
Harrison, Voracek, Krisnik and Hall voted in favor of denial for the
reasons given in the August hearing; McCrea and Gustafson voted no.
LOT 1, BLOCK 2, CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL PARK
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT
The next hearing in regard to the application of Federal Land
Company for a planned development amendment to allow motor fuel
sales on Lot 1, -Block 2, Cedar Cliff Commercial Park, located at the
northeast intersection of Cliff Road and Nicols Road, in the
southeast quarter of Section 30, was then convened by Chairman Hall.
Mr. Runkle described the application which was basically to provide
for gas pumps where previously not allowed. Mr. Vernon Colon was
present and indicated that the previous application had been under
an ordinance that prohibited gas pumps without active service bays.
He advised that the same architectural design would be used as the
existing retail center.
McCrea questioned the existence of the ordinance and the st-a-tus
of the lawsuit in regard to gas pumps. Mr. Keller indicated that
while the Court, to the best of his knowledge, had declared the
existing ordinance unconstitutional, it had not yet been repealed.
He also advised that the Court had found in the City's favor in that
the City did not have to allow gas pumps because it was a condition
of the Development Contract.
Harrison moved, McCrea seconded the motion to recommend denial
on the basis that the Development Contract was in effect and the
conditions thereto were a promise to the public that gas pumps were
not to be provided on the site. All voted in favor, except Voracek
who abstained to avoid any appearance of a potential conflict of
interest.

MEMO TO: DALE C RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
FROM: JIM STURM, PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: OCTOBER 20, 1987
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL PARK
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (80-2)
Federal Land Company has submitted a revised site plan that would
provide for motor fuel sales at the Tom Thumb located at the
northeast intersection of Nicols and Cliff Roads within the Cedar
Cliff Commercial Park Planned Development. The original P.D. was
approved in 1980. The Cedar Cliff Addition, consisting of 13.5
acres for the retail strip center, required a P.D. Amendment and was
approved in July 1984. Condition #1 stated that 'No gas pumps will
be allowed within the plat'.
The applicants have also submitted a petition signed by 31 residents
living on the 27 duplex lots along Scott Trail stating that they are
not opposed to the gas pumps at the proposed location. An updated
abstractor's list from September 1987 was also used by the City to
notify all property owners within 350' of the shopping center lot.
The canopy meets setback requirements and the turning radius' meet
MnDOT standards.
Attached is the site plan, the petition from the neighborhood and a
manufacturer's brochure of the underground storage tanks.
If approved, this Conditional Use Permit shall be subject to the
following conditions:
1. The canopy shall be constructed of the same material and color
of the strip center and no additional signage shall be allowed
on it.
Assessments: The parcels which originally comprised the Cedar Cliff
Commercial Park were fully assessed for utilities and streets, with
the exception of Cliff Road and lateral benefit from storm sewer.
As a condition of the Conditional Use Permit to allow motor fuel
sales on Lot 1, Block 2, Cedar Cliff Commercial Park, the following
assessments are proposed:
Proj. Description Rate Quantity Amount
Future Cliff Road Upgrade $82.97/ff 422.19 ff $35,029
186 Storm Sewer Lateral
Benefit 10.39/ff 663.68 ff 6,896

Fiberglaso Fuel Storage Tanks
to IUM4' For Convenience Stores
Over 40% of the convenience stores in the United
States now sell gasoline, and the percentage is
expected to exceed 70% by 1990. The reason, of
course, is profit potential. The average conve-
nience store can make money pumping self -serve
gas ... and anything that adds to profit deserves
a closer look.
But management must look at more than just
profit possibilities. The cost and performance of
a fuel dispensing installation — of which the tank
will be a major part — must be spread over many
years. That means the tank has to last a long
time. Environmental and legal considerations
abound. A leaky fuel storage tank creates an
immediate health and costly legal hazards.
Owens-Corning Fiberglas@ tanks solve fuel stor-
age problems for convenience stores going into
the gasoline business. Here's how...
Corrosion Resistance
Fiberglas U.L.-listed underground tanks won't
corrode. Unlike corroded steel tanks, which
according to a recent American Petroleum Insti-
tute survey are the major source of underground
leakers, Fiberglas tanks are impervious to the
effects of both internal and external corrosion.
You just bury them and forget them.
And because they prevent leaks due to corrosion,
Fiberglas underground tanks protect you against
potential loss of expensive fuel and eliminate
worries over pollution -related environmental and
legal problems. In over 17 years and many thou-
sands of installations, there has never been a
leak caused by external or internal corrosion with
a Fiberglas underground tank. A 30 -year warranty
against leaks caused by internal or external corro-
FIBERGLAS is a registered trademark of Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. I `
sion demonstrates Owens-Corning's confidence in -
every Fiberglas tank.
Strength and Durability
Properly installed, a Fiberglas underground tank is
strong enough to withstand constant traffic from
the heaviest over -the -road vehicle (H-20 axle
loads — 32,000 pounds). So there's no concern
about leakage caused by accidental damage to
the tank from traffic.
Long Life, Zero Maintenance and
Code Compliance
With Fiberglas underground tanks, corrosion pro-
tection is assured. You don't have to worry about
soil testing and the selection and costly mainte-
nance of a corrosion protection system. Some
steel tank manufacturers are trying different pro-
tective coatings that also need cathodic protec-
tion systems. These must be maintained and
monitored — problems and costs which don't exist
with Fiberglas underground tanks. Thousands of
installations and testing by Owens-Corning indi-
cate that the service life of a Fiberglas tank will
exceed the economic design life of most facilities.
Because their service life is so long, the tanks
can also be dug up, resold, or reused at another
facility. Fiberglas tanks actually appreciate in
value while steel tanks depreciate.
Lower Life Cycle Cost
Add up the savings in maintenance and the far
greater life expectancy, and a Fiberglas under-
ground fuel storage tank delivers a lower per gallon
per day storage cost than any steel tank. And while
there's no way to measure the possible savings
due to the corrosion resistant qualities of the
Fiberglas tanks, you have the peace of mind of
knowing that your gasoline will never leak into the
environment, as it might from a corroded steel
tank whose corrosion protection system failed.
You will never lose either gasoline or convenience
store revenue from having your lot torn up while you
replace a leaking steel tank. Also, since Fiberglas
underground tanks are corrosion resistant, you
won't have to worry about the increasingly
expensive replacement cost of steel tanks.
Wide Range of Sizes
Fiberglas underground tanks are available in
capacities from 550 gallons to 48,000 gallons
... and many sizes in between. The 10,000 and
12,000 gallon sizes are most often used since
they provide adequate storage and allow deliv-
eries in full transport loads which normally
means lowest cost per gallon for your fuel.
Nationwide Availability
Owens-Corning manufacturing facilities in
Huntingdon, PA., Valparaiso, IN., Conroe, TX., and
Bakersfield, CA., plus a stock point in Florida,
assure rapid delivery of Fiberglas tanks to any
part of the country. And don't forget our 24 hour
a day Leaker Hotline (419-248-7000) that can get
a replacement tank to you in just 72 hours.
Fiberglas underground fuel storage tanks from
Owens-Corning. When you're ready to put gaso-
line into your convenience store product mix, put
Fiberglas tanks under your parking lot.

Agenda Information Memo,
November 17, 1987, City Council Meeting
OPT OUT/MTC
A. Consideration to "Opt Out" of the Metropolitan Transit System --
The City of Eagan is an eligible city to "opt out" of the
Metropolitan Transit Commission System. A letter was endorsed by
the City Council and sent to the Regional Transit Board indicating
an intent to opt out. Other communities in the metropolitan area
that are giving consideration to opting out are Apple Valley,
Burnsville, Lilydale, Maple Grove, Medicine Lake, Mendota, Prior
Lake, Rosemount, and Savage.
A meeting held in the City of Rosemount on October 22, 1987 was
attended by Planning Assistant Steve Schwanke and City Administrator
Hedges. Those cities that have elected to opt out and are currently
under contract to the Rapid Transit Board were present and shared
their experiences and comments about their respective transit
systems. Those cities are Shakopee, Plymouth, Eden Prairie,
Chanhassen, and Chaska.
This item is being placed on the City Council agenda in response to
a letter that the City received from the City of Rosemount
suggesting that northern Dakota County cities, including Apple
Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, and Rosemount, consider a joint study to
determine the feasibility of "opt out." Under the current
legislation, all cities that have indicated an intent to opt out
must put together a system proposal prior to July 1, 1988, at which
time there is a sunset provision whereby no future consideration for
opt out can occur. If the City desires to pursue its alternatives
for both community and regional transit, there is some savings if
the Cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, and Rosemount jointly
study the issue. The City is currently expending $592,922 net
property tax to the Regional Transit Board for MTC services. A
study of the transit options would at least indicate whether the
City of Eagan can provide more service to its residents at the same
property tax rate or in the case of a couple communities that have
elected to opt out at a lesser property tax rate. If the study
indicates that service is not an issue and the net property tax will
not generate an adequate savings for the community, then the City
has explored the alternative and can elect to remain as a
participating city in the current MTC regional transit system.
For additional information on this item, refer to a letter from the
City of Rosemount referenced on page_ -) 9� and the chedule of
1986/1987 taxes by opt out communities found on page 0 . A memo
providing background on,"oot out" by Steve Schwanke is enclosed on
�
pages l through If.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny
participation in a joint study to further consider the opt out
alternatives with neighboring communities in Dakota County.

Eagan, MN 55123
Dear Mayor Blomquist:
2875 -145TH ST W.
ROSEMOUNT, MINNESOTA 55068
612--423-4411
The City of Rosemount, along with your city, notified the Regional Transit Board
that they intended to take the opportunity to "opt out" of the Metropolitan
Transit Commission system.
On Thursday, October 22, the City of Rosemount was host to a panel which was
made up of representatives of the Southwest Metro Transit System, and the cities
of Shakopee and Plymouth. The purpose of that panel discussion was to hear
about problems, concerns and benefits of opting out and setting up a local
transit system.
I believe the attitude of the presentors was that the benefits to opting out far
outweigh the hard work and commitment the cities must make to initiate their own
system or some joint effort with other communities. All of the presentors
offered assistance and ideas to us if we choose to proceed.
The City of Rosemount would like to join in with other cities in our area to
look at the options of doing joint studies, possibly hiring a consultant jointly
and working together to make a decision which will jointly offer our residents
more transportation for the dollars being spent now.
By the interest shown by our communities in advising RTB that we intend to opt
out and by the turnout at the panel presentation, I believe there is an
understanding that our cities should pursue this; and I feel it could best be
done through a joint effort.
I would ask that you place this item on your next city council agenda for
discussion. I would further ask that your council consider the idea to meet
with other cities as a group to discuss the joint effort idea and have your
staff contact Stephan Jilk, Rosemount City Administrator, with your decision.
Since the deadline to put together a system proposal is in June of 1988, we feel
we should not delay. I would ask that Mr. Jilk is contacted no later than
November 15.
Thank you for your cooperation in having your council and staff discuss this
matter which I feel can only lead to a benefit for our communities.
Sincerely,
geo,
Leland S. Knutson

MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: PLANNER I SCHWANKE
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 1987
SUBJECT: METROPOLITAN TRANSIT OPT OUT SYSTEM
Per your request, I have prepared this memorandum concerning
existing circumstances regarding the Metropolitan Transit Opt Out
System. This memorandum describes past and existing legislation
concerning this topic, existing transit service and finance
arrangements, and transit activities of adjacent cities. It is
concluded that direction regarding this topic is required from
the City Council because of the opt out sunset provision.
Past and Current Opt Out Legislation.
The 1983 State Legislature passed legislation which allowed
certain communities to provide replacement service to the
existing Metropolitan Transit (MTC) system. This legislation,
now referred to as "Opt Out", allowed communities to reconstruct
MTC service by utilizing 90% of the property tax base collected
within affected jurisdictions. Interested communities had to
convey their interest in writing by the end of 1984. With
respect to Dakota County, the cities of Burnsville, Eagan, Apple
Valley, and Rosemount conveyed their intention to consider this
opt out opportunity at some time in the future.
1987 legislation has placed a sunset provision on the ability to
opt out of the Metropolitan System. This legislation states that
an application for assistance to opt out of the Metropolitan
System must be made by July 1, 1988. If the city is in the
process of completing a "Transportation Evaluation Study" an
additional year (July 1, 1989) is provided for filing an
application for assistance to opt out. Failure to meet either
the July 1, 1988 or 1989 deadline will preclude the City of Eagan
from exercising its ability to consider questions regarding
future transit service.
Existing Transit Service and Finance.
The City of Eagan currently has express route service during the
A.M. and P.M. peak hours under the existing MTC system. It is
anticipated that Metro Mobility will start in January, 1988.
For this service, the City of Eagan paid $574,457 on taxes
collected in 1986. This figure is anticipated to be $592,922 on
taxes collected in 1987. The mill rate for express service
is .125.
Transit Activities of Adiacent Cities.
The cities of Plymouth and Shakopee, and a consortium of cities
referred to as the Southwest Metropolitan Transit Commission have
chosen to exercise the opt out authority. This section briefly
describes services provided by each entity and corresponding
budget.

Metropolitan Transit Opt Out System
November 13, 1987
Page Two
The city of Plymouth contracts with Medicine Lake Lines to
operate the Plymouth Metro Link system which includes commuter
service, reverse community service, and an internal mid-day
circulator. Through these services, the city of Plymouth
provides transit opportunities seven days a week, generally
operating from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The proposed 1988 budget
for the Plymouth system is $433,910.
The city of Shakopee has a combination of dial -a -ride and
commuter van pooling transit services. The commuter van pool
services is operated by Van Pool Services, Incorporated, with
Kare Kabs providing dial -a -ride service. The dial -a -ride service
operates Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The
commuter van pool service operates Monday through Friday during
the A.M. and P.M. peak hours. The 1988 proposed budget for the
city of Shakopee transit system is $216,524.
In December, 1986, the cities of Chaska, Chanhassen, and Eden
Prairie formed a joint powers authority to provide replacement
transit service in their communities via the Southwest
Metropolitan Transit Commission (SWMTC). The fixed route service
is provided through a contract with the Metropolitan Transit
Commission and through a dial -a -ride service contract
administrated by the city of Shakopee. SWMTC service includes
A.M. and P.M. express routes to and from downtown Minneapolis, a
mid-day circulator that serves the cities of Chanhassen and Eden
Prairie and dial -a -ride service in the city of Chaska. The SWMTC
system is currently in its 18 month probationary period and as a
result transit service may be subject to change. The 1988
proposed budget for the SWMTC system is $357,712.
The final section of this memorandum is a presentation of the
"pros and cons" of providing replacement service to the
Metropolitan Transit System (opting out). This is a suggested
list of issues to be considered by the City Council and is by no
means complete.
Pros.
1. Tax Dollars. The City of Eagan is required to contribute
tax dollars via the property tax system for the provision of
a transit system. By opting out the City of Eagan has
complete control of these tax dollars and can spend these
monies within the City. Continued contributions to the
Metropolitan Transit System results in Eagan tax dollars
spent elsewhere for services which may not necessarily meet
the City of Eagan's needs;
In
Metropolitan Transit Opt Out System
November 13, 1987
Page Three
2. Transportation Competitive Edge. By opting out of the
regional transit system the City of Eagan will have a
competitive edge in transportation services. This is
particularly important to some corporate employers who
desire to have responsive transit services that meet
specific needs. This point is evident by the interest of
the Northern Dakota County Chamber of Commerce and other
corporate employers in transit issue;
3. Control of Transit System. The City of Eagan will have
complete control of the transit system in terms of service
and finance structure. This allows the City of Eagan to
react to change and create a service structure that
specifically meets the needs of Eagan residents;
4. Community Identification. Like a high school, like a
community center, and related facilities, a local transit
system helps to build community identification. The transit
service attempts to meet local needs, it is consistently
seen on local streets, and serves as a local institution;
5. Improves Regional Transit S stem. Efficient and effectively
managed local transit systems can serve as an asset to the
Metropolitan Transit System. This occurs when the local
transit system encourages transit ridership and provides an
alternative mode of transportation.
Cons.
1. Policy Decisions. As the policy making body for the City of
Eagan, the City Council will be responsible for making
policy decisions relative to the transit system. In
speaking with the cities of Plymouth and Shakopee, it is not
anticipated that transit issues will require an inordinate
amount of City Council time. However, it is an additional
issue that the City Council will be required to consider;
2. Administrative Time. Depending upon how the City Council
chooses to structure the local transit system, some
administrative time will be required. Again, in talking to
the cities of Plymouth and Shakopee, a great amount of
administrative time is not required. Both cities indicated
that administrative time for one staff person should not
exceed under any circumstances 30%. The amount of staff
time required to address a local transit system is entirely
dependent upon policy decisions made by the City Council.

Metropolitan Transit Opt Out System
November 13, 1987
Page Four
The enclosed memorandum briefly describes circumstances
surrounding the provision of local transit services. The City
Council will need to make a decision relative to consider
replacement services by the July 1, 1988 opt out sunset
legislation. Failure to meet the July 1, 1988 sunset provision
will result in the City of Eagan losing an opportunity to
consider whether to remain within the regional transit system or
to give consideration to providing local transit services.

to discuss a petition submitted by the McKee Addition voicing

Utilization Committee and the Chamber of Commerce airport adequacy
position.
At the October Airport Relations Committee meeting, a petition
signed by approximately 140 residents of the McKee Addition was
presented for consideration. According to Administrative Assistant
Hohenstein, residents of the McKee Addition have requested a
modification of flight tracks and traffic in the area to mitigate
impacts on their homes. In the absence of a quorum, Administrative
Assistant Hohenstein indicated to those petitioners present that
little if anything could be done at the City level to impact tracks
and that the commercial area surrounding McKee Addition made the
general area the most likely to receive aircraft noise. Apparently
residents of the McKee Addition are asking that alternatives be
addressed to mitigate impacts on them or encourage the redevelopment
of the area for commercial uses. A copy of this petition is
enclosed on pages through for your review. As soon as
the Airport Relations Committee minutes are prepared, a copy of the
staff findings and those minutes will be submitted to the Council on
this issue.

Re: Knob Hill of Eagan
Dear Ed:
With regard to our earlier conversations regarding Knob Hill
Development, it is the position of the City of Eagan that your
firm and the homeowners association would be well served to
submit the matters at issue between you to arbitration. This
pertains to all matters except as described below.
With respect to building code violations, you are in receipt of a
letter from our Building Inspections Department regarding certain
improvements to 4168 Knob -Circle. Inspection staff will also be
reviewing several other areas of potential code violation but
have been specifically instructed to concern themselves with code
violations and not quality of construction issues. You are
strongly encouraged to cooperate with inspections in correcting
all difficiencies of which you have been noticed to date and any
subsequent code violations which were subsequently discovered by
City staff. It is the position of staff that actual uniform
building code violations are not superceded by arbitration as
they are health, safety and welfare issues and may not be
surrendered under arbitration. Conversely, the quality of
construction and representation issues between you and the
homeowners may appropriately be decided in that fashion.
In addition, 'tlie City would direct that you would install the
parking stalls along the north side of Knob Circle as requested
by the homeowners. These parking stalls are shown in all site
plans and revised site plans on file with the City and were
matters of consideration for all approvals which you received on
the project.' Therefore, it is imperative that you complete this
improvement at the earliest opportunity.

While the City cannot require the homeowners association or your
firm to undertake arbitration, you have proposed it as a solution
and the homeowners appear to be interested in pursuing it, the
City Council wholeheartedly supports this means of resolution.
If you have any questions in this regard, please let me know. We
expect the code violation and parking issues to be resolved at
your earliest opportunity.

TO: AMM Member Cities
FROM: Vern Peterson, Executive Director
Roger Peterson, Director of Legislative Affairs
RE: A1711 Policy Adoption Meeting and Other Items
1. AMM POLICY ADOPTION MEETING DATE CHANGED TO DECEMBER 3RD:
The day and date for the 1987 AMM Policy Adoption Meeting has been
changed from Wednesday evening, December 2nd, to Thursday evening,
Deceiuber 33rd. (The change is being made so as not to conflict with
a major conference on Natural Resources scheduled for December 2nd
at which Local Officials are the primary target audience.) The AMM
Policy Adoption Meeting is probably the most important annual event
for the AMM and we want to maximize attendance of our member city
officials. Many of the specific details for our meeting have not
been finalized as yet but it will be a dinner meeting at Jax
Restaurant in Minneapolis. In addition to adopting the 1988
Legislative Policy; Steve Keefe, Metropolitan Council Chair, will
be speaking (one of his famous 30 -minute speeches which he delivers
in only 10 minutes!) and we expect other noteables to attend as
well. We apologize for any inconvenience the change in dates may
cause but felt that it was best to do so under the before noted
circumstances and we hope you will mark your calendar for Thursday
evening, December 3rd. A meeting notice detailing the final
arrangements will be made in mid-November.
2. LOBBYING AND LEGISLATIVE ACCOUNTABILITY:
As was noted in our Bulletin of August 14th, the Board of Directors
established a special committee on legislative accountability to
grapple with the problem of legislative responsiveness (or lack
thereof) to the concerns of city officials and the AMM's
legislative program. Originally, the concept was seen as a kind of
a scorecard or tracking system of how Legislators voted on certain
bills and then relaying this information back to their city
officials. The special committee, chaired by Hamline Law Professor
and Golden Valley Councilmember Larry Bakken, has come to the
conclusion that what is really needed to improve "accountability"
q V

is a better internal and external communications system plus alot
more direct involvement of city officials in the AMM's lobbying
efforts. The Board of Directors will be addressing this issue and
committee recommendations at the Board meeting on November 5th.
More information will be forthcoming after that meeting and we do
hope that many of you will be willing to play a more active role in
AMM Lobbying efforts.
GROUP HOME SITING -PEER CONSULTATION SYSTEM-HENNEPIN COUNTY:
As was noted in the special bulletin to Hennepin County AMM member
cities of September 23rd, the AMM at the request of Hennepin County
is helping to set up a volunteer Peer Consultation System. It was
felt that cities dealing with the siting of a group home might feel
more comfortable accepting consultation on practical issues from
another city which had already experienced the process. The AMM's
role in this process was to solicit the "experienced volunteer
consultants" and make their names available to other cities and to
the Community Services Department of Hennepin County. A number of
cities and/or individuals responded to our request and the names of
individuals who have volunteered (or were volunteered?) are as
follows:

Phone # 559-2800
We sincerely thank the above individuals and their cities for
volunteering to help with this sensitive but important matter.
AMM OFFICE TO HAVE SEPARATE TELEPHONE NUMBER:
The AMM, after about 14 years of operation, will soon have its own
telephone number separate from the League of Minnesota Cities
(LMC). Our office will continue to be located on the ist floor of
the LMC Building on University Ave. in St. Paul. Even though we
will have our telephone number, we will still be interconnected
through the LMC switchboard so calls can be transferred between the
two organizations for the convenience of member cities. The new
number is 227-4008 and should be operative prior to November 1st.

TO: Mayors, Manag and Clerks
FROM: Donald A. S1 Executive Director
RE: Regional Meeting Legislative Issues Voting Card Results
Over 1,300 city officials attended the League's 1987 regional meetings.
Meetings where held in Nashwauk, Menahga, Little Falls, Red Wing,
Preston, Owatonna, Marshall, Sleepy Eye, Glenwood/Starbuck, Mora,
Albertville, Red Lake Falls, and Moorhead.
At each regional meeting, city officials were requested to complete a
legislative issues voting card. The voting card asked 23 policy
position questions concerning the subjects discussed in several
issue papers prepared by League staff. The issue papers and voting
cards were mailed to all mayors, managers, and clerks prior to the
regional meetings. Several cities, unable to attend a regional
meetings, mailed in their city's voting card.
After tabulating the voting cards, a report on the results was prepared
for each LMC legislative policy committees. Enclosed is a copy of the
voting results for your review. The committees took these results into
consideration when drafting the 1988 Proposed City Policies and
Priorities. Your position on these issues was of vital importance to
each policy committee wrestling with tough policy questions.
However, your opportunity to participate in the development of the
League's 1988 Policies and Priorities for Legislative Action is not
over. The League's Policy'Adoption Conference is scheduled for
November 18 at the Sheraton Midway Hotel in St. Paul. At the Policy
Adoption Conference, member cities will vote to accept, or propose
changes, to the 1988 legislative policies.
I hope you will attend the Policy Adoption Conference and bring your
city's perspective to the conference. If you plan to attend, please
return the enclosed registration form to Gayle Brodt at the.League
office. There is no registration fee for the conference.

Re: Cable Casts of Eagan Public Meetings
Dear Ron:
Thank you for your correspondence on September 21 regarding
additional cable casts of local government meetings. I have
informed support staff of your intention to begin cable casts of
the Advisory Planning Commission and the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission meetings. Typically, the Advisory Planning
Commission meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month and the
Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission meets on the first
Thursday of the month. Both meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. In
addition, I have prepared the attached memo for distribution to
the respective commission members regarding the cable casts.
The City appreciates the Joint Cable Commisson's desire to become
more involved in the public process by expanding the audience
able to participate in our meetings. Your effort and investment
in this regard serves a valuable public function while utilizing
our local production capabilities.
If you have any questions in this regard, please contact me.
Sincerely yours,
r1l
Thomas L. Hedges
City Administrator

THE LONE OAK TREE. THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
MEMO TO: ALL MEMBERS OF THE ADIVSORY PLANNING COMMISSION
AND ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: OCTOBER 22, 1987
SUBJECT: CABLE CASTS OF COMMISSION MEETINGS
My office has received a request from the Burnsville/Eagan Cable Commission to
allow the cable cast of additional Eagan public meetings including those of
your respective commissions. As this will serve the broader needs of the
community by allowing increased participation in and awareness of discussions
of public issues, it is the City Council's position that we will permit the
cable cast of such meetings.
The Council's specific intent was that the meetings go on as they typically do
and that commission -hired personnel be free to televise the proceedings.
Commissions are not expected to substantially change their conduct of
business, however, certain suggestions are offered to allow the home viewer to
better appreciate the public debate.
1. Remember that viewers at home do not have commission agendas before them
nor are they aware of the action being requested in each case. For that
reason, commission chairs or support staff are requested to clearly read
the business item before the commission as part of the introduction of
each item. In addition, a clear statement of motions or actions will
always serve the audience whether it is present at City Hall or at home.
2. Commission members are asked to use their microphones conscientiously
both for the benefit of the audience at City Hall and at home.
3. It is important that commission members continue to address their
questions and comments to the chair, one another and/or applicants or
speakers rather than addressing the camera or viewing the camera
directly. As was indicated above you are expected to carry out your
business as you typically would whether you were being cable cast or not.
4. One concession you may wish to make to television is that pastel, colored
or patterned clothing tends to be better for television than white
clothing.
5. The brighter lights used during cable casts can be very warm. The City
has installed additional ventilation in the Council Chambers to mitigate
this situatison•but you may wish to consider wearing lighter clothing than
usual to be comfortable under the lights.
If you have any questions about this matter, please contact my office.

FIFTY-FIRST MLC OPERATING COMMITTEE MEETING
Wednesday, November 4, 1987
2:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Messerli & Kramer Board Room
3800 West 80th Street, Bloomington
MINUTES
The Fifty-first MLC Operating Committee Meeting was called to
order by Ken Rosland, MLC Vice Chair.
Members Present: Linda Barton, Burnsville; Dwight Johnson,
Shoreview; Mike McGuire, Maplewood; Tom Hedges, Eagan; Dick
Henneberger, Brooklyn Park; Barry Johnson, Woodbury; Jim Miller,
Minnetonka; John Pidgeon, Bloomington; Doug Reeder, Maple Grove;
Ken Rosland, Edina; Mark Sather, White Bear Lake; Jim Willis,
Plymouth.
Also Present: Mayor Larry Donlin, Minnetonka; Mayor Dan
Guider,Woodbury; Councilmember Don Ramstead, Maple Grove; Bob
Renner, Ross Kramer, and Morli Berge from Messerli & Kramer.
Members Absent: Jim Andre, Roseville; Carl Jullie, Eden Prairie;
Robert Schaefer, Inver Grove Heights.
A motion was made by Willis and seconded by Dwight Johnson to
approve the Minutes from the 50th MLC Operating Committee
Meeting. The motion passed unanimously.
There was no Treasurer's Report.
A motion was made by Willis and seconded by Hedges to approve
payment to the City of Bloomington in the amount of $3,773.54 for
MLC computer time and assistance. The motion passed unanimously.
Renner presented a brief overview of the revisions in the policy
statement drafts made following the October 21st Operating
Committee/Board of Directors meeting. The following statements
were discussed and actions recommended:
1. Fiscal Disparities. The Operating Committee agreed that
the Board of Directors should be presented with the AMM
position on Fiscal Disparities, which includes the
following five points:
1. A phase in of all pre -1971 commercial and
industrial property value at 5% per year over the
.next 20 years.
2. A reduction in the contribution percentage from 40%
to 30%. This would be phased in at 2% per year
over a five-year period.
3. Exempting the value in pre -1979 tax increment
financing districts until the debt is retired.
However, any new C -I value due to new construction
should be subject to the fiscal disparities
formula.
t
4. Exempting the value of all vacant land, regardless
of its zoned classification, from contribution.
5. Equalizing a contribution value at 85%.
2. Income -Based Homestead Credit. Renner was directed to
make some minor revisions which will be completed and made
available prior to the regional breakfast meetings.
3. Mandates. It was decided to delete the sentence using
comparable worth as an example of a legislatively mandated
program.
4. Property Classifications. A new sentence is to be
inserted to read: The new classification system should be
given an opportunity to function for a reasonable period
of time.
5. Assessment Ratios. Renner was directed to rewrite and
clarify this policy statement.
6. Transfer Payments. After a long discussion regarding the
policy on transfer payments, it was decided that this
policy should be revised and stated as a philosophy of the
MLC rather than as a policy.
7. Local Government Aids. It was decided that the statement
regarding a freeze on the total appropriation level should
be deleted from the policy statement and placed in a
statement of philosophy.
8. Homestead Replacement Aid. Renner was directed to develop
a preamble which would include a portion of the HRA
policy. A sentence was added which would give special
consideration for adjustments to cities with large
population growth.
9. Levy Limits. It was decided to limit this policy to the
following statement: Levy limits are an infringement on
local accountability. The MLC strongly urges the
Legislature to repeal levy limits and restore local
government accountability.
Renner was directed to revise the policy statements and send them
to the city managers prior to the regional breakfast meetings in
order to give the mayors, city councilmembers, and managers an
opportunity to review the policies before the meetings.
The regional breakfast meetings were discussed. Due to a
conflict, the November 13 meeting of the Northeast suburbs will
be rescheduled for a later date.
Rosland discussed the progress of the MLC Property Tax Booklet.
He handed out examples of the art work to be included in the
booklet and stated that the booklet will be available to pass out
at the regional breakfast meetings.
I
Renner told the Committee that the two newspaper articles were
included in the meeting packet as a matter of interest. He also
stated that Minneapolis Star Tribune reporter Dennis Cassanno has
been assigned to the suburban beat and will be writing more
articles about the suburbs in the future.
No Public Relations Report was made due to the absence of D.J.
Leary.
Renner introduced Morli Berge, who will be replacing Deb Luebke
as legislative assistant.
The next MLC Operating Committee/Board of Directors Meeting has
been scheduled for Thursday, December 10, 1987, 3 — 6 p.m. It
will be held at the Thunderbird Hotel, 2201 East 78th Street,
Bloomington.
The 51st MLC Operating Committee Meeting was adjourned at 4:30

The Eagan Water Quality Management Plan was broken down into five distinct tasks.
Following is a brief overview of work accomplished in each task and a work
schedule for uncompleted work.
l
I. LAKE INVENTORY
Data describing the physical and chemical characteristics of the lakes in Eagan
have been collected from several different sources. This information has been
entered into a computer data base. A lake classification system has been
preliminarily approved and lakes have been classified accordingly. A summary
report from the SWCD correlating lake quality data with the classification
system is expected to be presented to the City in December.
II. IDENTIFICATION OF EXISTING WATER QUALITY ISSUES AND WATERBODY
CLASSIFICATION
A citizens committee consisting of three Eagan residents, Eagan parks committee
representative, Eagan Public Works Director, Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has been formed to assist
in identifying water quality issues and develop a waterbody classification
system.
A six category waterbody classification system, each with specific chemical and
physical standards, has been approved. All waterbodies in Eagan have been
preliminarily classified by the committee. A map identifying the preliminary
classification of the waterbodies, along with a summary report on the
classification system, is to be presented to the City in December.
III. WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM
A water quality monitoring program has been adopted by the citizens committee.
The program consists of monitoring runoff from five typical land uses in Eagan.
The data collected will be utilized to calibrate a nutrient delivery computer
model. Samples will be collected for four seasonal runoff events. Sampling
will
start with
this
fall
season.
Fish
and LeMay
Lakes
will
be sampled five times beginning after fall turnover
in 1987. Samples will also be collected after spring turnover and in June,
July and August of 1988.
IV. DRAFT WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
The drafting of the management plan is directly related to the water sampling
and nutrient loading computer modeling. We anticipate setting up the computer
model over the winter and having the first run after the summer runoff event
has been collected (mid-June 1988). Based upon this data, we will begin
drafting the management plan.
Positive and negative impacts of the water quality management plan will be
addressed with the assistance of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates. This
task will be completed by September 1, 1988.
V. EVALUATION OF THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUES OF WATERBODY
CLASSIFICATIONS AND THE PROPOSED WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
It is anticipated that a public hearing will be conducted in mid to late
September 1988 to receive comments on the proposed management plan and
classification system. The citizens committee shall recommend to the City
Council a final waterbody classification and a water quality management plan by
December 1, 1988.
The final water quality management plan will include:
1. An outline of the waterbody classification system that has
been adopted by the City of Eagan.
2. A final classification of all waterbodies within the City
of Eagan along with a procedure that may be followed if a
given waterbody classification is disputed.
3. A water quality management plan that will outline practices
that the City of Eagan must follow in order to insure that
the City of Eagan's waterbodies are preserved for their.
intended use.
4. A capital improvement program that will outline the project
and funding needs that City of Eagan must commit to achieve
the goals of the water quality management plan.
5. A yearly water quality monitoring program that will allow
the City of Eagan to evaluate the performance of the
improvements and management techniques prescribed•in the plan.
