Cable/FCC Notice of Inquiry --The Federal Communications Commission has released a notice of inquiry as part of its congressionally mandated comprehensive study on the status of the cable television industry and the impact of the Cable Act of 1984 and cable TV. The inquiry is divided into three (3) sections, the section II, 'local competition and market power" is of primary interest to local franchising authorities. Comments were to be received by the FCC prior to March 1. The concern is that congress may reopen the Cable Act of 1984 and the impact on municipalities could be a greater loss of regulatory authority with respect to cable franchise agreements. Both the cities of Burnsville and Eagan will be addressing this issue at City Council meetings the same evening. For additional information and a discussion on this item, refer to a memo prepared by Cable Coordinator Reardon that includes a survey that was sent to th National League of Cities and other pertinent data enclosed on pages ,� through �. Mike will be present for Department Head Business and then will attend Burnsville City Council meeting to discuss the same issue. Agenda Information Memo February 20, 1990 City Council Meeting DEPARTMENT HEAD BUSINESS CONT'D: AC'T'ION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To direct the Burnsville/Eagan Cable Coordinator to prepare a letter and send official comments on behalf of the Burnsville/ Eagan Cable Commission to the Federal Communications Commission regarding a position by the cities of Burnsville and Eagan about any proposed congressional change of the Cable Act of 1984. WEAGAN C -ko COMMUNICATIONS z. COMMISSION 3830 PILOT KNOB ROAD, PO BOX 21199, EAGAN, MN 55121 612 454.8100 M E M O R A N D U M TO: CITY MANAGER BARTON AND CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES FROM: CABLE COORDINATOR REARDONkk DATE: FEBRUARY 13, 1990 SUBJECT: FCC NOTICE OF INQUIRY - RE: CABLE REGULATION BACKGROUND The Federal Communications Commission has released a Notice of Inquiry as part of its congressionally mandated comprehensive study on the status of the cable television industry and the impact of the Cable Act of 1984 on cable TV. The Inquiry is divided into three sections, with Section II, "Local Competition and Market Power" of primary interest to local franchising authorities. Comments need to be received by the FCC by March 1. DISCUSSION At the recent MACTA Annual Conference, Nick Miller, one of the premier attorneys (Miller & Holbrooke, Washington DC) representing local authorities in matters pertaining to cable television, addressed the opening session. Miller reported that it does look as if Congress will reopen the 1984 Cable Act. _However, he further stated that the lobbying efforts by both the cable and telephone industries have created the impression in Washington that the problem with cable television is not with the operators but with the process, ie: the local franchising authorities. Miller's comments are supported by the following sentence contained in the National League of Cities' reply survey to the FCC, which states, "The organization and text of the questions (contained in the FCC Inquiry) indicates a strong premise at the FCC that cities are the cause of the anti -consumer behavior of cable operators". What can be interpreted from these statements is that the Cities need to be heard during this important process. With this in mind, the Cable Commission, at their February meeting, directed staff to prepare a response to the FCC Inquiry. On Friday, February 9, I received from the NLC a suggested format ,3 for which to submit a reply to the Inquiry. The NLC format, which requests empirical data, addresses the Inquiry, particularly Section II. The NLC has requested that the information be sent to their office, where it will be compiled with information received from other responding local public bodies. The gathered data will then be submitted as a response to the Inquiry, by the NLC to the FCC. The NLC has requested that the information be submitted by February 15 so that their staff has time for compilation. RECOMMENDATION As the format prepared by the NLC addresses the core issues of the Inquiry, with respect to Section II, and as it appears the Cities are in jeopardy of losing perhaps even more of their regulatory authority with respect to the cable franchise, it is staff's recommendation that this information be forwarded to the NLC as soon as possible. Attached is the response that staff has prepared for the NLC. Staff will leave it to each City's discretion as to whether this information requires Council action or merely should be submitted to the Council as informative. As noted, the NLC has asked for the reply by February 15. In addition, it is staff's recommendation that this information be forwarded directly to the FCC, with a cover letter from the City's representative. Staff can prepare the cover letter as necessary. The FCC must have receipt of the Cities' comments by March 1. Finally, it is staff's recommendation that Ann Higgins, lobbyist for the Minnesota League of Cities, be carbon -copied the information sent to the NLC. Higgins will be in Washington, DC in early March and has indicated that she will be willing to meet with our state representatives to discuss the cable concerns of Minnesota cities. I will await your direction regarding these items, and if necessary will make myself available to attend the Council meetings on February 20th. In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding this memo please do not hesitate to call. INFORMATION NEEDED FOR NLC'S REPLY TO FCC NOTICE OF INQUIRY As you may know, the Federal Communications Commission is conducting public inquiry as part of its congressionally -mandated review of the cable television industry since enactment of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984. It is critical that cities respond since public comments will shape the FCC's recommendations to Congress on possible adjustments to the Cable Act, which will define municipal franchising authority well into the next century. The National League of Cities needs your cooperation in helping it prepare a response to issues raised in the inquiry (some of which strike at the heart of a city's power to protect the consumer interes in cable service). By completing and returning the following cable survey, you will enable the League to satisfy the FCC's request for empirical data on whether the cable industry has been unfairly raisin prices, providing poor service, manipulating the carriage of programming and competing unfairly. The FCC Notice of Iny is attached. we would appreciate it if you could return the survey by February 15 so that the League can compile and summarize the data for submission as part of the League's comments. The League must file its comments with the FCC by March 1. MUNICIPAL SURVEY OF CABLE OPERATORS The National League of Cities appreciates your participation in this survey of cable operators. In addition to the requested information, please feel free to provide any additional information that you believe is important for the FCC to consider.

POTENTIAL COMPETITORS A. As indicated on Page 3 of the survey, the cable system in Burnsville/Eagan has faced limited competition from alternative multichannel video programming distributors. Currently, there is only one alternative multichannel system that operates in the cities of Burnsville and Eagan, Peoples' Choice. Peoples' Choice is a 13 channel SMATV operation which operates exclusively in a privately owned mobile home park in Burnsville. Peoples' Choice also operates as a MMDS in the metropolitan area of Minneapolis/St. Paul, on a limited subscriber basis. The wireless service offers only two channels, HBO and the regional sports network, the Midwest Sports Channel. It appears that the alternative system has had little or no impact on the rates or the service quality offered by the cities' franchised operators. B. N/A C. See Item A above. IV. MISCELLANEOUS A. TRANSFER OF CABLE OPERATOR 1) In June, 1986 a consortium, comprised of major cable operators, bought all of the Group W systems nationwide. In the Twin Cities, Cable TV North Central managed the system for the consortium until the transfer of sale was approved by the Cities. 2) On January 1, 1987, Cable TV North Central took over the ownership, operation and management of the former Group W systems in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. There were six systems transferred in the sale, with the Burnsville/Eagan franchise among them. 3) The entire system sold for $56,660,000. There is no break down available for the value/cost of the Burnsville/Eagan franchise. 4) There were approximately 11,700 subscribers in the Burnsville/Eagan franchise at the time of transfer. 5) The following changes in the cable system's operations took place soon after the January transfer: 1) Under the ownership of Group W, each of the six franchising systems had an office which oversaw the management of each individual system's daily operations. Upon the transfer, the six offices were consolidated into one main office of management. What was once a full management staff in the Burnsville/Eagan office, ie: general manager, sales staff, customer services representatives, etc., has now been reduced to a satellite office with one customer service rep employed at the office. /-3 ATTACHMENT C - PAGE 2 2) The Local Origination operations of Group W were also consolidated by Cable TV North Central. Under Group W, each franchise had staff responsible for local origination production. The staff position in Burnsville/Eagan remains, but the job description has been changed to reflect the consolidation. Local origination is now provided for the entire system, not just Burnsville/Eagan. 3) Although, neither an actual decline or elimination of service, Cable TV North Central has requested the Cities assume the responsibility of the operations/management of local access. The franchise clearly delineates this responsibility belongs to the cable company. 6) The rates were adjusted twice in the twelve months following the December/1986 - January/1987 transfer. Basic service increased from $10.95 in December, 1986 to $14.95 in January, 1988. The Super 'Saver package (basic service, remote, and two premium channels) was increased from $29.95 to $33.95. However, premium channels were reduced from $10.95 each to either $9.95 or $8.95 each. The charge for the additional outlet went up $2.00 and then was decreased by $1.00. B. REPOSITIONING/CARRIAGE OF NETWORKS/CHANNELS 1) Broadcast Channels Currently the local broadcast channels that are aired in Minneapolis/ St. Paul metropolitan area are all carried on Cable TV North Central's system and are positioned according to the broadcast channel's number on the system, as long as the company's converter is used by the subscriber. However, if the subscriber has a cable ready TV set and does not use the converter (no charge for converter) the broadcast channels will not appear in their numerical locality, but will be "channel mapped" elsewhere on the dial. 2) Local Regional Sports Network Starting in March, 1989, the Midwest Sports Channel (MSC) came into existence in the Twin Cities area. MSC is owned by Midwest Communications, the parent company also of WCCO, the local CBS affiliate. Currently, MSC is not offered by Cable TV North Central, either on basic service or as a discretionary premium service, even though staff has received more requests for this channel to be carried on the system than all other non -carried channels combined. As the "mix, quality and level" of service has not been altered, according to Cable Act of 1984, the Burnsville/Eagan Cable Commission and their Cities have no legal authority to demand the channel on the system. 3) Local Access Channels ATTACHMENT C - PAGE 3 In the original proposal from Group W, the majority (5) of the local access channels were located between channel 3 (public access) and channel 19 (educational access). Upon transfer of the system, Cable TV North Central realigned numerous channels, including the local access channels. The majority of the local access channels were repositioned into the upper range of channels, with only government access (channel 16) and public access (channel 33) located below channel 50. This was a marked departure from the original concept proposed by Group W. C. LEASED ACCESS 1) The written policy and rate structure for the leased access channels offered by Cable TV North Central for Burnsville and Eagan are outlined in the franchise agreement. The franchise reads, "Group W (Cable TV North Central) has provided 2 leased channels for the Burnsville/Eagan system. As detailed in the offering on Page 3 of 3a, commercial leased access channels costs are $100/hour and noncommercial leased access channel costs are $50/hour. Discounts may be negotiated for long-term usage. These channels will be available on a first-come, first -serve basis. In the event that they ever become filled, Group W Cable has provided reserved channel space which can be activated upon demand". 2) According to Cable TV North Central, there has been a very limited request for, and the use of, the leased access channels. D. FRANCHISING PROCESS The Cities of Burnsville and Eagan, Minnesota would like to respond to the FCC's concerns regarding the current franchising process allowed under the 1984 Cable Act. It would appear, based on the wording of several questions contained in the FCC's December 29th Inquiry, "How Has Deregulation of Cable Television Worked since the Cable Act", that there is the assumption by the FCC that the current franchising process needs to be examined for possible changes. Under the franchise agreement currently in effect in Burnsville and Eagan, only one cable operator is granted a franchise. The Cities, when they originally explored the issue (1982-1983) of how many franchises should be granted, determined that the Cities and their citizens would best be served by one cable operator. The Cities reasons for their decision then, would be the same reasons now, and in fact have been further supported by time. They are two fold. 1-5- ATTACHMENT C - PAGE 4 1) Like the utility companies, cable television is a physical entity that is continuously linked in a cascade fashion, with the provided service emanating from one location and branched out to a multitude of receptors. And, like the utility companies, including telephone, in order for the cable company to provide service to its customers, it must also intrude through the municipality's public right of ways. This intrusion, either through underground or aerial plant, is the only way that cable television can provide its service. And, although cable is not considered to provide the same form of service as the electric or gas utilities, nevertheless, cable, like the telephone, provides a service of life enhancement. (It must be remembered that it was not too long ago that the telephone was looked upon as a luxury and not a necessity). Due to the intrusive nature of cable TV, the Cities determined that it had the same impact on the infrastructure of the cities, and lives of the citizens, as those imposed by the utility companies. It is for this reason, the intrusion of a service through public easements and its impact on individuals, that cable, not unlike other utilities, should be treated the same. And, like other utilities, only one utility company provides a specific service to a neighborhood or community. The impact and the nature of cable television should be recognized as the same. 2) The other concern for the Cities, in regards to having more than one cable company being awarded a franchise, is the concern of economic viability. The Cities recognize that cable TV, especially in Minnesota, has not been accepted by all consumers. (The penetration rate in Minnesota is one of the lowest in the nation). And, with cable television barely reaching the 50% penetration rate in most of the Twin Cities' metropolitan communities, there is no substantial proof that an additional cable operator would provide enough varied services to financially support two competing companies. What this might result in, if another cable company was awarded a franchise, is that eventually only one company would survive financially or that both may just survive. The impact of the demise of one or more companies could eventually result in the cable systems' disrepair, which could create a safety hazard for the public, caused either by abandonment or neglect. In the end, the local authority could be responsible for the maintenance or removal of such a system. The Cities of Burnsville and Eagan, do not wish to find themselves in that situation. Until such time that either cable television's technology changes, or the financial feasibility of cable television overbuilds has been proven, the Cities of Burnsville and Eagan, Minnesota believe that only one cable franchise is the most responsible method of providing cable service to the communities and their citizens.

VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA MINNESOTA 5905 Gciden Valley Road • Minneapolis, MN 55421 • (612)5463242 YESTERDAY...... TODAY...... TOMORROW Volunteers of America has been serving the needs of America for nearly a century, providing over 400 programs in 240 communities across the country. Ser- vices are offered to children and youth, the elderly, families, disabled persons, offenders and ex -offenders, to co-mmunities at large. Since its establishment in 1896, the Volunteers of America has demonstrated an ability to change and grow as our county, its needs, and the needs of the people change. Now, as in the past, the Volunteers of America's programs are designed to respond to the concerns of in- dividual communities, and take a holistic approach to human care. Volunteers of America's continuing mission, to provide material and spiritual assistance to people in need, regardless of race, creed or color. )TSTERDAY Volunteers of America, the first religious social -ser- vice organization founded in the United States, began as a movement of humanitarian service that has lasted over nine decades. On March 8, 1896 Ballington and Maud Booth estab- lished a New York Bowery Mission dedicated to provide material assistance as well as spiritual comfort and guidance. When the Volunteers of America was less than twelve weeks old it had organized program services in Buffalo, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, St. Louis and MINNEAPOLIS. In June 4, 1896 Volunteers of America began their services in Minneapolis by offering food and shelter to homeless men. During those early years food baskets for Thanksgiving Day and Christmas, clothing and toys were distributed. Services were held in the Mission Hall at 9 North Second Street and evangelical open air meetings were offered on street corners. A men's hotel and industrial department opened; and in 1920, Andrick Home at 245 Oak Grove Street was purchased as a girls' home. During the depression years children were brought to summer camp at rented campsites; and in 193 property on Dutch Lake, near Mound, was purchased to serve 200 boys and girls. This property was sold; and in 1954 land, north of Anoka, was given to the Volunteers of America for the site of a year-round program, thus Bar -None began. TODAY As society has changed so has the Volunteers of America. In Minnesota, the Volunteers of America provides services for children and youth, adults and the elderly; and offenders and ex -offenders. Our newest servicea CAN -DO, is a Community and Neighborhood Drug Of- fensive Program.

As a multi -service agency in Minnesota, the Volun- teers of Arnerica offers community programs to in- dividuals of all ages. Its staff is comprised of people who not only have administrative and/or professional social work expertise but who also have a commitment to the Christian mis- sion of the organization, the reaching and uplifting of all people. In addition to nearly 325 staff, last year more than 2,100 persons volunteered their talents to help enrich program services in Minnesota.

This site contains 9 acres immediately west of the similar 1st Addition that received Preliminary Plat approval in June 1987 for 42 units. The original Planned Development Agreement called for a maximum 311 units on the west side of Slater Road. When the single family Oak Cliff Addition was approved in 1984, that number was amended to 231 units. Since then, rezonings and plats reduced the total number of units on Outlots B and C to 135 units on the 22 acres (6.3 units/acre). Oak Cliff Pond Additions will be the final residential areas on the west side of Slater Road to develop with another reduction in units from a possible 135 to 75 - the total number of housing units on the west side of Slater road to 159. SITE PLAN: The existing vegetation consists of mature native hardwood trees and understory plant material. In an effort to save as many trees as possible, the developer will only grade the streets with the typical large earth moving equipment. The lots will then be graded individually with smaller equipment such as a back -hoe. Retaining walls will be constructed if necessary and the building style will match the Site as close as possible. Four building designs will be used - the footprint on the site plan is shown only to demonstrate building setbacks and grading feasibility. All building and parking setbacks meet Code requirements. The 50' buffer area along the Burnsville/Eagan border that was discussed with the 1st Addition has been defined on the 2nd Addition plan. Staff recmmends that temporary fencing be installed prior to any grading through the home building process to eliminate any chance of unnecessary tree loss. The proposed walk trail in that area will be soft surfaced so it can meander between the existing trees. An association will control common areas, exterior building maintenance and trash pick-up. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The proposed site consists of wooded sloping topography with elevation differentials of approximately 70'+/-. The low point (E1. 920) of this site is the normal water level of the easterly adjacent pond designated as Pond AP -10 in the City of Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. The high point of this site is along the westerly property line with an existing elevation of about 990. The proposed grading plan attempts to maintain a 45' to 130' wide buffer along the westerly side of Pond AP -10. The development is proposing to disturb the entire area south of the northerly property line and northerly of the pond. The development is also proposing undisturbed areas along its southerly boundary, adjacent to the single-family Oak Cliff 4th Addition development. Also, the - development is proposing to leave a between the development and residences of the River Woods single icant family residential area in the city of Burnto the The existing has expressed to staff that they're very sympathetic conditions in Oak Cliff Pond 2nd Addition. Their proposed.r adding is basically limited at this time to the grading req to construct the private street system within the development. The applicant has expressed the fact that the individual housing units are to be designed to fit the existing topography of the particular have an opportunity to review lot. As a ertl aff will a grading on a pottbasislthrough the building permit process.e lot Staff has determined that Lot 1, Block 4, as proposed, results in a nonbuildable lot. In addition to the proposed lot being heavily wooded, the lot will require 6-16' of fill plus a retaining wall. The balance of the fill section sloping down to Pond AP -10 exceeds the maximum allowable 3:1 slope. In addition to Lot ,1 lock of exceeding the maximum allowable 3:1 slope criteria, Lots Block 5, along with the proposed slope being constructed as a result of the entrance along the northerly side of the property, result in slopes down to Pond AP -10 in the area of 2:1 instead of the 3:1 maximum allowed. The storm water runoff generated from the proposed site is intercepted by an internal storm sewer system and discharges into Pond AP -10 in four different locations.

The reasons for the delay in proceeding with the final plat application are: 1) the primary tenant that Federal Land Company was working with decided to locate outside of the City of Eagan, and 2) the final dimensions of the building and parking for specific tenants could not be determined until the tenants which would be occupying the building could be identified. Federal Land Company has recently been working with several new prospective tenants which it anticipates will be occupying the building. Since the preliminary plat approval would appreciate your placing this as soon as possible and advising me you. Sincerely yours, Charles R. Bartholdi Legal Department, Attorney CRB/ap I- expires on February 21, 1990, I matter on the City Council Agenda as to the date scheduled. Thank CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: PRELINIHARY PLAT (TOWN CENTRE 100 7TH) APPLICANT: FEDERAL LAND C014PANY LOCATION: OUTLOT A, TOWN CENTRE 100 6TH ADDITION EXISTING ZONING: LB (LIMITED BUSINESS) WITHIN THE TOWN CENTRE 100 PL.AMM DEVELOPMENT DATE OF PUBLIC BEARING: DECEMBER 22, 1988 - JANUARY 24, 1989 DATE OF REPORT: DECEMBER 15, 1988 (REVISED) REPORTED BY: PLANNING AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS APPLICATION SUMMARY An application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary Plat for the Town Centre 100 7th Addition consisting of two lots and an outlot on 19.5 previously -zoned LB (Limited Business) acres within the Town Centre 100 Planned Development. This proposal for a single -story office building is consistent with the Planned Development and no amendments are necessary. The site is located on the south side of Town Centre Drive. EXISTING CONDITIONS/SITE PLAN Adjacent land uses are the previously -approved Waterford Apartments to the east, undeveloped Limited Business land to the west, Community Shopping Center land on the north side of Town Centre Drive, and the Duckwood Estates subdivision and O'Leary Park to the south. This site is primarily open, flat grassland except along the southern property line that falls rapidly towards O'Leary Lake and the park. The edge of the pond is heavily wooded and should not be disturbed if careful grading is practiced. The west side of the lake has single-family homes backing up to it and this site. The existing trees on these lots make a nice buffer. The homes are approximately 20' higher than the closest parking lot elevation. O'Leary Lake is classified as a General Development Lake within the City's Shoreland Ordinance. All building and parking setbacks meet Code requirements. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will also have to complete their review of this project prior to City Council action. The building area will be platted as two lots containing 7.2 acres, with the remaining area a 12.3 -acre outlot. The two lots will allow separate ownership of the 52,400 -square -foot building. A basement level contains 16,000 square feet and will be used as a storage/service area for the tenants only. The site plan was modified at staff's request in order to make the parking area more efficient and to increase setbacks along the southern property line and adjacent to the apartments. All building and parking code requirements have been adhered to. Two hundred seventy-three parking stalls have been provided. A bituminous trail is proposed around the north side of O'Leary Lake that will connect to the trails in the park and eventually to Town Centre Drive. An easement and trail along the east property line are desired by the Parks Department in order to provide this connection. Due to the steep drop towards the lake, the location of the trail will need to be staked in the field to insure site sensitivity. The building itself will be constructed of brick or limestone similar to the Waterview office building. A decorative sign band and parapet will blend in nicely with building elevations. The building and landscaping are integrated well. Staff recommends additional landscape screening near the southern parking lot area. . GRADINGjDRAINAGE EROSION CONTROL: The proposed site was previously rough graded as a part of the Town Centre development, therefore, minimal site grading is required for site development. The preliminary grading plan submitted as a part of this application proposed cut and fill areas ranging from 6' to 12', respectively. The development is proposing to construct three retaining walls along the south side of the proposed building. The development will be required to submit detailed plans and specifications for the proposed retaining wall construction for staff review and approval. The preliminary grading plan shows that no grading will be done below the HWL (high water level) of Pond DP -7 (O'Leary Lake). The revised grading, drainage and erosion control plan submitted to the City on December 2, 1988, meets the City's requirements. The development is proposing to intercept all the internal site generated storm water runoff on the northwest corner of the site and drain it to the City's storm sewer system on Town Centre Drive. The storm sewer on Town Centre Drive has sufficient capacity to handle this runoff. The northeast corner of the site will be drained by a storm sewer line that will connect to an existing 15" storm sewer stub on Town Centre Drive. The existing storm system on Town Centre Drive also drains Town Centre Drive west of O'Leary Lane and conveys this runoff to Pond DP -20. Pond DP -20 has an outlet via the existing 12" storm sewer system that drains southerly through the western side of the site and into Pond DP -7 (O'Leary Lake). The southwest corner of the site is proposed to drain to an internal storm sewer system which will connect to the City's existing 12" storm sewer line. The 12" line drains easterly across the south edge of the site and discharges into Pond DP -7. This existing 12" storm sewer line has sufficient capacity to handle projected runoff. Staff recommends that a storm sewer stub designed to handle a flow of 4 cfs shall be added to the northeast corner of Outlot A. The storm sewer stub shall connect to the existing 18" storm sewer stub off Town Centre Drive. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer of sufficient depth and capacity to serve Lot 1 is readily available in Town Centre Drive. A 610 sanitary sewer service has been provided to the property line. 'The invert elevation of the 6" service stub is an elevation of approximately 897. Therefore, the garage level of the proposed building cannot be served by a gravity line to Town Centre Drive. Sanitary sewer of sufficient depth and capacity to serve Lot 2 and the garage level of the proposed building is readily available along the east property line of the development. trunk sanitary sewer line has been provided with an invert elevation of approximately 872.5. Le 3 Water main service of sufficient capacity and pressure is readily available in Town Centre Drive. Two 6" water main stubs have been provided off the existing 12" water main in Town Centre Drive. The development proposes to take its water main service from the westerly existing water service stub provided. Sufficient fire hydrant protection was provided as a part of the Town Centre development. The preliminary utility plan proposes to serve Lots 1 and 2 with one 6" sanitary sewer service and one 6" water service. Staff recommends that each lot shall have its own sanitary sewer and water service. The development proposes to relocate two existing hydrants because the hydrants are located in proposed driveways. Staff recommends that the development shall add new gate valves on the hydrant leads when the hydrants are relocated. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION TRAILWAYS: Access to the site is taken directly from Town Centre Drive. A proposed 24" wide ingress and a 24" wide egress driveway is proposed in the center of the development. Two other driveways are proposed; one on the east side and another on the west side of the development. Both of these driveways shall be 30' wide with 25' radii. The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission has reviewed the plans for this development. The Commission adopted all seven conditions identified in the enclosed memo from Stephen Sullivan, the City's Park Planner, to the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission. The Commission addressed the pedestrian transportation needs for this development, the visual impact to O'Leary Park, and the developmental impact of water quality to O'Leary Lake. EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS: Cross easements will be required or the proposed parking lot traffic to ensure that each platted parcel has access to public right-of-way. The development will be required to provide appropriate easements for all public utilities constructed outside of public right-of-way which serve more than one potential user. Sufficient right-of-way for Town Centre Drive was provided for with the original platting of the Town Centre 100 development. The development will be required to provide the appropriate ponding easement for Pond DP -7 to incorporate the required high water level and storage volume requirements in accordance with the City of Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. Additional easement will be required for the 20' to 40' deep line existing 12" sanitary sewer which is along the east property of the development. All regulatory agency permits shall be acquired within the appropriate time frame as required by the affected agency. FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS: This proposed development has been previously assessed for all related benefit from the existing infrastructure facility serving this proposed development with the exception of the following current pending assessments: PROJ # ITEM AMOUNT 443 Ponding Easement Acquisition $71,664* 512 SM Street Lighting 15,771* *Pro -rated based on area calculation of this development.

Extension, Preliminary Plat for Autumn Ridge -The Community Development Department has received a request from James Development Company for a one-year preliminary plat extension for the Autumn Ridge Addition. Staff has reviewed this request and is recommending two (2) items that the Council needs to address. Enclosed on pages Y is a copy of a memo from City Planner Sturm detailing these proposed changes. Please note that the second item which is of concern to the Community Development Department concerns the possible change to a road in the plat. if the Council desires to recommend that this be a condition to the approval of the preliminary plat extension, it will be necessary to h public hearing before the Advisory Planning Commission. Also enclosed on pages through ,-far the Council's information are a copy, of the ange, a letter requesting the extension, the City Council site plan showing the potential ch minutes of February 21, 1989, and original staff report. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve, deny or continue a requested one-year preliminary plat extension for the Autumn Ridge Addition. If the City Council wishes to consider a proposed recommendation of the Community Development Department regarding the road extension, it will be necessary to hold a public hearing before the Advisory Planning Commission and to then bring this item back to the City Council at a future Council meeting. MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: JIM STDRM, CITY PLANNER DATE: FEBRUARY 13, 1990 RE: AUTUMN RIDGE ADDITION James Development Company has requested a one-year Preliminary Plat extension for the Autumn Ridge Addition. This subdivision containing 99 lots is located along the east side of Dodd Road and the grade school currently under construction just south of Diffley Road. Through the staff review process, two items need to be addressed with this extension: Financial obligations have been changed to reflect 1990 rates: Description Rate Ouantity Amount San. Sewer Trunk 690/lot 102 $ 70,890 Water Trunk 695/lot 102 70,380 Storm Trunk .056/S.F. 1,293,932 72,449 Total: $213,719 A Condition of Approval required a second ingress/egress to the site. Since the time of approval, a Catholic church has purchased the property to the south along Dodd Road. Rather than leaving the road extension from Autumn Ridge to that property where it is shown on the plat, it may make sense to make the connection where Lot 17 is and create a cul-de-sac on the east edge of the plat. It could allow more flexibility for the church in its development planning stage. However, if this change was required, a public hearing before the Advisory Planning Commission would be necessary. Attached is a copy of the site plan showing this potential change, a letter requesting the extension, the City Council minutes of February 21, 1989, and the original staff report.

LOCATION: 9 1/2 SECTION 25 EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 26,.1989 DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 20, 1989 REPORTED BY: PLANNING s ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT'S APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted requesting a Rezoning of 38.6 (Ag) Agricultural acres to an R-1 (Single Family) district consisting of 99 lots and a Preliminary Plat for the Autumn Ridge Addition located along the east side of Dodd Road just south of County Road 30. The plat contains 49.3 total acres. The single family lot area is 38.6 acres and the residual land will remain agriculturally zoned and platted as an Outlot. The Outlot will be transferred to School District 196 for an elementary school. This application for single family development is in comformance with the City's most recent Land Use Plan that designates the area D -II Mixed Residential (0-6 units/acre). EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site consists primarily of open grassland with a few scattered tree stands. Revised grading plans are more sensitive to the trees and every attempt to save as many as possible should be made since there are so few. Adjacent land uses are undeveloped agricultural land to the north, agricultural parcels and two homes to the east that receive their access onto Highway 3, the 200' wide NSP 'highline' easement to the south, and agricultural land to the west, part of which will be developed by School District 196. SITE PLAN/CODE CONFORMANCE Access to the Autumn Ridge Addition will be through land to the north owned by Robert Engstrom Companies and School District 196. This project required a lot of cooperation and coordination between those two parties and the applicant. A conceptual site plan for the Engstrom parcel was necessary to ensure that the two residential areas would be compatible. The access road onto Dodd Road is directly across from Hackmore Drive and as proposed, a small area of R.O.W. must be acquired from the property owner to the north. The City Code requirement of 150' offset intersections would adversely affect the property owner to the north, awell the from Hackmoze Drive.if the connection is not made directly across W :% street connection has been provided to the south in order to tie into the Lakeside Estates Addition. This secondary outlet (possibility) is desirable for fire/police protection, as well as neighborhood continuity. If possible, the temporary cul-de-sac should be shifted to the south on NSP property to eliminate an outlot and an additional final plat in the future. The project is scheduled to be built in three phases: Phase 1 - Spring 1989, Phase 2 - Fall 1989, and Phase 3 - Spring 1990. NOTE: The City has received applications for a Preliminary Plat and Rezoning for the school property which will be scheduled for the February APC meeting. A major concern of the school district is the status of Dodd Road. "Does it need to be improved?" If "Yes", they feel it is imperative to have it completed prior to the opening of school in 1990. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The preliminary grading plan submitted as a part of th s application proposes cuts and fills that range up to approximately 12 to 18 feet, respectively. The majority of the fill areas are in the back half of the proposed lots and create walkout building sites. The development proposes to drain approximately the south 40% of the site to the southwest into Pond LP -48. Pond LP -48 is a designated ponding area in the City Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan and is of adequate size to accommodate the runoff generated from this drainage area and is outletted to the southeast by toe means of a 12" storm sewer pipe. The northwesterly poi the proposed plat is proposed to drain north and west into the proposed pond on the elementary school property. The outlet et direction for this proposed pond located on school property proposed to drain northeasterly to Pond JP -26 located within the Country Hollow development north of Diffley Road. ly ge rea is be The alternativethe southhis acrosstschoolrpr pertyaandato drainingint to outletted too Pond LP -48. The northeast area of this proposed development drains north and eventually will tie into future storm sewer proposed for the northerly adjacent development. The storm sewer will continue north across Diffley Road and into Pond JP -26. The Pond LP -48 is a ponding area identified in the City of Eagan Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan and all storm sewer outlets, elevation and alignment are subject to further review and comment by the Parks Department. A preliminary erosion and sediment control plan was submitted as a part of this application. UTILITIES: Phase one sanitary sewer is proposed to drain southerly to the existing sanitary sewer in Atlantic Hills Drive. A connection to this sewer line would mean constructing a sewer line through Lakeside Park. The northwesterly area of the Proposed plat is proposed to drain northeasterly across Diffley Road and to the sanitary sever lift station located within the Country Hollow development. The alternative for this area is to drain west through the elementary school property then south to the existing 12" stub at the intersection of Dodd Road and ldt�oued Meadow Road. The northeasterly area of this proposed p drain north across Diffley Road ry and to the sanitary sewer lift station located withi Watermain service of sufficient size and pressure is available in Dodd Road which lies westerly of this proposed development.It drool is proposed to loop a watermain through the elementary the proposed development for future property and tie into extension easterly and northerly to Diffley Road. 'qo STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Public street access to the proposed site is presently not available from Dodd Road and future access will need to be obtained through the adjacent property to the north and west. The development proposes to extend public street access to its boundaries in acceptable locations. No direct access is being proposed to S.T.H. 3. EASEMENTS/RIGHTS-or-WAY/PERMITS: Easements of adequate width will be required on all storm sewer, sanitary sewer and watermain lines that are constructed in areas outside of public right-of- way. The depths and number of parallel utility lines will determine the required easement widths. This development shall be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits are acquired in the appropriate time frame as required by the affected agency.

Preliminary Plat, Joseph Connolly Addition, Consisting of Two Lots on 20.6 Previously Zoned P (Public Facility) Acres for a Water Treatment Plant and a Park Located at the Northeast Intersection of Pilot Knob Road and Cliff Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 27--A public hearing was held by the Advisory Planning Commission at their last regular meeting held on January 23, 1990 to consider a preliminary plat application for Joseph Connolly Addition. The APC is recommending approval. For additional information on this item, refer to a copy of a report prepared by the Department of Community Development enclosed on pages through For a copy of the APC action, refer to pages through. There was no action required of the ARPC on this item. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a preliminary plat entitled Joseph Connolly Addition. SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT JOSEPH CONNOLLY ADDITION APPLICANT: CITY OF RAGAN LOCATION: NE CORNER OF PILOT KNOB ROAD AND CLIFF ROAD EXISTING ZONING: PF (PUBLIC FACILITY) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 23, 1990 DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 17, 1990 COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: The City of Eagan is currently platting the property located in the NE corner of Cliff Road and Pilot Knob Road for the purpose of constructing a water treatment facility. BACKGROUND: Fifteen years ago, the City of Eagan purchased approximately 20.5 acres north of Cliff Road and east of Pilot Knob Road to Dunberry Lane. The continued growth of the City has necessitated the construction of a second water treatment facility to serve the southern half of the -community. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL: The proposal includes plans for a filter building and garage, buried clearwells and buried backwash tanks. There is an existing house located on the corner of Pilot Knob Road and Cliff Road which will be removed for construction of the new facility. A small pumphouse will be located directly north of the new principal building. The building will be constructed of brown brick and have buff, blue and terracotta accents in similar fashion to City Hall's building. The building was designed so as not to look monolistic, but to create an appealing public facility. The single story garage will have four service bays for trucks to unload the necessary chemicals and for use by City employees. The garage bays will not be visible by traffic from Pilot Knob Road or Cliff Road. The retaining walls will be painted to match the brown brick. The design of the building is intended to incorporate and preserve the site features, as well as enhance this necessary public facility. The northeast view is the only view where the full three levels of the structure are visible. The building will basically look single story from Pilot Knob and Cliff Roads. The. landscape plan indicates the use of pin oaks, white pines, russian olives, and red splendor crab trees. The circular plaza will have benches, a flagpole, and a drinking fountain. The plaza will be located directly above the clearwell. The operation,of the plant is "clear" there is no smoke generated or sound from the building. On Thursday, January 11, 1990, a neighborhood meeting was held to discuss the plat. Nine residents from eight properties were in attendance, (notice was sent to property owners within 3501). The residents were concerned with the volume of traffic associated with this facility, the types of noise generated, the degree of hazard with regard to the chemicals, and the intensity of lighting that would be necessary for the plant. The neighbors toured the existing water treatment facility located on Coachman Road and Yankee Doodle Road after the neighborhood meeting. QRADING/DRAInGIVIROSION +CONML_ The grading operations necessary to construct the Water Treatment Plant Facility will require cuts of up to 30' below the finished elevation of the intersection and Pilot Knob and Cliff Road. There is an existing 30" storm sewer running in the area of the proposed filter building and garage. This storm sewer system will be rerouted as a part of the Water Treatment Plant construction. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient depth and capacity was provided to the proposed site from the utility construction in the ChesMar 1st Addition. The raw water supply to the proposed Water Treatment Plant was constructed as a part of the upgrade of Pilot Knob Road. The connection of the Water Treatment Plant to the treated water supply system was also provided. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION e. Access to the proposed Water Treatment Plant Facility was provided with the upgrade of Pilot Knob Road. The Water Treatment Plant plans to take its access from the existing bituminous access street constructed to serve the existing ice arena and the existing pump house on this site. With the upgrade of Pilot Knob and Cliff Road, the realignment of ChesMar Drive to align with Fairway Hills Drive was completed. There is no reconstruction plan for the existing bituminous drive which serves the well booster station and water reservoir on Lot 1 as a part of the Water Treatment Plant Facility construction. zks wTS/AIc=6-OI►-RAYII!ERKITB; A 60' right-of-way is being dedicated with the platting of the property for the realignment area of ChesMar Drive. A 60' half right-of-way is being provided for Cliff Road adjacent to Lot 1, Block 2. A 75' half right-of-way is being provided for the remainder of Cliff Road frontage adjacent to Lot 1, Block 1, and the portion of Pilot Knob Road which is southerly of Lakeside Drive. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - JOSEPH CONNOLLY ADDITION: 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 connections proposed to be made to the City's utility system based on the submitted plans.

Agenda Information Memo February 20, 1990, City Council Meeting DESIGN STUDY REPORT CLIFF ROAD WATER TREATMENT PLANT D. Project 548, Design Study Report For Cliff Road Water Treatment Plant --In accordance with the various comprehensive water supply, storage and distribution plans for the City, and based on the rate of growth experienced by the City of Eagan, the staff recommended consideration by the City Council for the construction of a second water treatment facility for the removal of iron and manganese from our drinking water supply to be located in our south well field near the intersections of Cliff and Pilot Knob Roads. Consequently, the Council authorized the selection of a consulting engineering firm through a formal Request For Proposal (RFP) process which was completed in September of 1989. Subsequently, the firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, Inc., was selected to prepare the Design Study Report for this proposed facility. This report has now been completed and is being presented to the City Council under separate cover for their information and consideration of authorizing the construction of this much needed facility. Enclosed on page /_-'13 is a condensed Executive Summary of this facility which will be similar to the existing water treatment facility located on Coachman Road. While the existing Coachman Road Facility is planned to be expanded to meet Eagan's future growth, the proposed Cliff Road Treatment Facility is sized for its ultimate capacity to meet both current and the projected future demands in the southern portion of the community. Enclosed on pages throughL�� is a report prepared by the Director of Finance discussing various financing alternatives available for this facility. The Public Works Director and representatives of the consulting engineering firm will also be available to present preliminary architectural renderings of what the proposed facility might look like at this location. Also included with this design study report are different alternates of landscaping associated with the integration of a public plaza located on top of the buried 2 million gallon water reservoir associated with this facility. Because the project has not officially been approved yet, preparation of detailed plans and specifications have not begun. Before this occurs, the staff and consultant would like to receive some direction as to what extent the plaza should be incorporated with this project so that detailed plans could be prepared accordingly. If this project is approved by Council action, preparation of detailed plans and specifications for the entire facility would begin immediately in hopes that construction could start by the end of May with completion estimated by November of 1991. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the Design Study Report and approve the construction of Project 548 (Cliff Road Water Treatment Plant Facility) and authorize the preparation of detailed plans and specifications. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CLIFF ROAD WATER TREATMENT FACILITY EAGAN, MN PROJECT NO. 548 CONTRACT NO. 89-13 The South Well Field in Eagan has been expanded by six wells in the last two years to meet increasing water demands. As the South Well Field becomes functionally similar to the North Well Field, a second water treatment facil- ity in the southern portion of the City becomes necessary. The recommendation of the distribution system comprehensive plan was to construct a second treat- ment facility to serve the South Well Field. The proposed Cliff Road Water Treatment Facility is designed to treat water from the South Well Field when it is fully developed. The ultimate well field capacity, and treatment capacity, is 16.3 million gallons per day. The facility will provide iron and manganese removal, disinfection, fluoridation, and storage similar to the Coachman Road facility. The facility will not only provide optimum water treatment, but will be practical, efficient, and attractive in layout and external appearance. Dur- ing the planning study for the Report, attention was given to utilizing the large area above the clear well as public plaza architecturally coordinated to the external appearance of the building. The estimated construction cost of the facility is $6.8 million. Other features of the project include: MEMO * 3 garage bays for vehicle storage * 2 MG clear well for storage of treated water * Ability to select time -of -day pumping in order to best utilize periods of favorable electrical rates. * Provision for adding air -stripping or carbon treatment in the future to accommodate water quality or drinking water standards changes. * Provision for 'automatic' facility operation, in which treatment sequences are controlled by time clocks and level sensing probes, and 'manual' override, in which City personnel select operating functions. (�_3 MEMO TO: DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS COLBERT FROM: FINANCE DIRECTOR/CITY CLERK VA.NOVERBZXE DATE: FEBRUARY 15, 1990 SUBJECT: CLIFF ROAD WATER TRBATXZVT FACILITY FIM WCING At your request we have begun a review of financing alternatives for the above -referenced project. The financing of this project dovetails into the construction and financing of the original treatment plant and will attempt to allow for the financing of the projected expansion of the original plant in approximately 10 years. The following is a chronological recap which brings us to the current financial position. In 1974 the City began collecting a surcharge of $2.75 per account, per quarter, or $11.00 per year plus an amount per thousand gallons of water sold to generate an additional $13.00 per year. The total surcharge was, therefore, to be $24.00 per year for the average customer with large volume users paying more and small volume users paying less. The surcharge was enacted to provide debt service support when the first plant was constructed and water sales could not provide for total debt service without unreasonably high rates. The surcharge has generated $2,417,730 to December 31, 1989. In 1983 the City sold $5,500,000 of general obligation revenue bonds to finance the construction of the treatment plant. This amount was intended to pay for all construction and none of the surcharge collections were committed to paying for construction. Because of favorable bids and utilization of interest earnings on unspent bond proceeds there was a balance of $1,400,530 of unspent bond proceeds which subsequently earned $268,136 of interest. Total principal and interest payments made through 1989 equal $3,734,847, and the current outstanding principal balance is $4,900,000. Net interest cost on the bond issue is 9.19$. In 1985 a debt service component was added to the utility rates charged to all users. That rate has been $.069 per thousand gallons part of the time and is currently $.062 per thousand gallons. This charge has generated $616,412. Also in 1985 a treatment plant connection charge was implemented. This charge was intended to require new users to catch up to users that had been paying the $24 per year surcharge and is a fairness or equity issue. The 1990 connection fee is $252. The total dollars raised through December 31, 1989, is $1,632,417. Interest earnings accumulated on cash balances total $1,899,647. In 1989 certain costs totaling $2,340 were charged against this revenue source. Therefore, in summary, the current financial position is as follows: Sources: Uses: Surcharge Unexpended Bond Proceeds Interest on Unexpended Bond Proceeds Debt Service Rate Connection Charge Interest Earnings TOTXL Debt Service Preliminary Work TOTAL December 31, at Well site 1969, Balance $2,417,730 1,400,530 268,136 616,412 1,632,417 1,899.647 $8,234,871 (3,734,847) (2.340) (3,737.187) $4.497,685 I have asked Dave MacGillivray of Springsted to incorporate this current financial position, a present construction requirement of $7,900,000 (includes some special assessments), an expected construction requirement of $6,720,000 in 2000, and the previously used projections for connections and useage into various sensitivity analyses for subsequent review. Parameters incorporated into his study include: 1. There can be no periods at which time debt service requirements cannot be met from dedicated revenues. 2. There can be no large (shock) increases to the debt service component of user rates. 3. When revenues are matched against debt service payments and construction costs, there should be a balance of 0 in the year 2020, which assumes completion of the City's treatment requirement. 4. No past, current or future user should pay a disproportionate share for the construction of treatment facilities. 5. Any proposed bond sale must clearly define the implications of the present tax law requiring arbitrage rebate. It is my expectation that a recommendation will be forthcoming to sell new bonds to finance the additional construction and to refund the bonds which are currently outstanding because of their relatively high interest rate. The appropriate use of the current lad cash balance and arbitrage regulations will impact this recommendation. I do not foresee any problem in financing this construction within the aforementioned parameters. The challenge is to put the best possible package together. Please let me know if you would like any additional information or if you would like to discuss this matter in more detail, otherwise I will review the recommendation with you upon receipt from Springsted.

The first amendment adds number (6) in subdivision 2 of the section 10.12 of the City Code. The second ordinance amendment adds section 6.43 which is the licensing provision to the City Code. It is my understanding that it has been difficult to enforce appropriate standards in pet shops without any licensing provisions. In the event these ordinances are approved I would recommend that a licensing fee of $50.00 annually be established with provision to pro -rate on a monthly basis. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to discuss this matter in more detail. U0 Fina a Director/City Clerk Attachments EJV/j eh .

The applicant has retained BRW, Inc. as its on-site traffic consultant, and the City's traffic consultant, Short, Elliot, Hendrickson (SEH), has responded to the site plan submitted by Tri -land (see attachment). EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is open grassland, void of any significant vegetation. Adjacent land uses are undeveloped single- family land to the east, most of which was down -zoned from a CSC designation in the past couple of years, PF (public facilities) districts that include a church site, Northview Elementary School, and the -high school on the north side of Diffley Road, and the recently rezoned area from R-4 (multiple) to City Park on the west side of Lexington Avenue. That rezoning eliminated over 700 multi- family units. The north/south high line separates the Planned Development zoning from the single-family zoning all the way from Diffley Road to the east/west high line trail and Wedgewood Park to the south. A bike trail will be constructed in that area. The approved Planned Development in 1975 allowed 170 acres of commercial development in this area and it has been reduced to the remaining 88 acres including the area south of Lexington Pointe Parkway. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT/SITE PLAN: The approved Planned Development calls for a retail mall consisting of approximately 95,000 square l�� feet with primary access onto Diffley Road. For comparison purposes, Town Centre Shoppes at the corner of Denmark Avenue and Town Centre Drive contains approximately 70,000 square feet. The major anchor will be a small grocery store consisting of 28,000 square feet, similar to a Lund's or a Byerly's. All trash and recycling areas should be contained within the building. As proposed, all setback and parking requirements meet code requirements. The ice arena would consist of approximately 75,000 square feet and be constructed of the same materials as the retail center. Two thousand eight hundred seats are proposed and the second sheet of ice would be outdoors at this time, to be enclosed at a later date. Between those ice areas would be the area lobby and locker room area. This area may also bridge to the future YMCA site to the south. That building is being proposed at 27,500 square feet. The arena, retail area, and theater would be constructed in the near future, with YMCA construction in the next three to five years. The YMCA building would also be constructed from the same materials as the ice arena and retail area. It will feature an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, an outdoor tot pool, and gymnasium and workout facilities. The theater is proposed to contain 1,400 seats and since the original submission, the building has been attached directly to the end of the mall. Five or six screens are anticipated and the facility would be similar in scale to the theater in Apple Valley, just east of Cedar Avenue and north of County Road 42. The remaining outlots fronting on Diffley Road are approximately an acre in size and would be designated for restaurant, entertainment, or day-care use. The one along Lexington Avenue may be used for automobile -related use, such as a car wash or gas station. Due to the specific nature of the uses with the Planned Development as opposed to strict retail use, there are discrepancies in the amount of parking required and what is shown. Peak use times and dual use trips are important factors in weighing whether or not the amount satisfies code requirements and intent. More importantly though, having adequate parking to serve the needs of the tenants and users is staff's major concern. Both traffic consultants will need to resolve this question and either staff or the City's consultant will be able to answer specific questions at the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council meetings. The Planned Development required that an overall landscape plan be prepared that insures cohesiveness of the site. Detailed and final plans will have to be prepared prior to the final plat submissions. A comprehensive pylon sign plan was also a requirement of the Planned Development and all of the lots and outlots of this plat will need to conform to those requirements. GRADINGGRADINGZ DRAINAG EROSIO O ROL: The proposed conceptual preliminary grading plan that was submitted with this application shows no significant impact on the existing topography of the site. The preliminary grading plan shows cut and fill areas ranging from 2' to 11'+/- throughout this site. The storm water runoff from the proposed development is divided basically into two drainage districts. The area between the proposed retail strip center and Diffley Road is designated to flow easterly into the existing storm sewer system in Daniel Drive. The area southerly of the proposed strip retail center and northerly of proposed Lexington Pointe Parkway is designated to flow easterly and southeasterly into Pond JP -50. Pond JP -50 is a designated ponding area in the City's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. Requirements relative to grading, drainage, erosion/sediment control, storm water ponding and water quality concerns will be addressed at the time of the technical review of the preliminary plat. No erosion and sediment control plan was submitted with the preliminary plat other than the location of a silt fence around the perimeter of the entire site. WATER RESOURCES: The proposed development is located within Watershed District J. The main water resource concern is the impact this development will have on the downstream water quality of McCarthy Lake and Fish Lake. At the time of the preparation of this report, a detailed water quality analysis of the storm water runoff had not been completed. The development is required to limit the nutrient loading to the downstream waterbodies to predevelopment levels. UTILITIES: The conceptual utility plan as submitted with this application does not provide sufficient detail to warrant anymore than conceptual comments relative to sanitary sewer and water service. Sanitary sewer service of sufficient depth and capacity is readily available for lateral connection in Lexington Avenue and Daniel Drive. A lateral sanitary sewer extension is required from Patrick Road easterly through the proposed retail strip center site to serve the outlots adjacent to Diffley Road as well as the proposed retail strip center. A sanitary sewer extension along the proposed Lexington Pointe Parkway is also required to serve the areas between the proposed retail strip center and Lexington Pointe Parkway as well as the area southerly of Lexington Pointe Parkway. Water main of sufficient capacity is readily available to serve this development on the west, north and east sides. The City's Water Supply & Distribution Plan shows a trunk water main extension from the existing 12" water main in Patrick Road to be extended easterly through this site with a connection to the existing 12" trunk water main installed in Daniel Drive. The Water Supply & Distribution Plan also calls for a 12" water main extension from the existing water main in Patrick Road southerly to Lexington Pointe Parkway and then westerly to the existing trunk water main in Lexington Avenue. The Water Supply & Distribution Plan designates that an 8" water main be extended from the 12" water main in proposed Lexington Pointe Parkway easterly to the existing 8" water main installed with the Lexington Pointe developments. gTR T8 AgCX9S/CIRCMTJON: Public street access to the proposed development is provided from Lexington Avenue and Patrick Road on the west, Diffley Road on the north, Daniel Drive at the northeast corner of the site and proposed Lexington Pointe Parkway along its southerly boundary. The City's traffic consultant has reviewed the overall site plan's internal traffic circulation patterns as well as the potential impact on the existing roadway system. See the attached memorandums from the City's traffic consultant, Short, Elliott, Hendrickson, Inc., for their review and comment. With the development, Lexington Pointe Parkway's connection to Lexington Avenue will be required. The completion of this roadway segment will complete the roadway system necessary to serve the proposed development, the southerly adjacent undeveloped property and the single-family Lexington Pointe developments on the east. AS NT RIGHTS- F- Y PERMI Easement requirements will be identified with the submission of detailed utility plans as a part of the technical review phase of the preliminary plat. An 80' right-of-way is required for Lexington Pointe Parkway. The development will be responsible for complying with County requirements for Lexington Avenue and Diffley Road. The development is responsible for the acquisition of all regulatory agency permits in the time frame as required by the affected agency.

PAUL, MINNESOTA 55710 612 490'2000 TO: DALE RUNKLE, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CITY OF EAGAN FROM: CINDY GRAY, TRANSPORTATION PLANNJ� BOB BYERS, TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER�� DATE: JANUARY 3, 1990 SUBJ: CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN FOR EAGAN CENTER (REV. 12/12/89) LOCATION AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF LEXINGTON AVENUE AND DIFFLEY ROAD As requested, we have reviewed the site plan for Eagan Center. This project is bounded by Diffley Road on the north, Lexington Avenue to the west, Lexington Pointe Parkway to the south, and Daniel Drive to the east. It is our understanding that the site will consist of approximately 95,000 square feet of retail, which includes a 28,000 square foot grocery store, a five screen theater with approximately 1,000 seats, a YMCA and outdoor pool for a total of approximately 32,000 square feet, and two ice arenas. The larger of the two ice arenas could range from a seating capacity of 2,000 to 3,000 while the small ice arena will have approximately 600 seats. In addition, a gas station and a day care center are shown on the southwest corner of the site. There are seven proposed accesses to the project. Two of these are located along Lexington Avenue, three to Lexington Pointe Parkway, one to Diffley Road (CSAH 30) and one to Daniel Drive. We have a number of specific comments with regard to the layout of the site plan. These concerns fall under the categories of SHORT ELLIOTT ST PAUL, WISCONSIN L<5, HENDRKI6ON INC MINNESOTA Memorandum January 3, 1990 Page #2 access, truck access and circulation, on-site automobile circulation, pedestrian circulation and parking. Specific comments are cross referenced through the use of numbers on attached plan for illustrative purposes. In addition, we've reviewed a number of proposed plats in this immediate area over the last few years. There are some issues related to the future roadway concepts on Diffley Road and Lexington Avenue as the area begins to develop. These issues are discussed in a separate SEH memo to the City dated January 3, 1990. ACCESS 1. The southerly access to Lexington Avenue is approximately 40 feet in width and appears to be designed adequately for a full access to the site. There is some concern for traffic control at the intersection of the driveway and the ringroad. We are assuming that the inbound traffic will have priority and the traffic on the ringroad will be required to stop for inbound traffic. 2. The northerly driveway off of Lexington Avenue is close enough to Diffley Road that there is some concern over the weave necessary for people who turn right out of this driveway to get into the northbound left turn lane at Diffley Road. Also, please refer to the overlay of the existing driveway for suggested improvements. f �z Memorandum January 3, 1990 Page #3 3. One access is proposed off of Diffley Road. It is our understanding that whether or not this becomes a full access point with all movements permitted is an issue currently being discussed with Dakota County. If the driveway does become a full access point, the fact that it is not aligned with the driveway to Northview Elementary School across Diffley Road would create operational problems which should be corrected at this stage in the planning process. In its present location the left turn exits from the proposed access would conflict with the left turn exits from the school driveway. 4. The outbound lanes of travel in the Diffley Road driveway should be widened to provide a minimum of 26 feet if the driveway becomes a full access point. This would allow a 12 foot left turn lane and a 14 foot right turn lane. 5. A single access is proposed off of Daniel Drive. If the access to Diffley Road becomes a right in/right out only, the Daniel Drive access may become a major point of ingress and egress. As currently designed, this driveway is not adequate to handle large volumes of traffic. One consideration may be a reorientation of both the driveway and Daniel Drive, such that Daniel Drive would become the entrance to Eagan Center. Daniel Drive to the south would then "T" into this major access point. This eliminates the need for large volumes of shopping center traffic to turn onto and off of Daniel Drive into Eagan Center. Memorandum January 3, 1990 Page #4 If the driveway remains a secondary access point and is not redesigned, the west end of the median should be cut back about 5-10 feet to prevent left turning inbound vehicles from hitting the median. 6 The westerly driveway on Lexington Pointe Parkway serves the gas station and appears to be designed adequately to accommodate a semi -truck which is necessary for gas delivery to the site. 7. The next driveway into the site from Lexington Pointe Parkway is approximately 30 feet in width with 30 foot curb radii. We believe that this driveway is designed adequately. 8 The third driveway into the site is south of the entry area of the ice arena and the YMCA. This driveway is approximately 30 feet in width with 18 foot curb radii. We suggest that the curb radii on this driveway be widened to a minimum of 25 feet to allow smoother more efficient entrances and exits from the site. 9. The most easterly driveway on Lexington Point Parkway is also 30 feet in width with an 18 foot curb radii on the west side and a 25 foot curb radii on the east side. Again, we recommend increasing the radius of the west curb return to 25 feet. TRUCK ACCESS AND CIRCULATION 10. The proposed site plan shows a 20 foot opening from the southerly driveway on Lexington Avenue (See comment 1) Memorandum January 3, 1990 Page #5 into the delivery area behind the grocery store and the retail portion of the building. The width of 20 feet was used to discourage automobiles from entering the parking area at this point. However, due to the layout of the parking and the drive aisles on the west side of the grocery store, drivers will use this area regardless of the width of the opening into the loading area. Therefore, we recommend widening the opening to 24 feet and allowing automobile traffic to enter this area freely until a point immediately beyond the second opening into the parking area. Here we suggest that an after hours gate be installed. This gate would be actuated by trucks or other vehicles trying to enter the loading area. During open hours, signs and a variety of paving materials could also serve to inform drivers that they are not to proceed beyond this point. 11. The loading and delivery areas behind the retail portion of the project are wide enough for a truck to turn completely around and exit the site. However, this is only if the area is free of any trash enclosures, other delivery trucks or other parked vehicles. Over time, employees may begin to park in this area of the site, trash enclosures will be placed on the loading and delivery area and delivery trucks may be parked in this area when not in use. This would result in a need for semi -trucks to either back into or out of the loading area from the outer ringroad. if this occurs during operating hours of the center, this would cause on-site congestion and a greater potential for safety problems on the site. I�� Memorandum January 3, 1990 Page #6 ON-SITE AUTOMOBILE CIRCULATION 12. In order to facilitate on-site automobile circulation, the curb radii of all on-site intersections and landscaped areas should be increased to 15 feet. This will allow drivers to proceed around the site without driving over curbs or swinging into the oncoming lane of traffic in order to avoid driving over the raised curbs. 13. Circulation within the parking areas would also be improved by increasing the radius of the landscape planters to 10 feet on the outside corners. 14. There are three areas of the site where we have noted a concern with regard to the distance between the ringroad and the entrance into a parking area. All of these areas are located along the south portion of the site. Two are located immediately to the southwest of the small ice arena. One of the openings from the parking area is approximately 30 feet from the inner ringroad while the other opening to this parking area is 40 feet from the outer ringroad. These short distances could result in a driver's inability to see oncoming traffic as it turns off of the ringroad. The third area of concern is located to the southeast of the YMCA building. Here there is an opening to the parking area approximately 30 feet from the inner ringroad. Again, drivers exiting the parking area may be unaware of drivers turning off of the inner ringroad due to difficult visibility. n (0 Memorandum January 3, 1990 Page #7 15. At the northeast parking lot, north of the theater, an opening is shown into the first drive aisle once inside the site. We suggest that this opening be either eliminated or moved west to the next drive aisle in order to increase the distance to the ringroad which runs along the east end of the site. 16. On the outer ringroad, there is one drive -aisle opening into the retail parking area to the west of the Diffley Road access. We suggest that this entrance be shifted approximately 20 feet to the east, which would allow the drive -aisle line be centered with the property line across the road. This would enable a shared entrance point to the two parcels north of the ringroad, rather than two or more separate entrances. The disadvantage to this is the fact that the opening would not line up with a drive -aisle, and modifications to the placement of parking rows would be necessary to achieve an alignment. 17. We are concerned over the operation of the drop-off area. The drop-off area located between the ice arenas and the YMCA is situated on a curve and is approximately 175 feet which would accommodate nearly eight cars. Such a large drop-off area may be used very inefficiently as drivers would stop directly in front of the entry plaza rather than proceeding to the end of the drop-off area allowing other vehicles to pull in behind. This is likely to result in a point of congestion on the site where many vehicles are attempting to drop people off in a location where they 111 Memorandum January 3, 1990 Page #8 cannot easily pull into the drop-off area. Also, it is difficult for drivers to get close to the curb or parallel park on a curve. We believe that the drop-off area could be improved in terms of on-site circulation by being shortened to accommodate only three to four vehicles. This would communicate the message to drivers that the drop-off area is not there for short term parking but only to drop off their riders. "No Parking" or "No Stopping" signs will be needed, especially along the curved portion of the drop-off. PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION 18. A further concern with all of the drop-off areas is the fact that pedestrians must not only cross the inner ringroad but also the drop-off area in order to access the buildings. The high level of activity which generally occurs in drop-off areas during the time immediately preceding an event such as a movie, a hockey game or an ice show in the ice arenas would coincide with the peak of pedestrian activity. For this reason, we recommend eliminating the drop-off area immediately south of the theater. At this location, drivers in this drop-off area may not be able to see oncoming vehicles traveling along the east side of the theater, and the volume of pedestrians coming from the parking area to the south will be quite high. Also, the City may wish to include a striped pedestrian crossing across the ringroad and through the drop-off area between the ice arena and the YMCA. Memorandum January 3, 1990 Page #9 19. We also see the need for pedestrian crossing points over the landscaping between the ice arena entry plaza and the parking area to the southeast as well as to the parking area south of the small ice arena. Since there are no drive aisle openings into these portions of the parking lot, people will walk across the landscaped areas enroute to the ice arenas. This is very inconvenient during the winter months and during any time in which the parking lots are full and pedestrians are forced to walk between closely parked vehicles. 20. We have noted a similar situation with regard to the head -in parking north of the retail portion of the building. We recommend eliminating all of this head -in parking due to the fact that it forces pedestrians to walk between closely parked cars enroute to the parking areas. This is a safety concern, especially in winter, when it is more difficult for drivers to stop for pedestrians. In addition, these parking areas tend to build up with ice and hard packed snow making it difficult and unsafe for pedestrians to maneuver between closely parked cars, especially while carrying their purchases. The parked cars hinder the visibility of these pedestrians for drivers on the inner ringroad. 21. The site plan shows a shared circulation area for the gas station and the day care center. We strongly recommend against service station traffic sharing circulation areas with the day care center due to the fact that extra caution is needed since a larger than average percentage of pedestrians on the day care site n1 Memorandum January 3, 1990 Page #10 are children. We are especially concerned with the fact that the car wash entrance or exit is in such close proximity to the day care center. Furthermore, we question the appropriateness of locating a day care center next to a gas station regardless of the fact that the circulation appears to be shared in this particular case. PARKING REQUIREMENTS 22. The question of bus parking arises, recognizing the fact that there are two ice arenas proposed on the site. There are no separate bus parking facilities shown on the site plan and if it is the intention to park buses in the drive aisles, confusion and inefficient traffic flow could arise. If an on-site circulation plan were developed for those times during which buses would be parked in certain drive aisles, signs, barriers, and directional arrows could reroute automobile drivers to various aisles which they could use to enter or exit the parking areas. 23. The site plan currently shows that 1,741 parking spaces are provided on the site. Using the City's parking requirement, the retail square footage requires 509 parking spaces while the theater requires 334 parking spaces for a total of 843 retail spaces. Using health club parking requirements from another City's ordinance and a parking study which was done for a health club, this land use could require anywhere from 160 to 215 parking spaces ( 1 space/200 sq. ft. to 1 space/150 sq/ ft.). This is assuming that the YMCA is approximately Memorandum January 3, 1990 Page #11 25,000 square feet with the outdoor pool area approximately 7,000 square feet for a total of 32,000 square feet. Parking for ice arenas typically requires one space per three seats. Given that the larger of the two ice arenas could seat anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000 people, the parking requirement could range from 667 to 1,000 spaces. The smaller ice arena, at 600 seats, would require 200 parking spaces. Overall the two ice arenas could require between 867 to 1,200 parking spaces. Given these ranges, the total site parking requirement would be 1,870 to 2,258 parking spaces. We anticipate that the peak parking demand could occur on weekend nights, such as Friday night. During the evening hours on a night such as Friday, one would anticipate that the grocery store, the shops, restaurants, theater, YMCA and the ice arenas would all be in use. While not the peak time for health club use, Friday night does constitute a near average attendance night at many health clubs, especially in the early evening hours. A special survey or study of other YMCA's in the Metro area may provide better information, specifically with regard to YMCA land uses. We would also anticipate that Saturday afternoon would be an extremely busy time on a site such as this. Given the above parking requirements and the likelihood of overlapping timeframes for the various uses on the site, we do not believe that 1,741 spaces is adequate Memorandum January 3, 1990 Page #12 to serve the needs of the project. We would recommend between 1,870 to 2,258, depending upon the final sizes of the YMCA and the large ice arena. 24. It appears that the arrangement/location of the parking spaces now shown on the site could be improved. The theater does not have a convenient parking situation, and the ice arena parking will very likely spill over into the parking to the west and north of the grocery store, as well as the parking south and east of the YMCA during major events. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions regarding the above comments. CRG/RHB/cih cc: Kristie Marnin ...
