POLICE DEPARTMENT
B. Police Department -- There are no items to be considered
at this time for the Police Deoartmert.
PARK DEPARTMENT
C. Park Department -- There are no items to be considered for
the Park Department at this time.
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
D. Public Works Department -- Request of Ann Pietsch -- Mr. &
Mrs. Pietsch were granted a deferment by the Gity or Eagan for
certain assessments against their property located on Dodd Road.
The property is recorded in the names of both Mr. and Mrs. Pietsch
and therefore the agreement of record between the City of Eagan
and the Pietsch's required both Mr. and Mrs. Pietch's signatures.
Mrs. Pietsch has requested special consideration by the City to
waive the signature of her husband which will allow her to proceed
with the assessment deferment. If the assessment deferment agree-
ment is not exercised, the assessments will be levied with the
property taxes this year. The City staff, including both the City
Administrator and City Attorney, has explained to Mrs. Pietsch
that the City staff cannot waive this right of signature. Due
to their situation, there are too many uncertainties providing
risk to the City. Mrs. Pietsch was advised that she consult legal
counsel in an effort to work out this problem on a personal level.
Mrs. Pietsch has asked to appear before the City Council and there-
fore was scheduled as a part of Department Head Business. Her
letter was difficult to reproduce and therefore a copy has been
typed and is enclosed on page

"To the Honorable Mayor, c, __-... _......_._ .
"My name is Ann Pietsch. I live at 4275 Dodd Road, Eagan. My hus-
band and I are separated. I've got a deferment for the acessments
but my husband will not sign. I make the payments. Therefore
just for this year until I know more what will happen with this
house, I would very much like for you to consider just one signature
on deferment papers. I can not afford $100.00 per month to be
attached to this payment. Also with the past record of payment
on this mortgage the mortgage company will not go along with late
payments. I have struggled all my life and I don't need a for -
closure of this house because of acessments which we did not want
here. We had to be one of the mis-fortunate people who have to
pay interest yet on this money due for acessments which we can
not come up with -- which is over $9,000.00. Is a lot of money.
I contacted city attorney for help they said I should write the
Council. I want to appear before the Council if necessary. I
am very concerned about this matter. I need a home to live in.
I can not afford to loose it because of acessments clue.

GRADING PERMIT - MARV EGGUM
D. Grading Permit for Mary Eggum/Borchert Ingersoll Property -
The City has received an application for a grading permit and tem-
porary gravel extraction permit for the southern portion of the
Borchert Ingersoll property in Section 12. They propose to have
Buesing Brothers Trucking Co. extract approximately 200,000-300,000
cubic yards of gravel from the site. The material will be crushed
and graded on the site, stockpiled and then hauled for construction
of I-494. The hours of operation would be from 7:00 a.m. to 7
p.m. The operation will not be continuous during, the two construc-
tion seasons 1982 and 1983. Ingress and egress to the site will
be via the access road from Hwy. 149 or Borchert Lane. A detailed
grading plan has been submitted to the City showing the before
and after contours, erosion control and the restoration of the
top soil after the removal of the gravel. The land will be restored
for crop production upon completion of the gravel extraction.
All required insurance certificates, performance bonds and fees
have been submitted, reviewed and approved by both the Director
of Public Works and Consulting Engineer.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve the grading
permit for the Borchert Ingersoll property as submitted.
SIGN PERMIT - HILLTOP CONDOMINIUMS
E. Sign Permit for Developers Construction/Hilltop Condominiums
-- An application was presented to the City for a sign permit by
Developers Construction advertising the Hilltop Condominium project.
The sign permit is for a temporary sales sign to be located adjacent
to the sales trailer which was approved by the City Council at
the last regular City Council meeting. All the requirements set
forth in the sign ordinance have been met according to the Chief
Building Inspector. The height of the sign above grade will be
approximately eleven feet while the size of the sign is 64 square
feet on both sides. The sign will advertise "Hilltop Condominiums
for Sale". The City was not aware at the time that Developers
Construction was requesting a sign for the James Refrigeration
Property, and had this fact been known, the sign permit would have
been included with the sales trailer and/or development agreement
approving the preliminary plat for Hilltop Condominiums.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve a temporary
sign permit advertising the sale of the Hilltop Condominiums.

VACATION OF UTILITY EASEMENT - RIDGECLIFFE
A. Vacation of Utility Easement over Block 13, Ridgecliffe Fifth
Addition -- The U. S. Homes Corporation has requested the vacation
of easements for Lots 1 through 4, Block 13, Ridgecliffe Fifth
Addition, due to the construction of townhomes of a larger size
than intended on the original plat. As a result, the townhouse
of four (4) lots infringes six inches onto a drainage easement.
It is proposed that one foot of the easement be vacated with is
located adjacent to and under the homes and that a foot be added
on the opposite side of the easement. The new easement for three
(3) of the four lots has been secured from U. S. Homes. The City
does expect to have a letter indicating a waiver regarding this
vacation hearing and the additional one foot easement for -the fourth
lot which is now individually owned.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To close the hearing and
either approve or deny vacation of easements for Lots 1 through
4, Block 13, Ridgecliffe Fifth Addition.
VACATION OF DRAINAGE EASEMENT- BARRINGER FIRST ADDITION
B. Vacation of Drainage & Utility Easement, Barringer First Addi-
tion -- The Barringer Addition, which is a very small addition,
was orginally platted with bordering drainage and utility easements.
That plat has now become a part of a much larger plat called Wind -
tree 2nd Addition. The new plat does not require these easements
and has its own system of easements. Since the new plat does not
contain descriptions for these easements, it has been requested
that the easement be vacated to allow proper recording of the Wind -
tree 2nd Addition plat.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To close the hearing and
approve or deny the vacation of easements for the Barringer Addition.
VACATION OF DRAINAGE & UTILITY EASEMENT - EAGANDALE IND. PARK
C. Vacation of Drainage & Utility Easement, Lot 3, Block 4, Eagan -
dale Center Industrial Park #3 -- It has been proposed that an
easement be vacated across Lot 3, Block 4, Eagandale Center Indus-
trial Park #3 to allow construction upon the site which would in-
fringe upon a present easement. The petitioner has agreed to pro-
vide the City with additional and more desirable ponding easements.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To close the public hearing

PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL ADDITION
A. Steven J. Flanagan for Preliminary Plat Approval of Cedar Cliff
Commercial Addition -- As the City Council recalls, at the April
6, 1982 meeting, a revised preliminary plat for Cedar Cliff Com-
mercial Addition was reviewed. The City Council had, previous
to that meeting, directed the City staff to review the platting
of the commercial area with the Dakota County Plat Commission in
regard to providing access via a cul de sac off Cliff Road which
is shown as Steven Court and direct access onto Nicols Road. The
Dakota County Plat Commission had agreed with this change to the
plat and further the applicant did respond to the requirement con-
cerns of the City and therefore presented a revised preliminary
plat to the City Council accepting the changes that were proposed
by the Council. At the April 6, 1982 meeting, Mr. Flanagan indi-
cated that he may wish to proceed with a replat of the area due
to the fact that he was involved in negotiations with a large cor-
poration who possibly desired acquisition of the entire parcel
considered for platting. Due to the uncertainty of negotiations,
the developer requested a thirty (30) day continuance of the pre-
liminary plat. Mr. Flanagan is requesting that the City proceed
with the preliminary plat that was originally considered with one
exception. He is requesting that the four lots fronting on Nicols
Road be platted as Lots 1 through 4, Block 1, and that the remainder
of the property be platted as an outlot at this time. The City
Administrator did provide considerable information on this preli-
minary plat with the April 6, 1982 packet, copies of which are
enclosed on pages through /S Also enclosed on pages
/6 through are copies oft1Te Cesar Cliff Commercial Addi-
tion and propos-eY grading plan for your information. The reasons
for platting an outlot are in order that a grading plan can be
worked out for the entire area prior to creating any additional
lots. The four lots being platted at this time are of adequate
grades or require minimum grading. The outlot will require a sub-
stantial amount of fill in order to develop the lots at the required
grade.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve or deny the
preliminary plat in accordance with the information and conditions
reviewed by the City Council at the 4-6-82 meeting and found again
in the support information as described above.

PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL ADDITION
D. Seven J. Flanagan for Preliminary Plat Approval of Cedar Cliff
Commercial Addition -- The revised preliminary plat for Cedar Cliff
Commercial Addition has been received and is in order for considera-
tion by the City Council. The City Council had directed the City
staff and County to look at the platting of the commercial area
in regard to providing access by a cul de sac off Cliff Road which
is shown as Steven Court and direct access onto Nicols Road. The
applicant has responded to the requirement and concerns of the
City and is proposing the revised plat for City Council considera-
tion. The proposed plat will contain fourteen commercial lots
(ten of the fourteen lots containing at least one acre in size).
There are four commercial lots which are approximately one-half
acre in size. Lots 1-4, Block 1, will have direct access to Nicols
Road. And providing four lots along Nicols Road, there can still
be two accesses to the property in cross easements between the
lots to minimize the amount of direct access. The cross easements
will be provided as a part of the final platting. Lots 5-10 will
have access from Stevens Court and no direct access will be allowed
off of Scott Trail to Lots 5-10, Block 1. Lots 1-4, Block 2, will
still have access from Scott Trail. It is the City staff's under-
standing that Lots 1-4 will be the last phase to be constructed.,
within the development. This development will be phased; the first
phase will be Lots 1-4, Block 1; second phase will be Lots 5-10,
Block 1; and the third phase will be Lots 1-4, Block 2. It is
also the City staff's understanding that the reason for phasing
is the approximate 135,000 cubic feet of fill required for the
development proposal, and to obtain this much fill at one time
would be nearly impossible. The Public Works Director will address
the grading and drainage in detail in regard to the fill required
in the phasing. Ordinance 52 does not require any lot size for
commercial lots in an LB. The only requirements in regard to the
lots are setbacks from property lines and roadways and lot coverage
for the building. The one-half acre to acre lots are adequately
sized to provide lots for office buildings. In reviewing the pre-
liminary plat, the conditions that were placed for the preliminary
plat at the October 21, 1981 planning report have been met in regard
to access off Scott Trail and other considerations. The only addi-
tional requirements for the Cedar Cliff Commercial Addition at
this time are:
A detailed landscape plan shall be approved by the City
for Lots 1, 7, 8 of Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2, because
this area will abut the residents in Cedar Cliff Addition.
This landscaping is the main buffering area between the
office and the residential lots. An adequate landscape
bond shall also be provided and not released until one year
after the landscaping has been completed.
►a
Agenda Information Memo
April 2, 1982
Page Seventeen
2. A landscape plan shall be required with all other lots at
the time development occurs. An adequate landscapte bond
shall also be required for each lot and not released until
one year after the landscaoine has been completed.
The plat should be subject to Dakota County Plat Commission's
review and comments.
4. There should be a restrictive access on the west side of
Scott Trail so that access to Lots 5-10 shall be by Steven
Court vs. Scott -Trail.
5. All buildings shall require the same architectural and
building materials on all sides of the building when pro-
posed in order that the building will not have an unat-
tractive side.
6. All trash receptacles shall be incorporated in the side
of the building or attached to the building and maintained
with the same architectural characteristics of the building.
7. The final plat shall incorporate the first phase for Lots
1-4, Block 1. Lots 5-10, Block 1 and 1-4, Block 2, shall
.,. be platted as an outlot until the second phase is ready
to be developed.
The aforementioned data was coordinated by the City Planner, Mr.
Dale Runkle. Enclosed on page 49 for additional information
is a copy of the preliminary plat as revised for Cedar Cliff Commer-
cial Addition and on page 50 a copy of the grading plan.
The Director of Public Works, Tom Colbert, has submitted the
following comments: A revised preliminary plat in comformance
with the concept approval recently approved by Council action for
the Cedar Cliff Commercial Addition has been submitted for formal
Council approval on a preliminary plat basis. In reviewing the
grading and drainage plan for the preliminary plat, it appears
that approximately 133,000 cubic yards of fill would be required
to make all fourteen lots developable. Because the developer does
not have the necessary excess fill to accommodate this at the
present time, he has indicated that he intends to develop this
in phases in the following manner:
Phase 1: Lots 1-4, fronting Nicols Road
Phase 2: Lots 5-10, gaining access from Cliff Road
through Steven Court
Phase 3: Lots 1-4, attaining access from Scott Trail
13
Agenda Information Memo
April 2, 1982
Page Eighteen
The developer has indicated that there is sufficient excess material
on the site to provide for the development of Lots 1-4 fronting
on Nicols Road. Subsequent phases would. be developed as material
becomes available. The grading plan provides for construction
of a berm along the north boundary adjacent to residential proper-
ties.
Because of the proposed phase development, staff would recommend
that the final plat for the first phase incorporate the proposed
four lots on Nicols Road with the remainder being platted as outlots
to maintain flexibility regarding additions pertaining to grading,
drainage, streets and utility requirements at the time of their
proposed development.
Although four lots are proposed to take access from Nicols Road,
it is recommended that there be a maximum number of two driveway
entrances with the necessary cross easements to the appropriate
lots to insure adequate access. The southerly access should be
restricted to a minimum of 275 feet from the center line of Cliff
Road. It is also .recommended that that section of Nicols Road
be upgraded from Cliff Road to at least Erin Lane to accommodate
the proposed future development of these lots taking direct access
from Nicols Road. Although Nicols Road is technically Dakota County
Road 28, the County intends to turn it back to the City in the
near future for perpetual maintenance; therefore, it is doubtful
that the County would participate in the cost of this upgrading.
Therefore, it is recommended that this development be responsible
for 50% of the cost of upgrading Nicols Road from Cliff Road to
Erin Lane with the other 50% being the responsibility of the commer-
cial properties located within the Mari Acre Additions. Future
upgrading of Nicols Road further to the north would be required
when the commercial shopping center was developed on the northern
end of Mari Acres Second Addition.
Because this preliminary plat is different from the one that was
discussed at the planning commission public hearing of October
27, 1981, the engineering recommendations have been revised to
the following.
1. A storm sewer system must be constructed from Mari Acres
Pond (AP -9) to the east line of Phase 1 and continued in
the future to handle the drainage requirements necessitated
by the development of any phase construction.
2. A maximum of two driveway entrances only will be allowed
onto Nicols Road with the southerly most driveway being
a minimum of 275 feet north of the center line of Cliff
Road.

3. Only one entrance will be allowed onto Cliff Road, the center
line of which being located 327 feet west of the center
line of Scott Trail.
4. Restrictive access control be dedicated adjacent to Cliff
Road, Nicols Road, and the west side of Scott Trail with
the exception of those three previously discussed access
points.
5. This development escrow is calculated assessment responsi-
bility for the upgrading of Nicols Road from Cliff Road
to Erin Lane.
6. A landscaping berm be constructed adjacent to the residential
area as a condition of the first phase development.
The Director of Public Works will be available to discuss in further
detail these conditions with the City Council at the meeting on
April 6.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS MATTER: To approve or deny the
revised preliminary plat of Cedar Cliff Commercial Addition.

RE: LEXIN(' W SOUTH PD
As requested, I have analyzed the development activity of the Lexington South
Planned Development. I have tried to determine how much of the Lexington South
PD has been developed and what the various land uses are. There are a total of
1,140 acres in the Lexington South PD. Of this amount, the following are the
acreage breakdowns of the various land uses in the Lexington South PD:
I. Residential

V. Road R.O.W. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 90.0 acres
GRAND TOTAL 1,140.0 acres
The important acreage totals to keep in mind are the 1-1 and R-2 land uses.
These totals will give a better indication of the impact'the Oakwood Heights
project will have on the entire Lexington South PD.
There are, at the present time, six subdivisions in the Lexington South PD
which have been developed or platted. The six are: Canterbury Forest, Ches
Mar East, Wedgewood, Overview Estates, Oak Pond Hills and Oak Pond Hills 2nd.
The following chart provides further information regarding each of the six
subdivisions. The numbers on the chart refer to the attached map of the Lex-

Iaxington South PD
April 28, 1982
Page two
At the present time, there are 92 units that have been developed or platted
that are in the 1-1 land use category of the Iexington South PD. The esti-
mated number of units to be developed in the R-1 category is 217. The 92
developed or platted R-1 units are on 85.6 acres with the total amount of
R-1 land in the Lexington South PD being 87 acres. Therefore, the land de-
signated for R-1 use in the Ip--axgtcn South PD is nearly saturated with
only 92 of the expected 217 units.
There are 203 units that have been developed or platted that are in the R-2
land use category of the Lexington South PD. There are 1,633 potential R-2
units in the Lexington South PD. The 203 developed or platted R-2 units are
on 93.9 acres with the total amount of R-2 land in the Lexington South PD
being 326.6 acres. Therefore, the land designated for R-2 use in the Lex-
ington South PD is only 28% saturated with 232.7 acres yet to be developed.
The 232.7 acres is available for development of the remaining 1,430 R-2
dwelling units that are projected in the rax natcn South PD.
At the present time, there has been no development or platting of any R-3
or R-4 land in the Lexington South PD. However, it has been projected that
there will be 1,800 R-3 units and 1,636 R-4 units developed in the Lexington
South PD.
In conclusion, it appears that there is considerable development yet to take
place in the Lexington South PD. Most of the future development will occur
in the R-2, R-3, R-4 and commercial areas with much of the R-1 land already
developed.

0AKWOOD HEIGHTS CONDOMINIUMS - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The application of Countryside Builders and Jerry Lagro for preliminary
plat approval of Oakwood Heights Condominiums consisting of 9.95 acres and 60
condominium dwelling units was then considered by the Council. Mr. Darrel
Anderson, architect, and Mr. Lagro were present. The project would consist of
12 different unit plans and three building types on a very rough parcel of
property north of Wilderness Run Road in a portion of the Lexington South
Planned Development. Mr. Anderson indicated.that the developer would attempt
to save as many oak trees as possible, that a tot lot would be provided, that
a private street would be provided on the north, there would be two spaces per
unit for parking and additional guest parking would be available. He re-
quested the increase in density to 64 units, but indicated that he misunder-
stood the density requirements under the ordinance, basing that request on
6,000 square feet per unit. The units would be 800 to 1,300 square feet in
size and there would be a minimum 40 foot setback along Wilderness Run Road.
It was noted that in order to comply with the ordinance requirements, that it
would be necessary to reduce the density to approximately 57.5 dwelling units
in the area zoned planned development, allowing 3 to 6 dwelling units per
acre. If the streets are all public, it would also reduce the acreage by
about 2 additional acres for computation of density. The prices would range
from $58,000.00 to $82,000.00 per unit.
It was noted that lower density generally is provided around the area, except to the east. Mr. Anderson indicated that the developer would comply
with the density requirements of the City. McCrea moved, Turnham seconded the
motion to recommend approval, subject to the following:
1. That density not exceed 55 units in the project.
2. A development agreement shall be completed prior to the construction
of any of the dwelling units.
3. A detailed landscape plan shall be approved by City staff and an
adequate landscape bond shall be submitted with the final plat and not re-
leased until one year after the landscaping has been completed.
4. The developer shall provide the City with a copy of the Homeowner's
Association Articles and Bylaws for review.
5. The park dedication has been satisfied with the Lexington South
Planned Development. However, a tot lot shall be included and its plan shall
be reviewed by the Advisory Park Committee for its recommendations.
6. A 40 foot setback for all buildings shall be required from Wilder-
ness Run Road.
7. All other City ordinances shall be applicable for the overall
development.

8. An 80 foot right-of-way should be dedicated for Wilderness Run Road
in conformance with the existing street and utility easement adjacent to this
plat.
9. Internal private drives shall be a minimum 28 feet in width con-
structed to a 7 -ton design with concrete curb and gutter.
10. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be
submitted and approved by the City prior to final plat approval.
11. If installed privately, the utility layout and design shall be as
approved by the City.
12. Trunk area storm sewer assessments shall be paid as a condition of
final plat approval.
13. A 10 foot drainage and utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent
to all lot boundaries in this proposed plat.
Those in favor were McCrea, Turnham, Wilkins and Hall. Those against
were Bohne Krob and Wold. Those voting no were concerned about the density
being too high on the parcel of property. It was suggested by Planning
Commission members that the staff review a potential reduction of 2 units in
the buildings facing the pond on the east.

HOURS OF OPERATION VARIANCE - NICOLS LANDING
B. Larry Miller (Nicols Landing) for Variance to Ordinance #73
(Amusement Devices) to Extend Hours of Operation until 12:00 Mid-
night -- At the November 4, 1981 City Council meeting, a conditional
use permit was granted to Mr. Larry Miller to operate more than
three (3) amusement devices at Nicols Landing (previously the A
& W Restaurant). The ordinance does not allow hours of operation
for the amusement arcade to be later than 10:00 p.m. At the time
of conditional use permit approval, the applicant did request that
the restaurant be permitted to continue to be open until 12:00
p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. The City was assured that
the machine portion of the restaurant portion of the restaurant
could be closed at 10:00 p.m. to comply with the ordinance. There-
fore, the action taken by the City Council was as follows: "Motion
to approve the application, subject to the review by staff as to
the maximum number of machines that could appropriately be placed
in the establishment and further, that the portion of the building
used for the amusement devices be closed at 10:00 p.m. to comply
with the ordinance in full compliance of Ordinance #73, Amusement
Devices." The City has received a request from Mr. Miller that
the City approve a request to allow the amusement devices to be
operated until 12:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights to remain
consistent with the restaurant operation. Enclosed on page
_2! is a letter from Mr. Miller requesting the new hours of
operation for amusement devices.

two (2) amusement devices for Applebaum's food store was denied.
The minutes read as follows, "The application of Applebaum's food
store for two amusement devices at the Applebaum's store in Cedar -
vale Shopping Center was submitted for consideration. There was
no appearance and council members discussed the application, in-
dicating that it did not appear to be a good location for amusement
devices in a grocery supermarket. Smith moved, Wachter seconded
the motion, to deny the application for the reasons mentioned above.
All voted yes." Mr. Leonard Dennis, president of Storcast Corpora-
tion of America, Wayne, Pa., has reapplied for the application
and would like to have a representative appear before the City
Council to discuss the reasons they have for approval of the two
(2) amusement devices. This application was treated as a new appli-
cation with all fees paid to the City.

MEMORANDUM OF INTENT
TO: CITY OF EAGAN
FROM: WEHRMAN CONSULTANTS ASSOCIATED, INC. FOR BUESING BROS. TRUCKING, INC.
DATE: APRIL 26, 1982
SUBJECT: EXTRACTION AND CRUSHING OF GRAVEL AT BORCHERT-INGERSOLL, INC. PROPERTY
3275 Dodd Road, Eagan, Minnesota 55121
PURPOSE: To extract and process gravel for use in I-494 construction project
located between Minnesota River and Highway 55. The removal of the
material will better adapt the site terrain for future industrial
development, while maintaining the general character of the topography
during the interim period.
PROCEDURE: During the construction seasons of 1982 - 1983, Buesing Bros. Truck-
ing, Inc. will extract 200,000 to 300,000 cubic yards of gravel from
the site. The material will be crushed and graded by an on-site
plant, stockpiled and subsequently hauled to the construction site.
The operation of the crushing plant will not be continuous during the
two seasons.
Ingress and egress to the site will be via the access road from
Highway 149 or via Borchert Lane as shown on the attached drawing.
Hours of operation will be limited to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and
7:00 a.m. C.D.T. _
Traffic movement to and from the site, as well as dust and noise control,
will conform to Mn/DOT, PCA and City of Eagan requirements.
DRAINAGE The extraction, grading and processing will occur outside the 100 -year
WETLANDS flood level of the adjacent wetland,.i.e., above the 850 contour. Ero-
AND sion control, by means of hay bales with snow fence, or Envirofence,
EROSION will. prevent sediment from reaching the wetland during the period of
CONTROL: extraction and grading. The extraction area will be graded in a manner
'to assure that drainage will be intercepted by the erosion control
devices during construction.
Previous to extraction, the topsoil will be'stripped and stockpiled.
After completion of extraction operations, and establishment of subgrade
in conformance with the attached grading plan, the topsoil will be
deposited over the disturbed area. The disturbed area will then be
returned to crop production.
It should be recognized that the quantity of extracted material cannot
be precisely determined, and consequently, the ultimate grading shown
may vary. The attached drawing indicates the maximum amount of antici-
pated extraction.

DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: APRIL 27, 1982
DATE OF REPORT: APRIL 22, 1982
REPORTED BY: DAVID M. OSBERG, PLANNING ASSISTANT
APPLICATION SUBMr=:
An application has been submitted for a conditional use permit to allow a fast
food restaurant in a Neighborhood Business District located at 1973 Silver Bell
Center.
COMMENTS
The applicants are proposing to open a fast food Mexican restaurant in the Sil-
ver Bell Center,. The restaurant will have seating available for consumption of
food on the premises and food will also be prepared for oomsumption off the pre-
mises.
According to the zoning ordinance, a retail shopping center in a Neighborhood
Business District, which the Silver Bell Center is, may have a restaurant with
sit-down facilities only. Because the applicants are proposing to have food
available for consumption off the premises, a oonditional use permit is required.
As can be seen from the attached diagram of the restaurant, seating will be avail-
able for consumption of food on the premises with approximately 40 seats avail-
able.
Staff would like to point out that the Silver Bell Shopping Center appears as a
General Business District on the zoning map and in reality the zoning is Neigh-
borhood Business.
If a conditional use permit is granted, all other ordinance requirements shall
be amplied with.

The application of Roger Erickson and Ed Leiei, dba Jatco, Inc., for a
conditional use permit to allow a Mexican fast food restaurant in a Neighbor-
hood Business District located at 1973 Silver Bell Center was convened by the
Chairman. It was noted that there appeared to be adequate parking for this
type of restaurant, which was to expect 508 sit-down and 508 take-out busi-
ness. This was assuming that this Shopping Center continued to be a low-
volume center and that the once proposes] hamburger and beer establishment was
not being developed. The members also expressed concern that the applicant be
responsible for any necessary receptacles for customers that would choose to
eat their food outside of the building and dispose of the waste. Member Krob
moves] to recommend approval of the conditional use, subject to compliance with
applicable ordinance provisions . It was seconded by McCrea. All voted in
favor.

The low bid is approximately 3% over the cost estimated for the preliminary
report. A breakdown by project shows a 7% increase for the Trunk Sanitary and
Trunk Storm Sewer Project 321 and 326 while Overhill Farm Addition, Project
332 shows a 7% decrease when compared to preliminary report costs.
It is felt cost increases for Project 321 and 326 are due to preliminary re-
port costs being prepared in January 1981 and also due to an abnormal winter
which increased groundwater conditions. Soil borings taken by contractors ex-
perienced significantly wetter conditions than experienced by soil borings

Re: McCarthy Condemnation Action
Dear Tom:
April 19, 1982
AREA CODE 612
TELE"ONE 464.4224
This is an update on the Wescott Road and McCarthy Pond condemnation actions.
You may recall that the hearing on the Petition for the condemnation of the
pond took place in December. We recently received the decision of the Court
granting our Petition and appointing three commissioners. Immediately, Arnold
Kempe, the McCarthy's attorney, brought a motion which was heard on April 15
before Judge Kluck asking that the Petition be denied and that the City had no
right to be trespassing on the McCarthy property for the installation of the
pipe from the developed land to the north to the pond. You also will perhaps
remember that about 100 feet of pipe was installed on the McCarthy property in
September of 1981. The reason that Mr. Kempe has brought this motion is to
attempt to preserve his rights in the trespass action where he is also claiming
treble damages, contending that the City had no right to enter upon the land
for purposes of construction of the road or the construction of the pipe in
the pond. He claims that money was not paid into the Court in either case
timely, and therefore, the City did not have the right to enter upon the
property and that the quick,take was not effective. In addition, he cited
what he claims are procedural problems and as yet I do not have that decision
from Judge Kluck. I have the impression that the Court's decision will be that
he will grant the Petition, appoint the commissioners, and date the taking at
the time that the commissioners' award comes out rather than September when the
pipe was installed which would be necessary for a quick take type of of action.
That would allow Mr. Kempe to continue his trespass action and of course he
would have to provde that there was a trespass when that case comes up.
I understand from Tom Colbert that there may be a need for a sanitary sewer
line across the McCarthy property to the south of Wescott Road in the near future. Ap-
parently, there have been meetings with Jim Curry concerning the development of
land to the east of McCarthy's land, including a church site that apparently has
been acquired at the southwest corner of Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue.
That would mean that a third condemnation action would be necessary if develop-
ment does get started to the east and the City does allow that development to
occur. We have suggested several alternatives, including the developer escrow-
ing sufficient money to assure the City that the easement can be acquired,
hopefully without cost to the City. No specific proposal has been submitted
however.
M,
Mr. Hedges
April 19, 1982

In talking about all of these issues, Mr. Kempe has suggested the following
settlement:
1. That the City would pay the $161,000 commissioners' award for the taking of
Wescott Road.
2. That the McCarthys would drop their trespass action.
1 3. That McCarthys would drop any motions that they have brought claiming pro-
cedural problems in the condemnation action.
4. That the City would then proceed with its hearing on the condemnation of
the pond and get a decision on that.
You will recall that at one time Mr. Kempe had duggested the payment of the
$161,000 award and that the Council at that time turned it down. He is, of
course, trying to use leverage now to force the City into settling but the
complicating factor again is another potential condemnation action across the
McCarthy land. We do have an appraisal for the pond of about $60,000 and one
possibility would be to try to negotiate all three easements at one time. I
don't expect, however,that McCarthys will reduce their demand below the $161,000
for Wescott Road and am not sure what wgsla happen to the others.

John P. Nelson March 10, 1982
Montevideo City Attorney 387b-10
P.O. Box 656 (Cr. Ref 59b-12)
Montevideo, Minnnesota 56265
In your letter to Attorney General Warren Span.
naus you submit substantially the following:
FACTS
Minn. Stat. 911444.16 to 444.21 (1980) relate to the
authority of a municipality to establish within its Um -
its a storm sewer improvement tax district. The City of
Montevideo is considering establishing the entire city as
such a district. There would probably be a series of
storm sewer projects over a number of years covering
different parts of the city but when all projects are
completed, substantially all of the city would be bene•
flted. It is contemplated that the taxes authorized under
these statutes would be levied against all the property
in the district for each project although only part of
the district would be immediately affected by each
project.
QUESTION ONE
May the entire city be established as a singlestorm
sewer improvement tax district pursuant to sections
444.16 to 444.21, supra?
OPINION
Assuming the city will, as a whole, be generally
benefited by the proposed system of storm sewers, as
the statement of facts seem to suggest your question
is answered in the affirmative.
In essence, these statutes empower a municipality
to establish, within its corporate limits, a storm sewer
improvement tax district, to construct storm sewer sys.
tems within the district and to recover the cost thereof
by levying taxes on all taxable property within the
district. Implicit in this statutory scheme is the notion
that the area selected, for Inclusion in the district will
bear some rational relationship to the storm sewer pro.
jects to be undertaken therein. This requires that, at
the very least, such area be benefited, in a general way,
by these projects to an extent greater than the area,
If any, excluded. See generally, L(fteau v. Metropolitan
Sports Fac. Con m'n, 270 N.W.2d 749 (Minn. 1978);
Steiner v. Sullivan, 74 Minn. 498, 77 N.W. 286 (1898);
Maltby v. Tautges, 50 Minn. 248, 52 N.W. 868 (1892).
Where it is determined that virtually the entire
municipality will be so benefited, nothing in these sta-
tutes precludes the Inclusion of the entire municipality
within the boundaries of the district. It seems clear that
a district, whose boundaries are coterminous with those

partment of Natural Resources. 983M 3/31/82
of the municipality is "within" corporate limits as con-
templated by section 444.17.
QUESTION TWO
If it were found that, because of the topography,
some small sections in the district would not be directly
benefited by being drained, would this invalidate the
district?
OPINION
Your question is answered in the negative. In our
view, the validity of a district established under these
statutes is not dependent upon a finding that each par.
cel of property therein will be directly or specially bene-
fited by the contemplated projects. Analysis of direct
or special benefit to a particular parcel of property is
relevant only to situations in which a governmental unit
proposes to levy special assessments based upon such
benefits "without regard to cash valuations"; see Minn.
Const. art. X, 91; Edward Kraemer & Sons, Inc, v. Vil-
lage of Burnsville, 310 Minn. 32, 245 N.W.2d 445 (1976).
In contrast, expenditures supported by ad valorem
tax levies are judged in light of proper public purpose
or general benefits to the community or taxing dis-
trict. It seems clear that the provisions of sections
444.16 et seq. proceed from the notion that the storm
sewer system will be general benefit to the established
district and will be therefore supported by an ad valor-
em tax levied within the district. Sections 444.18, subd.
1, and 444.20 specifically provide that the cost of such
projects may be recovered by taxes levied on all taxable
property within the district. Taxes do not Include special
assessments. State v. Roselawn Cemetery Assn, 259
Minn. 479, 108 N.W.2d 305 (1961). e
Thus, assuming that the area comprising the dis-
trict has been reasonably determined as discussed in
our answer to question one, supra, the lack of direct
benefit to any particular parcel or parcels within the
district should be of no legal consequence.
QUESTION THREE
Does the reference in section 444.18 subd. to the
procedures in sections 429.031 to 429.081, which relate
to special assessments for local improvements, mean
that the taxes levied in the district are to be based
upon special benefits and that mailed notice must be
given to property owners, as provided in those sections,
when a storm sewer project is undertaken within the
district?
OPINION
The portion of your question dealing with special
benefits is answered in the negative by reference to our
answer to your second question, supra; the portion deal-
" We do not here address the question of the authority to
recover the cost of projects within a district by special
assessments under Minn. Stat. ch. 429 in addition to the
taxes authorized by Minn. Stat. §§ 444.16 at seq.
Ing with mailed notice is answered in the affirmative.
Section 444.18, subd. 1, empowers the city council
to construct and Improve storm sewer systems and re-
lated facilities within and for the district and subdivi-
sion 2 declares that "[t]he procedures of sections 429.031
to 429.081 shall apply when the council of a municipality
determines to make an improvement pursuant to this
section." The procedures referred to include provisions
for mailed notice to affected property owners of hear-
ings to be held in connection with special assessments
for local Improvements.
We think these provisions for mailed notice of
hearings apply when a storm sewer project Is under-
taken within the district. The intent seems to be to
make as certain as possible that affected property own-
ers are notified of the hearing process and afforded an
opportunity for Input particularily in view of the author.
Ity conferred upon the council by section 444.19 to fin-
ance the project by general obligation bonds issued
without an election.

Altkin County Attorney 983M
Courthouse Annex (c.r. 628, 700d13)
Aitkln, Minnesota 66431
In your letter to Attorney General Warren Span-
naus you present substantially the following
FACTS
Aitkin County Is in the introductory stages of a
Class "B" land exchange under the provisions of Minn.
Stat. H 94.341 to 94.347 (1980). This tax -forfeited county
land contains peat deposits and in some places the
deposits are In excess of twenty feet deep. You cite
Op. Atty. Gen. 983m, Feb. 9, 1968, which held that
lands forfeited to the state for nonpayment of taxes
are lands within the meaning of Minn. Stat. 8 92.461
and the county is prohibited from selling the tax -for-
feited land if it is chiefly valuable because of peat
deposits in commercial quantities.
QUESTION
If the county is prohibited from selling peat lands
in commercial quantities under Op. Atty. Gen. 983m,
Feb. 9, 1968, is the county prohibited from exchang-
ing peat lands In commercial quantities under the pro.
visions of Minn. Stat. 3894.341 to 94.347 (1980)?
OPINION
It is our opinion that tax -forfeited land, chiefly
valuable because of peat deposits in commercial quan-
tities is not exchangeable under the provisions of Minn.
Stat. H 94.341 to 94.347:
Minn. Stat. 3 92.461, supra, the law which governs
the sale or prohibition of the sale of peat lands, reads:
Subdivision 1. Peat lands withdrawn from sale.
All lands now or hereafter owned by the state which
MARCH 1982
are chiefly valuable by reason of deposits of peat
in commercial quantities are hereby withdrawn from
sale.
Subd. 2. Examination by commissioner of natural
resources. Before any state land is offered for sale
the commissioner of natural resources shall cause
such land to be examined to determine whether the
land is chiefly valuable by reason of deposits of
peat in commercial quantities.
The opinion dated February 9, 1968, supra, held:
it is the opinion of this office that lands forfeited
to the state for nonpayment of taxes are considered
within the meaning of Section 92.461, but that such
lands may be sold if the Commissioner of Conserva.
tion (Natural Resources) determines that the lands
are not chiefly valuable by reason of deposits of
peat in commercial quantities.
Tax -forfeited lands under the jurisdiction of the
county may be exchanged for private or federal lands
in the same county and the exchange is defined as
a Class B land exchange. Mltm. Stat. 994.342, subd. 2
reads as follows:
All lands heretofore or hereafter acquired by the
state through tax -forfeiture, held subject to a trust
in favor of taxing districts, and under the control
of county authorities for classification, appraisal, and
sale shall be known as Class B land for the purposes
of sections 94.341 to 94.347. (Emphasis added.)
Additionally, Minn. Stat. 3 94.344, subd. 2, which
provides one of the conditions under which Class B
lands may be exchanged, reads:
No Class B land which is not classified for sale,
and no Class B land, however, classified, lying within
any zone or district which Is restricted against any
use .for which the land may be suitable shall be
given in exchange for any privately owned land. (Em-
phasis added.)
The basis for this opinion logically follows the
opinion dated February 9, 1968, supra. In the preced.
ing quoted portions of the land exchange statutes, the
former, defining Class B land as being tax -forfeited
land subject to exchange and the latter as one of the
conditions of the exchange, clearly disposes of the
question of when Class B land may be exchanged.
Tax -forfeited peat lands are not under the control
of the county for "classification appraisal and sale"
until the Commissioner of Natural Resources has de-
termined that the tax -forfeited peat land is not chiefly
valuable by reason of deposits of peat in commercial
quantities.
As recited in the opinion dated February 9, 1968,
supra, this conclusion is also supported by the long-
standing interpretation of the Commissioner of Nat.
ural Resources. The Commissioner of Natural Resour-
ces has been making a commercial quantity peat de-
termination on tax -forfeited land for sale as required
by Minn. Stat. 392.461, subd. 2 (1980), supra. We have
also been informed that this requirement has been
applied to tax -forfeited land exchanges in other coun-
ties in the state.
Thus, it is our opinion that the prohibition against
sale of certain peat lands contained In Minn. Stat.
§92.461 precludes the exchange of such lands under
Minn. Stat. H 94.341 to 94.347, supra.

Re: Impact of New Statutes Regarding Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
One of the first legislative enactments of the 1982 session involved certain
amendments to the driving under the influence statutes and the implied consent
law, the latter specifying the terms under which a test for a blood alcohol
concentration may be obtained and providing for the revocation of one's
drivers license under certain conditions. Included in these amendments are
certain provisions enacted to circumvent legal objections to these charges,
however, we do not expect a significant difference in the number of cases
tried or the success ratio due to these amendments. The amendments which do
appear to be significant in the prosecution of these offenses are as follows:
1. The redefinition of the second DWI offense within five years, or a third
DWI offense within ten years, as a gross misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of
$1,000 and/or one year in jail. It is important that a plea negotiation of
the first offense to a careless driving or a reckless driving charge, quite
common in the past, will not invoke the gross misdemeanor penalties upon the
occurrence of a second offense within the time limit specified above.
2. The driver, upon the refusal of a blood alcohol test or the blood alcohol
test which exceeds legal limits (.108 blood alcohol content) will receive a
seven day temporary license after which he shall suffer the revocation of his
license until such time as the period of revocation expires or the revocation
is overturned by a court. The individual may entitled to a limited work
license during this period of revocation. In the past, the revocation was
postponer] until such time as the driver waived a hearing on the revocation, or
the Court held the revocation to be proper. This will result in the early
removal of drinking drivers from the streets.
3. The City will be permitted to submit to the State test results between
the .078 blood alcohol and .108 blood alcohol concentration and, 'in that event
SO

the criminal action may or may not be pursued. However, upon the receipt of
two such test results, the State Department of Transportation may require the
driver to submit to alcohol dependency treatment or revoke the individual's
license for up to 90 days.
4. There is no longer a requirement that a blood test be offered in every
case. As a result, the Police Department may be able to use the breathalyzer
in more instances with a time savings to the police officers involved.
Subsequent to the passage of this new legislation, I have met with the staff
of the Eagan Police Department and discussed changes in police procedure which
will have to be instituted. Due to the public concern expressed in this area
and due to the clear legislative intent that a second driving under the
influence charge should be considered the more severe gross misdemeanor, again
a gross misdemeanor may not be charged if the first offense was plea nego-
tiated to a careless or reckless driving charge, our office proposes to adopt
the policy whereby all DWI charges which appear to have a good chance of
success will not be plea negotiated. In the past, many of the first time DWI
offenders were allowed to plea to a lesser charge even if there was a high
chance of success in proving up the DWI charge. A primary reason of this was
to dispose of as many cases as possible, as early in the process as possible,
with a resulting cost savings to the City. In addition, with the negotiated
plea, the defendants received a longer term of license revocation and were
subjected to the same fine by most Judges and the same impact on insurance
rates by most insurance carriers. The result of our proposed change of policy
to deny plea negotiations will no doubt be the substantial increase in the
number of cases set for jury trial and at least some increase in the number of
cases actually tried. It has been estimated by one of the local prosecutors
that bringing a DWI charge through the criminal process including full trial
will cost a municipality as much as $1,200 in police officer and attorney
time. In the event the result is a guilty verdict, the defendant can be fined
up to $500, however, the actual fine imposed is usually somewhat less and this
fine is then split between the County and the municipality.
A second increase in cost to the municipality is anticipated through the
prosecution of second offenses as gross misdemeanors. Our office presently
attends arraignments, pre -trials and court trials, and jury trials and on
these various dates many cases are scheduled together. Therefore, the cost of
processing any individual case is reduced substantially. The prosecuting
attorneys within Dakota County, including our office, have attempted to work
out a system with the Dakota County Judges where it will not be necessary for
the prosecutor to appear at the first appearance for the gross misdemeanors.
However, the second appearance (omnibus hearing) and trials will be set at
times different than the normal appearances made by our office. These appear-
ances can only be made in Hastings. With very little upon which to base an
opinion, I would estimate that the City will prosecute 20-30 of such gross
misdemeanor DWI charges per year and these additional appearances will result
in additional cost to the City.

Finally, under existing statutes or practice, the fines obtained through the
prosecution of a gross misdemeanor offense are not split between the City and
the County but rather paid solely to the County. While a change in this
policy may seem appropriate with regards to gross misdemeanors prosecuted by
the City, no one in the Court system, County Attorney's office, or among the
City prosecutors are presently aware of whether .this procedure has been
altered or. may be altered without specific legislation.
With the exception of the driving under the influence charges, prosecution of
gross misdemeanors will remain at the County level in Dakota County. In
Hennepin and Ramsey County, municipalities will begin to prosecute all gross
misdemeanors as of January 1, 1983. There has been much speculation that
these changes foreshadow the prosecution of gross misdemeanors at the
municipal level on a state wide basis.
Subject bo further discussion with the City or Police Department, our office
does intend, with regards to offenses occurring after the effective date of
the new legislation, April 1, 1982, to follow the new policies of requiring a
straight plea to the driving under the influence charge on a first time
offense and the prosecution of a second time offense as a gross misdemeanor.
Thank you for your attention bo this matter.

The bond market struggles to come back, but with even a modest improvement the pent up demand for
long term funds surfaces and interest rates head up again.
There is no doubt that our concern of ages ago was
justified: Overuse of tax exempt financing has
diluted the interest saving inherent in tax exemption.
LHE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Monday, April 12, 1982
++++++++++
Minnesota general obligation municipal bond interest rate limits are now one percent above the Bond
Buyer Index of 20, 20 year bonds, rounded to the next highest full percent, as detennined by the
Commissioner of Finance on the 20th of each preceding month. G.O. bonds payable from special assess-
ments [sic], as well as non-G.O. bonds, have a one percent higher limit (15% for April).
New ideas keep entering the tax exempt bond market such as "puts", letters of credit, insurance,
stepped coupon bonds, zero coupon bonds, mandatory call tern bonds, each of which is said to be a
"sure" way to reduce interest rates. Some have promise, but, as with some old "new" ideas, such as
deep discount bids there are apt to be trade-offs. We tend to stay with proven ways until a clear
advantage is shown from novel approaches.
+ + + + + + + + + +
Eden Prairie, Minnesota, completed its $18 million tax increment financing. Unique not only because
of its size (for tax increment projects in this area, at least) and because it was insured (first
AMBAC insured G.O. bonds in Minnesota), the financing is particularly noteworthy because of its pur-
pose. The City will now complete an extensive complex of Federal, Interstate, State, County and City
highway interchanges for which funds had dried up which will greatly improve traffic flow, public
safety, the prosperity of the City's major commercial center and the City's own economic base.

Ehlers and Associates will have an interesting seminar on May 5 on coping with city revenue problems.
Invitations were limited to twelve counties in and around the metro area but some openings may remain
when this newsletter is received which will be available on a first come first served basis. The
cost is $15 to cover lunch and materials. This meeting will be repeated if there is a demand.
Very truly yours,

at this time for the Police Deoartmert.
PARK DEPARTMENT
C. Park Department -- There are no items to be considered for
the Park Department at this time.
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
D. Public Works Department -- Request of Ann Pietsch -- Mr. &
Mrs. Pietsch were granted a deferment by the Gity or Eagan for
certain assessments against their property located on Dodd Road.
The property is recorded in the names of both Mr. and Mrs. Pietsch
and therefore the agreement of record between the City of Eagan
and the Pietsch's required both Mr. and Mrs. Pietch's signatures.
Mrs. Pietsch has requested special consideration by the City to
waive the signature of her husband which will allow her to proceed
with the assessment deferment. If the assessment deferment agree-
ment is not exercised, the assessments will be levied with the
property taxes this year. The City staff, including both the City
Administrator and City Attorney, has explained to Mrs. Pietsch
that the City staff cannot waive this right of signature. Due
to their situation, there are too many uncertainties providing
risk to the City. Mrs. Pietsch was advised that she consult legal
counsel in an effort to work out this problem on a personal level.
Mrs. Pietsch has asked to appear before the City Council and there-
fore was scheduled as a part of Department Head Business. Her
letter was difficult to reproduce and therefore a copy has been
typed and is enclosed on page

"My name is Ann Pietsch. I live at 4275 Dodd Road, Eagan. My hus-
band and I are separated. I've got a deferment for the acessments
but my husband will not sign. I make the payments. Therefore
just for this year until I know more what will happen with this
house, I would very much like for you to consider just one signature
on deferment papers. I can not afford $100.00 per month to be
attached to this payment. Also with the past record of payment
on this mortgage the mortgage company will not go along with late
payments. I have struggled all my life and I don't need a for -
closure of this house because of acessments which we did not want
here. We had to be one of the mis-fortunate people who have to
pay interest yet on this money due for acessments which we can
not come up with -- which is over $9,000.00. Is a lot of money.
I contacted city attorney for help they said I should write the
Council. I want to appear before the Council if necessary. I
am very concerned about this matter. I need a home to live in.
I can not afford to loose it because of acessments clue.

is for Rosewood Corporation for a temporary trailer sales office.
Both conditional use permits are being further reviewed by the
City staff and support information will be provided with the Admini-
strative Agenda on Monday regarding both of these conditional use
permits.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve the annual re-
newal of the two (2) aforementioned conditional use permits.

GRADING PERMIT - MARV EGGUM
D. Grading Permit for Mary Eggum/Borchert Ingersoll Property -
The City has received an application for a grading permit and tem-
porary gravel extraction permit for the southern portion of the
Borchert Ingersoll property in Section 12. They propose to have
Buesing Brothers Trucking Co. extract approximately 200,000-300,000
cubic yards of gravel from the site. The material will be crushed
and graded on the site, stockpiled and then hauled for construction
of I-494. The hours of operation would be from 7:00 a.m. to 7
p.m. The operation will not be continuous during, the two construc-
tion seasons 1982 and 1983. Ingress and egress to the site will
be via the access road from Hwy. 149 or Borchert Lane. A detailed
grading plan has been submitted to the City showing the before
and after contours, erosion control and the restoration of the
top soil after the removal of the gravel. The land will be restored
for crop production upon completion of the gravel extraction.
All required insurance certificates, performance bonds and fees
have been submitted, reviewed and approved by both the Director
of Public Works and Consulting Engineer.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve the grading
permit for the Borchert Ingersoll property as submitted.
SIGN PERMIT - HILLTOP CONDOMINIUMS
E. Sign Permit for Developers Construction/Hilltop Condominiums
-- An application was presented to the City for a sign permit by
Developers Construction advertising the Hilltop Condominium project.
The sign permit is for a temporary sales sign to be located adjacent
to the sales trailer which was approved by the City Council at
the last regular City Council meeting. All the requirements set
forth in the sign ordinance have been met according to the Chief
Building Inspector. The height of the sign above grade will be
approximately eleven feet while the size of the sign is 64 square
feet on both sides. The sign will advertise "Hilltop Condominiums
for Sale". The City was not aware at the time that Developers
Construction was requesting a sign for the James Refrigeration
Property, and had this fact been known, the sign permit would have
been included with the sales trailer and/or development agreement
approving the preliminary plat for Hilltop Condominiums.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve a temporary
sign permit advertising the sale of the Hilltop Condominiums.

VACATION OF UTILITY EASEMENT - RIDGECLIFFE
A. Vacation of Utility Easement over Block 13, Ridgecliffe Fifth
Addition -- The U. S. Homes Corporation has requested the vacation
of easements for Lots 1 through 4, Block 13, Ridgecliffe Fifth
Addition, due to the construction of townhomes of a larger size
than intended on the original plat. As a result, the townhouse
of four (4) lots infringes six inches onto a drainage easement.
It is proposed that one foot of the easement be vacated with is
located adjacent to and under the homes and that a foot be added
on the opposite side of the easement. The new easement for three
(3) of the four lots has been secured from U. S. Homes. The City
does expect to have a letter indicating a waiver regarding this
vacation hearing and the additional one foot easement for -the fourth
lot which is now individually owned.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To close the hearing and
either approve or deny vacation of easements for Lots 1 through
4, Block 13, Ridgecliffe Fifth Addition.
VACATION OF DRAINAGE EASEMENT- BARRINGER FIRST ADDITION
B. Vacation of Drainage & Utility Easement, Barringer First Addi-
tion -- The Barringer Addition, which is a very small addition,
was orginally platted with bordering drainage and utility easements.
That plat has now become a part of a much larger plat called Wind -
tree 2nd Addition. The new plat does not require these easements
and has its own system of easements. Since the new plat does not
contain descriptions for these easements, it has been requested
that the easement be vacated to allow proper recording of the Wind -

PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL ADDITION
A. Steven J. Flanagan for Preliminary Plat Approval of Cedar Cliff
Commercial Addition -- As the City Council recalls, at the April
6, 1982 meeting, a revised preliminary plat for Cedar Cliff Com-
mercial Addition was reviewed. The City Council had, previous
to that meeting, directed the City staff to review the platting
of the commercial area with the Dakota County Plat Commission in
regard to providing access via a cul de sac off Cliff Road which
is shown as Steven Court and direct access onto Nicols Road. The
Dakota County Plat Commission had agreed with this change to the
plat and further the applicant did respond to the requirement con-
cerns of the City and therefore presented a revised preliminary
plat to the City Council accepting the changes that were proposed
by the Council. At the April 6, 1982 meeting, Mr. Flanagan indi-
cated that he may wish to proceed with a replat of the area due
to the fact that he was involved in negotiations with a large cor-
poration who possibly desired acquisition of the entire parcel
considered for platting. Due to the uncertainty of negotiations,
the developer requested a thirty (30) day continuance of the pre-
liminary plat. Mr. Flanagan is requesting that the City proceed
with the preliminary plat that was originally considered with one
exception. He is requesting that the four lots fronting on Nicols
Road be platted as Lots 1 through 4, Block 1, and that the remainder
of the property be platted as an outlot at this time. The City
Administrator did provide considerable information on this preli-
minary plat with the April 6, 1982 packet, copies of which are
enclosed on pages through /S Also enclosed on pages
/6 through are copies oft1Te Cesar Cliff Commercial Addi-
tion and propos-eY grading plan for your information. The reasons
for platting an outlot are in order that a grading plan can be
worked out for the entire area prior to creating any additional
lots. The four lots being platted at this time are of adequate
grades or require minimum grading. The outlot will require a sub-
stantial amount of fill in order to develop the lots at the required
grade.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THE MATTER: To approve or deny the
preliminary plat in accordance with the information and conditions
reviewed by the City Council at the 4-6-82 meeting and found again
in the support information as described above.

PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL ADDITION
D. Seven J. Flanagan for Preliminary Plat Approval of Cedar Cliff
Commercial Addition -- The revised preliminary plat for Cedar Cliff
Commercial Addition has been received and is in order for considera-
tion by the City Council. The City Council had directed the City
staff and County to look at the platting of the commercial area
in regard to providing access by a cul de sac off Cliff Road which
is shown as Steven Court and direct access onto Nicols Road. The
applicant has responded to the requirement and concerns of the
City and is proposing the revised plat for City Council considera-
tion. The proposed plat will contain fourteen commercial lots
(ten of the fourteen lots containing at least one acre in size).
There are four commercial lots which are approximately one-half
acre in size. Lots 1-4, Block 1, will have direct access to Nicols
Road. And providing four lots along Nicols Road, there can still
be two accesses to the property in cross easements between the
lots to minimize the amount of direct access. The cross easements
will be provided as a part of the final platting. Lots 5-10 will
have access from Stevens Court and no direct access will be allowed
off of Scott Trail to Lots 5-10, Block 1. Lots 1-4, Block 2, will
still have access from Scott Trail. It is the City staff's under-
standing that Lots 1-4 will be the last phase to be constructed.,
within the development. This development will be phased; the first
phase will be Lots 1-4, Block 1; second phase will be Lots 5-10,
Block 1; and the third phase will be Lots 1-4, Block 2. It is
also the City staff's understanding that the reason for phasing
is the approximate 135,000 cubic feet of fill required for the
development proposal, and to obtain this much fill at one time
would be nearly impossible. The Public Works Director will address
the grading and drainage in detail in regard to the fill required
in the phasing. Ordinance 52 does not require any lot size for
commercial lots in an LB. The only requirements in regard to the
lots are setbacks from property lines and roadways and lot coverage
for the building. The one-half acre to acre lots are adequately
sized to provide lots for office buildings. In reviewing the pre-
liminary plat, the conditions that were placed for the preliminary
plat at the October 21, 1981 planning report have been met in regard
to access off Scott Trail and other considerations. The only addi-
tional requirements for the Cedar Cliff Commercial Addition at
this time are:
A detailed landscape plan shall be approved by the City
for Lots 1, 7, 8 of Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2, because
this area will abut the residents in Cedar Cliff Addition.
This landscaping is the main buffering area between the
office and the residential lots. An adequate landscape
bond shall also be provided and not released until one year
after the landscaping has been completed.
►a
Agenda Information Memo
April 2, 1982
Page Seventeen
2. A landscape plan shall be required with all other lots at
the time development occurs. An adequate landscapte bond
shall also be required for each lot and not released until
one year after the landscaoine has been completed.
The plat should be subject to Dakota County Plat Commission's
review and comments.
4. There should be a restrictive access on the west side of
Scott Trail so that access to Lots 5-10 shall be by Steven
Court vs. Scott -Trail.
5. All buildings shall require the same architectural and
building materials on all sides of the building when pro-
posed in order that the building will not have an unat-
tractive side.
6. All trash receptacles shall be incorporated in the side
of the building or attached to the building and maintained
with the same architectural characteristics of the building.
7. The final plat shall incorporate the first phase for Lots
1-4, Block 1. Lots 5-10, Block 1 and 1-4, Block 2, shall
.,. be platted as an outlot until the second phase is ready
to be developed.
The aforementioned data was coordinated by the City Planner, Mr.
Dale Runkle. Enclosed on page 49 for additional information
is a copy of the preliminary plat as revised for Cedar Cliff Commer-
cial Addition and on page 50 a copy of the grading plan.
The Director of Public Works, Tom Colbert, has submitted the
following comments: A revised preliminary plat in comformance
with the concept approval recently approved by Council action for
the Cedar Cliff Commercial Addition has been submitted for formal
Council approval on a preliminary plat basis. In reviewing the
grading and drainage plan for the preliminary plat, it appears
that approximately 133,000 cubic yards of fill would be required
to make all fourteen lots developable. Because the developer does
not have the necessary excess fill to accommodate this at the
present time, he has indicated that he intends to develop this
in phases in the following manner:
Phase 1: Lots 1-4, fronting Nicols Road
Phase 2: Lots 5-10, gaining access from Cliff Road
through Steven Court
Phase 3: Lots 1-4, attaining access from Scott Trail
13
Agenda Information Memo
April 2, 1982
Page Eighteen
The developer has indicated that there is sufficient excess material
on the site to provide for the development of Lots 1-4 fronting
on Nicols Road. Subsequent phases would. be developed as material
becomes available. The grading plan provides for construction
of a berm along the north boundary adjacent to residential proper-
ties.
Because of the proposed phase development, staff would recommend
that the final plat for the first phase incorporate the proposed
four lots on Nicols Road with the remainder being platted as outlots
to maintain flexibility regarding additions pertaining to grading,
drainage, streets and utility requirements at the time of their
proposed development.
Although four lots are proposed to take access from Nicols Road,
it is recommended that there be a maximum number of two driveway
entrances with the necessary cross easements to the appropriate
lots to insure adequate access. The southerly access should be
restricted to a minimum of 275 feet from the center line of Cliff
Road. It is also .recommended that that section of Nicols Road
be upgraded from Cliff Road to at least Erin Lane to accommodate
the proposed future development of these lots taking direct access
from Nicols Road. Although Nicols Road is technically Dakota County
Road 28, the County intends to turn it back to the City in the
near future for perpetual maintenance; therefore, it is doubtful
that the County would participate in the cost of this upgrading.
Therefore, it is recommended that this development be responsible
for 50% of the cost of upgrading Nicols Road from Cliff Road to
Erin Lane with the other 50% being the responsibility of the commer-
cial properties located within the Mari Acre Additions. Future
upgrading of Nicols Road further to the north would be required
when the commercial shopping center was developed on the northern
end of Mari Acres Second Addition.
Because this preliminary plat is different from the one that was
discussed at the planning commission public hearing of October
27, 1981, the engineering recommendations have been revised to
the following.
1. A storm sewer system must be constructed from Mari Acres
Pond (AP -9) to the east line of Phase 1 and continued in
the future to handle the drainage requirements necessitated
by the development of any phase construction.
2. A maximum of two driveway entrances only will be allowed
onto Nicols Road with the southerly most driveway being
a minimum of 275 feet north of the center line of Cliff
Road.

L'
Agenda Information Memo
April 2, 1982

3. Only one entrance will be allowed onto Cliff Road, the center
line of which being located 327 feet west of the center
line of Scott Trail.
4. Restrictive access control be dedicated adjacent to Cliff
Road, Nicols Road, and the west side of Scott Trail with
the exception of those three previously discussed access
points.
5. This development escrow is calculated assessment responsi-
bility for the upgrading of Nicols Road from Cliff Road
to Erin Lane.
6. A landscaping berm be constructed adjacent to the residential
area as a condition of the first phase development.
The Director of Public Works will be available to discuss in further
detail these conditions with the City Council at the meeting on
April 6.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS MATTER: To approve or deny the
revised preliminary plat of Cedar Cliff Commercial Addition.

Iaxington South PD
April 28, 1982
Page two
At the present time, there are 92 units that have been developed or platted
that are in the 1-1 land use category of the Iexington South PD. The esti-
mated number of units to be developed in the R-1 category is 217. The 92
developed or platted R-1 units are on 85.6 acres with the total amount of
R-1 land in the Lexington South PD being 87 acres. Therefore, the land de-
signated for R-1 use in the Ip--axgtcn South PD is nearly saturated with
only 92 of the expected 217 units.
There are 203 units that have been developed or platted that are in the R-2
land use category of the Lexington South PD. There are 1,633 potential R-2
units in the Lexington South PD. The 203 developed or platted R-2 units are
on 93.9 acres with the total amount of R-2 land in the Lexington South PD
being 326.6 acres. Therefore, the land designated for R-2 use in the Lex-
ington South PD is only 28% saturated with 232.7 acres yet to be developed.
The 232.7 acres is available for development of the remaining 1,430 R-2
dwelling units that are projected in the rax natcn South PD.
At the present time, there has been no development or platting of any R-3
or R-4 land in the Lexington South PD. However, it has been projected that
there will be 1,800 R-3 units and 1,636 R-4 units developed in the Lexington
South PD.
In conclusion, it appears that there is considerable development yet to take
place in the Lexington South PD. Most of the future development will occur
in the R-2, R-3, R-4 and commercial areas with much of the R-1 land already
developed.

0AKWOOD HEIGHTS CONDOMINIUMS - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The application of Countryside Builders and Jerry Lagro for preliminary
plat approval of Oakwood Heights Condominiums consisting of 9.95 acres and 60
condominium dwelling units was then considered by the Council. Mr. Darrel
Anderson, architect, and Mr. Lagro were present. The project would consist of
12 different unit plans and three building types on a very rough parcel of
property north of Wilderness Run Road in a portion of the Lexington South
Planned Development. Mr. Anderson indicated.that the developer would attempt
to save as many oak trees as possible, that a tot lot would be provided, that
a private street would be provided on the north, there would be two spaces per
unit for parking and additional guest parking would be available. He re-
quested the increase in density to 64 units, but indicated that he misunder-
stood the density requirements under the ordinance, basing that request on
6,000 square feet per unit. The units would be 800 to 1,300 square feet in
size and there would be a minimum 40 foot setback along Wilderness Run Road.
It was noted that in order to comply with the ordinance requirements, that it
would be necessary to reduce the density to approximately 57.5 dwelling units
in the area zoned planned development, allowing 3 to 6 dwelling units per
acre. If the streets are all public, it would also reduce the acreage by
about 2 additional acres for computation of density. The prices would range
from $58,000.00 to $82,000.00 per unit.
It was noted that lower density generally is provided around the area, except to the east. Mr. Anderson indicated that the developer would comply
with the density requirements of the City. McCrea moved, Turnham seconded the

B. Larry Miller (Nicols Landing) for Variance to Ordinance #73
(Amusement Devices) to Extend Hours of Operation until 12:00 Mid-
night -- At the November 4, 1981 City Council meeting, a conditional
use permit was granted to Mr. Larry Miller to operate more than
three (3) amusement devices at Nicols Landing (previously the A
& W Restaurant). The ordinance does not allow hours of operation
for the amusement arcade to be later than 10:00 p.m. At the time
of conditional use permit approval, the applicant did request that
the restaurant be permitted to continue to be open until 12:00
p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. The City was assured that
the machine portion of the restaurant portion of the restaurant
could be closed at 10:00 p.m. to comply with the ordinance. There-
fore, the action taken by the City Council was as follows: "Motion
to approve the application, subject to the review by staff as to
the maximum number of machines that could appropriately be placed
in the establishment and further, that the portion of the building
used for the amusement devices be closed at 10:00 p.m. to comply
with the ordinance in full compliance of Ordinance #73, Amusement
Devices." The City has received a request from Mr. Miller that
the City approve a request to allow the amusement devices to be
operated until 12:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights to remain
consistent with the restaurant operation. Enclosed on page
_2! is a letter from Mr. Miller requesting the new hours of
operation for amusement devices.

DATE: APRIL 26, 1982
SUBJECT: EXTRACTION AND CRUSHING OF GRAVEL AT BORCHERT-INGERSOLL, INC. PROPERTY
3275 Dodd Road, Eagan, Minnesota 55121
PURPOSE: To extract and process gravel for use in I-494 construction project
located between Minnesota River and Highway 55. The removal of the
material will better adapt the site terrain for future industrial
development, while maintaining the general character of the topography
during the interim period.

ing, Inc. will extract 200,000 to 300,000 cubic yards of gravel from
the site. The material will be crushed and graded by an on-site
plant, stockpiled and subsequently hauled to the construction site.
The operation of the crushing plant will not be continuous during the
two seasons.
Ingress and egress to the site will be via the access road from
Highway 149 or via Borchert Lane as shown on the attached drawing.
Hours of operation will be limited to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and

WETLANDS flood level of the adjacent wetland,.i.e., above the 850 contour. Ero-
AND sion control, by means of hay bales with snow fence, or Envirofence,
EROSION will. prevent sediment from reaching the wetland during the period of
CONTROL: extraction and grading. The extraction area will be graded in a manner
'to assure that drainage will be intercepted by the erosion control
devices during construction.
Previous to extraction, the topsoil will be'stripped and stockpiled.
After completion of extraction operations, and establishment of subgrade
in conformance with the attached grading plan, the topsoil will be
deposited over the disturbed area. The disturbed area will then be
returned to crop production.
It should be recognized that the quantity of extracted material cannot
be precisely determined, and consequently, the ultimate grading shown
may vary. The attached drawing indicates the maximum amount of antici-
pated extraction.

APPLICATION SUBMr=:
An application has been submitted for a conditional use permit to allow a fast
food restaurant in a Neighborhood Business District located at 1973 Silver Bell
Center.
COMMENTS
The applicants are proposing to open a fast food Mexican restaurant in the Sil-
ver Bell Center,. The restaurant will have seating available for consumption of
food on the premises and food will also be prepared for oomsumption off the pre-
mises.
According to the zoning ordinance, a retail shopping center in a Neighborhood
Business District, which the Silver Bell Center is, may have a restaurant with
sit-down facilities only. Because the applicants are proposing to have food
available for consumption off the premises, a oonditional use permit is required.
As can be seen from the attached diagram of the restaurant, seating will be avail-
able for consumption of food on the premises with approximately 40 seats avail-
able.
Staff would like to point out that the Silver Bell Shopping Center appears as a
General Business District on the zoning map and in reality the zoning is Neigh-
borhood Business.
If a conditional use permit is granted, all other ordinance requirements shall
be amplied with.

JUAN A. TAM MUM, IW.
The application of Roger Erickson and Ed Leiei, dba Jatco, Inc., for a
conditional use permit to allow a Mexican fast food restaurant in a Neighbor-
hood Business District located at 1973 Silver Bell Center was convened by the
Chairman. It was noted that there appeared to be adequate parking for this
type of restaurant, which was to expect 508 sit-down and 508 take-out busi-
ness. This was assuming that this Shopping Center continued to be a low-
volume center and that the once proposes] hamburger and beer establishment was
not being developed. The members also expressed concern that the applicant be
responsible for any necessary receptacles for customers that would choose to
eat their food outside of the building and dispose of the waste. Member Krob
moves] to recommend approval of the conditional use, subject to compliance with
applicable ordinance provisions . It was seconded by McCrea. All voted in
favor.

Trunk Storm Sewer Project 321 and 326 while Overhill Farm Addition, Project
332 shows a 7% decrease when compared to preliminary report costs.
It is felt cost increases for Project 321 and 326 are due to preliminary re-
port costs being prepared in January 1981 and also due to an abnormal winter
which increased groundwater conditions. Soil borings taken by contractors ex-
perienced significantly wetter conditions than experienced by soil borings

Re: McCarthy Condemnation Action
Dear Tom:
April 19, 1982
AREA CODE 612
TELE"ONE 464.4224
This is an update on the Wescott Road and McCarthy Pond condemnation actions.
You may recall that the hearing on the Petition for the condemnation of the
pond took place in December. We recently received the decision of the Court
granting our Petition and appointing three commissioners. Immediately, Arnold
Kempe, the McCarthy's attorney, brought a motion which was heard on April 15
before Judge Kluck asking that the Petition be denied and that the City had no
right to be trespassing on the McCarthy property for the installation of the
pipe from the developed land to the north to the pond. You also will perhaps
remember that about 100 feet of pipe was installed on the McCarthy property in
September of 1981. The reason that Mr. Kempe has brought this motion is to
attempt to preserve his rights in the trespass action where he is also claiming
treble damages, contending that the City had no right to enter upon the land
for purposes of construction of the road or the construction of the pipe in
the pond. He claims that money was not paid into the Court in either case
timely, and therefore, the City did not have the right to enter upon the
property and that the quick,take was not effective. In addition, he cited
what he claims are procedural problems and as yet I do not have that decision
from Judge Kluck. I have the impression that the Court's decision will be that
he will grant the Petition, appoint the commissioners, and date the taking at
the time that the commissioners' award comes out rather than September when the
pipe was installed which would be necessary for a quick take type of of action.
That would allow Mr. Kempe to continue his trespass action and of course he
would have to provde that there was a trespass when that case comes up.
I understand from Tom Colbert that there may be a need for a sanitary sewer
line across the McCarthy property to the south of Wescott Road in the near future. Ap-
parently, there have been meetings with Jim Curry concerning the development of
land to the east of McCarthy's land, including a church site that apparently has
been acquired at the southwest corner of Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue.
That would mean that a third condemnation action would be necessary if develop-
ment does get started to the east and the City does allow that development to
occur. We have suggested several alternatives, including the developer escrow-
ing sufficient money to assure the City that the easement can be acquired,
hopefully without cost to the City. No specific proposal has been submitted

In talking about all of these issues, Mr. Kempe has suggested the following
settlement:
1. That the City would pay the $161,000 commissioners' award for the taking of
Wescott Road.
2. That the McCarthys would drop their trespass action.
1 3. That McCarthys would drop any motions that they have brought claiming pro-
cedural problems in the condemnation action.
4. That the City would then proceed with its hearing on the condemnation of
the pond and get a decision on that.
You will recall that at one time Mr. Kempe had duggested the payment of the
$161,000 award and that the Council at that time turned it down. He is, of
course, trying to use leverage now to force the City into settling but the
complicating factor again is another potential condemnation action across the
McCarthy land. We do have an appraisal for the pond of about $60,000 and one
possibility would be to try to negotiate all three easements at one time. I
don't expect, however,that McCarthys will reduce their demand below the $161,000
for Wescott Road and am not sure what wgsla happen to the others.

P.O. Box 656 (Cr. Ref 59b-12)
Montevideo, Minnnesota 56265
In your letter to Attorney General Warren Span.
naus you submit substantially the following:
FACTS
Minn. Stat. 911444.16 to 444.21 (1980) relate to the
authority of a municipality to establish within its Um -
its a storm sewer improvement tax district. The City of
Montevideo is considering establishing the entire city as
such a district. There would probably be a series of
storm sewer projects over a number of years covering
different parts of the city but when all projects are
completed, substantially all of the city would be bene•
flted. It is contemplated that the taxes authorized under
these statutes would be levied against all the property
in the district for each project although only part of
the district would be immediately affected by each
project.
QUESTION ONE
May the entire city be established as a singlestorm
sewer improvement tax district pursuant to sections
444.16 to 444.21, supra?
OPINION
Assuming the city will, as a whole, be generally
benefited by the proposed system of storm sewers, as
the statement of facts seem to suggest your question
is answered in the affirmative.
In essence, these statutes empower a municipality
to establish, within its corporate limits, a storm sewer
improvement tax district, to construct storm sewer sys.
tems within the district and to recover the cost thereof
by levying taxes on all taxable property within the
district. Implicit in this statutory scheme is the notion
that the area selected, for Inclusion in the district will
bear some rational relationship to the storm sewer pro.
jects to be undertaken therein. This requires that, at
the very least, such area be benefited, in a general way,
by these projects to an extent greater than the area,
If any, excluded. See generally, L(fteau v. Metropolitan
Sports Fac. Con m'n, 270 N.W.2d 749 (Minn. 1978);
Steiner v. Sullivan, 74 Minn. 498, 77 N.W. 286 (1898);
Maltby v. Tautges, 50 Minn. 248, 52 N.W. 868 (1892).
Where it is determined that virtually the entire
municipality will be so benefited, nothing in these sta-
tutes precludes the Inclusion of the entire municipality
within the boundaries of the district. It seems clear that
a district, whose boundaries are coterminous with those

partment of Natural Resources. 983M 3/31/82
of the municipality is "within" corporate limits as con-
templated by section 444.17.
QUESTION TWO
If it were found that, because of the topography,
some small sections in the district would not be directly
benefited by being drained, would this invalidate the
district?
OPINION
Your question is answered in the negative. In our
view, the validity of a district established under these
statutes is not dependent upon a finding that each par.
cel of property therein will be directly or specially bene-
fited by the contemplated projects. Analysis of direct
or special benefit to a particular parcel of property is
relevant only to situations in which a governmental unit
proposes to levy special assessments based upon such
benefits "without regard to cash valuations"; see Minn.
Const. art. X, 91; Edward Kraemer & Sons, Inc, v. Vil-
lage of Burnsville, 310 Minn. 32, 245 N.W.2d 445 (1976).
In contrast, expenditures supported by ad valorem
tax levies are judged in light of proper public purpose
or general benefits to the community or taxing dis-
trict. It seems clear that the provisions of sections
444.16 et seq. proceed from the notion that the storm
sewer system will be general benefit to the established
district and will be therefore supported by an ad valor-
em tax levied within the district. Sections 444.18, subd.
1, and 444.20 specifically provide that the cost of such
projects may be recovered by taxes levied on all taxable
property within the district. Taxes do not Include special
assessments. State v. Roselawn Cemetery Assn, 259
Minn. 479, 108 N.W.2d 305 (1961). e
Thus, assuming that the area comprising the dis-
trict has been reasonably determined as discussed in
our answer to question one, supra, the lack of direct
benefit to any particular parcel or parcels within the
district should be of no legal consequence.
QUESTION THREE
Does the reference in section 444.18 subd. to the
procedures in sections 429.031 to 429.081, which relate
to special assessments for local improvements, mean
that the taxes levied in the district are to be based
upon special benefits and that mailed notice must be
given to property owners, as provided in those sections,
when a storm sewer project is undertaken within the
district?
OPINION
The portion of your question dealing with special
benefits is answered in the negative by reference to our
answer to your second question, supra; the portion deal-
" We do not here address the question of the authority to
recover the cost of projects within a district by special
assessments under Minn. Stat. ch. 429 in addition to the
taxes authorized by Minn. Stat. §§ 444.16 at seq.
Ing with mailed notice is answered in the affirmative.
Section 444.18, subd. 1, empowers the city council
to construct and Improve storm sewer systems and re-
lated facilities within and for the district and subdivi-
sion 2 declares that "[t]he procedures of sections 429.031
to 429.081 shall apply when the council of a municipality
determines to make an improvement pursuant to this
section." The procedures referred to include provisions
for mailed notice to affected property owners of hear-
ings to be held in connection with special assessments
for local Improvements.
We think these provisions for mailed notice of
hearings apply when a storm sewer project Is under-
taken within the district. The intent seems to be to
make as certain as possible that affected property own-
ers are notified of the hearing process and afforded an
opportunity for Input particularily in view of the author.
Ity conferred upon the council by section 444.19 to fin-
ance the project by general obligation bonds issued
without an election.

Altkin County Attorney 983M
Courthouse Annex (c.r. 628, 700d13)
Aitkln, Minnesota 66431
In your letter to Attorney General Warren Span-
naus you present substantially the following
FACTS
Aitkin County Is in the introductory stages of a
Class "B" land exchange under the provisions of Minn.
Stat. H 94.341 to 94.347 (1980). This tax -forfeited county
land contains peat deposits and in some places the
deposits are In excess of twenty feet deep. You cite
Op. Atty. Gen. 983m, Feb. 9, 1968, which held that
lands forfeited to the state for nonpayment of taxes
are lands within the meaning of Minn. Stat. 8 92.461
and the county is prohibited from selling the tax -for-
feited land if it is chiefly valuable because of peat
deposits in commercial quantities.
QUESTION
If the county is prohibited from selling peat lands
in commercial quantities under Op. Atty. Gen. 983m,
Feb. 9, 1968, is the county prohibited from exchang-
ing peat lands In commercial quantities under the pro.
visions of Minn. Stat. 3894.341 to 94.347 (1980)?
OPINION
It is our opinion that tax -forfeited land, chiefly
valuable because of peat deposits in commercial quan-
tities is not exchangeable under the provisions of Minn.
Stat. H 94.341 to 94.347:
Minn. Stat. 3 92.461, supra, the law which governs
the sale or prohibition of the sale of peat lands, reads:
Subdivision 1. Peat lands withdrawn from sale.
All lands now or hereafter owned by the state which
MARCH 1982
are chiefly valuable by reason of deposits of peat
in commercial quantities are hereby withdrawn from
sale.
Subd. 2. Examination by commissioner of natural
resources. Before any state land is offered for sale
the commissioner of natural resources shall cause
such land to be examined to determine whether the
land is chiefly valuable by reason of deposits of
peat in commercial quantities.
The opinion dated February 9, 1968, supra, held:
it is the opinion of this office that lands forfeited
to the state for nonpayment of taxes are considered
within the meaning of Section 92.461, but that such
lands may be sold if the Commissioner of Conserva.
tion (Natural Resources) determines that the lands
are not chiefly valuable by reason of deposits of
peat in commercial quantities.
Tax -forfeited lands under the jurisdiction of the
county may be exchanged for private or federal lands
in the same county and the exchange is defined as
a Class B land exchange. Mltm. Stat. 994.342, subd. 2
reads as follows:
All lands heretofore or hereafter acquired by the
state through tax -forfeiture, held subject to a trust
in favor of taxing districts, and under the control
of county authorities for classification, appraisal, and
sale shall be known as Class B land for the purposes
of sections 94.341 to 94.347. (Emphasis added.)
Additionally, Minn. Stat. 3 94.344, subd. 2, which
provides one of the conditions under which Class B
lands may be exchanged, reads:
No Class B land which is not classified for sale,
and no Class B land, however, classified, lying within
any zone or district which Is restricted against any
use .for which the land may be suitable shall be
given in exchange for any privately owned land. (Em-
phasis added.)
The basis for this opinion logically follows the
opinion dated February 9, 1968, supra. In the preced.
ing quoted portions of the land exchange statutes, the
former, defining Class B land as being tax -forfeited
land subject to exchange and the latter as one of the
conditions of the exchange, clearly disposes of the
question of when Class B land may be exchanged.
Tax -forfeited peat lands are not under the control
of the county for "classification appraisal and sale"
until the Commissioner of Natural Resources has de-
termined that the tax -forfeited peat land is not chiefly
valuable by reason of deposits of peat in commercial
quantities.
As recited in the opinion dated February 9, 1968,
supra, this conclusion is also supported by the long-
standing interpretation of the Commissioner of Nat.
ural Resources. The Commissioner of Natural Resour-
ces has been making a commercial quantity peat de-
termination on tax -forfeited land for sale as required
by Minn. Stat. 392.461, subd. 2 (1980), supra. We have
also been informed that this requirement has been
applied to tax -forfeited land exchanges in other coun-
ties in the state.
Thus, it is our opinion that the prohibition against
sale of certain peat lands contained In Minn. Stat.
§92.461 precludes the exchange of such lands under
Minn. Stat. H 94.341 to 94.347, supra.

Re: Impact of New Statutes Regarding Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
One of the first legislative enactments of the 1982 session involved certain
amendments to the driving under the influence statutes and the implied consent
law, the latter specifying the terms under which a test for a blood alcohol
concentration may be obtained and providing for the revocation of one's
drivers license under certain conditions. Included in these amendments are
certain provisions enacted to circumvent legal objections to these charges,
however, we do not expect a significant difference in the number of cases
tried or the success ratio due to these amendments. The amendments which do
appear to be significant in the prosecution of these offenses are as follows:
1. The redefinition of the second DWI offense within five years, or a third
DWI offense within ten years, as a gross misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of
$1,000 and/or one year in jail. It is important that a plea negotiation of
the first offense to a careless driving or a reckless driving charge, quite
common in the past, will not invoke the gross misdemeanor penalties upon the
occurrence of a second offense within the time limit specified above.
2. The driver, upon the refusal of a blood alcohol test or the blood alcohol
test which exceeds legal limits (.108 blood alcohol content) will receive a
seven day temporary license after which he shall suffer the revocation of his
license until such time as the period of revocation expires or the revocation
is overturned by a court. The individual may entitled to a limited work
license during this period of revocation. In the past, the revocation was
postponer] until such time as the driver waived a hearing on the revocation, or
the Court held the revocation to be proper. This will result in the early
removal of drinking drivers from the streets.
3. The City will be permitted to submit to the State test results between
the .078 blood alcohol and .108 blood alcohol concentration and, 'in that event
SO

the criminal action may or may not be pursued. However, upon the receipt of
two such test results, the State Department of Transportation may require the
driver to submit to alcohol dependency treatment or revoke the individual's
license for up to 90 days.
4. There is no longer a requirement that a blood test be offered in every
case. As a result, the Police Department may be able to use the breathalyzer
in more instances with a time savings to the police officers involved.
Subsequent to the passage of this new legislation, I have met with the staff
of the Eagan Police Department and discussed changes in police procedure which
will have to be instituted. Due to the public concern expressed in this area
and due to the clear legislative intent that a second driving under the
influence charge should be considered the more severe gross misdemeanor, again
a gross misdemeanor may not be charged if the first offense was plea nego-
tiated to a careless or reckless driving charge, our office proposes to adopt
the policy whereby all DWI charges which appear to have a good chance of
success will not be plea negotiated. In the past, many of the first time DWI
offenders were allowed to plea to a lesser charge even if there was a high
chance of success in proving up the DWI charge. A primary reason of this was
to dispose of as many cases as possible, as early in the process as possible,
with a resulting cost savings to the City. In addition, with the negotiated
plea, the defendants received a longer term of license revocation and were
subjected to the same fine by most Judges and the same impact on insurance
rates by most insurance carriers. The result of our proposed change of policy
to deny plea negotiations will no doubt be the substantial increase in the
number of cases set for jury trial and at least some increase in the number of
cases actually tried. It has been estimated by one of the local prosecutors
that bringing a DWI charge through the criminal process including full trial
will cost a municipality as much as $1,200 in police officer and attorney
time. In the event the result is a guilty verdict, the defendant can be fined
up to $500, however, the actual fine imposed is usually somewhat less and this
fine is then split between the County and the municipality.
A second increase in cost to the municipality is anticipated through the
prosecution of second offenses as gross misdemeanors. Our office presently
attends arraignments, pre -trials and court trials, and jury trials and on
these various dates many cases are scheduled together. Therefore, the cost of
processing any individual case is reduced substantially. The prosecuting
attorneys within Dakota County, including our office, have attempted to work
out a system with the Dakota County Judges where it will not be necessary for
the prosecutor to appear at the first appearance for the gross misdemeanors.
However, the second appearance (omnibus hearing) and trials will be set at
times different than the normal appearances made by our office. These appear-
ances can only be made in Hastings. With very little upon which to base an
opinion, I would estimate that the City will prosecute 20-30 of such gross
misdemeanor DWI charges per year and these additional appearances will result
in additional cost to the City.
S1
,City Council
Page Three
Finally, under existing statutes or practice, the fines obtained through the
prosecution of a gross misdemeanor offense are not split between the City and
the County but rather paid solely to the County. While a change in this
policy may seem appropriate with regards to gross misdemeanors prosecuted by
the City, no one in the Court system, County Attorney's office, or among the
City prosecutors are presently aware of whether .this procedure has been
altered or. may be altered without specific legislation.
With the exception of the driving under the influence charges, prosecution of
gross misdemeanors will remain at the County level in Dakota County. In
Hennepin and Ramsey County, municipalities will begin to prosecute all gross
misdemeanors as of January 1, 1983. There has been much speculation that
these changes foreshadow the prosecution of gross misdemeanors at the
municipal level on a state wide basis.
Subject bo further discussion with the City or Police Department, our office
does intend, with regards to offenses occurring after the effective date of
the new legislation, April 1, 1982, to follow the new policies of requiring a
straight plea to the driving under the influence charge on a first time
offense and the prosecution of a second time offense as a gross misdemeanor.
Thank you for your attention bo this matter.

The bond market struggles to come back, but with even a modest improvement the pent up demand for
long term funds surfaces and interest rates head up again.
There is no doubt that our concern of ages ago was
justified: Overuse of tax exempt financing has
diluted the interest saving inherent in tax exemption.
LHE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Monday, April 12, 1982
++++++++++
Minnesota general obligation municipal bond interest rate limits are now one percent above the Bond
Buyer Index of 20, 20 year bonds, rounded to the next highest full percent, as detennined by the
Commissioner of Finance on the 20th of each preceding month. G.O. bonds payable from special assess-
ments [sic], as well as non-G.O. bonds, have a one percent higher limit (15% for April).
New ideas keep entering the tax exempt bond market such as "puts", letters of credit, insurance,
stepped coupon bonds, zero coupon bonds, mandatory call tern bonds, each of which is said to be a
"sure" way to reduce interest rates. Some have promise, but, as with some old "new" ideas, such as
deep discount bids there are apt to be trade-offs. We tend to stay with proven ways until a clear
advantage is shown from novel approaches.

Eden Prairie, Minnesota, completed its $18 million tax increment financing. Unique not only because
of its size (for tax increment projects in this area, at least) and because it was insured (first
AMBAC insured G.O. bonds in Minnesota), the financing is particularly noteworthy because of its pur-
pose. The City will now complete an extensive complex of Federal, Interstate, State, County and City
highway interchanges for which funds had dried up which will greatly improve traffic flow, public
safety, the prosperity of the City's major commercial center and the City's own economic base.
