• MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1984
SUBJECT: AGENDA INFORMATION MEMO/FEBRUARY 21, 1984 COUNCIL MEETING
After approval of the February 7, 1984 regular City Council minutes
and the agenda for the February 21, 1984 regular City Council
meeting, the following items are in order for consideration:
FIRE DEPARTMENT
A. Fire Department -- There are no items to be considered under
Fire Department at this time.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
B. Police Department -- There are no items to be considered under
Police Department at this time.
• PARK & RECREATION DEPARTMENT
C. Park & Recreation Department -- There are no items to be con-
sidered under Parks & Recreation Department at this time.
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
D. Public Works Department -- There are no items to be considered
under Public Works Department at this time.
PROTECTIVE INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT
E. Protective Inspections Department -- During 1983, the 1978 Nova
(used police car) was approved for replacement in the Building In-
spection Department. The City authorized the purchase of a 1984
one-half ton pickup (F100) in the amount of $8,916 from Southview
Chevrolet. The department's budget for equipment certificates in
1983 has been considered at $10,500, and due to a price break, the
equipment, according to specifications, was purchased at the $8,916
figure. This equipment has been delivered and is being used pri-
marily by the Assistant Building Inspector/Fire Marshal. The Chief
Building Inspector anticipated replacement for the 1975 Ford F100
pickup that has been used by the Fire Marshal. This unit is experi-
encing a number of mechanical problems as well as body problems
and should be considered for replacement. The Building Inspector
• had anticipated the replacement this year and requested $10,500
in the operating budget for 1984 which was omitted by the City Coun-
cil with the understanding it would be later considered as a possi-

ble equipment certificate. The City Administrator addressed the
City Council at the January 18 City Council meeting and was advised
to contact Peoples Natural Gas Company and any other users of the
small compact pickups to determine whether these pickups are proving
to be more efficient than the full size pickups for performance,
longevity and resale. The Chief Building Inspector has made a com-
parison of the compact pickups and standard pickups and a copy of
his response is found on page —3. . The Chief Building Inspector
has also had the 1975 For assessed by the maintenance garage and
the repair work that is needed is estimated at approximately $1,000
with no consideration for labor. Currently, that pickup is not
being used due to a break in transmission problem. Enclosed on
pages —+-- through S" is a copy of a memorandum from Chief Buil-
ding Inspector Peterson to the City Administrator reviewing the
equipment problems.
Because the Inspection Department is working primarily in new sub-
divisions and often streets and driveways are in a rough preliminary
grade status, the F100 has proven to be very efficient as a vehicle
for those conditions. The analysis between a full size vehicle
and compact is brief and a more comprehensive study can be made •
if the City Council so desires. If the City Council desires to
purchase a second half -ton pickup, Southview Chevrolet will recog-
nize the $8916 bid for a 1984 heavy duty half -ton pickup cr;mpatible
with the pickup purchased in December 1983. This equipment would
be purchased from equipment c:crtificates in 1984.
For City Council reference, the other vehicle that is used in the
Building Inspection Department is a used police Citation which the
Chief Building Inspector uses for meetings, inspections and general
use within the department. The mechanical and electrical inspectors
are paid as consultants and therefore use their own vehicles. The
new plan check personnel to be hired by the City will perform most
of his or her work in City Hall and would utilize, for the present,
the Citation jointly with the Chief Building Inspector.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny authoriza-
tion to purchase an F100 half -ton pickup in the amount of $8,916
from Southview Chevrolet as an authorized expenditure under 1984
equipment certificates.

FROM: DALE PETERSON, CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIA
RE: COMPARISON OF COMPACT PICKUPS AND STANDARD PICKUPS
FOR DEPARTMENT USE
I have discussed American made compact pickups with Peoples
Natural Gas, Eagan Public Works and shop mechanics at two
dealerships. I also have studied the U.S. Department of
Energy's 1984 EPA fuel economy estimates.
The Chevrolet GMC and Ford compacts with six cylinder engines
and automatic transmission have provided their owners with a
fuel consumption of 19 - 22 miles per gallon and maintenance
costs were good and somewhat less than the standard pickup.
Standard pickups bythe same manufacturers with the same equip-
ment, bought with a 300 - 310 cubic inch V8 engine, averaged
13 - 17 miles per gallon and the base price was $300 to $500
more. Peoples Natural Gas reported that their experience with
compact pickups manufactured outside the United States have
proved unsatisfactory and American made are satisfactory for
ordinary uses. All of the operators and mechanicss were doubt-
ful though that the compacts would be feasible for the amount
of off-street use demanded by the department because of the
lower ground clearances and the difference of the material
strength used in the full-size pickups. It also is unknown
whether or not the compact pickups will give the five-year
service necessary for long term efficiency and economy.. Most
of the reports that I have been checking have been in generalities,.
but if you need specifics, I will attempt to get them for you.
I will request quotations immediately upon receipt of your answer
on which type of unit the department should purchase.

RE: UNIT #501, 1975 FORD F100
The manual three -speed transmission Of Unit 501 failed on or about
January 18. This was in addition to the already dangerous brakes.
We had hoped to keep it operating as it was the most feasible one
to use until the replacement for 502 was authorized.
Bill Branch, Superintendent of Public Works, prepared a repair estimate
on 501 for me in hopes it would be economically feasible to make it last
for a few more miles. The resulting estimate using almost all in -Muse
labor was $917. arra that was to do the mininm repairs as required by
law.
is I have enclosed Bill's cost breakdown for your use. It would be unfair
for the inspectors to use their own cars as the City's 20fi per mile car
allowance is about ane -half of the actual cost to operate their own vehicle.
Thank you for your consideration of this problem.

• Agenda Information Memo
February 21, 1984 City Council Meeting
Page Three
There are six (6) items on the agenda referred to as the Consent
Agenda requiring one (1) motion by the City Council. If the City
Council desires to discuss any of the items in further detail, those
items should be removed from the Consent Agenda and placed under
Additional Items unless the discussion required is brief.
PERSONNEL ITEMS
A. Personnel Items -- There are two (2) personnel items for consi-
deration.
1. The City has been able to obtain a level one custodian
through the Minnesota Emergency Employment Development
Act (MEED) for six months at a rate of compensation of
$4.00 per hour. There is no expense to the City of Eagan.
The person is Jeff McGuffee. Mr. McGuffee is our park
foreman's, Jim McGuffee, brother. Mr. McGuffee will not
be working under any supervision or at any time with his
brother. Since the position is not a full-time position
• with the City and is being sponsored through the MEED pro-
gram, there is no conflict with our existing personnel
policy.
2. The City has budgeted, in the Police Department budget,
effective March 1, 1984, the hiring of a full-time police
officer. Chief of Police Berthe is recommending that
Steven Grimm, who is currently a cadet with the Eagan
Police Department, be appointed by the City Council as
a full-time officer. Mr. Grimm has completed all of his
schooling and P.O.S.T. requirements to become a licensed
police officer in the State of Minnesota.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the hiring of
Mr. McGuffee under the MEED program and Mr. Grimm as a new patrol
officer to be effective March 1, 1984.
MEED AGREEMENT
B. MEED Agreement -- Dakota County has forwarded to the City for
execution the form MEED agreement covering the employment by the
City of Eagan of persons under the MEED program. Presently, there
are four such employees. These include Annette Kinstler in Adminis-
tration, John Bergstrom in Protective Inspections, James Strum in
Parks & Recreation and Jeff McGuffee in General Government Buil-
dings.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To authorize the Mayor and
City Clerk to execute the MEED agreement.

CONTRACT 82-7/CHANGE ORDER #2
C. Contract 82-7, change Order #2, Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition
(Streets & Utilities) -- Change Order #2 for this contract consists
of three parts:
A. Prior to the completion of the street surfacing in the
third addition, the developer had not completed his overall
site grading. Subsequently, in order to complete the
grading on the north end of the project, it was necessary
that the material be moved over the partially completed
street construction. It was agreed that this development
would be responsible for any subsequent damage to the road
bed caused by this dirt moving operation. (Add $4,713.08.)
B. The contract proposal inadvertantly omitted a requested
bid item to complete the storm sewer system as designed
within the approved plans. Subsequently, this work was
performed on a time and material basis. (Add $662.35.)
C. During the site grading and excavation work by the develo-
per, the developer buried his tree removal and miscellane- •
ous debris along the alignment of the proposed storm sewer
which resulted in extra costs to correct the pipe bedding
for the storm sewer. Due to the fact that this tree and
debris burial was unauthorized within the City easement,
the developer is responsible for the costs incurred by
the City's contractor. (Add $1,561.54.)
All costs associated with this change order will become the respon-
sibility of the development and included in the final assessment
figures. The total increase for Change Order #2 to be added to
Contract #82-7 is $6,936.97.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve Change Order #2
to Contract 82-7 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
all related documents.

FEASIBILITY REPORT/PROJECT 394
D. Project 394, Receive Feasibility Report/Order Plans a Specifi-
cations (Yankee Doodle Reservoir - Repainting) -- The approved 1984
utility budget provided for the repainting of the Yankee Doodle
Road 5.0 M.G. water reservoir. This reservoir has not been re-
painted since its construction in 1971. Subsequently, the Public
Works Director requested that a feasibility report be prepared and
it is now being presented to the Council, a copy is enclosed on
pages _ ct_ through J$ , for your review and approval. Due to
the fact that there are no assessments associated with this project
and that the funding has been provided for in the 1984 utility bud-
get, no public hearing is necessary. Therefore, the Public Works
Director is requesting authorization from the City Council to pre-
pare detailed plans and specifications which will be reviewed by
the Council in further detail during March.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the feasibility
report for Project 394 (Yankee Doodle Reservoir Repainting) and
approve the preparation of detailed plans and specifications for

• SCOPE: This project provides for the repainting of the exterior of the 5.0
million gallon water reservoir. This reservoir is located along Yankee Doodle
Road, just west of State Highway 149.
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The subject project is feasible from an en-
gineering.standpoint. It is most effectively bid as a single project.
DISCUSSION: The 5.0 M.G. Yankee Doodle Road water reservoir was constructed
and originally painted in 1971. The reservoir has not yet been repainted.
In 1980, this reservoir was completed drained and thoroughly inspected.
This inspection indicated deterioration of the exterior surface painting. The
interior paint system, however, had not yet deteriorated to any significant
degree. Tiny paint blisters were evident, but no peeling or flaking of the
existing paint system had occurred.
• Our recent inspection of this reservoir site confirmed that the exterior
paint coating has significantly deteriorated. Among the more noticeable signs
•
of this situation is a large amount of rust formation on the relatively flat
tank roof, and rock chips and carved graffiti on the sides. The coating on
the tank interior as observed from the manhole in the top appears to still be
in quite good condition.
It is recommended that only the exterior tank coating be replaced with
this project.
In light of the relatively good condition of the tank interior coating and
the continued use of an effective cathodic protection system which minimizes
corrosion, it is believed that significant additional life is attainable from
the existing interior coating.
Page 1.
9249b
• We do recommend, however, that the interior be inspected annually to de-
termine when recoating will be required. Recoating will probably be required
in another 3 to 5 years.
The original tank exterior coating system was a Tnemec No. 77 Chem -Prime
metal primer followed by two coats of Tnemec Exterior Tnemec-Gloss Enamel.
The total dry paint thickness was checked and found to range from 4 - 6 mils.
The total thickness averaged just slightly over 4 mils.
Due to the severly deteriorated condition of the existing coating, it is
recommended that the entire exterior tank surface be given a commercial sand
blast cleaning to remove the present coating system and prepare the surface
for proper paint application and adherance.
It is further proposed that a new coating system consisting of two epoxy-
• polyamide prime coats followed by a finish coat of an aliphatic polyurethane
enamel be applied to the tank exterior. This proposed paint system is superi-
or to the existing paint system. It is designed to provide high resistance to
abrasion and corrosion, to provide long-term retention of initial color and
gloss, and to provide easy removal of graffiti. This is the same exterior
paint system as that used on both the 2.0 M.G. Cliff Road reservoir and the
4.0. M.G. Safari Pass reservoir.
Currently, the City name "Eagan" is not painted on this reservoir. Prior
to development of the repainting project specifications, it is recommended
that the Eagan City Council determine whether it wishes to have "Eagan"
painted on the reservoir as part of this project.
Relative to project scheduling, this reservoir repainting was originally
planned for the 1983 construction season. It was moved back to the 1984 con -
40. struction season to allow the new 4.0 M.G. Safari Pass reservoir to effective -

•
ly increase Eagan's total water storage capacity and to minimize, as much as
possible, the impact of taking the 5.0 M.G. reservoir out -of service for the
repainting period.
The timing of this project within the construction season is very criti-
cal. It is essential that this water reservoir be operational during the hot,
dry months in which water usage is greatest. Therefore, it is recommended
that the project commence as early in spring as weather permits, and that the
project completion date be set at June 15, 1984. It is also recommended that
substantial liquidated damages be specified to ensure that this project is ex-
pedited.
COST ESTIMATE: The project costs are included below. It is anticipated that
this project would be bid on a lump sum basis.
Exterior Sand Blasting and Repainting $42,000
+ 5% Contingency 2,100
$44,100
+ 27% Legal, Engr., Admin. 6 Bond Interest 11,900
ESTIMATED PROJECT COST ................ $56,000
The estimated project cost includes 5% contingencies and 27% for
legal, engineering, administration and bond interest.
ASSESSMENTS: It is assumed that no assessments will be levied for this proj-
ect as it is an expected periodic maintenance item of the water storage system.
REVENUE: It is assumed that the entire cost of this project will be covered
by the water system renewal and replacement fund.

PROJECT 349/BLUE GENTIAN ROAD
A. Project 349, Blue Gentian Road (Streets -Storm Sewer) -- During
1983, MnDOT started finalizing the construction plans for the
easterly extension of I-494 and its interchange with T.H. 149 (Old
Dodd Road). Due to the configuration of this interchange, it was
necessary to relocate Blue Gentian Road further to the south. Sub-
sequently, segments of West Blue Gentian Road and East Blue Gentian
Road will be upgraded to City standards. Subsequently, the City
Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility report to dis-
cuss the benefits associated with the relocation and upgrading of
East and West Blue Gentian Roads.
On January 17, the City Council formally received the feasibility
report for Project 349 and scheduled the public hearing to be held
on February 21. Enclosed on pages 19-35 is a copy of the feasi-
bility report for your reference during the public hearing.
All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent
• to all property owners who would be affected by this proposed im-
provement.
With the tight time frame associated with the progression of I-494,
It is important that this project be approved or denied on February
21 so that MnDOT can proceed with the advertisement for bids and
subsequent contract award during March.

PROJECT 372/I -35E STREETS 8 UTILITIES
B. Project 372, I -35E (Streets & Utilities) -- During the past
several years, as the progression of I -35E through the City of Eagan
became more of a reality, the Public Works Director and Consulting
Engineer worked very closely with MnDOT to evaluate the impact of
this interstate through our community in relationship to relocation
of existing and construction of future streets and utilities. As
MnDOT's plans became more finalized, the City and the Consulting
Engineering firm were able to evaluate the needs for streets and
utility installation and subsequent benefit derived from adjacent
properties.
Subsequently, a detailed feasibility report was prepared incorpora-
ting all proposed improvements associated with I -35E from Diffley
Road to just south of the Lone Oak Road interchange. Due to the
length of this 75 -page report, it is enclosed in your packets as
a separate document without page numbers for use during the public
hearing.
All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent
• to property owners who would be assessed for the benefits received
from the improvements associated with this project. It is proposed
that all construction associated with this project would be per-

tight time schedules associated with the construction of this sec-
tion of I -35E, it becomes important for the Council to take action
on this project at the public hearing on February 21 so that MnDOT
can proceed with the advertisement for bids for a contract award
in March of 1984.

CITY CODE UPDATE
A. City Code Update -- The original ordinance codification
was adopted effective January 1, 1983, when the first City Code
was formally implemented for the City of Eagan. Because of
legislative changes that occurred in 1983, the adoption of new
City legislation (ordinances) and a proposal to amend or adopt
new legislative ordinances,the City Administrator proposed an update
of the City Code. Upon City Council authorization the City staff,
specifically the City Administrator, Director of Finance, and Admin-
istrative Assistant in charge of the City Clerk Division of Finance,
have met with the City Attorney's office and Mr. Roger Jensen to
review all chapters of the City Code and discuss Minnesota legisla-
tive changes, City ordinance changes, and proposed City legislation.
Mr. Jensen has codified all the revisions for the City Code which
includes all the changes that would occur for a reason referenced
above. The City Administrator has attempted to recognize the intent
of the City Council by keeping any and all ordinance amendments
that may attract a significant change in public policy out of the
ordinance codification. Those ordinances must be reviewed and
adopted as a separate agenda item and if approved, would be incor-
porated in a future City Code revision. Enclosed is a copy of
• a memorandum from Roger Jensen'soffice to the City that incorporates
all the changes as previously discussed. The City staff will have
a final meeting to review all the City Code revisions as proposed
and any final changes will be shared with the City Council before
any action on Tuesday.
If there are any sections of the City Code revisions that the City
Council would like additional information or discussion on, they
could be further evaluated at a future workshop or City Council
meeting. However, generally speaking, most of these changes either
incorporate previous City Council action, action by the Minnesota
Legislature or an intent by the City Council to incorporate some
changes to the City Code. A copy of those City Code revisions
are enclosed on pagesAro through -71 for your review.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the City
Code revisions as presented by the City's codifier, Mr. Roger
Jensen of Municipal Codifiers Inc.

REVISION MEMO - EAGAN
• February 13, 1984
TO: Liz Witt, Administrative Staff
FROM: Lorraine E. O'Reilly, Codifier
RE: 1984 City Code Revisions
we herewith hand you ordinances amending Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9,
10, 11 and 13 of the City Code. You will note that we have assigned
numbers to these ordinances beginning with Ordinance No. 6 (which
number had been assigned to a proposed ordinance but never adopted).
Since Ordinance No. 10, 2nd Series was adopted and published, we have
skipped that number and picked up with No. 11.
The enclosed ordinances, together with the covering memo, should be
reviewed by the City Administrator, the City Attorney, and other City
staff as to their specific areas. If approved as drafted, the
ordinances should then be submitted to the Council. After the
ordinances have been adopted and published, please forward published
copies to our office so that we are aware of any changes which have
been made in the City's review. The revision pages will then be
prepared by our office for insertion in the Code.
• CHAPTER 1
Section 1.02, Subd. 13, has been amended to increase the penalty for a
misdemeanor from $500.00 to $700.00 in accordance with the statute.
CHAPTER 2
Ordinance No. 10, 2nd Series, will be incorporated into the Code in
preparing the revision pages.
CHAPTER 3
Subdivision 1 of Sec. 3.05 has been amended as requested, but the
requirement for "written" permission has been retained in Subd. 7,
Subparagrah B, as requested. No change has been made in Sec. 3.20,
Subd. 1, as to shutting off water service due to delinquency since
this is covered in the general provisions of Sec. 3.05, but Subdivi-
sions 4, 9 and 10 are amended to reflect requested changes by the City
as to additional water valve requirements, providing for a City policy
as to unmetered service, and that all water meters shall be purchased
from the City.
CHAPTER 4
•Section 4.01 has been amended to adopt the latest edition of the
Uniform Building Code and optional appendices. Section 4.10 has been
revised in its entirety to comply with the 1983 statute and also to
provide for a hearing and an owner's permit, as well as the permit to
-1- 40
use the streets, as requested. This amendment should be specifically
•reviewed by the Building Inspector for any comments he may have.
Subdivision 3, Subparagraph C of Sec. 4.20 has been amended to also
restrict signs within specified distances from railroad rights-of-way.
Ordinance No. 3, 2nd Series, which also amends Sec. 4.20, will be
incorporated in preparing the revision pages. A new Sec. 4.60 is
provided for which allows construction headquarters, temporary
structures and storage areas until 858 of the units in the plat have
been developed.
CHAPTER 5
Definition of club and fraternal club have been amended in accordance
with the 1983 statute which changed the required term of existence
from ten years to three. while Ordinance No. 5 amended Sec. 5.13 to
change the effective date, this Section was further reviewed at the
conference. Subdivision 2 presently exempts only temporary beer
licensees from the requirements of this Section. Due to legislative
amendments to this statute in 1983, the establishment of exemptions by
other beer as well as on -sale wine licensees can be proven by
affidavit, and therefore ease the burden of the City to require proof
of eligibility for such exemption. We are therefore inserting the
exemption to include on -sale beer licensees with sales of less than
$10,000, off -sale beer licensees with sales of less than $20,000, and
on -sale wine licensees with sales of less than $10,000. We specifi-
cally call your attention to these added exemptions since it was felt
at the conference that this should be a Council decision.
While Sec. 5.34 was amended .by Ordinance No. 5, it has been revised to
delete references to "non -intoxicating malt liquor", since "beer" is
so defined in Section 5.01. Subdivision 1 of Sec. 5.52 has been
amended to remove the alternative of liability insurance (mandatory
requirement in Sec. 5.13), and adds Subd. 14 to allow an off -sale
licensee to provide free samples in accordance with Chapter 259 of the
1983 Laws. The on -sale wine license fee has been changed to $200.00
for an annual license and $100.00 for a Sunday license. The prohibi-
tion in Sec. 5.80 as to consumption and display has been repealed and
new Sec. 5.81 inserted which provides for an annual consumption and
display license. The fee to be paid to the City is $300.00. In
addition, the applicant is required to pay a fee of $100.00 to the
State of Minnesota. Section 5.14 is also a new Section which we
strongly recommend be added to the general provisions at the beginning
of this Chapter. You will note that it requires thirty days notice to
the City prior to cancellation. It is our feeling that the ten day
notice period is insufficient since it does not allow ample time to
give notice and hold a hearing as to action to be taken on the
license.
CHAPTER 6
The definiton of a kennel has been amended to provide for "four or
more dogs or cats" rather than three. Ordinance No. 4 amending Sec.
•6.42 as to construction, alteration or repair of buildings will be
incorporated in preparing the revision pages.
-2- it l
CHAPTER 8
Adoption of MSA Chapter 169 has been updated to amend through Laws
1983.
CHAPTER 9
Section 9.16 has been amended to update in accordance with Chapter 24
of the 1983 Laws which prohibits obstructing access to a handicapped
parking space, requires visible sign -posting and non-movable signs,
and authorizes tagging on private and public property.
CHAPTER 10
Ordinance No. 2 prohibiting trapping will be inserted in preparing the
revision pages. Dangerous weapons or articles, due date of dog and
cat licenses and curfew have been amended in Sections 10.10, 10.11 and
10.30. The requested ordinance relating to building security and fire
alarm systems has been inserted as Sec. 10.43 with some revision to
follow the format of the City Code.
CHAPTER 11
The definition of Planned Development from proposed Ordinance No. 7
has been inserted in Sec. 11.03, as well as the definition of setback.
Subdivision 26 of Sec. 11.10 has been amended to correct confusing
language and the references to the Industrial Districts have been
•changed in Sec. 11.20, as requested. Day care special permits have
been repealed in the Agricultural and Residential Districts as
provided in proposed Ordinance No. 6, and on -sale wine and 3.2 beer as
a conditional use in the I-1 Industrial District inserted.: The typo
error on Page 397 will be corrected in typing the revision pages.
CHAPTER 13
The Council waiver has been amended in Sec. 13.02, Subd. 2, in
accordance with proposed Ordinance No. 13. Amendments to Sections
13.10 and 13.30 have been inserted as requested.
CHAPTER 25
Ordinances numbered 101, 102 and 103 will be inserted in preparing the
revision pages, as will Ordinance No. 1, 2nd Series, which adopted the
codification.

SUBJECT: VARIANCE
APPLICANT: GEORGE L. & MIRIAM M NALL
LOCATION: SW; OF THE NA OF SECTION 22
EXISTING ZONING: R-1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 24, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 19, 1984
REPORTED BY: JUDY HEALD
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been received for the keep-
ing of horses on a 4.50 -acre parcel of land zoned R-1 (Residential
Single District) located at 3960 Pilot Knob Road (Parcel No. 10-02200-
040-27).
CITY CODE REQUIREMENT
Section 10.12, Subdivision 2, Keeping, states in part, "It is unlaw-
ful for any person to keep or harbor any animal, not in transit, ex-
is
cept (1) farm animals kept in that portion of the City zoned Agricul-
tural.and containing no less than five acres."
A horse is defined as a "Farm Animal"
Therefore, the applicant needs a variance for the 4.50 acres of land
as well as the R-1 zoning.
It should be noted, however, the City Code does not limit the number
of horses per parcel or the distance the horses will be kept from the
property line. Since staff has been receiving other inquiries about
the number of horses allowed per acre, perhaps the Advisory Planning
Commission would want to limit the number per acre or per application.
The Planning Commission may also want to look at the distance the
horses will be pastured or stabled from the property line.
COMMENTS
The applicants are presently owners of the property but are requesting
the variance for the occupants of the site. The applicants have stat-
ed there will be 3 horses housed on the site which will be cared for
by the occupants.
As can be seen on the applicant's site plan, the proposed fenced -in
•area for the keeping of the horses will be on the north side of the
property which will be adjacent another large, unplatted parcel, and
to the west, County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road). The block marked "SHED"

will house the horses.
If approved, the variance shall be subject to the following condi-
tions:
1) There shall be no more than 3 horses stabled on the site.
2) No other farm animals as defined in Section 10.12 shall be
allowed.
3) No commercial or home occupation shall be permitted in con-
nection with the keeping of the horses.
4) Fencing shall be subject to the requirements of the City
Code.
5) All other applicable ordinances shall be complied with.

REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting
preliminary plat, Sunset 4th Addition, consisting of approximately
15.16 acres and would contain 32 single family lots in part of the
NA of the NA of Section 25 south of County Road 30 (Diffley Road),
west of Saddlehorn Addition and north of Hackmore Drive.
ZONING AND LAND USE
• Presently, the parcel is zoned PD (Planned Development District) in
the Lexington South Planned Development. The proposed land use de-
signated for this parcel is R -II (Mixed Residential) with a density
of 3-6 dwelling units per acre. The Comprehensive Guide Plan desig-
nates this parcel as R -I and R -II with the northeasterly portion being
R -I (Single Family Residential) with a density of 0-3 dwelling units
per acre; the westerly portion of the plat is designated is R -II
(Mixed Residential) with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre.
The overall plat density contains 2.2 dwelling units per acre, thus
conforming with the R -I proposed land use of the Comprehensive Guide
Plan.
COMMENTS
As stated above, the proposed development will contain 15.16 acres
and would contain 32 single family lots. Each of the proposed single
family lots would meet all of the R-1 zoning requirements which is
85' lot width and 12,000 square feet. The net density of this de-
velopment proposal is 2.2 dwelling units per acre which is a low den-
sity for single family development.
The proposed plat abuts Sunset 1st Addition on the most easterly por-
tion of the plat. The access to Sunset 4th Addition would be through
Sunset 1st Addition where Richard Lane will tie into Yorktown Place
•and provide access from the east. Access from the west, Yorktown
Place, will be stubbed from Northview Meadows to this proposed devel-
opment. There will be two access points to this plat for good traffic

movement. The applicant is proposing a looped street, Sunset Drive,
which would provide access to all of the single family lots south of
Yorktown Place.
In review of the surrounding land use, there appears to be three
single family residences abutting this plat on the south. Two of the
residences contain approximately 5 acres and would have access from a
private street at the present time, which, in the future, may be the
extension of Hackmore Drive. Presently, it is not proposed to develop
Hackmore Drive or upgrade Hackmore Drive with this preliminary plat be-
cause the lots do have access from other streets which will be construct-
ed to City standards.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) All lots shall meet the minimum R-1 zoning criteria which is
85 -foot lot width and 12,000 square feet.
2) The applicant shall dedicate all easements as requested by
City staff.

• MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: JANUARY 16, 1984
SUBJECT: SUNSET 4TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consider-
ation by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE/TOPOGRAPHY
This proposed development is located directly east of Northview Mea-
dows Addition and south of County Road 30-. The existing topography
consists of rolling hills with the south half of this portion drain-
ing to the south and the north half of this portion draining to the
east. The southerly portion of this proposed development slopes
rather steeply to the south with the slopes approaching 18%. Slopes
in the northerly portion of this proposed development range from 28
to 158. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship of this proposed de-
velopment being located partially within the J and L major drainage
districts as defined by the Master Storm Sewer Plan.
• The proposed grading will result in a low spot being in the vicinity
of Lot 9, Block 2 with all the drainage north of the proposed street
being directed towards it. From here, it is directed to the east via
storm sewer through the Sunset lst Addition and then to the north to
a holding area just south of Pond JP -27.
UTILITIES
Existing utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist with-
in the proximity of this proposed development to provide service to
it.
Watermain for this proposed development is proposed to be looped
through this development from an existing 6" watermain within York-
town Place to the watermain constructed within the Sunset lst Addi-
tion. Sanitary sewer for this proposed development is proposed to
be serviced by extending the sanitary sewer proposed to be construct-
ed within the Sunset lst Addition. This sewer and water should also
be stubbed to the east boundary of the Sunset lst Addition to facil-
itate future utility extensions to the property to the east.
If utilities are to be installed under private contract, then the
plans and specifications shall be prepared by a registered engineer
and submitted to the City for approval.
• STREETS
Access to this proposed development consists of a public street named
Yorktown Place located within the Northview Meadows Addition and abuts
�Z

the west boundary of this proposed development.
It is proposed to extend Yorktown Place to the east and provide in-
ternal access by way of a public looped street. The public looped
street will provide for excellent traffic flow, however, staff would
recommend that Yorktown Place be extended to the east boundary of
Sunset 1st Addition. This would provide a connection with the pro-
posed north -south street within the Sunset 1st Addition and greatly
improve the traffic circulation.
The developer proposes to construct the internal street under pri-
vate contract and petition for the City to install the curb and gut-
ter and bituminous paving for Yorktown Place. Staff has no problem
with this as long as it is made a condition.of the final plat for
the developer to provide the gravel base for Yorktown Place.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
The developer is proposing a 60' right-of-way for Yorktown Place and
a 50' right-of-way for the internal street, Sunset Drive, which staff
concurs with. However, staff strongly recommends extending the right-
of-way for Yorktown Place from the east boundary of this preliminary
plat as proposed to the east boundary of Sunset 1st Addition for rea-
sons previously mentioned. Also, a minimum 25' half right-of-way
shall be dedicated for Hackmore Drive along the southerly border of
this proposed development.
A 10' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to all publicly
dedicated right-of-way along with a 5' drainage and utility easement
being dedicated adjacent to all exterior lot lines with a 10' drain-
age and utility easement being dedicated over all interior lot lines.
In addition, the necessary storm sewer easements required by the pro-
posed alignment across Lot 11, Block 2 of this proposed Addition and
Lot 4, Block 1 of the Sunset 1st Addition will be required to be dedi-
cated and/or obtained.
ASSESSMENTS
In reviewing the assessments levied over this proposed development
which consists of Parcel 010-27 and 021-27 of the NW's of Section 25,
it was found that all trunk related assessments have been levied.
Subsequently, all future costs for public improvements shall be the
sole responsibility of this proposed development.
MISCELLANEOUS
As proposed, this development will pose a problem in the future re-
garding the construction of streets and utilities within Hackmore
Drive since Lots 6-10, Block 1 will have double frontages. Subse- •
quently, it will be difficult to assess any benefit resulting from
utility and street improvements within Hackmore Drive to these lots,
thereby jeopardizing the financing of any such projects. Therefore,
1 a-
ENGINEERING REPORT
• SUNSET 4TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
JANUARY 16, 1984
PAGE THREE
staff would recommend that Lots 6-10, Block 1 be subdivided each into
two lots with the additional lot being labeled an outlot. This would
provide the owner of a lot ownership and control over the outlot
should it elect to be included with this purchase and also allow the
City to assess the benefits resulting from the improvements of Hack -
more Drive.
An alternate to this would be for the developer to provide an escrow
account for the costs of improving Hackmore Drive which may be drawn
against upon the improvement of Hackmore Drive. Finally, a last al-
ternative is to leave the plat as proposed thereby encumbering the
City's trunk funds for future improvements within Hackmore Drive.
i will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Ad-
visory Planning Commission at their meeting of January 24, 1984:
Respectfully submitted,
Richard M. Hefti, P.E.

with 32 single family lots in part of the Northwest quarter of the Northwest
quarter of Section 25 south of Diffley Road, west of Saddlehorn Addition and
north of-Hackmore Drive was next heard. Dale Runkle introduced the project
and noted the parcel is zoned Planned Development and is a part of Lexington
South PD. The proposed land use is R -II with a density of 3 to 6 units per
acre and the overall plat density would contain 2.2 dwelling units per acre.
The minimum guidelines under R-1 zoning will be met in the proposal and it was
noted the applicant is.proposing a looped street, Sunset Drive, which would
provide access to all of the single family lots south of Yorktown Place. Brad

Swenson, and Jim Curry appeared for the applicant. Mr. Swenson explained the
slope features and heavy tree cover on the south and stated there is little
chance of the southerly portion of the lots being developed because of the
slope. There are smaller lots to the north and larger residential' lots to the
south and it was suggested that the lot sizes make a reasonable transition.
He stated that neighborhood meetings have been held.and no objections have
been received, in ,fact, neighbors generally approved the project. The owner
of the property to the east appeared and supported the proposal as well as
other property owners who were in support of the project. There was discussion
concerning the proposal of the engineering staff to provide that the southerly
lots be divided, including outlots on the south side of each lot to allow
future development, also assessments for the possible extension of Hackmore
Drive in the future. Member Rrob stated that the Planning Commission and
Council must listen to the staff recommendations and not only look at the
immediate development but the long-term city responsibility, but also was
aware of the transition from smaller to larger lots to the south. Mr. Sauter,
an owner to the south, was present and stated that he may need access to
Hackmore Drive extended if his land is subdivided. Wilkins moved, McCrea
seconded the motion to recommend approval of .-the application subject to the
following conditions:
1. All lots shall meet the minimum R-1 zoning criteria which is 85 -foot •
lot width and 12,000 square feet.
2. The applicant shall dedicate all easements as requested by City
staff.
3. All other City ordinances shall be met.
4. A detailed grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted for
staff review.
5. If utilities are to be installed privately, then the plans and
specifications shall be prepared by a registered engineer and submitted to the
City for approval.

Eagan City Council
Eagan City nall
Lagan, Minnesota
Lear Eagan City Council,
my wife and I will not be able to attend the February 21 City
Council meeting. We understand the preliminary plat for Sunset
Four Addition will be on the agenda and since this development
adjoins our north property line we want you to know our views.
As we told the City Planning Commission, next to no development
this plan was the best we've seen. From our point of view the
large size lots on the south are the most attractive feature and
are critical for our support of this development. This feature
makes a perfect transition between the low density housing to the
south and the higher density housing in the north part of the
development. In addition it preserves the trees and the rugged
terrain of the area that attracted us to this area thirteen
years ago.
• We ask that you do not change the status of these larger
lots and approve the plan in the same manner as the Planning
Commission. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Betty and perry Sauter

MEMO TO: THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
• FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1984
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT - SUNSET 4TH ADDITION
During the staff review of this proposed subdivision, the Engineer-
ing Division recommended (#13) that Lots 6-10 of Block 1 be divided
into outlots fronting onto Hackmore Drive to eliminate the proposed
double frontage of these lots. This recommendation was omitted
from the approval granted by the Planning Commission with no sug-
gested alternative to future problems associated with financing
the upgrading of Hackmore Drive.
The attached map shows the location of the proposed Sunset 4th
Addition to the dedicated right-of-way of Hackmore Drive. If the
Sunset 4th Addition does not wish to have lots fronting on to Hack -
more Drive and subsequently retain the larger -sized lots, then
I would strongly recommend that the Council make it a condition
of this plat approval to pay a residential equivalent assessment
to the City which could be applied to any future costs associated
with the installation of streets and utilities when Hackmore Drive
is upgraded and connected to the recently completed street within
the Northview Meadows subdivision.
If this financial obligation is not a requirement of the final
plat, it will become the City's financial responsibility to pay
for one-half of the costs associated with the upgrading of streets
and utilities within Hackmore Drive when it occurs in the future.
This is due to the fact that we will be limited in the amount of
the costs that can be assessed on the property on the south side
to the benefit received from those improvements. Therefore, I
strongly recommend that the Council require this future obligation
of the subdivision to be paid now to cover the City's future finan-
cial responsibilities.
As an alternative, these lots could be split with adequate frontage
and square footage taking direct access from future streets and
utilities from Hackmore Drive. However, if this alternative is
approved, it would require the upgrading of Hackmore Drive at the
present time to provide these newly -created lots with standard
streets and utilities.
I would like to discuss the concerns of the Public Works Department
with the City Council in relationship to the elimination of the
recommendation as approved by the Planning Commission in hopes
that a satisfactory alternative can be agreed upon.

A. Burnsville/Eagan Cable Commission Update -- Since the Burns-
ville/Eagan Cable Commission has now completed four (4) regular
meetings in addition to considerable committee work, it seemed
appropriate to place this item on the agenda and allow City Council -
member Smith, who is Chairman of the Joint Commission, and City
Administrator Hedges to update the City Council on progress the
Commission is making to date. The City Council may want to review
minutes that have been provided with the last informative memo
to determine whether they have any questions that might be of
interest to the City Council for discussion purposes. The City

MNDOT COST PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #61824 (I-494)
B. Approve MnDot Cost Participation Agreement #61824 (I -494) -
As discussed under the public hearing for Project 349, the progres-
sion of I-494 to the east with its interchange with T.H. 14.9 results
in a relocation and upgrading of east and west Blue Gentian Road
to City standards. Due to the fact that these local streets require
cost participation from the City to accomplish this upgrading to
City standards, it is necessary for the City to enter into a cost
participation agreement with MnDot. The City's obligations under
this MnDot agreement have been reviewed in detail by the Public
Works Director and consulting engineer and found them to be in
accordance with standard policies for joint construction and cost
participation. The City's obligations associated with this cost
participation agreement have been taken into consideration and
addressed as a part of the feasibility report for Project 349.
Therefore, if the public hearing for Project 349 is closed and
the improvements ordered for installation earlier in the agenda,
it would be in order for the Council to approve this cost participa-
tion agreement providing for the City's financial obligation
associated with those improvements. •
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To pass/deny a resolution
approving Cost Participation Agreement #61824 authorizing the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute all related agreements and documents
providing for financial obligation of the City associated with
the upgrading of east and west Blue Gentian Roads as a part of
I-494.

MNDOT COST PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #61932 (I -35E
C. Approve MnDot Cost Participation Agreement 061932 (I -35E)
-- As it was discussed under Project 372 during the public hearing
earlier in the agenda, there are several street and utility
improvements associated with the progression of I -35E that become
the City's financial obligation. Subsequently, a cost participation
agreement has been prepared by MnDot delineating the City's
financial responsibilities associated with the upgrading of
these local improvements to City standards.
This agreement has been reviewed in detail by the Public Works
Director and consulting engineer and the financial responsibility
delineation has been found to be in accordance with present
policies for cooperative joint construction and cost participations.
All the improvements delineated in Project 372 presented under
the public hearing earlier on the agenda have been taken into
consideration in this agreement as it pertains to the City's
responsibilities.
If the public hearing for Project 372 is closed and the project
approved as presented, it would be in order for the Council
• to approve this cost participation agreement so that this work
can be performed cooperatively under a MnDot contract.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To pass/deny a resolution
approving MnDot Cost Participation Agreement #61932 and authorizing
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents and
agreements.

Agreement #61933 - Diffley Road and Pilot Knob Road -- As a
part of the I -35E progression through the City of Eagan, certain
improvements will be performed cooperatively under a MnDot contract
for the upgrading of County 30 (Diffley Road) and County Road
31 (Pilot Knob Road). MnDot Agreement #61933 is a cost participa-
tion agreement between the State and the County due to the juris-
dictional authority of the county roads being approved under
a state contract. However, present City policy requires that
any improvements to county roads be the joint responsibility
of the County and the benefitted municipality on a 55/45 split
of costs for all road improvements and related appyrtenances.
Therefore, the County has prepared a cost participation agreement
between the County and the City delineating the City's share
of the costs associated with the County's responsibility as
• a part of MnDot's cost participation agreement.

All proposed improvements associated with this cost participation
agreement with the County have been taken into consideration
and included in the feasibility report for Project 372 presented
earlier on the agenda under public hearings. The Public Works
Director and consulting engineer have reviewed this cost participa-
tion agreement in detail and found it to be in conformance with
present policies of delineation of financial obligations between
jurisdictional agencies for related improvements.
Therefore, if the public hearing is closed and Project 372 ap-
proved earlier on the agenda under the public hearing items,
it would be appropriate for the Council to approve this cost
participation agreement between the City and the County.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve Dakota County
Cost Participation Agreement relating to MnDot Agreement 461933
for the upgrading of Diffley Road and Pilot Knob Road associated
with I -35E and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
all related documents.

CONTRACT 84-1/LONE OAK ROAD-T.H. 55 WATERMAIN
E. Contract 84-1, Receive Bids/Award Contract (Lone Oak Road/T.H.
55 - Watermain) -- On November 15, 1983, the public hearing was
held and a project approved which consisted of three parts:
Part 1: Construction of trunk watermain along the west side
of T.H. 55/149 through the intersection of Lone Oak
Road and westerly extension within Lone Oak Road
from this intersection due to pending intersection
improvements by MnDot during 1984. The segment of
trunk watermain from Lone Oak Road southerly to the
extension of Apollo Drive was bid at a 24" -diameter
with an alternate bid requested for a 20" -diameter
trunk watermain for this segment. The City's consult-
ing engineer and Public Works Director will be evalu-
ating the cost benefit of reducing this watermain
size and will have the information available to the
Council for consideration of the alternate bid at
the meeting on February 21.
• Part 2: This consisted of relocation of hydrants and lowering/
insulating the existing watermain and relocating
fire hydrants along the west side of T.H. 149 by
General Coatings Inc. in anticipation of the future
frontage road to be constructed by MnDot during 1984.
Part 3: This involves the westerly extension of trunk water -
main facilities from Pilot Knob Road, at its inter-
section with Duckwood Drive, in anticipation of the
future upgrading by MnDot during 1984. This work
was not originally contained in the feasibility report
as it was anticipated to be performed under a MnDot
contract. Regardless, this work will be the full
responsibility of the trunk watermain with no related
assessments. As such, it was not necessary to have
it included in the original feasibility report.
However, because MnDot could not incorporate it in
their construction plans in a timely fashion, it
was determined to be in the City's best interest
to add this trunk related work under this contract
for bidding purposes.
Enclosed on page10 is a tabulation of the bids received at the
official bid opening held on February 16. Due to the necessity
of this project and the favorable bids received, the staff is recom-
mending that the Council receive the bids and award the contract
109

the City Council along with the staff's recommendation for consider-
ation of accepting the alternate bids submitted.

CONTRACT 84-3/ALMQUIST LAKE LIFT STATION
F. Contract 84-3, Approve Plans/Authorize Advertisement for
Bids (Almquist Lake Lift Station) -- On January 17 a public
hearing was held for Project 393 providing for the installation
of a trunk storm sewer outlet for Almquist Lake. The public
hearing was closed and the project subsequently approved with
authorization being given for the preparation of detailed plans
and specifications. These plans have now been completed and
are being presented to the Council for their review, approval
and authorization to advertise for a bid opening. The consulting
engineer and Public Works Director will be available to discuss
the details of these plans with the Council at the meeting on
February 21.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/deny the plans
and specifications for Contract 84-3 (Almquist Lake Lift Station)
and, if approved, authorize the advertisement for a bid opening
to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 15, 1984.
CONTRACT 82-7/CINNAMON RIDGE 3RD ADDITION
• G. Contract 82-7, Final Payment/Acceptance - Cinnamon Ridge
3rd Addition (Streets & Utilities) -- We have received a request
for final payment for Contract 82-7 from our consulting engineering
firm along with a certification of compliance with the approved
plans and specifications which provided for the installation
of streets and utilities to service the Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition.
Taking into consideration the two change orders that modified
the original contract amount, the final construction costs came
in 2.58 below the original contract amount due to minor miscel-
laneous quantity underruns. All cost associated with this project
will be assessed against the development.
All final inspections have been witnessed and verified by represen-
tatives of the Public Works Department and it is now being recom-
mended that this project be formally accepted for perpetual
maintenance and that final payment be authorized to contractor.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the seventh
and final payment of $25,707.03 to Austin P. Keller Construction
Company for Contract 82-7 and accept the project for perpetual
maintenance.

1984 SEWER & WATER UTILITY USER RATES
H. Consideration of Sewer & Water Utility User Rates for 1984
As is customary on an annual basis, the Public Works Director had
the consulting engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik
and Associates, Inc. perform a study pertaining to sewer and water
utility user rates in relationship to expenses and required revenue
to maintain and provide sewer and water service for the City.
A review of the approved 1984 utility budget, combined with antici-
pated sales during 1984, resulted in this report conclusion and
recommendation that the sewer and water user rates not be increased
for 1984. A copy of this report is being forwarded to the Counci
under separate cover for their review, comment and reference during
consideration of this item.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the 1984 report
on sewer and water utility user rate study and approve/deny the
recommendation for no increase in rates during 1984.
TRUNK -RELATED ASSESSMENT RATES - 1984
I. Consideration of Trunk -Related Assessment Rates for 1984 -- •
In the past, the Public Work Director has had the consulting engi-
neering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, Inc.,
review the construction costs associated with completing our trunk
systems (sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer, and major streets)
and recommend appropriate rates to maintain the solvency of these
funds through the levying of trunk -related assessments (area,
lateral benefit, road user connection fees, street equivalent
assessments, etc.). In the past, this information was included
as an appendix to the annual sewer and water utility rate study.
However, the Director of Public Works felt that this information
should be expanded and addressed through a separate report for
separate action by the Council.
Therefore, forward to the Council under separate cover is a copy
of this report for their review, comments and reference during
consideration of this item on February 21. The results of this
report indicate that the trunk -related assessments should be
increased by an average of 5.08. It also established definitive
rates for a zoned -equivalent rate (residential, multiple, com-
mercial/industrial) to be used during the upgrading of major
streets.
The Public Works Director and consultant engineer will be available
to discuss this report in detail with the Council as they desire •
on February 21.

SUBJECT: INFORMATIVE
COMMUNITY ROOM
The City has prepared a rather lengthy procedure for the use of
the Community Room located at the Fire Administration Building.
Scheduling the Community Room will be a function of Parks and
Recreation and if the City Council is interested in reviewing the
policy for use of the Community Room, please request and a copy
will be distributed for review. It is anticipated that the Com-
munity Room will be available within a month.
MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION UPDATE
Enclosed is a letter from Larkin, Hoffman, Daly and Lindgren law
firm that provides a summary of the representation agreement they
have entered into with the 14 cities. This letter provides a brief
analysis of how the law firm will work with the 14 cities and I
thought would be of interest to the City Council. The City Admin-
istrator is attending an all -day meeting on Friday, February 17,
along with City Administrators from the other 13 cities to work
on position papers with the lobbyist. The next regular meeting
of the joint commission is at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 23,
in the City of Roseville. Mayor Blomquist and the City Admin-
istrator, as the City's two delegates, will be attending. A copy
of the letter is found on pages 11 through 12 0 .
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT #196/EAGAN HIGH SCHOOL ISSUE
The City Administrator and Mayor Blomquist attended a school board
meeting that was held on Monday, February 13, 1984. Needless to
say, the meeting lasted from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. with Eagan
residents attempting to endure a long wait from 7:30 until 10:30
when the school facilities item was considered. Mayor Blomquist
and the City Administrator will discuss in more detail what trans-
pired at the school board meeting in a future workshop session.
Enclosed is a copy of a letter and resolution that was submitted
to the school board the night of the meeting. Mayor Blomquist
will more than likely be suggesting that this resolution be adopted
by the City Council as a matter of formal record. A copy of the
letter and resolution are enclosed on pages 1 Z i through iZ 4

before and after equipment is installed at the Sperry Semi -
Conductor facility. The City Attorney's office has been notified
of the action that was taken at the last City Council meeting con-
cerning legal direction if Sperry does not satisfy the noise
problems that are being alleged by the Timberline Addition. A
copy of a letter to Mr. Gustin and Mr. Nikolai from the City Admin-
istrator is enclosed on page Ia 15L- . Also enclosed are copies of
letters from Mr. Nikolai to David Kelso of MPCA and the Senior
Vice -President of the Sperry Semi -Conductor operations, Mr. David
Turcotte. These letters are enclosed on pages 1'2,(o through 110
Mr. Giblin and Mr. Nikolai have, since the last City Council
meeting, filed criminal complaints with the Police Department asking
that the noise problem be prosecuted as a public nuisance. The
complaint is being reviewed by the City Attorney.
RACE TRACK
Enclosed on page 1 11 is a copy of a letter received from the City
of Mendota Heights and also an page13 is a copy of a letter
received from the City of Sunfish Lake regarding their positions
on the proposed horse racing facility site in the City of Eagan.
This week, a statement was made by Ray Glumack on WCCO that would
appear to the average listener that MAC had problems with the horse •
racing facility being located under the preferential runway in
the City of Eagan. The statement about the race track came to
the attention of the City's applicant, Minnesota Jockey Club, Inc.,
and in an effort to clarify Mr. Glumack's statement a meeting was
held on Wednesday, February 15 in Mr. Glumack's office. The City
of Eagan was asked by Mr. Pflaum for representation at the meeting
and the City Administrator contacted City Councilmember Egan who
joined the Administrator at the meeting. To reduce an hour and
a half of dialogue to a few sentences is difficult but the main
outcome of the discussion was that Mr. Glumack made it extremely
clear that he is not an adversary of the Eagan horse racing site
or any site for that matter and was merely addressing a question
as to how the airport would regard any kind of land use that might
threaten continued alignment designation of the preferential runway.
Mr. Glumack responded by stating that the Metropolitan Airports
Commission would be very concerned about any use that would cause
any jeopardy to the preferential runway. The Minnesota Jockey
Club, Inc. presented a three-page easement that guarantees the
Metropolitan Airports Commission that they will provide permanent
air rights for the preferential runway over their horse racing
facility dismissing any public speculation that noise is a problem
for the horse track. It was made extremely clear by Mr. Glumack
that the MAC is not concerned about noise being a factor for the
.horse track; any noise concern for the horse track is a private
matter with the investors. This matter was cleared up and the
easement will be filed with the application. Since the recent •
i(s

Page 3
city council meeting held on February 7, 1984, in the City of
Mendota Heights has brought considerable news attention to the
race track located in the City of Eagan, I felt copies of articles
regarding that meeting might be of interest to the City Council.
Enclosed on pages 13 j through A-
are a cumber of copies of
articles that have appeared in 1 cal`—newpapers. Also enclosed
on pages L+4-14Sis a copy of a letter from the Inver Grove Heights
Development Corporation informing Mayor Blomquist that their corpor-
ation has endorsed the Eagan site and further that they're request-
ing a similar endorsement from mayors of cities in Dakota County.
WORKSHOP
The City Administrator is suggesting that the City Council have
a workshop session to address a number of miscellaneous items,
one of which should be a meeting with the History Committee. A
suggested date for that meeting is February 28 if the date is
acceptable to everyone's calendar. A formal agenda would be prepared
for the special workshop/City Council meeting; however, it is anti-
cipated there would be no formal action taken.
PROJECT 349, BLUE GENTIAN ROAD (Streets & Storm Sewer Improvements)
City Financing -- On page 5 of the feasibility report
for Project 349, the revenue sources to finance this project are
•
delineated in relationship to project cost and revenue receipt
from assessments. You will note that the resulting balance indi-
cates $178,544 will be the responsibility of "City and State" funds.
The report was prepared this way to show that the assessment revenue
as proposed under this project was not sufficient to cover the
cost of the improvements being performed.
However, through a cost participation agreement with MnDot, the
State will be participating in a portion of these construction
costs. Therefore, enclosed on pages( - is a subsequent summary
of revenue sources that was performed to show the relationship
of the MnDot cost participation in relationship to the project
cost and assessment revenue. As can be seen from this subsequent
summary, due to the significant cost participation on behalf of
MnDot combined with the proposed assessment revenues, this results
in a positive balance of $132,385 to the City's trunk storm sewer
fund and $260,861 to the City's major street fund.
This subsequent information is being forwarded to the Council to
show that the significant negative balance on page 5 of the feasi-
bility report does not imply that the City will be incurring a
financial burden to our trunk funds if this project is approved.
It also provides additional information to the Council in considera-
tion of any special assessment consideration requests that have
• been received.

Project 372, I -35E (Utility & Street Improvements) -- Financial
Revenue Review
The feasibility report that was prepared for Project 372 provided
a revenue source breakdown on pages 47 and 48 to show the relation-
ship between the cost of the project for various improvements, the
assessment revenue that would be generated from this project and
the resulting balance that would be the responsibility of "City
& State" funds. This resulting total balance indicated a negative
$846,767 deficit that would have to be financed through these city/
state funds. This information was presented this way to show that
the revenue being generated from assessments was less than the cost
of the overall project.
However, through a cost participation agreement with MnDOT, the
state and the county will be participating in some of these finan-
cial liabilities. Therefore, enclosed on pages /4-1 through /5Q
is a subsequent summary sheet of revenue sources which shows the
balance after taking into consideration the financial participation
of the state and the county. This summary sheet shows the actual
financial obligation of the City's trunk funds which range from
a negative balance of $103,930 to the trunk watermain fund to a •
#285,174 positive balance to the major street fund if all assess-
ments are levied as proposed under this project. It was felt that
this information would be beneficial to the Council in helping to
determine the benefit of this project in relationship to the or-
dering of this improvement.
The Public Works Director and Consulting Engineer can discuss this
financial analysis in further detail at the Council meeting if de-
sired by the Council.

I would like to take this opportunity to set forth a Representation
Agreement as indicated in a letter you received from Jim Erickson
dated February 1, 1984. That letter also contained our initial
retainer invoice in the amount of $7,500.
.Larkin, Hoffman, Daly 5 Lindgren, Ltd., is pleased and honored to
undertake representation of the Municipal Legislative Commission (MLC)
as special legislative and administrative counsel through June 30, 1984.
As you know, the firm has recently commenced work on this undertaking
following actions by the Municipal Legislative Commission in late
January and early February selecting the firm as special legislative:
and administrative counsel. The firm will undertake to represent
the Municipal Legislative Commission on issues of concern to members
of the Municipal Legislative Commission. It is anticipated that the
firm, will work with -'several different public bodies with jurisdiction
to consider these issues, including the legislature, state government
agencies, the Governor's office, the Metropolitan Council and its
related metropolitan agencies, and the newly -formed Minnesota Tax
Study Commission.
Robert G. Renner, Jr., and I have been assigned as attorneys with
•primary responsibility for this matter. We will call -upon the
services of other attorneys.in the firm who may have expertise or
knowledge'useful in successfully resolving a particular issue.
119
LARHIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN, LTD.
9r. James Lacina
February 8, 1984
Page Two
At this time, we anticipate that Robert L. Hoffman, James C. Erickson,
and Forrest D. (Dick) Nowlin will be actively involved. It is quite
likely that other attorneys in the firm will also be involved in this
representation. Ms. Deborah J. Grant, a legal assistant, will work
closely with the attorneys assigned.to this file.
The firm will undertake to monitor the activities of state and
metropolitan governmental bodies. The firm will act as the spokesman
for the Municipal Legislative Commission and its members.before state
and regional governmental agencies on issues of concern. We will
undertake to have adopted the policies and legislation consistent
with the goals of the Municipal Legislative Commission.- The firm
will provide regular updates, through written reports and meetings,
regarding issues of concern to the Municipal Legislative Commission.
We will coordinate the presentation of information, testimony, and
proposals to various. governmental bodies and work closely with members
of the Municipal Legislative Commission to develop the information and
policies to be presented to the governmental bodies. Other services
rendered will include legal analysis and drafting, attendance at
Ietings of -the legislature and other governmental bodies, conferences
th legislators, members of the' metropolitan agencies, staff, and
other appropriate officials.- Miscellaneous services will, include
telephone conferences, research, and review of documents and policy
papers.
The Lawyers' Professional Responsibility Board encourages attorneys to
fully explain fee arrangements and the scope of representation in order
to avoid misunderstandings. Therefore, I would like to address the
terms of the representation. The firm is undertaking the representa-
tion of the Municipal Legislative Commission, a new body formed under
a joint powers agreement entered into by 14 suburban municipalities.
In undertaking to represent the Municipal Legislative Commission, the
firm does not undertake representation of any of the municipalities
who are members of the Commission. As you are aware, the firm has
appeared before municipalities on behalf of private clients of the
firm. The firm will continue to appear before municipal bodies and
agencies who are members of the Municipal Legislative Commission on
behalf of private clients. We undertake representation of the
Municipal Legislative Commission with the understanding that continued
appearances before municipalities who are members of the Municipal
Legislative Commission do not present a conflict of interest.
As you also know, the firm is active in representing several other
clients before the Minnesota Legislature, state agencies, and
ietropolitan agencies. Should a situation arise where our repre-
ntation of another client conflicts with our representation of the
119
LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN. LTD.
•
Mr. James Lacina
February 8, 1984
Page Three
Municipal Legislative Commission, we will contact you immediately.
We will then meet with you and the other concerned client to explain
the nature of the conflict. Should it be impossible to resolve the
conflict to the satisfaction of all parties, we may be required
under the Code of Professional Responsibility to withdraw from
representation on the conflicting issue. However, we would be
able to continue to undertake representation of the Municipal
Legislative Commission and other clients on all other issues.
The fee for the representation will be a minimum -of $45,000,,plus
costs and expenses, and a maximum of $60,000, plus costs and
expenses. The Municipal Legislative Commission will receive an
invoice for $7,500 for each of the months of January, February,
March, April, May, and June. Costs and expenses, not to exceed
$500 per month without prior approval, will also be billed on the
invoices. All personnel providing services on this matter will
record their time which will be billed at a rate of $75 per hour.
In July, 1984, the Municipal Legislative Commission will receive a
anal billing for expenses and total services rendered in excess of
e $45,000 total of the regular monthly retainers. The firm
guarantees that the additional fees billed in July of 1984 will not
exceed $15,000, regardless of the total services the firm is called
upon to render through June 30, 1984. I have enclosed for your
information a copy of the firm's policy regarding payment of fees.
We are all very excited and honored to have been chosen by the
Municipal: Legislative Commission for this important task. We all
look forward to working closely with members of the commission and
achieving our objectives and goals. Thank you once again for the
confidence you have shown in the firm.

Re: Resolution Requesting Information from Independent School
District 9196
Dear Beverly:
As mayor of the, fastest growing city in the State of Minnesota, I am
often contacted by residents of our community who reside in
Independent School District #196 concerning when construction will
commence for the Eagan High.School. Without a doubt, most residents
in our community who reside in ISD #196 believe a high school will
be constructed in the near future on property which was purchased
directly east of Northview Elementary School.
The City of Eagan is regarded within the Twin Cities metropolitan
area as the most viable community for growth and development in the
next several years. Our planning commission and city council
meetings are quite lengthy every month due to the number of new
residential plats that are creating lots for further housing unit
sites within the City. Most all of that growth will occur in the
thousands of acres undeveloped withing ISD #196.
Many residents who have asked about the time schedule for the com-
pletion of a high school in Eagan have also expressed their satis-
faction in the previous attitude'of the school board to decentralize
high schools within the district by spreading the enrollment to
three (3) high schools rather than concentrating a great number of
students in one or two high schools. It has been expressed to me
that the ability for students at the high school level to achieve in
their classwork and to participate in extracurricular activities is
more obtainable if the high school is designed for no greater than
2,000 students.

I certainly feel 'the school district as well as all cities within
ISD #196 must work together to achieve the best long range educa-
tional objectives for our present and future students. It is my
intention to work with the mayors and community leaders of the other
cities and do everything I can to support the continuation of this
philosophy in years to come. Therefore, I offer a resolution for
your consideration that my city council is aware of but has not had
an opportunity to formally adopt. This resolution is objective and
asks for the answers to basic questions based 'on -facts - from the
school administration and our own city administration for 'future
review by the school board.
n
U
We must not let our emotions, whether they are related to bigger and
better sports objectives, individual school recognition or whatever
the case, overshadow the educational philosophy of the school
district. Therefore, I submit this resolution and the time of our
staff and my personal effort with other communities to work on the
answers to these basic questions in a methodical and objective
fashion with the hopes .that a referendum can be scheduled for the •
fall of 1984 with the answers to these questions presented to
residents within our school district before the referendum.

RE: Sperry Semiconductor Noise Impact On the Timberline Residen-
tial Neighbor o0
Dear John and Tom:
In official action that was taken by the Eagan City Council
at a regular meeting held on Tuesday, February 7, 1984, the
City Attorney was directed to review a future course of action
with the Sperry Corporation if the level of noise emissions
are not lowered to an acceptable noise standard for the Timberline
neighborhood by April 1, 1984. The position of the City Attorney
regarding the directive to the City Council will be considered
at the April 3, 1984, City Council meeting if the noise emission
level is not satisfactorily resolved by that date.
Later in the City Council meeting I was directed by the City
Council to obtain a noise meter from a State agency and direct
a member of the City staff to establish several bench marks
between the Sperry and Timberline properties and conduct noise
readings. These noise readings will be conducted and recorded
at different times, including both daytime and nighttime hours,
and under a variety of atmospheric conditions. This information
will be available for City Council and public inspection at
the April 3, 1984, City Council meeting.
Tom, I am returning the original affidavit and exhibits to the
affidavit as you requested.
On behalf of the City Council, we are hopeful that measures
Sperry is taking will resolve the noise emission problems that
have been causing grief to the Timberline neighborhood. Any
questions you might have about the action course of the City
are welcome at any time.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Kelso:

As I explained to you by phone yesterday, Sperry's new factory in Eagan is
emitting noise at a high level from its roof -mounted ventilator stacks and
this noise is making sleep difficult in our neighborhood. Sperry insists
that its emissions are within MPCA guidelines whereas, based upon sound
measurements I had taken, its noise emissions are far in excess of the
allowable levels.
I am enclosing a copy of the strip art data taken by Sperry's in-house
• people back in August 1983. It is the latest data that Sperry has made
available. Note that in taking these measurements, the noise sources
were turned on, one -at -a -time, and even then are only a shade below the
50 dBA limit provided by your regulations. The test which it took
apparently does not show the combined effect of having all of these noise
sources operational simultaneously.
•
Today, I learned that when Sperry went out for bids on the sound
abatement equipment, it advised potential bidders that the noise at one
exhaust stack was at 104 dB and that existing 300 meters away was 63-65
dB. We find that hard to reconcile with the information Sperry provided
to City authorities via the enclosed report.
I believe you have a copy of the Fulton affidavit which reflects the test
results which I undertook to have taken and which shows linear dB
readings in the range between 63 and 76 at a point just outside my
bedroom window.
Should it later become necessary to bring a lawsuit to abate the public
nuisance which Sperry is creating, we believe it would be helpful to have
the MPCA monitor the noise emissions and provide a report to the City of
Eagan, copies to our homeowner association and to Sperry reflecting your
findings.

Also, since the City of Eagan has shown a reluctance to enforce its own
ordinances against a large corporate employer, if your monitoring reveals
violations of the MPCA noise level standards, we would appreciate any
assistance which your agency can provide as far as compelling compliance
is concerned.
1 and my neighbors stand ready to provide whatever information and
assistance may be necessary to conduct the monitoring operations. Sperry
is creating a nightmare situation in our neighborhood and we need help
immediately.

Dear Mr. Turcotte:
1 had hoped by this time to have had the opportunity to meet with you
concerning the noise pollution created by Sperry's Semiconductor Factory.
Bob Falstad, your Law Department attorney, indicated over a week ago
that he would have you call, but apparently he or you felt that this would
be unnecessary.
Since taking over as Vice President and General Manager of the
Semiconductor Operations, 1 don't know to what extent you have been
briefed on the intolerable situation your factory has created as far as your
• neighbors on the north are concerned or the remedial actions supposedly
undertaken in an attempt to cure the problem. Information provided to
me today makes it clear that the Sperry people who have been addressing
this problem have been acting in bad faith. Specifically, last summer
when the complaints started pouring in, Sperry personnel conducted
certain tests along the north property line and concluded, based upon
those tests, that the noise emissions were within the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency guidelines. Those tests proved to be incomplete and
inaccurate. Also, as it turns out, Sperry knew that those tests and the
representations being made with respect to them were false or
misleading.
L
Only after the Eagan City Council passed a resolution finding Sperry in
violation of the applicable zoning ordinance under which it is operating
did your people initiate any steps to correct the problem. Way last
October, while insisting that it was in compliance with applicable MPCA
regulations, it offered to put sound attenuating equipment on all of the
noise sources on the roof of your building. It later reneged on that
promise as well.
4 a
• Mr. David Turcotte
February 9, 1984
Page Two
Be that as it may, when it went out to obtain bids on an attenuator to be
placed on the basement ventilating stack, I have been informed that it
advised prospective bidders that the noise at the stack was at a level of
104 dB and that the noise level at the property line was 63-665 dB, values
far in excess of the MPCA guidelines and far in excess of the data earlier
provided to Eagan officials.
The Sperry representatives also indicated that a 19 -week lead-time would
be needed to design, procure and install the sound abatement equipment.
That estimate was made back in mid-October at the time that your people
were promising to equip all of the stacks with the attenutors.
Subsequently, the Sperry people decided unilaterally that only one
attenuator would be needed. It did not revise the lead-time downward in
any fashion, even though the project had been cut way back in scope.
On several occasions over the past months I called Mr. Michaud and
inquired whether the sound abatement equipment procurement was on
schedule. He assured me that it was. Then, at the City Council meeting
on February 7, he effectively asked for an additional 6 weeks beyond the
19 weeks originally projected.
• I found out today that the contract for obtaining the attenuator was let on
February 3, 1984, only two days before the City Council meeting. It was
also determined that the cost of the item in question was about $3,000.
The six diverters are estimated to cost an additional $500.00 each. Thus,
the total cost of the fix planned by Sperry is way less than $10,000.
•
It is almost obscene that a company of your size and stature would subject
the neighboring residents to the noise emissions you have when an
expenditure of such a nominal amount could have resolved the problem. I
think you should require an explanation from the personnel involved as to
why this matter has been allowed to drag on as long as it has and why a
still further six-week extension of time is needed to complete it.
I venture to say more has been spent by Sperry on meetings about this
problem than on the cost of the noise abatement installation itself.
The mendacity exhibited with respect to the testing and decibel readings
provided by Sperry to City representatives made it necessary for me to
hire a noise expert who undertook to take tests at my home only to verify
what Sperry knew all along, ix, that its noise emissions were well above
those permitted by the MPCA regulations. I think it is only fair that
Sperry reimburse me for that outlay.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
February 8, 1984
Metropolitan Council
300 Metro Square Building
St. Paul, Minnesota 55101
During the past month, there has been much discussion in Mendota
Heights about possible detrimental effects of the proposed Eagan race
track facility on residential areas of our community. In particular,
residents of the Friendly Hills subdivision, located approximately one
mile north of the site, have voiced concern that the race track would lead
to undesireable noise and traffic impacts on their neighborhood. At its
meeting of February 7, 1984, the Council was presented with a petition
signed by 547 persons, expressing their opposition to the racing facility.
In response, the City Council passed a motion to notify you that the
Council, in support of the majority of its residents living south of TH 110
and east of Lexington Avenue, cannot support the location of a racing facility
in Section 1 of the City of Eagan.
It is planned that a Council/resident informational meeting will be held
in the City of Mendota Heights in early March to review the Environmental
Impact Statement. Any further Council comments that may emanate from the
review and meeting will be forwarded to you for your timely consideration.

Eagan answers concerns T
about racetrack location
On Feb. 6, the Mendota Heights City t ouncil
received a four-page letter from Fagan Administrator
T%Hedge giving ap 'initial response" to concerns
about a proposed horse racing track in northeast
Fagan. The Mendota Heights council wrote Eagan
Jan. 18 at the request of citizens fearful that a track
would cause increased noise, traffic, crime and diver-
sion of aircraft over Mendota Heights.
Below aie excerpts from Hedges' letter.
On diversion of aircraft:
'The City Council has addressed this issue emphat-
ically by a resolution that no request for deviation of
flight path will be permitted by the City of Eagan ...
the developers have agreed with the Metropolitan Air-
ports Commission (MAC) to grant to MAC a so-called
air easement, which gives to MAC the right to fly air-
craft over the site, together with the right to cause
any noise attendant to the ordinary operation of such
aircraft The applicant has agreed with MAC that this
easement will be executed as a part of its application
to the Minnesota Racing Commission. From the point
of view of our staff, it is hard to conceive of a more
definitive resolution of the matter"
On noise from the track itself:
"The midpoint of the grandstand is located slightly
more than .66 miles due south of the Interstate 494
right -Of -way, and separated therefrom by a series of
low-lying hills. (The racetrack is to be built into a
natural bowl between a series of hills.) It Is the opin-
ion of our consultants that it is extremely unlikely
that an individual standing on the south border of the
494 right-of-way will be either able to see (at night) or
hear the racetrack ... and that it is inconceivable
there will be a noise impact from the track on resi-
dents living more than a half mile north of the 494
right -Of -way. -
On increased traffic on Dodd Road (Highway
149) and Delaware Avenue..
"Local roads are eNxvW to experience oaly minor
Increases in traffic Highway 149 north of In-,
terstate 494 will experience a 5 percent increase in?
traffic directly attributable to the racetrack ..'. Dela-1
ware Avenue will have a 7% percent increase in.traf-
fic as a result of the racetrack."
On increased crime:
"The Minnesota Jockey Club will be required to hire
its own security force consisting of fully trained and
certified warrant officers and fire safety person
nel... The Eagan Police and byre Departments con-
ducted extensive research on these sobjecty. Their .
opinions, as reported to the Eagan City Council, are i
that there does not appear to be an increased demand
for fire service from a racetrack, and there does not I
appear to be an increased demand on public safety,
officers with the possible exception of traffic control,
which will be handled by uniformed, off-duty officers
paid by the racing facility. There appears to be a very
modest amount of peripheral crime, at or below the
level that would be expected in a regional shopping
center."
On the representation of Mendota Heights' inter.
eats in the environmental impact statement done
on the site, expected this mouth:
"Please be assured that the analysis of the impacts
associated with the proposed land use development
(which includes the racetrack) is not at all limited to
the political jurisdiction of Eagan, but rather includes
the entire subregion (including Mendota Heights, Sun.
fish Lake and Inver Grove Heights)."

Decision on track .
site still pending
By DORIS KELLEHER '
The proposal of a race track at Eagan could be a case of "much adc
about nothing", according to Frank Svoboda of BRW Planners whc
have done the EA W (Environmental Assessment Worksheet) and the
scoping y Club sitc
development 5proposal and are worion for the Laukkaa king Minnesota g onthe E S (Environmental
Impact Statement).
Svoboda said although Eagan is a strong contender, Blaine and
Shakopee also have already gone through the EAW and other
preparations and are now working on the EIS. And, Woodbury and
Savage are beginning the necessary process.
Svoboda said that although certain aspects will not be addressed in
the EIS, they are looking at housing projections, public services and
the existing zoning in the surrounding communities.
His firm is also involved in the development of the site other than the
track which will include retail shops, off ice show room, and straight
'office space.
The track is proposed on 2344 acres. included within the.track
development will bea grandstand with initial seating capacity for 7,500
persons and full development seating for 15,000. Grandstand parking
would include 4.100 regular parking spaces with an additional 3,630
spaces to accommodate overflow parking.
Other facilities developed In conjunction with the race track will
include a combination administration/cafeteria building, receiving

Proposed site in Eagan:
e track plan. spursac
By DORIS KELLEHER
The three areas most affected by
a race track in Eagan would be the
city of Eagan- itself, Mendota
Heights, Sunfish Lake and Inver
Grove Heights.
. Mayor Bill Saed of Inver Grove
Heights, indi££ated his city council
has continousfgsupporled the pro -
poral of a racetrack in Eagan.
"in fact we hoped N see it in the
city of Inver Grove Heights but we
had no appropriate site," Sued said.
He said he can see there will be
many benefits from the track such
as auxiliary businesses springing
up around it which will provide
additional employment.
"it will be a boon to Eagan and
some of it is bound to spill over into
Inver Grove Heights," the mayor
said.
Sunfish Lake mayor Duncan
Baird said he and his residents are
..very upset."
"We are planning to have a reso-
lution passed at the next council
eeting opposing the track in
agan. It violates all the plans for
northern Dakota County which was
to be a prime residential area. You
don't have this with a race track
WEST- Si PquL
ngxt door."
He indicated his city's citizens
are "tired of going to the mat but we
have an impeccable record for
being implacable in resistance."
He said the city was "hurt about h
losingthe highwaysuit" butwentas e
far as they could with it—to the
"Supreme Court".
"We now feel battered with air-
planes, race track and the proposed
highway," Baird said. b
He indicated that 82 percent of the d
planes go over Sunfish Lake and y
although they have tried to operate
through the noise abatement coun- a
cit they have had no luck.
"I am not sure what we will do
publicly or privately regarding the i
track," Baird said. "We were not
included in the EAW neither was t
Mendota Heights."
He said the city has requested fi
they be included in.the EIS. "If we
are not included there is one possi-
bility we could go to court and ask o
all operations be suspended until we
are included." c
Mendota Heights mayoi Bob t
Lockwood said his official opinion
was stated in the letter sent to the
Eagan mayor and council following
the Jan. 17 meeting when Friendly
IHills residents attended the council
meeting opposing the track at
Eagan.
The letter stated that about 90
people living in several neighbor-
oods located near the city's south-
rn boundary attended the council
meeting concerned about the pro-
posed race track.
"These residents asked the coun-
cil to take action to oppose the track
ut the council declined after due
eliberation and instead voted that
ou be advised of the issues that do
pose a concern for both residents
nd council members," the letter
continued.
The areas of concern are: rezon-
ng or pressure for changing land
issues between Friendly Hills and
he proposed track; public safety—
the need for additional police and
re protection as well as increased
crime in the area surrounding the

that air traffic will be diverted
northerly of the existing flight cor-

operations.
It was acknowledged the EIS
would address some of these con-
cerns, the letter stated, as related to
the site in Eagan. But residents
concerned it the EIS addresses
these concerns as they affect the
area beyond the Eagan limits. .
It was specifically requested the
EIS contain the appropriate in-
formation addressing the above is-
sues as they affect Mendota Heights
and the immediate area, the letter
continued.

Mendota Heights
says nay to track
location
I By Beth Gauper '
Staff Writer
A resolute crowd of Mendota
Heights residents got its wish las
week, as the Mendota Heights Cit
Council agreed to formally
a proposed horse -raring track
Eagan.
Confronted by the crowd and
petition signed by 7 percent of the
city's population, the council voted
3-1 to send letters registering i
opposition to the track to Eagan
the Metropolitan Council and th
Minnesota Racing Commission,
which hopes to choose a track site
by the end of March. Councilwom-
an Liz Witt abstained from voting.

dozens of calls against it, and not

Councilman Jim Losleben said
he thought the track would disrupt
life in Mendota Heights, whose
southern border is one-half milt
from the proposed traca m.
"In the community we have now

week," he said. "A racetrack on
that location is going to dramati-
cally change the weekend appear

Robert Lockwood also voted to op-
pose the track.
Councilman John Hartmann said
he did not think the evidence
showed the track would be a nui-
sance. He voted against the resolu-
tion. -

is that the individual members and

Sunfish Lake protests

Staff Writer
Tiny Sunfish Lake, long frustrat-
ed in its fight against Interstate
494, has entered a new fray on its
southwest frontier.
The Sunfish Lake Council voted
4-0 last week against the proposed
borne -racing track site in north-
west Fagan, becoming the first
city council to formally oppose one
of the eight proposed track sites.
'Sunfish Lake was joined a day lat-
er by Mendota Heights, in which
the council, by a vote of 3-1 with
one abstention, decided to register
its opposition to the Fagan site
Sunfish Lake Mayor Duncan
Baird said he had known as early
as but slimmer that the site was.
nearby, but did nothing until he
heard Mendota Heights residents
had mobilized egg it. Fagan, he
said, "is a very large community
with a lot of muscle."
"rd been very coacemed about
it "._gaird said. "Sadd 1 It oe-
ot>rred to me I aaeo't,alone any-
-more.'
Despite his concern, Baird did
financing for the track. "I muffed
the ball," he said.
A racetrack, Baird said, would
have
SIV adverse impact"
on Sunfish Lake, a 1% -square -
mile, semi -rural community of ex-
pensive homes at Eagan's north-
east tip.
'"lois whole area Is designed to
be a high-class bedroom area, and
to put a racetrack in the middle of
it is bad news," he said. "Generally
you get a bunch of things that are
not desirable. When you live in an
area like this and people are flock-
ing all over, the results are inevita-
ble. They'll be poking down our
driveways, picnicking on our
lawns,. and throwing garbage
around. Do we want a whorehouse
across the street?"
Sunfish Lake will be separated
from Eagan by I494 and from the
site itself by one-half mile, but cars
will still have access from Dela-
ware Avenue and South Hobert.
'However, says MoM traffic en-
meer Michael Robinson, "With a

Still, Baird said, the track would
threaten the existence of his care-
fully planned town.
"One of the things that's hard for
people to realize is our budget over
the years has ranged from $70,000
to $90,000 a year, and 25 percent of
that we spend on planning," Baird
said. "We paid for and filed a com-
prehensive plan, having said this is
bow we're going to be, and it's ac-
cepted by the Metropolitan Coun-
cil Then we get this kind of thing.
We don't have all the resources in
the world, we're trying to do the
best we can, and here comes some-
body sticking a torpedo in it. We
spent $35,000 for nothing, and it's

The decision on who will build and

horse racing track Is expected to be
made by mid-April, the Chairman
Ray Ellot'of the Minnesota Racing
Camm`kslon said Tuesday,,_., .
Though there are eight prospective
groups with sites vying for the li-

In the seven -county metropolitan
area, EUot said he believes only tour
or five applications for the license
will be submitted to the commission.
Some Could drop out of the competi-
tion because they cannot meet dead.
lines or because the application
process is so expensive.
•"The nine -member commission adopt.
ed rules yesterday that will be used
to decide which group gets the It -
cense. The deadline for applications
Is 5 p.m., March 1. - ..
"I expect them all (to be submitted)
at quarter to five on March 1," Eliot
said.
"It probably is going totake us 45
days to go through them (after the
deadline)," Eliot said. "I think we
:can arrive at a decision Inside of 45
days"
'Ellot.also sold that the track could
open 14 or 15 months after the 11 -
'cense is (sued. That would put the
opening date In June or July of 1988.
'Me chairman has said that It would
'lake a miracle" to open a track In
1985. He said yesterday that a mir-
acle still may be needed.

There are three or four other obsta-
cles that could prevent a 1985 loau-

protest from a.group In Eagan. He
said there Is concern that an Eagan

selected in April and could run its
first horse races by July 1985.
Eliot said his optimistic timeta-
ble assumes that no lawsuits Will
be filed to challenge the commis-
sion's licensing process. Track li-
cense appplications must be submit-
ted to the commission by March 1.
Eight suburban sites in Dakota,
Washington, Anoka and Scott coun-
ties have been proposed for the $50
million track. The commission ex-
pects to get formal license applica-
tions for six or ore of the sites.

The contenders include Eagan,

to determine whether the track has
metropolitan significance, requir-
ing more reviews.
The commission removed anoth-
er potential problem by approving
a policy banning strikes and lock-
outs during construction of the fa-
cility.
Under the policy, a track devel-
oper would have to agree with the
state AFL. -CIO building trades
council on no strikes or lockouts.

■ Continued from Page 1 C
The policy was proposed by
Commissioner Dan Gustafson,
Golden Valley, secretary -treasurer
of the state AFL. -CIO.
Fifty rules governing the track
license process received final ap.
proval by the commission after mi-
nor modifications were made at
the suggestion of state hearing ex-
aminers.
The commission also received a
county fair racing request from the
Traverse County Racing Commis-
sion based in Wheaton.
James Schoenrock, chairman of
the group, said that the fair would
like to have five days of thorough-
bred and quarterhorse races begin-
ning next year. He said the group is
ready to spend $50,000 to upgrade
its horse barns and track for pari-
mutuel racing.
Eliot advised the group that It
may have to spend more money
than that to provide secure stables, j
fencin and proper betting facili-
ties. The commission intends to li-
cense county fair races after the
Twin Cities track license is issued.

Mayor Bea Blomquist

Dear Mayor Blomquist:
Our Development Corporation has followed the Horse Racing
Facility issue with a great deal of interest. Recently,
the Board endorsed the Eagan site.
In addition, the Board requested that a notice of this
action be sent to the Mayors of area communities, along
with a request that similar action to considered by those
communities.
Copies of the letters to those Mayors are enclosed, along
with a copy of the accompanying resolution.
If you feel there is any additional work that we could do,
please don't hesitate to let us know.
Sincerely,
�{,f fcdJ4�

• The Inver Grove Heights Development Corporation has evaluated the pro-
posed sites for the Twin Cities Horse Racing facility, and supports the
site proposed for the City of Eagan.
The Development Corporation believes that with the completion of I-494
and the reconstruction of Minnesota 49, and with the transportation network
formed by other highways in the vicinity, the Eagan site is the most access-
ible one to the horse racing facility's primary and secondary markets.
Furthermore, its accessibility to the Twin Cities Metropolitan Airport pro-
vides an additional convenience for non -local owners, breeders, trainers,
and fans.
Additionally, the rural nature of Dakota County, the excellent local
transportation network in the county, and the availability of land for
small acreage farms, combine to offer facilities and amenities that will
encourage and foster the horse -breeding industry.
The Development Corporation further believes that the project propon-
ents have prepared a development plan that addresses the health and safety
concerns of the public, the comfort requirements of racing patrons and
participants, and the financing requirements of the investment community.
The inclusion in the development plan of sites that will adequately accom-
modate the supporting commercial services needed by the public is an in-
telligent land use decision that will be instrumental in preventing future
congestion.
• Finally, the Development Corporation views the Project Review Procedures
conducted by the City of Eagan, and the city's subsequent approval of all
aspects of the proposal, as evidence of both a thorough examination of the
project's potential impacts, and of enthusiastic citizen support for the
project. The citizens and officials of the City of Eagan are commended
for their thorough and expeditious review of the proposal.
0
For those reasons, as well as because of the projected new employment
and additional taxable valuation which the horse racing facility will gen-
erate, the Inver Grove Heights Development Corporation supports the Eagan
site, urges the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Racing Commission
to designate it as the Twin Cities' Horse Racing Facility, and urges the
City of Inver Grove Heights to consider action supporting the Eagan pro-
posal.

Enclosed herewith please find the cost participation associated with the above
referenced project as it relates to State Project 1985-76 (T.M. 494-393).
• The City cost participation based on the Schedule I'dated September.26, 1983
does not include increasing the GE for West Blue Gentian to 20. Recent phone
conversations with Mn/DOT indicate the City share would increase by $19,000
while the actual construction cost would increase $64,000. Due to time con-
straint associated with bidding S.P. 1985-76, the GE increase will be accomp-
lished with a supplemental agreement after the bid date. A summary of the
City cost participation for S.P. 1985-76 is summarized below:
CITY PARTICIPATION
Schedule I, 9-26-83 $25,105.21
GE 20 West Blue Gentian Road 19,000.00
Sub -Total $44,105.21
+ 4.31% Mobilization, Field Office, Traffic Control, Etc. 1,901.50,
Sub -Total $46,006.71
8% Construction Engineering 3,680.54
TOTAL CITY .................... $49,687.24
is
Therefore it is assumed that Mn/DOT portion will be the project cost for
street less the City participation ($429,390 - $49,687.24 = $379,700) as
shown on the Summary for Revenue Sources.

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1984
SUBJECT: AGENDA INFORMATION MEMO/FEBRUARY 21, 1984 COUNCIL MEETING
After approval of the February 7, 1984 regular City Council minutes
and the agenda for the February 21, 1984 regular City Council
meeting, the following items are in order for consideration:
FIRE DEPARTMENT
• A. Fire Department -- There are no items to be considered under
Fire Department at this time.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
B. Police Department -- There are no items to be considered under
Police Department at this time.
PARK & RECREATION DEPARTMENT
C. Park & Recreation Department -- There are no items to be con-
sidered under Parks & Recreation Department at this time.
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
D. Public Works Department -- There are no items to be considered
• under Public Works Department at this time.
PROTECTIVE INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT
E. Protective Inspections Department -- During 1983, the 1978 Nova
(used police car) was approved for replacement in the Building In-
spection Department. The City authorized the purchase of a 1984
one-half ton pickup (F100) in the amount of $8,916 from Southview
Chevrolet. The department's budget for equipment certificates in
1983 has been considered at $10,500, and due to a price break, the
equipment, according to specifications, was purchased at the $8,916
figure. This equipment has been delivered and is being used pri-
marily by the Assistant Building Inspector/Fire Marshal. The Chief
Building Inspector anticipated replacement for the 1975 Ford F100
pickup that has been used by the Fire Marshal. This unit is experi-
encing a number of mechanical problems as well as body problems
and should be considered for replacement. The Building Inspector
had anticipated the replacement this year and requested $10,500
in the operating budget for 1984 which was omitted by the City Coun-
cil with the understanding it would be later considered as a possi-

ble equipment certificate. The City Administrator addressed the
City Council at the January 18 City Council meeting and was advised
to contact Peoples Natural Gas Company and any other users of the
small compact pickups to determine whether these pickups are proving
to be more efficient than the full size pickups for performance,
longevity and resale. The Chief Building Inspector has made a com-
parison of the compact pickups and standard pickups and a copy of
his response is found on page -3.. The Chief Building Inspector
has also had the 1975 For assessed by the maintenance garage and
the repair work that is needed is estimated at approximately $1,000
with no consideration for labor. Currently, that pickup is not
being used due to a break in transmission problem. Enclosed on
pages through E_ is a copy of a memorandum from Chief Buil-
ding Inspector Peterson to the City Administrator reviewing the •
equipment problems.
Because the Inspection Department is working primarily in new sub-
divisions and often streets and driveways are in a rough preliminary
grade status, the P100 has proven to be very efficient as a vehicle
for those conditions. The analysis between a full size vehicle
and compact is brief and a more comprehensive study can be made
if the City Council so desires. If the City Council desires to
purchase a second half -ton pickup, Southview Chevrolet will recog-
nize the $8916 bid for a 1984 heavy duty half -ton pickup cr-pati:ole
with the pickup purchased in December 1983. This equipment would
be purchased from equipment. c:crtificates in 1984.
For City Council reference, the other vehicle that is used in the
Building Inspection Department is a used police Citation which the
Chief Building Inspector uses for meetings, inspections and general •
use within the department. The mechanical and electrical inspectors
are paid as consultants and therefore use their own vehicles. The
new plan check personnel to be hired by the City will perform most
of his or her work in City Hall and would utilize, for the present,
the Citation jointly with the Chief Building Inspector.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny authoriza-
tion to purchase an F100 half -ton pickup in the amount of $8,916
from Southview Chevrolet as an authorized expenditure under 1984
equipment certificates.

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: DALE PETERSON, CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIA
RE: COMPARISON OF COMPACT PICKUPS AND STANDARD PICKUPS
FOR DEPARTMENT USE
I have discussed American made compact pickups with Peoples
Natural Gas, Eagan Public Works and shop mechanics at two
dealerships. I also have studied the U.S. Department of
Energy's 1984 EPA fuel economy estimates.
The Chevrolet GMC and Ford compacts with six cylinder engines
and automatic transmission have provided their owners with a
fuel consumption of 19 - 22 miles per gallon and maintenance
costs were good and somewhat less than the standard pickup.
• Standard pickups by the same manufacturers with the same equip-
ment, bought with a 300 - 310 cubic inch V8 engine, averaged
13 - 17 miles per gallon and the base price was $300 to $500
more. Peoples Natural Gas reported that their experience with
compact pickups manufactured outside the United States have
proved unsatisfactory and American made are satisfactory for
ordinary uses. All of the operators and mechanicss were doubt-
ful though that the compacts would be feasible for the amount
of off -,street use demanded by the department because of the
lower ground clearances and the difference of the material
strength used in the full-size pickups. It also is unknown
whether or not the compact pickups will give the five-year

RE: UNIT #501, 1975 FORD
The manual three -speed transmission of Unit 501 failed on or about
January 18. This was in addition to the already dangerous brakes.
We had hoped to keep it operating as it was the most feasible one •
to use until the replacement for 502 was authorized.
Bill Branch, Superintendent of Public Works, prepared a repair estimate
on 501 for me in hopes it would be economically feasible to make it last
for a few more miles. The resulting estimate using almost all in-house
labor was $917. aryl that was to do the minim= repairs as required by
law.
I
I have enclosed Bill's cost breakdown for your use. It would be unfair
for the inspectors to use their own cars as the City's 200 per, mile car
allowance is about one-half of the actual cost to operate their wm vehicle.
Thank you for your consideration of this problem.

Agenda Information Memo
February 21, 1984 City Council Meeting
Page Three
There are six (6) items on the agenda referred to as the Consent
Agenda requiring one (1) motion by the City Council. If the City
Council desires to discuss any of the items in further detail, those
items should be removed from the Consent Agenda and placed under
Additional Items unless the discussion required is brief.
PERSONNEL ITEMS
A. Personnel Items -- There are two (2) personnel items for consi-
deration.
• 1. The City has been able to obtain a level' one custodian
through the Minnesota Emergency Employment Development
Act (MEED) for six months at a rate of compensation of
$4.00 per hour. There is no expense to the City of Eagan.
The person is Jeff McGuffee. Mr. McGuffee is our park
foreman's, Jim McGuffee, brother. Mr. McGuffee will not
be working under any supervision or at any time with his
brother. Since the position is not a full-time position
with the City and is being sponsored through the MEED pro-
gram, there is no conflict with our existing personnel
policy.
2. The City has budgeted, in the Police Department budget,
effective March 1, 1984, the hiring of a full-time police
officer. Chief of Police Berthe is recommending that
Steven Grimm, who is currently a cadet with the Eagan
• Police Department, be appointed by the City Council as
a full-time officer. Mr. Grimm has completed all of his
schooling and P.O.S.T. requirements to become a licensed
police officer in the State of Minnesota.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the hiring of
Mr. McGuffee under the MEED program and Mr. Grimm as a new patrol
officer to be effective March 1, 1984.
MEED AGREEMENT
B. MEED Agreement -- Dakota County has forwarded to the City for
execution the form MEED agreement covering the employment by the
City of Eagan of persons under the MEED program. Presently, there
are four such employees. These include Annette Kinstler in Adminis-
tration, John Bergstrom in Protective Inspections, James Strum in
Parks & Recreation and Jeff McGuffee in General Government Buil-
dings.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To authorize the Mayor and
City Clerk to execute the MEED agreement.

CONTRACT 82-7/CHANGE ORDER #2
C. Contract 82-7, change Order #2, Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition
(Streets s Utilities) -- Change Order #2 for this contract consists
of three parts:
A. Prior to the completion of the street surfacing in the
third addition, the developer had not completed his overall
site grading. Subsequently, in order to complete the
grading on the north end of the project, it was necessary
that the material be moved over the partially completed
street construction. It was agreed that this development
would be responsible for any subsequent damage to the road
bed caused by this dirt moving operation. (Add $4,713.08.) •
B. The contract proposal inadvertantly omitted a requested
bid item to complete the storm sewer system as designed
within the approved plans. Subsequently, this work was
performed on a time and material basis. (Add $662.35.)
C. During the site grading and excavation work by the develo-
per, the developer buried his tree removal and miscellane-
ous debris along the alignment of the proposed storm sewer
which resulted in extra costs to correct the pipe bedding
for the storm sewer. Due to the fact that this tree and
debris burial was unauthorized within the City easement,
the developer is responsible for the costs incurred by
the City's contractor. (Add $1,561.54.)
All costs associated with this change order will become the respon-
sibility of the development and included in the final assessment •
figures. The total increase for Change Order #2 to be added to
Contract #82-7 is $6,936.97.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve Change Order #2
to Contract 82-7 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
all related documents.

FEASIBILITY REPORT/PROJECT 394
D. Project 394, Receive Feasibility Report/Order Plans & Specifi-
cations (Yankee Doodle Reservoir - Repainting) -- The approved 1984
utility budget provided for the repainting of the Yankee Doodle
Road 5.0 M.G. water reservoir. This reservoir has not been re-
painted since its construction in 1971. Subsequently, the Public
Works Director requested that a feasibility report be prepared and
it is now being presented to the Council, a copy is enclosed on
pages �_ through _�, for your review and approval. Due to
the fact that there are no assessments associated with this project
and that the funding has been provided for in the 1984 utility bud-
get', no public hearing is necessary. Therefore, the Public Works
• Director is requesting authorization from the City Council to pre-
pare detailed plans and specifications which will be reviewed by
the Council in further detail during March.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the feasibility
report for Project 394 (Yankee Doodle Reservoir Repainting) and
approve the preparation of detailed plans and specifications for

SCOPE: This project provides for the repainting of the exterior of the 5.0
million gallon water reservoir. This reservoir is located along Yankee Doodle
Road, just west of State Highway 149.
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The subject project is feasible from an en—
gineering standpoint. It is most effectively bid as a single project.
DISCUSSION: The 5.0 M.G. Yankee Doodle Road water reservoir was constructed
and originally painted in 1971. The reservoir has not yet been repainted.
In 1980, this reservoir was completed drained and thoroughly inspected.
• This inspection indicated deterioration of the exterior surface painting. The
interior paint system, however, had not yet deteriorated to any significant
degree. Tiny paint blisters were evident, but no peeling or flaking of the
existing paint system had occurred.
Our recent inspection of this reservoir site confirmed that the exterior
paint coating has significantly deteriorated. Among the more noticeable signs
of this situation is a large amount of rust formation on the relatively flat
tank roof, and rock chips and carved graffiti on the sides. The coating on
the tank interior as observed from the manhole in the top appears to still be
• in quite good condition.
It is recommended that only the exterior tank coating be replaced with
this project.
In light of the relatively good condition of the tank interior coating and
the continued use of an effective cathodic protection system which minimizes
corrosion, it is believed that significant additional life is attainable from
the existing interior coating.
Page 1.
9249b
We do recommend, however, that the interior be inspected annually to de-
termine when recoating will be required. Recoating will probably. be required
in another 3 to 5 years.
The original tank exterior coating system was a Tnemec No. 77 Chem -Prime
metal primer followed by two coats of Tnemec Exterior Tnemec-Gloss Enamel.
The total dry paint thickness was checked and found to range from 4 - 6 mils.
The total thickness averaged just slightly over 4 mils.
Due to the severly deteriorated condition of the existing coating, it is
recommended that the entire exterior tank surface be given a commercial sand
blast cleaning to remove the present coating system and prepare the surface •
for proper paint application and adherance.
It is further proposed that a new coating system consisting of two epoxy -
polyimide prime coats followed by a finish coat of an aliphatic polyurethane
enamel be applied to the tank exterior. This proposed paint system is superi-
or to the existing paint system. It is designed to provide high resistance to
abrasion and corrosion, to provide long-term retention of initial color and
gloss, and, to provide easy removal of graffiti. This is the same exterior
paint system as that used on both the 2.0 M.G. Cliff Road reservoir and tho
4.0. M.G. Safari Pass reservoir.
Currently, the City name "Eagan" is not painted on this reservoir. Prior
to development of the repainting project specifications, it is recommended
that the Eagan City Council determine whether it wishes to have "Eagan'
painted on the reservoir as part of this project.
Relative to project scheduling, this reservoir repainting was originally
planned for the 1983 construction season. It was moved back to the 1984 con-
struction season to allow the new 4.0 M.G. Safari Pass reservoir to effective -
Page 2.
9249b
f2
ly increase Eagan's total water storage capacity and to minimize, as much as
possible, the impact of taking the 5.0 M.G. reservoir out of service for the
repainting period.
The timing of this project within the construction season is very criti—
cal. It is essential that this water reservoir be operational during the hot,
dry months in which water usage is greatest. Therefore, it is recommended
that the project commence as early in spring as weather permits, and that the
project completion date be set at June 15, 1984. It is also recommended that
• = substantial liquidated damages be specified to ensure chat this project is ex—
pedited.
COST ESTIMATE: The project costs are included below. It is anticipated that
this project would be bid on a lump sum basis.
Exterior Sand Blasting and Repainting $42,000
+ 5% Contingency 2,100
$44,100
+ 27% Legal, Engr., Admin. b Bond Interest 11.900
ESTIMATED PROJECT COST ................ $56,000
• - The estimated project cost includes 5% contingencies and 27% for
legal, engineering, administration and bond interest.
ASSESSMENTS: It is assumed that no assessments will be levied for this proj—
ect as it is an expected periodic maintenance item of the water storage system.
REVENUE: It is assumed that the entire cost of this project will be covered
by the water system renewal and replacement fund.

PROJECT 349/BLUE GENTIAN ROAD
A. Project 349, Blue Gentian Road (Streets -Storm Sewer) -- During
1983, MnDOT started finalizing the construction plans for the
easterly extension of I-494 and its interchange with T.H. 149 (Old
Dodd Road). Due to the configuration of this interchange, it was
necessary to relocate Blue Gentian Road further to the south. Sub-
sequently, segments of West Blue Gentian Road and East Blue Gentian
Road will be upgraded to City standards. Subsequently, the City
Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility report to dis-
cuss the benefits associated with the relocation and upgrading of
• East and West Blue Gentian Roads.
On January 17, the City Council formally received the feasibility
report for Project 349 and scheduled the public hearing to be held
on February 21. Enclosed on pages j9 -3S is a copy of the feasi-
bility report for your reference during the public hearing.
All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent
to all property owners who would be affected by this proposed im-
provement.
With the tight time frame associated with the progression of I-494,
It is important that this project be approved or denied on February
21 so that MnDOT can proceed with the advertisement for bids and
subsequent contract award during March.
• The Director of Public Works and Consulting Engineer will be availa-
ble to discuss the details associated with this project at the pub-
lic hearing.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To close the public hearing
and approve or deny Project 349 (Blue Gentian Road - Streets & Storm
Sewer).

SCOPE: This project provides for the construction of storm sewer and street
for Blue Gentian Road at T.H. No. 149. Improvements associated with Blue
Gentian Road are separated into that portion west and east of T.N. No. 149.
Improvements presented herein will be constructed by Mn/DOT as part of I-494
at T.H. No. 149 State Project No. 1985-76 (T.H. 494 = 393).
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The project described in this report is
feasible as it relates to engineering matters and is in accordance with the
•
Master Utility and
Streets Plans for the City
of Eagan.
The project as out-
lined herein will
be constructed by Mn/DOT
as part
of State Project No.
1985-76 (T.H. 499 = 393).
DISCUSSION:
STORM SEWER: Storm sewer improvements presented herein are separated into
storm sewer constructed as part of West Blue Gentian Road and East Blue
Gentian Road. Storm sewer included in East Blue Gentian Road consists of two
separate lateral systems as shown on the drawing located at the back of this
• report. Both storm sewer systems ultimately discharge into storm sewer pipe
included in I-494. ,Storm sewer pipe for this portion range in size from 12"
to 24" in diameter.
Storm sewer included within West Blue Gentian Road consists of two sep-
arate lateral storm sewer systems as shown on the attached drawing located at
the back of this report. The easterly storm sewer segment discharges to Pond
FP -1. The westerly storm sewer segment discharges directly into a Mn/DOT pond
located adjacent to I-494. Storm sewer pipe for this portion range in size
from 12 inch to 36 inch in diameter.
Page 1.
E -9106b
21
STREET: Street improvements presented herein are also separated into that
portion of Blue -Gentian Road constructed west and east of T.H. No. 149. East
Blue Gentian Road includes 2,187 feet of street constructed east of T.H. No.
149 as shown on the attached drawing. East Blue Gentian Road is a 32 feet
wide street constructed to a residential design thickness with bituminous sur-
facing and concrete curb and gutter. Due to the alignment of East Blue
Gentian Road being shifted southerly from the present alignment due to I-494,
a significant amount of tree removal and grading is required.
West Blue Gentian Road includes 3,241 feet of street constructed west of
T.H. No. 149 as shown on the attached drawing. West Blue Gentian Road is a 44 •
feet wide street constructed to a commercial design thickness with bituminous
surfacing and concrete curb and gutter. West Blue Gentian Road is being rough
graded as part of the RES Grading Permit 4ER02-082. Therefore, no construc-
tion is included for grading or subgrade correction as part of this project:

The total estimated coat for this project is $621,480 which includes con-
tingencies and all related overhead. Overhead costs are estimated at 27% and
include legal, engineering, administration, and bond interest.
ASSESSMENTS: Assessments are proposed to be assessed against the benefited
property along Blue Gentian Road. A preliminary assessment roll is included
in Appendix A located at the back of this report.
STORM SEWER: One half the cost of the lateral storm sewer included in
East Blue Gentian Road will be assessed on a front
foot basis
to the benefited
•
property located on the south side. The rate per
front foot
is determined by
dividing the total storm sewer amount in half and dividing that amount by the
assessable footage. The remaining cost (one-half) of the lateral storm sewer
will be the responsibility of Mn/DOT which has all of the abutting frontage on
the north side.
It is proposed the lateral storm sewer cost for West Blue Gentian Road
will be assessed on a front foot basis to the benefiting property on both
sides. Trunk storm sewer costs which includes storm sewer larger than 24 inch
in diameter will not be assessed, but will be the responsibility of the City •
trunk fund.
STREET: For East Blue Gentian Road, it is proposed to assess the benefit
from these street improvements to the adjacent property on the south side at
a residential equivalent rate. The residential equivalent rate assumes only
that amount of grading necessary to construct the street to the residential
design thickness. It is assumed the remaining amount required for grading
will be the responsibility of City and State funds. Calculations relating to
the residential equivalent rate are presented in Appendix A.

In accordance with. Special Assessment Policy #82-5, it is proposed to
assess the benefiting property for street improvements for West Blue Gentian
Road at the commercial/ industrial equivalent rate. This commercial/industrial
assessment rate per front foot is determined by dividing the total project
cost by the assessable footage.
Assessment rates presented herein will be revised based on final project
costs for the commercial/industrial rate for West Blue Gentian Road and bid
unit prices as they relate to the residential equivalent rate for East Blue
Gentian Road.

PROJECT 372/I -35E STREETS & UTILITIES
B. Project 372, I -35E (Streets 8 Utilities) -- During the past
several years, as the progression of I -35E through the City of Eagan
became more of a reality, the Public Works Director and Consulting
Engineer worked very closely with MnDOT to evaluate the impact of
this interstate through our community in relationship to relocation
of existing and construction of future streets and utilities. As
MnDOT's plans became more finalized, the City and the Consulting
Engineering firm were able to evaluate the needs for streets and
utility installation and subsequent benefit derived from adjacent
properties.
• Subsequently, a detailed feasibility report was prepared incorpora-
ting all proposed improvements associated with I -35E from Diffley
Road to just south of the Lone Oak Road interchange. Due to the
length of this 75 -page report, it is enclosed in your packets as
a separate document without page numbers for use during the public
hearing.
All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent
to property owners who would be assessed for the benefits received
from the improvements associated with this project. It is proposed
that all construction associated with this project would be per-
formed by MnDOT under a cost participation agreement. Due to the
tight time schedules associated with the construction of this sec-
tion of I -35E, it becomes important for the Council to take action
on this project at the public hearing on February 21 so that MnDOT
can proceed with the advertisement for bids for a contract award
in March of 1984.
• Enclosed on pages 3 % through 3 is a letter received from
Leo Murphy concerning this agenda item.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To close the public hearing
and approve, deny or modify Project 372 for the installation of
streets and utilities associated with I -35E.

CITY CODE UPDATE
A. City Code Update -- The original ordinance codification
was adopted effective January 1, 1983, when the first City Code
was formally implemented for the City of Eagan. Because of
legislative changes that occurred in 1983, the adoption of new
City legislation (ordinances) and a proposal to amend or adopt
new legislative ordinances,the City Administrator proposed an update
of the City Code. Upon City Council authorization the City staff,
specifically the City Administrator, Director of Finance, and Admin-
istrative Assistant in charge of the City Clerk Division of Finance,
have met with the City Attorney's office and Mr. Roger Jensen to
review all chapters of the City Code and discuss Minnesota legisla-
tive changes, City ordinance changes, and proposed City legislation.
• Mr. Jensen has codified all the revisions for the City Code which
includes all the changes that would occur for a reason referenced
above. The City Administrator has attempted to recognize the intent
of the City Council by keeping any and all ordinance amendments
that may attract a significant change in public policy out of the
ordinance codification. Those ordinances must be reviewed and
adopted as a separate agenda item and if approved, would be incor-
porated in a future City Code revision. Enclosed is a copy of
a memorandum from Roger Jensen'soffice to the City that incorporates
all the changes as previously discussed. The City staff will have
a final meeting to review all the City Code revisions as proposed
and any final changes will be shared with the City Council before
any action on Tuesday.
If there are any sections of the City Code revisions that the City
Council would like additional information or discussion on, they
could be further evaluated at a future workshop or City Council
• meeting. However, generally speaking, most of these changes either
incorporate previous City Council action, action by the Minnesota
Legislature or an intent by the City Council to incorporate some
changes to the City Code. A copy of those City Code revisions
are enclosed on pages A0 through_ for your review.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the City
Code revisions as presented by the City's codifier, Mr. Roger
Jensen of Municipal Codifiers Inc.

REVISION MEMO - EAGAN
February 13, 1984
TO: Liz Witt, Administrative Staff
FROM: Lorraine E. O'Reilly, Codifier
RE: 1984 City Code Revisions
We herewith hand you ordinances amending Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9,
10, 11 and 13 of the City Code. You will note that we have assigned
numbers to these ordinances beginning with Ordinance No. 6 (which
number had been assigned to a proposed ordinance but never adopted).
Since Ordinance No. 10, 2nd Series was adopted and published, we have
skipped that number and picked up with No. 11.
• The enclosed ordinances, together with the covering memo, should be
reviewed by the City Administrator, the City Attorney, and other City
staff as to their specific areas. If approved as drafted, the
ordinances should then be submitted to the Council. After the
ordinances have been adopted and published, please forward published
copies to our office so that we are aware of any changes which have
been made in the City's review. The revision pages will then' be
prepared by our office for insertion in the Code.
CHAPTER 1
Section 1.02, Subd. 13, has been amended to increase the penalty for a
misdemeanor from $500.00 to $700.00 in accordance with the statute.
CHAPTER 7
•Ordinance No. 10, 2nd Series, will be incorporated into the Code in
preparing the revision pages.
CHAPTER 3
Subdivision 1 of Sec. 3.05 has been amended as requested, but the
requirement for "written" permission has been retained in Subd. 7,
Subparagrah B, as requested. No change has been made in Sec. 3.20,
Subd. 1, as to shutting off water service due to delinquency since
this is covered in the general provisions of Sec. 3.05, but Subdivi-
sions 4, 9 and 10 are amended to reflect requested changes by the City
as to additional water valve requirements, providing for a City policy
as to unmetered service, and that all water meters shall be purchased
from'the City.
CHAPTER 4
Section 4.01 has been amended to adopt the latest edition of the
Uniform Building Code and optional appendices. Section 4.10 has been
revised in its entirety to comply with the 1983 statute and also to
provide for a hearing and an owner's permit, as well as the permit to
use the streets, as requested. This amendment should be specifically
reviewed by the Building Inspector for any comments he may have.
Subdivision 3, Subparagraph C of Sec. 4.20 has been amended to also
restrict signs within specified distances from railroad rights-of-way.
Ordinance No. 3, 2nd Series, which also amends Sec. 4.20, will be
incorporated in preparing the revision pages. A new Sec. 4.60 is
provided for which allows construction headquarters, temporary
structures and storage areas until 858 of the units in the plat have
been developed.
CHAPTER 5
Definition of club and fraternal club have been amended in accordance
with the 1983 statute which changed the required term of existence
from ten years to three. While Ordinance No. 5 amended Sec. 5.13 to
change the effective date, this Section was further reviewed at the
conference. Subdivision 2 presently exempts only temporary beer
licensees from the requirements of this Section. Due to legislative
amendments to this statute in 1983, the establishment of exemptions by
other beer as well as on -sale wine licensees can be proven by
affidavit, and therefore ease the burden of the City to require proof •
of eligibility for such exemption. We are therefore inserting the
exemption to include on -sale beer licensees with sales of less than
$10,000, off -sale beer licensees with sales of less than $20,000, and
on -sale wine licensees with sales of less than $10,000. we specifi-
cally call your attention to these added exemptions since it was felt
at the conference that this should be a Council decision.
While Sec. 5.34 was amended by Ordinance No. 5, it has been revised to
delete references to "non -intoxicating malt liquor", since "beer" is
so defined in Section 5.01. Subdivision 1 of Sec. 5.52 has been
amended to remove the alternative of liability insurance (mandatory
requirement in Sec. 5.13), and adds Subd. 14 to allow an off -sale
licensee to provide free samples in accordance with Chapter 259 of the
1983 Laws. The on -sale wine license fee has been changed to $200.00
for an annual license and $100.00 for a Sunday license. The prohibi-
tion in Sec. 5.80 as to consumption and display has been repealed and.
new Sec. 5.81 inserted which provides for an annual consumption and
display license. The fee to be paid to the City is $300.00. In'
addition, the applicant is required to pay a fee of $100.00 to the
State of Minnesota. Section 5.14 is also a new Section which we
strongly recommend be added to the general provisions at the beginning
of this Chapter. You will note that it requires thirty days notice to
the City prior to cancellation. It is our feeling that the ten day
notice period is insufficient since it does not allow ample time to
give notice and hold a hearing as to action to be taken on the
license.
CHAPTER 6
The definiton of a kennel has been amended to provide for "four or
more dogs or cats" rather than three. Ordinance No. 4 amending Sec.
6.42 as to construction, alteration or repair of buildings will be
incorporated in preparing the revision pages.
-2- 41
CHAPTER 8
Adoption of MSA Chapter 169 has been updated to amend through Laws
1983.
CHAPTER 9
Section 9.16 has been amended to update in accordance with Chapter 24
of the 1983 Laws which prohibits obstructing access to a handicapped
parking space, requires visible sign -posting and non-movable signs,
and authorizes tagging on private and public property.
CHAPTER 10
Ordinance No. 2 prohibiting trapping will be inserted in preparing the
revision pages. Dangerous weapons or articles, due date of dog and
cat licenses and curfew have been amended in Sections 10.10, 10.11 and
10.30. The requested ordinance relating to building security and fire
alarm systems has been inserted as Sec. 10.43 with some revision to
• follow the format of the City Code.
CHAPTER 11
The definition of Planned Development from proposed Ordinance No. 7
has been inserted in Sec. 11.03, as well as the definition.of setback.
Subdivision 26 of Sec. 11.10 has been amended to correct- confusing
language and the references to the Industrial Districts have been
changed in Sec. 11.20, as requested. Day care special permits have
been repealed in the Agricultural and Residential Districts as
provided in proposed Ordinance No. 6, and on -sale wine and 3.2 beer as
a conditional use in the I-1 Industrial District inserted. The typo
error on Page 397 will be corrected in typing the revision pages.
CHAPTER 13
•The Council waiver has been amended in Sec. 13.02, Subd. 2, in
accordance with proposed Ordinance No. 13. Amendments to Sections
13.10 and 13.30 have been inserted as requested.
CHAPTER 25
Ordinances numbered 101, 102 and 103 will be inserted in preparing the
revision pages, as will Ordinance No. 1, 2nd Series, which adopted the
codification.

SUBJECT: VARIANCE
APPLICANT: GEORGE L. S MIRIAM M NALL
LOCATION: SA OF THE NA OF SECTION 22
EXISTING ZONING: R-1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 24, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 19, 1984
REPORTED BY: JUDY HEALD
• APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been received for the keep-
ing of horses on a 4.50 -acre parcel of land zoned R-1 (Residential
Single District) located at 3960 Pilot Knob Road (Parcel No. 10-02200-
040-27).
CITY CODE REQUIREMENT
Section 10.12, Subdivision 2, Keeping, states in part, "It is unlaw-
ful for any person to keep or harbor any animal, not in transit, ex-
cept (1) farm animals kept in that portion of the City zoned Agricul-
tural.and containing no less than five acres."
A horse is defined as a "Farm Animal"
Therefore, the applicant needs a variance for the 4.50 acres of land
as well as the R-1 zoning.
• It should be noted, however, the City Code does not limit the number
of horses per parcel or the distance the horses will be kept from the
property line. Since staff has been receiving other inquiries about
the number of horses allowed per acre, perhaps the Advisory Planning
Commission would want to limit the number per acre or per application.
The Planning Commission may also want to look at the distance the
horses will be pastured or stabled from the property line.
COMMENTS
The applicants are presently owners of the property but are requesting
the variance for the occupants of the site. The applicants have stat-
ed there will be 3 horses housed on the site which will be cared for
by the occupants. ,
As can be seen on the applicant's site plan, the proposed fenced -in
area for the keeping of the horses will be on the north side of the
property which will be adjacent another large, unplatted parcel, and
to the west, County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road). The block'marked "SHED"

If approved, the variance shall be subject to the following condi-
tions:
1) There shall be no more than 3 horses stabled on the site.
2) No other farm animals as defined in Section 10.12 shall be
allowed.
3) No commercial or home occupation shall be permitted in con-
nection with the keeping of the horses.
4) Fencing shall be subject to the requirements of the City •
Code.
5) All other applicable ordinances shall be complied with.

for variance under the 5 acre minimum for agricultural purposes. Noting the

there was no showing of any practical difficulties or hardships according to

• APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting
a conditional use permit for outside storage located in part of the
SW; of the SA of the NEk of Section 24, 3955 Dodd Road.
COMMENTS
In reviewing this particular application, it appears that Mr. Kieffer
presently owns a minimum of 5 acres, and there is presently a farm-
stead with a barn and new pole building constructed on this property.
City staff issued a permit in late 1983 for a pole barn as it relates
to agricultural purposes. It is also staff's understanding that Mr.
Kieffer is a collector of antique cars and has a rental car business
in which he needs a place to store some of the vehicles he presently
owns himself or with his business. Staff understands that most of
the vehicles are presently stored inside, however, there are some ve-
hicles which would be needed to be stored outside on occasion.
• Staff has reviewed the property and the area proposed for storage is
not that noticeable from Dodd Road, if the storage could be placed
in a location which would be least noticeable from Dodd Road.
Since the application was submitted, staff has notified the property
owners within 350 feet. We have had one inquiry from Mr. Howard Fox
requesting what the notice was about and is the business a legitimate
business or is some type of illegal operation being proposed. Staff
informed him that this was the normal process to notify the people
within a distance of 350 feet to inform them as to what is being pro-
posed on this particular property. The only concern Mr. Fox had was
he wanted to make sure that Mr. Kieffer was performing a legitimate
business with the storage of the vehicles.
In review of this particular conditional use, it would appear that
if this conditional use is approved, it should be subject to the fol-
lowing conditions:

1) All vehicles stored on the property shall either have a collect-

2) The Planning Commission may want to discuss with Mr. Kieffer
how many cars should be the maximum stored on this property
that would work for Mr. Kieffer and have some control by the
Advisory Planning Commission.

DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 18, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
• APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting
preliminary plat, Sunset 4th Addition, consisting of approximately
15.16 acres and would contain 32 single family lots in part of the
NW4 of the NW4 of Section 25 south of County Road 30 (Diffley Road),
west of Saddlehorn Addition and north of Hackmore Drive.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the parcel is zoned PD (Planned Development District) in
the Lexington South Planned Development. The proposed land use de-
signated for this parcel is R -II (Mixed Residential) with a density
of 3-6 dwelling units per acre. The Comprehensive Guide Plan desig-
nates this parcel as R -I and R -II with the northeasterly portion being
R -I (Single Family Residential) with a density of 0-3 dwelling units
per acre; the westerly portion of the plat is designated is R -II
(Mixed Residential) with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre.
• The overall plat density contains 2.2 dwelling units per acre, thus
conforming with the R -I proposed land use of the Comprehensive Guide
Plan.
COMMENTS
As stated above, the proposed development will contain 15.16 acres
and would contain 32 single family lots. Each of the proposed single
family lots would meet all of the R-1 zoning requirements which is
85' lot width and 12,000 square feet. The net density of this de-
velopment proposal is 2.2 dwelling units per acre which is a low den-
sity for single family development.
The proposed plat abuts Sunset 1st Addition on the most easterly por-
tion of the plat. The access to Sunset 4th Addition would be through
Sunset 1st Addition where Richard Lane will tie into Yorktown Place
and provide access from the east. Access from the west, Yorktown
Place, will be stubbed from Northview Meadows to this proposed devel-
opment. There will be two access points to this plat for good traffic

movement. The applicant is proposing a looped street, Sunset Drive,
which would provide access to all of the single family lots south of
Yorktown Place.
In review of the surrounding land use, there appears to be three
single family residences abutting this plat on the south. Two of the
residences contain approximately 5 acres and would have access from a
private street at the present time, which, in the future, may be the
extension of Hackmore Drive. Presently, it is not proposed to develop
Hackmore Drive or upgrade Hackmore Drive with this preliminary plat be-
cause the lots do have access from other streets which will be construct-
ed to City standards.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions: •
1) All lots shall meet the minimum R-1 zoning criteria which is
85 -foot lot width and 12,000 square feet.
2) The applicant shall dedicate all easements as requested by
City staff.
3) All other City ordinances shall be met.

following comments regarding this proposed development for consider-
ation by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE/TOPOGRAPHY
This proposed development is located directly east of Northview Mea-
dows Addition and south of County Road 30. The existing topography
consists of rolling hills with the south half of this portion drain-
ing to the south and the north half of this portion draining to the
east. The southerly portion of this proposed development slopes
rather steeply to the south with the slopes approaching 188. Slopes
in the northerly portion of this proposed development range from 28
to 15%. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship of this proposed de-
velopment being located partially within the J and L major drainage
districts as defined by the Master Storm Sewer Plan.
The proposed grading will result in a low spot being in the vicinity
of Lot 9, Block 2 with all the drainage north of the proposed street
being directed towards it. From here, it is directed to the east via
storm sewer through the Sunset lst Addition and then to the north to
a holding area just south of Pond JP -27.
UTILITIES
n
Existing utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist with- •
in the proximity of this proposed development to provide service to
it.
Watermain for this proposed development is proposed to be looped
through this development from an existing 6" watermain within York-
town Place to the watermain constructed within the Sunset 1st Addi-
tion. Sanitary sewer for this proposed development is proposed to
be serviced by extending the sanitary sewer proposed to be construct-
ed within the Sunset 1st Addition. This sewer and water should also
be stubbed to the east boundary of the Sunset 1st Addition to facil-
itate future utility extensions to the property to the east.
If utilities are to be installed under private contract, then the
plans and specifications shall be prepared by a registered engineer
and submitted to the City for approval.
STREETS
Access to this proposed development consists of a public street named
Yorktown Place located within the Northview Meadows Addition and abuts
91

the west boundary of this proposed development.
It is proposed to extend Yorktown Place to the east and provide in—
ternal access by way of a public looped street. The public looped
street will provide for excellent traffic flow, however, staff would
recommend that Yorktown Place be extended to the east boundary of
Sunset lst Addition. This would provide a connection with the pro-
posed north -south street within the Sunset 1st Addition and greatly
improve the traffic circulation.
The developer proposes to construct the internal street under pri-
vate contract and petition for the City to install the curb and gut-
ter.and bituminous paving for Yorktown Place. Staff has no problem
with this as long as it is made a condition of the final plat for
• the developer to provide the gravel base for Yorktown Place.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
The developer is proposing a 60' right-of-way for Yorktown Place and
a 50' right-of-way for the internal street, Sunset Drive, which staff
concurs with. However, staff strongly recommends extending the right-
of-way for Yorktown Place from the east boundary of this preliminary
plat as proposed to the east boundary of Sunset 1st Addition for rea-
sons previously mentioned. Also, a minimum 25' half right-of-way
shall be dedicated for Hackmore Drive along the southerly border of
this proposed development.
A 10' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to all publicly
dedicated right-of-way along with a 5' drainage and utility easement
being dedicated adjacent to all exterior lot lines with a 10' drain-
age and utility easement being dedicated over all interior lot lines.
In addition, the necessary storm sewer easements required by the pro-
posed alignment across Lot 11, Block 2 of this proposed Addition and
Lot 4, Block 1 of the Sunset 1st Addition will be required to be dedi-
cated and/or obtained.
ASSESSMENTS
In reviewing the assessments levied over this proposed development
which consists of Parcel 010-27 and 021-27 of the NWS of Section 25,
it was found that all trunk related assessments have been levied.
Subsequently, all future costs for public improvements shall be the
sole responsibility of this proposed development.
MISCELLANEOUS
As proposed, this development will pose a problem in the.future re-
garding the construction of streets and utilities within Hackmore
Drive since Lots 6-10, Block 1 will have double frontages. Subse-
quently, it will be difficult to assess any benefit resulting from
utility and street improvements within Hackmore Drive to these lots,
thereby jeopardizing the financing of any such projects. Therefore,
9D'_
ENGINEERING REPORT
SUNSET 4TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT

staff would recommend that Lots 6-10, Block 1 be subdivided each into
two lots with the additional lot being labeled an outlot. This would
provide the owner of a lot ownership and control over the outlot
should it elect to be included with this purchase and also allow the
City to assess the benefits resulting from the improvements of Hack -
more Drive.
An alternate to this would be for the developer to provide an escrow
account for the costs of improving Hackmore Drive which may be drawn
against upon the improvement of Hackmore Drive. Finally, a last al-
ternative is to leave the plat as proposed thereby encumbering the
City's trunk funds for future improvements within Hackmore Drive.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Ad-
visory Planning Commission at their meeting of January 24, 1984.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard M. Hefti, P.E.

Swenson and Jim Curry appeared for the applicant. Mr. Swenson explained the
slope features and heavy tree cover on the south and stated there is little
chance of the southerly portion of the lots being developed because of the
slope. There are smaller lots to the north and larger residential lots to the
south and it was suggested that the lot sizes make a reasonable transition.
He stated that neighborhood meetings have been held and no objections have
been received, in fact, neighbors generally approved the project. The owner
of the property to the east appeared and supported the proposal as well as
other property owners who were in support of the project. There was discussion
concerning the proposal of the engineering staff to provide that the southerly
lots be divided, including outlots on the south side of each lot to allow
future development, also assessments for the possible extension of Hackmore
Drive in the future. Member Krob stated that the Planning Commission and •
Council must listen to the staff recommendations and not only look at the
immediate development but the long-term city responsibility, but also was
aware of the transition from smaller to larger lots to the south. Mr. Sauter,
an owner to the south, was present and stated that he may need access to
Hackmore Drive extended if his land is subdivided. Wilkins moved, McCrea
seconded the motion to recommend approval of the application subject to the
following conditions:
1. All lots shall meet the minimum R-1 zoning criteria which is 85 -foot
lot width and 12,000 square feet.
2. The applicant shall dedicate all easements as requested by City
staff.
3. All other City ordinances shall be met.
4. A detailed grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted for •
staff review.
5. If utilities are to be installed privately, then the plans and
specifications shall be prepared by a registered engineer and submitted to the
City for approval.
6. Right-of-way for Yorktown Place shall be extended to the east boun-
dary line of the Sunset 1st Addition.
7. This development shall be responsible for placing the gravel base
for Yorktown Place.
8. A minimum 25 foot half'right-of-way shall be dedicated for Hackmore
Drive.

lots located vn the west side of Dodd Road, immediately nort of Saddlehorn
Addition was ne heard. Dale Runkle detailed the applica on and the City
Public Works Depar nit recommended that an overall plan or the land to the
west be submitted to ovide for access to that parcel, ich otherwise could
be cut off except Dodd R d to the north and west. Th a were no objections
to the application and the eveloper indicated that a would be willing to
dedicate 25 feet along the rth line for street ccess purposes, but re-
quested that no street assessme s be levied on t property for that street.
The developer also asked, becau of time co traints, that the Planning
Commission recommend approval sub to the d ermination of the location of

MEMO TO: THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1984
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT - SUNSET 4TH ADDITION
During the staff review of this proposed subdivision, the Engineer-
ing Division recommended (R13) that Lots 6-10 of Block 1 be divided
into outlots fronting onto Hackmore Drive to eliminate the proposed
double frontage of these lots. This recommendation was omitted
from the approval granted by the Planning Commission with no sug-
gested alternative to future problems associated with financing
the upgrading of Hackmore Drive.
The attached map shows the location of the proposed Sunset 4th
• Addition to the dedicated right-of-way of Hackmore Drive. If the
Sunset 4th Addition does not wish to have lots fronting on to Hack -
more' Drive and subsequently retain the larger -sized lots, then
I would strongly recommend that the Council make it a condition
of this plat approval to pay a residential equivalent assessment
to the City which could be applied to any future costs associated
with the installation of streets and utilities when Hackmore Drive
is upgraded and connected to the recently completed street within
the Northview Meadows subdivision.
If this financial obligation is not a requirement of the final
plat, it will become the City's financial responsibility to pay
for one-half of the costs associated with the upgrading of streets
and utilities within Hackmore Drive when it occurs in the future.
This is due to the fact that we will be limited in the amount of
• the costs that can be assessed on the property on the south side
to the benefit received from those improvements. Therefore, I
strongly recommend that the Council require this future obligation
of the subdivision to be paid now to cover the City's future finan-
cial responsibilities.
As an alternative, these lots could be split with adequate frontage
and :square footage taking direct access from future streets and
utilities from Hackmore Drive. However, if this alternative is
approved, it would require the upgrading of Hackmore Drive at the
present time to provide these newly -created lots with standard
streets and utilities..
I would like to discuss the concerns of the Public Works Department
with the City Council in relationship to the elimination of the
recommendation as approved by the Planning Commission in hopes
that a satisfactory alternative can be agreed upon.
Respectfully submitted,
a

MNDOT COST PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #61824 (I-494)
B. Approve MnDot Cost Participation Agreement #61824 (I -494) -
As discussed under the public hearing for Project 349, the progres-
sion of I-494 to the east with its interchange with T.H. 149 results
in a relocation and upgrading of east and west Blue Gentian Road
to City standards. Due to the fact that these local streets require
cost participation from the City to accomplish this upgrading to
City standards, it is necessary for the City to enter into a cost
participation agreement with MnDot. The City's obligations under
this MnDot agreement have been reviewed in detail by the Public
Works Director and consulting engineer and found them to be in
accordance with standard policies for joint construction and cost
participation. The City's obligations associated with this cost •
participation agreement have been taken into consideration and
addressed as a part of the feasibility report for Project 349.
Therefore, if the public hearing for Project 349 is closed and
the improvements ordered for installation earlier in the agenda,
it would be in order for the Council to approve this cost participa-
tion agreement providing for the City's financial obligation
associated with those improvements.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To pass/deny a resolution
approving Cost Participation Agreement #61824 authorizing the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute all related agreements and documents
providing for financial obligation of the City associated with
the upgrading of east and west Blue Gentian Roads as a part of
I-494.

MNDOT COST PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #61932 (I -35E
C. Approve MnDot Cost Participation Agreement #61932 (I -35E)
-- As it was discussed under Project 372 during the public hearing
earlier in the agenda, there are several street and utility
improvements associated with the progression of I -35E that become
the City's financial obligation. Subsequently, a cost participation
agreement has been prepared by MnDot delineating the City's
financial responsibilities associated with the upgrading of
these local improvements to City standards.
This agreement has been reviewed in detail by the Public works
Director and consulting engineer and the financial responsibility
delineation has been found to be in accordance with present
• policies for cooperative joint construction and cost participations.
All the improvements delineated in Project 372 presented under
the public hearing earlier on the agenda have been taken into
consideration in this agreement as it pertains to the City's
responsibilities.
If the public hearing for Project 372 is closed and the project
approved as presented, it would be in order for the Council
to approve this cost participation agreement so that this work
can be performed cooperatively under a MnDot contract.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To pass/deny a resolution
approving MnDot Cost Participation Agreement #61932 and authorizing
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents and
agreements.

D. Approve Dakota County Cost Participation Agreement (MnDot
Agreement #61933 - Diffley Road and Pilot Knob Road -- As a
part of the I -35E progression through the City of Eagan, certain
improvements will be performed cooperatively under a MnDot contract
for the upgrading of County 30 (Diffley Road) and County Road
31 (Pilot Knob Road). MnDot Agreement #61933 is a cost participa-
tion agreement between the State and the County due to the juris-
dictional authority of the county roads being approved under
a state contract. However, present City policy requires that
any improvements to county roads be the joint responsibility
of the County and the benefitted municipality on a 55/45 split
of costs for all road improvements and related appyrtenances.
Therefore, the County has prepared a cost participation agreement
between the County and the City delineating the City's share
of the costs associated with the County's responsibility as
a part of MnDot's cost participation agreement.

All proposed improvements associated with this cost participation
agreement with the County have been taken into consideration
and included in the feasibility report for Project 372 presented
earlier on the agenda under public hearings. The Public works
Director and consulting engineer have reviewed this cost participa-
tion agreement in detail and found it to be in conformance with
present policies of delineation of financial obligations between
jurisdictional agencies for related improvements.
Therefore, if the public hearing is closed and Project 372 ap-
proved earlier on the agenda under the public hearing items,
it would be appropriate for the Council to approve this cost
participation agreement between the City and the County.

CONTRACT 84-1/LONE OAK ROAD-T.H. 55 WATERMAIN
E. Contract 84-1, Receive Bids/Award Contract (Lone Oak Road/T.H.
55 - Watermain) -- On November 15, 1983, the public hearing was
held and a project approved which consisted of three parts:
Part 1: Construction of trunk watermain along the west side
of T.H. 55/149 through the intersection of Lone Oak
Road and westerly extension within Lone Oak Road
from this intersection due to pending intersection
improvements by MnDot during 1984. The segment of
trunk watermain from Lone Oak Road southerly to the
extension of Apollo Drive was bid at a 24" -diameter
• with an alternate bid requested for a 20" -diameter
trunk watermain for this segment. The City's consult-
ing engineer and Public Works Director will be evalu-
ating the cost benefit of reducing this watermain
size and will have the information available to the
Council for consideration of the alternate bid at
the meeting on February 21.
Part 2: This consisted of relocation of hydrants and lowering/
insulating the existing watermain and relocating
fire hydrants along the west side of T.H. 149 by
General Coatings Inc. in anticipation of the future
frontage road to be constructed by MnDot during 1984.
Part 3:
This involves the westerly extension of trunk water -
main facilities from Pilot Knob Road, at its inter-
section with Duckwood Drive, in anticipation of the
future upgrading by MnDot during 1984. This work
was not originally contained in the feasibility report
as it was anticipated to be performed under a MnDot
contract. Regardless, this work will be the full
responsibility of the trunk watermain with no related
assessments. As such, it was not necessary to have
it included in the original feasibility report.
However, because MnDot could not incorporate it in
their construction plans in a timely fashion, it
was determined to be in the City's best interest
to add this trunk related work under this contract
for bidding purposes.
Enclosed on
page10 is a tabulation of the bids received at the
official bid
opening held on February 16. Due to the necessity
of this project and the favorable bids received, the staff is recom-
mending that
the Council receive the bids and award the contract

CONTRACT 84-3/ALMQUIST LAKE LIFT STATION
F. Contract 84-3, Approve Plans/Authorize Advertisement for
Bids (Almquist Lake Lift Station) -- On January 17 a public
hearing was held for Project 393 providing for the installation
of a trunk storm sewer outlet for Almquist Lake. The public
hearing was closed and the project subsequently approved with
authorization being given for the preparation of detailed plans
and specifications. These plans have now been completed and
are being presented to the Council for their review, approval
and authorization to advertise for a bid opening. The consulting
engineer and Public Works Director will be available to discuss
the details of these plans with the Council at the meeting on
• February 21.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/deny the plans
and specifications for Contract 84-3 (Almquist Lake Lift Station)
and, if approved, authorize the advertisement for a bid opening
to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 15, 1984.
CONTRACT 82-7/CINNAMON RIDGE 3RD ADDITION
G. Contract 82-7, Final Payment/Acceptance - Cinnamon Ridge
3rd Addition (Streets 8 Utilities) -- We have received a request
for final payment for Contract 82-7 from our consulting engineering
firm along with a certification of compliance with the approved
plans and specifications which provided for the installation
of streets and utilities to service the Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition.
Taking into consideration the two change orders that modified
the original contract amount, the final construction costs came
• in 2.58 below the original contract amount due to minor miscel-
laneous quantity underruns. All cost associated with this project
will be assessed against the development.
All final inspections have been witnessed and verified by represen-
tatives of the Public Works Department and it is now being recom-
mended that this project be formally accepted for perpetual
maintenance and that final payment be authorized to contractor.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the seventh
and final payment of $25,707.03 to Austin P. Keller Construction
Company for Contract 82-7 and accept the project for perpetual
maintenance.

1984 SEWER 8 WATER UTILITY USER RATES
H. Consideration of Sewer 8 Water Utility User Rates for 1984
As is customary on an annual basis, the Public Works Director had
the consulting engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik
and Associates, Inc. perform a study pertaining to sewer and water
utility user rates in relationship to expenses and required revenue
to maintain and provide sewer and water service for the City.
A review of the approved 1984 utility budget, combined with antici-
pated sales during 1984, resulted in this report conclusion and
recommendation that the sewer and water user rates not be increased
for 1984. A copy of this report is being forwarded to the Council
under separate cover for their review, comment and reference during
consideration of this item.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the 1984 report
on sewer and water utility user rate study and approve/deny the
recommendation for no increase in rates during 1984.
TRUNK -RELATED ASSESSMENT RATES - 1984
I. Consideration of Trunk -Related Assessment Rates for 1984 --
In the past, the Public Work Director has had the consulting engi-
neering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, Inc.,
review the construction costs associated with completing our trunk
systems (sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer, and major streets)
and recommend appropriate rates to maintain the solvency of these
funds through the levying of trunk -related assessments (area,
lateral benefit, road user connection fees, street equivalent
assessments, etc.). In the past, this information was included
as an appendix to the annual sewer and water utility rate study.
However, the Director of Public Works felt that this information
should be expanded and addressed through a separate report for
separate action by the Council.
Therefore, forward to the Council under separate cover is a copy
of this report for their review, comments and reference during
consideration of this item on February 21. The results of this
report indicate that the trunk -related assessments should be
increased by an average of 5.08. It also established definitive
rates for a zoned -equivalent rate (residential, multiple, com-
mercial/industrial) to be used during the upgrading of major
streets.
The Public Works Director and consultant engineer will be available
to discuss this report in detail with the Council as they desire
on February 21.

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1984
SUBJECT: INFORMATIVE
COMMUNITY ROOM
The City has prepared a rather lengthy procedure for the use of
the Community Room located at the Fire Administration Building.
Scheduling the Community Room will be a function of Parks and
Recreation and if the City Council is interested in reviewing the
policy for use of the Community Room, please request and a copy
will be distributed for review. It is anticipated that the Com-
munity Room will be available within a month.
MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION UPDATE
Enclosed is a letter from Larkin, Hoffman, Daly and Lindgren law
firm that provides a summary of the representation agreement they
have entered into with the 14 cities. This letter provides a brief
analysis of how the law firm will work with the 14 cities and I
thought would be of interest to the City Council. The City Admin-
istrator is attending an all -day meeting on Friday, February 17,
along with City Administrators from the other 13 cities to work
on position papers with the lobbyist. The next regular meeting
of the joint commission is at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 23,
in the City of Roseville. Mayor Blomquist and the City Admin-
istrator, as the City's two delegates, will be attending. A copy
of the letter is found on pages 11 through 120 .
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT @196/EAGAN HIGH SCHOOL ISSUE
The City Administrator and Mayor Blomquist attended a school board
meeting that was held on Monday, February 13, 1984. Needless to
say, the meeting lasted from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. with Eagan
residents attempting to endure a long wait from 7:30 until 10:30
when the school facilities item was considered. Mayor Blomquist
and the City Administrator will discuss in more detail what trans-
pired at the school board meeting in a future workshop session.
Enclosed is a copy of a letter and
to the school board the night of
will more than likely be suggesting

before and after equipment is installed at the Sperry Semi -
Conductor facility. The City Attorney's office has been notified
of the action that was taken at the last City Council meeting con-
cerning legal direction if Sperry does not satisfy the noise
problems that are being alleged by the Timberline Addition. A
copy of a letter to Mr. Gustin and Mr. Nikolai from the City Admin-
istrator is enclosed on page�a Also enclosed are copies of
letters from Mr. Nikolai to David Kelso of MPCA and the Senior
Vice -President of the Sperry Semi -Conductor operations, Mr. David
Turcotte. These letters are enclosed on pages 12 % through 13 O
Mr. Giblin and Mr. Nikolai have, since the last City Council
meeting, filed criminal complaints with the Police Department asking
that the noise problem be prosecuted as a public nuisance. The
complaint is being reviewed by the City Attorney.
RACE TRACK •
Enclosed on page S 1) is a copy of a letter received from the City
of Mendota Heights and also an pagej3 Z is a copy of a letter
received from the City of Sunfish La ereggarding their positions
on the proposed horse racing facility site in the City of Eagan.
This week, a statement was made by Ray Glumack on WCCO that would
appear to the average listener that MAC had problems with the horse
racing facility being located under the preferential runway in
the City of Eagan. The statement about the race track came to
the attention of the City's applicant, Minnesota Jockey Club, Inc.,
and in an effort to clarify Mr. Glumack's statement a meeting was
held on Wednesday, February 15 in Mr. Glumack's office. The City
of Eagan was asked by Mr. Pflaum for representation at the meeting
and the City Administrator contacted City Councilmember Egan who
joined the Administrator at the meeting. To reduce an hour and
a half of dialogue to a few sentences is difficult but the main •
outcome of the discussion was that Mr. Glumack made it extremely
clear that he is not an adversary of the Eagan horse racing site
or any site for that matter and was merely addressing a question
as to how the airport would regard any kind of land use that might
threaten continued alignment designation of the preferential runway.
Mr. Glumack responded by stating that the Metropolitan Airports
Commission would be very concerned about any use that would cause
any jeopardy to the preferential runway. The Minnesota Jockey
Club, Inc. presented a three-page easement that guarantees the
Metropolitan Airports Commission that they will provide permanent
air rights for the preferential runway over their horse racing
facility dismissing any public speculation that noise is a problem
for the horse track. It was made extremely clear by Mr. Glumack
that the MAC is not concerned about noise being a factor for the
horse track; any noise concern for the horse track is a private
matter with the investors. This matter was cleared up and the
easement will be filed with the application. Since the recent
I(S
INFORMATIVE MEMO
February 17, 1984
Page 3
city council meeting held on February 7, 1984, in the City of
Mendota Heights has brought considerable news attention to the
race track located in the City of Eagan, I felt copies of articles
regarding that meeting might be of interest to the City Council.
Enclosed on pages 13 1through 1'� are a cumber of copies of
articles that have appeared in —4ocaal`newpapers. Also enclosed
on pagess�4-J4Sis a copy of a letter from the Inver Grove Heights
Development Corporation informing Mayor Blomquist that their corpor-
ation has endorsed the Eagan site and further that they're request-
ing a similar endorsement from mayors of cities in Dakota County.
WORKSHOP
The City Administrator is suggesting that the City Council have
a workshop session to address a number of miscellaneous items,
one of which should be a meeting with the History Committee. A
• suggested date for that meeting is February 28 if the date is
acceptable to everyone's calendar. A formal agenda would be prepared
for the special workshop/City Council meeting; however, it is anti-
cipated there would be no formal action taken.
PROJECT 349, BLUE GENTIAN ROAD (Streets & Storm Sewer Improvements)
City Financing -- On page 5 of the feasibility report
for Project 349, the revenue sources to finance this project are
delineated in relationship to project cost and revenue receipt
from assessments. You will note that the resulting balance indi-
cates $178,544 will be the responsibility of "City and State" funds.
The report was prepared this way to show that the assessment revenue
as proposed under this project was not sufficient to cover the
cost of the improvements being performed.
• However, through a cost participation agreement with MnDot, the
State will be participating in a portion of these construction
costs. Therefore, enclosed on pages( - is a subsequent summary
of revenue sources that was performed to show the relationship
of the MnDot cost participation in relationship to the project
cost and assessment revenue. As can be seen from this subsequent
summary, due to the significant cost participation on behalf of
MnDot combined with the proposed assessment revenues, this results
in a positive balance of $132,385 to the City's trunk storm sewer
fund and $260,861 to the City's major street fund.
This subsequent information is being forwarded to the Council to
show that the significant negative balance on page 5 of the feasi-
bility report does not imply that the City will be incurring a
financial burden to our trunk funds if this project is approved.
It also provides additional information to the Council in considera-
tion of any special assessment consideration requests that have
been received.

Project 372, I -35E (Utility s Street Improvements) -- Financial
Revenue Review
The feasibility report that was prepared for Project 372 provided
a revenue source breakdown on pages 47 and 48 to show the relation-
ship between the cost of the project for various improvements, the
assessment revenue that would be generated from this project and
the resulting balance that would be the responsibility of "City
& State" funds. This resulting total balance indicated a negative
$846,767 deficit that would have to be financed through these city/
state funds. This information was presented this way to show that
the revenue being generated from assessments was less than the cost
of the overall project.
However, through a cost participation agreement with MnDOT, the •
state and the county will be participating in some of these finan-
cial liabilities. Therefore, enclosed on pages /+0) through-()
is a subsequent summary sheet of revenue sources which shows t -e
balance after taking into consideration the financial participation
of the state and the county. This summary sheet shows the actual
financial obligation of the City's trunk funds which range from
a negative balance of $103,930 to the trunk watermain fund to a
#285,174 positive balance to the major street fund if all assess-
ments are levied as proposed under this project. It was felt that
this information would be beneficial to the Council in helping to
determine the benefit of this project in relationship to the or-
dering of this improvement.
The Public Works Director and Consulting Engineer can discuss this
financial analysis in further detail at the Council meeting if de- •
sired by the Council.

I would like to take this opportunity to set forth a Representation
Agreement as indicated in a letter you received from Jim Erickson
dated February 1, 1984. That letter also contained our initial
retainer invoice in the amount of $7,500.
Larkin, Hoffman, Daly 5 Lindgren, Ltd., is pleased and honored to
undertake representation of the Municipal Legislative Commission (MLC)
as special legislative and administrative counsel through June 30, 1984.
As you know, the firm has recently commenced work on this undertaking
following actions by the Municipal Legislative Commission in late
January and early February selecting the firm as special legislative
and administrative counsel. The firm will undertake to represent
the Municipal Legislative Commission on issues of concern to members
of the Municipal Legislative Commission. It is anticipated that the
firm will work with several different public bodies with jurisdiction
to consider these issues, including the legislature, state government
agencies, the Governor's office, the Metropolitan Council and its
related metropolitan agencies, and the newly -formed Minnesota Tax
Study Commission.
Robert G. Renner, Jr., and I have been assigned as attorneys with
primary responsibility for this matter. We will call upon the
services of other attorneys in the firm who may have expertise or
knowledge useful in successfully resolving a particular issue.
119
L.ARHIN, HOFFMAN. DALY & L.INDGRF,N, LTD.
Mr. James Lacina
February 8, 1984
Page Two
At this time, we anticipate that Robert L. Hoffman, James C. Erickson,
and Forrest D. (Dick) Nowlin will be actively involved. It is quite
likely that other attorneys in the firm will also be involved in this
representation. Ms. Deborah J. Grant, a legal assistant, will work
closely with the attorneys assigned to this file.
The firm will undertake to monitor the activities of state and
metropolitan governmental bodies. The firm will act as the spokesman
for the Municipal Legislative Commission and its members before state
and regional governmental agencies on issues of concern. We will
undertake to have adopted the policies and legislation consistent
with the goals of the Municipal Legislative Commission. The firm •
will provide regular updates, through written reports and meetings,
regarding issues of concern to the Municipal Legislative Commission.
We will coordinate the presentation of information, testimony, and
proposals to various governmental bodies and work closely with members
of the Municipal Legislative Commission to develop the information and
policies to be presented to the governmental bodies. Other services
rendered will include legal analysis and drafting, attendance at
meetings of the legislature and other governmental bodies, conferences
with legislators, members of the metropolitan agencies, staff, and
other appropriate officials. Miscellaneous services will, include
telephone conferences, research, and review of documents and policy
papers.
The Lawyers' Professional Responsibility Board encourages attorneys to
fully explain fee arrangements and the scope of representation in order
to avoid misunderstandings. Therefore, I would like to address the
terms of the representation. The firm is undertaking the representa-
tion of the Municipal Legislative Commission, a new body formed under
a joint powers agreement entered into by 14 suburban municipalities.
In undertaking to represent the Municipal Legislative Commission, the
firm does not undertake representation of any of the municipalities
who are members of the Commission. As you are aware, the firm has
appeared before municipalities on behalf of private clients of the
firm. The firm will continue to appear before municipal bodies and
agencies who are members of the Municipal Legislative Commission on
behalf of private clients. We undertake representation of the
Municipal Legislative Commission with the understanding that continued
appearances before municipalities who are members of the Municipal
Legislative Commission do not present a conflict of interest.
As you also know, the firm is active in representing several other
clients before the Minnesota Legislature, state agencies, and
metropolitan agencies. Should a situation arise where our repre-
sentation of another client conflicts with our representation of the
119
LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY Lac LINDGREN, LTD.
Mr. James Lacina
February 8, 1984
Page Three
Municipal Legislative Commission, we will contact you immediately.
We will then meet with you and the other concerned client to explain
the nature of the conflict. Should it be impossible to resolve the
conflict to the satisfaction of all parties, we may be required
under the Code of Professional Responsibility to withdraw from
representation on the conflicting issue. However, we would be
able to continue to undertake representation of the Municipal
Legislative Commission and other clients on all other issues.
The fee for the representation will be a minimum -of $45,000, plus
osts and expenses, and a maximum of $60,000, plus costs and
xpenses. The Municipal Legislative Commission will receive an
invoice for $7,500 for each of the months of January, February,
March, April, May, and June. Costs and expenses, not to exceed
$500 per month without prior approval, will also be billed on the
invoices. All personnel providing services on this matter will
record their time which will be billed at a rate of $75 per hour.
In July, 1984, the Municipal Legislative Commission will receive a
final billing for expenses and total services rendered in excess of
the $45,000 total of the regular monthly retainers. The firm
guarantees that the additional fees billed in July of 1,984 will not
exceed $15,000, regardless of the total services the firm is called
upon to render through June 30, 1984. I have enclosed for your
information a copy of the firm's policy regarding payment of fees.
We are all very excited and honored to have been chosen by the
Municipal Legislative Commission for this important task. We all
thieving
forward to working closely with members of the commission and
thieving our objectives and goals. Thank you once again for the
confidence you have shown in the firm.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Forschler, for

Re: Resolution Requesting Information from Independent School
District 4196
Dear Beverly:
As mayor of the fastest growing city in -the State of Minnesota, I am
often contacted by residents of our community who reside in
Independent School District #196 concerning when construction will
commence for the Eagan High School. Without a doubt, most residents
in our community who reside in ISD #196 believe a high school will
be constructed in the near future on property which was purchased
directly east of Northview Elementary School.
The City of Eagan is regarded within the Twin Cities metropolitan
area as the most viable community for growth and development in the
next several years. Our planning commission and city council
meetings are quite lengthy every month due to the number of new*
residential plats that are creating lots for further housing unit
sites within the City. Most all of that growth will occur in the
thousands of acres undeveloped withing ISD #196.
Many residents who have asked about the time schedule for the com-
pletion of a high school in Eagan have also expressed their satis-
faction in the previous attitude of the school board to decentralize
high schools within the district by spreading the enrollment to
three (3) high schools rather than concentrating a great number of
students in one or two high schools. It has been expressed to me
that the ability for students at the high school level to achieve in
their classwork and to participate in extracurricular activities is
more obtainable if the high school is designed for no greater than
2,000 students.

THE LONE OAK TREE... THE SYMBOL Of STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
City of Eagan/Independent School District #196
February 13, -1984
Page Two
I certainly feel the school district as well as all cities within
ISD #196 must work together to achieve the best long range educa-
tional objectives for our present and future students. It is my
intention to work with the mayors and community leaders of the other
cities and do everything I can to support the continuation of this
philosophy in years to come. Therefore, I offer a resolution for
your consideration that my citycouncil is aware of but has not had
an opportunity to formally adopt. This resolution is objective and
asks for the answers to basic questions based on facts from the
school administration and our own city administration for future
• review by the school board.
We must not let our emotions, whether they are related to bigger and
better sports objectives, individual school recognition or whatever
the case, overshadow the educational philosophy of the school
district. Therefore, I submit this resolution and the time of our
staff and my personal- effort with other communities to work- on the
answers to these basic questions in a, methodical and objective
fashion with the hopes that a referendum can be scheduled for the
fall of 1984 with the answers to these questions presented to
residents within our school district before the referendum.
Sincerely,
Bea-Blomqui-st

RE: Sperry Semiconductor Noise Impact On the Timberline Residen-
tial NeighborhooU
Dear John and Tom:
In official action that was taken by the Eagan City Council
at a regular meeting held on Tuesday, February 7, 1984, the
City Attorney was directed to review a future course of action
with the Sperry Corporation if the level of noise emissions
are not lowered -to an acceptable noise standard for the Timberline
neighborhood by April 1, 1984. The position of the City Attorney
regarding the directive to the City Council will be considered
at the April 3, 1984, City Council meeting if the noise emission
level is not satisfactorily resolved by that date.
Later in the City Council meeting I was directed by the City
Council to obtain a noise meter from a State agency and direct •
a member of the City staff to establish several bench marks
between the Sperry and Timberline properties and conduct noise
readings. These noise readings will be conducted and recorded
at different times, including both daytime and nighttime hours,
and under a variety of atmospheric conditions. This information
will be available for City Council and public inspection at
the April 3, 1984, City Council meeting.
Tom, I am returning the original affidavit and exhibits to the
affidavit as you requested.
On behalf of the City Council, we are hopeful that measures
Sperry is taking will resolve the noise emission problems that
have been causing grief to the Timberline neighborhood. Any
questions you might have about the action course of the City
are welcome at any time.
Sincerely, ( •as

Re: Sperry Semiconductor Operations Noise Pollution
Dear Mr. Kelso:

• As I explained to you by phone yesterday, Sperry's new factory in Eagan is
emitting noise at a high level from its roof -mounted ventilator stacks and
this noise is making sleep difficult in our neighborhood. Sperry insists
that its emissions are within MPCA guidelines whereas, based upon sound
measurements I had taken, its noise emissions are far in excess of the
allowable levels.
I am enclosing a copy of the strip -chart data taken by Sperry's in-house
people back in August 1983. It is the latest data that Sperry has made
available. Note that in taking these measurements, the noise sources
were turned on, one -at -a -time, and even then are only a'shade below the
50 dBA limit provided by your regulations. The test which it took
apparently does not show the combined effect of having all of these noise
sources operational simultaneously.
Today, 1 learned that when Sperry went out for bids on the sound
• abatement equipment, it advised potential bidders that the noise at one
exhaust stack was at 104 dB and that existing 300 meters away was 63-75
dB. We find that hard to reconcile with the information Sperry provided
to City authorities via the enclosed report.
1 believe you have a copy of the Fulton affidavit which reflects the test
results which I undertook to have taken and which shows linear dB
readings in the range between 63 and 76 at a point just outside my
bedroom window. .
Should it later become necessary to bring a lawsuit to abate the public
nuisance whichSperryis creating, we believe it could be helpful to have
the MPCA monitor the noise emissions and provide a report to the City of
Eagan, copies to our homeowner association and to Sperry reflecting your
findings.

Mr. David Kelso

Also, since the City of Eagan has shown a reluctance to enforce its own
ordinances against.a large corporate employer, if your monitoring reveals
violations of the MPCA noise level standards, we would appreciate any
assistance which your agency can provide as far as compelling compliance
is concerned.
1 and my neighbors stand ready to provide whatever information and
assistance may be necessary to conduct the monitoring operations. Sperry
is creating a nightmare situation in or neighborhood and we need help
immediately.

Dear Mr. Turcotte:

COPTPIGNTS
• 1 had hoped by this time to have had the opportunity to meet with you
concerning the noise pollution created by Sperry's Semiconductor Factory.
Bob Falstad, your Law Department attorney, indicated over a week ago
that he would have you call, but apparently he or you felt that this would
be unnecessary.
Since taking over as Vice President and General Manager of the
Semiconductor Operations, I don't know to what extent you have been
briefed on the intolerable situation your factory has created as far as your
neighbors on the north are concerned or the remedial actions supposedly
undertaken in an attempt to cure the problem. Information provided to
me today makes it clear that the Sperry people who have been addressing
this problem have been acting in bad faith.. Specifically, last summer
when the complaints started pouring in, Sperry personnel conducted
certain tests along the north property line and concluded, based upon
those tests, that the noise emissions were within the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency guidelines. Those tests proved to be incomplete and
• inaccurate. Also, as it turns out, Sperry knew that those tests and the
representations being made with respect to them were false or
misleading.
Only after the Eagan City Council passed a resolution' finding Sperry in
violation of the applicable zoning ordinance under which it is operating
did your people initiate any steps to correct the problem. Way last
October, while insisting that it was in compliance with applicable MPCA
regulations, it offered to put sound attenuating equipment on all of the
noise sources on the roof of your building. It later reneged on that
promise as well.
lag
Mr. David Turcotte
February 9, 1984
Page Two
Be that as it may, when it went out to obtain bids on an attenuator to be
placed on the basement ventilating stack, 1 have been informed that it
advised prospective bidders that the noise at the stack was at a level of
104 dB and that the noise level at the property line was 63-65 dB, values
far in excess of the MPCA guidelines and far in excess of the data earlier
provided to Eagan officials.
The Sperry representatives also indicated that a 19 -week lead-time would
be needed to design, procure and install the sound abatement equipment.
That estimate was made back in mid-October at the time that your people
were promising to equip all of the stacks with the attenutors.
Subsequently, the Sperry people decided unilaterally that only one
attenuator would be needed. It did not revise the lead-time downward in •
any fashion, even though the project had been cut way back in scope.
On several occasions over the past months 1 called Mr. Michaud and
inquired whether the sound abatement equipment procurement was on
schedule. He assured me that it was. Then, at the City Council meeting
on February 7, he effectively asked for an additional 6 weeks beyond the
19 weeks originally projected.
1 found out today that the contract for obtaining the attenuator was let on
February 3, 1984, only two days before the City Council meeting. It was
also determined that the cost of the item in question was about $3,000.
The six diverters are estimated to cost an additional $500.00 each. Thus,
the total cost of the fix planned by Sperry is way less than $10,000.
It is almost obscene that a company of your size and stature would subject
the neighboring residents to the noise emissions you have when an
expenditure of such a nominal amount could have resolved the problem. 1 •
think you should require an explanation from the personnel involved as to
why this matter has been allowed to drag on as long as it has and why a
still further six-week extension of time is needed to complete it.
1 venture to say more has been spent by Sperry on meetings about this
problem than on the cost of the noise abatement installation itself.
The mendacity exhibited with respect to the testing and decibel readings
provided by Sperry to City representatives made it necessary for me to
hire a noise expert who undertook to take tests at my home only to verify
what Sperry knew all along, Le, that its noise emissions were well above
those permitted by the MPGA regulations. 1 think it is only fair that
Sperry reimburse me for that outlay.

If Sperry is indeed sincere about wishing to be a "good corporate
neighbor", then it ought to drop the public -be -damned attitude that it has
been exhibiting and take care of its pollution problems.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
During the past month, there has been much discussion in Mendota •
Heights about possible detrimental effects of the proposed Eagan race
track facility on residential areas of our community. In particular,
residents of the Friendly Hills subdivision, located approximately one
mile north of the site, have voiced concern that the race track would lead
to undesireable noise and traffic impacts on their neighborhood. At its
meeting of February 7, 1984, the Council was presented with a petition
signed by 547 persons, expressing their opposition to the racing facility.
In response, the City Council passed a motion to notify you that the
Council, in support of -the majority of its residents living south of TH 110
and east of Lexington Avenue, cannot support the location of a racing facility
in Section 1 of the City of Eagan.
It is planned that a Council/resident informational meeting will be held
in the City of Mendota Heights in early March to review the Environmental •
Impact Statement. Any further Council comments that may emanate from the
review and meeting will be forwarded to you for your timely consideration.

Eagan answers concerns
about racetrack location
On Feb. 6, the Mendota Heights City Council
received a four-page letter from Fagan Administrator
Tom Hedges, giving an "initial response" to concerns
about a proposed horse -racing track in northeast
Eagan" The Mendota Heights council wrote Eagan
Jan. 18 at the request of citizens fearful that a track
would cause increased noise, traffic, crime and diver-
sion of aircraft over Mendota Heights.
Below are excerpts from Hedges' letter.
On diversion of aircraft:
"The City Council has addressed this issue emphat-
ically by a resolution that no request for deviation of
flight path will be permitted by the City of Fagan ...
the developers have agreed with the Metropolitan Air.
Ports Commission (MAC) to grant to MAC a so-called
air easement, which gives to MAC the right to fly air.
craft over the site, together with the right to cause
any noise attendant to the ordinary operation of such
aircraft The applicant has agreed with MAC that this
easement will be executed as a part of its application
to the Minnesota Racing Commission. From the point
of view of our staff, it is hard to conceive of a more
definitive resolution of the matter."
On noise from the track itself:
"The midpoint of the grandstand is located slightly
more than .66 miles due south of the Interstate 494
right-of-way, and separated therefrom by a series of
low-lying hills. (The racetrack is to be built into a
natural bowl between a series of bills.) It is the opin-
ion of our consultants that it is extremely unlikely
that an individual standing on the south border of the
494 right-of-way will be either able to see (at night) or
hear the racetrack ... and that it is inconceivable
there will be a noise impact from the track on resi-
dents living more than a half mile north of the 494
right-of-way."
On increased traffic on Dodd Road (Highway
149) and Delaware Avenue:
"Local roads are expected to experience only minor
increases in traffic. Trunk Highway 149 north of In-
terstate 494 will experience a 5 percent increase in
traffic directly attributable to the racetrack ... Dela-
ware Avenue will have a 7% percent increase in traf-
fic as a result of the racetrack."
On increased crime:
"Che Minnesota Jockey Club will be required to hire
its own security force consisting of fully trained and
certified warrant officers and fire safety person-'
nel ... The Eagan Police and Fire Departments con-:
ducted extensive research on these subjects. Their
opinions, as reported to the Eagan City Council, are
that there does not appear to be an increased demand
for fire service from a racetrack, and there does not
appear to be an increased demand on public safety
Officers, with the possible exception of traffic control,
which will be handled by uniformed, off-duty officers
paid by the racing facility. There appears to be a very
modest amount of peripheral crime, at or below the
level that would be expected in a regional shopping
center.' ..
On the representation of Mendota Heights' inter-
ests in the environmental impact statement done
on the site, expected this month
"Please be assured that the analysis of the impacts
associated with the proposed land use development
(which includes the racetrack) is not at all limited to
the political jurisdiction of Eagan, but rather includes
the entire subregion (including Mendota Heights, Sun-
fish lake and Inver Grove Heights)."

The proposal of a race track at Eagan could be a case of ..much ado

have done the EAW (Environmental Assessment Worksheet) and the
seeping y Club site
development Proposion foral and are woe Laukkaa k ng oneek the EIS (Ennnesota vironmental
Impact Statement).
Svoboda said although Eagan is a strong contender. Blaine and
Shakopee also have already gone through the EAW and other
preparations and are now working on the EIS. And, Woodbury and
Savage are beginning the necessary process.
Svoboda said that although certain aspects will not be addressed in
the EIS, they are looking at housing projections, public services and
the existing zoning in the surrounding communities.
His firm is track which will include reinvolved etailshops, loff ice show opment ofroomsite � and than
'office space.
The track is proposed on 739 acres. Included within the track
development will bea grandstand with initial seatingcapacity for 7,500
Persons and full development seating for 15.000. Grandstand parking
would include 9,100 regular parking spaces with an additional 3,630
spaces to accommodate overflow parking.
Other facilities developed in conjunction with the race track will
include a combination administration/cafeteria building, receiving
barn for incoming horses, water stations, stables, maintenance yard,
exercise area and equipment building.
The track Itself would be one to 1.25 miles in length with 6.5 furlong
chutes situated on the northwest and southeast ends of the oval track.

Anticipated canstructlon costs are $ly million. : -C -- : r - u
If the Eagan site is chosen by the Minnesota Racing Commission as
the one to be developed as a race track n the Twin Cities Metro area,
construction would begin n 1989 with a scheduled completion date of

The racing season would extend frotA June 15 through Sept. 15 with

Proposed site in Eagan:
'Race track plan. spurs
By DORIS KELLEHER
The three areas most affected by
a race track in Eagan would be the
city of Eagan itself, Mendota
Heights, Sunfish lake and Inver
Grove Heights.
Mayor Bill Saed of Inver Grove
Heights, indicated his city council
has continousiy-supported the pro-
posal of a racetrack in Eagan.
"in fact we hoped to see it in the
city of Inver Grove Heights but we
had no appropriate site," Sued said.
He said he can see there will be
many benefits from the track such
as auxiliary businesses springing
up around it which will provide
additional employment.
"it will be a boon to Eagan and
some of it is bound to spill over into
Inver Grove Heights." the mayor
said.
Sunfish lake mayor Duncan
Baird said he and his residents are
..very upset."
"We are planning to have a reso-
lution passed at the next council
meeting opposing the track in
Eagan. It violates all the plans for
northern Dakota County which was
to be a prime residential area. You
don't have this with a race track
WEST- S` PgL\L
ngxt door."
He indicated his city's citizens
are "tired of going to the mat but we
have an impeccable record for
being implacable in resistance."
He said the city was "hurt about
losing the highway suit" but went as
far as they could with it—to the
"Supreme Court".
"We now feel battered with air-
planes, race track and the proposed
highway," Baird said.
He indicated that 62 percent of the
planes go over Sunfish Lake and
although they have tried to operate
through the noise abatement coun-
cil they have had no luck.
"I am not sure what we will do
publicly or privately regarding the
track," Baird said. "We were not
included in the EAW neither was
Mendota Heights."
He said the city has requested
they be included in the EIS. "if we
are not included there is one possi-
bility we could go to court and ask
all operations be suspended until we
are included."
Mendota Heights mayor Bob
Lockwood said his official opinion
was stated in the letter sent to the
Eagan mayor and council following
the Jan. 17 meeting when Friendly
i

Hills residents attended the council
meeting opposing the track at
Eagan.
The letter stated that about 9g
people living in several neighbor-
hoods located near the city's south-
ern boundary attended the council
meeting concerned about the pro-
posed race track.
. 'These residents asked the coun-
cil to take action to oppose the track
but the council declined after due
deliberation and instead voted that
you be advised of the issues that do
pose a concern for both residents
and council members," the letter
continued.
The areas of concern are: rezon-
ing or pressure for changing land
issues between Friendly Hills and
the proposed track: public safety—
the need for additional police and
fire protection as well as increased
crime in the area surrounding the
track: diversion of traffic especially
onto trunk highway 49 and Dela-
ware: noise -anticipated noise of
crow ds and public address sys-
tems, at the site and the possibility

that air traffic will be diverted
northerly of the existing Bight cor-
ridor to avoid contact with track
operations.
It was acknowledged the EIS
would address some of these con-
cerns, the letter stated, as related to
the site in Eagan. But residents
concerned if the EIS addresses
these concerns as they affect the
area beyond the Eagan limits. .
It was specifically requested the
EIS contain the appropriate in-
formation addressing the above is-
sues as they affect Mendota Heights
and the immediate area, the letter
continued.
Although the council declined to
go on record as opposing the pro-
posed track the council members
are obviously concerned with the
above issues as well as other mat-
ters that affect the relationship of
the two local governments, the let-
ter ended.

Mertensotto. "I've received many
dozens of calls against it, and not
one for it."
Councilman Jim I.osleben said
he thought the track would disrupt
life in Mendota Heights, whose
southern border is one-half mil-_
from the proposed tracs,,,
"In the community we have now
we quiet down at the end of the
week," he said. "A racetrack on
that location is going to dramati-
cally change the weekend appear-
ance of Mendota Heights." Mayor
Robert Lockwood also voted to op-
pose the track.
Councilman John Hartmann said
he did not think the evidence
showed the track would be a nui-
sance. He voted against the resolu.
tion. .
"The interesting thing I find here
is that the individual members and
the mayor who voted for it just
happen to be up for reelection," he
said later. "I also find it strange
that Charlie Mertensotto spoke be-
fore against the advisability of a
resolution, and then makes a mo-
tion for the resolution. The
viewpoints of those people werere-
flected, in the letter we sent to
Fagan." -
Witt also said later that she is
ronvinced the track would not be a
nuisance, but that she had ab-
stained because she "really didn't
want to stir up the pot anymore."
Witt, who -is deputywas accused clerkclerk of

Mendota Heights attorney Sher-
man Winthrop said he did not know
if Witt would have had a conflict of
interest had she voted.
According to Cummins, who
spoke on behalf of the petitioners,
immediate opposition by Mendota!
Heights is necessary because the
time allotted between public hear-
ings on proposed track sites and
the selection of a site is too short
for effective opposition. Under the
schedule set by the Minnesota Rac-
ing Commissions, applications
would be due March 1, hearings
would be held the week of March
12, and a decision would be made
March 28.
Mendota Heights residents,
Cummins said, will continue to col-
lect signatures on their petition.
"We're continually Finding peo-
ple who are not aware it's so close
to our border, they still believe it's
in 'distant Eagan,"' he said. "We

Tiny Sunfish Lake, long frustrat-
ed in its fight against Interstate
494, has entered a new fray on its
southwest frontier.
The Sunfish Lake Council voted
4-0 last week against the proposed
horseracing track site in north-
west Eagan, becoming the first
city council to formally oppose one
of the eight proposed track sites.
'Sunfish Lake was joined a day lat-
er by Mendota Heights, In which
the council, by a vote of 3=1 with
one abstention, decided to register
its opposition to the Eagan site.
Sunfish Lake Mayor Duncan
Baird said he had known as early
as last summer that the site was
nearby, but did nothing until he
heard Mendota Heights residents
bad mobilized against it. Eagan, he
said, "is a very large community
with a lot of muscle."
I'd been very concerned about
lt,".-Baird said. "Suddenly it oc-
curred
rBurred to me'l wasn't alone any-
-more." '
Despite his concem, Baird did
not attend any of the public hear-
ings held in Eagan on rezoning and
financing for the track. "I muffed
the ball," he said.
A racetrack, Baird said, would
have "a terribly adverse impact"
on Sunfish Lake, a 1% -Square -
mile, semi -rural community of ex-
pensive homes at Eagan's north-
east tip.
"This whole area is designed to
be a high-class bedroom area, and
to put a racetrack in the middle of
it is bad news," he said. "Generally
you get a bunch of things that are
not desirable. When you live in an
area like this and people are flock-
ing all over, the results are inevita-
ble. They'll be poking down our
driveways, picnicking on our
lawns, and throwing garbage
around. Do we want a whorehouse
across the street?"
Sunfish Lake will be separated
from Eagan by 1494 and from the
site itself by one-half mile, but cars
will still have access from Dela- .
ware Avenue and South Robert.

mid-April
By Robert Whereatt
Staff writer
The decision on who will build and
operate Minnesota's first parimutuel
horse racing track Is expected to be
made by cold -April. the Chairman
Ray Eliot of the Minnesota Racing
OnUnIsslon said Tuesday.
Though there are eight prospective
groups with sites vying for the It -
cease that will be Laved for a track
In the seven -county metropolitan
area. Eliot said he believes only four
or five applications for the license
will be submitted to the commission,
Some could drop out of the competi-
tion because they cannot meet dead-
lines or because the application
process is so expensive.
The nine -member commission adopt-
ed rules yesterday that will be used
to decide which group gets the IM
cense. The deadline for applications
is 5 p.m., March 1,
"I expect them all (to be submitted) l
at quarter to five on March I," Eliot
said.
"It probably is going to take us 45
days to go through them (after the
deadline)," Eliot said. "I think we
-can arrive at a decision Inside of 45
days."
Eliot. also said that the hack could
open 14 or 15 months atter the It -
cease Is Issued. That would put the
opening date In June or July of 1985.
The chairman has said that it would
"take a miracle" to open a track In
1985. He said yesterday that a mlr.

April racetrack
selection is seen
By George Baran
Staff Writer
Ray Eliot, Minnesota Racing
Commission chairman, predicted
Tuesday that the racetrack to
serve the Twin Cities area will be
selected in April and could run its
first horse races by July 1985.
Eliot said his optimistic timeta-
ble assumes that no lawsuits Will
be filed to challenge the commis-
sion's licensing process. Track li-
cense applications must be submit-
ted to the commission by Marro 1.
Eight suburban sites in Dakota,
Washington, Anoka and Scott coun-
ties have been proposed for the $50
million track. The commission ex-
pects to get formal license applica-
tions for six oro re of the sites.
The contenders include Fagan,
Farmington, Hastings, Woodbury,
Blaine, Lino Lakes -Centerville,
Shakopee and Savage.
Track construction would be de-
layed in event a lawsuit challenges
the licensing process or someone
petitions the Metropolitan Council
to determine whether the track has
metropolitan significance, requir-
ing more reviews.
The commiecion removed anoth-
er potential problem by approving
a policy banning strikes and lock-
outs during construction of the fa -
Under the policy, a track devel-
oper would have to agree with the
state AFL CIO building trades
council on no strikes or lockouts.
Please,see Track/2C
Track.;:. --
® Continued from Page t C
The policy was proposed by
Commissioner Dan Gustafson,
Golden V211ey, secretary -treasurer
of the state AFL-CIO.
Fifty rules governing the track
license process received final ap-
proval by the commission after mi-
nor modifications were made at
the suggestion of state bearing ex-
aminers.
The commission also received a
county fair racing request from the
Traverse County Racing Commis-
sion based in Wheaton.
James Schoenrock, chairman of
the.group, said that the fair would
like to have five days of thorough-
bred and quarterhorse races begin -
Ding next year. He said the group is
ready to spend $50,000 to upgrade
its horse barns and track for pari-
mutuel racing.
Eliot advised the group that it

Dear Mayor Blomquist:
• Our Development Corporation has followed the Horse Racing
Facility issue with a great deal of interest. Recently,
the Board endorsed the Eagan site.
In addition, the Board requested that a notice of this
action be sent to the Mayors of area communities, along
with a request that similar action to considered by those
communities.
Copies of the letters to those Mayors are enclosed, along
with a copy of the accompanying resolution.
If you feel there is any additional work that we could do,
please don't hesitate to let us know.
Sincerely,
George Kis an
President

- The Inver Grove Heights Development Corporation has evaluated the pro-
posed sites for the Twin Cities Horse Racing facility, and supports the
site proposed for the City of Eagan.
The Development Corporation believes that with the completion of I-494
and the reconstruction of Minnesota 49, and with the transportation network
formed by other highways in the vicinity, the Eagan site is the most access-
ible one to the horse racing facility's primary and secondary markets.
Furthermore, its accessibility to the Twin Cities Metropolitan Airport pro-
vides an additional convenience for non -local owners, breeders, trainers,
and fans.
Additionally, the rural nature of Dakota County, the excellent local
transportation network in the county, and the availability of land for
small acreage farms, combine to offer facilities and amenities that will
encourage and foster the horse -breeding industry.
The Development Corporation further believes that the project propon- •
ents have prepared a development plan that addresses the health and safety
concerns of the public, the comfort requirements of racing patrons and
participants, and the financing requirements of the investment community.
The inclusion in the development plan of sites that will adequately accom-
modate the supporting commercial services needed by the public is an in-
telligent land use decision that will be instrumental in preventing future
congestion.
Finally, the Development Corporation views the Project Review Procedures
conducted by the City of Eagan, and the city's subsequent approval of all
aspects of the proposal, as evidence of both a thorough examination of the
project's potential impacts, and of enthusiastic citizen support for the
project. The citizens and officials of the City of Eagan are commended
for their thorough and expeditious review of the proposal.
For those reasons, as well as because of the projected new employment
and additional taxable valuation which the horse racing facility will gen- •
erate, the Inver Grove Heights Development Corporation supports the Eagan
site, urges the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Racing Commission
to designate it as the Twin Cities' Horse Racing Facility, and urges the
City of Inver Grove Heights to consider action supporting the Eagan pro-
posal.

Enclosed herewith please find the cost participation associated with the above
referenced project as it relates to State Project 1985-76 (T.H. 494-393).
The City cost participation based on the Schedule I dated September 26, 1983
does not include increasing the GE for West Blue Gentian to 20. Recent phone
conversations with Mn/DOT indicate the City share would increase by $19,000
while the actual construction cost would increase $64,000. Due to time'con-
straint associated with bidding S.P. 1985-76, the GE increase will be accomp-
lished with a supplemental agreement after the bid date. A summary of the
City cost participation for S.P. 1985-76 is summarized below:
CITY PARTICIPATION
• Schedule I, 9-26-83 $25,105.21
GE 20 West Blue Gentian Road 19,000.00
Sub -Total $44,105.21
+ 4.31% Mobilization, Field Office, Traffic Control, Etc. 1,901.50
Sub -Total $46,006.71
8% Construction Engineering 3,680.54
TOTAL CITY .................... $49,687.24
Therefore it is assumed that Mn/DOT portion will be the project cost for
street less the City participation ($429,390 - $49,687.24 - $379,700) as
shown on the Summary for Revenue Sources.

BLUE GER71M ROAD — PROJECT #349 - HEARIN
Mayor Bea Blomquist convened the public hearing concerning Project 4349
consisting of streets and storm sewer improvements in the Blue Gentian Road
area. Mr. Colbert introduced the project and Consulting Engineer Bob Rosene
detailed the feasibility report. A letter from attorney Howard Stacker on
behalf of RES Investment Company and 494 Investment Company requesting that
assessment issues be forwarded to the special assessment committee, was also
introduced. After review of the project, interested persons in the audience
had questions or made presentations.
Mary O'Neill from the O'Neill Homestead area questioned whether there was
• benefit to the O'Neill First Addition by the proposed improvements. The
relocation of Blue Gentian Road and the MnDOT acquisition of right-of-way
north of the O'Neill First Addition was discussed. MnDOT has indicated that
it would turn back that area of land and that the City could then vacate or
convey the property to the adjoining property owners in the event the property
owners so desire. There was considerable discussion concerning the alignment
of Blue Gentian Road west of Trunk Highway 0149 and it was noted the alignment
was intended to align with the.entrance road of the Laukka-Beck commercial
center. There were questions about the assessment method against the O'Neill
area. Agnus Polzin was present and stated that no notice had been sent to the
owners in her area but it was explained that that area will not be assessed.
There were also questions about cutting down traffic on Blue Gentian Road and
methods intended to be utilized, including signing, and the fact that the road
will be in a rough condition which should discourage traffic. After 45
minutes of discussion, Egan moved, Smith seconded the motion to close the
public hearing and approve Project 0349 with the understanding that !the con-
cerns of Mr. Stacker will be forwarded to the Assessment Committee;; further
that the concerns of the O'Neill family will be reviewed by the staff and the
council. Councilman Wachter suggested that the alignment of Blue Gentian Road
to the west of 0149 run south of the residential area, but it was noted that
there was no plans for development of that land at the present time. IThose in
favor were Blomquist, Smith, Egan and Thomas; Wachter voted no.

I -35B STREETS AND UTILITIES - PROJECT /372
The next public hearing convened by Mayor Blomquist concerned street and
utility crossings of I -35E, under Project 0372. The feasibility report was
reviewed by Mr. Colbert and Mr. Rosene consisting of a detailed report cover-
ing all of the proposed installations of utilities and street work. Mr.
Colbert indicated that it was important that the Council make a decision on
the installation at the present time before the highway construction is com-
menced. There was considerable discussion concerning proposed assessments,
including street improvements. John Klein appeared on behalf of Leo Murphy
and had questions concerning street assessments on the Murphy property. He
suggested the Assessment Committee review the issues and had questions about
access to Deerwood Drive and the Murphy road from the Murphy property.
Marlene Dolling from Deerwood Drive, questioned assessments for streets along
Deerwood Drive and it was noted that the City has participated in the cost and
will assess normal City residential equivalents for residential property
benefited by the improvements. John Klein also appeared for Francis Franz and
questioned the assessments where MnDOT pays for the cost. Mr. Colbert
explained the City cost participation and Mr. Klein asked that the issues be
referred to the assessment committee. After one hour of discussion and re- •
view, Smith moved, Wachter seconded the motion to close the public hearing and
approve Project 0372, including the preparation of detailed plans and specifi-
cations, noting the property owners can request referral to the Assessment
Committee for proposed assessments. All voted in favor.
GEORGE & MIRIAA HALL - VARIANCE - PILOT KNOB ROAD
The application of George and Miriam Nall for a variance from the five
acre provison, in order to keep horses on a 4 1/2 acre parcel on Deerwood
Drive and Pilot Knob Road, was next brought before the Council. Mr. Dale
Runkle, City Planner, reviewed the application and noted that the Advisory
Planning Commission had recommended denial for specific reasons. Since the
Advisory Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has discussed the issues
with the neighbors and it was recommended that in the event that the Council
approve the application, it be subject to the following: That a special
permit be on a one year basis, that the permit be limited to three horses with
adequate storage of grain, hay and disposal of manure and also adequate fences
be installed. Miriam Nall was present as were Alyce and Ted Bolke. The
Bolkes indicated there were no objections from neighbors if those conditions
outlined above were implemented. Ms. Nall indicated that the applicant would
conform with all City requirements and it was recommended that a three -wire
fence with corner braces be included. Smith moved, Wachter seconded the
motion to approve the application based upon the conditions mentioned above.

sion, it was noted that the applicant was not present. Smith moved, Egan

SUNSET 4TH ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The next application presented to the Council was the application of Tri -
Land Company and Brad Swenson for preliminary plat approval of Sunset 4th
Addition, consisting of 15.16 acres with 32 single family lots. The Advisory
Planning Commission recommended approval of the application, subject to condi-
tions. Dale Runkle introduced the application and reviewed the proposed
street access from the west from Northview Meadows and explained the rough-
ness of the topography. There was a question from Councilmembers concernng.
• the bubble from the lots to the north, and the normal objection to the use of
bubbles on streets. Brad Swenson was present as was Laura Marks on behalf of
the applicant and explained the reasons for not splitting the south tier of
lots, due to the steep terrain. He noted there was up to 18% slope and that
the Comprehensive Plan recommends that lots not be approved in a maximum of
15%• He stated that neighborhood meetings have been held and everyone present
at the meetings supported the design. He also noted there is a transition
from smaller to larger lots from north to south and discussed Hackmore Drive.
There was considerable discussion concerning the extension of Hackmore
Drive to serve the property to the south and the need for funding of the road
and utility improvements in Hackmore Drive. Mr. Sauter, a neighboring owner,
submitted a letter and Mr. Travers, a property owner to the southeast, to-
gether with other property owners in the general area were present. Gordon
King was also present and recommended the outlots on the south tier of, lots be
included to protect the King land to the south so that the cost of the road
and utility improvements could be shared. Mr. Travers favored large lot
transition and Tom Colbert recommended that the property owner either provide
for outlots on the south portion of the south tier of lots, or the posting of
an escrow sufficient to cover future streets and utility improvements within
the street. After lengthy discussion, Smith moved, Egan seconded the motion
to approve the application, subject to the following conditions:
1. That the applicant be required to escrow sufficient funds ,to cover
proposed street and utility improvements for Hackmore Drive.
• 2. That outlots be provided on the south portion of the southly tier of
lots within the subdivision.

EAGAN CITY CODS UPDATE
Tom Hedges discussed with the Council the staff's review of Ordinances
that were adopted by the City Council, effective January 1, 1983, changes that
have been proposed by the Council since that time, and proposed revisions that
have been made by the staff. He noted that meetings have been held with
Municipal Ordinance Codifiers personnel and staff members and a draft of
several different ordinance revisions was submitted for Council review.
Changes were due to corrections, changes in State law, and others by direction
of the City Council. It was noted that it would be advisable to address them
annually and also that all revisions were appropriate for Council action
except those within Chapters 11 and 13 regarding zoning and subdivision where
public hearings were required. It was recommended that the public hearing
notice for moving residential homes be sent to property owners within 350
feet, rather than 500 feet. There was also discussion concerning status
offenses in relation to curfews and a request was again made by the City
Council for the staff and City Attorneys to review that issue with further
report to the Council. Egan moved, Thomas seconded the motion to approve the
proposed Ordinance revisions and authorize their publication in the legal
• newspaper with the 500 foot notice regarding moving residential buildings
changed to 350 feet; that the staff submit further information concerning the

• MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1984
SUBJECT: AGENDA INFORMATION MEMO/FEBRUARY 21, 1984 COUNCIL MEETING
After approval of the February 7, 1984 regular City Council minutes
and the agenda for the February 21, 1984 regular City Council
meeting, the following items are in order for consideration:
FIRE DEPARTMENT
A. Fire Department -- There are no items to be considered under
Fire Department at this time.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
B. Police Department -- There are no items to be considered under
Police Department at this time.
• PARK & RECREATION DEPARTMENT
C. Park & Recreation Department -- There are no items to be con-
sidered under Parks & Recreation Department at this time.
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
D. Public Works Department -- There are no items to be considered
under Public Works Department at this time.
PROTECTIVE INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT
E. Protective Inspections Department -- During 1983, the 1978 Nova
(used police car) was approved for replacement in the Building In-
spection Department. The City authorized the purchase of a 1984
one-half ton pickup (F100) in the amount of $8,916 from Southview
Chevrolet. The department's budget for equipment certificates in
1983 has been considered at $10,500, and due to a price break, the
equipment, according to specifications, was purchased at the $8,916
figure. This equipment has been delivered and is being used pri-
marily by the Assistant Building Inspector/Fire Marshal. The Chief
Building Inspector anticipated replacement for the 1975 Ford F100
pickup that has been used by the Fire Marshal. This unit is experi-
encing a number of mechanical problems as well as body problems
and should be considered for replacement. The Building Inspector
• had anticipated the replacement this year and requested $10,500
in the operating budget for 1984 which was omitted by the City Coun-
cil with the understanding it would be later considered as a possi-

ble equipment certificate. The City Administrator addressed the
City Council at the January 18 City Council meeting and was advised
to contact Peoples Natural Gas Company and any other users of the
small compact pickups to determine whether these pickups are proving
to be more efficient than the full size pickups for performance,
longevity and resale. The Chief Building Inspector has made a com-
parison of the compact pickups and standard pickups and a copy of
his response is found on page —3. . The Chief Building Inspector
has also had the 1975 For assessed by the maintenance garage and
the repair work that is needed is estimated at approximately $1,000
with no consideration for labor. Currently, that pickup is not
being used due to a break in transmission problem. Enclosed on
pages —+-- through S" is a copy of a memorandum from Chief Buil-
ding Inspector Peterson to the City Administrator reviewing the
equipment problems.
Because the Inspection Department is working primarily in new sub-
divisions and often streets and driveways are in a rough preliminary
grade status, the F100 has proven to be very efficient as a vehicle
for those conditions. The analysis between a full size vehicle
and compact is brief and a more comprehensive study can be made •
if the City Council so desires. If the City Council desires to
purchase a second half -ton pickup, Southview Chevrolet will recog-
nize the $8916 bid for a 1984 heavy duty half -ton pickup cr;mpatible
with the pickup purchased in December 1983. This equipment would
be purchased from equipment c:crtificates in 1984.
For City Council reference, the other vehicle that is used in the
Building Inspection Department is a used police Citation which the
Chief Building Inspector uses for meetings, inspections and general
use within the department. The mechanical and electrical inspectors
are paid as consultants and therefore use their own vehicles. The
new plan check personnel to be hired by the City will perform most
of his or her work in City Hall and would utilize, for the present,
the Citation jointly with the Chief Building Inspector.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny authoriza-
tion to purchase an F100 half -ton pickup in the amount of $8,916
from Southview Chevrolet as an authorized expenditure under 1984
equipment certificates.

FROM: DALE PETERSON, CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIA
RE: COMPARISON OF COMPACT PICKUPS AND STANDARD PICKUPS
FOR DEPARTMENT USE
I have discussed American made compact pickups with Peoples
Natural Gas, Eagan Public Works and shop mechanics at two
dealerships. I also have studied the U.S. Department of
Energy's 1984 EPA fuel economy estimates.
The Chevrolet GMC and Ford compacts with six cylinder engines
and automatic transmission have provided their owners with a
fuel consumption of 19 - 22 miles per gallon and maintenance
costs were good and somewhat less than the standard pickup.
Standard pickups bythe same manufacturers with the same equip-
ment, bought with a 300 - 310 cubic inch V8 engine, averaged
13 - 17 miles per gallon and the base price was $300 to $500
more. Peoples Natural Gas reported that their experience with
compact pickups manufactured outside the United States have
proved unsatisfactory and American made are satisfactory for
ordinary uses. All of the operators and mechanicss were doubt-
ful though that the compacts would be feasible for the amount
of off-street use demanded by the department because of the
lower ground clearances and the difference of the material
strength used in the full-size pickups. It also is unknown
whether or not the compact pickups will give the five-year
service necessary for long term efficiency and economy.. Most
of the reports that I have been checking have been in generalities,.
but if you need specifics, I will attempt to get them for you.
I will request quotations immediately upon receipt of your answer
on which type of unit the department should purchase.

RE: UNIT #501, 1975 FORD F100
The manual three -speed transmission Of Unit 501 failed on or about
January 18. This was in addition to the already dangerous brakes.
We had hoped to keep it operating as it was the most feasible one
to use until the replacement for 502 was authorized.
Bill Branch, Superintendent of Public Works, prepared a repair estimate
on 501 for me in hopes it would be economically feasible to make it last
for a few more miles. The resulting estimate using almost all in -Muse
labor was $917. arra that was to do the mininm repairs as required by
law.
is I have enclosed Bill's cost breakdown for your use. It would be unfair
for the inspectors to use their own cars as the City's 20fi per mile car
allowance is about ane -half of the actual cost to operate their own vehicle.
Thank you for your consideration of this problem.

• Agenda Information Memo
February 21, 1984 City Council Meeting
Page Three
There are six (6) items on the agenda referred to as the Consent
Agenda requiring one (1) motion by the City Council. If the City
Council desires to discuss any of the items in further detail, those
items should be removed from the Consent Agenda and placed under
Additional Items unless the discussion required is brief.
PERSONNEL ITEMS
A. Personnel Items -- There are two (2) personnel items for consi-
deration.
1. The City has been able to obtain a level one custodian
through the Minnesota Emergency Employment Development
Act (MEED) for six months at a rate of compensation of
$4.00 per hour. There is no expense to the City of Eagan.
The person is Jeff McGuffee. Mr. McGuffee is our park
foreman's, Jim McGuffee, brother. Mr. McGuffee will not
be working under any supervision or at any time with his
brother. Since the position is not a full-time position
• with the City and is being sponsored through the MEED pro-
gram, there is no conflict with our existing personnel
policy.
2. The City has budgeted, in the Police Department budget,
effective March 1, 1984, the hiring of a full-time police
officer. Chief of Police Berthe is recommending that
Steven Grimm, who is currently a cadet with the Eagan
Police Department, be appointed by the City Council as
a full-time officer. Mr. Grimm has completed all of his
schooling and P.O.S.T. requirements to become a licensed
police officer in the State of Minnesota.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the hiring of
Mr. McGuffee under the MEED program and Mr. Grimm as a new patrol
officer to be effective March 1, 1984.
MEED AGREEMENT
B. MEED Agreement -- Dakota County has forwarded to the City for
execution the form MEED agreement covering the employment by the
City of Eagan of persons under the MEED program. Presently, there
are four such employees. These include Annette Kinstler in Adminis-
tration, John Bergstrom in Protective Inspections, James Strum in
Parks & Recreation and Jeff McGuffee in General Government Buil-
dings.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To authorize the Mayor and
City Clerk to execute the MEED agreement.

CONTRACT 82-7/CHANGE ORDER #2
C. Contract 82-7, change Order #2, Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition
(Streets & Utilities) -- Change Order #2 for this contract consists
of three parts:
A. Prior to the completion of the street surfacing in the
third addition, the developer had not completed his overall
site grading. Subsequently, in order to complete the
grading on the north end of the project, it was necessary
that the material be moved over the partially completed
street construction. It was agreed that this development
would be responsible for any subsequent damage to the road
bed caused by this dirt moving operation. (Add $4,713.08.)
B. The contract proposal inadvertantly omitted a requested
bid item to complete the storm sewer system as designed
within the approved plans. Subsequently, this work was
performed on a time and material basis. (Add $662.35.)
C. During the site grading and excavation work by the develo-
per, the developer buried his tree removal and miscellane- •
ous debris along the alignment of the proposed storm sewer
which resulted in extra costs to correct the pipe bedding
for the storm sewer. Due to the fact that this tree and
debris burial was unauthorized within the City easement,
the developer is responsible for the costs incurred by
the City's contractor. (Add $1,561.54.)
All costs associated with this change order will become the respon-
sibility of the development and included in the final assessment
figures. The total increase for Change Order #2 to be added to
Contract #82-7 is $6,936.97.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve Change Order #2
to Contract 82-7 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
all related documents.

D. Project 394, Receive Feasibility Report/Order Plans a Specifi-
cations (Yankee Doodle Reservoir - Repainting) -- The approved 1984
utility budget provided for the repainting of the Yankee Doodle
Road 5.0 M.G. water reservoir. This reservoir has not been re-
painted since its construction in 1971. Subsequently, the Public
Works Director requested that a feasibility report be prepared and
it is now being presented to the Council, a copy is enclosed on

get, no public hearing is necessary. Therefore, the Public Works
Director is requesting authorization from the City Council to pre-
pare detailed plans and specifications which will be reviewed by
the Council in further detail during March.

• SCOPE: This project provides for the repainting of the exterior of the 5.0
million gallon water reservoir. This reservoir is located along Yankee Doodle
Road, just west of State Highway 149.
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The subject project is feasible from an en-
gineering.standpoint. It is most effectively bid as a single project.
DISCUSSION: The 5.0 M.G. Yankee Doodle Road water reservoir was constructed
and originally painted in 1971. The reservoir has not yet been repainted.
In 1980, this reservoir was completed drained and thoroughly inspected.
This inspection indicated deterioration of the exterior surface painting. The
interior paint system, however, had not yet deteriorated to any significant
degree. Tiny paint blisters were evident, but no peeling or flaking of the
existing paint system had occurred.
• Our recent inspection of this reservoir site confirmed that the exterior
paint coating has significantly deteriorated. Among the more noticeable signs
•
of this situation is a large amount of rust formation on the relatively flat
tank roof, and rock chips and carved graffiti on the sides. The coating on
the tank interior as observed from the manhole in the top appears to still be
in quite good condition.
It is recommended that only the exterior tank coating be replaced with
this project.
In light of the relatively good condition of the tank interior coating and
the continued use of an effective cathodic protection system which minimizes
corrosion, it is believed that significant additional life is attainable from
the existing interior coating.
Page 1.
9249b
• We do recommend, however, that the interior be inspected annually to de-
termine when recoating will be required. Recoating will probably be required
in another 3 to 5 years.
The original tank exterior coating system was a Tnemec No. 77 Chem -Prime
metal primer followed by two coats of Tnemec Exterior Tnemec-Gloss Enamel.
The total dry paint thickness was checked and found to range from 4 - 6 mils.
The total thickness averaged just slightly over 4 mils.
Due to the severly deteriorated condition of the existing coating, it is
recommended that the entire exterior tank surface be given a commercial sand
blast cleaning to remove the present coating system and prepare the surface
for proper paint application and adherance.
It is further proposed that a new coating system consisting of two epoxy-
• polyamide prime coats followed by a finish coat of an aliphatic polyurethane
enamel be applied to the tank exterior. This proposed paint system is superi-
or to the existing paint system. It is designed to provide high resistance to
abrasion and corrosion, to provide long-term retention of initial color and
gloss, and to provide easy removal of graffiti. This is the same exterior
paint system as that used on both the 2.0 M.G. Cliff Road reservoir and the
4.0. M.G. Safari Pass reservoir.
Currently, the City name "Eagan" is not painted on this reservoir. Prior
to development of the repainting project specifications, it is recommended
that the Eagan City Council determine whether it wishes to have "Eagan"
painted on the reservoir as part of this project.
Relative to project scheduling, this reservoir repainting was originally
planned for the 1983 construction season. It was moved back to the 1984 con -
40. struction season to allow the new 4.0 M.G. Safari Pass reservoir to effective -

•
ly increase Eagan's total water storage capacity and to minimize, as much as
possible, the impact of taking the 5.0 M.G. reservoir out -of service for the
repainting period.
The timing of this project within the construction season is very criti-
cal. It is essential that this water reservoir be operational during the hot,
dry months in which water usage is greatest. Therefore, it is recommended
that the project commence as early in spring as weather permits, and that the
project completion date be set at June 15, 1984. It is also recommended that
substantial liquidated damages be specified to ensure that this project is ex-
pedited.
COST ESTIMATE: The project costs are included below. It is anticipated that
this project would be bid on a lump sum basis.
Exterior Sand Blasting and Repainting $42,000
+ 5% Contingency 2,100
$44,100
+ 27% Legal, Engr., Admin. 6 Bond Interest 11,900
ESTIMATED PROJECT COST ................ $56,000
The estimated project cost includes 5% contingencies and 27% for
legal, engineering, administration and bond interest.
ASSESSMENTS: It is assumed that no assessments will be levied for this proj-
ect as it is an expected periodic maintenance item of the water storage system.
REVENUE: It is assumed that the entire cost of this project will be covered
by the water system renewal and replacement fund.

PROJECT 349/BLUE GENTIAN ROAD
A. Project 349, Blue Gentian Road (Streets -Storm Sewer) -- During
1983, MnDOT started finalizing the construction plans for the
easterly extension of I-494 and its interchange with T.H. 149 (Old
Dodd Road). Due to the configuration of this interchange, it was
necessary to relocate Blue Gentian Road further to the south. Sub-
sequently, segments of West Blue Gentian Road and East Blue Gentian
Road will be upgraded to City standards. Subsequently, the City
Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility report to dis-
cuss the benefits associated with the relocation and upgrading of
East and West Blue Gentian Roads.
On January 17, the City Council formally received the feasibility
report for Project 349 and scheduled the public hearing to be held
on February 21. Enclosed on pages 19-35 is a copy of the feasi-
bility report for your reference during the public hearing.
All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent
• to all property owners who would be affected by this proposed im-
provement.
With the tight time frame associated with the progression of I-494,
It is important that this project be approved or denied on February
21 so that MnDOT can proceed with the advertisement for bids and
subsequent contract award during March.
Thd Director of Public works and Consulting Engineer will be availa-
blej to discuss the details associated with this project at the pub-

PROJECT 372/I -35E STREETS 8 UTILITIES
B. Project 372, I -35E (Streets & Utilities) -- During the past
several years, as the progression of I -35E through the City of Eagan
became more of a reality, the Public Works Director and Consulting
Engineer worked very closely with MnDOT to evaluate the impact of
this interstate through our community in relationship to relocation
of existing and construction of future streets and utilities. As
MnDOT's plans became more finalized, the City and the Consulting
Engineering firm were able to evaluate the needs for streets and
utility installation and subsequent benefit derived from adjacent
properties.
Subsequently, a detailed feasibility report was prepared incorpora-
ting all proposed improvements associated with I -35E from Diffley
Road to just south of the Lone Oak Road interchange. Due to the
length of this 75 -page report, it is enclosed in your packets as
a separate document without page numbers for use during the public
hearing.
All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent
• to property owners who would be assessed for the benefits received
from the improvements associated with this project. It is proposed
that all construction associated with this project would be per-
formed by MnDOT under a cost participation agreement. Due to the
tight time schedules associated with the construction of this sec-
tion of I -35E, it becomes important for the Council to take action
on this project at the public hearing on February 21 so that MnDOT
can proceed with the advertisement for bids for a contract award
in March of 1984.

CITY CODE UPDATE
A. City Code Update -- The original ordinance codification
was adopted effective January 1, 1983, when the first City Code
was formally implemented for the City of Eagan. Because of
legislative changes that occurred in 1983, the adoption of new
City legislation (ordinances) and a proposal to amend or adopt
new legislative ordinances,the City Administrator proposed an update
of the City Code. Upon City Council authorization the City staff,
specifically the City Administrator, Director of Finance, and Admin-
istrative Assistant in charge of the City Clerk Division of Finance,
have met with the City Attorney's office and Mr. Roger Jensen to
review all chapters of the City Code and discuss Minnesota legisla-
tive changes, City ordinance changes, and proposed City legislation.
Mr. Jensen has codified all the revisions for the City Code which
includes all the changes that would occur for a reason referenced
above. The City Administrator has attempted to recognize the intent
of the City Council by keeping any and all ordinance amendments
that may attract a significant change in public policy out of the
ordinance codification. Those ordinances must be reviewed and
adopted as a separate agenda item and if approved, would be incor-
porated in a future City Code revision. Enclosed is a copy of
• a memorandum from Roger Jensen'soffice to the City that incorporates
all the changes as previously discussed. The City staff will have
a final meeting to review all the City Code revisions as proposed
and any final changes will be shared with the City Council before
any action on Tuesday.
If there are any sections of the City Code revisions that the City
Council would like additional information or discussion on, they
could be further evaluated at a future workshop or City Council
meeting. However, generally speaking, most of these changes either
incorporate previous City Council action, action by the Minnesota
Legislature or an intent by the City Council to incorporate some
changes to the City Code. A copy of those City Code revisions
are enclosed on pagesAro through -71 for your review.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the City
Code revisions as presented by the City's codifier, Mr. Roger
Jensen of Municipal Codifiers Inc.

REVISION MEMO - EAGAN
• February 13, 1984
TO: Liz Witt, Administrative Staff
FROM: Lorraine E. O'Reilly, Codifier
RE: 1984 City Code Revisions
we herewith hand you ordinances amending Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9,
10, 11 and 13 of the City Code. You will note that we have assigned
numbers to these ordinances beginning with Ordinance No. 6 (which
number had been assigned to a proposed ordinance but never adopted).
Since Ordinance No. 10, 2nd Series was adopted and published, we have
skipped that number and picked up with No. 11.
The enclosed ordinances, together with the covering memo, should be
reviewed by the City Administrator, the City Attorney, and other City
staff as to their specific areas. If approved as drafted, the
ordinances should then be submitted to the Council. After the
ordinances have been adopted and published, please forward published
copies to our office so that we are aware of any changes which have
been made in the City's review. The revision pages will then be
prepared by our office for insertion in the Code.
• CHAPTER 1
Section 1.02, Subd. 13, has been amended to increase the penalty for a
misdemeanor from $500.00 to $700.00 in accordance with the statute.
CHAPTER 2
Ordinance No. 10, 2nd Series, will be incorporated into the Code in
preparing the revision pages.
CHAPTER 3
Subdivision 1 of Sec. 3.05 has been amended as requested, but the
requirement for "written" permission has been retained in Subd. 7,
Subparagrah B, as requested. No change has been made in Sec. 3.20,
Subd. 1, as to shutting off water service due to delinquency since
this is covered in the general provisions of Sec. 3.05, but Subdivi-
sions 4, 9 and 10 are amended to reflect requested changes by the City
as to additional water valve requirements, providing for a City policy
as to unmetered service, and that all water meters shall be purchased
from the City.
CHAPTER 4
•Section 4.01 has been amended to adopt the latest edition of the
Uniform Building Code and optional appendices. Section 4.10 has been
revised in its entirety to comply with the 1983 statute and also to
provide for a hearing and an owner's permit, as well as the permit to
-1- 40
use the streets, as requested. This amendment should be specifically
•reviewed by the Building Inspector for any comments he may have.
Subdivision 3, Subparagraph C of Sec. 4.20 has been amended to also
restrict signs within specified distances from railroad rights-of-way.
Ordinance No. 3, 2nd Series, which also amends Sec. 4.20, will be
incorporated in preparing the revision pages. A new Sec. 4.60 is
provided for which allows construction headquarters, temporary
structures and storage areas until 858 of the units in the plat have
been developed.
CHAPTER 5
Definition of club and fraternal club have been amended in accordance
with the 1983 statute which changed the required term of existence
from ten years to three. while Ordinance No. 5 amended Sec. 5.13 to
change the effective date, this Section was further reviewed at the
conference. Subdivision 2 presently exempts only temporary beer
licensees from the requirements of this Section. Due to legislative
amendments to this statute in 1983, the establishment of exemptions by
other beer as well as on -sale wine licensees can be proven by
affidavit, and therefore ease the burden of the City to require proof
of eligibility for such exemption. We are therefore inserting the
exemption to include on -sale beer licensees with sales of less than
$10,000, off -sale beer licensees with sales of less than $20,000, and
on -sale wine licensees with sales of less than $10,000. We specifi-
cally call your attention to these added exemptions since it was felt
at the conference that this should be a Council decision.
While Sec. 5.34 was amended .by Ordinance No. 5, it has been revised to
delete references to "non -intoxicating malt liquor", since "beer" is
so defined in Section 5.01. Subdivision 1 of Sec. 5.52 has been
amended to remove the alternative of liability insurance (mandatory
requirement in Sec. 5.13), and adds Subd. 14 to allow an off -sale
licensee to provide free samples in accordance with Chapter 259 of the
1983 Laws. The on -sale wine license fee has been changed to $200.00
for an annual license and $100.00 for a Sunday license. The prohibi-
tion in Sec. 5.80 as to consumption and display has been repealed and
new Sec. 5.81 inserted which provides for an annual consumption and
display license. The fee to be paid to the City is $300.00. In
addition, the applicant is required to pay a fee of $100.00 to the
State of Minnesota. Section 5.14 is also a new Section which we
strongly recommend be added to the general provisions at the beginning
of this Chapter. You will note that it requires thirty days notice to
the City prior to cancellation. It is our feeling that the ten day
notice period is insufficient since it does not allow ample time to
give notice and hold a hearing as to action to be taken on the
license.
CHAPTER 6
The definiton of a kennel has been amended to provide for "four or
more dogs or cats" rather than three. Ordinance No. 4 amending Sec.
•6.42 as to construction, alteration or repair of buildings will be
incorporated in preparing the revision pages.
-2- it l
CHAPTER 8
Adoption of MSA Chapter 169 has been updated to amend through Laws
1983.
CHAPTER 9
Section 9.16 has been amended to update in accordance with Chapter 24
of the 1983 Laws which prohibits obstructing access to a handicapped
parking space, requires visible sign -posting and non-movable signs,
and authorizes tagging on private and public property.
CHAPTER 10
Ordinance No. 2 prohibiting trapping will be inserted in preparing the
revision pages. Dangerous weapons or articles, due date of dog and
cat licenses and curfew have been amended in Sections 10.10, 10.11 and
10.30. The requested ordinance relating to building security and fire
alarm systems has been inserted as Sec. 10.43 with some revision to
follow the format of the City Code.
CHAPTER 11
The definition of Planned Development from proposed Ordinance No. 7
has been inserted in Sec. 11.03, as well as the definition of setback.
Subdivision 26 of Sec. 11.10 has been amended to correct confusing
language and the references to the Industrial Districts have been
•changed in Sec. 11.20, as requested. Day care special permits have
been repealed in the Agricultural and Residential Districts as
provided in proposed Ordinance No. 6, and on -sale wine and 3.2 beer as
a conditional use in the I-1 Industrial District inserted.: The typo
error on Page 397 will be corrected in typing the revision pages.
CHAPTER 13
The Council waiver has been amended in Sec. 13.02, Subd. 2, in
accordance with proposed Ordinance No. 13. Amendments to Sections
13.10 and 13.30 have been inserted as requested.
CHAPTER 25
Ordinances numbered 101, 102 and 103 will be inserted in preparing the
revision pages, as will Ordinance No. 1, 2nd Series, which adopted the
codification.

SUBJECT: VARIANCE
APPLICANT: GEORGE L. & MIRIAM M NALL
LOCATION: SW; OF THE NA OF SECTION 22
EXISTING ZONING: R-1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 24, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 19, 1984
REPORTED BY: JUDY HEALD
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been received for the keep-
ing of horses on a 4.50 -acre parcel of land zoned R-1 (Residential
Single District) located at 3960 Pilot Knob Road (Parcel No. 10-02200-
040-27).
CITY CODE REQUIREMENT
Section 10.12, Subdivision 2, Keeping, states in part, "It is unlaw-
ful for any person to keep or harbor any animal, not in transit, ex-
is
cept (1) farm animals kept in that portion of the City zoned Agricul-
tural.and containing no less than five acres."
A horse is defined as a "Farm Animal"
Therefore, the applicant needs a variance for the 4.50 acres of land
as well as the R-1 zoning.
It should be noted, however, the City Code does not limit the number
of horses per parcel or the distance the horses will be kept from the
property line. Since staff has been receiving other inquiries about
the number of horses allowed per acre, perhaps the Advisory Planning
Commission would want to limit the number per acre or per application.
The Planning Commission may also want to look at the distance the
horses will be pastured or stabled from the property line.
COMMENTS
The applicants are presently owners of the property but are requesting
the variance for the occupants of the site. The applicants have stat-
ed there will be 3 horses housed on the site which will be cared for
by the occupants.
As can be seen on the applicant's site plan, the proposed fenced -in
•area for the keeping of the horses will be on the north side of the
property which will be adjacent another large, unplatted parcel, and
to the west, County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road). The block marked "SHED"

will house the horses.
If approved, the variance shall be subject to the following condi-
tions:
1) There shall be no more than 3 horses stabled on the site.
2) No other farm animals as defined in Section 10.12 shall be
allowed.
3) No commercial or home occupation shall be permitted in con-
nection with the keeping of the horses.
4) Fencing shall be subject to the requirements of the City
Code.
5) All other applicable ordinances shall be complied with.

DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 24, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 18, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting
preliminary plat, Sunset 4th Addition, consisting of approximately
15.16 acres and would contain 32 single family lots in part of the
NA of the NA of Section 25 south of County Road 30 (Diffley Road),
west of Saddlehorn Addition and north of Hackmore Drive.
ZONING AND LAND USE
• Presently, the parcel is zoned PD (Planned Development District) in
the Lexington South Planned Development. The proposed land use de-
signated for this parcel is R -II (Mixed Residential) with a density
of 3-6 dwelling units per acre. The Comprehensive Guide Plan desig-
nates this parcel as R -I and R -II with the northeasterly portion being
R -I (Single Family Residential) with a density of 0-3 dwelling units
per acre; the westerly portion of the plat is designated is R -II
(Mixed Residential) with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre.
The overall plat density contains 2.2 dwelling units per acre, thus
conforming with the R -I proposed land use of the Comprehensive Guide
Plan.
COMMENTS
As stated above, the proposed development will contain 15.16 acres
and would contain 32 single family lots. Each of the proposed single
family lots would meet all of the R-1 zoning requirements which is
85' lot width and 12,000 square feet. The net density of this de-
velopment proposal is 2.2 dwelling units per acre which is a low den-
sity for single family development.
The proposed plat abuts Sunset 1st Addition on the most easterly por-
tion of the plat. The access to Sunset 4th Addition would be through
Sunset 1st Addition where Richard Lane will tie into Yorktown Place
•and provide access from the east. Access from the west, Yorktown
Place, will be stubbed from Northview Meadows to this proposed devel-
opment. There will be two access points to this plat for good traffic

movement. The applicant is proposing a looped street, Sunset Drive,
which would provide access to all of the single family lots south of
Yorktown Place.
In review of the surrounding land use, there appears to be three
single family residences abutting this plat on the south. Two of the
residences contain approximately 5 acres and would have access from a
private street at the present time, which, in the future, may be the
extension of Hackmore Drive. Presently, it is not proposed to develop
Hackmore Drive or upgrade Hackmore Drive with this preliminary plat be-
cause the lots do have access from other streets which will be construct-
ed to City standards.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) All lots shall meet the minimum R-1 zoning criteria which is
85 -foot lot width and 12,000 square feet.
2) The applicant shall dedicate all easements as requested by
City staff.
3)
All other City ordinances shall be met.

• MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: JANUARY 16, 1984
SUBJECT: SUNSET 4TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consider-
ation by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE/TOPOGRAPHY
This proposed development is located directly east of Northview Mea-
dows Addition and south of County Road 30-. The existing topography
consists of rolling hills with the south half of this portion drain-
ing to the south and the north half of this portion draining to the
east. The southerly portion of this proposed development slopes
rather steeply to the south with the slopes approaching 18%. Slopes
in the northerly portion of this proposed development range from 28
to 158. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship of this proposed de-
velopment being located partially within the J and L major drainage
districts as defined by the Master Storm Sewer Plan.
• The proposed grading will result in a low spot being in the vicinity
of Lot 9, Block 2 with all the drainage north of the proposed street
being directed towards it. From here, it is directed to the east via
storm sewer through the Sunset lst Addition and then to the north to
a holding area just south of Pond JP -27.
UTILITIES
Existing utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist with-
in the proximity of this proposed development to provide service to
it.
Watermain for this proposed development is proposed to be looped
through this development from an existing 6" watermain within York-
town Place to the watermain constructed within the Sunset lst Addi-
tion. Sanitary sewer for this proposed development is proposed to
be serviced by extending the sanitary sewer proposed to be construct-
ed within the Sunset lst Addition. This sewer and water should also
be stubbed to the east boundary of the Sunset lst Addition to facil-
itate future utility extensions to the property to the east.
If utilities are to be installed under private contract, then the
plans and specifications shall be prepared by a registered engineer
and submitted to the City for approval.
• STREETS
Access to this proposed development consists of a public street named
Yorktown Place located within the Northview Meadows Addition and abuts
�Z

the west boundary of this proposed development.
It is proposed to extend Yorktown Place to the east and provide in-
ternal access by way of a public looped street. The public looped
street will provide for excellent traffic flow, however, staff would
recommend that Yorktown Place be extended to the east boundary of
Sunset 1st Addition. This would provide a connection with the pro-
posed north -south street within the Sunset 1st Addition and greatly
improve the traffic circulation.
The developer proposes to construct the internal street under pri-
vate contract and petition for the City to install the curb and gut-
ter and bituminous paving for Yorktown Place. Staff has no problem
with this as long as it is made a condition.of the final plat for
the developer to provide the gravel base for Yorktown Place.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
The developer is proposing a 60' right-of-way for Yorktown Place and
a 50' right-of-way for the internal street, Sunset Drive, which staff
concurs with. However, staff strongly recommends extending the right-
of-way for Yorktown Place from the east boundary of this preliminary
plat as proposed to the east boundary of Sunset 1st Addition for rea-
sons previously mentioned. Also, a minimum 25' half right-of-way
shall be dedicated for Hackmore Drive along the southerly border of
this proposed development.
A 10' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to all publicly
dedicated right-of-way along with a 5' drainage and utility easement
being dedicated adjacent to all exterior lot lines with a 10' drain-
age and utility easement being dedicated over all interior lot lines.
In addition, the necessary storm sewer easements required by the pro-
posed alignment across Lot 11, Block 2 of this proposed Addition and
Lot 4, Block 1 of the Sunset 1st Addition will be required to be dedi-
cated and/or obtained.
ASSESSMENTS
In reviewing the assessments levied over this proposed development
which consists of Parcel 010-27 and 021-27 of the NW's of Section 25,
it was found that all trunk related assessments have been levied.
Subsequently, all future costs for public improvements shall be the
sole responsibility of this proposed development.
MISCELLANEOUS
As proposed, this development will pose a problem in the future re-
garding the construction of streets and utilities within Hackmore
Drive since Lots 6-10, Block 1 will have double frontages. Subse- •
quently, it will be difficult to assess any benefit resulting from
utility and street improvements within Hackmore Drive to these lots,
thereby jeopardizing the financing of any such projects. Therefore,
1 a-
ENGINEERING REPORT
• SUNSET 4TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
JANUARY 16, 1984
PAGE THREE
staff would recommend that Lots 6-10, Block 1 be subdivided each into
two lots with the additional lot being labeled an outlot. This would
provide the owner of a lot ownership and control over the outlot
should it elect to be included with this purchase and also allow the
City to assess the benefits resulting from the improvements of Hack -
more Drive.
An alternate to this would be for the developer to provide an escrow
account for the costs of improving Hackmore Drive which may be drawn
against upon the improvement of Hackmore Drive. Finally, a last al-
ternative is to leave the plat as proposed thereby encumbering the
City's trunk funds for future improvements within Hackmore Drive.
i will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Ad-
visory Planning Commission at their meeting of January 24, 1984:
Respectfully submitted,
Richard M. Hefti, P.E.

Swenson, and Jim Curry appeared for the applicant. Mr. Swenson explained the
slope features and heavy tree cover on the south and stated there is little
chance of the southerly portion of the lots being developed because of the
slope. There are smaller lots to the north and larger residential' lots to the
south and it was suggested that the lot sizes make a reasonable transition.
He stated that neighborhood meetings have been held.and no objections have
been received, in ,fact, neighbors generally approved the project. The owner
of the property to the east appeared and supported the proposal as well as
other property owners who were in support of the project. There was discussion
concerning the proposal of the engineering staff to provide that the southerly
lots be divided, including outlots on the south side of each lot to allow
future development, also assessments for the possible extension of Hackmore
Drive in the future. Member Rrob stated that the Planning Commission and
Council must listen to the staff recommendations and not only look at the
immediate development but the long-term city responsibility, but also was
aware of the transition from smaller to larger lots to the south. Mr. Sauter,
an owner to the south, was present and stated that he may need access to
Hackmore Drive extended if his land is subdivided. Wilkins moved, McCrea
seconded the motion to recommend approval of .-the application subject to the
following conditions:
1. All lots shall meet the minimum R-1 zoning criteria which is 85 -foot •
lot width and 12,000 square feet.
2. The applicant shall dedicate all easements as requested by City
staff.
3. All other City ordinances shall be met.
4. A detailed grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted for

Eagan City nall
Lagan, Minnesota
Lear Eagan City Council,
my wife and I will not be able to attend the February 21 City
Council meeting. We understand the preliminary plat for Sunset
Four Addition will be on the agenda and since this development
adjoins our north property line we want you to know our views.
As we told the City Planning Commission, next to no development
this plan was the best we've seen. From our point of view the
large size lots on the south are the most attractive feature and
are critical for our support of this development. This feature
makes a perfect transition between the low density housing to the
south and the higher density housing in the north part of the
development. In addition it preserves the trees and the rugged
terrain of the area that attracted us to this area thirteen
years ago.
• We ask that you do not change the status of these larger
lots and approve the plan in the same manner as the Planning
Commission. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Betty and perry Sauter

MEMO TO: THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
• FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1984
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT - SUNSET 4TH ADDITION
During the staff review of this proposed subdivision, the Engineer-
ing Division recommended (#13) that Lots 6-10 of Block 1 be divided
into outlots fronting onto Hackmore Drive to eliminate the proposed
double frontage of these lots. This recommendation was omitted
from the approval granted by the Planning Commission with no sug-
gested alternative to future problems associated with financing
the upgrading of Hackmore Drive.
The attached map shows the location of the proposed Sunset 4th
Addition to the dedicated right-of-way of Hackmore Drive. If the
Sunset 4th Addition does not wish to have lots fronting on to Hack -
more Drive and subsequently retain the larger -sized lots, then
I would strongly recommend that the Council make it a condition
of this plat approval to pay a residential equivalent assessment
to the City which could be applied to any future costs associated
with the installation of streets and utilities when Hackmore Drive
is upgraded and connected to the recently completed street within
the Northview Meadows subdivision.
If this financial obligation is not a requirement of the final
plat, it will become the City's financial responsibility to pay
for one-half of the costs associated with the upgrading of streets
and utilities within Hackmore Drive when it occurs in the future.
This is due to the fact that we will be limited in the amount of
the costs that can be assessed on the property on the south side
to the benefit received from those improvements. Therefore, I
strongly recommend that the Council require this future obligation
of the subdivision to be paid now to cover the City's future finan-
cial responsibilities.
As an alternative, these lots could be split with adequate frontage
and square footage taking direct access from future streets and
utilities from Hackmore Drive. However, if this alternative is
approved, it would require the upgrading of Hackmore Drive at the
present time to provide these newly -created lots with standard
streets and utilities.
I would like to discuss the concerns of the Public Works Department
with the City Council in relationship to the elimination of the
recommendation as approved by the Planning Commission in hopes
that a satisfactory alternative can be agreed upon.

BURNSVILLE/EAGAN CABLE COMMISSION UPDATE
A. Burnsville/Eagan Cable Commission Update -- Since the Burns-
ville/Eagan Cable Commission has now completed four (4) regular
meetings in addition to considerable committee work, it seemed
appropriate to place this item on the agenda and allow City Council -
member Smith, who is Chairman of the Joint Commission, and City
Administrator Hedges to update the City Council on progress the
Commission is making to date. The City Council may want to review
minutes that have been provided with the last informative memo
to determine whether they have any questions that might be of
interest to the City Council for discussion purposes. The City
Administrator will provide a brief status report previous to any
discussion.

MNDOT COST PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #61824 (I-494)
B. Approve MnDot Cost Participation Agreement #61824 (I -494) -
As discussed under the public hearing for Project 349, the progres-
sion of I-494 to the east with its interchange with T.H. 14.9 results
in a relocation and upgrading of east and west Blue Gentian Road
to City standards. Due to the fact that these local streets require
cost participation from the City to accomplish this upgrading to
City standards, it is necessary for the City to enter into a cost
participation agreement with MnDot. The City's obligations under
this MnDot agreement have been reviewed in detail by the Public
Works Director and consulting engineer and found them to be in
accordance with standard policies for joint construction and cost
participation. The City's obligations associated with this cost
participation agreement have been taken into consideration and
addressed as a part of the feasibility report for Project 349.
Therefore, if the public hearing for Project 349 is closed and
the improvements ordered for installation earlier in the agenda,
it would be in order for the Council to approve this cost participa-
tion agreement providing for the City's financial obligation
associated with those improvements. •
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To pass/deny a resolution
approving Cost Participation Agreement #61824 authorizing the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute all related agreements and documents
providing for financial obligation of the City associated with
the upgrading of east and west Blue Gentian Roads as a part of
I-494.

MNDOT COST PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #61932 (I -35E
C. Approve MnDot Cost Participation Agreement 061932 (I -35E)
-- As it was discussed under Project 372 during the public hearing
earlier in the agenda, there are several street and utility
improvements associated with the progression of I -35E that become
the City's financial obligation. Subsequently, a cost participation
agreement has been prepared by MnDot delineating the City's
financial responsibilities associated with the upgrading of
these local improvements to City standards.
This agreement has been reviewed in detail by the Public Works
Director and consulting engineer and the financial responsibility
delineation has been found to be in accordance with present
policies for cooperative joint construction and cost participations.
All the improvements delineated in Project 372 presented under
the public hearing earlier on the agenda have been taken into
consideration in this agreement as it pertains to the City's
responsibilities.
If the public hearing for Project 372 is closed and the project
approved as presented, it would be in order for the Council
• to approve this cost participation agreement so that this work
can be performed cooperatively under a MnDot contract.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To pass/deny a resolution
approving MnDot Cost Participation Agreement #61932 and authorizing
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents and
agreements.
MNDOT COST PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #61933
D. Approve Dakota County Cost Participation Agreement (MnDot
Agreement #61933 - Diffley Road and Pilot Knob Road -- As a
part of the I -35E progression through the City of Eagan, certain
improvements will be performed cooperatively under a MnDot contract
for the upgrading of County 30 (Diffley Road) and County Road
31 (Pilot Knob Road). MnDot Agreement #61933 is a cost participa-
tion agreement between the State and the County due to the juris-
dictional authority of the county roads being approved under
a state contract. However, present City policy requires that
any improvements to county roads be the joint responsibility
of the County and the benefitted municipality on a 55/45 split
of costs for all road improvements and related appyrtenances.
Therefore, the County has prepared a cost participation agreement
between the County and the City delineating the City's share
of the costs associated with the County's responsibility as
• a part of MnDot's cost participation agreement.

All proposed improvements associated with this cost participation
agreement with the County have been taken into consideration
and included in the feasibility report for Project 372 presented
earlier on the agenda under public hearings. The Public Works
Director and consulting engineer have reviewed this cost participa-
tion agreement in detail and found it to be in conformance with
present policies of delineation of financial obligations between
jurisdictional agencies for related improvements.
Therefore, if the public hearing is closed and Project 372 ap-
proved earlier on the agenda under the public hearing items,
it would be appropriate for the Council to approve this cost
participation agreement between the City and the County.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve Dakota County

CONTRACT 84-1/LONE OAK ROAD-T.H. 55 WATERMAIN
E. Contract 84-1, Receive Bids/Award Contract (Lone Oak Road/T.H.
55 - Watermain) -- On November 15, 1983, the public hearing was
held and a project approved which consisted of three parts:
Part 1: Construction of trunk watermain along the west side
of T.H. 55/149 through the intersection of Lone Oak
Road and westerly extension within Lone Oak Road
from this intersection due to pending intersection
improvements by MnDot during 1984. The segment of
trunk watermain from Lone Oak Road southerly to the
extension of Apollo Drive was bid at a 24" -diameter
with an alternate bid requested for a 20" -diameter
trunk watermain for this segment. The City's consult-
ing engineer and Public Works Director will be evalu-
ating the cost benefit of reducing this watermain
size and will have the information available to the
Council for consideration of the alternate bid at
the meeting on February 21.
• Part 2: This consisted of relocation of hydrants and lowering/
insulating the existing watermain and relocating
fire hydrants along the west side of T.H. 149 by
General Coatings Inc. in anticipation of the future
frontage road to be constructed by MnDot during 1984.
Part 3: This involves the westerly extension of trunk water -
main facilities from Pilot Knob Road, at its inter-
section with Duckwood Drive, in anticipation of the
future upgrading by MnDot during 1984. This work
was not originally contained in the feasibility report
as it was anticipated to be performed under a MnDot
contract. Regardless, this work will be the full
responsibility of the trunk watermain with no related
assessments. As such, it was not necessary to have
it included in the original feasibility report.
However, because MnDot could not incorporate it in
their construction plans in a timely fashion, it
was determined to be in the City's best interest
to add this trunk related work under this contract
for bidding purposes.
Enclosed on page10 is a tabulation of the bids received at the
official bid opening held on February 16. Due to the necessity
of this project and the favorable bids received, the staff is recom-
mending that the Council receive the bids and award the contract
109

ation of accepting the alternate bids submitted.

CONTRACT 84-3/ALMQUIST LAKE LIFT STATION
F. Contract 84-3, Approve Plans/Authorize Advertisement for
Bids (Almquist Lake Lift Station) -- On January 17 a public
hearing was held for Project 393 providing for the installation
of a trunk storm sewer outlet for Almquist Lake. The public
hearing was closed and the project subsequently approved with
authorization being given for the preparation of detailed plans
and specifications. These plans have now been completed and
are being presented to the Council for their review, approval
and authorization to advertise for a bid opening. The consulting
engineer and Public Works Director will be available to discuss
the details of these plans with the Council at the meeting on
February 21.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/deny the plans
and specifications for Contract 84-3 (Almquist Lake Lift Station)
and, if approved, authorize the advertisement for a bid opening
to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 15, 1984.
CONTRACT 82-7/CINNAMON RIDGE 3RD ADDITION
• G. Contract 82-7, Final Payment/Acceptance - Cinnamon Ridge
3rd Addition (Streets & Utilities) -- We have received a request
for final payment for Contract 82-7 from our consulting engineering
firm along with a certification of compliance with the approved
plans and specifications which provided for the installation
of streets and utilities to service the Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition.
Taking into consideration the two change orders that modified
the original contract amount, the final construction costs came
in 2.58 below the original contract amount due to minor miscel-
laneous quantity underruns. All cost associated with this project
will be assessed against the development.
All final inspections have been witnessed and verified by represen-
tatives of the Public Works Department and it is now being recom-
mended that this project be formally accepted for perpetual
maintenance and that final payment be authorized to contractor.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the seventh
and final payment of $25,707.03 to Austin P. Keller Construction
Company for Contract 82-7 and accept the project for perpetual
maintenance.

1984 SEWER & WATER UTILITY USER RATES
H. Consideration of Sewer & Water Utility User Rates for 1984
As is customary on an annual basis, the Public Works Director had
the consulting engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik
and Associates, Inc. perform a study pertaining to sewer and water
utility user rates in relationship to expenses and required revenue
to maintain and provide sewer and water service for the City.
A review of the approved 1984 utility budget, combined with antici-
pated sales during 1984, resulted in this report conclusion and
recommendation that the sewer and water user rates not be increased
for 1984. A copy of this report is being forwarded to the Counci
under separate cover for their review, comment and reference during
consideration of this item.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the 1984 report
on sewer and water utility user rate study and approve/deny the
recommendation for no increase in rates during 1984.
TRUNK -RELATED ASSESSMENT RATES - 1984
I. Consideration of Trunk -Related Assessment Rates for 1984 -- •
In the past, the Public Work Director has had the consulting engi-
neering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, Inc.,
review the construction costs associated with completing our trunk
systems (sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer, and major streets)
and recommend appropriate rates to maintain the solvency of these
funds through the levying of trunk -related assessments (area,
lateral benefit, road user connection fees, street equivalent
assessments, etc.). In the past, this information was included
as an appendix to the annual sewer and water utility rate study.
However, the Director of Public Works felt that this information
should be expanded and addressed through a separate report for
separate action by the Council.
Therefore, forward to the Council under separate cover is a copy
of this report for their review, comments and reference during
consideration of this item on February 21. The results of this
report indicate that the trunk -related assessments should be
increased by an average of 5.08. It also established definitive
rates for a zoned -equivalent rate (residential, multiple, com-
mercial/industrial) to be used during the upgrading of major
streets.
The Public Works Director and consultant engineer will be available
to discuss this report in detail with the Council as they desire •
on February 21.

DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1984
SUBJECT: INFORMATIVE
COMMUNITY ROOM
The City has prepared a rather lengthy procedure for the use of
the Community Room located at the Fire Administration Building.
Scheduling the Community Room will be a function of Parks and
Recreation and if the City Council is interested in reviewing the
policy for use of the Community Room, please request and a copy
will be distributed for review. It is anticipated that the Com-
munity Room will be available within a month.
MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION UPDATE
Enclosed is a letter from Larkin, Hoffman, Daly and Lindgren law
firm that provides a summary of the representation agreement they
have entered into with the 14 cities. This letter provides a brief
analysis of how the law firm will work with the 14 cities and I
thought would be of interest to the City Council. The City Admin-
istrator is attending an all -day meeting on Friday, February 17,
along with City Administrators from the other 13 cities to work
on position papers with the lobbyist. The next regular meeting
of the joint commission is at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 23,
in the City of Roseville. Mayor Blomquist and the City Admin-
istrator, as the City's two delegates, will be attending. A copy
of the letter is found on pages 11 through 12 0 .
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT #196/EAGAN HIGH SCHOOL ISSUE
The City Administrator and Mayor Blomquist attended a school board
meeting that was held on Monday, February 13, 1984. Needless to
say, the meeting lasted from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. with Eagan
residents attempting to endure a long wait from 7:30 until 10:30
when the school facilities item was considered. Mayor Blomquist
and the City Administrator will discuss in more detail what trans-
pired at the school board meeting in a future workshop session.
Enclosed is a copy of a letter and resolution that was submitted
to the school board the night of the meeting. Mayor Blomquist
will more than likely be suggesting that this resolution be adopted
by the City Council as a matter of formal record. A copy of the
letter and resolution are enclosed on pages 1 Z i through iZ 4
SPERRY SEMI -CONDUCTOR OPERATIONS NOISE PROBLEM

before and after equipment is installed at the Sperry Semi -
Conductor facility. The City Attorney's office has been notified
of the action that was taken at the last City Council meeting con-
cerning legal direction if Sperry does not satisfy the noise
problems that are being alleged by the Timberline Addition. A
copy of a letter to Mr. Gustin and Mr. Nikolai from the City Admin-
istrator is enclosed on page Ia 15L- . Also enclosed are copies of
letters from Mr. Nikolai to David Kelso of MPCA and the Senior
Vice -President of the Sperry Semi -Conductor operations, Mr. David
Turcotte. These letters are enclosed on pages 1'2,(o through 110
Mr. Giblin and Mr. Nikolai have, since the last City Council
meeting, filed criminal complaints with the Police Department asking
that the noise problem be prosecuted as a public nuisance. The
complaint is being reviewed by the City Attorney.
RACE TRACK
Enclosed on page 1 11 is a copy of a letter received from the City
of Mendota Heights and also an page13 is a copy of a letter
received from the City of Sunfish Lake regarding their positions
on the proposed horse racing facility site in the City of Eagan.
This week, a statement was made by Ray Glumack on WCCO that would
appear to the average listener that MAC had problems with the horse •
racing facility being located under the preferential runway in
the City of Eagan. The statement about the race track came to
the attention of the City's applicant, Minnesota Jockey Club, Inc.,
and in an effort to clarify Mr. Glumack's statement a meeting was
held on Wednesday, February 15 in Mr. Glumack's office. The City
of Eagan was asked by Mr. Pflaum for representation at the meeting
and the City Administrator contacted City Councilmember Egan who
joined the Administrator at the meeting. To reduce an hour and
a half of dialogue to a few sentences is difficult but the main
outcome of the discussion was that Mr. Glumack made it extremely
clear that he is not an adversary of the Eagan horse racing site
or any site for that matter and was merely addressing a question
as to how the airport would regard any kind of land use that might
threaten continued alignment designation of the preferential runway.
Mr. Glumack responded by stating that the Metropolitan Airports
Commission would be very concerned about any use that would cause
any jeopardy to the preferential runway. The Minnesota Jockey
Club, Inc. presented a three-page easement that guarantees the
Metropolitan Airports Commission that they will provide permanent
air rights for the preferential runway over their horse racing
facility dismissing any public speculation that noise is a problem
for the horse track. It was made extremely clear by Mr. Glumack
that the MAC is not concerned about noise being a factor for the
.horse track; any noise concern for the horse track is a private
matter with the investors. This matter was cleared up and the
easement will be filed with the application. Since the recent •
i(s

Page 3
city council meeting held on February 7, 1984, in the City of
Mendota Heights has brought considerable news attention to the
race track located in the City of Eagan, I felt copies of articles
regarding that meeting might be of interest to the City Council.
Enclosed on pages 13 j through A-
are a cumber of copies of
articles that have appeared in 1 cal`—newpapers. Also enclosed
on pages L+4-14Sis a copy of a letter from the Inver Grove Heights
Development Corporation informing Mayor Blomquist that their corpor-
ation has endorsed the Eagan site and further that they're request-
ing a similar endorsement from mayors of cities in Dakota County.
WORKSHOP
The City Administrator is suggesting that the City Council have
a workshop session to address a number of miscellaneous items,
one of which should be a meeting with the History Committee. A
suggested date for that meeting is February 28 if the date is
acceptable to everyone's calendar. A formal agenda would be prepared
for the special workshop/City Council meeting; however, it is anti-
cipated there would be no formal action taken.
PROJECT 349, BLUE GENTIAN ROAD (Streets & Storm Sewer Improvements)
City Financing -- On page 5 of the feasibility report
for Project 349, the revenue sources to finance this project are
•
delineated in relationship to project cost and revenue receipt
from assessments. You will note that the resulting balance indi-
cates $178,544 will be the responsibility of "City and State" funds.
The report was prepared this way to show that the assessment revenue
as proposed under this project was not sufficient to cover the
cost of the improvements being performed.
However, through a cost participation agreement with MnDot, the
State will be participating in a portion of these construction
costs. Therefore, enclosed on pages( - is a subsequent summary
of revenue sources that was performed to show the relationship
of the MnDot cost participation in relationship to the project
cost and assessment revenue. As can be seen from this subsequent
summary, due to the significant cost participation on behalf of
MnDot combined with the proposed assessment revenues, this results
in a positive balance of $132,385 to the City's trunk storm sewer
fund and $260,861 to the City's major street fund.
This subsequent information is being forwarded to the Council to
show that the significant negative balance on page 5 of the feasi-
bility report does not imply that the City will be incurring a
financial burden to our trunk funds if this project is approved.
It also provides additional information to the Council in considera-
tion of any special assessment consideration requests that have
• been received.

Project 372, I -35E (Utility & Street Improvements) -- Financial
Revenue Review
The feasibility report that was prepared for Project 372 provided
a revenue source breakdown on pages 47 and 48 to show the relation-
ship between the cost of the project for various improvements, the
assessment revenue that would be generated from this project and
the resulting balance that would be the responsibility of "City
& State" funds. This resulting total balance indicated a negative
$846,767 deficit that would have to be financed through these city/
state funds. This information was presented this way to show that
the revenue being generated from assessments was less than the cost
of the overall project.
However, through a cost participation agreement with MnDOT, the
state and the county will be participating in some of these finan-
cial liabilities. Therefore, enclosed on pages /4-1 through /5Q
is a subsequent summary sheet of revenue sources which shows the
balance after taking into consideration the financial participation
of the state and the county. This summary sheet shows the actual
financial obligation of the City's trunk funds which range from
a negative balance of $103,930 to the trunk watermain fund to a •
#285,174 positive balance to the major street fund if all assess-
ments are levied as proposed under this project. It was felt that
this information would be beneficial to the Council in helping to
determine the benefit of this project in relationship to the or-
dering of this improvement.
The Public Works Director and Consulting Engineer can discuss this
financial analysis in further detail at the Council meeting if de-
sired by the Council.

I would like to take this opportunity to set forth a Representation
Agreement as indicated in a letter you received from Jim Erickson
dated February 1, 1984. That letter also contained our initial
retainer invoice in the amount of $7,500.
.Larkin, Hoffman, Daly 5 Lindgren, Ltd., is pleased and honored to
undertake representation of the Municipal Legislative Commission (MLC)
as special legislative and administrative counsel through June 30, 1984.
As you know, the firm has recently commenced work on this undertaking
following actions by the Municipal Legislative Commission in late
January and early February selecting the firm as special legislative:
and administrative counsel. The firm will undertake to represent
the Municipal Legislative Commission on issues of concern to members
of the Municipal Legislative Commission. It is anticipated that the
firm, will work with -'several different public bodies with jurisdiction
to consider these issues, including the legislature, state government
agencies, the Governor's office, the Metropolitan Council and its
related metropolitan agencies, and the newly -formed Minnesota Tax
Study Commission.
Robert G. Renner, Jr., and I have been assigned as attorneys with
•primary responsibility for this matter. We will call -upon the
services of other attorneys.in the firm who may have expertise or
knowledge'useful in successfully resolving a particular issue.

At this time, we anticipate that Robert L. Hoffman, James C. Erickson,
and Forrest D. (Dick) Nowlin will be actively involved. It is quite
likely that other attorneys in the firm will also be involved in this
representation. Ms. Deborah J. Grant, a legal assistant, will work
closely with the attorneys assigned.to this file.
The firm will undertake to monitor the activities of state and
metropolitan governmental bodies. The firm will act as the spokesman
for the Municipal Legislative Commission and its members.before state
and regional governmental agencies on issues of concern. We will
undertake to have adopted the policies and legislation consistent
with the goals of the Municipal Legislative Commission.- The firm
will provide regular updates, through written reports and meetings,
regarding issues of concern to the Municipal Legislative Commission.
We will coordinate the presentation of information, testimony, and
proposals to various. governmental bodies and work closely with members
of the Municipal Legislative Commission to develop the information and
policies to be presented to the governmental bodies. Other services
rendered will include legal analysis and drafting, attendance at
Ietings of -the legislature and other governmental bodies, conferences
th legislators, members of the' metropolitan agencies, staff, and
other appropriate officials.- Miscellaneous services will, include
telephone conferences, research, and review of documents and policy
papers.
The Lawyers' Professional Responsibility Board encourages attorneys to
fully explain fee arrangements and the scope of representation in order
to avoid misunderstandings. Therefore, I would like to address the
terms of the representation. The firm is undertaking the representa-
tion of the Municipal Legislative Commission, a new body formed under
a joint powers agreement entered into by 14 suburban municipalities.
In undertaking to represent the Municipal Legislative Commission, the
firm does not undertake representation of any of the municipalities
who are members of the Commission. As you are aware, the firm has
appeared before municipalities on behalf of private clients of the
firm. The firm will continue to appear before municipal bodies and
agencies who are members of the Municipal Legislative Commission on
behalf of private clients. We undertake representation of the
Municipal Legislative Commission with the understanding that continued
appearances before municipalities who are members of the Municipal
Legislative Commission do not present a conflict of interest.
As you also know, the firm is active in representing several other
clients before the Minnesota Legislature, state agencies, and
ietropolitan agencies. Should a situation arise where our repre-
ntation of another client conflicts with our representation of the
119
LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN. LTD.
•
Mr. James Lacina
February 8, 1984
Page Three
Municipal Legislative Commission, we will contact you immediately.
We will then meet with you and the other concerned client to explain
the nature of the conflict. Should it be impossible to resolve the
conflict to the satisfaction of all parties, we may be required
under the Code of Professional Responsibility to withdraw from
representation on the conflicting issue. However, we would be
able to continue to undertake representation of the Municipal
Legislative Commission and other clients on all other issues.
The fee for the representation will be a minimum -of $45,000,,plus
costs and expenses, and a maximum of $60,000, plus costs and
expenses. The Municipal Legislative Commission will receive an
invoice for $7,500 for each of the months of January, February,
March, April, May, and June. Costs and expenses, not to exceed
$500 per month without prior approval, will also be billed on the
invoices. All personnel providing services on this matter will
record their time which will be billed at a rate of $75 per hour.
In July, 1984, the Municipal Legislative Commission will receive a
anal billing for expenses and total services rendered in excess of
e $45,000 total of the regular monthly retainers. The firm
guarantees that the additional fees billed in July of 1984 will not
exceed $15,000, regardless of the total services the firm is called
upon to render through June 30, 1984. I have enclosed for your
information a copy of the firm's policy regarding payment of fees.
We are all very excited and honored to have been chosen by the
Municipal: Legislative Commission for this important task. We all
look forward to working closely with members of the commission and
achieving our objectives and goals. Thank you once again for the
confidence you have shown in the firm.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Forschler, for

Re: Resolution Requesting Information from Independent School
District 9196
Dear Beverly:
As mayor of the, fastest growing city in the State of Minnesota, I am
often contacted by residents of our community who reside in
Independent School District #196 concerning when construction will
commence for the Eagan High.School. Without a doubt, most residents
in our community who reside in ISD #196 believe a high school will
be constructed in the near future on property which was purchased
directly east of Northview Elementary School.
The City of Eagan is regarded within the Twin Cities metropolitan
area as the most viable community for growth and development in the
next several years. Our planning commission and city council
meetings are quite lengthy every month due to the number of new
residential plats that are creating lots for further housing unit
sites within the City. Most all of that growth will occur in the
thousands of acres undeveloped withing ISD #196.
Many residents who have asked about the time schedule for the com-
pletion of a high school in Eagan have also expressed their satis-
faction in the previous attitude'of the school board to decentralize
high schools within the district by spreading the enrollment to
three (3) high schools rather than concentrating a great number of
students in one or two high schools. It has been expressed to me
that the ability for students at the high school level to achieve in
their classwork and to participate in extracurricular activities is
more obtainable if the high school is designed for no greater than
2,000 students.

I certainly feel 'the school district as well as all cities within
ISD #196 must work together to achieve the best long range educa-
tional objectives for our present and future students. It is my
intention to work with the mayors and community leaders of the other
cities and do everything I can to support the continuation of this
philosophy in years to come. Therefore, I offer a resolution for
your consideration that my city council is aware of but has not had
an opportunity to formally adopt. This resolution is objective and
asks for the answers to basic questions based 'on -facts - from the
school administration and our own city administration for 'future
review by the school board.
n
U
We must not let our emotions, whether they are related to bigger and
better sports objectives, individual school recognition or whatever
the case, overshadow the educational philosophy of the school
district. Therefore, I submit this resolution and the time of our
staff and my personal effort with other communities to work on the
answers to these basic questions in a methodical and objective
fashion with the hopes .that a referendum can be scheduled for the •
fall of 1984 with the answers to these questions presented to
residents within our school district before the referendum.

RE: Sperry Semiconductor Noise Impact On the Timberline Residen-
tial Neighbor o0
Dear John and Tom:
In official action that was taken by the Eagan City Council
at a regular meeting held on Tuesday, February 7, 1984, the
City Attorney was directed to review a future course of action
with the Sperry Corporation if the level of noise emissions
are not lowered to an acceptable noise standard for the Timberline
neighborhood by April 1, 1984. The position of the City Attorney
regarding the directive to the City Council will be considered
at the April 3, 1984, City Council meeting if the noise emission
level is not satisfactorily resolved by that date.
Later in the City Council meeting I was directed by the City
Council to obtain a noise meter from a State agency and direct
a member of the City staff to establish several bench marks
between the Sperry and Timberline properties and conduct noise
readings. These noise readings will be conducted and recorded
at different times, including both daytime and nighttime hours,
and under a variety of atmospheric conditions. This information
will be available for City Council and public inspection at
the April 3, 1984, City Council meeting.
Tom, I am returning the original affidavit and exhibits to the
affidavit as you requested.
On behalf of the City Council, we are hopeful that measures
Sperry is taking will resolve the noise emission problems that
have been causing grief to the Timberline neighborhood. Any
questions you might have about the action course of the City
are welcome at any time.
Sincerely,

As I explained to you by phone yesterday, Sperry's new factory in Eagan is
emitting noise at a high level from its roof -mounted ventilator stacks and
this noise is making sleep difficult in our neighborhood. Sperry insists
that its emissions are within MPCA guidelines whereas, based upon sound
measurements I had taken, its noise emissions are far in excess of the
allowable levels.
I am enclosing a copy of the strip art data taken by Sperry's in-house
• people back in August 1983. It is the latest data that Sperry has made
available. Note that in taking these measurements, the noise sources
were turned on, one -at -a -time, and even then are only a shade below the
50 dBA limit provided by your regulations. The test which it took
apparently does not show the combined effect of having all of these noise
sources operational simultaneously.
•
Today, I learned that when Sperry went out for bids on the sound
abatement equipment, it advised potential bidders that the noise at one
exhaust stack was at 104 dB and that existing 300 meters away was 63-65
dB. We find that hard to reconcile with the information Sperry provided
to City authorities via the enclosed report.
I believe you have a copy of the Fulton affidavit which reflects the test
results which I undertook to have taken and which shows linear dB
readings in the range between 63 and 76 at a point just outside my
bedroom window.
Should it later become necessary to bring a lawsuit to abate the public
nuisance which Sperry is creating, we believe it would be helpful to have
the MPCA monitor the noise emissions and provide a report to the City of
Eagan, copies to our homeowner association and to Sperry reflecting your
findings.

• Mr. David Kelso

Also, since the City of Eagan has shown a reluctance to enforce its own
ordinances against a large corporate employer, if your monitoring reveals
violations of the MPCA noise level standards, we would appreciate any
assistance which your agency can provide as far as compelling compliance
is concerned.
1 and my neighbors stand ready to provide whatever information and
assistance may be necessary to conduct the monitoring operations. Sperry
is creating a nightmare situation in our neighborhood and we need help
immediately.

Dear Mr. Turcotte:
1 had hoped by this time to have had the opportunity to meet with you
concerning the noise pollution created by Sperry's Semiconductor Factory.
Bob Falstad, your Law Department attorney, indicated over a week ago
that he would have you call, but apparently he or you felt that this would
be unnecessary.
Since taking over as Vice President and General Manager of the
Semiconductor Operations, 1 don't know to what extent you have been
briefed on the intolerable situation your factory has created as far as your
• neighbors on the north are concerned or the remedial actions supposedly
undertaken in an attempt to cure the problem. Information provided to
me today makes it clear that the Sperry people who have been addressing
this problem have been acting in bad faith. Specifically, last summer
when the complaints started pouring in, Sperry personnel conducted
certain tests along the north property line and concluded, based upon
those tests, that the noise emissions were within the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency guidelines. Those tests proved to be incomplete and
inaccurate. Also, as it turns out, Sperry knew that those tests and the
representations being made with respect to them were false or
misleading.
L
Only after the Eagan City Council passed a resolution finding Sperry in
violation of the applicable zoning ordinance under which it is operating
did your people initiate any steps to correct the problem. Way last
October, while insisting that it was in compliance with applicable MPCA
regulations, it offered to put sound attenuating equipment on all of the
noise sources on the roof of your building. It later reneged on that
promise as well.
4 a
• Mr. David Turcotte
February 9, 1984
Page Two
Be that as it may, when it went out to obtain bids on an attenuator to be
placed on the basement ventilating stack, I have been informed that it
advised prospective bidders that the noise at the stack was at a level of
104 dB and that the noise level at the property line was 63-665 dB, values
far in excess of the MPCA guidelines and far in excess of the data earlier
provided to Eagan officials.
The Sperry representatives also indicated that a 19 -week lead-time would
be needed to design, procure and install the sound abatement equipment.
That estimate was made back in mid-October at the time that your people
were promising to equip all of the stacks with the attenutors.
Subsequently, the Sperry people decided unilaterally that only one
attenuator would be needed. It did not revise the lead-time downward in
any fashion, even though the project had been cut way back in scope.
On several occasions over the past months I called Mr. Michaud and
inquired whether the sound abatement equipment procurement was on
schedule. He assured me that it was. Then, at the City Council meeting
on February 7, he effectively asked for an additional 6 weeks beyond the
19 weeks originally projected.
• I found out today that the contract for obtaining the attenuator was let on
February 3, 1984, only two days before the City Council meeting. It was
also determined that the cost of the item in question was about $3,000.
The six diverters are estimated to cost an additional $500.00 each. Thus,
the total cost of the fix planned by Sperry is way less than $10,000.
•
It is almost obscene that a company of your size and stature would subject
the neighboring residents to the noise emissions you have when an
expenditure of such a nominal amount could have resolved the problem. I
think you should require an explanation from the personnel involved as to
why this matter has been allowed to drag on as long as it has and why a
still further six-week extension of time is needed to complete it.
I venture to say more has been spent by Sperry on meetings about this
problem than on the cost of the noise abatement installation itself.
The mendacity exhibited with respect to the testing and decibel readings
provided by Sperry to City representatives made it necessary for me to
hire a noise expert who undertook to take tests at my home only to verify
what Sperry knew all along, ix, that its noise emissions were well above
those permitted by the MPCA regulations. I think it is only fair that
Sperry reimburse me for that outlay.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
February 8, 1984
Metropolitan Council
300 Metro Square Building
St. Paul, Minnesota 55101
During the past month, there has been much discussion in Mendota
Heights about possible detrimental effects of the proposed Eagan race
track facility on residential areas of our community. In particular,
residents of the Friendly Hills subdivision, located approximately one
mile north of the site, have voiced concern that the race track would lead
to undesireable noise and traffic impacts on their neighborhood. At its
meeting of February 7, 1984, the Council was presented with a petition
signed by 547 persons, expressing their opposition to the racing facility.
In response, the City Council passed a motion to notify you that the
Council, in support of the majority of its residents living south of TH 110
and east of Lexington Avenue, cannot support the location of a racing facility
in Section 1 of the City of Eagan.
It is planned that a Council/resident informational meeting will be held
in the City of Mendota Heights in early March to review the Environmental
Impact Statement. Any further Council comments that may emanate from the
review and meeting will be forwarded to you for your timely consideration.

Eagan answers concerns T
about racetrack location
On Feb. 6, the Mendota Heights City t ouncil
received a four-page letter from Fagan Administrator
T%Hedge giving ap 'initial response" to concerns
about a proposed horse racing track in northeast
Fagan. The Mendota Heights council wrote Eagan
Jan. 18 at the request of citizens fearful that a track
would cause increased noise, traffic, crime and diver-
sion of aircraft over Mendota Heights.
Below aie excerpts from Hedges' letter.
On diversion of aircraft:
'The City Council has addressed this issue emphat-
ically by a resolution that no request for deviation of
flight path will be permitted by the City of Eagan ...
the developers have agreed with the Metropolitan Air-
ports Commission (MAC) to grant to MAC a so-called
air easement, which gives to MAC the right to fly air-
craft over the site, together with the right to cause
any noise attendant to the ordinary operation of such
aircraft The applicant has agreed with MAC that this
easement will be executed as a part of its application
to the Minnesota Racing Commission. From the point
of view of our staff, it is hard to conceive of a more
definitive resolution of the matter"
On noise from the track itself:
"The midpoint of the grandstand is located slightly
more than .66 miles due south of the Interstate 494
right -Of -way, and separated therefrom by a series of
low-lying hills. (The racetrack is to be built into a
natural bowl between a series of hills.) It Is the opin-
ion of our consultants that it is extremely unlikely
that an individual standing on the south border of the
494 right-of-way will be either able to see (at night) or
hear the racetrack ... and that it is inconceivable
there will be a noise impact from the track on resi-
dents living more than a half mile north of the 494
right -Of -way. -
On increased traffic on Dodd Road (Highway
149) and Delaware Avenue..
"Local roads are eNxvW to experience oaly minor
Increases in traffic Highway 149 north of In-,
terstate 494 will experience a 5 percent increase in?
traffic directly attributable to the racetrack ..'. Dela-1
ware Avenue will have a 7% percent increase in.traf-
fic as a result of the racetrack."
On increased crime:
"The Minnesota Jockey Club will be required to hire
its own security force consisting of fully trained and
certified warrant officers and fire safety person
nel... The Eagan Police and byre Departments con-
ducted extensive research on these sobjecty. Their .
opinions, as reported to the Eagan City Council, are i
that there does not appear to be an increased demand
for fire service from a racetrack, and there does not I
appear to be an increased demand on public safety,
officers with the possible exception of traffic control,
which will be handled by uniformed, off-duty officers
paid by the racing facility. There appears to be a very
modest amount of peripheral crime, at or below the
level that would be expected in a regional shopping
center."
On the representation of Mendota Heights' inter.
eats in the environmental impact statement done
on the site, expected this mouth:
"Please be assured that the analysis of the impacts
associated with the proposed land use development
(which includes the racetrack) is not at all limited to
the political jurisdiction of Eagan, but rather includes
the entire subregion (including Mendota Heights, Sun.
fish Lake and Inver Grove Heights)."

Decision on track .
site still pending
By DORIS KELLEHER '
The proposal of a race track at Eagan could be a case of "much adc
about nothing", according to Frank Svoboda of BRW Planners whc
have done the EA W (Environmental Assessment Worksheet) and the
scoping y Club sitc
development 5proposal and are worion for the Laukkaa king Minnesota g onthe E S (Environmental
Impact Statement).
Svoboda said although Eagan is a strong contender, Blaine and
Shakopee also have already gone through the EAW and other
preparations and are now working on the EIS. And, Woodbury and
Savage are beginning the necessary process.
Svoboda said that although certain aspects will not be addressed in
the EIS, they are looking at housing projections, public services and
the existing zoning in the surrounding communities.
His firm is also involved in the development of the site other than the
track which will include retail shops, off ice show room, and straight
'office space.
The track is proposed on 2344 acres. included within the.track
development will bea grandstand with initial seating capacity for 7,500
persons and full development seating for 15,000. Grandstand parking
would include 4.100 regular parking spaces with an additional 3,630
spaces to accommodate overflow parking.
Other facilities developed In conjunction with the race track will
include a combination administration/cafeteria building, receiving
barn for incoming horses, water stations, stables, maintenance yard,
exercise area and equipment building.
The track itself would be one to 1.75 miles in length with 6.5 furlong
chutes situated on the northwest and Southeast ends o! the oval track,
Anticipated cahstructron coats are $1f million. :+ -
If the Eagan site is chosen by the Minnesota Racing Commission as
the one to be developed as a race track in the Twin Cities Metro area,
construction would begin in 1984 with a scheduled completion date of
summer 1985, Svobada said.
The racing season would extend frot�i June 15 through Sept. 15 with
the events scheduled to take place five days of the week, normally
Wednesday through Sunday.

Proposed site in Eagan:
e track plan. spursac
By DORIS KELLEHER
The three areas most affected by
a race track in Eagan would be the
city of Eagan- itself, Mendota
Heights, Sunfish Lake and Inver
Grove Heights.
. Mayor Bill Saed of Inver Grove
Heights, indi££ated his city council
has continousfgsupporled the pro -
poral of a racetrack in Eagan.
"in fact we hoped N see it in the
city of Inver Grove Heights but we
had no appropriate site," Sued said.
He said he can see there will be
many benefits from the track such
as auxiliary businesses springing
up around it which will provide
additional employment.
"it will be a boon to Eagan and
some of it is bound to spill over into
Inver Grove Heights," the mayor
said.
Sunfish Lake mayor Duncan
Baird said he and his residents are
..very upset."
"We are planning to have a reso-
lution passed at the next council
eeting opposing the track in
agan. It violates all the plans for
northern Dakota County which was
to be a prime residential area. You
don't have this with a race track
WEST- Si PquL
ngxt door."
He indicated his city's citizens
are "tired of going to the mat but we
have an impeccable record for
being implacable in resistance."
He said the city was "hurt about h
losingthe highwaysuit" butwentas e
far as they could with it—to the
"Supreme Court".
"We now feel battered with air-
planes, race track and the proposed
highway," Baird said. b
He indicated that 82 percent of the d
planes go over Sunfish Lake and y
although they have tried to operate
through the noise abatement coun- a
cit they have had no luck.
"I am not sure what we will do
publicly or privately regarding the i
track," Baird said. "We were not
included in the EAW neither was t
Mendota Heights."
He said the city has requested fi
they be included in.the EIS. "If we
are not included there is one possi-
bility we could go to court and ask o
all operations be suspended until we
are included." c
Mendota Heights mayoi Bob t
Lockwood said his official opinion
was stated in the letter sent to the
Eagan mayor and council following
the Jan. 17 meeting when Friendly
IHills residents attended the council
meeting opposing the track at
Eagan.
The letter stated that about 90
people living in several neighbor-
oods located near the city's south-
rn boundary attended the council
meeting concerned about the pro-
posed race track.
"These residents asked the coun-
cil to take action to oppose the track
ut the council declined after due
eliberation and instead voted that
ou be advised of the issues that do
pose a concern for both residents
nd council members," the letter
continued.
The areas of concern are: rezon-
ng or pressure for changing land
issues between Friendly Hills and
he proposed track; public safety—
the need for additional police and
re protection as well as increased
crime in the area surrounding the

that air traffic will be diverted
northerly of the existing flight cor-

It was acknowledged the EIS
would address some of these con-
cerns, the letter stated, as related to
the site in Eagan. But residents
concerned it the EIS addresses
these concerns as they affect the
area beyond the Eagan limits. .
It was specifically requested the

formation addressing the above is-
sues as they affect Mendota Heights
and the immediate area, the letter

Mendota Heights

I By Beth Gauper '

A resolute crowd of Mendota
Heights residents got its wish las
week, as the Mendota Heights Cit
Council agreed to formally
a proposed horse -raring track
Eagan.
Confronted by the crowd and
petition signed by 7 percent of the
city's population, the council voted
3-1 to send letters registering i
opposition to the track to Eagan

he thought the track would disrupt

Staff Writer
Tiny Sunfish Lake, long frustrat-
ed in its fight against Interstate
494, has entered a new fray on its
southwest frontier.
The Sunfish Lake Council voted
4-0 last week against the proposed
borne -racing track site in north-
west Fagan, becoming the first
city council to formally oppose one
of the eight proposed track sites.
'Sunfish Lake was joined a day lat-
er by Mendota Heights, in which
the council, by a vote of 3-1 with
one abstention, decided to register
its opposition to the Fagan site
Sunfish Lake Mayor Duncan
Baird said he had known as early
as but slimmer that the site was.
nearby, but did nothing until he
heard Mendota Heights residents
had mobilized egg it. Fagan, he
said, "is a very large community
with a lot of muscle."
"rd been very coacemed about
it "._gaird said. "Sadd 1 It oe-
ot>rred to me I aaeo't,alone any-
-more.'
Despite his concern, Baird did
financing for the track. "I muffed
the ball," he said.
A racetrack, Baird said, would
have
SIV adverse impact"
on Sunfish Lake, a 1% -square -
mile, semi -rural community of ex-
pensive homes at Eagan's north-
east tip.
'"lois whole area Is designed to
be a high-class bedroom area, and
to put a racetrack in the middle of
it is bad news," he said. "Generally
you get a bunch of things that are
not desirable. When you live in an
area like this and people are flock-
ing all over, the results are inevita-
ble. They'll be poking down our
driveways, picnicking on our
lawns,. and throwing garbage
around. Do we want a whorehouse
across the street?"
Sunfish Lake will be separated
from Eagan by I494 and from the
site itself by one-half mile, but cars
will still have access from Dela-
ware Avenue and South Hobert.
'However, says MoM traffic en-
meer Michael Robinson, "With a

Still, Baird said, the track would
threaten the existence of his care-

"One of the things that's hard for
people to realize is our budget over
the years has ranged from $70,000
to $90,000 a year, and 25 percent of
that we spend on planning," Baird
said. "We paid for and filed a com-
prehensive plan, having said this is
bow we're going to be, and it's ac-
cepted by the Metropolitan Coun-
cil Then we get this kind of thing.
We don't have all the resources in

"I expect them all (to be submitted)

said.
"It probably is going totake us 45

There are three or four other obsta-

nor modifications were made at
the suggestion of state hearing ex-
aminers.
The commission also received a
county fair racing request from the
Traverse County Racing Commis-
sion based in Wheaton.
James Schoenrock, chairman of
the group, said that the fair would
like to have five days of thorough-
bred and quarterhorse races begin-
ning next year. He said the group is
ready to spend $50,000 to upgrade
its horse barns and track for pari-
mutuel racing.
Eliot advised the group that It
may have to spend more money
than that to provide secure stables, j
fencin and proper betting facili-
ties. The commission intends to li-
cense county fair races after the
Twin Cities track license is issued.

Mayor Bea Blomquist

Eagan, Minnesota 55122
Dear Mayor Blomquist:
Our Development Corporation has followed the Horse Racing
Facility issue with a great deal of interest. Recently,
the Board endorsed the Eagan site.
In addition, the Board requested that a notice of this
action be sent to the Mayors of area communities, along
with a request that similar action to considered by those
communities.
Copies of the letters to those Mayors are enclosed, along
with a copy of the accompanying resolution.
If you feel there is any additional work that we could do,
please don't hesitate to let us know.
Sincerely,
�{,f fcdJ4�

• The Inver Grove Heights Development Corporation has evaluated the pro-
posed sites for the Twin Cities Horse Racing facility, and supports the
site proposed for the City of Eagan.
The Development Corporation believes that with the completion of I-494
and the reconstruction of Minnesota 49, and with the transportation network
formed by other highways in the vicinity, the Eagan site is the most access-
ible one to the horse racing facility's primary and secondary markets.
Furthermore, its accessibility to the Twin Cities Metropolitan Airport pro-
vides an additional convenience for non -local owners, breeders, trainers,
and fans.
Additionally, the rural nature of Dakota County, the excellent local
transportation network in the county, and the availability of land for
small acreage farms, combine to offer facilities and amenities that will
encourage and foster the horse -breeding industry.
The Development Corporation further believes that the project propon-
ents have prepared a development plan that addresses the health and safety
concerns of the public, the comfort requirements of racing patrons and
participants, and the financing requirements of the investment community.
The inclusion in the development plan of sites that will adequately accom-
modate the supporting commercial services needed by the public is an in-
telligent land use decision that will be instrumental in preventing future
congestion.
• Finally, the Development Corporation views the Project Review Procedures
conducted by the City of Eagan, and the city's subsequent approval of all
aspects of the proposal, as evidence of both a thorough examination of the
project's potential impacts, and of enthusiastic citizen support for the
project. The citizens and officials of the City of Eagan are commended
for their thorough and expeditious review of the proposal.
0
For those reasons, as well as because of the projected new employment
and additional taxable valuation which the horse racing facility will gen-
erate, the Inver Grove Heights Development Corporation supports the Eagan
site, urges the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Racing Commission
to designate it as the Twin Cities' Horse Racing Facility, and urges the
City of Inver Grove Heights to consider action supporting the Eagan pro-
posal.

Enclosed herewith please find the cost participation associated with the above
referenced project as it relates to State Project 1985-76 (T.M. 494-393).
• The City cost participation based on the Schedule I'dated September.26, 1983
does not include increasing the GE for West Blue Gentian to 20. Recent phone
conversations with Mn/DOT indicate the City share would increase by $19,000
while the actual construction cost would increase $64,000. Due to time con-
straint associated with bidding S.P. 1985-76, the GE increase will be accomp-
lished with a supplemental agreement after the bid date. A summary of the
City cost participation for S.P. 1985-76 is summarized below:
CITY PARTICIPATION
Schedule I, 9-26-83 $25,105.21
GE 20 West Blue Gentian Road 19,000.00
Sub -Total $44,105.21
+ 4.31% Mobilization, Field Office, Traffic Control, Etc. 1,901.50,
Sub -Total $46,006.71
8% Construction Engineering 3,680.54
TOTAL CITY .................... $49,687.24
is
Therefore it is assumed that Mn/DOT portion will be the project cost for
street less the City participation ($429,390 - $49,687.24 = $379,700) as
shown on the Summary for Revenue Sources.

spection Department. The City authorized the purchase of a 1984
one-half ton pickup (F100) in the amount of $8,916 from Southview
Chevrolet. The department's budget for equipment certificates in
1983 has been considered at $10,500, and due to a price break, the
equipment, according to specifications, was purchased at the $8,916
figure. This equipment has been delivered and is being used pri-
marily by the Assistant Building Inspector/Fire Marshal. The Chief
Building Inspector anticipated replacement for the 1975 Ford F100
pickup that has been used by the Fire Marshal. This unit is experi-
encing a number of mechanical problems as well as body problems
and should be considered for replacement. The Building Inspector
had anticipated the replacement this year and requested $10,500
in the operating budget for 1984 which was omitted by the City Coun-
cil with the understanding it would be later considered as a possi-

ble equipment certificate. The City Administrator addressed the
City Council at the January 18 City Council meeting and was advised
to contact Peoples Natural Gas Company and any other users of the
small compact pickups to determine whether these pickups are proving
to be more efficient than the full size pickups for performance,
longevity and resale. The Chief Building Inspector has made a com-
parison of the compact pickups and standard pickups and a copy of
his response is found on page -3.. The Chief Building Inspector
has also had the 1975 For assessed by the maintenance garage and
the repair work that is needed is estimated at approximately $1,000
with no consideration for labor. Currently, that pickup is not
being used due to a break in transmission problem. Enclosed on
pages through E_ is a copy of a memorandum from Chief Buil-
ding Inspector Peterson to the City Administrator reviewing the •
equipment problems.
Because the Inspection Department is working primarily in new sub-
divisions and often streets and driveways are in a rough preliminary
grade status, the P100 has proven to be very efficient as a vehicle
for those conditions. The analysis between a full size vehicle
and compact is brief and a more comprehensive study can be made
if the City Council so desires. If the City Council desires to
purchase a second half -ton pickup, Southview Chevrolet will recog-
nize the $8916 bid for a 1984 heavy duty half -ton pickup cr-pati:ole
with the pickup purchased in December 1983. This equipment would
be purchased from equipment. c:crtificates in 1984.
For City Council reference, the other vehicle that is used in the
Building Inspection Department is a used police Citation which the
Chief Building Inspector uses for meetings, inspections and general •
use within the department. The mechanical and electrical inspectors
are paid as consultants and therefore use their own vehicles. The
new plan check personnel to be hired by the City will perform most
of his or her work in City Hall and would utilize, for the present,
the Citation jointly with the Chief Building Inspector.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny authoriza-
tion to purchase an F100 half -ton pickup in the amount of $8,916
from Southview Chevrolet as an authorized expenditure under 1984
equipment certificates.

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: DALE PETERSON, CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIA
RE: COMPARISON OF COMPACT PICKUPS AND STANDARD PICKUPS
FOR DEPARTMENT USE
I have discussed American made compact pickups with Peoples
Natural Gas, Eagan Public Works and shop mechanics at two
dealerships. I also have studied the U.S. Department of
Energy's 1984 EPA fuel economy estimates.
The Chevrolet GMC and Ford compacts with six cylinder engines
and automatic transmission have provided their owners with a
fuel consumption of 19 - 22 miles per gallon and maintenance
costs were good and somewhat less than the standard pickup.
• Standard pickups by the same manufacturers with the same equip-
ment, bought with a 300 - 310 cubic inch V8 engine, averaged
13 - 17 miles per gallon and the base price was $300 to $500
more. Peoples Natural Gas reported that their experience with
compact pickups manufactured outside the United States have
proved unsatisfactory and American made are satisfactory for
ordinary uses. All of the operators and mechanicss were doubt-
ful though that the compacts would be feasible for the amount
of off -,street use demanded by the department because of the
lower ground clearances and the difference of the material
strength used in the full-size pickups. It also is unknown
whether or not the compact pickups will give the five-year
service necessary for long term efficiency and economy. Most
of the reports that I have been checking have been in generalities,
but if you need specifics, I will attempt to get them for you.
• I will request quotations immediately upon receipt of your answer
on which type of unit the department should purchase.

RE: UNIT #501, 1975 FORD
The manual three -speed transmission of Unit 501 failed on or about
January 18. This was in addition to the already dangerous brakes.
We had hoped to keep it operating as it was the most feasible one •
to use until the replacement for 502 was authorized.
Bill Branch, Superintendent of Public Works, prepared a repair estimate
on 501 for me in hopes it would be economically feasible to make it last
for a few more miles. The resulting estimate using almost all in-house
labor was $917. aryl that was to do the minim= repairs as required by
law.
I
I have enclosed Bill's cost breakdown for your use. It would be unfair
for the inspectors to use their own cars as the City's 200 per, mile car
allowance is about one-half of the actual cost to operate their wm vehicle.
Thank you for your consideration of this problem.

Agenda Information Memo
February 21, 1984 City Council Meeting
Page Three
There are six (6) items on the agenda referred to as the Consent
Agenda requiring one (1) motion by the City Council. If the City
Council desires to discuss any of the items in further detail, those
items should be removed from the Consent Agenda and placed under
Additional Items unless the discussion required is brief.
PERSONNEL ITEMS
A. Personnel Items -- There are two (2) personnel items for consi-
deration.
• 1. The City has been able to obtain a level' one custodian
through the Minnesota Emergency Employment Development
Act (MEED) for six months at a rate of compensation of
$4.00 per hour. There is no expense to the City of Eagan.
The person is Jeff McGuffee. Mr. McGuffee is our park
foreman's, Jim McGuffee, brother. Mr. McGuffee will not
be working under any supervision or at any time with his
brother. Since the position is not a full-time position
with the City and is being sponsored through the MEED pro-
gram, there is no conflict with our existing personnel
policy.
2. The City has budgeted, in the Police Department budget,
effective March 1, 1984, the hiring of a full-time police
officer. Chief of Police Berthe is recommending that
Steven Grimm, who is currently a cadet with the Eagan
• Police Department, be appointed by the City Council as
a full-time officer. Mr. Grimm has completed all of his
schooling and P.O.S.T. requirements to become a licensed
police officer in the State of Minnesota.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the hiring of
Mr. McGuffee under the MEED program and Mr. Grimm as a new patrol
officer to be effective March 1, 1984.
MEED AGREEMENT
B. MEED Agreement -- Dakota County has forwarded to the City for
execution the form MEED agreement covering the employment by the
City of Eagan of persons under the MEED program. Presently, there
are four such employees. These include Annette Kinstler in Adminis-
tration, John Bergstrom in Protective Inspections, James Strum in
Parks & Recreation and Jeff McGuffee in General Government Buil-
dings.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To authorize the Mayor and
City Clerk to execute the MEED agreement.

CONTRACT 82-7/CHANGE ORDER #2
C. Contract 82-7, change Order #2, Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition
(Streets s Utilities) -- Change Order #2 for this contract consists
of three parts:
A. Prior to the completion of the street surfacing in the
third addition, the developer had not completed his overall
site grading. Subsequently, in order to complete the
grading on the north end of the project, it was necessary
that the material be moved over the partially completed
street construction. It was agreed that this development
would be responsible for any subsequent damage to the road
bed caused by this dirt moving operation. (Add $4,713.08.) •
B. The contract proposal inadvertantly omitted a requested
bid item to complete the storm sewer system as designed
within the approved plans. Subsequently, this work was
performed on a time and material basis. (Add $662.35.)
C. During the site grading and excavation work by the develo-
per, the developer buried his tree removal and miscellane-
ous debris along the alignment of the proposed storm sewer
which resulted in extra costs to correct the pipe bedding
for the storm sewer. Due to the fact that this tree and
debris burial was unauthorized within the City easement,
the developer is responsible for the costs incurred by
the City's contractor. (Add $1,561.54.)
All costs associated with this change order will become the respon-
sibility of the development and included in the final assessment •
figures. The total increase for Change Order #2 to be added to
Contract #82-7 is $6,936.97.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve Change Order #2
to Contract 82-7 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
all related documents.

D. Project 394, Receive Feasibility Report/Order Plans & Specifi-
cations (Yankee Doodle Reservoir - Repainting) -- The approved 1984
utility budget provided for the repainting of the Yankee Doodle
Road 5.0 M.G. water reservoir. This reservoir has not been re-
painted since its construction in 1971. Subsequently, the Public
Works Director requested that a feasibility report be prepared and
it is now being presented to the Council, a copy is enclosed on

the fact that there are no assessments associated with this project
and that the funding has been provided for in the 1984 utility bud-
get', no public hearing is necessary. Therefore, the Public Works
• Director is requesting authorization from the City Council to pre-
pare detailed plans and specifications which will be reviewed by
the Council in further detail during March.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the feasibility
report for Project 394 (Yankee Doodle Reservoir Repainting) and
approve the preparation of detailed plans and specifications for

SCOPE: This project provides for the repainting of the exterior of the 5.0
million gallon water reservoir. This reservoir is located along Yankee Doodle
Road, just west of State Highway 149.
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The subject project is feasible from an en—
gineering standpoint. It is most effectively bid as a single project.
DISCUSSION: The 5.0 M.G. Yankee Doodle Road water reservoir was constructed
and originally painted in 1971. The reservoir has not yet been repainted.
In 1980, this reservoir was completed drained and thoroughly inspected.
• This inspection indicated deterioration of the exterior surface painting. The
interior paint system, however, had not yet deteriorated to any significant
degree. Tiny paint blisters were evident, but no peeling or flaking of the
existing paint system had occurred.
Our recent inspection of this reservoir site confirmed that the exterior
paint coating has significantly deteriorated. Among the more noticeable signs
of this situation is a large amount of rust formation on the relatively flat
tank roof, and rock chips and carved graffiti on the sides. The coating on
the tank interior as observed from the manhole in the top appears to still be
• in quite good condition.
It is recommended that only the exterior tank coating be replaced with
this project.
In light of the relatively good condition of the tank interior coating and
the continued use of an effective cathodic protection system which minimizes
corrosion, it is believed that significant additional life is attainable from
the existing interior coating.
Page 1.
9249b
We do recommend, however, that the interior be inspected annually to de-
termine when recoating will be required. Recoating will probably. be required
in another 3 to 5 years.
The original tank exterior coating system was a Tnemec No. 77 Chem -Prime
metal primer followed by two coats of Tnemec Exterior Tnemec-Gloss Enamel.
The total dry paint thickness was checked and found to range from 4 - 6 mils.
The total thickness averaged just slightly over 4 mils.
Due to the severly deteriorated condition of the existing coating, it is
recommended that the entire exterior tank surface be given a commercial sand
blast cleaning to remove the present coating system and prepare the surface •
for proper paint application and adherance.
It is further proposed that a new coating system consisting of two epoxy -
polyimide prime coats followed by a finish coat of an aliphatic polyurethane
enamel be applied to the tank exterior. This proposed paint system is superi-
or to the existing paint system. It is designed to provide high resistance to
abrasion and corrosion, to provide long-term retention of initial color and
gloss, and, to provide easy removal of graffiti. This is the same exterior
paint system as that used on both the 2.0 M.G. Cliff Road reservoir and tho
4.0. M.G. Safari Pass reservoir.
Currently, the City name "Eagan" is not painted on this reservoir. Prior
to development of the repainting project specifications, it is recommended
that the Eagan City Council determine whether it wishes to have "Eagan'
painted on the reservoir as part of this project.
Relative to project scheduling, this reservoir repainting was originally
planned for the 1983 construction season. It was moved back to the 1984 con-
struction season to allow the new 4.0 M.G. Safari Pass reservoir to effective -
Page 2.
9249b
f2
ly increase Eagan's total water storage capacity and to minimize, as much as
possible, the impact of taking the 5.0 M.G. reservoir out of service for the
repainting period.
The timing of this project within the construction season is very criti—
cal. It is essential that this water reservoir be operational during the hot,
dry months in which water usage is greatest. Therefore, it is recommended
that the project commence as early in spring as weather permits, and that the
project completion date be set at June 15, 1984. It is also recommended that
• = substantial liquidated damages be specified to ensure chat this project is ex—
pedited.
COST ESTIMATE: The project costs are included below. It is anticipated that
this project would be bid on a lump sum basis.
Exterior Sand Blasting and Repainting $42,000
+ 5% Contingency 2,100
$44,100
+ 27% Legal, Engr., Admin. b Bond Interest 11.900
ESTIMATED PROJECT COST ................ $56,000
• - The estimated project cost includes 5% contingencies and 27% for
legal, engineering, administration and bond interest.
ASSESSMENTS: It is assumed that no assessments will be levied for this proj—
ect as it is an expected periodic maintenance item of the water storage system.
REVENUE: It is assumed that the entire cost of this project will be covered
by the water system renewal and replacement fund.

PROJECT 349/BLUE GENTIAN ROAD
A. Project 349, Blue Gentian Road (Streets -Storm Sewer) -- During
1983, MnDOT started finalizing the construction plans for the
easterly extension of I-494 and its interchange with T.H. 149 (Old
Dodd Road). Due to the configuration of this interchange, it was
necessary to relocate Blue Gentian Road further to the south. Sub-
sequently, segments of West Blue Gentian Road and East Blue Gentian
Road will be upgraded to City standards. Subsequently, the City
Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility report to dis-
cuss the benefits associated with the relocation and upgrading of
• East and West Blue Gentian Roads.
On January 17, the City Council formally received the feasibility
report for Project 349 and scheduled the public hearing to be held
on February 21. Enclosed on pages j9 -3S is a copy of the feasi-
bility report for your reference during the public hearing.
All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent
to all property owners who would be affected by this proposed im-
provement.
With the tight time frame associated with the progression of I-494,
It is important that this project be approved or denied on February
21 so that MnDOT can proceed with the advertisement for bids and
subsequent contract award during March.
• The Director of Public Works and Consulting Engineer will be availa-
ble to discuss the details associated with this project at the pub-
lic hearing.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To close the public hearing
and approve or deny Project 349 (Blue Gentian Road - Streets & Storm
Sewer).

SCOPE: This project provides for the construction of storm sewer and street
for Blue Gentian Road at T.H. No. 149. Improvements associated with Blue
Gentian Road are separated into that portion west and east of T.N. No. 149.
Improvements presented herein will be constructed by Mn/DOT as part of I-494
at T.H. No. 149 State Project No. 1985-76 (T.H. 494 = 393).
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The project described in this report is
feasible as it relates to engineering matters and is in accordance with the
•
Master Utility and
Streets Plans for the City
of Eagan.
The project as out-
lined herein will
be constructed by Mn/DOT
as part
of State Project No.
1985-76 (T.H. 499 = 393).
DISCUSSION:
STORM SEWER: Storm sewer improvements presented herein are separated into
storm sewer constructed as part of West Blue Gentian Road and East Blue
Gentian Road. Storm sewer included in East Blue Gentian Road consists of two
separate lateral systems as shown on the drawing located at the back of this
• report. Both storm sewer systems ultimately discharge into storm sewer pipe
included in I-494. ,Storm sewer pipe for this portion range in size from 12"
to 24" in diameter.
Storm sewer included within West Blue Gentian Road consists of two sep-
arate lateral storm sewer systems as shown on the attached drawing located at
the back of this report. The easterly storm sewer segment discharges to Pond
FP -1. The westerly storm sewer segment discharges directly into a Mn/DOT pond
located adjacent to I-494. Storm sewer pipe for this portion range in size
from 12 inch to 36 inch in diameter.

STREET: Street improvements presented herein are also separated into that
portion of Blue -Gentian Road constructed west and east of T.H. No. 149. East
Blue Gentian Road includes 2,187 feet of street constructed east of T.H. No.
149 as shown on the attached drawing. East Blue Gentian Road is a 32 feet
wide street constructed to a residential design thickness with bituminous sur-
facing and concrete curb and gutter. Due to the alignment of East Blue
Gentian Road being shifted southerly from the present alignment due to I-494,
a significant amount of tree removal and grading is required.
West Blue Gentian Road includes 3,241 feet of street constructed west of
T.H. No. 149 as shown on the attached drawing. West Blue Gentian Road is a 44 •
feet wide street constructed to a commercial design thickness with bituminous
surfacing and concrete curb and gutter. West Blue Gentian Road is being rough
graded as part of the RES Grading Permit 4ER02-082. Therefore, no construc-
tion is included for grading or subgrade correction as part of this project:

The total estimated coat for this project is $621,480 which includes con-
tingencies and all related overhead. Overhead costs are estimated at 27% and
include legal, engineering, administration, and bond interest.
ASSESSMENTS: Assessments are proposed to be assessed against the benefited
property along Blue Gentian Road. A preliminary assessment roll is included
in Appendix A located at the back of this report.
STORM SEWER: One half the cost of the lateral storm sewer included in
East Blue Gentian Road will be assessed on a front
foot basis
to the benefited
•
property located on the south side. The rate per
front foot
is determined by
dividing the total storm sewer amount in half and dividing that amount by the
assessable footage. The remaining cost (one-half) of the lateral storm sewer
will be the responsibility of Mn/DOT which has all of the abutting frontage on
the north side.
It is proposed the lateral storm sewer cost for West Blue Gentian Road
will be assessed on a front foot basis to the benefiting property on both
sides. Trunk storm sewer costs which includes storm sewer larger than 24 inch
in diameter will not be assessed, but will be the responsibility of the City •
trunk fund.
STREET: For East Blue Gentian Road, it is proposed to assess the benefit
from these street improvements to the adjacent property on the south side at
a residential equivalent rate. The residential equivalent rate assumes only
that amount of grading necessary to construct the street to the residential
design thickness. It is assumed the remaining amount required for grading
will be the responsibility of City and State funds. Calculations relating to
the residential equivalent rate are presented in Appendix A.

In accordance with. Special Assessment Policy #82-5, it is proposed to
assess the benefiting property for street improvements for West Blue Gentian
Road at the commercial/ industrial equivalent rate. This commercial/industrial
assessment rate per front foot is determined by dividing the total project
cost by the assessable footage.
Assessment rates presented herein will be revised based on final project
costs for the commercial/industrial rate for West Blue Gentian Road and bid
unit prices as they relate to the residential equivalent rate for East Blue
Gentian Road.

PROJECT 372/I -35E STREETS & UTILITIES
B. Project 372, I -35E (Streets 8 Utilities) -- During the past
several years, as the progression of I -35E through the City of Eagan
became more of a reality, the Public Works Director and Consulting
Engineer worked very closely with MnDOT to evaluate the impact of
this interstate through our community in relationship to relocation
of existing and construction of future streets and utilities. As
MnDOT's plans became more finalized, the City and the Consulting
Engineering firm were able to evaluate the needs for streets and
utility installation and subsequent benefit derived from adjacent
properties.
• Subsequently, a detailed feasibility report was prepared incorpora-
ting all proposed improvements associated with I -35E from Diffley
Road to just south of the Lone Oak Road interchange. Due to the
length of this 75 -page report, it is enclosed in your packets as
a separate document without page numbers for use during the public
hearing.
All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent
to property owners who would be assessed for the benefits received
from the improvements associated with this project. It is proposed
that all construction associated with this project would be per-
formed by MnDOT under a cost participation agreement. Due to the
tight time schedules associated with the construction of this sec-
tion of I -35E, it becomes important for the Council to take action
on this project at the public hearing on February 21 so that MnDOT
can proceed with the advertisement for bids for a contract award
in March of 1984.
• Enclosed on pages 3 % through 3 is a letter received from
Leo Murphy concerning this agenda item.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To close the public hearing
and approve, deny or modify Project 372 for the installation of
streets and utilities associated with I -35E.

CITY CODE UPDATE
A. City Code Update -- The original ordinance codification
was adopted effective January 1, 1983, when the first City Code
was formally implemented for the City of Eagan. Because of
legislative changes that occurred in 1983, the adoption of new
City legislation (ordinances) and a proposal to amend or adopt
new legislative ordinances,the City Administrator proposed an update
of the City Code. Upon City Council authorization the City staff,
specifically the City Administrator, Director of Finance, and Admin-
istrative Assistant in charge of the City Clerk Division of Finance,
have met with the City Attorney's office and Mr. Roger Jensen to
review all chapters of the City Code and discuss Minnesota legisla-
tive changes, City ordinance changes, and proposed City legislation.
• Mr. Jensen has codified all the revisions for the City Code which
includes all the changes that would occur for a reason referenced
above. The City Administrator has attempted to recognize the intent
of the City Council by keeping any and all ordinance amendments
that may attract a significant change in public policy out of the
ordinance codification. Those ordinances must be reviewed and
adopted as a separate agenda item and if approved, would be incor-
porated in a future City Code revision. Enclosed is a copy of
a memorandum from Roger Jensen'soffice to the City that incorporates
all the changes as previously discussed. The City staff will have
a final meeting to review all the City Code revisions as proposed
and any final changes will be shared with the City Council before
any action on Tuesday.
If there are any sections of the City Code revisions that the City
Council would like additional information or discussion on, they
could be further evaluated at a future workshop or City Council
• meeting. However, generally speaking, most of these changes either
incorporate previous City Council action, action by the Minnesota
Legislature or an intent by the City Council to incorporate some
changes to the City Code. A copy of those City Code revisions
are enclosed on pages A0 through_ for your review.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the City
Code revisions as presented by the City's codifier, Mr. Roger
Jensen of Municipal Codifiers Inc.

REVISION MEMO - EAGAN
February 13, 1984
TO: Liz Witt, Administrative Staff
FROM: Lorraine E. O'Reilly, Codifier
RE: 1984 City Code Revisions
We herewith hand you ordinances amending Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9,
10, 11 and 13 of the City Code. You will note that we have assigned
numbers to these ordinances beginning with Ordinance No. 6 (which
number had been assigned to a proposed ordinance but never adopted).
Since Ordinance No. 10, 2nd Series was adopted and published, we have
skipped that number and picked up with No. 11.
• The enclosed ordinances, together with the covering memo, should be
reviewed by the City Administrator, the City Attorney, and other City
staff as to their specific areas. If approved as drafted, the
ordinances should then be submitted to the Council. After the
ordinances have been adopted and published, please forward published
copies to our office so that we are aware of any changes which have
been made in the City's review. The revision pages will then' be
prepared by our office for insertion in the Code.
CHAPTER 1
Section 1.02, Subd. 13, has been amended to increase the penalty for a
misdemeanor from $500.00 to $700.00 in accordance with the statute.
CHAPTER 7
•Ordinance No. 10, 2nd Series, will be incorporated into the Code in
preparing the revision pages.
CHAPTER 3
Subdivision 1 of Sec. 3.05 has been amended as requested, but the
requirement for "written" permission has been retained in Subd. 7,
Subparagrah B, as requested. No change has been made in Sec. 3.20,
Subd. 1, as to shutting off water service due to delinquency since
this is covered in the general provisions of Sec. 3.05, but Subdivi-
sions 4, 9 and 10 are amended to reflect requested changes by the City
as to additional water valve requirements, providing for a City policy
as to unmetered service, and that all water meters shall be purchased
from'the City.
CHAPTER 4
Section 4.01 has been amended to adopt the latest edition of the
Uniform Building Code and optional appendices. Section 4.10 has been
revised in its entirety to comply with the 1983 statute and also to
provide for a hearing and an owner's permit, as well as the permit to
use the streets, as requested. This amendment should be specifically
reviewed by the Building Inspector for any comments he may have.
Subdivision 3, Subparagraph C of Sec. 4.20 has been amended to also
restrict signs within specified distances from railroad rights-of-way.
Ordinance No. 3, 2nd Series, which also amends Sec. 4.20, will be
incorporated in preparing the revision pages. A new Sec. 4.60 is
provided for which allows construction headquarters, temporary
structures and storage areas until 858 of the units in the plat have
been developed.
CHAPTER 5
Definition of club and fraternal club have been amended in accordance
with the 1983 statute which changed the required term of existence
from ten years to three. While Ordinance No. 5 amended Sec. 5.13 to
change the effective date, this Section was further reviewed at the
conference. Subdivision 2 presently exempts only temporary beer
licensees from the requirements of this Section. Due to legislative
amendments to this statute in 1983, the establishment of exemptions by
other beer as well as on -sale wine licensees can be proven by
affidavit, and therefore ease the burden of the City to require proof •
of eligibility for such exemption. We are therefore inserting the
exemption to include on -sale beer licensees with sales of less than
$10,000, off -sale beer licensees with sales of less than $20,000, and
on -sale wine licensees with sales of less than $10,000. we specifi-
cally call your attention to these added exemptions since it was felt
at the conference that this should be a Council decision.
While Sec. 5.34 was amended by Ordinance No. 5, it has been revised to
delete references to "non -intoxicating malt liquor", since "beer" is
so defined in Section 5.01. Subdivision 1 of Sec. 5.52 has been
amended to remove the alternative of liability insurance (mandatory
requirement in Sec. 5.13), and adds Subd. 14 to allow an off -sale
licensee to provide free samples in accordance with Chapter 259 of the
1983 Laws. The on -sale wine license fee has been changed to $200.00
for an annual license and $100.00 for a Sunday license. The prohibi-
tion in Sec. 5.80 as to consumption and display has been repealed and.
new Sec. 5.81 inserted which provides for an annual consumption and
display license. The fee to be paid to the City is $300.00. In'
addition, the applicant is required to pay a fee of $100.00 to the
State of Minnesota. Section 5.14 is also a new Section which we
strongly recommend be added to the general provisions at the beginning
of this Chapter. You will note that it requires thirty days notice to
the City prior to cancellation. It is our feeling that the ten day
notice period is insufficient since it does not allow ample time to
give notice and hold a hearing as to action to be taken on the
license.
CHAPTER 6
The definiton of a kennel has been amended to provide for "four or
more dogs or cats" rather than three. Ordinance No. 4 amending Sec.
6.42 as to construction, alteration or repair of buildings will be
incorporated in preparing the revision pages.
-2- 41
CHAPTER 8
Adoption of MSA Chapter 169 has been updated to amend through Laws
1983.
CHAPTER 9
Section 9.16 has been amended to update in accordance with Chapter 24
of the 1983 Laws which prohibits obstructing access to a handicapped
parking space, requires visible sign -posting and non-movable signs,
and authorizes tagging on private and public property.
CHAPTER 10
Ordinance No. 2 prohibiting trapping will be inserted in preparing the
revision pages. Dangerous weapons or articles, due date of dog and
cat licenses and curfew have been amended in Sections 10.10, 10.11 and
10.30. The requested ordinance relating to building security and fire
alarm systems has been inserted as Sec. 10.43 with some revision to
• follow the format of the City Code.
CHAPTER 11
The definition of Planned Development from proposed Ordinance No. 7
has been inserted in Sec. 11.03, as well as the definition.of setback.
Subdivision 26 of Sec. 11.10 has been amended to correct- confusing
language and the references to the Industrial Districts have been
changed in Sec. 11.20, as requested. Day care special permits have
been repealed in the Agricultural and Residential Districts as
provided in proposed Ordinance No. 6, and on -sale wine and 3.2 beer as
a conditional use in the I-1 Industrial District inserted. The typo
error on Page 397 will be corrected in typing the revision pages.
CHAPTER 13
•The Council waiver has been amended in Sec. 13.02, Subd. 2, in
accordance with proposed Ordinance No. 13. Amendments to Sections
13.10 and 13.30 have been inserted as requested.
CHAPTER 25
Ordinances numbered 101, 102 and 103 will be inserted in preparing the
revision pages, as will Ordinance No. 1, 2nd Series, which adopted the
codification.

the Advisory Planning Commission at their last regular meeting
held on January 24, 1984, to consider an application for the keeping
of horses on a 4.50 -acre parcel of land zoned R-1, owned by George
L. and Miriam M. Nall located at 3960 pilot Knob Road. The Advisory
Planning Commission is recommending denial of the variance request.

SUBJECT: VARIANCE
APPLICANT: GEORGE L. S MIRIAM M NALL
LOCATION: SA OF THE NA OF SECTION 22
EXISTING ZONING: R-1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 24, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 19, 1984
REPORTED BY: JUDY HEALD
• APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been received for the keep-
ing of horses on a 4.50 -acre parcel of land zoned R-1 (Residential
Single District) located at 3960 Pilot Knob Road (Parcel No. 10-02200-
040-27).
CITY CODE REQUIREMENT
Section 10.12, Subdivision 2, Keeping, states in part, "It is unlaw-
ful for any person to keep or harbor any animal, not in transit, ex-
cept (1) farm animals kept in that portion of the City zoned Agricul-
tural.and containing no less than five acres."
A horse is defined as a "Farm Animal"
Therefore, the applicant needs a variance for the 4.50 acres of land
as well as the R-1 zoning.
• It should be noted, however, the City Code does not limit the number
of horses per parcel or the distance the horses will be kept from the
property line. Since staff has been receiving other inquiries about
the number of horses allowed per acre, perhaps the Advisory Planning
Commission would want to limit the number per acre or per application.
The Planning Commission may also want to look at the distance the
horses will be pastured or stabled from the property line.
COMMENTS
The applicants are presently owners of the property but are requesting
the variance for the occupants of the site. The applicants have stat-
ed there will be 3 horses housed on the site which will be cared for
by the occupants. ,
As can be seen on the applicant's site plan, the proposed fenced -in
area for the keeping of the horses will be on the north side of the
property which will be adjacent another large, unplatted parcel, and
to the west, County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road). The block'marked "SHED"

will house the horses.
If approved, the variance shall be subject to the following condi-
tions:
1) There shall be no more than 3 horses stabled on the site.
2) No other farm animals as defined in Section 10.12 shall be
allowed.
3) No commercial or home occupation shall be permitted in con-
nection with the keeping of the horses.
4) Fencing shall be subject to the requirements of the City •
Code.
5) All other applicable ordinances shall be complied with.

with the renters stabling the horses on the property. Questions concerning
the size of the fenced area and the type of fence were asked by members
Wilkins, and there were also concerns about the nearness of the property to
Pilot Knob Road, the residential character of the neighborhood and the need
for variance under the 5 acre minimum for agricultural purposes. Noting the
objections that were submitted by neighboring owners, Mulrooney stated that
there was no showing of any practical difficulties or hardships according to
ordinance requirements and was also concerned about precedent problems and the

• APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting
a conditional use permit for outside storage located in part of the
SW; of the SA of the NEk of Section 24, 3955 Dodd Road.
COMMENTS
In reviewing this particular application, it appears that Mr. Kieffer
presently owns a minimum of 5 acres, and there is presently a farm-
stead with a barn and new pole building constructed on this property.
City staff issued a permit in late 1983 for a pole barn as it relates
to agricultural purposes. It is also staff's understanding that Mr.
Kieffer is a collector of antique cars and has a rental car business
in which he needs a place to store some of the vehicles he presently
owns himself or with his business. Staff understands that most of
the vehicles are presently stored inside, however, there are some ve-
hicles which would be needed to be stored outside on occasion.
• Staff has reviewed the property and the area proposed for storage is
not that noticeable from Dodd Road, if the storage could be placed
in a location which would be least noticeable from Dodd Road.
Since the application was submitted, staff has notified the property
owners within 350 feet. We have had one inquiry from Mr. Howard Fox
requesting what the notice was about and is the business a legitimate
business or is some type of illegal operation being proposed. Staff
informed him that this was the normal process to notify the people
within a distance of 350 feet to inform them as to what is being pro-
posed on this particular property. The only concern Mr. Fox had was
he wanted to make sure that Mr. Kieffer was performing a legitimate
business with the storage of the vehicles.
In review of this particular conditional use, it would appear that
if this conditional use is approved, it should be subject to the fol-
lowing conditions:

1) All vehicles stored on the property shall either have a collect-

2) The Planning Commission may want to discuss with Mr. Kieffer
how many cars should be the maximum stored on this property
that would work for Mr. Kieffer and have some control by the
Advisory Planning Commission.

mately 30 vehicles stored outside with 40 or 50 vehicles inside at the present
time and not all are licensed. A neighboring owner had concerns as to whether
the proposal would meet the ordinance guidelines. Mr. Kieffer stated that he
would agree to license all of the automobiles if it was a requirement of the
City and also may request a permit for an additional pole building in the near
future. He also stated that he would agree with the annual renewal condi-

EXISTING ZONING: R -II (MIXED RESIDENTIAL) WITH A DENSITY OF
3-6 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE - LEXINGTON SOUTH PUD
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 24, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 18, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
• APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted requesting
preliminary plat, Sunset 4th Addition, consisting of approximately
15.16 acres and would contain 32 single family lots in part of the
NW4 of the NW4 of Section 25 south of County Road 30 (Diffley Road),
west of Saddlehorn Addition and north of Hackmore Drive.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the parcel is zoned PD (Planned Development District) in
the Lexington South Planned Development. The proposed land use de-
signated for this parcel is R -II (Mixed Residential) with a density
of 3-6 dwelling units per acre. The Comprehensive Guide Plan desig-
nates this parcel as R -I and R -II with the northeasterly portion being
R -I (Single Family Residential) with a density of 0-3 dwelling units
per acre; the westerly portion of the plat is designated is R -II
(Mixed Residential) with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre.
• The overall plat density contains 2.2 dwelling units per acre, thus
conforming with the R -I proposed land use of the Comprehensive Guide
Plan.
COMMENTS
As stated above, the proposed development will contain 15.16 acres
and would contain 32 single family lots. Each of the proposed single
family lots would meet all of the R-1 zoning requirements which is
85' lot width and 12,000 square feet. The net density of this de-
velopment proposal is 2.2 dwelling units per acre which is a low den-
sity for single family development.
The proposed plat abuts Sunset 1st Addition on the most easterly por-
tion of the plat. The access to Sunset 4th Addition would be through
Sunset 1st Addition where Richard Lane will tie into Yorktown Place
and provide access from the east. Access from the west, Yorktown
Place, will be stubbed from Northview Meadows to this proposed devel-
opment. There will be two access points to this plat for good traffic

movement. The applicant is proposing a looped street, Sunset Drive,
which would provide access to all of the single family lots south of
Yorktown Place.
In review of the surrounding land use, there appears to be three
single family residences abutting this plat on the south. Two of the
residences contain approximately 5 acres and would have access from a
private street at the present time, which, in the future, may be the
extension of Hackmore Drive. Presently, it is not proposed to develop
Hackmore Drive or upgrade Hackmore Drive with this preliminary plat be-
cause the lots do have access from other streets which will be construct-
ed to City standards.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions: •
1) All lots shall meet the minimum R-1 zoning criteria which is
85 -foot lot width and 12,000 square feet.
2) The applicant shall dedicate all easements as requested by
City staff.
3) All other City ordinances shall be met.

MEMO'TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY
PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
- DATE:
JANUARY
16,
1984
SUBJECT:
SUNSET
4TH
ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works -has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consider-
ation by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE/TOPOGRAPHY
This proposed development is located directly east of Northview Mea-
dows Addition and south of County Road 30. The existing topography
consists of rolling hills with the south half of this portion drain-
ing to the south and the north half of this portion draining to the
east. The southerly portion of this proposed development slopes
rather steeply to the south with the slopes approaching 188. Slopes
in the northerly portion of this proposed development range from 28
to 15%. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship of this proposed de-
velopment being located partially within the J and L major drainage
districts as defined by the Master Storm Sewer Plan.
The proposed grading will result in a low spot being in the vicinity
of Lot 9, Block 2 with all the drainage north of the proposed street
being directed towards it. From here, it is directed to the east via
storm sewer through the Sunset lst Addition and then to the north to
a holding area just south of Pond JP -27.
UTILITIES
n
Existing utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist with- •
in the proximity of this proposed development to provide service to
it.
Watermain for this proposed development is proposed to be looped
through this development from an existing 6" watermain within York-
town Place to the watermain constructed within the Sunset 1st Addi-
tion. Sanitary sewer for this proposed development is proposed to
be serviced by extending the sanitary sewer proposed to be construct-
ed within the Sunset 1st Addition. This sewer and water should also
be stubbed to the east boundary of the Sunset 1st Addition to facil-
itate future utility extensions to the property to the east.
If utilities are to be installed under private contract, then the
plans and specifications shall be prepared by a registered engineer
and submitted to the City for approval.
STREETS
Access to this proposed development consists of a public street named
Yorktown Place located within the Northview Meadows Addition and abuts
91

JANUARY 16,.1984
PAGE TWO
the west boundary of this proposed development.
It is proposed to extend Yorktown Place to the east and provide in—
ternal access by way of a public looped street. The public looped
street will provide for excellent traffic flow, however, staff would
recommend that Yorktown Place be extended to the east boundary of
Sunset lst Addition. This would provide a connection with the pro-
posed north -south street within the Sunset 1st Addition and greatly
improve the traffic circulation.
The developer proposes to construct the internal street under pri-
vate contract and petition for the City to install the curb and gut-
ter.and bituminous paving for Yorktown Place. Staff has no problem
with this as long as it is made a condition of the final plat for
• the developer to provide the gravel base for Yorktown Place.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
The developer is proposing a 60' right-of-way for Yorktown Place and
a 50' right-of-way for the internal street, Sunset Drive, which staff
concurs with. However, staff strongly recommends extending the right-
of-way for Yorktown Place from the east boundary of this preliminary
plat as proposed to the east boundary of Sunset 1st Addition for rea-
sons previously mentioned. Also, a minimum 25' half right-of-way
shall be dedicated for Hackmore Drive along the southerly border of
this proposed development.
A 10' utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to all publicly
dedicated right-of-way along with a 5' drainage and utility easement
being dedicated adjacent to all exterior lot lines with a 10' drain-
age and utility easement being dedicated over all interior lot lines.
In addition, the necessary storm sewer easements required by the pro-
posed alignment across Lot 11, Block 2 of this proposed Addition and
Lot 4, Block 1 of the Sunset 1st Addition will be required to be dedi-
cated and/or obtained.
ASSESSMENTS
In reviewing the assessments levied over this proposed development
which consists of Parcel 010-27 and 021-27 of the NWS of Section 25,
it was found that all trunk related assessments have been levied.
Subsequently, all future costs for public improvements shall be the
sole responsibility of this proposed development.
MISCELLANEOUS
As proposed, this development will pose a problem in the.future re-
garding the construction of streets and utilities within Hackmore
Drive since Lots 6-10, Block 1 will have double frontages. Subse-
quently, it will be difficult to assess any benefit resulting from
utility and street improvements within Hackmore Drive to these lots,
thereby jeopardizing the financing of any such projects. Therefore,
9D'_
ENGINEERING REPORT
SUNSET 4TH ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
JANUARY 16, 1984
PAGE THREE
staff would recommend that Lots 6-10, Block 1 be subdivided each into
two lots with the additional lot being labeled an outlot. This would
provide the owner of a lot ownership and control over the outlot
should it elect to be included with this purchase and also allow the
City to assess the benefits resulting from the improvements of Hack -
more Drive.
An alternate to this would be for the developer to provide an escrow
account for the costs of improving Hackmore Drive which may be drawn
against upon the improvement of Hackmore Drive. Finally, a last al-
ternative is to leave the plat as proposed thereby encumbering the
City's trunk funds for future improvements within Hackmore Drive.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the Ad-
visory Planning Commission at their meeting of January 24, 1984.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard M. Hefti, P.E.

APC Minutes
January 24, 1984
Swenson and Jim Curry appeared for the applicant. Mr. Swenson explained the
slope features and heavy tree cover on the south and stated there is little
chance of the southerly portion of the lots being developed because of the
slope. There are smaller lots to the north and larger residential lots to the
south and it was suggested that the lot sizes make a reasonable transition.
He stated that neighborhood meetings have been held and no objections have
been received, in fact, neighbors generally approved the project. The owner
of the property to the east appeared and supported the proposal as well as
other property owners who were in support of the project. There was discussion
concerning the proposal of the engineering staff to provide that the southerly
lots be divided, including outlots on the south side of each lot to allow
future development, also assessments for the possible extension of Hackmore
Drive in the future. Member Krob stated that the Planning Commission and •
Council must listen to the staff recommendations and not only look at the
immediate development but the long-term city responsibility, but also was
aware of the transition from smaller to larger lots to the south. Mr. Sauter,
an owner to the south, was present and stated that he may need access to
Hackmore Drive extended if his land is subdivided. Wilkins moved, McCrea
seconded the motion to recommend approval of the application subject to the
following conditions:
1. All lots shall meet the minimum R-1 zoning criteria which is 85 -foot
lot width and 12,000 square feet.
2. The applicant shall dedicate all easements as requested by City
staff.
3. All other City ordinances shall be met.
4. A detailed grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted for •
staff review.
5. If utilities are to be installed privately, then the plans and
specifications shall be prepared by a registered engineer and submitted to the
City for approval.
6. Right-of-way for Yorktown Place shall be extended to the east boun-
dary line of the Sunset 1st Addition.
7. This development shall be responsible for placing the gravel base
for Yorktown Place.

Public Works Depar nit recommended that an overall plan or the land to the
west be submitted to ovide for access to that parcel, ich otherwise could
be cut off except Dodd R d to the north and west. Th a were no objections
to the application and the eveloper indicated that a would be willing to

MEMO TO: THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1984
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT - SUNSET 4TH ADDITION
During the staff review of this proposed subdivision, the Engineer-
ing Division recommended (R13) that Lots 6-10 of Block 1 be divided
into outlots fronting onto Hackmore Drive to eliminate the proposed
double frontage of these lots. This recommendation was omitted
from the approval granted by the Planning Commission with no sug-
gested alternative to future problems associated with financing
the upgrading of Hackmore Drive.
The attached map shows the location of the proposed Sunset 4th
• Addition to the dedicated right-of-way of Hackmore Drive. If the
Sunset 4th Addition does not wish to have lots fronting on to Hack -
more' Drive and subsequently retain the larger -sized lots, then
I would strongly recommend that the Council make it a condition
of this plat approval to pay a residential equivalent assessment
to the City which could be applied to any future costs associated
with the installation of streets and utilities when Hackmore Drive
is upgraded and connected to the recently completed street within
the Northview Meadows subdivision.
If this financial obligation is not a requirement of the final
plat, it will become the City's financial responsibility to pay
for one-half of the costs associated with the upgrading of streets
and utilities within Hackmore Drive when it occurs in the future.
This is due to the fact that we will be limited in the amount of
• the costs that can be assessed on the property on the south side
to the benefit received from those improvements. Therefore, I
strongly recommend that the Council require this future obligation
of the subdivision to be paid now to cover the City's future finan-
cial responsibilities.
As an alternative, these lots could be split with adequate frontage
and :square footage taking direct access from future streets and
utilities from Hackmore Drive. However, if this alternative is
approved, it would require the upgrading of Hackmore Drive at the
present time to provide these newly -created lots with standard
streets and utilities..
I would like to discuss the concerns of the Public Works Department
with the City Council in relationship to the elimination of the
recommendation as approved by the Planning Commission in hopes
that a satisfactory alternative can be agreed upon.
Respectfully submitted,

meetings in addition to considerable committee work, it seemed
appropriate to place this item on the agenda and allow City Council -
member Smith, who is Chairman of the Joint Commission, and City
Administrator Hedges to update the City Council on progress the
Commission is making to date. The City Council may want to review
minutes that have been provided with the last informative memo

MNDOT COST PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #61824 (I-494)
B. Approve MnDot Cost Participation Agreement #61824 (I -494) -
As discussed under the public hearing for Project 349, the progres-
sion of I-494 to the east with its interchange with T.H. 149 results
in a relocation and upgrading of east and west Blue Gentian Road
to City standards. Due to the fact that these local streets require
cost participation from the City to accomplish this upgrading to
City standards, it is necessary for the City to enter into a cost
participation agreement with MnDot. The City's obligations under
this MnDot agreement have been reviewed in detail by the Public
Works Director and consulting engineer and found them to be in
accordance with standard policies for joint construction and cost
participation. The City's obligations associated with this cost •
participation agreement have been taken into consideration and
addressed as a part of the feasibility report for Project 349.
Therefore, if the public hearing for Project 349 is closed and
the improvements ordered for installation earlier in the agenda,
it would be in order for the Council to approve this cost participa-
tion agreement providing for the City's financial obligation
associated with those improvements.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To pass/deny a resolution
approving Cost Participation Agreement #61824 authorizing the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute all related agreements and documents
providing for financial obligation of the City associated with
the upgrading of east and west Blue Gentian Roads as a part of
I-494.

MNDOT COST PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #61932 (I -35E
C. Approve MnDot Cost Participation Agreement #61932 (I -35E)
-- As it was discussed under Project 372 during the public hearing
earlier in the agenda, there are several street and utility
improvements associated with the progression of I -35E that become
the City's financial obligation. Subsequently, a cost participation
agreement has been prepared by MnDot delineating the City's
financial responsibilities associated with the upgrading of
these local improvements to City standards.
This agreement has been reviewed in detail by the Public works
Director and consulting engineer and the financial responsibility
delineation has been found to be in accordance with present
• policies for cooperative joint construction and cost participations.
All the improvements delineated in Project 372 presented under
the public hearing earlier on the agenda have been taken into
consideration in this agreement as it pertains to the City's
responsibilities.
If the public hearing for Project 372 is closed and the project
approved as presented, it would be in order for the Council
to approve this cost participation agreement so that this work
can be performed cooperatively under a MnDot contract.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To pass/deny a resolution
approving MnDot Cost Participation Agreement #61932 and authorizing
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents and
agreements.

part of the I -35E progression through the City of Eagan, certain
improvements will be performed cooperatively under a MnDot contract
for the upgrading of County 30 (Diffley Road) and County Road
31 (Pilot Knob Road). MnDot Agreement #61933 is a cost participa-
tion agreement between the State and the County due to the juris-
dictional authority of the county roads being approved under
a state contract. However, present City policy requires that
any improvements to county roads be the joint responsibility
of the County and the benefitted municipality on a 55/45 split
of costs for all road improvements and related appyrtenances.
Therefore, the County has prepared a cost participation agreement
between the County and the City delineating the City's share
of the costs associated with the County's responsibility as
a part of MnDot's cost participation agreement.

All proposed improvements associated with this cost participation
agreement with the County have been taken into consideration
and included in the feasibility report for Project 372 presented
earlier on the agenda under public hearings. The Public works
Director and consulting engineer have reviewed this cost participa-
tion agreement in detail and found it to be in conformance with
present policies of delineation of financial obligations between
jurisdictional agencies for related improvements.
Therefore, if the public hearing is closed and Project 372 ap-
proved earlier on the agenda under the public hearing items,
it would be appropriate for the Council to approve this cost
participation agreement between the City and the County.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve Dakota County •
Cost Participation Agreement relating to MnDot Agreement #61933
for the upgrading of Diffley Road and Pilot Knob Road associated
with I -35E and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
all related documents.

CONTRACT 84-1/LONE OAK ROAD-T.H. 55 WATERMAIN
E. Contract 84-1, Receive Bids/Award Contract (Lone Oak Road/T.H.
55 - Watermain) -- On November 15, 1983, the public hearing was
held and a project approved which consisted of three parts:
Part 1: Construction of trunk watermain along the west side
of T.H. 55/149 through the intersection of Lone Oak
Road and westerly extension within Lone Oak Road
from this intersection due to pending intersection
improvements by MnDot during 1984. The segment of
trunk watermain from Lone Oak Road southerly to the
extension of Apollo Drive was bid at a 24" -diameter
• with an alternate bid requested for a 20" -diameter
trunk watermain for this segment. The City's consult-
ing engineer and Public Works Director will be evalu-
ating the cost benefit of reducing this watermain
size and will have the information available to the
Council for consideration of the alternate bid at
the meeting on February 21.
Part 2: This consisted of relocation of hydrants and lowering/
insulating the existing watermain and relocating
fire hydrants along the west side of T.H. 149 by
General Coatings Inc. in anticipation of the future
frontage road to be constructed by MnDot during 1984.
Part 3:
This involves the westerly extension of trunk water -
main facilities from Pilot Knob Road, at its inter-
section with Duckwood Drive, in anticipation of the
future upgrading by MnDot during 1984. This work
was not originally contained in the feasibility report
as it was anticipated to be performed under a MnDot
contract. Regardless, this work will be the full
responsibility of the trunk watermain with no related
assessments. As such, it was not necessary to have
it included in the original feasibility report.
However, because MnDot could not incorporate it in
their construction plans in a timely fashion, it
was determined to be in the City's best interest
to add this trunk related work under this contract
for bidding purposes.
Enclosed on
page10 is a tabulation of the bids received at the
official bid
opening held on February 16. Due to the necessity
of this project and the favorable bids received, the staff is recom-
mending that

CONTRACT 84-3/ALMQUIST LAKE LIFT STATION
F. Contract 84-3, Approve Plans/Authorize Advertisement for
Bids (Almquist Lake Lift Station) -- On January 17 a public
hearing was held for Project 393 providing for the installation
of a trunk storm sewer outlet for Almquist Lake. The public
hearing was closed and the project subsequently approved with
authorization being given for the preparation of detailed plans
and specifications. These plans have now been completed and
are being presented to the Council for their review, approval
and authorization to advertise for a bid opening. The consulting
engineer and Public Works Director will be available to discuss
the details of these plans with the Council at the meeting on
• February 21.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/deny the plans
and specifications for Contract 84-3 (Almquist Lake Lift Station)
and, if approved, authorize the advertisement for a bid opening
to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 15, 1984.
CONTRACT 82-7/CINNAMON RIDGE 3RD ADDITION
G. Contract 82-7, Final Payment/Acceptance - Cinnamon Ridge
3rd Addition (Streets 8 Utilities) -- We have received a request
for final payment for Contract 82-7 from our consulting engineering
firm along with a certification of compliance with the approved
plans and specifications which provided for the installation
of streets and utilities to service the Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition.
Taking into consideration the two change orders that modified
the original contract amount, the final construction costs came
• in 2.58 below the original contract amount due to minor miscel-
laneous quantity underruns. All cost associated with this project
will be assessed against the development.
All final inspections have been witnessed and verified by represen-
tatives of the Public Works Department and it is now being recom-
mended that this project be formally accepted for perpetual
maintenance and that final payment be authorized to contractor.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the seventh
and final payment of $25,707.03 to Austin P. Keller Construction
Company for Contract 82-7 and accept the project for perpetual
maintenance.

1984 SEWER 8 WATER UTILITY USER RATES
H. Consideration of Sewer 8 Water Utility User Rates for 1984
As is customary on an annual basis, the Public Works Director had
the consulting engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik
and Associates, Inc. perform a study pertaining to sewer and water
utility user rates in relationship to expenses and required revenue
to maintain and provide sewer and water service for the City.
A review of the approved 1984 utility budget, combined with antici-
pated sales during 1984, resulted in this report conclusion and
recommendation that the sewer and water user rates not be increased
for 1984. A copy of this report is being forwarded to the Council
under separate cover for their review, comment and reference during
consideration of this item.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the 1984 report
on sewer and water utility user rate study and approve/deny the
recommendation for no increase in rates during 1984.
TRUNK -RELATED ASSESSMENT RATES - 1984
I. Consideration of Trunk -Related Assessment Rates for 1984 --
In the past, the Public Work Director has had the consulting engi-
neering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, Inc.,
review the construction costs associated with completing our trunk
systems (sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer, and major streets)
and recommend appropriate rates to maintain the solvency of these
funds through the levying of trunk -related assessments (area,
lateral benefit, road user connection fees, street equivalent
assessments, etc.). In the past, this information was included
as an appendix to the annual sewer and water utility rate study.
However, the Director of Public Works felt that this information
should be expanded and addressed through a separate report for
separate action by the Council.
Therefore, forward to the Council under separate cover is a copy
of this report for their review, comments and reference during
consideration of this item on February 21. The results of this
report indicate that the trunk -related assessments should be
increased by an average of 5.08. It also established definitive
rates for a zoned -equivalent rate (residential, multiple, com-
mercial/industrial) to be used during the upgrading of major
streets.
The Public Works Director and consultant engineer will be available
to discuss this report in detail with the Council as they desire
on February 21.

DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1984
SUBJECT: INFORMATIVE
COMMUNITY ROOM
The City has prepared a rather lengthy procedure for the use of
the Community Room located at the Fire Administration Building.
Scheduling the Community Room will be a function of Parks and

MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION UPDATE
Enclosed is a letter from Larkin, Hoffman, Daly and Lindgren law
firm that provides a summary of the representation agreement they
have entered into with the 14 cities. This letter provides a brief
analysis of how the law firm will work with the 14 cities and I
thought would be of interest to the City Council. The City Admin-
istrator is attending an all -day meeting on Friday, February 17,
along with City Administrators from the other 13 cities to work
on position papers with the lobbyist. The next regular meeting
of the joint commission is at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 23,
in the City of Roseville. Mayor Blomquist and the City Admin-
istrator, as the City's two delegates, will be attending. A copy
of the letter is found on pages 11 through 120 .
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT @196/EAGAN HIGH SCHOOL ISSUE
The City Administrator and Mayor Blomquist attended a school board
meeting that was held on Monday, February 13, 1984. Needless to
say, the meeting lasted from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. with Eagan
residents attempting to endure a long wait from 7:30 until 10:30
when the school facilities item was considered. Mayor Blomquist
and the City Administrator will discuss in more detail what trans-
pired at the school board meeting in a future workshop session.
Enclosed is a copy of a letter and

RACE TRACK •
Enclosed on page S 1) is a copy of a letter received from the City
of Mendota Heights and also an pagej3 Z is a copy of a letter
received from the City of Sunfish La ereggarding their positions
on the proposed horse racing facility site in the City of Eagan.
This week, a statement was made by Ray Glumack on WCCO that would
appear to the average listener that MAC had problems with the horse
racing facility being located under the preferential runway in
the City of Eagan. The statement about the race track came to
the attention of the City's applicant, Minnesota Jockey Club, Inc.,
and in an effort to clarify Mr. Glumack's statement a meeting was
held on Wednesday, February 15 in Mr. Glumack's office. The City
of Eagan was asked by Mr. Pflaum for representation at the meeting
and the City Administrator contacted City Councilmember Egan who
joined the Administrator at the meeting. To reduce an hour and
a half of dialogue to a few sentences is difficult but the main •
outcome of the discussion was that Mr. Glumack made it extremely
clear that he is not an adversary of the Eagan horse racing site
or any site for that matter and was merely addressing a question
as to how the airport would regard any kind of land use that might
threaten continued alignment designation of the preferential runway.
Mr. Glumack responded by stating that the Metropolitan Airports
Commission would be very concerned about any use that would cause
any jeopardy to the preferential runway. The Minnesota Jockey
Club, Inc. presented a three-page easement that guarantees the
Metropolitan Airports Commission that they will provide permanent
air rights for the preferential runway over their horse racing
facility dismissing any public speculation that noise is a problem
for the horse track. It was made extremely clear by Mr. Glumack
that the MAC is not concerned about noise being a factor for the
horse track; any noise concern for the horse track is a private
matter with the investors. This matter was cleared up and the
easement will be filed with the application. Since the recent
I(S
INFORMATIVE MEMO
February 17, 1984
Page 3
city council meeting held on February 7, 1984, in the City of
Mendota Heights has brought considerable news attention to the
race track located in the City of Eagan, I felt copies of articles
regarding that meeting might be of interest to the City Council.
Enclosed on pages 13 1through 1'� are a cumber of copies of
articles that have appeared in —4ocaal`newpapers. Also enclosed
on pagess�4-J4Sis a copy of a letter from the Inver Grove Heights
Development Corporation informing Mayor Blomquist that their corpor-
ation has endorsed the Eagan site and further that they're request-
ing a similar endorsement from mayors of cities in Dakota County.
WORKSHOP
The City Administrator is suggesting that the City Council have
a workshop session to address a number of miscellaneous items,
one of which should be a meeting with the History Committee. A
• suggested date for that meeting is February 28 if the date is
acceptable to everyone's calendar. A formal agenda would be prepared
for the special workshop/City Council meeting; however, it is anti-
cipated there would be no formal action taken.
PROJECT 349, BLUE GENTIAN ROAD (Streets & Storm Sewer Improvements)
City Financing -- On page 5 of the feasibility report
for Project 349, the revenue sources to finance this project are
delineated in relationship to project cost and revenue receipt
from assessments. You will note that the resulting balance indi-
cates $178,544 will be the responsibility of "City and State" funds.
The report was prepared this way to show that the assessment revenue
as proposed under this project was not sufficient to cover the
cost of the improvements being performed.
• However, through a cost participation agreement with MnDot, the
State will be participating in a portion of these construction
costs. Therefore, enclosed on pages( - is a subsequent summary
of revenue sources that was performed to show the relationship
of the MnDot cost participation in relationship to the project
cost and assessment revenue. As can be seen from this subsequent
summary, due to the significant cost participation on behalf of
MnDot combined with the proposed assessment revenues, this results
in a positive balance of $132,385 to the City's trunk storm sewer
fund and $260,861 to the City's major street fund.
This subsequent information is being forwarded to the Council to
show that the significant negative balance on page 5 of the feasi-
bility report does not imply that the City will be incurring a
financial burden to our trunk funds if this project is approved.
It also provides additional information to the Council in considera-
tion of any special assessment consideration requests that have
been received.

Project 372, I -35E (Utility s Street Improvements) -- Financial
Revenue Review
The feasibility report that was prepared for Project 372 provided
a revenue source breakdown on pages 47 and 48 to show the relation-
ship between the cost of the project for various improvements, the
assessment revenue that would be generated from this project and
the resulting balance that would be the responsibility of "City
& State" funds. This resulting total balance indicated a negative
$846,767 deficit that would have to be financed through these city/
state funds. This information was presented this way to show that
the revenue being generated from assessments was less than the cost
of the overall project.
However, through a cost participation agreement with MnDOT, the •
state and the county will be participating in some of these finan-
cial liabilities. Therefore, enclosed on pages /+0) through-()
is a subsequent summary sheet of revenue sources which shows t -e
balance after taking into consideration the financial participation
of the state and the county. This summary sheet shows the actual
financial obligation of the City's trunk funds which range from
a negative balance of $103,930 to the trunk watermain fund to a
#285,174 positive balance to the major street fund if all assess-
ments are levied as proposed under this project. It was felt that
this information would be beneficial to the Council in helping to
determine the benefit of this project in relationship to the or-
dering of this improvement.
The Public Works Director and Consulting Engineer can discuss this
financial analysis in further detail at the Council meeting if de- •
sired by the Council.

I would like to take this opportunity to set forth a Representation
Agreement as indicated in a letter you received from Jim Erickson
dated February 1, 1984. That letter also contained our initial
retainer invoice in the amount of $7,500.
Larkin, Hoffman, Daly 5 Lindgren, Ltd., is pleased and honored to
undertake representation of the Municipal Legislative Commission (MLC)
as special legislative and administrative counsel through June 30, 1984.
As you know, the firm has recently commenced work on this undertaking
following actions by the Municipal Legislative Commission in late
January and early February selecting the firm as special legislative
and administrative counsel. The firm will undertake to represent
the Municipal Legislative Commission on issues of concern to members
of the Municipal Legislative Commission. It is anticipated that the
firm will work with several different public bodies with jurisdiction
to consider these issues, including the legislature, state government
agencies, the Governor's office, the Metropolitan Council and its
related metropolitan agencies, and the newly -formed Minnesota Tax
Study Commission.
Robert G. Renner, Jr., and I have been assigned as attorneys with
primary responsibility for this matter. We will call upon the
services of other attorneys in the firm who may have expertise or
knowledge useful in successfully resolving a particular issue.
119
L.ARHIN, HOFFMAN. DALY & L.INDGRF,N, LTD.
Mr. James Lacina
February 8, 1984
Page Two
At this time, we anticipate that Robert L. Hoffman, James C. Erickson,
and Forrest D. (Dick) Nowlin will be actively involved. It is quite
likely that other attorneys in the firm will also be involved in this
representation. Ms. Deborah J. Grant, a legal assistant, will work
closely with the attorneys assigned to this file.
The firm will undertake to monitor the activities of state and
metropolitan governmental bodies. The firm will act as the spokesman
for the Municipal Legislative Commission and its members before state
and regional governmental agencies on issues of concern. We will
undertake to have adopted the policies and legislation consistent
with the goals of the Municipal Legislative Commission. The firm •
will provide regular updates, through written reports and meetings,
regarding issues of concern to the Municipal Legislative Commission.
We will coordinate the presentation of information, testimony, and
proposals to various governmental bodies and work closely with members
of the Municipal Legislative Commission to develop the information and
policies to be presented to the governmental bodies. Other services
rendered will include legal analysis and drafting, attendance at
meetings of the legislature and other governmental bodies, conferences
with legislators, members of the metropolitan agencies, staff, and
other appropriate officials. Miscellaneous services will, include
telephone conferences, research, and review of documents and policy
papers.
The Lawyers' Professional Responsibility Board encourages attorneys to
fully explain fee arrangements and the scope of representation in order
to avoid misunderstandings. Therefore, I would like to address the
terms of the representation. The firm is undertaking the representa-
tion of the Municipal Legislative Commission, a new body formed under
a joint powers agreement entered into by 14 suburban municipalities.
In undertaking to represent the Municipal Legislative Commission, the
firm does not undertake representation of any of the municipalities
who are members of the Commission. As you are aware, the firm has
appeared before municipalities on behalf of private clients of the
firm. The firm will continue to appear before municipal bodies and
agencies who are members of the Municipal Legislative Commission on
behalf of private clients. We undertake representation of the
Municipal Legislative Commission with the understanding that continued
appearances before municipalities who are members of the Municipal
Legislative Commission do not present a conflict of interest.
As you also know, the firm is active in representing several other
clients before the Minnesota Legislature, state agencies, and
metropolitan agencies. Should a situation arise where our repre-
sentation of another client conflicts with our representation of the
119
LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY Lac LINDGREN, LTD.
Mr. James Lacina
February 8, 1984
Page Three
Municipal Legislative Commission, we will contact you immediately.
We will then meet with you and the other concerned client to explain
the nature of the conflict. Should it be impossible to resolve the
conflict to the satisfaction of all parties, we may be required
under the Code of Professional Responsibility to withdraw from
representation on the conflicting issue. However, we would be
able to continue to undertake representation of the Municipal
Legislative Commission and other clients on all other issues.
The fee for the representation will be a minimum -of $45,000, plus
osts and expenses, and a maximum of $60,000, plus costs and
xpenses. The Municipal Legislative Commission will receive an
invoice for $7,500 for each of the months of January, February,
March, April, May, and June. Costs and expenses, not to exceed
$500 per month without prior approval, will also be billed on the
invoices. All personnel providing services on this matter will
record their time which will be billed at a rate of $75 per hour.
In July, 1984, the Municipal Legislative Commission will receive a
final billing for expenses and total services rendered in excess of
the $45,000 total of the regular monthly retainers. The firm
guarantees that the additional fees billed in July of 1,984 will not
exceed $15,000, regardless of the total services the firm is called
upon to render through June 30, 1984. I have enclosed for your
information a copy of the firm's policy regarding payment of fees.
We are all very excited and honored to have been chosen by the
Municipal Legislative Commission for this important task. We all
thieving
forward to working closely with members of the commission and
thieving our objectives and goals. Thank you once again for the
confidence you have shown in the firm.

Re: Resolution Requesting Information from Independent School
District 4196
Dear Beverly:
As mayor of the fastest growing city in -the State of Minnesota, I am
often contacted by residents of our community who reside in
Independent School District #196 concerning when construction will
commence for the Eagan High School. Without a doubt, most residents
in our community who reside in ISD #196 believe a high school will
be constructed in the near future on property which was purchased
directly east of Northview Elementary School.
The City of Eagan is regarded within the Twin Cities metropolitan
area as the most viable community for growth and development in the
next several years. Our planning commission and city council
meetings are quite lengthy every month due to the number of new*
residential plats that are creating lots for further housing unit
sites within the City. Most all of that growth will occur in the
thousands of acres undeveloped withing ISD #196.
Many residents who have asked about the time schedule for the com-
pletion of a high school in Eagan have also expressed their satis-
faction in the previous attitude of the school board to decentralize
high schools within the district by spreading the enrollment to
three (3) high schools rather than concentrating a great number of
students in one or two high schools. It has been expressed to me
that the ability for students at the high school level to achieve in
their classwork and to participate in extracurricular activities is
more obtainable if the high school is designed for no greater than
2,000 students.

I certainly feel the school district as well as all cities within
ISD #196 must work together to achieve the best long range educa-
tional objectives for our present and future students. It is my
intention to work with the mayors and community leaders of the other
cities and do everything I can to support the continuation of this
philosophy in years to come. Therefore, I offer a resolution for
your consideration that my citycouncil is aware of but has not had
an opportunity to formally adopt. This resolution is objective and
asks for the answers to basic questions based on facts from the
school administration and our own city administration for future
• review by the school board.
We must not let our emotions, whether they are related to bigger and
better sports objectives, individual school recognition or whatever
the case, overshadow the educational philosophy of the school
district. Therefore, I submit this resolution and the time of our
staff and my personal- effort with other communities to work- on the
answers to these basic questions in a, methodical and objective
fashion with the hopes that a referendum can be scheduled for the
fall of 1984 with the answers to these questions presented to
residents within our school district before the referendum.

RE: Sperry Semiconductor Noise Impact On the Timberline Residen-
tial NeighborhooU
Dear John and Tom:
In official action that was taken by the Eagan City Council
at a regular meeting held on Tuesday, February 7, 1984, the
City Attorney was directed to review a future course of action
with the Sperry Corporation if the level of noise emissions
are not lowered -to an acceptable noise standard for the Timberline
neighborhood by April 1, 1984. The position of the City Attorney
regarding the directive to the City Council will be considered
at the April 3, 1984, City Council meeting if the noise emission
level is not satisfactorily resolved by that date.
Later in the City Council meeting I was directed by the City
Council to obtain a noise meter from a State agency and direct •
a member of the City staff to establish several bench marks
between the Sperry and Timberline properties and conduct noise
readings. These noise readings will be conducted and recorded
at different times, including both daytime and nighttime hours,
and under a variety of atmospheric conditions. This information
will be available for City Council and public inspection at
the April 3, 1984, City Council meeting.
Tom, I am returning the original affidavit and exhibits to the
affidavit as you requested.
On behalf of the City Council, we are hopeful that measures
Sperry is taking will resolve the noise emission problems that
have been causing grief to the Timberline neighborhood. Any
questions you might have about the action course of the City
are welcome at any time.

Re: Sperry Semiconductor Operations Noise Pollution
Dear Mr. Kelso:
PATENTS

COPYRIGHTS
• As I explained to you by phone yesterday, Sperry's new factory in Eagan is
emitting noise at a high level from its roof -mounted ventilator stacks and
this noise is making sleep difficult in our neighborhood. Sperry insists
that its emissions are within MPCA guidelines whereas, based upon sound
measurements I had taken, its noise emissions are far in excess of the
allowable levels.
I am enclosing a copy of the strip -chart data taken by Sperry's in-house
people back in August 1983. It is the latest data that Sperry has made
available. Note that in taking these measurements, the noise sources
were turned on, one -at -a -time, and even then are only a'shade below the
50 dBA limit provided by your regulations. The test which it took
apparently does not show the combined effect of having all of these noise
sources operational simultaneously.
Today, 1 learned that when Sperry went out for bids on the sound
• abatement equipment, it advised potential bidders that the noise at one
exhaust stack was at 104 dB and that existing 300 meters away was 63-75
dB. We find that hard to reconcile with the information Sperry provided
to City authorities via the enclosed report.
1 believe you have a copy of the Fulton affidavit which reflects the test
results which I undertook to have taken and which shows linear dB
readings in the range between 63 and 76 at a point just outside my
bedroom window. .
Should it later become necessary to bring a lawsuit to abate the public
nuisance whichSperryis creating, we believe it could be helpful to have
the MPCA monitor the noise emissions and provide a report to the City of
Eagan, copies to our homeowner association and to Sperry reflecting your
findings.
J;�6
Mr. David Kelso
February 9, 1984

Also, since the City of Eagan has shown a reluctance to enforce its own
ordinances against.a large corporate employer, if your monitoring reveals
violations of the MPCA noise level standards, we would appreciate any
assistance which your agency can provide as far as compelling compliance
is concerned.
1 and my neighbors stand ready to provide whatever information and
assistance may be necessary to conduct the monitoring operations. Sperry
is creating a nightmare situation in or neighborhood and we need help
immediately.

Dear Mr. Turcotte:
PATENTS

COPTPIGNTS
• 1 had hoped by this time to have had the opportunity to meet with you
concerning the noise pollution created by Sperry's Semiconductor Factory.
Bob Falstad, your Law Department attorney, indicated over a week ago
that he would have you call, but apparently he or you felt that this would
be unnecessary.
Since taking over as Vice President and General Manager of the
Semiconductor Operations, I don't know to what extent you have been
briefed on the intolerable situation your factory has created as far as your
neighbors on the north are concerned or the remedial actions supposedly
undertaken in an attempt to cure the problem. Information provided to
me today makes it clear that the Sperry people who have been addressing
this problem have been acting in bad faith.. Specifically, last summer
when the complaints started pouring in, Sperry personnel conducted
certain tests along the north property line and concluded, based upon
those tests, that the noise emissions were within the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency guidelines. Those tests proved to be incomplete and
• inaccurate. Also, as it turns out, Sperry knew that those tests and the
representations being made with respect to them were false or
misleading.
Only after the Eagan City Council passed a resolution' finding Sperry in
violation of the applicable zoning ordinance under which it is operating
did your people initiate any steps to correct the problem. Way last
October, while insisting that it was in compliance with applicable MPCA
regulations, it offered to put sound attenuating equipment on all of the
noise sources on the roof of your building. It later reneged on that
promise as well.
lag
Mr. David Turcotte
February 9, 1984
Page Two
Be that as it may, when it went out to obtain bids on an attenuator to be
placed on the basement ventilating stack, 1 have been informed that it
advised prospective bidders that the noise at the stack was at a level of
104 dB and that the noise level at the property line was 63-65 dB, values
far in excess of the MPCA guidelines and far in excess of the data earlier
provided to Eagan officials.
The Sperry representatives also indicated that a 19 -week lead-time would
be needed to design, procure and install the sound abatement equipment.
That estimate was made back in mid-October at the time that your people
were promising to equip all of the stacks with the attenutors.
Subsequently, the Sperry people decided unilaterally that only one
attenuator would be needed. It did not revise the lead-time downward in •
any fashion, even though the project had been cut way back in scope.
On several occasions over the past months 1 called Mr. Michaud and
inquired whether the sound abatement equipment procurement was on
schedule. He assured me that it was. Then, at the City Council meeting
on February 7, he effectively asked for an additional 6 weeks beyond the
19 weeks originally projected.
1 found out today that the contract for obtaining the attenuator was let on
February 3, 1984, only two days before the City Council meeting. It was
also determined that the cost of the item in question was about $3,000.
The six diverters are estimated to cost an additional $500.00 each. Thus,
the total cost of the fix planned by Sperry is way less than $10,000.
It is almost obscene that a company of your size and stature would subject
the neighboring residents to the noise emissions you have when an
expenditure of such a nominal amount could have resolved the problem. 1 •
think you should require an explanation from the personnel involved as to
why this matter has been allowed to drag on as long as it has and why a
still further six-week extension of time is needed to complete it.
1 venture to say more has been spent by Sperry on meetings about this
problem than on the cost of the noise abatement installation itself.
The mendacity exhibited with respect to the testing and decibel readings
provided by Sperry to City representatives made it necessary for me to
hire a noise expert who undertook to take tests at my home only to verify
what Sperry knew all along, Le, that its noise emissions were well above
those permitted by the MPGA regulations. 1 think it is only fair that
Sperry reimburse me for that outlay.

If Sperry is indeed sincere about wishing to be a "good corporate
neighbor", then it ought to drop the public -be -damned attitude that it has
been exhibiting and take care of its pollution problems.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
During the past month, there has been much discussion in Mendota •
Heights about possible detrimental effects of the proposed Eagan race
track facility on residential areas of our community. In particular,
residents of the Friendly Hills subdivision, located approximately one
mile north of the site, have voiced concern that the race track would lead
to undesireable noise and traffic impacts on their neighborhood. At its
meeting of February 7, 1984, the Council was presented with a petition
signed by 547 persons, expressing their opposition to the racing facility.
In response, the City Council passed a motion to notify you that the
Council, in support of -the majority of its residents living south of TH 110
and east of Lexington Avenue, cannot support the location of a racing facility
in Section 1 of the City of Eagan.
It is planned that a Council/resident informational meeting will be held
in the City of Mendota Heights in early March to review the Environmental •
Impact Statement. Any further Council comments that may emanate from the
review and meeting will be forwarded to you for your timely consideration.

Eagan answers concerns
about racetrack location
On Feb. 6, the Mendota Heights City Council
received a four-page letter from Fagan Administrator
Tom Hedges, giving an "initial response" to concerns
about a proposed horse -racing track in northeast
Eagan" The Mendota Heights council wrote Eagan
Jan. 18 at the request of citizens fearful that a track
would cause increased noise, traffic, crime and diver-
sion of aircraft over Mendota Heights.
Below are excerpts from Hedges' letter.
On diversion of aircraft:
"The City Council has addressed this issue emphat-
ically by a resolution that no request for deviation of
flight path will be permitted by the City of Fagan ...
the developers have agreed with the Metropolitan Air.
Ports Commission (MAC) to grant to MAC a so-called
air easement, which gives to MAC the right to fly air.
craft over the site, together with the right to cause
any noise attendant to the ordinary operation of such
aircraft The applicant has agreed with MAC that this
easement will be executed as a part of its application
to the Minnesota Racing Commission. From the point
of view of our staff, it is hard to conceive of a more
definitive resolution of the matter."
On noise from the track itself:
"The midpoint of the grandstand is located slightly
more than .66 miles due south of the Interstate 494
right-of-way, and separated therefrom by a series of
low-lying hills. (The racetrack is to be built into a
natural bowl between a series of bills.) It is the opin-
ion of our consultants that it is extremely unlikely
that an individual standing on the south border of the
494 right-of-way will be either able to see (at night) or
hear the racetrack ... and that it is inconceivable
there will be a noise impact from the track on resi-
dents living more than a half mile north of the 494
right-of-way."
On increased traffic on Dodd Road (Highway
149) and Delaware Avenue:
"Local roads are expected to experience only minor
increases in traffic. Trunk Highway 149 north of In-
terstate 494 will experience a 5 percent increase in
traffic directly attributable to the racetrack ... Dela-
ware Avenue will have a 7% percent increase in traf-
fic as a result of the racetrack."
On increased crime:
"Che Minnesota Jockey Club will be required to hire
its own security force consisting of fully trained and
certified warrant officers and fire safety person-'
nel ... The Eagan Police and Fire Departments con-:
ducted extensive research on these subjects. Their
opinions, as reported to the Eagan City Council, are
that there does not appear to be an increased demand
for fire service from a racetrack, and there does not
appear to be an increased demand on public safety
Officers, with the possible exception of traffic control,
which will be handled by uniformed, off-duty officers
paid by the racing facility. There appears to be a very
modest amount of peripheral crime, at or below the
level that would be expected in a regional shopping
center.' ..
On the representation of Mendota Heights' inter-
ests in the environmental impact statement done
on the site, expected this month
"Please be assured that the analysis of the impacts
associated with the proposed land use development
(which includes the racetrack) is not at all limited to
the political jurisdiction of Eagan, but rather includes
the entire subregion (including Mendota Heights, Sun-
fish lake and Inver Grove Heights)."

The proposal of a race track at Eagan could be a case of ..much ado
about nothing", according to Frank Svoboda of BRW Planners who
have done the EAW (Environmental Assessment Worksheet) and the
seeping y Club site
development Proposion foral and are woe Laukkaa k ng oneek the EIS (Ennnesota vironmental
Impact Statement).
Svoboda said although Eagan is a strong contender. Blaine and
Shakopee also have already gone through the EAW and other
preparations and are now working on the EIS. And, Woodbury and
Savage are beginning the necessary process.
Svoboda said that although certain aspects will not be addressed in
the EIS, they are looking at housing projections, public services and
the existing zoning in the surrounding communities.
His firm is track which will include reinvolved etailshops, loff ice show opment ofroomsite � and than
'office space.
The track is proposed on 739 acres. Included within the track
development will bea grandstand with initial seatingcapacity for 7,500
Persons and full development seating for 15.000. Grandstand parking
would include 9,100 regular parking spaces with an additional 3,630
spaces to accommodate overflow parking.
Other facilities developed in conjunction with the race track will
include a combination administration/cafeteria building, receiving
barn for incoming horses, water stations, stables, maintenance yard,
exercise area and equipment building.
The track Itself would be one to 1.25 miles in length with 6.5 furlong
chutes situated on the northwest and southeast ends of the oval track.

Anticipated canstructlon costs are $ly million. : -C -- : r - u
If the Eagan site is chosen by the Minnesota Racing Commission as
the one to be developed as a race track n the Twin Cities Metro area,
construction would begin n 1989 with a scheduled completion date of

The racing season would extend frotA June 15 through Sept. 15 with
the events scheduled to take place five days of the week, normally

Proposed site in Eagan:
'Race track plan. spurs
By DORIS KELLEHER
The three areas most affected by
a race track in Eagan would be the
city of Eagan itself, Mendota
Heights, Sunfish lake and Inver
Grove Heights.
Mayor Bill Saed of Inver Grove
Heights, indicated his city council
has continousiy-supported the pro-
posal of a racetrack in Eagan.
"in fact we hoped to see it in the
city of Inver Grove Heights but we
had no appropriate site," Sued said.
He said he can see there will be
many benefits from the track such
as auxiliary businesses springing
up around it which will provide
additional employment.
"it will be a boon to Eagan and
some of it is bound to spill over into
Inver Grove Heights." the mayor
said.
Sunfish lake mayor Duncan
Baird said he and his residents are
..very upset."
"We are planning to have a reso-
lution passed at the next council
meeting opposing the track in
Eagan. It violates all the plans for
northern Dakota County which was
to be a prime residential area. You
don't have this with a race track
WEST- S` PgL\L
ngxt door."
He indicated his city's citizens
are "tired of going to the mat but we
have an impeccable record for
being implacable in resistance."
He said the city was "hurt about
losing the highway suit" but went as
far as they could with it—to the
"Supreme Court".
"We now feel battered with air-
planes, race track and the proposed
highway," Baird said.
He indicated that 62 percent of the
planes go over Sunfish Lake and
although they have tried to operate
through the noise abatement coun-
cil they have had no luck.
"I am not sure what we will do
publicly or privately regarding the
track," Baird said. "We were not
included in the EAW neither was
Mendota Heights."
He said the city has requested
they be included in the EIS. "if we
are not included there is one possi-
bility we could go to court and ask
all operations be suspended until we
are included."
Mendota Heights mayor Bob
Lockwood said his official opinion
was stated in the letter sent to the
Eagan mayor and council following
the Jan. 17 meeting when Friendly
i

Hills residents attended the council
meeting opposing the track at
Eagan.
The letter stated that about 9g
people living in several neighbor-
hoods located near the city's south-
ern boundary attended the council
meeting concerned about the pro-
posed race track.
. 'These residents asked the coun-
cil to take action to oppose the track
but the council declined after due
deliberation and instead voted that
you be advised of the issues that do
pose a concern for both residents
and council members," the letter
continued.
The areas of concern are: rezon-
ing or pressure for changing land
issues between Friendly Hills and
the proposed track: public safety—
the need for additional police and
fire protection as well as increased
crime in the area surrounding the
track: diversion of traffic especially
onto trunk highway 49 and Dela-
ware: noise -anticipated noise of
crow ds and public address sys-
tems, at the site and the possibility

that air traffic will be diverted
northerly of the existing Bight cor-
ridor to avoid contact with track
operations.
It was acknowledged the EIS
would address some of these con-
cerns, the letter stated, as related to
the site in Eagan. But residents
concerned if the EIS addresses
these concerns as they affect the
area beyond the Eagan limits. .
It was specifically requested the
EIS contain the appropriate in-
formation addressing the above is-
sues as they affect Mendota Heights
and the immediate area, the letter
continued.
Although the council declined to
go on record as opposing the pro-
posed track the council members
are obviously concerned with the
above issues as well as other mat-
ters that affect the relationship of
the two local governments, the let-
ter ended.

Mertensotto. "I've received many
dozens of calls against it, and not
one for it."
Councilman Jim I.osleben said
he thought the track would disrupt
life in Mendota Heights, whose
southern border is one-half mil-_
from the proposed tracs,,,
"In the community we have now
we quiet down at the end of the
week," he said. "A racetrack on
that location is going to dramati-
cally change the weekend appear-
ance of Mendota Heights." Mayor
Robert Lockwood also voted to op-
pose the track.
Councilman John Hartmann said
he did not think the evidence
showed the track would be a nui-
sance. He voted against the resolu.
tion. .
"The interesting thing I find here
is that the individual members and
the mayor who voted for it just
happen to be up for reelection," he
said later. "I also find it strange
that Charlie Mertensotto spoke be-
fore against the advisability of a
resolution, and then makes a mo-
tion for the resolution. The
viewpoints of those people werere-
flected, in the letter we sent to
Fagan." -
Witt also said later that she is
ronvinced the track would not be a
nuisance, but that she had ab-
stained because she "really didn't
want to stir up the pot anymore."
Witt, who -is deputywas accused clerkclerk of

III of having a conflict of interest,
Mendota Heights attorney Sher-
man Winthrop said he did not know
if Witt would have had a conflict of

According to Cummins, who
spoke on behalf of the petitioners,
immediate opposition by Mendota!
Heights is necessary because the
time allotted between public hear-
ings on proposed track sites and
the selection of a site is too short
for effective opposition. Under the
schedule set by the Minnesota Rac-
ing Commissions, applications
would be due March 1, hearings
would be held the week of March
12, and a decision would be made
March 28.
Mendota Heights residents,
Cummins said, will continue to col-
lect signatures on their petition.
"We're continually Finding peo-
ple who are not aware it's so close
to our border, they still believe it's
in 'distant Eagan,"' he said. "We

Tiny Sunfish Lake, long frustrat-
ed in its fight against Interstate
494, has entered a new fray on its
southwest frontier.
The Sunfish Lake Council voted
4-0 last week against the proposed
horseracing track site in north-
west Eagan, becoming the first
city council to formally oppose one
of the eight proposed track sites.
'Sunfish Lake was joined a day lat-
er by Mendota Heights, In which
the council, by a vote of 3=1 with
one abstention, decided to register
its opposition to the Eagan site.
Sunfish Lake Mayor Duncan
Baird said he had known as early
as last summer that the site was
nearby, but did nothing until he
heard Mendota Heights residents
bad mobilized against it. Eagan, he
said, "is a very large community
with a lot of muscle."
I'd been very concerned about
lt,".-Baird said. "Suddenly it oc-
curred
rBurred to me'l wasn't alone any-
-more." '
Despite his concem, Baird did
not attend any of the public hear-
ings held in Eagan on rezoning and
financing for the track. "I muffed
the ball," he said.
A racetrack, Baird said, would
have "a terribly adverse impact"
on Sunfish Lake, a 1% -Square -
mile, semi -rural community of ex-
pensive homes at Eagan's north-
east tip.
"This whole area is designed to
be a high-class bedroom area, and
to put a racetrack in the middle of
it is bad news," he said. "Generally
you get a bunch of things that are
not desirable. When you live in an
area like this and people are flock-
ing all over, the results are inevita-
ble. They'll be poking down our
driveways, picnicking on our
lawns, and throwing garbage
around. Do we want a whorehouse
across the street?"
Sunfish Lake will be separated
from Eagan by 1494 and from the
site itself by one-half mile, but cars
will still have access from Dela- .
ware Avenue and South Robert.

decision
likely by
mid-April
By Robert Whereatt
Staff writer
The decision on who will build and
operate Minnesota's first parimutuel
horse racing track Is expected to be
made by cold -April. the Chairman
Ray Eliot of the Minnesota Racing
OnUnIsslon said Tuesday.
Though there are eight prospective
groups with sites vying for the It -
cease that will be Laved for a track
In the seven -county metropolitan
area. Eliot said he believes only four
or five applications for the license
will be submitted to the commission,
Some could drop out of the competi-
tion because they cannot meet dead-
lines or because the application
process is so expensive.
The nine -member commission adopt-
ed rules yesterday that will be used
to decide which group gets the IM
cense. The deadline for applications
is 5 p.m., March 1,
"I expect them all (to be submitted) l
at quarter to five on March I," Eliot
said.
"It probably is going to take us 45
days to go through them (after the
deadline)," Eliot said. "I think we
-can arrive at a decision Inside of 45
days."
Eliot. also said that the hack could
open 14 or 15 months atter the It -
cease Is Issued. That would put the
opening date In June or July of 1985.
The chairman has said that it would
"take a miracle" to open a track In
1985. He said yesterday that a mlr.

April racetrack
selection is seen
By George Baran
Staff Writer
Ray Eliot, Minnesota Racing
Commission chairman, predicted
Tuesday that the racetrack to
serve the Twin Cities area will be
selected in April and could run its
first horse races by July 1985.
Eliot said his optimistic timeta-
ble assumes that no lawsuits Will
be filed to challenge the commis-
sion's licensing process. Track li-
cense applications must be submit-
ted to the commission by Marro 1.
Eight suburban sites in Dakota,
Washington, Anoka and Scott coun-
ties have been proposed for the $50
million track. The commission ex-
pects to get formal license applica-
tions for six oro re of the sites.
The contenders include Fagan,
Farmington, Hastings, Woodbury,
Blaine, Lino Lakes -Centerville,
Shakopee and Savage.
Track construction would be de-
layed in event a lawsuit challenges
the licensing process or someone
petitions the Metropolitan Council
to determine whether the track has
metropolitan significance, requir-
ing more reviews.
The commiecion removed anoth-
er potential problem by approving
a policy banning strikes and lock-
outs during construction of the fa -
Under the policy, a track devel-
oper would have to agree with the
state AFL CIO building trades
council on no strikes or lockouts.
Please,see Track/2C

® Continued from Page t C
The policy was proposed by
Commissioner Dan Gustafson,
Golden V211ey, secretary -treasurer
of the state AFL-CIO.
Fifty rules governing the track
license process received final ap-
proval by the commission after mi-
nor modifications were made at
the suggestion of state bearing ex-
aminers.
The commission also received a
county fair racing request from the
Traverse County Racing Commis-
sion based in Wheaton.
James Schoenrock, chairman of
the.group, said that the fair would
like to have five days of thorough-
bred and quarterhorse races begin -
Ding next year. He said the group is
ready to spend $50,000 to upgrade
its horse barns and track for pari-
mutuel racing.
Eliot advised the group that it
may have to spend more money

Dear Mayor Blomquist:
• Our Development Corporation has followed the Horse Racing
Facility issue with a great deal of interest. Recently,
the Board endorsed the Eagan site.
In addition, the Board requested that a notice of this
action be sent to the Mayors of area communities, along
with a request that similar action to considered by those
communities.
Copies of the letters to those Mayors are enclosed, along
with a copy of the accompanying resolution.
If you feel there is any additional work that we could do,
please don't hesitate to let us know.
Sincerely,
George Kis an
President

- The Inver Grove Heights Development Corporation has evaluated the pro-
posed sites for the Twin Cities Horse Racing facility, and supports the
site proposed for the City of Eagan.
The Development Corporation believes that with the completion of I-494
and the reconstruction of Minnesota 49, and with the transportation network
formed by other highways in the vicinity, the Eagan site is the most access-
ible one to the horse racing facility's primary and secondary markets.
Furthermore, its accessibility to the Twin Cities Metropolitan Airport pro-
vides an additional convenience for non -local owners, breeders, trainers,
and fans.
Additionally, the rural nature of Dakota County, the excellent local
transportation network in the county, and the availability of land for
small acreage farms, combine to offer facilities and amenities that will
encourage and foster the horse -breeding industry.
The Development Corporation further believes that the project propon- •
ents have prepared a development plan that addresses the health and safety
concerns of the public, the comfort requirements of racing patrons and
participants, and the financing requirements of the investment community.
The inclusion in the development plan of sites that will adequately accom-
modate the supporting commercial services needed by the public is an in-
telligent land use decision that will be instrumental in preventing future
congestion.
Finally, the Development Corporation views the Project Review Procedures
conducted by the City of Eagan, and the city's subsequent approval of all
aspects of the proposal, as evidence of both a thorough examination of the
project's potential impacts, and of enthusiastic citizen support for the
project. The citizens and officials of the City of Eagan are commended
for their thorough and expeditious review of the proposal.
For those reasons, as well as because of the projected new employment
and additional taxable valuation which the horse racing facility will gen- •
erate, the Inver Grove Heights Development Corporation supports the Eagan
site, urges the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Racing Commission
to designate it as the Twin Cities' Horse Racing Facility, and urges the
City of Inver Grove Heights to consider action supporting the Eagan pro-
posal.

Enclosed herewith please find the cost participation associated with the above
referenced project as it relates to State Project 1985-76 (T.H. 494-393).
The City cost participation based on the Schedule I dated September 26, 1983
does not include increasing the GE for West Blue Gentian to 20. Recent phone
conversations with Mn/DOT indicate the City share would increase by $19,000
while the actual construction cost would increase $64,000. Due to time'con-
straint associated with bidding S.P. 1985-76, the GE increase will be accomp-
lished with a supplemental agreement after the bid date. A summary of the
City cost participation for S.P. 1985-76 is summarized below:
CITY PARTICIPATION
• Schedule I, 9-26-83 $25,105.21
GE 20 West Blue Gentian Road 19,000.00
Sub -Total $44,105.21
+ 4.31% Mobilization, Field Office, Traffic Control, Etc. 1,901.50
Sub -Total $46,006.71
8% Construction Engineering 3,680.54
TOTAL CITY .................... $49,687.24
Therefore it is assumed that Mn/DOT portion will be the project cost for
street less the City participation ($429,390 - $49,687.24 - $379,700) as
shown on the Summary for Revenue Sources.

BLUE GER71M ROAD — PROJECT #349 - HEARIN
Mayor Bea Blomquist convened the public hearing concerning Project 4349
consisting of streets and storm sewer improvements in the Blue Gentian Road
area. Mr. Colbert introduced the project and Consulting Engineer Bob Rosene
detailed the feasibility report. A letter from attorney Howard Stacker on
behalf of RES Investment Company and 494 Investment Company requesting that
assessment issues be forwarded to the special assessment committee, was also
introduced. After review of the project, interested persons in the audience
had questions or made presentations.
Mary O'Neill from the O'Neill Homestead area questioned whether there was
• benefit to the O'Neill First Addition by the proposed improvements. The
relocation of Blue Gentian Road and the MnDOT acquisition of right-of-way
north of the O'Neill First Addition was discussed. MnDOT has indicated that
it would turn back that area of land and that the City could then vacate or
convey the property to the adjoining property owners in the event the property
owners so desire. There was considerable discussion concerning the alignment
of Blue Gentian Road west of Trunk Highway 0149 and it was noted the alignment
was intended to align with the.entrance road of the Laukka-Beck commercial
center. There were questions about the assessment method against the O'Neill
area. Agnus Polzin was present and stated that no notice had been sent to the
owners in her area but it was explained that that area will not be assessed.
There were also questions about cutting down traffic on Blue Gentian Road and
methods intended to be utilized, including signing, and the fact that the road
will be in a rough condition which should discourage traffic. After 45
minutes of discussion, Egan moved, Smith seconded the motion to close the
public hearing and approve Project 0349 with the understanding that !the con-
cerns of Mr. Stacker will be forwarded to the Assessment Committee;; further
that the concerns of the O'Neill family will be reviewed by the staff and the
council. Councilman Wachter suggested that the alignment of Blue Gentian Road
to the west of 0149 run south of the residential area, but it was noted that
there was no plans for development of that land at the present time. IThose in
favor were Blomquist, Smith, Egan and Thomas; Wachter voted no.

I -35B STREETS AND UTILITIES - PROJECT /372
The next public hearing convened by Mayor Blomquist concerned street and
utility crossings of I -35E, under Project 0372. The feasibility report was
reviewed by Mr. Colbert and Mr. Rosene consisting of a detailed report cover-
ing all of the proposed installations of utilities and street work. Mr.
Colbert indicated that it was important that the Council make a decision on
the installation at the present time before the highway construction is com-
menced. There was considerable discussion concerning proposed assessments,
including street improvements. John Klein appeared on behalf of Leo Murphy
and had questions concerning street assessments on the Murphy property. He
suggested the Assessment Committee review the issues and had questions about
access to Deerwood Drive and the Murphy road from the Murphy property.
Marlene Dolling from Deerwood Drive, questioned assessments for streets along
Deerwood Drive and it was noted that the City has participated in the cost and
will assess normal City residential equivalents for residential property
benefited by the improvements. John Klein also appeared for Francis Franz and
questioned the assessments where MnDOT pays for the cost. Mr. Colbert
explained the City cost participation and Mr. Klein asked that the issues be
referred to the assessment committee. After one hour of discussion and re- •
view, Smith moved, Wachter seconded the motion to close the public hearing and
approve Project 0372, including the preparation of detailed plans and specifi-
cations, noting the property owners can request referral to the Assessment
Committee for proposed assessments. All voted in favor.
GEORGE & MIRIAA HALL - VARIANCE - PILOT KNOB ROAD
The application of George and Miriam Nall for a variance from the five
acre provison, in order to keep horses on a 4 1/2 acre parcel on Deerwood
Drive and Pilot Knob Road, was next brought before the Council. Mr. Dale
Runkle, City Planner, reviewed the application and noted that the Advisory
Planning Commission had recommended denial for specific reasons. Since the
Advisory Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has discussed the issues
with the neighbors and it was recommended that in the event that the Council
approve the application, it be subject to the following: That a special
permit be on a one year basis, that the permit be limited to three horses with
adequate storage of grain, hay and disposal of manure and also adequate fences
be installed. Miriam Nall was present as were Alyce and Ted Bolke. The
Bolkes indicated there were no objections from neighbors if those conditions
outlined above were implemented. Ms. Nall indicated that the applicant would
conform with all City requirements and it was recommended that a three -wire
fence with corner braces be included. Smith moved, Wachter seconded the
motion to approve the application based upon the conditions mentioned above.
Those in favor were Smith and Wachter; those against were Blomquist and Egan; •
Thomas abstained and the motion failed.

PERRY KIIEFFER - DODD ROAD - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
The application of Perry Kieffer for conditional use permit for commer-
cial storage facilities in an agriculturally zoned district on Dodd Road was
presented to the Council. The Advisory Planning Commission recommended
approval subject to conditions on the 5 acre parcel. After a brief discus-
sion, it was noted that the applicant was not present. Smith moved, Egan
seconded the motion to continue the application until the applicant appears
later in the meeting. All voted in favor.
SUNSET 4TH ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The next application presented to the Council was the application of Tri -
Land Company and Brad Swenson for preliminary plat approval of Sunset 4th
Addition, consisting of 15.16 acres with 32 single family lots. The Advisory
Planning Commission recommended approval of the application, subject to condi-
tions. Dale Runkle introduced the application and reviewed the proposed
street access from the west from Northview Meadows and explained the rough-
ness of the topography. There was a question from Councilmembers concernng.
• the bubble from the lots to the north, and the normal objection to the use of
bubbles on streets. Brad Swenson was present as was Laura Marks on behalf of
the applicant and explained the reasons for not splitting the south tier of
lots, due to the steep terrain. He noted there was up to 18% slope and that
the Comprehensive Plan recommends that lots not be approved in a maximum of
15%• He stated that neighborhood meetings have been held and everyone present
at the meetings supported the design. He also noted there is a transition
from smaller to larger lots from north to south and discussed Hackmore Drive.
There was considerable discussion concerning the extension of Hackmore
Drive to serve the property to the south and the need for funding of the road
and utility improvements in Hackmore Drive. Mr. Sauter, a neighboring owner,
submitted a letter and Mr. Travers, a property owner to the southeast, to-
gether with other property owners in the general area were present. Gordon
King was also present and recommended the outlots on the south tier of, lots be
included to protect the King land to the south so that the cost of the road
and utility improvements could be shared. Mr. Travers favored large lot
transition and Tom Colbert recommended that the property owner either provide
for outlots on the south portion of the south tier of lots, or the posting of
an escrow sufficient to cover future streets and utility improvements within
the street. After lengthy discussion, Smith moved, Egan seconded the motion
to approve the application, subject to the following conditions:
1. That the applicant be required to escrow sufficient funds ,to cover
proposed street and utility improvements for Hackmore Drive.
