HOLMES ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The continued public hearing regarding the application of Paul Holmes for
preliminary plat approval of proposed Holmes Addition consisting of approxi-
mately l acre, intending to include two single family lots, located near the
intersection of Quarry Lane and Towerview Road, was convened by Chairman Wold.
Dale Runkle reviewed the application that had been continued from the last
meeting and noted that the Planning Commission had requested additional infor-
mation regarding the upgrading of Towerview Road, adjacent to the subdivision.
Mr. Hefti stated that the staff had researched the status of Towerview Road,
east of Quarry Lane, and noted that a bituminous mat and concrete curbing are
in place along the south portion of Towerview Road at that location, adjacent
to the Ed Reid property. The recommendation of the engineering department
would be to upgrade the public improvements within Towerview Road to city
standards in front of Holmes Addition, but that an alternate would be to
escrow funds for future improvements.
City Attorney Paul Hauge also reviewed several alternates, including the
upgrading of the street, improvement of only that portion of Towerview Road in
front of the Holmes Addition, escrowing funds sufficient for the future up-
grading, no upgrading and simply acquiring necessary easement right-of-way, or
the potential for a homeowners agreement amongst the property owners to the
east for maintenance of Towerview Road in that location. Mark Tompkins and
Paul Holmes were present and requested that the road area be released from any
• requirement for public improvements. Ed Reid was also present as were other
owners to the east. Mr. Holmes also objected to the requirement for an
escrow.

There were questions from the Planning Commission members as to what
areas would be assessed for benefit purposes and it was noted the estimated
C cost was about $8,200.00 for water main and street improvements. Jerry Rogers
appeared and was concerned about long-term costs for improvement of the hill
to the east. Member Wilkins was concerned about improving the street to Pilot
Knob Road at the present time and indicated that the property owners objected
to that type of improvement. The main issue was whether to recommend upgrad-
ing at the present time or in the future and provide for assessments in the
future. Mr. Hefti indicated it would be difficult to get approval of the
property owners in Holmes Addition for future upgrading after the platting is
completed, and further noted the high cost of maintenance for gravel surfaced
streets. Wilkins moved, Mulrooney seconded the motion to recommend approval
of the application for preliminary plat approval, subject to the following
conditions:
1. Adequate right-of-way shall be dedicated for Towerview Road as
determined by the City.
2. A 10 foot front setback variance shall be granted for Lots 1 and 2
of the proposed plat.
• 3. The plat shall be reviewed by the Department of natural Resources
for their comments.
4. Park dedication shall be provided as requested by the Advisory Park
Commission.
5.. All other applicable ordinances shall be adhered to.

submitted for approval.
7. An adequate turnaround shall be provided at the end of Towerview
Road.
8. The existing 20 foot easement shall be dedicated as public right-of-
way for Towerview Road.
9. A ponding easement shall be required to be dedicated to encompass
the high water elevation of LeMay's Lake.
10. This development shall be responsible for trunk area water and storm
sewer asssessments at the rate in effect at the time of final platting.
11. .All costs associated with public improvements shall be the sole
responsibility of this development.
• 12. All easements shall be dedicated as required by staff in the Engi-
neering Report.

All voted in favor except Wold, who voted no, indicating he supported the
City policy as to the improvements.
SUNSET 5TH ADDITION - PRELI1IINARY PLAT
Mr. Runkle indicated the City Council formally reviewed the preliminary
plat application of Joseph Hoffman for the approval of Sunset 5th Addition at
the Council's meeting on March 6, 1984. The Council had serious concerns
pertaining to direct driveway access onto Dodd Road with the potential for a
future side lot along the single family lot and no committed public right-of-
way, being of record or even reviewed, to determine if this is the most
appropriate location. There were questions about access to Dodd Road, whether
an easement would be provided over the property to the north and access to the
remainder of the Lexington South property to the west. Brad Swenson appeared
for the applicant and explained the proposal for the development of the land
to the west and the proposed moving of the church location. There were
concerns about additional access points on to Dodd Road, but it was proposed
that turn-arounds on each individual lot be provided. Mr. Swenson indicated
that the property owner to the north would agree to a 60 foot easement north
of the 5th Addition. There was no written committment from Lexington South as
to the 60 foot easement. After extended discussion, Wold moved, Wilkins
seconded the motion to recommend to the Council the following:
1. That each lot in the 5th Addition would be allowed an individual
access with an interior turn -around.
2. That the surrounding ]and uses appear to warrant the location for an
access road to the north on to Dodd Road.
3. The Planning Commission reaffirms the approval of the conditions for
approval of the preliminary plat.
C 4. That the preliminary plat be conditioned upon written committment
from the owner to the north, that it will convey a 60 foot road easement.
All voted in favor.

BOBBARD BROADCASTING CO. - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
C The public hearing regarding the application of Hubbard Broadcasting Co.
and Fairview Company for conditional use permit to allow pylon advertising
sign in an area zoned Roadside Business near the intersection of I -35E and
Cliff Road was then convened. Mr. Runkle reviewed the application and stated
that Roadside Business Zoning would allow an advertising sign, the 20 foot
setback from the right-of-way is being adhered to, the sign would be 40 feet
from the base to the top of the sign and it would contain 242 square feet
under the maximum allowed of 250 square feet. It did not appear that the
application violated the Sign Ordinance provisions. A representative from the
applicant was present. Member Wilkins indicated that the City has not allowed
advertising signs on undeveloped property in the past. The representative
indicated that most likely the sign will be removed when the land is
developed. Krob moved, Mulrooney seconded the motion to approve the applica-
tion, subject to the sign meeting all of the criteria set forth in Section 4.2
of the Eagan City Code. All voted in favor.
DRENC®AHN - REZONING
The hearing of Allan and Baerbel Drenckhahn to rezone approximately .06
acres from A (Agricultural) to RB (Roadside Business) located on the west side
of Pilot Knob Road, south of #494 was next convened by the Chairman. The
property is zoned Agricultural and the property around it is basically zoned
RB (Roadside Business). The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates the land as
RB. The applicants intend to relocate their hair grooming business and also
import gift shop business from their home to the south on Pilot Knob Road, and
potentially would build a restaurant on the site in three to five years. The
staff reviewed certain alternates such as special permit to allow the gift
shop and hairdressing business until such time as the applicant is ready to
construct or expand the home into the restaurant that is being proposed.
Member Wilkins stated the policy of the City is that no rezoning would be
allowed until the preliminary plat application is submitted and approved.
There was discussion concerning parking and setbacks. Mr. and Mrs. Drenckhahn
were present and indicated that they would favor reviewing the potential for a
C preliminary plat at the present time. There were no objections from sur-
rounding property owners. Also, it was noted that generally, the City does
not allow retail sales where only a hairdressing salon is permitted. Krob
moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to continue the hearing until the next
regular meeting to permit the applicant to review the potential for submitting
an application for preliminary plat approval. All voted in favor.

JOHNNY CANE RIDGE FIFTH ADDITION - REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT
CThe public hearing regarding the application of U. S. Homes Corporation
for revised preliminary plat of Johnny Cake Fourth Addition into Johnny Cake
Fifth Addition was presented to the Planning Commission. The proposal is to
replat a portion of the northeast part of the townhouse development to allow
splitting four-plex units for the construction of two double units adjacent to
each other, using the same driveway approach as originally approved. It was
understood the square footage of the units would increase slightly when chang-
ing the tuck -under garages to attached garages at the ends of the units. Dale
Runkle explained the proposal, which includes essentially zero lot lines.
Robert Hoffman, attorney, appeared for the applicant, as did Bill Fierke, Jim
Nervig, Chuck Winden and Bill Allen. It was noted that the proposal is
somewhat of a hybrid approach without strict precedent in the City.
A number of neighboring property owners were present with concerns about
reduction in property value, effect upon their association, etc. Mr. Hoffman
stated that the development could provide for a new Homeowners Association.
After considerable discussion, Mr. Hoffman requested that the application be
• continued to allow the applicant to meet with the neighboring representatives.
Mulrooney moved, Krob seconded the motion to continue the hearing until the
next regular meeting in April 1984. All voted in favor.

The hearings were then convened regarding the application of U. S. Homes
Corporation to rezone approximately 50 acres from R-4 (Residential Multiple)
to R-1 PD (Residential Single District) with lot sizes which deviate from the
R-1 zoning standards located in the West 1/2 of the Southwest 1/4 of Section
14 along and adjacent to Lexington Avenue. The second application was for
preliminary plat approval of Lexington Place South containing 134 single
family lots. Mr. Runkle noted that the parcel is zoned R-4 with an approved
preliminary plat consisting of 360 dwelling units. The Comprehensive Guide
designates the parcel R -II with a density of 6 units per acre. The proposed
plan does conform as to density with approximately 7.2 dwelling units per
acre. The gross density is 2.7 units per acre and the net density is about
4.0 units per acre, excluding street right-of-way and proposed open space.
(` Mr. Runkle explained the zero lot line proposal and Mr. Hoffman appeared and
stated that some roadway changes have been included in the proposal. The
proposal calls for courtyard arrangements with setbacks provided at the side
of each home with a perpetual easement granted adjacent for courtyard. The
sale price will be $80,000.00 to $105,000.00. It was noted that there will be
a homeowners association. Mr. Hoffman estimated there would be 800 fewer
trips per day than the original proposal. A preliminary grading plan will be
• submitted if the Planning Commission recommends approval and would be avail-
able before consideration by the City Council.

Barry Tilley, a neighboring owner, appeared and favored the reduction in
density from 360 to 134 R-1 units. He noted the City has requested that a
C sanitary sewer easement be acquired, possibly across his property, and was
also concerned about the pond at the southeast corner of the applicant's
property, which could create additional water problems on his 5 acre parcel.
The applicant indicated that there would be no additional run off to the
south. Member Wilkins favored the rezoning to R-1. Twenty lots would be at
the 6,600 minimum square footage, and the largest lots would be located in the
southeast corner. Square footages of the units would be 935 square feet,
1,151 square feet and 1,704 square feet.
Member Krob questioned whether the common area should be credited for
park purposes and it was understood that the Park Committee will not do so.
The frontage of all the lots are 60 feet except corner lots, and it is re-
quested that interior lots be allowed a 20 foot setback from the corners,
rather than 30 feet.
There appear to be precedents as to the small lot sizes and it was noted
that the Park Committee desires a 10 to 15 acre parcel for park purposes to
the south and east. Member Wold suggested architectural review and Mr. Hof-
fman stated
of-
fman,stated that U. S. Homes will build all the units in the development, and
the developer will control the architectural style. It was recommended that
the models proposed to be installed, be included in the exhibit in the Planned
Development Agreement. After extensive discussion, Krob moved, Wilkins
seconded the motion to recommend approval of the rezoning application to R-1
Planned Development. All voted in favor, except Mulrooney who voted no. Krob
then moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to recommend approval of the prelimi-
nary plat application, subject to the following conditions:
1. Adequate rights-of-way shall be dedicated for all of the public
streets in this development proposal.
2. The plat shall be reviewed by the Dakota County Plat Commission
because the plat abuts County rights-of-way.

BRITTANY 7TH ADDITION - REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT
CThe public hearing concerning the application of Tollefson Builders, Inc.
for rezoning, 30 acres from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Residential Single) and
for preliminary plat approval of Brittany 7th Addition, consisting of 30 acres
with 50 single family lots was convened by Chairman Mike Wold. Dale Runkle
reviewed the application and indicated that the property is guided as R -I and
the preliminary plat would consist of 1.6 dwelling units per acre. He noted
that there were proposed cul-de-sacs because of the very rough terrain and the
staff recommended that the two easterly cul-de-sacs be connected along the
ridge only, rather than at the very ends of the cul-de-sacs. The lots all
conform with the minimum standards and it was noted a neighborhood park is
proposed to be acquired in the northern portion of the 120 -acre John Brown
property from which farm this 7th Addition would be taken. Two of the three
cul-de-sacs would require a variance. One is 510 feet and another at about
720 feet. Bill Dolan, Engineer, appeared on behalf of Tollefson Builders, and
indicated that the 510 foot cul-de-sac will be shortened to conform. Joe
O'Shaughnessy, a neighbor, was concerned about the increase in traffic until
access to the east or north is installed. He suggested that methods be
• employed to reduce the speed through the development to the west. It was
noted that some methods are additional signing and strict enforcement of speed
limits. Mr. Dolan stated there would be a significant amount of trees removed
and a great deal of additional cost if the two cul-de-sacs were connected.
Chairman Wold stated it did not appear to be practical to out an additional
swap of land and trees in a heavily wooded area and also noted the very rough
terrain. Wilkins moved, Mulrooney seconded the motion to recommend approval
of the application for rezoning to R-1 and further, of preliminary plat
approval, subject to the following conditions:
1. A detailed grading, drainage, erosion and sediment control plan
shall be submitted and reviewed by the City staff prior to final plat
approval.
2. Temporary turn-arounds shall be provided at the ends of each of the
stubbed streets proposed in this development and setback' shall be permitted
assuring no turn arounds are installed.
3. One variance shall be allowed on the middle cul-de-sac as proposed
in the preliminary plat to prepare the existing trees and terrain.
4. No lot shall be below 12,000 square feet or 85 foot width at the 30
foot setback.
5. The applicant shall meet all other City ordinance requirements in
regard to setbacks or residential homes and lot coverage.
• 6. The plat shall be subject to the Park Commission's recommendation
for park dedication.

PEACE REFORMED CHURCH OF EACAN - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The hearing regarding the application of Peace Reformed Church of Eagan
for preliminary plat approval of Peaceful Heights consisting of approximately
14 acres and containing one lot and one outlot located along the west side of
Nicols Road and south of Diffley Road, was then considered by the Planning
Commission. Dale Runkle reviewed the proposal, briefly noting that the parcel
is zoned Public Facility and that the platted lot would include the new
proposed Peace Reformed Church building and use of the outlot is unknown at
the present time. The applicant is proposing to provide access to the outlot
through the cul-de-sac separating Outlot A from Lot 1, common access from
Nicols Road. Parking would be 1 space for each 3.5 seats, according to the
plan. Dick Lundahl, the architect, was present and stated that the cul-de-sac
would be installed to City standards and would be dedicated to the City, but
` would require a length variance. There were no objections to the application.
Kroh moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to recommend approval of the applica-
tion, subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat shall be subject to MnDOT review and comment because the
plat abuts State right-of-way.
• 2. The plat shall also be subject to Dakota County Plat Commission's
review and comment because Nicols Road is still a County Road.

acres with 168 dwelling units, located on Lot 1, Block 1, and Lot 1, Block 2,
Wescott Hills Addition on Yankee Doodle Road was convened by the Chairman.
City Planner, Dale Runkle, detailed the application, noting the Comprehensive
Guide Plan provides for R -III (Mixed Residential) with a•density of 6 - 12
units per acre in the proposal which would. contain 42 four -unit buildings with
three stories in height, and it would appear to comply with the use. There
would be 168 dwelling units with a net density of 13.7 dwelling units per
acre. The property is zoned R-4 and it was staffs understanding that there
would be 2.5 parking spaces per unit. The applicant will request the City
Council vacate a portion of Rost Road between Trails End Road and Wescott
Hills Drive, noting that the street has never been cut in, has never been
approved and is a very old street. Greg Frank and Ken Tschida were present
and there were questions concerning whether Kost Road should vacated and the
staff generally recommended approval. An internal private drive is being
proposed within the subdivision. The approved width would be 32 feet, in-
cluding an 8 foot easement behind each curb. There were no objections from
surrounding owners as to the application or to the proposed vacation. Ali
drainage will be retained within the project site and the same architectural
• theme will be used throughout. Wilkins moved, Merkley seconded the motion to

CGROUP W ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The hearing regarding the application of Group W Cable, Inc. for prelimi-
nary plat approval of Group W Addition was then presented to the Planning
Commission. The proposal is to cover 1.8 acres with one lot located in the
southwest quarter of Section 19, lying between Old Highway #13 and Old Sibley
Memorial Highway. In addition, application for conditional use permit for the
proposed Cable T.V. tower to exceed the normal height was brought under the
Wind Energy and Tower Ordinance provision. Both the studio and tower for the
cable television system for Eagan -Burnsville will be located on the site and
in addition, five satellite dishes are being proposed. The City Code also
requires that a tower shall be located on the property so that if the tower
were to collapse or fall, it would fall entirely on the property it is con-
structed on.' In the proposed location, this would not be true and therefore a
variance would be required if the application were approved. In addition, a
small variance for the building setback, due to its configuration would be
required.
• James W. Commers and Ray Connally appeared for the applicant and noted
that the tower structure would not include guy wires, but would be a self-
contained structure. Roger Slater who owns 1.2 acres to the north and 3 acres
to the south appeared and objected to the application stating it would destroy
the value of the 1.2 acre parcel of property around the plat. Mark Parranto,
the agent for the owners to the south, also appeared and indicated that no
plan has been prepared for the development of the property that he represented
and he objected to any proposed assessments for Old Highway #13 street im-
provements or for watermain improvements at the present time. He stated that
his client had no objection to the development but objected to the upgrading
of the road and watermain at the present time.' Neil Heine, who owns and lives
on the residence directly to the north appeared and requested a continuance
for additional study. He objected to the T.V. tower because of its alleged
offensive site and its height.
Mr. Commers stated that he expected the tower would be no higher than 100
feet and described the proposed construction to the Planning Commission mem-
bers and those present. He indicated that it is only a receiving signal tower
and there should be no electrical interference to any property owners in the
area. He also stated that Group W would be covered by liability insurance
backed by Western Electric Corporation. He stated that the applicant has
investigated many sites in the Eagan -Burnsville area and noted that the tower
could be moved to the west side of the building and it would not then, in the
event of collapse, fall on neighboring property. Recommendations included all
permits, including those from the FAA, should be applied for and acquired and
• Mr. Commers stated that such applications are now in process. The schedule is
to complete the building by September 1, 1984 and solicit subscribers in
November of 1984.

The neighboring owners continued to object even with the reduction in
C height and the relocation. Krob moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to recom-
mend approval of the application, noting that it is important that the site be
located in Eagan, and the fact that there appear to be very few sites avail-
able for such facilities, subject to the following conditions:
1. The parking area shall be surfaced with concrete curbing around the
perimeter of the driving aisles and parking area.
2. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be
submitted and reviewed prior to the final plat approval.
3. Old Sibley Highway should be upgraded to a minimum standard City
street with the approval of this plat adjacent to this property.
4. A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted and approved by the
City prior to the final plat, and an adequate landscape bond shall be sub-
mitted and not released until one year after the landscaping has been com-
pleted.
• 5. The plat should be reviewed by Minnesota Highway Department of
Transportation because the plat abuts highway rights-of-way.
6. The proposed tower shall be located on the west side of the building
and all necessary permits shall be acquired.
7. The necessary sewer and water connection permits shall be obtained
prior to final plat approval.
8. Easements shall be dedicated as stated in this report or as required
by staff.
9. This development shall be responsible for its assessments for 175
feet of lateral benefit trunk water main at the rate in effect at the time of
final platting.
10. Any additional costs for improving this lot shall be the sole re-
sponsibility of this development.
All voted in favor except Merkley who abstained and stated that he had a
potential conflict of interest. Krob then moved to recommend approval of the
conditional use permit with the condition that the tower not exceed 100 feet,
that the City Engineer review and aprove the tower specifications, that the
tower be constructed to withstand at least 100 mile per hour winds, that the
City review the liability policy and that the applicant meet all other re-
quired ordinance provisions. Wilkins seconded the motion and all voted in
favor except Merkley who abstained.

CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL 1ST ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
AND AMENDMENT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
CThe hearing concerning the application of Woodd ale Inc. and James J.
Durning for amendment to planned development and preliminary plat for Cedar
Cliff Commercial 1st Addition was then convened. The proposal was to amend
the 100% commercial site to allow 4.59 acres of commercial use in the south-
west portion of Outlot G of the planned development and the balance to be used
for office purposes in the Cedar Cliff planned development office complex
consisting of a total of 15.8 acres. It was noted that the balance of the
planned development has now been developed and it was noted the City has
approved the preliminary plat but the County had not accepted the plat in the
area because of access on Nicols Road. The proposed commercial area would
contain a total of 24,000 square feet with 2,000 square feet for each of the
two buildings proposed. 339 parking spaces will be provided with one space
for each 70 square feet. The remaining office area would contain 8.85 acres
and would contain 6 additional office sites. The applicant is proposing to
provide an overall grading plan for the particular site and to grade the
commercial site in the first phase and at the same time install 6 foot earthen
• berms along the northerly property line separating the residential area. Jim
Durning and his engineer were present and answered questions from the Planning
Commission members and from residents that were present. A number of resi-
dents were present and others, because of the late hour, had left earlier in
the meeting.
The proposal would provide for looped streets in and out to Nicols Road
in the commercial area and the office area would have separate access to
Nicols Road and Scott Trail. The neighbors present strongly objected to
access to Scott Trail and at a neighborhood meeting the previous night, they
had discussed the proposed project. The revised site plan was submitted at
the Planning Commission meeting without a direct outlet to Scott Trail. Mr.
Durning stated that he would conform with the neighbors' objection, that there
be no viieo arcade or nightclubs and no 24 hour business operations.
A petition from neighboring residents was submitted objecting to several
aspects of the project. Three office sites on the east would have access on
the north side of the commercial parcel to Nicols Road. Mr. Durning also
stated that he would install evergreen landscaping along the berm to further
shield the two areas.
Steve Darling, another neighboring property owner who was present, dis-
cussed the proposal and opposed commercial use because of the heavy commercial
in the general area. Some neighbors recognized that there would not be
development within the parcel until some commercial is approved. Mr. Durning
stated that it was his opinion that about 50% of the tenants in the commercial
• buildings would be office uses and that a PDQ would be the anchor with re -

stricted hours of 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. It was also expected that the
C Hillcrest development owners to the west of Nicols Road will ask for more
access points on Nicols Road, noting that Mr. Durning is requesting at least
three accesses from Cedar Cliff Commercial Park. Mr. Durning objected to the
proposed continuity of architectural design between the commercial and office
buildings,.noting it is not practical to require the office buildings to
comply with the same design. After extended discussion, Wilkins moved, Krob
seconded the motion to recommend the City Council approve the application
subject to the following:
1. To recommend approval of the application to amend the Cedar Cliff
Planned Development, which would include the revised site plan.
2. That the commercial tenants not be allowed to stay open more than
from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
3• That there be no video arcades, nightclubs or similar uses.
4. Further, that an architectural theme for the commercial buildings be
• reviewed by the Advisory Planning Commission.
All voted yes. Mr. Durning objected to the requirements of the con-
tinuity of architectural design between the commercial and office complexes
noting that it would not be practical to require the owners of the office
buildings to comply with the same design as the commercial center. Wilkins
then moved, Merkley seconded the motion to recommend approval of the prelimi-
nary plat, subject to the following conditions:
1. A revised planned development agreement shall be entered into and
this revised site plan shall be the main land use exhibit with this planned
development agreement.
2. The first phase of the commercial area or preliminary plat shall
meet all of the criteria for setbacks, parking, etc., in compliance with
Chapters 11 and 13 of the City Code.
3. The plat shall be subject to the park commission's review and com-
ment regarding park dedication for commercial property.
4. The detailed grading and berms along the northern edge of the
property shall be constructed with the first phase of development.
5. The plat shall be subject to the Dakota County Plat Commission's
review and comment because the plat abuts County right-of-way.
• 6. Cross easements and access shall be provided for the office build-
ings in order that all offices have common accesses.

9. The developer shall petition for installation of storm sewer to
service this development and the drainage plan for the area to the east will
be approved by the City staff.
10. If installed privately, plans and specifications for installation of
utilities shall be .prepared by a registered engineer in accordance with city
engineering guidelines and submitted to staff for approval.
11. An 8 foot bituminous trailway shall be constructed along the east
side of Nicols Road, the north side of Cliff Road, or escrow posted according
to staff requirements until construction takes palce.
12. Easements shall be dedicated as required in this report and acquired
• by city staff.
13. The costs incurred by the city for grading on this property shall be
paid by the developer.
14. All costs associated with utility installation and driveway
installation will be the sole responsibility of this development with the
exception of the oversizing of the storm sewer if additional accesses from the
property west of Nicols Road shall conform with the location of accesses from
this'plat.
All voted in favor.

HOLMES ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The continued public hearing regarding the application of Paul Holmes for
preliminary plat approval of proposed Holmes Addition consisting of approxi-
mately l acre, intending to include two single family lots, located near the
intersection of Quarry Lane and Towerview Road, was convened by Chairman Wold.
Dale Runkle reviewed the application that had been continued from the last
meeting and noted that the Planning Commission had requested additional infor-
mation regarding the upgrading of Towerview Road, adjacent to the subdivision.
Mr. Hefti stated that the staff had researched the status of Towerview Road,
east of Quarry Lane, and noted that a bituminous mat and concrete curbing are
in place along the south portion of Towerview Road at that location, adjacent
to the Ed Reid property. The recommendation of the engineering department
would be to upgrade the public improvements within Towerview Road to city
standards in front of Holmes Addition, but that an alternate would be to
escrow funds for future improvements.
City Attorney Paul Hauge also reviewed several alternates, including the
upgrading of the street, improvement of only that portion of Towerview Road in
front of the Holmes Addition, escrowing funds sufficient for the future up-
grading, no upgrading and simply acquiring necessary easement right-of-way, or
the potential for a homeowners agreement amongst the property owners to the
east for maintenance of Towerview Road in that location. Mark Tompkins and
Paul Holmes were present and requested that the road area be released from any
• requirement for public improvements. Ed Reid was also present as were other
owners to the east. Mr. Holmes also objected to the requirement for an
escrow.

There were questions from the Planning Commission members as to what
areas would be assessed for benefit purposes and it was noted the estimated
C cost was about $8,200.00 for water main and street improvements. Jerry Rogers
appeared and was concerned about long-term costs for improvement of the hill
to the east. Member Wilkins was concerned about improving the street to Pilot
Knob Road at the present time and indicated that the property owners objected
to that type of improvement. The main issue was whether to recommend upgrad-
ing at the present time or in the future and provide for assessments in the
future. Mr. Hefti indicated it would be difficult to get approval of the
property owners in Holmes Addition for future upgrading after the platting is
completed, and further noted the high cost of maintenance for gravel surfaced
streets. Wilkins moved, Mulrooney seconded the motion to recommend approval
of the application for preliminary plat approval, subject to the following
conditions:
1. Adequate right-of-way shall be dedicated for Towerview Road as
determined by the City.
2. A 10 foot front setback variance shall be granted for Lots 1 and 2
of the proposed plat.
• 3. The plat shall be reviewed by the Department of natural Resources
for their comments.
4. Park dedication shall be provided as requested by the Advisory Park
Commission.

SUNSET 5TH ADDITION - PRELI1IINARY PLAT
Mr. Runkle indicated the City Council formally reviewed the preliminary
plat application of Joseph Hoffman for the approval of Sunset 5th Addition at
the Council's meeting on March 6, 1984. The Council had serious concerns
pertaining to direct driveway access onto Dodd Road with the potential for a
future side lot along the single family lot and no committed public right-of-
way, being of record or even reviewed, to determine if this is the most
appropriate location. There were questions about access to Dodd Road, whether
an easement would be provided over the property to the north and access to the
remainder of the Lexington South property to the west. Brad Swenson appeared
for the applicant and explained the proposal for the development of the land
to the west and the proposed moving of the church location. There were
concerns about additional access points on to Dodd Road, but it was proposed
that turn-arounds on each individual lot be provided. Mr. Swenson indicated
that the property owner to the north would agree to a 60 foot easement north
of the 5th Addition. There was no written committment from Lexington South as
to the 60 foot easement. After extended discussion, Wold moved, Wilkins
seconded the motion to recommend to the Council the following:
1. That each lot in the 5th Addition would be allowed an individual
access with an interior turn -around.
2. That the surrounding ]and uses appear to warrant the location for an
access road to the north on to Dodd Road.
3. The Planning Commission reaffirms the approval of the conditions for
approval of the preliminary plat.
C 4. That the preliminary plat be conditioned upon written committment
from the owner to the north, that it will convey a 60 foot road easement.

BOBBARD BROADCASTING CO. - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
C The public hearing regarding the application of Hubbard Broadcasting Co.
and Fairview Company for conditional use permit to allow pylon advertising
sign in an area zoned Roadside Business near the intersection of I -35E and
Cliff Road was then convened. Mr. Runkle reviewed the application and stated
that Roadside Business Zoning would allow an advertising sign, the 20 foot
setback from the right-of-way is being adhered to, the sign would be 40 feet
from the base to the top of the sign and it would contain 242 square feet
under the maximum allowed of 250 square feet. It did not appear that the
application violated the Sign Ordinance provisions. A representative from the
applicant was present. Member Wilkins indicated that the City has not allowed
advertising signs on undeveloped property in the past. The representative
indicated that most likely the sign will be removed when the land is
developed. Krob moved, Mulrooney seconded the motion to approve the applica-
tion, subject to the sign meeting all of the criteria set forth in Section 4.2
of the Eagan City Code. All voted in favor.
DRENC®AHN - REZONING
The hearing of Allan and Baerbel Drenckhahn to rezone approximately .06
acres from A (Agricultural) to RB (Roadside Business) located on the west side
of Pilot Knob Road, south of #494 was next convened by the Chairman. The
property is zoned Agricultural and the property around it is basically zoned
RB (Roadside Business). The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates the land as
RB. The applicants intend to relocate their hair grooming business and also
import gift shop business from their home to the south on Pilot Knob Road, and
potentially would build a restaurant on the site in three to five years. The
staff reviewed certain alternates such as special permit to allow the gift
shop and hairdressing business until such time as the applicant is ready to
construct or expand the home into the restaurant that is being proposed.
Member Wilkins stated the policy of the City is that no rezoning would be
allowed until the preliminary plat application is submitted and approved.
There was discussion concerning parking and setbacks. Mr. and Mrs. Drenckhahn
were present and indicated that they would favor reviewing the potential for a
C preliminary plat at the present time. There were no objections from sur-
rounding property owners. Also, it was noted that generally, the City does
not allow retail sales where only a hairdressing salon is permitted. Krob
moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to continue the hearing until the next
regular meeting to permit the applicant to review the potential for submitting
an application for preliminary plat approval. All voted in favor.

JOHNNY CANE RIDGE FIFTH ADDITION - REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT
CThe public hearing regarding the application of U. S. Homes Corporation
for revised preliminary plat of Johnny Cake Fourth Addition into Johnny Cake
Fifth Addition was presented to the Planning Commission. The proposal is to
replat a portion of the northeast part of the townhouse development to allow
splitting four-plex units for the construction of two double units adjacent to
each other, using the same driveway approach as originally approved. It was
understood the square footage of the units would increase slightly when chang-
ing the tuck -under garages to attached garages at the ends of the units. Dale
Runkle explained the proposal, which includes essentially zero lot lines.
Robert Hoffman, attorney, appeared for the applicant, as did Bill Fierke, Jim
Nervig, Chuck Winden and Bill Allen. It was noted that the proposal is
somewhat of a hybrid approach without strict precedent in the City.
A number of neighboring property owners were present with concerns about
reduction in property value, effect upon their association, etc. Mr. Hoffman
stated that the development could provide for a new Homeowners Association.
After considerable discussion, Mr. Hoffman requested that the application be
• continued to allow the applicant to meet with the neighboring representatives.
Mulrooney moved, Krob seconded the motion to continue the hearing until the
next regular meeting in April 1984. All voted in favor.

The hearings were then convened regarding the application of U. S. Homes
Corporation to rezone approximately 50 acres from R-4 (Residential Multiple)
to R-1 PD (Residential Single District) with lot sizes which deviate from the
R-1 zoning standards located in the West 1/2 of the Southwest 1/4 of Section
14 along and adjacent to Lexington Avenue. The second application was for
preliminary plat approval of Lexington Place South containing 134 single
family lots. Mr. Runkle noted that the parcel is zoned R-4 with an approved
preliminary plat consisting of 360 dwelling units. The Comprehensive Guide
designates the parcel R -II with a density of 6 units per acre. The proposed
plan does conform as to density with approximately 7.2 dwelling units per
acre. The gross density is 2.7 units per acre and the net density is about
4.0 units per acre, excluding street right-of-way and proposed open space.
(` Mr. Runkle explained the zero lot line proposal and Mr. Hoffman appeared and
stated that some roadway changes have been included in the proposal. The
proposal calls for courtyard arrangements with setbacks provided at the side
of each home with a perpetual easement granted adjacent for courtyard. The
sale price will be $80,000.00 to $105,000.00. It was noted that there will be
a homeowners association. Mr. Hoffman estimated there would be 800 fewer
trips per day than the original proposal. A preliminary grading plan will be
• submitted if the Planning Commission recommends approval and would be avail-
able before consideration by the City Council.

Barry Tilley, a neighboring owner, appeared and favored the reduction in
density from 360 to 134 R-1 units. He noted the City has requested that a
C sanitary sewer easement be acquired, possibly across his property, and was
also concerned about the pond at the southeast corner of the applicant's
property, which could create additional water problems on his 5 acre parcel.
The applicant indicated that there would be no additional run off to the
south. Member Wilkins favored the rezoning to R-1. Twenty lots would be at
the 6,600 minimum square footage, and the largest lots would be located in the
southeast corner. Square footages of the units would be 935 square feet,
1,151 square feet and 1,704 square feet.
Member Krob questioned whether the common area should be credited for
park purposes and it was understood that the Park Committee will not do so.
The frontage of all the lots are 60 feet except corner lots, and it is re-
quested that interior lots be allowed a 20 foot setback from the corners,
rather than 30 feet.
There appear to be precedents as to the small lot sizes and it was noted
that the Park Committee desires a 10 to 15 acre parcel for park purposes to
the south and east. Member Wold suggested architectural review and Mr. Hof-
fman stated
of-
fman,stated that U. S. Homes will build all the units in the development, and
the developer will control the architectural style. It was recommended that
the models proposed to be installed, be included in the exhibit in the Planned
Development Agreement. After extensive discussion, Krob moved, Wilkins
seconded the motion to recommend approval of the rezoning application to R-1
Planned Development. All voted in favor, except Mulrooney who voted no. Krob
then moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to recommend approval of the prelimi-
nary plat application, subject to the following conditions:
1. Adequate rights-of-way shall be dedicated for all of the public
streets in this development proposal.
2. The plat shall be reviewed by the Dakota County Plat Commission
because the plat abuts County rights-of-way.
3. The plat shall be subject to the Park Commission's review and com-
ments regarding the open space proposed in this development proposal and park
dedication requirements.
C4. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be

BRITTANY 7TH ADDITION - REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT
CThe public hearing concerning the application of Tollefson Builders, Inc.
for rezoning, 30 acres from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Residential Single) and
for preliminary plat approval of Brittany 7th Addition, consisting of 30 acres
with 50 single family lots was convened by Chairman Mike Wold. Dale Runkle
reviewed the application and indicated that the property is guided as R -I and
the preliminary plat would consist of 1.6 dwelling units per acre. He noted
that there were proposed cul-de-sacs because of the very rough terrain and the
staff recommended that the two easterly cul-de-sacs be connected along the
ridge only, rather than at the very ends of the cul-de-sacs. The lots all
conform with the minimum standards and it was noted a neighborhood park is
proposed to be acquired in the northern portion of the 120 -acre John Brown
property from which farm this 7th Addition would be taken. Two of the three
cul-de-sacs would require a variance. One is 510 feet and another at about
720 feet. Bill Dolan, Engineer, appeared on behalf of Tollefson Builders, and
indicated that the 510 foot cul-de-sac will be shortened to conform. Joe
O'Shaughnessy, a neighbor, was concerned about the increase in traffic until
access to the east or north is installed. He suggested that methods be
• employed to reduce the speed through the development to the west. It was
noted that some methods are additional signing and strict enforcement of speed
limits. Mr. Dolan stated there would be a significant amount of trees removed
and a great deal of additional cost if the two cul-de-sacs were connected.
Chairman Wold stated it did not appear to be practical to out an additional
swap of land and trees in a heavily wooded area and also noted the very rough
terrain. Wilkins moved, Mulrooney seconded the motion to recommend approval
of the application for rezoning to R-1 and further, of preliminary plat
approval, subject to the following conditions:
1. A detailed grading, drainage, erosion and sediment control plan
shall be submitted and reviewed by the City staff prior to final plat
approval.
2. Temporary turn-arounds shall be provided at the ends of each of the
stubbed streets proposed in this development and setback' shall be permitted
assuring no turn arounds are installed.
3. One variance shall be allowed on the middle cul-de-sac as proposed
in the preliminary plat to prepare the existing trees and terrain.
4. No lot shall be below 12,000 square feet or 85 foot width at the 30
foot setback.
5. The applicant shall meet all other City ordinance requirements in
regard to setbacks or residential homes and lot coverage.
• 6. The plat shall be subject to the Park Commission's recommendation
for park dedication.

PEACE REFORMED CHURCH OF EACAN - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The hearing regarding the application of Peace Reformed Church of Eagan
for preliminary plat approval of Peaceful Heights consisting of approximately
14 acres and containing one lot and one outlot located along the west side of
Nicols Road and south of Diffley Road, was then considered by the Planning
Commission. Dale Runkle reviewed the proposal, briefly noting that the parcel
is zoned Public Facility and that the platted lot would include the new
proposed Peace Reformed Church building and use of the outlot is unknown at
the present time. The applicant is proposing to provide access to the outlot
through the cul-de-sac separating Outlot A from Lot 1, common access from
Nicols Road. Parking would be 1 space for each 3.5 seats, according to the
plan. Dick Lundahl, the architect, was present and stated that the cul-de-sac
would be installed to City standards and would be dedicated to the City, but
` would require a length variance. There were no objections to the application.
Kroh moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to recommend approval of the applica-
tion, subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat shall be subject to MnDOT review and comment because the
plat abuts State right-of-way.
• 2. The plat shall also be subject to Dakota County Plat Commission's
review and comment because Nicols Road is still a County Road.

acres with 168 dwelling units, located on Lot 1, Block 1, and Lot 1, Block 2,
Wescott Hills Addition on Yankee Doodle Road was convened by the Chairman.
City Planner, Dale Runkle, detailed the application, noting the Comprehensive
Guide Plan provides for R -III (Mixed Residential) with a•density of 6 - 12
units per acre in the proposal which would. contain 42 four -unit buildings with
three stories in height, and it would appear to comply with the use. There
would be 168 dwelling units with a net density of 13.7 dwelling units per
acre. The property is zoned R-4 and it was staffs understanding that there
would be 2.5 parking spaces per unit. The applicant will request the City
Council vacate a portion of Rost Road between Trails End Road and Wescott
Hills Drive, noting that the street has never been cut in, has never been
approved and is a very old street. Greg Frank and Ken Tschida were present
and there were questions concerning whether Kost Road should vacated and the
staff generally recommended approval. An internal private drive is being
proposed within the subdivision. The approved width would be 32 feet, in-
cluding an 8 foot easement behind each curb. There were no objections from
surrounding owners as to the application or to the proposed vacation. Ali
drainage will be retained within the project site and the same architectural
• theme will be used throughout. Wilkins moved, Merkley seconded the motion to

CGROUP W ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The hearing regarding the application of Group W Cable, Inc. for prelimi-
nary plat approval of Group W Addition was then presented to the Planning
Commission. The proposal is to cover 1.8 acres with one lot located in the
southwest quarter of Section 19, lying between Old Highway #13 and Old Sibley
Memorial Highway. In addition, application for conditional use permit for the
proposed Cable T.V. tower to exceed the normal height was brought under the
Wind Energy and Tower Ordinance provision. Both the studio and tower for the
cable television system for Eagan -Burnsville will be located on the site and
in addition, five satellite dishes are being proposed. The City Code also
requires that a tower shall be located on the property so that if the tower
were to collapse or fall, it would fall entirely on the property it is con-
structed on.' In the proposed location, this would not be true and therefore a
variance would be required if the application were approved. In addition, a
small variance for the building setback, due to its configuration would be
required.
• James W. Commers and Ray Connally appeared for the applicant and noted
that the tower structure would not include guy wires, but would be a self-
contained structure. Roger Slater who owns 1.2 acres to the north and 3 acres
to the south appeared and objected to the application stating it would destroy
the value of the 1.2 acre parcel of property around the plat. Mark Parranto,
the agent for the owners to the south, also appeared and indicated that no
plan has been prepared for the development of the property that he represented
and he objected to any proposed assessments for Old Highway #13 street im-
provements or for watermain improvements at the present time. He stated that
his client had no objection to the development but objected to the upgrading
of the road and watermain at the present time.' Neil Heine, who owns and lives
on the residence directly to the north appeared and requested a continuance
for additional study. He objected to the T.V. tower because of its alleged
offensive site and its height.
Mr. Commers stated that he expected the tower would be no higher than 100
feet and described the proposed construction to the Planning Commission mem-
bers and those present. He indicated that it is only a receiving signal tower
and there should be no electrical interference to any property owners in the
area. He also stated that Group W would be covered by liability insurance
backed by Western Electric Corporation. He stated that the applicant has
investigated many sites in the Eagan -Burnsville area and noted that the tower
could be moved to the west side of the building and it would not then, in the
event of collapse, fall on neighboring property. Recommendations included all
permits, including those from the FAA, should be applied for and acquired and
• Mr. Commers stated that such applications are now in process. The schedule is
to complete the building by September 1, 1984 and solicit subscribers in
November of 1984.

The neighboring owners continued to object even with the reduction in
C height and the relocation. Krob moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to recom-
mend approval of the application, noting that it is important that the site be
located in Eagan, and the fact that there appear to be very few sites avail-
able for such facilities, subject to the following conditions:
1. The parking area shall be surfaced with concrete curbing around the
perimeter of the driving aisles and parking area.
2. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be
submitted and reviewed prior to the final plat approval.
3. Old Sibley Highway should be upgraded to a minimum standard City
street with the approval of this plat adjacent to this property.
4. A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted and approved by the
City prior to the final plat, and an adequate landscape bond shall be sub-
mitted and not released until one year after the landscaping has been com-
pleted.
• 5. The plat should be reviewed by Minnesota Highway Department of
Transportation because the plat abuts highway rights-of-way.
6. The proposed tower shall be located on the west side of the building
and all necessary permits shall be acquired.
7. The necessary sewer and water connection permits shall be obtained
prior to final plat approval.
8. Easements shall be dedicated as stated in this report or as required
by staff.
9. This development shall be responsible for its assessments for 175
feet of lateral benefit trunk water main at the rate in effect at the time of
final platting.
10. Any additional costs for improving this lot shall be the sole re-
sponsibility of this development.
All voted in favor except Merkley who abstained and stated that he had a
potential conflict of interest. Krob then moved to recommend approval of the
conditional use permit with the condition that the tower not exceed 100 feet,
that the City Engineer review and aprove the tower specifications, that the
tower be constructed to withstand at least 100 mile per hour winds, that the
City review the liability policy and that the applicant meet all other re-
quired ordinance provisions. Wilkins seconded the motion and all voted in
favor except Merkley who abstained.

CEDAR CLIFF COMMERCIAL 1ST ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
AND AMENDMENT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
CThe hearing concerning the application of Woodd ale Inc. and James J.
Durning for amendment to planned development and preliminary plat for Cedar
Cliff Commercial 1st Addition was then convened. The proposal was to amend
the 100% commercial site to allow 4.59 acres of commercial use in the south-
west portion of Outlot G of the planned development and the balance to be used
for office purposes in the Cedar Cliff planned development office complex
consisting of a total of 15.8 acres. It was noted that the balance of the
planned development has now been developed and it was noted the City has
approved the preliminary plat but the County had not accepted the plat in the
area because of access on Nicols Road. The proposed commercial area would
contain a total of 24,000 square feet with 2,000 square feet for each of the
two buildings proposed. 339 parking spaces will be provided with one space
for each 70 square feet. The remaining office area would contain 8.85 acres
and would contain 6 additional office sites. The applicant is proposing to
provide an overall grading plan for the particular site and to grade the
commercial site in the first phase and at the same time install 6 foot earthen
• berms along the northerly property line separating the residential area. Jim
Durning and his engineer were present and answered questions from the Planning
Commission members and from residents that were present. A number of resi-
dents were present and others, because of the late hour, had left earlier in
the meeting.
The proposal would provide for looped streets in and out to Nicols Road
in the commercial area and the office area would have separate access to
Nicols Road and Scott Trail. The neighbors present strongly objected to
access to Scott Trail and at a neighborhood meeting the previous night, they
had discussed the proposed project. The revised site plan was submitted at
the Planning Commission meeting without a direct outlet to Scott Trail. Mr.
Durning stated that he would conform with the neighbors' objection, that there
be no viieo arcade or nightclubs and no 24 hour business operations.
A petition from neighboring residents was submitted objecting to several
aspects of the project. Three office sites on the east would have access on
the north side of the commercial parcel to Nicols Road. Mr. Durning also
stated that he would install evergreen landscaping along the berm to further
shield the two areas.
Steve Darling, another neighboring property owner who was present, dis-
cussed the proposal and opposed commercial use because of the heavy commercial
in the general area. Some neighbors recognized that there would not be
development within the parcel until some commercial is approved. Mr. Durning
stated that it was his opinion that about 50% of the tenants in the commercial
• buildings would be office uses and that a PDQ would be the anchor with re -

stricted hours of 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. It was also expected that the
C Hillcrest development owners to the west of Nicols Road will ask for more
access points on Nicols Road, noting that Mr. Durning is requesting at least
three accesses from Cedar Cliff Commercial Park. Mr. Durning objected to the
proposed continuity of architectural design between the commercial and office
buildings,.noting it is not practical to require the office buildings to
comply with the same design. After extended discussion, Wilkins moved, Krob
seconded the motion to recommend the City Council approve the application
subject to the following:
1. To recommend approval of the application to amend the Cedar Cliff
Planned Development, which would include the revised site plan.
2. That the commercial tenants not be allowed to stay open more than
from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
3• That there be no video arcades, nightclubs or similar uses.
4. Further, that an architectural theme for the commercial buildings be
• reviewed by the Advisory Planning Commission.
All voted yes. Mr. Durning objected to the requirements of the con-
tinuity of architectural design between the commercial and office complexes
noting that it would not be practical to require the owners of the office
buildings to comply with the same design as the commercial center. Wilkins
then moved, Merkley seconded the motion to recommend approval of the prelimi-
nary plat, subject to the following conditions:
1. A revised planned development agreement shall be entered into and
this revised site plan shall be the main land use exhibit with this planned
development agreement.
2. The first phase of the commercial area or preliminary plat shall
meet all of the criteria for setbacks, parking, etc., in compliance with
Chapters 11 and 13 of the City Code.
