MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: DECEMBER 27, 1984
SUBJECT: ANNUAL REVIEW OF PARKS DEDICATION FEES/ADVISORY COMMISSION
ACTION
Background
The Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission, in accordance with its
adopted practice and policy, annually reviews the park dedication
fees for recommendation to the City Council, effective the first of
the year. The City did increase its fees, amounting to approxi-
mately 5%, on January 1, 1984. At its regular meeting in November
and on December 6, the commission reviewed the available information
relative to parks dedication fees and recommended an increase in
residential fees for 1985.
Commission Discussion
Members reviewed information on recent land sales within Eagan.
Although there were few residential comparisons and most of these
were multiple zoned properties, the commission's finding was that
land costs were continuing to increase.
Staff commented that the comparison method is not precise, with
costs affected by location, terms of the purchase, topography,
availability of utilities, etc.
Member Kubik noted that the cost of living appears to be running
close to 5% this year and supported a fee increase in this amount.
Other members agreed and reasoned that it was still best to annually
adjust the fee moderately rather. than to fall too far behind in
•
periods of rapid land cost escalation.
Commission Recommendation
After commission discussion, the members recommended to the City
Council that the formula for computing park dedication fees be in-
creased from the current $10,500 an acre to $11,000 per acre, re-
sulting in a fee schedule as follows:
Single Family $440
Multiple Family 365
Apartment Units 278
(Note: Current fees are $420, $348 and $265, respectively.)
For Council Action
It would be appropriate for the City Council to establish the park
dedication fees effective January 1, 1985.

PERSONNEL ITEMS
B. Personnel Items -- 1. Promotion of Cadet to Police Officer --
The City is expecting a resignatin from Ken Conyers. Therefore,
Chief of Police Berthe and the City Administrator are recommending
the appointment of Kevin McGrath for the replacement of Officer Con-
yers. Mr. Conyers is relocating to Florida where he is assuming
a law enforcement position with a sheriff's department. It appears
the resignation will be effective during the middle to latter part
of February. Therefore, due to the two month training program for
new officers, it is advantageous that Mr. McGrath be hired to fill
the vacancy as soon as the resignation is formally received from
• Ken Conyers.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To authorize the City Ad-
ministrator to hire Kevin McGrath for the replacement of Ken Conyers
as soon as Mr. Conyers' formal resignation is received by the City.
Special Note: It is expected that Mr. Conyers will submit his re-
signation in the next several days and it is advantageous for Mr.
McGrath to be hired as soon as possible to begin the training pro-
gram so the City is not deficient a police officer for any signifi-
cant period of time.
Z. Engineering Tech I -- The approved 1985 Budget created a
full-time Engineering Tech I position in the Public Works Depart-
ment. The duties and responsibilities of this position has
• previously been fulfilled through a temporary intern. A formal
job description was prepared and notices posted pertaining to
this newly created vacancy. In response to the posted notices,
the Assistant City Engineer and Director of Public Works reviewed
the applications and is recommending the Council approval of
Mr. John Sachi to fill the newly created vacancy of Engineering
Tech I at the established rate of pay of $17,500 per year.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Approve the hiring of
John Sachi as an Engineering Tech I at the established rate
of pay for that position.

SCOPE: This project provides for the reconstruction of Rahn Road from Beau De
Rue Drive to a point 150' south of Shale Lane. Also included is construction
of a 5' wide concrete sidewalk from Shale Lane to Turquoise Trail. Rahn Road
is considered a neighborhood collector street in the City of Eagan. The ma-
jority of the property abutting Rahn Road is single family residential, with a
few large apartment complexes, a church and a commercial business.
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATION: This project is feasible from an engineering
standpoint and is in accordance with street reconstruction in the City of
Eagan. The project as outlined herein can best be carried out as one con-
tract. Rahn Road is included on the Municipal State Aid Street System in the
City of Eagan. It is, therefore, recommended the plans be prepared in accor-
dance with Municipal State Aid Standards and be submitted to the State Aid
Office for their review and to determine that portion eligible for Municipal
State Aid Funds. Therefore, Rahn Road will have to be upgraded in accordance
with Municipal State Aid Standards.
DISCUSSION: Rahn Road is considered a neighborhood collector street in the
City of Eagan and conveys the traffic from the abutting Cedar Grove Addi-
tions. Adjusted traffic counts taken along Rahn Road are as follows:
Average Daily Traffic
South
of
Beau De
Rue
Drive South
5800
North
of
Co.
Rd.
No.
30 (Diffley
Road)
3300
South
of
Co.
Rd.
No.
30 (Diffley
Road)
1740
North
of
Co.
Rd.
No.
32 (Cliff Road)
1660
As shown
by
the
traffic
counts, the
traffic north
of Co. Rd. No. 30 to
Beau De Rue Drive is considerably higher than south of Co. Rd. No. 30. Any
increase in the volume of traffic along Rahn Road will be dependent upon the
development of the property east of Rahn Road. It should be noted, that the
Page 1.
3880c
IZ
traffic counts presented above were taken in 1983 prior to all the traffic re-
routing associated with the construction of I -35E.
That portion of Rahn Road proposed to be upgraded as part of this project
was constructed in three parts. The portion from Co. Rd. No. 30 to Turquoise
Trail was constructed in 1966. The portion from Turquoise Trail to Beau De
Rue Drive was constructed in 1967-1968. While the remaining portion from Co.
Rd. No. 30 to a point 150' south of Shale Lane was constructed in 1969. The
sidewalk from Beau De Rue Drive to Turquoise Trail was constructed in 1975.
The existing typical street section for the most part includes an 1'1" - 2"
thick bituminous surface constructed over zero to 16 inches of aggregate
•
base. The street was constructed to a 36 feet width with a machine laid bitu-
minous curb. The integrity of Rahn Road north of Co. Rd. No. 30 to Beau De
Rue Drive has deteriorated to the point where constructing a bituminous over-
lay is no longer feasible. Soil borings taken within this portion also show
that the existing gravel base has become contaminated with the subgrade
soils. The subgrade soils are a sandy and clay loam which are not the most
conducive soils for street construction. Therefore, due to the high traffic
volumes, it is recommended Rahn Road from Co. Rd. No. 30 to Beau De Rue Drive
•
be completely reconstructed with a new gravel base, bituminous surface, and
concrete curb and gutter.
Rahn Road south of Co. Rd. No. 30 to Shale Lane for the most part has
maintained its grade and cross section. This is due not only because the
traffic volumes are considerably less than north of Co. Rd. No. 30 but also
because the subgrade soils are considerably better. However, the existing bi-
tuminous surface in conjunction with the abutting bituminous curb has provided
15 years of service and for a collector street is at the point where a seal
coat is no longer the most cost effective approach from a maintenance stand -
Page 2.
3880c
�3
point. Therefore, it is recommended a bituminous overlay be constructed on
Rahn Road south of Co. Rd. No. 30 to a point_150' south of Shale lane in con-
junction with new concrete curb and gutter. To construct a bituminous overlay
at this time will also result in a minimal amount of patching and future main-
tenance.
As previously mentioned, the existing width of Rahn Road is 36 feet face
of curb to face of curb and that Rahn Road is a Municipal State Aid Street.
To utilize State Aid Funds, Rahn Road must be upgraded in accordance with a
Municipal State Aid Standards. As a result, if State Aid Funds are to be used
• only certain street widths can be considered. Various street widths and their
respective functions are listed below:
36 feet - two thru lanes with one parking lane
40 feet - two thru lanes with one turn lane and no parking
44 feet - two thru lanes with two parking lanes on each side
48 feet - four thru lanes with no parking
Beau De Rue Drive and Rahn Road north of Beau De Rue Drive are presently
44 feet wide. Rahn Road from a point 150 feet south of Shale Lane to Co. Rd.
• No. 32 (Cliff Road) is also 44 feet wide. It is recommended Rahn Road from
Co. Rd. No. 30 to a point 150 feet south of Shale Lane be constructed to a 44
feet width such that the horizontal location of the west curb line will not
change. The additional 8 feet width will be constructed entirely on the east
side where ample right-of-way exist, except for one unplatted parcel 210 feet
long. This will provide a consistent width from co. Rd. No. 30 to Co. Rd. No.
32 and also provide two parking lanes. It is also proposed to construct a 5'
wide concrete sidewalk on the east side.
From Co. Rd. No. 30 to Turquoise Trail the existing right-of-way is 66
feet except at the two large apartment complexes where the right-of-way is 73
Page 3.
3880c
I4
feet. Approximately 22 residential homes access to Rahn Road through this
portion in which half are located on each side of the street. Due to the min-
imal existing right-of-way, it is recommended the street width remain 36 feet
and that parking be provided along the west side only with no parking on the
east side. It is recommended the street width be increased at Co. Rd. No. 30
to 40 feet to privide a left turn lane to the east. A 5' wide concrete side-
walk is proposed along the east side from Co. Rd. No. 30 to Carnelian Lane and
on the west side from Carnelian Lane to Turquoise Trail. At this point, it
will connect to an existing sidewalk. The sidewalk will be constructed l foot •
in from the property line thus providing an 8.5 feet boulevard. An alternate
is included for consideration which provides for a 44 feet wide street from
Co. Rd. No. 30 to Turquoise Trail. A 44 feet width is being considered due to
the ability to provide parking on both sides if required or necessary. How-
ever, some of the concerns in constructing a 44' wide street is that the
street would have to be widened 4 feet on each side in addition to acquiring
additional right-of-way for the sidewalk if an 8.5 feet boulevard is to be
maintained. Also the additional cost would be the responsibility of the Major •
Street Fund and would not be assessed.
From Turquoise Lane to Beau De Rue Drive, it is recommended Rahn Road be
constructed 40 feet wide with two thru lanes and a center turn lane. It is
felt parking is not necessary in this area due to the steep grade that exists
on Rahn Road. A center turning lane is also recommended because of the high
amount of turning movements into the high density apartment complex and onto
Turquoise Trail which also serves as a neighborhood collector. A left turn
lane will be provided at both Beau De Rue Drive and Turquoise Trail.

IS
It is proposed that Rahn Road be constructed to a 9 ton design thickness
in accordance with Municipal State Aid Standards. Traffic volumes and sub -
grade soil conditions are utilized in determining the design thickness.
Adjustment of existing structures (manholes, catch basin, valves, etc.) is
also included in conjunction with restoration of boulevards and driveways.

COST ESTIMATE: A detailed cost estimate is presented in Appendix A located at
the back of this report. The total estimated project cost is $761,900 which
includes contingencies and all related overhead. Overhead costs are estimated
at 27% and include legal, engineering, administration, and bond interest.
As previously indicated an alternate is included for constructing a 44'
wide street from Co. Rd. No. 30 to Turquoise Trail in lieu of 36' wide
street. A detail. cost. estimate is not included in Appendix A, however, a de-
tailed cost analysis was done and the total estimated project would increase
to $830,710. This represents a cost increase of $68,810 which does not in-
clude any additional costs to acquire easements. •
ASSESSMENTS: Assessments are proposed to be levied against the benefited
property. A preliminary assessment roll is included in Appendix B located at
the back of this report.
Three assessment rates were determined in assessing the abutting property
within this project. The three rates and their respective amounts are listed
below:
Residential Rate $1,746/Lot Equivalent
Multiple Rate $2,619/Lot Equivalent •
Commercial Rate $54.96/F.F.
The residential rate was determined based on the rate established in the
feasibility report for Cedar Grove No. 3, 4, & 5 Street Reconstruction - Proj-
ect No. 413. All residential platted lots are to be assessed on a per lot
basis. Residential property which is not platted is proposed to be assessed
on a lot equivalent basis in which one lot equivalent is considered 75 feet.
Residential corner lots are proposed to be assessed only if their driveway
access is directly onto Rahn Road. Property which is not considered residen-
tial or commercial is proposed to be assessed at the multiple rate (churches,
Page 6.
3880c 7
apartments, etc.) on a lot equivalent basis. The multiple rate is 150% more
than the residential rate. The commercial rate per front foot is determined
by dividing the total project cost by the lineal feet of street constructed
times 2 ($761,900 r (6931 L.F. x 2) _ $54.96/F.F.). Commercial property is
proposed to be assessed on a front foot basis.
REVENUE SOURCES: Revenue sources to cover the cost of this project are as
follows:

Street $761,900
• Street Assessment $238,000
TOTAL $761,900 $238,000 —$523,900
It is anticipated $523,900 will be required from the Major Street Fund.
It should be noted, however, that all construction costs and a portion of the
overhead costs will be eligible for Municipal State Aid Funds.
In the event the alternate is approved, the Major Street Fund Obligation
will increase approximately $68,810 representing a total estimated Major
Street Fund Obligation of $592,710 ($523,900 + $68,810 = $592,710).

VACATION/PONDING EASEMENT/HOLMES ADDN.
B. Vacation of Ponding Easement, Holmes Addition -- On December 4,
the City Council authorized the execution of a Quit Claim document
releasing all previously acquired rights associated with a ponding
and utility easement dedicated to the City in 1972 over that
portion of the property now platted as the Holmes Addition.
Subsequent to that action, representatives of the Title Insurance
Company indicate that this easement must be vacated by a formal
public hearing process to clear all title questions.
While it was originally intended that all notices would be published
in anticipationof scheduling the public hearing for the January
• 2 meeting, the holiday schedule of the legal newspapers precluded
the proper length of notification and publication. Subsequently,
this item must be continued until the January 15 meeting to
comply with all required procedures.
U]
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Continue the public hearing
for the vacation of the ponding easement over the Holmes Addition
until January 15, 1985.

OFF -SALE LIQUOR LICENSES/1985
A. Status of Off -Sale Liquor Licenses for 1985 -- At the February
7, 1984 City Council meeting, a motion was approved as follows:
"Smith moved, Blomquist seconded the motion not to change the off -
sale liquor license policy and to require that one of the active,
existing licenses be activated in southern Eagan in 1984 or to be
open to application. Smith, Blomquist and Wachter voted in favor;
Thomas voted nay and Egan abstained. Egan then moved, Wachter
seconded the motion that the Council consider the renewal of the
Parranto application in 1985 if the license is not activated in •
1984. All voted yes." The City has notified Mr. J. E. Parranto
in a letter dated February 14 that his license must be used during
1984 or the license will be available for another applicant. Also,
a letter was sent to Mr. Parranto dated October 26, 1984 reminding
him of the City Council's action at the February 7 meeting. Copies
of those letters are enclosed for review by the City Council on
pages �,S " through z 6 . This item is placed on the agenda to
address the motion that was passed on February 7 to "consider the
renewal of the Parranto application in 1985 if the license is not
activated in 1984". The application was processed with all other
liquor licenses in the early fall of 1984. However, to date, the
City' has not received a specific location or intended purpose for
the license and therefore this item is placed on the agenda for fur-
ther consideration regarding the ongoing renewal of the Parranto
liquor license.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To further consider the off- •
sale liquor license that was granted to J. E. Parranto.

Re: J. E. Parranto Liquors Off -Sale Intoxicating Liquor License
Dear Mr. Parranto:
In official action at a regular meeting held October 16, 1984, the
City Council renewed the above referenced license for 1985. I have
been instructed to remind you, however, of the action taken
previously at the February 7, 1984, meeting at which time the City
Council stated that if this license was not actually used during
1984 it would be available for another applicant. A copy of my
letter notifying you of that action is enclosed for your review.
You are therefore being put on notice that the 1985 renewal does
not alter the City Council's action of February 7. Unless the
license issued to you is actually used during 1984, the City
Council is planning .to hold a public hearing in January of 1985 to
determine a new course of action.
Please contact the appropriate City official, if you have any
additional questions regarding your license.
Sincerely,
E, \v041

RE: CONTRACTORS LICENSE FOR JIM MCMANN & RHEYNARD WALTON
dba MC.R.S.IND INC
P.O. BOX 24427
APPLE VALLEY, MN 55124
The license bond of $5,000, the Certificate of Insurance for $300,000 in
aggregate and the $25.00 filing fee is on file with the City. This company
has apparently been formed to install Dynamic manufactured homes of Detroit
• Lakes, Minnesota in this area. These homes are certified by the State of
Minnesota and applicants for the contractors license are real estate sales
persons and have done a few conventional dwellings in Apple Valley and
Lakeville. However, their references seem based solely on the manufactured
modular home which is set in place on a wood foundation. This contractor's
license application was held back from the December 18, 1984 City of Eagan
Council Meeting because upon screening the references, it was found that Mr.
McMann had been affiliated at one time with a Mr. Quam who was doing business
as Gold Key Realty and Sunwood Energy Homes. Mr. Quam's companies were noted
for their disregard of City policies and their clients in Mendota Heights,
Cottage Grove and Eagan such as starting construction without building permits
and not calling for inspections. Mr. Quam has a history of returning for a
license under a new name. I have been attempting, with little success, to
insure that there is no connection between MC.R.S. Industrial Inc. and Mr.
Quam in this license application as I will not license Mr. Quam to build in
Eagan. Until MC.R.S. can provide better references in regards to past
performance, the department cannot recommend licensing.

LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION/PRELIMINARY PLAT
A. Alscor/Opus Co., for Preliminary Plat of Lemay Lake 1st Addition
& a Concept Plan for Adjacent Commercial Land, Consisting of Approx-
imately 290 Apartment Units -- A public hearing was held by the Ad-
visory Planning Commission at their last regular meeting held on
December 20, 1984 to consider a preliminary plat of Lemay Lake 1st
Addition and a concept plan for adjacent commercial land, consisting
of approximately 290 apartment units on 17.7 acres. As the City
Council recalls, this item was first reviewed by the APC at the Sep-
tember 25 planning commission meeting and then by the City Council
• at the October 16 meeting. There were a number of concerns expres-
sed at that meeting regarding the need for an overall concept plan
to determine how this project would relate to future development
adjacent to the I -35E corridor and also property owners residing
around Lemay Lake. The Opus Corporation has revised the plan and
prepared a new plat and concept plan for the development of adjacent
commercial land for review by the APC. The Advisory Planning Com-
mission is recommending approval of the revised plan subject to some
addtional conditions that were agreed to as a result of the public
hearing and planning commission discussion. The City Administrator
has asked the Planning Department to coordinate the conditions that
were reviewed and set forth at both the September 25 and December
20 planning commission meetings, which include recommendations by
the commission and City staff into one consolidated list of recom-
mendations for review by the City Council. The list of recommenda-
tions is a part of the information for review by the City Council.

MEMO TO: CHARLES HALL & THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
DATE: DECEMBER 12, 1984
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
The Advisory Planning Commission reviewed Lemay Lake 1st Addition at the
September 25, 1984 Planning Commission meeting. This item was then scheduled
for the October 16,' 1984 City Council meeting. At this City Council meeting,
the Council had issues concerning this development in regard to adjacent property
to the east. They wanted an overall concept plan as.to how this access to
Lemay Lake would tie in to the property to the east. The applicants have
worked with the adjacent property owners to provide an overall circulation
pattern as to how the property to the east will develop. In this concept
plan, there are three (3) commercial buildings abutting Lone Oak Rd. and I -35E.
The applicants have illustrated two restaurants and a car service facility.
• To the south, the applicants are proposing two (2) additional office buildings
with a circulation pattern of either a "Y" design, with two cul—de—sacs looping
the cul—de—sacs through private drives, or it could be potentially converted
into an overall loop street, whichever the City would .require. Also, there
have been a number of concept plans showing either two smaller office buildings
or one larger office building which could develop on the site and still provide
adequate circulation.
In review of this concept, the zoning is not exactly as what is being proposed.
Therefore, if the City agrees with the concept, the applicants should then
request a zoning to conform with this use if the City agrees with the proposed
concept in use in this location.
The second issue was regarding access to this development. In reviewing this
proposal again, it has been determined the major access will be the extension
of Eagandale Blvd. to the south as proposed. There would be one minor access,
• or right in, right out to the west of Eagandale Blvd. and between Poplar Dr.
The. minor access would be a right in, right out and would provide additional
circulation to the development. However, another major access, or looping
a minor access through this development, does not appear to be feasibile for
the layout of this particular site. The applicants have reviewed this proposal
with Dakota County and it is the City's understanding that Dakota County will
allow a secondary access, however, not a second major access to this development
proposal.
Another issue the Council had was with density of this development request.
Staff has recalculated the density of this development and it was determined
that the net developable acres of the site was 17.71 acres and the applicants,
according to their mix of dwelling units, were 15,752 sq. ft. over the allotted
square footage for the 1/3 or 96 one bedroom and 2/3 two bedroom units or
192 units. In changing this mix, by reducing the number of 2's and adding
it to the number of 11s, the applicants can come within the square footage
of the ordinance for developable density. In review of the total site density,
30
APC - UPDATE ON LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
DECEMBER 12, 1984
PAGE TWO
the applicants are at 16.2 units per net acre. Even though these units do
meet the ordinance criteria, the City has indicated that this density is high
and would like to potentially negotiate a reduction in units. If the applicant
reduced the site density by 24 units, it would then have a net density of
15 units per acre which may be more attractive to the City for a development
proposal.
The last item that Staff would like to mention is that since the time. this
application had been reviewed by the APC and City Council, the City has adopted
the Shoreline Zoning Ordinance. Staff is reviewing this development against
the shoreline criteria and has also scheduled a meeting with the DNR to review
this site plan in regard to the Shoreline Ordinance criteria. Staff will
update the APC as to the outcome of the meeting with DNR and hopefully have
letters from them regarding their concerns of this development proposal.
This meeting has not taken place, but will have occurred prior the Public
Hearing of November 20, 1984.
Staff has included the original Staff Report dated 9/18/84 for your review
because the site plan has not changed substantially and only minor revisions
have been made in access off of Eagandale Blvd. The proposed development
will consist of the 3 buildings and are in the same locations as was originally
proposed. Therefore, the Staff report will give background information on
density, setbacks, etc. in review of this request.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact
me at the City Hall.
Sincerely,
Xunkle

ENGINEERING COMMENTS - LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
The major revision from the September 18,-1984 plan, is the alignment of Eagan -
dale Place. Rather than dead ending into the property to the east of this
proposed development, it now has a reverse curve which places one half of
the street right-of-way on this development with the other half of the street
right-of-way to be located on the parcel to the east. Staff has no problem
with this alignment as proposed. This alignment will provide excellent access
into the parcel between this development and I -35E. Staff prefers the looped
public street alternative over the 2 cul-de-sac alternative from a maintenance
and public safety standpoint.
As for the physical construction
Eagandale Pl. be a minimum of 40'

APC UPDATE ON LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
DECEMBER 12, 1984
PAGE THREE
The right-of-way being proposed to be dedicated for Eagandale P1. is 60'.
Staff feels that where the wider street will be required, also a wider right-of-
way should also be required. Therefore, this development shall either increase
the right-of-way width to 80' for Eagandale Pl. where the above referenced
40' wide street will be required or provide a 20' utility easement adjacent
the right-of-way in lieu of the normal 10' utility easement required. In
addition, the half right-of-way for Eagandale P1., located on the parcel east
of this development, should also be included on the final plat.
All remaining information pertaining to this proposed development as reported
in the September 18th Engineering Report to the APC remains the same.
RECOMMENDATIONS (Revised)
1. No additional storm water runoff be added to the existing 48" storm sewer,
unless the existing storm sewer is increased in size accordingly.
2. Public improvements shall be petitioned by the developer and ordered in
is
by Council prior to final plat approval.
3. This development shall be responsible for constructing a 5' concrete walk
along its Lone Oak Rd. frontage.
4. A minimum 50' half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Lone Oak Rd.
5. If a 60' right-of-way for Eagandale P1. is dedicated, then a 20' utility
easement will be required to be dedicated adjacent to public right-of-way
as required by Staff.
6. This development shall be responsible for its trunk storm sewer area and
final benefit from trunk watermain assessments at the rates in effect
at the time of final platting.
7. Easements for ponding, watermain and sanitary sewer shall be dedicated
• on the final plat.
8. All costs for public improvements associated with this development shall
be the sole responsibility of this development.
9. The access driveway to the southwesterly 114 unit complex will be required
to be a minimum of 32' in width.

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT — LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
APPLICANT: BOB WORTHINGTON & TOM HEALEY
LOCATION: PART OF NE'k OF THE NA OF SECTION 10
EXISTING ZONING. R-4 (RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: SEPTEMBER 25, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: SEPTEMBER 18, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
• APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted for Preliminary Plat
approval for Lemay Lake 1st Addition consisting of approximately 17.7 acres and
containing 288 dwelling units located in the NEk of the NWZ of Section 10.
ZONING & LAND USE
Presently the property is zoned R-4 (Residential Multiple) and would only allow
high density multiple development on the parcel. The Comprehensive Guide Plan
designates this parcel as an R-3 (Mixed Residential) with 6 to 12 dwelling units
per acre. The development proposal consists of 16 units per acre which is
slightly higher than the Comprehensive Guide Plan, however, it is within the
guidelines of the R-4 zoning district.
COMMENTS
In review of this development proposal, there are two people that should be
• mentioned. The first person is Mr. Robert Worthington of Opus Corporation.
This parcel has been owned by Opus for a number of years and has had a multiple
zoning on this property during that time. Opus Corporation's involvement is
to plat the property in order that the multiple would be allowed as proposed.
Mr. Tom Healey, President of Healey Ramme Company, are the developers of the
proposed development project. They have built multiple projects in Minnetonka
and Bloomington and are now proposing development in the City of Eagan.
The proposed development consists of 3 multiple buildings; one building contain—
ing 60 dwelling units and the remaining two containing 114 dwelling units each.
It is Staff's understanding that the mix within the project will be, 1/3 of
the units having 1 bedroom and 2/3 of the units having 2 bedrooms for a total
of 288 dwelling units. The development will be a 3 story apartment complex with
each of the buildings having underground parking. The applicants are proposing
to have 288 underground parking spaces and 288 surface parking for a total of
2 parking spaces per unit. This has been permissible with the understanding
and condition that each of the garage spaces be part of the rental price of the
dwelling unit. The applicants have indicated that this will be incorporated
into their rental package.
PRELIMINARY PLAT — LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
APC — SEPTEMBER 25, 1984
PAGE 2.
In review of the site plan, all buildings meet and exceed all of the setback
requirements from all property lines. Access to this development is proposed
from Lone Oak Road. They are proposing to extend Eagandale Blvd. to the south
and loop this street easterly to provide access to the property to the east.
Access would be taken from this extension of Eagandale south of Lone Oak Road.
The applicants are also proposing one additional access from Lone Oak Road on
the west side of the property. This would be a private street or drive which
would provide access to approximately 1 to 1/2 buildings. The most northerly
building would have access either the proposed private street and the access
from Eagandale extension. The site plan has been designed in order to provide
as many views to Lemay Lake as can be obtained on the site. The buildings are
angled slightly in order to maximize the number of views to Lemay Lake. The
development is also proposing an amenity package which would include a pool or
central amenity feature and pathway to Lemay Lake. They are also working with
the Park Department in order to essentially dedicate some trailway easements
around Lemay Lake. This item will be before the Park's Commission on October •
4 for their review. In reviewing the outside parking, it appears that the 288
spaces would be the number required. In scaling these dimensions, it appears
that these spaces have been laid out at a 9 foot width and the ordinance would
require that these be expanded to a 10 foot width by either an 18 or 20 foot
dimension in order to come into conformance with the Eagan parking requirements.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 18, 1984
SUBJECT: LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the following
comments regarding this proposed development for consideration by the Advisory
Planning Commission and City Council:
GRADING/DRAINAGE
Some grading has already been accomplished over this parcel under a grading
permit issued to OPUS. This work was done in conjunction with the excavation
for 35-E. Subsequently, grading was accomplished in such a way that all
• drainage was directed southerly towards LeMay Lake.
A 48" diameter storm sewer presently passes through this development with
LeMay Lake being its ultimate discharge point. This storm sewer provides
drainage for 104 acres of land located within the Eagandale Center Industrial
Park No. 1 as shown in Figure 1. A review of the capacity of this storm
sewer indicates that with full development of the industrial land this storm
sewer line will be easily at its capacity. Therefore, staff recommends
that no additional storm sewer from this development be directed into the
existing 48" diameter storm sewer line. However, since approximately the
most southerly 250 feet of the existing storm sewer must be relocated to
accomodate this development, this portion of the storm sewer line could
be increased to accomodate storm water runoff from the area designated Building
C. The original grading plan as submitted by OPUS Corporation revealed
a berm along the westerly property line adjacent the residential development.
However, this berm was not developed in its entirety. It is staff's understand-
ing the adjacent residents felt the proposed berm was too massive and requested
• its reduction and/or elimination. If a landscaping berm will be required
as a part of this proposed development, it should not impair drainage from
the residential development that naturally flows easterly. Staff's last
concern regarding the proposed grading plan over this proposed development
is that the two berms shown along Lone Oak Road not restrict vehicle sight
distance for safe access onto Lone Oak Road.
Since LeMay Lake is classified as a general recreation lake and under the
jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources, strict adherence to
an approved grading and erosion control plan must be observed. Staff would
recommend that all erosion control be in place prior to commencement of
any grading activities.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist within the proximity
of this proposed development to provide service to it as shown by Figure
2. As can be seen by Figure 2, a 12" sanitary sewer is stubbed to the west
line of this proposed development. A 16" trunk water main is in place along
ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
SEPTEMBER 18, 1984
PAGE 2
the south side of Lone Oak Road across the entire northerly boundary of
this proposed development. An 8" stub has been provided in the location
of the Eagandale Boulevard and Lone Oak Road intersection.
This development is proposing on extending the 12" sanitary sewer through
to its easterly property line with services branching from it to handle
each building. The water main layout and number of hydrants as proposed
is adequate with the exception that the water main stubbed at the fire hydrant
northeast of Building A should be continued northerly to complete an 8"
loop with the 8" stub which was mentioned previously. Also, the water main
on the west side of Building B should be extended from the termination point
at the fire hydrant to the west and continue into the dead-end water main
in place along Poppler Drive. Finally, the water main located east of Building
C should be stubbed out to the east property line to provide future looping
to the adjacent parcel.
It is staff's understanding this development proposes to install these utility
improvements under City contract. Subsequently, it shall be the responsibility
of this development to petition for these improvements. These improvements
must be ordered in by Council prior to final plat approval.
STREETS
Lone Oak Road consists of the only existing street providing access to this
proposed development. Lone Oak Road is under the jurisdiction of Dakota
County and is presently built to a four -lane rural section adjacent this
development. It is anticipated that the ultimate development of Lone Oak
Road' will incorporate a concrete median with full turning access only at
the Eagandale Boulevard intersection.
The internal access to this development is being proposed by providing a
public street under the name of Eagandale Place. This proposed street will
have to be in alignment with Eagandale Boulevard. Internal access to the
apartment buildings will be by way of private drives. The private drives
shall be a minimum of 28 feet wide with bituminous paving and concrete curb
and gutter. However, staff would recommend that the private drive proposed
onto Lone Oak Road to service Building B shall be a minimum of 32 feet wide
to the north underground garage entrance since this is the only access to
this apartment building.
The petition for utility improvement shall also include a request for installing
Eagandale Place under City contract.
RICHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
A minimum of a 50 -foot half right-of-way shall be dedicated adjacent this
development for Lone Oak Road. A 60 -foot right-of-way shall be dedicated
for Eagandale Place.

Easements of sufficient width shall be dedicated over the sanitary sewer,
water main and storm sewer. Also, a ponding easement will be required to
encompass the high water elevation of 877.
In addition, a 10 foot utility easement will be required to be dedicated
adjacent all public right-of-way with a 5. foot drainage utility easement being
dedicated adjacent all remaining lot lines.
ASSESSMENTS
Trunk area water and sanitary sewer have been previously assessed over this
existing development, parcels 10-01000-010-25 and 26. This leaves trunk
area storm sewer and lateral benefit from trunk water main assessments as
the responsibility of this development. The following table summarizes
• these assessment responsibilities of this development.
ASSESSMENT SUMMARY TABLE
Trunk Storm Sewer Area 774,000 S.F. $0.057/S.F. $44,118
Lateral Benefit from
Trunk Water :lain 663 $10.84/F.F. $ 7,187
TOTAL ESTIMATED ASSESSMENT $51,305
Final amounts will be determined based upon final plat net area, excluding
public right-of-way and dedicated ponding easements, and at the rates in
effect at the time of final platting.
• All costs for public improvements shall be the sole responsibility of this
development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail with
the Advisory Planning Commission at the September 26, 1984, meeting.

MEMO TO: THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS &
DATE: OCTOBER 12, 1984
SUBJECT: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
At a special meeting of the Advisory Parks & Recreation
Commission held on Thursday evening, October 11, the Advisory
Commission made an on-site visit and inspection of the proposed
LeMay Lake 1st Addition. The purpose of the meeting was to
determine whether the shore line of LeMay Lake within this
proposed plat is suitable and useable for possible park purposes.
Further, the commission was interested in determining whether a
trailway was feasible extending from the proposed future park
(Donneywood) along the east side of LeMay Lake to this addition.
The commission determined that a trail could be built at sometime
in the future assuming the land acquisition can be accomplished.
There was an extended discussion by the commission relative to
the options of the land dedication vs. a scenic and trail
easement over the LeMay Lake 1st Addition. Also discussed were
the need for a tot lot, active green space for adult useage and
other related topics.
On a motion by Carroll, seconded by Alt, with all members voting
in favor, it was the recommendation of the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission to the City Council to:
1. Accept the cash dedication.
2. Require a tot lot within the development.
3. That a designated area be provided which would be suitable
for adult free play.
4. That a scenic easement 75 feet back from the shoreline
prohibiting the development of boat launches, docks, gazebos or
other constructed amenities be prohibited by the developer.
5. That the City obtain a trail easement within the 75 foot
scenic easement for the construction of a possible future
trailway should the City be able to acquire land parcels to the
east.

SUBJECT TO APPROVAL
MINUTES OF A REGULAR PORTING OF THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
RAGAN, MINNESOTA
DECEMBER 20, 1984
A regular meeting of the Eagan Advisory Planning Commission was held on
Thursday, December 20, 1984 at 7:00 p.m. at the Eagan Municipal Center. Pre-
sent were Members Hall, Wilkins, Taylor, Mulrooney and Krob. Absent were
Members Bohne, McCrea and Wold. Also present were Assistant City Engineer
Hefti, City Planner Runkle, and City Attorney Hauge.
AGENDA
• Mulrooney moved, Krob seconded the motion to approve the Agenda with the
understanding that the application of General Coatings for, revision to a
conditional use permit to allow a new location for an existing pylon sign at
2805 Dodd Road be stricken at the request of the applicant. All members voted
yes.
Wilkins moved, Mulrooney seconded the motion to approve the minutes of
the November 27, 1984 regular meeting. All members voted in favor.
LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
Chairman Hall convened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. regarding the
• application of Opus Corporation and Healey Ramme Corporation for preliminary
plat approval of Lemay Lake 1st Addition consisting of approximately 17.7
acres and containing 288 dwelling units lying south of Lone Oak Road and west
of I -35E. Dale Runkle reviewed the preliminary report including the updated
report dated November 12, 1984. He indicated that there were four major
reasons why the Council requested the applicants return to the Planning Com-
mission, including the following:
1. The Council requested an overall concept plan to indicate how access
would be provided to the property to the east, including an overall circula-
tion pattern. Three commercial buildings abutting Lone Oak Road and I -35E are
reflected, including two additional office buildings. It was noted that the
zoning does not precisely fit the proposal and therefore the applicants were
required to rezone to conform to the proposed concept.
2. Access to the development was also reviewed indicating the major
access would be from Eagandale Blvd. to the south as proposed. There would be
one minor access with right -in right -out between Eagandale Blvd, and Poplar
Drive which would be moved somewhat easterly from the first proposal.

APC Minutes
December 20, 1984
3. The density of the development indicated that the applicants were
over the allotted square footage but with a change in mix, reducing the number
of two-bedroom units and increasing the number of one -bedroom units, they
could comply with the density restrictions.
4. The City has recently adopted a Shoreland Zoning Ordinance and staff
has met with DNR representatives to review the site plan. There is a question
as to whether the parcel requires compliance with the Shoreland Ordinance and
DNR has indicated it would make recommendations only if it stated that the
development is more dense than DNR would prefer.
Bob Worthington of Opus Corporation and Tom Healey of Healey Ramme were •
present. Mr. Worthington explained the land use plan for the entire parcel,
including the commercial land on the east. He stated that Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company has joined in the plat application, owning the property
on the easterly side and that now a circular traffic pattern is being pro-
posed. A traffic study has been completed and it concluded that each of the
two traffic patterns would be satisfactory. He stated the single major inter-
section at Eagandale Blvd. is the safest and most desirable.
Mr. Worthington also mentioned that an EAW for the Eagandale development
had been prepared and that a letter updating the EAW .had been submitted to the
City. He indicated the study noted no significant change between the former
and the current proposals, including water run-off into Lemay Lake.
Tom Healey described the proposed apartment plan. He stated that emer-
gency vehicle access through the center of the project is being proposed. A
six foot continuous berm along the westerly property line with evergreens on •
the top and drainage provisions will be installed with 8 foot berm on the
northerly end. There are also other internal street configuration changes. A
catch basin with skimmer will be installed permitting greater sedimentation
and providing skimming of oil.
He stated that the developers have met with the neighbors to the west and
also southwest across Lemay Lake. A request was made by the neighbors to
remove the southwesterly 6 units of Building B which the developer prefers to
retain. He further explained that the developers had agreed not to build
additional R-4 units in that particular area. No neighboring property owners
were present.
Member Wilkins had questions about the southeasterly triangle. Mr.
Worthington stated that negotiations had taken place with the City for dedi-
cation of the parcel as park and open space with possible access through the
office project. If six units are removed, then the developer could comply
with density.

APC Minutes
December 20, 1984
Member Mulrooney questioned the gross and net density calculations and
Mr. Runkle indicated that the calculations for net density are determined by
taking out public right-of-way and also the private right-of-way. A range of
212 to 354 units could be allowed, depending on the number of bedrooms per
unit. The planner was asked to submit reports with the range of minimum -
maximum density that would be allowed in the multi -family projects.
It was also noted the original EAW was based upon 200 apartment units and
now 288 are being proposed, that an 80,000 square foot office building was
being proposed and now 200,000 square feet of office building is shown on the
plan. Member Mulrooney also questioned whether the concept plan for the
• parcel to the east is firm and Mr. Worthington stated that the general concept
is accurate and that the developers and owners will submit such confirmation
in writing. Member Krob stated that there is no change in the number of units
per acre. There were questions about circulation and it was noted the pre-
vious plan did not have an internal circulation plan. Chairman Hall recom-
mended reducing the project by 6 units to bring it into compliance.
Wilkins then moved, Krob seconded the motion to recommend approval of the
application for preliminary plat and concept plan for the adjacent land with
282 apartment units, subject to the following:
1. No additional storm water runoff shall be added to the existing 48
inch storm sewer, unless the existing storm sewer is increased in size accord-
ingly.
2. Public improvements shall be petitioned by the developer and ordered
• in by the Council prior to final plat approval.
3. This development shall be responsible for constructing a 5 foot
concrete walk along its Lone Oak Road frontage.
4. A minimum 50 foot half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Lone Oak
Road.
5. If a 60 foot right-of-way for Eagandale Place is dedicated, then a 20
foot utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to public right-of-way as
required by Staff.
6. This development shall be responsible for its trunk storm sewer area
and lateral benefit from trunk water main assessments at the rates in effect
at the time of final platting.
7. Easements for ponding, watermain and sanitary sewer shall be dedi-
cated on the final plat.
8. All costs for public improvements associated with this development
shall be the sole responsibility of this development.

9. The access driveway to the southwesterly 108 unit complex shall be a
minimum of 32 feet in width.
10. A six foot berm with evergreens on the top and 8 foot berm along the
northerly portion shall be installed by the developer.
11. The garage driveway on the westerly building shall be turned to run
northerly rather than directly west.
12. No further residential development shall be developed on the entire
parcel, including the parcel to the east.
13. Evergreen screening shall be installed on the south end of the •
westerly building.
14. Catch basins with skimmers shall be installed as proposed by the
developer and approved by the City.
15. The Planning Commission recommends alternate 2 with a looped public
street.
All members voted in favor except Mulrooney who stated that he was not
satisfied that the density of the units had been properly determined and also
that the environmental issues had not been properly considered, noting that
the EAW has not been adequately undertaken for the current proposal.
The hearing was completed at 8:30 p.m.
KING ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT AND REZONING •
- The hearing regarding the application of Gary King for preliminary plat
approval of King Addition and rezoning from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Residen-
tial Single), consisting of 10 lots on 10 acres of land was convened by the
Chairman. It was noted the application had been submitted to the City in
September of 1984 and the proposal was then continued for additional study. A
revision to the plan has now been made. Mr. Runkle detailed the application
and noted that two feasibility studies had been performed with the previous
proposal. Nine of the lots would access from the extension of Golden Meadow
Road and the existing home would continue to take access from the north on
Hackmore Drive. Approximately 4 lots could be created from Lot 2 with access
to Hackmore Drive at some time in the future. Mr. and Mrs. Gary King were
present as well as several neighbors, including Armand Laurent. Mr. Laurent
had concerns about assessments and stated that there was no benefit to his
property if the utilities would be installed.

EXISTING ZONING: A — AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DECEMBER 20, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: DECEMBER 12, 1984
REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
• PROPOSAL SUMMARY: Applications have been submitted requesting a Rezoning
from A (Agricultural District) to R-1 (Residential Single Family District)
& a Preliminary Plat for 10 lots on 10 acres of land. The proposal was before
the APC & City Council in September & was continued for more study. The
applicant has revised the plan & is now resubmitting it.
ZONING & LAND -USE: The existing agricultural zoning would allow 2 dwelling
units on the 10 acre parcel. The proposed R-1 zoning would allow density
of up to 3 units per acre. The parcel is bordered by Northview Meadows &
Sunset 4th on the west & north. Agricultural land lies to the east & south.
The property is a steep slope with a mix of oats & grasses. Much of the
land for Block 2 is a low area north of 8chwanz Lake. An existing home would
remain on Lot 2, Block 1.
CODE COMPLIANCE: The proposal meets all the requirements of an R71 District.
• SITE PLANNING: Nine of the lots would have access off of the extension of
Golden Meadow Rd. The existing home would continue to take access from the
north. Lot 2 retains all of the frontage along the north property line.
If Hackmore Dr. is ever extended through this area, approx. 4 lots could be
created from Lot 2. This is a similar situation to the Sunset 4th plat on
the other side of the Hackmore alignment.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS
This updates the previously prepared Engineering Report dated August 22, 1984.
The major revision involved with this proposed development was to eliminate
all lots abutting Hackmore Dr. thereby eliminating the need for the installation
of public improvements within Hackmore Dr. The public improvements within
Golden Meadow Rd. will still be required.
The Engineering Dept. has no additional concerns regarding this proposed develop—
ment that were not discussed in the August 22nd report. The feasibility report
for Project #419, providing for the installation of public improvements to
this development, may be revitalized with a few minor revisions.

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: DECEMBER 28, 1984
RE: ADVISORY PARKS & REC COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION — KING ADDITION
The Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission had previously reviewed the
proposed preliminary plat for the King Addition.
In as much as the southerly most parcel extends into an area planned for
Schwanz Lake Park, the advisory commission is recommending a land dedication.
Since it is likely that the land required to complete the Schwanz Lake Park
parcel will be less than the land dedication requirement, the commission
recommended that the balance of the dedication requirement be fulfilled by a
cash dedication.

The hearing regarding the application of Gary King for preliminary plat
approval of King Addition and rezoning from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Residen-
tial Single), consisting of 10 lots on 10 acres of land was convened by the
Chairman. It was noted the application had been submitted to the City in
September of 1984 and the proposal was then continued for additional study. A
revision to the plan has now been made. Mr. Runkle detailed the application
and noted that two feasibility studies had been performed with the previous
proposal. Nine of the lots would access from the extension of Golden Meadow
Road and the existing home would continue to take access from the north on
Hackmore Drive. Approximately 4 lots could be created from Lot 2 with access
to Hackmore Drive at some time in the future. Mr. and Mrs. Gary King were

1985 RATE STUDY
C. 1985 Sewer and Water Rate Study -- Every year, the consulting
engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates,
prepare a water and sewer rate study based on the most recently
approved budget and estimated volume of water to be processed.
Enclosed on page S is a summary sheet of the rates associated
with water usage. You will note that the rate per 1,000 gallons
is increased $0.102/1,000 gallons. Seven cents of this increase
is to finance the bonds that were sold to construct the Water
Treatment Plant. It should also be noted that the administrative
rate continues to decrease as more accounts are added to the
system without increasing the administrative personnel necessary
to maintain the system. The overall affect for an average residen-
tial usage of 20,000 gallons per quarter will result in a quarterly •
bill of $20.09 for water as compared to $18.10 in 1984.
Enclosed on page -57 is the sewer rate summary sheet which
reflects the costs associated with Metropolitan Waste Water
Control Commission treatment along with the City's cost to maintain
the collection system. As can be seen, there is no rate increase
anticipated for 1985 for the sewer bill. The sewer bill will
remain constant for every quarter based on the water usage recorded
during the winter quarter. Based on the assumed value of 20,000
gallons during the winter quarter, the average residential bill
will be $22.30/quarter for 1985.
Detailed copies of the entire report will be distributed under
separate cover for the Council's review and approval.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the proposed •
1985 rates for sanitary sewer and water usage to become effective
January 1, 1985.

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: DECEMBER 28, 1984
SUBJECT: INFORMATIVE
NORTHWEST ORIENT AIRLINES CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS
City Councilmember Wachter contacted me yesterday and was curious
as to why Northwest Orient Airlines had not released news about
the corporate headquarters being located in our community. Mayor
Blomquist and I were told that news would be made public on
Wednesday and for that reason I was also becoming concerned as to
why there were no press releases. As a part of the 10:00 news I
was relieved when I heard that Northwest was locating their
• headquarters in the City of Eagan. I am sure all of you have
read the news in either the St. Paul or Minneapolis newspapers
today or heard reports on radio.
OTHER CORPORATE EXPANSION
City staff is meeting with representatives of UPS and it is
apparent that they are proposing to locate a 325,000 square foot
facility in the City of Eagan which will also bring approximately
1000 new employees to our community. Along with Northwest
Orient, UPS, land proposals by Trammel Crow and Federal Land
Company alone there is significant corporate and commercial
development proposed in 1985. This is not to mention all the
other development that will more than likely occur as residential
and commercial. The City Administrator plans to assemble a
forecast for 1985 and take a second look at potential manpower
• needs specifically in the Inspection, Engineering and Planning
Departments.
CEDARVALE SHOPPING CENTER/COMMUNITY ROOM
Enclosed is a copy of a letter received from the Commercial
Properties Manager of Cedarvale Shopping Center regarding the
City's use of a 3000 square foot room to be designated as a
community room. The City Administrator is sending a letter to
Mr. Brown thanking him for this space. A copy of this letter is
enclosed on page 62
DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING CENTER
Enclosed on page _i�_ is a copy of a letter from the
Developmental Learning Center thanking the City Council for

WEST PUBLISHING COMPANY
A letter was received from John Nasseff regarding a suggestion
that Wescott Road be brought up to improved standards west of
Elrene Road. The City Administrator has explained to Mr. Nasseff
that there are a number of streets, thorough fares and collectors
that need to be improved that have greater traffic trip numbers.
This segment of Wescott Road is being considered at some time in
the future for improvement. —
COMPLETION OF I-494 AND I -35E
The City Administrator received a letter from Commissioner
Richard Braun regarding the City Council's recent resolution
asking for the expeditious completion of I-494 and I -35E.
Enclosed is a copy of that letter found on page 6--; .

The City Administrator received a letter from the Director of
Leisure Services for ARC commending the City on the recent
compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. A
copy of this letter is found on page

ACTION CONFERENCE
The City Administrator and more than likely Mayor Blomquist will
be attending the LMC/AMM Legislative Action Conference on
Tuesday, January 29. It would be helpful for the City
Administrator to know if any other members of the City Council
will be attending so that all registrations can be made by the
deadline of January 14. Please review the attached information
on pages (,i through '7() and if you are planning to attend
so indicate on Wednesday evening.
PAGAN PARKING BAN
Enclosed on page -71 is a copy of a letter from Timothy T.
Weidenhaft regarding the Eagan Parking Ban. Also enclosed
without page number is a letter that was received from Allison
Pope who resides in Minneapolis regarding the Parking Ban.
Copies of these letters have been sent to Police Chief Berthe and
Public Works Director Colbert. The City Administrator will
provide a response to both letters after review by the City
Council.

The City Council meeting for January 2 is shaping up as a short
agenda. Because of the New Year holdays there may be some
additional items that come forth on Monday and Wednesday and
Mayor Blomquist has indicated that if those items are brief and
do not require a great deal of background information it is

minutes after the meeting to discuss a time schedule for further

prepared by Author Young which will more than likely require a
special Council meeting.

Re: Community Room
Cedarvale Shonnine Center
Dear Mayor Bloomquist
DEC: i i IJV
I am writing to inform you and the City that Cedarvale Shopping Center
has recently remodeled a 3,000 square foot room to be designated as a
community room. We want the City and other community and civic groups
to feel free to use it and the other facilities at Cedarvale.
The room is fully carpeted, well lighted and would provide an excellent
atmosphere for any Eagan group. It can 'accommodate a group of 5 up
to 200.
We will give this room free of charge with only a small refundable
deposit required if terms of the use are fulfilled.
Persons or groups who are interested may contact me or Michelle
Dorshow at ABC Kiddie Shop for further details.
Thank you.

Eagan, MN 55121
Dear Tom:
Improvements made to Wescott Road in 1977 allowed West Publishing Company
to proceed with plans to construct a 350,000 square foot facility to serve
its shipping and warehouse operations. Completion of the facility in 1978
was the first step in a plan to relocate all shipping, warehouse and production
operations to one modern facility. Initially, 120 full time employees were
assigned to this facility. Average truck traffic at that time was 20 trucks
per day.
Major expansion in 1982 and 1984 have increased the size of the building
to almost 1,000,000 sq. feet. All shipping, warehouse and production operations
are now located at this facility. Presently, almost 700 full time employees
working three shifts per day are assigned to this facility. A railroad
spur was installed in 1982 and truck traffic has increased to 55 trucks
per day.
The hundreds of vehicles that cross #149 are a growing danger. Impediment •
of ingress and egress to this facility is a growing concern to West Publishing
Company. We therefore request that the city of Eagan expedite the surfacing
of Wescott Road to conform to the specifications of a minor arterial street.
We also request that Wescott Road be given top priority relative to snowplowing
and sanding requirements.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Hedges:
Minnesota Department of Transportation
Transportation Building, St. Paul, MN 55155
612-296-3000
Governor Perpich has asked me to respond to your letter regarding your
concern for the completion of I494 and I35E.
There is no truth to the rumor that interstate completion funds will
be shifted from Dakota County to I-394. His commitments to the citizens
of Dakota County are too strong. The latest federal funding made
available is $6.7 million for paving and fencing I35E between TH 77
(Cedar Avenue) and CSAH 26 (Lone Oak Road). This funding was released
October 29, 1984 from limited discretionary funding available to the
Federal Highway Administration. I am sure the Department of
Transportation will find some way to complete the remaining projects
so that completion of I494 and I35E in Dakota County is not delayed.
You may be aware of the more significant problem as Congress cannot
agree and approve the Interstate Cost Estimates (ICE) so that, the Federal
Highway Administration may release interstate funding. This debate
has been prolonged for over a year now. Congress probably will not
be organized to deal with this issue until early next spring. Minnesota
has 18 months of interstate funding curtailed which is about $110 million.
Projects on I394 in Minneapolis, I35 in Duluth, and I35E in St. Paul
are being held up pending congressional action.
I hope you will continue your active support until all segments of the
interstate system in our state are complete.

I am writing in order to voice my dissatisfaction with
.' the new "Eagan Parking Ban". I would like to state that I
feel this ban is excessive in that it is enforced from Nov-
ember through April, rather than during periods of snowfall.
Additionally, I feel the penalties are exorbitant when com-
pared to the seriousness of the offense, during periods when
snow is not present.
In closing, I would like to emphasize my dissatisfaction
with the new ordinance and our city officials who implemented
an ordinance_.which is not favored by the people. Repeal the
Eagan Parking Ban!

ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
EAGAN, MINNESOTA
DECEMBER 13, 1984
A special meeting of the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission was called to
order by Chairman Martin at 7:10 P.M.. Members present were Ketcham, Alt,
Bertz, Martin, Carroll, Fedde, Thurston and Kubik. Commission member, Masin,
had notified the Commission she would be unable to attend. Parks & Recreation
Director, Ken Vraa; Landscape Architect, Steve Sullivan; and Administrative
Assistant, Liz Witt were also present.
BUILDING OBJECTIVE, PURPOSE AND POSSIBLE ACTIVITIES
The Director of Parks & Recreation briefly reviewed the process for developing
• the draft architectural program and the evening workshop session. The
Commission split into two groups to consider the building objectives, purpose
and activities for a structure at Schwanz Lake. After a 45 minute
brainstorming session, all of the generated ideas were placed on the bulletin
board for further review by the Commission as a whole.
The consensus of the Commission was to have the building blend in with the
surroundings, but with solar orientation and in a central location. The
building should be distinctively and imaginatively designed, yet warm and
comfortable. It should also communicate the park's function. Expansion
possibilities should be considered in the design.
The building should have bathrooms, possibly a deck, have a food preparation
area, space for up to 200 people and a fireplace(s). It should be a multi—
season building, perhaps partially enclosed, to serve the summer beach crowd
.and winter enthusiasts. It could have seating both inside and out.
• The buildingshould be close to a parking lot and be handicapped accessible.
The access points and circulation should be related to the activities area.
An information sign with activities posted should be in a visible location.
The building could possibly house a concession stand, provide for storage and
have a walkout basement.
Staff added a few of their thoughts, noting that the building should be
constructed of earthy materials, be easy to maintain and be energy efficient.
The building should be constructed so it could be divided in two and adaptable
to handling more than one event at a time. The building should complement
structures in other Eagan parks. It should have a telephone and PA system.
The Commission remained in two groups and analyzed two different building uses
— Group I had a warming house and Group II had restrooms.
WARMING HOUSE
The following activities were judged to be ones a warming house should
accomodate — skating, skiing, sledding/tubing and indoor lessons for various
recreational programs. The winter design could accomodate up to 100 people.
The interior of the building would be of wood to give a rustic "chalet"
atmosphere. The windows would be solar oriented, be operable and there would
be at least one which would provide a view of the skaters. The structure
might accomodate and be available for overnights. A display board and built—
in screen could be available as teaching aides.
There would be heat and electricity, potable and hot water and inside° access
to restrooms and the fireplace. The warming house could be on the lower level
to provide a walk—out for users. There would be removable rubber matting for
the floor and movable bench seating. There could be a concession area housing
vending machines.
RESTROOMS
Group members detailed intrusion for restrooms indicating size, material,
and relationship. These items were recorded and included in the architectural
program worksheet.
ADJOURNMENT
Parks & Recreation Director, Vraa, said the evening's effort would be as a
draft for further refinement. Slide picture of other building slides and
possibly a field trip to park structures in other communities will be made.
The meeting adjourned at 9:15 P.M..
Dated: Advisory Parks & Recreation Secretary

and discussed with the Council the installation of right-of-way fencing and
surfacing from Cedar Avenue interchange to Lone Oak Road. He noted that the

will not approve the request for relocation of the fence line to the top of
the noise berm to provide the green space to be maintained by the Lakewood •
Homes Development (Hillandale Addition No. 2) due to the fact that the State
had to purchase the property from the then property owner and will not change
the location of the fence unless repurchased by the existing adjacent property
owner. Members discussed the issue and asked the Public Works Director to
pursue the relocation with MnDOT and the FHA.

CEDAR GROVE 3rd, 4th & 5th ADDITIONS - PROJECT #413
STREET CONSTRUCTION
Mayor Bea Blomquist convened the public hearing regarding Project #413
consisting of street reconstruction proposed for Cedar Grove 3rd, 4th and 5th
Additions. City Administrator Tom Hedges introduced the topic and Public
Works Director Tom Colbert reviewed the preliminary report in detail. Mr.
Hedges explained the reasons for the public hearing, including the hearing
held on December 4, 1984, regarding Cedar Grove 3rd and 5th Additions with no
action being taken that evening. Mayor Blomquist indicated that Cedar Grove
5th Addition will be heard first, and the 3rd and 4th Additions will be then •
reviewed and discussed later in the hearing.
Henry Peterson, a property owner in the Cedar Grove 5th Addition had a
question about the Agenda. Councilman Smith indicated that a letter, which he
understood had been written by Mr. Peterson, stating Mr. Smith favored the
project was not accurate and that Councilman Smith had stated emphatically
that he had not made up his mind prior to the hearing as to whether the
improvements should be installed or not. Questions were asked from a number
of affected property owners and a hand count, directed by the Mayor, indicated
two owners in favor and the vast majority were opposed, who were present at
the hearing. Councilman Egan moved to close the hearing and to deny the
project based upon the large opposition to the project, and Wachter seconded
the motion. Councilman Wachter recommended a written referendum to get an
accurate indication of whether the affected owners favored or opposed the
project. Councilman Egan noted that the costs will increase but the people
seem to be willing to assume the risks, so it's therefore a matter of timing
as to when the improvements will take place. All members voted yes. •
The Mayor at 7:25 p.m, convened the hearing concerning Cedar Grove 3rd
and 4th Additions and Mr. Colbert then explained the project with a slide
demonstration, in some detail. He also discussed the service road along
Nicols Road. He noted that the estimated costs are $2,100.00 per lot in the
4th Addition, if the 3rd, 4th and 5th Additions streets were all recon-
structed. Without the 5th Addition, the estimated cost is about $2,000.00 per
lot in the 3rd and 4th Additions.
A large number of resident property owners were present with questions
and one was concerned about the accuracy of the estimates. There were also
concerns about the assessment methods from certain owners present. A question
arose whether, if a parcel on the Nicols Service Road is assessed in this
project, whether it would be assessed at the time of upgrading of Nicols Road.
It was noted that the policy of the Council at the present time is that
property owners on a service road would only be assessed for one improvement.
Some persons spoke in favor and others spoke against the project. With a hand
count of all persons present, 18 were in favor and 25 were opposed with 1 no
opinion. There are 362 lots in the two subdivisions.

Council Minutes

large majority opposing the project. Cedar Grove 4th Addition indicated 16 in
favor and 14 opposed with 191 total lots, and 171 total lots in Cedar Grove
3rd Addition.
Smith then moved, Thomas seconded the motion to close the hearing
regarding Cedar Grove 3rd Addition and to deny the implementation of the
project. All members voted affirmatively. Councilman Wachter suggested a
referendum in Cedar Grove 4th Addition because of a lack of definite
consensus. Mayor Blomquist recommended continuing the hearing until a January
meeting in 1985 and solicit written responses. There were concerns about
• whether written responses would offer adequate information to homeowners
unless they had a chance to be present at a formal hearing. At 9:00 p.m.
Thomas moved, Egan seconded the motion to continue the hearing for the Cedar
Grove 4th Addition only, until the January 15, 1985 regular meeting at 7:00
p.m. at the City Municipal Center. All members voted yes except Wachter who
voted no. The City Administrator was requested to require as much media
coverage as possible and suggested another letter of explanation be sent to
the propertyowners.
SLATERS ACRES - PROJECT 0419 - STREETS & UTILITIES

• Hilla Construction Co, was present as were other neighboring owners. There
were no objections from neighboring owners but questions about the assessment
spread with a recommendation that the spread be 15 years rather than 10 years.

do not include the cost for easement acquisition. The owners of Lots 5, 6,
and 7 of Slaters Acres that would be affected by easement acquisitions were

LEMIAY LAM 1ST ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
Chairman Hall convened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. regarding the
. application of Opus Corporation and Healey Ramme Corporation for preliminary
plat approval of Lemay Lake 1st Addition consisting of approximately 17.7
acres and containing 288 dwelling units lying south of Lone Oak Road and west
of I -35E. Dale Runkle reviewed the preliminary report including the updated
report dated November 12, 1984. He indicated that there were four major
reasons why the Council requested the applicants return to the Planning Com-
mission, including the following:
1. The Council requested an overall concept plan to indicate how access
would be provided to the property to the east, including an overall circula-
tion pattern. Three commercial buildings abutting Lone Oak Road and I-35E.are
reflected, including two additional office buildings. It was noted that the
zoning does not precisely fit the proposal and therefore the applicants were
required to rezone to conform to the proposed concept.
2. Access to the development was also reviewed indicating the major
access would be from Eagandale Blvd. to the south as proposed. There would be
one minor access with right -in right -out between Eagandale Blvd, and Poplar
Drive which would be moved somewhat easterly from the first proposal.

APC Minutes
December 20, 1984
3. The density of the development indicated that the applicants were
over the allotted square footage but with a change in mix, reducing the number
of two-bedroom units and increasing the number of one -bedroom units, they
could comply with the density restrictions.
4. The City has recently adopted a Shoreland Zoning Ordinance and staff
has met with DNR representatives to review the site plan. There is a question
as to whether the parcel requires compliance with the Shoreland Ordinance and
DNR has indicated it would make recommendations only if it stated that the
development is more dense than DNR would prefer.
Bob Worthington of Opus Corporation and Tom Healey of Healey Ramme were •
present. Mr. Worthington explained the land use plan for the entire parcel,
including the commercial land on the east. He stated that Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company has joined in the plat application, owning the property
on the easterly side and that now a circular traffic pattern is being pro-
posed. A .traffic study has been completed and it concluded that each of the
two traffic patterns would be satisfactory. He stated the single major inter-
section at Eagandale Blvd. is the safest and most desirable.
Mr. Worthington also mentioned that an EAW for the Eagandale development
had been prepared and that a letter updating the EAW had been submitted to the
City. He indicated the study noted no significant change between the former
and the current proposals, including water run-off into Lemay Lake.
Tom Healey described the proposed apartment plan. He stated that emer-
gency vehicle access through the center of the project is being proposed. A
six foot continuous berm along the westerly property line with evergreens on
the top and drainage provisions will be installed with 8 foot berm on the
northerly end. There are also other internal street configuration changes. A
catch basin with skimmer will be installed permitting greater sedimentation
and providing skimming of oil.
He stated that the developers have met with the neighbors to the west and
also southwest across Lemay Lake. A request was made by the neighbors to
remove the southwesterly 6 units of Building B which the. developer prefers to
retain. He further explained that the developers had agreed not to build
additional R-4 units in that particular area. No neighboring property owners
were present.
Member Wilkins had questions about the southeasterly triangle. Mr.
Worthington stated that negotiations had taken place with the City for dedi-
cation of -the parcel as park and open space with possible access through the
office project. If six units are removed, then the developer could comply
with density.

APC Minutes
December 20, 1984
Member Mulrooney questioned the gross and net density calculations and
Mr. Runkle indicated that the calculations for net density are determined by
taking out public right-of-way and also the private right-of-way. A range of
212 to 354 units could be allowed, depending on the number of bedrooms per
unit. The planner was asked to submit reports with the range of minimum -
maximum density that would be allowed in the multi -family projects.
It was also noted the original EAW was based upon 200 apartment units and
now 288 are being proposed, that an 80,000 square foot office building was
being proposed and now 200,000 square feet of office building is shown on the
• plan. Member Mulrooney also questioned whether the concept plan for the
parcel to the east is firm and Mr. Worthington stated that the general concept
is accurate and that the developers and owners will submit such confirmation
in writing. Member Krob stated that there is no change in the number of units
per acre. There were questions about circulation and it was noted the pre-
vious plan did not have an internal circulation plan. Chairman Hall recom-
mended reducing the project by 6 units to bring it into compliance.
Wilkins then moved, Krob seconded the motion to recommend approval of the
application for preliminary plat and concept plan for the adjacent land with
282 apartment units, subject to the following:
1. No additional storm water runoff shall be added to the existing 48
inch storm sewer, unless the existing storm sewer is increased in size accord-
ingly.
2. Public improvements shall be petitioned by the developer and ordered
• in by the Council prior to final plat approval.
3. This development shall be responsible for constructing a 5 foot
concrete walk along its Lone Oak Road frontage.
4. A minimum 50 foot half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Lone Oak
Road.
5. If a 60 foot right-of-way for Eagandale Place is dedicated, then a 20
foot utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to public right-of-way as
required by Staff.
6. This development shall be responsible for its trunk storm sewer area
and lateral benefit from trunk water main assessments at the rates in effect
at the time of final platting.
7. Easements for ponding, watermain and sanitary sewer shall be dedi-
cated on the final plat.
8. All costs for public improvements associated with this development
shall be the sole responsibility of this development.

ANG ADDITION - PRELIMIN ANY PLAT AND REZONING
The hearing regarding the application of Gary King for preliminary plat
approval of King Addition and rezoning from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Residen-
tial Single), consisting of 10 lots on 10 acres of land was convened by the
Chairman. It was noted the application had been submitted to the City in
September of 1984 and the proposal was then continued for additional study. A
revision to the plan has now been made. Mr. Runkle detailed the application
and noted that two feasibility studies had been performed with the previous
proposal. Nine of the lots would access from the extension of Golden Meadow
Road and the existing home would continue to take access from the north on
Hackmore Drive. Approximately 4 lots could be created from Lot 2 with access
to Hackmore Drive at some time in the future. Mr. and Mrs. Gary King were
present as well as several neighbors, including Armand Laurent. Mr. Laurent
had concerns about assessments and stated that there was no benefit to his
property if the utilities would be installed.

PAGAN WOODS OFFICE PARR - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The next hearing that came before the Planning Commission concerned the
application of Trammell Crow Company for preliminary plat approval of Eagan
Woods Office Park consisting of 6.60 acres and proposed to contain a 4 story
office building with 72,000 square feet. The second portion of the applica-
tion is concept approval for the total 18.8 acres to constitute the land use
plan for the Eagan Woods Planned Development. The total plan would consist of
either office or hotel which would contain approximately 160 rooms or 55,000
square feet. Dale Runkle reviewed the application in detail with the Planning
Commission and it was noted that the property is now zoned Planned Development
with underlying Roadside Business zoning. He also stated that the history •
includes a review of the airport safety zone ordinance and the new property
owners have purchased the site proposing nearly the same uses that were
originally allowed under the Planned Development.
Tree surveys have been made and it was noted that due to the very rough
site, the developer will provide retaining walls. Mr. Runkle stated the site
characteristics are important and the developer is studying the site in detail
to retain natural amenities. He further noted that a conditional use permit
had been required for a four-story building and suggested review of the appli-
cation with the understanding that a future hearing on the conditional use
will be required.
Robert Hoffman, attorney, and representatives of the applicant were
present. Mr. Hoffman explained the background of Trammell Crow Corporation
noting that it develops properties throughout the United States, including
various types of development and normally retains ownership of its develop- •
ments.
Mr. Hoffman made the following comments:
1. There is adequate space for additional parking, if needed in the
future.
2. He requested that the employee parking spaces be smaller than the
city requirements.

and stated that natural amenities and contours will be maintained to as great
an extent as possible.
Gary O'Brien of Trammell Crow was present and there were no objections to
the application. Rich Hefti stated that easements will be needed including
• area for adequate snow storage adjacent to the internal public street, and
therefore recommended a 60 foot right-of-way. Gary O'Brien indicated that a
20 foot setback variance would not be necessary until construction of the
proposed motel on Outlot A. It was understood that the 20 foot green strip
would be required in the future.

plat approval of Rahneliff 2nd Addition consisting of one 5.7 acre lot to
include a 65,000 square foot three-story office building, came before the
Planning Commission. Dale Runkle explained the project and noted the site
plan provides for 305 surface parking spaces and 70 underground parking
stalls, which exceeds the 347 parking spaces required by City Code. Extensive
noise control methods should be utilized, including berming, landscaping and
architectural design which could lessen the noise impact. Charles Novak,
architect, and Jim Hill, Planner, were present. Mr. Novak stated that a
window glazing system with glass set in rubber gaskets, and the thickness of
the walls will tend to out down the noise impact on the building. A row of
trees will be constructed along the freeway side and the Planning Commission

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: DECEMBER 27, 1984
SUBJECT: ANNUAL REVIEW OF PARKS DEDICATION FEES/ADVISORY COMMISSION
ACTION
Background
The Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission, in accordance with its
adopted practice and policy, annually reviews the park dedication
fees for recommendation to the City Council, effective the first of
the year. The City did increase its fees, amounting to approxi-
mately 5%, on January 1, 1984. At its regular meeting in November
and on December 6, the commission reviewed the available information
relative to parks dedication fees and recommended an increase in
residential fees for 1985.
Commission Discussion
Members reviewed information on recent land sales within Eagan.
Although there were few residential comparisons and most of these
were multiple zoned properties, the commission's finding was that
land costs were continuing to increase.
Staff commented that the comparison method is not precise, with
costs affected by location, terms of the purchase, topography,
availability of utilities, etc.
Member Kubik noted that the cost of living appears to be running
close to 5% this year and supported a fee increase in this amount.
Other members agreed and reasoned that it was still best to annually
adjust the fee moderately rather. than to fall too far behind in
•
periods of rapid land cost escalation.
Commission Recommendation
After commission discussion, the members recommended to the City
Council that the formula for computing park dedication fees be in-
creased from the current $10,500 an acre to $11,000 per acre, re-
sulting in a fee schedule as follows:
Single Family $440
Multiple Family 365
Apartment Units 278
(Note: Current fees are $420, $348 and $265, respectively.)
For Council Action
It would be appropriate for the City Council to establish the park
dedication fees effective January 1, 1985.

PERSONNEL ITEMS
B. Personnel Items -- 1. Promotion of Cadet to Police Officer --
The City is expecting a resignatin from Ken Conyers. Therefore,
Chief of Police Berthe and the City Administrator are recommending
the appointment of Kevin McGrath for the replacement of Officer Con-
yers. Mr. Conyers is relocating to Florida where he is assuming
a law enforcement position with a sheriff's department. It appears
the resignation will be effective during the middle to latter part
of February. Therefore, due to the two month training program for
new officers, it is advantageous that Mr. McGrath be hired to fill
the vacancy as soon as the resignation is formally received from
• Ken Conyers.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To authorize the City Ad-
ministrator to hire Kevin McGrath for the replacement of Ken Conyers
as soon as Mr. Conyers' formal resignation is received by the City.
Special Note: It is expected that Mr. Conyers will submit his re-
signation in the next several days and it is advantageous for Mr.
McGrath to be hired as soon as possible to begin the training pro-
gram so the City is not deficient a police officer for any signifi-
cant period of time.
Z. Engineering Tech I -- The approved 1985 Budget created a
full-time Engineering Tech I position in the Public Works Depart-
ment. The duties and responsibilities of this position has
• previously been fulfilled through a temporary intern. A formal
job description was prepared and notices posted pertaining to
this newly created vacancy. In response to the posted notices,
the Assistant City Engineer and Director of Public Works reviewed
the applications and is recommending the Council approval of
Mr. John Sachi to fill the newly created vacancy of Engineering
Tech I at the established rate of pay of $17,500 per year.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Approve the hiring of
John Sachi as an Engineering Tech I at the established rate
of pay for that position.

SCOPE: This project provides for the reconstruction of Rahn Road from Beau De
Rue Drive to a point 150' south of Shale Lane. Also included is construction
of a 5' wide concrete sidewalk from Shale Lane to Turquoise Trail. Rahn Road
is considered a neighborhood collector street in the City of Eagan. The ma-
jority of the property abutting Rahn Road is single family residential, with a
few large apartment complexes, a church and a commercial business.
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATION: This project is feasible from an engineering
standpoint and is in accordance with street reconstruction in the City of
Eagan. The project as outlined herein can best be carried out as one con-
tract. Rahn Road is included on the Municipal State Aid Street System in the
City of Eagan. It is, therefore, recommended the plans be prepared in accor-
dance with Municipal State Aid Standards and be submitted to the State Aid
Office for their review and to determine that portion eligible for Municipal
State Aid Funds. Therefore, Rahn Road will have to be upgraded in accordance
with Municipal State Aid Standards.
DISCUSSION: Rahn Road is considered a neighborhood collector street in the
City of Eagan and conveys the traffic from the abutting Cedar Grove Addi-
tions. Adjusted traffic counts taken along Rahn Road are as follows:
Average Daily Traffic
South
of
Beau De
Rue
Drive South
5800
North
of
Co.
Rd.
No.
30 (Diffley
Road)
3300
South
of
Co.
Rd.
No.
30 (Diffley
Road)
1740
North
of
Co.
Rd.
No.
32 (Cliff Road)
1660
As shown
by
the
traffic
counts, the
traffic north
of Co. Rd. No. 30 to
Beau De Rue Drive is considerably higher than south of Co. Rd. No. 30. Any
increase in the volume of traffic along Rahn Road will be dependent upon the
development of the property east of Rahn Road. It should be noted, that the
Page 1.
3880c
IZ
traffic counts presented above were taken in 1983 prior to all the traffic re-
routing associated with the construction of I -35E.
That portion of Rahn Road proposed to be upgraded as part of this project
was constructed in three parts. The portion from Co. Rd. No. 30 to Turquoise
Trail was constructed in 1966. The portion from Turquoise Trail to Beau De
Rue Drive was constructed in 1967-1968. While the remaining portion from Co.
Rd. No. 30 to a point 150' south of Shale Lane was constructed in 1969. The
sidewalk from Beau De Rue Drive to Turquoise Trail was constructed in 1975.
The existing typical street section for the most part includes an 1'1" - 2"
thick bituminous surface constructed over zero to 16 inches of aggregate
•
base. The street was constructed to a 36 feet width with a machine laid bitu-
minous curb. The integrity of Rahn Road north of Co. Rd. No. 30 to Beau De
Rue Drive has deteriorated to the point where constructing a bituminous over-
lay is no longer feasible. Soil borings taken within this portion also show
that the existing gravel base has become contaminated with the subgrade
soils. The subgrade soils are a sandy and clay loam which are not the most
conducive soils for street construction. Therefore, due to the high traffic
volumes, it is recommended Rahn Road from Co. Rd. No. 30 to Beau De Rue Drive
•
be completely reconstructed with a new gravel base, bituminous surface, and
concrete curb and gutter.
Rahn Road south of Co. Rd. No. 30 to Shale Lane for the most part has
maintained its grade and cross section. This is due not only because the
traffic volumes are considerably less than north of Co. Rd. No. 30 but also
because the subgrade soils are considerably better. However, the existing bi-
tuminous surface in conjunction with the abutting bituminous curb has provided
15 years of service and for a collector street is at the point where a seal
coat is no longer the most cost effective approach from a maintenance stand -
Page 2.
3880c
�3
point. Therefore, it is recommended a bituminous overlay be constructed on
Rahn Road south of Co. Rd. No. 30 to a point_150' south of Shale lane in con-
junction with new concrete curb and gutter. To construct a bituminous overlay
at this time will also result in a minimal amount of patching and future main-
tenance.
As previously mentioned, the existing width of Rahn Road is 36 feet face
of curb to face of curb and that Rahn Road is a Municipal State Aid Street.
To utilize State Aid Funds, Rahn Road must be upgraded in accordance with a
Municipal State Aid Standards. As a result, if State Aid Funds are to be used
• only certain street widths can be considered. Various street widths and their
respective functions are listed below:
36 feet - two thru lanes with one parking lane
40 feet - two thru lanes with one turn lane and no parking
44 feet - two thru lanes with two parking lanes on each side
48 feet - four thru lanes with no parking
Beau De Rue Drive and Rahn Road north of Beau De Rue Drive are presently
44 feet wide. Rahn Road from a point 150 feet south of Shale Lane to Co. Rd.
• No. 32 (Cliff Road) is also 44 feet wide. It is recommended Rahn Road from
Co. Rd. No. 30 to a point 150 feet south of Shale Lane be constructed to a 44
feet width such that the horizontal location of the west curb line will not
change. The additional 8 feet width will be constructed entirely on the east
side where ample right-of-way exist, except for one unplatted parcel 210 feet
long. This will provide a consistent width from co. Rd. No. 30 to Co. Rd. No.
32 and also provide two parking lanes. It is also proposed to construct a 5'
wide concrete sidewalk on the east side.
From Co. Rd. No. 30 to Turquoise Trail the existing right-of-way is 66
feet except at the two large apartment complexes where the right-of-way is 73
Page 3.
3880c
I4
feet. Approximately 22 residential homes access to Rahn Road through this
portion in which half are located on each side of the street. Due to the min-
imal existing right-of-way, it is recommended the street width remain 36 feet
and that parking be provided along the west side only with no parking on the
east side. It is recommended the street width be increased at Co. Rd. No. 30
to 40 feet to privide a left turn lane to the east. A 5' wide concrete side-
walk is proposed along the east side from Co. Rd. No. 30 to Carnelian Lane and
on the west side from Carnelian Lane to Turquoise Trail. At this point, it
will connect to an existing sidewalk. The sidewalk will be constructed l foot •
in from the property line thus providing an 8.5 feet boulevard. An alternate
is included for consideration which provides for a 44 feet wide street from
Co. Rd. No. 30 to Turquoise Trail. A 44 feet width is being considered due to
the ability to provide parking on both sides if required or necessary. How-
ever, some of the concerns in constructing a 44' wide street is that the
street would have to be widened 4 feet on each side in addition to acquiring
additional right-of-way for the sidewalk if an 8.5 feet boulevard is to be
maintained. Also the additional cost would be the responsibility of the Major •
Street Fund and would not be assessed.
From Turquoise Lane to Beau De Rue Drive, it is recommended Rahn Road be
constructed 40 feet wide with two thru lanes and a center turn lane. It is
felt parking is not necessary in this area due to the steep grade that exists
on Rahn Road. A center turning lane is also recommended because of the high
amount of turning movements into the high density apartment complex and onto
Turquoise Trail which also serves as a neighborhood collector. A left turn
lane will be provided at both Beau De Rue Drive and Turquoise Trail.

IS
It is proposed that Rahn Road be constructed to a 9 ton design thickness
in accordance with Municipal State Aid Standards. Traffic volumes and sub -
grade soil conditions are utilized in determining the design thickness.
Adjustment of existing structures (manholes, catch basin, valves, etc.) is
also included in conjunction with restoration of boulevards and driveways.

COST ESTIMATE: A detailed cost estimate is presented in Appendix A located at
the back of this report. The total estimated project cost is $761,900 which
includes contingencies and all related overhead. Overhead costs are estimated
at 27% and include legal, engineering, administration, and bond interest.
As previously indicated an alternate is included for constructing a 44'
wide street from Co. Rd. No. 30 to Turquoise Trail in lieu of 36' wide
street. A detail. cost. estimate is not included in Appendix A, however, a de-
tailed cost analysis was done and the total estimated project would increase
to $830,710. This represents a cost increase of $68,810 which does not in-
clude any additional costs to acquire easements. •
ASSESSMENTS: Assessments are proposed to be levied against the benefited
property. A preliminary assessment roll is included in Appendix B located at
the back of this report.
Three assessment rates were determined in assessing the abutting property
within this project. The three rates and their respective amounts are listed
below:
Residential Rate $1,746/Lot Equivalent
Multiple Rate $2,619/Lot Equivalent •
Commercial Rate $54.96/F.F.
The residential rate was determined based on the rate established in the
feasibility report for Cedar Grove No. 3, 4, & 5 Street Reconstruction - Proj-
ect No. 413. All residential platted lots are to be assessed on a per lot
basis. Residential property which is not platted is proposed to be assessed
on a lot equivalent basis in which one lot equivalent is considered 75 feet.
Residential corner lots are proposed to be assessed only if their driveway
access is directly onto Rahn Road. Property which is not considered residen-
tial or commercial is proposed to be assessed at the multiple rate (churches,
Page 6.
3880c 7
apartments, etc.) on a lot equivalent basis. The multiple rate is 150% more
than the residential rate. The commercial rate per front foot is determined
by dividing the total project cost by the lineal feet of street constructed
times 2 ($761,900 r (6931 L.F. x 2) _ $54.96/F.F.). Commercial property is
proposed to be assessed on a front foot basis.
REVENUE SOURCES: Revenue sources to cover the cost of this project are as
follows:
Project Cost Revenue Balance
Street $761,900
• Street Assessment $238,000
TOTAL $761,900 $238,000 —$523,900
It is anticipated $523,900 will be required from the Major Street Fund.
It should be noted, however, that all construction costs and a portion of the
overhead costs will be eligible for Municipal State Aid Funds.
In the event the alternate is approved, the Major Street Fund Obligation

VACATION/PONDING EASEMENT/HOLMES ADDN.
B. Vacation of Ponding Easement, Holmes Addition -- On December 4,
the City Council authorized the execution of a Quit Claim document
releasing all previously acquired rights associated with a ponding
and utility easement dedicated to the City in 1972 over that
portion of the property now platted as the Holmes Addition.
Subsequent to that action, representatives of the Title Insurance
Company indicate that this easement must be vacated by a formal
public hearing process to clear all title questions.
While it was originally intended that all notices would be published
in anticipationof scheduling the public hearing for the January
• 2 meeting, the holiday schedule of the legal newspapers precluded
the proper length of notification and publication. Subsequently,
this item must be continued until the January 15 meeting to
comply with all required procedures.
U]
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Continue the public hearing
for the vacation of the ponding easement over the Holmes Addition
until January 15, 1985.

OFF -SALE LIQUOR LICENSES/1985
A. Status of Off -Sale Liquor Licenses for 1985 -- At the February
7, 1984 City Council meeting, a motion was approved as follows:
"Smith moved, Blomquist seconded the motion not to change the off -
sale liquor license policy and to require that one of the active,
existing licenses be activated in southern Eagan in 1984 or to be
open to application. Smith, Blomquist and Wachter voted in favor;
Thomas voted nay and Egan abstained. Egan then moved, Wachter
seconded the motion that the Council consider the renewal of the
Parranto application in 1985 if the license is not activated in •
1984. All voted yes." The City has notified Mr. J. E. Parranto
in a letter dated February 14 that his license must be used during
1984 or the license will be available for another applicant. Also,
a letter was sent to Mr. Parranto dated October 26, 1984 reminding
him of the City Council's action at the February 7 meeting. Copies
of those letters are enclosed for review by the City Council on
pages �,S " through z 6 . This item is placed on the agenda to
address the motion that was passed on February 7 to "consider the
renewal of the Parranto application in 1985 if the license is not
activated in 1984". The application was processed with all other
liquor licenses in the early fall of 1984. However, to date, the
City' has not received a specific location or intended purpose for
the license and therefore this item is placed on the agenda for fur-
ther consideration regarding the ongoing renewal of the Parranto
liquor license.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To further consider the off- •
sale liquor license that was granted to J. E. Parranto.

Re: J. E. Parranto Liquors Off -Sale Intoxicating Liquor License
Dear Mr. Parranto:
In official action at a regular meeting held October 16, 1984, the
City Council renewed the above referenced license for 1985. I have
been instructed to remind you, however, of the action taken
previously at the February 7, 1984, meeting at which time the City
Council stated that if this license was not actually used during
1984 it would be available for another applicant. A copy of my
letter notifying you of that action is enclosed for your review.
You are therefore being put on notice that the 1985 renewal does
not alter the City Council's action of February 7. Unless the
license issued to you is actually used during 1984, the City
Council is planning .to hold a public hearing in January of 1985 to
determine a new course of action.
Please contact the appropriate City official, if you have any
additional questions regarding your license.
Sincerely,
E, \v041

RE: CONTRACTORS LICENSE FOR JIM MCMANN & RHEYNARD WALTON
dba MC.R.S.IND INC
P.O. BOX 24427
APPLE VALLEY, MN 55124
The license bond of $5,000, the Certificate of Insurance for $300,000 in
aggregate and the $25.00 filing fee is on file with the City. This company
has apparently been formed to install Dynamic manufactured homes of Detroit
• Lakes, Minnesota in this area. These homes are certified by the State of
Minnesota and applicants for the contractors license are real estate sales
persons and have done a few conventional dwellings in Apple Valley and
Lakeville. However, their references seem based solely on the manufactured
modular home which is set in place on a wood foundation. This contractor's
license application was held back from the December 18, 1984 City of Eagan
Council Meeting because upon screening the references, it was found that Mr.
McMann had been affiliated at one time with a Mr. Quam who was doing business
as Gold Key Realty and Sunwood Energy Homes. Mr. Quam's companies were noted
for their disregard of City policies and their clients in Mendota Heights,
Cottage Grove and Eagan such as starting construction without building permits
and not calling for inspections. Mr. Quam has a history of returning for a
license under a new name. I have been attempting, with little success, to
insure that there is no connection between MC.R.S. Industrial Inc. and Mr.
Quam in this license application as I will not license Mr. Quam to build in
Eagan. Until MC.R.S. can provide better references in regards to past
performance, the department cannot recommend licensing.

LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION/PRELIMINARY PLAT
A. Alscor/Opus Co., for Preliminary Plat of Lemay Lake 1st Addition
& a Concept Plan for Adjacent Commercial Land, Consisting of Approx-
imately 290 Apartment Units -- A public hearing was held by the Ad-
visory Planning Commission at their last regular meeting held on
December 20, 1984 to consider a preliminary plat of Lemay Lake 1st
Addition and a concept plan for adjacent commercial land, consisting
of approximately 290 apartment units on 17.7 acres. As the City
Council recalls, this item was first reviewed by the APC at the Sep-
tember 25 planning commission meeting and then by the City Council
• at the October 16 meeting. There were a number of concerns expres-
sed at that meeting regarding the need for an overall concept plan
to determine how this project would relate to future development
adjacent to the I -35E corridor and also property owners residing
around Lemay Lake. The Opus Corporation has revised the plan and
prepared a new plat and concept plan for the development of adjacent
commercial land for review by the APC. The Advisory Planning Com-
mission is recommending approval of the revised plan subject to some
addtional conditions that were agreed to as a result of the public
hearing and planning commission discussion. The City Administrator
has asked the Planning Department to coordinate the conditions that
were reviewed and set forth at both the September 25 and December
20 planning commission meetings, which include recommendations by
the commission and City staff into one consolidated list of recom-
mendations for review by the City Council. The list of recommenda-
tions is a part of the information for review by the City Council.

MEMO TO: CHARLES HALL & THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
DATE: DECEMBER 12, 1984
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
The Advisory Planning Commission reviewed Lemay Lake 1st Addition at the
September 25, 1984 Planning Commission meeting. This item was then scheduled
for the October 16,' 1984 City Council meeting. At this City Council meeting,
the Council had issues concerning this development in regard to adjacent property
to the east. They wanted an overall concept plan as.to how this access to
Lemay Lake would tie in to the property to the east. The applicants have
worked with the adjacent property owners to provide an overall circulation
pattern as to how the property to the east will develop. In this concept
plan, there are three (3) commercial buildings abutting Lone Oak Rd. and I -35E.
The applicants have illustrated two restaurants and a car service facility.
• To the south, the applicants are proposing two (2) additional office buildings
with a circulation pattern of either a "Y" design, with two cul—de—sacs looping
the cul—de—sacs through private drives, or it could be potentially converted
into an overall loop street, whichever the City would .require. Also, there
have been a number of concept plans showing either two smaller office buildings
or one larger office building which could develop on the site and still provide
adequate circulation.
In review of this concept, the zoning is not exactly as what is being proposed.
Therefore, if the City agrees with the concept, the applicants should then
request a zoning to conform with this use if the City agrees with the proposed
concept in use in this location.
The second issue was regarding access to this development. In reviewing this
proposal again, it has been determined the major access will be the extension
of Eagandale Blvd. to the south as proposed. There would be one minor access,
• or right in, right out to the west of Eagandale Blvd. and between Poplar Dr.
The. minor access would be a right in, right out and would provide additional
circulation to the development. However, another major access, or looping
a minor access through this development, does not appear to be feasibile for
the layout of this particular site. The applicants have reviewed this proposal
with Dakota County and it is the City's understanding that Dakota County will
allow a secondary access, however, not a second major access to this development
proposal.
Another issue the Council had was with density of this development request.
Staff has recalculated the density of this development and it was determined
that the net developable acres of the site was 17.71 acres and the applicants,
according to their mix of dwelling units, were 15,752 sq. ft. over the allotted
square footage for the 1/3 or 96 one bedroom and 2/3 two bedroom units or
192 units. In changing this mix, by reducing the number of 2's and adding
it to the number of 11s, the applicants can come within the square footage
of the ordinance for developable density. In review of the total site density,
30
APC - UPDATE ON LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
DECEMBER 12, 1984
PAGE TWO
the applicants are at 16.2 units per net acre. Even though these units do
meet the ordinance criteria, the City has indicated that this density is high
and would like to potentially negotiate a reduction in units. If the applicant
reduced the site density by 24 units, it would then have a net density of
15 units per acre which may be more attractive to the City for a development
proposal.
The last item that Staff would like to mention is that since the time. this
application had been reviewed by the APC and City Council, the City has adopted
the Shoreline Zoning Ordinance. Staff is reviewing this development against
the shoreline criteria and has also scheduled a meeting with the DNR to review
this site plan in regard to the Shoreline Ordinance criteria. Staff will
update the APC as to the outcome of the meeting with DNR and hopefully have
letters from them regarding their concerns of this development proposal.
This meeting has not taken place, but will have occurred prior the Public
Hearing of November 20, 1984.
Staff has included the original Staff Report dated 9/18/84 for your review
because the site plan has not changed substantially and only minor revisions
have been made in access off of Eagandale Blvd. The proposed development
will consist of the 3 buildings and are in the same locations as was originally
proposed. Therefore, the Staff report will give background information on
density, setbacks, etc. in review of this request.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact
me at the City Hall.
Sincerely,
Xunkle

ENGINEERING COMMENTS - LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
The major revision from the September 18,-1984 plan, is the alignment of Eagan -
dale Place. Rather than dead ending into the property to the east of this
proposed development, it now has a reverse curve which places one half of
the street right-of-way on this development with the other half of the street
right-of-way to be located on the parcel to the east. Staff has no problem
with this alignment as proposed. This alignment will provide excellent access
into the parcel between this development and I -35E. Staff prefers the looped
public street alternative over the 2 cul-de-sac alternative from a maintenance
and public safety standpoint.
As for the physical construction
Eagandale Pl. be a minimum of 40'

APC UPDATE ON LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
DECEMBER 12, 1984
PAGE THREE
The right-of-way being proposed to be dedicated for Eagandale P1. is 60'.
Staff feels that where the wider street will be required, also a wider right-of-
way should also be required. Therefore, this development shall either increase
the right-of-way width to 80' for Eagandale Pl. where the above referenced
40' wide street will be required or provide a 20' utility easement adjacent
the right-of-way in lieu of the normal 10' utility easement required. In
addition, the half right-of-way for Eagandale P1., located on the parcel east
of this development, should also be included on the final plat.
All remaining information pertaining to this proposed development as reported
in the September 18th Engineering Report to the APC remains the same.
RECOMMENDATIONS (Revised)
1. No additional storm water runoff be added to the existing 48" storm sewer,
unless the existing storm sewer is increased in size accordingly.
2. Public improvements shall be petitioned by the developer and ordered in
is
by Council prior to final plat approval.
3. This development shall be responsible for constructing a 5' concrete walk
along its Lone Oak Rd. frontage.
4. A minimum 50' half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Lone Oak Rd.
5. If a 60' right-of-way for Eagandale P1. is dedicated, then a 20' utility
easement will be required to be dedicated adjacent to public right-of-way
as required by Staff.
6. This development shall be responsible for its trunk storm sewer area and
final benefit from trunk watermain assessments at the rates in effect
at the time of final platting.
7. Easements for ponding, watermain and sanitary sewer shall be dedicated
• on the final plat.
8. All costs for public improvements associated with this development shall
be the sole responsibility of this development.
9. The access driveway to the southwesterly 114 unit complex will be required
to be a minimum of 32' in width.
10. Eagandale Place must align with Eagandale Boulevard to provide for a
four-way intersection.
11. Catch basins and skimming devices be provided with the development
in order to keep the water as clean as possible before entering Lemay
Lake.
12. The loop concept be the alternate accepted for the circulation to
the sketch plan on the east.
13. The driveway, providing access to the westerly apt. complex, be altered
in order that less of an angle is provided in this driveway access.

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT — LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
APPLICANT: BOB WORTHINGTON & TOM HEALEY
LOCATION: PART OF NE'k OF THE NA OF SECTION 10
EXISTING ZONING. R-4 (RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: SEPTEMBER 25, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: SEPTEMBER 18, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
• APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted for Preliminary Plat
approval for Lemay Lake 1st Addition consisting of approximately 17.7 acres and
containing 288 dwelling units located in the NEk of the NWZ of Section 10.
ZONING & LAND USE
Presently the property is zoned R-4 (Residential Multiple) and would only allow
high density multiple development on the parcel. The Comprehensive Guide Plan
designates this parcel as an R-3 (Mixed Residential) with 6 to 12 dwelling units
per acre. The development proposal consists of 16 units per acre which is
slightly higher than the Comprehensive Guide Plan, however, it is within the
guidelines of the R-4 zoning district.
COMMENTS
In review of this development proposal, there are two people that should be
• mentioned. The first person is Mr. Robert Worthington of Opus Corporation.
This parcel has been owned by Opus for a number of years and has had a multiple
zoning on this property during that time. Opus Corporation's involvement is
to plat the property in order that the multiple would be allowed as proposed.
Mr. Tom Healey, President of Healey Ramme Company, are the developers of the
proposed development project. They have built multiple projects in Minnetonka
and Bloomington and are now proposing development in the City of Eagan.
The proposed development consists of 3 multiple buildings; one building contain—
ing 60 dwelling units and the remaining two containing 114 dwelling units each.
It is Staff's understanding that the mix within the project will be, 1/3 of
the units having 1 bedroom and 2/3 of the units having 2 bedrooms for a total
of 288 dwelling units. The development will be a 3 story apartment complex with
each of the buildings having underground parking. The applicants are proposing
to have 288 underground parking spaces and 288 surface parking for a total of
2 parking spaces per unit. This has been permissible with the understanding
and condition that each of the garage spaces be part of the rental price of the
dwelling unit. The applicants have indicated that this will be incorporated
into their rental package.
PRELIMINARY PLAT — LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
APC — SEPTEMBER 25, 1984
PAGE 2.
In review of the site plan, all buildings meet and exceed all of the setback
requirements from all property lines. Access to this development is proposed
from Lone Oak Road. They are proposing to extend Eagandale Blvd. to the south
and loop this street easterly to provide access to the property to the east.
Access would be taken from this extension of Eagandale south of Lone Oak Road.
The applicants are also proposing one additional access from Lone Oak Road on
the west side of the property. This would be a private street or drive which
would provide access to approximately 1 to 1/2 buildings. The most northerly
building would have access either the proposed private street and the access
from Eagandale extension. The site plan has been designed in order to provide
as many views to Lemay Lake as can be obtained on the site. The buildings are
angled slightly in order to maximize the number of views to Lemay Lake. The
development is also proposing an amenity package which would include a pool or
central amenity feature and pathway to Lemay Lake. They are also working with
the Park Department in order to essentially dedicate some trailway easements
around Lemay Lake. This item will be before the Park's Commission on October •
4 for their review. In reviewing the outside parking, it appears that the 288
spaces would be the number required. In scaling these dimensions, it appears
that these spaces have been laid out at a 9 foot width and the ordinance would
require that these be expanded to a 10 foot width by either an 18 or 20 foot
dimension in order to come into conformance with the Eagan parking requirements.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 18, 1984
SUBJECT: LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the following
comments regarding this proposed development for consideration by the Advisory
Planning Commission and City Council:
GRADING/DRAINAGE
Some grading has already been accomplished over this parcel under a grading
permit issued to OPUS. This work was done in conjunction with the excavation
for 35-E. Subsequently, grading was accomplished in such a way that all
• drainage was directed southerly towards LeMay Lake.
A 48" diameter storm sewer presently passes through this development with
LeMay Lake being its ultimate discharge point. This storm sewer provides
drainage for 104 acres of land located within the Eagandale Center Industrial
Park No. 1 as shown in Figure 1. A review of the capacity of this storm
sewer indicates that with full development of the industrial land this storm
sewer line will be easily at its capacity. Therefore, staff recommends
that no additional storm sewer from this development be directed into the
existing 48" diameter storm sewer line. However, since approximately the
most southerly 250 feet of the existing storm sewer must be relocated to
accomodate this development, this portion of the storm sewer line could
be increased to accomodate storm water runoff from the area designated Building
C. The original grading plan as submitted by OPUS Corporation revealed
a berm along the westerly property line adjacent the residential development.
However, this berm was not developed in its entirety. It is staff's understand-
ing the adjacent residents felt the proposed berm was too massive and requested
• its reduction and/or elimination. If a landscaping berm will be required
as a part of this proposed development, it should not impair drainage from
the residential development that naturally flows easterly. Staff's last
concern regarding the proposed grading plan over this proposed development
is that the two berms shown along Lone Oak Road not restrict vehicle sight
distance for safe access onto Lone Oak Road.
Since LeMay Lake is classified as a general recreation lake and under the
jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources, strict adherence to
an approved grading and erosion control plan must be observed. Staff would
recommend that all erosion control be in place prior to commencement of
any grading activities.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist within the proximity
of this proposed development to provide service to it as shown by Figure
2. As can be seen by Figure 2, a 12" sanitary sewer is stubbed to the west
line of this proposed development. A 16" trunk water main is in place along
ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
SEPTEMBER 18, 1984
PAGE 2
the south side of Lone Oak Road across the entire northerly boundary of
this proposed development. An 8" stub has been provided in the location
of the Eagandale Boulevard and Lone Oak Road intersection.
This development is proposing on extending the 12" sanitary sewer through
to its easterly property line with services branching from it to handle
each building. The water main layout and number of hydrants as proposed
is adequate with the exception that the water main stubbed at the fire hydrant
northeast of Building A should be continued northerly to complete an 8"
loop with the 8" stub which was mentioned previously. Also, the water main
on the west side of Building B should be extended from the termination point
at the fire hydrant to the west and continue into the dead-end water main
in place along Poppler Drive. Finally, the water main located east of Building
C should be stubbed out to the east property line to provide future looping
to the adjacent parcel.
It is staff's understanding this development proposes to install these utility
improvements under City contract. Subsequently, it shall be the responsibility
of this development to petition for these improvements. These improvements
must be ordered in by Council prior to final plat approval.
STREETS
Lone Oak Road consists of the only existing street providing access to this
proposed development. Lone Oak Road is under the jurisdiction of Dakota
County and is presently built to a four -lane rural section adjacent this
development. It is anticipated that the ultimate development of Lone Oak
Road' will incorporate a concrete median with full turning access only at
the Eagandale Boulevard intersection.
The internal access to this development is being proposed by providing a
public street under the name of Eagandale Place. This proposed street will
have to be in alignment with Eagandale Boulevard. Internal access to the
apartment buildings will be by way of private drives. The private drives
shall be a minimum of 28 feet wide with bituminous paving and concrete curb
and gutter. However, staff would recommend that the private drive proposed
onto Lone Oak Road to service Building B shall be a minimum of 32 feet wide
to the north underground garage entrance since this is the only access to
this apartment building.
The petition for utility improvement shall also include a request for installing
Eagandale Place under City contract.
RICHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
A minimum of a 50 -foot half right-of-way shall be dedicated adjacent this
development for Lone Oak Road. A 60 -foot right-of-way shall be dedicated
for Eagandale Place.

Easements of sufficient width shall be dedicated over the sanitary sewer,
water main and storm sewer. Also, a ponding easement will be required to
encompass the high water elevation of 877.
In addition, a 10 foot utility easement will be required to be dedicated
adjacent all public right-of-way with a 5. foot drainage utility easement being
dedicated adjacent all remaining lot lines.
ASSESSMENTS
Trunk area water and sanitary sewer have been previously assessed over this
existing development, parcels 10-01000-010-25 and 26. This leaves trunk
area storm sewer and lateral benefit from trunk water main assessments as
the responsibility of this development. The following table summarizes
• these assessment responsibilities of this development.
ASSESSMENT SUMMARY TABLE
Trunk Storm Sewer Area 774,000 S.F. $0.057/S.F. $44,118
Lateral Benefit from
Trunk Water :lain 663 $10.84/F.F. $ 7,187
TOTAL ESTIMATED ASSESSMENT $51,305
Final amounts will be determined based upon final plat net area, excluding
public right-of-way and dedicated ponding easements, and at the rates in
effect at the time of final platting.
• All costs for public improvements shall be the sole responsibility of this
development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail with
the Advisory Planning Commission at the September 26, 1984, meeting.

MEMO TO: THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS &
DATE: OCTOBER 12, 1984
SUBJECT: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION
At a special meeting of the Advisory Parks & Recreation
Commission held on Thursday evening, October 11, the Advisory
Commission made an on-site visit and inspection of the proposed
LeMay Lake 1st Addition. The purpose of the meeting was to
determine whether the shore line of LeMay Lake within this
proposed plat is suitable and useable for possible park purposes.
Further, the commission was interested in determining whether a
trailway was feasible extending from the proposed future park
(Donneywood) along the east side of LeMay Lake to this addition.
The commission determined that a trail could be built at sometime
in the future assuming the land acquisition can be accomplished.
There was an extended discussion by the commission relative to
the options of the land dedication vs. a scenic and trail
easement over the LeMay Lake 1st Addition. Also discussed were
the need for a tot lot, active green space for adult useage and
other related topics.
On a motion by Carroll, seconded by Alt, with all members voting
in favor, it was the recommendation of the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission to the City Council to:
1. Accept the cash dedication.
2. Require a tot lot within the development.
3. That a designated area be provided which would be suitable
for adult free play.
4. That a scenic easement 75 feet back from the shoreline
prohibiting the development of boat launches, docks, gazebos or
other constructed amenities be prohibited by the developer.
5. That the City obtain a trail easement within the 75 foot
scenic easement for the construction of a possible future
trailway should the City be able to acquire land parcels to the
east.

SUBJECT TO APPROVAL
MINUTES OF A REGULAR PORTING OF THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
RAGAN, MINNESOTA
DECEMBER 20, 1984
A regular meeting of the Eagan Advisory Planning Commission was held on
Thursday, December 20, 1984 at 7:00 p.m. at the Eagan Municipal Center. Pre-
sent were Members Hall, Wilkins, Taylor, Mulrooney and Krob. Absent were
Members Bohne, McCrea and Wold. Also present were Assistant City Engineer
Hefti, City Planner Runkle, and City Attorney Hauge.
AGENDA
• Mulrooney moved, Krob seconded the motion to approve the Agenda with the
understanding that the application of General Coatings for, revision to a
conditional use permit to allow a new location for an existing pylon sign at
2805 Dodd Road be stricken at the request of the applicant. All members voted
yes.
Wilkins moved, Mulrooney seconded the motion to approve the minutes of
the November 27, 1984 regular meeting. All members voted in favor.
LEMAY LAKE 1ST ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
Chairman Hall convened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. regarding the
• application of Opus Corporation and Healey Ramme Corporation for preliminary
plat approval of Lemay Lake 1st Addition consisting of approximately 17.7
acres and containing 288 dwelling units lying south of Lone Oak Road and west
of I -35E. Dale Runkle reviewed the preliminary report including the updated
report dated November 12, 1984. He indicated that there were four major
reasons why the Council requested the applicants return to the Planning Com-
mission, including the following:
1. The Council requested an overall concept plan to indicate how access
would be provided to the property to the east, including an overall circula-
tion pattern. Three commercial buildings abutting Lone Oak Road and I -35E are
reflected, including two additional office buildings. It was noted that the
zoning does not precisely fit the proposal and therefore the applicants were
required to rezone to conform to the proposed concept.
2. Access to the development was also reviewed indicating the major
access would be from Eagandale Blvd. to the south as proposed. There would be
one minor access with right -in right -out between Eagandale Blvd, and Poplar
Drive which would be moved somewhat easterly from the first proposal.

APC Minutes
December 20, 1984
3. The density of the development indicated that the applicants were
over the allotted square footage but with a change in mix, reducing the number
of two-bedroom units and increasing the number of one -bedroom units, they
could comply with the density restrictions.
4. The City has recently adopted a Shoreland Zoning Ordinance and staff
has met with DNR representatives to review the site plan. There is a question
as to whether the parcel requires compliance with the Shoreland Ordinance and
DNR has indicated it would make recommendations only if it stated that the
development is more dense than DNR would prefer.
Bob Worthington of Opus Corporation and Tom Healey of Healey Ramme were •
present. Mr. Worthington explained the land use plan for the entire parcel,
including the commercial land on the east. He stated that Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company has joined in the plat application, owning the property
on the easterly side and that now a circular traffic pattern is being pro-
posed. A traffic study has been completed and it concluded that each of the
two traffic patterns would be satisfactory. He stated the single major inter-
section at Eagandale Blvd. is the safest and most desirable.
Mr. Worthington also mentioned that an EAW for the Eagandale development
had been prepared and that a letter updating the EAW .had been submitted to the
City. He indicated the study noted no significant change between the former
and the current proposals, including water run-off into Lemay Lake.
Tom Healey described the proposed apartment plan. He stated that emer-
gency vehicle access through the center of the project is being proposed. A
six foot continuous berm along the westerly property line with evergreens on •
the top and drainage provisions will be installed with 8 foot berm on the
northerly end. There are also other internal street configuration changes. A
catch basin with skimmer will be installed permitting greater sedimentation
and providing skimming of oil.
He stated that the developers have met with the neighbors to the west and
also southwest across Lemay Lake. A request was made by the neighbors to
remove the southwesterly 6 units of Building B which the developer prefers to
retain. He further explained that the developers had agreed not to build
additional R-4 units in that particular area. No neighboring property owners
were present.
Member Wilkins had questions about the southeasterly triangle. Mr.
Worthington stated that negotiations had taken place with the City for dedi-
cation of the parcel as park and open space with possible access through the
office project. If six units are removed, then the developer could comply
with density.

APC Minutes
December 20, 1984
Member Mulrooney questioned the gross and net density calculations and
Mr. Runkle indicated that the calculations for net density are determined by
taking out public right-of-way and also the private right-of-way. A range of
212 to 354 units could be allowed, depending on the number of bedrooms per
unit. The planner was asked to submit reports with the range of minimum -
maximum density that would be allowed in the multi -family projects.
It was also noted the original EAW was based upon 200 apartment units and
now 288 are being proposed, that an 80,000 square foot office building was
being proposed and now 200,000 square feet of office building is shown on the
plan. Member Mulrooney also questioned whether the concept plan for the
• parcel to the east is firm and Mr. Worthington stated that the general concept
is accurate and that the developers and owners will submit such confirmation
in writing. Member Krob stated that there is no change in the number of units
per acre. There were questions about circulation and it was noted the pre-
vious plan did not have an internal circulation plan. Chairman Hall recom-
mended reducing the project by 6 units to bring it into compliance.
Wilkins then moved, Krob seconded the motion to recommend approval of the
application for preliminary plat and concept plan for the adjacent land with
282 apartment units, subject to the following:
1. No additional storm water runoff shall be added to the existing 48
inch storm sewer, unless the existing storm sewer is increased in size accord-
ingly.
2. Public improvements shall be petitioned by the developer and ordered
• in by the Council prior to final plat approval.
3. This development shall be responsible for constructing a 5 foot
concrete walk along its Lone Oak Road frontage.
4. A minimum 50 foot half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Lone Oak
Road.
5. If a 60 foot right-of-way for Eagandale Place is dedicated, then a 20
foot utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to public right-of-way as
required by Staff.
6. This development shall be responsible for its trunk storm sewer area
and lateral benefit from trunk water main assessments at the rates in effect
at the time of final platting.
7. Easements for ponding, watermain and sanitary sewer shall be dedi-
cated on the final plat.
8. All costs for public improvements associated with this development
shall be the sole responsibility of this development.

9. The access driveway to the southwesterly 108 unit complex shall be a
minimum of 32 feet in width.
10. A six foot berm with evergreens on the top and 8 foot berm along the
northerly portion shall be installed by the developer.
11. The garage driveway on the westerly building shall be turned to run
northerly rather than directly west.
12. No further residential development shall be developed on the entire
parcel, including the parcel to the east.
13. Evergreen screening shall be installed on the south end of the •
westerly building.
14. Catch basins with skimmers shall be installed as proposed by the
developer and approved by the City.
15. The Planning Commission recommends alternate 2 with a looped public
street.
All members voted in favor except Mulrooney who stated that he was not
satisfied that the density of the units had been properly determined and also
that the environmental issues had not been properly considered, noting that
the EAW has not been adequately undertaken for the current proposal.
The hearing was completed at 8:30 p.m.
KING ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT AND REZONING •
- The hearing regarding the application of Gary King for preliminary plat
approval of King Addition and rezoning from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Residen-
tial Single), consisting of 10 lots on 10 acres of land was convened by the
Chairman. It was noted the application had been submitted to the City in
September of 1984 and the proposal was then continued for additional study. A
revision to the plan has now been made. Mr. Runkle detailed the application
and noted that two feasibility studies had been performed with the previous
proposal. Nine of the lots would access from the extension of Golden Meadow
Road and the existing home would continue to take access from the north on
Hackmore Drive. Approximately 4 lots could be created from Lot 2 with access
to Hackmore Drive at some time in the future. Mr. and Mrs. Gary King were
present as well as several neighbors, including Armand Laurent. Mr. Laurent
had concerns about assessments and stated that there was no benefit to his
property if the utilities would be installed.

APPLICANT: GARY KING
LOCATION: PART OF THE SW'y OF THE NW'y OF SECTION 25
EXISTING ZONING: A — AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DECEMBER 20, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: DECEMBER 12, 1984
REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
• PROPOSAL SUMMARY: Applications have been submitted requesting a Rezoning
from A (Agricultural District) to R-1 (Residential Single Family District)
& a Preliminary Plat for 10 lots on 10 acres of land. The proposal was before
the APC & City Council in September & was continued for more study. The
applicant has revised the plan & is now resubmitting it.
ZONING & LAND -USE: The existing agricultural zoning would allow 2 dwelling
units on the 10 acre parcel. The proposed R-1 zoning would allow density
of up to 3 units per acre. The parcel is bordered by Northview Meadows &
Sunset 4th on the west & north. Agricultural land lies to the east & south.
The property is a steep slope with a mix of oats & grasses. Much of the
land for Block 2 is a low area north of 8chwanz Lake. An existing home would
remain on Lot 2, Block 1.
CODE COMPLIANCE: The proposal meets all the requirements of an R71 District.
• SITE PLANNING: Nine of the lots would have access off of the extension of
Golden Meadow Rd. The existing home would continue to take access from the
north. Lot 2 retains all of the frontage along the north property line.
If Hackmore Dr. is ever extended through this area, approx. 4 lots could be
created from Lot 2. This is a similar situation to the Sunset 4th plat on
the other side of the Hackmore alignment.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS
This updates the previously prepared Engineering Report dated August 22, 1984.
The major revision involved with this proposed development was to eliminate
all lots abutting Hackmore Dr. thereby eliminating the need for the installation
of public improvements within Hackmore Dr. The public improvements within
Golden Meadow Rd. will still be required.
The Engineering Dept. has no additional concerns regarding this proposed develop—
ment that were not discussed in the August 22nd report. The feasibility report
for Project #419, providing for the installation of public improvements to
this development, may be revitalized with a few minor revisions.

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: DECEMBER 28, 1984
RE: ADVISORY PARKS & REC COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION — KING ADDITION
The Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission had previously reviewed the
proposed preliminary plat for the King Addition.
In as much as the southerly most parcel extends into an area planned for
Schwanz Lake Park, the advisory commission is recommending a land dedication.
Since it is likely that the land required to complete the Schwanz Lake Park
parcel will be less than the land dedication requirement, the commission
recommended that the balance of the dedication requirement be fulfilled by a
cash dedication.

KING ADDITION - PRELIMARY PLAT AND REZONING
The hearing regarding the application of Gary King for preliminary plat
approval of King Addition and rezoning from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Residen-
tial Single), consisting of 10 lots on 10 acres of land was convened by the
Chairman. It was noted the application had been submitted to the City in
September of 1984 and the proposal was then continued for additional study. A
revision to the plan has now been made. Mr. Runkle detailed the application
and noted that two feasibility studies had been performed with the previous
proposal. Nine of the lots would access from the extension of Golden Meadow
Road and the existing home would continue to take access from the north on
Hackmore Drive. Approximately 4 lots could be created from Lot 2 with access
to Hackmore Drive at some time in the future. Mr. and Mrs. Gary King were
present as well as several neighbors, including Armand Laurent. Mr. Laurent
had concerns about assessments and stated that there was no benefit to his
property if the utilities would be installed.

1985 RATE STUDY
C. 1985 Sewer and Water Rate Study -- Every year, the consulting
engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates,
prepare a water and sewer rate study based on the most recently
approved budget and estimated volume of water to be processed.
Enclosed on page S is a summary sheet of the rates associated
with water usage. You will note that the rate per 1,000 gallons
is increased $0.102/1,000 gallons. Seven cents of this increase
is to finance the bonds that were sold to construct the Water
Treatment Plant. It should also be noted that the administrative
rate continues to decrease as more accounts are added to the
system without increasing the administrative personnel necessary
to maintain the system. The overall affect for an average residen-
tial usage of 20,000 gallons per quarter will result in a quarterly •
bill of $20.09 for water as compared to $18.10 in 1984.
Enclosed on page -57 is the sewer rate summary sheet which
reflects the costs associated with Metropolitan Waste Water
Control Commission treatment along with the City's cost to maintain
the collection system. As can be seen, there is no rate increase
anticipated for 1985 for the sewer bill. The sewer bill will
remain constant for every quarter based on the water usage recorded
during the winter quarter. Based on the assumed value of 20,000
gallons during the winter quarter, the average residential bill
will be $22.30/quarter for 1985.
Detailed copies of the entire report will be distributed under
separate cover for the Council's review and approval.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the proposed •
1985 rates for sanitary sewer and water usage to become effective
January 1, 1985.

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: DECEMBER 28, 1984
SUBJECT: INFORMATIVE
NORTHWEST ORIENT AIRLINES CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS
City Councilmember Wachter contacted me yesterday and was curious
as to why Northwest Orient Airlines had not released news about
the corporate headquarters being located in our community. Mayor
Blomquist and I were told that news would be made public on
Wednesday and for that reason I was also becoming concerned as to
why there were no press releases. As a part of the 10:00 news I
was relieved when I heard that Northwest was locating their
• headquarters in the City of Eagan. I am sure all of you have
read the news in either the St. Paul or Minneapolis newspapers
today or heard reports on radio.
OTHER CORPORATE EXPANSION
City staff is meeting with representatives of UPS and it is
apparent that they are proposing to locate a 325,000 square foot
facility in the City of Eagan which will also bring approximately
1000 new employees to our community. Along with Northwest
Orient, UPS, land proposals by Trammel Crow and Federal Land
Company alone there is significant corporate and commercial
development proposed in 1985. This is not to mention all the
other development that will more than likely occur as residential
and commercial. The City Administrator plans to assemble a
forecast for 1985 and take a second look at potential manpower
• needs specifically in the Inspection, Engineering and Planning
Departments.
CEDARVALE SHOPPING CENTER/COMMUNITY ROOM
Enclosed is a copy of a letter received from the Commercial
Properties Manager of Cedarvale Shopping Center regarding the
City's use of a 3000 square foot room to be designated as a
community room. The City Administrator is sending a letter to
Mr. Brown thanking him for this space. A copy of this letter is
enclosed on page 62
DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING CENTER
Enclosed on page _i�_ is a copy of a letter from the
Developmental Learning Center thanking the City Council for

WEST PUBLISHING COMPANY
A letter was received from John Nasseff regarding a suggestion
that Wescott Road be brought up to improved standards west of
Elrene Road. The City Administrator has explained to Mr. Nasseff
that there are a number of streets, thorough fares and collectors
that need to be improved that have greater traffic trip numbers.
This segment of Wescott Road is being considered at some time in
the future for improvement. —
COMPLETION OF I-494 AND I -35E
The City Administrator received a letter from Commissioner
Richard Braun regarding the City Council's recent resolution
asking for the expeditious completion of I-494 and I -35E.
Enclosed is a copy of that letter found on page 6--; .

Leisure Services for ARC commending the City on the recent
compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. A

ACTION CONFERENCE
The City Administrator and more than likely Mayor Blomquist will
be attending the LMC/AMM Legislative Action Conference on
Tuesday, January 29. It would be helpful for the City
Administrator to know if any other members of the City Council
will be attending so that all registrations can be made by the
deadline of January 14. Please review the attached information
on pages (,i through '7() and if you are planning to attend
so indicate on Wednesday evening.
PAGAN PARKING BAN
Enclosed on page -71 is a copy of a letter from Timothy T.
Weidenhaft regarding the Eagan Parking Ban. Also enclosed
without page number is a letter that was received from Allison
Pope who resides in Minneapolis regarding the Parking Ban.
Copies of these letters have been sent to Police Chief Berthe and
Public Works Director Colbert. The City Administrator will
provide a response to both letters after review by the City
Council.

The City Council meeting for January 2 is shaping up as a short
agenda. Because of the New Year holdays there may be some
additional items that come forth on Monday and Wednesday and
Mayor Blomquist has indicated that if those items are brief and
do not require a great deal of background information it is

minutes after the meeting to discuss a time schedule for further

prepared by Author Young which will more than likely require a
special Council meeting.

Dear Mayor Bloomquist
DEC: i i IJV
I am writing to inform you and the City that Cedarvale Shopping Center
has recently remodeled a 3,000 square foot room to be designated as a
community room. We want the City and other community and civic groups
to feel free to use it and the other facilities at Cedarvale.
The room is fully carpeted, well lighted and would provide an excellent
atmosphere for any Eagan group. It can 'accommodate a group of 5 up

We will give this room free of charge with only a small refundable
deposit required if terms of the use are fulfilled.
Persons or groups who are interested may contact me or Michelle

Thank you.

Eagan, MN 55121
Dear Tom:
Improvements made to Wescott Road in 1977 allowed West Publishing Company
to proceed with plans to construct a 350,000 square foot facility to serve
its shipping and warehouse operations. Completion of the facility in 1978
was the first step in a plan to relocate all shipping, warehouse and production
operations to one modern facility. Initially, 120 full time employees were
assigned to this facility. Average truck traffic at that time was 20 trucks
per day.
Major expansion in 1982 and 1984 have increased the size of the building
to almost 1,000,000 sq. feet. All shipping, warehouse and production operations
are now located at this facility. Presently, almost 700 full time employees
working three shifts per day are assigned to this facility. A railroad
spur was installed in 1982 and truck traffic has increased to 55 trucks
per day.
The hundreds of vehicles that cross #149 are a growing danger. Impediment •
of ingress and egress to this facility is a growing concern to West Publishing
Company. We therefore request that the city of Eagan expedite the surfacing
of Wescott Road to conform to the specifications of a minor arterial street.
We also request that Wescott Road be given top priority relative to snowplowing
and sanding requirements.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Hedges:
Minnesota Department of Transportation
Transportation Building, St. Paul, MN 55155
612-296-3000
Governor Perpich has asked me to respond to your letter regarding your
concern for the completion of I494 and I35E.
There is no truth to the rumor that interstate completion funds will
be shifted from Dakota County to I-394. His commitments to the citizens
of Dakota County are too strong. The latest federal funding made
available is $6.7 million for paving and fencing I35E between TH 77
(Cedar Avenue) and CSAH 26 (Lone Oak Road). This funding was released
October 29, 1984 from limited discretionary funding available to the
Federal Highway Administration. I am sure the Department of
Transportation will find some way to complete the remaining projects
so that completion of I494 and I35E in Dakota County is not delayed.
You may be aware of the more significant problem as Congress cannot
agree and approve the Interstate Cost Estimates (ICE) so that, the Federal
Highway Administration may release interstate funding. This debate
has been prolonged for over a year now. Congress probably will not
be organized to deal with this issue until early next spring. Minnesota
has 18 months of interstate funding curtailed which is about $110 million.
Projects on I394 in Minneapolis, I35 in Duluth, and I35E in St. Paul
are being held up pending congressional action.
I hope you will continue your active support until all segments of the
interstate system in our state are complete.

I am writing in order to voice my dissatisfaction with
.' the new "Eagan Parking Ban". I would like to state that I
feel this ban is excessive in that it is enforced from Nov-
ember through April, rather than during periods of snowfall.
Additionally, I feel the penalties are exorbitant when com-
pared to the seriousness of the offense, during periods when
snow is not present.
In closing, I would like to emphasize my dissatisfaction
with the new ordinance and our city officials who implemented
an ordinance_.which is not favored by the people. Repeal the
Eagan Parking Ban!

• the draft architectural program and the evening workshop session. The
Commission split into two groups to consider the building objectives, purpose
and activities for a structure at Schwanz Lake. After a 45 minute
brainstorming session, all of the generated ideas were placed on the bulletin
board for further review by the Commission as a whole.
The consensus of the Commission was to have the building blend in with the
surroundings, but with solar orientation and in a central location. The
building should be distinctively and imaginatively designed, yet warm and
comfortable. It should also communicate the park's function. Expansion
possibilities should be considered in the design.
The building should have bathrooms, possibly a deck, have a food preparation
area, space for up to 200 people and a fireplace(s). It should be a multi—
season building, perhaps partially enclosed, to serve the summer beach crowd
.and winter enthusiasts. It could have seating both inside and out.
• The buildingshould be close to a parking lot and be handicapped accessible.
The access points and circulation should be related to the activities area.
An information sign with activities posted should be in a visible location.
The building could possibly house a concession stand, provide for storage and
have a walkout basement.
Staff added a few of their thoughts, noting that the building should be
constructed of earthy materials, be easy to maintain and be energy efficient.
The building should be constructed so it could be divided in two and adaptable
to handling more than one event at a time. The building should complement
structures in other Eagan parks. It should have a telephone and PA system.
The Commission remained in two groups and analyzed two different building uses
— Group I had a warming house and Group II had restrooms.
WARMING HOUSE
The following activities were judged to be ones a warming house should
accomodate — skating, skiing, sledding/tubing and indoor lessons for various
recreational programs. The winter design could accomodate up to 100 people.
The interior of the building would be of wood to give a rustic "chalet"
atmosphere. The windows would be solar oriented, be operable and there would
be at least one which would provide a view of the skaters. The structure
might accomodate and be available for overnights. A display board and built—
in screen could be available as teaching aides.
There would be heat and electricity, potable and hot water and inside° access
to restrooms and the fireplace. The warming house could be on the lower level
to provide a walk—out for users. There would be removable rubber matting for
the floor and movable bench seating. There could be a concession area housing
vending machines.
RESTROOMS
Group members detailed intrusion for restrooms indicating size, material,
and relationship. These items were recorded and included in the architectural
program worksheet.
ADJOURNMENT
Parks & Recreation Director, Vraa, said the evening's effort would be as a
draft for further refinement. Slide picture of other building slides and
possibly a field trip to park structures in other communities will be made.
The meeting adjourned at 9:15 P.M..

and discussed with the Council the installation of right-of-way fencing and
surfacing from Cedar Avenue interchange to Lone Oak Road. He noted that the

will not approve the request for relocation of the fence line to the top of
the noise berm to provide the green space to be maintained by the Lakewood •
Homes Development (Hillandale Addition No. 2) due to the fact that the State

CEDAR GROVE 3rd, 4th & 5th ADDITIONS - PROJECT #413
STREET CONSTRUCTION
Mayor Bea Blomquist convened the public hearing regarding Project #413
consisting of street reconstruction proposed for Cedar Grove 3rd, 4th and 5th
Additions. City Administrator Tom Hedges introduced the topic and Public
Works Director Tom Colbert reviewed the preliminary report in detail. Mr.
Hedges explained the reasons for the public hearing, including the hearing
held on December 4, 1984, regarding Cedar Grove 3rd and 5th Additions with no
action being taken that evening. Mayor Blomquist indicated that Cedar Grove
5th Addition will be heard first, and the 3rd and 4th Additions will be then •
reviewed and discussed later in the hearing.
Henry Peterson, a property owner in the Cedar Grove 5th Addition had a
question about the Agenda. Councilman Smith indicated that a letter, which he
understood had been written by Mr. Peterson, stating Mr. Smith favored the
project was not accurate and that Councilman Smith had stated emphatically
that he had not made up his mind prior to the hearing as to whether the
improvements should be installed or not. Questions were asked from a number
of affected property owners and a hand count, directed by the Mayor, indicated
two owners in favor and the vast majority were opposed, who were present at
the hearing. Councilman Egan moved to close the hearing and to deny the
project based upon the large opposition to the project, and Wachter seconded
the motion. Councilman Wachter recommended a written referendum to get an
accurate indication of whether the affected owners favored or opposed the
project. Councilman Egan noted that the costs will increase but the people
seem to be willing to assume the risks, so it's therefore a matter of timing
as to when the improvements will take place. All members voted yes. •
The Mayor at 7:25 p.m, convened the hearing concerning Cedar Grove 3rd
and 4th Additions and Mr. Colbert then explained the project with a slide
demonstration, in some detail. He also discussed the service road along
Nicols Road. He noted that the estimated costs are $2,100.00 per lot in the
4th Addition, if the 3rd, 4th and 5th Additions streets were all recon-
structed. Without the 5th Addition, the estimated cost is about $2,000.00 per
lot in the 3rd and 4th Additions.
A large number of resident property owners were present with questions
and one was concerned about the accuracy of the estimates. There were also
concerns about the assessment methods from certain owners present. A question
arose whether, if a parcel on the Nicols Service Road is assessed in this
project, whether it would be assessed at the time of upgrading of Nicols Road.
It was noted that the policy of the Council at the present time is that
property owners on a service road would only be assessed for one improvement.
Some persons spoke in favor and others spoke against the project. With a hand
count of all persons present, 18 were in favor and 25 were opposed with 1 no
opinion. There are 362 lots in the two subdivisions.

Council Minutes

large majority opposing the project. Cedar Grove 4th Addition indicated 16 in
favor and 14 opposed with 191 total lots, and 171 total lots in Cedar Grove
3rd Addition.
Smith then moved, Thomas seconded the motion to close the hearing
regarding Cedar Grove 3rd Addition and to deny the implementation of the
project. All members voted affirmatively. Councilman Wachter suggested a
referendum in Cedar Grove 4th Addition because of a lack of definite
consensus. Mayor Blomquist recommended continuing the hearing until a January
meeting in 1985 and solicit written responses. There were concerns about
• whether written responses would offer adequate information to homeowners
unless they had a chance to be present at a formal hearing. At 9:00 p.m.
Thomas moved, Egan seconded the motion to continue the hearing for the Cedar
Grove 4th Addition only, until the January 15, 1985 regular meeting at 7:00
p.m. at the City Municipal Center. All members voted yes except Wachter who
voted no. The City Administrator was requested to require as much media
coverage as possible and suggested another letter of explanation be sent to
the propertyowners.

• Hilla Construction Co, was present as were other neighboring owners. There
were no objections from neighboring owners but questions about the assessment
spread with a recommendation that the spread be 15 years rather than 10 years.

LEMIAY LAM 1ST ADDITION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
Chairman Hall convened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. regarding the
. application of Opus Corporation and Healey Ramme Corporation for preliminary
plat approval of Lemay Lake 1st Addition consisting of approximately 17.7
acres and containing 288 dwelling units lying south of Lone Oak Road and west
of I -35E. Dale Runkle reviewed the preliminary report including the updated
report dated November 12, 1984. He indicated that there were four major
reasons why the Council requested the applicants return to the Planning Com-
mission, including the following:
1. The Council requested an overall concept plan to indicate how access
would be provided to the property to the east, including an overall circula-
tion pattern. Three commercial buildings abutting Lone Oak Road and I-35E.are
reflected, including two additional office buildings. It was noted that the
zoning does not precisely fit the proposal and therefore the applicants were
required to rezone to conform to the proposed concept.
2. Access to the development was also reviewed indicating the major
access would be from Eagandale Blvd. to the south as proposed. There would be
one minor access with right -in right -out between Eagandale Blvd, and Poplar
Drive which would be moved somewhat easterly from the first proposal.

December 20, 1984
3. The density of the development indicated that the applicants were
over the allotted square footage but with a change in mix, reducing the number
of two-bedroom units and increasing the number of one -bedroom units, they
could comply with the density restrictions.
4. The City has recently adopted a Shoreland Zoning Ordinance and staff
has met with DNR representatives to review the site plan. There is a question
as to whether the parcel requires compliance with the Shoreland Ordinance and
DNR has indicated it would make recommendations only if it stated that the
development is more dense than DNR would prefer.
Bob Worthington of Opus Corporation and Tom Healey of Healey Ramme were •
present. Mr. Worthington explained the land use plan for the entire parcel,
including the commercial land on the east. He stated that Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company has joined in the plat application, owning the property
on the easterly side and that now a circular traffic pattern is being pro-
posed. A .traffic study has been completed and it concluded that each of the
two traffic patterns would be satisfactory. He stated the single major inter-
section at Eagandale Blvd. is the safest and most desirable.
Mr. Worthington also mentioned that an EAW for the Eagandale development
had been prepared and that a letter updating the EAW had been submitted to the
City. He indicated the study noted no significant change between the former
and the current proposals, including water run-off into Lemay Lake.
Tom Healey described the proposed apartment plan. He stated that emer-
gency vehicle access through the center of the project is being proposed. A
six foot continuous berm along the westerly property line with evergreens on
the top and drainage provisions will be installed with 8 foot berm on the
northerly end. There are also other internal street configuration changes. A
catch basin with skimmer will be installed permitting greater sedimentation
and providing skimming of oil.
He stated that the developers have met with the neighbors to the west and
also southwest across Lemay Lake. A request was made by the neighbors to
remove the southwesterly 6 units of Building B which the. developer prefers to
retain. He further explained that the developers had agreed not to build
additional R-4 units in that particular area. No neighboring property owners
were present.
Member Wilkins had questions about the southeasterly triangle. Mr.
Worthington stated that negotiations had taken place with the City for dedi-
cation of -the parcel as park and open space with possible access through the
office project. If six units are removed, then the developer could comply
with density.

APC Minutes
December 20, 1984
Member Mulrooney questioned the gross and net density calculations and
Mr. Runkle indicated that the calculations for net density are determined by
taking out public right-of-way and also the private right-of-way. A range of
212 to 354 units could be allowed, depending on the number of bedrooms per
unit. The planner was asked to submit reports with the range of minimum -
maximum density that would be allowed in the multi -family projects.
It was also noted the original EAW was based upon 200 apartment units and
now 288 are being proposed, that an 80,000 square foot office building was
being proposed and now 200,000 square feet of office building is shown on the
• plan. Member Mulrooney also questioned whether the concept plan for the
parcel to the east is firm and Mr. Worthington stated that the general concept
is accurate and that the developers and owners will submit such confirmation
in writing. Member Krob stated that there is no change in the number of units
per acre. There were questions about circulation and it was noted the pre-
vious plan did not have an internal circulation plan. Chairman Hall recom-
mended reducing the project by 6 units to bring it into compliance.
Wilkins then moved, Krob seconded the motion to recommend approval of the
application for preliminary plat and concept plan for the adjacent land with
282 apartment units, subject to the following:
1. No additional storm water runoff shall be added to the existing 48
inch storm sewer, unless the existing storm sewer is increased in size accord-
ingly.
2. Public improvements shall be petitioned by the developer and ordered
• in by the Council prior to final plat approval.
3. This development shall be responsible for constructing a 5 foot
concrete walk along its Lone Oak Road frontage.
4. A minimum 50 foot half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Lone Oak
Road.

foot utility easement shall be dedicated adjacent to public right-of-way as
required by Staff.
6. This development shall be responsible for its trunk storm sewer area
and lateral benefit from trunk water main assessments at the rates in effect
at the time of final platting.
7. Easements for ponding, watermain and sanitary sewer shall be dedi-
cated on the final plat.
8. All costs for public improvements associated with this development
shall be the sole responsibility of this development.

ANG ADDITION - PRELIMIN ANY PLAT AND REZONING
The hearing regarding the application of Gary King for preliminary plat
approval of King Addition and rezoning from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Residen-
tial Single), consisting of 10 lots on 10 acres of land was convened by the
Chairman. It was noted the application had been submitted to the City in
September of 1984 and the proposal was then continued for additional study. A
revision to the plan has now been made. Mr. Runkle detailed the application
and noted that two feasibility studies had been performed with the previous
proposal. Nine of the lots would access from the extension of Golden Meadow
Road and the existing home would continue to take access from the north on
Hackmore Drive. Approximately 4 lots could be created from Lot 2 with access
to Hackmore Drive at some time in the future. Mr. and Mrs. Gary King were
present as well as several neighbors, including Armand Laurent. Mr. Laurent
had concerns about assessments and stated that there was no benefit to his
property if the utilities would be installed.

PAGAN WOODS OFFICE PARR - PRELIMINARY PLAT
The next hearing that came before the Planning Commission concerned the
application of Trammell Crow Company for preliminary plat approval of Eagan
Woods Office Park consisting of 6.60 acres and proposed to contain a 4 story
office building with 72,000 square feet. The second portion of the applica-
tion is concept approval for the total 18.8 acres to constitute the land use
plan for the Eagan Woods Planned Development. The total plan would consist of
either office or hotel which would contain approximately 160 rooms or 55,000
square feet. Dale Runkle reviewed the application in detail with the Planning
Commission and it was noted that the property is now zoned Planned Development
with underlying Roadside Business zoning. He also stated that the history •
includes a review of the airport safety zone ordinance and the new property
owners have purchased the site proposing nearly the same uses that were
originally allowed under the Planned Development.
Tree surveys have been made and it was noted that due to the very rough
site, the developer will provide retaining walls. Mr. Runkle stated the site
characteristics are important and the developer is studying the site in detail
to retain natural amenities. He further noted that a conditional use permit
had been required for a four-story building and suggested review of the appli-
cation with the understanding that a future hearing on the conditional use
will be required.
Robert Hoffman, attorney, and representatives of the applicant were
present. Mr. Hoffman explained the background of Trammell Crow Corporation
noting that it develops properties throughout the United States, including
various types of development and normally retains ownership of its develop- •
ments.
Mr. Hoffman made the following comments:
1. There is adequate space for additional parking, if needed in the
future.
2. He requested that the employee parking spaces be smaller than the
city requirements.

and stated that natural amenities and contours will be maintained to as great
an extent as possible.
Gary O'Brien of Trammell Crow was present and there were no objections to
the application. Rich Hefti stated that easements will be needed including
• area for adequate snow storage adjacent to the internal public street, and
therefore recommended a 60 foot right-of-way. Gary O'Brien indicated that a
20 foot setback variance would not be necessary until construction of the
proposed motel on Outlot A. It was understood that the 20 foot green strip
would be required in the future.

plat approval of Rahneliff 2nd Addition consisting of one 5.7 acre lot to
include a 65,000 square foot three-story office building, came before the
Planning Commission. Dale Runkle explained the project and noted the site
plan provides for 305 surface parking spaces and 70 underground parking
stalls, which exceeds the 347 parking spaces required by City Code. Extensive
noise control methods should be utilized, including berming, landscaping and
architectural design which could lessen the noise impact. Charles Novak,
architect, and Jim Hill, Planner, were present. Mr. Novak stated that a
window glazing system with glass set in rubber gaskets, and the thickness of
the walls will tend to out down the noise impact on the building. A row of
trees will be constructed along the freeway side and the Planning Commission
