ADJOURNMENT 0 ,'s MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: FEBRUARY 13, 1986 SUBJECT: AGENDA INFORMATION ADOPT AGENDA/APPROVE-MINUTES After approval is given to the February 18, 1986, agenda and regular City Council meeting minutes for the February 4 and special minutes for the January 14; January 23, and February 13 meetings, the fol- lowing items are in order for consideration: A. FIRE DEPARTMENT 1. Fire Chief Childers is requesting special consideration to refurbish the 1971 C-900 Ford pumper truck. This item was discussed during the development of the 1986 budget and as a result of City Council deliberations, was partially funded. The number of items listed by Custom Fire Apparatus in their proposal was quite lengthy and it was decided during budget preparation that additional infor- mation and clarification was needed if all the improvements to the pumper truck were to be further considered. The City Administrator and Fire Chief Childers have met and discussed, in detail, the proposal. A copy of a memorandum describing the equipment repairs and the original proposal from Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. are enclosed on pages_ through - for review. Fire Chief Childers will be present to answer qu s� tions and further discuss this item at the meeting on Tuesday. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS approval or modification fo the of the 1971 C-900 Ford pumper truck. ITEM: To approve or deny the proposal for the refurbishing MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILI-1EMBP:RS FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 1986 SUBJECT: REFURBISH 1971 C-900 FORD FIRE PUMPER A budget request was submitted by the Fire Department last fall in the amount of $39,000 to refurbish the 1971 C-900 Ford pumper. The original request included $25,500 for the pumper, $4,500 for the aerial and approximately $4,000 for grass rig #7. The remaining amount was budgeted for unscheduled repair. The Fire Department was able to complete the refurbishing of the aerial trunk during 1985 and is willing to reschedule to a later date the refurbishing of grass rig #7. Since the City Council budgeted $12,000 for the refurbishing of equipment, an additional $14,550 would be needed if this pumper truck is to be completely refurbished in 1986. The City Administrator has met with Fire Chief Childers and reviewed in detail the modifications and refurbishing for this piece of equipment. As you recall, Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc., has provided a specific description of modifications that would occur to the pumper truck. Attached is a copy of the description that was distributed as a part of the draft budget late last sum.-ner/early fall. Direction was given by the City Council to review in greater detail the general description and further determine whether all of the modifications as suggested by Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc., need to occur at this time. Iwill attempt to provide some additional information using the sub -categories outlined in the description by Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. CHASSIS CAB ® The description that was offered for the chassis cab is self-explanatory and there is no additional description offered by the Fire Chief and City Administrator. FIRE PUMP COMPARTMENT Apparently there is considerable rust building up' on the compartment and once the compartment is cleaned it will be easier to use and maintain. The Fire Department is experi- encing problems with gauges freezing which could be critical at a fire. The Department is ,attempting to make the pumper more compatible with large diameter hose and relay operations since the tanker truck is no longer used for fire suppression. CREW COMPARTMENT Again, rehabilitation is desired for the purpose of reducing future maintenance. Some rust is occurring and by cleaning 7— MEMO: MAYOR & COUNCIL FEBRUARY 14, 1986 PAGE TWO up this area of the equipment, rust will be prevented in the future, expanding the longevity of the equipment. Apparently, the crew cab is in direct violation of OSHA standards and by making the various modifications suggested in the letter of description, noise will be reduced and meet the OSHA standards. APPARATUS BODY MODIFICATIONS/REFINISHING The doors are starting to sag and the refinishing will reduce maintenance and allow the doors to work properly. According to Fire Chief Childers, there is a safety factor involved with this item. Apparently the present tank has been repaired numerous times and is still leaking water. By replacing the 500 gallon capacity water tank and adding a new 750 booster tank, the Fire Department will increase their storage capacity and be assured of storage once the pumper is called out to a fire. On page 4, the relocation of the galvanized pipe is designed to prevent freezing. Apparently, the Fire Department has had problems with this equipment freezing; again, a critical problem at the time of fire suppression needs. Another modification on page 4 relates to changes necessary to accom- modate the larger diameter hose. There are electrical prob- lems that have been experienced with this pumper truck; therefore, changes are desired as a part of the refurbishing. The Department is concerned that this truck may not meet ISO standards and, therefore, many of the modifications are needed for satisfaction of that requirement. In recent years, the Fire Department has spent approximately $5,000 for pump re- pairs and feel the pump should be in good shape after the few repairs that are identified on page 5 are completed. The 1971 C-900 Ford pumper is currently located at Station $3. The proposed refurbishing cost, assuming all the repairs are made, would amount to approximately $26,000-$26,500. The City has budgeted $12,000 in 1986 for these repairs. Fire Chief Childers has stated that if the repairs are made, the equipment should last the City approximately another ten (10) years. A new pumper truck designed to meet these specifications would cost the City approxi- mately $150,000 with delivery in excess of 12 months. At the time the budget was considered and adopted, the City Admin- istrator was directed to contact Fire Chief Childers for additional 3 MEMO: MAYOR & COUNCIL FEBRUARY 14, 1985 PAGE THREE a - information and explanation regarding the request to refurbish this piece of equipment. Due to Fire Chief• Childers' 10 -week training in Seattle, Washington, this matter was deferred for consideration until January. Fire Chief Childers is expected to be at the meeting on Tuesday to answer any questions and will be asking for consideration by the Council to amend the budget and allow the modifications and refurbishing to occur for the 1971 pumper truck. ® City Administratoll CC.

Fire Chief Childers is suggesting that .the City request an ISO inspection for purposes of lowering the insurance rating that is currently at 6.. The City has not received an ISO inspection for several years and it is the feeling of both the Fire Chief and City Administrator that due to excessive water main installa- tion, hydrants and storage capacity during the past several years, the addition of Fire Station #3 and additional fire suppression equipment that Eagan could, more then likely, qualify for a lower rating. The city of Bloomington has recently concluded an ISO inspection and their rating is now a 3. A change in the fire rating would have a favorable- impact on the insurance rates for commercial and industrial property located throughout the City. • ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To direct the City Administrator to seek an ISO inspection for the purpose of lowering commercial/industrial insurance rates throughout the community. B. POLICE DEPARTMENT There are no items to be discussed under Police Department at this time. C. PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT 1. Attached on pages through _/-- for your review and direction to the Parks and Recreation Commission is a memo outlining concerns related to the continued use of snowmobiles in the City of Eagan. Concerns raised by the Commission pertain directly to the snowmobiles in City parks. There is no official action required on this item, however, any direction to the Parks and Recreation Commission would be helpful. /D MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY FROM: KEN VRAA,.DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION DATE: JANUARY 24, 1986 RE: ADVISORY PAM & RECREATION COMMISSION SNOWMOBILE USE CONCERNS ISSUE The Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission is seeking direction from the City Council concerning continued use of snowmobiles within the City. BACKGROUND At the January meeting of the Advisory Commission, the Commission discussed problems that were being encountered with the use of snowmobiles in the City, and particularly, in City parks. In the course of discussion of the issue, the Commission identified several subfactors influencing their thinking regarding snowmobiling. 1) An apparent increase in the number of complaints and observable problems from previous years and an increasing number of conflicts in use between snowmobilers and vehicles - snowmobilers and pedestrians. I 2) The Eagan Snowmobile Club's declining interest in the continuation of the Highline Trail and Johnny Cake IRidge trails apparently because of increasing traffic on residential and collector streets, as well as the completion of I -35E. (Maynard Ohm has so indicated this.) 3) Lack of volunteer enforcement of the Eagan ordinance from the snowmobile • club and the inability of the police to patrol all areas. 4) Early snowfalls provided ideal snowmobiling conditions, thus increasing the amount of snowmobile traffic. 5) Increasing vehicle traffic on City streets causes additional conflict and liability. After reviewing the information available, the Commission determined that before it makes recommendations or takes any action concerning the use of snowmobiles within the City, and in particular City parks, they wish direction from the City Council and if members of the Council had received complaints or observed the same problems. It is suggested that if continuation of snowmobiles along the Highline and Johnny Cake Ridge Road, as well as residential streets, is of greater detriment than value, perhapa then snowmobiles should be discontinued. It was also suggested that the Commission hold an informational meeting to determine interest in continuation of snowmobiles in the City or if there is adverse reaction by the public to their continued use. The informational meeting/public hearing would then be able to help shape public policy regarding the continued use/disuse in the City if the Council felt such a need existed. FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION Provide the A.P.R.C. with direction regarding the issue of snowmobiles within the City. Respectfully Submitted On Behalf Of The Advisory Parks & Recreation Comm on, VIII � Recreation KV/js v Agenda Information Memo February 18, 1986, City Council Meeting Page Three 2. The Parks and Recreation Commission had planned to review the Parks Dedication Ordinance at their last regular meeting. Due to the number of agenda items and length of the meeting it was not possible to review the Parks D=_dication ordinance however, it is on their agenda for the March 6, 1986 meeting. The Director of Parks and Recreation would like any thoughts or direction the City Council might have regarding various suggestions that are discussed in the attached memorandum found on pages I5 through Ken has raised several issues in his report to the PAS and Recreation Commission and is suggesting that consideration be given to a change in the—current policy and. further that the City Code's chapter on subdivisions -be-,amended to adopt the park systems plan by reference. The park systems plan would include park land dedication requirements. There is no official action required on this item, however,direction to the Parks and Recreation Director and Commission is being requested. /3 ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 1986 BE: PARKS DEDICATION ORDINANCE REVIEW At the time of the annual review of the parks dedication requirements, the Advisory Commission requested staff to .prepare a report which would address several areas of concern expressed by the Commission. Subsequently, a memorandum was addressed to the Commission indicating that other communities were also reviewing their parks dedication ordinance for possible revision; that the directors from these communities were to meet, • discuss, and perhaps work together in a review process. The Directors of Parks & Recreation from the communities of Maple Grove, Plymouth, Eden Prairie, Lakeville and Eagan, as well the Economics Director from the City of Blaine, met for nearly a full day to critically evaluate each ordinance and the relationship it has with existing state law and judicial findings. It is not the intent of this memorandum to review all that was discussed at this meeting. It is important to note that from this observer's standpoint there can be no single ordinance which could be easily adopted by each community. Significant differences in each community, philosophical and the current status of their respective park systems, make such a document improbable to develop. However, this meeting did produce some significant discussion which should help this community to improve its parks dedication ordinance. MEETING OBSERVATIONS • It is this writer's opinion that Eagan's parks dedication ordinance, at least philosophically, is one of the strongest and fairest to developers. In comparison, it was noted that 1) Eagan is the only community that provides for partial parkland dedication credit for areas which are below the 100 year flood mark, 2) provides park dedication credit for areas which are part of utility easements. 3) The City's commercial/industrial park dedication requirement provides for credit where there are significant on-site provisions for parks and open space. It still appears that Eagan's parks dedication ordinance could, and indeed should be strengthened to better comply with State statutes. For example, the Eagan dedication ordinance should ,1) strengthen the relationship between the amount of dedication (land or cash) and the impact of the subdivision's platting and its relationship to parkland needs. 2) The existing land dedication provides for a constant percentage - 10% - regardless of density. This can be construed as "inequitable" and therefore, should be reviewed for modifications. It must be recognized that it is not the intent of the strengthening of this i ordinance to mean to increase parks dedication. Rather, strengthen means to better show the relationship between the platting review, the need for parks, its reasonableness in order to comply with the State statutes and thus, make it less susceptible to court challenge. STATE STATUTE Attached is the State statute which initially allowed for cities to develop and implement parks dedication ordinances. In providing for these regulations, it should be noted that there are several key words and phrases which are significantly important. The first of these is that "a reasonable portion of any proposed subdivision be dedicated." The second is that dedication, at least for cash, should be "based on the fair market value of the land no later than at the time of the final approval." Third, "a municipality reasonably determines that it will need to acquire that portion of land for the purposes stated." 1 In essence, these are the three—critical issues that a parks dedication ordinance should address. -- Perhaps one of the most significant court cases relating to parks dedication is Koolis vs. the City of Bloomington in which the State Supreme Court upheld Bloomington and that its 10% land dedication was a reasonable portion. Consequently, many communities have adopted the 10% standard. A word of caution in adopting this 10% standard. Municipalities still must be able to demonstrate that this is reasonable and that it will need to acquire this percentage and a particular parcel for parks purposes to satisfy the residents needs. Because of Eagan's Park Systems Plan which contains a significant amount of information regarding the demographics of the community (as well as projected future growth and development), individual park standards, ratios of facilities, a neighborhood park standard, the type/quality of property the City seeks to acquire for parks purposes and has defined parks service areas, as well as pencil locations for parks, the City is in an excellent position to support its case for parks dedication as reasonable. It would seem prudent, however to incorporate and/or at least identify the Park Systems Plan and its continuing updating as the basis for the City of Eagan's parks dedication ordinance. Further, because the City has established its standards for parks based on population, it would then seem appropriate to establish its land dedication (and cash) based on population - i.e. density of a development. A constant land dedication of 10% for single family as well as for multiple family development of high living unit density per acre is, in fact, inequitable and may be a case for unreasonableness. It would be prudent for the City to have a land dedication requirement that is based on a sliding scale which increases with unit density and has a basis, in fact, for providing parks in relationship to demand/impact. BASED UPON FAIR MARKET VALUE State statutes indicate that the municipality must base its dedication on "fair market value." A review of other cases indicates that it appears acceptable and reasonable for a municipality to establish market value collectively, rather than for a single parcel being considered for subdivision. It also appears acceptable to set the value at the time of the final subdivision plat rather than raw land value. In summation, it appears 215 • • that the City of Eagan's history of setting values for parks cash dedication that is based on recent land sales is an appropriate methodology. Therefore, staff would recommend that this procedure continue, but that the ordinance indicate the methodology used. DETERMINATION OF LAND TO Bi•DEDICATED OR FEES TO BE PAID Through the City's Comprehensive Park Systems Plan and its analysis of facility needs for residents, the City has generally determined that a standard of 15 acres of neighborhood and community parks and open space per population of 1,000 persons is an applicable and valid standard. Approximately twelve acres of this 15 acre amount shall constitute neighborhood parks and shall be the minimum standard established by the City. Therefore, the City shall require dedication, either land or cash, of sufficient amount which shall meet the standard for neighborhood parks. Dedication shall be based on density "of residents in the following residential unit types (1985 census date): 1 • Single family - 3.5 Duplex - 2.8 Townhouse & Quads - 2.1 Multiple - - 1.9 LAND DEDICATION In brief, the City should relate the parks dedication on a more equitable basis based on number of residents per type of unit, utilizing the City's standard for park acreage. Based on the number of persons per residential unit as previously described, land dedication shall be as follows: Alternate I 0-1.9 units per acre - 8% ® 2-3.5 units''p'er acre - 10% 3.6-6 units per acre - 12% 6-10 units per acre - 14% 10 + units per acre - Add .5% (Alternate II) This alternative would be a calculated dedication utilizing the type of unit times the number of residents for that unit. This would equal "demand for parks." This to be multipled by the parkland equivalent per individual .012 to determine the exact amount of land dedication. EXAMPLE: Developer X intends to develop 40 acres - twenty acres for single family and 20 acres for apartment. The single family development will have 3.5 units per acre and the apartment has 11 units an acre or 70 single family homes and 220 apartments. 70 units X 3.5 people = 245 people x .012 (standard area per person) = 2.94 acres ., I , . 220 units x 1.9 people = 418 people x .012 (standard area pi person) = 5.01 acres TOTAL: 7.95 ACRES Therefore, the dedication is .012 acre per person. CASH DEDICATION It shall be the City's intent to provide for, where land is not a requirement, a cash dedication fee. This cash dedication shall be based on composite value of properties within each of the zoning classifications. This value shall be determined annually by the City upon recommendation of the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission. The land value is to be divided by the number of units per acre to determine the cash fee which shall equal an equivalency of 12 acres per thousand population times the composite fee of properties of similar zoning values. This formula shall be as follows: RESIDENTS) UNITS PER HOUSING TYPE PER UNIT LAND VALUE 100 POPULATION Single family 3.5 $11,000 = 28 = Duplex 2.8 13,000 = 35 = Townhouse/Quads 2.1 15,000 = 47 = Multiple/Apts 1.9 17,000 = 52 = REQUIRED CASH EQ. (ACREAGE X LAND VALUE) $13,200 $15,600 $18,000 $20,400 ALTERNATE II: CASH (CASH EQ. UNITS) $1 = $471.00 single family 28 $15,600 = $445.00 duplex 35 $18,000 = $382.00 townhouse/quad. 47 $207400 = $392.00 apts. 52 Similar to the alternate being provided in the land dedication, this would be a cash equivalent per person. EXAMPLE: 20 single family homes x 3.5 people x .012 acres x $11,000 (values of property per acre) = .84 x $11,000 = $924.00 DISCUSSION Alternate II in the proposed land dedication holds constant the value of property to be dedicated with each plat. Based on 12 acres per thousand residents, this is the equivalent of .012 acres per person. Upholding this value constant for each individual, it is quite easy to calculate land dedication. One will only need to take the type of living unit being proposed times residents per unit times the .012 factor to determine the acreage to be dedicated. On the surface, this constant value of land per person seems most equitable. The fallacy with this formula, however is that it does not take into recognition that single family dwellings are likely to have more children �7 4 E Ll who are generally more consumptive of parks. Consequently, it would seem that constant value of parkland person is biased against the multiple (or for single family) by requiring the same amount of land for adults as for children from single family homes. Alternate I under "Land Dedication" takes into consideration, at least to some degree, that single family residents are generally more consumptive of parks than multiple family residents. Consequently, even though there is an escalating percentage of land dedication based on the units per acre, this percentage is still less than the straight .012 acres per person. The increasing land dedication percentage seems much more fair than the straight 10% land dedication regardless of units per acre. CASH DEDICATION The cash dedication calculation is ver. similar to that which is being used currently other than the fact that it h s been updated based on residents per • unit. For example, under the existing barks dedication policy, single family is currently allocated for residents per unit and consequently, 25 units per 100 population. This has now been changed to 3.5 residents per unit and 28 units per 100 population. The other value change has been that the City is using 12 acres per 1,000 population as its standard. Utilizing this new standard of 1.2 acres per 100 population times the land value of $11,000 per acre, the required cash equivalent is $13,200. This figure, when divided by the 28 units per 100 population, equals the cash equivalency of $471.00 per unit. The proposed cash dedication takes into consideration that land values escalate with each type of housing unit. Currently, multiple family units are paying their cash dedication based on land values for single family versus land values for multiple. Under the current plan, there may be inequities between similar developers where one is providing a land dedication from a multiple dwelling area versus a cash dedication. Obviously, the cash dedication is significantly less expensive for a developer to provide than the • land dedication, particularly since that cash dedication is now currently calculated on single family land values while the land dedication is obviously of higher value. It is improbable that an ordinance containing land and cash dedications is going to be completely equitable and without flaw. However, any recalculations, computations and variations should attempt to continue to be fair and equitable as is possible both to the City and developer as well as between developers. Under Alternate I for cash dedication, the table shows the result of escalating land values based on units per acre. You will note that in the multiple apartment dwellings using land values of $17,000 per acre, the cash equivalant would be $392.00. This would be an increase of $92.00 from the 1986 adjusted fee of $300.00. However, noting that the parks dedication requirement could provide credit for on-site amenities provided by apartment developers, this fee could be reduced for on-site amenities. Those developers that provide tennis courts, swimming pools or other amenities with their apartment units could be credited up to the 25% reduction in the cash dedication. This would reduce the $392.00 dedication to $294.00 per unit. Those apartment developers who fail to provide any amenities on-site, thereby probably increasing the demand for park usage by apartment dwellers beyond the norm, would be paying the full $392.00 per unit. Essentially this provides greater flexibility for the City by providing credit against a cash dedication and is closer to the value of the property upon which they are developing. 1` Industrial/commercial dedication requirements shall remain as is. It appears that this dedication requirement and verbage should be sufficient to cover any contingencies associated with this dedication. However, this portion of the ordinance should contain and provide for updating of the cost per acre by resolution. This would allow the City to continue as it has in the past, but would formally recognize the process. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS In reviewing what other communities have done with their parks dedication requirements, it is interesting to note that for example, Blaine has included the cost for development of park facilities as part of their park dedication fees and included it in their calculation. The cities of Eden Prairie and Plymouth are doing likewise. State tatutes do not address the cost for development of facilities, although it seems clear that the intent of the state statute was to not require existing properties to pay more as a result • of increased development. Therefore, a reasonable portion of development construction could be construed as being part of a parks dedication requirement. Most communities do not provide for credit for parkland within easements or if part of a flood plain. Eagan's ordinance provides for this. It is this writer's opinion that because the City has a significant number of ponding areas utilized for storm water basins and because the City requires these for storm ponding easements from the developer, it appears that where parkland is also taken, partial credit should be given. Again this is an issue for discussion and review, but to do otherwise as a double taking of property. Several communities have "a savings clause" within their ordinance. The savings clause is simply a requirement that where the City has indicated a future park and the developer provides required parkland dedication and the park space needed is greater that the developer is required to set aside, the • additional property be set aside for up to one year in order to allow the City to purchase this additional land. The savings clause establishes a procedure and price for the property and is typically tied to the City's current fair market valuation for single family zoned property. This writer would strongly recommend that such provision be included within the parks dedication or zoning ordinance.

HEAR•I•NGS PROJECT 460/NICOLS ROAD A. Public Hearing for Project 460, Nicols Road (Streets - Beau de Rue Drive to Kings ,Road), Continued from February 4, 1986, Meeting --At the February 4th meeting, the Council held a public hearing to consider the upgrading of Nicols Road from Beau de Rue Drive to Kings Road. As a result of comments received from that public hearing and the discovery of technical errors in the publication process, the Council continued the public hearing until February 18. All property owners that were not properly noticed of the. February 4th meeting have been noticed of this February 18 meeting. Due to the fact that all property owners • had an opportunity to attend the February 4 meeting where the project was discussed in considerable de''lail, the staff will not repeat the detailed presentation at the February 18 meeting unless requested to do so. Considerable comments expressed at the February 4 hearing related to the proposed four -lane design from Cliff Road to Diffley Road and the width and location of the proposed eight -foot bitumi- nous trail along the east side. As a result, the Council requested staff to investigate the feasibility and related cost savings associated with reducing the eight -foot bituminous trail to six feet and to reducing the four -lane, 52 -foot width to a 46 - foot width street for additional comments and consideration at the February 18 meeting. Enclosed on pages 3#+ is a schematic design showing how this reduced street width would accommodate a present two-lane design with safety/parking shoulders which could be incorporated into a four -lane segment at critical inter- sections through proper striping and parking restrictions. If it is determined that a full, four -lane section is needed in the future to handle traffic volumes, the intersection design striping could be extended through the entire length of the roadway. Although this substandard, four -lane section would not be able to handle projected future traffic volumes as effici- ently as a full, 52 -foot,, four -lane section, it would still be able to serve the primary function of handling greater capaci- ties than a two -,lane street and providing turn lanes without affecting through traffic movements. Reducing the street width to 46 feet would result in an estimated cost savings of approximately $600,000. In checking with several bituminous contractors, it was determined that reducing the trailway width from eight feet to six feet would not result in any cost savings due to the limitations on present, state-of- the-art paving equipment. while there would be a cost savings 37- Agenda Information February 18, 1986, Page Fifteen :demo City Council Fleeting of material, the smaller trail would be higher labor intensive due to special equipment that would be required which would eliminate any cost savings. If this project is to be constructed during 1986, it is important that this project be approved as soon as possible so that detailed plans and specifications can be completed and submitted to Munici- pal State Aid for review and approval (four to six weeks) before a contract can be awarded.

Final Assessment Hearing, Project 411 (Lillian McCarthy - Trunk Storm Sewer, Continued from February 4, 1986 Meeting) -- On September 17, 1985, the original final assessment hearing was scheduled for Project 411 which provided for the trunk storm sewer outlet from Patrick Eagan Park. As a result of that final assess- ment hearing, a written objection was submitted by the attorney representing the Lillian McCarthy property on Lexington Avenue. Subsequently, the final adoption of the final assessments against the Lillian McCarthy property (parcel #10-02200-010-02) was continued several times to allow review by the Special Assessment • Committee which was performed on January 16, 1986_ Due to the fact that the appellant did not appear at the Special Assessment Committee meeting, the Council requested that formal notification be sent to Lillian McCarthy informing her that the Council will give formal consideration to this continued final assessment hearing at the February 18 meeting. Although the property incorporates 3.91 acres, only 1.5 acres were assessed at the agricultural/single family rate due to the "large lot" credit allocated to this parcel. All drainage from this property directly enters Patrick Eagan Park where the storm sewer system was installed. The location of this parcel in relationship to the improvements under 411 and a topogra hic map confirming directional drainage is enclosed on pages / through ��. for the Council's information and review. The Special Assessment Committee recommended that the assessment be reaffirmed as • originally proposed. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To close the public hearing and approve/deny the final assessment for Project 411 to the Lillian McCarthy property (parcel #10-02200-010-02) and, if approved, authorize certification to Dakota County for collection. 110 El c TJ X 0 .

Preliminary Plat Revision for Northview Meadows --At the last regular City Council meeting there was discussion regarding a preliminary plat revision for Northview Meadows. Questions were raised regarding the legal procedure for processing a preliminary plat revision. According to the City Attorney's office a waiver of plat or replat requires a public hearing before the Advisory Planning Commission. A revision to a preliminary plat requires a notification of the surro nu ding property owners but not a formal public hearing by the Planning Commission. Therefore, the preliminary plat revision of Northview Meadows as presented at the February 4, City Council meeting is in order for consideration,. For additional information on this item, refer to a memo prepared by the City Planner enclosed on page(s) - 6'0 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the preliminary plat revision for Northview Meadows as presented. W MEMO TO: THOMAS L HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: DALE C RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 1986 SUBJECT: UPDATE ON REVISION TO THE NORTHVIEW MEADOWS PLAT Since the February 3, 1986, City Council meeting, City staff has legally noticed this particular agenda item and has also sent notice to surrounding residents informing them the applicant is proposing to revise this plat and to create three (3) lots versus the five (5) that were originally proposed. Adequate' notice had not been given previously for this procedure to take place. In reviewing this revised plat.,- there were two processes the City could have .used to resolve this issue. The first was to request a • waiver of plat where legal descriptions would have been changed to correspond with these new lot lines. However, the legal descrip- tions were quite lengthy and would be cumbersome to follow in the future for tracking particular parcels. Staff suggested to the applicant to revise the plat so a new document would be recorded showing the new lot configurations with the easements in place. This is the best solution because the document is recorded listing the legal description. The problem with the revised document is that technically it should have taken approximately four months to replat. To expedite closings and to get the best document possible for the City, it was discussed among staff as a way to expedite this process and to resolve a problem that presently exists. In review of this total process, the only item that would be affected in the City is the side lot easements, and the public hearing has been advertised to vacate and relocate in accordance with this new plan. It was discussed administratively • that the City could expedite this process and help the developer meet his time frame for the scheduled closings on the lots where there are buildings located. I am in the process of working with the Building Department to determine how building permits have been -issued on the existing lots. At the present time, the building officials are sceheduled for a two-day conference but, hopefully, this information can be obtained and explained to the Council with a memorandum or verbally at the February 18 meeting. If you need additional information, please feel free to contact me at this office. M Cti " planner DCR/jj T� MEMO TO: THOMAS L HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: DALE C RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER <_ - DATE: FEBRUARY 30, 1986 SUBJECT: REVISION TO THE NORTHVIEW MEADOWS FINAL PLAT Northview Meadows was one of the first small lot subdivisions ._. platted within the City. The five lots, which the applicant is requsting to revise into three, have some different circumstances. Concerning lot 1, located on the corner of South Wescott Hills Drive and Braddock-Trail,,the builder did not take into account that South Wescott Hills Drive would require a larger setback than from a normal residential street. Therefore, the " first building encroachedinto a portion of another lot to the east of lot 1. Lots 4 and 5 are presently the location of the old existing Trapp Farm Homestead. When looking at renovating or. selling the home as is, it was found to be impossible to add a garage on the same lot as the existing house. There would have to be additional. easements or a portion of the lot to the west would have to be obtained in order to get a driveway around the west side of the house and still stay within the lot. Since there are three existing homes and closings are set for two of the properties, staff is suggesting that a revision to the plat be allowed in this instance because we are reducing five lots into three with there being no room for an additional home on these three lots. In reviewing the requirements of the City, it has been determined that the only item needed would be to vacate the public easements on the original lot lines creating new easements for..these new lots. The public hearing has been scheduled for February 4, 1986 to • vacate these easements but the City does not wish to vacate unless the Council approves the revision to the final plat and establishes the new easements in accordance with this -revision. The Development Contract, along with ..all other items for platting, was completed with the original Northview Meadows final plat. The circumstances are. unique -but.. because the the changes are minor, it appears •-that this process would be feasible to expedite the process and eliminate the extensive paperwork required if we could not modify the plat in this manner.

Park Consultant Appointment and Fee Schedule Consideration -- At the January 21, 1986, organizational meeting there was question regarding the rate schedule that would be charged by Tim Erkkila since his merger with Westwood Planning and Engineering Company. Tim Erkkila under the business name of Erkkila and Associates was hired to prepare the park master plan and work as a consultant for certain projects that were approved as a part of the park referendum. Mr. Erkkila has—responded with a letter, see pages 5$ through 53 , that explains his merger with Westwood Planning and Engineering Company and also the fee schedule that will be charged during 1986. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the hiring of Westwood Planning and Engineering Company as the City's park consultant for calendar 1986. 1511 WESTWOOD PLANNING & ENGINEERING COMPANY X, - February 7, 1986 Mr. Tom Hedges, Administrator 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, Minnesota 55122 Re: Consultation Fees Proposal Honorable Mayor and City Council Members: Recently, I submitted a fees schedule for unscheduled park planning and design services for 1986. I understand some clarification has been • requested. ERKKILA & ASSOCIATES MERGER WITH WESTWOOD PLANNING & ENGINEERING COMPANY - Originally (since 1981) and for several years following, Eagan utilized my services through my company known as Erkkila & Associates. On January 1, 1985, two weeks after issuing my 1985 rate schedule to you I merged with Westwood Planning and Engineering Company. Through all of 1985, Westwood Planning & Engineering Company honored the Erkkila & Associates work arrangement. Essentially, the 11new11 arrangement will be the same as last year except the fee arrangement changed slightly. 1. The merger involved the professional personnel of Erkkila & Associates joining Westwood. My previous personnel (Gordon Anderson and Anne Deuring) plus two planners of the Westwood's staff came under my direction. In summary, Eagan had no change of service (myself and my • old staff) plus additional staff in the area of planning and engineering. This merger strengthened the park planning and design services available to the City of Eagan. 2. CHANGE RATES - As identified in my letter proposal of January 9, 1986 there is a change in hourly rates. Gordon.Anderson and Anne Deuring (original Erkkila & Associates peronnel) charge rates go to $28.50 per hour from $25.00 per hour. My charge rate becomes $54.00 per hour. These increases are certainly comparable or better than consulting fee's the City has with it's other outside personnel and I would welcome a comparison if necessary. I am a registered Landscape Archi- tect with 15 years of experience. Anne Deuring is a registered Land- scape Architect with 7 years of experience, Gordon Anderson is a graduated Landscape Architect with 9 years of experience. The increase was overdue and intentially not instituted on January 1, 1985 to ease the perceived transition from the entity of Erkkila & Associates to Westwood Planning & Engineering Company. I remain the primary project manager for Eagan Parks work and utilize my experi- enced personnel (Anne and Gordon) on your work. The larger increase in my charge rate is not exptected to effect your overall costs sig- nificantly since 90 percent of your work is done by personnel at the lower rate. 7415 WAYZATA BOULEVARD. MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 5U26 (612) 5460155 �.Z 3. GENERAL - I believe my historic insight in the development of the present park system in Eagan gives me a particularly useful position since no other firm can. This "edge" is not utilized in our pricing of services to you. We have carefully attempted to price our services within or below prevailing rates (we are using a 1984 rate table) because we wish to continue to serve the City of Eagan. Our proposal is intended to serve the city well by,providing needed services by experience personnel at the best possible cost. I hope this letter clarifies our fee's proposal of 1986. Westwood Planning b Engineering Company is very interested in serving Eagan, through all it's resources, but specifically through myself and my staff. The name change to Westwood has done nothing to diminish the quality of services provided to Eagan. I will be willing to attend a council meeting if necessary to entertain any further question_ - Sincerely, WESTWOOD PLANNING S ENGINEERING COMPANY d;W&d1a Tim Erkkila, ASIA Vice President, Planning TE: pan cc: Ken Vraa S3 LIN Agenda Information Memo February 18, 1985, City Council .Meeting Page Twenty -Two GUN CLUB LAKE WATERSHED APPOINTMENTS C.

Appointments to the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Commis- sion --At the last regular City Council meeting, staff was directed to prepare additional information regarding the responsibilities of Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Commission members. The City of Eagan is responsible for the appointment of three members to that watershed management group. It is recommended that the Director of Public Works be one of those appointments. According to recent state legislation, each community within the metropolitan area was required to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement establishing a Watershed Management Organization (WMO). This Joint Powers Agreement provided for the establishment of a Commission to manage the affairs of this WMO. The makeup of this Commission is to consist of three representatives from the City of Eagan and two representatives each from Mendota Heights and Inver Grove Heights. This seven -member Commission would serve in its capacity through the establishment and adoption of the WMO's management plan after which Mendota Heights and Inver Grove Heights would withdraw one member each, leaving a five -member Commission to manage the ongoing affairs of the WMO. The purpose of this WMO is to provide an organization to preserve and use the natural water storage and retention of the Gun Club Lake Watershed to: a. Reduce to the greatest practical extent capital expenditures necessary to control excessive volumes and rates of runoff. b. Improve water quality. c. Prevent flooding and erosion from surface flows. d. Promote ground water recharge. e. Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities. •f. Secure the other benefits associated with the proper manage- ment of surface water. g. Carry out- all 'the duties and responsibilities outlined in Minnesota Statutes 473.875 through 473.883. Other than the Director of Public Works, the staff does not have any other recommendations .for representatives to this Commis- sion. It is anticipated that the Commission will meet monthly until the WMO's operational and management plan has been completed and, thereafter, 2-3 times a year for organizational business -(i.e. budget, capital improvement, permit issuance, etc.) 6 Agenda Information Memo February 4, 1986, City Council Meeting Page Twenty-five The Director of Public Works will be available to discuss in further detail the purpose and responsibilities of the WMO to help the Council arrive at proper representative appointments.

City Planner Runkle described the proposed two-sided interior lighted sign which would measure 8 feet by 9 feet with an overall height not to exceed 27 feet. It appeared that there were no adjacent lots that were as yet undeveloped that would be affected by the placement of a sign, as far as their own signage. Harrison moved, Wold seconded the motion to recommend approval of the conditional use permit for a pylon sign for AL1 -American Self Storage, west of Highway #13 and south of Shawnee Road, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the one-time sign fee of $2.50 per square foot be paid. 2. That all other applicable ordinances be complied with. 3. That the sign not deviate from the specifications presented to staff.

Dale Runkle described the structures as being identical to existing structures in the City of Eagan, consisting of brick with gabled roofs and access drives with 'T' turn arounds. Mr. Bob Docken, the realtor representing Northwestern Bell and in charge of locating the site described, was present to describe the proposals in greater detail. He indicated that he had talked to neighboring homeowners that did not object to the facilities. Mr. Robert Saleck of 3741 Blackhawk Road did appear to object to the application. His home is located north of Robin Lane and north of the house across Robin Lane and directly north of the proposed site. It was pointed out that there had been a lack of landscaping on previous such facilities. Harrison moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to 'recommend approval of the conditional use permits, subject to a landscape plan approved by staff and all other applicable ordinances.

It is the City's intention to close on the Blue Cross parkland and develop Blue Cross Park during 1986. Members of the City Council feel it is in the best interest of Eagan to work together on siting a building in Blue Cross Park. It is my understanding that Northwestern Bell has given considera- tion to the abandonment of that location. However, as stated, we hope you will continue reviewing alternatives which include further discussion with our Director of Parks and Recreation, Mr. Ken Vraa, of the Blue Cross Park site. • The City Council also included in the aforementioned motion the suggestion of a policy that Northwestern Bell contact the City Planning Department in the future before real estate negotiations commence regarding the siting of another switching station. It is important to the City Council that the staff be involved in the planning process regarding any future site --selections which could . eliminate neighborhood controversy and enhance site sensitivity. Please coordinate these efforts with Mr. Dale Runkle, our City Planner.

Preliminary Plat for 90 Single -Family Lots on 40 Acres and a Rezoning from A (Agricultural) to PD (Planned Development) -- The City Council reviewed rezoning and preliminary plat applications for the Greensboro project as submitted by Dave Gabbert at the February 4, 1986 meeting. Direction was given to the developer toeliminatethe cul-de-sac by causing that street to become a through street and further that all lots be increased in size to meet the 12,000 square foot minimums. For a copy of the revised preliminary plat and comments by the City Planning Department refer to .pages��3 through For a copy of the information that w s submitted with the last City Council packet refer to pages 177 through 189 of the February 4 Agenda Information Memo. A question was raised at the last City Council meeting regarding suitable zoning if all lots were to be 12,000 square feet. Whether R-1 or Planned Development zoning is allowed for this development the R-1 standards, as set forth in the zoning Ordinance, can be enforced,. Since the application for rezoning was from an A to PD, the Development Agreement would state that all development criteria must meet R -1 -requirements as set forth in the City Zoning Ordinance. A change to the R-1 zoning would require a new public hearing before the Planning Commission during March, delaying any further consideration on the preliminary plat until the first meeting in April. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: 1) To approve or deny rezoning from A to PD with the requirement in the Development ® Agreement that all R-1 standards be met according to the Zoning, - Ordinance. 2) To approve or deny the preliminary plat entitled Greensboro Addition. 7�_ MEMO TO: THOMAS L HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: DALE C RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 1986 SUBJECT: GREENSBORO REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT It is our understanding at the February 4, 1986,.City Council meeting that the plat is still going to proceed under the Planned Development zoning designation. However, all lots still must meet the 12,000 sq. ft. criteria. Therefore, a Planned Development Agreement will also be required for this development. The applicant has resubmitted the site plan showing the northern cul-de-sac removed, 60 ft. right-of-ways and lots which were to meet 12,000 sq. ft. In a quick review, staff has found one lot which does •not meet the 12,000 sq. ft. criteria. While in this review, it should be pointed out that all lots shall meet 85 ft. lot width at the 30 ft. setback and a minimum of 12,000 sq. ft. In review of this plan, it appears there is adequate room to shift lot lines and allow the one lot to increase square footage up to the 12,000 sq. ft. The attached exhibit was received late and is not as clear as what we would like to present to the City Council. Staff will work with the exhibit on an overhead Tuesday which will make the exhibit more legible for the presentation. The conditions still shall apply which were in the staff report for the original plat.

Contract 85-21, Concept Design Approval (Maintenance Garage Expansion) --During the past 2-3 months, the staff has held a series of design consideration meetings with the architect to arrive at a concept design for the new expansion and remodeling of the Maintenance Garage Facility. Through input from representatives of the Public Works and Parks Maintenance operations, the consultant has prepared this final concept design layout which should receive formal Council approval before proceeding with the detailed design phase associated with plans—and specifications and final budget estimates. Enclosed on pages ___ZZ tthrough ,Q is informa- tion pertaining to this final concept design as provided by Bohrman IF Architects. This information and a three dimensional scale model will be reviewed and discussed by the architect to answer any questions the Council may have at this point in the design process. The staff is very pleased and quite excited with the architectural design that has been incorporated into this Maintenance Facility which we feel will greatly minimize the potential negative impact that might be associated with this facility being surrounded by residentially zoned property. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/modify the concept design for the proposed Maintenance Garage expansion and if approved, authorize the preparation of detailed plans and specifi- cations. • 74� Agenda Information February 18., 1980, Page Twenty -Six Memo City Council Mee"ing REVIEW OF ON -SALE LIQUOR LICENSE POLICY A. Review of On -Sale Liquor License Policy --At the last regular City Council meeting there were questions raised about current regulatory language in the City Code that requires all on -sale liquor licenses to meet a $200,000 valuation test. The City staff was directed to review various options for the City Council to consider to better regulate the issuance of on -sale liquor licenses. The City staff has reviewed valuation, seating capacity, food/ liquor ratio, geographic locations and the concept of reserving • certain licenses. 'These alternatives are discussed in a memo prepared by Administrat've Assistant Witt and is enclosed on pages through There are .so many choices for the C tC t ncil to consider regarding the regulation of on -sale liquor licenses. Once a general discussion and further direction is given, the City staff will be able to firm up a policy for consideration. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To review changes to the on -sale liquor license policy and direct the City staff to draft specific language for policy change. rvL] MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES FROM: ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT WITT DATE: FEBRUARY 13, 1986 SUBJECT: ON -SALE LIQUOR By State statute, the City of Eagan is allowed 18 on -sale liquor licenses until the population reaches 45,000. For each 2,-500 increase thereafter, another license may be issued. There are currently nine active licenses in Eagan and their locations are shown on the map. The first license was issued in 1973, two in 1974, one each in 1976 and 1979, three in 1982 and one in 1983. A survey of metro area communities was undertaken and the results are shown on the chart. Staff learned that several variables could be involved in the issuing of licenses. Various options to regulate issuance of licenses include: 1. Valuation: If valuation is used, the term must be defined as to what is and what is not included. Eagan requires an appraised value of $200,000 as to the building or portion of building associated with liquor sales. Staff has assumed that this refers to the County Assessor's figure of estimated market value and does not include land or any items such as fixtures or equipment not included by the Assessor. Burnsville requires a $1,000,000 valuation which includes fees, site development, construction costs, utilities, furnishings and fixtures, but not land. The County Assessor's values for free standing structures and a facility in a strip shopping center differ. The major • factor in a strip center is the square footage of the building and land. The type of use is not included in calcu- lations because it changes constantly. The assessor does make adjustments based on vacancy rates in a center. Right now the Cedar -Cliff occupancy rate is high and its building/land value is higher than for the Flour Bin across the street. The assessor said the City would have to break out building/land costs for a particular center occupant through whatever methods they choose; the County only asses- ses as a whole. At least ,some of the current holders of Eagan on -sale liquor licenses do not meet valuation requirements but I believe were grandfathered in when the Ordinance was adopted, or the valuation was not considered when the license was issued. The Valley Lounge, Richard's Food and Liquor and the Mediterranean Cruise have payable 1985 valuations of $105.,500, $98,600 and $147,400, respectively, including both land and building. The Cedarvale Bowl and the Eagandale Club probably do -not meet the valuation test either when it is applied against the portion of the building relating to food and liquor. 9� 2. Seating Capacity - Square Footage: Most communities set a larger minimum seating capacity than Eagan. The higher number tends to increase the valuation and decrease the possibility of a "night club" facility. Although without a food percentage requirement being enforced, size/seating capacity may just produce larger facilities selling primarily liquor. 3. Food -Liquor Ratio: This option also serves to promote restaurant and decrease "night clubs" by requiring a greater percentage of the business be with the food operation. Brooklyn Center directly ties the license fee to the food percentage and found this to be an effective means to discourage "night clubs" and bars. An auditor's services would be required to validate the food -liquor .ratio. Eagan has not conducted any reviews of any establishment that I am aware of, instead relying on good faith, voluntary compli- ance. 4. Location: Whether to allow or disallow an liquor establishment in a strip center has not been an issue in most cities. If the applicant meets the Code requirements, he can locate in any area zoned to allow such an establishment. In Eagan, on -sale licenses can be a conditional use in the following zones: Limited Business - LB Neighborhood. Business - NB General Business - GB Community Shopping Center - CSC Regional Shopping Center - RSC Roadside Business - RB (is &,.permitted use) Limited Industrial and General Industrial allow beer and wine only. Given that information,- it may be appropriate to limit licenses issued to smaller or lower valuation establishments geographically so as to dispense a pre -determined number throughout the community. This approach would be similar to the current status of off -sale licenses. Without that restriction, there is a staff concern about small strip shopping centers having two or three licenses. For example, both Slicers and Hong Wong in Cedar -Cliff. 5. Reserved Licenses: Most communities have many inactive licenses and do not feel the need to reserve licenses. Eagan may want to divide up the current maximum number available. to different types or different valuation levels thereby reserving a number of licenses for various types of establishments. The City Code currently incorporates four of these five possi- bilities into issuance of on -sale licenses excluding only geographic locations. The current combination of relatively low seating capacity and license fee make liquor sales an economic S71-5 possibility for a large number of businesses. The valuation restrictions and food ratios while easy to define in a schedule are very difficult to monitor and enforce. Any new schedule based on valuation should incorporate existing licenses and not just grandfather them which would generate a rather large number in the lower valuation group and necessitate some review of licenses such as Cedarvale Bowl.

Preliminary Plat Consisting of Approximately 9.5 Acres and Containing 144 Apartment Units Entitled Stuart's First Addition -- A public hearing was held before, the Advisory Planning Commission at their January 2'8., 1986 meeting, to consider a preliminary plat application submitted by Stuart Nolan for a 9.5 acre,, 144 apartment unit project. This project is, to be located in Outlots A and B, Tomark 2nd Addition. The Advisory Planning. Commission is recom- mending approval of the preliminary plat subject to the conditions in the staff report and with a modification to condition #11 that allows for the prepayment of -special assessments. The prepayment • of special assessments will not be—required as long as it was a one -owner project vs. a condominium split between a number of owners. Prior to being condominiums or selling this assessment would be paid, is the language desired by the Commission. For additional information on this item refer to the Planning and Engineering Department report found on pages q0through The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission is recommending that 1) A cash dedication requirement be satisfied and 2) That a bituminous trailway be allowed on Lexington Avenue. For a copy of the APC minutes -refer to pages through �. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the preliminary plat for Stuart's First Addition as presented. 1] in CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT - APPLICANT: STUART'S FIRST ADD (Stuart Nolan) LOCATION: TOMARK 2ND ADD, NW'%, SECTION 14 EXISTING ZONING: R-4 (MULTIPLE) = DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 28, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 15, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING • APPLICATION: An application has been submitted for preliminary plat approval for the Stuart's First Addition. The plat consists of 144 apartment units on 9.5 acres (2 outlots), east of Lexington AV & west of Carriage Hills Golf Course, ZONING & LAND USE: The site is zoned R-4 multiple and is surround- ed by the same zoning on all sides except for an agricultural lot along the SW property line. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designated this area as R -III, density 6 - 12 units per acre. Golfview Rd will be continued to the west and meet Lexington AV directly across from Town Centre 100 Rd. The applicant has an option on the- land north of this road extension. This area contains a ponding area and is quite low in relation to the existing Lexington AV, which is scheduled for improvements in 1988. The subject area is rolling grassland and has little or no mature ,,:vegetation. , SITE PLANNING: There are two (2) buildings proposed, each contain - in _g ontain-ing 72 units and underground parking. One additional 10' parking . stal-l.has been provided outside thus meeting Code requirements _ in terms of size and numbers. These buildings will be connected ` by a covered walkway to a centrally located recreation building.'' This building will contain .a sauna,- whirlpool, spa, excercise room and possibly an indoor pool. A tot lot will be provided ,.near the recreation building. O'Leary Park, acrossLexington AV, will contain tennis courts when the parks development takes place. . -A secondary loop service drive will connect the parking 'areas -and provide emergency access to the recreation building area. This .drive will have knock -down bollards at the parking lot point.. The buildings and parking areas meet or exceed all City setback and coverage requirements. 1 V STUART'S FIRST ADD PAGE 2 JANUARY 28, 1986 COMMENTS: The tentative project name will be%Carriage Crossings'. These apartments will be made of 100% brick with redwood gables. This style should be quite compatible to the surrounding area. The apartments will be marketed as a higher income rental project. Extra amenities include: fireplaces in some units, larger more usable balconies and easy access laundry facilities in addition to the enclosed recreation building features. The interior con- struction will include staggard stud walls and gyperete to help eliminate typical apartment noise as much as possible. Tentative rent prices will be approx. $575, $675 and $775 for 1, 2 and .3 bedroom units respectively. GRADING/DRAINAGE: The grading plan that the applicant submitted is feasibleand within City Codes. Although the grading operations will disturb almost the entire site, there is no substantial vegetation or trees that the grading will affect. Staff recommends • the applicant review his grading plan in the area between the tot lot and rec building to provide better positive drainage to the north. As it is now, water will stand in this area. Also, the grading done on this development shall not adversly impact the existing from the County's culvert under Lexington Av and the private culvert under an existing dirt road at the SW corner of this proposed development. The County will probably replace the existing culvert with the upgrading of Lexington Av in 1988. The grading plan, as proposed, shows filling of . up to 8' over existing sanitary sewer line along the easterly portion of .this proposed development. The existing cover is about 10' presently, making the total proposed fill over the pipe about 18'. While this depth approaches the maximum fill height over the PVC sanitary sewer pipe, staff does not feel this should pose any problems because the depth is still within the allowable limits for backfilling over PVC pipe. Prior to the gradingoperations and until the completion 'U f the • restoration over this site, this development shall install adequate '•erosion control measures to prevent the depositing of sediment within existing City storm sewer lines in Golfview Dr or within r,,the existing low area in the SE corner of this proposed development.'. This development is located within drainage 'district "D -The existing and future runoff will be toward the north and eventually into pond DP -10. Project 443 (O'Neil pond) will provide the gravity outlet from pond DP -10 downstream through DP -5 and DP -4. ` The downstream system from DP -4 is currently in place all the way to the Minnesota River Valley. As a result, this development ` will not require any trunk storm sewer construction to accommodate. its runoff. - or' y C � STUART'S FIRST ADD PAGE 3 JANUARY 28, 1986 UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size, capacity and depth are in place adjacent to this property to provide service to it. The sanitary sewer may be extended from the end of the existing Golfview Dr westerly within Golfview Dr. The applicant can also extend the existing 8" water main within Golfview Dr westerly and connect into the existing 18" water main on the west side - of Lexington AV to complete the watermain loop within this area. At the writing of this report, it is the developer's intention to proceed with the installation of public utilities and streets under a private contract. The developer must submit plans and specs prepared in accordance with City standards for review and approval prior to final plat approval. i STREETS: Lexington AV (Co. Rd. 43) abuts this development along the west and Golf view Dr is stubbed to the NEcorner of this proposed development. Dakota County Hwy Dept maintains jurisdiction over Lexington AV, which is presently a two lane rural section roadway. Dakota County proposes on improving Lexington AV to a 52' wide minor arterial collector street in 1988. Golfview Dr is an existing residential City street. This development proposes to extend Golfview Dr westerly to Lexing- ton Av. This intersection will be directly across from Town Centre 100 Dr. TRAILWAYS: Because of the designation of Lexington AV as a minor arterial roadway, City policy will require a trailway along ,both sides of Lexington Av. The trailway portion adjacent the westerly border of this property will be the responsibility of this develop- ment. . Because the actual installation of this trailway will not be until 1988, staff recommends this development prepay for the trailway installation as referenced under the assessment paragraph. PERMITS: This development will be -responsible for obtaining the following permits prior to final plat approval: 1) MPC sewer extension permit 2) Mn Dept -of Health water main extension permit 3) Dakota County Hwy .access .and work within County right-of-way permit RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS: Staff recommends this development dedicate the full 60' right-of-way for the Golfview Dr extension on the final plat. The previously platted Tomark Add provided for a 55' half right-of- way for Lexington Av. This width should be sufficient for the . -.upgrading of Lexington AV to 52' in the future. However, because . v STUART'S FIRST ADD PAGE 4 JANUARY 28, 1986 of the potential grading required to rebuild Lexington AV, staff recommends this development provide a 20' slope easement adjacent the westerly boundary of this proposed development. Staff will require increasing the easement over the existing sanitary sewer to 30' centered over the sewer line because of the additional fill proposed by this development. Because the easterly parking lot for building #2 will be encroaching the sanitary sewer easement, staff recommends that the applicant enter into an agreeement with the City whereby the applicant will agree to pay for any parking lot and trailway restoration necessary if the City has to repair the sanitary sewer line in the future. ASSESSMENTS: The City assessment records indicate that for outlots A & B of the Tomark 2nd Add, all trunk area related assessments for water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer are either levied or pending with the exception of lateral benefit from trunk water main. This development will be responsible for the lateral benefit from trunk water main as illustrated in figure #2 along its westerly boundary at the rate in effect of final platting. In addition, staff recommends this development prepay its multi -family rate for Lexington AV future improvements along with the future trailway improvements. The following table summarizes the assessment responsibilities for this development. Assessment Summary Est'd 1986 Description Quantity Rate Amount Lateral Benefit from 480 f.f. $11.88 : $5,702 Trunk Watermain Lexington AV 480 f.f. $63.36 $30,413 Trailway 480 f.f. $11.81 $ 5,669 Total $41,784 All costs associated with the installation of the public improve- ments will be the sole responsibility of this development. .CONDITIONS: 1) The garage shall be included in the rental unit price if only 2 stalls per unit are provided with this project. 2) Shall be subject to Park Commission's review and comment `:. regarding park dedication. . 3):.

Several - condominium owners from Ca ri ills Condominiums appeared objecting on the -. basis that they were having ifficulty with the developer of their complex in gaining control of the Condominium Association. Apparently, the District Court had recently ruled against them in regard to control of their .:association based upon the developer's ability to bring the three additional outlots into the aevelopmenar that Mr. Nolan was the owner or owned the option to th three remainin lots and thus, the condominium owners were advised to pursue ERU ma aM er with their own legal counsel. - Mulrooney moved, Bohne seconded th moIrntal n to recommend approval of the .preliminary plat, subject to the fo 10 ing aitions. 1.

Memo City Council Meeting PRELIMINARY PLAT AND REZONING/UNITED METHODIST CHURCH C. Preliminary Plat Consisting of Approximately 5 Acres and Containing One Lot and a Rezoning from PD to PF for Advent United Methodist Church --A public hearing was held before the Advisory Planning Commission at their January 28, 1986 meeting to consider two (2) applications that were submitted by Advent Methodist Church consisting of a rezoning from Planned Development to Public Facilities and preliminary plat. The APC is recommending approval of the preliminary plat and rezoning subject to the staff report noting- that trees be planted on the north and south property lines ® and along Lexington Avenue. For additional information on this item refer to the Planning and Enginee ing report, a copy is enclosed on pages /D / through /OFor a copy of the Parks and Recreation recommendation refer to page /O 9 For a copy of the action that was taken by the APC refe to those minutes found on page (s)//,Q4/// . ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: 1) To approve or deny the rezoning from PD to PF. 2) To approve or deny the preliminary plat for Advent United Methodist Church. • CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICANT: ADVENT METHODIST CHURCH LOCATION: EXISTING ZONING: NE4, SECTION 22 R-2 & AGRICULTURAL DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 28, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 17, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING • APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted by Advent Methodist Church requesting a rezoning of R-2 and agricultur- al districts to a single public facilities district south of the Westbury Addition along Lexington Av. ZONING & LAND USE: This site abuts the Westbury Addition to the north and west, an agricultural parcel of approx. 5 acres and Patrick Eagan Park, to the south. The Lexington Square develop- ment is across Lexington Av. The Comprehensive Guide Plan design- ates this area as R-1, single family, 0 - 3 units per acre. The topography is quite flat with the highest areas being at the 890 elevation and the lowest at 884. Off site to the south and west the land drops off rather quickly towards the park. The vegetation consists primarily of scrub grasses over a sandy loam soil. • CODE COMPLIANCE: , The proposed church building and parking area will be constructed in a phased approach. The first phase will consist of the main worship area (7,500 S.F.) and parking for 92 cars at 10' spacing. City Code requires 1 space for each 3.5 seats based on capacity design. 300 seats will be provided thus requiring 85 spaces. The northern one-half of the parking lot will be constructed with the initial development and the remaining area will be graveled for overflow parking. The building setback along Lexington AV is 70' and the parking setback is 30', both within .the code requirements of 50' and 20' respectively. .-Ample' areas to the north and west have been alloted for _future expansion. There will be no problem accomodating setbacks and lot -coverage standards. COMMENTS: Access to the church will be from a single 24' drive from Lexington Av. The site distance appears good at this location. A 12' wide -drop off area is provided on the northern most area of this entry drive. A canopy will cover this area in a later phase of development. /O / a ADVENT METHODIST CHURCH REZONING & PREL PLAT JANUARY 28, 1986 PAGE 2 The building will be a single story and consist of either cedar or redwood. A wood frame struction will most likely be the con- struction style, however, the architect wishes to use some brick if the funds become available. Asphalt shingles will also be used. At this point, no steeple is foreseen and the height will not appear out of scale with the surrounding areas. Staff has not seen building elevations as of yet. A preliminary landscape plan has been provided and it illustrates screening of the parking area from Lexington AV through the use of plant material and an earth berm. TOPOGRAPHY/DRAINAGE: This development is located west of Lexington AV and south and east of—the Westbury Additions. The existing topography is relatively flat farmland draining in a westerly • direction. This proposed development is located within drainage district "J", as depicted in Figure ;1. Drainage from this proposed development is to be directed into trunk storm sewer which eventual- ly outlets into pond JP -9 (McCarthy Lake). There are two alternatives available for the parking lot drainage. First, the parking lot could drain to the east towards Lexington AV where storm water would be collected in catch basins constructed by this development and outlets into the ditch along Lexington Av. This would require County approval. The second alternative would be to drain the parking lot to the west in its natural drainage pattern through Patrick Eagan Park to pond JP -9. This would require the approval of the Eagan Park Commission. UTILITIES: An 18" trunk watermain was installed under project 395-I and is located 20' west of the centerline of Lexington AV, which will sufficiently service this project. As part of the Westbury Addition, an 8" sanitary sewer lateral was constructed and a manhole placed at the north property line of this proposed development to adequately service this site. It would be the responsibility of this development to extend the saidsanitarylateral from its north property line to its south property line for future service to parcel 010-02, located directly south. STREETS/TRAILWAYS: Lexington AV borders this proposed development on the east. This road is a County road and is presently planned to be upgraded from a two lane rural section to a four lane urban section in 1988. County approval will be required for the entrance location onto Lexington AV. It will be the responsibility of this developmentto construct an 8' bituminous trailway adjacent to Lexington Av. /D y 0 ADVENT METHODIST CHURCH REZONING & PREL PLAT JANUARY 28, 1986 PAGE 3 RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS: A 55' half right-of-way will be required to be dedicated for Lexington Av. In addition to all regular 10' utility easements adjacent to public right-of-way and 5' drainage and utility easements adjacent to all lot lines, a utility easement will be required for the sanitary lateral to be extended from the north to south property lines of this proposed development. In addition, a ponding and utility easement will be required if the parking area is to be drained to pond JP -9. A 10' trailway easement shall be provided adjacent to Lexington Av. ASSESSMENTS: Research into the assessments regarding this site indicate the site is still responsible for the upgrading of trunk area storm sewer and trunk area watermain from agricultural to commercial rates. These are summarized on the following table: Estimated 1986 Amount Description Quantity Date Trunk Area Water Upgrading 3.73 (ac)(1) $1,830(2) $6,825 Trunk Area Storm Sewer Upgrading Total 162,564 S.F.(1) $0.025(3) $4,065 $10,890 (1) Net Area (2) Difference between agricultural & commercial rates ($3,020 - 1,190) (3) Difference between agricultural & commercial rates ($0.075 - 0.050) CONDITIONS: 1) The canopy area will require a Conditional Use Permit. 2) ' The parking lot shall be completed to City ' standards as soon as the overflow area is being used on a regular basis. 3) A detailed landscape plan and financial guarantee shall be submit- ted and not released until 1 year after completion.

In reviewing the plat, the Advisory Commission expressed some concern over the proposed drainage flow from the parking lot through Patrick Eagan Park. Concern is for overland drainage which would cause erosion within steep sloped areas further to the west. It was noted that staff was to meet with the representatives of the church to"review possible alternatives. • The Advisory Commission recommended the following: 1) That this development be responsible for costs associated with a bituminous trailway on Lexington Avenue through the length of its plat. 2) That the cash dedication requirement be waived until such time that this property is converted into any other use.

The other is a conditional use for a pylon sign and drive-thru for a restaurant on the eastern portion of the building. ZONING & LAND USE: This site is surrounded shopping center) zoning on the north and east, the proposed Hardee's Restaurant. It will be the access points to Hardees and the subject .from each other. The area to the south is • business, just east of the First B-ank Eagan. with little or no vegetation at this time. by CSC (community To the west is important that site meet across designated limited The land is flat SITEPLANNING & CODE COMPLIANCE: This plat will consist of the . retail area ± 2.1 acres and an outlot of nearly 1 acre to the south. Two entry/exit points are provided, .one along Krestwood La and the other on Duckwood Dr. Both are large enough for east vehicular movement and -have good site lines. Most of the parking will be on the northern one-half of the site. A one way loop road along the southern portion of the site will provide parking for 29 cars and stacking for the fast food menu board and pick up area. City Code requires one parking stall per 150 sq. ft. .in retail areas. This 12,620 sq, ft, center will require 84 stalls. The fast. food restaurant, a food fair type that will include the Golden Skillet and a Dairy Queen, will not have a separate parking area but use available stalls from the 109 that are provided. The parking stalls are shown_ to be 10' wide and both building and parking setbacks meet Code requirements. .Staff has recommended that an easement between the retail area and the out -lot be created. to allow movement between the parcels ' ;,,.without going on Krestwood first. Also, that only one -access be allowed onto Krestwood from the outlot, iii K CHARLES DEVELOPMENT PRELIMINARY PLAT & COND USE PERMIT JANUARY 28, 1986 PAGE 2 The interior lighted pylon sign will be located west of the Duckwood Dr entrance and must be placed 10' within the property line from the widest portion of the signage area.

COMMENTS: The building's exterior will be brown iron spotted brick over concrete block with a concrete walkway in front. Store front accents will be achieved through the use of anodized aluminum - the color has yet to be determined. A rock faced coping will continue around the entire building above the sign band area. The signage will typically be ± 24". The back side of the building will be 8" single score painted concrete block.., The gabled entry to the Food Fare area will be sky lighted... and serve as a major focal point. A tot lot will be provided adjacent to the northern portion of -the restaurant and will require • some form of safety barrier from the parking/road areas. A separate trash area has not been shown, therefore, it is assumed that all debris will be contained within the building. GRADING/DRAINAGE: Because this site is rather flat, the grading the applicant is proposing is certainly feasible. The final grading plan the applicant submits for final plat approval shall contain adequate erosion control methods in accordance with the City's Erosion Control Manual. This site lies within major drainage district D as shown in Figure 1. All downstream trunk storm sewer facilities within this district are in place. No trunk storm sewer facilities are necessary as a result of this development. However, this development will- be responsible for extending the existing ,storm ,sewer outlet from Krestwood La to their ea s property line. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and watermain of .sufficient size, capacity and depth exist within Krestwood La and Duckwood Dr. ;This development will not require any.utilities extensions.. STREETS: buckwood Dr borders this --proposed development on .the north and Krestwood La borders on the west. Both streets are City streets. Duckwood Dr is classified as -a community collector - street and was constructed to City standards in 1985 under project 429. Krestwood La is classified as a local street also .Built to City standards.. The northerly access to this development from Duckwood Dr lines up with Town Centre Dr 70 to form a four-way intersection. _. The westerly access from Krestwood La is far ,enough away from the Duckwood Dr. intersection to provide safe ingress and egress.'

DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 28, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 8, 1986 REPORTED BY: JIM STURM APPLICATION SUBMITTED: •An application has been submitted requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow two (2) above -ground liquid storage tanks on lot 5 of the Imre Addition, west of T.H. 149 & north of T.H. 55. BACKGROUND: The proposed storage tanks will be used to hold liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) and diesel motor fuel for Airco Industrial Gases. Currently the zoning is PD; surrounding land uses are of the light industrial or general business nature. General Coatings is to the immediate north as is Artistic Wood. An excavat- ing company's building, to the east, i9 at least 250 feet from Airco's eastern property line. Access to the site is provided from a service drive that connects to a frontage road north of T.H. 55. TANK 1 (LIQUID CO2) This CO2 tank, approved by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), will measure '14' x 75' and be 16' high (see exhibits). The volume is 250 tons, however, the tanks only hold 75% liquid and are regulated by two separate_ sets of safety controls. . The tank will be located 5' from the -7'_ chain link fence on the north and west. Carbon dixoide has a variety of uses including; carbonation of beverages, fire extinguishing, freezing of meat and chilling everything from medicines to semi -conductor components. C62 does not promote- combustion and as a result, this type of .tank can often be stored within a building. The applicant intends to- store this liquid only and wil not use it -on the site. Koch Refinery of Rosemount is the supplier. The Building Inspection . Department has approved this tank and plan at the January 6, 1986 staff review meeting. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - AIRCO JANUARY 28, 1986 PAGE 2 TANK 2 (DIESEL MOTOR FUEL) This proposed diesel fuel storage will measure 14' x 14' and be 20' tall. The applicant wishes to place the tank in one of two possible locations; 1) between warehouses 1 & 2 along the eastern property line of the site or 2) just south of the proposed CO2 tank. Due to the size and height of this tank, there will be special safety precautions required by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and a separate approval by the State Fire Marshall's office. The City Inspection's Dept has no other requirements other than the written approval by the MPCA & State Fire Marshall's office. CONDITIONS: 1) Detailed Landscape plan be submitted to bring the area into compliance with City Code. Screeningshould be encouraged to lessen the impact of these two tanks. • /aZ�Q • HTS ' �� :' -- - �- r -- - ---------- v..

This plan reduced the amount of community shopping center district and provided some neighborhood and limited business areas. The first application was a preliminary plat in the neighborhood business portion abutting Lexington Av, south of Co Rd 30. The one comment made with this preliminary plat was that the square footage require- ment of 20,000 sq. ft. still.be-upheld for the neighborhood business portion. Mr Mark Ravich has been working with the first development plan and is trying to obtain leases in order to construct a 20,000 sq. ft. strip center. Since the last approval in 1985, Mr Ravich has changed the site plan slightly and would like to review this with the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council. The preliminary plat and final plat will not change, therefore, no repeat public hearing is needed for this review. The change that Mr Ravich would like to discuss is on the north end of the building. Instead of 'a'typical strip center, Mr Ravich has been working with a service station that would provide gas pumps on the north._ end of the building and also have 4 service bays that would have access from the east side of the building. Additional landscaping and berming has been done on the east side by Center Drive in order to screen the access to the service bays as much as possible. This facility would. contain two 20' drive aisles so that cars may circulate around the pump island. In reviewing the zoning ordinance, it appears that a service station with service bays is a permitted use within the neighborhood business district. This appears to be a unique concept with tying it to the strip center. Mr Ravich would like to review this concept with the Planning Commission and City Council. If the Commission does approve this concept -`it should be subject to a detailed landscape plan and revised grading plan so that adequate berming can be provided around the east end of the building. All other conditions placed on the Eagan Center lst Addition shall be adhered to for this development plan. 131 I r- �� °''15`ti� �• �� 5 �'.Ia; �}�},t�•1 1 - .411L��,- ',�4pt1 �� f ( Y: r ) • w� • i FUTURE -$TREAT- i j i ..

At that meeting the City Administrator would like to update the City Council on the status of the radio communications system which has received additional evaluation since budget discussions --last fall. There are some various City Council and administrative policies that need to be reviewed which could be considered at that meeting. The City Administrator will provide a detailed agenda of information to be discussed well in advance of the meeting. If this date is agreeable to members of the City Council a motion will be suggested at the meeting on Tuesday to set March 11 as a Special City Council/Workshop session to review a number of items.

Sperry has indicated that they are preparing a statement to be submitted to the City and the two regional. newspapers, the Minneapolis Star and Tribune and St. Paul Dispatch, regarding comments that were made by Don Bruun. Apparently, Mr. Bruun had accepted a position with the Honeywell Corporation and is no longer employed at Sperry. According to the Sperry Corporation, normally formal press releases are prepared by that department and given to the newspapers. According to Sperry personnel this procedure was not followed on the Eagan proposal.

Also enclosed on page /217 is a copy of a print out that illustrates the impact on he City of Eagan if the Governor's budget cut is adopted. The City has budgeted approximately $1,177,000 for 1986 and in reality would only receive $1,076,000 or an estimated $101,000 reduction in the appropriation. Obviously, the impacts vary quite substantially between cities if you look at the amount Duluth would lose under the Governor's budget cut. Since all cities are in "wait and see" until the end of the session there is no need for action to be taken at this time, however, it may become necessary this spring to address some type of budget adjustment or allocate reserves for the loss of revenue. SBOARD OF REVIEW MEETING The City has received a letter from the Dakota County Assessor's office asking- that the City determine by February 28, a date for the Board of Review meeting for 1986. The date that is being suggested by the Dakota County Assessor's office is Wednesday, May 28, 1986. If this meeting date is agreeable, the City Clerk's office will so indicate to the Assessor's office.

C-JQgeS 4krow1h /S/ Thomas L. Hedges City Administrator /--17 MEMO TO: DALE RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: FEBRUARY 12, 1986 SUBJECT: DETACHED HOUSING STUDY In official action that was taken by the City Council at a regular meeting held on Tuesday, February 4, 1986, staff .was directed to conduct a complete analysis of future single-family/detached housing demands and needs for the community. I would like your department to make such•an analysis and hopefully have your study completed for review at one of the two March City Council meetings. City Councilmember Wachter who was the author of the motion is concerned about future demographics and whether the City has adequate zoning and land use to handle the single- family/detached housing demands that—could be placed on this community. Possibly information as provided by the Met Council and other agencies could be helpful in compiling an analysis. Certainly trends that are occurring in Eagan regarding the number of single- family permits would be helpful and this data should be shared in such an analysis. I reminded the City Council that statistical data was provided at the Comprehensive Guide Update and again, this information could be included in such a study. If you have any questions, I would suggest contacting City Council - member Wachter either through a meeting with myself or by telephone so our 'study completely addresses his concerns.

There were a number of reasons why this program was started in '1972 and those reasons remain valid; consequently, the Federal Government's commitment should also continue. In helping to provide essential support for the nation's local governments in meeting the costs of implementing national policies and in assisting in the maintenance of services and facilities required for economic growth, the program has proven to be efficient and effective. The concept of using the Federal. Government's ability to raise revenues in partnership with local governments' unques- tioned knowledge of public demands for local government services allows for the greatest possible use of limited resources. The City of Eagan has used General Revenue Sharing funds for acquisition, construction and improvement to major community facilities, including the purchase of land, construction of a police facility, partial funding of a municipal government center and expansion of the maintenance garage. Other items of benefit to the total community purchased with these funds include early warning sirens and voting equipment. As a very rapidly growing community, tremendous pressure is placed on City officials to provide necessary infrastructure and essential governmental services. Given the value of the program to this City, the continued validity of tax base sharing and limited ability to raise replacement revenues locally, it is essential that this program be continued.

Jennings Speaker of the House District 29A Martin-Watonwan Counties February 6, 1986 Dear City Official: Minnesota House of Representatives (Please share this letter with your mayor and council members.) It was recently announced that our DFL governor, Rudy Perpich, has underestimated state revenue collections by $734 million. To make up for his error, Governor Perpich has proposed cutting state aid payments to local units of government. Your city's finances would be seriously impaired if the DFL governor's plans are adopted. Not only would you see your local - government -aid payments reduced, but homestead credits as well. Governor Perpich is leaving locally -elected officials such as yourself with little choice but to raise local real estate taxes. That may solve the state's fiscal dilemma, but it does so by transferring the problem to you at the local level. The IR House majority intends to fight to protect our cities from bearing the burden of the state's fiscal mismanagement. Your assistance is necessary if we are to persuade the DFL governor and Senate liberals that cities should be spared from cuts. Please take a few minutes to call or write the DFL governor and your local senator, and ask them to support the efforts of House Independent -Republicans to balance the state budget by cutting areas other than local -government aid. We're going to fight to try and come through this current budget problem without impairing the ability of local governments to serve their citizens.

This issue marks the beginning of the third year Update has been published by the Municipal Legislative Com- mission. During the past two years the primary audience of Update was the mayors and city council members of the 15 MLC member cities. Beginning with this issue„ the primary audience will be the 23 state representatives and 15 state senators that comprise the MLC Legislative Delegation. Several months ago, the MLC Communications Subcommittee chaired by Jim Willis, City Manager of Plymouth, recommended to the MLC that the focus of Update be shifted to the legislative delegation. The objective of this publication is to inform legislators of MLC's legislative program and the key issues of concern to our suburbs. It will also serve as a vehicle to disseminate informa- tion about our cities and the individuals that run these cities. Update will provide legislators with information that specifically addresses the cities they represent. • In this issue, articles have been included that discuss the effects of the Governor's proposed cuts in local government aid and homestead credit, a summary of the 1986 policy resolu- tions adopted by the MLC Board of Directors at the January Board Meeting, a profile of the new MLC City Inver Grove Heights and a background piece on Minnetonka City Manager James Miller who is the new President of the League of Minnesota Cities. Update will be published monthly during the legislative session ann monthly during the interim. The MLC lobbyist, Larkin, Hoffman, Daly & Lindgren, Ltd., is responsible for its publica- tion. Distribution of Update will include the 38 legislators 'who are members of the MLC Legislative Delegation, legislative leadership, Mayors and city council members from our 15 cities, the Capitol and suburban press, and individuals and organizations that deal with local government issues. If any reader has suggestions for changes or comments, please contact Jim Willis at 559-2800. /.�3 MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION rage Governor's Budget Reduction Plan Cuts Suburban Aid Governor Perpich announced his budget reduction recommendations on January 23. The Legislature, facing a $734 million revenue shortfall, must balance the budget before the 1986 Legislative Session adjourns. The Governor's recommended cuts will have a serious affect on local governments. In October, MLC President, Burnsville Mayor Connie Morrison, sent the Governor, legislative leadership 7 and members of the MLC Legislative Delegation a letter stating. that the MLC would be willing to share in balancing the State's budget, but that the cuts should be uniform and fair. The MLC policy was, and continues to be, that budget cuts should be across- the-board. Although the Governor announced that all budgets would be cut an uniform 3.5 percent (except for school aids, which is to be cut 2.5 percent), the fact is that 1986 local government aid previously committed to the 15 MLC suburbs will receive an 8.86 percent cut. In addition, MLC cities will receive a 9.76 percent reduction in the homestead credit payments. The reason these cuts are greater than 3.5 percent is because the Governor's recommendation of 3.5 percent is against the biennial appropriation. Since one year of the biennium has already passed, local government aid and home- stead credit cuts have to be doubled. However, a 7 percent cut • of 1986 local government aid pays amounts to $21 million, not the $25.2 million the Governor is recommending. The Governor's recommendation adds an additional $4..2 million to the local ,government aid cut. The rationale, which makes little sense, is that this additional amount equals a 3.5 percent cut of miscellaneous aids and credits such as the'native prairie credit, wetlands credit, agricultural preservation credit, etc. These aids and credits were not cut. The Governor's budget recommendation also cut the homestead credit $51.1 million when in fact a 3.5 percent reduction in the home- stead credit appropriation would equal $39.4 million. An addi- tional $11.7 million cut was added to the homestead credit. The Governor's budget explains that this $11.7 million represents a 3.5 percent cut in the renter credit and circuit breaker programs. Renters credit and the property tax refund (circuit breaker) program were not cut, but their share of the cut was added to the homestead credit program. QI MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION Governor's Budget Reduction Plan (continued) Page 3 The net result is that local units of government will be cut 2.6.3 percent more than the 7 percent they had expected. On a statewide average, instead of being cut,$60.4 million, local governments are being asked to absorb an additional $15.9 million cut which the MLC does not deem to be fair or equitable. The following chart shows.the effects of the Governor's recommenda- tions on MLC cities. 15 MLC SUBURBS Total- Coveuiunent Aid And Hcnestead Credit Reductions Under The Governor's revised Budget Proposal • Cuts would be made fon 1986 homestead credit amounts, however, the amrciunt certified is not yet available, therefore, 1985 homestead credit aid paynents are used is a' reasonable approximation.

Source: Senate Cc nsel and research 156 February 1986 MUNICIPAL Page 4 LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION, MLC Annual Legislative Dinner More than 90 individuals attended the Third Annual MLC Legislative Dinner -that was held.January '15 at the Decathlon Club in Bloomington. Twenty-two legislators that represent the MLC cities along with 5.4 MLC city officials were present at this event.The mayor, city manager and council members from the Cities of Inver; Grove Heights and Lakeville were guests. The evening provided an excellent opportunity for local elected officials to speak with their legislators. It also provided the Commission the occasion to formally present MLC's 1986 Legislative Resolutions which have been summarized in this issue of Update. The keynote speaker was House Speaker David Jennings, who outlined the upcoming legislative agenda, focusing his remarks on the budget shortfall that the State of Minnesota faces. He acknowledged MLC's concerns regarding the expected budget cuts and how these cuts could possibly affect their cities and local government aid. He also reassured the Commission that he was committed to arriving at an equitable solution..to the state's _financial problem., Following the event, the members of the Commission and the Legislative Delegation commented that they found the evening both enjoyable and informative and looked forward to scheduling similar events in the future. 14 A MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION MLC Board of Directors Adopts 1986 Legislative Resolutions The MLC Board of Directors adopted the following four legislative resolutions for the 1986 Session at their board meeting which was held on January 15: Local Government Aid Polic The MLC supports a continuation of the LGA formula enacted in 1985. It does not support changes to this formula during the 1986 Session. Budget Reduction Policy 4 Since the State of Minnesota is currently facing a budget deficit, the MLC believes that all recipients of state appropriations should share equally in any necessary budget cuts. However, the MLC will oppose any cutbacks which place an excessive amount of budget reductions on local units of government. 1987 Local Government Aid Appropriation Policy The MLC resolves that the 1987 Local Government Aid appropriation amount be increased by at least 68 more than the 1986 appropriation amount. And if reductions in 1986 Local Government Aid are necessary, any per- centage increase for 1987 should be computed on the restored 1986 base amount. 1986 Legislative Policy The MLC defines its 1986 legislative program, con- centrating their efforts on Local Government Aid, property tax relief programs such as homestead credit, budget reductions affecting cities, and other issues which may have fiscal impact on its membership._ 157 MUNICIPAL Page 16 LEGISLATM COMMISSION Inver Grove Heights Joins MLC The MLC is pleased to announce that Inver Grove Heights has become ,the most recent city to join the Commission_ Inver Grove Heights' decision to participate in the Commission has increased MLC membership to currently include 15 municipalities. Inver Grove Heights shares similar demographic characteristics. goals and objectives with the other MLC communities, and their membership will undoubtedly strengthen MLC's voice and impact on such legislation as to calgovernment aid, tax policy and other financial issues.

Miller acknowledged that his responsibilities during this one- year term will be demanding, especially during a time when the State of Minnesota is facing a budget shortfall. Miller called for the cooperation of government officials on every level to help resolve this difficult situation in a fair and equitable manner. Miller was first elected to serve on the League's Board of Directors in 1983, and was elected Vice President in June 1985. `?r Miller has been actively involved in the League for several years, serving on the League's Personnel Committee, Budget Committee and on the joint NAHRO-League Industrial Revenue Bond Task Force. Miller was one of the chief founders and driving forces behind the establishment of the Municipal Legislative Commission. He served as MLC's first Vice .Chair and held this position for two years. Presently, he is on the Commission's Local Government Finance Subcommittee and the Development Finance Subcommittee. Miller sees no conflict of interest regarding his involvement in both the MLC and the League of Minnesota Cities. He believes that these organizations compliment each other, and that their combined efforts increase their effectiveness and help both organizations achieve their goals. Miller is also active in other organizations. He is a board member of the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities and belongs to several national and international city managers' associations. Prior to his position as the City Manager of Minnetonka, Miller was the assistant city manager in Des Moines,Iowa and Janesville, Wisconsin for three years each. Miller holds two masters and a doctoral degree in public administration and taught public administration at Drake University. /5q MUNICIPAL Page 8 LEGISLATM COMMISSION MLC Regional Breakfast Meetings Scheduled in March The MLC Board of Directors unanimously decided to -schedule three MLC Regional Breakfast Meetings during the 1986 Legislative Session and invite the MLC Legislative Delegation to participate. It was the Board's belief that these breakfast meetings be held in lieu of the "Day at the Legislature" since it would provide city officials a better opportunity to meet with their legislators to discuss legislative priorities and issues of concern to their communities. In order to create an environment conductive to effective inter- action and discussion, the MLC cities have been divided into three smaller regions. Letters will be sent to legislators in the near future, inviting them to attend the breakfast meeting that corresponds to the region they represent. Please note the following MLC Regional Breakfast Meeting Schedules: EAST REGIONAL BREAKFAST MEETING Maplewood, Roseville, Shoreview, White Bear Lake, Woodbury Date and Time: Tuesday, March 4 - 7:45 a.m. Location: Shoreview Plaza Hotel (Hamline Room) 1000 Gramsie Road, Shoreview (One block north on Lexington, off of 694, one block east on Gramsie Road) Representatives: Bennett, Kostohryz, Price, Rose, Stanius, Valento and Voss.

ADJOURNMENT 0 ,'s MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: FEBRUARY 13, 1986 SUBJECT: AGENDA INFORMATION ADOPT AGENDA/APPROVE-MINUTES After approval is given to the February 18, 1986, agenda and regular City Council meeting minutes for the February 4 and special minutes for the January 14; January 23, and February 13 meetings, the fol- lowing items are in order for consideration: A. FIRE DEPARTMENT 1. Fire Chief Childers is requesting special consideration to refurbish the 1971 C-900 Ford pumper truck. This item was discussed during the development of the 1986 budget and as a result of City Council deliberations, was partially funded. The number of items listed by Custom Fire Apparatus in their proposal was quite lengthy and it was decided during budget preparation that additional infor- mation and clarification was needed if all the improvements to the pumper truck were to be further considered. The City Administrator and Fire Chief Childers have met and discussed, in detail, the proposal. A copy of a memorandum describing the equipment repairs and the original proposal from Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. are enclosed on pages_ through - for review. Fire Chief Childers will be present to answer qu s� tions and further discuss this item at the meeting on Tuesday. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS approval or modification fo the of the 1971 C-900 Ford pumper truck. ITEM: To approve or deny the proposal for the refurbishing MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILI-1EMBP:RS FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 1986 SUBJECT: REFURBISH 1971 C-900 FORD FIRE PUMPER A budget request was submitted by the Fire Department last fall in the amount of $39,000 to refurbish the 1971 C-900 Ford pumper. The original request included $25,500 for the pumper, $4,500 for the aerial and approximately $4,000 for grass rig #7. The remaining amount was budgeted for unscheduled repair. The Fire Department was able to complete the refurbishing of the aerial trunk during 1985 and is willing to reschedule to a later date the refurbishing of grass rig #7. Since the City Council budgeted $12,000 for the refurbishing of equipment, an additional $14,550 would be needed if this pumper truck is to be completely refurbished in 1986. The City Administrator has met with Fire Chief Childers and reviewed in detail the modifications and refurbishing for this piece of equipment. As you recall, Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc., has provided a specific description of modifications that would occur to the pumper truck. Attached is a copy of the description that was distributed as a part of the draft budget late last sum.-ner/early fall. Direction was given by the City Council to review in greater detail the general description and further determine whether all of the modifications as suggested by Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc., need to occur at this time. Iwill attempt to provide some additional information using the sub -categories outlined in the description by Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. CHASSIS CAB ® The description that was offered for the chassis cab is self-explanatory and there is no additional description offered by the Fire Chief and City Administrator. FIRE PUMP COMPARTMENT Apparently there is considerable rust building up' on the compartment and once the compartment is cleaned it will be easier to use and maintain. The Fire Department is experi- encing problems with gauges freezing which could be critical at a fire. The Department is ,attempting to make the pumper more compatible with large diameter hose and relay operations since the tanker truck is no longer used for fire suppression. CREW COMPARTMENT Again, rehabilitation is desired for the purpose of reducing future maintenance. Some rust is occurring and by cleaning 7— MEMO: MAYOR & COUNCIL FEBRUARY 14, 1986 PAGE TWO up this area of the equipment, rust will be prevented in the future, expanding the longevity of the equipment. Apparently, the crew cab is in direct violation of OSHA standards and by making the various modifications suggested in the letter of description, noise will be reduced and meet the OSHA standards. APPARATUS BODY MODIFICATIONS/REFINISHING The doors are starting to sag and the refinishing will reduce maintenance and allow the doors to work properly. According to Fire Chief Childers, there is a safety factor involved with this item. Apparently the present tank has been repaired numerous times and is still leaking water. By replacing the 500 gallon capacity water tank and adding a new 750 booster tank, the Fire Department will increase their storage capacity and be assured of storage once the pumper is called out to a fire. On page 4, the relocation of the galvanized pipe is designed to prevent freezing. Apparently, the Fire Department has had problems with this equipment freezing; again, a critical problem at the time of fire suppression needs. Another modification on page 4 relates to changes necessary to accom- modate the larger diameter hose. There are electrical prob- lems that have been experienced with this pumper truck; therefore, changes are desired as a part of the refurbishing. The Department is concerned that this truck may not meet ISO standards and, therefore, many of the modifications are needed for satisfaction of that requirement. In recent years, the Fire Department has spent approximately $5,000 for pump re- pairs and feel the pump should be in good shape after the few repairs that are identified on page 5 are completed. The 1971 C-900 Ford pumper is currently located at Station $3. The proposed refurbishing cost, assuming all the repairs are made, would amount to approximately $26,000-$26,500. The City has budgeted $12,000 in 1986 for these repairs. Fire Chief Childers has stated that if the repairs are made, the equipment should last the City approximately another ten (10) years. A new pumper truck designed to meet these specifications would cost the City approxi- mately $150,000 with delivery in excess of 12 months. At the time the budget was considered and adopted, the City Admin- istrator was directed to contact Fire Chief Childers for additional 3 MEMO: MAYOR & COUNCIL FEBRUARY 14, 1985 PAGE THREE a - information and explanation regarding the request to refurbish this piece of equipment. Due to Fire Chief• Childers' 10 -week training in Seattle, Washington, this matter was deferred for consideration until January. Fire Chief Childers is expected to be at the meeting on Tuesday to answer any questions and will be asking for consideration by the Council to amend the budget and allow the modifications and refurbishing to occur for the 1971 pumper truck. ® City Administratoll CC.

Fire Chief Childers is suggesting that .the City request an ISO inspection for purposes of lowering the insurance rating that is currently at 6.. The City has not received an ISO inspection for several years and it is the feeling of both the Fire Chief and City Administrator that due to excessive water main installa- tion, hydrants and storage capacity during the past several years, the addition of Fire Station #3 and additional fire suppression equipment that Eagan could, more then likely, qualify for a lower rating. The city of Bloomington has recently concluded an ISO inspection and their rating is now a 3. A change in the fire rating would have a favorable- impact on the insurance rates for commercial and industrial property located throughout the City. • ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To direct the City Administrator to seek an ISO inspection for the purpose of lowering commercial/industrial insurance rates throughout the community. B. POLICE DEPARTMENT There are no items to be discussed under Police Department at this time. C. PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT 1. Attached on pages through _/-- for your review and direction to the Parks and Recreation Commission is a memo outlining concerns related to the continued use of snowmobiles in the City of Eagan. Concerns raised by the Commission pertain directly to the snowmobiles in City parks. There is no official action required on this item, however, any direction to the Parks and Recreation Commission would be helpful. /D MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY FROM: KEN VRAA,.DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION DATE: JANUARY 24, 1986 RE: ADVISORY PAM & RECREATION COMMISSION SNOWMOBILE USE CONCERNS ISSUE The Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission is seeking direction from the City Council concerning continued use of snowmobiles within the City. BACKGROUND At the January meeting of the Advisory Commission, the Commission discussed problems that were being encountered with the use of snowmobiles in the City, and particularly, in City parks. In the course of discussion of the issue, the Commission identified several subfactors influencing their thinking regarding snowmobiling. 1) An apparent increase in the number of complaints and observable problems from previous years and an increasing number of conflicts in use between snowmobilers and vehicles - snowmobilers and pedestrians. I 2) The Eagan Snowmobile Club's declining interest in the continuation of the Highline Trail and Johnny Cake IRidge trails apparently because of increasing traffic on residential and collector streets, as well as the completion of I -35E. (Maynard Ohm has so indicated this.) 3) Lack of volunteer enforcement of the Eagan ordinance from the snowmobile • club and the inability of the police to patrol all areas. 4) Early snowfalls provided ideal snowmobiling conditions, thus increasing the amount of snowmobile traffic. 5) Increasing vehicle traffic on City streets causes additional conflict and liability. After reviewing the information available, the Commission determined that before it makes recommendations or takes any action concerning the use of snowmobiles within the City, and in particular City parks, they wish direction from the City Council and if members of the Council had received complaints or observed the same problems. It is suggested that if continuation of snowmobiles along the Highline and Johnny Cake Ridge Road, as well as residential streets, is of greater detriment than value, perhapa then snowmobiles should be discontinued. It was also suggested that the Commission hold an informational meeting to determine interest in continuation of snowmobiles in the City or if there is adverse reaction by the public to their continued use. The informational meeting/public hearing would then be able to help shape public policy regarding the continued use/disuse in the City if the Council felt such a need existed. FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION Provide the A.P.R.C. with direction regarding the issue of snowmobiles within the City. Respectfully Submitted On Behalf Of The Advisory Parks & Recreation Comm on, VIII � Recreation KV/js v Agenda Information Memo February 18, 1986, City Council Meeting Page Three 2. The Parks and Recreation Commission had planned to review the Parks Dedication Ordinance at their last regular meeting. Due to the number of agenda items and length of the meeting it was not possible to review the Parks D=_dication ordinance however, it is on their agenda for the March 6, 1986 meeting. The Director of Parks and Recreation would like any thoughts or direction the City Council might have regarding various suggestions that are discussed in the attached memorandum found on pages I5 through Ken has raised several issues in his report to the PAS and Recreation Commission and is suggesting that consideration be given to a change in the—current policy and. further that the City Code's chapter on subdivisions -be-,amended to adopt the park systems plan by reference. The park systems plan would include park land dedication requirements. There is no official action required on this item, however,direction to the Parks and Recreation Director and Commission is being requested. /3 ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 1986 BE: PARKS DEDICATION ORDINANCE REVIEW At the time of the annual review of the parks dedication requirements, the Advisory Commission requested staff to .prepare a report which would address several areas of concern expressed by the Commission. Subsequently, a memorandum was addressed to the Commission indicating that other communities were also reviewing their parks dedication ordinance for possible revision; that the directors from these communities were to meet, • discuss, and perhaps work together in a review process. The Directors of Parks & Recreation from the communities of Maple Grove, Plymouth, Eden Prairie, Lakeville and Eagan, as well the Economics Director from the City of Blaine, met for nearly a full day to critically evaluate each ordinance and the relationship it has with existing state law and judicial findings. It is not the intent of this memorandum to review all that was discussed at this meeting. It is important to note that from this observer's standpoint there can be no single ordinance which could be easily adopted by each community. Significant differences in each community, philosophical and the current status of their respective park systems, make such a document improbable to develop. However, this meeting did produce some significant discussion which should help this community to improve its parks dedication ordinance. MEETING OBSERVATIONS • It is this writer's opinion that Eagan's parks dedication ordinance, at least philosophically, is one of the strongest and fairest to developers. In comparison, it was noted that 1) Eagan is the only community that provides for partial parkland dedication credit for areas which are below the 100 year flood mark, 2) provides park dedication credit for areas which are part of utility easements. 3) The City's commercial/industrial park dedication requirement provides for credit where there are significant on-site provisions for parks and open space. It still appears that Eagan's parks dedication ordinance could, and indeed should be strengthened to better comply with State statutes. For example, the Eagan dedication ordinance should ,1) strengthen the relationship between the amount of dedication (land or cash) and the impact of the subdivision's platting and its relationship to parkland needs. 2) The existing land dedication provides for a constant percentage - 10% - regardless of density. This can be construed as "inequitable" and therefore, should be reviewed for modifications. It must be recognized that it is not the intent of the strengthening of this i ordinance to mean to increase parks dedication. Rather, strengthen means to better show the relationship between the platting review, the need for parks, its reasonableness in order to comply with the State statutes and thus, make it less susceptible to court challenge. STATE STATUTE Attached is the State statute which initially allowed for cities to develop and implement parks dedication ordinances. In providing for these regulations, it should be noted that there are several key words and phrases which are significantly important. The first of these is that "a reasonable portion of any proposed subdivision be dedicated." The second is that dedication, at least for cash, should be "based on the fair market value of the land no later than at the time of the final approval." Third, "a municipality reasonably determines that it will need to acquire that portion of land for the purposes stated." 1 In essence, these are the three—critical issues that a parks dedication ordinance should address. -- Perhaps one of the most significant court cases relating to parks dedication is Koolis vs. the City of Bloomington in which the State Supreme Court upheld Bloomington and that its 10% land dedication was a reasonable portion. Consequently, many communities have adopted the 10% standard. A word of caution in adopting this 10% standard. Municipalities still must be able to demonstrate that this is reasonable and that it will need to acquire this percentage and a particular parcel for parks purposes to satisfy the residents needs. Because of Eagan's Park Systems Plan which contains a significant amount of information regarding the demographics of the community (as well as projected future growth and development), individual park standards, ratios of facilities, a neighborhood park standard, the type/quality of property the City seeks to acquire for parks purposes and has defined parks service areas, as well as pencil locations for parks, the City is in an excellent position to support its case for parks dedication as reasonable. It would seem prudent, however to incorporate and/or at least identify the Park Systems Plan and its continuing updating as the basis for the City of Eagan's parks dedication ordinance. Further, because the City has established its standards for parks based on population, it would then seem appropriate to establish its land dedication (and cash) based on population - i.e. density of a development. A constant land dedication of 10% for single family as well as for multiple family development of high living unit density per acre is, in fact, inequitable and may be a case for unreasonableness. It would be prudent for the City to have a land dedication requirement that is based on a sliding scale which increases with unit density and has a basis, in fact, for providing parks in relationship to demand/impact. BASED UPON FAIR MARKET VALUE State statutes indicate that the municipality must base its dedication on "fair market value." A review of other cases indicates that it appears acceptable and reasonable for a municipality to establish market value collectively, rather than for a single parcel being considered for subdivision. It also appears acceptable to set the value at the time of the final subdivision plat rather than raw land value. In summation, it appears 215 • • that the City of Eagan's history of setting values for parks cash dedication that is based on recent land sales is an appropriate methodology. Therefore, staff would recommend that this procedure continue, but that the ordinance indicate the methodology used. DETERMINATION OF LAND TO Bi•DEDICATED OR FEES TO BE PAID Through the City's Comprehensive Park Systems Plan and its analysis of facility needs for residents, the City has generally determined that a standard of 15 acres of neighborhood and community parks and open space per population of 1,000 persons is an applicable and valid standard. Approximately twelve acres of this 15 acre amount shall constitute neighborhood parks and shall be the minimum standard established by the City. Therefore, the City shall require dedication, either land or cash, of sufficient amount which shall meet the standard for neighborhood parks. Dedication shall be based on density "of residents in the following residential unit types (1985 census date): 1 • Single family - 3.5 Duplex - 2.8 Townhouse & Quads - 2.1 Multiple - - 1.9 LAND DEDICATION In brief, the City should relate the parks dedication on a more equitable basis based on number of residents per type of unit, utilizing the City's standard for park acreage. Based on the number of persons per residential unit as previously described, land dedication shall be as follows: Alternate I 0-1.9 units per acre - 8% ® 2-3.5 units''p'er acre - 10% 3.6-6 units per acre - 12% 6-10 units per acre - 14% 10 + units per acre - Add .5% (Alternate II) This alternative would be a calculated dedication utilizing the type of unit times the number of residents for that unit. This would equal "demand for parks." This to be multipled by the parkland equivalent per individual .012 to determine the exact amount of land dedication. EXAMPLE: Developer X intends to develop 40 acres - twenty acres for single family and 20 acres for apartment. The single family development will have 3.5 units per acre and the apartment has 11 units an acre or 70 single family homes and 220 apartments. 70 units X 3.5 people = 245 people x .012 (standard area per person) = 2.94 acres ., I , . 220 units x 1.9 people = 418 people x .012 (standard area pi person) = 5.01 acres TOTAL: 7.95 ACRES Therefore, the dedication is .012 acre per person. CASH DEDICATION It shall be the City's intent to provide for, where land is not a requirement, a cash dedication fee. This cash dedication shall be based on composite value of properties within each of the zoning classifications. This value shall be determined annually by the City upon recommendation of the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission. The land value is to be divided by the number of units per acre to determine the cash fee which shall equal an equivalency of 12 acres per thousand population times the composite fee of properties of similar zoning values. This formula shall be as follows: RESIDENTS) UNITS PER HOUSING TYPE PER UNIT LAND VALUE 100 POPULATION Single family 3.5 $11,000 = 28 = Duplex 2.8 13,000 = 35 = Townhouse/Quads 2.1 15,000 = 47 = Multiple/Apts 1.9 17,000 = 52 = REQUIRED CASH EQ. (ACREAGE X LAND VALUE) $13,200 $15,600 $18,000 $20,400 ALTERNATE II: CASH (CASH EQ. UNITS) $1 = $471.00 single family 28 $15,600 = $445.00 duplex 35 $18,000 = $382.00 townhouse/quad. 47 $207400 = $392.00 apts. 52 Similar to the alternate being provided in the land dedication, this would be a cash equivalent per person. EXAMPLE: 20 single family homes x 3.5 people x .012 acres x $11,000 (values of property per acre) = .84 x $11,000 = $924.00 DISCUSSION Alternate II in the proposed land dedication holds constant the value of property to be dedicated with each plat. Based on 12 acres per thousand residents, this is the equivalent of .012 acres per person. Upholding this value constant for each individual, it is quite easy to calculate land dedication. One will only need to take the type of living unit being proposed times residents per unit times the .012 factor to determine the acreage to be dedicated. On the surface, this constant value of land per person seems most equitable. The fallacy with this formula, however is that it does not take into recognition that single family dwellings are likely to have more children �7 4 E Ll who are generally more consumptive of parks. Consequently, it would seem that constant value of parkland person is biased against the multiple (or for single family) by requiring the same amount of land for adults as for children from single family homes. Alternate I under "Land Dedication" takes into consideration, at least to some degree, that single family residents are generally more consumptive of parks than multiple family residents. Consequently, even though there is an escalating percentage of land dedication based on the units per acre, this percentage is still less than the straight .012 acres per person. The increasing land dedication percentage seems much more fair than the straight 10% land dedication regardless of units per acre. CASH DEDICATION The cash dedication calculation is ver. similar to that which is being used currently other than the fact that it h s been updated based on residents per • unit. For example, under the existing barks dedication policy, single family is currently allocated for residents per unit and consequently, 25 units per 100 population. This has now been changed to 3.5 residents per unit and 28 units per 100 population. The other value change has been that the City is using 12 acres per 1,000 population as its standard. Utilizing this new standard of 1.2 acres per 100 population times the land value of $11,000 per acre, the required cash equivalent is $13,200. This figure, when divided by the 28 units per 100 population, equals the cash equivalency of $471.00 per unit. The proposed cash dedication takes into consideration that land values escalate with each type of housing unit. Currently, multiple family units are paying their cash dedication based on land values for single family versus land values for multiple. Under the current plan, there may be inequities between similar developers where one is providing a land dedication from a multiple dwelling area versus a cash dedication. Obviously, the cash dedication is significantly less expensive for a developer to provide than the • land dedication, particularly since that cash dedication is now currently calculated on single family land values while the land dedication is obviously of higher value. It is improbable that an ordinance containing land and cash dedications is going to be completely equitable and without flaw. However, any recalculations, computations and variations should attempt to continue to be fair and equitable as is possible both to the City and developer as well as between developers. Under Alternate I for cash dedication, the table shows the result of escalating land values based on units per acre. You will note that in the multiple apartment dwellings using land values of $17,000 per acre, the cash equivalant would be $392.00. This would be an increase of $92.00 from the 1986 adjusted fee of $300.00. However, noting that the parks dedication requirement could provide credit for on-site amenities provided by apartment developers, this fee could be reduced for on-site amenities. Those developers that provide tennis courts, swimming pools or other amenities with their apartment units could be credited up to the 25% reduction in the cash dedication. This would reduce the $392.00 dedication to $294.00 per unit. Those apartment developers who fail to provide any amenities on-site, thereby probably increasing the demand for park usage by apartment dwellers beyond the norm, would be paying the full $392.00 per unit. Essentially this provides greater flexibility for the City by providing credit against a cash dedication and is closer to the value of the property upon which they are developing. 1` Industrial/commercial dedication requirements shall remain as is. It appears that this dedication requirement and verbage should be sufficient to cover any contingencies associated with this dedication. However, this portion of the ordinance should contain and provide for updating of the cost per acre by resolution. This would allow the City to continue as it has in the past, but would formally recognize the process. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS In reviewing what other communities have done with their parks dedication requirements, it is interesting to note that for example, Blaine has included the cost for development of park facilities as part of their park dedication fees and included it in their calculation. The cities of Eden Prairie and Plymouth are doing likewise. State tatutes do not address the cost for development of facilities, although it seems clear that the intent of the state statute was to not require existing properties to pay more as a result • of increased development. Therefore, a reasonable portion of development construction could be construed as being part of a parks dedication requirement. Most communities do not provide for credit for parkland within easements or if part of a flood plain. Eagan's ordinance provides for this. It is this writer's opinion that because the City has a significant number of ponding areas utilized for storm water basins and because the City requires these for storm ponding easements from the developer, it appears that where parkland is also taken, partial credit should be given. Again this is an issue for discussion and review, but to do otherwise as a double taking of property. Several communities have "a savings clause" within their ordinance. The savings clause is simply a requirement that where the City has indicated a future park and the developer provides required parkland dedication and the park space needed is greater that the developer is required to set aside, the • additional property be set aside for up to one year in order to allow the City to purchase this additional land. The savings clause establishes a procedure and price for the property and is typically tied to the City's current fair market valuation for single family zoned property. This writer would strongly recommend that such provision be included within the parks dedication or zoning ordinance.

Contract 85-3, Change Orderr #1, Slaters Acres (Streets & Utilities) --In response to requests received from various property owners during the construction of streets and utilities servicing the Slaters Acres subdivision, two changes were incor- porated in the plans resulting in additional cost identified as follows: PART A. In order to maintain maximum future development of the west of Storland Road (Jack owner requested the sanitary Acres to be constructed 4 feet (Add $6,900) PART B: flexibility for the potential unplatted property south and Hilla property), that property sewer extension from Slaters lower than originally proposed. Due to the excessive driveway slope to the existing houses located at the south end of James Court, these property owners requested a special driveway section to facilitate their ability to get a running start up their driveway in the winter time without incurring a bump at the curb and gutter section in front of their driveway.

During the construction of the utilities, it was necessary to initiate additional work in response to concerns expressed by adjacent property owners and at the request of the developer as follows: PART A: Due to the construction of the required landscaped berm along the west portion of this property adjacent to the Poppler Addition, it is necessary to construct a storm sewer catch -basin inlet to handle the drainage blocked by this berm construction. Upon completion, the location of the catch basin inlet was not satisfactory to Mr. Poppler and was subsequently relocated per his request.

HEAR•I•NGS PROJECT 460/NICOLS ROAD A. Public Hearing for Project 460, Nicols Road (Streets - Beau de Rue Drive to Kings ,Road), Continued from February 4, 1986, Meeting --At the February 4th meeting, the Council held a public hearing to consider the upgrading of Nicols Road from Beau de Rue Drive to Kings Road. As a result of comments received from that public hearing and the discovery of technical errors in the publication process, the Council continued the public hearing until February 18. All property owners that were not properly noticed of the. February 4th meeting have been noticed of this February 18 meeting. Due to the fact that all property owners • had an opportunity to attend the February 4 meeting where the project was discussed in considerable de''lail, the staff will not repeat the detailed presentation at the February 18 meeting unless requested to do so. Considerable comments expressed at the February 4 hearing related to the proposed four -lane design from Cliff Road to Diffley Road and the width and location of the proposed eight -foot bitumi- nous trail along the east side. As a result, the Council requested staff to investigate the feasibility and related cost savings associated with reducing the eight -foot bituminous trail to six feet and to reducing the four -lane, 52 -foot width to a 46 - foot width street for additional comments and consideration at the February 18 meeting. Enclosed on pages 3#+ is a schematic design showing how this reduced street width would accommodate a present two-lane design with safety/parking shoulders which could be incorporated into a four -lane segment at critical inter- sections through proper striping and parking restrictions. If it is determined that a full, four -lane section is needed in the future to handle traffic volumes, the intersection design striping could be extended through the entire length of the roadway. Although this substandard, four -lane section would not be able to handle projected future traffic volumes as effici- ently as a full, 52 -foot,, four -lane section, it would still be able to serve the primary function of handling greater capaci- ties than a two -,lane street and providing turn lanes without affecting through traffic movements. Reducing the street width to 46 feet would result in an estimated cost savings of approximately $600,000. In checking with several bituminous contractors, it was determined that reducing the trailway width from eight feet to six feet would not result in any cost savings due to the limitations on present, state-of- the-art paving equipment. while there would be a cost savings 37- Agenda Information February 18, 1986, Page Fifteen :demo City Council Fleeting of material, the smaller trail would be higher labor intensive due to special equipment that would be required which would eliminate any cost savings. If this project is to be constructed during 1986, it is important that this project be approved as soon as possible so that detailed plans and specifications can be completed and submitted to Munici- pal State Aid for review and approval (four to six weeks) before a contract can be awarded. The Public Works Director and Assistant City Engineer will be available to discuss any additional items pertaining to this project at the February 18 meeting. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM.

As a result of that final assess- ment hearing, a written objection was submitted by the attorney representing the Lillian McCarthy property on Lexington Avenue. Subsequently, the final adoption of the final assessments against the Lillian McCarthy property (parcel #10-02200-010-02) was continued several times to allow review by the Special Assessment • Committee which was performed on January 16, 1986_ Due to the fact that the appellant did not appear at the Special Assessment Committee meeting, the Council requested that formal notification be sent to Lillian McCarthy informing her that the Council will give formal consideration to this continued final assessment hearing at the February 18 meeting. Although the property incorporates 3.91 acres, only 1.5 acres were assessed at the agricultural/single family rate due to the "large lot" credit allocated to this parcel. All drainage from this property directly enters Patrick Eagan Park where the storm sewer system was installed.

Preliminary Plat Revision for Northview Meadows --At the last regular City Council meeting there was discussion regarding a preliminary plat revision for Northview Meadows. Questions were raised regarding the legal procedure for processing a preliminary plat revision. According to the City Attorney's office a waiver of plat or replat requires a public hearing before the Advisory Planning Commission. A revision to a preliminary plat requires a notification of the surro nu ding property owners but not a formal public hearing by the Planning Commission. Therefore, the preliminary plat revision of Northview Meadows as presented at the February 4, City Council meeting is in order for consideration,. For additional information on this item, refer to a memo prepared by the City Planner enclosed on page(s) - 6'0 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the preliminary plat revision for Northview Meadows as presented. W MEMO TO: THOMAS L HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: DALE C RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 1986 SUBJECT: UPDATE ON REVISION TO THE NORTHVIEW MEADOWS PLAT Since the February 3, 1986, City Council meeting, City staff has legally noticed this particular agenda item and has also sent notice to surrounding residents informing them the applicant is proposing to revise this plat and to create three (3) lots versus the five (5) that were originally proposed. Adequate' notice had not been given previously for this procedure to take place. In reviewing this revised plat.,- there were two processes the City could have .used to resolve this issue. The first was to request a • waiver of plat where legal descriptions would have been changed to correspond with these new lot lines. However, the legal descrip- tions were quite lengthy and would be cumbersome to follow in the future for tracking particular parcels. Staff suggested to the applicant to revise the plat so a new document would be recorded showing the new lot configurations with the easements in place. This is the best solution because the document is recorded listing the legal description. The problem with the revised document is that technically it should have taken approximately four months to replat. To expedite closings and to get the best document possible for the City, it was discussed among staff as a way to expedite this process and to resolve a problem that presently exists. In review of this total process, the only item that would be affected in the City is the side lot easements, and the public hearing has been advertised to vacate and relocate in accordance with this new plan. It was discussed administratively • that the City could expedite this process and help the developer meet his time frame for the scheduled closings on the lots where there are buildings located. I am in the process of working with the Building Department to determine how building permits have been -issued on the existing lots. At the present time, the building officials are sceheduled for a two-day conference but, hopefully, this information can be obtained and explained to the Council with a memorandum or verbally at the February 18 meeting. If you need additional information, please feel free to contact me at this office. M Cti " planner DCR/jj T� MEMO TO: THOMAS L HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: DALE C RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER <_ - DATE: FEBRUARY 30, 1986 SUBJECT: REVISION TO THE NORTHVIEW MEADOWS FINAL PLAT Northview Meadows was one of the first small lot subdivisions ._. platted within the City. The five lots, which the applicant is requsting to revise into three, have some different circumstances. Concerning lot 1, located on the corner of South Wescott Hills Drive and Braddock-Trail,,the builder did not take into account that South Wescott Hills Drive would require a larger setback than from a normal residential street. Therefore, the " first building encroachedinto a portion of another lot to the east of lot 1. Lots 4 and 5 are presently the location of the old existing Trapp Farm Homestead. When looking at renovating or. selling the home as is, it was found to be impossible to add a garage on the same lot as the existing house. There would have to be additional. easements or a portion of the lot to the west would have to be obtained in order to get a driveway around the west side of the house and still stay within the lot. Since there are three existing homes and closings are set for two of the properties, staff is suggesting that a revision to the plat be allowed in this instance because we are reducing five lots into three with there being no room for an additional home on these three lots. In reviewing the requirements of the City, it has been determined that the only item needed would be to vacate the public easements on the original lot lines creating new easements for..these new lots. The public hearing has been scheduled for February 4, 1986 to • vacate these easements but the City does not wish to vacate unless the Council approves the revision to the final plat and establishes the new easements in accordance with this -revision. The Development Contract, along with ..all other items for platting, was completed with the original Northview Meadows final plat. The circumstances are. unique -but.. because the the changes are minor, it appears •-that this process would be feasible to expedite the process and eliminate the extensive paperwork required if we could not modify the plat in this manner.

ERKKILA & ASSOCIATES MERGER WITH WESTWOOD PLANNING & ENGINEERING COMPANY - Originally (since 1981) and for several years following, Eagan utilized my services through my company known as Erkkila & Associates. On January 1, 1985, two weeks after issuing my 1985 rate schedule to you I merged with Westwood Planning and Engineering Company. Through all of 1985, Westwood Planning & Engineering Company honored the Erkkila & Associates work arrangement. Essentially, the 11new11 arrangement will be the same as last year except the fee arrangement changed slightly. 1. The merger involved the professional personnel of Erkkila & Associates joining Westwood. My previous personnel (Gordon Anderson and Anne Deuring) plus two planners of the Westwood's staff came under my direction. In summary, Eagan had no change of service (myself and my • old staff) plus additional staff in the area of planning and engineering. This merger strengthened the park planning and design services available to the City of Eagan. 2. CHANGE RATES - As identified in my letter proposal of January 9, 1986 there is a change in hourly rates. Gordon.Anderson and Anne Deuring (original Erkkila & Associates peronnel) charge rates go to $28.50 per hour from $25.00 per hour. My charge rate becomes $54.00 per hour. These increases are certainly comparable or better than consulting fee's the City has with it's other outside personnel and I would welcome a comparison if necessary. I am a registered Landscape Archi- tect with 15 years of experience. Anne Deuring is a registered Land- scape Architect with 7 years of experience, Gordon Anderson is a graduated Landscape Architect with 9 years of experience. The increase was overdue and intentially not instituted on January 1, 1985 to ease the perceived transition from the entity of Erkkila & Associates to Westwood Planning & Engineering Company. I remain the primary project manager for Eagan Parks work and utilize my experi- enced personnel (Anne and Gordon) on your work. The larger increase in my charge rate is not exptected to effect your overall costs sig- nificantly since 90 percent of your work is done by personnel at the lower rate. 7415 WAYZATA BOULEVARD. MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 5U26 (612) 5460155 �.Z 3. GENERAL - I believe my historic insight in the development of the present park system in Eagan gives me a particularly useful position since no other firm can. This "edge" is not utilized in our pricing of services to you. We have carefully attempted to price our services within or below prevailing rates (we are using a 1984 rate table) because we wish to continue to serve the City of Eagan. Our proposal is intended to serve the city well by,providing needed services by experience personnel at the best possible cost. I hope this letter clarifies our fee's proposal of 1986. Westwood Planning b Engineering Company is very interested in serving Eagan, through all it's resources, but specifically through myself and my staff. The name change to Westwood has done nothing to diminish the quality of services provided to Eagan. I will be willing to attend a council meeting if necessary to entertain any further question_ - Sincerely, WESTWOOD PLANNING S ENGINEERING COMPANY d;W&d1a Tim Erkkila, ASIA Vice President, Planning TE: pan cc: Ken Vraa S3 LIN Agenda Information Memo February 18, 1985, City Council .Meeting Page Twenty -Two GUN CLUB LAKE WATERSHED APPOINTMENTS C.

Appointments to the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Commis- sion --At the last regular City Council meeting, staff was directed to prepare additional information regarding the responsibilities of Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Commission members. The City of Eagan is responsible for the appointment of three members to that watershed management group. It is recommended that the Director of Public Works be one of those appointments. According to recent state legislation, each community within the metropolitan area was required to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement establishing a Watershed Management Organization (WMO). This Joint Powers Agreement provided for the establishment of a Commission to manage the affairs of this WMO. The makeup of this Commission is to consist of three representatives from the City of Eagan and two representatives each from Mendota Heights and Inver Grove Heights. This seven -member Commission would serve in its capacity through the establishment and adoption of the WMO's management plan after which Mendota Heights and Inver Grove Heights would withdraw one member each, leaving a five -member Commission to manage the ongoing affairs of the WMO. The purpose of this WMO is to provide an organization to preserve and use the natural water storage and retention of the Gun Club Lake Watershed to: a. Reduce to the greatest practical extent capital expenditures necessary to control excessive volumes and rates of runoff. b. Improve water quality. c. Prevent flooding and erosion from surface flows. d. Promote ground water recharge. e. Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities. •f. Secure the other benefits associated with the proper manage- ment of surface water. g. Carry out- all 'the duties and responsibilities outlined in Minnesota Statutes 473.875 through 473.883. Other than the Director of Public Works, the staff does not have any other recommendations .for representatives to this Commis- sion. It is anticipated that the Commission will meet monthly until the WMO's operational and management plan has been completed and, thereafter, 2-3 times a year for organizational business -(i.e. budget, capital improvement, permit issuance, etc.) 6 Agenda Information Memo February 4, 1986, City Council Meeting Page Twenty-five The Director of Public Works will be available to discuss in further detail the purpose and responsibilities of the WMO to help the Council arrive at proper representative appointments.

VILLAGE BUILDERS - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - PYLON SIGN Chairman Hall then convened the public hearing upon the application of Village Builders for a pylon sign located west of Highway 413 and south of Shawnee Road, for AL1 -American Self Storage. City Planner Runkle described the proposed two-sided interior lighted sign which would measure 8 feet by 9 feet with an overall height not to exceed 27 feet. It appeared that there were no adjacent lots that were as yet undeveloped that would be affected by the placement of a sign, as far as their own signage. Harrison moved, Wold seconded the motion to recommend approval of the conditional use permit for a pylon sign for AL1 -American Self Storage, west of Highway #13 and south of Shawnee Road, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the one-time sign fee of $2.50 per square foot be paid. 2. That all other applicable ordinances be complied with. 3. That the sign not deviate from the specifications presented to staff. All voted in favor. NORTHWESTERN BELL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS TELEPHONE UTILITY BUILDINGS Chairman Hall then called the hearing upon the request of Northwestern Bell for two conditional use permits for two separate telephone equipment buildings, one located at the southeast corner of Robin Lane and Blackhawk Road and the other at the northwest corner of the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church property fronting on County Road 30. Dale Runkle described the structures as being identical to existing structures in the City of Eagan, consisting of brick with gabled roofs and access drives with 'T' turn arounds. Mr. Bob Docken, the realtor representing Northwestern Bell and in charge of locating the site described, was present to describe the proposals in greater detail. He indicated that he had talked to neighboring homeowners that did not object to the facilities. Mr. Robert Saleck of 3741 Blackhawk Road did appear to object to the application. His home is located north of Robin Lane and north of the house across Robin Lane and directly north of the proposed site. It was pointed out that there had been a lack of landscaping on previous such facilities. Harrison moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to 'recommend approval of the conditional use permits, subject to a landscape plan approved by staff and all other applicable ordinances. All voted in favor.

It is the City's intention to close on the Blue Cross parkland and develop Blue Cross Park during 1986. Members of the City Council feel it is in the best interest of Eagan to work together on siting a building in Blue Cross Park. It is my understanding that Northwestern Bell has given considera- tion to the abandonment of that location. However, as stated, we hope you will continue reviewing alternatives which include further discussion with our Director of Parks and Recreation, Mr. Ken Vraa, of the Blue Cross Park site. • The City Council also included in the aforementioned motion the suggestion of a policy that Northwestern Bell contact the City Planning Department in the future before real estate negotiations commence regarding the siting of another switching station. It is important to the City Council that the staff be involved in the planning process regarding any future site --selections which could . eliminate neighborhood controversy and enhance site sensitivity. Please coordinate these efforts with Mr. Dale Runkle, our City Planner.

Preliminary Plat for 90 Single -Family Lots on 40 Acres and a Rezoning from A (Agricultural) to PD (Planned Development) -- The City Council reviewed rezoning and preliminary plat applications for the Greensboro project as submitted by Dave Gabbert at the February 4, 1986 meeting. Direction was given to the developer toeliminatethe cul-de-sac by causing that street to become a through street and further that all lots be increased in size to meet the 12,000 square foot minimums. For a copy of the revised preliminary plat and comments by the City Planning Department refer to .pages��3 through For a copy of the information that w s submitted with the last City Council packet refer to pages 177 through 189 of the February 4 Agenda Information Memo. A question was raised at the last City Council meeting regarding suitable zoning if all lots were to be 12,000 square feet. Whether R-1 or Planned Development zoning is allowed for this development the R-1 standards, as set forth in the zoning Ordinance, can be enforced,. Since the application for rezoning was from an A to PD, the Development Agreement would state that all development criteria must meet R -1 -requirements as set forth in the City Zoning Ordinance. A change to the R-1 zoning would require a new public hearing before the Planning Commission during March, delaying any further consideration on the preliminary plat until the first meeting in April. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: 1) To approve or deny rezoning from A to PD with the requirement in the Development ® Agreement that all R-1 standards be met according to the Zoning, - Ordinance. 2) To approve or deny the preliminary plat entitled Greensboro Addition. 7�_ MEMO TO: THOMAS L HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: DALE C RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 1986 SUBJECT: GREENSBORO REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT It is our understanding at the February 4, 1986,.City Council meeting that the plat is still going to proceed under the Planned Development zoning designation. However, all lots still must meet the 12,000 sq. ft. criteria. Therefore, a Planned Development Agreement will also be required for this development. The applicant has resubmitted the site plan showing the northern cul-de-sac removed, 60 ft. right-of-ways and lots which were to meet 12,000 sq. ft. In a quick review, staff has found one lot which does •not meet the 12,000 sq. ft. criteria. While in this review, it should be pointed out that all lots shall meet 85 ft. lot width at the 30 ft. setback and a minimum of 12,000 sq. ft. In review of this plan, it appears there is adequate room to shift lot lines and allow the one lot to increase square footage up to the 12,000 sq. ft. The attached exhibit was received late and is not as clear as what we would like to present to the City Council. Staff will work with the exhibit on an overhead Tuesday which will make the exhibit more legible for the presentation. The conditions still shall apply which were in the staff report for the original plat.

Review of On -Sale Liquor License Policy --At the last regular City Council meeting there were questions raised about current regulatory language in the City Code that requires all on -sale liquor licenses to meet a $200,000 valuation test. The City staff was directed to review various options for the City Council to consider to better regulate the issuance of on -sale liquor licenses. The City staff has reviewed valuation, seating capacity, food/ liquor ratio, geographic locations and the concept of reserving • certain licenses. 'These alternatives are discussed in a memo prepared by Administrat've Assistant Witt and is enclosed on pages through There are .so many choices for the C tC t ncil to consider regarding the regulation of on -sale liquor licenses. Once a general discussion and further direction is given, the City staff will be able to firm up a policy for consideration. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To review changes to the on -sale liquor license policy and direct the City staff to draft specific language for policy change. rvL] MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES FROM: ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT WITT DATE: FEBRUARY 13, 1986 SUBJECT: ON -SALE LIQUOR By State statute, the City of Eagan is allowed 18 on -sale liquor licenses until the population reaches 45,000. For each 2,-500 increase thereafter, another license may be issued. There are currently nine active licenses in Eagan and their locations are shown on the map. The first license was issued in 1973, two in 1974, one each in 1976 and 1979, three in 1982 and one in 1983. A survey of metro area communities was undertaken and the results are shown on the chart. Staff learned that several variables could be involved in the issuing of licenses. Various options to regulate issuance of licenses include: 1. Valuation: If valuation is used, the term must be defined as to what is and what is not included. Eagan requires an appraised value of $200,000 as to the building or portion of building associated with liquor sales. Staff has assumed that this refers to the County Assessor's figure of estimated market value and does not include land or any items such as fixtures or equipment not included by the Assessor. Burnsville requires a $1,000,000 valuation which includes fees, site development, construction costs, utilities, furnishings and fixtures, but not land. The County Assessor's values for free standing structures and a facility in a strip shopping center differ. The major • factor in a strip center is the square footage of the building and land. The type of use is not included in calcu- lations because it changes constantly. The assessor does make adjustments based on vacancy rates in a center. Right now the Cedar -Cliff occupancy rate is high and its building/land value is higher than for the Flour Bin across the street. The assessor said the City would have to break out building/land costs for a particular center occupant through whatever methods they choose; the County only asses- ses as a whole. At least ,some of the current holders of Eagan on -sale liquor licenses do not meet valuation requirements but I believe were grandfathered in when the Ordinance was adopted, or the valuation was not considered when the license was issued. The Valley Lounge, Richard's Food and Liquor and the Mediterranean Cruise have payable 1985 valuations of $105.,500, $98,600 and $147,400, respectively, including both land and building. The Cedarvale Bowl and the Eagandale Club probably do -not meet the valuation test either when it is applied against the portion of the building relating to food and liquor. 9� 2. Seating Capacity - Square Footage: Most communities set a larger minimum seating capacity than Eagan. The higher number tends to increase the valuation and decrease the possibility of a "night club" facility. Although without a food percentage requirement being enforced, size/seating capacity may just produce larger facilities selling primarily liquor. 3. Food -Liquor Ratio: This option also serves to promote restaurant and decrease "night clubs" by requiring a greater percentage of the business be with the food operation. Brooklyn Center directly ties the license fee to the food percentage and found this to be an effective means to discourage "night clubs" and bars. An auditor's services would be required to validate the food -liquor .ratio. Eagan has not conducted any reviews of any establishment that I am aware of, instead relying on good faith, voluntary compli- ance. 4. Location: Whether to allow or disallow an liquor establishment in a strip center has not been an issue in most cities. If the applicant meets the Code requirements, he can locate in any area zoned to allow such an establishment. In Eagan, on -sale licenses can be a conditional use in the following zones: Limited Business - LB Neighborhood. Business - NB General Business - GB Community Shopping Center - CSC Regional Shopping Center - RSC Roadside Business - RB (is &,.permitted use) Limited Industrial and General Industrial allow beer and wine only. Given that information,- it may be appropriate to limit licenses issued to smaller or lower valuation establishments geographically so as to dispense a pre -determined number throughout the community. This approach would be similar to the current status of off -sale licenses. Without that restriction, there is a staff concern about small strip shopping centers having two or three licenses. For example, both Slicers and Hong Wong in Cedar -Cliff. 5. Reserved Licenses: Most communities have many inactive licenses and do not feel the need to reserve licenses. Eagan may want to divide up the current maximum number available. to different types or different valuation levels thereby reserving a number of licenses for various types of establishments. The City Code currently incorporates four of these five possi- bilities into issuance of on -sale licenses excluding only geographic locations. The current combination of relatively low seating capacity and license fee make liquor sales an economic S71-5 possibility for a large number of businesses. The valuation restrictions and food ratios while easy to define in a schedule are very difficult to monitor and enforce. Any new schedule based on valuation should incorporate existing licenses and not just grandfather them which would generate a rather large number in the lower valuation group and necessitate some review of licenses such as Cedarvale Bowl.

Preliminary Plat Consisting of Approximately 9.5 Acres and Containing 144 Apartment Units Entitled Stuart's First Addition -- A public hearing was held before, the Advisory Planning Commission at their January 2'8., 1986 meeting, to consider a preliminary plat application submitted by Stuart Nolan for a 9.5 acre,, 144 apartment unit project. This project is, to be located in Outlots A and B, Tomark 2nd Addition. The Advisory Planning. Commission is recom- mending approval of the preliminary plat subject to the conditions in the staff report and with a modification to condition #11 that allows for the prepayment of -special assessments. The prepayment • of special assessments will not be—required as long as it was a one -owner project vs. a condominium split between a number of owners. Prior to being condominiums or selling this assessment would be paid, is the language desired by the Commission. For additional information on this item refer to the Planning and Engineering Department report found on pages q0through The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission is recommending that 1) A cash dedication requirement be satisfied and 2) That a bituminous trailway be allowed on Lexington Avenue.

ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the preliminary plat for Stuart's First Addition as presented. 1] in CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT - APPLICANT: STUART'S FIRST ADD (Stuart Nolan) LOCATION: TOMARK 2ND ADD, NW'%, SECTION 14 EXISTING ZONING: R-4 (MULTIPLE) = DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 28, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 15, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING • APPLICATION: An application has been submitted for preliminary plat approval for the Stuart's First Addition. The plat consists of 144 apartment units on 9.5 acres (2 outlots), east of Lexington AV & west of Carriage Hills Golf Course, ZONING & LAND USE: The site is zoned R-4 multiple and is surround- ed by the same zoning on all sides except for an agricultural lot along the SW property line. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designated this area as R -III, density 6 - 12 units per acre. Golfview Rd will be continued to the west and meet Lexington AV directly across from Town Centre 100 Rd. The applicant has an option on the- land north of this road extension. This area contains a ponding area and is quite low in relation to the existing Lexington AV, which is scheduled for improvements in 1988. The subject area is rolling grassland and has little or no mature ,,:vegetation. , SITE PLANNING: There are two (2) buildings proposed, each contain - in _g ontain-ing 72 units and underground parking. One additional 10' parking . stal-l.has been provided outside thus meeting Code requirements _ in terms of size and numbers. These buildings will be connected ` by a covered walkway to a centrally located recreation building.'' This building will contain .a sauna,- whirlpool, spa, excercise room and possibly an indoor pool. A tot lot will be provided ,.near the recreation building. O'Leary Park, acrossLexington AV, will contain tennis courts when the parks development takes place. . -A secondary loop service drive will connect the parking 'areas -and provide emergency access to the recreation building area. This .drive will have knock -down bollards at the parking lot point.. The buildings and parking areas meet or exceed all City setback and coverage requirements. 1 V STUART'S FIRST ADD PAGE 2 JANUARY 28, 1986 COMMENTS: The tentative project name will be%Carriage Crossings'. These apartments will be made of 100% brick with redwood gables. This style should be quite compatible to the surrounding area. The apartments will be marketed as a higher income rental project. Extra amenities include: fireplaces in some units, larger more usable balconies and easy access laundry facilities in addition to the enclosed recreation building features. The interior con- struction will include staggard stud walls and gyperete to help eliminate typical apartment noise as much as possible. Tentative rent prices will be approx. $575, $675 and $775 for 1, 2 and .3 bedroom units respectively. GRADING/DRAINAGE: The grading plan that the applicant submitted is feasibleand within City Codes. Although the grading operations will disturb almost the entire site, there is no substantial vegetation or trees that the grading will affect. Staff recommends • the applicant review his grading plan in the area between the tot lot and rec building to provide better positive drainage to the north. As it is now, water will stand in this area. Also, the grading done on this development shall not adversly impact the existing from the County's culvert under Lexington Av and the private culvert under an existing dirt road at the SW corner of this proposed development. The County will probably replace the existing culvert with the upgrading of Lexington Av in 1988. The grading plan, as proposed, shows filling of . up to 8' over existing sanitary sewer line along the easterly portion of .this proposed development. The existing cover is about 10' presently, making the total proposed fill over the pipe about 18'. While this depth approaches the maximum fill height over the PVC sanitary sewer pipe, staff does not feel this should pose any problems because the depth is still within the allowable limits for backfilling over PVC pipe. Prior to the gradingoperations and until the completion 'U f the • restoration over this site, this development shall install adequate '•erosion control measures to prevent the depositing of sediment within existing City storm sewer lines in Golfview Dr or within r,,the existing low area in the SE corner of this proposed development.'. This development is located within drainage 'district "D -The existing and future runoff will be toward the north and eventually into pond DP -10. Project 443 (O'Neil pond) will provide the gravity outlet from pond DP -10 downstream through DP -5 and DP -4. ` The downstream system from DP -4 is currently in place all the way to the Minnesota River Valley. As a result, this development ` will not require any trunk storm sewer construction to accommodate. its runoff. - or' y C � STUART'S FIRST ADD PAGE 3 JANUARY 28, 1986 UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size, capacity and depth are in place adjacent to this property to provide service to it. The sanitary sewer may be extended from the end of the existing Golfview Dr westerly within Golfview Dr. The applicant can also extend the existing 8" water main within Golfview Dr westerly and connect into the existing 18" water main on the west side - of Lexington AV to complete the watermain loop within this area. At the writing of this report, it is the developer's intention to proceed with the installation of public utilities and streets under a private contract. The developer must submit plans and specs prepared in accordance with City standards for review and approval prior to final plat approval. i STREETS: Lexington AV (Co. Rd. 43) abuts this development along the west and Golf view Dr is stubbed to the NEcorner of this proposed development. Dakota County Hwy Dept maintains jurisdiction over Lexington AV, which is presently a two lane rural section roadway. Dakota County proposes on improving Lexington AV to a 52' wide minor arterial collector street in 1988. Golfview Dr is an existing residential City street. This development proposes to extend Golfview Dr westerly to Lexing- ton Av. This intersection will be directly across from Town Centre 100 Dr. TRAILWAYS: Because of the designation of Lexington AV as a minor arterial roadway, City policy will require a trailway along ,both sides of Lexington Av. The trailway portion adjacent the westerly border of this property will be the responsibility of this develop- ment. . Because the actual installation of this trailway will not be until 1988, staff recommends this development prepay for the trailway installation as referenced under the assessment paragraph. PERMITS: This development will be -responsible for obtaining the following permits prior to final plat approval: 1) MPC sewer extension permit 2) Mn Dept -of Health water main extension permit 3) Dakota County Hwy .access .and work within County right-of-way permit RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS: Staff recommends this development dedicate the full 60' right-of-way for the Golfview Dr extension on the final plat. The previously platted Tomark Add provided for a 55' half right-of- way for Lexington Av. This width should be sufficient for the . -.upgrading of Lexington AV to 52' in the future. However, because . v STUART'S FIRST ADD PAGE 4 JANUARY 28, 1986 of the potential grading required to rebuild Lexington AV, staff recommends this development provide a 20' slope easement adjacent the westerly boundary of this proposed development. Staff will require increasing the easement over the existing sanitary sewer to 30' centered over the sewer line because of the additional fill proposed by this development. Because the easterly parking lot for building #2 will be encroaching the sanitary sewer easement, staff recommends that the applicant enter into an agreeement with the City whereby the applicant will agree to pay for any parking lot and trailway restoration necessary if the City has to repair the sanitary sewer line in the future. ASSESSMENTS: The City assessment records indicate that for outlots A & B of the Tomark 2nd Add, all trunk area related assessments for water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer are either levied or pending with the exception of lateral benefit from trunk water main. This development will be responsible for the lateral benefit from trunk water main as illustrated in figure #2 along its westerly boundary at the rate in effect of final platting. In addition, staff recommends this development prepay its multi -family rate for Lexington AV future improvements along with the future trailway improvements. The following table summarizes the assessment responsibilities for this development.

STUART'S S AD T - P LIMINARY PLAT • Chairperson McCrea then convened the public hearing for 144 apartment units on approximately 9.5 acres, Outlots A and B, Tomark 2na Addition, in part of the northwest quarter of Section 14, south of Yankee Doodle Road and east of Lexington Avenue. Dale Runkle described the proposal as the completion of two of the toutlots remaining in Tomark 2na Addition. Mr. Stuart Nolan was present an subm' ea a written and oral request that he not be required to prepay assessor for racing of Lexington Avenue and the trail system, as the projec wo a mpass one owner, rather than the multiple owners as in a conn mi ium a ion. He then described the development as an up -scale apar m roje ith brick exterior, oak woodwork comparable or better than t oocs Apartments on Shepard Road. Several - condominium owners from Ca ri ills Condominiums appeared objecting on the -. basis that they were having ifficulty with the developer of their complex in gaining control of the Condominium Association. Apparently, the District Court had recently ruled against them in regard to control of their .:association based upon the developer's ability to bring the three additional outlots into the aevelopmenar that Mr. Nolan was the owner or owned the option to th three remainin lots and thus, the condominium owners were advised to pursue ERU ma aM er with their own legal counsel. - Mulrooney moved, Bohne seconded th moIrntal n to recommend approval of the .preliminary plat, subject to the fo 10 ing aitions. 1.

Memo City Council Meeting PRELIMINARY PLAT AND REZONING/UNITED METHODIST CHURCH C. Preliminary Plat Consisting of Approximately 5 Acres and Containing One Lot and a Rezoning from PD to PF for Advent United Methodist Church --A public hearing was held before the Advisory Planning Commission at their January 28, 1986 meeting to consider two (2) applications that were submitted by Advent Methodist Church consisting of a rezoning from Planned Development to Public Facilities and preliminary plat. The APC is recommending approval of the preliminary plat and rezoning subject to the staff report noting- that trees be planted on the north and south property lines ® and along Lexington Avenue. For additional information on this item refer to the Planning and Enginee ing report, a copy is enclosed on pages /D / through /OFor a copy of the Parks and Recreation recommendation refer to page /O 9 For a copy of the action that was taken by the APC refe to those minutes found on page (s)//,Q4/// . ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: 1) To approve or deny the rezoning from PD to PF. 2) To approve or deny the preliminary plat for Advent United Methodist Church. • CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICANT: ADVENT METHODIST CHURCH LOCATION: EXISTING ZONING: NE4, SECTION 22 R-2 & AGRICULTURAL DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 28, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 17, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING • APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted by Advent Methodist Church requesting a rezoning of R-2 and agricultur- al districts to a single public facilities district south of the Westbury Addition along Lexington Av. ZONING & LAND USE: This site abuts the Westbury Addition to the north and west, an agricultural parcel of approx. 5 acres and Patrick Eagan Park, to the south. The Lexington Square develop- ment is across Lexington Av. The Comprehensive Guide Plan design- ates this area as R-1, single family, 0 - 3 units per acre. The topography is quite flat with the highest areas being at the 890 elevation and the lowest at 884. Off site to the south and west the land drops off rather quickly towards the park. The vegetation consists primarily of scrub grasses over a sandy loam soil. • CODE COMPLIANCE: , The proposed church building and parking area will be constructed in a phased approach. The first phase will consist of the main worship area (7,500 S.F.) and parking for 92 cars at 10' spacing. City Code requires 1 space for each 3.5 seats based on capacity design. 300 seats will be provided thus requiring 85 spaces. The northern one-half of the parking lot will be constructed with the initial development and the remaining area will be graveled for overflow parking. The building setback along Lexington AV is 70' and the parking setback is 30', both within .the code requirements of 50' and 20' respectively. .-Ample' areas to the north and west have been alloted for _future expansion. There will be no problem accomodating setbacks and lot -coverage standards. COMMENTS: Access to the church will be from a single 24' drive from Lexington Av. The site distance appears good at this location. A 12' wide -drop off area is provided on the northern most area of this entry drive. A canopy will cover this area in a later phase of development. /O / a ADVENT METHODIST CHURCH REZONING & PREL PLAT JANUARY 28, 1986 PAGE 2 The building will be a single story and consist of either cedar or redwood. A wood frame struction will most likely be the con- struction style, however, the architect wishes to use some brick if the funds become available. Asphalt shingles will also be used. At this point, no steeple is foreseen and the height will not appear out of scale with the surrounding areas. Staff has not seen building elevations as of yet. A preliminary landscape plan has been provided and it illustrates screening of the parking area from Lexington AV through the use of plant material and an earth berm. TOPOGRAPHY/DRAINAGE: This development is located west of Lexington AV and south and east of—the Westbury Additions. The existing topography is relatively flat farmland draining in a westerly • direction. This proposed development is located within drainage district "J", as depicted in Figure ;1. Drainage from this proposed development is to be directed into trunk storm sewer which eventual- ly outlets into pond JP -9 (McCarthy Lake). There are two alternatives available for the parking lot drainage. First, the parking lot could drain to the east towards Lexington AV where storm water would be collected in catch basins constructed by this development and outlets into the ditch along Lexington Av. This would require County approval. The second alternative would be to drain the parking lot to the west in its natural drainage pattern through Patrick Eagan Park to pond JP -9. This would require the approval of the Eagan Park Commission. UTILITIES: An 18" trunk watermain was installed under project 395-I and is located 20' west of the centerline of Lexington AV, which will sufficiently service this project. As part of the Westbury Addition, an 8" sanitary sewer lateral was constructed and a manhole placed at the north property line of this proposed development to adequately service this site. It would be the responsibility of this development to extend the saidsanitarylateral from its north property line to its south property line for future service to parcel 010-02, located directly south. STREETS/TRAILWAYS: Lexington AV borders this proposed development on the east. This road is a County road and is presently planned to be upgraded from a two lane rural section to a four lane urban section in 1988. County approval will be required for the entrance location onto Lexington AV. It will be the responsibility of this developmentto construct an 8' bituminous trailway adjacent to Lexington Av. /D y 0 ADVENT METHODIST CHURCH REZONING & PREL PLAT JANUARY 28, 1986 PAGE 3 RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS: A 55' half right-of-way will be required to be dedicated for Lexington Av. In addition to all regular 10' utility easements adjacent to public right-of-way and 5' drainage and utility easements adjacent to all lot lines, a utility easement will be required for the sanitary lateral to be extended from the north to south property lines of this proposed development. In addition, a ponding and utility easement will be required if the parking area is to be drained to pond JP -9. A 10' trailway easement shall be provided adjacent to Lexington Av. ASSESSMENTS: Research into the assessments regarding this site indicate the site is still responsible for the upgrading of trunk area storm sewer and trunk area watermain from agricultural to commercial rates. These are summarized on the following table: Estimated 1986 Amount Description Quantity Date Trunk Area Water Upgrading 3.73 (ac)(1) $1,830(2) $6,825 Trunk Area Storm Sewer Upgrading Total 162,564 S.F.(1) $0.025(3) $4,065 $10,890 (1) Net Area (2) Difference between agricultural & commercial rates ($3,020 - 1,190) (3) Difference between agricultural & commercial rates ($0.075 - 0.050) CONDITIONS: 1) The canopy area will require a Conditional Use Permit. 2) ' The parking lot shall be completed to City ' standards as soon as the overflow area is being used on a regular basis. 3) A detailed landscape plan and financial guarantee shall be submit- ted and not released until 1 year after completion.

L1 FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION DATE: FEBRUARY 10, 1986 RE: ADVISORY PARKS & REC COMM ACTION - ADVENT UNITED METHODIST CHURCH At the February 6th meeting of the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commission, the Commission reviewed the preliminary plat for Advent United Methodist Church. In reviewing the plat, the Advisory Commission expressed some concern over the proposed drainage flow from the parking lot through Patrick Eagan Park. Concern is for overland drainage which would cause erosion within steep sloped areas further to the west. It was noted that staff was to meet with the representatives of the church to"review possible alternatives. • The Advisory Commission recommended the following: 1) That this development be responsible for costs associated with a bituminous trailway on Lexington Avenue through the length of its plat. 2) That the cash dedication requirement be waived until such time that this property is converted into any other use.

CHARLES DEVELOPMENT CORP LOCATION: NWi, SECTION 15 EXISTING ZONING: CSC (COMMUNITY SHOPPING CENTER) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 28, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 16, 1986 REPORTED BY: PLANNING & ENGINEERING APPLICATION SUBMITTED: Two separate applications ?.ave been submit- ted by the K. Charles Development Corporat'.on. The first being a preliminary plat for a 17,620 so,, ft. retail strip center along the southern side of Duckwood Dr and east of Krestwood La. The other is a conditional use for a pylon sign and drive-thru for a restaurant on the eastern portion of the building. ZONING & LAND USE: This site is surrounded shopping center) zoning on the north and east, the proposed Hardee's Restaurant. It will be the access points to Hardees and the subject .from each other. The area to the south is • business, just east of the First B-ank Eagan. with little or no vegetation at this time. by CSC (community To the west is important that site meet across designated limited The land is flat SITEPLANNING & CODE COMPLIANCE: This plat will consist of the . retail area ± 2.1 acres and an outlot of nearly 1 acre to the south. Two entry/exit points are provided, .one along Krestwood La and the other on Duckwood Dr. Both are large enough for east vehicular movement and -have good site lines. Most of the parking will be on the northern one-half of the site. A one way loop road along the southern portion of the site will provide parking for 29 cars and stacking for the fast food menu board and pick up area. City Code requires one parking stall per 150 sq. ft. .in retail areas. This 12,620 sq, ft, center will require 84 stalls. The fast. food restaurant, a food fair type that will include the Golden Skillet and a Dairy Queen, will not have a separate parking area but use available stalls from the 109 that are provided. The parking stalls are shown_ to be 10' wide and both building and parking setbacks meet Code requirements. .Staff has recommended that an easement between the retail area and the out -lot be created. to allow movement between the parcels ' ;,,.without going on Krestwood first. Also, that only one -access be allowed onto Krestwood from the outlot, iii K CHARLES DEVELOPMENT PRELIMINARY PLAT & COND USE PERMIT JANUARY 28, 1986 PAGE 2 The interior lighted pylon sign will be located west of the Duckwood Dr entrance and must be placed 10' within the property line from the widest portion of the signage area. This sign area --will , be approx. 90 sq, ft per.side and the height will be 20'. COMMENTS: The building's exterior will be brown iron spotted brick over concrete block with a concrete walkway in front. Store front accents will be achieved through the use of anodized aluminum - the color has yet to be determined. A rock faced coping will continue around the entire building above the sign band area. The signage will typically be ± 24". The back side of the building will be 8" single score painted concrete block.., The gabled entry to the Food Fare area will be sky lighted... and serve as a major focal point. A tot lot will be provided adjacent to the northern portion of -the restaurant and will require • some form of safety barrier from the parking/road areas. A separate trash area has not been shown, therefore, it is assumed that all debris will be contained within the building. GRADING/DRAINAGE: Because this site is rather flat, the grading the applicant is proposing is certainly feasible. The final grading plan the applicant submits for final plat approval shall contain adequate erosion control methods in accordance with the City's Erosion Control Manual. This site lies within major drainage district D as shown in Figure 1. All downstream trunk storm sewer facilities within this district are in place. No trunk storm sewer facilities are necessary as a result of this development. However, this development will- be responsible for extending the existing ,storm ,sewer outlet from Krestwood La to their ea s property line. UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and watermain of .sufficient size, capacity and depth exist within Krestwood La and Duckwood Dr. ;This development will not require any.utilities extensions.. STREETS: buckwood Dr borders this --proposed development on .the north and Krestwood La borders on the west. Both streets are City streets. Duckwood Dr is classified as -a community collector - street and was constructed to City standards in 1985 under project 429. Krestwood La is classified as a local street also .Built to City standards.. The northerly access to this development from Duckwood Dr lines up with Town Centre Dr 70 to form a four-way intersection. _. The westerly access from Krestwood La is far ,enough away from the Duckwood Dr. intersection to provide safe ingress and egress.' However, staff recommends the Commission stay flexible and require .,.,.; -this development to work with the proposed Hardee's, across the :,•street, to. line up their respective entrances onto Krestwood La Finally,. staff recommends that the Commission allow only S K CHARLES DEVELOPMENT PRELIMINARY PLAT a COND USE PERMIT JANUARY 28, 1986 PAGE 3 •, one access to the proposed outlot because it wil not be wide enough to support two accesses. Staff recommends this development provide for a cross easement so that both the proposed outlot and this development can share the westerly access. RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS: This development shall dedicate a 40 foot half right-of-way for Duckwood Dr and a 30 foot half right-of- way for Krestwood La. This development shall also dedicate a 30 foot utility easement for the storm sewer extension.

DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 28, 1986 DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 8, 1986 REPORTED BY: JIM STURM APPLICATION SUBMITTED: •An application has been submitted requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow two (2) above -ground liquid storage tanks on lot 5 of the Imre Addition, west of T.H. 149 & north of T.H. 55. BACKGROUND: The proposed storage tanks will be used to hold liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) and diesel motor fuel for Airco Industrial Gases. Currently the zoning is PD; surrounding land uses are of the light industrial or general business nature. General Coatings is to the immediate north as is Artistic Wood. An excavat- ing company's building, to the east, i9 at least 250 feet from Airco's eastern property line. Access to the site is provided from a service drive that connects to a frontage road north of T.H. 55. TANK 1 (LIQUID CO2) This CO2 tank, approved by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), will measure '14' x 75' and be 16' high (see exhibits). The volume is 250 tons, however, the tanks only hold 75% liquid and are regulated by two separate_ sets of safety controls. . The tank will be located 5' from the -7'_ chain link fence on the north and west. Carbon dixoide has a variety of uses including; carbonation of beverages, fire extinguishing, freezing of meat and chilling everything from medicines to semi -conductor components. C62 does not promote- combustion and as a result, this type of .tank can often be stored within a building. The applicant intends to- store this liquid only and wil not use it -on the site. Koch Refinery of Rosemount is the supplier. The Building Inspection . Department has approved this tank and plan at the January 6, 1986 staff review meeting. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - AIRCO JANUARY 28, 1986 PAGE 2 TANK 2 (DIESEL MOTOR FUEL) This proposed diesel fuel storage will measure 14' x 14' and be 20' tall. The applicant wishes to place the tank in one of two possible locations; 1) between warehouses 1 & 2 along the eastern property line of the site or 2) just south of the proposed CO2 tank. Due to the size and height of this tank, there will be special safety precautions required by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and a separate approval by the State Fire Marshall's office. The City Inspection's Dept has no other requirements other than the written approval by the MPCA & State Fire Marshall's office. CONDITIONS: 1) Detailed Landscape plan be submitted to bring the area into compliance with City Code. Screeningshould be encouraged to lessen the impact of these two tanks. • /aZ�Q • HTS ' �� :' -- - �- r -- - ---------- v..

This plan reduced the amount of community shopping center district and provided some neighborhood and limited business areas. The first application was a preliminary plat in the neighborhood business portion abutting Lexington Av, south of Co Rd 30. The one comment made with this preliminary plat was that the square footage require- ment of 20,000 sq. ft. still.be-upheld for the neighborhood business portion. Mr Mark Ravich has been working with the first development plan and is trying to obtain leases in order to construct a 20,000 sq. ft. strip center. Since the last approval in 1985, Mr Ravich has changed the site plan slightly and would like to review this with the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council. The preliminary plat and final plat will not change, therefore, no repeat public hearing is needed for this review. The change that Mr Ravich would like to discuss is on the north end of the building. Instead of 'a'typical strip center, Mr Ravich has been working with a service station that would provide gas pumps on the north._ end of the building and also have 4 service bays that would have access from the east side of the building. Additional landscaping and berming has been done on the east side by Center Drive in order to screen the access to the service bays as much as possible. This facility would. contain two 20' drive aisles so that cars may circulate around the pump island. In reviewing the zoning ordinance, it appears that a service station with service bays is a permitted use within the neighborhood business district. This appears to be a unique concept with tying it to the strip center. Mr Ravich would like to review this concept with the Planning Commission and City Council. If the Commission does approve this concept -`it should be subject to a detailed landscape plan and revised grading plan so that adequate berming can be provided around the east end of the building. All other conditions placed on the Eagan Center lst Addition shall be adhered to for this development plan. 131 I r- �� °''15`ti� �• �� 5 �'.Ia; �}�},t�•1 1 - .411L��,- ',�4pt1 �� f ( Y: r ) • w� • i FUTURE -$TREAT- i j i ..

At that meeting the City Administrator would like to update the City Council on the status of the radio communications system which has received additional evaluation since budget discussions --last fall. There are some various City Council and administrative policies that need to be reviewed which could be considered at that meeting. The City Administrator will provide a detailed agenda of information to be discussed well in advance of the meeting. If this date is agreeable to members of the City Council a motion will be suggested at the meeting on Tuesday to set March 11 as a Special City Council/Workshop session to review a number of items.

Sperry has indicated that they are preparing a statement to be submitted to the City and the two regional. newspapers, the Minneapolis Star and Tribune and St. Paul Dispatch, regarding comments that were made by Don Bruun. Apparently, Mr. Bruun had accepted a position with the Honeywell Corporation and is no longer employed at Sperry. According to the Sperry Corporation, normally formal press releases are prepared by that department and given to the newspapers. According to Sperry personnel this procedure was not followed on the Eagan proposal.

SURPLUS BRICKS The City contacted Midwest Brick and Supply Company and established a price of 6258 per thousand for the surplus brick. The contractor for the Northwestern Bell switching station, which is located adjacent to the old City Hall, was agreeable to the price and has purchased 4,000 bricks. Believe it or not, there are still bricks left over for the City to use for some other purpose. The Maintenance crews have been advised to relocate the bricks to a safer storage area until they can either be sold or used for a City purpose in the future. 0 GENERAL REVENUE SHARING 0.

Also enclosed on page /217 is a copy of a print out that illustrates the impact on he City of Eagan if the Governor's budget cut is adopted. The City has budgeted approximately $1,177,000 for 1986 and in reality would only receive $1,076,000 or an estimated $101,000 reduction in the appropriation. Obviously, the impacts vary quite substantially between cities if you look at the amount Duluth would lose under the Governor's budget cut. Since all cities are in "wait and see" until the end of the session there is no need for action to be taken at this time, however, it may become necessary this spring to address some type of budget adjustment or allocate reserves for the loss of revenue. SBOARD OF REVIEW MEETING The City has received a letter from the Dakota County Assessor's office asking- that the City determine by February 28, a date for the Board of Review meeting for 1986. The date that is being suggested by the Dakota County Assessor's office is Wednesday, May 28, 1986. If this meeting date is agreeable, the City Clerk's office will so indicate to the Assessor's office. HRA UPDATE Enclosed on pagesthrough-Lj-7j is a copy of the most recent status report for Assisted Housing Community Development MLC UPDATE Enclosed is a copy of the MLC update. You will note that the amount under the Governor's budget reduction on page 3 of that report varies slightly from the print out that was addressed earlier in this memorandum. C-JQgeS 4krow1h /S/ Thomas L. Hedges City Administrator /--17 MEMO TO: DALE RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: FEBRUARY 12, 1986 SUBJECT: DETACHED HOUSING STUDY In official action that was taken by the City Council at a regular meeting held on Tuesday, February 4, 1986, staff .was directed to conduct a complete analysis of future single-family/detached housing demands and needs for the community. I would like your department to make such•an analysis and hopefully have your study completed for review at one of the two March City Council meetings. City Councilmember Wachter who was the author of the motion is concerned about future demographics and whether the City has adequate zoning and land use to handle the single- family/detached housing demands that—could be placed on this community. Possibly information as provided by the Met Council and other agencies could be helpful in compiling an analysis. Certainly trends that are occurring in Eagan regarding the number of single- family permits would be helpful and this data should be shared in such an analysis. I reminded the City Council that statistical data was provided at the Comprehensive Guide Update and again, this information could be included in such a study. If you have any questions, I would suggest contacting City Council - member Wachter either through a meeting with myself or by telephone so our 'study completely addresses his concerns.

There were a number of reasons why this program was started in '1972 and those reasons remain valid; consequently, the Federal Government's commitment should also continue. In helping to provide essential support for the nation's local governments in meeting the costs of implementing national policies and in assisting in the maintenance of services and facilities required for economic growth, the program has proven to be efficient and effective. The concept of using the Federal. Government's ability to raise revenues in partnership with local governments' unques- tioned knowledge of public demands for local government services allows for the greatest possible use of limited resources. The City of Eagan has used General Revenue Sharing funds for acquisition, construction and improvement to major community facilities, including the purchase of land, construction of a police facility, partial funding of a municipal government center and expansion of the maintenance garage. Other items of benefit to the total community purchased with these funds include early warning sirens and voting equipment. As a very rapidly growing community, tremendous pressure is placed on City officials to provide necessary infrastructure and essential governmental services. Given the value of the program to this City, the continued validity of tax base sharing and limited ability to raise replacement revenues locally, it is essential that this program be continued.

Jennings Speaker of the House District 29A Martin-Watonwan Counties February 6, 1986 Dear City Official: Minnesota House of Representatives (Please share this letter with your mayor and council members.) It was recently announced that our DFL governor, Rudy Perpich, has underestimated state revenue collections by $734 million. To make up for his error, Governor Perpich has proposed cutting state aid payments to local units of government. Your city's finances would be seriously impaired if the DFL governor's plans are adopted. Not only would you see your local - government -aid payments reduced, but homestead credits as well. Governor Perpich is leaving locally -elected officials such as yourself with little choice but to raise local real estate taxes. That may solve the state's fiscal dilemma, but it does so by transferring the problem to you at the local level. The IR House majority intends to fight to protect our cities from bearing the burden of the state's fiscal mismanagement. Your assistance is necessary if we are to persuade the DFL governor and Senate liberals that cities should be spared from cuts. Please take a few minutes to call or write the DFL governor and your local senator, and ask them to support the efforts of House Independent -Republicans to balance the state budget by cutting areas other than local -government aid. We're going to fight to try and come through this current budget problem without impairing the ability of local governments to serve their citizens.

The owner, in turn, agrees to rent to households eligible for Section 8 Rent Assistance. The rental of these units is coordinated through the Dakota County HRA and the rent payments for the tenants is the same as Section 8 Existing. Besides the existing units in place, this program is no longer available. 3. Section 8 New Construction: The developers of these units receive a subsidy for construction of these units. The owners in turn, are required to rent these units to eligible low and moderate -income households. The rental payments for tenants are the same as Section 8 Existing.

This issue marks the beginning of the third year Update has been published by the Municipal Legislative Com- mission. During the past two years the primary audience of Update was the mayors and city council members of the 15 MLC member cities. Beginning with this issue„ the primary audience will be the 23 state representatives and 15 state senators that comprise the MLC Legislative Delegation. Several months ago, the MLC Communications Subcommittee chaired by Jim Willis, City Manager of Plymouth, recommended to the MLC that the focus of Update be shifted to the legislative delegation. The objective of this publication is to inform legislators of MLC's legislative program and the key issues of concern to our suburbs. It will also serve as a vehicle to disseminate informa- tion about our cities and the individuals that run these cities. Update will provide legislators with information that specifically addresses the cities they represent. • In this issue, articles have been included that discuss the effects of the Governor's proposed cuts in local government aid and homestead credit, a summary of the 1986 policy resolu- tions adopted by the MLC Board of Directors at the January Board Meeting, a profile of the new MLC City Inver Grove Heights and a background piece on Minnetonka City Manager James Miller who is the new President of the League of Minnesota Cities. Update will be published monthly during the legislative session ann monthly during the interim. The MLC lobbyist, Larkin, Hoffman, Daly & Lindgren, Ltd., is responsible for its publica- tion. Distribution of Update will include the 38 legislators 'who are members of the MLC Legislative Delegation, legislative leadership, Mayors and city council members from our 15 cities, the Capitol and suburban press, and individuals and organizations that deal with local government issues. If any reader has suggestions for changes or comments, please contact Jim Willis at 559-2800. /.�3 MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION rage Governor's Budget Reduction Plan Cuts Suburban Aid Governor Perpich announced his budget reduction recommendations on January 23. The Legislature, facing a $734 million revenue shortfall, must balance the budget before the 1986 Legislative Session adjourns. The Governor's recommended cuts will have a serious affect on local governments. In October, MLC President, Burnsville Mayor Connie Morrison, sent the Governor, legislative leadership 7 and members of the MLC Legislative Delegation a letter stating. that the MLC would be willing to share in balancing the State's budget, but that the cuts should be uniform and fair. The MLC policy was, and continues to be, that budget cuts should be across- the-board. Although the Governor announced that all budgets would be cut an uniform 3.5 percent (except for school aids, which is to be cut 2.5 percent), the fact is that 1986 local government aid previously committed to the 15 MLC suburbs will receive an 8.86 percent cut. In addition, MLC cities will receive a 9.76 percent reduction in the homestead credit payments. The reason these cuts are greater than 3.5 percent is because the Governor's recommendation of 3.5 percent is against the biennial appropriation. Since one year of the biennium has already passed, local government aid and home- stead credit cuts have to be doubled. However, a 7 percent cut • of 1986 local government aid pays amounts to $21 million, not the $25.2 million the Governor is recommending. The Governor's recommendation adds an additional $4..2 million to the local ,government aid cut. The rationale, which makes little sense, is that this additional amount equals a 3.5 percent cut of miscellaneous aids and credits such as the'native prairie credit, wetlands credit, agricultural preservation credit, etc. These aids and credits were not cut. The Governor's budget recommendation also cut the homestead credit $51.1 million when in fact a 3.5 percent reduction in the home- stead credit appropriation would equal $39.4 million. An addi- tional $11.7 million cut was added to the homestead credit. The Governor's budget explains that this $11.7 million represents a 3.5 percent cut in the renter credit and circuit breaker programs. Renters credit and the property tax refund (circuit breaker) program were not cut, but their share of the cut was added to the homestead credit program. QI MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION Governor's Budget Reduction Plan (continued) Page 3 The net result is that local units of government will be cut 2.6.3 percent more than the 7 percent they had expected. On a statewide average, instead of being cut,$60.4 million, local governments are being asked to absorb an additional $15.9 million cut which the MLC does not deem to be fair or equitable. The following chart shows.the effects of the Governor's recommenda- tions on MLC cities. 15 MLC SUBURBS Total- Coveuiunent Aid And Hcnestead Credit Reductions Under The Governor's revised Budget Proposal • Cuts would be made fon 1986 homestead credit amounts, however, the amrciunt certified is not yet available, therefore, 1985 homestead credit aid paynents are used is a' reasonable approximation.

Twenty-two legislators that represent the MLC cities along with 5.4 MLC city officials were present at this event.The mayor, city manager and council members from the Cities of Inver; Grove Heights and Lakeville were guests. The evening provided an excellent opportunity for local elected officials to speak with their legislators. It also provided the Commission the occasion to formally present MLC's 1986 Legislative Resolutions which have been summarized in this issue of Update. The keynote speaker was House Speaker David Jennings, who outlined the upcoming legislative agenda, focusing his remarks on the budget shortfall that the State of Minnesota faces. He acknowledged MLC's concerns regarding the expected budget cuts and how these cuts could possibly affect their cities and local government aid. He also reassured the Commission that he was committed to arriving at an equitable solution..to the state's _financial problem., Following the event, the members of the Commission and the Legislative Delegation commented that they found the evening both enjoyable and informative and looked forward to scheduling similar events in the future. 14 A MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION MLC Board of Directors Adopts 1986 Legislative Resolutions The MLC Board of Directors adopted the following four legislative resolutions for the 1986 Session at their board meeting which was held on January 15: Local Government Aid Polic The MLC supports a continuation of the LGA formula enacted in 1985. It does not support changes to this formula during the 1986 Session. Budget Reduction Policy 4 Since the State of Minnesota is currently facing a budget deficit, the MLC believes that all recipients of state appropriations should share equally in any necessary budget cuts. However, the MLC will oppose any cutbacks which place an excessive amount of budget reductions on local units of government. 1987 Local Government Aid Appropriation Policy The MLC resolves that the 1987 Local Government Aid appropriation amount be increased by at least 68 more than the 1986 appropriation amount. And if reductions in 1986 Local Government Aid are necessary, any per- centage increase for 1987 should be computed on the restored 1986 base amount. 1986 Legislative Policy The MLC defines its 1986 legislative program, con- centrating their efforts on Local Government Aid, property tax relief programs such as homestead credit, budget reductions affecting cities, and other issues which may have fiscal impact on its membership._ 157 MUNICIPAL Page 16 LEGISLATM COMMISSION Inver Grove Heights Joins MLC The MLC is pleased to announce that Inver Grove Heights has become ,the most recent city to join the Commission_ Inver Grove Heights' decision to participate in the Commission has increased MLC membership to currently include 15 municipalities. Inver Grove Heights shares similar demographic characteristics. goals and objectives with the other MLC communities, and their membership will undoubtedly strengthen MLC's voice and impact on such legislation as to calgovernment aid, tax policy and other financial issues.

Miller acknowledged that his responsibilities during this one- year term will be demanding, especially during a time when the State of Minnesota is facing a budget shortfall. Miller called for the cooperation of government officials on every level to help resolve this difficult situation in a fair and equitable manner. Miller was first elected to serve on the League's Board of Directors in 1983, and was elected Vice President in June 1985. `?r Miller has been actively involved in the League for several years, serving on the League's Personnel Committee, Budget Committee and on the joint NAHRO-League Industrial Revenue Bond Task Force. Miller was one of the chief founders and driving forces behind the establishment of the Municipal Legislative Commission. He served as MLC's first Vice .Chair and held this position for two years. Presently, he is on the Commission's Local Government Finance Subcommittee and the Development Finance Subcommittee. Miller sees no conflict of interest regarding his involvement in both the MLC and the League of Minnesota Cities. He believes that these organizations compliment each other, and that their combined efforts increase their effectiveness and help both organizations achieve their goals. Miller is also active in other organizations. He is a board member of the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities and belongs to several national and international city managers' associations. Prior to his position as the City Manager of Minnetonka, Miller was the assistant city manager in Des Moines,Iowa and Janesville, Wisconsin for three years each. Miller holds two masters and a doctoral degree in public administration and taught public administration at Drake University. /5q MUNICIPAL Page 8 LEGISLATM COMMISSION MLC Regional Breakfast Meetings Scheduled in March The MLC Board of Directors unanimously decided to -schedule three MLC Regional Breakfast Meetings during the 1986 Legislative Session and invite the MLC Legislative Delegation to participate. It was the Board's belief that these breakfast meetings be held in lieu of the "Day at the Legislature" since it would provide city officials a better opportunity to meet with their legislators to discuss legislative priorities and issues of concern to their communities.
