07/28/1989 - City Council RegularMEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: JULY 28" 1989
SUBJECT: UPDATE
BETTY BASSETT PRESENTATION
Included on the August 1 agenda is a request by Betty Bassett to
address the City Council on various issues pertaining to the Seneca
Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion. Betty and other members of
the Odor Committee have raised several issues pertaining to
operations and expansion of the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant
and are feeling frustrated that the MWCC is not providing answers
to their questions. Attachments, both Betty's letter and a memo
responding to the letter prepared by Kristy Marnin, will indicate
that several of the issues are outside the scope and purpose of the
Odor Committee. Staff has attempted to request that members of the.,
Committee focus on the specific objective that was outlined in the
development agreement, however, invariably the discussion leads to
many other issues as outlined in Betty's letter.
Realizing this is a non -action item, the City Council may want to
limit the, discussion time and re -emphasis that the purpose of the
Committee'is to address the issues identified in the development
agreement. I wrote a memo that was circulated to the Committee
approximately two (2) months ago that provided a specific direction
for their Committee work as I interpreted the intent of the
development agreement. Attached is a copy of that memo.
Certainly, the City Council has the right to expand the scope and
tasks of the Committee, and this is your alternative.
ROSENE EVENING WEDNESDAY AUGUST 2
For those of you that are planning to attend the Rosene outing on
Wednesday, August 2, at the Minnesota orchestra Hall, Tom Colbert
and I would be happy to 'provide carpooling from a location to be
determined. We can discuss arrangements immediately following the
meeting on Tuesday.

MEMO TO: Dale Runkle, Community Development Director
FROM: Tom Hedges, City Administrator
DATE: May 8, 1989
SUBJECT: Seneca Odor Control Advisory Committee
It has come to my attention that questions have been raised
regarding the role of the Seneca Odor Control Advisory Committee,
established under the Seneca Plant Development Agreement between
the City and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC). To
clarify this issue, following is a brief discussion of this
Development Agreement.
The Seneca Plant Development Agreement is an agreement between the
City of Eagan and the MWCC. The Odor Control Adyisory Committee
is not a party to this agreement. In this agreement, specific
conditions are listed which must be satisfied by the MWCC and the
.,City with regard to platting, permits, sludge management and odor
monitoring. The Community Development Department is the
responsible department within the City for the supervision and
enforcement of the Agreement for the City.
Section 3.1.c. of the Agreement requires the MWCC to implement an
odor control program which includes, among other things, an odor
advisory committee. The purpose of this committee is to provide
a forum for informational exchanges and discussions between the
MWCC, the City and interested citizens regarding the plant
expansion, operations and odor issues. The committee's authority
is advisory only, and does not extend beyond these duties.
I will be unable to attend the next committee meeting on May 10,
1989, because I will be attending an out-of-town conference.
However, City Attorney Jim Sheldon will attend this meeting to
assist in any clarification of the committee's duties. Kristy
Marnin, Planner I, is the City's official representative to this
committee, and has been coordinating committee activities with the
two of us. Since the committee has not yet elected a chair, Kristy
should chair the committee until one is elected.
If there are any other concerns regarding the Seneca Odor Control
Advisory Committee, please advise.

FOR AUGUST 1, 1989 CITY COUNCIL
After approval is given to the August 1, 1989 agenda and regular
meeting minutes for the July 18 City Council meeting, the following
items are in order for consideration.
A. PARKS DEPARTMENT
Item 1. Acquisition, One -Half Acre Parcel Adjacent to Diffley/
,I,esington Athletic Site --The Parks and Recreation Advisory
Commission is recommending the acquisition of Lot 3, Block 2 of
Kensington Addition, the one-half acre parcel on the north side of
Cambridge Court that is currently owned by First Financial
Corporation, as an additional parcel concluding the land
acquisition for the Diffley/Lexington athletic site.
For additional information on this item, refer to a staff report
prepared by the Director of Parks and Recreation enclosed on pages
y through 3 . The Director of Community Development has
reviewed th Kensington PUD agreement, his comments are included
on page /.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the
acquisition of Lot 3, Block 2 of Kensington Addition, a one-half
acre parcel on the north side of Cambridge Court from First
Financial Corporation.
MEMORANDUM
TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM ;i,.p KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JULY 11, 1989
RE: DIFFLEY/LEXINGTON ATHLETIC SITE
FIRST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
BACKGROUND:
The City Council previously approved the acquisition of the Diffley/Lexington
athletic site from H.U.D. Lot 3, Block 2 of Kensington Addition, the 1/2 acre
^parcel on the north side of Cambridge Court and owned by First Financial
Corporation was also to be acquired. Staff has had several contacts with the
representative for First Financial to discuss the purchase price.
PROPERTY USE•
The parcel was originally intended to be used as the commons area for the planned
townhouse/condominiums. A swimming pool shell was constructed on the lot in
anticipation of its use in this manner.
The Planning Department/Community Development has been asked to review the
Kensington P.U.D. agreement and make a determination as to if the property could
be used for any other purpose which would obviously have an impact on the value.
STATUS OF NEGOTIATIONS:
Staff had suggested an acquisition price of $9,000 to the Owner. This is about
the same per acre cost the City acquired the H.U.D. property for. The Seller
was to also pay for all assessments and taxes.
Recently, the Seller has responded with a counter offer to the City. They are
willing to sell the parcel at $7,500 w-ith the City to assume all assessments and
taxes. A call to the County revealed that there remains $3,980 in assessments
and a total of $4,426 in tax for years 1987, 1988 and 1989. There would also
be an interest charge possibility calculated after July 1. Attached is the
Seller's response with the counter offer.
DISCUSSION•
The City has several options. Accept the terms or attempt to negotiate a
different price. The City could also consider allowing the parcel to go into
tax forfeiture, but this assumes the developer would not try to develop the land
in some other manner. The City could also consider condemnation if it is felt
that this would be successful in significantly reducing the purchase price.
0
FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
To approve the acqu,is,ition of the parcel at the Seller's offer
or
To not approve the acquisition at the Seller's price and to

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: DALE C. RUNKLE, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: "JULY 26, 1989
RE: AUGUST 1, 1989 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEMS
The Community Development. Department has been asked to coordinate
and review the status of the Planned Development Agreement for
Lexington South as it relates to the Kensington development.
it appears that the appraised/market value of the one-half acre
parcel in the Kensington development would be the same as the 67
acres to the north previously acquired by the City. The value of
the property should be based on the same factors used previously
in the analysis of the property to the north. Any negotiated price
which was better than the purchase price of the 67 acres would be
;a benefit to the City. At this point, they have not done an
analysis of the property other than comparing this parcel to the
parcel to the north and the same circumstances would apply.
If additional information is required, we could request more
appraisals and detailed information, however we feel the results
would be the same; it would be compared with the 67 acres.

PARRS DEPARTMENT CONTID
Item 2. Select Architectural Services, 1990 Park Building Design
and Construction --At the recommendation of the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission and in concurrence with the City Council, the
architectural firm of Schwartz/Weber has designed and coordinated
construction management of park shelter buildings in several City
parks during the past three to four years. Recently, the original
contract with the firm was kept open and extended in order to
complete the building contract for 1987 and again during 1988 to
complete the design/construction management for the Thomas Lake
park shelter building. There are three (3) parks that will contain
park shelter buildings and in the case of Blackhawk Park a park
pavilion, all three to be considered for construction in early
1990. It is the recommendation of the Director of Parks and
Recreation on behalf of the Parka, and Recreation Advisory
,Commission is recommending the selection of Schwartz/Weber
AArchitects to perform design/construction of park shelter buildings
in 1990 or authorize a time line and RFP architectural process to
select the new architectural firm to complete the design and
construction.management as presented. For additional information
on this item, refer to a memo prepared by the Director of Parks and
Recreation included on pages _4:_ through __;L_.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the 1)
selection of Schwartz/Weber Architects to perform design/
construction of park shelter buildings in 1990 or 2) authorize a
time line and RFP architectural process to select a new
architectural firm.
MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS A RECREATION
DATE: JULY 13, 1989
RE: ARCHITECT SELECTION 1990 PARK BUILDING DESIGN
AND CONSTRUCTION
BACKGROUND
The Advisory Commission, City Council, and City staff previously selected the
architectural firm of Schwarz/Weber to design/construct park shelter buildings.
The original contract with the firm was kept open and extended in order to
complete the building contract of 1987, and again last ,year to complete the
design/construction of the Thomas,Lake Park shelter building.
It is anticipated that Blackhawk Park will have a park pavilion; preliminary
concept plans would be beneficial to have for an eventual neighborhood meeting
regarding this park.
In addition, park shelter buildings for Bridle Ridge Park and Ohmann Park are
called for and should be under contract by early 1990, for fall 1990 use.
ISSUE
Staff is seeking .authorization to hire
architectural services with Schwarz/Weber
for a Blackhawk Park building and proceed
Park and Ohmann Park.
ALTERNATIVES AND DISCUSSION
and/or negotiate a contract for
Architects to prepare concept plans
with building plans for Bridle Ridge
The Council may wish to consider sending out requests for proposals, and again
go through a selection process which would lead to the hiring of an architectural
firm to do the above mentioned work. However, the department staff has been very
pleased with the design work, as well as the attention to the construction phase,,
that Schwarz/Weber has provided to the City. This feeling is shared by the
Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission. Consequently, there is not a good
reason to exclude Schwarz/Weber from any firms asked to respond to an R.F.P.,
based on their work history with the City. It would not be unusual for us to
award the work directly to this firm. However, if there is overwhelming or a
compelling reason to select another firm, this would be an opportune time to
begin a process that would lead to the selection of another firm.
2
ARCHITECT SELECTION
JULY 13, 1989
PAGE TWO
Staff is recommending that Schwarz/Weber be hired, assuming a suitable contract
can be negotiated, to do the design and construction contract, for 1990 park
shelter buildings.
Their past performance, both in design and construction phase management, has
been excellent. This past experience with the City would be advantageous, due
to the fact that they are familiar with the structures , building materials
pallet and understand the design concerns of the City,. I believe that most
individuals within the. City,, as well as the ,public, are pleased with the current
park shelter buildings; therefore, continuation of their work is well justified.
It would also be advantageous to work with them, in that park shelter buildings
for Bridle Ridge and Ohmann Park are likely to be replicas of existing,
structures, and modifications to existing plans would be readily adaptable
through this firm, rather than a whole new drawing process with another company.
FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Authorize the hiring of Schwarz/Weber Architects to do the design/construction
contract for 1990 park shelter buildings (assuming successful negotiations for
a work contract), or authorize a timeline and R.F.P. architectural process for
an architect to design/construct for 1990 park buildings.

B. FINANCE DEPARTMENT
Item 1. Renewal of General Insurance and Workers Compensation --
Mr. Jeff Bowers of First Insurance has completed the renewal
application process for the City of Eagan's renewal of general
liability and workers compensation. For additional information on
this item, refer to a memo prepared by the Director of Finance
which includes support documentation prep red by First Insurance.
This information is enclosed on pages �, through 4 --
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the
insurance renewal for July 1, 1989 through June 30, 1990.
MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: FINANCE DIRECTOR/CITY CLERK VANOVERBEKE
DATE: JULY 26, 1989
SUBJECT: INSURANCE RENEWAL - JULY 1, 1989, THROUGH, JUNE 30, 1990
Mr. Jeff Bowers of First Insurance has completed the renewal
application process with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance
Trust. The renewal package is, therefore, in order for
consideration by the City Council.
Attached to this memo is the following supporting documentation:
1. Summary of Insurance This material highlights the
coverages which are currently in force for the City as
well as the deductibles and limits. (Pages 1-5)
2. Premium Recap This single page shows the premium by
coverage type for the various types of coverages as
outlined in the summary. (Page 6)
3. Comparative Analysis These two pages compare the
premiums for 1988 with those proposed for 1989. You will
note that in nearly every case the total premiums are
increasing, however, the increases relate to the size of
the operation. For example, property coverage shows an
increase in value covered of 32.3% while the total
premium has increased 10.7%. In other words, if the
value had remained constant, the premium would have been
reduced. (Pages 7 & 8)
4. Optional Coverage Ouotation At our request, a quotation
was solicited for excess liability. As you will note,
the premium is '$68,966 for $1,000,000 of excess liability
coverage. This appears to be rather expensive, but the
City Council should make a specific determination as to
whether or not it is desired. Staff recommendation would
be that the premium is too high for the protection
afforded and the coverage should not be purchased at this
time. (Page 9')
As we discussed briefly, consideration has also been given to
increase certain deductibles to reduce the premiums. Possible
changes and savings would be as follows:
Deductible
Current Other
$1,000 $10,000
$1,000 $25,000
Property Coverage
9
Premium Savings
$2,784
$4,858
General Liability
Deductible
Current Other
$5,,000 $10,000
$5,000 $25,000
Premium Savings
$5,314
$11,958
Again the utilization of higher deductibles is a matter the City
Council might want to consider. Staff recommendation would be that
in the current market the relatively small savings would not
justify the greater exposure for the City and the deductibles
should remain as they currently exist.
Workers Compensation is an area of concern at this point as the
City's experience modification factor has increased from .85 to
1.01. The frequency and severity of claims has increased
dramatically. We will be working with First Insurance and EBA to
increase our efforts at loss prevention as well as reviewing ways
to reduce overall costs by paying certain medical claims outside
,,of the current system.
Please let me know if you would like to discuss this in more detail
or if you would like any additional information.

Dear Mr. Van Overbeke:
In the course of our compliance review for the restruc-
tured bond program captioned above, KRC Resources, Inc.
discovered defects in the First Supplemental Trust Inden-
ture (the "First Supplemental Indenture") executed in con-
nection with the restructuring. A description of these
defects is set forth in our Annual Report dated October 31,
1988, a copy of which is enclosed. Specifically, the First
Supplemental Indenture:
(a) needs to require that excess moneys over the
Mortgage Reserve Fund Requirement be transferred to the
Principal Prepayment Subaccount semiannually to be used
to redeem bonds; and
(b) needs to provide that excess moneys in the
General Account be transferred to the Principal Prepay-
ment Subaccount after each interest payment date.
We have received confirmation from Ms. Joan M. DiMarco
of Laventhol & Horwath that the cash-flow projections pre-
pared at the time of the restructuring made the assumption
that the transfers described above would be made at the times
described above. Consequently, we are suggesting that the
City of Eagan, Minnesota, as Issuer, and First Trust National
Association, as Trustee, enter into a Second Supplemental
Trust Indenture (the "Second Supplemental Indenture") to cure
the defects.

Pursuant to Section 4.03 of the First Supplemental
Indenture, the written consent of the Bond Insurer is
required for the execution of supplemental indentures. I
have enclosed a copy of the Bond Insurer's consent letter.
We would like you, as Finance Director for the City of
Eagan, to turn over the appropriate documents to your coun-
sel. We would like your counsel to take the following action:
1. review the documents to satisfy himself that
there is nothing out of order;
2. ask the City to pass a Resolution authorizing
the execution of a Second Supplemental Indenture and
then have the City execute the Second Supplemental
Indenture (this may be done at any regular meeting of
the City's governing body); and
3. render his opinion as to the validity of the
Second Supplemental Indenture.
To that end, I have enclosed the Second Supplemental Inden-
ture and forms of the Resolution, the validity opinion we
would like your counsel to render and the opinion of Kutak
Rock & Campbell as to the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. I
have included several extra signature pages of the Second
Supplemental Indenture and the Resolution so that all parties
may have original signature pages when I prepare transcripts.
Of course, should the language in the Second Supplemen-
tal Indenture not meet with your approval, we would expect to
hear from your counsel with his comments. I would appreciate
your returning to me the executed Second Supplemental Inden-
ture and Resolution and the extra executed signature pages.
I will also need a validity opinion from your counsel on his
or the City's letterhead. Once I have the necessary docu-
ments in hand, I will arrange to procure the tax opinion of
Kutak Rock & Campbell and I will prepare transcripts for all
parties. I have sent the Second Supplemental Indenture to
the Trustee today for its review and signature and have asked
the Trustee to return the executed document to me.
For your information, Section 10.02 of the original
Trust Indenture provides that the consent of First Interstate
Mortgage Company, the Program Administrator (the "Administra-
tor"), is required before a supplemental indenture may be
executed. You indicated to me in our phone conversation
today that I may rely on you and your counsel to secure the
2�

Administrator's consent. I have enclosed a form that the
Administrator may use in giving its consent and a copy of the
Second Supplemental Indenture that should be sent to the
Administrator along with the consent form.
To summarize what I need from, you, here is a checklist:
1. Executed Second Supplemental Indenture and
counterparts of -signature page;;
2. Executed Resolution and counterparts of
signature page;
3. Opinion of counsel to City on 'appropriate
letterhead (form of opinion enclosed in this letter); and
4. Consent signed by First Interstate Mortgage
Company, the Program Administrator.
Please do not hesitate to call me or Steve M. Skoumal,
counsel to KRC Resources, Inc., at (402) 346-6000 with any
questions you may have. Thank you for your assistance in
this matter.

MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES

DATE: JULY 27, 1989
SUBJECT: 1989 GENERAL FUND BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS
In an effort to provide a more current and realistic budget to actual report in
the City's General Fund, I will be requesting City Council approval of budget
adjustments on an on -,,going basis. Upon this approval the operating statements
will be changed accordingly 'to the new appropriations'.
These request for budget adjustments fall.in the following three (3) areas•:
1. Donations are received and earmarked by .the donor to a specific
department and purchase.
2. Unspent funds appropriated in an earlier year are used for a current
purchase.
3. Additional needs are identified in a particular department without
a specified revenue source.
It should be noted that #2 and #3 ,require the use of the current year contingency
if any. After the contingency is allocated, we are forced to present a budget
that is out of balance. The impact on fund balance is 'presented when the current
year is closed.
Specific adjustments are as follows:
I. Estimated revenue for Contributions and Donations should be increased from
$1;000 to $17,460. The donors with benefiting department and appropriate
line items are as follows:

CONT 89-01 RECEIVE BIDS/AWARD CONTRACT (5989 SEALCOATING)
Q. Contract 89-01, Receive Bids/Award Contract (1989
eealccating)--At 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 28, 1989,.formal bids
were received for I he sealcoating maintenance program for 1989.
Enclosed on page tl is a tabulation of the bids received showing
the relationship of the low bidder to the allocation provided for
in the 1989 Budget. The bid tabulation also references an
alternate type of material which is a smaller graded crushed rock
commonly referred to as a "chip" sealcoat as compared to the base
bid which is for a round "buckshot" type of material. It has been
observed that the "buckshot" type of sealcoat does not adhere as
well as the "chip" sealcoat as it tends to "roll" out of place
under traffic conditions and related turning movements more so than
the angular configuration of the "chip" sealcoat. it also provides
,a significantly safer surface by reducing stopping distance and
providing better traction during, the winter months. While it is
a more expensive material, it has a longer life span subsequently
making it a more economical material. Subsequently, the Public
Works Department strongly recommends the awarding of the Contract
on the alternate bid.
The staff will check the bids submitted to verify accuracy and
compliance with bid specification requirements. Any deviations
will be specifically addressed at the meeting on August 1st.

SCOPE: This project provides for the construction of trunk storm sever to
serve as the outlet for Pond GP -12 adjacent to Cray Addition. Cray Addition
is located in the northeast corner of Lone Oak Road and Lone Oak Drive. This
project is proposed at this time because Cray Addition will be discharging
storm water into Pond GP -11.
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The project in feasible from an engineering
standpoint and is in accordance with the-objectivew established in the Com-
prehensive Storm Sewer Plan, The project can best be carried out asone
contract. It should be noted the 1984 Comprehensive Storm Sever Plan proposed
the storm sever outlet from Pond GP -12 be constructed southerly to Pond GP -10
and GP -3. The discharged storm water from Pond GP -3 is pumped 3 different
times prior to discharging ,into Pond FP -1. As part of updating the 1984
Comprehensive Storm Sever Plan, it's been determined that Pond GP -12 can
discharge into Pond FP -7 which in turn discharges directly to, Pond FP -1.
Therefore, by directing, storm water from Pond. GP -12 to Pond FP -T, it will not
be pumped 3 different times as it would if it were directed to .Pond GP -10 and
GP -3. As a result, it's recommended the storm sever outlet for Pond GP -12 be
constructed westerly in Lone Oak Road connecting to the existing storm sewer
in Lone Oak Drive which discharges into Pond, FP -7.
DISCUSSION: Storm sewer proposed herein provides for constructing a 12" and
18'" diameter storm sever to serve as the outlet for Pond GP -12. The alignment
is shown on the attached drawing. It is proposed the storm sever in Lone Oak
Road be constructed 60' northerly of the existing centerline. As a result, an
additional 20' wide utility easement is required along the south property line
of Cray Addition. In addition, a pond easement for Pond GP -12 will be re-
quired from Parcel 014-75 which is owned by Cray Research, Inc. The proposed
Page 1.
RPT49495
trunk storm sever in Lone Oak Roadwill connect to an existing 240 storm sewer
in Lone Oak Drive. The existing 24' storm sever ultimately discharges into
Pond FP -7 which has a storm sever outlet to Pond FP -1. Design considerations
for Pond GP -12 is as follows':
Drainage HVL
Area NUL HVL Area Storage Outflow
Pond GP -12 35 Ac. 880 885.5 3.6 Ac. 10.9 Ac.Ft. 1 cfs
COST ESTIMATES: Detailed cost estimates are presented in Appendix A located
at the back of this report. The total estimated project cost as outlined
herein including contingencies and all related overhead is $78,250. Overhead
costs are estimated at 30Z and include legal, engineering, administration, and
bond interest.

included at the back of this report in Appendix B. These assessments will be
spread over 10 years at an interest rate based on the. bond sale financing this
project.
STORM 'SEVER: Storm sever proposed herein is trunk. Therefore, it is proposed
to assess the unplatted parcels which are tributary to Pond GP -12 their trunk
area storm sever assessment as shown on the attached draving. The trunk area

FEASIBILITY REPORT
LEXINGTON WAY
STREET RECONSTRUCITON
& TRUNK WATER MAIN
PROJECT NO. 572
EAGAN, MINNESOTA
I. SCOPE
This project includes the reconstruction of the existing roadway from an existing
24 -foot rural section to a 32 face-to-face urban section on Lexington Way from
Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) to Diffley Road (County Road No. 30). This will
involve grading, gravel base, concrete curb and gutter, bituminous surfacing, storm
sewer and boulevard construction.
II. FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATION
The project is feasible from an engineering viewpoint. The project as outlined
herein can be achieved under one contract.
III. DISCUSSION
A. Water Main
With the new 4.0 million gallon surface reservoir being constructed south of
Diffley Road and Lexington Way, under City Contract 88-24 it is necessary to run a
20 -inch trunk water main from the existing booster station on Lexington Avenue to
the reservoir.
The route selected, which will minimize the severance of properties, is to run
north from the booster station to a sanitary sewer easement. (This easement is
along the southerly line of the Eagan Evangelical Covenant Church property) thence
west paralleling the sanitary sewer to Lexington Way, thence south along Lexington
Way, across Diffley Road and connecting to the surface reservoir.
If Lexington Way were not to be improved under this project, there would be street
reconstruction costs associated with the water main project. With this in mind, it
is proposed that the street reconstruction costs be applied to the water main
costs.
B. Storm Sewer
Most of the land adjacent to Lexington Way (with the exception of the church
property), drains away from the roadway. With this in mind, storm sewer
construction will be at a minimum.
The storm sewer proposed is to extend a 15 -inch RCP pipe from the intersection of
Lexington Way and Lexington Avenue, south for approximately 500 feet and place
catch basins on either side of the street. This will also allow for a connection
to the church parking lot. There will also be a new catch basin placed along the
west side of Lexington Way at Lexington Avenue.
-1-
Mi
C. Street Construction
The street will be reconstructed to city standards. This will involve grading,
gravel base, bituminous surfacing, 8618 concrete curb and gutter to a width of 32
feet face-to-face of curb.
D, Rights -of -Way and Permits
Lexington Way has a basic right-of-way of 66 feet. All street work will be done
within this right-of-way, however, it may be necessary to obtain temporary slope
easements to blend the project into adjacent property.
It will be necessary to obtain an additional 10 feet of permanent easement (from
the church property,) parallel and adjacent to the existing sanitary sewer easement.
Temporary construction easement will also have to be obtained along this line to
install the 20 -inch watermain.
Permits from the Minnesota Department of Health will have to be obtained for the
water main. A permit from the Dakota County Highway Department will have to be
obtained for any work done within,the rights-of-way of Lexington Avenue and Diffley
Road. -
IV. BENEFITED AREAS
The areas benefited by this improvement are all parcels abutting Lexington Way from
Lexington Avenue to Diffley Road.

V. COST ESTIMATES
A detailed cost esimate can be found in the attached appendix. A summary of these
costs are as follows:
A. Street and Storm Sewer $ 117,620
B. Reservoir Water Main 120,770
TOTAL ESIMATED PROJECT COST 5,238,390
The above total estimated project cost includes a contingency factor and a 30%
estimated cost for legal, engineering, administrative, and fiscal. These costs do
not include easement acquisition as it is assummed that easements will be provided
at no expense to the Project.
VI. ASSESSMENTS
Assessments are proposed to be levied as shown in the Appendix. The assessments
are for the street and storm sewer on Lexington Way. The costs for the trunk water
main will be paid for from the water supply and storage fund.
It is, imparative that the trunk water main be installed this fall so the new water
reservoir can be placed into service. With this in mind, if the Lexington Way
street improvements did not take place, there would be approximately $16,000 in
additional costs for the reservoir water main for restoration. If this cost is,
credited to the street improvement and paid for from the water supply and storage
fund, the assessable cost of $117,620 for street improvements would be reduced to
$101,620.
To calculate the street improvement assessments we have ,used the $101,620 figure.
There are 2406.28 assessable feet, giving an assessment rate of $42.23/foot.

Re: Lexington, Way Street Reconstruction & Trunk Water Main
Project No. 572
DSM Comm. No. 4418
Dear Mayor and Council:
Enclosed herewith is our petition to reconsider the proposed
street improvements for Lexington Way.
We feel that reconstruction of the street will not raise our
property value in,proportion with the essessd values. especially
the way the street is being reconstructed. All six residents who
are affec_ ted, feel that the presentstreetis acceptable the way it
is. If it must be improved„we feel the most beneficial to us and
the community would be to cul-de-sac the street on the north end.
By doing this, it would eliminate an already dangerous inter-
section of Lexington We and end Lexington Avenue, and eliminate
continuous unwanted traffic.
Most of us have been residents for over thirty years, and des-
erve consideration from you who are elected to serve us.
Please think this over seriously and we will see you all on
Tuesday August Ist.

VACATION/DIFFLEY ROAD
E: Vacate Abandoned County Right -of -Way (Diffley Road Frontage
Road - West of Pilot Knob Road --With the upgrading of Pilot Knob
Road and Diffley Road and the relocation of their intersection
approximately 75' to the north, there is a portion of the old
Diffley-Road alignment west of Pilot Knob Road that is turned back
to the City's jurisdiction. The old Diffley Road roadbed was
retained with the intentions of that being a private drive
servicing the existing five property owners as a private frontage
road. The City has been working with the property owners to assist
them in preparing and entering into a private maintenance agreement
with related cross easements. The property owners have expressed
a desire to vacate the turnback portion of this county right-of-
way in conjunction with the execution of the private maintenance
and cross easement,agreements.
n
Unfortunately, the legal description for the cross easement private
maintenance agreement was inadvertently used for the public notice
advertisement of the larger county turnback vacation description
to be considered under this public hearing. Subsequently, it is
recommended that this public hearing be continued to September 5
to allow staff to, readvertise and renotify everybody with the
correct legal descriptions of the vacation.

(612) 291.6359
DATE: May 19, 1989
TO: Metropolitan and Community Development Committee
FROM: Richard' Thompson Comprehensive Planning (291-6457)
SUBJECT: City of Eagan Guide Plan Amendment
Park Center Addition
Metropolitan Council Referral 14721-3'
Metropolitan District 15
INTRODUCTION
The City of Eagan transmitted a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment submission for the
Park Center Addition located at the northwest corner of Cliff Road and Cliff Lake Road. The
amendment involved changing the land use designation of the subject property to CPD,
Commercial Planned Development, from D-111, Mixed Residential (6-12 units/acre). The
proposed uses include a restaurant, ,retail strip center, a retail building and a bank.
F i V 't' 1 VJ15M
The Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976 requires that amendments to local comprehensive
plans be prepared; submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and adopted in the same
manner as the original' plans (Minn. Stat. 473.864, subd. 2, 1978). Guidelines adopted pursuant
to Minn. Stat. 473.864 for reviewing proposed amendments provide a 90 -day review period for
amendments potentially affecting one or more of the metropolitan systems and a 60 -day review
periodfor amendments that do not have a potential impact on metropolitan systems.
The City, of Eagan submitted the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to the Metropolitan
Council on March 17, 1989. On March 27, the Chair determined that the amendment
constituted a major plan amendment which calls fora 90 -day review period The deadline is,
therefore, June 14, 1989.
ANALYSIS
The proposal driving the amendment change would allow development of a retail complex; Park
Center Addition, consisting of 161,900 sq. ft The project would include a Class 1 (sit down)
restaurant, a retail strip center, a clinic, a retail building, a bank and two two-story, 18,000 sq. ft.
office buildings. A portion of a city storm pond is located on the site. The northwest 6.10
acres of this site (see Map 1) is currently being appraised by the Dakota HRA for an elderly
housing project (the area identified for office building and clinic). If this site is chosen and
developed for .the elderly housing complex, only that portion of the project would change. The
elderly housing would ,accommodate 60 to 120 units.
Since this project is proposed in an area inside the MUSA and since ,the City of Eagan has
adequate metro sewer service available, there are no issues related to the MDIF, or the Water
Resources Management Plan of the Council. The proposed project will not impact plans for
regional recreation,open space; In addition, altering the land use designation of 13:5 acres will,
7Y
not have a negative impact on the mix of housing types available in Eagan. The amendment is
consistent with Council housing policy. There are no'impacts on metropolitan airport systems.
There are, however; 'impacts on the metropolitan transportation system, specifically the highway
system The proposed addition is located north of Cliff Road and west of Rahn Road.
Surrounding land uses include Rahn Park; a neighborhood ,park to the north, Cliff Lake Center
(Cub'Food Store and Target) to the east, the Dakota County court facility and drivers' testing
facility on,the south, and office buildings and single family homes to the west (see Map 2).
The proposed site is north of Cliff Road (CSAH 32) between Cedar Avenue and I735E; all
three roads are designated as principal arterials on the Metropolitan Highway System. This
section of CSAH 32 is four -lane and undivided. Two additional direct accesses to CSAR 32 are
proposed to serve this project. The first would be across from the existing ` drivers' license
facility entrance and would upgrade it to a signalized intersection with full traffic movements.
The second new access would, be a limited right-in/right-out from Park Center. A center, raised
median between I -35E and Cedar Avenue would be needed to make these access points
workable. (Typically, direct land accesses are inconsistent with the functional classification
criteria for principal arterials)
Concerns regarding the direct access to a metropolitan highway triggered a meeting with
representatives from the planning and engineering staffs of Dakota County and the City of
Eagan. Much of the discussion focused on the possibility of adding two lanes to CSAH 32; on
the function of CSAH 32 as a ,principal arterial, and that of CR 42, to the south, which may be
the more appropriate principal arterial. Dakota County indicated that the two new access
points on CSAH 32 would be workable if'a center median was provided. The County will
continue to work on its transportation plan to determine the most appropriate, east -west arterial.
The Council will help facilitate that decision.
In the meantime, the City will respondto the system statement recently sent to it by the
Council. Land use impacts on. CSAR 32 will be addressed as part of"its •system statement
response.
FINDINGS
The two access points proposed in conjunction with the Park Center Development are
acceptable if the raised center median is provided.
2. A need exists for a complete analysis of potential trip demands and, generation in other
quadrants of the I-35 and Cliff Road area.
RECOMMENDATIONS
That the Council adopt this report and findings as stated above as part of these
recommendations.
2. The Metropolitan Council should work with. Dakota County to determine the most
appropriate east -west principal arterial(s) through the County.
76
3. The Eagaq nsystem statement response should include adequate land use information to
determine if there will be significant traffic impacts in the vicinity, of CSAH'M, fr35E
and Cedar Avenue.

RE: Comprehensive Plan Review
City of Eagan
Park Center Addition
Metropolitan Council Referral' File No. 14721-3
Dear Mr. Hedges:
The Metropolitan Council considered the comprehensive plan amendment for the Park Center Addition
in Eagan at its. June 8 meeting. Ms. Kristy Marnin of the City called asking for clarification of the
Council's actions as stated in my letter to you dated, June 13.
That letter contained three recommendations adopted by the Council Those recommendations are as
follows:
1. That the Council adopt this report and fundings as stated in the report as part of these
recommendations.
2 The Metropolitan Council should work with Dakora ,County to determine the most appropriate east -
west principal arterial(s) through the County.
3. The Eagan, system,statement response should include adequate land use information to determine if
there, will be significant traffte impacts in the vicinity of CSAH 22, I -35E and Cedar Avenue.
To clarify, none of these recommendations are conditions of approval, rather they are intended to
stimulate progress on determination of .the appropriate east -west principal arterial, whether CSAH 32 or
42, and to emphasize the importance of projecting future traffic generation from the Cliff Road area.
This letter. therefore, constitutes plan amendment approval on the pan of the Council.
If you have any further questions on this issue, contact Richard Thompson of our staff (291.6457).
Sincerely,

APPLICANT: FEDERAL LAND COMPANY
LOCAT%ON: BE 1/4 SECTION 30
EXISTING ZONING: AG (AGRICULTURAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING': NOVEMBER 22, 1988
DATE OF REPORT: BOVEMBER 15, 1988
REPORTED BY: PLANNING 6 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted
to the City for the' Park Center Addition, an office/retail
complex consisting of approximately 175,000 square feet. The
first application is a request to rezone 21.25 acres of AG
(Agricultural) land to a Planned Development district. The
second application is for a Preliminary Plat consisting of six
lots to be developed in one phase. The Conditional Use Permit
application is for pylon signage only. The Comprehens'i've Guide
Plan designates this., area D -SII, Mixed Residential (6-12
units/acre); therefore, an Amendment will be necessary. This
proposal is located north of Cliff Road and west of Cliff Lake
Drive.
PROJECT SCOPE: The northwest 6-10 acres of this site is
currently being appraised by. the Dakota County HRA for an elderly
housing project. With that in mind, the applicant has placed
office buildings and a clinic in that area. If this site is
chosen and developed for the elderly housing complex, only that
portion of the project would change. The elderly housing would
probably initially begin with 60 units and increase to
potentially 120 units.
The following is a detailed breakdown of each lot. Specific
users have not been identified at this time:
Lot 1 .99 acres 4,500 sq.ft. Class 1 (sit down,) restaurant
Lot 2 9.8 acres 133,000 sq. ft.. retail strip center
Lot 3 1.1 acres 6,500 sq. ft. clinic
Lot 4 .95 acres ,6.,000 sq. ft. retail bldg.
Lot 5 .93 acres 4,800 sq. ft. bank
Lot 6 7.5 acres 2 - two story 18,000 sq. ft. office bldgs
('36,000 sq. ft.), a portion of a City storm
pond.
Q4
ZONING & LAND USE: Currently, this site consists primarily of
open grassland, generally falling to the northwest. Mature oaks
are found along the northern property line and near the pond on
the western portion of the site. If the proposed grading on the
north side of the pond was changed and some retaining walls were
used, some of these oaks could be saved. They would be a nice
amenity for either the office buildings or an elderly housing
area. Site sensitive grading along the northern property line is
necessary in order to preserve the landscape buffer to Rahn Park
abutting to the north.
Other adjacent uses are two office buildings and three single
family homes to the west, Cliff Lake Center to the east, the
Dakota County Court Facility, and Drivers Testing Facility on the
south.
SITE PLAN/CODE CONFORMANCE: Two major access points serve this
site - one that was constructed with the Cliff Lake Road
improvements and the other opposite the entrance to the Drivers
Training Facility. A third right in/right out near the center of
the site is proposed. The loop from the access on the west to
the right in/right out would be a dedicated City street serving
the office/elderly areas and three other lots.
Six hundred sixty four parking stalls are shown on the site plan.
The office area would require 202 stalls and 69 are shown with a
proof of parking area for 54 more. The retail strip center shows
443 stalls and Code requires 698 spaces. The four smaller uses
meet their parking requirements. The entire project provides 725
(plus or minus) spaces and Code requires 1,047 (plus or minus)
spaces.
This is a lot by lot breakdown:

NOTE: The elderly housing area would require one stall enclosed
and one exterior stall for each unit.
Since architectural plans have not been submitted, each free
standing building should be reviewed by the Advisory Planning
Commission and Council before the issuance of building permits.
The overall lot coverage is approximately 19%, and 30% would be
permitted in a CSC (Community Shopping Center) district on a
gross basis. All building and parking setbacks meet Code
requirements in this Preliminary Plat proposal.
102
ENVIRONMENTALS/FIRE & POLICE: An EAW (Environmental Assessment
Worksheet) will not be necessary and staff is currently in the
process of determining if their governmental permits are
necessary.
The Fire & Police Departments are aware of these plans and staff
has not received any specific comments regarding major unresolved
issues. The detailed review would occur with the typical
platting and building permit procedures.
PARK CONCERNS/SITE AESTHETICS: The parks department has also
expressed that the trees by the pond and northern property line
are valuable both on and off site. Every attempt to save as many
as possible should be demonstrated through careful grading plan
preparation and in the field marking.
The overall landscaping plan works well conceptually, however
more screening of the back of the strip center from the park will
be necessary.
An overall sign agreement would eliminate any further undue
Variances and provide a more uniform development. This has been
working well with the Town Centre development.
n
MI0
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The proposed grading plan
submitted as a part of this application impacts virtually 95% of
the existing topography on this site. When taking into
consideration the additional parking areas as identified along
the northwesterly property line, the grading virtually impacts
99% of the proposed site.
The proposed grading plan shows cut areas of 10' - 12'+/- in the
southeasterly area of the site, in the southcentral portion of
the site and in the southwesterly portion of this site. Fill
areas ranging from 4' - 5'+/- in the center of this site, 14' +/-
northerly of the proposed retail center and areas of 20'+/- along
the easterly side of the proposed ponding area in the southwest
corner of the site are proposed.
Along the westerly boundary of the development, the City recently
constructed the outlet to Pond AP -50 under Project 452. Pond AP -
50 is a designated ponding area in the City of Eagan's
Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. The grading plan proposes to add
additional material on top of the existing 15" outlet to Pond AP -
50. The existing outlet pipe is not of sufficient strength class
to handle the additional fill which the development proposes to
deposit on top of it.
The details of the proposed storm sewer system within the parking
lot areas and the street were not reviewed at this time but
generally appears adequate. The general drainage areas as
designated to Pond AP -50 and Pond AP -25 (ponding area adjacent
to Cliff Lake development) are acceptable. Both ponding areas
are designated in the City's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan to
receive runoff from the proposed development.
The grading plan as proposed requires the replacement of
approximately 150' of 15" Class 5 RCP with 150' of a 4,000 D Load
Class 15" RCP. The development is responsible for the
replacement of the existing Class 5 RCP with 4000 D Load Class
RCP or modifying the grading plan to provide a maximum of 22' of
cover from the invert of the existing RCP to the finished grade
for the outlet to Pond AP -50.
The main water resource issue for this site is the impact of the
development on the downstream water quality. As previously
mentioned, 10.15 acres of the site will drain directly to Pond
AP -25 and 11.1 acres will drain into the proposed Pond AP -50.
Water flowing into Pond AP -50 is then routed to Pond AP -49 (which
is in Rahn Park) and from there flows into the outflow from Pond
AP -25. The Eagan Park Department has requested that Pond AP -49
be classified as a Type 3 Wildlife/Aesthetic waterbody.
Historical data indicates that Pond AP -49 presently meets desired
water quality standards for a Type 3 waterbody. Maintaining
predevelopment phosphorous runoff to Pond AP -49, therefore, will
prevent degradation of the existing water quality in the
downstream waterbodies.
Development of the Park Center site will increase phosphorous
runoff by approximately 42 pounds per year. The model estimates
that predevelopment phosphorous runoff to Pond AP -49 can be
91
maintained by constructing a wet pond volume of approximately 4
acre feet in Pond AP -50. In addition, phosphorus loadings to
Pond AP -49 can be further reduced by designing the ponding areas
proposed south of Cliff Road to act as nutrient detention basins
also.
An incomplete erosion and sediment control plan was submitted as
a part of this preliminary plat application. An erosion and
sediment control plan, reviewed and approved by City staff, is
required before a grading permit is issued or final plat
approval addressing the following additional concerns:
1. A temporary berm is recommended behind the retail center to
prevent drainage from going over the proposed 2:1 fill
slope.
2. The 2:1 slope as proposed is required to be a maximum slope
of 3:1 with a 4:1 slope preferred.
3. The retaining wall proposed by Pond AP -50 is required to be
at least V above the 100 year high water level. All slopes
are required not to exceed 3:1 around the ponding area.
4. Specifications for seeding and mulching the site should be
included in the plan. We recommend that all disturbed areas
be seeded and mulched within two weeks after rough grading.
5. The site map should identify all ingress and egress points
for the site. A rock construction entrance pad will be
necessary at ingress and egress points to minimize tracking
of mud by vehicles onto the existing paved surfaces.
6. Silt curtains must be properly installed before any land
disturbance occurs.
7. The revegetation of all areas disturbed by utility
construction must be addressed in the erosion and sediment
control plan.
B. Maintenance of erosion and sediment control measures should
be included in the erosion and sediment control plan.
9. The company/individual responsible for maintaining and
removing all erosion and sediment control practices should
be included in the plan.
10. Storm sewer inlet filters will be needed around the catch
basins.
11. All storm sewers outletting into waterbodies should be
adequately protected to prevent scouring from occuring at
the outlet.
12. Identify on the plan where topsoil will be stockpiled.
Stockpile can be strategically stockpiled to prevent
sediment from entering wetlands and adjacent property.
13. A site narrative should be included on the plan which shows
schedule for rough grading, installing utilities,
revegetating the site, building construction, curb and
gutter, and blacktopping. These schedules impact erosion
and sediment control requirements.
UTILITIES: Trunk sanitary sewer of sufficient capacity and depth
to serve this site is readily available along Cliff Road and
Cliff Lake Road. Sanitary sewer lateral extensions and
individual service lines are adequately proposed to service the
proposed development. The details of the proposed lateral
extensions were not reviewed at this time, but generally conform
to City standards.
Watermain service of sufficient capacity and pressure is readily
available from the existing trunk water main in Cliff Road and
has been stubbed to the easterly property line of the development
as a part of the Cliff Lake Centre development. The development
is proposing an internal utility system (water and sanitary
sewer) which would provide service to all proposed platted
parcels. Details of the proposed internal utility system and how
it connects to the existing City system is subject to detail
review at the time of the final plat.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION:Public street access has been provided
to the site along its easterly boundary with the Cliff Lake
Centre development. As far as the proposed accesses to Cliff
Road are concerned, the County has taken a stand that they will
not approve any access points along Cliff Road until a detailed
traffic impact study is done for the entire Cliff Road area.
Comments concerning the Cliff Road access points and the
proposed internal public street will be deferred until a detailed
traffic study is done along Cliff Road. (See attached letter.)
Although the site plans are preliminary, the following concerns
are identified relating to internal traffic circulation:
1. Driving aisles in the parking areas are required to be a
minimum of 24' wide.
2. Entrances from public right-of-way and internal roadways are
required to be 30' wide minimum.
3. The clinic parking lot area has no turn around area at its
northerly end.
4. Minimum curb radius for the entrances are required to be
25'.
5. Except for the retail center, the other proposed site
development areas are unclear as to identifying areas for
delivery vehicles and trash pick up circulation.
6. There should be two lanes of approach to the drive-in bank
which allows access to the south parking lot and areas for
stacking.
7. The office building/clinic and bank/retail entrances should
be combined.
8. The additional parking shown north of the retail center will
be difficult to build (existing topo is approximately 28'
lower than the proposed retail center parking lot grades).
9. A minimum 80' right-of-way is needed for a divided roadway
type entrance as proposed.
The site plan reviewed by the City's traffic consultant included
approximately 46,500 square feet of additional shopping
center/retail development more than the 86,600 square feet
acknowledged in the applicant's traffic analysis. As a result,
the traffic volume forecast provided by the applicant is
substantially less than the traffic volume projections identified
by the City's traffic consultant.
In summary, the major concern with the site is access to Cliff
Road. Without the access point/points identified, further
6omments relating to the site plan configuration of streets and
parking areas and traffic projection revisions are premature.
EASEMENTS/PERMITS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY: Sufficient right-of-way for
Cliff Lake Road was provided with the development of the Cliff
Lake Centre. The requirements for right-of-way along CLiff Road
are subject to requirements as identified in a detailed traffic
study for Cliff Road which has been requested by the County.
A ponding easement will be required for Pond AP -50 to accommodate
storage volume and high water elevations as identified in the
City of Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. All internal
utility easements will be required for sanitary sewer, storm
sewer and water main facilities servicing multiple properties and
those which provide continuity to the City's trunk facility
system.
The development is required to acquire all regulatory agency
permits in the appropriate time frame as required by the affected
agency.

RE: PARK CENTER
Dear Mr. Colbert:
(612) 431.1153
APPLE VALLEY. MINNESOTA 55124
November 3, 1988
1The Dakota County Plat Commission met on October 31, 1988, to
consider the preliminary plat of PARK CENTER. Said plat is
adjacent to C.S.A.H. NO. 32 and is, therefore, subject to the
Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance.
This development will have significant impacts on C.S.A.H. NO. 32
and the adjacent driveways 'and city streets. This section of
C.S.A.H. NO. 32 is not in the 5 year CIP, however, preliminary
traffic studies indicate that the road will have to be built in
the future as a 6 lane divided highway. County right of way
guidelines for a 6 land divided highway require 100 feet of half
right of way. The two access drives proposed do not meet the
County spacing guidelines for the existing road. The Plat
Commission would agree that this site could need access onto
C.S.A.H. NO. 32. Due to the frontage length and proximity to
existing streets, it may be desirous for access to be provided by
development of a city street.
For a divided highway, such as should probably be considered by
the County and City for this segment, the County Plat Commission
would recommend a full access to a public street at 1/4 mile
spacing (near the west end of the property) and a right in -right
out access to a public street at 1/8 mile spacing. This prospect
would have ramifications on -the access allowed at Scott Trail and
Cliff Drive.
It also seemsappropriate to review the existing driveways on the
south side of C1iff'Road with respect to development of a future
public street and the location of median openings.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNRY EMPLOYER .
� •t
The Plat Commission believes that -.the City and _County at this
time should evaluate these issues in conjunction with approval of
the proposed development. The Plat Commission proposes to
jointly participate in a study of this segment to develop a
project to reconstruct this roadway. If recommendation from a
study can be approved by both the City. and County,_, the Plat
Commission will recommend approval of a plat consistent with
'those recommendations.

RE: Traffic Study for Proposed Park Center Development
The purpose of this memorandum 15 to document the results of
our traffic study for your proposed Park Center development,
which is located in the northwest corner of Cliff Road and
Cliff Lake Road. As requested by City staff, the two prime
purposes of this traffic study have been:
To develop and present forecasts for the traffic that
will be generated by this development
To assess whether the public roadway system will be
able to adequately accommodate the development traffic
TRAFFIC FORECASTS
The first step in the traffic forecasting process Is to
quantify the types and amount of land use in the
development. As we understand. the prime development
component will be a shopping center with about
86,600 sq. ft. The plan also provides five additional
development parcels. We understand that prime candidates
for four of the parcels are restaurant. retail, bank and
clinic. The plan indicates that the fifth parcel would have
an office use, though it is possible that the parcel may be
developed instead with senior housing.
The specific sizes of developments on these five parcels
have not yet been determined. From a traffic forecasting
standpoint, our approach has been to assume that each of
these parcels will be developed to about the maximum density
allowed under City Code parking provisions. An outcome of
this assumption is that the sizes of several uses as
utilized for traffic forecasting purposes are larger than
illustrated in the development site plan. Specifically, for
traffic forecasting purposes, it has been assumed that the
development will consist of the following components:
/a ?
Mr. Martin Colon -2- November 4. 1988
Shoppi'ng Center - 86,600 sq. ft..
Restaurant - 4.,000 sq. ft..
Retail - 6,000 sq. ft.
Bank - 4,500 sq'. ft.
Office - 36,000 sq. ft.
Clinic - 7,000 sq. ft.
It should be noted that trip generation for the overall
development li'ke'ly will be lower if senior housing is
developed instead of the office component.
The next step is to apply appropriate trip generation
characteristics to these development statistics in order to
project the number of new veh'l.cle trips that the development
will add to the roadway system. These trip generation
projections were developed for the p.m. peak hour, the
busiest traffic ,period on the adjacent roadways, through the
following three-step process:
1) Apply expected trip generation ratesl to each
development component in order to predict the p.m.
peak hour volumes in and out of each individual
component.
2) Apply a five percent reduction factor to the sum of
the values from step 1) In order to estimate the p.m.
peak hour volume in and out of the entire
development. The reduction factor is to account for
trips between two uses in the development which would
not utilize either Cliff Road or Cliff Lake Road.
31) Categorize the trip generation result from step 2')
into pass by trips and new trips. The document
entitled "Trip Generation," published by the
Institute of.Transportation Engineers Indicates that
a major phenomenon of new shopping centers is that a•
significant portion of their traffic"is pass by
trips:,, trips that already are on adjacent roadways
and that wil"1 be Intercepted to include a stop at the
new shopping -center. Based on the size of this
shopping center, Figure V-1 in the "Trip Generati-on"
report indicates that at least 40 percent of the
shopping center trips will be pass by trips. The
remaining 60 percent of the external shopping center
trips are expected to be new trips that are not now
traveling on adjacent roadways.
Through the above process, the trip generation projections
shown in Table 1 have been developed. A major ,result in
Table l is that the entire Park Center development is

Mr..Martin Colon -4- November 4, 1988
projected trip generation is 27 percent less than the,750
trips that were assumed to be generated by this property In
the Cliff Lake Galleria Traffic Study conducted for the
City.
The next step is to project the directional distribution of
the development trips. The trip distribution percentages
presented In the Cliff Lake Gallerla Traffic Study were
utilized as an initial source of distribution for new trips
generated by this development. Those trip distribution
percentages were adjusted slightly to account for the
expectations that this development, due to more local
character, will attract a greater portion of trips from the
west and north. The resultant expected distribution of new
trips to/from this development is as follows:
to/from north on Cliff Lake Road - 25%
tl to/from east on Cliff Road - 50%
to/from west on Cliff Road - 25%
The pass by trips are expected to have a different
directional distribution pattern. Based on the relationship
of the development to major traffic streams, the estimated
distributions of pass by trips is as follows:
from
east on
Cliff
Rd. to
west
on Cliff

30%

The next step is to apply the preceding trip generation
results and trip distribution percentages for.new and pass
by trips, in conjunction with expected usage by driveway, to
develop p.m. peak hour development traffic forecasts. The
resultant forecasts are presented in Figure 1.' As indicated
In Figure 1, pass by trips actually have the effect of
reducing particular through volumes.
IMPLICATIONS OF DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC ON ROADWAY SYSTEM
Relating to the p.m. peak hour volume projections shown in
Figure 1, the implications of development traffic at key
locations will be discussed next.

this Intersection. With two lanes for exiting traffic
and a left turn lane for entering traffic, this
intersection will effectively accommodate the
development traffic.
Intersection of Cliff Road and Cliff Lake Road. As
noted in the "Cliff Lake Gallerla Traffic Study," this
intersection will experience a substantial traffic
increase. To accommodate this growth, a major
upgrading.pfoject was undertaken, Including widening
and traffic signal control. Since the net new trips
generated by the proposed development are lower than
the site volumes assumed in the "Cliff Lake Galleria
Traffic Study," the proposed Park Center development
will have less effect on traffic operations at this
intersection.
Number and location of access points on Cliff Road.
The proposed site plan indicates that the development
would have two access points on Cliff Road
- full access at a location opposite from the
Driver's License Exam Facility (about 1150 feet
west of Cliff Lake Road)
- right turn in and out only access located about
410 feet east of the full access point
Given the close relationship of the above access
points to the County's spacing standards and given the
advantages of having a full access point also
available to serve the Driver's License Exam Facility,
the County Plat Commission recently approved these two
proposed access points on Cliff Road. The Plat
Commission expressed concern about the existing four
lane undivided design of Cliff Road along the frontage
of this development. in this context, they mentioned
two further points:
- that a need exists to upgrade this segment of
Cliff Road to an ultimate six lane divided
design. The segment that presently does not
have a raised median is only about 1/2 mite in
length (from about 600 feet east of Nicols Rd.
to 600 feet east of Cliff Lake Road).
- That an access permit for the right turn in and
out access point will not be issued until a
median is constructed on Cliff Road.
We concur that upgrading of this segment of Cliff
Road, including a raised median, is needed to resolve
the existing 1/2 mile gap in the divided design. Such
upgrading should include left turn lanes at the
proposed full access point. in conjunction with the
Park Center development it is expected that traffic
signal control will be warranted at the full access

An important point regarding the upgrading of Cliff Road is
to coordinate, as best possible, the schedule for this
upgrading together with the schedule for completion of the
development. To this end, we recommend that Federal Land
Company undertake a joint effort with the County and City to
implement the needed improvements to Cliff Road by 1990.
County staff have given a preliminary indi.catlon that some

MEMO TO: DALE C RUNKLE, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
FROM: THOMAS A COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: FEBRUARY 3. 1989,
SUBJECT: PARK CENTER PRELIMINARY PLAT
AMENDMENT TO STAFF REPORT (NOVEMBER 15, 1988)
RESULTS OF ACCESS/TRAFFIC IMPACT EVALUATION
At the November Planning Commission meeting, the above -referenced
proposed preliminary 'plat was considered based on information
submitted
submitted and a staff report prepared evaluating the proposal.
Subsequent to that application being considered by the Council,
additional information was also requested pertaining to a study
for driveway/street access onto Cliff Road and the traffic impact
of this development on the Cliff Road corridor. Each of these
issues is addressed in this memo as follows:
STAFF REPORT AMENDMENT
As a part of the Engineering, Division's review of this proposal,
a detailed analysis was done on the water quality and quantity
runoff from this development. While the original submittals
indicated that approximately 3.5 acres of the northeast corner of
the proposed Park Center Addition would be directly tributary to
Pond AP -25 within the Cliff Lake Center Addition, staff indicated
that there was additional capacity available to accommodate more
direct surface runoff. Subsequently, continued analysis of this
situation indicates that it would be better to have the, majority
of the Park Center development discharge its surface water runoff
into Pond AP -50 located adjacent to the west boundary of the Park
Center development. Approximately 3.5 acres of direct surface
runoff from Park Center could still discharge into the Cliff Lake
Galleria pond (,AP -.25) but it should be minimized as much as
practical. Therefore, this memo constitutes an amendment to the
previous staff's report for consideration of this application.
CLIFF ROAD ACCESS/TRAFFIC IMPACT EVALUATION
During the review of the preliminary plat by the Dakota County
Plat Commission, concerns were. expressed regarding the proposed
full access on the west end and the limited right -turn only
access approximately mid -point for this development. They had
recommended that an access study be performed for Cliff Road
between I -35E and, the Cedar Freeway. This study was completed by
the City and County's joint traffic consultant, Glenn Van Wormer.
An executive summary of that study and the analysis is attached
to this memo.
Also; the traffic engineer's review of the original application
material creates some concerns regarding the traffic generation
pe
DALE C RUNKLE

from this site. These traffic volume concerns were a result of
confusion over the size of the retail facility. After receiving
the corrected information regarding the proper size of the
development, those original concerns have been alleviated.
In summary, the proposed development will not generate any
traffic problems that cannot be handled by the proposed accesses
to Cliff Road or Cliff Lake Drive subject to the anticipated
upgrading of Cliff Road from 35-E to the Cedar Freeway. It is
anticipated that Cliff Road will probably be upgraded to a 6 -lane
roadway with channelization and signalization at critical
intersections in the future. The timing will be depended upon
the proposed development schedule of Park Cliff and other
properties within the travel shed. The best projections indicate
that the need for this Cliff Road improvement would be within the
next 2-4 years.
With the proposed full access and limited right-in/right-out from
Park Center, certain concerns are raised regarding the ability to
handle the anticipated turning movements from Cliff Road to the
full access interchange at the westerly end of the Park Center
development as well as ensuring that the limited access is
restricted to right turns only. This may necessitate the
upgrading of Cliff Road prior to allowing the connection of these
proposed accesses.
INTERNAL CIRCULATION
The traffic consultant and myself have had several meetings with
the' developer's traffic Engineer regarding the internal
circui.ation and site plan layout. Because the proposed users
have not been selected yet, the detailed design of the site plan
and related circulation cannot be refined to a level of detail
necessary to address all concerns. Therefore, it is more
appropriate at this time to evaluate the impact of the overall
development and ability of the adjacent transportation system to
handle the proposed traffic volumes and to leave the internal
circulation and site plan review as a part of the building permit
process. As a whole, the concept layout is workable subject to
minor modifications that can be addressed with the site plan
review during the building permit process.
SUMMARY
In summary, Condition #13 of the previous staff report should be
revised to reflect the potential change based on the final
grading and drainage plan for this development. The revision
proposed is as follows:
DALE C RUNKLE
PAGE 3
This development is required to provide approximately 4-6
acre feet ,of wet pond storage volume below the proposed
normal water level for Pond AP -50.
This development shall comply with all requirements of the
County Highway Department pertaining to the proposed
accesses to Cliff Road,.
If any additional information or further clarification regarding
these issues would be helpful, please let me know.

EXECUTIVE StRWARY
CLIFF ROAD: ACCESS STUDY
JANUARY 12, 1989
Prepared for
City of Eagan
M.
SHORT-ELLIOTT-HENDRICESON, INC.
Executive Summary
Background Information
Cliff Road currently carries a relatively high volume of traffic
which is anticipated to increase rapidly with the proposed
development now taking place. Currently a raised median is in
place between Nicola Road and Cliff Drive. A second median is in
place from I 35E to the west terminating east' of Rahn Road. A
painted left turn lane -exists in both directions at Rahn.Road.
Access from the; north is limited to Cliff Drive, Scott Trail, and
two proposed entrances from the proposed Park Center. These
entrances have not yet been approved by Dakota County. Several
access points exist on the south side. A joint, driveway to the
Flour Bin Restaurant and Rocky Rococo operates as a right turn
only driveway near Nicola Road. A radio station driveway exists
just east of the end of the median near CliffDrive;. The driver
testing range has full access at its 'dri'veway. There is also a.
driveway to the Auto Mall between Rahn Road and 135E. This is
restricted" to right turns in and right turns out although
outbound leftturn violations are noticeable.
The County guidelines for spacing of access locations and median
openings indicate the potential for one median opening between
Rahn Road and Nicola Road. Any change would require a variance.
Operational -Analysis
As part of the study, development along Cliff Road was reviewed
and traffic generation for each business was determined. The
traffic anticipated was then placed onto the street system and
turning movements constructed at each of the access points onto
Cliff Road. As an, example,, there are approximately 95' eastbound
left turns to Cliff Drive and 75 left turns out of Cliff Drive in
the evening peak hour. This was done for existing buildings and
for the proposed Park Center development.
��9
Once the volumes and distributions were complete, three different
concepts were studied in detail and other concepts were reviewed
in less detail. The three major concepts considered were a
single median opening and full access at Scott Trail, a full
access at the proposed Park Center west driveway and full
accesses at both the Park Center proposed west entrance and Cliff
Drive. For each option studied, the impact of diverting traffic
onto adjacent intersections was considered along with the.
inconvenience to individual motorists.
If a single access point is provided at Scott Trail, all traffic
associated with eastbound Cliff Road and the proposed Park Center
would be forced to utilize the Rahn Road intersection and the
access from Park Center onto Cliff Lake Drive. The volumes are
heavy' enough to create operational problems on Cliff Lake, Drive
in terms of northbound left turn lane storage and may result in
outbound Park Center traffic delays. The concept would also
force the Cliff Drive traffic to utilize one of three routes to
access eastbound Cliff Road: 1) Cliff Drive to Nicola Road, 2)
cut thru the shopping center and access Nicols Drive next to the
Tom Thumb store, or 3) make a right turn from Cliff Drive to
Cliff Road and a u -turn at Nicole Road. While diverting traffic
(option 1,) from- Cliff Drive to Nicola Road will operate
satisfactorily, we believe the other two options would be more
heavily utilized and thus could create congestion on ,Nicola Road
at the Tom Thumb entrance or operational problems within the two
shopping areas.
Placing a single median opening at ,the proposed Park Center
entrance would create similar operating problems for the Cliff
Lake Drive traffic. The only change is that Scott Trail traffic
would now likely cut thru the shopping center west of Scott Trail
to reach Cliff Drive and access to Nicola Road. U-turns at.
Nicola Road would probably be increased. Traffic on Scott Trail
thru the residential area to the north would also increase.
lAU
The concept of a double median opening with one median opening at
Cliff Drive and the second at the proposed Park Center entrance
would alleviate many of the operational problems. The traffic
primarily effected would be that on Scott Trail. Commercial
traffic may be rerouted to the north thru the residential area or
may cut thru a shopping center to the west or make a u -turn at
the Cliff Drive median opening. With the close proximity of the
median opening, ,we anticipated much of the traffic would divert
to either u -turns or cutting thru the adjacent center. However,
residential traffic originating in the north Scott Trail area
would probably use the alternate route to Nicola :Road reducing
the traffic volume on Scott Trail at Cliff Road. Access from
properties to the south would be better served by the two median
openings. The accessto the .radio station could continue as is
because of the small volume, or could be relocated to line up with
Cliff Drive if the property owners wish to do this. It would be
desirable to relocate because of the potential for westbound
traffic to attempt to make an illegal left turn into the radio
station driveway by traveling a short distance the wrong way.
Implementation
Implementation of the proposed recommendation is dependent upon
approval from the. ,City of Eagan and. Dakota County. Extension of
the median from the end of the current median near 35E to Rahn
Road is desirable to provide better direction to motorists at
Rahn Road and, to prevent illegal left turns from the existing
Auto Mall driveway. The development of the Park Center proposal
would also make it desirable to extend the median along the Park
Center frontage past the easterly driveway to Cliff Road, if the
driveway is approved. Left turn lane development at the proposed
Park Center would also be desirable and installation of a median
would define the area. Full medians should. be in place prior to
any development on the south side.
It therefore appears desirabl& to install medians concurrently
with the development of the proposed Park Center site. The
1,Z f
median extension west from I 35E to Rahn Road can be constructed
earlier as part of .the widening and channelization on Rahn Road
south of Cliff Road in conjunction with the Rahn -Cliff
development.
Ultimately CliffRoad will need to be widened to three lanes in
each direction. . A design decision should be made relative to
timing of the major improvement and installation of the turn
lanes. It may be desirable to attempt to install permanent
center- turn lanes and medians with ultimate widening on the
outside. However this may be 'a difficult design depending upon
existing road surface, and base considerations and drainage
considerations. The ultimate widening of Cliff Road is also very
dependent upon widening of the bridge at I 35E and the potential
need for widening the bridges over 'Cedar Avenue.
It is recommended that the City adopt the, concept of a raised
median between Cedar Avenue and I 35E with openings at Nicole
Road, Cliff Drive, the westerly proposed Park Center driveway and
Rahn Road. This concept can be submitted to Dakota County and if
they concur, implementation details can be further considered.

RE: FEBRUARY 7, 1989 CITY COUNCIL PACKET INFORMATION
ITEM E - COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT - PARK CENTER
Staff has been working with the Dakota County Housing Authority
regarding preparation of a site layout. On the seven acres, we
are showing approximately an 80 -unit three story apartment with
underground parking for 40 vehicles. There is some room for
expansion if the additional one acre parcel to the east is
purchased. The question arises as to the setback required from
the retail to the residential. It would be staff's suggestion
that the retail building setback be moved further east if the
City acquires this additional one acre parcel.
aCity staff has met with Mr. Erkkila of Westwood Planning to
review tree surveys and revised landscape plans. The tree survey
included all trees over 6" in size and some revised plans have
been drawn to save as many trees as possible. This is a detailed
item and if, in fact, the Council elects to rezone the property,
this detail can then be worked out as to the best site plan which
will mitigate the grading and impacts on park property to the
north.
In reviewing the timing for acquisition of property for the HRA,
I have contacted Mr. Mark Ulfers. The time frame to acquire the
property is as follows:
The City received the funds to acquire a senior housing
site in April 1988. It is my understanding the City has
through April 1990 to acquire this elderly senior site,
leaving a little over a year before funds would be
forfeited or problems arise with acquisition of this
site. From time of acquisition, the City then has
approximately two years before construction or housing
should begin. This step of the process has not even
been thought of as to the type of construction that will
occur; this will begin upon site acquisition.
Hopefully, this updates you on the timing and scheduling for the
Park Center senior site. Enclosed is a schematic indicating how
a building could fit on this site, knowing we have capabilities
of placing an 80 -unit facility on this site with possible
expansion if the City elects to acquire or meet with the senior
housing committee, or City Council committee, to begin the site
design process. If you desire additional information, please
feel free to contact me.

ION MEMBERS
At the May Advisory Planning Commission meeting, this item was
continued and staff was directed to observe the site conditions and
note items that do not meet City standards. These items are listed
below and the original staff report has been attached for your
review. .
1) The parking lot does not have a 2,0' setback along the public
streets. In some areas, especially •along Rahn Road, it
encroaches into the right-of-way. It does not have concrete
curb and needs new striping,.
a
2) Additional plant material for screening the parking area would
be desirable,, especially along•Rahn Road. However, it is not
current City policy to allow planting within the right-of-way.
Also, there are overhead electrical wires in this area; only
understory trees and shrubs could be planted'.
3') 'The trash containers are not enclosed. They should be
enclosed in a structure attached to the building and
constructed of the same materials as the building•. (This is
very noticeable on the liquor store lot.)
4) The liquor store lot is in need of•a general cleanup. Mowing_,
shrub trimming, and parking lot sweeping should�be done•on a
regular•basis.
From an aesthetic standpoint, the area in most need of attention•
is the liquor store lot.. The retail building, while technically
not meeting setback and curbing requirements, is in good general
condition.

EXISTING BONING: COC (COMMUNITY SHOPPING CENTER)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 23, 1989
DATE OF REPORT: MAY 17, 1989
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY
In application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary Plat for
the Stryker Addition, consisting of two lots on 3.8 acres located
along Rahn Road and Beau De Rue Drive. These lots contain the Big
Top Liquor Store and the Cedarvale Highlands building that were
constructed in the early 1970's and have commercial uses on the
street level and apartments above them. The original goal of the
applicant was to split off the liquor store area so it could be
sold as an individual tax parcel.
Before the county would authorize the split of the existing parcel,
the City would have to either require platting or approve the
waiver of plat process. Staff recommended platting since the
liquor store lot has been developed to its maximum potential.
However, upon further review and with legal counsel agreement,
staff is recommending that only the liquor store lot be platted at
this time and that a new meets -and -bounds survey be submitted for
the remaining area. This will separate the ownership of the liquor
store from the partnership that controls the residential/commercial
building. Since the land use is not changing and no expansion or
site modifications are proposed, no site improvements have been
requested. However, at the time changes are proposed, the City
would look to upgrade the site conditions and bring the area up to
current code requirements.

CONDITIONS
1.) All applicable standard plat conditions shall be adhered to.
2) A survey of the residual unplatted area shall be submitted
with the final plat submission for the parcel file.

D.C.R. COMPANY - STRYKER ADDITION
Chairman Pawlenty convened the public hearing regarding a
preliminary plat consisting of two lots on 3.88 Community Shopping
Center zoned acres with existing buildings located at the south
intersection of Beau D'Rue Drive and Rahn Road in the northeast
quarter of Section 19.
City Planner Jim Sturm introduced the application to the
Commission. City Attorney Mike Dougherty informed the Commission that
the property was divided north and south and owned by separate
entities. He stated the platting ramifications had not fully been
investigated and that staff would work with the developer prior to
the Council review.
Dave Grannis (attorney for applicant) reported there was no need
for a cross parking easement, that only ingress and egress easements
were necessary. Mr. Sturm agreed.
Commissionmember Miller suggested the addition of a condition
requiring the applicant to meet current standards. Mr. Dougherty
stated it was a clean-up process.
Chairman Pawlenty asked if expansion would ever occur.
Commissionmember Miller stated the City should take advantage of the
opportunity. Mr. Sturm stated a condition could be added to require
an upgrade if the use changed. Commissionmember Trygg commented that
the new owner would then bear the expense. Chairman Pawlenty asked
what type of changes would be needed. Mr. Sturm responded curb,
gutterandlandscaping would be required. Commissionmember Miller
suggested continuing the matter to allow the developer to propose
changes that were feasible.
Mr. Grannis pointed out that the property was presently
developed and that space was limited. He further stated the developer
was willing to listen to alternatives but had no suggestions. He
reported there was no objection to a continuance to the next meeting
to allow the developer to work with the staff. Commissionmember
Voracek was in favor of a continuance.
Commissionmember Gorman asked if only the liquor store could
have additional conditions. Mr. Sturm responded that staff would
investigate the matter. There was further discussion regarding
platting versus waiver of plat.
Voracek moved, Gorman seconded, the motion to close the public
hearing and to continue to the June 27, 1989, Advisory Planning
Commission meeting a preliminary plat request consisting of 'two lots
on 3.88 Community Shopping Center zoned acres with existing builoings
located at the south intersection of Beau D'Rue Drive and Rahn Road

should be killed, that the shrubs were growing wild and that some
were dead, and that grass should be planted.
l/EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING
June 27, 1989
Chairman Pawlenty stated it was a good opportunity for the
City to act. He stated the setback could be an exception and
questioned if it was a hardship.
Commissionmember Voracek remarked the parking surface should
be brought back into the property line and out of the right-of-way.
Commissionmember Merkley reported that the parking is not very
abundant in that area.
Chairman Pawlenty stated the Commission could approve the
application with conditions. He questioned how the City could
enforce the permit on an on-going basis. City Planner Jim Sturm
explained the City's procedure for monitoring compliance.
Attorney Grannis stated that the City already had ordinances
to cover the conditions. He reported that the liquor store was
subject to a long term lease and that the owner did not have
control but rather the tenant did. He objected to the discussed
conditions. He stated the ground was fully developed.
Commissionmember Merkley responded that the owner should have
control over its tenants. Commissionmember Graves commented that
the property should look decent. Chairman Pawlenty reported that
the objections of the developer were noted.
Commissionmember Hoeft asked how the cross parking easement
would work on the site. Mr. Sturm explained.
Voracek moved, Hoeft seconded, the motion to close the public
hearing and approve a preliminary plat consisting of two lots on
3.88 Community Shopping Center zoned acres with existing buildings
located at the south intersection of Beau D'Rue Drive and Rahn Road
in the northeast quarter of Section 19 (Stryker Addition), as
requested by D C R Company, subject to the following conditions:
1. All applicable standard plat conditions shall be adhered to.
2. A survey of the residual unplatted area shall be submitted
with the final plat submission for the parcel file.
3. Cross ingress/egress and parking easements shall be
submitted with the final plat.
4. The parking lot shall have a 20 foot setback along the
public streets and shall be resurfaced and striped and shall have
concrete curbs.
5. The current overgrown shrubbery shall be trimmed, removed
or replaced. Understory trees and shrubs should be planted to
screen the parking area.

6. The trash containers should be enclosed in a structure
attached to the building and constructed of similar materials as
the building. The back wall and the air conditioning units should
be covered and the ice cooler should be removed.
7. The liquor store lot should be cleaned, the weeds removed
and it should be either seeded or sodded.
B. The adjoining parking lot should be resurfaced and striped.
All voted in favor.
Attorney Grannis requested specific standards for the
requirements. Chairman Pawlenty informed Mr. Grannis that staff
would provide the standards.
DUCKWOOD CROSSINGS, INC. - DUCKWOOD CROSSINGS
Chairman Pawlenty convened the next public hearing regarding a
Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment changing the land use
designation from Limited Business to General Business, a Planned
Development amendment to specify uses for Lots 2, 3, and 4 of the
Pondview Planned Development Agreement, a preliminary plat
consisting of three lots on 5.1 Planned Development zoned acres, a
conditional use permit for a pylon sign and motor fuel sales and
variances for parking lot setbacks located along the west side of
Pilot Knob Road, south of Duckwood Drive in the east half of
Section 16.
City Planner Jim Sturm briefed the Commission regarding the
applications and stated that a light grey brick was proposed.
Mike Kesack (Coldwell Banker) introduced the representatives
for Duckwood Crossings and informed the Commission they were
available for questions.
Commissionmember Voracek asked for the parking requirements
and also if cross easements were necessary. City Planner Jim Sturm
responded that a condition should be added regarding cross
easements.
Commissionmember Trygg asked if the request was to amend the
Comprehensive Guide Plan to General Business. Mr. Sturm responded
the request was to amend the Planned Development Agreement. Trygg
stated there was no need to change the agreement to include motor
fuel stations as she did not support the proposal. Chairman
Pawlenty stated that the Comprehensive Guide Plan should not be
changed. City Attorney Mike Dougherty pointed out that the
Comprehensive Guide Plan should be amended to reflect General
Business uses. There was further discussion regarding the
Comprehensive Guide Plan.

Agenda Information Memo
August 1, 1989 City Council Meeting
SENECA WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT/BETTY BASSETT
C. Request by Betty Bassett to Further Discuss Seneca Wastewater
Treatment Plant --Betty Bassett has requested time on the City
Council Agenda under Old Business to present concerns regarding the
Seneca Plant expansion to the City Council. Enclosed on page LSD
is a copy of her letter making this request.
Kristy Marnin, Planner I in the Department of Community
Development, has been acting as a Committee Chair for the Seneca
Odor Control Advisory Group. This Committee has been meeting on
a regular monthly basis since the City Council adopted the Seneca
Plant Development Agreement which established the Commission since
February of this ye Kristy as prepared a memo, copy is
enclosed on pages -through /5(o, that addresses problems the
Committee is experiencing in establishing a specific direction and
^focus. The Seneca Plant Development Agreement provides a forum for
•informational exchanges regarding the plant expansion, operations
and odor issues. As Kristy states in her memo, the Committee has
attempted through its own interest to expand discussions topics
beyond the established forum adopted by the agreement. Also
discussed in the attached memo is a response to the issues raised
in Betty Bassett's letter.
Since this is not an action item but addresses a development
agreement that is a matter of record between the City and the MWCC,
it is suggested that the presentation be limited to the five (5)
points raised in Ms. Bassett's letter. Kristy's letter will be
shared by Ms. Bassett prior to the meeting, and if her concerns are
resolved, this item will be removed or reduced to the number of
issues that are of concern to Ms. Bassett.
There is no action required in this item.

City of Eagan,
We wish to be placed on the City Council Agenda under old
business on August 1, 1989. Our concern is the Seneca plant.
The plans for the lift -station acid the metering station
have been cut back because the bids were too high. The chemicals
whichwere being put in the pipeline are not being put in because
a drill broke. Last week our neighborhood stunk. Who is watching-
the MWCC to protect/ the residents of Eagan?
Last'week the neighbors received a letter from Minn. Public
radio, informing us they have an option on the Peterson land to
build four radio towers. The site plan showed most of the scenic
F easement being -used by them. A closer readint of the scenic
easement shows that by agreement the city and the MWCC can at any
time vacate the easement for any purpose. What kind of protection
is this ror hiss'
In the agreements with the ci-ty.one of the statements
whic}r pleased the neighbore,was was that the sludge being brought
in from Blue Lake would be reduced after the new plant was built..
This we assumed would reduce the smell of burning sludge, however,
it seems that Blue Lake sludge will be reduced because the plant
will be accepting the sewer waste from the new Bloomington Mega
Mall. Across the river,they are already 'laying new sewer pipes to
bring their sludge to Eagan. It~ seems Blue Lake sludge will be
cut back, because the new plant will be operating at capacity with
the Bloomington sludge..
The neighbors wells are being affected by the dewatering

�Uwells put in for the construction of Senaca. There will be
uaeermanent dewatering wells after Seneca is built. The DNR has to

TO: Tom Hedges, City Administrator
FROM: Kristy Marnin, Planner I
DATE: July 25, 1989
SUBJECT: Seneca Odor Control Advisory Committee
August 1, 1989 City Council Agenda
(Request by Betty Bassett)
The Seneca Odor Control Advisory Committee, consisting of area
residents, Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC)
representatives and City of Eagan representatives, has been meeting
monthly since February 1989. This committee was established under
the Seneca Plant Development Agreement to provide a forum for
informational exchanges regarding the plant expansion, operations
and odor issues. At times, this committee has been less than
constructive. In my opinion, there are several factors which
create conflict in this committee, including the following.
Long history (15± years) of disputes between the
residents in the neighborhood of the Seneca Plant and the
MWCC. Past problems have tended to permeate present
issues.
* No tangible powers for the committee. The area residents
have frequently expressed frustration with their lack of
authority to directly influence plant expansion
activities and plant operations.
* Complexity of the expansion project and plant operations.
The expansion project involves many components, ranging
from platting, to grading, to construction, to sludge
management, to odor control. The variety of activities
taking place, and the inter -relationships of these
activities, often makes it difficult to sort out the
actual issues of concern to those involved with the
committee.
* Numerous agencies, including the City, MWCC, Dakota
County, MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and MN
Pollution Control Agency (MPGA), are involved with the
Seneca Plant expansion and operations. Various required
permits and regulations are individually administered by
these different agencies. However, representatives from
each of these organizations have not been available to
attend the committee meetings. Also, the City does not
have a full-time representative with the background to
evaluate the technical environmental science issues
involved in this project.
1461
Tom Hedges
July 25, 1989

* Regional nature of the project. The Seneca Plant
receives and treats wastewater from Eagan, Bloomington,
Burnsville, and parts of other adjacent communities.
However, the plant itself is physically located within
Eagan. This situation has often lead to a feeling of
"why should 'we' treat 'their' sewage".
At the most recent committee meeting, several issues were raised
which Betty Bassett, area resident, has requested for discussion
before the City Council. Ms. Bassett submitted her request for
placement on the August 1, 1989, City Council agenda to City
administration on July 20, 1989. Ms. Bassett has also discussed
this request with me.
Five main issues were noted in Ms. Bassett's letter. To provide
additional background information, following is a description of
discussions at committee meetings and between Ms. Bassett and me
regarding these issues as noted in this letter.
1) Cut back in plans for the Nichols Road lift and meter stations
because of MWCC budget constraints. (first sentence, second
paragraph).
Apparently, the original plan for improvements to the Nichols
Road lift and meter stations called for an expansion of the
building along with installation of odor control equipment.
At the June 14, 1989, committee meeting, Harold Voth (MWCC
staff) indicated that this project was re -designed to
eliminate the expansion plans because the odor control
equipment will fit within the existing meter station
structure.
At the July 12, 1989, committee meeting, Ms. Bassett
questioned the motive for this change in plans for the
improvements to the Nichols Road lift and meter stations. Mr.
Voth indicated that because of MWCC budget constraints and
rules, the MWCC had to re-evaluate the original improvement
plans. Mr. Voth indicated that the alternative plan which
will allow installation of the odor control equipment in the
existing meter station structure (without expansion) will be
as effective as the original plan and will allow the MWCC to
meet the completion deadline (specified in the development
agreement).
Ms. Bassett indicated to me that she feels that, by this
change in plans for the Nichols Road lift and meter stations
improvements, the MWCC is reneging on the development
agreement.
�7Y
Tom Hedges
July 25, 1989
Page Three
On review of the development agreement, I noted that Section
3.2(c) refers to improvements to the Nichols Road lift and
meter stations. This section reads as follows:
"As soon as possible, but no later that October 1, 1989,
MWCC shall design, construct or otherwise provide and
make fully operational necessary additional odor control
equipment for the Nichols Road pump and meter stations."
It appears that the development agreement does not specify the
method for improvements to the Nichols Road lift and meter
stations; rather, the agreement generally requires that
improvements related to odor control be made to the lift and
meter stations. It may be beneficial to have the City
Attorney review this matter for an official interpretation.
2) Stop of the injection of chemicals into the lines at the meter
station because of a broken pump. (second sentence, second
paragraph).
Karla Eggink (MWCC staff) had been operating a chemical test
feed program for odor control. This program involves the
injection of sodium hypochlorite upstream from the meter
station. At the July 14, 1989, committee meeting, Ms. Eggink
indicated that she was not currently injecting the chemical
because the shaft inside the pump she uses to put the
chemicals into the line had broken. Ms. Eggink also noted
that she was putting together the substantiation for
continuing this chemical test feed program.
My understanding (subject to individual interpretation) of the
discussion that took place at the committee meeting was that
the MWCC intends to continue this chemical test feed program
for odor control (provided that it proves effective), and that
it was not currently being run simply because of equipment
breakdown. I am unsure of the requirements for this specific
odor control measure (if any) under the development agreement.
3) Scenic easement - lack of protection for the neighbors.
(third paragraph).
Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) representatives have approached
City staff regarding placement of radio antenna towers within
the Seneca Plant Scenic Easement and surrounding property (not
within the easement). MPR has a copy of the signed scenic
easement agreement, and City staff has indicated to MPR that
no excavation, motorized vehicles or cutting/harvesting of
trees or other vegetation (i.e. basically no construction of
/I�3
Tom Hedges
July 25, 1989
Page Four
any type) is allowed within the scenic easement without City
Council approval. MPR has also been informed that a
conditional use permit and variance approval would also be
necessary. To date, MPR has not applied for any type of
approval for installation of the radio antenna towers.
The committee has been informed of the above. However, it is
my impression from speaking with Ms. Bassett that the
neighbors have the impression that location of the MPR radio
towers in the scenic easement is a "done deal".
4) Receiving of wastewater from the Bloomington Megamall. (fourth
paragraph).
on several occasions, Ms. Bassett has discussed her concern
with the Seneca Plant receiving wastewater and sludge
(generated by treatment of wastewater) from Bloomington.
Section 3.3 of the development agreement deals with sludge
management. Specifically, Section 3.3(c) reads as follows:
"To the extent of the MWCC's authority under law or
regulation, the sludge incineration capacity at the
Seneca plant shall not be increased except to accommodate
sludge generated from the Seneca plant and provided that
only sludge generated at the Seneca plant is being
incinerated at the Seneca plant."
Apparently, sludge from the Blue Lake plant is currently
trucked to the Seneca Plant for incineration. MWCC staff has
indicated at committee meetings that one reason for this is
that sludge incineration is more efficient when the
incinerator is operated at a level closer to capacity.
Currently, sludge generated at the Seneca Plant is not at the
capacity of the sludge incinerator, so Blue Lake sludge is
brought in to make up the difference. As the communities
which are served by the Seneca Plant (and for which the Seneca
Plant was constructed) grow, the amount of wastewater received
by the Seneca Plant increases. As the amount of wastewater
received increases, the amount of sludge generated at the
Seneca Plant increases. Consequently, less and less sludge
from Blue Lake will be brought to the Seneca Plant. Section
3.3(c) of the development agreement indicates that the sludge
incineration capacity can only be increased to accommodate
sludge generated at the Seneca Plant (i.e. the sludge
incineration capacity cannot be increased to accommodate
sludge from Blue Lake or other plants).
14/
Tom Hedges
July 25, 1989
Page Five
However, Ms. Bassett has expressed concern over the increase
in sludge generated at the Seneca Plant because of wastewater
which will be generated by the Mall of America (Megamall)
development in Bloomington. Ms. Bassett has been informed
that the Seneca Plant has (since its beginning) and will
continue to serve the wastewater treatment needs of not only
Eagan, but also Bloomington, Burnsville, and parts of other
surrounding communities.
5) Effects of dewatering activities on the area residents' wells.
(fifth paragraph).
At the July 12, 1989, committee meeting, Ms. Bassett indicated
that she and the Istads (area residents) have been having
severe problems with their wells ranging from the well motors
running continuously for several days to the well not bringing
up water.
Also, two tests of the water from the area residents' wells
have been conducted. The results of the first test indicated
that two wells did have some pollution; however, the source
of this pollution has not been determined. The results of the
second test were not yet available at the July committee
meeting.
Ron Spong, Dakota County Public Health Department, attended
the July committee meeting. He provided some insight into the
complexities of well water/groundwater testing and pollution.
No conclusive information was provided to indicate the cause
of the well problems or the source of the groundwater
pollution.
It should also be noted that dewatering is an activity common
to many construction projects.
Ms. Bassett requested that I prepare a verbatim transcript from the
July 12, 1989, committee meeting for the discussions which took
place regarding issues 1 and 2 above. Ms. Bassett also requested
that copies of this transcript be provided to each of the City
Council members. I informed Ms. Bassett that I would be unable to
provide this transcript; however, I would prepare minutes of this
meeting in the usual form (summary) for distribution to the City
Council members prior to the August 1, 1989 City Council meeting.
In addition, I informed Ms. Bassett that she was welcome to listen
to the tape recording of the July committee meeting and take notes
for her own use. Ms. Bassett came to City Hall and recorded her
own copy of the portions relating to issues 1 and 2 above from the
tape made at the July committee meeting.

I would appreciate any ideas which may help,in the administration
of this project and the odor control advisory committee.

and freight terminal at this site. 95% of Hoovestol's business is
hauling mail, while the remaining 5% of the business operation is
the sales and leasing of trailers and trucks. The Conditional Use
Permit is being sought so the applicant can get a dealers license
from the State of Minnesota, primarily for leasing trailers. The
used trucks and trailers that will be available for sales and
leasing come from the applicant's fleet as newer vehicles are
acquired by the company.
The leasing and sales activity, as proposed, will not include the
general public, but instead will be geared to other trucking
companies and/or professional truckers. The. applicant has also
stated that the average number of sale and lease items on site at
one time will be up to seven. The contract hauling operation has
been in Eagan since 1978 and at the current site for approximately
two years. '
If approved, this permit shall be subject to the following
conditions:
1. No more than eight items for sale and lease shall be on-site
at time.

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT (WEST
ADDITION)
APPLICANT: WEST
LOCATION: SE 1/4 OF SECTION 13
EXISTING ZONING: LI (LIGHT, INDUSTRIAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 250 1989
DATE OF REPORT: JULY 19p 1989
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY
3RD
APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted by West
Publishing Inc. requesting a Preliminary Plat containing
approximately 14.5 acres in an LI (Light Industrial) zoning
district located immediately north of the existing facility along
lRescott Road and Highway 149.
BACKGROUND: The initial 400,000 square foot West Publishing
Development began in 1977 and has increased to more than 1,000,000
square feet. With the original application, an EAW (Environmental
Assessment Worksheet) was processed. No amendments are necessary
as a result of this application. In 1987, West Publishing
purchased all of the Gopher Smelting property southeast of Yankee
Doodle Road and Elrene Road, except for the 20 -acre concrete
recycling area approved by the City in July 1989. West Publishing
is currently in the process of developing an overall master plan
for the future development of this area and it is anticipated that
this plan/platting process will be reviewed by the Advisory
Commissions and City Council in late 1989 or early 1990. Staff has
been, and will continue to work with the applicant on these plans
as they develop.
This plat incorporates Light Industrial zoned property within the
Gopher Eagan Planned Development. Agricultural zoned land owned by
West Publishing immediately south of the building site will be used
as a parking area only. City staff and West Publishing have agreed
to rezone and plat this area Light Industrial with the overall
development plans since the newly acquired area may also need
additional Planned Development Amendments (Rezonings). The Planned
Development primarily consists of Light Industrial zoning, with
smaller areas of (RB) Roadside Business., R-4 (Multiple), R-2
(Double), and PF (Public Facilities) districts. This may also
include a transfer of City parkland in exchange for land that would
provide a direct access from Wescott Station Park to Elrene Road.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: Currently, there is a house on the
Agricultural zoned property immediately to the south that will be
surrounded by the parking area for both buildings. The home is
occupied by a West Publishing security person and will stay in its
present location for the time being, however it may be relocated
on/off site with future development. The area consists primarily
of open grassland and becomes wooded along the west property line.
Only City parkland and property owned by West Publishing are within
350' of the subject site.
BITE PLAN: The proposed two-story 145,000 sq. ft. Professional
Center will contain a "back up" type computer system to the one in
downtown St. Paul. The goal West Publishing Company has is to
always have one system operational, even in the time of an
emergency. Both will carry an approximate 50% load of the total
computer needs of the company.
Access will be provided from the existing parking lot, with 180
parking stalls along the northeast corner of the building. Only
60-70 employees will be located in the building initially.
The building itself will be constructed of a combination of brick
and glass, similar in scale to the office building addition on the
north side of the main building that was completed in 1988. The
landscape plan was nicely prepared and demonstrates a good mixture
of overstory, understory, and coniferous material.
1!Y
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The proposed site is hilly and
will require cuts of up to 14' to meet design grades. Staff
anticipates no problems with the grading. No erosion and
sediment control plan was s-ubmitted for staff review and
comments. Erosion control measures will be required in
accordance with the City's erosion control manual.
Storm water drainage is proposed to be directed to Pond JP -18
which does not have an outlet. Development around the pond has
continued over the past 5 years with no indication that an outlet
is required due to flooding conditions. Staff continues to
recommend that an outlet not be constructed at this time and
monitoring of the pond be continued to verify that flooding
conditions are not developing. Further development in the area
will necessitate the pond outlet construction.
UTILITIES: Water main for the site is proposed to be connected
to the existing internal private lines within the existing West
Publishing site and to the water main on the easterly side of TH
149 installed in 1971 under City Project No. 5874. The water
lines are proposed to be private. Any water line which loops the
City system is considered a public line and requires the
appropriate easement.
Two alternatives are proposed for sanitary sewer. Alternate A
would involve construction of a gravity line east across TH 149
to an existing sanitary sewer that was constructed in 1977 under
City Project No. 196. This alternate would involve construction
of both private and public lines since the const -ruction would be
across private property that is not a part of this plat.
The second alternate would involve construction of a private lift
station within the plat. The lift station would outlet into
existing private sanitary sewer lines within the plat.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Access to this plat will be from
existing West Publishing private streets and parking lots which
have access from TH 149.
EASEMENTS/PERMITS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY: Standard 10' drainage and
utility easements will be required around the plat. In addition,
an easement to the HWL of Pond JP -18 will be required. If.
alternative A for providing sanitary sewer service is selected,
an easement will be required over private land to the east of TH-
149.
Permits from Minnesota Department of Health and Pollution Control
Agency will be required for water main and sanitary sewer
construction. Permits from Minnesota Department of
Transportation will be required for any utility crossing of TH-
149.

OBLIGATION:
Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the
past and the uses proposed for the property, the following charges
are proposed. The charges are computed using the City's existing

SUBJECT: (REPLAT)- PEACEFUL HEIGHTS 2ND ADDITION
APPLICANT: PEACE REFORMED CHURCH
LOCATION: 2180 GLORY DRIVE
PEACEFUL HEIGHTS ADDITION
EXISTING ZONING: PF (PUBLIC FACILITIES)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 25, 1989
DATE OF REPORT: JULY 18, 1989
COMPILED BY: PLANNING i ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting
a Replat for Peaceful Heights Addition to combine Outlot A and Lot
1, Block 1, creating Peaceful Heights 2nd Addition.
XXISTING CONDITIONS: The 12.68 -acre site is located south of the
proposed Kennealy Addition, west of Nicols Road, north of Cedar
Ridge 1st and 2nd Additions and' abuts Cedar Avenue (T,.H. #77) on
the west. Access to this development is gained from Glory Drive,
off Nicols Road. The church is located south of Glory Drive with
approximately 150-160 parking spaces. Outlot A is located on the
north side of Glory Drive and is primarily an open grassy field.
BACKGROUND: Peace Reformed Church was completed in 1985 and has
approximately 820 members (including children) with an average
Sunday congregation of 600. The church is currently applying for
a building permit to construct a 21,000 square foot addition to be
used for classrooms and a gymnasium. The sanctuary will remain the
same size.
COMMENTS: Plans to increase the number of parking spaces
necessitate the need to plat Outlot A. The project is being
phased; Phase II of the development is the 21,000 square foot
addition to the building and 95 parking spaces. The two-level
building addition will have a full-sized gymnasium on the lower
level surrounded by classrooms and a nursery. The top level has
an open area and classrooms around the perimeter. The.21,000-
square-foot addition will match the existing structures ---brown
face brick, gabled roof, and shingles. The architects, plan to
submit the building permit application the week of July 24, 1989
and would like to schedule work for the first week in August.
Phase III is the addition of 68 parking spaces currently in Outlot
A. To do this, Outlot A requires platting.
4:CJ1'451.'{�.'r:r .9 Qi WF�}:•.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The proposed grading for the
development conforms to City standards and does not adversely
modify storm water drainage patterns. The proposed storm water
management of the development consists of lateral storm sewer
discharging into a pond created for storage of the site generated
storm water runoff. The design concept represents good storm water
management practices and benefits the overall drainage of the area.
Based upon a hydraulic analysis of the drainage system, it is
recommended that the discharge from the.pond be controlled by a 6"
orifice. This would result in a high water level of approximately
887.0 (0.8' higher than proposed), however, this has no apparent
adverse impact on the proposed development.
No erosion and sediment control plan was submitted for staff review
and comment. No negative water quality impacts are expected since
all downstream water bodies have preliminary water body
classifications as storm water basins or sediment basins.
UTILITIES: No sanitary sewer or water main is proposed as a part
of the development. A review of the hydrant coverage indicates
that a portion of the proposed development would not be covered by
ithe hydrant presently at the end of Glory Drive. This issue must
be reviewed by the Fire Marshall, and additional hydrant
installation may be required.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Improved public street access is
presently available from Glory Drive. Traffic circulation through
the proposed parking area appears to be adequate for the intended
use.
EASEMENTS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY/PERMITS: In addition to the 10' wide
drainage and utility easements required along all property lines
and adjacent to public right-of-way, a ponding easement will be
required for the proposed ponding area. An easement on the
proposed ponding area guarantees that the development will not fill
in the proposed pond which in turn would overburden the downstream
City storm sewer system.
Sufficient right-of-way for Glory Drive has been dedicated.
I/
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the
past and the uses proposed for the property, the following charges

1MENDMENT TO CITY CODE CHAPTER 13
PARK AND TRAIL DEDICATION POLICY
July 25, 1989
Section 13.20, Subdivision 8 of the City Code, establishes
subdivision regulations for park and trail dedication. Policies
outlining the amount of dedication and/or cash contribution
required have been determined by Council resolution. Currently,
there is one adopted policy document governing both parkland and
trail dedication. This policy requires park dedication by all
developments at specified rates. (See Attachment 2 for current
rates). Trail dedication, however, is provided only by
developments abutting or incorporating trails identified in the
City's adopted Park System Plan. Since a coordinated trail system
is a city-wide benefit, the current policy places a
disproportionate burden on those developments abutting such
identified trails. To provide a more equitable dedication system
and to ensure completion of the trail as planned, an amendment to
chapter 13 of the City Code and revisions to the Park and Trail
Dedication Policy are being proposed.
PROPOSAL
The proposal consists of three components: an ordinance amendment
to Chapter 13, a Park Dedication Policy,, and a Trail Dedication
Policy. The ordinance amendment (see Attachment 1) establishes a
separate land dedication and/or cash contribution process for
trails in addition to that required for parkland dedication. The
proposed Park Dedication Policy (see Attachment 2) sets rates and
standards for dedication of parkland in accordance with Section
13.20, Subdivision 8A.2. of the City Code. It revises the current
adopted policy to eliminate sections concerning park trails (which
will be addressed in the Trail Dedication Policy described below)
and to establish two additional required improvements. No changes
in required rates are being proposed.
The Trail Dedication Policy (see Attachment 3) is a new policy
proposed to establish separate rates and requirements for trail
land dedication. The purpose of this policy is to distribute the
cost of remaining trail construction equitably and consistently to
all future development benefitted by such trails and to ensure an
adequate mechanism to pay for remaining trail construction. The
proposed rates for trail dedication are $100 per residential unit
and $859 per acre for commercial/ industrial development. These
rates were determined by comparing the amount of potential future
development with costs for remaining trail construction. The Parks
and Recreation Department estimates that approximately 62 miles of
trails identified in the Trails Systems Plan have yet to be
constructed. Construction costs are estimated at approximately
3.5 million dollars, based on a cost of $10.75 per lineal foot of
20
construction. Remaining future de
been estimated at approxii
commercial/industrial property and
residential development. Dividing tl
by the amount of future development
lopment within the City has
Lely 2,000 acres of
)proximately 18,000 units of
estimated construction costs
ielded the proposed rates.
Under these policies, total fees for park and trail dedication
would become $625 for single family residential ($100 - trail, $525
- park) and $3,037 per acre for commercial/industrial ($859/acre -
trail, $2,,178/acre - park..) while this represents an increase for
some developments, the fees for others, previously responsible for
trails abutting or within their developments,, may decrease or
increase only slightly. The combined park and trail dedication
rates are consistent with the range of fees required in surrounding
jurisdictions and will ensure adequate revenue to complete the
trail system. It should be noted that the Council may adjust the
required rates in the future should construction costs increase.
The proposed amendment to Chapter 13 of the City Code requires a
public hearing process before the Advisory Planning Commission and
the City Council, with action being taken by the Council upon
recommendation of the Planning Commission. The Park Dedication
Policy and the Trail Dedication Policy can be adopted by resolution
of the City Council. This process provides more flexibility for
periodic revisions which may be needed to accommodate possible
fluctuations in construction costs and development potential.
Although.the Planning Commission will be making a recommendation
only on the Code amendment, the policy documents to be adopted by
Council resolution have also been included for informational
purposes.

POLICY ADOPTING STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING THAT PORTION
OFrLAND BEING PLATTED, SUBDIVIDED OR DEVELOPED WHICH IS TO BE
CONVEYED OR DEDICATED TO THE PUBLIC FOR PARR OR RECREATION PURPOSES
OR WITH RESPECT TO WHICH CASHIS TO BE CONTRIBUTED TO THE CITY IN
LIEU OF SUCH CONVEYANCE OR DEDICATION, ALL AS PROVIDED BY SECTION
OF THE CITY CODE.
1. PURPOSE.
The City Council recognizes it is essential to the health,
safety and welfare of the residents of Eagan and persons working
in Eagan, that the character and quality of the environment be
considered to be of major importance in the planning and
r development of the City. In this regard, the manner in which
land is developed and used is of high priority. The preservation
of land for park, playground and public open space purposes as
it relates to the use and development of land for residential,
commercial/ industrial purposes is essential to the maintaining
of a healthful and desirable environment for all citizens of the
City. The City must not only provide these necessary amenities
for our citizens today; but also be insightful to the needs of
our future citizens.
It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park,
playground and public open space within a municipality is
directly related to the density and intensity of development
permitted and allowed within any given area. Urban type
developments mean greater numbers of people and higher demands
for park, ,playground and public open space. To disregard this
principle is to inevitably over -tax existing facilities and
thus, diminish the quality of the environment for all.
The City's Park Systems Plan Study has established minimum
community criteria for meeting the needs of the residents of
Eagan. In order to meet the community needs for parks and open
space, 15 acres of park shall be required for each 1,000,
residents, of which 12 acres shall be designated as neighborhood
parks.
This shall be the standard upon which the City shall establish
its parkland and parks cash dedication.
it is the policy of Eagan that the following standards and
guidelines for the dedication of land for park, playground, and
public open space purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of
such dedication) in the subdividing and developing of land
7- 0 7 ATTACHMENT 2
within the City shall be directly related to the density and
intensity of each subdivision and development.
The amount of land to be dedicated by a developer shall be based
on the gross area of the propose subdivision, proposed type of
dwelling unit and density. Census .data for 1985 of 3.5 residents
for single family, 2.8 for duplex, 2.1 for townhouse/quad. and
1.9 for apartments has been used as density standards for
formulating calculations in meeting the criteria of park needs
of Eagan residents.
The formula for land dedication:
The greater of 1) proposed units per acre of 2) zoned density.

meet identified needs of the City as contained in the Park
Systems Plan, and Comprehensive Guide Plan. and Trails
Plan.
B. Prior to dedication for public purpose, the subdivider
shall deliver to the City Attorney, an abstract of title or
registered property abstract for such dedication. Such
title shall vest in the City good and marketable title,
free and clear of any mortgages,' liens, encumbrances,
assessments and taxes. The conveyance documents shall be in
such form acceptable to the City.
C. The required dedication and/or payment of fees -in -lieu of
land dedication shall be made at time of final plat
approval.
D. The removal of trees, topsoil, storage of construction
equipment, burying of construction debris, or stockpiling
of surplus soil is strictly forbidden without the written
approval of the Director of Parks & Recreation.
To i
-2-
E. Grading and utility plans, which may affect or impact the
proposed park dedication,' shall be, reviewed and approved by
the Parks and Recreation Director prior to dedication, or
at such time as is reasonably determined.
F. To be.eligible for park dedication credit, land dedicated
is to be located outside of drainways, flood plains or
ponding areas after the site has been developed. Grades
exceeding 128 or are unsuitable for parks development shall
be considered for partial dedication.
Where ponding has been determined to have a park function,
credit will be given at a rate of 508 of the pond and
adjoining land area below the high water level; a minimum
of 708 of land above the high water mark shall be dedicated
before pond credit is granted. Other City park dedication
policies relating to pond dedication must also be complied
with.
In those cases where subdividers and developers of land
provide significant amenities such as, but not limited to
swimming pools, tennis courts, handball courts, ball
fields, etc., within the development for the benefit of
those residing or working therein, and where, in the
judgment of the Director of Parks and Recreation, such
amenities significantly reduce the demand s for public
recreational facilities to serve the development, the
Director may recommend to the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission that the amount of land to be dedicated for
park, playground and public open space (or cash
contributions in lieu of such dedication) be reduced by an
amount not to exceed 258 of the amount calculated under
paragraph 2 above.
G. The City, upon ,review, may determine that the developer
shall create and maintain some form of on-site recreation
use by the site residents such as tot lots and open play
space. This requirement may be in addition to the land or
cash dedication requirement.
If, at the option of the City, it is determined that a cash
dedication shall be made, said cash shall be placed in a special
fund for Parks and Recreation use and deposited by the developer
with the City prior to final plat approval.
The City Council, upon review and recommendation of the Advisory
Parks and Recreation Commission, shall annually determine by
resolution the park cash dedication fee per residential unit.
Said, fee shall be determined by the average market value of
undeveloped residential property by zoning classification,
served by major City utilities, divided by the number of units
per acre, which shall provide the equivalency of twelve acres
per thousand population.

Developments, shall be required at the time the site plan is
approved and building' permits are issued to dedicate to the City
for park, playground, and public open space purposes, an amount
of land up to 7.58 of the net land area within the development
as determined by the City.
In those cases where the City does not require park or open
space within such developments, the City shall require payment
of fees in ,lieu of such land 'dedication in an amount equal to
$.05 per square foot of net land area, or such amount as
determined by the City Council. Cash shall be contributed at the
time of approval of each final plat or at the time of site plan
or building permit approval., as determined by the City. The fee
dedication requirement for all commercial/industrial plats which
have received site plan approval prior to January 1, 1983, but
have not been issued building permit approval, the City shall be
in an amount equal to $0.2 per sq. ft. of net land which shall
be contributed at the time of building permit approval.
A credit of up to 258 of the -required dedication may be allowed
by the City Council for on-site storm sewer, water, ponding and
settling basins provided that such improvements benefit
identifiable park and recreation water resources.
The, City Council, upon review and recommendation of the Advisory
Parks and Recreation Commission, may annually review and
determine by resolution an adjustment to the
industrial/commercial fee based upon the City's estimate of the
average value.of undeveloped commercial/industrial land in the
City.
Developers shall be responsible for making certain improvements
to their developments for park, playground and public open space
purposes as follows:
A. Provide finished grading and ground cover for all park,
playground, trail and public open spaces within their
development as part of their development contract or site
plan approval responsibilities. Landscape screening, shall
be in accordance with 'City Policy.

ft. for neighborhood parks, and additional frontage for
community parks.
The State of Minnesota has recognized the importance of
providing for parks and open -space in M.S.A. 462.358,
subdivision 2 (b) which clearly gives the right to Cities in
it's subdivisions regulations to require reasonable portions for

THE CITY CODE.
1. Pnrnose.
The City Council recognizes that in the best interest of the health,
safety and welfare of the residents of Eagan, that a standard be
adopted to complete the Park Trail System as set forth in the Eagan
Comprehensive Guide Plan. The Eagan trail system is designed to
provide links between the various points of interest and public
facilities which exist and are planned within the community. To more
adequately assure the timeliness and priority of the completion of
segments of the trail system, the Council has resolved that as a
prerequisite to plat approval, subdividers shall dedicate land for
trails and/or shall make cash contribution to the City's park trail
fund as provided by this section.
a. Land to be dedicated shall be reasonably suited for its
intended use and shall be at a location identified upon the
City of Eagan's Trail Plan.
b. The Park and Recreation Advisory Committee shall recommend
to the City Council the trail land dedication and/or cash
contribution requirements for proposed subdivisions.
C. Changes in density of plats shall be reviewed by the Parks
and Recreation Advisory Committee for reconsideration of
trail land dedication and cash contribution requirements.
d. When a proposed trail has been indicated in the City's
official map or Comprehensive Plan, and it is located in
whole or in part within the proposed plat, it shall be
designated as such on the plat and shall be dedicated to
the City of Eagan. If the subdivider elects not to dedicate
an area in excess of the land required hereinunder for such
a proposed trail, the City may consider acquiring the trail
land through purchase or condemnation.

ATTACHMENT 3
e. Land area conveyed or dedicated to the City shall not be
used in calculating density requirements of the City zoning
ordinance.
a. In lieu of trail land dedication as set forth on the City's
Trail Plan, the City may require the following cash
donations:
Residential Dwelling Units
$ per
dwelling unit
Commercial/Industrial/Public $ per
Facility acre
b. The City may elect to receive a combination of cash and
land for trail use. The fair market value of the land the
City requires for its trail system shall be subtracted from
the cash contribution requirement set forth in paragraph
3(a). The remainder shall be a cash contribution
requirement.
C. The fair market value shall be determined as of the time of
preliminary plat approval in accordance with the following:
1. The City and' the developer may agree as to the fair
market value; or
2. The fair market value may be based upon a current
appraisal submitted to the City by the subdivider at
the subdivider's expense. The appraisal shall be made
by appraisers who are approved members of the MAI or
equivalent real estate appraisal societies.
3. If the City disputes such appraisal, the City may, at
the subdivider's expense, obtain a second appraisal of
the property by an appraiser who is a member of the
MAI or equivalent real estate appraisal societies. The
second appraisal shall be conclusive evidence of the
fair market value of the land.
d. Planned Developments with mixed land uses shall make cash
and/or trail land contributions in accordance with this
section based upon the percentage of land devoted to the
various uses.
e. Cash for trail contributions are to be calculated at the
time of final plat approval. With respect to a cash
dedication for residential units, payment shall be required
prior to the City releasing the final plat for recording
2t2
purposes. With respect to commercial/industrial/public
facility property, payment for the cash dedication shall be
made at the time of the application for the building
permit.
f. Cash contributions for the trail dedication shall be
deposited in the City's Park and Recreation Trail
Development Fund and shall only be used for trail planning,
acquisition or development.

August 1, 1989, City Council Meeting
REQUEST FOR COST PARTICIPATION/FAIRWAY HILLS.
H. Request For Cost Participation, Fairway._gills let E 2nd
Additions - Frontage Road --Enclosed on pages i/X through 22�3 is
a letter submitted by the developers of the Fairway Hills 1st and
2nd Additions requesting Council consideration of City and/or
County financial participation in the reimbursement of the existing
retaining wall, easement acquisitions and utility relocations
necessary to construct the Pilot Knob Road frontage road from
Camelback Drive to Interlachen Drive along the east side of Pilot
Knob Road within the Fairway Hills 1st and 2nd Additions.
The City and County staff have held extensive meetings with Mr.
Hermann regarding this issue. It is the opinion of the City and
County that it is the developer's responsibility to construct the
frontage road in accordance with previously approved development
agreements and current engineering standards. While the right -of -
,way for this frontage road was technically platted with the Fairway
Hills 1st Addition, its construction was specifically deleted until
the second phase development to ensure that its location,
elevation, setback and other design criteria was compatible with
the pending Pilot Knob Road improvement. It appears that the
current location and elevations of the rough grading for this
frontage road are not compatible with the final Pilot Knob Road
design.
The City staff contends that with the developer's option to design
and construct this roadway privately, they assume the
responsibility to ensure that the design is compatible with the
adjacent Pilot Knob Road improvement and that they assume their
financial obligations for 100% of the cost in accordance with the
development agreement for the Fairway Hills lst and 2nd Additions.
Enclosed on pages through is a letter from the Public
Works Director to the developer forwarning them of the need to
coordinate designa construction scheduling. Enclosed on pages
ZZa through 2- is City and County staffs' response to the
specific items addr ssed in the development's request. Due to the
extensive volume of the referenced attachments to the developer's
submittal, it will be presented and made available at the Council
meeting on August 1, 1989. If any individual would like a copy of
any specific attachment or all of them prior to the meeting, please
contact the Director of Public Works.
The developer is appealing the staff's position to the City Council
requesting that the City and/or County financially participate in
the construction of this frontage road.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/deny the
developer's request for City/County financial participation for the
Fairway Hills frontage road along Pilot Knob Road between Camelback
Drive and Interlachen Boulevard.

Mike Foertsch
Assistant City Engineer
City of Eagan
Dear Mike:
In compliance with your request of last week and with the
understanding that there will be no more delays in either
the resolution.of the Service Drive and/,or scheduling of
DMS/Bridlewilde Joint Venture on the agenda for the next
City Council Meeting, I hereby present the facts and ou3f
request to the Engineering Staff and City Council of
Eagan:
Occurrence
Date
Letter from Larry Figgins to the City indicating 3-25-86
items to be addressed for County approval. These
1.4 changes were made in the DMS/Probe Engineering
design for Phase I and II of,Fairway Hills.
Letter from Larry Figgins/County granting access 4-3-86
to Pilot Knob Road and temporary access until
completion of Pilot Knob Project at Camelback
Drive and Pilot Knob. Also indicated basic
approval by the County of the proposed DMS
plat at that date.
Permit granted to DMS for construction by County, 6-26-86
authorization number 3177 for first 11000 feet in
Southerly direction on East side of Pilot Knob
Road. This includes the area of the retaining
wall and Camelback Drive Service Road intersection
in question.
Letter from Enron requiring that the Service Road 8-29-86
be set at specific height along Pilot Knob Road,
as well as other previous communications•.
County sends out plan showing DMS Road and showing
Trailways that City requires, but shows no concern
for grade change between Camelback/Service Drive
intersection and/or Service Drive all the way to
then proposed Interlachen Drive. But most importantly
no _need for retaining walls is mentioned on either
side of Pilot knob Road.
2��
Plans for Phase I approved for DMS by Mike 4-87
Foertsch,. DMS instructed to plat Phase I
and outlot three lots only. Service DRive
in question was platted at that time. City
then requested that DMS not construct the
service drive until Enron lowered the,pipe-
line in conjunction with Pilot KNob Project.
DMS did as requested. However, DMS was
instructed by the city staff to install
questioned manhole5at Camelback Drive
intersection point according to approved
grade at service drive intersection.
Fairway Hills plat approved and filed 6-2-87
Construction Started
Spring 87
Construction completed. Catch basin at 8-87
intersection of Camelback Drive and
Service Drive installed.per plan
previously approved and accepted by
City Staff and County permit N 3177
granting easement rights and letter
dated 4-3-86 from Larry Figgins
basically approving the plan. It
should be noted at this time that
the City Engineering staff, as well as
the City consulting engineers, Bonestroo
and Rosene had inspected and approved the
installation in accordance with the plan.
Letter from County saying Pilot Knob now 12-22=87
designed. It was obvious from the plan
that their design did not meet up well
with what DMS previously submitted to them
platted and constructed. Quite obviously
an error in their design existed_ No
mention of a retaining wall and/or guard
rail or elevations existed. In the same
letter they asked for easements and excess
fill which we promptly indicated we would
give free of charge in Phase II development.
Letter from Eagan staff to Don Patton, then 1-8-88
Project Coordinator for DMS in Phase I of
Fairway Hills. The letter states that
significant changes are evident between
our constructed manholes and intersection
of Camelback Drive and Service Drive. In
the same letter the staff agrees to reduce
the Service Drive width from Thirty Four
feet to Thirty feet and asks us to redesign
the plan because of the City need for Trailways.
Bridlewilde agreed to redesign the plan and ask
for approval.
County Engineer basically approving plat for 2-23-88
second phase after redesign.
Grading permit requested of the City for Phase 3-17-88
II in accordance with the asked for redesign
including the questioned area.
Gas line letter setting minimum clearances 4-26-88
as they exist today in the Service Road
area along lots between Phase I and II.
Letter from Roger Derrick to the City 4-26-88
recapping past occurrences.
Permit from the County on second phase for 4-29-88
redesigned plan. In the permit the County
makes special notation that no grading is
to take place in their right of way without
their contractor's approval.
City signs off and approves Phase II grading 5-4-88
plan and Phase I service road outlot. Grading
completed to approved plans.
Prior to final plat approval staff requests 6-17-88
inclusion of possible retaining wall to be
constructed at Camelback Drive/Service Road
intersection. No where in the development
agreement or on the plans does it indicate
who is to construct the possibly needed
retaining wall. I•t is obvious by this
time that the County has, in their plan,
had to consider elevation changes and a
retaining wall on the West side of Pilot
Knob as well as along Cliff Road East of
Pilot Knob. Yet no inclusions on the
County grading plan discuss retaining wall
needs at the questioned intersection that
was approved, platted and constructed by
DMS the year before.
Letter from Mike Foertsch giving permission 6-28-88
to proceed with Phase 1 -II under his sign
off, saying that we have all the needed
City and County approvals of the plan.
Phase II is constructed today according
to this approved plan.
County begins construction of Pilot Knob and 7-15-88
Cliff Road Project. County contractor grades
Service Road from Came16ack Drive/Service
Road intersection to approved and completed
grade of Interlachen Drive. During construction
of course, the County had to take into consid-
eration the approved intersection and the man-
hole in question. Upon completion of Cliff
Road/Pilot Knob Project the County subcontractor
installed retaining walls,, guard rails and _
adjusted road elevations as needed in all
areas necessary except in Fairway Hills in
the area of the Service Road and Camelback
intersection.
Letter from Don Patton to the County discussing 9-28-88
the grade changes made by the County which are
even more different than originally thought or
expected in the redesigned plan and called for
by the plan in the questioned area.
Bridlewilde Joint Venture provides and pays 10-88
for a cross section of Pilot Knob Road and
Camelback Drive/Service Road area to show
how possible walls could be constructed.
Because of County/City Pilot Knob Road
changes, Walls could not physically be
constructed at that late date. We also
felt that it was not our responsibility
and decided to give it over the winter in
the hope the matter would be settled by
spring. DMS/Bridlewilde Joint Venture
Started no other action because we wanted
to find out the full result of construction
and the intentions of the City and/or County.
We certainly didn't want to have a dispute
if men of common sense would realize and
correct their mistakes.
Craig Knutson of the City of Eagan okays and 5-89
approves construction of a retaining wall by
DMS Investments "as per approved cross sections",
but verbally indicates that nothing should happen
unless done in accordance with County instructions
and standards. Probe Engineering requested and
got County on site to direct and inspect retaining
wall construction. At this time the County changed
the entire wall construction from previously
verbally approved and agreed upon cross sections
submitted in 1988 by Probe and Bridlewilde Joint
Venture. Said changes were constructed and verbally
approved by the County.

Alexander Construction attempts to install 6-89
curb and gutter in Service Drive and Camel -

Alexander Construction requests City inspection.
Project was halted by the City staff because
of unsafe conditions.
To digress for a moment„ in May of 1989 the
City staff instructed us to follow County
direction. They gave instructions and we
followed them. They then stopped the project
stating that what the County had directed
for the installed retaining wall left an unsafe
intersection. They have since requested that
DMS/Bridlewilde redesign again, acquire necessary
easements from Lot 14, 'Block 5 which we do not
own, move the 1987 installed utilities, install
safety guard rail and continue their previously
stated position that this should all be at our
expense.

Mike, it should be understood that the County physically
graded and removed oux temporary entrance at Camelback
Drive by removingone hundred plus feet of blacktop and
made a cut of more than twelve feet from the previously
approved elevations that have still not been addressed
in County plans. the retaining wall, guard rail, road
and manhole moving and needed lot easement have all
come about because, quite obviously, the County either
forgot about previously platted, approved and constructed
areas, errored in calculations or had other ulterior
motives.
Bridlewilde had a set a County plans picked up in June
of 1989 and retaining walls elsewhere and pathways had
all of a sudden appeared except in the area of the
approved and constructed Camelback Service Drive,.
It is our request of the City Council of Eagan to
include in the Cliff Road and Pilot Knob Road project
overall assessment all costs of Bridlewilde, DMS, City
of Eagan and the County to insure a safe and proper
design for this area.
Obviously, Mike, we tried our best to satisfy alot of
different parties. At some points we felt that we stood
on our heads, but we feel that the problem that exists
is not our fault and that we should not have to pay for
it in any way, shape or form. Again, I reiterate that
we were there first, approved, platted and constructed.
It has always been my understanding that when a County
project takes place existing structures and approved
plats must be taken into consideration and costs incurred
are normally seen as part of the project.
Mike, to this point everything has gone very well and we
at Bridlewilde have felt very comfortable developing in
the City of Eagan. We do not want this to develop into
a bigger problem than it already is. We hope that you
will agree and provide the help needed to have all the
costs included in the Pilot Knob Project, as should
have been done from the beginning.
Sincerely.

Re: Fairway Bills 1st Addition
Completion of Subdivision Improvements (Detention Pond &
Frontage Road)
Contract 86-W
,Dear Mr. Patton:
As you recall, the requirement for the construction of the
detention ponding area in the northwest corner and the
construction of the Camel Back Drive frontage road along the east
side of Pilot Knob Road had to be constructed in a time sequence
compatible with the proposed upgrading of County Road 32 (Cliff
Road) and County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road) by the County. The
following is additional information and details that the City
would like to clarify at this time to provide adequate timing to
ensure this work is properly coordinated with this county road
improvement.
DETENTION POND BASIN (NORTHWEST CORNER)
During the initial preliminary plat and final grading plan
reviews, it was, determined that a detention ponding area was
required in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Cliff
and Pilot Knob Roads to detain excess runoff generated from your
development. During the early phases of the grading permit and
subsequent final plat, the completion of this detention ponding
area could not be accomplished due to the existance of a single
family house at this corner. This house was to be acquired by
the county as a part of the county road improvements.
Subsequently, an interim ponding plan was designed to accommodate
excess runoff from this subdivision until such time that ,the
permanent detention ponding basin could be constructed. As of
last month, the county has completed its acquisition and removal
process of this residential structure which now provides for the
completion of this required detention basin.
THE LONE OAK TREE... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
MR DON PATTON
JANUARY 8, 1988
PAGE 2
Presently, the county is completing detailed plans for the
reconstruction of these county roads adjacent to your
development: A revised grading plan for this required detention
basin based on the final county design is enclosed for your
information. You will note that the construction of this ponding
area requires the extension of your existing storm sewer outfall
and adjustment of an existing sanitary sewer manhole. In order
to minimize any potential adverse impact to the future
construction activity of the county improvement, it will be
necessary to have the proposed drainage basin, storm sewer
extension and related berming completed by the end of April,
1988.
The enclosed grading plan for this detention ponding basin also
shows an additional 30' drainage easement in the northeast corner
of Lot 15, Block 2, at the southern end of this drainage basin to
incorporate the high water elevation of 972.•0. The appropriate
easement document to be executed is also enclosed with this
letter.
Because a portion of' this drainage basin construction is located
within existing county road right-of-way, I encourage you to
contact Mr. Larry Figgins of the Dakota County Highway Department
(431-1150) to determine what permits, if any, are necessary to
initiate and complete this detention drainage basin construction.
Also, the temporary ponding area construction should be removed
and property restored to its proposed final contours with the
a propriate erosion control measures and restoration implemented.
CAMEL BACK DRIVE FRONTAGE ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Because of the significant change in the elevation of Pilot Knob
Road associate wi a county improvement, a temporary access
for Camel Back.Drive was allowed. However, upon completion of
the Pilot Knob Road improvement, this access will have to be
eliminated requiring the completion of the frontage road portion
of Camel Back Drive southerly to, and incorporating, the Dolores
Lane intersection with Pilot Knob Road.
It will be necessary for you to contact the County Highway
Department to obtain the county road improvement design
information to ensure that your frontage road design (elevation,
street grades, setback, radii, etc.,) is compatible with the
final county design and construction.
In preparing your final designs for this frontage road for formal
City review and approval, please be informed that the width of
this street can be reduced from the original 34' (BB) to 30-' (BB)
to provide greater separation between the frontage road and Pilot
Knob Road.

Because of the fast approaching contract award for the county
road improvements, it is necessary for you to begin, in earnest,
compatible scheduling of your responsible improvements to
minimize any conflicts with the county road construction.
Therefore, I would appreciate a written response indicating a
proposed time frame that the City and county can anticipate the
above -referenced work to be initiated and completed by. Please
work directly with Mike Foertsch, Assistant City Engineer, in the
submission of all street and utility plans associated with these
improvements to be performed by your development. Your
anticipated cooperation and prompt response will be greatly
appreciated.

SUBJECT: FAIRWAY HILLS IST ADDITION
REQUEST FOR CITY/COUNTY COST PARTICIPATION
FRONTAGE ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Staff has received a request from Bridlewilde Joint Venture/DMS
Investments for Council consideration for including the cost for
the design and construction of the frontage road in the Fairway
Hills development which lies east of Pilot Knob Road between
Camelback Drive and Interlachen Drive. It appears that the most
appropriate way to respond to Mr. Hermann's letter is to reference
each date shown in his letter and provide a staff response to each
identified occurrence.

There was no need for concern by the County for the
proposed grades on the frontage road since the
Fairway Hills development's willingness to match the
proposed Pilot Knob Road reconstructed grades.

This is the date noted on the Pilot Knob Road
construction plans. It should be noted that the
construction plans for Pi -lot Knob Road included the
following note "proposed Fairway Hills by others".

The issue is not the elevation as much as it is the
location which appears to be not fitting Pilot Knob
Road. To date, the development has not submitted
specific details of the frontage road construction
to verify elevation or location of the utility
structures constructed under the Fairway Hills,Ist

of the frontage road and subsequent construction.
The frontage road width was reduced from 34' to 301.

6-89 The Development was attempting to install the
frontage road in the location as depicted on the
proposed construction plans. There appears to be
an error in the Development's construction plans
because the location and elevation of the frontage
road could not be constructed in the location as
depicted on the plans. Again, the profile, grade,
and location of Pilot Knob Road has not changed from
the original plans dated 3-27-87.
The County has reviewed the letter submitted by Mr. Hermann. The
County's position on the matter is that the developer was ,informed'
of the requirements to build the frontage road before any of their
construction started. It has been stated from the beginning that
the developer's improvements must conform with the approved
construction plan for Pilot Knob Road and Cliff Road. The frontage
road construction from the beginning has always been the
responsibility of the developer.
In summary, there appears to have been a number of correspondence
items between the development and the City and/or the County which
identify the necessity for the development to contact the County
to ensure that the frontage road design is compatible with the
Pilot Knob Road design.
To date, City staff has not received details of'the frontage road
construction that would substantiate the Development's claim for
compensation. The construction plans from the Developer simply
do not provide the level of detail necessary to justify the claim.
There simply must be an error in the construction plans submitted
by the Development. When the Development attempted to construct
the frontage road as shown on his plans, it simply did not fit
where the construction plan shows that it should.
The Development has always been responsible for the frontage road
con ruction and this responsibility has not been shifted to the
Cnd the Coun)y by any action or lack thereof of the City.

Re: C 31-21 Fairway Hills Service Road
Dear Mike:
DAVID L. EVERDS, P.E.
COUNTY ENGINEER
(612) 431-1150
APPLE VALLEY. MINNESOTA 55124
1 am sending comments by Dave Robley on Al Herrmann's letter to
you. The County's position is that the developer was informed of
the requirements to build the service road before any of their
construction started, that the developer's improvements must
conform with the approved construction plan for C 31-21 along
Pilot Knob Road and Cliff Road, and that the service road is the
responsibility of the developer to construct and at his cost.
Dakota County did not approve any plans for Fairway Hills'
utilities or service road. The County did approve the plat with
a temporary connection for Camelback Drive. The County permitted
the Fairway Hills developers to perform work on public right of
way that would conform with the .proposed construction of C 31-21.
Tom Colbert stated in his January 8, 1988 letter to Don Patton
that "it will be necessary for Derrick Companies to contact the
County to insure that the frontage road design is compatible with
the final County design." On March 22, 1988, Derrick Companies
stated that "Probe Engineering coordinated the grades of the
service road to interface with the final grade for Pilot Knob
Road." Construction plans from Probe Engineering dated 1/27/88
for the Pilot Knob Frontage Road, contain a note stating "a
retaining wall will be constructed if necessary." The Pilot Knob
Road grades shown on the 1/27/88 plan by Probe Engineering
conforms with the approved plan for C 31-21. Eagan approved
Probe's plan 6/17/88, which is after the letting date for
C 31-21. Based on this information, the developer should perform
the construction necessary to conform with C 31-21 construction
which is already in place.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
I.f you have any questions, feel free to contact Dave Robley or
me. We plan to have someone at the August 1st Council meeting.

Fairway Hills. This letter specifies that Camelback Drive will
have a temporary connection to CSAH 31 until CSAH 31 is
rebuilt. At that time, the temporary connection will be closed
and must follow the service road southerly. No indication of who
is to construct service road (reads as though developer will
construct). This letter also specifies that Lot 18, Block 5 will
be set aside for the Northern Natural Gas Substation and will be
transferred to the County. The County and City ultimately paid
for this lot.

Letter from Tom Colbert to Don Patton regarding completion of the
detention pond and frontage road. This letter clearly states
that in order to minimize adverse impacts to the County's
construction, the detention pond must be completed by April,

included for his information. This letter also informs the
developer of the need to complete the frontage road along CSAH
31. The developer was instructed to contact the County to insure
that their frontage road desipn conforms with the final County
design. The City allowed a 30 street instead of 34' to make it
easier to design and construct.

Subject: Progress Report Required by City-MWCC Development Agreement
Dear Mr. Hedges:
This letter is intended to serve as the progress report required by
Section 3.2(d) of the City-MWCC Development Agreement.
The Plant Expansion project is proceeding on schedule. The Site
Preparation contract is projected for completion during August, 1989.
The general Plant Expansion contract has been awarded. Construction
is projected to commence approximately when the site preparation has
been completed.
The Residual Solids Management Report has been completed and its
recommended plan has been adopted by MWCC after receiving input from
the City and interested citizens. The project includes odor control
for the sludge incinerators and Solids Processing Building. An engi-
neering design contract has been awarded to HDR/OSM, and preliminary
design will begin this month. The project is proceeding on schedule.
Chemical treatment has been, and will continue to be, used at the
Seneca Plant for odor control. Chlorine is being added to the
influent wastewater at the Seneca Plant headworks area. Potassium
permanganate is being added to the sludge feed to the belt filter
press in the Solids Processing Building. In addition, on an experi-
mental basis, grit tank off -gas is being treated by a leased chemical
scrubber.
Chemical (sodium hypochlorite, i.e. bleach) addition is being used at
Meter 500 on an experimental basis to determine its effectiveness as
an interim or temporary supplement to the odor control system at Meter
500. Due to equipment (pump) failure, additional time is needed to
gather enough data upon which to evaluate the benefits of chemical
addition. Pump repairs are being made, and temporary gravity feed of
chemical is being attempted.

Modifications to the carbon scrubber unit at Meter 500 have been made
to eliminate short-circuiting of gas. Performance has been excellent
since these modifications were made. A chemical scrubber is being
installed at Meter 500 to operate in series with the carbon unit.
This should further improve odor removal efficiency. These improve-
ments will be operational by October 1, 1989.
We were notified on Monday, July 24, 1989, that one of the residences
in the Wuthering Heights area south of the project site was no longer
able to get water from their well. We are currently working to verify
that the loss of water is a result of dewatering activities at the
Seneca Plant project site. If the loss of water is a result of
construction activities at the plant, a service connection to city
water will be provided. In the interim, arrangements have been made
for bottled drinking water delivery to the residence.
A project bulletin has been developed to update interested parties on
the status of the plant expansion, odor task force, well testing and
other activities at the Seneca Plant. This bulletin will be mailed in
early August to local residents, the City of Eagan and other
interested individuals and groups. The purpose of the bulletin is to
improve communication with area residents and the City of Eagan.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

MWCC PROJECT BULLETIN
A Publication From The. Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion — Summer 1989 229-2100
Expansion includes $4.5 million for odor control
Shte preparation is well underway at
the Seneca Wastewater Treatment
Plant in Eagan as workers by the
groundwork for a three-year expansion
and upgrade project now estimated to
cost $68 million.
The expansion and a concurrent solids
handling project include $4.5 million in
odor control improvements.
Doug Warner, project manager for the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commis-
sion, expects site preparation to be com-
plete in August and construction to
begin in August or September. All sys-
tems are expected to be operating by the
fall of 1992.
Approximately 700,000 cubic yards of
dirt will be moved this summer —
enough to bury a football field 500 feet
deep — to make room for additional
treatment tanks and other improvements.
When work is complete, the plant's
treatment capacity will increase from 24
to 34 million gallons per day.
The expansion and upgrade is necessary
to meet growing demands for develop-
ment in Eagan, Burnsville and
Bloomington, and to comply with ever
more strict water and air quality stand-
ards.
Approximately 700,000 cubic yards of dirt will be moved this summer.
"The expansion and upgrade include a
number of odor control measures,"
Warner said. "We'll now be covering
and containing odor in the headworks
area where the wastewater enters the
plant, covering the primary clarifiers,
and then collecting and treating the
odorous ventilation air from all these
areas."
The new odor control system includes a
wet scrubber followed by two carbon ab-
sorption units housed in a separate build-
ing that is part of the expansion.
Two other significant aspects of the ex-
pansion include adding a dechlorina-
Odor committee shares concerns
Su months after it began, a unique
committee comprised of staff mem-
bers from the Metropolitan Waste Con-
trol Commission, the City of Eagan and
Eagan residents is well underway in a
combined effort to improve communica-
tion and resolve concerns surrounding
the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The Seneca Odor Control Advisory
Committee — aptly named after one of
the group's goals — resulted from an
agreement between the MWCC and the
City of Eagan to allow local input on
matters of public concern.
Continued on reverse

tion unit and "super saturating" the
treated wastewater with oxygen. The de-
chlorination unit will neutralize residual
chlorine added to the wastewater to kill
bacteria. "Super saturating" the treated
wastewater with oxygen will reduce the
treated wastewater's impact on the
river, reducing its demand for oxygen
from the untreated river water.
More odor control measures are planned
as part of the concurrent solids handling
improvement project. This project also
includes the installation of afterburners
and wet scrubbers to treat incinerator
exhaust.
The incinerator improvements were
among the recommendations of a con-
sultant hired by the MWCC to study
oda control. The consultant, Malcolm
Pimie, Inc., said the afterburners would
further reduce emission odor and that
wet scrubbers would further reduce ex -
hast particles. As a long range goal, the
MWCC is planning to reduce Seneca
sludge incineration by more than 50 per-
cent by developing marker for land ap-
plication of sludge.
Advisory committee shares concerns
Continued from front
Group members estab-
lished four principle
goals during initial
meetings last winter
and spring:
• to provide for infor-
mation exchange
and open discussion;
• to provide a forum
for preview, review
and updates of con-
struction progress
and status;
• to review odor com-
plaints; and
Committee members Include Fagan residents and
representatives of the MWCC and City of Eagan.
• to resolve potential conflicts and dif-
ficulties by more effective com-
munication.
Bob Polta, MWCC air quality manager
and the agency's designated contact on
the committee, said, "We've had some
wide-ranging discussions, but the com-
mittee has certainly provided a forum
for residents to raise their concerns and
allowed us to actively respond."
Other members of the committee in-
clude two residents from Eagan's
Wuthering Heights neighborhood, one
Eagan resident at -large and one repre-
sentative from the City of Eagan.
Two committee positions that were of-
fered to the Silver Bell/Cedarvale busi-
ness community have not yet been filled.
The MWCC has also been represented
by additional support staff from en-
gineering, construction, oda control,
community relations and from the plant
itself. Several officials from the City of
Eagan have also attended at times.
Karla Eggink, MWCC staff engineer
and oda control specialist, pointed out
that the MWCC is investing $4.5 mil-
lion on odor control equipment in the
current expansion and improvement
project.
"People are comfortable bringing their
concerns forward We may not always
have a quick answer, but we're com-
mitted to finding answers and reporting
them back at a later meeting; she said.
Call the Odor Response Line
The Odor Response Line drew one
dozen calls in its fust three
months of existence. Community Rela-
tions Officer Pauline Langsdorf en-
courages residents to use the service.
"All the complaints are reviewed;
she said. "We need to know where
and when the odor is noticed to deter-
mine the source. We chart the calls on
a cumulative map and study them to
see whether adjustments are necessary
in the system. We want people to
know we're taking steps to improve

the, situation." The Odor Response
Line accepts calls 24 hours per day,
seven days per week, she pointed out.
Well test
results due
back soon
Results are due in late July from a
second set of well tests initialed by
the Metropolitan Waste Control Com-
mission to determine the quality of
water in residential wells bordering the
Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Residents had requested that their wells
be tested before construction began to
establish a baseline for monitoring the
effects of the plant expansion.
The second test was also requested by
area residents after a small but detec-
table amount of organic material was
found in some wells during initial test-
ing Iasi spring.
"The second test is being conducted to
verify the initial results," said Rebecca
Flood, MWCC regulatory compliance
manager.
"It's a goodwill gesture, really, in the
ongoing effort to be a responsible neigh-
bor. When the second test results are in
more information will be available to
the Dakota County Environmental
Health staff to determine the source of
the organics," Flood said.
Water samples were drawn June 28
from nine wells near the treatment
plant. A second laboratory, PACE
Laboratories, is conducting and analyz-
ing the tests using the same method ap-
plied in the first sample.
At the residents' request, results from
the lest will be mailed directly from
PACE Laboratories to interested'
homeowners, the City of Eagan and the
Dakota County Department of Health as
well as to the MWCC.
In a related matter, Flood said the
MWCC has installed two sets of obser-
vation wells near the Minnesota River
to monitor the effect of the plant expan-
sion on the groundwater level at Nicols
Meadow Fen.
The wells are set at depths of 20 feet
and 70 feet Data will be studied to as-
sure preservation of the fen, a protected
wetland.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
D. Project 572, Lexington Way - street & Trunk Water Main --In the
consideration of the proposed street improvement for Lexington
Avenue, there have been several questions raised as to whether
Lexington Way should be upgraded as proposed with a connection to
Lexington Avenue or whether it should end in a cul-de-sac on the
north end. This issue was first raised at the Council meeting on
December 16, 1986, during discussion of the final plat approval for
the Lexington Hills Addition apartment complex located on the east
side of Lexington Avenue. Due to the apartment's proposed access
on to Lexington Avenue, there was a requirement with support from
staff and the City Council to cul-de-sac the north end of Lexington
Way with development of the church property on the east side
currently being processed as the Eagan Evangelical Covenant Church
Addition which was formally reviewed by the Planning Commission on
July 25 with Council consideration to occur on August 15, 1989.
With the provision of this cul-de-sac, there are references to the
developer (Jim Curry) committing to a financial participation of
$15,000 for its construction and a requirement for an east/west
'street or semi-public access between Lexington Way and Lexington
Avenue through the proposed Evangelical Church development.
With the preliminary plat of the Evangelical Covenant Church being
considered on August 15, it may be appropriate to continue this
public hearing until that same meeting to discuss both issues
concurrently. In the meantime, staff will try to research the
status of the escrow and the County's current position regarding
the cul-de-sac and church access on to Lexington Way.

How WE SPENrI, THE 19806:
A PRE -CENSUS LOOK
AT A CHANGING AMERICA
Immigration, inner city decline and an aging
population create issues that will
preoccupy local policy makers for years.
By Rob Gurwitt
On the edge of downlou-n St. Paul, Minnesota, a
half mile from the marble dome of the stale
capitol, stands one of the most striking outposts of
demographic change anysyhere in America.
it hardly seems remarkable at first: a public housing
project with a single brick high-rise and a collection of
box}' apartments in tired browns and greens, scattered over
a small hillside. On a warn day in late spring, young
children play in the tiny yards that border the apartments,
and an old woman stands watching the occasional car pass
by. A few hundred yards away, traffic shuffles into a
freeway construction zone.
This is nn ordinary urban backwater, though. Most of
the children who cone spilling out of the school buses that
pull up in mid-afternoon are the first in their families to
go to school—any kind of school. Few of the people
driving through the neighborhood had even well a car 10
Yeats ago. The old women, with cloth coils resting on their
heads and delicately traced traditional clothing oil their
backs, could have stepped out of a Southeast Asian village.
Which, in fact, they did. There are almost 300 families
living at Mount Airy Homes, as this project is called, and
more than 90 percent of them are limong refugees from
the hills of Laos. They are part of a small flood of llmong
M-110 have arrived in St. Paul over the course of this decade.
They represent a single piece of compelling evidence about
how dramatically the face of America has changed in the
nine years since the last census.
During the 1980s, the United States has become more
deeply multi-ethnic and culturally diverse, as Asians of all
nationalities have moved into Fresno and Sall Lake City,
Chicago. Los Angeles and Seattle, Honolulu and Provi-
dence, while from the south Mexicans, Haitians, Salva-
dorans and other Central Americans have streamed, legally
and illegally, over the border.
That tidal wave of immigrants is only, the runs[ dramatic
manifestation of how unsettled this counlry's human
landscape is. The landscape has also been shifting in oliler,
subtler ways over the past 10 years, even in a cnmparn-
lively placid corner of the Midwest. A few miles west of
Mount Airy Homes, in Minneapolis, race relations and
racial issues have taken on new currency as the cilds
minority population grows beyond its traditionally minus-
cule dimensions. Older suburbs along Minneapolis' borders,
unrried about the aging of their populations, are struggling

Meamyhile, to [lie south, 10 miles dorl'n the freeway that
passes by Mount Airy Ifomes, a tier of new suburbs mound
the tmvn of Eagan tries to come to terms with storming
growth.
Similar shifts are changing the character of central cities
and their suburbs all across the counlrl. And as they do,
they are creating issues that will preoccupy local policy
makers for years to come. The first chance In gauge these
.changes fully and accurately won't come until well after
next year's decennial census is taken. Although sonic
preliminary numbers should be not by the end mf 1990,
detailed results will not be avallable until 1991 or 1992.
Still, even before the census is completed, -it's possible to
answer some crucial questions. The U.S. Census Bureau's
Current Population Survey gives generally reliable infor-
mation about population shifts at the national and regional
levels. Local and slate officials who want to follow their
changing communities use birth and death statistics, school
enrollment information, driver's license transfers for people
moving into the state, construction permits and occasional
surveys to gel a notion of whal's happening on their lurf.

and a new high school in the fall, and will soon break
ground un two more elementary schools. "I don't know
Ilnw long this can continue," says JoAnne Ellison, the
schotd district's demographer. "Even opening the two
elementaries, that'll only last us about two years."
This is a fertile area in more than one sense. The
Iluggies cartons piled at the end of driveways on trash day
are le5linunty to the fact that the district is going 10 have
to keep building schools for a while. There are some 180)0
children spread throughout the school system, and already
another 9,3(10 pre-schoolers who will be entering it in the
next four or five years.
Demographics will only compound the situation in the
1990s. Ellison las found in her surveys that, contrary to
now. The Denver area grew rapidly between 1980 and
1985, bill in the past few years the rate has dropped
dramatically, hampered by a recession caused by the
collapse of the oil and gas industries, a shakeout in
high-technology businesses, and agricultural problems.
The drop in the rale of growth comes despite Denver's
attractiveness as a location. The twin blessings of sunshine
and mountains had given local boosters a deep-seated faith
that people would flock there no matter what. But as one
Colorado official puts it, "In the last few years, a lot more
people have left Denver than moved here. Now, the
mountains haven't moved farther away, and the sun isn't
shining any less; it has to do with the ability of a
metropolitan area to support its people."
Denver's situation is a
reminder that the grand
sweep of numbers measur-
ing growth and decline
over a decade can hide Ilse
most interesting local sto-
ries. The 1990 census will
show, for example, that sub-
urban Aurora, just east of
Denver, grew al an as-
tounding pace during the
1980s. What it will not
show is that in the past year
or so, Aurora may actually
have lost population. By the
same token, knowing that
metropolitan San Diego
grew 23 percent between
1980 and 1987 may be less
important than knowing
that the northern part of
the county was attracting
middle-class home buyers
from more expensive Or-
ange and Riverside coun-
ties, while the south was
drawing Hispanic and
Asian immigrants who
couldn't afford to live anywhere else in the area.
The demographer's art—and the policy maker's burden—
lies in discerning the subtleties behind the big numbers. It
is an art, because the demographer who pursues the
numbers imaginatively creates meaning. it is a burden,
because every change affects the community in which it
occurs, and public officials have to deal with the results.
Streams of Hmong displace others in need of public
housing. A rising black population forces officials in what
used to be an overwhelmingly while city to deal with racial
tension for the first time. Older people who elect to hold
on to their houses as long as possible may bring about the
decline of a school district. The most important point is
sometimes buried in the statistical tables: Demographics is
ultimately about politics. Or, as St. Paul Planning Director
Peggy Reichert puts it, "The minute you start talking
about l u alters, it's good news or bad news to some-
one." ❑
The Rosemount school district hired demogrupher JoAnne ewson to netp n p,,.,, .o.
the community's growth. 'I don't know how long thiscan continue,' she says.
what she had expected, the starter homes in the area are
bringing iu.few children; instead, childless young couples
are buying those houses, using two incomes to pay the
mortgage and po stpouiug children for a while. The houses
attracting families with children are in the higher price
range. And since those are the ones now being built in the
areas ole n to development, the school-age population may
increase at an even faster rate in the 1990s.
It is tempting in the face of such numbers to think of
groxlh as a community destiny. Certainly Eagan
expects to keep growing: Hedges believes that it has

Subject: Progress Report Required by City-MWCC Development Agreement
Dear Mr. Hedges:
This letter is intended to serve as the progress report required by
Section 3.2(d) of the City-MWCC Development Agreement.
The Plant Expansion project is proceeding on schedule. The Site
Preparation contract is projected for completion during August, 1989.
The general Plant Expansion contract has been awarded. Construction
is projected to commence approximately when the site preparation has
been completed.
The Residual Solids Management Report has been completed and its
recommended plan has been adopted by MWCC after receiving input from
the City and interested citizens. The project includes odor control
for the sludge incinerators and Solids Processing Building. An engi-
neering design contract has been awarded to HDR/OSM, and preliminary
design will begin this month. The project is proceeding on schedule.
Chemical treatment has been, and will continue to be, used at the
Seneca Plant for odor control. Chlorine is being added to the
influent wastewater at the Seneca Plant headworks area. Potassium
permanganate is being added to the sludge feed to the belt filter
press in the Solids Processing Building. In addition, on an experi-
mental basis, grit tank off -gas is being treated by a leased chemical
scrubber.
Chemical (sodium hypochlorite, i.e. bleach) addition is being used at
Meter 500 on an experimental basis to determine its effectiveness as
an interim or temporary supplement to the odor control system at Meter
500. Due to equipment (pump) failure, additional time is needed to
gather enough data upon which to evaluate the benefits of chemical
addition. Pump repairs are being made, and temporary gravity feed of
chemical is being attempted.

Modifications to the carbon scrubber unit at Meter 500 have been made
to eliminate short-circuiting of gas. Performance has been excellent
since these modifications were made. A chemical scrubber is being
installed at Meter 500 to operate in series with the carbon unit.
This should further improve odor removal efficiency. These improve-
ments will be operational by October 1, 1989.
We were notified on Monday, July 24, 1989, that one of the residences
in the Wuthering Heights area south of the project site was no longer
able to get water from their well. We are currently working to verify
that the loss of water is a result of dewatering activities at the
Seneca Plant project site. If the loss of water is a result of
construction activities at the plant, a service connection to city
water will be provided. In the interim, arrangements have been made
for bottled drinking water delivery to the residence.
A project bulletin has been developed to update interested parties on
the status of the plant expansion, odor task force, well testing and
other activities at the Seneca Plant. This bulletin will be mailed in
early August to local residents, the City of Eagan and other
interested individuals and groups. The purpose of the bulletin is to
improve communication with area residents and the City of Eagan.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

MWCC PROJECT BULLETIN
A Publication From The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion — Summer 1989 229-2100
Expansion includes $4.5 million for odor control
Stae preparation is well underway at
the Seneca Wastewater Treatment
Plant in Fagan as workers lay the
groundwork for a three-year expansion
and upgrade project now estimated to
cost $68 million.
The expansion and a concurrent solids
handling project include $4.5 million in
oda control improvements.
Doug Warner, project manager for the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commis-
sion, expects site preparation to be com-
plete in August and construction to
begin in August or September. All sys-
tems are expected to be operating by the
fall of 1992.
Approximately 700,000 cubic yards of
dirt will be moved this summer -
enough to bury a football field 500 feet
deep - to make room for additional
treatment tanks and other improvements.
When work is complete, the plant's
treatment capacity will increase from 24
to 34 million gallons per day.
The expansion and upgrade is necessary
to meet growing demands for develop-
ment in Eagan, Burnsville and
Bloomington, and to comply with ever
more strict water and air quality stand-
ards.
Approximately 7110,1100 cubic yards of dirt will be moved this summer.
"The expansion and upgrade include a
number of odor control measures,"
Warner said. "We'll now be covering
and containing odor in the headworks
area where the wastewater enters the
plant, covering the primary clarifiers,
and then collecting and treating the
odorous ventilation air from all these
areas."
The new odor control system includes a
wet scrubber followed by two carbon ab-
sorption units housed in a separate build-
ing that is part of the expansion.
Two other significant aspects of the ex-
pansion include adding a dechlorina-
Odor committee shares concerns
Su months after it began, a unique
committee comprised of staff mem-
bers from the Metropolitan Waste Con-
trol Commission, the City of Eagan and
Eagan residents is well underway in a
combined effort to improve communica-
tion and resolve concerns surrounding
the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The Seneca Odor Control Advisory
Committee - aptly named after one of
the group's goals - resulted from an
agreement between the MWCC and the
City of Fagan to allow local input on
matters of public concern.
Continued on reverse
A43
lion unit and "super saturating" the
treated wastewater with oxygen. The de-
chlorination unit will neutralize residual
chlorine added to the wastewater to kill
bacteria. "Super saturating" the treated
wastewater with oxygen will reduce the
treated wastewater's impact on the
river, reducing its demand for oxygen
from the untreated river water.
More odor control measures are planned
as part of the concurrent solids handling
improvement project. This project also
includes the installation of afterburners
and wet scrubbers to treat incinerator
exhaust.
The incinerator improvements were
among the recommendations of a con-
sultant hired by the MWCC to study
oda control. The consultant, Malcolm
Pirnie, Inc., said the afterburners would
further reduce emission odor and that
wet scrubbers would further reduce ex -
hast particles. As a long range goal, the
MWCC is planning to reduce Seneca
sludge incineration by more than 50 per-
cent by developing market for lard ap-
plication of sludge.
Advisory committee shares concerns
Continued from front
Group members estab-
lished four principle
goals during initial
meetings last winter
and spring:
• to provide for infor-
mation exchange
and open discussion;
• to provide a forum
for preview, review
and updates of con-
struction progress
and status;
• to review odor com-
plaints; and
Committee members Include Eagan residents and
representatives of the MWCC and City of Eagan.
• to resolve potential conflicts and dif-
ficulties by more effective com-
munication.
Bob Polta, MWCC air quality manager
and the agency's designated contact on
the committee, said, "We've had some
wide-ranging discussions, but the com-
mittee has certainly provided a forum
for residents to raise their concerns and
allowed us to actively respond."
Other members of the committee in-
clude two residents from Eagan's
Wuthering Heights neighborhood, one
Eagan resident at -large and one repre-
sentative from the City of Eagan.
Two committee positions that were of-
fered to the Silver Be0/Cedarvale busi-
ness community have not yet been filled.
The MWCC has also been represented
by additional support staff from en-
gineering, construction, odor control,
community relations and from the plant
itself. Several officials from the City of
Eagan have also attended at times.
Karla Eggink, MWCC staff engineer
and odor control specialist, pointed out
that the MWCC is investing $4.5 mil-
lion on odor control equipment in the
current expansion and improvement
Project.
"People are comfortable bringing their
concerns forward We may not always
have a quick answer, but we're com-
mitted to finding answers and reporting
them back at a later meeting," she said.
Call the Odor Response Line
The Odor Response Line drew one
dozen calls in its fust three
months of existence. Community Rela-
tions Officer Pauline Langsdorf en-
courages residents to ,use the service.
"All the complaints are reviewed,"
she said. "We need to know where
and when the odor is noticed to deter-
mine the source. We chart the calls on
a cumulative map and study them to
see whether adjustments are necessary
in the system. We want people to
know we're taking steps to improve

Line accepts calls 24 hours per day,
seven days per week, she pointed out.

Well test
results dile
back soon
Results are due in late July from a
second set of well tests initiated by
the Metropolitan Waste Control Com-
mission to determine the quality of
water in residential wells bordering the
Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant
Residents had requested that their wells
be tested before construction began to
establish a baseline for monitoring the
effects of the plant expansion.
The second test was also requested by
area residents after a small but detec-
table amount of organic material was
found in some wells during initial test-
ing last spring.
"'Ihe second test is being conducted to
verify the initial results; said Rebecca
Flood, MWCC regulatory compliance
manager.
"It's a goodwill gesture, really, in the
ongoing effort to be a responsible neigh-
bor. When the second test results are in
more information will be available to
the Dakota County Environmental
Health staff to determine the source of
the organics," Flood said.
Water samples were drawn June 28
from nine wells near the treatment
plant. A second laboratory, PACE
Laboratories, is conducting and analyz-
ing the tests using the same method ap-
plied in the fust sample.
Al the residents' request, results from
the test will be mailed directly from
PACE Laboratories to interested'
homeowners, the City of Eagan and the
Dakota County Department of Health as
well as to the MWCC.
In a related matter, Flood said the
MWCC has installed two sets of obser-
vation wells near the Minnesota River
to monitor the effect of the plant expan-
sion on the groundwater level at Nicols
Meadow Fen.
'The wells are set at depths of 20 feet
and 70 feet Data will be studied to as-
sure preservation of the fen, a protected
wedand.

July 24, 1989
Dear Mayor and members of the City Council,
My name is Audrey Luhrs. I am co -publisher and
director of advertising for Business Ink magazine. Margaret
Peck is co -publisher and editor.
In September, we plan to feature Eagan and have a
beautiful, four color cover of "The Waters" development
center. It is our intention to have coverage of some new
and some long established members of your business
community, including Signal Bank's new location, Drover's
Bank, Cliff Lake Center and others.
In the past we have featured the cities of Burnsville,
Apple Valley, South St. Paul, West St. Paul and Hastings.
We made a proposal at the council meeting and in each case,
the councils approved purchase of a full page advertisement
for the city to lead off the special section.
I ask that you consider and approve the same for Eagan
by voting to place on full page ad in black and white at a
cost of S550.00. If you wish to addcolor, add S150.00.
Thank you for your consideration. I will bring samples
to the meeting if you wish to see them.
Sincerely,
Audrey Luhrs

MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HOHENSTEIN
DATE: JULY 31, 1989
SUBJECT: DAKOTA COUNTY YARD WASTE BAN
This memo shall serve as an update on Dakota County waste abatement issues,
specifically the yard waste ban which takes affect on August 1. Fortunately this
sounds more ominous than it is. Homeowners should still be able to dispose of
their yard wastes through their respective haulers, but it must be set out
separately from the regular waste just as recyclables currently are.
BACKGROUND
State legislation will ban yardwaste from landfills beginning January 1, 1990.
As much as 208 of the waste stream is yardwaste and compostible material so a
ban has a substantial waste abatement -impact. In an effort to achieve higher
abatement volumes in 1989, Dakota County moved the effective date up to August
1, 1989. This will divert much of the fall leaves from landfill disposal.
The basic requirements of the County ordinance make it illegal for landfills to
accept yardwaste or mixed municipal solid waste which includes yardwaste. My
reading of the ordinance is that it also makes it illegal for a hauler knowingly
to mix ordinary waste and'yardwaste in the same load. It is further illegal for
those disposing of wastes to mix ordinary waste and yardwaste. I believe that
all of these actions are misdemeanors.
Obviously it will be difficult to enforce any of these provisions except at the
landfill gate. Therefore, it will be necessary for the haulers to attempt to
communicate with their customers and use means to encourage them to comply. The
City can and will support this communication with information pieces of our own,
DISCUSSION
Staff has discussed this ordinance with various haulers and all have indicated
that they intend to continue to accept yardwaste. To comply with the ordinance,
however„ it will be necessary for them to collect such material on a separate
route.. This may imply additional cost to the consumer.. As a consequence, I
believe we will see an increase in the activity at our City compost site and
increased interest in backyard composting.
As you may recall, we rather quietly removed the City's previous prohibition of
backyard composting when the solid waste ordinance was amended last year. Staff
has not strongly encouraged such activity to date, but we have provided
information to those requesting it on appropriate composting techniques if they
choose to do it.
The issue we are facing is the potential for substantially higher waste disposal
costs as tipping fees increase and as state mandates require a segmentation of
the waste stream. Until the industry innovates to provide for a variety of
materials on a single vehicle, additional materials will require additional trips
down each haulers routes. Even if a combined vehicle were developed, the
location of disposal and recycling facilities throughout the county may make it
cost effective for haulers to continue to use individual units for each type of
material.
c25"3
The operational change for customers is minimal. Yardwastes must be kept
separate from other waste, but they will still be collected. If the cost of
hauler disposal is perceived to be too high, however, more may choose to drop
off materials at the compost site. While staff is attempting to make provision
for this additional use, including identifying possible alternative sites for
additional capacity, the Council may get calls about this matter because it
entails change.
CONCLUSION
The County yardwaste ban will not eliminate yardwaste disposal service for
residents. As long as people are willing to pay for separate disposal, someone
will provide it. The additional cost associated with it will encourage some
people to not bag their clippings or to use backyard or centralized composting
alternatives. If you have any questions in this regard, please let me know.

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: JULY 28" 1989
SUBJECT: UPDATE
BETTY BASSETT PRESENTATION
Included on the August 1 agenda is a request by Betty Bassett to
address the City Council on various issues pertaining to the Seneca
Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion. Betty and other members of
the Odor Committee have raised several issues pertaining to
operations and expansion of the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant
and are feeling frustrated that the MWCC is not providing answers
to their questions. Attachments, both Betty's letter and a memo
responding to the letter prepared by Kristy Marnin, will indicate
that several of the issues are outside the scope and purpose of the
Odor Committee. Staff has attempted to request that members of the.,
Committee focus on the specific objective that was outlined in the
development agreement, however, invariably the discussion leads to
many other issues as outlined in Betty's letter.
Realizing this is a non -action item, the City Council may want to
limit the, discussion time and re -emphasis that the purpose of the
Committee'is to address the issues identified in the development
agreement. I wrote a memo that was circulated to the Committee
approximately two (2) months ago that provided a specific direction
for their Committee work as I interpreted the intent of the
development agreement. Attached is a copy of that memo.
Certainly, the City Council has the right to expand the scope and
tasks of the Committee, and this is your alternative.
ROSENE EVENING WEDNESDAY AUGUST 2
For those of you that are planning to attend the Rosene outing on
Wednesday, August 2, at the Minnesota orchestra Hall, Tom Colbert
and I would be happy to 'provide carpooling from a location to be
determined. We can discuss arrangements immediately following the
meeting on Tuesday.

MEMO TO: Dale Runkle, Community Development Director
FROM: Tom Hedges, City Administrator
DATE: May 8, 1989
SUBJECT: Seneca Odor Control Advisory Committee
It has come to my attention that questions have been raised
regarding the role of the Seneca Odor Control Advisory Committee,
established under the Seneca Plant Development Agreement between
the City and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC). To
clarify this issue, following is a brief discussion of this
Development Agreement.
The Seneca Plant Development Agreement is an agreement between the
City of Eagan and the MWCC. The Odor Control Adyisory Committee
is not a party to this agreement. In this agreement, specific
conditions are listed which must be satisfied by the MWCC and the
.,City with regard to platting, permits, sludge management and odor
monitoring. The Community Development Department is the
responsible department within the City for the supervision and
enforcement of the Agreement for the City.
Section 3.1.c. of the Agreement requires the MWCC to implement an
odor control program which includes, among other things, an odor
advisory committee. The purpose of this committee is to provide
a forum for informational exchanges and discussions between the
MWCC, the City and interested citizens regarding the plant
expansion, operations and odor issues. The committee's authority
is advisory only, and does not extend beyond these duties.
I will be unable to attend the next committee meeting on May 10,
1989, because I will be attending an out-of-town conference.
However, City Attorney Jim Sheldon will attend this meeting to
assist in any clarification of the committee's duties. Kristy
Marnin, Planner I, is the City's official representative to this
committee, and has been coordinating committee activities with the
two of us. Since the committee has not yet elected a chair, Kristy
should chair the committee until one is elected.
If there are any other concerns regarding the Seneca Odor Control
Advisory Committee, please advise.

meeting minutes for the July 18 City Council meeting, the following
items are in order for consideration.
A. PARKS DEPARTMENT
Item 1. Acquisition, One -Half Acre Parcel Adjacent to Diffley/
,I,esington Athletic Site --The Parks and Recreation Advisory
Commission is recommending the acquisition of Lot 3, Block 2 of
Kensington Addition, the one-half acre parcel on the north side of
Cambridge Court that is currently owned by First Financial
Corporation, as an additional parcel concluding the land
acquisition for the Diffley/Lexington athletic site.
For additional information on this item, refer to a staff report
prepared by the Director of Parks and Recreation enclosed on pages
y through 3 . The Director of Community Development has
reviewed th Kensington PUD agreement, his comments are included
on page /.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the
acquisition of Lot 3, Block 2 of Kensington Addition, a one-half
acre parcel on the north side of Cambridge Court from First
Financial Corporation.
MEMORANDUM
TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM ;i,.p KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
DATE: JULY 11, 1989
RE: DIFFLEY/LEXINGTON ATHLETIC SITE
FIRST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
BACKGROUND:
The City Council previously approved the acquisition of the Diffley/Lexington
athletic site from H.U.D. Lot 3, Block 2 of Kensington Addition, the 1/2 acre
^parcel on the north side of Cambridge Court and owned by First Financial
Corporation was also to be acquired. Staff has had several contacts with the
representative for First Financial to discuss the purchase price.
PROPERTY USE•
The parcel was originally intended to be used as the commons area for the planned
townhouse/condominiums. A swimming pool shell was constructed on the lot in
anticipation of its use in this manner.
The Planning Department/Community Development has been asked to review the
Kensington P.U.D. agreement and make a determination as to if the property could
be used for any other purpose which would obviously have an impact on the value.
STATUS OF NEGOTIATIONS:
Staff had suggested an acquisition price of $9,000 to the Owner. This is about
the same per acre cost the City acquired the H.U.D. property for. The Seller
was to also pay for all assessments and taxes.
Recently, the Seller has responded with a counter offer to the City. They are
willing to sell the parcel at $7,500 w-ith the City to assume all assessments and
taxes. A call to the County revealed that there remains $3,980 in assessments
and a total of $4,426 in tax for years 1987, 1988 and 1989. There would also
be an interest charge possibility calculated after July 1. Attached is the
Seller's response with the counter offer.
DISCUSSION•
The City has several options. Accept the terms or attempt to negotiate a
different price. The City could also consider allowing the parcel to go into
tax forfeiture, but this assumes the developer would not try to develop the land
in some other manner. The City could also consider condemnation if it is felt
that this would be successful in significantly reducing the purchase price.
0
FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
To approve the acqu,is,ition of the parcel at the Seller's offer
or
To not approve the acquisition at the Seller's price and to

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: DALE C. RUNKLE, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: "JULY 26, 1989
RE: AUGUST 1, 1989 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEMS
The Community Development. Department has been asked to coordinate
and review the status of the Planned Development Agreement for
Lexington South as it relates to the Kensington development.
it appears that the appraised/market value of the one-half acre
parcel in the Kensington development would be the same as the 67
acres to the north previously acquired by the City. The value of
the property should be based on the same factors used previously
in the analysis of the property to the north. Any negotiated price
which was better than the purchase price of the 67 acres would be
;a benefit to the City. At this point, they have not done an
analysis of the property other than comparing this parcel to the
parcel to the north and the same circumstances would apply.
If additional information is required, we could request more
appraisals and detailed information, however we feel the results
would be the same; it would be compared with the 67 acres.

PARRS DEPARTMENT CONTID
Item 2. Select Architectural Services, 1990 Park Building Design
and Construction --At the recommendation of the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission and in concurrence with the City Council, the
architectural firm of Schwartz/Weber has designed and coordinated
construction management of park shelter buildings in several City
parks during the past three to four years. Recently, the original
contract with the firm was kept open and extended in order to
complete the building contract for 1987 and again during 1988 to
complete the design/construction management for the Thomas Lake
park shelter building. There are three (3) parks that will contain
park shelter buildings and in the case of Blackhawk Park a park
pavilion, all three to be considered for construction in early
1990. It is the recommendation of the Director of Parks and
Recreation on behalf of the Parka, and Recreation Advisory
,Commission is recommending the selection of Schwartz/Weber
AArchitects to perform design/construction of park shelter buildings
in 1990 or authorize a time line and RFP architectural process to
select the new architectural firm to complete the design and
construction.management as presented. For additional information
on this item, refer to a memo prepared by the Director of Parks and
Recreation included on pages _4:_ through __;L_.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the 1)
selection of Schwartz/Weber Architects to perform design/
construction of park shelter buildings in 1990 or 2) authorize a
time line and RFP architectural process to select a new
architectural firm.
MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS A RECREATION
DATE: JULY 13, 1989
RE: ARCHITECT SELECTION 1990 PARK BUILDING DESIGN
AND CONSTRUCTION
BACKGROUND
The Advisory Commission, City Council, and City staff previously selected the
architectural firm of Schwarz/Weber to design/construct park shelter buildings.
The original contract with the firm was kept open and extended in order to
complete the building contract of 1987, and again last ,year to complete the
design/construction of the Thomas,Lake Park shelter building.
It is anticipated that Blackhawk Park will have a park pavilion; preliminary
concept plans would be beneficial to have for an eventual neighborhood meeting
regarding this park.
In addition, park shelter buildings for Bridle Ridge Park and Ohmann Park are
called for and should be under contract by early 1990, for fall 1990 use.
ISSUE
Staff is seeking .authorization to hire
architectural services with Schwarz/Weber
for a Blackhawk Park building and proceed
Park and Ohmann Park.
ALTERNATIVES AND DISCUSSION
and/or negotiate a contract for
Architects to prepare concept plans
with building plans for Bridle Ridge
The Council may wish to consider sending out requests for proposals, and again
go through a selection process which would lead to the hiring of an architectural
firm to do the above mentioned work. However, the department staff has been very
pleased with the design work, as well as the attention to the construction phase,,
that Schwarz/Weber has provided to the City. This feeling is shared by the
Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission. Consequently, there is not a good
reason to exclude Schwarz/Weber from any firms asked to respond to an R.F.P.,
based on their work history with the City. It would not be unusual for us to
award the work directly to this firm. However, if there is overwhelming or a
compelling reason to select another firm, this would be an opportune time to
begin a process that would lead to the selection of another firm.
2
ARCHITECT SELECTION
JULY 13, 1989
PAGE TWO
Staff is recommending that Schwarz/Weber be hired, assuming a suitable contract
can be negotiated, to do the design and construction contract, for 1990 park
shelter buildings.
Their past performance, both in design and construction phase management, has
been excellent. This past experience with the City would be advantageous, due
to the fact that they are familiar with the structures , building materials
pallet and understand the design concerns of the City,. I believe that most
individuals within the. City,, as well as the ,public, are pleased with the current
park shelter buildings; therefore, continuation of their work is well justified.
It would also be advantageous to work with them, in that park shelter buildings
for Bridle Ridge and Ohmann Park are likely to be replicas of existing,
structures, and modifications to existing plans would be readily adaptable
through this firm, rather than a whole new drawing process with another company.
FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Authorize the hiring of Schwarz/Weber Architects to do the design/construction
contract for 1990 park shelter buildings (assuming successful negotiations for
a work contract), or authorize a timeline and R.F.P. architectural process for

Agenda Information Memo
August 1, 1989 City Council Meeting
B. FINANCE DEPARTMENT
Item 1. Renewal of General Insurance and Workers Compensation --
Mr. Jeff Bowers of First Insurance has completed the renewal
application process for the City of Eagan's renewal of general
liability and workers compensation. For additional information on
this item, refer to a memo prepared by the Director of Finance
which includes support documentation prep red by First Insurance.
This information is enclosed on pages �, through 4 --
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the
insurance renewal for July 1, 1989 through June 30, 1990.
MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: FINANCE DIRECTOR/CITY CLERK VANOVERBEKE
DATE: JULY 26, 1989
SUBJECT: INSURANCE RENEWAL - JULY 1, 1989, THROUGH, JUNE 30, 1990
Mr. Jeff Bowers of First Insurance has completed the renewal
application process with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance
Trust. The renewal package is, therefore, in order for
consideration by the City Council.
Attached to this memo is the following supporting documentation:
1. Summary of Insurance This material highlights the
coverages which are currently in force for the City as
well as the deductibles and limits. (Pages 1-5)
2. Premium Recap This single page shows the premium by
coverage type for the various types of coverages as
outlined in the summary. (Page 6)
3. Comparative Analysis These two pages compare the
premiums for 1988 with those proposed for 1989. You will
note that in nearly every case the total premiums are
increasing, however, the increases relate to the size of
the operation. For example, property coverage shows an
increase in value covered of 32.3% while the total
premium has increased 10.7%. In other words, if the
value had remained constant, the premium would have been
reduced. (Pages 7 & 8)
4. Optional Coverage Ouotation At our request, a quotation
was solicited for excess liability. As you will note,
the premium is '$68,966 for $1,000,000 of excess liability
coverage. This appears to be rather expensive, but the
City Council should make a specific determination as to
whether or not it is desired. Staff recommendation would
be that the premium is too high for the protection
afforded and the coverage should not be purchased at this
time. (Page 9')
As we discussed briefly, consideration has also been given to
increase certain deductibles to reduce the premiums. Possible
changes and savings would be as follows:
Deductible
Current Other
$1,000 $10,000
$1,000 $25,000
Property Coverage
9
Premium Savings
$2,784
$4,858
General Liability
Deductible
Current Other
$5,,000 $10,000
$5,000 $25,000
Premium Savings
$5,314
$11,958
Again the utilization of higher deductibles is a matter the City
Council might want to consider. Staff recommendation would be that
in the current market the relatively small savings would not
justify the greater exposure for the City and the deductibles
should remain as they currently exist.
Workers Compensation is an area of concern at this point as the
City's experience modification factor has increased from .85 to
1.01. The frequency and severity of claims has increased
dramatically. We will be working with First Insurance and EBA to
increase our efforts at loss prevention as well as reviewing ways
to reduce overall costs by paying certain medical claims outside
,,of the current system.
Please let me know if you would like to discuss this in more detail
or if you would like any additional information.

Dear Mr. Van Overbeke:
In the course of our compliance review for the restruc-
tured bond program captioned above, KRC Resources, Inc.
discovered defects in the First Supplemental Trust Inden-
ture (the "First Supplemental Indenture") executed in con-
nection with the restructuring. A description of these
defects is set forth in our Annual Report dated October 31,
1988, a copy of which is enclosed. Specifically, the First
Supplemental Indenture:
(a) needs to require that excess moneys over the
Mortgage Reserve Fund Requirement be transferred to the
Principal Prepayment Subaccount semiannually to be used
to redeem bonds; and
(b) needs to provide that excess moneys in the
General Account be transferred to the Principal Prepay-
ment Subaccount after each interest payment date.
We have received confirmation from Ms. Joan M. DiMarco
of Laventhol & Horwath that the cash-flow projections pre-
pared at the time of the restructuring made the assumption
that the transfers described above would be made at the times
described above. Consequently, we are suggesting that the
City of Eagan, Minnesota, as Issuer, and First Trust National
Association, as Trustee, enter into a Second Supplemental
Trust Indenture (the "Second Supplemental Indenture") to cure
the defects.

Pursuant to Section 4.03 of the First Supplemental
Indenture, the written consent of the Bond Insurer is
required for the execution of supplemental indentures. I
have enclosed a copy of the Bond Insurer's consent letter.
We would like you, as Finance Director for the City of
Eagan, to turn over the appropriate documents to your coun-
sel. We would like your counsel to take the following action:
1. review the documents to satisfy himself that
there is nothing out of order;
2. ask the City to pass a Resolution authorizing
the execution of a Second Supplemental Indenture and
then have the City execute the Second Supplemental
Indenture (this may be done at any regular meeting of
the City's governing body); and
3. render his opinion as to the validity of the
Second Supplemental Indenture.
To that end, I have enclosed the Second Supplemental Inden-
ture and forms of the Resolution, the validity opinion we
would like your counsel to render and the opinion of Kutak
Rock & Campbell as to the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. I
have included several extra signature pages of the Second
Supplemental Indenture and the Resolution so that all parties
may have original signature pages when I prepare transcripts.
Of course, should the language in the Second Supplemen-
tal Indenture not meet with your approval, we would expect to
hear from your counsel with his comments. I would appreciate
your returning to me the executed Second Supplemental Inden-
ture and Resolution and the extra executed signature pages.
I will also need a validity opinion from your counsel on his
or the City's letterhead. Once I have the necessary docu-
ments in hand, I will arrange to procure the tax opinion of
Kutak Rock & Campbell and I will prepare transcripts for all
parties. I have sent the Second Supplemental Indenture to
the Trustee today for its review and signature and have asked
the Trustee to return the executed document to me.
For your information, Section 10.02 of the original
Trust Indenture provides that the consent of First Interstate
Mortgage Company, the Program Administrator (the "Administra-
tor"), is required before a supplemental indenture may be
executed. You indicated to me in our phone conversation
today that I may rely on you and your counsel to secure the
2�

Administrator's consent. I have enclosed a form that the
Administrator may use in giving its consent and a copy of the
Second Supplemental Indenture that should be sent to the
Administrator along with the consent form.
To summarize what I need from, you, here is a checklist:
1. Executed Second Supplemental Indenture and
counterparts of -signature page;;
2. Executed Resolution and counterparts of
signature page;
3. Opinion of counsel to City on 'appropriate
letterhead (form of opinion enclosed in this letter); and
4. Consent signed by First Interstate Mortgage
Company, the Program Administrator.
Please do not hesitate to call me or Steve M. Skoumal,
counsel to KRC Resources, Inc., at (402) 346-6000 with any
questions you may have. Thank you for your assistance in
this matter.

Director of Finance is recommending that all, general budget
adjustments and revenue contributions be ratifiedby the City
Council.
Enclosed on pages through 0 is a copy of a memorandum

Fund Budget, Adjustments.
M
MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: FINANCE DIRECTOR/CITY CLERK VANOVERBEKE
DATE: JULY 27, 1989
SUBJECT: 1989 GENERAL FUND BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS
In an effort to provide a more current and realistic budget to actual report in
the City's General Fund, I will be requesting City Council approval of budget
adjustments on an on -,,going basis. Upon this approval the operating statements
will be changed accordingly 'to the new appropriations'.
These request for budget adjustments fall.in the following three (3) areas•:
1. Donations are received and earmarked by .the donor to a specific
department and purchase.
2. Unspent funds appropriated in an earlier year are used for a current
purchase.
3. Additional needs are identified in a particular department without
a specified revenue source.
It should be noted that #2 and #3 ,require the use of the current year contingency
if any. After the contingency is allocated, we are forced to present a budget
that is out of balance. The impact on fund balance is 'presented when the current
year is closed.
Specific adjustments are as follows:
I. Estimated revenue for Contributions and Donations should be increased from
$1;000 to $17,460. The donors with benefiting department and appropriate
line items are as follows:

CONT 89-01 RECEIVE BIDS/AWARD CONTRACT (5989 SEALCOATING)
Q. Contract 89-01, Receive Bids/Award Contract (1989
eealccating)--At 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 28, 1989,.formal bids
were received for I he sealcoating maintenance program for 1989.
Enclosed on page tl is a tabulation of the bids received showing
the relationship of the low bidder to the allocation provided for
in the 1989 Budget. The bid tabulation also references an
alternate type of material which is a smaller graded crushed rock
commonly referred to as a "chip" sealcoat as compared to the base
bid which is for a round "buckshot" type of material. It has been
observed that the "buckshot" type of sealcoat does not adhere as
well as the "chip" sealcoat as it tends to "roll" out of place
under traffic conditions and related turning movements more so than
the angular configuration of the "chip" sealcoat. it also provides
,a significantly safer surface by reducing stopping distance and
providing better traction during, the winter months. While it is
a more expensive material, it has a longer life span subsequently
making it a more economical material. Subsequently, the Public
Works Department strongly recommends the awarding of the Contract
on the alternate bid.
The staff will check the bids submitted to verify accuracy and
compliance with bid specification requirements. Any deviations
will be specifically addressed at the meeting on August 1st.

SCOPE: This project provides for the construction of trunk storm sever to
serve as the outlet for Pond GP -12 adjacent to Cray Addition. Cray Addition
is located in the northeast corner of Lone Oak Road and Lone Oak Drive. This
project is proposed at this time because Cray Addition will be discharging
storm water into Pond GP -11.
FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The project in feasible from an engineering
standpoint and is in accordance with the-objectivew established in the Com-
prehensive Storm Sewer Plan, The project can best be carried out asone
contract. It should be noted the 1984 Comprehensive Storm Sever Plan proposed
the storm sever outlet from Pond GP -12 be constructed southerly to Pond GP -10
and GP -3. The discharged storm water from Pond GP -3 is pumped 3 different
times prior to discharging ,into Pond FP -1. As part of updating the 1984
Comprehensive Storm Sever Plan, it's been determined that Pond GP -12 can
discharge into Pond FP -7 which in turn discharges directly to, Pond FP -1.
Therefore, by directing, storm water from Pond. GP -12 to Pond FP -T, it will not
be pumped 3 different times as it would if it were directed to .Pond GP -10 and
GP -3. As a result, it's recommended the storm sever outlet for Pond GP -12 be
constructed westerly in Lone Oak Road connecting to the existing storm sewer
in Lone Oak Drive which discharges into Pond, FP -7.
DISCUSSION: Storm sewer proposed herein provides for constructing a 12" and
18'" diameter storm sever to serve as the outlet for Pond GP -12. The alignment
is shown on the attached drawing. It is proposed the storm sever in Lone Oak
Road be constructed 60' northerly of the existing centerline. As a result, an
additional 20' wide utility easement is required along the south property line
of Cray Addition. In addition, a pond easement for Pond GP -12 will be re-
quired from Parcel 014-75 which is owned by Cray Research, Inc. The proposed
Page 1.
RPT49495
trunk storm sever in Lone Oak Roadwill connect to an existing 240 storm sewer
in Lone Oak Drive. The existing 24' storm sever ultimately discharges into
Pond FP -7 which has a storm sever outlet to Pond FP -1. Design considerations
for Pond GP -12 is as follows':
Drainage HVL
Area NUL HVL Area Storage Outflow
Pond GP -12 35 Ac. 880 885.5 3.6 Ac. 10.9 Ac.Ft. 1 cfs
COST ESTIMATES: Detailed cost estimates are presented in Appendix A located
at the back of this report. The total estimated project cost as outlined
herein including contingencies and all related overhead is $78,250. Overhead
costs are estimated at 30Z and include legal, engineering, administration, and
bond interest.

included at the back of this report in Appendix B. These assessments will be
spread over 10 years at an interest rate based on the. bond sale financing this
project.
STORM 'SEVER: Storm sever proposed herein is trunk. Therefore, it is proposed
to assess the unplatted parcels which are tributary to Pond GP -12 their trunk
area storm sever assessment as shown on the attached draving. The trunk area

FEASIBILITY REPORT
LEXINGTON WAY
STREET RECONSTRUCITON
& TRUNK WATER MAIN
PROJECT NO. 572
EAGAN, MINNESOTA
I. SCOPE
This project includes the reconstruction of the existing roadway from an existing
24 -foot rural section to a 32 face-to-face urban section on Lexington Way from
Lexington Avenue (County Road 43) to Diffley Road (County Road No. 30). This will
involve grading, gravel base, concrete curb and gutter, bituminous surfacing, storm
sewer and boulevard construction.
II. FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATION
The project is feasible from an engineering viewpoint. The project as outlined
herein can be achieved under one contract.
III. DISCUSSION
A. Water Main
With the new 4.0 million gallon surface reservoir being constructed south of
Diffley Road and Lexington Way, under City Contract 88-24 it is necessary to run a
20 -inch trunk water main from the existing booster station on Lexington Avenue to
the reservoir.
The route selected, which will minimize the severance of properties, is to run
north from the booster station to a sanitary sewer easement. (This easement is
along the southerly line of the Eagan Evangelical Covenant Church property) thence
west paralleling the sanitary sewer to Lexington Way, thence south along Lexington
Way, across Diffley Road and connecting to the surface reservoir.
If Lexington Way were not to be improved under this project, there would be street
reconstruction costs associated with the water main project. With this in mind, it
is proposed that the street reconstruction costs be applied to the water main
costs.
B. Storm Sewer
Most of the land adjacent to Lexington Way (with the exception of the church
property), drains away from the roadway. With this in mind, storm sewer
construction will be at a minimum.
The storm sewer proposed is to extend a 15 -inch RCP pipe from the intersection of
Lexington Way and Lexington Avenue, south for approximately 500 feet and place
catch basins on either side of the street. This will also allow for a connection
to the church parking lot. There will also be a new catch basin placed along the
west side of Lexington Way at Lexington Avenue.
-1-
Mi
C. Street Construction
The street will be reconstructed to city standards. This will involve grading,
gravel base, bituminous surfacing, 8618 concrete curb and gutter to a width of 32
feet face-to-face of curb.
D, Rights -of -Way and Permits
Lexington Way has a basic right-of-way of 66 feet. All street work will be done
within this right-of-way, however, it may be necessary to obtain temporary slope
easements to blend the project into adjacent property.
It will be necessary to obtain an additional 10 feet of permanent easement (from
the church property,) parallel and adjacent to the existing sanitary sewer easement.
Temporary construction easement will also have to be obtained along this line to
install the 20 -inch watermain.
Permits from the Minnesota Department of Health will have to be obtained for the
water main. A permit from the Dakota County Highway Department will have to be
obtained for any work done within,the rights-of-way of Lexington Avenue and Diffley
Road. -
IV. BENEFITED AREAS
The areas benefited by this improvement are all parcels abutting Lexington Way from
Lexington Avenue to Diffley Road.

V. COST ESTIMATES
A detailed cost esimate can be found in the attached appendix. A summary of these
costs are as follows:
A. Street and Storm Sewer $ 117,620
B. Reservoir Water Main 120,770
TOTAL ESIMATED PROJECT COST 5,238,390
The above total estimated project cost includes a contingency factor and a 30%
estimated cost for legal, engineering, administrative, and fiscal. These costs do
not include easement acquisition as it is assummed that easements will be provided
at no expense to the Project.
VI. ASSESSMENTS
Assessments are proposed to be levied as shown in the Appendix. The assessments
are for the street and storm sewer on Lexington Way. The costs for the trunk water
main will be paid for from the water supply and storage fund.
It is, imparative that the trunk water main be installed this fall so the new water
reservoir can be placed into service. With this in mind, if the Lexington Way
street improvements did not take place, there would be approximately $16,000 in
additional costs for the reservoir water main for restoration. If this cost is,
credited to the street improvement and paid for from the water supply and storage
fund, the assessable cost of $117,620 for street improvements would be reduced to
$101,620.
To calculate the street improvement assessments we have ,used the $101,620 figure.
There are 2406.28 assessable feet, giving an assessment rate of $42.23/foot.

Re: Lexington, Way Street Reconstruction & Trunk Water Main
Project No. 572
DSM Comm. No. 4418
Dear Mayor and Council:
Enclosed herewith is our petition to reconsider the proposed
street improvements for Lexington Way.
We feel that reconstruction of the street will not raise our
property value in,proportion with the essessd values. especially
the way the street is being reconstructed. All six residents who
are affec_ ted, feel that the presentstreetis acceptable the way it
is. If it must be improved„we feel the most beneficial to us and
the community would be to cul-de-sac the street on the north end.
By doing this, it would eliminate an already dangerous inter-
section of Lexington We and end Lexington Avenue, and eliminate
continuous unwanted traffic.
Most of us have been residents for over thirty years, and des-
erve consideration from you who are elected to serve us.
Please think this over seriously and we will see you all on
Tuesday August Ist.

VACATION/DIFFLEY ROAD
E: Vacate Abandoned County Right -of -Way (Diffley Road Frontage
Road - West of Pilot Knob Road --With the upgrading of Pilot Knob
Road and Diffley Road and the relocation of their intersection
approximately 75' to the north, there is a portion of the old
Diffley-Road alignment west of Pilot Knob Road that is turned back
to the City's jurisdiction. The old Diffley Road roadbed was
retained with the intentions of that being a private drive
servicing the existing five property owners as a private frontage
road. The City has been working with the property owners to assist
them in preparing and entering into a private maintenance agreement
with related cross easements. The property owners have expressed
a desire to vacate the turnback portion of this county right-of-
way in conjunction with the execution of the private maintenance
and cross easement,agreements.
n
Unfortunately, the legal description for the cross easement private
maintenance agreement was inadvertently used for the public notice
advertisement of the larger county turnback vacation description
to be considered under this public hearing. Subsequently, it is
recommended that this public hearing be continued to September 5
to allow staff to, readvertise and renotify everybody with the
correct legal descriptions of the vacation.

(612) 291.6359
DATE: May 19, 1989
TO: Metropolitan and Community Development Committee
FROM: Richard' Thompson Comprehensive Planning (291-6457)
SUBJECT: City of Eagan Guide Plan Amendment
Park Center Addition
Metropolitan Council Referral 14721-3'
Metropolitan District 15
INTRODUCTION
The City of Eagan transmitted a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment submission for the
Park Center Addition located at the northwest corner of Cliff Road and Cliff Lake Road. The
amendment involved changing the land use designation of the subject property to CPD,
Commercial Planned Development, from D-111, Mixed Residential (6-12 units/acre). The
proposed uses include a restaurant, ,retail strip center, a retail building and a bank.
F i V 't' 1 VJ15M
The Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976 requires that amendments to local comprehensive
plans be prepared; submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and adopted in the same
manner as the original' plans (Minn. Stat. 473.864, subd. 2, 1978). Guidelines adopted pursuant
to Minn. Stat. 473.864 for reviewing proposed amendments provide a 90 -day review period for
amendments potentially affecting one or more of the metropolitan systems and a 60 -day review
periodfor amendments that do not have a potential impact on metropolitan systems.
The City, of Eagan submitted the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to the Metropolitan
Council on March 17, 1989. On March 27, the Chair determined that the amendment
constituted a major plan amendment which calls fora 90 -day review period The deadline is,
therefore, June 14, 1989.
ANALYSIS
The proposal driving the amendment change would allow development of a retail complex; Park
Center Addition, consisting of 161,900 sq. ft The project would include a Class 1 (sit down)
restaurant, a retail strip center, a clinic, a retail building, a bank and two two-story, 18,000 sq. ft.
office buildings. A portion of a city storm pond is located on the site. The northwest 6.10
acres of this site (see Map 1) is currently being appraised by the Dakota HRA for an elderly
housing project (the area identified for office building and clinic). If this site is chosen and
developed for .the elderly housing complex, only that portion of the project would change. The
elderly housing would ,accommodate 60 to 120 units.
Since this project is proposed in an area inside the MUSA and since ,the City of Eagan has
adequate metro sewer service available, there are no issues related to the MDIF, or the Water
Resources Management Plan of the Council. The proposed project will not impact plans for
regional recreation,open space; In addition, altering the land use designation of 13:5 acres will,
7Y
not have a negative impact on the mix of housing types available in Eagan. The amendment is
consistent with Council housing policy. There are no'impacts on metropolitan airport systems.
There are, however; 'impacts on the metropolitan transportation system, specifically the highway
system The proposed addition is located north of Cliff Road and west of Rahn Road.
Surrounding land uses include Rahn Park; a neighborhood ,park to the north, Cliff Lake Center
(Cub'Food Store and Target) to the east, the Dakota County court facility and drivers' testing
facility on,the south, and office buildings and single family homes to the west (see Map 2).
The proposed site is north of Cliff Road (CSAH 32) between Cedar Avenue and I735E; all
three roads are designated as principal arterials on the Metropolitan Highway System. This
section of CSAH 32 is four -lane and undivided. Two additional direct accesses to CSAR 32 are
proposed to serve this project. The first would be across from the existing ` drivers' license
facility entrance and would upgrade it to a signalized intersection with full traffic movements.
The second new access would, be a limited right-in/right-out from Park Center. A center, raised
median between I -35E and Cedar Avenue would be needed to make these access points
workable. (Typically, direct land accesses are inconsistent with the functional classification
criteria for principal arterials)
Concerns regarding the direct access to a metropolitan highway triggered a meeting with
representatives from the planning and engineering staffs of Dakota County and the City of
Eagan. Much of the discussion focused on the possibility of adding two lanes to CSAH 32; on
the function of CSAH 32 as a ,principal arterial, and that of CR 42, to the south, which may be
the more appropriate principal arterial. Dakota County indicated that the two new access
points on CSAH 32 would be workable if'a center median was provided. The County will
continue to work on its transportation plan to determine the most appropriate, east -west arterial.
The Council will help facilitate that decision.
In the meantime, the City will respondto the system statement recently sent to it by the
Council. Land use impacts on. CSAR 32 will be addressed as part of"its •system statement
response.
FINDINGS
The two access points proposed in conjunction with the Park Center Development are
acceptable if the raised center median is provided.
2. A need exists for a complete analysis of potential trip demands and, generation in other
quadrants of the I-35 and Cliff Road area.
RECOMMENDATIONS
That the Council adopt this report and findings as stated above as part of these
recommendations.
2. The Metropolitan Council should work with. Dakota County to determine the most
appropriate east -west principal arterial(s) through the County.
76
3. The Eagaq nsystem statement response should include adequate land use information to
determine if there will be significant traffic impacts in the vicinity, of CSAH'M, fr35E
and Cedar Avenue.

RE: Comprehensive Plan Review
City of Eagan
Park Center Addition
Metropolitan Council Referral' File No. 14721-3
Dear Mr. Hedges:
The Metropolitan Council considered the comprehensive plan amendment for the Park Center Addition
in Eagan at its. June 8 meeting. Ms. Kristy Marnin of the City called asking for clarification of the
Council's actions as stated in my letter to you dated, June 13.
That letter contained three recommendations adopted by the Council Those recommendations are as
follows:
1. That the Council adopt this report and fundings as stated in the report as part of these
recommendations.
2 The Metropolitan Council should work with Dakora ,County to determine the most appropriate east -
west principal arterial(s) through the County.
3. The Eagan, system,statement response should include adequate land use information to determine if
there, will be significant traffte impacts in the vicinity of CSAH 22, I -35E and Cedar Avenue.
To clarify, none of these recommendations are conditions of approval, rather they are intended to
stimulate progress on determination of .the appropriate east -west principal arterial, whether CSAH 32 or
42, and to emphasize the importance of projecting future traffic generation from the Cliff Road area.
This letter. therefore, constitutes plan amendment approval on the pan of the Council.
If you have any further questions on this issue, contact Richard Thompson of our staff (291.6457).

LOCAT%ON: BE 1/4 SECTION 30
EXISTING ZONING: AG (AGRICULTURAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING': NOVEMBER 22, 1988
DATE OF REPORT: BOVEMBER 15, 1988
REPORTED BY: PLANNING 6 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
APPLICATION SUMMARY: Separate applications have been submitted
to the City for the' Park Center Addition, an office/retail
complex consisting of approximately 175,000 square feet. The
first application is a request to rezone 21.25 acres of AG
(Agricultural) land to a Planned Development district. The
second application is for a Preliminary Plat consisting of six
lots to be developed in one phase. The Conditional Use Permit
application is for pylon signage only. The Comprehens'i've Guide
Plan designates this., area D -SII, Mixed Residential (6-12
units/acre); therefore, an Amendment will be necessary. This
proposal is located north of Cliff Road and west of Cliff Lake
Drive.
PROJECT SCOPE: The northwest 6-10 acres of this site is
currently being appraised by. the Dakota County HRA for an elderly
housing project. With that in mind, the applicant has placed
office buildings and a clinic in that area. If this site is
chosen and developed for the elderly housing complex, only that
portion of the project would change. The elderly housing would
probably initially begin with 60 units and increase to
potentially 120 units.
The following is a detailed breakdown of each lot. Specific
users have not been identified at this time:
Lot 1 .99 acres 4,500 sq.ft. Class 1 (sit down,) restaurant
Lot 2 9.8 acres 133,000 sq. ft.. retail strip center
Lot 3 1.1 acres 6,500 sq. ft. clinic
Lot 4 .95 acres ,6.,000 sq. ft. retail bldg.
Lot 5 .93 acres 4,800 sq. ft. bank
Lot 6 7.5 acres 2 - two story 18,000 sq. ft. office bldgs
('36,000 sq. ft.), a portion of a City storm
pond.
Q4
ZONING & LAND USE: Currently, this site consists primarily of
open grassland, generally falling to the northwest. Mature oaks
are found along the northern property line and near the pond on
the western portion of the site. If the proposed grading on the
north side of the pond was changed and some retaining walls were
used, some of these oaks could be saved. They would be a nice
amenity for either the office buildings or an elderly housing
area. Site sensitive grading along the northern property line is
necessary in order to preserve the landscape buffer to Rahn Park
abutting to the north.
Other adjacent uses are two office buildings and three single
family homes to the west, Cliff Lake Center to the east, the
Dakota County Court Facility, and Drivers Testing Facility on the
south.
SITE PLAN/CODE CONFORMANCE: Two major access points serve this
site - one that was constructed with the Cliff Lake Road
improvements and the other opposite the entrance to the Drivers
Training Facility. A third right in/right out near the center of
the site is proposed. The loop from the access on the west to
the right in/right out would be a dedicated City street serving
the office/elderly areas and three other lots.
Six hundred sixty four parking stalls are shown on the site plan.
The office area would require 202 stalls and 69 are shown with a
proof of parking area for 54 more. The retail strip center shows
443 stalls and Code requires 698 spaces. The four smaller uses
meet their parking requirements. The entire project provides 725
(plus or minus) spaces and Code requires 1,047 (plus or minus)
spaces.
This is a lot by lot breakdown:

NOTE: The elderly housing area would require one stall enclosed
and one exterior stall for each unit.
Since architectural plans have not been submitted, each free
standing building should be reviewed by the Advisory Planning
Commission and Council before the issuance of building permits.
The overall lot coverage is approximately 19%, and 30% would be
permitted in a CSC (Community Shopping Center) district on a
gross basis. All building and parking setbacks meet Code
requirements in this Preliminary Plat proposal.
102
ENVIRONMENTALS/FIRE & POLICE: An EAW (Environmental Assessment
Worksheet) will not be necessary and staff is currently in the
process of determining if their governmental permits are
necessary.
The Fire & Police Departments are aware of these plans and staff
has not received any specific comments regarding major unresolved
issues. The detailed review would occur with the typical
platting and building permit procedures.
PARK CONCERNS/SITE AESTHETICS: The parks department has also
expressed that the trees by the pond and northern property line
are valuable both on and off site. Every attempt to save as many
as possible should be demonstrated through careful grading plan
preparation and in the field marking.
The overall landscaping plan works well conceptually, however
more screening of the back of the strip center from the park will
be necessary.
An overall sign agreement would eliminate any further undue
Variances and provide a more uniform development. This has been
working well with the Town Centre development.
n
MI0
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The proposed grading plan
submitted as a part of this application impacts virtually 95% of
the existing topography on this site. When taking into
consideration the additional parking areas as identified along
the northwesterly property line, the grading virtually impacts
99% of the proposed site.
The proposed grading plan shows cut areas of 10' - 12'+/- in the
southeasterly area of the site, in the southcentral portion of
the site and in the southwesterly portion of this site. Fill
areas ranging from 4' - 5'+/- in the center of this site, 14' +/-
northerly of the proposed retail center and areas of 20'+/- along
the easterly side of the proposed ponding area in the southwest
corner of the site are proposed.
Along the westerly boundary of the development, the City recently
constructed the outlet to Pond AP -50 under Project 452. Pond AP -
50 is a designated ponding area in the City of Eagan's
Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. The grading plan proposes to add
additional material on top of the existing 15" outlet to Pond AP -
50. The existing outlet pipe is not of sufficient strength class
to handle the additional fill which the development proposes to
deposit on top of it.
The details of the proposed storm sewer system within the parking
lot areas and the street were not reviewed at this time but
generally appears adequate. The general drainage areas as
designated to Pond AP -50 and Pond AP -25 (ponding area adjacent
to Cliff Lake development) are acceptable. Both ponding areas
are designated in the City's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan to
receive runoff from the proposed development.
The grading plan as proposed requires the replacement of
approximately 150' of 15" Class 5 RCP with 150' of a 4,000 D Load
Class 15" RCP. The development is responsible for the
replacement of the existing Class 5 RCP with 4000 D Load Class
RCP or modifying the grading plan to provide a maximum of 22' of
cover from the invert of the existing RCP to the finished grade
for the outlet to Pond AP -50.
The main water resource issue for this site is the impact of the
development on the downstream water quality. As previously
mentioned, 10.15 acres of the site will drain directly to Pond
AP -25 and 11.1 acres will drain into the proposed Pond AP -50.
Water flowing into Pond AP -50 is then routed to Pond AP -49 (which
is in Rahn Park) and from there flows into the outflow from Pond
AP -25. The Eagan Park Department has requested that Pond AP -49
be classified as a Type 3 Wildlife/Aesthetic waterbody.
Historical data indicates that Pond AP -49 presently meets desired
water quality standards for a Type 3 waterbody. Maintaining
predevelopment phosphorous runoff to Pond AP -49, therefore, will
prevent degradation of the existing water quality in the
downstream waterbodies.
Development of the Park Center site will increase phosphorous
runoff by approximately 42 pounds per year. The model estimates
that predevelopment phosphorous runoff to Pond AP -49 can be
91
maintained by constructing a wet pond volume of approximately 4
acre feet in Pond AP -50. In addition, phosphorus loadings to
Pond AP -49 can be further reduced by designing the ponding areas
proposed south of Cliff Road to act as nutrient detention basins
also.
An incomplete erosion and sediment control plan was submitted as
a part of this preliminary plat application. An erosion and
sediment control plan, reviewed and approved by City staff, is
required before a grading permit is issued or final plat
approval addressing the following additional concerns:
1. A temporary berm is recommended behind the retail center to
prevent drainage from going over the proposed 2:1 fill
slope.
2. The 2:1 slope as proposed is required to be a maximum slope
of 3:1 with a 4:1 slope preferred.
3. The retaining wall proposed by Pond AP -50 is required to be
at least V above the 100 year high water level. All slopes
are required not to exceed 3:1 around the ponding area.
4. Specifications for seeding and mulching the site should be
included in the plan. We recommend that all disturbed areas
be seeded and mulched within two weeks after rough grading.
5. The site map should identify all ingress and egress points
for the site. A rock construction entrance pad will be
necessary at ingress and egress points to minimize tracking
of mud by vehicles onto the existing paved surfaces.
6. Silt curtains must be properly installed before any land
disturbance occurs.
7. The revegetation of all areas disturbed by utility
construction must be addressed in the erosion and sediment
control plan.
B. Maintenance of erosion and sediment control measures should
be included in the erosion and sediment control plan.
9. The company/individual responsible for maintaining and
removing all erosion and sediment control practices should
be included in the plan.
10. Storm sewer inlet filters will be needed around the catch
basins.
11. All storm sewers outletting into waterbodies should be
adequately protected to prevent scouring from occuring at
the outlet.
12. Identify on the plan where topsoil will be stockpiled.
Stockpile can be strategically stockpiled to prevent
sediment from entering wetlands and adjacent property.
13. A site narrative should be included on the plan which shows
schedule for rough grading, installing utilities,
revegetating the site, building construction, curb and
gutter, and blacktopping. These schedules impact erosion
and sediment control requirements.
UTILITIES: Trunk sanitary sewer of sufficient capacity and depth
to serve this site is readily available along Cliff Road and
Cliff Lake Road. Sanitary sewer lateral extensions and
individual service lines are adequately proposed to service the
proposed development. The details of the proposed lateral
extensions were not reviewed at this time, but generally conform
to City standards.
Watermain service of sufficient capacity and pressure is readily
available from the existing trunk water main in Cliff Road and
has been stubbed to the easterly property line of the development
as a part of the Cliff Lake Centre development. The development
is proposing an internal utility system (water and sanitary
sewer) which would provide service to all proposed platted
parcels. Details of the proposed internal utility system and how
it connects to the existing City system is subject to detail
review at the time of the final plat.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION:Public street access has been provided
to the site along its easterly boundary with the Cliff Lake
Centre development. As far as the proposed accesses to Cliff
Road are concerned, the County has taken a stand that they will
not approve any access points along Cliff Road until a detailed
traffic impact study is done for the entire Cliff Road area.
Comments concerning the Cliff Road access points and the
proposed internal public street will be deferred until a detailed
traffic study is done along Cliff Road. (See attached letter.)
Although the site plans are preliminary, the following concerns
are identified relating to internal traffic circulation:
1. Driving aisles in the parking areas are required to be a
minimum of 24' wide.
2. Entrances from public right-of-way and internal roadways are
required to be 30' wide minimum.
3. The clinic parking lot area has no turn around area at its
northerly end.
4. Minimum curb radius for the entrances are required to be
25'.
5. Except for the retail center, the other proposed site
development areas are unclear as to identifying areas for
delivery vehicles and trash pick up circulation.
6. There should be two lanes of approach to the drive-in bank
which allows access to the south parking lot and areas for
stacking.
7. The office building/clinic and bank/retail entrances should
be combined.
8. The additional parking shown north of the retail center will
be difficult to build (existing topo is approximately 28'
lower than the proposed retail center parking lot grades).
9. A minimum 80' right-of-way is needed for a divided roadway
type entrance as proposed.
The site plan reviewed by the City's traffic consultant included
approximately 46,500 square feet of additional shopping
center/retail development more than the 86,600 square feet
acknowledged in the applicant's traffic analysis. As a result,
the traffic volume forecast provided by the applicant is
substantially less than the traffic volume projections identified
by the City's traffic consultant.
In summary, the major concern with the site is access to Cliff
Road. Without the access point/points identified, further
6omments relating to the site plan configuration of streets and
parking areas and traffic projection revisions are premature.
EASEMENTS/PERMITS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY: Sufficient right-of-way for
Cliff Lake Road was provided with the development of the Cliff
Lake Centre. The requirements for right-of-way along CLiff Road
are subject to requirements as identified in a detailed traffic
study for Cliff Road which has been requested by the County.
A ponding easement will be required for Pond AP -50 to accommodate
storage volume and high water elevations as identified in the
City of Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. All internal
utility easements will be required for sanitary sewer, storm
sewer and water main facilities servicing multiple properties and
those which provide continuity to the City's trunk facility
system.
The development is required to acquire all regulatory agency
permits in the appropriate time frame as required by the affected
agency.

RE: PARK CENTER
Dear Mr. Colbert:
(612) 431.1153
APPLE VALLEY. MINNESOTA 55124
November 3, 1988
1The Dakota County Plat Commission met on October 31, 1988, to
consider the preliminary plat of PARK CENTER. Said plat is
adjacent to C.S.A.H. NO. 32 and is, therefore, subject to the
Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance.
This development will have significant impacts on C.S.A.H. NO. 32
and the adjacent driveways 'and city streets. This section of
C.S.A.H. NO. 32 is not in the 5 year CIP, however, preliminary
traffic studies indicate that the road will have to be built in
the future as a 6 lane divided highway. County right of way
guidelines for a 6 land divided highway require 100 feet of half
right of way. The two access drives proposed do not meet the
County spacing guidelines for the existing road. The Plat
Commission would agree that this site could need access onto
C.S.A.H. NO. 32. Due to the frontage length and proximity to
existing streets, it may be desirous for access to be provided by
development of a city street.
For a divided highway, such as should probably be considered by
the County and City for this segment, the County Plat Commission
would recommend a full access to a public street at 1/4 mile
spacing (near the west end of the property) and a right in -right
out access to a public street at 1/8 mile spacing. This prospect
would have ramifications on -the access allowed at Scott Trail and
Cliff Drive.
It also seemsappropriate to review the existing driveways on the
south side of C1iff'Road with respect to development of a future
public street and the location of median openings.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNRY EMPLOYER .
� •t
The Plat Commission believes that -.the City and _County at this
time should evaluate these issues in conjunction with approval of
the proposed development. The Plat Commission proposes to
jointly participate in a study of this segment to develop a
project to reconstruct this roadway. If recommendation from a
study can be approved by both the City. and County,_, the Plat
Commission will recommend approval of a plat consistent with
'those recommendations.
Sincerely yours, ,7

RE: Traffic Study for Proposed Park Center Development
The purpose of this memorandum 15 to document the results of
our traffic study for your proposed Park Center development,
which is located in the northwest corner of Cliff Road and
Cliff Lake Road. As requested by City staff, the two prime
purposes of this traffic study have been:
To develop and present forecasts for the traffic that
will be generated by this development
To assess whether the public roadway system will be
able to adequately accommodate the development traffic
TRAFFIC FORECASTS
The first step in the traffic forecasting process Is to
quantify the types and amount of land use in the
development. As we understand. the prime development
component will be a shopping center with about
86,600 sq. ft. The plan also provides five additional
development parcels. We understand that prime candidates
for four of the parcels are restaurant. retail, bank and
clinic. The plan indicates that the fifth parcel would have
an office use, though it is possible that the parcel may be
developed instead with senior housing.
The specific sizes of developments on these five parcels
have not yet been determined. From a traffic forecasting
standpoint, our approach has been to assume that each of
these parcels will be developed to about the maximum density
allowed under City Code parking provisions. An outcome of
this assumption is that the sizes of several uses as
utilized for traffic forecasting purposes are larger than
illustrated in the development site plan. Specifically, for
traffic forecasting purposes, it has been assumed that the
development will consist of the following components:
/a ?
Mr. Martin Colon -2- November 4. 1988
Shoppi'ng Center - 86,600 sq. ft..
Restaurant - 4.,000 sq. ft..
Retail - 6,000 sq. ft.
Bank - 4,500 sq'. ft.
Office - 36,000 sq. ft.
Clinic - 7,000 sq. ft.
It should be noted that trip generation for the overall
development li'ke'ly will be lower if senior housing is
developed instead of the office component.
The next step is to apply appropriate trip generation
characteristics to these development statistics in order to
project the number of new veh'l.cle trips that the development
will add to the roadway system. These trip generation
projections were developed for the p.m. peak hour, the
busiest traffic ,period on the adjacent roadways, through the
following three-step process:
1) Apply expected trip generation ratesl to each
development component in order to predict the p.m.
peak hour volumes in and out of each individual
component.
2) Apply a five percent reduction factor to the sum of
the values from step 1) In order to estimate the p.m.
peak hour volume in and out of the entire
development. The reduction factor is to account for
trips between two uses in the development which would
not utilize either Cliff Road or Cliff Lake Road.
31) Categorize the trip generation result from step 2')
into pass by trips and new trips. The document
entitled "Trip Generation," published by the
Institute of.Transportation Engineers Indicates that
a major phenomenon of new shopping centers is that a•
significant portion of their traffic"is pass by
trips:,, trips that already are on adjacent roadways
and that wil"1 be Intercepted to include a stop at the
new shopping -center. Based on the size of this
shopping center, Figure V-1 in the "Trip Generati-on"
report indicates that at least 40 percent of the
shopping center trips will be pass by trips. The
remaining 60 percent of the external shopping center
trips are expected to be new trips that are not now
traveling on adjacent roadways.
Through the above process, the trip generation projections
shown in Table 1 have been developed. A major ,result in
Table l is that the entire Park Center development is

projected trip generation is 27 percent less than the,750
trips that were assumed to be generated by this property In
the Cliff Lake Galleria Traffic Study conducted for the
City.
The next step is to project the directional distribution of
the development trips. The trip distribution percentages
presented In the Cliff Lake Gallerla Traffic Study were
utilized as an initial source of distribution for new trips
generated by this development. Those trip distribution
percentages were adjusted slightly to account for the
expectations that this development, due to more local
character, will attract a greater portion of trips from the
west and north. The resultant expected distribution of new
trips to/from this development is as follows:
to/from north on Cliff Lake Road - 25%
tl to/from east on Cliff Road - 50%
to/from west on Cliff Road - 25%
The pass by trips are expected to have a different
directional distribution pattern. Based on the relationship
of the development to major traffic streams, the estimated
distributions of pass by trips is as follows:
from
east on
Cliff
Rd. to
west
on Cliff

The next step is to apply the preceding trip generation
results and trip distribution percentages for.new and pass
by trips, in conjunction with expected usage by driveway, to
develop p.m. peak hour development traffic forecasts. The
resultant forecasts are presented in Figure 1.' As indicated
In Figure 1, pass by trips actually have the effect of
reducing particular through volumes.

this Intersection. With two lanes for exiting traffic
and a left turn lane for entering traffic, this
intersection will effectively accommodate the
development traffic.
Intersection of Cliff Road and Cliff Lake Road. As
noted in the "Cliff Lake Gallerla Traffic Study," this
intersection will experience a substantial traffic
increase. To accommodate this growth, a major
upgrading.pfoject was undertaken, Including widening
and traffic signal control. Since the net new trips
generated by the proposed development are lower than
the site volumes assumed in the "Cliff Lake Galleria
Traffic Study," the proposed Park Center development
will have less effect on traffic operations at this
intersection.
Number and location of access points on Cliff Road.
The proposed site plan indicates that the development
would have two access points on Cliff Road
- full access at a location opposite from the
Driver's License Exam Facility (about 1150 feet
west of Cliff Lake Road)
- right turn in and out only access located about
410 feet east of the full access point
Given the close relationship of the above access
points to the County's spacing standards and given the
advantages of having a full access point also
available to serve the Driver's License Exam Facility,
the County Plat Commission recently approved these two
proposed access points on Cliff Road. The Plat
Commission expressed concern about the existing four
lane undivided design of Cliff Road along the frontage
of this development. in this context, they mentioned
two further points:
- that a need exists to upgrade this segment of
Cliff Road to an ultimate six lane divided
design. The segment that presently does not
have a raised median is only about 1/2 mite in
length (from about 600 feet east of Nicols Rd.
to 600 feet east of Cliff Lake Road).
- That an access permit for the right turn in and
out access point will not be issued until a
median is constructed on Cliff Road.
We concur that upgrading of this segment of Cliff
Road, including a raised median, is needed to resolve
the existing 1/2 mile gap in the divided design. Such
upgrading should include left turn lanes at the
proposed full access point. in conjunction with the
Park Center development it is expected that traffic
signal control will be warranted at the full access

An important point regarding the upgrading of Cliff Road is
to coordinate, as best possible, the schedule for this
upgrading together with the schedule for completion of the
development. To this end, we recommend that Federal Land
Company undertake a joint effort with the County and City to

MEMO TO: DALE C RUNKLE, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
FROM: THOMAS A COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: FEBRUARY 3. 1989,
SUBJECT: PARK CENTER PRELIMINARY PLAT
AMENDMENT TO STAFF REPORT (NOVEMBER 15, 1988)
RESULTS OF ACCESS/TRAFFIC IMPACT EVALUATION
At the November Planning Commission meeting, the above -referenced
proposed preliminary 'plat was considered based on information
submitted
submitted and a staff report prepared evaluating the proposal.
Subsequent to that application being considered by the Council,
additional information was also requested pertaining to a study
for driveway/street access onto Cliff Road and the traffic impact
of this development on the Cliff Road corridor. Each of these
issues is addressed in this memo as follows:
STAFF REPORT AMENDMENT
As a part of the Engineering, Division's review of this proposal,
a detailed analysis was done on the water quality and quantity
runoff from this development. While the original submittals
indicated that approximately 3.5 acres of the northeast corner of
the proposed Park Center Addition would be directly tributary to
Pond AP -25 within the Cliff Lake Center Addition, staff indicated
that there was additional capacity available to accommodate more
direct surface runoff. Subsequently, continued analysis of this
situation indicates that it would be better to have the, majority
of the Park Center development discharge its surface water runoff
into Pond AP -50 located adjacent to the west boundary of the Park
Center development. Approximately 3.5 acres of direct surface
runoff from Park Center could still discharge into the Cliff Lake
Galleria pond (,AP -.25) but it should be minimized as much as
practical. Therefore, this memo constitutes an amendment to the
previous staff's report for consideration of this application.
CLIFF ROAD ACCESS/TRAFFIC IMPACT EVALUATION
During the review of the preliminary plat by the Dakota County
Plat Commission, concerns were. expressed regarding the proposed
full access on the west end and the limited right -turn only
access approximately mid -point for this development. They had
recommended that an access study be performed for Cliff Road
between I -35E and, the Cedar Freeway. This study was completed by
the City and County's joint traffic consultant, Glenn Van Wormer.
An executive summary of that study and the analysis is attached
to this memo.
Also; the traffic engineer's review of the original application
material creates some concerns regarding the traffic generation
pe
DALE C RUNKLE
PAGE 2
from this site. These traffic volume concerns were a result of
confusion over the size of the retail facility. After receiving
the corrected information regarding the proper size of the
development, those original concerns have been alleviated.
In summary, the proposed development will not generate any
traffic problems that cannot be handled by the proposed accesses
to Cliff Road or Cliff Lake Drive subject to the anticipated
upgrading of Cliff Road from 35-E to the Cedar Freeway. It is
anticipated that Cliff Road will probably be upgraded to a 6 -lane
roadway with channelization and signalization at critical
intersections in the future. The timing will be depended upon
the proposed development schedule of Park Cliff and other
properties within the travel shed. The best projections indicate
that the need for this Cliff Road improvement would be within the
next 2-4 years.
With the proposed full access and limited right-in/right-out from
Park Center, certain concerns are raised regarding the ability to
handle the anticipated turning movements from Cliff Road to the
full access interchange at the westerly end of the Park Center
development as well as ensuring that the limited access is
restricted to right turns only. This may necessitate the
upgrading of Cliff Road prior to allowing the connection of these
proposed accesses.
INTERNAL CIRCULATION
The traffic consultant and myself have had several meetings with
the' developer's traffic Engineer regarding the internal
circui.ation and site plan layout. Because the proposed users
have not been selected yet, the detailed design of the site plan
and related circulation cannot be refined to a level of detail
necessary to address all concerns. Therefore, it is more
appropriate at this time to evaluate the impact of the overall
development and ability of the adjacent transportation system to
handle the proposed traffic volumes and to leave the internal
circulation and site plan review as a part of the building permit
process. As a whole, the concept layout is workable subject to
minor modifications that can be addressed with the site plan
review during the building permit process.
SUMMARY
In summary, Condition #13 of the previous staff report should be
revised to reflect the potential change based on the final
grading and drainage plan for this development. The revision
proposed is as follows:
DALE C RUNKLE
PAGE 3
This development is required to provide approximately 4-6
acre feet ,of wet pond storage volume below the proposed
normal water level for Pond AP -50.
This development shall comply with all requirements of the
County Highway Department pertaining to the proposed
accesses to Cliff Road,.
If any additional information or further clarification regarding
these issues would be helpful, please let me know.

CLIFF ROAD: ACCESS STUDY
JANUARY 12, 1989
Prepared for
City of Eagan
M.
SHORT-ELLIOTT-HENDRICESON, INC.
Executive Summary
Background Information
Cliff Road currently carries a relatively high volume of traffic
which is anticipated to increase rapidly with the proposed
development now taking place. Currently a raised median is in
place between Nicola Road and Cliff Drive. A second median is in
place from I 35E to the west terminating east' of Rahn Road. A
painted left turn lane -exists in both directions at Rahn.Road.
Access from the; north is limited to Cliff Drive, Scott Trail, and
two proposed entrances from the proposed Park Center. These
entrances have not yet been approved by Dakota County. Several
access points exist on the south side. A joint, driveway to the
Flour Bin Restaurant and Rocky Rococo operates as a right turn
only driveway near Nicola Road. A radio station driveway exists
just east of the end of the median near CliffDrive;. The driver
testing range has full access at its 'dri'veway. There is also a.
driveway to the Auto Mall between Rahn Road and 135E. This is
restricted" to right turns in and right turns out although
outbound leftturn violations are noticeable.
The County guidelines for spacing of access locations and median
openings indicate the potential for one median opening between
Rahn Road and Nicola Road. Any change would require a variance.
Operational -Analysis
As part of the study, development along Cliff Road was reviewed
and traffic generation for each business was determined. The
traffic anticipated was then placed onto the street system and
turning movements constructed at each of the access points onto
Cliff Road. As an, example,, there are approximately 95' eastbound
left turns to Cliff Drive and 75 left turns out of Cliff Drive in
the evening peak hour. This was done for existing buildings and
for the proposed Park Center development.
��9
Once the volumes and distributions were complete, three different
concepts were studied in detail and other concepts were reviewed
in less detail. The three major concepts considered were a
single median opening and full access at Scott Trail, a full
access at the proposed Park Center west driveway and full
accesses at both the Park Center proposed west entrance and Cliff
Drive. For each option studied, the impact of diverting traffic
onto adjacent intersections was considered along with the.
inconvenience to individual motorists.
If a single access point is provided at Scott Trail, all traffic
associated with eastbound Cliff Road and the proposed Park Center
would be forced to utilize the Rahn Road intersection and the
access from Park Center onto Cliff Lake Drive. The volumes are
heavy' enough to create operational problems on Cliff Lake, Drive
in terms of northbound left turn lane storage and may result in
outbound Park Center traffic delays. The concept would also
force the Cliff Drive traffic to utilize one of three routes to
access eastbound Cliff Road: 1) Cliff Drive to Nicola Road, 2)
cut thru the shopping center and access Nicols Drive next to the
Tom Thumb store, or 3) make a right turn from Cliff Drive to
Cliff Road and a u -turn at Nicole Road. While diverting traffic
(option 1,) from- Cliff Drive to Nicola Road will operate
satisfactorily, we believe the other two options would be more
heavily utilized and thus could create congestion on ,Nicola Road
at the Tom Thumb entrance or operational problems within the two
shopping areas.
Placing a single median opening at ,the proposed Park Center
entrance would create similar operating problems for the Cliff
Lake Drive traffic. The only change is that Scott Trail traffic
would now likely cut thru the shopping center west of Scott Trail
to reach Cliff Drive and access to Nicola Road. U-turns at.
Nicola Road would probably be increased. Traffic on Scott Trail
thru the residential area to the north would also increase.
lAU
The concept of a double median opening with one median opening at
Cliff Drive and the second at the proposed Park Center entrance
would alleviate many of the operational problems. The traffic
primarily effected would be that on Scott Trail. Commercial
traffic may be rerouted to the north thru the residential area or
may cut thru a shopping center to the west or make a u -turn at
the Cliff Drive median opening. With the close proximity of the
median opening, ,we anticipated much of the traffic would divert
to either u -turns or cutting thru the adjacent center. However,
residential traffic originating in the north Scott Trail area
would probably use the alternate route to Nicola :Road reducing
the traffic volume on Scott Trail at Cliff Road. Access from
properties to the south would be better served by the two median
openings. The accessto the .radio station could continue as is
because of the small volume, or could be relocated to line up with
Cliff Drive if the property owners wish to do this. It would be
desirable to relocate because of the potential for westbound
traffic to attempt to make an illegal left turn into the radio
station driveway by traveling a short distance the wrong way.
Implementation
Implementation of the proposed recommendation is dependent upon
approval from the. ,City of Eagan and. Dakota County. Extension of
the median from the end of the current median near 35E to Rahn
Road is desirable to provide better direction to motorists at
Rahn Road and, to prevent illegal left turns from the existing
Auto Mall driveway. The development of the Park Center proposal
would also make it desirable to extend the median along the Park
Center frontage past the easterly driveway to Cliff Road, if the
driveway is approved. Left turn lane development at the proposed
Park Center would also be desirable and installation of a median
would define the area. Full medians should. be in place prior to
any development on the south side.
It therefore appears desirabl& to install medians concurrently
with the development of the proposed Park Center site. The
1,Z f
median extension west from I 35E to Rahn Road can be constructed
earlier as part of .the widening and channelization on Rahn Road
south of Cliff Road in conjunction with the Rahn -Cliff
development.
Ultimately CliffRoad will need to be widened to three lanes in
each direction. . A design decision should be made relative to
timing of the major improvement and installation of the turn
lanes. It may be desirable to attempt to install permanent
center- turn lanes and medians with ultimate widening on the
outside. However this may be 'a difficult design depending upon
existing road surface, and base considerations and drainage
considerations. The ultimate widening of Cliff Road is also very
dependent upon widening of the bridge at I 35E and the potential
need for widening the bridges over 'Cedar Avenue.
It is recommended that the City adopt the, concept of a raised
median between Cedar Avenue and I 35E with openings at Nicole
Road, Cliff Drive, the westerly proposed Park Center driveway and
Rahn Road. This concept can be submitted to Dakota County and if
they concur, implementation details can be further considered.

RE: FEBRUARY 7, 1989 CITY COUNCIL PACKET INFORMATION
ITEM E - COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT - PARK CENTER
Staff has been working with the Dakota County Housing Authority
regarding preparation of a site layout. On the seven acres, we
are showing approximately an 80 -unit three story apartment with
underground parking for 40 vehicles. There is some room for
expansion if the additional one acre parcel to the east is
purchased. The question arises as to the setback required from
the retail to the residential. It would be staff's suggestion
that the retail building setback be moved further east if the
City acquires this additional one acre parcel.
aCity staff has met with Mr. Erkkila of Westwood Planning to
review tree surveys and revised landscape plans. The tree survey
included all trees over 6" in size and some revised plans have
been drawn to save as many trees as possible. This is a detailed
item and if, in fact, the Council elects to rezone the property,
this detail can then be worked out as to the best site plan which
will mitigate the grading and impacts on park property to the
north.
In reviewing the timing for acquisition of property for the HRA,
I have contacted Mr. Mark Ulfers. The time frame to acquire the
property is as follows:
The City received the funds to acquire a senior housing
site in April 1988. It is my understanding the City has
through April 1990 to acquire this elderly senior site,
leaving a little over a year before funds would be
forfeited or problems arise with acquisition of this
site. From time of acquisition, the City then has
approximately two years before construction or housing
should begin. This step of the process has not even
been thought of as to the type of construction that will
occur; this will begin upon site acquisition.
Hopefully, this updates you on the timing and scheduling for the
Park Center senior site. Enclosed is a schematic indicating how
a building could fit on this site, knowing we have capabilities
of placing an 80 -unit facility on this site with possible
expansion if the City elects to acquire or meet with the senior
housing committee, or City Council committee, to begin the site
design process. If you desire additional information, please
feel free to contact me.

APPLICATION SUMMARY
In application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary Plat for
the Stryker Addition, consisting of two lots on 3.8 acres located
along Rahn Road and Beau De Rue Drive. These lots contain the Big
Top Liquor Store and the Cedarvale Highlands building that were
constructed in the early 1970's and have commercial uses on the
street level and apartments above them. The original goal of the
applicant was to split off the liquor store area so it could be
sold as an individual tax parcel.
Before the county would authorize the split of the existing parcel,
the City would have to either require platting or approve the
waiver of plat process. Staff recommended platting since the
liquor store lot has been developed to its maximum potential.
However, upon further review and with legal counsel agreement,
staff is recommending that only the liquor store lot be platted at
this time and that a new meets -and -bounds survey be submitted for
the remaining area. This will separate the ownership of the liquor
store from the partnership that controls the residential/commercial
building. Since the land use is not changing and no expansion or
site modifications are proposed, no site improvements have been
requested. However, at the time changes are proposed, the City
would look to upgrade the site conditions and bring the area up to
current code requirements.

D.C.R. COMPANY - STRYKER ADDITION
Chairman Pawlenty convened the public hearing regarding a
preliminary plat consisting of two lots on 3.88 Community Shopping
Center zoned acres with existing buildings located at the south
intersection of Beau D'Rue Drive and Rahn Road in the northeast
quarter of Section 19.
City Planner Jim Sturm introduced the application to the
Commission. City Attorney Mike Dougherty informed the Commission that
the property was divided north and south and owned by separate
entities. He stated the platting ramifications had not fully been
investigated and that staff would work with the developer prior to
the Council review.
Dave Grannis (attorney for applicant) reported there was no need
for a cross parking easement, that only ingress and egress easements
were necessary. Mr. Sturm agreed.
Commissionmember Miller suggested the addition of a condition
requiring the applicant to meet current standards. Mr. Dougherty
stated it was a clean-up process.
Chairman Pawlenty asked if expansion would ever occur.
Commissionmember Miller stated the City should take advantage of the
opportunity. Mr. Sturm stated a condition could be added to require
an upgrade if the use changed. Commissionmember Trygg commented that
the new owner would then bear the expense. Chairman Pawlenty asked
what type of changes would be needed. Mr. Sturm responded curb,
gutterandlandscaping would be required. Commissionmember Miller
suggested continuing the matter to allow the developer to propose
changes that were feasible.
Mr. Grannis pointed out that the property was presently
developed and that space was limited. He further stated the developer
was willing to listen to alternatives but had no suggestions. He
reported there was no objection to a continuance to the next meeting
to allow the developer to work with the staff. Commissionmember
Voracek was in favor of a continuance.
Commissionmember Gorman asked if only the liquor store could
have additional conditions. Mr. Sturm responded that staff would
investigate the matter. There was further discussion regarding
platting versus waiver of plat.
Voracek moved, Gorman seconded, the motion to close the public
hearing and to continue to the June 27, 1989, Advisory Planning
Commission meeting a preliminary plat request consisting of 'two lots
on 3.88 Community Shopping Center zoned acres with existing builoings

June 27, 1989
Chairman Pawlenty stated it was a good opportunity for the
City to act. He stated the setback could be an exception and
questioned if it was a hardship.
Commissionmember Voracek remarked the parking surface should
be brought back into the property line and out of the right-of-way.
Commissionmember Merkley reported that the parking is not very
abundant in that area.
Chairman Pawlenty stated the Commission could approve the
application with conditions. He questioned how the City could
enforce the permit on an on-going basis. City Planner Jim Sturm
explained the City's procedure for monitoring compliance.
Attorney Grannis stated that the City already had ordinances
to cover the conditions. He reported that the liquor store was
subject to a long term lease and that the owner did not have
control but rather the tenant did. He objected to the discussed
conditions. He stated the ground was fully developed.
Commissionmember Merkley responded that the owner should have
control over its tenants. Commissionmember Graves commented that
the property should look decent. Chairman Pawlenty reported that
the objections of the developer were noted.

Agenda Information Memo
August 1, 1989 City Council Meeting
SENECA WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT/BETTY BASSETT
C. Request by Betty Bassett to Further Discuss Seneca Wastewater
Treatment Plant --Betty Bassett has requested time on the City
Council Agenda under Old Business to present concerns regarding the
Seneca Plant expansion to the City Council. Enclosed on page LSD
is a copy of her letter making this request.
Kristy Marnin, Planner I in the Department of Community
Development, has been acting as a Committee Chair for the Seneca
Odor Control Advisory Group. This Committee has been meeting on
a regular monthly basis since the City Council adopted the Seneca
Plant Development Agreement which established the Commission since
February of this ye Kristy as prepared a memo, copy is
enclosed on pages -through /5(o, that addresses problems the
Committee is experiencing in establishing a specific direction and
^focus. The Seneca Plant Development Agreement provides a forum for
•informational exchanges regarding the plant expansion, operations
and odor issues. As Kristy states in her memo, the Committee has
attempted through its own interest to expand discussions topics
beyond the established forum adopted by the agreement. Also
discussed in the attached memo is a response to the issues raised
in Betty Bassett's letter.
Since this is not an action item but addresses a development
agreement that is a matter of record between the City and the MWCC,
it is suggested that the presentation be limited to the five (5)
points raised in Ms. Bassett's letter. Kristy's letter will be
shared by Ms. Bassett prior to the meeting, and if her concerns are
resolved, this item will be removed or reduced to the number of
issues that are of concern to Ms. Bassett.
There is no action required in this item.

City of Eagan,
We wish to be placed on the City Council Agenda under old
business on August 1, 1989. Our concern is the Seneca plant.
The plans for the lift -station acid the metering station
have been cut back because the bids were too high. The chemicals
whichwere being put in the pipeline are not being put in because
a drill broke. Last week our neighborhood stunk. Who is watching-
the MWCC to protect/ the residents of Eagan?
Last'week the neighbors received a letter from Minn. Public
radio, informing us they have an option on the Peterson land to
build four radio towers. The site plan showed most of the scenic
F easement being -used by them. A closer readint of the scenic
easement shows that by agreement the city and the MWCC can at any
time vacate the easement for any purpose. What kind of protection
is this ror hiss'
In the agreements with the ci-ty.one of the statements
whic}r pleased the neighbore,was was that the sludge being brought
in from Blue Lake would be reduced after the new plant was built..
This we assumed would reduce the smell of burning sludge, however,
it seems that Blue Lake sludge will be reduced because the plant
will be accepting the sewer waste from the new Bloomington Mega
Mall. Across the river,they are already 'laying new sewer pipes to
bring their sludge to Eagan. It~ seems Blue Lake sludge will be
cut back, because the new plant will be operating at capacity with
the Bloomington sludge..

TO: Tom Hedges, City Administrator
FROM: Kristy Marnin, Planner I
DATE: July 25, 1989
SUBJECT: Seneca Odor Control Advisory Committee
August 1, 1989 City Council Agenda
(Request by Betty Bassett)
The Seneca Odor Control Advisory Committee, consisting of area
residents, Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC)
representatives and City of Eagan representatives, has been meeting
monthly since February 1989. This committee was established under
the Seneca Plant Development Agreement to provide a forum for
informational exchanges regarding the plant expansion, operations
and odor issues. At times, this committee has been less than
constructive. In my opinion, there are several factors which
create conflict in this committee, including the following.
Long history (15± years) of disputes between the
residents in the neighborhood of the Seneca Plant and the
MWCC. Past problems have tended to permeate present
issues.
* No tangible powers for the committee. The area residents
have frequently expressed frustration with their lack of
authority to directly influence plant expansion
activities and plant operations.
* Complexity of the expansion project and plant operations.
The expansion project involves many components, ranging
from platting, to grading, to construction, to sludge
management, to odor control. The variety of activities
taking place, and the inter -relationships of these
activities, often makes it difficult to sort out the
actual issues of concern to those involved with the
committee.
* Numerous agencies, including the City, MWCC, Dakota
County, MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and MN
Pollution Control Agency (MPGA), are involved with the
Seneca Plant expansion and operations. Various required
permits and regulations are individually administered by
these different agencies. However, representatives from
each of these organizations have not been available to
attend the committee meetings. Also, the City does not
have a full-time representative with the background to
evaluate the technical environmental science issues
involved in this project.

Tom Hedges

* Regional nature of the project. The Seneca Plant
receives and treats wastewater from Eagan, Bloomington,
Burnsville, and parts of other adjacent communities.
However, the plant itself is physically located within
Eagan. This situation has often lead to a feeling of
"why should 'we' treat 'their' sewage".
At the most recent committee meeting, several issues were raised
which Betty Bassett, area resident, has requested for discussion
before the City Council. Ms. Bassett submitted her request for
placement on the August 1, 1989, City Council agenda to City
administration on July 20, 1989. Ms. Bassett has also discussed
this request with me.
Five main issues were noted in Ms. Bassett's letter. To provide
additional background information, following is a description of
discussions at committee meetings and between Ms. Bassett and me
regarding these issues as noted in this letter.
1) Cut back in plans for the Nichols Road lift and meter stations
because of MWCC budget constraints. (first sentence, second
paragraph).
Apparently, the original plan for improvements to the Nichols
Road lift and meter stations called for an expansion of the
building along with installation of odor control equipment.
At the June 14, 1989, committee meeting, Harold Voth (MWCC
staff) indicated that this project was re -designed to
eliminate the expansion plans because the odor control
equipment will fit within the existing meter station
structure.
At the July 12, 1989, committee meeting, Ms. Bassett
questioned the motive for this change in plans for the
improvements to the Nichols Road lift and meter stations. Mr.
Voth indicated that because of MWCC budget constraints and
rules, the MWCC had to re-evaluate the original improvement
plans. Mr. Voth indicated that the alternative plan which
will allow installation of the odor control equipment in the
existing meter station structure (without expansion) will be
as effective as the original plan and will allow the MWCC to
meet the completion deadline (specified in the development
agreement).
Ms. Bassett indicated to me that she feels that, by this
change in plans for the Nichols Road lift and meter stations
improvements, the MWCC is reneging on the development
agreement.
�7Y
Tom Hedges
July 25, 1989
Page Three
On review of the development agreement, I noted that Section
3.2(c) refers to improvements to the Nichols Road lift and
meter stations. This section reads as follows:
"As soon as possible, but no later that October 1, 1989,
MWCC shall design, construct or otherwise provide and
make fully operational necessary additional odor control
equipment for the Nichols Road pump and meter stations."
It appears that the development agreement does not specify the
method for improvements to the Nichols Road lift and meter
stations; rather, the agreement generally requires that
improvements related to odor control be made to the lift and
meter stations. It may be beneficial to have the City
Attorney review this matter for an official interpretation.
2) Stop of the injection of chemicals into the lines at the meter
station because of a broken pump. (second sentence, second
paragraph).
Karla Eggink (MWCC staff) had been operating a chemical test
feed program for odor control. This program involves the
injection of sodium hypochlorite upstream from the meter
station. At the July 14, 1989, committee meeting, Ms. Eggink
indicated that she was not currently injecting the chemical
because the shaft inside the pump she uses to put the
chemicals into the line had broken. Ms. Eggink also noted
that she was putting together the substantiation for
continuing this chemical test feed program.
My understanding (subject to individual interpretation) of the
discussion that took place at the committee meeting was that
the MWCC intends to continue this chemical test feed program
for odor control (provided that it proves effective), and that
it was not currently being run simply because of equipment
breakdown. I am unsure of the requirements for this specific
odor control measure (if any) under the development agreement.
3) Scenic easement - lack of protection for the neighbors.
(third paragraph).
Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) representatives have approached
City staff regarding placement of radio antenna towers within
the Seneca Plant Scenic Easement and surrounding property (not
within the easement). MPR has a copy of the signed scenic
easement agreement, and City staff has indicated to MPR that
no excavation, motorized vehicles or cutting/harvesting of
trees or other vegetation (i.e. basically no construction of
/I�3
Tom Hedges
July 25, 1989
Page Four
any type) is allowed within the scenic easement without City
Council approval. MPR has also been informed that a
conditional use permit and variance approval would also be
necessary. To date, MPR has not applied for any type of
approval for installation of the radio antenna towers.
The committee has been informed of the above. However, it is
my impression from speaking with Ms. Bassett that the
neighbors have the impression that location of the MPR radio
towers in the scenic easement is a "done deal".
4) Receiving of wastewater from the Bloomington Megamall. (fourth
paragraph).
on several occasions, Ms. Bassett has discussed her concern
with the Seneca Plant receiving wastewater and sludge
(generated by treatment of wastewater) from Bloomington.
Section 3.3 of the development agreement deals with sludge
management. Specifically, Section 3.3(c) reads as follows:
"To the extent of the MWCC's authority under law or
regulation, the sludge incineration capacity at the
Seneca plant shall not be increased except to accommodate
sludge generated from the Seneca plant and provided that
only sludge generated at the Seneca plant is being
incinerated at the Seneca plant."
Apparently, sludge from the Blue Lake plant is currently
trucked to the Seneca Plant for incineration. MWCC staff has
indicated at committee meetings that one reason for this is
that sludge incineration is more efficient when the
incinerator is operated at a level closer to capacity.
Currently, sludge generated at the Seneca Plant is not at the
capacity of the sludge incinerator, so Blue Lake sludge is
brought in to make up the difference. As the communities
which are served by the Seneca Plant (and for which the Seneca
Plant was constructed) grow, the amount of wastewater received
by the Seneca Plant increases. As the amount of wastewater
received increases, the amount of sludge generated at the
Seneca Plant increases. Consequently, less and less sludge
from Blue Lake will be brought to the Seneca Plant. Section
3.3(c) of the development agreement indicates that the sludge
incineration capacity can only be increased to accommodate
sludge generated at the Seneca Plant (i.e. the sludge
incineration capacity cannot be increased to accommodate
sludge from Blue Lake or other plants).
14/
Tom Hedges
July 25, 1989
Page Five
However, Ms. Bassett has expressed concern over the increase
in sludge generated at the Seneca Plant because of wastewater
which will be generated by the Mall of America (Megamall)
development in Bloomington. Ms. Bassett has been informed
that the Seneca Plant has (since its beginning) and will
continue to serve the wastewater treatment needs of not only
Eagan, but also Bloomington, Burnsville, and parts of other
surrounding communities.
5) Effects of dewatering activities on the area residents' wells.
(fifth paragraph).
At the July 12, 1989, committee meeting, Ms. Bassett indicated
that she and the Istads (area residents) have been having
severe problems with their wells ranging from the well motors
running continuously for several days to the well not bringing
up water.
Also, two tests of the water from the area residents' wells
have been conducted. The results of the first test indicated
that two wells did have some pollution; however, the source
of this pollution has not been determined. The results of the
second test were not yet available at the July committee
meeting.
Ron Spong, Dakota County Public Health Department, attended
the July committee meeting. He provided some insight into the
complexities of well water/groundwater testing and pollution.
No conclusive information was provided to indicate the cause
of the well problems or the source of the groundwater
pollution.
It should also be noted that dewatering is an activity common
to many construction projects.
Ms. Bassett requested that I prepare a verbatim transcript from the
July 12, 1989, committee meeting for the discussions which took
place regarding issues 1 and 2 above. Ms. Bassett also requested
that copies of this transcript be provided to each of the City
Council members. I informed Ms. Bassett that I would be unable to
provide this transcript; however, I would prepare minutes of this
meeting in the usual form (summary) for distribution to the City
Council members prior to the August 1, 1989 City Council meeting.
In addition, I informed Ms. Bassett that she was welcome to listen
to the tape recording of the July committee meeting and take notes
for her own use. Ms. Bassett came to City Hall and recorded her
own copy of the portions relating to issues 1 and 2 above from the
tape made at the July committee meeting.

I would appreciate any ideas which may help,in the administration
of this project and the odor control advisory committee.

DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting
a Conditional Use Permit to allow the sale and lease of used trucks
and trailers as a secondary use to the primary use of contract mail
!Haulers. The site is located east of Lone Oak Circle, just north
of Lone Oak Road.
COMMENTS: The applicant currently leases space from Roadway Inc.
and runs a contract hauling trucking firm. Roadway Inc. has
previously been granted a Conditional Use Permit to operate a truck
and freight terminal at this site. 95% of Hoovestol's business is
hauling mail, while the remaining 5% of the business operation is
the sales and leasing of trailers and trucks. The Conditional Use
Permit is being sought so the applicant can get a dealers license
from the State of Minnesota, primarily for leasing trailers. The
used trucks and trailers that will be available for sales and
leasing come from the applicant's fleet as newer vehicles are
acquired by the company.
The leasing and sales activity, as proposed, will not include the
general public, but instead will be geared to other trucking
companies and/or professional truckers. The. applicant has also
stated that the average number of sale and lease items on site at
one time will be up to seven. The contract hauling operation has
been in Eagan since 1978 and at the current site for approximately
two years. '
If approved, this permit shall be subject to the following
conditions:
1. No more than eight items for sale and lease shall be on-site
at time.

DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 250 1989
DATE OF REPORT: JULY 19p 1989
COMPILED BY: COMMUNITY

APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted by West
Publishing Inc. requesting a Preliminary Plat containing
approximately 14.5 acres in an LI (Light Industrial) zoning
district located immediately north of the existing facility along
lRescott Road and Highway 149.
BACKGROUND: The initial 400,000 square foot West Publishing
Development began in 1977 and has increased to more than 1,000,000
square feet. With the original application, an EAW (Environmental
Assessment Worksheet) was processed. No amendments are necessary
as a result of this application. In 1987, West Publishing
purchased all of the Gopher Smelting property southeast of Yankee
Doodle Road and Elrene Road, except for the 20 -acre concrete
recycling area approved by the City in July 1989. West Publishing
is currently in the process of developing an overall master plan
for the future development of this area and it is anticipated that
this plan/platting process will be reviewed by the Advisory
Commissions and City Council in late 1989 or early 1990. Staff has
been, and will continue to work with the applicant on these plans
as they develop.
This plat incorporates Light Industrial zoned property within the
Gopher Eagan Planned Development. Agricultural zoned land owned by
West Publishing immediately south of the building site will be used
as a parking area only. City staff and West Publishing have agreed
to rezone and plat this area Light Industrial with the overall
development plans since the newly acquired area may also need
additional Planned Development Amendments (Rezonings). The Planned
Development primarily consists of Light Industrial zoning, with
smaller areas of (RB) Roadside Business., R-4 (Multiple), R-2
(Double), and PF (Public Facilities) districts. This may also
include a transfer of City parkland in exchange for land that would
provide a direct access from Wescott Station Park to Elrene Road.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: Currently, there is a house on the
Agricultural zoned property immediately to the south that will be
surrounded by the parking area for both buildings. The home is
occupied by a West Publishing security person and will stay in its
present location for the time being, however it may be relocated
on/off site with future development. The area consists primarily
of open grassland and becomes wooded along the west property line.
Only City parkland and property owned by West Publishing are within
350' of the subject site.
BITE PLAN: The proposed two-story 145,000 sq. ft. Professional
Center will contain a "back up" type computer system to the one in
downtown St. Paul. The goal West Publishing Company has is to
always have one system operational, even in the time of an
emergency. Both will carry an approximate 50% load of the total
computer needs of the company.
Access will be provided from the existing parking lot, with 180
parking stalls along the northeast corner of the building. Only
60-70 employees will be located in the building initially.
The building itself will be constructed of a combination of brick
and glass, similar in scale to the office building addition on the
north side of the main building that was completed in 1988. The
landscape plan was nicely prepared and demonstrates a good mixture
of overstory, understory, and coniferous material.
1!Y
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The proposed site is hilly and
will require cuts of up to 14' to meet design grades. Staff
anticipates no problems with the grading. No erosion and
sediment control plan was s-ubmitted for staff review and
comments. Erosion control measures will be required in
accordance with the City's erosion control manual.
Storm water drainage is proposed to be directed to Pond JP -18
which does not have an outlet. Development around the pond has
continued over the past 5 years with no indication that an outlet
is required due to flooding conditions. Staff continues to
recommend that an outlet not be constructed at this time and
monitoring of the pond be continued to verify that flooding
conditions are not developing. Further development in the area
will necessitate the pond outlet construction.
UTILITIES: Water main for the site is proposed to be connected
to the existing internal private lines within the existing West
Publishing site and to the water main on the easterly side of TH
149 installed in 1971 under City Project No. 5874. The water
lines are proposed to be private. Any water line which loops the
City system is considered a public line and requires the
appropriate easement.
Two alternatives are proposed for sanitary sewer. Alternate A
would involve construction of a gravity line east across TH 149
to an existing sanitary sewer that was constructed in 1977 under
City Project No. 196. This alternate would involve construction
of both private and public lines since the const -ruction would be
across private property that is not a part of this plat.
The second alternate would involve construction of a private lift
station within the plat. The lift station would outlet into
existing private sanitary sewer lines within the plat.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Access to this plat will be from
existing West Publishing private streets and parking lots which
have access from TH 149.
EASEMENTS/PERMITS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY: Standard 10' drainage and
utility easements will be required around the plat. In addition,
an easement to the HWL of Pond JP -18 will be required. If.
alternative A for providing sanitary sewer service is selected,
an easement will be required over private land to the east of TH-
149.
Permits from Minnesota Department of Health and Pollution Control
Agency will be required for water main and sanitary sewer
construction. Permits from Minnesota Department of
Transportation will be required for any utility crossing of TH-
149.
� 7 tD
OBLIGATION:
Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the
past and the uses proposed for the property, the following charges
are proposed. The charges are computed using the City's existing
fee schedule.

,ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a
'preliminary plat consisting of 12.68 public facility acres for a
church located along Gloria Drive, West of Nichols Road entitled
Peace Heights 2nd Addition as requested by Peace Reformed Church.
SUBJECT: (REPLAT)- PEACEFUL HEIGHTS 2ND ADDITION
APPLICANT: PEACE REFORMED CHURCH
LOCATION: 2180 GLORY DRIVE
PEACEFUL HEIGHTS ADDITION
EXISTING ZONING: PF (PUBLIC FACILITIES)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JULY 25, 1989
DATE OF REPORT: JULY 18, 1989
COMPILED BY: PLANNING i ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting
a Replat for Peaceful Heights Addition to combine Outlot A and Lot
1, Block 1, creating Peaceful Heights 2nd Addition.
XXISTING CONDITIONS: The 12.68 -acre site is located south of the
proposed Kennealy Addition, west of Nicols Road, north of Cedar
Ridge 1st and 2nd Additions and' abuts Cedar Avenue (T,.H. #77) on
the west. Access to this development is gained from Glory Drive,
off Nicols Road. The church is located south of Glory Drive with
approximately 150-160 parking spaces. Outlot A is located on the
north side of Glory Drive and is primarily an open grassy field.
BACKGROUND: Peace Reformed Church was completed in 1985 and has
approximately 820 members (including children) with an average
Sunday congregation of 600. The church is currently applying for
a building permit to construct a 21,000 square foot addition to be
used for classrooms and a gymnasium. The sanctuary will remain the
same size.
COMMENTS: Plans to increase the number of parking spaces
necessitate the need to plat Outlot A. The project is being
phased; Phase II of the development is the 21,000 square foot
addition to the building and 95 parking spaces. The two-level
building addition will have a full-sized gymnasium on the lower
level surrounded by classrooms and a nursery. The top level has
an open area and classrooms around the perimeter. The.21,000-
square-foot addition will match the existing structures ---brown
face brick, gabled roof, and shingles. The architects, plan to
submit the building permit application the week of July 24, 1989
and would like to schedule work for the first week in August.
Phase III is the addition of 68 parking spaces currently in Outlot
A. To do this, Outlot A requires platting.
4:CJ1'451.'{�.'r:r .9 Qi WF�}:•.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The proposed grading for the
development conforms to City standards and does not adversely
modify storm water drainage patterns. The proposed storm water
management of the development consists of lateral storm sewer
discharging into a pond created for storage of the site generated
storm water runoff. The design concept represents good storm water
management practices and benefits the overall drainage of the area.
Based upon a hydraulic analysis of the drainage system, it is
recommended that the discharge from the.pond be controlled by a 6"
orifice. This would result in a high water level of approximately
887.0 (0.8' higher than proposed), however, this has no apparent
adverse impact on the proposed development.
No erosion and sediment control plan was submitted for staff review
and comment. No negative water quality impacts are expected since
all downstream water bodies have preliminary water body
classifications as storm water basins or sediment basins.
UTILITIES: No sanitary sewer or water main is proposed as a part
of the development. A review of the hydrant coverage indicates
that a portion of the proposed development would not be covered by
ithe hydrant presently at the end of Glory Drive. This issue must
be reviewed by the Fire Marshall, and additional hydrant
installation may be required.
STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Improved public street access is
presently available from Glory Drive. Traffic circulation through
the proposed parking area appears to be adequate for the intended
use.
EASEMENTS/RIGHTS-OF-WAY/PERMITS: In addition to the 10' wide
drainage and utility easements required along all property lines
and adjacent to public right-of-way, a ponding easement will be
required for the proposed ponding area. An easement on the
proposed ponding area guarantees that the development will not fill
in the proposed pond which in turn would overburden the downstream
City storm sewer system.
Sufficient right-of-way for Glory Drive has been dedicated.
I/
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the
past and the uses proposed for the property, the following charges
are proposed. The charges are computed using the City's existing
fee schedule.

August 1, 1989 City Council Meeting
a. Ordinance Amendment, City of Sagan, to the Subdivision
Ordinance to Allow for Trail Dedication Requirements --As a part of
the City Administrator's direction to revise the special assessment
policy, the method of assessment for park and trail improvements
was reviewed during the months of May and June, and an ordinance
was prepared for consideration by the Advisory Planning Commission
and is submitted to the City Council for consideration. The
Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing at their July
25 meeting to consider the Ordinance Amendment due to the
requirement to change certain regulations within the Subdivision
Chapter of the City Code. The APC is recommending approval of the
Ordinance Amendment.

1MENDMENT TO CITY CODE CHAPTER 13
PARK AND TRAIL DEDICATION POLICY
July 25, 1989
Section 13.20, Subdivision 8 of the City Code, establishes
subdivision regulations for park and trail dedication. Policies
outlining the amount of dedication and/or cash contribution
required have been determined by Council resolution. Currently,
there is one adopted policy document governing both parkland and
trail dedication. This policy requires park dedication by all
developments at specified rates. (See Attachment 2 for current
rates). Trail dedication, however, is provided only by
developments abutting or incorporating trails identified in the
City's adopted Park System Plan. Since a coordinated trail system
is a city-wide benefit, the current policy places a
disproportionate burden on those developments abutting such
identified trails. To provide a more equitable dedication system
and to ensure completion of the trail as planned, an amendment to
chapter 13 of the City Code and revisions to the Park and Trail
Dedication Policy are being proposed.
PROPOSAL
The proposal consists of three components: an ordinance amendment
to Chapter 13, a Park Dedication Policy,, and a Trail Dedication
Policy. The ordinance amendment (see Attachment 1) establishes a
separate land dedication and/or cash contribution process for
trails in addition to that required for parkland dedication. The
proposed Park Dedication Policy (see Attachment 2) sets rates and
standards for dedication of parkland in accordance with Section
13.20, Subdivision 8A.2. of the City Code. It revises the current
adopted policy to eliminate sections concerning park trails (which
will be addressed in the Trail Dedication Policy described below)
and to establish two additional required improvements. No changes
in required rates are being proposed.
The Trail Dedication Policy (see Attachment 3) is a new policy
proposed to establish separate rates and requirements for trail
land dedication. The purpose of this policy is to distribute the
cost of remaining trail construction equitably and consistently to
all future development benefitted by such trails and to ensure an
adequate mechanism to pay for remaining trail construction. The
proposed rates for trail dedication are $100 per residential unit
and $859 per acre for commercial/ industrial development. These
rates were determined by comparing the amount of potential future
development with costs for remaining trail construction. The Parks
and Recreation Department estimates that approximately 62 miles of
trails identified in the Trails Systems Plan have yet to be
constructed. Construction costs are estimated at approximately
3.5 million dollars, based on a cost of $10.75 per lineal foot of
20
construction. Remaining future de
been estimated at approxii
commercial/industrial property and
residential development. Dividing tl
by the amount of future development
lopment within the City has
Lely 2,000 acres of
)proximately 18,000 units of
estimated construction costs
ielded the proposed rates.
Under these policies, total fees for park and trail dedication
would become $625 for single family residential ($100 - trail, $525
- park) and $3,037 per acre for commercial/industrial ($859/acre -
trail, $2,,178/acre - park..) while this represents an increase for
some developments, the fees for others, previously responsible for
trails abutting or within their developments,, may decrease or
increase only slightly. The combined park and trail dedication
rates are consistent with the range of fees required in surrounding
jurisdictions and will ensure adequate revenue to complete the
trail system. It should be noted that the Council may adjust the
required rates in the future should construction costs increase.
The proposed amendment to Chapter 13 of the City Code requires a
public hearing process before the Advisory Planning Commission and
the City Council, with action being taken by the Council upon
recommendation of the Planning Commission. The Park Dedication
Policy and the Trail Dedication Policy can be adopted by resolution
of the City Council. This process provides more flexibility for
periodic revisions which may be needed to accommodate possible
fluctuations in construction costs and development potential.
Although.the Planning Commission will be making a recommendation
only on the Code amendment, the policy documents to be adopted by
Council resolution have also been included for informational
purposes.

CONVEYED OR DEDICATED TO THE PUBLIC FOR PARR OR RECREATION PURPOSES
OR WITH RESPECT TO WHICH CASHIS TO BE CONTRIBUTED TO THE CITY IN
LIEU OF SUCH CONVEYANCE OR DEDICATION, ALL AS PROVIDED BY SECTION
OF THE CITY CODE.
1. PURPOSE.
The City Council recognizes it is essential to the health,
safety and welfare of the residents of Eagan and persons working
in Eagan, that the character and quality of the environment be
considered to be of major importance in the planning and
r development of the City. In this regard, the manner in which
land is developed and used is of high priority. The preservation
of land for park, playground and public open space purposes as
it relates to the use and development of land for residential,
commercial/ industrial purposes is essential to the maintaining
of a healthful and desirable environment for all citizens of the
City. The City must not only provide these necessary amenities
for our citizens today; but also be insightful to the needs of
our future citizens.
It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park,
playground and public open space within a municipality is
directly related to the density and intensity of development
permitted and allowed within any given area. Urban type
developments mean greater numbers of people and higher demands
for park, ,playground and public open space. To disregard this
principle is to inevitably over -tax existing facilities and
thus, diminish the quality of the environment for all.
The City's Park Systems Plan Study has established minimum
community criteria for meeting the needs of the residents of
Eagan. In order to meet the community needs for parks and open
space, 15 acres of park shall be required for each 1,000,
residents, of which 12 acres shall be designated as neighborhood
parks.
This shall be the standard upon which the City shall establish
its parkland and parks cash dedication.
it is the policy of Eagan that the following standards and
guidelines for the dedication of land for park, playground, and
public open space purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of
such dedication) in the subdividing and developing of land
7- 0 7 ATTACHMENT 2
within the City shall be directly related to the density and
intensity of each subdivision and development.
The amount of land to be dedicated by a developer shall be based
on the gross area of the propose subdivision, proposed type of
dwelling unit and density. Census .data for 1985 of 3.5 residents
for single family, 2.8 for duplex, 2.1 for townhouse/quad. and
1.9 for apartments has been used as density standards for
formulating calculations in meeting the criteria of park needs
of Eagan residents.

E. Grading and utility plans, which may affect or impact the
proposed park dedication,' shall be, reviewed and approved by
the Parks and Recreation Director prior to dedication, or
at such time as is reasonably determined.
F. To be.eligible for park dedication credit, land dedicated
is to be located outside of drainways, flood plains or
ponding areas after the site has been developed. Grades
exceeding 128 or are unsuitable for parks development shall
be considered for partial dedication.
Where ponding has been determined to have a park function,
credit will be given at a rate of 508 of the pond and
adjoining land area below the high water level; a minimum
of 708 of land above the high water mark shall be dedicated
before pond credit is granted. Other City park dedication
policies relating to pond dedication must also be complied
with.
In those cases where subdividers and developers of land
provide significant amenities such as, but not limited to
swimming pools, tennis courts, handball courts, ball
fields, etc., within the development for the benefit of
those residing or working therein, and where, in the
judgment of the Director of Parks and Recreation, such
amenities significantly reduce the demand s for public
recreational facilities to serve the development, the
Director may recommend to the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission that the amount of land to be dedicated for
park, playground and public open space (or cash
contributions in lieu of such dedication) be reduced by an
amount not to exceed 258 of the amount calculated under
paragraph 2 above.
G. The City, upon ,review, may determine that the developer
shall create and maintain some form of on-site recreation
use by the site residents such as tot lots and open play
space. This requirement may be in addition to the land or
cash dedication requirement.
If, at the option of the City, it is determined that a cash
dedication shall be made, said cash shall be placed in a special
fund for Parks and Recreation use and deposited by the developer
with the City prior to final plat approval.
The City Council, upon review and recommendation of the Advisory
Parks and Recreation Commission, shall annually determine by
resolution the park cash dedication fee per residential unit.
Said, fee shall be determined by the average market value of
undeveloped residential property by zoning classification,
served by major City utilities, divided by the number of units
per acre, which shall provide the equivalency of twelve acres
per thousand population.

for park, playground, and public open space purposes, an amount
of land up to 7.58 of the net land area within the development
as determined by the City.
In those cases where the City does not require park or open
space within such developments, the City shall require payment
of fees in ,lieu of such land 'dedication in an amount equal to
$.05 per square foot of net land area, or such amount as
determined by the City Council. Cash shall be contributed at the
time of approval of each final plat or at the time of site plan
or building permit approval., as determined by the City. The fee

have received site plan approval prior to January 1, 1983, but
have not been issued building permit approval, the City shall be
in an amount equal to $0.2 per sq. ft. of net land which shall
be contributed at the time of building permit approval.
A credit of up to 258 of the -required dedication may be allowed
by the City Council for on-site storm sewer, water, ponding and
settling basins provided that such improvements benefit
identifiable park and recreation water resources.
The, City Council, upon review and recommendation of the Advisory
Parks and Recreation Commission, may annually review and
determine by resolution an adjustment to the
industrial/commercial fee based upon the City's estimate of the
average value.of undeveloped commercial/industrial land in the
City.
Developers shall be responsible for making certain improvements
to their developments for park, playground and public open space
purposes as follows:
A. Provide finished grading and ground cover for all park,
playground, trail and public open spaces within their
development as part of their development contract or site

RESPECT TO WHICH CASH IS TO BE CONTRIBUTED TO THE CITY IN LIEU OF
SUCH CONVEYANCE OR DEDICATION, ALL AS PROVIDED BY SECTION 13.20 OF
THE CITY CODE.
1. Pnrnose.
The City Council recognizes that in the best interest of the health,
safety and welfare of the residents of Eagan, that a standard be
adopted to complete the Park Trail System as set forth in the Eagan
Comprehensive Guide Plan. The Eagan trail system is designed to
provide links between the various points of interest and public
facilities which exist and are planned within the community. To more
adequately assure the timeliness and priority of the completion of
segments of the trail system, the Council has resolved that as a
prerequisite to plat approval, subdividers shall dedicate land for
trails and/or shall make cash contribution to the City's park trail
fund as provided by this section.
a. Land to be dedicated shall be reasonably suited for its
intended use and shall be at a location identified upon the
City of Eagan's Trail Plan.
b. The Park and Recreation Advisory Committee shall recommend
to the City Council the trail land dedication and/or cash
contribution requirements for proposed subdivisions.

August 1, 1989, City Council Meeting
REQUEST FOR COST PARTICIPATION/FAIRWAY HILLS.
H. Request For Cost Participation, Fairway._gills let E 2nd
Additions - Frontage Road --Enclosed on pages i/X through 22�3 is
a letter submitted by the developers of the Fairway Hills 1st and
2nd Additions requesting Council consideration of City and/or
County financial participation in the reimbursement of the existing
retaining wall, easement acquisitions and utility relocations
necessary to construct the Pilot Knob Road frontage road from
Camelback Drive to Interlachen Drive along the east side of Pilot
Knob Road within the Fairway Hills 1st and 2nd Additions.
The City and County staff have held extensive meetings with Mr.
Hermann regarding this issue. It is the opinion of the City and
County that it is the developer's responsibility to construct the
frontage road in accordance with previously approved development
agreements and current engineering standards. While the right -of -
,way for this frontage road was technically platted with the Fairway
Hills 1st Addition, its construction was specifically deleted until
the second phase development to ensure that its location,
elevation, setback and other design criteria was compatible with
the pending Pilot Knob Road improvement. It appears that the
current location and elevations of the rough grading for this
frontage road are not compatible with the final Pilot Knob Road
design.
The City staff contends that with the developer's option to design
and construct this roadway privately, they assume the
responsibility to ensure that the design is compatible with the
adjacent Pilot Knob Road improvement and that they assume their
financial obligations for 100% of the cost in accordance with the
development agreement for the Fairway Hills lst and 2nd Additions.
Enclosed on pages through is a letter from the Public
Works Director to the developer forwarning them of the need to
coordinate designa construction scheduling. Enclosed on pages
ZZa through 2- is City and County staffs' response to the
specific items addr ssed in the development's request. Due to the
extensive volume of the referenced attachments to the developer's
submittal, it will be presented and made available at the Council
meeting on August 1, 1989. If any individual would like a copy of
any specific attachment or all of them prior to the meeting, please
contact the Director of Public Works.
The developer is appealing the staff's position to the City Council
requesting that the City and/or County financially participate in
the construction of this frontage road.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/deny the
developer's request for City/County financial participation for the
Fairway Hills frontage road along Pilot Knob Road between Camelback
Drive and Interlachen Boulevard.

Mike Foertsch
Assistant City Engineer
City of Eagan
Dear Mike:
In compliance with your request of last week and with the
understanding that there will be no more delays in either
the resolution.of the Service Drive and/,or scheduling of
DMS/Bridlewilde Joint Venture on the agenda for the next
City Council Meeting, I hereby present the facts and ou3f
request to the Engineering Staff and City Council of
Eagan:
Occurrence
Date
Letter from Larry Figgins to the City indicating 3-25-86
items to be addressed for County approval. These
1.4 changes were made in the DMS/Probe Engineering
design for Phase I and II of,Fairway Hills.
Letter from Larry Figgins/County granting access 4-3-86
to Pilot Knob Road and temporary access until
completion of Pilot Knob Project at Camelback
Drive and Pilot Knob. Also indicated basic
approval by the County of the proposed DMS
plat at that date.
Permit granted to DMS for construction by County, 6-26-86
authorization number 3177 for first 11000 feet in
Southerly direction on East side of Pilot Knob
Road. This includes the area of the retaining
wall and Camelback Drive Service Road intersection
in question.
Letter from Enron requiring that the Service Road 8-29-86
be set at specific height along Pilot Knob Road,
as well as other previous communications•.
County sends out plan showing DMS Road and showing
Trailways that City requires, but shows no concern
for grade change between Camelback/Service Drive
intersection and/or Service Drive all the way to
then proposed Interlachen Drive. But most importantly
no _need for retaining walls is mentioned on either
side of Pilot knob Road.
2��
Plans for Phase I approved for DMS by Mike 4-87
Foertsch,. DMS instructed to plat Phase I
and outlot three lots only. Service DRive
in question was platted at that time. City
then requested that DMS not construct the
service drive until Enron lowered the,pipe-
line in conjunction with Pilot KNob Project.
DMS did as requested. However, DMS was
instructed by the city staff to install
questioned manhole5at Camelback Drive
intersection point according to approved
grade at service drive intersection.
Fairway Hills plat approved and filed 6-2-87
Construction Started
Spring 87
Construction completed. Catch basin at 8-87
intersection of Camelback Drive and
Service Drive installed.per plan
previously approved and accepted by
City Staff and County permit N 3177
granting easement rights and letter
dated 4-3-86 from Larry Figgins
basically approving the plan. It
should be noted at this time that
the City Engineering staff, as well as
the City consulting engineers, Bonestroo
and Rosene had inspected and approved the
installation in accordance with the plan.
Letter from County saying Pilot Knob now 12-22=87
designed. It was obvious from the plan
that their design did not meet up well
with what DMS previously submitted to them
platted and constructed. Quite obviously
an error in their design existed_ No
mention of a retaining wall and/or guard
rail or elevations existed. In the same
letter they asked for easements and excess
fill which we promptly indicated we would
give free of charge in Phase II development.
Letter from Eagan staff to Don Patton, then 1-8-88
Project Coordinator for DMS in Phase I of
Fairway Hills. The letter states that
significant changes are evident between
our constructed manholes and intersection
of Camelback Drive and Service Drive. In
the same letter the staff agrees to reduce
the Service Drive width from Thirty Four
feet to Thirty feet and asks us to redesign
the plan because of the City need for Trailways.
Bridlewilde agreed to redesign the plan and ask
for approval.
County Engineer basically approving plat for 2-23-88
second phase after redesign.
Grading permit requested of the City for Phase 3-17-88
II in accordance with the asked for redesign
including the questioned area.
Gas line letter setting minimum clearances 4-26-88
as they exist today in the Service Road
area along lots between Phase I and II.
Letter from Roger Derrick to the City 4-26-88
recapping past occurrences.
Permit from the County on second phase for 4-29-88
redesigned plan. In the permit the County
makes special notation that no grading is
to take place in their right of way without
their contractor's approval.
City signs off and approves Phase II grading 5-4-88
plan and Phase I service road outlot. Grading
completed to approved plans.
Prior to final plat approval staff requests 6-17-88
inclusion of possible retaining wall to be
constructed at Camelback Drive/Service Road
intersection. No where in the development
agreement or on the plans does it indicate
who is to construct the possibly needed
retaining wall. I•t is obvious by this
time that the County has, in their plan,
had to consider elevation changes and a
retaining wall on the West side of Pilot
Knob as well as along Cliff Road East of
Pilot Knob. Yet no inclusions on the
County grading plan discuss retaining wall
needs at the questioned intersection that
was approved, platted and constructed by
DMS the year before.
Letter from Mike Foertsch giving permission 6-28-88
to proceed with Phase 1 -II under his sign
off, saying that we have all the needed
City and County approvals of the plan.
Phase II is constructed today according
to this approved plan.
County begins construction of Pilot Knob and 7-15-88
Cliff Road Project. County contractor grades
Service Road from Came16ack Drive/Service
Road intersection to approved and completed
grade of Interlachen Drive. During construction
of course, the County had to take into consid-
eration the approved intersection and the man-
hole in question. Upon completion of Cliff
Road/Pilot Knob Project the County subcontractor
installed retaining walls,, guard rails and _
adjusted road elevations as needed in all
areas necessary except in Fairway Hills in
the area of the Service Road and Camelback
intersection.
Letter from Don Patton to the County discussing 9-28-88
the grade changes made by the County which are
even more different than originally thought or
expected in the redesigned plan and called for
by the plan in the questioned area.
Bridlewilde Joint Venture provides and pays 10-88
for a cross section of Pilot Knob Road and
Camelback Drive/Service Road area to show
how possible walls could be constructed.
Because of County/City Pilot Knob Road
changes, Walls could not physically be
constructed at that late date. We also
felt that it was not our responsibility
and decided to give it over the winter in
the hope the matter would be settled by
spring. DMS/Bridlewilde Joint Venture
Started no other action because we wanted
to find out the full result of construction
and the intentions of the City and/or County.
We certainly didn't want to have a dispute
if men of common sense would realize and
correct their mistakes.
Craig Knutson of the City of Eagan okays and 5-89
approves construction of a retaining wall by
DMS Investments "as per approved cross sections",
but verbally indicates that nothing should happen
unless done in accordance with County instructions
and standards. Probe Engineering requested and
got County on site to direct and inspect retaining
wall construction. At this time the County changed
the entire wall construction from previously
verbally approved and agreed upon cross sections
submitted in 1988 by Probe and Bridlewilde Joint
Venture. Said changes were constructed and verbally
approved by the County.
El 0
Alexander Construction attempts to install 6-89
curb and gutter in Service Drive and Camel -
back Drive intersection. At this time
Alexander Construction requests City inspection.
Project was halted by the City staff because
of unsafe conditions.
To digress for a moment„ in May of 1989 the
City staff instructed us to follow County
direction. They gave instructions and we
followed them. They then stopped the project
stating that what the County had directed
for the installed retaining wall left an unsafe
intersection. They have since requested that
DMS/Bridlewilde redesign again, acquire necessary
easements from Lot 14, 'Block 5 which we do not
own, move the 1987 installed utilities, install
safety guard rail and continue their previously
stated position that this should all be at our
expense.
•M1
Mike, it should be understood that the County physically
graded and removed oux temporary entrance at Camelback
Drive by removingone hundred plus feet of blacktop and
made a cut of more than twelve feet from the previously
approved elevations that have still not been addressed
in County plans. the retaining wall, guard rail, road
and manhole moving and needed lot easement have all
come about because, quite obviously, the County either
forgot about previously platted, approved and constructed
areas, errored in calculations or had other ulterior
motives.
Bridlewilde had a set a County plans picked up in June
of 1989 and retaining walls elsewhere and pathways had
all of a sudden appeared except in the area of the
approved and constructed Camelback Service Drive,.
It is our request of the City Council of Eagan to
include in the Cliff Road and Pilot Knob Road project
overall assessment all costs of Bridlewilde, DMS, City
of Eagan and the County to insure a safe and proper
design for this area.
Obviously, Mike, we tried our best to satisfy alot of
different parties. At some points we felt that we stood
on our heads, but we feel that the problem that exists
is not our fault and that we should not have to pay for
it in any way, shape or form. Again, I reiterate that
we were there first, approved, platted and constructed.
It has always been my understanding that when a County
project takes place existing structures and approved
plats must be taken into consideration and costs incurred
are normally seen as part of the project.
Mike, to this point everything has gone very well and we
at Bridlewilde have felt very comfortable developing in
the City of Eagan. We do not want this to develop into
a bigger problem than it already is. We hope that you
will agree and provide the help needed to have all the
costs included in the Pilot Knob Project, as should
have been done from the beginning.
Sincerely.

Re: Fairway Bills 1st Addition
Completion of Subdivision Improvements (Detention Pond &
Frontage Road)
Contract 86-W
,Dear Mr. Patton:
As you recall, the requirement for the construction of the
detention ponding area in the northwest corner and the
construction of the Camel Back Drive frontage road along the east
side of Pilot Knob Road had to be constructed in a time sequence
compatible with the proposed upgrading of County Road 32 (Cliff
Road) and County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road) by the County. The
following is additional information and details that the City
would like to clarify at this time to provide adequate timing to
ensure this work is properly coordinated with this county road
improvement.
DETENTION POND BASIN (NORTHWEST CORNER)
During the initial preliminary plat and final grading plan
reviews, it was, determined that a detention ponding area was
required in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Cliff
and Pilot Knob Roads to detain excess runoff generated from your
development. During the early phases of the grading permit and
subsequent final plat, the completion of this detention ponding
area could not be accomplished due to the existance of a single
family house at this corner. This house was to be acquired by
the county as a part of the county road improvements.
Subsequently, an interim ponding plan was designed to accommodate
excess runoff from this subdivision until such time that ,the
permanent detention ponding basin could be constructed. As of
last month, the county has completed its acquisition and removal
process of this residential structure which now provides for the
completion of this required detention basin.
THE LONE OAK TREE... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
MR DON PATTON
JANUARY 8, 1988
PAGE 2
Presently, the county is completing detailed plans for the
reconstruction of these county roads adjacent to your
development: A revised grading plan for this required detention
basin based on the final county design is enclosed for your
information. You will note that the construction of this ponding
area requires the extension of your existing storm sewer outfall
and adjustment of an existing sanitary sewer manhole. In order
to minimize any potential adverse impact to the future
construction activity of the county improvement, it will be
necessary to have the proposed drainage basin, storm sewer
extension and related berming completed by the end of April,
1988.
The enclosed grading plan for this detention ponding basin also
shows an additional 30' drainage easement in the northeast corner
of Lot 15, Block 2, at the southern end of this drainage basin to
incorporate the high water elevation of 972.•0. The appropriate
easement document to be executed is also enclosed with this
letter.
Because a portion of' this drainage basin construction is located
within existing county road right-of-way, I encourage you to
contact Mr. Larry Figgins of the Dakota County Highway Department
(431-1150) to determine what permits, if any, are necessary to
initiate and complete this detention drainage basin construction.
Also, the temporary ponding area construction should be removed
and property restored to its proposed final contours with the
a propriate erosion control measures and restoration implemented.
CAMEL BACK DRIVE FRONTAGE ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Because of the significant change in the elevation of Pilot Knob
Road associate wi a county improvement, a temporary access
for Camel Back.Drive was allowed. However, upon completion of
the Pilot Knob Road improvement, this access will have to be
eliminated requiring the completion of the frontage road portion
of Camel Back Drive southerly to, and incorporating, the Dolores
Lane intersection with Pilot Knob Road.
It will be necessary for you to contact the County Highway
Department to obtain the county road improvement design
information to ensure that your frontage road design (elevation,
street grades, setback, radii, etc.,) is compatible with the
final county design and construction.
In preparing your final designs for this frontage road for formal
City review and approval, please be informed that the width of
this street can be reduced from the original 34' (BB) to 30-' (BB)
to provide greater separation between the frontage road and Pilot
Knob Road.

Because of the fast approaching contract award for the county
road improvements, it is necessary for you to begin, in earnest,
compatible scheduling of your responsible improvements to
minimize any conflicts with the county road construction.
Therefore, I would appreciate a written response indicating a
proposed time frame that the City and county can anticipate the
above -referenced work to be initiated and completed by. Please
work directly with Mike Foertsch, Assistant City Engineer, in the
submission of all street and utility plans associated with these
improvements to be performed by your development. Your
anticipated cooperation and prompt response will be greatly
appreciated.

SUBJECT: FAIRWAY HILLS IST ADDITION
REQUEST FOR CITY/COUNTY COST PARTICIPATION
FRONTAGE ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Staff has received a request from Bridlewilde Joint Venture/DMS
Investments for Council consideration for including the cost for
the design and construction of the frontage road in the Fairway
Hills development which lies east of Pilot Knob Road between
Camelback Drive and Interlachen Drive. It appears that the most
appropriate way to respond to Mr. Hermann's letter is to reference
each date shown in his letter and provide a staff response to each
identified occurrence.

access to Pilot Knob Road until such a time that the
Pilot Knob Road upgrade is completed.

access road onto Pilot Knob Road.
6-26-8.6
Permit from County allowing grading in the County

8-29-86
As stated by Mr. Hermann'.
There was no need for concern by the County for the
proposed grades on the frontage road since the
Fairway Hills development's willingness to match the
proposed Pilot Knob Road reconstructed grades.
3-27-87
This is the date noted on the Pilot Knob Road
construction plans. It should be noted that the
construction plans for Pi -lot Knob Road included the
following note "proposed Fairway Hills by others".
4-87
The issue is not the elevation as much as it is the
location which appears to be not fitting Pilot Knob
Road. To date, the development has not submitted
specific details of the frontage road construction
to verify elevation or location of the utility
structures constructed under the Fairway Hills,Ist
Addition.

road, the development is advised to obtain pertinent
data from the County for the development's design
of the frontage road and subsequent construction.
The frontage road width was reduced from 34' to 301.

Mr. Hermann also states that the cross section and

�?,aq
Page 4
6-89 The Development was attempting to install the
frontage road in the location as depicted on the
proposed construction plans. There appears to be
an error in the Development's construction plans
because the location and elevation of the frontage
road could not be constructed in the location as
depicted on the plans. Again, the profile, grade,
and location of Pilot Knob Road has not changed from
the original plans dated 3-27-87.
The County has reviewed the letter submitted by Mr. Hermann. The
County's position on the matter is that the developer was ,informed'
of the requirements to build the frontage road before any of their
construction started. It has been stated from the beginning that
the developer's improvements must conform with the approved
construction plan for Pilot Knob Road and Cliff Road. The frontage
road construction from the beginning has always been the
responsibility of the developer.
In summary, there appears to have been a number of correspondence
items between the development and the City and/or the County which
identify the necessity for the development to contact the County
to ensure that the frontage road design is compatible with the
Pilot Knob Road design.
To date, City staff has not received details of'the frontage road
construction that would substantiate the Development's claim for
compensation. The construction plans from the Developer simply
do not provide the level of detail necessary to justify the claim.
There simply must be an error in the construction plans submitted
by the Development. When the Development attempted to construct
the frontage road as shown on his plans, it simply did not fit
where the construction plan shows that it should.
The Development has always been responsible for the frontage road
con ruction and this responsibility has not been shifted to the
Cnd the Coun)y by any action or lack thereof of the City.

Re: C 31-21 Fairway Hills Service Road
Dear Mike:
DAVID L. EVERDS, P.E.
COUNTY ENGINEER
(612) 431-1150
APPLE VALLEY. MINNESOTA 55124
1 am sending comments by Dave Robley on Al Herrmann's letter to
you. The County's position is that the developer was informed of
the requirements to build the service road before any of their
construction started, that the developer's improvements must
conform with the approved construction plan for C 31-21 along
Pilot Knob Road and Cliff Road, and that the service road is the
responsibility of the developer to construct and at his cost.
Dakota County did not approve any plans for Fairway Hills'
utilities or service road. The County did approve the plat with
a temporary connection for Camelback Drive. The County permitted
the Fairway Hills developers to perform work on public right of
way that would conform with the .proposed construction of C 31-21.
Tom Colbert stated in his January 8, 1988 letter to Don Patton
that "it will be necessary for Derrick Companies to contact the
County to insure that the frontage road design is compatible with
the final County design." On March 22, 1988, Derrick Companies
stated that "Probe Engineering coordinated the grades of the
service road to interface with the final grade for Pilot Knob
Road." Construction plans from Probe Engineering dated 1/27/88
for the Pilot Knob Frontage Road, contain a note stating "a
retaining wall will be constructed if necessary." The Pilot Knob
Road grades shown on the 1/27/88 plan by Probe Engineering
conforms with the approved plan for C 31-21. Eagan approved
Probe's plan 6/17/88, which is after the letting date for
C 31-21. Based on this information, the developer should perform
the construction necessary to conform with C 31-21 construction
which is already in place.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
I.f you have any questions, feel free to contact Dave Robley or
me. We plan to have someone at the August 1st Council meeting.

have a temporary connection to CSAH 31 until CSAH 31 is
rebuilt. At that time, the temporary connection will be closed
and must follow the service road southerly. No indication of who
is to construct service road (reads as though developer will
construct). This letter also specifies that Lot 18, Block 5 will
be set aside for the Northern Natural Gas Substation and will be
transferred to the County. The County and City ultimately paid
for this lot.

Letter from Tom Colbert to Don Patton regarding completion of the
detention pond and frontage road. This letter clearly states
that in order to minimize adverse impacts to the County's
construction, the detention pond must be completed by April,

included for his information. This letter also informs the
developer of the need to complete the frontage road along CSAH
31. The developer was instructed to contact the County to insure
that their frontage road desipn conforms with the final County
design. The City allowed a 30 street instead of 34' to make it
easier to design and construct.

Subject: Progress Report Required by City-MWCC Development Agreement
Dear Mr. Hedges:
This letter is intended to serve as the progress report required by
Section 3.2(d) of the City-MWCC Development Agreement.
The Plant Expansion project is proceeding on schedule. The Site
Preparation contract is projected for completion during August, 1989.
The general Plant Expansion contract has been awarded. Construction
is projected to commence approximately when the site preparation has
been completed.
The Residual Solids Management Report has been completed and its
recommended plan has been adopted by MWCC after receiving input from
the City and interested citizens. The project includes odor control
for the sludge incinerators and Solids Processing Building. An engi-
neering design contract has been awarded to HDR/OSM, and preliminary
design will begin this month. The project is proceeding on schedule.
Chemical treatment has been, and will continue to be, used at the
Seneca Plant for odor control. Chlorine is being added to the
influent wastewater at the Seneca Plant headworks area. Potassium
permanganate is being added to the sludge feed to the belt filter
press in the Solids Processing Building. In addition, on an experi-
mental basis, grit tank off -gas is being treated by a leased chemical
scrubber.
Chemical (sodium hypochlorite, i.e. bleach) addition is being used at
Meter 500 on an experimental basis to determine its effectiveness as
an interim or temporary supplement to the odor control system at Meter
500. Due to equipment (pump) failure, additional time is needed to
gather enough data upon which to evaluate the benefits of chemical
addition. Pump repairs are being made, and temporary gravity feed of
chemical is being attempted.

Modifications to the carbon scrubber unit at Meter 500 have been made
to eliminate short-circuiting of gas. Performance has been excellent
since these modifications were made. A chemical scrubber is being
installed at Meter 500 to operate in series with the carbon unit.
This should further improve odor removal efficiency. These improve-
ments will be operational by October 1, 1989.
We were notified on Monday, July 24, 1989, that one of the residences
in the Wuthering Heights area south of the project site was no longer
able to get water from their well. We are currently working to verify
that the loss of water is a result of dewatering activities at the
Seneca Plant project site. If the loss of water is a result of
construction activities at the plant, a service connection to city
water will be provided. In the interim, arrangements have been made
for bottled drinking water delivery to the residence.
A project bulletin has been developed to update interested parties on
the status of the plant expansion, odor task force, well testing and
other activities at the Seneca Plant. This bulletin will be mailed in
early August to local residents, the City of Eagan and other
interested individuals and groups. The purpose of the bulletin is to
improve communication with area residents and the City of Eagan.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

MWCC PROJECT BULLETIN
A Publication From The. Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion — Summer 1989 229-2100
Expansion includes $4.5 million for odor control
Shte preparation is well underway at
the Seneca Wastewater Treatment
Plant in Eagan as workers by the
groundwork for a three-year expansion
and upgrade project now estimated to
cost $68 million.
The expansion and a concurrent solids
handling project include $4.5 million in
odor control improvements.
Doug Warner, project manager for the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commis-
sion, expects site preparation to be com-
plete in August and construction to
begin in August or September. All sys-
tems are expected to be operating by the
fall of 1992.
Approximately 700,000 cubic yards of
dirt will be moved this summer —
enough to bury a football field 500 feet
deep — to make room for additional
treatment tanks and other improvements.
When work is complete, the plant's
treatment capacity will increase from 24
to 34 million gallons per day.
The expansion and upgrade is necessary
to meet growing demands for develop-
ment in Eagan, Burnsville and
Bloomington, and to comply with ever
more strict water and air quality stand-
ards.
Approximately 700,000 cubic yards of dirt will be moved this summer.
"The expansion and upgrade include a
number of odor control measures,"
Warner said. "We'll now be covering
and containing odor in the headworks
area where the wastewater enters the
plant, covering the primary clarifiers,
and then collecting and treating the
odorous ventilation air from all these
areas."
The new odor control system includes a
wet scrubber followed by two carbon ab-
sorption units housed in a separate build-
ing that is part of the expansion.
Two other significant aspects of the ex-
pansion include adding a dechlorina-
Odor committee shares concerns
Su months after it began, a unique
committee comprised of staff mem-
bers from the Metropolitan Waste Con-
trol Commission, the City of Eagan and
Eagan residents is well underway in a
combined effort to improve communica-
tion and resolve concerns surrounding
the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The Seneca Odor Control Advisory
Committee — aptly named after one of
the group's goals — resulted from an
agreement between the MWCC and the
City of Eagan to allow local input on
matters of public concern.
Continued on reverse

tion unit and "super saturating" the
treated wastewater with oxygen. The de-
chlorination unit will neutralize residual
chlorine added to the wastewater to kill
bacteria. "Super saturating" the treated
wastewater with oxygen will reduce the
treated wastewater's impact on the
river, reducing its demand for oxygen
from the untreated river water.
More odor control measures are planned
as part of the concurrent solids handling
improvement project. This project also
includes the installation of afterburners
and wet scrubbers to treat incinerator
exhaust.
The incinerator improvements were
among the recommendations of a con-
sultant hired by the MWCC to study
oda control. The consultant, Malcolm
Pimie, Inc., said the afterburners would
further reduce emission odor and that
wet scrubbers would further reduce ex -
hast particles. As a long range goal, the
MWCC is planning to reduce Seneca
sludge incineration by more than 50 per-
cent by developing marker for land ap-
plication of sludge.
Advisory committee shares concerns
Continued from front
Group members estab-
lished four principle
goals during initial
meetings last winter
and spring:
• to provide for infor-
mation exchange
and open discussion;
• to provide a forum
for preview, review
and updates of con-
struction progress
and status;
• to review odor com-
plaints; and
Committee members Include Fagan residents and
representatives of the MWCC and City of Eagan.
• to resolve potential conflicts and dif-
ficulties by more effective com-
munication.
Bob Polta, MWCC air quality manager
and the agency's designated contact on
the committee, said, "We've had some
wide-ranging discussions, but the com-
mittee has certainly provided a forum
for residents to raise their concerns and
allowed us to actively respond."
Other members of the committee in-
clude two residents from Eagan's
Wuthering Heights neighborhood, one
Eagan resident at -large and one repre-
sentative from the City of Eagan.
Two committee positions that were of-
fered to the Silver Bell/Cedarvale busi-
ness community have not yet been filled.
The MWCC has also been represented
by additional support staff from en-
gineering, construction, oda control,
community relations and from the plant
itself. Several officials from the City of
Eagan have also attended at times.
Karla Eggink, MWCC staff engineer
and oda control specialist, pointed out
that the MWCC is investing $4.5 mil-
lion on odor control equipment in the
current expansion and improvement
project.
"People are comfortable bringing their
concerns forward We may not always
have a quick answer, but we're com-
mitted to finding answers and reporting
them back at a later meeting; she said.
Call the Odor Response Line
The Odor Response Line drew one
dozen calls in its fust three
months of existence. Community Rela-
tions Officer Pauline Langsdorf en-
courages residents to use the service.
"All the complaints are reviewed;
she said. "We need to know where
and when the odor is noticed to deter-
mine the source. We chart the calls on
a cumulative map and study them to
see whether adjustments are necessary
in the system. We want people to
know we're taking steps to improve

the, situation." The Odor Response
Line accepts calls 24 hours per day,
seven days per week, she pointed out.
Well test
results due
back soon
Results are due in late July from a
second set of well tests initialed by
the Metropolitan Waste Control Com-
mission to determine the quality of
water in residential wells bordering the
Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Residents had requested that their wells
be tested before construction began to
establish a baseline for monitoring the
effects of the plant expansion.
The second test was also requested by
area residents after a small but detec-
table amount of organic material was
found in some wells during initial test-
ing Iasi spring.
"The second test is being conducted to
verify the initial results," said Rebecca
Flood, MWCC regulatory compliance
manager.
"It's a goodwill gesture, really, in the
ongoing effort to be a responsible neigh-
bor. When the second test results are in
more information will be available to
the Dakota County Environmental
Health staff to determine the source of
the organics," Flood said.
Water samples were drawn June 28
from nine wells near the treatment
plant. A second laboratory, PACE
Laboratories, is conducting and analyz-
ing the tests using the same method ap-
plied in the first sample.
At the residents' request, results from
the lest will be mailed directly from
PACE Laboratories to interested'
homeowners, the City of Eagan and the
Dakota County Department of Health as
well as to the MWCC.
In a related matter, Flood said the
MWCC has installed two sets of obser-
vation wells near the Minnesota River
to monitor the effect of the plant expan-
sion on the groundwater level at Nicols
Meadow Fen.
The wells are set at depths of 20 feet
and 70 feet Data will be studied to as-
sure preservation of the fen, a protected
wetland.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
D. Project 572, Lexington Way - street & Trunk Water Main --In the
consideration of the proposed street improvement for Lexington
Avenue, there have been several questions raised as to whether
Lexington Way should be upgraded as proposed with a connection to
Lexington Avenue or whether it should end in a cul-de-sac on the
north end. This issue was first raised at the Council meeting on
December 16, 1986, during discussion of the final plat approval for
the Lexington Hills Addition apartment complex located on the east
side of Lexington Avenue. Due to the apartment's proposed access
on to Lexington Avenue, there was a requirement with support from
staff and the City Council to cul-de-sac the north end of Lexington
Way with development of the church property on the east side
currently being processed as the Eagan Evangelical Covenant Church
Addition which was formally reviewed by the Planning Commission on
July 25 with Council consideration to occur on August 15, 1989.
With the provision of this cul-de-sac, there are references to the
developer (Jim Curry) committing to a financial participation of
$15,000 for its construction and a requirement for an east/west
'street or semi-public access between Lexington Way and Lexington
Avenue through the proposed Evangelical Church development.
With the preliminary plat of the Evangelical Covenant Church being
considered on August 15, it may be appropriate to continue this
public hearing until that same meeting to discuss both issues
concurrently. In the meantime, staff will try to research the
status of the escrow and the County's current position regarding
the cul-de-sac and church access on to Lexington Way.

BLACRHAWR TRAFFIC SURVEY
The Police Department has concluded speed surveys on Blackhawk Road
near the Hanson residence, and their findings show there is heavy
traffic in the area and some speeds are running 10 to 12 miles an
hour over the posted 35 mile an hour speed limit. The Police
Department will continue to monitor the Blackhawk Road area and
contact Mrs. Hanson with the results and action the police will be
taking.
A magazine entitled Governing the States and Localities is a

The general Plant Expansion contract has been awarded. Constrdcttion
is projected to commence approximately when the site preparation has
been completed.
The Residual Solids Management Report has been completed and its
recommended plan has been adopted by MWCC after receiving=input'4rom
the City and interested citizens. The project includes odor control

Chemical (sodium hypochlorite, i.e. bleach) addition is being used at
Meter 500 on an experimental basis to determine its effectiveness as
an interim or temporary supplement to the odor control system at Meter
500. Due to equipment (pump) failure, additional time is needed to
gather enough data upon which to evaluate the benefits of chemical
addition. Pump repairs are being made, and temporary gravity feed of

How WE SPENrI, THE 19806:
A PRE -CENSUS LOOK
AT A CHANGING AMERICA
Immigration, inner city decline and an aging
population create issues that will
preoccupy local policy makers for years.
By Rob Gurwitt
On the edge of downlou-n St. Paul, Minnesota, a
half mile from the marble dome of the stale
capitol, stands one of the most striking outposts of
demographic change anysyhere in America.
it hardly seems remarkable at first: a public housing
project with a single brick high-rise and a collection of
box}' apartments in tired browns and greens, scattered over
a small hillside. On a warn day in late spring, young
children play in the tiny yards that border the apartments,
and an old woman stands watching the occasional car pass
by. A few hundred yards away, traffic shuffles into a
freeway construction zone.
This is nn ordinary urban backwater, though. Most of
the children who cone spilling out of the school buses that
pull up in mid-afternoon are the first in their families to
go to school—any kind of school. Few of the people
driving through the neighborhood had even well a car 10
Yeats ago. The old women, with cloth coils resting on their
heads and delicately traced traditional clothing oil their
backs, could have stepped out of a Southeast Asian village.
Which, in fact, they did. There are almost 300 families
living at Mount Airy Homes, as this project is called, and
more than 90 percent of them are limong refugees from
the hills of Laos. They are part of a small flood of llmong
M-110 have arrived in St. Paul over the course of this decade.
They represent a single piece of compelling evidence about
how dramatically the face of America has changed in the
nine years since the last census.
During the 1980s, the United States has become more
deeply multi-ethnic and culturally diverse, as Asians of all
nationalities have moved into Fresno and Sall Lake City,
Chicago. Los Angeles and Seattle, Honolulu and Provi-
dence, while from the south Mexicans, Haitians, Salva-
dorans and other Central Americans have streamed, legally
and illegally, over the border.
That tidal wave of immigrants is only, the runs[ dramatic
manifestation of how unsettled this counlry's human
landscape is. The landscape has also been shifting in oliler,
subtler ways over the past 10 years, even in a cnmparn-
lively placid corner of the Midwest. A few miles west of
Mount Airy Homes, in Minneapolis, race relations and
racial issues have taken on new currency as the cilds
minority population grows beyond its traditionally minus-
cule dimensions. Older suburbs along Minneapolis' borders,
unrried about the aging of their populations, are struggling

Meamyhile, to [lie south, 10 miles dorl'n the freeway that
passes by Mount Airy Ifomes, a tier of new suburbs mound
the tmvn of Eagan tries to come to terms with storming
growth.
Similar shifts are changing the character of central cities
and their suburbs all across the counlrl. And as they do,
they are creating issues that will preoccupy local policy
makers for years to come. The first chance In gauge these
.changes fully and accurately won't come until well after
next year's decennial census is taken. Although sonic
preliminary numbers should be not by the end mf 1990,
detailed results will not be avallable until 1991 or 1992.
Still, even before the census is completed, -it's possible to
answer some crucial questions. The U.S. Census Bureau's
Current Population Survey gives generally reliable infor-
mation about population shifts at the national and regional
levels. Local and slate officials who want to follow their
changing communities use birth and death statistics, school
enrollment information, driver's license transfers for people
moving into the state, construction permits and occasional
surveys to gel a notion of whal's happening on their lurf.

Eagnn one of the fastest -grnscing communities in the

green space, we look it over and ask ourselves whether we

Probably the greatest impact is being fell in the local
schools. There are between 1,100 and 1,2(X) additinoal
students each year entering the Rosemount distriel, which
takes in about a third of Eagan and a spin",] of olber

school's worth of pupils a year, and the district has been
struggling to keep up. It is opening a nes% middle school

and a new high school in the fall, and will soon break
ground un two more elementary schools. "I don't know
Ilnw long this can continue," says JoAnne Ellison, the
schotd district's demographer. "Even opening the two
elementaries, that'll only last us about two years."
This is a fertile area in more than one sense. The
Iluggies cartons piled at the end of driveways on trash day
are le5linunty to the fact that the district is going 10 have
to keep building schools for a while. There are some 180)0
children spread throughout the school system, and already
another 9,3(10 pre-schoolers who will be entering it in the
next four or five years.
Demographics will only compound the situation in the
1990s. Ellison las found in her surveys that, contrary to
now. The Denver area grew rapidly between 1980 and
1985, bill in the past few years the rate has dropped
dramatically, hampered by a recession caused by the
collapse of the oil and gas industries, a shakeout in
high-technology businesses, and agricultural problems.
The drop in the rale of growth comes despite Denver's
attractiveness as a location. The twin blessings of sunshine
and mountains had given local boosters a deep-seated faith
that people would flock there no matter what. But as one
Colorado official puts it, "In the last few years, a lot more
people have left Denver than moved here. Now, the
mountains haven't moved farther away, and the sun isn't
shining any less; it has to do with the ability of a
metropolitan area to support its people."
Denver's situation is a
reminder that the grand
sweep of numbers measur-
ing growth and decline
over a decade can hide Ilse
most interesting local sto-
ries. The 1990 census will
show, for example, that sub-
urban Aurora, just east of
Denver, grew al an as-
tounding pace during the
1980s. What it will not
show is that in the past year
or so, Aurora may actually
have lost population. By the
same token, knowing that
metropolitan San Diego
grew 23 percent between
1980 and 1987 may be less
important than knowing
that the northern part of
the county was attracting
middle-class home buyers
from more expensive Or-
ange and Riverside coun-
ties, while the south was
drawing Hispanic and
Asian immigrants who
couldn't afford to live anywhere else in the area.
The demographer's art—and the policy maker's burden—
lies in discerning the subtleties behind the big numbers. It
is an art, because the demographer who pursues the
numbers imaginatively creates meaning. it is a burden,
because every change affects the community in which it
occurs, and public officials have to deal with the results.
Streams of Hmong displace others in need of public
housing. A rising black population forces officials in what
used to be an overwhelmingly while city to deal with racial
tension for the first time. Older people who elect to hold
on to their houses as long as possible may bring about the
decline of a school district. The most important point is
sometimes buried in the statistical tables: Demographics is
ultimately about politics. Or, as St. Paul Planning Director
Peggy Reichert puts it, "The minute you start talking
about l u alters, it's good news or bad news to some-
one." ❑
The Rosemount school district hired demogrupher JoAnne ewson to netp n p,,.,, .o.

what she had expected, the starter homes in the area are
bringing iu.few children; instead, childless young couples
are buying those houses, using two incomes to pay the
mortgage and po stpouiug children for a while. The houses
attracting families with children are in the higher price
range. And since those are the ones now being built in the
areas ole n to development, the school-age population may
increase at an even faster rate in the 1990s.
It is tempting in the face of such numbers to think of
groxlh as a community destiny. Certainly Eagan
expects to keep growing: Hedges believes that it has
the potential to reach between 80,000 and 100,0()0
residents by the end of the century, although the planning
department anticipates that it will peak at around 70,(N)0.

Subject: Progress Report Required by City-MWCC Development Agreement
Dear Mr. Hedges:
This letter is intended to serve as the progress report required by
Section 3.2(d) of the City-MWCC Development Agreement.
The Plant Expansion project is proceeding on schedule. The Site
Preparation contract is projected for completion during August, 1989.
The general Plant Expansion contract has been awarded. Construction
is projected to commence approximately when the site preparation has
been completed.
The Residual Solids Management Report has been completed and its
recommended plan has been adopted by MWCC after receiving input from
the City and interested citizens. The project includes odor control
for the sludge incinerators and Solids Processing Building. An engi-
neering design contract has been awarded to HDR/OSM, and preliminary
design will begin this month. The project is proceeding on schedule.
Chemical treatment has been, and will continue to be, used at the
Seneca Plant for odor control. Chlorine is being added to the
influent wastewater at the Seneca Plant headworks area. Potassium
permanganate is being added to the sludge feed to the belt filter
press in the Solids Processing Building. In addition, on an experi-
mental basis, grit tank off -gas is being treated by a leased chemical
scrubber.
Chemical (sodium hypochlorite, i.e. bleach) addition is being used at
Meter 500 on an experimental basis to determine its effectiveness as
an interim or temporary supplement to the odor control system at Meter
500. Due to equipment (pump) failure, additional time is needed to
gather enough data upon which to evaluate the benefits of chemical
addition. Pump repairs are being made, and temporary gravity feed of
chemical is being attempted.

Modifications to the carbon scrubber unit at Meter 500 have been made
to eliminate short-circuiting of gas. Performance has been excellent
since these modifications were made. A chemical scrubber is being
installed at Meter 500 to operate in series with the carbon unit.
This should further improve odor removal efficiency. These improve-
ments will be operational by October 1, 1989.
We were notified on Monday, July 24, 1989, that one of the residences
in the Wuthering Heights area south of the project site was no longer
able to get water from their well. We are currently working to verify
that the loss of water is a result of dewatering activities at the
Seneca Plant project site. If the loss of water is a result of
construction activities at the plant, a service connection to city
water will be provided. In the interim, arrangements have been made
for bottled drinking water delivery to the residence.
A project bulletin has been developed to update interested parties on
the status of the plant expansion, odor task force, well testing and
other activities at the Seneca Plant. This bulletin will be mailed in
early August to local residents, the City of Eagan and other
interested individuals and groups. The purpose of the bulletin is to
improve communication with area residents and the City of Eagan.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

MWCC PROJECT BULLETIN
A Publication From The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion — Summer 1989 229-2100
Expansion includes $4.5 million for odor control
Stae preparation is well underway at
the Seneca Wastewater Treatment
Plant in Fagan as workers lay the
groundwork for a three-year expansion
and upgrade project now estimated to
cost $68 million.
The expansion and a concurrent solids
handling project include $4.5 million in
oda control improvements.
Doug Warner, project manager for the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commis-
sion, expects site preparation to be com-
plete in August and construction to
begin in August or September. All sys-
tems are expected to be operating by the
fall of 1992.
Approximately 700,000 cubic yards of
dirt will be moved this summer -
enough to bury a football field 500 feet
deep - to make room for additional
treatment tanks and other improvements.
When work is complete, the plant's
treatment capacity will increase from 24
to 34 million gallons per day.
The expansion and upgrade is necessary
to meet growing demands for develop-
ment in Eagan, Burnsville and
Bloomington, and to comply with ever
more strict water and air quality stand-
ards.
Approximately 7110,1100 cubic yards of dirt will be moved this summer.
"The expansion and upgrade include a
number of odor control measures,"
Warner said. "We'll now be covering
and containing odor in the headworks
area where the wastewater enters the
plant, covering the primary clarifiers,
and then collecting and treating the
odorous ventilation air from all these
areas."
The new odor control system includes a
wet scrubber followed by two carbon ab-
sorption units housed in a separate build-
ing that is part of the expansion.
Two other significant aspects of the ex-
pansion include adding a dechlorina-
Odor committee shares concerns
Su months after it began, a unique
committee comprised of staff mem-
bers from the Metropolitan Waste Con-
trol Commission, the City of Eagan and
Eagan residents is well underway in a
combined effort to improve communica-
tion and resolve concerns surrounding
the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The Seneca Odor Control Advisory
Committee - aptly named after one of
the group's goals - resulted from an
agreement between the MWCC and the
City of Fagan to allow local input on
matters of public concern.

lion unit and "super saturating" the
treated wastewater with oxygen. The de-
chlorination unit will neutralize residual
chlorine added to the wastewater to kill
bacteria. "Super saturating" the treated
wastewater with oxygen will reduce the
treated wastewater's impact on the
river, reducing its demand for oxygen
from the untreated river water.
More odor control measures are planned
as part of the concurrent solids handling
improvement project. This project also
includes the installation of afterburners
and wet scrubbers to treat incinerator
exhaust.
The incinerator improvements were
among the recommendations of a con-
sultant hired by the MWCC to study
oda control. The consultant, Malcolm
Pirnie, Inc., said the afterburners would
further reduce emission odor and that
wet scrubbers would further reduce ex -
hast particles. As a long range goal, the
MWCC is planning to reduce Seneca
sludge incineration by more than 50 per-
cent by developing market for lard ap-
plication of sludge.
Advisory committee shares concerns
Continued from front
Group members estab-
lished four principle
goals during initial
meetings last winter
and spring:
• to provide for infor-
mation exchange
and open discussion;
• to provide a forum
for preview, review
and updates of con-
struction progress
and status;
• to review odor com-
plaints; and
Committee members Include Eagan residents and
representatives of the MWCC and City of Eagan.
• to resolve potential conflicts and dif-
ficulties by more effective com-
munication.
Bob Polta, MWCC air quality manager
and the agency's designated contact on
the committee, said, "We've had some
wide-ranging discussions, but the com-
mittee has certainly provided a forum
for residents to raise their concerns and
allowed us to actively respond."
Other members of the committee in-
clude two residents from Eagan's
Wuthering Heights neighborhood, one
Eagan resident at -large and one repre-
sentative from the City of Eagan.
Two committee positions that were of-
fered to the Silver Be0/Cedarvale busi-
ness community have not yet been filled.
The MWCC has also been represented
by additional support staff from en-
gineering, construction, odor control,
community relations and from the plant
itself. Several officials from the City of
Eagan have also attended at times.
Karla Eggink, MWCC staff engineer
and odor control specialist, pointed out
that the MWCC is investing $4.5 mil-
lion on odor control equipment in the
current expansion and improvement
Project.
"People are comfortable bringing their
concerns forward We may not always
have a quick answer, but we're com-
mitted to finding answers and reporting
them back at a later meeting," she said.
Call the Odor Response Line
The Odor Response Line drew one
dozen calls in its fust three
months of existence. Community Rela-
tions Officer Pauline Langsdorf en-
courages residents to ,use the service.
"All the complaints are reviewed,"
she said. "We need to know where
and when the odor is noticed to deter-
mine the source. We chart the calls on
a cumulative map and study them to
see whether adjustments are necessary
in the system. We want people to
know we're taking steps to improve

Well test
results dile
back soon
Results are due in late July from a
second set of well tests initiated by
the Metropolitan Waste Control Com-
mission to determine the quality of
water in residential wells bordering the
Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant
Residents had requested that their wells
be tested before construction began to
establish a baseline for monitoring the
effects of the plant expansion.
The second test was also requested by
area residents after a small but detec-
table amount of organic material was
found in some wells during initial test-
ing last spring.
"'Ihe second test is being conducted to
verify the initial results; said Rebecca
Flood, MWCC regulatory compliance
manager.
"It's a goodwill gesture, really, in the
ongoing effort to be a responsible neigh-
bor. When the second test results are in
more information will be available to
the Dakota County Environmental
Health staff to determine the source of
the organics," Flood said.
Water samples were drawn June 28
from nine wells near the treatment
plant. A second laboratory, PACE
Laboratories, is conducting and analyz-
ing the tests using the same method ap-
plied in the fust sample.
Al the residents' request, results from
the test will be mailed directly from
PACE Laboratories to interested'
homeowners, the City of Eagan and the
Dakota County Department of Health as
well as to the MWCC.
In a related matter, Flood said the
MWCC has installed two sets of obser-
vation wells near the Minnesota River
to monitor the effect of the plant expan-
sion on the groundwater level at Nicols
Meadow Fen.
'The wells are set at depths of 20 feet
and 70 feet Data will be studied to as-
sure preservation of the fen, a protected
wedand.

Dear Mayor and members of the City Council,
My name is Audrey Luhrs. I am co -publisher and
director of advertising for Business Ink magazine. Margaret
Peck is co -publisher and editor.
In September, we plan to feature Eagan and have a
beautiful, four color cover of "The Waters" development
center. It is our intention to have coverage of some new
and some long established members of your business
community, including Signal Bank's new location, Drover's
Bank, Cliff Lake Center and others.
In the past we have featured the cities of Burnsville,
Apple Valley, South St. Paul, West St. Paul and Hastings.
We made a proposal at the council meeting and in each case,
the councils approved purchase of a full page advertisement
for the city to lead off the special section.
I ask that you consider and approve the same for Eagan
by voting to place on full page ad in black and white at a
cost of S550.00. If you wish to addcolor, add S150.00.
Thank you for your consideration. I will bring samples
to the meeting if you wish to see them.

MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HOHENSTEIN
DATE: JULY 31, 1989
SUBJECT: DAKOTA COUNTY YARD WASTE BAN
This memo shall serve as an update on Dakota County waste abatement issues,
specifically the yard waste ban which takes affect on August 1. Fortunately this
sounds more ominous than it is. Homeowners should still be able to dispose of
their yard wastes through their respective haulers, but it must be set out
separately from the regular waste just as recyclables currently are.
BACKGROUND
State legislation will ban yardwaste from landfills beginning January 1, 1990.
As much as 208 of the waste stream is yardwaste and compostible material so a
ban has a substantial waste abatement -impact. In an effort to achieve higher
abatement volumes in 1989, Dakota County moved the effective date up to August
1, 1989. This will divert much of the fall leaves from landfill disposal.
The basic requirements of the County ordinance make it illegal for landfills to
accept yardwaste or mixed municipal solid waste which includes yardwaste. My
reading of the ordinance is that it also makes it illegal for a hauler knowingly
to mix ordinary waste and'yardwaste in the same load. It is further illegal for
those disposing of wastes to mix ordinary waste and yardwaste. I believe that
all of these actions are misdemeanors.
Obviously it will be difficult to enforce any of these provisions except at the
landfill gate. Therefore, it will be necessary for the haulers to attempt to
communicate with their customers and use means to encourage them to comply. The
City can and will support this communication with information pieces of our own,
DISCUSSION
Staff has discussed this ordinance with various haulers and all have indicated
that they intend to continue to accept yardwaste. To comply with the ordinance,
however„ it will be necessary for them to collect such material on a separate
route.. This may imply additional cost to the consumer.. As a consequence, I
believe we will see an increase in the activity at our City compost site and
increased interest in backyard composting.
As you may recall, we rather quietly removed the City's previous prohibition of
backyard composting when the solid waste ordinance was amended last year. Staff
has not strongly encouraged such activity to date, but we have provided
information to those requesting it on appropriate composting techniques if they
choose to do it.
The issue we are facing is the potential for substantially higher waste disposal
costs as tipping fees increase and as state mandates require a segmentation of
the waste stream. Until the industry innovates to provide for a variety of
materials on a single vehicle, additional materials will require additional trips
down each haulers routes. Even if a combined vehicle were developed, the
location of disposal and recycling facilities throughout the county may make it
cost effective for haulers to continue to use individual units for each type of
material.
c25"3
The operational change for customers is minimal. Yardwastes must be kept
separate from other waste, but they will still be collected. If the cost of
hauler disposal is perceived to be too high, however, more may choose to drop
off materials at the compost site. While staff is attempting to make provision
for this additional use, including identifying possible alternative sites for
additional capacity, the Council may get calls about this matter because it
entails change.
CONCLUSION
The County yardwaste ban will not eliminate yardwaste disposal service for
residents. As long as people are willing to pay for separate disposal, someone
will provide it. The additional cost associated with it will encourage some
people to not bag their clippings or to use backyard or centralized composting
alternatives. If you have any questions in this regard, please let me know.
