In regard to Item C., Resolution approving special legislation authorizing additional on -sale
intoxicating liquor licenses. Councilmember Blomquist stated that she is voting against this because she
is not in favor of the increase.
In regard to Item D., Contract 98-22, receive bids/award contract, lubilation Addition (Utilities),
Director of Public Works Colbert stated that this is not an assessable project because it benefits Inver
Grove Heights and is covered under tF9*:tt:rms of the Joint Powers Agreement. He stated that Inver
Grove Heights has requested a contind&i& on this for 2 weeks due to the increased cost.
In regard to Item E., Contrailf7}{icaiviFasl #ward contract, Country Home Heights
Streets Councilmember Blomquist staie& Uai - - fs'vbtf}i'g against this project due to the initial cost of
the project to the City. Mayor Egan cdpi ented that this is a significant increase in cost and a
substantial change in the scope of the px. ject. Director of Public Works Colbert commented on the
higher unit costs due to the timeline and stated that after review, the department had realized those
costs weren't unreasonable. He stated six reasons for higher costs on this project; first, the increased
estimate of how much sod was needed; second, the cost of traffic control; third, the excessive amount of
common excavation which will be minimized by revised plans; fourth, the cost to investigate and verify
the elevation of the existing watermaiJy:fifth the required manhole adjustment and sixth, the drainage
patterns which will be modified. Dir6 t it of PulMC Works Colbert stated that it would be unlikely to
see better bids by re -bidding the projetfi but tha(t modifications should bring the costs down. Mayor
Egan commented on the disparity bet*vgen the I riWeer's estimate and the low bid, stating that this
seemed to be an evolving pattern. Director.of:P�1?lie WgrJs. Colbert responded that the feasibility report
estimates are done without field surv4;4ii3 f)S3f:Qf g:d(tafl.Qkl pI ns revealed more needs than were

for what length beyond the intersection. Director of Public Works Colbert stated that the tracks would

City Administrator Hedges ............
. erYJjVw'-*0'* R-1his item. Director of Public Works
Colbert gave a staff report. He comme'"on th ':':::'- s of this situation because the contract had
".T.vquenes
not yet been awarded, nor had the impfo vement &ee'n installed, both of which typically occur before a
fined assessment hearing takes place. W:itated thif:ihe final project had an assessed value of $22,000
per lot equivalent per City Assessment_;Ftititq. :.�u[ O;iat .►}.appraisal benefit cap on assessments was
:sb- A-
$14,5500 per lot equivalent. He further Properties were eligible for subdivision
and would consequently be charged for the extra lot equivalent as well. He indicated that several of the
residents considered the assessment appraisal by the appraiser excessive.
Councilmember Masin stated that she would feel more comfortable if the neighbors agree to the
project and their assessments before proceq4t. ect. Councilmember Wachter commented
A :PToj
that all residents in Eagan have to pay that benefit their property and stated that

Mayor Egan summarized his uiik&r
.s,Ondu%&.ofkgj*ry oon this project, emphasizing the
. . ..... ... .
unique circumstance of this situation . of service for the neighborhood for the
Minutes of the Regular City C :it Meeting, August 4, 1998 page 5
last 20 years. He expressed empathy with the residents and lamented the confusing nature of the
r
information provided about this project to this point. He further stated that the $1750 connection fee
was not included in the final assessment roll and that the fee would have to be paid at the time of
connection to the water and sewer systems. He asked the residents to consider the costs of maintaining
their own septic systems and wells as they determine their interest in this project. Mayor Egan stated
that the Council needs to be consistent in -their policies, but that it was crucial that the treatment of this
neighborhood be fundamentally fair. He;O$o stated that the City should rightly absorb some of the cost
of this project because some componentv'df the project could have been avoided if the City had been
more visionary in their planning at the tiEye of Cgngtrl+ctior♦.yp;t2te adjacent neighborhood. He proposed
a modified assessment for the properties:at:.VI WI J YJq...... lent plus the $1750 connection fee at the
time of connection.
Councilmember Blomquist asked: -kr clarification about assessing the potential double -lots.
Mayor Egan stated that those lot equivalents would be assessed as well. Councilmember Blomquist
suggested an option for the residents to defer the assessment on undeveloped lots until the owner
develops the property. Mayor Egan agreed. Councilmember Awada stated that Mayor Egan's offer
was very generous. Councilmember Wachter commented that it was an offer not to be passed up.
Mayor Egan said that his proposed assei s ent was comparable to the Country Home Heights area that
was similar to Oak Pond Hills.
Mayor Egan opened the public iieiirirtg to eiSyone wishing to speak. Mr. Mike Armada
addressed the Council, stating how unn sa.. Jhe:unpcgygnuants would be because of the negligible
...
difference between maintaining private t¢sle fjs aii .l.' -g:"sp.gtent for the public improvement. He
expressed concern about the potential damage to the iteighborliood's trees. Mr. Armada stated that the
neighborhood had offered $6,000 as what they considered acceptable and that he had no more interest in
seeking consensus on the project. Mayor Egan asked him if the neighborhood wanted the city to
proceed with the project. Mr. Armada said that it would he unnecessary for 10-15 years. A resident
from the audience asked if they could have a brief recess to discuss Mayor Egan's offer. Mayor Egan
called a five minute recess.
The council recessed at 7:35.
Mayor Egan reconvened the Couneila;k:7c91.,and lhvited Mr. Armada to relay the results of the
neighborhood's decision. Mr. Armada said `tAey vria3tl;:cePt. Mayor Egan reconfirmed that
assessment on undeveloped lot equivalents would be'deferteditntil development and the connection
fees would be deferred until hook-up.
Councilmember Blomquist stated that she empathized with the residents' concerns about tree
loss. Councilmember Wachter said a figure between the $7,000 and 514,500 would seem more
reasonable to him. Mayor Egan stated that the deferred assessments on the undeveloped properties
would come due at the time of developmgpt :including a;Vtmoctive interest rate of 6.5%. Director of
Public Works Colbert asked if the propetiei:>Zi:Cliff Road who would not benefit from
the street improvements would be assessc(i et the
Mine 'rate as the other properties. Mayor Egan said
that he considered $7,000 a generous offer'considei3iig the properties would have been assessed $10,000
previously. Councilmember Blomquisl:44monishRdAhe arbitrariness of the process, and stated that the
Cliff Road property owners should alsd:Iiave;th ,ii�4!imentp discounted. Councilmember Wachter
stated that the project should go in becaget:us_ntloeiiaxt,Yjpv:long the private systems will last; this
improvement would make the neighborhood less vuln'erable:" He expressed concern about the kind of
precedent being set by this decision. Councilmember Awada staled that the properties that aren't
benefiting from the street improvements shouldn't be assessed the same amount as those who will
benefit. Mayor Egan offered a compromised assessment to the Cliff Road properties in the amount of
$6,000 per lot equivalent, subject to thesame cArtdib.ous.as the other properties. A Cliff Road property
owner in the audience consented to the arrirtipeiiienf

Public Works Colbert stated that the storm sewer system would need to be connected to the property
line for overflow, commenting that all new proposed developments must accommodate drainage from
adjacent properties. Mr. Griswold contended that the Engineering Standards Manual states that the first
property owner is responsible for providing drainage by pipe to a proper location, thereby absolving
Pul[e's responsibility. Mayor Egan asked ifit:>va6:�f(q.i Ila to pond on the site and Director of Public
Works Colbert responded that the compopitditt :0 't %,rty made that impossible in this case. Mr.
Griswold stated that he wanted to work. -- the City, b k'`b sidered the drainage obligation the City's
responsibility. Mr. Griswold infornied:llie Council that the-.. ening Commission recommended under
provision 24 that only a trail connectior,be made to Cashell.Glen and that the third phase for connection
to the school would be the developer's.ti tference. He glso,*Wed that they would use 5 foot sidewalks

at that level. He stated that his understanding of the requirements for the turn lanes required them only
t at neighborhood collector intersections. Mayor Egan asked for the staffs position on this matter.
Director of Public Works Colbert stated that it is a County requirement for their permit for connection to
a County road and confirmed that the financial responsibility for the tum lanes would rest with the
developer, regardless of City action. He further stated that their only other option would be to petition
the City for a public improvement t9 pstall the tum lanes, in which case, the benefiting properties
would be assessed for the cost of &:Iiitprovement.
Councilmember Blomquist:.t@i q ti'eiitted.thgi+kif only the trail connection in the Cashel] Glen
neighborhood, but asked that the eiit+2jt i.I. tint?liit'iN tled tCashell Glen. Councilmember Awada
concurred. Director of Public Works..Colbert expressed the importance of connecting the streets for ease
of through traffic for the schools, b'iit!?mphasized that the connection would not promote external
through traffic.
Mr. Ryan Johnson, 4123 Cashel] Glen, addressed the Council and informed the Council that the
Planning Commission had voted three times not to extend the road. He cited a neighborhood petition
with 100 signatures against extending the cul-de-sac. He further stated that there were no fire or public
safety reasons for connecting this ikfaA. Mr. Johnson also staled that the connection would require the
developer to rip out the current ct6:imd guj * and redo the work that has already been done; he
further stated that the developeris Posed i6 xhe extension as well.
Mr. Dave Moran, 4127 Cagh*. 43lon;:Rddre d,ihe Council and supported the comments made

is not in favor of the increase.
In regard to Item D., Contract 98-22, receive bids/award contract, lubilation Addition (Utilities),

In regard to Item E., Contrailf7}{icaiviFasl #ward contract, Country Home Heights
Streets Councilmember Blomquist staie& Uai - - fs'vbtf}i'g against this project due to the initial cost of

substantial change in the scope of the px. ject. Director of Public Works Colbert commented on the
higher unit costs due to the timeline and stated that after review, the department had realized those
costs weren't unreasonable. He stated six reasons for higher costs on this project; first, the increased
estimate of how much sod was needed; second, the cost of traffic control; third, the excessive amount of
common excavation which will be minimized by revised plans; fourth, the cost to investigate and verify
the elevation of the existing watermaiJy:fifth the required manhole adjustment and sixth, the drainage
patterns which will be modified. Dir6 t it of PulMC Works Colbert stated that it would be unlikely to
see better bids by re -bidding the projetfi but tha(t modifications should bring the costs down. Mayor
Egan commented on the disparity bet*vgen the I riWeer's estimate and the low bid, stating that this
seemed to be an evolving pattern. Director.of:P�1?lie WgrJs. Colbert responded that the feasibility report

last 20 years. He expressed empathy with the residents and lamented the confusing nature of the
r
information provided about this project to this point. He further stated that the $1750 connection fee
was not included in the final assessment roll and that the fee would have to be paid at the time of
connection to the water and sewer systems. He asked the residents to consider the costs of maintaining
their own septic systems and wells as they determine their interest in this project. Mayor Egan stated
that the Council needs to be consistent in -their policies, but that it was crucial that the treatment of this
neighborhood be fundamentally fair. He;O$o stated that the City should rightly absorb some of the cost
of this project because some componentv'df the project could have been avoided if the City had been
more visionary in their planning at the tiEye of Cgngtrl+ctior♦.yp;t2te adjacent neighborhood. He proposed
a modified assessment for the properties:at:.VI WI J YJq...... lent plus the $1750 connection fee at the
time of connection.
Councilmember Blomquist asked: -kr clarification about assessing the potential double -lots.
Mayor Egan stated that those lot equivalents would be assessed as well. Councilmember Blomquist
suggested an option for the residents to defer the assessment on undeveloped lots until the owner
develops the property. Mayor Egan agreed. Councilmember Awada stated that Mayor Egan's offer
was very generous. Councilmember Wachter commented that it was an offer not to be passed up.
Mayor Egan said that his proposed assei s ent was comparable to the Country Home Heights area that
was similar to Oak Pond Hills.
Mayor Egan opened the public iieiirirtg to eiSyone wishing to speak. Mr. Mike Armada
addressed the Council, stating how unn sa.. Jhe:unpcgygnuants would be because of the negligible
...
difference between maintaining private t¢sle fjs aii .l.' -g:"sp.gtent for the public improvement. He
expressed concern about the potential damage to the iteighborliood's trees. Mr. Armada stated that the
neighborhood had offered $6,000 as what they considered acceptable and that he had no more interest in
seeking consensus on the project. Mayor Egan asked him if the neighborhood wanted the city to
proceed with the project. Mr. Armada said that it would he unnecessary for 10-15 years. A resident
from the audience asked if they could have a brief recess to discuss Mayor Egan's offer. Mayor Egan
called a five minute recess.
The council recessed at 7:35.
Mayor Egan reconvened the Couneila;k:7c91.,and lhvited Mr. Armada to relay the results of the
neighborhood's decision. Mr. Armada said `tAey vria3tl;:cePt. Mayor Egan reconfirmed that
assessment on undeveloped lot equivalents would be'deferteditntil development and the connection
fees would be deferred until hook-up.
Councilmember Blomquist stated that she empathized with the residents' concerns about tree
loss. Councilmember Wachter said a figure between the $7,000 and 514,500 would seem more
reasonable to him. Mayor Egan stated that the deferred assessments on the undeveloped properties
would come due at the time of developmgpt :including a;Vtmoctive interest rate of 6.5%. Director of
Public Works Colbert asked if the propetiei:>Zi:Cliff Road who would not benefit from
the street improvements would be assessc(i et the
Mine 'rate as the other properties. Mayor Egan said
that he considered $7,000 a generous offer'considei3iig the properties would have been assessed $10,000
previously. Councilmember Blomquisl:44monishRdAhe arbitrariness of the process, and stated that the
Cliff Road property owners should alsd:Iiave;th ,ii�4!imentp discounted. Councilmember Wachter
stated that the project should go in becaget:us_ntloeiiaxt,Yjpv:long the private systems will last; this
improvement would make the neighborhood less vuln'erable:" He expressed concern about the kind of
precedent being set by this decision. Councilmember Awada staled that the properties that aren't
benefiting from the street improvements shouldn't be assessed the same amount as those who will
benefit. Mayor Egan offered a compromised assessment to the Cliff Road properties in the amount of
$6,000 per lot equivalent, subject to thesame cArtdib.ous.as the other properties. A Cliff Road property

Public Works Colbert stated that the storm sewer system would need to be connected to the property
line for overflow, commenting that all new proposed developments must accommodate drainage from
adjacent properties. Mr. Griswold contended that the Engineering Standards Manual states that the first
property owner is responsible for providing drainage by pipe to a proper location, thereby absolving
Pul[e's responsibility. Mayor Egan asked ifit:>va6:�f(q.i Ila to pond on the site and Director of Public
Works Colbert responded that the compopitditt :0 't %,rty made that impossible in this case. Mr.
Griswold stated that he wanted to work. -- the City, b k'`b sidered the drainage obligation the City's
responsibility. Mr. Griswold infornied:llie Council that the-.. ening Commission recommended under
provision 24 that only a trail connectior,be made to Cashell.Glen and that the third phase for connection
to the school would be the developer's.ti tference. He glso,*Wed that they would use 5 foot sidewalks

at that level. He stated that his understanding of the requirements for the turn lanes required them only
t at neighborhood collector intersections. Mayor Egan asked for the staffs position on this matter.
Director of Public Works Colbert stated that it is a County requirement for their permit for connection to
a County road and confirmed that the financial responsibility for the tum lanes would rest with the
developer, regardless of City action. He further stated that their only other option would be to petition
the City for a public improvement t9 pstall the tum lanes, in which case, the benefiting properties
would be assessed for the cost of &:Iiitprovement.
Councilmember Blomquist:.t@i q ti'eiitted.thgi+kif only the trail connection in the Cashel] Glen

concurred. Director of Public Works..Colbert expressed the importance of connecting the streets for ease
of through traffic for the schools, b'iit!?mphasized that the connection would not promote external
through traffic.
Mr. Ryan Johnson, 4123 Cashel] Glen, addressed the Council and informed the Council that the
Planning Commission had voted three times not to extend the road. He cited a neighborhood petition
with 100 signatures against extending the cul-de-sac. He further stated that there were no fire or public
safety reasons for connecting this ikfaA. Mr. Johnson also staled that the connection would require the
developer to rip out the current ct6:imd guj * and redo the work that has already been done; he
further stated that the developeris Posed i6 xhe extension as well.
Mr. Dave Moran, 4127 Cagh*. 43lon;:Rddre d,ihe Council and supported the comments made
