City Clerk Agenda Information Memo July 6, 2006 Eagan City Council Meeting G. BAFFIN TRAIL - STREET NAME CHANGE ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve Street Name Change of Baffin Trail/Delaware Trail to Argenta Trail. FACTS: • Baffin Trail (formerly County Road 63) connects State Trunk Highway (TH) 149, at the intersection of Wescott Road, to Opperman Drive along our corporate border with Inver Grove Heights. It then becomes Argenta Trail as the roadway continues north through Inver Grove Heights and then changes to Delaware Trail at the Sunfish Lake/Mendota Heights border. Only the west half of the roadway lies within the City of Eagan as it runs along the common border with Inver Grove Heights between Wescott Road and Opperman Drive. • In April 2005, Dakota County officially vacated and turned backthe jurisdictional ownerslup and related maintenance responsibility for that portion of County Road 63 from TH 149 to the newly extended Yankee Doodle Road (CSAR 28) through the cities of Eagan and Inver Grove Heights. • On April 5, 2005, the City Council approved the upgrade of TH 149 to a 4 -lane divided roadway, reducing the existing full accesses to 6gW-iijrn-gW-o-ut m number of local businesses. The businesses located along TH 149 between Opperman Dr & Wescott Rd will want to direct deliveries via Opperman Drive and Baffin Trail, to accommodate full directional movement of goods and supplies. • The multiple street name designation for existing and former sections of Co. Rd. 63 (Baffin ---------Trail,—Argenta--`!'rail & Delaware Trail) -do -not -provide for -clear -directions for -alter -nate-- routing access. Business representatives also voiced concern over the confusion of the Baffin Trail street name for such, a short.segment of what appears to be a continuation of Argenta Trail. • City staff also discovered the sole Eagan resident on Baffin Trail (at the intersection of Opperman Dr) had chosen a street address of Delaware Trail, even though Delaware Trail does not officially exist in Eagan or Inver Grove Heights and doesn't show up on either city's map. This parcel was the only property in Eagan or Inver Grove Heights that had a Delaware Trail address. • Both Eagan and Inver Grove Heights city staff have communicated the proposed street name change (Baffin Trail to Argenta Trail) to affected property owners along this road segment and received no objections. • On June 26, 2006, the Inver Grove Heights City Council approved the name change of the segment of roadway between TH 149/Wescott Road and Opperman Drive from Baffin Trail to Argenta Trail. • Public Works staff has reviewed the proposed street name change and finds it appropriate for similar Council action. • Upon approval, staff will contact the Eagan Post Office to confirm that they will, as in the past, allow a dual name designation for a one-year transition for mail delivery.

Certainly it is important to emergency ve c e delivery vehicles, and visitors to residents in the neighborhood that it be as easy as possible to locate addresses in the neighborhood.

Instead, we propose that Eagan follow the lead of the City of inver Grove the name of Argenta Trail along the street now known as Delaware Trail through to Highway 149. This would provide continuity for the entire stretch of roadway between major crossroads.

RECEIVED MAR 2 0 2006 31 June 29, 2006 City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122-1810 To Whom It May Concern: I would like to request an extension for final plat approval of Kennerick Third Addition. The City of Eagan and Dakota County have approved the plat changes. I am seeking a partial release or a consent to plat from CitiMortgage regarding the lot lines affecting Lot One, Block Two and Outlot C of Kennerick Second Addition. CitiMortgage had approved the partial release until the appraisal came in with an inappropriately low value, especially in relation to one I had done just last summer. I will need another set of appraisals done before final approval. I am seeking a 90 day extension as the process seems to be quite slow. I am continuing to work with CityMortgage to resolve these issues. Sincerely, Gail McMahon 1429 Lone Oak Road Eagan, MN 55121-1113 651-454-5604 RECEIVED JUN 2 9 2006 Agenda Memo July 6, 2006 Eagan City Council Meeting L: APPROVE SALE OF REMNANT CITY PROPERTY — PARCEL 10-03600-020-82 — TO REVESTORS, INC. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Continue indefinitely consideration of the sale of remnant City property (Parcel 10-03600-020-82) to Revestors, Inc. to allow for further negotiations. FACTS 1995, the City acquired property. (Parcel 10-03600-020-82) that was severed from the remainder of the property to the north by the Red Pine Lane right-of-way. • The property is approximately 30,500 sq. ft. (0.7 ac) and of a configuration that makes it difficult to be developed on its own. • Revestors, fnc. has reeeived preliminary subdivision and plumed development appr-eval on property ("Red Pine Crossing") adjacent to this remnant property. • Revestors, Inc. desires to purchase the property from the City and incorporate it into the Red Pine Crossing development to help meet density and setback requirements. • Given the unsuitability of stand-alone development of the property, it would be in the unlikely, that these negotiations will be completed by July 6, necessitating this continuance and further negotiation discussions by the Council in a closed session.

The amendment proposes to reguide 4.34 acres from Quasi-Public/Institutional (QP), to Low Density Residential (LDR). The amendment site is located west of I -35E and south of Deerwood Drive. The site's two existing homes will be replaced with the proposed 28 twin homes. The Metropolitan Council has identified certain types of local comprehensive plan amendments that may be reviewed by Council staff without further formal review by the governing body of the Council. These criteria include conformance with regional systems, consistency with Council policies, and a commitment by the community to address previous comprehensive plan review issues raised by the Metropolitan Council. Council staff finds that the amendment meets the Council's plan review waiver criteria and is in conformance with metropolitan system plans, consistent with the 2030 Regional Development Framework, and has no impact on the plans of other units of local government. Therefore, the City may place this amendment into effect immediately. The amendment, explanatory materials and the information submission form will be appended to the City's Plan in the Council's files.

EAGAN WOODS OFFICE ADDITION RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve the vacation of a portion of public right-of- way (Eagan Woods Drive) within Outlot A, Eagan Woods Office Park Addition and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. FACTS: • On May 22, 2006, City staff received a petition from James F. Morrison, Attorney representing Eagan Woods I, LLC, requesting the vacation of a portion of existing right-of-way (Eagan Woods Drive) within Eagan Woods Office Park Addition, northwest of the intersection of Pilot Knob Road and Buffet Way. • On June 6, the City Council scheduled a public hearing , to be held on July 6 to consider the petition to vacate a portion of said right-of-way. • The public right-of-way was dedicated as part of the Eagan Woods Office Park Addition plat for the future construction of public street to serve the area, now largely developed as office uses. The public streets serving the area have been constructed in areas outside this public right-of-way. _____ • On December 15, 1998, a similar right -_of_ -w_ay vacation was approved by the City Council on the property to the south, Lot 1, Block 1, Corporate Woods, in anticipation of development. • The purpose of the request is to allow the property owner to incorporate the excess right-of-way, if approved by the Council, into future development of the property. • Notices for the public hearing were published in the legal newspaper and sent to all potentially affected and/or interested parties for comment prior to the scheduled public hearing. Notices were sent to all the potentially impacted private ' utility companies. No objections to the proposed vacation have been received as of the date of this report. • The request has been reviewed by the Engineering Division and found to be in order for favorable Council action.

REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: Majority of Council Members present FACTS: ➢ The subject lot has been developed with a 2,073 square foot single family house with an 800 square foot attached garage. The lot is 13,359 square feet; the existing building coverage is 21.5 percent (no variance on file). ➢ The property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential; R-1 standards limit lot coverage to 20 percent. ➢ The applicant designed the house with a doorway out to a future 3-4 season porch in the future and understood this was possible on this lot. ➢ The porch addition is on the back of the house, which would not be visible from the front and mature trees screen the addition from adjacent properties. 60 DAY AGENCY ACTION DEADLINE ➢ Deadline is August 16, 2006 ATTACHMENTS (2): Planning Staff Report pageslthrough5Q Color photos without page number 4 2 PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: July 26, 2006 .APPLICANT: Arthur and Charlotte Lunow PROPERTY OWNER: Same REQUEST: Variance LOCATION: 1746 Galaxie Ct CASE: 32 -VA -12-06-06 HEARING DATE: July 6, 2006 APPLICATION DATE: June 14, 2006 PREPARED BY: Sheila Cartney COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: LD, Low Density Residential ZONING: R-1, Single Family Residential SUMMARY OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a Variance to exceed the 20 percent building coverage for Aporch addition by_2.7 percent, for property__located at 1746 Galaxie Court in the NE 1/4 of Section 32. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11. 50, Subdivision 3, B., 3, states that the Council'may approve, approve with conditions or deny a request for a variance. In considering all requests for a variance, City Council shall consider the following factors: a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity, and result from lot size or shape, topography, or other circumstances over which the owners of property have no control. b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Code would deprive the applicant property use commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the provisions of this Code. c. That special conditions or circumstances do not result from actions of the applicant. d. That granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. yL3 e. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this Code or to property in the same zone. CODE REQUIREMENTS Section 11.60 subdivision 5E bulk standards in the R-1 district, limits building coverage to 20 percent maximum. BACKGROUNDMISTORY The subject property was platted in 1994 as Lot 3, Block 1, Galaxie Hill Oaks. EXISTING CONDITIONS The lot has been developed with a 2,073 square foot single family house with an 800 square foot attached garage. The lot is 13,359 square feet; the existing building coverage is 21.5 percent. APPLICANT'S ESTIMATE OF HARDSHIP --- -The applicant-dssigned their house iri1998-fo incline a space for a fixture 3=4 season porch. ------ According to the narrative, the applicant was led to believe the future 3-4 season porch would work in the proposed location with no issues, had they known at the time they would have reduced the garage size in preparation of the porch addition. The applicant indicates the back of the house looks unfinished and the proposed addition would complete the house. The addition will not impede on anyone as there are mature trees surrounding the backyard. EVALUATION OF REQUEST The subject lot is 13,359 square feet the existing house and garage are 2,873 square feet in area, resulting in a 21.5 percent coverage area. The proposed addition is 163 square feet resulting in a 22.7 percent coverage area. The existing house and garage exceed building coverage limitations by 1.5 percent and the proposed porch would increase the coverage to 22.7 percent. It is unclear why building coverage limitations were not discussed with the applicant in the past, but the house and proposed addition exceed limitations. The rear of the house is screened by mature trees; the proposed addition most likely would not be visible from off the property. The area the applicant describes as "unfinished" is the logical location for an addition. In that a doorway to the outside exists. The proposed addition will match the existing home design and finish. 44 The zoning code defines hardship as a situation where property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the conditions allowed by the official controls where the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to this property, not created by the landowner. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute a hardship if a reasonable use for the property exists under terms of the official controls. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The subject site is the retirement home for the applicant and was designed to allow a future 3-4 season porch at the rear of the house. The applicant planned to finish the house in phases with the porch being the last phase. The applicant has been unaware of the building coverage limitations until the most recent inquiry. The applicant's house and garage already exceed building coverage by 1.5 percent (without any variances). The addition is not visible from the street and will have limited visibility from adjacent properties. City Policy Makers will need to determine if an adequate hardship has been presented and that the factors for considering a variance are applicable. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To approve a 2.7 percent Variance to the 20 percent building coverage requirement for a 163 square foot porch addition for property located at 1746 Galaxie Court in the NE'/a of Section 32. --- - --- If approved the following conditions apply: _-__------ -----.--- -------- 1. ----- 1. If within one year after approval, the variance shall not have been completed or utilized, it shall become null and void unless a petition for extension has-been granted by the council. Such extension shall be requested in writing at least 30 days before expiration and shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or utilize the use permitted in the variance. 2. Total building coverage shall not exceed 22.7 percent. 45 TO: Mayor Geagan, Peggy Carlson, Cyndee Fields, Mike McGuire, Meg Tilley FROM: Art and Char Lunow, 1746 Galaxie Court, Eagan, Minnesota 55122, 651-994-8940 REGARDING: Our request for a hard surface variance to build a screen porch on our home in the empty space where it was planned and designed to be built seven years ago. We hope to begin construction in July 2006, simultaneously with completing our lower level, finishing in October 2006. We request your approval of this variance based upon the following facts, needs, reasons, hardships, and considerations: --When we planned our retirement home 10 years ago, it included what we had long wanted but never had: a seasonal porch (and deck). --When we built our home from 10-98 to 3-99, financially unable to complete everything, we left the lower level unfinished, along with the clearly defined empty space between the kitchen and dinette (at the back corner of the house) where the porch and deck were carefully planned and designed to be built. Our builder assured us that this could be done at any time in the future. --On 6/3/06 our builder, John Symington, told us: "The city of Eagan was very careful and thorough to be sure everything was done right before your home was approved. All the surveys were done, and approval was obtained from the Park Board, Building and Forestry departments, and the Planning Checker Worker. We had plenty of space on the lot, and `hard surface' was never an issue on your house or any of the other houses I built in Eagan." --In the summer of 2004, as we began interviewing contractors to finish our lower level, porch; and deck, several of our potential builders and I contacted Eagan's departments of Building Inspection and Engineering to find out the requirements for a 3 or 4 season or screen porch, ancf deck. After some initial uncertainty they told us there was a setback requirement of 15 feet for the porch and 5 feet for the deck. Several times I asked if there were any other requirements we should know about, and the answer was "No." At no time; in response to my several inquiries and those of our potential builders, were "hard surface" limitations ever mentioned. --The first time any of us heard there was a "hard surface" issue regarding our home was in the fall of 2005 when Eagan City Engineer Mike Lence, helping us with some other building related questions, totally surprised us with the news that we would need a variance to be able to build our porch because our home was slightly over the 20% allowed. Why were neither the builder nor we informed of this before the house was approved and built in 1999? Mike did not know. --After 7 years of waiting to finish our home and finally being able to do it, it has been extremely difficult because: 1) We and our builder did everything required of us, 2) Our home was approved by the city 7 years ago, 3) We had an obvious and specifically designed plan for where the porch and deck would be built later, 4) We knew nothing about a "hard surface" issue until last fall, six years late. 5) Our carefully made plans for a porch and deck are now in jeopardy and dependent on a -variance, because of something we did not know, 6) Had we or the builder known, or been informed prior to the approval and building of our home in 1999, that we were slightly over the 20% allowed, we would have gladly reduced the size of the garage and storage area so we could now build our porch and deck without the extra work and variance cost of almost $1,000. Unfortunately, we were not given that opportunity. ftE nemen 9002 I Z N(lf GIAI3338 RECEIVED JUN 2 71006 �� 2. --It has been difficult to look at the unattractive, unfinished roof and gaping space at the back "uncomer" of our home (something all builders have said looks "unfinished", "weird", and is the one major negative and resale obstacle to our otherwise attractive home), and to realize that without a variance, it will always be an unfinished, strange -looking, architectural "eyesore". --It has been difficult looking out a permanently locked kitchen door to a 10 foot drop-off, also seeing an expensive retaining wall built seven years ago to provide a walkway to our x deck which. can never be built and used as designed, unless a variance is granted. --Surrounded by woods with a mosquito -breeding jungle of buckthorn and standing water, itilc difficult not to be allowed a screened -in -porch to protect us and our family from disease-carryi mosquitoes, wasps, and bugs which quickly drive us indoors and away from fully enjoying ou' wonderful three -seasons of outdoor meals, beautiful evenings, and .family time. --Another factor in support of the variance, we believe, is that our porch, if allowed, is now 'and will continue to be surrounded.by a dense and spacious woodland to the entire southeast side', of us, where the porch is planned to be. Even the nearest home, the Klein's, in the planned newt development northeast, of us will be a considerable distance from us and so well -screened by thick woodland that our porch will likely not even be visible to them. At present, our planned porch and deck are about 150 feet away from the home on Karis Way nearest our porch. A few homes on the east and south sides of us have limited and distant views of our porch and home. Virtually 100% of all other homes to our south, west, and north who have been sent this request for variance notice, cannot even see our porch or home from their domes. In ad with just a few left to contact, we have found that 23 households are supportive of the variance. --We are not adding or asking that much: only to be permitted to complete a screen porch of 163 square feet (approximately 12 x 13) exactly in the unfinished space and empty corner where itl was designed to be built 7 years ago. It is my understanding that this will increase our hard surface by 1.2% over what was previously approved when our home was built in 1999. --We will be in full compliance with all set -back requirements, and the space beneath the porc will remain open, with no foundation and no increase in the size of the lower level. We believ� that allowing this variance will be detrimental to no one, and will be a positive improvement and benefit to us, our neighborhood, community, tax base, and property values. I --If our requested variance is not approved, the only other alternative we can think of would be to seek to purchase some property from one of our neighbors so a variance would not be necessary. But that seems totally impractical, impossible, and an additional hardship we could not handle.) OUR HOPE IS THAT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE UNIQUE DIFFICULTIES AND HARDSHIPS WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH, THAT YOU WILL APPROVE OUR VARIANCE, AND WILL GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO FINISH AND FULLY ENJOY THE SCREEN PORCH (AND DECK) WE HAVE PLANNED AND LOOKED FORWARD' TO FOR MANY YEARS.

OLD BUSINESS A. ORDINANCE AMENDMENT — AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EAGAN, MINNESOTA, AMENDING EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER 10 ENTITLED "PUBLIC PROTECTION. CRIMES AND OFFENSES" BY AMENDING SECTION 10.12, SUBD. 7(D), REGARDING REGULATION OF HARBORING CARRIER PIGEONS: AND BY ADOPTING BY REFERENCE EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER 1 AND SECTION 10.99 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve an ordinance amendment amending Eagan City Code Chapter 10 entitled "Public Protection, Crimes and Offenses" by amending Section 10.12, Subd. 7(d), regarding regulation of harboring carrier pigeons; and by adopting by reference Eagan City Code Chapter 1 and Section 10.99. FACTS: ➢ On February 21, 2006 the City Council denied a license for the harboring of pigeons at 3880 Princeton Trail and directed the removal of the pigeons within 60 days. The Council further directed the preparation of an ordinance amendment that would restrict the harboring of pigeons to agricultural districts provided that the property is five or more acres in size. ➢ The proposed ordinance amendment was considered on March 6, 2006 and continued until such time as more information could be gathered and discussed by the City Council at a workshop. ➢ Based on the advice of the City Attorney's Office, staff recommended and the City Council approved a moratorium ordinance on May 26, 2006 prohibiting consideration of the issuance of pigeon harboring licenses until September 30, 2006 or such sooner time as the City Council may determine. 0 ➢ At the Special City Council meeting held on June 13, 2006 staff and the City Attorney's Office were directed to prepare an ordinance amendment that would require the following additional items before a pigeon harboring license would be issued: 1. The owner of the pigeons must be a member in good standing of an organized pigeon club. By inference this suggests that the applicant must be the owner of the pigeons. The proposed ordinance also requires the applicant to be the property owner. 2.. A minimum lot size would be added to the ordinance. Staff is suggesting a minimum lot size of'h acre and that is written in the proposed ordinance. That minimum lot size will have the effect of prohibiting pigeon licenses in residential neighborhoods with densities greater than two units per acre. This would exclude the use from most properties in the more urbanized areas of the City, while licenses may continue to be considered on larger lots and in less urbanized areas. 3. A one year licensing period which is already proved for in the Code and therefore requires no change. ➢ Consideration of the proposed ordinance amendment was specifically directed.by_the_ City Council to the July 6, 2006 regular meeting, __ therefore no additional notice has been provided to potential applicants or to representatives of the pigeon clubs. ➢ Assuming approval of the proposed amendment, action to lift the moratorium on prohibiting consideration of the issuance of pigeon harboring licenses will be scheduled for the July 18 meeting. ➢ Also upon approval of the ordinance amendment, all necessary steps to enforce the City Council's directive to have the pigeons removed from 3880 Princeton Trail will be undertaken.

The City Council of the City of Eagan does ordain: Section 1. Eagan City Code Chapter 10 is hereby amended by changing 10. 12, Subd. 7(D) to read as follows: D. Granting or denying issuance of permit. The council may, as provided in this subdivision, grant or refuse to grant a permit hereunder. The council may refuse to grant a permit hereunder for any of the following reasons: 1. The application is incomplete and contains false, fraudulent or deceptive statements. 2.

The applicant is not the owner of the pigeon(s) and is not the occupant of the property for which the permit is issued. 6. The annlicant is not a member in good standing of an organized uigeon club, such as the American Racing Pigeon Union, Inc., the International Federation of Racing Pigeon Fanciers, the National Pigeon Association, the American Tippler Society, the International Roller Association, the Rare Breeds Pigeon Club, or a local club that has rules that will help preserve the peace and tranquility of the neighborhoo,d. No permit shall be issued for any property less than one-half (1/2) acre in size. Section 2. Eagan City Code Chapter 1 entitled "General Provisions and Definitions Applicable to the Entire City Code Including 'Penalty for Violation"' and Section 10.99, entitled "Violation a Misdemeanor" are hereby adopted in their entirety by reference as though repeated verbatim.

FACTS: ➢ On June 6, 2006, the City approved a Planned Development Amendment to allow outside dining on the west side of the building in conjunction with the Viva Italia restaurant. ➢ One of the conditions of. approval was that signs reserving parking for specific businesses in the Centennial Ridge shopping center be removed. The applicant is requesting that this condition be removed from the patio dining approval. ➢ The applicant indicates that the reserved parking signs were installed as a condition of the leases with certain of the tenants to insure the availability of spaces for customers close to their businesses, in light of the popularity of the restaurant use. The applicant has stated that they have approached the tenants about removing the reserved parking signs, and ---_------.---they-have_been-unwilling_to amend_their-leases.---- -------------------------------.------- ➢ When the Centennial Ridge development was initially approved, the City required a cross -easement for ingress/egress over this lot, and the adjacent lot to the east, since access to both lots was provided from Johnny Cake Ridge Road. ➢ In 2004, a PD Amendment was approved for this site allowing on -sale liquor and joint parking associated with a Class I restaurant, Viva Italia. ➢ The joint parking was necessary because with the restaurant, the required parking for the retail building exceeded the number of parking stalls on the lot. At the time, Viva proposed the joint parking since the cross -easement was in'place and their peak hours of business were at different times of the day. The City approved the use of joint parking. ➢ In addition, proof of parking for up to 11 parking stalls was identified on the plans. These stalls were to be constructed at the Owner's expense in the event the City determines that additional parking is needed. ➢ The City attorney has opined that the reserved parking violates the cross parking agreement and without the removal of the reserved parking signs, each lot in Centennial Ridge 2nd Addition is required under the City Code to provide the necessary parking for the tenants located on the lot.

One condition of the approval requires that the eight parkiag sialt signs, in favor of Fantastic Sams be :....._....... . .... ..._............ _.._........_ ... ... , ._..._. ..... _......_ _..._.... _ .. . _._... removed. The eigirt parking stalls were grunted to the tenant, Good Hair Day, d1Wa Fantastic Sams, as an amendment to the lease between the ten=t and previous landlord, Commercial Property i Development Company LLC, on June 23, 2004. As an aside, Centennial Ridge 201 Addition was sold { to Centennial Ridge, LLC in June 2006, who has assuaged the current leases. i -- 1 have spoken to the owner of Fantastic Sanas requesting cooperation on this matter, but unfortunately the owner is not willing to remove the signage. Viva Italia is eager to start the installation of the patio, but construction can not commence until the condition of approval is met. . Therefore, Viva Italia would like to request that the condition be reconsidered for removal from our approval to construct the outdoor patio. As stated at the previous Council meeting, lack ofparking has not been an issue at Centennial Ridge 2�d Addition, and therefore we hope the City Council will work with us in our efforts to add this new amenity to the restaurant for Began residents and guests to enjoy.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT — JOE KOHAUT (VIVA ITALIA ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve (or direct Findings of Fact for Denial) a Planned Development Amendment to allow an outside dining patio in conjunction with a Class I restaurant at 1629 Lena Court, legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Centennial Ridge 2nd Addition, in NW'/a of Section 28, subject to the conditions in the APC minutes. REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: At least three votes FACTS: ➢ The site is located on the southeast corner of Diffley Road and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. ➢ An existing multi -tenant retail building which was built in 2004 is present on the site. ➢ Viva Italia, a Class I restaurant, occupies the west end of the building, approximately 4,700 sq. ft. ➢ The applicant proposes to create a patio on the west side of the building, removing existing landscaping in the 6 -foot space between the sidewalk and building, and placing tables along the building. Each table would seat two people. ➢ The patio is proposed to be enclosed by a fence, with access provided from inside the building. ➢ A retractable awning in a color to blend with the brick on the building is also proposed to be installed on the west side of the building over the existing window. The City typically has not considered outside seating in parking calculations. However, the additional seats do have the potential to increase parking demand, at least seasonally. ➢ The restaurant was originally approved with joint use parking for 7 stalls. The City is not currently experiencing any parking problems at the site, however, it may be appropriate for the Council, to consider whether to require installation of some or all of the proof of parking areas identified in 2004. ➢ The Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 23, 2006, and did recommend approval of the Planned Development Amendment. ISSUES: i Since the APC meeting, the applicant has provided additional information on the fence - post lighting and battery powered table lights. ➢ A resident from the neighborhood to the south was present at the APC meeting and spoke against the proposal, stating his concerns about noise, among other things. t�-1T�CH � ANT 6���- i The APC's recommendation was for 7 tables, not 10 as proposed, and called. for the installation of 7 proof -of -parking stalls. The proof of parking plan from 2004 showed two areas for added parking, one with 6 stalls and one with 5 stalls. With the reduced number of tables and fewer outdoor seats, if additional parking is required, the Council may consider having only one of the two proof of parking areas installed.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subdivision 5 states, in part 1. The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the boundaries of any district or changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. 2. The Council shall not rezone any land in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to this chapter without first having referred it to the planning commission for its consideration and recommendation. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The Planned Development and platting was approved in 2003 and the building was constructed in 2004. In 2004, a PD Amendment was approved allowing on -sale liquor and joint parking IS associated with a Class I restaurant, Viva Italia. Planning Report — Viva Italia May 23, 2006 Page 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The property contains a multiple tenant retail building. The restaurant is located on the west end of the building and occupies approximately 4,700 square feet. Seating capacity is 106. The restaurant hours are 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. during the week and 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The original restaurant proposal included outdoor seating, but that was removed from the final plan that the City approved in 2004. While joint use parking for 7 stalls was approved, the City also required proof of parking for additional stalls to be constructed at the Owner's expense in the event the City determines that additional parking is needed. To date, this proof of parking has not been constructed. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposal - The applicant proposes to install an outside dining patio on the west side of the building for the Viva Italia restaurant. The property is currently zoned PD, Planned Development, and is guided RC, Retail Commercial. Site Plan — The applicant is proposing ten outdoor tables, each seating two people. Existing landscaping and rock mulch between the sidewalk and the building on the west side will be removed and the area paved. The applicant's narrative states "Portable pole -mounted lighting will be used to illuminate the patio after dusk for safety purposes." The patio area will be fenced, and a gate installed at the entrance. The "plan provides for a 36 -inch passage area between the fence and the tables, as well as a clear space of 60 inches to meet ADA passage and wheelchair turning space requirements." The submitted site plan shows a 6 -foot width for the patio area, with a four -foot sidewalk outside the fence along the parking lot. Compatibility — The acceptability of the outdoor dining in thislocation is a policy matter to be determined by City officials. The site is located at the intersection of a Diffley Road and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The building and patio are separated from Johnny Cake Ridge Road by the (04 Existing Use Zoning Land Use Designation North Residential Oakbrooke PD, Planned Development LD, Low Density West CVS Pharmacy NB, Neighborhood Business RC, Retail Commercial South Residential (Centennial Ridge) PD, Planned Development MD, Medium Density East Office; Single -Family Residential PD, Planned Development; R-1, Single -Family Residential RC, Retail Commercial, LD, Low Density EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposal - The applicant proposes to install an outside dining patio on the west side of the building for the Viva Italia restaurant. The property is currently zoned PD, Planned Development, and is guided RC, Retail Commercial. Site Plan — The applicant is proposing ten outdoor tables, each seating two people. Existing landscaping and rock mulch between the sidewalk and the building on the west side will be removed and the area paved.

The submitted site plan shows a 6 -foot width for the patio area, with a four -foot sidewalk outside the fence along the parking lot. Compatibility — The acceptability of the outdoor dining in thislocation is a policy matter to be determined by City officials. The site is located at the intersection of a Diffley Road and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The building and patio are separated from Johnny Cake Ridge Road by the (04 Planning Report — Viva Italia May 23,. 2006 Page 3 setback and topography, and is screened with landscaping. A residential neighborhood is situated just to the south of this development. A decorative fence delineates the boundary and a buffer of evergreen trees lines the area between the residential and commercial properties.. Building Modifications — A retractable awning in a color to blend in with the brick veneer on the building is proposed over the existing -restaurant window, and includes a drop valance for protection from the afternoon sun. Staff is concerned that portable pole -mounted lights will be cumbersome in the narrow space available. Staff suggested sconce wall -mounted lights be installed instead. The applicant has looked into that and indicated sconce lighting is not feasible. The applicant is now proposing light caps on the fencing, and table -top lights. Details about the light caps and table -top lights should be provided for incorporation into the PD Amendment Agreement. Parking — While the City has not typically figured outdoor seating into parking calculations, the addition of 20 outdoor seats to this restaurant potentially creates a higher parking demand, at least seasonally. 20 seats would require an additional 7 parking stalls. While the City has not recently experienced parking problems at this site, the APC and Council should consider whether the proof of parking should be installed at this time. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION In summary, the applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow outdoor dining in conjunction with a Class I restaurant on property located at 1629 Lena Court. The proposed outdoor dining patio would be located on the west end of the building, enclosed with a decorative wrought iron fence, and be open during suitable weather for restaurant patrons. Staff suggests uses of wall sconce lighting rather than the proposed portable pole -mounted lights. Clear access to the emergency access panel and for the side door must be maintained in accordance with fire safety and other applicable codes and ordinances. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow an outdoor dining patio on the west end of the building at 1629 Lena Court, in conjunction with a Class I restaurant, on property legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Centennial Ridge 2nd Addition. If approved the following conditions shall apply: 1. An Amendment to the Planned Development Agreement shall be executed and recorded. with the Dakota County Recorder's office. 2. Proof of parking areas as identified on the 9/28/04 site plan shall be installed with construction of the patio. 3.

The fence and gate shall be similar to the existing fence on the south side of the building. 5. Patio lighting shall be provided by light caps on the fencing and table -top lights. Details about the light caps and table -top lights shall be provided for incorporation into the PD Amendment Agreement 6. The awning shall. be of a color to blend in with the brick exterior of the building. No signage shall be allowed on the awning.

ADDITIONAL LAND' -ax O . c - %qtr Planned Development Amendment Lot 1, Block 1, Centennial Ridge 2nd Addition Viva Italia Outdoor Seating Request Viva Italia, the traditional Italian restaurant located at 1629 Lena Court in Centennial Ridge, is proposing to add an outdoor seating patio along the west side of the existing restaurant facility. A copy of the Site Plan showing the restaurant location is attached as Exhibit A. Our intent is to complete the necessary improvements as soon as Council approval has been granted so customers will be able to enjoy this new seating option for the remainder of 2006. Our concept sketch includes seven tables, each seating two persons (total of fourteen seats) along the north side of the restaurant's service door, and three tables that will also each seat two persons (total of six seats) on the south side of the service door. We are requesting approval for a total of 20 seats, as shown in Exhibit B. Patio hours will be concurrent with Viva's present hours of operation: 4:OOpm to 10:OOpm Sunday —Thursday, and 4:OOpm to 11:OOpm Friday — Saturday. Portable pole lighting will be used to illuminate the patio after dusk. for safety purposes._ These lights will be used during business hours only. The patio will be surrounded by a fence that will be secured to the concrete surface. A gate will also be installed at the entrance. Our plan provides for a 36 - inch passage area between the fence and the tables, as well as a clear space of 60 -inches to meet ADA passage and wheelchair turning space requirements. Viva Italia also plans to install a retractable awning over the existing restaurant window. Exhibit C shows the west elevation in diagram 2 where the awning will be installed. The awning will include a drop valance feature for additional protection from the late afternoon sun. The awning color will be chosen to blend in with the brick veneer on the building. The proposed awning is shown on Exhibit D. The surrounding land uses and zoning near Viva Italia includes R-1 Single Family Residential, Neighborhood Business, and Planned Development. Impacts to these surrounding properties and land uses will be nominal. The twenty seat addition on the patio area is a relatively low number which will keep the noise to a minimum. The additional lighting will be minor and will only be used during business hours: In the summer of 2005, Manley Land Development installed a row of Black Hills Spruce north of the wrought iron fence that runs along the property line between the residential homes and the 'commercial 71 RECEIVED APR 19 2006 C development. This creates a natural buffer to inhibit noise and generate privacy between the two land uses. Adding outdoor seating at Viva Italia will have a positive impact on the subject property, and will add an additional amenity to the Centennial Ridge commercial area for Eagan residents and visitors to enjoy. This addition to the restaurant would bring in clientele that may not otherwise dine at Viva Italia. City services such as sewer, water, storm water run-off and roads should not be adversely impacted by the addition of this outdoor seating area. This amendment would create a benefit to the public who visit Viva Italia. The current use of the space where the patio is planned to be located consists of a rock -mulched planting bed with shrubbery. The shrubs will be relocated into other planting beds on the site. The installation of a patio will provide a new use to this established restaurant, as it will promote a relaxing dining environment for those who prefer to be outdoors. Exhibit E provides a visual of the patio in it's completion. Viva Italia's intent is to implement this outdoor seating area to enhance our customers' dining experience by providing the option to dine outdoors, which tends to be a very popular choice during the summer months. 72 2 � 2 JOHNNY CAKE RIDGE ROAD | m ■|■ . | ■ |■ILI §■ §� �|� .�|,� a■ � till |■_� | . � {7 � g,|,■ ��| r!x, i§ �k m ■|■ . | ■ |■ILI §■ §� �|� .�|,� a■ � till |■_� | . � EXHIBIT B 14 AMNEY LAND C9ViENN1AL RIDGE wAIvoI; a DEVELOPMENT rr+ WIEY ROAD EAGAK MN W% .:rru�raur■ . - a BURRING #1 • WEST ELkYAmoN mobagm H Ntl*.K.d G -P �Yar� ti n VOA�MMAR fm'om� a m rt nwm n 'r r aoo ar sm a�rma p �r[ruaAivv[ � s�r� 'Zw7• peon x rmm a�u r oro u bma M (�O7 R b I�aa Airy ��OrO mr pe m� a romp mss... .r »r BUILDING #1 EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS All EXHIBIT D Whether you need added living space, solar protection or a i,ray to reduce energy costs, Durasol Offers beautiful, custom-made shading systems that combine function, beauty and value for any home.

A private easement exists across the site to provide the property to the south (Thomson) access to Yankee Doodle Road. Users are not identified at thislime. The uses should comply with I-1 uses. Final Planned Development review is required for development. Compatibility with Surrounding Area — The site is surrounded by industrial type uses; a--- - -- office/warehouse that is proposed is consistent with the surrounding area. Lots — Three lots and one Outlot are proposed. If the Outlot is not buildable due to steep slopes and easements it should be combined with proposed Lot 1. It is up to the developer to determine if the Outlot is buildable. Lot 1 is 399,041 square feet (9.2 acres), Lot 2 is 241,410 square feet (5.5 acres) Lot 3 is 197,672 square feet (4.5 acres) and the Outlot is 82,380 square feet (1.9 acres). Proposed Lot 3 does not have public street frontage therefore requiring a Variance to Chapter 13.30 Subdivision 8(C) requiring at least 50 feet of public street frontage. Bulk Standards — As a Planned Development deviation from typical zoning bulk standards may be allowed. Simply for the purpose of discussion this proposal is reviewed under the I-1 district minimum and maximum standards. Setbacks — The I-1 setbacks apply, 50 feet from Yankee Doodle Road right-of-way, and 20 feet from the side and rear lot lines, all buildings as proposed meet these requirements. The proposed private street through Lot 1 has a 25 foot setback; the ghost plat for Lot 1 does not meet this requirement as proposed it shows an 18 foot setback. Building Coverage - The I-1 zoning district allows for a maximum of 35 percent building coverage. As proposed each lot meets this requirement. Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 4 \ Building Height — Building height is limited to 40 feet in height in the I-1 district. As proposed the building at its highest point is 33 feet as shown on the Exterior Elevations Plan. Green Space — Green space minimum is 25% of the site in the I-1 district. The Site Plan does not break down the green space per lot but overall the green space is 31.9%. It is not clear if each lot meets this requirement, the applicant should address this issue. With the flexibility of the Planned Development an overall green space calculation could be used, but a minimum for each lot should be established as for a reference for future expansions. Parking_— Overall, the site exceeds parking requirements by 41 stalls (including proof of parking). Lot 1 is shown as possible future development on the Site Plan with office and warehouse uses. Lots 2 and 3 are shown as office/warehouse uses 80% warehouse and 20% office. The parking breakdown is as follows. Lot Required stalls Provided stalls Proof of parking Total stalls 1 154 105 30 135 2 107 98 43 141 3 92 84 34 118 Cross easements are proposed for access and parking could be included in that as well allowing each lot to meet the minimum requirements. Parking setbacks and stall requirements are met. Landscaping — The Landscape Plan appears adequate and meets Ordinance requirements. Trash Enclosure — A trash enclosure is not shown on the Site Plan, all trash and recycling receptacles should be placed within an enclosure either attached or detached from the principal building. The enclosure should meet principal structure setbacks, should be constructed of materials to match the exterior of the principal building, with gates or doors having at least 90% opacity. The enclosure should be no less than six feet and not more than 10 feet in height. Outdoor Storage — Outdoor storage is not proposed at this time which includes any outdoor storage of trucks, trailers, equipment etc. If outdoor storage is necessary for a future tenant a Planned Development Amendment would be required. Grading/ Topography/ Erosion Control — The preliminary grading plan is acceptable. The existing site is generally open and slopes to the east, with elevations ranging from 960 along the west edge of the site to 900 to the east. Grading of the site will require a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency storm water permit for construction activity for developments of more than one acre in size. This development must meet all requirements of this permit. The designer of the erosion/ sediment control plan required under the MPCA permit should be certified through a state erosion/ sediment control design training course, such as offered by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, or a.City-approved equal. EA� Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 5 Storm Drainage — The preliminary storm drainage plan is acceptable with modifications. Storm water runoff from the development is proposed to drain via public storm sewer to a storm water pond to be constructed in the south-central portion of the site. The pond will then flow via pipe to the Canadian Pacific Railroad along the east edge of the site, and ultimately to an existing storm sewer system within Highway 149 right-of-way. The discharge to the railroad right-of-way is proposed to be concentrated in one location at a substantial rate. The developer should reduce the amount of discharge to one point, and provide storm flow energy dissipation so to reduce potential erosion within the railroad right-of-way ditch, as approved by City staff. The developer should construct an outlet skimmer on the proposed storm water basin, in accordance with City standards. Wetlands/Water Quality - The required volume and area of water quality treatment ponds are based on the impervious proportion of proposed developments. The developer proposes to direct a majority (88 percent) of the runoff to an on-site treatment pond that will be constructed. Stormwater from the remaining 13 percent of the site is proposed to drain off-site. A cash dedication in lieu of ponding would be required for this untreated stormwater drainage. At its August 16, 2005 meeting, the Eagan City Council determined a depression area with wetland conditions in southeast corner of the site to be exempt from state replacement requirements Utilities The preliminary utility plan is acceptable with modifications. Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, depth and capacity is available for connection along the. east side ofH ghway This connection connection will require the boring of.a casing pipe under the Canadian Pacific Railroad right-of-way and Highway 149 right-of-way. Water main service of sufficient size and capacity is available from Yankee Doodle Road. Streets/ Access/ Circulation — This site is adjacent to Yankee Doodle Road (County Road 28). Access to the site is via private street proposed to intersect Yankee Doodle Road in direct alignment with the existing access to the north (Gopher Resources) approximately 800 feet west of Highway 149. The Dakota County Plat Commission did not approve the preliminary plat because the proposed full access location does not meet County spacing guidelines from Highway 149. Moving the access location west to achieve the required spacing distance from Highway 149 would call for substantial grading because of the extreme topography along the west edge of the site adjacent to the City's water reservoir property. If the developer desires the access to remain at the current proposed location, Dakota County will require developer to construct the full closure of the median on Yankee Doodle Road to restrict vehicle movements to right -in/ right -out only, or pursue a variance to the spacing guidelines with the Plat Commission. The closure of the median will also affect Gopher Resource property access to the north. This development should meet all conditions of plat approval and permit approval as required by Dakota County. Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 6 The private street will extend through the development north -south and will provide access for future development of West Publishing property to the south. The developer should provide a private ingress/ egress easement in'favor of the West Publishing property providing for future use of the private street within the development, as approved by the City Attorney. Easements/ Permits/ Ri t -of -Way — The developer should be responsible for acquiring permit approval from Canadian Pacific Railroad to allow the discharge of storm water and construction activity within railroad right-of-way, prior to final plat approval. The developer should be responsible for acquiring permit approval from Magellan Petroleum for all development work within the pipeline easement on the property. The developer should be responsible for acquiring permit approval from the MN Department of Transportation for all work within Highway 149 right-of-way, prior to final subdivision approval. Financial Obligation — At this time, there are no pending assessments on the parcel proposed for platting. Based upon a study by City staff of the financial obligations collected in the past and proposed use for the property, the following estimated charges will be collected at time of final subdivision or connection to the City's utility system. The final charges will be computed using the rates in effect at time of connection or subdivision. The estimated financial obligation is subject to change based upon the areas, dimensions and land uses contained in the final subdivision or plat. Improvement Use Rate QuantityAmount Water Lateral C/I $35.10/ F.F. 1,949 F.F $68,410 Storm Sewer Lateral C/I $41.20/ F.F, 145 F.F $5,974 Storm Sewer Trunk C/I $0.159/ S.F. 936,984 S.F. $148,980 Total $223,364 Tree Preservation — The submitted tree inventory indicates that there are twenty-eight (28) significant trees in the inventory for the entire site. All of these trees are located along the east property line, adjacent to State Highway 149. The development as proposed will result in the removal of all twenty-eight (28) significant trees (100 % of the total). According to the City of Eagan Tree Preservation Ordinance allowable tree removal for this development is 30%. The applicant has submitted a combination Tree Mitigation Plan and landscape Plan that indicates the fulfillment of required tree mitigation through the installation of forty-two (42) Category B trees. VIM Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 7 Parks and Recreation — The proposed lots are subject to Park and Trail cash dedication, which would be collected at the time of building permit. The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed this application on January 12, 2006 and recommended approval. Building_ Architecture/Materials — No less than seventy-five (75) percent of the exterior, exposed walls of any newly constructed building in light industrial (I-1) district shall be constructed of a vertical finish made of noncombustible, non -degradable, and low maintenance construction material, including, but not limited to, face brick; natural stone; specially designed precast concrete or synthetic stucco or comparable material (e.g., dryvit) units, provided the surfaces have been integrally treated with an applied decorative material or texture; smooth, painted or decorative concrete block, provided the block is scored at least twice. Twenty-five percent or less of the exterior, exposed walls of any newly constructed building in light industrial (I-1), general industrial district may be constructed of any of the following materials: metal, including but not limited to steel, sheet or corrugated aluminum, or iron; vinyl; plain concrete block; or any other material not within the standards set forth in paragraph b.i. Any metal surface or. siding as permitted herein shall be coated or anodized with a non -reflective, glare -free finish. As proposed these standards are met. As a Planned Development higher standards for finish materials could be established. Si na e_ An entrance Sign The subject site is subject to Development Amendment. is shown on the Landscape Plan but does not provide any detail. sign a Li tin — The lighting plan seem efficient for an industrial use. The poles will be 30 foot poles with "shoe -box" style lights. Lighting should not be directed upon public right-of-way or adjacent properties and the source of light shall not be visible from off the property. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The applicant is proposing to subdivide 21 acres (Gopher Commons) to create 3 Lots and one Outlot. The applicant proposes to construct three office/warehouse buildings totaling 145,000 sq. ft. on this site. Users are not established at this time, Final Planned Development review is required for development. Uses should comply with I-1 uses. Any outdoor storage would require a Planned Development Amendment. As proposed the I-1 standards are met with exception to the building height, the Elevation plans indicate a building height of 55 feet; the I-1 district limits height to 40 feet. Tree mitigation, water quality, grading, storm drainage, and utilities are acceptable as proposed. This site is adjacent to Yankee Doodle Road (County Road 28). Access to the site is via Private Street proposed to intersect Yankee Doodle Road in direct alignment with the existing access to the north (Gopher Resources) approximately 800 feet west of.Highway 149. The Dakota County Plat Commission has reviewed and approved the preliminary plat with access restricted to right 9/ Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 8 in/ right -out turning movements only because the proposed access location does not meet County spacing guidelines. If the developer desires the access to remain at the current proposed location, Dakota County will require developer to construct the full closure of the median on Yankee Doodle Road to restrict vehicle movements to right -in/ right -out only, or pursue a variance to the spacing guidelines with the Plat Commission. The closure of the median will also affect Gopher Resource property access to the north. This development should meet all conditions of plat approval and permit approval as required by Dakota County. As proposed building material standards are met. Entrance monument signs are shown on some of the submitted plan sheets, but no details are given. Signage should meet the City Sign Ordinance and a pylon sign would require a Planned Development Amendment.

EXCEPTING THEREFROM that part platted as GOPHER EAGAN INDUSTRIAL PARK IST ADDITION, according to the recorded plat thereof. This parcel, currently zoned PD would be subdivided into 3 lots and 1 outlot, and zoned 1-1, Light Industrial. We would then like to construct one building per lot, which would house general office/warehouse. The construction would start this coming Spring of 2006 with the mass grading. After that, the building would undergo construction when specific users of each building are brought on board. The existing land use is a storage facility for an excavation company, for their excess material. The surrounding land use is: City property, water tower and park to the west, commercial property (undeveloped) to the. east, Gopher Resource to the north and light industrial to the south. Residential properties are further west and south. Sincerely, Bill Sharbono, Loucks McLagan Minneapolis,. January 13, 2006 City of Eagan Attention Sheila Cartney 3739 Pilot Knob Road Eagan MN 55122-1810 Re: GOPHER COMMONS The Dakota County Plat Commission met on January 9, 2006, to consider the preliminary plat of the above referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to CSAH 28, and is therefore subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance. The preliminary plat is located in the southwest quadrant of CSAH 28 and Trunk Highway 149. This plat shows one full private access onto CSAH 28 and is located approximately 800 feet from TH 149. This access meets the requirements of 1/8 -mile spacing for right turns only access. A full access at this location would require a variance from the current Access Spacing Guidelines and was not supported by the Plat Commission. The city indicated that Thompson Legal, which has undeveloped property to the south and southwest of this plat, has interest in this development as an access easement to CSAH 28. In the future, Thompson Legal is expected to expand current operations, resulting in increased traffic in the area. The Plat Commission stated that the city should plan for Thompson Legal to connect to the Elrene Road in the future and utilize the current full access at CSAH 28 and Elrene Road. The Plat Commission is recommending closure to the median at the proposed full access location to restrict the access to right turns only. Closure of the median will be required through the permitting process by the ----------- ----- --Transports-tion IIepartment—The-Pla't-Cnmmissiori recognizes -that the -median -closure -impacts -the -access -to ---- the Gopher site to the north of CSAH 28. If the developer/city wishes to pursue a full access at the proposed location, a variance letter must be submitted through the city. The letter should state the conditions causing the hardship. In addition, the Plat Commission did not rule out the possibility of a full access location if moved to the west boundary line, having approximately 1150 feet of spacing from TH149. This western boundary location would need to be studied to determine if there are adequate sight distances, stop distances and can accommodate large - truck movements. The Plat Commission recommends that the County Transportation Department, the city and the developer meet to discuss the difficulty of -a full access and the need for future local road connections in the area. The Plat Commission did not approve the preliminary plat as submitted. No work shall commence in the County right of way until a permit is obtained from the County Transportation Department and no permit will be issued until the plat has been filed with the County Recorder's Office. The Plat Commission does not review or approve the actual engineering design. of proposed accesses or other improvements to be made in the right of way. The Plat Commission highly recommends early contact with the Transportation Department to discuss the permitting process which reviews the design and may require construction of highway improvements, including, but not limited to, turn lanes, drainage features, limitations on intersecting street widths, allowance and size of medians, etc. Please contact Gordon McConnell regarding permitting questions at (952) 891-7115 or Todd Tollefson regarding Plat Commission or Plat Ordinance questions at (952) 891-7070.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Planned Development: City Code Chapter 11.60, Subd. 18, A., states the intent of the Planned Development zoning district as follows: 1. Providing greater flexibility in environmental design and relaxation of strict application of the zoning ordinance in exchange for greater creativity and environmental sensitivity. 2. Recognizing the economic and cultural advantages that will accrue to the residents of a planned community. 3. Encouraging a more creative and efficient approach to the use of the land. Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 2 4. Encouraging the preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics, natural features, and open space. 5. Encouraging a development pattern that is consistent with land use density, transportation facilities and community facilities objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Variance: City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subdivision 3, B., 3, states that the Council may approve, approve with conditions or deny a request for a variance. In considering all requests for a variance, City Council shall consider the following factors: a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity, and result from lot size or shape, topography, or other circumstances over which the owners of property have no control. b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Code would deprive the applicant property use commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the provisions of this Code. c. That special conditions or circumstances do not result from actions of the applicant. d. That granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. e. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this Code or to property in the same zone. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The site consists of 6.8 acres comprised of three parcels. One parcel is a vacant 1.7 acre outlot (zoned R-4) southwest of an existing apartment building at 2099 Silver Bell Road. The two others are unplatted parcels that comprise a 5.1 acre site which contains a single family home. This portion of the site is currently zoned A, Agriculture. The site is surrounded by a variety of uses. Public Facilities to the west, industrial to the north and east, commercial office to the south, and both multiple -family and single-family residential to the west. Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 3 Comprehensive Land Use Plan — Earlier this year, the City considered a request to change the Comprehensive Guide Plan Land Use designation from LD, Low Density, to HD, High Density residential. On April 4, 2006, the City Council directed the amendment to be sent to the Metropolitan Council for review. The City Council also concurred with the Advisory Planning Commission that Planned Development would be a more appropriate zoning for the development site. On May 25, 2006, the City received the Metropolitan Council's response to the proposed land use amendment, waiving further review and directing that the City may implement the land use amendment. EXISTING CONDITIONS The 5.1 acre site is heavily wooded and generally slopes to the northwest. A heavily wooded ravine extends along the west edge of the property. The ravine has steep slopes with significant natural resource considerations, including tree preservation and impacts to downstream property. This ravine is directly above the Minnesota River flats, and appears to be highly susceptible to erosion. The ravine should be subject to stringent temporary and permanent erosion control measures with any type of land use and development. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: EVALUATION OF REQUEST Description of Proposal — The existing three parcels are proposed to be replatted as a single parcel. The applicant proposes to construct a four-story 107 -unit apartment building on the westerly 5.1 acre parcel, providing access to the building via a new public street from Silver Bell Road through the existing 1.7 acre outlot. Compatibility with Surrounding — There are a variety of land uses adjacent to this site — office, industrial, multi -family and single-family and quasi -public. The proposed multi -family residential use appears compatible with this mix of existing uses. Airport Noise Considerations — The City of Eagan considered airport noise as a factor in its Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The Metropolitan Council has adopted an Aviation Chapter 1.13 Existing Use Zoning Land Use Designation North Seneca Plant I-1, Limited Industrial IND, Limited Industrial South Apartments/Condos R-4, Multiple Residential HD, High Density residential East Industrial I-1, Limited Industrial IND, Limited Industrial Northwest/ Southwest Vacant/Single- family PF, Public Facilities/ R-1, Single Family Residential QP, Quasi -Public/ LD, Low Density residential EVALUATION OF REQUEST Description of Proposal — The existing three parcels are proposed to be replatted as a single parcel. The applicant proposes to construct a four-story 107 -unit apartment building on the westerly 5.1 acre parcel, providing access to the building via a new public street from Silver Bell Road through the existing 1.7 acre outlot. Compatibility with Surrounding — There are a variety of land uses adjacent to this site — office, industrial, multi -family and single-family and quasi -public. The proposed multi -family residential use appears compatible with this mix of existing uses. Airport Noise Considerations — The City of Eagan considered airport noise as a factor in its Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The Metropolitan Council has adopted an Aviation Chapter 1.13 Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 4 in its Transportation Policy Plan that anticipates the impacts from the continued operation of the airport at its current location. Historically, the City has attempted, where possible, to minimize land uses that would be in conflict with operations at MSP. The City's adopted Comprehensive Guide Plan currently designates the area as LD, Low Density residential. The site is located 3.5 miles south of the north -south runway at MSP, adjacent to the arrival and departure flight track for that runway. Based on the Metropolitan Council Policy Contours adopted in 1996, the site is located within the one -mile buffer area of the 60 dB contour, placing it within Noise Policy Zone 4. The Met Council has recently adopted new land use compatibility guidelines, which incorporate the 2007 Noise Policy Contours. Under the new guidelines it is anticipated that shared -entry multi -family residential dwellings will be a provisional use within the Buffer Zone. This property is located within Airport Noise Policy Zone 4. With the opening of the new North- South runway at MSP in Fall 2005, this property experienced increased exposure to aircraft overflights. Architectural designs and construction methods for construction of a shared -entry multi -family building should incorporate sound attenuation standards sufficient to achieve an interior sound level of 45 dBA. Conforming Plan — The conforming plan is intended to show a development that conforms with R-4 zoning, for comparison purposes to the proposed Planned Development. The conforming plan shows the 107 -unit apartment building. Parking stalls conform to dimensional standards -and required-nurriber of stalls -The conforming-plairshows-conforming-minimunrstructure--- - - setbacks, but does not include the additional setbacks required in conjunction with the increased building height. In the conforming plan, street access is provided via Wuthering Heights Road. Dens i — As a Planned Development, the acceptability of the proposed density is a policy matter to be determined by city officials. To evaluate the developer's proposal, density is first calculated by what is proposed (the number of units divided by the gross/net site areas), then compared against what is required or allowed in the comparable R-4 zoning district. Proposed — The developer is proposing 107 units on a gross site area of 6.8 acres, resulting in a gross density of 15.7 units per acre. With the dedication of approximately 0.6 acres for right-of-way for the new public street, the net site area is 6.2 acres, resulting in a net density of 17.2 units per acre. Required — R-4 zoning requires a minimum site area of 2,750 sq. ft. of area per unit. The City Code allows a credit of 300 sq. ft. per unit for each unit served by underground garage, resulting in a net required site area per unit of 2,450 sq. ft.. With 107 proposed units, this translates into a required site area of 6.0 acres (the equivalent of 17.8 units per acre density). The proposed site, whether measured by gross or net area, exceeds the 6.0 acre minimum, and thus, the site area complies with R-4 standards. liq Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 5 The development as proposed has a net density of 17.2 units per acre, which includes the allowed credit for underground garages, whereas the R-4 zoning district allows a density of 17.8 units per acre. In summary, this proposal complies with R-4 zoning standards for required site area and density. Lots — The existing parcels are proposed to be replatted as a single parcel. Lot 1, Block 1, is proposed to be 6.2 acres, while 0.6 acres will be dedicated as right-of-way. The dedicated right- of-way includes the area of the new public street, and the remnant land south of the new street. The preliminary plat shows the new public street crossing the adjacent parcel (Lot 1, Block 1, Vogelpohl Addition) creating a small triangular remnant to the south of the new street identified as Outlot A. This remnant should be included in the right-of-way easement area for the new public street. Grading/ Topography Erosion Control — The preliminary grading plan is acceptable with modifications. The site is heavily wooded and generally slopes to the northwest. A heavily wooded ravine extends along the west edge of the site. This ravine is directly above the Minnesota River flats, and appears to be highly susceptible to erosion. A detailed grading, drainage, erosion,. and sediment control plan should be prepared in accordance with current City standards and codes prior to final plat and planned development approval. All erosion/ sediment control plans submitted for development and grading permits should be prepared --- - --------by a designer -who -has -received -current Minnesota Department-of-Transportation.QvMOT)------ ------.----------- training, or approved equal training as determined by the City Engineer in designing stormwater pollution prevention plans. Also, all personnel responsible for the installation of erosion/ sediment control devices, and the establishment of vegetation for the development, should have received Erosion/Sediment Control Inspector/Installer certification through the University of Minnesota, or approved equal training as determined by the City Engineer. Storm Drainage — The preliminary storm drainage plan is acceptable with modifications. A majority of the site storm water runoff is proposed to drain to the existing pond within the adjacent property to the north, Lot 1, Block 1 Cedar Bluffs Business Center, either through direct pipe drainage or from a proposed pond within the development. This storm sewer layout is intended to direct runoff away from the ravine as much as possible. The pond proposed on the site is located near the public street leading into the development. In order to meet water quality and rate control requirements, the developer is proposing to expand the existing pond on Lot 1, Block 1, Cedar Bluffs Business Center. The developer should construct an outlet skimmer structure, in accordance with City engineering standards, on the outlet from the proposed pond. Utilities — The preliminary utility plan is acceptable with modifications. Water main and sanitary sewer service is readily available to serve development of the property. 115 Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 6 Streets/ Access/ Circulation — The preliminary site plan shows the extension of a public street from Silver Bell Road west toward Wuthering Heights Road, a rural -section gravel road within public right-of-way. A temporary cul-de-sac is proposed on the end of this street, with no direct connection to Wuthering Heights Road. One driveway connection to the proposed apartment building is shown to the public street. Construction of the public street will require public street easement dedication across the adjacent parcel (Lot 1, Block 1, Vogelpohl Addition). The proposed public street should be constructed to City engineering standards. Easements/ Permits/ Ri t -of -Way — The developer should acquire the necessary public drainage & utility easement to cover the proposed storm sewer pipe and pond expansion on Lot 1, Block 1, Cedar Bluffs Business Center, prior to final plat and planned development approval. The developer should acquire the necessary public street easement from Lot 1, Block 1 Vogelpohl Addition to cover the proposed street extension, prior to final plat and planned development approval. The easement should cover the necessary street extension and include the area shown as Outlot A within Vogelpohl Addition on the preliminary site plan. This development should dedicate 10' drainage and utility easements centered over all common lot lines and adjacent to private property or public right-of-way. This development should dedicate all public right-of-way and temporary slope easements for ultimate development of adjacent roadways as required by the appropriate jurisdictional agency. This development should dedicate adequate drainage and ponding easements to incorporate the required high water elevation necessitated by The developer should provide a financial guarantee and inspection escrow, in amounts and types in accordance with City final subdivision procedures and policies, for the public street and utility work for the development, prior to final plat and planned development approval. The developer should provide as -built record plans of all public streets and utilities, in a form acceptable to the City Engineering Department, at the completion of the development and before occupancy of the proposed building. Water Quality/Wetlands — This 5.1 -acre development is located in the northwest sector of the City, immediately adjacent to property of Metropolitan Council Environmental Services, which operates the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant. The developer proposes to meet the City's water quality requirements by directing stormwater runoff to two treatment ponds, one on the parcel to be constructed and another to be expanded on the adjacent parcel to the north. Requirements for the volume of water quality treatment ponds are based on the imperviousness of proposed developments (i.e., the proportion of land covered by buildings, parking lots, driveways, and walks). As proposed, stormwater treatment for this development exceeds the minimum total volume. There are no wetlands associated with this parcel. ria Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 7 Tree Preservation — A tree inventory submitted with this application indicates that there are one - hundred forty-three (143) significant trees in the inventory. Individual tree size and species break down is as follows: Species Avg Diameter Dia. Range Count Percent of Total Boxelder 18" 12"-30" 55 38% Cottonwood 35" 12"-72" 40 28% Conifer 30 foot height 14'-50' height 40 28% (Red Cedar, White Spruce, Pine) The balance of the tree inventory is comprised of a variety of deciduous trees, including species such as silver maple, black cherry, ash, and willow trees averaging 20" in diameter. The development as proposed will result in the removal of ninety-seven (97) of the one -hundred forty-three (143) significant trees (67.8 % of the total). According to the City of Eagan Tree Preservation Ordinance allowable tree removal for this type of development proposal (single- phase, single -lot, multiple -unit residential) is set at 30% of the total significant trees. With a proposed removal more than the allowable amount, there is a required tree mitigation of one hundred seventy-eight (178) Category B trees. ........ .. . The applicant has submitted a Tree Mitigation Plan that indicates the installation of one -hundred- - -- tliree (r03y Category B -trees to partiallyf-Ifill-tree mitigation-requirements.—Thebalance-.oftke- — - required tree mitigation is proposed to be fulfilled through a cash payment. This cash balance is calculated at $22,500.00. Bulk Standards — While the City Code does not specify bulk standards for the PD zoning district, the R-4 standards are applicable for comparative purposes. The R-4 zoning district requires the following: Building Setbacks — The required and proposed building setbacks are summarized in the tables below. City Code states "all minimum setbacks ... shall be increased by three feet for each one foot of building height over 35 feet." In the R-4 zoning district, this additional setback provision does not identify a maximum setback, however, in other zoning districts, a maximum setback of 60 feet on the front and 40 feet on side and rear yards applies. Thus, with no maximum specified and a building height of 55.5 feet, the building setbacks should be increased an additional 61.5 feet. These amounts are shown below. The proposed building satisfies minimum R-4 standards, but does not satisfy the additional setback requirements. Required Setbacks: Minimum With 55.5'Bldg. Ht. Front yard/public right-of-way = 50 feet 111.5 feet Side yard = 30 feet 91.5 feet Rear yard = 30 feet 91.5 feet III Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 8 Proposed Setbacks: North (rear -- adjacent to industrial) -30' East (side -- adjacent to multi -family) -80' South (front -- adjacent to single-family) -80' West (side -- adjacent to public facilities) -80' Variance - A Variance is required for the existing building setback from the proposed public right-of-way. The R-4 zoning district requires a minimum 50 foot setback to a public street, the existing building at 2099 Silver Bell Road will be set back approximately 20 feet from the proposed new public street right-of-way. Building Coverage - Building coverage in residential districts is typically 20%. Building coverage proposed for this site is 13.1 % Green Space - The development proposes an overall green space of 34%. Building Height - The R-4 zoning district allows a maximum building height of 60 feet. Building height is measured to the mean roof level of a pitched or hip roof, and to the highest point of a flat or mansard roof. Using this method of measurement, the proposed apartment building has a height of 55 to 55.5 feet. Trash Enclosures -Trash storage should be provided within the principal structure, typically - - - - — -- in -the uirderground-garage- area -The submitted -floor -plan indicates -that -interior trash-storage- areas rash-storage areas are provided. Required Recreation Area - The zoning ordinance requires that each multiple dwelling complex provide recreation area for its residents. Therecreation area requirements are summarized below. Required recreation areas must be located at least 100 feet from any ponding area. Given the proposed 107 units, a total amount of recreation area required is 21,600 square feet. The plans do not identify specific on-site recreation space.

Totals 1 107 1 1 21,600 sq. ft. Storage Area - The zoning code requires that a minimum of 150 cubic feet of storage shall be provided within the building for each unit, exclusive of storage space within each dwelling unit. The architect should verify that the required storage space is provided prior to Final Planned Development approval. 11� Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 9 Off -Street Parking — The zoning code requires two parking stalls for each dwelling unit, one of which must be enclosed. The proposed development contains 107 dwelling units. Each building will have an underground garage that provides one enclosed parking stall for each dwelling unit. 76 surface parking stalls are provided, with another 43 stalls identified as future proof or parking. Total possible surface parking is 119 stalls. Parking stalls are ten feet wide and 20 feet deep. Landscaping — The City landscape ordinance requires that tree mitigation be provided in addition to required landscaping. Consequently, the Landscape Plan should stand alone and satisfy the landscape ordinance standards, absent any mitigation plantings. Landscaping plantings are proposed around the building and consist of foundation plants all around the building, shade and ornamental trees along the front (east) of the building, and evergreen trees on the north and south ends of the site. Trees on the northeast corner of the site are shown in the proof of parking areas, and conifers will obstruct visibility at driveway corners and turns.. The developer should explore an alternative landscape design to preserve the future' parking areas, and maintain visibility along the drive lanes. Scattered trees are shown on the west side of the building, on the down side of the slope. Staff is concerned about planting in these areas, both to ensure that trees do get planted to help stabilize the slope and prevent erosion, and that the tree placement be accomplished early enough in the construction project while the necessary equipment can access that area. Staff also has concerns about crowding, and suggests that spacing between trees, particular the conifers, be increased. The patio -shown ori the northeast end-bf the liuildirig exists in part to provide emergeric�rvehcle — y - -- - access to that corner of the building. The selection of trees in that area, particularly between the patio and the building, should be a short variety, such as an ornamental crabapple or Japanese Tree Lilac, so as not to obstruct emergency access to the upper floors of the building. Mitigation plantings are concentrated on the existing 1.7 -acre outlot. Planting around the storm drainage pond and along the public street within proposed Lot 1, Block 1 is acceptable, however, a significant amount of the mitigation is proposed south of the new street, on public right-of-way. Planting within public right-of-way is not acceptable and these trees should be relocated elsewhere within the site. If the site cannot accommodate additional planting, alternative mitigation measures will need to be explored, subject to review and approval by the City Forester. The Final Landscape Plan should be signed by the landscape architect or certified nurseryperson who prepared it. Building Architecture/Elevations — The proposed building is a three and four-story building with underground garage. The three-story section is on the west end of the site, nearest the adjacent single-family homes. Building materials include cementitious siding (Nardi -board or similar material) in two colors, vinyl siding resembling cedar shakes, glass, brick and rock face CMU. The roof material is asphalt shingles. The exterior includes balcony/decks. 119 Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 10 The roof is a pitched roof with gable elements spaced along the length of the building. A tower with a round window and peak roof is shown on the south end of the northeast fagade above the building entrance to the main lobby. This same tower feature is mimicked in the proposed monument sign design. The building shape consists of several segments as the building conforms to the topography of the site. All facades should be treated as a front and utilize the same finish materials, and the plans appear to do so. Signage - City Sign Code allows a free-standing sign for each site entrance to a major apartment complex. A monument sign is permitted. City sign code standards for a monument sign limit the height to 7 feet, with a maximum height of the message area of 4 feet. The proposed monument sign reflects the materials and design features of the principal building and consists of a sign face supported by two pillars. The two pillars have a brick base to match the building and a peaked roof cap. One pillar reflects the architectural style of the building with vinyl "cedar shake" siding. The height to the top peak of the pillars is 7 feet, and to the top of the sign panel is 5.5 feet. The monument sign design is consistent with City Sign Code requirements. The monument sign is proposed to be located adjacent to Silver Bell. Road, on the remnant Outlot A. This location is not acceptable. The proposed monument sign location is off -premises, on a remnant of the adjacent Ll, B1, Vogelpohl Addition and does not meet the required 10 foot setback from the property lines. In addition, it is recommended that the remnant outlot be - -included-idthe-fight-of=way easement for the new public- street connection to Silver Bell Road, in-- which n- which case the sign cannot be placed within right-of-way or right-of-way easement. The monument sign should be relocated within the site, on Lot 1, Block 1, Kennealy Ridge Apartments, and must be set back at least 10 feet from all property lines. Site Lighting Plan — Site lighting is proposed to be accomplished through free-standing pole - mounted lighting. Some building mounted lighting is also proposed. The standard fixtures are 400 watts, high pressure sodium, .mounted at 25 feet. Typically, minimum light levels of 0.5 foot-candles are acceptable within parking lots, and maximum light levels of 1 footcandle at the property line are acceptable. The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (2003) manual suggests an average -to -minimum uniformity ratio not greater than 4:1. The average -to - minimum ratio identified on this plan is 3.6 and 3.8 This suggests fairly uniform light levels throughout the site. The photometric plan was difficult to read, but appears to satisfy these standards. The developer should have the lighting engineer and landscape architect review the Site Lighting Plan in conjunction with the Overall Planting Plan to ensure that the selection of plant materials and placement of light fixtures do not conflict. The lighting engineer should also verify that the sidewalk areas are sufficiently lit for safety and security purposes and additional pedestrian level lighting should be added if necessary. 17D Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 11 Parks and Recreation — This development is responsible for cash parks and trails dedications payable at the time of building permit at the rates then in effect. The 2006 rates are $3,070 per unit for parks and $238 per unit for trails. Financial Obligation/ Connection Charges — At this time, there are no pending assessments on the parcel proposed for platting. Based upon a study by City staff of the financial obligations collected in the past and proposed use for the property, the following estimated charges will be collected at time of final subdivision or connection to the .City's utility system. The final charges will be computed using the rates in effect at time of connection or subdivision. The estimated financial obligation is subject to change based upon the areas, dimensions and land uses contained in the final subdivision or plat, with due allowances for easements and right-of-way required with the plat: Improvement Use RateQuantity_ Amount Storm Sewer Trunk MF $0.1325/ sf 277,302 sf 1 $36,743 SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Sunrise Properties is requesting approval of a Rezoning from A, Agriculture and R-41 Residential Multiple, to PD, Planned Development, and a Preliminary Planned Development to create a four-story 107 -unit apartment building, upon 6.8 acres. A Variance is also requested for setback of an existing building from the new public street. The Planned Development zoning allows for flexibility from strict code requirements, and provides for review and approval of the building architecture and design, monument signage, landscape plan, site lighting, and other elements of the development. This flexibility is intended to encourage greater creativity and environmental sensitivity in site design and more creative and efficient use of land. The proposed development combines three existing parcels into one for construction of an apartment building on the westerly 5.1 acres with access to the building via a new public street from Silver Bell Road through the southeasterly 1.7 acres. The dedicated right-of-way extends to the Wuthering Heights Road right-of-way, and ends in a temporary cul-de-sac with no direct connection to Wuthering Heights Road. The dedicated right-of-way also includes the remnant land south of the new street. The remnant Outlot A on the adjacent Ll, B1, Vogelpohl Addition should be included in the right-of-way easement for the new public street. Ponding is located near the new public street leading into the development. The proposed density is acceptable, meets typical R-4 standards and is consistent with the HD, High Density, land use designation. The grading and storm drainage plans are acceptable with some modifications. Water quality requirements are satisfied and tree mitigation is required. Tree mitigation is proposed within newly dedicated right-of-way, and the proposed placement of the monument sign is unacceptable. The building is. 55.5 feet in height and as a result requires 121 Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 12 additional setbacks which are not satisfied. The developer will need to demonstrate compliance with recreational space requirements prior to Final Planned Development approval. Site landscaping and lighting plans will need additional scrutiny and some modification prior to Final Planned Development approval. This development is subject to cash park and trail dedications payable at the time of final plat.

Sunrise Properties LLC. RECEIVED MAY 3 12006 May 31, 2006 Ms. Pam Dudziak City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 Dear Ms. Dudziak Sunrise Properties is requesting a rezoning of property and Preliminary Planned Development approval of our project located Northwest of Highway 13 and Silver Bell Road in the SE'/4 of Section 18. In addition, a variance to the required front setback is requested to construct a public access to site within 50 feet of an existing apartment building. Comprehensive Guide Plan The Silverpines property is currently guided High Density Residential (.BD) and Bassett property Low Density residential (LD). Both are surrounded by property to the. north. guided Quasi Public/ Institutional ,(QP), property to the east guided Limited Industrial - - - -- -- - roe to -the -west guided--L--ow-Density -i residential D , and. roe to.the.'-. _.__.. _ pp south guided High Density residential (HD) and Special Area (SA). A request for a comprehensive guide plan amendment to change the land use of the Bassett property from Low Density residential (LD) to High Density residential (HD) is currently at the Met Council for review. The change in the land use designation would allow for the construction of multiple family units on the Bassett property. Zoning The Silverpines property is currently zoned Residential Multiple, (R-4) and The Bassett property Agricultural (A). Both properties are surrounded by property to the north zoned Public Facility (PF), property to the east zoned Limited Industrial (I-1), property to, the west zoned Residential Single Family (R-1), and property to the south zoned Residential Multiple (R.-4) and Planned Development (PD). The property also lies within the MSP Noise Buffer Zone. Given the sensitive physical characteristics — trees; topography and proximity to a sensitive wetland and the Minnesota River flats — as well as our desire to utilize a new public street access, we request the City to consider a rezoning of the Bassett -and Silverpines property to PD, Planned Development with the intent of. !nECSIVEI) MAY .3 Inn - providing greater flexibility in environmental design and relaxation of strict application of the zoning ordinance in exchange for greater creativity and environmental sensitivity. - recognizing the economic and cultural advantages that will accrue to the residents of a planned community. - encouraging a more creative and efficient approach to the use of the land. - encouraging the preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics, natural features, and open space. - encouraging a development pattern that is consistent with the land use density, transportation facilities and community facilities objectives of the, Comprehensive Plan. Existing Land Use The Bassett property. currently is used for one single family residence and includes. two parcels totaling 5.11 acres. The Silverpines property is currently vacant and 1.7 acres in. size. Both are surrounded by property to the north that is vacant with significant etlands-propaerty-to the eastthat-is-office/-wa'rellour,t, prblserty'tcsthe we-st that ir-sirigt - family residential, and property to the south that contains apartments, condominiums, and office/ warehouse uses. _ ....... _._.._. _ ..._The- existing -Residence on -the -Bassett property-will.be,removed.as_part of_the site-.- preparation ite_preparation of the proposed development. All existing wells on the project property will be capped per Minnesota Rules, Land Use Concept Plan The combined project area includes 5.11 acres of the Bassett property and 1.72 acres of property owned by Silverpines Acquisitions. Acquisition of the Silverpines property will provide access to Silver Bell Road. A 30 foot variance to the required 50 foot front, building setback is requested to allow public access to the site off Silver Bell Road because of the following factors: Currently the only public access to the site is Wuthering Heights Road, which enters the property from the west through an existing single family neighborhood. Access to the site through this road is discouraged in order to minimize traffic impacts on the neighborhood. - Access to the project site off Silver Bell Road would be consistent with access to the existing apartments. on either side of project property. - The project site could be accessed by a private driveway but by constructing the access as public right of way there will be the future opportunity to "loop" Wuthering Heights to Silver Bell Road. The multi -family use proposed for the site provides a transition and buffer to the adjacent light industrial and is compatible with the adjacent multi -family uses. Impacts to the a� 1 47 residential neighborhood to the west will be minimized by prohibiting access to the residential street and by providing a landscape buffer to the adjacent single family home. Existing trees on site consist of softwoods of various sizes such as Cottonwoods, Box elder and Basswoods with a few evergreens scattered throughout. Significant grading and tree removal will likely occur on the property in order to meet its intended multi -family use. The project will need to conform to Eagan "Ordinance No. 217 2"d Series regarding tree preservation and mitigation. The Silverpines property could provide an area for tree mitigation, if needed. Project Justification The vision for the Bassett and Silverpines property is to develop a residential environment that provides a lifecycle and lifestyle housing for the residents of Eagan. It is the intent of Sunrise Properties to provide multiple family housing, while minimizing the impact to adjacent single family residences. As a long time single family residence, the Bassett property has been recently impacted by the development of office/ warehouse and condominiums on two adjacent parcels. It is also located within the MSP Noise Ordinance Buffer Zone and the recent opening of runway 17/35 will have an ongoing impact on the site an surroun ing pro ep ies. The site's continued use as sing a family residential isnot compatible with. these uses. Proiect Schedule & Phasing It is assumed the apartments will be constructed as a single phase project. Plan approval and site construction would need to begin in 2006 in order to complete the project by 2007. Preliminary Proiect Schedule Description Completion Date Rezoning & Comp.

The amendment reguides about 5.1 acres from LD Low Density Residential to HD High Density Residential, located northwest of TH 13 at Wuthering Heights Road. The purpose of the amendment is to reguide land for the development of a 107 -unit apartment building. Council staff finds the amendment meets the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Administrative Review Guidelines adopted by the Council on May 11, 2005.. The amendment is also consistent with Council Guidelines for Evaluating Plan Amendments Proposing Changes to Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) Timing -Staging as adopted on January 12, 2005. Therefore, further action- on- this- review is -waived -and -the City -may -place -this -amendment -into -effect: - --- -- - - - - - Council staff offers the following advisory comments: Aviation (Chauncey Case, 651-602-1724) The amendment site is in the general approach area to the new runway 17/35 operations at MSP International Airport. The project is about 1,200' outside the year 2007 DNL 60 noise contour. The runway will have increased operations and is also used for noise abatement purposes. The City of Eagan has adopted a one -mile noise buffer zone that extends noise control efforts beyond the 60 DNL contour. Under the Council's land use compatibility guidelines for noise, the proposed residential use could be allowed in the buffer zone if local building code ordinances will attenuate exterior to interior noise to meet an interior level of 45dba. Application of guidelines for noise control in a buffer zone is at the discretion of the affected community. The proposed project, assuming noise and energy controls, would be consistent with the Council's TPP/Aviation Policy Plan. Council staff recommends that the City require notification of owners as concerns aircraft noise and that best management procedures be followed by the contractors in caulking, and control of noise flanking through vents to the outside of the structure. Regional Parks and Trails (Freya Thamman,. 651-602-1750) The amendment site is located about %z mile from the Minnesota Valley State Trail, and is also located adjacent the proposed Minnesota Valley/Lebanon Hi11s:Regional Trail.

Surface Water Management (Jim Larsen, 651-602-1159) The City's update local surface water management plan was due in 2004. It is our understanding that the City is currently preparing a draft updated plan that is expected to be completed by the end of 2006 and submitted to the Council and watershed organizations upon completion. The amendment, explanatory materials and the information submission form will be appended to the City's Plan in the Council's files.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT — PARK NICOLLET ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve (or direct Findings of Fact for Denial) a Planned Development Amendment to allow a pylon sign on Lot 1, Block 1, Galaxie Cliff 3rd Addition in the NW 1/4 of Section 32 subject to the conditions in the APC minutes. REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: At least three votes FACTS: ➢ The subject site contains a 20,000 medical facility located on Plaza. Drive adjacent to I - 35E. ➢ Building signage is located on the east and west exteriors facing Plaza Drive and includes an 260+ square feet sign located on a large wall on the roof of the building that is used to screen mechanical equipment. ➢ The applicant is proposing to locate a 27 -foot high pylon sign in an area northwest of the -property-. adj acent-to-theF135E-right-oPwaY toincrease-the facility's -visibility from -both Cliff Road and I -35E. The proposed sign location would meet spacing requirements of 300 feet from another pylon sign. ➢ The subject site is included in the Galaxie Cliff Planned Development and is now fully developed. Existing pylon signs are currently located on three of the five parcels within the Planned Development including the adjacent properties to the north and south of the subject site. ➢ The proposed site currently contains mature landscaping and trees that would removed to accommodate both the location and visibility of the proposed sign. ➢ A pylon sign request in 1997 was denied for the subject site as it appears a majority of the City Council believed the existing signage was adequate for the site and they did not want to see a proliferation of pylon signs along I -35E. ➢ The Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 27, 2006 and the Commission is recommending approval of the pylon sign subject to conditions. 60 DAY AGENCY ACTION DEADLINE: July 26, 2006 ATTACHMENTS (2): June 27, 2006 APCin tes on p es tie..

The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the boundaries of any district or changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. 2. The Council shall not rezone any land in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to this chapter without first having referred it to the planning commission for its consideration and recommendation. BACKGROUND/HISTORY In 1988, the initial Planned Development was approved for this area that specified Limited Business uses. In 1990, the original Park Nicollet medical clinic was constructed as part of the Galaxie Cliff 2nd Addition. In 1997, Park Nicollet acquired additional property from the property owner to the south for an addition to the building. The City approved a Planned Development Amendment at that time that allowed the building expansion and a new plat, Galaxie Cliff 3ra Addition. However, a pylon sign request that was part of the 1997 application was denied for the subject site. It appears the sign was denied because a majority of the City Council believed the Planning Report — Park Nicollet Pylon Sign PD Amendment June 27, 2006 Page 2 existing signage was adequate for the site and they did not want to see a proliferation of pylon signs along I -35E. In October of 1998, the City Council approved a pylon sign for the adjacent RHS office building to the south. This sign was designed to provide enough distance to establish a pylon sign on the Park Nicollet site, at a later date, that would meet city code requirements. Previously, pylon signs were approved for the Burnet Realty building next to the subject site and the child care facility within the same Planned Development. EXISTING CONDITIONS The subject site contains a 20,000 medical facility located on Plaza Drive adjacent to I -35E. Building signage is located on the east exterior facing Plaza Drive and on the west facing 1-3 5E. The west facing signage is approximately 260+ square feet and is located on a large wall on the roof of the building that is used to screen mechanical equipment. Mature landscaping is located along the 1-3 5E property line. The Galaxie Cliff Planned Development includes the subject site and is now fully developed. Existing pylon signs are currently located on three of the five parcels within the Planned Development. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: EVALUATION OF REQUEST City Code Requirements Properties within the Galaxie Cliff Plaza Addition Planned Development are subject to City Code requirements. The City Code requires that pylon signs (freestanding business signs over 7 feet high) may not exceed 27 feet. in height and are limited to 125 square feet of sign area per side. An on -premises pylon sign for identification purposes is allowed as a Conditional Use for a Existing Use Zoning Land Use Designation North Office Building- PD O/S Office Service Burnet Realty South Office Building -RHS PD O/S Office Service East Residential-Oakpointe PD Low Density of Eagan Residential (0-4 units/acre West I -35E EVALUATION OF REQUEST City Code Requirements Properties within the Galaxie Cliff Plaza Addition Planned Development are subject to City Code requirements. The City Code requires that pylon signs (freestanding business signs over 7 feet high) may not exceed 27 feet. in height and are limited to 125 square feet of sign area per side. An on -premises pylon sign for identification purposes is allowed as a Conditional Use for a Planning Report — Park Nicollet Pylon Sign PD Amendment June 27, 2006 Page 3 business sign located directly adjacent to a freeway within the City. Any business that acquires a permit to erect a pylon sign for freeway identification may be allowed an additional freestanding ground sign to be located on the side of the property opposite of the freeway. Existing Signage The Park Nicollet facility has front building signage that faces Plaza Dr and a large building sign located on a wall used to screen mechanical equipment located above the roof line of the building. City sign permit records indicate there was discussion regarding the validity of this sign. It appears the sign may have been permitted in error because the sign is located above the roof line, which is not allowed by City Code. If a pylon sign is approved for this site, it should serve as a replacement to the exiting building signage located on the mechanical screening wall. Mature landscaping partially obscures the existing building signage when viewed from I -35E. Progosed Sign The applicant has stated that a pylon sign is desired at their facility to provide better visibility for both patient direction and marketing purposes. The applicant believes the Plaza Drive location makes it difficult for patients to find their location from Galaxie Avenue and they have no other marketing fagade. The applicant indicates that the existing sign is not visible to I -35E traffic until the Cliff Road exit is passed and provides limited visibility from Cliff Road. The applicant believes a pylon sign will help direct patients off the Cliff Road exit and provide better visibility _.similar--to.the-Burnet_Realty..sign..located_on.the_adjacentproperty__to.the.north.._____..___ .__. The applicant is proposing to locate a pylon sign in northwest area of the property along the I - 35E right-of-way. There is an area of approximately 10 feet available within this location that meets the 300 -foot spacing requirement between pylon signs. The proposed sign measures 27 feet high and has a sign area measuring 128 square feet per side, 3 square feet above the 125 square foot per side limit. Landscape/Tree removal In order to accomplish spacing requirements, the sign would need to be located in an area that currently contains mature landscaping and trees. This landscaping would be removed to accommodate both the location and visibility of the proposed sign. Replacement landscaping should be required near this location that would accomplish its intended purpose of screening the parking area. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Park Nicollet is requesting approval of a pylon sign located in the northwest area of their property to assist with patient direction and marketability of their facility. The proposed sign meets City Code requirements with the exception of the sign face size requirements. In 1997, a similar application requesting a pylon sign at this location was denied. It appears the sign was denied because a majority of the City Council believed the existing signage was adequate for the site and they did not want to see a proliferation of pylon signs along I -35E.

We have outlined below the reason for the additional sign to compete in today's business climate. The large wall sign seemed adequate at the time the clinic was built, but we now realize its shortcomings. When surveyed, our patients indicated how difficult it was to find the clinic or commented that they never realized a clinic was located at Cliff Road. and 35E. _ .-__.In_the-past-fe_w.years, hospitals andclincs have stepped up their marketing efforts because of - - - ---- increased competition. More and more, we are turning into a store -front retail marketing business and rely heavily on signs, advertising, marketing literature, and billboards to grow our client base. An easy way to help illustrate our point is to compare the signage of our clinic to the Burnet Realty signage next door, so we will use that as a reference throughout this discussion. Northbound 35E - As you travel northbound on the Interstate, a grove of trees blocks the view of our clinic. As you pass the trees, you are beyond the Cliff Road exit. Additionally, the only way you can see the existing wall sign is to look up and to the right. Most drivers never notice the sign from this direction. The Burnet Realty pylon, positioned perpendicular to the Interstate, is very visible to northbound traffic. We believe a tall pylon sign will help direct patients off the exit. Southbound 35E - From this direction, the Burnet Realty wall sign (about 30 feet above the ground) and the Burnet Realty pylon sign are visible peeking above the Cliff Road overpass. As you pass under the bridge, you again are due west of the clinic and never notice the wall sign. Again, a tall pylon sign will do a better job of catching the traveler's attention.

The Burnet Realty pylon sign is visible as you near the overpass. A pylon sign for our clinic would also be visible to people traveling west on Cliff Road. Difficult Location on Plaza Drive - Because of the difficulty directing patients onto Plaza Drive, we believe the pylon will "mark" the location in the patient's mind and help them find the clinic. No Other Marketable Facade - Since there is virtually no traffic through Plaza Drive, except for the patients who already know where the clinic is located, the I -35E facade is the only publicly visible side of the site informing thousands of travelers everyday of our presence. In addition, we do not have a major sign presence on Plaza Drive which I am sure your ordinance allows. Therefore, we must put that signage exposure on the pylon sign on the highway side. I hope you understand our situation and will work with us to correct this major problem for us and our patients. If you have any questions, please feel free to call meat 952-993-3029.

Jon Hohenstein, Secretary/Deputy Executive Director Agenda Memo Eagan City Council Meeting July 6, 2006 2. CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT — SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE ALL AMERICAN RECREATION PROPERTY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To schedule a public hearing on August 3, 2006 to consider the use of eminent domain for the acquisition of the All American Recreation property at 3820 Sibley Memorial Highway and direct staff to notify the property owner and the tenant of the meeting. FACTS: • The City has taken steps to bring about the redevelopment of the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area, including public improvements, environmental reviews, comprehensive plan and zoning modifications and the execution of development agreements that are resulting in the construction of new private development consistent with the City's plans. • As the process leading up to the redevelopment of the area has been going on, the City has considered the acquisition of properties, in which there_ is a willing seller. • With respect to the All American Recreation property, staff has discussed the possible acquisition of the property with its owner, Jerry Schlitz, doing business as JR Mega Inc. • In keeping with its past practice, the City asked Mr. Schlitz if he would be interested in preparing an appraisal of the value of the property on which to base negotiations for purchase. In lieu of doing so, in February, Mr. Schlitz sent correspondence asking the City to make an offer for his property. • The City had an appraisal prepared and, on its basis, an offer of $1.25 million was made to Mr. Schlitz for the property. Mr. Schlitz has responded that he believes that the offer is insufficient, but he has not made a counteroffer or submitted appraisal information that would provide the basis for further negotiation. • As a consequence, staff and the City Attorney are requesting that the EDA consider the scheduling of a public hearing to determine whether to proceed with eminent domain to bring about the acquisition of the property. To permit time for proper written and published notice, the next available date for the hearing would be on August 13, 2006.

I understand that the City Council will be addressing possible changes in Eagan's Ordinance as it regards owning and raising pigeons in Eagan. I wanted you to know that not much has changed next door: Mr. Dao's pigeons continue to land on surrounding properties when he releases them. Last week John Johnson, the president of the MN Pigeon Association (?) was over at Mr. Dao's home viewing his coop and giving them suggestions and advice in how they keep the pigeons. He then came to my house and told me that he is trying to help Mr. Dao and that he hopes ge us able to keep his pigeons. Mr. Johnson also told me that Mr. Dao has baby pigeons as well. as adult pigeons. I asked him why would Mr. Dao want baby pigeons? Mr. Johnson said he doesn't know, he said. maybe he plans to "sell" them or replace some of the older pigeons. He also told me that the coop itself is very clean, which I am thankful for. Mr. Johnson also acknowledged, based on the information he gained by visiting Mr. Dao's home and hearing how he has been "harboring" them, that they are a problem. But he no doubt is an advocate for Mr. Dao. He also lives in Lino Lakes. •In any event, I let Mr. Johnson know that I am not in favor of the pigeons remaining next door and he knows my position. I anticipate that Mr. Johnson will be at the meeting -tomorrow and that he will want to address the Council. Is there any more information from the surrounding homeowners that would be helpful for the Council for tomorrow's meeting? I plan to be there but can't see asking to speak unless the Council is looking for more or new information, which there is neither. Denise • Denise L.

BATC submits this motion for two purposes: (1) to support the Petition for Review of Decision of the Court of Appeals filed by Wensmann Realty, Inc., and Rahn Family LP (collectively "Petitioners"), and (2) to obtain leave from the Court to participate fin Cher in this matter as an amicus curiae should the Supreme Court grant the Petition for Review. This motion is based on all of the files and proceedings in the District Court and the Court of Appeals in this matter, including specifically the Order of the Minnesota Court of Appeals of July 1, 2005 granting BATC's request for leave to participate in that appeal as an amicus curiae. The granting of both Petitioners' Petition and BATC's • motion for leave to participate as an amicus curiae are justified for the following reasons. P P J g Several of the criteria for granting discretionary review set forth in Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 117, subd. 2, exist in this matter. The question presented, relating to whether the City of Eagan committed a regulatory taking in refusing to amend its comprehensive plan in response to overwhelming evidence that the only permitted use of the property could no longer be operated profitably as a private enterprise, is an important one upon which the Supreme Court should rule. This Court expressly recognized that a city's comprehensive planning decision might lead to a regulatory takings claim in Mendota Golf. LLP v. City of Mendota Heights, 708 N.W.2d 162, 182 n.14 (Minn. 2006) (noting ' In accordance with Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 129.03, BATC hereby certifies that its counsel authored this whole motion and that no person or entity, other than BATC itself, has made a monetary contribution to the preparation of the submission of this motion. 4 .. J that no takings claim was asserted in that action). The Court of Appeals' decision on • Petitioners' takings claim is at variance with several decisions from this Court and the United States Supreme Court, and justifies the exercise of this Court's supervisory powers. Finally, a decision by this Court on the regulatory takings issue would help to develop, clarify, or harmonize the law, providing needed guidance to both public and private entities who often face this issue as Minnesota's population continues to grow. BATC, formed in 1948 as a small group of builders, today has over 1,850 members, including developers, builders, remodelers, subcontractors, suppliers and others. BATC works to provide a diverse selection of quality and affordable housing. Among other things, BATC focuses on the land supply in the Twin Cities, participating in the public discussion about housing affordability and land redevelopment. BATC's interest in this litigation is therefore both public and private in nature. • BATC's interest in this case arises out of the City's denial of Petitioners' request to amend the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan to allow low-density residential development of the property, based upon a showing that continued operation of the property as a golf course had become economically unviable, making it impossible for Petitioners to realize any return on their investment in the subject property. The City's stated reasons for denying the amendment centered on the City's desire to preserve the subject property as open, recreational space. within the City — relying on the City's power to provide parks and open space for its citizens. Under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment, however, no city may take private property for a public purpose without paying just compensation to the property owner. 2 0 • BATC's members rely on the availability of appropriate amendments to change land uses from open space or other uses to residential, in order to provide the new housing needed to accommodate the growing population in the metropolitan area. Furthermore, they rely on such amendments to permit new, economically viable uses where, due to changed circumstances, the previously permitted use of specific property has become economically unsustainable. Such amendments are especially appropriate to allow InfilP' of close -in suburbs, such as Eagan, rather than forcing persons desiring to purchase a new home to move to the metropolitan fringe, requiring larger public investments in new roads, sewers, and other infrastructure. BATC's members also rely on the fair application of a city's rules for dedication of park land, such that no individual landowner will bear a disproportionate burden in supplying the land deemed necessary by a cityfor its citizens' recreational activities. No single owner should be required to g dedicate land, without compensation, to a recreational use for the benefit of the public, where that use has become economically unsustainable as a privately -operated business, and the city refuses to permit any other use of the property.. BATC offers a development and public policy perspective on the issues presented in this case. BATC's concern is with the honoring of investment -backed expectations as well as with the. viability of the amendment process to change permitted uses in response to changed circumstances. BATC is also concerned that the City in this case effectively secured land as long-term recreational open space, at the expense of the property owner, without going through the process of acquiring the property itself, in violation of the • Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. BATC submits that the Court of Appeals erroneously found that the City's denial of a comprehensive plan amendment did not amount to a taking under Penn Central Transp. Co. v. New York City, 438 U.S. 104 (1978), Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, 505 UIS. 1003, 1015 (1992), and I McShane v. City of Faribault, 292 N.W.2d 253 (Minn. 11980). The interpretation of these cases and the application of the regulatory takings framework to the comprehensive planning process both raise significant questions of concern to BATC's members. The purpose of the Takings Clause is to keep the Igovemment from "forcing some people alone to bear public burdens which, in all fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a whole." Armstrong v. United States, 364 U.S. 40, 49 (1960). Here, the Court of Appeals has turned that purpose on its head, holding instead that because of "the city's broad and substantial interests" in adopting a comprehensive plan, "any harm to the individual property owner in maintaining the existing restriction does not appear to be one that should be borne by the entire community." Pet. App. 30. The City sought to maintain the designation of this property as a golf course based on its "`legitimate interests in protecting open and recreational space ...."' Pet. App. 25,uy otinQ Mendota Golf, 708 N.W.2d at 181. While the City has a "legitimate interest" in providing public recreational opportunities, the Court of Appeals improperly permitted the City to force an individual property owner to bear the cost of meeting that public purpose. As this Court held in McShane, "where land use regulations ... are designed to benefit a specific public or governmental enterprise, there must be compensation to landowners whose property has suffered a substantial and measurable decline in market value as a result of the regulations." 292 N.W.2d at 258-59. The Court of Appeals' 4 ii • • • decision in this case overlooked that Penn Central and McShane do not require a finding that property has become valueless as a. result of gbvernmental regulation in order to constitute a taking; what they require is a showing of a substantial and measurable loss of value. Petitioners' undisputed evidence met that standard, and should have resulted in a decision that the City's refusal to amend its comprehensive plan caused serious economic , injury to Respondents, compensable under the Takings Clause. The Court of Appeals' decision also raises issues concerning whether a city may, effectively, impose a disproportionate park dedication requirement through insisting that a single landowner's property must remain available as open space for others to use, even where that use is no longer economically viable. See Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 20(a) - ("The [park) fee or dedication must bear a rough proportionality to the need created by the proposed subdivision or development."); Collis v. City of Bloomin on, 310 Minn. 5, 246 N.W.2d 19, 26 (1976) (state's park dedication statute does not violate the Takings Clause, provided that dedication requirement is not administered arbitrarily or unfairly). In sum, BATC respectfully requests leave to appear as an amicus curiae, and requests that this Court grant review to consider the important issues raised in this case.

The hearing officer under the policy is the Inver Grove Heights City Attorney. That office is in the process of requesting detailed background on the claim from TMI, which will be necessary before they can schedule a hearing date. • McGongh Office Project — The developer has asked for an additional two weeks to see whether they can reach agreements for private acquisition of any of the remaining private properties in the area. If that is unsuccessful, the City Attorney's office is prepared to proceed with notices to the owners of the City's intent to acquire the properties under the. Council's previous authorization. The City Attorney's office has had appraisals of the property prepared and is in a position proceed. • Hwy 55 Parcels — Greg Miller of Interstate Partners has approached staff regarding their negotiations to acquire the Cheney property and a portion of the DART Transit property in that part of the District south of Hwy 55 for possible redevelopment as- an office showroom product similar to Grand Oak 6. If the negotiations are successful, Interstate would ask the City to consider assistance with the acquisition of the motel property and the installation of public improvements in the area. The concept plan does not include the Hose -Conveyor building or the two DART parcels closest to the Hwy 55-149 intersection.

PROJECT 778, TH 149 - STREET UPGRADE ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve a Record of Decision for Environmental Assessment/Worksheet for Project 778 (Trunk Highway 149 — Street Upgrade) of a Negative Declaration on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). FACTS: Project 778 provides for the upgrade of Trunk Highway (TH) 149, beginning at TH 55 and terminating in Inver Grove Heights at Albano Trail, south of Rich Valley Blvd. (Co. Rd. 71). The proposed project upgrades TH 149 to a 4 -lane divided roadway, with an urban curb & gutter section north of Yankee Doodle Road and rural ditch section to the south, a new traffic signal at the intersection of Wescott Road, and a trail along the east side north of Wescott Rd. • On April 5, 2005, the City Council closed the public hearing and approved rolect 778. The final plans and specifications are nearing completion with MnDOT's anticipated approval. The acquisition of right-of-way and easements from 42 properties is proceeding in anticipation of Fall 2006 construction for private utility relocations and 2007 for the major highway upgrade. • With TH 149 under MnDO I ,lues do ion, 11166 cons con re a e ac vi des must meet State environmental approval requirements. Similarly, the $6.0 million of Federal funding requires that all construction related activities must meet Federal environmental approval requirements, as well.

For=this project,--a-----------.---- combined document covering both requirements has been prepared. • Mailed notices were published in the legal newspaper and sent to adjacent property owners in Eagan inviting them to a public hearing to comment on the purpose, need, and anticipated social, economic, and environmental impacts of the project. • On June 6, 2006, the City Council held a formal public hearing during the 30 -day public review period as required by the Environmental Assessment process. The review period ended June 21, 2006. No comments from the general public were received during the 30 -day review period nor at the public hearing.

This document has also been posted on the City's web site for quick reference and review. • Based on the documentation of impacts in the EA, the comments received in response to the public hearing and the public comment period, and the Council's resolution of Negative Declaration, the Minnesota Department of Transportation will recommend that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) prepare a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for this project.

City Clerk Agenda Information Memo July 6, 2006 Eagan City Council Meeting G. BAFFIN TRAIL - STREET NAME CHANGE ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve Street Name Change of Baffin Trail/Delaware Trail to Argenta Trail. FACTS: • Baffin Trail (formerly County Road 63) connects State Trunk Highway (TH) 149, at the intersection of Wescott Road, to Opperman Drive along our corporate border with Inver Grove Heights. It then becomes Argenta Trail as the roadway continues north through Inver Grove Heights and then changes to Delaware Trail at the Sunfish Lake/Mendota Heights border. Only the west half of the roadway lies within the City of Eagan as it runs along the common border with Inver Grove Heights between Wescott Road and Opperman Drive. • In April 2005, Dakota County officially vacated and turned backthe jurisdictional ownerslup and related maintenance responsibility for that portion of County Road 63 from TH 149 to the newly extended Yankee Doodle Road (CSAR 28) through the cities of Eagan and Inver Grove Heights. • On April 5, 2005, the City Council approved the upgrade of TH 149 to a 4 -lane divided roadway, reducing the existing full accesses to 6gW-iijrn-gW-o-ut m number of local businesses. The businesses located along TH 149 between Opperman Dr & Wescott Rd will want to direct deliveries via Opperman Drive and Baffin Trail, to accommodate full directional movement of goods and supplies. • The multiple street name designation for existing and former sections of Co. Rd. 63 (Baffin ---------Trail,—Argenta--`!'rail & Delaware Trail) -do -not -provide for -clear -directions for -alter -nate-- routing access. Business representatives also voiced concern over the confusion of the Baffin Trail street name for such, a short.segment of what appears to be a continuation of Argenta Trail. • City staff also discovered the sole Eagan resident on Baffin Trail (at the intersection of Opperman Dr) had chosen a street address of Delaware Trail, even though Delaware Trail does not officially exist in Eagan or Inver Grove Heights and doesn't show up on either city's map. This parcel was the only property in Eagan or Inver Grove Heights that had a Delaware Trail address. • Both Eagan and Inver Grove Heights city staff have communicated the proposed street name change (Baffin Trail to Argenta Trail) to affected property owners along this road segment and received no objections. • On June 26, 2006, the Inver Grove Heights City Council approved the name change of the segment of roadway between TH 149/Wescott Road and Opperman Drive from Baffin Trail to Argenta Trail. • Public Works staff has reviewed the proposed street name change and finds it appropriate for similar Council action. • Upon approval, staff will contact the Eagan Post Office to confirm that they will, as in the past, allow a dual name designation for a one-year transition for mail delivery.

Certainly it is important to emergency ve c e delivery vehicles, and visitors to residents in the neighborhood that it be as easy as possible to locate addresses in the neighborhood. We do of feel a change to Baffin Trail is in the best interests of the community. Instead, we propose that Eagan follow the lead of the City of inver Grove the name of Argenta Trail along the street now known as Delaware Trail through to Highway 149. This would provide continuity for the entire stretch of roadway between major crossroads.

RECEIVED MAR 2 0 2006 31 June 29, 2006 City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122-1810 To Whom It May Concern: I would like to request an extension for final plat approval of Kennerick Third Addition. The City of Eagan and Dakota County have approved the plat changes. I am seeking a partial release or a consent to plat from CitiMortgage regarding the lot lines affecting Lot One, Block Two and Outlot C of Kennerick Second Addition. CitiMortgage had approved the partial release until the appraisal came in with an inappropriately low value, especially in relation to one I had done just last summer. I will need another set of appraisals done before final approval. I am seeking a 90 day extension as the process seems to be quite slow. I am continuing to work with CityMortgage to resolve these issues.

ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Continue indefinitely consideration of the sale of remnant City property (Parcel 10-03600-020-82) to Revestors, Inc. to allow for further negotiations. FACTS 1995, the City acquired property. (Parcel 10-03600-020-82) that was severed from the remainder of the property to the north by the Red Pine Lane right-of-way. • The property is approximately 30,500 sq. ft. (0.7 ac) and of a configuration that makes it difficult to be developed on its own. • Revestors, fnc. has reeeived preliminary subdivision and plumed development appr-eval on property ("Red Pine Crossing") adjacent to this remnant property. • Revestors, Inc. desires to purchase the property from the City and incorporate it into the Red Pine Crossing development to help meet density and setback requirements. • Given the unsuitability of stand-alone development of the property, it would be in the unlikely, that these negotiations will be completed by July 6, necessitating this continuance and further negotiation discussions by the Council in a closed session.

UMO.11� Metropolitan Council Building communities that work , S June 21, 2006 Pam Dudziak, Planner City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 RE: City of Eagan, Comprehensive Plan Amendment Nature's Point; Administrative Review Metropolitan Council Review No. 18274-18 Metropolitan Council District 15 Dear Ms. Dudziak: The Metropolitan Council received the City's comprehensive plan amendment (CPA) on May 31, 2006. The amendment proposes to reguide 4.34 acres from Quasi-Public/Institutional (QP), to Low Density Residential (LDR). The amendment site is located west of I -35E and south of Deerwood Drive. The site's two existing homes will be replaced with the proposed 28 twin homes. The Metropolitan Council has identified certain types of local comprehensive plan amendments that may be reviewed by Council staff without further formal review by the governing body of the Council. These criteria include conformance with regional systems, consistency with Council policies, and a commitment by the community to address previous comprehensive plan review issues raised by the Metropolitan Council. Council staff finds that the amendment meets the Council's plan review waiver criteria and is in conformance with metropolitan system plans, consistent with the 2030 Regional Development Framework, and has no impact on the plans of other units of local government. Therefore, the City may place this amendment into effect immediately. The amendment, explanatory materials and the information submission form will be appended to the City's Plan in the Council's files.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11. 50, Subdivision 3, B., 3, states that the Council'may approve, approve with conditions or deny a request for a variance. In considering all requests for a variance, City Council shall consider the following factors: a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity, and result from lot size or shape, topography, or other circumstances over which the owners of property have no control. b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Code would deprive the applicant property use commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the provisions of this Code. c. That special conditions or circumstances do not result from actions of the applicant. d. That granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. yL3 e. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this Code or to property in the same zone. CODE REQUIREMENTS Section 11.60 subdivision 5E bulk standards in the R-1 district, limits building coverage to 20 percent maximum. BACKGROUNDMISTORY The subject property was platted in 1994 as Lot 3, Block 1, Galaxie Hill Oaks. EXISTING CONDITIONS The lot has been developed with a 2,073 square foot single family house with an 800 square foot attached garage. The lot is 13,359 square feet; the existing building coverage is 21.5 percent. APPLICANT'S ESTIMATE OF HARDSHIP --- -The applicant-dssigned their house iri1998-fo incline a space for a fixture 3=4 season porch. ------ According to the narrative, the applicant was led to believe the future 3-4 season porch would work in the proposed location with no issues, had they known at the time they would have reduced the garage size in preparation of the porch addition. The applicant indicates the back of the house looks unfinished and the proposed addition would complete the house. The addition will not impede on anyone as there are mature trees surrounding the backyard. EVALUATION OF REQUEST The subject lot is 13,359 square feet the existing house and garage are 2,873 square feet in area, resulting in a 21.5 percent coverage area. The proposed addition is 163 square feet resulting in a 22.7 percent coverage area. The existing house and garage exceed building coverage limitations by 1.5 percent and the proposed porch would increase the coverage to 22.7 percent. It is unclear why building coverage limitations were not discussed with the applicant in the past, but the house and proposed addition exceed limitations. The rear of the house is screened by mature trees; the proposed addition most likely would not be visible from off the property. The area the applicant describes as "unfinished" is the logical location for an addition. In that a doorway to the outside exists. The proposed addition will match the existing home design and finish. 44 The zoning code defines hardship as a situation where property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the conditions allowed by the official controls where the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to this property, not created by the landowner. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute a hardship if a reasonable use for the property exists under terms of the official controls. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The subject site is the retirement home for the applicant and was designed to allow a future 3-4 season porch at the rear of the house. The applicant planned to finish the house in phases with the porch being the last phase. The applicant has been unaware of the building coverage limitations until the most recent inquiry. The applicant's house and garage already exceed building coverage by 1.5 percent (without any variances). The addition is not visible from the street and will have limited visibility from adjacent properties. City Policy Makers will need to determine if an adequate hardship has been presented and that the factors for considering a variance are applicable. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To approve a 2.7 percent Variance to the 20 percent building coverage requirement for a 163 square foot porch addition for property located at 1746 Galaxie Court in the NE'/a of Section 32. --- - --- If approved the following conditions apply: _-__------ -----.--- -------- 1. ----- 1. If within one year after approval, the variance shall not have been completed or utilized, it shall become null and void unless a petition for extension has-been granted by the council. Such extension shall be requested in writing at least 30 days before expiration and shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or utilize the use permitted in the variance. 2. Total building coverage shall not exceed 22.7 percent. 45 TO: Mayor Geagan, Peggy Carlson, Cyndee Fields, Mike McGuire, Meg Tilley FROM: Art and Char Lunow, 1746 Galaxie Court, Eagan, Minnesota 55122, 651-994-8940 REGARDING: Our request for a hard surface variance to build a screen porch on our home in the empty space where it was planned and designed to be built seven years ago. We hope to begin construction in July 2006, simultaneously with completing our lower level, finishing in October 2006. We request your approval of this variance based upon the following facts, needs, reasons, hardships, and considerations: --When we planned our retirement home 10 years ago, it included what we had long wanted but never had: a seasonal porch (and deck). --When we built our home from 10-98 to 3-99, financially unable to complete everything, we left the lower level unfinished, along with the clearly defined empty space between the kitchen and dinette (at the back corner of the house) where the porch and deck were carefully planned and designed to be built. Our builder assured us that this could be done at any time in the future. --On 6/3/06 our builder, John Symington, told us: "The city of Eagan was very careful and thorough to be sure everything was done right before your home was approved. All the surveys were done, and approval was obtained from the Park Board, Building and Forestry departments, and the Planning Checker Worker. We had plenty of space on the lot, and `hard surface' was never an issue on your house or any of the other houses I built in Eagan." --In the summer of 2004, as we began interviewing contractors to finish our lower level, porch; and deck, several of our potential builders and I contacted Eagan's departments of Building Inspection and Engineering to find out the requirements for a 3 or 4 season or screen porch, ancf deck. After some initial uncertainty they told us there was a setback requirement of 15 feet for the porch and 5 feet for the deck. Several times I asked if there were any other requirements we should know about, and the answer was "No." At no time; in response to my several inquiries and those of our potential builders, were "hard surface" limitations ever mentioned. --The first time any of us heard there was a "hard surface" issue regarding our home was in the fall of 2005 when Eagan City Engineer Mike Lence, helping us with some other building related questions, totally surprised us with the news that we would need a variance to be able to build our porch because our home was slightly over the 20% allowed. Why were neither the builder nor we informed of this before the house was approved and built in 1999? Mike did not know. --After 7 years of waiting to finish our home and finally being able to do it, it has been extremely difficult because: 1) We and our builder did everything required of us, 2) Our home was approved by the city 7 years ago, 3) We had an obvious and specifically designed plan for where the porch and deck would be built later, 4) We knew nothing about a "hard surface" issue until last fall, six years late. 5) Our carefully made plans for a porch and deck are now in jeopardy and dependent on a -variance, because of something we did not know, 6) Had we or the builder known, or been informed prior to the approval and building of our home in 1999, that we were slightly over the 20% allowed, we would have gladly reduced the size of the garage and storage area so we could now build our porch and deck without the extra work and variance cost of almost $1,000. Unfortunately, we were not given that opportunity. ftE nemen 9002 I Z N(lf GIAI3338 RECEIVED JUN 2 71006 �� 2. --It has been difficult to look at the unattractive, unfinished roof and gaping space at the back "uncomer" of our home (something all builders have said looks "unfinished", "weird", and is the one major negative and resale obstacle to our otherwise attractive home), and to realize that without a variance, it will always be an unfinished, strange -looking, architectural "eyesore". --It has been difficult looking out a permanently locked kitchen door to a 10 foot drop-off, also seeing an expensive retaining wall built seven years ago to provide a walkway to our x deck which. can never be built and used as designed, unless a variance is granted. --Surrounded by woods with a mosquito -breeding jungle of buckthorn and standing water, itilc difficult not to be allowed a screened -in -porch to protect us and our family from disease-carryi mosquitoes, wasps, and bugs which quickly drive us indoors and away from fully enjoying ou' wonderful three -seasons of outdoor meals, beautiful evenings, and .family time. --Another factor in support of the variance, we believe, is that our porch, if allowed, is now 'and will continue to be surrounded.by a dense and spacious woodland to the entire southeast side', of us, where the porch is planned to be. Even the nearest home, the Klein's, in the planned newt development northeast, of us will be a considerable distance from us and so well -screened by thick woodland that our porch will likely not even be visible to them. At present, our planned porch and deck are about 150 feet away from the home on Karis Way nearest our porch. A few homes on the east and south sides of us have limited and distant views of our porch and home. Virtually 100% of all other homes to our south, west, and north who have been sent this request for variance notice, cannot even see our porch or home from their domes. In ad with just a few left to contact, we have found that 23 households are supportive of the variance. --We are not adding or asking that much: only to be permitted to complete a screen porch of 163 square feet (approximately 12 x 13) exactly in the unfinished space and empty corner where itl was designed to be built 7 years ago. It is my understanding that this will increase our hard surface by 1.2% over what was previously approved when our home was built in 1999. --We will be in full compliance with all set -back requirements, and the space beneath the porc will remain open, with no foundation and no increase in the size of the lower level. We believ� that allowing this variance will be detrimental to no one, and will be a positive improvement and benefit to us, our neighborhood, community, tax base, and property values. I --If our requested variance is not approved, the only other alternative we can think of would be to seek to purchase some property from one of our neighbors so a variance would not be necessary. But that seems totally impractical, impossible, and an additional hardship we could not handle.) OUR HOPE IS THAT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE UNIQUE DIFFICULTIES AND HARDSHIPS WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH, THAT YOU WILL APPROVE OUR VARIANCE, AND WILL GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO FINISH AND FULLY ENJOY THE SCREEN PORCH (AND DECK) WE HAVE PLANNED AND LOOKED FORWARD' TO FOR MANY YEARS.

OLD BUSINESS A. ORDINANCE AMENDMENT — AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EAGAN, MINNESOTA, AMENDING EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER 10 ENTITLED "PUBLIC PROTECTION. CRIMES AND OFFENSES" BY AMENDING SECTION 10.12, SUBD. 7(D), REGARDING REGULATION OF HARBORING CARRIER PIGEONS: AND BY ADOPTING BY REFERENCE EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER 1 AND SECTION 10.99 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve an ordinance amendment amending Eagan City Code Chapter 10 entitled "Public Protection, Crimes and Offenses" by amending Section 10.12, Subd. 7(d), regarding regulation of harboring carrier pigeons; and by adopting by reference Eagan City Code Chapter 1 and Section 10.99. FACTS: ➢ On February 21, 2006 the City Council denied a license for the harboring of pigeons at 3880 Princeton Trail and directed the removal of the pigeons within 60 days. The Council further directed the preparation of an ordinance amendment that would restrict the harboring of pigeons to agricultural districts provided that the property is five or more acres in size. ➢ The proposed ordinance amendment was considered on March 6, 2006 and continued until such time as more information could be gathered and discussed by the City Council at a workshop. ➢ Based on the advice of the City Attorney's Office, staff recommended and the City Council approved a moratorium ordinance on May 26, 2006 prohibiting consideration of the issuance of pigeon harboring licenses until September 30, 2006 or such sooner time as the City Council may determine. 0 ➢ At the Special City Council meeting held on June 13, 2006 staff and the City Attorney's Office were directed to prepare an ordinance amendment that would require the following additional items before a pigeon harboring license would be issued: 1. The owner of the pigeons must be a member in good standing of an organized pigeon club. By inference this suggests that the applicant must be the owner of the pigeons. The proposed ordinance also requires the applicant to be the property owner. 2.. A minimum lot size would be added to the ordinance. Staff is suggesting a minimum lot size of'h acre and that is written in the proposed ordinance. That minimum lot size will have the effect of prohibiting pigeon licenses in residential neighborhoods with densities greater than two units per acre. This would exclude the use from most properties in the more urbanized areas of the City, while licenses may continue to be considered on larger lots and in less urbanized areas. 3. A one year licensing period which is already proved for in the Code and therefore requires no change. ➢ Consideration of the proposed ordinance amendment was specifically directed.by_the_ City Council to the July 6, 2006 regular meeting, __ therefore no additional notice has been provided to potential applicants or to representatives of the pigeon clubs. ➢ Assuming approval of the proposed amendment, action to lift the moratorium on prohibiting consideration of the issuance of pigeon harboring licenses will be scheduled for the July 18 meeting. ➢ Also upon approval of the ordinance amendment, all necessary steps to enforce the City Council's directive to have the pigeons removed from 3880 Princeton Trail will be undertaken.

The City Council of the City of Eagan does ordain: Section 1. Eagan City Code Chapter 10 is hereby amended by changing 10. 12, Subd. 7(D) to read as follows: D. Granting or denying issuance of permit. The council may, as provided in this subdivision, grant or refuse to grant a permit hereunder. The council may refuse to grant a permit hereunder for any of the following reasons: 1. The application is incomplete and contains false, fraudulent or deceptive statements. 2.

ATTEST: By: Maria Petersen Its: City Clerk Date Ordinance Adopted: CITY OF EAGAN City Council By: Pat Geagan Its: Mayor Date Ordinance Published in the Legal Newspaper: 51 Agenda Information Memo July 6, 2006 Eagan City Council B PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT — JOE KOHAUT (VIVA ITALIA ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve (or reject) the request for a modification to the conditions regarding reserved parking signs in conjunction with PD Amendment to add patio dining to the Viva Italia restaurant at the Centennial Ridge retail building at 1629 Lena Court in the NW '/a of Section 28. FACTS: ➢ On June 6, 2006, the City approved a Planned Development Amendment to allow outside dining on the west side of the building in conjunction with the Viva Italia restaurant. ➢ One of the conditions of. approval was that signs reserving parking for specific businesses in the Centennial Ridge shopping center be removed. The applicant is requesting that this condition be removed from the patio dining approval. ➢ The applicant indicates that the reserved parking signs were installed as a condition of the leases with certain of the tenants to insure the availability of spaces for customers close to their businesses, in light of the popularity of the restaurant use. The applicant has stated that they have approached the tenants about removing the reserved parking signs, and ---_------.---they-have_been-unwilling_to amend_their-leases.---- -------------------------------.------- ➢ When the Centennial Ridge development was initially approved, the City required a cross -easement for ingress/egress over this lot, and the adjacent lot to the east, since access to both lots was provided from Johnny Cake Ridge Road. ➢ In 2004, a PD Amendment was approved for this site allowing on -sale liquor and joint parking associated with a Class I restaurant, Viva Italia. ➢ The joint parking was necessary because with the restaurant, the required parking for the retail building exceeded the number of parking stalls on the lot. At the time, Viva proposed the joint parking since the cross -easement was in'place and their peak hours of business were at different times of the day. The City approved the use of joint parking. ➢ In addition, proof of parking for up to 11 parking stalls was identified on the plans. These stalls were to be constructed at the Owner's expense in the event the City determines that additional parking is needed. ➢ The City attorney has opined that the reserved parking violates the cross parking agreement and without the removal of the reserved parking signs, each lot in Centennial Ridge 2nd Addition is required under the City Code to provide the necessary parking for the tenants located on the lot.

One condition of the approval requires that the eight parkiag sialt signs, in favor of Fantastic Sams be :....._....... . .... ..._............ _.._........_ ... ... , ._..._. ..... _......_ _..._.... _ .. . _._... removed. The eigirt parking stalls were grunted to the tenant, Good Hair Day, d1Wa Fantastic Sams, as an amendment to the lease between the ten=t and previous landlord, Commercial Property i Development Company LLC, on June 23, 2004. As an aside, Centennial Ridge 201 Addition was sold { to Centennial Ridge, LLC in June 2006, who has assuaged the current leases. i -- 1 have spoken to the owner of Fantastic Sanas requesting cooperation on this matter, but unfortunately the owner is not willing to remove the signage. Viva Italia is eager to start the installation of the patio, but construction can not commence until the condition of approval is met. . Therefore, Viva Italia would like to request that the condition be reconsidered for removal from our approval to construct the outdoor patio. As stated at the previous Council meeting, lack ofparking has not been an issue at Centennial Ridge 2�d Addition, and therefore we hope the City Council will work with us in our efforts to add this new amenity to the restaurant for Began residents and guests to enjoy.

REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: At least three votes FACTS: ➢ The site is located on the southeast corner of Diffley Road and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. ➢ An existing multi -tenant retail building which was built in 2004 is present on the site. ➢ Viva Italia, a Class I restaurant, occupies the west end of the building, approximately 4,700 sq. ft. ➢ The applicant proposes to create a patio on the west side of the building, removing existing landscaping in the 6 -foot space between the sidewalk and building, and placing tables along the building. Each table would seat two people. ➢ The patio is proposed to be enclosed by a fence, with access provided from inside the building. ➢ A retractable awning in a color to blend with the brick on the building is also proposed to be installed on the west side of the building over the existing window. The City typically has not considered outside seating in parking calculations. However, the additional seats do have the potential to increase parking demand, at least seasonally. ➢ The restaurant was originally approved with joint use parking for 7 stalls. The City is not currently experiencing any parking problems at the site, however, it may be appropriate for the Council, to consider whether to require installation of some or all of the proof of parking areas identified in 2004. ➢ The Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 23, 2006, and did recommend approval of the Planned Development Amendment. ISSUES: i Since the APC meeting, the applicant has provided additional information on the fence - post lighting and battery powered table lights. ➢ A resident from the neighborhood to the south was present at the APC meeting and spoke against the proposal, stating his concerns about noise, among other things. t�-1T�CH � ANT 6���- i The APC's recommendation was for 7 tables, not 10 as proposed, and called. for the installation of 7 proof -of -parking stalls. The proof of parking plan from 2004 showed two areas for added parking, one with 6 stalls and one with 5 stalls. With the reduced number of tables and fewer outdoor seats, if additional parking is required, the Council may consider having only one of the two proof of parking areas installed.

REQUEST: Planned Development Amendment LOCATION: 1629 Lena Court CASE: 28 -PA -06-04-06 HEARING DATE: May 25, 2006 APPLICATION DATE: April 19, 2006 PREPARED BY: Pamela Dudziak COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: RC, Retail Commercial ZONING: PD, Planned Development SUMMARY OF REQUEST Joe Kohaut of Viva Italia, LLC, is requesting approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow an outside dining patio in conjunction with a Class I restaurant at 1629 Lena Court (southeast corner of Diffley Road and Johnny Cake Ridge Road), legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Centennial Ridge 2nd Addition, in NW 1/a of Section 28. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subdivision 5 states, in part 1. The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the boundaries of any district or changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. 2. The Council shall not rezone any land in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to this chapter without first having referred it to the planning commission for its consideration and recommendation. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The Planned Development and platting was approved in 2003 and the building was constructed in 2004. In 2004, a PD Amendment was approved allowing on -sale liquor and joint parking IS associated with a Class I restaurant, Viva Italia. Planning Report — Viva Italia May 23, 2006 Page 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The property contains a multiple tenant retail building. The restaurant is located on the west end of the building and occupies approximately 4,700 square feet. Seating capacity is 106. The restaurant hours are 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. during the week and 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The original restaurant proposal included outdoor seating, but that was removed from the final plan that the City approved in 2004. While joint use parking for 7 stalls was approved, the City also required proof of parking for additional stalls to be constructed at the Owner's expense in the event the City determines that additional parking is needed. To date, this proof of parking has not been constructed. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposal - The applicant proposes to install an outside dining patio on the west side of the building for the Viva Italia restaurant. The property is currently zoned PD, Planned Development, and is guided RC, Retail Commercial. Site Plan — The applicant is proposing ten outdoor tables, each seating two people. Existing landscaping and rock mulch between the sidewalk and the building on the west side will be removed and the area paved. The applicant's narrative states "Portable pole -mounted lighting will be used to illuminate the patio after dusk for safety purposes." The patio area will be fenced, and a gate installed at the entrance. The "plan provides for a 36 -inch passage area between the fence and the tables, as well as a clear space of 60 inches to meet ADA passage and wheelchair turning space requirements." The submitted site plan shows a 6 -foot width for the patio area, with a four -foot sidewalk outside the fence along the parking lot. Compatibility — The acceptability of the outdoor dining in thislocation is a policy matter to be determined by City officials. The site is located at the intersection of a Diffley Road and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The building and patio are separated from Johnny Cake Ridge Road by the (04 Existing Use Zoning Land Use Designation North Residential Oakbrooke PD, Planned Development LD, Low Density West CVS Pharmacy NB, Neighborhood Business RC, Retail Commercial South Residential (Centennial Ridge) PD, Planned Development MD, Medium Density East Office; Single -Family Residential PD, Planned Development; R-1, Single -Family Residential RC, Retail Commercial, LD, Low Density EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposal - The applicant proposes to install an outside dining patio on the west side of the building for the Viva Italia restaurant. The property is currently zoned PD, Planned Development, and is guided RC, Retail Commercial. Site Plan — The applicant is proposing ten outdoor tables, each seating two people. Existing landscaping and rock mulch between the sidewalk and the building on the west side will be removed and the area paved. The applicant's narrative states "Portable pole -mounted lighting will be used to illuminate the patio after dusk for safety purposes." The patio area will be fenced, and a gate installed at the entrance. The "plan provides for a 36 -inch passage area between the fence and the tables, as well as a clear space of 60 inches to meet ADA passage and wheelchair turning space requirements." The submitted site plan shows a 6 -foot width for the patio area, with a four -foot sidewalk outside the fence along the parking lot. Compatibility — The acceptability of the outdoor dining in thislocation is a policy matter to be determined by City officials. The site is located at the intersection of a Diffley Road and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The building and patio are separated from Johnny Cake Ridge Road by the (04 Planning Report — Viva Italia May 23,. 2006 Page 3 setback and topography, and is screened with landscaping. A residential neighborhood is situated just to the south of this development. A decorative fence delineates the boundary and a buffer of evergreen trees lines the area between the residential and commercial properties.. Building Modifications — A retractable awning in a color to blend in with the brick veneer on the building is proposed over the existing -restaurant window, and includes a drop valance for protection from the afternoon sun. Staff is concerned that portable pole -mounted lights will be cumbersome in the narrow space available. Staff suggested sconce wall -mounted lights be installed instead. The applicant has looked into that and indicated sconce lighting is not feasible. The applicant is now proposing light caps on the fencing, and table -top lights. Details about the light caps and table -top lights should be provided for incorporation into the PD Amendment Agreement. Parking — While the City has not typically figured outdoor seating into parking calculations, the addition of 20 outdoor seats to this restaurant potentially creates a higher parking demand, at least seasonally. 20 seats would require an additional 7 parking stalls. While the City has not recently experienced parking problems at this site, the APC and Council should consider whether the proof of parking should be installed at this time. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION In summary, the applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow outdoor dining in conjunction with a Class I restaurant on property located at 1629 Lena Court. The proposed outdoor dining patio would be located on the west end of the building, enclosed with a decorative wrought iron fence, and be open during suitable weather for restaurant patrons. Staff suggests uses of wall sconce lighting rather than the proposed portable pole -mounted lights. Clear access to the emergency access panel and for the side door must be maintained in accordance with fire safety and other applicable codes and ordinances. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow an outdoor dining patio on the west end of the building at 1629 Lena Court, in conjunction with a Class I restaurant, on property legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Centennial Ridge 2nd Addition. If approved the following conditions shall apply: 1. An Amendment to the Planned Development Agreement shall be executed and recorded. with the Dakota County Recorder's office. 2. Proof of parking areas as identified on the 9/28/04 site plan shall be installed with construction of the patio. 3. The operation of the restaurant and outside dining shall comply and be operated in accordance with all relevant state laws and regulations regarding on -sale liquor. �6 Planning Report — Viva Italia May 23, 2006 Page 4 4. The outdoor dining area shall be, enclosed with a wrought iron fence and gate, accessible from inside the building. The fence and gate shall be similar to the existing fence on the south side of the building. 5. Patio lighting shall be provided by light caps on the fencing and table -top lights.

ADDITIONAL LAND' -ax O . c - %qtr Planned Development Amendment Lot 1, Block 1, Centennial Ridge 2nd Addition Viva Italia Outdoor Seating Request Viva Italia, the traditional Italian restaurant located at 1629 Lena Court in Centennial Ridge, is proposing to add an outdoor seating patio along the west side of the existing restaurant facility. A copy of the Site Plan showing the restaurant location is attached as Exhibit A. Our intent is to complete the necessary improvements as soon as Council approval has been granted so customers will be able to enjoy this new seating option for the remainder of 2006. Our concept sketch includes seven tables, each seating two persons (total of fourteen seats) along the north side of the restaurant's service door, and three tables that will also each seat two persons (total of six seats) on the south side of the service door. We are requesting approval for a total of 20 seats, as shown in Exhibit B. Patio hours will be concurrent with Viva's present hours of operation: 4:OOpm to 10:OOpm Sunday —Thursday, and 4:OOpm to 11:OOpm Friday — Saturday. Portable pole lighting will be used to illuminate the patio after dusk. for safety purposes._ These lights will be used during business hours only. The patio will be surrounded by a fence that will be secured to the concrete surface. A gate will also be installed at the entrance. Our plan provides for a 36 - inch passage area between the fence and the tables, as well as a clear space of 60 -inches to meet ADA passage and wheelchair turning space requirements. Viva Italia also plans to install a retractable awning over the existing restaurant window. Exhibit C shows the west elevation in diagram 2 where the awning will be installed. The awning will include a drop valance feature for additional protection from the late afternoon sun. The awning color will be chosen to blend in with the brick veneer on the building. The proposed awning is shown on Exhibit D. The surrounding land uses and zoning near Viva Italia includes R-1 Single Family Residential, Neighborhood Business, and Planned Development. Impacts to these surrounding properties and land uses will be nominal. The twenty seat addition on the patio area is a relatively low number which will keep the noise to a minimum. The additional lighting will be minor and will only be used during business hours: In the summer of 2005, Manley Land Development installed a row of Black Hills Spruce north of the wrought iron fence that runs along the property line between the residential homes and the 'commercial 71 RECEIVED APR 19 2006 C development. This creates a natural buffer to inhibit noise and generate privacy between the two land uses. Adding outdoor seating at Viva Italia will have a positive impact on the subject property, and will add an additional amenity to the Centennial Ridge commercial area for Eagan residents and visitors to enjoy. This addition to the restaurant would bring in clientele that may not otherwise dine at Viva Italia. City services such as sewer, water, storm water run-off and roads should not be adversely impacted by the addition of this outdoor seating area. This amendment would create a benefit to the public who visit Viva Italia. The current use of the space where the patio is planned to be located consists of a rock -mulched planting bed with shrubbery. The shrubs will be relocated into other planting beds on the site. The installation of a patio will provide a new use to this established restaurant, as it will promote a relaxing dining environment for those who prefer to be outdoors. Exhibit E provides a visual of the patio in it's completion. Viva Italia's intent is to implement this outdoor seating area to enhance our customers' dining experience by providing the option to dine outdoors, which tends to be a very popular choice during the summer months. 72 2 � 2 JOHNNY CAKE RIDGE ROAD | m ■|■ . | ■ |■ILI §■ §� �|� .�|,� a■ � till |■_� | . � {7 � g,|,■ ��| r!x, i§ �k m ■|■ . | ■ |■ILI §■ §� �|� .�|,� a■ � till |■_� | . � EXHIBIT B 14 AMNEY LAND C9ViENN1AL RIDGE wAIvoI; a DEVELOPMENT rr+ WIEY ROAD EAGAK MN W% .:rru�raur■ . - a BURRING #1 • WEST ELkYAmoN mobagm H Ntl*.K.d G -P �Yar� ti n VOA�MMAR fm'om� a m rt nwm n 'r r aoo ar sm a�rma p �r[ruaAivv[ � s�r� 'Zw7• peon x rmm a�u r oro u bma M (�O7 R b I�aa Airy ��OrO mr pe m� a romp mss... .r »r BUILDING #1 EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS All EXHIBIT D Whether you need added living space, solar protection or a i,ray to reduce energy costs, Durasol Offers beautiful, custom-made shading systems that combine function, beauty and value for any home.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Subdivision: City Code Section 13.20 Subd. 6 states that "In the case of platting, the Planning Commission and the Council shall be guided by criteria, including the following, in approving, denying or establishing conditions related thereto: A. That the proposed subdivision does comply with applicable City Code provisions and the Comprehensive Guide Plan. B. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision complies with applicable plans of Dakota County, State of Minnesota, or the Metropolitan Council. C. That the physical characteristics of the site including, but not limited -to, topography, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, water storage and retention are such that the site is suitable for the type of development or use Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 2 contemplated.

That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause health problems. G. That the design of the subdivision or the improvements will not conflict with easements of record or with easements established by judgment of court. H. That completion of the proposed development of the subdivision can be completed in a timely manner so as not to cause an economic burden upon the City for maintenance,. repayment of bonds, or similar burden. I. That the subdivision has been properly planned for possible'solar energy system use within the subdivision or as it relates to adjacent property. (Refer to City Handbook on Solar Access). J. That the design of public improvements for the subdivision is compatible and consistent with the plattingor approved preliminary plat on adjacent lands. K. That the subdivision is in compliance with those standards set forth in that certain document entitled "City of Eagan Water Quality Management Plan for the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Organization" which document is properly approved and filed with the office of the City Clerk hereinafter referred to as the "Water. Quality Management Plan". Said document and all of the notations, references and other information contained therein shall have the same force and effect as if fully set down herein and is hereby made a part of this Chapter by reference and incorporated herein as fully as if set forth herein at length. It shall be the responsibility of the City Clerk to maintain the Water Quality Management Plan and make the same available to the public." BACKGROUND/HISTORY The site consists of a single unplatted parcel. The property is vacant. For several years, a concrete recycling facility operated on this site. The property is currently zoned Planned Development and is designated in the Comprehensive Guide Plan for Limited Industrial land uses. Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 3 EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is open with some wooded areas and a wetland on the east end of the property. The property contains a steep slope up to the west, with otherwise gentle topography sloping. downward to the east. An area in the northern part of the site appears to have been used for Canadian Pacific Railroad line abuts the east side of the battery casing disposal in the past. property, parallel to Hwy. 149. SURROUNDING USES The subject property is surrounded by Industrial and office uses; Gopher Resources and Thomson are the users of the surrounding properties. A city water tower abuts the subject site to the west and is zoned Public Facility. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposal - The applicant proposes to construct three office/warehouse buildings totaling 145,000 sq. ft. on this site. Access to the site is proposed from Yankee Doodle Road. A private easement exists across the site to provide the property to the south (Thomson) access to Yankee Doodle Road. Users are not identified at thislime. The uses should comply with I-1 uses. Final Planned Development review is required for development. Compatibility with Surrounding Area — The site is surrounded by industrial type uses; a--- - -- office/warehouse that is proposed is consistent with the surrounding area. Lots — Three lots and one Outlot are proposed. If the Outlot is not buildable due to steep slopes and easements it should be combined with proposed Lot 1. It is up to the developer to determine if the Outlot is buildable. Lot 1 is 399,041 square feet (9.2 acres), Lot 2 is 241,410 square feet (5.5 acres) Lot 3 is 197,672 square feet (4.5 acres) and the Outlot is 82,380 square feet (1.9 acres). Proposed Lot 3 does not have public street frontage therefore requiring a Variance to Chapter 13.30 Subdivision 8(C) requiring at least 50 feet of public street frontage. Bulk Standards — As a Planned Development deviation from typical zoning bulk standards may be allowed. Simply for the purpose of discussion this proposal is reviewed under the I-1 district minimum and maximum standards. Setbacks — The I-1 setbacks apply, 50 feet from Yankee Doodle Road right-of-way, and 20 feet from the side and rear lot lines, all buildings as proposed meet these requirements. The proposed private street through Lot 1 has a 25 foot setback; the ghost plat for Lot 1 does not meet this requirement as proposed it shows an 18 foot setback. Building Coverage - The I-1 zoning district allows for a maximum of 35 percent building coverage. As proposed each lot meets this requirement. Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 4 \ Building Height — Building height is limited to 40 feet in height in the I-1 district. As proposed the building at its highest point is 33 feet as shown on the Exterior Elevations Plan. Green Space — Green space minimum is 25% of the site in the I-1 district. The Site Plan does not break down the green space per lot but overall the green space is 31.9%. It is not clear if each lot meets this requirement, the applicant should address this issue. With the flexibility of the Planned Development an overall green space calculation could be used, but a minimum for each lot should be established as for a reference for future expansions. Parking_— Overall, the site exceeds parking requirements by 41 stalls (including proof of parking). Lot 1 is shown as possible future development on the Site Plan with office and warehouse uses. Lots 2 and 3 are shown as office/warehouse uses 80% warehouse and 20% office. The parking breakdown is as follows. Lot Required stalls Provided stalls Proof of parking Total stalls 1 154 105 30 135 2 107 98 43 141 3 92 84 34 118 Cross easements are proposed for access and parking could be included in that as well allowing each lot to meet the minimum requirements. Parking setbacks and stall requirements are met. Landscaping — The Landscape Plan appears adequate and meets Ordinance requirements. Trash Enclosure — A trash enclosure is not shown on the Site Plan, all trash and recycling receptacles should be placed within an enclosure either attached or detached from the principal building. The enclosure should meet principal structure setbacks, should be constructed of materials to match the exterior of the principal building, with gates or doors having at least 90% opacity. The enclosure should be no less than six feet and not more than 10 feet in height. Outdoor Storage — Outdoor storage is not proposed at this time which includes any outdoor storage of trucks, trailers, equipment etc. If outdoor storage is necessary for a future tenant a Planned Development Amendment would be required. Grading/ Topography/ Erosion Control — The preliminary grading plan is acceptable. The existing site is generally open and slopes to the east, with elevations ranging from 960 along the west edge of the site to 900 to the east. Grading of the site will require a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency storm water permit for construction activity for developments of more than one acre in size. This development must meet all requirements of this permit. The designer of the erosion/ sediment control plan required under the MPCA permit should be certified through a state erosion/ sediment control design training course, such as offered by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, or a.City-approved equal. EA� Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 5 Storm Drainage — The preliminary storm drainage plan is acceptable with modifications. Storm water runoff from the development is proposed to drain via public storm sewer to a storm water pond to be constructed in the south-central portion of the site. The pond will then flow via pipe to the Canadian Pacific Railroad along the east edge of the site, and ultimately to an existing storm sewer system within Highway 149 right-of-way. The discharge to the railroad right-of-way is proposed to be concentrated in one location at a substantial rate. The developer should reduce the amount of discharge to one point, and provide storm flow energy dissipation so to reduce potential erosion within the railroad right-of-way ditch, as approved by City staff. The developer should construct an outlet skimmer on the proposed storm water basin, in accordance with City standards. Wetlands/Water Quality - The required volume and area of water quality treatment ponds are based on the impervious proportion of proposed developments. The developer proposes to direct a majority (88 percent) of the runoff to an on-site treatment pond that will be constructed. Stormwater from the remaining 13 percent of the site is proposed to drain off-site. A cash dedication in lieu of ponding would be required for this untreated stormwater drainage. At its August 16, 2005 meeting, the Eagan City Council determined a depression area with wetland conditions in southeast corner of the site to be exempt from state replacement requirements Utilities The preliminary utility plan is acceptable with modifications. Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, depth and capacity is available for connection along the. east side ofH ghway This connection connection will require the boring of.a casing pipe under the Canadian Pacific Railroad right-of-way and Highway 149 right-of-way. Water main service of sufficient size and capacity is available from Yankee Doodle Road. Streets/ Access/ Circulation — This site is adjacent to Yankee Doodle Road (County Road 28). Access to the site is via private street proposed to intersect Yankee Doodle Road in direct alignment with the existing access to the north (Gopher Resources) approximately 800 feet west of Highway 149. The Dakota County Plat Commission did not approve the preliminary plat because the proposed full access location does not meet County spacing guidelines from Highway 149. Moving the access location west to achieve the required spacing distance from Highway 149 would call for substantial grading because of the extreme topography along the west edge of the site adjacent to the City's water reservoir property. If the developer desires the access to remain at the current proposed location, Dakota County will require developer to construct the full closure of the median on Yankee Doodle Road to restrict vehicle movements to right -in/ right -out only, or pursue a variance to the spacing guidelines with the Plat Commission. The closure of the median will also affect Gopher Resource property access to the north. This development should meet all conditions of plat approval and permit approval as required by Dakota County. Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 6 The private street will extend through the development north -south and will provide access for future development of West Publishing property to the south. The developer should provide a private ingress/ egress easement in'favor of the West Publishing property providing for future use of the private street within the development, as approved by the City Attorney. Easements/ Permits/ Ri t -of -Way — The developer should be responsible for acquiring permit approval from Canadian Pacific Railroad to allow the discharge of storm water and construction activity within railroad right-of-way, prior to final plat approval. The developer should be responsible for acquiring permit approval from Magellan Petroleum for all development work within the pipeline easement on the property. The developer should be responsible for acquiring permit approval from the MN Department of Transportation for all work within Highway 149 right-of-way, prior to final subdivision approval. Financial Obligation — At this time, there are no pending assessments on the parcel proposed for platting. Based upon a study by City staff of the financial obligations collected in the past and proposed use for the property, the following estimated charges will be collected at time of final subdivision or connection to the City's utility system. The final charges will be computed using the rates in effect at time of connection or subdivision. The estimated financial obligation is subject to change based upon the areas, dimensions and land uses contained in the final subdivision or plat. Improvement Use Rate QuantityAmount Water Lateral C/I $35.10/ F.F. 1,949 F.F $68,410 Storm Sewer Lateral C/I $41.20/ F.F, 145 F.F $5,974 Storm Sewer Trunk C/I $0.159/ S.F. 936,984 S.F. $148,980 Total $223,364 Tree Preservation — The submitted tree inventory indicates that there are twenty-eight (28) significant trees in the inventory for the entire site. All of these trees are located along the east property line, adjacent to State Highway 149. The development as proposed will result in the removal of all twenty-eight (28) significant trees (100 % of the total). According to the City of Eagan Tree Preservation Ordinance allowable tree removal for this development is 30%. The applicant has submitted a combination Tree Mitigation Plan and landscape Plan that indicates the fulfillment of required tree mitigation through the installation of forty-two (42) Category B trees. VIM Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 7 Parks and Recreation — The proposed lots are subject to Park and Trail cash dedication, which would be collected at the time of building permit. The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed this application on January 12, 2006 and recommended approval. Building_ Architecture/Materials — No less than seventy-five (75) percent of the exterior, exposed walls of any newly constructed building in light industrial (I-1) district shall be constructed of a vertical finish made of noncombustible, non -degradable, and low maintenance construction material, including, but not limited to, face brick; natural stone; specially designed precast concrete or synthetic stucco or comparable material (e.g., dryvit) units, provided the surfaces have been integrally treated with an applied decorative material or texture; smooth, painted or decorative concrete block, provided the block is scored at least twice. Twenty-five percent or less of the exterior, exposed walls of any newly constructed building in light industrial (I-1), general industrial district may be constructed of any of the following materials: metal, including but not limited to steel, sheet or corrugated aluminum, or iron; vinyl; plain concrete block; or any other material not within the standards set forth in paragraph b.i. Any metal surface or. siding as permitted herein shall be coated or anodized with a non -reflective, glare -free finish. As proposed these standards are met. As a Planned Development higher standards for finish materials could be established. Si na e_ An entrance Sign The subject site is subject to Development Amendment. is shown on the Landscape Plan but does not provide any detail. sign a Li tin — The lighting plan seem efficient for an industrial use. The poles will be 30 foot poles with "shoe -box" style lights. Lighting should not be directed upon public right-of-way or adjacent properties and the source of light shall not be visible from off the property. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The applicant is proposing to subdivide 21 acres (Gopher Commons) to create 3 Lots and one Outlot. The applicant proposes to construct three office/warehouse buildings totaling 145,000 sq. ft. on this site. Users are not established at this time, Final Planned Development review is required for development. Uses should comply with I-1 uses. Any outdoor storage would require a Planned Development Amendment. As proposed the I-1 standards are met with exception to the building height, the Elevation plans indicate a building height of 55 feet; the I-1 district limits height to 40 feet. Tree mitigation, water quality, grading, storm drainage, and utilities are acceptable as proposed. This site is adjacent to Yankee Doodle Road (County Road 28). Access to the site is via Private Street proposed to intersect Yankee Doodle Road in direct alignment with the existing access to the north (Gopher Resources) approximately 800 feet west of.Highway 149. The Dakota County Plat Commission has reviewed and approved the preliminary plat with access restricted to right 9/ Planning Report — Gopher Commons January 24, 2006 Page 8 in/ right -out turning movements only because the proposed access location does not meet County spacing guidelines. If the developer desires the access to remain at the current proposed location, Dakota County will require developer to construct the full closure of the median on Yankee Doodle Road to restrict vehicle movements to right -in/ right -out only, or pursue a variance to the spacing guidelines with the Plat Commission. The closure of the median will also affect Gopher Resource property access to the north. This development should meet all conditions of plat approval and permit approval as required by Dakota County. As proposed building material standards are met. Entrance monument signs are shown on some of the submitted plan sheets, but no details are given. Signage should meet the City Sign Ordinance and a pylon sign would require a Planned Development Amendment. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Preliminary Subdivision of 21 acres (Gopher Commons) to create 3 Lots and one Outlot on'property located in the southwest corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Highway 149 in the NW V4 of Section 13.

EXCEPTING THEREFROM that part platted as GOPHER EAGAN INDUSTRIAL PARK IST ADDITION, according to the recorded plat thereof. This parcel, currently zoned PD would be subdivided into 3 lots and 1 outlot, and zoned 1-1, Light Industrial. We would then like to construct one building per lot, which would house general office/warehouse. The construction would start this coming Spring of 2006 with the mass grading. After that, the building would undergo construction when specific users of each building are brought on board. The existing land use is a storage facility for an excavation company, for their excess material. The surrounding land use is: City property, water tower and park to the west, commercial property (undeveloped) to the. east, Gopher Resource to the north and light industrial to the south. Residential properties are further west and south. Sincerely, Bill Sharbono, Loucks McLagan Minneapolis,. January 13, 2006 City of Eagan Attention Sheila Cartney 3739 Pilot Knob Road Eagan MN 55122-1810 Re: GOPHER COMMONS The Dakota County Plat Commission met on January 9, 2006, to consider the preliminary plat of the above referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to CSAH 28, and is therefore subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance. The preliminary plat is located in the southwest quadrant of CSAH 28 and Trunk Highway 149. This plat shows one full private access onto CSAH 28 and is located approximately 800 feet from TH 149. This access meets the requirements of 1/8 -mile spacing for right turns only access. A full access at this location would require a variance from the current Access Spacing Guidelines and was not supported by the Plat Commission. The city indicated that Thompson Legal, which has undeveloped property to the south and southwest of this plat, has interest in this development as an access easement to CSAH 28. In the future, Thompson Legal is expected to expand current operations, resulting in increased traffic in the area. The Plat Commission stated that the city should plan for Thompson Legal to connect to the Elrene Road in the future and utilize the current full access at CSAH 28 and Elrene Road. The Plat Commission is recommending closure to the median at the proposed full access location to restrict the access to right turns only. Closure of the median will be required through the permitting process by the ----------- ----- --Transports-tion IIepartment—The-Pla't-Cnmmissiori recognizes -that the -median -closure -impacts -the -access -to ---- the Gopher site to the north of CSAH 28. If the developer/city wishes to pursue a full access at the proposed location, a variance letter must be submitted through the city. The letter should state the conditions causing the hardship. In addition, the Plat Commission did not rule out the possibility of a full access location if moved to the west boundary line, having approximately 1150 feet of spacing from TH149. This western boundary location would need to be studied to determine if there are adequate sight distances, stop distances and can accommodate large - truck movements. The Plat Commission recommends that the County Transportation Department, the city and the developer meet to discuss the difficulty of -a full access and the need for future local road connections in the area. The Plat Commission did not approve the preliminary plat as submitted. No work shall commence in the County right of way until a permit is obtained from the County Transportation Department and no permit will be issued until the plat has been filed with the County Recorder's Office. The Plat Commission does not review or approve the actual engineering design. of proposed accesses or other improvements to be made in the right of way. The Plat Commission highly recommends early contact with the Transportation Department to discuss the permitting process which reviews the design and may require construction of highway improvements, including, but not limited to, turn lanes, drainage features, limitations on intersecting street widths, allowance and size of medians, etc. Please contact Gordon McConnell regarding permitting questions at (952) 891-7115 or Todd Tollefson regarding Plat Commission or Plat Ordinance questions at (952) 891-7070.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Planned Development: City Code Chapter 11.60, Subd. 18, A., states the intent of the Planned Development zoning district as follows: 1. Providing greater flexibility in environmental design and relaxation of strict application of the zoning ordinance in exchange for greater creativity and environmental sensitivity. 2. Recognizing the economic and cultural advantages that will accrue to the residents of a planned community. 3. Encouraging a more creative and efficient approach to the use of the land. Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 2 4. Encouraging the preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics, natural features, and open space. 5. Encouraging a development pattern that is consistent with land use density, transportation facilities and community facilities objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Variance: City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subdivision 3, B., 3, states that the Council may approve, approve with conditions or deny a request for a variance. In considering all requests for a variance, City Council shall consider the following factors: a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity, and result from lot size or shape, topography, or other circumstances over which the owners of property have no control. b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Code would deprive the applicant property use commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the provisions of this Code. c. That special conditions or circumstances do not result from actions of the applicant. d. That granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. e. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this Code or to property in the same zone. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The site consists of 6.8 acres comprised of three parcels. One parcel is a vacant 1.7 acre outlot (zoned R-4) southwest of an existing apartment building at 2099 Silver Bell Road. The two others are unplatted parcels that comprise a 5.1 acre site which contains a single family home. This portion of the site is currently zoned A, Agriculture. The site is surrounded by a variety of uses. Public Facilities to the west, industrial to the north and east, commercial office to the south, and both multiple -family and single-family residential to the west. Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 3 Comprehensive Land Use Plan — Earlier this year, the City considered a request to change the Comprehensive Guide Plan Land Use designation from LD, Low Density, to HD, High Density residential. On April 4, 2006, the City Council directed the amendment to be sent to the Metropolitan Council for review. The City Council also concurred with the Advisory Planning Commission that Planned Development would be a more appropriate zoning for the development site. On May 25, 2006, the City received the Metropolitan Council's response to the proposed land use amendment, waiving further review and directing that the City may implement the land use amendment. EXISTING CONDITIONS The 5.1 acre site is heavily wooded and generally slopes to the northwest. A heavily wooded ravine extends along the west edge of the property. The ravine has steep slopes with significant natural resource considerations, including tree preservation and impacts to downstream property. This ravine is directly above the Minnesota River flats, and appears to be highly susceptible to erosion. The ravine should be subject to stringent temporary and permanent erosion control measures with any type of land use and development. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: EVALUATION OF REQUEST Description of Proposal — The existing three parcels are proposed to be replatted as a single parcel. The applicant proposes to construct a four-story 107 -unit apartment building on the westerly 5.1 acre parcel, providing access to the building via a new public street from Silver Bell Road through the existing 1.7 acre outlot. Compatibility with Surrounding — There are a variety of land uses adjacent to this site — office, industrial, multi -family and single-family and quasi -public. The proposed multi -family residential use appears compatible with this mix of existing uses. Airport Noise Considerations — The City of Eagan considered airport noise as a factor in its Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The Metropolitan Council has adopted an Aviation Chapter 1.13 Existing Use Zoning Land Use Designation North Seneca Plant I-1, Limited Industrial IND, Limited Industrial South Apartments/Condos R-4, Multiple Residential HD, High Density residential East Industrial I-1, Limited Industrial IND, Limited Industrial Northwest/ Southwest Vacant/Single- family PF, Public Facilities/ R-1, Single Family Residential QP, Quasi -Public/ LD, Low Density residential EVALUATION OF REQUEST Description of Proposal — The existing three parcels are proposed to be replatted as a single parcel. The applicant proposes to construct a four-story 107 -unit apartment building on the westerly 5.1 acre parcel, providing access to the building via a new public street from Silver Bell Road through the existing 1.7 acre outlot. Compatibility with Surrounding — There are a variety of land uses adjacent to this site — office, industrial, multi -family and single-family and quasi -public. The proposed multi -family residential use appears compatible with this mix of existing uses. Airport Noise Considerations — The City of Eagan considered airport noise as a factor in its Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The Metropolitan Council has adopted an Aviation Chapter 1.13 Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 4 in its Transportation Policy Plan that anticipates the impacts from the continued operation of the airport at its current location. Historically, the City has attempted, where possible, to minimize land uses that would be in conflict with operations at MSP. The City's adopted Comprehensive Guide Plan currently designates the area as LD, Low Density residential. The site is located 3.5 miles south of the north -south runway at MSP, adjacent to the arrival and departure flight track for that runway. Based on the Metropolitan Council Policy Contours adopted in 1996, the site is located within the one -mile buffer area of the 60 dB contour, placing it within Noise Policy Zone 4. The Met Council has recently adopted new land use compatibility guidelines, which incorporate the 2007 Noise Policy Contours. Under the new guidelines it is anticipated that shared -entry multi -family residential dwellings will be a provisional use within the Buffer Zone. This property is located within Airport Noise Policy Zone 4. With the opening of the new North- South runway at MSP in Fall 2005, this property experienced increased exposure to aircraft overflights. Architectural designs and construction methods for construction of a shared -entry multi -family building should incorporate sound attenuation standards sufficient to achieve an interior sound level of 45 dBA. Conforming Plan — The conforming plan is intended to show a development that conforms with R-4 zoning, for comparison purposes to the proposed Planned Development. The conforming plan shows the 107 -unit apartment building. Parking stalls conform to dimensional standards -and required-nurriber of stalls -The conforming-plairshows-conforming-minimunrstructure--- - - setbacks, but does not include the additional setbacks required in conjunction with the increased building height. In the conforming plan, street access is provided via Wuthering Heights Road. Dens i — As a Planned Development, the acceptability of the proposed density is a policy matter to be determined by city officials. To evaluate the developer's proposal, density is first calculated by what is proposed (the number of units divided by the gross/net site areas), then compared against what is required or allowed in the comparable R-4 zoning district. Proposed — The developer is proposing 107 units on a gross site area of 6.8 acres, resulting in a gross density of 15.7 units per acre. With the dedication of approximately 0.6 acres for right-of-way for the new public street, the net site area is 6.2 acres, resulting in a net density of 17.2 units per acre. Required — R-4 zoning requires a minimum site area of 2,750 sq. ft. of area per unit. The City Code allows a credit of 300 sq. ft. per unit for each unit served by underground garage, resulting in a net required site area per unit of 2,450 sq. ft.. With 107 proposed units, this translates into a required site area of 6.0 acres (the equivalent of 17.8 units per acre density). The proposed site, whether measured by gross or net area, exceeds the 6.0 acre minimum, and thus, the site area complies with R-4 standards. liq Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 5 The development as proposed has a net density of 17.2 units per acre, which includes the allowed credit for underground garages, whereas the R-4 zoning district allows a density of 17.8 units per acre. In summary, this proposal complies with R-4 zoning standards for required site area and density. Lots — The existing parcels are proposed to be replatted as a single parcel. Lot 1, Block 1, is proposed to be 6.2 acres, while 0.6 acres will be dedicated as right-of-way. The dedicated right- of-way includes the area of the new public street, and the remnant land south of the new street. The preliminary plat shows the new public street crossing the adjacent parcel (Lot 1, Block 1, Vogelpohl Addition) creating a small triangular remnant to the south of the new street identified as Outlot A. This remnant should be included in the right-of-way easement area for the new public street. Grading/ Topography Erosion Control — The preliminary grading plan is acceptable with modifications. The site is heavily wooded and generally slopes to the northwest. A heavily wooded ravine extends along the west edge of the site. This ravine is directly above the Minnesota River flats, and appears to be highly susceptible to erosion. A detailed grading, drainage, erosion,. and sediment control plan should be prepared in accordance with current City standards and codes prior to final plat and planned development approval. All erosion/ sediment control plans submitted for development and grading permits should be prepared --- - --------by a designer -who -has -received -current Minnesota Department-of-Transportation.QvMOT)------ ------.----------- training, or approved equal training as determined by the City Engineer in designing stormwater pollution prevention plans. Also, all personnel responsible for the installation of erosion/ sediment control devices, and the establishment of vegetation for the development, should have received Erosion/Sediment Control Inspector/Installer certification through the University of Minnesota, or approved equal training as determined by the City Engineer. Storm Drainage — The preliminary storm drainage plan is acceptable with modifications. A majority of the site storm water runoff is proposed to drain to the existing pond within the adjacent property to the north, Lot 1, Block 1 Cedar Bluffs Business Center, either through direct pipe drainage or from a proposed pond within the development. This storm sewer layout is intended to direct runoff away from the ravine as much as possible. The pond proposed on the site is located near the public street leading into the development. In order to meet water quality and rate control requirements, the developer is proposing to expand the existing pond on Lot 1, Block 1, Cedar Bluffs Business Center. The developer should construct an outlet skimmer structure, in accordance with City engineering standards, on the outlet from the proposed pond. Utilities — The preliminary utility plan is acceptable with modifications. Water main and sanitary sewer service is readily available to serve development of the property. 115 Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 6 Streets/ Access/ Circulation — The preliminary site plan shows the extension of a public street from Silver Bell Road west toward Wuthering Heights Road, a rural -section gravel road within public right-of-way. A temporary cul-de-sac is proposed on the end of this street, with no direct connection to Wuthering Heights Road. One driveway connection to the proposed apartment building is shown to the public street. Construction of the public street will require public street easement dedication across the adjacent parcel (Lot 1, Block 1, Vogelpohl Addition). The proposed public street should be constructed to City engineering standards. Easements/ Permits/ Ri t -of -Way — The developer should acquire the necessary public drainage & utility easement to cover the proposed storm sewer pipe and pond expansion on Lot 1, Block 1, Cedar Bluffs Business Center, prior to final plat and planned development approval. The developer should acquire the necessary public street easement from Lot 1, Block 1 Vogelpohl Addition to cover the proposed street extension, prior to final plat and planned development approval. The easement should cover the necessary street extension and include the area shown as Outlot A within Vogelpohl Addition on the preliminary site plan. This development should dedicate 10' drainage and utility easements centered over all common lot lines and adjacent to private property or public right-of-way. This development should dedicate all public right-of-way and temporary slope easements for ultimate development of adjacent roadways as required by the appropriate jurisdictional agency. This development should dedicate adequate drainage and ponding easements to incorporate the required high water elevation necessitated by The developer should provide a financial guarantee and inspection escrow, in amounts and types in accordance with City final subdivision procedures and policies, for the public street and utility work for the development, prior to final plat and planned development approval. The developer should provide as -built record plans of all public streets and utilities, in a form acceptable to the City Engineering Department, at the completion of the development and before occupancy of the proposed building. Water Quality/Wetlands — This 5.1 -acre development is located in the northwest sector of the City, immediately adjacent to property of Metropolitan Council Environmental Services, which operates the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant. The developer proposes to meet the City's water quality requirements by directing stormwater runoff to two treatment ponds, one on the parcel to be constructed and another to be expanded on the adjacent parcel to the north. Requirements for the volume of water quality treatment ponds are based on the imperviousness of proposed developments (i.e., the proportion of land covered by buildings, parking lots, driveways, and walks). As proposed, stormwater treatment for this development exceeds the minimum total volume. There are no wetlands associated with this parcel. ria Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 7 Tree Preservation — A tree inventory submitted with this application indicates that there are one - hundred forty-three (143) significant trees in the inventory. Individual tree size and species break down is as follows: Species Avg Diameter Dia. Range Count Percent of Total Boxelder 18" 12"-30" 55 38% Cottonwood 35" 12"-72" 40 28% Conifer 30 foot height 14'-50' height 40 28% (Red Cedar, White Spruce, Pine) The balance of the tree inventory is comprised of a variety of deciduous trees, including species such as silver maple, black cherry, ash, and willow trees averaging 20" in diameter. The development as proposed will result in the removal of ninety-seven (97) of the one -hundred forty-three (143) significant trees (67.8 % of the total). According to the City of Eagan Tree Preservation Ordinance allowable tree removal for this type of development proposal (single- phase, single -lot, multiple -unit residential) is set at 30% of the total significant trees. With a proposed removal more than the allowable amount, there is a required tree mitigation of one hundred seventy-eight (178) Category B trees. ........ .. . The applicant has submitted a Tree Mitigation Plan that indicates the installation of one -hundred- - -- tliree (r03y Category B -trees to partiallyf-Ifill-tree mitigation-requirements.—Thebalance-.oftke- — - required tree mitigation is proposed to be fulfilled through a cash payment. This cash balance is calculated at $22,500.00. Bulk Standards — While the City Code does not specify bulk standards for the PD zoning district, the R-4 standards are applicable for comparative purposes. The R-4 zoning district requires the following: Building Setbacks — The required and proposed building setbacks are summarized in the tables below. City Code states "all minimum setbacks ... shall be increased by three feet for each one foot of building height over 35 feet." In the R-4 zoning district, this additional setback provision does not identify a maximum setback, however, in other zoning districts, a maximum setback of 60 feet on the front and 40 feet on side and rear yards applies. Thus, with no maximum specified and a building height of 55.5 feet, the building setbacks should be increased an additional 61.5 feet. These amounts are shown below. The proposed building satisfies minimum R-4 standards, but does not satisfy the additional setback requirements. Required Setbacks: Minimum With 55.5'Bldg. Ht. Front yard/public right-of-way = 50 feet 111.5 feet Side yard = 30 feet 91.5 feet Rear yard = 30 feet 91.5 feet III Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 8 Proposed Setbacks: North (rear -- adjacent to industrial) -30' East (side -- adjacent to multi -family) -80' South (front -- adjacent to single-family) -80' West (side -- adjacent to public facilities) -80' Variance - A Variance is required for the existing building setback from the proposed public right-of-way. The R-4 zoning district requires a minimum 50 foot setback to a public street, the existing building at 2099 Silver Bell Road will be set back approximately 20 feet from the proposed new public street right-of-way. Building Coverage - Building coverage in residential districts is typically 20%. Building coverage proposed for this site is 13.1 % Green Space - The development proposes an overall green space of 34%. Building Height - The R-4 zoning district allows a maximum building height of 60 feet. Building height is measured to the mean roof level of a pitched or hip roof, and to the highest point of a flat or mansard roof. Using this method of measurement, the proposed apartment building has a height of 55 to 55.5 feet. Trash Enclosures -Trash storage should be provided within the principal structure, typically - - - - — -- in -the uirderground-garage- area -The submitted -floor -plan indicates -that -interior trash-storage- areas rash-storage areas are provided. Required Recreation Area - The zoning ordinance requires that each multiple dwelling complex provide recreation area for its residents. Therecreation area requirements are summarized below. Required recreation areas must be located at least 100 feet from any ponding area. Given the proposed 107 units, a total amount of recreation area required is 21,600 square feet. The plans do not identify specific on-site recreation space.

Totals 1 107 1 1 21,600 sq. ft. Storage Area - The zoning code requires that a minimum of 150 cubic feet of storage shall be provided within the building for each unit, exclusive of storage space within each dwelling unit. The architect should verify that the required storage space is provided prior to Final Planned Development approval. 11� Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 9 Off -Street Parking — The zoning code requires two parking stalls for each dwelling unit, one of which must be enclosed. The proposed development contains 107 dwelling units. Each building will have an underground garage that provides one enclosed parking stall for each dwelling unit. 76 surface parking stalls are provided, with another 43 stalls identified as future proof or parking. Total possible surface parking is 119 stalls. Parking stalls are ten feet wide and 20 feet deep. Landscaping — The City landscape ordinance requires that tree mitigation be provided in addition to required landscaping. Consequently, the Landscape Plan should stand alone and satisfy the landscape ordinance standards, absent any mitigation plantings. Landscaping plantings are proposed around the building and consist of foundation plants all around the building, shade and ornamental trees along the front (east) of the building, and evergreen trees on the north and south ends of the site. Trees on the northeast corner of the site are shown in the proof of parking areas, and conifers will obstruct visibility at driveway corners and turns.. The developer should explore an alternative landscape design to preserve the future' parking areas, and maintain visibility along the drive lanes. Scattered trees are shown on the west side of the building, on the down side of the slope. Staff is concerned about planting in these areas, both to ensure that trees do get planted to help stabilize the slope and prevent erosion, and that the tree placement be accomplished early enough in the construction project while the necessary equipment can access that area. Staff also has concerns about crowding, and suggests that spacing between trees, particular the conifers, be increased. The patio -shown ori the northeast end-bf the liuildirig exists in part to provide emergeric�rvehcle — y - -- - access to that corner of the building. The selection of trees in that area, particularly between the patio and the building, should be a short variety, such as an ornamental crabapple or Japanese Tree Lilac, so as not to obstruct emergency access to the upper floors of the building. Mitigation plantings are concentrated on the existing 1.7 -acre outlot. Planting around the storm drainage pond and along the public street within proposed Lot 1, Block 1 is acceptable, however, a significant amount of the mitigation is proposed south of the new street, on public right-of-way. Planting within public right-of-way is not acceptable and these trees should be relocated elsewhere within the site. If the site cannot accommodate additional planting, alternative mitigation measures will need to be explored, subject to review and approval by the City Forester. The Final Landscape Plan should be signed by the landscape architect or certified nurseryperson who prepared it. Building Architecture/Elevations — The proposed building is a three and four-story building with underground garage. The three-story section is on the west end of the site, nearest the adjacent single-family homes. Building materials include cementitious siding (Nardi -board or similar material) in two colors, vinyl siding resembling cedar shakes, glass, brick and rock face CMU. The roof material is asphalt shingles. The exterior includes balcony/decks. 119 Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 10 The roof is a pitched roof with gable elements spaced along the length of the building. A tower with a round window and peak roof is shown on the south end of the northeast fagade above the building entrance to the main lobby. This same tower feature is mimicked in the proposed monument sign design. The building shape consists of several segments as the building conforms to the topography of the site. All facades should be treated as a front and utilize the same finish materials, and the plans appear to do so. Signage - City Sign Code allows a free-standing sign for each site entrance to a major apartment complex. A monument sign is permitted. City sign code standards for a monument sign limit the height to 7 feet, with a maximum height of the message area of 4 feet. The proposed monument sign reflects the materials and design features of the principal building and consists of a sign face supported by two pillars. The two pillars have a brick base to match the building and a peaked roof cap. One pillar reflects the architectural style of the building with vinyl "cedar shake" siding. The height to the top peak of the pillars is 7 feet, and to the top of the sign panel is 5.5 feet. The monument sign design is consistent with City Sign Code requirements. The monument sign is proposed to be located adjacent to Silver Bell. Road, on the remnant Outlot A. This location is not acceptable. The proposed monument sign location is off -premises, on a remnant of the adjacent Ll, B1, Vogelpohl Addition and does not meet the required 10 foot setback from the property lines. In addition, it is recommended that the remnant outlot be - -included-idthe-fight-of=way easement for the new public- street connection to Silver Bell Road, in-- which n- which case the sign cannot be placed within right-of-way or right-of-way easement. The monument sign should be relocated within the site, on Lot 1, Block 1, Kennealy Ridge Apartments, and must be set back at least 10 feet from all property lines. Site Lighting Plan — Site lighting is proposed to be accomplished through free-standing pole - mounted lighting. Some building mounted lighting is also proposed. The standard fixtures are 400 watts, high pressure sodium, .mounted at 25 feet. Typically, minimum light levels of 0.5 foot-candles are acceptable within parking lots, and maximum light levels of 1 footcandle at the property line are acceptable. The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (2003) manual suggests an average -to -minimum uniformity ratio not greater than 4:1. The average -to - minimum ratio identified on this plan is 3.6 and 3.8 This suggests fairly uniform light levels throughout the site. The photometric plan was difficult to read, but appears to satisfy these standards. The developer should have the lighting engineer and landscape architect review the Site Lighting Plan in conjunction with the Overall Planting Plan to ensure that the selection of plant materials and placement of light fixtures do not conflict. The lighting engineer should also verify that the sidewalk areas are sufficiently lit for safety and security purposes and additional pedestrian level lighting should be added if necessary. 17D Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 11 Parks and Recreation — This development is responsible for cash parks and trails dedications payable at the time of building permit at the rates then in effect. The 2006 rates are $3,070 per unit for parks and $238 per unit for trails. Financial Obligation/ Connection Charges — At this time, there are no pending assessments on the parcel proposed for platting. Based upon a study by City staff of the financial obligations collected in the past and proposed use for the property, the following estimated charges will be collected at time of final subdivision or connection to the .City's utility system. The final charges will be computed using the rates in effect at time of connection or subdivision. The estimated financial obligation is subject to change based upon the areas, dimensions and land uses contained in the final subdivision or plat, with due allowances for easements and right-of-way required with the plat: Improvement Use RateQuantity_ Amount Storm Sewer Trunk MF $0.1325/ sf 277,302 sf 1 $36,743 SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Sunrise Properties is requesting approval of a Rezoning from A, Agriculture and R-41 Residential Multiple, to PD, Planned Development, and a Preliminary Planned Development to create a four-story 107 -unit apartment building, upon 6.8 acres. A Variance is also requested for setback of an existing building from the new public street. The Planned Development zoning allows for flexibility from strict code requirements, and provides for review and approval of the building architecture and design, monument signage, landscape plan, site lighting, and other elements of the development. This flexibility is intended to encourage greater creativity and environmental sensitivity in site design and more creative and efficient use of land. The proposed development combines three existing parcels into one for construction of an apartment building on the westerly 5.1 acres with access to the building via a new public street from Silver Bell Road through the southeasterly 1.7 acres. The dedicated right-of-way extends to the Wuthering Heights Road right-of-way, and ends in a temporary cul-de-sac with no direct connection to Wuthering Heights Road. The dedicated right-of-way also includes the remnant land south of the new street. The remnant Outlot A on the adjacent Ll, B1, Vogelpohl Addition should be included in the right-of-way easement for the new public street. Ponding is located near the new public street leading into the development. The proposed density is acceptable, meets typical R-4 standards and is consistent with the HD, High Density, land use designation. The grading and storm drainage plans are acceptable with some modifications. Water quality requirements are satisfied and tree mitigation is required. Tree mitigation is proposed within newly dedicated right-of-way, and the proposed placement of the monument sign is unacceptable. The building is. 55.5 feet in height and as a result requires 121 Planning Report — Kennealy Ridge Apartments June 27, 2006 (revised June 28, 2006) Page 12 additional setbacks which are not satisfied. The developer will need to demonstrate compliance with recreational space requirements prior to Final Planned Development approval. Site landscaping and lighting plans will need additional scrutiny and some modification prior to Final Planned Development approval. This development is subject to cash park and trail dedications payable at the time of final plat.

Sunrise Properties LLC. RECEIVED MAY 3 12006 May 31, 2006 Ms. Pam Dudziak City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 Dear Ms. Dudziak Sunrise Properties is requesting a rezoning of property and Preliminary Planned Development approval of our project located Northwest of Highway 13 and Silver Bell Road in the SE'/4 of Section 18. In addition, a variance to the required front setback is requested to construct a public access to site within 50 feet of an existing apartment building. Comprehensive Guide Plan The Silverpines property is currently guided High Density Residential (.BD) and Bassett property Low Density residential (LD). Both are surrounded by property to the. north. guided Quasi Public/ Institutional ,(QP), property to the east guided Limited Industrial - - - -- -- - roe to -the -west guided--L--ow-Density -i residential D , and. roe to.the.'-. _.__.. _ pp south guided High Density residential (HD) and Special Area (SA). A request for a comprehensive guide plan amendment to change the land use of the Bassett property from Low Density residential (LD) to High Density residential (HD) is currently at the Met Council for review. The change in the land use designation would allow for the construction of multiple family units on the Bassett property. Zoning The Silverpines property is currently zoned Residential Multiple, (R-4) and The Bassett property Agricultural (A). Both properties are surrounded by property to the north zoned Public Facility (PF), property to the east zoned Limited Industrial (I-1), property to, the west zoned Residential Single Family (R-1), and property to the south zoned Residential Multiple (R.-4) and Planned Development (PD). The property also lies within the MSP Noise Buffer Zone. Given the sensitive physical characteristics — trees; topography and proximity to a sensitive wetland and the Minnesota River flats — as well as our desire to utilize a new public street access, we request the City to consider a rezoning of the Bassett -and Silverpines property to PD, Planned Development with the intent of. !nECSIVEI) MAY .3 Inn - providing greater flexibility in environmental design and relaxation of strict application of the zoning ordinance in exchange for greater creativity and environmental sensitivity. - recognizing the economic and cultural advantages that will accrue to the residents of a planned community. - encouraging a more creative and efficient approach to the use of the land. - encouraging the preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics, natural features, and open space. - encouraging a development pattern that is consistent with the land use density, transportation facilities and community facilities objectives of the, Comprehensive Plan. Existing Land Use The Bassett property. currently is used for one single family residence and includes. two parcels totaling 5.11 acres. The Silverpines property is currently vacant and 1.7 acres in. size. Both are surrounded by property to the north that is vacant with significant etlands-propaerty-to the eastthat-is-office/-wa'rellour,t, prblserty'tcsthe we-st that ir-sirigt - family residential, and property to the south that contains apartments, condominiums, and office/ warehouse uses. _ ....... _._.._. _ ..._The- existing -Residence on -the -Bassett property-will.be,removed.as_part of_the site-.- preparation ite_preparation of the proposed development. All existing wells on the project property will be capped per Minnesota Rules, Land Use Concept Plan The combined project area includes 5.11 acres of the Bassett property and 1.72 acres of property owned by Silverpines Acquisitions. Acquisition of the Silverpines property will provide access to Silver Bell Road. A 30 foot variance to the required 50 foot front, building setback is requested to allow public access to the site off Silver Bell Road because of the following factors: Currently the only public access to the site is Wuthering Heights Road, which enters the property from the west through an existing single family neighborhood. Access to the site through this road is discouraged in order to minimize traffic impacts on the neighborhood. - Access to the project site off Silver Bell Road would be consistent with access to the existing apartments. on either side of project property. - The project site could be accessed by a private driveway but by constructing the access as public right of way there will be the future opportunity to "loop" Wuthering Heights to Silver Bell Road. The multi -family use proposed for the site provides a transition and buffer to the adjacent light industrial and is compatible with the adjacent multi -family uses. Impacts to the a� 1 47 residential neighborhood to the west will be minimized by prohibiting access to the residential street and by providing a landscape buffer to the adjacent single family home. Existing trees on site consist of softwoods of various sizes such as Cottonwoods, Box elder and Basswoods with a few evergreens scattered throughout. Significant grading and tree removal will likely occur on the property in order to meet its intended multi -family use. The project will need to conform to Eagan "Ordinance No. 217 2"d Series regarding tree preservation and mitigation. The Silverpines property could provide an area for tree mitigation, if needed. Project Justification The vision for the Bassett and Silverpines property is to develop a residential environment that provides a lifecycle and lifestyle housing for the residents of Eagan. It is the intent of Sunrise Properties to provide multiple family housing, while minimizing the impact to adjacent single family residences. As a long time single family residence, the Bassett property has been recently impacted by the development of office/ warehouse and condominiums on two adjacent parcels. It is also located within the MSP Noise Ordinance Buffer Zone and the recent opening of runway 17/35 will have an ongoing impact on the site an surroun ing pro ep ies. The site's continued use as sing a family residential isnot compatible with. these uses. Proiect Schedule & Phasing It is assumed the apartments will be constructed as a single phase project. Plan approval and site construction would need to begin in 2006 in order to complete the project by 2007. Preliminary Proiect Schedule Description Completion Date Rezoning & Comp.

The amendment reguides about 5.1 acres from LD Low Density Residential to HD High Density Residential, located northwest of TH 13 at Wuthering Heights Road. The purpose of the amendment is to reguide land for the development of a 107 -unit apartment building. Council staff finds the amendment meets the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Administrative Review Guidelines adopted by the Council on May 11, 2005.. The amendment is also consistent with Council Guidelines for Evaluating Plan Amendments Proposing Changes to Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) Timing -Staging as adopted on January 12, 2005. Therefore, further action- on- this- review is -waived -and -the City -may -place -this -amendment -into -effect: - --- -- - - - - - Council staff offers the following advisory comments: Aviation (Chauncey Case, 651-602-1724) The amendment site is in the general approach area to the new runway 17/35 operations at MSP International Airport. The project is about 1,200' outside the year 2007 DNL 60 noise contour. The runway will have increased operations and is also used for noise abatement purposes. The City of Eagan has adopted a one -mile noise buffer zone that extends noise control efforts beyond the 60 DNL contour. Under the Council's land use compatibility guidelines for noise, the proposed residential use could be allowed in the buffer zone if local building code ordinances will attenuate exterior to interior noise to meet an interior level of 45dba. Application of guidelines for noise control in a buffer zone is at the discretion of the affected community. The proposed project, assuming noise and energy controls, would be consistent with the Council's TPP/Aviation Policy Plan. Council staff recommends that the City require notification of owners as concerns aircraft noise and that best management procedures be followed by the contractors in caulking, and control of noise flanking through vents to the outside of the structure. Regional Parks and Trails (Freya Thamman,. 651-602-1750) The amendment site is located about %z mile from the Minnesota Valley State Trail, and is also located adjacent the proposed Minnesota Valley/Lebanon Hi11s:Regional Trail.

Surface Water Management (Jim Larsen, 651-602-1159) The City's update local surface water management plan was due in 2004. It is our understanding that the City is currently preparing a draft updated plan that is expected to be completed by the end of 2006 and submitted to the Council and watershed organizations upon completion. The amendment, explanatory materials and the information submission form will be appended to the City's Plan in the Council's files.

The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the boundaries of any district or changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. 2. The Council shall not rezone any land in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to this chapter without first having referred it to the planning commission for its consideration and recommendation. BACKGROUND/HISTORY In 1988, the initial Planned Development was approved for this area that specified Limited Business uses. In 1990, the original Park Nicollet medical clinic was constructed as part of the Galaxie Cliff 2nd Addition. In 1997, Park Nicollet acquired additional property from the property owner to the south for an addition to the building. The City approved a Planned Development Amendment at that time that allowed the building expansion and a new plat, Galaxie Cliff 3ra Addition. However, a pylon sign request that was part of the 1997 application was denied for the subject site. It appears the sign was denied because a majority of the City Council believed the Planning Report — Park Nicollet Pylon Sign PD Amendment June 27, 2006 Page 2 existing signage was adequate for the site and they did not want to see a proliferation of pylon signs along I -35E. In October of 1998, the City Council approved a pylon sign for the adjacent RHS office building to the south. This sign was designed to provide enough distance to establish a pylon sign on the Park Nicollet site, at a later date, that would meet city code requirements. Previously, pylon signs were approved for the Burnet Realty building next to the subject site and the child care facility within the same Planned Development. EXISTING CONDITIONS The subject site contains a 20,000 medical facility located on Plaza Drive adjacent to I -35E. Building signage is located on the east exterior facing Plaza Drive and on the west facing 1-3 5E. The west facing signage is approximately 260+ square feet and is located on a large wall on the roof of the building that is used to screen mechanical equipment. Mature landscaping is located along the 1-3 5E property line. The Galaxie Cliff Planned Development includes the subject site and is now fully developed. Existing pylon signs are currently located on three of the five parcels within the Planned Development. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: EVALUATION OF REQUEST City Code Requirements Properties within the Galaxie Cliff Plaza Addition Planned Development are subject to City Code requirements. The City Code requires that pylon signs (freestanding business signs over 7 feet high) may not exceed 27 feet. in height and are limited to 125 square feet of sign area per side. An on -premises pylon sign for identification purposes is allowed as a Conditional Use for a Existing Use Zoning Land Use Designation North Office Building- PD O/S Office Service Burnet Realty South Office Building -RHS PD O/S Office Service East Residential-Oakpointe PD Low Density of Eagan Residential (0-4 units/acre West I -35E EVALUATION OF REQUEST City Code Requirements Properties within the Galaxie Cliff Plaza Addition Planned Development are subject to City Code requirements. The City Code requires that pylon signs (freestanding business signs over 7 feet high) may not exceed 27 feet. in height and are limited to 125 square feet of sign area per side. An on -premises pylon sign for identification purposes is allowed as a Conditional Use for a Planning Report — Park Nicollet Pylon Sign PD Amendment June 27, 2006 Page 3 business sign located directly adjacent to a freeway within the City. Any business that acquires a permit to erect a pylon sign for freeway identification may be allowed an additional freestanding ground sign to be located on the side of the property opposite of the freeway. Existing Signage The Park Nicollet facility has front building signage that faces Plaza Dr and a large building sign located on a wall used to screen mechanical equipment located above the roof line of the building. City sign permit records indicate there was discussion regarding the validity of this sign. It appears the sign may have been permitted in error because the sign is located above the roof line, which is not allowed by City Code. If a pylon sign is approved for this site, it should serve as a replacement to the exiting building signage located on the mechanical screening wall. Mature landscaping partially obscures the existing building signage when viewed from I -35E. Progosed Sign The applicant has stated that a pylon sign is desired at their facility to provide better visibility for both patient direction and marketing purposes. The applicant believes the Plaza Drive location makes it difficult for patients to find their location from Galaxie Avenue and they have no other marketing fagade. The applicant indicates that the existing sign is not visible to I -35E traffic until the Cliff Road exit is passed and provides limited visibility from Cliff Road. The applicant believes a pylon sign will help direct patients off the Cliff Road exit and provide better visibility _.similar--to.the-Burnet_Realty..sign..located_on.the_adjacentproperty__to.the.north.._____..___ .__. The applicant is proposing to locate a pylon sign in northwest area of the property along the I - 35E right-of-way. There is an area of approximately 10 feet available within this location that meets the 300 -foot spacing requirement between pylon signs. The proposed sign measures 27 feet high and has a sign area measuring 128 square feet per side, 3 square feet above the 125 square foot per side limit. Landscape/Tree removal In order to accomplish spacing requirements, the sign would need to be located in an area that currently contains mature landscaping and trees. This landscaping would be removed to accommodate both the location and visibility of the proposed sign. Replacement landscaping should be required near this location that would accomplish its intended purpose of screening the parking area. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Park Nicollet is requesting approval of a pylon sign located in the northwest area of their property to assist with patient direction and marketability of their facility. The proposed sign meets City Code requirements with the exception of the sign face size requirements. In 1997, a similar application requesting a pylon sign at this location was denied. It appears the sign was denied because a majority of the City Council believed the existing signage was adequate for the site and they did not want to see a proliferation of pylon signs along I -35E. Planning Report — Park Nicollet Pylon Sign PD Amendment June 27, 2006 Page 4 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To approve a Planned Development Amendment to allow a pylon sign on Lot 1, Block 1, Galaxie Cliff P Addition in the NW '/a of Section 32.

An easy way to help illustrate our point is to compare the signage of our clinic to the Burnet Realty signage next door, so we will use that as a reference throughout this discussion. Northbound 35E - As you travel northbound on the Interstate, a grove of trees blocks the view of our clinic. As you pass the trees, you are beyond the Cliff Road exit. Additionally, the only way you can see the existing wall sign is to look up and to the right. Most drivers never notice the sign from this direction. The Burnet Realty pylon, positioned perpendicular to the Interstate, is very visible to northbound traffic. We believe a tall pylon sign will help direct patients off the exit. Southbound 35E - From this direction, the Burnet Realty wall sign (about 30 feet above the ground) and the Burnet Realty pylon sign are visible peeking above the Cliff Road overpass. As you pass under the bridge, you again are due west of the clinic and never notice the wall sign. Again, a tall pylon sign will do a better job of catching the traveler's attention.

The Burnet Realty pylon sign is visible as you near the overpass. A pylon sign for our clinic would also be visible to people traveling west on Cliff Road. Difficult Location on Plaza Drive - Because of the difficulty directing patients onto Plaza Drive, we believe the pylon will "mark" the location in the patient's mind and help them find the clinic. No Other Marketable Facade - Since there is virtually no traffic through Plaza Drive, except for the patients who already know where the clinic is located, the I -35E facade is the only publicly visible side of the site informing thousands of travelers everyday of our presence. In addition, we do not have a major sign presence on Plaza Drive which I am sure your ordinance allows. Therefore, we must put that signage exposure on the pylon sign on the highway side. I hope you understand our situation and will work with us to correct this major problem for us and our patients. If you have any questions, please feel free to call meat 952-993-3029.

CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT — SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE ALL AMERICAN RECREATION PROPERTY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To schedule a public hearing on August 3, 2006 to consider the use of eminent domain for the acquisition of the All American Recreation property at 3820 Sibley Memorial Highway and direct staff to notify the property owner and the tenant of the meeting. FACTS: • The City has taken steps to bring about the redevelopment of the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area, including public improvements, environmental reviews, comprehensive plan and zoning modifications and the execution of development agreements that are resulting in the construction of new private development consistent with the City's plans. • As the process leading up to the redevelopment of the area has been going on, the City has considered the acquisition of properties, in which there_ is a willing seller. • With respect to the All American Recreation property, staff has discussed the possible acquisition of the property with its owner, Jerry Schlitz, doing business as JR Mega Inc. • In keeping with its past practice, the City asked Mr. Schlitz if he would be interested in preparing an appraisal of the value of the property on which to base negotiations for purchase. In lieu of doing so, in February, Mr. Schlitz sent correspondence asking the City to make an offer for his property. • The City had an appraisal prepared and, on its basis, an offer of $1.25 million was made to Mr. Schlitz for the property. Mr. Schlitz has responded that he believes that the offer is insufficient, but he has not made a counteroffer or submitted appraisal information that would provide the basis for further negotiation. • As a consequence, staff and the City Attorney are requesting that the EDA consider the scheduling of a public hearing to determine whether to proceed with eminent domain to bring about the acquisition of the property. To permit time for proper written and published notice, the next available date for the hearing would be on August 13, 2006.

I understand that the City Council will be addressing possible changes in Eagan's Ordinance as it regards owning and raising pigeons in Eagan. I wanted you to know that not much has changed next door: Mr. Dao's pigeons continue to land on surrounding properties when he releases them. Last week John Johnson, the president of the MN Pigeon Association (?) was over at Mr. Dao's home viewing his coop and giving them suggestions and advice in how they keep the pigeons. He then came to my house and told me that he is trying to help Mr. Dao and that he hopes ge us able to keep his pigeons. Mr. Johnson also told me that Mr. Dao has baby pigeons as well. as adult pigeons. I asked him why would Mr. Dao want baby pigeons? Mr. Johnson said he doesn't know, he said. maybe he plans to "sell" them or replace some of the older pigeons. He also told me that the coop itself is very clean, which I am thankful for. Mr. Johnson also acknowledged, based on the information he gained by visiting Mr. Dao's home and hearing how he has been "harboring" them, that they are a problem. But he no doubt is an advocate for Mr. Dao. He also lives in Lino Lakes. •In any event, I let Mr. Johnson know that I am not in favor of the pigeons remaining next door and he knows my position. I anticipate that Mr. Johnson will be at the meeting -tomorrow and that he will want to address the Council. Is there any more information from the surrounding homeowners that would be helpful for the Council for tomorrow's meeting? I plan to be there but can't see asking to speak unless the Council is looking for more or new information, which there is neither. Denise • Denise L.

BATC submits this motion for two purposes: (1) to support the Petition for Review of Decision of the Court of Appeals filed by Wensmann Realty, Inc., and Rahn Family LP (collectively "Petitioners"), and (2) to obtain leave from the Court to participate fin Cher in this matter as an amicus curiae should the Supreme Court grant the Petition for Review. This motion is based on all of the files and proceedings in the District Court and the Court of Appeals in this matter, including specifically the Order of the Minnesota Court of Appeals of July 1, 2005 granting BATC's request for leave to participate in that appeal as an amicus curiae. The granting of both Petitioners' Petition and BATC's • motion for leave to participate as an amicus curiae are justified for the following reasons. P P J g Several of the criteria for granting discretionary review set forth in Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 117, subd. 2, exist in this matter. The question presented, relating to whether the City of Eagan committed a regulatory taking in refusing to amend its comprehensive plan in response to overwhelming evidence that the only permitted use of the property could no longer be operated profitably as a private enterprise, is an important one upon which the Supreme Court should rule. This Court expressly recognized that a city's comprehensive planning decision might lead to a regulatory takings claim in Mendota Golf. LLP v. City of Mendota Heights, 708 N.W.2d 162, 182 n.14 (Minn. 2006) (noting ' In accordance with Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 129.03, BATC hereby certifies that its counsel authored this whole motion and that no person or entity, other than BATC itself, has made a monetary contribution to the preparation of the submission of this motion. 4 .. J that no takings claim was asserted in that action). The Court of Appeals' decision on • Petitioners' takings claim is at variance with several decisions from this Court and the United States Supreme Court, and justifies the exercise of this Court's supervisory powers. Finally, a decision by this Court on the regulatory takings issue would help to develop, clarify, or harmonize the law, providing needed guidance to both public and private entities who often face this issue as Minnesota's population continues to grow. BATC, formed in 1948 as a small group of builders, today has over 1,850 members, including developers, builders, remodelers, subcontractors, suppliers and others. BATC works to provide a diverse selection of quality and affordable housing. Among other things, BATC focuses on the land supply in the Twin Cities, participating in the public discussion about housing affordability and land redevelopment. BATC's interest in this litigation is therefore both public and private in nature. • BATC's interest in this case arises out of the City's denial of Petitioners' request to amend the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan to allow low-density residential development of the property, based upon a showing that continued operation of the property as a golf course had become economically unviable, making it impossible for Petitioners to realize any return on their investment in the subject property. The City's stated reasons for denying the amendment centered on the City's desire to preserve the subject property as open, recreational space. within the City — relying on the City's power to provide parks and open space for its citizens. Under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment, however, no city may take private property for a public purpose without paying just compensation to the property owner. 2 0 • BATC's members rely on the availability of appropriate amendments to change land uses from open space or other uses to residential, in order to provide the new housing needed to accommodate the growing population in the metropolitan area. Furthermore, they rely on such amendments to permit new, economically viable uses where, due to changed circumstances, the previously permitted use of specific property has become economically unsustainable. Such amendments are especially appropriate to allow InfilP' of close -in suburbs, such as Eagan, rather than forcing persons desiring to purchase a new home to move to the metropolitan fringe, requiring larger public investments in new roads, sewers, and other infrastructure. BATC's members also rely on the fair application of a city's rules for dedication of park land, such that no individual landowner will bear a disproportionate burden in supplying the land deemed necessary by a cityfor its citizens' recreational activities. No single owner should be required to g dedicate land, without compensation, to a recreational use for the benefit of the public, where that use has become economically unsustainable as a privately -operated business, and the city refuses to permit any other use of the property.. BATC offers a development and public policy perspective on the issues presented in this case. BATC's concern is with the honoring of investment -backed expectations as well as with the. viability of the amendment process to change permitted uses in response to changed circumstances. BATC is also concerned that the City in this case effectively secured land as long-term recreational open space, at the expense of the property owner, without going through the process of acquiring the property itself, in violation of the • Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. BATC submits that the Court of Appeals erroneously found that the City's denial of a comprehensive plan amendment did not amount to a taking under Penn Central Transp. Co. v. New York City, 438 U.S. 104 (1978), Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, 505 UIS. 1003, 1015 (1992), and I McShane v. City of Faribault, 292 N.W.2d 253 (Minn. 11980). The interpretation of these cases and the application of the regulatory takings framework to the comprehensive planning process both raise significant questions of concern to BATC's members. The purpose of the Takings Clause is to keep the Igovemment from "forcing some people alone to bear public burdens which, in all fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a whole." Armstrong v. United States, 364 U.S. 40, 49 (1960). Here, the Court of Appeals has turned that purpose on its head, holding instead that because of "the city's broad and substantial interests" in adopting a comprehensive plan, "any harm to the individual property owner in maintaining the existing restriction does not appear to be one that should be borne by the entire community." Pet. App. 30. The City sought to maintain the designation of this property as a golf course based on its "`legitimate interests in protecting open and recreational space ...."' Pet. App. 25,uy otinQ Mendota Golf, 708 N.W.2d at 181. While the City has a "legitimate interest" in providing public recreational opportunities, the Court of Appeals improperly permitted the City to force an individual property owner to bear the cost of meeting that public purpose. As this Court held in McShane, "where land use regulations ... are designed to benefit a specific public or governmental enterprise, there must be compensation to landowners whose property has suffered a substantial and measurable decline in market value as a result of the regulations." 292 N.W.2d at 258-59. The Court of Appeals' 4 ii • • • decision in this case overlooked that Penn Central and McShane do not require a finding that property has become valueless as a. result of gbvernmental regulation in order to constitute a taking; what they require is a showing of a substantial and measurable loss of value. Petitioners' undisputed evidence met that standard, and should have resulted in a decision that the City's refusal to amend its comprehensive plan caused serious economic , injury to Respondents, compensable under the Takings Clause. The Court of Appeals' decision also raises issues concerning whether a city may, effectively, impose a disproportionate park dedication requirement through insisting that a single landowner's property must remain available as open space for others to use, even where that use is no longer economically viable. See Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 20(a) - ("The [park) fee or dedication must bear a rough proportionality to the need created by the proposed subdivision or development."); Collis v. City of Bloomin on, 310 Minn. 5, 246 N.W.2d 19, 26 (1976) (state's park dedication statute does not violate the Takings Clause, provided that dedication requirement is not administered arbitrarily or unfairly). In sum, BATC respectfully requests leave to appear as an amicus curiae, and requests that this Court grant review to consider the important issues raised in this case.
