CITY OF EAGAN
3795 Pilot knob Road
Eagan, MN 55122 •
Dear Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
As a landowner and future developer in Eagan, Dayton
Hudson Properties appreciates the opportunity to comment
on proposed ordinance Number 52 as it relates to our
plans for our property in Eagan.
Very briefly, Dayton Hudson Properties proposes to develop
a multi -functional, major diversified center on an
approximate 610-acre site located almost exclusively in the
extreme northeast corner of Eagan. We fully expect that
our development will include a regional,shopping center,
other convenience and general retail uses, various office
uses, possible .medical uses, residential development and
land for public use.
Specifically, in regard to Ordinance 52, we find that the
proposal to be generally an excellent work product and wish
to comment only upon Subdivision 12-RSC Regional Shopping
Center_ District, which we understand is the revised•zoning
proposed for all property now owned by Dayton Hudson Properties.
Our questions and comments are as follows:
1. While we understand and applaud Eagan's desire
to have Regional Shopping Center development
structured under a "planned development"process,
we are unclear as to the. timing, mechanics and
necessity of the procedure. Our interpretation
of Subdivision 7, Planned Development District,
is that it involves virtually another re -zoning.
process with the incumbent petition, public hearing,
notice and procedures to be followed as if the
request were for a re -zoning. We feel this is
unnecessary. Our experience tells us that although
the master plan of our developments has-been
generally closely executed there are many inev:i_table
changes due to different retailing techniques,
marketing advances and customer desires. Since
Southdale, our centers have been "planned
developments", whether labeled that or not. An
City of Eagan

important point to remember is that a center
as large as Dayton Iludson Properties proposes
in Eagan takes from ten to -fifteen years to become
_fully implemented. Although Southdale. is almost .
20 years olcl, we are constantly studying new
alternatives that could serve the community and •
our customers better. Our perimeter or peripheral
land at Southdale is still not fully developed,
although it -is in the heart of one of the most
economically desirable demographic areas of the
United States. Our basic concern is that we don't
get "locked into" a plan that can't be living and
flexible enough to adapt .to whatever new social,
economic or technological opportunities occur in the
next fifteen to twenty years and that the mechanics
of adapting don't become so cumbersome as to
discourage innovation and leadership.which we feel
have traditionally characterized our developments.
We have no objection to a "review process" of any
and all of the major Or ancillary developments
that may occur on our site. We have had a
favorable experience with this type of process in
Roseville, Minnesota; and we feel it has been
mutually beneficial to Dayton Hudson Properties and
Roseville.
2. We feel that Subdivision 12-B-4 is too limited.
The uses listed under 12-C "conditional uses"
should be included under 12-B-4 as permitted uses.
Section 52.09 Subdivision 4 defines the purpose of
conditional use permits and states -"conditional uses
include those generally not suitable in a particular
zoning district but which may, under some.
circumstances, be suitable. When such circumstances
exist, a conditional use permit maybe issued."
As a developer, we find this language too
unpredictable and narrow to invest the time and
capital necessary to plan a major diversified center
without more liberally defined permitted land uses
under the RSC zoning. We see no conflict with Tthe
goals of the conditional use procedure as Section 52.09,
Subdivision. 4-C states in part "if it (council)
determines that.the proposed location of the
conditional use is in accord with the objectives of
the comprehensive plan and the purposes of the
district in which the site is located and that it
would not be materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity." In our opinion these
goals are met at our site; and, consequently, the
uses listed as "conditional" should more properly
City of Eagan
Page 3
December 30, 1974
be included under 12-B-4 as permitted uses. •
Again, we would have no objection to a specific
site review process for all of the. proposals as
they become active to'be reviewed by the planning
commission and the city council.
3. A minor concern is over the exact interpretation
of the difference between Class 1 and Class 2
restaurants and the appropriateplace for them
within a major diversified center. The proposed -
definition of Class 1 restaurant would seem to •
preclude some of the popular kiosk and convenience.
food operations at our other interior mall centers..
We would like some clarifications on this point.
In addition to the past, present and future study and work
the Eagan public officials, the Dayton Hudson Properties'
project in Eagan will be one of the most studied projects.
in the history of Minnesota by the time construction begins.
Federal, state, county and local planning agencies will be
involved. The National Environmental Protection Agency
'regulations that become nationally effective in two days
will be followed to the letter, including a full and complete
environmental impact statement. A minimum of three state
agencies will review the proposal; namely, the Department:of
Natural Resources, the Pollution Control Agency;. and the
Environmental Quality Council. The Metropolitan Council will
review the center under its "major diversified center"'
category. The Metropolitan Transit Commission and the State
of Minnesota and Dakota County highway departments will be
continually involved.in the project. Appropriate.approvals
from the Watershed District will be sought. Dayton Hudson
Properties agrees with and sees the necessity for the various
approvals by agencies setup to safeguard our total community
from some of the oversights and planning mistakes of the`
past. We will take the time and pay the price to bring the
finest possible regional center to Eagan. We won't
compromise with our standard of quality and leadership for
center. development. In return, we ask. from Eagan the
atmosphere and flexibility to enable usto achieve our goal
for Dayton Hudson Properties _and Eagan.
Thank you for your consideration of our request,and we are
certainly most ready to meet with you at any .time regarding
any part of our future plans in• Eagan.
Sincerely,
ck Rice

Dear John and Paul,
Thank you for taking the time to meet yesterday. This letter is my
understanding of what we agreed upon. The City Planning Consultant
and the City Attorney will prepare and recommend to the Planning
Commission and City Council the following revisions in proposed
ordinance #52:
1. Subdivision 12-RSC Regional Shopping Center District will be amended
to RSC-PD Regional Shopping Center Planned Development. The inten-
tion is to retain the safeguards and advantages of the planned develop-
ment concept without requiring the developer to virtually seek re-
zoning approval through the formal planned development procedure. We
understand that the same exhibits and eventual contract or agreement
will be required of the developer and that the actual plan when pre-
sented is subject to review by the Planning Commission and City Council.
2. Subdivision 12-B-3 should be amend d to allow Class II restaurants.
lac,(-G--- __ eo-- c-..) / e ) -A,17,-7)..c esz-,-
3. Subdivision 12-B-4, Permitted Peripheral Uses, should be amended "to
include uses already permitted under 12-B-2 (with the exception of
auto accessories) and those uses included on the attached list that
are pencil checked.
4. Subdivision 12-C, Conditional Uses, should be amended to include those
uses included on the attached list that are both pencil checked and
pen checked.

I recognize that some of the language is a little out of date and
some of the uses I've checked are somewhat unlikely and invite you
to call me if you wish to add or detract. These are merely sugges-
tions to help you. I'm happy to meet again anytime to help in any
way possible and I will certainly appear before your Planning Com-
mission and Council to explain why we are commenting so late in the
game and answer any questions.
B-� personal regards,

development since such development and the obtaining of such
leases is a very expensive matter, we have made the request for
your action. You can appreciate the difficulties in obtaining such
leasing arrangements notknowing for certain that it would be possi-
ble to construct upon these premises the type of structure util-
ized in a shopping center.
Thank you for your kind consideration, and after
your Planning Board and you have met, I would appreciate hearing
from you. I will be pleased to answer any questions you may
direct to me and to have any of us appear again if you require it.
Very ruly yours,
