Wachter moved, Hunter seconded a motion to approve the Consent Agenda with the exception of Item G which was removed for discussion. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 CEDARVALE AREA SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT LEGISLATIVE AUTHORIZATION Mayor Egan introduced this item as Cedarvale Area Special Service District Legislative Authorization. City Administrator Hedges explained background of the special service district. Assistant to the City Administrator Jon Hohenstein described the location of the special service district and reviewed the improvements proposed to be part of that district. He said there was some residual residential property, however, it was not eligible to be part of the special service district. 00030 Page 3/EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 1, 1994 Gary Morgan, President of the Eagan Chamber of Commerce, was available to answer questions and thanked the City Council for its support. He said the special service district was basically the formation of a "homeowners association" to control and improve the area. There was discussion as to when the special district would take effect and it was noted that legislation usually takes effect on August 1. Assistant to the City Administrator Hohenstein advised that an effective date could be specified and made part of the legislation. Councilmember Wachter noted that even if the district is approved, the Cedarvale area still has to find a way to draw people to the area to do business. He repeated his suggestion that Cedarvale focus on amusement and physical fitness. Councilmember Hunter indicated his agreement, however, noted that besides drawing patrons to an area, it must not repel people either. He said it was important to remove any negative aspects standing in the way of Cedarvale's success. Hunter moved, Awada seconded a motion to approve a resolution requesting legislative authorization to form Eagan Special Service District #1 for the Cedarvale area to provide the special services indicated in the attachment. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 R-94.10 PROJECT 643/OSLUND-TIMBERLINE ADDITION - STREET REHABILITATION Mayor Egan introduced this item as Project 643, Oslund-Timberline Addition (Street Rehabilitation). Director of Public Works Colbert provided background on this item and noted that the City's five-year capital improvements program had identified the Oslund-Timberline Addition as part of that program. He said staff had evaluated the condition of the streets and performed a historical analysis of the storm sewer, sanitary sewer and trunk water main. He reported that after the preliminary report was prepared, an informational meeting was held on November 30, 1993. As a result, the feasibility report has been finalized and the public hearing scheduled. Mark Hanson of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, made a slide presentation illustrating the condition of streets in the project area and noted that 80 percent of the streets warranted reconstruction and 20 percent warranted an overlay. He stated there were no streets where only sealcoating would be cost effective. Mr. Hanson then explained the proposed improvements and their installation. During his presentation, Mr. Hanson noted a proposed change to the access onto Highway 13 and discussed several areas where erosion is severe and should be addressed. He explained two alternatives which are not at this time included in the project which could be employed to deal with some of the overland drainage. In closing, Mr. Hanson discussed the total cost of the project and the properties proposed to be assessed. John Gustin, 3061 Woodlark Lane, said the project is not appropriate and he especially does not want curbing installed. He noted his opposition to repairing streets in his neighborhood before the Country Home Heights Addition even has pavement. In answer to a question, Director of Public Works Colbert explained the pavement condition index and its implications. He reviewed each of the streets in the project area and their PCI rating and noted that while Pine Ridge Drive is in good condition after having been replaced in 1985, all others are in very poor condition and will soon need major reconstruction. Neil Kveberg, 1590 McCarthy Road, expressed his opposition to the project, especially the installation of curbing. He said there has been no problem with drainage. Darren Doheny, representing his mother, Marian Doheny, 3070 McCarthy Ridge Road, indicated that they prefer the natural and rustic setting. He said the curbing was unnecessary because of the natural runoff which he said was not causing erosion problems. In referring to water standing on the roads, Mr. Doheny advised that it had never caused an accident. He also referred to the fact that soil is sandy in that area and stated that any diversion of the runoff could cause overdrying and subsequent brush fires. He then addressed the proposal to ease the curve that leads down to Highway 13. He noted that the curve helps slow traffic down 00031 Page 4/EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 1, 1994 before entrance onto a major highway. He discussed the cost to the property which he said would make the property less desirable because of the higher taxes. Mr. Doheny said his mother is a widow and cannot afford an assessment, especially one that provides no benefit. Mayor Egan noted for Mr. Doheny that the City will hire appraisers to insure that the assessments do not exceed the benefit to the property. City Councilmember Hunter asked why, if there were only three accidents, it was necessary to straighten McCarthy Road just before Highway 13. Director of Public Works Colbert said with a curve as sharp as this one, motorists tend to cross the centerline . He said the danger is if one can't see oncoming traffic. In this case, the curve is not being straightened, just being made more gentle. Mr. Doheny pointed out that the sharp curve keeps speeds down and changing that may raise speeds and the number of accidents at this intersection. Pat McCarthy, representing James McCarthy, 3004 Woodlark Lane, said they were opposed to the project and said the street is in good shape as it is. Sven Borgersen, 1529 McCarthy Road, indicated serious problems with the proposal. He said the Engineering Division had not done its homework because he owns his property outright and it cannot be modified without his agreement. He also said he would not accept any overland drainage on his property. Mr. Borgersen then referred to a number of natural springs in this area and said the project should be reconsidered. There was additional discussion about Mr. Borgersen's claim that his property was purchased under tax forfeit and he cannot be assessed. The City Attorney will research. Richard Gaworski, 3052 Cherrywood Court, spoke against the project and noted that cracking pavement was not justification for the project. He said there is limited traffic in the project area and alternatives should be considered. He said they have bituminous curbing along his street which is in excellent condition and asked that the City Council not replace the curbing just because it does not meet current standards. He too asked that the curve just prior to Highway 13 not be straightened because of the danger of the increased traffic and speed. Mr. Gaworski questioned the City's repair and maintenance of the street. Director of Public Works Colbert indicated that routine maintenance, sealcoating and cracksealing, is performed every seven to ten years. He said if the "alligator" cracking is beyond what can be repaired with cracksealing, it calls for improvements beyond sealcoating. When the larger cracks fill with water, the constant thawing and freezing begins to affect the road base. Mayor Egan also addressed the question of fairness. He referred to the reconstruction of virtually all the streets in Cedar Grove and the installation of concrete curbing even where bituminous curbing currently existed. The Mayor said the decision was made to bring all neighborhood streets up to current City standards as reconstruction became necessary. Tom Winkel, 1575 McCarthy Road, said his property was an example of major erosion. His property gets major runoff from Red Cedar Road and he has spent approximately $6,000 rebuilding his lot line. He said something has to be done to take care of the problem. Mr. Winkel said a comment was made by one of the City's consulting engineers that the road was not graded properly when it was constructed; therefore, he is vehemently opposed to paying for something that was not done properly in the first place. He added, however, that Director of Public Works Colbert had recommended a solution to erosion to the lot line but his neighbor had refused to allow the City onto the property. Marilyn McNurlin, 3036 McCarthy Ridge Road, said she could see no need for the improvements, especially the curbing. She said the roads were in good condition and there was natural drainage causing no water problems. She too mentioned that straightening the curve would cause more danger than if left as it is. Ms. McNurlin said the road improvements would not improve her property at all and she was opposed to the entire project. Page 5/EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 1, 1994 Dick Kirch, 3020 Woodlark Lane, said he didn't want the project forced down the residents' throats and noted that Woodlark Lane is a beautiful street and only needs sealcoating. Mr. Kirch said that the City's snow plows have ruined the curb, however they are not needed anyway. In addition, if people need streetlights, they should move back to Minneapolis or St. Paul. Mr. Kirch stated that streets should last forever and, in closing, he suggested that the City help Tom Winkel but leave the rest alone. George Stevenson, 3030 Sibley Memorial Highway, asked that his property be excluded from the project. Eleanor Keegan, 3034 Sibley Memorial Highway, said they have to maintain their own street and don't believe they should be assessed. Don Giblin, 1498 Red Cedar Road, said the City shouldn't be telling the residents what they need, rather they should be going to the City with any problems. He questioned the project when there is only one person who has a problem and asked who was pushing for the project. Mr. Giblin complained that their street has never been sealcoated and said that if their streets had been maintained, they would still be in good shape. He referred to the streets in St. Paul that are still there after 75 years. He then questioned where the project was coming from and stated that if this is a consulting engineering error, they should not have to pay to fix it. In closing, he said Country Home Heights should put in their streets first. Director of Public Works Colbert advised that nobody was pushing the project and the City is only trying to evaluate all of the infrastructure in the City and its maximum longevity. He noted that sealcoating will do nothing to prevent the further deterioration of these streets. In response to a question, Mr. Colbert indicated he did not have a lot of information on St. Paul streets, however he did note that all St. Paul residents pay a street assessment each year. Because of this policy, the City of St. Paul has had the money to do repairs on an annual basis. Right now, St. Paul streets are being reconstructed as part of the sewer separation project and being paid for with State and Federal dollars. He said he couldn't help but wonder, if all St. Paul streets are in such good condition, why so many residents want to be the next street reconstructed. Mr. Giblin then questioned the maintenance his street has received and Director of Public Works Colbert said the issue would be researched. Dan Sovinski, 3044 Highway 13, indicated he owns the whole corner and is opposed to the project. He stated that Mr. Winkel's problem should be corrected, however, the rest should be left alone. Mr. Sovinski has two lots and said the assessments would not be fair and the money could be spent more wisely. Gene Miller, 3061 Loon Lane, agreed that the streets were in poor condition but said they haven't received any maintenance. He said the only maintenance received has been when the snow plow damaged the curb and the City has sent a crew to fix it. Mr. Miller said he could not afford the improvements as he lives on a limited income. Karl Kassulke, 3030 McCarthy Ridge Road, said the present road is adequate and while a sealcoating might be necessary, no major reconstruction is. Mr. Kassulke, who uses a wheelchair, said that he does not want curbs because for him, they are an obstacle. He said he wanted to go on record as being opposed to the project. Diane Severe, 1544 McCarthy Road, stated that the streets are in poor shape and the City's professional staff must have reasons for wanting to reconstruct them. Sven Borgersen spoke again and agreed there has been some maintenance on McCarthy Road. He said Tom Winkel's property has to be fixed because of the serious problems he's encountering; however, any thing further would present a problem because of the natural springs that have been plugged in the past by builders. Mr. Borgersen again alluded to his purchase of tax forfeit property and its affect on all assessments then and in the future. He also suggested that all easements on the property were canceled with his purchase. 000 0,713 Page 6/EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 1, 1994 Mayor Egan then closed the hearing to public input. City Councilmember Hunter noted the number of comments regarding the PCI (pavement condition index) rating and said more goes into arriving at that number than just looking at the road. In addition, he stated that he had not heard a compelling reason to straighten the curves on McCarthy Road. He then asked Director of Public Works Colbert whether research had been done into the natural springs mentioned by Mr. Borgersen. Director of Public Works Colbert said staff is aware of the springs and advised that Pine Ridge Drive had been constructed with attention to that detail. Mayor Egan stated his major concern was the economic viability of the project. Councilmember Awada agreed and asked whether it might not be appropriate to remove the O'Dell Addition from the project. Councilmember Wachter suggested that the project be deferred three or four months to resolve the outstanding issues. Councilmember Masin noted that Cedar Grove is essentially the same age as this project area. With less traffic, she questioned why all the PCI numbers in this project were so low. Director of Public Works Colbert said it may be the presence of underground water, however, there are other factors such as different paving methods, different construction techniques, and different contractors, which could all have a bearing on a street's longevity. Discussion then took place regarding the five-year capital improvements program. There was some question about whether it should be reprioritized, however there were also concerns that if the project is delayed one or two years, it will only cost more. Councilmember Wachter agreed that the problems are there and the project should be looked at again in three or four months to see if the project should be deferred for one or two years. Councilmember Hunter reiterated some of the questions that need to be answered, including the legal questions on the Borgersen property, whether the design on McCarthy Road approaching Highway 13 should be redesigned, whether the storm sewer and drainage issues could be removed from the project, the benefit to the properties and whether the project is overdesigned, the sealcoating and maintenance history for this area, and why Cedar Grove has a higher PCI rating. Councilmember Awada suggested it may be worthwhile to walk these streets and discuss reconstruction further in workshop session. Mayor Egan said that the City Council has already adopted a policy and each project has to stand on its own merits. Councilmember Hunter agreed but indicated he would like more detail on the PCI rating, noting that the cul-de-sacs in this project area had the lowest PCI while in the Cedar Grove project, they were the highest. Councilmember Awada asked how much more it would cost if the streets in question were allowed to continue to deteriorate. Director of Public Works Colbert explained that because of the major reconstruction already proposed, the project cost would not increase much more than the cost of inflation. He added, however, that the Council may want to address how much more the City wants to invest in the area in maintenance dollars and perhaps the dollars would be better spent elsewhere. He assured the City Council that the roads would be maintained in a safe condition. Mayor Egan suggested that the hearing be continued and the project brought back in four months (June 7) with all issues addressed. He said that would give the City Council an opportunity to revisit the issue and decide whether it is prudent to defer the project logistically, financially and legally. Councilmember Hunter made a motion to that effect with a second by Councilmember Masin. Director of Public Works Colbert suggested that if the City Council would like staff to do further research and then based on the information received, proceed or not proceed, it may be appropriate to deny the project. Then, if the City Council decided to continue, another public hearing could be scheduled to formally present the information or, if based on the information received the City Council decided not to continue, the project could remain denied. Mayor Egan agreed saying if the residents do not receive notice of another public Page 7/EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 00034 February 1, 1994 hearing, they can assume that the City Council has made a choice not to proceed with the project. The motioner and second agreed to this change. Hunter moved, Masin seconded a motion to close the public hearing and deny Project 643 (Oslund- Timberline, McCarthy Ridge, and O'Dell Additions - Street Restoration). Aye: 5 Nay: 0 .Jow PROJECT 656/CEDARVALE ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS Mayor Egan introduced this item as Project 656, select improvement option for further study (Cedarvale Access Improvements). City Administrator Hedges stated that on June 15, 1993, the City Council acknowledged a contribution of $4,000 from the Cedarvale merchants and commissioned a study to evaluate potential access improvements in the Cedarvale area. Director of Public Works Colbert explained that as a result of the study, two alternatives for the Silver Bell Road access intersection were prepared and meetings held to review the alternatives and benefits of each with the merchants. He noted that they had not received any objections to doing something with the intersection and the majority of support was for Alternate 1. Mr. Colbert said while there was some support for Alternate 2, there were objections from the business owners on Beau d'Rue Drive. In closing, he advised that if the improvements are to be realized in 1995, work will have to begin this spring. The City Council agreed that with the comments overwhelmingly in favor of Alternate 1, their support would be in that direction. City Councilmember Hunter said it was curious there wasn't more support for Alternate 2 when it puts so much more traffic before the businesses. Gary Morgan, President of the Eagan Chamber of Commerce and John Fitzgerald, representing Cedarvale Highlands, were present and Mr. Fitzgerald said Alternate 2 would be bad for businesses on Beau d'Rue and would be a step backward from what they were trying to accomplish. Awada moved, Hunter seconded a motion to select Alternate A in the final feasibility report prepared for Project 656 (Cedarvale Area - Access Improvements). Aye: 5 Nay: 0 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT/CHAPTER 11 Mayor Egan introduced this item as an ordinance amendment to Chapter 11 (zoning), Section 11.03, regarding the definition of rental shops and Section 11.20, Subdivision 10B, allowing rental shops in NB (Neighborhood Business) districts. City Administrator Hedges noted that this item had been before the Advisory Planning Commission at their January 25, 1994 meeting and they had recommended approval. Mayor Egan commented that perhaps the Neighborhood Business, Roadside Business, and Limited Business designations were outdated and may need to be reviewed. Wachter moved, Awada seconded a motion to approve an amendment to Chapter 11, Section 11.03 (87) regarding the definition of rental shops and Section 11.20, Subdivision 10B allowing rental shops in neighborhood business districts. Aye: 5 Nay. 0 BUILDING PERMIT/AMERICAN RED CROSS Mayor Egan introduced this item as consider building permit, American Red Cross, Eagandale Industrial Park, Eagandale Boulevard at Eagandale Court. Director of Community Development Reichert explained that EFH Company, represented by Mr. Gene Happe, has been selected to develop a 25,000 square foot office building to be used as a national blood testing laboratory for the American Red Cross. She stated that while 00035 Page 8/EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 1,1994 the property chosen by the American Red Cross is properly zoned, it is currently platted as two separate lots and will need to be replatted into one lot to accommodate this development. Ms. Reichert advised, however, that the American Red Cross is anxious to begin construction because the search for a property close to the airport took so long and in order for EFH Company to meet the Red Cross deadline, they have requested a building permit for the footings, foundation and outer shell. While granting the request would appear to be unprecedented, Ms. Reichert noted there are some justifications to permit it. She then listed staffs recommendations for conditions of approval. Gene Happe, representing EFH Company, advised that they do not like to ask for special favors, however, the Red Cross mandate is to be operational by September 1. He said it is a testing lab and not a public building so there won't be a lot of traffic coming and going throughout the day. Mr. Happe further explained that the two lots have the same owner, however, because one is torrens property and one is abstract, they have to be replatted. Mayor Egan cautioned that it is not usually the original applicant who causes a problem with actions such as this, but the applicant who takes advantage of the precedent later. Director of Public Works Colbert noted that streets and utilities are all in and it is only the legal title that has to be put in order. As such, he said staff does not have a concern that a precedent will be set. Councilmember Wachter asked if this was the best location for the laboratory and Mr. Happe said it is the best property that meets their requirements. The Councilmember asked what would become of the property if the airport moves and Mr. Happe indicated that would have to be dealt with when it occurs. After brief discussion, Awada moved, Hunter seconded a motion to approve issuance of a building permit to EFH Company for construction of an American Red Cross blood testing laboratory in Eagandale Industrial Park prior to final platting, subject to the following conditions: 1. Issuance of a building permit is conditioned upon: a) submission of a complete preliminary plat application b) submission by the applicant for approval by staff of grading, drainage, and utility plans for the site c) submission by the applicant for approval by staff of a complete set of architecturally certified building plans d) written agreement from the appropriate Red Cross representative to the conditions set forth by the City Council 2. Issuance of the certificate of occupancy and provision of water service is conditioned upon City Council approval of the final plat and recording by the applicant. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 .........................................................EN........... M . T tAT ...'`tl f;'?D APPOINTMENT/EDC Mayor Egan introduced this item as appointment to the Economic Development Commission. City Administrator Hedges explained that Bradley Folkert, who had been appointed to a three-year term on the Economic Development Commission, had accepted a job outside the City and would be unable to serve his term with the Commission. Because no library of names is available to fill this vacancy, the City Administrator suggested that an advertisement be placed in the local newspapers for interested applicants. He noted that an EDC member is aware of a potential applicant who missed the earlier deadline and will likely apply. Page 9/EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 1, 1994 Wachter moved, Masin seconded a motion to authorize staff to advertise in the local newspapers for volunteers interested in filling a vacancy on the Economic Development Commission. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 ROTARY CLUB ART AUCTION/TEMPORARY DIRECTIONAL SIGN Mayor Egan introduced this item as a temporary directional sign, Rotary Club Art Auction. City Administrator Hedges provided a brief background on this item. The Mayor noted that as a Rotarian, he would abstain from discussion or voting on this item. Masin moved, Awada seconded a motion to approve a one-day, temporary sign permit for the Eagan Rotary Art Auction on February 5, 1994. Aye: 4 Nay: 0 Abstain: 1 (Egan) RELEASE OF DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT AGREEMENT/ALDEN PONDS ADDITION Mayor Egan introduced this item as a release of development contract agreement, Alden Ponds Addition. Wachter moved, Hunter seconded a motion to approve the Alden Ponds development contract release and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. Aye: 5 Nay. 0 04 VACATION/SAFARI @ EAGAN ADDITION Director of Public Works Colbert introduced this item as vacate trailway right-of-way, receive request/schedule public hearing (Safari @ Eagan Addition). He further explained that the item had been removed from the Consent Agenda for separate action. After brief explanation, Hunter moved, Awada seconded a motion authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a revised resolution referencing a trailway right-of-way vacation located within Outlot A of Safari @ Eagan Addition. Aye: 5 Nay. 0 DAKOTA COUNTY REQUEST FOR CITY PURCHASE OF HOMES City Administrator Hedges stated that a request had been received from Dakota County relative to their purchase of right-of-way for the Lexington-Lone Oak intersection improvement. Because the homes in question are eligible for Part 150 funding, the County has asked whether the City would purchase the homes in total to control the costs of right of way acquisition. Councilmember Awada stated that she didn't think the homes at this intersection should be sound insulated and the relatively small amount of money associated with the Part 150 program could be better spent elsewhere. She noted that one of the problems with the property at Lexington and Lone Oak is the zoning and suggested a commercial designation may make more sense with the heavy amount of traffic. Mayor Egan agreed saying the use of Part 150 program funding seemed to stretch logic and if the City were to use dollars for acquisition, there were other areas more affected by airport noise. Councilmember Awada said this property would likely be developed by the private sector. Action will be deferred because of the reasons stated. SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING Egan moved, Wachter seconded a motion to schedule a Special City Council meeting for February 15, 1994 at 5:00 p.m. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 Page 10/EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 1, 1994 CHECKLIST Wachter moved, Egan seconded a motion to approve the checklist dated January 28, 1994 in the amount of $350,776.45 and the checklist dated January 28, 1994 in the amount of $799,009.21.
