Aye: 5 Nay: 0 MINUTES OF JULY 5, 1994 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING Councilmember Hunter noted a correction on page 2 under the consent agenda regarding gambling permits. He would like it to read, "Councilmember Hunter stated that it is not in the best interest of the city to approve every permit that Is requested. He felt that a policy needs to be developed which clarifies the criteria for approving permits." Wachter moved, Hunter seconded a motion to approve the minutes as corrected. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 MINUTES OF JULY 5, 1994 SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING Councilmember Wachter noted a correction on page 2, that "Frank Kuhn" should be "Fred Kuhn". He also noted a correction that references to the "Basil" farm should be corrected to read "Boesel" farm. Hunter moved, Wachter seconded a motion to approve the minutes as corrected. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 MINUTES OF JUNE 14, 1994 SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING Hunter moved, Wachter seconded a motion to approve the minutes as submitted. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 Floyd Hiar, 3720 Knoll Ridge Drive, expressed a concern about the second phase of the Blackhawk Road construction. Residents must go through the Manitou Townhomes or use Highway 13, which is very dangerous and feels there should be some signalization. He also feels that some work needs to be done on the timing of the signals at the intersection of Silver Bell Road and Highway 13. He would like to see Knoll Ridge Drive extended to connect with Ashbury Place. The area is somewhat landlocked and feels that would help. Public Works Director Colbert indicated he did take a look at Knoll Ridge Drive, and it is heavily wooded beyond the dead end, and would take considerable grubbing and clearing. He Isn't sure if it Is park property, but it Is not possible to do that work In conjunction with the Blackhawk project. If the Council wants to extend Knoll Ridge Drive, they could authorize a feasibility report. Usually, a petition of at least 35% of the affected property owners Is required, but this situation is unique. Regarding access, he worked with the contractor and they have provided access to Blue Cross Road. Opening Silver Bell Road Is a significant concern of the contractor as they feel it would be a safety hazard. Councilmember Hunter suggested a field survey be done of what the project would entail. Egan and Wachter concurred. Wachter suggested the Public Works committee could look at it also. Egan indicated he would like to know the changes in the traffic plan projections for that area. EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; JULY 19, 1994 PAGE 2 Councilmember Wachter noted that the fireplace in the shelter at Trapp Farm Park needs tuckpointing. He also noted there was a request for horseshoe pits there. Councilmember Awada noted she received some complaints about the water treatment center on Cliff Road and Pilot Knob Road and indicated she is glad that that problem has been taken care of. #NNNA In regard to Item D, Recommendation. Aimort Relations Committee. FAA Interpretation of Part 150 Sound Insulation Program, Awada asked whether a choice is necessary on this or whether the Council just needs to approve the recommendation. Assistant to the Administrator Hohenstein indicated that the Council can modify the recommendation. The recommendation from the committee supports the offer to grandfather the homes in the Highview and Vilas blocks at the first available opportunity. Also, to avoid losing funds for the 1994 funding cycle, another list of names was submitted, with the understanding that the grandfathered homes be done first. Mayor Egan asked what the time frame Is for these homes to be done. Hohenstein answered that the Issue that Is holding this up is the Interpretation of the squaring off concept. Discussion followed concerning what areas will likely be done first. In regard to Item E, Project 672, Approve Cost Participation Agreement with Dakota County and MnDOT (C.R. 32 and T.H. 3 - Signalization and Intersection improvements), Councilmember Wachter asked for further clarification on the costs. Public Works Director Colbert noted that the city's share in the signalization is 25% or $27,000. He noted this agreement is to approve the cost participation formulas. Mayor Egan asked what source will be used for this. Tom Colbert indicated it is the Major Street Fund Construction. It is in the city's Capital Improvement Program. In regard to Item F, Contract 88-36, Approve change Order #1 (Eagandale Center Industrial Park 3rd Addition - Utilities). Wachter asked whether this is the City's responsibility. Public Works Director Colbert noted that the total cost was the responsibility of the development, and was assessed entirely. In regard to Item I, Reschedule, Request by Linda and Bruce Dahl to reschedule refuse 12ick-uI2, Mayor Egan asked whether this should be continued since the Dahis were not present. Administrator Hedges stated he feels it could be continued to another meeting. Councilmember Hunter stated he doesn't want to set a precedent by approving this. Administrator Hedges suggested it could be continued to the first Item under old business at the next meeting. In regard to Item K, Modification of Fire Department C.I.P. for purchase of Heavy Rescue/Air Supply Vehicle. Wachter commended the fire department for their vision on getting this vehicle. Hunter concurred, stating they are thinking ahead. A. Personnel Items Item 1.

Aye: 5 Nay: 0 ....t..fi ......<..H ..............I ......G P9 PROJECT 656, CEDARVALE ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS ,v,, EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; JULY 19, 1994 PAGE 4 Mayor Egan Introduced this item as Project 656, Cedarvale Access Improvements, Silver Bell Road and T.H. 13. Administrator Hedges explained that this was in response to a petition received from Cedarvale Merchants Association. He added that the Cedarvale Merchants Association made a financial contribution to the city to proceed with a study and feasibility report that would address access Improvements to the Cedarvale area. The Engineering Department looked at different scenarios, Including connecting Rahn Road to T.H. 13, as well as different configurations for Beau D Rue Road, and overall Cedarvale access. The feasibility report has been submitted. He noted that he received a letter from representatives of the owners of Express Donuts wherein they raised several issues. Public Works Director Colbert indicated there have been several meetings with the Cedarvale Merchants Association, and also a neighborhood Informational meeting on July 7th. There were over 20 property owners present, wherein they reviewed the details and history of this project. This was requested by the area merchants to see if there is a way to Improve access to try to revitalize the Cedarvale area. He introduced Leonard Newquist of SEH, who prepared the feasibility report. Leonard Newquist reviewed the current intersection configurations and the plans for Improvements to those Intersections. They are trying to ease the access from T.H. 13 onto Silver Bell Road. He noted there are two alternates. Alternate #1 would combine the intersections of Silver Bell Road, Beau D Rue Drive and Cedarvale Boulevard, thereby eliminating the extra connection that Is very close to T.H. 13. It would be a four way stop, with dual left turn lanes onto T.H. 13 from Silver Bell Road, a thru lane, and a right turn lane onto T.H. 13. There will also be a right turn lane from T.H. 13 onto Silver Bell Road. Raised concrete medians are proposed on Silver Bell Road between Beau D Rue Drive and T.H. 13, with the remainder of traffic control to come from striping and signing. This would require a total reconstruction of the southeast side of this intersection. The northwesterly side would be a widening of Silver Bell Road to accommodate the traffic flow. This alignment works very well, except it would completely eliminate the Express Donuts shop. Alternate #2 has the same configuration for turning movements as Alternate #1, except that Cedarvale Drive is placed more northerly to avoid the Express Donuts building. Beau D Rue Drive and Silver Bell Road are also placed farther to the north, so more traffic signal revisions would be required under this alternate. Right-of-way acquisition will be required under both alternates. There will be two street lights at the intersection of Silver Bell Road, and Cedarvale Drive to improve lighting. The total cost for Alternate #1 Is $795,000. The total cost for Alternate #2 Is $692,500, because of the additional signal modifications. The easement costs are significantly lower, however. The assessments are based on the final construction costs, plus an estimated 35% Indirect costs, and the total cost of the right-of-way necessary. The assessments would be spread over 15 years, and the Interest rate would be determined at the time of the bond sale. There will be a two level assessment to the area to the southeast of T.H. 13. Level A will be those within a 1/4 mile radius of the Intersection of T.H. 13 and Silver Bell Road. Level B will be those located beyond Level A, and within a 1 1 /2 mile radius of this Intersection. On the north side, it is felt there was less of a benefit. Therefore, those properties within a 1 /4 mile radius of the Intersection will be assessed at Level B. He added that only those properties zoned multiple family, commercial, light Industrial, and planned development will be assessed. The assessment guidelines proposed are that properties be assessed on an area basis; that Level A be assessed twice as much as Level B; and that commercial, light Industrial, and planned development properties be assessed four times as much as multiple family zoned properties. O(.. EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; JULY 19, 1994 PAGE 5 He explained that MnDOT is Interested in this project because they will be doing some work on T.H. 13. They will possibly be paying for part of this improvement, but it is unsure what that will be. The City Council has decided that the City will pay half of whatever MnDOT doesn't pay, with the remainder being assessed. He reviewed the assessments to properties and the project schedule. Mayor Egan asked why this wasn't planned for 1994. Public Works Director Colbert indicated it Is due to the right-of-way acquisition necessary for this project. Councilmember Masin asked whether the city will lose the MnDOT funds If the city goes ahead with this project. Public Works Director Colbert noted that MnDOT is very Interested in seeing this project go ahead because they recognize that congestion Is a problem in this area. They would like to do some additional improvements in conjunction with the city's project. They would like to do their project this year, but they won't If they can combine it with this one. Counciimember Wachter noted there is only one lane access shown at the Intersection of Silver Bell Road and Beau D Rue Drive. There are currently two. He questioned whether that should be reduced to one. Len Newquist concurred, indicating it may have been an error on the drawing. There will be two lanes. Mayor Egan noted that under Alternate #1, the roadway costs are lower than Alternate #2; however, the easement cost is substantially higher In Alternate #1. He noted that the primary difference between the two alternates Is that Alternate #1 takes the Express Donuts building. Councilmember Hunter noted that Alternate #2 does not Include easement access across the property south of Express Donuts or the possible cost of business loss. He asked why these costs weren't Included. Len Newqulst noted these are Intangible costs. Councilmember Hunter asked about the access to Express Donuts under Alternate #2. Len Newquist noted that because of the increased traffic in the area, they would like to move the access further away from the intersection. They would like to work out a common driveway with the neighboring business. Councilmember Awada referred to the letter from the attorney for Express Donuts, noting that even under Alternate #2, they would lose 40% of their parking lot. Public Works Director Colbert emphasized that it is 40% of the parking lot, not of the parcel. Discussion followed concerning the impact of this project on Express Donuts under each of these alternates. Public Works Director Colbert stated that if Alternate #2 Is approved, they will do a field survey to determine the maximum parking stalls that could be accomplished, compare it with what they have now, and use that to determine acquisition costs. Mayor Egan also referred to the letter from the attorney representing the owners of Express Donuts, noting that Mr. Heikkila requested that the letter be read Into the record. Mayor Egan noted that all of the Council members received a copy and it Is part of the record. He stated that before the city undertakes a project which could potentially displace an existing business, the city needs to have some documented and definable studies to determine what the direct or Indirect benefit will be to the Cedarvale area. This project was requested to help to induce greater commercial vitality into the area. He reviewed the things the city has already done to help revitalize this area, including creating a special service district, a special lighting plan, and relaxed billboard standards. He noted that Express Donuts has been operating at this location since 1972 and he would like to see a more feasible resolution rather than taking a business. He feels the city needs something to quantify the benefit to the Cedarvale area. Wachter concurred. Hunter also concurred, stating he agrees with many of the points made In the letter from the Mr. Heikkila. He is concerned about the whole Issue of area wide assessments. Mayor Egan then opened the hearing to public comment. Hussein Ansarl, owner of a restaurant and Texaco Station In the Cedarvale area, stated he feels this project will kill the area more than it will help. This plan will divert traffic out of the area. He suggested dosing Beau D Rue Drive to bring traffic through the area. dowry: EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; JULY 19, 1994 PAGE 6 Gary Morgan, past president of the Chamber of Commerce, indicated he helped organize the Cedarvale Merchants Association to raise the funds to do this study. They looked at access extensively and tried to work out better access for the area. These businesses have been hurt ever since the relocation of Highway 77. This appears to be the best option. If nothing is done now, it will continue to be a looming problem due to traffic buildup. He isn't happy about taking a business out of the area. He suggested that since the business isn't in the best shape, perhaps the city could help Improve the property rather than monetary compensation. None of the options stand out as being the best option, but feels something needs to be done. He suggested that If there were a way to use the existing signal lights at the Silver Bell Road, a lot of construction costs could be saved. Another concern Is If Express Donuts remains, there should be adequate access so people still want to patronize the business. Some discussion followed concerning bike trails In that area. Mr. Morgan also questioned the assessment area. Karen Walders, of Lang-Nelson Associates Incorporated, who manage and own View Pointe Apartments on Rahn Road, stated she agrees that this will not benefit anyone. She requested that the assessment procedure be reviewed. She feels multiple family residential properties pay a good share of the assessment and will receive no benefit. Roger Ronning, representing Shannon Glen III condominiums, indicated they are opposed to the method of assessment. Don Kirk, 1887 Silver Bell Road, Shannon Glen III condominiums, indicated he is opposed to the assessments. Feels the city should see who Is using this roadway. Hussein Ansari stated he would like to go back to the first plan that was proposed. He feels that was the best plan and it Is what was promised to him before he bought the gas station. The area Is slowly dying. He will pay more assessments and receive no benefit. Tom Butler, of McDonald's, stated he Is ready to go forward with this. He feels a vision is needed for this area. He feels this plan is more beneficial to the residents than the businesses, but he feels it is beneficial to both. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Egan closed the public hearing for public comment. Following discussion, the consensus of the Council was that the project be denied because of the negative Impact to and probable loss of a thriving business, the high cost of the project, and the open question of the appropriateness of area-wide assessments. Councilmember Masin indicated that it seems obvious that there is a traffic problem in this area and needs to be addressed. Councilmember Wachter suggested that the businesses and city need to get together to attract businesses to the area that people need and want. Hunter moved, Wachter seconded a motion to close the public hearing and deny this project. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 WATERVIEW ADDITION TRUNK UTILITY EXTENSIONS Mayor Egan introduced this item as Project 666R, Waterview Addition trunk utility extensions. Administrator Hedges noted that a petition was resubmitted by the developer of Waterview Addition and the City Council authorized a revised feasibility report which would extend trunk utilities to service the proposed development. The report was presented to the Council on June 21, with a public hearing scheduled for this meeting. Public Works Director Colbert Introduced Mark Hanson, of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates. Mr. Hanson presented the feasibility plan, noting its location is between T.H. 3 and Dodd Road, south of Cliff Road, and Includes 20 single family lots. The utilities In that development are proposed to be built privately so the only improvements proposed are sanitary sewer and water. The sanitary sewer provides for extending a 10 inch sanitary sewer pipe on the east side of T.H. 3 to the development. The ofl13 EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; JULY 19, 1994 PAGE 7 water main provides for a short extension of an 8 inch water main in Dodd Road. He explained the lateral and area-wide benefits for sanitary sewer and water main. The total project cost is $225,340, of which $85,990 will come from revenue. He reviewed the project schedule. Mayor Egan then opened the hearing to public comment. Charles Morgan, 4785 Dodd Road, expressed his opposition to the assessments, and presented a petition of adjacent neighbors who are opposed. Doug Johnson, 4775 Dodd Road, had a question relative to wording in the report about water services along Dodd Road. Mark Hanson explained that when the water main gets constructed, it Is not proposed to stub In the existing properties unless there is a strong desire by a property owner to have that done. Mayor Egan raised a question about properties that have lateral availability, but not access to service, and asked whether the city will have a problem establishing benefit. Jim Sheldon, indicated that adding the availability of service is beneficial. They will be have a separate connection charge when they hook Into the system. Scott Johnson, President of Arcon Development, spoke In favor of the project. He feels this is the best design and consistent with the city's engineering and assessment policies. He urged that the project be done In 1994. Scott Shelerud, 4735 Dodd Road, Indicated he is concerned about the traffic flow In the area. He is worried that the addition of cars from this development will drive a need for improvements on that road. Doesn't think he should be assessed for a project that does not benefit him. All he will get is additional traffic. Discussion followed concerning the impact of this development on the road, construction equipment traffic in the area, and the way this area will develop. Public Works Director Colbert suggested he meet with him and he can answer any questions he has relative to this project. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Egan closed the public hearing. Councilmember Awada stated that just Installing water main minimizes the Impact to the residents of Dodd Road which Is also why the sewer will go along T.H. 3. Mayor Egan stated that the city has been very sensitive to the concerns of the people in this area. The sanitary sewer was relocated to the east side of T.H. 3 to minimally adversely affect the residents of Dodd Road. Also, the water main is located outside of the Dodd Road right-of-way to eliminate the reconstruction of the street. He feels this will cut down the traffic In the area. He noted that this development Is consistent with zoning, the Comprehensive Guide Land Use Plan, and the functional classification for Dodd Road. The City Council Is trying to be as sensitive to the neighborhood concerns. After some discussion, Hunter moved, Awada seconded a motion to dose the public hearing and approve the project. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 T.H. 3/SCHOOL ROAD (STREET & UTIUTY IMPROVEMENTS) Mayor Egan Introduced this item as Project 673, T.H. 3/School Road street and utility Improvements. Administrator Hedges noted that ISD 196 requested the City Council to prepare a feasibility report to investigate proposed improvements to proceed with the new elementary school and future development EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; JULY 19, 1994 00 Z:31 PAGE 8 east of T.H. 3 and south of Weston Hills. On June 21, 1994, the City Council received the feasibility report and set a public hearing for tonight. Public Works Director Colbert indicated this Involves not only street and utility improvements, but also improvement of the trunk highway, and a railroad crossing. It is on a very tight time frame to provide service to a new elementary school that is scheduled to open In the Fall of 1995. In addition, If there Is any MnDOT participation, it wouldn't be known until next February whether they will be participating, and the funds wouldn't be available until next July. This project is being proposed in two phases; one to provide service to the elementary school; and one to provide the second major access and utilities east of Highway 3 and south of Cliff Road. This project is the cornerstone of Improvements for the development of the southeast comer of Eagan. He noted there have been several informational meetings, both with individuals and neighborhoods. Mark Hanson, of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, explained the location of this project. He noted that School Road does not currently exist, and right-of-way will have to be acquired. The reason T.H. 3 Is proposed to be upgraded with this project is because of the elevation conflict between the existing railroad tracks and the existing centerline. This will involve MnDOT, and several meetings have been held with them. MnDOT has expressed concerns relative to accesses to T.H. 3, and it is believed that MnDOT will approve this connection, provided Gun Club Road and Farm Road are closed. The businesses with accesses from these roads will continue to use their driveway accesses. Carol Street, which is platted but does not currently exist, will likely be vacated. The driveway access to Mr. Fitz's property will be forfeited with the Waterview Addition plat and its access to Dodd Road. Farm Road at its east location will have to be removed to allow access to School Road. These are all access points that are of concern to MnDOT. One of the concerns expressed at the neighborhood meeting was why existing right-of-way Isn't being used. He noted that If existing right-of-way is used, extensive reconstruction of those right-of-way areas would be necessary due to the elevation conflicts and condition of the roadways. There would also be wetlands that would have to be dealt with. Because of these reasons, it was felt that the connection at School Road would be a better location. He explained the design of the roadways involved in this project and noted that the city will have to acquire an easement in order to accomplish School Road. Another Issue at the neighborhood meeting was the traffic signal proposed. He noted that MnDOT Is concerned about this because signals aren't approved based on projected warrants, and in order to satisfy the warrants for this intersection, the area would have to be fully developed. The railroad crossing will include a rubberized pad with signals. MnDOT has indicated that they will recommend that federal funds be used, which could be up to 80% funded. The construction would be done by CP Rail, and would be reimbursed by the city. A concrete sidewalk is proposed on the south side of School Road to T.H. 3. There were some Issues raised as to how far the sidewalk should be constructed. He explained the locations of the sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer. He noted that the school Is providing two ponding areas that will ultimately drain Into LP 27. If there is a problem with acquiring the pond, an alternate would be to build it in School Road and discharge it into the existing right-of-way between the tracks and roadway, and ultimately drain into Fitz Lake. Some discussion followed concerning the proposed storm drain and the quality of LP 27. He stated that permanent easements are needed for School Road, as well as temporary slope easements and drainage and utility easements. Other easements may be needed for private access, and in the event the plat doesn't move concurrently with the project as proposed. .J' n4f tEAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; JULY 19, 1994 PAGE 9 He explained the area assessment locations and costs for the various Improvements. He noted he submitted a revised assessment roll, with a total of $1,659,070. Councilmember Hunter asked what the rationale is for installing the sidewalk to Highway 3. Mark Hanson stated there Is a benefit to having It in front of the school and up to Biscayne Avenue. The Park & Recreation Department will have to assess the benefit of having it from Biscayne Avenue to T.H. 3. Mayor Egan asked who pays for the sidewalks and Colbert responded that sidewalks are city financed. Councilmember Masin stated that since it is in front of the school, it seems like it would be an Important safety factor. Mayor Egan then opened the public hearing for public testimony. Arthur Mulvihill asked why Gun Club Road can't be used. Mark Hanson explained that Gun Club Road abuts a wetland, as does Farm Road. T.H. 3 and Gun Club Road would need to be raised considerably, so It is a less desirable location. Also, Gun Club Road and Farm Road don't align, so they would need to be reconstructed. Mr. Mulvihill asked about his assessment and wondered why his is so much higher. Public Works Director Colbert stated the amount is based on the amount of land and the zoning. The reason his assessment Is so high Is because he is receiving all of the services. Other lots will just have the area-wide assessment. Mayor Egan suggested he could appeal his assessment at the assessment hearing. Mr. Mulvihill stated he feels the acquisition of his property for right-of-way will devalue his property. John Bannigan, of Bannigan & Kelly, noted he Is representing Gene Finch. He noted that if this project Is ordered in, it Mr. Finch is forced to sell his property, he would have to escrow $255,000. He would like to be allowed some time to deal with some of the less apparent problems with this assessment proposal. He is asking the Council for a couple of weeks to meet with staff to reduce the street and lateral costs a little further so the property could be marketable. He feels the elevation of the trunk highway Is driven exclusively by the school and should be paid for by the taxpayers who support the school, not the property owners near the school. The same thing applies to the oversizing of School Road. That will not reflect In Increased market value of the property. He thinks they can reduce their assessments further and would like a delay on contract 2. Mayor Egan suggested the Council can approve this and staff can deal with the details on the assessments. Mr. Bannigan Indicated that the pending assessments will be on record and any prospective buyer or financial Institution will require an escrow o f 1 1 /2 times that. Discussion followed concerning how this situation could be handled without recording the assessments for this parcel and still Include them in the project, with several suggestions being made. Mayor Egan stated he is not willing to jeopardize the viability of the project. Mr. Bannigan stated he feels he will lose their negotiating position with staff if this is approved. He would like the Council to direct staff to negotiate In good faith and in a timely manner. Hunter pointed out that following negotiation, If the proposed assessment Is less than proposed now, the county would be Informed and the pending assessment revised. John Young indicated he Is being assessed as Industrial property, but has heard his property may be rezoned to residential. Mayor Egan noted he would have to change the use of the building to get a single family assessment classification. Mr. Young stated he feels this will eventually be residential property, yet Is being assessed as industrial. Councilmember Awada opined that If that were to happen, It would be many years Into the future. The City won't encourage any more Industrial development in the area. Community Development Director Reichert noted that the city's long range plan was that this area would be single family. There is a small pocket of Industrial zoned land. The question for the Council is whether the Industrial property should continue to be Industrial or whether it should be rezoned to residential. If the area Is rezoned to residential, the Industrial uses will continue to exist as nonconforming uses. Mr. Young noted that as a nonconforming use, if the building burned down, he would not be able to rebuild ft. After some discussion relative to nonconforming uses, Councilmember Hunter reminded the Council and audience that that would only happen if the property is rezoned to R-1, which Is hypothetical. EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; JULY 19, 1994 PAGE 10 Dewayne Mullin, of Inver Grove Heights, wanted to know what is proposed for the Farm Road area. Mark Hanson, explained that the properties that take access to Farm Road beyond Mr. Finch's property will have access to School Road, along with the parcels in Inver Grove Heights, which will have access to Weston Hills Drive. Mr. Mullen expressed concerns about access to his property. He feels access to Highway 3 should have been where the current easements are. Councilmember Wachter explained that the current easements weren't used because of the elevation, and assured him he will have adequate access. Mark Hanson stated that is one of the access issues they will be addressing with MnDOT. Mayor Egan reiterated that the city has the legal obligation to maintain that access. Don Marotzke asked why the residents of Weston Hills won't be assessed for this. He feels they will benefit from this. Mayor Egan stated that Pinewood School was designed for 700 students, and now has over 1,200 students. It is not just Weston Hills that will benefit. City Attorney Sheldon Indicated that the Weston Hills development paid its assessments when they developed, just as other developments have. Jim Oberg indicated he owns a piece of property in this area that Is currently zoned industrial. He understands this is proposed to be rezoned to residential. Community Development Director Reichert noted it Is guided residential, but zoned Industrial. Mayor Egan explained that it will remain industrial unless someone proposes it to be rezoned to residential. Oberg expressed a concern over paying assessments for Industrial property, but having his property downzoned to residential. It will be a loss of value for him. Councilmember Awada noted that just having the utilities and roadways Installed will greatly enhance the value of the property. Community Development Director Reichert noted that there is a request before the Council to initiate a study to determine whether this area should develop as industrial or residential. Mayor Egan asked whether any part of his assessment could be rebated if it is rezoned to residential. City Attorney Sheldon stated that generally, assessments are based on what the property is zoned at the time of the Improvement. Mike Frattalone, 4784 South Robert Trail, stated he opposes the assessments to his property, and specifically raising the level of T.H. 3, and the oversizing of School Road. He Is also concerned about the water quality of the holding pond LP 27. Mayor Egan asked whether the Public Works Director feels the water quality might deteriorate. Public Works Director Colbert responded that before any water Is discharged Into this pond, it will be treated with on-site sedimentation. He indicated that the pond could be bypassed entirely, but he has a concern that it may dry up. He noted that the bypass would cost less, but he Is concerned about the long term hydrological effects of doing that. Bill Loomis, 4782 South Robert Trail, stated he Is opposed to the assessments. He thinks they paid a sanitary sewer assessment in 1989. He feels they are being charged twice. He asked whether the gun club is being assessed. Public Works Director Colbert Indicated their assessment Is $44,000. Mr. Loomis asked what the city's contribution will be to this project. Public Works Director Colbert responded the city's contribution is $2,150. Mr. Loomis stated he feels this project will help Weston Hills and the people attending the school. He feels they should be paying for this also. Mayor Egan noted that this assessment roll is preliminary. Councilmember Hunter stated he feels the city should be contributing more because there appears to be more city-wide benefit than the $2,150 Indicates. Mr. Loomis asked whether the railroad is contributing. Public Works Colbert indicated they are not. The railroad functions adequately with or without the crossing. They actually consider the crossing more of a hazard than a benefit. Mr. Loomis stated it Is really the school that needs the crossing. Rick Packer, of Shamrock Development, indicated they don't have a problem with the school being located In this area, or with the Improvements. They do have some serious reservations about the amount of the area assessments for the T.H. 3 Improvements and the widening of School Road. They will not proceed with their preliminary plat at this time because if they do that, they will have to waive their right to argue these assessments at a future date. He feels it would be difficult to prove they benefit to the amount of their assessment, and also feels it could be proven that the stubbed street and utilities will benefit the 0(1121,34" EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; JULY 19, 1994 PAGE 11 surrounding area and they should be paying for some of that. Mayor Egan encouraged them to go forward and try to negotiate these issues. Mr. Packer indicated they have been told by staff that the only place they can negotiate the assessments and the manner In which they are applied is with the City Council. Community Director Reichert indicated they have asked Shamrock Development to suggest an amount that they would be willing to put a cap on for some kind of waiver, and then proceed with the plat subject to that amount. They haven't done that. If they would like to propose something, she will look at it. Mayor Egan then closed the public hearing to public comment. He noted that the school district needs to move forward. He realizes there are a tremendous amount of assessments, but they can be addressed at the assessment hearing. Councilmember Awada stated she feels the necessity of the road Is well spoken for, and is ready to move forward with the project. Councilmember Wachter concurred, Indicating there are a lot of unanswered questions at this point, but will be answered at the assessment hearing. The school is badly needed and the project needs to move forward. Counciimember Hunter noted there will be two special workshops to review the proposed city-wide benefit, and to reconcile the zoning and Comprehensive Guide Plan differences In the area. Wachter moved, Awada seconded a motion to approve Project 673 improvements, and authorized preparation of detailed plans, specifications, property acquisition and appraisals. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 (The Council took a break at this time.) 11tE i JBUSINESS COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT, I.S.D. #196 - ELEMENTARY SCHOOL #18 Mayor Egan Introduced this item as a Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment for I.S.D. #196, Elementary School #18, changing the land use from D-I Single Family Residential, to PF, Public Facility, Quasi-Public, for 13.97 acres; a rezoning of 13.09 acres of A Agricultural and .88 acres of I-1 Limited Industrial to P Public Facilities; and a preliminary plat, consisting of 13.97 acres for one lot and two Outlots located In the North Half of the Southeast Quarter of Section 36. Administrator Hedges stated that the Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 29 to consider this proposal. The Planning Commission is recommending approval of the Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment and rezoning, subject to a number of conditions. The Planning Commission also recommended that a study be initiated to consider the rezoning of the I-1 district within the area. Community Development Director Reichert explained the location and surrounding areas. It is felt it would be to everyone's benefit if the neighboring plat and the school go forward simultaneously because there are a lot of coordinated efforts necessary to make this work. She noted that the school Is also requesting that the Council grant the footing and foundation permits so they can begin development. She noted that the main concern raised at the Planning Commission meeting dealt with the Impacts of the roads and utilities on the area. Another concern was the future of the Industrial area. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this, subject to the conditions set forth In their minutes, and also recommended that the Council direct a study to be initiated to evaluate the land use plan for this area as to whether it should remain Industrial or be changed to residential. Eric Linner, of Wold Architects, explained the plans for the school and access to the property. He Indicated they have met several times with Shamrock Development, and he feels they can work out their concerns. He noted they have started the process to acquire the parcel that will be known as the city park if Shamrock Development doesn't go forward with their plat. Councilmember Awada suggested that the street have the same name as the school. AI Z '15Z EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; JULY 19, 1994 PAGE 12 Rick Packer, of Shamrock Development, concurred that they can work out their concerns with the school; however, he still has an Issue with the assessments, and in order to develop their plat, they will be required to waive their right to contest the assessments. If the city will remove that requirement, they will move forward. He noted that If they are unable to come to an agreement with the school district or city staff in a timely manner, and the school district has to acquire some of their property, their preliminary plat will need to be redone because they will need to dedicate additional property for the park. They would be willing to make a cash contribution rather than land. Courtmember Hunter stated he feels It is reasonable to place a contingency on the plat that If their park dedication is condemned, they would take cash Instead. Community Director Reichert noted that the Council authorized her to negotiate with them and she will continue to do that.

The agreement did not Include the west side of the property. The agreement needs to be amended to Include the west and south sides. The driveway is gravel, and he recommends that if it becomes part of a permanent driveway access to the house, it should be bituminous surface. He has worked with the builder and owner, and reached an agreement wherein the property owner will contribute $500 to the city to help finance the bituminous surfacing of this driveway If the city provides a cross easement over that area. They have also agreed to reimburse the city for all attorney's fees associated with amending the current agreement.

A bankruptcy and numerous verbal agreements are involved and Ms. Kulas would like the city to help her out on this. Wachter and Egan stated they don't know what the city can do for her. Awada stated she feels people need to take responsibility for their problems and stop looking to government to solve their problems. Discussion followed concerning potential liability if the city gets involved in this. Public Works Director Colbert stated he received a request from the developer of the Mann Movie Theater indicating they have excess material on the site and would like to go beyond the limits. of the plat and move the material to fill some low areas on the site. They would like to move It tomorrow and it needs Council approval. He feels this is a reasonable request; however, he would like to place a condition on the approval that they install a proper driveway apron for the access road for the neighboring ten story building. This was required of them before, but was ignored. Counciimember Hunter stated he concurs with the condition; however, the city should be prepared to do a cease and desist order if they ignore it again. Wachter and Awada concurred. Public Works Director Colbert noted that on Wilderness Run Curve, there is a large tree located three inches from the curb that has been hit by a snowplow several times. The curbing needs to be removed, and if the tree is to be removed, it should be done with the removal of this curbing because it needs to be ground out. It is located on public right-of-way, but the property owner strongly objects to the removal of this tree. The contractor needs to know very quickly whether this tree should be removed. Wachter stated he would like to save the tree, but feels it Is hazardous at that location. The city could be held liable if someone hits it. Egan concurred. The consensus was to remove the tree.
