Administrator Hedges noted that this was approved in the Capital Improvement Plan. There was $125,000 budgeted for the Fire Department for 1994. Fire Chief Nelson explained that the improvements proposed are reroofing; remodeling of the training room, bathrooms and equipment bay; new lockers; a self-contained breathing apparatus room; and exterior brick work for Fire Station #1. He noted they are having problems with a leaky roof, the building has virtually no insulation, and it must be upgraded to meet ADA requirements.

Fire Chief Nelson indicated they have an emergency access road that can be used in case of a fire. They also notified Inver Grove Heights that they may need to assist our department during the construction period. Wachter suggested that since the majority of accidents involve trucks, that Eagan should reduce the speed limit for trucks.

Masin asked for clarification. Public Works Director Colbert noted that this Is to pursue the existing study In greater detail to reduce the impact to Express Donuts and reduce construction costs. Hunter Indicated he Is very concerned about this. He Is not convinced that the benefit to the area will even approach the cost. He suggested that instead of pursuing this, that staff have a meeting with Express Donuts and come up with a concept that they would agree with. He also thinks the Cedarvale Merchants Association should develop a business case showing the benefits of improved access to the area. Awada concurred, noting that some of the merchants expressed during the hearing that these Improvements won't help them. Wachter indicated this was tried at another location and didn't work. He doesn't support pursuing this. Gary Morgan, of Cedarvale Merchants Association, stated he feels these costs could be reduced, and the businesses along Beau D Rue Drive don't favor a cul-de-sac as was suggested by one property owner. Hunter stated he feels the Cedarvale Merchants Association needs to come back with quantifiable results before the Council goes any further. Mayor Egan concurred and noted that the owners of the multiple family housing also objected to the costs. Masin noted that this business Isn't in the best shape, and feels that upgrading is needed in addition to the road design. The consensus of the Council was to reject this. Wachter moved, Masin seconded a motion to deny this project. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 In regard to Item L, Final Plat. Villas of Violet Lane. Wachter noted he received a call from Mrs. Lemieux, who indicated she does not object to having the trunk line on her property as long as it doesn't damage the trees.

City Planner Sturm explained the location and request. The reason for this request is due to the severe slope of the property and to save trees on the property.

He reviewed the history of this property, and noted there was very little discussion by the Planning Commission, and they recommended approval. He added that there will be a right in/right out onto Pilot Knob Road, and the county has indicated they will grant approval of this access if the City approves this.

Aye: 5 Nay: 0 REVIEW MASTER PLAN LAYOUT/SOUTH DODD ROAD/CAROL STREET Mayor Egan Introduced this item as a review of master plan layout for South Dodd Road/Carol Street. Administrator Hedges noted that at the last meeting, a public hearing was held to consider the vacation of Carol Street from Dodd Road to T.H. 3. The City Council denied this vacation, which was a condition of the final plat approval for the Waterview Addition. The Council directed that Carol Street be designed as a signalized 4-way Intersection with T.H. 3, and that a master plan be developed for that area. A neighborhood meeting was held yesterday, and several proposals were presented. Public Works Director Colbert explained the location and history of Waterview Addition and development of the area. A decision needs to be made as to whether Carol Street should be vacated, how the area should develop if the previous master plan is no longer applicable, and what impact it will have on the Waterview Addition development. He reviewed the proposals presented at the neighborhood meeting, as well as two additional alternates that came as a result of that meeting. He noted that Alternates 1, 2, 4 and 5 would require a replat of Waterview Addition. The developer favors Alternate 3, however, it would create double frontage lots. It would be more expensive because 100% of the street construction costs would have to be paid for by someone other than those in the Waterview Addition, because they could not prove benefit to rear lots. There would be no direct connection from Dodd Road to Highway 3 until O( EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; AUGUST 16, 1994 PAGE 7 sometime in the future, depending on how fast the area develops. At the neighborhood meeting, there was a group that favored Alternate 3, and a group that favored Alternate 5, which provided a direct connection from Dodd Road to Highway 3. Alternate 4 could be considered also. If Alternate 3 is adopted, it would allow the Waterview Addition plat to proceed, and utilities could be installed. Under any of the other alternatives, Waterview Addition would have to be repiatted, and the utility contract would have to be rejected and rebid. Councilmember Hunter noted that in the minutes, it was noted that Arcon Development feels they can go ahead with their preliminary plat with minor modifications, and asked what those modifications area. Public Works Director Colbert noted that the plat anticipated the vacation of Carol Street from Dodd Road to T.H. 3. One of the property owners objected to that, wanting to leave the vacation to a later date to maintain maximum flexibility for future development options. The developer said they could move the lot line for one of the lots, so the vacated half right-of-way is not needed, and would create a buildable lot west of Waterview Trail. If the vacation Is done at later date, the half right-of-way could be added to the adjacent lot. The rest of Carol Street from Waterview Trail to the Highway 3 connection could be vacated now. Mayor Egan asked about the justification for a signal at Highway 3, noting that MnDOT seems to have substantially changed their position since the last meeting. Public Works Director Colbert noted that MnDOT has indicated that the technical warrants for signalization on T.H. 3 does not change whether It is a 3-way intersection or a 4-way Intersection. However, they still feel that a 4-way intersection Is easier to justify signalization. They don't normally support signalization of a 3-way Intersection; however, because of the school traffic, and the potential liability, they don't feel comfortable not approving it. They could more strongly support a 4-way intersection. Mayor Egan asked whether approval of Alternative 3 would require a modification of the City's Traffic System Plan. City Planner Sturm noted that the change Isn't major enough to justify an amendment to the traffic plan, but it should be documented why it is being done. Records can be put In the parcel files. Public Works Director Colbert added that since there are only two property owners involved, if they sell this property to a developer, they should make that information available, but if they don't, a public record has been established. Hunter asked whether under Alternative 3, they would want to install the apron on the west side of the School Road intersection at the same time. Public Works Director Colbert noted that with the Improvement of Highway 3, there will be no curbing Improvements, so the intersection would be designed as a 4-way Intersection, with a barricade. The Neisius' may want to relocate their present access at Hall Street to the signalized intersection. Wachter stated he favors a 4-way intersection, but in case there is no connection, he feels there should be a pedestrian crossing button there. Public Works Director Colbert indicated he will request one; although, he doesn't think it will be used much in the Immediate future. Awada concurred that a 4-way Intersection is important. Masin asked whether any of these alternatives creates a larger financial burden to the city than the others. Public Works Director Colbert Indicated that typically local improvements are 100% assessable to the respective development or adjacent property. However, Alternative 3 will not be able to sustain an assessment against the double fronted lots In the Waterview Addition and will have to be assumed by the unplatted property to the south or picked up by the City. Alternative 5 would be 100% assessable. Jerry Meszaros noted he objects to the vacation of Carol Street from Dodd Road to Waterview Trail because he may sell Outlot B and would like his options to remain open. Mayor Egan noted that Mr. Neisius would have to develop any north-south connection to Carol Street further east on his property than what U Z63 EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; AUGUST 16, 1994 PAGE 8 Is shown, and it would be up to him If it Is not on the Meszaros property. Public Works Director Colbert noted that the proposed subdivision of those two lots taking access off of Carol Street would not be in conformance with the master plan that was approved when the preliminary plat for Waterview Addition was approved. A stubbed street was approved, and there is a temporary cul-de-sac being constructed which Is not a standard cul-de-sac. According to Mr. Meszaros' layout, it would use the proposed future half right- of-way, which would preclude the southerly extension of Waterview Trail, and the temporary cul-de-sac would have to become permanent, and it may change some configurations of the master plan that was approved with the preliminary plat. He suggested that the temporary cul-de-sac could be eliminated If Carol Street were built from Dodd Road to Waterview Trail. Meszaros indicated he Is trying to sell it to a family that doesn't plan to develop the property for quite some time. He does not intend to use Carol Street to develop the two lots. He just wants that option kept open. Public Works Director Colbert noted that Mr. Meszaros won't own this property forever. The City Is trying to develop a master plan as to how the area will develop in order to protect all property owners to maximize the use of their land. Wachter noted that Alternative 5 will protect Mr. Meszaros' interest. He feels access is needed to Dodd Road In the near future with the proposed closure of Farm Road. Alternative 5 would not provide that connection until much later. Traffic is going to increase on Dodd Road no matter what. Hunter noted that an Alternative 6 could be developed, which Is basically Alternatives 1 and 2 south of Carol Street, combined with the proposed Waterview Plat as depicted in Alternative 3. Awada noted that would create double frontage lots. Hunter asked whether that scenario would create substandard lots. Public Works Director Colbert noted that If that portion of Carol Street were not vacated, the developer could still make those lots work by shifting lot lines. Hunter noted that this scenario wouldn't rely on the development to the south, it would create a 4-way intersection, and there is a connection to Arcon's Development. The only issue with this scenario is the creation of double fronted lots. Public Works Director Colbert added that the method of financing would also be an issue due to the unassessable double fronted lots. Mayor Egan stated he feels it would impact the integrity of the entire area. He Is also concerned about the financing. Hunter asked why the developer doesn't favor Alternative 5. Scott Johnson, of Arcon Development, stated he doesn't favor a connection to Dodd Road because it invites traffic through the development and devalues the lots. He feels Alternate 3 is the best compromise, because it distributes the traffic and reduces speeds. It also allows the utilities to be installed, and their plat to go forward. Nancy Gustafson, 4822 Dodd Road, indicated she favors Alternative 3, and nearly all of the Dodd Road residents also favor Alternative 3. She is opposed to the Carol Street connection from Highway 3 to Dodd Road. Mike Neisius indicated he hopes the street connection is a long time away. John Remkus, 4880 Dodd Road spoke in favor of Alternate 5. Larry Frank, of Arcon Development, stated he doesn't favor a direct connection between Dodd Road and Highway 3. He suggested not vacating Carol Street, but not building it at this time. Wachter reiterated the necessity for having an access to Highway 3 and the school. Jim Thompson, 4875 Dodd Road, questioned the placement of the utilities and assessments under Alternative 6. Public Works Director Colbert noted that If Alternative 6 is approved, the city would recommend that Carol Street be constructed because he feels it is Important for the property owners to know there Is a street there. He explained the location for placement of utilities under this alternative. Doug Johnson stated he doesn't favor more traffic on Dodd Road. Charlene Neisius indicated she doesn't favor Alternative 6. Hunter proposed Alternative 7, which Is basically Alternative 3, but retaining the right-of-way for Carol Street between Highway 3 and Waterview Trail. That would keep the city's options open to build Carol Street. Mayor Egan asked whether the developer would be able to adjust their lot lines to accommodate 0U2 3 EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES; AUGUST 16, 1994 PAGE 9 that. Scott Johnson Indicated It would just be a minor adjustment. Egan and Awada indicated their support for this alternative. Egan stated he doesn't favor a direct connection between Highway 3 and Dodd Road. He doesn't support Alternative 5. Masan Indicated she supports a combination of Alternatives 1 and 3. After some discussion, Public Works Director Colbert suggested the Council approve the concepts of Alternates 3 and 6, to be later decided depending upon future development. Hunter moved, Awada seconded a motion to approve Alternatives 3 or 6, to be determined at a later date with development. Mayor Egan noted that the street connection to Highway 3 won't be put In until the area develops. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 Egan moved, Masin seconded a motion to eliminate the condition of the Waterview Addition plat that requires the vacation of Carol Street Aye: 5 Nay: 0 RECEIVE BIDS/AWARD CONTRACT; WATERVIEW ADDITION-TRUNK UTILITIES Wachter moved, Awada seconded a motion to receive the bids for Contract 94-11 and award the contract to Brown & Cris in the amount of $192,567.50, and authorize the Mayor and City clerk to execute all related documents. Public Works Director Colbert noted that $25,000 will be funded by the City's Trunk Funds. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 PROJECT 669, AUTHORIZE PREPARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES AND PRELIMINARY DESIGN/LAYOUT Mayor Egan introduced this item as Project 669, authorize preparation of environmental studies and preliminary design/layout for 35E interchanges/overpasses. Public Works Director Colbert noted that if staff is to proceed with working with the developers of the downtown and O'Neil property, they need to proceed with the concept of the ring road proposal, and because it Involves a new interchange with the Duckwood Drive overpass, a new northbound access ramp from Yankee Doodle Road, and another overpass of 35E farther to the north, there are several processes such as transportation plan amendments, environmental studies, analyses, detailed designs, feasibility reports, and financing plans that need to be put together In order to proceed. He reviewed the time table for this project. After some discussion concerning the project path and the various requirements, Awada moved, Hunter seconded a motion to approve the expenditure of funds for a feasibility report to include an environmental inventory, preliminary design/layout, and funding staging plan for the 1-35E interchanges and overpasses for Project #669. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 i DMJNfSThA1 j ti ENDA DAKOTA COUNTY HRA FAMILY HOUSING PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM Administrator Hedges noted that this request came from the Dakota County HRA for the Council to give consideration to four locations for the construction of a 33-unit townhouse development on approximately 5-6 acres of land. They are requesting that the Council indicate whether or not they support each of these four locations. Councilmember Masin noted that the Council earlier gave direction that they felt that certain areas not be considered for this type of development, and three of those locations are listed here. Awada suggested that when this response to them Is formulated, that it be made clear that the Council is not very happy about their course of action. Hunter moved, Wachter seconded a motion that the Council gives no support to locations 1, 2 and 4; and that the Council supports location 6. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 HOLZ FARM Mayor Egan noted that the Council gave their consensus on this item at the special workshop.

He noted that the Advisory Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Committee is interested in having a representative from their commission on this board. Mayor Egan stated he feels a Council member should serve on this task force. He wouldn't be opposed to having a APRNRC member In addition to a Council member. Awada moved, Masin seconded a motion to appoint Councilmember Hunter as a representative to the High School Site Selection Task Force.
