EAGAN, MINNESOTA
MARCH 6, 1980
A special meeting of the Eagan City Council was held on March 6, 1980,
at 7:00 p.m. at Pilot Knob Elementary School. Those present were: Mayor Blomquist,

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN
Members of the City Council and Planning Commission held an informal
hearing to review the Comprehensive Land Use Plan that was drafted during 1979
and is scheduled for a final hearing before it is presented to the Metropolitan
Council for consideration in approximately two months. The Advisory Planning
Commission Vice-Chairman Charles Hall acted as the moderator for the presentation
and citizen input. Approximately sixty people were in attendance to hear the
review and explanation of the Consulting Planner, Mr. John Voss, representing
Urban Planning and Design. Questions raised by the audience consisted of the
following:
1. Why is property located south of the Dayton Hudson parcel between
Lone Oak Road and T.H. 55 illustrated as R-II? The resident was concerned by
noise caused by air traffic and thought the property should be zoned Industrial
or Commercial.
2. Mr. James Horne stated that his property should be considered
for zoning other than residential due to the noise caused by the Police Department
and future public facility on the East side of his property, the I-35E corridor
located to the West of his property, and Pilot Knob Road to the East of his pro-
perty. He also suggested that the City consider purchasing additional land to
the Southwest of the old town hall to be used for park land or a related civc
use. It was stated by Mr. Hall that the area between Pilot Knob Road and I-35E
would be restudied when the I-35E alignment is decided.
3. A number of residents expressed a concern about the location of
Four Oaks Road as proposed through the Univac property which would ultimately
connect Four Oaks Road at its present terminus to Pilot Knob Road.
4. Questions were raised about Multiple Family zoning in the South
Delaware Hills area; however, in reviewing the land use map, it appeared no density
existed higher than an R-II zone classification.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at approxi-
mately 9:00 p.m.
