nalia Ordinance by the City. The Eighth Circuit remanded the case to the District

vague. Mr. Smith outlined several alternate courses of action including the
following:

nitions within the guidelines set by the Circuit Court.

the motion, that the Eagan City Council authorize the Eagan City Attorney's office
to proceed to study and prepare a draft or drafts of a proposed amendment to the
Eagan Drug Paraphernalia Ordinance No. 71, to provide an ordinance that will not
only comply with the guidelines of the Eighth Circuit decision, but also to
fulfill the objectives of the City Council's concern about the location of drug
paraphernalia shops in the City; further, to seek assistance and advice from
other communities that have an interest in the issue, and also to investigate
substitute ordinances to control the sale of drug paraphernalia in the City.

COACHMAN LAND COMPANY SECOND ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Mayor next entertained the application of Rosewood Corporation for
preliminary plat approval of Coachman Land Company Second Addition. Mr. Howard
Rekstad, Ted Yoch, and Phil Carlson appeared on behalf of the applicants. Mr.
Rekstad introduced the application and indicated there were four main issues:
continuation of Four Oaks Road, location of previous commitment for the park area,
basic variances for quad houses, and cul-de-sac issues. He stated that the neigh-
borhood residents in Timberline generally are not in favor of the extension of
Four Oaks Road easterly and that Univac is not ready to determine its layout
for future construction. In addition, he reviewed the City park dedication to
date and Mr. Carlson of Howard Dalgren and Associates reviewed the history of the
plat with the earlier alternatives including the loop street and cul-de-sacs.
He also presented an alternate without cul-de-sacs which Rosewood Corporation
opposes. He stated that about two units will be moved but that there would be
an increase from 19 to 20 fourplex units with a total of 80 single family
residential units.
The variances were discussed with two variances requested including 20-foot
setbacks rather than 30-foot setbacks between buildings. He stated, however,
that the 40-foot setback for Four Oaks Road could be maintained but it would be
desirable to have the buildings at varying angles. Mr. and Mrs. Winkel appeared
on behalf of the Timberline Association and stated that they favored the original
plan with cul-de-sacs. Mrs. Winkel stated the Association members have not seen
the alternate prepared by Rosewood for this meeting. Councilmembers then reviewed
a proposed plan prepared by the Public Works Director which eliminated the variances,
reduced the units to 18 quadraminiums, eliminated the cul-de-sacs and would pro-
vide for a tennis court north of the looped street. It was noted, according to
Dale Runkle's report, that the maximum number of units is 86.8 dwelling units.
There was a discussion concerning what the maximum number of units meant under
the ordinance.
Councilmembers Egan and Wachter favored further study using the rough staff
proposal. Mr. Egan stated that Rosewood has not presented an alternate plan as
earlier proposed by Councilmembers and there was considerable discussion con-
cerning negotiation for the park land. There was further discussion concerning
the appraisal on the 6.5 acre parcel and the industrial revenue bonds on the
Coachman Apartment complex that were issued by the City. Mayor Blomquist indi-
cated that it was a difficult piece of property to develop and that the zoning
existed many years ago. It was further noted that there had been a great deal
of opposition from neighboring residents concerning the Coachman Oaks Apart-
ment complex and further that no more than 10% was proposed to be dedicated under
April 1, 1980

C
the plans of Rosewood Corporation. There were suggested alternates, particularly
as to the tennis court location and considerable discussion concerning the 1-1/2
acre park dedication.
Smith moved, Egan seconded the motion to approve the alternate plan pro-
posed by Rosewood Corporation in concept, to approve the variances as required
under the proposal, further, to provide for a continuance easterly of Four Oaks
Road and a satisfactory settlement of the 1.5 acre park land to the City Council's
satisfaction noting there was no specific number of units provided in the approval,
all subject to the conditions approved by the Planning Commission listed
below:
1. A homeowner's association shall be established and the bylaws of
the homeowner's association shall be submitted and reviewed by City staff prior
to final plat approval.

of the. preschool children and other children.

after the foundations of the building have been constructed.
6. That the park land, which Rosewood Corporation has sold or dedicated
to the City, be included in the preliminary plat of Coachman Land Company First
Addition.
7. A revised grading and drainage plan must be submitted and approved by
the City staff prior to final plat application which should provide for maximum

name policy, prior to final plat application.
9. Sufficient right-of-way shall be dedicated to provide for an 80-foot
right-of-way along Four Oaks Road and Coachman Road.
All members voted in favor. Mr. Smith indicated that a satisfactory determina-
tion as to 1.5 acres would mean dedication to the City according to terms agreed
upon by the City Council, noting the ordinance does not provide for exactly 10%
park land dedication. All members voted in favor.

Commission concerning the Bicentennial Fifth Addition preliminary plat appli-
cation submitted by Federal Land Company. The APC recommended approval subject
to certain conditions. Martin Colon appeared and described the project and
stated that he opposed a sidewalk on the east side of Federal Street because of
the residential housing on the west side where children would more likely use
the sidewalk. One area resident recommended the sidewalk on the west side.
Councilmembers expressed differing views. Mr. Colon later did not strongly
object to the sidewalk on the east side if deemed necessary and stated that
Federal Land Company would accept the assessments for the installation. Wachter

sisting of 27.3 acres of quadraminiums with 172 units converted from single

pond had not been determined; Outlot B would include R-2 use and Outlot C would
remain R-2 use. There was discussion concerning the 500 foot cul-de-sac noting
that terrain considerations would not permit the cul-de-sac to go westerly as the
street extension. The other street to the south going westerly would be a through
street. Wachter moved and Parranto seconded the motion to approve the preliminary
plat as revised including the 10-foot variance and setback requirements for those
lots specifically approved by the Building Inspector and/or City Engineer according
