U.S. HOMES CORPORATION LEXINGTON ADDITION
The Council next considered the application of U.S. Homes Corporation
Orrin Thompson Homes to rezone from R-4 to R-3 approximately 59 acres and
preliminary plat approval of Lexington Addition consisting of 82 acres on the
east side of Lexington Avenue. Mr. Orrin Thompson, Chuck Winden, Bob Carlson
and attorney Robert Hoffman were present for the applicant. The Planning
Commission held its public hearing on April 28, 1981 and recommended approval
subject to certain conditions. On May 19, 1981 the City Council considered
the application and requested additional information covering seven specific
areas as outlined by the City Administrator. Meetings have been held with the
staff and a revised preliminary plat was discussed by Chuck Winden. The number
of driveways on Duckwood Drive was reduced from 11 to five and the length of
the private drives has been changed with loops at the ends of private drives.
There were concerns about fire and emergency access and each of the seven
previous concerns of the Council was discussed in detail by Councilmembers.
Two play areas are designated within the development.
Councilmember Smith was concerned about the attempts to cut costs with
long term implications to the City. It was noted that a 50-foot wheel base on
a truck could be used to enter the development according to Mr. Winden. There
were strong concerns, however, about fire trucks being able to back out of the
condominium area private streets. Councilmember Parranto suggested revising
the plan for the through drives. Councilmember Egan stated that a number of
the access points have been cut down from 11 to five but the plan now provides
for a fork in each of the access streets which may create a greater access
problem. There may also be confusion as to street addresses for emergency
vehicles. There was also concern about need for more than one access to the
multiple buildings to the south and Mr. Winden stated an additional access
could be installed from the public street. Parranto suggested looping the
private streets at the ends of the three quad depth streets and Mr. Thompson
agreed with that suggestion. Councilmember Smith suggested that several
drawings be prepared with loops, additional driveways, etc., and also the
possibility of additional public streets. Smith moved, Wachter seconded the
5
Council Minutes
June 2, 1981
motion to continue consideration of the application until additional studies
are made and comments are made as to the Council's concerns at the last two
meetings. In addition, Councilmember Smith suggested the R-4 plan be elimi-
nated because this is not concept approval stage. Mayor Blomquist stated that
private streets should be excluded in determining density calculations for new
developments. The density appeared to be 5.3 acres in the R-3 area without
public streets and up to 5.9 units per acre without private streets included
according to Mr. Runkle. All voted in favor of the motion.
CINNAMON RIDGE ADDITION REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Council then considered the application of Zachman Homes, Inc. for
rezoning from R-2 and R-4 to Planned Development and for preliminary plat
approval of Cinnamon Ridge Addition consisting of approximately 72 acres. The
Planning Commission has considered the application at its February and March
meetings and May 26 meeting. The APC at the May 26, 1981 meeting recommended
the Council approve the applications subject to certain conditions. A large
number of neighboring owners were present. Mr. Hedges introduced the applica-
tion and Steve Ryan was present for the applicant. He reviewed the changes
since the first presentation and stated that meetings had been held with
MN/DOT, the Dakota County Highway Department, and City staff and stated that
there appeared to be no negative impact on the Cliff Road traffic from the
development. Access connection from Burnsville did not appear to be possible
because of recent action by the Burnsville City Council; the commercial land
use at the southeast corner has been eliminated, all single family lots now
are at least 7,500 square feet per lot, and he further stated the two park
locations could be dedicated to the City for park purposes if the Council
desires that this be done. He reviewed the setback along the Burnsville
border, including the single family lots, and the phasing of the roads was
also discussed. The intention is to increase the density from the west and
the north to the south and east as the movement is away from the R-1 uses.
Tree preservation is a concern and all trees will be preserved except some of
them where the pond will be developed at the northeast corner. Phase I is
intended to begin in the fall of 1981 with Phase II late in 1982. The central
park will include 2.5 acres and the northwest corner park will contain 5.5
acres with most of the dry pond covering the entire open space. There is no
recommendation from the Park Committee whether to grant park credit at the
present time.
Richard Decker from River Hills 9th Addition read a statement objecting
to the proposal and stated and reviewed concerns of residents of River Hills
9th Addition. They included access, stating that Slater Road would be the
major access but would not be developed until Phases IV and V are installed,
traffic volumes claiming that the reduction in the traffic volume from earlier
reports needs explaining, the Metcalf Drive connection noting that Mr. Colbert
recommends that it may be changed in the future with the possibility of
Cinnamon Ridge residents requesting two-way in the future. He stated further
that there appeared to be inadequate ponding and the need for detailed plans
before approval should be given, that there was concern about adequate sani-
tary sewage service in the low area at the northwest corner requiring addi-
tional study. He also recommended installation of Slater Road extension
earlier than Phases IV and V. Mr. Rosene stated the pond is adequate with

the additional ponding required to handle the River Hills 9th Addition run-
off. Some fill will be required for the units in the northwest corner but
there are no detailed grading plans at the present time. It was further noted
that the City of Burnsville has indicated that there is inadequate capacity in
their sanitary sewer system to accomodate the northwest corner of the parcel.
Mr. Colbert explained the peak hour traffic estimates and the reasons for the
changes in the figures. Richard Victor, a resident, raised questions about
whether the pond may have permanent water storage and recommended a 20-foot
connection with the permanent assurance that the street will remain one-way.
Tom Kennedy recommended that the scheme for the higher density be planned at
the present time so that Slater Road can be installed in the early phases.
Councilmember Smith stated that not all details are presented at the
preliminary plat stage and also noted the existing zoning which could increase
the densities substantially by the proposal. The Mayor presented additional
density information submitted by Dale Runkle indicating a low of 600 units and
a high of 856 units potentially. The proposal is for 600 units with seven
acres of streets and eight acres of open space. Mr. Egan asked if the devel-
oper would commit itself to the development of Slater Road during the develop-
ment of Phases I through III and Mr. Ryan stated that the developer is not
ready because of the uncertainty of development. Mr. Ryan then agreed with
the construction of Slater Road and that the developer and owner will assume
the assessments during Phase III construction for Slater Road. Councilmember
Smith suggested that the only reason for reducing the width of Metcalf Drive
would be to save some trees although residents were concerned about safety.
The River Hills 9th residents requested southbound one-way traffic only on
Metcalf with 20-foot right-of-way. The hearing continued until 10:25 p.m.
Smith moved to approve the preliminary plat of Phase I conditioned upon
the following:
1. That Slater Road be constructed and commitment by the developer to
pay for it no later than the final plat approval of the Phase III.
2. That a final decision be made as to the sanitary sewage issue, the
width of Metcalf Drive, whether credit be given for park and open space and
the ponding be finally determined to the City's satisfaction.
3. That a 75-foot half right-of-way be provided for Cliff Road.
4. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be
approved by City staff prior to any construction on the proposed site.
5. Detailed landscape plan shall be approved by the City staff, and an
adequate bond shall be provided and not released until one year after the
landscaping has been completed.
6. No variances shall be granted for setbacks on the single family,
duplex or cluster home development unless they are related to topographic
conditions; further, that cluster homes shall be subject to R-1 requirements.

7. The overall planned development now consists of approximately 600
dwelling units. The developer shall submit an environmental assessment work-
sheet and have all the approvals necessary prior to the construction of any
dwelling.
8. The Planned Development Agreement shall be prepared and approved by
the City of Eagan prior to approval of the first plat of the first phase.
9. The plat shall be subject to Dakota County Plat Commission's and
Minnesota Department of Transportation's review and comment, because the site
abuts County and State rights-of-way.
10. The developer shall provide garages for all of the single family
cluster units. The developer shall also meet the specifications of the City
Engineering for the private drives for the cluster units.
11. The planned development should be for a maximum of six years and the
underlying zoning shall be removed and have an agricultural category.
12. All applicable ordinances shall be complied with regarding parking,
lot coverage, etc.
13. That a 28-foot road for Metcalf connection be constructed as a part
of Phase III.
14. That the City pursue possible sharing of signalization cost by
developer and temporary financing by the developer.
15. The proposed onsite drainage and ponding area must be enlarged to
incorporate a minimum of 9.0 acre feet storage capacity.
16. An 8-foot trailway shall be constructed at the developer's expense
along the south line adjacent to Cliff Road.
Councilmember Smith stated there have been no one-way streets between
developments within the City and it appeared that access for emergency
purposes is critical between the developments. Parranto seconded the motion.
Those in favor were Wachter, Parranto and Smith. Those against were Egan and
Blomquist.
Smith then moved to approve the application for the planned development
subject to meeting the conditions mentioned above for the final plat for Phase
I and approval of the final plat for Phase I within one year from the date of
the Council approval; further, in the event that the final plat for the first
phase is not approved within one year that the Planned Development would then
lapse. Parranto seconded the motion and those in favor were Parranto, Smith,
Wachter and Egan. Against was Blomquist. D 81-33

CHES MAR EAST 1ST ADDITION WAIVER OF PLAT WANE BLILIE
The application of Wayne Blilie for waiver of plat to relocate the center
lot line between Lots 19 and 20, Block 2, Ches Mar East 1st Addition was next
discussed by the Council. Mr. Blilie was present and there were no objec-
tions. The APC recommended approval subject to conditions. Wachter moved,
Parranto seconded the motion to approve the application subject to the follow-
ing conditions:
1. The City will retain all existing drainage and utility easements as
required.
2. All other applicable City ordinances shall be complied with.
All voted yes. R 81-36
RICHARD STQ& CEDARVALE THEATER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
The application of Richard E. Stuke for a conditional use permit for
indoor recreational center and conditional use permit for on-sale 3.2 beer and
wine license was next brought before the Council. Mr. Stuke was present and
explained his proposal to divide the Cedarvale Theater into three parts to
provide for indoor recreation center, sale of recreational and pool equipment
and for warehousing his equipment. The City Attorney's office had submitted a
letter indicating that because minors would be present in the establishment
rthat 3.2 beer and wine would not appear to be appropriate for that location
both under state law and under City ordinances. There was discussion about a
confined area for the sale of 3.2 beer and wine. Mr. Stuke stated that he
would agree to eliminate the request for the beer and wine. He further stated
that 24 additional parking spaces could be leased on a cross easement basis
from the Cedarvale Shopping Center owners. It was noted that lack of food
service tables not comply with the wine license ordinance and that it may be
undesirable to be serving beer and wine in an area where teenagers are
attracted.
Parranto moved, Egan seconded the motion to approve the application for
conditional use permit for the recreational pool room center subject to the
following:
1. A detailed site plan shall be submitted and approved by the City as
to the square footage for each of the uses the recreational center, the
sales area for the pool tables and the warehouse facility.
2. A detailed site plan shall be submitted providing for at least 46
parking spaces for the building. If the 46 parking spaces cannot be provided
on this particular lot, a cross easement shall be obtained and aprpoved by the
City to allow this parking.

tions. Wachter moved, Egan seconded the motion, all voted in favor, to approve

favor.
WINKER/JACKSON ADDITION REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT
The application of Richard Winkler to rezone from Agricultural to Planned
Development consisting of 91 acres and preliminary plat approval of Winkler/
Jackson Addition was next reviewed by the City Council. The Planning
Commission had considered the application on April 28 and on May 26 reviewed
the application in detail and recommended denial of the applications. Mr.
Mike Gair, planner, appeared and reviewed in detail the proposal together with
revisions from the original plan.
A large number of neighboring property owners were present. There was
discussion concerning topography and it was noted that the Residential
Multiple at the northwest corner on Cliff Road was provided on the
Comprehensive Plan but the developer requests Neighborhood Business in that
location. There was review of the park land proposal to be dedicated both by
the developer and MN/DOT as well as the R-1 adjoining Slater's Acres to
consist of six units. Mr. Gair stated the Neighborhood Business area to the
north of the 7.7 acres is isolated by steep slopes and trees on the south.
The 44.7 acre parcel of R-3 would consist of 5.3 units per acre net density
with a 100-foot buffer on the west, heavily wooded. Mr. Gair stated that the
developers would convert Area Six west of Slater's Road to R-4 rather than LB
10

Council Minutes

if requested by the Council. He further stated that 454 to 516 units would be
allowed with 6.8 to 8.4 units per acre and 368 residential units are being
proposed.
James Schmidt of Slater's Acres appeared and reviewed in detail some of
the objections that Slater's Acres owners had including traffic, density,
safety issues, that the commercial does not represent the needs and is not
appropriate for the area. He stated that traffic will build up quickly with
the proposed development and the Cinnamon Ridge development and there are
already safety problems on Cedar and on Cliff Road. Bob Ebely of the River
Woods Homeowners Association appeared and had objections stating that there
are room for changes but welcomed the revisions proposed by the developer. He
stated the density is too high in comparison with other densities in the area,
he had concerns about the type of buffer along the Burnsville border, the
traffic impact, limited access for an indefinite time, emergency access only
on one road, the uncertainty of the type of traffic control at Slater's Road
and Cliff Road, and that there is little chance for a semaphore at Slater's
Road and Cliff in the near future. He further stated that high density
creates additional noise impact and suggested that additional study take
place.
Mr. Gair stated that Phase VI will require slab construction because of
the low elevation of the property. The proposal of the Comprehensive Plan is
for three to six units per acre for the area and the proposal of the developer
is at 5.5 units per acre.
Wachter recommended R-1 use because of the topography, terrain, aesthe-
tics, and to avoid obliterating landscaping. Parranto stated that density
could be set and that no specific zoning could be authorized noting also that
high assessments have been levied against the property for the utilities and
street improvements. Councilmember Smith was concerned about access and the
need to get a determination on access to Burnsville. Larry Johnson of the
River Hills Townhouse Association also was present and objected to the pro-
posal.
After considerable discussion, Parranto moved, Smith seconded the motion,
to approve the application for Planned Development upon the condition that
Area Six consisting of an eight acre parcel be changed from Limited Business
to Residential density with a maximum of 14 units per acre with the R-3 of
approximately 45 acres having a maximum density not to exceed 5.5 units per
acre; further, that the proposal for the single family and park land be
approved and the densities for residential determined exclusive of all public
roads, private streets and park land; further, that the first final plat that
is approved will include dedication of the park land without liens or encum-
brances; further subject to the following.
1. A planned development agreement shall be drafted and executed between
the City of Eagan and the developer prior to the construction of any phase of
the planned development.
2. The planned development shall be subject to Minnesota Department of
Transportation and Dakota County Plan Commission review and comments.
