All voted yes. The next hearing convened by Mayor Blomquist covered Project #136A final assessment hearing for Tomark lst Addition utility improvements. There were no appearances and no objections on behalf of the interested parties. Staff recommended approval. Wachter moved, Egan seconded the motion to close the public hearing, to approve the assessment roll as presented and direct the staff to certify the roll to the County Auditor for collection. All voted in favor. The application of U. S. Homes Corporation for preliminary plat approval of Lexington Place was next presented to the Council. City Administrator Tom Hedges reviewed some of the background indicating that the Advisory Planning Commission had recommended approval, subject to conditions on February 25, 1982. The City Council reviewed the application on March 16 and because of questions raised, continued the application until April 20, 1982. Representa- tives of the applicant present were Attorney Robert Hoffman, Robert Carlson and Surveyor Chuck Winden. Dale Runkle, the City Planning Director reviewed his Memorandum of April 15, 1982 responding to questions presented by the City Council. He noted that one of the important issues dealt with studio units being constructed in other municipalities and one project, the Alderwood project in Woodbury was visited by certain members of the City Council and staff. He reviewed the progress of other projects in Apple Valley and Bloom- ington, the trends in affordable housing and noted that 50 modest cost units, according to the Eagan Comprehensive Guide Plan are projected for Section 14 in the City. He also reviewed the study by the staff regarding the cul de sac at the South end of the project and indicated that the proposal provided for 500 feet of public street cul de sac with an extension of 600 feet of private street. Topography and trees on the west were not conducive for a looped street. There were questions concerning the need for variance for 1,100 feet of cul de sac and Councilman Smith requested the proposal be again reviewed by the staff to eliminate the cul de sac, to study the grades involved and the number of trees to be taken, etc. An overlay showing the south cul de sac area was also presented and it was noted that steep grades would make a looped street impractical. 4 GC 093 Council Minutes April 20, 1982 The City Attorney stated that it was his opinion that the intention of the subdivision ordinance requiring a maximum 500 foot cul de sac residential street for safety, welfare and health purposes of residents on the street, was being violated with the 1,100 foot long cul de sac, whether called public streets or private driveway. Other alternates for the development of that portion of the plat were discussed, including running an extension of the street westerly to connect to the land to the west, to leave the property as an outlot at the present time or acquisition of a right -of -way to the south to Wescott Road. Mayor Blomquist indicated that she visited the Alderwood project in Woodbury and indicated the units were not comparable, being sub- stantially larger at 600 to 620 square feet. She noted they were well designed with exteriors that were maintenance free. She stated that there appeared to be only one comparable so there is no track record in the metro- politan area to her knowledge. She further stated the price per square foot for the smallest unit was $56.00 in the Woodbury project, and that utilities and heat were installed for each unit. There was considerable discussion concerning whether the Council should allow 168 or as now proposed, 114 studio units, with the latter amounting to 17% modest cost units, well beyond the recommended guide line of 50 modest cost units in the entire Section. Mike Wold of St. Francis Woods was present and objected to the proposal stating the concept had not been tested in the Metropolitan area, that the Apple Valley application has not as yet been approved, and that the policy of the City is to spread out modest low cost housing, and recommended an ordinance revision to detail criteria for the construction of such units. Robert Hoffman on behalf of U. S. Homes discussed several issues, including cul de sac, indicating that the removal of the trees and terrain would not warrant a turn around at the South end. However, he stated that the developer will develop the project in that location in any one of three alternates, including cul de sac, road running to the west or looped street. He stated that the project would not be sold as rental and that a provision in the Bylaws against the display of rental signs would be included. He further indicated that several issues discussed by the Council were not issues relevant to the approval of the preliminary plat. He further gave other examples of studio unit projects in the metropolitan area and indicated that the developer would consent to reduction of the studio units, even though it was not a preliminary plat approval issue, and that such reduction would be done by a Development Agreement. He further stated that aluminum siding would be used and that it is maintenance free and fire resistant. He suggested that of the first 2 buildings, that there be a maximum of three studio units per building in the 13 building first phase on the north. After lengthy discus- sion, Smith moved to approve the application with the following conditions: 1. That the construction in the proposed cul de sac south of the looped road be designated an outlot and no specific street plan be provided at the present time. 2. That the first phase of the project include no more than 10% studio units. 6i 00094 Council Minutes April 20, 1982 3. That the first two buildings constructed include no more than 3 studio units per building. 4. That all recommendations of the Planning Commission also be in- cluded. Mayor Blomquist recommended a limit of 12 studio units and submitted a proposed resolution in the form of an amendment for consideration by the Council regarding approval of the application which was rejected. Those in favor of the motion were Wachter and Smith; those against were Blomquist, Thomas and Egan. The motion failed. There was considerable discussion con- cerning the number of studio units that should be allowed. Mayor Blomquist then submitted the following Resolution: WHEREAS, U. S. Homes, Inc., has applied for preliminary plat approval for a 672 -unit condominium complex consisting of 28 buildings with 168 studio units, and WHEREAS, the City of Eagan's Comprehensive Guide Plan provides for goals and objectives in housing; and, WHEREAS, Table 12 p. VIII -27 provides for a goal of 50 modest cost dwelling units within Section 14 of the City where this development is proposed; and WHEREAS, it is the policy of the City to distribute modest cost housing in a reasonable manner about the City; and WHEREAS, a reasonable upgrading of Table 13 P. VIII -30 for inflation since 1978 would result in the studio units being classified as modest cost housing; NOW THEREFORE, upon motion by Blomquist, seconded Egan, it was Resolved as follows: That the preliminary plat application of U. S. Homes be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. That no more than 50 studio units as described in the application be allowed so that additional modest cost housing may be allowed in Section 14 generally within the goals of the Eagan Comprehensive Plan. 2. That the construction in the proposed cul de sac south of the looped road be designated an outlot and no specific street plan be provided at the present time. T 90495 Council Minutes April 20, 1982 3. Cross easements and parking easements shall be granted on the lots which are served by common access for more than one dwelling unit and shall be reviewed by the City staff prior to recording. 4.

The 2.5 parking spaces per ordinance requirement shall be reduced to one covered space and one parking space per unit. 9. The preliminary plat shall be reviewed by Dakota County's Plat Commission and subject to their recommendations. 10. All other ordinance requirements shall be met. 6 -a Council Minutes April 20, 1982 00096 11. Temporary service for sanitary sewer will be allowed through the Tomark Addition for this proposed development under the condition that the internal sanitary sewer system shall provide flexibility in allowing approxi- mately 60% of this development to be redirected in the future through the Windcrest trunk system to the south. 12. A storm sewer system connecting the proposed northerly pond (DP -18) with the pond in the northwest corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Lexington Avenue (DP-5) must be constructed as a condition of final plat approval. 13. A positive gravity storm sewer outlet to service the property south of Duckwood Drive must be constructed to Hurley Lake in addition to developing the internal ponding area referenced as JP-45. 14. The construction of a 44 foot, 9 ton collector street for the extension of Duckwood Drive to the east plat line shall be the responsibility of this development. 15. A 60 foot half right -of -way shall be dedicated for Lexington Avenue. An 80 foot right -of -way shall be dedicated for Duckwood Drive. 16.

This development shall provide for a future storm sewer outlet from Pond JP-46 within the Carriage Hills Golf Course. 19. Ten foot drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated adjacent to all public rights -of -way and adjacent to private property. 20. A 5 foot concrete sidewalk should be installed along the north side of Duckwood Drive as a part of this development. An 8 foot bituminous trail - way should be constructed along the east side of Lexington Avenue within a 10 foot easement adjacent to the west line of this proposed plat. In addition, a walkway connection to the southeast corner of this plat should be provided as indicated by the Advisory Park and Recreation Committee. KA Council Minutes April 20, 1982 00097 It was noted that although 50 modest cost units are recommended in Sec- tion 14; that in order to scatter such housing throughout the City, that 50 units in the project, excluding the outlot, would be a reasonable number in light of the facts presented and the testimony presented during the considera- tion of the application including the fact that the studio units are not tested in Eagan or substantially throughout the metropolitan area, that fewer units may create unnecessary litigation and that the City is committed to some lower income and subsidized housing, but that such subsidized housing could be met by taxes and financing. Of the 624 units now being proposed, only about 8 1/2% would be studio units. All members voted in favor. SEE PLAT FILE Mr. Hedges indicated that SuperAmerica Corporation had made an applica- tion to the City of Eagan in 1978 for preliminary plat and conditional use approval to allow service station at the southwest corner of Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road. The APC recommended denial of the plat and City Council approved the plat and conditional use permit. However, no conditions were attached. On September 1, 1981 the representative of SuperAmerica, Mr. E. Lewis Schuette, appeared on behalf of SuperAmerica and the Council again extended the time for approval of the final plat without conditions. The staff now recommends certain conditions be imposed. Mr. Schuette was present and did not object to the proposed conditions. It was noted there would be only a right turn in and out from Yankee Doodle Road with no access to Pilot Knob Road. Upon motion by Smith, seconded Egan, it was resolved that the Council impose the following conditions upon the approval of the final plat for SuperAmerica for that location: 1. That there be only right turn in and out from Yankee Doodle Road. 2. That there be provision for adequate landscaping bond and that the bond not be released until at least one year after the landscaping is com- pleted. 3. That all easements required by the.City staff be included as normally provided along lot lines. There were no objections. It was further recommended that an attempt be made by SuperAmerica to convey the south triangle to the property owner to the south to create a more even lot line. All voted in favor. SEE PLAT FILE E: 00098 Council Minutes April 20, 1982 A request had been made by the owner of Southfork Restaurant on Highway #3 to authorize the restaurant to remain open on a 24 hour basis to serve food beyond the time limitations for service of liquor. Mr. Richard Gabriel, attorney, and Mr. Stanley Lynn, owner, appeared on behalf of the Southfork Restaurant and the Council also heard Chief Martin DesLauriers and the City Attorney regarding the proposal. Mr. DesLauriers stated he contacted several other police departments, including Minneapolis, where certain restaurants are authorized to remain open beyond the 1:00 closing time with specific condi- tions. However, he stated very few authorize restaurants to remain open beyond closing time for the sale of liquor and because of the anticipated policing problems including securing the liquor sales area after 1:00 a.m., he recommended against extending hours for food service and stated he does not feel it would benefit the City. City Attorney Paul Hauge reviewed several alternates in the event that the Council authorizes the amendment to the Liquor, 3.2 Beer and Wine License Ordinances. Mr. Gabriel stated the owner would police and be responsible for his own establishment and requested that the Ordinance revision be authorized. Wachter moved, Egan seconded the motion to deny the request to allow the sale of food to take place in the restaurant on a 24 -hour basis or to amend either of the three ordinances as discussed. Those in favor were Wachter, Egan and Blomquist, and those against were Thomas and Smith. An application of Signcrafters Outdoor Display, Inc. for pylon business sign at the Contract Beverages building on 2755 Highway #55 was next con- sidered. Charles Peugh appeared for the applicant. The Advisory Planning Commission recommended approval on March 23, 1982 subject to certain condi- tions. There were no objections. Smith moved, Wachter seconded the motion to approve the application, subject to the following conditions: 1. The pylon sign may not be located within 300 feet of any other pylon sign measured on the same side of the street. 2. The pylon sign may not project more than 27 feet above ground level. 3. The pylon sign may not exceed 125 square feet of signage per area. 4. The pylon sign shall not be located nearer than 10 feet from any property or dividing line. 5. The sign shall be in conformance with all other applicable ordinances. All voted in favor. 0 00099 Council Minutes April 20, 1982 The application of Mr. & Mrs. Donald Rasmussen for variance for garage setback at 1525 Cliff Road was next considered. The Advisory Planning Commis- sion on March 23, 1982 recommended approval subject to certain conditions allowing the variance for garage 5 feet from the rear lot line rather than 15 feet as required. There were no objections and Mrs. Rasmussen was present. Wachter moved, Egan seconded the motion to approve the application subject to the following conditions: 1. The City shall retain all existing drainage and utility easements. 2. All other City ordinances shall be met. All voted yes. The application of Countryside Builders, Inc., Jerry Lagro, for prelimi- nary plat approval of Oakwood Heights Addition consisting of approximately 9.59 acres for townhouse development was considered by the council. The Advisory Planning Commission on March 23, 1982 recommended approval subject to certain conditions. The important concern of the APC regarded the R -2 zoning of Planned Development and density allowed in a townhouse development project. In addition, the issue of including private streets as opposed to public streets in computing density was a concern of the Committee. Darrel Anderson, Architect and Mr. Lagro were present. Mr_. Anderson indicated there were two plans with 55 units in one plan and described the proposal in some detail. He further stated that the plan included all private driveways. The building structures would be frame with partial brick exterior in the $60,000 to $90,000 price bracket. There was considerable discussion concerning whether to include the private streets in determination of density as generally the City Council members felt strongly that the private streets should be excluded as are public streets in determining density. The streets will be built to City standards and it appeared that if the private streets are deducted, that 45 units would be authorized. There was also discussion concerning the density that had been included in developments already approved in the general area in the Lexington South Planned Development, noting that the zoning of the specific property was R -2 under Planned Development. Blomquist moved, Egan seconded the motion to continue the application until the next regular meeting to allow the staff to research the projects approved for residential develop- ment in Lexington South to determine density. All voted in favor. 10 06100 Council Minutes April 20, 1982 The application of Midwestern Associates, Orrin Aune, for preliminary plat approval of Lone Oak Heights consisting of approximately 14 acres was then considered by the Council. Mr. Aune was present as was Jack Clinton, Attorney, an Architect, an Engineer, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Shields and their Attorney, Harold LeVander, Jr. Mr. Clinton detailed the history of the parcel of property and the various proposals that have been submitted in recent years for development of the parcel located at the southwest intersection of Lone Oak and Pilot Knob Roads. He detailed the concerns of the City Council of January 1982 and the revisions that had been proposed by the applicant for the plan. He indicated there would be no 3 bedroom units, that the density would provide 10.1 units per acre where 12 units per acre are allowed. There would be 72 condominium units with underground parking and 53 townhouse units. He noted the roadway layout had been moved easterly, the NSP pipeline would be moved at the developer's cost and also indicated that it was his opinion that there was a 20 to 25 acre buffer in the form of a park and school between the R -1 land to the west and the Lone Oak development. He further outlined that there is sufficient water and sewer capacity for the development according to his statistics. He commented on the financing for the project and stated the density and zoning requirements have been met and no variances are being requested. He further stated that Mr. Aune has agreed with all conditions imposed by the staff and Advisory Planning Commission. It was noted that condition No. 6 of the APC was conditioned upon the Advisory Park and Recrea- tion Committee recommendation. A number of interested area residents were present including some from Timberline. James Woods presented a history of the development occuring in Section 9, stating the zoning was approved in 1975 and was not applicable to 1982 and recommended downzoning of the property. He referred extensively to the Comprehensive Guide Plan and read a prepared statement for the Council. John Gustin from Timberline also reviewed statis- tics from constructed multi - family units indicating there are about 1,400 residential units within one square mile of townhouse and multiple variety. He also discussed the history including the October 20, 1981 Council action to order an appraisal of the cost of downzoning the subject property. He further submitted a Petition to downzone. Harold LeVander, Jr. discussed in detail the history of the project, including the rezoning and the sale of the park land that took place in 1975. He stated that pending assessments for Pilot Knob Road are about $40,000 to $50,000 and also that pending assessments for sanitary sewer of about $72,000 exist on the property, indicating that he felt that the Council has committed itself to high density use of the Shields' land. John Gustin read verbatim a letter from Larry Kennedy addressed to the City Council, dated February 1975 regarding the project. Councilman Egan indicated the density issue has been improved somewhat and that other changes have now been submitted to comply with some of the Council requests. After extended discussion, Wachter moved, Smith seconded the motion to approve the preliminary plat, subject to the following conditions: 1. If the site plan is approved, the gas main shall be relocated so as to not interfere with any of the proposed buildings and also to the satisfac- tion of Northern States Power Company. 11 OC101 Council Minutes April 20, 1982 2. The plat shall be subject to all easements as required by City staff. 3. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be approved by the City staff. 4.

Previously deferred trunk area water assessments and lateral benefit from trunk water main shall be assumed by this development as a condition of final plat approval. 13. A thirty foot half right -of -way shall•be dedicated for Towerview Road. 14. Towerview Road shall be ordered for improvement prior to final plat approval and the cost shall be assessed against the benefitted property. 15. That City shall impose restrictions to cut down excessive through traffic on Shields Lane. 12 00102 Council Minutes April 20, 1982 Mayor Blomquist stated that she felt that the bargaining powers of the City Council had been taken away in 1975 whereas Councilman Smith indicated a compromise had been struck at that time in light of the facts concerning the proposed use of the property, the park requirements, and densities. Those in favor were Egan, Smith, Thomas and Wachter. Against was Blomquist. SEE PLAT FILE John Gustin explained to the Council his understanding concerning the emission of chemicals intended to be used for the manufacture of micro- processor equipment in the new Univac Plant on Pilot Knob Road. He indicated an EIS had been filed with the City prior to construction but was concerned about potential danger due to emissions and chemicals used at the plant. It was noted that the Pollution Control Agency does control the emissions and chemicals in such a facility but that the staff will further check into the issue. 1 r• 111 r' E1 1 1 l� • 1 1 4 D, 11 F4 1 1 4 , 41 The application of Zachman Homes for preliminary plat approval of Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition consisting of 5 single family lots, 28 single family cluster lots and 8 twin home lots was next considered by the Council. Steve Ryan appeared and reviewed the history of the planned development and noted the revisions to the 3rd Addition from the original proposal. He further stated that the Northern States Power easement is farther south than originally determined so that one single family lot was dropped. The number of condominium buildings was reduced from 3 1/2 to 3 and also blank walls for the condo units were reoriented along Cedar Avenue. There were certain revi- sions to the park and the density was substantially lowered. There were no objections to the proposal. The Advisory Planning Commission recommended approval on March 23, 1982 subject to conditions noted in their minutes. Wachter moved, Egan seconded the motion to approve the application, subject to the following conditions: 1. That 18 additional town home lots be included in the project. 2.

The notices pertaining to the final assessment hearing were apparently not forwarded to Dakota County Abstract which is holding escrows for the assessments following the closing of lots in the addition. Staff members had met with the developer and with Dakota County Abstract Company and recommended against allowing the interest to be waived, indicating that Dakota County Abstract was notified of the assessments and that the City had done everything required to notice the assessment hearing.
