Mayor Blomquist convened the final assessment hearing covering Improve-
ment Project #323A consisting of utility improvements to Coachman Land Company
First Addition. There were no appearances and no objections. After review of

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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. A detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be
approved by the City staff prior to any construction on the proposed site.
3. No variances shall be granted for setbacks on the single family,
duplex or cluster home development unless it relates to topographic condi-
tions.

cluster units. The developer shall also meet the specifications of the City

Council Minutes
April 20, 1982
A Petition from 13 property owners in Brittany Manor 1st Addition,
requesting special consideration by the City Council pertaining to the
interest rate levied on the special assessments for the installation of
streets in 1981 was reviewed. 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.
Wachter moved that the Petition for waiver of interest be reluctantly denied
because the City did not appear to be in error. Thomas seconded the motion
and all voted in favor.
