AMCON CORPORATION - RAVINE PLAZA - REZONING
At 7:30 P.M. the Mayor announced that the Council would consider the
application of Amcon Corporation and Patrick M. Gannon to rezone from A (Agri-
cultural) to PD (Planned Development) 19.1 acres at the southwest intersection
of proposed I -494 and Pilot Knob Road. The public hearing was held by the
Planning Commission on June 22, 1982 and a 3 to 3 tie vote on a motion to deny
the rezoning request resulted. The City Council considered the application on
July 6, 1982 and deferred formal action until the August 3, 1982 meeting to
allow the City Administrator to request a meeting of the Joint Airport Zoning
Board of the Minneapolis /St. Paul International Airport to consider the safety
issues that have been raised due to the fact that the proposed project is
located within Zone B of the MnDOT safety zone regulations. The packet infor-
mation to the Council included a copy of the Administrator's letter to the
Executive Director of the MAC, an updated report from Dale Runkle, the City
Planner, dated July 30, 1982 concerning the first Joint Zoning Board meeting
held on July 29, 1982 and copies of letters from business persons in the area
recommending approval of the application. Councilman Egan, a member of the
Joint Zoning Board, gave a review of the Joint Zoning Board meeting and also
stated that the Eagan representatives requested suggestions from the Joint
Zoning Board concerning the Amcon application in Eagan. He stated that the
issues for the City Council included whether to proceed with the Joint Zoning
Board process or to act upon the Amcon application and later become involved
in the Joint Zoning Board process covering land that would come within the
proposed safety zones. He reviewed briefly the MnDOT regulations proposed to
be adopted by the Joint Zoning Board and stated the majority of the six
affected communities' councils could vote to approve the restrictions and bind
the applicable portion of Eagan to the regulations. The Joint Zoning Board
members would not give an advisory opinion.
Peter Stalland, 011ie Ulvilden and Mr. Gannon were present on behalf of
the applicant. Mr. Stalland made a presentation on behalf of the applicant
and stated the City had no right to withhold approval of the application in
that according to his information, no regulation prohibited the approval of
the application. He futher stated that Eagan's Comprehensive Plan provided
for roadside business but it was noted that the property is currently zoned A
(Agricultural). Mayor Blomquist asked if Mr. Stalland threatened the City by
his statement that in the event the Council does not approve the application,
that an alternative was to bring legal proceedings against the City and Mr.
Stalland said no.
Mayor Blomquist then stated that the Joint Zoning Board has just begun to
meet, the Advisory Planning Commission has made no recommendation but a 3 to 3
vote resulted from a motion to deny the application and that she could not
make an adequate decision whether to approve or deny the application at this
time. Councilman Wachter stated he felt it was a good plan, it does comply
with existing regulations, that the Joint Zoning Board may take up to two
years to adopt any zoning regulations, and that other violations have occurred
in other cities within the flight zones.

Council Minutes
August 3, 1982
After lengthy discussion, Wachter moved, Thomas seconded the motion to
approve the application including the condition that an agreement will be
executed between the City, the developer and the owner, holding the City
harmless from any claims or causes of action that may result from airplane
accidents or disasters resulting from air traffic in the flight pattern, and
further, all conditions more particularly described in the Resolution attached
to these Minutes and made a part hereof. John Gustin, an Eagan resident,
stated that the applicant was attempting to coerce the Council to change the
zoning and stated he felt that the safety regulations are critical. John
Klein, a resident, stated the proceedings have now gone on for over a year.
It was noted that this is the second application that has been submitted by
the same applicant with the first application being denied in March of 1982.
Mayor Blomquist indicated that the subject area was not shown as a safety zone
when the Comprehensive Plan Hearings were held and no such information was
submitted at that time.
Councilman Egan made the following comments:
1. There appear to be some enforcement problems regarding a hold
harmless agreement.
2. The Council has a duty to act prudently before any potential
accident occurs and that it ought to review safety standards prior to any
action.
3. He suggested the possibility of a moratorium on any rezoning changes
or applications within the proposed safety zone B.
4. That the objective should not be to protect the City from lawsuits,
but to set adequate standards for the safety of individuals in the future.
Councilman Smith made the following comments:
1. That zoning takes precedence over the Comprehensive Guide according
to the Eagan Comprehensive Guide Plan and that no rights accrue to a property
owner by the Comprehensive Guide.
2. An important element is whether this is a desirable use in the
location.
3. That the density is an important issue and that he would oppose the
seven to eight story building in that location because of possible safety
issues but that three -story buildings would comply with ordinances and not
create safety problems.
4. He would favor concept approval of the proposal but would not
approve the rezoning or preliminary plat approval at the present time.

Council Minutes
August 3, 1982
Those in favor were Wachter and Thomas. Those against were Blomquist,
Smith and Egan. Mayor Blomquist then read the statement indicating her
reasons for voting against the application, including the following reasons:
1. The City Council has insufficient information concerning the
potential air traffic safety hazards for high -rise buildings within the safety
zones.
2. The Eagan Advisory Planning Commission made no recommendation based
upon a tie vote at its regulr meeting on June 22, 1982 concerning the Amcon
application.

International Airport Joint Zoning Board be convened to consider the proposed
regulations concerning construction within the safety zones and the Board has
now commenced its deliberations regarding such proposed regulations.

and review the proposed adoption of such regulations.
5. Interested individuals and businesses have expressed strong concerns
for approval, disapproval, or further study of applications regarding the
proposed construction of high -rise buildings within the safety zones.
6. That the application of Amcon Corporation is the first application
for proposed construction of high -rise buildings within the flight path safety
zones in the City of Eagan, and the implications will have a long -term impact
upon construction of similar kinds of structures within the City of Eagan and
surrounding municipalities, similarily impacted.
7. The Mendota Heights City Council at its meeting on July 20, 1982
expressed concern about the need for study and review of proposed regulations
for construction within the safety zones, and one councilmember suggested that
the City attempt to initiate a meeting of the Joint Zoning Board to review
such proposals.
The Mayor indicated that she was not opposed to or in favor of the
project, but was concerned about the health, safety and welfare of the
citizens and the persons that would be involved and located within the safety
zone. There was discussion concerning the potential for a moratorium for one
year on the Ravine Plaza project until the Joint Zoning Board determines
whether to proceed with the proposed MnDOT ordinance. No further action was
taken and the discussion ended at 8:50 p.m.

for the Yankee Square Office III bond issue has indicated that the Council
could authorize private placement subject to a letter of credit and Miller &

WILDERNESS PARK 3RD ADDITION - PARK DEDICATION FEE
A request from Mr. Ed Dunn that the City Council charge park dedication
fees on a building permit basis for Wilderness Park 3rd Addition was reviewed.
Mr. Dunn was present and explained his position, noting that the Wilderness
Park 3rd Addition park dedication fees had not been paid and that he only
recently had become aware of this lack of payment. Staff members recommended
against changing the current policy noting that lots could be sold, and that
the administrative burden of allowing the fees to be paid at the time of the
application for the building permit, may work a hardship for the City. It was
also noted there was a disparity between the developers required to dedicate
land at the time of the platting and those that would be allowed under the
proposal to donate cash at the time of the issuance of building permits. Egan
moved, Smith seconded the motion that the Council continue its current policy
that park dedication fees be paid at the time of approval of each final plat,
and in the event that any park dedication fees are not paid at that time, that
the rate in existence at the time of payment would apply for such fees. All
voted yes.
