The remaining $24,000.00 of the $324,000.00 available was proposed for a feasibility study and market research to determine the need for senior citizen housing in the Cities of Apple Valley, Eagan and Burnsville. A letter from Representative Chuck Halberg recommending favorable action regarding the Robert Lewis House application was also submitted with the packet. It was noted that another application had been submitted by the Burnsville Mobile Home Association and there were questions concerning the propriety of one application from one community being awarded some of the district funds.

In addition, adequate buffering for the residents to the east was recommended by the Planning Commission. The Park Committee recommended cash dedication but was concerned about the amount of impervious material within the plat and the unequal distribution of green space. The issue concerning extension of the roadway under the railway bridge to the west into Burnsville was also discussed. The developer indicated that he would give an easement along the section line. Twelve buildings are being proposed with ten self-storage buildings, caretakers residence, and an office along Nicols Road. There was discussion concerning the creek running through the property and Mr. Stalland, who was present, indicated that there was no change in the configuration of the creek. There was also discussion concerning water main location and it was proposed that assessments be levied against the benefitted property along Cedar Avenue. Lester Spencer was present and reviewed the letter that he and a neighboring owner had sent to the City Council objecting to certain aspects of the appli- cation. Mr. Runkle indicated that no EAW was requested because the thresholds had not been reached. Mr. Stalland stated that there would be floating slabs with a filter fabric and sand to hold the buildings in place. The buildings would be relatively light weight and further it was noted that the lighting from the project will not affect adjoining properties. Mr. Spencer had concerns about soil problems and the effect on the neighboring buildings. Mr. Stalland and Bill Maurer, engineer, were present and indicated that there should be no impact on the neighboring buildings.

SEE PLAT FILE BLACKHAWK TOWNBOUSE APARTMENTS - PRELDffNARY PLAT The application of Sharevest and Douglas Johnson for preliminary plat approval of Blackhawk Townhouse Apartments consisting of 168 apartment units on 11.7 acres of land located east of Blackhawk Road one-fourth mile south of Diffley Road was brought before the Council. The Advisory Planning Commission recommended approval at its October 23, 1984 meeting subject to conditions. A number of neighbors had appeared at the Planning Commission meeting with concerns regarding the proposal and felt the zoning was inappropriate for the area. The zoning is R-4 and the applicant also indicated that one setback variance along I-35E was being requested. Ron Erickson, architect, was present, as was Mr. Johnson. Mr. Erickson indicated that landscaping would be installed along the north property line adjacent to the Darold Holden property. Mr. Holden was present and was concerned about headlights and security. It was noted the grade was about four feet lower than the Holden property and plantings will be placed along the north line and along the Tscherne and Antonson property. Mayor Blomquist questioned whether there was a hardship that would allow for a 20-foot variance along I-35E and Mr. Erickson stated the reason was not to increase density but to allow more open space adjacent to the neighboring property owners. Further, he indicated a stand of trees within the develop- ment was intended to be preserved. Councilmembers were concerned about the development being too close to the freeway and thus the reason for the requirement for 50-foot setback. Councilman Smith requested the applicant redraw the plat to provide for the buildings in the lower area rather than the higher areas. After discussion, Blomquist moved, Egan seconded the motion to continue the application until the December 4, 1984 regular meeting for addi- tional review and information to be submitted to the City Council. All members voted yes. SEE PLAT FILE 9 Council Minutes V November 20, 1984 BLACKHAWK TOWNHOUSE APARTMENT PROJECT - MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING Upon motion by Egan, seconded Thomas, it was resolved that the applica- tion of Douglas Johnson for multi-family housing revenue financing for the Blackhawk Townhouse Apartment project be continued until the December 4, 1984 regular meeting. All members voted yea. EAGAN STANDARD - SETBACK VARIANCE The application of James Persons of Eagan Standard for a 30-foot variance from the 50-foot front setback for an overhead canopy along Nicols Road at the Amoco Station was submitted for consideration. The Eagan City Code has the same setback for service station buildings, gasoline pumps, and overhead canopies and noted that the existing gas pumps are within the 50-foot setback from Nicols Road. The applicant requested that he be allowed to construct a canopy over the existing pumps and there were no objections. Mr. Persons was present. Smith moved, Thomas seconded a motion that the variance be granted, subject to the following condition that all other City ordinances be complied with, noting that it will be to the advantage of the customers to have a canopy over the pumps and there clearly would be hardship without granting the variance. All members voted in favor. ARDELL MOSER - SPECIAL PERMIT - DAYCARE FACILITY APPLICATION Ardell Moser applied for a special permit to allow for up to ten children in a daycare facility at 3140 Pilot Knob Road in an R-1 Single Family District and submitted the application to the City Council for its review. Dale Runkle explained the application noting that the daycare center had been used for that purpose in the past with less than six children. A petition had been submitted from neighboring property owners with the exception of Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Schaumberg supporting the application. Mr. and Mrs. Moser were present and indicated that they had lived in Eagan and have also recently purchased a home in Apple Valley. There were questions as to where the Mosers were living and the answer appeared to be that they were living in both locations. A decision would be made in January of 1985 where they would have their perma- nent homestead. There were concerns about interpretation of the ordinance and if the Mosers abandon their home as their permanent residence that the resi- dence would then be used for business purposes only. Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Schaumberg were present and also submitted a petition from neighboring owners objecting to the application and questioned whether the current use of the property is now permissible. Wachter moved, Egan seconded the motion to deny the application noting that there is confusion as to whether the property is being used for strictly commercial purposes and further on the basis of the objections as submitted from some of the property owners. It was noted the primary reason for the motion was because it appeared that the applicants were living in Apple Valley. All members voted in favor. 10 Council Minutes , November 20, 1984 .

It was noted that at the time of the submission of the application for preliminary plat approval that the applicant indicated that there would be setback variances for some of the lots requested. There were no objections and the staff recommended approval subject to compliance with other City requirements.

It was recommended that the hearing be scheduled for the December 18, 1984 meeting. Upon motion by Egan, seconded Wachter, it was resolved that the application be denied noting that the appli- cation for preliminary plat approval has not been reviewed and that the policy guidelines now require that the preliminary plat application be approved prior to consideration of the revenue bonds.
