METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION MEETING
Assistant to the City Administrator Hohenstein reported that on November 5, the MAC Planning and
Environmental committee had considered the on -going Eagan /Mendota Heights corridor issue. The consensus
seemed to be that the fanning of air traffic outside the corridor, as requested by Mendota Heights, would impact
more homes than containment within the corridor. Contrary to that evidence, at the conclusion of the meeting,
a replacement motion was offered to try the Mendota Heights fanning proposal for 60 days and it was passed
unanimously. Mr. Hohenstein stated that the motion will have to go before the full Board meeting on November
16. Because the Council will not meet again before that meeting, Mr. Hohenstein asked whether a
recommendation from the Airport Relations Committee should be advanced by staff.
Mayor Egan questioned whether the City would have an opportunity to make a presentation before the
MAC makes its final decision. Mr. Hohenstein suggested that the City oppose the action; however, said the
MAC may have decided that fanning should at least be tried. Councilmember Awada recommended that the
residents of Eagan be made aware of the action so they may make their concerns known. Councilmember
Pawlenty asked Mr. Hohenstein to forward all necessary information to him so that he could also attend the
meeting on November 16.

Mayor Egan introduced this item as Project 608, final assessment hearing for Eagandale Center
Industrial Park 3rd & 4th Additions - structural overlay. City Administrator Hedges indicated that an
informational meeting had been scheduled for October 21 to answer questions and concerns; however, none of
the affected property owners attended. Mayor Egan asked if any members of the audience wished to address
this hearing, no one came forward.
McCrea moved, Pawlenty seconded, a motion to close the public hearing and adopted the final
assessment roll for Project 608 ( Eagandale Center Industrial Park 3rd & 4th Additions - Structural Overlay) and
authorized its certification to Dakota County.
Director of Public Works Colbert advised the Council that the City had been contacted by Alscor
Corporation in regard to reallocating their assessments against individual parcels. Mr. Colbert indicated the
assessment roll had been amended to reflect that change and staff was presenting the amended roll to the City
Council for approval.
The motioners agreed to amend the motion accordingly:

FINAL ASSESSMENT HEARING
CEDAR INDUSTRIAL PARK
Mayor Egan introduced this item as Project 622, final assessment hearing, Cedar Industrial Park - street
rehabilitation. City Administrator Hedges indicated that an informational meeting had been held on October
22, 1992, however, none of the affected property owners attended.
Mark Parranto, of JPK Properties, made a formal objection to the assessments. He said no notice had
been received regarding either the informational meeting or the public hearing and he indicated.his objections
to the continuing failure of the City to properly notify his company. Mr. Parranto informed the Council he
became aware of the present meeting from the agenda published in the newspaper.
When Mr. Parranto left the public hearing in June, he said he expected some discussion regarding
whether or not the driveway apron to their property needed to be replaced because the apron and parking lot
had just been redone. He stated he found it interesting that the first driveway chosen to be torn up with this
project was the driveway to JPK Properties. Mr. Parranto noted that his company objects to the way the project
Page 5/EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
November 5, 1992
was handled and he said lack of notification is the basis of their objection to the final assessment.
Councilmember Wachter suggested that the public hearing be deferred to a future meeting and that staff check
out Mr. Parranto's objections and attempt to resolve. Mr. Parranto said their number one objection is the
perceived value to their property of these improvements. He noted that one -half the assessment is the concrete
apron.
Wachter moved, McCrea seconded, a motion to continue the public hearing to the November 17, 1992,
regular City Council meeting for Project 622, Cedar Industrial Park - structural overlay. Aye: 5 Nay: 0

Mayor Egan introduced this item as Project 590, final assessment hearing, South Pilot Knob Road -
streets and utilities. City Administrator Hedges advised the City Council that an informational meeting had been
held on October 26 and residents were present.
Director of Public Works Colbert indicated one written objection had been received from Daniel
Henschen, 4871 Pilot Knob Road, even though the storm sewer lateral portion of the assessment has been
removed. He said street and storm sewer improvement rates are very close to or equal to earlier estimates. Mr.
Colbert went on to explain that an amended roll had been prepared deleting the storm sewer lateral assessments
from the project. For Council's information, Mr. Colbert advised that the County had objected to the amount
of their assessment. Mayor Egan said he could not remember the County objecting to the assessments for a
County project before. He then noted no one from the County was in attendance. City Attorney Sheldon stated
that staff had met with the County and after attempts to resolve objections were unsuccessful, advised the
County that the City Council would be asked to certify the assessments.
Dan Henschen, 4871 Pilot Knob Road, expressed his thanks for the informational meeting. He stated
that many of his questions had been answered but he still questioned whether there was any increase in value
to his property associated with the street improvements. Mr. Henschen indicated that because of the street
upgrade, part of his landscaping had been removed, automobile and pedestrian traffic had increased, and his
privacy had been lost. In addition, he said he had in effect paid three times: the cost of the street, the
devaluation of his property, and the replacement of his landscaping. When informed that his written objection
allowed him 30 days in which to file suit, Mr. Henschen indicated he would prefer to settle the issue at this
meeting.
LaVerna Lehmann, 4865 Pilot Knob Road, filed a notice of objection at the meeting.
McCrea moved, Awada seconded, a motion to close the public hearing and adopt the final assessment
roll as presented for Project 590 and authorized its certification to Dakota County. Aye: 5 Nay: 0

located at 800 Lone Oak Road. Director of Community Development Runkle described the application and its
location.
Gar Hoerschgen of Dart Transit was present to answer any questions. He said their business is growing
thus prompting the need for expansion.
Gary Stark, owner of Stark's Saloon, complained that the Darts Transit improvement would put a road
through Stark's parking lot. In addition, he stated that he had just put $11,000 into a new sign and the expanded
building would block any view of the sign. As a point of clarification, Mayor Egan reminded the audience that
the City was considering a variance application and the road was a separate matter between the property owners
and MnDOT. A suggestion was made that Mr. Stark move the sign; however, he indicated it would cost
approximately $5,000 to move it.
Mr. Hoerschgen was asked whether a continuance to look at some of Mr. Stark's concerns would cause
a hardship to Dart Transit. Mr. Hoerschgen indicated it would as they were hoping to build yet this year. He
Page 7 /EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
November 5, 1992
said their plans had already been delayed two weeks by the last continuance and he expressed his surprise that
Mr. Stark had not objected before this time. When Councilmember Awada asked Mr. Hoerschgen if Dart would
be willing to assist in the cost of moving Mr. Starks sign, he said Dart wanted to be a good neighbor and would
not rule out such an arrangement.
The City Council indicated they did not want to delay the expansion plans of one of the City's corporate
citizens and employers and suggested Darts work with Mr. Stark in an attempt to resolved some of Mr. Stark's
concerns about the road and placement of the sign.
McCrea moved, Awada seconded, a motion to approve a variance for Dart Transit of 50' to the required
50' setback, located at 800 Lone Oak Road and subject to the following conditions:

the City's notification, Mr. Runkle said that Mr. Prettyman had sent a letter to all neighbors within 200' of the
lot, and all had signed off with no objections. Mr. Prettyman was available for questions and noted that the lot
in question was for his own home. There was no one in the audience to address the issue.
Wachter moved, Pawlenty seconded, a motion to approve a variance for Don Prettyman of 2% to the

approximately 40 AG (Agricultural) acres to a PD (Planned Development) District allowing a mixture of
residential uses, and a preliminary plat consisting of 126 units, located along the north side of Diffley Road in
the SE 1/4 of Section 21. Director of Community Development Runkle explained the application and its
location. He said the 126 units consist of 31 single family homes, 35 townhomes, and 60 quad homes and noted
this to be a change in density from the original proposal of 181 units. Herb Wensmann was available to answer
any questions.
Councilmember Awada stated that in her opinion, there are too many multifamily homes in the City
already but noted these are of higher quality. Councilmember McCrea said she was pleased to see the needs
of seniors being addressed with the single -level homes.
City Administrator Hedges then addressed the parks issue. Because the Advisory Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources Commission was meeting at the same time as the City Council, parks dedication requirements
had not been finalized. Mr. Hedges suggested two actions by the Council: 1) continue the item for 30 days to
allow review of the site grading plan or 2) take action on the application with the condition that park dedication
requirements be worked out to staffs satisfaction.
Chim Hue, 1105 Duckwood Drive, who recently moved from Eden Prairie to Eagan, expressed his
opposition to more multifamily homes in Eagan. Mr. Hue agreed that the new plan was preferable to the
original plan and indicated his appreciation for the developers reducing the number of units. He went on to say,
Page 9 /EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
November 5, 1992
however, that the City has to take all the pieces into consideration when looking at the overall picture of what
the City is to become. He asked what control the City has over market values of proposed homes and materials
used in their construction. Mayor Egan stated that the City requires 60% brick on multiple construction. He
added that the proposed development appears to be an excellent compromise for the property as the
Comprehensive Guide Plan would have permitted 6 units per acre. The Mayor said the City is attempting to
reduce the amount of multiple in the City and cited the downzoning of approximately 159 acres.
Awada moved, Pawlenty seconded, a motion to approve a rezoning of approximately 40 AG
(Agricultural) acres to a PD (Planned Development) District allowing a mixture of residential uses located along
the north side of Diffley Road in the SE 1/4 of Section 21 and subject to appropriate parks dedication
requirements as determined by the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission. Aye: 5

Director of Public Works Colbert advised the City Council that 720+ notices had been sent to property
owners for this public hearing. He said that while not all will attend, those that do may not be accommodated

evening and to a place large enough for all those attending. For Council's information, Mr. Colbert said staff
had checked schools previously but found the only space available for such a large group to be Mary, Mother
of the Church. After discussion, it was determined that the public hearing for Project 617R will be held on
