CONSENT AGENDA
The following consent agenda items were presented to the City Council for
its consideration:
1. Contractor's Licenses. A group of applications from contractors
including heating, ventilating, plumbing and general contractors was submitted
and recommended to be approved.
2. Lexington/Northview Park - Trunk Storm Sewer - Project #479. The
feasibility report for Project #479 consisting of trunk storm sewer
improvements in the Lexington and Northview Park area was submitted and it was
recommended that the Council receive the report and schedule the public
hearing for December 16, 1986 at 7:00 p.m. at the Municipal Center.
3. Northview Park Road - Lexington Square 6th Addition - Project #485.
The next feasibility report submitted by the consulting engineers covered
Project #485 consisting of street and utility improvements for Lexington
Square 6th Addition and Northview Park Road. It was recommended that the
Council receive the feasibility report and schedule a public hearing before
the City Council at its regular meeting on December 16, 1986 at 7:00 p.m. at

purpose of the Association.
Upon motion by Egan, seconded Ellison, it was resolved that the foregoing
consent agenda be approved and authorize it to be implemented by the City
staff. All voted in favor.
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN
Mr. Hedges discussed with the City Council a proposal from Mayor Blomquist
to include the DI designation for all DII designated areas on the proposed
Comp Guide revised map. All existing DI designations would remain the same
but DI would be added to DII designations to allow greater flexibility for the
APC and City Council to encourage more single family detached housing within
the City (e.g. DI/DII). It was proposed that in the event that there would be
any revision, that there would be findings prepared, knowing that the Land Use
plan is only a guide for future development.
2
Council Minutes
November 18, 1986 Councilman Smith indicated that if there is flexibility, then the proposal
would be meaningless and opposed the method. Councilman Ellison favored the
proposal stating the developer then could still potentially develop at a 4 to
6 unit per acre density, if the developer chose to do so.
After discussion, Wachter moved, Egan seconded the motion to provide in
the proposed Comprehensive Guide supplement, that all DII property could be
developed with 0 to 6 units per acre for reasons including the following:
1. The City Council is concerned about the lack of availability of large
single family lots within the City.
2. The demand for single family housing has increased steadily in recent
years.
3. The City Council members desire to encourage owners and developers to
reduce the density to allow for a larger percentage of single family
residential lots within the City.
4. The terrain within the City of Eagan is conducive to single family
development.
All councilmembers voted affirmatively.
LEXINGTON HILLS ADDITION - PROJECT #478
Mayor Bea Blomquist convened the public hearing regarding sanitary sewer
improvements in Lexington Hills Addition for Project #478. Tom Colbert
introduced the project and Bob Rosene of the Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik firm
described the feasibility report for the improvements. It was noted that a
neighborhood meeting had been held and there did not appear to be opposition
to the project. Joe Krisnik, an affected property owner, was present and
thanked the staff and consulting engineer, together with the Council, for
proceeding with the project. There being no objections, Egan moved, Wachter
seconded the motion to close the public hearing, to order in the project and
authorize the preparation of the detailed plans and specifications. All
members voted yes.

easement right-of-way vacation was convened by the Mayor. Tom Colbert

PART 150 - MAC LAND USE STUDY STRATEGIES
Tom Hedges described the material that had been distributed to the City
Council members regarding proposed corrective strategies under the Part 150
Study relating to the Twin Cities International Airport air noise issue. John
Hohenstein, administrative assistant, was present and answered questions of
the City Council members. Mayor Blomquist noted that the Eagan Comp Guide and
the Part 150 study footprints differ and therefore, it is uncertain as to
exactly what precise area would be covered in the proposed corrective
strategies. No endorsement of any particular strategy was being requested,
but it was noted that any suggestions could affect the entire area around the
airport.
Councilman Ellison indicated that he could not support any of the first
four proposals, but there were other operational issues within the Part 150
Study that he would favor. Councilman Egan was opposed to the avigational
easements, which would be a burden to future owners, in his estimation. Mayor
Blomquist noted that the councilmembers generally lean toward favoring
soundproofing of private residences and suggested that emphasis be placed on
schools and public buildings. In addition, she strongly recommended
maintaining the 105 degree heading.
Mr. Hedges noted that a series of resolutions have been adopted by the
City Council regarding noise corrective issues in recent years. The source of
potential funding would be from the Federal government, according to Mr.
Hohenstein. Councilman Ellison was opposed to the study of alternates 1 and 2
including acquiring developed property and a purchase assurance program.
Blomquist moved, Egan seconded the motion as follows:
1. The Council is on record requesting a study of the soundproofing,
particularly as it relates to public buildings.
2. The 105 degree heading should be adhered to by all aircraft coming
into or leaving the airport.
3. The study should be continued as to the other proposals, but special
emphasis shall be placed upon the soundproofing of private residences.
4. Further, the request should be made for information as to funding for
any of the alternates.
All voted in favor except Ellison who voted no.

The resolution authorizing an amendment to the $12,580,000.00 multi-family
rental housing revenue bonds for Royal Oak Circle apartment project was next

understood that the sale of the bonds took place on December 3, 1985 with the
proceeds to be escrowed and invested to secure payment of the principal and
the interest on the bonds pending a conversion. A resolution amending the

1986. According to Mr. Colbert, the final plat had not been recorded with
Dakota County and an extension was given by the City Council at its meeting on
November 6, to allow the applicant to record the plat by November 18, 1986.
The plat has not been recorded and staff recommended revocation of the final
plat approval for Fairway Hills 1st Addition. Egan moved, Ellison seconded
the motion to revoke the final plat approval and to notify the developer. It
was understood that there would be no specific action regarding the
preliminary plat approval. It was also mentioned that a model home had been

TRAPP COURT - CUL-DE-SAC - EAGANDALE OFFICE PARK 3RD ADDITION
When the City Council approved the preliminary plat application for
Eagandale Office Park 3rd Addition, a condition was imposed requiring that the
cul-de-sac for Trapp Court be eliminated. In July 1986, Opus requested
reconsideration and at that time the council indicated that it would not
reconsider without a review of alternate configurations. Two alternates to
the original proposed cul-de-sac were submitted and Mr. Colbert reviewed the
alternates with the City Council.
Bob Worthington of Opus Corporation was present and again requested
approval for public cul-de-sac and indicated that the developer and owners
will enter into a perpetual maintenance agreement. Mr. Worthington stated the
cul-de-sac was constructed to fulfill the agreement with Sperry after
questions by Councilman Smith, and if it were a private cul-de-sac, it would
require cross-access easements.

Council Minutes 1
November 18, 1986
There was discussion concerning public liability for the right-of-way if
the cul-de-sac would be privately maintained, and City Attorney Paul Hauge
suggested an agreement be entered into with all affected parties who would be
bound in perpetuity for holding the City harmless from any claims that may
result from maintenance of the street. It was also explained that it was not
necessary to have the public right-of-way for the cul-de-sac because each of
the three lots had access to a public street.
Councilman Smith moved, Councilman Egan seconded the motion to approve the
acceptance of Trapp Court as a public right-of-way upon the condition that an
agreement be entered into, acceptable to the City, providing for snow and ice
maintenance of the cul-de-sac, by the affected owners, according to standards
imposed by the City from time to time, and further, that the agreement provide
that the owners and developer will hold the City harmless from any and all
claims that may arise regarding the snow and ice control maintenance performed
by the developer and owners; further, that condition number 1 of the
preliminary plat approval dated December 3, 1985 be removed. Those in favor
were Smith, Blomquist and Egan; those against were Wachter and Ellison.
Councilman Wachter voted no because the Council had already designated the
cul-de-sac as a private right-of-way.
SUN CLIFF 3RD ADDITION - BLOCK 1 - VARIANCE
An application was submitted by Advance Developers for a variance of 5
feet from the 30 foot front yard setback requirement for Lots 3, 4, and 5,

were present. In addition, a number of neighboring property owners were
present and had concerns and generally opposed the rezoning, although they had
no opposition to the use. Ray Engstrom of Living Word Lutheran Church was

the installation of the trunk storm sewer for Wilderness Ponds Addition, and
also for the Blueberry Circle area. He noted, however, that the bids were
split into two parts and that the low bid for each of the two projects was not
the same bidder. He further mentioned that Encon Utilities was willing to
proceed with Project #481 independently, and Lake Area Utilities would proceed
with Project #448R as a low bidder independently. Several of the affected
parties were present and Mr. Colbert indicated that only four of the seven
agreements had been received as directed by the City Council.
Rod Hardy of Sienna Corporation was present and stated that he represented
all three builders and the developer. He also indicated that he understood
any savings would be passed on to the affected residents. The owner of the
parcel on the west side of Blueberry Lane appeared and was opposed because of
the manhole cover and the drainage pipes that would exit onto his lot. Mr.
Colbert noted that the pipe would be in the boulevard adjacent to the lot and
proposed rock and shrubs to hide the visual nature of the pipe at ground
level. The staff was not aware of the need to cross Blueberry lane until
about two weeks prior to the meeting. The objecting owner preferred to have
the curb reconstructed with shrubs and rock on his lot.
Dan Osborn, an affected owner, was present and reviewed the October 6,
1983 report of James Hill and stated that he would contribute $1,000.00 toward
the project. Ed Dannecker of Lot 15 who was present, stated he would

would be added to the project, with the understanding that written agreements

boulevard work will be determined with suggested comments from the affected
property owner. All voted in favor except Wachter who voted no.

Commission recommended a list of priority acquisitions including four
different configurations as colored on the drawing submitted to the Council

CITY TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS STUDY
Director of Public Works Tom Colbert stated that as part of the 1987
budget preparation process, the Public Works Director requested financial
authorization to prepare a comprehensive thoroughfare transportation plan for
the City. Several large development proposals have been processed through the
City which require immediate and detailed traffic impact analysis and the time
frame associated with preparing the Scope of Services proposed, would not be
sufficient to perform the detailed traffic impact analysis for the
approximately six projects that are now pending before the City.
There was discussion as to how to bill the costs of the study to
developer/owners and the City.Councilmembers clearly indicated that the cost
of such studies would be billed -through the Escrow Agreement method on a
selected basis. After discussion, Smith moved, Wachter seconded the motion to
direct the staff to engage a traffic consultant to conduct a detailed traffic
impact study, particularly for the I-35E Diffley Center, Oak Hill Farms,
Stafford Place, Rosemount District #196 High School site, Pond View Project
and Northwest Aerospace Training Facility, with the understanding that the

Council and the Park and Rec. Commission had toured the property and there was
discussion concerning the appointment of a Committee to explore methods of
financing, including private contributions, and further to study the
feasibility of such an acquisition. Mayor Blomquist recommended endorsement
of the proposal to formulate a committee of the arts to investigate the
feasibility of the acquisition of the property, including the funding, and the
