METROPOLITAN WASTE CONTROL COMMISSION
City Administrator Tom Hedges stated that during 1987 MWCC
upgraded the existing sanitary sewer lift station located adjacent
to Brown Tank on Trunk Highway 55. The property owner, Veronica
McClean, resisted dedication for the additional easements necessary
to accommodate the expanded lift station and access road.
Subsequently, MWCC proceeded with condemnation for the pumping
facility as well as an access road to it from Trunk Highway 55. The
access road was located on top of an existing trunk water main
easement owned by the City of Eagan.
Mr. Hedges stated there are two agreements affecting the City
of Eagan. The first is a Stipulation of the Settlement Condemnation
whereby the City of Eagan receives no compensation for acquisition
of the property incorporating the easement. The second pertains to
consent by the City of Eagan to allow Metro Waste to construct a
bituminous access drive within the utility easement.
MCCrea moved, Eagan seconded, the motion to approve a
Stipulation of Settlement for Metro Waste Control Commission
Condemnation and a Consent of Easement for an access road over City

clerk to execute all related documents. All voted in favor.

' ''age 6/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
SPEED STUDY ON BLACKHAWK ROAD
Councilmember McCrea questioned the expense of doing the
study, in particular regarding the radar. The Chief of Police
stated the Police Department does have in-house radar equipment.
Quite frequently the problem was finding time for the squads to do
the radar for the study. He further stated the Police Department
will patrol the area as much as possible during the rush hours
because of speeding in the area.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
Mr. Hedges stated there is an in-house strategic planning
exercise scheduled and the findings would be reviewed next Tuesday.
He further stated the results of the exercise would be submitted to
the Councilmembers. Mr. Hedges informed the Council he felt the
Commission did an excellent job.
HISTORY COMMITTEE
Mr. Hedges stated the History Committee would have a meeting
next week. He further stated Councilmember Wachter is a member of
the History Committee and that one of the items on the agenda would
be the old town hall. Councilmember McCrea stated she had paperwork
regarding the historical classification of the old town hall and
that at the present time, it was not classified as a historical
landmark. She stated she would give the paperwork to Mr. Wachter.
PLATTING REQUIREMENTS
City Administrator Hedges apologized to the Council for any
confusion regarding the final plats at the Special Meeting of July
12, 1988. He stated the staff is very busy. They are working on
tightening their controls and have developed a Pre-screen Committee
which consists of staff from each of the departments.
FIRE STATION NO. 4 and NO. 5
Councilmember Wachter asked Fire Chief Southern the status of
Fire Station No. 4 and if recruiting had begun. Fire Chief Southern
stated the lockers had arrived and that there was only minor
matters to be finished and, of course, the clean up. He stated
there would be an inspection of the station on July 26, 1988. He
stated the recruiting was moving at a slow pace because of the
weather conditions and vacations. He stated no notices had been
posted, however, they were interviewing all applicants on file.
He further stated that Fire Station No. 5 was progressing
along nicely. That the roof beams were to be up soon and that at
the present time the walls were being constructed.
,age 7/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
VACATE PORTION OF KENNEBEC DRIVE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY
Mayor Ellison opened the public hearing regarding the Kennebec
Drive public right-of-way. Public Works Director Colbert stated
that in response to the requests submitted by the applicant,
Richard T. Curtin, owner of Silver Bell Apartments, the Council
scheduled a public hearing to be held to vacate a portion of the
old abandoned dedicated right-of-way at Kennebec Drive. He stated
all notices had been published in the legal newspaper and sent to
all potentially affected utility companies informing them of the
public hearing. The staff had not received any objections to the
proposal.
Councilmember McCrea questioned if the developer knew he would
still need to apply for a Permit to allow the sign. Mr. Colbert
stated he would inform the applicant.
Mayor Ellison questioned why the matter had continued for so
long and asked if the City had "dropped the ball". Mr. Colbert
stated that originally the applicant wanted the sign on the public
right-of-way and that much negotiation with the developer had gone
on. He stated that staff had been in contact with the developer at
all times.
Wachter moved, McCrea seconded, the motion to close the public
hearing and approve the vacation of a portion of Kennebec Drive
public right-Of-way and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute all related documents. All voted in favor.
VACATE PORTION OF RAHN ROAD PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY
Mayor Ellison opened the next public hearing for the evening
regarding the vacation of a portion of Rahn Road public
right-of-way. Public Works Director Colbert stated that with the
approval of the Cliff Centre development and the requirement to
construct Cliff Lake Road and its intersection with Cliff Road,
additional right-of-way beyond what existed for the present Rahn
Road intersection with Rahn Road was required. With the realignment
of Rahn Road to its intersection with the new Cliff Lake Road
construction, a portion of existing Rahn Road, adjacent to Rahn
Park, was being abandoned. He further stated that as a part of the
agreement for the acquisition of the additional right-of-way from
the Federal Land property near the intersection with Cliff Road, it
was proposed to vacate a portion of Rahn Road to reconvey a portion
of Outlot B of the Cliff Lake Centre as partial offsetting
compensation for the additional right-of-way dedication from
Federal Land. He stated that by this agreement, Federal Land had
committed to providing a future park maintenance access to Rahn
Park from the internal development at a location other than the
existing Rahn Road right-of-way. To retain the street right-of-way
for Rahn Road in the vicinity adjacent Federal Land would create
Rage 8/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
traffic congestion and circulation problems at the first
intersection north of Cliff Road. The City has existing utilities
located within this Rahn Road right-of-way, and therefore, although
the public street right-of-way may be vacated, it was staff's
recommendation that utility and sidewalk easements be retained. The
vacation of this public right-of-way would then minimize any impact
on future setbacks for the development of the Federal Land
property. Mr. Colbert informed the Council that all notices had
been published in the legal newspaper and sent to all potentially
affected public utilities informing them of the public hearing.
Staff had received concerns to retain the utilities easements over
the 80 foot right-of-way to incorporate existing utilities for both
the City and private utility companies.
Councilmember Egan asked if the acreage of the two parcels
being exchanged was comparable in size. Mr. Colbert stated they
were not the same size. They were close, however, the acreage
acquired was less than the turn back.
Mayor Ellison asked if vacation of the right-of-way would
preclude the users of the park from using this area for parking.
Mr. Colbert stated he felt there was no need for overflow parking.
Councilmember Egan questioned if staff agreed that the access
through the Federal Land property was a better alternative. Mr.
Colbert stated that he felt it was a better choice, if it was
necessary.
Egan moved, McCrea seconded, the motion to close the public
hearing and approve the vacation of a portion of Rahn Road public
right-of-way and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all
related documents, subject to the utility and sidewalk easements
being retained. Gustafson, Ellison, Egan and McCrea voted in favor;
Wachter voted against.
PRELIMINARY PLAT/KINGSWOOD 2ND ADDITION
City Administrator Hedges stated that at the June 21, 1988
City Council meeting, the Kingswood Second Addition Development
Project consisting of a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment, a
rezoning and preliminary plat were considered by the City Council.
Action was taken to approve the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment
from a D-II to a D-I and the rezoning of 41.5 R-I single family
acres. Due to the uncertainty of the location for the access road
to serve a proposed community center east of Pilot Knob Road and
the proposed Kingswood 2nd Addition and proper time to allow
engineering to best evaluate a good access alignment for public
safety movement, the item was continued to the July 5 or July 12
meeting for further consideration.
Fage 9/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
Mr. Hedges stated that at the July 5, 1988 meeting, the
preliminary plat for the Kingswood 2nd Addition was continued until
the July 19 meeting to provide additional time for the City to
review the proposed development of the Civic Center property for
the proposed Community Center to determine projected future traffic
impacts on the location of the future intersection with Pilot Knob
Road. By County standards, the intersection of the Kingswood 2nd
Addition and the future Civic Center development must match. On
July 7 and 8, the architectural team of Hastings & Chivetta met
with various City Staff, Commissions and Counsel to review the
proposed site and related internal circulations.
Public Works Director Tom Colbert stated it would be a busy
intersection with the Civic Center and the development. He further
stated the property site was rugged and heavily wooded. Mr. Colbert
referred to the handout which was presented to the Council
regarding recommended conditions of preliminary plat approval. He
recommended approval of the nine conditions listed in the packet
and the six additional conditions on the handout. He stated he had
been in contact with the developer and that variances would be
needed based upon hardships.
Rollie Crawford, attorney for the developer, stated there had
been many discussions regarding the roadway alignment with the
staff. He stated that the developer was basically in agreement with
the conditions, however, he requested certain changes. Mr. Crawford
presented a handout to the Councilmembers regarding his suggested
changes to the conditions. He informed the Council the developer
would cooperate in every way possible regarding the condition
concerning the access and sanitary sewer service. He further
requested the City to assist the developer in dealing with the
County in obtaining street access to Outlot C. He requested a
change in the minimum roadway width from the required 60 feet to 50
feet and a 30 foot back to curb instead of the required 34 foot. He
further requested the City allow a credit against assessments in
the subdivision for all cost incurred in the removal and
reconstruction of the water line and roadway to the northerly
alignment. He requested the City allow flexibility in the location
in the roadway within the right-of-way to minimize the impact of
the realigned access on the existing homes and surrounding lots.
Mr. Crawford apologized to the Council for the lateness in
receiving the developer's request. He stated he had worked with the
staff regarding some of the condition changes and the time frame
did not allow them to give the information to the Council before
the meeting. He further stated staff had not had time to review his
most recent request.
Mr. Crawford further stated that staff was recommending that
Lot 11, Block 1 of Kingswood Addition should be included in the
replat of Kingswood 2nd Addition. He stated the developer did not
own this property and if it was the City's request to include this
Page 10/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
lot in the replat, the developer requested the City to incur the
cost. He stated he does not believe the amount of the cost would be
substantial. He further stated that he and the developer would work
with the Staff and the City Attorney between the preliminary plat
and the final plat approval to work out any problems.
Mr. Colbert stated he had not been able to meet with Staff
regarding Mr. Crawford's suggestions. He could, however, comment
from an engineering standpoint. He stated regarding the County
spacing guidelines he felt he could not recommend the request as it
was contradictory to past City policy. He stated that he felt the
area would have a lot of traffic and that the roads should be at
the 60 foot width with the 34 foot back of curb to back of curb
City requirements. He stated that if the developer's request for
the 50 foot width and 30 foot back of curb was approved by the
Council, it should be a variance. He stated as far as the City
giving the developer a credit on the past utilities, he felt this
was not City policy and that in the past all costs associated with
development was the developer's obligation. He further stated he
felt there was not sufficient hardship to justify the City paying
the cost of the addition of the lot to the replat.
City Attorney Sheldon stated in reference to Item 6 regarding
the access to Outlots A, B and C and Item No. 7 regarding County
approval for the street access to Pilot Knob Road, that these were
not conditions of the plat, only requests for assistance from the
City. He stated these items if approved should therefore be a
resolution from the Council. Mr. Sheldon stated the main concern,
in his opinion, was the land locked partial and that the City must
require an access to this property. Mr. Sheldon recommended
combining Outlots A and B in regard to the access question.
Mr. Colbert stated that it was anticipated that Wescott Road
would be extended. However, there is a typography problem. He
stated one possible solution was Outlots A and B being combined and
the City granting an easement from Wescott Road.
Greg Franke, engineer for the developer, stated the only
logical access was from the north. He further stated he felt there
would be no problem in combining the outlots and obtaining access
from Pilot Knob Road.
Councilmember McCrea inquired of the developer in which areas
they were willing to compromise regarding the conditions. Attorney
Crawford stated he agrees with Mr. Sheldon regarding Items 6 and 7
and the necessity of a resolution by the Council.
Mr. Frank stated the 50 foot width for the right-of-way was
necessary to preserve the trees in the area.
rage 11/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
Councilmember Egan inquired of Mr. Colbert if there would be
an access problem in the future to Outlot C. Mr. Colbert stated
there could be access from Coronation Road or Kingswood Road. Mr.
Egan stated he saw no concern then regarding the access and that he
feels the matter should be resolved before the final plat
approval. Mr. Egan stated he was concerned about the traffic
density on Coronation Road and felt the 50 foot right-of-way would
be a problem. He further stated he felt the City could not bear the
cost as recommended by the developer and felt it was inappropriate.
Mayor Ellison commended the staff, the attorneys and developer
for their efforts in working together. He further stated he felt
there were two main concerns: (1) the costs the developer requests
the City to pay; and (2) the width of the right-of-way. He stated
he felt the City could not bear the costs as it would set a
precedent. He further stated that Rocky Lane could perhaps help the
traffic congestion.
Mr. Egan stated he was concerned regarding the road width
because the City policy states collector roads must meet City
standards and that this road was a collector road. Mr. Wachter
stated he had no problem with the decrease in width of the road
right-of-way as he was in favor of saving the trees.
McCrea moved, Wachter seconded, the motion to approve the
rezoning and preliminary plat for Kingswood 2nd Addition, subject
to the following conditions:
1. These standard conditions of plat approval as adopted by
Council action on September 15, 1987 shall be complied with A-i,
B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, C-i, C-2, C-3, C-5, D-1, E-1, F-i and G-1.
2. The existing homes shall connect to City utility and change
their addresses.
3. Outlot C along the southside of the exception shall be
renamed Outlot D.
4. No commercial signage be allowed in the R-1 zoned property.
5. No density or uses shall be established on the outlot until
a specific plan has been reviewed and approved by the City Council.
6. The exception (Lot 11, Block 1, Kingswood Addition) should
be included into the replat of the Kingswood 2nd Addition.
7. The centerline alignment and street grades should match the
approved final plat grading plan for Cutter's Ridge I and II
Additions.
Page 12/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
8. If the required easements for Project 512 (Cutter's Ridge -
Storm and Sanitary Sewer) through the proposed Kingswood 2nd
Addition cannot be acquired in a timely manner, acquisition by
condemnation should be initiated in the appropriate timeframe.
9. Park dedication shall be fulfilled through a cash
dedication on per lot basis for all platted property excepting the
two existing homestead lots.
10. The grading plan shall be revised to incorporate retaining
walls as may be necessary to minimize the impact on the existing
vegetation to save significant trees.
11. Any outlot must have public street access and/or sewer
access.
12. The developer will work with City staff regarding the
realignment of the access to Pilot Knob Road.
All voted in favor.
McCrea moved, Wachter seconded, the motion to approve the
variance for a 50 foot road right-of-way and a 30 foot back to curb
requirement. No future variances for front yard set backs would be
approved. This variance is being. approved due to the hardship
regarding saving the trees along the right-of-way.
Councilmember Egan suggested there be parking restrictions
because of the variance. He stated he opposes the motion because of
the 50 foot right-of-way width.
Wachter, Ellison and McCrea voted in favor; Egan and Gustafson
voted against. See Plat File
SOLDERHOLM ADDITION
City Administrator Hedges stated that at the June 21, 1988
City Council meeting, the Solderholm Addition/Eagle Enterprises
were given consideration for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment,
rezoning and a preliminary plat. He stated the APC held a public
hearing at their meeting of May 26 and recommended approval of the
applications. He stated that at the June 21 meeting Councilmembers
discussed both the access problem to the property due to the County
road intersection of Lexington and Diffley and further that the
proposed land use is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Guide
Plan. The applications were continued at that time to the July 19,
1988 City Council meeting.
City Planner Dale Runkel stated the matter had been continued
by the Council for further review of the market study and
transportation study and the need for an overall plan. He further
rage 13/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
stated there was consideration regarding the possible potential
traffic problems. He stated the developer was asked to prepare a
plan that demonstrated how the outlot area (the area that currently
contains the Soderholm house) could be developed in the future as
well as the parcel to the north. He stated office use is the intent
for the outlot in Parcel 1, however, the parcel is not being
included in the plat. He also stated that as proposed the
development would meet all City requirements regarding the parking
and building setback requirements. Mr. Runkel further explained to
the Council the detailed plan and land use proposed. He stated the
applicant is aware of the recently adopted building exterior
ordinance requirements. All glass and brick is proposed for all
buildings.
Mr. Griswold, architect for the developer, explained to the
Council the land use and the potential future development. He
stated the development would have continuity in design and the
landscaping. He further stated the developer would work hard with
the County regarding the access problem and feels the problem can
be resolved. He stated he feels the corner of Lexington and Diffley
lends itself well to the limited business use proposal. He feels
the size of the property is too small for multiple family sites and
feels the limited business is more in character with the area. He
feels that there would be no traffic problem as the businesses
complement each other well regarding their peak times of traffic.
He stated the single family residents in the area would prefer the
LB zoning over the residential zoning.
Mayor Ellison inquired regarding the access to Diffley Road
and whether it would be a right in/right out access. Mr. Griswold
stated it was a full access now and when completed it would be a
right in and right out access. Mr. Wachter stated he felt the
County may not allow that type of access. Mr. Griswold stated they
will deal with the County regarding the access. Mayor Ellison
questioned the distance of the access from Lexington Avenue. Mr.
Griswold stated it would be 260 feet and that it would in the same
location as previously proposed for the access which would be
across from the church access. Mayor Ellison inquired of Colbert
regarding the requirements for stacking and asked if the 260 feet
would be adequate. Mr. Colbert stated he felt it would be a
potential problem and that the County would prefer internal
circulation and the deletion of the access to Diffley Road.
Councilmember Wachter stated he felt it was unfair for the
Council to consider any action on this proposal until the County
had made their recommendations.
Councilmember McCrea stated she felt that when the matter had
been continued it was for two reasons: (1) the access question
regarding what the County would allow; and (2) the need for the
review of the retail study. She stated she felt the Council was now
Page 14/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
"caught in a box" as there were no reports available and that the
City was being put in a position against the County.
Ray Connelly, representative for Solderholm, stated he spoke
with the County and the County stated they cannot take official
action on the matter until they have a preliminary plat approval to
work from. Mr. Connelly requested the Council take action on the
rezoning and also further action regarding the access to enable the
developer to take the matter to the County Plat Board.
Councilmember Wachter stated he felt the developer should ask
the County for their accepted guidelines before any Council action.
Councilmember Egan inquired of Colbert whether the County
could inform the City of a proper access at this time. Mr. Colbert
stated he felt the only policy they could suggest was the policy
regarding the internal circulation and further stated that the
County was reluctant to grant the request.
Councilmember Egan stated the retail study was not complete.
He agreed with Councilmembers McCrea and Wachter and he too was
reluctant to approve the matter without further information.
Representative from the Covenant Church stated he was
concerned regarding the proposed development's affect on the
church's access. Mr. Colbert stated there should be no problem. The
access would remain the same for the church. He stated there could
be one access from Lexington and internally there were several
choices.
Councilmember Gustafson inquired if the City owned the land
that the wells were located on. Mr. Colbert responded
affirmatively. Mr. Gustafson suggested approving the proposal
subject to the condition that the County approve the access. Mr.
Colbert stated this could be done; however, the Council would still
need to review the matter before the final plat approval.
Mr. Wachter stated he would not vote for the proposal without
further information. He stated it was not the County's decision
that it was the City's decision and that the City should not
relinquish their authority. He stated the whole matter was being
considered prematurely as the question on the water reserve site
would be known soon.
Mayor Ellison informed the developer that it was apparent the
matter would not pass at that time as there was not a majority of
the council in support. He further stated he is impressed with the
plan and does approve of the rezoning. He suggested the three
adjacent property owners should meet to discuss the water site plan.

July 19, 1988
Councilmember McCrea questioned the timeframe regarding the
need for an extension of the application regarding the preliminary
plat. Mr. Hedges stated that the Council had 120 days to act upon
the matter from the time of submission of the application. Mr.
Runkel stated he felt the time was getting close to that 120 days.
Mr. Hedges stated the developer would need to agree to and request
an extension and if this was not done the Council must either
approve or deny the matter.
Mr. Connelly the developer had no problem with an extension.
He requested the Council make a recommendation to the County for
review of the access problem.
Mr. Hedges stated the study would be in draft form next week
and the Council could have a work session in August to review the
study.
Councilmembers McCrea and Wachter both stated they had no
problems with the use of the land at this time. Their only concern
was the access problem.
The developer requested a continuance regarding the
preliminary plat. He stated his potential tenants will not stay if
there is not an access to Diffley Road. He suggested a possible
easement from the reservoir site-and the Northwestern Bell site to
eliminate their need for an access. He stated the developer could
nudge the access a little further north across from the church
driveway.
Egan moved, Wachter seconded, the motion to continue the
request for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment, a Planned
Development Amendment for the rezoning of 4.52 R-4 Acres to a LB
District, and a preliminary plat containing three lots and entitled
Solderholm Addition until the September 20, 1988 City Council
Meeting. All voted in favor.
WINE AND BEER LICENSE FOR EAGAN TAP
Mr. Hedges stated that at the July 5, 1988 City Council
Meeting a license for wine and beer for Julio de la Huerta of Eagan
Grill, Inc. was continued to the July 19 meeting. The purpose for
the continuance was a non-response by Mr. Huerta to the Police
Department's call to proceed with an investigation. He stated that
since the July 5 meeting the police had made contact with Mr.
Huerta and completed their investigation. He stated the Police
Department could find no reason to recommend denial of this
license. Mr. Huerta is purchasing the Eagan Tap at 3998 Sibley
Memorial Highway and the business name will remain the same under
his ownership.
Page 16/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING

The applicant, Mr. Huerta, was present and requested approval
of the license.
Egan moved, Gustafson seconded, the motion to approve a wine
and strong beer license for the new owner of the Eagan Tap, Mr.
Julio de la Huerta. All voted in favor.
SITE PLAN REVIEW/LONE OAK ADDITION
City Administrator Hedges stated the Planning Department had
received the Site Plan Proposal for the Lone Oak Addition which is
being marketed as The Waters development. This development is
located east of Trunk Highway 149, west of Cray Research, and south
of Northwest Airlines. He stated the signage, landscaping and
lighting plan is the most sophisticated and complete landscaping
proposal reviewed by the Planning Department for any development.
City Planner Dale Runkle stated that over the past several
months the staff has been working with the Laukka Development
Company in an effort to develop a Comprehensive Signage and
Landscape Plan for the western portion of the Lone Oak Addition. He
stated it had been a pleasure dealing with Rick Burger of the
Laukka Company, the landscape architects from Arteka and the
architect in charge of the signage, Jack Buxell. He stated the
signage plan is consistent all the way from the street signage to
the rear service doors. He stated the uniqueness of the proposal is
the free standing granite kiosk that pulls the driver off Lone Oak
Parkway into a small rest stop type area. The goal is to establish
a theme for the signage and landscaping that would ultimately
continue into the Northwest Airlines and Cray Research areas. He
stated an oversize set of plans had been previously provided for
each Councilmember.
Mr. Runkle recommended to the Council that if the Council
approved the landscape and signage site plan the matter should have
the following two conditions:
1. Place the responsibility for the maintenance of the
landscaping and the right-of-way fully on the developer, and
2. That any replacement ornamental street signs would be at
the developer's expense.
Mr. Runkle stated all signage does meet the guidelines of the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devises.
Representatives for the projects presented their overall and
grading, landscape, lighting and signage plans to the Council.

Councilmembers McCrea and Wachter both stated they felt the
presentation was very complete and very informative. Councilmember
Egan stated he has been very excited about the project.
Wachter moved, Gustafson seconded, the motion to approve the
Landscape and Signage Site Plan Review for the Lone Oak Addition,
subject to the following conditions:
1. The developer has full responsibility for the maintenance
of the landscaping in the right-of-way.
2. Any replacement of the ornamental street signs will be at
the developer's expense.
All voted in favor.
VARIANCE/SKUNBERG
City Administrator Hedges informed the Council a variance
application was received from Brian Skunberg for property located
at 4739 Ridgewind Trail. He stated Mr. Skunberg was requesting a 4
foot variance to the required 15 foot rear yard setback for the
purpose of completing an accessory building. He further stated Mr.
Skunberg was unaware of his necessity to apply for a Building
Permit from the City and, once informed by a City Inspector, was
most willing to pay the fee and process the application. Once the
Building Permit Application was processed and reviewed, it was
determined that a variance would be required from the rear yard
setback and again Mr. Skunberg was most cooperative in applying for
the variance and proceeding through the departmental review. He
stated the slab and apron were poured last fall and the framing was
done June 25, 1988. The concrete slab extends to within 3.5 to 4.0
feet from the property line and the accessory building and a dog
house rests on the slab. He stated the shed meets or exceeds all
other setback requirements. He further stated the required notices
had been sent to neighboring landowners and that there was no need
for the matter to go before the APC.
Councilmember Egan asked the applicant the intended use of the
shed. Mr. Skunberg stated it would be used to store bikes and
lawnmowers and the like. Mayor Ellison asked the applicant if the
variance was okay with the neighbors. The applicant stated he had
heard no complaints.
Larry Stark, neighboring landowner (Lot 10, Block 4), stated
he was there representing three other neighbors and himself
regarding this matter. He stated they are concerned regarding the
timberwall which the applicant has on his property and questioned
if the wall would be able to handle the additional weight of the
shed. He questioned whether the wall would collapse and requested
the City send an inspector to inspect the wall before construction.
• edge 18/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
Mr. Hedges stated it was not City policy to inspect
timberwalls. He further stated the City could not accept the
responsibility. Mr. Stark stated that without the inspection he and
his neighbors were against the approval of the variance.
Councilmember Wachter stated he felt there was a need to
review a sketch of the building before the City's approval.
Mayor Ellison suggested to the applicant that he discuss the
concerns with the neighbors. Mr. Hedges stated perhaps the
applicant could obtain an inspection by an architect for the
neighbors' review.
Egan moved, McCrea seconded, the motion to continue the
application for the 4 foot variance to the rear yard setback for
Lot 4, Block 3 Parkridge Second Addition to allow the applicant to
meet with the neighboring landowners regarding their concerns. All
voted in favor.
WAIVER OF PLAT/WILLIAM HUTTNER
Tom Hedges stated a public hearing was held by the Advisory
Planning Commission at their June 28, 1988 meeting to consider a
Waiver of Plat application to allow a conveyance of land sale
located northwest of the Sunrise Hills and Woodland Additions and
south of the Wescott Garden Lots in Section 14. He stated the APC
recommended approval of the Waiver of Plat. City Planner Runkle
stated no development would occur as a direct result of the Waiver
of Plat; however, the applicant had submitted plans requesting a
preliminary plat for a portion of the site. These plans had been
modified slightly through the design process. The existing home
near the northwest portion of the site has access onto Wescott
Hills Drive.
Councilmember Wachter referred to the APC Minutes and inquired
if the meeting between Mr. Widstrom and the developer had been set.
Mr. Runkel stated the matter had been attended to.
Brad Swenson appeared for the applicant.
Gustafson moved, Wachter seconded, the motion to approve the
Waiver of Plat for William Huttner for the conveyance of a land
sale located northwest of the Sunrise Hills and Woodland Additions
and south of the Wescott Garden Lots in Section 14. All voted in
favor. R-88.57
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT/PD/PRELIMINARY PLAT

City Administrator Hedges stated a public hearing was held by
the APC at their June 28, 1988 meeting to consider separate
sage 19/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
applications requesting a rezoning of 3.85 acres within the
Lexington South Planned Development from an R-1 to a PF District
and a Preliminary Plat for the All Saints Lutheran Church addition.
A Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment is necessary changing the
property from its present designation of D-II. The APC recommended
approval of the applications.
City Planner Runkle stated the site is located at the
southeast intersection of Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road. He
further stated the APC's only concern was regarding the landscaping
and the matter is addressed in suggested Condition No. 8.
Mayor Ellison stated there had been an erosion problem with a
house on Wescott in that area during the super storm. He asked if
this would be a concern for the church in the future. Public Works
Director Colbert stated the drainage swale could handle the
overflow.
Gustafson moved, Egan seconded, the motion to approve the
Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from the current D-II
designation. All voted in favor.
Gustafson moved, McCrea seconded, the motion to approve the
Planned Development Amendment rezoning of approximately 4 acres
zoned R-1 within the Lexington South Planned Development to a PF
(Public Facilities) District. All voted in favor.
Gustafson moved, McCrea seconded, the motion to approve a
Preliminary Plat entitled All Saints Lutheran Church, subject to
the following conditions:

Council action on September 15, 1987 shall be complied with: Al,
B1, B2, B3, Cl, C2, C4, C5, D1, El, F1 and G1.
2. Any signage over 7 feet tall shall require a conditional
use permit.
3. Revise grading plan to provide drainage swales to minimize
the potential for trapping runoff along the northerly side of the
proposed building.
4. An additional catch basin is required in the southwest
corner of the proposed parking area.
5. The development is required to construct a manhole at the
northerly terminus of the sanitary sewer line provided to serve the
site.

towards the north to a three foot level with pine trees to be
incorporated on top of the berm.
All voted in favor.
TOWN CENTRE 70 TENTH ADDITION
Mr. Hedges stated a public hearing was held by the Advisory
Planning Commission at their regular meeting on June 28, 1988 to
consider separate applications submitted by Federal Land Company
for a preliminary plat for the Town Centre 70 Tenth Addition, a
Conditional Use Permit to allow a car wash and motor fuel sales in
a CSC district and a setback variance of 20 feet for the gasoline
pump island canopy. The APC recommended denial of the applications.
The major issues for the denial was the building exterior materials
and the lack of landscaping.
Dale Runkle presented the proposed plans to the Council. He
stated the APC denied the application for the following reasons:
1. The landscape plan was not consistent with other commercial
projects in the City.
2. The building exterior was proposed as grey/brown concrete
block.
3. The canopy for the gasoline pumps required a 20 foot
setback variance along the freeway frontage and there is a Super
America in the auto mall.
Mr. Runkle stated a revised landscape plan had been prepared
that addressed the concerns expressed by the Advisory Planning
Commission. He stated the plan was well done and related nicely to
the auto mall to the immediate south. He stated the free standing
canopy would be eliminated if the Council desired and an alternate
plan would be prepared that attached to the building. He stated the
canopy was important to the applicant because they felt it helped
define the drive lane and the car drop area.
Martin Colin, Federal Land Company, stated the Mermaid
operation was a franchised operation. He stated that they have been
working with the applicants regarding the landscape plan and feel
the new proposed plan was a good plan.
Ray Berg of the Esberg is the actual developer of the car
wash. Mr. Berg stated they are ready to comply with all City
page 21/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
requirements. He said the corporation does have other Mermaid Car
Washes in the area. He further stated that a car wash uses less
water to wash a car then washing the car at home. He also said that
there is the potential to recycle with their car wash. Mr. Berg
relayed the background of his company to the Council.
Mr. Berg presented overall, landscaping and building design
plans to the Council. He stated they will increase the berming with
the landscaping. They feel the canopy is necessary as it provides a
focal point for the smooth traffic flow through the car wash. Mr.
Berg presented samples of the brick for the exterior of the
building to the Council. He further presented the freeway
visibility sketch to the Council.
Councilmember Egan inquired of Mr. Berg what materials would
be used for the canopy. Mr. Berg stated they would be the standard
materials and that it would be metal faced. He further stated there
would be down-casted lighting. Mr. Egan asked Mr. Berg to explain
the traffic flow through the car wash. Mr. Berg stated there are
three lanes for the car wash. He stated the canopy is 12 feet to
the bottom and 4 feet in height and it covers two of the lanes.
Councilmember McCrea had concerns regarding the retail sales.
Mr. Berg stated that the customers drive into the building and then
exist the car inside of the building. McCrea questioned what was
sold inside of the building. Mr. Berg stated miscellaneous auto
supplies such as mirrors and car mats. McCrea asked if customers
would come and park their cars to purchase retail items and not
receive a car wash. Mr. Berg stated they do not want retail sales
only. McCrea questioned how many parking spaces were available. Mr.
Berg stated there were 18 spaces and that there would be between 17
and 18 employees working during peak times.
McCrea asked if the water would be recycled. Mr. Berg stated
that currently the Apple Valley facility had the ability but they
are not recycling the water.
Public Works Director questioned the 30 foot entrance and the
30 foot exit lanes. He stated that this would be wider than the
five lanes on Yankee Doodle Road. He feels this is excessive and
not necessary and that the developer could scale down the width of
the entrance and exits and add more landscaping.
Mr. Berg stated the width of the entrances and exits were
necessary as there are three doors coming in and out of the car
wash facility. He state that this would help keep a smooth flow
through the car wash and that there would be no traffic congestion.
He stated they could restrict the entrance and open up the width
internally.
• L'age 22/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 19, 1988
Councilmember Egan stated he feels that there is the need for
the 30 foot entrance and exit. McCrea stated she agrees that if the
area looks congested the customers may not come into the car wash
facility. The Council discussed the entrance/exit problem in
detail. Mayor Ellison stated that the developer was sending the
problem to the City streets and that the congestion problem should
be solved internally. McCrea stated perhaps directional signs could
be installed. Mr. Berg stated they do have directional signs
showing the exit.
Mayor Ellison asked if the exterior materials meet the new
development standards. Mr. Hedges stated they did meet the standard
as it was 100% brick and glass.
Mayor Ellison asked if the canopy could be deleted and gates
or striping could be used instead. Mr. Berg stated they do have
stripes, however, the canopy helps with the traffic flow.
McCrea asked if there was a similar facility in Apple Valley.
Mr. Berg stated it is very similar except for the different
entrance location. McCrea suggested that staff check with the Apple
Valley and Burnsville staff to see if there was a traffic
congestion problem. Mr. Wachter stated he had used other Mermaid
facilities and there had not been a congestion problem.
McCrea moved, Wachter seconded, the motion to approve a
preliminary plat entitled Towns Centre 70 Tenth Addition, subject
to the following conditions:
1. These standard conditions of plat approval as adopted by
Council action on September 15, 1987 shall be complied with: Al,
Bi, B2, C2, C4, Dl, El, F1 and Gi.
2. All signage shall be subject to the one-time signage fee of
$2.50 per square foot.
3. The development is required to provide a 3 CFS storm sewer
outlet to serve the northerly adjacent proposed Outlot A.
4. There shall be landscape screening along the freeway side
of the facility to shield the canopy.
5. The building shall be constructed of brick or of a texture
suitable to the surrounding facilities developed in the area.
McCrea suggested including a condition that the staff should
review the Burnsville and Apple Valley Mermaid facilities regarding
the traffic congestion and confusion. Councilmember Egan suggested
leaving the matter to the staff's discretion. It was agreed to
exclude the condition.
• rage 23/REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Egan moved, McCrea seconded, the motion to approve a
Conditional Use Permit to allow a car wash facility and motor fuel
sales in a CSC District. All voted in favor.
Egan moved, Wachter seconded, the motion to approve a variance
for the canopy setback of 20 feet for the gasoline pump island
located on a portion of existing Outlot B, Town Centre First
Addition or proposed Outlot A.
After discussion between the Councilmembers, it was decided
there was no hardship to base the variance upon. Councilmember Egan
withdrew his motion regarding the variance.
Mr. Berg requested a consent for the grading and foundation
permit. He also requested the Town Centre 70 Tenth Addition be
placed on the next agenda for final plat approval. Mr. Hedges
stated the matter could not be put on the next Council agenda
because the developer had not met the requirements for final plat
approval. He further stated that early approval of foundation and
grading permits puts a hardship on the staff and recommended
against early approval.
McCrea stated she feels there should be no pressures put on
the staff to move one plat ahead of other plats.
RAHNCLIFF SECOND ADDITION
City Administrator Hedges stated a public hearing was held by
the Advisory Planning Commission at their regular meeting on June
28, 1988 to consider applications for the rezoning of 5.6 Limited
Business and 11.2 Roadside Business to a commercial planned
development district and a preliminary plat for the Rahncliff
Second Addition. In addition, a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment
was required. He stated the APC recommended approval of the
applications.
City Planner Runkle stated the site is located between Rahn
Road and Highway 35E along the south side of Cliff Road. He stated
the uses proposed for this development are consistent with the
existing zoning districts. The planned development zoning allows
the City the opportunity to review the overall development at this
time as opposed to individual requests on each lot. Also,
architectural landscaping and signage compatibility will be
addressed with this plat. Mr. Runkle stated the site is very flat
and highly visible from Highway 35E. Access would be primarily from
the previously constructed Rahncliff Court and to secondary drives
connecting to Rahn Road. Shared parking areas provide 832 stalls,
well above the amount required by code which is 730 to 815 stalls.
Mr. Runkle described the breakdown of each area and the proposed

use to the Council. He stated access and cross-parking easements
needed to be approved by the City.
Ray Williams presented the development plans to the Council.
Roger Grant presented the landscape plan to the Council. The
exterior design and building samples were shown to the
Councilmembers.
Councilmember Wachter inquired what happened to the hotel. Mr.
Williams stated the surveys did not show enough people in the area
and the hotels could not get financing for the project.
Mayor Ellison complimented the developer on the landscaping
and exterior design. Mr. Egan stated the landscape and exterior
design were excellent in his opinion. Mr. Egan stated there was
very significant zoning change that the Council was addressing at
the meeting and that adding retail was not allowed under the
current zoning. He stated he felt the Council needed to review the
retail study and the possible traffic problems before acting on the
matter.
Councilmember Wachter stated he agrees with Mr. Egan on the
zoning problem. Mr. Williams stated they have tried to meet the
requirements of the RB zoning but that at the present time the
developer could not get a hotel in the area. Mr. Wachter stated the
project may be premature for the area. Councilmember McCrea stated
that she had reviewed the code book on RB zoning and stated it
eliminates alot of uses and she feels the RB zoning should be
reviewed.
Councilmember McCrea stated the retail study would be
completed soon and the Council would be meeting in a workshop to
review the study.
Wachter moved, Egan seconded, the motion to continue the
Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment, a rezoning of 16.08 LB and
RBacres to a Commercial Planned Development and a preliminary plat
entitled Rahncliff Second Addition until the August 16, 1988 City
Council Meeting to allow the Council to review the retail study.
