Eagan City Council Meeting Minutes

00280
actions are currently being taken and stated that a proposal will be presented to the City Council sometime
the first part of November.
Lisa Germond, 4070 Amethyst Lane, presented a petition signed by 621 residents asking the City
to improve the storm sewer system. Several residents addressed the City Council on the storm sewer issues
impacting the Cedar Grove area.
Mayor A wada stated that a complete analysis of the system is currently being conducted.
City Administrator Hedges asked Dakota County Commissioner Patrice Bataglia to speak
regarding the reevaluation of the property tax valuations on homes that were damaged by the flood. Ms.
Bataglia stated she had been in contact with the County Assessor's office and plans are being made for re-
assessment of properties impacted by the flood at the end of the year and then again into next year if
necessary. She stated there will be abatements for the period of time that residents are without their homes
due to the flood damage.
Council member Masin stated that neighborhood meetings should be scheduled as soon as the City
has complete reports.
Roger Martin, 4435 Oak Chase Road, described the situation at his residence the morning of the
storm. He stated he had constructed a berm in front of his house to prevent the water from coming into his
house. He explained that he had requested assistance from FEMA for the $7,500 that he spent on the berm
but was told by FEMA that because he had no actual damage to his home, he is not eligible for assistance.
He stated that it took four weeks to pump the water from his property and that he expects several large oak
trees on his property to die within the next two years. He estimated that over the next couple of years he
will spend $30,000 to $40,000 to remove the dead trees. He stated that he would like information as to
what plans the City has to assist with these problems. Mayor Awada stated that everyone would be notified
as soon as the analysis of the situation is completed.
Councilmember Blomquist stated that a definite date should be set for making plans for recovery
and to meet with residents. Public Works Director Colbert stated that a basic report should be ready by the
1 SI of November I SI. Councilmember Masin asked why the analysis is taking so long. Mr. Colbert stated
that it takes time to survey all the affected areas, identifying the degree of problems in each area and
determining what part of the system failed. Councilmember Masin asked if more people should be hired to
assist with the process. Mr. Colbert stated he did not think that would be necessary. Council member
Blomquist stated that some neighborhoods are talking of hiring their own engineering firms and that the
City should be there working with them.
Mark Shetky, Amethyst Lane, stated that his house was inundated with sanitary sewer water and
that he continues to have major problems. He asked how the sanitary sewer system could back up into his
home. Public Works Director Colbert explained how the sanitary sewer system became flooded during the
storm.
Brian Turnquist, Oak Pond Circle, stated that he does not feel the City could possibly have a
system that would handle a storm such as the one in July. He further stated that houses should not be
allowed in the low land areas due to the possibility of the type of problems many residents are
experiencing.

Mayor Awada moved, Councilmember Carlson seconded a motion to continue this project to a
non-specific date.
Mayor Awada stated that moving the project to a non-specific date would allow time for input
from the Central Park Site Design Committee. She further stated that there are others issues that need to be
refined and then the matter should be sent back to the Site Committee before it is brought before Council.
Councilmember Carlson agreed. Councilmember Blomquist asked City Administrator Hedges to provide a
breakdown on how much of the City's contribution would be coming from the bond referendum.
Councilmember Blomquist further stated that she would abstain from voting on this matter due to her
employment with Northwest Airlines.
Mayor Awada opened the meeting to the public for comment.
Reid Hanson, attorney representing members of the Perron family, stated the family feels the
project as presently planned is of no benefit to their property and is premature without a development plan
for surrounding properties. He also stated that should the City decide to build a street running south from
the Eagan Park to Yankee Doodle, the location of the street and access from the Perron property should be
reconsidered.
Mary Pineur, one of the owners of the Perron family farm, expressed concern over the proposed
assessments for the Perron property in comparison to other area properties. Mayor A wada stated that the
project was originally discussed when there was an option by Duke Weeks to purchase and develop the
Perron property along with their land as a single plat, and that the assessment would be reevaluated since
that option has expired.
Mayor Awada stated this is yet another reason this issue should be continued.
A vote was taken on the motion to continue. Aye: 4 Nay: 0 Blomquist abstained.

Wenzel's plat, a land swap with the City was part of the conditions for moving ahead with the development

October 3.2000

00285
of the property. With this land swap not occurring, Mr. Wenzel would have to redesign his plat to not
include the City property he proposed to use. Councilmember Carlson expressed she did not feel this was
fair to Mr. Wenzel since his plat had previously received approval. Councilmember Blomquist stated she
felt it was a waste of the City's time to start the entire process over again and that issues should be worked
out between the City and Mr. Wenzel.
Councilmember Carlson withdrew her second to the motion to map the Northwood Parkway.
Mayor Awada stated Mr. Wenzel could bring in a new proposal that does not include the City's
property.
Mayor Awada asked for a second to her motion. There being no second, she withdrew the motion
to map Northwood Parkway.
Councilmember Blomquist stated she felt the Council should come together and stop hurting
people. Mayor Awada stated that until last week the City had a deal with Mr. Wenzel and it had fallen
apart.
Councilmember Masin stated she felt Mr. Wenzel had tried to negotiate with the City and that the
City is making it difficult for Mr. Wenzel to develop his property.
Councilmember Carlson stated that she felt there is too much history for a decision to be made at
this meeting. She stated that Mr. Wenzel had stated at the last meeting that he had an undevelopable piece
of property. She had requested that staff validate that. She stated she had discussed the issue with staff and
was told nothing is holding up Mr. Wenzel's development but tonight she is being told that Northwood
Parkway is holding up the project.
Council member Bakken stated that Mr. Wenzel could petition for the project at the time he is
ready to develop.
Council member Carlson stated that rather than map the property, let Mr. Wenzel petition for the
project. She stated she did not want to shut any doors on Mr. Wenzel.

assessment on her family's property be deferred without interest until the services are needed. She stated
the family has no plans to develop the property. Mayor Awada stated the assessment could be deferred but
not without interest.

Improvements) and authorize its certification to Dakota County for collection with the Thorpe and other
similar properties being deferred for sewer and water if an agreement is entered into by November 15.
