Aye: 5 Nay: 0 PROJECT 785, CITY-WIDE TRAIL & SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS City Administrator Hedges provided an overview on this item. Director of Public Works Colbert and City Engineer John Gorder gave staff reports. Mayor Awada opened the public hearing to anyone wishing to speak. Ralph One, 1478 Violet Lane presented a petition to the Council signed by 26 residents. Mr. Otte stated that many of the members of the Villas of Violet Lane Homeowners Association are concerned about plans to construct a walking path on the west side of Federal Drive. He went on to state they would be more favorable to a path on the opposite side of Federal Drive, noting the following advantages: . From Yankee Doodle to Asbury, the east side of Federal Drive and the south side of Blackhawk Hills Drive is level with the curb. The west side of Federal Drive has terrain which rises above the curb level and many areas (particularly south of Violet Lane) are bermed, with landscaping and fencing in close proximity to the proposed path. 00202 Eagan City Council Meeting Minutes July 5, 2000 Page 5 . While a sidewalk exists on the north side of Blackhawk Hills Drive and the west side of Federal Drive, these are relatively short stretches, in total, less than .2 miles. The east side of Federal Drive has more than .4 mile of sidewalks extending from the Yankee Square driveway near Yankee Doodle Road to south of Violet Lane. . Their property has an irrigation system that waters the boulevard and was not designed around a path. The only irrigation systems on Federal Drive were planned around existing sidewalks. Mr. Otte stated that the group has concern that construction will degrade the appearance of their community and damage the irrigation system. Wally Berg, 1480 Violet Lane, submitted pictures of the area showing the difference between the condition of landscaping adjacent to the homemvners' property and the trail on the east side of Federal. Michael McTeague, 1486 Violet Lane, asked if there had been a traffic count on the trail to see if there is a suffident amount of traffic to justify moving the trail. He also expressed concern over losing the noise barrier from the berm if the irrigation system is rebuilt. He further discussed safety issues relating to the pedestrian crosswalk stating that there needs to be signage and a reduced speed limit. Kevin Laubach, 1550 Lakeview Curve, stated if the trail is placed adjacent to his property, it would make it economically unfeasible to access that portion of his property should he dedde to subdivide the one acre lot in the future. Becky Seiberlich, 3892 North Ridge Drive, stated she did not understand why the Northview Park Road trail is being installed that does not go anywhere, while there is a perfectly good sidewalk on the other side of the street. Public Works Director Colbert explained that the trail would lead into future developments and provide a connection to North Ridge Drive Community Trail. Gary Green, 1406 Blackhawk Drive, stated he would like to see the trail on the east side of Federal Drive, as the west side is currently well maintained. He also stated he disagreed with a crosswalk due to safety reasons. Public Works Director Colbert explained that there will be no disturbance to the berm on the west side, since lighting is already installed, and the area is more properly designed for a trail. Kurt Wessel, 3590 Wescott Hills Drive, stated he did not agree with the proposed trail on the Wescott Hills Drive project and would like to consult with someone from the City at an on-site meeting. Mayor Awada stated she would be happy to meet with Mr. Wessel. Ronnie Rahn, Carriage Hills Golf Course, expressed his concern over increased vandalism at the golf course. He stated kids come from the trails onto the golf course property and have caused problems for golfers as well as damage to the property. Mayor Awada stated she felt if homes were built along the golf course it would eliminate much of the vandalism as residents would police their own property. Carol Hesse, 3536 Wescott Hills Drive, expressed concern over safety issues with regard to the heavy traffic and speed in the area. She stated that putting the trail adjacent to the golf course increases the potential for acddents (i.e. flying golf balls). She was concerned over who would be liable in the event of such an acddent. Councilmember Masin questioned the letter from the Wessels regarding the fees paid for the vacation of the land for the proposed trailway. Public Works Director Colbert explained that a public hearing was not held but the issue had been discussed on December 20,1999 and it was determined that it would not be in the best interest of the City to vacate. Councilmember Blomquist stated she had a Eagan City Council J"vleeting Minutes July 5, 2000 Page 6 00203 copy of the minutes of the December 20, 1999 meeting and read the motion. She felt like the issue had been hurried through and not enough time had been spent on it. She stated something has to be done to slow down vandalism in the area. Councilmember Carlson addressed the fees that were paid for the proposed vacation. She felt the fees should be reimbursed to the residents. The motion made was for a trailway, not a vacation. She addressed the issue of vandalism on the golf course and how to keep people on the trail and off the golf course and other private property. Mayor Awada suggested that the Wescott Hills Trail section of the proposed project be removed for further review with the understanding that it is not the end of the trail issue but just a continuation. Councilmember Blomquist suggested that the issue be reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission as well as the Police Department. Erica Vinge, 3544 Wescott Hil)s Drive, expressed concern over the danger of the proposed trail leading into a cul-de-sac. She stated there had already been many close calls involving cars and pedestrians. Mayor Awada said she felt that this is one of the issues that Public Works and the Police Department need to review. Councilmember Carlson stated she felt the Park Commission should be brought in and a solution be developed. She stated she had received numerous phone calls regarding this area. Wally Berg expressed concern over the cut into the berm along Federal Drive and asked if the cost of the irrigation system would be paid for by the City. Public Works Director Colbert explained that the permit for the installation of an irrigation system in public right-of-way requires the owner to relocate for public improvement just like any other utility. John Rosengren, 1476 Violet Lane, asked to see the photographs of the townhouses on Federal Drive. He made a comparison of the upkeep of the two sides of the street, stating that the residential side was kept up better. He stated that the City should incur the costs of maintenance. Public Works Director Colbert stated that the boulevards adjacent to personal property are usually maintained better by the individual homeowner than the City is able to do on a City-wide basis. Kevin Laubach stated that the Council should consider how many homes are being affected by the installation of the trail. He also stated that safety issues should be considered. Moreen McTeague, 1486 Violet Lane, stated she is a homemaker and, being home most of the day, she has noticed an average of only ten people that walk the trail during the daytime. Michael McTeague stated he had never before heard a City offidal state in a public forum that private property owners maintained the grounds around the trails. He stated he felt it is the City's responsibility to take care of the property around the trails. There being no further public comment, Mayor Awada closed the public hearing. Councilmember Carlson stated that in the future such projects should be separated or at least given separate project numbers. She went on to state that maybe the issue of the trails in areas that are not fully developed should be continued to sometime in the future. Other Counci1members agreed. Mayor Awada stated that she wanted it understood that in the future there will be a trail and a possible overpass that will be constructed in that area. Eagan City Council Meeting Minutes July 5, 2000 Page 7 00204 Coundlmember Carlson moved, Coundlmember Bakken seconded a motion to approve the project without the Federal Drive Project and the Wescott Woodlands project for separate consideration.

Aye: 5 Nay: 0 Q~P~V$~~~$ PROJECT 768, NORTHWOOD PARKWAY (ROW ACQUISITIONjLAND TRANSFER AGREEMENT) City Administrator Hedges provided an overview on this item. Director of Public Works Colbert gave a staff report. Dennis Trooien, attorney for Larry Wenzel, introduced Dick Krumm, planner and architect for Mr. Wenzel, Denise Christensen, Leasing Agent and Property Manager for Glen Ponds Apartments. Mr. Trooien made the disclaimer that this discussion is for settlement purposes and rights are reserved and settlement discussions are not to be used as evidence against each other. He further stated that Mr. Wenzel would like to resolve the issue without condemnation. He referred to a letter he had submitted to Public Works Director Colbert dated May 25, 2000, stating that all issues have been resolved except for number eight which addresses compensation to Mr. Wenzel. He stated that if the City had proceeded by condemning the Ring Road, Mr. Wenzel would have suffered severance damages and damages for the impacts of this Ring Road taking. In addition, damages would have occurred with respect to his existing apartment buildings, landscaping, buffering, and other losses to his property, which would not have been incurred had Mr. Wenzel been able to develop without the Ring Road. He went on to list additional expenses, which the Ring Road designation has caused to Mr. Wenzel. The expenses included interest rates, construction costs, legal and architectural expenses. He stated he would be willing to discuss a dollar amount which would be the "equalizer" to furnish just compensation to Mr. Wenzel. He said that as an alternative they would be willing to discuss a settlement of this amount by (1) the City also conveying MnDOT's Lots 4 and 5, Block 3, Effress Addition to Mr. Wenzel at no cost to Mr. Wenzel and (2) the waiver of any park, subdivision, and trail dedication fees in connection with the apartment project. Ms. Christensen asked when the Ring Road would be constructed. Public Works Director Colbert stated the road would be installed either fall, 2000 or early 2001 but this would not include the overpass. Ms. Christensen expressed concern regarding attracting tenants for the apartment complex at full market rates. She stated there would be an increased noise level. Eagan City Council Meeting Minutes July 5, 2000 Page 8 00205 Mayor Awada stated that she agreed with the staff recommendation because it was a win/win situation for both sides. Councilmember Bakken stated there is currently a shortage of housing in Dakota County and does not feel the close proximity of the highway and the apartment complex will affect the rental of apartments. He further stated the exposure from a major highway could be benefidal to the marketing of the apartments. . Councilmember Carlson stated that the market rate for rental property has increased and there will not be a problem given supply and demand in the area. She stated that the complex could have 30 extra apartment units ilnd they should consider the amount of revenue that would be generated. The Council discussed the scenario should the issue go to condemnation. Mayor Awada stated she feels that Mr. Wenzel is coming out ahead and that the City has negotiated this issue in good faith. She further stated it is inappropriate to bring up the issue of more compensation at this time. Councilmember Masin asked if staff had been aware of the request for increased compensation. Public Works Director Colbert stated he had forwarded a letter to Council from Mr. Wenzel last fall and there had been no dollar amount indicated. Councilmember Blomquist stated she felt there could be some damages to Mr. Wenzel and that the City has not looked at everything. Councilmember Masin stated she would prefer to negotiate the transaction Tather than go to condemnation considering how much time has already been spent trying to settle the issue. Councilmember Bakken moved, Councilmember Carlson seconded a motion to approve the terms of the purchase agreement for the exchange of City property for dedicated right of way for Project 768 (Northwood Parkway) and to incorporate approval of the first seven items in the letter from Dennis Trooien dated May 25,2000.
