EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; JULY 6, 1999 PAGE 9 00206 Councilmember Masin questioned why the plans were incomplete and also questioned why the density issues have not been addressed. Senior Planner Ridley stated that the applicant was informed of the deficiencies in the plans, but the applicant insisted on moving forward with June APC and July City Council review. Councilmember Bakken moved, Councilmember Carlson seconded a motion to open the item for public discussion. Aye: 5 Nay: 0 Dennis Trooien, attorney representing Larry Wenzel, said that the application for a Preliminary Planned Development was submitted because the applicant had not received any comment from the City in regard to their interest in the land swap with MnDOT for purposes of mapping the ring road. He acknowledged that the application was missing information, but added that the proposed density is consistent with the density of Phase I of the Glen Pond Apartment complex. In regard to the mapping, he said that the APC discussed the City acquiring property from Mr. Wenzel and compensating him for it within two years. He further said the City Council should direct staff to resolve the matter with Mr. Wenzel and that if compensation were proposed they would consider putting the application in abeyance. He requested the City Council put pressure on MnDOT in an effort to resolve the mapping within sixty days. Mayor Awada said that it seems that an incomplete application was submitted in an effort to bring the ring road issue to the forefront. She further said she was not willing to table the PD since it would not be feasible as proposed and added that the application should be denied. Councilmember Carlson stated that if a land swap occurs with MnDOT it would be necessary to submit a new plat. She said she did not want the applicant to be charged additional fees and preferred the item be tabled to allow the applicant an opportunity to resubmit the plat. City Attorney Bauer said that the City Council has 60 days to act on this application, which is set to expire on July 12. He added that the applicant has not agreed to submit a waiver to this timeframe. Mayor Awada asked if it would be necessary for the applicant to submit a new application if the land swap with MnDOT occurs. Bauer indicated that a new application would be required. Councilmember Blomquist mentioned that a land swap with MnDOT would create additional concerns with other landowners. Councilmember Masin moved, Councilmember Blomquist seconded a motion to continue the Preliminary Planned Development for an expansion of the Glen Pond Apartment complex to construct five 60-unit apartment buildings on property located east of Pilot Knob Road between Marice Drive and High Site Drive in the SW % of Section 10 to the September 7, 1999 City Council meeting. Mayor Awada stated that it was necessary for the City Council to take action on the application because the 60-day agency action deadline expires on July 12. Mr. Trooien said that the applicant would waive the 60-day agency action deadline. Councilmember Blomquist added that the application should be continued so staff and MnDOT could attempt to resolve the situation. City Attorney Bauer indicated that a waiver document should be executed and that language requiring such should be added to the motion. Councilmember Masin moved, Councilmember Blomquist seconded a motion to continue the Preliminary Planned Development for an expansion of the Glen Pond Apartment complex to construct five 60-unit apartment buildings on property located east of Pilot Knob Road between Marice Drive and High Site Drive in the SW 1/4 of Section 10 to the September 7, 1999 City Council meeting subject to the execution of an agreement waiving the 60-day agency action rule. Aye: 4 Nay: 1 (Mayor Awada opposed) EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; JULY 6, 1999 PAGE 10 0020'7 OFFICIAL MAP 669 NO.1 (NORTHWOOD P ARKW A Y) City Engineer Matthys gave a staff report. Mayor Awada stated that the only reason the official map was before the City Council was because an application had been submitted for a Preliminary Planned Development for the Glen Pond Apartment complex. Dennis Trooien, attorney representing Larry Wenzel, stated that he and Mr. Wenzel thought the PD application was sufficient and mentioned that they were unaware of the missing data until shortly before the APC meeting. He mentioned that the applicant's architect had not received much input from staff regarding the application. Senior Planner Ridley stated that staff met with the developer approximately one month prior to the APC meeting and identified the missing information. Mr. Trooien reiterated that neither he nor the applicant thought the application was deficient. Mayor Awada said that the City, MnDOT and the applicant all need to work together. She noted that MnDOT has indicated they may not be able to respond to the proposal for a land swap for three to six months. Mr. Trooien suggested that staff be directed to work with the developer and affected landowners regarding financial options. He said that a comparative analysis needs to be done in order to find the least costly option. City Administrator Hedges stated that Director of Public Works Colbert has spent exhaustive efforts on this issue in an attempt to reach a creative solution. He added that much effort has been undertaken to encourage MnDOT to address this situation and further added that many alternatives have been looked at. Mr. Trooien noted that the proposed solution with MnDOT seemed helpful but added that they have not been contacted by the City regarding the status of the proposal. City Administrator Hedges said that Director of Public Works Colbert had talked with one of the applicant's representatives approximately thirty days ago and added that inadequate communication may be occurring. He further said that a meeting with all interested parties might be necessary. Councilmember Masin suggested that staff write a letter to the Eagan legislative delegation to address the constraints the City has been dealing with regarding the ring road issue and MnDOT. Councilmember Bakken stated that the City has a fantastic staff and added that it might not be possible to get MnDOT to respond more quickly to the City's request. Councilmember Carlson said that she did not want to take any action until MnDOT has responded to the proposal for a land swap. Councilmember Blomquist concurred and added that staff should address impacts to the first apartment building. She said that the land swap is the most feasible alternative. City Engineer Matthys stated that the land swap will cause the alignment of High Site Drive to be further away from the first apartment building. Peter Beck, attorney for Lockheed Martin, stated that Lockheed Martin does not want the ring road to intrude on their property. He stated that Lockheed Martin is in agreement with the proposed alignment. The attorney representing Carl Olson stated that Mr. Olson is opposed to the vacation of Marice Drive since that would adversely impact access to his property. 00208 EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; JULY 6, 1999 PAGE 11 There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor A wada closed the public hearing.
