damage occurring to the area land and vegetation. Mayor Egan opened the public hearing to anyone
wishing to speak.
Jim Simonet, applicant, said that he feels the house will fit well in the proposed location and it
will also be nice to keep the structure in the City for historical purposes. Councilmember Blomquist
asked about the need to break out the windows in the house. Mr. Simonet explained that the second floor
windows do not meet fire the code requirements. Councilmember Blomquist asked how this will affect
the historical value of the house. Councilmember Wachter said it will be partially destroyed.
Councilmember Masin asked if the City Council has the authority to grant an exemption in order to retain

requirements. Councilmember Blomquist further said she would like to see the architectural integrity of
the building maintained, including the porch and the windows.

house as long as it is moved in via the field. She added that she would like to see the veranda put back on
the front of the house.
Senior Planner Ridley indicated that these concerns will be taken into consideration before the

Mayor Egan opened the public hearing to anyone wishing to speak. There being no one wishing
to speak, he turned the discussion back to the Council. He said that this was an area the City considered

Engineer Gorder provided further information regarding this project.

Bea Blomquist, 4504 Oak Chase Road, stated that it was believed that the Oak Chase development
was developed under the direction of the City's consulting engineers at the time according to City
standards. She added that the residents of Oak Chase have paid a lot in taxes.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Egan turned the discussion back to the Council.
Councilmember Masin referenced the design information presented in the handouts and
questioned who did the work at the time. Director of Public Works Colbert explained that the original
developer was contacted and he then provided the developer's recollection of the situation. Further
discussion occurred regarding the lack of City records and maintenance of the streets.
Councilmember Awada stated that it is clear the project needs to be done. She noted that the
value and cost of the assessment is typically examined at the time of the final assessment hearing. She
said the City Council and the residents can work together to determine the assessment amount.
Councilmember Wachter moved, Councilmember A wada seconded a motion to close the public
hearing and approve Project 725 (Oak Chase Addition - Street Improvements), excluding Oak Chase
Way. Aye: 4 Nay: 1 (Councilmember Blomquist abstained)
Councilmember Wachter stated that if the bids received are too high the Council may choose to
turn them down. Mayor Egan said that this is the latest of several street improvement projects
undertaken in the past six to seven years and the City has worked with the residents to keep the
appraised amounts as low as possible. He added that he has come to the conclusion that there is
something unique to this subdivision. He further added that when streets have not been constructed to
City standards the situation must be carefully examined to determine if the residents received the value of
the general taxes they have paid. He noted that he will carefully review the bids and will seriously
consider the possibility of greater City participation. He stated that there seems to be sufficient
justification for deviation from the standard City assessment policy.
Director of Public Works Colbert commented that this neighborhood group has been very
committed to the improvement and responsible through the informational meetings held by the City and
he indicated that staff is committed to working with them.
V ARIANCE TO THE BUILDING SETBACK
FOR THE FIRE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
City Administrator Hedges provided an overview on this item. Senior Planner Ridley gave a
staff report.
Mayor Egan opened the public hearing to anyone wishing to speak.
Jim Horne, developer of the Kingswood Additions, compared their earlier proposal for an office
building with the proposed Fire Administration building. He indicated that the Council did not approve
their proposal because they felt the site should be developed as residential. He stated that the new Fire
Administration building does not meet the setback requirements and he added that the spruce trees will
not screen the building from the residential area. He said that he would hope the City would meet its
own standards and deny the application.
Councilmember Masin stated that the proposed building is much more improved and attractive
than what is currently on the site. Mayor Egan said that the Council is trying to save the taxpayers money
by putting the building on a site it already owns. Mr. Horne commented that the present structure is
more in keeping with the residential character of the neighborhood. He stated that the proposed building
is too large for this limited site. Mayor Egan noted that every use which will occur at the new facility is
already occurring at the present facility. He added that the City is trying to upgrade the quality of the
EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; DECEMBER 16, 1997

00441
building. Councilmember Wachter stated that the City has always strived to keep ambulance service in
the center of the City. He further stated that the location of the Fire Administration building on this site is
advantageous to the developer in many ways. He noted that since the land is available the City should
use it for the new building instead of purchasing more land.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Egan turned the discussion back to the Council.
Councilmember Awada said she has a problem with the two-story nature of the building because
it adds to the cost. She further said a one-story building would be more appropriate. She stated that this
proposed facility is being squeezed on this site. She commented that the land could be sold to purchase
another site. She indicated she would be voting against this item. Councilmember Wachter stated that
the size of the building will serve to accommodate future use.
Councilmember Masin moved, Councilmember Wachter seconded a motion to close the public
hearing and approve a Variance of twenty-six feet for the building setback from the west property line for
the proposed fire administration building to be located at 3795 Pilot Knob Road.
Councilmember Blomquist stated that originally the City Council had intended to install cable
equipment that would service the building and now the cable funds are not being expended for that
purpose but rather are being used for the construction of the building. She questioned if the cost should
be paid out of the Community Investment fund instead of expending cable fees if the cable equipment is
not going to be there.
Councilmember Awada stated that if the training space were constructed under ground then the
building would only need to be one-story and would not require a variance. She further stated that by
granting this variance the City Council will be going against the design standards that everyone else is
held to. Mayor Egan said that the building is designed for future use.
A vote was taken on the motion. Aye: 3 Nay: 2 (Councilmembers Awada and Blomquist
opposed)
OLD BUSINESS
PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION & VARIANCE (PINETREE PASS)
City Administrator Hedges provided an overview on this item. Director of Parks and Recreation
Vraa explained the recommendation made by the APrC at their last meeting on December 15. He also
apologized for a statement made by Landscape Architect/Park Planner Lilly that was included in a staff
memorandum regarding one of the developer's plans. He discussed three plans that had been developed
and the most recent submission made by the developer. He then reviewed the concerns of the APrC for
plan number 2 and possible ways to mitigate those concerns. He said that the preferred alternative of the
APrC was plan number 2 and they approved this plan by a 5 - 3 vote. He added that Terry Forbord of
Lundgren Bros. Construction presented a revised layout plan in response to the APrC's concerns. He
stated that there are still some concerns with regard to the grades, but he indicated those concerns have
been discussed with the engineer who feels they can make the necessary changes. He further stated that
the proposed well location is now located in the open space. Director of Public Works Colbert stated this
was an acceptable location for the well.
Vraa noted the ballfield location and parking lot interior to the park which would make it more
accessible to the soccer field and to the baseball field. He continued noting the trail which proceeds to
Thom~s Lane between homes requiring grading or retaining walls to accommodate an accessible grade of
up to 5%. He noted that this plan would probably mean that on-street parking would occur by the
residents on Thomas Lane.

CounciImember Masin inquired about the playground area and the proximity to Cliff Road. Vraa
stated that there is sufficient distance, but he added that a fence would have to be installed in the outfield.
He explained that with the placement of the playground in this location there is a natural topographic
barrier to Cliff Road. Councilmember Blomquist also asked if the majority of the trees will remain. Vraa
stated that the majority will remain and those trees in poor condition will be removed.
Terry Forbord, representing Lundgren Bros. Construction, thanked staff and the City
Administrator for the time and effort they spent in coming up with a plan that Lundgren is also pleased
with. He indicated that alternative 3 or 4 is preferred by them.
Councilmember Awada commented on the small frontages of the lots on the new plan. Senior
Planner Ridley stated that the lot width standard needs to be met at the 30 foot setback.
Director of Public Works Colbert stated that the plat as approved with the conceptual park layout
may contain some deviations from City Code standards and he questioned if the City Council was
granting any variances. Councilmember Awada referenced her previous comments and stated that the
City Council was not granting any variances to performance standards.
In response to a question, Director of Parks and Recreation Vraa noted that although there may be
minor adjustments made in the park plan as shown for grades, he felt it was appropriate for the Council
to approve this park plan as part of the subdivision approval so that the neighborhood and new residents
of this subdivision understand the relationship between the homes and various park uses.
Councilmember Awada moved, Councilmember Wachter seconded a motion to approve a
preliminary subdivision (Pinetree Pass) for 127 lots and four outlots located on approximately 72 acres,

PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - JON PAUL HERBST (CAIN ADDITION)
City Administrator Hedges provided an overview on this item. Senior Planner Ridley gave a
staff report. He noted that a letter was received following the public hearing from a neighbor opposed to
the subdivision of the property.
Mayor Egan stated that the proposed subdivision is small and is located in an area of larger lots.
He said that this subdivision consists of two lots on less than two-thirds of an acre. He added that if
everyone who owns .6 acres requested two lots, technically they would be circumventing the City's
ordinance. He asked the City Attorney if this request meets the letter of the City Code, Comprehensive
Guide and City ordinances.
City Attorney Sheldon stated that each subdivision has to meet the zoning and comprehensive
guide plan requirements. Mayor Egan said that this proposal does not meet the 0-3 units per acre because
two lots are on less than two-thirds of an acre and technically this subdivision is more dense. He further
said he is concerned about establishing this precedent.
Carol Hills, 2880 Sibley Hills Drive, stated that all homes in this area are set way back from Sibley
Hills Drive. She added that if Mr. Herbst is allowed to subdivide the lot the house will sit in front of
every house on the street.. She questioned the elevation and whether the drainage could affect her
property .
Jon Paul Herbst, applicant, stated that this lot could be accessed from Skyline Drive or Sibley
Hills Drive. He said he has agreed to plant shrubs and which will screen the property.
Councilmember Awada asked if the access could be limited to Skyline Drive. City Attorney
Sheldon indicated that the City Council could designate that a safety/welfare problem exists and require
access restriction onto Sibley Hills Drive.
Councilmember Masin said this will change how the whole area looks. Councilmember Wachter
stated that he did not feel the subdivision should be allowed. Mayor Egan commented that if the City
Council approves this request it will be setting an adverse precedent.
Mr. Herbst said that the house is more characteristic of the neighborhood along Skyline Drive
versus the neighborhood along Sibley Hills Drive.
EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES; DECEMBER 16,1997
PAGE 14
00447
Further discussion occurred regarding the potential locations and orientation for the house.
Mayor Egan stated that this would be like putting a second house in someone's front yard and he again
indicated he is concerned about the precedent this will set. He added that this request violates the spirit
and letter of the City Code and the Comprehensive Guide Plan by exceeding 0-3 units per acre, the
effective result of this would be to have a setback much closer to Skyline Drive than the other houses
surrounding it and it would be incompatible with the surrounding area.
Councilmember Wachter moved, Mayor Egan seconded a motion to deny a Preliminary
Subdivision (Cain Addition) for 2 lots located on approximately .6 acres, west of Sibley Hills Drive, north
of Skyline Drive, and east of Rustic Hills Drive in the NE 1/4 of Section 33 and directed the preparation of
findings for denial for the January 6,1998 City Council meeting. Aye: 5 Nay: 0

Emmett Erpelding, General Partner-Holiday Inn Express & Suites, indicated that they need
additional parking for the park and fly operation. He explained the proposed operation and said he
thinks it will be a great complement to the two hotels. He stated that only hotel guests would be able to
park their cars in the park and fly lot and be shuttled to the airport. Mayor Egan commented that the two
hotels have 24-hour security.
Councilmember Wachter moved, Councilmember Awada seconded a motion to approve a

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT & PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION
CENTRES GROUP EAGAN (PARK CENTER SIXTH ADDITION)
City Administrator Hedges provided an overview on this item. Senior Planner Ridley gave a
staff report.
Kaare Birkland, partner in Centres Group, provided background on why this site was chosen and
explained that it was a good mix with the other retail in the area. He said that two major concerns have
been raised with regard to traffic and parking. He further explained that the owners of Regal Cinema
want to have sufficient parking on site. He added that the parking ratio of 1 space for each 4 seats is
sufficient. He noted that turnover at the cinema will be staggered.
John Payton, Westwood Professional Group, discussed the site plan and design configurations,
Jack Amdahl, KKE Architects, discussed the building materials, and Mr. Birkland discussed the interior of
the building and noted that the 60 foot marquis is important for their facility.
Michael Supina, 1656 Sherwood Way, said this use is too dense for this site and traffic is a
concern. He added that the proposal does not meet the parking ratio. He further added that a smaller
theater would better suit the neighborhood.
Martin Colon, property owner, stated that the original Planned Development allowed 85,000
square feet of retail. He said this building will only be 65,000 square feet. He noted that the 4:1 parking
ratio has been proven to adequately meet the parking needs at the Mann Theater in Town Centre. He
further noted that this is an ideal use for this area. He stated that the peak usage is not in conflict with
other peak traffic times. He agreed that the developer should get a written agreement with the Dakota
County HRA to lease or purchase the neighboring land for additional parking. He commented that this
use will help out the retail and will serve to revitalize the area.
Councilmember Awada stated that she voted against the Mann Theater located at Town Centre
because of the configuration of the parking. She noted that this cinema will have plenty of parking and
will be in the correct location. She said the other issue is with the height of the marquis.
Mr. Birkland said they would be willing to minimize the size of the sign area if they are allowed
to construct a 60 foot marquis.
Mayor Egan stated that he feels this use will revitalize the area. He indicated that he did not have
a problem with the proposed parking for the site.
Councilmember Masin noted that the City Code requires a 3:1 parking ratio. She stated that it is
important that the extra 80 parking spaces be provided. Senior Planner Ridley explained that there is a
condition of approval which requires the developer to purchase or lease the HRA property for additional
parking.p
Councilmember Awada moved, Councilmember Wachter seconded a motion to approve a

lOUNDTABLE
City Administrator Hedges referenced a letter submitted by the Chamber of Commerce
indicating they would be willing to host an informational forum for the business community regarding
the adult use ordinance.
Councilmember Wachter commented on new signal lights that he became aware of at the NLC
Conference. He said the red light bulb only draws 15 watts of energy and the City of Philadelphia
recently saved a large amount of money. He also commented that rent is received on all electric poles
located in the City of Philadelphia. He stated that he would like the City of Eagan to check into this
further. He noted that he would like to know who holds the money that is collected for fiscal disparities
and who gets the interest money and the City Administrator was directed to check into this matter.
Councilmember Awada stated that an open house will be held at her company in Eagan
December 19.
Councilmember Masin commented that at the Burnsville City Council meetings the Mayor sits at
the end of the dais. She said the reason for this seating arrangement is so that the Mayor can see the rest
of the City Council. Mayor Egan stated that he does not feel this seating arrangement works well.
Councilmember Masin added that it would be nice to have a list of activities and organizations City
Councilmember and staff are involved with.
Councilmember Blomquist commented on the census and said that the City could conduct one in
partnership with the Census Bureau. She stated that it is important that the City retain the best
information available to help qualify for certain funding or programs. She said it is important to inform
the public that a census will be conducted. She mentioned that she attended an interesting work session
at the NLC Conference on the economic value of an airport to a city. She stated that the people of Oak
Chase 6th Addition raised a concern with regard to the minutes of the informational meeting. She said
that statements 4 and 18 in the minutes seem to contradict themselves. She added that problems with the
structure of Oak Chase Way have been detected and she said the residents are concerned that this street
has not had any maintenance and are questioning what can be done to help extend the life expectancy of
the road.
Director of Public Works Colbert said he was not sure why the residents feel Oak Chase Way is in
poor condition. He stated that the minutes reflect a question that was addressed by the residents
assuming the street was in poor condition. He further stated that the pavement evaluation indicated the
road is in good condition. He added that staff will check the maintenance history and re-evaluate the
condition of the road. He asked for clarification if the City Council intended to delete Oak Chase Way
from Project 725. Councilmembers concurred that they intended for Oak Chase Way to be deleted.
Councilmember Blomquist requested that Director of Public Works Colbert get the information to her as
soon as possible and a letter be sent to the residents on Oak Chase Way explaining the situation.
