FACTS: • The Eagan Police Department has been performing all local and state-wide background checks for all job candidates who have passed the interview process. • Recently, police staff attending training sponsored by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) related to conducting background checks. Regulations have changed and it is now required that the governing body of all jurisdictions must formally pass a resolution to approve the conducting of state-wide computerized criminal background checks on potential employees. • Nothing shall be construed to preclude the City from conducting comprehensive background investigations of applicants for City employment positions, including but not limited to accessing public data through other automated and non-automated sources and contacting references. • Nothing shall also be construed to preclude the City from periodically conducting driver's license inquiries on employees or volunteers where possession of a valid driver's license, including commercial driver's licenses, is an essential qualification of the position. The City of Eagan has a significant interest in protecting the general public in the performance of government services. There is a need to conduct computerized criminal history checks using the BCA computerized criminal history database and driver's license history inquiries on persons who are finalists for certain City positions and who are applying to volunteer in City programs providing services to children or vulnerable adults including. Agenda Information Memo February 6, 2007 Eagan City Council Meeting ➢ Certain City employees and volunteers work independently with and provide public services to children and/or vulnerable adults.

In order to minimize risk that the public trust will be violated, computerized criminal history inquires of those individuals who are finalists to be employed in such positions are necessary. ➢ Other City employees enter private homes of City residents on a regular basis to perform necessary public services. Computerized criminal history inquires on persons who are finalist for such positions are deemed necessary to minimize the risk that the personal safety of residents in their homes will be violated. ➢ Certain City employees operate heavy equipment, street maintenance equipment and other City-owned motorized vehicles, on public rights-of-way. In order to minimize the loss of public property and the loss of life in serious traffic accidents, computerized criminal history and driver's license history inquiries of finalists for such positions are appropriate. • In accordance with state policy of encouraging the rehabilitation of criminal offenders, the computerized criminal history and driver's license history prescribed herein shall not be an automatic bar of public employment but rather will be used in assessing the rehabilitation of the finalist in accordance with MN Statutes, Sections 364.01 to 364.10. This resolution cannot guarantee that certain groups or individuals will be protected from the criminal acts of employees or volunteers; rather, its intent is to minimize certain risks in the performance of government services to the general public. Candidates who are applying for employment in any position or who are applying for volunteer opportunities that provide services to children or vulnerable adults shall be notified that computerized history and/or driver's license history inquiries will be conducted prior to their hiring or volunteering.

REQUEST ADVANCE FROM MUNICIPAL STATE AID ROAD PROGRAM ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve a resolution requesting the Minnesota Department of Transportation to advance to the City of Eagan $6.2 million of future apportionments from the Municipal State Aid (MSA) Construction account. FACTS: • The Municipal State Aid (MSA) program distributes a portion of the State's gas tax to each Minnesota city (over 5,000 population). These funds are limited to the maintenance and construction of only those streets designated as a State Aid roadway. Only 20% of the city's local street mileage is eligible for this designation. • The apportionment of the gas tax to eligible cities is based on a formula of population and construction needs. The City of Eagan's apportionment for 2007 is approximately $1.65 million. Anticipated State Aid eligible construction costs for 2007 are approximately $7.9 million, including $7.2 million for the reconstruction of TH 149. • The MSA program allows cities to advance funds in excess of their annual apportionment, with no interest costs, for use in the construction of streets in the State Aid roadway system. The advance can be in an amount of not more than five year's annual allocations. • This resolution requests the Commissioner of Transportation to advance the City of Eagan a total of $6.2 million from five years of future State Aid Construction Account payments. With the advance, the City will not receive its annual apportionments for the next five years. • Although the City has requested $6.2 million in advanced funds, Mn/DOT indicates that only $2.0 million in advanced funds is currently available for the City of Eagan. However, this amount will likely be increased when account balances are reviewed at the end of 2007. The exact amount of advanced funds that will be paid to the City in 2007 is unknown at this time. ISSUES: • This resolution does not increase the net transportation funding available to the City of Eagan. Rather, it is an interest free loan made to the City against future funding allocations. A comprehensive transportation funding mechanism, as discussed at the February 6, 2007 City Council meeting, is still critical for meeting the current and future needs of the City's transportation infrastructure. ATTACHMENTS: • Municipal State Aid Advance Funding Resolution, pages 25 *16 RESOLUTION NO TO ADVANCE FUNDING FROM THE MUNICPAL STATE AID STREET CONSTRUCTION FUND WHEREAS, the City of Eagan is planning to implement Municipal State Aid Street Project(s) in 2007 which will require State Aid funds in excess of those available in its State Aid Construction Account, and WHEREAS, said City is prepared to proceed with the construction of said project(s) through the use of advance encumbrances from the general State Aid Construction Account to supplement the available funds in their State Aid Construction Account, and WHEREAS, repayment of the funds so advanced will be made in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes 162.14, Subdivision 6 and Minnesota Rules, Chapter 8820, 1500, Subpart 10. NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Resolved: That the Commissioner of Transportation be and is hereby requested to approve this advance for financing approved Municipal State Aid Street Project(s) of the City of Eagan in an amount up to $6,200,000 in accordance with Minnesota Rules 8820.1500, Subparagraph 10b. I hereby authorize repayments from subsequent accruals to the Municipal State Aid Street Constriction Account of said City in accordance with the schedule herein indicated: Repayment from entire fixture year allocations until fully repaid. X Repayment from future year allocations in amounts listed below until fully repaid (maximum 5-year repayment). I HEREBY CERTIFY that the above is a true and correct copy of a resolution presented to and adopted by the City of Eagan, County of Dakota, State of Minnesota, at a duly authorized City Council Meeting held in the City of Eagan, Minnesota, on the 20th day of February, 2007, as disclosed by the records of said City on file and of record in the office.

PROJECT 778, TH 149 UPGRADE STREET UPGRADE & TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve an Easement Agreement for Project 778 (TH 149 Upgrade - Street Upgrade and Trail Improvements) with the owner of Parcels No. 10-45900-051-00 and 10-45900-052-00 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. FACTS: • The City of Eagan is the lead agency on the upgrade of Trunk Highway (TH) 149 to a four-lane divided highway between TH 55 and Albano Trail in Inver Grove Heights. The proposed project includes an urban curb & gutter section north of Yankee Doodle Road and rural ditch section to the south, a new traffic signal at the intersection of Wescott Road, and a trail along the east side, north of Wescott Road. • The upgrade of TH 149 requires the acquisition of numerous permanent and temporary easements from the adjacent properties. • Appraisals were obtained for all required easements. The estimated value of the permanent and temporary easements for the properties initially indicated a value of about $42,550. An offer was accordingly forwarded to the owner of the properties. • The property owner incurred legal fees for review of the associated appraisal and easement documents. These legal fees were not included in the offer. Therefore, the property owner requested additional compensation for these expenses, which he is entitled to a minimum of $1,500 per property appraisal, by law. • The property owner has also requested additional compensation to address impacts to landscaping, fencing and a sign. The remainder of the difference in opinion on the valuation is directly related to the property values assigned by the appraisers. • In order to settle and avoid additional costs in attorney fees and commissioner's hearings, the appraiser has suggested a revised offer of $57,150 as an appropriate alternative. The property owner has consented to this offer. • An agreement between the City of Eagan and the owner of Parcels 10-45900-051-00 and 10-45900-052-00, Lot 5 Loren Place, has been prepared providing for the acquisition cost for the necessary easements. • Engineering staff and the City Attorney's office have reviewed the agreement and found it to be in order for favorable Council action. ISSUES: If the City Council would desire to discuss this item, it would be appropriate to direct any discussion to a Closed Session. 2(.o Agenda Information Memo February 20, 2007 Eagan City Council Meeting P. SNOW AND ICE CONTROL POLICY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Amend the Snow and Ice Control Policy regarding property owner obligations for mailbox repair/replacement FACTS: • As the City continues to mature, many originally installed mailboxes are becoming deteriorated and stressed due to weather and age. Also, many mailboxes were initially installed without a permit (as an installation in public right of way) and do not meet city design standards for proper setback and height to minimize conflict with the City's winter maintenance activities that sometimes inadvertently results in structure damage to the mailbox. • Public Works staff discussed these concerns with the City Council at a Special Workshop meeting on Dec. 11, 2006. With the Council's concurrence and direction from that meeting, staff will be implementing the following: o Revise the Standard Design Detail Plate to more clearly state the design requirements and publicize the information via various communication vehicles (i.e. Newsletters, City web, flyers, etc). o Create an inventory of out-of-compliance mailboxes and notify property owners of new standards, policy revisions and personal responsibilities/liabilities beginning in May,2007. o Implement a new program providing property owners an opportunity to have substandard mailboxes upgraded to meet City requirements at their cost as part of the City's neighborhood revitalization assessable street resurfacing program. • In addition to these administrative measures, the City's formal Snow and Ice Control Policy (adopted on 12-20-99) needs to be amended to reflect the following change/addition: o Section IV, Art. A, Sec B "The City replaces mailboxes that are damaged, broken or knocked down only if there was a direct hit by a City plow or City vehicle provided the mailbox was installed and maintained to City and postal specifications. Those specifications require mailboxes be located at least 48" above the street level with the forward bottom corner located behind the back of the curb....Residents/owners notified by the City via U.S. Mail about mailboxes that do not meet City specifications are responsible and liable to repair/replace/maintain them in the event they are damaged as a result of the City's Snow and Ice Control operations until such time that the mailbox has been brought into compliance with City Standards. If a mailbox is deemed to have been in compliance with City standards and is damaged by a direct hit by a City plow or City vehicle as a result of a City Snow and ice Control operation, the property owner may either choose to have the City replace the damaged mailbox with a City standard mailbox installation, or be reimbursed by the Cityfor owner initiated repair/replacement at a cost not to exceed $50 for each support post/structure, $25 for each mailbox receptacle and $25 for each periodical/paper receptacles. 27 Agenda Information Memo February 20, 2007 Eagan City Council Meeting SNOW AND ICE CONTROL POLICY (cont.)

The proposed abandonment of a portion of sanitary sewer was later determined to be unnecessary and not feasible and, therefore, not performed. In the feasibility report, it was proposed to assess 100% of the street upgrade and signage improvements on Meadowview Road, up to the rate identified in the 2006 Fee Schedule, in accordance with the City Special Assessment Policy. However, due to the significant variances in individual lot frontage, and the recognizable similarity in benefits to each property based on their existing (or potential) driveway connections, the final assessment roll is based on "driveway equivalent" rather than Fee Schedule rates of actual frontage. It was also proposed to assess 100% of the overlay and signage improvements on Alexander Road, and 100% of the concrete entrance improvements on both Meadowview and Alexander Roads, in accordance with the City Special Assessment Policy. The improvements were completed under Contract 06-02. The following information was used in the preparation of the assessment roll for Project 928. 1. PROJECT COST The construction cost includes the amount of $338,510.92 paid to the contractors for the construction of the improvements. Traffic and street signage was installed at a cost of $1,637.26. Other costs including engineering, design, contract management, inspections, financing, legal, bonding, administration, and other totaling $113,196.72 were incurred resulting in an improvement and project cost of $451,707.64. The detail of these other costs is provided on Schedule I. These other costs are allocated to the improvements constructed in order to determine the cost of each improvement and the assessment rate.

IMPROVEMENT AND ASSESSMENT RATES 1. Meadowview Road - Eight commercial/ industrial properties within the project area have direct driveway access to Meadowview. The upgrade improvement assessment rate for these properties is proposed based on the number of existing and potential driveway accesses to Meadowview Road. There are eleven existing and potential driveway accesses onto this street improvement. The assessment rate is calculated as follows: Total Meadowview Road Improvement Cost = $256,770.29 Assessment Rate = $256,770.29/ 11 Driveways = $23,242.75/ Driveway 2. Alexander Road - Six commercial/ industrial properties within the project area have direct driveway access to Alexander. These properties are proposed to be assessed based on their front footage adjacent to Alexander Road. The improvement and assessment rate for these properties is computed as follows: Mill & Overlay/ Sign Costs = $33,352.01 Total Frontage = 2,117 Front Feet Total Improvement Cost Rate = $33,552.01/ 2,117 = $15.851 F.F. 3. Concrete Entrance Aprons - Eight driveways to commercial/ industrial properties were replaced with new concrete entrance aprons. The improvement and assessment rate per square yard for concrete entrance aprons were computed as follows: Concrete Entrance Apron Costs = $89,871.40/ 1,296 S.Y. = $69.35/ S.Y. D. ASSESSMENT TERMS The assessments are proposed for a term of 15 years. The interest rate is 5.50% per annum on the unpaid balance. 4 ~'59 III.

Also in attendance were City Administrator Tom Hedges, Public Works Director Tom Colbert, Director of Administrative Services Gene VanOverbeke, City Engineer Russ Matthys, Assistant City Engineer John Gorder and property owner Mike Leitner (Parcel 10-00800-010-04) join at 4:55pm. Councilmembers Fields and Bakken called the meeting to order and adopted the agenda as presented. PROJECT 928, FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL (MEADOWVIEW & ALEXANDER) Director Colbert provided background information on the project, the proposed Final Assessment Roll (FAR), the comments/objections raised by the 3 property owners who spoke at the public hearing held on Dec. 4, 2006 and the Council's direction to the Public Works Committee for further review. He went on to explain that there were 2 basic policy questions to be addressed in addition to the increase in costs and notification process. Policy Issues 1. Methodology of assessment allocation The City's Special Assessment Policy provides for a variety of methods to allocate assessable costs to benefiting property owners (i.e. front foot, parcel size/area, per lot, etc). The original Feasibility Report's Preliminary Assessment Roll and the proposed Final Assessment Roll (FAR) were based on a front foot method, with some artificial footage assigned to various lots in an effort to achieve some equity between parcels. After complaints were received from a property owner about excessive assessable footage vs. actual frontage, consultation was sought from the City Attorney's office. It was determined to be more equitable (and defensible if challenged through possible appeals) to allocate the assessment on a "driveway connection" equivalent. Subsequently, a new FAR was prepared, sent to affected property owners and presented at the Dec. 4 public hearing. Public Works Committee Recommendation. After reviewing the various methodologies and the irregularity of the size and shapes of assessable properties, the Committee concurred with the revised "driveway connection" method. (Mr. Leitner also concurred with this recommendation.) 4 4 -7 2. Allocation of costs - Assessments vs. City Funds The current Special Assessment policy states that all costs associated with upgrading substandard local streets to current city standards should be assessed 100% to the benefiting property owners. Meadowview Rd was a gravel street upgraded to a bituminous surface (9 ton industrial capacity) with concrete curb & gutter, storm sewers and concrete entrance aprons. The first proposed FAR erroneously limited the assessments to an estimated predetermined rate as stated in the City's Fee Schedule. This resulted in a reduced special assessment (less than Policy) and the City financing -$56,525 more from the City's Major Street Fund to cover this shortfall. When the FAR was corrected for the assessment methodology, the assessment cost allocation was also corrected, resulting in an increase in the overall assessments to be allocated to the benefiting properties. Public Works Committee Recommendation. After reviewing the assessable costs and the City's Assessment Policy, the Committee concurred that this local street project had no larger community benefits than any other industrial street and should be assessed according to the Policy (i.e. 100% vs. Fee Schedule limits). Mr. Leitner still expressed his dissatisfaction with the increase and proposed final assessment. Cost increase and Notification process Director Colbert explained how the cost of the project increased significantly from the estimate contained in the pre-design feasibility report due to under estimating the quantities required for excavation, grading and subgrade correction necessary to upgrade a rural road to an urban industrial street. Mr. Leitner explained the hardship of budgeting for an anticipated lesser cost and then having to finance an assessment that was more than twice the original estimate. In was noted that the assessment is already proposed to be spread over the maximum 15 years to help with annual payments. It was also noted that, while extremely rare and unusual, significant cost overruns can happen and mortgage companies routinely escrow 2 -2'/2 times a pending assessment with a sale of property. Public Works Committee Recommendation. After reviewing the project's design, cost estimating and notification process, the Committee recommended that the City provide stronger emphasis and clearer notification that the Feasibility Report estimate is subject to change based on final design and bid prices and that pending assessments should be updated with property notification if significant increases occur during the design and/or bidding process. The meeting adjourned at 5:25pm. Notes prepared by Tom Colbert. Agenda Information Memo February 20, 2007 Eagan City Council VI. OLD BUSINESS A.

City Planner Ridley gave a staff report. Howard Paster, Paster Enterprises, discussed the history of Paster Enterprises and the proposed retail development. Ken Hempkist discussed the landscape design of the proposed site plan. Jack Andahl discussed the architectural design and Vern Swing discussed traffic issues. A representative of the Gramercy Co-Operative spoke in favor of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment, stating the retail development would be an asset to the area. Members of the Perron family, owners of the subject property, and their attorney, requested the Council approve the amendment, stating there has been no interested buyers for the land with the current zoning designation. One resident of the Gramercy Co-Op and a letter received on May 17, 2005 opposed the proposed retail plans. Councilmembers, staff and the City Attorney held a discussion which included an upcoming community survey, the need for additional retail businesses in the City, and the inclusion of adjacent property in the proposed plan. Councilmembers also spoke about the need to identify anchor tenants and a way to ensure the end product would be as unique and exciting as the applicant portrayed when he explained the different types of features including architecture, pedestrian connections, tenant mix, abundance of landscaping, etc. It was suggested by the City Attorney that the applicant request this item be continued and bring additional information back before the Council for further review.

City of Eau([ ,52- Agenda Information Memo February 20, 2007 Eagan City Council Meeting NEW BUSINESS A. REZONING - CITY OF EAGAN ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To recommend approval (or direct Findings for denial) of a Rezoning of 2.3 acres from Transitional to R-3 Residential Townhouse for Lot 9, Block 1, Letendre Addition No. 3, located at 3206 Sibley Memorial Highway (Highway 13) in the SW 1/4 of Section 9. REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: Majority of Council Members Present FACTS: ➢ On December 19, 2006, the City Council directed staff to initiate a rezoning of the subject site. ➢ The subject site was guided Medium Density residential (MD) with the 2000 Comprehensive Plan Update. In order to allow the use on the property at that time to remain as a conforming use and to achieve the required consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Map, the City subsequently rezoned the property to Transitional (T). ➢ The proposed rezoning appears consistent with existing and anticipated land uses in the area and the Comprehensive Plan designation of Medium Density. Future redevelopment will proceed through the subdivision and/or building permit process and will have to be consistent with the performance standards of the R-3 Zoning District and noise attenuation requirements. ➢ There is no development proposed at this time and the use of the property for a blacktopping operation/equipment storage, provided it is consistent with the current Conditional Use Permit(s), can continue indefinitely. ➢ The Advisory Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on January 23, 2007 and is recommending approval of the rezoning.

Ridley REQUEST: Rezoning LOCATION: Lot 9, Block 1, Letendre Addition No. 3 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Medium Density (MD) ZONING: Transitional (T) SUMMARY OF REQUEST The City of Eagan is requesting approval of a Rezoning from Transitional to R-3, Residential Townhouse for a 2.3 acre parcel (Lot 9, Block 1, Letendre Addition No. 3) located on the east side of Sibley Memorial Highway (Highway 13) just north of Letendre Street in the SW 1/4 of Section 9. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subdivision 5 states, in part: 1. The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the boundaries of any district or changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. 2. The Council shall not rezone any land or area in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to this chapter without first having referred it to the planning commission for its consideration and recommendation. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The Dakota County Assessor's records indicate that the principal building on the subject site was constructed in 1935 and functioned for many years as a country store. In 1966, the Eagan Town Board approved a CUP for a gasoline service station. Country Standard operated for the next 16 years before being sold and operated as Country Rod & Worm until it closed in 1989. The site sat idle until John and Penny Johnson purchased the property in 1994 and began operating 55 Planning Report - 3206 Sibley Memorial Highway Rezoning January 23, 2007 Page 2 Richfield Sod & Blacktop. Between 1989 and 1994 the building became quite dilapidated and the City received numerous complaints mainly associated with loitering and illegal dumping of furniture, appliances and other assorted refuse. The subject site was guided Medium Density residential (MD) with the 2000 Comprehensive Plan Update; however, in order to allow the use on the property at that time (Richfield Blacktop) to remain as a conforming use and to maintain the required consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Map, the City subsequently rezoned the property to Transitional (T). While the site has some existing active Conditional Use Permits for outdoor storage of blacktopping vehicles and equipment, the current owner of the property has recently closed the business and put the property on the market for sale; however, the site is currently being leased to another blacktop company. The City Attorney advised staff that due to Richfield Blacktop ending its operation on the site, the City should now rezone the property to R-3, Residential Townhouse in keeping with the ultimate use determined with the last Comprehensive Plan Update. At their regular meeting of December 19, 2006, the City Council directed staff to initiate the rezoning process. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site contains a principal building constructed out of concrete block and three out-buildings that were single-stall garages brought to the site. The site also contains some significant topography and some vegetation primarily along the eastern and southeastern portions of the site. Access to the site is provided directly to Highway 13 on the north end of the site and a second access is provided, via a frontage road, to Letendre Street to the south. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The site is surrounded by property zoned and/or developed with R-1, R-3 and R-4 residential uses; as such, the rezoning to R-3 appears compatible with surrounding uses in the general vicinity. There is no development proposal at this time and the use of the property for a blacktopping operation/equipment storage, provided it is consistent with the current Conditional Use Permit(s), can continue indefinitely. Comprehensive Guide Plan - As mentioned previously, the Guide Plan designation for this site was changed from General Business to Medium Density with the 2000 Update. Airport Noise Considerations - The City of Eagan considers airport noise as a factor in its Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. Aviation is considered a regional system and is included in 56a Planning Report - 3206 Sibley Memorial Highway Rezoning January 23, 2007 Page 3 the Metropolitan Council's 2030 regional Transportation Policy Plan. As part of this plan, the 1996 Aviation Policy Plan remains in effect and will continue to anticipate the impacts from the operations of the MSP International airport at its current location. As an appendix to its 2030 Transportation Policy Plan, the Metropolitan Council has adopted new land use compatibility guidelines which incorporate the FAR Part 150 2007 noise contours and noise exposure map for MSP International Airport. A refinement of these guidelines may be found in the March 2006 Metropolitan Council's Builder's Guide, including additional land use compatibility and noise attenuation within the applied Noise Buffer Zone. The subject site intersects the applied Noise Buffer Zone. Future single entry residential would be considered "Provisional" within this zone, meaning that, if allowed, it must meet certain structural performance standards to be acceptable according to MS 473.192 (Metropolitan Area Aircraft Noise Attenuation Act). In particular, the building plans, materials and construction should be such that they will insure an interior sound level of 45 dBA (Land Use Compatibility Guidelines, Table 4-Structural Performance Standards) as compared with a noise level of 59 DNL (based on the inside boundary of the noise zone). This would require an outdoor to indoor noise level reduction of at least 19 dBA (DNL level minus required dBA level). SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed rezoning is consistent with existing and anticipated land uses and the Comprehensive Plan designation of Medium Density. Future redevelopment will proceed through the building permit process and will have to be consistent with the performance standards of the R-3 Zoning District and noise attenuation requirements. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval or denial of a Rezoning of 2.3 acres from Transitional to R-3 Residential Townhouse for Lot 9, Block 1, Letendre Addition No. 3, located on the east side of Sibley Memorial Highway (Highway 13) just north of Letendre Street in the SW '/4 of Section 9. 5'~ Eagan Boundary Location Ma Right-of-way Parcel Area Park Area - Building Footprint i 40 s ~ ♦ to z l ~ . 4 I t l w A i ■ ■ 3 ♦ ! 1 ■ 1 .

NORTHEAST EAGAN REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PREDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR DART/ATLAS REDEVELOPMENT CONCEPT PLAN ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve a Predevelopment Agreement with Atlas of Minnesota regarding the potential redevelopment of property in the Northeast Eagan Redevelopment District on the south side of Hwy 55 and authorize appraisals of third party properties within the concept plan boundaries. FACTS: • At its workshop meeting of January 9, 2007, the EDA and City Council received a presentation regarding the Atlas of Minnesota concept plan for the redevelopment of property on the south side of Hwy 55 in the Northeast Eagan Redevelopment District. • At its meeting of January 16, 2007, the EDA and Council authorized the negotiation of a Predevelopment Agreement with Atlas to define the terms and conditions of the City's further consideration of the potential project. • In particular, the following terms were directed to be addressed in the Agreement: • That a retail project will only be considered if it encompasses the Pro-Stop, McKee/Cheney, Pepsi/Contract Beverages and Budget Host Motel properties, in order for there to be a significant retail presence in addition to the proposed big-box retail anchor. • That the developer provides information relative to its market analysis to support its conclusions regarding the viability and sustainability of a retail development at this location. Further that a consultant hired by the City reviews and verifies that analysis and provides an independent opinion in its regard. • That the developer provides analysis of the differential traffic impacts of the proposed development concept and an industrial development of a comparable scale on the property. • That the analysis of the project pro forma is able to confirm the reasonableness of the financial assumptions, the potential for a financing gap that would justify a but-for finding for public financing assistance and the TIF revenue capacity of the proposed development. (05 Agenda Memo Page 2 Eagan Economic Development Authority Meeting Old Business Item 1 February 20, 2007 • That Atlas as the owner-developer commits owner equity in the property as a source of funding in the project pro forma. • That the finish materials used in the proposed project meet or exceed the City's materials standards and that its architectural treatments complement those in the business park developments in the remainder of the TIF district. • That the use of eminent domain for site assembly be considered as a last resort. • It was acknowledged at the workshop and regular meeting that if the retail project is found not to be feasible, financially or otherwise, the City would work with the developer to identify a redevelopment plan that would conform to the current Industrial Comprehensive Guide and Zoning designations or the Business Park Guide and Zoning classification to encourage uses more consistent with those on the north side of Hwy 55. • The agreement has been prepared by the City Attorney's office and executed by Atlas. It is in order for EDA and Council consideration at this time.

The City and Redeveloper shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Parties." WHEREAS, Redeveloper owns (or has an interest in) a portion of the property located in the Northeast Eagan area bounded by Highway 55, Lexington and Highway 149 (the "Redevelopment Property") as generally depicted on Exhibit "A;" and WHEREAS, Redeveloper has approached the City to determine whether it is beneficial to have commercial uses upon the Redevelopment Property; and WHEREAS, the City is willing to consider such uses under the terms outlined in the excerpt from the January 16, 2007 EDA minutes attached hereto as Exhibit "B", provided that the Redeveloper submits an escrow deposit to cover all costs to review the proposal. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual covenants and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: BASIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS The following is a list of the teens and conditions under which the City will analyze Redeveloper request to have commercial uses upon the Redevelopment Property, including the responsibility and roles of the respective participants regarding the proposed redevelopment of the Redevelopment Property. 1 . REDEVELOPMENT PROPERTY. The properties proposed to be redeveloped are the properties depicted in Exhibit "A" and more fully described in the legal descriptions attached hereto as Exhibit "C" ("the Site"). The exact dimensions and square footage of the Site shall be determined by survey. The Parties agree that the Site may be changed to include other lands or exclude certain lands at the mutual agreement of the Parties. 2. UNDERTAKING AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS. In consideration of the time, effort and expenses to be incurred by the City in pursuing the undertakings set forth herein and in further consideration of the amount of $20,000.00 paid by Redeveloper to the City (the "Escrow Deposit), the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the City hereby agrees that for the tern of this Agreement it will not: (i) provide or enter into an agreement for provision of financial assistance to any third party in connection with any proposed development within the Site; and (ii) condemn or 72 agree to proceed with the condemnation of any property within the Site to assist or facilitate development within such area by a third party. During such period the Redeveloper shall have the exclusive right to make a specific proposal and negotiate the terms of a Development Agreement for the Redevelopment Property. Said exclusive rights shall continue, unless earlier terminated as provided herein, for a period of twelve (12) months from the date hereof, or until such later date as the Parties may mutually agree. Such determination shall be made at the sole discretion of the City and shall not be subject to challenge by the Redeveloper. The City has no obligation hereunder to enter into any Redevelopment Agreement in any form and the Redeveloper acknowledges that the City has not made any commitments in that regard. 3. THE PROJECT. The Project will consist of the redevelopment of the Site and is proposed to include commercial retail uses. Building use and design may be limited in order to accommodate traffic impact within the Site. Building design will be consistent with design standards adopted by the City as may be modified from time to time. The Project will also be subject to ordinary land use and development application review processes, as noted in Section 7. below, and approval of the Preliminary Redevelopment Agreement does not presume the outcome of such reviews. Approval of the Preliminary Redevelopment Agreement does not constitute receipt of an application under Minnesota Statutes. 4. ANALYSIS FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE. Although the City is not presently making any commitment whatsoever to provide a specific type, level or amount of public assistance that may be available for the Site, upon submission of the Deposit referred to in paragraph 2 above, the City will work with the Redeveloper to determine if public assistance is available for the Project. The City intends to retain the services of Faegre & Benson LLP, Ehlers & Associates, Inc. and Severson, Sheldon, Dougherty & Molenda, P.A. (collectively referred to as the "Consultants") upon the execution of this Agreement. Consultants are being retained to assist with legal matters pertaining to the Project. Ehlers & Associates, Inc. is being retained to assist the City in the technical matters such as project management, financial feasibility, certification and sizing, tax increment calculations, "but-for" analysis, and other factors pertaining to any claim for economic assistance. The City will reimburse itself from the Escrow Deposit for all costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with all costs incurred by the Consultants. 5. Examples of public assistance that may be available in connection with the redevelopment include the following: a. Site Assembly. The City will consider acquisition of portions of the Site based upon terms and conditions acceptable to the City which terns and conditions will be contained in the Development Agreement. Acquisition may be through negotiated purchase, or condemnation or a combination. Acquisition by the City shall be considered only after the Redeveloper has 73 demonstrated good faith efforts to purchase the property, and these efforts have been unsuccessful and only after the Redeveloper has provided a financial guaranty to the City for any and all costs associated with the acquisition. b. Tax Increment Financing. Without in any way binding the City to any particular type, form or amount of TIF subsidy, the City will consider in good faith using a tax increment financing to support the Project; and agrees to give due consideration to any such request. C. Grants. The City will, upon request of the Redeveloper, consider in good faith applying for any and all available grants, including, but not limited to, DTED environmental remediation grants, and any other grants as may be available to pursue the redevelopment of the Site. 6. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated prior to its expiration by the City as to all or a portion of the Redevelopment Property upon the glving of written notice to the Redeveloper that the Redeveloper is not diligently pursuing the redevelopment of the portions of the Redevelopment Property. The Redeveloper shall have a reasonable time, but in no event less than 30 days to affect a cure of such default, or to demonstrate that it is diligently pursuing such cure. The City may also terminate this agreement for the failure of the Redeveloper to make any payment due in accordance with Paragraph 4 above. 7. LEGISLATIVE JUDGMENT. The Redeveloper understands that many of the actions which may be necessary for the Project and may be contemplated by a Redevelopment Agreement involves matters of the discretion by the City Council of the City, and in some instances, its legislative judgment. Such actions may only be made following established procedures, and the City cannot and does not agree, in advance, to any specific decision in such matters. 8. NOTICES.
