OLD BUSINESS YANKEE DOODLE ROAD CORRIDOR / ACCESS MANAGEMENT STUDY PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES City Administrator Hedges introduced this item regarding Yankee Doodle Road Corridor and Access Management Study which was initially discussed by Council on December 19, 2006 and continued at subsequent meetings to allow staff more time for additional meetings with concerned parties and to allow the County's Physical Development Committee to consider the study and its impacts. City Engineer Matthys briefly discussed the study and then introduced Frank Loetterle, SRF, who made a presentation summarizing recommendations for each segment of the study. Roger Kleppe, Blue Cross Blue Shield, discussed concerns regarding the option for the west segment. He suggested that more information is needed regarding the impacts on Blue Cross' parking spaces and review of new land alternatives. Jim Zechmann, Don Stevens, Inc., requested that a study be conducted for a 3/. access to Discovery Road. City Engineer Matthys indicated that a study had been conducted and suggested a meeting be scheduled between City staff and Mr. Zechmann. Dave DeSutter; Don Stevens Inc, presented the results of a travel time study they performed regarding increased distance and time if left turns onto Discovery Rd were prohibited. Aravind Gottemukkula, Traffic Engineer hired by Don Stevens Inc discussed access spacing and the adverse effect the closure of Discovery Road would have on Don Stevens' business. Clint Racine, Culver's Restaurant, expressed his support for a traffic signal at Promenade and would like to see the O'Leary median break kept open. He discussed the adverse effects the closing of O'Leary would have on his business. Several Councihnembers expressed interest in connecting O'Leary Lane to the new street proposed along Blue Cross' east property line Eagan City Council Meeting Minutes March 20, 2007 Page 3 John Tapper, Gopher Resources, discussed their need for at least a 3/, access from Yankee Doodle Rd to their facility on the north side. The Council inquired about the possibility of shifting the existing full access median break further to the west to meet the County's spacing requirements. Engineer Matthys identified some potential constraints with topography and buried demolition waste but stated that that specific option has not been evaluated. The Council also questioned whether the segment of Yankee Doodle Rd. would ever need to be increased to 6 lanes. The SRF consultant responded that the traffic projections indicated that the current 4-lane design would be adequate for the projected 20 year study. Al Meinke, Skyline Displays, indicated they would tike to see more study conducted for the Discovery Road access. Kristi Sebastian, Dakota County Traffic Engineer, explained the County's Transportation Policy on access spacing. The Council expressed reservations about the proposed U-Turn option for the Discovery Rd. access issue. Council held a discussion and the following consensus was reached: West Segment (I-35E to Lexington Avenue): 1. Extend 6-lane design - Yankee Doodle Road from east of Denmark Avenue to east of Lexington Avenue. 2. Denmark Avenue intersection - Upgrade signal operation from current split phase to a full phase signal with supplemental pavement markings; modify configuration of median between Yankee Doodle and Town Center Drive restricting southbound left turns at Town Center Dr.. 3. Promenade and Blue Cross entrance intersection (Alt. 3W)- Relocate existing intersection slightly to the east with a full phase signal and all-way access, construct a new public street from Yankee Doodle to Town Center Drive near the east property line of the Blue Cross Blue Shied office tower with a direct connection to O'Leary Lane to be further evaluated.. 4. Promenade and Blue Cross entrance intersection (Alt 2W) - If Alt. 3 W is not feasible, then reconfigure existing full-access intersection and median opening to restrict north-south through movements and restrict left turns onto Yankee Doodle Road from the local side streets. Also restrict left turns from westbound Yankee Doodle into Blue Cross. 5. O'Leary Lane - Close median opening restricting access to right-in/right-out movements only. Middle Segment (Lexington Avenue to Mike Collins/Ivy Lane): 1. Extend 6-lane design - Yankee Doodle Road through Lexington Avenue to east of Discovery Road / Golfview Drive. 2. Columbia Drive / Wescott Woodlands Intersection - Maintain full movement intersection by aligning north- south approaches with side-street stop control allowing for full movements from all approaches. 3. Yankee Doodle Road, east of Columbia Drive - The driveway on north side of Yankee Doodle Road approximately 650 feet east of Columbia Drive would be removed and relocated to Columbia Dr. The Council directed that the Discovery Dr. access be studied further with the understanding that if a'/a access is not feasible, then the existing median would be closed as proposed. East Segment (Mike Collins Drive to Highway 149) 1. Maintain 4-1ane design - Yankee Doodle Road from Mike Collins Drive to Highway 149. 2. Mike Collins Drive/Ivy Lane Intersection - Modify median for 3/. intersection, allowing left turns from Yankee Doodle Road, and restricting left turns and through movements from the side streets with the concurrent construction of the Borchert Lane extension to TH 149. 3. Elrene Road/Compost Site Entrance Intersection - Install a full phase signal with all-way access 4. TH 149 Intersection - No changes are being proposed with this study.

Consent Agenda April 4, 2007 City Council Meeting J: APPROVE Changes to the 2007 Fees and Charges to include additional Audio Visual Equipment at the Eagan Community Center. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve additions to the 2007 Fees and Charges that would allow for the rental of newly installed audio visual equipment and the addition of weekly rates for existing equipment. FACTS: • The City Council approved several capital improvements in the 2007 Eagan Community Center budget that would enhance the growing meeting needs in the building. Those improvements have been installed and are ready for the public to reserve as part of their meeting experience in the building. • The meeting rooms are seeing a higher level of daytime and evening use that requires additional audio visual equipment, which has been brought in by outside vendors in the past. • The addition of drop down screens, room darkening shades and plug-in sound system for laptops have been welcomed amenities that will see a great deal of use. • While the budget was set with anticipated revenue growth for audio visual enhancements the exact fees were not established by the City Council. • In addition to daily fees the ECC often has groups that are in the building for multiple days and it would be beneficial to have a weekly rate for services for those groups. • A survey was conducted of similar facilities as well as retail providers to help guide the pricing structure proposals. The proposed fees are comparable to similar facilities and slightly lower than the retail providers that have been brought into the ECC by renters. • The attached list identifies several current and new fees that are proposed to be incorporated into the 2007 fee structure.

WETLAND DELINEATION - SAFARI AT EAGAN, 3RD ADDITION ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Receive and Affirm the Wetland Delineation Report for the Prime Security Bank development located on Lot 1, Block 1 Safari at Eagan, 3rd Addition. FACTS: • A wetland delineation report was submitted as part of the developer's application for Prime Security Bank proposed for the northwest corner of Cliff Rd. and Thomas Center Dr. • Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) rules provide that the Local Government Unit (LGU) is responsible for wetland-related decisions. The rules allow decision authority to be placed with staff according to procedures established by the LGU. • On November 8, 2001, the City Council delegated the decision authority for exemption, wetland type, wetland boundary, and no-loss determinations to the Water Resources Coordinator while retaining approval authority for replacement and wetland banking plans. • Recent special interests and challenges to wetland-related decisions have resulted in administrative procedures whereby all authorized staff decisions are formally reviewed and affirmed by the City Council. • A wetland delineation report dated January 2007 was submitted by Kjolhaug Environmental Services Company, Inc. for this site. The Water Resources Coordinator has confirmed the delineation of a small area that is an apparent remnant of a wetland previously impacted by construction of Thomas Center Drive and the commercial development to the east. • The report has been reviewed, approved by staff and found to be in order for favorable Council action. 2-1 Agenda Information Memo April 4, 2007 Eagan City Council Meeting L CONTRACT 07-01, CITYWIDE STREET & TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Award Contract 07-01 (Citywide Street & Trail Improvements), to McNamara Contracting, Inc., for the base bid in the amount of $1,468,438, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents.

PROJECT 90511R11. LONG ACRESILEBANON HILLS REGIONAL PARK - STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Receive the draft feasibility report for Project 905 R- Revised (Long Acres/Lebanon Hills Regional Park - Storm Drainage Improvements) and schedule a public hearing to be held on May 1, 2007. FACTS: • The City of Eagan's Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan identifies a concept of providing for the managed conveyance of storm water flows from southeast Eagan into and through, as well as for, Dakota County's Lebanon Hills Regional Park (LHRP). This project has been programmed for 2007 in the approved Capital Improvement Plan. • In 2005, Dakota County completed a comprehensive surface water management plan for the 1400 acre regional park to manage the rate and volume of water that flows through the park. • The original Project 905, approved by Council action at the July b, 2004 public hearing, incorporated the common elements of both the City and County's Comprehensive plans into one proposed project. With that Council authorization, staff then initiated the necessary discussions and meetings with all affected agencies to prepare the required cooperative funding agreement. • Since this project incorporates two watershed organizations (Gun Club Lake & Vermillion River) and will provide for the ultimate drainage from multiple agencies (Dakota County, Rosemount, Apple Valley & Eagan), it took a considerable amount of discussion and negotiations to achieve an acceptable method of cost allocation amenable to all jurisdictions. The end result will be multiple Joint Powers Agreements between various combinations of agencies. • However, now that an acceptable funding concept is close to being finalized, the original Council approval for Project 905 has expired (limit of 2 years). It is necessary for the Council to again formally consider the merits of this major drainage project at a new public hearing so it can proceed to fruition. • Subsequently, staff has revised and updated the original feasibility report with new cost estimates, schedules and design refinements for constructing the core storm drainage improvements that will provide for the managed conveyance of storm water flows from southeast Eagan (Gun Club pond) into and through LHRP by way of Marsh Lake and McDonough Lake connecting to the City's trunk system at the Holland Lake lift station. A draft of this "R"evised feasibility report is being presented to the Council for consideration of authorizing a new public hearing to be held on May 1, 2007. • An informational neighborhood meeting will be held with affected property owners and other interested stakeholders prior to the Public Hearing to review and discuss the proposed improvements represented in this revised feasibility report and address questions or concerns in greater detail than typically afforded at a formal public hearing.

FACTS: • Sycamore Place is a single-family residential development located off White Pine Way in the southeast corner of the city adjacent to Inver Grove Heights. This development required the installation of public sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer, and street improvements, along with grading, which were all performed privately by the developer under the terms and conditions of the development contract agreement. • The improvements have been completed, inspected by representatives of the Public Works Department and found to be in order for favorable Council action for acceptance for perpetual maintenance subject to warranty provisions. 2_~q Agenda Information Memo April 4, 2007 Eagan City Council Meeting 0. PROJECT 9058, LEBANON HILLS DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT - JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Authorize the preparation of a Joint Powers Agreement with Dakota County and Rosemount for Project 905R (Lebanon Hills Drainage Improvements) FACTS: • Project 905R will provide for "core" storm drainage improvements serving the Dakota County Lebanon Hills Regional Park, southeastern Eagan and portions of Rosemount and Apple Valley located within the Vermillion River Watershed. • As a result of numerous meetings and protracted negotiations with all involved agencies, a formula for joint funding participation has been conceptually established and can be used as the basis for the preparation of a formal Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). It is proposed that the City of Eagan enter into a JPA with both Dakota County and Rosemount. Simultaneously, Rosemount will enter into a separate JPA with the Vermillion River Watershed and Dakota County will enter into yet another JPA with the City of Apple Valley. • Due to a July 1, 2007 expiration deadline for a $0.5 million Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Flood Mitigation grant, it is important that the JPA's be prepared as soon as possible to accommodate the various agencies' process and approval schedules for timely execution by the July 1 deadline.

CROIX HARLEY-DAVIDSON, INC., a Wisconsin corporation By: Date Its: 4 Agenda Information Memo April 4, 2007 Eagan City Council Meeting OLD BUSINESS A. CONTRACT 06-01, TH 149 RECONSTRUCTION & UPGRADE (TH 55 - ALBANO TRAIL) ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Receive the bids for Contract 06-01 (TH 149 Upgrade), award the contract to the lowest, responsible, qualified bidder for the Base Bid and all Bid Alternates and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. FACTS: • The City of Eagan is the lead agency in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) for Contract 06-01 providing for the upgrade of a 2.7 mile segment of State Trunk Highway (TH) 149, beginning north of TH 55 and terminating in Inver Grove Heights at Albano Trail (south of Rich Valley Blvd/Co. Rd. 71). In addition to upgrading TH 149 to a 4-lane divided roadway, it incorporates an urban street section (curb & gutter) north of Yankee Doodle Road and rural ditch section to the south, a new traffic signal at the intersection of Wescott Road, and dedicated safety turn lanes at various street intersections. A trail will also be constructed along the east side between TH 55 and Wescott Road, interconnecting the existing neighborhoods and businesses with the existing regional trail system. • On January 2, 2007 the City Council approved the plans and authorized the advertisement for competitive bids and directed the Finance Committee to review funding and financing options for this project prior to the Council's consideration of contract award due to escalating cost estimates and City of Eagan's financial contribution requirements. • On March 22, 16 bids were received. After reviewing all bids for conformity to the bid specifications and bidder qualifications criteria, the apparent qualifying low bid was - 15% below the Engineer's estimate. • At its meeting held on Thursday, March 29, 2007 the Finance Committee reviewed the favorable bid results and its lessened impact on the City's 5yr CIP. They subsequently authorized a recommendation to the City Council to award the contract to the qualified low bidder and accept the alternate bid for the installation of the fiber conduit under this contract. This decision included the following considerations: o The likely companion alternate bid for the fiber conduit is in the range of about $120,000 to $150,000. o While it would not be strategically beneficial to install conduit in all open trenches in the City, the Highway 149 corridor is a key component of any future fiber routing. Consequently, inclusion of the conduit with the Highway 149 reconstruction project provides an opportunity in which the City's investment can be recovered in the future. q5 o As the Tech Working Group continues its work to help define options, the City Council will be in position to authorize the development of a focused, engineered master plan for the City and the ultimate business plan for the City's use of its fiber conduit. o There are currently no other potential open trenches where the City will face this decision in advance of the development of the master plan and business plan. o It is appropriate to finance the Highway 149 fiber conduit in the same manner as the entrepreneurial, City owned component of the ISD 196 11.5 mile fiber loop through the City's new enterprise fund. The business plan to be developed will address the capitalization of this fund which is currently borrowing money from the City's investment pool. • All agency agreements have been executed and all construction easements necessary for this project have been acquired from the impacted properties or are being pursued through the Eminent Domain process with quick take rights of entry already secured. ISSUES: • At the time of this agenda preparation, the bid results and contractor qualifications were still being reviewed by MnDOT. A notice of conformance and support for contract award from MnDOT is expected before the Council meeting. ATTACHMENTS: • Bid Tabulation, to be resented at Council meeting. • Attached on pages presented through ~ S is a copy of a memo written by Director of Communications Garrison and shared with the Finance Committee outlining the progress of the Tech Working Group & perspectives regarding necessity of the Highway 149 conduit. • Attached on pages 4 through 5o is a copy of memo written by Director of Administrative Services VanOverbeke and shared with the Finance Committee providing background and outlining funding options for the Highway 149 conduit. L `e 4b~ City of Eap ma To: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES From: COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR GARRISON Date: March 23, 2005 Subject: UPDATE ON PROGRESS OF TECH WORKING GROUP & PERSPECTIVES REGARDING NECESSITY OF 149 CONDUIT You asked that I provide a brief update of the preliminary findings of the Tech Working Group with respect to priority areas for extending conduit, a fiber master plan, and specifically the importance of the bid alternate for conduit along the Highway 149 construction route. Progress To Date • The Tech Working Group has learned from electrical engineering experts that to build a successful fiber ring from which to deploy services, it is NOT necessary to go down every street or to take advantage of every open trench possibility. • Rather, it is important to identify and have a strategy for taking advantage of certain key routes and zones that might now or in the future be interconnected. • Based on expert testimony, it is the belief of the Tech Working Group that Highway 149 is a key route representing the major line along the eastern edge of Eagan and the only time this area is likely to be open trench in the next 40-50 years. For that reason conduit should be installed there with an eye to the future. • The good news is, there appears to be no more immediate high profile or high priority location construction projects in at least the next year that would represent a missed opportunity if not pursued. As stated later in this memo, that will allow the City Council, advised by staff and the Working Group, time to make a better decision on its preferred options. • Those options will arise as full results are known from industry discussions that were also directed by the Communications Committee. Per direction, we have been contacting and meeting with current and potential providers to see what they might be able to do in concert with the City to achieve our broadband goals. • To date, high level discussions have been held with Qwest and Comcast officials and we are awaiting answers from both about their willingness to extend fiber to homes and businesses, and whether or not City participation might help extend fiber the last distance necessary to hook-up a home or business off of the main line. A similar meeting will be scheduled with Frontier Communications because it already has a great deal of fiber running through Eagan. An earlier intended meeting with them had to be rescheduled past March because of schedules requiring key Frontier personnel to be out of state. We have also re-contacted Dakota Electric to gauge their willingness to partner • Additionally the Working Group is investigating a European technology to use sewers as a cheaper way to deploy fiber, and so-called "dark fiber" possibilities available in Eagan. Dark fiber is installed fiber that has never been lit up, but is available for lease. It is possible, with long-term leases, that this option may be a cheaper alternative than installing fiber in certain locations. Costs in these areas, until one is willing to do a deal, are closely guarded. Even local IT experts calling for us have not been able to secure the information. • Because of the city and the Tech Working Group's interest in making sure its major greenfield-like opportunity in the Cedar Grove Redevelopment District has the capability for high speed fiber, the RFP for Cedar Grove was modeled on the specification for conduit along Highway 149. Submitters can choose to only install conduit or work directly with a provider for fiber optic service. Initial responses are due back April 30. • Lastly, we have updated the original fiber estimates from Dynamic City for a city- wide build and a "Plan B" alternative. Next Steps I think you can see that while several discussions and requests for information are in progress, we await the final answers that will allow the Tech Working Group to come back to City Council and say, "Here are the various options, the expected price tags, and the pros and cons." The Council will then be in a position to opt for a desired alternative, that can be fully engineered and priced as part of a master plan. Until we know who is a willing potential partner, what they might be willing to do for us and with us, and what they would expect us to pay for, the Council is not yet in a position to choose from those alternatives. We would expect to have those initial "back of the envelope" answers and prices no later than mid-June, and sooner if possible. We have found that getting answers, particularly from the incumbent providers during the current legislative session which is expected to last through May, has been difficult at best. When we do get those answers, I'm confident that we can proceed quite quickly for Council feedback and questions, and settle on a preferred alternative to fully master plan. It should be noted than it may be necessary to secure an outside firth with the proper electrical engineering expertise to produce the master plan called for by the Council when it adopted its 2007-08 goals in February regarding the installation of high speed fiber optic broadband. Please let me know if you or the Committee would like any further information. City of EMe~o To: City Administrator. Hedges From: Director of Administrative Services VanOverbeke Date: March 23, 2007 Subject: Fiber Conduit Financing You asked that I provide this memo. outlining the background on previous City fiber related construction in Eagan and possible funding alternatives, if the fiber conduit alternative is approved with the Highway 149 project bid award. Background City Use In cooperation with ISD 196, a number of other cities, Dakota County, and the State, Eagan participated in the construction costs related to the ISD 196 fiber upgrade project. This project included fiber installation to Fire Stations 3 and 4, City Hall, and will provide for the City's primary connection to the State through the Western Service Center in Apple Valley. In the primary loop the City uses fiber strands within the ISD 196 conduit. The City has sole ownership of the conduit and fiber•specific to its own facilities. The City has paid $169,062.90 from its Cable TV Retained Franchise Fees Fund for this installation. Entrepreneurial In addition, to take advantage of lower construction costs the City Council chose to have empty conduit installed through the same 11.5 mile loop during the same construction activity. That conduit is under the sole ownership of the City and was installed at a City cost of $242,227. Construction costs were paid through a non capitalized enterprise fund which has a 12-31-06 cash deficit of $248,187. The dollars have been borrowed internally and are expected to be recovered in the future through the use/sale/lease of the conduit which at this time remains undefined pending additional study. This study continues as part of the City Council 2007-2008 goal of "Pursuing world class internet speeds, connectivity, and access to all Eagan residents and businesses by developing a master plan, including finance options and policies, for the installation of high speed fiber optic broadband." Funding Alternatives-Highway 149 Conduit The installation and funding issues related to this Highway 149 conduit option are consistent with the earlier dilemma faced by the City at the time of the ISD 196 project. The first question being whether or not the risk related to a City investment of $151,000 to maintain future conduit use options in the Highway 149 corridor is reasonable. In general, the City is trying to balance a fixed cost today against an uncertain future benefit. Installing the conduit at this time effectively starts the risk clock today. The pro to that choice is a lower cost while the con is a sunk cost that generates an asset with a wide range of potential future value ranging from enormous to little or at the extreme none. Not installing the conduit at this time effectively delays the risk until a future time. The pro to that approach is today's cost avoidance and a more precisely defined need/project at some future time. There is also the possibility that the future could potentially show no need at all, thereby avoiding all of the construction costs. The con is the potentially much higher construction cost in the future, although higher costs could potentially be more than off-set by reductions with a more defined project. Unfortunately, I am not aware of a straight forward method to quantify the risk/reward of the choices that would assist in determining the best course of action. The goal related to internet access, speed, etc. results in the City moving into uncharted territory. The Technology Working Group is continuing to help define the options for the course and as their work continues an overall financing plan can be incorporated. Staff is not aware of any other pending City construction projects where this same install conduit / don't install conduit question will be raised before the more comprehensive policy matters can be decided. If the City Council answers this first question in the affirmative and chooses to proceed with construction at this time, the payment should probably be handled in the same manner as the 11.5 mile City owned (entrepreneurial) conduit in the ISD 196 loop. The payment would be made from the enterprise fund with dollars advanced from the City's investment pool and interest charged. The challenge with this approach is that obviously the enterprise fund will incur carrying costs and will eventually need to be capitalized. If the enterprise fund does not become self sustaining, a backup plan of charging the Cable TV Franchise Fees Fund could cause a significant drain on its resources and any tax supported capitalization may not look attractive. Please let me know, if you would like to discuss this information or if you would like any additional information.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW 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 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 In 2000, the City approved an amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan changing the land use designation from Limited Industrial to Commercial Planned Development to accommodate the proposed Sam's Club retail use. With the adoption in 2001 of a City-wide update to the Comprehensive Guide Plan, the property was designated RC, Retail Commercial. 5q Planning Report - Planned Development Amendment (Sam's Club) March 27, 2007 Page 2 The building was constructed in 2001, and in May of that year, an amendment to the initial Sam's Club Planned Development was approved to allow the addition of a liquor store to the building. A deviation from the minimum number of parking stalls was granted as part of the Planned Development. At the time of initial development, the plans showed the area on the north end of the site as proof of future parking. In June 2002, once the building had been open for several months and no need for additional parking had been demonstrated, the City agreed to release Sam's from the proof of parking obligation. Sam's subsequently made application for a PD Amendment to add a motor fuel facility to the site in 2003. That application was denied by the City Council. The primary reason for the denial was that an improved access plan for the overall site needed to be addressed. The one year required time frame had passed since the denial, and Sam's submitted a new application for a fueling station with a redesigned site layout. The facility had been redesigned from the previous proposal, and the new plans showed modifications to the existing site access. This plan was approved in January 2005. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is developed with a 137,400 sq. ft. Sam's Club store, which includes off-sale liquor and a 12 pump motor fuel sale operation with hours of operation between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on Monday through Saturday, and Sundays 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The building is located on the south end of the property. Access to the site is provided from Denmark Avenue, opposite Clubview Drive. A drainage pond is located in the northeast comer of the site. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: Existing Use Zoning Land Use Designation North Hotel PD, Planned Development BP, Business Park South Vacant (U.S. Postal Service) I-1, Limited Industrial IND, Limited Industrial East Southeast Tech Center (office) PD, Planned Development BP, Business Park West I-35E EVALUATION OF REQUEST Code Requirements - The City Zoning Code allows for seasonal outdoor sales as a conditional use within the commercial zoning districts of the city, subject to the adopted standards. The City Code defines a seasonal outdoor sale as "the outdoor storage and sale of goods within a duration of more than ten and less than 90 continuous days that are accessory to the principal use or structure." Section 11.10, subdivision 29.4 identifies performance standards for a seasonal outdoor sale. Seasonal outdoor sales also must comply with the standards applicable to temporary outdoor events outlined in Section 11. 10, subdivision 29.3. This proposed CUP will be evaluated relative to these standards. Planning Report - Planned Development Amendment (Sam's Club) March 27, 2007 Page 3 Description of Proposal - Sam's Club is proposing a temporary greenhouse for seasonal outdoor sales, and expanded hours for the motor fuel facility. Temporary Greenhouse - Sam's Club is proposing to add a 24 x 40 foot temporary greenhouse for seasonal outdoor sales to their property at 3035 Denmark Avenue. According to the applicant, the tent will "be located directly across from our exit door and placed in the middle of the parking lot by our center curb area". Also, the front of the tent will be fenced to provide security from theft of the seasonal merchandise. The items for sale will consist of hanging plants, potted plants, trees, shrubs, potting soil and mulch. Compatibility with Surrounding, Area - Both requests appear consistent with the area. The existing development is commercial retail and this area is considered a part of one of the major commercial developments in the city. There are no residential properties neighboring the site. Duration - Sam's Club is proposing their season would be from April 1st to June 22°d annually. Only one seasonal sale or outdoor event may occur at one time. All sales should cease and the structures should be removed by July 1st each year. Grading/Storm Drainage - No new pavement will be added as a result of this permit. Parking - Parking will be provided on the property within the existing parking lot. There are currently 633 parking stalls provided to serve the 137,400 sq. ft. store. This exceeds the number of stalls required by the zoning ordinance. The greenhouse would occupy approximately 12 parking stalls. Seasonal Sales Standards - Additional standards apply to the evaluation of a Conditional Use Permit for Seasonal Outdoor Sales. The following is an evaluation of this proposal as it relates to each of those standards listed in Section 11. 10, Subdivisions 29.3 and 29.4. 1. Adequate off-street parking shall be provided to ensure that no obstruction or interference occurs with existing traffic patterns. The greenhouse is a temporary membrane structure, approximately 40 feet long by 24 feet wide. The proposed greenhouse occupies approximately 12 existing parking stalls in the middle of the parking lot. The greenhouse location will leave the handicapped accessible stalls open. 2. No portion of the event shall take place within any public right-of-way. A minimum setback of ten (10) feet shall be maintained from all property lines and no portion of the use shall take place within 100 feet of any abutting property line of any residential use or residential zoned property, which is not separated by public right-of-way. The sale area will satisfy all building and parking setback requirements. In addition, there are no abutting residential uses or residential zoned properties. 50 Planning Report - Planned Development Amendment (Sam's Club) March 27, 2007 Page 4 3. The site shall be kept in a neat and orderly manner and the display of items shall not cover more than S% of the total lot as to not interfere with pedestrian safety, vehicular movement, emergency access and existing business activities. The sale area comprises 960 square feet of the 15-acre site. The greenhouse is proposed to be located over several existing parking stalls near the middle of the parking lot. The greenhouse will be separated from the main drive aisle by an existing concrete island, which defines the rows of parking. 4. All signs for the event shall comply with Eagan City Code sign regulations. The City Sign Code does not have specific standards for seasonal sales. There is no proposed signage for the temporary greenhouse neither outside the tent nor on the Sam's Club building. 5. Tents and temporary membrane structures having an area in excess of 200 square feet and canopies in excess of 400 square feet shall be subject to a building permit. Since the proposed structure exceeds 200 square feet, a building permit is required prior to construction each year. 6. The owner or operator of the event shall have the written permission of the fee owner of the property on which the event is located to use the specific site. The property owner is the applicant. 7. Hours of operation shall be subject to this Chapter's regulations governing hours of operation of commercial businesses. The applicant proposes greenhouse operations between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Sundays, which is the same hours of operation as the store itself. 8. No parking shall be permitted on any adjacent parcel without the prior written permission of the adjacent parcel owner. All parking can be accommodated within the existing Sam's Club parking lot. 9. The sale area shall be within an enclosure as necessary to achieve appropriate security and containment or for public safety reasons when determined necessary by the City. Sam's Club has proposed to have an 8-foot display area off the end of the greenhouse, which is similar to what has been approved at other locations within the City of Eagan. The outside displays must be contained within an enclosure such as a temporary fence, which Sam's Club has included in their proposal. 10. The sale shall not encroach into any required front building setback area or other required setbacks. The proposed sale area is located within Sam's Club principal building. No sales will take place at the greenhouse location. 11. The sale area shall not interfere with any pedestrian or vehicular movement. The drive aisles within the parking lot will remain open. No sidewalks are impacted by the proposed sale area. 57 Planning Report - Planned Development Amendment (Sam's Club) March 27, 2007 Page 5 12. The sale area shall not take up required parking spaces or landscaping areas of the principal use. There is ample parking on-site. Based on the minimum parking requirements in the City Zoning Code, the 137,400 square foot retail center requires 455 parking stalls and 633 are provided. The proposed outdoor sales area is located within the existing parking lot and covers approximately 12 parking stalls. 13. The sale area shall be surfaced with concrete or an approved equivalent to control dust and erosion. The sale area will be located within the existing parking lot, which has bituminous surfacing. The surface shall be properly maintained to prevent deterioration. Motor Fuel Station Extension of Hours - Sam's Club is proposing to extend the hours of their motor fuel facility from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. seven days a week. Current hours are 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sundays. At the time Sam's Club made their application for the Planned Development Amendment for the motor fuel facility, they proposed the hours of operation to be between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on Monday through Saturday, and Sundays 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. This was about one hour before and one hour after the regular store hours. The regular store hours are: Monday - Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. During the review of the original motor fuel facility application, the hours of operation proposed by the applicant were approved. Now, Sam's Club would prefer their motor fuel facility to be open longer hours which would be similar to the hours of other Sam's Club stores in the area. Since this site is located more than 200 feet from residential uses and fronts on a major thoroughfare, City Code does not limit hours of operation. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The applicant is proposing the seasonal outdoor sale of plants and plant products and a temporary greenhouse as well as extended hours of the motor fuel facility at 3035 Denmark Avenue. This type of commercial use and hours of operations appear compatible with other uses in this commercial area. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Planned Development Amendment for seasonal outdoor sales to allow a temporary greenhouse on property located at 3035 Denmark Avenue, legally described as Lot 3, Block 1, Eagandale Center Industrial Park Number 9, in the NE %4 of Section 10.

REZONING - CITY OF EAGAN ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve (or direct Findings for denial) a Rezoning of 2.3 acres from Transitional to R-2 Residential Double for Lot 9, Block 1, Letendre Addition No. 3, located at 3206 Sibley Memorial Highway (Highway 13) in the SW'/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 Advisory Planning Commission (APC) held a Public Hearing on January 23, 2007 and is recommending approval of a rezoning to R-3 Residential Townhouse. ➢ On February 20, 2007 the City Council heard testimony from several neighbors regarding the density of the area and directed staff to bring the item back to the APC for consideration of a rezoning to R-2 residential Double. ➢ 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 March 27, 2007 and is recommending approval of the rezoning to R-2 Residential Double. ~1 ATTACHMENTS: (5) Draft 3-27-07 APC Minutes on page l(~1 Staff report on pages 70 through L. 2-20-07 City Council minutes on page 7 Letter from property owner on pages L- through 7 7 Comp Plan Subcommittee Summary on page (49S Advisory Planning Commission Minutes March 27, 2007 Page 6of16 C. City of Eagan Rezoning Applicant Name:City of Eagan Location:3206 Sibley Memorial Hwy; Lot 9, Block 1, Letendre Addition No. 3 Application: Rezoning A Rezoning of approximately 2.3 acres from Transitional (T) to Residential Double (R-2). File Number: 09-RZ-08-12-06 City Planner Ridley introduced this item and highlighted the information presented in the City Staff report dated March 14, 2007. He noted the background and history. Chair Hansen opened the public hearing. Loren Gross, Representative of the property owners, explained the history of the property and the expectations of the owners when the property was purchased. He stated the property owners wish for the property to be zoned R-3. Ronald Miller, 3217 Donald Ave, discussed the history of the site and the long range plan at the time he purchased his property and stated the property was not guided as R-3, rather medium density. Barbara Miller, 3217 Donald Ave, stated objection to the R-3 zoning due to the density. Janelle Green, 3225 Donald Ave, stated objection with the possibility of townhomes near her home. She commented on a portion of the property that she has maintained for 15 years. There being no further public comment, Chair Hansen closed the public hearing and turned the discussion back to the Commission. Member Heaney moved, Member Feller seconded a motion to recommend approval of a Rezoning of 2.3 acres from Transitional to R-2 Residential Double 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. A vote was taken. Aye: Chair Hansen, Members Zoberi, Feller, Heaney, and Jensen. Nay: Members Dugan and Keeley. Member Keeley stated her reason for denial is because the 2000 Comprehensive Guide Plan Update spoke to an ultimate zoning of R-3 and the property owner should be able to depend on the guide plan. Member Dugan concurred with Member Keeley. Motion carried: 5-2. ~q PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: March 14, 2007 CASE: 09-RZ-08-12-06 APPLICANT: City of Eagan HEARING DATE: March 27, 2007 PROPERTY OWNER: Heritage Investments, Inc PREPARED BY: Michael J. 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-2, 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 Most recently the request to rezone this parcel from T Transitional to R-3 Residential Townhome was recommended for approval by the Advisory Planning Commission (APC) on January 23, 2007. The City Council heard testimony from several neighbors at their regular meeting on February 20, 2007. At that time, the City Council directed the item back to the APC to have them consider a rezoning to R-2 Residential Double. /D Planning Report - 3206 Sibley Memorial Highway Rezoning March 27, 2007 Page 2 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 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 residential 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-2 or 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. Planning Report - 3206 Sibley Memorial Highway Rezoning March 27, 2007 Page 3 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 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-2 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-2 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 1/4 of Section 9. 72 Eagan Boundary ~pqp q■p~ Parcel Area LeOcati®n Map UPprkArea 9 Building Footprint 01 0 p o © C1 ° 6 ,p p 42 a 00 a B ® 8 9 H 0 8 ° ° ~ 9 B fl ® O m © 13 3 8 Q. e A o ~p a4 rd5 2~a Q 0 Sub'ect Site ®9%m M V b a b s cJ A $ l O o a o otp = i 6 0 B e°~' E3 t~ J o} o e, H ' tan 7 9L- 0 1! o.

City Planner Ridley gave a staff report. It was noted that a letter was received from the attorney for Ron Miller requesting the item be continued to allow further notification of neighboring properties. It was the consensus of the council that legal requirements were met in regard to the legal notices. Five neighboring property owners expressed various reasons for their opposition to the rezoning of the property to R-3, Residential, stating they preferred a lower density designation. Councilmembers clarified the history and intent of the current zoning and Guide Plan classifications, discussed the proposed R-3 zoning and the concerns of the residents. It was the consensus of the Council to direct this issue back to the Advisory Planning Commission for review and consideration of an R-2 zoning designation. The Council also stated their desire that future redevelopment of the site be mindful of maintaining river-valley views of the neighbors to the east. Councilmember Fields moved, Councilmember Tilley seconded a motion to direct the Advisory Planning Commission to reconsider a Rezoning of 2.3 acres from Transitional to R-2 zoning for Lot 9, Block 1, Letendre Addition No. 3, located at 3206 Sibley Memorial Highway in the SW '/4 of Section 9.

NEW BUSINESS C. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT AND FINAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT- MILLER ARCHITECTS & BUILDERS, INC. ACTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve (OR to direct preparation of findings for denial) a Planned Development Amendment to change the approved use from restaurant/theater to commercial bank, upon approximately 2.64 acres located on 1595 Thomas Center Drive, legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Safari at Eagan Yd Addition, in the SW 1/4 of Section 28, subject to the conditions listed in the APC minutes. To approve a Final Planned Development for a 3,396 sq. ft. commercial bank building upon 2.64 acres (Lot 1, Block 1, Safari at Eagan 3`a Addition), in the SW 1/4 of Section 28. REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: At least three votes. FACTS: ➢ The site is vacant and consists of one platted lot. ➢ The applicant is proposing a 2-story commercial bank and to lease office space on the 2nd floor. ➢ NB setback, lot coverage and dimensional standards are satisfied. ➢ The applicant states they are able to meet the conditions of approval. ➢ The applicant must petition the City for the vacation of the portion of the drainage and utility easement for the proposed Pylon sign. ➢ The Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 27, 2007 and recommended approval of the PD Amendment and Final PD. ➢ A Final PD Agreement will be executed before release of the building permit. ISSUES: ➢ The Advisory Planning Commission amended the signage condition so that the proposed Pylon sign shall be located as shown on the site plan dated March 7, 2007. This allows a deviation from code allowing a sign within the 10-foot setback area as well as a Pylon sign within 300' from another Pylon sign due to the number and size of easements on the property. 60-DAY AGENCY ACTION DEADLINE: April 21, 2007 ATTACHMENTS (2): Draft APC Minutes of March 27, p~~ag,,.e~~ through L1211 Staff report, pages through 79 Advisory Planning Commission Minutes March 27, 2007 Page 10 of 16 E. Prime Security Bank Applicant Name:Miller Architects & Builders, Inc. Location: 1595 Thomas Center Drive; Lot 1, Block 1, Safari at Eagan 3rd Addition Application: Planned Development Amendment A Planned Development to allow a bank with a drive-through. File Number: 28-PA-04-02-07 Planner Schield introduced this item and highlighted the information presented in the City Staff report dated March 19, 2007. She noted the background and history. Dan Miller, Miller Architects and Builders, discussed the property limitations due to the existing easements and the proposed application. Chair Hansen opened the public hearing. There being no public comment, Chair Hansen closed the public hearing and turned the discussion back to the Commission. Member Heaney asked for clarification on the proposed pylon sign location. City Planner Ridley illustrated the various easements impacting the buildable area of the site and the proposed building and sign locations. Chair Hansen asked the applicant about the exterior building materials and Mr. Miller confirmed that the building could/will meet the City's building materials standards. Member Keeley stated that due to the site constraints, she was okay with a detached trash enclosure. Chair Hansen asked staff about similar site situations for pylon signage and trash enclosures. Ridley explained that there are similarly tight sites, fast-food sites with drive-through operations particular in Town Centre that have managed to incorporate an attached trash enclosure. He also generically explained situations where pylon signs have been approved with less than 300' spacing. Member Jensen asked the applicant about the proposed screening for the trash enclosure. Mr. Miller explained the discrepancy on the Landscape Plan and the need to add coniferous plant material to better screen the enclosure year round. Member Dugan asked the applicant if the trash enclosure could be attached and Mr. Miller said it would not be their first choice but that it could be attached to the building. Discussion also occurred relative to exterior illumination of the building entrance and the drive- through area. 50 Advisory Planning Commission Minutes March 27, 2007 Page 11 of 16 Member Keeley stated her concern that the proposed location of the pylon sign may impair the current view of the convenience gas pylon to the east. Member Zoberi moved, Member Feller seconded a motion to recommend approval of a Planned Development Amendment to change the approved use from restaurant/theatre to a commercial bank on property located at 1595 Thomas Center Drive, legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Safari at Eagan 3rd Addition, in the SW of Section 28 subject to the following conditions as amended: 1. A Final Planned Development shall be required and an agreement be prepared and recorded at the Dakota County Recorder's Office prior to issuance of a building permit. The following plans are required for the Final Planned Development: • Final Site Plan • Final Landscape Plan • Final Building Elevations • Final Signage Plan • Final Site Lighting Plan 2. The trash enclosure shall be attached to the building. 3. Building materials shall meet current code standards, including percentages of materials used. 4. Light standards shall not exceed 18 foot pole heights. 5. There shall be no security'Iights on the buildings. 6. Signage shall comply with City Sign Code requirements, provided that the pylon sign shall be located as shown on the site plan dated March 7, 2007. 7. A revised Landscape Plan shall be submitted to match the plant schedule with the plantings shown on the plan. 8. The existing 1'/2" copper water service lines, that will not be utilized by this development but are stubbed to this site from Thomas Center Drive, shall be abandoned in accordance with City standards. 9. The development shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits from regulatory agencies, including Williams Brothers Pipeline and Dakota County, prior to final plat approval. 10. The developer shall sign a waiver of objection to special assessment for City Project 946, prior to building permit. A vote was taken. All voted in favor. Motion carried: 7-0. 8~ PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: March 19, 2007 CASE: 28-PA-04-02-07 APPLICANT: Miller Architects and Builders, Inc.,HEARING DATE: March 27, 2007 PROPERTY OWNER: Prime Security Bank APPLICATION DATE: February 21, 2007 REQUEST: Planned Development Amendment PREPARED BY: Sarah Schield LOCATION: 1595 Thomas Center Drive COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: RC, Retail Commercial ZONING: PD, Planned Development SUMMARY OF REQUEST Miller Architects and Builders, Inc., on behalf of Prime Security Bank, is requesting approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow a commercial bank on property located at 1595 Thomas Center Drive, legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Safari at Eagan 3' d Addition, in the SW '/4 of Section 28. The proposed bank use constitutes a change from the previously approved Preliminary Planned Development that called for the construction of a restaurant/theater on the subject property. Approval of the requested amendment would simultaneously constitute approval of a Final Planned Development to be incorporated into a forthcoming PD Agreement. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Chapter 11, Section 11.50, 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 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. 8y Planning Report - Planned Development Amendment (Prime Security Bank) March 27, 2007 Page 2 BACKGROUND/HISTORY The subject property was originally part of the Blackhawk Park Planned Development approved by the Eagan Town Board in 1972. The original plan was highly generalized and incorporated area bounded on the northwest by I-35E, on the south by Cliff Road and on the east by Pilot Knob Road. Over the years, the planned development has been revised numerous times. In 1993, the Lifetime Fitness Health Club was approved. In conjunction with the health club approval, a second run movie theater and a 7,500 square foot restaurant were proposed upon the subject property. In the spring of 1997, a Final Planned Development was executed (between the City and the developer) to allow two 21,000 square foot office buildings and a 14,000 square foot movie theater upon the subject property. Because the Final Subdivision associated with the Final Planned Development was not recorded within 60 days of approval however, the approval was rendered null and void. In May of 2000, the City Council approved a Preliminary Planned Development Amendment and Preliminary Subdivision for 7.0 acres of land. The three lot development called for the construction of a 10,000 square foot restaurant, a 35,000 square foot office development (within four buildings) and a 159 stall parking lot (expansion for the Lifetime Fitness Health Club). Since such approval, the most northerly of the three lots (Lot 3) has been replatted and combined with the adjacent Lifetime Fitness parcel to the east. In the fall of 2002, a Final Planned Development Agreement was executed to allow two 12,000 square foot office buildings and two 5,500 square foot office buildings on Lots 2-6, Block 1, Safari at Eagan P Addition. Most recently, the last two of the four office buildings have begun construction. The requested PD Amendment would be the final buildout of the overall plan. The Amendment would allow a bank to be constructed where a movie theater/restaurant was proposed. EXISTING CONDITIONS The 2.64 acre site has been previously graded and is void of any vegetation except near the public storm sewer pond along the south edge of the site. A 100-foot Williams Brother's pipeline easement is located on the western half of the site. This easement reduces the buildable area on the property as no structure may be placed upon it. Access to the site is provided from Thomas Center Drive. ~33 Planning Report - Planned Development Amendment (Prime Security Bank) March 27, 2007 Page 3 SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: Existing Use Zonin Land Use Designation North Single Family Residential PD, Planned Development MD, Medium Density (Thomas Lake Woods) South Single Family Residential PD, Planned Development LD, Low Density (Beacon Hill) East Thomas Lake Shopping Center PD, Planned Development RC, Retail Commercial West Single Family Residential PD, Planned Development LD, Low Density (Woodgate Addition) EVALUATION OF REQUEST Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The proposed retail use appears consistent with the surrounding commercial retail and office uses. Site Plan - The Site Plan shows a 3,396 sq. ft., two-story office building on the eastern portion of the site, with parking on the north and west sides of the building. The building's main entrance faces north. The site plan does not identify an ATM outside the bank building because no current or future drive up ATM is planned. The site plan identifies two drive-through service lanes as part of the bank operations. Typically a drive-through would require a conditional use permit, however, the Planned Development Amendment may allow the drive-through in place of a conditional use permit. Bulk Standards - As a Planned Development deviation from typical zoning bulk standards may be allowed. Setbacks - Setbacks are consistent with ordinance requirements. The building is located at the minimum required 30-foot setback from Thomas Center Drive, and also exceeds the 50-foot setback from Cliff Road, 10 feet from the side lot line, and 20 feet from the rear lot line. Parking setbacks are proposed to meet the required 20 feet from all public streets. Building Coverage - The proposed building coverage is 3% which is consistent with typical commercial district zoning standards which allow 20% - 30% coverage. Building Height - The Zoning Code does not establish a maximum height requirement for Planned Developments. The proposed two-story office building, measures 30 feet at its highest point, as shown on the Elevations Plan. This is consistent with typical commercial district zoning standards which allow a maximum 30 foot height. Green Space - The proposed green space is 69% which exceeds the minimum green space requirement of 30% of the lot. ~34 Planning Report - Planned Development Amendment (Prime Security Bank) March 27, 2007 Page 4 Building Elevations/Architecture - The Preliminary Planned Development did not include building materials. However, at the time the Preliminary Planned Development was approved, the City ordinance did not include architectural standards. The proposed materials include a majority of brick and glass, which are Class I materials. The building also includes masonry stucco and rock-face block masonry, which are Class II materials. To meet current ordinance requirements, the elevations should include three Class I materials, and the building must be composed of at least 65 percent Class I materials, not more than 35 percent Class II or Class II materials, and not more than 10 percent Class IV materials. The exterior materials should be revised to meet current Code standards. This could be accomplished by utilizing stone in place of the proposed masonry block. The elevations should also identify the percentage of the materials used. Rooftop Equipment - The site plan identifies the roof top HVAC units to be screened by a mansard roof. Also, the elevations do not show the rooftop units. Therefore, the screening of the units meets the ordinance requirements. Trash Enclosure - The Preliminary Planned Development Agreement required trash enclosures to be attached and meet the requirements of the City Code. The proposed detached enclosure meets the other requirements of the City Code, however because it is detached, it is a deviation from the Preliminary PD. The plans should be revised to show the trash enclosure to be attached to the principal building. Parking - The proposed parking quantity and dimensions meet City Code requirements. City Code requires that parking be provided in the amount of one stall for each 250 sq. ft. of gross floor area for financial institutions and one stall for each 150 sq. ft. of net leasable floor area for office. The bank also requires five stacking spaces for each drive-through window. This calculates to a minimum required parking amount of 41 stalls. The applicant is proposing 43, 10' x 19' parking stalls and stacking of 10 vehicles for the two drive-through lanes. Landscaping - The Landscape Plan appears to be satisfactory, however the plant schedule indicates two avalanche lilacs and there are no lilacs shown on the landscape plan. Additionally, the plant schedule differs slightly between the number of honeylocusts, bayberrys and spireas shown on the plan. The plan indicates six Skyline Honeylocusts that provide a buffer between the parking lot and Thomas Center Drive. Also an additional honeylocust and a variety of deciduous and evergreen shrubs and perennial beds provide screening of parking areas from the public rights-of-way. The proposed landscaping materials adjacent to the detached trash enclosure consist of deciduous shrubs which will not provide year round screening. If the detached trash enclosure is allowed, the surrounding plantings shall be revised. Site Lighting - City Code requires that on-site lighting be provided as is necessary for security, safety and traffic circulation. Illumination shall be indirect and diffused or shielded. Lighting shall not be directed upon public rights-of-way or adjacent properties and the source of light shall not be visible from off the property. PIS Planning Report - Planned Development Amendment (Prime Security Bank) March 27, 2007 Page 5 The Preliminary Planned Development required perimeter lights be 18 feet in height with shields and that no security lights be located on the office buildings. Site lighting is proposed through free-standing pole-mounted lights with metal halide flat lens shoebox type fixtures. These fixtures are to be mounted on 20 foot poles within the parking lot. The west elevation identifies a light above the exit door. The plan should be modified to reflect 18 foot tall light poles. The Photometric Plan shows acceptable light levels. Light levels achieve a minimum of 0.4 footcandles within the parking lots, with a high of 3.8 footcandles and an average of 1.5 footcandles. Light levels at the property lines are 0.6 footcandles. The average to minimum ratio is 3.8, suggesting fairly uniform light levels throughout the parking lot. Sig_nage - Prime Security Bank is proposing building signage on the south and east elevations and a 20-foot pylon sign near the intersection of Thomas Center Drive and Cliff Road is also proposed. The Preliminary Planned Development agreement provided for no more than one pylon sign allowed on this lot in accordance with the City Sign Code requirements. The proposed halo-lit building mounted signs meet code requirements. However, the pylon sign does not meet the 300-foot spacing requirement from the pylon sign across Thomas Center Drive at the Holiday gas station. Further, it does not meet the 10-foot setback from the south property line. The applicant has stated "We are requesting our sign be allowed to be positioned at the south property line due to the requirement of maintaining a ten foot maintenance distance from an existing City storm water line. The placement of our sign will require the vacation of a small portion of City drainage easement to allow for its construction and maintenance". Lastly, the proposed pylon sign consists of an LED display. The applicant is aware that there is a moratorium on such signs and that they will be subject to the ordinance in affect when they apply for the sign permit. Grading - The site is open and generally slopes from west to east with elevations ranging from 970 to 930. Four Williams Brothers gas pipelines (with a 100-foot wide easement) run through the west side of the site in a north-south alignment. The developer does not propose to affect these pipelines as part of the development, as the majority of the development is located on the eastern half of the site. A small retaining wall is proposed within the existing public drainage & utility easement along the north edge of the site. The wall is proposed in a location so as not to inhibit City maintenance of the water main pipe within the easement. Storm Drainage/Water Quality - Storm water runoff from this development will drain via existing public storm sewer to Pond BP-13.1 (as designated in the City Storm Water Management Plan) east of the Lifetime Fitness Center. This pond has been designed and constructed to handle the runoff from this development. Pond BP-39, along the south edge of the site, serves approximately 42 acres of property to the south, and will be expanded as part of a separate public improvement project administered by the City. Easements have been provided with the plat to allow for this pond expansion. (el Planning Report - Planned Development Amendment (Prime Security Bank) March 27, 2007 Page 6 Utilities - The preliminary utility plan is acceptable. Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size, depth and capacity are available from Thomas Center Drive to the east. Existing 1'/2" copper water service lines, that will not be utilized by this development but are stubbed to this site from Thomas Center Drive, should be abandoned in accordance with City standards. Streets/ Access/ Circulation - Public street access is available from Thomas Center Drive, a looping street that intersects with both Cliff Road and Thomas Lake Road. The Thomas Center Drive - Beacon Hill Road/ Cliff Road intersection is currently controlled by a traffic signal system. The bituminous overlay of Thomas Center Drive was recently approved by the City Council December 19, 2006 under City Project No. 946, and in accordance with the City's 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Under this project, a special assessment is proposed to this property (1595 Thomas Center Drive). This development should be required to sign a waiver of objection to special assessment for City Project 946, prior to building permit. A 6-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the west side of Thomas Center Drive and an 8-foot wide blacktop trail along the north side of Cliff Road provide the pedestrian access in the area. Easements/ Permits/ Right-of-Way - The proposed location of the pylon sign will require the vacation of public drainage & utility easement. The developer should be responsible for petitioning the City for the vacation of the easement. The development should be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits from regulatory agencies, including Williams Brothers Pipeline, prior to building permit approval. Tree Preservation - There are no tree preservation issues relative to this development proposal. Parks and Recreation - This development is responsible for cash park and trail dedications due at the time of building permit at the rates then in effect. The 2007 park rates are $1,737 per 1,000 square feet of building and the trail rates are $1,251 per net acre. Airport Noise Considerations - The subject property lies outside of the airport noise exposure zones established by the Metropolitan Council. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Prime Security Bank is proposing to amend the Preliminary Planned Development for Lot 1, Block 1, Safari at Eagan 3rd Addition by changing the approved use from a theater/restaurant to a bank/office. The use appears compatible with surrounding uses; however, the proposal includes some deviations from development standards in the Preliminary Planned Development and from typical commercial zoning standards. ~7 . Planning Report - Planned Development Amendment (Prime Security Bank) March 27, 2007 Page 7 City policymakers shall determine whether the proposed change in use is acceptable and whether to accept the proposed deviations as part of the Planned Development approval use of different architectural materials than specified in the City Code; 20 foot light poles; detached trash enclosure; freestanding sign spacing less than 300 feet; and a pylon sign placed at zero setback. The proposed sign location would not be allowed unless the applicant receives approval for the vacation of a portion of the easement. Approval of the Planned Development Amendment would simultaneously constitute approval of a Final Planned Development. Execution of a Final Planned Development Agreement will be required prior to issuance of a building permit. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Planned Development Amendment to change the approved use from restaurant/theatre to a commercial bank on property located at 1595 Thomas Center Drive, legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Safari at Eagan 3rd Addition, in the SW '/4 of Section 28. Approval of the Planned Development Amendment also constitutes approval of the Final Planned Development. If approved the following conditions shall apply: 1. A Final Planned Development shall be required and an agreement be prepared and recorded at the Dakota County Recorder's Office prior to issuance of a building permit. The following plans are required for the Final Planned Development: • Final Site Plan • Final Landscape Plan • Final Building Elevations • Final Signage Plan • Final Site Lighting Plan 2. The trash enclosure shall be attached to the building. 3. Building materials shall meet current code standards, including percentages of materials used. 4. Light standards shall not exceed 18 foot pole heights. 5. There shall be no security lights on the buildings. 6. Signage shall comply with City Sign Code requirements. 7. A revised Landscape Plan shall be submitted to match the plant schedule with the plantings shown on the plan. 8.

The buildings main level will house the primary banking operations including two lanes of drive-thru with a third lane for by- pass of traffic and utility vehicles. The banks ATM will be located in the main entry vestibule. The second level of the building would provide lease space for synergistic tenants and allow future space for the bank to grow into. A basement level is planned for record storage and mechanical. Proposed ground breaking for this project would be the spring of 2007 with completion in the fall of 2007. The surrounding land uses to the north and east of the site are commercial in nature including Lifetime Fitness, a retail strip mall, restaurant, business office, and gas/ convenience store. The property to the south and west of the site is residentially developed with single-family and town homes. The bank will be an added service to the retail commercial district, and will provide commercial and retail banking services to the area while having a minimal impact on City utilities and other services. The development of this last lot in the plat will allow this property to be utilized for one of its highest and best uses, will be the catalyst for the completion of the City regional holding pond, and provide a professional banking service business that can be utilized by both residential and business in the immediate neighborhood. The existing vacant platted lot has numerous inherent challenges in order to make a project viable. There is a large fuel pipeline easement bisecting the lot from north to south, currently owned by Magellan Pipeline Company. The lot is approximately 2.6 acres in size and has a substantial topography change from east to west. In addition, the lot has a large drainage easement at its south end to allow for the construction of a City regional storm water detention pond. In addition, a shared access easement and parking/drive easement with the lot immediately to the north limit site design and usage. The owner's development requires a pylon sign, and the only practical location for this sign is at the southeast corner of the lot, due to the orientation of the Magellan pipeline easement and the holding pond easement. Current City ordinance requires pylon signs to have a minimum separation of 300 feet. There is currently a pylon sign at the east corner of Thomas Center Drive and Cliff Road at a gas/convenience store. Our planned sign location will not allow us to maintain the 300 foot separation due to the planned holding pond and the Magellan pipeline easement. Pylon signs also require a ten foot setback from the property line. We are requesting our sign be allowed to be positioned at the south property line due to the requirement of maintaining a ten foot maintenance distance from an existing City storm water line. The placement of our sign will require the vacation of a small portion of the City drainage easement to allow for its construction and maintenance. EVISED 102- REIT!9 7 2007 -2- City ordinances encourage trash enclosures to be attached to the main building where feasible. We have designed a remote trash enclosure into our plans due to the design constraints of the sites ingress and egress coupled with the drive-thru around the west and south sides of the building. It would be impractical and unsafe to have refuse pickup interfere with the safe flow of traffic through the drive-thru lanes and cross pedestrian traffic entering or exiting the building. The trash enclosure would be constructed with the same masonry materials utilized on the building and be well screened with landscaping. Finally, a conditional use is required for the construction and use of the drive-thru. We have worked very hard to develop a plan that will allow this site to be utilized for one of its highest and best uses. We have met with City staff on many occasions, have had discussions with Magellan Pipeline representatives, and many planning sessions with the future owners in order to develop a plan that meets the objectives of all parties concerned. Through many meetings, discussions, and compromises we feel we have a great plan that will give the community a quality project. Thank you for your consideration.

THOMSON EXPANSION PROJECT - REQUEST THAT COUNCIL CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve a resolution requesting that the City Council call for a Public Hearing on the proposed establishment of a Project Plan and Economic Development Tax Increment Financing District for the potential expansion of the Thomson-West's Eagan Campus. FACTS: • Thomson-West is considering the expansion of its facilities located at 610 Opperman Drive in Eagan. The project anticipates the potential development of a 425,000 s.f. office building that will permit the addition of 2,000 jobs to the community. The company is also considering the addition of a third 80,000 s.f. data center on the campus. • The City Council has received a request from Thomson-West for consideration of support the project. At its meeting of March 6, 2007, the City Council received an overview of the project by the Company - a project summary is among the attachments listed below. At that time, the City Council approved a resolution supporting the passage of legislation to permit the City to consider the establishment of a nine year economic development tax increment financing district to provide local public financing assistance for the project. • City staff and consultants have begun to perform the preliminary work necessary for the consideration of the district if the legislation is adopted. In order to consider the district, the City Council will need to schedule and hold a public hearing for that purpose. • Under the City's EDA structure, the EDA must request that the Council schedule the hearing. The action before the EDA is to formally ask that the City Council, at its next meeting, consider scheduling a public hearing for that purpose.

THOMSON PROJECT SUMMARY April 4, 2007 BACKGROUND ➢ Thomson representatives approached City staff in August 2006 regarding their possible need for space to accommodate internal growth, as well as the potential consolidation of a number of company-wide functions into a single location. They indicated that the Thomson campus in Eagan was one of three sites under consideration for the facility. ➢ Preliminary discussions were held through the fall regarding potential public financing assistance, with the understanding that any formal discussions, actions or commitments regarding project approvals or assistance would need to be made by the City Council. ➢ In January 2007, the City Council received a briefing regarding the prospective project in anticipation of the Council's receiving a formal request for assistance from Thomson. That request is before the City Council at this time. At this time, Thomson is requesting that the City take action to support special legislation that would make the project eligible for tax increment financing assistance under a nine year Economic Development District. Representatives of Thomson will be at Tuesday's meeting to make a presentation regarding the project. PROJECT OVERVIEW ➢ The Thomson campus in Eagan employs 1,200 technologists and more than 1,000 attorneys. There are currently 6,800 employees and contractors at the Eagan location, including 800 net additional employees since mid-2004. Most new jobs are in the technology and product development fields. ➢ The company has remodeled its facilities several times to accommodate the growth and is nearing capacity in its existing buildings. Within the expansion project, the company anticipates growth of approximately 300 jobs per year for the next four years. In addition, Thomson is contemplating the consolidation of a number of enterprise-wide support positions into a shared-services environment, which would house an additional 800 employees and the Eagan campus is under consideration for that expansion as an alternative to distributing the jobs in other locations. If Eagan is chosen as the site of the expansion, the new facility is anticipated to add 425,000 square feet of office space to the existing development and will represent an investment of approximately $50 million. In addition, the company is considering construction of a third data center on the site. Although the data center is 80,000 s.£ in size, the combination of the building and the equipment it would house would be an investment of an additional $50 million. Buildings of the scale proposed have been anticipated in the existing Thomson Planned Development. The company is coordinating its planning and decision making to start construction in 2007. PROJECT ASSISTANCE ➢ During the fall, the company requested that City staff work with representatives of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) to prepare background information and a proposal for the project. Based on the job creation and private investment potential created by the project, the state coordinated a proposal and outlined a number of state sources for public financing assistance, training assistance and other resources. ➢ Among the potential sources of assistance noted in the proposal was special legislation to permit the City to consider creation of a TIF economic development district. The state has passed such legislation in the past for other large expansion or location projects, when the projects present clear benefit to the state, but fall outside of the strict definitions in current law. l ~ . ➢ The City considers potential public financing assistance for economic development projects under its Business Assistance and Tax Increment Financing policies. For economic development projects, the policies consider the creation or retention of jobs at or above 80% of the County's median income ($62,800 compared to a $78,500 median in 2006). The project anticipates the creation and/or retention of 2,000 jobs with incomes averaging $70,000. ➢ In working with the state and the company on the proposal, staff indicated that a commitment to City support for such legislation and consideration of the creation of a district could only be authorized by the City Council and, until the Council could take action in its regard, any representations regarding those issues would be speculative. ➢ Based on discussions between City staff, Thomson and Dakota County staff, the Company is requesting legislation for a district permitting nine years of collections. Under the TIF statute, Economic Development Districts permit no more than 15% of an assisted project to consist of office. The draft legislation would waive that requirement. ➢ The legislation, if passed, would permit the proposal to be defined as an eligible project under the statute. If the legislation is adopted, the City would still perform all procedural steps necessary to consider creation of a TIF district and would negotiate with the company a business assistance agreement and TIF development agreement to cover the performance of the improvements, confirmation of job creation and the level of public financing assistance to be provided. CURRENTSTATUS ➢ Legislation has been introduced relative to the elements of the proposed state assistance package for the project and the authorization for City consideration of an economic development TIF district. Those bills are receiving hearings at this time. /`r~r l DRAFT SCHEDULE OF EVENTS (as of March 5, 2007) EAGAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND THE CITY OF EAGAN DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA FOR THE PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF THE THOMSON EXPANSION PROJECT PLAN AND THE PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 3-1 (a special legislation economic development TIF district with a 9 year term) March 6, 2007 City Council approves resolution supporting enabling legislation to permit TIF for Thomson West expansion and authorizing preliminary activities.
