Special City Council Minutes August 14, 2007 Page 2 AUGUST 11 STORM UPDATE City Administrator Hedges introduced the item noting the significant windstorm that occurred at approximately 3:30 a.m. on August 11, 2007. Public Works Director Colbert provided an overview of the City's response to the storm. Police Chief McDonald, Fire Chief Scott and Communications Director Garrison also provided updates on the City's efforts. Mayor Maguire summarized his role on the weekend of August 11, including the ongoing communications with the Emergency Operations Center and the surveying of the City that was done over the weekend to witness the damage that was done across the City. The Mayor also noted the City's long standing practice of not picking up debris on private property unless a federal or state disaster has been declared in the community. The Mayor stated that an emergency City Council meeting took place on August 13, at which time the Council directed staff to maintain the ongoing storm debris pickup policy as well as provided direction to the Police to use the City's priority messaging system to inform all Eagan residents about the City's policy. The Mayor apologized for the lateness that some residents received the message, noting that this was the first time the City's Reverse 9-1-1 System was used City-wide and there clearly was a glitch in the system provided by Qwest. The City Council thanked City staff for their work over the past weekend. Mayor Maguire invited the public to address the Council with questions or comments. Eight members of the Eagan community addressed the City Council noting concerns and disappointment with the City's policy of not picking up storm debris. It was also noted that there was inconsistency in which debris was being picked up by City maintenance staff and which was not. Residents noted that communities such as St. Paul and Bloomington were picking up storm debris on private property. There were also comments that City staff, over the weekend, told some residents that staff would be back in the following weeks to pick up all debris. Councilmember Carlson left the meeting at 6:25 p.m. City Administrator Hedges and Superintendent of Streets Struve responded to questions raised by residents. Superintendent of Streets Struve noted that maintenance crews were instructed to clear the right-of-ways and then go back to pick up boulevard trees and debris once all streets were cleared. Communications Director Garrison noted that web postings were completed by 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 12, informing residents that the City would not be picking up debris on private property. Garrison also added that residents needing assistance with debris could contact the United Way's 2-1-1 line, or the Community Action Council or Dakota County Community Development Agency. The City Council discussed their current practice of not picking up debris on private property without a disaster declaration. Mayor Maguire noted that it would require two members of the City Council to get an agenda item on a future Council meeting to consider changing the City's storm debris pickup policy for the future. io Special City Council Minutes August 14, 2007 Page 3 The City Council thanked Eagan residents for the spirit of cooperation that has been exhibited following this storm. It was noted that information is available on the City's web site regarding who residents can contact for assistance with storm cleanup efforts. B. QWEST UPDATE City Administrator Hedges introduced the item noting that the City's Reverse 9-1-1 System was utilized for the first time City-wide following the August I I storm to communicate to residents the City's policy with regard to storm debris cleanup. Hedges added that the message was supposed to be completed within approximately one-half hour beginning at 8:30 p.m.; however, due to a glitch, some residents received calls much later than that. The City Council discussed the glitch that occurred with the system. It was noted that this system is a'very useful public safety tool; however, staff must continue to work with Qwest Communications to find out why the glitch occurred, which was very bothersome to City residents. The City Council also discussed future timing when communicating messages to the public with the Reverse 9-1-1 System. The City Council took a brief recess. III. REVIEW PROPOSED 2008 GENERAL FUND OPERATING BUDGET City Administrator Hedges introduced the item noting that the purpose of tonight is to provide direction regarding the 2008 proposed tax levy, which will be placed on the September 4, 2007 regular City Council meeting agenda for approval and certification to Dakota County.

Mr. Hedges highlighted the proposed 2008 General Fund Budget, noting a proposed increase of 4.87 percent. The City Council discussed the proposed 2008 General Fund Operating Budget. The Council also discussed levying for the Market Value Homestead Credit (MVHC) payable in 2008. It was Council consensus to levy for the MVHC for 2008. The Council also recommended prorating election costs over multiple years in order that there are not spikes in the proposed budget every other year. The City Council thanked staff for their work on the proposed budget. IV. 2008 CIVIC ARENA OPERATING BUDGET City Administrator Hedges introduced the item noting that the Civic Arena Budget is presented in advance of the other Enterprise Funds due to the fact that the Civic Arena operations are run on a seasonal basis starting in September as opposed to the calendar year. The City Council reviewed the proposed Civic Arena Budget, including the proposed rate increases for ice time. The Council thanked staff for their work on the budget. 'f Special City Council Minutes August 14, 2007 Page 4 Councilmember Bakken moved; Councilmember Fields seconded a motion to: approve the 2007-2008 ice rental rates, approve the 2008 Civic Arena Operating Budget, and approve the 2007 purchase of 2008 capital outlay items.

DISCUSS COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FUND STATUS AND CONSIDERATION OF ALLOCATION FOR OPEN SPACE PRESERVATION City Administrator Hedges introduced the item noting that at the direction of the City Council at their June 12 Council Workshop, the City Council's Finance Committee has reviewed the current status of the Community Investment Fund (CIF) and has also discussed the framework for the possible funding of open space preservation. Hedges noted the numerous operational and programmatic needs competing for funding within the CIF. Hedges added that it is the recommendation of the Finance Committee that $60,000 be earmarked from the CIF towards open space preservation. Included in the $60,000 would be an estimate of; $6,000 to $7,000 for a public open space survey, $30,000 for a special election, $10,000 for informational materials, and $10,000 to hold an option on available property. The City Council discussed the purpose and needs for the CIF. The Mayor noted that while it is being proposed that funding be set aside for a possible referendum, no decision has been made as to whether a referendum would take place with regard to the acquisition of open space. The City Council discussed a possible community survey to get feedback from the community regarding open space preservation and acquisition. Director of Parks and Recreation Seydell Johnson summarized a possible timeline for the preservation of open space, including the formation of a community committee, based upon the similar process used for the Community Center and per the recommendation of the Trust for Public Land. The City Council discussed the recommendation of the Finance Committee with regard to open space funding. It was suggested that a working committee of the City Council be formed to create a flow chart/decision tree of possible next steps with regard to the preservation of open space, which would allow flexibility for the City Council while not presupposing an outcome. It was noted that once the committee came up with a recommended vision for open space preservation, the committee would then be dissolved. Councilmember Tilley moved; Councilmember Fields seconded a motion to appoint Mayor Maguire, representing the Finance Committee, and Councilmember Bakken, representing the Public Works Committee, to serve on an open space acquisition Council committee, which will provide a roadmap for future open space acquisition using an allocation from the Community Investment Fund, as recommended by the Finance Committee.

Notary Public 20 Agenda Information Memo September 4, 2007 Eagan City Council Meeting F. APPROVE PROPOSAL FOR ELECTRONIC SECURITY ACCESS SYSTEM CONTRACT ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Award the contract to UHL Company for the purchase, installation, training and maintenance of the Police Department, City Hall and Fire Administration Electronic Security Access System. FACTS: • Over the past couple years the city staff has been researching ways to better secure city buildings and personnel. The city shops, utility department and the five remote fire buildings have all updated their electronic security access systems. • Early in 2007 the City was advised that once the Dakota Dispatch Center (DCC) migrates to their remote center, they would no longer control the prisoner intake garage doors. Panic or hold up alarms will also need to be updated to send an automated call to the DCC. • The FBI's Criminal Justice Information Systems (CJIS) policy mandates that departments with computers that access their databases provide security for said computers. This includes limiting access to only those employees/persons who have submitted to criminal background checks. • The City of Eagan advertised and invited bidders to submit sealed quotations for the Electronic Security Access System. At 1:30 p.m. on August 13, 2007, formal bids were received for the system and the City Clerk received two sealed bids from separate companies. • UHL Company's bid for this project came in as the low bid. • The bid has been reviewed for compliance with the desired specifications that were included in the Request for Proposal. This bid is believed to be in order for favorable Council action. Acceptance of the bid would be finalized upon review of the Eagan City Attorney. • Funding will be from the City's general facilities renewal and replacement fund.

The use of this facility helped us provide a joyful holiday for 1,677 families as well as providing community engagement for over 800 volunteers and sponsors. CAC services like Armful of Love are an important way to build community involvement and civic awareness about the needs of our neighbors. Thanks to community partners such as the City of Eagan, the use of the Cedarvale Mall allowed Armful of Love to be more accessible to families, volunteers and sponsors. We hope you will consider allowing Community Action Council to have the use of the All American Recreation facility for Armful of Love for the 2007 season.

RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE QUESTION OF A PROPOSED CITY CHARTER TO A CITY SPECIAL ELECTION AND APPROVING THE TITLE FOR THE BALLOT QUESTION WAIVE THE COST FOR DISSEMINATION OF THE PROPOSED CHARTER AND APPROVE THE STATEMENT OF DISCLOSURE PER THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY ATTORNEY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve a resolution directing the question of a proposed City Charter to a City Special Election and approve the title, "DECISION ON WHETHER TO CHANGE EAGAN' S FORM OF GOVERNMENT", for the ballot question on the proposed Charter. To waive the cost for dissemination of the proposed Charter and approve the statement of disclosure per the recommendation of the City Attorney. FACTS: ➢ On August 21, 2007, the Eagan Charter Commission submitted a draft Charter to the City Clerk. Minnesota Statute 410.10 states, "Upon delivery of such draft, the council or other governing body of the city shall cause the proposed charter to be submitted at the next general election thereafter occurring in the city within six months after the delivery of such draft, and if there is no general city election occurring in the city within six months after the delivery of such draft, then the council or other governing body of the city shall cause the proposed charter to be submitted at a special election to be held within 90 days after the delivery of such draft." ➢ Since no general election is scheduled to occur within six months of August 21, 2007, the Council has the discretion to set the special election date; however, they must set a date for the special election to meet the statutory requirement of a 53-day notice to the County Auditor and to meet the statutory requirement for holding a special election within 90 days of submittal of the proposed Charter. Therefore, if official action is taken at the City Council meeting on September 4 to set a special election, it can be held no earlier than October 27 to provide the required 53-day notice and no later than November 19 to meet the 90-day requirement. In the event the end dates are to be considered, staff would request a legal review to ensure that the calculation is consistent with the intent of the statutes. The impact of the 27th being a Saturday has not been reviewed. ➢ School District 196 and 197 will both be conducting elections on November 6. ISD 196 voters will vote for school board members and ISD 197 voters will vote for school board members and on two referendum questions. School District 191 will be making a decision about a referendum question at their September 6 School Board meeting. Included with the proposed Charter, was a transmittal from Erik Hedtke, Chair of the Charter Commission, noting the intent of the Commission that the question be presented in concert with the school elections. While one election is certainly cheaper than two, there will clearly be cost shifting from the school districts to the City resulting from the legal requirement for the City to conduct the special election. ➢ With regard to ballot content for the special election, the ballot is required to bear the printed words: "Shall the proposed new charter be adopted? Yes.... No...." The ballot question is also required to contain a title to accurately describe the question asked. As was the case when the Charter was presented to the voters in 2004, per the City Attorney, the appropriate title is "DECISION ON WHETHER TO CHANGE EAGAN'S FORM OF GOVERNMENT". ➢ The City has a legal obligation to publish once per week for two successive weeks in the Thisweek Newspapers (the official newspaper of the City) the Notice of Election together with the complete Charter. If the Council sets the date of the election for November 6, publication of the Notice of Election and the complete Charter will occur on October 20 and October 27. ➢ Per the City Attorney, the City as an organization does not have any legal responsibility to review the draft Charter for consistency with the existing statutes or potential conflicts. Additionally, the City Council is permitted to present disclaimers as to the source of the draft Charter and the involvement of the Council in the Charter preparation. Unless otherwise directed by the Council, staff will proceed as directed in 2004 by the City Attorney regarding the dissemination of the proposed Charter by posting an electronic copy of the Charter on the City website with the following statement: "The City of Eagan and the Eagan City Council are not responsible for the content of this document." The same disclaimer will appear when the Charter is published for two consecutive weeks in the legal newspaper. Note: The Commission representative challenged the statement of no employee involvement being included in the disclaimer as written in 2004. The Director of Administrative Services was directed to attend Commission meetings and did assist in writing some of the financial provisions. Therefore, the City Attorney is recommending that the disclaimer be modified accordingly as noted above. ➢ For citizens who request a paper copy of the Charter, the City Attorney has recommended that the paper copy be provided and should include with it the same disclaimer from the City as is associated with the electronic copy on the City's web site and the published Charter in the newspaper. The City Attorney has also recommended that the copies of the Charter be provided free of charge, which is consistent with the City's past practices of providing information on referendums at no cost. If someone should ask for a copy pursuant to a data practices request, and pays for the copy, the material should be provided without the disclaimer. ➢ Since it is not directly related to the election, staff has not researched implementation issues in the event the charter is approved by the voters. It can probably be assumed that there would be some conflicts between the new charter, the current City Code, and existing City policies and practices. The proposed charter contains a Chapter on Transition, Amendment, and Severability; however, it has not been reviewed as to impact on the existing City governance. ➢ Councilmember Carlson has suggested that the City Council may wish to take official action to amend the 2007 General Fund Budget to incorporate a $30,000 increase to the City Clerk Department to provide for the estimated cost of this election. The $30,000 does not include any notices or voter education which, if desired would increase the cost of the Special Election per the next bullet. ➢ If the special election is held on November 6 in concert with the school elections, the City Council may want to consider the extent of voter notification regarding the combined elections. The City Council may wish to consider official action directing staff to prepare an election notice to be mailed with a fact sheet (potentially a Q and A) to Eagan registered S5 voters informing them of the Special Election and resulting voting location. The notice would be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and presented to the City Council for review at a subsequent meeting. There are 39,353 registered voters in Eagan.

CITY OF EAGAN CITY COUNCIL By: Its Mayor Attest: Its City Clerk Motion made by: Seconded by: Those in favor: Those against: Dated: CERTIFICATION I, Maria Petersen, City Clerk of the City of Eagan, Dakota County, Minnesota, do hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was duly passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Eagan, Dakota County, Minnesota, in a regular meeting thereof assembled this 4th day of September, 2007. Maria Petersen, City Clerk SEVERSON, SHELDON, DOUGHERTY & MOLENDA, P.A. TO: Tom Hedges, City Administrator FROM: Michael G. Dougherty, City Attorney DATE: August 29, 2007 RE: Proposed Charter for City of Eagan Our File No. 206-26887 I am in receipt of your letter addressed to Erik Hedtke, Chair of the Eagan Charter Commission, in which you acknowledge receipt of the proposed charter for the City of Eagan on Tuesday, August 21, 2007. Your letter identifies six issues which may or may not be legal questions, but which you sought answers or interpretations. Below is my response relative to the identified questions: 1. This is a question that would be answered through the Secretary of State's office. 2. It is my understanding that the City has received a document bearing the heading of "Certificate of Delivery" which shows that ten members of the Commission have executed a statement that the delivered charter was adopted by a majority of the Commission. While I do not doubt that the faxed page is genuine copy, the City should procure an original for its records. 3. The delivery of the charter to the City requires the City to schedule a special election in accordance with the statutes. 4. The City has a legal obligation to publish once per week for two successive weeks in the Thisweek Newspapers (the official newspaper of the City) the Notice of Election together with the complete charter. Though not required; the Council is authorized by statute to publish the Notice of Election in any other legal newspaper published in the City. 5. The ballot shall bear the printed words: "Shall the proposed new charter be adopted? Yes....... No....... " The ballot shall contain a square after each of the last two words in which the voter may place a cross to express a choice. If any part of the charter is submitted in the alternative, the ballot shall 40 be so printed so as to permit the voter to indicate a preference in any instance by inserting a cross in like manner. Minnesota Rules require that the ballot question contain a title to accurately describe the question asked. The title must be printed in upper case letters and must be printed above the question to which it refers. As in the earlier case of the presentation of a charter to the voters, the appropriate title is "DECISION ON WHETHER TO CHANGE EAGAN'S FORM OF GOVERNMENT". 6. The City as an organization does not have any legal responsibility to review the draft charter for consistency with the existing statutes or potential conflicts. 7. The City Council is permitted to present disclaimers as to the source of the draft charter and the involvement of the Council in the charter preparation. If you have any questions, please give me a call. MGD/j It cc: Gene VanOverbeke, Director of Administrative Services ~1 City of Eapn August 22, 2007 Mike Maguire MAYOR Paul Bakken Mr. Erik L.

It is staff's understanding, confirmed in conversations with the Secretary of www.cityofeagan.com State's Office, that the City will become responsible for conducting the election including all school district balloting in Eagan, if a special election is scheduled for November 6, 2007. That will shift all election costs to the City away from the districts, essentially eliminating any financial benefit from holding the special election on that date. THE LONE OAK TREE 2.

The goal of the project is to provide outdoor seating at our restaurant location. This would require the removal of a portion of the sod between the curb and concrete sidewalk on the side of our portion of the building. In addition, we would remove the mulch and several sparse shrubs between the sidewalk and the building. These areas would be replaced with a level concrete surface, to match the existing concrete sidewalk in place currently. Upon approval of our proposal submittal, we estimate the project will take one week. Neither Potbelly Sandwich Works nor any surrounding businesses would need to close during this work. The surrounding land and zoning uses on both the property as well as within 660 feet are prirrarily retail. We share the subject property with Blockbuster Video. The addition of our outdoor seating will have no impact the surrounding properties and will conform to the character of the area. The amendment will allow us to enhance the value of the subject property and add visual interest to the exterior of the building, as well as attract more people to the retail area. There is no impact to the city services, and the proposed amendment will conform to the applicable regulations and standards as well as local health and food safety issues.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT - GRAND OAK FARMERS MARKET ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve (or direct Findings of Fact for Denial) a Planned Development Amendment to allow a seasonal Farmers Market at the Grand Oak Office Building located at 2805 Dodd Road, legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Grand Oak Five, in the NE'/4 of Section 2, subject to the conditions listed in the APC minutes. REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: At least three votes. FACTS: ➢ The Grand Oak Office building, constructed in 2006, is three stories and 90,000 square feet. ➢ The applicant proposes a seasonal Farmers Market to commence on the third Thursday of August and continue on successive Thursdays through October. ➢ Hours of operation are proposed to be 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. ➢ The market is proposed to occupy 20 parking stalls for 10 vendor booths on the east side of the parking lot adjacent to the Dodd Road frontage road. Parking is sufficient. ➢ Vendors will sell produce, flowers and food. Three Grand Oak tenants will also sell ready made food and non-alcoholic beverages. ➢ The Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 28, 2007 and is recommending approval. ISSUES: ➢ The applicant has proposed many deviations from the Sign Ordinance. Both staff and the APC shared concerns regarding the precedent the proposed deviations could set if the applicant's sign plan were approved. ➢ APC members also commented on the significant effort by the Commission and Council to define appropriate standards for temporary signage and the importance of consistency applying those standards. 60 DAY AGENCY ACTION DEADLINE: September 15, 2007 ATTACHMENTS (3): August 28, 2007 APC Minutes on s e-through Staff Report, pages~~ through a e Letter from applicant dated August 29, 2007 on pages through `)S Advisory Planning Commission Minutes August 28, 2007 C.

File Number: 02-PA-10-07-07 Planner Thomas introduced this item and highlighted the information presented in the City Staff report dated August 21, 2007. She noted the background and history. Karen Ryan, Interstate Partners, discussed the deviations from the Sign Ordinance. She discussed the inability of customers to find the farmers market due to lack of signage. She shared that Interstate Partners does not see the same day signage as "off-premise" since the development was built to function as a cohesive business park. She further stated they plan to post the main sign on the subject site in the Grand Oak Business Park for the duration of the eleven weeks and that the other signage would be posted and removed only on Thursdays, for 11 weeks. Chair Hansen opened the public hearing. Roy Wallace spoke in favor of the proposed PD Amendment. There being no public further comment, Chair Hansen closed the public hearing and turned the discussion back to the Commission. Member Dugan stated he will be abstaining from voting on the item. City Attorney Bauer commented that signage could not be posted on property that wasn't commonly held by Interstate Partners. In response to a question by the Commission, staff explained the issue of precedent the requested deviations from the Sign Ordinance would bring and that the City should avoid providing relief to the standards because randomly picking and choosing who would be allowed deviations and who would not be afforded the same consideration would likely get the City sideways in the very near future. Member Chavez stated that a significant amount of effort, by both the Commission and City Council, recently went into to creating reasonable temporary sign regulations. He opined that deviating from those requirements would be ill-advised. Member Chavez moved, Member seconded a motion to recommend approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow a Farmers Market at the Grand Oak Office Building located at 2805 Dodd Road, legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Grand Oak Five, in the NE of Section 2 subject to the following conditions: 1. A Planned Development Amendment Agreement shall be executed and recorded at the Dakota County Recorder's Office prior to issuance of a building permit. _`f' Advisory Planning Commission Minutes August 28, 2007 2.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW PD Amendment: 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. BACKGROUND/HISTORY In 2004, the City Council approved a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to change the designation from Special Area 2-Business Park to Special Area 2-Office/Service, a Rezoning of approximately 13.5 acres from Business Park to Planned Development (to allow two office buildings, a bank and two retail/service buildings) and a Preliminary Subdivision of approximately 13.5 acres to create four lots. In 2006, the City Council approved a Planned Development Amendment to allow up to 25,000 SF of healthcare facilities between Grand Oak IX and Grand Oak X office buildings. Planning Report - August 28, 2007 Grand Oak Farmers Market Page 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS Interstate Partners, LLC acquired the City-owned (formerly TMI/Imre) property in the area and constructed the three-story Grand Oak X office building (90,000 SF) in 2006. SURROUNDING USES The subject property is surrounded with office and office/warehouse uses consisting of Business Park Zoning and Special Area Land Use Designations. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Description of Proposal - The applicant is proposing a Farmers Market to serve the Eagan area, those within the Grand Oak Business Park area and also to provide an opportunity for local farmers to sell their produce. The market is proposed to run for eleven consecutive weeks, beginning on the third Thursday of August and running through October. The proposed hours of operation are from 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. The market is proposed to occupy 20 parking stalls for the 10 vendor spaces along the east perimeter of the parking lot for the use of vendors as well as three retail tenants at the Shops of Grand Oak: Jimmy Johns, Time Out Bar and Restaurant, and Caribou Coffee. These three establishments would sell ready made food and non-alcoholic beverages in addition to the produce, food and flowers that the farmers will have for sale at the market. Si ng_age - An overall signage plan for the subject property was approved on April 5, 2005. Any signs that were not included in the signage plan are subject to the requirements of the City of Eagan Sign Ordinance. The applicant has requested significant deviations from the Sign Ordinance which include the following: 1. Five free standing signs. City Code allows a maximum of up to three signs, with a combined area no greater than 25 square feet. Further, temporary signage is required to be attached to a building or to existing permanent freestanding signage located only on the property hosting the temporary event. Due to the nature of the temporary event, staff believes the free standing signs are a reasonable deviation, however the maximum number of signs should not exceed three. 2. Off premise signage. City Code prohibits off premise signage. Signs are only allowed on the property at 2805 Dodd Road (Grand Oak X building). ~q Planning Report - August 28, 2007 Grand Oak Farmers Market Page 3 3. Two signs are proposed to be 3' x 6' on 4"x 4" x 10' posts. The top of the sign would be eight feet above the ground along the Dodd Road Boulevard. Signs are not allowed within the right-of-way, the sign face must not be taller than four feet and the overall height, including support structure/base, less than seven feet. 4. Signage for the day of the event is proposed to remain in place for the eleven week period. Sign(s) may be posted for a period no greater than 10 days out of a 60 day period. Therefore, a sign permit should allow the sign(s) to be placed for the day of the event only. Each vendor is allowed a 4' x 4' sign which must be affixed to their display booth. Parking - The existing parking lot provides sufficient parking for the office building. The removal of 20 stalls for use by the vendors as well as customer parking should not create a shortage of parking stalls. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed amendment allows a Farmers Market on the perimeter of the property to occur for eleven weeks during late August through October. The proposed signage includes many deviations from Sign Ordinance standards and City Policymakers shall determine if the deviations are acceptable. Staff has concerns that these deviations from the Sign Ordinance may set a precedent for other businesses in this immediate area and city-wide to also seek a departure from City signage standards. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow a Farmers Market at the Grand Oak Office Building located at 2805 Dodd Road, legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Grand Oak Five, in the NE 1/4 of Section 2. If approved the following conditions shall apply: 1. A Planned Development Amendment Agreement shall be executed and recorded at the Dakota County Recorder's Office prior to issuance of a building permit. 2. The Farmers Market shall commence annually on the third Thursday of August and continue on successive Thursdays through October. 3. Hours of operation shall be from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. 4. The vendor location shall be per the site plan received August 13, 2007. 5. The farmers market shall include farmers produce, food and flowers as well as ready made food and non-alcoholic beverages from local restaurants, not to exceed 10 vendors. 0 Planning Report - August 28, 2007 Grand Oak Farmers Market Page 4 6. The applicant shall submit a revised Sign Plan that is consistent with the requirements of the City of Eagan Sign Ordinance. No additional sign permit shall be required.

The market is to run for eleven consecutive weeks commencing on the third Thursday of August and running through October. The hours of operation are from 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Arrangements have been made with at least ten (10) local vendors to bring their produce, food, and flowers, to the Grand Oak Farmers Market. Each vendor will have one (1) stall that will consist of two (2) side by side parking spaces (17' wide) and all items must be contained within the stall (see attached Exhibit A). Vendors are expected to be self supporting (i.e. gas powered generators, tables, canopies, bags) and are to clean up after themselves. A $100 deposit will required from all vendors, which will be returned to them at the end of the marketplace services if the vendor has been present at each Thursday market. All vendors will be expected to sign a vendor agreement. The market will be held in the east parking lot of Grand Oak Office X, located at 2805 Dodd Road as this property is already zoned Planned Development. Grand Oak Office X has cross easements with the two adjacent properties: Grand Oak Office IX and Grand Oak Retail, which are both zoned Planned Development. The market will not have any impact on the City services such as sewer, water, storm water run-off and roads and other than using up some parking stalls at Grand Oak Office X, the market will not adversely impact the functionality of the subject property or the adjacent properties. The main signage for the farmers market is intended to be freestanding seasonal sign with two panels three (3) feet wide and six (6) feet tall on three posts (see attached Exhibit B) and would be located in the south east corner of the building entrance off of Dodd Road (see attached Exhibit C). However, we would request a deviation from the code and ask that we would be allowed to place the main signage near the Grand Oak Business Park monument at the intersection of Dodd Road and Blue Gentian (see attached Exhibit D). The signage location is very essential to the success of the market and we believe the location of Dodd Road and Blue Gentian would provide the greatest visibility. In addition to the deviation of the location of the main sign, we would request that we would be allowed to have up to four (4) signs, three (3) feet by three (3) feet (see Exhibit C), to be placed off-premises on the day of the market only. The proposed placements of the signs are located on site plan attached as Exhibit D. The reason for the deviation of the code for these additional signs is that these signs would serve as a reminder to all tenants in the park as well as those traveling within the area that there is a farmers market on that day and therefore, very essential to the success of the market. We would also like to include in the farmers market the three retail tenants at the Shops of Grand Oak: Jimmy Johns, Time Out Bar & Restaurant, & Caribou Coffee. These three establishments would be selling ready made food and non-alcoholic beverages. We would incorporate their stands in the area of where the other vendors are. For the safety of the shoppers and the vendors, we plan to close down the drive lane in front of the area where the vendors would be set up as well as close down the first row of parking right just west of the drive lane. ~~I Interstate Partners LLc 860 Blue Gentian Road J Suite 175 J Eagan, MN 55121 J Tel: 651.406.8050 J Fax: 651.406.8628 J interstatepartners.com August 29, 2007 Mayor Mike Maguire Councilmember Paul Bakken Councilmember Peggy Carlson RECEIVED AUG 2 9 W Councilmember Cyndee Fields Councilmember Meg Tilley City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 Dear Mayor & Councilmembers: This letter is to address the decision of the planning commission last evening to deny our request for additional signage for our Thursday afternoon Grand Oak Farmers Market. First of all, we appreciate the approval and support for our farmers' market concept. We have invested a lot of time, money, and organizational activity to make sure that the market is well organized. The early results and feedback we have received have been very positive both from the business in our area as well as people who live in the area. Our need for additional signage arises from the fact that we are in an area that has many businesses but is short on retail support services. Employers want to have amenities and support services for their employees and that is why we have developed a small retail area and the farmers' market concept. Because we are not in a more traditional retail area, the business community needs to have more notice of these activities in our area as we cannot just rely on the normal synergies of our retail drawing people to our site. In reviewing our signage request, the planning commission has limited their interpretation of the site to a single building, Grand Oak Office X at 2805 Dodd Road, saying that any other portion of the Grand Oak Business Park would be "off premises." We find this position to be somewhat questionable especially when in 2004 the City Council approved our plans which allowed for two office buildings, a bank, and two retail/service buildings on this corner. Grand Oak Business Park, while legally it is 12 separate lots, operates as a cohesive development; therefore, we find it hard to understand why the very restrictive lot designation of 2805 Dodd Road should be imposed when the question is what temporary signage should be allowed. The Grand Oak Farmers Market brings benefit to the Eagan community and those who live and work in the community, and imposes no extra burdens on the City. Interstate Partners takes responsibility for all clean up and other matters and rightly so, since we want the Grand Oak Business Park to remain attractive and functional. We believe that coupling the one permanent sign and six temporary signs, strategically located on the Highway 55 and the Highway 149/Dodd Road sides of Grand Oak Business Park as well as along Blue Gentian Road and Blue Water Road would assist city residents & area employees in locating this attractive amenity and ease confusion and potential traffic hazards. All of the temporary signs would be up only on the days of market operation, one day a week, and all would be on property managed by Interstate Partners, not on any rights-of way. We would appreciate your consideration in this matter and I would be pleased to answer any questions you may have. , Z'AC Karen J. Ryan Property Manager Cc: Mike Ridley Sarah Thomas Gregory S.

REZONING AND FINAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT - DAKOTA COUNTY CDA ACTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve (OR direct preparation of findings of fact for denial) a Rezoning from R-4, Residential Multiple, to PD, Planned Development, of approximately 6.13 acres located at 2065 Park Center Drive, in the SE '/4 of Section 30. To approve (OR direct preparation of findings of fact for denial) a Final Planned Development to allow construction of a new 55-unit 3-story apartment building for persons aged 55 and older upon approximately 6.13 acres located at 2065 Park Center Drive, in the SE '/4 of Section 30, subject to the conditions listed in the APC minutes. REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: Majority of Council Members Present FACTS: ➢ The existing 65-unit building was constructed in 1991 and R-4 zoning applied at that time. Dakota County CDA is now proposing to construct an additional 55-unit building. ➢ The Rezoning to PD is requested to accommodate two principal buildings on one lot without subdivision, building height over 35 feet, density greater than the R-4 standards, and parking of less than 2 stalls per unit. ➢ Final PD approval of the development plans for the new building is also requested. ➢ The two buildings will be managed and operated by the CDA as one complex. ➢ The proposed building is three stories with underground parking. ➢ Both buildings will utilize the current driveway access from Park Center Drive. ➢ The new building will utilize many of the same finish materials and architectural features and colors as the existing building. ➢ The main entrances of the buildings will face each other across a central car court which allows for drop-offs and pick-ups. ➢ The preliminary plans appear to comply with the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance and civil plans (i.e. grading, drainage, utilities, etc.) appear to be acceptable. Final reviews and compliance will be confirmed with the building permit application for this project. ➢ A public hearing was held on August 28, 2007 and the APC recommended approval. 60-DAY AGENCY ACTION DEADLINE: September 30, 2007 ATTACHMENTS (2): August 28, 2007, APC Minutes, page through W_ Planning Report, pages through qa Advisory Planning Commission Minutes August 28, 2007 D.

Motion carried: 6-0. -6 T PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: August 22, 2007 CASE: 30-RZ-04-07-07 30-FD-07-07-07 APPLICANT: Dakota County CDA HEARING DATE: August 28, 2007 PROPERTY OWNER: Dakota County CDA APPLICATION DATE: August 1, 2007 REQUEST: Rezoning and Final PD PREPARED BY: Pamela Dudziak LOCATION: 2065 Park Center Dr. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: HD, High Density ZONING: R-4, Residential Multiple SUMMARY OF REQUEST Dakota County CDA is requesting approval of a Rezoning from R-4, Residential Multiple, to PD, Planned Development, and a Final Planned Development to allow construction of a new 55-unit 3-story apartment building for persons aged 55 and older upon approximately 6.13 acres located at 2065 Park Center Drive, in the SE'/4 of Section 30. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Rezoning: City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subd. 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 regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. 2. The City Council shall not rezone any land or area in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance without first having referred it to the planning commission for its consideration and recommendation. Planned Development: City Code Chapter 11. 60, Subd. 18, A., states the intent of the Planned Development zoning district as follows: Planning Report - Dakota County CDA (Oakwoods East) August 28, 2007 Page 2 1. Providing greater flexibility in environmental design and relaxation of strict application of the zoning ordinance in exchange for greater creativity and environmental sensitivity. 2. Recognizing the economic and cultural advantages that will accrue to the residents of a planned community. 3. Encouraging a more creative and efficient approach to the use of the land. 4. Encouraging the preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics, natural features, and open space. 5. Encouraging a development pattern that is consistent with land use density, transportation facilities and community facilities objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The property was platted in 1991 and the existing 65-unit apartment building was constructed that same year. In 1998, when Regal Cinemas was proposing to construct the theater, the CDA sold the northeastern corner of their site to Regal Cinemas, which straightened the property line between the two lots and allowed Regal Cinemas to provide proof of parking to satisfy their parking requirements. The development plans submitted in 1991 showed a future apartment building east of the existing building. With R-4 zoning, the initial approval encompassed only the building permit at that time and did not pre-approve future expansion of the facility. Since 1991, the City's zoning ordinances have changed and the proposed second building does not meet current R-4 standards. The CDA is now proposing to construct a second building on this site. Also, the CDA owns the entire site and will own and manage both buildings as one complex. City Code requires separate lots for each building, except where multiple buildings are specifically approved through Planned Development zoning. The requested rezoning to PD is necessary to permit this second apartment building on the same site as the existing building, without subdivision. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is 6.13 acres in size and contains an existing 65-unit three-story senior apartment building which was constructed in 1991. The existing building is three stories with an underground garage and is parked at less than two stalls per unit. There is a storm drainage pond on the southwestern part of the site, and the existing apartment building is on the northwestern end. The northern and western portions of the property are wooded, with a clearing east of the existing building. The site slopes down to the north and toward the pond to the south. The property is surrounded by a variety of uses park, commercial, office, public and residential uses. Access into the site is from Park Center Drive. GCD Planning Report - Dakota County CDA (Oakwoods East) August 28, 2007 Page 3 SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: Existing Use Zoning Land Use Designation North Rahn Park P, Park P, Parks and Recreational Open Space South Driver's Training Station PF, Public Facilities QP, Quasi-Public East Regal Cinemas PD, Planned Development RC, Retail Commercial West Office; Residential PD, Planned Development O/S-Office/Service; LD-Low Density EVALUATION OF REOUEST Description of Proposal - The proposed project is a new 55-unit affordable senior housing apartment building in conjunction with the existing 65-unit facility, to total 120 units (25 two- bedroom units and 30 one-bedroom units). The new building will be three stories, with underground parking. According to the applicant's narrative, "All exterior design, finishes, materials and colors would be selected to match the existing building and site amenities." The proposed building results in a higher density than allowed by the R-4 zoning district standards, two principal buildings on one lot, building height over 35 feet and parking of less then two stalls per unit. All of these deviations from City Code requirements can be accommodated through the proposed PD zoning. The acceptability of the deviations is a policy matter to be determined by City officials. Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The proposal appears compatible with surrounding uses. The site is guided for High Density residential use (12+ units per acre). The property is surrounded by a variety of uses park, commercial, office, public and residential uses. Access into the site is from Park Center Drive. There are trees between the site and the park to the north and single-family residential use to the west. The new building will be located on the east side of the site. Site Plan - The Site Plan show a three-story apartment building with underground parking east of the existing building. Access to the new building will be from the existing driveway off Park Center Drive. A central court is located between the two buildings allowing vehicles to drive-up to the buildings main entrances for drop-offs or pick-ups and provides for vehicle turnaround. Density - To evaluate the developer's proposal, density is first calculated by what is proposed (the number of units divided by the gross/net site areas), then compared against what is required or allowed in the comparable R-4 zoning district. q7 Planning Report - Dakota County CDA (Oakwoods East) August 28, 2007 Page 4 Proposed - The developer is proposing 55 new units for a total of 120 units on a gross site area of 6.13 acres, resulting in a gross density of 19.6 units per acre. City Code permits only 10% of the pond area to be utilized for density purposes. As such, the net site area is 5.75 acres, resulting in a net density of 20.8 units per acre. Required - R-4 zoning requires a minimum site area of 2,750 sq. ft. of area per unit. The City Code allows a credit of 300 sq. ft. per unit for each unit served by underground garage. With 120 units and 104 underground garage stalls, the required site area would be 6.86 acres (the equivalent of 17.5 units per acre). Whether measured by gross or net, the site area is less than 6.86 acres and the proposed density, exceeds 17.5 units per acre and thus, deviates from typical R-4 zoning standards. The applicant's narrative states "senior housing units tend to have a higher ratio of one bedroom and smaller sized units than typical market-rate, all-age housing so more units can be accommodated on a smaller site and still have a softer impact on the site." Parking - The City Code requires two parking stalls for each multi-family dwelling unit (at least one covered or underground), with no specified parking standard for senior housing facilities. The proposed new building provides 61 parking spaces for 55 units, a ratio of 1.11 to 1. This ratio is consistent with prior approvals for other senior housing apartments and with the amount of parking for the existing Oakwoods building. For comparative purposes: ➢ O'Leary (1997) provides 1.16 stalls per unit ➢ Marice Manor (1997) provides 0.74 stalls per unit (with proof of parking to total just under one stall per unit) ➢ Oakwoods Phase I (1991) provides 1.7 stalls per unit The applicant's narrative states the parking need "will be highest at the opening of the building and continue to diminish as the population ages in place. The Phase I existing building has a 77% utilization rate of the garage parking and the surface lot is used mainly by visitors. Other CDA Eagan projects' garage utilization ranges from 64% to 86% with no waiting lists for garage parking spaces." Setbacks - The Zoning Code requires a minimum 30-foot side yard setback and 50-foot front yard setback, however, the 38-foot building height requires an added 9' of setback. The proposed front yard setback is more than 70 feet and the rear yard setback is approximately 80 feet. The proposed side yard setback, however, is 31 feet and does not provide the increase setback related to the building height. Storm Drainage/Water Quality - Compliance with City policies and ordinances regarding storm drainage will be reviewed at the time of building permit. There are no jurisdictional wetlands on the site. Planning Report - Dakota County CDA (Oakwoods East) August 28, 2007 Page 5 Access/Street Design - Access will be provided via the existing driveway to Park Center Drive. Tree Preservation - The plans appear to result in less then the allowable 30% tree removal for this type of development. The actual amount of tree removal and compliance with the tree preservation ordinance will be confirmed at the time of building permit. Landscaping - The Landscape Plan appears to be acceptable. An approximately 75-foot wooded buffer will remain north of the building. Around the area of new construction, deciduous and evergreen trees will be planted along the western perimeter with a cotoneaster shrub hedge to screen along the south and east sides of the surface parking lot. Foundation plants are proposed around the west side of the building near the patio, sidewalks and main entrance to the building, with perennial grasses and flowers along the west side of the building facing the central court between the two buildings. Parking lot islands are proposed to be planted with shrubs and deciduous shade trees. Mechanical Equipment - Ground mounted mechanical equipment will be located north of the building. The equipment is screened from off the site to the south, east and west by the buildings, and to the north by the existing woods. The applicant's narrative states the equipment will be screened by landscaping. The Landscape Plan shows several deciduous trees around the equipment. Additional screening utilizing evergreen and deciduous shrubs should be provided. This additional screening should be shown on the Landscape Plan at the time of building permit. Parking - The City Code requires two parking stalls for each multi-family dwelling unit (at least one covered or underground), with no specified parking standard for senior housing facilities. The proposed new building provides 61 parking spaces for 55 units, a ratio of 1.11 to 1. This ratio is consistent with prior approvals for other senior housing apartments and with the amount of parking for the existing Oakwoods building. For comparative purposes: ➢ O'Leary (1997) provides 1.16 stalls per unit ➢ Marice Manor (1997) provides 0.74 stalls per unit (with proof of parking to total just under one stall per unit) ➢ Oakwoods Phase I (1991) provides 1.7 stalls per unit The applicant's narrative states the parking need "will be highest at the opening of the building and continue to diminish as the population ages in place. The Phase I existing building has a 77% utilization rate of the garage parking and the surface lot is used mainly by visitors. Other CDA Eagan projects' garage utilization ranges from 64% to 86% with no waiting lists for garage parking spaces." Building Elevations/Architecture - The building utilizes exterior design and finish materials and colors to match the existing building and site amenities. Mechanical louvers and vents in the exposed garage walls will be painted to match the adjacent materials. Building Height - Building height is measured from the average grade to the midpoint of a pitched roof. City Code allows a maximum building height of 35 feet. City Code permits 99 Planning Report - Dakota County CDA (Oakwoods East) August 28, 2007 Page 6 additional building height up to 60 feet, with additional setbacks of 3 feet for each 1 foot of additional building height required. The majority of the building is 34'2" in height. A portion of the building at the north end is 44' 2". The overall average building height is 38 feet. The proposed building is set back 31 feet from the east property line, however, this does not provide the additional setbacks required for the building height over 35 feet. The applicant's narrative states "The building will not appear taller than allowed from the public way The tall portion of the building is limited and is located within the low, wooded area at the north end of the site and a small area at the garage entry." Storage Space - City Code requires 150 cubic feet of storage space per unit, in addition to the closet and storage area within the unit. The floor plans provide 47 lockers for 55 units. Each locker is 3' x 5' x 8', and provides 120 sq. ft. of additional storage space. 120 sq. ft. locker size is consistent with the existing building, but short of the 150 sq. ft. required by City Code, and the number of lockers is 8 fewer than the number of dwelling units. The applicant's narrative states that "General building storage is provided in the garage level and the existing building also has a large maintenance shop and building storage area that will be shared with the new building." Trash Storage - Trash storage is proposed inside the building in the lower parking level. Site Lighting - City Code requires site lighting be as is necessary for security, safety and traffic circulation. Typically, we look for parking lot lighting to be not less than 0.5 footcandles, and for an average-to-minimum ratio of 4:1. For the new building, the Site Lighting Plan shows pole-mounted lighting in the parking lot with one light located in the center of each row of parking stalls. The far side of the driving lanes opposite the parking stalls are not as well-lit, with footcandle levels dropping to between 0.5 and 0.2. One wall-mounted light is proposed on the west side of the building above the underground garage entrance. The approach driveway to that area also shows light levels below 0.5 footcandles. The lighting statistics show an average to minimum ratio of 9:1, which suggests large variations in site lighting, with relatively bright and relatively dark spots. The applicant should consult with their lighting engineer to determine if adjustments in the lighting plan can be made to better illuminate the areas currently under 0.5 footcandles, provide more uniform light levels throughout the parking lot, and confirm that the lighting plan provides sufficient lighting for safety and security purposes. Parks and Recreation - The park and trail dedication fees for this development were waived by the City Council with the initial development in 1991. Recreation Space - City Code requires that on-site recreation space be provided in multiple- family developments. The Code requires 200 sq. ft. for each 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom unit, plus an additional 100 sq. ft. for each 3 bedroom unit. Using this formula, a total of 24,000 sq. ft. is required - 11,000 for the new building and 13,000 for the existing building. lW Planning Report - Dakota County CDA (Oakwoods East) August 28, 2007 Page 7 The applicant's narrative states they have provided 5,600 sq. ft. for the new building. An outdoor patio and adjacent green yard space can be used for barbeque and active group events. The area north of the existing car court wall provides "a connection to trails, and quiet, reflective space for individual activities such as bird feeding and watching." The narrative further states that "these uses are consistent with the uses provided at the existing building" and "amenities such as seating or bird feeders will be provided as needed." SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Dakota County CDA is proposing to construct the second phase of the Oakwoods senior housing. The new building will provide 55 units of affordable senior housing in addition to the existing 65-unit building. A second building was envisioned for this site since the initial development in 1991 and the CDA is now ready to implement it. The CDA is requesting approval of a Rezoning to PD, Planned Development, and approval of the Final Planned Development for the new building. The Planned Development is requested to accommodate two principal buildings on one lot, building height over 35 feet and parking of less then two stalls per unit. Additional deviations such as in the amount of interior storage space and outside recreation space are also part of this development proposal. Compliance with the City's tree preservation ordinance will be confirmed at the time of building permit. Preliminary engineering plans (i.e. grading, drainage, utilities, etc.) appear acceptable and all engineering matters will be addressed with the building permit application for this project. Deviations from typical City Code requirements can be accommodated through the proposed PD zoning. The applicant's narrative indicates that the proposal will have no negative impacts on the quality of life for residents or on the community at large and that "the completed project will be a great asset for the community as well as the residents." The acceptability of the proposed Planned Development with deviations to typical City Code standards is a policy matter to be determined by City officials.

This new building would include 55 new affordable senior housing units in addition to the existing building with 65 units. The new building would have 25 two bedroom units ranging in size from 850 sf to 1030 sf and 30 one bedroom units ranging in size from 550 sf to 760 sf. The new building will be three stories of housing above one underground parking level. All exterior design, finishes, materials and colors would be selected to match the existing building and site amenities. This includes two color stucco exterior on the building, rock face block walls and building base, decorative wood brackets and asphalt shingled roof, standing seam metal roof at low roof areas, vinyl windows, exterior light fixtures and landscaping. Requests We would like to retain Comprehensive Guide Plan designation of HD - high density for 12 + units per acre. The site density is 20.8 units per acre for 120 units on 5.748 acres (includes 10% of pond at NWL). We would like to change our zoning designation from R-4 to PD - planned development to accommodate a higher unit density, two primary buildings on one lot, reduced parking requirements, increased building height at one small portion of the building, and minimum lot area requirements. Building height allowed is 35' with a 30' setback in side yard. The majority of the building perimeter has a building height of 34'-2" from grade to the midpoint of the 5/12 pitched roof. At the north end of the building, where grade drops off quickly, the building height is 44'-2" at the average low point. The overall average building height from the midpoint of the roof to the midpoint at grade is 38'. The side yard setback is 30' for the east property line and the actual building location is approximately 31' from the property line. This does not provide the increased side yard setback of 9' for the additional 3' of building height above the allowed. The building will not appear taller than allowed from the public way and for most of the perimeter as the majority of the building is within the requirements.

Parking for the new building is 48 spaces covered and 13 surface parking spaces for a ratio of 1 to 1.1 1. This has historically been in excess of the need for senior housing. The need will be highest at the opening of the building and continue to diminish as the population ages in place. The Phase I existing building has a parking ratio of 1 to 1.17 with a 77% utilization rate of the garage parking spaces and the surface lot used mainly by visitors. Other CDA Eagan projects' garage utilization ranges from 64% to 86% with no waiting lists for garage parking spaces. Minimum lot area requirements for units is calculated at 2092 sf/unit for the 250,990 sf lot (includes 10% of the pond area at normal water level) divided by 120 units for both phases. The senior housing units tend to be have a higher ratio of one bedroom and smaller sized units than typical market-rate, all-age housing so more units can be accommodated on a smaller site and still have a softer impact on the site. Most units will only have one resident as opposed to two or more in market rate, all-age housing. Other Items The resident storage areas are shown at 3' x 5' and one per unit with ceiling height at 8'. This provides 120 cu.ft. of storage per unit which is consistent with the existing building but less than the required 150 cu.ft. per unit. General building storage is provided in the garage level and the existing building also has a large maintenance shop and building storage area that will be shared with the new buildina. Outdoor recreation space is being provided at 5,600 sf. We have 2,850 sf at the outdoor patio and adjacent green lawns for barbeque and active group events; and 2,750 sf at the north side of the existing car court wall, adjacent to the forest area as a connection to trails, and quiet, reflective space for individual activities such as bird feeding and watching. These uses are consistent with the uses provided at the existing building. Amenities such as seating or bird feeders will be provided as needed. A mechanical condensing unit will be located to the north of the building and screened by landscaping. An electrical transformer will be located near the garage entry and will be screened by landscaping. There will be mechanical louvers and vents in the exposed garage walls that will be painted to match the adjacent materials. Rooftop equipment will be limited to small vent pipes.

CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CLARIFY FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSION AND RESOLUTION FOR THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN IN THE CEDAR GROVE CORE AREA ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To approve an amendment of the Findings of Fact, Conclusion and Resolution to authorize the acquisition of properties in the Cedar Grove Redevelopment District by eminent domain to change a reference in Paragraph 7 of the findings from "a memo" from Ehlers and Associates to "Exhibit A to the Resolution approving the TIF District, dated October 2, 2001". FACTS: • At its meeting of August 9, 2007, the EDA and City Council approved the Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Resolution to authorize the use of eminent domain to acquire properties in the core area of the Cedar Grove Redevelopment District. Section 7 of the Findings refers to the City considering a "memo" from Ehlers and Associates as part of the basis for the original creation of the Redevelopment District. • In responding to a data practices request for a copy of the memo, it was determined that the document that had been referred to was not in the form of a memo, but was in fact Exhibit A to the Resolution approving the Redevelopment District. While the document was prepared by Ehlers and Associates as part of the background on which the district was formed and the distinction between a memo and an exhibit may be minor, City staff and the City Attorney are asking that the EDA consider this action to more accurately refer to the document in question as an Exhibit in the action of August 9. ATTACHMENTS: • Amended excerpt from the Findings of Fact, Conclusion and Resolution on page 11 • Resolutions to approve the amendment on paged& ou ~a~ 7. General facts concerning the Redevelopment District are as follows:... (Other bullets omitted.) • The TIF Plan makes a finding that but-for creation of the TIF District, the intended redevelopment activity would not happen. The City's Redevelopment Consultant, Ehlers and Associates, has reviewed the financial proforma for the proposed development contemplated by the TIF Plan and has prepared a memo Exhibit A to the Resolution approving the TIF District, dated October 2, 2001, indicating, likewise, that the specific proposed redevelopment would not occur but-for the assistance of the City in acquiring properties within the Redevelopment District, regardless of and not dependent upon whom the developer is for the proposed redevelopment (Other bullets omitted) ~a~ EAGAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY RESOLUTION AMENDING/CLARIFYING THE FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSION AND RESOLUTION FOR THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE PROPERTIES IN THE CEDAR GROVE CORE AREA.

CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT - RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR SOUTH PARCEL OF B.J. MULCAHY PROPERTY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To adopt a resolution to approve a Purchase Agreement and related documents for the South Parcel of B.J. Mulcahy Property. FACTS: • The City has taken steps to bring about the redevelopment of the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area, including public improvements, environmental reviews, comprehensive plan and zoning modifications and the execution of development agreements that are resulting in the construction of new private development consistent with the City's plans. • During the period leading up to the adoption of an agreement for the redevelopment of the core area, the City has considered the voluntary acquisition of properties in which there is a willing seller. • City staff has been approached by representatives of the B.J. Mulcahy property, which is located between Hwy 13 and Old Sibley Memorial Highway between the City's storm ponds and the Competition Engines property. The property owner presented an appraisal for the property, but it was determined that the property had a deposit of flyash on it that had been deposited as fill during the Hwy 13 upgrade project in the early 1980's. The City's appraiser conducted a review appraisal and determined that the property's appraised valuation was supportable, if the flyash were removed from the site. Following negotiations, the owner proposed to sell the property to the City at a value adjusted in consideration of that condition. In exchange, the City will cover the cost of subdividing the property from the portion of the property on the north side of Hwy 13, which will be retained by Mulcahy. • Staff and the owners have tentatively agreed to a sale of the property to the EDA for $290,000, pending EDA action. The purchase agreement and related documents are in order for consideration at this time.
