December 10, 1997 Mayor Egan and Council Members City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MiV 55122- 1a97 RE: Littering Dear Mayor and Council Members: Litter is a continually growing problem in our city. I believe that inadvertently development policy affecting single family neighborhoods is contributing to the littering problem. Please take a look at the residential lots for sale on the west side of Blackhawk Road between Monterey Lane and Robin Lane. These lots have been for sale for more than a year. The developer placed decorative mailboxes and newspaper tubes on the lots almost immediately after the For Sale signs were erected. I believe the mailboxes are a form of subliminal advertising by this residential developer. The mailboxes might be considered similar to bus benches with advertising that have recently been discussed before the city council. As a result of these boxes being in place, the local newspapers and all delivery services are continually leaving materials in the tubes. Needless to say, there is a litter prob9ern wiin rie-w3papers, fiiers, Et:;., CiGVYifig c3rOUnd ii"ie aiea aind Spiiiiny Gr3iu tile street. I also believe newspapers, etc. are mischievously being pulled from the boxes and thrown onto Blackhawk Road. I recently noticed that the new residential development on the old Murphy Farm property has also installed decorative mailboxes. I'm sure the developers will respond that th2y are being courteous and trying to improve the aesthetic appearance of these new developments. It sounds quite noble, but the reality is that the boxes are contributing to the city's litter problems. 33 Printed on 100% Recycled Paper ? w l ` ( r ` . ,,"'? ? ? 5?-•- `1,' : . lJ ? ?? ? ? ?? ?' •? ? ? ? ???? i ? i 5 II I i?

COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: JUNE 29, 1995 SUBJECT: BLUE CROSS ROAD - RESPONSE TO COMPLAINT FROM FLOYD HIAR ¦ On street parking restrictions - Blue Cross soccer fields ¦ Sky Hill Park - Pedestrian crossing With the recent reconstruction of Blue Cross Road, City staff coordinated with both the Parks Department and Blue Cross representatives to determine the appropriate restrictions needed for on-street parking. Blue Cross/Blue Shield requested that on-street parking be prohibited from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Monday thru Friday to help encourage their employees to park in the intemal parking lots. Blue Cross Road is constructed as a 44-foot wide street which is adequate to accommodate one lane in each direction and an 8-foot safety/parking lane. However, at major intersections the parking/safety {ane is deleted to provide for designated left turn lanes. The Street Maintenance Division has installed the appropriate parking restriction signs to inform the public where and when parking is permissible. In addition, in the next 30 - 45 days, we will reiriforce the parking restriction areas near Yankee Doodle Road by painting the curbs yellow to better identify those zones to the public and assist the Police Department in enforcement. The Parks and Recreation Department felt that it would be beneficial to their recreation programs to provide on street parking near Sky Hill Park and the Blue Cross soccer fields. We do not recommend relocating the existing marked pedestrian crosswalk of Blue Cross Road at Ashbury Drive further to the west near the entrance to the Sky Hill parking lot. Its present location at a full street intersection is more compatible with the trail way system and the main entrance to the Blue Cross parking lot. Opposite Sky Hill Park creates a mid-block crosswalk which is not recommended. I have had several discussions with Mr. Hiar and have met with him on the site to further discuss these on street parking concems prior to your receiving his mast recent facsimile on June 20 and June 21, 1995 (copies enclosed). Mr. Hiar does not concur with the actions and responses provided to him to date as he feels that all parking should be restricted at all times on Blue Cross Road. I believe that limited on street parking on Blue Cross Road can be properly accommodated according to its present design. If you would like further information or response, please let me know.

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMIIVISTRATOR FROM: JOHN K VONDELINDE, SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS DATE: DECEMBER 2, 1992 SUBJECT: TURF FSTABLISHMENT - FLOYD A. HIAR PROPERTY Following our meeting with Mr. Floyd Hiar on Thwsday, October 29, I contacted Ms. Sharon Hills with the city's attomey's office concerning the nature of our meeting and it's outcome. I informed Ms. Hills that the City of Eagan was interested in seeking a Continuation for Dismissal of this case in district court, until the spring of 1993, pending the satisfaction of erosion control measures on the Braun property that were pointed out duriug our meeting with Mr. Hiar. In a pre-trial conference on November 25th, Ms. Hills offered Mr. Hiar a Continuation for Dismissal. Much to our surprise, Mr. Hiaz asked that this issue proceed to court trial. Pursuant to a letter from Ms. Hills to the Clerk of District Court, I have been informed that this court trial is scheduled to be conducted in the near future. A copy of that letter is a[tached for your reference. In light of this development I have asked Ms. Hills to meet with Mike Foer[sch, Steve Hanson and myself in a pre-trial meeting to re-examine the situation involving the dispute between Mr. Hiaz and his neighbor Mr. Braun at 3710 Knoll Ridge Drive. My purpose in requesting the meeting is to ask Ms. Hilis to investigate the city's legal jurisdiction and responsibility over the issue of erosion and the erection of the retaining wall, as well as any previous commitment the city may have made to t6is issue in light of the $1,000 surety bond that was being held against Mr. Braun in 1988. This will not only be a good opportunity to discuss the city's overall involvement and strategy concerning this issue, but also prepaze those staff inembers who may be asked to testify at the trial. As a result of this development and the uncertainties surrounding the city's past involvement, I felt it would be most prudent to reserve making any written response to Mr. Hiar until further information and direction is obtained from the city attorne}'s office. If you ha any comments or concerns regarding this issue or feel it appropriate to respond to Mr. Hiar prior to the c ; jury trial, please be sure to let me know. of Parks JKV/nab cc: Sharon Hills, Assistant City Attorney Mike Foertsch, Assistant City Engineer Steve Hanson, Assistant Building Official Ken Vraa, D'uector of Parks and Recreation Jim McGuffee, Pazks Supervisor 11 6b:hedges.337 SEVERSON, WILCOX & SHELDON, P.A.

Because the prosecution has encountered witness concerns with respect to proving all elements of the offenses, the prosecution has determined that, in the interest of justice, the charges should be dismissed. The City wishes to express its appreciation to Mr. Hiar for his work in complying with the ordinance thus far, namely establishing turfgrass on the south side of his driveway. Additionally, the City appreciates Mr. Hiarts efforts in working with the City to resolve the turfgrass issue. T1?rauc*h several communications between Mr. Hiar and City staff members and, in particular, Mr. Hiar's September 17, 1992, letter to the court, Mr. Hiar has conceded that his property is not in compliance with the turfgrass establishment ordinance. Despite these concessions, Mr. Hiar refused to meet the requirements of the ordinance because of a purported erosion problem from the neighboring property. In light of Mr. Hiar's admissions and the completion of the neighbor's retaining wall, the City intends to continue to monitor Mr. Hiar's efforts in establishing suitable turfgrass and abating noxious weeds in accordance with Eagan ordinance. Please advise Mr. Hiar accordinqly. I6 Page 2 Letter to G. Fuchs December 18, 1992 If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

This work will bring my residence in compliance as my obiigation has been described by Ms. Sharon K. Hiils, Prosecuting Attorney, during a phone conversation on September 16, 1992. For the record, I have refrained from landscaping my yard to date because my neighbor's yard and the fill soil used to bring their yard up to buildable grades continues to erode and creep onto my property. Whatever l do to comply with the above referenced citation at this time will need to be undone when my dispute with my neighbor is resolved. The contruction of my neighbor's property was Permited by the City of Eagan. Over the last year, I have obtained estimates to landscape my yard ranging between $7,000 to $10,000, but not one of the landscapers were willing to stand behind their work because of the threat of damage to the landscaping resulting from soil erosion or soils creeping from my neighbor's improperly filled and graded property onto my property. I have made repeated attempts to meet with City Officials regarding this matter to no avail. Last week I discused this matter with the City Administrator and subordinates.

MEMORANDQM TO: John VonDeLinde, Superintendent of Parks FROM: Sharon K. Hills, Assistant City Attorney DATE: September 25, 1992 RE: Turfgrass Violations Our File No. 206-10551 I am writing this memorandum to keep you advised of the status of the turfgrass violation cases. In the mid morning of September 24, 1992, LeRoy Berg and I visited tne five properties for which its cwners are criminally cited for turfgrass ordinance violations. LeRoy also took me to the Otte's property. The first property we inspected was 1385 Braun Court, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Colin Jones. While at the property, I took four photographs of the front yard. During this viewing, I came in contact with Mrs. Jones. From the beginning of our conversation, she was very defensive and stated that LeRoy told her that she was no longer in violation of the turfgrass establishment ordinance. She stated that LeRoy wrote this statement on the back of an Eagan envelope. LeRoy denied writing that statement but stated that he wrote there was no longer a weed violation. Mrs. Jones went into her home to retrieve the envelope and returned outside to show me. Indeed, on the back of the envelope it stated, "turfgrass has heen taken care of. .." and signed by LeRoy Berg. Needless to say, LeRoy was quite surprised by what he read and attempted to explain to Mrs. Jones that he meant to write that the weeds, not the turfgrass, are taken care of. Mrs. Jones would not listen to LeRoy; she only continuously called him a"liar." Mrs. Jones also complained that no one from the City will work with her and I assured her that we are more than happy to work with her to resolve this issue. I explained to her that to resolve this issue she needed to establish suitable turfgrass. She claims that what is present in her yard at this time is suitable turfgrass. I suggested to her that perhaps you and I could meet with her and her husband to discuss what needs to be done to take care of this matter. The next property we visited was 3720 Knoll Ridge Drive, owned by Floyd Hiar. Again, I took photographs of the property. The most noticeable violation of the ordinance is the area to the right of Hiar's driveway. This section of property, running almost as long as the driveway is bare dirt, without any type of vegetation. The third property we visited was 4875 Safari Pass owned by Michael Moser. The area in question is in the back yard near the property line of his neighbor at 1965 Safari Trail. Presently, it appears as though Mr. Moser is installing a block retaining wall along the property line. The area in which the erosion problem stems is full of weeds, rocks and some bare ground. The fvurth property we visited was 586 Allan Lane, owned by Doris Gantt. I am happy to advise you that this property is now entirely covered with established turfgrass. Due to Ms. Gantt's compliance with the ordinance, the criminal citation will be dismissed by our office. The last property we visited was 907 Sunwood Court, owned by Gregorp Harris. Again, I took photographs of the property. I am pleased to advise you that Mr. Harris appears to be progressing steadily with the establishment of his turfgrass. An irrigation system has been laid in the front yard and appears to be ready to be placed in the backyard. LeRoy informed me that this is a new development since his last visit to the property. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me. SKH/wkt cc: Tom Hedges, City Administrator James F.

As you are well aware, on September 1, 1992, tne City oi Eagan nad served upon you a violations summons for failure to establish suitable turfgrass on your property. This citation followed two previous written notices from the City Weed Inspector's office requiring the establishment of turfgrass no later than May 21, 1992. These notices were in accordance with Sections 7.08 and 10.21 of the City Code adopted in July, 1990. As you are also aware, these violation notices followed several previous noxious weed violations and numerous conversations between yourself and City staff during the past five or six years concerning turfgrass establishment and weed control. Based on my discussions with Mr. Hedges, it is my understanding that you are reluctant to pursue the establishment of turfgrass on your property pending the installation of a retaining wall on your neighbor's p;operty ]ocated at 3710 Knollridge Drive. However, I would like to point out several related circumstances that would not indicate the need for a retaining wall prior to turfgrass establishment. First, based on my discussions with the City's Community Development and Engineering Departments, the City has and continues to maintain that the matter of the erosion and drainage is a civil issue between yourself and your neighbor. The City has also been advised by legal counsel that it does not have a legal basis to become involved in resolving a dispute with your neighbor concerning the construction of the retaining wall. Second, I would like to point out that the City's request for turf establishment on your property principally relates to the front and side lot areas and not the rear lot area. The erosion that you are concerned about appears to be in the back THE LONE OAK TREE ... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWiH IN OUR COMMUNITY Equal Opportunity/Affirritia#ive :action Employer ? .i ., . lot area of your property and does not have any direct impact to the front or side lot areas. Consequently, the issue of the retaining wall should have no bearing on the timing of turfgrass establishment in these areas. Again, I want to emphasize that the City's issue with turfgrass establishment is separate from any dispute or conflict which you are having with your neighbor over the construction of a private retaining wall. The City has been extremely patient in working with you towards a resolution of the sodding of your property. We believe that we have followed all of the proper procedures in executing the City's legal requirements and notification procedures. By means of this letter, we wish to advise you that the City intends to continue to prosecute this matter through legal means and, if necessary, to take action to establish suitable turfgrass in accordance with the provisions outlined within the City's ordinance. If, on the other hand, you choose to resolve this matter under your own initiative, through either seeding or sodding of the lawn (before the issue is adjudicated), any plans for City-initiated action will be reversed and dropped.

As I mentioned to you, members of the city's staff recently met with Floyd Hiar in reference to the issue of turf establishment on his home lawn located at 3720 Knoll Ridge Drive. At the time of the meeting Mr. Hiar had completed sodding of that portion of his lawn south of his driveway. I relayed to Mr. Hiar that he now needed to complete satisfactory turf establishment on the front portion of his lawn between the driveway and his north property line. During our meeting, Mr. Hiar expressed his concerns over a number of issues related to the Braun property d'uectly adjacent to his home on the north side. Among Mr. Hiar's concerns are the relatively "high elevation" of the Braun home, drainage of the Braun property into Mr. Hiar's basement, and the perceived failure of Mr. Braun to erect a suitable retaining wall to prevent additional erosion onto the Hiar property. Mr. Hiar referenced previous conversations and written correspondence with the City of Eagan and Mr. Braun's attomey in reference to his dissatisfaction over the grading and retaining wall issues associated with the Braun property. It was evident during our on-site meeting with Mr. Hiaz that some additional work on the Braun retaining wall will be necessary to prevent a continuing problem with a sma11 amount 1 THE LONE OAK TREE ...

MINNESOTA 55122 PHONE: (612) 681-4300 FAX: (612) 681-4360 Equal Opporfunity(Affirmative Actlon Employer of erosion on to the Hiar property. Mr. Hiar has stated that he does not wish to proceed with the establishment of a permanent lawn until the retaining wall is completed. He stated that this must be a pre-condition to any grading and landscaping work on his own property because Mr. Braun will need to gain access onto his property in order to build the wa11 in a reasonable fashion. As a follow up to the meeting with Mr. Hiar, I contacted Mr. Braun by telephone to discuss his perspectives on the situation. He stated that he has had little or no cooperation with Mr. Hiar since he first built his home and that he is not conversed with Mr. Hiar for at least four years. He feels that he has constructed a sadsfactory retaining wall and does not agree that any additional work needs to be done. But he did say that he would take another look at the erosion situation and might possibly do some additional work in the spring. He made it very clear that he felt Mr. Hiar had only accentuated the problem by lowering the grades between his and Mr. Hiar's property shortly after Mr. Hiar built his home. He said that if grades had been left as they were originally planned, the retaining wall would not have been necessary and Mr. Hiar's property could have been landscaped long ago. Clearly, this issues boils down to fundamental disagreement between Mr. Hiar and Mr. Braun over a common lot line situation involving grading and erosion control. Mr. Hiar doesn't wish to proceed until a satisfactory retaining wall is constructed. Mr. Braun feels that he has gone ovt of his way to be a good neighbor to Mr. Hiar and that the retaining wall is sufficient. During our meeting at his residence Mr. T-Iiar made it ciear that ne was not taking issue wiin the city over the turf establishment. He seemed to understand the intent of the ordinance and stated that he was willing to comply once the issue with Mr. Braun had been resolved. He said that he has bad a professional landscape plan prepared and that a number of improvements will be made to his front lawn including grading, installation of trees and shrubs, and an underground sprinkler system. In light of the issues and disagreements concernin.g this problem, coupled with the city's past involvement in resolving this dispute, I would like to enlist the assistance of the city attomey's office in re-examining this case. Specifiically it would be helpful to know whether the city has any legal jurisdiction over the issue of the grading and retaining wa11 placement, and any expressed interest the city may have made in resolving this problem based on previous communications and/or agreements with either party. As you may be aware, the city had at one time obtained a$1,000 bond from Mr. Braun as a pledge of good faith to follow through with the establishment of the retaining wa11s. This is reflected in the correspondence from Mr. Braun's attomey which I believe was included in copies of the parcel file conespondence which I furnished to your off'ice earlier this fall. In a recent letter of correspondence, Mr. Hiar is now asking that the ciry cash the $1,000 bond out of negligence on Mr. Braun's part in completing the retaining wall in a satisfactory manner. 2 ? As we concluded during our telephone conversation, this does not appear to be a simple matter of turf grass establishment in accordance wiW the city's ordinance. There aze other issues involved that raise questions over the degree of the ciys jurisdiction, the appropriate role of the city in resolving the retaining wall dispute, the need for clarification of any previous city commitments (vis-a-vis the bond), and the relationship of the retaining wall issue to the continued prosecution of NIr. Hiar over the turfgrass issue. I'll look forward to meeting with you to review the files on the two properties and to discuss any additional coordination that may be necessary in order to determine the best course of legal ption on behalf of the city.

MASIN THEODORE WACHTER Council Members THOMAS HEDGES City AdministraTor Dear Mr. Hiar: E. J. VAN OVERBEKE Cify Clerk Mayor Egan asked that I respond to your letter concerning composting information in the most recent City newsletter. We appreciate your concern and reviewed the matters you raised. Based upon that review, it is apparent that the article in question is not an advertisement as you suggest. While Eagan is no longer in the yard waste composting business, we are in the landfill abatement and waste reduction business. As such, it is consistent with our purpose to inform residents of readily available yard waste management alternatives. As a member of the City's Solid Waste Abatement Commission, I am certain that you are aware of the importance of educating the public to break disposal habits and practice environmentally sensitive alternatives. The same issue of the newsletter also includes articles on lawn care, home composting and fertilizing. These are also included as matters of information and not as advertisements. As you are also aware, the City has made a practice in the past of providing information regarding a number of recycling and waste abatement alternatives, both public and private. The most practical aspect of providing this information in the City newsletter is that regardless of our understanding of the situation, the public always perceived the compost site at the municipal center complex to be a City facility. Even this fall, months after the operation was relocated to the Gopher site, residents doing their fall yard work have been coming to the municipal center as a matter of habit. Fortunately, signage and inforn?ation from receptionists have routed them to the new location. Were it not for the information in the newsletter, it is my sense that many more people would have come here. I expect that it will be appropriate to provide similar information in a future newsletter issue as well when spring yard work begins.

I do not believe that these errors have any impact on the City's tax rates which continue to be among the lowest in the metropolitan area. What they do is allow us to improve. We learn from small errors to do better in the future. These typos seem minor in the context of the excellent information provided in the entire waste abatement section of the newsletter. I appreciate your concern for the quality of the information provided to the public concerning our recycling program and waste abatement alternatives. Upon looking into the matter, however, the Mayor does not feel that this is a policy issue which requires discussion at a Council meeting. Rather, we will direct our staff to be more diligent in proofing articles before the newsletter is published. Thank you again for your time in sharing your observations with us. Sincerely, Thomas L.

OCT 8 ' ;. ? "_'--- --?-- ? _ __----- ? Is the.City of Eagan still in the yard waste compost business? Does the City of Eagan charge for advertising in the Eagan ATews which is sent to every resident of the city? As a member of the city's Solid Waste Abatement Commission, it was my understanding that when the yard waste facility adjacent to City Hall was moved that the city's involvement with yard waste composting terminated. According to Dakota County pblicy, privatization of yard waste processing was to be implemented throughout Dakota County. Please refer to page 12 of the September 1993 issue of Eagan News. Am I mistaken, or is the upper left-hand corner of page 12 a Want Ad soliciting services while the costs of the Want Ad have been paid for by city tax dollars? Please refer to page 12 again under the heading "Free Product Exchange Area." In the text of this section, note the following: "APOZY" "The Plase to check out" "Dispose of propertly" and "his method ..." ***** I believe that what you have just seen on page 12 of the September issue of the Eagan News is a small example of why city taxes continue to increase. I am requesting that the City Council would discuss my correspondence at its next Council Meeting. Additionally., I am requesting correspondence explaining the city's involvement in yard waste composting and an explanation of city policy regarding placement of want ads in a publication paid for with the use of public funds.

Hills, Assistant City Attorney DATE: September 22, 1992 RE: Enforcement of Turfgrass Violations Our File No. 206-10551 As you may recall, I requested a couple weeks ago that you forward to my office certain documentation regarding each of the five properties of which the owners were cited for turfgrass violations. In particular, I requested the following material: 1. All letters and correspondence sent by the City to each property owner regarding this matter; 2. Documentation showing the dates on which each correspondence was sent to the property owners (It is understood that the initial letter sent to property owners in violation of the turfgrass ordinance is an informational form letter; the City does not retain a copy of the actual letter sent to the property owner. Therefore, it is necessary that I receive some kind of documentation showing to whom and when such letter was sent, whether it be a computer record print out or other type of recordkeeping); 3. Any and all photographs taken of the property in violation; and 4. A summary from LeRoy Berg outlining his contact with each owner and a description of each property. Please forward these requested items as soon as practical. In addition, in the event these cases go to trial, the City, through you as a witness, must be able to articulate to a jury why failure to establish turfgrass is a public nuisance (a threat to public safety, health and welfare). Be advised that in order to be legally permitted to give such testimony, however, your training and work experience must qualify you as an expert on this subject. If you are not so qualified, please advise me accordingly in order that I may make arranqements for another witness to testify in this area. l\ Finally, as you recall, we had a discussion regarding Collin Jones' allegation that LeRoy Berg sent Mr. Jones a letter stating Jones was no longer in violation of the turfgrass ordinance. You advised me that you spoke with LeRoy who advised you that he sent no such letter. I spoke with Jim Sheldon regarding our conversation and he clarified that Jones does not allege that LeRoy sent him a letter; instead, Jones showed Jim a City of Eagan envelope and on the back of the envelope was a handwritten note, allegedly made by LeRoy, stating that Jones was now in compliance with the turfgrass ordinance. I wish to be in contact with LeRoy Berg before the next court appearance to discuss this matter with him. If you have any questions or concerns reqarding the matters discussed herein, please do not hesitate to contact me. SKH/wkt cc: Tom Hedges, City Administrator James F.

HIAR PROPERTY Following our meeting with Mr. Floyd Hiar on Thursday, October 29, I contacted Ms. Shazon Hills with the city's attorne}'s office concerning the nature of our meeting and it's outcome. I informed Ms. Hills that the City of Eagan was interested in seeking a Continuation for Dismissal of this case in district court, until the spring of 1993, pending the sakisfaction of erosion control measures on the Braun property that were pointed out during our meeting with Mr. Hiaz. In a pre-trial conference on November 25th, Ms. Hills offered Mr. Hiaz a Continuation for Dismissal. Much to our surprise, Mr. Hiaz asked that this issue proceed to court trial. Pwsuant to a letter from Ms. Hills to the Clerk of District Cowt, I have been informed that this court trial is scheduled to be conducted in the aear future. A copy of that letter is attached for your reference. In light of this development I have asked Ms. Hills to meet with Mike Foertsch, Steve Hanson and myself in a pre-trial meeting to re-examine the situation involving the dispute between Mr. Hiaz and his neighbor Mr. Braun at 3710 Knoll Ridge Drive. My purpose in requesting the meeting is to ask Ms. Hills to investigate the city's legal jurisdiction and responsibility over the issue of erosion and the erection of the retaining wall, as well as any previous commitment the city may have made to tlus issue in light of the $1,000 surety bond that was being held against Mt. Braun in 1988. This will not oaly be a good opportuniry to discuss the ciWs overall involvement and strategy concerning this issue, but also prepaze those stafE members who may be asked to testify at the trial. As a result of this development and the uncertainties surrounding [he ciWs past involvement, I felt it would be most prudent to reserve making any written response to Mr. Hiar until further information and direction is obtained from the city attorney's office.

As I mentioned to you, members of the city's staff recently met with Floyd Hiar in reference to the issue of turf establishment on his home lawn located at 3720 Knoll Ridge Drive. At the time of the meeting Mr. Hiar had completed sodding of that portion of his lawn south of his driveway. I relayed to Mr. Hiar that he now needed to complete satisfactory turf establishment on the front portion of his lawn between the driveway and his north property line. During our meeting, Mr. Hiar expressed his concerns over a number of issues related to the Braun property directly adjacent to his home on the north side. Among Mr. Hiar's concerns are the relatively "high elevation" of the Braun home, drainage of the Braun property into Mr. Hiar's basement, and the perceived failure of Mr. Braun to erect a suitable retain.ing wall to prevent additional erosion onto the Hiar property. Mr. Hiar referenced previous conversations and written correspondence with the City of Eagan and Mr. Braun's attomey in reference to his dissatisfaction over the grading and retaining wall issues associated with the Braun property. It was evident during our on-site meeting with Mr. Hiar that some additional work on the Braun retaining wall will be necessary to prevent a continuing problem with a small amount 1 THE LONE OAK TREE ... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY Equal Opportunlty/Atfirmative Action Employer of erosion on to the Hiar property. Mr. Hiar has stated that he does not wish to proceed • with the establishment of a permanent lawn until the retaining wall is completed. He stated that this must be a pre-condition to any grading and landscaping work on his own property because Mr. Braun will need to gain access onto his property in order to build the wall in a reasonable fashion. As a follow up to the meeting with Mr. Hiar, I contacted Mr. Braun by telephone to discuss his perspectives on the situation. He stated that he has had little or no cooperation with Mr. Hiaz since he first built his home and that he is not conversed with Mr. Hiar for at least four years. He feels that he has constructed a satisfactory retaining wall and does not agree that any additional work needs to be done. But he did say that he would take another look at the erosion situation and might possibly do some additional work in the spring. He made it very clear that he felt Mr. Hiar had only accentuated the problem by lowering the grades between his and Mr. Hiar's properiy shortly after Mr. Hiar built his home. He said that if grades had been left as they were originally planned, the retaining wall would not have been necessary and Mr. Hiar's property could have been landscaped long ago. Clearly, this issues boils down to fundamental disagreement between Mr. Hiar and Mr. Braun over a common lot line situation involving grading and erosion control. Mr. Hiar doesn't wish to proceed until a satisfactory retaining wall is constructed. Mr. Braun feels that he has gone out of his way to be a good neighbor to Mr. Hiar and that the retaining wall is sufficient. During our meeting at nis residence Mr. Hiar made it clear that he was not taking issue with the city over the turf establishment. He seemed to understand the intent of the ordinance and stated that he was willing to comply once the issue with Mr. Braun had been resolved. He said that he has had a professional landscape plan prepared and that a number of improvements will be made to his front lawn including grading, installation of trees and shrubs, and an underground sprinkler system. In light of the issues and disagreements conceming this problem, coupled with the city's past involvement in resolving this dispute, I wouid like to enlist the assistance of the city attomey's office in re-examining this case. Specifically it would be helpful to know whether the city has any legal jurisdiction over the issue of the grading and retaining wall placement, and any expressed interest the city may have made in resolving this problem based on previous communications and/or agreements with either party. As you may be aware, the city had at one time obtained a$1,000 bond from Mr. Braun as a pledge of good faith to follow through with the establishment of the retaining walls. This is reflected in the conespondence from Mr. Braun's attomey which I believe was included in copies of the parcel file correspondence which I furnished to your office earlier this fa11. In a recent letter of correspondence, Mr. Hiar is now asking that the city cash the $1,000 bond out of negligence on Mr. Braun's part in completing the retaining wall in a satisfactory manner. 2 As we concluded during our telephone conversation, this does not appeaz to be a simple ? matter of turf grass establishment in accordance with the city's ordinance. There are other issues involved that raise questions over the degree of the cit}'s jurisdiction, the appropriate role of the city in resolving the retaining wa11 dispute, the need for clarification of any previous city commitments (vis-a-vis the bond), and the relationship of the retaining wall issue to the continued prosecution of Mr. Hiaz over the turfgrass issue. I'll look forward to meeting with you to review the files on the two properties and to discuss any additional coordination that may be necessary in order to determine the best course of legal ?ction on behalf of the city.

He expressed his frustration with the City going back to an issue with the Building Department in which he claims the property located at 3720 Knolt Ridge was not properly excavated and the home constructed has caused a drainage onto his property requiring landscape timbers and other corrective measures. Mr. Hiar has indicated that he is on record that he will not perform any corrective work to his yard until his neighbor has taken care of his property, satisfying landscaping requirements. . iWr. Hiar indicated a willingness to place money into an escrow with the City to resolve his turf establishment once the timbers and wail issue on the adjoining property is resolved. Mr. Hiar also stated that the parcel files of his neighbors in particular should have a record of these issues. I would like the files researched and, hopefully, we can meet for a few minutes and discuss this in further detail in the next few days. Thanks for your coordination. ?

As you are well aware, on September l, 1992, the Ciry of Eagan had served upon you a violations summons for failure to establish suitable turfgrass on your property. This citation followed two previous written notices fram the City Weed Inspector's office requiring the establishment of turfgrass no later than May 21, 1992. These notices were in accordance with Sections 7.08 and 10.21 of the City Code adopted in July, 1990. As you are also aware, these violation notices followed several previous noxious weed violations and numerous conversations between yourself and City staff during the past five or six years concerning turfgrass establishment and weed control. Based on my discussions with Mr. Hedges, it is my understanding that you are reluctant to pursue the establishment of turfgrass on your property pending the installation of a retaining wall on your neighbor's property located at 3710 Knollridge Drive. However, I would like to point out several related circumstances that would not indicate the need for a retaining wall prior to turfgrass establishment. First, based on my discussions with the City's Community Development and Engineering Departments, the City has and continues to maintain that the matter of the erosion and drainage is a civil issue between yourself and your neighbor. The Ciry has also been advised by legal counsel that it does not have a legal basis to become involved in resolving a dispute with your neighbor concerning the construction of the retaining wall. Second, I would like to point out that the City's request for turf establishment on your property principally relates to the front and side lot areas and not the rear lot area. The erosion that you are concerned about appears to be in the back 1 THE LONE OAK TREE ... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY ' Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer , f lot azea of your property and does not have any direct impact to the front or side lot areas. Consequently, the issue of the retaining wall should have no bearing on the timing of turfgrass establishment in these areas. Again, I want to emphasize that the City's issue with turfgrass establishment is separate from any dispute or conflict which you are having with your neighbor over the construction of a private retaining wall. The City has been extremely patient in working with you towards a resolution of the sodding of your property. We believe that we have followed all of the proper procedures in executing the City's legal requirements and notification procedures. By means of this letter, we wish to advise you that the City intends to continue to prosecute this matter through legal means and, if necessary, to take action to establish suitable turfgrass in accordance with the provision:s outlined within the City's ordinance. If, on the other hand, you choose to resolve this matter under your own initiative, through either seeding or sodding of the lawn (before the issue is adjudicated), any plans for City-initiated action wip be reversed and dropped.

In response I tried to reach Mr. Hiar by telephone on three separate occasions on Friday evening and Monday morning. I finally was able to reach him about 10:30 a.m. on Monday moming. Mr. Hiar stated that he was not going to proceed with the establishment of a lawn in his yard until the construction of a retaining wall by his neighbor at 3710 Knollridge was compieted. He said that a portion of the wall was up, but that it was not constructed properly, and that he didn't think it would last. He stated that he was holding the City partially at fault for the condition of the retaining wail because a building permit was approved for a home that was not suitable for the site in the first place. He said the grades of the neighboring lot were too high and that this was contributing to the erosion problem. He alleged that in order for his neighbor to construct the retaining wall correctly, it would require a direct access onto his (Mr. Hiar's) property. He claimed that part of his reluctance in establishing a lawn was that any future construction of the retaining wall would result in rutting and damage to his turf that "somebody would have to pay for". He went on to say that he had a professional landscape design drawn up shortly after they moved into their home. But, he said that he was unable to implement his landscape plan and the turf establishment for several years because of what he referred to as "deep unemployment". He said that his plan calls for the installation of irrigation, turf establishment, shrub beds, and trees and that he is concerned about any impact the construction of a retaining wall would have on his landscaping investment. I explained to Mr. Hiar that the principle issue for the City was his failure to establish turfgrass on his front and side lot properties. I made it clear that the Ciry no longer had an issue with the backlot portion of his yard and that this had appeared to have been seeded and was growing reasonably well. I stated that even if he did landscape his front yard, only a small portion would be disrupted by the construction of the retaining wall. In response, he stated that significant grading had to be done on his property to implement his landscaping plan and that there was no point in proceeding with such grading until the retaining wall issue was resolved. 1 p I reminded Mr. Hiar that this issue had been ongoing for six years, and that he has yet to make any attempt at establishing turfgrass through either sodding or seeding. He countered by saying that he has yet to see a good definition of "turfgiass", and that it was subject to interpretation. I informed him that the ordinance adopted in 1990 made it very clear that suitable turfgrass needed to be established within one growing season of the date of occupancy and that his failure to do so had clearly resulted in a lawn which did not meet the intention of the ordinance (i.e. there is very little cultured turfgrass in his lawn). He said he wasn't sure, but thought that he might be bringing this issue of turfgrass definition before the court at his appearance on September 17th. He said that there are many lawns in Minneapolis that have compost piles and wildflowers coming right out to the street. I explained that his cunent situation was leading to the spread of noxious and nuisance weeds to a?oining properties and that there was a very real impact to the neighboring property awners. In summary, I told him that the principle issue with his property was enforcemen,t of the turfgrass establishment ordinance and that the issue involving the retaining. wall was a civil matter between he and his neighbor. , John f{.

To the Court: In regard to the above referenced complaint, I respectfully submit the enclosed photograph of work in progress at my residence. This work will bring my residence in compliance as my obligation has been described by Ms. Sharon K. Hills, Prosecuting Attorney, during a phone conversation on September 16, 1992. For the record, I have refrained from landscaping my yard to date because my neighbor's yard and the fill soil used to bring their yard up to buildable grades continues to erode and creep onto my property. Whatever l do to comply with the above referenced citation at this time will need to be undone when my dispute with my neighbor is resolved. The contruction of my neighbor's property was Permited by the City of Eagan. Over the last year, I have obtained estimates to landscape my yard ranging between $7,000 to $10,000, but not one of the landscapers were willing to stand behind their work because of the threat of damage to the landscaping resulting from soil erosion or soils creeping from my neighbor's improperiy filled and graded property onto my property. I have made repeated attempts to meet with City OYficials regarding this matter to no avaii. Last week I discused this matter with the City Administrator and subordinates. Letters which were promised were not mailed and meetings which'were scheduled at my property were canceled abruptly. I am only undertaking the establishment of turf at my residence at this time in order to comply with the above referenced cit.iation, but under no circumstance am I, by action or implication, relieving the City of Eagan,irom liability for issuing a building permit to grade and construct of my neighbor's home or for bringing this case case to court.

I would be happy to facilitate this meeting and would hope that we could all work toward a common resolution. I would suggest that we meet on site during the late afternoon of Monday, October 26, at 4:00 p.m. We will bring the files, drawings and any other information we have to that meeting. If this date and time is not acceptable to you andjor your neighbors, we will attempt to schedule a different date during that week. Again, I am hopeful that we will be able to bring about a resolution that helps you as neighbors and respects the integrity of the city code regulations requiring the establishment of turfgrass.

NOV 5 (992 Thank you for facilitating the meeting yesterday at my property to inspect and understand the reasons why I am delaying the establishment of higher quality turf grass. I feel the Braun's non-attendance at the meeting shows a continued pattern of non-cooperation and neighborly respect involving the lot line/retaining wall issue, which dates back to November, 1987. The Brauns had previously stated their written intentions to resolve the wall issue in a neighborly manner, yet they have not spoken to me for years. The Brauns have knowingly and intentionally trespassed on my property on numerous occasions. At the times of trespass and during these many years, I have remained silent. As you stated during our conversation of Octoher 7, the retaining wall §Wlift issue had gotten lost in the bureaucracy and the city's focus has been placed on the wrong property owners. It is time for the city to cash the $1,000 check deposited by the Brauns, which was a financial assurance that retaining wall construction would be completed by May 15, 1988. As you"witnessed, in order for the Brauns to construct an adequate retaining wall, grading of my property will be necessary and the Brauns will need access for wall construction via my property. Extensive grading will be needed to provide my property with proper drainage. It is logical that grading and retaining wall construction would take place simultaneously. Additionally, the assure the struct porch. Again, it to accomplish the property.

PAUL BRAUN - 3710 KNOLL RIDGE DRIVE On Monday, November 2nd, 1992 I spoke with Mr. Paul Braun by telephone regarding our meeting with Mr. Floyd Hiar, 3720 Knoll Ridge Drive on Thursday, October 29th, 1992. I explained to Mr. Braun our purpose in meeting with Mr. Hiar and the persons that were at that meeting representing the City of Eagan. I described to Mr. Braun what I thought was the principle concern of Mr. Hiar - that there continued to be erosion along the side lot area of Mr. Braun's property particularly at the point where the back slope drops off between the two common lot lines. I briefly reviewed with Mr. Braun the history of the situation and explained that the City was still pursuing the establishment of suitable turfgrass on the Hiar property in conformance with the City ordinance. I told him that I thought Mr. Hiar clearly recognized the need to resolve the turfgrass issue, but had expressed concerns about doing any work until the erosion from Mr. Braun's property had been satisfied. Mr. Braun responded that he felt he had taken care of the erosion concerns with the installation of the two retaining walls. He said that he didn't feel he had any obligation to build a wall in the first place since Mr. Hiar had significantly altered the grades following the construction of Mr. Braun's home. He acknowledged, though, that the work on his project had not been completed and that he still intends to install shrubbery and other ground covers along the retaining walls to further stabilize the soils. He said that he was aware of the steeper slopes toward the back of his retaining wall and that at one time there was a small amount of erosion at that location. He said that he had thought he had solved the problem with the ground covers, but would be willing to take another look at it. He wasn't sure if an additional retaining wall would be necessary or if simply some shaping of the ground and installation of plant material would suffice. With the change in weather, he said that he wouldn't be doing any thing further on his property until next spring. I told him that if this erosion problem could be brought under control that the City has the assurance from Mr. Hiar that he would follow through with establishment of a lawn next yeaz. Mr. Braun said that this was still an important issue with both himself and his neighbors and that he was very appreciative of the work that Jim McGuffee and other members of the City staff had done in helping to control the weeds on Mr. Hiar's property during the last s'vc years. He said that he would be more than happy to explain to Mr. Hiar what his plans were for completing the retaining wall and installing plant material, but said the last time he had spoken with Mr. Hiar was four years ago. Despite their differences of opinion, I feel that we are drawing closer to resolving the issue of turfgrass establishment on the Hiar property. After speaking with Mr. Braun, I am r 1 • MR PAUL BRAUN November 3, 1992 Page Two convinced that he will be taking the necessary steps (albeit somewhat reluctantly) to bring the issue of the retaining wall and erosion to conclusion next spring. I told him that I understood the perspectives and concerns on both sides of this issue and that the City would greatly appreciate any work he would do in helping to conclude that process. It is obvious to me that he too wants to get this problem solved so that it can be a more peaceful relarionship between he and his neighbor, Mr. Hiar. In light of our meeting with Mr. Hiar and my telephone conversation with Mr. Braun, I have recommended to Sharon Hills, Assistant City Attomey, that the action against Mr. Hiar be continued for dismissal until spri.ng 1993. This will allow Mr. Braun time to address the situation involving any additional erosion from his property onto W. Hiar's and will allow Mr. Hiaz to respond accordingly with turf establishment as soon as this work has been completed. If the "erosion problem" is solved to the satisfaction of the City next spring, it will be incumbent upon Mr. Hiar to complete turf establishment in a timely manner. If he fails to do so, the City will then continue with its criminal prosecution of Mr. Hiar and begin the publi earing process for establishment of turfgrass in the front and side lot portions of Mr. 's nronertv.

It has been acknowledged by yourself and Darrel Pearson (your contractor) that you changed the topography of your lot greatly. This has created a situation where you have directed your lot's surface drainage onto my property. The change in your lot's topography does not follow the development plan presented by James R. Hill, Inc. for the devel= opment of Rose Hill Addition and approved by the City of Eagan. Because your contractor has not followed the development plan, you have placed my home and property in danger of flooding and land erosion. This would most surely cause my family physical, mental and monetary losses. Mr. Steve Hanson, Assistant Building official and Mr. Mike Foertsch, Assistant City Engineer, have looked into this matter and have acknowledged that the development plan was not followed. Additionally, they recognize the potential danger to my home and property. They have indicated that you will be required to con- struct some type of retaining wall or walls on your property. I have several concerns about the construction o£ this re- taining wall or walls: 1. The retaining wall or walls should be clearly constructed on your side of the property line. 2. Surface drainage and roof run-off should be contained and controlled on your property. 3. The cost of this retaining wall or walls will be the respon- sibility of you or your contractor. 4. The costs and expenses for maintenance and repair of the re- taining wall or walls will be yours. ? I Mr. Paul Braun November 18, 1987 Page Two 5. Should the retaining wall or walls fail (i.e. deterioration or collapse), you will be held legally responsible £or all damages and required to correct these failures in 30 days. 6. Due to the direct effect this retaining wall or walls has upon my property, my input and review of construction plans should take place. 7. The final design, material selection and construction plan should be reviewed by the Eagan City Engineer. 8. On-site inspections during construction and final approval should be provided by the Eagar. City Engineer. 9. A statement of ownership and legal responsibilities regarding a retaining wall or walls should be signed and recorded as a part of future title to our individual pro- perties. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. I can be reached at 456-0385 or 456-0387. Sinc relZ:-- Floyd X.t-'e Hiar cc: D. Pearson S.

Also I have incurred additional costs to re-establish proper surface drainage of my property. During the time of bringing in extra fill for Mr. Braun's lot, a dump truck was tipped over onto its side and almost rolled into my home. At that time, you promised to: 1) Remove excess fill from my property; 2) Establish proper drainage away from my house in the affected areas; 3) Grade my front yard; 4) Clean up the mess caused by the use of my property; and 5) Give me a dump truck load of black dirt.

City staff has met with or corresponded- through telephone conversations with yourself, your builder, and Mr. Hiar on numerous occasions regarding these concerns. It has been mutually agreed upon by all parties concerned that the house construction on Lot 12, Block 1, Rose Hill Addition, has necessitated some type of retaining wall construction. This retaining wall construction will prevent your home construction from adversely impacting Mr. Hiar's property. As far as the concerns Mr. Hiar outlined in his letter, the City concurs with numbers 1, 3, 4 and 5. The City partially agrees with Item #2 in that the "increase" in surface drainage and roof runoff generated as a result of the home construction should be conveyed to the street or the low area at the rear of the house through the use of the.common lot line drainage and utility easement. Item #6 is between yourself and Mr. Hiar to resolve. The City presently does not have a policy or Code requirement which provides for City staff review or approval of retaining walls on private property (items 7 and 8). Construction of a retaining wall within the limits of your lot implies ownership and related legal responsibilities on your part (item #9). As of December 3, 1987, the retaining wall construction was not completed. A visual inspection also revealed a severe grade differential along the common lot line. I understand the recent lot grading by Mr. Hiar has accentuated this grade differential. I am presuming that the retaining wall constzuction has been postponed due to weather constraints. ?'?

Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Hiar Dear Mr. Foertsch: Our firm represents Paul and Catherine Braun, who have instructed us to conclude their dispute with Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Hiar since their attempts to resolve the dispute on a neighborly basis have failed. This letter is in response to your certified letter of December 7, 1987 insisting that our clients pledge $1,000 before they can obtain a Certificate of Occupancy so they can move into their new home. As you know, the this problem, and on the afternoon clients and Floyd the Brauns would learned of the twi Brauns had three contacts with you regarding you in fact approved two small retaining walls of November 13, 1987 during a meeting with my Hiar. During that meeting Mr. Hiar announced "be surprised at what I am going to do" when he D retaining walls you had approved. We believe you are aware during the evening of November 13, 1987 Mr. Hiar graded nearly three feet of his lot exposing an additional three feet of our clients' subsoil. The excavation work was done within an area dedicated to a utility and drainage easement. You are undoubtedly aware that when a landowner exposes a neighbor's subsoil by excavating away the surface soils on his property he has the duty and expense of providing for the support of his neighbor's subsoil. In carrying out his threat to the Brauns, Mr. Hiar has actually incurred liability for the cost of HARVEY, SHEEHAN & BENSON A PARTNERSHIP INCIVOING PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS L4W OFFICES ONE CORPORATE CENTER 7401 METRO BOULEVARD SUITE 555 MINNEAPOLIS.

Mr. Hiar's actions also violated the terms and conditions of the drainage easement. We understand the City of Eagan requires grading permits, and we request your prompt advice whether Mr. Hiar was given a grading permit to remove the three feet from the easement area and expose three feet of our clients' subsoils. As you know, there is no sod on Mr. and Mrs. Hiar's lot, and his improper grading will obviously create a serious erosion problem. Our clients are not inclined to spend a lot of money on a wall that will soon be damaged by the erosion problem Mr. Hiar has intentionally created. Our clients are now incurring daily damages in excess of $35 since they cannot move into their new home solely on account of Mr. Hiar's unlawful actions. We don't believe that the condition of the lot 1987 is material to your determination of whet of Occupancy should be issued.

The Brauns are making the demanded deposit with a complete reservation of rights and the understanding that the dispute may be submitted to the Dakota County District Court if a resolution satisfactory to the parties cannot be obtained.

Our clients are hopeful that inspection may take place on Friday, December 11, 1987. We and our clients also ask that you re- evaluate your request for the $1,000 bond in view of Mr. Hiar's clear liability for the cost of the new wall. Our clients would appreciate the return of their $1,000 so the dispute can be resolved in the appropriate forum. By copy of this letter I am advising Mr. and Mrs. Hiar of our clients' position.

It is my understanding that final grading has not been completed on the Braun property and, that at this point, your property has not been sodded. Apparently, there is a drainage problem between the two homes with a concern on your part that there will be an inappropriate amount of runoff from the Braun property into your yard. I have copies of your correspondence and that of City staff in addition to a letter from Mr. Braun's attorney. It appears that the City did require Mr. 6raun to provide retaining walls to protect your property and that he did deposit $1,000 with the City to insure that that is done at the earliest possi'ole time. However, I am very concerned to find that you had, apparently, excavated as much as three feet of your property adjacent to the Braun property creating an additional erosion problem. It is our suggestion that the City now require you to ptovide a financial guarantee, of approximately $500, to insure that both sides of the property line are restored in a manner to allow the prooer flowage of storm runoff. If this is not acceptable, it seems that the only alternative is to return Mr. Braun's $1,000 and let you and Mr. Braun solve the dispute in County Court. Sincerely yours, HAUGE, EIDE & KELLER, P.A.

He expressed his frustration with the City going back to an issue with the Building Department in which he claims the property located at 3720 Knoll Ridge was not properly excavated and the home constructed has caused a drainage onto his property requiring landscape timbers and other corrective measures. Mr. Hiar has indicated that he is on record that he will not perform any corrective work to his yard until his neighbor has taken care of his property, satisfying landscaping requirements. Mr. Hiar indicated a willingness to place money into an escrow with the Ciry to resolve his turf establishment once the timbers and wall issue on the adjoining property is resolved. Mr. Hiar also stated that the parcel files of his neighbors in particular should have a record of these issues. I would like the files researched and, hopefully, we can meet for a few minutes and discuss this in further detail in the next few days. Thanks for your coordination.

Sincerely yours, HAUGE, EIDE & KELLER, P.A. David G. Keller DGK:ras cc: Mike Foertsch? John M. Harvey `r -Gw q (? MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CTI'Y ADMINISTRATOR FROM: JOHN VONDELINDE, SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS DATE: AUGUST 5, 1992 SUBJEGT: TURF ESTABLISHMENT NOTICE - FLOYD HIAR - 3720 KNOLL RIDGE DRIVE This memorandum is provided as a follow-up to our recent conversation concerning the ongoing weed complaints and turfgrass establishment issues at the Floyd Hiar residence - 3720 Knoll Ridge Drive, Eagan. Back round As you may be aware, Mr. Hiar has been the owner/occupant of the residence at 3720 Knoll Ridge Drive since it was originally constructed in 1985. During the past six years, City staff (particularly the Assistant City Weed Inspector) have received numerous complaints from the neighborhood concerning the appearance of Mr. Hiar's lawn. But, despite the enforcement efforts by the City, coupled with the disgruntled feelings of his neighbors, Mr. Hiar has still not installed turfgrass on his property. As a result of his inattention to this problem, the City has been sending weed violations to Mr. Hiar on an annual basis. In addition, there have also been numerous phone conversations and meetings with Mr. Hiar concerning this problem. I personally met with Mr. Hiar two or three years ago on this issue and have also discussed it with him by telephone. As you are aware, prior to July 1990, the City ordinance simply required that grass and weeds be maintained at a height of not more than six inches. In addition, the State Noxious Weed Law (which the City also enforces through iYs Weed Inspector) requires that noxious and"nuisance weeds be controlled, to the eactent that they be removed either mechanically or through chemical means. Consequently, the most that the City could do in terms of enforcement, prior to July 1990, was to simply "control" the weeds and any grass at a maximum height of six inches. This was done through the issuance of the City's standazdized enforcement notices and the state's noacious weed notification form. In July 1990, the City Council adopted changes to the Cit}'s turfgrass ordinance which now permits the City to require the establishment of suitable turfgrass on all &ont and side lot areas of developed property and all maintained portions of the rear lot areas. The code further requires that turf establishment occur within one growing season of homeowner occupancy or final grading, whichever is sooner. The purpose of adopting this ordinance, . TURF ESTABLISHMENT NOTICE August 5, 1992 Page 2. as you will recall, was to give the City a new tool of enforcement to ensure that property owners would take the necessary steps to install suitable turfgrass within a reasonable period of time. I should also make you aware that Mr. Hiar is not the only resident who has failed to follow through with turf establishment in a timely fashion. There have been others over the years, but the issue with Mr. Hiar stems back further than any other that I can recall. Additionally, I understand that he is the onlv property owner at this point who has not complied with the City's previous requests to install turfgrass. One of the purposes in establishing this new ordinance, of course, was specifically to address these types of persistent and lingering turfgrass violations. Cunent Issue As you are aware, the current issue between Mr. Hiar and the City stems from a turfgrass violation letter that was sent to him on May 21, 1991. A copy of that form letter is attached for your reference. As you can see, this is the standard letter which we are currentiy using on a11 properties where weed violations and the need for turf establishment eacists. This letter, in a very informative and non-threatening manner, requests that the homeowner take action within the prescribed period of time (generally one growing season or one calendar year) to establish suitable turfgrass on their property. The City's notification to Mr. Hiar gave him until May 21, 1992 to establish turfgrass. Considering the length of time that we have been dealing with Mr. Hiar on this issue, this seemed to be a very reasonable period of time, and was consistent with other turfgrass violation notices we were sending at that time. On Apri123, 1992 the Assistant Weed Inspector, LeRoy Berg, sent a"thirty-day" reminder notice to Mr. Hiar indicating that his twelve-month turf establishment date would expire on May 21, 1992. Subsequent to that notification, a follow-up inspection of the property was conducted by Leroy on June il, 1992. That inspection revealed that Mr. Hiar had not followed through with seeding or sodding as required in the City's official notice. Recognizing Mr. Hiar's disregard of the City's directive, along with other pending properties that were reaching their "sunset" date, I requested a formal opinion from our City attomey's office relative to the basis for entering private property to perform turf establishment and the proper legal procedure to follow in such cases. Sharon K Hills responded with a four page opinion concerning the Cit}'s legal authority to pursue such action. To capsulize, she stated the following: 1. that the City has a right to enter upon private property, without a court order, to establish turfgrass, ? TURF ESTABLISHMENT NOTICE August 5, 1992 Page 3. 2. the head of the department (and presumably his assigns) responsible for enforcement of turfgrass weed regulations shall determine whether sod or seed shall be implanted, 3. the determination shall be made on a basis of financial and practical reasonableness, 4, if the amount of the contract is estimated to be $10,000 or less, the contract may be made by either open quotation or in the open market, at the discretion of the governing body i.e. sealed bids are not required, 5. reimbursement of costs incurred by the City must be charged to the owner before any unpaid chazges are made to special assessments. The balance of her memorandum goes on to address the specific legal basis for this authority and some pertinent considerations, such as follow-up maintenance of the turfgrass by the property owner. In light of the City attomey's recommendations, and following my discussions with Ken Vraa, I advised Leroy to initiate the process of turfgrass establishment at the Hiar residence by first obtaining three written quotations for preparation and sodding of the property. During the past week, Mr. Berg has been working with several landscape contractors to secure these quotations. As you know, I.eRoy's inspection of the Hiar property on Tuesday, July 28th (with a landscaping contractor), resulted in something of a confrontation between Mr. Hiar and the City. From my discussions with LeRoy, I understand that Mr. Hiar ordered LeRoy off of his property and suggested that he was going to call the police if it happened again. LeRoy informed him that he was simply following the procedural aspects of the Cit}'s turfgrass violation enforcement and, under City code and state law, had the right to enter Mr. Hiar's property to perform the inspectiun. I further understand that Mr. Hiar brought up several other zoning related issues in the neighborhood such as the need for the neighbors to fix their fences, etc. One of the issues presumably relates to a ongoing conflict between a next door neighbor (Mr. Braun) and himself conceming a drainage problem that dates back to 1986 or 1987. LeRoy said that he told Mr. Hiar that these other issues were not germane to the turfgrass violation. He reiterated that his primary task was to ensure that turfgrass establishment occurred on the Hiar property in accordance with City code. In accordance with our discussion, and pursuant to the City's legal authority, my plans are to have staff continue to proceed with this case. By August 7th, I should have available the written quotations to perform sodding at the Hiar residence. Once those quotations are received it is my intention to meet with Ken Vraa to discuss the quotations and to set a date TLJRF ESTABLISHMENT NOTICE August 5, 1992 Page 4. for the work to be done. As I mentioned to you, we aze planning to issue another notification to Mr. Hiar giving him a two-week advance notice of the date that the work is to occur. If, during that final two-week period, he takes action to complete the work himself, this issue will be dropped by the City. If he fails to do so, I believe that our only prudent altemative is to honor the procedure laid out in the City's ordinance, and in so doing, respond to the many concerns of the adjacent neighbors who have waited siac yeazs for this problem to be resolved. If you have any additional concerns or quesrions, I would be happy to respond to them at cc: Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation Rich Pelletier, Park Operations Supervisor Leroy Berg, Assistant Weed Inspector 5b:hedges.213 r&v/nan y . - :4EDsRV OF 3830 PILOT KNOB ROAD THOMnS EGAN EAGAN, MINNESOTA 55122-1697 wya PHONE: (612) 454-8100 DavIO K.

CITY OF ETGAN Dear Mr and/or Ms. First Name, Last Name The Eagan City Council has adopted a series of ordinances which govern the maintenance of weeds and the establishment of turfgrass on lots or land parcels within the City of Eagan. The "weed control" ordinance has been in effect since April 21, 1981 and was recently revised by the City Council on July 10, 1990. In addition, the City Council adopted a"turfgrass establishment" ordinance on July 24, 1990, which requires owners of lots and parcels to establish suitable turfgrass within one growing season. 'Phe purpose of these regulations is to protect and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the City through the abatement of hazardous and nuisance conditions within the City. The City is also responsible for enforcing the state's Noxious Weed Law (Minnesota Statute 18.171). Weed Violation The property located at ' (Address) ? P.I.D. # has been found to be in violation of the City Weed Ordinance (City Code, Section 7.08, Subd. 3 and Section 10.21, Subd. 4). A copy of the ordinance is enclosed for your reference: In compliance with the ordinance, you are being asked to cut or eradicate these plants, within seven (7) days of official receipt of this notice, to a height of not more than six inches. If you fail to take the appropriate action, the City will be forced to arrange this work with an independent contractor and will bill you directly for the charges involved. 1 THE LONE OAK TREE. ..THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWiH IN OUR COMMUNITY Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Aclion Employer ; .. Turfarass Establishment The property.located at this same address will also be required to establish turfgrass on all maintained portions of said property within a period of one full growing season from the completion of final grading or date of oocupancy, whichever is sooner. This includes all front and side lot areas as well as rear portions of the lot intended for occupation and use. (See attached City Code Sec. 7.08, Subd. 2 and Sec. 10.21, Subd. 2.) Appropriate methods for establishing suitable turfgrass would normally involve the complete eradication of all weeds (through grading or application of a broad spectrum herbicide), removal of rocks and debris, final soil preparation, followed by sodding or a seeding/mulch application. In most cases, supplemental watering is also recommended until such point as the turfgrass roots become adequately developed. In accordance with this ordinance, you will be required to establish turfgrass on the property within one full growing season of the date of official notification by this letter. Therefore, the property must be in full compliance no later than Similar to the weed ordinance, if you fail to take appropriate action, the City will arrange the work with an independent contractor and will bill you for the costs involved. As a final point of clarification, until such time as sodding or seeding is completed, the City will continue to inspect the property to ensure that it is in compliance with the City's weed cutting ordinance.

Attached is a copy of correspondence to Mr. Paul Braun who is the lot owner. I have also sent a copy to Darreii Pearson, the contractor for Mr. Braun. As we have discussed, the changes to the topography of the lot at 3710 Knoll Ridge Drive have placed my property in jeopardy of future flooding and damage. This was created by the decisions of Mr. Pearson (the contractor) regarding location of the house on the lot and grading changes from the original development plan. In the letter to Mr. Braun, 2 make reference to #9 - Concerns about the construction of a retaining wall or wails. I feel they offer a solution to this issue. Iwould like to h--ar £rom yourself or Mike I'cartsch as this problem is resolved.

Resolving the problems caused by Mr. Darrell Pearson (contractor) and Mr. Paul Braun (lot owner) at 3710 Knoll Ridge Drive has been very frustrating to me. Attached is a copy of - correspondence to Mr. Braun and Mr. Pearson. The letter clearly identifies my concerns and offers a plan of action that hopefully can resolve the drainage and erosion problems. As progress, proposals or problems occur regarding a retain- ing wall or walls, I would like to be kept informed by yourself or Steve Hanson. Additionally, I feel written plans, drawings and correspondence from Mr. Braun and/or Mr. Pearson are impor- tant. As we have both experienced, the verbal promises of contractors and individuals are often meaningless. Thanks again. Sincerely, Floyd Hiar cc: Steve Hanson EnClosure • ?y ?

Your staff has been most helpful in assisting me with this problem. From what I have learned, this problem could have been ' eliminated if the City of Eagan had stronger codes and a better system of review for new construction. In an effort to help the City of Eagan, I am volunteering my time to discuss with yourself, city staff, city council or com- mittees my observations. 2 can be reached at 456-0385 or 456-0387.

FLOYD HIAR 3720 Knoll Ridge Drive Eagan, Minnesota 55122-3139 November 18, 1987 Mr. Paul Braun 3710 Knoll Ridge Drive Eagan, Minnesota 55122 Dear Mr. Braun: At the tirrie of ground breaking for your new home and in many discussions since, I have stated my concerns regarding how you planned to control surface drainage and to retain your lot's ero- sion along our adjoining property line. Tt has been acknowledged by yourself and Darrel Pearson (your contractor) that you changed the topography of your lot greatly. This has created a situation where you have directed your lot's surface drainage onto my property. The change in your lot's topography does not follow the development plan presented by James R. Hill, Inc. for the devel- opment of Rose Hill Addition and approved by the City of Eagan. Because your contractor has not £ollowed the development plan; you have placed my home and property in danger of flooding and land erosion. This would most surely cause my family physical, mental and monetary losses. Mr. Steve Hanson, Assistant Building official and Mr. Mike Foertsch, Assistant City Engineer,, have looked into this matter and.have acknowledged that the development plan was not followed. Additionally, they recognize the potential danger to my home and property. They have indicated that you will be required to con- struct some type of retaining wall or walls on your property. I have several concerns about the construction of this re- taining wall or walls: l. The retaining wall or walls should be clearly constructed on your side of the property line. 2. Surface drainage and roof run-off should be contained and controlled on your property. 3. The cost of this retaining wall or walls will be the respon- sibility of you or your contractor. 4. The costs and expenses for maintenance and repair of the re- taining wall or walls will be yours. .: •. Mr. Paul Braun November 18, 1987 Page Two 5. Should the retaining wall or walls fail (i.e. deterioration or collapse), you will be held legally responsible for all damages and required to corr'ect these failures in 30 days. 6. Due to the direct effect this retaining wall or walls has upon my property, my input and review of construction plans should take place. 7. The final design, material selection and construction plan should be reviewed by the Eagan City Engineer. S. On-site inspections during construction and final approval should be provided by the Eagar. City Engineer. 9. A statement of ownership and legal responsibilities regarding a retaining wall or walls should be signed and recorded as a part of future title to our individual pro- perties. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. I can be reached at 456-0385 or 456-0387. Sinc rely, ? ? Floyd Hiar cc: D. Pearson S.

January 8, 1988 Mr. Floyd Hiar 3720 Knoll Ridge Drive Eagan, MN 55122-3139 RE: Hiar/Braun Dispute Dear Mr. Hiar: Recently, our City Engineering staff asked me to review the dispute that has arisen between you and your neighbor, Paul Braun, who has recently constructed a home adjacent to your home. It is my understanding that final grading has not been completed on the Braun property and, that at this point, your property has not been sodded. Apparently, there is a drainage problem between the two homes with a concern on your part that there will be an inappropriate amount of runoff from the Braun property into your yard. I have copies of your correspondence and that of City staff in addition to a letter from Mr. Braun's attorney. It appears that the City did require Mr. Braun to provide retaining walls to protect your property and that he did deposit $1,000 with the City to insure that that is done at the earliest possible time. However, I am very concerned to find that you had, apparently, excavated as much as three feet of your property adjacent to the Braun property creating an additional erosion problem. It is our suggestion that the City now require you to provide a financial guarantee, of approximately $500, to insure that both sides of the property line are restored in a manner to allow the proper flowage of storm runoff. If this is not acceptable, it seems that the only alternative is to return Mr. Braun's $1,000 and let you and Mr. Braun solve the dispute in County Court. Sincerely yours, HAUGEt EIDE & KELLER, P.A.
