COMMENTS;As I have met on the Rahn Rd. site with
Co.Appraisers,Realters,and St. Lic. Appraisers,all state that it
is quite obvious that the wider and more traveled an artery the
more it effects the value of the home to the negative.Since this
is what the city has done here and state in thier reports as one
of the reasons for the new construction they have compounded the
negative benifit of Iiving on this artery.Thus are not entittled
to assessments.

MEMORANDIIM
TO: Tom Hedges, City Administrator
FROM: Annette M. Margarit
DATE: March 4, 1992
RE: Rahn Road Appellants' Motion for Costs
Enclosed please find a copy of Judge Mansur's Order granting the Rahn
Road Appellants' Motion for costs in the sum of $5,593.00. This
Motion was heard by Judge Mansur on February 28, 1992. We opposed the
granting any of Appellants' costs on the basis that the City Council
had followed the Legislature's process in adopting the appraisal and
the City should not be punished by having to pay expenses for the
Appellants when they have already been afforded their remedy namely,
vacation of the assessment.
A problem with our position, however, is that Minnesota Statutes
Chapter 429 concerning special assessments specifically awards costs
to a prevailing municipality but is silent to whether a prevailing
property owner is entitled to costs. In a 1979 case involving
Burnsville, however, the Minnesota Supreme Court stated that it
"could see no logical reason why a prevailing municipality should be
entitled to costs but not a prevailing landowner." See VillaQe of
Burnsville Assessments, 287 N.W.2d 375, 377 (Minn. 1979). The Court
futher noted that awarding costs is up to the discreation of the
trial judge. Id. In light of that case law, it is not surprising that
the Judge awarded the Appellants their costs.
I ask that this matter be placed on the March 17, 1992 City Council
Agenda for approval of the issuance of a check to the Appellants in
tr.e sum of $5,593.00 as ordered by Judge Mansur.
If you have any questions or need any further information, please
contact me.

(Seal) Costs an Disburseiig nts - At oral argument the issue was not
the amount or the rea.sonableness since it is slightly more than
$450 per parcel; rather, whether under the relevant statute and
case .Zaw the Appellants are entitled to reimbursement for expert
appraisal services and testimonial costs.
In Village of Burnsville Assessments, 287 N.W.2d 375 (Minn.
1979) the Minnesota Supreme Court stated "...we- can see no
logical reason why a prevazling municipality should 6e entitled
to costs but not a prevailing land owner..."
In addition, Minn. Stat. 549.04 provides, in part, as
follows: "In every action in District Court, the prevailing
. party...shall be allowed reasonable disbursements paid or
incurred, including fees and mileage for service of process by
the•sheriff or by a private person."
The taxation of costs is governed by the Rules of Civil
Procedure and by Chapter 549 of Minnesota Statutes. The City
cites Minn. Stat. 645.21, Subd. 1, as a basis for the preclusion
of awarding of costs and disbursements. However, a full reading
of Minn. Stat. 645., and more specifically, 645.26, Subd. 1,
leads this Court to conclude that when a general provision in a
law is in conflict with a. special provision in the same or
another law the two shall be construed, if possible, so that
3
i
, i
effect may be given to both. In addition, this Court concludes
that where a conflict between two provisions is irreconcilable,
the special provision shall prevail and shall be construed as an
exception to the general provision. Finally, in this particular
case, the provisions of Minn. Stat. 549.04 and 429.081 are not
irreconcilable and, pursuant to the specific provisions of Minn.
Stat. 645.26, this Court construes each so that effect may be
given to both of the aforementioned statutes. While the City's argument is one of inerit, under the facts
of the case the Court is persuaded that the Appellant land owners
are entitled to reimbursement and it is so ordered.

Those proposed "technical" amended Findings which are not
germane to the determination of the trial's outcome have not been
addressed herein.
The Court recognizes that there are two sides to this issue,
and the City's case was fully, competently and fairly presented ,
2
to the Court. Appraisal di the properties was of the greatest
`import to the tacifinder. As articulated in this Memorandum and
in the December 1a, 1991 Ffndinc.?s, Order and Memorandum, in the ;
factfincler1s view, the faGts tp-t1d to support Appellants.
The crux of Appellants' olAim ia that the City unfairly
asse-qsed them Par strset improvements. Tha etandard for ,valid
speoial assessments is: (1) the ].and must reeeive a spacial
benefit from the a.mprovement being aonstxucted; (2) the
assessment must be uniform
(3) the aosessulent may not

lindQm, 307 Minn. 368, 369, 240 N.W.2d
Special bensfit fs measured by the
value of the land owing tid the
improvement. In appraising the aubjaat property, an
appraiser datermineg what 'a willing buyex would pay a willing
ee11er far ths property before, and then after, the imprnvement
has been conatructed. ?c. While the govarnment entity is
presumed to have set the assessment lega11y, an appellant may
overcome tha presumption by introduaing cpmpetent evidence that
the assessment is greater than the inorease i.n.market vaJ.ue o£
the property due to the improvement. ,?. These are the criteria
whivh the Court applied ta the Pacts pxessnted at trigl.
It shoula be noted that in its MQmoxandum sunporting its °
motion for a new trial or amended. f indings, the City 'rel.ies on
Villauq--of Ectina y,j, Zoscgb, 264 M3,rin. 84, 199 N.W.2d 809 (1962).
In that case, tha residsnts whose property abuttecl the i.mpravad

length of France Avenue objected to special assessments for .
widening and paving of the street. Minnesota's Supreme Court
stated the law in Villaae of Edina, without setting out a
standard or formula, by saying that "[t]he basis and
justification of a special assessment are benefits to the
property affected... [b]enefits which may be demonstrated by a
mathematical exactness are not always required in order to
support an assessment." Village of Edina v. Joseph, 119 N.W.2d at 818. ?\ Minnesota has also adopted a specific test, as cited in
Carlson-Lanq Realty Co., above, which this Court has chosen to
apply. While the City asserts that Viliaqe of Edina controls and
that the December, 1991 decision fails to abide by it, it appears
that the decision is consistent with both cases and in conformity .
with Minnesota law. I
Both parties attempted to establish evidence of the ?
I
properties' market value. Appellants' expert, Mr. Daniels, appraised each property based on individualized, detailed inspection of the properties and analysis of "comparables". His
written appraisals were for both "before" and "after" values.
Mr. Daniels factored into his appraisals his analysis of the
. efEect of the Rahn Road improvements. There was also evidence
, that many prospective buyers refused to make offers for purchase
of Rahn Road property after the improvements, and because of
them, and testimony about the actual sales data available for
those properties. Some of that data indicated that average sale prices of
4
,
, Eagan homes in 1991 were 11.5% higher than 1988 averages. Yet,
? an assessed Rahn Road home whose owner did not participate in
this action, which was bought in 1988 (before improvements) and
sold in 1991 (after improvements) failed to achieve that 11.5%
increase. The City used this home in its effort to show that ,
some increased value occurred. But the home's appreciation plus
the cost of the improvements was significantly less than the
price needed to justify the 11.5% average sale price plus the
assessment cost.
Mr. Daniels's credentials, his testimony and his exhibits
were persuasive. That evidence indicated that the Rahn Road
improvements had not only not benefitted the Appellants'
properties but that the real market value of the properties had
been adversely effected. Where no benefit is conferred by the ;
improvement, no special assessment is permitted.
The City, on the other hand, offered evidence which was less
persuasive. The City's well-qualified expert, Mr. Metzen,
testified based upon more general presumptions. about the '
individual properties. He did not inspect or appraise the
specific homes which were assessed but rather relied on square
_ footage and frontage statistics to determine.comparable prices.
He further generalized from his comparables, using smaller homes,
based on square footage, to generalize fair market value for
larger homes.
In its position as the finder of fact, the Court must choose -
one party's evidence over the other. Appellants' more specific
5
testimony was simply more convincing. .
The determination of Rahn Road as a"collector" street and
the width of the improved road could be relevant as to whether
the improvements directly caused increased traffic, if the Court
had relied on that information alone, which is not the case. The
Court found, based on testimony from residents and real estate
experts, that Rahn. Road changed after the improvement from a
quiet street to one on which traffic increased. Determination of
the date that it was designated' a"collector" street and the
exact width of the street are not significant to the Court's
decision. Again, the criteria for the assessment must be whether
the improvement benefitted the property, and the evidence
indicated it did not.
Finally, the method of assessment is not pertinent to the
Court's conclusion that there is no benefit to the homeowners
from the improvement. Any asssessment, regardless of its
formula, is invalid.

I+fEMORANDUli
The assessment of benefit to Appellants' properties as
indicated in the assessment roll was sufficien?ly countered by
Appellants to require the fact issue as to the reasonable value
of the property assessed before and after the improvement, and to
what extent the properties may have benefitted.
In considering the evidence of the before and after value,
greater weight was given to the testimony of the Appellants'
witnesses. Mr. Daniels formed his conclusions as to the market
value of the respective properties in the year the assessment
roll was adopted. His opinion as to the properties was further
supported by realtors active in the sale of residential homes in
the area, one of whom testified that the improvements of Rahn
Road changed the character of the neighborhood, and this change
impacted in•a- negative manner as to value of the Appellants'
properties. In addition, one or more of these realtors cited
actual sales listing experiences to further support thei=
testimony. , .
Mr. Metzen's opinion as to value is based upon his knowledge
9
. .. , ? •
as to the builder of the homes in the area, and the type of homes ?
the builder constructs.` He elected not to inspect the subject
homes. Additionally, the city offered no testimony in the before
and after value of the individual parcels. Its expert testimony
was based on a sale or sales that were not too remote in time but
were not within the affected time frame; that is, at or near the
improvement, or subject to the improvement. Mr. Metzen took into
consideration his knowledge, his experience, the type of homes
that the builder whom he was acquainted with constructs, and then
the sale or sales that he relied on as comparables'to the subject
properties in forming an opinion as to whether the assessment, as
adopted by the city, met the statutory requirements. One should
note that his opinion is that the assessment as adopted by the
city did not for the most part meet the statutory requirements.
As his testimony indicated, for most of the parceZs he formed an
opinion that if there was a benefit, it was less than the
assessment levied by the city. Both value witnesses considered
the rate of inflation and the flat real estate market in arriving
at their conclusions. It is this Court's view that the difterence between the
conclusions reached is that the city's value witness considered
the availability of the use of the improvement rather than the
increase in value. Additionally, it should be noted. that the
Appellants' value"witness submitted written appraisals for each
parcel in support of his opinion as to value in the before and
the after, whereas the city's value witness testified from his
10
? , • a .
v
knowledge of the area, the builder whom he was acquainted with,
k •
. and some comparables, and then he concluded that the properties
benef itted in the amount that he testif ied without regard to the
before and after value as to each: It should be noted that five
of the parcels have 75 foot frontage and the square footage for
each of the dwellings ranges from 912 square feet to 'a high of
1;232 square feet. This approach appears to treat each parcel
i
the same, regardless of size, whereas in addition to the
differences noted with the properties that have 75 foot frontage,
one need only review Finding No. 14 to see the further disparity.
Finally, the Court has determined the assessments must be
vacated for the reasons set forth herein. Therefore, it is not
necessary to determine whether the method employed by the City in
computing the assessment is statutorily proper.

13.AHN 9OA1) RECONSTRUCi7ON
After introduction by Mayor Fg;aa and City Administrator Hcdges, Diredor of. Public Works Tom
Colbert provided a brief overview ot the asseuments and the ncighbothood meeting 6eld on lune 11,1991. He
aa;d seventy propertics wich direct sccess oato Rahn Road received noticxs of assessmcat on this project.
Mayor Egan then opened the public hcaring to public wmmeat. Mr. Charles MacDoaald, of 4145 Rahn
Road, said he bad filed written objeciiod:t6:tbe assessments against his property. Mr. MacDonald said the value
of ltis bos,e had actually dropped because::ot the upgrade oE Rahn Road and the resultant heavy traff c. He sa;d
evidence of that is the Dakota County Assessor'a 6tGce loweriag the value of his bome by a S percent due to
Rahn Road. .... . ..
Mayor Egan asked Mr. Bill Pett?san?.ol'the ?Coub?ty?As?C?sor's ofTice to explain the S perctnt dedudion
Gom propert}, taxes because a number of 6omeowners had referenced it in eoanection with the Rahn Road
improvements. Mr. Peterson said a misunderstandiag exists among the bomeowers as to the meaning of the S
percent moditier. He said the modifier has been used since 1983 and was used for property along Rahn Road.
lt was done, however, for 1990 valuations and, therefore, preceeded rtconstruction of Rahn Road. The Dakota
County Assessor's office uses mass appraisa] and deaLs witb awrages and norms. He said they use a standard
site value and then look at each property and add or stabtr"ct:from this standard value considering a number of
[adors, including being located on a major.atreet::;`Hcls2?d the County Asse,ssor'a oftice uses modifiers quite
frequentl}' and is aot implying tbat the impr'clvcIDeiifs on 3tahn Road had any impad on their valualions.
Mr. Niark Weidenhaft, o[ 4345 Rahi+:?tiad, 3xid,.widening and improving Rahn Road had compounded
the negative ettect of the road oa their property. Ht sd?ed the State Attorncy General bas ruled that to
tx assessed (or improvements, the City has to prove beneCt to:t3ie property. He said his property could not be
worth more v%itb more Uaffic. .
Mr. Darrell Haines, oi 3990 Rahn Road, complained about the poliry used for assessments, the toss o(
6ome value and said additional properties on Bluestone, Carnelian, Jadc, Flint, dc. s6ould share in the costs.
Ms. Laurie Luconic, of 4137 Raho:R644iid sht'b'W:"o aa informal survey of otber aties and [ound
that many do not assess by [ront iootage:;:;$?e'alsoooimgl'mhod'6ecause the lac]c of double etriping on the road
has lcd motorists to belicve that passiag ?a :permiss?hi?:
? :•:•:• . . .
Mr. Gerard Bents, representingi?Ipuat Ca?v*afy Lutberan Cturch, objeded to the assessment against
the entire churcb property at the public:tsi?ittic,s':istt:: ?,.dattd out that this rate was the same ss that or
commercial propcrty. He said t6ey heve:mdae'(be*iehirr&:availalile to organizadons [or meetings Gee o[ charge
and have, as a result, generated additional vagic. He pointed out, bowever, that appraximatety 190 feet of the
frontage on Rahn Road belongs to the parsoaage and felt it sbould be assessed at a single-lamily rate. Mr. Bents
wis6od to note that the 544,000 asussment constitutes LS percent of the cburc6's annual budget. Diredor of
Public Works Coibort said the entire pval has .qae.legO, desciption and it was asse.scad at one rate based oa
the zon.ing. Mr. CoJbcrt said that the CoupcQ:had :Qt?asidet?d assrss?ents on a different case at the last City
Council meet.ing and had determinetl that a"'3.'sments Shoiild:bt;basod on zoning. Mr. Bents asted that the City
Council make an exapEiae. ..... . .
Councilmember Pawlenty then ?i?cussed the situation ???erred to by Mr. Cotbert. In that instance, if
the Ciry Coundl had assessed at a higher:iiikC;;pkpp?etfyowioeti;;oo?ild have dad'assessmont-bacYcd expectations'
for a hig6er and better tise of the propecty;:::?a'tfis?is'staflet{??tte it s higher zoning aod the property owner
is asking for assessments based on a bwer use. D'uecior of Public Works Colbert noted that if the property
Page 7/EAGAN C1TY COUNCIL MINLJTES

u assessed at a lower rate and is ultima(tty put to a higher use, the City would not have the opportunity, once
the asscssments arc levied, to reassest 94::hiitt::RB?te:
. . . . . .•: .. . . . . . . . . .•.•. .. . . . . .. . .
Mr. Terry Stover, o[ 3906 RahA :Rosd, objeded to the !«ss*r+ents kvied against Outlot A o[ the
Woodhaven Addieion. He said that oatloc:lioes nW have assess onto Rahn Road and, further, the developmeat
plan tor the property indicates that acce3s"must bt oBr Beau de Rue Drive. Mr. Stover said any possibility ot
access onto Rahn Road was a vertuat impossibiliry due to the new elevation of the road. He referred to the fact
that several properties along Rahn Road were aot assessed because they had no driveway assess onto Rahn Road
aod said he believed Ouelot A was the on}y one wiebout access beiag assessed. He said his Qroperty has alrcady
been assessed for improvements to Besu* Rue.
• Mr. Stover then pointed out he5.parceTs 1oa5:of value because of a permanent storm sewer easement
ganted to the City. While he had rectiv,o4 :S8,000 far;Ehe easement, 6e said an appraiser had estimated the loss
to his property at between S17,000 and 518,000. "
Ms. l.euie Knutson, of 2014 ShafE,Lenie; said:s6t k?s A;?aiage with access ofT Rahn Road but 6er bome
has its driveway access.on Shale Lane. Ms: Kifutson- pcrinhed Otit t6at two yeurs ago 6er 6ome was appraised at
S98,000 and now the County tax assessor 6ad iadicated the value as $91,000. Sbe asked wby her property values
had gone dowa.
Mr. Paul Notterman., at 4374 Rahn Road, said it only took. common sense to realize that values had gone
dowa with lhe widening and repairing of Rahn Road. .
Mayor Egan then askcd City Attooa?to explain the process for objecting to assessments.
Mayor Egan said the City Council,had:tto.choice:fiut to make this road improvement as Rahn Road in
its previous conditioa was ao longer functiona?:'?ii::Mld it:.u:one of Lhe fust reconstruction projects in the City
and the City Couocil has tried to adopt a cost formiila t?a?;thCy,believe equitable to all t6ose concerned.
McCrea moved, Wac6ter seconded a motion to close the public hearing, approve the 5na1 assessment
ro0 for Project 584 (Rahn Road Reconstroction) and suthoriu cettiticadon to Dakota County.
Councilmember Gustafson asked, in regard to asscssmeats based on pucels rather than front footage,
i[ Mount Calvary Lutheran Churcb could 6ave:Lbe,issue of,sin,?le family and public facilities [rontage tesolved
by the City or whether the court would hare'tb:malce:l.}ot; aeiGtm?ation. Dirwor ot Public Worics Colbert said
an assessment hearing judge would nat i;v aluate ttie.itieihod used to urive at the asstssmcnts, 6owever, suc6
met6od would be the prerogative of the Gity Coundl: >S'tatute does require that the City Ueat all like propertics

Recogniring tbat t6ere was a motioaaada aecondbefore the City Coundl, Mayor Fgan uked City
Attorney Sheldon whether the City Council could iacorporate some discretioaary policy in regard to the Mount
Calvary Lutheran C6urc6 property. Mr. Sheldon said the Cty Covnul coo]d oomplete the motion and send it

MEMORANDUM
Tom Colbert, Director of Public Works
Annette M. Margarit
November 4, 1991
RE: Rahn Road Assessment Appeal &pSao SFy
Enclosed please find Judge Mansur's Order and accompanying memorandum
denying our motion to sever the twelve assessment appeals for Rahn
Road that are combined into one action. The Judge seemed to basically
buy the argument that because the parties are raising the same issue,
namely, that increased traffic has diminished the value of their
properties, the combination is appropriate.
The trial is currently scheduled for November 15, 1991. I understand
that you will be on vacation on that date. Rather than continuing
this trial because there are so many appeals that have been set for
December and into January, I would prefer to have Mike Foertsch
testify or get someone from Bonestroo to be available for this trial.
I will contact Mike to see if he is available on that date.

MEMORANDUM
The property is unique and, as such, the
versus costs of improvements must be determined
exclusive of the other. Here the Petition,
residents on Rahn Road in the city of Eagan
together in appealing the assessments that have
By DEPUN ?
issue of benefits
for each property
ars apparently are
and have joined
been certified by
the City against their subject properties for what the City
alleges to be improvements by the widening of Rahn Road.
The Petitioners contend that the improvements were initiated
by the City to serve the primary interests of the Target store
and Cub Foods store and to provide for better access to these
locations. Further, the Petitianers allege that their subject
property has diminished in value by reason of the widening of the
road, the increased,traffic to the business entities referred to
herein.
There being a common theme that forms;the basis of the
.? .
appeal from the assessments, it is this Court's view that the
severance would not serve the interest of all parties, including
the City, but rather, would a11ow for an expeditious disposition
of the Petitioners' appeals and if either party is aggrieved by
the Court's decision, allow for the appellate process to go
forward without further delay. To grant the City's motion could
involve different judges for different groperty awners and could
possibly entail different results. This would cause confusion
for all and would not serve the best interest of all parties,
including the City.

Tom Colbert, Director of Public Works
Annette M. Margarit
DATE: October 30, 1991
RE: Motion to Sever Rahn Road Appeals
On October 28, 1991 I appeared before the Honorable Judge Martin
Mansur to argue the City's motion to sever the twelve assessment
appeals currently filed as one action. The appellants' attorney
Howard Groves also appeared. Enclosed please find a copy of the
papers Mr. Groves had filed for the purposes of this motion.
Judge Mansurs' opening comments indicated his train of thought as he
told Mr. Groves that all parcels were unique, and inquired as to why
Mr. Groves believed the assessment appeals should be joined. Mr.
Groves argued that the properties are very similar in location and
basically are arguing the same issue that the project has not
benefitted them at all but in fact has been a detriment to their
property. Through some of his other questions, it seemed apparent tfie
Judge was not totally supportive of Mr. Groves' position.
The Court asked for the City's position and I reitera.ted the Judge's
own comments namely that each pareel is unique and by the very nature
of the special assessment, the City may not levy an assessment
greater than the benefit to that particular parcel. I pointed out to
the Court that the parcels were not all assessed the same amount
indicating that they differed in some respect. I also argued that, in
the event the Court did not agree that the properties had been
benefitted to the amount of the assessment, the Court would need to
be able to arrive at some equitable means of determining a reduction
in the assessment. Without knowledge of the individual
characteristics of the properties, the Court would have to resort to
a blanket type of reduction which would be unfair to the City and
likely also the landowners.
The Court noted that appellants paid only one filing fee. The Judge
stated that he would take the matter under advisement and issue an
order.
