BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council do hereby proclaim Tuesday, August 1, 2000 as "National Night Out" in the City of Eagan. Motion made by: Seconded by: Those in favor: Those against: Dated: CITY OF EAGAN CITY COUNCIL By: Its Mayor Attest: CERTIFICATION Its Deputy Clerk I, Maria Karels, Deputy Clerk of the City of Eagan, Dakota County, Minnesota, do hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was duly passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Eagan, Dakota County, Minnesota, in a regular meeting thereof assembled this 18th day of August, 2000. 7 Maria Karels, Deputy Clerk Agenda Information Memo July 18, 2000 Eagan City Council Meeting E. ACCEPT RESIGNATION, APRC ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Accept resignation of Kevin Gutknecht from the Advisory Parks Commission. FACTS: • Mr. Gutknecht informed the Advisory Parks Commission that he is resigning from the Commission due to personal time constraints. Mr. Gutknecht's term was due to expire January, 2002. • Since the APrC will not meet again until August, Floyd Hiar, who is currently the alternate on the commission, would be able to serve in the vacant position created by Mr. Gutknecht through the remainder of 2000. /0 Agenda Information Memo July 18 , 2000 Eagan City Council Meeting F. CONTRACT 00-01 CLIFF ROAD WATER TREATMENT FACILITY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Receive the bids for Contract 00-01 (Cliff Road & Coachman Rd. Water Treatment Facilities — Masonry Restoration), award the contract to Building Restorations Corp. for the total base bid amount of $648,866 and authorize the Mayor and Deputy Clerk to execute all related documents. FACTS: • This contract provides for the restoration of the premature deterioration of the masonry facade on the Cliff Road Water Treatment Facility (Base Bid #1). Through a negotiated settlement of litigation, the City received $507,000 to apply towards this contract for Cliff Rd. This contract also provides for the scheduled and required maintenance of the masonry facade on the Coachman Rd. Water Treatment Facility (Base Bid #2). The Coachman WTF will be funded through the Water Utility's Renewal and Replacement (R&R) fund. • On June 5, 2000, the City Council approved the detailed plans and specs and authorized the advertisement for solicitation of competitive bids for Contract 00-01. At 10:30 a.m. on July 13, formal bids were received for this project. • All bids will be reviewed for compliance with the bid specifications and accuracy on unit price extensions and summations. Based on the bids received, Building Restoration Corp. is the apparent low bidder for the total base bid in the amount of $648,866. ISSUES: • Due to the uniqueness of this type of restoration and the City's limited budget for this project, several alternates to the overall base bid for the Cliff Rd WTF were included in the formal bid proposal. These are identified as follows: 1. Alt. #1. Remove and replace "soldier course" designed brick band. 2. Alt. #2. Remove concrete accent band and replace with "running bond" brick. 3. Alt. #3. Expose, prepare and repaint lintels and columns in filter room. 4. Alt. #4. Reconstruct exterior wall base flashing and weep holes. Due to the higher than expected bids received, the staff is recommending that none of the alternates be accepted and that the Contract be awarded on the basis of the total base bid (#1 + #2) only. Further evaluation will be performed to determine if certain change order modifications and/or deletions can be processed at a later date to try to more closely match the settlement budget amount.

PROJECT 793, MVTA — EAGAN TRANSIT STATION SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To receive the feasibility report, approve Project 793 (MVTA, Eagan Transit Station—Sanitary Sewer Improvements), authorize the preparation of final plans and specifications for Contract 00-12 and authorize the advertisement for a bid opening to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, August 31, 2000. FACTS: • On June 5, 2000, the City Council accepted a petition from Beverly Miller and Cathy Busho, representatives of the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA), requesting the installation of sanitary sewer improvements for the MVTA Transit Station at the southeast corner of Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road. Subsequently, the City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility report for Project 793. • The extension of the sanitary sewer will provide public sewer for the MVTA Eagan Transit Station and the proposed on-site commercial development. • The MVTA has agreed to waive its right to the Public Hearing process and any objections to the assessment, which will be levied solely against the MVTA property. Due to the Minnesota .Valley Transit Authority being the only affected and assessed property owner for Project 793, a Public Hearing is not required by State Statute. • A feasibility report has been completed and is being presented to the City Council for their information and for their consideration of approving the public improvement process that will allow the City to finance the improvements through Special Assessments. • Based on the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority's improvement schedule, it would be appropriate for the City Council to authorize the preparation of plans and specifications by City staff for the construction of the sanitary sewer improvements and also authorize the advertisement for a competitive bid solicitation. ATTACHMENTS: • Feasibility Report, attached without page numbers. /3 Agenda Information Memo July 18, 2000 H. CINNAMON RIDGE 2ND ADDITION (LOT 13, BLOCK 1) EASEMENT VACATION ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To receive the petition to vacate public drainage and utility easements and schedule a public hearing to be held on August 15, 2000. FACTS: • On June 14, 2000, City staff received a letter from Paul Plitzuweit, resident at 4537 Cinnamon Ridge Trail, requesting the vacation of a portion of the existing drainage and utility easements on Lot 13, Block 1, Cinnamon Ridge 2nd Addition, southwest of the intersection of Cinnamon Ridge Trail and Slater Road. • The easement was originally dedicated to the City as part of the Cinnamon Ridge 2nd Addition for drainage and utility purposes. The easement accommodates existing site drainage. • The purpose of the request is to allow Mr. Plitzuweit to construct a new deck at the rear of his house on Lot 13. The configuration of the proposed deck would encroach upon some of the existing drainage and utility easement. • The request would vacate only the portion of the existing easement needed for the proposed deck. The remainder of the easement is necessary for overland drainage from the adjacent properties. • Notices will be published in the legal papers and sent to all potentially affected and/or interested utilities for comment prior to the scheduled public hearing.

PROJECT 680, CLIFF ROAD UPGRADE ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Amend the Feasibility Report, Preliminary Assessment Roll and approve the Cost Participation Agreement with Dakota County for City Project 680 and authorize the Mayor and Deputy clerk to execute all related agreements. FACTS: • On February 15, 2000, the City Council held a public hearing and subsequently approved Project 680 providing for the upgrade of Cliff Road (County Road 32) from Pilot Knob Road to Lexington Ave from its current 2 -lane rural design to a 4 -lane divided urban roadway. • As part of this public improvement, the City had identified potential assessable properties benefiting from this improvement. The Dakota County Lebanon Hills Regional Park (LHRP) was identified as one of those benefiting properties. According to the City's assessment policies, the LHRP was proposed to be assessed $206,700 for benefits from street, storm sewer, water lateral and water services for approximately 1750 feet of Park frontage. This assessment obligation is based on multiple/high density assessment classification rates. • In order to accomplish this project, additional right-of-way has to be acquired from numerous properties including 3.2 acres of LHRP. The City of Eagan's 45% share of the $175,000 County land acquisition cost would be $78,750. ISSUES: • Originally, the County stated that they could not be obligated by any local assessments. After several negotiating sessions, the County is now willing to dedicate the necessary easements and rights of way at no cost in consideration of the City assessing the LHRP at the City's low density residential/agricultural rates. This will result in an assessment obligation of approximately $69,500. • State Statutes specifically exempt Regional Park land from any local assessments unless agreed to by both agencies. City staff has not processed the County Highway cost participation agreement for approval until this issue could be resolved. If this latest offer from the County is accepted by the City Council and the feasibility report amended accordingly, it would then be appropriate for the Council to also approve the cost participation agreement so that the project can proceed as planned. /7 Agenda Information Memo July 18, 2000 Eagan City Council Meeting J.

DEVELOPMENT VISION WISPARK's vision for this area is consistent with the City's land use guide; namely a "Master Planned Business Park" which will compliment the neighborhood's other business parks (The Waters and Eagandale Industrial Park). This area serves as the gateway to Eagan and is strategically located between four key arterial highways: I -35E, I-494, State Highway 149, and State Highway 55. The property contains a 20 -acre lake at its center, which will serve as the focal point for the business park. WISPARK has constructed a 1 -mile walkway around the lake for the enjoyment of the business park's tenants and their employees. The business park will contain a mix of office, office/service, and office/warehouse buildings. We have enclosed herein WISPARK's development plan for the land it currently owns as well as for the land it is actively seeking to acquire. F A IIBiT C-2 c,381 D M. EXIIIBITcl '111!!!!!! lag m® !#■■|! «! 30EXHIBIT c-4 u PLANS FOR CITY OWNED PROPERTY PLANS FOR CITY OWNED PROPERTY We are requesting that the City sell their five lots to WISPARK at their appraised value (to be determined by a third party appraiser acceptable to the City). WISPARK intends to integrate the land into its overall park design and marketing program. WISPARK has currently listed the business park with CB Richard Ellis and Equity Commercial Services, Inc. CB, Equity, and WISPARK have developed a comprehensive marketing program, which includes the following elements: • Project signage • Collateral material • Direct mail program • Project advertising In addition, WISPARK is directly calling on businesses currently located in this area of the Twin Cities Metropolitan market to generate business activity for Grand Oak Business Park. WISPARK plans to develop all of the land within the park over the next 2-3 years. We would encourage the City to require any purchaser of its land to develop the land within a specified period of time (1-2 nears) as well as requiring the development plans for the property to be incorporated into the overall master plan for the quadrant so that the area represents a first class business environment (i.e. continue the walking trail around the lake as an amenity for the business park's tenants, coordinating ingress/egress, landscaping, etc.). WISPARK will construct an approximately 40,000 SF single -story office/service center building which will be very similar to the 43,000 single -story office/service center building which is currently under construction for Quorum/Lanier within the Grand Oak Business Park. We have attached a site plan and rendering for this proposed building.

QUALIFICATION To qualify as a minor subdivision, City Code Section 13.10 Subd. 1 states that the following conditions must be satisfied: A. The application shall involve the division of one (1) platted lot into not more than two (2) lots, both of which meet all minimum dimensional requirements of the Zoning Code. B. The proposed lots shall have access to an improved street(s) and shall connect to municipal sewer and water facilities. C. The subdivision shall meet all dedication and other requirements of the City Code. Planning Report — Verdant Hills 2nd Addition July 18, 2000 Page 2 D. The lot shall not previously have been subject to minor subdivision. The proposed lot division satisfies the preceding qualification criteria. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The Verdant Hills subdivision was approved in August of 1997 and consists of 12 lots. Lot 1 of the existing subdivision (the subject site) is occupied by the applicant's residence and was configured to allow it to be subdivided in the future. EXISTING CONDITIONS Aside from the single family dwelling, three detached accessory buildings (two sheds and a garage) also exist on the property. All structures exist on the eastern half of the subject property. The lot is considered "oversized" being more than twice the size of most lots within the Verdant Hills subdivision. The property is provided street frontage along Woodland Court. SURROUNDING USES The site is surrounded on all sides by single family residential uses that are zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and designated D -I, Single Family Residential (0-3 units/acre). EVALUATION OF REQUEST Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The proposed lots are similar in size to those that presently exist in the area. The proposed subdivision (and resulting new single family residence) is not expected to negatively impact surrounding properties. Lots - Both proposed lots have been found to comply with minimum R-1 district lot size requirements. Setbacks - The proposed subdivision will not result in the creation of any non -conforming setbacks (including accessory building setbacks. Density - A density of 1.7 units/acre has been proposed which is consistent with the density requirements of the Comprehensive Guide Plan. 90 Planning Report — Verdant Hills 2nd Addition July 18, 2000 Page 3 Airport Noise - The subject site lies within Airport Noise Zone W. Within this area, infill single family development is conditional. To approve development in the area, the City needs to make acceptable findings concerning the following: 1. Specific nature of the proposed use, including the extent of outdoor activities. 2. Relationship of the proposed use to other planning considerations, including adjacent land use activities, consistency with overall comprehensive planning and relation to other metropolitan systems. 3. Frequency of exposure of proposed uses to aircraft overflight. 4. Location of proposed use relative to aircraft flight tracks and aircraft on -ground operating and maintenance areas. 5. Location, site design and construction restrictions to be imposed by the community of the proposed use with respect to reduction of exterior to interior noise transmissions and shielding of outdoor activities. 6. Method community will use to inform future occupant of proposed building of potential noise from aircraft operations. 7. Extent to which community restricts the building from having facilities for outdoor activities associated with the use. 8. Distance of proposed use from existing or proposed runways, parallel taxiways or engine run- up areas. With respect to the factual aspects of the findings, the property lies approximately four miles southeast of the primary runways at the airport and five miles from the engine maintenance and run-up area. Utilities - The existing house on Lot 1, Block 1 is currently served by well and sanitary septic systems. The existing house should be connected to the City sanitary sewer and water main systems prior to building permit issuance for Lot 2. All well and septic systems within the subdivision should be abandoned in accordance with City and Dakota County standards prior to building permit issuance for Lot 2. Parks - Proposed Lot 2 will be subject to a cash parks dedication of $1,272 and a cash trails dedication of $168 to be collected as a condition of minor subdivision approval. Tree Preservation - Tree preservation issues will be addressed as part of building permit issuance. Water Quality/Wetlands - Proposed Lot 2 shall be subject to a cash water quality dedication of $2,091. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed subdivision is considered compatible with existing and anticipated uses in the area. 271 / Planning Report — Verdant Hills 2nd Addition July 18, 2000 Page 4 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To approve a Minor Subdivision entitled Verdant Hills 2nd Addition located south of Woodland Court and east of Wescott Woodlands in the NE '/4 of Section 14.

The subdivision shall meet all dedication and other requirements of the City Code. D. The lot shall not previously have been subject to minor subdivision. The proposed lot division satisfies the preceding qualification criteria. BACKGROUND/HISTORY Gardenwood Ponds 2nd Addition was approved in October of 1996 and consists of 126 lots. Lot 1 of the existing subdivision (the subject site) is provided street frontage on both Hyland Court and Stony Point Road. The lot is occupied a single family residence (the property owner's) and was located to allow it to be subdivided in the future. EXISTING CONDITIONS The subject 28,989 square feet in size lot is considered "oversized" being more than twice the size of most lots within the subject subdivision. The property is bisected by a 75 foot wide NSP and Dakota Electric easement. The property is provided street frontage along both Hyland Court (on the east) and Stony Point Road (on the west). SURROUNDING USES The site is surrounded on all sides by single family residential uses that are zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and designated D -I, Single Family Residential (0-3 units/acre). EVALUATION OF REQUEST Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The proposed lots are similar in size to those that presently exist in the area. The proposed subdivision (and resulting new single family residence) is not expected to negatively impact surrounding properties. Lots - While both proposed lots have been found to comply with minimum R-1 district lot size requirements, some concern exists in regard to the buildable area of Lot 2. Because a significant portion of the lot is overlaid by a utility easement, the resulting building envelope (2,168 square feet) is oddly shaped. To ensure that proposed building pad of Lot 2 is suitable for new home construction, an example house plan should be submitted which demonstrates its buildability. z-/ Planning Report — Gardenwood Ponds 5th Addition July 18, 2000 Page 3 Setbacks - The proposed subdivision will not result in the creation of any non -conforming setbacks. Density - A density of 3.0 units/acre has been proposed which is consistent with the density requirements of the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Airport Noise - The subject site lies outside the airport's noise exposure zones. Engineering Issues - All engineering related issues with this development have been addressed. Parks - Proposed Lot 2 will be subject to a cash parks dedication of $1,272 and a cash trails dedication of $168 to be collected as a condition of minor subdivision approval. Tree Preservation - Tree preservation issues will be addressed as part of building permit issuance.

Subdivision is unfair to neighbors, such as us, who purchased homes relying on existing maps. In our opinion, subdivision of this lot may also lower values of neighboring homes and diminish the safety of children who ride bikes, skate on boards, and play in the cul-de-sac. we live at 972 Stony Point Rd - just across the street from the proposed subdivision.. We purchased our home a year ago. On our first visit to the house, we noticed and liked the uncrowded cul-de- sac. At that time, our real estate agent showed us a map which indicated that the property across the street from our prospective home was part of a large lot with a house on its east side. These factors entered into our decision to buy the house at 972 and they affected the amount we were willing to pay for it. So why should the owner of the large lot be granted a subdivision of it now? The owner either knew or should have known about the lot's size when he purchased it. If the subdivision is granted, he may get a windfall by selling the new lot, but what will neighboring homeowners get? How for example, will a new house be positioned on this irregular- shaped lot, especially in view of the powerline easement? will it be situated in such a way as to fit in with the rest of the neighborhood?

A large portion of the site contains a pond, and there is a storm sewer located -just south of the existing residence. • On June 20, 2000, the City Council received the petition for the vacation, and set a public hearing for July 18, 2000 to consider vacating said drainage and utility easements. The public hearing for the proposed minor subdivision was scheduled concurrently for July 18, 2000. • The purpose of the proposed vacation is to delete a portion of the existing drainage easement for the pond to allow the subdivision of the property and construction of an additional house on the southwest comer of the site. • The easements to be vacated were originally dedicated as part of the Blackhawk Glen 2nd Addition development for drainage and utility purposes. The easements accommodate existing storm sewer lines and a drainage pond. • Drainage and utility easements necessary to accommodate any planned or existing utilities, ponding or drainage ways will be dedicated as part of the new plat. • The site is surrounded by single-family residential uses that are zoned R-1 and guided D -I. • The proposed minor subdivision satisfies the requirements for the R-1 zoning district. There is some concern about the depth of the buildable area of Lot 2, between the required setback from Birchpond Road and the required drainage easement for the pond. S,4 • A walkout house is proposed for Lot 2, and the site plan shows a reasonable building configuration that satisfies required setbacks and does not encroach into required easement areas. • The grading plan shows that a majority of the side and rear yards of Lot 2 are proposed to be graded at the city's maximum slope of 3:1 for maintained areas and a retaining wall is proposed to achieve the 3:1 slope in a portion of the rear yard. • All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent to all potentially affected private utility owners informing them of this public hearing for the proposed vacation. . Notices have also been published and mailed to contiguous property owners informing them of the proposed minor subdivision. No objections to either the proposed vacation or minor subdivision have been received to date. • The vacation request has been reviewed by the Engineering Division and found to be in order for favorable Council action.

The property is currently platted as Lot 30, Block 3, Blackhawk Glen 2"d Addition Addition. QUALIFICATION To qualify as a minor subdivision, City Code Section 13.10 Subd. 1 states that the following conditions must be satisfied: A. The application shall involve the division of one (1) platted lot into not more than two (2) lots, both of which meet all minimum dimensional requirements of the Zoning Code. B. The proposed lots shall have access to an improved street(s) and shall connect to municipal sewer and water facilities. C. The subdivision shall meet all dedication and other requirements of the City Code. D. The lot shall not previously have been subject to minor subdivision. The proposed lot division satisfies the preceding qualification criteria. Planning Report — Blackhawk Glen 4th Addition July 18, 2000 Page 2 BACKGROUND/HISTORY Blackhawk Glen 2"a Addition was platted in July of 1987. This parcel was platted with a majority of the parcel covered by drainage and utility easement because of the pond over the northeast part of the lot. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site contains a single-family residence in the northwest corner, which was constructed in 1989. Access is provided from Birchpond Road. A large portion of the property contains a pond and there is a storm sewer located just south of the existing residence. The southern portion of the property contains significant elevation changes, dropping toward the pond, from west to east and south to north. The southwest corner of the property is also densely vegetated. SURROUNDING USES The site is surrounded on all sides by single family residential uses that are zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and designated D -I, Single Family Residential (0-3 units/acre). EVALUATION OF REQUEST Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The proposed subdivision (and resulting new single family residence) is not expected to negatively impact surrounding properties. Surrounding lots range from .8 to 3.4 acres and average 1.3 acres, including several lots that contain significant pond area. Lots — Both proposed lots satisfy minimum R-1 district lot size requirements (minimum lot area of 12,000 square feet and lot width of 85 feet). Proposed Lot 1 is 2.18 acres in size with 1.7 acres of ponding area, and proposed Lot 2 is 1.87 acres in size with 1.33 acres in ponding easement. The land area excluding pond easement for each lot is .48 acres for Lot 1, and .54 acres for Lot 2. Some concern exists with regard to the depth of the buildable area of proposed Lot 2 since the required drainage easement for the pond will extend to within about 10 feet of the proposed house. This would severely restrict, if not eliminate, the potential for future additions to the rear of the home (porch, deck, etc.). Further discussion of the grading and easement is included in the Engineering Issues below. Setbacks - The proposed subdivision will not result in the creation of any non -conforming setbacks. Density — The two dwellings on this 4.06 -acre site result in a density of .5 units/acre, which is consistent with the 0-3 units per acre density requirement of the Comprehensive Guide Plan. 6-� Planning Report — Blackhawk Glen 4th Addition July 18, 2000 Page 3 Airport Noise - The subject site lies outside the airport's noise exposure zones. Engineering Issues — The proposal includes a request to vacate drainage and utility easements in the southwest corner of the property, with new easements to be dedicated on the proposed Blackhawk Glen 4th Addition plat. The vacation of the easements is a separate but concurrent request and requires separate action by the Council. The existing drainage and utility easements dedicated with the plat of Blackhawk Glen 2nd Addition shall be properly vacated. The grading plan shows that fills of four to six feet will be necessary to accommodate the proposed house. A majority of the side and rear yards are shown to be graded at the City maximum slope of 3:1 for maintained areas. A retaining wall is proposed to achieve the 3:1 slope in a portion of the rear yard area. Additionally, the grading plan shows a drainage easement being provided to an elevation of 809. This pond is a landlocked basin with no overflow provided below the basement walkout elevation of the proposed house on Lot 2. The City's current minimum standard for drainage easement is three feet above the calculated 100 -year high water level of the adjacent pond (809). Therefore, drainage easement should be dedicated on the final plat to a minimum elevation of 812. Parks - Proposed Lot 2 will be subject to a cash parks dedication of $1,272 and a cash trails dedication of $168 to be collected as a condition of minor subdivision approval, prior to release of the plat for recording. Tree Preservation — Compliance with the tree preservation ordinance will be determined at the time of building permit issuance. Water Quality/Wetlands — This subdivision shall be subject to a cash water quality dedication of $1,673, which is based on the site area excluding ponding easements. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The proposed subdivision satisfies the minimum R-1 zoning standards and appears compatible with existing and anticipated uses in the area. Although the buildable area of Lot 2 is somewhat shallow, the grading plan does appear to meet minimum City standards and the site plans shows a reasonable house configuration that meets required minimum setbacks. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To approve a Minor Subdivision entitled Blackhawk Glen 4th Addition, located at 3640 Birchpond Road, south of Ashbury Road and east of Birchpond Road in the SW 1/4 of Section 16. If approved, the following conditions should apply: Planning Report — Blackhawk Glen 4th Addition July 18, 2000 Page 4 1. The developer shall comply with these standards conditions of plat approval as adopted by Council on February 3, 1993: Al, B1, B4, El, and H1 2. Existing drainage and utility easements previously dedicated with the plat of Blackhawk Glen 2nd Addition shall be properly vacated. 3. Drainage easement on Lot 2 shall be dedicated on the final plat to a minimum elevation of 812. 4. Proposed Lot 2 shall be subject to a cash park dedication of $1,272. 5. Proposed Lot 2 shall be subject to a cash trail dedication of $168. 6. This subdivision shall be subject to a cash water quality dedication of $1,673.

NEW BUSINESS A. CITY CODE AMENDMENT (RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORAGE) CITY OF EAGAN ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve an Amendment to chapter 10 of the City Code addressing recreational vehicle storage and direct the City Attorney to prepare an amendment suitable for publication. FACTS: > This effort was initiated by the City Council and reflects discussion and direction recommended by the APC as it relates to acceptable storage locations, use while in storage, licensing, number, maximum size allowances and ownership of recreational vehicles. > The vehicle storage amendment under consideration does not include unlicensed or inoperable vehicles that are considered junk and regulated as such. > Presently, the Eagan City Code has minimal standards that relate to recreational vehicular storage on private property. The standards that do exist are provided in chapter 10 (Public Protection, Crimes and Offenses) and apply to "mobile homes" and "recreational camping vehicles". The definition of "mobile home" and "recreational camping vehicle" includes travel trailers, pickup coaches, motor homes, and camping trailers. > According to the Code (section 10.52 Subd. 2), it is unlawful to park or store a mobile home or recreational vehicle in the setback area of any residentially zoned property for more than 72 hours. The provision defines "setback" as the area within 15 feet of an improved roadway. This provision is somewhat confusing in its intended application and does not address side or rear yard setback requirements. > The Code presently does not include any specific provisions which regulate the size, quantity or location of outdoor recreational vehicle storage. ?oo D The following is a summary of recreational vehicle storage requirements included in the attached draft amendment. ITEM REQUIREMENT(S)* Quantity Maximum of three vehicles on a single family lot. Of those vehicles stored, no more than one may be a Class II vehicle (greater than 20 feet in length). Location In side and rear yards, not less than five feet from a lot line. No more than two Class I vehicles (20 feet or less in length) or one Class II vehicle may be parked on a driveway (or other hard surface equivalent) located within a front yard. No recreational vehicle may be parked within 15 feet of a roadway surface. Screening Not less than 50 percent of a recreational vehicle must be screened from abutting properties. Such screening must be provided along the entire length of the vehicle. *See attached amendment for details > At their regular meeting on June 27, 2000, the Advisory Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Amendment and recommended approval. ISSUES: At the public hearing, question was raised by both the APC and residents as to the acceptability of "grandfathering" existing vehicle storage conditions made nonconforming by the adoption of the amendment. The attached correspondence from the City Attorney addresses this matter. ATTACHMENTS (3) Minutes of the June 27, 2000 APC meeti , page 72 - 9 V Draft City Code Amendment, pages ?5 throughr City Attorney correspondence, page 99•-rQ . 7/ Advisory Planning Commission June 27, 2000 Page 2 OLD BUSINESS ORDINANCE AMENDMENT — CITY OF EAGAN DRAFT Planner Kirmis reviewed a proposed Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 10 entitled "Public Protection, Crimes and Offenses" and Chapter 11 entitled "Land Use Regulations (Zoning)" of the Eagan City Code establishing recreational vehicle storage regulations. He summarized various changes suggested by the Advisory Planning Commission at their May 11, 2000 workshop and addressed a list of questions that had been submitted by residents prior to the meeting. Chair Heyl stated that the Commission had taken into consideration the comments by the public during the public hearing, which was opened on April 13, 2000 and has attempted to find a solution to identify major violators of the ordinance. Chair Heyl re -opened the public hearing. There were 23 residents who spoke. Their comments and questions included: > Reason ordinance amendment was initiated > Timeframe for compliance with new ordinance regulations if adopted by City Council > Number and nature of complaints received by City > Screening of stored vehicles > Surfacing of storage area for vehicles (grass, bituminous, or class 5 gravel surface) > Consent of adjacent property owners for storage of vehicle in sideyard or backyard without screening > Definition in ordinance of "vehicle" > Required setbacks from public streets and adjacent properties > Possibility of a vote being taken by citizens to amend the ordinance > Possibility of City staff logging complaints for a year to determine the number and nature of concerns > Enforcement of ordinance (concern over enforcement being complaint -driven) > Concern over forcing residents out of the City of Eagan because of strict ordinance regulations > Possibility of grandfather clause for older properties that can not meet certain ordinance requirements There being no further public comment,.Chair Heyl closed the public hearing. Chair Heyl explained that numerous complaints had been received by the City in regard to the storage of recreational vehicles but that there hadbeen no specific log kept on the exact number or who made the complaint, if there was no violation. She also explained that the intent of the ordinance amendment would be to identify major violators. She stated that the Commission would consider which neighbors would need to consent to the storage of the recreational vehicle (i.e. abutting, and possibly across the street). She explained the reasoning for the 15 -foot setback from the street requirement as a safety issue regarding vehicle sightlines. Chair Heyl read the definition of "vehicle" from the ordinance. Advisory Planning Commission June 27, 2000 Page 3 DRAFT The Commission agreed to include class 5 gravel as an acceptable hard surface for storage of vehicle. Discussion occurred regarding enforcement of the ordinance. Chair Heyl stated that neighbors must be taken into consideration in relation to where a vehicle is stored due to situations such as obstruction of view, etc. and that receiving complaints may be the only means the City has to determine if there is a problem. The Commission agreed that there should be no additional wording added to the ordinance regarding complaint -based enforcement. The Commission discussed the possibility of including a grandfather clause to the proposed ordinance amendment. Member Anderson stated he felt that in certain situations the grandfather clause should be used. Chair Heyl suggested the grandfather clause be allowed in situations where physical changes and capital investments had been made to the property to accommodate the storage of recreational vehicles. Member Huusko agreed. City Attorney Bauer stated he would not recommend a grandfather clause be included due to the difficulty in verification of qualifying properties. Member Segal stated he felt the five-foot setback requirement from neighboring properties should be enforced. He further stated that it might be necessary for residents who could not meet the setback requirement to find off site storage for their recreational vehicles. He suggested the possibility of allowing seasonal storage on the property. He also stated he was in favor of waiving the screening requirement with consent of the abutting neighbors. Member Tilley stated she felt complaints on recreational vehicle storage violations should be logged. Member Anderson questioned the necessity of the seven day per month parking restriction. Chair Heyl stated she felt this provision was important to protect the neighbors against vehicles being parked for extended periods. Member Segal moved, Member Nosbush seconded a motion to recommend approval of an Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 10 entitled "Public Protection, Crimes and Offenses" and Chapter 11 Entitled "Land Use Regulations (Zoning)" of the Eagan City code establishing recreational vehicle storage regulations. , Member Segal added a friendly amendment to the motion to include under 6 C. 2. the following wording: Recreational vehicles parked or stored outdoors shall be parked or stored on prepared hard surface areas, including class 5 gravel, meeting the minimum setback requirements for parking lots. Member Nosbush agreed with the friendly amendment to the motion. 'J3 Advisory Planning Commission June 27, 2000 Page 4 DRAFT Member Huusko added a friendly amendment to the motion to amend 5 (a) to read as follows: At least fifty (50) percent of a recreational vehicle stored within an interior side yard or rear yard shall be screened from view of contiguous properties. (deleting "or public streets"). Visual screening shall be in the form of fencing or plantings and shall be provided along the entire length of the vehicle. This provision may be waived by the City with written consent of the property owner(s) of the property abutting the recreational vehicle storage location. Member Nosbush was in agreement with the friendly amendment. All voted in favor. Member Huusko moved, Member Tilley seconded a motion to direct City staff to review the feasibility of a non -conforming provision or grandfather clause for capital improvements to the property to accommodate the storage of a recreational vehicle. All voted in favor.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mikc Ridley, Senior Planner FROM: Mike Dougherty, City Attorney DATE: July 13, 2000 RE: Proposed Vehicle Storage Code Amendment Following the discussion by thc Advisory Planning Commission, our office was asked to review and render an opinion with respect to the proposed elements of screening and grandfather rights. Specifically, the first item in review is a provision which would allow the City to waive a screening requirement with the written consent of the property owner of the property contiguous to the recreational vehicle storage location. It is our opinion, that the provision establishes an arbitrary and capricious standard and renders enforcement impractical. A city ordinance is a standard which is uniformly applied under a certain set of facts. A determination of whether a violation of a ordinance has occurred is determined by an objective standard of what condition or activity exists in relation to the codified requirement. If the City were to allow the existence of a condition based upon a neighbor's approval, essentially it would have no standard. Enforcement would no longer be predicated upon the terms of thc ordinance hut would depend upon a case by case determination. Additional complications would arise to the extent that neighbors change or consents once given are sought to he revoked and does the City become an arbitrator of its ordinance rather than the enforcer of the ordinance. To avoid such situations, it is our opinion that the requirement for screening should not be lett to the discretion of individual property owners. The second item that our office was requested to review is whether a provision can be made in the ordinance to allow certain properties to be grandfathered with respect to storing their vehicle within the set back area. Generally to the issue of grandfather rights is connected to a continuation of an existing condition following an amendment to the City's code. What was once considered legally conforming use to an ordinance has now, due to a change in thc ordinance, been rendered nonconforming. In general, this issue relates directly to structures and use of property. The unique issue at hand, is that the grandfathering is being requested for an �9 612 432 3780 SENT BY: 7-14- 0 ; 13:49 ; SEVERSON SHELDON 651 681 4694;# 3/ 3 activity which is temporary in nature and for which the City has no prior records of when something came to exist. Unlike structures which require building perrnits, the desire of a homeowner to pave an extension or another area of their property does not require a building pennit. So essentially the City has no record of who or how many property owners currently have conditions which may be rendered nonconforming. Similar to thc screening issuc, thc enforcement niay be rendered arbitrary due to the lack of public records. If you have any questions, please give me a call. MGD/wkt Agenda Information Memo July 18, 2000 Eagan City Council Meeting B. CONSIDER ACQUISITION OF BERGIN PROPERTY AT 1240 DEERWOOD DRIVE FOR COMPLETION OF TRAIL LOOP, PATRICK EAGAN PARK ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Consider acquisition of land currently owned by Mr. Tom Bergin, located at 1240 Deerwood Drive for trail connection around Patrick Eagan Park; authorize staff to negotiate a land purchase. FACTS: • Mr. Bergin contacted staff about potential acquisition and is willing to sell land to the City of Eagan. • The Advisory Parks Commission previously identified this parcel for possible acquisition as part of the open space study and the CIP process completed in 1999. • The parcel would allow the completion of a trail loop around the pond in Patrick Eagan Park. The pond currently extends into the Bergin property. • Acquisition of a minimum one-half acre would suffice for completion of the trail, but acquisition of the five -acre parcel would allow the City more flexibility in parks development as well as open space and tree preservation. • $750,000 has been dedicated for park acquisition during the 2001-2005 CIP cycle. Currently, the only parcel purchased from these funds is property at Blackhawk Park at a cost of $50,000. • Acquisition of a larger parcel would man a larger investment from City, but may make a transaction more attractive to the property owner and possibly result in a reduced cost per square foot than a smaller acquisition. • The Advisory Parks Commission will review this issue and make their recommendation Monday, July 17, 2000.

Faq Bergin Property Approximate size and location of a one -acre and two -acre parcel. .; 2 are - north property line 1 acre -north property line $3 w Q w Q Mr. Tom Bergin Dear Mr. Bergin You had called several weeks ago and since then we have had discussion regarding the departments interest in acquiring the back portion of your property for inclusion into Patrick Eagan park. Several options were explored, including your development of your five -acre home either independently or in conjunction with your neighbor. At present your plans are to sell the house and land as one, but that you would be willing to listen to an offer from the city for a portion of the land as it abuts Patrick Eagan Park. Although this portion of your property was one of several properties previously identified for inclusion into the park system, you need to know that the Advisory Park Commission or City Council has authorized me to negotiate any transaction. However, as part of my responsibility to the City, I do feel that I can put forth the following for Commission consideration at their July 17th Commission meeting for recommendation to the City Council I would propose that the department acquire the southerly most two acres of the property for a sum of $58,500. I would also propose that the city would undertake the responsibility for taking the lead role on doing a minor subdivision, creating one lot (consisting of three acres with your home) and an outlot. (Two -acre park parcel). Tom, I believe this represents good value to you while still maximizing the value in the remainder of your home site. Besides the remuneration, I believe you will also be rewarded in the knowledge that the property will remain in good stewardship as part of Patrick Eagan Park. Please give this issue your most serious consideration and let me know your thoughts.
