KV/Ik L4/CIP.MMO a¢ Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994 City Council Meeting INFORMATION SUPER HIGHWAY RESOLUTION J. Resolution, Regarding Information Super Highway Legislation—At its meeting of April 14, 1993, the Joint Cable Commission recommended that this item be continued to the May 18, 1994 City Council meeting. A memo from Cable Coordinator Reardon in this regard is enclosed on page 2(p . Also enclosed on page ?�througl f is a memo from Cable Coordinator Reardon giving background on this item and on pages through, ( is a copy of the resolution. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To continue this item to the May 18, 1994 City Council meeting. of MEMO TO: ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HOHENSTEIN FROM: CABLE COORDINATOR REARDON DATE: APRIL 15, 1994 SUBJECT: CABLE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION REGARDING INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY RESOLUTION After lengthy discussion by the Cable Commission, Legal Counsel and staff, it was the decision of the Commission to refer the Resolution to the Commission's Citizen/Company Relations Committee for further discussion, review and a recommendation to both Member Cities' Councils. The Commission further recommended that this item should be pulled from the April 19 Eagan City Council's Consent Agenda and continued until the City Council's second meeting in May, which would follow the Commission's May meeting. I will be present at the City Council's April 19 meeting should there be any questions in regard to the Commission's recommendations and action. 171/.1 Cab e MR/vmd te".L__/tL/ fdinator a( MEMO TO: ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HOHENSTEIN FROM: MIKE REARDON, CABLE COORDINATOR DATE: APRIL 12, 1994 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION REGARDING INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY LEGISLATION packcround At the Cable Commission's April 14 meeting, the Commission will consider staff's recommendation that each of the Member Cities adopt a resolution that: supports local government involvement in the formation of the Information Superhighway; just compensation for local public rights-of-way as a result of any such legislation; and the protection of public, educational and government access provisions in any such legislation. The main reasons the Commission is considering staff's recommendation at this time are: • It appears that the federal legislation both in the House and Senate is on a fast track for passage this spring concerning the Information Superhighway; • H.R.3636, the House version of the Highway legislation, was recently passed out of committee with several amended provisions that reduce, or completely eliminate, municipal involvement and the collection of fees from telecommuni- cations providers; • S.1822, the Senate version, although in its current form contains more favorable langauge in regard to local involvement in the Information Superhighway, may receive strong lobbying efforts by both telcos and the cable industry to add similar amendments to reduce or eliminate local involvement; • There have been several bills at the Minnesota Legislature this spring that pertain to the Information Superhighway, and have not included a local government role in them; and • All of this legislation could directly impact the City's role in Information Superhighway and therefore they need to review their current position in regard to this. Key Issues Concerning Local Government's Role The following includes some of the key issues that affect local government and/or their citizens, as a result of the proposed Information Superhighway legislation: • Loss of control over the use of local/municipal public rights-of-way and the subsequent impact on the rights -of way space limitations, residential inconvenience, safety and health; • Loss of just compensation for the use of the local rights- of-way; aY? • The elimination or reduction of public, educational and governmental (PEG) access provisions, availability and inclusion in the Information Superhighway activity; • The assurance of universal and affordable access to the Information Superhighway by all citizens, what constitutes universal access, who controls the on/off ramps and the "toll booths" on the Information Superhighway; • The privacy issues of citizens and government concerning data, information and other related issues and activities; • How will local governments be able to avail themselves of any Information Superhighway; and • Who regulates the Information Superhighway, i.e. federal, state and/or local. Discussion Both the Cable Commission and its Member Cities have in the past endorsed and supported the development of competition in the delivery of video services to its Cities and citizens. The attached resolution encourages the continuation of such development, but includes the additional concepts that along with the competitive delivery of video services, there must be just compensation for the use of local public rights-of-way and the protection and continued provision of PEG access services. By adopting the resolution, the City would be both promoting the future development of the Information Superhighway and at the same time, asking that local government be involved in the process. There appears to be both, at a federal and state level, and at the telecommunications industrial level, the push to remove local government out of any involvement in Information Superhighway legislation and therefore the subsequent construction and operation. As the City does not have control over the federal and state legislative timeframes, it would be prudent to take action at this time and to stay involved in the legislative discussion. This resolution would allow this to happen, and would establish the City's Information Superhighway position for any subsequent discussion that Mayor, Council or staff might have with legislators. pecommended lection The Burnsville/Eagan Cable Commission will consider at its April 14 meeting a recommendation regarding the resolution. Pending Commission action, a subsequent memorandum will be provided on Friday which will describe the recommended action taken by the Commission. ab1Coordinator Attachment c98 MR/vmd CITY OF EAGAN A RESOLUTION URGING THE CONGRESS AND THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA TO INCLUDE PROVISIONS REQUIRING LOCAL FRANCHISING IN ANY LEGISLATION RELATING TO THE ENTRY OF TELEPHONE COMPANIES INTO THE BUSINESS OF CABLE TELEVISION, THE ENTRY OF CABLE TELEVISION COMPANIES INTO THE LOCAL TELEPHONE MARKET, OR RELATING TO THE FORMATION OF FULL SERVICE NETWORKS WHEREAS, several Bills have been introduced in the 103rd Congress relating to telecommunications and to cable television including S.1086, S.1822, and H.R3636, which provides for entry into the business of cable television by telephone companies; and WHEREAS, in this session of the State of Minnesota Legislature, there have been Bills introduced including H.F.2408 which would authorize substantial changes in State regulation of new services to be offered by the telephone industry which do not include local involvement in the delivery of new Information Superhighway" services; and WHEREAS, H.R.3636 excludes local franchising and precludes local authorities from decision-making concerning the services permitted; and WHEREAS, efforts are being made to weaken the provision in S.1822 preserving local franchising; and WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Eagan, Minnesota fully subscribes to the following key points enumerated by the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors, regarding federal telecommunications legislation: • Telephone company provisions of video services will help consumers by generating competition; • Telephone companies in the video market should be subject to the same requirements as others, i.e. cable operators to comply with applicable regulatory framework; • Telephone companies using public rights-of-way for competitive video services should make a fair contribution to the community for use of its property for a commercial enterprise; • Municipalities ensure that franchising authorities are able to coordinate the use of its public rights-of-way and ensure the protection against the overbuild of space; • Municipalities support competition and are experienced in expeditiously awarding franchises, which is the only way to assure that a community's own particular needs are met; • National standards for Jocal needs like public, educational, and governmental access channels and institutional networks cannot adequately address the many differences among our nation's cities and counties; • Community involvement is necessary to prevent redlining and discrimination in neighborhoods and populations to be served; • If municipal governments are barred from participating in the process, the City's ability to initiate the local telecommunications infrastructure for educational and governmental needs will be harmed, undermining a community's chance to benefit from the National Information Infrastructure. • It would be unfair to existing cable franchises to place fewer community obligations on their video competitors which may then prompt cable operators to seek a reduction of their own franchise obligations; and WHEREAS, the Council believes that the best way to assure local accountability in the tailoring of customer service to meet local needs is through local franchising; and WHEREAS, over 80% of the City's cable subscribers have deemed that the local programming of public educational and governmental access is very/somewhat important to have on the local cable system; and WHEREAS, the Council understands the need for a balanced approach to the application of taxes, community obligations, and service obligations regarding the provision of cable television services and local telephone access, so that no single company or industry is put at a disadvantage in providing services to the residents of the City of Eagan; and WHEREAS, the Council believes the best way to assure that local companies and industries are not put at a competitive disadvantage in the provision of either cable television or telephone services is to preserve a meaningful role for local governments in decisions regarding the use of public right-of-way; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Eagan: Section One, that the Council respectfully urges the Congress of the United States, and the Legislature of the State of Minnesota, to preserve local authority by including provisions requiring local franchising in any legislation relating to the entry of telephone companies into the business of cable television, the entry of cable television companies into the local telephone market, or relating to the formation of full service networks. Section Two, that the Clerk of the City of Eagan shall attest and affix the seal of the City of Eagan to this resolution, and that copies herefore be transmitted to all members of the Minnesota Congressional Delegation, to the members of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation, and to the Minnesota State Legislature representatives of the City of Eagan, Minnesota.

These plans have now been completed and are being presented to the City Council for their consideration of authorizing a formal solicitation of competitive bids with a bid opening scheduled for Friday, May 13, 1994. The City Attorney's Office is coordinating the completion of the appraisal of representative sample properties and it is anticipated that this information will be available and presented to the City Council prior to or at the time of receipt of bids for consideration of contract award. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the plans and specifications for Contract 94-05 (Dodd Road - Street & Trail Improvements) and authorize the advertisement for a bid opening to be held at 2:00 p.m., on Friday, May 13, 1994. REVISE PENDING A$SMT RQLL (CEDAR GROVE ST REHABILITATION) M. Project 662, Revise Pending Assessment Roll (Cedar Grove Street Rehabilitation) -- When the project was approved as a result of the public hearing process, the City Council directed staff to prepare appraisals on representative sample properties within the project area to determine the estimated increase in market value and related financial benefit associated with this project. Two independent certified appraisers were retained through the City Attorney's Office to personally evaluate 10 representative properties each (total of 20 = 4%). As a result of this appraisal process, one appraiser indicated that the increased market value ranges from $1,500 to $2,000 per single-family residential lot, and the other appraiser indicated the appropriate value at $1,500 per lot. These figures are very consistent with the appraised values of the benefit to the residential properties within the previous Cedar Grove street reconstruction projects. Based on this information, the City staff is recommending that the City Council revise the pending assessment roll for Project 662 (Cedar Grove Street Rehabilitation) to reflect this maximum assessment on single-family residential properties. Enclosed on page(s) 3' - 3-7 : , is a notice that was sent to all property owners informing them of the result of this appraisal process and the scheduled Council consideration of awarding the contract on April 19. If the Council revises the pending assessment roll, it would also be appropriate to set the final assessment hearing for September 20, 1994, due to the fact that the final assessment amounts will not change from the revised pending assessment roll. If the Council feels that an earlier final assessment hearing date would be appropriate, the staff can accommodate this direction. Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994, City Council Meeting (Item M. Cont'd.) ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To acknowledge the completion of the property appraisal process and authorize the revision of the pending assessment roll for Project 662 (Cedar Grove 7, 8, 10, 11 and Ken Applebaum Addition - Street Rehabilitation) to reflect the maximum assessment for single-family residential properties at $1,500 per lot and schedule the final assessment hearing to be held on September 20, 1994. city of ecigcin April 14, 1994 Re: Contract 94-01, Project 662 Cedar Grove #7, #8, #10, #11 & Ken Applebaum Additions Street Reconstruction Dear Property Owner: THOMAS EGAN Mayor PATRICIA AWADA SHAWN HUNTER SANDRA A. MASIN THEODORE WACHTER Council Members THOMAS HEDGES City Administrator E. J. VAN OVERBEKE City Clerk On January 25, 1994, a formal public hearing was held to discuss the proposal to reconstruct the streets within the above -referenced subdivisions. As a result of that public hearing process, the City Council approved the project and authorized the preparation of detailed plans and specifications. They also directed staff to complete the appraisal process to determine the appropriate assessment obligation and to solicit competitive blds to determine firm construction costs associated with this project. Once this information had been tabulated, a letter would then be sent to all affected property owners informing them of the Council meeting when formal consideration would be given to awarding the contract for this work to begin. The following Information Is a result of this process. SCHEDULE At the City Council meeting beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 19, the City Council will formally receive the bids and consider awarding the contract to McNamara Contracting, Inc., the low bidder. Once the contract is awarded, It will take the contractor approximately two -three weeks to mobilize the work crews and begin work. After a preconstruction conference with the contractor, an informational flyer will be distributed informing residents of the schedule for your street along with names and telephone numbers of appropriate contact personnel. ASSESSMENTS/FINANCING Two Independent certified appraisers have performed a detailed analysis of 20 (4%) representative properties to determine the increased property value benefit resulting from this public improvement. After reviewing the results of these appraisals, the City Council determined that the maximum assessment would be equal to the lowest appraised Increase in property values. Subsequently, the assessments for street reconstruction in the Cedar Grove 7, 8, 10 & 11th Additions were reduced from the estimated $2,073 to $1,500 per single- family lot. This Is the same assessment rate that was levied for the'street reconstruction performed in 1993 to other areas of Cedar Grove. While the original feasibility report presented at the January 25 public hearing estimated that assessments would finance approximately 46% of the project costs with the City contributing 64%, based on the appraisers assessment limit as mentioned previously, special assessments now will finance 41% with the City's cnrttribution Increasing to 59% which equals approximately 5933,000 of the projected 51.58 million street reconstruction cost.

Also, It is anticipated that the City Council will then schedule the formal Final Assessment Hearing to levy and certify these final assessment amounts for September 20, 1994. NEIGHBORHOOD STREETLIGHTS Local neighborhood residential streetlight installation is an optional public improvement that can still be considered at a later date on a neighborhood basis In response to a petition by at least 35% of affected property owners. This petition Is necessary for the City to perform the research, studies and preliminary design necessary to estimate the cost of streetlights. This Installation cost would then be assessed as a separate improvement, if approved as a result of its own separate public hearing process. SUMMARY The City Council has taken significant efforts to ensure that the special assessments are fair and equitable while trying to manage the limited City funds available to finance the City's long-range capital improvement and maintenance programs. Your patience and understanding during this construction season will be most helpful to a successful project and greatly appreciated.

Mann Theatre Building Design Revision—This item was reviewed at the Special City Council meeting of April 12. At the Mayor's request, this item was placed on this agenda to allow consideration by the entire Council. Mann Theatres is requesting a revision of outside building materials in order to reduce costs of the project. They are proposing the use of split rock face con ete instead of precast panels as originally approved. Enclosed on pages through is a memo from Director of Community Development Reichert Pg ackground back ound on this item. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the change in construction materials from precast panels to split rock face concrete for the Mann Theatre project. g a MEMO city of eagan TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: PEGGY A. REICHERT, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: APRIL 14, 1994 SUBJECT: MANN THEATRE BUILDING MATERIALS INTRODUCTION At the City Council workshop on April 12, 1994, Mayor Egan directed that the request of the Mann Theatres to revise the building materials for their new project be placed on the Consent Agenda for approval by the City Council at its meeting of April 19. The purpose of this memorandum, therefore, is to comply with that directive. BACKGROUND Mann Theatres are proposing to build a new nine -screen movie theater in the Town Centre 100 Addition. This project was previously approved by the City Council in 1993. The Mann Theatre group has bid the project and discovered that the actual construction costs as originally designed and approved by the City Council will be $3,200,000 or $700,000 over their original budget estimate of $2,500,000. The Mann Theatre group has, therefore, been looking at ways to reduce the costs of the project. The cost escalation has been the result of several factors including: unforeseen soil correction work; higher construction costs than experienced in previous years; and site improvement requirements such as retaining walls and sidewalks associated with this particular site in Eagan. The Mann Theatre group has, therefore, requested a number of revisions to the original design as approved by the City Council. At its meeting of April 5, 1994, the City Council approved a series of modifications to the original design relating to landscaping, the configuration of the retaining wall and walkway around the park, and the installation of the sidewalk as a public improvement project to be assessed, as well as relocation of a drainage catch basin. The City Council did not approve a revision in the building materials from the precast panels originally approved. The Mann Theatre group subsequently discussed the building materials question with the City Council at its workshop of April 12. 43 At the workshop, the City Council appeared to be split 2/2 on whether to approve a revision of building materials to permit the use of an architecturally designed treatment of split rock face concrete. This material would be integrally colored and treated with a sealer to promote durability and prevent bleaching. Because of the split decision of the City Council, the Mayor directed that this proposal be put forth for a positive decision on the Consent Agenda at the April 19, 1994 meeting of the City Council. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS MATTER To approve the construction of the new Mann Theatre in the Town Centre 100 development with rock face concrete in a design as depicted in the architectural renderings submitted by the Architect, Bob Vanney, at the meeting of April 12, 1994.

YANKEE DOODLE ROAD - ST & STORM SEWER A. Project 638R, Yankee Doodle Road - Street & Storm Sewer --On March 15, 1994, a public hearing was scheduled to discuss the proposed storm sewer, street and trailway improvements for Yankee Doodle Road from Lexington Avenue through its intersection with TH 149. However, due to a discovered technicality in the public hearing notification process, the public hearing had to be rescheduled for April 19. Along with minor changes to the feasibility report, a revised report has now been prepared and is being forwarded to the Council on pages q (o through f"7.-- for their reference and review during the public hearing presentation. Representatives of the Dakota County Highway Department will be in attendance at the meeting to help present the details associated with this project. All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent to all affected property owners informing them of this public hearing. An informational neighborhood meeting was held at the Dakota County Library on December 16, 1993. There have been several additional meetings with various affected interested property owners to further review the impacts of this project.

The following items will be included in this project: a. Regrading, reconstruction, and partial realignment of CSAH 28. b. Construction of bituminous trails along Yankee Doodle Road on both the north and south sides. c. Construction of lateral and trunk storm sewers to convey storm water from the street surface and abutting areas. d. Reconstruction, adjustment, and extension of existing utilities. e. Installation of traffic signals at the T.H. 149 intersection and at the Soo Line Railroad crossing. f. Installation of street lights. The upgrading will provide a safer intersection with T.H. 149 and provide an improved east/west arterial for the City between two major roadways (Lexington Avenue and T.H. 149). FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATION The project is feasible from an engineering standpoint and is in accordance with the Master Utility and Street Plans for the City of Eagan and Dakota County. The project as outlined herein will be administered by Dakota County. The City of Eagan will be required to enter into a cost sharing agreement with Dakota County similar to past improvements. DISCUSSION Street: The primary street improvement will be the widening and reconstruction of Yankee Doodle Road within the project limits. Presently, the street 300' east of the Lexington Avenue intersection is a two lane rural road. Yankee Doodle Road from Lexington Avenue to 300' east of Lexington Avenue was upgraded as part of the reconstruction of Lexington Avenue. However, it is proposed to also reconstruct this section of Yankee Doodle Road to relocate the low point of the street further east of the Lexington Avenue intersection. 49528R/rpt 46 3 The specific improvements proposed for Yankee Doodle Road will involve the complete reconstruction including grading and storm sewer. The existing street section will be removed. The new street section will provide for new concrete curb and gutter. The design street width will be 86' which will provide for four driving lanes, shoulder safety lanes and an 18' wide center median. Right and left turn lanes to both north and south will be provided at the intersections with Golfview Drive, Wescott Hills Drive, Mike Collins Drive, Elrene Road, and at a point approximately 1400' east of Elrene Road. Right and left turn lanes to the north will also be provided at a point one-half between Wescott Hills Drive and Mike Collins Drive, east of Wescott Trail. Typical sections are shown on Figure No. 2. As part of the reconstruction, traffic signals will be added at the intersection with T.H. 149. This will replace the existing stop signs on Yankee Doodle Road. In addition, crossing signals will be added at the crossing of Yankee Doodle Road with the Soo Line Railroad tracks in conjunction with the signals at T.H. 149. The proposed intersection with T.H. 149 is shown on Figure No. 3. 49528Rhpt te; LOCATION PLAN EAGAN, MINNESOTA YANKEE DOODLE ROAD (C.R. 28) CITY PROJECT No. 638R L•\49\49528\49528R05.DWG FEBRUARY 1994 URE 1 jiaBones troo Rosene Andertik Q Associates w~, Ilb -NJ& H f; i LONE OAK RD \ LONE OAK ISD I' 1011111111 ' lirill"11111141111 YANKEE bah nil �+kt.

These trails will be built in accordance with the City's Master Trail Plan. Storm Sewer. Storm sewer improvements will involve both the use of existing facilities and construction of new laterals and trunk systems. The proposed improvements are shown on Figures No. 4, 5, and 6. At the intersections of Golfview Drive, Wescott Hills Drive, Wescott Trail, and Mike Collins Drive, the existing storm sewer will be modified to match new street widths. New lateral storm sewer with catch basins is proposed for Yankee Doodle Road between Mike Collins Drive and T.H. 149. In October, 1992 a study was prepared to investigate potential flooding at the low point of Yankee Doodle Road. It was stated the existing low point elevation in Yankee Doodle Road is 858.0 and under fully developed land conditions, the estimated water depth based on existing conditions for 5, 25, and 100 -year storm events would be as follows: Storm (yr.) Elevation (ft.) 5 858.1 25 860.1 100 860.8 Estimated Water Depth Low Point 858 0.1 2.1 2.8 As a result, the existing storm sewer system will cause flooding in the low point of Yankee Doodle Road under ultimate land use conditions. The following alternatives were further investigated as part of this project to improve the existing storm sewer system in this area: 1. Raise the low point in Yankee Doodle Road. 2. Construct additional storm sewer from Mike Collins Drive and Yankee Doodle Road through Gopher Eagan Industrial Park 2nd Addition to Pond EP -2 (Fig. 7) 3. Provide additional ponding along the north side of Yankee Doodle Road east of Mike Collins Drive. Preliminary plans from Dakota County indicate that the low point in Yankee Doodle Road will be raised from 858 to 860.0. However, a substantial amount of storm water storage is lost between 858 and 860 due to the filling of Yankee Doodle Road due to it's width (total width including road, trails, and boulevard is 130'). 49S28Rhpt 8 Therefore, a storm water analysis was done as part of this report to determine the extent of flooding in Yankee Doodle Road for a 100 year event assuming an outlet pipe through Gopher Eagandale and Industrial Park 2nd Addition is constructed as shown on Figure No. 7. Listed below is the results of that analysis based on the design for Yankee Doodle Road proposed by Dakota County. Outlet Pipe Diameter Elevation (ft) Estimated Water Depth Low Point @ 860 48" 857.9 0 36" 860.5 0.5 30" 861.25 1.25 No pipe 863.1 3.1 It's felt a minimal amount of flooding in Yankee Doodle Road is acceptable. Therefore it is recommended a 36" outlet pipe be constructed through Gopher Eagan Industrial Park 2nd Addition. The 36" storm sewer pipe will be extended from an existing manhole at Mike Collins Drive to a point east of Lot 24 of Gopher Eagan Industrial Park 2nd Addition. It will be constructed and stubbed immediately north of the new road surface until Gopher Eagan Industrial Park 2nd Addition is developed or an alignment/cost sharing agreement can be reached between the property owners and City. It's not felt, based on the value of the land and the cost to construct the 36" outlet pipe, that providing additional ponding adjacent to the low point in Yankee Doodle Road is cost effective. Therefore, it is recommended an additional storm sewer outlet pipe be constructed for this area to Pond EP -2 as shown on Figure No. 7. 49528Rhpt ) 9 3N11 HDI W 101.

It is proposed to extend lateral sanitary sewer lines from the existing sanitary sewer to 'service Parcels 010-02, 012-23, and 012-26 to accommodate future development, as shown on Figure No.'s 7, 8, and 9. This construction will consist of connecting to an existing sanitary manhole and installing sanitary sewer pipe to the right-of- way near the undeveloped parcels to minimize possible future disturbance of newly constructed streets. Also, the existing sanitary sewer lines were televised to review its existing condition to determine if repair is needed. It was discovered that two sewer line repairs are needed. It is proposed that portions of these pipes be excavated and repaired. As part of water main improvements, water main is proposed to be extended to service Parcels 010-53, 383-04, and Outlots F and I of Gopher Eagan Industrial Park 2nd Addition. This work will be done to minimize possible future disturbances of the new street and to accommodate future development of these parcels. It is also proposed that four new gate valves be installed on existing hydrant and water service lines. Water main improvements are also shown on Figures 7, 8, and 9. In addition to installation of new sewer and water mains, existing manhole structures and gate valves will be adjusted to meet new grades and existing hydrants will be relocated as required. 49528R/rpt (eo 33411 HatvvI N O 0 7 J 1 1 i t1 1 til _ 1 1/1 •AUO M. phuCAy UObUIX 1 a u) O 0 A Hr tl I/ r 1 1 • "6 b.

A preliminary assessment roll is included in Appendix A located at the back of this report. Assessments are separated into streets and sanitary sewer/water service. Street improvements are proposed to be assessed against benefitting properties. The commercial rate of $113.00 per assessable front foot and the multi -unit rate of $84.25 per assessable front foot was used to determine assessments for the properties on Yankee Doodle Road in accordance with the 1994 Fee Schedule for the City of Eagan. The affected properties with their front footage is shown on Figure No. 11. Based on a previous agreement with the developer of Tomark 1st Addition and Stuarts 2nd Addition, it is also proposed to assess that property for trail construction at $12.60 per assessable front foot. Sanitary sewer and water main extensions to serve future subdivisions or development will be assessed to the abutting property they serve. Sanitary sewer and water service proposed herein may be modified based on further discussions with property owners. In the event additional services are requested, they will be constructed and assessed in accordance with this report. The property owner will have the option, at the time of the assessment hearing, to pay the assessment in full following the assessment hearing or include the assessment as part of their property tax statement. If the assessment is included on the property tax statement, the assessment will be spread over a 15 year period and at an interest rate determined by the bond sale financing this improvement. 49528Rirpt (.0 7 21 0 O 8 r r- - - — anup sII!H }}oosaM J v an N ▪ O 0 e anuany £.17 3 a uolouixai p. a : 1 : p .\--;„ 3 ; ..., t.

The report will outline both roadway and storm drainage improvements required on Yankee Doodle Road and Terminal Drive to bring the existing roadway and Local storm drainage to current standards. Roadway improvements will range from milling and overlay to complete reconstruction depending upon the existing conditions within Terminal Drive and Yankee Doodle Road. The location of the area of study and proposed street improvements are presented in Exhibits 1 and 2. The area under study is currently zoned LI for light industrial use. SCOPE The purpose of this report is to consider upgrading the existing roadway section to restore the pavement to an improved surface condition and provide an additional 20 years of service life for the pavement. In addition, the improvements will enhance rideability and insure a uniform 10 -ton load capacity. Also, it is proposed to construct storm drainage improvements within the southern portion of Sibley Terminal Addition. The existing street section on Terminal Drive will be increased to a uniform 10 -ton design standard by milling and overlaying. Deteriorated sections of Yankee Doodle Road will also be reconstructed or overlaid to meet the desired surface condition and desired 10 -ton design standard. A presentation of the recommended design cross sections for both construction options is shown on Exhibit 6. A number of the driveway entrances within the development require reconstruction due to deterioration or non-conformance to City standard design. The existing driveway entrances have been compared to the City standard and it appears only a small number actually comply with the City requirements. However, most are in reasonably good condition and do not need complete replacement. Those requiring repair, replacement, or new entrances will be identified. Exhibits 3, 4, and 5 illustrate proposed driveway improvements. This feasibility report will present the existing conditions, proposed improvements, estimated construction and overhead costs, engineering, City administration, and fiscal costs. Possible financing methods will also be discussed and a preliminary assessment roll was prepared in accordance with the current City of Eagan assessment policy. FXTSTTNG CONDITIONS ,Streetc - C;Pneral Yankee Doodle Road and Terminal Drive are both currently 44 feet in width with concrete curb and gutter. The roadways were initially designed to a 9 -ton design standard. The roadways were built in 1970. Major maintenance has been done in the area, including seal coating in 1983 and major crack filling and seal coating in 1989. Over the years, the City has also done incidental patching and minor repairs. The existing roadway pavement now shows signs of deterioration. FEAS-112.005 C OACH MAN OAKS TA ENOF ADDITION MIMIC SIBLEY JERMINAL INDUSTRIAL PARK cn OF EAGAN PROJ. NO. eel LOCATION MAP city of cagan This deterioration has been caused by inadequate drainage, leading to subgrade weakness and traffic loading which has resulted in surface distress. In order to determine the current conditions of Terminal Drive and Yankee Doodle Road and design a cross section to meet the 10 -ton design standard, the existing load bearing capacity of these roadways was evaluated. The City employed Braun Intertec, Inc., to perform the required "road rating" tests. The tests include penetration borings to determine the existing bituminous and base thicknesses, as well as a structural evaluation consisting of measuring the pavement deflection in response to a known applied load. These analyses were based upon the results of the deflection tests, existing pavement section, subgrade soil classification, heavy commercial average daily traffic counts, and visual observations conducted by Braun and MSA engineers. As can be seen in Appendix C, the 10 -ton load standard is currently met in most sections of Terminal Drive and Yankee Doodle Road. The City obtained traffic counts during October 1993, and MSA gathered vehicle type percentages in the field during the same time period. The Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) was 1,182 trips per 24-hour period per lane at the intersection of Yankee Doodle Road and Highway 13. The AADT counts were not as great at the intersection of Terminal Drive and Highway 13 (258 per day per lane). Since the potential for additional development within the northern portion of Terminal Drive exists, the greater of these values will be used in determining a roadway cross section. The following table presents the percentages of the ten vehicle types listed in the MnDOT Road Design Manual: Vehicle Type feccriptinn % of A ADT 1 Passenger Cars 34.4 2 Panels & Pickups 39.5 3 Single Unit - 2 Axle/4 0.5 4 Single Unit - 2 Axle/6 12.6 5 Single Unit - 3 Axle 3.2 6 Tractor -trailer 3 -Axle 0.0 7 Tractor -trailer 4 -Axle 0.0 8 Tractor -trailer 5 -Axle 5.6 9 Tractor -trailer 6 -Axle 0.0 10 Trucks w/ trailers and buses 4.2 Typical % of A ADT 83.5 9.0 1.6 1.8 0.5 0.3 0.4 2.4 0.0 0.5 These values were used to calculate a 1994 Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) of 154 per day. This value was then used as a factor in the determination of the required pavement cross section. Soil (aaccificatinn and Pavement ('nnclitinrt The information presented in the Braun Intertec, Inc., report (Appendix C) shows the approximate R -Value for the existing subgrade and the estimated Granular Equivalency for the existing street. The existing Granular Equivalency (GE) along Terminal Drive is approximately 24 inches, with the exception of approximately two hundred feet of roadway in the sag point from station 10+50 to 12+50 where some roadway settlement is apparent. This area showed visible deflection of 1/8" or greater when measured with a 10 -foot long straight edge. FES 112.005 7 -3- The effective subgrade R -Value for the length of Terminal Drive was approximately R-18, with the exception of the same area which was approximately R-13 as determined by Braun Intertec. Braun also determined the effective GE along Yankee Doodle Road to be approximately 22 inches and the effective R -Value was R-21. In addition to Road Rater analyses, Braun provided the Pavement Condition Indexes obtained in October 1993. These values are presented below with the appropriate recommended means of restoration: Street Section pc! Value ReStnratinn Required Terminal Drive (from Sibley 52 Overlay Highway to vertical sag point) Terminal Drive (from the sag point 37 Overlay to Yankee Doodle Road) Yankee Doodle Road (from Sibley 5 Reconstruction/Overlay Highway to Terminal Drive) The PCI values rank the surface condition of the roadway on a scale from 0 to 100. This is an important aspect of street evaluation from which the following maintenance requirements can be deduced: PCI Rating Maintenance Reayire4 55 - 100 Crack Filling/Seal Coat 35 - 55 Bituminous Patch/Overlay 0 - 35 Reconstruction As outlined above, PCI ratings below 35 generally require removal of the existing pavement and reconstruction. Based upon the settlement of the street and soil borings, the existing aggregate base and subgrade may or may not require removal and reconstruction. PCI ratings between 35 and 55 indicate a street surface that can be restored through patching and overlaying the street, while those greater than 55 indicate the need for routine street maintenance in the form of seal coating. According to the Road Rater analysis, both of these streets are structurally adequate to support 10 - ton axle loads at this time; however, the MnDOT Road Design Manual identifies a 2.0% per year growth factor for Dakota County. With a 2.0% per year growth factor, the GE should be approximately 28.5 inches to adequately support the projected 10 -ton traffic volumes into the future according to the MnDOT Road Design manual. In addition to the need for additional GE, localized repairs and pavement replacement will be required at various locations throughout the limits of the project. Site observations and the Pavement Condition Index (PCI = 5) determined by Braun indicate the middle 300-400 feet of Yankee Doodle Road are badly deteriorated with exposed aggregate, FEAS-1 I2.005 severe cracking, and potholing. The curb and gutter sections are also cracked, and several have sunk below established grade to the point that drainage along the sag section of the street is greatly inhibited. Also, the intersection of Yankee Doodle Road and Terminal Road shows similar deterioration. Sturm Drainagr The existing storm drainage system along the southern half of Terminal Drive does not have adequate catch basin inlet capacity as required in the City's Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan. Based upon an estimated drainage area of sixty acres and an estimated runoff factor of .70 to .75 for city/industrial areas, the runoff from the southern portion of the Terminal Drive area is approximately 120 cubic feet per second for the 25 -year storm. Although the piping is adequate to route this drainage, a lack of storm sewer catch basins on Terminal Drive may create large volumes of storm drainage within the curb and gutter section, especially as additional future development of the area takes place. To lessen this problem, all future development or redevelopment should be served by internal storm sewer which will connect to the existing public system. The same problem exists on Yankee Doodle Road, in as much as there are only two catch basins collecting the runoff from approximately 16 acres. Again, the piping is appropriately sized for the drainage. The installation of additional catch basins will eliminate the surface drainage within the curb and gutter section along this street. Since development of this area is nearly complete, it is not practical to handle drainage from abutting properties by internal storm sewer and stormwater must be picked up in the street system. At TH 13 and Terminal Drive, storm sewer improvements should be installed. Currently, the intersection lacks curbs and storm sewer, resulting in bank erosion, pavement deterioration, and an unsafe condition for turning traffic. Driveways The driveway entrances along Terminal Drive and Yankee Doodle Road do not meet the city standard specifications for commercial entrances from a 44 -foot roadway. These entrances are inadequate for the high capacity traffic they currently handle. While these entrances do not meet City standards, most do not warrant complete replacement. In several locations, driveways are being used that do not have curb openings. Standard driveway entrances should be provided in these cases. Also, several existing driveways need repairs due to lack of curb radii and paving to control traffic. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS Street Tmprovements The proposed street section will match the existing 44 -foot roadway and will be a 10 -ton per axle design standard.

Based upon the existing subgrade and pavement cross section, an estimated GE value of 24 inches was determined. Based upon on site observations, milling of a 6 -foot wide strip will be conducted to a depth of 2 inches to feather the new surface flush with the existing gutter line. In areas where substantial pavement deflection is evident, the remaining width of the street will be milled to a depth of 1 inch and a 3 -inch overlay will be applied to ensure the roadway meets the desired design cross section (GE=28.5). This will be completed on the east and west 200 to 400 feet of Yankee Doodle Road and a 200 -foot section of Terminal Drive from station 10+50 to 12+50. These areas were determined from the Braun Intertec report and visual observations of the existing pavement surface which were conducted using a 10 -foot long straight -edge to determine roadway deflection. The middle section of Yankee Doodle Road will require reconstruction to include granular subbase and subgrade drainage improvements. Removal of the pavement section and subgrade preparation will include the placement of select granular material and perforated drain tile to provide for improved subgrade drainage and an enhanced roadway lifespan. The Yankee Doodle Road street section will also be constructed to the 10 -ton design standard. This reconstruction pavement section is presented in Exhibit 6. The pavement section will consist of 10 inches of aggregate base and 6 inches of bituminous pavement. Exhibit 2 shows the locations for both pavement overlay and reconstruction areas. The costs associated with the street reconstruction/overlay are outlined in Appendix A. Storm Sewer improvements The storm sewer improvements along the middle 400 to 600 feet of Yankee Doodle Road will include six additional catch basins as presented in Exhibit 2 to remove runoff from the curb and gutter and route it beneath the surface. New curb and gutter associated with the reconstructed section of Yankee Doodle Road will also enhance storm drainage. The storm drainage improvements will be designed for the 25 -year storm at the sag points along Yankee Doodle Road, and for the 10 -year storm for all other areas of the project. The costs associated with the storm sewer construction are outlined in Appendix A at the end of this report. Driveway F.ntrances Some driveway entrances along the lengths of Terminal Drive and Yankee Doodle Road will require modification or reconstruction to meet the City standard specification for driveway entrances. New entrances will be 40 feet wide with 30 -foot turn radii. Driveways to be repaired will match existing widths. The reconstructed driveway aprons will consist of a 7 -inch concrete section (mix designation 3A32) and will extend 121/2 feet behind the bituminous pavement edge. The City standard driveway entrance is presented in Exhibit 7. A listing of driveways requiring modification or replacement is presented in Exhibit 6 along with recommended improvements. Locations for driveway repairs or replacements are shown in Exhibits 3, 4, and 5. FEAs-112.005 Terminal Drive and Highway 13 Drainage In addition to the improvements outlined above, the intersection of Terminal Drive and Highway 13 will receive drainage improvements consisting of ditch grading, culvert replacement, installation of new curb and gutter, and the installation of two catch basins to remove storm runoff from the intersection. The costs of these improvements are included in the storm drainage improvement costs in Appendix A. Utility Repairs As part of the project, minor repairs to the sanitary sewer and watermain systems will be completed as required. EASF.MF.NTS AND PERMITS All storm sewer pipe required to upgrade the storm drainage within the area will connect to existing storm sewer and remain within the existing right-of-way. Additional easements are not anticipated for the project. In addition, permits should not be required for the storm drainage improvements as these improvements will not increase the runoff, but will reroute it into underground conduit flowing in the street gutters. A permit will be required for the construction taking place at the intersection of Terminal Drive and Sibley Highway, as that is within the MnDOT right -of way for that roadway. Application for these permits generally is completed by the Engineer during preparation of the specifications. The Contractor will be responsible for providing any necessary bonds after the construction bid has been awarded. All other work will be conducted within the existing right-of-way; therefore, no additional easements or permits are anticipated. pROJECT COST The estimated construction costs for the proposed storm drainage and street improvements are presented in Appendix A. The estimated overhead items such as engineering, construction staking and inspection, city administration, fiscal, and legal expenses have been estimated at 30% and a 5% contingency cost has also been included. The estimated total project cost is $379,000. pROJF.CT FINANCING The recommended method of financing the Terminal Drive/Yankee Doodle Road Street Improvements is through uniform special assessments of all of the benefitted commercial properties in accordance with current City policy, since all properties will benefit uniformly from the project The benefitting properties are proposed to be assessed the construction cost plus the FEAS-112.005 estimated 30% indirect cost. Assessments will be paid over a 10 year period at the interest rate obtained at the time of the bond sale. A preliminary assessment roll is included as Appendix B of this report. It addresses proposed assessments to each specific property within the project limits. The estimated street assessment per linear foot of street footage is $33.45. The minor storm sewer improvements on Yankee Doodle Road are considered as repairs and are proposed to be funded by the City. The costs for the storm sewer improvements at Terminal Drive and TH 13 are included in the street improvement costs. Driveway repair or replacement costs are proposed to be charged directly to the benefitting property owners. Sanitary sewer or watermain repairs are funded by the City through existing utility funds. Curb repairs are also funded by the City based on current policy. ASSESSMENT Assessments are proposed to be levied against the benefitted properties as outlined in the City of Eagan's current assessment policy for street reconstruction. A summary of the assessment policy for such a project is presented below, and a preliminary assessment roll has been included as Appendix B of this report. The assessments presented are based upon preliminary cost estimates and will be revised based upon the actual construction costs.

These improvements would consist of the installation of additional catch basins and the associated RCP sewer pipe. The intersection of Terminal Drive and Highway 13 should also receive drainage improvements as recommended. ■ Structure Adjustment - All utility structures would be adjusted to match the proposed overlay surface. ■ Driveway Entrances - Driveway entrances will be modified or reconstructed as required to conform with the City Standard Detail Plates for commercial driveways. ■ Restoration - All boulevard areas that are disturbed during construction will be restored to their original condition. CONCI 1 JSTON The cost of the reconstruction/overlay of Terminal Drive and Yankee Doodle Road including the associated storm drainage improvements is estimated at $379,000. The project would be completed in accordance with the schedule provided in this report in the fall of 1994. The project would be funded through special assessments to the benefitted properties, and the anticipated assessment per linear foot of street, including minor storm sewer improvements, is $30.55.

Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994 City Council Meeting BUSINESS ............................................... .............................................. ............................................... REZONING/PRELIMINARY PLAT ARCON DEVELOPMENT/WATERVIEW ADDITION A. Rezoning, Arcon Development, of 17.84 acres from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Single Family) and a Preliminary Plat, Arcon Development, Waterview Addition consisting of 20 single family lots located east of Dodd Road and west of Highway 3 in the southwest quarter of Section 36 --This rezoning and preliminary plat for the Waterview Addition was originally co idered by the City Council at its meeting of December 21, 1993. Enclosed on pages 1(` through ((7is a copy of the APC minutes regarding this item. Because of issues concerning the future development vision for the entire South Dodd Road area, the City Council continued indefinitely consideration of the application for both the rezoning and the preliminary plat. The City Council also directed staff to conduct an analysis of the development plans for the South Dodd Road area. The analysis of the South Dodd Road area has now been completed and considered by the City Council at its meeting of March 22, 1994. At that time, the City Council decided that the South Dodd Road area should continue to be a part of the City's urban service area. In addition, the Arcon Development should be permitted to develop at R-1 lot densities; however, to mitigate the impacts of the Waterview Addition on the Dodd Road area, Council suggested that the preliminary plat be revised to provide access to Highway 3 rather than gaining access from Dodd Road. City staff at that time wanted the option to remain open as to whether the road should be a cul-de-sac or a through street between Highway 3 and Dodd Road. Staff has since considered this issue and believes that a cul-de-sac coming off of Highway 3 would be acceptable. This option is also preferred by Arcon Development and the residents in the area. The City Council also directed that the preliminary plat be brought back to the City Council for consideration at its meeting of April 19, 1994. The rezoning and preliminary plat for the Waterview Addition was considered by the dsory Planning Commission at its meeting of November 23, 1993. Enclosed on pages through I ( is a copy of the APC minutes and staff report with regard to this item. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning on a 5-2 vote. Because of the issues raised by the residents in the area, it was not a unanimous recommendation. Director of Public Works Colbert has met with the Dodd Road residents subsequent to the City Council's discussion on the policy options for the area. Mr. Colbert explained the Council's decision to keep the area within the urban service area but to revise the Waterview plat and also to consider deferring trunk area assessments that might result from the extension of utilities to the Waterview Addition. I« Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994 City Council Meeting At this time, it would be appropriate for the City Council to consider approval of the rezoning and the preliminary plat for the Waterview Addition. Because the Waterview plat will be significantly revised from that originally recommended by the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission's conditions may no longer be appropriate in all respects. Staff would therefore suggest that the City Council approve the preliminary plat subject to revisions to provide: 1. Access from Highway 3 with a cul-de-sac backing onto Dodd Road, subject to MnDOT approval. 2. Development of not more than 20 lots meeting R-1 zoning requirements. 3. Compliance with all Planning Commission conditions still relevant given revisions in the access and road alignment. 4. Submission of revised lot layout, grading, tree preservation, utility, drainage and landscaping plans for approval by staff prior to development of final plat documents. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a rezoning of 14.8 acres zoned agricultural to R-1 for Arcon Development, Inc. located along the east side of Dodd Road, west of Highway 3 in Section 36 and a preliminary plat consisting of not more than 20 lots on said property subject to the conditions set forth above. � (3 PAGE 9/ EAGAN CITY COUNCIL. MINUTES December 21, 1993 REZONING/ARCON DEVELOPMENT INC Mayor Egan introduced this item as a rezoning for Arcon Development Incorporated, of 14.80 AG (Agricultural) acres to an R-1 (Single Family) district located along the east side of Dodd Road, west of Highway 3 in Section 36. Mayor Eagan reminded the audience that earlier he indicated item C of Public Hearings would be considered with item H and Item I of New Business. Item I was also introduced so discussion of Item C of Public Hearings, and Item H and Item I of New Business could be heard collectively, in order to allow greater flexibility in discussion of these issues. City Administrator Hedges explained that items H, the rezoning request for Arcon Development Inc., and I, preliminary plat for Waterview Addition, would be discussed initially, and depending on the outcome of the both the rezoning and the preliminary plat, the City Council would proceed accordingly. Specifically, he demonstrated, if the Council was in the affirmative for the rezoning and the preliminary plat then a presentation on the Public Hearing portion on the infrastructure would ensue. City Administrator Hedges then explained Item H, the rezoning request, had been heard at a public hearing at the November 23, 1993 Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission is recommending approval for both the rezoning request and the preliminary plat. Director of Community Development Reichert provided background information on the applications and locations for both the rezoning and the preliminary plat requests. She pointed out that the main issue of the rezoning was that the Comprehensive Plan the City of Eagan had adopted intended the area to be fully urbanized and developed. The Planning Commission recommended approval for the rezoning with a 5-2 vote. Discussion of the plat within the Planning Commission centered around whether there should be fewer lots. The Planning Commission, Director of Community Development recalled, recommended the plat as was presented, with 20 lots. She noted that she and the Director of Public Works Colbert met with the residents to discuss the city policy background and available options in two informational meetings. Director of Community Development Reichert further noted that the issue before the Council was if the Council felt that the area should be maintained in a rural character, necessitating the City Council to consider something more than Estate zoning. She passed out a handout on the proposed number of lots for the development. Director of Community Development Reichert pointed out that on Lot 10, Block 1, the lot is 85,000 square feet. Of that, she found the portion that is not within the pond easement is over 20,000 sf. The average lot size she estimated would be over 37,000 sf. The average lot size, excluding the pond easement was shown to exceed 17,900 sf. She added these lots require sewer, water, and storm drainage, and are urban density, rather than self-sufficient rural density. Director of Community Development Reichert noted as the area grows, lots will become more expensive, and overall, the amount of land available in this unique situation is quite small, due to development by the City of Eagan and surrounding areas. Regarding the preliminary plat, Community Development Director explained that the plat had been significantly revised since the first submittal, due to the initial proposal for a long culdesac that posed development concerns for land located to the south. A stub street, along with a temporary culdesac was developed to alleviate the problems associated with the proposed single long culdesac. The animal hospital had also been removed from the initial plat. Scott Johnson, President of Arcon Development stated he felt the design generated by City Staff and Arcon Development Inc. is the only plan suitable for the property. He noted five years ago Clair Fritz had contacted him expressing an interest in improving his property. At that time, Mr. Johnson explained, the A PAGE 10/ EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES December 21, 1993 properties to the north of Fitz Lake were undeveloped at that time and did not possess sewer and water services. Mr Johnson added Mr. Fritz had to wait until those areas were developed, which is now occurring, and Mr. Fritz is the next property owner in line to receive water and sewer services. Following discussion, the hearing was opened to public comment. Doug Johnson, 4775 Dodd Road, thanked both the City Council and staff for their time and effort. He stated Jerry and Diane Meszaros are currently in Florida but did express their support for the letters requesting Estate zoning submitted to the City Council. He added the neighborhood objects to being assessed for sewer and water utilities for many of the residents will be unable to use those services. Chip Morgan, 4785 Dodd Road, thanked the staff and all of those involved for their time and effort. He voiced his opposition to the improvements for the following reasons: 1) the self contained nature of the location, 2) the longevity of the neighborhood, 3) the current large lot, 1-5 acres, characteristics of the lots, and 4) the development of the neighborhood prior to the creation of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Tom Gustafson, 4822 Dodd road, thanked the staff for their assistance. He raised various questions he held regarding Land Use Zoning Regulations in Chapter 11. He voiced concern over the plan for the west portion, next to his property. City Attorney Sheldon clarified that the abutting property owner has standing to request vacation and the City has the authority to petition on it's own, for that portion if desired. Mr. Gustafson questioned whether the portion along Highway 3 had been classified as wetlands and what would be done with the area. Director of Public Works Colbert read from the staff report in response, clarifying that the developer's consultant identified wetlands associated with Fitz Lake as the only wetland on the site. Mr. Gustafson asked whether the sedimentation pre-treatment pond would affect lot size. Director of Public Works Colbert responded a dedication of an easement would be needed incorporating the west pre- treatment pond, but that it would not affect the lot size, only the buildable size of the lot. Councilmember Awada noted should the area be changed to Estate zoning, the maximum number of buildable lots for the area would only be 13. Mr. Gustafson presented his concern over frontage area to the road regarding lots 10, 11, and 12 (53, 56, and 60 feet, respectively) compared to the City of Eagan's standard of 60 feet. Director of Community Development Reichert stated the standard consistently applied within the subdivision ordinance for actual frontage onto the street is 50 feet. Mr. Gustafson also expressed his concern over the removal of trees and Oak Wilt. Mike Neisius, 4856 Dodd Road, owner of a trucking business abutting Highway 3 on 4855 Dodd Road, questioned what impact the development would have on his business expansion. Director of Community Development Reichert noted the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates that area as D-2, but that currently a small portion of his property is zoned General Business. Mayor Egan clarified that the Land Use Plan designated the area to be ultimately developed in that classification, but that the business owner could reasonable anticipate using the frontage road for his business. Couneilmember Awada requested comments from staff and the audience regarding the option of leaving the area zoned Agricultural. Director of Community Development Reichert proposed a future presentation of the different options on how to provide utilities to the property and minimize financial impacts on other properties. She further explained the location of the property, surrounding areas and uses, and available utilities. Director of Community Development Reichert defined an Agricultural zone and pointed out that there are some lots in the area that would not meet the five acre minimum requirement. Mayor Egan articulated problems associated the zoning the area Agricultural. PAGE 11/ EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES December 21, 1993 Counciilmember Wachter asserted the need to look at associated impacts for properties to the south and west of the neighborhood Coundlmember Awada noted that the Planning Commission did fulfill their job following the code, but that the City Council needed to find out additional information such as what rights Mr. Fritz possesses, lot sizes of R-1 zoned land, owners feelings regarding changing the area within the Comprehensive Land Guide to Estate or Agricultural This information, the City Council agreed, should be brought back to the City Council for review. Mayor Egan stated he wished to have all affected property owners to the east and south of Highway 3 notified as well He added he would Lice an investigation on issues such as the costs and associated impacts of looping the sanitary sewer system and water main versus allowing services to continue south, what the City's loss of revenue would be if the area was unserviceable, the impact of the Council's decision on the City's trunk systems, and technical, legal, and planning issues of rezoning the land from R-1 to Estate. Director of Community Development Reichert noted that it appeared the City Council wished to continue the application for rezoning and preliminary plat. She pointed out staff would take the time to complete the research, but due to a priority commercial study, the investigation of issues relating to the rezoning and preliminary plat request would require a significant amount of time. Mayor Egan questioned if Scott Johnson, President of Arcon Development, found the continuance acceptable, and Mr. Johnson replied that it was. Mayor Egan then clarified that the Council could move to continue indefinitely the applications for rezoning and preliminary plat, and deny the application for Public Improvement Project 666. Wachter moved, Awada seconded, a motion to continue indefinitely the application for a rezoning of approximately 14.8 agricultural acres to R-1 (Single Family) located along the ease side of Dodd Road, west of Highway 3, in Section 36. Aye: 5 Nay. 0 PRELIMINARY PLAT/WATERVIEW ADDITION Mayor Egan introduced this item as a preliminary plat for Waterview Addition/Arcon Development Incorporated, consisting of 20 lots located along the east side of Dodd Road, west of Highway 3 in Section 36. This item was introduced with item C of Public Hearings and the rezoning request for Arcon Development to allow for greater flexibility in discussing these closely related items.

Chairman Voracek opened the next public hearing of the evening regarding a Rezoning of 14.80 AG (Agricultural) acres to an R-1 (Single Family) district located along the east side of Dodd Road west of Highway 3 in Section 36. City Planner Sturm stated that the applicant was requesting a rezoning of 14.8 acres from Agricultural to an R-1 district located along the east side of Dodd Road west of Highway 3 in Section 36. He stated that presently Lakeside Animal Hospital is on the eastern portion of the site but the applicant intends to remove it before development. The City's comprehensive guide plan designates the subject property as D -II (Mixed Residential) and the proposed rezoning to R-1 is consistent with the guide plan. Mr. Sturm noted that the applicant was also requesting a preliminary plat consisting of 20 lots to be beard on the next agenda item. Scott Johnson, president of Arcon Development Inc., was present but stated that he had no additional comments regarding the rezoning request. Doug Johnson, 4775 Dodd Road, stated he owns property across Dodd Road from the proposed development. He stated that he is representing the property owners located on the west side of Dodd Road, south of Cliff Road and north of Farm Road. Mr. Johnson stated that the property owners' first concern is that the proposed development is inconsistent with the neighborhood, noting that the existing lots are 1-6 acre lots which have been there for approximately 30 years. Mr. Johnson further noted that a majority of the existing lots are approximately 5 acre lots and many have horse farms. He stated that the proposed development will take away the rights of these horst owners. Mr. Johnson stated that his community is on the southeast end of Eagan and is not typical of Eagan. He stated that 95 to 99 percent of the properties in this area are developed as a community with space and privacy. He stated his concern is that the neighbors do not have a voice. He further stated that their concerns for the development are the same as if they, lived in a residential area and the proposed development was an apartment building. The residents wished to see the proposed development to have 2 to 4 acre lots. Mr. Johnson stated that their second concern was the proposed City utility services extension along Dodd Road. He explained that the existing property owners are not asking for or interested in the Page 12/EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES NOVEMBER 23, 1993 proposed utilities and that the developer should pay for the utilities. Re again stated that the subject property is the last piece of land to be developed and therefore the developer should pay for the utilities. Be also addressed the following questions to the Commission: (1) whether the utilities are for this one development; (2) what will happen to the condition of Dodd Road when heavy construction equipment uses it; (3) why the development cannot be required to have larger lots; and (4) what is the comprehensive guide plan and when was it put into place. Charles Morgan, 4785 Dodd Road, stated that he bought his property approximately five years ago and chose the location because of the character of the neighborhood. Jim Thompson, 4875 Dodd Road, stated he has 335 feet of frontage along Dodd Road and therefore is concerned with respect to any assessments for the proposed utilities. He stated that the assessment would be greater than the price he paid to build his house. Mr. Thompson further stated that he should not have to pay for utilities when he bought S acres to avoid City utilities. He stated that the developer should pay for the utilities. Bob Hawkins, 4711 Dodd Road, stated that his house is 600 to 700 feet from Dodd Road and therefore should not have to pay for the utilities. He further stated that he concurs with the other residents and that he bought his property to enjoy the area. • Kr. Mooseback, 4795 Dodd Road, stated that he is a 16 -year resident and concurs with the other residents regarding the composition of the development and concerns regarding the utilities. He also stated that he has no need for or interest in running utilities to his property. Ann Johnson, 4775 Dodd Road, stated she is 'strongly opinionated" regarding the proposed development. She stated that the subject property should not be rezoned but continue to exist as is. She stated that should the rezoning request be approved, she asks that the subject property be platted with minimum two -acre lots. Ms. Johnson further stated that City water utilities are not wanted in that area. Community Development Director Reichert responded to Doug Johnson's questions. She explained that the City's comprehensive guide plan was in response to a state requirement and was required to obtain the Metropolitan Council's approval. She further explained that the City was required to decide whether the City would remain as Page 13/EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES NOVEMBER 23, 1993 it was or whether the City would be "urbanized." She stated that the City told the Metropolitan Council at the time the plan was approved that the City wanted to be urban. Ms. Reichert, referring to the Eagan zoning map, explained that the southeast corner of Eagan has continually been rezoned from agricultural since 1991 as a result of the City's policy for urban development. With respect to the utility connection charges to the properties along Dodd Road in connection with the proposed development, Community Development Director Reichert explained that the burden of the utility costs are on the properties that are to be served now or will be eventually. This policy is the City Council's reaffirmed wish to have the City "fully urbanized." Assistant City Engineer Foertsch explained that there are two options available to extend City utility services to the proposed development: (1) extend services along Dodd Road; or (2)'extend utility services along Highway 3 to the subject property. He stated that City staff recommends Option /1 (extend services along Dodd Road). Be noted that there will be connection charges but Option 11 will have less of an impact. Mr. Foertsch explained the policy behind trunk area connection charges, stating that the cost for oversizing a system to handle the added use is paid by every City resident. He noted that it was not mandatory for the residents along Dodd Road to book up to the City utilities. He further noted that the proposed charges are not for book -up but for trunk charges (cost for oversizing the system). This is a policy that has long been followed by the City and is consistent with past practices. He stated that under Option /1 the property owners will be charged $1,540.00 per acre for sewer trunk charges and $1,615 per acre for water trunk charges. Under Option 02 the property owners would be charged the connection charges, plus assessed for installation costs along Dodd (toad. Member Hoeft suggested to the property owners that they take the issue of trunk connection charges up with the City Council and suggested that they seek a waiver. Assistant City Engineer Foertsch stated that be was not familiar with any case of waiver of connection charges by the Council, but noted the Council has negotiated with property owners with respect to payment plans of such charges. Community Development Director Reichert stated that an area in the southeast corner that was removed from the "community area" was not required to pay connection charges but added that the property owners were required to waive any right to subdivide their property in the future. A cheer of agreement echoed throughout the audience. Page 14/EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COIMIISSION MINUTES NOVEMBER 23, 1993 Ron Armstrong, a resident of Dodd Road, stated that he vas concerned with the heavy equipment on Dodd Road because the road was just recently paved and the property owners wars assessed. Chairman Voracek inquired of City staff as to how small a parcel can be subdivided without City utilities being required. City Attorney Dougherty stated that the Metropolitan Council and Dakota County are hesitant to allow more wells and septic systems. He further stated that he is unaware of any standard to determine how many acres are required for a well or septic system. Member Hoeft stated that the only issue presently before the Commission was rezoning and that he was not in favor of "holding the parcel hostage" by requiring larger lots. He stated that he favored the rezoning of the property. Member Miller concurred with Member Hoeft stating that the issue is whether to change the property from Agricultural to R-1. Chairman Voracek stated that he recognized a policy for urban development in the City but would like an opportunity to see a section of this City allow larger lots, not just residential size lots. He suggested to continue the matter to request a policy statement from the City Council addressing the issue of leaving an area of this City as agricultural or limit it to larger lots. Alternate Wallace concurred with Chairman Voracek and added that the utility trunk charges concerned him. Member Miller stated that ha acknowledged the neighboring property owners' rights but also that the applicant has aright as a property owner to rezone the property from Agricultural to R-1. Chairman Voracek responded by stating he was not looking to deny the applicant his rights as a property owner but as a responsible member of the Commission representing the residents he believed the City should take time to make a decision in this matter and not be hasty. Member Miller stated that it would not be necessary to continue this matter to ask the Council for a policy statement regarding the rezoning issue because the Council may make that determination when the rezoning issue in this matter is before them. Page 15/EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES NOVEMBER 23, 1993 ![ember Heyl stated that she would recommend approval of the rezoning because it is consistent with the comprehensive guide plan. Scott Johnson stated that the City Council's policy for urbanization is affirmed in the City's comprehensive guide plan. further stated that the City Council can address the issue of rezoning in this area at its meeting on this matter. He further stated that the financial burden is not the developer's responsibility pursuant to the City Council's policies. Member Markley concurred with Member Miller stating that the rezoning issue was before the Commission and the question of lot size is a plat issue to be decided during the next item. Community Development Director Reichert stated that there is a 12,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size in a R-1 district and it is questionable whether the City may require larger lots. City Attorney Dougherty stated that the issue is whether to approve the request to rezone. He stated that the denial must not be arbitrary or capricious. Member Hoeft stated that the proposed plat indicates that several lots have a large area but 2/3 may be under water. He questioned how such area was under water. City Planner Sturm showed the proposed plat regarding the lot lines. The developer stated that the water lines meet all ordinary high water mark requirements. Markley moved, Miller seconded, the motion to approve a Rezoning of 14.80 AG (Agricultural) acres to an R-1 (Single Family) district located along the east side of Dodd Road west of Highway 3 in Section Be 36. Merkley, Miller, Hoeft, Heyl, Gorman approved; Voracek, Wallace opposed. Passed 5-2. SUBJECT: APPLICANT.

WITH AREA RESIDENTS REGARDING WATERVIEW ADDITION On Monday evening, December 6, a meeting was held with approximately 15 residents of South Dodd Road with discussion focusing on general development/public improvements in the Waterview area. Peggy gave an overview on urban service areas and explained that Eagan has plans to become totally urbanized. Approximately 50% of the residents In attendance live on the east and west sides of Dodd Road, with most south of Fitz Lake. Tom gave an overview of the utility comprehensive plans, Including sanitary water and storm sewer, noting that 93% of Eagan drains toward the Minnesota River and is included In the Gun Club Lake Watershed District. Someone raised the question, 'Who pays for the trunk utilitiesr Tom responded by providing a history of how Eagan has handled assessments; the oversizing of trunk utilities; and distributed a handout on special assessments, noting that trunk utilities are usually assessed over a 15 -year period; laterals are assessed on what is actually needed. No oversizing occurs. He also explained that while there are three kinds of assessments, each Is only done one time and that R-1 development costs are roughly $20,000/acre. There was discussion regarding the costs associated with the upgrading of Dodd Road and the residents strongly expressed their desire to leave the road 'as Is.' The residents expressed repeated concern with the Waterview Addition, stating that they would like much less density. They felt It was Incompatible with the general area and that Fitz Lake Is a natural breakpoint with the single family development to the north. They were In favor of Estate size lots as they felt they woulldbe much more compatible with their property which ranges In size from one to fireacres. I There were general questions regarding the procedJre for the December 21 City Council meeting and It Is my Impression they will have one Spokesperson for their group. SUBJECT: APPLICANT: LOCATION: EXISTING ZONING: DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: DATE OF REPORT: COMPILED BY: PRELIMINARY PLAT (WATERVIEW ADDITION) ARCON DEVELOPMENT, INC. PART OF N 1/2 OF SECTION 36 AND OUTLOT A, DODD VIEW ADDITION R-1 (SINGLE FAMILY) & (A) AGRICULTURAL NOVEMBER 23, 1993 NOVEMBER 19, 1993 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION SUMMARY: An application has been submitted requesting a Preliminary Plat of twenty lots on 17.84 acres. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Chapter 13, Subdivision Regulations (Platting). BACKGROUND: Rezoning and Preliminary Plat applications were submitted for review by the Advisory Planning Commission at their August 24, 1993 meeting. The original applications were for a Planned Development district allowing a mixture of single family and animal hospital uses. The plat indicated Carol Street to be vacated which was not the case and this item was continued a month to vacate Carol Street. The street vacation was heard at the September 21, 1993 City Council meeting where it was again continued due to site - related issues associated to landlocldng Oudot B, Dodd View Addition, and was to be considered with the Final Plat. It was again continued at the September 28 and October 26,1993 Advisory Planning Commission meetings. During this time, staff reviewed revised plans submitted by the developer in an effort to develop a new Preliminary Plat. The current owner, Clarence Fitz, has decided to discontinue Lakeside Animal Hospital, thus requiring the rezoning and preliminary plat applications to change. The rezoning is to R-1 (Single Family) only and the Preliminary Plat was revised to exclude the animal hospital and its access to Highway 3. The developer and City staff have worked out a possible solution to the vacation of Carol Street. In earlier plans, seven lots would have bad double frontage from Waterview Court and Carol Street. The revised Preliminary Plat eliminates these double frontage lots. PROPOSAL: Arcon Development is requesting twenty single family lots on 17.84 acres. Proposed access to the lots is from one cul-de-sac (Waterview Court) off Dodd Road. No access will be taken from Highway 3. The lots range in size from 12,981 sq. ft. to 85,050 sq. ft. and meet all minimum zoning requirements. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: Shoreland Zoning. Fitz Lake has been deemed a General Development Lake within the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance and is subject to all its regulations. TREE PRESERVATION: A Tree Preservation and Tree Replacement Plan has been submitted for this development. The plan indicates a total of 154 significant trees located on this site. Twenty-seven trees, or 17% of the total, will be removed as a result of initial site development. This is within the standard of the Tree Preservation Guidelines and no tree replacement will be required. Of the 27 trees to be removed, several of these are large oak trees which occur within the location of the proposed Waterview Court cul-de-sac. Staff has reviewed this loss of trees with the developer, but unfortunately there does not appear to be adequate space to redesign the cul-de-sac in order to save an appreciable number of these trees. It should also be noted that the presence of significant trees on Lots 4-11 and Lot 20, Block 1, will require future builders of these sites to prepare individual lot tree preservation plans at the time of building permit application. PARK & TRAIL DEDICATION: The Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission will be reviewing this Preliminary Plat at their December meeting. Cash parks and cash trail dedications are anticipated. GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL: The proposed development consists of lightly rolling hills that contain a mixture of grass areas and wooded areas. The north edge of this site abuts Fitz Lake which is designated as Pond LP -26 in the City's Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan. The outlet for Pond LP -26 was provided in 1992 with the Lakeview Trail Addition, City Project #635. The preliminary grading plan shows the majority of this site will be disturbed to prepare the streets and to construct the houses in this development The maximum fill shown is 8' and the maximum cut is 14'. Storm water drainage from the proposed east/west street called Waterview Court shall be directed to a water quality pond that is located in the northwest corner of this site. The water quality pond shall be designated as Pond LP -26.3 and shall have a storm sewer outlet with a maximum discharge rate of 1 cfs that drains to Pond LP 26. The grading along Pond 12-26 shall provide a 30' buffer zone to help prevent erosion into Pond LP -26. The grading plan shall show that a 30' section along the south edge of the pond shallmot be disturbed. The existing buildings for the animal hospital are shown to be removed. Any existing wells or septic systems on this site shall be plugged and abandoned according to County requirements. The development will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards. WATER QUALITY & WETLANDS: This development is located in Drainage Basin L and will generate runoff that will discharge to Pond 12-26, a 13 -acre pond classified to support indirect contact recreation. Water chemistry data collected in 1992 for this pond indicate that the pond's present water quality is excellent. A treatment pond of at least 0.7 acre-feet in wet volume, having a minimum average depth of 3 feet, constructed according to NURP design standards, and located to intercept all runoff from impervious surfaces within the proposed development will be recommended by staff. It is especially important to construct the 10 foot wide 10:1 bench at the NWL for this pond since it will be located in a residential area. The developer's consultant has identified the wetland associated with Pond 12-26 as the only wetland on the site. The wetland has been delineated and the delineation reviewed and approved by staff. No filling or draining of this wetland is planned and none will be allowed, since the wetland provides a valuable buffer for Pond LP -26. It should be noted that Pond LP -26 is identified as a general development lake in the City's shoreland zoning ordinance. Staff will strongly recommend that the restrictions applying to sboreland alterations for general development waters apply. These provisions prohibit clear - cutting and intensive vegetation clearing within the shore impact zone (2.5 feet of the ordinary high water mark, in this case) and otherwise limit vegetation -disturbing activities within this zone. These recommendations are subject to approval of the Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission. MIL/TIES: Sanitary sewer service of sufficient depth and capacity and water main service of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is available to serve this development from two locations; the first location is 1200' to the northeast at the south edge of the Lakeview Trail Addition along the west edge of State Trunk Highway 3. The sanitary sewer at this location is a 15" RCP line with an invert elevation of 908.8 and the water main is an 8" line. The second location is 800' to the north at the intersection of Dodd Road and McFaddens Trail in the Lakeview Trail Addition. The sanitary sewer at this location is an 8" line with an invert elevation of 913.3 and the water main is also an 8" line. The developer has petitioned the City to construct the sanitary sewer extension to this development and the City has assigned this project as City Project No. 666, Waterview Addition - Utility Extensions. The developer then intends to construct the utilities in Waterview Court to serve the proposed houses in this development The City intends to hold the public hearings for the sanitary sewer and watermain extensions before this development receives preliminary plat approval from the Council. The City Council must approve City Project No. 666 prior to final plat approval. The development will be required to stub 8" sanitary sewer and 8" watermain to the south edge of the plat in the stub street where the temporary cul-de-sac is proposed. STREETS/ACCESS/CIRCULATION: Street access for the proposed development will be provided from Dodd Road, an existing 24' wide bituminous street with rural sections. The development proposes to construct an 800' long cul-de-sac that will connect to Dodd Road to serve proposed lots 2 through 16 of Block 1, and Lots 1 through 3 of Block 2. Proposed Lot 1 is shown to have its driveway access connecting directly to Dodd Road. The development also proposes to construct a 200 -foot long stub street to the south to serve proposed Lot 4 of Block 2. In order to final plat Lot 4 of Block 2, a temporary cul-de-sac with a 45 -foot radius shall be constructed at the south end of the stub street EASEMENTS/RIGHT-OF-WAY/PERMITS: The development shall dedicate all easements required for Pond LP -26 to three feet above the high water level of the pond which is elevation 925.0. The development shall also provide an easement over Pond LP -26.3 to cover an area 3' above the high water level of this pond. The lots along the east edge of the plat abutting Highway 3 shall dedicate a 30' utility easement to allow for the extension of sanitary sewer and watermain along Highway #3. As shown on the preliminary plat, the development shall dedicate a 40' half right-of-way for Dodd Road. The developer has submitted a petition to the City to vacate the right-of-way of Carol Street which abuts the development along the south edge of the plat. If the vacation of Carol Street is not approved, then Lots 14, 15 and 16 of Block 1 and Lot 4 of Block 2 will be below the City's minimum lot size of 12,000 sq. ft. This development will be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA, MWCC, Mn. Department of Health, MnDOT, Mn. DNR, etc.) are acquired prior to final plat approval.

Chairman Voracek opened the next public hearing of the evening regarding a Preliminary Plat consisting of 20 lots on 14.8 acres located along the east side of Dodd Road wast of Highway 3 in Section 36. City Planner Sturm stated that the current owner had decided to discontinue Lakeside Animal Hospital presently on the subject property. He stated that the preliminary plat was revised to exclude the animal hospital and its access to Highway 3. He further stated that the revised preliminary plat vacates the existing Carol Street which would eliminate double frontage on 7 lots. Scott Johnson, president of Arcon Development Inc., stated that the initial preliminary plat included 20 lots plus the animal hospital. He stated the animal hospital vas removed in the revised plat. Mr. Johnson stated that there is currently no plat on the property and Carol Street was established 20 years ago and is now detrimental to the development of the property, caking the lots along Carol Street vary small. The development seeks vacation of Carol Street and this issue was addressed in several neighborhood meetings. Hr. Johnson stated that the proposed lots meet lot size requirements and the location of the proposed cul-de-sac has the least impact on the trees, saving 834. He further stated the preliminary plat is in accordance with all regulations and requirements for drainage into the wetland - Fitz Lake. He concluded that he felt the proposed preliminary plat would blend well with the area. Doug Johnson, 4775 Dodd Road, expressed concern regarding heavy equipment traffic on Dodd Road. He stated that Dodd Road was not designed to hold heavy equipment traffic and such road has weight restrictions. Scott Johnson responded by stating that the proposed property has access from Highway 3 and he is agreeable to conditional approval of the preliminary plat on the developer accessing the property from Highway 3 and not Dodd Road. • Ann Johnson, 4775 Dodd Road, had concerns regarding the proposed development. Ids. Johnson invited City staff and Commission members to visit the area. Nancy Gustafson, 4822 Dodd Road, inquired with City staff whether the guide plan was adopted before the existence of Lebanon Regional Park. Community Development Director Reichert stated that she Page 17/EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES NOVEMBER 23, 1993 believed the park existed at the time the comprehensive guide plan was adopted. She further inquired as to whether the intersection of Dodd Road and Waterview Court could be controlled by 3 -way stop signs. City staff responded that that would be an issue to be addressed at a later date with the County. Stuart Weirke, 4675 Dodd Road, stated he lives north of the proposed subject property. He stated that financially he is not bothered by the proposed development but is concerned about the heavy equipment traffic on Dodd Road. Member Heyl inquired with City staff as to the meaning of condition 115. Assistant City Engineer foertsch explained that the financial obligations apply to the utilities within the boundaries of the development. Member Gorman stated that the issue of trunk connection charges needs to be addressed by the property owners with the City Council and the only issue is whether R-1 development is appropriate. He stated that R-1 is compatible with the area. Member Markley stated that he questioned the proposed development's compatibility and density. He stated that he favors less lots but acknowledges that the developer followed all standards and requirements. He suggested that the developer reexamine the proposed lot sizes. Scott Johnson replied by stating he wants to stay with the proposed preliminary plat. Member Markley stated that he would support the approval of the preliminary plat because it meets the standards. Member Wallace expressed concerns with the density, noting the lot sizes range from 12,000 to 15,000 sq. ft. Member Killer stated that he would like to see the developer work with the neighbors and that it may be 'more pleasing to the eye for larger lots' especially on the east portion of the site. Member Heyl stated that she would have to support the preliminary plat as proposed. Member Hoeft stated that the developer had meet the standards but be cannot support the proposed preliminary plat due to the lot sizes. Chairman Voracek asked Member Hoeft why his decision was not Page 1I jEAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES NOVEMBER 23, 1993 arbitrary to which Member Boeft responded his decision vas not arbitrary because: (1) area in which the proposed development is located is unique in character; (2) the existing area has 3-5 acre lots and the proposed lots would not be compatible; (3) the proposed development would require a transition; and (4) the area backs up to a park making it unique. Member Miller concurred with Member Hoeft. Member Markley questioned whether the east lots could be combined to increase lot size. Scott Johnson responded by stating that those lots are already wide lots, being greater than 100 feet. Be stated that he would sit down with City staff to see if there are "incentives" to increase lot sizes. Member Wallace inquired whether the developer's financial obligations include connection charges.. He raised issue with the developer's financial obligation for sewer and trunk charges totally approximately $12,000 and $15,000.00 respectively, whereas a property owner owning 5 acres would be charged approximately $15,000.00., • Chairman Voracek stated that based on that information property owners would be forced to subdivide. Beyl moved, Miller seconded, the motion to approve a Preliminary Plat consisting of 20 lots located along the east side of Dodd Road vest of Highway 3 in Section 36, subject to the following conditions: 1. These standard conditions of plat approval as adopted by Council action on February 2, 1993 shall be complied with: Al, 111, B2, 13, B4, Cl, C2, C3, Dl, 11, 71, Cl and El 2.

KV:cm cc: Marilyn Wucherpfennig, Planning Aide Ed Kirscht, Engineering Technician Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994 City Council Meeting AMENDMENT/LEXINGTON POINTE EIGHTH ADDITION B. Amendment, Condition #7 of Lexington Pointe Eighth Addition --Robert Engstrom is requesting the Council's approval of a modification of condition #7 of the Lexington Pointe Eighth Addition. The staff report on this item is enclosed on pages /5-)-tirrough/31, . The basic issue before the City Council is whether the substitution of a berm and landscaping is in place of the originally proposed landscaping and fence to create a gateway and safe barrier along the boulevard is a satisfactory substitution. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a modification of condition #7 of Lexington Pointe Eighth Addition. MEMO city of eagan TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: JIM STURM, CITY PLANNER DATE: APRIL 15, 1994 SUBJECT: CONDITION #7 LEXINGTON POINTE 8TH ADDITION INTRODUCTION The purpose of this memorandum is to address a request of the developers of the Lexington Pointe 8th and 9th Additions to eliminate condition #7 of plat approval that reads: 7. The Lexington Pointe Parkway shall include a 42" black chain link fence and a staggered design with gates and shall be landscaped. HISTORY OF LEXINGTON POINTE ADDITIONS Additions 1-7 of Lexington Pointe were previously zoned Community Shopping Center (CSC) within the Lexington South Planned Development prior to a Planned Development Amendment to R-1 and platting in 1987. At the March 3, 1987 City Council meeting, the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment, Planned Development Amendment, and Preliminary Plat were approved for Lexington Pointe 1st Addition containing approximately 25 acres and 61 lots. A condition of the Planned Development Amendment stated: "Rezoning of the additional 58 surrounding acres to be rezoned, with the understanding that provision be made for extending one of the two southerly roads westerly towards Lexington Avenue." This would include the entire area east of the north/south NSP Highline Corridor from Diffley Road to the park Highline Trail to the south. In May 1987, the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment and Planned Development Amendment were approved, along with a Preliminary Plat (Lexington Pointe 2nd Addition consisting of 169 lots). The lots were approved and range in size from 10,500 sq. ft. to 19,250 sq. ft., averaging 11,800 sq. ft. with a minimum lot width of 73'. Final Plats were processed over time and the last plat, Lexington Pointe 7th, received Final Plat approval on September 21, 1991. LEXINGTON POINTE 8TH ADDITION The overall Lexington Pointe 8th Addition consisting of 57 lots along the north side of Lexington Pointe Parkway and Lexington Pointe 9th Addition containing 24 lots along the south side received Final Plat approval on April 5, 1993. Robert Engstrom is representing the owner on the north side and Brad Swenson is the owner on the south side. It is unusual to have one Preliminary Plat final platted by separate parties. Lexington Pointe 10th Addition (32 lots) proposed by Mr. Engstrom will be north of the final platted Lexington Pointe 8th Addition. Current Situation/Original Approval Since the time of Preliminary Plat approval, the width of Lexington Pointe Parkway has not changed. The developers could have shown berming on the grading plans for the Final Plat if a change was desired. If there was an issue of having berming and the required fencing, it should have been dealt with and approved prior to Final Plat approval and the construction of the homes. Recently, the City's Engineering Department reviewed the revised asbuilt grading plans where berming was created and feel no drainage problems should occur. Double -fronted lots are discouraged by the City. The required fence was a way of providing safety for children and pets in those backyard areas. It would also eliminate the solid wall effect evident along some of the busier roads in the City or the "patchwork" effect when there are many styles and finishes. The City agreed to relocation of the trail along Lexington Pointe Parkway after Preliminary Plat approval, but before Final Plat approval. OPTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION Option 1: Remove the berming and provide the staggered black chain link fence with gates. Pros: Allows pedestrian lot access to Lexington Pointe Parkway. The staggered fence provides visual interest on a flat site. Fencing provides safety for children and pets. Cons: May promote pedestrian traffic through private yards. Less privacy for homes along Lexington Pointe Parkway. Option 2: Allow berming and require the staggered fence with gates. Pros: The berm provides more privacy. Fencing provides safety for children/pets. Allows pedestrian access to Lexington Pointe Parkway. l�3 Cons: A staggered fence on a berm will not have a uniform height. The gate would not be flush to the ground. It may promote pedestrian traffic through private yards. Option 3: Allow the berming/landscaping to remain with no fence (applicant's request). Pros: Berming provides privacy. Cons: Lack of safety for children and pets. May promote pedestrian traffic through private yards. Option 4: Allow berming with straight line fence with no gates. Pros: Uniform streetscape effect. Berming provides privacy. Provides security for adjacent yards. Discourages pedestrian traffic through private yards. Cons: No direct pedestrian access to Lexington Pointe Parkway. Option 5: Allow berming with straight line fence with gates. Pros: Berming provides privacy. Uniform fence height. Cons: Gates would break up smooth, uniform appearance of fence. May promote pedestrian traffic through private yards. SUMMARY • Since the time of Preliminary Plat approval, the road west of Lexington Pointe Parkway has not changed. • Double -fronted lots are discouraged by the City. • The applicants made changes to the approved grading plans in the field after Final Plat approval. • Berming/landscaping along double -fronted roads and busy roads provides interest to the passing pedestrians and motorists, as well as adding privacy to the adjacent lots. • Uniform fencing provides continuity through subdivisions and provides safety for adjacent lots. CONCLUSION The Council, in making a judgment whether to approve or deny a Preliminary Plat, must weigh many considerations related to the health, safety, and general welfare of the public. All of these are evident in some form with the five previously listed options, including: 1) The safety of the children/pets with double -fronted lots; 2) Privacy of adjacent property from Lexington Pointe Parkway; 3) Privacy to homes from potential pedestrian movements; and 4) aesthetics, including berming and landscaping. The most recent detailed landscaping plans were prepared for both sides of Lexington Pointe Parkway by the same landscape architect providing a strong, streetscape appearance, especially with having the same boulevard trees.

Grading Permit Application, Outlot A, Lexington Pointe 8th Addition --City staff has received an application to construct a "temporary" stockpile of excess material generated by the Lexington Pointe 8th & 10th Additions on this parcel which is located adjacent to and south of Diffley Road just east of Lexington Avenue. This property is ultimately zoned and planned for a commercial use. City staff has reservations about processing and approving this grading permit due to the open-ended duration of this "temporary" stockpile and the fact that it will appear to be a buffer of the new residential homes being built within the Lexington Pointe 10th Addition from County Road 30 (Diffley Road). Based on past experience, new homeowners will very likely strongly object to the removal of this "temporary" stockpile when this property is to be developed for commercial purposes thereby losing the privacy that was provided when they bought and built on their lot. A copy of the grading plan and typical cross-section details showing the relationship of the height of the berm to the new residential property and Diffley Road will be included as a part of the Additional Information Packet on Monday. City staff wanted to receive direction from the City Council before processing this grading permit.

ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the Airport Relations Committee recommendation with respect to the Part 150 sound insulation program. (c2 0 TO: MEMO city of eagan FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Background CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR REICHERT ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HOHENSTEIN APRIL 13, 1994 AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION - PART 150 SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM At its meeting of April 12, 1994, the Airport Relations Committee considered potential extension of the Part 150 Sound Insulation Program or Buyout Program to neighborhoods of the City which have recently become eligible for program participation. The neighborhoods are now eligible because of FAA approval of a revised, expanded noise exposure map submitted by the MAC in 1992. The City has participated in the Part 150 Sound Insulation Program since 1991. The original eligible area consisted of two blocks of homes in the Country Home Heights Addition near the intersection of Avalon and Burnside Avenues. To date, fifteen Eagan homes either are being or have been insulated under the program. The new contour incorporates another 160 homes in the Country Home Heights, Highview and McKee Additions and free standing homes along Lexington Avenue, Blue Gentian Road and Lawrence and Linde Lanes. Because certain residential areas now eligible for the program are guided for Commercial or Industrial land use, the Committee wished to consider whether improvements should be done which will extend the lives of those homes, whether the City should consider having the airport purchase and redevelop those areas or whether sound insulation is appropriate. If the City is to move ahead with either sound insulation or purchase of certain areas, the Committee also wanted to consider the criteria of selection as to which homes or areas would be done in what order. The FAA has recently indicated that it is no longer acceptable to select among eligible homeowners by lottery as Eagan has done in the past. H In 1994, the Part 150 Program allocates $749,550 to Eagan, which is sufficient to sound insulate forty-three homes or purchase approximately seven homes. The Committee has reviewed the Part 150 Program in detail as part of its implementation in the original eligible area. In addition, the Committee hosted an open house on March 7, 1994 at St. Thomas Becket Church. At that time, a questionnaire was circulated and returned regarding resident preferences concerning the purchase and buy out options. Results of that survey area attached. If sound insulation could be done in the short term or a purchase could be done in the long term, a majority of the respondents preferred insulation. Recommendation Public comment was accepted at Tuesday's meeting regarding resident preferences. In consideration of the comments and background information, the Committee is recommending: 1. That the Part 150 Sound Insulation Program be made available to all home owners eligible for the program under the revised Noise Exposure Contour. 2. In order of priority, that the criteria of selection among eligible homes be: a. Pre or Post 1978 Ownership - The Committee is recommending that the City continue its priority for residents who have lived in their homes since 1978 or before. Deregulation in that year dramatically changed the noise environment so people who purchased their homes before then did so under different conditions than those who purchased since then. b. Distance from Runway End - The Committee is recommending that homes be selected on the basis of proximity to the airport, since aircraft do not strictly follow corridor procedures and all homes eligible for the program receive direct overflights. c. Land Use - The Committee is recommending that homes which are guided for residential use be done first, areas not likely to be redeveloped privately (McKee Addition) second and free standing homes be done third. Applications would be evaluated by these criteria in priority order, such that pre -1978 owners would be done by distance from runway end and land use first then post -1978 owners by distance and land use. Since not all residents apply for the program initially, it is likely that there would be a mixture of each criteria in any given year. The Committee unanimously supported the sound insulation option. Almost all residents present did as well. There was considerable discussion on the part of the Committee and the public concerning whether land use, distance from the runway end or noise level should be given the higher priority. If there is any discussion from the public on Tuesday evening, I would expect it to be on this point. If the Council agrees with the sound insulation recommendation, the only remaining question is whether distance from runway end, land use or sound level is the second criteria. Any of the three is feasible. The public policy question is whether to insulate first those homes with the highest current noise exposure or the ones expected to be residential longest. Based on the funding projected to be available, all eligible homes can be insulated within four to five years, regardless of criteria. ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COUNCIL: To approve or deny the Airport Relations Committee recommendation that sound insulation be provided to the residential areas eligible under the Part 150 program under the criteria outlined above.

Advisory Planning Commission March 14, 1994 Dear Resident: This letter is a follow up to the Open House held on March 7 concerning airport noise and the airport's Part 150 Sound Abatement Program. The Airport Relations Committee would like to thank those of you who were able to attend or who mailed your questionnaires to the City. Enclosed is a list of the questions and comments which were returned. We have included answers to your questions so that everyone can have the same information. Your participation in this discussion is very important. The City has the opportunity to use federal funds to either sound insulate or purchase noise -impacted homes. The Airport Relations Committee's purpose is to deal with the noise problem in the best, most cost-effective way possible. This is an airport noise issue and not a redevelopment issue. The City will only ask the airport to acquire a neighborhood if no other alternative would serve the best interests of its residents. The Airport Relations Committee is reviewing the results of the survey and have begun discussions about next steps with respect to this program. The committee will meet on Tuesday, April 12, 1994 at 7:00 p.m. at the Eagan Municipal Center to accept public comment to be considered with the questionnaire responses. They are also expected to make a recommendation at that time which will go to the City Council. The meeting is open to the public and you are invited to attend. Again thank you for your attention to and participation in this matter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, J6in Hohenstein Assistant to the City Administrator Enc. PART 1S0 OPEN HOUSE QUESTIONS MARCH 7, 1994 1. Eov can flight patterns be changed? The volume of traffic at the airport today is three times what it was in 1978. That being the case, flight patterns cannot be changed to completely avoid the neighborhoods close to the airport. This volume of traffic results in a fanning of traffic from southern Mendota Heights neighborhoods all the way to northern Eagan neighborhoods. Regardless of flight tracks, the areas eligible for the Part 150 program will continue to receive high levels of noise. 2. (How would the airport go about the) purchasing of homes in 4 block area? If a decision were made to purchase the four block McKee Addition, the entire area would be purchased over a period of three to four years. The airport would request federal funding to cover the costs and would enter into negotiations with individual property owners to determine a fair market value for each home. Federal law requires that if property is to be purchased for public purposes, it is at its fair market value. If negotiations did not result in a sale for a particular property, condemnation proceedings would occur and each party would submit an appraisal to a panel which would determine the property's fair market value and award that to the homeowner. In addition, property owners would be entitled to a federally established relocation allowance of approximately $20,000. 3. If the majority of home owners want to sell, bow will that impact the remaining homes? If the City decides to ask the airport to buy a neighborhood, all homes in that neighborhood would be purchased because it would be unfair to the remaining neighbors, whether they wish to sell or not, to have parts of their neighborhood purchased and vacated while they are left behind. It would also be necessary if and when the area is to be redeveloped to have the entire area available. The City may decide to treat each neighborhood differently than the others however. 4. Ewe will insulating the home impact taxes? The sound insulation improvements may result in an increased valuation of the home for tax purposes. The City is exploring whether a program exists to abate the increase or limit it. The improvements themselves, which cost the resident nothing, average $15,000 to $20,000 and substantially reduce the indoor noise impact for the resident. It also tends to reduce energy costs because it improves the energy efficiency of the home. Unlike the purchase option, sound insulation is a completely voluntary program. Residents will need to determine for themselves whether the noise and energy value of the improvements is worth a potential increase in property taxes. 5. What is the budget per house and tax impact? (Revalue of house) See answer to $4. 6. sow are you going to insulate and when? When your home is selected for the sound insulation program, the airport will have an architect visit you at your home and prepare a design which takes into account the current condition and inside noise level of your house. Typically, the program involves many of the same things which are done for energy insulation: new windows and doors, storm windows, caulking, wall and attic insulation, modifications to vents and other openings in the house. If you do not have air conditioning, it will be provided in the program to allow you to keep your windows closed when you wish to. You will have the opportunity to review the architect's plan and you can approve it, ask for modifications or opt out of the program. Once you have approved the plan, it will be scheduled for bid and construction will be begun within the year. Construction will take four to eight weeks depending upon the plan approved by the owner. The airport's current funding allocation for Eagan will cover the sound insulation of approximately 30-40 homes per year. If funding remains constant and the City decides to sound insulate all of the homes eligible under the program, it will take four to five years to do them. The City uses a lottery to determine which houses are done each year. 7. Cost replacement on buyout? See answer to $2. S. sow soon (will a buyout occur)? If the City asks the airport to buy a neighborhood, it will take several years to get the separate grant funding necessary to do so. Once the funds are secured, the time necessary would depend on the size of the neighborhood. If the McKee Addition were to be purchased, it would likely take three to four years after the funding was received. 9. I would like to have explained exactly what soundproofing entails. See answer to $6. E�� 10. What does insulation require? What is the process? ]Tor long does it take? See answer to #6. - 11. Any post to us? There is no cost to the homeowner for the improvements associated with the plan they. approve for this program. If the homeowner wishes to do other remodeling work or upgrade their home at the same time, that cost must be covered by the homeowner. 12. Can airport or City buy us out if vs don't want to sell? See answer to #3. 13. When would we be informed of a buyout (month, year)? The City's Airport Relations Committee hopes to make a recommendation to the City Council yet this spring on the best approach for the area. If a decision is made to pursue a buyout in any of the areas, the City would work with the airport to attempt to identify the funding source and a timeline. An actual date to begin the purchase may not be known for several years, however. The City would maintain communication with the effected residents throughout that time to be sure that you can plan accordingly. 14. What areas would be bought out and in what order? The purpose of the open house and public discussion is to help the Airport Relations Committee develop recommendations to sound insulate or purchase. If a decision is made to purchase one or more neighborhoods, a recommendation will also be made as to the priority order for each. 15. Would it be a forced buyout or an optional sell? See answer to #3. 16. Why don't planes follow the SS corridor? See answer to #1. 17. What effect would a new airport in Dakota County have on our area? If a new airport were built near Hastings, the current airport would be closed and the noise impact from the new airport would be substantially less than you experience today. The current airport is three miles from the McKee Addition. The proposed airport would be fifteen miles from the McKee Addition. Sound insulation improvements would continue to be important in the near future, because a new airport would not be operational for about fifteen to twenty years. 18. will the insulating process stay the same (same procedures)? The process is not expected to change. See answer to #6. 19. Is the City going to upgrade the streets and sever system? The City will continue to monitor and prioritize streets and utilities for improvements. If the City decides to ask the airport to purchase an area, normal maintenance would continue until the buyout is complete. The City would not do major reconstruction if an area is scheduled to be purchased. 20. If the houses were purchased, would they buy a block at a time or would it be a checkerboard deal? See answer to O. .21. If they were insulated, would you have to live in it a certain length of time afterward before you could sell? No. 22. Weed more information on bow effective the sound insulation will be and if purchased, what the purchase price would be. Residents who have responded to the City's follow up questions about the sound insulation program have indicated a high level of satisfaction with the noise reductions. Information concerning the Sound Insulation Program Demonstration House in Richfield is included with this mailing. The Demonstration House has rooms sound insulated at three different levels for residents to view and is open weekdays for tours. For a description of the purchase process, see answer to 12. 23. How do you defend your stand on payment or choice of whom to pay in terms of equal compensation? If homes in an area are to be purchased, the law requires that a fair market value be paid as just compensation. The law prohibits equal compensation because not all properties are equally valued. The choice of whether to purchase an area or not will be based on the City's understanding of the public good of each option. The City will consider a number of factors including the responses of the residents, the nature and extent of the noise impact, whether the area is likely to be redeveloped to a more noise compatible use by private interests and so on. 24. Why invest when or if you are going to lose it and never recover the losses? To minimize the time of uncertainty about this matter, the City intends to make a decision in this regard yet this spring. If sound insulation is identified for an area, it will be assumed that the properties will remain residential for the foreseeable future and residents would want to maintain and invest accordingly. If a purchase option is identified for an area, the airport and City will work to set out a timeline and expectations as soon as possible to allow residents to plan accordingly. 25. If you insulate today, what guarantee is there you will not purchase tomorrow? Or won't you be throwing away your. insulation money if you have to purchase at a later time? To answer the second question first, it would be inappropriate to invest in the improvement of a property if it is likely to be purchased for redevelopment in the near future. That is why it is important to discuss whether a purchase option makes sense in the near future before moving ahead with insulation. If a private purchase is not likely within the near future, it makes sense to improve the indoor noise environment of the homes. The City has no specific redevelopment plans for the areas eligible for the Part 150 funding. The only reason the City would consider asking the airport to purchase an area at this time would be to alleviate the noise impact on residents. 26. Actual timeframes for both plans. See answers to #6 and #8. 27. Process for insulation and any caps in spending for McKee Addition or is it set up in terms of current home improvements? There is an annual allocation to the City of Eagan from the airport and the typical sound insulation project costs between $15,000 and $20,000. There is no cap for any of the eligible areas, but the costs of insulating each home will determine how many homes can be done in a year and how quickly the airport can insulate all eligible homes. See answer to #6. 28. Buyout issues. See answers above. 29. When decision will be finalized. See answers to $6, $8 and #13. 30. Row soon rill the MAC action happen? See answers to #6, #8 and #13. 31. Why insulate the houses as we can not enjoy our yards from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at all every day all summer? Sound insulation will only improve the indoor noise environment. It will not change a person's ability to enjoy their yard. Insulation is done so that at least the part of someone's property that can be improved is improved. Metropolitan Airports Commission SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM OFFICE AND DEMONSTRATION HOUSE The Sound Insulation Program Office and Demonstration House is located at 6314 Standish Avenue South in Richfield near the end of one of the airport's busiest runways. The home is owned by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) and will be used by the Center for Energy and the Urban Environment (CEDE) as the program office. Three rooms have been sound insulated, with one of these rooms designed to be a 'quiet room'. The rest of the home was left as is. People are able to walk from room to room and compare the different sound levels. The Demonstration House office phone is 348-9337. The Demonstration House visitor hours are: Monday - Friday 9:00 - 4:30 Please call 348-9337 before stopping in, so we can have staff available for you. Location ""4'77Z iii►' RICHFIELD CP ;r::.r,,e iwr Principles of sound insulation Noise enters a house in two ways: Information Program Office 348-9337 MAC 726-8100 1) Noise is airborne. Open windows are obvious examples, but noise can enter through even the smallest cracks. Acoustical caulks, sealants and special weatherstripping keep the new windows, doors walls and ceilings very tight. Air conditioning ducts have been baffled. A House Doctor crew has tested the house to make sure there is adequate ventilation. 2) Noise is structure -borne. Sound will cause a structure to vibrate. This vibration will transfer the sound directly through a wall or roof, albeit in a diminished manner. Added mass in the form of additional sheetrock and acoustical windows with thicker panes of glass have been added to the acoustically treated rooms. This extra weight makes it harder for a wall or window to vibrated and pass noise through. 3) To make the transfer of structure -borne noise even more difficult, additional space between panes of glass and discontinuous construction (where a new wall and ceiling, separated by a gap, is built adjacent to tJ existing structure) are featured in the dining "quite" room. �'1 SOUND INSULATION ZOWNSTAMS" } • 1 CLIntianota mwszvviat v _ j S6ATF1 f"1 .MASTER TKDRaoM • GMT R ©oar TDDcr MCDU@DEE The rTr 1T aliorl Nouse Ms +h/tee rooks th:+ have been .sound The rest of +he house has not had cpec;a l Co u sfi'ca I WOR dare but S}j II provides Round 29 d BA CA wei9t,4ed decibels- closest fv I7um-40 hearzi') ndrse level reduchbv PRom +h2 f me'ZSURed outside.

My house at 2799 Linde Lane is a duplex. Due to severe aircraft noise, it has been almost impossible to rent. At one time, it was empty for 5 months. When tenants do move in, they only stay a very short time because of the severe noise problem. This has been very costly due to rent loss. I tried to sell, but no one was interested because of the proximity to the airport with all the noise. Keep airplanes over 494. My biggest concern is that I would be forced to sell my house. I think that with proper noise insulation and soundproofing, the majority of the problems could be solved. It's not that bad where a person would need to sell! The winter months noise is not bad at all. It would be nice if the "corridor" was built in stone and that EPA restrictions insofar as noise is concerned were adhered to. Cannot use phone in spring and fall. Can't air house. I have never called or written to complain about airplane noise. I have lived on my property since July 1960. In the 60's, it was very noisy because of propeller -type engines. At that time, airplanes did not gain altitude as fast so house and contents shook. I wish ut to sound insulate, but eventually to sell my home when I can get a buyer. And really, I don't want to sell. I am 68 years old and I know I will definitely be out within 5-10 years. Safety. concerns. Condition of street related to buyout. I think it is urgent that something be done to the McKee Addition. I believe a buyout is the smarter choice considering the age of the neighborhood, but whichever is decided, it must be done soon. You must also consider that when the older residents in the area pass away, who is going to want to purchase the house knowing about the noise problem? I also want to say that insulating is sort of like putting a bandaid on the problem. It's not a good long-term solution because it does not help you if you're outside in your yard during the summer playing with your children or what have you. People can't be expected to have their homes closed up all spring, summer and fall and never open the windows to let the breeze blow in, especially with the rising cost of electricity and the value of conserving our resources. How can you justify all the electricity used to run central air units in 130 homes just in my neighborhood 150 days a year, year after year after year. COMMENTS (page 2) I would like you to ask: If the buyout vas implemented that if they could make it a speedy buyout because people's living is being affected by this. They want to fix their house up and keep it up, but why should they if they are waiting for a buyout? Affects television and phones. Wakes us up, etc. Windows and cupboards rattle. Items move and fall off shelves at times. We can't hear on telephone when planes fly over. There are times we cannot speak and be heard in a normal voice due to air traffic. Family members have not come to visit due to the noise. We can't sit outside in the summer when it is so hot in the house. No AC, so windows have to remain open. I see no point in insulating. The main impact of aircraft noise is that it prevents us from using our yard. This is a lovely, peaceful neighborhood except for the noise. Many of us do lots of walking and gardening (with our hands over our ears). If money is going to be spent, first priority should be buying out the elderly people who want to go, but can't afford anything comparable in a less noisy area. They bought their homes before they had any inkling that there would be a noise problem. The rest of us knew (at least partly) what we were getting into. Should have much lower assessed value on homes due to noise. My tax value is much too high. Nobody in right mind would pay assessed value with noise present. Our neighborhood is victim to excessive airport noise due to our being surrounded on all sides by commercial property. This noise is sometimes so bad, one cannot hear one think. The planes are so close to my home, you can read the number on the plane itself. We are planning to sell our home in the future and will certainly have to overcome the noise factors to potential purchasers. Therefore, I feel we are at a loss not only on a daily basis, but also on a long-term financial basis. I would like them to purchase our home at a price we deem fair to the value. Insulating will only help the problem when you are inside. When you are outside playing with your children, the noise is so loud, you can't hear them laugh. What effect does this have on children's hearing? Let's get this resolved as soon as possible. This land is more valuable than the homes. Good location for airport parking lot. I bet it would be filled daily. Shuttle buses could go to airport and back for a small fee. This location is bad for homes. We are sitting in the middle of an industrial park and right under flight path. Couldn't get any worse. Leave the airport where it is. I have lived here for 39 years and I don't mind the planes. CO)O ZNTS (page 3) I get jet fuel scum on my picture windows the planes come so low over our house. We are in line with the main runway and sometimes I vision an object falling off the plane right into the house. In summary, I would be in favor of supporting the buyout. I've owned the home since 1974 and believe it's long past due to accomplish this. We purchased this home in Sept. of 1072 and have lived with this nuisance since. We want to have our home insulated the next year or two or ASAP. With windows closed there isn't too much problem. Then in this area if it isn't airplanes, it's trucks one after the other as you let the industry build all around us. Actually McKee area should be industry only. I'm NEFICRokciUM __city of lagan TO: CHAIR RING AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMITTEE FROM: ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HOHENSTEIN DATE: JANUARY S, 1994 SUBJECT: PART 150 LAND USE PROGRAM SOUND ABATEMENT ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMERCIAL-INDIJSTRtAL GUIDED PROPERTIES The purpose of this memo is to frame the discussion of the aircraft noise, :land use compatibility options for properties guided to be commercial -industrial in Eagan's Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. Uttimately, this Issue will also need to be considered by the City's Advisory Planning Commission. Due to the nature of the ARC and Its relationship with the funding sources which might be available for the various options discussed, the issue is being brought before the Committee first. This is not a simple issue and, therefore, it is anticipated that this discussion will take a number of meetings to resolve. Despite this, MAC deadlines and other priorities may require that the Committee and City take interim positions on aspects of this issue while working to resolve it in general. Background The City of Eagan anticipates that a broader area of the City will become eligible for Part 150 Noise Compatibility Funding during 1994 when the FAA approves an expanded 65- DNL contour submitted by the MAC. A copy of the revised contour is attached. This expansion will result in the addition of five residential areas to the program that have commercial or industrial Comprehensive Plan designations. These areas are denoted on the attached Zoning Map and Comprehensive Guide Map. Enlargements of the individual areas are also attached. Previously, the City determined to confine its Part 150 Program to sound insulation of eligible homes because the costs of property acquisition were beyond the short-term resources of the program. Since that time, three factors have changed. The MAC's Part 150 Grant has been funded at higher levels than the initial year of the program. The City's proportion of the grant has increased due to a modification of the MAC's funding formula. In addition, the City of Richfield was successful in working with the MAC to request additional federal funds for the purchase of the New Ford Town neighborhood, thus broadening the potential funding sources for other attematives. Before moving forward with sound insulation of the five areas identified, ft appears appropriate to revisit this policy issue and consider all aspects of any decision on the City's approach to the area. Part 15Q Land Use Compatibility Alternatives • The three attematives currently included in the MAC Part 150 application are: 1) Sound Insulation, 2) Purchase Assurance and 3) Acquisition. Descriptions of each are attached. The cities eligible to participate in the program are Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington, Mendota Heights and Eagan. To staff's knowledge, none of the cities in the MAC program are currently using the purchase assurance option. All of the cities are using the sound insulation option. Mendota Heights and Bloomington have expressed interest in exploring acquisition of certain properties and Richfield is pursuing acquisition through other funding sources as noted above. All of the programs are available anywhere within the eligible contour, ilthough the FAA generally discourages the higher cost acquisition alternatives at the outer edges of the 65 DNL contour. This fact should not preclude the discussion of potential acquisition in fight of the unique characteristics of each of the areas in Eagan, but it is an issue to consider. pritpli.pris of Areas The five eligible areas in Eagan which are guided for commercial -industrial uses vary from free standing homes to clusters of large lots to the 108 lot McKee Addition. Their age also varies, but typically they are of a 1950.60's vintage construction. Some of the free standing homes are somewhat older. The properties tend to be well maintained. Most are served by City utilities, although some maintain well and septic systems. Due to the age and type of housing and the noise and development environment of the area, many of the homes tend to offer affordable housing opportunities to younger families and senior. fixed-income households. 1. Area 1, (Pilot Knob Road north of Avalon Avenue) consisting of two single family homes on medium sized lots flanking a gift shop across Pilot Knob Road from the Eagandale Business Campus. Noise Considerations - This area les within the 65 DNL contour and is the closest of the five areas to the 70 DNL contour. it is approximately two miles from the runway end and is adjacent to the extended runway centerline of Runway 11 R/29L ft receives noise impacts from both arrivals and departures. Runway 11 R/29L is also the primary runway for night-time operations. l� � Land Use Considerations • Both properties are zoned Agricultural (A). They are bounded to the east, west and north by property zoned for Commercial Planned Developments (PD). Highview Acres subdivision to the south is zoned Single Family (R-1). The Lost Spur Country Club lies to the west as well. One of the homes is eurrentiy for sale and the other is a rental property belonging to an adjacent home owner. The scale of the property Is smaller and probably less complex than the other areas under review. One possible redevelopment scenario would be to incorporate the property into the Wyndham Corporate Center PD, although no activity has occurred on this property since the Wyndham Gardens Hotel discontinued its project for the site. 2. Arae 2 (Lexington Avenue between Lone Oak Road and Hwy 55) consisting of eight single family homes in two clusters on either side of Knox Lumber. Lots in the area vary in size ranging from medium to large. Noise Considerations -This area lies between the southeast edge and the middle of the 65 DNL contour. it is approximately three miles from the runway end and is under and between the extended runway centerlines of the parallel 11/29 runways. it receives noise impacts from both arrivals and departures. Runway 11 R/29L is the primary runway for night-time operations. Land Use Considerations - Seven of the properties are zoned Agricultural (A) and one is zoned Light Industrial (U). The southerty duster is bounded on all sides by Light industrial (LI) and Commercial Planned Development (PD) uses. The northerly cluster is bounded by Light Industrial (U) the McKee Addition (R-1) which is Area 3 and i•35E. Knox Lumber (U) lies between the two. Lot 2, Block 1 Eagandale Center Industrial Park No. 10 Addition wraps around the southerly duster and includes a large pond and one or more smaller wetlands. As a consequence of limited access to the site from Lone Oak Road and Lexington Avenue, It would appear that any redevelopment of these properties would need to be considered together with the surrounding lot Even without incorporation of Lot 2, It appears that the only feasible redevelopment of the area is the combination of all four of the parcels in this duster. An additional factor in the southern duster is Dakota County's need to acquire a portion of the property for the 1994 upgrade of the Lone Oak Road -Lexington Avenue intersection. The County Highway Department has made a preliminary contact with the City to gauge interest in acquisition of the entire property for noise purposes, potentially changing the economics of the project cost for the road improvement. The northerly duster is irregular and triangular In shape with a significant area of potentially excess I -35E right of way on the west side. if It Is to be redeveloped, ft may be worthwhile to attempt to acquire and combine this part of the ROW into the parcel to give It a more developable configuration. Despite their similarity of circumstance and location, the two dusters are not directly dependent upon one another for redevelopment and will obviously develop as two separate uses whenever that occurs. 3. (McKee Addition) - consists of a five block, 106 single family home subdivision dating back to the 1950's and 1960's. While It Is actually three subdivisions, It functions as a single, Integral neighborhood. The typical home In the area Is a single level with two or three bedrooms and a detached garage. Lots In the area range from 10,000 to 11,000 square feet. Noise Considerations - This area lies at the end, near the middle of the 65 DNL contour. ft Is approximately three miles from the runway end and is under and between the extended runway centerlines of the parallel 11/29 runways. ft receives noise impacts from both arrivals and departures. Runway 11 R/29L is the primary runway for nighttime operations. Land Use Considerations - The McKee Addition Is zoned Single Family Residential (R-1). The area is bounded on all sides by Light industrial (Li) and Commercial Planned Development (PD) uses, with the exception of the western edge which is partially bounded by the northerly duster of Area 2 which is zoned Agricultural (A). The McKee Addition is the largest of the five areas under review, comprising just over 30 acres. If it were to be acquired and redeveloped, It appears that a commitment should be made to do It in total as there is no logical means of dividing the area. At this size, however, It offers significant flexibility for potential redevelopment. . The most significant challenge to redevelopment would probably be that few Individual users require this much property. As a consequence, the City and the MAC may need to pursue a public-private partnership with a private development firm or request proposals for development of a multiple user project as Is being done with the Metropolitan Center property. • 4. Area 4 (Kolofskrs Plat at Hwy 55 and Lawrence Lane) consists of fire single family homes on medium to large lots near the former Airliner Motel. Noise Considerations • This area Res at the eastern edge near the middle of the 65 DNL contour. ft is approximately three and one•hatf miles from the runway end and is under the extended runway centerline of Runway 11L/29R. ft receives noise impacts from both arrivals and departures. Land Use Considerations » The area Is zoned Commercial Planned Development (PD) and is Included in the larger Robins Planned Development which takes up much of the property between )45E, 1-494, Hwy 55 and Hwy 149. The PD does not have • current specific development plan. However, k has been discussed in the past as a location for retail or office uses to take advantage of the freeway intersection visibility. Despite Its visibility, however, access to the site from the Interstates Is not obvious which may present • challenge to hs future development. Despite Its inclusion In this PD, k appears that the homes have not been acquired by the Robins interests and that individuals still own them. The area is surrounded on the north, east and west by the remainder of the PD. The property south, across Hwy 55, is zoned Light Industrial (Ll). The obvious redevelopment scenario in this case would be to incorporate the ownership of the sites under the Robins PD either before or at the time that development moves forward for the overall site. 5. Mel (Blue Gentian Road north of Hwy 55) consists of eleven single famity homes on large lots immediately above the intersection I -35E and I- 494. Noise Considerations - This area lies near the middle of the 65 DNL contour. ft is approximately three miles from the runway end and is under the extended runway centerline of Runway 11L/29R. ft receives noise impacts from both arrivals and departures. Land Use Considerations - The portion of the area north of Blue Gentian Road is zoned Single Family Residential (R-1), while the portion south of the road is zoned Agricultural (A). Like the McKee Addition, the area tends to function as a neighborhood, although It does not have the same scale and numbers of homes. The area Is adjacent to the Robins Planned Development which takes up much of the property between 1-35E, 1-494, Hwy 55 and Hwy 149. As noted above, this PD does not have a current specific development plan, although retail or office uses have been discussed in the past. Again, an obvious redevelopment scenario would be to Incorporate the ownership of the sites under the Robins PD either before or at the time that development moves forward for the overall site. The area is strategically located at the high point of the property above the intersection and offers the best potential visibility for the overall site from the interstates. If It were not incorporated into a masterplan for the area, It would probably develop at a less intense level than the remainder of the site and, as a consequence, may be underutilized. Costs of Redevelopment Staff has yet to undertake a detailed analysis of property values In the area. Any analysis will also be affected to the extent that some property owners may pursue premiums above the residential value of properties due to their potential reuse for commercial or Industrial purposes. Not all of the acquisition costs are unrecoverable, however. By way of example, If a typical home in the McKee Addition were to sell for $70,000, standard federal relocation assistance of $22,500 would make the cost of acquisition $92,500 per home. At 108 homes, the total cost of acquisition would be approximately $10 million for the entire addition. An exact estimate of the cost of preparing the property for redevelopment is not available at this time. As a comparison, however, the City of Bloomington is estimating that demolition, relocation, administration and contingency costs for 77 homes would be $4.3 million or $56,000 per home. Using the same multiplier would add approximately $6 million, bringing the total cost of acquiring the McKee Addition and preparing it for sale to $16 million. At current market rates, the resale value of the thirty-one acres would be one dollar per square foot or $1.35 million. This amount could be recaptured to lower the net cost of the acquisition or it could be reallocated for other acquisition or sound -insulation projects under Eagan's Part 150 Program. Available_ Funds The current MAC funding formula gives each of the five eligible cities under the Part 150 Program free percent of the annual grant total as a base with the remainder spread among the cities on the basis of the number of eligible households. Eagan has 2.1 percent of the total homes. Together with the base, this equates to 6.57 percent of the annual grant total. In 1994, the MAC submitted an application for approximately $10 million. Of this, Eagan's portion would be $657,000. In recent meetings, the FAA indicated that the MAC should anticipate a grant award similar to that in 1993 which was roughly $4 million, of which Eagan's portion would be $262,800. While either amount is substantially above the $110,000 received in the first year of the program, k would still take a significant number of years to make substantial headway on acquisition of the largest areas. If areas are to be acquired, 8 is apparent that Part 150 funds can only leverage a fraction of the overall cost. It may be necessary to approach the MAC as Richfield and Bloomington have done concerning a separate grant process to provide additional funds for this purpose. It may be possible to acquire the smaller areas In a reasonable period with Part 150 funds, however, If the McKee Addition could be acquired under a separate grant. Conversely, If It is determined to move forward with sound insulation of the 150 total Eagan homes eligible under the 1996 contour, k will take four to ten years at the proposed funding levels to complete the project Policy Issues The policy issues associated with this matter vary. Some relate to the properties generally and others will relate to the individual circumstances of each area. ft may be that the City will differentiate between the circumstances and apply one approach in one area and another in others. ft may also prioritize the areas on the basis of circumstance or feasibility. The task before the Committee and ultimately the Planning Commission is to provide an analysis and options for Council consideration in this regard. 1. lmpa= on Future Redevelopment - The primary issue is whether it is prudent to invest in capital improvements in residential uses that are anticipated to become commercial or industrial in the long run. Any sound insulation of properties will tend to extend their Gvves and will likely make their ultimate cost of acquisition higher when private or public efforts to redevelop them do occur. This is complicated by the time frame within which any redevelopment may occur. If it is in the distant future, the investment now may have an incidental impact on the ultimate cost. 2. Nature of Improvements - The time frame of redevelopment also bears on the human element. Many of the residents of these properties have lived with noise as a nuisance for a substantial period of time. Either relocation or sound insulation will assist these people. Relocation does so permanently, while insulation incrementally improves the luring conditions inside the home. 3. Long -Term Noise Exposure • Mother issue relates to the expectations of the City with respect to the impact of a quiet generation Stage III fleet after the year 2000. Is It perceived that the area of severe impact will shrink sufficiently to make some or all of the identified areas more liveable? 4. Social Impacts • It is also important to consider whether the dislocation associated with accelerated redevelopment is worth the effort. Acquisition of entire areas has social and human impacts beyond the obvious financial ones. Do the benefits of converting some or all of these areas to commercial use justify all of the costs? 5. Affordable Housing • Should the areas be maintained in their present or an improved state to provide affordable housing options? 6. Pirate Bedevelop. mere - Mother Issue is the relative likelihood that areas will ultimately convert to their guided use without public participation. It could be argued that some of the smaller areas which are adjacent to larger proposed developments could be amity Incorporated into those developments. In the case of Area 4, this is already the case. A single large subdivision, such as the McKee Addition probably will never redevelop without public participation. is It therefore prudent to consider it now rather than later? 7. market Environment • The current state of the commercial -industrial real estate market must also be considered. While the MAC could clear and hold the property until development pressures make it financially feasible to sell it, the property would be off of the tax roles in the Interim. M addition, It would compete with other available undeveloped property, meaning that the public benefit needs to justify the competition with the market 8. Noise Exposure • Ultimately, the issue also relates to the perceived seriousness of the impact in the area and whether it is appropriate to permit residential uses to be maintained in areas of that level of noise exposure. S. Other Imperatives - Do circumstances such as the County's interest in acquiring property for the County road improvement project affect the priorities in this regard? 10. Other • The list above is preliminary and may be expanded or modified on the basis of discussions of this matter. Summary As noted at the outset, this memorandum Is intended to frame and initiate the discussion of this issue. It identifies the areas in question, their characteristics, the resources available and the general policy questions apparent at the present time. Additional Information will be provided as necessary and as requested.

PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: APPLICANT: REQUEST: LOCATION: COMP. PLAN: ZONING: April 12, 1994 Terry MacDonald MacDonald Autoworks, Inc. Special Use Permit Lot 4, Block 1 Barton McGray Addition 3955 Cedarview Drive GB - General Business GB - General Business CASE #: 19 -SP -4-4-94 HEARING DATE: April 19, 1994 PREPARED BY: Kim Eggers SUMMARY OF REQUEST Mr. Terry MacDonald has applied for a Special Use Permit in order to hold a Monster Truck Car Crush for the grand opening of MacDonald Autoworks, Inc. (formerly Motec). The site for the proposed activity is located between Cedarvale Boulevard and Cedarview Drive. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Eagan City Code Section 11.40, Subd. 7B states that "The Council shall review petitions for special permits at its next meeting. Approvals by the Council may include special conditions related thereto." BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting permission of the Eagan City Council to hold a Car Crush, an event in conjunction with the grand opening of MacDonald Autoworks, Inc. (formerly Motec) on April 30 and May 1. The Monster Truck Car Crush would take place for in the early afternoon for 1 1/2 hours on each day of the grand opening. The applicant is proposing to contain the Car Crush within the public right-of-way in the rectangular grassy area bordered by Cedarview Drive and Cedarvale Boulevard in front of MacDonald Autoworks. The applicant has proposed blocking off a portion of Cedarview Drive and Cedarvale Boulevard to allow for standing room for spectators. The Police Department has concerns about blocking off Cedarvale Boulevard, due to the fact that it is a main access to Nichols Road. The applicant has stated that no business accesses will be blocked. (3 SAFETY ISSUES This proposal raises many safety issues, all of which Mr. MacDonald and Staff have attempted to address. These concerns and their resolutions are outlined below: Spectators - A roped off area will be provided for spectators in the Cedarview Drive and Cedarvale Boulevard right-of-ways. Mr. MacDonald will provide an insurance rider to the City for personal and property liability. The spectators will be kept approximately 73' from the car crush area on the Cedarview Drive side of the event, and 84' from the area on the Cedarvale Boulevard side. No spectators will be allowed at either end of the Monster truck area. "Crushed " cars - No glass or plastic lenses will be contained on or in the automobiles to be crushed. All fluids will be completely drained from the vehicles, and the gas tanks will also be removed. Monster truck - Clean -Up - Security - Noise - The Monster truck has a remote shut-off switch that is run by a separate operator than the person driving the truck. The Monster truck can be shut off immediately if needed. The Monster truck and driver are both certified for safety by the Monster Truck Racing Authority. Car removal will be completed within 24 hours of the final event on May 1. AAA will be removing the vehicles. Clean-up of the grounds will also be completed within 24 hours of the event by MacDonald Autoworks, Inc. Turf and other restoration of the Monster truck area will be complete one week from the final day of the event. MacDonald Autoworks,Inc. will provide volunteer security for the spectator area. The Monster Truck is fairly loud. Since the actual event is taking place for 30-45 minutes once on a Saturday and once on a Sunday in the afternoons, the noise will hopefully not be a problem. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this Special Use Permit, subject to the following conditions: 1. The permit is temporary and will be valid only on April 30 and May 1, 1994. 2. Car removal and clean-up of the area will take place within 24 hours of May 1, 1994. 3. Restoration of the area will take place before May 9, 1994. 9 `K 4. The City will be provided with an adequate and acceptable insurance rider by April 22 to cover the personal and property liability of spectators in City right-of-way. 5. Detours and rerouting of traffic will need to be executed in accordance with the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic ControleApplicant. es.

Special Use Permit/Shows License, Gopher State Expositions, Inc., to allow carnival rides, games and food concessions May 5 - 8, 1994, on the westerly portion of the VValmart parking lot located on Lot 1, Block 1, Town Centre 70 11th Addition in the northwest quarter of Section 15 --Gopher State Expositions is requesting a special use permit to conduct a carnival on the westernmost portion of the Walmart parking lot adjacent to Town Centre Drive on May 5-8, 1994. The staff report on this request is enclosed on pages A �f througl�70( / As noted in the staff report, Walmart has not been operating in conformance with conditions of its plat approval and general zoning ordinance. Because the carnival is an independent operation of Walmart, we do not feel that conditioning this special use permit with requirements to clean up the outdoor storage operation will be very effective; however, staff would suggest that the Council make some oral statement at the Council meeting Tuesday night directing staff to take appropriate enforcement actions to correct the situation. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a special use permit for Gopher State Expositions to allow carnival rides, games and food concessions on May 5-8, 1994 in the westerly portion of the Walmart parking lot located on Lot 1, Block 1, Town Centre 70 11th Addition in the northwest quarter of Section 15 subject to the conditions in the staff report. PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: APRIL 11, 1994 CASE #: 15 -SP -3-3-94 APPLICANT: GOPHER STATE EXPOSITIONS HEARING DATE: APRIL 19, 1994 PROPERTY OWNER: WAL-MART PREPARED BY: MIKE RIDLEY REQUEST: SPECIAL USE PERMIT LOCATION: 1360 TOWN CENTRE DRIVE NW 1/4 SECTION 15 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: CSC, COMMUNITY SHOPPING CENTER ZONING: CSC, COMMUNITY SHOPPING CENTER SUMMARY OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit to allow carnival rides/games and food to be sold May 5-8, 1994 on the western -most portion of the Wal-Mart parking lot adjacent to Town Centre Drive. BACKGROUND The same portion of Wal -Mart's parking lot was used most recently for the Boy Scout christmas tree sale event in 1993. Gopher State Expositions (GSE) has been in business for over 25 years. All rides and food concessions are inspected and licensed by the state of Minnesota. GSE holds carnivals from late spring to mid -fall throughout the state in shopping center parking lots and county fairs. The proposed carnival is independent of Wal-Mart with the only affiliation being a lease agreement. However, as a point of information, staff has been attempting to work with Wal-Mart regarding outdoor storage inside and outside of the enclosed "garden center" on the south end of the building. Since January 1994, staff has twice informed Wal-Mart management orally that outdoor storage of shopping carts violates a condition of plat approval; outdoor storage of dumpsters, bailed cardboard bundles, and shipping containers behind the building violates the City's Outdoor Storage Ordinance; and storage of non -garden items within the wrought iron fenced area is not consistent with the approved garden use. /7 To date, Wal-Mart management has failed to cooperate with these requirements. Staff will provide Wal-Mart written notification summarizing the non -conforming conditions and outlining a time line for the store to take corrective measures. REVIEW The proposed carnival will occupy the westerly 1/4 of the Wal-Mart parking lot and should not impact internal circulation and all drive aisles to the store will remain clear. Staff recommends that trash generated by this event be collected and hauled away daily. The carnival event will include approximately 18 rides, 12 games, and four food concessions all of which will be operating daily from Thursday, May 5 through Sunday, May 8 between loam and 10pm. Set up will begin May 3rd and tear-down/cleanup will be completed May 9th. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this Special Use Permit subject to the following conditions: 1. This permit is temporary and will expire May 9, 1994. 2. All proposed signage must meet City Sign Code requirements and be approved by staff. 3. Trash shall be collected and hauled away daily. 311N3A11 )1111111IN3O Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994 City Council Meeting REZONING/PRELIMINARY PLAT/VARIANCES LUNDGREN BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION/ROONEY ADDITION E.

The Advisory Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this proposed rezoning and preliminary plat at its meeting of March 22, 1994. The staff report a^nd fanning Commission minutes on these items are enclosed on pages through_)55. The Advisory Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning and the preliminary plat subject to the conditions set forth in their minutes. Brian Olson, a representative of Lundgren Brothers Construction, Inc., had concerns about two conditions on the preliminary plat related to grading and easements around the pond. Mr. Olson has worked out these issues with City staff and we have agreed to the following modifications of the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission: Condition #1 has been modified to eliminate standard condition B-4. Condition #5 has been modified to read as, "An emergency overflow outlot for the wetland located adjacent to proposed Lots 5-9 in the north central portion of the site shall be provided at elevation 897.2 which is the high water level of the wetland." Condition #7 - The bottom of the proposed retaining wall shall be constructed a minimum of one foot above the high water level of the wetland. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a rezoning from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Single -Family) and a preliminary plat for Lundgren Brothers Construction for the Rooney Addition consisting of 18 single-family lots and one outlot on ten acres and variances to the minimum required lot width for eight lots, Lots 5-7 and 10-14 and a front setback for all lots located along the north side of Diffley Road, east of Blueberry Lane in the southeast quarter of Section 22 subject to the conditions recommended by the Advisory Planning Commission as modified by subsequent analysis and consultation between the applicant and City staff regarding Conditions 1, 5 and 7.. da PLANNING REPORT CITY OF EAGAN REPORT DATE: MARCH 10, 1994 CASE #: 22 -PP -22-7-93 APPLICANT: LUNDGREN BROS. CONST. INC. HEARING DATE: MARCH 22, 1994 PROPERTY OWNER THOMAS ROONEY PREPARED BY: MIKE RIDLEY REQUEST: REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, VARIANCES LOCATION: 1235 DIFFLEY ROAD - SE 1/4 OF SECT. 22 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: D -I SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (0-3 UNIT/ACRE) ZONING: AGRICULTURAL (A) SUMMARY OF REQUEST Lundgren Brothers Construction, Inc. is requesting a Rezoning of 10.84 acres from A to R-1, Single Family, a Preliminary Plat for 18 single family lots, a Variance to the 500' maximum cul-de-sac length, a Variance to the 50' minimum lot width requirement for lots 5-7, 10-14 to allow the use of shared private drives and a 5' Variance to the required 30' front yard setback for all lots to allow flexibility with house placement. The property is located north of Diffley Road, east of Hilltop Estates, south of Patrick Eagan park and west of Tony Caponi's property which is zoned agricultural. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 13, Section 13.20, Subd. 6. states: In the case of platting, the Planning Commission and the Council shall be guided by criteria, including the following, in approving, denying or establishing conditions related thereto: A. That the proposed subdivision does comply with applicable City Code provisions and the Comprehensive Guide Plan. B. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision complies with applicable plans of Dakota County, State of Minnesota, or the Metropolitan Council. ��3 Planning Report - Rooney Addition March 22, 1994 Page 2 C. That the physical characteristics of the site including, but not limited to, topography, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, water storage, and retention are such that the site is suitable for the type of development or use contemplated. D. That the site physically is suitable for the proposed density of development. E. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause environmental damage. F. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause health problems. G. That the design of the subdivision or the improvements will not conflict with easements of record or with easements established by judgement of court. H. That completion of the proposed development of the subdivision can be completed in a timely manner so as not to cause an economic burden upon the City for maintenance, repayment of bonds or similar burden. I. That the subdivision has been properly planned for possible solar energ system use within the subdivision or as it relates to adjacent property. (Refer to City Handbook on Solar Access). J. That the design of public improvements for the subdivision is compatible and consistent with the platting or approved preliminary plat on adjacent lands. K. That the subdivision is in compliance with those standards set forth in that certain document entitled "City of Eagan Water Quality Management Plan for the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Organization" which document is properly approved and filed with the office of the City Clerk hereinafter referred to as the "Water Quality Management Plan". Said document and all of the notations, references and other information contained therein shall have the same force and effect as if fully set down herein and is hereby made a part of this Chapter by reference and incorporated herein as fully as if set forth herein at length. It shall be the responsibility of the City Clerk to maintain the Water Quality Management Plan and make the same available to the public. Planning Report - Rooney Addition March 22, 1994 Page 3 BACKGROUND/HISTORY There have been no previous development applications associated with this property. A home was built on the site before the city/township kept such records. The home was destroyed by fire in August of 1990. EXISTING CONDITIONS The trees near the area cleared for home construction sustained fire damage and the foundation of the home still remains The property owner has had two underground fuel oil tanks removed. The remainder of the site topography is heavily wooded and contains slopes that range from moderate to severe. There is also a depression that contains a small wetland (identified as an inland shallow fresh marsh) in the northwestern portion of the property. SURROUNDING USES The following uses, zoning and comprehensive plan designations surround the subject property: North - Patrick Eagan park; zoned PK; designated P, Parks. South - Undeveloped; zoned A; designated P, Parks. East - Hilltop Estates; zoned R-1, designated D -I SF Residential (0-3 units/ac). West - Undeveloped; zoned A; designated P, Parks EVALUATION OF REQUEST A. Rezoning Review. Rezoning this property to R-1 is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan designation of D -I. The single family land use is compatible with the surrounding land uses. B. Preliminary Plat Review. Density - The gross density of the development is 1.66 units/acre which is consistent with the D -I designation and the requested rezoning to R-1. Planning Report - Rooney Addition March 22, 1994 Page 4 Lots - All proposed lots meet the 12,000 s.f. minimum lot size requirement. The lots range in size from 13,313 to 31,978 s.f., with an average lot size of 20,688 s.f. The applicant is requesting a variance to the 50' minimum lot width requirement for Iots 5-7, 10-14. This variance will allow the use of shared private drives for the lots listed. This design was employed to minimize grading and the resulting tree loss. The remaining lots meet the R-1 lot width requirements. Setbacks, The applicant is requesting a variance of 5' to the 30' minimum front building setback for all lots. The reduced setback is being sought to provide more flexibility for house placement on individual lots. Depending on the specific lot and house floor plan this reduced setback may or may not be necessary. Planning Report - Rooney Addition March 22, 1994 Page 3 Tree Preservation Policy - The Tree Preservation Plan submitted is acceptable, no replacement trees are necessary. According to the Plan there are 407 significant trees on site. The applicant anticipates tree loss of 18.2% with the initial development phase for grading, street and utility construction. The Policy allows up to 25% tree loss without replacement for initial development. Impact to trees due to home construction will he 19.7% which results in a combined tree loss of 37.9% from start to finish which results in 258 significant trees being saved. In addition to platting the property, Lundgren Brothers Construction will also he the sole builder within the development. This is an unusual situation and as such, the developer requested, at the March 14, 1994 Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resource Commission (APRNRC) meeting, that the commission allow the 20% maximum tree loss during the home construction phase to be reviewed overall versus the established individual lot by lot review. The APRNRC did not directly address the issue however a workshop session will be scheduled prior to the April APRNRC meeting. Grading - With minor revisions, the Grading Plan submitted is acceptable. There is an existing wetland on the north edge of this site that is identified as an inland shallow fresh marsh of approximately 0.33 acres. No draining or filling of the wetland is proposed by the developer. An emergency overflow outlet shall be provided at elevation 897.2 which is the high water level of the wetland. The emergency overflow will discharge in a northeasterly direction into Patrick Eagan park. The overflow elevation shall provide 3' of freeboard from the lowest entry level of the houses adjacent to the wetland. 0 Planning Report - Rooney Addition March 22, 1994 Pages The preliminary grading plan shows that a retaining wall will be constructed along the southwest corner of the wetland. The development shall submit detailed plans and specifications covering the construction of the retaining wall with the final grading plans. The bottom of the retaining wall shall be a minimum of 3 feet above the high water level of the wetland which is shown to be elevation 897.2. The proposed retaining wall is shown to be approximately 90 feet long and will have a maximum height of 5 feet. The existing foundation for a house is located in the center of the site and is proposed to be removed and the area filled to the proposed grade. The development will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards. Appropriate erosion control measures shall be maintained around the edge of the wetland to protect the wetland from erosion during construction of the streets, utilities and houses. Storm Drainage/Water Ouality - The Storm Drainage and Water Quality Plans submitted are acceptable. The northerly two-thirds of this site will convey its storm water runoff to an existing storm sewer line along the east property line of the Rooney Addition. The existing storm sewer line discharges into Pond JP -8.1 which is located in Patrick Eagan Park. Pond JP -8.1 and the existing storm sewer line were sized to handle the storm water runoff from this development. Pond JP -8.1 was constructed under City Project #607 with the Diffley Road upgrading to treat storm water runoff from the Diffley Road project. Pond JP -8.1 discharges into Pond JP -8 which is classified as a scenic recreation waterbody. Storm water runoff from the southerly one-third of the development will drain overland to the south to the Diffley Road storm sewer system that drains westerly to Pond LP -63. Pond LP -63 is a nutrient basin located just north of Diffley Road. The outlet for this pond discharges to another nutrient basin before outletting into Carlson Lake Because the water discharging to the north will be treated in Pond JP -8.1 and the area draining to the south will be treated by an existing nutrient trap, staff is recommending a water quality cash dedication for the development. Because water discharged from the site will be treated by existing ponds/nutrient traps the APRNRC is recommending a cash water quality dedication. -Dc7 Planning Report - Rooney Addition March 22, 1994 Page 6 Utilities - With minor revisions, the Utility Plan submitted is acceptable. Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth has been provided to this development from an existing 8" sanitary sewer in Diffley Road that was constructed in 1993 under City Project #607. The preliminary utility plan shows extending an 8" sanitary sewer from Diffley Road to the north in the proposed street to serve this development. The proposed houses on Lots 9,10 and 11 will need a privately maintained pump in each house in the basement levels to pump the sanitary sewer flow up to the first floor. Then a gravity sanitary sewer system will be constructed to serve the first floor. Watermain of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is available to serve this development from an existing 12" trunk watermain that was constructed in Diffley Road in 1993. To improve fire protection to Lot 6, a 6" water line with a hydrant on the north end of the line will need to be extended off of the street along the private drive. The hydrant shall be located to allow fire protection to be provided to Lot 6 with a maximum radius of 300 feet. Access/Street Design - With minor revisions to the private street design, the Street Plan submitted is acceptable. A single public street access is provided to the site from Diffley Road at a point predetermined by Dakota County as part of the 1993 Diffley Road construction project. The developer is requesting a variance of 200' to allow a 700' cul-de- sac street. All lots will be served by a public cul-de-sac street, although several lots will have access to the cul-de-sac via a shared private drive. Eagan Fire Marshal, Dale Wegleitner, has reviewed and approved the proposed design. No lot will take direct access to Diffley Road. The 3 sections of private street shall be constructed with bituminous surfacing to a minimum width of 20 feet. Easements/Right-of-Way/Permits - The development shall provide an easement over the wetland up to 3' above the high water level of the wetland. Also, the development shall provide an easement over the overland drainage swale that serves as the outlet for the wetland as it drains across Lot 7. The development will be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA, Minnesota Dept. of Health, MWCC, Dakota County Highway Dept., etc.) are obtained prior to final plat approval. Parkas and Recreation - Berry Patch is the nearest neighborhood park and Patrick Eagan is the nearest community park. The APRNRC recommends a cash park land and cash trail dedication. (--Dc/3 Planning Report - Rooney Addition March 22, 1994 Page 7 C. Compatibility with Surrounding Area. The proposal is a site sensitive, low density single family development that appears to be compatible with both existing and future land uses in the general area. D. Summary/Conclusion: Rezoning .• The rezoning request is consistent with Comprehensive Guide designation for this property in particular, and the single family land use is suitable to the area in general. Preliminary Plat - Due to topography and the large amount of mature oak trees on this site, staff encouraged a creative design that would preserve much of the natural amenities, yet still be economically feasible. Revisions to the site plan over the past few months which has resulted in fewer lots, less site disturbance and tree loss mitigation. RECOMMENDATION Rezoning - Staff recommends approval of the Rezoning. Preliminary Plat - Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat subject to the the following conditions: 1. These standard conditions of plat approval as adopted by Council action on February 2, 1993, shall be complied with: Al, Bl, B2,B3,B4,Cl, C2,C3,D1,El, and Hl. 2.

SPRING PREVIEW 1994 BROCHURE (7;2_72 (77 I. INTRODUCTION The developer and home builder of the Rooney property is Lundgren Bros. Construction, Inc. a Minnesota Corporation located in Wayzata, Minnesota. The Lundgren Bros. tradition has been synonymous with quality neighborhoods and house construction throughout the Metropolitan Area for 24 years. The purpose of this application is to provide the Eagan City Council, Planing Commission and stair with details of the proposed single family neighborhood development and subsequently to obtain the following approvals: A. Rezoning from A, Agriculture to R-1, Single Family and P, Public Park. B. Preliminary Plat for 18 lots, two outlots and road R.O.W. C. Variance from the minimum front yard setback of 30 feet to 25 feet for 9 of the 18 proposed lots. II. ]PRESENT OWNERSHIP The property is currently owned by Thomas J. and Barbara J. Rooney, 7031 24th Street N., Oakdale, MN 55128. IIL (DEVELOPMENT TEAM Engineering , Surveying Pioneer Engineering, Inc., Mendota Heights, MN and Wetland Biological Analysis Market Analysis Conhaim & Associates, Minneapolis, MN Environmental Audit Schoell & Madson, Inc., Minnetonka, MN Soils Engineer Braun Intertec Engineering, Inc., Apple Valley, MN IV. GENERAL STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT A. Location This proposed development is located in the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 22 in the City of Eagan, Minnesota. The property consists of 10.84 acres and is accessed by Diffley Road from the south. Patrick Eagan Park is adjacent to the property to the north. B. Legal Description The property involved is legally described as follows. The West quarter of the Southeast quarter of Section 22, Township 27, Range 23, Dakota County, Minnesota, except the North 1911.13 feet thereof. C. Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan The property is currently guided D -I, Single Family Residential (0-3 units/acre) along with the adjacent properties to the west, south and east. The property to the north is guided Public Park. No change to the Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan is proposed. D. Rezoning The property is currently zoned A, Agriculture. Existing zoning surrounding the parcel includes R-1, Single Family to the west, Public Park to the north, Agriculture to the east and Agriculture to the south across Diffley Road. The proposed zoning of the Rooney property is P, Public Park for Outlot A with the balance proposed for R-1, Single Family Residential. E. Preliminary Plat This project consists of a total of 18 single family lots, two outlots and road right- of-way to be developed on 10.84 acres. The minimum lot size proposed is 113,313 square feet with an overall average lot size of 20,688 square feet. The largest lot is shown to be 31,978 square feet. The neighbor (Johnson's) to the west of Outlot B has landscaping that encroaches into the Rooney property. All of the encroachments have been located within Outlot B. Outlot B will be deeded to the Johnson's so that they can retain their landscaping. The lots will be developed to match the site with a choice of custom homes. Each home will have a minimum two -car garage with a major emphasis placed on two story homes with walkout basements, where existing topography allows.

Variance Lundgren Bros. is proposing that all 18 lots have a reduced front yard setback from 30 feet to 25 feet. This request, if approved, would allow greater flexibility in locating the proposed dwellings on the lot resulting in less tree removal. Variances are also proposed for eight lots to allow less than 50 feet of frontage along a public street R.O.W. The proposed frontage of the lots are: Lot 5 = 20.02 feet Lot 6=0feet Lot 7 = 26.40 feet Lot 10=0feet Lot 1 1 = 20.11 feet Lot 12 = 48.76 feet Lot 13 = 47.22 feet Lot 14 = 21.07 feet This request, if approved, also would allow greater flexibility in the design of the plat resulting in less tree removal. G. Design Considerations As is often the case, the ultimate design of a project such as this is directed and impacted by a number of issues. Such things as topography, soils, wetlands and woodlands can create opportunities or present limitations to the development of the land. Access, utility service availability can, to a certain degree, dictate how a parcel of land will be designed. The following items have all been considered in the design development phase of this project. 1. Topography/Soils. This property consists of two high level areas in the southwest and southeast corners of the property and drops to a lower elevation to the north. There is a difference of 48 feet in elevation between the high and low points on the property. The majority of the site drains to an existing pond along the property's north boundary. The soils are classified as Kingsley sandy loam and Kingsley-Mahtomedi Complex. These soils are generally good for home and street construction due to their excellent drainage characteristics and relatively low frost heave quality. 2. Trees Roughly 90 percent of the property is covered with oak (red and white) woodlands interspersed with other species such as birch, black cherry, maple, cottonwood, boxelder, ironwood, spruce and elm. The challenge to develop within woodlands was to provide access and home sites while reducing grading and the associated loss of trees. The public road and shared private drives have been laid out to respond to the topography and offer the opportunity to preserve the greatest number of trees possible. For this reason, the wooded lots will not be graded. Only the proposed right-of- way for public street and utility easement areas will be site graded and the homes and shared private drives will be custom fitted into the woods. Lundgren Broshas revised the development plans many times since City Staff first reviewed layouts in Sentiment of 1993. Significant Tree Impact Summary Number of Significant Trees 407 Tree Loss Due to Grading, Street and 70 18.2% Utility Construction Tree Loss Due to Home Construction 79 19.7% Total 149 37.8% Trees Preserved 258 62.1% In February 1994, Lundgren Bros and Mr. Gregg Hove, Supervisor of Forestry for the City of Eagan, toured a number of existing forested developments by Lundgren Bros. Some of these developments have been completed about ten years ago. These developments show excellent examples of how to custom fit roads, homes and driveways in forested areas. 3. Shared Private Driveways. Six of the 18 proposed lots are shown to have shared private driveways The lots shown to have these shared drives are Lots 5, 6, 9, 10, 13 and 14. The amount of land area for public streets has been reduced by having the shared driveways, which in turn, resulted in greater tree preservation. Easement agreements and covenant agreements dealing with access and maintenance of the shared driveways will be recorded on the affected lots. 4. Public Utilities Sanitary sewer and watermain are located at the proposed road entrance at Diffley Road. Storm sewer is located within Outlot A along the east property. The sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer were all installed in 1993 as part of the Diffley Road construction project and are the appropriate size to serve the needs of the proposed development. 5. City Park Land Outlot A is proposed to be rezoned to Public Park. A pathway will be built within Outlot A which will provide a park access to Patrick Eagan Park from the pathway along the north side of Diffley Road. v 19,335 sq. ft. easement rights have already been purchased by the City and/or County within Outlot A. City staff have requested that 2,883 additional square feet be a part of Outlot A. Therefore, Lundgren Bros. should receive credit for 2,883 sq. ft. of additional land that will be dedicated to the City for Patrick Eagan Park. 6. Market/Lundgren Image As discussed earlier, the Lundgren Bros. image has been synonymous with quality neighborhoods for 24 years. Their projects are highlighted by wooded home sites, curving streets, spacious entries and quality construction. Home buyers have come to expect these in a Lundgren development and this project will be no exception. The project will offer a wide range of single family lots, sizes and locations to accommodate an equally wide range of housing styles and prices. 7. Neighborhood Meeting Lundgren Bros. held a neighborhood meeting, at the Dakota Hills Middle School on November 16, 1993. All property owners (approximately 29) within 350 feet from the development boundary were invited to the meeting. The purpose of the neighborhood meeting is to introduce Lundgren Bros. to the neighbors along with presenting the details of the proposed development and receiving comments back from the neighbors. This is a company policy of Lundgren Brosand has proven to create a better understanding of the City approval process, neighborhood concerns and the Lundgren Bros. development philosophy. The neighbors that attended this meeting were: Alan Menning Tom Udelhoven Lynne Johnson Dan Osborn 4174 Blueberry Circle 4118 Blueberry Lane 4162 Blueberry Circle 4158 Blueberry Circle There were no negative comments or responses to the proposed development from these neighbors. N. CONCLUSION Lundgren Bros. is pleased to submit this proposed planned residential neighborhood development for your review and consideration. We are new to the City of Eagan as a developer and we are excited to offer this opportunity to your community. X31 Page 8/EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 ROONEY ADDITION - LUNDGREN BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION Chairman Voracek opened the next public hearing of the evening regarding a Rezoning of ten acres from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Single Family) and a Preliminary Plat consisting of 18 single family lots and one outlot on ten acres and Variances to the minimum required lot width for eight lots (Lots 5-7 and 10-14) and the front setback for all lots located along the north side of Diffley Road, east of Blueberry Lane, in the SE 1/4 of Section 22. Project Planner Ridley introduced this item. He advised that the applicant is requesting a rezoning of 10.4 acres from Agricultural to R-1 and a preliminary plat for 18 single family lots. Mr. Ridley further stated that the applicant is requesting three variances: (1) a variance from the 500 foot maximum cul-de-sac length to allow a 700 foot cul-de-sac; (2) a variance from the 50 foot minimum lot width requirement for Lots 5-7 and 10-14; and (3) a variance to the required 30 foot front yard setback to a 25 foot front yard setback. Mr. Ridley stated that the subject property is currently zoned Agricultural and is designated D -I under the Comprehensive Guide Plan. He explained that the property is surrounded by the Patrick Eagan park to the north; undeveloped, agriculturally zoned property to the south; Hilltop Estates to the east; and undeveloped, agriculturally zoned property to the west. Mr. Ridley stated the proposed development is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan and the surrounding uses. He further explained that there would be a single access from the development by a single cul-de-sac serving all lots. He advised that City staff recommends approval subject to those conditions listed in the report in addition to an added condition that a cul-de-sac easement be executed and recorded with the Dakota County Recorder's Office. Member Segal inquired as to whether the 500 foot cul-de-sac length is a Code requirement. Project Planner Ridley responded in the affirmative but noted that the fire marshal inspected and approved the requested variance. Mr. Ridley further explained that the 500 foot cul-de-sac requirement was originally adopted for public safety concerns, noting that it took into consideration fire apparatus access and mobility within cul-de-sacs. Mr. Ridley stated that today such concerns no longer exist. Member Segal inquired as to the reasons for the setback variances, requesting the applicant to advise the Commission as to the hardships they will suffer without the variance. Community Development Director Reichert stated that City staff has been working Page 9/EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 with the developer for a long time to make the proposed development an environmentally sound project. She further noted that the proposed property is unique and that the setback variances are requested in order to preserve and save trees on individual lots. She stated that the proposed cul-de-sac street would be a curving roadway, thereby the issue of uniformity, for which setback requirements are required, are not an issue. Brian Olson, a representative of Lundgren Brothers Construction, Inc., stated that this proposed development was first submitted in November 1993. He further stated that the applicant has spent an extensive amount of time with City staff in making this project work and that there are many complex details involved. Mr. Olson stated that the reason for the cul-de-sac length variance was to enable the utilization of all the land, explaining that the additional 200 feet was necessary to serve all the potentially available lots on the property. Mr. Olson stated the reasons for the setback and lot width variances was to give the developer flexibility in placing the house on the lot in order to save as many trees as possible. He noted that he worked a great deal with the City forester to accomplish this end. He further noted that not all the lots may require a variance from the 30 foot setback requirement due to the type of home built upon each lot and therefore some lots may even have a 35 front building setback. Mr. Olson stated that at this time, without any knowledge as to the type or kind of home to be built upon each lot, a variance is required in order to give the homebuilder flexibility in the building of a home on each lot. Mr. Olson stated his objections to the following staff recommended conditions for the following reasons: (1) condition #1-B4 citing that a ponding easement three feet above the high water level will encroach upon the housing pad of some of the surrounding lots; and (2) condition #7 for the same reasons cited for his opposition to condition #1-B4. Mr. Olson, however, stated that he is convinced that his concerns regarding these two conditions can be resolved by working with City staff before this item appears before the City Council. Mr. Olson stated that these concerns may be resolved by the developer by putting in fill around the pond up to the three feet requirement but acknowledges that this course of action may require the removal of more trees than desired. In response to Chairman Voracek's inquiry, Mr. Olson clarified that the applicant is not requesting the Commission to change the conditions but only notes his concern for the record. c7,23 Page 10/EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 Member Segal stated that he is "troubled" with approving a "blanket" variance for all lots without a showing of hardship for each individual lot. The applicant stated that in the absence of a variance for each lot, there would be a hardship on the prospective homebuyer/builder if required to request a variance prior to buying the lot and building a house. Mr. Olson further stated that requiring individual variances for each lot would also be cumbersome on the City. Chairman Voracek stated that he viewed the subject property, noting it is heavily wooded and has severe terrain. He stated that it is his belief that a mere five foot setback variance is well worth the effort to grant a "blanket" variance. He concluded by stating his support for approval of the variance in an effort to save as many trees on the subject property as possible. Member Segal suggested that he would support the variance for all the lots if a condition was added that required the developer, at the time of requesting the building permit, to show a need of a five foot variance for that particular lot. Member Wallace stated that the objective of the Commission has been to preserve trees and noted that the developer had done a lot of work with the City to further that objective. Chairman Voracek stated that the objective of a setback requirement is not furthered here, stating that setback requirements are to further uniformity in location of houses which is not an issue in this matter because the street curves requiring no lineal uniformity. Member Miller concurred with Chairman Voracek. Member Isberg suggested that condition #3 be amended to provide that the setback variance is for the purpose of saving trees. Member Heyl responded that Member Isberg's suggested amendment need not be added to the condition. Miller moved, Wallace seconded, the motion to approve a Rezoning of ten acres from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Single Family) located along the north side of Diffley Road, east of Blueberry Lane, in the SE 1/4 of Section 22. All present voted in favor. Page 11/EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 Miller moved, Wallace seconded, the motion to approve a Preliminary Plat consisting of 18 single family lots and one outlot on ten acres and Variances to the minimum required lot width for eight lots (Lots 5-7 and 10-14) and the front setback for all lots located along the north side of Diffley Road, east of Blueberry Lane, in the SE 1/4 of Section 22, subject to the following conditions: 1. These standard conditions of plat approval as adopted by Council action on February 2, 1993, shall be complied with: Al, Si, B2, B3, B4, Cl, C2, C3, D1, El and H1 2. A variance to the minimum lot width for Lots 5-7 and 10-14. 3. A variance of 5' to the front building setback for all lots is for the purpose of saving trees. 4. A variance of 200' to the maximum allowed cul-de-sac length. 5. An emergency overflow outlet for the wetland located adjacent to proposed Lots 5-9 in the north central portion of the site shall be provided at elevation 897.2 which is the high water level of the wetland. 6. The development shall submit detailed plans and specifications covering the construction of the retaining wall with the final grading plans. 7. The bottom of the proposed retaining wall shall be constructed a minimum of 3 feet above the high water level of the wetland. 8. A cash water quality dedication. 9. To improve fire protection to the proposed house on Lot 6, a hydrant shall be located along the private street in Lot 5. 10. Proposed Lots 9, 10 and 11 will require privately purchased, installed and maintained sewage lift pumps to service all home levels below a 904 elevation. 11. The private streets shall be a minimum of 20 feet wide. 12. A cash park land and cash trails dedication. 13. Private street easements shall be submitted to the City Attorney's office prior to final plat approval, with appropriate documentation recorded with the plat. All present voted in favor. Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994 City Council Meeting REZONING/MARELL INC. F. Rezoning, Mare11 Inc., of 30.1 acres from A (Agricultural) and R-4 (Multiple) to R-1 (Single Family) located along the south side of Lone Oak Road, north of Highway 55 in the northeast quarter of Section 12--Marell Inc. has requested approval of a rezoning of 30.1 acres from R-4 (multiple) and A (agricultural) to R-1 (single family) located south of Lone Oak Road and north of Highway 55, immediately adjacent to Inver Grove Heights in the northeast quarter of Section 12. The Advisory Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this request at its meeting of March 22, 1994. The applicant also had submitted an accompanying preliminary plat consisting of 62 lots and one outlot on the property. The minutes of the Planning ommission meeting and the staff report on this item are enclosed on pages.?, throug This rezoning request will be a matter for potential heated debate at the City Council meeting because the Advisory Planning Commission and staff have recommended denial of the rezoning to R-1. In addition, the City's Airport Relations Committee had recommended that the rezoning be denied as had the City's Advisory Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission. The appropriate use of this property has been an issue before the City Council on two occasions in the past and the appropriate future use has never been fully resolved. The property was originally zoned R-4 in 1969. The rest of the property bounded by Lone Oak and Trunk Highway 55 is still zoned agricultural and is very sparsely developed with low density single-family housing. Clearly, the residents have been opposed to the prospect of multi -family development on this parcel. In general, they have been opposed to any type of additional development in the past because they like the area as it is now. Staff and the Planning Commission recommended denial of the rezoning of R-1 based on the following reasons: 1. Suitability --The steep topography and heavily wooded nature of the property is not suitable for standard R-1 single family development. 2. Airport noise --The parcel is located in Zone IV of the airport noise impact area and as such, single family residential development is considered a "conditional use." The City's Airport Relations Committee strongly discourages additional residential development within Eagan in Zone IV. 3. Neighborhood parks --The site is isolated by two major thoroughfares and Inver Grove Heights to the east from any existing or planned neighborhood park. In the long run, the APRNRC does not see a sufficient future residential population anticipated north of Trunk Highway 55 to warrant the provision, operation and maintenance of a separate neighborhood park. This was the position of the Advisory Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission. a3� Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994 City Council Meeting 4. Access --As R-1 single family development, this parcel would require access to both the north (Lone Oak) and the south (Trunk Highway 55). MnDOT does not want to see direct local access from this site to Trunk Highway 55. MnDOT would like to see a frontage road developed parallel to Trunk Highway 55 that would then provide very limited consolidated access at one or two points along this stretch of the road. City staff concurs with this objective. The development of the single family parcel at this time provides the option for provision of such a frontage road in the future, but would not be provided now. Because the rezoning was recommended for denial, the preliminary plat was not considered by the Planning Commission. If the City Council approves the rezoning, the preliminary plat can then be moved back to the Planning Commission for its consideration. The developer for Marell Inc. feels very strongly that this rezoning should be approved. They have submitted an additional letter dated April 13, 1994 written by their consultant, Michael J. Gair. Mr. Gair takes issue with many things in the staff report as well as the process that has occurred over the past several months. From the staff's perspective, we have tried all along to raise concerns and give the applicant an opportunity to address and resolve these concerns. Staff also did not come to its conclusions and recommendations lightly, but did so after evaluating the concerns very carefully and giving the applicant an opportunity to address the concerns and hopefully, resolve them. We do not feel that it is appropriate for staff to tell people no the first day they walk into the office. We try to work with applicants to resolve issues as best we can. In this instance, we did not feel that all the issues that have been raised were satisfactorily resolved. We did not communicate this conclusion simply in a staff report. City Administrator Hedges and Community Development Reichert met with representatives of Marell Inc. prior to completing the staff report to convey the conclusions and recommendation of the staff. This staff recommendation was also discussed at a Department Head meeting and was the joint conclusion and recommendation of the entire City Administration. Nevertheless, the rezoning is a policy decision for the City Council to decide. City staff, Advisory Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission, Advisory Planning Commission and Airport Relations Committee are all advisory agents to the City Council. One final consideration, if the City Council decides that a rezoning to R-1 is not appropriate for this property, there is the question of what is the appropriate zoning. R-4 does not seem to be appropriate either. Previous studies have suggested that this entire area would be more appropriately developed as research and development or light industrial in the long run. In the short run, however, it is working well as a very low density residential area, much like the land immediately to the east in Inver Grove Heights. Agricultural zoning in Eagan is really a holding zone or interim use albeit for perhaps a very long period of time. c)2 Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994 City Council Meeting The Council could consider rezoning the property agricultural which would allow some minor development of the property residentially in five acre lots. We have checked the assessment records on this property and it was assessed for sanitary sewer tnink and stormsewer. The stormsewer rate was at the R-4 rate, which is somewhat higher than R-1 or A (Agricultural) ($37,000 versus $35,000). The property owner has been paying off assessments so there would probably need to be some minor adjustment and potential refunding of previous assessments paid if the City were to initiate a rezoning to agricultural. An alternative would be for the City to establish a new zoning district which would be a very large lot, no utility district such as they have in Inver Grove Heights with either 5 or 10 acres minimum lot sizes. The current agricultural zoning designation does provide for this type of development, however. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a rezoning of 30.1 acres from A (Agricultural) and R-4 (Multiple) to R-1 (Single Family) located along the south side of Lone Oak Road, north of Highway 55, in the northeast quarter of Section 12.

That the subdivision is in compliance with those standards set forth in that certain document entitled "City of Eagan Water Quality Management Plan for the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Organization" which document is properly approved and filed with the office of the City Clerk hereinafter referred to as the "Water Quality Management Plan". Said document and all of the notations, references and other information contained therein shall have the same force and effect as if fully set down herein and is hereby made a part of this Chapter by reference and incorporated herein as fully as if set forth herein at length. It shall be the responsibility of the City Clerk to maintain the Water Quality Management Plan and make the same available to the public. BACKGROUND This property has been zoned R-4 since 1969. A 1988 study of the entire 105 acre area south of Lone Oak Road and north of Highway 55 was conducted because of inquiries regarding commercial and/or industrial development for portions of the area. It evaluated three alternative land use plans using a) limited business uses with residential uses, b) limited business uses with limited industrial uses, and c) mixed commercial uses with limited industrial uses. The area was again studied by the City as part of the Multifamily Residential Land Use Study prepared in 1990. Planning Report - Lone Oak Forest March 22, 1994 Page 3 Both the 1988 study and 1990 the Multi Family Residential Study concluded that the existing D -II residential land use designation is inappropriate. Written correspondence from the owner of the property at that time indicated they were not opposed to the change in land use from residential to some form of commercial/industrial, and that comm./industrial land uses which would be compatible with surrounding uses is the most appropriate guide for future development. The City Council considered a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment (for the entire 105 acre site) in. October 1990 to change the land use designation to a mixture of commercial and office light industrial (see minutes Exhibit A). The current residents expressed concerns about their taxes being increased if the Guide Plan were to change. Due to these concerns the proposed guide plan amendment was denied. The appropriate future land use for the entire triangle of property bounded by Lone Oak on the north and TH 55 on the south was left unresolved. EXISTING CONDITIONS • The site is characterized by rolling terrain and steep grades with low areas adjacent to Highway 55. Scattered groupings of dense vegetation occur throughout the site. • The proposed site is located between Lone Oak Road (County Road #28) and State Highway 55 to the south. • Two existing homes west of the site share access from Highway 55. This existing access is the proposed southerly access for the development. s Two homes are located east of the site in Inver Grove Heights on Lone Oak Road and a small manufacturing company is located east on Highway 55. • A 40' wide pipeline easement angles across the site approximately halfway between Lone Oak Road and Highway #55. • The proposed plat is located within Aircraft Noise Zone IV as identified in the Metropolitan Development Guide. Planning Report - Lone Oak Forest March 22, 1994 Page 4 SURROUNDING USES The following uses, zoning and comprehensive plan designations surround the subject property. North - vacant; zoned Planned Development - PD; designated CPD. South - vacant & Bur Oak Hills Addition; zoned A & R-1; designated D -I. East - Eagan/Inver Grove Heights corporate boundary; zoned A 10 acre minimum size. and I- Industrial; designated A until utilities are available then R -II (0-3 units acre) when utilities are available. West - scattered, unplatted, single family homes; zoned A; designated D -II. EVALUATION OF REQUESTS A. Review of Rezoning Request. In considering the advisability of rezoning this 30 acre parcel from R-4 to R-1, several factors should be considered, including topography, relationship to surrounding area, potential for a true residential neighborhood to evolve in the area, the impact of airport noise and access. The entire land triangle bounded by Lone Oak on the north, Trunk Highway 55 on the south, and Inver Grove Heights to the east is characterized by a fairly rugged topography, with a ridge line running east to west through the middle. The land is currently developed with very scattered large lot residences. Several property owners are not presently interested in selling their land for development which precludes developing the area in a unified manner at this time. The entire triangle of land is isolated by major roadways from the residential neighborhood south of Trunk Highway 55 and the industrial/office park north of Lone Oak. To the east, the land in Inver Grove Heights is outside the metropolitan urban service area and will likely remain for many years in the future. Inver Grove Heights has zoned this area for very low density rural residential use, although a small light industrial use was permitted to develop just east of the subject parcel. The isolated nature of this entire, relatively small land triangle makes provision of neighborhood park services very difficult. There are no plans to provide a neighborhood park for the limited potential residential area that could, under the best of circumstances, develop eventually. This was in part the basis for the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommending that the rezoning and preliminary plat be denied. 0.?4,c)— Planning Report - Lone Oak Forest March 22, 1994 Page 5 A small commercial node has been proposed for the western end of the land triangle and is currently under consideration as part of the Commercial Land Use Study. If this commercial proposal is accepted by the City, the residential neighborhood potential of the triangle would be further restricted. The impact of airport noise is another factor affecting the advisability of single family residential use of this parcel as well as the entire land triangle. The subject parcel is located in the Aircraft Noise Zone IV established by the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council has advised local governments to evaluate proposed residential development in Zone IV as a "conditional" land use. The level of interior noise exposure in Zone IV may be mitigated to acceptable levels through insulation and building construction techniques. However, negative impacts of noise on outdoor activities associated with the typical single family residential lifestyle cannot be mitigated. Eagan has, therefore, attempted to discourage low density residential development within the Zone IV area to the extent possible through zoning and subdivision controls. The Airport Relations Committee has been in the process of reviewing the Met Councils's Policy guidelines (see attached memo dated March 11, 1994 for specifics of guidelines) as it relates to land use compatibility within the zones. The Committee, at its February 8, 1994 meeting reiterated their position of strongly discouraging residential development within the noise zones in the future. At its March 8, 1994 the Committee recommended to the Advisory Planning Commission and the City Council that the guidelines be formally adopted as a policy of the City for consideration of development plans within the noise zone. Finally, as will be further detailed in the evaluation of the proposed Preliminary Plat, access to this parcel, developed on its own at this time as a single family residential area, is very problematic. B. Preliminary Plat Review. Density. The gross density of the development is 2.05 units/acre, the net density is 2.63 units/acre. Both densities are consistent with the D -II designation and the requested rezoning to R-1. Lots, All proposed lots meet the 12,000 s.f. minimum lot size requirement. The lots range in size from 12,000 s.f. to 39,300 s.f., the average lot size is 16,500 and median lot area is 14,300. An 85' minimum width at the 30' front yard setback must be maintained and it appears from the proposed plat that lots 20 and 21, Block 1 and Lot 13, Block 3, do not meet the minimum width requirement. Lot 13 is approximately 78' in width allowing for a 63' building pad. ,2 2(3 Planning Report - Lone Oak Forest March 22, 1994 Page 6 Lots 3 and 4, Block 4 are double fronted lots, and have a questionable layout. It appears that both lots do not meet the 85' lot width requirement. The north property line of lot 3 was angled north to make an attempt at meeting the 85' lot width; in doing so creating an unusual side or rear lot line for Lot 2, Block 4 which is a corner lot. Lot 3 is approximately 73' in width (allowing only a 58' wide building pad). Outlot A has been provided to allow a potential street connection to be made west of the site for future development. Setbacks The proposed building pads meet the R-1 setback requirements. No variances have been requested. Tree Preservation/Grading, The tree preservation plan does not meet the City's requirements. A replacement plan which meets the tree preservation policy is necessary. The site contains some steep slopes that are heavily wooded and some gently rolling hills that are lightly wooded. An area of 3 1/2 acres in the central portion of the site that contains some steep slopes and is heavily wooded will not be disturbed with the initial phase of the grading. However, the majority of the site will be disturbed during the initial grading. The tree preservation plan provided states that there are 249 significant trees and 36,400 s.f. of woodlands on site. As proposed, this development would result in the loss of 102 trees and 23,500 O. of woodlands (65%). The loss of trees and woodland far exceeds the Tree Preservation guidelines. Grading/Wetlands. The preliminary grading plan is acceptable. The site contains heavily wooded steep slopes and some lightly wooded gently rolling hills. An area of 3.5 acres in the central portion of the site that contains heavily wooded steep slopes will not be disturbed with the initial phase of the grading. The development will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures in accordance with the City's Erosion/Sediment Control Manual Standards. The developer has identified three wetland basins totaling 2.16 acres on the site. Because the developer is proposing to fill some wetland areas, a sequencing analysis was required to attempt to avoid and minimize wetland fill/drain impacts to the extent practicable. After the sequencing analysis, the total amount of fill proposed by the developer was 0.21 acres in two basins. About 0.16 acres of the fill was necessary because of County requirements for access to Lone Oak Road. The remainder is associated with the proposed street alignment internal to the development. The developer's proposal to replace the 0.21 acres of Type 2 or 3 wetlands with 0.42 acres of Type 2 or 3 wetlands on the site is allowed for by the Wetlands Conservation Act (WCA). Planning Report - Lone Oak Forest March 22, 1994 Page 7 Storm Drainage/Water Quality - Until drainage and utility easements are obtained over Pond GP -3, the storm sewer layout is unacceptable. Storm water runoff from the north 1/3 of the site is proposed to drain to a wetland located on the north edge of the site, along the south edge of Lone Oak Road. This development will be responsible for constructing an outlet to the wetland that will discharge across Lone Oak Road and into Pond FP -12. Storm water runoff from the south 2/3's of the site is shown to discharge to the wetland that is located in the southeasterly corner of the site adjacent to TH 55. The developer will be responsible for constructing an outlet for this wetland to the west to Pond GP -3. Pond GP -3 is classified as a sedimentation basin and the storm water runoff from this basin will eventually discharge to Pond GP -1 in Bur Oak Park. Pond GP -1 is classified for indirect contact recreation. To protect Bur Oak Pond, or Pond GP -1, staff recommends that the developer be required to provide on-site ponding to treat storm water runoff from the southerly 2/3's of this site. The northerly 1/3 of this site that discharges to Pond FP -12 will be responsible for a cash dedication in lieu of ponding. The proposed houses that are adjacent to the wetlands or water quality ponds shall provide a 3 foot freeboard from the high water level of the ponds up to the lowest entry level of the proposed houses. Sanitary Sew - The sanitary sewer layout is acceptable provided permission can be obtained from MnDOT to cross Highway 55 with an 8" line to serve this site. Sanitary sewer service is not currently adjacent to this site. This area is designated to be serviced from an existing lift station that is located 200 feet west and on the south side of TH 55. The sanitary sewer at the lift station has sufficient capacity and depth to serve this development. The developer will be responsible for extending sanitary sewer from this site to the existing lift station. Water Main - Water main service to this area is unacceptable and not available to serve this development. This development is designated to be served from 2 locations. The first location is :200 feet west of the site and also on the south side of TH 55. The second location is 2200 feet to the west along Lone Oak Road. The extension of an 8" water line in the south edge of this site along TH 55 to connect to the existing 6" watermain will be responsibility of this development. According to the preliminary utility plan, the extension of the 12" watermain on Lone Oak Road from this site to Lone Oak Drive is proposed to be constructed by the City. City Council authorization of the extension of this 12" watermain is required prior to final plat approval of this development. The existing houses that are adjacent to the proposed street shall be provided with individual sewer and water services as the street and utility construction is extended along these existing houses. Sewer and water stubs shall be provided to the east property line of this site in a stub street to provide sewer and water service to Inver Grove Heights. A water main stub shall be provided to the west property line in the proposed stub street that is shown as Outlot A. a�� Planning Report - Lone Oak Forest March 22, 1994 Page 8 Access/Street Design - The street layout is unacceptable. Street access is available to serve this site from Lone Oak Road. Dakota County has required that the street intersection of DesLauriers Drive shall be provided at a location 250 feet west of the east property line. The preliminary street layout plan shows a street connection to TH 55 which is along the south edge of the site. MnDOT has reviewed the Lone Oak Forest preliminary plat and attached is a copy of the letter from MnDOT dated February 10, 1994. It is MnDOTs position that no public street access will be allowed to connect to TH 55. Access cannot be provided from the south with the proposed layout. A loop type road off of Lone Oak Road might have been an alternative however this cannot be accomplished within the property boundary of the development. The developer has made attempts to coordinate with the landowner to the west but attempts have been futile. The street layout plan includes a future stub street to the west in the location where Outlot A is shown. Easements/Right-of-Way/Permits - Development of this plat will require 60' of additional half right-of-way along the north property line for Lone Oak Road. The final plat shall dedicate restrictive access along TH 55. This development will be responsible for obtaining an easement for the proposed sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer lines that are to be constructed along the north edge of TH 55. Also, an easement is required over Pond GP -3 up to 3 feet above the HWL of the pond. The proposed stub street that is shown to be located in Outlot A shall have 60 feet of right-of-way dedicated over it. The development will be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA, Mn. Dept. of Health, MWCC, MnDOT, Dakota County, Mobil Oil, etc.) are obtained prior to final plat approval. Parks and Recreation - The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission meeting recommended denial of this proposed development at their March 14, 1994 meeting. The commission had concerns with potential park locations and the large amount of tree loss with no replacement plan. Compatibility with Surrounding Area, Based on the foregoing review staff believes that the proposed project plat is incompatible with the overall area. Planning Report - Lone Oak Forest March 22, 1994 Page 9 SUMMARY/CONCLUSION 1. Rezoning. Rezoning of this parcel from R-4 to R-1 would technically comply with the D -II designation for this property in the Land Use Guide Plan. Previous analysis of this site in 1988 and again in 1990 concluded that a D -II residential designation was inappropriate. This review, in 1994, points to the same conclusion. With the exception of this subject parcel, the remainder of the triangle area is still zoned Agriculture and is characterized by a few scattered rural density residential cases. The few homeowners present today are apparently satisfied with their relatively private neighborhood. In the long run, however, the potential for development of a viable urban density residential neighborhood in this triangle area does not look very good. Rezoning of this 30 acre parcel to R-1 to permit an isolated single family residential development does not appear to be compatible with a realistic long range, comprehensive plan for this area. The current D -II designation for this entire triangle should be reconsidered as part of the pending commercial land use study so that the City's vision for eventual development of this area is clarified and properly communicated to those interested in developing land in Eagan. 2. Preliminary Plat. In addition to the basic land use issues involved in this proposed development of homes, there are technical issues associated with the proposed plat. These include issues such as problematic lot layout, an inadequate tree preservation plan, an unacceptable storm sewer layout. While some of these issues could be resolved through revisions in the proposed plans two major issues simply cannot be resolved satisfactorily at this time: provision of adequate access to the site as well as neighborhood park service. RECOMMENDATION Based on the foregoing analysis and conclusions staff recommends: 1. Denial of the rezoning from R-4 & A to R-1. 2. Denial of the preliminary plat. Staff further recommends that the appropriate land use designation for the larger triangular area bounded by Lone Oak Road and TH 55 be addressed further as part of the Commercial Land Use Plan Amendment. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION - Lone Oak Forest There are pay-off balances of special assessments totaling $ 10,061 on the parcels proposed for platting. The pay-off balance will be allocated to the lots created by the plat. At this time, there are no pending assessments on the parcel proposed for platting. The estimated financial obligation presented is subject to change based upon areas, dimensions and land uses contained in the final plat. Based upon the study of the financial obligations collected in the past and the uses proposed for the property, the following charges are proposed. The charges are computed using the City's existing fee schedule and connections proposed to be made to the City's utility system based on the submitted plans.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn /DOT) has reviewed the Lone Oak Forest preliminary plat in compliance with Minnesota Statute 505.03, subd. 2, Plats. We have the following comments. The connection of a local street to TH 55, a principal arterial, is inappropriate. It is our goal to eventually eliminate all direct access to TH 55 between TH 3 and TH 149. This goal is generally applicable to all of TH 55 south to Hastings depending upon land use. The intersections of TH 55 with TH 3 and TH 149 are separated by approximately two miles. This is consistent with the criterion established by regional policy for management of the metropolitan highway system. If access to the southerly side of the properties in this area is deemed to be necessary we recommend that a local street be developed to provide that access. We are available to discuss access issues with you, please contact me if you wish. A Mn/DOT drainage permit will be required. Drainage plans and computations should be submitted with a permit application. We request that the city furnish us with an current copy of Eagan's comprehensive storm sewer plan. Questions, and the sewer plan, may be directed to Keith Van Wagner of our Hydraulics Section at 779 -5053. The Roadway Regulations Supervisor may be contacted at 582 -1443 for applications and questions about the permit process. An Equal Opportune Employer a. {a%/ Page 7/EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 16, 1990 FEW BUSINESS COMPREHENSNE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT/REZONING AREA EIMULTIFAM LY RESIDENTIAL LAND STUDY After introduction by Mayor Egan, City Administrator Hedges said that a number of persons were in the audience regarding this item. He then provided background on the Multifamily Residential Land Study and Area E in particular. Mr. Hedges said that consideration of a comprehensive guide plan amendment and rezoning of Area E had been before the Advisory Planning Commission at their August 28 meeting and they had recommended approval. Mr. Hedges said that if the Council so desired, consideration could be given to a continuance so that there could be a neighborhood informational meeting to better understand what the issues are. He then asked that the Director of Community Development make a brief presentation. Director of Community Development Runkle said that Area E is one of 16 areas being studied by the City as part of the Multifamily Residential Land Study. Mr. Runkle said that the eastern 25 acres of Area E was the parcel that originally started the Study. He said that after looking at land uses, alternatives considered for the area included Limited Business and R-2. However, after looking at the adjacent roadways and adjacent zoning, Mr. Runkle said it was determined that residential may not be the best alternative for the long term. Mr. Runkle said it may be appropriate to include same LB or LI or other uses with very definite breaks because the topography separates the parcels along a bluff line. Mr. Runkle said the best solution that came out of their study of the entire 105 acres with no specific development plan, would be to guide the property to Research do Development and thereby taking the area out of a residential use in the future and guiding ft to some very restrictive uses. Mr. Runkle said some Light Industrial may work its way into the area but it would be on a case -by -case basis as development occurs and specific proposals came through. Mr. Runkle said the APC bad reviewed the proposal. Some of the concerns to Dome out of that meeting included neighborhood concerns regarding whether residents could rebuild if the land use were changed; could they rebuild their existing homes. The other issue in questions was in regard to taxes and the valuation of the properties. Mr. Runkle said they bad a meeting with one of the County Assessors to attempt to get an understanding of this parcel as well as other parcels in the community and bow they establish the taxes and set the valuation. He said a memorandum bad been provided with the packet and it said basically that each parcel is looked at individually as to the highest and best use. Mr. Runkle said that the comp guide is the document the County is using for a long term view of what the highest and best uses could be. He said other factors do come into play such as availability of utilities to the property and the availability of undeveloped land with utilities in the immediate area. He pointed out that even though a parcel may be comp guided or have a use that may increase its potential value, the use at the present as residential may be the highest use for a number of years before the valuation actually increases or taxes increase on the property. Mr. Runkle said that the assessor also indicated that statute requires that 25% of the community be reevaluated each year or a total reevaluation every four years. He said that with the development that is occurring in Dakota County and with the number of assessors, instead of every four years it would be unusual if they got through the reevaluations every six years. The Director of Community Development said that an evaluation had just been completed within the community and if the City rezoned or changed this land use, it would probably be six years before it is reevaluated. In summary, Mr. Runkle said there is no set guideline for property taxes and every parcel is looked at on a case by case basis and weighed with the surrounding parcels. Mayor Egan said of the 16 parcels reviewed by the Council, this was the one with the most issues. He said that one landowner looked forward to a more intensive type of commercial development yet most of the residential neighbors were concerned about any form of commercial development. Mayor Egan said Page grEAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 16, 1990 the proposal was for research and development use of the property, however, there were no current plans for development that he was aware of. He said a study bad been done about two years ago on limited business for this land but there are many limitations on the uses for that type of commercial district. Mayor Egan added that it is important for the neighbors to Understand that the intent of the study was to try to upgrade land uses in the community for everyone's benefit. He said It was not taken at the initiative of any developer or any developer's plan and if discussion were entered Into with that understanding, it may simplify the issue. Mr. Stan Piekarski, 3350 Highwa 55, said the last time the aomprebensive guide plan was changed, his taxes went up and his Gran Acres status was lit, Mr. Piekarski said it took 10 years to change it and when it was finally changed back, the assessor's office said It shouldn't have been changed to begin with and should have remained agricultural. He added, however, that even having said that, the County would not refund the additional taxes that bad been collected. He asked if they would receive any guarantee or written statement that taxes would not go up and his Agricultural status would stay the same. Mayor Egan said be wished the City could but in light of County policies, there were no assurances. Mayor Egan said this was somewhat of a lateral rezoning. He said be didn't know if h was an improvement but be didn't feel it was a detriment~ The Mayor said be was not suggesting that a higher Intensity use could not go into Area E, but R &D is a very low intensity type of district. The Mayor said he thought the City of Eagan had more Limited Business and undesignated but zoned LB districts than any other cornmmercial district In the City. Councitmember Wachter said that R &D was a reasonable land use for these properties. He said he would like to see this designation but without assurances from the County that the tax would not go up, he was very reluctant to vote in favor. es Councilmembers McCrea and Pawlenry shared these concerns. Councitmember Pawlenry• said he did not think it was worth putting the property owners at risk of higher taxes. He then asked City Attorney Sheldon whether the City's hands would be tied if in the future someone bought this parcel and came in with a D•1I application. He asked if it would be more difficult at that point to say the applicant could not have a D.11 classification. City Attorney Sheldon said the property was comp guided as D -11 but zoned residential/agricultural in most instances. He said an applicant was entitled to come in and apply for the D -I1 classification; however, current law gives zoning precedence over the Comp Guide. He went on to say that those persons would definitely have an advantage in terms of the City's guide plan showing a D -II classification but it would not necessarily mean that It would be automatic or that it must be rezoned. Mr. Sheldon said the test would be the same as for any other rezoning and that would be whether the City's action is reasonable and whether that action had a factual basis and legally sufficient reasons to support it.

March 18, 1994 Advisory Planning Commission Members: We, the undersigned property /home owners (bounded by Lone Oak Road, T.H. 55, and the City of Eagan eastern corporate boundary, in the NE and NW 1/4s of Section 12, Dakota County, Minnesota, T -27N, R -23W) ask that you take into consideration the home owners' wishes in regard to the Lone Oak Forest housing development requesting approval by the City of Eagan Advisory Planning Commission on the Tuesday, March 22, 1994, public hearing. As the petition indicates we, as a neighborhood, stand undivided and strongly support the development of single family homes on the two land sections requesting rezoning. We further advise you that we detest the idea of any rental properties developing on the 26 acres in question. Most importantly, we are fearful that rental properties and all the problems renters statistically bring into a neighborhood would jeopardize are homes safety and deflate our property values. After consultation with an attorney, our feeling is that we must make every effort to keep this eastern section of our neighborhood restricted to single family home development. In September 1990 this neighborhood surrmitted a petition opposed to becoming zoned R & D. The Eagan City Council approved our wishes and voted against the R & D rezoning. We believe home owners, in a single family home development, would be the only developing which would compliment what already exists in this area. We asked that you follow your proposed future land usage guide (D -II) and permit the rezoning to accommodate the proposed Lone Oak Forest housing development. We have always had a nice, clean, low -crime neighborhood. Please help us keep it that way. Thank you for your cooperation.

Minnesota 55447 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, Minnesota 55122 April 13, 1994 SUBJECT: Marell, Inc. Rezoning and Subdivision Application MFRA #10559 Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members: Telephone Eng•neers 612.476 -6010 Planners 612/476 -8532 FAX Surveyors Marell, Inc., Applicant /Developer, is requesting consideration of its application to rezone and plat 30.1 acres located south of Lone Oak Road, north of Highway 55, on the Eagan east City boundary line. The request is to rezone approximately 26 acres from R -4 to R -1, and to rezone a 5+ acre parcel from Agricultural to R -1. The City comprehensive land use guide plan designates these properties D -II, 0 -6 units /acre density residential uses. The proposed zoning technical complies with the D -II designation, no variances are requested, the proposed residential density is consistent with the land use guide and all lots will meet or exceed the R -1 district requirements. In fact, the average lot size is 16,500 S.f., as noted in the Staff Planning Report. This rezoning and subdivision request took a sudden and inexplicable turn from what seemed to be reasonable staff participation to an unyielding position to recommend denial as stated in the Planning Report. Because of this paradoxical dilemma, we find this letter is necessary. In early October, 1993, the late Mr. Kenneth Appelbaum, principal owner of Marell, Inc., and Mr. Lyle Nash met with the City Manager to discuss the future development of the subject property. On October 13, 1993, Marell, Inc. executed a purchase agreement and authorized McCombs Frank Roos Associates, Inc. (MFRA) to prepare an application and the submission materials required by the City for rezoning and preliminary plat. In addition, Mr. Don Dethlefs was retained to assist Marell in reviewing platting concepts and to guide the project through the review process. The consultant's charge was to prepare the preliminary plat, preliminary utility and grading plans, a tree preservation plan, stormwater design, and wetland preservation /mitigation plan, and to liaison with City staff. The plans were prepared consistent with and in Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council April 13, 1994 Page Two cooperation with City technical staff, including the Forester, Wetland Specialist, Planners, and Engineers. Following the original submission, the plans were revised pursuant to City staff directives. Group staff meetings and individual meetings were conducted to facilitate preparation of the plans consistent with the Staff's directives. Specifically, two development review committee meetings were convened, providing ample opportunity for the applicant and City to react to the plat and rezoning requests. During these meetings, and most recently on March 3, 1994, the applicant's consultants were complimented on the quality and cooperativeness of their work. In fact, the plans were prepared consistent with City engineering standards, acknowledged the City's tree preservation guidelines, and are consistent with the comprehensive storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and trunk water systems plans. A neighborhood meeting was convened to solicit input from adjacent property owners, in anticipation of the Planning Commission meeting on March 22, 1994. A petition supporting the plat was circulated by an adjoining property owner and signed by 46+ individuals residing at approximately 38 addresses, all representing properties within the area bounded by Lone Oak Road, Highway 55, and extending approximately 3/4 mile west and east into Inver Grove Heights. From the applicant's first meeting in October, 1993 through plan preparation and Staff review, including the neighborhood meeting, Marell, Inc.., was never discouraged from processing the application. In fact, we were encouraged to prepare what was referred to as a Neighborhood Context Plan, dealing with the larger neighborhood bounded by Highway 55 and Lone Oak Road, and extending east to Argenta Trail in Inver Grove Heights. The purpose of such a plan was to illustrate conceptually how the proposed plat might "fit ", be absorbed, into the fabric of a larger community. In fact, the City and the County, raised the issue of internal road circulation and the prospect of a neighborhood park site. Questions of land use transitions were also raised and addressed, while considering wetlands, slopes, woodlands, and topography. It was apparent that sufficient land mass and density exists, within the general area to support a neighborhood. Such a neighborhood would be consistent with City park planning policies and standards; specifically, a neighborhood park should provide for a service area of 1/4 to 1/2 mile and serve a population of 1,000 - 2,000. In this regard, Mr. Appelbaum proceeded to negotiate the purchase of 4.5 acres located west of the subject property, specifically for the purpose of donating the land to the City to establish the initial portion of a potentially larger neighborhood park. Mr. Appelbaum saw this as a positive consideration, contribution and recreation amenity for the area. Q1 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council April 13, 1994 Page Three On March 3, 1994, a meeting was convened at the request of Mr. Appelbaum and attended by City administrative and planning staff. The purpose was to discuss issues of air traffic noise, the Neighborhood Context Plan, and recent correspondence with County highway and Mn /DOT representatives. Of concern was a letter written by a Transportation Planner from Mn /DOT, dated February 10, 1994. The Mn /DOT letter did not prohibit access onto T.H. 55 and, in fact, in the absence of other traffic planning information, stated that "if access is deemed to be necessary, we recommend that a local street be developed..." One of Marell's agent's contacted Mn /DOT to discuss the issue of access to T.H. 55 and to explain long -range permanent roadway options for the area. It is our understanding that a temporary access onto T.H. 55, as shown on the preliminary plat, would be acceptable with right -in and right -out turns only and with the understanding that accelerations /decelerations would likely be required. Furthermore, this access may potentially be terminated and a cul -de -sac be constructed when other road connections are constructed. In addition, outlots would be platted and deeded to the City for the specific purpose of extending roads east and west into adjoining properties. These future roads will provide a parallel road to County Highway 26, enhance the overall vehicular circulation and reduce exclusive dependency on County Road 26. It was mentioned to Marell representatives that the City staff acknowledged the Consultant's efforts to address the issues and, in fact, the staff was gracious with their compliment, but concluded our March 3, 1994 meeting by stating that they felt multiple family uses would be more appropriate for the property. This was the first time during the plan preparation and review process that this position was articulated. The City planning report, prepared seven days after our March 3, 1994 staff meeting, and five months following initial discussions with the City, was written in discouraging terms. Its tenor discounted prior established confidence and goodwill. The Planning Report casts aspersions that the technical design work is "unacceptable ". On the issue of rezoning, the City Planning Report states that "several property owners are not presently interested in selling their land for development, which precludes developing the area in a unified manner at this time ". Although the choice of several landowners to not sell now precludes unified development at this time, it does not follow that unified development would not occur over time. In fact, it is not unusual that urban development occur in phases or incrementally, as properties become available. Good planning provides for orderly and systematic development. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council April 13, 1994 Page Four The following comments focus on the February Planning Report. The last paragraph on Page 4 of the report states that "the isolated nature of this entire, relatively small land triangle makes provisions of neighborhood park services very difficult." The report further states that "there are no plans to provide a neighborhood park with a limited potential residential area..." If the area developed consistent with the residential D -II land use designation, the City's parkland requirements would allow for the acquisition of adequate park to meet future needs. Approximately 105 acres are within the City of Eagan, bounded by T.H. 55 and C.R. 26. Certainly park area could be located and dedicated within this 105 -acre area to accommodate a neighborhood park and serve residents within a 1/4 to 1/2 mile radius and to meet the needs of a neighborhood park planning population of 1,000 - 2,000 people. The first paragraph on Page 5, last sentence, states that "if a commercial proposal in the extreme western edge of the triangular area bounded by T.H. 55 and C.R. 26 were accepted by the City, the residential neighborhood potential for the triangle would be further restricted ". It is Marell's contention that the extreme western triangle of the study area is suited for commercial use. Marell, Inc., would support the City's decision for commercial designation on the western point. In fact, such commercial property would provide retail and commercial services to the easterly adjoining residential neighborhood. The second paragraph of Page 5 addresses Aircraft Noise Zone 4, noting that residential uses in Zone 4 are a "conditional land use ". The Metropolitan Councils' land use Compatibility Guidelines and Home Construction Design Standards clearly indicate that residential uses are acceptable in Zone 4 and are not inconsistent or prohibited. The fourth paragraph on Page 5 states: "the development of this property for single - family uses at this time, with regard to access is very "problematic "." In fact, a review of the correspondence from County highway engineers and correspondence and discussions with Mn /DOT transportation planners suggest access is feasible. With regard to Preliminary Plat review, the planning report notes three lots are less than the required 85 -foot minimum width at the front yard setback. These computing errors are correctable and all lots will meet the lot width requirement. Page 6, paragraph 1, refers to two lots in Block 3 having double frontage and are a questionable layout. A review of the Preliminary Grading Plan will reveal the rear portions of Lots 3 and 4, Block 4 are designated wetland, ponding and /or mitigation areas. Although the lots ?.3 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council April 13, 1994 Page Five front on two public rights -of -way, the future development of each lots can only be accomplished with access and orientation to the interior cul -de -sac. For all practical purposes, these two lots have a single frontage from the interior cul -de -sac because of grading, wetlands, and mitigation features. On Page 6, under the title Tree Preservation /Grading, the report states that the tree preservation plan "does not meet the City's requirements, without a replacement plan which meets the tree preservation policy..." It is our intent, as discussed with City staff, to provide a tree replacement plan consistent with the requirements of the Tree Preservation Guidelines. The Planning Report identifies a 3- 1/2 acre wooded area in the central portion of the site which contains steep slopes and arguably the most valuable trees on the property. It is the developer's intent to minimize disturbance in this area and provide future homeowners, builders and architects design flexibility, thus increasing the potential for tree preservation. The statement that 65% of woodland areas would be lost is erroneous. Page 6 of the Report, titled "Grading /Wetlands ", states that "the grading plan is acceptable" and again states that the 3 -1/2 acre central wooded and sloped area "will not be disturbed with the initial phase and grading ". The Report notes, with regard to wetlands, that approximately 0.21 acres of wetland filling will occur in two basins. The filling of 0.16 acres is necessary because of county highway requirements relative to the location of the access road onto Lone Oak Road. The remaining 0.05 acre (2,178 square feet) wetland fill is the result of residential lot development. The proposal is to replace all altered wetland at a ratio of 2:1. This mitigation includes the 0.16 acre fill required by the County specified access location onto Lone Oak Road. The loss of wetland with regard to C.R. 26 access is unavoidable and would be required under any development scenario. The wetland and grading plans were found acceptable and, in fact, Mr. Rich Brasch was openly complimentary. Page 7, paragraph 1 of the Planning Report, titled "Storm Drainage /Water Quality ", states that "until drainage and utility easements are obtained over pond GP -3, the storm sewer layout is unacceptable ". At the risk of being overly sensitive to semantics and syntax, the above quoted phrase could have been structured in more positive terms. During staff meetings, we discussed the need for an easement over pond GP -3 and requested the City assist in securing the easements, should the efforts of the developer fail. The City's Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan indicates Pond GP -3 is an :integral facility. It is obvious that easements will be required in favor of the City on this pond and other similar ponds shown on the City's Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council April 13, 1994 Page Six Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan. The Planning Report also notes that "on -site ponding to treat stormwater runoff from the southerly 2/3 of the site would be required". We are fully cognizant of this request and have provided the ponding. All building pads have been designed such that lowest entry levels will accommodate three feet of freeboard above the high water level of adjoining ponds. On Page 7 of the Planning Report, titled "Sanitary Sewer and Watermain ", notes that the sanitary sewer layout is acceptable and that sufficient capacity and depth exists in the nearby lift station to accommodate this development. However, on the subject of watermains, the report states that the watermain service to the area is unacceptable and water service is not available to serve the development. The developer understands that water is approximately 200 feet west of the southwestern portion of the site, extension is feasible. Furthermore, our preliminary engineering plans acknowledge a 2,200 foot extension of watermain from the west to the property's northwest corner. Extending these two watermains and connecting them through the subject property will provide a watermain loop. The developer is requesting the City consider extending the 12 -inch watermain along Lone Oak Road as a public improvement project. It is further understood this work would not be authorized without completing a feasibility study during the plat review phase. Page 8 of the Planning Report, Paragraph 1, addresses the issue of access, noting that the plan is unacceptable. Once again, the report seems to bias the reader, by alleging an unacceptable design condition regarding this elementary aspect of site development. Our agents have contacted the County Highway Department and our plan is to revise the plat per County requirements. This includes two outlots, to accommodate east /west stub streets into adjoining properties. This consideration, as mentioned earlier in this letter, is provided at the request of both the City and the County, and will provide improved vehicular circulation. The planning report states "it is Mn /DOT's position that no public street access will be allowed to connect with T.H. 55." This is an inaccurate and prejudicious representation of the Mn /DOT letter. The Mn /DOT letter states, "if access to the southerly side of the properties in this area is deemed to be necessary, we recommend that a local street be developed to provide that access. We (Mn /DOT) are available to discuss access issues with you... ". This statement clearly leaves open the options of access to T.H. 55, which continues to be discussed with phone calls on 04/13/94. Our agent has contacted the author of the February 10, 1994 Mn /DOT letter and has discussed the possibility of constructing a public street access to T.H. 55 as illustrated in the preliminary plat at the location of an existing driveway which serves the Mike and the Carlson Properties. The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council April 13, 1994 Page Seven developer understands that deceleration /acceleration lanes would likely be required. The developer also understands that this access may be terminated with the completion of other roads and when development occurs in the vicinity. The Planning Report states in Paragraph 2, Page 8 that "access cannot be provided from the south with the proposed layout". This is an incorrect statement. Although the developer has had contact with adjoining property owners and expanding development to the west at the current time is not practical, this situation certainly does not forever preclude future land development on properties to the west. The Planning Report Summary /Conclusion on Page 9 states that "the rezoning is technically compatible with the City's Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan" and further notes that "the potential for development of a viable urban density residential neighborhood in this triangle area does not look very good ". Marell, Inc., disagrees with this position and finds that the physical character of the land, specifically the topography, woodland and wetlands, provide interesting amenities and are desirable physical attributes for residential development. The proposed plat is consistent with the residential land use guiding of the property. A viable urban residential neighborhood could exist on this triangle of land, with commercial on the extreme western edge. The neighborhood would ultimately join with properties east in Inver Grove Heights to Argenta Trail. It is not apparent that substantive changed conditions affecting this triangle of land have occurred which would or justify amending the land use from residential. The City's concern for commercial and research and development properties within the community is not justification to seriously consider amending this entire 105+ acre triangular land mass. The notion of holding the subject property "hostage" in the interest of increasing the City's commercial and /or research and development land inventory is unreasonable and caprious. The City staff findings and conclusions that the preliminary plat is a problematic layout, that the proposal has inadequate tree preservation, and that the engineering design and road access is unacceptable are without foundation. The plans have been prepared consistent with the City's comprehensive utility plans, and with correspondence with the County and State highway departments and with conscientious liaison with the City's planning, forestry, wetland and engineering staff. The Summary /Conclusions and recommendations of the Planning Report are incongruent with the work, correspondence and checkprints we have had with the City. 7 (t' Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council April 13, 1994 Page Eight as the community of years.

Chairman Voracek opened the next public hearing of the evening regarding a Rezoning of 30.1 acres from A (Agricultural) and R-4 (Multiple) to R -1 (Single Family) and a Preliminary Plat consisting of 62 single family lots and orie outlot on 30.1 acres located along the south side of Lone Oak Road north of Highway 55 in NE 1/4 of Section 12. Community Development Director Reichert introduced this item. She stated that the applicant is requesting a rezoning of 30.1 acres from R -4 and Agricultural to R -1 and a preliminary plat consisting of 62 lots and one outlot. She stated that the subject property is located south of Lone Oak Road and north of Highway 55. Ms. Reichert stated that the subject property was zoned R -4 in 1969 but has yet to be developed. She stated the surrounding uses included a vacant zoned PD parcel to the north; a vacant zoned agricultural parcel and Bur Oaks Addition to the south; scattered, unplatted single family homes, zoned agricultural to the west; and the Eagan /Inver Grove Heights corporate boundaries to the east. She stated that the subject property has fairly rugged topography with a ridge line running east to west through the middle of the parcel. She further stated that the entire parcel is isolated by major roadways, noting Lone Oak Road to the north, and Trunk Highway 55 on the south. Ms. Reichert described the area as a quiet, secluded neighborhood. She further stated that due to the terrain and topography, the parcel would be difficult to develop. She stated that City staff recommends denial of the applicant's request to rezone and preliminary plat approval for the following reasons: 1. The development would have but one access and that being from Lone Oak Road. Ms. Reichert noted that MnDOT has denied any public street access onto Highway 55 due to the unknown future expansion of the highway. 2. The subject property is located in the Metropolitan Council's Aircraft Noise Zone IV in which new home construction is guided as a conditional land use. Ms. Reichert stated that for long -term planning, avoidance of new home construction in noise zones is a plus for the City's development. Page 13 /EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH: 22, 1994 3. The heavily wooded and severe topography characteristics of the property, in addition to the property being isolated by two major roadways. 4. The establishment of any parks within the development or in the surrounding area is not practicable or feasible. The land is relatively two small for a dedicated park area and due to the major roadways, the establishment of a park in the area is not feasible for safety considerations. Member Segal inquired as to whether the subject property is connected with the commercial study presently underway in the City. Community Development Director Reichert stated it was not. She noted, however, that the City had conducted a study regarding the land use of the subject property in 1988 and 1990. She stated that both studies concluded that the existing multi - residential land use designation is inappropriate for the subject parcel. Mike Gare, a representative of Marell, Inc., appeared with Lyle Nash and David Nash. Mr. Gare stated that Marell is following the principles set by Kenneth Applebaum who gave him directives 24 hours before Mr. Applebaum's death to go forward with the project. Mr. Gare stated that the adjacent parcel in Inver Grove Heights gives the parcel an additional 132 acres with a density of 3 units /acre or 2,000 to 3,000 people. He further noted that the Inver Grove Heights property is similarly guided to the subject property. Mr. Gare presented an aerial photograph with an overlay of a section map. Mr. Gare explained the area and the topography as indicated on the map. Mr. Gare further stated that he believed the subject property was good property for residential development. He further presented a topography map, explaining the contours therein. With respect to the airport /aircraft noise zone issue, Mr. Gare conceded that the subject property is within Zone IV. He further stated that the Metropolitan Council's characterization of residential development as a conditional land use is merely a guideline not a set standard or requirement. Mr. Gare further noted that he too lives in Noise Zone IV in Minneapolis and stated that the air noise is tolerable. He stated that the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan and that the request for rezoning is a preferable downzone. He further stated that Dakota County has approved a east -west access and that he is confident that an access onto Highway 55 will occur in the future. Page 14 /EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 Peggy Carlson, 3434 Highway 55, Eagan, stated that she initiated a neighborhood petition in regard to the proposed Lone Oak Forest development. She stated that the residents are concerned with having to appear before the Commission and City Council every two years regarding the development of this subject property. She stated that the residents wish to have the issue settled. She described the surrounding area as large acreage lots with single family homes, but noted that single family homes would compliment the area analogizing it to the Bur Oaks development and its surrounding area. She stated that the residents are concerned about the constant question of what will happen to the land and how it will be developed. Ms. Carlson further stated that she believed if the rezoning was denied and an apartment is proposed tomorrow, the City would have to approve the apartment because it is a R -4 zoned parcel. She further stated that the residents have concerns regarding wildlife being destroyed if multiple residential, industrial or commercial development is developed on the subject property. Jay Reedamen, who stated he is a future homeowner in the Lone Oaks area, stated he is against rezoning the property but if the property is to be developed, he would prefer single family homes as opposed to multi - residential. He further stated that airport noise is not a problem and the development of the subject property as anything than single family would not be consistent with the area. A resident at 510 Lone Oak Road stated that he lives west of the subject property. He inquired as to how the property was originally zoned R -4 because prior to that the subject property was zoned single family on one side of the ridge and multi- residential on the other side of the ridge. He stated that he opposed the development of apartments on the property and that he would rather see single family homes than multi- residential buildings as now permitted by the zoning. Jerry Mike, 3430 Highway 55, stated he has lived adjacent to the subject property for 15 years. He stated that if the subject property is going to be developed, then he would prefer single family homes on the property. Mike Bavone, a resident, stated that he owns an office building easterly adjacent to the subject property where he houses his electrical business. He stated that he is "more in favor of single family than multi - residential" property. He reasoned that one can expect more problems with renters than owners of property. Page 15 /EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 Community Development Director Reichert stated that the residents' concerns are that the property will be developed for multiple dwelling housing. She noted that City staff also has concerns for multiple dwelling housing on the subject property. She further stated that the City may have an option to rezone the property to agricultural or an interim use for large lot residential development. She stated that she believed that the residents are not in favor of the proposed development because of the proposed development but because they fear that if single family does not go on the property a multiple residential development may. She further stated that it is her impression that the residents are favoring the proposed development only to prevent multiple dwelling development on the subject property. A resident in the audience gave an affirmative nod to her comment. Member Miller stated that it appears to him from the residents' comments that the residents are content with leaving the parcel the way it is. He further stated that his concern with rezoning the subject property to R -1 is that it may leave no flexibility to develop the property differently in the future. Community Development Director Reichert, directing her attention to the audience, stated that development of the parcel will require utility connections thereby subjecting the residents to potential assessments. Lyle Nash, a representative of the applicant, stated that the property owners have signed a purchase agreement with Applebaum and have the intention to develop the property. He stated that if the proposal is not approved, the applicant will return with a new proposal. Member Miller stated that he believed that if the property is zoned R -4 and the applicant presents a development for an apartment complex then the City may be required to approve such a proposal. Chairman Voracek stated that the Commission has no jurisdiction over the Inver Grove Heights property and it has no verification that Inver Grove Heights did or will approve a rezoning to allow single family development on that property. He further stated that the residents may not have a problem with airport noise now, but if the land is developed, the noise level will be impacted. Chairman Voracek stated that R -1 zone is not appropriate for the subject property because: (1) the property to the north is Planned Development; (2) Page 16 /EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 the Comprehensive Guide Plan for the area is not designated R -1; (3) single family development is not compatible with the surrounding area; and (4) the development will increase traffic for Lone Oak Road which will require future expansion of Lone Oak Road. He concluded by stating that if a R -4 permitted use is proposed, the applicant will still have all the same issues which are presently before the Commission and the applicant does not have a "shoe -in" for approval simply because it is a permitted use. Member Wallace stated that he concurred with Chairman Voracek and notes that the residents' approval is not for R -1 but against R -4. Member Segal stated that he believed City staff needed to further review the proposed uses for the subject property. He stated that he does not know enough at the present time to approve or deny the proposal. He suggested the Commission continue the hearing to allow the City to study the development options for the subject property. Member Miller recommended that the Commission deny rezoning and deal with the next development proposal as it comes. Chairman Voracek stated that since a development study on the parcel was conducted in 1988 and 1990 and both studies concluded that multi - residential development was not appropriate for the site, he opposed any study in 1994. Member Isberg concurred with Chairman Voracek and added that he supports the denial of the applicant's request based on the reasons cited by City staff. Member Miller stated that based on those issues cited by the City, e.g. access, airport noise, topography, surrounding uses, and lack of potential park locations, he recommended denial. Miller moved, Isberg seconded, the motion to deny a Rezoning of 30.1 acres from A (Agricultural) and R -4 (Multiple) to R -1 (Single Family) located along the south side of Lone Oak Road north of Highway 55 in the NE 1/4 of Section 12. All present voted in favor except Segal who opposed. Passed 5 -1. Member Heyl left the meeting part -way through this item and did not participate in the vote. Page 17 /EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 Isberg moved, Segal seconded, the motion to recommend to the City Council the preparation of an area development study. All present voted in favor. Per Chairman Voracek, no public hearing was held on the preliminary plat request because the issue was moot. Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994 City Council Meeting PRELIMINARY PLAT /FINAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT/VARIANCES ARGUS DEVELOPMENT /ST. CHARLES WOOD ADDITION G. Preliminary Plat/Final Planned Development/Variances, Argus Development /St. Charles Wood Addition, consisting of 24 single - family lots on ten acres and setback variances for Outlot F, Oak Cliff 3rd Addition, located along the east side of Slater Road in the northwest quarter of Section 31- -Argus Development has requested approval of a preliminary plat, final planned development and variances for the St. Charles Wood Addition consisting of 24 single family lots on ten acres and setback variances for Outlot F, Oak Cliff 3rd Addition, located along the east side of Slater Road, south of Cliff Road, in the northwest quarter of Section 31. The Advisory Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this item at its meeting of March 994. The staff report and Planning Commission minutes are enclosed on pages througli The Planning Commission is recommending approval of the final planned development and preliminary plat and the setback variances for Outlot F subject to ten conditions set forth in the Planning Commission minutes. The Commission added three conditions to those recommended by staff (Conditions 8, 9 and 10). The applicant also agreed to meet with the residents before this matter is heard by the City Council. The developer met with the residents on April 7. About 30 people attended. The developer reported that the neighbors voiced a desire for a reduction in the number of lots. Argus Development feels that they need the proposed number of lots to "make the deal work." ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a preliminary plat, final planned development and variances as requested by Argus Development for the St. Charles Wood Addition, consisting of 24 single family lots on 10 acres and setback variances for Outlot F, Oak Cliff 3rd Addition, located along the east side of Slater Road in the northwest quarter of Section 31 subject to the 10 conditions recommended by the Advisory Planning Commission.

It shall be the responsibility of the City Clerk to maintain the Water Quality Management Plan and make the same available to the public. PLANNING REPORT - ST. CHARLES WOOD MARCH 22, 1994 PAGE 3 BACKGROUND/HISTORY This property is part of the 92 acre Winkler- Jackson Planned Development created in 1982. The subject site is designated to accommodate 143 dwelling units in the Planned Development Agreement. The Agreement does not specify unit type and allows the density to be lowered at the developers sole discretion. Previously, in 1993, the Advisory Planning Commission recommended denial of a request to develop this site as a ten building - 80 unit townhouse project. At the June 15, 1993 City Council meeting, Daniel Development Company formally withdrew it's request. EXISTING CONDITIONS A portion of the property was graded in 1979 in connection with the construction of Slater Road. There are two high points on the site that are over 12' above the Slater Road street grade. Portions of the site that are heavily wooded and there are also two wetlands on site. SURROUNDING USES The following uses, zoning and comprehensive plan designations surround the subject property: North - Undeveloped; zoned PD -LB; designated LB, Limited Business. South - Slater Acres park; zoned PK; designated P, Park. East - Trunk Highway 77 (Cedar Avenue). West - Oak Cliff 2nd Addn. (SF); zoned PD; designated D -I SF (0 -3 u /ac) EVALUATION OF REQUEST Preliminary Plat Review Density - The gross density of the proposed development is 2.4 units /acre which is consistent with the requested Guide Plan designation of D -II Mixed Residential (0-6 units /acre). j - All proposed lots meet the 12,000 s.f. minimum lot size requirement. Lots range in size from 12,515 to 24,905 s.f., with an average lot size of 16,176 s.f. Setbacks - The applicant is requesting a 5' variance to the front building setback for all lots which would result in a 35' front setback off of Slater Road and a 25' front setback off of the internal street. The reduced setback is being pursued to provide flexibility for house placement. c2 PLANNING REPORT - ST. CHARLES WOOD MARCH 22, 1994 PAGE 4 Site Plan - The applicant is proposing a three foot - landscaped berm along the east property line to provide some buffering between the site and the highway. Tree Preservation Policy - The Tree Preservation Plan submitted exceeds the 25% tree loss limit of the site development phase. The Plan indicates 194 significant trees on site and the initial site development phase will remove 50 or 25.7 %. The Policy requires replacement for any tree removal above the threshold; in this instance, the developer will be responsible for planting two 2 1/2 inch diameter trees as mitigation for the lost woodlands. Grading - The grading plan is acceptable, however, the ultimate development of this site will result in a significant loss of trees. The existing terrain on this site contains a hill in the center at elevation 970. Slater Road in comparison along the westerly edge of the site is at elevation 952 to 956. Two small wetlands totalling 0.12 acres lie partially or wholly within the site. The first wetland is located partially within the northwest corner of the site and will not be filled or drained. The second lies adjacent to Slater Road in the southwest portion of the site. The developer's consultant contends that this wetland may be exempted from regulation under the WCA and is currently assembling information to document this claim. The preliminary grading plan shows that a considerable amount of grading will be :required to prepare this area for development. The developer has indicated that six of the 24 lots will be custom graded in order to reduce future tree loss. The remaining 18 lots will be graded at the time of initial site development because of specific site terrain needs or lack of trees on the house pad. The preliminary grading plan shows that approximately 4 - 6 feet of fill will be placed over an existing 12" water main that is located on the north edge of this site. The fill, will be placed to provide a berm to help screen Lots 19, 20, and 21 from the Cedar Avenue Freeway. 4 to 6 feet of fill will also be placed over an existing 10" sanitary sewer line that runs along the north and east edge of the site. The developer will be responsible for reconstructing the sanitary sewer manholes up to the new grade and the developer shall provide verification of the load bearing capacity of the pipe. PLANNING REPORT - ST. CHARLES WOOD MARCH 22, 1994 PAGE 5 The east property line of the site is adjacent to the Cedar Avenue Freeway. In the northeast and southeast corner of the site are hills that are wooded. In the middle of this site adjacent to the freeway is a low area that drains out to the Cedar Avenue Freeway. At this low area the freeway is wide open in a visual and audio sensation to the proposed development. The developer shall add a landscaped berm to help screen this development from the Cedar Avenue Freeway. The preliminary grading plan shows that the existing trees in the northeast corner of this site will be protected to help screen that corner from the Cedar Avenue Freeway. The grading plan shows that the proposed house on Lot 18 will be located in the southwest corner of the lot to protect the clump of oak trees and berming in the southeast corner of this site. The clump of oak trees in the southeast corner of this site is located 50 - 100 feet from the Cedar Avenue Freeway property line. This development shall be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures in accordance with the City's Erosion /Sediment Control Manual standards. Special care shall be taken to prevent erosion off this site and into the adjacent park to the south and into Pond AP -19. Storm Drainage /Water Ouality - The storm drainage and water quality plan is acceptable. The proposed storm sewer layout for the site will convey runoff which discharges directly to Pond AP -19, a shallow 0.7 -acre wetland in Slater Acres Park classified as a scenic recreation waterbody in the City's Water Quality Management Plan. The pond currently receives direct discharge from 14 acres of existing single - family residential developments. To mitigate the impact of runoff from the proposed development on Pond AP -19, the developer proposes to modify the storm system along Slater Road to discharge runoff from 6.4 acres of the proposed development to Pond AP-45, a sediment basin west of Slater Road. In addition, this modification would also divert to Pond AP-45 an additional 5.2 acres of residential area which currently drains directly to Pond AP -19. Finally, the developer would like to discharge runoff from about 3.7 acres of the proposed development directly to Pond AP -19, partially in an effort to reduce impacts to significant trees on the site. Modeling by staff indicates the proposal will result in no net increase in loading or total phosphorus concentration in Pond AP -19 as a result of the development. Utilities - The utility layout is acceptable. Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth is readily available to serve this site from an existing 10" line that runs along the northerly and easterly boundaries of this site. The preliminary utility plan shows that an 8" sanitary sewer will be extended along the east side of Slater Road to serve Lots 1 through 6 and Lot 24 and then connect to the 10" sanitary sewer line. The other lots would be served off of a new 8" sanitary sewer line that would run through the site in the proposed streets. PLANNING REPORT - ST. CHARLES WOOD MARCH 22, 1994 PAGE 6 Water main of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is readily available to serve this site from an existing 12" water main that runs along the north property line and from an existing 8" water main that is Located on the west edge of Slater Road. The preliminary utility plan shows connecting to the existing 12" water main in the northwest corner of the site and extending 6" lines to the east and south in the proposed streets. One inch copper lines will be extended across Slater Road for Lots 2 through 6, and the connection to the Slater Road water main will require removal and replacement of the street at the crossings. Access /Street Design - The street design and driveway layout plan is acceptable with minor modifications. Street access is readily available to serve this site from Slater Road which is a 44 foot wide street that runs along the west property line of the site. The Cedar Avenue Freeway which is along the east property line of the site is not proposed to have any access provided to it. The preliminary site plan shows construction of two cul -de -sacs with the longest one measured at 700 feet from Slater Road. The proposed street system will be a publicly maintained street that shall have a concrete valley gutter at the connection to Slater Road. As shown on the preliminary site plan, Lots 2 through 6 are shown to have access from Slater Road. The driveway connections to Slater Road shall include a turnaround on the driveways. Easements /Right -of- Way /Permits - No additional right -of -way will be required for Slater Road. The City currently has 80 feet of right -of -way for Slater Road. This development will be responsible for providing access easements as well as additional utility easements along the existing 10" sanitary sewer. The preliminary grading plan shows that fill will be placed in the area where the 10" sanitary sewer is and the additional fill will require a wider easement. The City requires that the width of the easement be twice as wide as the depth of the existing line. The final plat shall include permanent drainage and utility easements to cover the proposed sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer lines that will serve this site. This development will be responsible for obtaining all regulatory agency permits such as MPCA, MWCC, MnDept. of Health, MnDOT, etc., prior to final plat approval. Parks and Recreation - The City accepted a park land dedication (Slater Acres park) from the developer when the Winkler- Jackson Planned Development was created therefore, no park dedication is required. The Advisory Park, Recreation and Natural Resource Commission (APRNRC) recommended this development shall pay a cash trails dedication and provide an eight foot wide bituminous trail connection from the cul -de -sac, through a berm designed to act as a buffer, to the park and a 20' wide easement to accommodate the trail. �J PLANNING REPORT - ST. CHARLES WOOD MARCH 22, 1994 PAGE 7 Consistency with the Comprehensive Guide Plan - The proposal is not consistent with the Plan designation of D -IV Mixed Residential (+12 units /acre). However, the proposal is consistent with zoning (PD) and in the case of conflicts between the zoning map and the Plan, the existing zoning prevails. The city may wish to amend the Plan in this area as well as others at some point in the future. Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The proposed development is compatible with the park to the south, single family to the west, the east boundary of the site is adjacent to the highway, which throughout the city has proven to be compatible, and in general, single family is considered compatible with those uses allowed in the Limited Business zoning district to the north. Final Planned Development - A Planned Development is created based on a preliminary plan. Each phase of development within the PD requires final plan submittal and Final Planned Development approval by the City Council. Although not formally requested by the developer, the preliminary plat requested and subsequent final plat constitute the final plan submittal. As a single family development, documents necessary for the final plat will also satisfy the needs of the planned development. Therefore the final plat shall serve as the Final Planned Development for this area of the Winkler- Jackson Planned Development. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION Although the proposed development is not consistent with the Guide Plan designation for this property, the existing zoning (which is consistent) supersedes the Plan. The proposal appears consistent with the surrounding land uses in the vicinity. The developer has made a number of revisions to the plat that has resulted in greater tree preservation. The requested front setback variance for each lot will allow flexibility with house placement which should result in maximum tree preservation during the home construction phase of the development. ,2 9 ( PLANNING REPORT - ST.

Plate 44 1A Page 18 /EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 ST. CHARLES WOOD ADDITION - ARGUS DEVELOPMENT Chairman Voracek opened the next public hearing of the everting regarding a Final Planned Development and Preliminary Plat consisting of 24 single family lots on ten acres and setback Variances for Outlot F, Oak Cliff 3rd Addition, located along the east side of Slater Road in the NW 1/4 of Section 31. Project Planner Ridley introduced this item. He stated that Argus Development Company is requesting a preliminary plat for 24 single family lots on 10 acres currently platted as Outlot F of Oak Cliff 3rd Addition within the Winkler- Jackson Planned Development. He further stated that the applicant is requesting a variance of 5 feet to the required front yard building setback. He stated that the subject property is zoned Planned Development - Limited Business and is designated Limited Business under the Comprehensive Guide Plan. He further advised that the subject property is part of the 92 acre Winkler- Jackson Planned Development platted in 1982. Mr. Ridley stated that five lots in the proposed development will have access directly to Slater Road and all other lots by the single access to Slater Road from a cul -de -sac street. He stated that the applicant is requesting a variance from the setback requirements in an effort to further tree preservation on all lots. Dale Runkle, representing Joe Miller Homes and the applicant, stated that the proposed plat preserves the greatest number of trees and the least site disturbance. He stated that the applicant has no objections to any of City staff's recommended conditions. John Davy, a resident on James Street, spoke on behalf of a number of residents in the Oak Cliff development. He stated that the proposed plan "seems to be better than the 1993 plan." He stated the residents, however, have the following objections: (1) insufficient time to gather sufficient information and to prepare for the resident's presentation for the APC meeting; (2) residents fear that the turnaround of the driveways for the five lots that access directly onto Slater Road will become a storage area by the homeowners. Mr. Davy requested the Commission to continue the matter in order that the residents may meet with the developer to resolve and work out certain concerns of the neighborhood residents. He further stated that the residents request the Commission to require that the developer record a land covenant prohibiting any outdoor storage on the lots. Page 19 /EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 Ernie Companion, a resident of the Whispering Woods development, objected to the lack of sufficient notice of the meeting. He also requested the Commission to continue the matter in order that the residents may meet with the developer. Mr. Companion further stated his concern with the inconsistencies with the present site plan and that which was proposed in 1993. Mr. Companion specifically referred to the inconsistent tree count between the 1993 proposal and the present proposal. Curt Denson, a resident in the neighborhood, stated that a majority of the trees on the subject property are along Slater Road in addition to a natural berm, with a ten foot drop, along Slater Road. He stated that the trees and the hill provided a good noise barrier from Cedar Avenue and stated that without the trees and the hills the noise would increase. Mr. Denson also stated his concern regarding the run -off from the subject property to the pond in Slater Acres Park. He stated that the park has lost trees from pond flooding in the past. Mike Harding, a resident in the neighborhood, inquired as to how the City will monitor the developer's actions in preserving trees. Project Planner Ridley responded that the City forester will monitor the process. Mr. Runkle advised the Commission that the developer has no objection to recording a land covenant to prohibit outdoor storage in the turn - around areas. He further stated that the lots along Slater Road are located most efficiently to develop the property and to save trees. Chairman Voracek asked the developer to explain the inconsistencies between the 1993 tree count and the tree count in the present proposal. Mr. Runkle stated that the tree count provided in the present proposal was conducted by a tree and landscape company hired by the developer who counted and tagged those trees falling within the tree diameter under the City's policy. Project Planner Ridley advised the Commission that the Tree Preservation Policy was not adopted in 1993 and under the policy only significant trees, those with an eight inch or more diameter, are counted. Member Miller asked the applicant if he would agree to condition the approval on the developer meeting with the residents as early as possible before the matter is heard by the City Council. Mr. Runkle stated that the applicant was in agreement with that condition. D9 Page 20 /EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 City Attorney Dougherty advised the Commission that any land covenant recorded would be enforceable only by people affected in the plat. Miller moved, Wallace seconded, the motion to approve a Finial Planned Development and Preliminary Plat consisting of 24 single family lots on ten acres and setback Variances for Outlot F, Oak Cliff 3rd Addition, located along the east side of Slater Road in the NW 1/4 of Section 31, subject to the following conditions: 1. These standard conditions of plat approval as adopted by Council action on February 2, 1993, shall be complied with: Al, B1, B2, Cl, C2, C3, C4, D1, El, F1, G1 and Hi 2. A variance of 5' to the front building setback for all lots. 3. The Final Planned Development will be considered as part of the final plat approval. 4. The existing 18" storm sewer line that drains the low point of Slater Road adjacent to Lot 5 shall be diverted to Pond AP -45. 5. If fill is placed over the existing 10" sanitary sewer, the developer will be responsible for raising the manholes up to the new grade and provide verification of the load bearing capacity of the pipe. 6. The grading plan shall protect the existing trees in the northeast and southeast corner of the site and to add a landscaped berm along the east edge of the site to help screen along the Cedar Avenue Freeway. 7. On Lots 2 through 6, the driveway connections to Slater Road shall include a turnaround on the driveways. 8. A land covenant must be recorded that prohibits outdoor storage within the turn - around area. 9. The developer shall meet with the residents as early as possible before the item is presented to the City Council. 10. The developer shall pay a cash trails dedication and provide an eight foot wide bituminous trail connection from the cul -de -sac, through a berm designed to act as a buffer, to the park and a 20' wide easement to accommodate the trail. All present voted in favor. Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994 City Council Meeting PRELIMINARY PLAT /FINAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PULTE HOME CORP. /CLIFF LAKE TOWNHOMES ADDITION H.

That the design of public improvements for the subdivision is compatible and consistent with the platting or approved preliminary plat on adjacent lands. K. That the subdivision is in compliance with those standards set forth in that certain document entitled "City of Eagan Water Quality Management Plan for the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Organization" which document is properly approved and filed with the office of the City Clerk hereinafter referred to as the "Water Quality Management Plan ". Said document and all of the notations, references and other information contained therein shall have the same force and effect as if fully set down herein and is hereby made a part of this Chapter by reference and incorporated herein as fully as if set forth herein at length. It shall be the responsibility of the City Clerk to maintain the Water Quality Management Plan and make the same available to the public. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The property is located north of Cliff Lake Road, west of Blackhawk Road and is within the 384 acre Eagan Hills West Planned Development that was created in 1979. The subject property is designated "high density 12 -16 units /acre" in the Planned Development Agreement. The agreement also states that the density can be lowered at the developers sole discretion. 31 3 Planning Report - Cliff Lake Townhomes March 22, 1994 Page 3 In 1991, the City Council approved a preliminary plat for a 13 building - 208 unit apartment project requested by Ventana Development Corporation. A final plat application was never submitted and the approval of the preliminary plat has lapsed. EXISTING CONDITIONS The vacant site is bordered on the east, west and south sides by streets. Scrub vegetation dominates the rolling terrain of the site although there are two wooded pockets and three wetlands. SURROUNDING USES The following uses, zoning and comprehensive plan designations surround the subject property: North - Highline Trail /Meadowland Park; zoned PK; designated P, Parks. South - Cliff Lake Centre (partially developed); zoned PD- CSC /RB /LB; designated CPD, Commercial PD. East - Blackhawk Road /I -35E West - Rahn School; zoned P, Public Facility; designated PF, Public Facility. EVALUATION OF REQUEST A. Final Planned Development - As part of the preliminary plat process specific use, site layout, landscaping, grading and utility plans will be identified. The Final Planned Development requires approval of the following Final Development Plans: Final Plat, Final Building Drawings, Final Site Plan and Final Landscape Plan; all of which is included in the Final Planned Development Agreement. This Agreement must be executed prior to final plat approval. • Final Plat: Final Plat will occur after the Development Contract is executed. * Final Building Drawings: Building elevations submitted show a maintenance free vinyl siding with no brick. This exterior is the same as that on the townhomes within Meaghan's Addition and meets City Code requirements although recent City policy has been to require some brick exterior. $ Final Site Plan: The Site Plan will be finalized prior to Final Plat approval. • Final Landscape Plan: The Landscape Plan will be revised prior Final plat approval. Planning Report - Cliff Lake Townhomes March 22, 1994 Page 4 B. Preliminary Plat Review. Density. The total site area is 23.45 acres which includes .56 acres of Blackhawk Road right -of -way the developer has petitioned the City to vacate as "excess ". The gross density of the proposed development is 6.82 units /acre. The net density (minus park dedication and wetlands) is 9.91 units /acre. Lots, The preliminary site plan is acceptable. The proposed preliminary plat includes 15 lots on 18.66 acres and one 4.79 acre outlot that will be dedicated to the City as park land. Setbacks. - All building, parking and drive aisle setback requirements are met. Phasing. - The developer is anticipating a two or three phase development that will start on the west side of the property and move east. Tree Preservation Policy - The Tree Preservation Plan submitted is acceptable, no replacement trees are necessary. A total of 160 significant trees are identified on the Tree Preservation Plan submitted. The Plan shows that site development (site grading, utility hook ups, parking lots, driveways and private streets) will result in the loss of 48 significant trees (30% of the total). Up to 30% of significant trees can be removed without triggering tree replacement. Landscaping - With minor revisions, the Landscape Plan submitted is acceptable. Grading - The preliminary grading plan is acceptable. The development incorporates the low lying drainage basins and the wooded knolls along the north side of Cliff Lake Road. A majority of the site will be disturbed by the grading required for the proposed developmen t. All or portions of three wetlands, totalling approximately 4.2 acres, lie within the proposed development. All of these wetlands are tied into the City storm sewer system and are still of reasonably good quality. The developer has accommodated requests by staff to modify the grading and site plans to avoid filling or draining any wetland areas on the site. However, grading contours lie very close to the delineated wetland edge for the wetlands associated with Ponds AP -24 and AP -22. Erosion control shall be placed along the edges of the wetlands prior to grading to protect the wetlands from erosion. Planning Report - Cliff Lake Townhomes March 22, 1994 Page 5 The preliminary grading plan shows that the 100 -year HWL for Pond AP -23 is at elevation 898.0. The grading plan shows a building on the west side of the pond with a slab elevation at 9003. To protect the building from flood damage during storms with a higher rainfall frequency than a 100 -year event or plugged storm sewers that drain the pond, the developer shall provide 3 feet of freeboard from the HWL to the lowest entry level of the building. Pond AP -24 is a land - locked pond that will not be able to have an emergency overland outlet. The pond is the lowest pond in the area. The 100 -year HWL of 878.8 for Pond AP- 24 is shown to be 7 feet lower than the proposed building to the west of the pond, and this should provide sufficient flood protection. There is a low point on Rahn Road 450 feet south of Shale Lane and the grading plan for this site shall provide an emergency overland outlet for this low point. The overland outlet shall be designed to allow only 18 inches of ponding in Rahn Road. The overland outlet will drain the excess surface water runoff that drains to Rahn Road to Pond AP -24. The preliminary grading plan proposes a 15 -foot high retaining wall along the south edge of Pond AP -22 to assist in the construction of the private driveway along the south edge of this pond. The grading plan is also proposing to construct a 20 -foot high retaining wall in the southeast corner of the site. The development is required to submit detailed plans and specifications of the proposed retaining wall construction for staff review prior to grading permit issuance. The developer proposes to protect and save the trees in two locations on this site. Approximately a 1.0 acre area of woods will be protected in the northeast corner of Pond AP -23, and 0.5 acres of woods will be saved in the southwest corner of Pond AP -23. An existing 18" trunk sanitary sewer drains through the site along the north property line. The development will be responsible for any damage done to the City's existing trunk sanitary sewer as a result of the development's activities. The design of the ponds along the trunk sanitary sewer line shall make sure that the sanitary sewer line is outside of the NWL of the ponds. Storm Drainage/Water Quality - The preliminary storm water drainage plan and Water Quality Management Plan is acceptable. The development will direct its surface water runoff to a series of ponds that lie in this development and the adjacent Meadowland Park property to the north. The ponds are identified as AP -22, AP -23 and AP -24 in the City's Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan. The ponds also receive runoff from the existing ponds in the I -35E right -of -way to the east; Shale Lane and Fox Ridge Court to the north; the vacant 15 acres of commercial zoned property to the south of Cliff Lake Road and west of Blackhawk Road; and Rahn Road and the park property to the west. Planning Report - Cliff Lake Townhomes March 22, 1994 Page 6 Pond AP -23 is located further upstream within the proposed development and is classified as a stormwater basin in the Water Quality Management Plan. This pond will receive runoff from about 4.5 acres of the site after development. The next pond down - drainage is Pond AP -22, which is classified as a scenic recreation waterbody because it is adjacent to a park. No stormwater from the site will be discharged directly to this pond. The furthest downstream pond is Pond AP -24, classified as a nutrient trap. Runoff from the remaining 14 acres of the development will be discharged to this pond prior to leaving the site. To prevent additional degradation to Pond AP -22, staff is recommending that Pond AP -23 immediately upstream be excavated to improve its pollutant removal efficiency. The amount of excavation required is estimated at 1.6 acre -feet. With this improvement, water quality treatment requirements for the development will be met. Utilities - The sanitary sewer and water main layout is acceptable. Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth have been provided to this development from the existing 18" or 15" trunk sanitary sewer line that runs along the north property line of the site, from a 10" line that runs through the center of the site and from an existing 18" line in Rahn Road. Water main of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is available to serve this development from an existing 16" trunk water main on Cliff Lake Drive and an existing 12" trunk water main in an easement that runs through the center of the site from Cliff Lake Drive to Beaver Dam Road. Staff recommends that the proposed sanitary sewer and water mains be installed in the parking and driveway areas whenever possible to improve access to the utility lines. Access /Circulation - The preliminary site plan is acceptable. Public street access to the site is available from Cliff Lake Road to the south, Rahn Road to the west and Blackhawk Road to the east. The preliminary site plan shows one access point to Cliff Lake Road, one access point to Rahn Road, and one access point to Blackhawk Road. The two existing driveway openings that were provided to this site when Cliff Road was built that will not be connected to shall be removed. Also, the existing center median opening on Cliff Lake Road located 300 feet east of Rahn Road shall be removed and a center island constructed across the opening. All streets or driveways within the plat are proposed to be privately owned and maintained. The private streets and driveways shall be constructed with poured in place concrete curb and gutter, and the drainage on the streets shall be directed into the gutter line and subsequently into an internal storm sewer system in accordance with City Code requirements. Planning Report - Cliff Lake Townhomes March 22, 1994 Page 7 The design of the street grades of the private streets shall not exceed a 10% slope and the street grade shall not be less than 0.5 %. At intersections, the street grade shall not exceed 3.0% for the first 100 feet. Concrete valley gutters will be required at intersections where the street or driveway openings connect to the City streets. Streetlights - The City will require that the continuous street lighting standard be maintained for this major collector street. The proposed driveway locations may altar the present continuous street lighting standards and several additional street lights may be required. The City will require a street light at the intersection of the proposed driveway entrance to Rahn Road. Easements /Right -Of- Way /Permits - No right -of -way for internal streets will be dedicated as part of the plat since all streets will be privately owned. No additional right -of -way along the existing streets are required. All required easements of sufficient width based on depth of utilities will be dedicated as part of the plat. In addition, drainage and utility easements for the proposed ponds will be dedicated as part of the plat. The developer intends to petition the City to vacate 60 feet of excess right -of -way along Blackhawk Road. The right -of -way for Blackhawk Road was obtained by MnDOT with the construction of Interstate 35 -E. MnDOT is in the process of turning back the right -of -way for Blackhawk Road to the City and the deeds have not been recorded with the County yet. The development will be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory agency permits (MPCA, MN Department of Health, MWCC, MNDoT, Corps of Engineers, MN DNR, etc.) are obtained prior to final plat approval. Parks and Recreation - The Advisory Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission (APRNRC) is recommending a park land dedication of the 4.79 acre Outlot A which will be combined with the High Line Trail and Meadowland park for open space purposes; providing an 8' bituminous trail connection between Cliff Lake Road and the Highline Trail within a 10' easement dedicated to the City; dedicate a 10' easement to the City for a foot path for proposed trail connection to Outlot A and a cash trails dedication. Planning Report - Cliff Lake Townhomes March 22, 1994 Page 8 C. Compatibility with Surrounding Area: The site is bounded by streets on three sides. The proposed medium density development will have Cliff Lake Road as a physical separation from the existing and future Cliff Lake Centre development to the south and a significant grade differential than Blackhawk Road /I -35E to the east. Rahn School is across Rahn Road from the west edge of the development and the impact to this area will be only visual because the school does take access from Rahn Road. Single family developments (Meadowland First Addition and Sun Cliff Additions) are separated from the northern boundary of the site by the 200' wide Highline Trail corridor and Meadowland Park. Given the proposed tree preservation efforts, park land dedication (Outlot A) and adjacent land uses, this proposal should be compatible with the surrounding area. D. On Site Improvements: The developer proposes 160 Court Homes that range in size from 1057 to 1216 s.f. with a base price from $65,000 - $80,000. Base price includes several amenities including two bedrooms (third bedroom available on end units), patio and attached garage. The buildings will be constructed with energy efficient features. The target market is 25 -34 years of age, generally first time home buyers. E. Summary /Conclusion: The developer has made revisions to the project layout resulting in the majority of the significant features on site being preserved. The proposed use and density is consistent with the Planned Development Agreement, zoning and guide plan designation.

Margaret Angle, 4340 Foxridge, stated she has concerns regarding the project's proposed access to Blackhawk Road. She stated that the access is just south of the Highline bike path causing safety concerns. She further stated that Blackhawk Road currently has heavy traffic and that the proposed project will only add more traffic. She requested that access be only from Cliff Lake Road. Ms. Angle further stated that she has concerns as to noise interference the project may have on her neighborhood. Page 26 /EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 Assistant City Engineer Foertsch stated that City staff examined and reviewed the access issues and have concluded that there is no safety issue with respect to the Blackhawk Road access. He added that the western access onto Blackhawk Road is on a crest of the hill thereby not impeding any visibility. Chairman Voracek inquired as to whether Beaver Dam Road is stubbed into Highline Trail and, if so, whether it can be removed. Community Development Director Reichert stated that City staff will research the issue and, if so, will recommend to vacate the street stub.

BACKGROUND Silver Bell 2nd has been before the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council earlier this year. After receiving Preliminary plat approval at the January 25, 1994 City Council meeting the applicant decided to withdraw that Preliminary plat and redesign it. Originally, the plat contained one lot and one large outlot; now the applicant has created one lot and two outlots. Staff has had discussions with Freightmasters regarding future developments of the northernmost outlot. Planning Report - Silver Bell 2nd Addition March 22, 1994 Page 3 A. Existing Conditions. • The site is vacant, with no trees and only grassy type vegetation. B. Surrounding Uses. The following uses, zoning, and comprehensive plan designations surround the subject site. North - Herrigan Distributors; zoned I -1; designated I -1. South - Silver Bell Apartments; zoned R-4; designated I -1. East - Vacant; zoned PD (Planned Development); designated I -1. West - Seneca Wastewater Treatment Facility; zoned I -1; designated I -1. EVALUATION OF REQUEST A. Preliminary Plat Review. Lot, Lot 1, Block 1 meets the minimum lot width and size requirements. The proposed lot is 1.48 acres. Outlot A is 12.17 acres and Outlot B is 13.48 acres Setbacks. The proposed 9,113 s.f. building meets all I -1 setback requirements as does the parking lot. On Site Development. The developer is proposing to construct a 9,113 s.f. building, 17 parking stalls have been proposed (1 handicap). Twenty -five additional parking spaces are shown on the site plan. If half of the building were to be used by a warehousing operation and the other half were to be used as office space the amount of parking is acceptable, or if the amount of warehousing square footage were to be increased. Only if the amount of office space is substantially increased would it be necessary to increase the amount of parking. The 9,113 s.f. building is to be constructed of a rock face block. Any rooftop mechanical equipment shall be designed to not be visible from any street right of way. No signage has been specified but will be subject to all Code requirements. The proposed plantings meet the Landscaping ordinance. Grading. The preliminary grading plan submitted with this application is acceptable. It shows that Lot 1 of Block 1 will be graded with this development and the outlots are not proposed to be graded at this time. The area of Lot 1 contains a small hill in the center of the site. Lot 2 will be graded with maximum cuts of 13 feet and maximum fills of 5 feet. The development will be responsible for installing and maintaining erosion control measures in accordance with the City's Erosion /Sediment Control Manual standards. Planning Report - Silver Bell Addition March 22, 1994 Page 4 Storm Drainage /Water Quality. Drainage from this development is shown to be directed to a proposed storm sewer system that will connect to an existing 33" storm sewer in Kennebec Drive. The existing storm sewer line in Kennebec Drive drains to an existing pond located in the northwest corner of Outlot A. The stormwater basin was constructed in 1987 by the City and the developer paid a portion of the cost of constructing this basin. Modeling indicates that the basin is large enough to adequately treat runoff from the small parcel currently being considered for plat approval. However, the basin is not of sufficient size to adequately treat runoff from other areas within the park when they develop. The pond which is not numbered is a pond in the City's Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan and has an existing 36" outlet which discharges into the wetlands along the west side of the MWCC Wastewater Treatment Plant. The water eventually drains overland to the Minnesota River. There are no water bodies below it that are classified for recreational purposes in the Eagan Water Quality Management Plan. However, the Nicols fen, Blackdog Creek (a tributary of the Minnesota River), and Ft. Snelling State Park all lie downstream of this industrial area. Because of the high value resources downstream and the opportunity to treat a reasonably large, intensively used area with a single pond system, staff will likely recommend expansion of this ponding facility as a condition of future plats for this industrial park. The proposed parking lot shall be designed to allow drainage to flow to the outside concrete curb and gutter which will convey the drainage to the proposed storm sewer system. Utilities. The utility layout plan submitted with this application is acceptable. Sanitary sewer of sufficient size, capacity and depth is readily available to serve this site from an existing 12" sanitary sewer line that was constructed by the City in the early 1970's in Kennebec Drive. When the City upgraded Kennebec Drive under City Project #495, an 8" PVC stub was provided to this site. The preliminary utility plan shows connecting to the 8" stub and extending a sanitary sewer service line to the proposed building. As shown on the preliminary utility plan, an 8" sanitary sewer shall be provided to Outlot A. Water main of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is available to serve this site from an existing 8" water line in Kennebec Drive that was constructed in 1987 under City Project #495.

Project Planner Tyree introduced this item. She stated that the applicant was requesting a preliminary plat of one lot and two outlots on 27.77 acres currently zoned I -I. She stated that the subject property is located on Outlots 2 and 3 of Silver Bell Addition along the northwest side of Kennebec Road in the southeast quarter of Section 18. She stated that the applicant received preliminary plat approval at the January 25, 1994, City Council meeting but the applicant withdrew the preliminary plat and redesigned it. She explained that the original plat contained one lot and one large outlot and the new design now created one lot and two outlots with the one lot moved southerly. She stated that the site is vacate with no trees and only grassy -type vegetation. Ms. Tyree further stated that the property is surrounded by Herrigan Distributors to the north; Silver Bell Apartments to the south; vacate Planned Development zoned property to the east; and Seneca Waste Water Treatment facility to the west. She stated that Lot 1, Block 1 meets the minimum lot width and size requirements. Ms. Tyree further stated that the developers are proposing to construct a 9,113 sq. ft. building with 17 parking stalls. She stated that all setback requirements and landscaping requirements meet code. The applicant's representative stated that the approved preliminary plat has been redesigned and now resubmitted for reapproval because the applicant found a new leasee of the proposed building to require a larger building and thus moved the building to a new location. Chairman Voracek questioned the notation in the staff report regarding grading on Lot 2. Project Planner Tyree stated that the report should read Lot 1, not Lot 2. Chairman Voracek further questioned the applicant regarding the applicant's proposal for the disposal of the black dirt currently on the property. The applicant stated that the dirt will be used for spreading and fill on other lots. Isberg moved, Wallace seconded, the motion to approve a Preliminary Plat consisting of one lot and two outlots on 25.65 LI (Light Industrial) acres located along Kennebec Drive in the SE 1/4 of Section 18, subject to the following conditions: Page 30 /EAGAN ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 22, 1994 1.

Secretary - Eagan Advisory Planning Commission Agenda Information Memo April 19, 1994 City Council Meeting LULL FINANCING OPTIONS J. Lull Financing DTED and St. Paul Port Authority Financing Options -- Efforts to secure financial assistance for the reestablishment of Lull Industries here in Eagan have been proceeding over the past several months. We have been pursuing the option of a grant from the Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) as well as long term fixed rate financing through the St. Paul Port Authority. The DTED has indicated that they are running out of funds in this grant program and the City will need to make application now if we want to secure a grant. There is no risk to the City in securing the grant and loaning the funds to Lull Industries. The repayment of the grant can be used to set up a revolving loan fund for the City. To secure this grant we need to have authorization to submit the grant as well as approval of revolving loan fund guidelines. The City's Economic Development Commission has been reviewing both the grant and the revolving loan funds and has approved the revolving loan criteria or guidelines in concept. At the time of the last EDC meeting we did not know that we had to move so rapidly on the actual grant submission. In terms of the loan through the St. Paul Port Authority there is some risk for the City in that the City must guarantee 10% of the loan value. The Port Authority will not approve a loan to Lull Industries without the City's authorization and approval. The City's guarantee is only during the first 5 years of the term of the loan. Kirk Duholm of the City's Economic Development Commission has done some preliminary review of credit worthiness of various documentation from the company. We are also coordinating our review of the credit worthiness of the company with the St. Paul Port Authority. They will be conducting very detailed and thorough credit and financial reviews before they will approve a final loan so that the City of Eagan can also use this information to be sure that we are loaning to a solvent operation. At this point, however, we need to be able to tell DTED how the other type of financing is proposed to be provided and that is through the St. Paul Port Authority. Therefore, at this time we are asking the City Council to consider authorizing application of the DTED grant as well as the revolving loan fund criteria and the use of St. Paul Port Authority f cing for Lull Jndustries. A more complete staff report on this is enclosed on pages� ./ through-2c. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the following: 1) The use of Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development's available grant money for Lull Industries and the submission of a final grant application therefore. 2) Approval of revolving loan fund criteria as set forth in the staff report. 3) Approval of St. Paul Port Authority financing for Lull Industries in the amount of $3,000,000. TO: Eagan City Council Members THROUGH:. Peggy Reichert, Community Development Director FROM: Kim Eggers, Project Planner DATE: April 13, 1994 SUBJECT: Financing Options for Lull Corporation INTRODUCTION MEMO city of eagan The purpose of this document is to provide information for the City Council regarding the current situation of the Lull Industries property on Highway 13, as well as to receive approval or denial on financing options and revolving loan fund criteria. The City is in the process of applying for a grant /loan from the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED). The purpose of this financial assistance would be to assist the Badger R. Bazen Company in acquiring and remodeling the Lull buildings and grounds. Badger R. Bazen has also applied for financing assistance from the St. Paul Port Authority. This loan must also receive approval from the City of Eagan. The deadline for application for the DTED funding is May 1, 1994. BACKGROUND Badger R. Bazen Company, Inc. is a truck manufacturing firm from Johnsonville, South Carolina. In the past, the company was in the business of leasing Lull rough terrain telescoping forklifts, as well as other makes and models of heavy machinery. Recently, Lull Industries came up for auction, and Badger R. Bazen acquired the Lull manufacturing plant in Waterloo, Iowa. Badger R. Bazen would now like to move all operations from the Waterloo site to the Eagan site. The Badger R. Bazen Company is currently producing Lull vehicles at the Eagan plant, and using the Lull Industries name. Badger R. Bazen has already acquired the capital equipment at the Eagan site, and is still negotiating for acquisition of the Lull building and property. If incentives can be generated, the property can be acquired, and the renovations made, Badger R. Bazen will permanently move manufacturing operations of Lull vehicles to Eagan. L3(-7 FINANCING ASSISTANCE ENTITIES Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development The Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development offers an Economic Development Program which enables cities to obtain grant money in order to offer relatively low- interest, Tong -term loans to cities for new or expanding businesses. The Economic Development grant that Eagan is currently applying for on behalf of Lull Industries is money that is generated through the Economic Recovery Fund appropriated by the State Legislature. The funds would be a grant to the City that can be loaned to businesses for start-up or expansion purposes. Staff has completed the preliminary application, and is in the last stages of completing the final application which will potentially enable us to procure these funds for Lull Industries. The loan can be used for land, building, or equipment, at an interest rate that is negotiable and determined by the City. Terms for machinery and equipment are up to 10 years, and terms for real estate and renovation are up to 20 years. Cities who receive these grants typically finance the loan receiver at a rate of 4% to 7% interest. Approval for the Economic Development Grant is based on the project's ability to meet a minimum score based on private investment and the number of jobs created or retained. DTED has the approval authority for all requests. If the application is approved, the funds would be used chiefly for renovation of the Lull building. To summarize, these funds would be a grant to the City of Eagan, which we in turn would borrow to Lull Industries for an interest rate to be determined by the City Council. Loan payments received by Eagan would be used to establish a revolving loan fund to assist other businesses in the future. In the event of default on the loan, the City would be responsible for attempting to collect as much of the funding as possible. Beyond this, Eagan has no liability, as we are not required to reimburse the State for any of the grant money. As part of the DTED Community Development application process, the City of Eagan is required to establish guidelines for the administration of a Revolving Loan Fund. The money in the Fund would be raised through payments of the Lull Industries loan. This Fund would then be used to monetarily assist business in Eagan that would meet the criteria established by the City Council. The City needs to establish policies to govern the fund, how the fund will be administered, and a proposal for reuse of the funds. Attached in the Appendix are guidelines from the City of Pipestone's Revolving Loan Fund. They have been adapted to the City of Eagan's requirements, but can be further refined for approval by the City Council. It should be noted that the Revolving Loan Fund would not be utilized until repayment begins on the DTED grant. Any criteria can also be amended by the Eagan City Council at any time in the future. J St. Paul Port Authority The St. Paul Port Authority's Business Development Financing Program focuses on single user, single ;story manufacturing facilities such as the Lull Industries. Loans from the Port Authority are primarily used for financing real estate needs, new construction, and /or renovation of existing facilities. Equipment purchases can also be included as part of the package. The Port Authority loan amounts range from $700,000 to $5,000,000, and have a maximum loan -to -value ratio of 90 %. The Port Authority offers Tong -term, fixed -rate financing for up to 30 years. The interest rates may be slightly higher than a company may be able to get at a bank, but the term is much longer than is available through a commercial lending facility. The loan would not be granted to Lull Industries without the express approval of the Eagan City Council. The Business Development Financing Program was originally only available in the City of St. Paul, but has recently been expanded to serve Ramsey, Washington, and Dakota Counties. If the Lull Industries financing is approved, it will be the first loan that the Port Authority has made outside of the City of St. Paul. If the loan is approved by the Eagan City Council, and authorized by the St. Paul Port Authority, the City would be responsible for guaranteeing 10% of the loan. Repayment of the loan over the first five years of the term would negate the city's obligation. The EDC suggested that it may be possible to mitigate the financial risk by obtaining additional guarantees, such as a Letter of Credit, from the borrower. Lull Industries has formally requested a loan from the St. Paul Port Authority in the amount of $3,000,000. The proceeds from the loan will be used to fund four major projects. $1,800,000 will be used to acquire the 28 acres of property and improvements, $500,00 will be used for repair and renovation of the Lull buildings, $575,000 would be used for equipment acquisition, and the remaining $125,000 would be used for the relocation of factory equipment and inventory from Waterloo, Iowa. Again, the St. Paul Port Authority has made it very clear that they cannot and will not proceed with this loan without the express approval of the City of Eagan. The risks of approving a St. Paul Port Authority loan for any business include the fact that the City must guarantee 10% of the loan. If the business should default on the loan in the first five years of the loan term, the City would still be responsible for this amount. However, the City of Eagan's obligation would disappear after the first five years. After this time, the City will not be responsible for the guarantee. The benefits of approving such a loan include increased taxes generated by the business, as well as assistance of a business whose building has been vacant for the past several years, and would undoubtedly remain vacant should Lull Industries leave the City. The company will be undertaking major renovation of an almost 40 year old building, and future expansion of the existing building is expected. The Port Authority staff will be taking the Lull proposal to their Board next month. Detailed final financial checks will be done at that time. J�� CONCLUSION The approval of the aforementioned financing options would allow the City of Eagan to establish its own loan program for Eagan businesses. The City is already receiving a number of requests for available incentives. Staff will be forwarding the completed Community Development application to DTED next week for approval. If approved, the grant would be awarded to the City someiime this summer. On March 31, 1994, the EDC made a recommendation to the City Council to approve the general idea of assisting Eagan businesses through the St. Paul Port Authority and the State Department of Trade and Economic Development. REQUESTED ACTION The City Council is requested to approve or deny the following: 1. The use of the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development's available grant money for Lull Industries. 2. The attached Revolving Loan Fund Criteria necessary for the approval of the DTED grant. 3. The use of St. Paul Port Authority financing assistance for Lull Industries. I. Background APPENDIX REVOLVING LOAN FUND GUIDELINES CITY OF EAGAN Revolving loan funds (RLF's) have become an increasingly popular business financing tool because of their ability to leverage public and private dollars and recycle funds as well as their flexible design and simple operation. RLF's provide firms with direct loans, loan guarantees and other financial assistance. As the RLF receives the principal and interest from outstanding loans, the money is made available to another borrower. This recycling of funds makes RLF's particularly valuable in light of the growing scarcity of development funds. RLF's are designed to alleviate the high cost and short supply of capital for urban businesses by providing flexible loan terms. Typically, RLF's lower the rate, lengthen the term, or reduce the risk of a loan. By increasing accessibility to capital, RLF's help firms expand, develop or remain in urban areas. By providing critical subordinate financing for a loan package instead of 100 percent direct financing, RLF's are an effective tool for leveraging. RLF loans are typically combined with other public or private dollars. II. Operating Basis The following are key factors in operating a successful RLF. 1. Reduce political influences on the loan selection process as much as possible. 2. Simplify the RLF loan terms and conditions as well as the approval process so that they do not seem complicated, time consuming or cumbersome to the applicants. 3. Design loan terms and conditions that allow the City to assume greater risks than those private lending institutions are willing to take, but do not make them so risky that the City assumes bad debts. 4. Allow for flexibility in establishing loan terms and conditions to tailor loans to the needs of individual firms. 5. Establish clear goals and objectives for the RLF. 6. Establish and maintain a good working relationship with local private financial institutions. 7. Structure the RLF loan committee and other advisory bodies to include representatives and officials interested in the RLF. X71 8. Operate the RLF in a businesslike and professional manner. 9. Eliminate or reduce federal requirements with which clients must comply. The following are types of financial assistance that can be given to encourage economic development: 1. Make companion or second loans, which can reduce the overall project interest rate; 2. Give direct loans at favorable interest rates and terms; 3. Guarantee loans made by private lenders; 4. Provide the required local injection for SBA 503 loans; 5. Arrange interest subsidies together with private lenders; 6. Provide for principal reductions together with private lenders; 7. Give direct grants (i.e. infrastructure) 8. Provide collateral for private financing. III. Targeted Areas within the City of Eagan 1. Industrial zoned districts 2. Other Commercial zoned districts 3. Other business districts (PUD's, Cedarvale, etc.) IV. Types of Assistance - in Order of Priority 1. Existing business expansion. Defined as industrial /commercial related expansion and costs related thereto including land and building acquisition and construction, remodeling, relocation, equipment acquisition, public facilities improvements. 2. Business equipment acquisition. Defined as the purchase of additional depreciable assets for the purpose of expanding industrial /commercial activities. 3. Development of new business. Defined as the establishment of new, non - competitive industrial commercial business in all phases, including land and building acquisition and construction, remodeling, and equipment acquisition. V. Criteria for the Use of RLF Proceeds 1. Applicants equity participation must equal at least 5% of the total fixed -asset costs of the project. 2. Loans will be in a junior collateral position to the major source of project financing, unless RLF proceeds are the primary source of funds. 3. Terms of the loan should coincide with the term of the private portion of the loan, but may be shorter or longer depending on the circumstances. 4. The interest rate of the direct RLF loan should be approximately four to five points below the going Treasury Note rate. 5. The applicant must meet the underwriting criteria of the private financial institution participating in the project. 6. The job /cost ratio for each project should be approximately $5,000 per job. 7. Eligible costs include land, real estate, machinery and equipment. Assets pledged as collateral must be approved by both the City and the participating private financial institutions. 8. RLF proceeds cannot be used to transfer ownership through acquisition of fixed assets unless the transfer results in a physical remodeling or expansion project approved by the City. 9. The minimum leverage ratio should be 2 to 1, private debt to RLF debt. 10. If the RLF proceeds are in the form of a principal reduction or interest write -down, 100% of the proceeds need to be repaid. The maximum subsidy payment period will be three (3) years. An additional two (2) years of repayment deferral may be given. Interest will be charged at a minimum rate of 3% on the two -year deferral period. There will be no accrued interest on the principal for the subsidy payment period. The rate upon repayment will be six (6) points below the going Treasury Note rate. In any event, the rate would not be Tess than 6 %. 11. The maximum RLF money in each project will be $25,000. VI. Other Requirements 1. Applicant must provide current records in a form acceptable to the City. 2. Applicant must provide valid bids for the work or equipment proposed. 3. The City must have available to it projections or pro -forma to support repaymentability. 3 7 't is 190 . 2.42,12/101 00 'G1 *ow 110'92 - 0011 s — b _— _ II641 1p 9 N : • oil • 11;2, f e40 Y Y y 3A1813 ab' A , a rSR _ '� M31A33I1D°°71 016 R 1 01121 r 001 00 1 1 620.0 X 00} ar 1i MUD .092 W N 4 41 00 G2i ... 39,00.0 N 39.106)0 19 00,.00 12 00 001 1; --, 5123126!113 I 00 1 I .
