After brief introductions by Mayor Egan and City Administrator Hedges, Water Quality Coordinator
Rich Brasch introduced Greg McNally, an Eagle Scout candidate who will be leading a volunteer effort by Boy
Scout Troop 510 in painting informative stencils near catch basins in the City. Mr. McNally described the
stencils and their illustration of the connection between the City's lakes and the storm sewer system that feeds
them. He also discussed his Ieadership role in the project. Mr. Brasch pointed out that while the City would
provide the materials, Troop 510's efforts would result in a savings to the City of 60 person days. The City

efforts.

Councilmember McCrea wished to discuss Item B, Extension of the Agreement with the City insurance
representative and questioned whether it was a violation of policy. City Administrator noted for the record that
the insurance representative provides a service and is, therefore, exempt from the bid process.
Director of Finance VanOverbeke said it is not the insurance costs we are dealing with but only the
agent. He said First Insurance, when first retained in 1989, had the most government experience and Mr.
VanOverbeke said he believes they still provide the best value. If the City Council does not wish to extend the
contract for three years, he suggested a one year estension with review at the end of that time. The Council
agreed and the item was changed to reflect a one year extension.
In regard to Item C, Resolution Supporting MVTA Midday Bus Service From Eagan to the Mall of
America, Councilmember Awada asked several questions about transit funding for outlying suburbs.
Councilmember Wachter indicated he would vote no on Item F, Resolution for Nitti Disposal Temporary
Conditional Use Permit.
Director of Public Works Colbert addressed Item 3, Administrative Agenda, Project #636, Receive
Petition /Authorize Feasibility Report (Poppler Addition - Streets and Storm Sewer). Mr. Colbert said that
normally items such as this are placed on the Consent Agenda for approval. However, staff is looking to require
financial guarantees to cover the cost of the feasibility report if the project does not go forward. He estimated
that it will cost the City approximately $1,300 to prepare the feasibility report and that they anticipate some
objections to the project.
Mayor Egan said he had talked to Larry Poppler and the petitioner had expressed some concerns about
the cost of the project as well as indicating that the project may not go forward if the project proves too costly.
The Council agreed that some type of escrow fund may be in order but because the petitioner was not present,
deferred action to the end of the meeting.

RATIFICATION /MEGHAM'S ADDITION
DENIAL RESOLUTION .
Mayor Egan introduced this item as consideration of ratification of Meghan's Addition denial
resolution /presentation of survey results, Pulsar, Inc. City Administrator Hedges presented a history of the item
and indicated that a letter had been received from Pulsar, Inc., requesting the Council delay action on the item
until a survey of the neighboring property owners could be completed.
Mark Parranto, representing Pulsar, Inc., said that at the original hearing before the City Council, a
resident presented a petition containing "150 names." He indicated that the applicants' felt the petition had a
significant impact on the City Council's decision but when Pulsar obtained a copy, they found that it did not
contain 150 names, but 70.
Pulsar then surveyed 175 of the neighboring residents and as of June 1, 66 surveys had been returned.
Mr. Parranto said their survey indicated 54 of the 66 would prefer multifamily to commercial at this location.
He said at least eight of the families who said they would prefer multifamily had indicated otherwise on the
original petition. In addition, of the 18 families immediately adjacent to the proposed development, 8 answered
the petition and 3 of those were now in favor of the development.
Mr. Parranto said that as a result of the survey, Pulsar, Inc., had prepared a new site plan. The pond
was relocated and the buildings were rearranged and moved as far from. the single family homes as possible.
Mr. Parranto asked the Council for reconsideration of the denial of the comprehensive guide plan amendment
for the Meghan's Addition.
Mayor Egan asked Mr. Parranto what the setbacks from the property line were for the new plan as
compared to the plan presented at the April 9 meeting. Mr. Parranto said that the setbacks were 50' to 60'
previously but were 70' to 140' on this plan. In answer to a question, Mr. Parranto indicated they have not gone
to the County regarding an access onto Diffley Road.
Councilmember McCrea said that in light of the information presented and because of changes to the
project, she would be willing to reconsider denial of the comprehensive guide plan amendment. Mayor Egan
recommended that the issue be taken back to the Advisory Planning Commission for public hearing to enable
residents to give testimony. Councilmember McCrea asked Mr. Parranto if it would jeoparize the project if it
were referred back to the Advisory Planning Commission. Mr. Parranto admitted that it would be difficult to
Page 5 /EAGAN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
June 2, 1992
get the project "in the ground this year" if they were required to go back to the APC. In addition, Mr. Parranto
said he appreciated the reconsideration but if the Council was going to vote to reconsider and then deny the
project again, he would like to know now. Councilmember Pawlenty advised Mr. Parranto that if he did not wish
to go through the Advisory Planning Commission's public hearing process, without the AFC's recommendation,
the Councilmember would be inclined to vote no.
Discussion then ensued as to the timing of the APC hearing and this item's return to the City Council
for consideration. Because notice requirements could not be met for the June 16 regular City Council meeting,
the earliest possible Council date would be July 7. Therefore, returning to the Planning Commission for a public
hearing would not delay the Council's consideration of the project.
McCrea moved, Wachter seconded, a motion to reconsider the denial of a Comprehensive Guide Plan
Amendment for the Meghan's Addition based on new information presented by the developer as well as a new
site plan and direct the Advisory Planning Commission to hold a new public hearing based on the revised
proposal. Aye: 3 Nay: 2 ( Awada & Pawlenty)
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT /EAGAN AUTO MALL PARTNERSHIP
Mayor Egan introduced this item as reconsideration of the denial of a Conditional Use Permit for Eagan
Auto Mall Partnership, to allow an automobile service station in a CSC (Community Shopping Center) District
on Lot 1, Block 1, Town Centre 70 Sixth Addition located along Town Centre Drive in the NW 1/4 of Section
15. City Attorney Sheldon said the Council had agreed to reconsider this issue at their May 20 regular City
Council meeting and scheduled consideration of the conditional use permit for this meeting.
Councilmember Wachter asked a question regarding outside storage. He said a reference was made
in the Planning report that "no more than 12 customer vehicles will be parked outside." The Councilmember
said that the applicant had indicated at the last meeting that all vehicles would be stored inside. The issue was
clarified with Condition #1 of the Planning Commission minutes providing for "no outside storage."
Mayor Egan noted a past precedent that was not brought to the attention of the City Council at the last
meeting and which narrowed the discretion the Council had in interpreting what an auto body service center is.
He said that in light of this information, he was inclined to believe the Council was on tenuous ground to support
their last action not because he liked or had less concerns about the aesthetics of the auto mall but because he .
believed the City Council had already established a precedent.
Charles Bartholdi, representing Federal Land Company, asked that they be permitted to see the new
information and make comments; however, if the City Council approved the permit, he hoped they would limit
it to this applicant. In addition, he noted a concern that ABRA would not limit their repairs to small repairs.
Mayor Egan observed that conditional use permits run with the land and asked the City Attorney if the
Council could restrict the permit to one applicant. City Attorney Sheldon said that ABRA had indicated they
would be willing to make that restriction a part of the conditions. Bob Hoffmann, attorney representing Eagan
Auto Mall, said they would agree to restricting the conditional use permit to this applicant.
Awada moved, Egan seconded, a motion to reconsider the denial of the conditional use permit for the
Eagan Auto Mall Partnership. Aye: 5 Nay: 0
Awada moved, Pawlenty seconded, a motion to direct the preparation of a conditonal use permit for
the Eagan Auto Mall Partnership to allow an automobile service station in a CSC (Community Shopping Center)
District on Lot 1, Block 1, Town Centre 70 - Sixth Addition, located along Town Centre Drive in the NW 1/4
of Section 15. Aye: 5 Nay: 0

DAKOTA COUNTY CIP
Mayor Egan introduced this item as a review of Dakota County's proposed five -year Capital
Improvement Program (1993 - 1997).
Director of Public Works Colbert noted that the County and City Capital Improvement Programs were
in sync with few exceptions. He explained that the intersection of Yankee Doodle Road and T.H. 149 was
unique, however, in that it involved the State, County and City. He went on to explain the various options
available to the City regarding the intersection with a final recommendation to schedule signalization for 1994
when Yankee Doodle Road is upgraded. While it will result in the loss of State design fees of $7,00049,000 by
not waiting for the State's recommended signalization in 1995, it appears to be the most prudent option.
Mr. Colbert advised that staff is not recommending any changes to the County's bikeway or road
programs; however, in addition to the signal at Yankee Doodle Road and T.H. 149, they are recommending the
following changes in signalization: 1) Cliff Road and T.H. 3 - 1994; Pilot Knob Road and Towerview Road -
1993; and Diffley Road and Rahn Road - 1996.
Resident David Mann asked if the City installed the signal at Yankee Doodle Road and T.H. 149 in
1992, whether the State would reimburse the City in 1995. Mr. Colbert said it was not State policy to do so.
Mr. Mann said that in view of the number of accidents at this intersection, he would appreciate any help the City
could provide in speeding up the process. Mayor Egan said that if possible the City would, although it probably
would not be wise without State and /or County participation.
Councilmember Awada suggested that if the only loss to the City for moving up the installation of a
signal at Yankee Doodle Road and T.H. 149 was the design fee, it could be done in 1994.
Awada moved, McCrea seconded, a motion to accept the Dakota County 5 -Year Capital Improvement
Plan (1992 -1995) as amended with the proviso that if State design fees amount to more than $9,000 for the
signalization of Yankee Doodle Road and T.H. 149, staff will bring the issue back to the City Council. Aye:
5 Nay: 0
SPECIAL USE PERMIT /SS MARTHA & MARY CHURCH
Mayor Egan introduced this item as a Special Use Permit for Ss. Martha and Mary Church to allow a
temporary vegetable stand on an unplatted piece of property located on Parcel #10 -02300 -016 -54 in the SW 1/4
of Section 23. Director of Community Development Runkle explained the application and its location.
Reverend George Martin said Gary Pahl had approached the church with a proposal to locate a
vegetable stand on church property. Reverend Martin said access to the property would be worked out with the
County. He said they had talked to the neighbors and none were opposed. Reverend Martin also asked that
the closing date be moved to October 31, 1992, to allow the sale of pumpkins.
McCrea moved, Wachter seconded, a motion to approve a special use permit for Ss. Martha and Mary
Church to allow a temporary vegetable stand on unplatted church property and subject to the following

on Trotters Ridge for Lot 12, Block 2, Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition in the NE 1/4 of Section 23. Director of
Community Development Runkle reviewed the application and noted that the house would fit on the lot if the
house were shifted.
The applicant was not present.
After discussion, Egan moved, McCrea seconded, a motion to deny a variance of 5' to the 30' setback
from Trotter's Ridge for Jeff and Diane Osterhaues on Lot 12, Block 2, Bridle Ridge 2nd Addition, citing a lack
of demonstrated hardship or practical necessity. Aye: 5 Nay: 0

location. Mr. Runkle said agreement had been reached on the condition dealing with signage and two building
mounted signs and an update of the existing pylon sign would be permitted.
Director of Public Works Colbert addressed a recommendation to remove curbing located in the parking
lot's interior to aid two -way traffic. The attorney for Tires Plus said they had just become aware of the condition
but were not opposed to it.

Administrator Hedges said the applicant would be relocating operations from the current County yard waste
compost site near the Municipal Center to a private sector site as a part of the County's overall effort to privatize
the yard waste management program. Mr. Hedges said the Municipal Center site will continue to operate
temporarily with an orderly transition to the new site during June and July. Director of Community
Development Runkle reported that one of the Advisory Planning Commission's concerns regarded the renewal
and time frame for the conditional use permit, however, agreement had been reached with the applicant for a
five year limit with annual review.
Richard Picar said the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency had visited the new site and issued a permit.
He also indicated that the APC had recommended an interim landscaping plan because of the pending
reconstruction of Yankee Doodle Road.
Councilmember Awada asked a County representative about environmental testing near the Gopher
Smelting property. John Springsted of the environmental staff said they had performed lead tests in April.
While the results have not been fully analyzed, he noted that lead levels dropped as they got further away from
the facility. He said that MPCA remediation levels are 300 parts per million and all tests indicated levels well
below that figure. Mr. Springsted said that the compost would be essentially uncontaminated by lead. Mr.
Springsted went on to say that the April testing had centered around soil lead, however, air quality monitoring
had been on -going since 1983.
John Tapper of Gopher Smelting said that the County study would be completed within 3 -6 months.
In addition, air quality monitoring has indicated levels well within EPA guidelines.
