(I'his item was movedforward to accommodate the audience).
b) St. Michael's Church Property -Administration
Mr. Robert Vogel, Consultant to the Heritage Preservation Commission presented
a report from the HPC's last meeting regarding the St. Michael's Church property
and other religious properties and historic buildings in Farmington. The City is
committed to historic preservation, which it interprets as providing a form of
special protection through zoning to significant historic resources. The City is not
committed to protecting everything that is old. The primary reason to afford
protection to these resources is so they can be used for useful purposes and
functional. In the case of the St. Michael's Church property, it has been
recognized as a potential heritage landmark. A report prepared in 1998 singled it
out as a property worth considering, and it is also specified in the City's
Comprehensive Plan. When the church was vacated, the HPC became interested
in the future of the property. There was a consensus that it was historic and
eligible for some kind of protective coverage under city ordinance. It was unclear
as to how it could be used. The HPC recommended the City undertake a reuse
study, which is done to assess a particular building. The City administratively did
not pursue that, possibly because of traditional shyness of government entities to
become involved with religious properties. There was a presumption that filtered
to the HPC about the City's official involvement in the disposition of the church
property. There were meetings between interested parties and City staff, but there
was no real game plan that involved the HPC. It was assumed at some point
someone would come forward with a use for the property and at that time the
HPC would become involved. Within the last few weeks, the HPC became
concerned due to news articles about the sale and redevelopment of the property.
The HPC does not think there has been enough discussion at the policy making
level about what the impact would be if the church building itself was gone.
Also, what will happen to the other church properties in Farmington? The HPC
does not see where this has been discussed. There could be a radical change in
the property without any public discussion. The HPC does not think all of the
reuse alternatives have been examined. It is in the City's interest to take time out
to allow for discussion regarding what to do with religious buildings and how
important is it that the St. Michael's Church remain standing. There is concern
the building could disappear before any of these discussions take place. The HPC
is asking for authorization to work with City staff to assemble a task force to look
at church related properties, and come up with a vision as to how the City regards
them as community assets. And also a time out for demolition to occur on any
historic buildings as a temporary measure during discussions.
Mayor Ristow asked 19 months ago the HPC looked at this? Mr. Vogel replied
the HPC asked the City to authorize the reuse study which would have involved
37/
Council Minutes (Regular)
March 4, 2002
Page 3
City administrative staff to do, and possibly outside architectural help. The HPC
had identified experts both inside the City and outside who were willing to
participate; however a reuse study was not done. Mayor Ristow inquired about
buildings 50 years or older. Does that include all buildings, including houses?
Mr. Vogel replied yes, the 6-month figure for a moratorium on demolition for
these buildings was based on his experience. Mayor Ristow then asked about the
reuse of the building. Mr. Vogel replied the building could be used for another
church organization, or converted to housing, office space, commercial space, art
centers or museums.
Councilmember Soderberg asked about a statement in Mr. Vogel's report,
"However, by ordinance the HPC must be allowed a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment on development projects that may impact a significant
historic property - which I interpret to mean any building with preservation value
(regardless of its landmark status) within the visual area of potential effects."
Councilmember Soderberg asked what the visual area of potential effects
includes. Mr. Vogel replied it is the area within the view shed, when standing in a
particular spot what do you see. The visual effects on historic properties are just
as important as the direct ones. Councilmember Soderberg asked about
designating historic landmarks. He felt as long as the landowner is willing to
participate, that is something Council would move forward on. Mr. Vogel replied
there must be a partnership between the owner and the City with that designation.
Councilmember Soderberg then asked regarding the 6-month moratorium for
demolition on all buildings 50 years or older, if that would be an ongoing
moratorium for all applications or from today's date through 6 months from now.
Mr. Vogel replied it would be from today's date. This is an unusual situation
because of the City's shyness in getting involved 2 years ago. Councilmember
Soderberg stated Mr. Vogel alluded to the shyness in getting involved. Was that a
recommendation by the HPC to Council or an administrative recommendation?
Mr. Vogel stated it was a recommendation to the Council. The HPC understands
what Council receives comes through the staff process. Councilmember
Soderberg stated that when there is a Council appointed advisory board that
makes a recommendation to Council, he wants to see that recommendation. Some
of this could have been avoided if that had taken place.
Councilmember Soderberg then asked Father Gene Pouliot regarding the alternate
uses of the church. Father Gene was attending on behalf of the parish along with
parish trustees, John Frank and Gem Jolley, and administrator Steve Hofer. They
are also interested preserving the heritage of Farmington. Father Gene stated
during the past 2 1/2 years they have exhausted all means of preserving the
church, including discussions with the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota and the
Dakota County Community Development Agency. Discussions were also held
with other churches, school district, the City of Farmington, arts council,
redevelopment investors for multi and single family dwellings, small businesses
and a host of property developers. Due to construction of a new church, it is
prudent the church entertains any reasonable offer to purchase the property to
meet their financial obligations. Without the sale of the entire property, they
would not be successful in funding the construction of the new facility.
Farmington Development Company was the first to approach them with a
37~
Council Minutes (Regular)
March 4, 2002
Page 4
purchase agreement. The church was initially contacted by the company two
years ago, and declined further discussion in anticipation of selling to an
organization that would retain the existing structure. Although St. Michael's is
not in favor of demolition, this may be necessary in order to sell the property.
The vast majority of church members they have heard from concur with this
direction. Universal catholic church law states the church should be demolished
so it does not get into the wrong hands for inappropriate use. The church has
preserved several stained glass windows, the statues, the bell, and a number of
devotional items. Should demolition occur, the church would be happy to help
the HPC in efforts to preserve a historical record of the structure by making their
archives available. Councilmember Soderberg asked if the church would have
any objection to an arts center or senior use. Father Gene replied that would be
acceptable.
Councilmember Cordes stated Mr. Vogel said that with preservation in the
downtown area, the property owners have taken an interest. The church has
exhausted all possibilities. If the property owner is unable to take it on, she does
not know how the City can take on that project. Father Gene stated they have
tried for 2 1/2 years to save it. Councilmember Strachan stated if the HPC's
request is granted, and a study is done, the church's concern is that the building be
demolished, and whatever replaces it is consistent with the neighborhood. If it is
not demolished the church wants to make sure there are some controls over the
use of the church. Councilmember Cordes stated that by placing a 6-month
moratorium on demolition how does that affect the sale that is already started?
Mr. John Frank stated that would put a significant financial strain on the church.
They would like to proceed with the sale of the property. Mayor Ristow asked if
there was a contingency with the sale. Mr. Frank replied the only contingency is
that the City approves the plans. Mayor Ristow stated that could take more than 6
months. Mr. Frank stated if there is a contingency with a date then they could
revisit the date and negotiate.
Councilmember Soderberg stated we are discussing preservation vs. demolition.
To loose the structure and what it has meant to the community would be a tragic
loss. If someone were to come forward and preserve it somehow to a use that
would be honoring and right for the community, that person would be perceived
as a hero and would be leaving a significant mark on the City. If the building is
demolished, the persons involved in that might not be perceived so highly.
Preserving the building is greater than a single entity it requires multiple entities.
Mayor Ristow was concerned about what kind of disruption it would be for the
area. Time is needed to study plans. Councilmember Strachan asked if the time
frame were shorter than 6 months, what would that do to the process. Mr. Vogel
replied that the 6-month time line reflects more how the moratorium would affect
other developments in the community. Councilmember Strachan stated there are
three prongs to this issue. The first is to demolish or not to demolish. The second
is the preservation of the historic building. The third is linked to the Lutheran
church nearby and how all of this affects the neighborhood. If it were a shorter
period can we accomplish those goals? Mr. Vogel replied in three months we
could complete the study to look at all historic religious properties and identify
what role they play and what are the preservation issues, and reuse issues. We
373
Council Minutes (Regular)
March 4, 2002
Page 5
could do a reuse assessment of St. Michael's in that time. We could gather the
information that a development entity that specializes in those kinds of properties
could give you. Once the wrecking ball goes into play, you do not have a second
chance. This building has not gotten a second or third chance like the exchange
bank building received. The study will be done in whatever amount of time
Council allows. What should be looked at quickly is what role could the City
have in not just the St. Michael's property but other historic properties. A study
could be done in three months and then you could say the City has done its part.
Councilmember Strachan stated no one wants to go through the motions without
positive results. At the same time we want to have our eyes open as to what the
process is and to what is going to be there. The community also needs to be
respectful of the church and their plans. Councilmember Cordes stated the
Catholic Church made a conscious decision to build a new church knowing full
well that building may come down. Would we be having this same discussion if
they had decided to add on to the church which would have changed the look of
the building. She would like to see the church stay, but it comes down to
landowner's rights and privileges. Putting a 6-month moratorium on development
in that area, at the end of 6 months are we going to find someone who will
preserve the building? The City cannot put money up front to preserve the
building. Mayor Ristow asked if the HPC would also be involved in the Lutheran
church. Mr. Vogel replied he assumes we would meet with the same group of
people involved in this church to make sure we identify all the interested parties
and construct some way for them to see the information the staff gathers.
Councilmember Cordes asked about the building designated as heritage
landmarks. The owners have undertaken all of the preservation without any City
involvement. Mr. Vogel stated there were originally five landmarks. The Lyric
Theatre building was withdrawn, as the owners, Premier Bank, could not
guarantee they would have an interest in preserving it. The bank needs space, not
that particular building. There is a way to get the bank what it wants and still
have the building for another use. The City won't preserve anything; it is the
people that own the buildings. Councilmember Strachan stated the motion before
us does not designate the building as a landmark, only that it meets the criteria.
Mr. Vogel stated there is one task that is not subject to Council consent and that is
the HPC's determination that something meets the criteria. It is Council's decision
as to whether to go with the designation or not.
Acting City Attorney Matt Brokl stated you have before you a proposal that is two
pronged. You have a proposal to look at churches within the City as to historic
designation. The moratorium for that purpose would be to study the uses. That is
legally doable. The other prong is that you have a specific plan for a specific
property with a specific property owner, St. Michael's Church. The City
Attorney's office would not be supportive of the Council moving forward and we
do not believe it would be a good idea at this time to invoke a moratorium that
would affect the St. Michael's property. Again, 19 months ago a moratorium that
affected the property would have been appropriate. At this time the property
owner has told you they have entered into a contract for the sale of this property.
They told you they would be economically impacted by any type of delay.
Financially they have an interest and they have a contract. At this time it would
3"7'1
Council Minutes (Regular)
March 4, 2002
Page 6
not be the City's intent to interfere with a contract, nor would it be feasible to put
a momtorium in place as to that property at this time. As to other properties, it
does make sense and also to move forward with a study. Perhaps the City could
look at this as a wake up call to other properties in town. Without the consent of
the new owner, the developer, this moratorium could have significant impact on
the parties to that contract. Therefore, the City Attorney's office could not
recommend that you invoke a moratorium that would impact the contract.
Councilmember Strachan asked if that could be considered a taking. Mr. Brokl
replied yes. Councilmember Soderberg stated that is what troubles him about a
momtorium is that it interferes with a contract between two private parties. Mr.
Brokl stated the dialogue is very important. The idea behind keeping the church
is a good one, if the developer can find an appropriate use. They are further along
in the process legally than that at this time. He did not want to bring this up right
away because this dialogue is important, but we cannot support a moratorium that
affects this property at this time.
Councilmember Soderberg stated the reuse study is a good idea. He then asked
the church and the developer if St. Michael's would consent to being included in a
reuse study for that property without a moratorium? Mayor Ristow then called
the developer to the podium. Councilmember Cordes stated to pose that question
to the developer and the church, they would have to have private discussions and
it is unfair to ask them in a public forum like this. Mr. Garvey, the developer,
stated he agreed with Councilmember Cordes and he had no comments.
Councilmember Strachan stated the City couldn't get in the way of private
contracts. At the same time, you have two sides of a contract who have agreed
who are not interested in a moratorium. So the moratorium becomes an issue
outside of those two parties. The City would be exposed to a legal liability if the
momtorium were placed. We need to talk about the process and method used to
get the reuse study done. Our eyes should be open to all historic buildings and
making sure what goes into the St. Michael's property is consistent with the
neighborhood.
Councilmember Soderberg stated as far as the items requested, item I is to issue a
finding that St. Michael's Church meets the criteria for designation as a heritage
landmark. There is no problem with that finding in that it only works when the
landowner wishes to have that designation placed on a building. Item 2 request
interested parties to meet to discuss preservation value, this could be done and
they have the right to decline. Item 3 the 6-month moratorium is scmtched. Item
4 authorization of a study of the preservation value and reuse of historic buildings
would be in order. Councilmember Strachan added a statement to item 2 for the
Planning Commission to make sure the plan is consistent with the neighborhood.
Councilmember Soderberg stated that is outside of this particular HPC
recommendation. The Planning Commission should consider that separately. Mr.
Vogel stated that is already made clear in the Comprehensive Plan. Mayor
Ristow asked if this would eliminate buildings 50 years and older? Attorney
Brokl stated he would like to meet with staff over the next two weeks and bring a
recommendation to Council as to whether a moratorium might be appropriate to
properties in general, not including the St. Michael's property. Ifnothing else, if
you authorize a study so that a year from now if another property should come up
3"7.5
Council Minutes (Regular)
March 4, 2002
Page 7
you have some idea how to act. Mr. Vogel asked if Council is telling the HPC to
not proceed any farther in the process to designate St. Michael's as a heritage
landmark. Councilmember Strachan stated we are instructing the HPC not to
proceed with designating it as a heritage landmark without the full consent of the
owner. Mr. Vogel stated that has been the HPC's practice that is not what the
code requires. He did not want the HPC to consider directing him to prepare the
nomination documents. He does not want to be in that position or have the HPC
in that position. Council is saying it is a matter of policy to not designate it as a
landmark, because obviously we do not have support of the owner.
Attorney Brokl will prepare a summary of what was discussed and bring it back to
the March 18, 2002 Council Meeting.
8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) Consider Resolution - Elm Street Easement Vacation - Community
Development
The City is seeking to vacate a street easement within the South Suburban First
Addition on Lot I, Block I. It is a remnant piece of Elm Street that is no longer
needed. The issue came up, as there is a property owner that would like to
purchase 10 feet of property along the rear property line. The 10 feet of property
encroaches into the City owned street easement. MOTION by Cordes, second by
Soderberg to close the Public Hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION
by Cordes, second by Soderberg adopting RESOLUTION R19-02 approving
vacating a street easement within the South Suburban I st Addition on Lot 1, Block
1. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
b) Consider Resolution - 2002 Sealcoat Project - Engineering
The 2002 seal coat project is the ninth project in the City's seal coat program.
Several streets in the project area have already been assessed for seal coat costs
through their respective development contracts. The remaining streets will be
assessed. Costs will be assessed to benefiting property owners per the City's
assessment policy. The special assessment policy indicates a 50/50 split between
the City and the benefiting properties. The estimated assessment is $65.41 per
residential equivalent unit. The total project cost is $101,000. One fax was
received which staff is interpreting as an objection to the project which stated,
street maintenance is one of the things I am paying for with property tax. Special
assessment is wrong. The property owner is Robert and Kathryn Kane, 5815
Upper I 83rd Street W. Councilmember Soderberg stated while seal coating is a
function of street maintenance, there are certain properties that do not pay taxes
and by doing it this way everybody gets involved in paying for the street
maintenance including those that do not pay taxes, but do use the streets.
MOTION by Cordes, second by Soderberg to close the Public Hearing. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Strachan, second by Soderberg adopting
RESOLUTION R20-02 ordering the 2002 seal coat project, approving the plans
and specifications and authorizing the advertisement for bids. APIF, MOTION
CARRIED.

10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a) Adopt Resolution - Vermillion Grove 2nd Additional Development Contract-
Engineering
The 2nd Addition is the final addition of the Vermillion Grove development.
Conditions of approval are the standard conditions with one exception as follows:
- The developer agrees to construct the sanitary sewer line along the east side of
the development that will service various properties along Akin Road adjacent
to Vermillion Grove 2nd Addition. The developer will be responsible for 25%
of the costs of the sanitary sewer and the City will reimburse the developer for
the remaining 75% of the sanitary sewer costs. If the residents along Akin Road
do not agree to participate in the sewer project by signing an improvement,
assessment and easement agreement by May 1, 2002, the developer will not be
required to construct said sewer improvements. The City will have some share
in the costs of the line for the Akin Road residents in case any of those lots split.
The City cannot assess for more than one lot at this time, so the City will carry
the cost for those future lots. Those costs would be assessed in the future if
those lots were to split. Councilmember Soderberg stated all of the residents
must participate, so one resident could hold the project up. Staff replied that is
conceivable and if that should happen, it would be brought to Council and
discussed if one resident would hold it up or more than one, and do we put the
sewer in and allow for a future connection by the uninterested property. This is
the most cost-effective way to provide sewer service to these properties at this
time. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Cordes adopting RESOLUTION
R21-02 approving the execution of the Vermillion Grove 2nd Development
Contract and authorize its signing contingent upon the above conditions and
approval by the Engineering Division. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a) Set Workshop Date - Ash Street Project - Engineering
At the last workshop that was held on the Ash Street project, it was agreed that
upon completion of the draft feasibility report, the Township and City would
review the report at separate workshops and then subsequently schedule the next
joint workshop for further discussions. A workshop was set for March 19,2002
to discuss the draft report for the Ash Street project.

13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE
Councilmember Strachan: Attended the Senior Center lunch and spoke with the
seniors about the City. Planning Coordinator Smick took the seniors on a tour of the
City. Missie Kohlbeck does a great job at the Senior Center. He received a copy of a
letter from City Administrator Shukle to the legislators thanking them for their hard work
in making sure the cities were not punished for good financial planning.
Councilmember Soderberg: Talked with the security at the FAA and the barricades on
Spruce Street will be taken down approximately April 1. He was approached by a
member of the Presbyterian Church and was told their parking lot is being used for
skateboarding and asked about skatepark facilities. Councilmember Soderberg informed
3"//

him of the plans for the skatepark. The church members asked if the City would be
willing to place some low-level equipment in their parking lot so kids would have another
place to go. This will be taken to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
City Administrator Shukle: The legislature did override the Governor's veto of the
budget bill. After that there is still a projected $439 million deficit for the state. Finance
Director Roland stated the Governor is pressuring the house and senate to come up with a
way to solve this shortfall. After the veto was overridden the $2 billion in statewide cuts
became law last Friday. The additional $439 million could be remedied through one time
monies which would not solve the problem. They could also look at aid to cities. Staff
anticipates they will not do that in the current year. The Governors' original big fix
would have eliminated $356,000 of 2002 funding from the City of Farmington had it
passed. This would be 4.5% of the City's general fund budget. Without that cut taking
place the City has the ability to look at how this will affect us in 2003. City
Administrator Shukle stated for the 2003 budget in late May, early June, he would like to
meet with Council to establish target goals.

SUBJECT: Vermillion River Watershed Issues - MCES Memorandum of Understanding
DATE: January 7,2002
INTRODUCTION
As Council is aware, Metropolitan Council Environmental Services is in the process of implementing
a project that would accomplish the expansion of the Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant. As.
Council is also aware, based on the surrounding communities current comprehensive plans, the
treatment plant will be at capacity sometime around 2005-2006.
DISCUSSION
A project such as the expansion of a wastewater treatment plant receives intense environmental
scrutiny. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), who has the authority to grant the
permit to expand the plant, has indicated that the issue of storm water runoff into the Vennillion
River needs to be addressed before a permit will be issued.
In the discussions that have been held on the project, it has been indicated that the cities that utilize
the Empire plant will (at least) need ~~ have storm water ordinances and regulations in effect that
meet the criteria of the MPeA's model storm water ordinance, before the MPCA will issue the permit
for the plant expansion. All of the cities involved have reviewed their respective storm water plans
and ordinances to verify compliance with the MPCA's model ordinance. In Farmington's case, the
main component that is absent from the City's ordinances is a shoreland ordinance.
In an effort to address the MPCA's concerns, Met Council staffhas suggested that the cities involved
enter into a Memorandum Of Understanding (see attached draft) regarding Storm Water Management
for the Vermillion River. The Memorandum Of Understanding (MOV) as currently drafted, would
indicate a commitment on the part of the cities involved to adopt and implement a storm water
management program that is consistent with the draft Vermillion River Watershed Plan, (except for
the infiltration requirements, which would be reviewed on a case by case basis for new
developments) by June 30,2002.
3C(?O
The draft Vermillion River Watershed Plan is a plan, basically consistent with the MPCA's draft \
ordinance, that all the cities could follow in common. When the County finalizes the Watershed plan
in the future, all the cities involved will need to adopt the final plan.
It is the consensus of the representatives of the cities involved that this type of MOU may provide an
expeditious way for the cities as a group to show compliance with the MPCA's wishes regarding the
Vermillion River.
BUDGET IMPACT
None at this time.
ACTION REQUESTED
1. Council indication by consensus that a final draft of this type of Memorandum of
Understanding would be acceptable for future Council review and potential approval.
2. Authorize staff to initiate the drafting of a shoreland ordinance.

VERMILLION RIVER STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is entered into by and among the
City of Apple Valley, City of Farmington, City of La keville, City of Rose mount, Empire
Township, Dakota County, and the Metropolitan Council, each acting by and through its
duly authorized officers.
I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Cities of Apple Valley, Farmington, Lakeville, and Rosemount
("Cities") are political subdivisions organized under the laws of the state of Minnesota.
Each city has responsibilities related to management of storm water within its respective
jurisdiction.
1.2 Empire Township ("Township") is a political subdivision organized under
the laws ofthe state of Minnesota. The Township has responsibilities related to
management of storm water within its jurisdiction.
1.3 Dakota County ("County") is a political subdivision organized under the
laws of the state of Minnesota. The County has assumed responsibility for management of
the Vermillion River Watershed within the County.
1.4 . The Metropolitan Council ("Council") is a public corporation and political
subdivision of the state of Minnesota organized under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 473.
The Council owns and operates the Metropolitan Disposal System ("MDS") in the Twin
Cities Metropolitan Area, has other responsibilities related to planning for growth and
development and water resources in the Metropolitan Area, and is committed to the
1
'3<?~
improvement of environmental quality in the Metropolitan Area, The MDS is operated in
accordance with permits issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency ("MPCA")
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES"), including a
permit issued for the Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant (NPDES Permit No.
MN0045845) located in Empire Township, Dakota County..
1.5 The Cities, the Township, the County, and the Council have determined
that it is in the best interests of each entity and the environment to enter into this MOD to
address the respective roles and responsibilities of the parties with respect to management
of storm water in the Vermillion River watershed and intend to establish a mutually
beneficial relationship regarding the issue.
1.6 The Cities and Township completed a Summary of City Stormwater
Management Information (Attachment A), which compared local program requirements
with the MPCA model stormwater ordinance. This showed that local programs include
most items in the model ordinance. In addition, the MPCA has reviewed the local Storm
Water Management Ordinances/Programs of the City of Apple Valley, the City of
Lakeville, the City of Farmington, and Empire Township; and found that they are
reasonably consistent with the MPCA model ordinance and nondegradation policies.
Particular findings of interest include that:
· The Cities and the Township have stormwater discharge rate control restrictions
for the 2, 10, and 100-year events at predevelopment discharge rates.
· The City ofLakeville has adopted an additional management plan for South
Creek, which includes special provisions for preserving this Trout Water
including future runotfvolume restrictions and 50-foot stream-side buffers. In
2
.2 <C~
the City of Farmington infiltration is the recommended Best Management
Practice for areas draining to cold-water fisheries. Other areas within the Cities
and Township do not currently discharge to the designated Trout Waters.
However, the Cities and Township are willing to consider appropriate volume
controls if and when the designation changes.
. The City of Farmington has a Wetland Protection Ordillance that sets buffer
widths dependent on wetland quality. In implementation of this ordinance
streams are considered riparian wetlands and a 100-foot buffer is required within
the designated trout-stream corridor.
. All of the Cities and the Township require financial securities from Developers
for stormwater controls.
The Cities and Township will work directly with MPCA to address remaining issues
individually; through the additional studies listed below in 1.8; and the local ordinances,
agreements and policies developed in response to the Roles and Responsibilities provided
for in Section III of this MOD. City of Rose mount programs were previously reviewed by
the MPCA with a favorable nondegradation review finding as part of the Rosemount
WWTP Facility Interim Improvements project.
1.7 The Cities, Township, and the Council agree that the draft Vermillion River
Watershed Management Plan dated August 1999 ("Draft Plan") represents the most
current understanding of the specific management needs for storm water discharged to the
Vermillion River, and that implementing the Local Plan provisions of the Draft Plan
provide additional assurance of nondegradation.
3
d<?o/
1.8 The Cities, Township, and the Council recognize that the following efforts
currently underway will provide additional information, tools, and regulations for
improving storm water management and assuring nondegradation: 1) A volume study by
the County which is investigating infiltration and management of runoff volumes in
additional to the traditional management of peak runoff rates. 2) Dakota County approval
and acceptance, in November of2001, of the Watershed Management Organization
(WMO) role under Minnesota Statute 103B. 3) Development of a final Watershed
Management Plan by the County under its authority as the WMO. 4) Removal of eflluent
discharge to the Vermillion River by the Council. 5) Submittal of Phase II NPDES
Stormwater permit applications by applicable municipalities by March 10, 2003; and
subsequent implementation. 6) A Local Comprehensive W etlandManagement Plan as
provided for in the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act Rule 8420.0650, and initiated by
the City ofLakeville June 2001 for approximately 600 wetlands within the 2020 MUSA.
This planning process includes a wetland function/value assessment and management
strategy, and determination of appropriate buffers. 7) A Wetland Inventory and Ordinance
study by Empire Township and Dakota Soil and Water Conservation District, which will
include an assessment of appropriate ordinances and buffers. 8) A Shoreline Ordinance
being developed by the City of Farmington during the early part of 2002.
II. PURPOSES
2.1 The Cities and the Township have storm water management responsibilities
and have developed and implemented storm water management ordinances and local water
plans to address storm water quality and quantity. As a part of growth and development
4
3C65
- -".- "---
------
within their respective jurisdictions, storm water run-off will occur that has the potential to
impact both quality and quantity of water in the Vermillion River.
2.2 The County has assumed the responsibility for management of the
Vermillion River Watershed within the county.
2.3 The Council owns the MDS and provides sewer service as necessary to
implement the Council's comprehensive plan for collection, treatment, and disposal of
sewage in the Metropolitan area. As a result of providing this service, the Council
discharges treated wastewater eflluents to area receiving waters, including the Vermillion
River.
2.4 The parties recognize that quantity and quality of storm water and treated
wastewater eflluent discharged to the Vermillion River must be properly managed in order
to protect the river. The parties believe that such management is beneficial to the
environment and will protect the river.
2.5 This MOD will address the basic relationship, roles, and responsibilities of
the parties with respect to Vermillion River storm water management. The primary
purpose of the MOD is to provide a framework for storm water management that assures
appropriate processes and mechanisms are in place to manage storm water runoff impacts
resulting from growth consistent with the nondegradation policies of the MPCA such that
the RosemountlEmpire Service Area wastewater service expansion efforts can proceed.
ill. ROLES AND RESPONSmILITIES
3.1 Parties to this MOD agree to the following two basic provisions: 1) To
operate consistent with the Draft Plan dated August 1999 on an interim basis, until a final
Watershed Management Plan is completed; and 2) to implement the Local Plan provisions
5
3~~
_.._~-~-----_.- -
--
of the Draft Plan through enforceable mechanisms such as ordinances, Development
Agreements, and policies. The exception is adoption of the infiltration provisions of the
Draft Plan. This provision is currently considered too general" and requires completion of
the Volume Study to better document feasibility and appropriate conditions on a
subwatershed basis. Until the Final Plan is completed and adopted, stormwater
infiltration for new development and re-development will be pursued where appropriate
using the process detailed in the Stormwater Runoff Control Strategy of the Draft Plan
with the following clarifications. This strategy identifies preferred practices including
alternative practices where infiltration is not appropriate or practical. The first
clarification for this strategy is the 0.5-inch infiltration/retention criterion given in the
Draft Plan will be considered a design goal rather than a firm criterion. The second
clarification regarding the strategy in the Draft Plan is as follows rather than as written in
the Draft Plan which specifies the use of preferred practices tributary to streams upstream
ofHwy 52:
. For areas tributary to streams and creeks, preferred resource-based Best
Management Practices, if appropriate for the project site, include: buffers -
bioretention - infiltration - retention ponds - wet/dry detention ponds, and
that wet ponds are discouraged in areas draining directly to stream
designated by Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as Trout
Waters and classified as 2A waters by the MPCA.
. For areas tributary to lakes, preferred resource based Best Management
Practices, if appropriate for the site, include: enhancement and protection
6
3~7
of existing ponds and wetlands - new ponds and practices that trap
phosphorus and sediment - bioretention and infiltration practices.
The remainder of this section describes the specific roles and responsibilities of each party.

Dear Ed,
CEEF is an organization of community volunteers dedicated to providing programs,
services and community celebrations to enhance the quality of life in the Farmington area.
CEEF represents Castle Rock, Empire, Eureka, and Farmington. Members from the City of
Farmington and the Townships are represented on the CEEF Committee as well as volunteers
from School District 192, Dakota County Fair Board and Farmington Area Chamber.
CEEF's mission is to provide a vehicle for communication and cooperation among
the various volunteer organizations whose purpose is to promote and enhance our community

the quality of life to all Farmington area residents. CEEF's yearly events - the Easter Egg

sponsor affect everyone in the Farmington area.
As you well know, these projects require volunteers and money to be successful.
CEEF would like to request an annual donation from the City and each of the townships
surrounding Farmington. We suggest $500, but would appreciate any amount to help defray
expenses. CEEF relies on community donations and free-will offerings. Last year, you

CEEF is dedicated to our mi.ssion and working to enhance the future in the
Farmington area. We welcome any suggestions you may have for programs or events. Thank

Request for Time Extension for Filing of Final Plat - Riverbend
DATE:
March 18,2002
INTRODUCTION/DISCUSSION
The Developer, Newland Communities, received approval from the City Council for the Riverbend
Preliminary Plat on December 17, 2001. Section 11-2-2 (D) 3 of the City Code requires that upon approval of
the preliminary plat by City Council, the Developer shall submit the final plat within 100 days of the approval,
unless a time extension is requested by the Developer and submitted in writing and approved by the City
Council. Therefore, the Riverbend Final Plat needs to be submitted by March 27,2002 to meet this deadline.
However, Newland Communities has submitted a letter to the City dated March 7, 2002 requesting that the
City Council grant an 18 month (August 1,2003) time extension to this requirement. The Developer has made
this request because of the need for FEMA to approve a Letter of Map Revision to the existing floodplain and
the unknown time frame for this approval to occur.
ACTION REOUESTED
Consider a time extension of 18 months (August 1,2003) for the submittal of the Riverbend Final Plat.

Re: Riverbend Final Plat
Dear Ms. Smick,
On December 17,2001, the Riverbend preliminary plat was approved. As
discussed in the December 17, 2001 staff report, "No final platting oflots
will be allowed in areas currently identified within the floodplain until the
Letter of Map Revision is approved by FEMA." Given the additional
engineering that was necessary to complete the FEMA application, the
application was not submitted until late February. Based on this and the
need to wait for FEMA approval prior to starting the final plat and
construction plans, Astra Genstar Partnership, L.L.P., requests an eighteen
month (until August 1,2003) extension of time for the submittal ofthe
Riverbend Final Plat.
Given the unknown time line that FEMA works under, the need to wait
until FEMA approves the Letter of Map Revision prior to completing the
final plans and the physical need to grade the entire Riverbend site at one
time, there is becoming a strong likelihood that the proj ect will not occur
this year. To properly design, approve and construct a quality
development, we do not want to rush the process. It should be noted, that
the newly adopted Zoning Code allows one year between preliminary plat
and final plat submittal. However, because Riverbend was approved prior
to the adoption of the new Zoning Code, an extension of time is necessary
now.
Thank you for your continued cooperation. As always, call if you have
any questions.
Sincerely,
Newland Communities

Approve Extension of Wilson Property Pinal Plat Submittal
DATE:
March 18, 2002
INTRODUCTIONIDISCUSSION
The Developer received approval from the City Council for the Wilson Property Preliminary Plat on June 18,
2001. Section 11-2-2 (D) of the City Code requires that the Developer must submit the final plat within 100
days of the approval of the preliminary plat or the approval shall be considered void, unless a time extension is
requested by the Developer and submitted in writing and approved by the City Council. Therefore, the Wilson
Property Pinal Plat should have been submitted by September 27,2001.
The Developer received a time extension for submittal of the Wilson Property Pinal Plat to July 1,2002 at the
October 1, 2001 City Council meeting. The Developer is requesting a second time extension for the submittal
of the Wilson Property Final Plat to October 1,2002 as stated in the attached letter.
City policy has been to grant a one-time extension for the recording of final plats. The City Council needs to
determine if this one-time extension should apply to the submittal of the final plat or a succession of
extensions be allowed. The recently approved City Code has been amended to require the submittal of the
final plat within 1 year of the approval of the preliminary plat rather than the 100-day submittal requirement.
However, the Wilson Property Preliminary Plat falls under the previous Zoning Code guidelines of 100 days.
ACTION REQUESTED
Consider if a second time extension is allowed for the submittal of the Wilson Property Pinal Plat to October 1,
2002.

Consider Ordinance Amendment Scoreboard Signage
DATE:
March 18, 2002
INTRODUCTION
The City of Farmington proposes to amend Section 4-3-2 (A) and 4-3-3 (C) of the City Code to allow
scoreboards with advertising.
DISCUSSION
Independent School District # 192 approached the City in October of 2001 with the proposal to install
scoreboards at their baseball fields at the northeast intersection of Akin Road and CSAH 50 and their softball
fields on the High School property at 800 Denmark Avenue. A number of businesses in the City have donated
funds to assist in purchasing the scoreboards, therefore, the School District has requested that the businesses be
allowed to advertise on the scoreboards.
As stated in the letter from the City to the School District dated October 23, 2001 the proposed advertising on
the scoreboard is considered a billboard by the City Attorney and would not be allowed under the current sign
ordinance (see attached). Because of this ruling, the School District requested that the City amend the sign
ordinance to meet the requirements of the scoreboard specifications in a letter dated November 2, 2001 (see
attached).
The School District proposes to install a 6.5'x 27' scoreboard with advertising located on the front and back of
the scoreboard. Four scoreboards will be located on School District property including one at each field for
junior varsity and varsity baseball and softball (see attached locations).
At the December 12, 2001 Joint City Council/Planning Commission meeting the scoreboard issue was
discussed to determine if the City Council and Planning Commission would agree to a code amendment to
allow the scoreboards to be installed with advertising. The City Council and Planning Commission
determined that the scoreboards would be an important improvement to the community and agreed to review
an amendment to the sign ordinance. However, they stated that the ordinance amendment should be site
specific to Akin Road and CSAH 50 and the High School property at 800 Denmark Avenue and adhere to the
scoreboard specifications proposed by the School District.
The Planning Commission reviewed the amendments to the sign ordinance at their March 12, 2002 meeting.
One minor change was proposed. At the meeting, the School District requested that advertising be allowed on
the back of the scoreboards at the softball fields. This request was recommended for approval by the Planning
'I~7
Commission and has been incorporated into Section 4-3-2 (A) under Permitted Signs (see attached ordinance).
Upon review of the proposed amendments, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the sign
ordinance amendments.
ACTION REOUESTED
Consider an ordinance to amend Section 4-3-2 (A) Permitted Signs and 4-3-3 (C) Advertising Signs of the
City Code.

Re: Scoreboards
Dear Ms. Smick:
Thank you for your letter dated October 23, 2001. In a cooperative effort to promote recreation in the
area, the District, local businesses, and an informal committee of interested citizens have partnered to
propose scoreboards be installed at some of our local ball fields. During the course of this enthusiastic
effort to provide additional resources, a formal review of ordinances was not conducted.
Upon review of the established ordinance, it would be reasonable and prudent to request an audience
before the Planning Commission. Our intent would be to work with our local city planners and hopefully
establish acceptable revisions that allow this project to continue and preserve the integrity and intent of
local law.
Could we establish a meeting date to discuss an ordinance amendment and the Planning Commission
procedures?

Re: Notice of Revised Late Fee Implementation
Dear Mayor Ristow:
This is to advise you that effective May 1, 2002, Charter Communications will be implementing a

Mr. Ed Shukle, City Administrator

Farmington, MN 55024-1358
Dear Mr. Shukle,
The time has come! I'm writing to share the exciting news that finally, the purchase of
High-Speed Access (HSA) is coming to fruition! This has been long awaited and we are
very excited. HSA had been our partner for over 3 years in bringing to marketing the
high-speed Internet service over the cable TV line. Some aspects of the relationship were
challenging and we appreciate working with you to keep communications open.
As of March 1,2002, Charter Communications has acquired High-Speed Access. This
acquisition has been anxiously awaited and with it brings us additional challenges and
opportunities. First, we are converting those modem customers from the HSA billing
system to Charter's bill platform. We will accomplish that phase during the week of
March 11, 2002. Previously, our customers had been billed separately for their modem
and cable service. Now they will have a combined billed. With that feature, Charter will
be able to package the modem and cable together for further savings for our customers.
The majority of our customer base in Minnesota is already taking advantage of the
packaging and now with the acquisition ofHSA, we will be able to do the same.
There are other exciting aspects of this transition as well. Soon, you will begin to see a
lot of advertising promoting our ability to "tier" the modem service. We will be offering
3 tiers of this service. Charter Pipeline Platinum will offer residential customers
download specds of up to 1.5 MB for $49.95, Charter Pipeline Gold with up to 768 Kbps
for $39.95 and Charter Pipeline Silver with up to 256 Kbps for $29.95. Modem rental
will be $3.95 per month. We will be supporting the DOCSIS platform, which allows our
customers the ability to purchase their own modems at participating retailers such as Best
Buy and Circuit City if they so chose. The timing of this transition is dependant on a
successful trial period, and we anticipate this happening by the beginning of the 2nd
quarter.
I am very pleased to be offering these product improvements with our modem service.
Weare looking at a very positive 2002 in relation to the modem service and being able to
communicate the availability of this and to offer our customers a package with their cable
servIce.

SUBJECT: 2002 Leadership/Strategic Planning Retreat
DATE: March 18, 2002
As you know, we have scheduled the 2002 Leadership/Strategic Planning Retreat for
Saturday, April 13, 2002, beginning at 8 a.m. at Dakota Electric, 4300 220th Street West,
Farmington. The session will be held in a conference room at Dakota Electric. A
continental breakfast will be provided as well as lunch. The session will end at
approximately 3 p.m. Please arrive around 7:45 a.m. as our session will begin promptly
at 8:00 a.m.
As a reminder, the purpose of the retreat is:
. Organizations need to periodically assess their progress, reestablish direction and
enhance team spirit.
. The key to a city's effectiveness is how well the City Councilmembers, City
Administrator and Management Team communicate and work together.
. It's much easier to develop consensus on issues, opportunities and goals in an off-
site relaxed environment rather than the formality of the normal work
environment.
. A leadership/strategic planning retreat is an excellent way to integrate new
members onto the leadership team.
The following is a tentative agenda for the day:
8:00 - 8:05 Opening Remarks - Mayor and City Administrator
8:05 - 9:30 "Working as a Team - The Challenge of Public Sector Leadership"
9:30 - 9:45 Break

designation, the process will not continue.
2. Request all parties with an interest in the property, the City Council and Planning
Commission, to participate in an informal meeting to discuss the preservation value of the
church property. Consultant Vogel will schedule a meeting and invite all parties
involved.
3. Place a 6-month moratorium on demolition/moving permits for all buildings more than
50 years old or until all existing land use controls are in place.
4. Authorize a study of the preservation value and reuse potential of religious buildings and
other potential historic properties.

MEMORANDUM
March 11, 2002
TO: Mayor, Council Members, City Administrator
FROM: Matt Brokl, Assistant City Attorney
RE: S1. Michael's Church Property and Other Potential Historic Properties
This memorandum is intended to review the information submitted by Mr. Vogel
and discussed at the Council meeting of March 4, 2002. You have previously received a
report from Mr. Vogel regarding the preservation ofS1. Michael's Church.
Mr. Vogel's memorandum included the following items:
1. The HPC issued a finding that the 81. Michael's church building appears to meet
the criteria for designation as a heritage landmark.
2. The HPC requested all parties with an interest in the property, the City Council
and Planning Commission, to participate in an informal meeting to discuss the
preservation value of the church property.
3. The HPC requested that the City place a 6-month moratorium on
demolition/moving permits for all buildings more than 50 years old.
4. The HPC requested that the City authorize a study of the preservation value and
reuse potential of religious buildings.
Following is our review addressing each issue as specified by the HPC
Consultant:
1. The HPC issued a finding that the St. Michael's church building appears to
meet the criteria for designation as a heritage landmark.
The designation of historic buildings is a difficult task without the approval of the
property owner. The owner may be the original owner of the property or a developer or a
public group which purchases property in order to preserve a structure. The landmark
designation is not intended to be used as a method of stopping or prohibiting the
destruction or modification of a structure. The City designation is intended to be an aid
in the process of preserving an historic building. The key to effective use of the City's
designation is time. With the S1. Michael's church building the lead-time was not taken
advantage of and currently the property owners do not appear to be inclined to assist in
preserving the building due to financial constraints. If the City believes this is an
'IS l./
important issue for other religious or non-religious structures in the City, then now is the
time to begin working with other property owners to make historical designations before
re-development is proposed.
2. The HPC requested all parties with an interest in the property, the City
Council and Planning Commission, to participate in an informal meeting to discuss
the preservation value of the church property.
This request applies to all properties with historic value and is a valuable tool
when used before and during any development project. As indicated previously, the St.
Michael's owners asserted at the Council meeting that they fully explored all alternatives
and were not inclined to meet to discuss possible alternatives. Based on the comments of
the Council at its last meeting and the possible interest in pursuing one last meeting to
discuss this issue among the interested parties, the City and the HPC consultant will
attempt to establish a meeting with the parties and report the result of that initiative to the
Council.
3. The HPC requested the City place a 6-month moratorium on
demolition/moving permits for all buildings more than 50 yean old.
Moratoriums are strong tools. A moratorium is intended to be used as a
temporary restriction on landowner's rights in order to permit the City to develop long
range plans. Moratoriums are not legally appropriate to stop a single specific project
under most circumstances. The concept of a ''taking'' from a property owner becomes an
issue with moratoriums. The courts in Minnesota have individually ruled that
moratoriums will not constitute "takings" resulting in damages being awarded to property
owners. However, like most legal rules, there are exceptions based on specific facts, and
the U.S. Supreme Court currently has a case under review which could change the current
rule. The key to a valid moratorium is that it be enacted as the result of a good faith
effort to protect the municipal planning process. Moratoriums are not meant to address
specific projects but rather the overall planning process. The courts also look to the
following factors and others in determining whether a moratorium is enacted lawfully:
1. Are there land use controls in place for the area?
2. Do existing land use controls permit the proposed use?
3. When did the City obtain information regarding the proposed use?
4. Under the current ordinances, is the project in compliance?
5. Is the existing project the only project specifically affected at this time?
6. Is the moratorium enacted to prevent construction despite such compliance?
If land use controls are currently in place, a moratorium is less likely to be
appropriate as the City can instead amend its controls in the usual fashion. Additionally,
if existing controls permit a use contemplated by a property owner, it is difficult to
legally justify a moratorium that prohibits that use. In the St. Michael's church situation,
the City had knowledge of potential destruction or re-use of the property over a year ago.
l./56
Townhomes are an allowable general use for the property. The S1. Michael's property is
the property that would be most impacted by the moratorium and the appearance of the
moratorium may have been that of the City trying to stop the project even though the
proposed project might ultimately be approved. Testimony from the Church and
discussion from the City Council advanced in a direction of tailoring a moratorium
specifically based upon its impact on 8t. Michael's church. Additionally, the Church
representatives spoke of the immediate harm a moratorium would cause upon the Church
and its finances. Given these issues, many of which were mentioned by the Church
during their presentation to the Council, I advised against the proposed moratorium as
applied to the S1. Michael's property.
As an overall proposition, the use of a moratorium to study the many religious
properties in the City may be proper if the City determines that its existing land use
controls are not adequate. It may be that existing ordinances need further refinement or
adjustment. Perhaps it's a matter of interpretation and implementation or enforcement of
existing controls. Before adopting a moratorium on this issue the City should consider
further review and documentation of the existing need for a moratorium to accomplish
the preservation of other buildings.
4. The HPC requested the City authorize a study of the preservation value and
reuse potential of religious buildings.
The HPC has in place a demolition permit policy for buildings more than 50 years
old that provides for a 10-day waiting period to allow recordation by city staff. This
allows preservation of documentation and not the building itself. This is a short window
of time that does not allow for many options regarding preservation of a structure. Given
the special nature of the 8t. Michael's church structure, the issuance of a demolition
permit in this case would be subject to appropriate conditions as interpreted by City staff
and documentation of historical information from the church and the structure.
If the City decides to make a priority of preserving religious buildings, then
timing is the key. The St. Michael's church can be included in the study to the extent the
property owner consents to participate. Unlike commercial or residential buildings,
religious building present rather unique re-use issues. Lead-time is the key with these
structures. For example, in Lakeville a church was recently converted to public art space.
The process of preserving and re-using this space started 10 years ago when the church
began planning for a new facility. The church the city and the public all participated
actively in the preservation of the structure over those many years. The advantage in the
Lakeville case was the church's desire to see the building preserved and used again even
at a financial loss. In contrast, with the 81. Michael's church, the property owner is
primarily focused upon the sale of the property for a profit. With a long pre-sale
planning process the City of Farmington can identify projects and structures for historical
designation and preservation.

TO: Mayor, Councilmembers, City Administrator
FROM: Lee M. Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
SUBJECT: 209th Street Feasibility Report
DATE: March 18, 2002
INTRODUCTION
Forwarded herewith for Council's consideration is the feasibility report for 209th Street, prepared by
Paul Thomas of Pioneer Engineering, the engineer for Tamarack Ridge. The upgrade to the roadway,
which includes paving, curb and gutter and storm sewer, needs to be accomplished in concurrence
with the Tamarack Ridge Development. Water main improvements are necessaz to serve the
development and the existing residential properties along the south side of 209 Street. The
properties along the south side of the street will also derive benefit from the street and storm sewer
improvements. The details of the proposed construction are contained in the attached report.
DISCUSSION
As Council may recall, the construction of 209th Street was addressed in the development contracts
for the Tamarack Ridge Development (see attached page 1 of development contracts). As the
contract states, the developer is responsible for the construction of the street and the developer will be
reimbursed for the costs apportioned to the residents along the south side of the street.
In the spring of 2000, at a town board meeting, all of the township residents along the south side of
the street agreed to be annexed into the City in order to be allowed to hook up to City water. They
also agreed at the meeting that they would be paying for their proportionate share of the street and
storm sewer improvements. Therefore, it was anticipated that the developer would construct the
improvements and be reimbursed for the resident's share of the costs. The residents along the south
side of209th Street were annexed into the City in January of2001.
In 2001, staff attempted to move the 209th Street project forward by obtaining assessment agreements
for the improvement costs from the new residents of Farmington along the south side of 209th Street.
Several of the residents did not agree to sign assessment agreements. Consequently, without 100%
voluntary participation of the residents along the south side of 209th Street, it is necessary to
apportion the costs of the improvements pursuant to M.S. Chapter 429. As such, the project needs to
be a City project and follow all the procedures stipulated by M.S. 429.
t/67
Pioneer Engineering had already completed the design of 209th Street by the time it became apparent
that the project needed to become a City project, therefore it is most cost-effective for Pioneer
Engineering to continue to be the engineer for this project. The design and construction of the
roadway has been and will continue to be reviewed and approved by City engineering staff.
BUDGET IMPACT
The total estimated project cost for the 209th Street improvements is $311,000. The costs will be
allocated between the developer of Tamarack Ridge and the property owners along the south side of
209th Street. An amount to cover the costs of the construction is available in the developer's surety
for the development project. The appraisal will be completed shortly and the proposed assessment
roll and project cost apportionment will be available at the neighborhood meeting and the public
hearing. As Council is aware, the City cannot assess a property an amount that is greater than the
appraised benefit the property receives from the improvements. The costs not assessable to the
properties along the south side of the property will be allocated to the developer(s) of Tamarack
Ridge.
ACTION REOUESTED
Adopt the attached resolution accepting the feasibility report, authorizing preparation of plans and
specifications and calling for a public hearing.
Respectfully Submitted,

Introduction
This report investigates the feasibility of street and utility improvements to serve the properties along
209th Street West between Chippendale Avenue (State Trunk Highway 3) and Cantata Avenue West.
The proposed project is approximately 1,000.00 feet in length (See Figure 1 for location map).
The upgrade to the roadway is necessary due to the increase in traffic generated by the Tamarack
Ridge Development. Water main improvements are necessary to serve the development and the
existing residential properties along the south side of 209th Street. The properties along the south
side annexed into the City in 2001 in order to hook up to City water service. These properties will
also derive benefit from the street and storm sewer improvements.
Discussion
Background
209th Street West is classified as a residential street. Presently, there are 8 single family residents
and one parcel owned by the American Legion along the south side of209th Street West. The parcels
on the north side of209th Street West consist of one vacant Commercial parcel, the Farmington
Family Housing Development (multi-family area) and a City Park dedicated as part of the Tamarack
Ridge Development.
Street and Drainage Improvements .
The existing 209th Street West is a rural section with drainage ditches on both sides of the roadway.
The existing gravel roadway is approximately 24 - feet in width. The existing driveways on the
south side of 209th Street West, with the exception of the westernmost driveway, do not have
driveway culverts. Storm water runoff from the roadway and front yards appears to percolate into
the ground in the roadway ditches. Most of the existing driveways slope away from the roadway and
into the front yards.
The proposed roadway will be 32' wide, with a bituminous surface and concrete curb and gutter (See
Figure 2 and 3 for the proposed street section and street improvements). The proposed roadway
grade will be lower than the existing roadway. The existing ditches will be filled and the boulevard
front yards will be re-graded to drain to the street. The existing driveways will be reconstructed to
slope to the street where possible to comply with City standards. An 8' bituminous path is proposed
along the north right of way line on a portion of 209th Street West.
Storm sewer and draintile will be installed and directed north to a detention pond constructed with
the Tamarack Ridge project (See Figure 4 for the proposed storm sewer improvements).

Sanitary Sewer and Watermain
Presently, the existing homes on the South side of 209th Street West are served by an existing
sanitary sewer in 209th Street West. A sanitary sewer stub will be provided to the vacant property
on the south side of 209th Street. The properties on the north side of 209th Street West are served by
a sanitary sewer located along the North right-of-way line of209th Street West. This sanitary sewer
was installed in the fall of 2000, with the Tamarack Ridge project.
The existing Farmington Trunk watermain is located in Chippendale Avenue and Cantata Avenue
West. The proposed watermain improvements will connect to these existing trunk water mains and
proved service to all properties on 209th Street West. The existing homes on the south side of209th
Street currently have private wells for water service. One inch copper service connections will be
provided to properties on the south side of 209th Street and 8-inch stubs are proposed for the north
side properties (See Figure 4 for the proposed watermain improvements).
Right of Way and Easements
Right of Way acquisition will not be required. Temporary construction easements will be needed
for roadway and utility construction. Temporary construction easements are necessary along the
South side for driveway reconstruction, re-grading of front yards and water service construction (See
Figure 5 for easement temporary easement locations).
