Olson Community Development Director SUBJECT: Affordable Housing Concerns DATE: September 17, 2001 INTRODUCTION Amber Garland of20195 Doffing Avenue in Vermillion Township addressed concerns regarding the availability of affordable housing in Farmington as well as Empire Township. DISCUSSION Ms. Garland addressed the issue of the tax forfeited lot at the comer of 4th and Main Street as a site for the development of affordable housing. Dakota County and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) have not been willing to consider redevelopment of that parcel until the source of groundwater contamination can be identified and addressed.

CITIZEN COMMENTS Mr. Craig Stibbe, 20060 Akin Road, before the Akin Road project was started, residents said there was going to be a serious accident if something was not done, and there was. Stop signs are needed, as children have to cross the road to get to the school bus. The speed limit has been lowered to 40 mph during construction and he would like to keep it there. If there are a dozen meetings or no meetings, the City will do what it wants to do. If the City wants a fast road into town, he will use it as a fast road to do his business out of town. Mr. Nicholas Roberts, 5597 180th Street, distributed pictures and information to help preserve trees in future developments, especially Middle Creek. He obtained a tree preservation ordinance from Burnsville. He would like Council to pass an ordinance to preserve the trees in future developments. He realizes the need to build houses, but we also need to preserve what we have. Ms. Amber Garland, 20195 Doffing Avenue, expressed her concern about affordable housing. The price of rent has escalated so much, that there is a lack of affordable housing. She heard of a house on 4th Street and Main that cannot be sold because of toxic chemicals and was wondering if there were funds available to be used to clean up the property and then sell it for affordable housing. She also heard 1000 houses were proposed to be built in Empire Township and was wondering if a percentage of those houses could be used for affordable housing. a) Park Construction Update - Lake Julia Park - Parks and Recreation At the August 20, 2001 Council Meeting, Mr. James Munro had requested the City start developing Lake Julia Park. A summary of what has been done and future plans was sent to him. Mr. James Munro, 18863 Embers Avenue, wanted to clarify a statement Councilmember Soderberg made at the last meeting. Mr. Munro said he has a tendency to speed through his neighborhood, not that he actually did speed. Councilmember Soderberg said he did not identify Mr. Munro in particular. Mr. Munro said the reason for the residents being at the last meeting was for the speed on Embers Avenue and a concern about the traffic. Council is not doing anything to control the speed on Embers. Rerouting the street was discussed to make it easier for 187th, but has the speed been discussed. Staff replied speed studies take a week or two to gather the data. Information will be brought to Council at the next meeting or the one after. Mr. Munro said it is the neighbors that are speeding and construction workers. It makes no difference who it is, the point is people are going too fast on Embers. If there is a speed study, what is the solution? He then Council Minutes (Regular) September 4,2001 Page 4 asked for the name of the person who designs the streets. Mayor Ristow stated a response will be brought back to the next meeting or the meeting after. Mr. Munro stated Council discussed several times not passing the plat for Meadow Creek, but in the end it did pass. Mayor Ristow stated it met all the requirements for development. Ms. Deb Johnson, 18675 Embers Avenue, stated since Embers has been opened, the trucks do not slow down. If the people on 187th have a concern, let them voice it, but why should she be opened up for construction traffic at 7 a.m. on a Saturday. They have a speed monitor on 187th, why not on Embers? She wanted Council to know that residents are voters, and Council will be up for re-election. When watering bans were in effect, flyers were posted downtown, squad cars are sent out when watering is done when it's not supposed to be. Why couldn't the residents be sent a flyer regarding upcoming construction on their street? Mr. James Munro, 18863 Embers Avenue, stated there are more tickets being given for watering on the wrong day, than speeding on Embers. 7.

The City must consider the effects of any action taken on the properties. It also creates a partnership between the owners and the Council Minutes (Regular) September 4,2001 Page 5 City. Letters of agreement were received from property owners of the Farmington State Bank building and the Masonic Temple building. Ms. Jeanine Hill, 621 Oak Street, stated she is very excited about the designation and wants to support it in any way she can. Mr. Marty Clough, 312 7th Street, stated heritage continues to change throughout time. The Hamilton Clay House has a lot of history and beauty that you do not see anywhere else. It is vitally important that Council gives strong support to this project. MOTION by Verch, second by Soderberg to close the Public Hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Verch adopting RESOLUTION R82-01 designating the Farmington State Bank Building, 320 Third Street, as a Farmington Heritage Landmark. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

PETITIONS, REQUESTSAND COMMUNICATIONS a) Middle Creek 4th Addition Development Contract - Engineering The Development Contract for Middle Creek 4th Addition was brought to Council. The conditions of approval for the development contract are: a) The Developer enter into this Agreement. b) The Developer provide the necessary security in accordance with the rennsofthisAgreement. c) The Developer record the plat with the County Recorder within 75 days after City Council approval of the final plat. MOTION by Cordes, second by Strachan adopting RESOLUTION R 85-01 approving the execution of the Middle Creek 4th Addition Development Contract and authorizing its signing contingent upon the above conditions and approval by the Engineering Division. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. b) Akin Road Speed Study Results - Engineering MnDOT has completed the first speed study for Akin Road. The recommendation based on the results of the speed study is to keep the speed limit at 50 mph at this time. MnDOT will be conducting another study after the improvements to Akin Road are completed. Currently, there is a 40 mph speed limit due to construction and it is temporary during the construction phase. Councilmember Soderberg stated it troubles him that improving the conditions on Council Minutes (Regular) September 4,2001 Page 6 the road would probably make the speed limit come back the same or higher. The stop sign at 195th will be installed permanently. Councilmember Strachan asked if the second study says 50 mph is fine, can Council pass a resolution for 40 mph? City Engineer Mann replied once a stretch of highway is designated as an urban district, it does need to be forwarded to MnDOT for review. Councilmember Cordes asked if it could be designated as an urban district now? Councilmember Strachan agreed that staff could look into that now. City Administrator Shukle stated we should do anything we can to mitigate problems. Councilmember Soderberg stated it makes sense to change the speed limit while it is under construction and the placement of stop signs. City Engineer Mann stated there are guidelines as to when and how areas are designated as urban districts. Staff will prepare a report for urban designation. c) Reschedule CouncillPlanning Commission Workshop - Community Development County staffhas requested the Joint Workshop scheduled for September 19, 2001 to discuss the status of East-West Corridor Study be changed to September 26, 2001. Council approved the change. 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 12. NEW BUSINESS a) Adopt 2002 Preliminary Budget and Tax Levy - Finance State statute requires a preliminary tax levy be certified to the County by September 17, 200 I. Once the proposed tax levy is adopted, the Council may lower the levy, but cannot increase it. The Tax Levy proposed as part of the budget is $3,607,016 and includes $1,006,937 for debt service and $55,000 for the Fire levy. The State Department of Revenue has notified the City that our Levy Limit for pay 2002 is $4,593,182. The proposed tax levy is $986,166 under the City's statutory levy limit. The requirements to hold a Truth in Taxation public hearing has been eliminated for payable 2002. If Council desires to hold a Truth in Taxation public hearing, staff proposed it be held on December 3,2001 as part of the regular Council Meeting. The Council could then adopt the 2002 Budget and Tax Levy immediately after the hearing. Staffhas been working with a proforma for the last 5 years. The growth and expenditures have been predicted to grow at 10% for the last five years. Councilmember Cordes stated she is not supportive of this budget, but in fairness to the new Administrator and the fact we need to meet deadlines, she will support the preliminary budget, but it can be changed. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Strachan adopting RESOLUTION R86-01 certifying the 2002 Preliminary Tax Levy of$3,607,016 to Dakota County and establishing December 3,2001 as the City of Farmington's Truth in Taxation hearing for Tax Levy collectible 2002. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE Councilmember Strachan: Welcomed City Administrator Shukle. Council Minutes (Regular) September 4,2001 Page 7 Councilmember Soderberg: Welcomed City Administrator Shukle. Regarding Embers Avenue and the new development to the east, as was done with 195th and Akin Road, he would like to look at the Traffic Engineer's numbers for Eaglewood Trail and 187th to see if stop signs might be warranted at those intersections. If they are, the City should be proactive in placing them in anticipation of the increased traffic. This is only a suggestion. City Engineer Mann stated staff is working on traffic counts on Embers as well as looking at speed surveys. Staff is also researching speed bumps and will bring it back at the next meeting. Police Chief Siebenaler stated the new speed trailer has been placed on Embers A venue four or five times in the last six weeks. This is one of many streets with the same concern. Councilmember Cordes: Welcomed City Administrator Shukle. Councilmember Verch: Welcomed City Administrator Shukle and thanked Finance Director Roland and staff for carrying the burden.

City Administrator SEAL COb City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.d.farmington.mn.us FROM: Mayor, Council Members, City Administrator1:~ Lee Smick, AICP Planning Coordinator TO: SUBJECT: Wetland Alteration Permit - Extension of 195th Street and Farmington Preserve Park Trail DATE: September 17, 2001 INTRODUCTION The City of Farmington has submitted Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Applications for proposed wetland impacts resulting from the extension of 195th Street and the construction of a trail on the east edge of the Farmington Preserve Park. The applications are required when projects are proposing to impact water/wetland resources regulated by local, state and federal agencies implementing the MN Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) of 1991. DISCUSSION A Notice of Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Application for the 195th Street road project was mailed on June 11, 2001 and initial comments on the application were due by June 29, 2001. The Application for the trail project was mailed on July 2,2001 and comments were due by August 2,2001. A Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) meeting was held on June 20, 2001 regarding the proposed wetland impacts, wetland concept and banking of excess wetland replacement credits. The attached letter from Brian Watson, Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District states that the proposed wetland impacts appear to have been avoided and minimized to the best extent possible and the mitigation sequencing requirements under the WCA have been met. No other adverse comments were received concerning the projects. The grading plan for 195th Street shows that the proposed wetland impacts from the road will be 0.35 acres. The total mitigation area is 1.62 acres. The proposed trail will impact 0.31 acres of wetland, however most of the impact is limited to the farmed and degraded portion of the wetland. The replacement of the wetland impacts will be accomplished utilizing the wetland created for the 195th Street road project. After the road and trail projects are mitigated, an excess of 0.30 acres will be placed in a wetland bank as new wetland credit. The Board of Water and Soils Resources, Soil and Water Conservation District and Corps of Engineers have reviewed the mitigation/wetland banking area as required by the Wetland Conservation Act. The wetland banking area has received preliminary approval by the WCA Technical Evaluation Panel to be used for WCA impacts. The TEP will review the replacement site after construction to make a final approval if it becomes a wetland. ACTION REQUESTED Consider approving the Wetland Conservation Act Applications for the 19Sth Street and Farmington Preserve Park Trail and approve the Wetland Banking of 0.30 acres of the remaining wetland credit. ;n~ Lee Smick, AICP Planning Coordinator BONESTROO ROSENE ANDERLIK R 1i' 6516361311 09/09/01 10:01 B :02/06 NO:646 Memo I eonesll'OO =ik" Aaocf... ........... , -.....

No: 141 -00-1 37 To: Lee Smick, City of Farmington Date: 8121/2001 From: John Smyth Re: Wetland Conservation Act - Recommendation of Approval of Above Referenced Project Remarks: There are two proposed city projects that have gone through the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) review process. The projects are cal'led the 19S1h Street and Farmington Preserve Park Trail. 19S1h Street The project will extend 19S1h from Akin Road to a point approximately 2,400 feet east. This street will serve Autumn Glenn Second Addition to the north. The raid is Identified as a minor arterial in the Farmington Comprehensive Plan. The proposed wetland impacts from this road will be 0,35 acres. The wetland mitigation will be accomplished adjacent to the same wetland that ill being imp.cted. The wetland with the proposed impact and mitigation is identified on the Wetland and Waterbody Classification Map as F-W8.2.3. This wetland is 26.8 acres and is identified on the Wetland and Waterbody Classification Map as a Potential Wetland Enhancement and Banking Site. The attached Figure 6 shows the location of the impact and replacement. The proposed replacement area will be built larger thsn that required for the road to accommodate potential wetland impacts from future city projects. The total mitigation area is 1.62 acres. Farmington Preserve Park Trail The proposed project involves the construction of a trail on the east edge of Farmington Preserve Park. This trail is part of a planned trail system in Farmington and will link to other trails in the city system. The 195"\ Street road project has provided the opportunity to build a portion of this planned trail immediately. The trail will serve as a temporary access road to sllow construction of the mitigation site being created as part of the 195"' Street project. The proposed trail will impact 0.31 acres of wetland, however moat of the impact is limited to the farmed or degraded portion of fhe wetland. The replacement of the wetland impact. will be accomplished utilizing the wetland created for the 195111 road project. Bon8stroo, Rosene, Ander/II< .nd Assocl.t.s, '"c. o Sl.

After the trail and road impacts are mitigated, the 0.30 acres that remain will be placed in a wetland bank as new wetland credit. This project will also involve a ditch block (Figure 8) to help restore the hydrology of Wetland F-WB.2.3 to accomplish the enhancement goals as shown on the Wetland and Waterbody Classification Map. The Board of Water and Soils Resources, Soil and Water Conservation District, and Corps of Engineers have reviewed the mitigation/wetland banking area as required by the Wetland Conservation Act. The wetland banking area has received preliminary approval by the WCA Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) to be used for WCA impacts. Ultimately the WCA TEP will review the replacement site again once constructed to make a final approval if it becomes wetland. Recommendations The comment period for the Farmington Preserve Park Trail and 19S1h Street Wetland Permits has expired and no adverse comments were received. I recommend approval of the Farmington Preserve Park Trail and 1951n Street Wetland Conservation Act Permit Applications. It is also recommended that the city approve the Wetland Banking of 0.30 acres of the remaining wetland credit. Bonestroo, R0&8n8, And.rUIe and A.aocl.f.., 'nc. o 51.

The project will extend 195th Street from Akin Road to approximately 2,400 feet east. A wetland delineation report was prepared in May of 200 1 and was provided with the Wetland Replacement Plan application. A Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) meeting was held on June 20th regarding the proposed wetland impacts, wetland replacement concept, and banking of excess wetland replacement credits. The proposed roadway alignment would impact 0.35 acre of wetland and the proposed wetland replacement site is estimated to be a total of2.0 acres. Approximately 1.30 acres of excess wetland credit would be deposited into the State Wetland Banking system on behalf of the City of Farmington. The following comments are submitted for your review and consideration: . The wetland delineation report submittal adequately locates and defines wetlands located within the project site. . The proposed wetland impacts appear to been avoided and minimized to the best possible extent and the mitigation sequencing requirements under the WCA have been met. . The general concept of the wetland replacement site and develop~ent of wetland banking credits for the City of Farmington has merit as shown in the application. A TEP meeting will need to be held as soon as construction is complete to evaluate "as built" conditions. It is helpful if this meeting is held prior to the contractor removing grading equipment from the site. We would be happy to provide any pre-construction assistance prior to the grading of this wetland replacement site. Our office anticipates the receipt of a TEP Findings of Fact document. This letter is intended to supplement that anticipated document and allow the City to make a decision on this WCA application without the need for a formal extension. We appreciate the opportunity of reviewing this proposal with City staff and other agency personnel. We look forward to reviewing the grading and erosion control plan when it becomes available and submitting recommendations to reduce soil loss and further protect water quality during construction.

PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRIPTION A) Describe the nature, purpose and benefits of the proposed project (attach additional pages as needed): The project will extend 195th Street from Akin Road to a point approximately 2400 feet east. This street will serve Autumn Glen Second Addition to the north. Storm sewer will be installed to serve only the immediate road area. A trunk water main will be installed in accordance with the Farmington Comprehensive Plan. The road will eventually become Dakota County Road 64. The road and sewer design allows for future transition to the county. This road is identified as a minor arterial in the Farmington Comprehensive Plan. The design also takes into consideration future extension of the road and new developments. Storm sewers will discharge into storm water ponds east of Autumn Glen, thus pre-treating the majority of the runoff prior to discharging to the wetland. Water supply to the wetland will continue from its current source from a conservation area to the north through a 24-inch culvert under the road. This water should not need treatment as it currently drains into the wetland. The culvert will provide for the least disruption in water supply for the wetland, reduce storm sewer pipe sizes. and increase effectiveness of the water treatment ponds. B) Estimated Project Cost: Wetland Mitigation: $35,798.13; Project Total: $1,220,768.45 Funding Source (total 100%): _%Local_%County _%State 1QQ%(TIF) Federal C) Timetable: project will begin on -L-!....!JL.J..1ll..- (mo/day/yr) and will be completed by ..!L.J~~ I Page 3 of 6 (Public Transportation) V.

The ditch block should have a positive affect on a large existing wetland located northwest of the mitigation site by restoring a higher outlet resulting in fully or at least partially restoring the hydrology of this basin. Raising the outlet elevation higher then 905.0 is not possible due to potential flooding of land that is outside ownership of the city. The restoration of the existing wetland is an added benefit and is not include in the mitigation calculation. The proposed mitigation will be accomplished by excavation. Flows from the ditch will be directed to the mitigation site prior to discharge back into the ditch. Soil pits dug during the delineation indicate a clay layer approximately 8- inches below the surface. This clay layer will be stockpiled and re-spread on the mitigation site to a depth of 6-inches. This combined with excavation of the mitigation site to an elevation that is near the ditch bottom should eliminate the potential scope and effect of the ditch on the mitigation site. G) Describe any other mitigation options considered (attach additional information as needed): Application and notification is hereby made for a permit or permits to authorize the activities described herein.

This trail is part of a planned trail system in Farmington and will link to other trails in the city system. The 195th Street road project will provide an opportunity to build a portion of the trail immediately. The trail will serve as a temporary access road to allow construction of the mitigation site being created as part of the 195th Street project. This road will later be turned into a paved pedestrian trail linking with other trails in the city system.

The ditch block should have a positive affect on a large existing wetland located northwest of the mitigation site by restoring a higher outlet resulting in fully or at least partially restoring the hydrology of this basin. Raising the outlet elevation higher than 905.0 is not possible due to potential flooding of land that is outside ownership of the city. The restoration of the existing wetland is an added benefit and is not included in the mitigation calculation. The proposed mitigation will be accomplished by excavation. Flows from the ditch will be directed to the mitigation site prior to discharge into the ditch. Soil pits dug during the delineation indicate a clay later approximately 8-inches below the surface. This clay layer will be stockpiled and re-spread on the mitigation site to a depth of 6-inches. This combined with excavation of the mitigation site to an elevation that is near the ditch bottom should eliminate the potential scope and effect of the ditch on the mitigation site. G) Describe any other mitigation options considered {attach additional information as needed}: Application and notification is hereby made for a permit or permits to authorize the activities described herein. I certify that I am familiar with the information contained in this application, and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, such information is true, complete, and accurate.
