Watering Restriction Issues
DATE:
August 6, 2001
INTRODUCTION
At the July 16th City Council meeting two residents forwarded concerns regarding the City's watering
restrictions.
DISCUSSION
One resident indicated that the watering restriction rules are unclear and a warning should have been
issued to her instead of a citation. The Water Board instituted the odd/even water restriction policy in
January of 2000. As part of the initial educational effort, the new policy was advertised in the City
newsletter, the Farmington Independent and the utility billings. Warnings were issued to violators of
the policy through July 31, 2000. Starting August 1, 2000, citations have been issued for violations
to the policy. In 2001, in addition to the policy being advertised in the Independent and the City
newsletter, the policy was mailed to all addresses in Farmington.
Another resident wanted to know how the City is planning to meet the water needs of the community.
There are concerns regarding the recent temporary total watering ban and subsequent additional
restrictions implemented. The situation that Farmington has experienced this summer with water
supply is due to the very high temperatures and relatively long periods of little or no precipitation.
Those conditions created a water demand for lawn sprinkling that, on July 8, was beyond the City's
capacity to produce water. The evening of July 8th many people came home from the July 4th
Holiday and started up the washing machines, dishwashers, lawn sprinklers etc. and the City's
facilities could not keep up with the demand. The water in the reservoirs dropped to levels that
would not support adequate fire protection. That evening, a total watering ban was instituted by the
Water Board, which was in place until Tuesday morning, July 10. At that time, the current odd/even
policy with no outside water use allowed between lOAM and 6 PM and no exemptions for new sod
and seed was put in place.
At this time, citations are only being issued for violations of the odd/even part of the policy.
Residents in violation of the lOAM to 6 PM restriction are being given a flyer explaining the policy
and are asked to shut their water off. Citations are not being issued for the revised portions of the
water use restriction policy at this time, unless the property owner has been notified previously and
continues to violate the new provisions. No permits for new sod or seed are being issued at this time.
The City's water supply system is appropriately designed to meet the City's needs, however, it is not
recommended from a fiscal standpoint to build the facilities necessary to be able to meet the demand
in the extreme cases such as we have experienced this summer. Those additional facilities would be
un-utilized except in these extreme cases, which over time, may not occur, on average, even once a
year. The City's Water Supply and Distribution Plan identifies the facilities and timing of those
facilities needed to address the growth of the City. The current facilities are appropriate for the City
at this time and new facilities will be constructed as needed to address the City's growth. As part of
the on-going planning of the City's water system, the Water Board started discussing the timing of
installing additional wells earlier this spring and will be reviewing a feasibility report regarding the
drilling of new wells at the August Water Board meeting.
BUDGET IMPACT
None.

NOTICE
Watering Restrictions have been revised as of Tuesday, July 10,
2001. Effective immediately:
ALL outside water use is prohibited from 10 AM to 6 PM,
Every Day until further notice.
Outside watering before 10 AM and after 6 PM will be allowed per the
City's odd/even watering policy Excee1.;, Watering of new sod or
seed will also only be allowed per the odd/even policy - even if
an ExemDtion Permit has been issued. No more exemption permits
will be issued until further notice.
This recent period of high temperatures and virtually no rainfall has created a demand for
water that can exceed the capacity of the City's facilities. This situation is occurring in many
cities throughout the Metro area. The' total watering ban that was enacted on July 8 was an
action necessary to replenish the City's water reserves in order to ensure adequate water
pressure for essential residential use and fire protection needs. The lifting of the total ban
with the revised requirements is an attempt to allow some watering, yet keep the City's
reserves at safe levels. However, it is mandatory that citizens continue to
conserve water as much as possible. There is no significant rain in the forecast
for the near future. Being able to continue with watering as outlined above is
dependent on the weather and the ability of the residents in Farmington to keep the
water demand within the City's ability to produce water. A total ban will be re-
enacted, if necessary, to ensure adequate water supply for fire protection.
Failure to comply with the City's water restrictions policy carries an initial administrative
penalty of $25, with subsequent fines for violations within the same calendar year at $50.
Please call 651-463-1600 with any questions. The City appreciates your cooperation in this
matter.

Nelsen Hills Townhomes
FROM:
SUBJECT:
DATE:
August 6th, 2001
INTRODUCTION
This memo is in response to resident comments at the July 16th, 2001 council meeting and to serve as
a project update regarding the grading at Nelsen Hills Townhomes.
DISCUSSION
Project status
At the July 16th, 2001 Council Meeting, Council authorized staff to proceed with correcting
outstanding grading issues at Nelsen Hills Townhomes. Staff has prepared a proposal and has
distributed that proposal to four different landscape contractors. Quotations are due on Friday,
August 3rd, 2001. Barring unforeseen problems, the City may be able to enter into a contract with the
low quoting contractor on Monday, August 6th. At that time, a work schedule will be requested of the
contractor.
Scope of Work
Attached is a copy of the proposal form sent to the landscaping contractors. The following items will
be addressed as part of the contract.
. All water services will be adjusted to grade
. A water service to the east of 18568 Euclid Path will be repaired.
. The hydrant outside of 18588 Euclid Path will be raised to meet City standards.
. The slope at the pond to the south of 18588 & 18590 Euclid Path will be seeded and
fiberblanketed. The front yard of 18584 will receive 4" of black dirt and sod. All other disturbed
areas will be final graded and sodded.
. Trees will be added to the top of the slope between Pilot Knob Road and the townhomes. As part
of the original Nelsen Hills Townhomes project, screening was required on the berm along CSAH
31. Staff has included trees within the contract in an effort to screen and minimize noise from
Pilot Knob Road. Attached is a copy of the proposed tree planting plan.
City staff has been coordinating with the residents on this project and has regularly updated the
residents in writing and verbally on progress and the City's course of action. Since Council
authorization was given to resolve the outstanding issues, staffhas worked to develop a complete and
accurate proposal and to solicit quotations as quickly as possible.
BUDGET IMPACT
A supplemental memo will be available Monday to report the bid results.
ACTION REQUESTED
None.

5. ANNOUNCEMENTS
6. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Ms. Jeri Jolly, 1004 Maple Street, stated last year they sold a portion of their property for
an easement to construct 11 th Street. As the City has an odd/even watering restriction,
she received a citation for watering the sod on the wrong day. The sod was installed by
the developer after messing up her yard when the street was installed. She did not
intentionally break the law, and did not know she needed an exemption permit. With the
watering ban, the rules are changing faster than the media can keep up with. She agrees
that Farmington needs safe water conditions, but would like the City to consider giving
residents some slack. She feels the citation is harsh. She suggested a warning be issued
first, as everyone is not aware of the rules. This is a minor issue as far as the ticket is
concerned, but a major issue as far as how City government is viewed.
a) Nelsen Hills Twin Homes Grading Concerns
Mr. Kevin Hofman, Attorney for Nelsen Hills Townhome owners, listed several
items as follows: a fire hydrant is below grade; water shutoffs are 6-10" above
grade; the grading process has been partially done but it needs to be finished and
sodded; trees need to be planted; sod has been placed over gravel; and a retaining
wall needs to be replaced or repaired. The owners would like to know when and
what will be done and who will be doing the work. City Engineer Mann stated
there are some things that still need to be taken care of. A lot of the grading has
been done in the last 2 weeks. Staff was asking the Council for authorization to
have the City contract for the work to be done and to recoup the funds from the
developer.
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 16,2001
Page 2
Mr. Al Larson, 18588 Euclid Path, stated Siska has not at any time complied with
the City. There is a stop work order on a unit. Councilmember Strachan stated
the City will have the work completed by using the surety. The City is not
waiting for Siska to do the work. The question is when the City can contract to
have the work done. City Engineer Mann stated when Council authorizes the
expenditure of additional funds beyond the surety, staff will seek quotes to
complete the work and forward a schedule to the residents and Council. Interim
City Administrator Roland stated a letter has been sent to Siska indicating the
City is finished with discussions with Siska, proposes to complete the work and to
provide for the cost by coverage of the surety and anything to come out of City
funds to be recouped by the builder. Mr. Larson asked how soon this will be
completed. Mayor Ristow stated as soon as this is approved by Council, staff will
be able to obtain quotes. City Engineer Mann stated local contractors will be
asked to provide quotes as soon as possible. Staff could request a schedule with
the quote. Mr. Larson then stated the fire hydrant in his yard is quite low and not
flagged. Councilmember Soderberg stated that is a public safety issue and should
be addressed as soon as possible. City Engineer Mann stated staffwill review
that item and if it is a significant public safety hazard that item can be dealt with
separately as an emergency item.
Ms. Kelly Canada, 18568 Euclid Path, asked when staffhad Siska there to receive
quotes, will the City be getting estimates for completing the same work or only
what is covered by the surety plus some? City Engineer Mann replied there was a
retaining wall requested along Pilot Knob Road. The City does not have any
plans showing that wall was ever proposed. All the other items will be included
in the quotes. Whether that is $11,000 or $9,000 it is the City's intent to get the
job done. Ms. Canada then asked regarding the time frame and wanted
reassurance this will be stayed on top of. Councilmember Cordes stated Council
will stay on top of it, but cannot assure her when they will be able to get the
workers there. Ms. Canada stated that Assistant City Engineer Gross had told
them once the approval is received and the workers come in, it would take no
more than 1 week to complete the work. Councilmember Strachan stated staff has
to live within the requirements as far as bidding. Staff also has to follow the
contractor's schedule.
Ms. Pat Larson, 18588 Euclid Path, stated everyone is getting very disgusted. It
has been 2 years with no sod and no yards. Siska completely dug up one yard and
have nothing but dirt. She asked Assistant City Engineer Gross if they would
have to wait until September to get sod. She stated he told her they will not have
to wait until September. If the work is not done by Siska by last week
Wednesday, the City would have it done in 2 weeks. Now she is hearing
September or maybe later. Councilmember Strachan stated the Council is trying
to be careful not to make promises they cannot keep as far as timing. The City
will be stepping in to get the work done. When this is approved, staff has
received specific instructions to get the work done. Mayor Ristow asked how an
occupancy permit was issued? Community Development Director Olson replied
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 16,2001
Page 3
typically temporary C.O.'s are issued during the fall and winter months, and with
the as-built survey requirements, they are issued year round. Most of the time
grading and sodding are completed within the time allowed. Mayor Ristow
assured her Council and staff will do everything they can.
Ms. Nancy Maxwell, 18894 Euclid Path, stated for 2 years residents have been restricted
in water use. She felt that should be enough notice to the City that there are not adequate
facilities so people can do as they need to do. What is the City doing to provide adequate
facilities? Mayor Ristow stated there are new well sites projected. The Water Board has
purchased land. City Engineer Mann stated discussions are preliminary as to when the
next well will be drilled. Mayor Ristow stated staff will research how long this has been
in process. Ms. Maxwell stated it is not the citizen's fault if there is not enough water to
fight a fire, it is that the facilities are not adequate and we need to stop talking and do
something about it. Mayor Ristow stated he would agree. Ms. Maxwell stated she feels
unfortunate that she moved here. She put a lot of money in her yard. She is a very busy
person and has to live her life around a sprinkler plan. It is time to start spending money
appropriately. Water would be one of the first things she would expect from the City.
Forget the self-esteem training and all the other garbage, get the water.
Mayor Ristow stated a lot of calls have been received regarding the watering restrictions
and there has been a lot of confusion with the notices. It is not a direct shot at the Water
Board, but there was a policy brought to the Council last November requesting an
odd/even sprinkling system and Council rejected it. The Water Board has the authority to
override Council and that is what they did. They felt they needed a watering ban, and the
Water Board has the authority according to State statute. It has been hot and dry and
people do vent. Mayor Ristow stated he does believe if you have the product you should
be able to use it. Unfortunately, a month ago we were complaining it was too wet.
Things can change and it is hard to predict. Mayor Ristow stated we need to do some
coordination with the Water Board and Council and communicate a little better when
things like this do come up. A lot of people do not get the newspaper or cable TV. One
minute it is stated you can get a permit and the next minute the Independent ran an article
stating 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Then there was also an ad that did not address the timing. It is
no one's fault it is just a matter of trying to get the word out there. People have new sod
and depend on the water. The City is working on getting new supplies of water. He
suggested sending a mailing in the future so everyone is aware of the situation.
Councilmember Strachan stated the Water Board is tasked with planning and making
rules about the water in conjunction with Council. It is a balance of prudent fiscal
management and at the same time making sure we have enough water for fires. The
Water Board does a good job. This is an extremely long dry period. We could spend
millions of extra dollars to build new facilities with an increase in water rates. A lot of
cities are in the same boat. There are plans in the books. Mayor Ristow stated perhaps
people that watch the water levels can take notice if it is happening quicker than we can
refurbish, maybe we need to act a little quicker. He is not saying they did not act quick
enough, it took us off guard. Councilmember Cordes stated the water levels can drop all
at once and feels the City did the appropriate thing. Mayor Ristow stated when residents
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 16, 2001
Page 4
have $5,000 worth of sod, the City could run into the situation of who pays for the sod?
Communication plays a big part. The Water Board will meet July 23, if those who
received citations would like to address it.

8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
9. AWARD OF CONTRACT
10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a) Vermillion Grove Wetland Alteration Permit - Community Development
Rottlund Homes has submitted a Wetland Conservation Act Application for road
fill on DNR Protected Water Basin in the Vermillion Grove project. The
application is required when projects are proposing to impact water/wetland
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 16,2001
Page 5
resources regulated by local, state and federal agencies implementing the MN
Wetland Conservation Act of 1991. A Notice of Application was mailed on
January 31, 2001 and initial comments on the application were due February 22,
2001. The City issued a 60-day extension for submitting comments on the
application to June 11,2001. The grading plan indicates that wetland fill has been
reduced from the original application of 14,800 square feet to 8,400 square feet in
the revised application. The project involves the relocation of the driveway
access to Akin Road from the Dale Pettis property. The existing driveway access
from the Pettis property will be removed and this area will be regraded to match
adjacent slopes. Additionally, the mailbox and split rail fence will be relocated.
The Developer proposes to relocate the driveway to the back of the Pettis property
in order to access 198th Street that requires the wetland fill. The process requires
that the City, acting as the Local Government Unit, approve the application and
prepare a Notice of Decision for distribution to the reviewing agencies.
MOTION by Verch, second by Cordes approving the Wetland Conservation Act
Application for the wetland fill to DNR Protected Water 19-353W in the
Vermillion Grove project. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
b) Request for Plat Filing Extension - Vermillion Grove - Community
Development
The Developer received approval from the City Council for the Vermillion Grove
Final Plat on February 5,2001. Section 11-2-3(E) of the City Code requires that
upon approval of the final plat by City Council, the Developer shall record the
final plat with the Dakota County Recorder within 75 days after the approval.
The Vermillion Grove Final Plat should have been recorded by April 20, 2001.
However, the Development Contract explains in article 2( d) that "the Developer
record the plat with the County Recorder within 75 days after Council approval of
the final plat or 30 days after the execution of the Development Contract." The
City Attorney has suggested to eliminate the filing method of "30 days after the
execution of the Development Contract" from future Development Contracts in
order to remain consistent with City Code requirements. The Developer has
requested an extension for recordation of the Vermillion Grove Final Plat to the
end of October to allow Rottlund Homes to obtain the required securities as stated
in the Development Contract. MOTION by Strachan, second by Soderberg
approving a time extension for the filing of the Vermillion Grove Final Plat with
the County Recorder to the end of October. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
c) Annexation Petition - William Adelman Property - Community Development
William and Audrey Adelmann had previously filed a petition to annex 150.96
acres located in the NE 1/4 of Section 1, Eureka Township (comer of Denmark
Avenue and 220th Street). State Law provides that Eureka Township has up to 90
days to file a formal objection to the annexation petition. Eureka filed this notice
on May 14,2001 with the Minnesota Office of Strategic and Long Range
planning - Boundary Adjustments and the City of Farmington. The following
steps would need to be followed if the City wishes to continue to proceed with the
annexation petition:
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 16,2001
Page 6
1. The City would adopt a formal resolution accepting the annexation petition
and forward that document to the state.
2. The State Office of Boundary Adjustments would take jurisdiction of the
matter and determine if the Township's objection was filed in a timely
manner.
3. The State would set the matter for a hearing within 30-60 days of receiving
the petition.
4. The state has indicated that prior to the hearing that the parties would be
required to meet by themselves at least three times to work things out and
report the results.
5. If still unresolved, mediation will be the next step delaying the hearing date
and would cost the parties between $2,000 - $4,000.
6. If still at an impasse, arbitration or an Administrative Law Judge Hearing
would be conducted at a cost of$15,000 - $25,000.
7. Litigation of the result of this process is also a possibility with an
undetermined cost.
The Council was requested to consider two options:
1. Instruct staff to prepare a resolution accepting the annexation petition; or
2. Indicate that the City does not wish to further pursue the annexation petition
received from William Adelmann at this time.
Mayor Ristow asked if Mr. Adelmann had any questions. Mr. Adelmann stated
he wanted to know how the Council felt. Whether to go ahead with the
annexation or let it go. Mayor Ristow stated in discussions with Mr. Adelmann,
so far the process has cost Mr. Adelmann $1,168. He then asked if Mr. Adelmann
was under the impression after the workshop with Eureka Township and
Farmington that the process would move ahead. Mr. Adelmann stated that was
the impression he received. He did not realize there would be a problem with the
township. He would withdraw the request if Council would consider a 60 acre
annexation. Councilmember Strachan stated he is not interested in an adversarial
process with Eureka Township. The best resolution is for Eureka and the City to
continue to meet. In the workshop, Eureka wanted to know if this land was
annexed, what would come next? Councilmember Strachan stated he did not
have an answer for them. Until Eureka has those answers they will continue to
object and 60 acres at a time does not answer that question. Councilmember
Soderberg stated he thought they would entertain conversation regarding an
orderly annexation, but there is a time schedule. Councilmember Strachan
suggested Mr. Adelmann ask Eureka what would make them comfortable with
this process. Mayor Ristow stated Mr. Adelmann wants to know if he brought in
60 acres, the township cannot file an objection under the rules. Community
Development Director Olson stated Council has the discretion whether or not to
approve it. Mayor Ristow stated from the workshop, Council wants to make sure
what Eureka's concerns were and what the land would be used for. Mr.
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 16, 2001
Page 7
Adelmann stated that is why he wanted to annex, because he thought the City
would have some ideas on what the land would be used for and what it is worth.
City Attorney Jamnik stated the action at this meeting is only for this petition. If
an orderly annexation process is agreed upon between the City and Eureka, it is
possible to annex the 150 acres and any other land. Mr. Adelmann would not
need to file another application. By rejecting this petition, Council is not rejecting
the idea to development an orderly annexation process with Eureka.
Councilmember Soderberg stated it would be more productive to reason with the
township.
Mayor Ristow then asked Mr. Adelmann ifhe had any other questions, because
when they talked, Mr. Adelmann had indicated he was concerned with the fee.
Mr. Adelmann stated he was wondering about it, ifit is gone ifhe withdraws his
request. City Attorney Jamnik stated the application was filed and both staff and
the attorney's office have done a substantial amount of work on this. The state
has opened a file on it, Eureka has reviewed it and responded, so it has gone down
the road quite a ways to simply close the file. It is not a situation where you can
just refund the application and think it has never happened. What is being
considered now is a motion by Council to close the file and decide not to proceed
with the annexation. That was communicated clearly to the applicant in the
beginning that there is no guarantees that anyone would come in free and clear of
any township objection, or if the land did come in that MUSA would be extended
or development occur. His concern is there are many other property owners that
will have annexation petitions filed with the City. If the end result is every time
we process up to 3-6 months, we decide not to go forward with it and we refund
the application, that ignores the requirement for the application. The fee is not
only for successful annexations, but for the process. If there is an orderly
annexation agreement, there is no fee because then it is an agreement between the
City and the Township. Mayor Ristow stated he would agree, but what he is
hearing from Mr. Adelmann is that he gave a check. Mr. Adelmann stated he was
assured there would be no problem getting annexed. Mayor Ristow stated so
when you came in to apply for the petition someone told you there would be no
problem? Mr. Adelmann said yes, because it is bordering the City on two sides
and other criteria. Mayor Ristow asked if that was when he issued the check. Mr.
Adelmann replied yes, he wrote the check out and he thought at the time they
were going to hold the check. Mayor Ristow asked why he thought that way, was
it insinuated that way or were you told that? Mr. Adelmann stated he is not sure,
but he was surprised when the check came back. Community Development
Director Olson stated Mr. Adelmann filed his application in August 2000. The
check was deposited shortly after the application was filed which is typically our
practice. The fees are associated with the cost of processing the application. All
applications that were pending at that time were put on hold while the MUSA
discussions and criteria and the procedures by which the MUSA expansion
process was going to be reviewed were discussed, so another letter was sent in
January to all property owners that had previously petitioned for annexation
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 16,2001
Page 8
asking if they wished to proceed. A new application was filed by Mr. Adelmann
in January and that is when the process began. The City does not make it a
practice of telling people there is not a problem, it has a public review process to
go through. Annexation and MUSA are not guaranteed. Mayor Ristow stated
based on that, it did not take the full course. Community Development Director
Olson replied no it has not. The 90 day notice is what triggered the workshop
with Eureka. Mayor Ristow asked if there would be some rebate since there was
a misunderstanding? City Attorney Jamnik stated his recommendation would be
no, because annexation petitions sometimes do not go the way the applicant
wants, and if every time it does not go their way, the City refunds all or a portion
of the fund, you will have more people making applications as well as a difficult
question for Council as to what cases justify a refund of the fee. The file has been
open and we have been working on it for a year. Councilmember Soderberg
stated Council would be opening a Pandora's box because there have been
requests for refunds for application fees for conditional use permits, variances,
and other items. The process is there is no guarantee the process will go in their
favor. Mayor Ristow stated Mr. Adelmann is telling us there was a guarantee that
there was no problem. He has known Mr. Adelmann for many years, and he is a
truthful man and he respects what Mr. Adelmann is telling him. The Mayor stated
he is not insinuating that staff made the accusation either. There is some
miscommunication and he would suggest an investigation as to what happened in
the process, or recommend if it did not take the full process and was stopped half
way through why should he pay the full fee? Councilmember Soderberg stated
when it was first brought to Council, we indicated a willingness to bring it in. If
Eureka had not objected, it would have been a done deal. City Attorney Jamnik
stated if Council decides on option 1, the fees would come out of the General
Fund. Councilmember Soderberg stated they do not want to get into an
adversarial relationship with Eureka. It is much more productive to work out an
agreement. Councilmember Strachan suggested staff send Eureka a letter
outlining what has been discussed and request to continue the process of
developing an orderly annexation agreement.
MOTION by Soderberg, second by Cordes indicating the City does not wish to
further pursue the annexation petition received from William Adelmann at this
time. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
d) Consider Ordinance - Rezoning Benham Property A-I to B-1 - Community
Development
Lowell and Janet Benham, 21228 Chippendale Avenue, are seeking approval to
amend the 2020 Comprehensive Plan for No Designation to Business and to
rezone properties from A-I to B-1. The two parcels are located on the northwest
comer of Trunk: Highway 3 and 213th Street. The two parcels, totaling 1.88 acres
were approved for annexation on June 18,2001. The properties were not
considered within the 2020 Comprehensive Plan because they were still part of
Empire Township. The existing land use is single-family residential. The B-1
zoning district is located along certain segments of Trunk: Highway 3 to
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 16,2001
Page 9
accommodate vehicular oriented type businesses. Staff is in the process of
coordinating realignment to the frontage road along Highway 3 to be relocated to
the rear of the fronting properties. The owners are willing to swap the property
containing the frontage road with the necessary right-of-way needed for the new
roadway. MOTION by Verch, second by Soderberg adopting RESOLUTION
R66-01 amending the 2020 Comprehensive Plan from No Designation to
Business. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Soderberg, second by
Cordes adopting ORDINANCE 001-466 rezoning the subject property from A-I
to B-1 concerning the subject property as described in the legal description.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
e) Trunk Hwy 3 Bridge Funding Considerations - Engineering
MnDOT is proposing to replace the bridge on Trunk Highway 3 located just north
of County Road 66. This bridge is located in Empire Township. There are two
funding issues related to the replacement of the bridge for Council consideration.
MnDOT would participate in the costs of aesthetic improvements for the bridge
up to 5% of the construction cost of the bridge, approximately $25,000 - $30,000.
This would allow for a painted railing and coloring of the concrete on the bridge.
Improvements similar to the aesthetic treatments on the bridge over the river on
CSAH 50 could cost $75,000 - $100,000 or more. Costs over and above
MnDOT's cost participation levels would have to be paid for by Empire Township
and/or the City. Empire Township has indicated they are not willing to fund
additional aesthetic improvements on the bridge over and above the
improvements MnDOT would fund. The City would also not be able to
participate in the aesthetics of the bridge since the bridge is not within the City
limits.
The second issue is the turn lane for the future 208th Street. It is in the City's
transportation plan and the County has identified the need that 208th Street be
extended westerly in the future from its current terminus to Trunk Highway 3 at
the intersection with County Road 66. When 208th Street is extended to TH3, a
right turn lane for south bound traffic on TH 3 needing to go west on 208th Street
will need to be part of the intersection. The estimated cost to expand the bridge to
include the right turn lane is approximately $61,000. Staff recommended that this
turn lane be included with this project now due to the future construction cost
implications and unknowns regarding possible changes to design standards.
MnDOT would require that the City pay for 100% of the cost of the additional
improvements necessary to construct the bridge to accommodate the future right
turn lane. Councilmember Soderberg stated it would be great to have the
aesthetic improvements and the turn lane, but it is tough for him to justify
spending City tax dollars for a project that is not in the City. Mayor Ristow stated
he would agree but at this point the bridge is just being expanded. City Engineer
Mann stated they would not actually stripe a turn lane at this point.
Councilmember Cordes stated she would also have a problem justifying spending
$61,000 when it is not on City property. Councilmember Strachan stated the
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 16,2001
Page 10
expansion of20Sth Street will also benefit Empire Township. He supported doing
the turn lane now and requesting Empire to participate in the cost.
Council denied participating in the aesthetics of the proposed bridge. MOTION
by Verch, second by Strachan authorizing staff to indicate to MnDOT the City's
desire to see the southbound right turn lane constructed with the proposed bridge
project and that the City would agree to pay for the additional costs to construct
the bridge with the subject turn lane. Staff will also communicate with Empire
Township to participate in a percentage of the cost. Voting for: Ristow,
Strachan, Verch. Voting against: Cordes, Soderberg. MOTION CARRIED.
t) Consider Resolution - ISD 192 - Request for Improvements - Engineering
ISD 192 has requested installation of infrastructure improvements necessary for
the development of the new elementary school site to be located west of the
Charleswood development, south of 195th Street, on the former Nordseth
property. In order for the School District to develop the new elementary school,
sanitary sewer and water main need to be extended to the site and 19Sth Street
needs to be extended westerly from its current terminus west of CSAH 31.
Sanitary sewer would be extended from the south and water main would be routed

is moving from the City. The term of this seat is through January 31, 2004. Staff

rinks, the youth could use them year round for inline hockey and skateboarding.
A possible skateboard/skate park could be placed on one of the rinks. The Park
and Recreation Commission recommends that up to $5,000 be provided to match
funds that the students raise for a skate park. A low quote of $35,062 was
received from Bituminous Roadways for the paving ofthe outdoor hockey rink.

the Middle School Rink site and approving up to $5,000 of matching funds for a
Skate Park. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
c) Fiber Optic Cabling Connections Downtown City Facilities - Finance
Staff investigated the possibility of installing fiber optic cable between City Hall
and the Senior Center and downtown Liquor Store. This would allow these
facilities to be connected to the Citywide computer network. The connection to
the Senior Center would cost $9,000 and the connection to the Liquor Store would
cost $6,300. MOTION by Cordes, second by Soderberg approving installation of
fiber optic cabling between City Hall and the Senior Center and Liquor Store
buildings to be funded by the Communications fund. APIF, MOTION

City Engineer Mann: Bids were received on the 195th Street project. They will
be forward to Council August 6, 2001.
Mr. Tom Jensen, a member of the Water Board, addressed the Council regarding the
watering restrictions. He stated the Mayor has known him for 40 years and sometimes
Mr. Jensen says what he feels and it may upset people and it may not. Mr. Jensen was
upset tonight because of the jab the Water Board got about how Council did not want the
restriction and the Water Board overruled Council. The Water Board attends the
meetings, studies the situation and listens to the Engineer and the lawyer and decides
what is best. The Water Board felt the City had to have a watering restriction and he is
glad they do have one. As far as all the trouble, he apologized for it. The City water
tower was down to 3.8 feet of water. If there had been a fire, the City could not have
handled it. The Water Board felt they should put on a full ban, including sod and seed.
The City Attorney suggested they not do that because of the possible litigation over dying
sod. But because of the situation the Water Board decided to go ahead with the ban
anyway. It is not because there are too many people living here, the City has the water
capacity. It has been dry and people have been watering. People with sod water
continually all day and it does not need it. The Water Board went with the odd/even
restriction after two days with no watering from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Flyers were distributed
house to house. It was mentioned earlier, Lakeville did not have a watering ban. Three
weeks ago Lakeville asked Farmington to open the valve because they had 9 feet of water
and they have 11 wells. The Water Board said no because Farmington would lose all it's
water. Mr. Jensen said he is sorry it confused people, but it will remain this way and be
discussed at the next Water Board meeting on July 23, 2001. The Water Board has to
have a chance to fix the situation. We try to keep water accessible to people. The Water
Board did not see this coming. If residents think we are not doing our job, come to our
meetings. Don't start beating us up when you don't know what's happening.
Mayor Ristow stated he thinks he is the one that made the comments. He stated he made
it very clear that all our boards are appointed and supported by the Council. There were a
lot of questions from the people that called. He told the residents Council appoints these
people and supports their decisions. There was no direct stab regarding the Water
Board's planning on his part. The Mayor stated he supported the Water Board's decision.
Three Council members did not support the watering restriction proposal when it was
first brought to Council. The Water Board decided to go ahead with the restriction three
months later. That is how the process works. Mr. Jensen stated he would rather have
brown grass than a house burn down. Mayor Ristow stated he did not want Mr. Jensen to
leave with the impression that he was making accusations that he was not doing a good
job. Mr. Jensen stated that is what he heard from Council, but not all of you. Mayor
Ristow said he knew he spoke, but that was not his intent. Mr. Jensen replied Mr. Mayor
then I am directing that to you. Mayor Ristow apologized but he was trying to make it
clear to the residents how the process works. Councilmember Soderberg stated given the
circumstances, the right decision was made. Mr. Jensen said it was a hard decision to
make. He also wants to water. How do you explain to residents that their neighbor with
new sod can water, but they can't? Mayor Ristow stated that is why we appointed you to
the Water Board. We knew you would make the right decision. After the July 23
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 16,2001
Page 13
meeting, a letter will be sent to residents. Councilmember Soderberg discussed the fines
and suggested the City could issue warnings first and then a fine. City Engineer Mann
stated the enforcement is for the odd/even part of the policy. That policy has been in
effect over a year. Every household received a copy of that policy. If residents have a
sod/seed permit that has not expired, they only receive a warning. We are not citing until
all residents have been informed of the 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. restriction. Exemption permits
are currently not being issued. Mayor Ristow asked it be conveyed to the Water Board
that whatever decision is made to get the message out.

SUBJECT: Clean Up Day 2001
DATE: August 6,2001
INTRODUCTION
The City recently completed its first annual Curbside Clean Up Day. This project has helped the
community in its efforts to keep Farmington beautiful.
DISCUSSION
The attached memo outlines the quantity of materials handled at the event. I would like to
commend staff and contracted vendors for their hard work and dedication on the project.
BUDGET IMPACT
The cost for the Curbside Clean Up Day came to a total of $73,382.70. Funding for Curbside
Clean Up Day is included within the Solid Waste Department budget. However, the expenses are
$28,382.00 over the budgeted $45,000.00 amount. The Solid Waste budget is capable of absorbing
this increase.
The total cost may be somewhat less in 2002, due to the overwhelming use of the program in 2001.
City residents may have less waste to dispose of in the program I s second year.

cost of all four Clean Up Days was $73,382.70 (the above totals plus a base charge of$15,017.40 for
trucks and staff). When you divide the overall cost of Curbside Clean Up Days by the approximate
number of residential properties that were eligible to participate, the average cost per household was
$18.57. ".
The curbside collection was more convenient and accessible to residential solid waste customers and
brought in much larger quantities of materials as the following chart shows:
Material 2001 2000 _ _ _ 1999 ~___~__1998 ,
Garbage 264.06 50.74 42.84 51.37
Tires 2017 630 368 394
Electronics 22.48 7.67 nla nla
A liances 820 269 171 168
"
Some suggestions to consider for future Curbside Clean Ups would be:
. Have customers subsidize electronics and tires with a minimal fee (and to reduce materials
from outside of the City.).
. Each solid waste route be assigned it's own Saturday, instead of two routes on one day.
. Address multi-family dwellings more specifically (i.e. Though appliances may typically be
considered a business expense to the property owner, electronics would not be.)

Naming of Parks - East Farmington and Depot Way

August 6, 2001
INTRODUCTION
The Parks and Recreation Commission has named the park in East Farmington and
renamed the Depot Way Park.

the naming of the park in East Farmington. After discussions at two separate meetings,
the Commission unanimously named it Prairie View Park. This name will pertain only
to the 5-acre parcel on the northeast comer of lih street and highway 50.
The Commission also received a recommendation from the outdoor arts group to rename
the Depot Way Park in order to reflect the art theme. The word arts was incorporated into
the name of the park (Depot Way Arts Park).

Consider Resolution - Meadow Creek Preliminary Plat
DATE:
August 6, 2001
INTRODUCTION
Warren Israelson of Progress Land Company proposes to plat 178 single-family residential lots on 159.35
acres in the first phase of Meadow Creek. The proposed subdivision is located west of Prairie Creek and north
of Autumn Glen in the northeast comer of the City of Farmington. The property is bounded on the west by
single-family residential, on the north by proposed single-family residential, on the east by open space and on
the south by developing single-family residential.
DISCUSSION
The Developer proposes to plat 178 single-family lots on 159.35 acres in the first phase of Meadow Creek. A
total of three outlots make up the remainder of the plat. Outlot A consists of a storm water management pond
and Outlots Band C consist of future phases of the Meadow Creek development.
At full development, the Developer proposes 354 single-family residential lots along with a 4.54 acre
neighborhood park and a number of storm water ponds. The property currently consists of a man-made
drainage ditch that is utilized as an outlet for Lake Julia and runs southwesterly through the property. A
number of wetlands exist on the site. Some of the wetlands are identified for removal as recommended in the
Environmental Assessment Worksheet approved by the City Council on July 20, 1998. The property is
currently vacant but was farmed in recent years.
The property is zoned R-l single-family residential. The maximum lot coverage for an R-l single-family zone
is 25%. The minimum lot size for the development is 10,000 square feet. The attached list shows that all lots
proposed on the preliminary plat meet the 10,000 square foot minimum. The minimum lot width is 75 feet
measured at the front yard setback. Two lots on the preliminary plat do not meet the minimum lot width;
therefore the Developer is required to apply for a variance to the minimum lot width before approval of the
final plat.
Proposed Housing
The Developer proposes both split-entry and walkout construction with homes in the price range of $160,000
to $250,000. Architectural controls will be enforced through a recorded protective covenant.
'~
The Developer estimates 3.0 persons per household thereby estimating a population of 1,062 persons. They
also estimate the adult population range to be between 531 to 850 (50% to 80%) adults and the estimated child
population range to be between 212 to 531 (20% to 50%) children.
The Developer proposes the density at 2.22 units/acre falling within the low-density requirement of 1.0 to 3.5
dwelling unit per acre Land Use Plan designation for this area contained in the approved 2020 Comprehensive
Plan.
Planning Commission Meeting - July 20, 2001
The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of the Meadow Creek Preliminary Plat at
their July 20, 2001 meeting. At the meeting, a number of issues were discussed including the retention of trees
at the shared border of Meadow Creek and Autumn Glen, transportation issues including the redesignation of
187th Street as a minor collector street and the resolution of grading and drainage issues in the Prairie Creek
4th Addition.
Retention of Trees
The Developer is working with Arcon Development, Developer of Autumn Glen, to determine the location of
the larger trees (6 inch in diameter or larger) along the shared property line between Meadow Creek and
Autumn Glen. It has been determined that most of the larger trees might be retained if drainage swales are
located on the north and south sides of the trees both on the Meadow Creek and Autumn Glen properties.
Arcon Development has recently met with current residents in Autumn Glen to discuss the proposed tree
retention.
Transportation Analysis
The City's traffic engineer, Shelly Johnson, has prepared a traffic assessment for the Meadow Creek Project at
full development of 354 single-family units. Mr. Johnson estimates daily 2-way traffic volumes at 3,390 trips.
He estimates 65 trips into the subdivision at the morning peak hour and 200 trips out of the subdivision. At the
evening peak hour, 230 trips are estimated into the subdivision and 125 out of the subdivision at full
development of 354 lots.
Mr. Johnson also estimates that at full development an additional 2,030 vehicles will utilize 187th Street to
travel to/from Embers Avenue and/or Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31). He states that because of this volume on
187th Street, the street's function will be converted from a local street to a neighborhood collector street and it
will be able to accommodate the expected volumes.
He recommends that both 187th Street and the north-south street extending from Dunbury A venue in Autumn
Glen be classified as minor collector streets.
187th Street is proposed to tie in with the existing route through Prairie Creek 4th Addition and is proposed at
38 feet wide front to front with a 70-foot right-of-way. This roadway connects with Pilot Knob Road on the
west and will eventually intersect with 195th Street as it turns southeasterly.
The north/south roadway that ties in with Dunbury A venue in the Autumn Glen subdivision to the south and
accesses to the north through the proposed Riverbend development is also proposed with a 38-foot wide front
to front pavement and a 70-foot right-of-way. Each collector will have a sidewalk on one side of the street.
The remaining local streets are proposed at 32 feet wide front to front with a 6O-foot right-of-way. The
Developer will be required to seek a variance for the cul-de-sac that surrounds Outlot A because it exceeds the
500-foot cul-de-sac length by 100 feet.
Resolution of Grading and Drainage Issues in Prairie Creek lh Addition
A number of residents were in attendance at the July 10, 2001 Planning Commission meeting that live in the
Prairie Creek 4th Addition directly adjacent to Meadow Creek. Their concerns consisted of the standing water
and drainage problems within their backyards. These concerns were part of the litigation procedure recently
addressed last year.
The Planning Commission recommended an additional condition concerning the approval of the preliminary
plat. The condition includes the following:
1. Require corrections and improvements to the grading and drainage problems in Prairie Creek 4th Addition
and restore the affected properties.
The City Attorney's office has been contacted concerning the following information. The Developer may
need to gain temporary easements from property owners in the Prairie Creek 4th Addition to correct grading
and drainage problems on private property. If the Developer cannot secure a temporary easement for grading
on private property, a license to enter may be granted per the Development Contract since the Prairie Creek 4th
Addition has not been closed out at this time.
Park Location
The Park & Recreation Commission reviewed the proposed development and requested that the neighborhood
park be located in the southeast comer of the property. The park will be located along a trail easement that
runs from Lake Julia along the drainage ditch easement to the south through the Autumn Glen development.
Amenities to the park will include a ballfield and play structure. The Parks & Recreation Commission has
requested an access easement from the cul-de-sac on the west side of the park along the sanitary sewer
easement to allow access to the park from the neighborhood. This easement will be requested in a future phase
of Meadow Creek.
Dakota County Soil & Water Conservation District
Attached is a letter from the Dakota County Soil & Water Conservation District concerning the review of the
Meadow Creek Preliminary Plat. The letter comments on a number of issues that relate to the final plat stage
and need to be addressed before final plat approval. A wetland replacement plan will need to be approved
prior to issuing grading approvals for the Meadow Creek 1 st Addition.
ACTION REOUESTED
Consider the attached resolution approving the Meadow Creek Preliminary Plat contingent upon the following
items:
1. The Developer seeks a variance to the minimum lot width for two lots on the preliminary plat before
approval of the final plat.
2. Any required revisions to easements and all engineering comments from the June 27, 2001 memo that are
relevant to the preliminary plat need to be addressed on the plat.
3. The Developer seeks a variance to the maximum cul-de-sac length of 500 feet for the cul-de-sac near
Outlot A.
4. Require corrections and improvements to the grading and drainage problems in Prairie Creek 4th Addition
and restore the affected properties.

Also Present: David Olson, Community Development Director; Lee Smick, Planning
Coordinator; Michael Schultz, Associate Planner; Engineer Dave Sanocki
2. Chairman Rotty called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M.
3. Chairman Rotty requested comments on the June 12, 2001 Planning Commission
minutes. There were none. MOTION by Larson, second by Johnson. APIF, MOTION
CARRIED.
4. Planning Commission Chair Rotty introduced the Meadow Creek Preliminary Plat
proposed by Progress Land Company.
Planning Coordinator Smick presented the staff report. Smick reported that the developer
is proposing 178 single-family lots within the first addition as part of the 354 total
housing units. Smick reported that the lots would meet the minimum 10,000 square feet
but that three (3) of the lots did not meet the seventy-five (75) minimum lot width.
Planner Smick reminded the Commission of the comments made ,at the June 12, 2001
meeting during the Schematic Plan review. Smick stated that the Commission required
that all lots should meet the 10,000 square foot minimum lot size; an lots should meet the
seventy-five (75) foot minimum width and that the trees along the southern border should
be inventoried to determined which trees could be saved during construction. Smick
stated that all of the lots met the 10,000 square foot minimum but as stated before three
did not. Planner Smick stated that the developer is working with Arcon Development,
developer of Autumn Glen, to determine the location of the larger trees to save if
drainage swales are possible on the north and south sides of the trees.
Planning Coordinator Smick reported on Shelly Johnson's, the City's traffic engineer,
report on the traffic assessment for the Meadow Creek development at complete build-
out.
Smick reported that the developer would be required to seek a variance for the proposed
cul-de-sac that surrounds Outlot A because it exceeds the 500-foot cul-de-sac length by
100 feet.
Smick indicated that developer is proposing a 4.54 acre park in the southeast comer of
the project as requested by the City Parks and Recreation Commission. Walking trails
are planned along the south side of the drainage ditch connecting to Lake Julia.
Planner Smick informed the Commission that the Engineering issues have been resolved
in reference to the sewer depths and calculated high water levels with information that
was submitted by the developer and reviewed by staff (after the memo was distributed to
the Planning Commission).

July 10,2001
Planning Coordinator Smick stated that the letter from the Dakota County Soil & Water
Conservation District addressed several issues relating to final plat stage but did comment
that wetland replacement plan needs to be approved for impacts adjacent to Outlot B.
Smick informed the Commission that staff s recommendation would be revised to not
include contingencies #2 and #3.
Chairman Rotty asked if the developer had anything to add to the staff report.
Mike Olson, the Project Manager for Meadow Creek for Progress Land Company, stated
that the 10,000 square foot minimum lot size has been met but requested Mr. Isrealson
address the lot width issue. Mr. Olson stated that a tree inventory was completed
approximately three weeks ago, which includes the trees adjacent to Autumn Glen and
south of the drainage ditch.
Discussion turned to correcting a storm sewer outlet on an existing lot within the Prairie
Creek development. Mr. Olson stated that they were anticipating grading this summer
and correcting all (the problems) at once (the storm sewer extension and grading of the
easterly lots in Prairie Creek).
Chairman Rotty asked if the Commission could see a copy of the tree inventory.
. Warren Isrealson discussed the need for the variance for the. lots that did not meet the
seventy-five foot width. Mr. Isrealson stated that due to the curve in the street and the
need for a storm sewer pipe running between lots which did not permit the lot widths to
be achieved.
The developer and project manage displayed the tree inventory to the Commission. Mr.
Isrealson stated that after the onsite meeting with Arcon Development and staff that it
was agreed that most of the trees would remain. Discussion turned to the trees on the
southside of the drainage way; Mr. Isrealson stated that it is likely that most of those trees
would need to be removed located on the spoil pile to make way for the trail.
Chairman Rotty asked if the developer or project manager had any additional comments.
They did not. Chairman Rotty asked if the Commission had any questions or comments
at this time.
Commissioner Larson asked if it was common to run trails in the backyard of homes.
Planner Smick pointed out that it that the Parks and Recreation Commission have
planned the trail for a number of years. Discussion centered on the existing easements
along the ditch and if there were alternatives to the trail location. Staff indicated that
there were other trails within the city with trails in the rear yard that have not presented a
problem to their knowledge.
Commissioner Johnson brought up the issue of the lot widths and if they could be
corrected (without a variance). Discussion took place on which lots did not meet the
width requirements. Mr. Isrealson admitted that the widths on the new submittal were a
mistake and would be correct on the final plat.
Commissioner Barker asked if a sidewalk would be extended out to Pilot Knob Road
from where it ends at Embers Ave. Community Development Director Olson explained

that there are some minor collectors within the city that do not have sidewalks, it has
been the City's policy to install sidewalks (going back a number of years) along minor
collectors. Olson explained that the residents can petition the City to install sidewalks
but the City would not initiate it or require the developer to do it.

Chairman Rotty asked if there were any questions or comments from the public.
Cameron Kracke, 18980 Embers Ave: Voiced concern over the start time of
construction during the development of Autumn Glen and is concerned with this new
development.
Chairman Rotty asked Dave Sanocki, Engineering Division, to explain what the
Development Contract stipulates. Rotty asked the resident if there are any problems with
required construction times to contact the city.
Mr. Kracke voiced concerned about the current watering restrictions with the number of
homes being added within this development and if the City had any plans (to add
capacity).
Community Development Director Olson clarified that the watering ban is more related
to the recent dry weather than it is to growth and that the Water Board does have plans
for additional wells.
Ken Rausch, 5066 187th Street: Commented that growth does have an impact on
watering if the city's wells can't keep up with demand. Mr. Rausch questioned why 187th
Street wasn't designed as a collector and asked the Commission to consider the number
of homes feeding onto what is really a neighborhood street.
,Lee Smick stated that the existing 18ih Street was constructed at thirty-eight (38) feet
width, which is the current standard for minor collector roads.Smicketarified 187th
Street is shown as a local on the Thoroughfare Plan but is constructed attoday's standard
for a minor collector.
Mr. Rausch stated that his request is if alternatives were possible to route traffic from the
development.
Tony Spensor, 19725 Easton Ave: Voiced concern over the amount of traffic to be
traveled along 18ih Street and child safety not only for the existing residents but for the
number moving into the development. Mr. Spensor also voiced concern with removal of
the trees along the drainage way.
Lisa Robinson, 18654 Easton Ave: Voiced concern over the attempt to resolve the
existing drainage problems on the lots backing up to the proposed development.
Engineer Sanocki stated that Mrs. Robinson's property is one of the lots that the City is
working with the developer on correcting with the extending the storm pipe, catch basins
and grading work.
Mrs. Robinson stated that she would request that the developer correct the problem
before work commence on the new development with restoration work included on the
property.

Community Development Director Olson responded that it has been the City's and
developer's intent to correct the situations that exist as part of the grading and
development plans of the proposed development.

Regular Meeting
July 10,2001
Engineer Sanocki added that staff has requested that the developer submit existing
contours and grading plans along with proposed restoration work of the subject lots.
Mrs. Robinson asked the Commission to consider making the grading and restoration
work a contingency as part of the approval. Mrs. Robinson added her concerns with
removal of the trees along the drainage ditch and the potential amount of traffic along
18ih Street.
Staff informed the Commission and the residents that prior to any grading work that all
personal property must be removed from the easement area.
Keith Robinson, 18654 Easton Ave: Stated that at the time the lot was graded that the
developer and the City knew it was not completed to specification and would need to be
re-graded and now being three years later that he is not in favor of incurring additional
expenses for removal of personal property.
Chairman Rotty stated that he would like to defer this matter to the City Attorney and
await his opinion.
Todd Bouve, 18650 Easton Ave: Voiced his dissatisfaction over the amount of time it
has taken to correct the problems that currently exist (along the easterly lots in Prairie
Creek).
Engineer Sanocki stated that part of the agreement with the developer is that if grading
work would not commence this year that at least a temporary solution iWould need to be.
completed this year which would involve extending the storm sewer pipe.
Mr. Bouve added his concerns over the amount of traffic on 18ih Street.
Jamie Larson, 5082 187th Street W: Voiced his concern of the potential traffic on 18ih
Street and if there were a way for the development to wait until a north/south collector
was constructed to 170th Street.
Planning Coordinator Smick demonstrated the intent of the Thoroughfare Plan to direct
traffic to the major collectors. The Commission, staff and residents then discussed the
issue of why 18ih Street is now viewed as a minor collector.
Chairman Rotty asked if the Commission had any additional questions.
Commissioner Larson asked if the Commissioner could request a tree replacement plan
for the trees removed along the spoil pile. Planner Smick responded that currently the
City Code does not mandate tree retention or tree replacement plan but the Commission
could request the developer to consider one.
Mr. Isrealson replied that he would be willing to install trees if he would receive park
dedication credits and would sit down with the Parks and Recreation Director to discuss

Planning Coordinator Smick restated the contingencies as discussed during the course of
the meeting. The Commission requested clarification on contingencies #4 and #5 with
the City Attorney.
Chairman Rotty asked Mr. Isrealson if he understood the revised contingencies. Mr.
Isrealson stated that he is agreeable to the last contingency if the property owners are
willing to grant them (the temporary construction easements).
Chairman Rotty asked if there were any final comments from the Commission. The
Commissioners were in agreement of the concerns surrounding the timing and legalities
of correcting the grading problems of the rear yards in the Prairie Creek 4th Addition.

RE:
Meadow Creek Development - Traffic Assessment
Our File No. 141-99-101
Pursuant to your request, we have assessed the traffic generation characteristics of the Meadow
Creek Development concept plan dated June 10, 2001. This memorandum presents the analysis
and conclusions of that assessment. '
Project Data
The concept plan indicates a total of354 single-family residential lots. The Meadow Creek
concept plan is shown on Figure 1. The estimated trip generation for a development of this size
and type is provided below. The trip rates are from the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) report titled Trip Generation, Sixth Edition, 1997.

Traffic Assienment
Based upon the concept plan and the area roadway system, an estimate of daily volumes on the
roadway system has been prepared. The assignment of daily trips generated by the Meadow
Creek Development is shown on Figure 2. It is expected that 1 87th Street will attract more trips
to/from the development than the other three connections. Upon full development it is estimated
that an additional 2,030 vehicles will use 187th Street to travel to/from Embers A venue and/or
Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31).
2335 West Highway 36 . St. Paul, MN 55113. 651-636-4600 · Fax: 651-636-1311
Conclusions
The volumes estimated to use 18th Street will convert this street's function from a local street to
a neighborhood collector street. The facility will be able to accommodate the expected volumes.
It is recommended that 187th Street from Pilot Knob Road to and through the Meadow Creek
development be classified as a minor collector street. Additionally, the north-south spine street
through the Meadow Creek development should be classified as a minor collector street. Figure
3 illustrates the minor collectors.

RE: REVIEW OF THE PRELIMINARY GRADING PLANS FOR MEADOW CREEK 1st ADDITION
Ref: 01-FRM-039
Dear Mike:
The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has reviewed the preliminary grading plan for the
above-mentioned site. The first phase of the project entails 177 single-family lots; the entire development includes 354
lots on 160 acres in northeast Farmington.
No erosion controls measures, other than the locations of permanent ponds, are shown on the grading plan submitted to
our office. Therefore the grading plan is considered incomplete. This letter submits recommendations for the
development of a more complete grading plan that will show erosion control measures and provide stormwater
. ormation that meets City and NPDES requirements. Further this letter assesses the proposed wetland and floodplain
pacts associated with the platting process
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Comments and Recommendations
1. Phase grading to the extent possible. Consider alternative layout and conservation site designs.
2. no not initiate grading within or adjacent to drainageways, shoreland areas, or wetland., unless it will be stabilized
promptly (i.e. not left exposed over the winter).
3. Provide a finish grade and stabilize all slopes adjacent to wetlands, drainageways, and shoreland areas as soon as
possible.
4. Show how grading work will be phased and develop a phased grading plan to show how runoff will be dealt with as
site conditions change.
5. Provide a vegetated buffer between wetlands and any grading activities per the City's wetland ordinance.
6. Include the location and specifications of all erosion controls on the grading plan.
7. In accordance with the NPDES General Stormwater Permit, the applicant must stabilize all exposed soil areas within
100 feet of a water of the state or any stormwater conveyance system which is connected to a water of the state must
be stabilized within 7 days (steeper than 3: 1 slopes), 14 days (10: 1 to 3:1 slopes), or 21 days (flatter than 10:1). The
General Notes section on the approved plan should reflect these temporary stabilization requirements
8. Include temporary and permanent seeding and mulching specifications on the plan.
9. Construct stormwater ponds (with emergency overflows and stabilized outlets) promptly and use them as temporary
sediment ponds during construction. Stabilize pond side-slopes.
10. Install temporary risers at sediment pond outlets to optimize sediment trapping efficiency.
11. Install a perimeter silt fence at all downslope gradients.
12. Install a double row of heavy-duty silt fence adjacent to all wetland areas (outside the wetland buffer).
. -. Install a rock construction entrance to the construction site.
. Limit construction egress to one location.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
Meadow Creek 2
Ol-FRM-036
15. Install straw bales, silt fence, a double row of sod, or alternative device behind curbs (immediately after curb
construction) to minimize runoff from individual lots during building construction. Work with your builders to make
sure they understand the importance of keeping these sedimentation controls intact.
16. Install a rock/gravel driveway entrance pad on all individual lots.
17. Install energy dissipation devices at all storm sewer outlets. Show the type and location of all energy dissipation
devices on the grading plan.
18. Include notes regarding NPDES permit requirements on the grading plan, including inspection, maintenance, and
stabilization timing
19. Install inlet sediment filters at all low points in the system
20. Install rock checks, sediment logs, Mn/DOT's revised heavy-duty silt fence, or other approved device to slow runoff
velocity in drainage swales or any areas of concentrated flow. Hay and straw bale checks are not recommended for
use in concentrated flow situations.
21. Develop a plan for dealing with water that may pond on the construction site. It is important to remove this excess
water in a way that does not pollute nearby wetlands and lakes.
22. Additional controls may be deemed necessary during construction to protect North Creek and adjacent wetlands.
WetIand_and Floodplain Recommendations
1. Wetland fill authorizations under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
will be required under subsequent phases of the Meadow Creek Plat.
2. Future wetland fills are implied on the Meadow Creek Plat. We encourage the City to avoid issuance of grading
approvals on phased development until all wetland permits are obtained for the entire plat. This avoids wetland fill
assumptions and "piecemeal" of projects.
3. The submitted plan shows a 0.65 acre wetland adjacent to Pond B. If this created wetland is to be part of the 1st
Addition to offset wetland impacts on subsequent additions, the wetland replacement plan will need to be approved
prior to issuing grading approvals for the 1st Addition.
r. Floodplain boundaries should be shown on the grading plan.
Summary
There is tremendous opportunity to slow runoff and reduce nmoff volumes from the site. Consider incorporating diffuse
flat and depressional areas into the overland drainage on the site. These areas can be designed to concurrently drain
effectively and retain more water on the site. Disconnecting the site's impervious areas is another technique to reduce
runoff volumes. The Dakota SWCD has cost-share funds available to design and install eligible low impact development
(LID) practices. Incorporation of these practices may address many of the concerns expressed by regulatory agencies
during the EA W process.
Further, the SWCD suggests incorporating a floodplain reforestation plan into the design. Reestablishing a wider
vegetated buffer on north creek will provide multiple benefits for this important greenway corridor.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this plan. Because the sites will disturb more than five acres, a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Stormwater Pennit is required. Good implementation, consistent
monitoring, and maintenance of all erosion control measures are important to minimize erosion on this construction site.

TO: Mayor, Councilmembers
FROM: Robin Roland, Interim City Administrator
SUBJECT: Legislative Impact - 2002 Budget Process
DATE: August 6, 2001
INTRODUCTION
The changes to the Property Tax law enacted by the Minnesota Legislature at their Special
Session in June will have a significant impact on the 2002 City of Farmington Budget.
DISCUSSION
Changes to the Property Tax law include the elimination of the State Aid known as HACA, the
restructuring of class rates and the imposition of levy limits. Also, the State's new role as the
funding source for K-12 education will affect the current Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
agreements that the City has, as well as the TIF debt the City holds on those projects. This
memo, and a presentation at the Council meeting will address the specific impacts of these
changes on the way the City of Farmington will budget for the 2002 tax year.
First, the elimination of the HACA State Aid program, means an outright loss of that revenue from
the general fund. This amounts to ten percent of the 2001 general fund budget. The Local
Government Aid (LGA) that the City receives in 2002 will be $548,976, up from our 2001 amount
of $458,754, but still $313,244 less than existing 2001 revenues. A schedule from the League of
Minnesota Cities is attached with this memo, which shows the effect of this shift of State Aid on all
Cities in the State. Dakota County Cities were especially hard hit with the aid reductions,
however, the majority of out state Cities saw significant increases in their state aid.
Second, the restructuring of class rates will reduce the taxable value of all properties in
Farmington. Although estimates of the gross effect of the changes are possible, Dakota County is
currently reprogramming its computers and will not have preliminary tax capacity values available
until early September. State Statutes re9uire a preliminary levy be adopted by City Councils and
submitted to the County by September 15h each year. Consequentlx, the Farmington City Council
will need to adopt the preliminary levy at its meeting September 4t . Effectively, adoption of that
levy might have to be done without even a guess as to what the potential tax capacity rate might
be.
As to the tax capacity rate, since the tax capacity value is the denominator in the tax capacity rate
formula, and since it is going down, even if the numerator remains the same as in 2001 (meaning
the levy requested does not increase by even one dollar) the tax capacity rate would go up.
For example:
2001
2002
$2.068.123
5,922,683
2001 Requested Levy
Tax Capacity Value
$2.068.123
$6,922,683
Equals Tax Capacity Rate
29.5%
34.9%
Therefore, although Council adopted a budgetary goal of keeping the 2002 tax rate at the 2001
level, it would be virtually impossible to fulfill this goal under the new set of rules. Furthermore,
the Financial Performa, which the City has used to plan its financial future, including the
construction of two new facilities, no longer applies to the situations arising from State Property
Tax Reform.
In addition to this, the State re-instituted levy limits. The amount the City will be allowed to levy
will be based on prior years' levies increased by factors for growth and the "implicit price deflator".
Levies for debt service are considered outside levy limits and Cities will be allowed to "levy back"
their HACA loss for just this one year (2002). Farmington did not levy to the limit in either 1999 or
2000. Staff calculations of the maximum allowable levy for Farmington for 2002 will be presented
at the Council meeting.
Tax Increment Financing also received a hard hit. The class rate reduction will impact the base
amount upon which the TIF is calculated and the elimination of the school tax rate as part of the
formula will cut the amount of TIF receivable. A specific example will be presented at the Council
meeting. The significant reduction in TIF receipts is cause for concern due to the debt obligations
outstanding, which are to be paid by TIF. Staff is working with Ehlers and Associates to estimate
the dollar impact on the City's TIF projects and will present that information as soon as it is
available.
Staff has been working on the 2002 Preliminary Budget, using the same format and procedures
that have been used for the past 5 years. A preliminary budget document will be ready for
Council's review by the August 20th Council meeting.
ACTION REQUIRED
Set a workshop to discuss the Preliminary 2002 Budget on either August 22, 2001 or August 29,
2001.

Continued Discussion - Growth Management Issues
DATE: .
August 6, 2001
INTRODUCTION
The City Council discussed Growth Management issues at a Joint City Council / Planning
Commission workshop held on June 26, 2001. It was indicated at that meeting the staff,
including the City Attorney's office, would followup on this discussion at the first City
Council meeting in August.
DISCUSSION
Concerns were expressed at the Joint Workshop regarding the rate of residential
development in the near future and the ability of the City's infrastructure, particularly the
City's street system, to accommodate this new residential growth.
The rate of growth has been a concern in the City of Farmington for a number of years.
In approximately 1996, the City Council established a desired rate of growth to
approximately 300-350 single family homes per year. This desired development rate was
incorporated into the approved Comprehensive Plan which indicated a 20 year average
growth rate of 275 housing units per year. This was slightly more than the Metropolitan
Council forecast but close enough to their forecast to be accepted by the Metropolitan
Council.
The areas currently being developed or proposed for development include the areas east
of Dakota County Estates, Prairie Creek, Akin Park and Lime Rock Ridge and the areas
either side of the recently constructed extension of Pilot Knob Road. These areas, which
total approximately 824 acres, were added to the MUSA in March of 1998 as part of a
City requested and Met Council approved Comprehensive Plan Amendment! MUSA
Expansion and were later included in the overall Comprehensive Plan Update approved in
March of 2000. These areas are developing as anticipated by these plans.
The City Council has recently denied several property owner requested amendments to
the 2000 Comprehensive Plan that would have potentially increased both in area and rate
of development occurring within the City. These included the Finnegan and Murphy
properties south of the future 195th Street and East of Akin Road and two recently
annexed Rother and Devney properties east of the Prairie Waterway. In addition, the
MUSA Review Committee is currently reviewing parcels for the designation of 2005
MUSA that is currently available and contains up to 610 acres. A recommendation from
this Committee should be forwarded to the Planning Commission and City Council in the
next several months.
The issue of limiting the number of building permits issued in a given year has been
discussed with the City Attorney's office and it has been concluded that this is difficult to
do for areas that are planned, zoned and currently located within the MUSA. Typically
the most effective way to control the rate of growth is through Comprehensive Plan Land
Use designation process and the designation or expansion of the MUSA boundaries. For
all of the current or proposed developments within the MUS A, a review of the adequacy
of existing infrastructure including streets is done to determine that new development can
be adequately accommodated. This has resulted in the density levels of proposed
development areas being reduced such as the recently proposed Riverbend Development
east of Dakota County Estates.
The other larger scale issue is whether the City and the School District are capable of
meeting the demand for services generated by the development that is actually occurring.
Based on the current rate of development in the City, the City, as well as the School
District, have been able to meet this demand. If this were to change, obviously the City
Council would be made aware of this fact.
The issue of planning for needed additional transportation improvements needs to be
pursued. The City Council will be considering awarding a bid for the construction of the
first portion of 195th Street east of Akin Road at the August 6,2001 meeting. The County
has also requested the opportunity to discuss the status of their East-West Corridor study
with Council in September. It is anticipated that this study will demonstrate the need for
the remaining portions of the 195th Street project to be programmed into the County's CIP
as soon as possible.
