7. CONSENT AGENDA
Item 7a) Council Minutes (5/21/01) (Regular) was pulled so Councilmember Cordes
could abstain from voting as she was absent from that meeting. MOTION by Soderberg,
second by Verch approving Council Minutes (5/21/01) (Regular). Voting for: Ristow,
Soderberg, Strachan, Verch. Abstain: Cordes. MOTION CARRIED.
Item 7e) Capital Outlay - Police was pulled by Councilmember Soderberg for discussion
regarding the less lethal technology. Less lethal technology is a way to distract or disable
a person in a deadly force situation. This gives the officer an alternative that is not
deadly. The Farmington Police Department has begun using this bean bag technology. It
looks like a small stocking filled with a little lead shot. It is shot out of a 12-gauge
shotgun at 300 feet per second. This will bruise or distract the person, but not kill them.
Because the bean bag technology is so effective, a body bunker becomes important. The
Police Department was requesting the purchase of a body bunker, which is a bullet proof
Council Minutes (Regular)
June 4, 2001
Page 2
shield that an officer would use in a dangerous situation. The reason for the body bunker
request is to reduce the threat of the use of deadly force against an officer. MOTION by
Soderberg, second by Cordes authorizing the purchase of a Body Bunker Ballistic Shield
to be funded by the Police Forfeiture Account. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

The following guidelines were presented to Council to establish the framework
the management team will observe in development of the 2002 Budget.
1. A commitment to maintain the local tax capacity rate at the same level as
the previous year.
2. A fiscal goal that maintains a fund balance in the General Fund, for
working capital, of no less than 2S% of planned 2002 General Fund
expenditures.
3. A commitment to maintaining the 2002 debt levy at no more than 2S% of
the total levy .
Council Minutes (Regular)
June 4, 2001
Page 4
4. A comprehensive review of the condition of capital equipment to ensure
the most cost effective replacement schedule is followed.
5. A team approach which encourages strategic planning to meet immediate
and long-term operational, infrastructure and facility needs.
6. A management philosophy that supports implementation of Council
policies and goals, and is responsive to changing community conditions
and concerns.
Councilmember Cordes stated she felt regarding goal number 1, it has been
Council's goal to lower the tax rate. Finance Director Roland stated in the last 5
years it has been a goal to maintain the tax rate. Fortunately, the City has been
able to reduce it each year. Councilmember Soderberg stated maintaining the tax
rate has been the goal as long as he has been on Council and the City has
exceeded that goal. He then asked if it was possible to increase the General Fund
balance to 30 - 35%. Finance Director Roland stated at the end of 2000 the
General Fund balance was at 35%. Councilmember Strachan stated goal number
6 shows the City is not budgeting for things just because they always have.
MOTION by Verch, second by Strachan adopting the 2002 budgetary goals as
presented. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
d) Vermillion River - Proposed DNR Trout Stream Designation - Engineering
The DNR is proposing to further designate the Vermillion River as a trout stream
from the current terminus of trout stream designation in downtown Farmington to
Highway 52. The DNR has conducted studies along the river in regards to the
trout habitat and have indicated that trout are surviving and reproducing in the
river beyond the areas of the river that are designated as a trout stream. The DNR
has started the statutory process to expand the trout stream designation along the
Vermillion River. The land use and economic ramifications resulting from the
proposed designation could be significant. Alternative storm water management
plans may need to be adopted to comply with the new proposed regulations. Staff
suggested all of the implications of the expanded designation be identified and
disclosed before the DNR makes a final decision on this issue.
e) Schedule Joint Council Workshop - Zoning Code Update - Community
Development
The Planning Commission along with the consulting firm of Hoisington Koegler
and staff have been working on various updates and necessary new provisions to
the City Zoning Code. A Joint Planning Commission and Council workshop was
set for June 26, 2001 at 5 :00 p.m. to discussion provisions of the Zoning Code
that have been reviewed to date.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a) Flagstaff Avenue Update - Finance
At the May 21, 2001 Council meeting, Engineering presented a report on
improvements to Flagstaff A venue, which identified the cost of such
Council Minutes (Regular)
June 4,2001
Page 5
improvements at $500,476. All of the properties along Flagstaff Avenue are
either agricultural or Ag Preserve. The normal process for City improvement
projects, MSA 429, would be very difficult to enforce, as Ag Preserve properties
are exempt from assessment under law as long as they remain in Ag Preserve. It
would be difficult to show benefit to assessed properties as the project is a gravel
road to a gravel road. The Road Construction Fund is currently committed to pay
for the City's portion of 1 95th Street, the Downtown Streetscape, the 3rd Street
overlay, and the interior road of the Public Facilities site. The other option for
financing is for 100% of the residents along Flagstaff to agree to pay for the costs.
Councilmember Cordes asked if it was possible to do the project in stages so it is
not such a burden. City Engineer Mann stated staff would have to review what
expenditure would be possible per year, and then see if that would work from a
construction standpoint. Councilmember Cordes did not feel any of the three
options were doable. Councilmember Strachan stated it is an issue of timing, and
could it be built into a future CIP in terms of funds needed on the City's part.
Development will not reach Flagstaff for a long time. Staff replied it could be put
into the CIP. City Engineer Mann stated the City spends approximately $20,000
per year on Flagstaff in gravel and staff time. Councilmember Soderberg stated in
addition to the project, it would also increase expenditure of $50,000 -
$60,000/year to maintain the fabric base. City Engineer Mann stated that
expenditure would more likely be every other year.
Mrs. Elayne Donnelly, 20080 Flagstaff A venue, stated she understands they will
not get a blacktopped road. It is a gravel road, and they want it to be maintained.
There have been several bad accidents on Flagstaff. If it takes a couple loads of
gravel or extra grading per week, it cannot be that expensive. She cannot believe
the City would allow a road to be in that condition in the City. Mrs. Donnelly
does not feel they should have to complain to get the road fixed. They do pay
taxes. Mayor Ristow stated the City is working on it and looking at several
options.
Councilmember Strachan asked if it was possible to place additional loads of
gravel and if additional grading would make a difference over time. City
Engineer Mann stated they have been trying different materials and some are
better. To grade the road sufficiently, there needs to be more material on it. Staff
will do further research and report back to Council.
b) Consider Resolution - Akin Road Project - Engineering
The plans and specifications have been prepared for the Akin Road Improvement
project. It has come to staffs attention that State funds are available for the
replacement of deficient bridges. The bridge culverts at Middle Creek on Akin
Road are hydraulically deficient and are eligible for funding. The bridge costs are
estimated to be in the $200,000 range. Approximately $150,000 of those costs
would be eligible for funding. Staff recommended that the bridge culverts be
removed from the project to allow for the State to review and fund the culverts.
Council Minutes (Regular)
June 4, 2001
Page 6
The bridge culvert project would be bid and constructed next year after school lets
out.
The City's traffic engineer has reviewed the concept of installing guardrail along
the east side of Akin Road, north of 193rd Street. The proposed design of the
roadway does not require guardrail according to MnDOT requirements for State
Aid Highways. It is the traffic engineer's opinion that guardrail should only be
installed if it reduces accident severity.
The City's traffic engineer and the rest of staff are in agreement that installing a
crosswalk on Akin Road at an intersection that is not controlled by a stop sign is
not recommended. A stop sign is proposed at the intersection of 19Sth Street and
Akin at the time 19Sth Street is extended to the east. If a trail is extended to Akin
Elementary from Akin Road, a trail connection will then exist and that
intersection would be considered for a crosswalk. Police Chief Siebenaler stated
pedestrians will cross where it is convenient for them. He would rarely
recommend the installation of a crosswalk without a stop sign.
Farmington Lutheran and Bible Baptist Church have requested that turn lanes be
installed to service their future and existing facilities. Farmington Lutheran has
also requested that water service and sanitary sewer service be extended from the
west side of Akin Road as part of this project to serve their future site. These
improvements are included in the plans and will be put out to bid.
There are a few areas along Akin Road where curb will be installed in order to fit
the trail in between the roadway and some of the homes that are close to the
roadway. These will be north of Dunbar and the Eaves Way area.
The estimated total project cost with removal of the bridge culverts from the
project and not including the improvements requested by Farmington Lutheran
and Bible Baptist Church is $1,406,160. These costs will be allocated between
the City and the County. The improvements requested by the churches would be
entirely funded by the churches. MOTION by Cordes, second by Soderberg
adopting RESOLUTION R57-01 approving the plans and specifications for the
Akin Road Improvement project and authorizing the advertisement for bids.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Strachan, second by Cordes
adopting RESOLUTION R58-01 prioritizing replacement of bridge structures
and requesting funding for the bridge on Akin Road at Middle Creek. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED.
12. NEW BUSINESS
13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE
Council member Soderberg: He received a request regarding a schedule for street
sweeping. City Engineer Mann stated this occurs as early in the Spring as possible. The
Council Minutes (Regular)
June 4, 2001
Page 7
City fits it in among other projects, there is not a regular schedule. If there is a concern
about sweeping a certain area, it can be added to the list. Councilmember Soderberg
suggested putting some type of schedule in the Newsletter. City Engineer Mann stated
sweeping is done in two stages, in the Spring and Fall.
Councilmember Verch: Thanked Police Chief Siebenaler for keeping on top of
things for the safety of officers and residents.
Community Development
Director Olson: He attended a meeting on the Empire Treatment Plant
expansion. There will be another meeting on June 13,2001. The recommended option is
the expansion of the Empire Treatment Plant and the phasing out of the Rosemount Plant
and the construction of an outfall pipe to Hastings from the Empire Plant.
Parks and Recreation
Director Bell: A park shelter will be constructed in East Farmington in the
next couple of days, followed by playground equipment anda ballfield.

The Fire Department, represented by Bob Ellingsworth, then negotiated with Anoka Hennepin
Technical College for an exchange. The Fire Department utilizes the College for training
opportunities and the College needs equipment for use in the training they offer. The resulting
letter of agreement is attached with this memo.
The City of Farmington sells the 1969 LaFrance Pumper to Anoka Hennepin Technical College for
six training sessions. The value of this training, if paid for under normal circumstances, equates

Re: Third Street Overlay and Sanitary Sewer Slip lining
Dear Mr. Mann:
The feasibility study for the work to be completed on Third Street has been reviewed and
I have examined the assessed values of the properties affected.
My work has included a thorough look at improvements contemplated and a discussion
with Mr. Lee Mann about your plan and method to complete the work. Also, we have
researched lot sales and looked at the county assessments of lot values as it relates to this
project.
The information we have used to reach my conclusion has been received from, The City
of Farmington, Dakota County, Minneapolis Area Regional Multiple Listing Service,
appraiser files.
You have requested that we arrive at a conclusion, which will assist you in determining
the benefit to the affected properties for possible assessment purposes. I have completed
a study of the property along Third Street and recent lot sales as well as costs to improve
new lots in the community.
Current market prices for improved new lots are in the $40,000.00 to $45,000.00 range.
In this project area the average lot value is in the $22,000 to $23,000 range. Nearly 50%
below the new lot value.
Our study of the costs to improve lots indicate that street and sewer improvement would
tend to sustain an increase in value up to 19% of the total value of the lot.
An assessment of up to $4,000 would be considered reasonable with the low assessed
value for the lots. A case could be made for the difference in lot values but in this
situation it would be better to use this value if it would be feasible.

SUBJECT: Annexation Petition - Benham Property
DATE: June 18,2001
INTRODUCTION
The City has received an annexation petition from Lowell and Janet Benham to annex
approximately 1.88 acres currently in Section 32 of Empire Township. The subject
property is completely surrounded by land within the municipal limits. A location map
and legal description is attached.
DISCUSSION
Mr. and Mrs. Benham have filed the current annexation petition under MS 414.033
Subd.2 (2) which states the following:
Subd. 2. Conditions. A municipal council may by ordinance declare land
annexed to municipality and any such land is deemed to be urban or suburban in
character or about to become so if:
(1) the land is owned by the municipality;
(2) the land is completely surrounded by land within the municipal limits;
(3) the land abuts the municipality and the area to be annexed is 60 acres or less,
and the area to be annexed is not presently served by public sewer facilities or
public sewer facilities are not otherwise available, and the municipality
received a petition for annexation from all the property owners of the land; or
Minnesota Statutes also require that a 30 day certified mail notice of the hearing to'
consider annexation by ordinance requests be provided to the Township and abutting
property owners. These requirements have been met.
Staff has verified the Benham property is completely surrounded by the current city limits
and meets the requirements of Minnesota Statute 414.033
Mr. and Mrs. Benham have an agreement to sell this property to Tim Giles, owner of the
adjacent Glenview Townhomes development. The Benham property would be
incorporated into the existing commercial lots along Trunk Highway 3 that are presently
being marketed by Mr. Giles. Mr. and Mrs. Benham and Mr. Giles have also filed a
petition to rezone this property to B-1 Limited Business that would be considered if the
annexation petition is approved.
In terms of the most efficient and effective provision of needed governmental services, it
would be appropriate for this property to be annexed into the City. Mr. Giles intends to
remove the existing structures and private well and septic systems upon the purchase of
the property. This purchase is contingent on both the annexation and rezoning of the
property .
BUDGET IMP ACT
Minnesota Statutes require the Township to receive a declining portion of the property
taxes generated over a five year period. This would provide for 90% of the current
township taxes for this property to be retained by the Township in year one after the
annexation, 70% in year two etc. until it reaches 10% in the fifth year after the
annexation.
The deferred assessment for the sewer and water improvements that were installed in
conjunction with the County Road 72 project will become payable when this property
develops.
ACTION REOUESTED
Consider the attached ordinance to annex the 1.88 acre Benham Property.
Respectfully submitted,

2000 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
June 18, 2001
INTRODUCTION
The independent audit of the December 31, 2000 financial records was completed on March 16,
2001. Subsequently, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report has been issued and the City's
auditors, Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd. have issued their opinion on that report. In addition, they
have issued a Management Report on the City of Farmington for year-end 2000. Both documents
will be presented.
DISCUSSION
On February 20, 2001, a preliminary review of the City's General Fund for 12/31/00 was
presented. Final audited numbers indicate an increase of $343,557; bringing the fund balance
total to $1,457,720. As noted in the auditor's management letter, this represents 35.4% of the
annual expenditures of the City with a preferred fund balance target of 25% to 40% of annual
expenditures.
In 2000, actual General Fund revenues exceeded budgeted revenues by $200,268 and actual
expenditures were $45,950 less than budgeted.
The Water Utility, Sewer Operations, Solid Waste and Liquor Funds all showed increases to their
2000 retained earnings. Solid revenues and expenses within budget in 2000 continued to give
these funds a strong base for future operations. As in prior years, the Arena Fund showed an
operating loss due to depreciation costs and a reduction to the fund's retained earnings. Council
has addressed this with a budgeted transfer of operating funds from Liquor Operations to the
Arena fund in 2001.
ACTION REQUIRED
For information only. Joe Rigdon from Kern, DeWenter, Viere will be present at the meeting to
participate in the presentation and answer any questions Council may have.

Consider Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Devney Property
TO:
FROM:
DATE:
June 18, 2001
INTRODUCTION
Michael and Eileen Devney are seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for their property to Low/Medium
Density Residential and to rezone their property from A-I (Agriculture) to R-2 (Low/Medium Density-
Residential). The Devney property is located east of 2 13th Street (County Road 72) and the Prairie Waterway,
south of21Oth Street, west of Empire Township and north of the Rother property.
DISCUSSION
The Devney property was annexed into the City on April 16, 2001 and was brought into the City in less than
60-acre increments and given an A-I zoning classification per City policy. The total acreage of Devney's
property is 57.71 acres.
The applicant proposes to amend the Comprehensive Plan to Low/Medium Density Residential on the
property. Preliminary development proposals have ranged from multi-family townhomes to smaller single
family lot development, similar to East Farmington.
The applicant is also seeking to rezone the property from A-I (Agricultural District) to R-2 (Low/Medium
Density Residential District). The A-I zoning category is designated to a property when it is annexed into the
City. Additionally, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zone Change is required if an applicant plans for
development on the property.
The R-2 (Low/Medium Density Residential District) is intended as an area which incorporates older existing
development as well as undeveloped land that would be suitable for small lot single-family construction as
well as duplexes, townhouses and quad homes.
At the Planning Commission meeting on May 22, 2001, the Commissioners requested certain issues be
reviewed before the Commission acted upon the Devney petition. The following are items that the
Commission requested further discussion on:
1. Transportation System
2. Sanitary Sewer
3. Low/Medium Acres Calculation
4. Property Not Anticipated in Comprehensive Plan
Transportation System
Shelly Johnson, Transportation Engineer for Bonestroo, Anderlik & Rosene reviewed the projected traffic
volumes for the Devney property and the property to the south owned by Lawrence Rother and his findings are
documented in the attached memo. Mr. Johnson has assumed a density range of 2.5, 3.32 or 5.5 in projecting
development rates and estimating traffic counts. In his final analysis, he states that 213th Street functions as a
major collector and can accommodate future single-family detached development subject to the improvements
specified.
Additionally, he recommends that a density similar to East Farmington at 3.32 is more desirable than the 5.5
density because it generates less traffic from the developments. He also suggested a combination of single-
family and townhome units in the developments because townhomes tend to generate less traffic as well.
Finally, he proposes that the developments would create the need for signalization at the intersection of 2 13th
Street and Trunk Highway 3 as well as improvements on 213th Street for left and right turn lanes to maximize
traffic movement.
Mr. Johnson's memo suggests that 213th Street can accommodate future traffic projections from the
developments, however, in Figure 2 he shows a number of additional assumed major ingress/egress routes to
the Devney property as well as the Rother property to the south. Two accesses from the west are shown at
213th Street and Spruce Street, one is shown to the north accessing 210th Street and one is shown to the south
as a future access. In addition, the needed improvements to 213th Street and 210th Street are not currently
planned or programmed for by the City, Township and MnDOT.
Additional transportation studies are required with these proposed accesses due to inherent problems with each
ingress/egress shown. The access shown at Spruce Street may be problematic because of the need to cross the
Prairie Waterway. Decisions to encroach into this environmentally sensitive ecosystem have not been
previously contemplated and thus would need to be extensively reviewed.
The access to the north needs to be reviewed because 210th Street is bounded on the north by Empire
Township. Additional discussions with this body must take place before development could occur. The
access to the south is also difficult because the property owner south of Rother has not indicated a desire to
develop his property and any future access to the south would most likely be slow in proceeding.
Therefore, additional accesses to this region need to be planned and reviewed before any development could
occur on the Devney property.
Sanitary Sewer
The City has reviewed the feasibility of serving this property with sanitary sewer and water service. As the
attached comments from Mark Rolfs of Bonestroo indicate, only the west half of the property can currently be
served with gravity flow sewer service (see attached plan). Other possibilities to serve the east half of the
property would involve extending a new trunk line south from the existing interceptor line near CSAH 66
approximately % mile to the north of the property or installing a lift station.
Since the City does not wish to add lift stations to their sewer system if possible and with only half of the
property served with gravity sewer at this time, it is not feasible to develop the property to its potential.
Low/Medium Acres Calculation
The approved MUSA Staging Plan provides for 30 low/medium density acres to be allocated in the MUSA in
2005. As mentioned above, the total number of acres being applied for by the Devney property is 57.71 acres.
Therefore, low/medium density MUSA acres could not be fully granted to this property because of the limited
amount of MUSA allocated in 2005.
Property Not Anticipated in Comprehensive Plan
In 1998 when the Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan was being prepared, the Devney property was in
Empire Township and has remained there until recently when it was annexed into the City on Apri116, 2001.
Therefore, no planning was done or anticipated for this property. Additional studies should be performed to
assist the City in planning for this property in the future.
Planning Commission Findings of Fact
The Planning Commission reviewed the petition on June 12, 2001 and recommended denial of the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zone Change for the Michael and Eileen Devney property upon the
attached Findings of Fact.
ACTION REOUESTED
Approve or Deny the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zone Change for the Michael and Eileen Devney
property and direct staff to Findings of Fact and Conclusions consistent with the City Council's decision for
formal adoption at the next Council meeting.
Respectfully Submitted,

CITY OF FARMINGTON
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
IN RE: Petition for Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone for Michael and Eileen Devney Property
On May 22, 2001 and June 12, 2001, the Farmington Planning Commission held a public hearing to
consider the petition of Michael and Eileen Devney to seek a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to LowIMedium
Density Residential and a Zone Change from A-I (Agriculture) to R-2 (LowIMedium Density Residential). The
property is located in the West 2200 feet of the North one-half (Nl/2) of the Northeast Quarter (NEl/4) of Section
32, Township 114, Range 19, Dakota County, EXCEPTING therefrom the North 416 feet of the West 732.98 feet,
AND ALSO EXCEPTING therefrom the West 150 feet of the South 590 feet thereof. The Commission's
consideration of the request followed public testimony given at the meeting. The Planning Commission voted to
deny the requested petition on a 5-0 vote.
The Planning Commission considered the recommendation provided by staff and evidence and testimony
submitted.. The applicant was present and the Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to
speak and now makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Planning Commission cited the fact that the intersection at 213 th Street and Trunk Highway 3
has not been studied in great detail and issues such as funding of the signalization and improvements to the
intersection need to be determined and are unknown at this time.
2. The encroachment of the Prairie Waterway by a connection to the east from Spruce Street may
adversely impact the environmentally sensitive ecosystem of the waterway, therefore further traffic studies need to
be conducted to determine other solutions to avoid this potential encroachment.
3. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan did not include this area when planning the community, therefore
further studies such as the Comprehensive Thoroughfare Plan, Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan,
Comprehensive Water Plan and Surface Water Management Plan are needed to fully examine the impact of
development is this area.
4. The sanitary sewer can only serve half of the property with a gravity flow sewer service. Since the
City does not wish to add lift stations to the sanitary sewer system if possible and the possibility of extending a
sewer line to the north % of a mile to connect with an existing trunk line would represent a major capital investment
not currently programmed, the entire property cannot develop with gravity sanitary sewer service.
5. The lifecycle housing is out of balance because the 2005 MUSA allocation for low/medium density
ccres allowed only 30 acres. The property consists of 57.71 acres and exceeds the allocated acres.

RE:
Devney-Rother Property - Projected Traffic Volumes
On 213 th Street West
Our File No. 141-99-101
You have requested an assessment of the potential traffic volumes that could utilize 213th Street
West given development of the Devney/Rother properties. A map showing the property
locations is attached as Figure 1.
The Devney property contains 57.5 developable acres and the Rother property contains 40.75
developable acres. You have informed us that the overall density of East Farmington is 3.32
dwelling units per acre and that the Devney/Rother properties will develop between 2.5 and 5.5
dwelling units per are. Comparison of the estimated vehicular traffic for the properties are
shown on Tables 1 and 2. Weare assuming, for this document, that the dwelling units are single
family dwellings and not townhome style.

The daily and peak hour traffic estimates illustrate the range of values that could occur
dependent upon the design of the project. For this assessment we have assumed that the
development is all single family detached housing. The assessment, which follows, will address
the traffic impact on 213th Street W using the three project densities shown in Tables 1 and 2.
Figure 2 illustrates major ingress/egress points to the property that we have assumed for the
development. Project design will have an impact upon the travel choices made by residents of
the development.
The daily traffic estimates for the three density ranges are shown on Figure 3. Considering the
sum of both properties, we estimate that 70 percent of the traffic will use 213th Street, 5 percent
will travel north to CR 72 and then ultimately use 213th Street, which is also CR 72, and 25
percent of the traffic will use Spruce Street.
The 1996 daily traffic volume on 213 th Street was approximately 1,850 vehicles per day. This
volume was obtained from the MnDOT traffic flow map and is generally in the location where
213th Street meets Cambodia Avenue. The volumes on 213th, at the intersection with TH 3, are
probably higher than the 1850 daily volume due to the presence of the medical and residential
land uses along 213th Street between Cambodia Avenue and TH 3. Using the mid-range
density of 2,345 trips added by the developments would create a daily total of 4,145 vehicles
on 213th Street near Cambodia Avenue.
213th Street is designated as a major collector on the city thoroughfare plan. The volumes
projected to occur can be accommodated by a major collector. There will be a problem
developing at the intersection of213th Street with TH 3. The future volumes may create the need
for traffic signal control since the majority of the volumes will desire to negotiate a left turn from
213th Street to TH 3. The signalized intersection ofTH 3 with Elm Street is not very far from the
TH 3/213th Street intersection. Such signal spacing is surely not the most desirable, but may
become necessary. MnDOT and Dakota County would have to approve signalization should it
become necessary. An all-way stop would not be the most desirable either given its proximity to
a signalized intersection.
It should also be noted that should such volumes occur on 213th Street, some roadway
improvement work would be necessary on 213th Street at the intersection with TH 3. Two
intersection approach lanes would be necessary at the intersection in order to provide an
exclusive left turn lane and a right turn lane.
Summation
(J The major collector of213th W (CR 72) can accommodate future volume projections of the
Devney and Rother properties, assumed as single family detached housing development.
(J The overall density of 3.32 is much more desirable than the 5.5 density merely because less
traffic is generated, thus creating fewer traffic issues.
(J Dependant upon the total units constructed, a mix of single family detached housing and
townhouse may be desirable also. Townhome units generate fewer daily trips than single
family detached housing.
(J Development of the Devney/Rother properties may create a need for a traffic signal at the
intersection of213th Street with TH 3. Intersection improvements to 213th Street will also be
necessitated.

Re: Sewer and Water Service
Remarks: We have looked at the potential for serving the properties identified as Rother and
Devney with sewer and water. The attached figure identifies the properties and shows the location
of the existing sewer and water.
1. Existing Utilities: a. Sewer- 10" @ 0.28%, Invert e/ev. = 879.33
b. Water-12". Static Pressure = 90 psi

b. Rother - 60 Acres
3. Estimated Flows:
Sewer- 3 units/acre 1r 3 people/unit 1r 100 gpcd 1r 122 acres = 110,000 gal/day

Water- Avg Day = 110,000 gal/day. Max Day = 330,000 gal/day, Peak Hour
= 660,000 gal/day = 460 gpm. Fireflow = 1,000 gpm. FF governs
4. Sewer Capacity and Elevation:
10" @ 0.28% = 520 gpm OK
By comparing this area to the East Farmington area it was decided that this
area would likely be developed with split level homes. Additionally, the area
would most likely have to be built up due to the nearby wetland area. From the
USGS map, it appears that the wetland is at an approximate elevation of 890.0.
It is our best guess the lowest ground floor elevation would be 893.0, t~erefore
putting the basement floor elevation at apPf".oximately 889.0.; Our highest "

5. Water Service:
We looked at the computer model 14199117\exsystem2.dwg and the flow test data
taken by Bill Wierke and myself on June 28 of last year. We extended the model to
the east to determine available fire flow. In order to provide a residential fire flow to
the eastern end of the potential annexation area will require either a looped 6-inch
system or a dead end 8" system. For water quality reasons, the looped system is
preferable. In order to provide a better balance, it is recommended that an 8-inch
main be extended due east, and then 6 inch mains could be looped internally to the
north and south. These relatively small main sizes will work because of the high
static pressures in the area. This allows relatively high head losses, while still
providing 20 psi residual pressure.

Consider Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Rother Property
TO:
FROM:
DATE:
June 18, 2001
INTRODUCTION
Lawrence Rother is seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for his property to LowlMedium Density
Residential and to rezone his property from A-I (Agriculture) to R-2 (LowlMedium Density-Residential). The
Rother property is located east of 213th Street (County Road 72) and the Prairie Waterway, south of the
Devney property, west and north of Empire Township.
DISCUSSION
The Rother property was annexed into the City on April 16, 2001 and was brought into the City in less than
60-acre increments and given an A-I zoning classification per City policy. The total acreage of Rother's
property is 56.12 acres.
The applicant proposes to amend the Comprehensive Plan to LowlMedium Density Residential on the
property. Preliminary development proposals have ranged from multi-family townhomes to smaller single
family lot development, similar to East Farmington.
The applicant is also seeking to rezone the property from A-I (Agricultural District) to R-2 (LowlMedium
Density Residential District). The A-I zoning category is designated to a property when it is annexed into the
City. Additionally, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zone Change is required if an applicant plans for
development on the property.
The R-2 (Low/Medium Density Residential District) is intended as an area which incorporates older existing
development as well as undeveloped land that would be suitable for small lot single-family construction as
well as duplexes, townhouses and quad homes.
At the Planning Commission meeting on May 22, 2001, the Commissioners requested certain issues be
reviewed before the Commission acted upon the Rother petition. The following are items that the Commission
requested further discussion on:
1. Transportation System
2. Sanitary Sewer
3. Low/Medium Acres Calculation
4. Property Not Anticipated in Comprehensive Plan

Transportation System
Shelly Johnson, Transportation Engineer for Bonestroo, Anderlik & Rosene reviewed the projected traffic
volumes for the Rother property and the property to the north owned by Michael and Eileen Devney and his
findings are documented in the attached memo. Mr. Johnson has assumed a density range of2.5, 3.32 or 5.5 in
projecting development rates and estimating traffic counts. In his final analysis, he states that 213th Street
functions as a major collector and can accommodate future single-family detached development subject to the
improvements specified.
Additionally, he recommends that a density similar to East Farmington at 3.32 is more desirable than the 5.5
density because it generates less traffic from the developments. He also suggested a combination of single-
family and townhome units in the developments because townhomes tend to generate less traffic as well.
Finally, he proposes that the developments would create the need for signalization at the intersection of 213th
Street and Trunk Highway 3 as well as improvements on 213th Street for left and right turn lanes to maximize
traffic movement.
Mr. Johnson's memo suggests that 213th Street can accommodate future traffic projections from the
developments, however, in Figure 2 he shows a number of additional assumed major ingress/egress routes to
the Rother property as well as the Devney property to the north. Two accesses from the west are shown at
213th Street and Spruce Street, one is shown to the north accessing 210th Street and one is shown to the south
as a future access. In addition, the needed improvements to 213th Street and 210th Street are not currently
planned or programmed for by the City, Township and MnDOT.
Additional transportation studies are required with these proposed accesses due to inherent problems with each
ingress/egress shown. The access shown at Spruce Street may be problematic because of the need to cross the
Prairie Waterway. Decisions to encroach into this environmentally sensitive ecosystem have not been
previously contemplated and thus would need to be extensively reviewed.
The access to the north needs to be reviewed because 2l0th Street is bounded on the north by Empire
Township. Additional discussions with this body must take place before development could occur. The
access to the south is also difficult because the property owner south of Rother has not indicated a desire to
develop his property and any future access to the south would most likely be slow in proceeding.
Therefore, additional accesses to this region need to be planned and reviewed before any development could
occur on the Rother property.
Sanitary Sewer
The City has reviewed the feasibility of serving this property with sanitary sewer and water service. As the
attached comments from Mark Rolfs of Bonestroo indicate, only the west half of the property can currently be
served with gravity flow sewer service (see attached plan). Other possibilities to serve the east half of the
property would involve extending a new trunk line south from the existing interceptor line near CSAH 66
approximately % mile to the north of the property or installing a lift station.
Since the City does not wish to add lift stations to their sewer system if possible and with only half of the
property served with gravity sewer at this time, it is not feasible to develop the property to its potential.
Low/Medium Acres Calculation
The approved MUSA Staging Plan provides for 30 low/medium density acres to be allocated in the MUSA in
2005. As mentioned above, the total number of acres being applied for by the Rother property is 56.12 acres,
Therefore, low/medium density MUSA acres could not be fully granted to this property because of the limited
amount of MUSA allocated in 2005.
Property Not Anticipated in Comprehensive Plan
In 1998 when the Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan was being prepared, the Rother property was in
Empire Township and has remained there until recently when it was annexed into the City on April 16, 2001.
Therefore, no planning was done or anticipated for this property. Additional studies should be performed to
assist the City in planning for this property in the future.
Planning Commission Findings of Fact
The Planning Commission reviewed the petitiOn on June 12, 2001 and recommended denial of the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zone Change for the Lawrence Rother property upon the attached
Findings of Fact.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve or Deny the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zone Change for the Lawrence Rother property
and direct staff to Findings of Fact and Conclusions consistent with the City Council's decision for formal
adoption at the next Council meeting.

DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
IN RE: Petition for Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone for Lawrence Rother Property
On May 22, 2001 and June 12, 2001, the Farmington Planning Commission held a public hearing to
consider the petition of Lawrence Rother to seek a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Low/Medium Density
Residential and a Zone Change from A-I (Agriculture) to R-2 (Low/Medium Density Residential). The
property is located in the West 2200 feet of the S Y2 of the NE 'l4 of Section 32, Township 114 Range 19,
Dakota County, excepting therefrom the West 350 feet thereof. The Commission's consideration of the request
followed public testimony given at the meeting. The Planning Commission voted to deny the requested petition
on a 5-0 vote.
The Planning Commission considered the recommendation provided by staff and evidence and testimony
submitted.. The applicant was present and the Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to
speak and now makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Planning Commission cited the fact that the intersection at 2l3th Street and Trunk Highway 3
has not been studied in great detail and issues such as funding of the signalization and improvements to the
intersection need to be determined and are unknown at this time.
2. The encroachment of the Prairie Waterway by a connection to the east from Spruce Street may
adversely impact the environmentally sensitive ecosystem of the waterway, therefore further traffic studies need to
be conducted to determine other solutions to avoid this potential encroachment.
3. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan did not include this area when planning the community, therefore
further studies such as the Comprehensive Thoroughfare Plan, Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan,
Comprehensive Water Plan and Surface Water Management Plan are needed to fully examine the impact of
development is this area.
4. The sanitary sewer can only serve half of the property with a gravity flow sewer service. Since the
City does not wish to add lift stations to the sanitary sewer system if possible and the possibility of extending a
sewer line to the north % of a mile to connect with an existing trunk line would represent a major capital investment
not currently programmed, the entire property cannot develop with gravity sanitary sewer service.
5. The lifecycle housing is out of balance because the 2005 MUSA allocation for low/medium density
acres allowed only 30 acres. The property consists of 56.12 acres and exceeds the allocated acres.

RE:
Devney-Rother Property - Projected Traffic Volumes
On 213th Street West
Our File No. 141-99-101
You have requested an assessment of the potential traffic volumes that could utilize 213th Street
West given development ofthe Devney/Rother properties. A map showing the property
locations is attached as Figure 1.
The Devney property contains 57.5 developable acres and the Rother property contains 40.75
developable acres. You have informed us that the overall density of East Farmington is 3.32
dwelling units per acre and that the Devney/Rother properties will develop between 2.5 and 5.5
dwelling units per are. Comparison of the estimated vehicular traffic for the properties are
shown on Tables 1 and 2. We are assuming, for this document, that the dwelling units are single
family dwellings and not townhome style.

2. Assumed all single family detached housing
The daily and peak hour traffic estimates illustrate the range of values that could occur
dependent upon the design of the project. For this assessment we have assumed that the
development is all single family detached housing. The assessment, which follows, will address
the traffic impact on 213th Street W using the three project densities shown in Tables 1 and 2.
Figure 2 illustrates major ingress/egress points to the property that we have assumed for the
development. Project design will have an impact upon the travel choices made by residents of
the development.
The daily traffic estimates for the three density ranges are shown on Figure 3. Considering the
sum of both properties, we estimate that 70 percent of the traffic will use 213th Street, 5 percent
will travel north to CR 72 and then ultimately use 213 th Street, which is also CR 72, and 25
percent of the traffic will use Spruce Street.
The 1996 daily traffic volume on 213 th Street was approximately 1,850 vehicles per day. This
volume was obtained from the MnDOT traffic flow map and is generally in the location where
213th Street meets Cambodia Avenue. The volumes on 213th, at the intersection with TH 3, are
probably higher than the 1850 daily volume due to the presence of the medical and residential
land uses along 213th Street between Cambodia Avenue and TH 3. Using the mid-range
density of 2,345 trips added by the developments would create a daily total of 4,145 vehicles
on 213th Street near Cambodia Avenue.
213th Street is designated as a major collector on the city thoroughfare plan. The volumes
projected to occur can be accommodated by a major collector. There will be a problem
developing at the intersection of213th Street with TH 3. The future volumes may create the need
for traffic signal control since the majority of the volumes will desire to negotiate a left turn from
213th Street to TH 3. The signalized intersection ofTH 3 with Elm Street is not very far from the
TH 3/213th Street intersection. Such signal spacing is surely not the most desirable, but may
become necessary. MnDOT and Dakota County would have to approve signalization should it
become necessary. An all-way stop would not be the most desirable either given its proximity to
a signalized intersection.
It should also be noted that should such volumes occur on 213th Street, some roadway
improvement work would be necessary on 213 th Street at the intersection with TH 3. Two
intersection approach lanes would be necessary at the intersection in order to provide an
exclusive left turn lane and a right turn lane.
Summation
Q The major collector of213th W (CR 72) can accommodate future volume projections of the
Devney and Rother properties, assumed as single family detached housing development.
Q The overall density of3.32 is much more desirable than the 5.5 density merely because less
traffic is generated, thus creating fewer traffic issues.
Q Dependant upon the total units constructed, a mix of single family detached housing and
townhouse may be desirable also. Townhome units generate fewer daily trips than single
family detached housing.
Q Development of the Devney/Rother properties may create a need for a traffic signal at the
intersection of213th Street with TH 3. Intersection improvements to 213th Street will also be
necessitated.

Re: Sewer and Water Service
Remarks: We have looked at the potential for serving the properties identified as Rother and
Devney with sewer and water. The attached figure identifies the properties and shows the location
of the existing sewer and water.
1. Existing Utilities: a. Sewer- 10"@ 0.28%, Invert e/ev. = 879.33
b. Water - 12". Static Pressure = 90 psi
2. Potential Annexation Areas: a. Devney - 62 Acres
b. Rother - 60 Acres
3. Estimated Flows:
Sewer- 3 units/acre * 3 people/unit * 100 gpcd * 122 acres = 110,000 gal/day
PFF = 4.0 Design Flow = 440,000 gal/day = 305 gpm.
Water- Avg Day = 110,000 gal/day. Max Day = 330,000 gal/day, Peak Hour
= 660,000 gal/day = 460 gpm. Fireflow = 1,000 gpm. FF governs
4. Sewer Capacity and Elevation:
10" @ 0.28% = 520 gpm OK
By comparing this area to the East Farmington area it was decided that this
area would likely be developed with split level homes. Additionally, the area
would most likely have to be built up due to the nearby wetland area. From the
USGS map, it appears that the wetland is at an approximate elevation of 890.0.
It is our best guess the lowest ground floor elevation would be 893.0, tl?erefore
putting the basement floor elevation at approximately 889.0. Our highest "

can serve approximately the western one-half of the potential annexation area
with gravity.
5. Water Service:
We looked at the computer model 14199117\exsystem2.dwg and the flow test data
taken by Bill Wierke and myself on June 28 of last year. We extended the model to
the east to determine available fire flow. In order to provide a residential fire flow to
the eastern end of the potential annexation area will require either a looped 6-inch
system or a dead end 8" system. For water quality reasons, the looped system is
preferable. In order to provide a better balance, it is recommended that an 8-inch
main be extended due east, and then 6 inch mains could be looped internally to the
north and south. These relatively small main sizes will work because of the high
static pressures in the area. This allows relatively high head losses, while still
providing 20 psi residual pressure.

SUBJECT:
Middle Creek 4th Addition Final Plat
DATE:
June 18,2001
INTRODUCTION
D R Horton and Arcon Development Inc. jointly propose to plat 68 townhome units within the
Middle Creek 4th Addition. The 68 townhome lots are located directly east of Pilot Knob Road
and south of the previous 66 units plated as part of the Middle Creek 2nd Addition.
DISCUSSION
The 68-townhome units are part of the 222 overall townhome units proposed for the project. The
Middle Creek 4th Addition Final Plat is proposed to slightly deviate from the approved
preliminary plat iri that the developer/builder is proposing to.include two:"stall garages instead of.
the proposed single-stall garages. This change is proposed for the four lots located north of 206th
Street, this will require the lots to be extended an additional twelve feet to accommodate the two
additional stalls on both sides of the building.
The Preliminary Plat was approved by the Planning Commission on August 8, 2000 and by the
City Council on August 21, 2000.
The plat is comprised of the following area summary:
Block 1 Area =
Block 2 Area =
Total Lot Area =
Total Outlot Area =
Total Right-of-Way =
Total Area =
3.5020 acres
3.3105 acres
6.8125 acres
8.7449 acres
0.7942 acres
16.3516 acres
Transportation
The final plat shows the 206th Street right-of-way which will act as the main access in and out of
the townhome portion of the development until the north/south road is constructed in future
phases.
206th Street will be comprised of a 60-foot right-of-way and 34-foot roadway measured from the
back of curb to the back of curb and will be constructed from Pilot Knob Road to the easterly
side of Lot 4, Block 1. A majority of the traffic is expected to enter and leave the property from
this access, thereby requiring a left and right turn lane on Pilot Knob Road into the development.
The homeowners association will maintain the private driveways that extend off of 206th Street
and which serve each of the units.
Parks & Trails
The Parks & Recreation Commission have requested that a park be provided in the southeastern
portion of the project, north of the creek and west of Akin Road.
Trails are planned on the south side of 206th Street, connecting to the future north/south trail
along Pilot Knob Road. That trail will also connect to the future sidewalk/trail along the
north/south road that will be constructed in future phases.
Offstreet Parking
Staff requests that the developer strongly consider additional off-street parking stalls to be
constructed in locations off of the private drives, currently only four (4) off-street parking stalls
(other than the driveways in front of each garage unit) are proposed as part of the 4th Addition.
Fifty-two (52) of the sixty-six (66) units are planned for a two-stall garage for a total of four
parking spaces per unit. The middle units (mainly on the south side of 206th Street and within
the first phase) will have single-stall garages, for two off-street parking stalls, which meets the
minimum required off-street parking by the City Code (two per unit).
The Middle Creek plan indicates twenty-two (22) stalls in the first phase for 72 units, four (4)
off-street parking stalls are proposed in the second phase and twenty-one (21) stalls are proposed
as part of the last phase. Some on-street parking will be available along 206th Street.
Landscape Plan Review
A landscaping plan was approved as apart of the overall development plan. Boulevard trees are
planned along 206th Street. Trees are proposed between the driveways along the private drives,
landscaping is also planned around each of the units.
Engineering Review
The Engineering Division reviewed and approved the initial Middle Creek 4th Addition Final Plat
and grading plans, but due to the proposed changes to the plat, requests revised grading plans for
those areas.
ACTION REOUESTED
Consider attached resolution to approve the Middle Creek 4th Addition Final Plat contingent on
the execution of a Development Contract, the submittal of a revised grading plan and continued
review of additional off-street parking within the plat.

Consider Resolution - Wilson Property Preliminary Plat
DATE:
June 18, 2001
INTRODUCTION
Steve and Nancy Wilson, 5200 203rd Street West, Farmington, Minnesota, Arcon Development, Inc. and D. R.
Horton have submitted an application for the Wilson Property Preliminary Plat to subdivide 9 lots on 4.7 acres.
The property is located in the central portion of the Middle Creek development and was recently rezoned to R-
3 PUD on May 21,2001.
DISCUSSION
The applicants are seeking to subdivide the property into 9 single-family lots arranged around a 570-foot long
cul-de-sac. The property consists of the original 4 acres owned by the Steve and Nancy Wilson along with
approximately 0.7 acres to the west of the Wilson property currently owned by Arcon and D. R. Horton.
A total of 2 outlots also exist on the proposed plat. Outlot A is included in Lots 2 and 3 in Block 3 of Middle
Creek 3rd Addition and Outlot B will be included in lots to be platted in a later phase.
The following is a calculation of lot sizes and widths for the proposed lots:
Lot Size Width
Lot 1 10,974 square feet 90.0 feet
Lot 2 14,044 square feet 85.0 feet
Lot 3 21,940 square feet 85.0 feet
Lot 4 27,472 square feet 80.0 feet
Lot 5 32,941 square feet 80.0 feet
Lot 6 19,923 square feet 80.0 feet
Lot 7 15,368 square feet 80.0 feet
Lot 8 16,653 square feet 80.0 feet
Lot 9 14,732 square feet 87.3 feet
Outlot A 1,728 square feet
OutlotB 7,382 square feet
Proposed Housing
The Developer proposes walk-outs for five of the nine lots in the development. One look-out and three
ramblers with full basements are proposed for the remaining lots located on the higher elevated sites as shown
on the attached grading plan.
The topography on the site shows a 38-foot difference from the top of the northeast comer of the site to the
southwest comer of the site. However, this distance is within a 750-foot run, calculating to a 5% slope to the
southwest. The greatest slope is in the southwest and southern portion of the property where the Developer
stated at the Planning Commission meeting on June 12, 2001 that he proposes to save as many trees in this
area as possible, thereby grading the northern portion of the property and planting trees in these disturbed
areas.
Transportation
The preliminary plat shows 9 lots arranged around a 570-foot long cul-de-sac that will eventually connect to
the proposed 203rd Street east/west minor collector. Since the cul-de-sac length exceeds the City requirement
in Section 11-4-3 (B) stating that cul-de-sac streets shall not exceed 500 feet in length, a variance must be
applied for before the final plat may be approved.
The cul-de-sac roadway width is proposed at 28 feet measured from face of curb to face of curb. City policy
also requires a sidewalk proposed on one side of a 28-foot wide street. The plat does not show the sidewalk
and should therefore be a contingency in the approval of the preliminary plat.
The Developer agreed to these conditions at the June 12,2001 Planning Commission meeting.
Update on 203rd Street Issue
Engineering concepts are continuing to be prepared by the Developer's engineer to address the issue of the
encroachment of the existing McCarthy house in the current roadway easement.
At their meeting on June 12, 2001, the Planning Commission issued a statement to the Developer informing
him that they would not review a final plat to the Wilson Property until the issue with 203rd Street and the
McCarthy house was resolved.
Engineering Review
The Engineering Division and Dakota County Soil & Water Conservation District submitted review comments
concerning the plat and are attached to this packet. The review comments are minor and are not detrimental to
the approval of the plat.
The Planning Commission approved the Wilson Property Preliminary Plat contingent on the below conditions
and the statement of not reviewing the Wilson Property Final Plat until the 203rd Street/McCarthy house issue
is resolved.
ACTION REQUESTED
Consider the attached resolution approvmg the Wilson Property Preliminary Plat contingent upon the
following items:
1. The Developer seeks a variance request for the 570-foot cul-de-sac that exceeds the City standards in
Section 11-4-3 (B) of the City Code.
2. A sidewalk is required on one side of the 28-foot wide cul-de-sac road to meet City standards.
Respectfully ~mitted().

RE: REVIEW OF THE PRELIMINARY GRADING PLAN FOR THE WILSON PROPERTY, PART OF
MIDDLE CREEK ESTATES P.U.D.
Ref.: 00-FRM-037
Dear Mike:
The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has reviewed the Preliminary Grading
Plan for the above-mentioned site. This project entails 9 single-family lots on approximately 4.8 acres.
The following report summarizes the proposed erosion controls and submits additional erosion control
recommendations.
As no erosion controls are shown on the plan, we suggest the following:
1. Preserve as much existing vegetation as possible. Do not grade the western slope.
.2. Use erosion blanket on all graded 3:1 and steeper slopes.
3. Show type of energy dissipation devices at all storm sewer outlets.
4. Include temporary and permanent seeding, mulching, and fertilization specifications on the plan.
5. Install silt fence at the edge of grading at all down-slope gradients.
6. Include notes regarding NPDES permit requirements on the plan, including inspection and
maintenance timing.
7. Include locations and specification of all erosion controls on the plan.
8. Install silt fence, a double row of sod, or alternative device behind curbs and the down-slope gradient
between lots to minimize runoff from lots during building construction.
9. Additional controls may be deemed necessary during construction to protect nearby wetland
resources.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this plan. Good implementation, consistent monitoring, and
maintenance of all erosion control measures are important to minimize erosion on this construction site.
Call me at (651) 480-7779 if you have questions.
Sincerely,
2.. ESe

cash escrow or irrevocable letter of credit as provided in paragraph 26 of this Agreement. The City may draw down this
security in the amount of $500.00 per day that the Developer is in violation. The City, in its sole discretion, shall determine
whether the Developer is in violation of the Agreement. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 30 hereof, this determination
may be made without notice to the Developer. It is stipulated that the violation of any term will result in damages to the City in
