Ash Street).
Properties that are adjacent to City sewer service that mayor may not be
developed, that have a deferred assessment for a public improvement project
that includes sanitary sewer (vacant lots along 213th Street, Marcel property).
Other similar situations that may arise that have not been contemplated.

e) New Development Standard - Street Construction - Engineering
In 2001, the City's standard street construction requirements will include
bituminous joint sawing and sealing. The purpose for sawing joints in the
pavement is to provide expansion joints in the roadway that would function in a
similar fashion as the expansion joints that are constructed in concrete
applications. This should eliminate future street cracking in random patterns.
Staff will be contacting the developers that are working in the City to notify them
of the change in the City's street standards.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a) Consider Ordinance - Rezoning Property Located at 220tb Street and
Denmark Avenue (continued) - Community Development
The City received a petition from Mr. Jim Allen to rezone the property located in
the northwest comer of the intersection of Denmark A venue and Ash Street and
extends just north of the Vermillion River. He is requesting to rezone the
property from R-l (Low Density) to R-2 (Medium Density) and R-3 (High
Density), which is consistent with the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Jim Allen
stated there are 16 acres of pipeline easement in the center of the property and 17
acres north of the wetland. He views the rezoning and MUSA designation as two
separate issues. Mayor Ristow wanted to make sure it is understood that if the
rezoning is approved, this does not guarantee MUSA designation on the property.
Mr. Allen stated he understood. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Strachan
adopting ORDINANCE 001-458 rezoning the Allen property from R-l (Low
Density) to R-2 (Medium Density) and R-3 (High Density) following the
designated land uses indicated within the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. APIF,

SUBJECT:
Downtown Streetscape Project Change Order
DATE:
February 5,2001
INTRODUCTION
Two changes to the Downtown Streetscape Project are herewith forwarded to Council for review.
DISCUSSION
The first item for Council consideration is the overlay of Third and Oak Streets. The overlay was completed in
September, 2000 in order to eliminate future construction disruptions and to enhance the aesthetics of the
project. The estimated cost for the overlay was $23,776.94. During the overlay operation, it became apparent
that the estimated quantities would need to be overrun to eliminate low areas in the street and to provide a
more uniform appearance throughout the project area. The final construction cost for the overlay was
$32,102.45, resulting in an additional cost of $8,325.51.
The second item for Council consideration is additional edge milling of the pavement. When the curb was
replaced, some of the elevations were modified to eliminate drainage problems. Additional edge milling was
necessary to accommodate the modified curb elevations, the overlay and make the street cross-section more
uniform. The cost for the additional edge milling is $8,934.22.
BUDGET IMPACT
The total estimated costs for the two items outlined above is $17,259.73. These costs are within the
contingency amount budgeted for the project. Current project budget projections indicate that the project line
items as a whole are slightly under budget; therefore the use of the budget contingency at this time is
somewhat less than the total amount indicated for the change order items on the project. The total amount of
project contingency being used to date including the items that are the subject of this memo is $31,335.54.
The budgeted contingency for the project is $126,900.
ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize the change order to the Downtown Streetscape Project in the amount of $17,259.73.

SUBJECT: Appointment Recommendation - Fire Department
DATE: February 5, 2001
INTRODUCTION
A recommendation of appointment by Chief Kuchera has been received by my office regarding
the requested appointment of three new firefighters to the Fire Department.
DISCUSSION
In accordance with City ordinances, Chapter 7, Section 1-7-3 (e) (3), the Office of the City
Administrator is required to recommend all appointments brought before Council for ratification.
In addition, pursuant to the Fire Department Constitution, Section 6, all appointments are subject
to the approval of the City Council.
In light of Fire Department procedures in appointing department personnel, this office has no
knowledge of any circumstances that would disqualify the appointments of Mr. David Sender,
Mr. John Bauman and Mr. James Schmitz to positions as Firefighters. The appointment of these
three new members would provide the department with the maximum authorized complement of
36 members.
RECOMMENDATION
Council ratification of the appointments of Mr. David Sender, Mr. John Bauman and Mr. James
Schmitz as Firefighters, effective February 12,2001.

keeping system. Additionally, they will provide guidance to the Safety Committee in their

at no additional cost.

CEEF's mission is to provide a vehicle for communication and cooperation among

Consider Resolution - Capital Outlay Purchase - Parks and

DATE:
February 5,2001
INTRODUCTION
Sealed bids were opened on Tuesday, January 30th for the automated refuse packer and
chassis.
DISCUSSION
Bids were requested for an automated refuse packer and chassis. The City received two
bids, which were opened and reviewed by staff. The companies providing bids for this
equipment are as follows:
1. McQueen Equipment
2. Boyer Trucks, Inc.
Total Bid $160,602.00
Total Bid $167,189.00
This specialized equipment is only available from limited suppliers. The two bids were
for the same packer with different chassis.
The bids also included the trade in of the 1989 Ford C8000. The bidders both allowed
$4.700.00 as a trade in for this equipment. The above bids reflect the trade in savings.
BUDGET IMPACT
Funds were budgeted for this purchase in 2001. The City will realize cost savings of
$36,423.00 from the budgeted amount of$197,025.00. The low bid is less than what the
City paid for the same equipment in 1999.

Adopt the attached resolution approving the purchase of the automated refuse packer and
chassis from McQueen equipment.

Consider Resolution - Amend Fees - Parks and Recreation Department
DATE:
February 5, 2001
INTRODUCTION
The City Fee Resolution needs to be. amended by adding a Wetland Buffer Sign fee and a Wood
Disposal Dumpster fee.
DISCUSSION
City Ordinance states that developers are to place wetland buffer signs along the edges of abutting
wetlands. So that the signs located throughout the City remain consistent, staff has ordered signs for
purchase by the developers. The City's cost for the signs will be offset by a charge of $1 0 per sign to
the developers. Attached is a copy of the sign.
The City Fee Resolution has a Wood Recycling Dumpster fee of$125 in place. This fee covers both
recycled wood disposal and disposal of wood to the landfill. Staff has reviewed this fee and has
determined that with the addition of a separate fee to dispose of wood to the landfill, the City will
reduce costs to certain customers by lowering the Wood Recycling Dumpster fee. The proposed
change is as follows:
Page 15, add: Wood Recycling Dumpster - 10 cy. Rolloff
Wood Disposal Dumpster - 10 cy. Rolloff
$IOO.OO/pull
$ 125.00/pull
ACTION REOUESTED
Consider adopting a resolution establishing a Wetland Buffer Sign fee of$IO/sign, add a Wood
Disposal Dumpster fee of $ 125.00/pull and reduce the Wood Recycling Dumpster fee from

WETLAND BUFFER
The plantings in. this area contain native
trees, flowering plants, shrubs and grasses
that provide food for birds, fish and other
native wildlife. The plants also help to
hold--soil and prevent erosion, improve
water quality and provide natural habitats
for animals. Under City Wetland
Ordinance No. 10-9-2, no clearing or
removal of vegetation in the buffer area
is allowed. Dead trees or branches
provide excellent habitat for native
wildlife and should not be removed
from the wetland buffer.

Consider Ordinance - Riverbend Schematic PUD
TO:
FROM:
DATE:
February 5, 2001
INTRODUCTION
Astra Genstar Partnership, L.L.P. proposes to develop approximately 126.2 acres (67 acres is
developable) of land in the northeast corner of the City directly east of Dakota County Estates.
The developer proposes to rezone the property from R-l (Single-Family Residential) and F-3
(General Flood Plain) to R-2 PUD (Medium Density Residential Planned Unit Development)
within the 67 acres of developable land.
DISCUSSION
Astra Genstar Partnership, L.L.P. originally proposed 168 single-family lots and 94-201 multi-
family units within the Riverbend Schematic PUD. However, because of strong opposition from
the neighbors within Dakota County Estates, the Riverbend Schematic PUD has been revised
eliminating the multi-family land use thereby proposing the development as single-family
residential throughout the property.
The revised concept shows 272 single-family lots on 67.1 acres of upland area resulting in a 4.0
unit/acre density. This falls within the low/medium land use density category of2.5 to 5.5 units
per acre complying with the 2020 Comprehensive Plan.
At the December 12, 2000 Planning Commission meeting, residents from the Dakota County
Estates neighborhood acknowledged concerns about the Riverbend proposal that showed both
single-family and multi-family units on the property. Additionally, they were concerned with the
amount of traffic that would be generated from the single and multi-family uses. Another
concern was the single-family lot sizes, requesting that they be larger than the 6,000 square foot
lots currently within the Dakota County Estates subdivision.
Multi-Family Residential
The residents were concerned that the location of multi-family units within the proposal would
reduce the values in their homes and create increased populations of people in a small area. The
Developer has addressed this issue by eliminating the multi-family units thereby reducing the
amount of total units in the development by 97 units.
Traffic Analysis
The Developer proposes four accesses from its property, two accesses to the west through
Dakota County Estates at Upper 182nd Street and Upper 183rd Street (see attached map of
Dakota County Estates and Riverbend). Two accesses are also proposed to the south through the
proposed Prairie Creek East subdivision. The northerly access shown on the plan that has yet to
be determined for connection to the north in the Lakeville City limits is the fifth access from the
property. All of the streets in the development will be within the public right-of-way.
Shelly Johnson, the City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the revised single-family plan. His
preliminary findings indicate that the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation daily
traffic from the development will generate 2,605 vehicles per day. The AM peak hour traffic
into the development is 50 vehicles and out of the development is 150 vehicles. The PM peak
hour traffic into the development is 175 vehicles and out of the development is 100 vehicles.
In order to determine actual trips generated from the Riverbend and Dakota County Estates
subdivisions a traffic study will be required at Pilot Knob Road and the intersections of 180th
Street, Upper 182nd Street and Upper 183rd Street. This traffic study is part of the
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W) that is required for the review of this
development. In order to begin an EA W, a schematic plan needs to be prepared to review traffic
issues, environmental issues and other concerns pertaining to the property. The EA W must
contain the description of the project, quantification of physical characteristics and impacts and
major issues identifying potential environmental impacts and issues that may require further
investigation before the project may commence such as transportation, wetlands etc. Therefore,
approval of the schematic PUD does not imply that the EA W will be approved.
Lot Size
The Developer proposes lot sizes ranging from 6,000 square feet to 15,000 square feet in the
development. The residents raised concerns about the amount of lots in the development if the
lots remained at 6,000 square feet generating increases in traffic and reducing the quality of life
for people within the neighborhood.
The lot sizes meet the requirements of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan showing low/medium
density. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan showed this area as low/medium density in order to
correlate to the lot sizes in Dakota County Estates. Because this revised proposal meets the
requirements of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan, staff recommends approval of the Riverbend
Schematic PUD.
Phasing of the Development
The Developer proposes that the project gain approval of the P.U.D., Environmental Assessment
Worksheet and Phase I of the development by May of 2001. The Developer plans to start
grading and constructing utilities and streets in June 2001 and begin house construction in the
fall of 200 1.
2
Homebuyer & Housing Characteristics
In the first phase of the project, the Developer proposes 60 to 70- foot wide lots in the southwest
corner of the property marketed toward housing in the $120,000 to $180,000 price range.
Amenities to the project include low maintenance entryway features, boulevard tree plantings,
wetland preservation, parkland dedication, standardized mailbox structures, sidewalks and trails
and architectural controls that will ensure the construction of a quality neighborhood.
Utilities
Water access is available through Dakota County Estates and sewer will be available from the
south through the Prairie Creek East development. A 60-foot wide gas line easement runs from
the southwest corner of the site to the northeast near the central portion of the easterly half of the
site. No structures may be located within the easement.
Wetlands
The wetlands shown on the site are classified as Manage 2 and Protect wetlands. The Manage 2
wetlands are located in the central portion of the site. Manage 2 wetlands have typically been
altered by human activities. Manage 2 buffer widths require a minimum buffer of 20 feet and a
structure setback from the outer edge of the buffer of 10 feet, thereby requiring a structure
setback of 30 feet from the wetland. The Protect wetland is located in the northeast portion of
the property and will not be affected by development.
Floodplain
The floodplain takes up most of the easterly half of the property. A Letter of Map Revision is
being prepared to send to FEMA requesting the revised floodplain line as shown on the
Schematic Plan. No platting of lots will be allowed in areas currently identified within the
floodplain until the Letter of Map Revision is approved by FEMA.
Parks & Trails
The Developer proposes a park area in the north central portion of the site and trails located
throughout the development. The park dedication requirement is 12.5% of the total acreage and
will be dedicated by the developer through land, fees and/or trail construction.
Population Projections
The Developer has estimated a maximum build-out of 272 units. The maximum population of
Riverbend would be approximately 680 persons.
ACTION REQUESTED
Consider adoption of an ordinance approving the Riverbend Schematic PUD rezoning the 67
acres of developable land from R-l (Single-Family Residential) and F-3 (General Flood Plain) to
R-2 PUD (Medium Density Residential Planned Unit Development).

Consider Resolution - Charleswood 4th Addition Final Plat
FROM:
SUBJECT:
DATE:
February 5, 2001
INTRODUCTION
Newland Communities (formerly Genstar Development) is seeking Final Plat approval
for Charleswood 4th Addition. The 4th Addition consists of 98 single-family lots. This
plat is the final phase of the single-family portion of the Charleswood Planned Unit
Development.
DISCUSSION
Newland Communities is seeking Final Plat approval of 98 single-family lots within the
Charleswood 4th Addition; this is the final plat involving the single-family portion of the
Charleswood Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Charleswood development, if the
4th Addition is approved, will have a total of 235 single-family platted lots. The
remainder of the Charleswood development will involve the future development of the
multi-family phases and the commercial portion of the PUD. .
The developer phased the Preliminary Plat of the 3rd Addition i~to two phases, which was
approved by the Planning Commission on March 14, 2000. The Planning Commission,
at their January 9, 2001 meeting, forwarded a recommendation to approve the
Charleswood 4th Addition Final Plat contingent upon the following:
1) The developer submit an easement agreement acceptable to the City to provide street
and utility access to the Nordseth property across Lot 14, Block 1;
2) Amend the Landscape plan substituting the Sugar Maples with another tree species
accepted in Title 10-6-14 (G);
3) Correct the street name from 203rd Street W. to 200th Street W.;
4) Engineering review and approval of final construction plans;
5) Execution of the Development Contract.
All of the issues listed above have been addressed with the developer, who has or will be
making the final corrections on the final plat. The developer has agreed that Lot 14,
Block 1 will serve as an access to the Nordseth property that will allow for the
construction of a stub street to the property until the construction of 200th Street W to the
west that would eventually serve as access to the property.
Engineering
All major engineering issues have been resolved. The City Water Board will be
purchasing Lot 19, Block 1 for a future well house site. The City Engineer and the
developer are continuing negotiations over the location of possibly two additional well
house sites either within this plat or within the future 5th Addition along 20ath Street.
ACTION REQUESTED
Consider a resolution approving the Charleswood 4th Addition Final Plat under the
following conditions:
1. Developer, pursuant to the terms and conditions to be specified in a Development
Contract, will deed or dedicate to the City public road access to the Nordseth
property on and across Lot 14, Block 1 until such time as 200th Street or alternate
permanent access is provided to the Nordseth property as determined by the City, or
the City approves a plat or use of the Nordseth property eliminating the need for
access to the Nordseth property through the Charleswood 4th plat, and at that time
the City shall re-convey, vacate or otherwise release its interest in Lot 14, Block 1 to
the Developer;
2. The Final Plat approval is contingent on the preparation and execution of the
Development Contract and approval of the construction plans for grading, storm
water and utilities by the Engineering Division.

Charleswood 4th Addition Final Plat Approval
DATE:
January 9,2001
INTRODUCTION
Newland Communities is seeking final plat approval for Charleswood 4th Addition. The 4th
Addition consists of98 single-family platted lots. This plat is a continuation of the single-family
portion of the Charleswood Planned Unit Development.
DISCUSSION
Newland Communities is seeking Final Plat approval of 98 single~family lots within the
Charleswood 4th Addition; the plat is a continuation of the single-family development located to
the north and is apart of the Charleswood Planned Unit Development. The developer phased the
preliminary plat of the 3rd Addition into two phases. The Preliminary Plat was approved by the
Planning Commission on March 14,2000.
Lot Layout/Design & Setbacks
Lots are arranged in similar fashion to the previous additions, with minimum required lot size at
10,000 square feet. Minimum lot widths at the setback are 75 feet. The layout and design
follows what was approved for the Preliminary Plat. Minimum front yard setbacks are proposed
at 25-feet along all lots except for those that will front upon 200th Street due mainly to the
wetland complex to the south. Staff and the developer agreed to have the same setbacks on both
side of 200th Street for aesthetic purposes. Twenty-foot setbacks exist within the 151 Addition of
Charleswood, the developer later changed to a 25-foot setback within the 2nd and 3rd Additions.
Road Layout/Design - Stub Street to Nordseth Property
The road layout within the 4th Addition follows that of the approved Planned Unit Development
and Preliminary Plat. The labeling of southern east/west road as 203rd Street is incorrect on the
plat and will need to be changed to 200th Street.
Everhill Ave will extend from the 3rd Addition and connect with 200th Street. Export Trail also
will extend from the 3rd Addition to Excelsior Lane, which feeds down to the 200th Street, which
is a minor collector.
City staff and the developer have been in discussion over the options available for a stub street to
serve and access the Nordseth property to the west. Currently the alignment of 200th Street
curves downward and into the Donnelly property, a property which is not anticipated to develop
for at least eight years because it is in the Agriculture Preserve program.
The request for the additional stub street came when the school district eliminated the Nordseth
property from consideration for a future school facility and became evident that an additional
access would be needed for ingress/egress purposes, other than 195th Street.
A condition of Final Plat approval will require that an easement is provided or other right to
construct a street access to the west upon Lot 14, Block 2 of the 3rd Addition. The Development
Contract will contain a provision releasing the City's interest in this street (or over the parcel) if
or when 200th Street or other suitable east-west access is provided to the adjacent property.
Landscape Plan
The landscape plan for the 4th Addition meets the guidelines and requirements followed in Title
10-6-14: Landscaping except for the proposed Sugar Maple species is not accepted as a boulevard
tree. Staff recommends that the developer substitute another maple species for the suggested
Sugar Maple and resubmit the landscaping plan for the 4th Addition.
Parks, Trails & Sidewalks
Park land has been set aside within the 3rd Addition and is currently identified as an outlot.
Additional park space will be provided and later dedicated during future platting of the
Charleswood development.
Trails have been constructed along the eastern edge of the single-family development leading into
the park area. The trail will eventually connect to the future trail constructed along Pilot Knob
Road. Sidewalks are planned along the east side of Everhill Ave., a trail is also planned along the
north side of200th Street West.
Wetlands
Wetlands are found on both the east and south side of the development. According to the
Wetlands and Waterbody Classification map, the wetland on the east has been categorized as a
Manage 2 and requires an average buffer area of 25 feet (minimum of 20 foot buffer) and
structure setback of 10 feet. The wetland located to the south is classified as Manage 1, requiring
an average buffer of 50 feet (minimum 30-foot buffer) and a structure setback of 10 feet.
The wetland and ponding areas are shown in outlots 'B' & 'c' of the plat. The Manage 1 wetland
south of the park and north of 200th Street will be outloted likely during the platting of the multi-
family.
Engineering Comments
Attached are the engineering review comments from City Engineering staff that were forwarded
to the developer's engineer. Staff feels most of these issues can be resolved before City Council
approval, and all must be resolved before a Development Agreement is signed.
2
ACTION REOUESTED
Approve the Charleswood 4th Addition Final Plat and forward the Final Plat and resolution to the
City Council contingent upon:
1) The developer submit an easement agreement acceptable to the City to provide street and
utility access to the Nordseth property across Lot 14, Block 1;
2) Amend the Landscape plan substituting the Sugar Maples with another species accepted in
Title 10-6-14 (G);
3) Correct the street name from 203rd Street W. to 200th Street W.;
4) Engineering review and approval offinal construction plans;
5) Execution of the Development Contract.

Consider Resolution - Middle Creek Final Plat
DATE:
February 5, 2001
INTRODUCTION
D R Horton and Arcon Development Inc. jointly propose to plat 87 single-family lots and 11
outlots in the first phase of Middle Creek. The 87 lots are located east of Pilot Knob Road and
west of the Northern Natural Gas easement and are part of the 143 single-family lots proposed
for the entire development.
DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval to the City Council for the
Middle Creek Final Plat on January 9,2001. The final plat corresponds with the preliminary plat
approved by the Planning Commission on August 8, 2000 and by the City Council on August 21,
2000. The Developers propose the following lot acreages:
Block 1
Block 2
Block 3
Block 4
Block 5
Total Lot Area
Total Outlot Area
Total Right-of-way
Total Area
Transportation
5.1374 acres
4.4883 acres
2.1839 acres
1 0.4664 acres
7.3214 acres
29.5975 acres
176.4705 acres
13.7772 acres
219.8452 acres
The final plat shows two accesses from the property. The first access is 203rd Street to the west
that intersects with Pilot Knob Road and is proposed with a 70-foot right-of-way and 40-foot
roadway measured from the back of curb to the back of curb. This roadway is shown as a future
east/west minor collector on the 2020 Thoroughfare Plan. 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 second access connects to the north through the proposed Vermillion Grove development.
This access is also considered a north/south minor collector running the length of the site with a
jog along 203rd Street in the northeastern portion of the site. This roadway is also proposed with
a 70-foot right-of-way width with a 40-foot roadway measured from the back of curb to the back
of curb.
The Dakota County Plat Commission reviewed the final plat on November 20, 2000 and
approved the plan after discussions with staff and the Developer concerning the interconnectivity
of the north-south collector (see attached). Additionally, the plat meets the County's Access
Spacing Guideline for public streets with 203rd Street and 20Sth (206th Street) meeting the
guideline for full intersection locations.
The attached memo from Shelly Johnson addresses the future 203rd Street connection with Pine
Knoll. He states that the proposed 87 single-family lots in the first phase "can operate with
access to CSAH 31 and does not require other access." As illustrated on the plan, any platting
east of the Northern Natural Gas pipeline easement would require the connection of203rd Street
be constructed.
Future Platting
The Developer has agreed to plat a SO-foot wide outlot along the entire west side of the DNR
protect wetland in a future phase of Middle Creek. The Developer will also dedicate an
additional 2S-foot wide conservation easement next to the outlot in order to protect the
vegetative buffer along the wetland. This area will total to a 7S-foot wide protection area and
assist in meeting the City Council's goals of managing the City's unique land and water
resources. Therefore, the outlot and easement will be platted in a future phase of the
development.
Parks & Trails
The Parks & Recreation Commission have requested that a park be provided in the southern
portion of the project. The Developer proposes to locate the park in the south central section of
Outlot E in a later phase of Middle Creek.
A second park will be located in the northern portion of the property on the peninsula between
the two wetlands and will be jointly shared by Vermillion Grove to the north. This park is
approximately 2 acres in size and has been recommended by the Parks & Recreation
Commission.
Trails will be provided in future phases of the development.
Engineering Review
The Engineering Division has reviewed the Middle Creek Final Plat and recommends approval
of the plat contingent on minor revisions to the plat.

ACTION REQUESTED
Consider adoption of the resolution approving the Middle Creek Final Plat contingent on
Engineering comments and the execution of a Development Contract.

RE:
Middle Creek - Roadway Phasing
Project No. 141-99-112
Pursuant to your request, we have analyzed the roadway phasing for Middle Creek (formerly
Murphy Farm). The attached schematic P.U.D. plan shows, as Phase I, the area which you have
indicated will be Phase I for Middle Creek. It must be noted that the schematic that is attached
has probably been changed since its submission date of 1-21-00, but I think the general patterns
are still relevant.
It appears as though Phase I will contain 87 single-family units. This can operate with access to
CSAH 31 and does not require other access. We don't know what the next phase is, but on the
attached sketch, if Phase II is that area north and south of extended 203rd, then we recommend
the 203rd Street connection be made with Phase II construction. Access to the north, to
Vermillion Grove, can be made when the Vermillion Grove connection is ready, whether that be
Phase I or II of Middle Creek.

Re:

MIDDLE CREEK
The Dakota County Plat Commission met on November 20, 2000, to consider the final plat of
MIDDLE CREEK. Said plat is adjacent to CSAH 31, and is therefore, subject to the Dakota
County Contiguous Plat Ordinance.
Lee Smick and Larry Frank meet with the Plat Commission to address concerns raised during the
review of the preliminary plat concerning the interconnectivity of local streets to minimize access
to the County Highway system and a north-south collector street as called for in the City's 2020
Thoroughfare Plan. An overview of the development area between CSAH 31 and Akin Road
south of 1951h Street was presented that showed the plans for a north-south collector street. This
plan was acceptable to the Plat Commission.
The plat meets the County's Right of Way Guideline of 75 feet of half right of way for a four-lane
divided highway.
The plat meets the County's Access Spacing Guideline for public streets with 203rd Street and
205lh Street meeting the guideline for full intersection locations.
The Plat Commission will recommend approval to the Board of Commissioners when the plat is
submitted in its final form.
Traffic volumes on CSAH 31 were 3,150 in 1999 and are anticipated to be 9,000 ADT by the year
2020. These traffic volumes indicate that current Minnesota noise standards for residential units
could be exceeded for the proposed plat. Residential developments along County highways
commonly result in noise complaints. In order for noise levels from the highway to meet
acceptable levels for adjacent residential units, substantial building setbacks, buffer areas, and
other noise mitigation elements should be incorporated into this development.
No work shall commence in the County right of way until a permit is obtained from the County
Highway Department and no permit will be issued until the plat has been filed with the County
Recorder's Office. The Plat Commission does not review or approve actual engineering design of
proposed accesses or other improvements to be made in the right of way. The Plat Commission
highly recommends early contact with the Highway Department to discuss design features of any
construction in public right of way. The County Highway Department permit process reviews the
design and may require construction of highway improvements, including, but not limited to, turn
lanes, drainage features, limitations on intersecting street widths, allowance and size of medians,
etc.

Consider Resolution - Middle Creek 2nd Addition Final Plat
DATE:
February 5, 2001
INTRODUCTION
D R Horton and Arcon Development Inc. jointly propose to plat 66 townhome units on one block
and plat one outlot within the Middle Creek 2nd Addition. The 66 townhome lots are located
directly east of Pilot Knob Road and west of the 87 single-family lots proposed to be platted in
the first phase of Middle Creek. The 66-townhome units are part of the 278 townhome units
proposed for the project.
DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval to the City Council for the
Middle Creek Final Plat on January 9,2001. The final plat corresponds with the preliminary plat
approved by the Planning Commissi2n on August 8, 2000 and by the City Council on August 21,
2000. The Developers propose the following lot acreages:
Total Lot Area =
Total Outlot Area =
Total Right-of-Way
Total Area =
8.7622 acres
0.0103 acres
0.4999 acres
9.2577 acres
Transportation
The final plat shows one access. The access is 206th Street that intersects with Pilot Knob Road
to the west and is proposed with a 60-foot right-of-way and 34-foot roadway measured from the
back of curb to the back of curb. This roadway is shown as a future east/west minor collector on
the 2020 Thoroughfare Plan. 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 roadway will be constructed to the plat's easterly line to allow access to Pilot Knob Road
from the private drives to the north. The 500-foot long cul-de-sac measured at 30 feet from back
of curb to back of curb is a private drive and will be maintained by the homeowners association.
An emergency access (sod over class five) is proposed near unit 62 on the plat because it exceeds
the length of 150 feet for emergency access turnaround.
The Dakota County Plat Commission reviewed the final plat on December 4, 2000 and
recommended approval of the plan (see attached).
Parks & Trails
The Parks & Recreation Commission have requested that a park be provided in the southern
portion of the project near the townhomes. The Developer proposes to locate the park in the
south central section of Outlot E.
Trails will be provided in future phases ofthe development.
Landscape Plan Review
Staff has reviewed the landscape plan and the following issues need to be addressed:
1. Bur Oak is currently listed as an acceptable street tree, however, because of its nature to drop
acorns, this causes a hazard on roadways. Therefore, the City is planning on removing the
Bur Oak from the acceptable street tree list along with English Oak during the Zoning Code
Update. Please substitute the Bur Oak on the Landscape Plan for Northern Red Oak or
Swamp White Oak.
2. Landscaping along the westerly side of the private cul-de-sac is recommended to buffer the
townhomes from CSAH 31.
Engineering Review
The Engineering Division has reviewed the Middle Creek 2nd Addition Final Plat and
recommends approval contingent on minor revisions to the plat.
ACTION REQUESTED
Consider adoption of the resolution approving the Middle Creek 2nd Addition Final Plat
contingent on the above landscape and Engineering comments and the execution of a
Development Contract.

Consider Resolution - Tamarack Ridge 3rd Addition Final Plat
FROM:
SUBJECT:
DATE:
February 5, 2001
INTRODUCTION
James Development Company is seeking Final Plat approval for Tamarack Ridge 3rd
Addition, which consists of 7 lots on approximately 6.8 acres located east of Trunk
Highway 3 and south of County Road 66 and is adjacent to the first phase of the Centex
townhomes. The plat will contain 64 multi-family townhome units.
DISCUSSION
The Tamarack Ridge Preliminary Plat was approved by the Planning Commission on
May 9, 2000 and by the City Council on May 15, 2000. The Planning Commission
forwarded a recommendation to approve the Final Plat on January 9, 2001. No major
changes have been made to the final plat since the preliminary plat was approved. This
plat will complete the townhome portion of the Tamarack development; when complete a
total of 134 townhome units will exist.
Streets/Roadways
This development is part of a homeowner's association and all roadways proposed are
private. The through street consists of a 50-foot wide right-of-way and a 28-foot wide
pavement. The driveways to the buildings consist of 30-foot wide private rights-of-way
with a 22- foot wide pavement.
Sidewalks/Trails
No sidewalks are planned through the townhome portion of the development. A trail is
planned along the north side of 208th Street W. leading around on Cantata Ave. to the
future park, the path will continue along the north side of 209th Street to the future
commercial area along Trunk Highway 3.
Park
No park dedication is required as part of this plat, a 3+ acre park was dedicated during the
platting of the 15t Addition of Tamarack Ridge.
Landscaping
The developer proposes landscaping along all of the private roadways, around the
ponding areas and as a buffer between the townhomes and future single-family.
Boulevard trees are also proposed along the north sides of 20Sth and 209th Streets and
along the west side of Cantata Ave.
Engineering Comments
The construction of 20Sth and 209th Streets will begin sometime this spring and be
completed by mid-summer (weather permitting). A neighborhood meeting concerning
the future assessments for the roadway will need to be rescheduled due to the canceled
meeting on January 29, 2001. All other major engineering issues have been resolved.
ACTION REOUESTED
Approve the Tamarack Ridge 3rd Addition Final Plat and forward the recommendation
onto the City Council contingent upon the following:
1. The Final Plat approval is contingent on the preparation and execution of the
Development Contract and approval of the construction plans for grading, storm
water and utilities by the Engineering Division.

Consider Resolution - Vermillion Grove Final Plat
DATE:
February 5, 2001
INTRODUCTION
Rottlund Homes has submitted the Final Plat for the first phase of Vermillion Grove. The final
plat consists of 49 single-family lots platted on 27.4 acres, 60 villa townhome units platted on 8.1
acres, 16 gardens on 2.1 acres and 41 garden townhomes on 11.1 acres. The overall density is
4.7 units/acre.
DISCUSSION
Rottlund Homes proposes to develop approximately 122.5 acres of land in the southeast quadrant
of the intersection ofCSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road) and CR 64 (195th Street West) as a single and
multi-family development. The plat comprises a total lot area of 35.5 acres, 75.3 acres for the
outlot area and 11.7 acres of total right-of-way. The development in its final build-out phase will
consist of 94 detached residential units and 283 attached residential units.
The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval to the City Council for the
Vermillion Grove Final Plat on January 23, 2001. The preliminary plat was approved by the
City Council on July 17,2000 and this proposed final plat corresponds to that plat.
Transportation
The Developer proposes two accesses from the property. One access will be available to Pilot
Knob Road on the west and a second access to 195th Street on the north. A third access to the
south will be available when roadway construction is completed in Middle Creek. A fourth
access will eventually be available to the east connecting with Akin Road in a future plat. The
Developer proposes both public and private streets. A homeowners association will maintain the
private streets.
Turn lanes should be provided along CSAH 31 and CR 64 at the street intersections in order to
provide safety and additional capacity.
The westerly access to Pilot Knob Road will be a shared access with the City property to the
north of the roadway. Most of the 70-foot right-of-way is proposed on the City's Central
Maintenance Facility property. The roadway width measured from back of curb to back of curb
is 40 feet.
The northerly access is shown as a 70-foot right-of-way with a roadway width of 40 feet
measured from the back of curb to back of curb and provides a north/south transportation
corridor through the development. The proposed roadway will also provide a shared access with
the City property to the west. This roadway is considered a public street and will be maintained
by the City of Farmington. The City is negotiating a cost share agreement with Rottlund Homes
for the construction of both this roadway as well as the roadway along the southern border of the
City's property.
The southerly access will connect through the Middle Creek subdivision to the south of
Vermillion Grove. This access will rely on the construction of the roadway in the Middle Creek
project.
The easterly access that is not a part of the first phase of this plat is shown as a 60-foot right-of-
way with a roadway width of 34 feet measured from the back of curb to back of curb that is
proposed to connect to Akin Road. The road connection to Akin Road is imperative to the
subdivision's circulation patterns by maximizing ingress/egress options for emergency vehicles
and reduces the overload of anyone connection thus causing traffic-related concerns on that one
connection. The City's Transportation Engineer, Shelly Johnson, has submitted a memo dated
October 25,2000 explaining the need for this easterly access to Akin Road (see attached). Mr.
Johnson has also submitted a follow-up memo dated November 20, 2000 reviewing the traffic
circulation patterns for the Vermillion Grove Final Plat. The memo states that Phase I and II as
shown on the attached map can be sufficiently handled by the north/south collector and the
westerly access to Pilot Knob Road. The easterly access to Akin Road will be required when the
single- family area to the east of Phase I is developed.
The Developer is in the process of performing a land swap with the owner on the south side of
the proposed easterly roadway. However, the Developer is required to file a Wetland Alteration
Permit to mitigate disturbed wetlands in this area in order to receive approval for the access. The
access is proposed to be relocated to the south of the original location on the Pettis property,
therefore the Developer has gained an additional 150 feet of sight distance and proposes the road
along a straight-away rather than at the end of a curved road. This access will mainly
accommodate vehicles traveling south on Akin Road into the subdivision and north on Akin
Road, leaving the subdivision. The developer will be required to provide a right-turn lane and a
bypass lane on Akin Road.
The Developer has prepared a trip generation analysis for the development. In total, the
Vermillion Grove development is expected to generate 2,500 average daily trips with the
proposed 377 housing units. The trip generation model anticipates approximately 60% of site
traffic will be distributed to the north on Pilot Knob Road (from the site via Pilot Knob Road and
Akin Road) and approximately 20% will be distributed to the west via 195th Street. The
remaining trips will be distributed to the south.
2
Roadways associated with the villas and gardens will be private streets and will be maintained by
a homeowners association. The widths of these roadways include 30-foot, 24-foot and 22-foot
all measured from the back of curb to back of curb.
Water
Water service will be provided to the site via the trunk water main that was installed along
CSAH 31 during the 2000 construction season. The trunk water main will be routed through the
site in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Water supply and Distribution Plan and two
future water supply wells will be sited within the project.
Sanitary Sewer
At the January 23,2001 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission recommended that a lift
station is the preferred alternative to providing sanitary sewer service to the Vermillion Grove
Development. Mr. Lee Mann, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, provided a memo to the
Planning Commission dated January 23, 2001 concerning the routing of sanitary sewer to the
project and proposed three options.
The three options to route the sewer system through the Vermillion Grove Development were
reviewed by the Commission. The first option routed a gravity sewer line through the streets of
the subdivision. As Mr. Mann's memo states, there are varying degrees of problems associated
with this option.
The second option routed a gravity sewer line behind the homes in the wetland buffer along the
DNR protected wetland (in Middle Creek Estates as well as Vermillion Grove). The designation
of this alignment for the gravity sewer system is a result of the existing topography of the site.
This option would necessitate the removal of a significant corridor of trees along the DNR
wetland and would require extensive retaining walls to be installed to allow for maintenance
access to the sewer line. A variance from the City's wetland ordinance regarding grading in the
buffer area would also be required.
The third option would involve installing a permanent lift station that would be located at the
northwest corner of the DNR wetland. The lift station would be equipped with back-up power in
case of power outages. This option would eliminate the need to remove the corridor of trees and
install extensive retaining walls along the DNR protected wetland.
Upon review of the three options, the Planning Commission recommends that the permanent lift
station be approved by the City Council, based on review and consideration of all the issues,
environmental and operational.
In accordance with the City's Wetland Ordinance and the 2020 Comprehensive Plan's stated
goal to "manage the City's unique land and water resources, and thus, raise the City's quality of
life", staff will be recommending the lift station option to the City Council. As a condition of lift
station installation, the Developer has agreed to plat a 50-foot wide outlot along the entire west
side of the DNR protect wetland. The Developer will also dedicate an additional 25-foot wide
conservation easement next to the outlot in order to protect the vegetative buffer along the
wetland. This area will provide a 75-foot wide protection area and assist in meeting the City
Council's goals of managing the City's unique land and water resources.

Parks & Recreation
The Parks & Recreation Commission has approved a park location on the peninsula between the
wetland areas. A playground structure is proposed for this area.
The Developer proposes a sidewalk along the east side of the north/south collector street to allow
access to Akin Elementary School to the north and thereby reducing the number of students
needed to be bussed to the school. A sidewalk is also proposed on the north side of the east/west
roadway connecting with Akin Road and on the south side of the roadway adjacent to the City's
property. A trail system is proposed on the north side of the DNR protect wetland that will lead
pedestrians to the peninsula.
Engineering Review
The Engineering Division has reviewed the Vermillion Grove Final Plat and recommends
approval of the plat contingent on minor revisions to the plat.
ACTION REQUESTED
Consider adoption of the resolution approving the Vermillion Grove Final Plat contingent upon
Engineering comments and the execution of a Development Contract.

RE:
Vermillion Grove Development Access to Akin Road
Our File No. 141-99-114
The developers of the Vermillion Grove development (see attached concept plan) are having
difficulty obtaining the needed right-of-way for the connection of Street B to Akin Road. The
question has been posed: Is the Street B connection to Akin Road needed? The following
provides the response from a traffic/transportation point of view.
The concept plan that is attached illustrates the Vermillion Grove development and a part of the
Murphy Farm development located adjacent to the south side of Vermillion Grove. These
combined developments will generate in excess of 7,000 daily vehicle trips. The roadway plans
have been developed to allow vehicular traffic the option of moving east-west and north-south to
connect to the adjacent roadways serving this area. These options have been developed in order
not to overload anyone connection thus causing traffic-related concerns on that connection. The
roadway plan, as developed, also maximizes ingress/egress for emergency vehicles thus reducing
response times to various parts of the future development.
The west side of the development is bordered by CSAH 31, which is a minor arterial roadway on
the city thoroughfare plan. The east side of the development is bordered in part by Akin Road,
which is a major collector roadway. The future Murphy Farm development contains an
extension of203rd Street, which is designated as a minor collector on the thoroughfare plan.
There is also a north-south minor collector that penetrates both Vermillion Grove and Murphy
Farm's development. The north side of Vermillion Grove is bordered by 195th Street, a minor
arterial.
The function that will be played by Street B is to provide access to Akin Road for that part of the
residential development located in the northeast part of Vermillion Grove. Without that access,
traffic from the northeast part of the development will have to utilize the future north-south
roadway to travel to 195th, 203rd, or to CSAH 31. This will create additional driving time caused
by this misdirection of travel. The connection of Street B will play an important role in the
overall traffic distribution for the proposed developments. If a Street B connection were not
David L. Olson
Page 20f2
October 25, 2000
provided, this would not cause any significant decrease in site-generated volumes on Akin Road.
Those volumes,will be on Akin Road with or without the connection, but will have a more direct
access to the northeast part of the development with the connection.
It is my recommendation that the Street B connection to Akin Road be retained on the plan in
order to balance traffic loads, reduce internal street use for access to external arterial/collectors,
and to provide better emergency vehicle service to the northeast part of the development.

RE:
Vermillion Grove Roadway Phasing
Project No. 141-99-114
Pursuant to your request, we have reviewed the phasing requirements for roadways in the
Vermillion Grove development. Based upon the materials you provided to us, it appears as
though Phase I consists of three subareas (see attached sketch) which we have labeled as Phase 1.
The roadways for Phase I are noted in green. Phase II could be the multi-family area to the north
of the site or it could be the single-family area on the east. If Phase II is the multi-family area,
then the Phase I roadways are sufficient to handle the Phase I and II volumes.
The 'Street B' connection to Akin Road will be required when the single-family area to the east
is developed. It is assumed that the north-south connection to the Middle Creek developme'nt is
made in Phase I, or as soon as it is available.

FROM: Lee M. Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Vermillion Grove - Sanitary Sewer Service Issues
DATE: January 23, 2001
As requested, following is the discussion and rationale regarding the staff recommendation for a
proposed permanent lift station for the Vermillion Grove Development.
Based on the project's topography and the location ofthe trunk sanitary sewer line, the sanitary sewer
for the Vermillion Grove Development will be routed from the north to the south, southerly through
the Middle Creek Estates Development, to the existing Middle Creek Trunk sanitary sewer. Several
options to route the sewer system to the south were reviewed by staff.
SEWER SERVICE OPTIONS
Option 1
Staff worked with the developer extensively to identify the possibilities for routing a gravity sewer
line through the streets of the subdivision, as per usual City practice. However, due to the
topography of the site, it became evident that routing the sewer through the streets would result in
sewer pipes with depths of up to 50-feet. This situation is highly undesirable due to the cost and
difficulty of maintaining the sewer line and the ramifications to the correction of future problems. If
the sewer ever needed to be excavated for repair, the trench needed to access the sewer line would be
excessively wide. The entire street in the area would need to be removed and significant areas of
front yards and driveways would be impacted.
Option 2
Routing a gravity sewer line behind the homes in the wetland buffer along the DNR protected
wetland (in Middle Creek Estates as well as Vermillion Grove) was also studied. This option would
allow the sanitary sewer line to be installed at reasonable depths. However, installation of the sewer
line along this alignment would necessitate the removal of a significant corridor of trees along the
DNR wetland, leading to significant degradation of the natural environment and wetland. In addition,
a 12- foot wide roadway and extensive retaining walls would be needed to provide the necessary
maintenance access to the sewer line. A variance from the City's wetland ordinance would also be
required since construction activity would be occurring in the wetland buffer.
Option 3
The final option studied would involve installing a permanent lift station that would be located near
the northwest comer of the DNR wetland. The lift station proposed would be a duplex (two-pump),
submersible pump type lift station with fully automatic controls integrated with the City's newly
installed SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system. The SCADA system is a
computerized system that controls, monitors, records data and provides the alarms for the City's
water and sewer systems mechanical components. The lift station would be equipped with a back-up
power generator to allow operation during 'power outages. Additionally, the elevation of the lift
station would be designed such that, in the extreme case that all other systems were to fail, the top
hatch elevation of the lift station would be lower than the lowest basement of any the homes that are
connected to the lift station. In other words, in the most extreme case, sewage would flow out of the
top of the hatch of the lift station before it would back up into the homes that flow to it.
STAFF ANAL YSIS/CONSIDERA TIONS
Several considerations were taken into account during staff's determination of the recommendation
regarding this issue. Installing the sewer line 50-feet deep in areas was not considered an option for
the reasons outlined above. The lift station option was considered because of concerns over the
environmental impact the gravity sewer line would have along the wetland. The City's wetland
ordinance and the 2020 comprehensive Plan's states that it is a goal of the City to "manage the City's
unique land and water resources, and thus, raise the City's quality of life". The removal of the trees
and the need for the roadway and retaining walls along the wetland with the corresponding
maintenance requirements makes it clear that running the sewer line along the wetland is not an ideal
solution.
Staff also considered the City's goal of eliminating as many of the existing lift stations as possible
and not constructing new lift stations. This goal has been discussed generally in the context of the
potential for sewer back -ups that lift stations can present was well as the on-going maintenance
required of the City's more aged stations. The sewer back-up potential is a significant issue with the
City's older lift stations. The design of the stations in the southern area of the City do not incorporate
the same level of safety factor that would be included in the Vermillion Grove lift station. The design
of the lift station in Vermillion Grove as indicated above, brings the level of risk for a sewer back-up
close to the same as for a gravity line. It should be noted that gravity sewer lines also are susceptible
to back-ups.
In addition, replacing some of the older lift stations will mean significant expenditures. The "can"
style of lift station requires total replacement of the lift station at the time the "can" part finally
corrodes to the point functionality of the lift station is impaired. The cost to replace this style of lift
station is approximately $250,000. Thus, the reasoning behind the goal of eliminating this style lift
station is related to both economics and back-up potential. In contrast, the submersible pump style
lift station that is proposed for Vermillion Grove is more economical to maintain, replace and the
design of the lift station significantly reduces the back-up potential compared to the designs of the
City's other lift stations.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on review and consideration of all the issues, environmental and operational, staff concluded
that the proposed lift station for Vermillion Grove is recommended. The positive environmental
aspects (i.e. preserving the natural environment along the wetland) along with the level of safety
provided by the design and modem technology of the lift station indicates that the lift station is the
prefen;ed alternative to provide sanitary sewer service to the Vermillion Grove Development.

SUBJECT: Petitions for Annexation
DATE: February 5, 2001
INTRODUCTION
The City has received annexation petitions from four property owners that wish to annex
property that abuts the City of Farmington.
DISCUSSION
The City has received annexation petitions for three properties in Empire Township and
one property located in Eureka Township. Several of these properties had previously
made application for annexation however were placed on hold pending the outcome of
the City's Comprehensive Plan approval as well as determination as to the time and
process by which the next MUSA expansion would occur.
Two of the properties in Empire Township are located on the east side of the Prairie
Waterway just east of East Farmington and Bristol Square. As indicated on the attached
map, these properties are owned by Mike and Eileen Devney and Lawrence Rother and
are each seeking to annex 60 acres at this time. The third property in Empire Township is
located east of the Finnegan property (formerly the Reisinger property) and immediately
south of the Seed-Genstar orderly annexation area. As shown on the attached map the
portion of this property being proposed for annexation at this time contains 60 acres.
The above three properties can be annexed by ordinance after a 30 day certified mail
notice has been provided to the Township and abutting property owners and a public
hearing is held by the City Council.
The fourth property for which an annexation petition has been filed is the 150.96 acre
parcel located in Eureka Township at the southwest comer of Denmark Avenue and Ash
Street (220th Street). Since this property contains more than 60 acres, the petition would
need to be forwarded to the State of Minnesota Office of Strategic and Long Range
Planning (formerly the Minnesota Municipal Board). Eureka Township would have 90
days to file an objection. If an objection is filed, a contested case hearing would be
required to be held by an Administrative Law Judge if the City wished to continue to
pursue the annexation.
ACTION REOUESTED
1. If the Council wishes to proceed with processing any or all of the Annexation
Petitions for the three 60 acre properties in Empire Township, it should authorize the
scheduling of a public hearing and the 30 day notification to Empire Township and
abutting property owners.
2. If the Council wishes to proceed with processing the Annexation Petition for the
150.96 acre parcel in Eureka Township, it should authorize the 90 day notification
process. After which the Council could determine whether it wished to proceed with
the petition.

Dear Mr. Erar;
Charter Communications has elected to make an annual adjustment to our rates. While
cable franchises are regulated at the local level, rates are suggested at the corporate level
and set in accordance with FCC rules. This year's adjustment goes into effect March L
2001 and is the result of our ever increasing operating costs, programming and equipment
costs, as well as our investments in new technology. The new rates will be adjusted by
the following:
Broadcast Basic
Expanded Basic

We have taken great strides this past year to improve our overall cable service including
programming, customer service and system reliability. We strive to provide service and
programming whose value is consistent with our rates. We continue to support our "On
Time Guarantee" program which pledges that if we miss a service call or installation-
it's free, and our customer service representatives continue to train and utilize a new
program call CONNECT! We have also provided every single employee training in our
WOW (Wiring our World) program which enables our employees to grasp the Wired
World vision of our leader, Mr, Paul Allen. We are also very proud that Charter
Communications has received the Seal of Customer Service Excellence from the NCTA
and are now recognized as one of the top service providers in our industry.

We are also providing the newest technology in all of our local system communities,
which enables our customers access to digital cable television, cable modems and
extended viewing options that compare or exceed the value provided by most of our
competitors. Weare launching 4 new channels, beginning March 1, 2001, which will be
Odyssey, The Health Network, SoapNet and Style. We are also realigning the channels
to put "like" or genre channels together. This will not be a popular change initially, but in
the long run, it makes surfing and channel selection easier for the end user.
As competition in telecommunications grows, we at Charter Communications understand
how important it is to offer our customers the best possible service at the best possible
price. However, like every other business, we are faced with increased operating costs,
which makes this adjustment necessary. Charter Communications still remains a very
valuable form of entertainment, news and movies and Internet options.
As you know, exciting new changes are taking place in our industry and Charter
Communications is proud to be on the edge of this convergence. We pledge to you our
commitment and service as we move in that direction.
Personally, I have appreciated working with you this past year and I look forward to
another enjoyable year. Should you have any questions or need any additional
information, pleases call me at (952) 432-2575 or my cell phone at (612) 817-6697.

SUBJECT: Consider ISD 192 Request - 190th Street Improvements
DATE: February 05, 2001
INTRODUCTION
ISD 192 has requested the preparation of a feasibility report for the extension of 190th Street to serve
the proposed new elementary school (see attached letter).
DISCUSSION
The extension of 190th Street from its current terminus east of the school site will provide an essential
ingress/egress route for the new school. As such, it is necessary that these improvements be made in
conjunction with the development of the new school.
190th Street between Akin Road and Flagstaff has been identified in the City's Transportation Plan as
an essential east-west collector street. It is designated as a Municipal State Aid route and as such, the
City's share of the project costs, if any, could be funded through the City's Municipal State Aid
account.
BUDGET IMPACT
Budget impacts for the project would be outlined in the feasibility report.
ACTION REQUESTED
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing the preparation of a feasibility report for the 190th Street
extension.

Attn: Lee Mann, P .E., Director of Public Works
Re: New K-5 Elementary School
Request for initiation of public improvements to 190th Street
Dear Mr. Mann:
This is to request that your staff, and the City's consultant as necessary, initiate and
complete the design and make all provisions for construction for the extension of 190th
Street west of it's current termination at Everest Path to Middle Creek. The project
should also include the extension of the trunk water main from it's current location at
Everglade Path and opportunities for combined storm water management facilities.
As you know, School District 192 is purchasing the property lying east of the creek for
the purpose of constructing an elementary school on the north half of the parcel and an
undetermined future use on the south. Therefore, coordination of the design will need to
occur concurrently with design development for the school parcel.
The current schedule for school design and construction has construction starting in late
spring with school occupancy in September of 2002.
The District will make the site topographic survey available to you to aid in completion
of your design. This includes a portion of the site west of the creek for a distance of 200
feet from the centerline, a distance of200 feet north of the projected centerline of 190th
Street adjacent to the school property, and the existing right-of-way of 190th Street east of
the school parcel. District staff and our AlE consultant, A TS&R, will be available to
assist you in coordinating the design.
"AN EQUAL OPPORTIJNJTY EMPLOYER"

We would like to receive an estimate of design and construction
administration/management costs to provide for proper budgeting of this portion of the
project.

SUBJECT: Schedule Council Workshop - Traffic Safety Committee
DATE: February 5,2001
INTRODUCTION
At the 2000 Council Goal-Setting Workshop, Council authorized the creation of a Traffic Safety
Committee (TSC) to review and respond to public requests for additional traffic safety control
devices. As part of this process, Council directed staff to develop a proposed structure for the
TSC, along with draft guidelines that would support the Council's TSC goal.
DISCUSSION
Staff has reached a point in the process where Council input is needed to facilitate the creation of
the TSC, and finalize proposed committee guidelines. To more fully discuss and receive Council
comments on the proposed structure and draft guidelines for the Traffic Safety Committee, a
Council workshop is suggested to be held on Wednesday, February 21, 2001 at 7:00 p.m.
Information will be made available to Council in advance of the Workshop to facilitate a more
efficient discussion of the proposed TSC.

TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: John F. Erar, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Consider Settlement Terms - Progress Land Company Litigation
DATE: February 5, 2001
INTRODUCTION
. The City has received final legal documents detailing the terms and conditions of settlement with
Progress Land Company.
DISCUSSION
Two firms have been representing the City in these two separate, but interrelated legal actions
and will be in attendance at this evening's Council meeting.
Mr. James Golembeck, representing the law firm of Jardine, Logan and O'Brien, defended the
City against claims made by Progress Land Company. As indicated in the Stipulation and
Agreement to Dismiss with Prejudice, all substantial claims and complaints brought against the
City by Progress Land Company were dismissed (attached). Moreover, the City will pay no
legal fees to the plaintiff's attorneys, will be indemnified for any claims, past, present and future,
for the retaining wall in question (Indemnification Agreement attached) and will receive payment
for previously unpaid engineering costs associated with past project development. With respect
to the additional credit for the construction of Lake Julia, the City had always maintained
receptivity for additional developer credit upon evidence submitted to the City by the developer.
Finally, all outstanding punch list items will be completed by the developer as soon as
practicable.
In the second related action, City Attorney Joel Jamnik, representing the law firm of Campbell,
Knutson P.A., brought action against Progress Land Company on behalf of the City to recover
costs primarily associated with the reconstruction of storm sewer infrastructure in the Prairie
Creek subdivision. As indicated in the Stipulation of Settlement (Counterclaim), the developer
agreed to reimburse the City for a substantial portion of project costs, with applicable interest
(attached).
The successful conclusion of these two legal actions point to the fact that the City Council
exercised appropriate leadership in taking a position against the developer's claims, and in
pursuing a counterclaim leading to the successful recovery of a substantial amount of past project
expenditures. Similarly, attorneys from the League of MN Cities Insurance Trust, the City
Attorney's Office, and City staff that participated in the legal proceedings should be recognized
and commended for their invaluable insistence in this process.
BUDGET IMPACT
Recovery of engineering fees and project costs as specified will be credited to appropriate City
funding sources.
ACTION REOUESTED
Consider approval of the settlement terms and conditions as outlined in the attached agreement
stipulations.

TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: John F. Erar, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Akin Road Turnback Project - Executive Summary
DATE: February 5,2001
INTRODUCTION
The proposed reconstruction of Akin Road has been identified by Council as a 2001 Public
Improvement Project.. To date, the City has held two neighborhood meetings with residents and
completed a feasibility report outlining various improvement options. The purpose of discussing
these proposed recommendations at this time is to receive final direction from Council regarding
the desired project options.
DISCUSSION
In review of the City Engineer's project recommendations, staff has estimated that preliminary
special assessments will total approximately $332.26 per household equivalent (HHE) for
recommended Akin Road improvements. This compares very favorably to $392.56 per HHE for
properties that were assessed for CSAH 31 public improvements.
A breakdown of the specific project improvements as recommended are identified in detail in the
project attachments, but generally includes a bituminous overlay of Akin Road, the introduction
of additional turn lanes, improved street lighting, the construction of three trail segments, and the
replacement of storm sewer culverts. Other issues raised by residents will need to be addressed
separately such as speed limits, stop signs at 195th Street, school crossing zones, and a proposed
traffic light at 20gtll Street. These issues will need to be reviewed in conjunction with school
authorities, state agencies and would generally follow established City protocol in review of
resident traffic control requests.
Akin Road Proiect DiscussionlInformation Points
1. Akin Road is currently a County roadway, but is designated under the City's State Aid
System. Upon completion of a turnback agreement with Dakota County, Akin Road will
officially fall under the City's jurisdictional control. In anticipation of this event, Council
authorized the completion of a feasibility report. Two separate neighborhood meetings were
held with affected residents, whose input led to the completion of the feasibility report.
Council and staff have reviewed several project options, which are included in the
attachments of this staff report.
2. The approval by the City Council of recommended improvements would result in an
estimated project cost of $1,815,030. Recommended improvements to Akin Road are based
on the best judgement of City engineering staff, related citizen input, recognition of available
financial resources, the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan and Parks and Recreation Trail
Plan.
3. Under the City's special assessment policy, funding from non-municipal sources is first
applied against total project costs. The City will be receiving $267,000 from Dakota County,
which will be applied against street overlay and turn lane costs leaving approximately
$1,548,030 that will need to be funded by the City.
4. Of the $1,548,030 in remaining estimated project expenditures, the City will underwrite the
total cost of the Bridge Culvert improvements totaling $408,870 through a separate City
funding source leaving $1,139,160. Of this amount, 35% or $398,706 is proposed to be
assessed against benefiting properties, with the remaining 65% equaling $740,454 becoming
a City cost. The City will be issuing G.O. Improvement Bonds to underwrite approximately
$875,000 in project expenditures over a ten-year repayment period.
5. A one-time special assessment is estimated at $332.26 per household equivalent (HHE) in the
designated project area, with assessments on a per acre basis estimated at $930.31.
Assessments on undeveloped property would be deferred until development occurs.
6. The decision to upgrade Akin Road has been determined by the City in response to Council
direction and citizen input. These issues are in large measure driven by significant residential
growth and associated transportation needs in this area of the community. If significant
growth in this area of the community had not occurred, the enhancements to this portion of
roadway would not be necessary at this time.
7. Can the City show benefit? Resolving public safety, improving access, introducing additional
turn lanes, capacity, and addressing related citizen concerns are all real benefits resulting
from the improvement of the roadway. Preliminary information received by the City from a
certified appraiser suggests that the City can show benefit equal to or greater than the
proposed assessments. Pursuant to State law, property owners have the legal right to
challenge these assessments. However, costs to defend any appeals would be added to the
project cost.
8. The City would propose to apply municipal state aid funds in the amount of $300,000 as a
down payment on the project and commit another $803,209 in MSA funds over 10 years to
satisfy debt service requirements. This will amount to a total City contribution of almost
$1.15 million for road overlay, lighting, trail and storm sewer improvements on Akin Road.
9. Proposed estimated Special Assessments of $332.26 are a one-time charge against developed
property. This is not an annual assessment, but a one-time cost for affected residents. If
special assessments are approved by Council, residents have the ability to prepay
assessments without interest during the first 30 days after formal adoption, or may have them
added to property tax statements. Annual payments with interest are estimated at $46.22 or
approximately $3.85 per month.
10. With respect to the recently completed CSAH 31 project, the City approached the funding of
that project through a combination of County funding, special assessments and municipal
state aid, similar to the funding scenario currently under review.
11. Other cities have used the same special assessment method that the City is contemplating on
Akin Road utilizing a project benefit area charge. The CSAH31 Project was successfully
assessed using the same methodology under present consideration.
12. If Akin Road improvements are not ordered this spring for reconstruction, the project will be
delayed until at least the year 2002 due to other City improvement projects, with costs
increasing at the rate of approximately five (5) percent per year.
ACTION REOUESTED
Council consideration of the following project planning issues is needed.
1. Determine whether the recommended project improvements meet with Council approval.
2. Determine the need for an additional neighborhood meeting to convey the recommended
project improvements to affected residents. Proposed date for a neighborhood meeting is
suggested on Wednesday, February 28, 2001 at the Farmington Senior High School in the
theatre room.
3. Adopt the attached resolution "Setting the Date for a Public Hearing on the Project" for
March 5, 2001 to consider the following actions:
. Receive final citizen input and review preliminary assessment roll
. Determine whether to order the Project
. Determine whether to authorize the Preparation of Plans and Specifications
. If the project is ordered, authorize Advertisement for Bids
4. Award Project Bid on May 7, 2001

SUBJECT: Consider Resolution - 2001 Seal Coat Project
DATE: February 5, 2001
INTRODUCTION
Attached is the Feasibility Report for the 2001 Seal Coat Project. The project consists of seal coating
specified residential streets.
DISCUSSION
The 2001 Seal Coat project is the eighth project in the City's seal coat program established by the
City of Farmington in 1994. The seal coat program is implemented in a seven-year cycle. The streets
indicated in Figure 1 and Attachment A are to be included in the seal coat program this year. The
streets in Pine Ridge Forest Addition, Nelson Hills Farm 6th Addition, Charleswood 1st Addition, and
Dallas Avenue from 208th Street to its northerly terminus are to be seal coated for the first time this
year. The streets of Hilldee Addition, Westview Acres, 208th Street from Akin Road to the east,
Spruce Street from 4th Street east to the frontage road of C.S.A.H. 501 T.H. 3, and 5th, 6th, and 7th
Streets for ~ block north and south of Spruce Street are scheduled to be seal coated this year as part
of the 7 year maintenance program.
BUDGET IMPACT
The 2001 Seal Coat Project is included in the 2001 Capital Improvement Plan. Several streets in the
project area have already been assessed seal coating costs through their respective development
contracts. The property owners benefiting from the improvements to the remaining streets would be
assessed for the project costs pursuant to Minnesota Statute 429 and the City's Special Assessment
Policy. The remainder of the costs would be funded through the Road and Bridge Fund.
The total estimated project cost for the 2001 Seal Coat project is $85,200. The City's special
assessment policy indicates a 50150 cost sharing split between the City and the benefiting properties
for seal coat improvements. The estimated assessment based on the estimated project costs and the
City's special assessment policy is $62.28 per residential equivalent unit.
ACTION REOUESTED
Adopt the attached resolution receiving the feasibility report, authorizing the preparation of plans and
specifications and scheduling a public hearing for March 5, 2001.
Respectfully submitted,

Introduction
This report has been prepared to determine the feasibility of seal coating City streets as planned
during 2001. See Figure 1 for the areas to be seal coated in 2001 and Attachment A for a list of
the individual streets to be included in this area.
The annual seal coating program, approved by Council in 1994, is implemented in a seven year
cycle in which assigned areas are seal coated each year (See Figure 2). The City requires new
streets to be seal coated approximately two to three years after the final bituminous wear surface
has been placed on the street. After the first seal coat application, it is intended that streets
would be seal coated every seven years. New streets within developments will continue to be
incorporated into the plan as they are added to the City's street system.
The purpose of seal coating is to improve the quality and extend the life of the City streets. Seal
coating delays the need for costly street reconstruction or other corrective work for which a
portion of the costs are assessed to the adjacent property owners.
The streets indicated in Figure 1 and Attachment A are to be included in the seal coat program
this year. The streets in Pine Ridge Forest Addition, Nelson Hills Farm 6th Addition,
Charleswood 15t Addition, and Dallas A venue from 20gth Street to its northerly terminus are to
be seal coated for the first time this year. The streets of Hilldee Addition, Westview Acres, 20gth
Street from Akin Road to the east, Spruce Street from 4th Street east to the frontage road of
C.S.A.H. 50/ T.H. 3, and 5th, 6th, and 7th Streets for 1'2 block north and south of Spruce Street are
scheduled to be seal coated this year as part of the 7 year maintenance program.
It will be specified that the 2001 seal coat project start after Mountain Dew Days (June 22 - 24)
and be completed before the Dakota County Fair (August 6 -12).

Discussion
A fine seal coat aggregate (FA-2 Modified Aggregate) is used in the cul-de-sac areas of the
project. Larger aggregate (FA-2 Aggregate) is used on all remaining areas.
Staff initiated the use of finer aggregate in the cul-de-sacs in 1997. Finer aggregate tends to bind
to the road surface better than larger aggregate, and thus helps prevent separating in areas where
there is a higher percentage of vehicles that turn in: a circular motion, such as cul-de-sacs. The
finer aggregate used in the cul-de-sacs can cost twice as much as the larger aggregate, however,
the finer aggregate is only used in the cul-de-sacs and the additional cost to the overall project is
not substantial.
It is recommended that used seal coat aggregate be utilized for construction fill. Last year all
used seal coat aggregate was used as construction fill.

Cost Estimates
Cost estimates have been prepared for the improvements described in this report. The estimates
for the work are based on anticipated unit prices for the 200 I construction season.
The cost estimates presented below include a ten-percent contingency and twenty-seven percent
allowance for engineering, legal and administrative costs.

Project Financing
At the start up of the seal coating program, the City proposed a 50/50 cost split between the
benefiting properties and the City for the cost of seal coating improvements. The City's
Assessment Policy states that Seal Coating shall be assessed at a 50% rate. Based on the project
costs identified in this report, the estimated assessment rates for the project, calculated with a
50/50 split, would be $62.28 per unit. The estimated assessment rate in the 2000 feasibility report
was $60.42 per unit and the final assessment amount based on the final project costs was $54.26.
Three of the developments and one street that are to be seal coated this year have already
collected funds to cover initial sealcoating costs through their respective development
agreements. These include Nelsen Hills 6th, Pine Ridge Forest, Charleswood 15t and Dallas
Avenue from 208th Street north to termination. Hilldee Addition, Westview Acres, 208th Street
from Akin Road to the east, and downtown areas will be assessed for their portion of the costs.
