APIF, MOTION CARRIED. c) Consider Ordinance - Rezoning Property Located at 220th Street and Denmark Avenue - Community Development A petition was received from Jim Allen to rezone the property located in the northwest comer of the intersection of Denmark Avenue and Ash Street and extends just north of the Vermillion River. The petitioner requests to rezone the property from the existing R-1 (Low Density) to R-2 (Medium Density) and R-3 (High Density). The property consists of approximately 76 acres of which 6.3 acres include the right-of-way easement for both Denmark Avenue and 220th Streets. The property also contains three seventy-five foot wide gas line easements, with a fourth to be added sometime this spring or summer, that bisects the property almost in half. The requested action does not conflict with the City's MUSA designation postponement to allow staff to update the City's Zoning Code; also, the applicant understands that the requested action in no way guarantees MUSA designation on the property. Council requested that Mr. Allen be present at the January 16,2001 Council Meeting to answer Council's questions. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Strachan to table adoption ofthe ordinance until the January 16,2001 Council Meeting. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

NEW BUSINESS a) Proposed Curbside Clean-Up Program for Residential Customers - Parks and Recreation The Solid Waste Division would like to explore the possibility of modifying the current Cleanup Day program from a drop-off to curbside pickup. The City Council has provided for an annual Cleanup Day drop-off program for the residents of Farmington since the late 1980's. A curbside Cleanup Day program would greatly benefit residents not currently able to participate and would encourage residents to participate by bringing this service directly to each household. Pickup should be completed in one day. Council approved this program change. A Request for Proposals will be brought to Council on January 16,2001. 13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE Councilmember Soderberg: On New Year's Eve and Day he chaperoned a marathon swim meet to raise pledges for the Cancer Society. Turn-out was wonderful. Regarding the State Sales Tax legislation, he received an e-mail from Representative Holberg agreeing with the City's position. City Engineer Mann: The City experienced a large snow fall and plowing started at 3 a.m. and the entire City was completed by 9 a.m. The process has been facilitated by compliance with the no parking ordinance and new plows.

ADJOURN Motion made and seconded to adjourn at 11 :30 a.m. Respectfully submitted, J~ [):~~ Karen Finstuen Administrative Services Manager City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us 7/; TO: Mayor, Council Members, City Administrator~ FROM: Karen Finstuen, Administrative Services Manager SUBJECT: Customer Service Response Report DATE: January 16,2001 INTRODUCTION In an effort to meet and understand our citizen's needs and concerns, the City has adopted a customer service satisfaction program. This program is designed to ascertain and measure the level of customer satisfaction during service-related interactions. All citizen contacts with the City are documented in terms of complaint type, referring department, priority of service request and service outcomes. Responses are typically anonymous ensuring that citizens with negative experiences are just as likely to respond as those with positive service experiences. Accordingly, it is the City's intent to use this information as a customer service tool to improve and promote the importance of excellence in customer service. DISCUSSION The table below reflects summary statistics generated by Customer Action Request forms over the months of July, August and September, 2000. Summary response percentages are generated through the analysis of monthly reports and include response data from all operating City departments. # of Service # of Surveys Prompt Personally Courteous Month Requests Returned Response Satisfied & Helpful 50 38 30 118 29 15 14 58 79% 100% 92% 90% 70% 93% 92% 85% 96% 100% 92% 96% I July I August I September I Summa'i-y The percentages above reflect the number of actual surveys that indicated a response in any given category. Consequently calculations are based on the actual numbers of responses received which may differ from the number of surveys received as some respondents did not indicate answers to specific survey questions. On average, over eighty-two percent (82%) of citizen requests for service are handled and addressed within a 1-3 day period. Typically, from that point it requires approximately 90 days to receive, process, compile and analyze the survey response data into monthly reports. In terms of how "promptly the City reacted to citizen requests," the degree of "how personally satisfied citizens were with service outcomes," and was City staff "courteous and helpful" in responding to citizen requests, response data suggests a very high level of customer satisfaction in all three categories. In terms of core customer service skills, City staff have achieved an impressive 96% rating in "courteous and helpful service" and 90% in "prompt service" regardless of how personally satisfied a resident was with service outcomes. This underscores the City's commitment to treat each resident contact as a highly valued customer service relations opportunity . In terms of how personally satisfied a resident is with a specific service outcome, staff responses are, in most cases, controlled by state statutes, City ordinances, available staff resources and/or service priorities. In some cases, responses are a function of a third party who must respond to a given situation at the insistence of City staff. Overall, a summary rating of 85% over the three month period for how personally satisfied a resident was with a City service response is a very respectable response ratio given the wide range of resident concerns. In review of survey comments, residents commented both negatively and positively on a variety of concerns such as boulevard tree trimming requests, traffic sign requests, dewatering concerns, tall grass and weeds complaints, drainage concerns, curb box repairs, recycling bins and garbage can replacements and staff responsiveness. BUDGET IMPACT None. ACTION REQUESTED Acknowledge the Customer Service Satisfaction reports from July through September, 2000. Staff will continue to present customer service satisfaction data to Council as it becomes available. Monthly report data with department breakdowns are available for Council review upon request. ryy~ Karen Finstuen Administrative Services Manager City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.cLfarmington.mn.us /c TO: Mayor, Councilmembers, City Administrator~ FROM: Karen Finstuen, Administrative Services Manager SUBJECT: Annual Report - Boards and Commissions DATE: January 16,2001 INTRODUCTION Section IX of Council By-laws calls for the submittal of a report stating the number of meetings and the attendance records for various Board and Commission members.

Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Intersection Control- 3rd and Oak Street DATE: January 16,2001 INTRODUCTION The intersection at 3rd and Oak Street has been temporarily signed as a four-way stop, as it had been during construction of the streetscape project, pending the traffic engineer's review and recommendation regarding a permanent change from a two-way stop to a four-way stop. DISCUSSION Attached is the traffic engineer's recommendation regarding the proposed four-way stop at the subject intersection. All-way stop control is recommended for the intersection due to sight distance and safety issues. As indicated, while sight distance has been improved due to the installation of the neckouts, the sight distance is still not sufficient to provide the vehicle and pedestrian safety desired for the downtown area. Staff concurs with the traffic engineer's recommendation and from staff observations, it appears that the combination of the enhanced sight lines and additional traffic control at the intersection, has improved the overall safety and operation of the intersection. BUDGET IMPACT None. ACTION REQUESTED Approve the permanent four-way stop control at the intersection of 3rd and Oak Street. Respectfully submitted, ~ht~ Lee M. Mann, P .E.

Milwaukee, WI Website: www.bonestroo.com Engineers & Architects Memorandum TO: Lee Mann FROM: Shelly Johnson, BRAA DATE: September 26, 2000 RE: Intersection Traffic Control- 3rd Street and Oak Street Our File No. 141-Gen The intersection of 3rd Street and Oak Street is located in the center of downtown Farmington. Presently, Oak Street is controlled by stop signs. The downtown area has just undergone a "facelift" with new sidewalks, lighting, and other improvements designed to keep the downtown area an attractive area for shoppers and businesses. The downtown area is one that contains and encourages persons to walk, rather than drive their car from one downtown location to another. Additionally, persons living on the fringes of downtown can walk from their homes to the downtown. Within the downtown, there is the need to provide safe walking corridors across streets. Downtown intersections often exhibit unsafe sight distance for vehicular traffic as buildings are adjacent to the sidewalks and vehicles parked along the streets can inhibit proper sight distance. In other words, the downtown area can have certain intersection deficiencies with regard to sight distance and with regard to creating a safe crossing for pedestrians, especially in the center of the downtown where pedestrian activity is normally concentrated. The previous narrative sets a basis for a change in the intersection traffic control at 3rd and Oak Streets. It is my opinion that the intersection of 3rd and Oak Streets should be controlled by stop signs on all intersection approaches. While the intersection sight distance has been improved due to the installation of the neckouts, the sight distance is still not sufficient to provide the vehicle and pedestrian safety desired for the downtown area. While you may wish to conduct vehicle and pedestrian counts at the intersection, the sight distance issue should be sufficient to warrant the all-way stop control.

DISCUSSION During the fourth quarter of the 2000 building construction season, October 1 st through December 31 S\ the City issued 100 new single-family detached housing permits and 15 new townhouse permits. The 100 single-family permits issued during the fourth quarter of 2000 are 17 more than the 83 single-family permits issued over the same period last year. Overall for the fourth quarter, the total of 115 new housing permits (single-family and multi-family units) issued is 17 more over the same period of a year ago. when 98' total residential permits were issued. Construction valuation of the single-family homes tofaled $12,616,00Q. The year-end numbers finished with 277 new single-family units, 2 duplex units, 1'09 new townhome units and 42 multi-family units (Cameron Woods second building) for a total of 430 new building permits issued. This is an increase of25% over last year's total of 343 residential units. The 430 residential permits resulted in a total new building valuation of $48,460,626. The total valuation for just the single-family home totaled $34,953,800, for an average valuation cost of$126,187 per single-family unit, an increase of almost $9,000 from 1999 (The construction valuation is determined by a building formula utilizing square footage of the home).

Olson Community Development Director SUBJECT: 2001 CDBG Application DATE: January 16,2001 INTRODUCTION The City of Farmington is scheduled to receive $57,062 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in 2001 from the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority. DISCUSSION 2001 will be the third year of the revised allocation formula for CDBG funds for the cities in District 4 (Farmington, Hastings, Lakeville, and Rosemount). Under this formula, one half of the total allocation for the District will be divided evenly amongst the four cities and the other half will be distributed based on a HUD formula that relies primarily on population. Under this formula, the City is scheduled to receive $57,062 and received $54,715 in 2000 and $53,987 in 1999. Staff is recommending that 2001 Grant amount be used to fund two activities. These include a portion of the salary and benefits for the Senior Center Coordinator position at a cost totaling $25,000 with the balance of $32,062 dedicated to the acquisition and clearance of blighted properties. The funding of the Senior Center Coordinator position was an activity that was funded in the 1999 and 2000 CDBG allocations. Because of the population served by the Senior Center, it automatically qualifies as an activity that benefits low-moderate income individuals. Regarding the acquisition and clearance of blighted properties, the HRA Board recommended at their December 11, 2000 meeting that the property located at 300 1 st Street (the property that was previously the location of a duplex damaged by fire and still contains the building foundation) be acquired with CDBG funds through a negotiated purchase. The Board had previously authorized an appraisal be prepared on the property. If the property can be acquired, the foundation would be demolished and backfilled and the property would be made available for redevelopment in its present configuration or as part of a larger assembled site. BUDGET IMPACT Funding a portion of the Senior Center Coordinator position is anticipated by the 2001 adopted Budget. ACTION REQUESTED Adopt the attached resolution that approves 2001 CDBG funding in the amount of $25,000 for salary and benefit costs for the Senior Center Coordinator position and the remaining $32,062 of the 2001 CDBG funding be dedicated for acquisition and clearance activities associated with the proposed purchase of the property located at 300 1 st Street.

Olson Community Development Director SUBJECT: Consider Amendment - MUSA Postponement Policy DATE: January 16,2001 INTRODUCTION A number of recommended exceptions were identified by staff and approved by the City Council recently as exceptions to the MUSA Postponement policy. These previously approved exceptions included the Industrial Park area, churches and schools, and previously approved Planned Unit Developments. DISCUSSION Several situations have arisen that do not fall under these exceptions but should receive consideration. These include: . Properties in the City or adjacent to the City that have failing Individual Sewage Treatment Systems or which wish to discontinue use of ISTS and have access to City sewer services. (Le. Benham property and properties along 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 (Le. Vacant lots along 213th Street, Marcel property) . Other similar situations that may arise that have not been contemplated. Staff believes that the MUSA postponement policy was intended to address areas that were being considered for. development and not intended to prevent addressing some isolated situations such as those described above. Based on this, it would be staff s recommendation that these types of situations not be subject to the MUSA postponement policy. The Planning Commission reviewed this issue at their January 9, 2001 meeting and recommended unanimously that the MUSA Postponement Policy be amended to provide exceptions for the above-described types of situations. ACTION REQUESTED Consider an amendment to the previously approved MUSA Postponement Policy resolution to include an additional exception for properties that are proposing to abandon existing Individual Sewage Treatment Systems or have deferred assessments pending against the property for previously installed public improvements including sanitary sewer.

Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: New Street Construction Standard - Bituminous Joint Sawing and Sealing. DATE: January 16,2001 INTRODUCTION The Engineering Division will be introducing a new operational procedure to the City's street construction standards for the 2001 construction season. DISCUSSION In 2001, the City's standard street construction requirements will include Bituminous Joint Sawing and Sealing. Bituminous Joint Sawing and Sealing consists of sawing joints at a 50-foot spacing, typically perpendicular to the curb, in the newly placed bituminous wear course (the final pavement lift) and sealing the joints with crack seal material. 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 sidewalks, curb and gutter and other concrete applications. The intent is to create the joint when the street is first constructed and minimize or eliminate future street cracking in random patterns. Consequently, when it is time to seal coat the street, the amount of crack sealing necessary will be eliminated or greatly reduced. In addition, elimination of cracks will greatly decrease the rate of deterioration of the roadway. Until cracks in the street are sealed, they allow water to enter the roadway base and degrade the structural integrity of the pavement. Staff has surveyed several communities that are already utilizing this procedure. Several of the communities have been requiring this procedure for 5-7 years and indicate they have seen excellent results. It has been indicated that the amount of random cracking has been all but eliminated on those streets that have incorporated the sawed and sealed joints. BUDGET IMPACT Based on staff s research, the current cost to saw and seal bituminous joints in new pavement averages about $1.30 per lineal foot. In an example development, such as the proposed Riverbend Development (270 homes plus or minus) east of Dakota County Estates, the estimated cost to saw and seal joints throughout the development would be approximately $11,000. The cost to saw and seal will be part of the initial street construction cost. The return on this initial outlay will be realized in the future in the form of reduced street maintenance costs and longer pavement life for the City's streets. ACTION REQUESTED F or information only. Staff will be contacting the developers that are working in the City in order notify them of the change in the City's street standards and schedule a meeting to discuss the issue if necessary .

The City has received a petition from Jim Allen to rezone the property located in the northwest comer of the intersection of Denmark Ave and Ash Street and extends just north of the Vermillion River. The petitioner requests to rezone the property from the existing R-l (Low Density) to R-2 (Medium Density) and R-3 (High Density), which is consistent with the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. DISCUSSION Mr. Allen has petitioned the City to rezone the subject property (see attached map/legal description) from the existing R-1 (Low Density) zoning designation to the R-2 (Medium Density) zone on the west half of the property and to the R-3 (High Density) zoning designation on the east half. The property consists of approximately 76 acres of which 6.3 acres include the right-of-way easement for both Denmark Avenue and 220th Streets. The property also contains three seventy-five foot wide gas line easements, with a fourth to be added sometime this spring or summer, that bisects the property almost in half. The requested rezoning of the property is consistent with the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan for residential land use densities. Due to the current process of updating the Zoning Code to make it compatible with the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan; zoning districts that were most consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use designations for density units permitted were suggested. The developer understands that the proposed zoning districts are subject to change pending changes to the City's Zoning Code update, but will remain consistent with the permitted density units shown within the Comprehensive Plan. Comprehensive Land Use Plan Allowed Density Units Compatible Zoning District Permitted Dwelling Units per acre Medium Density 5.5 to 14 units/acre LowlMedium Density 2.5 to 5.5 units/acre R-3 (High Density) up to 14 units/acre R-2 (Medium Density) up to 5.5 units/acre The requested action does not conflict with the City's MUSA designation postponement to allow staff to update the City's Zoning Code; also, the applicant understands that the requested action in no way guarantees MUSA designation on the property. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed rezoning at the December 12, 2000 meeting and forwarded a recommendation to approve the rezoning from R-l to R-2 and R-3 to the City Council. ACTION REQUESTED Consider adoption of the attached ordinance to rezone the Allen property as described on the attached legal description 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. ~ Michael Schultz Associate Planner cc: Jim Allen ORDINANCE NO.
