10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a) Business Owner Request - Amend Liquor Ordinance
B&B Pizza has requested permission to serve strong beer under their wine
license. According to state statutes the City Council may by ordinance authorize
a holder of an on-sale wine license who is also licensed to sell on-sale 3.2% malt
liquors, to sell intoxicating malt liquors at on-sale without an additional license.
The gross receipts must be at least 60% attributable to the sale of food.
Councilmember Strachan suggested setting the percent attributable to the sale of
food higher. Mr. Mark Goldberg, B&B Pizza, stated they are requesting this
because their customers are asking for strong beer. Currently, customers order
their pizza, then go across the street for beer. B&B would like to be able to serve
their customers. MOTION by Verch, second by Cordes adopting ORDINANCE
000-455 amending the ordinance relating to the issuance of Wine Licenses
permitting on-sale of intoxicating malt liquors under a wine license for
establishments whose gross receipts are at least 60% attributable to the sale of
food. Councilmember Soderberg amended the original motion to gross receipts
being 70% attributable to the sale of food. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
b) Schedule 2001- 2005 CIP Council Workshop
The City Council was presented with a draft Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)

Council Workshop was scheduled for November 8, 2000, at 4:30 p.m.
c) Consider 2001 Legislative Policy Priorities - Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities
The City has received a request from the Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities to consider 2001 Legislative Priorities affecting a variety of local
governance areas. From a total list of 64 policies under consideration, four
committees identified a sub-set of 17 policies that they are recommending to cities
for priority consideration. From that sub-set, Council was requested to select their
top five legislative priorities. Council will complete the AMM Policy Priority

d) Consider Resolution - Tamarack RidgelRock ClifT Development Contract
Addendum
The developer for Tamarack Ridge/Rock Cliff has requested to be allowed to
complete the utility installation for the entire single family area of the Tamarack
Ridge plat. Currently, the development contract for the project allows only
grading beyond the first phase of the plat. The addendum identifies the revised
surety amount that the developer will need to provide to cover the additional
utility installations. MOTION by Cordes, second by Soderberg adopting
RESOLUTION R90-00 approving the addendum to the development contract for
the Tamarack Ridge/Rock Cliff development that would allow the installation of

DATE: November 6, 2000
INTRODUCTION
At the October 16, 2000 Council meeting, Council was presented a list of proposed legislative

Legislature. As a member of the AMM, the Council has an opportunity to express its collective
views regarding its priorities for the upcoming legislative session.

In developing AMM policy priorities, four committees comprised of city officials, both elected
and appointed, discussed a variety of local government issues and initiatives that will most likely
receive legislative attention in this upcoming session. Policy issues were grouped into four
categories and discussed by the following committees: Housing and Economic Development,
Metropolitan Agencies, Municipal Revenue and Taxation, and Transportation and General
Government.
From a total list of sixty-four (64) policies under consideration, each of these four committees
identified a sub-set of seventeen (17) policies that they are recommending to cities for priority

Engagement of Audit Firm for December 31,2000
DATE:
November 6, 2000
INTRODUCTION
Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd. has presented the City with its engagement letter for auditing services
for the year ended December 31, 2000.
DISCUSSION
Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd. has satisfactorily completed three years of Audit engagement with the
December 31, 1999 Annual Financial Statements. Their proposal for the 2000 audit is consistent
with the services performed for the 1999 audit, except for the addition of an initial audit of the
City's fixed assets.
BUDGET IMPACT
KDV proposes a fee of $15,750 for professional auditing services of the December 31, 2000
financial records. This 11 % increase over the 1999 fees is due to the additional scope of the
project dealing with fixed assets. The proposed 2001 budget includes sufficient funding for
auditing services.
ACTION REQUIRED
Authorize engagement of Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd. for the December 31, 2000 audit at a fee of
$15,750.

Ms. Robin Roland
Finance Director
City of Farmington
325 Oak Street
Farmington, MN 55024
We are pleased to confirm our understanding ofthe services we are to provide to the City
of Farmington for the year ending December 31, 2000. We will audit the general purpose
financial statements ofthe City of Farmington as of and for the year ending December
31,2000. Also, the document we submit to you will include the following additional
information that will be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the
general purpose financial statements:
1. Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements
The document will also include the following additional information that will not be
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the general purpose financial
statements, and for which our accountant's report will disclaim an opinion:
1. Supplementary and Statistical Information
Throughout the remainder of this letter, references to Government Auditing Standards
apply only ifthe City has received any federal funding; whereas references to the Single
Audit Act of 1996,OMB Circular A-B3, OMB Compliance Supplement, major
programs and grant agreements apply only if the City has received $300,000 or more of
federal financial assistance.
The objective of our audit is the expression of an opinion as to whether the general
purpose financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles and to report on the fairness of the
additional information referred to in the first paragraph when considered in relation to the
general purpose financial statements taken as a whole. The objective also includes
reporting on the City of Farmington's compliance with laws and regulations and the
provisions of contracts and grant agreements and its internal controls as required by the
Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and OMB Circular A-B3, Audits of States, Local
Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Our audit will be conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards; the standards for financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States;
the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996; and the provisions ofOMB Circular A-133,
and will include tests of the accounting records ofthe City of Farmington and other
procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion and to render

the required Single Audit reports. If our opinion on the general purpose financial
statements or the Single Audit compliance opinion is other than unqualified, we will fully
discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete
the audit or are unable to express an opinion, we may decline to express an opinion or
may not issue a report as a result ofthis engagement.
The management of the City of Farmington is responsible for establishing and
maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of the controls.
The objectives of internal control are to provide management with reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or
disposition, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's
authorizations and recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that federal award programs are managed in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements.
In planning and performing our audits, we will consider the internal control sufficient to
plan the audit in order to determine the nature, timing, and extent of our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the City's general purpose
financial statements and on its compliance with requirements applicable to major
programs.
We will obtain an understanding ofthe design of the relevant controls and whether they
have been placed in operation, and we will assess control risk. Tests of controls may be
performed to test the effectiveness of certain controls that we consider relevant to
preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the general purpose
financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal
acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the general
purpose financial statements. (Tests of controls are required only if control risk is
assessed below the maximum level.) Our tests, ifperformed, will be less in scope than
would be necessary to render an opinion on internal control and, accordingly, no opinion
will be expressed.
We will perform tests of controls, as required by OMB Circular A-B3, to evaluate the
effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to
preventing or detecting material noncompliance with compliance requirements,
applicable to each of the City's major federal award programs. Our tests will be less in
scope that would be necessary to render an opinion on these controls and, accordingly, no
opinion will be expressed.
An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify reportable
conditions. However, we will inform the governing body or audit committee of any
matters involving internal control and its operation that we consider to be reportable
conditions under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control that, in our
judgment, could adversely affect the entity's ability to record, process, summarize, and
report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the general purpose
financial statements. We will also inform you of any nonreportable conditions or other
matters involving internal control, if any, as required by OMB Circular A-133.
3
Identifying and ensuring that the City of Farmington complies with laws, regulations,
contracts, and agreements, including grant agreements, is the responsibility of
management. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the general
purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of
the City's compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of
contracts and agreements, including grant agreements. However, the objective of our
audit will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express
such an opinion.
Our audit will be conducted in accordance with the standards referred to in the second
paragraph. OMB Circular A-133 requires that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the auditee has complied with applicable laws and
regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements applicable to major
programs. Our procedures will consist ofthe applicable procedures described in the
OMB's compliance supplement. The purpose of these procedures will be to express an
opinion on the City's compliance with requirements applicable to major programs.
Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions
recorded in the accounts, and may include tests of the physical existence of inventories,
and direct confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by
correspondence with selected individuals, creditors, and financial institutions. We will
request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement, and they
may bill you for responding to this inquiry. At the conclusion of our audit, we will also
require certain written representations from you about the financial statements and related
matters.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amount and
disclosures in the financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about
the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. We will plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud.
As required by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and OMB Circular A-B3, our
audit will include tests of transactions related to federal award programs for compliance
with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant
agreements. Because of the concept of reasonable assurance and because we will not
perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that a material
misstatement may exist and not be detected by us. In addition, an audit is not designed to
detect errors, fraud, or other illegal acts that are immaterial to the general purpose
financial statements or to major programs. However, we will inform you of any material
errors and any fraud that comes to our attention. We will also inform you of any other
illegal acts that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. We will include
such matters in the reports required for a Single Audit. Our responsibility as auditors is
limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to matters that might arise
during any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors.
Management is responsible for making all financial records and related information
available to us. We understand that you will provide us with such information required
for our audit and that you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that
information. We will advise you about appropriate accounting principles and their
application and will assist in the preparation of your financial statements, but the
responsibility for the financial statements remains with you. That responsibility includes
the establishment and maintenance of adequate records and effective internal control over
4
financial reporting, the selection and application of accounting principles, and the
safeguarding of assets. Additionally, as required by OMB Circular A-B3, you will
prepare the summary of prior audit findings. This schedule should be available for our
reVIew.
We understand that your employees will prepare all cash or other confirmations we
request and will locate any invoices selected by us for testing.
The workpapers for this engagement are the property of Kern, DeWenter, Vi ere, Ltd. and
constitute confidential information. However, we may be requested to make certain
workpapers available to Cognizant or Grantor Agencies pursuant to authority given to it
by law or regulation. If requested, access to such workpapers will be provided under the
supervision of Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd. personnel. Furthermore, upon request, we
may provide photocopies of selected workpapers to the Cognizant or Grantor Agency.
The Cognizant or Grantor Agency may intend, or decide; to distribute the photocopies or
information contained therein to others, including other governmental agencies.
Our fee for these services will be at our standard hourly rates except that we agree that
our gross fee, including expenses, will not exceed $ 15,750. Our standard hourly rates
vary according to the degree of responsibility involved and the experience level of the
personnel assigned to your audit. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each
month as work progresses and are payable on presentation. The above fee is based on
anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected
circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If significant additional time is
necessary, we will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee estimate before we incur the
additional costs. If the City of Farmington receives $300,000 or more of federal financial
assistance, which would subject it to the Single Audit Act of 1996, we will negotiate a fee
with you. Fees for these engagements typically vary between $500 and $1,500,
depending on the type of program.
Government Auditing Standards require that we provide you with a copy of our most
recent quality control review report. Our 1999 peer review report accompanies this letter
if Government Auditing Standards are applicable and if you have not received a copy of
our peer review report in a previous year.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City of Farmington and believe this
letter accurately summarizes the significant terms of our engagement. If you have any
questions, please let us know. If you agree with the terms of our engagement as
described in this letter, please sign the enclosed copy and return it to us.
Sincerely,
David Hi enkamp

INTRODUCTION
The Farmington Senior Center provides seniors with a wide range of program opportunities and services.
One such service recently offered by Senior Center staff provides members with the opportunity to learn
new computer skills, as well as providing them with access to computers and software. The popularity of
this service has prompted the need to replace two of the three existing computers as they are no longer
capable of meeting current software operating requirements.
DISCUSSION
At this time, user software applications consist of basic word processing, spread sheets, some graphic
programs and entertainment software. The inability to upgrade these existing computers, and the
availability of inexpensive new computers will allow users the ability to operate more sophisticated and
more popular software programs. In addition, more modern and powerful computers will facilitate more
efficient use of staff time, reduce computer processing wait time for users hence improving customer
service to seniors, and avoid system crashes that may result in data loss. The existing computers will be
sold at auction if possible or disposed of in accordance with City policies.
BUDGET IMPACT
The cost for two new computers is approximately $1,275 including sales tax and delivery, and will be
funded through the Recreation Operating Fund, a special revenue fund. This funding source has been used
in the past to underwrite capital expenditures directly associated with recreation programming service
costs. Adequate funding is available in this special revenue fund and will have no impact on the City's
general fund operating budget.
ACTION REOUESTED
As this capital item was not previously approved in the 2000 City Budget, Council approval of this
proposed expenditure is requested.

developers $9.50 each. The signs will be placed along individual lot lines between the
lots and wetlands.
BUDGET IMPACT
The low quote from Earl F. Anderson, Inc for 500 signs is $4,250.00. The dollars for this

SURVEY FINDINGS
WATER SOURCE
No deficiencies observed.
DISTRIBUTION
Undersized mains (less than 6 inches in diameter) should be replaced
as the opportunities present themselves.
All underwater crossings should be eliminated as soon as practical by
constructing an above-water crossing. An alternate method would be to
install a manhole on one side of the crossing, having valves and
appurtenances such that the crossing can be pressure tested.
All watermains crossing under railroad tracks should be protected by a
carrier pipe.

SUBJECT:
Acknowledge Traffic Safety Informational Pamphlet
DATE:
November 6,2000
INTRODUCTION
The City has over the course of the last several years received resident inquiries, requests and complaints
regarding the perceived need for additional stop signs at various intersections in the community. Council
member Strachan informally suggested that the City produce an informational pamphlet on the proper
role of stop signs and explain in concise terms how citizen requests are handled and evaluated by the City.
In order to be an effective communication tool, the pamphlet is designed to provide an abbreviated
explanation of the process used by the City. A pamphlet would then be distributed directly to residents
who have expressed a concern regarding the need for additional stop signage. This alternate educational
approach would not replace or eliminate the need to evaluate a citizen request for a stop sign, but would
provide additional information to the resident concerning process issues and considerations.
DISCUSSION
Given the increasingly high profile nature of stop sign requests in the community, this informational
brochure is being presented to Council for review and comment prior to its publication. Attached please
find a copy of the informational pamphlet that staff is proposing for distribution. It is designed to respond
to some of the more common questions the City receives in a concise, informative and matter-of-fact
manner. This pamphlet would also be made available on-line.
Police Chief Siebenaler and City Engineer Mann contributed to the creation and review of this document.
BUDGET IMPACT
Costs for producing these pamphlets would be nominal.
ACTION REOUESTED
Please review and acknowledge receipt ofthe attached informational pamphlet.

SUBJECT: Consider City Participation in the Dakota County Criminal Justice Information
Integration Network (CJIN)
DATE: November 6, 2000
INTRODUCTION
Over the course of the last year, Dakota County and cities in Dakota County have been leading
an effort to design and develop a new criminal justice information system model for sharing
information between law enforcement agencies within Dakota County. This new technology
model would migrate data standards to a common platform with a stated vision of "establish a
Criminal Justice Information Integration Network, which eliminates the barriers to
communication, and sharing of information across agency and jurisdictional boundaries, while
striving to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the criminal justice system."
DISCUSSION
With respect to municipal participation in this initiative, cities in Dakota County are being asked
to financially participate in the project. Attached is supplemental information regarding the
project, funding efforts to date and a detail itemization of project revenues and expenditures. It
should be noted that Dakota County, along with Hennepin County, is a leading proponent of
creating a criminal justice system network in the state of Minnesota that would allow for
instantaneous data sharing, communications and system access.
By establishing a common set of data standards, criminal justice agencies at all levels of
government would be able to eliminate redundant data entry, standardize terms, policies, and
data elements, and use technology to eliminate the many paper processes currently used to
slowly transmit data between criminal justice agencies.
BUDGET IMPACT
Under the second round of project funding, the City has been asked to contribute $888 to the
effort. Funding would be available through the Public Communications Project Fund. As
indicated in the attached information, project funding is a combination of state, county and city
financial participation.
ACTION REQUESTED
Consider authorizing City funding participation in the Dakota County Criminal Justice
Information Integration Network.

Dakota County Criminal Justice Information Integration Network (CJIIN)
In November 1999, Dakota County and its municipalities were awarded a $75,000 grant from the State of
Minnesota Department of Public Safety to develop an implementation plan for a criminal justice information
integration network for integrating the use of criminal justice information in the County. The state funds were
matched locally by Dakota County ($50,000), Eagan ($12,500) and Burnsville ($12,500). The final project
will provide an overall umbrella for all current on-going technological improvements in the collection,
management and use of criminal justice information in Dakota County local government. The goals of the
project include integrating information between criminal justice agencies within the county and integration
between local, state and federal systems.
Six counties applied for grants from the State to plan and implement integrated criminal justice systems.
Only two counties received funding from the State in 1999: Hennepin County received $500,000 and Dakota
County $75,000. Hennepin County's plan will be used as the starting point for a statewide "information
integration architecture." Hennepin has completed Phase I (RFP development, selection of a consultant)
and Phase II, which includes the Statewide Enterprise Model and a gap analysis. The Dakota County CJIIN
will work closely with the State while monitoring and analyzing Hennepin's plan.
In May 2000, the Dakota County Criminal Justice Information Integration Network (CJIIN) issued a request
for proposals (RFP) to hire a consultant to develop the implementation plan for integrating criminal justice
information at the state, county, and municipal levels of government within Dakota County. A total of 74
RFPs were sent to various consulting firms. Proposals were received from 13 firms. Four firms were
selected as finalists by the CJIIN Steering Committee representing staff from Dakota County and the cities of
Eagan and Burnsville.
The four firms were interviewed on May 31 and June 1 by an interview team that included the Steering
Committee, two members of the CJIIN Management Committee, and three additional members with
information technology experience. The finalists made presentations that included information on their
organization, project manager, team members, scope of the project, costs, and information integration
philosophy. As a result of this process, the CJIIN Steering Committee recommended that KPMG Consulting
be selected as the consultant to develop the implementation plan. This recommendation was reviewed by
the CJIIN Management Committee on June 5,2000 approved by the County Board on June 16, 2000.
KPMG will perform the 11 Tasks identified in attachment A as a condition for payment for a firm fixed price of
$340,000 including travel and other out-of-pocket expenses.
As a result of this contract, the total cost of the project increased to $358,000. The state originally awarded
Dakota County a $75,000 grant, matched by $75,000 from the cities of Eagan and Burnsville and Dakota
County for a total project cost of $150,000. As a result of our review of the work done by the State and
Hennepin County on the ongoing development of the Statewide Enterprise Architecture and models, the staff
of the CJIIN concluded that our original implementation planning grant did not provide adequate funding for
the project. The CJIIN submitted a second grant application and the state has now awarded Dakota County
an additional grant of $125,000, matched by $83,000 from County funds and an in-kind County contribution
of $42,000 for a full time project manager for the remainder of the year. With these additional funds, the
CJIIN will be able to meet the costs of the consultant. The cities of Eagan and Burnsville have agreed to
solicit additional matching funds from their jurisdictions and other cities in Dakota County which would reduce
the County's cash match amount.
The total cost of the project is $358,000; $340,000 for KPMG consulting services and $18,000 for the two
cities and Dakota County for PTI dues.
The source of the project funds are to be: $200,000 of state grants; $52,000 from the cities and
$106,000 from County funds.

Consider Farmington Lutheran Church MUSA Designation Request
DATE:
November 6, 2000
INTRODUCTION
The City has received a formal request for MUSA Designation for 17.7 acres along the east side
of Akin Road north of 208th Street.
DISCUSSION
In December of 1999, Farmington Lutheran Church and Bernard Murphy received approval of a
zone change from C-l (Conservation) and A-I (Agriculture) to R-l (Low Density Residential) to
facilitate the development of a new church on the property. In addition to the zone change,
Farmington Lutheran will also need to seek approval of a conditional use permit once the site
plan has been finalized and they are within a year of actually developing the site.
As the attached letter indicates, the Church is requesting MUSA designation for the property
prior to proceeding with the preparation of detailed plans and specifications until the MUSA
designation was certain. It should also be noted that church and school sites were exempted from
the recently approved 12 month MUSA designation postponement. It should also be noted that
the City will have 400 acres of Low Density Residential MUSA to assign once the postponement
period expires.
ACTION REOUESTED
Approve MUSA designation for up 17.66 acres of the Farmington Lutheran Church property
located on the east side of Akin Road.

Mr. David Olson

325 Oak Street
Farmington, MN 55024
This letter is to follow up on several meetings and conversations which have taken place
between Farmington Lutheran Church Planning Committee members and yourself, along
with other City staff members, during the past year. Our congregation has completed the
purchase of 17.7 acres on Akin Road (map and legal description attached). We have just
completed the extensive process of selecting an architectural firm. We have selected
Station Nineteen Architects, Inc., 2001 University Avenue SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414.
Station Nineteen's only business is church design. One of their area projects is Hosana
Lutheran Church in Lakeville. We expect them to commence the preliminary design
development process in early June.
At a special congregational meeting on Sunday, May 21,2000 the congregation approved
a budget for architectural services, fund raising expenses, site clean up costs and other
matters relating to site preparation.
In past meetings with our Planning Committee members the need for Municipal Urban
Services Area (MUSA) designation has been emphasized. Please accept this letter as our
formal request that the parcel of land for our planned new church facilities as described
on the attachment be added in the MUSA area of the City of Farmington. It would not be
our intent to have our architectural firm go beyond preliminary plans without MUSA
designation because of the extensive architectural and engineering costs involved with the
uncertainty ofMUSA.
If you require any additional information do not hesitate to contact me or our Senior
Pastor Jim Sbertoli through our church office (463-4100).
Sincerely,

SUBJECT:
Petition to Rezone A-2 (Agricultural Preserve) to R-1 (Low Density Residential)
- Donnelly Property
DATE:
November 6, 2000
INTRODUCTION
Farmington School District #192 has entered into an agreement to purchase 60 acres from Robert
Donnelly, Jr. between 190th Street and 19Sth Street adjacent to the Troyhills neighborhood. The
property is currently in the Agricultural Preserve Program and is zoned A-2 (Agriculture
Preserve). The Donnelly's are seeking to rezone the property to R-1 (Low Density Residential) to
allow for construction of the proposed elementary school. .
DISCUSSION
Mr. Donnelly is requesting to rezone 60 acres of his property from A-2 (Agricultural Preserve
District) to R-1 (Low Density District). The 2020 Comprehensive Plan (see attached) shows the
western portion of th~ site as natural open space and the remainder of the property as low density
residential. The proposed rezone from A-2 to R-I complies with the 2020 Comprehensive Plan;
therefore no plan amendment is required.
The School District proposes to construct a future elementary school on the property if rezoned to
R-1, a Conditional Use permit would be required for the school and will be applied for at a later
date. The first school is proposed to be constructed on the north half of the property, utilizing
190th Street as the primary access, currently, 190th Street terminates at Everest Path.
Water and sewer access is available within the Troyhills development until a trunk sewer facility
is extended from its current location south of the Charleswood development. Site topography is
generally flat adjacent to Troyhills and falls to a ravine that runs north/south on the western
portion of the 60 acres.
Since the property is within the Agricultural Preserve program, the School Board has recently
sought to remove the parcel from this status through an eminent domain acquisition process. This
process includes a Notice of Intent to the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) for eminent
domain action as provided in the Minnesota Rules Chapter 473H.1S, Sub.2. This request was on
the September 21,2000 EQB meeting and again on October 23,2000 meeting. Ifno comment or
objection is made within 60 days the property can then have the Agriculture Preserve status
removed.
The attached conceptual site plan illustrates a building footprint, accesses to the site and play
areas. The proposed use requires a Conditional Use Permit in an R-I zone; therefore, the
conceptual plan may be revised upon detailed review of the site by ISD #192 and City staff.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed rezoning at the October 24, 2000 meeting and
forwarded a recommendation to approve the rezoning from A-2 to R-l to the City Council.
ACTION REQUESTED
Consider adoption of the attached ordinance to rezone the Donnelly property as described on the
attached legal description from A-2 (Agricultural Preserve District) to R-l (Low Density District)
following the designated land use indicated within the 2020 Comprehensive Plan.
Respectfully Submitted,

Memorandum

FROM:

DATE:
October 13,2000
RE:
New Farmington Elementary School- 190th Street
Our File No. 141-00-125
The concept layout provided by the architect (see attached) provides two access locations to
190th Street and appears to have an access to the parking lot that is an extension of Everglade
Path.
One of the access drives from 190th Street provides .access to the bus loading/unloading area on
the west side of the building while the other provides access to the parking lot and the passenger
pick-up/discharge area located on the east side of the school. This concept does appear to
remove the provision of access from 193rd Street.
Evere:lade Path Access
Allowing an access as an extension of Everglade path has positive and negative connotatIOns.
The positive is that it would allow some of the school generated traffic (auto trips only) to use
Everglade Path and one block of Everest Trail (191 st Street) to arrive at Everest Path, which is a
minor collector. Thus, traffic in that area south of 190th Street would not have to travel on 190th
Street. The negative is that those persons living on Everglade Path and Everest Trail (191 st)
would probably not like the increased traffic coming to/from the school parking lot. Even
though Everglade Path has been "stubbed out" to the west to potentially be a local street for more
residential development, the fact that it would serve as an access to a school parking lot may
cause some residential objections.
190th Street Access
Since 190th is a major collector, we should strive to get a minimum of 1/8 mile between access
locations. It appears as though the two school driveways are approximately 450 feet apart. The
access to the parking lot needs to be "flipped" to the east side of the lot in order to obtain 600-
660 foot spacing from the bus access. This will still be more than adequate distance from the
2335 West Highway 36 · St. Paul, MN 55113. 651-636-4600 · Fax: 651-636-1311

Everest Path intersection with 190th Street. Looking to the west, along future 190th Street
extension, it would appear as though we would have adequate spacing from the bus access to the
future intersection of 190th and the proposed north-south collector.
193rd Street Access
It doesn't appear as though it would be economically feasible to construct an 850-foot "roadway"
from the south edge of the parking lot to an extended 193rd Street. If the site shifted southerly
(topography may prevent that), then 193rd access would be more feasible.
Roadwav Imvrovements
Roadway improvements should be discussed, even at this early stage of planning. Requirements
would include an extension of 190th Street, at major collector standards, to at least the bus access.
Exclusive left and right turn lanes will be required along 190th Street at both school access
drives.
Access Alone: North Side of 190th Street
It should be noted that the location of the school access drives would fix the location of access to
future development along the north side of 190th Street.
School Generated Traffic
We do not know what volumes to expect from the school development as the number of students
expected, at capacity, has not been provided.
Conclusions
The proposed project can function without an Everglade path and 193rd Access. Proper spacing
and design of access along 190th can allow for effective access. However, until we know the size
of the school and can estimate some volumes, we aren't absolutely certain that Everglade Path
wouldn't be a good secondary access.

FROM:
DATE:
November 6,2000
INTRODUCTION
In the 2000 CIP, the Town's Edge Water Main Project was included that would provide for a hydrant
for the Farmington Mall.
DISCUSSION
This project was included in the CIP in order that the property owner of the Farmington Mall would
have the option of the City installing the imJ'rovements with the costs being assessed against the
property over time. On Wednesday, March 8t , City staff met with Mr. Adelman, the property owner
to discuss how he wished to proceed with the project. At that time Mr. Adelman indicated that he
wanted to research doing the project himself and he would get back to the City if he wanted the
project to go forward as a City project.
Staff recently met with Mr. Adelman in regards to the hydrants for the Farmington Mall. Mr.
Adelman has indicated that he will construct the necessary improvements and consequently will not
need City project assistance. At this time, Council needs to be made aware that project responsibility
has shifted to the property owner and will be removed from the City's CIP.

SUBJECT: Peoples Natural Gas Company Rate Increase Request
DATE: November 6~ 2000
INTRODUCTION
The City has received notification from the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC)
advising counties and municipalities of a utility rate increase request from Peoples Natural Gas
Company [Company]. Information concerning this utility rate request increase is attached for
Council review. The company provides natural gas services to the entire Farmington community.
DISCUSSION
In speaking with Mr. Bob Harding, a Rates Analyst with the MPUC~ the company is seeking
approval for rate increases affecting residential, commercial-industrial and rural residential and
commercial. Under the company's request, residential rates would increase by 8.1 % annually
based on 1030 Ccf (100 cubic feet) of natural gas consumption due to an increase in company
distribution costs. Commercial/industrial rates would increase by 9% for a customer whose usage
is under 1500 ccf/year and 6.1 % for customers whose usage is greater than 1500 ccf/year. Rural-
residential and Rural-Commercial/Industrial rates would also be affected if the MPUC approves
the company's rate request.
The last rate increase that was granted to the company occurred in 1993. According to MPUC
records~ the company is requesting the increase due to higher operating and distribution costs in
providing natural gas services to its customers. According to the MPUC~ citizens have the
opportunity to present testimony during this rate review request process. Public hearings are
scheduled for December 12,2000 in Eagan at the Dakota County Library at 1340 Wescott Road
at 7 :00 pm.
ACTION REQUESTED
For information only.
Notice to Counties and Municipalities
Under Minn. Stat. ~ 216B.16, subd. I
MPUC Docket No. G-007,011/GR-00-951
In an August 11, 2000 filing with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission ("MPUC" or
"Commission"), Peoples Natural Gas Company ("Peoples" or "Company") requests an increase in
its rates for natural gas service within the State of Minnesota. The Company proposes a schedule
of new rates to take effect on June 11, 2001.
State law permits the Commission to suspend the proposed rates during a ten-month review
period. If the proposed rates are suspended, the Commission must order an interim rate schedule
into effect not later than 60 days after the initial filing date. The Company filed a schedule of
proposed interim rates based largely on the COlnmission's decision in the previous Peoples' rate
case (Docket No. G-OlI1GR-92-132).
On or before October 10, 2000, the Commission must decide how much of an increase, if any,
will be allowed. If the final rate level is less than the interim rate level, the excess amount
collected during the interim period will be refunded to customers with interest.
The Company is requesting this increase to cover expected higher costs in providing gas service
to its customers. Examples of the effect of the proposed interim rates and final rates on typical
customer bills are as follows:
Average Annual Customer Bills for General Service
Peoples Natural Gas Company
Northern Natural Gas Company Service Area
Annual Present Interim Proposed
Usage Rates 1 Rates Rates
Residential 1030 Ccf $ 559 $ 583 $ 604
Commercial/Industrial
<1500 Ccf/yr 1020 Ccf $ 566 $ 592 $ 617
>1500 Ccf/Yr 7070 Ccf $3484 $3608 $3696
Rural-Residential 1780 Ccf $ 913 $ 949 $ 978
Rural-Commercial/Industrial
<1500 Ccf/yr 1520 Ccf $ 802 $ 836 $ 866
> 1500 Ccf/yr 8340 Ccf $4083 $4227 $4330
1 The present rate levels identified in this application represent the rates authorized in Docket No. G-OIl/GR-92-
132. For the purpose of comparing present rates with proposed interim and proposed final rates, these numbers use
the Company's proposed new base cost of gas, as filed in Docket No. G-007, OII/MR-OO-960.

Development Contract Addendum - Glenview Townhomes
DATE:
November 6,2000
INTRODUCTION
Transmitted herewith is an addendum to the development contract for the Glenview
Townhomes development.
DISCUSSION
The developer of Glenview Townhomes was limited to constructing 45 townhome units
as described in the original Development Contract until either the Frontage Road was
completed or a surety was provided for the full cost of the frontage road project. The
planning and design of the new Frontage Road has taken more time than originally
expected for a number of reasons that were not caused by the Developer of Glenview
Townhomes. It should be noted that the developer has been working cooperatively with
the City in designing an acceptable Frontage Road alignment.
The most recent schedule should result in the Frontage Road improvements being
completed by July 1, 2001. The developer anticipates that he will exceed 45 units with
the next building permit issued in Glenview. Staff review of the transportation access
needs of the development suggests that adequate ingress and egress is and will be
provided for in the short term by the present Frontage Road access and by the access to
the Bristol Square development.
The City Attorney has prepared the attached addendum for Council consideration.
BUDGET IMPACT
The Developer will continue to pay $1,000 per unit for every additional permit issued to
be held in escrow for the Developers portion of the Frontage Road improvement costs.
ACTION REQUESTED
Consider the adoption of the attached resolution approving the addendum to the
development contract for the Glenview Townhomes development that would allow for
additional building permits beyond the original 45 units to be issued prior to completion
of the Frontage Road project.

Addendum to
DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT
AGREEMENT dated this _ day of August, 2000, by and between the City of Farmington, a
Minnesota municipal corporation (CITY) and Glenview Townhomes L.L.P., a Limited Liability
Partnership ~EVELOPER), as an addendum and supplement to that Development Contract
dated the 17 day of August, 1998.
Whereas by the above-referenced Contract the Developer has sought and obtained plat approval
for Glenview Townhomes and Commercial, and
Whereas among other provisions the Contract specified that the City approved the plat on the
condition that
"the Developer pays $1000 per building permit issued for each of the first forty-five
townhome units, said amount to be held by an escrow agent mutually agreed to by the parties
for the purpose of paying a portion of the Developer's obligation for necessary improvements
to the east frontage road along Trunk Highway 3. Interest on the escrow account will be
payable to the Developer. No additional building permits will be issued for any other units
beyond the initial forty-five until the Developer provides full payment or a surety acceptable
to the City for the full amount of the costs of the frontage road improvements based on the
estimated final project costs. The City will continue to pursue a cooperative agreement with
MnDOT in anticipation that MnDOT will participate in some portion of the costs to improve
the frontage road. The City agrees to make reasonable efforts to assess or otherwise collect
from other benefiting properties. In the event that the City is unable to impose or collect from
other properties, then Developer shall pay the full cost of the improvements. In addition to
any other remedies for default by the Developer, the City may assess the full costs of the
frontage road improvements to any or all of the lots created by the Plat. The improvement of
the frontage road is hereby agreed by the parties to confer special benefit to the Plat, and the
Developer and any successors or assigns, waive any procedural or substantive objection to
assessments for the construction of frontage road, including any claim that the assessment
exceeds the benefit to the property", and
Whereas the Contract further specified that:
"the City shall construct the frontage road along Trunk Highway 3 in accordance with
paragraph C above within two years from the execution of this Agreement unless the
parties agree to a different time frame by a written amendment to this Agreement" and
Whereas the City and Developer, in consideration of the executed Development Contract and the
mutual promises and covenants contained herein, now mutually agree to amend the previous
Development Contract as specified below:
1
1. Developer shall be authorized to continue construction of the Glenview Townhomes
and Commercial beyond the initial forty-five units at the Developer's discretion on
condition that the Developer pays the City $1000 per building permit issued for each
of the additional townhome units.
2. City shall continue to pursue a cooperative agreement with MnDOT, and shall take
other actions it deems necessary, to align and construct the frontage road
improvements along the east side of STH 3 north of County Road 72, but shall not be
bound by the two year time frame specified in the original agreement.
3. Developer agrees to dedicate the necessary right of way to construct the frontage road
and reaffirms that the City may assess any costs of constructing the improvement to all
or portions of the plat, and that the Developer, and any successors or assigns, waives
any procedural or substantive objection to assessments for the construction of frontage
road, including any claim that the assessment exceeds the benefit to the property.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties, their heirs, successors or assigns, as the case
may be.
Breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Developer shall be grounds for denial of building
permits, including lots sold to third parties.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year
first above written.
