I would like to read to you our combined statement. We, as concerned citizens of Riverside Estates come before you this evening to bring attention to the proposed development of a piece of property next to our neighborhood, on the comer of Akin Road and 208th street. The developer, Jack Benedict, is proposing to build 42 to 45 Senior Condo's. The proposed building site has on its borders three large gas pipelines, high line wires and wetlands. Which means that there is very little usable land to build on, in the first place. We have been told that the City will not grant access to this property from Akin Road or 208th street. We agree with the City on this. However, the developer is proposing to access these Senior Condos through the cul-de-sac at the west-end of 207th Street - right through our neighborhood. We disagree with allowing the developer to do this. Our first issue with this is that when we built our homes, the Builder (Brian Budinski) and the Realtor there at the time, promised us that there was no way anybody could ever build on that piece of land because there was no way to get to it. Except maybe through the cul-de-sac and over the pipeline and they assured us that that wasn't going to happen. We understand that Realtors and Builders sometimes lie in order to sell houses. We also understand that plans, over time, change. We don't expect them to be held responsible for the changes that are inevitable as a result of the passage of time, but we DO expect and DO hold them responsible for the lies they tell, and this one, affects us all. Second, the families that built their homes on the cul-de-sac, built there because cul-de-sac's are quieter, less traveled, and a safer place for their children to play. If the developer is allowed to proceed, this quiet cul-de-sac would see ten times or more the amount of traffic then before. Seniors would either be driving and / or being transported by shuttles or relatives to shop, to attend appointments or other events. They would always have to drive or be driven, because there are no conveniences with in walking distance. This cul-de-sac would no longer be quiet, or less traveled or a safe place for their children to play - not any more. . . Lastly, regardless of the builder's assurances that the proposed building would look nice, it, in our opinion, will still negatively effect our property values - especially in and around the cul-de-sac. Even the builder, when pressed for a response, indicated that he would not want this building next to his house either. The builder also mentioned that all we would see from our homes are balconies and gardens, no parking lots. All parking would be underground. Our response is: "Are the senior's friends and relatives going to park underground too?" We don't think so. Because of the water table in that area, we believe the proposed underground parking, would not be so "underground." It would in fact, be sticking halfway out of the ground and no amount of berming or additional fill brought in could hide it. Regardless of the methods to hide it or to make it blend in, a structure that tall, two stories, plus the underground parking, would still "stick out like a sore thumb" next to our neighborhood. In conclusion, we do believe that, if built, there are probably seniors that would want to live there, sandwi~~d between the high line wires and the three gas pipelines, near the U~;(nt~y School, with all of it's activity and congestion, and far away from any conveniences needed for senior life. We believe that there is probably a better use for this land. Maybe a neighborhood park, where children could play and families could come together, not something that would create ill-will and tear our neighborhood apart. We thank you for your attention in this matter and seek your wisdom and guidance for a peaceful and cooperative resolution to our issues. Thank you. - ..

PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS a) Council Goal Setting Workshop - Schedule Date The workshop will address the status and outcomes of Council approved goals, review 1999 significant accomplishments and identify future policy issues that Council may wish to consider for completion in 2000-2001. MOTION by Strachan, second by Cordes to approve the Council 2000 Goal Setting Workshop for Saturday, April 29, 2000 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. b) Consider Ordinance Amendment - Murphy Farm PUD AmendmentIMUSA Redesignation D R Horton and Arcon Development have entered into a purchase agreement with Genstar Land Company to purchase an additional 35 acres directly to the south of the Murphy Farm PUD owned by D R Horton and Arcon. The developers propose approximately 204 additional multi-family villa units coupled with the 92 villa units already approved in the original Murphy Farm PUD totaling 252 two- story villa townhome units. The 35-acre piece proposes a collector access to the west to connect with CSAH 31 and an access to the east connecting with the north/south collector street in the Murphy Farm PUD. A sidewalk or trail is required along the east/west collector. The development proposes both public and private streets, whereby the private streets will be located in the multi-family areas and will be maintained by a homeowner's association. The open space/park area has been identified within the FEMA floodplain. Staff recommends that park siting issues be delayed until the environmental assessment Council Minutes (Regular) April 3, 2000 Page 3 worksheet and floodplain delineation study is completed to determine if the proposed park land along the southern boundary of the site is outside of the actual loo-year floodplain. Staff recommended approval of the MUSA request for the following reasons: I. The Riverbend property within the current MUSA will most likely not be utilized until 2005 or later whereas the 6.5 acres of the MUSA expansion area on the Murphy Farm property will be developed within the next 1-3 years. 2. The same property owner is proposing the MUSA swap. 3. The City has designated this east/west roadway in the Murphy Farm PUD as a minor collector and therefore, is important to the City's overall transportation system. MOTION by Strachan, second by Cordes to adopt ORDINANCE 000-452 approving the Murphy Farm PUD Amendment contingent on the delineation of the floodplain and the acceptance of the location of a neighborhood park by the Parks and Recreation Commission. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Council also authorized redesignation of MUSA from the Riverbend property to the Murphy Farm property and directed City staff to begin the MUSA redesignation process with the Metropolitan Council. c) Consider Contribution - Dakota City Heritage Village Dakota City has requested a donation for the Friends of the Village program. As this request was not included in the budget, Council agreed they could not authorize the donation. d) Metropolitan Council Action on Comprehensive Plan Update The Metropolitan Council approved the Comprehensive Plan Updates for the City of Farmington and Empire Township at their March 22, 2000 meeting. The Metropolitan Council indicated in their written review that "City officials and City staff should be commended for their cooperation and excellence in their planning effort." Staff will coordinate the necessary zoning text and map modifications that will be required in order to be consistent with the approved Comprehensive Plan. 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 12. NEW BUSINESS a) Contractor Request - Recycling Services Due to the recent rise in fuel costs, Lakeville Sanitation is requesting a temporary rate adjustment. Staff has reviewed the request and notes the following observations: - A 3% increase is requested. - No rate increase to City customers is required. Lakeville Sanitation has been very willing to work out past problems with the City. Council Minutes (Regular) April 3, 2000 Page 4 The rate increase will be temporary and last no more than five months (September 30, 2000). If the fuel rates decrease lower than $1.30/gallon during this period, the rate increase is cancelled. The cost to the City would be $347 per month or $1,735 for the five-month period. MOTION by Cordes, second by Soderberg approving the temporary rate increase to be paid to the recycling contractor. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. b) Flagstaff Avenue - Weight Restrictions The City does not post weight restrictions, and all City routes fall under the State's 5-ton axle limit during the time of the spring weight restrictions. The anticipated additional traffic on Flagstaff during the Cedar Avenue project may have a detrimental effect on the condition of Flagstaff and heavy truck traffic would cause the most damage to the road. It is recommended that Flagstaffbe posted for the 5-ton axle limit year round. By State statute, allowances are made for school buses and vehicles transporting milk to use a road with a posted 5-ton axle limit. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Verch authorizing the posting of the 5-ton axle limit on Flagstaff Avenue. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE Councilmember Strachan: Commended Officers Hollatz and Murphy for their assistance with an attempted suicide situation. He also commended Police Chief Siebenaler for sending two officers for specialized training in the use of "less lethal" force technology. Parks and Recreation Director Bell: Mr. Randy Oswald, a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission has volunteered to serve on a task force for the Dakota County Parks and Recreation. Mayor Ristow: Reminded Council of the April 5, 2000 Council Workshop on Akin Road. The Mayor also stated he has been asked to sit on the board for hiring a new school superintendent. 14. ADJOURN MOTION by Cordes, second by Strachan to adjourn at 8:10 p.m. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Respectfully submitted, ~L/~~ ?-Y-7~ c:7 Cynthia Muller Executive Assistant Farmington City Council Special Council Workshop Meeting Minutes City Hall Council Chambers Wednesday, i\pril 5,2000 A special Council Workshop was convened on Wednesday, April 5, 2000 at 7:00 p.m. in the Farmington City Hall Council Chambers. Present: Mayor Jerry Ristow, Council Members Cordes, Soderberg, Strachan and Verch. County Commissioner Joe Harris. Absent: None Also Present: Administrator Erar, Public Works Director Mann, City i\ttomey Jamnik, County Commissioner Richardson, County Engineer Theisen, Assistant County i\ttomey Ring, Assistant County Engineer Vermillion. Workshop was called to order by Mayor Ristow at 7:00 p.m. Workshop agenda was adopted. Mayor Ristow opened the meeting by stating the purpose of the workshop was to discuss Dakota County's positions, City positions and issues relative to the turnback of Akin Road to the City. Issues brought to the City Council's attention by City staff to date suggest that Dakota County is unwilling to financially participate in the tumback of Akin Road. Key issues cited include differences in how a 1999 i\greement are being interpreted by the City and by Dakota County staff. Mayor Ristow asked administrator Erar to begin the meeting by providing background information on issues of contention between the City and County. Administrator Erar began by presenting issues that City and County staff had discussed. These issues were identified in a written handout attached to the Workshop i\genda. Upon review of the issues cited, County staff indicated that on a number of points presented by i\dministrator Erar that questions remained relative to City and County view points. i\dministrator Erar indicated that the points identified were City staffs recollection of issues discussed with County staff and that their recital was to assist the elected officials in summarizing the issues researched by the County and the City. Erar indicated that the Council has not formally accepted CSJ\H 31 Alignment given that a revocation agreement has not been negotiated with the County. County Engineer Theisen presented a chronological overview of County transportation policy development regarding financial participation in the acquisition of County right-of-way. Assistant County Engineer Vermillion presented historical information alleging that the County has treated other cities in a similar fashion regarding revocation relative to no County financial participation in tumbacks. Points of issue continued to focus on the changes in the County's 1996 Transportation Policy which states a 55% contribution by the County. This point remained as a point of contention between the City and County. County legal staff indicated that the 1995 Agreement, while inconsistent relative to sections 2 and 5, nevertheless did not state that further financial participation on the part of the County was forthcoming regarding the revocation of Akin Road. Assistant County i\ttomey Ring indicated that "two words" were missing in Section 2 which would have clarified the intent of the agreement in 1995. In fact, County staff indicated the 1995 Agreement, was in itself, the revocation agreement for Akin Road. Disagreement on this point continued to be expressed by the City staff citing specific language requiring a separate revocation agreement. Commissioner Harris cited County financial participation on Akin Road in 1989 and his belief that the City had not contributed anything to the improvements made on Akin Road at that time. In addition, Commissioner Harris stated that if anything, the City of Fannington has been treated as well or better than other cities in Dakota County. Commissioner Harris indicated that he stood behind County staff in believing that no further County financial participation was due the City regarding Akin Road, but that the City was free to approach the County Board for additional assistance. Commissioner Harris further stated his regrets (apologies) for not contacting the Mayor directly on the County Board's recent action revoking Akin Road to the City. Mayor Ristow stated it was his belief that agreements presented in 1995 and his recollection of County staff at that time stating that Akin Road would be addressed once the new alignment was completed. Mayor Ristow further indicated that the 1995 agreement presented to him never indicated that the City would accept Akin Road in "as is" condition. If it had been identified, the Mayor indicated he never would have voted for it in its original form. Furthermore, it was pointed out that the contract never included language such as "as is" or some other language similarly inserted by the County to reflect that the City would be accepting Akin Road in its current condition and that the County would not be financially participating in its revocation. Councilmember Strachan expressed his views regarding Akin Road relative to what a reasonable person would understand after reading this agreement. Councilmember Soderberg also expressed his views that the 1995 Agreement language specifically required a separate revocation agreement. Councilmember Cordes indicated that her recollection from meetings with county officials is that the county would participate in the financing of improvements to Akin Road, but that the details were to be worked out after the realignment project was approved and nearing completion. Council as a whole indicated their appreciation of County participation in the workshop. City and County administrators commented that while these issues remained unresolved and difficult, that staff on both sides of the issue remained very cooperative and cordial in attempting to sort these issues out. It was decided by the Council that the Feasibility Study for Akin Road currently being prepared needed to be reviewed before further decisions could be made by the Council. Council was in agreement that options should be discussed at that time regarding the County's position on the revocation of Akin Road. No consensus was articulated by Council as to final determination on the issues discussed and/or presented by the County in defending its position of no financial participation in the revocation of Akin Road. Administrator Erar commented that based on the documentation reviewed alone, the City Council in 1995 would have believed that the County's intention at that time would have been to negotiate a separate revocation agreement on Akin Road upon completion of the new alignment. Furthennore, Erar added, that it was his belief that fonner staff would not have advanced the agreement as a final revocation agreement without knowing what the costs for improving Akin Road would have been upon City acceptance. In simple tenns, the County would have been asking the City to accept a County road with unknown future cost and liability implications for City taxpayers.

Rossel, 3261 213th Street West (formerly County Road 72), has petitioned for connection to the recently installed sanitary sewer in 213th Street. DISCUSSION Due to the fact that the assessment hearing for the CR 72 project has not been held, it is necessary for the City and Mr. Rossel to enter into an assessment agreement to allow Mr. Rossel to connect his property to the sanitary sewer. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Rossel agrees to be assessed for the County Road 72 assessments and waive his rights to object to the assessments. BUDGET IMPACT None. ACTION REQUESTED Acknowledge and approve the attached Assessment/Sewer Hookup Agreement between the City and James D. Rossel. Respectfully submitted, ~Yl1~ Lee M. Mann, P.E. Director of Public Works/City. Engineer cc: file (Reserved for Recording Data) ASSESSMENT/SEWER CONNECTION AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") made this 10th day of April, 2000, by and between the CITY OF FARMINGTON, a Minnesota municipal corporation ("City") with offices at 325 Oak Street, Farmington, Minnesota, and James D. Rossel, an individual ("Owner"). Recitals: The Owner owns the real property located in Dakota County legally described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein, also with the Parcel Identification Number of 140320010026 and a street address of 3261 213th Street West, Farmington, MN 55024 ("Subject Property"). The Subject Property shall be assessed costs, fees and charges associated with the reconstruction of 213th Street from Trunk Highway 3 to the easterly City limits ("Improvements") including the provision of sanitary sewer service to the subject property. The Owner has requested to be allowed to hook up to the City's sanitary sewer system prior to completion of the project and the final assessment hearing. Execution of this agreement allows the Owner to connect a service line for the subject property to the City provided sewer service at the property line. Actual construction of the connection cannot commence until a sewer connection permit is issued by the City. Final connection of the service line to the house and discharge of sewage to the City's sanitary sewer system may not occur until the sanitary sewer has been tested and City has provided the Owner with written notification to proceed with the final connection. NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL COVENANTS SET FORTH HEREIN, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS: The Subject Property shall be assessed by the City for the Assessments. The total Assessments shall be determined subsequent to construction of the Improvements. Payment of the Assessments shall be made over a period of fifteen (15) years, accruing interest at the rate of seven percent (7.0%) per annum. The estimated assessment amount for the sanitary sewer is $6200. The final assessment amount will be determined subsequent to the completion of the improvements. In addition to the sanitary sewer improvement assessment amount, sanitary sewer hookup fees that need to be paid include the Metropolitan Council SAC fee - $1100, the City SAC fee - $360, and a sewer connection permit fee - $60. The hookup fees are typically paid at the time of sewer connection permit issuance, however, the hookup fees may be assessed if so desired by the Owner. Execution of this agreement by the Owner authorizes the City to assess the hookup fees against the Subject Property if the Owner does not wish to pay the hookup fees at the time of sewer connection permit issuance. The Owner, by signing this Agreement, acknowledges that all procedural and substantive objections to the Assessments are hereby waived unconditionally, such waiver includes any rights of the Owner, his successors or assigns to hearing requirements and any claim that the assessments exceed the benefit to the Subject Property. The Owner further waives any appeal rights otherwise available pursuant to M.S.A. ~ 429.081. CITY OF FARMINGTON: By: Gerald R. Ristow, Mayor By: John F.

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 November and December 1999. 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 I Novem'ber December I Summary 39 40 79 23 20 43 91% 95% 93% 86% 90% 88% 100% 90% 95% On average, over eighty-six percent (86%) 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. .-. --.~_.- .~-p-' ..- .. "..' --." 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 95% rating in "courteous and helpful service" and 93% 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 88% over the two 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 unkempt lots, sign requests, snow removal concerns and staff responsiveness. BUDGET IMPACT None. ACTION REOUESTED Acknowledge the Customer Service Satisfaction reports from November through December 1999. 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.

DISCUSSION During the first quarter of the 2000 building construction season the City issued 67 new single-family detached housing permits and 5 new attached housing units (townhouses). No new commercial, institutional or industrial building permits were issued during the quarter. The number of single-family permits is up in comparison to the first quarter of 1999 when 45 new single-family permits were issued, an increase of almost 33%. The pace of this year's first quarter would indicate a forecast of approximately 275 housing units, bringing it at or near the City's yearly projection for housing units. The average building valuation of the homes for the first quarter is $123,194, up from last year at $114,289. Note that the valuation average does not represent the overall sale or market value of the home; since it does not include the value of the lot or any amenities added to the home that are not part of the building code formula.

PARTNERSIDP MINNESOTA 2000 COOPERATIVE PUBLIC SERVICE AWARD APPLICATION 1. Why was this partnership formed? What were the objectives? How were the members brought together? (100 words or less) The partnership formed when the three cities decided that their individual cable franchise renewal processes with a common cable provider should be consolidated into a joint renewal effort. The administrators from each city agreed that it would be in each city's best interest to share the terms and conditions each had negotiated with the company. The cities concluded a joint effort to negotiate terms would be the best means to accomplish this goal. The cities further concluded that the joint efforts should be expanded and formalized to include government access services that would otherwise be duplicated by each city. Describe how your program reflects innovation and initiative in providing Hassle Free Services. (100 words orless) The partnership provides citizens with better customer service. Prior to the joint agreement, residents had to call a representative from their city with cable complaints. Further, the Cable Company needed to contact each of the three cities when a technical problem caused cable service disruption. Because the number of people involved in this process, city staff was often unaware of problems until after residents complained. Under the joint agreement, the Cable Company notifies one representative for the three cities. That representative is able to notify other city staff as necessary and fields all resident cable complaints for all 3 Wha bl b. three cities. . t pro ems or amers were encountered? How were they overcome? What challenges remauf! (100 words or less) One barrier was that Apple Valley had a long-established history of government programming while both Farmington and Rosemount had no experience with government programming. Despite this difference in experience, the three cities were able to work together to help bring the two cities with no experience on-line faster. The three cities continue to work with the Cable Company to provide a single government "signal.to the residents of all three cities so that programming can be provided from .,..'."....... one location. Farmington and Rosemount are in the process of wiring and equipping t;~their council chambers to air live broadcasts of meetings. . What were the resu1tslbenefits of this partnership effort? Include specific measures where available. (100words orless) , The three cities were able to jointly hire a single cable coordinator specializing in cable issues. Without the partnership, each city would likely have used less qualified staff from other departments to handle cable issues. Through the partnership, the three cities were able to save money by jointly purchasing equipment and consolidating their efforts into a single $83,000 budget, rather than duplicating this for each city. Residents receive better customer service as the cable coordinator is more familiar with issues common to all three communities and is better able to help the Cable Company identify problems affecting all three communities. Describe your efforts or plans for sharing your partnership success with others who may benefit? (l00 words or less) The Commission plans to share its success through the Minnesota Association of Community Telecommunications Administrators (MACTA). MACTA is an excellent organization for municipal governments interested in cable and telecommunications issues and operations. The Commission also is planning to create its own unique identity to help residents and other communities understand the joint partnership that has been created.

Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Authorize Use of Eminent Domain - 2000 Trunk Watermain Project DATE: April I?, 2000 INTRODUCTION As indicated in the City's 2000 CIP, the Water Board has put plans out to bid for the 2000 Trunk Water Main project. The westerly portion of the project consists of installing trunk water main along the new alignment of CSAH 31 from 195th Street to CSAH 50. The easterly portion of the project extends two mains to the Sprute Severson property, one along Trunk Highway 3 and one along the SE Trunk Sanitary Sewer (see attached map). DISCUSSION The project requires that the City acquire easements for the trunk water main. Staff is currently negotiating with affected property owners. In order to insure that the easements can be acquired in a timely manner to allow for the construction of this project, the Water Board requests that the Council authorize staff to proceed with eminent domain proceedings, if it becomes necessary. The majority of property owners have indicated a willingness to work with the City on the project and staff is cautiously optimistic that eminent domain procedures will not be necessary. However, it is necessary to have the quick take option available if it becomes necessary. BUDGET IMPACT None at this time. ACTION REQUESTED, Adopt the attached resolution authorizing staff to commence with eminent domain proceedings for the 2000 Trunk Water Main Project. This procedure will be utilized only as necessary to allow the project to move forward as needed. Respectfully submitted, ~'n1~ Lee M. Mann, P .E.

DISCUSSION Sienna Corporation is proposing the final phase ofthe East Farmington development with the 7th Addition. The Developer proposes 68 single-family lots in the 7th Addition preliminary and final plat and the elimination of the 8th Addition that included 44 multi-family units. The multi- family units that are shown on the original PUD (see Exhibit C) would be replaced with a City Park on Outlot E (see Exhibit A). Sienna Corporation requests an amendment to the PUD in order to provide fill material to complete the grading of the lots and park land in the 7th Addition, provide the Prairie Waterway with additional storm water holding capacity and provide a park-like entrance into the City from the east along TH 50. The Developer proposes the following amendments to the East Farmington PUD: 1. Redesignate the temporary pond to a permanent pond in Outlot S East Farmington 1 st Addition and increase its size to be incorporated into the Prairie Waterway. 2. Remove the multi-family (units) land use identified in Outlot R East Farmington 1 st Addition. 3. Relocate the City Park from Outlot S East Farmington 1 st Addition to Outlot R East Farmington 1 st Addition and replat as Outlot E East Farmington 7th Addition. 4. Reduce the number of lots in the East Farmington 7th Addition Block 5 from 17 to 10 lots. Removal of Multi-Family Land Use The original PUD (see Exhibit D, enlarged version) approved in 1992 showed 44 multi-family units on Phase 3 Block 13. The original intention for the development of East Farmington was to provide both single-family and multi-family units in the project. The original PUD plan (see Exhibit C) showed three areas of multi-family including the area east of TH 3 (Farmington Townhomes - Phase IB Block 8), south ofCR 72 (Phase 2 Block 32) and north ofTH 50 (Phase 3 Block 13). In total, the plan called for 123 multi family units. With the removal of the 44 units and the reduction of 4 units in the Farmington Townhomes project, the total number of multi-family units in East Farmington is 16 located along TH 3 in the Farmington Townhome project. On November 3, 1997, the City Council approved an amendment to the East Farmington PUD to replace 65 multi-family units south of CR 72 with 65 single-family lots (see Exhibit F and G). Contingencies to the approval concerning the multi-family revision required that the Developer "maintain the remaining multi-family areas shown on the original PUD and shall not be allowed to stray from the original PUD plan. The remaining multi-family areas fulfill the obligations of the City for the Livable Communities Act and must be developed as planned in the original PUD." The remaining multi-family areas include the Farmington Townhomes site (Phase IB Block 8) and Phase 3 Block 13. City staff has reviewed the above contingency and agrees with the need to meet the Livable Communities Act requirements that propose 32-36% of housing in the City be multi-family housing. The City is currently at 24%. However, with the recent approval of schematic PUD plans for Vermillion Grove, Murphy Farm and Tamarack Ridge, which include approximately 690 multi-family units, the City will reach the goals of the Livable Communities Act without the need for the 44 units in the 7th Addition. Therefore, City staff recommends that with the recent approvals of the above PUD plans the removal of the multi-family units will not be a detriment to the goals of the Livable Communities Act. Relocate the City Parkfrom Outlot S East Farmington 1st Addition to Outlot E East Farmington 7th Addition. The City Park is proposed to be relocated to the newly platted Outlot E in the East Farmington 7th Addition (see Exhibit A) to fulfill the Developer's park dedication requirements. The park is 4.02 acres in size and has been approved by the Parks & Recreation Commission at their February 2, 2000 meeting. A ballfield, sand volleyball court, ~ basketball court, playground structure and horseshoe pits will be developed by the City on the park site. Redesignate the temporary pond to a permanent pond in Outlot S East Farmington 1st Addition and increase its size to be incorporated into the Prairie Waterway The City Engineer approved the grading plan for the 6th and 7th Additions on August 6, 1999 to extract material from Outlots Q and S (see Exhibit E) to fill "borrow pits" within the proposed 2 7th Addition and gain additional fill material for the 6th Addition. On October 8, 1999 the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction within the 6th and 7th Additions of East Farmington to extract 10 feet of additional fill material out of the pond area in Outlots Q and S. The Developer withdrew the permit application at the City Council on November 1, 1999. The approval of the grading plan for the 6th and 7th Additions has allowed the Developer to extract material from the temporary ponding area in Outlot S East Farmington 1 st Addition. With the requested PUD amendment, the Developer proposes to continue extraction of material with an approved grading plan from Outlot S East Farmington 1 st Addition and Outlot FEast Farmington 7th Addition (see Exhibit A) to create a permanent pond, provide an additional 260,000 cubic yards of fill material and create additional storm water holding capacity for the Prairie Waterway (see Exhibit B). The engineering division is currently reviewing the pond to determine the requirements of extracting material, evaluating the perimeter and bottom design of the pond, establishing requirements for sealing the pond and determining the storage and water quality gained from excavating the pond. As stated in Exhibit B, the Developer plans to incorporate the pond into the Prairie Waterway by creating undulating banks along the perimeter to provide a natural setting for the pond. Additionally, with the pond's incorporation into the Prairie Waterway, the City's Parks & Recreation Department has initiated planning for recreational amenities surrounding the pond. Reduction of lots in Block 5 from 17 to 10 lots Block 5 of the 7th Addition has been reduced from 17 to 10 lots because of the expansion of the pond to the south into Block 5. The Developer proposes to utilize a portion of Block 5 to excavate additional material from the property thereby creating additional storm water capacity for the Prairie Waterway. The pond would also be classified as a class IV Wetland (lake) because of its depth. With the additional multi-family areas gained in recently approved schematic PUD plans and the enhanced aesthetic and recreational benefits to the City, staff recommends the approval of the previously mentioned amendments to the East Farmington PUD ACTION REOUESTED Council may consider two actions relative to the Developer's request. 1) Adopt a resolution amending the original PUD to incorporate the following items: I. Redesignate the temporary pond to a permanent pond in Outlot S East Farmington First Addition and increase its size to be incorporated into the Prairie Waterway. 2. Remove the multi-family (units) land use identified in Outlot R East Farmington First Addition. 3 3. Relocate the City Park from Outlot S East Farmington 1 st Addition to Outlot R East Farmington 1 st Addition and replat as Outlot E East Farmington 7th Addition. 4. Reduce the number of lots in the East Farmington 7th Addition Block 5 from 17 to 10 lots.

MEMORANDU-M' ...". r-AX:61?-B35'~/oOil Fax no. 651-463-1611 TO: lee Smick, Planner FROM: DATE: Rod Hardy February 16, 2000 ~ f RE: Request for Amendment to East Farmington PUD East Farmington 71t1 Addition .j..I 'rl ,Q 'M ..c ~ ~ At your request I would like to provide you with backRround for the proposed PUD Amendment. This Amendment will provide that the 7 AdditIon will be the final Addition In East Farmington. Adjustments are proposed in the 7~ Addition to reduce the size of Block 5 from 17 lots to 10 lots. The proposed 8th Addition will be made a part of the 71tl Addition with Outlot E, (the Southeast Block) being laid out as a city park. The park was originally located on the East side of Twelfth Street and recorded as Outlot S of the 11i1 Addition. The original proposed park froperty Is now planned to be added to the Southeast portion of Block 5 of the 7 Addition and portions of the existing waterway to become a class IV Wetland (lake) of the waterway. The reason for creating this additional wetland Is three-fold: first, it will provide fill material to complete grading of the lots and park land in the 7fn Addition; second, it will give the Prairie Waterway needed additional stormwater holding capacity; and third, this layout will provide a park-like setting for the East entrance to Farmington along Highway 50. When the project was first laid out in 1993 and the Tax Increment Finance Agreement was being created, the original grading plans as defined in the PUD Agreement for both the project and the Prairie Waterway provided for approximately 560,000 cubic; yards of fill to be removed from the waterway to the project. In the final design and ultimate construction of the waterway I the amount of material transferred from the waterway to the project was short was approximately 260,000 yards. The material from this addition to the waterway will make up the shortfall. The 8111 and final Addition was originally planned for multi-family units where the park will now be located. Now, the entrance to Farmington from the East will be a larger Prairie Waterway and an active Ball Park. Additional recreational activities are being planned for the expanded section of the waterway by the City's Park & Recreation Department. The final number of single family lots In the entire East Farmington Additions will be 472 with 12 Townhouse units platted on the one multi-family parcel facing Highway 3 south of Larch Street next to larch Street. This summarizes our need for the final Amendment to the PUD, and Sienna hereby files its request.

City Administrator tJdE- p.t FROM: Lee Smick, Planning Coordinator ~ -l-I SUBJECT: East Farmington PUD Amendment 'M ..c 'M ..c:: DATE: November 3, 1997 >< ~ INTRODUCTION Sienna Corporation is seeking an amendment to the East Fannington PUD in order to provide additional single-family lots. include the Sauber property within the PUD and create a new typical block configuration. DISCUSSION Sienna Corporation proposes the following amendments to the PUD: . Revise the multi-family use to single-family along County Road 72 . Include the recently annexed Sauber property within the PUD . Create a new typical block with 18 lots within a block measuring 360' x 385'. Sienna Corporation proposes to change the existing multi-family use located to the south of County Road 72 to single-family because market pressures are requiring more single-family homes than multi-family housing at this time. The multi-family use called for am>roximatelv 65 units, whereas, 65 single-family lots are proposed to be developed not only on the multi-family use acreage, but also within the East Fannington 4th Addition. Sienna intends to locate the single-family lots along County Road 72 in order to create a more compatible entrance into East Farmington by providing the single-family characteristic to the neighborhood in this location. Sie~l'iIIl'nnti!!!!e to reta!!!.!h.e two other multi-familv locations to the west of the PUD and along Hi~way 50 to the south. Sienna feels that these IQcati.!mU;.Q!1tinue to be better suited for multi- family uses because of their access to traffic corridors. Sienna also proposes to amend the PUD . eluding the recently annexed Sauber ro e located to the south of County Road 72. This property was annexe IDto the City after approval by the City Council on September 15th and will provide additional land acreage for the proposed 65 single-family lots in the East Fannington 4th Addition. The existing house on the Sauber property will remain and will be connected to City sewer and water within one year. The third amendment to the East Fannington PUD will create a ne~typical block configuration with 18 lots within a block measuring 360' x 385'. This block will add more lots to its location because it is larger in area than other typical blocks measuring 360' x 360'. This block will be located on the east side of Twelfth Street in Outlot D. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the proposed amendments and the Planning Commission approved the amendments on October 14, 1997 with the following contingencies: 1. The newly created block located in Outlot 0 shall be site specific to that location. This block size and - number of lots may not be utilized elsewhere in the PUD. 2. The developer shall be required to maintain the remaining multi-family areas shown on the original ---PUO and shall not be allowed to stray from the original PUD plan. The remaining multi-family areas fulfill the obligations of the City for the Livable Communities Act and must be developed as planned in the original PUD.

TO: Mayor and Councilmembers City Administrator /~ FROM: David L. Olson Community Development Director SUBJECT: Consider Sprute/Severson Annexation Petition - Schedule Public Hearing DATE: April I? , 2000 INTRODUCTION The City has received a request from Katherine Sprute Severson and Charlotte Severson Oliver to annex 6.67 acres on the north side of County Road 66. The subject property abuts the former Sprute/Severson property located on the south side of County Road 66 which is currently proposed to be developed as Tamarack Ridge. DISCUSSION This property has been petitioned for annexation to allow for the development of a stormwater pond to serve the property being developed by James Development on the south side of County Road 66. James Development has a purchase agreement to acquire this property however it is currently owned by Sprute/Severson. Under Minnesota Statutes 414.033 Subd.2(3), a property owner can petition the City to annex property up to 60 acres in size that is contiguous to the City. The City can annex this property by ordinance after providing 30 day notice and holding a public hearing. Since the majority of this property is in the floodplain, no development is proposed other than the creation of a stormwater management pond. Development of this pond will need to comply with all applicable requirements. BUDGET IMPACT None ACTION REOUESTED If the Council wishes to consider this property owner initiated annexation petition, it should authorize the scheduling of a public hearing for June 5, 2000 and to provide the required certified mail notice to Empire Township and the abutting property owners.

City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.ct.farmington.mn.us lOci FROM: SUBJECT: Mayor, Council members, City Administrato'f~ Robin Roland, Finance Director TO: Eureka Township Fire Contract Reimbursement Request DATE: April 17, 2000 INTRODUCTION Cheryl Schindeldecker, Chair of the Eureka Town Board has submitted a request for a refund of fire contract fees that the Township overpaid in 1996 and 1997. DISCUSSION The Fire Service contract formula which applies to Eureka, Empire and Castle Rock Townships involves a usage component and a tax capacity value component to reach an average percentage to allocate the applicable costs back to the City and Townships. The usage component is dependent on the calls, man-hours and equipment hours spent on each call in each jurisdiction in a year. The tax capacity value component uses the tax capacity value supplied by the county for those plats described in each Township's respective contract. In computing the Fire Service charges for the years ending December 31, 1996 and 1997 an error occurred associated with the tax capacity value for Eureka Township. Instead of using the tax capacity value for only those selected sections of Eureka stated in their contract, the total tax capacity for the entire Township was used. This resulted in Eureka being over charged in 1996 by $11,549 and in 1997 by $13,029. A worksheet showing the revised computations is attached with this memo, as well as Ms Schindeldecker's letter As the fire contract formula is dependent on percentages, the decrease to Eureka's respective portion results in increases to the other three entities. In other words, if Eureka was overcharged, then the three other entities were undercharged. The analysis worksheet reflects this. Empire and Castle Rock Townships have been contacted with a request to pay the amounts identified as underpayments for 1996 and 1997. BUDGET IMPACT Any reimbursement to Eureka Township would be an additional unbudgeted expense in 2000. The gross amount of the requested refund is $24,578. This refund would be partially offset by the recovery of underpayments from Empire and Castle Rock. A budget reappropriation for this expenditure will be submitted to Council in November of this year. Adequate funds are available to underwrite this expenditure. ACTION REQUIRED Consider Eureka Township's Fire Contract reimbursement request. ;?;4Z! Robin Roland Finance Director TOWN OF EUREKA Ms. Robin S. Roland Finance Director City of Farmington 325 Oak Street Farmington, MN 55024 Dear Robin: Thank you very much for meeting with Ray Kadlec and I on March 6th to discuss the Eureka Township fire billing overpayments for the years 1996 and 1997. An error in calculation was made for 1996 and 1997 charges. The charge for 1996 should have been $17,193. Eureka paid a total of$28,751, resulting in an overpayment of$II,558. The charge for 1997 should have been $31,377. Eureka paid a total of $44,360, resulting in an overpayment of $13,023. These two overpayments total $24,581. Attached are copies of pages from Farmington's 1996 and 1997 Annual Fire Reports that we used, as well as a table showing the tax capacities, by section, for the protected area (18 sections only). The tax capacity information for the table was obtained from the Dakota County Assessor's Office. We applied the tax capacity information for only 18 sections (not the entire Township as was done in 1996 and 1997) and computed the above numbers. At the Annual Meeting of the Town of Eureka held on March 14th, a motion was made, second, and passed that the Town Board request a check in the amount of $24,581. If you have any questions or I can be of further assistance, do not hesitate to call me at your convenience at 612-348-3756.

Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Neighborhood Parking Restrictions Request - Westlyn Court DATE: April 17, 2000 INTRODUCTION Staff has received a petition from the residents ofWestlyn Court requesting placement of signs prohibiting parking in the court during school hours. DISCUSSION Council granted a similar request in 1997 for the residents in Westwood Court. As was the case in Westwood Court, high school students are parking in the court in order to circumvent the need to obtain a parking permit in the high school parking lot. The residents of the area have unanimously requested the installation of the no parking signs due to the inconvenience caused by the student vehicles parked in the court. Residents have been informed that parking restrictions will be enforced for any vehicles in violation of the new restrictions. BUDGET IMPACT The cost of the no parking signs fall within the Street Division's budget for 2000. ACTION REOUESTED Authorize the installation of the "No Parking During School Hours" signs in Westlyn Court. Respectfully submitted, ;;z: nr)Y/~YVY'-- Lee M. Mann, P .E.

Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Citizen Petition - Nelsen Hills Residents DATE: April 17, 2000 INTRODUCTION Attached is a resident petition regarding stop signs at the intersection of Esquire Way and Essence Trail. DISCUSSION Staff has previously responded to one of the concerned residents regarding this issue. Based on the previous analysis performed last year at Everest Path and Esquire Way, staff has indicated that stop sign warrants would not be met at the intersection of Esquire way and Essence Trail. Subsequently, the residents in the area submitted the attached petition to the City Council outlining their concerns in detail. It is staff s understanding that several residents will be in attendance at the Council meeting. BUDGET IMPACT Costs associated with the traffic engineer's review time and staff analysis time of the subject intersection. ACTION REQUESTED Council authorization to have the City's traffic engineer review the intersection at Esquire Way and Essence Trail in order to provide a recommendation addressing the concerns raised in the resident's petition. Respectfully submitted, ~)11~ Lee M. Mann, P.E. Director of Public Works/City Engineer cc: file Steve Carraro 04/11/00 TUE 12:13 FAX 16516813972 SUN COUNTRY ~001 To: Farmington City Council From: Residents of Farmington Re: Safety at the intersection of Essence Trail, Esquire Way and Daisy Knoll Park Date: 04/6/00 We the residents of Nelsen Hills, City of Farmington are making a request out of concern for the safety of our children and other residents of our area. Daisy Knoll Park at the intersections of Essence Trail and Esquire Way has become a popular area for children. In order to preserve the safety of this area we would like to request 4 stop signs at the intersections near this park. Even with drivers maintaining the speed limit, 30 MPH is just to fast for drivers to stop quickly enough. Many drivers are unaware that a park is even in the area. One idea would be to have the police patrol that area more often. This would be a band-aide fix. We would rather have our tax dollars go to 4 stops signs with a one time cost of no more than $300. If you calculate the cost of patrolling that area for the above stated reason or by investing our tax dollars for four stop signs you can see the financial gain of doing this. But, cost should not be a factor for the safety of our children and the residents. I am under the understanding that this intersection does not meet the State of Minnesota's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The question that you need to ask yourself is, "do we act on what policies say or on what is best for the conservation of life". To us that is an easy answer. Policies are meant to be challenged with the changing oftimes and with the growth of an area. On the following page you will see signatures from concerned residents of Nelsen Hills and the City of Farmington. # L rE f/)flIVJU 111 oM 5 fe IX {:. rrctr4. fD f /...
