Native Minnesotans and early pioneers depended upon existing
forests to survive in often harsh, yet beautiful land, as do
Minnesota's current residents and landowners; and,
The old-growth red and white pine forests in the North, the
mature hardwood forests of the Southeast, and the oak
savannahs bordering the prairies in the South and West
continue to change; and,
Trees in Minnesota continue to struggle due to insect pests,
diseases, severe weather extremes, and human activities
including pollution, construction damage, vandalism, and
neglect; and,
Citizens must become stewards of their own environment by
planting, maintaining, and protecting trees, so that the benefits
which trees provide throughout their life cycles continue to
improve the quality of life that Minnesotans enjoy.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD RISTOW, Mayor of the City of Farmington,

SUBJECT: Facilities Task Force - Schedule Council Workshop Date
DATE: April 3, 2000
INTRODUCTION
With the distribution of the Public Facilities Task Force Final Report at this evening's meeting,
Council may wish to schedule a Council workshop to meet with the Task Force and the Housing
and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) for the purpose of comprehensively reviewing Final
Report recommendations.
DISCUSSION
As the Task Force has recommended a key public financing strategy that would involve the
HRA, the need to include the HRA Board at this workshop would consequently be especially
desirable. The Task Force has also approved Mayor Ristow's suggestion to schedule a public
information meeting prior to the workshop to allow citizens the opportunity to learn more about
the public facilities task force and the process leading to these final recommendations.
ACTION REOUESTED

informational meeting beginning at 6:00 p.m. to 6:55 p.m. in the Council Chambers. The date

Preliminary Plat. The plat is a continuation of the Charleswood PUD and single-
family development occurring to the south of the existing 1 st and 2nd Additions.
The 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat consists of 163 single-family lots on 56.67
acres of land divided into two phases. The first phase will contain approximately
65 lots with the second phase containing approximately 93 lots.
b)
A number of issues need to be resolved before submittal of the final plat
including:
1. The easterly connection of 203 rd Street at CSAH 31 is a condition of
approval for Phase 2;
2. Easements need to be provided. for the existing trunk sanitary sewer and
storm sewer on the east side of the project;
3. Wetland mitigation areas and parkland need to be platted as outlots;
4. Approval from the gas company for the grading of Outlot A;
5. Approval of the Wetland Mitigation Plan;
6. The final grading plan will need to include the required flood plain
mitigation;
7. All City engineering requirements will need to be met before approval will
be granted for the fmal construction plans.
The City adopted a new wetland ordinance in June of 1999 that identifies
protected waters and wetlands within the City in accordance with the guidelines
of the MN Wetland Conservation Act of 1991. The basis of the WCA is to
require the developer and the Local Governing Unit to follow a process to avoid,
minimize or impact wetlands during development. The developer is proposing
.67 acres of wetland fill along with .45 acres of wetland excavation for a total of
1.12 acres of wetland disturbance. In exchange, the developer is proposing 1.35

c) Consider Resolution - Supporting Increased Transportation Funding
Mayor Ristow received infonnation from Invest 2000, a coalition comprised of
building and contracting advocates, the Minnesota Transportation Alliance and
the Highway Construction Industry Council for increased transportation funding.

transportation elements. MOTION by Cordes, second by Strachan adopting
RESOLUTION R18-00 calling for increased public spending on state highways.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
d) Consider Resolution - Conveyance of Property to State of Minnesota
Autumn Glen, a proposed residential subdivision adjacent to Akin Park Estates,
proposes to incorporate a previously tax forfeited parcel into their subdivision. In
order for this to occur, the City Council needs to transfer the parcel back to the
State of Minnesota and then the HRA would apply to the State to have the parcel
conveyed to the HRA which in turn would be conveyed to the developer of the
proposed subdivision. Mr. Larry Frank, Arcon Development, stated they do not
need the outlot, but as the City cannot use it, it will be added to the back of the
adjacent lots. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Cordes adopting
RESOLUTION R19-00 approving the reconveyance of Outlot D, Akin Park
Estates to the State of Minnesota and requesting that the State convey legal
ownership to the Farmington HRA. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

City Council Workshop
Farmington City Hall, Conference Room A
Tuesday, March 14, 2000
Special Meeting Minutes
The meeting was convened on March 14,2000 in City Hall Conference Room A at 7:00 p.m. for
purposes associated with reviewing project bids and financial data for the 2000 Streetscape
Project.
In attendance: Council members Cordes, Soderberg, Strachan and Verch
Absent: Mayor Ristow
Also in attendance: City Administrator Erar, City Engineer Mann, Finance Director Roland and
Assistant City Engineer Auge
Councilmember Strachan, as acting Mayor, called the meeting to order at 7:00. The workshop
agenda was approved as presented.
Acting Mayor Strachan asked staff to begin the workshop by presenting project information. City
Engineer Mann began by presenting information on the project bids received by the City. In total
four bids were received from qualified bidders. The low bid submitted was from American
Liberty Construction totaling $751,700. This bid, while higher than previous Feasibility Study
estimates, is still lower than the bids rejected by Council last year, and includes a number of
significant design changes from the original project. City Engineer Mann explained that
mobilization costs, installing concrete under the pavers, an alternative to replace all the curb, and
water main improvements were identified through the project design phase. These
improvements, according to staff, will improve the quality and aesthetics of the overall project.
Council members asked Mr. Mann a number of questions associated with paver stabilization,
mobilization costs as it pertained to business access and the exact nature of the water main
improvements. It was pointed out that a number of these costs would be paid from other sources,
such as water service improvements to the Exchange Bank Building that would be paid for by
the developer. Council thanked City Engineer Mann for his review and the design improvements
that will be made to the project.
Director Roland then explained the fiscal implications associated with the increased project
costs. Essentially, while the costs to the project have increased, the City has the ability to shift
bond proceeds from the County Road 72 Turnback Project to the 2000 Streetscape Project.
According to financial data presented to Council, CR 72 came in significantly under budget,
which allowed the City to shift approximately $300,000 to the Streetscape Project. Allowing for
this shift of bond proceed revenue to the Streetscape Project, the CR 72 project still retains over
$200,000 over project expenses that will be designated to the Street Reconstruction Fund (Road
& Bridge) fund balance. Financial cash flows referencing the 2000 Streetscape were identified
in two separate categories-Non-Utility improvement and Utility improvements. Council asked a
number of detailed financial questions and thanked Finance Director Roland for her very
thorough review.
Administrator Erar presented information on the effect the increased project costs would have on
special assessments to benefiting properties. It was explained that under the Council's Special
Assessment Policy, and state statute, that benefiting properties could not be assessed for
improvements exceeding what the appraised value those improvements would have on the
properties. According to the appraised estimates of value conferred on subject properties, the
City could not increase the special assessments above the amounts identified in the Feasibility
Report. Consequently, special assessments would be capped at $362,905 as originally presented.
The difference of $125,258 in special assessments would be underwritten through the additional
bond revenues identified by Director Roland. This action by Council is consistent with Council
policy and state statute, and does not provide any property owner with any special benefit
associated with the reduction of special assessments as identified.
Council asked a variety of questions associated with maintaining consistency in special
assessment policies and the need to ensure that special assessments be legally defensible if
challenged. Administrator Erar indicated that the City Attorney recommended that the City
Council not exceed the original special assessment amounts given the independent appraisal of
benefit value. Council concurred that special assessments should be capped at the previous
amounts as specified.
Council member Soderberg questioned the special assessment methodology to be used in the
project and requested that further information be provided between the front footage
methodology and per unit basis citing his concerns that all properties in the project area be
assessed in accordance with the benefit they will receive from the project improvements. Staff
indicated that the direction provided by Council , as reported in past meeting minutes, suggested
that front footage be used for the Streetscape portion of the project and the per unit basis be used
for the sanitary sewer slip line improvements.
Administrator Erar confirmed that Council has not formally adopted final assessments, and that
the methodology is still a reviewable issue by Council. It was suggested that a Council
Workshop could be held in the next 60-90 days to review the two methodologies relative to the
Streetscape improvements. Council indicated that it was important that properties be discussed in
a very objective manner, and that the methodology issues be framed in terms of defensibility and
appropriate property cost sharing in project benefits.
In terms of moving the project forward to the March 20, 2000 Council meeting, Council
members expressed consensus that the project be advanced.
Meeting adjourned at 7:45

SUBJECT: Capital Outlay - Public Works Department
DATE: April 3, 2000
INTRODUCTION
The 2000 Budget provides for the acquisition of a Sewer Jetter by the Public Works
Department. It is proposed that the City acquire a V ACTOR 2115-36 1500 Gallon
Combination Sewer Cleaner (Sewer Jetter).
DISCUSSION
It is recommended that the City purchase the Sewer Jetter through the State Bid process.
The primary reason for this recommendation is to insure that the City receives the highest
quality equipment pursuant to City specifications. The risk that is inherent in the bidding
process is that several manufacturers can bid the same set of specifications and
theoretically offer substantially equivalent equipment while in fact, the quality of the
product can vary greatly. The equipment offered in the State Bid is the exact equipment
the City wants to acquire.
In addition, City staffhas contacted several surrounding communities and received strong
recommendations advocating the use of the State Bid process and confirming the make
and model Sewer Jetter that the City wants to acquire.
Upon review and analysis of Sewer Jetter models along with discussions with other cities
regarding their experiences, it has become apparent that the City needs to purchase a
higher capacity Jetter than was planned for in the 2000 budget. The State bid received
for the Sewer Jetter the City wants to acquire is $225,600 including tax. The budgeted
amount for the Sewer Jetter in the 2000 budget is $170,000.
The Jetter that was quoted. for the 2000 budget has one-third the capacity of the
V ACTOR equipment and does not include various desired safety and mechanical
features. Staff s research with other cities and operators of this type of equipment
indicates that the additional capacity and features of the V ACTOR equipment are
necessary and will provide for more efficient, cost-effective operations and lower
maintenance costs over time.
BUDGET IMPACT
The budgeted amount for the Sewer Jetter is $170,000. The cost of this piece of
equipment is to be split between the Sanitary Sewer Fund and the Storm Sewer Fund.
The State bid amount for the V ACTOR 2115-36 1500 gallon Combination Sewer Cleaner
is $225,600, including tax, a difference of $55,600 from the budgeted amount. The
amount allocated to each of the two funds would be $112,800. The Finance Director has
indicated that the Sanitary Sewer Fund and the Storm Sewer Fund have sufficient capital
to fund this expenditure.
ACTION REQUESTED
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing staff to acquire the V ACTOR 2115-361500
Gallon Combination Sewer Cleaner through the State Bid process.
Respectfully submitted,

Ordinance Amendment
Seasonal Parking
DATE:
April 3, 2000
INTRODUCTION
During the original approval and publication of the Seasonal Parking Ordinance a typographical error was
made in Section 9-1-9, Parking Limitation. This amendment will serve to correct that error. In addition
staff is requesting a housekeeping amendment to the ordinance.
DISCUSSION
During discussions of the Seasonal Parking Ordinance Council was clear in authorizing restricted parking
from November 1 to April 15 each year. When the fmal version of the ordinance was published it
contained language that prohibited parking between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM "any day of the year". Staff
has worked with the City Attorney to prepare an amendment to the ordinance with appropriate corrections.
In addition, when adopting the ordinance, Council provided for Seasonal Permits to be issued "until April
I, 2000". The use of Seasonal Permits was to be sunsetted, with no provision for use in subsequent years.
As a matter of housekeeping, staff is recommending the amendment of Section 9-1-12(E) to remove
paragraph 2, the Seasonal Permit clause.
ACTION REQUESTED
Amend Sections 9-1-9 and 9-1-12(E) of the Farmington City Code as presented.

INTRODUCTION I DISCUSSION
The Police Department is planning to send two certified Firearms Instructors to specialized training in the
use of "Less Lethal" use of force technology. This training would then allow the officers to instruct other
existing staff members, as well as future new members, in the use of a Less Lethal response in use of force
situations.
Under the Police Department's current Use of Force Continuum an officer has the option of using a
variety of techniques, including verbal techniques, physical restraint, chemical irritant, or baton depending
on the level of force used against the officer. However, at this point the officer has limited options when
confronted by a suspect who is using or attempting to use deadly force. An officer must choose between
the use of ineffective lower levels of force at close range or resort to the use of deadly force from a
distance.
Less Lethal technology is an intermediate step in the existing Use of Force continuum between the baton
and deadly force. Less lethal technology includes such things as rubber bullet or beanbag projectiles. It
allows an officer to confront a suspect, who is using or threatening the use of deadly force, from a safe
distance, with an effective, non-lethal option.
BUDGET IMPACT
Funding for this training is included in the 2000 budget.

Council 2000 Goal-Setting Workshop - Set Workshop Date
April 3, 2000
INTRODUCTION
DATE:
In April 1999, the Council held a goal-setting workshop to identify specific policy issues that needed to
. be addressed over the following twelve months. Since that time, staff has made significant progress in
achieving these goals as articulated by Council. A final report will be distributed at the proposed
work session for Council review and comment regarding outcomes and status.
This upcoming work session 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. The accomplishment of these goals, as in the previous
year, would then be monitored throughout the subsequent year, with a final report transmitted to
Council upon completion.
DISCUSSION
Attached, please find a draft copy of proposed Council 2000 Goal Setting items that have been
generated at the staff level for Council review and discussion. These issues have been brought to
staffs attention through a variety of sources including comprehensive plan visioning sessions,
local service issues and/or by specific Council request. The annual goal-setting work session will
provide Council with the opportunity to fully explore and discuss policy issues that may have
broad community implications. In addition, please feel free to contact me with any suggestions
or thoughts relative to other policy goals that could be included in the workshop.
In order to address these issues in the most efficient manner possible, it is suggested that this
workshop be scheduled on a week-end to accommodate Council work schedules and allow for an
uninterrupted day of deliberations. In review of an appropriate date, staff is proposing two
potential dates; Saturday, April 29, or Saturday, May 6, 2000 in the Council Chambers, with the
workshop beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 3:30 p.m. Refreshments and lunch will be
provided.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve the Council 2000 Goal-Setting Workshop for Saturday, April 29, 2000 from 9:00 a.in.
to 3:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers.

Consider Ordinance Amendment - Murphy Farm PUD AmendmentIMUSA
Redesignation
DATE:
April 3, 2000
INTRODUCTION
D R Horton and Arcon Development Inc. have entered into a purchase agreement with Genstar Land
Company to purchase an additional 35 acres directly to the south of the recently approved 21 O-acre piece
known as the Murphy Farm PUD owned by D R Horton and Arcon. Because the 35-acre piece was not a
part of the original submittal ofthe Murphy Farm PUD, a separate public hearing for this site is required.
The 35-acre piece is located east of CSAH 31, south of the approved Murphy Farm PUD and north of
Middle Creek and the Farmington Industrial Park. The developers propose a continuation of the multi-
family housing product from the north along CSAH 31. The developer proposes the R-3 PUD zoning to
coincide with the Murphy Farm PUD approved by the City Council on February 7, 2000.
DISCUSSION
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 to 252 two-story villa townhome units.
This total number may fluctuate depending upon the finalization of a floodplain delineation study
currently underway along the southern boundary of the site.
The 204 additional villa units are proposed to be constructed on approximately 23 acres. With the
addition of the 92 villas on 12 acres, the proposed density is 7.2 dulac falling into the medium-density
residential land use category. An open space/park area is proposed for the remainder of the 35 acres.
The 35-acre site is not within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA); therefore platting of the
property will not commence until MUSA is obtained.
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
homeowners association.
Water access is located at the newly constructed City water tower and access is required from Vermillion
Grove north of the Murphy Farm PUD. Sewer is available from the newly installed Middle Creek
sanitary sewer line along the southern portion of the property. A 100- foot wide gas line easement runs
north and south through the eastern portion of the 35-acre site. No structures may be located within the
easement.
Site topography slopes from higher ground on the northern portion of the site to a floodplain at the
southern edge of the 35-acres. The drainage pattern generally funnels towards Middle Creek.
Manage 2 wetlands are classified over half of the 35-acre site on the southerly portion of the property.
Manage 2 wetlands have usually been altered by human activities. This area shows a cultivated field on
the existing conditions plan submitted by the Developer.
The FEMA floodplain for Middle Creek is also identified on the existing conditions map submitted by
the developer. The floodplain encompasses a large portion of the southern boundary of the 35-acre site.
A floodplain delineation study is currently underway.
Park & Recreation Issues
The Developer proposes approximately 17 acres of open space/park area within the 35-acre site.
Included with the 14 additional acres recently approved, the Developer proposes approximately 31 acres
of open space/park area along the southern edge of the Murphy Farm PUD. The open space/park area
has been identified within the FEMA floodplain. At this time, staff recommends that park siting issues
be delayed until the environmental assessment 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
100-year floodplain.
Housing Characteristics
The Developer proposes to construct the villa unit as a continuation of the units within the recently
approved Murphy Farm PUD. The villas are proposed at $110-125,000 and are two-story, 8 to 10-unit
buildings.
MUSA Redesignation Issue
The City received a request from DR Horton! Arcon Development to expand the Metropolitan Urban
Service Area (MUSA) to include approximately 6.4 acres ofthe 35-acre Genstar Property.
The reason for the Developer's request is to provide an access for the 48 villa townhomes within the
existing MUSA area (see Exhibit G). MUSA is not required for the roadway installation, but it is
required for townhomes to be connected to sanitary sewer. The townhomes within the current MUSA
may be accessed without expanding the MUSA into the highlighted area.
The advantage of expanding MUSA into this area is to allow the Developer to construct additional units
to offset the costs of the roadway. The Developer proposes an additional 58 villa townhomes within the
6.5 acres of MUSA expansion.
Riverbend - Genstar Land Company
Genstar Land Company owns approximately 160 acres in the northeast portion of the City. Genstar is
interested in a swap with their existing MUSA acres in Riverbend (see Exhibit H) to their proposed acres
in the Murphy Farm PUD (see Exhibit I). The north branch of the Vermillion River and its floodplain
takes up a large portion of the Riverbend property while approximately 125 acres remains developable.
2
As shown on the attached map, the northeastern portion of Riverbend consists of approximately 5.72
acres, however the Developer proposes that after a floodplain determination has been made
approximately 45 acres of developable land may be available. No development is proposed in this
location until after 2005.
City Staff Approval
City staff recommends approval of the MUSA request for the following reasons:
1. 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. At this time, 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.
Planning Commission - March 14, 2000
The Planning Commission reviewed the Murphy Farm PUD Amendment and MUSA Redesignation at
their March 14,2000 meeting. The Planning Commission approved the amendment for the 35-acre piece
contingent on the land acquisition from the Genstar Land Company, the delineation of the floodplain and
the acceptance of the location of a neighborhood park by the Parks & Recreation Commission.
The Planning Commission reviewed the MUSA expansion information with the understanding that the
Commission only forward a recommendation of favorable or unfavorable response to the City Council
concerning the expansion of MUSA. At the meeting, the Planning Commission forwarded a favorable
response to the swapping of MUSA from the Riverbend property to the Murphy Farm property because
the same company currently owns both properties creating no conflicts with redesignating the MUSA
elsewhere within their owned properties.
ACTION REOUESTED
Consider adoption of the attached ordinance 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 & Recreation Commission.
Consider authorization of the redesignation of MUSA from the Riverbend property to the Murphy Farm
property and direct City staff to begin the MUSA redesignation process with the Metropolitan Council.

The Murphy Farm P.U.D. is a proposed residential development in the City of Farmington on
approximately 210 acres. The development proposes approximately 451 residential units on the
property. The proposal offers a variety of residential housing products, ranging from 'villa' units
at a density of approximately 8-10 DU/ Acre, 'townhouse' units at a density of 4-6 DU/ Acre,
single family lots at a density of approximately 2 DU/ Acre and executive single family lots at a
density of approximately 1.4 DU/Acre. Of the 210 acres, approximately 73 will be maintained as
permanent open space. The overall density of Murphy Farm P.D.D. is 3.2 units per acre.

The Murphy Farm P.U.D. site is characterized by rolling topography, scattered deciduous
woodlots, three major wetland complexes and a long, flat draw running north and south through
the west ~ of the site. This draw contains a narrow drainage ditch that provides an outlet for the
northerly wetland south to a main east/west ditch (Middle Creek) that runs along the south
boundary of the Murphy property. These physical characteristics, topography, vegetation and
wetlands, provide a natural separation and buffer between the different product types proposed
withing the Murphy Farm P.D.D.
The property is currently under the ownership of Mr. Bernard Murphy and will be purchased
from Mr. Murphy by a Joint Venture ofD. R. Horton and Arcon Development, Inc. The ultimate
ownership of the property within the Murphy Farm P.D.D. will be a combination of individual
homeowners, homeowners associations and the City of Farmington. Maintenance of all the land
within the P.D.D. will also be the responsibility of these three entities. Along with the variety of
housing types proposed, the development will retain three significant wetland complexes on-site,
create a combination wetland/pond/open space corridor (approximately 14 acres) and designate
additional open space/park areas (273:. acres) Within the site (totaling 73 acres). There are several
scattered deciduous woodlot areas on-site, and the site-plan was developed to retain as many of
these areas as possible through unit type and location.
The primary access to Murphy Farm P.D.D. will be offC.S.A.H. 31 (Pilot Knob Road). There
will be an east/west neighborhood collector street through the north ~ of the site and a
north/south neighborhood collector allowing connections to the properties north and south of the
development. Additionally, there will be internal neighborhood streets within Murphy Farm
P.D.D. and a direct access to Akin Road for the executive single family lots on the east side of
the property. Sanitary sewer is presently on-site and water main will be brought south along Pilot
Knob Road from the new Farmington water tower site. The development will be responsible for
storm water detention on-site following the City of Farmington Surface Water Management Plan
(1997). Public utilities; electricity, natural gas, telephone and cable T.V. will be provided to the
development by the appropriate utility companies.
The Murphy Farm P.D.D. will be developed in phases over a 4-5 year period. The proposal will
call for a minimum of two different product types available at all times during the development
process. The development plan calls for approximately 163 single-family lots to be developed.
The anticipated population breakdown for typical single family residential is 3.5 people per
household, representing approximately 1.5 children per single family home. The anticipated
population breakdown for the approximate 136 townhouse units is 2.1 people per townhouse and
0.2 children per unit. The anticipated population breakdown for the approximate 152 villa units
is 1.8 people per villa unit and 0.1 children per unit. These totals result in approximately 287
children and 1,443 adults in the estimated 451 households residing in the Murphy Farm P.D.D.
D.R. Horton and Arcon Development, Inc. have agreed to purchase from Genstar Land Company
Midwest approximately 34.67 acres directly east of Pilot Knob Road in the southwest comer of
the Murphy Farm P.D.D. A major portion of this 34.67 acre parcel is under cultivation, except
for a stand of trees along the north property line adjacent to the Murphy Farm property. This
additional parcel is proposed to be multi-family, 8/10 units per acre, to coincide with proposed
adjacent land uses. Access for this parcel will be from Pilot Knob Road by a proposed street that
will line up with a future street in the Genstar P.D.D.

SUBJECT: Consider Contribution - Dakota City Heritage Village
DATE: April 3, 2000
INTRODUCTION
Dakota City is requesting a donation for the Friends of the Village program.
DISCUSSION
Dakota City's Friends of the Village program is requesting that the City join individuals
and families who made donations in 1999, so that they may continue to improve Dakota
City and its programs. Their goal for this year is $35,000 which will allow for the
continuance of existing programs and permit newly proposed projects.
BUDGET IMPACT
This request is new and is not currently in the 2000 budget.

Deal JOl-IN,
The Friends of the Village program is in its fifth year of providing funds to help Dakota
City develop its program, collection and facilities. Over the past four years, this fund has
enabled Dakota City to accomplish some significant goals.
Projects funded through Friends of the Village include:
. Moving and restoring the Harris House
. Restoring the Oil Station
. Constructing new museum exhibits, Winter in Minnesota, 150 Years of Dakota
County, Death and Mourning in 1900, and History of the Dakota County Fair.
. Funding architectural schematic drawings and cost estimates for making the
museum a year round facility and constructing the farm machinery exhibit barn.
. Purchasing significant additions to the collection, such as the mail wagon and a
Hoosier cabinet
. Making a promotional video of Dakota City
. Funding the first year for the new program, Grand History Days
. Adding heat to the Drug Store and linotype room of the Print Shop
This year our goal for Friends of the Village is $35,000. This year we hope that you will
join the individuals and families who were Friends of the Village in 1999, so that we can
continue to improve Dakota City and its programs. Several ambitious projects are
planned for this year.
An exciting hew program this past year was the Dakota Chautauqua, which was funded
by the county. This year we have both the challenge and opportunity of making the
chautauqua an annual part of the programs offered by Dakota City. In order to provide
daily performances during the fair without charging the public, we need financial
assistance from Friends of the Village.
P.O. Box 73. Farmington, MN 55024 .(651) 460-8050
Another exciting new addition to the village is a program that will bring to life people
from the past who lived in Dakota County about a hundred years ago. They will be
roving the village during the week of the fair and other Dakota City special events like
the Village Christmas.
Another important need is new horse drawn people mover wagons. The current ones
have been in use since1984, have seriously deteriorated, and need replacement.
The following are projects that Friends of the Village can make happen through their
generous contributions this year.
. Produce Dakota Chautauqua 2000
· Fund new horse drawn wagons for transporting visitors around the village.
· Bring to life persons from Dakota County's past through dramatic re-enactment
· Buy reproduction ceiling fans for the library and barber shop.
· Purchase a large wall clock for the bank.
· Purchase an ice box, lights, and cook stove for the Harris House.
. Rebuild the chicken house.
· Dave a survey done to help improve our marketing.
· Purchase tools for carrying out restoration work on village buildings.
Last year 143 individuals/families and 20 corporate/fraternal organizations were
contributors. This year our goal is to increase the number of "Friends" by 20%. Please
help up preserve the past for the new millennium by becoming a "Friend of the Village".
All contributions are tax deductible.
Enclosed is a magnetized calendar for 2000 to keep our dates handy for you. We hope
you will find time to enjoy Dakota City programs this year.
We look forward to having you as a "Friend",
Thank you,

SUBJECT: Metropolitan Council Action - Comprehensive Plan Updates
DATE: April 3, 2000
INTRODUCTION
The Metropolitan Council approved the Comprehensive Plan Updates for the City of
Farmington and Empire Township at their March 22, 2000 meeting.
DISCUSSION
The Metropolitan Council acted to approve the Comprehensive Plan update for Empire
Township subject to the conditions recommended by their staff. This information was
provided to the Council at March 20, 2000 meeting. In addition, the Metropolitan
Council also required language be incorporated that stipulates that Empire Township will
work with Dakota County and cities of Lakeville and Farmington on the Central Area
East- West Corridor study to identify the alignment of the next principal arterial south of
Co. Rd. 42. The action by the Metropolitan Council was taken in spite of the concerns
expressed by Mayor Ristow and City Administrator Erar regarding the impacts of
continued urbanization in Empire Township on the City of Farmington.
The Metropolitan Council also took action on the City's Comprehensive Plan. The only
stipulation or condition of the City's approval requires that the City report annually on its
use of the undesignated MUSA reserve. 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 now commence the process of coordinating the necessary zoning text and map
modifications that will be required in order to be consistent with the approved
Comprehensive Plan.

Proposed Action/Motion
That the Metropolitan Council adopt the attached Review Record and recommendation.
Issues
Should the Council permit the city to place its plan into effect even though it has forecasts higher (275 households)
than the Council's? Is the city protecting lands not currently in the MUSA for future urban development?
Overview and Funding
Farmington is ranked 16th in anticipated growth to 2020. In 1998, Farmington had 10,563 people in 3,656
households, and in 1997, it had an estimated 3,412 jobs. Farmington is a Livable Communities Act (LCA)
participant. The Regional Growth Strategy identifies the city of Farmington as partially within the existing 2000
Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) with the remainder of the city designated as urban reserve. The original
city center is located west of State Trunk Highway (STH) 3 and north of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 50.
Development has moved east of STH 3 and south of CSAH 50 over the years. More recently, a second urban node
has developed on the north end of the community on both sides of Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31). This second urban
development node has occurred because of intervening wetlands and floodplains of the Vermillion River.
Farmington's plan is consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy and the city's forecasts are slightly higher, but
consistent, with Council forecasts. The city anticipates expanding the city limits by annexing lands covered in an
Orderly Annexation agreement with Empire Township. The annexation will add 989 acres to the city by 2020.
Densities in new residential developments are proposed to average 3.4 units per acre. The plan proposes to use
undesignated MUSA reserve (floating MUSA), which will incrementally add 1,620 acres (including the annexation
area) to its existing MUSA by 2020. The city does not allow rural development on lands designated for future urban
uses and protects those lands with one unit per 40 acres zoning.
Farmington's plan is in conformity with the regional system plans for aviation, recreation open space, transportation
and wastewater services. Staff recommends that the Council permit the Farmington 2020 comprehensive plan
update to be put into effect as proposed and that no plan modification be required. City officials and city staff
should be commended for their cooperation and excellence in their planning effort.
In December 1998, the Council provided the city with a planning assistance grant for $12,090 to help underwrite
some of the city's costs of updating its comprehensive plan.
LINKAGE TO COUNCIL STRATEGIES
o Infrastructure: There are adequate capacities to accommodate the planned growth in Farmington through
2005, at which time expansion of the Empire WWTP is proposed to be in place.
o Quality of life: City has well defined central business district and unique image that contributes to a sense
of place, which is a fundamental attribute of neo-traditional and smart growth planning.
o Communication/constituency building: Would help to contain sprawl as proposed.

ATT ACHMENT A: REVIEW RECORD
REVIEW OF THE CITY OF FARMINGTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
BACKGROUND
The city of Farmington is a fast growing suburban edge-city located in central Dakota County,
immediately east of Lakeville and south of Apple Valley and Rosemount. The city is 7,886 acres (12
square miles) in area. In 1998, Farmington had 10,563 people in 3,656 households, and in 1997 it had an
estimated 3,412jobs. According to Council forecasts, Farmington should plan to accommodate 26,100
people in 9,400 households and 6,600 jobs by 2020. It ranks 16th among communities in the region in
forecasted household growth for the period 2000 to 2020. In 1998, the Council approved an expansion of
Farmington's MUSA, which added 1,109 total acres (824 developable acres) to the city's MUSA. The
city's 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update establishes policies to guide growth to the year 2020 and replaces
the former comprehensive plan, adopted in 1982.
AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW
The Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act requires local units of government to submit comprehensive
plans and plan amendments to the Council for review and comment (MN. Stat. ~ 473.864, Subd. 2). The
Council reviews the plans to determine their conformity with metropolitan system plans, apparent
consistency with other adopted plans of the Council, and compatibility with the plans of other local
jurisdictions in the Metropolitan Area, The Council may require a local governmental unit to modify any
comprehensive plan or part thereof, which may have a substantial impact on or contain a substantial
departure from metropolitan system plans (Minn. Stat. ~ 473.175, Subd. 1).
PREVIOUS ACTIONS
The Council reviewed the former comprehensive plan in 1982 and since that time has reviewed 21 plan
amendments including a 1998 plan amendment that expanded the city's MUSA by 1,109 acres, In
December 1998, the Council provided the city with a planning assistance grant for $12,090 to help
underwrite some of the city's costs of updating its comprehensive plan. In addition, the Council awarded
$85,030 to the city in December 1999 as a Tax Base Revitalization Account grant for remediation ofthe
former Elm Park Landfill.
ANALYSIS
Staff reviewed the plan update for conformity with regional system plans for aviation, recreation open
space, transportation and wastewater services, for consistency with the Regional Blueprint and other
chapters of the Metropolitan Development Guide, and for compatibility with the plans of adjacent
governmental units and school districts. Materials received for review included:

Land Use and Local Urban Service Area and Development Staging
The existing urbanized portions of Farmington are located in two areas of the city. The original city
center is located west of STH 3 and north of CSAH 50. Development has moved east of STH 3 and south
ofCSAH 50 over the years. More recently, a second urban node has developed on the north end of the
community on both sides of Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31). This second urban development node has
occurred because of intervening wetlands and floodplain associated with the Vermillion River.
Because of the development constraints imposed by the river and wetlands, future development plans call
for the city to expand easterly into Empire Township. In 1999, the Minnesota Municipal Board approved
an Orderly Annexation agreement (OA) involving 989 acres between Farmington and its easterly
neighbor, Empire Township. The city's comprehensive plan proposes primarily low- and medium-density
residential land uses in the OA area. Development in the area is expected to occur after 2001 when the
existing Agricultural Preserves designation expires. The entire annexation area is owned by the Seed
Family Trust.

Seventy-six percent of the city's existing residential development is single-family, some of which --
approximately 87 units -- are in large-lot, rural estate-type development with individual sewage treatment
systems (ISTS). Multiple-family residential uses provide 18 percent of the city's existing housing supply
and occupy approximately 0.5 percent of the land in the community. Farmington's residential growth
since 1995 has been substantially single-family, causing its ratio of single-family to multiple-family to
increase as noted in the table below. The city reports that "most housing constructed in Farmington to
A-3
Program, which the city calls a Capital Improvement Plan. It meets the requirements of MN Stat.
473.859, Subd, 4 for a five-year CIP by extending from 1999 to 2003.
REGIONAL SYSTEMS
Aviation (Chauncey Case, Transportation and Transit Development, 651-602-1724)
This city's plan adequately addresses the airspace protection requirements and is in conformance with the
Aviation Policy Plan.
Recreation Open Space (Phyllis Hanson, Planning and Growth Management Department, 651-602-
1566)
Farmington's plan is in conformance with the Regional Recreation Open Space System Plan. The city
has no existing or planned regional recreation open space facilities. Farmington has done an excellent job
of inventorying its parks and open spaces and planning for future parks in the city.
Transportation (Kevin Roggenbuck, Transportation and Transit Development, 651-602-1728)
The transportation element of the Farmington comprehensive plan is in conformance with the
Transportation Policy Plan and addresses all applicable transportation and transit requirements.
The roadway functional classification system depicted in the plan includes several planned or future
minor arterials that are not part of the classification system adopted by the Transportation Advisory
Board. Dakota County is undertaking a study of minor arterial and collector roadway needs in the
Lakeville-Farmington-Rosemount area. It is expected to address the best locations for new road
extensions to connect STH 3 with developing areas to the west in Farmington and Lakeville. It is
appropriate for the Council to wait for the results of this study and consider revising the roadway
functional classification network in this part of the county.
Wastewater Services (Donald Bluhm, Manager, Municipal Services, MCES, 651-602-1116)
The comprehensive sewer plan element of the Farmington 2020 comprehensive plan is in conformance
with the Wastewater Services Policy Plan of the Council. The city of Farmington has wastewater
services provided via two metropolitan interceptors, 7409 and 7103. Wastewater from the city is treated
at the Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Staff has reviewed the Farmington plan as well as
the comprehensive plans for the remaining communities tributary to the Empire WWTP. Based on the
total projected flows from all the tributary communities, the Empire WWTP will need to be expanded by
2005. This date is in conformity with the date that the Council approved in its review of the Apple Valley
Comprehensive Plan in September 1999. The Council will program the needed improvements at the plant
to ensure continued services to the communities.
OTHER METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT GUIDE CHAPTERS
Housing (Guy Peterson, Livable Communities Department, 651-602-1418)
The housing element of the Farmington comprehensive plan update is consistent with Council housing
policy and meets the affordable and life-cycle housing requirements of the MLPA
The housing element includes a data section that examines some characteristics of the city's housing
stock, including age and type of unit, as well as current rental housing vacancy rates and rents. The plan
identifies a number of important housing issues facing the community. They include the need to create a
range oflife-cycle housing options given housing preferences and needs at both ends of the age spectrum
in the community, and the city's objective of linking employment and housing with transit-oriented and
pedestrian-friendly development, with the most intense development along major transportation corridors.
The Farmington plan presents a number of housing policies and strategies to support them, including
those that address housing diversification by type, mix and density of development; the application of
residential density standards that will permit more efficient and intense residential land use; housing
maintenance and preservation; housing affordable to people at all income levels and the use of
A-S
expanding the city limits by annexing lands covered in an Orderly Annexation agreement with
Empire Township. The annexation will add 989 acres to the city by 2020. Densities in new
residential development are proposed to average 3.4 units per acre. The plan proposes to use
undesignated MUSA reserve (floating MUSA), which will inc~ementally add 1,620 ac~e~toi!~,
existin~ ~S~.rY 2029
3. The plan is in conformity with the metropolitan system plans for Aviation, Recreation Open Space,
Transportation and Wastewater Services.
4. The housing element of Farmington's comprehensive plan is consistent with regional housing policy.
5. The Farmington 2020 comprehensive plan is generally compatible with the plans of adjacent
governmental units and the school districts. However, the city should continue to work with the
Dakota County Highway Department, Lakeville and Empire Township to decide the best location for
new road extensions to connect developing areas of Farmington with STH 3.
6. Farmington is the traditional freestanding growth center in this part of Dakota County, and continues
to serve as the focal point for urban-type businesses, retail and industry. Smart growth would
encourage higher density residential development adjacent to the central business district core,
regardless of whether the land is in the city or the urbanizing parts of adjacent townships. The
Council should work closely with the city and its neighboring townships to ensure that smart growth
planning goals and policies are embraced and carried out.
RECOMMENDA TIONS
1. That the city of Farmington can put its 2000 Comprehensive Plan Update into effect and no
plan modifications are required.
'2. Farmington must report to the Council annually on its use ofthe undesignated MUSA
reserve. The reporting shall include a map that identifies the location and extent of each
development added to the MUSA and identify the following: project name, type of land use,
gross acres, net acres, units per net acre (net density).

SUBJECT:
Contractor Request - Recycling Service
DATE:
April 3, 2000
INTRODUCTION
The contractor that has the City recycling contract is requesting a temporary rate adjustment.
DISCUSSION
Due to the recent rise in fuel costs, Lakeville Sanitation, the City recycling contractor, is requesting a
temporary rate adjustment. Staff has reviewed the attached 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. The commercial
accounts were very concerned about the rates in the new contract. Lakeville Sanitation worked with
staff to lower the rates for these commercial accounts by restructuring the contract.
. The rate increase will be temporary in nature and last no more than five months (September 30, 2000).
. If the fuel rates decrease lower than $ 1. 3 O/gallon during this period, the rate increase is cancelled.
BUDGET IMPACT
Funds for the increase in rates will be taken from the operations portion of the Solid Waste budget. The
cost to the City would be $347 per month or $1,735 for the five-month period.
RECOMMENDATION
Consider approval of the temporary rate increase to be paid to the recycling contractor.

RE: Request for Fuel Surcharge Adjustment
Dear Lena Larson, Mayor and Councilmembers,
Over the past several months our industry has noticed a steady increase in fuel costs. Our
company has absorbed these increases however, the increased costs have exceeded what our
company can absorb. In turn, Lakeville Sanitary, Inc.lDick's Sanitation, Inc. is requesting a
"Temporary Fuel Surcharge" adjustment of3%. If approved the adjustment would be effective
on this month's billing.
This rate reflects current fuel market increases and will decrease as fuel rates decrease.
We would appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
e:;s-~~

SUBJECT: Flagstaff Avenue - Weight Restrictions
DATE: April 3, 2000
INTRODUCTION
The State's spring weight restrictions are currently in effect for state, county, city and
township roads.
DISCUSSION
The State's spring weight restrictions policy specifies that all city routes that are not
otherwise posted are automatically reduced to a 5- TON axle limit during the time the
restrictions are in place (Refer to the attached MnDOT news release). Currently, 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. State weight restrictions are
scheduled to be lifted towards the end of April.
At the end of April, the County's Cedar Avenue project will commence and the traffic on
Flagstaff Avenue is expected to increase significantly, as was the case during the CSAH
31 project. 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.
Due to the current condition and traffic levels on Flagstaff Avenue and in light of the
additional traffic anticipated due to the Cedar A venue project, it is recommended that
Flagstaff be 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.
BUDGET IMPACT
The signage costs will fall within the budgeted amounts in the 2000 Street division
budget.
ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize by motion the posting of the 5- TON axle limit on Flagstaff Avenue.
Respectfully submitted,

SPRING WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS EFFECTIVE FRIDA Y, FEBRlU$Rl'WWSv.dot.state.mn.us/operations/d6/newsrels/news/000222swrie.html

SPRING WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS EFFECTIVE
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25
ROCHESTER, Minn. - Spring road weight restrictions on state highways
will be in place at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, February 25, in the south,
southeast and central zone, including the Twin City Metro Area, according
to officials at the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT).
The notice has been reduced from seven to three days as part of a new
method being implemented by Mn/DOT to minimize damage to state
roadways. The new method also includes automatically lifting the
restrictions eight weeks after the start date. In addition, all county, city, and
township routes are automatically reduced to 5- TON axle limit during the
times Mn/DOT has set the weight restrictions (this is a change from previous
years). Start date for the NORTH Zone has NOT been determined.
The intent of this new method is to restrict weights at the beginning of the
thaw cycle. Spring is a critical period for roads because the soils and
aggregate materials are weak while the frost leaves the ground.
Through research conducted at the Mn/ROAD pavement research facility
and validated statewide, MnJDOT was able to predict when weakening will
occur using air temperatures currently recorded and forecasted for most of
Minnesota. The new procedure uses a thawing index and a three-day
forecast.
Mn/DOT's analysis indicates that over the past decade the spring restrictions
have been placed a week or so later than they should have been. The
potential savings resulting from the new system are substantial because
statewide about 38,000 miles of paved roads do not meet the 10-ton spring
load design standard.
For more information about spring load restrictions, call 1-800-723-6543 or
check the Mn/ROAD Web Site: http://mnroad.dot.state.mn.us.
