4. COUNCIL REVIEW OF AGENDA
Councilmember Fogarty asked about the projects for 195th Street and Elm Street. Both
are county roads, one project is run by the City and one by the County, but both give the
City indemnification. City Attorney J amnik explained it is mutual indemnification; each
is liable for their own actions.
Councilmember McKnight asked about the storm water utility adjustment policy and
what property it covers. City Engineer Mann explained it could be any property that
requested it. Currently Northern Natural Gas has requested this from the City.
Councilmember McKnight asked about the Bugbee comp plan amendment and if they
were clear they would be a non-conforming use and there can be no changes. Staff
replied they are aware of that. Councilmember McKnight asked about the Twin Ponds
item and recalled it was tabled to January 16. This will be brought back to the January 16
meeting. Councilmember McKnight requested pulling the budget and tax levy for
separate vote.
Councilmember Wilson also asked about the storm water utility adjustment policy. Staff
confirmed Northern Natural Gas has asked for this to be reviewed. Councilmember
Wilson asked about the Elm Street project and if a signal is planned for the entrance to
City Center. City Engineer Mann replied one thing that could be done would be a
Council Minutes (Pre-Meeting)

median, but this would not be done until there is a signal at the intersection of 1 st Street.
Councilmember Wilson then asked for maps on the high school project. He received a
call from a resident with a concern regarding the $30 discontinuance fee. Finance
Director Roland noted this policy was changed at the beginning of the year regarding
snowbirds and vacancies. Staff will be reviewing this and bring it back to Council in
January. Councilmember Wilson felt there should be some dollar amount charged.
Councilmember Pritzlaff also requested a separate vote for the budget and tax levy.
Regarding the 19Sth Street project, he noted the agreement referenced the City and asked
if Newland was also included. City Engineer Mann explained the county needs to have
the agreement with the City in order to do the project. If the funding partners withdraw
their commitment, the City is not obligated to move forward with the project.
Councilmember Pritzlaff asked about the contract for platting the Nicolai Pond and how
much is left in the Ash Street project fund to do this. City Engineer Mann replied this is
well covered in the project. Finance Director Roland noted this was anticipated for the
contingencies. The funds for the Ash Street project have not been exhausted.
Councilmember Pritzlaff noted at one time they had considered re-sodding and asked at
what point in time the project is considered closed and the fund is no longer used. City
Engineer Mann replied the ponding items in the Ash Street project are being funded out
of the storm water fund. There is a balance in the project fund that can cover the sod.
City Attorney J amnik noted the acquisition price will also be coming out of that fund.
Councilmember Pritzlaff asked about the salary amount for the Assistant Engineer
position. Staff will provide this information. Councilmember Pritzlaffthen requested
pulling the draft EA W for the Flagstaff Avenue trunk sewer line for separate vote.
Councilmember Pritzlaff urged staff to watch the price tag for the new City Hall.
Regarding the various agreements for the high school development, the original four
acres to be used for the construction trailers were in the grading plan. When the land
swap was done, the school took 7.89 acres, so there is 3.89 acres that were not approved
for grading. He noted it has all been graded, so he felt the school was grading without
City approval. City Attorney Jamnik stated it appears the school's grading has been
approved by staff as a modification to the original plan. The pond's location has been
shifted. When everything is done a final plat will be done. Councilmember Pritzlaff
noted regarding Twin Ponds, he received a call from Colin Garvey that at the last meeting
Council directed staff and/or the Tollefson's to talk with Mr. Garvey on the cost sharing
of 225th Street. Mr. Garvey has not been contacted so Councilmember Pritzlaff asked
why it was on the agenda. He wanted to make sure this was done prior to the January 16
meeting.
Mayor Soderberg suggested moving the Bugbee comp plan amendment and rezoning to
the consent agenda.
5. STAFF COMMENTS
City Attorney Jamnik spoke regarding the documents for the high school project. The
release document applies to the Meadowview Elementary site. It is a release to the
Meadowview final plat and is not directly applicable to the Christensen site.

6. CITIZEN COMMENTS
a) Mr. Tom Ryan
Mr. Tom Ryan, 208 Walnut Street, stated he watched the last Council meeting
where the Elm Street project was discussed and the Walnut Street project was
mentioned. After 17 years it is back again. He does not want to go through
another mess like he did in 1990 on Walnut Street. He showed a map outlining
the assessment area going 'li block north and from 2nd Street to 4th Street. There
was no water and sewer from Walnut to Spruce so they had to run the water line
from his property to Walnut Street. He owned that house so he was assessed
again plus the water line, which it should have been the City's obligation to
furnish water lines to every lot in Farmington. This is only 20% ofthe problems
that went on in those two blocks along Walnut. The icing on the cake is when the
storm sewer catch basin was put in the middle of his driveway because he was
building a new house on that lot the following year. He could not communicate
with the City Engineers at that time. Ifthe rest of Walnut Street is done, he will
take immediate legal action ifhe is assessed for Walnut Street again. He paid his
dues when the two blocks were done. No matter what is done with the rest of
Walnut Street, he does not want anymore assessments.
Councilmember Wilson encouraged Mr. Ryan to contact City Administrator
Herlofsky or City Engineer Mann with any of his concerns. Mr. Ryan stated he
would pay his $100 for Elm Street and forget about it. But now, someone
mentioned Walnut Street and he is nervous. He does not own anymore property
on that end of Walnut, but he is afraid the assessments will come back. He has
sold all but two pieces of property because of the assessments.
Councilmember Pritzlaffnoted he brought up Walnut Street during the Elm Street
discussion. It is in the CIP for 2008 and it can be changed. He mentioned it
because he did not want to get to a six-month window and say we are doing
Walnut Street. He realized the plan can be changed. He wanted to let residents
know far enough ahead of time if they wanted to save money until the project
comes up. Mr. Ryan stated that is why he was here. He does not think anyone
that was assessed for those two blocks should be assessed again. They paid their
dues even if it is 17 years later. He started with $66,000 worth of assessments,
then it went to $48,000 because of discrepancies. The residents from 2nd to 4th
Streets on Walnut have paid their dues.
b) Response to Comments Ms. Kate Ekness - Police Department
A response was sent to Ms. Ekness.

c) Adopt Resolution - Approve 2007 Tax Levy and Budget - Finance
MOTION by Soderberg, second by McKnight to approve the 2007 tax levy and
budget. Councilmember Wilson noted he would approve the budget but remained
concerned about the building permits. He wanted Council to work closely with
the City Administrator and Finance Director in 2007 and be cautious of
expenditures in the first half of the year. He will be watchful ofthat particular
number. Councilmember Pritzlaffwas concerned with the building permits. He
wanted them reduced further and that did not happen so he will not approve the
budget. He requested the levy and the budget be voted on separately. MOTION
by Soderberg, second by McKnight to adopt RESOLUTION R133-06 approving
the 2007 tax levy. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Soderberg,
second by McKnight to adopt RESOLUTION R134-06 approving the 2007

8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) Adopt Ordinance - Approving 2007 Fee Schedule - Administration
Staff presented proposed fee changes for 2007. Councilmember Wilson received
a resident concern regarding the $30 discontinuance fee for garbage. He asked if
this was an appropriate amount compared to private contractors and depending on
the outcome, adjust the City's fee for this item. He asked about the amount of
money received for park development fees and if it is the same as other cities of
our size. He wanted to make sure the City is receiving enough dedication for
parks. Parks and Recreation Director Distad noted the park development fee is a
unique fee. There is a park development fee and a park dedication fee. Park
dedication is based on a percentage of land on the overall development that will
be used for parks or taking the appraised value per acre as cash in lieu. The City's
park dedication fee is better based on the land value than on the per unit value that
other communities have. Regarding the discontinuance fee for garbage,
Councilmember Pritzlaff stated staff picks up the container and stores it. He felt
it was more work to pick it up than to put on a colored tag or strip of metal. If this
is on the can, the garbage should not be picked up. The tag could be removed
when service should resume. Councilmember Fogarty asked when the new punch
cards would be available for open skating. The cards would start this year and
expire in April and start again in October. Councilmember McKnight noted the
ice rental rates are lower than surrounding cities. Parks and Recreation Director
Distad stated the proposed rates are based on a recommendation by the Parks and
Recreation Commission. Staff is considering reviewing the rates and will bring
back any changes. Councilmember McKnight noted there is an increase in the
Rambling River Center fitness room. The increase was proposed by the
Rambling River Center Advisory Board. Mayor Soderberg noted there have been
changes to the peddler, solicitor, transient merchant licenses. He asked ifthere
was a penalty for not getting a permit. City Attorney J amnik noted it is a
misdemeanor, 30 days or $1000. Some activities that are not commercial are not
able to be licensed. Mayor Soderberg noted there are changes to the public works
schedule and asked if this amends the agreement with the City of Hampton. He
suggested sending them an updated fee schedule.
MOTION by Pritzlaff, second by McKnight to close the public hearing. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Pritzlaff, second by Wilson to adopt
ORDINANCE 006-566 establishing 2007 fees and charges effective January 1,
2007. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a) Approve Various Agreements - New High School Development - City
AUorney
City Attorney Jamnik presented three agreements dealing with the new high
school project. One is an Easement Agreement assigning an easement the school
will be obtaining at the closing with the Christensen's for the pond area of7.89
acres. The second document is a Side Agreement between the City, the school
district, and the Christensen's regarding liability and other related improvement
issues and use issues regarding the pond area. The easement will be used by the
City for ponding. The Christensen's are reserving the right to plant a windbreak
on the site. The third agreement is associated with the Meadowview Elementary
site. That site previously approved by the Council years ago had a development
agreement. All the improvements have been made, but the development
agreement had not been formally released. As the property is being sold, the title
needed to be cleared. This document also releases the CUP over the parcel A that
is to be swapped out by the school. Zoning ordinances require a conditional use
permit be issued for a school in that zone. However, since that portion will be
sold and no longer used for a school and will revert to agricultural purposes, it can
be released from that CUP. Council asked various questions regarding these
agreements. MOTION by Fogarty, second by McKnight to approve the
transactional documents. Voting for: Soderberg, Fogarty, McKnight, Wilson.
Voting against: Pritzlaff. MOTION CARRIED.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a) Adopt Resolution and Ordinance - Fountain Valley Comprehensive Plan
Amendment and Rezoning - Planning
At the November 20, 2006 meeting, Council agreed to allow more time for the
Castle Rock Town Board to review this proposal at their December 12,2006
meeting. However, no action was taken at this meeting. The Castle
Rock/Farmington Planning Group met on December 13, 2006 and verbally said
there was no problem with the commercial area. The township's biggest concern
is the medium density being located 150 ft from the properties along Berring
Avenue. This does meet the requirement in the Orderly Annexation Agreement.
There were also additional items the developer was requested to do. It was
requested and agreed to that:
1. The medium density residential land not be constructed within 150 ft. of
the west property line.
2. The City requires a 20 ft setback for structures from the westerly right-of-
way line of Biscayne Avenue.
3. The developer of Fountain Valley agrees to screen the medium density
residential land use from the properties on Berring Avenue through landscaping
and berms.
4. The developer of Fountain Valley will research design options to reduce
the impact of the townhomes proposed in the medium density area such as not
Council Minutes (Regular)
December 18, 2006
Page 6
showing the long expanse of the townhomes parallel to the road, but have a side
VIew.
The information was forwarded to Castle Rock the next day and the Town Board
held a special meeting prior to this Council Meeting.
Mr. Russ Zellmer, Castle Rock Town Board Chair, stated the township did not
give their consent to this project. While the City has met its requirements for the
150 ft setback along the east side ofthe property it has not met its requirements to
notify the township far enough in advance of the Planning Commission's initial
comp plan change for the township to have sufficient time to respond to the
proposed changes. The Council did send it back to the Planning Group for the
township to respond, but it was taken out of order in the first place. In the OAA
one of the requirements was for this to happen. While the City has not adopted
the comp plan amendment, the Planning Group has sent to the Council its
recommendation for the proposed changes, which is not the way the OAA had
originally stated. In the spirit of cooperation, the City and township
representatives met to resolve the issue. The outcome was not mutually agreeable
on both sides. Before the Council adopts the comp plan amendment, Mr. Zellmer
hoped there could be some sort of concession on the issue. The township is not
asking for the fewer units per acre for the development, just to realign where they
are placed. The City has said this is good planning, but the entire process of the
OAA was to work together in planning and zoning in the annexation area to
prevent issues such as this. When the group was working on the OAA, there were
individuals who said not to trust the City, but he felt there was enough mutual
respect on both sides to get past that and the OAA was passed. He would be very
disappointed if all the time, work, and compromises put into the OAA were
thrown away. He feels at this time if the comp plan were adopted the relationship
between the City and township would be adversely affected. The township is not
saying there are too many houses on the property, it is just where they are located.
The developer does not have any of his medium density near his low density, but
yet he has proposed it next to the township's ultra-low density. There is 150 ft. in
between, but there is no gradual transition.
Councilmember Wilson stated the reasonable opportunity to comment leaves so
much room for interpretation, that it becomes dangerously vague. The project
appears to be consistent with what is outlined in the OAA. Mr. Zellmer stated the
Town Board meets once a month, so if they receive something a day before the
meeting, they do not have enough time. The City would have to wait until the
next regularly scheduled meeting. The township did not draft their letter until
after the planning group met. He hoped the issue could be resolved. The
Planning Commission adopted an initial comp plan amendment before the
township was notified or had a chance to respond. If the township had been
involved, they may not be where they are today. His understanding was the
communication between the City and the township was to be open between this
property and future properties. He feels it has not been. Councilmember Wilson
Council Minutes (Regular)
December 18, 2006
Page 7
stated the proposal brought forward by Mr. Garvey is consistent with the OAA,
which is the only document he has to refer to.
Mayor Soderberg asked about the next steps. City Attorney J amnik noted
Council can accept it and determine to table or deny the comp plan change, or
proceed under the dispute resolution provision in the OAA and request those steps
be taken between the City and the township. This would include a negotiation
meeting to discuss disagreements over terms or conditions, the second is to
submit to non-binding mediation, and the third is to go to a dispute resolution
procedure.
Councilmember McKnight spoke to the township representatives saying they met
for two hours on Wednesday to work this out and asked what happened in the five
days in between. We spent two years on this. Mr. Zellmer stated the Town Board
met tonight and it was not taken lightly, there was discussion all around. He
presented the City's issue as well as he could. There is low density property, but
Mr. Garvey does not put medium density next to it. Why should the township
residents have that?
Mr. Gary Pipho, Castle Rock township, stated he is disappointed to see the
requested changes to the comp plan. He was also disappointed in the current
development plan. Mostly he is disappointed to see the year long conversations
were apparently dismissed by the City. Farmington professes to work with other
local jurisdictions. He felt the City was acting like a bully. The commercial
concerns were Farmington representatives stated repeatedly at the discussion
group meeting that there was no significant need for commercial or industrial
development in the OAA area. Farmington refused to include verbage regarding
Castle Rock compensation for commercial development in the OAA. Discussions
around the 5-7 acres previously requested by the developer were considered
sufficient throughout all of the meetings. That same 5-7 acres has now grown to
17.7 acres with no compensation, in fact a loss of compensation to Castle Rock.
There have been no significant changes in the few months since the OAA was
signed to warrant such changes in the City's long-range planning. The City
forced Castle Rock to accept the OAA on their terms, but with very significant
verbal agreements as to the amount of commercial and industrial properties that
were expected. He hoped the verbal agreements had not been broken. Mayor
Soderberg stopped Mr. Pipho because he was characterizing this as all one sided.
Farmington has been anything but bullying in this process. This discussion will
not be productive. Council has a document from the township saying they have
withheld their consent. If the township wants, the City will carry on discussions
with the discussion group.
The City Attorney has given Council two options. One is to deny the developer's
request and the other is to table the item. City Attorney Jamnik suggested tabling
this indefinitely to allow time for notice of a meeting for dispute resolution.
Mayor Soderberg found that to be unfair to the developer. A month ago Council
Council Minutes (Regular)
December 18, 2006
Page 8
proceeded in good faith because they realized things were taken out of order.
Council has the authority to make the changes even after the Planning
Commission has approved the changes if it could be resolved with the planning
group. That has not happened. The township sent a negative consent.
Mr.Colin Garvey stated he has been working on this for a long time. As far as the
medium density, he proposed moving the road over so it is centered and he will
put in a row of single-family homes. The township does not want to do that. He
tried to reach a happy medium and that has not worked. As far as the commercial,
if the township does not want it, he will pull all the commercial out of the project,
but he felt the community needs it. He told them in the meeting on Wednesday,
this is conceptual. A lot of the area is wetland and a lot of the acreage will be
lost. Along the arterial road is where you want the higher density.
Mr. Arlyn Lamb, Castle Rock Town Board, stated he felt he owed
Councilmember McKnight some type of comments regarding the results of the
town board's meeting. The items discussed at the planning group, were areas
with the biggest contentions. Councilmember McKnight felt they reached a
reasonable approach, and Mr. Lamb also felt it was a reasonable compromise, but
he did not take it as being agreed upon. They were thoughts to take back to the
entire town board. Listening to the arguments of the Town Board, one was the 17
acres versus 5.5 acres of commercial, and the medium density next to the low
density are the underlying reasons as to why it was not approved.
Councilmember McKnight stated we spent two years working on this. The City
did not force this on anyone. If the township did not like it, they should not have
voted for it. The discussion group did not agree on things Wednesday, but staff
was instructed to write a letter for the township to say what the resolutions were.
He received a call on Friday that all this work was out the window. We have met
the OAA. The 150 ft. is all on the Fountain Valley property, the developer is
going further with City standards and buffering to protect the residents of Castle
Rock on the east side. We waited a month because it should not have been on the
agenda. He cannot delay this development any longer. He was ready to act on
this tonight. We worked for two years to develop a tax sharing plan, and in the
township's letter they are asking for more. To say he talked about 5-7 acres of
commercial is something he never talked about. He was willing to work with the
township, but was ready to act tonight.
Councilmember Pritzlaff asked what is the possibility if the City wanted to get rid
of the OAA. City Attorney J amnik stated it is a contract and has a termination
provision and an amendment provision. It also includes a provision that the City
is not authorized to change the comp plan without the consent of the township and
which consent cannot be unreasonably withheld. He would not advise Council to
take action tonight to approve or deny the comp plan, but to look at the mediation
and negotiation sections in the OAA. Councilmember Pritzlaff stated he was
hesitant on the original agreement. He commented previously on compensation,
Council Minutes (Regular)
December 18, 2006
Page 9
such as the three properties that came into the City because ofthe Ash Street
project. The township would not have gotten any compensation for those
properties if it was not put in the agreement. From that standpoint, the City was
very giving and willing to work with the township. He feels the developer is also
willing to work with the township. He did not want to see the agreement around
anymore. There has been good faith by the City and everyone involved. This is a
good deal for the township in the fact they are getting revenue for properties they
would have never gotten anything for, the developer is giving over 7 acres to
compensate for the road and made the 150 ft. plus another 20 ft. Move the road
down the middle and instead of being 170 ft. away from the property lines with
homes, if the county widens the road and wants to go 33 ft. from the centerline
both ways, the residents lose property. This agreement is giving the township the
governing body over the City. The agreement does not state because the township
does not want homes along a certain portion, that is what the City has to abide by.
He does not understand where transition has to happen when there is 170 ft. from
the property line. He noted Mr. Zellmer stated the Town Board meets once a
month. The City has had a lot of people put in a lot of time. Special meetings are
always an option to work this out rather than a month at a time.
Mr. Michael Kiefer, Albatross Circle, stated the City representatives on the
discussion group have indicated that City staff and the City Council consistently
strive to minimize adverse impacts to adjoining or nearby property owners in such
circumstances without regard to whether the potentially affected properties are in
the City or in an adjacent township. Methods typically used by the City to
minimize impacts on existing homes include buffering, landscaping, vegetative
screening, fencing, setbacks, and maximum lot coverage requirements. In
addition the City strives to make gradual transitions from existing low density
neighborhoods to high density neighborhoods. For example, high density
townhome projects would typically not be placed next to existing low density
single family detached homes. Part of the argument the township and the
residents have and what happened between your agreement and this meeting is a
lot of residents were upset by what is going on and it was not part of the original
agreement that Farmington had with Castle Rock township to put high density
housing next to ultra-low density housing. He asked Councilmember Pritzlaffif
he would like to have high density townhouses within 150 ft of his property. The
way the Farmington board acts, and he was at the meeting when the approval was
done between Castle Rock township and the City, he remembered
Councilmember Fogarty saying what a wonderful thing this was and a great
agreement. Government working together - Farmington with Castle Rock
township. None of the Castle Rock residents think this is a good idea. The Town
Board members did not want to come to this meeting and start a fight. What the
City has started with the agreement is an uprising of the people. He would agree
with throwing out the OAA, because a lot of residents do not fully understand
what has been put in that agreement and as they are finding out, they are
extremely opposed to it. Castle Rock did not get a good deal, it was not
government working together, and he seconded Mr. Pipho's idea that the Council
Council Minutes (Regular)
December 18, 2006
Page 10
acted like a bunch of bullies shoving this down Castle Rock residents and Castle
Rock's throat.
Councilmember Fogarty asked about the statement in the staffmemo that Castle
Rock town board met on December 12 and the need to consent was overlooked
and no action was taken. City Planner Smick explained she spoke with Mr.
Zellmer and he said they overlooked it because there were a number of residents
at the meeting. The vote against this was unanimous.
MOTION by Soderberg, second by Wilson to table this item indefinitely. He
asked City Attorney J amnik to expedite the resolution process as much as
possible. The developer has waited too long for any action and we need to get
this done. Councilmember Wilson stated what he was hearing from the township
were structural disagreements with the OAA. He was at the meeting when the
OAA was signed and no one held anyone hostage to sign this. It was entered into
freely. The concerns with the project are outside the scope ofthe OAA. Despite
his frustration, there is a provision for dispute resolution. He would rather take
that route before going to court. Reasonable opportunity to comment could be
one month or one year. There are serious problems with this agreement because
he was hearing structural concerns with the project that are inconsistent with the
OAA. You cannot invent what is not in the OAA. Councilmember Fogarty stated
her concern with the motion is "indefinitely." She did not want this to sit out
there for six months. City Attorney Jamnik explained the indefinite is for this
agenda item. Discussions or agenda items regarding the OAA would not be
tabled indefinitely. It will be placed on the January 2,2007 agenda to extend the
decision on the comp plan amendment and rezoning.
Mr. Gary Pipho stated he made a comment earlier classifying the Council as
bullies and he apologized. It is not their intent to put an indefinite block on the
agreement. They would like to see this move forward; they would just like to see
the changes made that are outlined in the document. He was not comfortable with
the term indefinite and also felt it was not fair to the developer. City Attorney
Jamnik suggested tabling the item to January 2,2007. AMENDED MOTION by
Soderberg, second by Wilson to table this item to January 2,2007.
Mr. Colin Garvey asked how we got to this point when at the last meeting it was
recommended for approval and now we are motioning to table it. Mayor
Soderberg stated it was tabled at the last meeting because of the process not being
followed. The process was then followed and the City received a negative
consent from the township. One option is to deny Mr. Garvey's request, which
Council does not want to do. The second option is to table it. Mr. Garvey stated
the OAA says within 150 ft. He is further out and it is being tabled. He followed
the agreement and now it is being tabled because of something that is not in the
OAA. He is out of the 150 ft. requirement. He wanted to clarify it is medium
density, not high density and it is not Farmington's responsibility to inform the
township. It is the Town Board's responsibility to inform their residents. He
Council Minutes (Regular)
December 18, 2006
Page 11
found it irregular that the township can blame the City for not being informed and
then hold up his development because of it.
Councilmember Wilson stated the OAA talks about dispute resolution. He
believes the development is consistent with the agreement. Councilmember
Pritzlaff asked how this could end up in court in litigation for the amount of time
spent on this. He also asked if the developer could bring the City to court for
delaying the project. City Attorney Jamnik replied we have to engage in
negotiation first and follow the dispute resolution first or we would not have
jurisdictional authority to go to court. Due to the township's lack of consent, we
are now in the dispute resolution provision of the OAA. Ifwe do not extend the
60 days, he will provide other options at that time.
Mr. Todd Larson, 819 ih Street, member of the Farmington/Castle Rock
Discussion Group, stated they held a special meeting for this project with the
township representatives. When we left the meeting, we had an agreement. That
is why it is on the agenda. The Town Board makes the agreements for the
township. We left with a positive agreement. He did not understand how they
can bring it back for a special meeting with their Town Board and still have it on
the Council agenda. We had an agreement, there was no reason for the Town
Board to have a special meeting. Their representatives agreed to this. During the
OAA meetings, things kept changing. The discussion group met and reached an
agreement. They had a positive recommendation.

Act Permit - Planning
This item was tabled to the January 16,2007 Council Meeting.
c)
Approve Agreement for 210th Street Right-of-Way - City Auorney
This was to approve the general terms for the 210th Street right-of-way for
drainage and utility easements for the extension of 21 Oth Street through the
Empire Liberty addition. The proposed compensation for the right-of-way splits
the difference between the land owner's appraisal and the City's appraisal.
Contemporaneous with the City's acquisition of the right-of-way the property
owner would acquire an industrial park lot from the EDA. The Contract for
Private Development will be presented to the EDA at their January meeting. This
would allow the property owner to relocate the bus maintenance business
currently on the site in the Empire Liberty Addition to the industrial park.
Councilmember McKnight noted there is a difference in funding in the swap and
asked where the difference would be made up. Finance Director Roland stated
because this section of road would open parcels to the east, the City would seek to
Council Minutes (Regular)
December 18, 2006
Page 12
recoup the costs from the developers farther to the east. Councilmember Wilson
asked if there has been any other interest on this site in the industrial park and
asked if the right-of-way and the real estate transaction could be considered
separately. Finance Director Roland replied the lot in the industrial park is 1/3 of
a much larger lot. There are no other interested parties because of the unusual
size of the lot and the access issues. City Attorney J amnik explained the
transactions are linked because the property owner does not want to sell without
having a place to relocate within the City and that is conveniently located.
Councilmember Wilson asked where the cost differential will be made up.
Finance Director Roland replied the City will be fronting the cost, but it will be
reimbursed at a later time with further development to the east on 21 oth Street.
Councilmember Pritzlaffwas confused how 2.295 acres is worth $300,000 when
3.45 acres is only worth $225,000. City Attorney Jamnik stated the industrial
park lot is priced at what the EDA has priced industrial park lots for.
Councilmember Fogarty explained the lot is a very odd shape with limited
transportation. There is also a pipeline and a wetland. Councilmember Pritzlaff
asked about the City fronting the difference and for how long. Finance Director
Roland stated it amounts to $80,000. City Attorney Jamnik stated the length
depends on when the east side opens up for development. This price is good for
the next couple months. If you wait two years to acquire road right-of-way it will
go up substantially. Councilmember Pritzlaff asked if the City is in a position to
front $80,000 for the next four years. City Attorney Jamnik stated the City is
fronting $300,000 for the next several years because the EDA fund is a separate
fund. The City's road and bridge fund will be taking this hit up front. That is also
done in other projects. Councilmember Pritzlaffnoted if this road does not get
done, the second phase of the project would not get done. He felt the City was
getting into the development business and he did not like it. Mayor Soderberg
asked about subsequent improvements to the road and adding a significant
amount to the acquisition cost. City Attorney J amnik explained it transfers a lot
of the cost to the developments to the east. The construction costs for that road
segment will not be borne by the immediately abutting property to the north. It
will be transferred to the east. That property currently has all the access it needs
to hwy 3.
MOTION by Fogarty, second by McKnight to approve the proposed terms of the
transaction to acquire a right-of-way easement for the extension of210th Street
and direct staff and the City Attorney to prepare the documents necessary to
effectuate the transaction. Voting for: Soderberg, Fogarty, McKnight. Voting
against: Pritzlaff, Wilson. MOTION CARRIED.
d) Frontier Update - Administration
Staff has had several conversations with representatives from Frontier. Sufficient
information has not been received as to what the City is leasing to evaluate the
proposed lease payments. Even with full information for the 120 sites plus the
number of buildings Frontier would need access to, the amount on the table right

LMCIT Excess Liability Coverage
DATE:
January 2, 2007
INTRODUCTION
The City has historically purchased excess liability coverage as part of its insurance coverage.
Accordingly, the City must decide annually whether or not to waive statutory liability limits to the
extent of the excess coverage purchased.
DISCUSSION
The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) basic liability coverage provides limits of
$1,000,000 per occurrence, but offers cities the option of additional liability coverage. As in recent
years, the City has chosen under its insurance coverage for 2007 to accept excess liability coverage
limits of $2,000,000 from the LMCIT. In accepting this excess liability coverage, the City protects
itself from liability claims which are not covered by the statutory limits. The election not to waive
the liability limits results in a 25% reduction of the City's premium for this excess coverage.
ACTION REQUIRED
The City Council should adopt a motion electing NOT TO WAIVE the monetary limits on tort
liability established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04.

FROM: Tina Hansmeier, Economic Development Specialist
SUBJECT: 2007 Community Development Block Grant Application
DATE: January 2, 2007
INTRODUCTION
The City has the opportunity to apply for approximately $60,800 in Community
Development Block Grant [CDBG] funds for the CDBG Program Year 2007 [July 1, 2007
through June 30, 2008]. The completed application must be submitted to the Dakota
County Community Development Agency [CDA] accompanied by an approved City Council
Resolution.
DISCUSSION
In order to obtain the available CDBG funds, the City must complete and submit an
application, as it has done in past years. The application must identify the project(s) for
which the CDBG funds will be used, and the specific project activities to which the funds will
be applied. CDBG funds can only be used for "eligible" projects or activities that satisfy
certain "National Objectives." Typically, such objectives include redeveloping slums or
blighted areas, creating or improving housing that benefits individuals who fall within "low
to moderate income" guidelines, or creating jobs that pay wages that fall within certain
ranges.
Last year 500/0 of the eligible funds were put towards hazmat abatement costs and/or
demolition costs associated with the redevelopment of the Riste building site. The other
500/0 of funds were allocated towards the Dakota County CDA's housing rehabilitation loan
program, with the understanding that said funds will be used exclusively for the benefit of
Farmington homeowners.
For CDBG Program Year 2007 staff recommends to allocate 500/0 of funds to the Dakota
County CDA's housing rehabilitation loan program. Staff is recommending that the other
500/0 of funds could be allocated to one of the following activities; "Riste Redevelopment'
or "Downtown Code Improvements."
Attached is a proposed Resolution that has been prepared in the format required by the
Dakota County CDA. If the Resolution is approved by the Council, an application that is
consistent with the terms of the Resolution will be completed, attached to the Resolution and
submitted to the Dakota County CDA.
At the December 19, 2006 EDA meeting the board recommended approval of staffs
recommendation of allocating 500/0 of said funds to the Dakota County CDA's housing
rehabilitation loan program and 500/0 of funds to the Riste Redevelopment fund.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve the attached resolution regarding the City's application for Program Year 2007
Community Development Block Grant funding and approving the allocation of
--500/0 of said funds to the Dakota County CDA's housing rehabilitation loan program, with
the understanding that said funds will be used exclusively for the benefit of Farmington
homeowners.
--500/0 of said funds to the Riste Redevelopment CDBG activity fund.

DATE:
January 2, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The City has received a request from Centex Homes to vacate and dedicate new easements for three single-
family lots in the Charleswood Crossing subdivision. The Developer has submitted easement descriptions
(Exhibit A) requesting the drainage and utility easements to be vacated and the proposed drainage and utility
easements to be dedicated for each lot. Lot 1, Block 2 (Exhibit B), Lot 2, Block 2 (Exhibit C), and Lot 3,
Block 2 (Exhibit D) are the requested lots for these actions. The dedicated easements are solely for the
purpose of providing a drainage swale through the lots.
DISCUSSION
Upon construction of the three lots, it was determined that the original easements were located on a hill
(Exhibit E) and there was a need to remove these easements and relocate them to the bottom of the hill to
provide a drainage swale through each lot. The vacated areas will allow the homeowners of each lot to utilize
these areas upon approval of the vacation and dedication requests.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the proposed vacations of the drainage and utility easements
and the dedication of the drainage swales.
ACTION REQUESTED
Adopt a resolution to vacate the drainage and utility easements located on Lot 1, Block 2; Lot 2, Block 2; and
Lot 3, Block 2 of the Charleswood Crossing plat and the dedication of new drainage and utility easements on
each lot.

DISCUSSION
The Council has traditionally taken this time to approve the following actions affecting either process
or procedures.
10a(1). Acting Mayor - Council By-Laws provide that an Acting Mayor be appointed on a rotating
basis in the absence of the Mayor. Councilmember McKnight, subject to the most votes in the 2004
General Election and serving the third year of his term, is eligible for appointment as Acting Mayor.
10a(2). Official Publication - Per State law, the Farmington Independent is the only publication
located within the City's corporate limits and as such qualifies as the City's legal newspaper.

reappointment as City Attorney for the year 2007.
10a(4). Consulting Engineers - The firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, and Anderlik & Associates (BRAA)

$1,000,000 Faithful Performance bond, which is more than adequate to meet City needs.
10a(8). Fees and Charges - At the December 18, 2006 City Council meeting, Council adopted
Ordinance 006-566 establishing fees and charges for the year 2007. No further action is necessary.

Councilmember to serve on this board for the remainder of their council term.
10a(11). ALF Ambulance Board Appointment Primary and Alternate - A primary and an alternate
Councilmember will need to be appointed to the ALF Board for 2007. Councilmember Wilson

RE: 2007 BILLING RATES
Dear Peter:
We appreciate very much the opportunity to provide legal services to the City, and
respectfully request reappointment as the City Attorney. We look forward to
continuing our long-term professional relationship with the City. Our goal is to
provide quality legal services in the most cost-effective manner, but like other
business our costs of doing business continue to increase, including health and
professional insurance, rent, and computer expenses.
Consequently, we are proposing an increase in our rates, as shown on the enclosed
redlined version of the proposed agreement for legal services. I also am proposing the
elimination of a conflict provision that is no longer necessary due to other
circumstances, and I will discuss this with you in more detail prior to Council review.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
CAMPBELL KNUTSON

Minnesota Statutes Section 118 sets forth the procedures for the deposit of public funds and requires

vendors are recommended as depositories for fiscal year 2007:
Anchor Bank of Farmington
League of Minnesota Cities 4M Fund
RBC Dain Rauscher
Wells Fargo Investments
Smith Barney Inc.
The City has made these depositories aware of the allowable investments under Section 118 in which
the City will invest.
BUDGET IMPACT
Revenues from investment interest are budgeted in 2007.

Dear Peter,
With the approach of the New Year, I would like to draw your attention to the appointment process for
the Dakota Communications Center Board of Directors.
In accordance with DCC by-laws, Directors and Alternate Directors are appointed for two year terms.
Seven members are required appoint in January of odd-numbered years, while the other five members
appoint in January of even-numbered years. In 2007, the cities of Farmington, Mendota Heights,
Hastings, Inver Grove Heights, Rosemount, South St. Paul and West St. Paul are required to appoint a
named elected official to serve as a Director and to designate another named elected official to serve as an
Alternate.
Directors and Alternates may be reappointed at the discretion of the member.
In addition to the members who must appoint Directors and Alternates in January, 2007, Apple Valley,
Burnsville, Dakota County, Eagan and Lakeville may need to make appointments in the event that a
current Director or Alternate is leaving elected office or because of your governing board's appointment
practices.
The current Director for Farmington is Mayor Kevan Soderberg and your current Alternate Director is
Council Member David McKnight. At their November meeting, the DCC Board of Directors approved
their 2007 meeting schedule, which is attached for your reference. Meetings remain on the third
Thursday of each month from 8:00 to 10:00 AM.
I would appreciate it if you would include DCC Board appointments on your January, 2007 City Council
agenda for action, followed by notification to the DCC of the action taken.
Please be sure to let me know if you have any questions regarding DCC Board appointment requirements.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and your continuing efforts on behalf of the Dakota
Communications Center.
Sincerely,
~~

INTRODUCTIONIDISCUSSION
Background
As part of the 1998 Comprehensive Plan update, the property described below was re-guided to a Industrial

Plan Amendment fee ($350) and the Rezoning fee ($300) be waived. Mr. Devney has applied for a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning (see attached) for his property at the northwest intersection of
CSAH 50 and Pilot Knob Road. His request is to amend the existing comp plan designation from industrial to
agriculture and to amend the existing zoning from 1-1 to A-I. He paid the fees on December 20, 2006 in order
to be included on the January 9th Planning Commission agenda, however, he is requesting that those fees be
waived and the paid fees to be refunded.

Background
As part of the 1998 Comprehensive Plan update, the six properties depicted on the attached map were re-
guided to a Commercial designation and rezoned to a B-2 zoning designation. At that time, the subject

The residents located at the northwest intersection of 1 st and Elm Streets that are currently zoned B-2 have
submitted a letter to the City Council (see attached) requesting that the Comprehensive Plan Amendment fee
($350) and the Rezoning fee ($300) be waived. The residents on 1 st and Elm Streets will soon be applying for
a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning of their properties from business to residential and from B-2
to R-T. The residents are awaiting Council decision on the waiver of fees before they apply for the
amendments.
