FROM: Karen Finstuen, Administrative Services Manager
SUBJECT: Camp Courage Wagon Train
DATE: January 19, 1999
INTRODUCTION
At the January 4, 1999 Council meeting, Mr. Clay Christian informed the City Council of the
details surrounding the Camp Courage Wagon Train and their need of approximately 2200
gallons of water for their horses, upon their arrival in Farmington, the weekend of June 12-13,
1999.
DISCUSSION
Mr. Christian requested the delivery of 2200 gallons of water by the Fire Department. Staff
contacted Fire Chief Kuchera and learned that the Fire Department would be pleased to supply
the water however, their tanks contain a residue from chemicals used in the fire fighting process,
and may be harmful to animals.
The Park and Recreation Department will supply the water with the rink flooding truck.
BUDGET IMPACT
Pursuant to the City Fee Schedule, the minimum charge for 2200 gallons of water is $29.00 and
personnel charges are estimated at approximately $40.00. The Camp Courage organization is
aware of these fees and understands they will be billed for this service. Mr. Christian is,
however, requesting the City of Farmington donate this service to their non-profit organization.
Camp Courage operates strictly on donations and with dedicated volunteers. This request is
consistent with similar requests approved in the past.
ACTION REQUIRED
Approve the request to provide water to the Camp Courage Wagon Train upon their arriving in
Farmington, the weekend of June 12-13, 1999.
Respectfully submitted,

1998 ALF Ambulance Reimbursement
DATE:
January 19, 1999
INTRODUCTION
The City has received an in-kind reimbursement from ALF Ambulance for 1998 in the amount of
$7,860.
DISCUSSION
The ALF Ambulance Board agreed at their 1999 Budget workshop to begin reimbursing member
cities for in-kind service support and space utilization. The Board amended the 1998 Budget at
their meeting on December 15, 1998 and within that amended document, the Executive Board
unanimously voted to commence the in-kind reimbursements in 1998.
Attached with this memo is the letter from ALF regarding the reimbursement and a worksheet
used to calculate the value of the in-kind payment.
BUDGET IMPACT
This in-kind reimbursement was not included in the revised 1998 revenue projections which
Council approved in November. Accordingly, as the City's contribution to ALF emanates from the
General Fund, these funds will be designated to the City's General Fund Balance.
ACTION REQUIRED
For information only.

Dear Mr. Erar:
As you will recall from our budget workshop this year, starting with budget year 1999 we had
programmed to budget line items which would reimburse our member cities for in-kind service
support and space utilization.
At the Ambulance Board meeting held December 15, 1998, one of the items for Board action was
to amend the 1998 budget. Within that amended budget document was the recommendation to
commence these in-kind reimbursements in 1998. The Executive Board unanimously voted to
adopt the budget amendment as presented.
Attached to this letter, it is our pleasure to present the City of Farmington with their 1998 in-kind
reimbursement check in the amount of$7,860. Please also find attached a "Community Support"
worksheet which was used and approved for calculating the amount of these in-kind payments.
We truly appreciate your work and planning that have gone in to making sure the ambulance
service continues to meet the needs of our communities while doing so in an economically
affordable manner.

Adopt Resolution - Accept Dakota Electric Cooperative Grant
DATE:
January 19, 1999
INTRODUCTION
A grant from Dakota Electric Cooperation (DEe) was recently awarded to the City for planned Internet
website improvements on the City's website at www.ci.farmington.mn.us.
DISCUSSION
DEC grant funds in the amount of $3,500 will be used to enhance the interactive capabilities of the City's
website. The site currently has a variety of information on the general community, the local government
unit, and has been used as a community marketing tool to present relevant economic development data on
land use, demographics, private development opportunities, e-mail communications and electronic
publication of government documents. In addition, the site has links to other on-line entities to enable
website users to gain a comprehensive understanding of the overall community i.e. schools, businesses,
employment.
It is staffs objective to enhance the site by adding additional features such as on-line transaction
capabilities, forms downloading, additional economic development data, marketing opportunities, and
upgraded design functionality for the web user. As the number of internet users is expected to
significantly increase over the next several years, the City's website will become an important strategic
community marketing and communications tool.
BUDGET IMP ACT
Grant funds will be used by my office to purchase web authoring tools, underwrite staff training expenses
related to utilizing the new software and internet site consulting costs, as appropriate. The enhanced
functionality of the City's web should, over time, translate into administrative processing efficiencies and
improved customer service on transactional services offered by the City.
ACTION REOUESTED
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing acceptance of the DEC grant in the amount of $3,500.

Fourth Quarter and Year-end Building Report
DATE:
January 19, 1999
INTRODUCTION
The 1998 building construction year ended on December 31 S\ the following IS a report
summarizing the fourth quarter and year-end new construction permits issued.
DISCUSSION
The fourth quarter of 1998, October 1 st to December 31 S\ had 53 new single-family permits
issued. The fourth quarter also brought in an additional 10 multi-family permits, which represent
the new townhome units being constructed within Bristol Square.
The year-end numbers concluded with 276 new single-family permits, 4 new duplex (twin home)
permits and 10 new multi-family (townhome) permits for a total of 290 new residential permits.
The 1998 season brought in 45 more residential permits than the preceding year. The 1995
through 1998 year-end residential permit totals are attached for a year-by-year comparison. The
290 new residential units were slightly less than the anticipated 300 units projected within the
Comprehensive Plan.
The 290 residential permits resulted in a total building valuation of $31,041,801 for an average
valuation cost of $107,040.69 per residential unit. (This valuation is determined by a building
formula utilizing square footage). Note that the valuation average does not represent the overall
sale or market value of the home; since it does not include the value of the lot or any amenities
added to the home that are not part of the building code formula.
The total valuation of all construction work completed within the City was $48,680,154. This
number is skewed by the new Middle School project that was valued at $15,561,400.
REQUESTED ACTION
No action is requested, the report summary is intended to update the Council on tbe building
activity within the City.

Hearing Continuance - Seed Property Annexation
DATE:
January 19, 1999
INTRODUCTION
The City Council at the December 7, 1998 meeting, continued the hearing on the annexation
petition from the Seed Family Trust for 60 acres currently located in Empire Township. This
action was taken to allow time to attempt to reach an orderly annexation agreement with Empire
Township for the entire Seed property.
DISCUSSION
The Empire Town Board considered a draft Orderly Annexation Agreement at their regular
meeting on January 12, 1999. The Town Board approved the proposed agreement subject to an
agreement being finalized between the Seed Family and Mr. Stelzel for the timing of the
annexation of his homestead and authorized that the agreement be signed upon resolution of this
issue. It is expected that the agreement between Seed and Stelzel will be finalized within the
next week.
BUDGET IMPACT
None
ACTION REOUESTED
It is recommended that the hearing on the annexation petition for 60 acres of the Seed property
be continued to the February 1, 1999 City Council meeting at which time it is anticipated the
Orderly Annexation Agreement will be finalized and ready for City Council consideration.
Respectfully submitted,

SUBJECT: BA TC Communications - January 4, 1999
DATE: January 19, 1999
INTRODUCTION
The City Council has received correspondence from the Builders Association of the Twin Cities
(BA TC) requesting an opportunity to comment on the new fee schedule.
DISCUSSION
In review ofBATC's request, staffhas included a copy ofa survey produced by the City of
Rosemount comparing building and plat fee costs in the cities of Lakeville, Apple Valley, Inver
Grove Heights, Farmington and Rosemount. It is interesting to note, that with the exception of
Storm Area Trunk Charges, Farmington is ranked as one of the lowest cost cities to build single
family homes, next to Apple Valley.
With respect to Storm Area Trunk Charges, fees are a function of the geo-physical characteristics
of the community's topography, geology and, most importantly, hydrology. Storm Area Trunk
Charges are calculated and based upon the City's Storm Sewer Comprehensive Plan.
As Council is aware, BA TC was notified earlier this year that their involvement in preparing the
City fee schedule affecting new development was not desired. A letter was transmitted to BA TC
informing them of the Council's decision in this matter.
BA TC has continued to make it clear that they do not accept the City Council's decision and
wish to address Council directly on this matter. Council is well aware of the ramifications of
allowing a special interest group to participate in an internal City process. While individual
developers are always free to contact staff on issues of financial concern, the prospect of
allowing a special interest lobbying group to directly participate in setting fees that affect their
dues paying members with a private financial interest is especially disconcerting.
It should be noted that the 1999 Fee Schedule does reflect revisions in response to particular
developer concerns. All fees are developed and reviewed by staff in accordance with a service
cost rationale that identifies and quantifies various cost factors in service provision. Staff
approaches the enactment of private development fees in accordance with Council policies that
Mayor and Council Members
BATC Communications - January 4, 1999
Page 2 of2
specify that new development should pay for itself, without imposing any additional tax burden
on existing City residents.
Council should be aware that BA TC will be approaching the State Legislature in 1999 on
building and development fees charged by cities, and will be lobbying for a number of legislative
changes that will ultimately affect local government authority to properly regulate private
development through the fees generated by new development. It would be staffs
recommendation that the City join with other metropolitan communities in opposing any
legislative actions that would limit local government authority to properly regulate and
administer private development activities that are underwritten by private development fees.
This issue has also been discussed with the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM)
and the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) who have indicated that BA TC's request should be
viewed very cautiously. Questions were also raised regarding the proper role of a special interest
lobbying group in an internal organizational process. Accordingly, both the AMM and LMC
seriously questioned the appropriateness of allowing a special interest group to participate in this
type of process.
BUDGET IMPACT
A reduction in private development fees would seriously affect the City's ability to properly
administer and regulate private development within the community. The consequences of
restricting the ability of local government to properly pass on the costs of planning, overseeing,
administering and regulating new development would be to either raise taxes on existing
property owners or reduce the level of local regulatory control on new private development due
to diminishing public resources.
ACTION REQUESTED
None. This is for information only. My office has notified Karen Christofferson, Public Policy
Director for BATC, that this item has been placed on the January 19, 1999 Council Agenda.

Dear Mayor Ristow and Members of the City Council,
The Builders Association of the Twin Cities is requesting the opportunity for a
representative of the association to comment on the new fee schedule at the next scheduled
City Council meeting on Tuesday, January 19.
We received the proposed fee schedule from one of our members this morning, January 4.
We did not receive a proposed fee schedule from the City of Farmington. We request this
opportunity to comment on fees that impact the home building industry since it is members
of the association that pay the fees.
It is important to note that the Builders Association of the Twin Cities has never objected to
fees for home development and construction. However we do believe that fees must be
appropriately tied to actual costs the city incurs. Therefore it is important that our
association and metro cities work together to accurately quantify these costs.
Please advise us of our opportunity to comment on the January 19, 1999 council agenda on
the fee schedule.
Sincerely,

Metro Council backs
sewer-connection fee
JENNIFER EHRLICH STAFF WRITER
Building a suburban house with the
kind of back yard where you could lose
sight of the dog is likely to get more
expensive next year.
Anyone building a house, office build-
ing or factory will pay a fee to connect
to the metro-area sewer system. The
Metropolitan Council has approved policy
changes that will increase those one-time
fees - in some cases more than quadru-
pling the charge.
The action springs
from the Metro
Council's philosophy
that the people who
choose to move to
the suburbs and
beyond should pay
the cost of expand-
ing services to
reach them.
Now, by paying
their sewer bill, tax-
payers throughout
the metro area help
pay the cost of sub-
urban expansion. If the Metro Council's
new policy is approved by the Legisla-
turethis session, the connection fees will
be used to pay for the full cost of
extending pipes and building treatment
plants.
"If the new connections are causing
growth, and we have to add pipes and
plants - those users should pay for
that," said Jean Erickson, director of the
Office of Business Planning in the Metro
Council's Environmental Service Division.
The Metro Council is an organization
appointed by the. governor that oversees
growth and development in the seven-
county metro area. It also runs regional
bus, waste-water and park systems and
administers money for affordable hous-
ing. .
The new rate system. for sewer connec-
tions would increase the. cost for hooking
up a new home on less than one acre by
$50 a year, up from tl1is year's rate of
$1,050. . .
By paying
their sewer
bill, taxpayers
throughout
the metro
area "Ip pay
the cost of
suburban
expansion.

Agency attorneys also consider the
financial conditions of the homes
when negotiating settlements of
fines, Spain said.
The restraint issue erupted in
mid-April, when inspectors from
the state Health Department be-
gan cracking down on nursing
homes for violating federal rules
that severely restrict the use of
side rails. As part of the crack-
down, the department levied near-
ly $1 million in fines against 25
nursing homes.
Prompted by the severe penal-
ties, nursing homes around the
state quickly began removing all
side rails. This, in turn, triggered
an outcry from alarmed family
members, who claimed relatives
were falling onto floors and se-
verely injuring themselves.
ILDING
... CONTINUED FROM 1 B
The more significant cost in-
crease is for new houses on lo~
larger than one acre. The Metro
Council plans to increase the rate
by 41/z times as much or $4,725.
The fees also would apply to new
businesses.
For those currently hooked up
to the system, the new policies
mean money that has been spent
chasing growth could be used for
other things, including reducing
rates, Erickson said.
The Metro Council believes that
the new rates will end the system
that forces taxpayers to foot the
bill for suburban growth and that
the higher rates on large lots will
discourage urban sprawl, Erickson
said.
But the opponents of the policy
say the rate changes miss their
mark.
The Builder's Association of the
Twin Cities believes the rate in-
'as will not control sprawl be-
e.. the connection fees are paid
by developers - not the cities
that decide how land is used.
"We objected to that because it
doesn't encourage the city to do
anything," said Karen Christoffer-
son, the association's public policy
director. "It just penalizes the

In an effort to "turn down the
heat," former state health com-
missioner Anne Barry last Decem-
ber wrote a letter to the Health
Care Financing Administration re-
questing, among other things, that
fines against 16 of the 25 nursing
homes be rescinded. '
But in a Jan. 6 letter sent to
Barry, the agency's regional ad-
ministrator, Dorothy Burk Collins,
said the fines would not be
dropped.
"We concluded that we cannot
rescind the imposed (civil mone-
tary penalties)," Collins wrote.
"Some facilities have hearings
pending on the remedies imposed
while others have waived a re-
quest for a hearing and paid re-
duced (civil monetary penalties).
We believe the current appeals
procedures protect a facility's
rights before a (civil monetary
penalty) is collected. If a provider
requests a hearing, we alsQ have
the authority to settle at any time
builder."
Christofferson said if the Metro
Council really wanted to use the
connection fee as an incentive for
people to build at a higher density,
it should have enacted a policy
that penalized cities for land-use
policies that allowed single homes
on large lots.
The nominal fees associated
with home building are not likely
to discourage development, said
Christofferson.
The Metro Council has delayed
its greater push to charge busi-

Ironically, Collins indicates in
her letter that the federal agency
has not yet resolved the side rail
issue internally and said a special
group has been appointed to re-
view a 1997 policy regarding the
devices.
"In our discussions with (offi-
cials in the agency's regional
headquarters in Baltimore), we
learned that the restraint issue has
not yet been fully resolved and we'
are awaiting an opinion from the'
Office of General Counsel," Collins
wrote.
"You haven't heard the end of
it," the agency's Spain said. "I an-
ticipate that we will get something
cleared by Baltimore to help all",
the states to understand when reo
straints can be used."

Amid objections from the busi-
ness community that added fees
would discourage industrial busi-
nesses from locating in the metro
area, the Metro Council decided to
delay discussions about adding an-
other fee for five years.
The Metro Council has held
meetings with officials from cities
throughout the suburbs, Minneapo-
lis and St. Paul that will be affect-
ed by the changes.
Although the new rates are like-
ly to have an impact on cities with
large undeveloped land, there is
general support for the theory that
current residents should not pay
for new expansion, said Eugene
VanOverbeke, finance director for
the City of Eagan.
"There was a time when the
central cities felt they were subsi-
dizing the suburbs and the suburbs
felt they were subsidizing the cen-
tral cities," said VanOverbeke.
"Really, what was true was that
current users were subsidizing fu-
ture users."
The Metro Council recommen-
dations are part of its package
awaiting approval by the gover-
nor's office. If the Legislature
passes the package, the changes
would go into effect next year.

Amend Section 10-2-3, 10-3-1 and 10-3-2 of the Farmington City Code-
B-4 Neighborhood Business District
DATE:
January 19, 1999
INTRODUCTION
The following amendment is being presented as a discussion item with the City Council to
develop a new zoning district. The new zoning district will address existing and proposed sites
throughout the City that requires a zoning category that is compatible with surrounding
residential uses while providing services to the neighborhoods through business related activities.
DISCUSSION
Subject to discussions with the Planning Commission, it is proposed to amend Section 10-2-3,
10-3-1 and 10-3-2 of the Farmington City Code to provide a new zoning district titled B-4 -
Neighborhood Business. The amendment includes a purpose statement in Section 10-2-3 of the
Code for the B-4 District and proposes permitted and conditional uses in Sections 10-3-1 and 10-
3-2.
During discussions at the December 8, 1998 Planning Commission meeting concerning a proposed
rezoning of 821 Third Street, it became apparent to the Planning Commission and Planning staff that
there was a need to provide business districts that could serve adjacent residential areas on parcels of
land three acres or less in size. Further discu~sions of the B-4 District were discussed at the January
12, 1999 Planning Commission meeting. At the meeting, the Planning Commission discussed
possible permitted and conditional uses within the B-4 District and requested that the City Council
review the recommendations for the zone.
Upon review and recommendations by the City Council concerning the B-4 District, the Planning
Commission will hold a public hearing on February 9, 1999 to take action on the proposed
neighborhood-business district.
Proposed B-4 District
The neighborhood business district is intended to provide a setting for low and medium-density
housing combined with complementary and supporting land uses that serve a neighborhood and
are developed and operated in harmony with the residential characteristics of a neighborhood.
The main purpose of the district is to meet a wide range of residential needs of everyday living in
neighborhoods that provide a variety of housing choices, that invite walking to gathering places,
services and conveniences, and that are fully integrated into the larger community. Any new
development within this district shall be arranged to form part of an individual neighborhood.
The Neighborhood Business District may be located within the core of a neighborhood with
adequate access to the business center or on the periphery of residential neighborhoods along
collector streets or streets of a higher classification.
The Planning Division has been in the process of examining surrounding communities such as
Rosemount, Lakeville, Apple Valley and Burnsville to determine the types of uses located in each
respective community. The attached matrix illustrates these fmdings.
The proposed B-4 District purpose, permitted and conditional uses and defmitions are also attached.
Advantages of the Proposed Amendment
The B-4 District will result in the following:
· Provide a variety of service oriented businesses in close proximity to neighborhoods
while remaining compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
· Provide locations for start-up businesses and uses that only require small leased
spaces.
Provide the opportunity to make use of existing buildings within a residential
neighborhood while remaining compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the attached text amendment for adding the B-4
Zoning District to the Zoning Code.
ACTION REQUESTED
Staff is requesting comments from the City Council in order to continue to refme the proposed B-4
Neighborhood Business District zone and forward comments to the Planning Commission for formal
review.

SUBJECT: Draft Joint Powers Agreement for Ash Street Reconstruction/PWW III
DATE: January 19, 1999
INTRODUCTION
The Council, following discussions with Castle Rock Township officials, directed City staff to
prepare a draft joint powers agreement for a cooperative public improvement project. The
project could include the reconstruction of Ash Street and storm sewer, sanitary sewer and
water improvements in the vicinity of Ash Street, including township areas both within and in
proximity to areas previously identified and the construction of Phase III of the Prairie Waterway
Projects.
DISCUSSION
This draft attempts to provide a framework for further study of the proposed project in
cooperation with the Township and outlines jurisdictional responsibilities in underwriting the
cost of preparing a new updated study.
BUDGET IMP ACT
As previously discussed, the City and Township have tentatively agreed to underwrite their
respective engineering costs and distribute the costs as equitably as possible between the two
jurisdictions. The initial cost is limited to staff and consultant time and related expenses in
preparing an updated feasibility report for the project. Project construction and financing impacts
are potentially significant and will be identified as part of the feasibility report.
ACTION REQUESTED
Review and suggest revisions to the proposed draft prior to its transmittal to Castle Rock
Township for their consideration.

Towing Contract - RFP
DATE:
January 19, 1999
INTRODUCTION / DISCUSSION
At the December 7, 1998 meeting the Council authorized advertisement of the Request for Proposals (RFP)
for the City Towing contract. Proposals were accepted through December 28, 1998. Although two
proposals were received, mandatory zoning information was missing from each of them. Each of the
towing companies has been delayed while waiting for meetings of the Zoning Boards of the Townships
where storage yards are to be located.
After discussing the issue with the City Attorney, staff reached the conclusion that all proposals should be
rejected and the RFP should be re-advertised. This will allow equal opportunity for interested businesses
to prepare proposals.
The RFP will be advertised for two additional weeks with recommendations for the new contract presented
to the City Council at the February 16 meeting.
ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize re-advertisement of Request for Proposals for the City Towing Contract and extend the existing
towing service until a new contract is signed.

SUBJECT: Downtown Streetscape Project - Neighborhood Meeting Report
DATE: January 19, 1999
INTRODUCTION
On Thursday, January 7, 1999, staff held a neighborhood meeting for the Downtown
Streetscape project.
DISCUSSION
Several of the downtown property owners attended the neighborhood meeting. Staff
made a brief presentation on the project and then answered questions. In addition, the
property owners were given a handout outlining assessment amounts for the project based
on three different assessment methodologies (see attached). Staff will recommend a
methodology and preliminary assessment roll at the public hearing for the project after
the appraisal for the project has been completed.
The property owners in attendance appeared to be very supportive of the project. In
addition to general questions regarding the scope of the project, several other issues were
raised and discussed.
One individual forwarded the opinion that Third Street and Oak Street should be widened
for snow and parking purposes. The case where two longer pickup trucks are parked
across the street from each other was cited as an example of why widening the street
should be considered. In that situation, less room is available for cars to get through than
when smaller vehicles are parked across from each other.
It is not staff s recommendation to look at widening Third Street and Oak Street.
Widening the street would take away from the width of the sidewalk, which would
reduce the available space for pedestrians, trees and streetlights. Also, in addition to
significant engineering and cost implications, it did not appear that there was widespread
support to widen the streets and after the meeting several of the property owners
indicated that they did not want to see the streets widened.
Several of the attendees indicated to staff that they would like to find out more regarding
the implications of including "neck-outs" at the intersection of Third and Oak. The
"neck-out" concept was presented and discussed at the original workshops for the project,
but were not included in the feasibility report. There appears, however, to be a renewed
interest in the concept since the addition of "neck-outs" would present opportunities to
create a strong focal point for the center of downtown as well as providing benefits from
a traffic engineering point of view.
Another related suggestion brought up at the meeting was for the City to look at the
possibility of inlaying the City Logo (in pavers) in the center of the intersection of Third
and Oak.
A concept plan showing "neck-outs" and the City Logo at the intersection of Third and
Oak will be presented at the meeting.
In summary, the feedback received at the neighborhood meeting was positive and the
property owners indicated a strong interest in having a quality project.
BUDGET IMPACT
None.
ACTION REQUESTED
Council consideration to authorize staff by motion to prepare a feasibility report for the
option of adding "neck outs" and a paver City Logo at the intersection of Oak and Third.
The report for this option would be an addendum to the original report and would be
brought back to Council for consideration as soon as possible.

SUBJECT:
Orderly Annexation Agreement - Empire Township
DATE:
January 19, 1999
INTRODUCTION
As was indicated in the memo regarding the Seed Annexation Petition, the Orderly Annexation
Agreement was approved by Empire Township on January 12, 1999 subject to resolution of the
Stelzel homestead issue.
DISCUSSION
It is anticipated that an agreement will be reached within a week between Mr. Stelzel and the
Seed Family Trust regarding the timing of annexation of the Stelzel homestead. The Orderly
Annexation Agreement will reference this arrangement specifically and thus the final draft
agreement will not be ready for Council consideration until the February 1, 1999 Council
meeting.
The Town Board also discussed the Bernard Murphy request to annex 160 acres south of the
Seed property. The Board did not wish to include this property in the proposed Orderly
Annexation Agreement and took no other action regarding the request from Mr. Murphy. The
options that would be available for the Murphy property include:
. Pursue a separate orderly annexation agreement for the property.
. Advise Mr. Murphy that he may pursue individual annexation petitions not to exceed 60
acres.
BUDGET IMPACT
None
ACTION REOUESTED
The Council should indicate what if any action should be taken at this time regarding the Murphy
annexation request.
