Wensco is proposing a cooperative housing project for seniors. The proposed
development consists oftwo, 3-story, 41-unit buildings on 13.7 acres. Continuing
discussions concerning the connection of Euclid Street to the north and south of
the proposed development will need to be addressed in the Development Contract.
Two stormwater ponds are shown on the plat rather than three ponds as shown on
the original submission. This reduction is due to drainage issues and moving the
location of the ponds. MOTION by Gamer, second by Strachan to adopt
RESOLUTION R137-98 approving the Cameron Woods Senior Living
Preliminary Plat/Preliminary PUD Plan contingent on engineering requirements
and the resolution of the connection of Euclid Street on the north and south in the
Development Contract. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
b) Adopt Resolution - East Farmington 5th Addition Preliminary and Final Plat
The developer, Sienna Corporation, is seeking Preliminary and Final Plat
approval for the 5th Addition Plat of East Farmington. The plat consists of 12
single-family lots that will be located along the south half of Walnut Street and
between 11 th and 14th Streets. The 5th Addition is the first addition that will
incorporate the new block designs consistent with the PUD Amendment approved
by the City Council in September 1998. The Engineering Division has reviewed
the proposed plat and has recommended that the preliminary and final plat be
approved contingent upon the following:
1. A grading plat that shows how the 5th Addition will tie into the existing
contours.
2. A utility plan showing the existing utilities in relation to the new lots.
Council Minutes (Regular)
December 21, 1998

3. Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 3, Block 2 each has two sets of utility services.
One service for each lot should be abandoned and plugged. This should
be shown on the utility plan.
4. Building permits cannot be issued for lots that do not access a paved
street. If any of the comer lots are planned to access 12th, 13th, or 14th
Street, street and utility plans will need to be submitted and approved for
those streets before building permits can be issued.
5. The grading and utility work for Outlots D, E, F and G is completed
before any occupancy of the lots in Blocks 1 through 3 on the plat.
The City Planning Commission reviewed the Preliminary and Final Plat and
recommended approval. The developer assured the Commission that the grading
and utility work will be completed for the entire block before residents would be
permitted to move in to any of the model homes.
MOTION by Cordes, second by Gamer to adopt RESOLUTION R138-98
approving the preliminary and final plats for the East Farmington 5th Addition
contingent on Engineering requirements and the contingencies outlined above.

c)
Adopt Resolution - Development Contract East Farmington 5th Addition
The Planning Commission approved the East Farmington 5th Addition
Preliminary and Final Plat on December 8, 1998 under the conditions that the 12
lots proposed for model homes remain as such until the utility work and final
grading of the blocks included in the East Farmington 5th Addition are completed.
The position of the Planning Commission was prefaced on the need to complete
the grading and utility work on the remainder of Outlots D, E, F and G due to any
potential nuisances created by grading and utility construction work before
occupancy would be allowed in any of the model homes. MOTION by Gamer,
second by Fitch to approve the execution of the Development Contract and adopt
RESOLUTION R139-98 authorizing its signing, contingent upon the above
conditions and approval by the Engineering Division. APIF, MOTION

Vermillion River WMO
Group AAA Member Communities
October 23, 1998
Page 2
Paragraph 6, Subd. 1 of the Joint Powers Agreement, copy enclosed, explains how the
member cities make an appointment:
. each City Council must select a delegate to select the new commissioner;
. the delegates so selected are required to meet upon 15-days advance notice given
by the Lakeville City Clerk;
. the delegates by majority vote select a new commissioner.
The appointment process is obviously cumbersome. To make the process easier and
without meaning to be presumptuous, the Board suggests that Tom Montgomery, Public Works
Director in Hastings, be appointed to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Michael
Wozniak. If your City Council concurs, please notify me of your concurrence in writing. This
would alleviate the need for a meeting of the city delegates. You should not act, however, until
after November 15th to allow interested persons to respond to the notice of vacancy that is being
published in the official newspapers.
If you have any questions, please call.
Very truly yours,

FROM: Lee M. Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Capital Outlay Award - Public Works Department
DATE: January 4, 1999
INTRODUCTION
At the December 21, 1998 City Council meeting, the Council authorized staff to advertise
for bids for a snow plow truck and street sweeper which are included in the 1999 City
Budget.
DISCUSSION
After further staff review and research, it is recommended that the City purchase the
snow plow truck and street sweeper 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 staff has contacted several surrounding communities and received strong
recommendations advocating the use of the State Bid process and confirming the make
and models that the City wants to acquire.
BUDGET IMPACT
The budgeted amount for the Street Sweeper and snow plow truck is $216,600. The cost
for the Street Sweeper and Snow Plow Truck through the State Bid is approximately
$210,000, depending on the final options chosen.
ACTION REQUESTED
Adopt the attached resolution:
1. Rescinding the previous authorization to advertise for bids for the equipment pursuant
to Council Resolution RI35-98; and,
2. Authorizing staff to acquire the equipment through the State Bid process.
Respectfully submitted,

Resolution R135-98; and,
2. Authorizes City staff to take those steps necessary to acquire the specified equipment through the State

Official Depositories of City Funds
DATE:
January 4, 1999
INTRODUCTION
Each year, official depositories of funds must be designated by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Minnesota Statutes Section 118 sets forth the procedures for the deposit of public funds and
requires the vendors be designated as depository of funds. The City of Farmington has money
which is available for investment. Different financial institutions offer different rates of return on
investment. Investment interest income should be maximized while conserving capital and
protecting taxpayer funds. In order to optimize the rate of return on the City's funds under section
118, the following vendors are recommended as depositories for fiscal year 1999:
First National Bank of Farmington
League of Minnesota Cities 4M Fund
Dain Rauscher
Juran & Moody
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter
Premier Bank of Farmington
Salomon Smith Barney
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 1999.
ACTION REQUIRED
Designate the above as City depositories for 1999.

SUBJECT: Resolution establishing fees - 1999
DATE: January 4, 1999
INTRODUCTION
Each year a Resolution establishing fees and charges for licenses, permits, development fees and
various services is adopted by the City Council at the annual organizational meeting.
DISCUSSION
The attached resolution lists fees which were in effect in 1998, along with recommended changes
that are underlined for 1999. All of the proposed changes to the Fee Schedule have been
reviewed by the Management Team and several are outlined below:
Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment - The review requirements for a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment are similar to that of a Zoning Change. A notice of public hearing must be
published and property owners notified. In addition, a fairly extensive application has to be
completed and submitted to the Met Council. A survey of other cities indicated charges of $500
for a minor comprehensive plan amendment and $1000 for a major amendment. We have had a
number of these recently including St. Michaels Church and Cameron Woods Coop Housing.
As Built Certificate of Survey, Turf Establishment - The City currently collects $1500 surety
with each single family dwelling building permit application. The builder is required to provide
the City with an As-built survey which confirms that the lot was graded according to the
previously approved grading plan. If this survey is not submitted or submitted incorrectly, the
City can use the $1500 to correct any grading problems with the lot.
Staffis proposing to increase this by $500 to a total of $2000 to also provide surety for the turf
establishment requirement which was recently adopted and is scheduled to be implemented in
1999. This additional $500 would allow the City to sod the front, side, and portions of the rear
lot if it is not completed by the builder. Staff has surveyed other cities and find this will bring
the City in line with those cities who are also experiencing new development.
Subd. Imp. Admin. Fee - The Subdivision Improvement Administration Fee has been revised to
reflect reasonable costs involved with administering private development projects and is
consistent with the Council's stated policy that development must pay for itself. This fee
addresses the cost of the Administration staff time involved with filing the plat, tracking and
administering the development contract and compiling assessment rolls.
Water Main Trunk Fee - The changes to the development fees (Water Main Trunk Fee, Water
Treatment Plant Fee etc.) generally reflect a 1.9% increase based on the Engineering News
Record construction cost index increase between September of 1997 and September 1998.
Storm Water Utility - It is proposed that this quarterly fee be increased by $.25 to recognize
future increases in Storm Sewer construction costs.
Metro Sewer Avail. Chg (SAC) - This fee is established by the Metropolitan Council and is
typically increased by $50 each year. The fee is collected with each Single Family Building
permit and then submitted to the Met Council.
Municipal Pool Rates - Season Pass - Single and Family non-resident rates are being increased
$10.00 recognizing that residents already subsidize swimming pool expenses through their
property taxes.
Ice Arena Rates - Dry Floor Rental- This new fee is being imposed to help funding at the arena
during non-season times.
Civic Arena Advertising Rates -The arena IS now selling advertising space to help meet
budgetary demands.
Puppet Wagon Performances and Senior Center Annual Membership Fees - Are now being
separated into resident and non-resident fees for services and facilities that are subsidized by City
property taxes. The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission and Senior Center Advisory
Board have been notified of these proposed changes.
Barricades - This fee relates to events such as a block party. If all barricades are returned in
good condition, the full fee would be refunded as opposed to a previous flat fee.
BUDGET IMPACT
These proposed changes in 1999 Fees were taken into consideration during the preparation of the
1999 City Budget. Proposed fee schedule changes have been extensively reviewed to ensure that
City fees are equitable and comparable with other communities.
ACTION REQUESTED
Adopt the attached Resolution Establishing 1999 Charges and Fees for Licenses and Permits
effective January 4, 1999.
Respectfully submitted,

COMPREHENSIVE STORM DRAINAGE PLAN
POLICY FOR DEVELOPMENTIREDEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY
BACKGROUND STATEMENT
The Municipal Storm Sewer utilizes a fee structure for storm water improvements based on anticipated
development. A parcel's contribution is determined by size and land use under the principal that a parcel
should pay for past, present and future storm sewer improvements necessary to meet the needs of the
parcel.
The fees are set forth in the Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan dated September, 1985 as updated
(Storm Water Area) and policy dated September, 1989 (Storm Water Utility). Storm water utility fees are
based on size and land use on the basis that more intense land use pay a higher fee. Utility fees are paid
by all developed property on a quarterly basis. Storm water area charges are paid at the time of
development to help offset storm water improvements associated with the development of the property
and are based by land use on a per acre rate. Presently, the Storm Water Area Charges only address
developments associated with platting. Therefore, a policy is required which addresses development not
associated with platting. When adopted, this policy will be incorporated as part of the Farmington Storm
Water Drainage Plan.
POLICY STATEMENT
The purpose of this policy is to set forth the basis of fees and charges relating to past, present and future
storm water improvements necessary to serve anticipated land use for development activities not related to
the platting of property.
AFFECTED DEVELOPMENTS
A. A Storm Water Area Charge shall be paid before any building or development permits are approved,
or the City makes before any improvements are made to a City owned park.. which significantly
affects stormwater runoff.
B. Storm Water Area Charges are not required for the following activities:
1. Building permits on platted property.
2. Residential or agricultural accessory structures or additions.
PROCEDURE
A. It is the responsibility of the property owner or his agent to present to the City Engineer or his
designee the following information:
1. Site plan showing location of all existing and proposed buildings and other developments relative to
property lines.
13
B. The City Engineer shall calculate the Storm Water Area Charge as follows:
1. Undeveloped Property
a. The Engineer shall determine the area of development upon review of the site plan. The
following minimum areas shall apply:
Residential
Commercial
Industrial
C-l, F-l, F-2, F-3
10,000 square feet
10,000 square feet
40,000 square feet
80,000 square feet
b. The Engineer shall multiply the estimated area by the rate set forth in Table 3 of the Farmington
Storm Drainage Plan as amended.
2. Redevelopment
a. The Engineer shall determine the area of development and change in land use upon review of the
site plan. The following minimum areas shall apply:
Residential
Commercial
Industrial
C-l, F-l, F-2, F-3
10,000 square feet
10,000 square feet
40,000 square feet
80,000 square feet
b. Ifit is determined there is no change in land use_classification as described in Table 3 of the
Farmington Storm Water Drainage Plan, and the property has previously been charged the storm
water area charge. no fee is to be charged.
c. If it is determined there is a change in land use, the fee shall be calculated as follows:
Area x (Existing Land Use Rate - Proposed Land Use Rate) = Fee
Ifthe fee is less than $0.00, no fee will be charged.
14
SCHEDULE B
WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION PLAN FOR UNPLATTED PROPERTY
BACKGROUND STATEMENT
The Municipal Water Utility utilizes a fee structure for water supply and distribution improvements
based on anticipated development. A parcel's contribution is determined by the parcel's size and land use
under the principal that a parcel should pay for past, present and future water system improvements
necessary to meet the anticipated water needs of the parcel.
The fee schedule set forth in the Farmington Water Supply and Distribution Plan dated June, 1988 as
updated sets forth charges for water area and water hookups. The water connection fee is primarily used
for present and future pumping and storage capacity and is based on type of land use. The water area
charge is primarily used for past, present and future oversizing of mains and is set at a uniform per acre
rate for future development. Also, the water area charge presently only addresses development associated
with the platting of property. Therefore, a policy is required which sets forth fees for development not
associated with platting. When adopted, this policy will be incorporated as part of the Farmington Water
Distribution and Supply Plan.
POLICY STATEMENT
The purpose of this policy is to set forth the basis of fees and charges relating to past, present and future
improvements necessary to serve anticipated land use for development activities not related to the
development of property.
AFFECTED DEVELOPMENTS
A. A water area charge shall be paid before any building permit is approved, unless specifically
exempted under Section B.
B. Water Area Charges for the following activities are not required:
1. Any building permits on platted property, except buildings on parkland platted after Jan. 1, 1995.
2. Residential or agricultural accessory structures.
PROCEDURE
A. It is the responsibility of the property owner or his agent to present to the City Engineer or his
designee the following information:
1. Site plan showing location of all existing and proposed buildings and other development relative to
property lines.
B. The City Engineer shall calculate the water area charge as follows:
1. The Engineer shall determine the area of development upon review of the site plan. The following
minimum areas shall apply:
Residential
Commercial
Industrial
C-l, F-l, F-2, F-3
10,000 square feet
10,000 square feet
10,000 square feet
80,000 square feet
2. The Engineer shall multiply the estimated area by the rate set forth in Table 14 of the Farmington
Water Supply and Distribution Plan dated June, 1988 as amended.

SUBJECT:
Snowmobile Ordinance Amendment
DATE:
January 4, 1999
INTRODUCTION
City staff has been advised that Chapter 8 of the City Code regarding snowmobiles no longer complies
with Minnesota State Statutes concerning the requirement for a Snowmobile Safety Certificate. Staff has
addressed this inconsistency in the form of an amendment to Chapter 8 of the City Code.
DISCUSSION
Current Ordinance 6-8-3-E requires snowmobile operators between the ages of 14 and 18 years of age to
possess a valid Snowmobile Safety Certificate issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
In addition, other sections of the ordinance reflect the age and certificate requirements.
Minnesota Statutes have been amended to require any snowmobile operator born after December 31, 1980
to possess the DNR Snowmobile Safety Certificate. It is anticipated that State Law will eventually require
all snowmobile operators to possess this certificate.
Rather than amend City Ordinance Chapter 8 repeatedly over the next few years staff recommends
amending the Ordinance language to comply with State Law. A copy of the proposed Amendments has
been attached for your review.
These amendments have been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.
ACTION REQUESTED
Adopt the amendment to Chapter 8 of the City code as presented.
Respectfully submitted,

Property Owner Annexation Request
DATE:
January 4, 1999
INTRODUCTION
The City received the attached letter from Bernard Murphy on Wednesday, December 30, 1998
requesting annexation of 160 acres of property he currently owns in Empire Township.
DISCUSSION
The property Mr. Murphy owns and is requesting annexation of is adjacent to the Seed Family
Trust property to the south (see attached map). This property is currently contiguous to the City
and thus could be annexed by ordinance. Individual annexation by ordinance petitions would be
limited to 60 acres or less.
It would be possible to include this area in the current orderly annexation agreement being
discussed for the Seed Family Trust Property or it could be included in a separate agreement.
BUDGET IMPACT
Unknown at this time.
ACTION REQUESTED
It is recommended that this request be reviewed with the Planning Commission and that it also
be discussed with Empire Township. The results of these discussions will be presented to the
City Council at the January 19, 1999 meeting.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Mr. Erar,
The purpose of my letter is to request a parcel of my land be annexed into
Farmington from Empire. The parcel is located in section 19, township 114, range
19, southwest ~, containing approximately 160 acres. This property is south of the
Seed property and annexing it to Farmington would join north and south Farmington
by filling the gap - please see attached map.

SUBJECT: 1999 CDBG Application
DATE: January 4, 1999
INTRODUCTION
The City of Farmington is scheduled to receive $53,987 in Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds in 1999. Attached is the application as to how these funds
are proposed to be utilized.
DISCUSSION
1999 will be the first year of the new allocation formula for CDBG funds for the cities in
District 4 (Farmington, Hastings, Lakeville, and Rosemount). Under the new formula,
one half of the total allocation for the District will be divided evenly amongst the four
cities and the other half will be distributed based on a HUD formula which relies
primarily on population. Under this formula, the City is scheduled to receive $53,987 in
1999 and will likely receive a comparable amount every year.
Staff is recommending that 1999 Grant amount be used to fund two activities. These
include one-half of the salary and benefits for the Senior Center Coordinator position at a
cost of$21,521, with the balance of $32,466 dedicated to the redevelopment of the Elm
Park area north of City Center.
The funding of ~he Senior Center Coordinator position was an activity that was funded in
the 1997-98 CDBG allocation. Because of the population served by the Senior Center, it
automatically qualifies as an activity that benefits low-moderate income individuals. By
funding 50% of the cost of the Coordinator position, it allows for the cost of this position
to be gradually phased into the General Fund budget.
The new owner of City Center has expressed interest in expanding the Center to the
north. To accomplish this, property acquisition, demolition, and environmental cleanup
will be required. While the City would anticipate seeking funding from the Minnesota
Department of Trade and Economic Development and the Metropolitan Council for
demolition and cleanup costs, there are local match requirements that could be met with
CDBG funds.
Dakota County Environment Services has conducted a Phase I Environmental Review of
this area in 1998 and the City HRA has completed environmental studies of this area in
the past. The total cost of the cleanup is not known at this time since it will be dependent
on the County's Phase II Study and the extent and location of the proposed commercial
development.
It should also be pointed out that Mary's Shelter in Eagan is requesting $3,000 for a
building program they are undertaking for expansion of their facility in Eagan. While it
is unusual for an outside agency to request funding, it is an eligible activity. Mary's
Shelter has requested funding from all cities in Dakota County and apparently several
cities are considering funding similar requests. Mary's Shelter staff has indicated that
their facilities have been utilized by families from the Farmington area. If the City of
Farmington would fund this request, it would be recommended that it be taken from the
amount identified for the Elm Park Redevelopment.
BUDGET IMPACT
Funding one-half of the Senior Center Coordinator position will benefit the General
Fund.
ACTION REOUESTED
Adopt the attached resolution to including funding of one-half of the salary and benefits
cost for the Senior Center Coordinator position in 1999 and the balance of the 1999
CDBG funding be dedicated for redevelopment of the Elm Park Area.
Council determination as to whether to fund the request from Mary's Shelter. Should
Council approve Mary's Shelter request for $3,000, staff would revise the 1999 CDBG
Application to reflect this approval, with the allocation of funding for the Elm Park
Redevelopment being reduced by a corresponding amount.

Dear Mr. Olson:
I am writing to request support for the building renovation of Mary's Shelter from the City of
Farmington, through the Community Development Block Grants. We have spoken to you, briefly, about
the project and though you explained that CDBG funds in the past have been used for city related
projects, Mary's Shelter housing services fit well within the eligibility. Though, this would be different
from what you've used these funds for in the past, we are hoping that we will be considered for a part of
the city of Farmington's CDBG funds. On behalf of Mary' s Shelter, we are grateful for the opportunity to
seek your support.
Mary's Shelter is a non-profit human service organization. We provide emergency and transitional
housing and supportive services for women and children in a safe and comfortable setting, here in the
community. We are the only emergency / transitional housing facility for homeless women and children
in Dakota County. The strength of our work is our strong community partnerships, talented staff
committed volunteers, Board of Directors and of course, women who are actively pursuing change for
themselves and their children. Our mission is to provide a supportive, encouraging housing environment
for women and their children who are in transition, where they can gain the strength, self worth and skills
needed to become economically self-sufficient.
All of our residents come from Dakota County cities. Nearly twenty percent of our residents last year
were from district four... Farmington, Hastings, Lakeville and Rosemount. Families can stay with us for a
few nights or up to two years, as they secure permanent housing. It takes awhile to secure housing with
the low property vacancy rate. Last year, at this time the average length of stay was 40 days, today it is
up to five - seven months.
Please review the enclosed materials. We are hopeful that you will support our work with a contribution
from the CDBG funds with $3,000 towards our building renovation, through our Capital Campaign. We
have received 21 % of the funds needed for this important project. We are requesting public and private
support. We've been fortunate to have some very positive site visits and reviews. I'd be delighted to
provide a tour of our facility, review our plans and answer questions. I wanted to submit a description
and request for support, I will gladly complete the application form, when you need it and make a
presentation to the city council. Please feel free to contact me at 456-9110. We look forward to hearing
from you.
Thank you for all you do for the community.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT:
Senior Co-op Property Tax issues
DATE:
January 4, 1999
INTRODUCTION
During the course of discussion of the proposed Cameron Woods Senior Living Cooperative at
the December 21, 1998 Council meeting, Councilmember Strachan inquired about property tax
implications of such a housing development. Of particular concern was the issue of tax
delinquency and potential tax forfeiture of the property.
DISCUSSION
This cooperative is of the "share cooperative" variety. This means that residents buy shares of
the cooperative and the share allows them to reside in a unit in the cooperative building. The
cooperative itself owns the building. Residents are allowed to homestead the property for lower
tax rates but the units are not treated singly for legal ownership. Each unit has a per unit value
that is assigned to it, but no individual "legal description" is attached to each unit or each units'
"owner".
Tax statements are not sent to individual residents/units but as a master cooperative statement
and one payment is made for the entire building by the building's management organization. How
the management company collects the corresponding property tax amount from each unit is up to
the management company. The cooperative pays one property tax bill and as such, individual
units would not fall into delinquency nor tax forfeiture. The only way the property would go tax
forfeit would be if the entire cooperative went without payment of the property taxes due on their
master statement.
ACTION REQUIRED
For information only.
Respectfully submitted,
